Luna's pov

"My name is.....Discord."

When he announced his name, the pile of debris that Vatore was buried under exploded. The next I knew, Discord was launched through the wall next to the door. I had never seen that kind of strength from him. His face was twisted in rage.

"Both of you leave, now. Evacuate the castle and head back to Canterlot."

"No we won't Tor. You need our help with him."

"Luna, dont argue with me. This fight has been three thousand years in the making. I finally have the bastard that ended my world in sight."

Sister gasped at his words. "He's the one responsible for your races destruction?"

"Yes he is. I recognized that voice. Its burned into my memory. Now go. Take everyone back to Canterlot. I have a feeling this castle will not be standing in a few hours."

"Very well Tor. How long should we wait for you."

"In the morning at the earliest. NOW GO!"

Vatore's pov

I watched as my two closest friends evacuated the Everfree. Time to get busy I thought to myself smiling.

"Oh Discord. Come on out so I can kick your FUCKING ASS! I've got a lot of pent up rage for you."

"You think you stand a chance against ME? You're insane. Nopony on this planet can harm me. I am a GOD."

"Let's put that to the test shall we" I said rushing him. Over my long life I had perfected my own fighting style. I borrowed from all of the different styles to form a purely offensive system designed to use my greatest attribute. My stamina. It was a flowing system of fast strikes that kept my opponent on the defensive. My opening punch he caught with his left paw?

"Please, you can do better i hope?"  He wasn't expecting the kick to the shin. I opened up on him then. For five minutes I kept the pressure up until he finally broke my rhythm.

"Enough of this. Time to join your rotten race."  Discord stepped back and snapped his fingers. When he didn't get the result he wanted he was confused.

"You should be dead. Why doesn't my magic work on you?"

"Your magic made me what I am, remember. I learned to control what you made me. You have no power over me Discord."

"Well then. I guess it's the old fashioned way then"  he said grinning. He snapped his fingers again and a massive great sword appeared in his grip. Next thing I know, he slams the flat of the blade into me and I'm sent flying through the back wall of the throne room. The first wall hurt, the second was just as bad, but the third. It damn near knocked me out.

"One of many things I'll be feeling in the morning" I said to myself. Regaining me feet, I charged back towards Discord drawing my own sword. It was a Zweihander of my own design. It was five and a half feet long and weighs about seven pounds. It takes considerable skill to wield one and I had plenty of practice. I had a bit of a advantage with my sword being smaller, but not by much. I hope I survive this battle. I owe those two girls so much.

Canterlot Castle. Four hours after the evacuation of the Everfree

I was standing at the windows next to our thrones looking out towards the Everfree. "I hope Vatore is okay sister."

"I do too, Luna."

I had turned back to my sister while we was speaking when the wall twenty feet away from me exploded inwards. Looking through the dust I could see somepony laying on the floor on the other side of the throne room.I couldn't believe my eyes, it was Tor. The hilt of his broken sword was still clutched in his hand. His armour was shattered and blood was running from multiple cuts and stabs.

"TOR?"  At my sister's shout, she started running towards him when he held up a hand.

"Stay where you are Tia." Watching in awe, he stood up slowly. How could he stand with the wounds that ravaged his body I wondered. That is till a sword flew through the breach and pinned Tor to the wall.

"That should hold you."  When those words rang out I turned. Discord calmly settled down to the floor. He was in the same shape as Tor. Multiple cuts and stabs covered his body too. "I'm not done with you yet, but I think I'll take care of my business before you interrupted it. Now be a good human and just watch."

When he turned towards us, I could see his evil intentions in his eyes.

"I created this world so I could have some toys. I've come to collect those toys, starting with you two."  The sickening sound of a blade being removed from flesh interrupted his discourse. When he turned, I got to watch Discords own sword erupt from his back. Shock crossed his muzzle as Tor looked at him in utter distance.

"You will never touch them or anyone else. My world's revenge is now complete."  Stepping back, he swung his broken blade and removed Discords head. Looking down at the headless body at his feet, Tor smiled.

"If it's alright with you two, someone take me to the healers" I watched as his eyes rolled back and call.

"GUARDS. BRING THE HEALERS."
