*ROUND 2*

With the clear sign above us, and the sound of the dying crowd recovering from the last fight, I readied myself for an actual challenge. I didn't need anyone's opinion to know that these two were on levels of Gods in their own right, and with my blacklight needing time to merge with my body again, my strength was far lower. This was bad.

"Now then, without any delays, let me get introductions out of the way!" Loki announced, clearly pleased with the turn of events that have transpired. "On 'my' team. he's the undead bugger with more DNA than a petri dish, and who quite frankly eliminate a whole kingdom if pissed off. I give you, Shifting Light, Chris!"

"And representing the embodiment of Equestria, the celestial guardians of day and night. Red Sun, Celestia and Silver Moon, Luna!" Loki ended, allowing the violent-filled crowd to soak up the tension."FIGHT!!!"

"You know, even in this weakened state, I doubt this is going to end the way you picture it." I mused, easily antagonizing the two monarchs

"You'd be wise to not underestimate us." Luna warned me, the grip on her scimitar tightening, her foot moving to her side

"Wouldn't dream of it. If I could dream." I answered, before a certain glow emanated from Celestia. So I copied, summoning another arc staff to my hand. "Come on, give me all you got. If you beat me, I'll even do anything you command me to, no limitations."

"Big mistake!" Luna was gone, as in she became a shadow, then I watched as the shadows around me pointed up like spines, impaling multiple sections of my body to the ground. My arms were completely impaled, and my jaw had a nice spine stuck through the back of my throat

I just snapped my arm out of the hold, swinging my arc staff behind me, before it struck the scimitar, knocking Luna back, but she rolled, her body molting into the shadows around the edge of the ring. Then I ducked, avoiding Celestia's halberd as it missed my neck, before she spun, swinging the staff's axe down, shattering the stone beneath all the sand, before she swung to her left, catching my side and sending me rolling into the sand.

As I leapt to my feet mid-roll, I watched as the shadows grabbed my leg, pulling it through into the shadows, even with cold resistance, I could feel the frigid temperature snap away at my blacklight, then Luna resurfaced behind me, swinging her scimitar to my right, before I summoned my tail again, wrapping my xeno-tail around her arm as I struck her cheek, shattering the helmet's side as her focus released my foot.

Then I did a quick hand-stand, swinging my feet to boot her in the jaw, before I leapt from the sand, avoiding Celestia's flaming halberd, and landing on her head, dropping my knees on her skull, knocking her to the arena floor. Then I slid atop her back, kicking her body into Luna as she tried to recover.

When they did, I retracted my tail, before switching to two Sunbreaker hammers, waving one at the two of them. Nox recovered, the two teleported to my location, Celestia was first, thrusting her halberd forwards, as my hand caught it by the tip of the blade, the metal itself was ablaze, sending pulses of fire backwards, scorching the sand.

"You cannot win, kneel!" Really? She was serious?

"I don't think we're done just yet..." I grinned, before I flicked the blade back, kicking her left arm, before spinning and axe-kicking her head, or I would, if not for the scimitar flying past my foot to block my attack. "How's about I do just what humans were created to do. Get reckless."

Before either of them could comprehend why, my hammers reappeared, smashing the ground beneath them in a blaze of solar power, before my hand stretched through the flames, grabbing their faces, before smashing their head together, shattering the helmets into shards. Then I kicked Celestia in the stomach, before my left elbow cracked the jaw of Luna.

She recovered though, bouncing back to deliver a right hook to my shoulder, before her scimitar landed between my arm and shoulder, before she twisted, tearing the whole arm off in a quick twist, before she hooked her arm around my neck, then she smashed my face into her jagged knee, planting a new sheet of metal into my skull.

I tried to recover, but something grabbed my hair, pulling me off the leg guard. Celestia turned me to face her, before she grabbed my shirt, and before I realized what was happening. Nothing happened. No sound, no crowd, nothing. Expect the stars, donut moon and us.

"Space, thought this was Luna's shtick?" I asked, my arm struggling to regenerate, and my wounds nowhere near gone, this is bad. Celestia then raised her halberd into the void, and I actually was surprised to watch it slowly begin to grow in length, the blade now stretching into the void above us as I watched it fly away. "Oh fuck."

"Now you will learn that not every creature is weak." When did I say that? In all honesty, when did those specific words leave my mouth? Guess they did...somehow

I didn't really try to avoid her strike, so I watched as her flaming halberd thrusted through my chest, piercing me to the tip of the blade as the blacklight moved to avoid any irreparable damage, but now we were descending....towards the earth at....mach 20....oh fuck me.

As we descended towards the earth again, the re-entrance began to burn my back into ashes, as flakes of blacklight flew past me, I was a literal meteor descending towards the ground, but above me, nearly a kilometer away, Celestia seemed to smile a little, thinking she was winning this fight.

