When Giant Ponies and Creatures Attack - Season 2 Episode 14 - The Beauty Waiting in the Darkness
Summary: A giant evil Fleur-de-Lis attacks Seville, Spain and promises to show everyone her beauty is also made up with darkness. Rarity has to stop her while her friends are still in Equestria.
After a terrifying battle with Mane Allgood in Edinburgh the previous night, Twilight and her friends decide they should return to their own world. However, Rarity wants to stay just in case anyone else falls under Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon’s control. So, they all decided to let her do the next mission on her own. The next morning, she visits Seville, a city in Spain, talking with the people on the streets.
“Pleasure to meet you all!” Rarity says towards the tinies as she happily greets them while trotting through the streets of Seville. “My you people sure have some lovely palm trees. Pretty hot out today, huh? By the way, the name’s Rarity!”
A couple citizens take pictures of Rarity, who shows some astonishing poses for some photographers residing either from the same city she was visiting, or from a different city.
“Now you, my lady, shall be the next fashion star for our upcoming show this weekend!” A male photographer told Rarity, promising her that she can be another popular figure for the country of Spain to remember forever.
“Seems like a very important thing I just love to accept very much and I will be very honored to come and attend your fashion show in this city, darling!” Rarity agrees to be a fashion star in Seville, which leaves everyone happy, cheering on for her just because how adorable she looks judging by how much her beauty shines across the world.
“Here’s a piece of paper where you can sign your name, please.” The male photographer gives Rarity a paper from his right hand to write her name on it. He also hands over to her his pen.
Feeling that today is just the day where she can show everyone her true beauty, Rarity levitates the pen and starts writing her name carefully one at a time. Once she’s finished, she gives the man back his pen and he appreciates her for showing such generosity.
“Generally speaking, these people really do care for who I am. Oh, I must be dreaming and it must be a dream come true!” Rarity said to herself, looking around and notice everyone calling out her name with excitement upon arriving today showing such positive attitude towards the humans.
Rarity waves goodbye to the people and heads on forward to see the Torre del Oro building. When she enters the building, she finds the place filled with art, portraits, and many more!
Thrilled with excitement, the kind and confident unicorn was looking at several masterpieces made during the traditional and modern centuries. “Whoever imagined that this is just filled of classic stuff that not even I can stop seeing all day?” Rarity wondered to herself.
Some citizens, along with a few tourists from different countries, are also having a tour inside the Torre del Oro. A woman spots Rarity, who’s looking at the timeline back from the early 18th Century up until the mid-1940’s.
“Excuse me, are you visiting this place, too?” The woman asked.
“Why, yes, of course. Everyone’s really be into history when they read what happened back in the old days back in the that puts them at ease. I gotta act like Twilight Sparkle for once, learning about history and historical figures.” Rarity replies, finding that history in the past is something she must think about for a change and compare it with the modern era it is today.
“Okay, that’s amazing. I’ll let you get to it then. See you later!” The woman waved goodbye at Rarity, who waves goodbye to her back.
About three minutes later, Rarity was somewhere in the area where the instruments are located, often the ones played in the country of Spain, such as bongos, maracas, guitars and drums.
Rarity wanted to try and play with one of the instruments that caught her attention, but she refrained herself from doing so, knowing that anything that’s not hers should not be touched without permission.
However, as Rarity was still inside, she heard screaming and panicking from outside.
“Now what? Another evil giant on the loose again? Is this some kinda joke?” Rarity wondered, preparing to leave the building and see what the commotion was about.
Outside, Rarity sees multiple humans running and fleeing with panicked expressions. Nearby car alarms went off, and something dangerous is already happening. In fact, a unicorn so big attacked the city out of nowhere, who fired her magic at multiple buildings just as she began her rampage.
Her name was Fleur-de-Lis. She is currently under one of Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon’s mind control, which turns her evil and being a villain in the process. Her eyes became red when evil. She was so tall and merciless, she didn’t even care for whatever would happen to the people in the end she was harming.
