The signal was launched and in that moment, the battle begun.

I heard and saw the attack signal in the sky, I immediately commanded to my troops to move and so we headed towards our sector. We moved rapidly and silently, we encountered no enemies in our path so far and I started to feel uneasy.

‘Strange, the order was given a while ago and still no sign of the equestrians…’

In the middle of my thoughts I heard several screams from afar, I signaled for my squad to come with me. We didn’t have to march much we reached a clearing in which there were several boulders, in there I saw what screamed. Several bodies covered the ground all of them leaking out litres of blood from their wounds.

I snorted and started to search for the enemy, I found my target in a blood coated unicorn mare with a red mane, in her hands was a scythe , dark as the night with white pearls on it that shined like the stars in the night sky, it was covered in blood. She wore leather armor that hugged her body and showed her muscles.

She turned around and noticed me. “And who we have here? Who are you creature?” she asked with a malevolent grin.

“Captain you and your men needs to fall back, she’s mine.” I said.

“But-” I interrupted him. “No buts captain, that’s an order. Fall back.” I said sternly.

“As you wish.” He said and retreated in the forest with the whole squad, now only me and her filled the space.

“I am Fluttershy Mercer, proud daughter of Philip Mercer and princess of the changelings. Who are you?” I said to her narrowing my eyes.

“A princess?! Hahahaha” She laughed maniacally. “I’m truly fortunate I will have the honor of having your blood on my scythe too! My name is Red Ocean your majesty.” She said in a mocking tone bowing.

“Very well, Red Ocean. As a princess of the changelings and daughter of the king I hereby sentence you-” I created my scythe too and it glowed a dark light. “-TO DEATH!”

I charged at her immediately and slashed at her from below, she parried my blow with one of her own but I was stronger and swatted away her scythe, then with my other arm I impaled her hearth. She gurgled some words but they were lost in her blood.

“I hope you’ll have a nice stay in hell.” I said to her and started to walk away, but I could feel that the battle wasn’t finished yet. I heard a chuckle behind me and turned around, her blood was returning to her body and closing her wound.
“Wonderful princess! Never before has someone actually killed me! You are not a normal creature if your weird powers are of any indications, nonetheless I will kill you and add you to my ‘collection’ “ She said and picked up her scythe, on her weapon a strange light appeared before dissolving in a scream, that scream was inhuman on every level and I could feel its pain.

Before arriving I sensed a large lots of souls in the area, but when I saw her alone I thought I was wrong. Now I know that not only has she killed them but she also took their souls!

“Wonderful! Truly wonderful! Never before someone managed to kill me that fast, you will be a worthy opponent Fluttershy.” She said, her voice dripping malevolence.

“Your action are disrupting the balance of the nature. I will not tolerate this. Prepare to face Death.” I said darkly and charged at her. She parried my up blow with her scythe and actually resisted me, I jumped away and thrusted my scythe into the ground using my mass to create deadly spikes in front of me. She jumped dodging them and slashed at the air in front of her, I heard another scream and a shockwave came towards me. I jumped and stayed in the air with my wings, then I ordered the roots in the ground to grab her, when she returned to the ground the roots immediately grabbed he. I then flew towards her and in an instant I passed her taking her head with me .

I heard another scream as her head regenerated she then spun around, destroying all the roots, I sprinted towards her again and slashed at her, we locked our weapons in a standstill. I used that moment to activate the stare trying to paralyze her, but for some reason she was immune to that. Seeing that my plan failed I used another tactic.

Fluttershy started to glow with a red light on her body, Red Ocean immediately disengaged fearing a new attack from her opponent. Fluttershy’s wings retracted inside her back and her scythe became longer and larger, the handle became longer and another blade sprouted from it two eyes were adorning the conjunctions between the handle and the two blades. On the blade there was engraved a symbol of a snake that ate its own tail. The new scythe was mostly red with eyes on the conjunctions between the handle and the blade were shining with malevolent intent and were looking straight at Red Ocean. Her legs became bulkier and then she detached the new weapon from her arm.
“Here I come” Fluttershy said rushing towards Red Ocean leaving a crater behind her the two clashed their scythes between them and started to trade blow after blow, Fluttershy fought with a fine mastery over her weapon while Red Ocean didn’t even try to parry at one point and just hit with reckless abandon, Fluttershy gave a powerful thrust upwards and broke Red Ocean’s guard then with the other blade she cut off her arm. Fluttershy caught it in mid air and showed it to her.

“You need this?” Fluttershy asked before crushing the limb with her hand. “Ops sorry for that.” She said mockingly.

“Bitch.” Red Ocean replied and once again blood from her destroyed limb gathered and moved towards her, until a powerful blast of air from Fluttershy’s scythe scattered it away. Fluttershy immediately ran towards Red Ocean and again slashed at her severing her other arm.

Red Ocean remained impassive without any emotions on her face, until she grinned with a smile that crossed her entire face.

“Hahahahaha” She laughed at the skies. When she calmed down a deep purple aura coated her entire body. “Seems like I really need to use everything I have to kill you. Very well then, let’s dance.” And immediately after her arms returned from thin air and attached to her, she picked up her scythe and an opera of screams filled the air.

Fluttershy readied herself and almost missed her enemy movement, Red Ocean was now behind her ready to slash at Fluttershy. Fluttershy ducked and thrust her scythe upwards behind her, Red Ocean parried the blow and kicked her back sending her away with a devastating blow. Fluttershy found herself inside of a big crater in a boulder, she came out of it regenerating her completely shattered arm. She looked at her opponent and her eyes widened when she saw red right in front of her, Red Ocean grabbed her by her neck and smashed her against the boulder.

“What? Already tired?” Red Ocean taunted, Fluttershy said nothing and instead morpher her right leg into an arm and picked up her scythe impaling Red Ocean with it, using that distraction she morphed her body again and slipped away from Red Ocean grip she then reformed her body and grabbed the scythe still inside her opponent and used that to throw her away. Red Ocean was thrown against a tree destroying it.

Red Ocean stood up once again and ran towards Fluttershy with only anger and revenge in her mind she jumped in the air and tried to slash at her, Fluttershy sidestepped the blow and instead impaled her scythe in Red Ocean head, the latter gave out a gurgling sound before grabbing the scythe and swatting it away.

“I had enough of you now.” Fluttershy said. “You are a Death path user, so you are really hard to kill. But I can see that the souls you gathered are finally finished, then the only thing that I must do is to send you with them.” She said with a kind face before she twisted it in one of pure hatred. “If you didn’t destroy them forever!” She shouted in her face. “I have the perfect punishment in mind for you. Want to hear it?” She asked.

Red Ocean stood up once again, her body filled with wounds and bruises she picked her scythe and tried to slash at Fluttershy once again. Fluttershy grabbed her scythe and broke the handle, she then cut off Red Ocean legs leaving her at screaming in the ground.

