Legacy of the Kirin

Celestia stands on the railing of one of her castle's towers as a massive storm rages on. She notices how the winds are howling as if in fear while the castle ground's and the giant magical shields groan and creak as if some unseen force is trying to move them all at once. She sighs with a heavy heart as the skies are stuck in a never ending black cloud while rainbow lightning flashes down like arrows and thunder roars.

She starts to feel the magic in the air heat up, not that it would do much, and "boil". Rain pours down all over Equestria and a few other neighboring countries.

Oh the annoying meetings she has been forced into doing, but, somewhere worse is happening.

She turns and looks towards her statue garden, and sighs as Discord's statue, has a small crack just over his chest. His proud look seemingly taunting her about the inevitable.

But.

That doesn't mean she can't slow his release down, even if it is ever so slightly, to ensure that Sombra is stopped and the Elements of Harmony return to their homes. Before it is too late.

======================================================

CRYSTAL EMPIRE

Sombra dodges magical bullets as Fate's left arm looks like a blur as bullets fly and a manic smile on her face with one eye wide while the other being narrowed. Her sword is covered in rainbow flames as she swings it around by it's white chain dangling at the bottom of the hilt sending out crescent shaped flames that explode into massive energy sphere or beams. Fate grins wildly as she gives chase after the fleeing mad king.

Light and the others stare as this woman plays a painful version of "tag" with a fearful Sombra. Dusk shivers with a huge grin on his lips and gripping his scythe in anticipation.

'I soooo gotta fight that!' He thinks to himself. Twilight stares in awe as this woman chases around the same villain that they had been trying to hard to defeat. She sighs with a small smile.

'We might actually win this...' Twilight thinks to herself as she watches Fate kick Sombra around like he were a ragdoll. She then notes how bloodthirsty her eyes look as she does so. She then spin kicks Sombra into the air before chasing after the man, her tails staying strait as she gives chase. Her wings move around fluently as she chases after he king with a wide smile on her face. Sombra's eyes widen before gaining a dark grin.

He spins around through the air and a massive black and red bubble forms around him as black and red flames dance around the bubble before making a bladed burning tornado. Fate stops herself from attacking then and there, but decides to let her plaything power himself up before she rips his beating heart from his chest. She watches as the dome and burning tornado grow larger and larger.

She moves back from how much power the two things are radiating. She feels a massive pressure press down upon her form. She grins in excitement as Sombra's power just keeps growing and growing until it stops at her own level of power, or at least from what she herself is allowing to come out. The tornado dies instantly, and the bubble starts to crack, and a piece falls from it. The inside of the bubble is far too dark for her to see, but she knows something is not right.

'This power is far to powerful for any normal mortal to have... What is this'? She questions to herself. A black energy tendril shoots out of the strangely cut hole and impales itself into Fate's abdomen. She grunts in pain and surprise, though mostly surprise, and she can feel some of her power being sucked into the bubble before severing the tendril, which disintegrated into nothing after that moment. She growls anger before shock shows on her face as Sombra's power rises far beyond what he should have been capable of.

The bubble gains new cracks all over it before a pair of red and green eyes stare out at her, and a deep rumbling chuckling bounds across the sky. Her eyes widen as the bubble shatters, and black rain with red outlining pours down from the sky, obscuring her vision.

=====================================================

The strange black rain with red outlining pours down into the cavern where Light and the others are at. Manda hisses in fury before coiling up like a slinky.

"Climb on!" He orders. Light and the others seem to get what he plans on doing, and quickly get atop of the Serpent King's massively wide head. Mana then expands and shoots out of the cavern and lands onto a few house as ladders made of blue crystal slam along the edges and the Crystal Ponies quickly getaway from the Faust forsaken hole. They crowd around their heroes, and Manda, before staring at the massive destruction of their home, the empire.

Many dropped to their knees in despair, many cried out in anguish and fury and hatred, though many were out of sadness, towards Sombra and damning them from the rest of the world.

But the strange rain is accompanied by a thunderous boom and glass shattering entering their ears.

All look up in awe as what is left of the bubble either shatters and vanishes, or, becomes the rain. However, as the bubble completely vanishes, a lone winged figure floats high above the air as it's wings spread out wider than any thought possible for something so small looking.

They then grow surprised as said figure vanishes and Fate is then slammed into the hole and a tower of dust, dirt and energy water rises into the air. The group stares wide eyed as their "savior" was just put down. Despair fills their hearts as a bat-winged Sombra floats before them with a sardonic grin plastered on his face.