"Only one of us is going to walk away alive! Kneel!" She ordered, as I just coughed up more blacklight, before I gave her a deadpan stare

"I'm fucking miles in the air, how the fuck can I kneel you sunny bitch!?" I countered, but I don't think she heard me, or she doesn't care. Ah well, guess plan B will happen, hopefully, maybe....

When we broke through the clouds again, I heard Celestia call to me again.

"You are nothing more than a tyrant, you have so much power, and you use it for your sick games, you toy with my subjects, use them for your own ends and enjoyment, treating their emotions like a game. You're no better than that creature, you never should have set foot on my kingdom!" Celestia yelled, before we struck the arena again

Sand erupted, before the flames from the impact turned the whole floor to a new sheet of glass in an instant. But as her halberd retracted to her decent, she touched the crater softly, but...I wasn't there, not anymore. But one thing that was wrong in that little statement of hers.

*Swift's POV*

"W-What?" the Princess sputtered, as me and Loki looked at each other for a moment, before my mouth hung open in terror

"Chris!" I yelled, trying to locate him, but only the Princess stood in the crater, but splats of blacklight dotted the whole hole, even some of the walls

"Holy fuck! She turned him to putty!" Loki screamed in shock, trying to think of a way to rectify the situation. I just stared endlessly, but....I could see it, something wasn't right. Then I looked at Loki, who looked torn between laughing and terror. "Shit-Um...oh Serafin is going to Kiiiill me! Maybe...maybe we can fix this."

"Loki, shut it and look." I muttered, even though something in my head told me that all the choices Ive made today have been risky. Chris' been rubbing off on me, heck, he's practically everywhere! But I smiled all the same, if there was one thing Ive learned from Chris, its that he's the strongest there is. "Things are just getting started."

"Funny, you people seem to think you understand me, I find that amusing." My voice was gravelly, as Celestia tried to move her halberd from the crater, only for my torso to regenerate around it, Luna watched in horror as literal tons of blacklight began to pool into the crater I made, slowly reforming my entire body, my now pissed off face coming back from the glassy-sand, then I raised my upper body a little to face the halberd, before I clenched my right fist. "So do me a favor, take your fucking options and jump up your own ass and die!"

When she tried to reel back, my fist connected with the blade, shattering my fist and the halberd into fragments, but I swung my body off the ground, grabbing the spear-point in my mouth, before I spun round like a superpoered ninja, before the blade buried deep into Celestia's cheek, resulting in her body flying through the air in a spiral, her body fell flat against the wall of the arena, knocking her out cold.

"Sister!" Luna cried, but the crowd was drowning out her plea with both cheers and boos. Then she glared at me, her eyes seeming to glow with pure hatered, but I reacted in kind, as the last threads of blacklight rejoined from under the arena, before my body slowly began to react, the blacklight wrapping tightly around my body like venom

"So....you think you were the scariest thing to walk this rock a thousand years ago?" I asked, my aura glowing a sickening red, along with my eyes. Before my hair slowly began to stand up a little more, fading between black and red as I walked towards the remaining Princess with a grin of a madman

"I'll make you remember your fear."

Now, if I can confirm one thing to be real, it's that rage is universal, even if my whole mind, body and soul is now this bio-hazard, I could still be angry if pushed, and in this case it was all directed at the lunar-donut-bitch. Mind you, this all came from the hypocritical Sun princess who is having a nice taste of pride and rock, but lets be honest, I couldn't give a fuck who I was going to hit next.

When Luna finally uncovered her eyes at the light's retreat, only to watch as her eyes widened and her confidence shrank at my sight. Looking at the glass arena, I saw my blacklight move like a black symbiote around my body, my fingers were sharp, and my body took on a more skeletal form, with black ribs crossing my torso, with the aura of crimson crossing my body like fire. My hair however, was a new shade of red, my eyes matching the scheme of a God.

"So....Luna, how's it feel to be in the presence of a God?" I mused with a more distorted voice, intimidation points, I like it. Luna however kept her guard up, as she gripped her scimitar with both hands, raising it to the side of her face

"I may fear you, creature, but I 'WILL NOT' kneel!" She yelled, but I was gone, atleast to her eyes, but now I was standing behind her, my hands placed in a familiar stance by my waist

"You're gunna beg that you did so sooner." I hissed, before she turned a second too late

BIG BANG KAMEHAMEHA

The crowd watched as their second princess was thrown across the arena in a flash of crimson, as a nova of energy erupted from the crash-zone, leaving behind another crater in its wake, whist almost killing a few spectators who now took the opportunity to move back. When Luna came to again, her armour looked like it was thrown down some stairs, but her scimitar was dust now, she blocked the majority of the blast with it? Impressive, I will say, but....