“As I was saying, your punishment won’t be death. Not yet anyway, no you will be devoured and you consciousness will remain yours, you will suffer the pain of hell for ten years before I’ll give you the blessing of death.” She said with a stoic face that showed no pity for her enemy.

“Go to hell!” Red Ocean shouted.

Fluttershy said nothing, she just readied her scythe to impale Red Ocean heart. “I don’t think that they accept the Death there.” She said before thrusting her weapon in her, then the virus started to eat at her flesh and bones. Red Ocean screamed until the virus reached her head and finally silence returned to the clearing.

Silent tears fell into the ground they were light but also heavy as lead, they were filled with the missed opportunities and the destroyed dreams of many, many innocents.

‘So many, you killed so many. Men, women and childrens, maybe ten years won’t suffice… ‘

I saw the flare in the air and the sound of the signal as well, I motioned for my squad of thirty changelings to follow me and we headed up in the forest. We heard a movement ahead of us, I scouted in and saw that here was a platoon of equestrian marching in direction of the hive.

“I will go first in the centre and disrupt their formation, when they are distract attack them, no prisoners.” I said darkly and jumped in the air. I didn’t have the mass nor the power of Applejack or Fluttershy but I knew how to cause a big damage with little effort. I created my bow and started to fire arrows in the platoon hitting the officers and causing them all to panic. A single one though managed to grab one of my arrow but did nothing after that. I landed in the middle of them and unleashed a deadly tornado of blades thanks to my whipfist killing a good chunk of them.

“FOR THE EVERFREE!” I heard my troops shout before they exited the forest and started to kill the equestrians, the battle now started was becoming bloodier and bloodier as time passed.

“Hey you!” I heard. “Come here and fight me! Your troops are too weak!” I heard the voice say. A male voice filled with self esteem.

I turned around and noticed a young pegasus with cyan coat and blue mane, a single brown streak crossed his mane, on his hips a sheat was present but the sword was in his hand instead. At his hooves four changelings laid dead.
“Who are you?” I asked him.

“The name is Mirror Smoke baby. Official member of the Omega squad and higher rank on this battleground, who are you?” He asked in a sultry tone.
“My name is Rarity Mercer, daughter of Philip Mercer and princess of the changelings. And your opponent as well.” I said firing three arrows at him, he smirked and deflected them before flying in the air. Then he passed his hand on the blade and a whirlwind manifested on it, he then disappeared in a blink. I felt pain in my right arm I turned towards it in time to see him pass and slash at it cutting it off.

“Surrender baby, you don’t stand a chance here. Maybe in the bed.” He said.

“Don’t be too sure of yourself you ruffian.” I said regenerating my arm. “The real battle starts now.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THIRD PERSON POV ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Mirror Smoke chuckled and took the air once more, he was ready to plunge his blade in Rarity’s heart now, he started a dive towards her but Rarity spun around and slashed at him with her whipfist. He saw it on time but still the blade cut his cheek making him bleed.

Rarity now smirked and fired another two arrows at him, this time though a thick cloud popped in existence in front of him, she lost sight of him and started to look around her searching for him. A gust, sharp as a razor flew towards her from behind and cut her arm then another one showed up, and another and another.

In mere seconds Rarity found herself surrounded by deadly wind blades that were cutting at her without mercy, she stomped her foot in the ground and created a crater. She managed to dodge the remaining wind blades and started to think of a counter offensive. Her eyes widened when she noticed that the blades were now all above her ready to plunge down and impale her.

“Surrender baby. You have lost.” The cocky voice of Mirror Smoke said.

“Darling, I must say that you are quiet the fighter.”Rarity said, then tendrils of biomatter seized Mirror and held him on the ground.

“What?! How!?” He shouted in disbelief.

“But you need to be more careful.” Rarity said appearing in front of him, Mirror thought that he was crazy, there were two Rarity now in the field one in the crater and one in front of him.
“Any last words, darling?”

“Yes.” He said. “You can’t seize the wind!” And said that multiple blades appeared and cut off the tendrils holding him then he widened his arms and breathed out a thick fog that coated the entire field.

“Now let’s play hide and seek.” He said seriously now. ‘This one is dangerous, I get hit once and it’s over for me. I must be careful.’ He thought worried.

Rarity remained impassible and waited for his opponent’s move. She activated all of her sense now but the fog made for her impossible to pinpoint Mirror’s position, she saw though the incoming blades and started to dodge.

She paired the few blades she could but still many hit her, she then entered the forest to create obstacles between her and him. She heard his taunting here and there but mostly ignored them, the blades cut through the canopy like a knife in butter and she had to focus in order to dodge them all.

“Run baby, run! Hahahaha” Smoke shouted from his position over a cloud of his making, he watched her run and dodging his blades and he was quite amused from that. Suddenly though Rarity started to fight back she created her bow and fired explosive arrows at the incoming blades dissolving them in midair.

She continued to destroy them but her magical reserves were running low, she needed to do something fast to end that fight, she splitted her body and sent her clone to distract him while she turned invisible, she then jumped in the air and searched for him. When she spotted him on a cloud she plunged towards him and stabbed him in the shoulder with her whipfist. She then landed on the cloud and threw him against another cloud.

Mirror Smoke screamed both in agony and surprise. “How did you?” He said before gritting his teeth and creating more clouds around him. Wounded, Mirror created multiple clones of himself and hid in the bank of clouds around him.

“I know that they are just clones darling, they are not wounded like you are.” Rarity stated and slashed them all with her whipfist dispelling them. “Now.” Rarity said before plunging her whipfist inside the cloud Smoke was hiding in. She grabbed him by his throat and held him in front of her.

“I… Can’t move- What have you done to me?!” He stuttered out.

“My dear sister created a special posion just for me, a variation of a paralyzing toxin from a plant in the Everfree, it’s usually slower but she made it a little more powerful, lovely isn't it?. Now, any last word? And don’t try your little trick again.” She said creating a whole dome of arrow around them, in the centre of the dome a symbol appeared, it was a crescent blue moon. “It won’t work again.”

“Fuck you!” He said.

“What a shame, and here I though at least in death you would have gained some manners. Good sword though, I think I will keep it.” She said holding his sword in front of him.
“Now darling, die.” She said and plunged her other arm in his heart killing him and absorbing his memories.

‘Just because they robbed you of your freedom doesn’t justify you to do the same with the lives of innocents.’

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PINKIE POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I made my way into the forest, while I passed I saw several troops in the Everfree marching in and battling my friends, so I did whatever I could to cause chaos in their ranks. Like throwing balloons filled with pepper on the enemy troops or scaring them with Gummy. (The Crocorock I found nice name eh?) Anyway I did whatever I could to distract them, while they were busy with my distractions the changelings attacked and killed a lot of them before pushing them back.