"Now do you see who futile it is to fight me?! GIVE UP!! And I may spare your pathetic lives!" Sombra bellows out. Twilight takes a step forward, but is knocked aside by Sombra's massive left wing, sending her into a building, which collapses on top of her. His grin turns into a smirk as he looks back at the rest of the group. "PATHETIC!" He bellows.

"Enough!" Dusk roars out as he swings his scythe downward at Sombra's neck, but is blocked by his left wing, which flicks the blade away with the rim, sending sparks into the air. He spins in the air before swinging his scythe around, sending out black flams with purple outlining down towards the mad winged king. Sombra scoffs at this and his wing bats the flames away as if it were a simple gnat.

Dusk stares wide eyed as his attack, which would have wounded Spirit for a while, was so easily batted away like the common housefly. His blood began to boil and he sends out more of those flames and molds them into tornado's. The attacks raged towards Sombra. The power they were exerting was strong, even Light had to give Dusk credit on how powerful he was, but it proved to be fruitless as Sombra batted them away with a singe gust of wind.

Dusk growls in anger as his attacks are doing nothing. But what really angers him, is how he is weaker than Sombra. In truth, they aren't even on the same level of power, Sombra being the more powerful one.

He grips his scythe tighter and charges at the mad king. Sombra gains a grim grin as he meets the Death Dragon-Son halfway and backhands him into the crystalline ground before glowing bright blood red throwing daggers form in his hands. He twirls in the air as the daggers rain down upon the Dragon-Son, resulting in a chain reaction of explosions. When the explosions stop, they stare as Dusk sits on his knees as his cloak is partly destroyed and his skeletal frame showing, his right socket and part of his skull is missing, while a long crack goes across the left side of his skull.

He pants heavily before his body starts to heal and the cloak begins to reform. Sombra has a smug look on his face before multiple bright blood red glowing spears form around him, floating in groups of three's. He raises his right hand and snaps his fingers. Time seems to slow as the spears jet down at Dusk, and the others. Their glow shines across the ground as lightning flashes, helping to add the eerie look to Sombra's power.

He looks completely calm with his smug look, now becoming a smug smirk, as he watches the insects before him about to disappear. However, a bright blue light shines before a blue beam slams into the spears, completely devouring them as the beam continues until it just evaporates into the air. All heads turn and eyes grow wide at the figure floating before them.

==============================================================

MINUTES EARLIER

Fate lays at the bottom of this energy rain as well as being inside the crystalline earth. Her eyes closed as she stays still, her body in a rest like state as her form is weighed down by the heavy pressure above her. She mentally sighs.

'Damn it... How could I had been so foolish as to let him steal some of my energy... The FUCK is wrong with ME!?' She roars mentally. A soft male laugh is heard.

But it wasn't mocking like hers had been towards Spirit.

It was sad.

Pained even.

She mentally sighs, not sure how to react to this sort of thing.

'What is it, Spirit?' She mentally asks. The laughter dies down ever so slightly. 'Well?'

"Did it ever comes across that we needed to just suck it up and work together? Fate? That we were meant to work together, live together and even enjoy our lives?" Spirit asks.

No. But she wasn't about to say that, no intentionally that is.

'Your point being, what? Did you expect me? To bow down to you?' She asks. She feels Spirit shake his head and hears him sigh.

"That's not what I meant, Fate. I meant that we should have been working together, as one, from the very beginning. Even if I was nothing but a boy back then." Spirit says with a sad tone. Fate internally grins.

'Your still the same little boy that I have watched over. To me, Spirit, you are still just that, a boy.' She thinks. She feels Spirit's shoulders sump a little bit, and she smiles. 'But your MY boy. Alright, I'll try this your way, for once. What must I do?' She thinks.

"Giving back my body would be nice. But, if you really do get bored being stuck in here, how about asking politely instead of giving that witch laugh, and forcefully taking over, and I'll let you take control, alright?" He asks.

'...fine.' Fate sighs out before a flash of white light forms around her body. 'But just so you know, I am willing to help give you my powers, however, many of my powers have not been use in a VERY lone time, but they will come back, in time that is.' She thinks.

"Alright, now then. Lets get this party started!!!" He roars as the light dies and his body is returned to normal. He grips his kusanagi blade and dagger before they start to change.

'The hell?'

"I've made a change to OUR arsenal. Hope you like them~" Fate says mentally with a seductive tone.

The dagger turns into what looks like a triple-barreled pistol. The gun however, looks like a mix between a revolver and desert eagle, with the triple-barrels. The kusanagi turns into long thin double-barreled gun sword. The blade is as lone as his arm is, the grip is now a motorcycle handle turned into a hilt with the trigger just above it where the guard looks to be the break on a motorcycle, but wide enough to cover the wielders hands, as the barrels sit on either side of the blade about five inches long and two inches wide.

