Chapter 03: Alternate Resolution!

We begin to open up around the Everfree Forest, in where the battle against Alternate Tirek has seemingly been taken care of & now the Royal Guards are digging the giant foe’s body out of the buried rubble from the mountain nearby. The group of heroes were just resting for what seem like a half hour, as many have already stopped the alternate timeline foes of Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, an Un-reform Discord, the Flim-Flam Brothers & Queen Chrysalis.

“How’s everyone holding out?” Time Turner asked off in checking how many are doing at this time.

“Pretty good doc.” Derpy replied off to say this with an honest face.

“I’m just glad it’s finally all over.” Lyra sighs to say this in how glad she is that things worked out okay.

“Right, Alternate Tirek, we managed to slow him down just to buy enough time for you to arrive.” Bon-Bon exclaimed to say this in nodding in agreement in what they managed to do here.

“You know, I been thinking.” Ben rubbed his chin to ponder something for a second.

“What is it daddy?” Nyx asked her father in seeing he was thinking about something seriously.

“Me & a few other willing Element Wielders like Azuma fought Tirek in his Final Form to a small motion of hiding out. That was when Twilight & the others defeated him for good.” Ben explained about what happened when they fought against Tirek of their world before it took the Mane Six to deliver the last blow to victory.

“Ye mean with our Rainbow Forms?” Applejack exclaimed to recall how they defeated Tirek in the first place.

“Why yes, I do believe we did achieve something like that.” Rarity stated to say this in thinking about how they succeeded that time.

“Guess we didn’t need it here, hugh? Probably cause we got a bit stronger.” Rainbow Dash shrug off to brag off in how awesome they are.

“Wait, maybe what Ben is saying isn’t making some nonsense. This Tirek should be as strong as the one from our world!” Twilight exclaimed to say this in having some second thoughts about what should be the realization of things.

“Oh dear, do you think so?” Fluttershy yelps in fearing the idea of if that was true.

“But wait, if that was the case, how come he’s down & out if this was too easy?” Pinkie Pie asked in pondering if this Tirek wasn’t defeated yet, how come it looks like he is?

“Unless….we’re not entirely done!” Pinkamena exclaimed to say this in having a bad feeling about their situation.

But just then, something began to shake within the area that alerted everyone

“Um, I think our problem….just came back to us!” Starlight Glimmer yelps in seeing that the problem has just come back to them without warning.

“Foolish ponies, I know what happened here to know of what you done to the Tirek of this world. But the results won’t be the same, for I obtain something very useful be brought with me.” Alternate Tirek exclaimed forth in seeing the fools will not stop him by means of what stop the same foe as before in this world.

That’s when Alternate Tirek began to summon something into the palm of his hands as it took the form of what looked like a rather LARGE boulder to fit in the guy’s giant grip. But from closer inspection, the boulder was mostly purple with some dark patterns & gave off a wickedly scary aura that made many feel like shivering on sight.

“Oh no…That’s….” Autumn Gem yelps in seeing what was seen.

“A Dark Stone!” Sombra exclaimed in recognizing that object.

“You all know about the object?” Fila asked the others in seeing that there were some that have heard about such objects.

“Dark Stones: They generally take the form of dark & purplish stones of any size & shape, some even been accessorized by others into various ornaments or weapons. They steadily give off a faint purple to pinkish glow from time to time, even to appear as dark auras around users to commit evil acts. For if one lets that power consume them will turn even those of good nature into evil even if the user is good at heart or uses dark stones for good. It's said Dark Stones can develop unique abilities of a being that uses them, different powers that manifest the will of the wielder or their inherent strength. NOTED FACT: However, while having a larger supple of Dark Stones can grand one more power, a Dark Stone can grow more powerful when a user attempts to unleash their true darkness & the monster within their very hearts; but to do that, they must let the Dark Stone be fused into them. Powerful evil villains that can manipulate this upon easy victims can turn those infested to destroy their enemies because of their hatred & anger on those they dislike so much to become greater hatred & rage to take revenge. However, if the victim overcomes the Dark Stone's effect, it will be expelled from their bodies & become dull with the loss of its evil magic.” Omega explained the concept about what Dark Stones are & what dangers it comes with when one tries to truffle in fields they do not understand.

