(At Twilight’s Castle)

Pure Twilight watched as the sun rise over the town, slowly lighting up the roads. She saw two ponies standing in the center of town. She smile. “That’s a smart girl.” Pure thought. She walk to the door and saw the group all starting to get up too. “Your friend was wise. She is waiting outside with what I want. Good news, you’ll live to possibly be hostages another day. I don’t understand why she allows herself getting close to such weak beings. I should, I’m technically her.”

Pure headed towards the door and took one last look at the group. “I won’t move if I were you. If she tries to pull something, you won’t know what pain I’ll put you all through. Wish me luck.” She open the door and walk out towards the town’s center. Applejack walk to the window and look to the scene.

“What have you dun, sugarcube?” Applejack wonder out loud.

(At the Town square.)

“So you brought me Starlight. I have to say, I kind of expect you to try to betray me or be noble. I’m glad you prove me and your friends wrong.” Pure said as she approach the pair. Twilight show no reaction and neither did Starlight. “That was weird. Neither of them have said a word.” Pure thought but brush it off as them realizing that she not some pony to mess with. She also notice the town folk were still in town. “I figure they clear out.”

“I have brought you Starlight Simmer like you wanted, Master” Twilight respond.

“And that’s good. Now, we…” Pure started, then pause. “Wait, I thought you said her name was Glimmer and when did you start calling me “Master”?

Both Twilight and Starlight both look at each other nervously.

“That what I said, Farsight Glimmer.” Twilight said, starting to sweat.

“You said her name wrong twice, what is wrong… Oh I see.” Pure said, starting to back up. “You should know that five different Twilights try this trick and it all ended badly.” She look around for her true target.

“The pest wasn’t wrong, you have really lost your mind.”
Pure Twilight turn to see Queen Chrysalis standing where Twilight once stood. Pure smile at this little gesture. “You should have just given me what I wanted. Now this world will die!” She shouted, jumping back to fire a spell at the Queen. She felt something tackle from both sides.
“For our Queen!” Several changelings shout as they piled on her. She created a shield and blast them all off her.

“All right, so her army is here too. Only two of the Twilights were able to pull that off. Still, this will only take a few…” Before she could finish the thought, she was hit hard from the left side, flying into a small house. She felt the wall give in and collapsed on top of her. As she push off some stones off her and look to see a large, black hoof.

“Twilight Sparkle, ready for your reckoning?” Tirek said, cracking his knuckles. Pure jump up onto the roof and started charging her attack.

“Okay, how did she get both of them to fight me? I never fought them at the same time. Still, no matter. It’s going to take more than these two to slow me down.” She thought, firing a spell right into Tirek’s face. He block it but it allow Pure to teleport right above him and start another spell. This aim to kill. But right before she fired it off, a small blast hit her in the face. She miss and blew up the ground next to Tirek. She flip in the air was about to try again but another force hit her in the back, throwing into ground ungracefully.

“What is going on? Who is hitting me?” She scream in her head as she dodge some kind of projectile. It cause air to ripple and was shape like a cannon ball, same size too. When it made contact, it release a loud noise that rip through the air and Pure. It sounded like music turn up too loud. “Who is doing this?”

She look to the source of the attack to see two large speaker-like cannons in the distance, aim at her. Behind them was a white unicorn with headphone behind the about to press a button.

“You have got to be kidding me!” Pure scream, bringing up a shield.

“Drop the bass!” Vinyl scream, smashing the button. A blast headed right for Pure but she brought up her shield just in time, causing it to explode in mid-air. The explosion send a dust cloud over her, blinding her temporally.

“I’m getting really tired of this.” Pure growl as the dust started to settle. The dust suddenly started to turn in a darker color until it was pitch black.

“We’re just getting started.” A voice growl in her ear. She turn to see King Sombra was forming around her, raising a giant sword. He took a swing at her, aiming at her head. She duck and roll out of the way, allowing her to face all three of her attacker at once. She didn’t know how this happen but she was going to have fun with this.

“Alright, I’m going to give you all one chance to live. Leave now.” Pure said, as the three started to move closer. They didn’t even pause to consider her offer. She smiled and open her pack. “I was hoping for that answer.”

Pure pull out two twin blades out of the pack, each as sharp as talons. One was a bright red, forge out the armor of a fallen King Sombra. The other blade was ice blue, made from Nightmare Moon’s armor. She twirl them with her magic and slice through the air. “Well, then by all means. Let the battle begin.” Pure said, waving her right hoof in a ‘come at me’ motion.