He grins both visibly and mentally before rising to the top of the energy water and out of the pit. He floats in the air as two large wings jet out of his back, making black blood rain down onto the "water" below in the pit, which promptly evaporated into strange red steam. He raises his pistol and aims at Sombra's direction, but stops and decides to wait to see how much damage he can cause with those glowing throwing knives.

Needless to say, he was impressed.

The explosions seemed to be endless, but when they had stopped he saw his friend on his knees missing bits and pieces of his skull head, his cloak was mostly gone, not that it mattered as it all regrew.

However, he drew the line when Sombra conjured up hundreds of glowing spears. He watches as the mad king snaps his fingers and the spears dive down at his friends and lover.

He re-raises his pistol and charges up his powers as small thin streaks of light ignite around the barrel as a small blue ball forms at the tip. The streams are around a foot each. The streams all move and point forwards before the blue ball expands and the streams move out. He releases the trigger and the ball erupts into a massive blue beam that destroys the spears and continues until evaporating into the air.

He grins at his new powers, but he feels more pain course through his back as his wings split into fours, he notes how the upper wings are feathered and the lower are much, much smaller and are bat-like. He then notices how his tail has been doubled in length and incredibly thin, about two finger wide, as a arrowhead point sits on the tip. His horns change into a crown of horns as his hair becomes longer and waves around due to the power he just exerted.

He watches as Sombra and the others down below turn and face him with shock ever present on their faces. He grins.

=================================================================

PRESENT TIME

Light stares at her lover as he floats in the air with his wings spread out for all to see. His feathered wings black as night while his smaller bat wings white as cloud. His hair is a dark chocolaty brown as it hangs down to his tail, his new weapons, pistols, glint in the light as his eyes are no longer slit, but normal grey as his chin has a bit of stubble to it. His skin is tanned and his body, although lengthy, is muscled and fit as his hand grip the handle and hilt of his weapons.

His cloths look strange, as he has white pants with grey tuffs on the bottom, his shirt is a button up one that is bright red with a obsidian black coat over it with grey fur cuffs around the wrist of the sleeves, and around the trims as well. His feet are covered by black boots, almost like hunters boots, as his tail lashes about, as his wings fold up and seemingly vanish, as his horns are shaped like a crown, as if he were royalty.

He moves his gun-sword up onto his right shoulder and gains a bored and tired expression as he stands there making ripples rip through the air and a strange ringing sound to follow suit.

"Let us end this, pony." He says tiredly. Sombra growls before pointing a finger out at Spirit as a black cross with red outlining forms into a small ball of energy before erupting into a massive beam that flies out at Spirit who sighs in boredom and backhands the beam with his smaller pistol as if it were a fly. "Was that all?" He asks before vanishing and reappearing behind Sombra, who's shoulders promptly explode into fountains of blood.

The group down below stares in awe as Sombra's shoulder are cleaved open and his wings sliced off by Spirit's unmoving form. Manda has a proud look on his face as he stares up at his friend and master, Spirit.

"He seems to have made a pact with Fate." He hisses out happily. Light stares at the Serpent King with wide eyes before looking back at her lover, she then feels a booming pressure that presses every down to the ground as gusts of wind rage from the spot Spirit had been standing before.

'A backlash!? But how could he move THAT fast!?' Sombra thinks in awe as his body heals and his wings regrow. He moves backwards away from Spirit's kick which causes a few ripples to more around through the air, a shockwave knocks Sombra around through the sky before he stops himself by spreading his large wings. His hair waves around through the air before laying still against his back.

He scowls at Spirit who has a bored look on his race while excitement flashes across his face. Spirit them vanishes before Sombra is knocked across the sky by the after image of Spirit's kick before it dissipates and he reappears above Sombra and yawns.

"This is so tiresome, how could you have knocked Fate around like that if you can't even defend yourself from me?" Spirit asks with a bored tone. He then dodges a bright red glowing sword that was just inches from his face. Spirit looks down at Sombra as the king conjures a spear.

"Let's see you handle...THIS!!" Sombra roars out as he stabs the glowing spear into the ground. Spirit's eyes widen as the deep red glow shines before a bright white and then a massive explosion that consumes him and Sombra. Light and the others watch as a massive red and black dome rises into the sky before exploding into a large mushroom cloud of smoke, as the shockwaves rocket across the entire area sending everything in a ten mile radius crushed or thrown around.

