Chapter 11: Last Assassination

At Ezio Auditore's Mansion, most of the Wind Assassins have slept on the floor, beds, basement, sofas, chairs and sometimes outside. Others are on the guard dog duty. Twilight and her friends were sleeping as well. Claudia slept on her bed. Malik, La Volpe and Bartolomeo were on duty on watching out of the attacks.

Most of the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders slept on the floor, leaving Twilight putting Spike and Nyx on the bed gently while humming to them in another small room. She smiled before giving them a kiss on their foreheads. She turned and headed straight to her older brother, who is with his wife at Living Room. He gently put his wife on the bed.

"Hey BBBFF," Twilight greeted, "How you're doing?"

Shining Armor yawned gently, "Sleepy... yet worry..." He nuzzled Princess Cadance gently on her head. He sighed, turning to his little sister, "And you?"

Twilight smiled, nuzzling on her older brother's head, "I'll be fine."

"Twiley... Do you think we can get our home back? I'm worried."

"I know, Shining Armor. But I promise you, we will get our home back. I'll make sure those Demon Knights are behind the cage... or get assassinated."

"Yeah... Rodrigo better gets what he deserved for everything he had done... to us and our friends and families."

"Yes..." said Twilight, "By the way Shining Armor, where're Starlight, Ben and Flash?"

Shining Armor shrugged, "Beats me, Twiley. I'm sure Starlight might have one chance in talking with June. But for Ben and Flash, I got the good feeling that they're trying to figure out of what Rodrigo wanted."

"Through Forbidden Knowledge? I don't know..."

"Hey. Have some little leap of faith. Isn't what Wind Assassins do?"

Twilight smiled, "Yeah... I guess you're right... Good night, BBBFF."

Shining Armor smiled, "Good night, sis."

Both Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle hugged together. She gave the kiss on his forehead. He smiled, giving a kiss on her forehead. They nuzzled gently on their heads, before they headed for the bed.

On the outside of Auditore's mansion, Wind Assassinations were on guarding duty, making sure that their only place not to be attacked. June and Starlight were inside of building's room, looking at the moon's light...

June made her first speaking: "Are you okay, Starlight?"

"Yeah," Starlight answered, "So, what's up? Is there something bothering you?"

"Yeah. I was wondering... Do you ever... felt pain and loss when you lose someone you care?"

"Yeah... I had once. Uncle Angel Star and the Explorers of Light... It was very painful and scary for me. I killed them because... Like you said, I was scared - afraid to died. But until I met Twilight and her friends, I'm freed - feel of my emotions and thinking of others. I'm glad to have that. Al-Mualim... he's like a real teacher than just Shadow Dragon... For some reason... I felt like I belong here ever since you introduce me to others, even though I want to become an explorer."

"Hmm... I understand. And to be honest... I was jealous of you."

"Jealous? Why?"

"For starter, you had a family and friends from your home." answered June, making Starlight looked worry and shock. She continued, "I'm not like you. My mother died when she gave birth of me. And my father... he was the Assassin, until one day, he was killed during the mission. And I... I was alone... trying to survive the hardships when I was 5 until the age of 10. But one day, two stallions came. They came for me when I stole some bits and foods. They recruited me as the Assassin."

"So, what do you think of them?"

"Altair... He's like a father and master to me. And for Ezio... he was a great uncle and mentor to me. And for Al-Mualim, he's like a grandfather to me. But for the rest of Wind Assassins, they are my friends, my brothers and sisters. But I have no one to love until you came. When I see your family and friends, I was so jealous, but I learnt to control my emotions. Seeing you being cared and loved by them, it makes you... a complete stallion."

"Not really, June. Not without a love. Throughout my life as Equestrian Eliminator, I don't have love until I'm freed. I met you. You were the first friend I ever had before you became my first love. Thank you, June..."

June smiled, nuzzling on Starlight, before kissing his lip gently and passionately. He kissed her back for the moment. She smiled, "You're welcome. Ready for the next round before the battle? I don't want to forget this moment."

Starlight smiled, "Be my guess..."

Starlight and June hugged and nuzzled on their heads and bodies, before they kissed on their lips gently and passionately. Here they go again.

At the Auditore's Garden, Twilight came out from the mansion. She spotted and found Ben and Flash were talking, near to the pond.

"Ben... I'm not sure if that's the best idea we had," Flash said in his concern, shaking his head, "Using the Forbidden Knowledge to find what will happen in the future. It's so not a good idea, especially involving using the evidence against Rodrigo Borgia. That snake is too sneaky."

"I've got to," said Ben, "I need to know. I've got the feeling that... killing the mentor of Wind Assassins, and luring most of them out to attack Canterlot from our home, sounds dangerous and suspicious. And more importantly, we've gotta know what is Rodrigo's real objective."

"Yeah... You could be right... But I still think it's bad idea of using it."

"Then, what do you want me to do? Just a peek."

Flash thought for the moment, before he sighed. He turned, and was about to say, yet interrupted when he spotted Twilight. She approached to him and Ben.

"Ben," said Twilight, making Ben turned to her, "Please tell me that you're not planning to do something stupid?"

