Princess Amity

Celestia charges at Triton with full force, and he in return charges at her. The princess points her horn at him in which Triton copies. Before the two ponies could collide though, Celestia uses her magic to teleport behind her cousin, then she uses her horn to stab him in his left flank. However, Triton with ease kicks Celestia in the abdomen which sends her flying into a wall.

Triton fires a dark magic sphere from his horn at her, but the princess dodges it and starts circling around the evil alicorn. Triton fires more magic spheres at her but misses. He then creates a bright flash from his horn blinding Celestia. When her vision recovers, Triton had disappeared.

Celestia's horn glows with a yellow aurora glowing around it then she swiftly throws the back of her left hoof behind her and hits Tritons head. He is knocked to the ground and sees Celestia flying above him, raising her front hooves in the air, and comes towards him quickky. The male alicorn teleports away as Celestia slams her hooves to the marble floor creating two massive hoof-prints. She turns to her right to see Triton part of his head the left side of his face swelling from Celestia's attack.

"Wow," Triton says, "looks like you want me dead."

Celestia responds, "No. I'm not going to kill you. You will submit, and once I do, I will send you to Tartarus where you can't escape."

Triton chuckles and says, "I'll just come back and you know that."

"Not as long as Cerberus is there," Celestia replies.

"That dog won't stop me," Triton continues. "...and neither will you."

She then jumps in the air, flapping her wings keepinh herself airborne, and fires a yellow magic beam from her horn at Triton who fires a black magic beam at her. The two beams collide with Triton quickly gaining the advantage pushing her back towards her. Knowing she cannot win this struggle, Celestia flies out of way of the opposing beam and heads upward towards the ceiling. Tritons black beam follows the princess but is unable to hit her. The princess then uses her magic to teleport herself in front of Triton. The blue alicorn swings his horn down at Celestia who uses her horn to block the attack causing the two to engage in a horn lock.

Despite Celestia using all of her strength, Triton pushes his cousin down with ease. "Just like old times," Triton taunts. Suddenly, Triton creates a beam for the tip of his horn which hits Celestia's back creating an intense burning pain in the middle of her spine, and with the beam burning her back, Celestia losses concentration on the horn lock allowing Triton to create a magic pulse from his horn which burns his cousin.

Celestia falls to the ground with burning fuses illuminating from her back, horn, and forehead. Triton walks to his injured opponent slowly but stops when she tries standing up. Celestia is then surrounded by Triton's black magic aurora and is thrown to the ceiling. Triton then slams her into the ceiling again and repeats this attack five times. After the fifth time, Triton releases Celestia who falls to the floor. The princess in tremendous agony twitches while lying on the floor. Triton approaches her with a devious smile on his face.

"Just as I predicted," Triton says to his cousin. "I knew you were never a match for me alone. It took you and Luna to defeat me the first time. Huh. I just thought of something: Where is Luna?" Celestia raises her upper torso and stares at Triton with an angry expression while breathing heavily. "It doesn't matter," Triton continues and then raises his upper half up and kicks Celestia in the chest forcing her back to the floor. "Once I'm done with you, I'll find Luna, kill her as well, then every pony in Equestria will know that I am the most powerful pony in the world. Now...DIE!" Triton still on his back legs arches his back with his front hooves together ready to strike Celestia on the ground.

Suddenly, one of the throne room stain glass windows breaks inward, and Triton looks and sees Bloodlust flying towards him in tremendous speed. However, before he could react, the intruder within a second brings her low half forward with her right leg extended and kicks Triton between his legs sending him to the ceiling and breaking through it. He lands on the roof of the throne room with his front hooves covering his crotch while tearing up and swearing in pain.

The white alicorn lands on the floor staring at the hole in the ceiling waiting for him. Celestia looks up at the mysterious alicorn. "You look like..." Celestia barely says, "Amity?"

The white alicorn looks down at the injured Celestia and responds with, "No. I am not her. I am Bloodlust."

Celestia's eyes shrink in shock. "No..." Celestia says aloud.

"Of course you couldn't be her," Triton says as he floats down to the floor from the hole. "Amity wasn't that strong. So, she finally embraced you, and now I can have the challenge I've been waiting for. By the way, no more cheap shots...especially down there, okay?"