Manda is quick to coil around the larger group to protect them from the resulting black, not that it did too much damage to his nearly indestructible scales, as the dust cloud passes over them. Manda then proceeds to uncoil quickly and sends his own blast of air creating a small tornado to combat the dust floating around in the air. He looks towards the rising smoke and feels two massive energy levels still standing there, though one is mostly gone now.

Light rises to her feet and stares at the destruction of these two beings have managed to cause, though not knowing that it was Sombra that caused the explosion, and is utterly amazed.

"Incredible...." Cadance gasps out in awe. "So much power, I don't think even I could do this, not without breaking the mortal limit... But this? This is just insane!" She says in awe. Shining Armor stares at the destruction.

"But incredibly dangerous... Let's just be glad that Lord Spirit is on OUR side, no?" He chuckles out nervously. Many heads were nodding while the Crystal Ponies stared in fear, and had fearful minds of this "Lord Spirit". They all collectively shudder before staring as Sombra is casted out of the smoking crater and onto the ground before them. Light spins her trident and presses it at his through while Dusk has his scythe's blade placed underneath the trident.

"You lost, Sombra." Light hisses out darkly. Sombra's eyes remain closed as his form is unmoving, but he keeps breathing.

"Is that so?" He chuckles out as his eyes snap open, and the two are sent flying back before being impaled to the ground by black tendrils. Light gasps as the tendril pierces her right shoulder, while Dusk has the other tendril piercing his chest. The two start to feel their energies being drained, and they cry out in pain.

The tendrils are then cut just before the energies can go into Sombra's mostly destroyed body.

"Damn it...!" Sombra mutters out as he stares up at Spirit, who doesn't have a single scratch on his form, look down at him with a tired look.

"Your finished." Spirit says with a bored tone, but his eyes show surprise as Sombra starts to cackle madly. His energy level spikes as red and black sparks flare his body as it begins to regenerate.

"It would seem that I had misjudged you power, Spirit." Sombra chuckles out before vanishing and reappearing high in the sky. "Let us end this once and for all! Here! Feel DESPAIR!!! Grovel in FEAR!!!! THIS IS THE POWER OF HAAATRED!!!!!!!" Sombra booms out as his body is incased by a massive bubble roughly three times the size of his old Crystal Castle, even though the bubble only signified his ever growing power. The bubble becomes larger and larger before it soon became so massive that it turns into a dome that goes into the black raging storm clouds.

The groups stare in fear as despair grips their hearts and forces their spirit's to dwindle to nothingness. Spirit stares at the dome. It then begins to twitch before breaking apart and becoming more of that god awful magical rain.

Dusk growls before holding his scythe forwards.

"SPIRIT!!" Dusk booms out. Spirit looks at him. "I am joining this fight! I have something to protect!!!" He booms out once more. Spirit nods his head before snapping his fingers. The groups, save for the Cadence, Manda, Twilight, and Light as well as himself, are sent far away from the battlefield.

=====================================================

OUTSIDE THE BATTLEFIELD

"What the hay just happened!?" Rainbow Dash exclaims.

"Ah dunno, but wha'ever it was, Ah don' think Spirit would send us away jus' for th' heck oh it. Wha
ever it is but it must be somethin' bad if'n he had to send us away like he did." Applejack says.

"I must agree with you, Applejack. He even placed us someplace CLEAN for once." Rarity says as she mock faints into Spike's arms, which he promptly kisses her for. Dash blanches before huffing.

"Fine! But we need a way to watch the-,"

Out of nowhere a magical screen forms before everypony large enough for all of them to see and hear what exactly is going on down at the battlefield.

"- battle... Huh..." She says with a dazed look before shaking her head and turning her attention to the screen, along with everypony else.

======================================================

BATTLEFIELD

Dusk's scythe glows bright purple as his power becomes visible and forms into a towering pillar the size of Sombra's dome was. The pillar widens to be just as wide, if not wider, as ravenous roaring is heard coming from the tower, as well as from what remains from Sombra's dome, as the two powers spike beyond what was thought possible.

Cadence closes her eyes as to shield them from the massive gusts of wind coming off of the two. Light's hair is tossed around as she holds up a hand to shield her own eyes. Manda stands his ground as he releases his own power which isn't as flashy, but it does grant him arms and legs. He stabs his talon's into the ground while digging his claws into the ground to make sure that he is not blown away.

Twilight is forced to return to her pony form and is send barreling into Manda, along with Cadence, who catches them and keeps them safe with ease. Spirit stands stock still, though his legs are bend from the slight pressure, as his hair is tossed around and his jacket flaps in the wind like a cape, much like how his hair is right now. He watches with calm and cold eyes as the two powers reach their marks and then release themselves from their "prisons".