When I appeared again, her foot spun in reflex, as my own managed to block the swift blow, even with this new form, its power was almost like an endless abyss of energy, but something kept blocking me from using more than ten percent, strange, I'll ask Loki about it later.

I quickly moved to her left, grabbing her head as I smashed her face into the wall beside us.

"I'ma plant me a dumbass tree!" I mocked, before I trailed her face through the rock, before planting her whole head into the sandy arena, causing more to fall through the cracks that surfaced from the pressure I force behind my palm. When I pulled back, she was gone. "You do realize this would be easier if you just kneeled!"

"Bite me!" Gladly. So when I turned to see her fist connect with my jaw, my mouth opened, revealing a maw of jagged teeth, before I bit down on her hand, the bones easily snapping like twigs as she screamed, but she quickly reached for something on my waist, before she pulled back, tearing a finger off in the process

"Not exactly the best phrase to use, but certai-GAH!" Ok, that was pain, real pain. When I looked at my neck, I watched as the darksaber dug through my neck like a hot knife, if the knife was made of plasma. Luna was quick the react to my grunting, as she pulled it out violently, forcing me down, before she drove the darksaber through my chest

She twisted the blade, before she tore it through the left side of my torso, then she spun to my right, avoiding a Ki blast from me, before she grabbed the shoulder and in a swift motion, she tore a chunk of my arm off with the blade. Being resourceful, I quickly activated Stormcaller, then from the sky, a bolt of lightning rained down on us both.

The ground shattered again, but Luna fell backwards, whist my blacklight screamed from the severe burns from both the lightning and plasma, but I was still standing. When the dust settled, Luna was holding her mangled hand, whist she pointed my darksaber in my direction, whist I brushed the leftover plasma from my skin.

"My offer still stands." I spoke calmly, as Luna panted, holding her stance shakily

"I...will never....kneel!" She's gone from persistent to suicidal. Fine by me, lets end this pitiful game with a bang

In a flash I was now hovering above the ring, whist Luna seemed to just stand in wait for my next move.

"Oh nooooo, why's he up there?" The voice of Swift spoke with worry through the mic, then I slammed my hands together, slowly pulling them back to my side

"He-He can't be serious?" Loki muttered, before Swift freaked out

"Getting Chris-Flashbacks!" That's a thing? Ah well, I'm not aiming for them, I'm aiming for Luna....and the Planet's core

"KAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEE"

"HAAAAAAAAAMEEEEEE"

By this point, a hurricane was forming around me, lightning was erupting from every angle of the sky, even the wind was tearing through the sky like a tempest.

KAMEHAME-CERO

"I KNEEL!"

"What?" I asked, the skies turning back to a normal state of peace, as I dusted the blacklight armour off my body, but when I stared down at Luna, she didn't even look at me, but she was trembling in fear

"I surrender, you win..." Luna finally spoke, her mangled hand still dripping with blood, but the other threw the darksaber back to me, to which I grabbed it once more

"HA CALLED IT!" Loki yelled, breaking the tension, as many onlookers just didn't say a word. "What? You think this was going to end differently?"

"Well to be fair, he was pinned a few times!" One random person yelled as Loki nodded in understanding

"Yeah-Yeah, I see your point-but, and hear me out....counter point." What came next was a scream, and then a flash of blue light. "Enjoy hell....'ha'."

"You are by far, the biggest, dumbest idiot in the world!" Swift's ranting soon came into earshot, as Spike followed closely

"Fuck you!" I yelled in a heavy Russian accent. That made her pull her sword on me as she tried to hit me with it. She. Tried. To. Hit. ME! "What are you doing?"

"Hitting you for being an idiot!" She yelled as all it did was make her more cute by the second, so I quickly replied

"Coming from the girl who cried over an immortal guy's body, that threat's very hollow." And like that, she was turning away from me, her sword twitching her hand

"Wait, what'd I miss?" Both Loki and Spike asked as I just pondered on something else entirely

"Wonder what Ruin's doing?"

*Somewhere*

"Oh crap I just lost that bet." Ruin muttered to himself, looking back towards the endless dunes of sand before him, before he shrugged and continued to march through the sand, the sun burning at his skin with every step. "If I see more sand with this next dune I will turn this place to glass."

What he did see was a strange object standing before him, he thought it was another cactus, much like the one stuck to his head, but he just titled his head.

"When did cacti wear clothes?" He pondered, before his own eyes widened at the crimson glare from under the hood. "Oh shit...."

Before he could react, the man had already pointed a 500 magnum to his skull, the silver chamber glowed with a strong scent of Midnite.

"Goodnight, Nightmare."

*BANG*

Author's Note

Well shit just when sideways in the most colossal way possible.

Who would want to see a Ruin side-story following him as he wanders through Equestria?