I also found how they got their supplies, a whole fleet of airships were at the edge of the forest with supplies and hospital camps. Ponyville has become a military camp filled with tents and weapons. I had an idea and then I created lots of little clones of me and sent them into the city, the soldiers started to panic and shoot at them but they were too many, at one point one of them shot one that was on a crate filled with grenades gems.

“Fuck…” A soldier said before a huge explosion tore the entire camp and threw it in more disarray than before, my clones died because of the shockwave but I didn’t care too much, after the big explosion I took a still unexploded crate from the camp, set it on fire and launched it at the main airship when the crate hit the deck it explodes killing even more soldiers and forceing the airship to retreat.

I heard a sound of clapping behind me, I turned around and saw a mare. She wore a black full body coat that covered her entire body, on her muzzle sat a pair of black sunglasses. Around her neck was a rosary with the symbol of Celestia on the end, on her waist there was a curved blade black as onix. The mane of hers was not visible, hidden by the coat hood but her fur was visible, an ash grey colouring with traces of white here and there.

“I applaud you, you caused a lot of chaos and mayhem in a very short time.” She said in a dull and uncaring voice. “What’s your name?”

‘Gaaasp’ “ Hello my name is Pinkie Mercer Pie and I’m the princess of the changelings the daughter of my dad and mom and I’m here to cause chaos and also I found this crocodile in the forest his name is gummy and also I like parties be them small or large my favourite colour is pink and I want to see my friends smile. Who are you?” I asked.

“I’m Stone Heart. Now die.” She said launching herself at me with her blade.

“Woooo Sharp toy you have!” I said dodging her swing. “Let’s play a game!” I continued creating my hammerfists. “Whack the mole!” Then I swing my fists at her, she dodged it with a backflip and I ended up destroying the ground. “That was fun!”

“You are not a creature of the forest, are you? What are you?” She asked in the same dull tone.

“I’m Pinkie silly!” I giggled. “Now let’s play!” I shouted, jumping in the air before slamming my fists in the ground creating spikes that started chase her. She jumped, dodged and one time tried to just climb on a tree but the spikes destroyed it. I stopped the spikes and readied myself.

“Why did you stop? Your strategy was good to keep me at bay. Maybe you can’t do that forever?” She asked me.

“If it is too easy then where is the fun in it?” I told her. She tilted her head but said nothing then she charged and started slashing at me with cold murderous intent, I dodged her attacks to the best of my ability and managed to not get hit. Suddenly her hands glowed with a black aura and the same aura started to radeat from under her hood, immediately after the aura started to coat the area leaving us in the dark.

“Fear will consume you.” She said.

I giggled like a madmare and started to jump around punching the ground. “Silly, you just have to laugh in front of the fear to shoo it away.” I explained to her, then I sensed her touching the ground at my right and slammed my right fist on the ground behind me. This disrupted her focus and the darkness vanished. She backed away and returned to her fighting position.

“You are indeed strange.” She said and then charged again but his time her attacks were faster and more calculated forcing me to defend and dodge.

“You know what? I thought of another game.” I said giggling. “Tag!” I slammed my fists down and teleported myself behind her catching her off guard hitting her with a powerful blow.
“You’re it!”

“Seems like I will need to do everything I can to beat you… Very well.”

Stone Heart opened her mouth and immediately an oily liquid exited form it coating the area around her in a sick black, her eyes became completely black while her skin peeled off leaving her muscles exposed. Then her coat became a mass of various insects that roamed freely on her body.

She clenched her hand around her blade and vanished in the darkness, then from nothing she struck. Pinkie though predicted that kind of move so she teleported away in the air avoiding the hit.

“You really want to play in the dark?” Pinkie asked.

Stone Heart said nothing, she just jumped and slashed at Pinkie who was still in free fall, Pinkie used her hammerfist to shield herself blocking the blow. They were both thrown away from the blow and landed on the ground, Pinkie then jumped again and slammed her hammerfists on the ground but before reaching it she teleported on Stone Heart crushing her into the ground. Instead of Stone Heart exploding from the pressure she divided into million of different insects and reformed away from Pinkie.

“You slippery snail!” Pinkie shouted before charging again slamming her fists into the ground creating more and more craters in the city, they fought for minutes before an opening presented itself to Stone Heart, Pinkie missed a hit and she was finally able to hit her with her black aura covered blade.

“L̨͞e̢̢t'͝s s̢̢e͢͡͞e͞ h͜o̢͢w͢ ̶͜y̡͟͝ǫ͢u ͠han̛̛d͘͢l͜e ̡͠y҉ơur̴ ̕͞w̷̸o̸r̕s҉͘t ̷fe̢a͝r.̕͠” Stone Heart said in a distorted voice.

When Pinkie was hit she stopped moving, her hairs immediately flattened and her eyes and hair became grey, her hammerfists vanished, in their place a sledgehammer formed, it was black with several red vein that pulsed along the handle. The head was wide and thick on it there was engraved a pictureof eight arrows pointing at eight different directions. She grabbed it and slammed it into the ground creating a huge crater and destroying the nearby windows with the shockwave.

“I won’t lose them... “ Pinkie murmured. “I WON’T LOSE THEM! I WON’T BE ALONE!” She screamed before letting out a scream that shattered even more windows in the area, she then charged Stone Heart at an incredible speed slamming her hammer on her body destroying it and creating a cloud of insects.

“Fascinating.” Was all Stone Heart said before she was interrupted by Pinkie slamming her hammer on her head, she reformed her body but Pinkie was ready and hit her again and again until Stone Heart finally exhausted herself. The darkness around her receded and she returned to her normal state, but her horn was broken, her coat destroyed and multiple wounds spilled blood on the ground around her, the bones in her legs were mere powder now.

Pinkie jumped in the air and her hammer became bigger, and continued to grow until it was the size of a small house, then she slammed it into the ground and onto Stone Heart. All that Stone Heart saw was a face filled with hatred for her and her alone with an impossible grin that showed how happy Pinkie was to kill her. Before the hammer ended her life though she saw an eye on it and when she gazed in it she finally saw it, she finally found it.

True Terror.

And with her heart filled with pure fear her life ended in a mighty shockwave that flattened a fourth of the town and left a crater big enough to contain a two story house in.

Pinkie panted and huffed before retreating up a tree, to cry, she checked the hive mind and she found out that all her sisters were fine, that brought a huge relief to her heart and she started to giggle to herself.

“Silly me, they are far stronger than death.” She said.

‘Now let’s continue my work.’

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ RAINBOW DASH POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I was scouting the area over Fluttershy’s sector before a giant cloud of dust rose from Ponyville. ‘That’s Pinkie alright’ I thought.
“Commander!” One of the changelings shouted, “We are nearing a zone of high air instability.”

“What!?” The soldier than explained to me that ahead of us there was a zone were all the currents were thrown in disarray causing enormous problems.

I was roaming around checking the edges of the zone when a giant pillar of fire exited the canopy of the forest and almost hit me. I managed to dodge it and then I searched for the source, suddenly multiple pillar shot from the forest aimed to my soldiers.