“I learned about them too, they are a great & evil source of power, they are considered a power boost & are recorded in the Forbidden Book of Spells.” Radiant Hope explained how Dark Stones are a source of evil to help empower & corrupt pure souls.

“How did he obtain one THAT large? Did he somehow gain such a thing from his alternate world’s timeline?” Umbrem questions off that what Alternate Tirek has is the largest subject of a RAW mineral of a Dark Stone.

“Now you will bear-witness power that even the Tirek of this world never tried.” Alternate Tirek issued forth to say this in what he’ll show that will bring about new terror. “HYRRUUOOAAARRUGHHHH!” Then he lets out a loud battle cry as he held the object near his chest.

Then without warning, dark light shined from that massive Dark Stone before sinking deep into Alternate Tirek’s body & soon within a warp-space aura, something was changing parts of the centaur’s appearance. As the light began to dim down, nearly everyone was almost staring off in shock in what they see, while the villain seemingly remain the same giant height, his physical features have changed into something far more darker. Still appearing as a centaur, the lower horse bottom half was covered in dark mineral made armor with gold lining designs & hoof-wear to appear like something rushing in a blacken gold flame from a demonic realm of creatures. As for the upper half of the beast-human feature, wearing what was like a Demonic robe connecting to the battle armor, which had a skeleton Demonic body armor in where down by the waist had a skull of a centaur, almost like…Tirek’s own! And from the arms in dark violet silk robe tear off a bit to wearing a gold bracelet, the hands appeared demonic with long nails & on the shoulders were shoulder pads of violet & gold line design; but a second shoulder pad of bones was set where a long red cape stretch out. But even scarier was seeing the head, it look like it was made of a demonic skull-form of Tirek, while within showed a faceless human head, but with bright yellow demonic eyes, mouth & line marks across the face, looking like the face of a ghastly ghoul. And the final touch was seeing flames off the back of the head like a mane of lively hair, also the same for the tail & two from the top of his two horns. The only thing seen wielded was what looked like a Demonic black lance with two points from front & back & a grip holder in the middle area. As for where the massive boulder of RAW Dark Stones was, it was seen embedded in the transformed foe’s center chest location. But as this creature stood before everyone, they could feel a large surge of darkness empowering this Alternate Tirek.

“Golden Heart…” Jack Zen slowly was speaking in having a bad feeling about this.

“Yeah….” Goldie slowly spoke off in having an unsteady feeling about the situation.

“What happens when a tough enemy you had on the ropes turns into that?” Jack Zen asked a question concerning about fighting a Tirek foe that has become something like what they see here.

“No idea, but in my best view, it CAN’T be good!” Goldie stated off blankly in knowing, this is not a good thing to be seeing.

“Behold your downfall….for now I am more than just the Alternate Appearance of Tirek, I have transform from the collection of Dark Stones to become: Centaur King, Tirek!” The new form of Alternate Tirek announced forth in revealing his new form.

“Oh bother…..like we weren’t in enough trouble when he just TOOK the magic from everyone to become strong!” Discord slapped his forehead in seeing that now they got a stronger enemy to defeat.

“Sister, we must stop Tirek before he can conquer Equestria!” Luna issued off in knowing that they must stop this stronger enemy before he can do great harm.

“Agreed. Twilight, you & the others must perform what aided you before.” Celestia nods off to say this while looking to those that once fought Tirek before.

“Yeah, about that….we’re not entirely sure how it works.” Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her head in stating a matter of not knowing how they did the Rainbow Form Transformation.

“But I bet’cha we’re gonna be wishing we DID! Lookout!” Applejack issued off to say this with worry before yelling this out.

Then without warning, everyone was either running, flying or teleporting out of danger when a hint lance was swung across the field.

“YOU CAN NOT OUTRUN ME!” Centaur King Tirek declared off to say this to the heroes as he was seen leaping like a flaming dash blur over a horizon of the forest to corner the tiny prey. “My new form not only makes me stronger, but FASTER too! And I can do this!” He explained forth that his new body is not just for show, he can do many more things.

That was when another shocker happened that Centaur King Tirek unleashed a blaze of inferno from his horns like torch-blowers. Everyone was scattering & evading or defending as best they could. But then in that moment when it was over, the entire area was shot an orange blaze color as the heroes saw…the Everfree Forest was on fire…

“Oh no! The animals of the forest!” Fluttershy yelps in fear in seeing the poor creatures as in trouble a large-scale forest fire.

