ESF: The Final Battle

As soon as we all got outside, Comet and Galaxy were locked in deep combat. Galaxy was fighting Comet with the First Blade, while Comet was using a six foot long curved blade. Crystal gulped. A scythe. The blade was blended between two metals, angel steel and Stygian iron. Galaxy parried Comet's swipe and dived for an attack. The scythe grazed Galaxy's shoulder, causing him to drop the First Blade and grab his shoulder. Comet chuckled. "Who would've thought that my scythe would be your destruction?" He chuckled. Scythea pulled me aside and tried to knock some sense into me.

"Mocha, listen to me. You've got to fight that Haggarium inside you." He explained. I wouldn't listen and I kept struggling. "Mocha, the Haggarium is controlling you. You can purge it, but you've got to fight it! Galaxy's about to be killed and he needs all of us!" He told me. I gasped. I looked at Galaxy and the purple drained out of my eyes for a second. I looked at Icy and almost began crying.

"Scy....." I said tearfully. "Help me......" I pleaded. I didn't need to say anymore. Scy gently placed his lips against mine and kissed me lovingly. I pulled away and threw my head up as the Haggarium infusion purged itself from my body, entering Comet. The cloak fell off and my eyes were back to a chocolate brown. I gasped, smiled, and hugged my colt-friend. "I love you, Icy...." I told him. He hugged me back and smiled. "Now let's kick Comet's ass!" I shouted. Icy turned to the group.

"Alright, let's do this thing!" He shouted. Everypony cheered and began charging at Comet. Comet gulped and took to the air. Galaxy's shoulder was still bleeding, but he took to the air and fought his brother.

"Galaxy, no! You're injured! You could die just from fighting!" Crystal pleaded. Galaxy tackled Comet and dived him into the ground.

"I'm sorry, Crys, but this is something I have to do! Comet is not winning this time!" He explained. Castiel understood what Galaxy was doing. Comet swung his scythe again, leaving a gash on Galaxy's cheek. Galaxy took the pain and kept going. Quillton was in awe.

"His magic can only help for so much longer! His heart-rate is reaching critical mass!" He said. Soul ran forward.

"Run away, Galaxy! What is he doing?!" She exclaimed. Celestia pushed forward.

"He's protecting us from Comet!" She replied. Comet growled and kept fighting Galaxy. Comet's scythe was causing critical damage to Galaxy. He was cut practically everywhere but his legs and wings.

"Comet is not getting away this time!" Galaxy shouted. "Quillton! Mocha!" He called. "Take care of Crystal and Melody for me!" He asked. Crystal gasped.

"Galaxy, no! If you keep fighting, you'll die!!!" Crystal screamed. Comet finally realized what Galaxy was doing. The cuts were suddenly filled with a white light.

"What're you doing?! You'll destroy yourself!" Comet shouted. Galaxy then grabbed him. "What!" He exclaimed. "Let me go, you idiot!" He demanded. Galaxy looked Comet dead in the eye.

"That's why I'm taking you with me!" Galaxy told him. Comet struggled to get free, and the light only grew brighter. Galaxy's eyes glowed a brilliant white. Comet's eyes narrowed in fear.

"Are you insane!" Comet shrieked. "You'll kill us both!" He shouted. Galaxy smirked.

"Like I said to you before, I'll do anything to defeat you, even if it costs me my life!" Galaxy shouted. Crystal couldn't watch. She and Melody turned away. Comet gulped.

"No. No! Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Comet screamed before he and Galaxy both exploded in a brilliant white light. When it was gone, both Galaxy and Comet were gone. Crystal took off and screamed.

"GALAXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The purple pegasus screamed in a cry of sadness and pain. She flew towards me and tackled me in a hug. "He's....he's gone!!" She cried into my shoulder. I patted Crystal's back. Suddenly, A blur of blue was falling from the sky. I gasped.

