Nightmare kicked down a large portion of the wall onto a civilian, resulting in a loud squishing sound bouncing off the solid items. To many watching, this was the most horrifying thing to ever behold. Others saw the massive monster as a God who deemed each pony as sin to it's will.

"We have to hold it before that thing breaches any further in Canterlot! Hold the line!"

"It's coming this way!"

"Hold steady!"

Nightmare saw this feeble line of flesh, with a terrible roar the monster soared into the air with tremendous force, coming down atop the lead guard's back. The blood sprayed in all directions, covering any and all nearby with the crimson fluid.

"The blood is intoxicating isn't it?" The blue demon laughed with a malevolent voice ringing loudly. The right hand swung at a stunned guard's head, blood shot into the air as a fountain with water. But Nightmare was only beginning to start his bloody path, whatever was in the Azure Knight's way very soon would be nothing more than a stain on the walls. His power now channelled into his demonic red blade, flames licked and bidded their time for too long, Nightmare shot the fire to terrified civilians.

They bolted to and fro seeking to extinguish the flames that were consuming their flesh and bones, they caused more chaos than good, setting homes ablaze along with other businesses and carts. The scene was utter madness as the fires of hell jumped to new items, all the while giving the hulking monster a devilish glow.

"This is only the beginning of the end!"

Celestia stomped her hoof in anger that such a savage beast was lose in her city, tearing it to bits before her very eyes. Fires shot sky wards from random blocks of Canterlot, but she couldn't see the culprit of this attack.

"We have to go princess, it isn't safe here!" A guard called to the solar goddess, who fumed over the situation.

"Take the bearers of the Elements and my sister and leave Canterlot, you will meet me at Manehatten in five hours... I will stop this creature." Her eyes glowed with a rage that burned for justice, even her body shook with anger. The guard stood at the door before nodding to his princess. "Whatever you are I will make you pay for what you have done!"

Celestia could feel something new creeping into her mind, a small tingling sensation that grew. It grew louder after every second until it became a voice.

"Celestia, you seek justice for your people... you must wield me."

"Who are you?"

"I am Soul Calibur, the sword that was brought to you earlier is my body and I am it's will, I am Elysium."

"Elysium? What must I do?"

"Wield the sword against Nightmare!" Celestia turned to the weapon that lay upon her table, it's color now shown a beautifully calming blue. Her magic took hold of the grand weapon, it felt as if this was a piece of her returning. The blade humed with power to complete the task before it, destroy this Nightmare. Celestia shot out of the window with haste, taking the great sword with her to finish the beast.

As she flew over the city of Canterlot the smell of death became too great for her, forcing the princess to land to continue her search. The bodies of ponies brought new feelings of anger towards this creature called Nightmare, it would pay for this attack dearly. But as luck would have it she found Nightmare stalking a filly with it's blood red weapon poised to strike.

"The end is near little soul, nothing can halt me!"

"Beast! I shall run you into the very depths of hell!" The sudden voice of confrontation caused the blue demon to turn towards Celestia, the bright red eyes locked onto her with a rage unknown to any creature. "We will cut you down and bring justice upon you for your actions!"

"I knew you would return Elysium, you will suffer the most! I will force you to see these souls feed my blade, and then yours will be mine." The dual voice ripped through the air with a deeply chilling demonic laugh following. Celestia didn't care for this beast in the slightest, as soon as it began to laugh she struck. The flat of the sword caught the beast's head, sending Nightmare flying into a home.

"Run little filly!" The filly didn't have to be told twice as she hurried down the ablaze street.

"You've only prolonged the inevitable, the destruction will never stop. Hell is waiting Elysium, you will soon see it's fires!" Nightmare tackled Celestia, his massive hand grabbed her hair and sent her into a wall with a flick. "Death is your fate!"

The twisted hand took Celestia's wings in a unforgiving grip, holding her to his head. She looked deeply into his fiery eyes, her head made contact with his forcing the hand to let go. Her blade smashed into his left leg with a sick crunch, Nightmare howled in pain as the holy blade cut deeply.

"Nightmare! This is your end!" Celestia screamed as she lifted Soul Calibur over her head, yet Nightmare kicked out her legs. He was fast enough to block the falling blade with his own and take hold of Celestia, dark energy pulsed throughout his form as a sphere shot her away from him.

Luna and the bearers of the Elements sat in the carriage as it flew over the city or what was left of it. She asked the guards if they had seen Celestia, only one said she stayed to fight whatever plagued their city. In that instant Luna felt a flurry of emotions run through her body: anger, shock, sadness, and regret she couldn't help. As the carriage reached the city's outer wall Luna saw for the first time the beast that caused all of this torment.

"Hey Princess Celestia is fighting it!" Twilight called out as she peered down at the scene below. Each of the girls and Luna peeked down to see Celestia locked in combat with something not of this world, sparks flashed between the blades as they struck each other. Luna couldn't help but watch her sister battle the monster that caused the devastation of the city, her eyes widened as the two Titans clashed again.