“My beauty of evil is so strong, it’ll make you tinies die more quicker than five seconds.” Fleur-de-Lis laughed evilly, aiming at another building with her magic and destroyed afterwards.
Fleur-de-Lis gave an evil grin towards the tinies, who were very afraid of her as she stomped her way even more closer with each step that vibrated the ground really loudly. She trampled on some buildings in her way, along with a few vehicles, and left big hoof prints behind on the streets.
The destruction has grown more out of hand when the evil giant unicorn continues killing more tinies and wiping out more and more along the way.
“I’ll wipe you all out at once!” Fleur-de-Lis said unleashing her magic while standing on two hooves and rearing. Any buildings caught in her way soon went kaboom, and exploded in the process, turning them into nothing but dirt.
But still, she wasn’t anywhere near done. Fleur-de-Lis used a special technique known as the “Super Kick”, in a pony can kick their enemies as hard as possible. When one person threw a big rock, she kicked it with two hooves very powerfully, causing the rock to break into every single piece that was left falling on the ground.
“I am one unicorn who will show you pathetic tinies why I’m called the Beauty of Darkness when on the dark side.” Fleur-de-Lis laughed, as she soon cast a spell that turned the sky into darkness. The sky became dark with black clouds despite the time being 11:39 AM. Everyone witnessed nothing but horror as Fleur’s spell left them hopeless to do anything.
Rarity ran, but when she looked up in the air, she noticed things were different, likely because of the spell that the evil unicorn with pink mane and tail placed. “Why is the sky so black this late in the morning? That doesn’t even make any sense at all.” She looked confused to why it’s unusual for the sky to be very dark in the morning hours.
Only imagining the fear inside herself, Rarity was not sure what she should do, having herself in a sticky situation right now. However, she soon felt the ground shaking below her hooves and it eventually got more louder when she realized the steps came from the mind-controlled Fleur-de-Lis.
Fleur-de-Lis cackles evilly, stomps on vehicles and crush three structures below her hooves as she walked through the streets, leaving a big mess behind her. She then approached Rarity with an evil grin on her face. Rarity looked up at her and snarled at her for what she did to the humans so far.
“So it was you that caused the sky to go from blue to black! You may be under Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon’s mind control, but I will break you free, no matter what!” Rarity stood up against the giant evil unicorn who’s been acting mean and cruel and hating everyone she saw in her way. “I cannot allow you to keep this up… No way, no way you’re getting away with this!”
“Like you could stop me. Don’t you get it? My beauty is filled with such darkness and evil inside my whole body. Your beauty is nowhere near my power of beauty, which is far stronger than you could’ve imagined, Rarity.” Fleur-de-Lis said, comparing her beauty filled with darkness being way more better than Rarity’s beauty, which was filled with light and good.
“Hmph. Alright then. Beauty of Light versus Beauty of Evil seems fine to me!” Rarity challenged Fleur-de-Lis in a duel, fighting her and protect Seville from her destruction.
“I should warn you, the spell I made can’t be undone unless you defeat me, and I’m pretty sure of myself that you don’t stand a chance.” Fleur-de-Lis gave Rarity a reminder that her spell that caused the sky to go black is unable to be changed until she is beaten.
Rarity, shocked at what Fleur just told her, had no choice but to fight. It was a fight for Rarity’s life.
With the battle just starting, Rarity dodged one of Fleur-de-Lis’ attacks and rolled over when the latter’s attack hit a vehicle behind her, though she was still unharmed.
“Phew, that was close.” Rarity felt relived that she was not hurt in any kind of way, though she noticed Fleur still isn’t done yet. She had more tricks up her hooves that may leave Rarity left unnoticed.
“Try dodging this!” Fleur-de-Lis unleashed several magic beams at Rarity, preparing to kill her. Rarity dodged and ran as fast as she could.
Making sure that her A-game plan is still with her, Rarity decided to fight back seriously and prove she’s not just a warrior, but also a pony who has enough strength in saving everyone from her rampage and get her out of the darkness.
First, Rarity picks up a sword and throws it at the giant mind-controlled unicorn with her magic. Unfortunately, the larger unicorn stopped it with her own magic and threw it into the water.
