The castle was rubble, with only three rooms, Betty’s, Kumus, and the time chamber standing. Going unnoticed to the inhabitants, grey goo seeped out of the rubble, absorbing it. The goo built up, turning to stone as it went. Slowly the goo built the castle back up, stronger than before. It made the castle more sturdy, yet smaller due to lack of material and the inability to pull from the environment without hurting the nature around it.

As soon as it was done, Betty came out of her room. “What the hell happened to my castle?!” She asked tiredly as she rubbed a eye tiredly, looking super adorable. Annoyed, she decided to upgrade it to steel, that being more than what the ponies had anyway. She’d like to make it a fictional metal, but didn’t really know the way any were made, just knowing that they were some alloys but not knowing the how.

She also, to avoid walking on a cold floor, made the floors a nice carpet, that below that were lightly heated. Except for the trap rooms, which were just cold metal. Betty sees her traps destroyed, and makes them better, adding some sneak things that she wouldn’t reveal right now.

One of her favorites was the saw trap, the Rack. It would twists their limbs and slowly twists each limb one my one before it reaches the neck. She cackled evilly at a job well done.

With Celestia…

Celestia was busy writing a certain network. It was much smaller than the one in canterlot, only covering her estate and the sleeping quarters and positions for the guards, but it’d be enough. It’s be a greatly lesser boost, but she wanted as much of an edge as she could get against the two fearlings.

Having ordered her guards to stay in the markers, she put the last rune down and smiled. This time, only her and Luna would be getting the boost. The mane six have proved to… outlive their usefulness. Activating the ritual she tried to use them as well in the ritual. The VD only managed to take the five mares, but the yellow ones, Fluttershy’s, was filled with too much KINDNESS, and it sickened the entity, making it refuse it and send both that soul and her out into the wild.

Still, the five mares along with her guards SOULs were enough to give them a good edge against the two fearlings. Doubling down on her spells on Luna, she and her sister flew off to the new castle to fight the two.

With the lings of the fear variety.

Akumu was crying, having found out that Momma-chamber had been killed, if only temporarily. It still saddened the little fearling greatly. Betty was raging, but was trying to comfort him, sitting next to him and hugging him.

Betty looked up, sensing two presences approaching. “You know, we can get a year in before they get here,” She said gently. Akumu shook his head, a blank yet determined look on his face.

“No. I can’t wait a year. She needs to pay now,” Akumu said angrily. Betty sighed, but nodded. She wanted to give the two Zenkai, but the process would take too long at this point. Together, the ‘twins’ flew up, leaving the castle and meeting the two alicorns in a large desert.

Betty teleported behind Celestia with a double dropkick, knocking her flying away, making a trench behind the mare, Betty flying after her. Akumu looked at Luna, and made his arm into a scythe, ready to fight.

He saw a mark appear on her forehead, before she charged at him. Startled at her speed, he barely blocked the attack, grunting in pain as he flew back a bit, scythe cracking. Not one to take this standing, he charged back, firing ki blasts as he went, pink with fear energy.

Luna dodged and weaved, deflecting what she couldn’t with her horn covered in a magic aura. This was a distraction, because the scythe turned into a large fist, him punching her and launching her down.

The blue mare flared her wings, stopping her decent and charging a beam, firing at Kumu. The fearling fired one back after moving slightly, allowing the two to bypass one another, his heading towards her. The night pony stopped her beam just in time to throw a shield up, it cracking under the pressure.

Deciding that it was best to not be here anymore, Luna teleported behind the fearling, kicking him in the back and sending him flying forwards. He turned in mid air, forming his arms into wings and slowing himself to a halt. He had to dodge greatswords as they were flung at him, turning hi arms into blades to deflect some, still getting cut a bit.

“Is this all you’ve got, fearling?” Celestia shouted, distracting the two, making them turn to see Celestia on the ground. Betty flew up a little.

She snarled a little. “If you’re so confident I can’t hurt you, stay right, where, you, are.” The pink girl said. She got into the pose, body covered in a aura that released lightning as she shook, balls of energy going into her hands. Celestia raised a brow, hands behind her back in a seemingly relaxed pose.

Betty was pouring everything into the attack. “PREPARE FOR ANNIHILATION BITCHLESTIA, FINAL FLASH!” A giant beam that easily eclipsed Celestia's entire body shot towards the mare.

“How cute, she names it,” Celestia said with a cocky smirk, bringing her hands forwards and launching the magical energy stored in them back at Betty.

“Dammit!” Betty said. She poured energy into the struggle, the two beams going back and forth for a little. Celestia let a shout out, her magical energy slowly overcoming the Ki. Betty tried to glitch out… but nothing happened.

Bettys eyes widened as the beam overtook her own, screaming out in fear as she felt her body break apart. Luckily, the fear gave her just enough to survive… but half her torso was gone, her legs non existent, and was dusting slowly.

“BETTY!” Akumu shouted, flying down to her and putting her in his lap. Betty giggled sadly, raising what’s left of her hand to Celestia.

“H-here’s my l-last ‘present’, C-celestia… MULTI ULTIMA!” She shouted. The five orbs vanished as the attack careened to Celestia… who dodged, teleporting a bit away. She got singed by the explosion, and otherwise seemed fine because of the spell she put up.

Her eyes widened at the crater made by the attack. Meanwhile, with Betty and Akumu, the latter had his eyes were shadowed. He couldn’t use Omni Heal. The two would destroy him before he could. Instead, he did something… different.

“Just avoid the plantlife…” He mumbled. Gathering all the power of the two SOULs in him, his body turned pink, and tendrils shot out. They went at near-light speeds, and impaled everyone with a high LV, including… the gods of each race. Screaming, he pulled the tendrils back in, thousands, millions of SOULs on the ends of them, all into himself at once. A flash went through the air.

When the flash was down, there were two beings there. One was Betty, restored to normal, if weakened from the healing. The other was an adult, with a black cloak that oozed wrongness to their senses. Under the cloak was metal, dark and jagged, with spikes on the pauldrons and around it. It essentially looked like what’d you get from a fully corrupted, or ‘evil’, overlord.

“You see the wrongness in him, Celestia? That’s all the hate he’s absorbed. You have enough to do so three times over.” Betty said tauntingly.

The second figure lowered his cloak, revealing what looked like a humans head, with dark hair that wavered in the air, and eyes that were pools of dark with a rainbow core and pink pupils.

“W-w-what are you?!” Celestia cried in fear.

“I AM YOUR DESTRUCTION!” The former fearling cried out, launching so forwards so fast he seemed to vanish for a millisecond, before appearing in front of Celestia, knocking her back a hundred miles. Betty appeared next to Luna, sending a disruption wave to the spells in her, making her head shake in confusion as she body turned into that of Nightmare Moons.

Not paying attention to this, the former fearling launched after Celestia, uppercutting her just as she got out of the rubble of a building in manehattan. Jumping up after her, his speed was so great that four hims seemed to be bashing her around at once, launching her between themselves like a pinball and making her bloody and bruised.

Grabbing her by the neck, he stopped, hovering in the air with his cloak flowing behind him, holding her up. “I was going to turn you into a deku scrub… but that’s too good for you. I have a much better punishment planned.” Celestia's screamed rang out in torment for the world to hear.