"If that's the only way to win the war," said Ben, "Then yes."

"Ben, you are lucky to survive the powers of Forbidden Knowledge, but what happen if you're not lucky?!"

"I will be fine. Trust me."

"Ben! Al-Mualim had warned you that using Forbidden Knowledge could endanger you! You had to be careful of using it."

Ben sighed, "Don't worry. I will be careful. But you have to trust me. I survive the worst before. I'll be fine."

Twilight thought for the moment, fearing of Ben's safety in using the Forbidden Knowledge. She sighed, "Alright. I believe in you. After all, you were lucky pony to survive the attacks from most of our enemies."

Ben smiled. He took the Forbidden Knowledge up, and activated it, unleashing powerful beam of golden rays, while they were covered by the transparent lights-like. He, Flash and Twilight looked at the scene, watching it in amazed. Both looked at Ben, who nodded his head, closing his eyes, concentrating his powers to find what he is looking for.

Ben, Twilight and Flash spotted the scene or frame of Rodrigo and his Demon Knights, who were talking to Grimmore in the mirror, then followed by several illegal crimes they had set such as capturing the innocents as mindless slaves and soldiers, funding the supplies and resourcefulness in finding Forbidden Knowledge, and some had tried to murder and kill the good officers and staffs, and many more. They gasped in not only shock, but surprise. They had the evidence.

Ben, Twilight and Flash gasped, hearing of what Rodrigo is planning for Grimmore: seeking the answer from the Vault on how to free his master from his imprisonment.

Fearing of what he saw, Ben quickly hits the button of Forbidden Knowledge. Its system had shut down. He turned to his two friends, who shown their concern and fear expression.

"You saw it," Ben asked. Twilight and Flash nodded their heads. He turned and looked at it. "So, this is why he needs Forbidden Knowledge. Helping him to get what he wants from the Vault to free Grimmore!"

"What are we gonna do?" Twilight asked in concern.

Flash sighed, "The evidence we are looking for are inside. I doubt we had time to copy it down. Tomorrow will be one serious battle."

Ben sighed, "If this is the only way to prove my mom and the rest's innocence, then so be it." Both Twilight and Flash shown their concern looks. Ben continued, "If this is the risk of wining the fight against the Borgia and Demon Knights, then I'll take it. We can't let them win or free Grimmore."

Twilight nodded her head, nuzzling Ben's head, "Of course, we won't."

"We're with you till the end," said Flash.

Ben smiled, hugging both Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry.

~

In Ezio's office, he, Flare Tiger, Altair, Leonardo and Machiavelli were discussing of the plans and battles for tomorrow.

"Our brothers had received the messages," said Machiavelli, "But I feared that they won't make it in time."

"Perhaps," said Ezio, "but we are not giving up our fight until our enemies are dead."

Leonardo nodded his head, "With some of my inventions, you will have some advantages in defeating and dealing with our enemies in air. That shouldn't be the problem." He sighed, "But main problem is... how we enter the building, without letting our enemies detecting us. I fear all Royal Guards will be replaced by more Demon Knights."

Flare Tiger smirked, "Leave that to me, partners. With the portal of mine and my partners, we can enter the Canterlot and attacked at the backs of our enemies, without them realizing. And of course, our other guilds can use that to get there as well."

"Really," asked Machiavelli, in shock and surprise, "Is that possible?"

"Hey, you're talking to the Portal Maker, partner," Flare Tiger said confidently, "Just need you to pinpoint of where to strike and how we handle the situation."

Hearing of what Flare Tiger had said, Altair smiled, "Good. Then, we have the element of surprises in against our enemies. Rodrigo Borgia and Demon Knights won't know what hit them because he believed that we are the only Wind Assassins, when we actually had different guilds."

"Si (Yes)," Ezio agreed, "Once they let their guard down, we'll send the words to our brotherhood to strike."

Flare Tiger smirked, "Now, that's the kind of spirit I'm looking for. Besides, I had someone from the inside of helping. Just said the word, I'll get the job down. Besides, she and some of her Wind Assassins are at Ponyville. Others could be with different guilds, aiting for the words to get inside in one second."

Altair smiled, nodding his head, "Alright, here's how we handle."

Altair explained and evaluated of how the Wind Assassins handled the situation and problems, with the help of Leonardo's inventions and Flare Tiger's portals for the element of surprise.

On the next day or morning, Twilight, her friends, family and Tirorenze and Saddle Arabia Wind Assassins have been gathered on the outside of Auditore's Mansion, preparing to move and attack Canterlot to free its ponies and rulers, and defeat the remaining of Demon Knights. Flare Tiger dressed in red and yellow Wind Assassin's uniform.

Flare Tiger created the big black portal. Twilight, her friends and all of Wind Assassins march towards the portal. All of them had left.

Flare Tiger smirked, closing the big portal. She create the small portal, "Okay, time for second surprise. I hope you're ready, sis."

Flare Tiger was about to enter the portal, but her low back leg poked by someone. She turned and looked at Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos, dressed in their Wind Assassins' uniforms.

"Want to follow me, partner," asked Flare Tiger, with her glee.

