Power is Corrupt

After the rest of the group got done expressing their anger at Pinkamena's "death", the finally managed to arrive at the castle. The door was extremely heavy and took Spike and Bad Apple to open it. When they walked in, the group was met with Crescenta lying on a table, and the dark figure flowing some dark aura into her body. The group stepped in and closed the door, and alerted the figure. At that moment, Crescenta awoke and looked at the group that now stood in front of her, waiting to fight. Stood stood up, looked at the entire group and spoke.

"Tell me, all of you. What reasons do you all have for wanting to defeat me? I only wish to break this world free from it's grasp from Killestia. Her rule is a cruel one and it has ruined a once beautiful land. Why do you wish to stop me?" She asked with with sincerity.

"That's easy" Spoke Blackfield. "Because your idea of freeing these people is creating a revolution, starting another war. and with revolution, comes the prices of life, and the happiness of the people. We have come accustomed to these ways, and it has made us all stronger. You wish to show these people how to become weak, and not only that, you'll wipe another another half of the population, basically causing an apocalypse!"

Crescenta chuckled at Blackfield. "You think i am going to teach these people how to be weak...? Only the weak and teach how to be weak. Let me show you the power these people will gain when I rule over this land!"

And with that Crescenta began to levitate as two large, heavy swords appeared in her hands, and the dark figure floated behind her ready to fight. Blackfield drew her sword and made a quick dash for Crescenta, while Bad Apple and Devil Dash took positions on top of two different stair cases where they would provide long-range attacks. Blackfield immediately made contact with Crescenta's sword which were crossed over to protect her. Blackfield tried another slash with her sword, but the dark figure, at the speed of light, appeared in her way and gave her a hard right hook to the torso, sending her flying back into the stone wall.

Spike was starting to get irritated at that damned shadow. He grabbed one of the stone pillars that were used to hold a no-longer-existing roof and took a hard swing with it. The shadow caught the pillar, and Crescenta proceeded to throw one of her swords through to middle of the pillar, headed straight for Spike. Necra managed to stop the sword with her telepathy and lob it right back. Crescenta merely leaned her head to the side and the sword missed, much to the embarrassment of Necra, and grabbed it from the wall which it landed in.

Pinkamena made an endless barrage of attacks against Crescenta, mindlessly swinging her chainsaw in an endless hacking and slashing motion, not once giving her a chance to breath, but spending all of her energy trying to block the quick and surprisingly strong attack that she had to block at every direction. This distraction gave Bad Apple and Devil Dash the perfect opportunity to let loose their storm of bullets upon Crescenta, Which the shadow used it's own body to block every bullet that came their way. With all of these attack keeping Crescenta at bay, Blackfield could conjure up the most powerful attack she currently knew... The Black Trinity.

She summoned a dark aura to her sword, which turned the color from silver to a blackish color with a few waves of purple that crept along it. The set her target into sight and saw that there was no true opening for her to unleash her attack.

"Necra!" Blackfield shouted. "I need you to send a message to the others into their minds!"

Necra agreed to do so and gave them the instructions for the plan. Pinkamena fake one lash hard slash which was probably capable up cutting right through the very swords she was using. Devil Dash and Bad Apple pretended to run out of ammo, so that the shadow took this as an opportunity to grab Pinkamena's arms and hold them back, rendering her useless, while Crescenta Prepared for one last slash to finish her off. But just as she reared her arms back for a full effect of a swing, Spike grabbed her and held them in place and shouted "NOW!"

Blackfield locked her eyes on Crescenta and made her move, all she needed was to land the first hit and there was no escaping the rest of the attack. She managed to teleport her way around the figure who had dropped Pinkamena realizing she was a  distraction. It tried to block her path, put was ported around and the first slash connected. It was a hard one that broke through Crescenta's armor and gave her a wound that would not heal any time soon. Before she could feel the force of the sword passing through her, Blackfield reared back and gave another slash, ported to a location, and gave another slash upward, knocking her into the air where Blackfield released her very own Ars Arcanum, afterwards giving another three slashes with so much power, the ripped a hole in the very fabric of space, in which Blackfield knocked Crescenta though, still not having yet had time to attempt to react to the attack.

In the tear in the dimension where the two were, Blackfield ported all around her, passing by while giving a hard slash of her sword every time. And once she saw that Crescenta was at her weakest point in the fight, she finished off the attack by gathering a large amount of heat in the palm of her hand, and released it as a great gust of fire to push her back through the tear of the area and fallowed her through, repairing it as she came through.

The group formed a circle around the defeated Crescenta, not knowing wether to feel pity for the broken woman that lay, crying in defeat before them, or to finish her off so as to make sure she didn't cause any more trouble ever again. Blackfield kneeled down to turn Crescenta over and observed the wounds that scattered her entire body. They have just defeated a goddess.... Then they heard footsteps behind them. Blackfield drew her sword and looked to see who had just walked in and her heart dropped at the sight. Her lord and master, Killestia, walked in to observe the aftermath of what just occured in the room. She kneeled down next to Crescenta to take a look at her defeated sister lying in pain on the ground.

She chuckled. "You're still as stupid as ever aren't you sister~?"

Crescenta tried her best to sit up, but her body didn't have the energy nor the blood amount to lift a finger. The shadow also lay next to her, what with it being connected to her life.

"What do we do about her your majesty? Should we finish her off?" Blackfield suggested to her.

"No..." Killestia responded. "I have a better plan."

And with that Killestia pulled a cloth from the rim of her shirt and wrapped it around Crescenta's eyes, causing the armor covering her body to fade into normal royalty clothes, the Shadow that hung from her back dissapeared, and her size decreased into that of a young girl in her 20's. Killestia picked up her sister and handed her to Spike.

"When we get back to Slaughterlot, i want you to take her to her room to rest, she and i have a lot to talk about." Killestia ordered.

Blackfield couldn't beleive it, but she actually felt sad about leaving the others behind. "W-we're going back....? Can't we at least just get our things first? Say goodbye to everyone.......?"

Killestia raised an eyebrow and gave a sly smile "Blackfield. Do you want to STAY here~?"

Blackfield blushed at the remark. "O-of course not! If anything, i dont wanna die in a city like this!"

Killestia knew what Blackfield was thinking and gave her a wink. "Well, what with me being the cruel bitch that i am, i'm not just gonna make this town your new home, but i'm gonna make you and these friend's of yours my newest elite team that can and WILL deal with any threat that may come to South Equestria, and pretty much anything else i tell you to do. And i declare that this new team will from here on out be known as The Seven Deadly Sinners!"

Blackfield pretended a sigh if dissapointent, but she wasn't fooling anybody, it was a sigh of relief.