The two alicorns stare each other down waiting for the other to make the first move. Triton stares with a sadistic, excited expression while Bloodlust stares with an angry, focused expression. Then, Bloodlust teleports herself in front of Triton and head-butts his chin from below, but Triton retaliates with a punch from his right front hoof and hits the side of her face. However, Bloodlust not affected by the attack strikes with a fury of punches of her own all over his face while breathing in and out with every punch, and when Triton tries to punch her again, Bloodlust slides under him and fires a powerful blood-red beam from her horn at his chest sending him into the air. Triton tries to attack her again but is tackled by the younger alicorn slammimg him into the ceiling. Bloodlust still holding him turns to the floor and crashes to it with Triton hitting back first. Triton strikes back uppercutting her and lifts Bloodlust by the waist with ease and while standing on his back legs slams her to the floor and repeats several times. He then lets her go and kicks her in the abdomen sending her a couple of feet away. Bloodlust then flies to Triton attempting to tackle him, but he creates a bright flash blinding her. When she regains her vision, Triton had vanished. She then closes her eyes and makes a blood-red aurora around it. She suddenly swings her horn around behind her. A bloody gash appears in the air, then Triton appears with a massive cut on his chest.

Triton looks at his opponent while breathing heavily and covering his wound says, "Clever girl."

Bloodlust mildly breathing heavily through her nose responds, "There's no point. You can't match me."

"Let me...ask you...something," Triton replies while catching his breath, "what will...killing me...accomplish?"

"Serving our purpose in life." Bloodlust answers. She darts her eyes to Celestia getting on all four hooves

Triton looks at Celestia as well and charges his horn at her, but Bloodlust shoots a red lightning bolt from her horn who dodges. Frustrated, Bloodlust fires several bolts at Triton who consistently dodges, and he dodges, he gets closer to the white alicorn. When he gets close enough, Triton's horn glows solid black and five small magical tentacles lash from the horn and wrap around Bloodlust with one around her neck and the other four each wrapping around each ankle. The tentacles lift the younger alicorn in the air, stretch her, squeeze tightly, and from Triton, light blue lightning bolts travel through the tentacles and start electrocuting her. Bloodlust yells in pain as Triton's electricity flows through her body.

Meanwhile, Celestia teleports herself out of the throne room and into a hallway with stained glass windows of previous events. At the end of the hall is a golden which Celestia approaches. She says aloud, "Triton, I gave you one chance to surrender and become the cousin I once loved, but you leave me no choice but to use these and Amity..." a tear streaks down her right cheek. In the middle of the door is a hole for which Celestia inserts her horn inside and concentrates her magic in. Her magic expands throughout the door causing it to glowing brightly and open to reveal a box with jewels on it.

Meanwhile in the throne room, Bloodlust still being electrocuted concentrates her magic and creates an aurora around her body. Triton taunts, "I'm now match for you! You stupid bitch! I'm a God damn it!"

Then, electricity now red flows from Bloodlusts body back to Triton now being electrocuted. Triton releases Bloodlust which makes the tentacles return to his horn. As soon as Bloodlust touches the floor, she darts at Triton and tackles him again and this time manages to get him on his back. Standing on her back legs, Bloodlust punches Tritons bloody chest making him cough blood. When she tries stomping on his head, Triton rolls to his right dodging the attack. He attempts to fly away, but the younger alicorn still on her back legs grabs his waist and punches his back sending him back to the ground. Triton then turns and head-butts her in the chin causing her to step backwards. He flies from under her, but when he turns to target, she is gone. He looks all around to find her but then feels a stab into his lower back. Bloodlust then reveals herself, stabs again going deeper, and then unleashes electricity through the horn causing excruciating pain in Triton. Suddenly, Bloodlust creates an explosion from the tip of her horn creating a deep round hole in his back and blood spurring out. The blue alicorn falls to the floor but immediately and surprisingly stands on all fours with his back legs shaking.

Celestia with the Elements of Harmony around her teleports back into the throne room to see Triton standing with a bloody hole in his lower back with blood streaking down his lower legs. She then uses the Elements of Harmony to spin around her preparing to attack him, but within a second, Bloodlust crashes on Tritons injured portion of his back which forces him to lie on the floor. Bloodlust then steps in the middle of Tritons horn and applies pressure. Triton screams in more pain.

Triton still in pain starts chuckling and says, "If you're so great, BREAK MY HORN YOU SICK BITCH!"