Rarity angrily charged at the cruel and wicked Fleur-de-Lis, and used ‘Onslaught’, where she rushed forward a deliver a series of kicks and finish with an uppercut using her hind hooves, but that was a big mistake… as Fleur-de-Lis did a twirl kick, striking her in the stomach, and making her fall to the ground. Rarity coughed, but she recovered a couple seconds afterwards.
Though surprised that Rarity was one pony who could stay in touch with her despite the former not being a giant like she is, Fleur-de-Lis still had to admit that Rarity would have to do much more than what she already have shown in order to keep her satisfied.
“You low-class unicorn! You really think an elite and upper-class pony like myself is gonna be outshined by the likes of you? Ha, you must be joking or something!” Fleur-de-Lis taunted Rarity, considering herself more superior than Rarity in terms of rank and power.
“Oh, I’m not a low-class pony, I can be considered a high-class pony in ways you don’t ever think of!” Rarity told Fleur-de-Lis, reminding that she’s been getting stronger with the help of her friends.
“Prove it, otherwise you have no chance of beating me.” Fleur-de-Lis suggests that Rarity gives her evidence that she is such a high-class unicorn as much as she is. “You might be from Ponyville, but I am somepony who lives in Canterlot. Mm-hmm, the place with more elite ponies in contrast with the ones from your village.”
Having enough with Fleur-de-Lis’ constant talking, Rarity fired her magic at Fleur-de-Lis, but the latter used a magic barrier to deflect it.
“Try harder!” Fleur-de-Lis still wanted to see proof that Rarity can satisfy her wants.
“You want me to try harder? Then I’ll try harder for you then if that’s what you want!” Rarity once again stands up and promises this time she was serious. “I’ve trained as hard as I could for the past months and I will show you just how strong I really am!”
Rarity jumped into the air and prepare for a devastating into Fleur’s stomach. She kicked her several times, but every single was proven pointless, having no effect on the evil giant unicorn at all.
Fleur-de-Lis eventually stopped Rarity using her red magic, trapping Rarity in a bubble so she can counter an attack with her own. She struck Rarity with a stronger punch, slamming her down to the ground.
“She’s more tougher than I thought…” Rarity pant heavily as she could feel herself losing very quickly and that it might not be what she thought of.
The giant evil unicorn stomped and walked up to her, telling her, “You definitely got that right. I am much made of tougher stuff. Thanks to those evil alicorns putting me under their mind control, I can’t even stop myself from letting the darkness take over my beauty. I am completely invincible! My powers are anything my imagination!”
“And I’m not finished with you yet. I’m still a pony capable of fighting you any further, and I’m still gonna keep on fighting you until the very end…!” Rarity replies back with a determined expression, vowing she can defeat Fleur-de-Lis with all the strength and power she has left inside her body.
“So, we shall continue the fight then? Just warning you now, you won’t last long.” Fleur-de-Lis reminded Rarity the longer the battle would be, the less chances Rarity can live.
“We’ll see about that!” Rarity said before she began powering up.
Before Fleur-de-Lis could even make her finishing move, she noticed a strange aura surrounding Rarity. She tried using a magic beam attack to finish her, but Rarity was able to hit it back with only one hoof.
This left the evil unicorn surprised her own attack got bounced back. She noticed that Rarity was changing into another form that she never saw before until this day.
When Rarity was fully powered up, she changed into her Rainbowfied form, which makes her completely invincible and now, she has some way to keep up with Fleur-de-Lis’ powers and show her how powerful she really is.
“What is this transformation? I never seen you like this before.” Fleur wanted to know what transformation Rarity was in, curious about it on top of that.
“This… is my Rainbowfied form. When I’m in this state, I am untouchable and can’t be hurt either. Now witness a true taste of what my power!” Rarity said, levitating herself into the air and attack Fleur-de-Lis with some powerful kicks and punches.
Rarity’s attack left Fleur-de-Lis unstable and nowhere to keep up with her powers.
