Encore of Darkness: Sunset's Burning Crescendo

[The Canterlot City Stadium]

"LET'S DANCE"/"LET'S ROCK!" Shouted they opposing side of light and darkness as they began their grand battle, their rematch, their encore and the Banshee's intended to go for broke or die. The Rainbooms were new and fresh in their power save for Sunset as she'd gotten some combat experience while training under Celestia with her spells but other than that none of the other girls knew how to completely use their powers so this would be their first official field test and they were outnumbered thanks to the Banshee's summoning a multitude of grunts for them to battle on the side like any spineless coward villain would do but The Banshee's simply did it to even the odds as well as toy with the Rainboom's intent on pushing them to their limits even if they were green.

Knowing that this moment might have come sooner than later Sunset; when creating the amulets had integrated various different magical algorithms into the core of the harmony matrix that would enable the girls a wide variety of skills once they'd activated the amulets and began using their magic. One of those things was combat ability with Sunset having taking recorded magical data from various combat tomes both Equestrian and human giving the girls a near infinite number of martial art styles to choose from as well as knowledge of all forms of weaponry and their use.  The amulets magic also increased their intelligence, awareness, all of their senses and as seen with Pinkie, Rainbow and Sunset, granted each girl a power that was tailored special to them as well as giving each of them their own custom special weapon that's powered purely by their magic and manifest out of the different parts of the girls outfits depending on where their cutie mark is on their armor.

The Banshee were no slouches either, reborn with the power of the darkness they'd been given immunity to all earthly forms of harm and inhibition of emotions and feelings like fear, doubt, hesitation, remorse, sympathy and pain. They were wilder berserk like fighters, not giving their foes a single chance to breathe and struck strong and fast and would often even use their earsplitting voices to aid them in battle by deafening the enemy. They'd even each been given the ability to manipulate sonic vibrations and waves of sound which in of itself was a very dangerous power if used to try and kill. Each of the Banshee had a hellish and dual purpose weapon that aided them in battle.

"Come little pony! Come and play with me like old times!"

Howled Crescendo with a malefic grin on her face as she dashed forward through the grass, her spiked heeled boots moving at incredible speed as they kicked up the dirt and she leaped into the air and spun around unsheathing her long blade and whipping around in a circle as she spun downward on Sunset Shimmer who was barely able to put up a force field fast enough to block her attack.  The other girls far to occupied with the other Banshee and the grunts to do anything; Crescendo loved to have her alone time with her prey.

As her blade clashed against the golden barrier that came forth from Sunset's cutie mark that was on a bracelet on her wrists; Crescendo's smile turned to an evil sneer as she licked her black painted lips.

"I'm gonna make you scream little filly!! hahahahahaha!"

With a flick of her wrist on the blades handle, the blade itself began to morph, forming jagged and sharp edges along the long purple and black obsidian like blade that matched her armor in style. As the different parts of the blade sectioned off to form a spiked whip much like that of Ivy's blade from Soul Calibur and it looked like a spiked spinal cord with a purple glowing center.

"Come here little pony!" She bellowed as she yanked Sunset toward her and as Sunset hurdled toward her she struggled to try and break the grip of the blade's against her shield as they were beginning to leak through it and Sunset was quick to notice the blade was drenched in a dripping black poison as well. When she reached Crescendo she was thrown into a tree with heavy force snapping it in half and then she felt the chain like blade got taught  and Crescendo sneered evilly and yelled.

"I wanna hear you scream!!!"

She let loose a sonic scream of her own that was complimented by an erratic and visible wave of orange and black sonic energy that blew Sunset back as she put up another shield to defend herself as she crashed into the stage making a large dent as she impacted the wood and metal. Crescendo put a hand on her hip and swung and twirled her sword in its whip mode menacingly as she strutted up to Sunset and she even lewdly licked the individual blades of the whip and lapped up the poison that leaked from it.

"I'm going to enjoy plunging Wailing Cadence into your heart little pony..." She said in a lustful evil husk as she flicked her tongue on each blade in a lewd manner. "I'm going to take so much pleasure in hear your screams...your pleas and begs for mercy...and how delicious it'll be when i deny you all of it!" She snapped and narrowed her eyes in contempt and lustful longing.

"And once master has your light? I'm going to toy with you...torture you...break you...make you mine! My little pony to adore and to serve me like all scum of the creation should!" She hissed as Sunset Shimmer began to stand up and while was a bit banged up she was far from down for the count.

"Yes, stand bitch...stand and take your punishment! Show me what you have! Don't make this too easy for me little pony! I wanna enjoy this dance of ours!" Howled Crescendo at Sunset and Sunset spat her blood from her mouth as her hair mattered her face to the ground and Crescendo hummed in amusement. "Oh? Ready to play now are we? Well don't keep me wai-"

"Do you ever shut up or  do you just love hearing yourself talk? I know after we kicked your ass the first time we fucked up your voices but horseapples your annoying..."  Sunset shook her head as some of her old snark came out after getting tossed around like that and she thought to herself 'Okay bitch...Now I'm mad'  and brought up her arm and the brace that bore her cutie mark and summoned a blade that was red and gold and the hilt had her cutie mark on it with two phoenix wings on the side to show the difference in its transformed state. It was a thin broad sword with golden accents and magical markings across the base of the blade and as Sunset gripped and twirled it around it caught fire of a golden hue and she pointed it as Crescendo.

"You wanna dance? Fine...Let's dance!" She said charging in with her blade Burning Phoenix .

"Now we're talkin'!" Crescendo yelled with devious glee as she charged in herself again, her sword now back in its blade mode instead of its whip mode as  the two girls charged at one another and when they finally met, they clashed and a shockwave of fire and darkness emitted from them which even took out a few of the stone grunts that were in the way of the clash. The metal scraping together they locked eyes and Crescendo giggled sinisterly and with her other hand formed a ball of soundwaves and tried to plunge it into Sunset's chest but Sunset brought her magic on her left arm and from the brace there came a shield that was like a holographic light projection of her cutie mark that acted as a shield and it deflected the soundwaves  enough but it still pushed them back from one another.

"I'm not gonna let you hurt my friends or anyone else!" Sunset said slashing a wave of fire at her enemy  but she managed to dodge it and laugh.

"Poor little pony...so much light and so little idea how to use it...you think you can defeat me by being so weak? Ha! Your all just making this far too easy." She said with a dismissive wave of a hand. "If this is all you have master will have your light in no time..."

"And just who is this 'master' you keep yammering on about?"

"Ah, ah ,ah little filly no spoilers..."

"Can we get a hin-" Pinkie asked in the distance and Crescendo yelled

"NO SPOILERS!" She voice rang in a demonic rumble.

"Fine by me, I'm a smart pony so I'll find out...and when I do...we WILL stop you just like last time..." Sunset narrowed her eyes at the evil Banshee not taking her eyes off her for even a second as she was ready to defend herself

"We'll see about that little pony...now come...let's continue our little duet while my baby sisters play with your friends!" Crescendo snapped and prepared to attack again and continue her vicious duet of battle with the object of her obsession and the center of all her wrath.