King Sombra and Tirek both charge at her, fist and sword raised in the air. Pure jump over them and was going to swing her sword but stop when she saw a swarm of the changelings heading right to her, all armed with swords, daggers, and spears. She instead dive right into them, taking the swarm head on. The sounds of metal clanging and blades against flash were heard until she dropped on the ground.

There was a pause as she stood there, not even sweating. Then the bodies of changelings foot soldiers started to rain to the ground, all dead and broken. Pure fling her swords clean of all the blood she collect in the swarm. She saw King Sombra, Tirek and Queen Chrysalis all look in shock at the carnage. “Alright, who’s next?” She ask, aiming the blades at them. King Sombra let out a roar and charge at her.

“I’m King Sombra! A warrior who have fought countless armies and brought the princesses to a standstill. I will not be made a fool by some renegade unicorn who defied their teacher. I will bring untold suffering to this land and you will bow…” He started until a loud slicing noise cut him off. Right in front of him, Pure was standing there, her sword deep in his shoulder.

“You don’t want to know how many time I’ve that heard speech before. Odd? You think one version would have change that speech.” She said, starting to twist the blade into King Sombra’s body. He let out a roar and threw her back, drawling his sword again.

“You will not win this battle. I will mount your head on my castle wall!” He said, charging at her with full speed. Pure ready herself for the strike but felt a stabbing pain in her left shoulder. She look to see that the wound from earlier had re-open and was bleeding. She let this distract her just a second but it allowed King Sombra to gain the upper hoof. He swing down on her, barely hitting her. She flip through the air but felt something roll off her shoulder.

She look to see her friend was out of the pack, soaring across the air and landing on the dirt. It rolled away and came to a stop a few feet away from her. She landed, then started heading for Moon Dancer. She had to keep her safe, keep from being harm. Just as she was about to grab it, a large hoof landed onto of it. The crunching noise that follow echo inside Pure, blocking out all other noise in the world.

“No.” Pure mutter, looking at the hoof that had destroy her friend. “No. No. NO! NOOOOOOOOO!”

“Insignificant little worm, caring about a little trinket.” Tirek mutter, rising a fist. “That is why you lose this battle.” He brought his fist down on Pure, flatting it to the ground.

(The valley across from Ponyville)

“Looks like the battle is over.” Octavia said, holding a pair of binoculars. She just saw Tirek land the fist right on top of Pure and seem to crush her. She turn to see Vinyl was packing up her speaker. “Now, all we have to worry about is those three.”

A zipper noise was sounded as Discord appeared in front of the two. They expected a joke but Discord had a scared look on his face. This unnerve the two almost instantly.

“We have to get out of here. Now!” He said, making a door appear. He fling it open and grab Octavia. “Why are you even here?” Asking Octavia while lifting her up.

“Everypony knows you need a spotter to hit long, ahhh!” She started before Discord threw her inside.

“What are you talking about? The battle is over!” Vinyl shouted as he picked her up. Discord turn to where the battle was taking place.

“Yes, the battle is over. But they didn’t win.” Discord said calmly. “I’ll stay here and try to buy more time.”

(Back at the battle.)

Tirek smile over his kill. He felt a sense of accomplishment and an almost warm feeling wash over him. Especially in his hand, the hand he used to crush… The warm feeling quickly erupt into a blinding pain. Before he could move, his hand erupted into a fine mist of blood and flash. He roared in pain and hold the stump that was once his hand as he stumble onto the ground, slowly shrinking into his weaken form.

“This game is over.” Pure said. She lift her twin sword and turn to Queen Chrysalis. “Your turn.”

Before Chrysalis could react, Pure dive at her and started to swing. The blades made their marks, cutting into her quickly. Chrysalis cry out in pain and try to block the swords but they all came down too quickly. In a few seconds, Chrysalis laid on the ground, gasping and bleeding profusely. She look up to see Pure walking towards her, no emotion on her face.

“Wait, spare me! It was your pet dragon! He wanted to betray you! I just wanted to save my kind.” Chrysalis beg, crawling away as fast as she could. Pure made no remarks as she approach the whimpering foe. She brought the blade up to Chrysalis chest.