“Fall back! Fall back dammit!” I shouted at them. I grabbed nearby clouds and used them as cover for their retreat.

“Commander where are you going?!” One of them shouted.

“To kick some ass!” I replied and then I dived towards the ground charging a huge amount of electricity in my body, when I hit the ground I unleashed it generating a loud explosion that scorched the ground around me and destroyed the nearby trees.
“Ok fucker come out! I’ll show you what happens when you attack me!”

“As you wish!” A voice said and then huge tendrils of fire attacked me, I dodged them and searched the source, I saw in the distance an unicorn stallion. His coat was brown and he wore a standard Neverdawn uniform, on his head there was no mane at all. He lifted a crossbow and fired at me, his arrows though were made of pure fire and scorched the earth when they passed on it. I dodged the arrow and when it hit a tree behind me it exploded in a ball of fire.

I charged at him and reached him in a fraction of a second using one of my jumps, I punched him in the face and he flew against a trunk.

“Hello, my dear.” He said inside the trunk, he lifted himself up and dusted himself off. “I’m Kel Fareh, the walking hell. Who are you?”

“Less talking more fighting you bastard!” I shouted creating my claws and coating them in electricity.

“I agree.” He said and suddenly a huge column of fire generated from the ground under me scorching my skin and feathers.
“And with that I’m done.” He said thinking I was dead.

“Now where do you think you are going?” I told him. “Don’t you dare think that a simple fire will be enough to kill me!” I charged my claws with electricity and dashed at him slashing his arm. When my claw reached its arm though it turned into flame and I phased through it without leaving damage.

“You won’t be able to kill me you cunt, they don’t call me the living hell for nothing!” He shouted and fired more fire bolts at me, I managed to dodge some but other struck true and exploded on my body making me waste biomatter in order to regenerate the wounds.
I charged my claws again and used a jump to reach him slashing his head, again it became fire and I phased through it.
“You must be an idiot. I already told you that you can’t kill me!”

“It’s true only until you are dead!” I replied and poured more electricity in my claws, the extreme current started to create plasma around them and they glowed with an ominous orange light. I used another jump and slashed his arm again, this time though I struck true and he bleeded.

“What!? HOW!?” He shouted enraged and confused.

“Seems to me that your flame aren’t so powerful hehe” I taunted him and readyed for more.

“You will pay for this! Feel the Hell!” He shouted.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THIRD PERSON POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kel Fareh widened his stance and a jet of flame exited from his arms they continued to exit until they stopped and started to move, they moved like a snake and in fact on the extremities a snake head made of fire formed. The two snakes now formed immediately moved and attacked Rainbow viciously leaving very little window to dodge.

Rainbow was obliged to took the air in order to avoid the two serpents, though Kel had one more trick to use. He poured even more flames in the area creating a giant zone of pure fire where the ground melted and transformed into lava, then he poured even more fire into the snakes changing them. On their backs they grew bat like wings and took fly chasing Rainbow in the air.

Rainbow used her lightning to shot at them only disrupting them temporarily, meanwhile above the battlefield more and more clouds popped into existence because of the clash between cold and hot air. A mighty tornado was forming.

Kel fired bolt after bolt at Rainbow Who could only dodge both him and the serpents. She was tired though to do so. She charged a big amount of electricity and shot one of the serpent disrupting it entirely, Kel was already forming another one but she used his distraction to her advantage and striked at him hitting him with a lightning that disrupted his evocation.

Because of that the second serpent flickered and dropped into the ground, Rainbow capitalized on that and appeared behind him slashing at his torso, Kel was fast though and ended up with a minor injury, he rolled away and summoned more pillars of flames.

“I will kill you!” He said bursting into flame, his entire body was coated into flames and his clothes burned away, though more intense flames covered his lower body. Then he zipped against Rainbow punching her in the gut and then kicking her in the face in mid air sending her away.

Rainbow recovered and went to the offensive immediately, Kel then created a blade made of pure fire and used it to parry Rainbow’s blows. They hit each other many times but neither of them wanted to give up. With a powerful strike and a sudden spike in the power usage Rainbow managed to slice through Kel’s sword and slashed his torso. Kel though managed to touch Rainbow’s chest and then unleashed a torrent of flames that enveloped her. They both went away from the other, they were both panting from exhaustion.

‘I need to close this fast, my reserves are dangerously low I can’t take another hit like that.’ Rainbow thought worried. Suddenly a single drop hit her head making her looking up, she noticed that an enormous amount of clouds were rotating above their battleground, they were black and ready to create a downpour. An idea struck her and she started to fly up.

Kel watched her flying up before noticing the clouds and his eyes widened before he started to chase her. He was almost there but Rainbow managed to enter the clouds and then giant lightnings covered their entire surface. A drop hit him evaporating immediately on his flaming body. But also causing him to fear that single drop.

A torrent of water like a waterfall started to rain on him, the flames fizzled and sparked, they resisted as much as they could but in the end they gave up and finally died. Ken Fareh dropped on the ground completely exhausted, all of his magic was now gone all because of that mare.

“I’m not finished yet!” He shouted. “I will kill you even if it will cost me my life!” Blue flames enveloped his body and once again he rose from the ground.
“Blue Dragon!” He shouted sending an enormous dragon made of blue fire towards the heavens and towards Rainbow. Rainbow stared at the dragon and then poured every last amount of electricity in the clouds. They fizzled with barely contained charge before…

“Wrath of the Skies!” She shouted and a shower of lightning poured all over the area coating everything in their immense lights, several soldiers lost their hearing that day. Kel Fareh was hit again and again until all that he could feel was just pain and all he could see was light.

After a minute of incessant strikes the lightnings subsided, but before the attack ended a symbol glowed in the clouds, an arcane symbol that symbolizes lightning. The symbol glowed and then a powerful final lightning struck the ground scorching the earth and leaving behind the same stigma, forever embedded into the ground. Kel dropped on his knees and fell with his back on the ground, completely and utterly defeated and at the doors of death. He looked at the skies and noticed the warm rays of the sun hitting his face.

Then a rainbow colored streak landed next to him, with barely a breath he asked only one thing. “Who… defeated me?”

“I… I’m Rainbow Mercer Dash… Princess of the changelings… Don’t forget my name whenever you will go to.” Dash replied in a tired voice, she too was exhausted and barely standing.

“I… Won’t…” He said before the life exited from him like a feeble flame under the wind. Rainbow plunged her claw in his body and consumed him.

‘Such a passion, a shame it ended like this.’

I was preparing myself for the oncoming battle when the signal was shot in the sky.

Xarx looked at me and nodded. “Are you ready princess?” He asked.

“I am.” I answered briefly. The ground trembled while the canopy moved, the equestrian were coming, but our guardians were coming too. From the forest behind us dozens of Gug exited and hundreds of Ghast followed after them. The Changeling panicked seeing them but I reassured them all in the hive mind that they were ally. They calmed down and readied themselves for the battle.

