Hokuto vs Black Heart Crystal! A Step toward Peace!

“How much further?” Flash asked, riding on the back of a motorcycle with Sunset driving.

“Just a few more miles, we’ll be Sombra’s castle soon.” Sunset answered with her eyes focus up ahead.

Riding alongside them, the rest of the mane 7 on their own motorcycles except for Twilight instead riding on Spike who seem to have gotten faster than any normal dog over the years able to keep up with any fast vehicles, and Rainbow Dash with her super speed. They all have serious determination in their eyes as they make their way to the enemy’s stronghold ready to take on Sombra head on with any hesitations.

Behind them are others who wish to join them in the final battle against sombra’s army while some stay behind to keep the place safe.

“Alright guys, you all know what to do; we take on the soldiers keeping them busy while Flash make his way to Sombra himself.” Sunset reminded them of the plan.

“Don’t worry, we got this!” Rainbow smirked, not worry at all.

“Don’t get to cocky, Rainbow Dash, you have to come back for Celestia and Scootaloo.” Flash said, remembering what Pinkie said about her and the two being very close.

“I will, we became a family over exchanging cups of Sake and promise to watch out for each other.” Rainbow explained and took out a gold-yellow wing-shaped pendant necklace, this once belonged to Spitefire before she died.

“(This is it, big sis, you’ll finally be able to rest in peace and I’ll protect our family like I promised!)” Rainbow thought determined as she increase her with everyone follow her lead for a bit.

(Sombra’s castle, throne room)

In a large room that to look like to be made of crystal, sitting on the throne in the far back of the room is the man who calls himself the king, the Black Crystal-hearted King Sombra. He learned the hard way from the nuke war that the strongest lives and the weak dies, and he was the strong after killing off those who would get in his way as he began rising his kingdom from the ground. Those who wishes to follow him will be part of his great army and will be rewarded for loyalty, but to those who would even dare to act against him will be kill without hesitation.

He heard a loud knocking from the doors, meaning it must be the soldiers guarding outside.

“Enter.” Sombra said as the doors open, and one soldier of his elite came running in, then stop himself at 20 feet from Sombra as he bows his head to the floor.

“Your darkness, I bring… bad news regarding on the attack at the Wondercolts base.” The soldier said nervously, knowing he’ll be punish for his failure.

“Bad news, you say?” Sombra said calmly though you can see the anger in his eyes.

“Yes, we gave them the final warning to surrender and as you expected they choose to retaliate.”

“And they defeated your squad?” Sombra asked knowing how stubborn those girls with powers can be.

“N-no sir, at was actually one man.” The soldier confessed which made Sombra shock.

“One man… defeated a whole squadron by himself?” Sombra asked again, now showing his expression of anger.

“Yes, he was strong and fast we couldn’t know what happened before it was too late, then he had me deliver a message for you.” The soldier mentioned the last part.

“Really, and what is this message he wants to give me?” Sombra wondered what could this man want to say to him.

“A-actually, he said that my body will be his message to y” The soldier suddenly paused not finishing his sentence as he felt his body aching, twisting, and his chest and head expand then explores with blood popping out.

Sombra didn’t flinch from the sudden death of one of his elite soldiers laying on his own pool blood in his throne room. He quickly knew that this was the ‘message’ from that one man, knowing he’s coming for the king soon to claim his life.

“So, you wish to challenge me then come and meet your end by my hands like all those before you!” Sombra clutched his fist, accepting the challenge.

(With Flash and Mane 7)

“There it is.” Sunset said as she and everyone stop looking at the strong structure that is Sombra’s stronghold.

“The place looks like it’s made of crystal.” Flash said.

“That because it is, darling.” Rarity glared at the place, shocking Flash.

“According to my big sister Maud, there used to be a mining field of crystals before it was abandoned, and it seem Sombra is using his slaves to make work on them with the crystals.” Pinkie informed of what she learned from Maud.

“Anyone he captured will either be slaves to work none-stop with days or join his army swearing loyalty only to him.” Fluttershy added with an angry look on her face.

“Well, all that’s about to change.” Sunset said as they all agree.

“Time to get this party started.” Flash said before they ride off to the front gate.

On the other side of the front gate, the soldiers are minding their own business guarding things and watching over the slaves doing their and perhaps punish them for any screw ups they do like whipping them and dropping them in a deep hole, barely giving them any food or water for days.

Then suddenly, the gate burst open as the doors fly cross the field knocking away any soldiers it comes into contact with as the girls and Flash all charge in.

“Holy tacos! It’s the Wondercolts, sound the alarm!” A soldier said before they start charging at them with their weapons.