Then, Triton's horn starts breaking in two. Celestia screams, "Get down!" She then lowers herself to the floor and covers her head. Then, the horn breaks and suddenly a massive black magic beam with other colors in fires out and goes into all directions uncontrollably. Anything the magic touches including the celing and throne is destroyed instatntly. As the magic goes out of control, Triton's body is consumed by it where he cannot be seen, and once it touches Bloodlust, it send her flying backwards. She manages to stop herself and stands next to Celestia. The magic eventually starts to fade away, and Triton can be seen. However, he is almost unrecognizable. He is now bright blue, his mane and tail are gray, eyes are white, and instead of being muscular, he is shockingly skinny. Triton lies on the floor silently breathing, and what is left of his horn has blood slowly draining out making a puddle on the floor.

Celestia stares at her cousin in shock, but before she could start walking to him, Bloodlust moves first. She stands over Triton and with her right front hoof, rolls him over on his back. Celestia walks beside her and says, "Leave him to me."

Bloodlust looks at Celestia with blood-red cat eyes and replies, "i want to say no. I want him dead, but..." She then smiles at Celestia, "if you want to Mom. Go ahead."

Celestias jaw drops, "Amity?"

"No. Bloodlust."

"H-how? W-wha...?"

Bloodlust then hugs Celestia. Then, a pink aurora sounds her, and Bloodlust turns into Amity. "I don't know, Mom. We just...agreed on something."

"What was it?" Celestia asks.

"That you can't," Amity replies. The two continue to hug.

Three days later, Amity and Celestia are on a train heading towards Ponyville. They observe the beautiful scenery pass by through the window. Celestia then looks at her daughter who seems calm with a smile on her face.

"Um," a female Earth filly standing beside their seats nervously says, "Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you Princess Celestia and Amity..."

Celestia looks at the filly, smiles, and says, "It's alright, little one."

Amity as well looks at the filly and says, "Don't be shy."

The girl filly continues, "...well, I was wondering if you could tell some of your amazing stories at my family reunion coming up next week. It'll be here in Ponyville."

Celestia answers, "I would love to, but I have unfinished royal duties to attend to."

Amity in a calm tone says, "I however can go."

"Really?" The filly asks excitedly. Amity nods her head, the filly jumps on her and hugs tightly. The filly lets go and runs down the cart to her seat.

Amity breathes in and out through her nose and smiles and says to her mother, "I hope Remedy can further help me to prepare for that."

Celestia asks, "You don't want to go?"

Amity answers, "Honestly, no. I'd rather stay at home and sleep for a year, but I have to be the best princess I can be which includes doing little things like that."

Celestia chuckles and replies, "I know she will. I also can't wait to see her for real."

Then, the train starts to slow down and stops at a train station, and Amity asks, "Didn't you already know her?"

Celestia answers, "I know of her and communicated through letters, but I have never seen her in the flesh. I'm sure she's a wonderful pony."

Amity looks out the window to see Remedy in a wheelchair with Amber beside her. Amity smiles and says, "She is."

The princesses get out of their seats and approach the injured unicorn. Remedy says, "Princess Celestia. It's a true honor meeting you."

Amber runs and hugs Amity who hugs back. Celestia responds to Remedy, "Actually, it's honor to meet you. Amity has told me so much about you." She then sees Amity and Amber hugging.

The young alicorn sets the filly on her back and flies into the air. "That's so sweet." Remedy speaks while watching the two have fun. She then asks to Celestia, "Was it her that stopped Triton or the dark magic of herself?"

"It wasn't her," Celestia answers. "She called herself Bloodlust. Will you continue to help her?"

Remedy replies, "Of course. Dark magic can't be left alone, yet..." Celestia looks at her with a raised eyebrow. Remedy continues, "...if she had not become Bloodlust..." She looks at Celestia with a smile.

Celestia then says, "We need to be careful and so should Amity, but...sonething's telling me that Bloodlust is...different. But for now, lets relax. We all deserve a break."

Remedy chuckle, "Oh yeah. You got that right" After about a minute still watching Amity and Amber having fun, Remedy chuckles and asks Celestia, "Hey, what's a pickup line a male bee uses?"

Celestia sits next on the ground, "I don't know. What?"

"'Hey girl, I want you to bee mine.'" Remedy smiles and chuckles.

Celestia chuckles then says, "What does a horse say when asking for water?"

Remedy shrugs and responds. "I don't know. What?"

Celestia answers, "'Do you have water? I'm a little horse.'"

The two laugh while Amity flies Amber in the sky.