‘They incoming.’ “Prepare yourself guys! They are coming!” I shouted. We waited a bit and after five minutes Pinkie contacted me telling me that their supplies have been destroyed and that they were surrounded now.

I exited the cover of the forest and waited for them to show up in the clearing where we waited them. Finally I heard the unmistakable sound of armored hooves. The bulk of Celestia attacking force was arrived. They formed a line in front of us and we did the same, a silence casted upon us and the tension could be cut with a knife.

“What are you waiting for?!” A deep voice roared from their group. “ATTACK!” And in an instant they were charging at us their rifle in fire position.

“FOR THE EVERFREE!” I shouted.

“FOR THE KING AND QUEEN!” Xarx Shouted.

“WE WILL BE FOREVER FREE!” The changelings replied and then they charged too, the majority were equipped with spears and bows but a few were using swords and other weapons, while very few sported a kind of rifle designed by Twilight. Those rifle could pack a big punch and their only ammunition was biomatter, so if there were plants or enemies in the battleground those rifles will never ran out of bullets.

I jumped in the middle of the enemy formation and hit a soldier in the face with a punch, the shockwave made four other fly away and hit their comrades, I concentrated and summoned my flames, then I breathed them out like a dragon and burned several soldiers into a crisp. I morphed my arms and put more biomass in them, then I slammed my fist in the ground raising giants stones around me, then I started to punch them and sending them against the equestrians.

I felt a chill down my spine and jumped away from my position just in time to see several skeleton hands exiting the ground trying to grab me, when they failed they returned in it and disappeared. I landed onto the ground and again the ground shacked and more hands came out of it.

‘What the hell are this things!?’ I thought, I needed to find whoever was using them and put him or her out of the battle. An idea struck me when I landed on the ground again, I started to run away from the battle until I reached the top of a hill. Then I waited.

“Already on the run?” The deep voice of before asked, I turned around and saw him exiting from behind a tree on the hill, he was a stallion with a slender figure, a coat of a deep blue, his mane was black but several streaks like flames traveled through it. He wore a purple coat with multiple skulls on it, at his neck there was a necklace made out of jaws while on his head sat a crown made of skeletal fingers. On his back there was a giant coffin, easily twice his height. He took it and slammed it on the ground.
“I’m not running. I just want to fight you one on one, you are too dangerous and I will kill you before you can touch my soldiers.” I replied.

“A wise choice, for your stallions that is. But because of that now you’re going to die. A shame.” He replied with a grin and opened his coffin, several hands exited it and started to drag themselves out from the coffin. Multiple skeletons of different creatures exited the coffin and stared at me with only blue flames as eyes.

“Who are you?! How dare you toy with the dead?!” I shouted at him, if there was something that pissed me off was the disrespect of the dead.

“The name is Rigor, not that it matters.” He said then he raised an hand and pointed at me. “Kill her.”

The skeletons immediately reacted and charged at me. Their bones rattled and they shrieked running towards me, I punched one of them and immediately it collapsed into a pile of bones. I punched the air in front of me with enough force to send out a shockwave that destroyed the other skeletons in front of me.

“That’s the better you can do? You know they are pretty weak.” I said to him squaring him.

“Yes, yes they are.” He chuckled. “But they are also very, very hard to put down.”

“Wha-” A hand grabbed my feet and tried to yank me away, I kicked the hand away and turned around, the skeletons were all reassembling themselves ready to battle again.
“I don’t care how many times you rise, I will put you again in the grave!” I shouted and kicked the air with more strength than before causing a massive shockwave that made them fall apart again, but they recomposed themselves again. This went on for a lot of time until I finally had enough of them.

Applejack defeated the skeletons again but using the short time that they needed to recompose she concentrated and started to summon her flames. They started to exit from her arms and coated her hands forming a ring around them. On her back a symbol appeared made out of fiery flames, it was a tree with multiple roots.

She charged a punch and striked a skeleton in the head setting it on fire while scattering away it’s bones. The fire burned in those accursed bones making them black, finally the flame inside the socket of the skeleton turned from blue to orange before expire.

“What have you done?” Rigor asked.

“I set it free!” Applejack shouted at him firing another shockwave filled with fire, he dodged it but it was clear that Rigor was pissed with her.
‘I don’t really know how I did it, but i’m not gonna complain about it’ She thought.

Applejack punched and burned the remaining skeletons, now that she was free of them she could focus on Rigor himself. She reached him and started to hit him in a flurry of punches, Rigor was good though and managed to avoid being hit by her.

Rigor disengaged and reached for his coffin, he thrusted a hand in it and extracted a rapier, the weapon was simple with a grey stone colour and with nothing different from a normal rapier, except a single skull on the knob of it.

Rigor then passed to the offensive and attacked Applejack with impossible speed. She didn’t expected it and was hit in the arm by the rapier. Immediately her flesh started to decompose around the wound consuming her arm. The virus regenerated the lost flesh but Applejack knew that it was only a waste and ripped off her own arm. She threw the severed arm away and regenerated another one. Meanwhile the severed limbwas now completely decomposed and only ashes remained of it.

Applejack now was completely focused on her opponent and she won’t repeat the same error again, she launched in the offensive and the fight continued.

The two skilled fighter traded blow after blow, Rigor was weaker than Applejack but he compensated the lack of strength with incredible dueling skills and finesse. The two battled each other for a while before Rigor once again disengaged and reached his coffin.

“W̵kh̸ ͞ghd͞g̛, ̢v҉kdoò ͡gdqf̡h͢. D̡qg doo͢ K͏hoo͟ vkd̶oơ ͘v̛lqj̵.҉” He recited in an arcane tongue that Applejack couldn’t understand. Immediately A giant eye opened inside the coffin and an inhuman scream exited it. An arm, an amalgamation of different arms exited the coffin. Then slowly the main body exited the coffin. It was a giant creature made out of different parts of ponies, griffons and other different creatures, it was at least four meter high, it was biped but just barely. It had multiple head and all of them were stuck in a pained expression others though were also screaming in impossible pain.

“What the hell?” Applejack said before the giant hit her from the flank and threw her into a tree two hundred meters away from the hill. Applejack recovered and sprinted from the tree and returned to the hill.

“Go Dolor.” Rigor said and the beast advented on Applejack. Applejack readied herself and dodged the several fast strike that Dolor was throwing at her. She dodged and parried but after a bit she passed to the offensive striking the abomination with a vicious blow that destroyed it’s right arm in one blow. Dolor shrieked and with it several heads in its body screamed. Then bones and flesh reformed recreating its missing arm.

Applejack threw several punches at Dolor burning it and destroying chunks of flesh every time a hit landed, Dolor was shrieking in pain but apart from that it was unfazed by Applejack’s hits.