Nyx nodded her head, "We want to help. We want to save Granny Celly and Great Aunt Luna. They're my family. Rodrigo must pay for what he has done to our family."

"So, where we're headin'?" Apple Bloom asked.

Flare Tiger smirked, "Ponyville. Just need to send a word to my pals"

Flare Tiger, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos entered the portal, heading to their home.

Arriving at the Ponyville, Flare Tiger, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos spotted the ponies of Ponyville looked worry and scared, heading towards them.

"What - What happen," asked Nyx, "And please don't tell me we did something wrong."

Mayor Mare shook her head, explained: "No, your highness. We are in grave danger! Today. Princesses and those, who were involved helping you, are about to get execution! And the worst part is the Borgia is taking over"

"What," cried Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Phobos.

Citizens of Ponyville, and even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who shivered in fear and concern about the Demon Knights' taking over the kingdom, and executing the Royal Sisters.

"What are we gonna do?!" Spike asked.

"Give up," asked Phobos, making everyone glared at him. He groaned, "Joking! I was joking!"

"Never mind about that," said Scootaloo, "We've gotta do something!"

Sweetie Belle nodded her head, "So, what are we 'really' gonna do?"

Flare Tiger smirked, "Leave everything to me. Time for the action. I just need someone to meet up with."

Flare Tiger smirked, seeing the blue wolf-pony, who had dark messy mane and tail, held the wooden staff and her Cutie Mark is black star and yellow star with whitish trail, wore the white and blue Wind Assassin's uniform, who leads her remaining Wind Assassins out, meeting up with her sister.

"Bluebelle Starseeker," said Flare Tiger, "It is time..."

"He's here," asked Bluebelle, making Flare Tiger nodded her head, "Good. I'll make him suffer!"

"You will. But first, a signal."

"All set. Just said a word."

Flare Tiger smirked, "Let's move out, partners!"

Bluebelle nodded her head, turning back to her Wind Assassins. She held the staff out, howled out like a wolf. Wind Assassins howled and roared. The Final Battle has begun...

At the Canterlot's Large Courtyard, ponies and citizens of Canterlot have been gathered at the large area. They watched the event carefully. Rodrigo Borgia, a former Advisor of Princess Celestia, yet truth behind him was that he is Grandmaster and Leader of Demon Knights, have finally got his chance of not only getting rid of Royal Sisters and interference, and his plan will come to fruition.

Rodrigo smiled, waved to the ponies, who remained unpleased, dissatisfaction and anger at the former advisor, for turning against his own Royal Sisters. They believed in princess more than Rodrigo Borgia.

Rodrigo took a step to the top of stage, where he sees his children: Cesare and Lucrezia, and his remaining officer, Robert De Sable, were waiting for him. He took a peek of his back and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had their necks tied up by the rope, ready for the hanging. But they were not alone. General Spanish Steel, Captain Cranky Roller and Lieutenant Hardstone are on the right of stage, and Fancypants, Fleur Dis Lea, Hoity Toity and Trenderhoof were on its left, ready to be hanged. Altair's family and Ezio's were in the cage, preparing to get hang.

Feeling proud and happy, Rodrigo make his speech to his ponies: "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! You and your collaborators, as well as your heir and the champions of Equestria have been found guilty! For they had betray us! They had led our officers and staffs to be murdered! These activities cannot be ignored, nor be forgotten! So, therefore, I sentenced you: Death!"

Ponies of Equestria or Canterlot cried in anger at Rodrigo: "Liar! Traitor! Princesses are the innocents! Free them at once! Let them go now! They are our rulers! They're our saviors! You, monsters, must died, not the princesses!"

Princess Celestia smiled, "It appears some ponies don't trust you, or believed in your words."

"What will you do," asked Princess Luna, slyly.

Rodrigo turned and gave his smile to the Royal Sisters, making them worry. He said: "I wasn't expecting that, your highness. After all, now is the time of fear."

Rodrigo turned to the ponies, making another speech: "If you do not accept the truth, then you are born as the fools. This is the true reason why freedom must be destroyed. Harmony cannot save this land. Everything you see and know from me is the truth, especially of what Princesses had done to my fellow friends and allies. Letting them to be murdered and assassinated by the Wind Assassins. It was unforgivable."

"That is because you are the real traitor, Rodrigo," The firm yet manly voice spoke, making Rodrigo turned and found the familiar enemies. Most of ponies turned and found the familiar heroes and champions: Altair, Ezio, June, Starlight, Mane Six, Ben, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance and Flash Sentry, who wore their Wind Assassins' uniforms. Altair glared at Rodrigo: "Those who sided and helped Rodrigo Borgia, are truly helping Grimmore. They are the Demon Knights!"

The ponies gasped in shock and concern, hearing of what Altair had said.

Ezio pointed at Rodrigo Borgia and his remaining allies, and said: "Altair speaks the truth. So, why hide it, Rodrigo? Fearing that they will resist you? Fearing that you are actually afraid if you fail Grimmore to fulfill of what you want?"