“Why can’t I hit you? Stay still so I can kill you where you stand!”
“You gotta keep up with me if you really wanna touch me so badly because I’m too quick for you now! I have something that I got just for you!” Rarity told Fleur-de-Lis, letting her know that once she’s done with her attacks, she will finish her off and bring her back on the good side.
“I can’t lay a scratch on her?!” Fleur-de-Lis tried a twirl kick, but Rarity moved so fast, she couldn’t even kick her.
Angered, Fleur attempts several kicks towards Rarity, but all she does is just keep missing a single one, and so far not a single touch has been made. “Now I’m really furious!” Fleur-de-Lis was even more angry with Rarity striking her more powerful than before.
Soon Rarity finished things off with a super kick right into Fleur’s stomach, knocking her down regarding how big she is. Fleur-de-Lis soon collapsed and fell into the ground. She started shrinking and revert back to normal, meaning she was freed from Daybreaker’s mind control.
“Phew, I’m so glad I took her down… It was a tough, but I still got it out the way. For once, I didn’t even need my friends with me, just like I imagined.” Rarity told herself, never thinking that she could do something without Twilight and the others involved. “Twilight, I did everything successful on my own, just like I promised from last night!”
Though Rarity was feeling worried about Fleur-de-Lis, she knows that it would take like two days or so until she can fully regain consciousness. Everyone has cheered on for her for saving Seville and breaking Fleur free from the darkness that took control over her completely.
“Thank you, everyone! But I’m afraid it’s time for me to head back home! My friends are waiting for me there, and I don’t wanna miss out on the fun either!” Rarity tells the citizens that although she is feeling honored for saving Seville, she has to go back to into Equestria and catch up with her friends.
“But what about the fashion show we promised from earlier?” The male photographer asked.
“No thanks, I changed my mind. We can do it another time, when I come back in the future, of course.” Rarity said before trotting and leaving Seville.
Out of nowhere, a portal opened up right before Rarity and she waved goodbye to the citizens before walking through the portal and catch up with her five friends in Equestria. The people hope that they will meet Rarity one day, knowing she has such potential and passion.
“Blast it! Plans have backfired even more!” Daybreaker banged her hoof on the table as she has just heard news that Fleur-de-Lis has been freed from her control for the third time.
“Even without Twilight, I heard it was Rarity who broke that unicorn free from our control. Great, that’s just great…” Nightmare Moon felt the same way as Daybreaker. “This seems to be something as a problem at this moment…”
“I’ll deal with her myself!” Dark Princess Cadance volunteered to track down Rarity on her own.
However, Daybreaker declines Princess Cadance’s offer, saying, “No. We will let Celestia and Luna do the job next time anyone from the Mane Six group shows up. “I got something for Twilight Sparkle when she returns in the real world. She’ll be in for the toughest challenge in her whole life yet!” She smirked.
“An excellent idea. This will be our chance to shine!” Dark Princess Celestia stands up and looks confident that she will defeat Twilight Sparkle tomorrow.
“When we see Twilight, she will be bowing down to me and my sister and learn how outclassed she really is.” Dark Princess Luna waits for the next day to attack another city alongside her older sister, and they would make sure that they defeat Twilight Sparkle just like how it did before twice.

Notes/trivia
  • This takes place in Seville, Spain (which is also mentioned in the source).
  • This is the third time where Fleur-de-Lis is the main antagonist.
  • It is the third episode where the country of Spain has been attacked and the second instance where it was a unicorn.
  • This was submitted at 11:30 AM instead of 11 AM due to the previous episode not being submitted last Monday.
  • Like episodes 11 and 31, Fancy Pants is not involved in this story, most likely because Fleur-de-Lis was under Daybreaker’s mind control.
  • Rarity is the only member of the Mane Six to appear in this story. This is the first time where someone other than Twilight Sparkle appears solo, and the first since episode 24 where there’s only one protagonist.
  • This marks the second time where more than one episode in the When Giant Ponies and Creatures Attack series was released in one week, and the first case where two episodes that is not a two-part episode were submitted on the same day.