“He’ll burn the whole forest down at this rate!” Rarity exclaimed with concern that if they don’t put out the flames, nothing will survive.

“We’ll have to divide into teams to keep this forest fire from reaching Ponyville.” Twilight issued off in knowing what they need to do, contain this massive problem from spreading.

“We can help keep the fire steady while many of you try to stop Tirek.” Radiant Hope exclaimed to say this in knowing what they can do to help out the most by dividing separate task.

“Quickly now, if anyone can do it, it’s you all.” Umbrem exclaimed to say this in feeling the group that are the best fighters can stop Centaur King Tirek in his tracks.

“Alright, while half of us are dealing with fire safety, the rest are on stopping a villain. Lets go-go-go!” Pinkie Pie smile forth to cheer off this claim in seeing that it’s time they get a move on.

Soon Radiant Hope lead Umbrem, Sombra, Autumn Gem, Jack Zen, Bon-Bon, Lyra, Derpy, & Time Turner to try to handle things in keeping the forest from burning while the group consisting of Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Golden Heart, Omega, Fila, Ben Nyx in her Adult Form, Phobos, Spike, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer & Starlight Glimmer were focusing on trying to keep Centaur King Tirek busy.

“Sword Beam!” Ben yelled out before swinging a charge Master Sword that fired a Sword Beam, but when it made contact with Centaur King Tirek, it barely showed a dent in the armor. “What? Not even a flinch?” Ben was surprised, usually enemies react, but Tirek was not much faze even with a tiny dent on that armor of his lower half.

“It must be the Dark Stones, that massive boulder must make it harder for Tirek to even feel pain.” Starlight Glimmer stated off in seeing that from the Dark Stone, it must have given Tirek a new ability.

“Then I will continue to bring on a heavier assault!” Omega issued off to say this while unleashing his barrage of arsenal firepower; just before the enemy used its speed togged out of the picture. “Target has evaded! Scanning for location!” Omega stated off in seeing that he needs to locate where Tirek went off towards.

“Omega! Behind you!” Fila yelled out to warn the mechanical pony as she leaps in….

At the moment, Fila tackle Omega out of the way when Centaur King Tirek maneuvered behind to swing his lance that leveled off a large scale of a forest section. Everyone was surprised, because even a bot like Omega might have been broken to pieces if that attack was made into contact.

“Man, for something that big, he’s moving fast.” Jack Zen stated off in not knowing how a big enemy could move that quickly.

“That power up of his is no joke.” Autumn Gem stated from seeing the damage done, Centaur King Tirek was no joke.

“Is there not a way to stop him?” Sombra asked in how to stop the enemy from getting away.

“The only way to stop someone using a Dark Stone is to destroy the source! Namely, that large boulder filled with RAW Dark Stone minerals!” Azuma pointed off in knowing what they need to do, stop the source that was giving Tirek his power.

“Have you seen the size of that thing, it take an army to do it! And we’re short now!” Goldie exclaimed off in surprise that they need to destroy something that massive.

“Never fear bro, you forget who’s also helping us out!” Pinkamena smiled off to simply say this in knowing they got someone that can be the aid of an army.

Soon Azuma activated a move called Multiple Clone Technique as he was creating massive version amounts of himself to confront the Centaur King Tirek.

“Grrr….you think a hundred, even a thousand ponies can even hope to restrain me!?” Centaur King Tirek snarled off in annoyance in seeing how the group believes this will stop him, sending in replicas.

“It will as I can produce more & more! Up to a thousand & more….” Azuma issued forth to say this as he was continuing to make even more clone replicas to go forth to restrain the mighty new Tirek from where he stands.

“Azuma, when could you make this many?” Twilight asked off surprised that their friend was able to perform something like this.

“He learn much in developing this in the past 100 years ago Twilight, that is a technique considered a Forbidden type, because it can potentially be dangerous to the user performing it, seeing how all of the clones are given an equal amount of magic directly from the user.” Celestia explained this off for Twilight to know of what Azuma was able to use a move that was most likely a Forbidden Spell, a very tricky stuff.

“We heard that Azuma learn this from the Book of Forbidden Spells, because few are able to use this technique effectively, due to a large amount of magic it consumes. However, this weakness is not an issue for him, due to his massive magic reserves after gaining an Alicorn form.” Luna explained how using a spell that can zap away much of one’s magic strength is hard unless one has a lot of magic in reserve.