Dusk's pillar shatters and becomes rain as something new takes his place. The rain pours down onto a massively tall dragon with skeletal parts, and black and purple scales, even though it is quite literally skin and bones, as purple flames sit in the empty sockets as it's claws are obsidian black. The tail is rigged and skeletal as it is nothing but skin and bones.

The fangs are sickly yellow as it's large leathery wings are riddled with holes, gashes and tears. Two large ram-like-horns the color of bone white sit atop of it's head as black fur-like-fire rages from each of it's joints.

The giant beast stands before them like a guard as he breaths out, everything in front of it starts to rot and die away before becoming nothing but ash. The two balls of flame twitch as it looks at Twilight and the others from the corner of it's eye. Twilight stares up at the balls of flame before blushing.

'Is he trying to protect me? But...we haven't known each other THAT long... Maybe I should ask Spirit...' Twilight thinks and gives Spirit a look. Spirit gains a knowing smile.

"It is in Dragon-Son blood to connect to those who show us kindness and acceptance. It might not be how you ponies do things, but it's how WE do things. Seems you caught Death's eyes. When we win this, will you claim him?" Spirit says. Twilight sighs before gaining a small smile and nods her head lightly.

"Y- Yes!" She exclaims. A deep rumbling is heard and she looks up at the Dusk to see a skeletal smile on his face.

"He is happy. Good, he should be." Spirit says with a small and knowing smile before looking back at where Sombra is. "Now, WE FIGHT!!" He roars out. Dusk looks forward and releases an ear piercing roar before charging forwards. He bounds towards the still shattering dome, but is stopped as a thin red beam blasts through his left shoulder and sends the massive Death Dragon onto the ground before the group.

The dome remains shatter to reveal a massive black dragon with a thin long red horn pointing forwards. Two massive leathery wings with black fur moving down from it's mane that makes a trail all the way down to the tip of it's tail. The wings are riddled with holds, gashes and tears, much like Dusk's own pair of wings. The beasts neck is incredibly long, as it the rest of it's body, as it's jaws are squared as blood red electricity crackles around it's form.

It's eyes are bright red with green and purple mist rising from the edges of them. Silver spikes and spines line up along the shoulders and chin as well. Cuffs are around the base of the neck, wrists, ankles, and the base of the tail with spikes there as well. The tip of the tail has a secondary horn on it as it's blacker than night mane with blood red highlights wave around through the air.

It then roars with massive jagged fangs that are the size of spears, the same size as Dusk's own fangs. It stomps towards Dusk and snaps at him, but Dusk jumps over Sombra and tail whips the kind turned dragon in the back, leaving a gash just below the wings. Sombra roars before turning like a snake and chomping down onto the Death Dragon's shoulder, which had healed fully, and swings the smaller creature around before flinging him into a remaining building a few miles away.

Dusk growls as acidic drool melts the ground around his feet. He then sucks in air as his breast plate move outward before decompressing as a stream of black and purple fire slams into Sombra's side, making him roar in pain, and into the ground. Manda hisses out his own roar as he lashes at Sombra, pulling off chunks of his body. Sombra growls and snaps at Manda, who dodges and burrows into the ground and up behind the king.

Manda then lunges and sinks his fangs deep into Sombra's hind leg before moving back down into the ground before the mad king could barbecue him into ashes. Dusk bounds towards Sombra and releases a wailing roar as he claws Sombra's muzzle before biting at his throat. Sombra growls before knocking the smaller Dragon away before chomping down onto Dusk's side and attempts to rip a chunk out of the Death Dragon.

That is, if he hadn't been stopped by Manda, who head-butt's Sombra away before digging his fangs deep into his side. Sombra roars in pain before snapping his jaws at the Serpent King feverously. Manda dodges with expert timing before slithering beneath Sombra and burrowing directly under the king before connecting multiple tunnels. The tunnels start to collapse and Sombra's left claw is stuck in the ground before the rest of him is as well.

Sombra lashes and roars in anger and fury as he spouts out flames before his muzzle is pinned down by Dusk who breaths his Death Fire down onto Sombra's body. But this doesn't last long as Sombra soon becomes free and claws Dusk's chest before latching his jaws onto his shoulder blade before throwing him onto the ground, making the crystalline earth crack and shatter. He growls as he whips around and backhands Manda into the air and onto the remnants of his old castle.