"Oh my Faust, he survived!" I exclaimed with joy. Crystal squee'd with delight. That's when we realized it.

"He's not slowing down!" Quillton yelped. Castiel took off and caught Galaxy, landing gently and placing him on the grass. Galaxy's eyes were closed and his cuts were slowly healing. Crystal trotted up and knelt down next to Galaxy, laying her head on his chest.

"Honey?" She asked, her eyes full of tears. "Galaxy?" She asked again. As she turned her head away, she heard a mumbling from Galaxy, causing her to turn her head back and listen. "Hmm?" She asked hopefully. She gasped as Galaxy muttered something.

"Remind me never to do that again." Galaxy groaned, his eyes opening and sitting up. Crystal squealed with delight and connected her lips to Galaxy's, kissing him. Galaxy was taken back for a second before he kissed her back. The couple shared a twelve second passionate kiss before they broke apart, both of the pegasai blushing. Quillton clapped Galaxy on the back.

"Good to see you're still in one piece, buddy." He chuckled. Galaxy chuckled as well. "So, Comet?" He asked. He was right. That was the question on everypony's mind. Galaxy smirked.

"Let's just say we won't be hearing from my brother anymore." The blue pegasus told us. All of us cheered in delight, celebrating the victory.

1 week later..........

"OK, keep it coming! Keep it coming! Good!" Galaxy told a crane operator that was putting in a new sign for my coffee shop. It was now named Icy Mocha. Me and Sycthea loved the name. Both of us were outside staring at the sign. "Well guys, what do you think?" Galaxy asked, standing next to me. I hugged him.

"I love it, Galaxy." I smiled. Scythea put a hoof around me.

"Icy Mocha, I like it." He chuckled. "Sounds like the name of a coffee." He joked. I giggled. Crystal was there with Melody. Mel hugged her father.

"So, sweetie, what now?" Crystal asked. Galaxy shrugged.

"Honestly? No idea. I mean, Equestria is safe now that Comet and Nightmare Moon are gone. I guess....." Galaxy sighed, "we move on to our normal lives. I continue working at Icy Mocha, Quill's gone off for journalism, Sunset a voice actress, and Soul a Rock 'N Roll singer." Galaxy replied. Crystal smiled.

"Well, you're not working the coffee shop alone, honey. Since Mel's 16 now, she can legally work at the shop with us." Crystal giggled. Galaxy's jaw dropped. "Yep, Icy Mocha is about to get some new staff members." She kissed her husband's cheek, who was still in a state of shock. I giggled. Life in Equestria was peaceful finally, all thanks to Galaxy and the gang. During his free time, Castiel taught Galaxy how to control his angel powers and put them to good use should Equestria be attacked again. What happened? Oh, we all went on to live normal lives. Galaxy found out Crystal made Nightmare Moon kill herself, which he flipped out over. That one gave me a good laugh. Oh, me and Scythea? Well, we've been officially dating for about 5 years now and Scy is helping me take care of Frosty. Celestia and Luna went back to rule Canterlot. So, all in all, no matter how high the stakes, good always triumphs over evil.

Oh, you're wondering if anything happened after Comet's demise? Well, that would be spoilers, now wouldn't it? Late that night, I was closing up shop when Scy surprised me. "Oh! Scy, you startled me." I said. My coltfriend chuckled.

"Sorry about that, Mochy." He nuzzled me. "I was just running an errand." He explained. That's when he got down on one knee and used his magic to levitate a small box. I was confused, until he opened it. Inside was a small golden ring. I gasped, putting a hoof to my mouth. "Mochy, will you make me the happiest stallion in Ponyville and....marry me?" He asked. My eyes were filled with tears of happiness.

"Oh Scy." I sniffed, taking the ring. "Yes. A thousand times Yes!" I exclaimed, hugging him tightly. I kissed his cheek gently and smiled, hugging him. Scy hugged me as well. Soon, our big day would take place, and I was happy.