Cesare huffed, "Is that how you think, Ezio Auditore?" He turned to Twilight and her friends. He chuckled: "Benjamin Mare... I can't truly remember of when you did learn to take the gamble and risk against the odds. Tell me... Do you truly think we are the liars when the Princesses aren't? If so, where is the proof?"

"You want the proof?" Ben smirked as he takes the Forbidden Knowledge out from his pocket. Everyone mumbled while Demon Knights gasped in shock but Rodrigo. "I've got one. Reveal your true colors!"

Ben activated the Forbidden Knowledge, and it revealed the truth and evidence of what Rodrigo Borgia and his accomplices had done in few years. Ponies and citizens of Canterlot or Equestria gasped in shock, seeing Rodrigo had made the deal with the Demon God himself. They booed and cried in anger at Rodrigo Borgia.

"It looks like you had lost, Borgia," said Altair, "Surrender! Now! We will spare you!"

Rodrigo scoffed, "Ha! Do you not think of I would not have know of what you plans? Do you think I would stop by mere evidence?! Fools! This is the beginning! Seize them! And execute the traitors!"

Cesare whistled out loud, making most of black coat of Italian soldiers, white robes and helmets of knights, white armored and helmets soldiers, Italian Knights with golden masks, and giant and muscular armored knights of Demon Knights to come out from the building and cities, aiming their swords, spears, pikes, axes, maces, bows and arrows, guns, crossbows. But they were not alone, the Dark Elves, Orcs, Ogres and Demons had come out from the ground and held their weapons at their enemies.

Ponies gasped in shock and fear, as well as screaming and panicking, seeing Grimmore's armies have been gathered in the area.

"Citizens of Equestria," said Altair, getting their attention, "I know it is terrifying and dangerous. But in this kind of situation, you all must leave." The ponies looked concern and worry if they chose to leave, Altair continued: "We appreciate your loyalty and kindness to our rulers. We'd assure you that we will get your home safely. Leave now."

Knowing the situation will turn to worst, ponies and citizens of Equestria quickly leave the place before it started. They prayed that their land will be saved by their very heroines and rescued Princesses.

Both Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army aimed and armed their weapons at Mane Six, Ben, Flash, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Altair, Ezio and June. They had the heroes and heroines surrounded.

Cesare chuckled, "You've made the terrible mistakes, my dear old friends. Any last words?"

Ezio smirked, "One. Surprise."

The sound of swinging blades, swooping arrows and gun powdering is heard from most of everyone's ears. Both Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army stabbed, struck down, damaged and attacked by the arrows, bullets, blasts and blades on their heads, bodies, chests, backs and limbs, and even building's rooftop, where they were stationed, attacked by someone as well. Their forces had been cutting down to few or hundreds at least.

The attack that Wind Assassins had shock Rodrigo and his Demon Knights.

Rodrigo scoffed, "Very clever of you. But that won't save you much. I have set the armies in high alert, finding and killing wherever you're hiding them."

"We're not hiding," Another voice had spoken. Everyone turned back and looked up, and saw Connor and his new ally who is female Zebra, dressed in blue pirate's shirt and white pants with her hat and guns on her pockets. "We merely waiting for the right moment."

"Who are you?! I don't remember you!" Cesare cried in concern.

"My name is Connor," Connor introduced himself, "I am Red Indian-Appleloosa's Wind Assassin."

"I'm Aveline from Zebra Safari's Wind Assassin," said Aveline, "But we are not alone."

Altair, Ezio, Starlight and June smiled, while Demon Knights confuse and concern, as well as the prisoners of what Connor and Aveline had said. The Dark Elf Soldier ran towards Rodrigo from the back of the courtyard, who is wounded and injured.

"Sir," cried Dark Elf Soldier, "We're under attacked!"

"By whom?" Rodrigo demanded.

Dark Elf Soldier cried, "Wind Assassins and Royal Guards! They're everywhere!"

Hearing of what his Dark Elf Soldier had said, Rodrigo became shock and scared, realizing that there is more brotherhoods than just two at Tirorenze, but some from different locations or states of Equestria.

On the Canterlot's outer walls, Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army were attacked, struck down, fired, blasted and shot by several Unicorn Bursts, Bullets and Arrows from the plain fields' hills, where dozens of Royal Guards and Wind Assassins are firing their weapons while leaving some charging and ramming on the gate hard or climbing to the top attacking the Demon Knights from the castle's towers.

"Keep firing and fighting," ordered Machiavelli, "We must cut down their forces and keep them at bay!"

"With these old fashion technologies," Leonardo said, seeing some Earth Ponies of Unicorns flying Leonardo's old mechanical flying machine, heading towards the castle, "They can attack from the air."

Upon flying over or climbing over, Wind Assassins and Royal Guards drop, attack and struck their enemies: Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army down as hard and quick as they can - punching, kicking, slicing, striking and killing - with their knives, swords, axes, spears, pikes and Hidden Blades, blasting their Unicorn Burst, their guns, bows and arrows and more. But the enemies fought back hard, and had manage to kill some.

Within the Canterlot's cities, houses and streets, Malik, Claudia, La Volpe and Bartolomeo led several kinds of Wind Assassins and the Royal Guards attacking and battling against the dozens of Demon Knights and Grimmore’s Army hard and quick.