“So then, having such reserves allows him to create hundreds of clones while maintaining a decent supply of magic energy in each one!” Starlight Glimmer exclaimed in surprise in having heard this, she was not aware that Azuma even had such a capability.

“Not just that, I heard from the Royal Sisters that Azuma used this technique to quickly train himself, since all the clones share their experience with him, but it causes extreme fatigue with repeated use.” Goldie stated how using a technique like that was hard on the user to gain new experiences while feeling much of the fatigue along the way.

“But he learns to make due with it since it helps make him stronger after the training results. Now he can use that technique on multiple occasions to form human chains, for both offensive & supplementary reasons. Which is why he’s a user to the Element of Replication.” Pinkamena smiled off with pride in acknowledging how from what Azuma achieved has made him a lot stronger.

“I can’t believe it, even I have had trouble trying to make so many clones of myself like that!” Starlight Glimmer exclaimed in never believing someone could do this on a whim without having too much difficulty doing it.

The battle continues in where Azuma had already created up to nearly 5000 clones to be restraining much of Centaur King Tirek’s movements. The rest of the group was trying to land as much damage on parts of the evil centaur as possible, however…

“ENOUGH/PowFruvhmm….” Then without warning, Centaur King Tirek unleashed a blazing inferno aura that blasted & scatter many of the clones off his body while the heroes stood their ground.

“I don’t think he’s too happy.” Phobos sheepishly stated in seeing this seem bad.

“You think?” Spike rolled his eyes to state how Phobos got that.

“We’re running out of options here.” Flash stated to say this in seeing they are running out of options to stop the villain.

“We need to hit him with stronger spells.” Sunset exclaimed to say this in seeing what they need to do here.

But then Centaur King Tirek used his blazing speed to charge around the heroes, as he began to unleash inferno blast & swung his lance to wreck more of the forest area. Everyone was trying to hold out & the heroes fighting the enemy were unleashing much more of their magic power to try to cause some extra form of damage. Many of the unicorn & Alicorn spell users even fired off Unicorn Burst attacks, until Centaur King Tirek hurl off his lance, as the massive lance ended up doing the impossible to break through a piercer type spell before impacting the ground. The shockwave caused an implosion that scattered everyone across the field as they were seen lying down. Radiant Hope’s group furtherest from the attack saw what happened to feel worry.

“Uh oh! That isn’t good!” Derpy yelps in seeing that their pals are in deep trouble.

“They’re in trouble.” Lyra stated that the gang that are fighting need help.

“We have to go back for them.” Bon-Bon issued off in what they need to do, help the gang out.

“Wait, someone is still moving.” Time Turner stopped everyone from noticing that something was happening now.

At the moment, Starlight Glimmer was beginning to wake up from what happened first as she began to notice that the dark powered top Tirek was stomping closer to their location.

“It is time that I claim my prize of conquering this world those that brought me here offered.” Centaur King Tirek issued forth that he shall make claim of what he was promised.

“No…..I…won’t let you have my….my…” Starlight stated off to protest against this guy from trying to achieve anything, because the others here were…

“Your what, little pony?” Centaur King Tirek remarked off to see what the little pony trying to be brave was trying to say.

“My friends!” Starlight shouted off to say this that the group she’s with are her friends.

Now Starlight Glimmer used much of her power to create a large enough magic barrier to shield everyone, just as Centaur King Tirek landed a strike with his giant lance. The force impact was quite tremendous, but the unicorn mare held out while feeling the shock backlash forces while trying to maintain her magic barrier to hold out. She even made crystals form inside of it, but they were cracking at a fast rate from Tirek’s power.

“You think your little barrier can keep me from your friends?” Centaur King Tirek remarked off to say this in hardly seeing any threat in what was happening.

“You won’t win. My friends stopped you & the other villains from alternate timelines before, they can do so again…” Starlight stated off in trying to speak with some self-confidence to help her out.

“That was then, you had an army of far stronger warriors, I have transformed with a power that makes me invincible!” Centaur King Tirek declared off to say this in unleashing even more dark power of his magic to make the weight Starlight is blocking even harder to deal with.

“Even still, I…won’t…lose….” Starlight struggled to slowly speak her words in putting as much effort into her horn to keep the protective magic barrier up; to keep everyone that is her friend safe.