‘This one is tough, maybe I have to step the fight up.’ A very powerful blow hit her in the face so hard that she ended up decapitated. The body of Applejack remained still for a moment before she regenerated her head.
‘Yes, time to step up the fight!’

Applejack called forth her flames, which enveloped her entire body. In the flames she created her armor then she recalled the flames inside of her. Now the armor was showing multiple veins made out of a red substance that resembled lava. Her entire body was covered in thick armor and her knuckles gained some spikes and an additional layer of fire rings.

She stayed still and then suddenly she punched the air in front of her unleashing a powerful linear explosion that caught Dolor off guard burning ninety percent of its body to a crisp, the forest behind it was hit too and an immense roaring inferno came to life eating the forest. Dolor screamed in immense pain and its other heads did it too. Applejack didn’t waste any time and neared the beast.

She readied her leg and kicked the abomination with an impossible strength, the ground under her shattered and the tree around the hill bended, the flames from the fire twisted and blinked. Dolor was hit by this powerful blow, the kick was so strong that its entire body fell apart before catching fire and burn away in the wind. All of this in less than five seconds.

“It’s your turn now, Rigor.” Applejack threatened and ran towards him in a charge, Rigor readied himself but his eyes widened when he saw Applejack pass him. His eyes widened even more when he saw that Applejack was running towards his coffin!

“Noooooo!” He shouted but too late, Applejack reached the coffin and with powerful punch destroyed it in thousands of pieces, immediately after, thousands of souls emerged from the coffin, they were so many that created a tornado of souls. The sky opened for a moment and a pure light scaturited from it, the souls all gathered towards that entrance and then disappeared.

“What have you done! You ruined years of gathering!” Rigor shouted, anger and hatred clouded his mind and he made a fatal error. He charged Applejack openly.

Applejack noticed him and sidestepped his sloppy attack. She grabbed the rapier with her hand snapping it in the middle, then she took Rigor by his neck and raised him from the ground.
“Rigor, for your sins and crimes. I, Applejack Mercer, will gladly send you to hell!” She shouted before slamming him into the ground and stomping on his head devouring him.

‘The battle isn’t over yet. I need to return to my squad. I need to inform dad on that castle though…’

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ TWILIGHT POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After the signal was shot in the air I motioned to my squad to move and so we started to march through the forest heading towards the fleet of ships above Ponyville, where I thought the commanders should be.

We neared the outskirt of the city and a tremendous explosion went off on one of the ships, the ship was obligated to retreat while the others remained stationary. I morphed and took the appearance of a captain of the Neverdawn, the other three shapeshifted into more soldiers and we headed towards the ships.

“Alt! Identify yourselves.” A soldier said.

“I’m captain Iron Heart, let me pass.” I said.

“Yes, sir!” The soldier replied saluting.

We passed the soldier and neared the magical elevator, I gave my rank and name and they allowed us into it and with it we reached the deck of the ship.

“Welcome on the Radiance captain.” A soldier said. I nodded and explored the ship. The ship was massive easily 200 meters long and 50 wide. The ships was lifted by four engines, the ship was white with golden pieces on the sides, it had three different level not counting the lower decks. There were hundreds of guard on the ship, we asked one of them where were the commanders and they were more than happy to oblige.

‘Fools.’ I smirked, thanked the guard and headed towards the indicated position, we entered the war cabinet and searched for them. I found one of the commander leaned on a table with multiple maps on it. I didn’t waste any time I created a single spike impaled him and consumed him.

‘Several ships around the forest and other three camps in the proximities of the forest. Interesting…’ I contacted Ferdinand in the Hive mind and asked him to go to the other ships and destroy them.

“As you command, princess.” He said bowing closing the transmission.

‘That will take care of the ships.’ I also contacted Woodman, Regina and Viribus asking them to deal with the other three camps.

I exited the room and stood in front of the door, I would make anyone go away while my squad took everything of strategic value, Everything was going smoothly but suddenly I felt a massive spike in magical energy and ducked avoiding a purple ray directed at me. I searched for the font and I saw a tall white stallion, his mane was an electric blue while his eyes were azure.

He was wearing a full purple armor with the symbol of an Omega on it.
“You are not a normal guard are you? No, they are not that fast reacting. You are either Hunter himself or one of his daughters so which one?” He asked.

I dropped the disguise and answered him. “I’m Twilight Mercer, who are you?” I asked.

“The name is Shining Armor, a pleasure to know you.” He said with a mocking bow.

“How did you know that I wasn’t a real guard?” I inquired.

“I didn’t! Hahahaha” He said laughing.

“So what? You are saying that you would have shot him, your ally, because you wanted to?!” I shouted. At his nod I stomped the ground angrily. “You monster…”

I created my blade, and I made sure for it to be particularly sharp. “I’ll clean this world from your filth!” I stated and in a burst of speed I charged him, his eyes widened and was too slow to react so I hit him with the plate of the sword knocking him away through a window and throwing him in the center of the deck.

I followed him and entered my battle stance, a style that I learned from Ferdinand. My blade was in front of me high up and with the plate towards my enemy. Meanwhile Shining stood up and swept off some blood from his snout.

“You will pay for this.” He said, and leaned his hand forward, in it a purple glow created and soon a full blade generated from it. A long sword with a strange mist that poured from the blade.

He charged at me and in a heartbeat he was at my right ready to slash at me I raised my blade and paired his blow. My eyes widened though when his blade started to cut through mine. I jumped away and regenerated the blade.

‘That sword is made of pure raw magic… I need to counteract it but how?’ I thought but Shining didn’t leave me any time to create a good plan and in a second it was again my blade against his. His blade started to cut again and in desperation I channeled electricity through my blade electrocuting him.

He jumped away this time and glared at me, his hand was shaking and I knew I landed a good blow on him. Suddenly he dispersed his blade and created a lance, he readied himself and charged, he used the tip of the spear, impaling it into the gorund to pass over me catching me off guard, he landed behind me and impaled me where my heart should be if I had a normal biology.

True I didn’t have any heart but that lance hurted a lot. I screamed in pain and rotated my arms and head to face him, then I grabbed the lance and yanked it out of my body.

“And you called me a monster eh.” He said, throwing away his lance and conjuring a warhammer.

“I’m an evolved. Not a monster.” I replied. “A being is a real monster only when it acts like one.”

“Keep telling yourself that. Monster.” He laughed.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THIRD PERSON POV.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Twilight was infuriated by Shining words and so poured electricity and flames in her blade creating a fire that crackled with barely restrained energy, at the same time a symbol appeared on her blade, it was an ancient symbol that meant magic. Shining was surprised by this, he never before saw someone wield two elements at the same time. But he was also dead set on killing Twilight so he focused on that.

Shining readied his warhammer and charged her, he struck her with a powerful blow from above, Twilight blocked it and the shockwave was so powerful that a gust of wind raised from them. The other soldiers were too scared or they were enjoying the show too much to go there and help. The clash through the powerful captain of the Omegas started and no one wanted to lose the show.