Bartolomeo swung his long sword against couple of enemies. Claudia dodged the attacks fro two enemies, before striking at their chests and necks. La Volpe jumped over three elves, thrust his knife on his chest, before sliced on the other two's necks quick.

From the rooftops, Wind Assassins jumped off from the building as they struck their enemies on their necks hard. Some hung their enemies up through the use of their Dart Blade, or firing their arrows, guns and Hidden Guns at them. They came from the back of their enemies, striking at their backs hard and quick.

"Very clever. But," said Rodrigo, chuckled lightly, "I'm afraid that I still had upperhoof in winning the war, and such as your families and friends as my hostages." He turned to his executioner, giving a smirk, "Executioner! Execute the Princesses and her collaborators! All of them!"

Altair, Ezio, Mane Six, Ben, Flash, Starlight, June, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance gasped in shock and concern. Rodrigo was not through with the war. For the moment later, nothing had happen. Rodrigo turned to his executioner, seeing he's doing nothing.

"Is there a problem? I say one again: Execute them," Rodrigo said angrily.

Before anything could have happen, the executioner fell to the ground hard. Everyone gasped in shock. Not only that, but the Royal Sisters and their collaborators are freed from their imprisonment of hanging or cage. They turned and spotted Flare Tiger jumped down, along with remains of Wind Assassins including Romeo Stalkthief, Nyx, who is in her Battle Mode, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Spike and Phobos.

"Grandpeppy," Applejack cried happily.

"The Jinx is up, Rodrigo," Flare Tiger exclaimed.

"In the name of our Harmony and Freedom," cried Romeo, "You are under arrest!"

Starlight headed to the front, as he said to his enemy: "I hope you are prepare for the good rest, buster!"

Rodrigo huffed, "I think not, boy! Feel the power of Grimmore's strength!" He swung his Forbidden Staff around him, before slammed it on the ground hard, creating the powerful shock waves against Twilight, her friends and family hard, to the ground, including Ben and his Forbidden Knowledge.

"I shall take this," Rodrigo approached Ben, took Forbidden Knowledge. He chuckled lightly, "Good... This is all I need."

Rodrigo turned to Robert, giving him a smirk: "Kill them! Grimmore shall be freed!"

Rodrigo and Cesare quickly escaped on courtyard's back and then through the long streets of Canterlot. More of Grimmore's Army and Demon Knights, charging in from different directions of Canterlot. Robert and Lucrezia took their swords out, preparing to kill their enemies.

"Knights, arm yourselves," ordered Robert, "Kill both the Assassins and the enemies! I want them dead!"

Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army cried and yelled in battle, charging at Twilight and her friends. Twilight and her friends were completely outnumbered.

Altair turned to Ben, Flash and Starlight, "We must stop the Borgia from reaching the Vault."

"Alright," Ben, Starlight and Flash nodded their heads.

"We'll cover you," said Twilight.

Mane Six, Wind Assassins, Royal Sisters, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Officers, Celebrities and Royal Guards charged and attacked the Demon Knights, giving their friends: Altair, Ben, Starlight and Flash to chase and went after the Borgia father and son.

Royal Sisters, Twilight, Flare Tiger, Nyx, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance blasted their Unicorn Burst at the couple of Demon Knights. Rainbow Dash swung her Magical Nunchucks against the Dark Elves. Applejack used her hooves to fight and kick against Ogres. Rarity And Pinkie blasted their Eternal Style and Party Canon against both Grimmore's Army and Demon Knights at distance. Fluttershy used her Rosin Shields, protecting her, Darim, Sef, Flora, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Dragons. Fluttershy used Bat's Sonic Wave and Porcupine's spiky attacks while leaving the young foals and dragons in throwing rocks and fire breathing against their enemies. Ezio, Connor, Avelina and June fought against the enemies through their skills and Assassins' Swords and Hidden Blades.

Wind Assassins and Royal Guards used their swords, spears, axes, pikes, shields, bows and arrows, and guns fighting and battling against Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army. Spanish Steel, Cranky Roller and Hardstone used their swords against the enemies through punching, kicking and killing with their own swords. Sapphire Shore and Hoity Toity fought back hard through their hooves and Martial Arts. Trenderhoof, Fancypants and Fleur Dis Lea used their frying pans, and hit the enemies' head when they are not aware of the battles.

Lucrezia smirked, using her Unicorn Burst at Nyx and Flare Tiger who is blasting their powers back at the enemies. Twilight jumped and grabbed Borgia's daughter down. They both punched on their faces and blasting their Unicorn Bursts at each other, as well as dodging the attacks in basic maneuvers or hiding behind the rocks.

Twilight ran and charged towards at Lucrezia, who kept firing her Unicorn Bursts, but the princess dodged the attack with quick swift.. She jumped up and punched on her enemy's face down hard.

Robert was about to attack at Ezio from his back, but stopped by Altair's wife an Ezio's Wife: Maria and Sofia, with their swords.

"You two," Robert snarled angrily.