Sombra releases a eardrum breaking roar as thunder booms and lightning flashes, rain pours down as Sombra looks at Cadence and Twilight with a hunger in his eyes and charges at the two. Cadence fires a cerulean beam of light that manages to clip Sombra's shoulder, not that it matter as it healed, while Twilight fires lavender beams of magic that actually manage to stun him for a few moments before he goes after them once again.

He rears his head up before lunging downward with his jaws wide open. Twilight and Cadence in an act of despair and terror close their eyes and hug each other. They wait for their turn to meet their ends.

========================================================

OUTSIDE THE BATTLEFIELD

The large mass of ponies watch the screen as Manda and Dusk duke it out with Sombra, who looks to be losing. Dash whoops and does an aerial backflip.

"Awe YEAH! That's what I'm talking about!!" She exclaims. "Did you see those sick moves?! Or how Dusk tore into Sombra's chest and shoulder!? Or when Manda sunk his deadly and AWESOME fangs into his body!? Or! Or! Or when Manda was digging those tunnels!? That was sooooo COOOOL!" Dash whoops out.

"I must agree, darling, that it was indeed "cool". But all that damage looks almost un-repairable to me..." Rarity chimes in just as Dusk is spewing his Death Fire onto Sombra's body.

"Still, you hav'ta agree tha' it was perty cool, wadn't it?" Applejack asks. Rarity nods her head and goes to speak but goes quiet and wide eyed as Dusk is thrown into the ground and Manda is sent flying.

"Oh NO!" Pinkie Pie exclaims loudly. All heads go back to the screen and everypony gasps as they watch as Sombra prepares to eat Twilight and Cadence, after the two Alicorn's tried to "stop" him. However, they then gasp again as Sombra is stopped by Manda, who coils around Sombra's throat before managing to pull the mad king away and onto his side.

"Go Manda! GO!!" Rarity exclaims. "KICK HIS &%^*#@! PLOT!!!!" She roars out. All eyes stare at her. "What?" She asks.

"...Have I ever told you how much I love you?" Spike asks.

"Almost every day." Rarity says sweetly.

Spike then grabs Rarity and kisses her deeply.

"I fucking love you!!" He exclaims with a wide smile. Rarity playfully bats his snout gently.

"Now now! Save that for the bedroom, my BIG Spikey Wikey~" She says with a slightly husky voice. It was that Flutter Shy burst into a fit of giggles, completely losing her shit while everypony else stared at the three of them as if they had become a Hydra.

"Righ'... Let's just keep watching th' battle..." Applejack states with an uneasiness to her tone of voice.

"Right." Dash deadpans before looking back at the floating screen.

====================================================

BATTLEFIELD

Manda sends Sombra onto his side before burrowing back into the earth right as Dusk lands atop of Sombra sending out a massive shockwave that forms a crater around them. He spreads his wings and takes to the skies right as Manda launches out of the earth and breaths a stream of acid that lands onto Sombra's side. He roars in pain and anger before batting Manda aside and into the wall before pinning the giant the Serpent there as he charges up a blood red sphere that forms at the base of his throat.

"FAREWELL MANDA! EX-KING OF THE SERPENTS!!" Sombra roars out with a deeper and waving sort of voice as the sphere rises slowly up and starts to leak thin beams of light. Manda's eyes widen before he growls and he releases his arms and legs from his spell and slices off Sombra's claw. He roars in pain as Manda's legs and arms retract into his body before burrowing back into the earth.

Sombra points his head down at the hole and prepares to fire, but Dusk lands onto his back and holds his jaws shut. Sombra cancels the attack before stabbing his tail-tip into Dusk's side and flings him out of the crater. Dusk lands just before Cadence and Twilight, who are being held still by a calm Spirit.

"Dusk!!" Twilight screams out. "Stay down!! PLEASE!!!" She begs him. Dusk looks at Twilight with what looks to be a sad one. She hears Spirit sigh.

"He can't. He wants to protect his mate. You, Twilight Sparkle. He won't stop fighting till he is killed, which is highly unlikely, or until you are killed, again that is highly unlikely, or until Sombra is dead, now THAT will definitely happen! But, he won't stop fighting." Spirit says sadly. Light snorts softly.

"It's true. We Dragon-Son's protect our mates till the bitter end. Only till we are abandoned, do we truly lose our mates." She explains to Twilight. The young Alicorn sighs with a heavy heart before looking back up at Dusk with a serious expression as tears roll down her cheeks.

"Come back to me... Please... Don't die..." Twilight begs Dusk softly. Dusk nods his head before rising up to his feet and charges at Sombra and latches onto his neck before ripping a chunk out of the mad king.