“Well spoken, Starlight Glimmer…” Then getting up to walk outside of Starlight Glimmer’s barrier by teleportation was Azuma, much to the mare’s surprise. “It is time that we show the villain, that we will not fall due to someone that things a power of one, is greater then the strength go many comrades.” Then without warning, Azuma was performing the Multiple Clone Technique, this time having made a large magic poof cloud appear & soon what came was more than 5000 clones, it was double the amount….10,000! Even Starlight Glimmer & the others stared in surprise in what they had seen…..

“More clones, I told you, no amount of an army can stand against the dark powers I wield!” Centaur King Tirek exclaimed to say this in seeing that no matter the numbers, it will not do anything.

“Then it is time that you met with something that brings the strength of all of us together.” Azuma stated this off with a serious expression on his face of what he & his clones plan to do.

“Sister, does he plan to unleash it now?” Luna asked off in realizing what their friend is going to do here that the Royal Sisters know.

“Unleash what?” Ben asked off in not understanding the discussion.

“A move that Azuma has been learning to acquire for the last 100 years to bring together his clones to have their combine strength.” Celestia stated off with a firm tone in bringing up this topic of what Azuma has been trying to achieve, which surprised the others.

“Wait, you’re not saying he’s going to perform….the Xros Fusion Spell! With THAT many?” Twilight yelps in just thinking about the very idea seem too wild to even imagine.

“Is such a thing possible?” Fila asked in being curious about performing such a task.

“Usually when a powerful user can cast it, it is simple even if one forces those that do not willingly do so, the only limit might be to how many units.” Omega explained how when one can cast the Xros Fusion Spell in two ways, but the motion of so many seem hard unless one has enough magic to do it.

“I recall hearing Azuma was trying to perfect it, a special move that uses both works of transformation & the use of the Xros Fusion Spell, but he has to have all of them share the same strength of 100 percent.” Goldie stated off to mention in what the guy has to do in order to insure, that such a technique goes off without a hitch.

“But that’s crazy talk, he must have used up a lot of his strength, he might be lucky to just hold 25 or 50 percent left.” Starlight Glimmer protest in thinking that was too crazy to display the same strength in over five to ten thousand clones.

“Well you better pay close attention, cause this might be something related to Element Evolution too, which while I can do too, but I defiantly wanna see how this goes.” Pinkamena stated off that they watch what will happen, cause Azuma seems to have a plan to turn the tables here.

All eyes were focus entirely on what Azuma was about to unleash as many were wondering if an army won’t take down the powered up Tirek, will a secret technique the Clone Creator develop be the key…?

“All of you ready?” Azuma asked as he looked to the eyes of all of his clone replicas that showed the same determination as he did. “Then let’s begin….Transformation - Clone Prime!” He issued forth to say this while yelling out that last part…

Then without warning, Azuma & all of his clones roared off in unleashing their magic auras, many of the clones shot off in the air before coming down on…the original as they were…fusing. As the process was going on, a stronger glowing sphere dome began to be made, just before something of it was cleared away to reveal from the 10,000 army units, there stood only one; a transformed Azuma. The Alicorn stallion still looked the same, but he was seen wearing a red cloak jacket with a symbol that stands for ‘Clone Prime’ on it & he was unleashing a bright yellow/orange aura off his body. As friends & foe watch to behold, many could not believe what they were seeing…

“So, this is what you pride yourself on? You were better off with an army!” Centaur King Tirek remotely stated in not being so impressed by the change of the opponents.

But then without warning, Clone Prime vanished in a flash of glowing blur, then appeared above Centaur King Tirek.

“Violent - Adamantine Cyclone/Kickpowfruvhmm….” Then in that single motion, Clone Prime deals a severe roundhouse kick to the enemy….

“GRRUUOOAARURHGHH….” Centaur King Tirek was shot backwards almost twelve feet even for his height & heavy weight; that kick felt like the user’s body inherited superhuman strength with harden muscle strength.

“Next is….Morning Peacock!” Then what comes next was when Clone Prime kicked the enemy into the air, which seem to almost be an instant kill & seeing someone kick a giant body several yards upwards. “Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow-Pow…” Then Clone Prime jumps into the air in a distinctive stance & begins punching the enemy repeatedly. Everyone watched with surprise as the punches were so fast, they were set ablaze by sheer speed & friction which in turn creates a peacock-like fan of flames around the opponent. “Fruvhmm…Crashfruvhmmm….” Once the attack was finished, Centaur King Tirek was sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack’s aura.