"You will pay for what you had done for not only two of us," Maria exclaimed.

"But all of our family," Sofia shouted angrily.

Robert swung his sword pushing it back both Maria and Sofia back, before trying to strike on their heads. Two ladies dodged down. Maria thrusting her sword against Robert's chest, but he moved to his left side. Sofia swung hers on her enemy's head. Robert blocked the attack, before kicking her out. Maria jumped and swung over his head, but Robert blocked the attack, before tossing her down to the ground hard.

Robert turn and thrust his sword right at Sofia, but she rolled back, before she gave the hard kick on him. Maria punched on his face hard and then chest for few times, before she kicked him hard to the ground.

Before any of the heroes and heroines could do, more waves of Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army marching in. Robert chuckled lightly and evilly. They gasped and looked in concern and worry.

"It's over now..." said Robert. He then spotted the pink armored Demon Knight approaching to him. "Alright little one, I want you to do the honors. Signal the attack and have them all killed."

The Pink armored Demon Knight remained still, as well as her Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army. It has tested Robert's patient long enough. He turned and glared at the pinkish Demon Knight.

"What are you waiting for," Robert demanded angrily, "Do as you are told! Kill -!

Suddenly, within a flash of which none saw coming, Robert gasped, feeling his neck is bleeding, and tries to look at who attacked him. Only to see it was the same knight, who held the Hidden Blade. She has the same way as the Wind Assassins do it.

"Y-Y-Y-You... traitor... uuugh?" said Robert, giving his last breathe.

The Pinkish Demon Knight removed her Hidden Blade away from Robert's throat. He fell to the ground hard. Both the remains of Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army looked shock and scared, seeing the Pinkish Demon Knight had betray them. She removed the helmet revealing her true face. Everyone gasped in shock.

"You fellas might be powerful and hard to get in a fight," said Pinkamena. Before Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army could do, her units turned and armed their bows and arrows, guns and blades at them. Soon their bodies slowly transformed into the Royal Guards and Light Elfs. Omega came to the front. She smirked, "But you had one flaw... You let your guard down. Like the winner said, 'Checkmate'."

Both Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army dropped their weapons, knowing that they are completely outnumbered and outmatched against their enemies, surrendered to them.

"Well done, Pinkamena," Princess Celestia commented, "Your plan is flawless. Thanks to Omega's Illusion Ability, hiding your soldiers' true forms."

Ezio smirked, "I see our highness had made some preparation before he execution."

Princess Luna smiled, "We had to. We'd never doubt of your loyalty and courage, but merely concern that you'll be outnumbered. That is why Pinkamena, Golden Heart, Lorcan and our loyal friends hidden from the enemies' sights until the right moment to strike."

"Which is this," Princess Celestia smiled, "Only two more lefts to deal with: Rodrigo and Cesare. I leave everything to our friends and my son."

Twilight nodded her head, "I hope it doesn't end badly. But I think we should get there as well. I hope we can find them."

Flare Tiger smirked, "Not to worry, partners. I've got some partners of mine to help out. In fact, she's on the move and leaving some trails behind."

Everyone turned to Flare Tiger, who is pointing at the floor. It has the wolf's paw-prints, walking or heading towards where Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight had headed straight to. They had the lead. They followed the paw prints at once. A lead to end Rodrigo Borgia's scheme before he could free Grimmore.

Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight kept on running while defeating and killing Demon Knights, crossing the streets all the way to Canterlot Castle. Thanks to Flash's Wind Instinct and Starlight's Shadow Instinct, they found the Borgia's trails and their ways to the Vault. Unfortunately, more of Demon Knights kept on attacking and charging them down.

The first wave of defense from Grimmore's Army and Demon Knights have shielded themselves up with their spears, pikes, axes, bows and arrows and guns on the street and buildings' rooftops, aiming at Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight. Before the heroes could do anything, among Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army, one of the Dark Elf punched one of his kind hard. Then, another one attacked his own kind. The fight had made both Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army to fight each other hard and painfully.

"What the -?!" asked Flash, "What just happen?"

Golden Heart appeared from the sparkling light, flying on top of Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight, giving them smile.

"Hope that is good enough for you," said Golden Heart.

"Golden Heart," cried Ben, "This is your plan?"

Golden Heart nodded his head, "That's right. While Princesses help you in dealing with assassination of our enemies, my forces prepared for this war. And we did. So don't worry about us, find Borgia and deal with them for good!"

Ben nodded his head. Golden Heart flew towards his Royal Guards and Light Elves in dealing with both Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army. Lorcan gave his enemy a big headbutt. The Captain of Light Elf, HAVIS gave the hard punch on his enemy. He turned to Golden Heart, gave him a thumbs up. Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight galloped and jumped over the battles between good and evil, before heading out.

Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight kept on galloping and running towards their targets. They quickly stopped at once, and found the large numbers of Grimmore's Army and Demon Knights blocking their ways.

Ben groaned, "Now what?"

"Leave that to me, Ben," said Starlight, "Time to bring out my new secret weapon... Shadow Double!"

