Nova simply hung there, suspended in the air, small whips of light floated out from under his feet as his body hung limp, his face almost hidden by his sudden growth of hair, Twilight took a deep breath, finally coming back to her senses.

"W-what? Why didn't the elements work?!" Rainbow shouted, the rest of the group finally breaking free of the oppressive aura filling the air.

"Twilight, what do we do now?" Applejack said, quickly looking to her for a plan or answer, Twilight's face scrunched up in concentration, quickly thinking out their next move.

"Well..." She started. "The elements appear to have had an effect on him at first, so there's no choice, we have to try again, formation girls!" Each of the mares slowly got to their feet. Nova's aura making movement itself feel wrong somehow, however, he still didn't move, even as they got back into formation.

Nova's mind was a wreak, to describe it, it was like someone had taken industrial strength bleach to a tissue, his mind had fallen back into the very reaches of his sub-conscious, and was slowly being rebooted, the only thing controlling him now was instinct alone.

He felt it, that same power as before, slowly charging up, his head slowly looked looked up to see the six mares rising into the air again, he didn't move, he still simply hung there in the air, he saw the mind melting rainbow being launched into the air, his head slowly following it, time seemed to slow down again, it inched closer and closer towards him with an intent to harm, and that's when his instinct kicked in.

Nova's arms suddenly raised together and clapped together, his fingers touching and pointing directly towards the rainbow, and just before it touched him, he swung both arms apart, and parted the rainbow like Moses parted the red sea in the bible, both halves harmlessly parted around him, hitting the floor around him. although he had diverted that attack, he still knew that the mares in front of him were a threat, around now small parts of his mind were returning, enough to make a simple thought.

"The rainbow is threat, rainbow comes from the six in front of me, the six in front of me are a threat, threats must be removed."

With this thought and with his body still mainly left to the control of his instincts, he raised both hand back up again to the six threats, who now had stopped channelling the elements and were slowly backing away in fear and confusion, his palms were pointed at the group, with white vortexes appearing on each one, they drew not from the outside, but from the power within himself.

Twilight and her friends backed away in pure fear, each had saw it, Nova had simply divided the most powerful attack in their possession, the Elements of Harmony itself.

Now, as they all slowly tried to back away, all they could do was stare at the two white vortexes slowly twisting around on Nova's palm, he had finally decided to attack back, Twilight tried to teleport her friends away to safety, but she found she couldn't, the suppressive aura around them made it impossible for her to concentrate on the spell, eventually they found that they couldn't back up any further.

They all stopped and looked back, they had backed themselves into a corner, Twilight turned back to Nova, just in time to see two large 'shots' of divine energy rapidly speed their way towards them, she simply closed her eyes, but nothing happened, apart from one distinctive feeling appearing suddenly, Twilight opened her eyes to see none other than her mentor andprincess, Celestia standing in front of her, a golden, magical shield surrounding them.

"P-princess! you came to rescued us! But what are you doing here?!" Twilight stuttered out. The surprise of her teachers appearance both shocking and relieving her.

"I'm only sorry I didn't come sooner My Little Ponies, if I had known the true nature of the being that stands before us before hand, I never would have sent you after him."

"W-w-what is he? to stop our elements..." Rarity asked, wanting some answers to the frightening events that had occurred, Celestia's face went from a passive look to a grim one.

"To put it simply, he... he is a Divine, a being that easily matches the power of a god, or maybe he is a god, to be truthful there's not much difference, repelling the elements would be easy for him with such divine power at his disposal." The mares shook with fear. Each realising they had just caught the anger of a creature that possibly defies all boundaries.

"A God? is that what I am?" everyone froze for a split moment.

They looked straight to the source of the voice, Nova's head no longer hanged limply, it stood up straight, along with the rest of his body, he was looking over himself, a face riddled with curiosity, then it slowly turned into a hate filled glare, directed straight at the group.

"You... do you even know what those waves of colours were doing to me?!" He screamed out, his voice filled with pure malice.

"It almost destroyed who I was, you could compare it to giving someone a lobotomy, cutting out the part that makes a person a person, a fate even crueler than death in my opinion. So the question now is..." Nova raised his right arm towards the shield Celestia was producing.
"What shall be your divine punishment?" he asked, his voice filled with equal parts insanity and wrath.

"Maybe, I'll cut you all to pieces." Nova suddenly drew his arm back and threw it forward like a sword, a large, sharp wave of Divine power was launched forward and impacted the shield, temporarily destroying the part it had hit, put it was quickly repaired, the stain it put of Celestia was noticeable on her face.

"Or maybe I'll just crush you like an egg. A big golden egg." Nova positioned his hands above and bellow the shield, and lowered them slowly, the shield began to rumble and crack as if two giant, invisible hands were atop and bellow it, slowly squeezing down, the pain this created for Celestia showed on her face, but it still held strong, this caused Nova to chuckle.

"My, my, it appears you are a very dangerous pony after all, perhaps I simply caught you off guard yesterday, now, maybe this time I'll-"

"Thou will do nothing but bleed beast!" a voice interrupted Nova from behind, and a giant black and silver scythe was quickly brought down with the intent to split, it did, but it split nothing but air, and standing behind the large scythe was Princess Luna.

She caught herself, despite missing her target completely, and teleported forward in front of Celestia's shield, using it to protect her back.

"We are sorry to be late, but it took us some time to find our weapon." Luna apologised, face scanning the room for Nova.

"It is no problem sister, I'm only glad you arrived when you did." a small amount of light suddenly appeared in front of Luna, Nova quickly appearing out of them.

"There are two of you? This does make things rather complicated." Nova said.

With his mind still rattled from the elements and the surge of overwhelming power coursing through him, sane thoughts were difficult right now.

"That's a rather pretty looking scythe."

"Sister!" Luna shouted, not taking her face off of Nova, who currently just floated there watching them. "Thou must retreat with the Elements, we cannot allow them to come to harm here, I will hold this 'Nova' at bay for now."

"Luna are yo-" Celestia started to protest, getting interrupted by her sister.

"I do not intend to get myself killed here stupidly sister, I will just hold him off for a short time, now go!" Celestia nodded. With that, she lowered her shield and teleported herself and the elements away, with Nova floating in the air, waving goodbye, he quickly turned his gaze to Luna.

"So, if she's the fair, benevolent one, I'm guessing your the black hearted devil of the duo?" Nova asked Luna, causing her anger to flare up.

"Dammed Beast, Thou shall fall to us!" Luna dropped her guard and shot rapid fire bolts of darkness towards Nova, he responded by raising one of his arms, an actual golden shield appeared, blocking each shot.

"Let's see if you can take what you give." he said.

The shield shined a brilliant white before firing each of the previous projectiles right back at Luna, she responded by swatting them away with her massive scythe, Nova attached the shield to his left arm, Luna used this to lunge forward towards him, attempting to slice him apart, but she only met with bounce-back as it struck his golden shield.

Nova made a sinister smile, as suddenly a wave of light flew out of the shield and headed straight at Luna, attempting to cut her in the same way she had intended to kill him, she sidestepped to avoid it, but was nicked on the shoulder, an amazing pain quickly flew through her, causing her to yelp in pain.

"A rather innocent looking shield isn't it, but I would be careful it has a rather nasty bite to it."

Just as things were starting to get into the swing of it, Luna disappeared in a flash of light. "Huh, guess it was past her bed time or something." Nova said to no one.

Rather disappointed he couldn't further test his new unlocked potential, he decided to take the only proper cause of action was to instantly fall to the ground and pass out, the stress on his body and mind starting to overwhelm him.