“Woah…..I didn’t even know that Azuma could perform all of that!” Sunset exclaimed in surprise, she knows that Azuma was strong from being both an Alicorn & wielding an element, but this…blown her away.

“Apparently, the guy has been training hard, even from a breeze, I can feel….the change in the air!” Flash exclaimed in watching the battle & for some strange tingling feeling, the wind blown against him was like voices saying….who was stronger compared to the two & it was their friend.

“How Can This Be?” Centaur King Tirek protest in moving himself upwards to gaze at the transform opponent. “I have the power of a giant collection of Dark Stones!” He protest to state he has greater power from the source of great darkness aiding him.

“I told you….strength comes from others when united & now you will fall.” Clone Prime explained this with a serious tone in not giving his foe any choice but to face him.

“We shall see…” as Centaur King Tirek was exclaiming this he suddenly was making his body glow with a pitch of dark aura as he held his lance upwards. “Inferno Lance!/Powfruvhmmm….” Then he throws his lance at the opponent with extreme speed as it travels through the air. The lance begins to spin & builds up magical energy.

“Daytime Tiger!” Then Clone Prime places a front palm facing forward in front of his face with one hoof & then taps it with the other hoof, which was creating a massive amount of air pressure. Then without warning, launches the air pressure at the opponent i the shape of a tiger by leaving a gigantic tiger-shape impression into the initially built-up air pressure with the hoof. “GROOOUURRRUGHHH!” Then the air-pressure tiger unleashes a mighty roar wave as if attacking…

“Powwwfruvhhmmmm….” As both attacks were colliding, everyone watches as something was happening. Centaur King Tirek’s lance was acting like a drill to inflict extreme piercing damage against the air pressure that was condense when it was moving & was focused into a single point; both sides were in a tie of equal strength.

“They’re evenly match!” Radiant Hope exclaimed surprise in not knowing who was going to win this.

“Yes, but someone will have to give!” Umbrem exclaimed in knowing that someone will have to give in sooner or later.

“What is the meaning of this? My most deadly of force is not making any effort, even against the strongest opponent of three Alicorns!” Centaur King Tirek protest in seeing this, the opponent was not falling, it’s like his strength is even higher than he who has taken the magic of three Alicorns.

“Release your roar! Now!” Clone Prime exclaimed forth as he was pushing his technique even further until…..it broke the enemy’s lance to pieces.

“GROOUUARRRUGHH!” Soon the Daytime Tiger roared as it soon comes towards ifew
s target. “Krusssuuvhmmm….Kaboomfruvhmmm….” thrown in an instant, the technique’s contact explodes on command, releasing built up air pressure in an instant. “Yrruuaarrughhhh-ARRRUUAARUGHHH!” Centaur King Tirek lets off an agonizing scream, as his blurry image was covered by whiteness before his image was fading. “Crack-crqaack….Breaksfruvhmm….” Within the attack, the Dark Stones within the enemy’s chest started to crack until they were destroyed instantaneously from the overwhelming attack force.

“Powwfruvhmmm….” A massive explosion was created from the after effects of Daytime Tiger which was felt a significant distance away. Everyone that watch that feat of display were in almost awe-inspired reactions that Azuma had unleashed something….that insane that stop what even six ponies in Rainbow Forms might not have done? At the end of it all, a faded bunch of magic was seen leaving what was the darken form of Tirek, before slowly revealing it to be…the weaken form of Alternate Tirek again. And standing over the defeated enemy was Prime Clone near a busted giant horn that belong to the enemy. Afterwards, Clone Prime slowly reverted back into being Azuma, as the rest of the group slowly approached him.

“That….Was…AWESOME!” Rainbow Dash slowly spoke off in having seen that which left her to be surprised by what happened even to an even more powered up form of Tirek.

“Heck, ye sure pulled one over de guy’s head.” Applejack smiled off in thanking Azuma for what he just pulled that saved their bacon.

“Yeah, that there kind of strength was CRAZY Good!” Pinkie Pie smiled off to say this with a lot of excitement in having seen what stopped Centaur King Tirek.