Starlight's shadow mold upwards, reacting strangely yet creating something. It formed the form of another Starlight, but worn with both uniform and mask: Equestrian Eliminator. Altair, Ben and Flash gasped in shock. Starlight and Equestrian Eliminator looked at each other before nodding their heads, before they headed straight at the Demon Knights, with their Shadow Assassin Swords, Shadow Hidden Blades and Shadow Spears. They struck almost all of them down with one strikes.

Both Starlight and Equestrian Eliminator had defeated all of Demon Knights and Grimmore's Army. Altair, Ben and Flash looked shock, with their mouths opened.

Equestrian Eliminator smiled, "So you have performed it to summon me from within your conscious? Impressive."

Starlight smiled, "Yeah, after we got the Element of Shadow, I figure it out of how to get you help out. I can call you out without losing any of our strength, like a back up."

"Yet... you did not perform this ability in against our enemy?"

"Had to learn of how strong Demon Assassin's compare to ours. But I've figure it out that he couldn't use this technique without something important."

"Both Light and Dark side to summon any of us. Only Hanzo knew about that secret and ability since he is the Holder of Element of Shadow."

"Right. Even though Demon Assassin was the Holder of Element of Shadow, he doesn't had the Light or understand it. This will be our advantage to fight."

"And your friends?"

Starlight gulped, realizing of something he had forgotten. He turned and saw Altair, Ben and Flash had their shock and concern look.

"I'll handle it," said Starlight. Equestrian Eliminator shrugged before disappeared. "Guys, I can explain -!"

"Nice work," said Ben, "That was cool, though you could have told us about it."

Starlight blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry."

"Never mind," said Altair, "We must find and end Borgia at once."

"He's right," said Flash, "Let's roll!"

Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight headed out at once, finding and ending the Borgia once and for all.

Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight had arrived at the Canterlot's Vault, where Twilight and her friends' Elements of Harmony kept before Discord's event. The Vault was located within the base? Why? What? And how? They knew their questions of wondering will had to wait. They had to finish the battles... once and for all...

They entered the chamber where they found Rodrigo and Cesare hitting his Forbidden Staff on the floor very hard.

"Open the door," Rodrigo demanded angrily, "Damn it! Open it! Now!"

"Are you sure this is the right material we need?" asked Cesare.

"Or maybe, you got misinform or underestimate the true meaning of hidden door's open," said Ben, "We've got you now. It's time we end the fight. Once and for all."

Altair nodded his head, "Agreed. Armed your weapons and destroy our enemies! We shall not let you get what you want to free your master!"

Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight held their Hidden Guns right at Rodrigo and Cesare Borgia. They fired at once. Rodrigo quickly used the staff and protects him and his son from the attacks.

"Damn it," Altair shouted furiously, "Forbidden Staffs and Knowledge protected him from harm!"

"Tell me about it. Got any idea," asked Flash.

Starlight shook his head, "Nothing of it. Not gonna risk my secret plan."

Dropping his force field down, Rodrigo laughed madly, mocking: "There is nothing you can do! This is END!"

"RODRIGO BORGIA," The angry female voice shouted in anger.

Everyone looked up, and spotted Bluebella Starseeker hung up on the ceiling, glaring at her enemies. She growled in anger, charging down right on. She scratched on Rodrigo's hoof hard, making him let go of the Forbidden Staff. Bluebella Starseeker glared and growled at her enemies.

Rodrigo gasped, "Impossible! I killed your packs for good! You should be dead with the rest!"

Bluebella Starseeker growled, "You should glad that I didn't died in vain! Now, face me, coward!"

Rodrigo grinned, "If you wish, then shall we?"

Bluebella roared in anger, charging at Rodrigo. He took the metal gloves out, punched right on her face hard, shocking and electrocuting her literally to the ground hard.

Rodrigo smiled, "This is like what I did to the poor Angel Star. He should have accept my offer in becoming one of Demon Knights. Pity he learns nothing... As always..."

Before Rodrigo could do anything, he was being punched by Starlight to the wall hard. Starlight showed his anger and rage look. He finally found how Angel Star and the Explorers of Light killed, and penetrated by EBE. He snarled angrily at Rodrigo, holding his Shadow Assassin Sword tight.

"It was you," Angrily, Starlight said, "You're the reason of how Explorers were destroyed. You are the traitor."

"I was never been the part of that stupid adventurers. I just need to find what I'm looking from that Stupid Fairy for to free our master and destroy the likes of you. But turns out, my search ends badly. But I had plans for your friend, Angel Star, but he blew his chance. But words can't be same for you, little boy," said Rodrigo.

Ben groaned angrily, hearing of what Rodrigo had said. Rodrigo won't get away with this. He must pay for what he has done to everyone. He threw his Master Sword and Hidden Blade down hard.

"I had it," said Ben, in his rage and anger, "No tricks. No weapons. No running away. No cheating. No Elements helping. Just the old fashion style of fighting."

"Ben..." said Altair, Flash and Starlight in concern.

Cesare chuckled gently and lightly, throwing his sword down, commented: "This should be fun. After all, Benjamin, I always win, while you and your knight always lose."

Flash huffed: "Let's find out of how right you damn are, buster!"

