Library Battle

Applejack and Rainbow Dash arrived at the library nervous and out of breath. The reason for being so short of breath is that they both ran around Ponyville asking for Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie to come to the library. After seeing their friends and getting them to show up Applejack and Rainbow Dash told them what had at the orchard farm. After they finished Twilight looked very worried and told them that they are welcome to stay at her house. Twilight then walked over to a desk that had quills, ink, and parchment and began writing a letter to Princess Celestia to let her know what happened. As everypony waited for a response from the princess Pinkie took the time to cook them all some lunch. Pinkie made everypony all chocolate covered daisy sandwiches. After they finished their meal a magical light filled the room and in the middle of the room stood Celestia, Luna, and Cadence.

"Princess, I am so glad that you were able to make it on such short notice." Twilight said greeting her mentor with a look of hope in her eyes.

"Don't worry my faithful student. After I received your letter I made it a priority to come as quickly as possible and aid you in any way that I can. I also brought along the elements with me just in case." Celestia replied with a smile to help keep everyponies nerves under control.

The sun was starting to set and give way to the moon while Fluttershy along with the help of Luna and Rarity made dinner to help keep everpony calm and distracted. Fluttershy made some simple vegetable soup but Rarity could never understand how it was simple when there was no other kind of flavor that the soup made could even exist anywhere else. Rarity made elegant salads made with fresh lettuce, tomato, olives, and a very rich flavoring dressing. Luna made something that no pony that could be food and it was called moon cake. The thing that made moon cake so confusing is that it is a simple cheesecake with chocolate icing on it. Luna explained that the reason it was moon cake was after one bite you felt like you were in space walking on the moon because of the rich flavor. Everypony finished their meals and cleaned up their messes when they heard an evil laugh coming from downstairs. They all headed down wearing their respected elements knowing full well that at the very bottom they were going to confront Sombra and defeat him once and for all.

"I find it so intriguing that you nine think that you can defeat me." Sombra stated with such confidence that everypony felt a shiver run up their spine.

"It's time that you pay for your crimes from when you ruled the Crystal Empire to the little ponies that you have killed in your sick game of revenge." Celestia said hoping to keep all the girls calm and collected so they could face Sombra and defeat him with ease.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs they saw that the basement was gone and was replaced with a big expanse of nothing. They were all able to continue to walk as if they were walking on air. They kept going until that saw a chair off into the distance and halted before they got any closer to see who was in the chair. The chair slowly swiveled around showing Sombra sitting there with a smug grin. He looked at the Princesses and at the element bearers and couldn't help but chuckle at the sight that he would describe as pitiful. He hopped off of his chair and began to walk towards his enemies determination in his eyes to achieve his revenge.

"I'm going to enjoy tearing all of you apart for stealing my kingdom from me and banishing me from ever returning to it." Sombra said venom coming out of his voice.

Celestia was opening her mouth to say something to Sombra was quickly silenced when he fired a dark magic bolt at her. Celestia being no stranger to combat easily summoned a shield and defended herself from the attack. Sombra then cast a spell making nine other copies of himself. They all broke apart and went in and attacked all of them individually. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence are capable of keeping themselves safe but they worried about the others unsure if they could keep themselves safe from any attacks Sombra threw at them.

Twilight was fighting her copy and was getting tired very quickly because the shield she had up to protect her from Sombra's onslaught of attacks was starting to its toll on her. She had to come up with something and fast. She then remembered that a couple of weeks ago she learned a deflection shield. She never had time to practice it to see what she could pull off with it but now was a good as any to see if it would work. She waited for the moment that Sombra unleashed another bolt of energy before quickly switching shields. As soon as she switched the magical bolt was shot back at the clone and struck it right in the chest killing the clone and making it disappear.

Rainbow Dash flew around dodging the attacks her clone was shooting off at her. As she was flying around she saw that she couldn't get close enough to strike at the clone. She knew that the only way that she could get close enough was to sonic rainboom to give her the speed she needed to reach him in less than ten seconds. Seeing as that was her only option she began to fly high into the air and then began her fast descent back down. She reached her max speed and produced a sonic rainboom hurtling herself straight into the clone crushing all of its ribs and sternum killing it.

Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy worked together to take down their clones. Fluttershy flew high enough in the air to keep an eye on the clones while Rarity used and invisibility spell on Applejack to hide her from the clones. As the clones were distracted by the white unicorn and cream colored pegasus they didn't hear the hoofsteps of the invisible orange mare that came charging at them. When Applejack got close she buck all the right in the face shattering their skulls and sending pieces of bone fragment into their brains causing them to bleed out to death.

Pinkie just out of nowhere pulls out her party cannon and shoots it at her clone. From the cannon came a present that landed right in front of the clone. The clone looked down confused at the present and tried to see what it was supposed to do. After a while when the present didn't do anything the clone decided to ignore it and go after the pink mare. As he was about to attack he heard from the present a hysterically evil laugh. When the clone looked back from out of the present came another pink mare but with a straighter mane mane and a darker pink coat. The other pink mare pulled out a scalpel and was so quick that the clone couldn't counter her before she slit his throat. After he died the darker pink mare looked over at pinkie and waved at her.

The three princesses finished up with their clones and regrouped with Twilight and the gang. They looked at Sombra who was too tired to speak or even cast a spell to attack them or even defend himself with. Celestia looked at the girls who knew what to do and activated their elements. As they rose off the ground Sombra's eyes got huge knowing at what was going to happen next. Before he could even say anything a huge rainbow of light came down upon him and destroyed his very essence. All that was left from the encounter was Sombra's crown and his horn.

With Sombra defeated this time and peace returning to Equestria Celestia was able to enjoy the rising sun and be proud of her faithful student and her friends. She knew that without them Equestria may have never known peace and would be ruled in complete darkness. Proud of her student she wished them all a good night's sleep and left for Canterlot to return to her duties and continue to help Twilight is she ever needs it in the near future.