Twilight threw Shining away and took the offensive slashing and thrusting her sword at him with precise strike that left no opening for him to exploit, Shining though was extremely skilled too and paired blow after blow showing an impressive strength.

Twilight finally managed to throw away Shining’s warhammer and then thrusted forward hitting his shoulder. Shining cried in pain and jumped away from Twilight. He conjured a bow and started to fire arrows at her. Twilight countered each and every arrow with grace cutting them in the center splitting them in two. After another arrow she threw a fireball at him forcing him to dodge, Shining dodged the attack but Twilight created ten other smaller swords on her main one and in a swing she threw them at him.

Shining managed to conjure a shield in time and avoided being impaled by the swords. He was starting to feel tired though, the battle was now several minutes long. He focused and conjured several purple bubbles in the air, he commanded to them to attack and they launched themselves at Twilight.

Twilight dodged as many as she could but one managed to envelope her leg. Shining smirked and snapped his fingers, instantaneously the bubble collapsed and destroyed Twilight’s leg. Twilight gritted her teeth in pain and regenerated the missing limb. Shining called forth other bubbles and ten of them popped in existence.

‘This is bad, he’s strong.’ Twilight though and started to search for a pattern or an opening while dodging the bubbles. She didn’t find any opportunity and in the meantime she lost her legs and half of her body because of the bubbles. But she wasn’t going to surrender, she focused and created dozens of electric filled fireballs. She threw them at Shining, he tried to protect himself but there were too many of them.

When the projectile impacted with his body he was burned and electrocuted at the same time, the action beared an incredible amount of pain within. Twilight was panting for the usage of so much magic, she managed to remain on two feet but her magical reserves were almost depleted. She was sure that Shining was dead and she walked to him to consume his body and destroy the ship, but a purple laser traversed the air and hit her in the chest.

Twilight cried in pain and surprise to the sudden hit, she fell to one knee but she managed to stood up again.

“I-’huff’- I will not DIE!” Shining shouted with his arm raised pointed at her, he summoned a giant sphere twelve meters wide.
“If I can’t win, you won’t too!”

Shining was ready to make the sphere collapse, starting a chain effect that would have destroyed him and the ship but a sudden shot traveled the thick air, a pink burst of concentrated magic came from the top of the ship. The shot landed squarely on Shining heart. The shock made his spell fade and the sphere dissolved in thin air. Twilight looked up and saw a pink mare with pink and yellow hair, she wore a green camouflage and on her chest several ribbons adorned her uniform, she had a giant rifle and from its end a trail of smoke exited. The mare said nothing, she jumped and landed on the deck in front of Twilight.

She took Shining body from his armor and tossed him to Twilight.

“I must thank you Magic, without you I would have never be able to kill him.” She said.

“Who are you? Why did you help me?” Twilight inquired.

“I’m Mi Amore Cadenza but please call me Cadence. As for the why well this scumbag always tried to get in my pants if you know what I mean, his method were brutal and sickening. His demise bring peace to my heart so thank you. I won’t fight you this time, but we will see each other soon enough. Bring my greetings to Hunter, bye.” And said that she used a little device and teleported away.

Twilight picked up Shining body and devoured it.

‘Good riddance indeed.’

Suddenly she heard a massive roar and Aathurnas exited from the forest and flew right after her avoiding the shots from the ships and shrugging off the lesser ones.

“Princess, Master sent me to aid you in the destruction of the ships.” Aathurnas said in mid-air.

“Only you?” Twilight asked.

“Nope, me too!” Pinkie said cheerfully popping out from behind Twilight.

“Pinkie!” Twilight shouted in surprise, you will give me an heart attack one of these days.” Twilight said.

“Silly, we don’t have a heart hehehe.” Pinkie said giggling.

“Come on we have a job to do.” Twilight replied.

That day a third of Celestia’s airships fell to the might of the evolved.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I watched the battle from the hive mind, I commanded the guardians to strike in the most vulnerable positions and thus ensuring the victory of my troops. My daughters shined through the battlefield, I saw them fight and they became so strong.

‘Cadence… What is that you really want?’ I thought, I couldn’t understand that mare, first she try to kill me then she helps my daughter only because she disliked Shining. There had to be something more than that.

While I was thinking I looked around me, I was at the top of a mountain in the centre of the Everfree forest, from it I could see the vast canopy stretch towards the horizon. Suddenly I sensed another presence, it was fast, strong and it was running towards me.

“Sunset.” I called in the Hive mind. “Go to the city, I will take this one. Should I fail, hide and defend them. Do not try to fight it ok?”

“Phil… I-I can’t leave you there alone, I can-” I interrupted her.

“No. I won’t let you endanger yourself. My decision is final, remain into the city. Please Sunny…” I pleaded.

“Alright… Come back, please…” She said.

“I will. Don’t worry.” I said aloud and prepared myself for my foe. I saw a giant figure four meters high, it was running at me destroying everything in his path, then it’s voice reached me.

“H̴h̕͞h͏͢҉h͞u͟͜ń͞t͝͝͏è̡͡è̕ȩèe̴̡r̨̧͘rr̷̷̀r̶̴̵!̶͠” He said with a strange voice. That voice reminded me of someone…

‘Wait, I know that voice.’ “BECKER!” I shouted with venom in my voice. I jumped from the peak of the mountain and hit him at full speed with my hammerfists pinning him into the ground and creating a giant crater easily thirty meters wide. I picked him up and punched him away with all my strength, throwing him a hundred meters away from me.

I looked at him better when he got up and my eyes widened, that wasn’t Becker anymore. It was similar to the super evolved, with his pale skin and the bloodshot eyes, his arms were very thick and from his back several tendrils squirmed and lashed out at everything. Everything that made him a pony was gone.

“Hhhunteeeerrr!” He shouted again and charged at me, I was caught off guard from his extreme speed, he hit me square in the chest and launched me away, I shot two tendrils on the ground and using my momentum I created a slingshot, like a bullet I hit him with the power of a train launching him against the wall of the mountain. While he was recovering I grabbed his arm and slammed him into the ground cracking it even more.

Becker though wasn’t dead and suddenly grabbed my arm and threw me away, he morphed his arms and created big sharp claws, he thrusted them into the ground and from it a large amount of spikes exited chasing me. I jumped and ran around avoiding them, they finally stopped and I restarted my attack. I created Gungnir and used its property to handle it as a short sword, I passed behind him and cut off two of his tendrils.

Becker hissed and screamed then he backhanded me making me fly away, he then took one of his tendrils from the ground and attached it to his arm creating a whipfist. He started to attack me from the distance forcing me to keep the distances. I jumped away from his range and charged Gungnir.