"Spirit..." Light says sadly. "We need to help..." She states. Spirit nods his head lightly.

"Yes, we do." He says before handing the ponies over to Light. "Look after them. I'm going to kill this bastard." He growls out before sprinting towards the multiple giants fighting. He summons his weapons and fires three small blue sphere that explode onto Sombra's back before swinging his "sword" sending out a wave of blue energy that slices into his side. Sombra howls in pain before Manda snaps at his shoulder, but is tossed away. His claw reforms before chasing after Dusk.

Spirit jumps into the air leaving behind an air trail before spreading his wings and booming forward going past Mach 2. He lands onto Sombra's back making the great beast slam into the ground. Spirit raises his "sword" into the air pointing downward before impaling it into the center of his back, causing Sombra to release a wailing roar of pain to rocket across the skies. The patches of fur and flames along Sombra's body extend and become tendrils as they stab at Spirit, who flies into the air with the tendrils chasing after him with fever.

He points both guns at them and rapid fired spheres and beams down. The tendrils move around on their own in attempts to dodge, though many did not make it. They then circle around Spirit and prepare to skewer him, but he teleports down onto Sombra's back and starts hacking and slashing at the flesh. Manda bursts from the ground and bites down onto Sombra's neck while Dusk bounds up and interlocks Sombra's claws with his own.

Spirit runs up Sombra's back, although shakily, towards his head. Crystal Minions forms from the tendrils and charge Spirit, he then wings his sword around cleaving the Minions into pieces as he moves towards Sombra's horn. He holds his sword out and it splits apart, the gun becomes a larger blade while the sword part morphs into a serrated blade as two rainbow energy chains drop from the bottoms of the hilts and coil around his wrists.

He swings his new blades around by the chains as he sends Crystal Minions around and off of Sombra's moving body. He then slams the blades together and they turn back into his "Gun-Sword". He sprints and fires blue sphere's that detonate in crowds of Minions, blowing them into smithereens. He jumps into the air before throwing his Gun-Sword down. It pierces Sombra's horn. He then aims his pistol at the hilt and fires three bullet sized sphere's that detonate, forcing the Gun-Sword through Sombra's horn, thoroughly breaking it off in the process, before teleporting before Sombra and grabbing his weapon.

He then flies upwards towards Sombra's head, but Sombra's tail slams Spirit into the ground. He coughs before booming away just as Sombra throws Dusk to the ground and ripping Manda off of his neck before throwing him onto a few broken buildings. Dusk rises to his feet and charges Sombra once again, but Sombra growls and impale his claws into Dusk's chest before tossing the Death Dragon away from himself.

Manda hisses out a roar and lunges and manages to bite down onto Sombra's now hornless head and manages to destroy his right eye as well as taking a chunk out of the head before burrowing down into the earth once again. Sombra releases a wailing roar of pain, but is silenced as a now healed Dusk claws Sombra's throat and breaths his Death Fire at the wound. Sombra snarls as he pins Dusk down onto the ground.

Spirit sprits towards the two Dragon's and jumps while his sword ignites into bright rainbow flames. He then swings his sword downwards, sending out a massive wave of rainbow flames that sever Sombra's right arm from his body before sending out another wave that cleaves off his wings. Sombra roars in pain as he writhes in pain. Dusk coughs as he moves away from the destructive waves as they cleave into the earth like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Manda rises from the earth and helps Dusk move away and towards Twilight, Cadence and Light. Dusk's form is covered in a bright white light as he goes into his human form before dropping onto Manda's head gently. The Serpent King places Dusk down gently as he bleeds out.

"We have to stop the bleeding!" Cadence exclaims as she places wards around Dusk's form. Light holds her hands out before her and the rain forms a giant water dome over Dusk as he heals as the water glows bright green. Twilight's eyes are wide with tears in them before gaining a serious expression and tapping into her magic she uses all manor of healing spells onto Dusk as many times as she can.

Minutes pass and the three arepanting heavily as Dusk's wounds just keep on re-opening.

"Damn it!!" Light exclaims. "Why isn't he being healed!?" She roars out. Manda stares before he sighs.

"It seems his body has taken too much damage. His Dragon is trying to gain access for a new one for her Dragon-Son." He says. Twilight looks up at Manda.

"What if we were to change is molecular structure intom something that wasn't human?" She asks.

Manda gains a thoughtful expression before nodding his head. "Yes, that will indeed work, as his Dragon is part of his soul, and would not be damaged, so he would still have his abilities. And depending on what race you make him to be, they'll either become stronger, or weaker." He explains.

Twilight nods her head and looks at Cadence.

