I stood in the tallest tower in Canterlot, Celestia's room, she requested it was done up here so it could easily be contained if something went awry and the destruction would be minimal up so high in the air. All the elements stood behind her, Luna at her side. Even Cadenza and Shining Armor made it up here, if only to protect the others.

"Finally, all the pieces are in place...we have all we need to destroy a home of a god." I spoke, taking the blood and painting a large circle on the floor, Celestia's rug had been moved before all this.

I easily painted the symbol of life, the very one I saw many times on the armor of my greatest foe that always fell by my blade. Three circles remained on the outer edges of the ritual design, one I placed the skeletal dragon's wing on, the next I placed the sedated angel on, he was quite knocked out from drugs, and the third, I put Celestia on.

"Pour your holy energy into the center of the great circle...this is what is left." I commanded.

Celestia hesitated.

"Auntie, he is doing this for love, for someone he holds so dearly. Just remember what I told you." Cadenza spoke with her very feminine voice.

Celestia sighed, firing a beam of her energy into the circle, making it instantly glow yellow, shining the repeated pattern on the dome ceiling.

The design quickly began the catch with white flames, the angel and the wing floating into the air and spinning slowly, rapidly gaining speed as they centered the middle. Celestia continued to blast the ritual cir le with her energy.

"Royals, show yourselves." I spoke and all seven royal guards appeared from dark mist, each one carrying their own specially made weapons and standarized bow that only they held.

"You seven will lead the forces into what will most certainly be a great battle. We must win, this is our final attack." I informed them.

"Wait, what?" Twilight questioned.

My forces were crowded in the corridors, easily keeping all of Celestia's guards out, making sure I could move in without a problem. All of them were present, the Underworld guarded from reapers by a great black shield charged from the large dark energy core below the city there, the same went for my Equestrian castle. Eighteen billion of my forces were there, gathered from multiple universes, all trained extremely well. My elite teams, specialists, and even my dungeon keepers were present, nothing could stop us all. The ponies had been outwitted, I transported them through a portal when we were all in this room...the preparation for the ritual was a great excuse.

"You have been outplayed..." I mumbled back, the ponies still in awe at what was happening.

The two ritual objects clashed together in the middle, a white blinding light exploded from them, a yellow rimmed portal shown, showing the very golden gates on top of clouds that revealed the golden city and marble streets behind them, a great castle in the distance. The circle had turned from the deep crimson of tainted blood to a shining yellow that added a great design to Celestia's floor.

My royal guards opened Celestia's bedroom door and my forces ran in, entering the portal, dozens moving, two royals already inside to lead them to our inevitable victory.

"Sorry Celestia, but I had to, I could not go in by myself, I would survive, but not return with my lovely wife." I spoke.

"How dare thou fib to us!" Luna yelled at me.

"I never lied. I just hid this from you." After many great numbers of my forces had entered, a royal guard would go in to lead them, already sounds of battle were coming from the portal.

"But...I thought..." Cadence looked quite broken as she spoke her words.

"Yes, it was partly for love, but also partly for my deep hatred of holy forces. Celestia will be the last holy being alive." I spoke, waiting and waiting for my forces to finish entering.

After a while, my forces stopped entering, the roof soon being lifted with my great dark grip, moving every brick and structural piece aside neatly piling them in the room. My dragons and other skeletal creatures began to enter the portal, providing our second main offense in the last battle of the war.

"This time...none of them will live." I spoke walking to the portal.

A wall of yellow light blocked me and I traced it's energy supply back to its source.

"Celestia, do not try to stop me, you WILL regret it."

"I must not allow you to go through that portal, even if Cadence approves of it."

"You foolish horse." I disappeared in black mist, reappearing behind her, gripping her horn and applying excessive amounts of pressure, causing her a lot of pain.

While doing so, I snapped each one of her limbs and fractured them as much as I desired, damaging even her wings. I let go of her horn, leaving her as a crumpled mess on the floor. I once again walked to the portal and entered.


Author's Note

For the next chapter, I am going to need some help with a specific scene dealing with a major problem in all of this, so if you would like to help me with it, please PM me.

I'll be pumping out chapters once more.