“Hmmm.” Azuma held his head from feeling some slight dizziness at the moment from what happened.

“Oh my, you’re not still hurt, are you Azuma?” Fluttershy asked in seeing that Azuma seem like something was wrong.

“No, just….need more practice with that form is all. Had to use up every last bit of strength to destroy that massive size Dark Stone…” Azuma shook his head in stating how what he used, he needs to develop it more as while it did help the gang out, he needs to make sure he is not completely spent out.

“Well, at least it’s over with.” Rarity smiled off to say this in looking on the brighter side of things.

“Wait, what about this horn?” Sunset pointed to see the busted giant horn nearby to notice something.

Suddenly, the giant busted horn was magically transforming that from a bright light, it reverted to take the appearance of…a glowing rainbow color sphere.

“The horn turn into a sphere.” Flash raised an eyebrow in seeing what has happened here.

“Wait…I can feel it.” Starlight Glimmer spoke to approach the sphere to use her horn’s magic to sense what the thing is. “The collected magic in here, it feels like….everything is individual, but merge to be one.” She explained from having understood what this thing was, a collection of different magic formed into one.

“That must be the source of what Alternate Tirek used to take the magic from his own timeline.” Jack Zen stated off in realizing what this was that could explain its strong form of magical energy.

“And now with Alternate Tirek defeated, & detain possible, what should we do with this orb filled with collected magic from another world’s timeline?” Omega asked off in what they should do with the object that is within their grasp.

“All this power…with it, anyone could become so strong just now. No one could stop the one who wields this.” Starlight Glimmer spoke off in approaching to study this magic collection sphere that has so much power, it almost feels…tempting.

Hearing that made those around Starlight feel concern if the reform unicorn was thinking about what they think she will do. However, Starlight did something else as she made the sphere hover near…Twilight.

“But….it wouldn’t be right. This collection of magic rightfully belongs to the creatures Tirek stole it all from.” Starlight Glimmer stated off to honestly say this in knowing that this magic source was not theirs to take.

“Wait, are you saying that….you don’t want the power?” Fila asked a bit surprised, she almost thought giving up such power was not something someone that was so close to obtaining it would do normally.

“What good would having this much power do, I almost lost myself in believing the words of those that said might makes right with power at their side.” Starlight Glimmer sadly was stating this off to look sad about what she believed meant to be true by enemies was a set of lies. “I’m not trustworthy to keep this, therefore, it should be in capable hooves of those that KNOW how to handle it without losing themselves.” She issued off in feeling that Twilight & the others were far better at making sure so much power would not corrupt them.

Everyone around seem to show different responses in seeing that, Starlight Glimmer has truly shown something of being capable of being redeem now.

“Starlight, you are trustworthy & you just showed that you are a better pony by not letting something like this make you give up being yourself.” Twilight approach to pat Starlight’s shoulder to smile this off in giving this words of sincerity. “You’ve just shown many that you have changed.” She issued off that what Starlight has done in not being selfish with so much magic before her proves what she has done.

Starlight Glimmer smiled in having heard this; that was something that made her feel very happy to hear since she was trying to become a better friend.

“It is as Twilight says, Starlight Glimmer.” Celestia spoke off to say this about the pony’s acts of being better.

“You are a better pony than you know.” Luna exclaimed off to say how Starlight is better than she believes.

“Oh, so touching, but maybe we can save this back at Rainbow Castle, shall we?” Discord exclaimed off to say this in feeling that this sort of thing was so touching, that maybe they can save more of it at Rainbow Castle.

“Agreed…” Ben nods off to agree, after finally having things finished here, they can now head on home.

With that in mind, Discord decided to use his magic to just snap his fingers to make everyone here, even a now captured Alternate Tirek be taken away now in a magic poof cloud. With this now settled, the scene begins to fade out now as what will happen next will be a likely closure in the end….

Author's Note

NOTES: Centaur King Tirek’s appearance is based on Speed King Skull Flame from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s series.

Now we have finally reach the finale of the battle against the alternate villains. In the final chapter, the gang meet back at Rainbow Castle, in order to discuss some further plans about what to do with the captured alternate villains. The talk may even bring up what many saw Starlight Glimmer did in that feat of bravery. And what’s this, a Captain Rexstrike has come to see his brother who is….Well, you’ll have to wait & see shortly soon what happens next…