Ben and Flash charged in, and so as Cesare. Cesare thrust his punches ahead, but two heroes dodged down. They both quickly kicked on his back hard. Cesare groaned in anger, turning and punching on Ben and Flash, who kept dodging back and back, for few times. Cesare managed to punch Ben hard. Flash jumped, and gave the hard kick on his enemy's face. Flash helped Ben up. Before they could do anything, Flash got his back kicked hard to the ground. Cesare grabbed Flash, and threw him to the wall, and then slammed to the floor, before throwing him up, letting him to slam on the ground. Ben quickly punched on Cesare's face for few times, before throwing him to each walls hard for several times.

Altair jumped over Rodrigo, and gave the punch on his enemy's face hard. Starlight punched back hard on Rodrigo's face, and then his chest, before kicking his enemy to Altair, who punched his face for several times. Rodrigo quickly blocked the attack from Altair, before punched on his enemy's face. Rodrigo turned and gave the hard punch on Starlight's face. Rodrigo kicked on Starlight's chest, making him rolled over back. Rodrigo was about to make another punch, Altair jumped and grabbed Rodrigo, threw him to the wall hard. Altair charged at Rodrigo, who quickly dodged to his left, kicked on Altair's chest hard. Starlight charged in and punched on Rodrigo's face hard, but Rodrigo punched the young hero hard for several times before threw him at Altair.

Cesare grabbed Ben's throat, strangling him to the death. Flash came from behind and hit on Cesare's head hard. Ben quickly punched on Cesare's face and chest very hard for three times, before Flash kicked his chest. They did the routine of punching and kicking on Cesare for few times. They gave the hard and final punches on Cesare, knock to the ground.

Rodrigo punched Starlight hard to the ground. Altair jumped up to the walls, and kicked on his enemy's face hard. Altair quickly punched and kicked on Rodrigo's face hard for few times, before punching him towards Starlight, who fought hard through punching and kicking for the moment. Both Altair and Starlight gave the final kick Rodrigo to the ground hard.

Ben and Flash stepped Cesare to the ground while Starlight and Altair held Rodrigo as well. Ben and his friends glared at their hatred enemies.

Filling his mind with anger and rage, Rodrigo cried in anger, "Nooooooo! You can't! You CAN'T! It's MY destiny! It's my duty to free Demon God! I am his Heir!"

"The throne... The Kingdom... It was ours! You cannot denied us! You cannot denied our rights! We are the true rulers!" Cesare said angrily.

Ben shook his head, showing his anger yet firm eyes, "Both of you... never were."

Rodrigo turned away from the Wind Assassins, huffed: "Finish us. Get over it."

"I won't," said Altair, "You may have kill Al-Mualim, but revenge will never bring him back, as Ezio had said."

Starlight nodded his head, "Angel Star wouldn't want me to go down on the wrong path, but rather a right one. And I did."

"It should be easy for us to kill you," Flash said calmly.

"But you don't deserve it, Rodrigo," said Ben, "But I would never forgive you or your son of what you had done to us and some innocent ponies you had done. But we choose not to... I can't say the same thing for Bluebella."

Bluebella glared at Rodrigo and his son, who remained silent and looked away. Having some thoughts and remembering of what they had said as well as her adopted sister, she nodded her head, sighed: "They're right. Vengeance only bring us to nowhere. But... I've seen everything including to what happen to Twilight Sparkle, should she let her anger blinded her. She would be lost. I will not."

Ben, Flash, Altair and Starlight held both Rodrigo and Cesare up. Bluebella locked both Rodrigo and Cesare, having thier hooves tied to the hard iron cuffs and gave them wore the Anti-Magic Collars.

"Rest in peace, damn buster," said Bluebella.

Rodrigo roared in anger, preparing to strike, but instead he got punched on his face. Cesare gasped and yelped in fear, seeing the white hooded pony.

The white hooded pony turned to Altair, Ben, Flash and Starlight, who remained in vigilant to fight. He removed his hood, revealing himself: a familiar character. A black ninja Kouma Unicorn had the silver shoulder plates, landed on the ground hard. He looked at his visitors.

"Tao?!" Ben, Flash and Starlight cried.

"Hanzo?" Altair said in shock.

"The Battle is over..." said Hanzo.

Tao smiled, "Well done. You had avoided the crisis. You save the Equestria."

Ben sighed, "Yeah... It is over..."

Flash turned. He gasped. He poked on Ben, Starlight and Altair to turn, and found the Forbidden Staff is placed on the middle, glowing in golden. Their minds are filled with questions and concerns, staring at the staffs glowing. Ben approached slowly, feeling like something's important within it. With a touch on the staff, it glowed even brighter. It beamed on both Flash and Starlight. Altair gasped in shock.

Twilight, her friends and family, including Royal Sisters, Ezio and June, entered the Elements of Harmony's Vault. They gasped in shock and concern, watching the Forbidden Staff glowed in golden, blinding everyone's eyes.

"It is time..." Tao said mysteriously, "Right on time..."

Tao's words had made most of heroes and heroines question and concern, wondering of what could he mean, as well as what happen next...

To be continued...