“I don’t have a pet dragon.” Pure replied coldly before driving the sword straight into her heart. Chrysalis let out a dying gasp as the light left her eyes. Pure kick the body off her sword and turn to her last opponent, King Sombra. She raised her blade even with him, her eyes not moving for a second.

“Are you ready for a warrior’s death, child?” King Sombra ask, raising his sword in a defensive pose.

“Death is something mortals fear. I lost that fear a long time ago.” Pure answered. With that, she jump at him. The swords connected in air, producing a metallic song. The movements were quick and powerful, causing sparks to fly in the air. Neither of them giving up ground or seeming to flinch. The swords were growing red hot and were about to break at any moment.

Pure finally let up her attack by jumping back only to do several quick runs at Sombra. He block them all but felt his sword starting to give in. He need to change tactic or this battle was hers. He started to back away but timed it poorly. It allowed Pure more room for a charged attack and more force. She back away once more and swing her full force into the attack. It connected with his sword and went into it. The sword broke with a sickling crack and bury itself in Sombra’s chest.

Sombra let out a painful gasp as he collapsed to the ground. Pure calmly walk over to him and grab ahold of his head.

“So, are you ready for a warrior’s death?” She whisper into his ear. Sombra look up to her, still trying to raise his shatter sword. Pure easily kick the sword away. “Good. I wasn’t going to give it to you.” Pure summon the spell to drain the rest of Sombra’s life. He disappear as the spell completely drain him. Pure pick up her swords and turn to see Tirek crawling away, holding what was left of his arm. He was quickly losing the power and was going to die in a minute.

Pure landed right on top of Tirek, making him scream in pain. She bury her sword into his front leg, pinning him to the ground.

“I usually drain you but I need to know how she pull this off before I tear this world into shreds. Since I kill the other two, I need to read your mind.” Pure said, twisting the sword in deeper. She cast her spell and dove in deep in Tirek’s memory. It didn’t take long to find the information she needed. She concentrate for a few minutes then her eyes went wide, causing Tirek’s head to explode from the sudden influx of energy.

Pure turn around violently, scanning the area. She finally found what she was looking for and shot like a bullet in the direction. She stop in front of a tree and shot it with a magic bolt. A yelp of pain came out and Discord pop out of the tree.

“You know, you could of just, ahhh!” Discord was thrown to the ground. He felt a hoof began to press against his head.

“She told you to do this, didn’t she?” Pure interrogated. “You know, I figure after the multiple times!” She shouted as she snap Discord’s lion paw. He gritted his teeth in an effort to be quiet. “You think that one of these version of me would just listen to me! Well, the ones I ask to do anything anyway. Maybe it was one of the ones I slaughtered. Boy, ain’t my face red!” She concluded this with breaking his dragon leg. He groan again in pain.

“What I got to know is, why haven’t I seen you before?” Pure asked, putting more pressure on his head with her hoof, burying his face in the dirt.

“Maybe if you explored more worlds then destroy them, we would have met…” Discord started but was cut off by getting slam in the stomach.

“And I don’t care.” Pure said, kicking him in the stomach. He slide on the dirt to a stop. Before he could even get up, Pure slammed on top of him. She use her magic around his eagle claw and snap it into two. She grab him by the throat and lift him to her face. “And in a few seconds, I’m going to drain you of power and you won’t matter. And if I readed Tirek mind right, your powers are going to be fun.”

She started to cast the drain spell when Discord started to laugh. “What is so funny?” She ask, stopping the spell.

“It just, he he, I’m imagining those powers might help you on your world. You know, fix all the problems that there and such.” Discord giggled.

“What are you talking about? I’m not going back to my world.” Pure said.

“Well, not by choice.” Discord pointed out. “You see, while you were fighting the three amigos, a couple of ponies were working on a spell.” That was when Pure notice an annoying pulling feeling. She didn’t realize it but it started at the beginning of the battle. It was coming from the mountain area a few miles from Ponyville. She started to put the pieces together and was getting angrier.

“At this moment, they are probably about to finish the spell. Once they’re done, you’re done in this world and any other world. If I have to point out your biggest mistake, it was concentrating on those morons.” Discord said with a smile. Then added, “That or the stupid name.”

“I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!” Pure roar.

“You can try.” Discord respond. Pure threw him to the side. She cast a flying spell and started to head straight for the mountain. She’ll wreak revenge on them all after she deals with this. She need to stop this spell first.