“Fragmentum Requiescati Eternum.” I said and threw Gungnir at him, the lance soared the air and hit him, he tried to shield himself but the lance passed through him creating a hole in his body, around the wound the flesh started to die away withering. Becker morphed and confined the dying cells into his right arm and then he cut it off. The arm died away and he regenerated a new one.

Becker looked at me with pure hatred and screamed in the air. Immediately his body heated up and he turned a bright red, then without any hesitation he was gone, next thing I felt was a powerful blow from behind and then I hit the ground.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THIRD PERSON POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Becker was completely red with smoke that exited from his mouth and torso, he punched Philip with so much strength that the crater expanded even more reaching fifty meters in diameter. Becker angrily stomped and punched Philip who was still recovering from the blow.

Philip reacted and blocked one of Becker punches, Philip then enhanced himself with lightning and hit him in the arm with a punch at mach 2 destroying Becker limb. Philip now free ran away and enhanced his senses, this time he saw Becker move and reacted. Becker tried to punch him in the back again but this time Philip did a backflip landing on Becker’s back. After that he summoned Gungnir and pierced Becker’s head with it, then he twisted the lance and beheaded him.

Becker was flailing his arms in the air trying to found Philip who was already on the ground reading another devastating blow. He charged Gungnir with an enormous amount of electricity and the released it all in a single instant generating a powerful lightning that scorched the earth and hit Becker. Becker without a head couldn’t scream but his movements made Philip know that he was in deep pain.

Finally Becker managed to regenerate his head and became even more furious. His body pulsed and twisted from his back twelve tendrils emerged, each one morphed into a different weapon. Becker charged again and his weapon followed along, Philip tried to dodge as best as he could but he couldn’t go without a single error, eventually Philip got hit and Becker took hold of him.

He threw Philip in the ground and used all of his weapons to bash him into a paste, Philip though created a tunnel under him and escaped leaving only an empty husk behind. Philip summoned Gungnir and charged it with immense amounts of electricity, in the sky black clouds formed and started to rain. Philip jumped and landed on Becker thrusting his weapon inside Becker, then a lightning bolt struck the lance and hit Becker as well.

Becker screamed in pain but endured it and grabbed the lance throwing it away, he then opened his mouth and fired a jet of hot plasma coating the entire crater in extremely hot lava. Becker threw one of his weapon, a greatsword, at Philip and then he jumped in the air.

Philip dodged the sword but failed to notice Becker now in the air, Becker widened his arms and dozens of tendrils exited from his body coating his body making him bigger and bigger. After ten seconds Becker fully transformed into a titanic beast, it was a hundred meters tall, his torso was fourty meters thick and each and everyone of his arms were immensly strong he had dozens of them and five heads each one of them with burning vapor that exited from their open maws showing hundreds of sharp teeth. He roared and attacked Philip.

‘Just perfect.’ Philip deadpanned and started to dodge the incoming attacks, the other heads started to spit acid at him making everything even more difficult. Everytime Becker twisted or hit something, he generated a mighty shockwave that raised big clouds of dust. Philip was out of ideas to bring him down so he tried something desperate. He launched himself at Becker and created his whipfist, then with his electric powers he coated it in hot plasma. He threw itin a wide arc at Becker's heads blinding them. The titan roared in pain and flailed his arms wildly.

He summoned Gungnir once again and charged the invocation spell, but this time he used every ounce of strength he had in his body and the lance reacted, more runes glowed more brightly than ever.

“Aeterna iecit” He shouted and threw the lance which seemed to gain more power for every secon it was soaring the air, Gungnir hit Becker in the chest and the immense strength behind it destroyed his entire torso leaving a giant hole where the lance passed. His arms started to fall and he returned to his old form. From the remains of the titan, a giant hand raised and Becker stood up.

Philip was tired, he used everything he had against him and he stood up again. The battle was so intense that the crater widened even more than before. Becker catched Philip and held him by his neck in the air, Becker thrusted an arm inside Philip and tried to consume him.

Philip’s body shacked and spasmed trying to resist Becker intrusion.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After Becker tried to consume me I found myself inside a strange room, all around me I could see planets and stars. The floor was made out of the night sky and all around me constellation and galaxies danced.
“Where am I?” I asked aloud. The room trembled and from the air the reality shifted and twisted, the space itself opened and a figure came out of it. It was completely black, with millions of stars that coated its body, its face was a mystery shrouded in pure darkness.

“Who are you?” I asked it.

“I’m Space.” He said, and then he pointed a finger at me. “But you are not ready to know me yet. I’ll help you this time, slay the twelve and return here.” He said and placed his finger on my chest. And everything went black.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ THIRD PERSON POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Something happened, Philip body shined with an extremely bright light and his eyes opened, in them there was pictured tha vastity of creation, Becker arms disappeared in a mist and all around Philip the reality started to twist and bend.

“Twisted creature. Your days ends now.” He said and snapped his finger, in that simple gesture he splitted a single atom in two. And everything became white, a cataclysmic explosion tore through the forest, from everywhere everyone saw a second sun, then a giant cloud that raised from the centre of the forest up to the sky. Suddenly a blue dome sparked to life and the giant wave of death stopped in midair against it. The giant shockwave though passed and while the Changelings suffered no damage from it, many equestrian ended with ruptured eardrums. The light only faded away after minutes from the explosion.

When the light vanished and the dust settled the girls rushed towards the event. There they searched for their father, they found him in the centre of a giant crater 5 Km wide and hundreds of meters deep, he was standing, looking up into the sky. In his hand he had the head of a strange beast, then he consumed it and looked around confused.

“W-what? Girls? What happened?” He asked.

“Dad I don’t know how, but you just created an atomic explosion.”Twilight said.

“WHAT!?” He shouted. “How?”

“We don’t know.” Twilight said.

“How many died? How many have I killed?” He said grimly.

Fluttershy smiled and answered. “No one dad. A giant blue dome appeared and it stopped the explosion. The only one that is dead is the one you just devoured.”

“Becker.” Philip said. “It was him, I saw his memories but still I can’t understand why he did something like that. He tried to consume the hive in Canterlot but his plan backfired. He was overwhelmed by the virus and it brought him to madness. Then he died at my hands.” He explained.
“I remember encountering a strange being, he called himself Space. He surely did something that caused the explosion.”

“Phil! Are you ok? What happened!?” Sunset screamed in the hive mind extremely worried.

“I’m okay my phoenix. The battle is over, the equestrians are fleeing and we defended our home. The earthquake was caused by me because I detonated an atomic device somehow. Anyway we are coming home, I’ll tell you every detail there”

“Let’s go home girls, our battle is over. Now we need to reassure the population and then we will make preparations for a long journey.” He said.

“A long journey?!” Asked Pinkie.

“Where are we going” Inquired Applejack.

“All around the world to find the Twelve beasts.” Philip replied.

“It will be wonderful, we could see so many things!” Said Rarity excited.

“Woo hoo an adventure! I’m in!” Said Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy remained silent but nodded anyway, and with that the whole family headed towards home.
