ESF: The Final Battle

Valerium scanned the room, looking at us, then me. "What's the matter, Mochy? Not happy to see me?" He asked. I growled.

"What are you doing here, you bastard?" I demanded. Valerium chuckled. Galaxy was up now, a look of pure hatred on his face.

"What, I can't stop by and see my ex?" He asked. Icy was pissed as well. Me and Galaxy had both told him what Valerium had did to me. That made him hate my ex almost instantly. Galaxy noticed a small, crimson red pentagram on Val's cloak.

"He works for my brother!" He exclaimed, his eyes narrowing in fear. Valerium chuckled.

"Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Comet took me on as his, ah, "go to" pony for errands and deliveries." He smirked. "Plus, Nightmare Moon has been teaching me some new spells." He added. "Like this one for example." He said, his horn glowing. "Conjunctivitis!" Val shouted, aiming at Galaxy. Galaxy took the blast and yelped in pain.

"Galaxy!" Crystal cried, running to her husband. "Honey, are you alright?!" She exclaimed. Galaxy was on the floor, with a leg over his eyes.

"Ah! That damn spell got my eyes! I think they're damaged!" He told us. I turned to Valerium, a look of hatred on my face.

"What did you do?!" I demanded. Quillton stepped forward.

"He cast a spell that damages the target's eyesight. Since the spell was aimed at Galaxy......" His voice trailed off. Crystal was shocked.

"Is it permanent?!" She exclaimed. Quillton sadly nodded.

"Sadly, yes. It damages your vision. There's no guarantee way that Galaxy will have clear 20/20 vision again." He explained. Crystal turned on Valerium and lunged. Val side stepped, causing Crystal to nearly hit the wall. Thankfully, she used her hooves to skid across the floor into me. I caught her and helped her back up. Castiel was with Galaxy, trying to protect him. It was me, Quillton, Crimson, Crystal, Soul, Icy, and Sunset vs Valerium. Val was very skilled when it came to spells.

"Val!" I shouted. He turned to me and looked at me curious. "I challenge you to a magic duel!" I demanded. Val laughed and accepted. The only rule was the last pony standing wins. Val raised an eyebrow.

"The stakes?" He asked me. I swallowed, taking a deep breath.

"If you win, you get me." I told him. His mouth curved into a smirk.

"Against?" Val asked me. This time, my mouth curved into a smirk.

"I win, you leave and you fix Galaxy's eyesight." I demanded. Valerium nodded for he accepted the terms. Everypony stood far enough back for me and Val to have room. We took the battle outside because I didn't want to damage my shop. "Confundus!" I shouted, trying to put a confusing charm on my ex. He ducked from my spell and began to cast his.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Val shouted, trying to bind my body into a stiff position. Being the agile unicorn I was, I jumped in the air and flipped, landing back on my hooves. Val smirked. "Impressive." He said, beginning to cast another spell. "Stupefy!!" Val shouted, trying to knock me out. I ducked and blasted a counter spell at him.

"Tarantallegra!" I shouted, hitting Val square in the chest. Suddenly, his legs began to move uncontrollably, as if he was being forced to dance.

"What the Hell?!" He demanded, dancing uncontrollably. The spell soon wore off after we all got a good giggle. Val's horn lit up green. Quillton's eyes narrowed.

"I know this spell. Mocha, look out!" He warned me. I gulped. Val chuckled.

"Say goodbye, Mochy. Avada Kedavra!!"" Val shouted, a bright green blast of energy blasting out of his horn. Galaxy jumped in at the last second and took the blast, falling to the ground, un-moving. Val was impressed. "Hmm, always knew Galaxy would sacrifice his life for his friends." He scoffed. I was too preoccupied with looking at Galaxy that Val's next spell caught me off guard. "Expelliarmus!" Val shouted, his spell catching me off guard and knocking me onto the ground. I tried to get up, but Val stood over me. "Ah ah, bad move." He smirked. The gang tried to move forward, but Val's horn was glowing green and pointed at me. "One move, she dies." He told them.

"It's OK guys, take care of Galaxy!" I told them before me and Valerium vanished into thin air. We appeared at Canterlot in the throne room, but it had changed. The walls were now purple, and the throne black. All of the tiled walls now showed Comet instead of Celestia and Luna. Comet himself was in the throne, Nightmare Moon at his side. His eyes glowed a dark purple instead of red.

"Welcome, Mocha." He said. His voice sounded like his normal voice, but there was an evil force behind it, like it was Comet, but it wasn't Comet. I gasped when I saw the small vial Comet was holding in his hooves. "Ah yes, you see the vial, I see. Good work, Valerium. Leave us." He ordered. My ex nodded and left the throne room with Nightmare Moon.

"Why am I here?" I demanded. Comet smirked.

"Simple, Mochy. I'm building an army to conquer Equestria. The whole "destroying the sun" plan seemed a bit premature, didn't it? Making an army of ponies infected with Haggarium is so much more fun!" He cackled. I was confused.

"Haggarium?" I asked. Comet nodded.

"Yes. Named after the witch that served King Sombra 1,000 years ago, Haggar. It is her very essence. All of it the stashes depleted, save for Dragon's Cove. Thanks to Garble and his dragons, I have enought to make an army!" He explained. "I think I'll call my army....The "Nightmare Comet." No, that's no good." Comet groaned. He pondered. "Ah ha! The "Dark Nebula!" There! Yes! Perfect!" He laughed. I was appalled.

"You've completely lost your mind!" I shouted. Comet looked at me.

"Oh, silly Mocha." He chuckled. "My mind was already twisted and broken!" He explained to me. I gulped. Comet was actually serious, and for once, it looked like he might just succeed in ruling Equestria.