"Let's make him into an Alicorn." She begs. Cadence gains a weary look.

"I don't think You and I have that much power though Twilight..." She says.

"No. You don't." Light says grimly. "But I do." She states with a small smile as her hands glow bright blue with a holy white tint to it as well. Cadence's horn ignites bright cerulean while Twilight's ignite into bright lavender. Manda's eyes glow in a sickly green as he four sit around Dusk's prone form. His body starts to float into the air as a white light forms around him as his form starts to change.

His wings become larger while he himself also becomes larger. His face becomes elongated as his tail becomes longer and more bone-like while his shoes before hooves and his hands before hooves as well. His neck becomes elongated while his hair becomes a mane and his cloths start to morph into a large black cloak.

When the light dies, they stare at a new Dusk. He's taller than Celestia by a couple feet as his wings are massive and resemble his Dragon form's wings. His tail is long and wide as it is skeletal with hook like claw at the tip. His hooves are black as night as his fur is dark silver as a cloak sits atop of it. His cutie mark is that of a scythe and skull over a graveyard. His horn is sharp and curved like a scythe's blade while his eyes are similar to his Dragon form's ones.

The sclera is pitch black, he iris is dark purple while the pupil is slit and flame white. His teeth are sharp and fang-like. His mane is as long as Luna's was, the color is moon gravestone grey. He lands onto his hooves and groans.

"Ugh... My head..." He groans out. He cracks open an eye and looks down at his hoof. He blinks before shrugging. "I've been in weirder situations before this." He says nonchalantly. He is then tackled by a lavender blur as he sprawls out onto his back. He feels something wet press up against his chest and he looks down. "Twilight?" He asks with a slight blush.

"I thought I lost you before I even got to have you..." She sniffs out. Dusk smiles softly as he lifts her head up.

"Your not going to lose me, never again." He tells her softly as he leans in and kisses her gently. Their eyes close and the two savor this moment, but it I cut rather shortly as Sombra roars and collapses onto the ground and returns back to his humanoid form. Dusk growls but is stopped by Light as she points at the crawling away Sombra as Spirit calmly walks towards him.

"DAMN IT!!" He roars out as he tries to get away as his legs and left arm stop trying to reform. "HOW COULD I LOSE TO YOU!?!?" He roars out at the calm Spirit.

"Because you gave up to Hatred, just as Discord had given up to Madness." Spirit tells him with a even tone. "You lost your way and now you must pay for it. Every sin you committed, every crime you ever made, every power you ever stole. This is your judgment day, Sombra!" He states firmly.

"Tch.... Such meaningless words!! Power is EVERYTHING!! ONE CANNOT PURGE HATRED FROM THE WORLD!!! I WILL return, and when I do, I'll end your miserable existence! ONCE AND FOR ALL!!" He roars out. Spirit stops just before Sombra and stabs the blade of his Gun-Sword through his chest. Sombra gasps for breath as the barrels are mere inches from his head.

"No. You won't. For I cast you down to the deepest pit of Tartarus!" Spirit roars out. Sombra's eyes widen as Spirit pulls the trigger, and blows Sombra's head clean off. "Farewell forever, my old friend." Spirit mutters out before igniting his sword with cerulean flames that make Sombra's body explode and all traces of his evil are cast out from the Crystal Empire. Buildings are repaired as the Crystal Castle rises and the mines are repaired. The Crystal Heart forms before Spirit as the Crystal Ponies, and the others, appear back in the center of the empire looking crystalline.

He smile softly as all the damage done has been repaired and Crystal Empire has been restored back to it's full luster. He turns and kneels before Shining Armor and Cadence.

"All Hail, Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor." He says as his head bows. The other bow to the two as well. "And!" He exclaims as he bows at Dusk. "All Hail Prince Dusk Grave and Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria." He says with a knowing smile. Twilight blushes and looks away as Dusk's wing pulls Twilight up against his side with a smirk on his face.

"Yah damn right!" He jokes. Spirit grins and shakes his head before looking at Light and kissing her gently.

"Welcome back, my King." Manda says with a bow. Spirit smiles up at the Serpent King.

"Ah! Manda! How have you been, my old friend?" He asks. Manda chuckles.

"I have been fine. Sore, but fine." He says before gaining a pleading look. "May me and what remains of my kingdom move into the Everfree Jungle Kingdom, Lord Spirit?" He asks. Spirit nods his head.

"Of course. But first, we should return to Equestria." He says with a smile as he teleports his group, as well as Manda away, leaving the Crystal Empire to celebrate the return of their Prince and Princess, all blissfully unaware of the dangers soon to come.