Rainbow Dash jumps up spread out her wings flying high in the air and dives down making a Sonic Rainboom hitting the ground to create powerful rainbow-colored shockwaves blowing most of the soldiers away. Applejack use her strength to lift the soldiers like battering-ram throwing them around and hitting them onto other soldiers. Pinkie Pie start throwing cupcakes at the soldiers using her exploding powers to them go BOOM on the soldiers knocking them out and cover in frosty. Rarity blocks the incoming bullets with her diamond shields and throwing them to slice through their chest. Twilight and Spike fights them off with Twilight using her magic to take the guns using them against them, and Spike knocks them down with his paws and teeth.

Sunset and Flash stand together looking around until they spotted the main castle and Sunset turn to the girls.

“Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, you girls take care of the soldiers.” Sunset ordered as they nodded.

“Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, and Spike, free the slaves and get them out here fast.” She said as they nodded two heading to where most of all of the slaves are.

“Flash!” Sunset looked at him in the eyes pausing for a moment.

“Kick Sombra’s fucking ass!” Sunset snarled, Flash nodded before surprise kiss Sunset on the lips and running off to the castle as he punches some soldiers away and they die.

Flash ran fast toward the castle, he stops for a moment looking at the large pointy building in front of him thinking how cruel and evil Sombra is knowing the things he’s done cannot got unpunished, he ran again to make his way inside.

(With Sombra)

Sombra is looking outside of his balcony seeing the destruction in his kingdom and his forces are being taken out quicker than realizes, but he isn’t worry believing to be a temporary setback before he turns things around himself.

But not before dealing with an unexpected guess.

“It’s impressive that you made it this far, on your own.” Sombra commented turning around to see a young man being 20-30 feet away from him.

“I had some help, but it just going to be you and me now.” Flash glared.

“So, you must be the man who defeated my elite earlier. Then that means you’re with the Wondercolts, how come I never heard of you before?” Sombra asked.

“I just met up with them, I was actually friends with them at Canterlot High before the nuke war.” Flash said clutching his fists tighter.

“I see, then it would make sense that you come here for you ‘friends’, which is very stupid thinking you can relay on others when you can only do things yourself.” Sombra said bringing out his fist.

“Those with powers are meant to rule over all others, towering them as stepping stones for glory, only those who have power are the ones to live as other die.” Sombra bragged on, getting on Flash’s nerves.

“Then it times to show you the power of Hokuto Shinken!” Flash proclaimed getting in his fight stance.

“Hmm, a fool you like deserve only when challenging me.” Sombra smirked as he throws away his cape and position himself to fight.

Flash and Sombra stare at each other for a moment or two until Sombra made the first move by charging at Flash throwing a punch but the younger fighter dodges though he felt his cheek being cut.

“Haha, I’ve trained my body so strong that I can even cut through the crystals like butter with just a punch!” Sombra smiled sinisterly.

Sombra continue his assault with barrage of punches as Flash counters with blocking and clashing his fists against his foe. The two exchange some blows to each other but remain standing, Sombra took out the drape throwing it at Flash as he cuts it in half though by the time he did Sombra was already behind him ready to strike. However, Flash’s leg slash-kick the tyrant king on the chest without even looking.

It was one of the Hokuto Shinken’s form, Go no Ken (Fist of Strength) technique: Musō Insatsu (Unconscious Shadow Kill). An instinctive counter-attack.

Sombra did not expect to meet someone with this high level of skills in martial arts, especially learning this art he called Hokuto Shinken, but he wasn’t worry that this boy hasn’t seen his true strength yet.

“Itten Shō (Point Chime)” Flash performs a powerful uppercut to Sombra who blocks it with his arms as the force send him flying backward a few feet.

“Hmm, you’re more powerful then I thought.” Sombra commented.

“I’m surprise that you were able to withstand that.” Flash said.

“Please, I’ve faced many who dare to challenge my might, and none live to tell about.” Sombra said before charging at Flash again and they clash of punches and kicks.

Flash admits that Sombra is a skill warrior feeling the strength of his intense training he mentioned earlier, but that will soon fall change.

The two collided their fists with so much force into them, cracks has appeared beneath their feet and a strong shockwave burst from the impact. Sombra manages to kick his fists away leaving him wide open.

“Die!” Sombra shouted, but his movements suddenly stop and blood squirt out of his forehead as he gasps in pain.

“What, but how…?” Sombra confused.

“It took some time before that attack finally kicks in.” Flash said, Sombra didn’t knew what he meant until he realizes that attack he used on him earlier when he blocked it.

“It’s over, I know all your moves. Your finish.” Flash declared.

“Fool, it is YOU who is finish!” Sombra shouted charging at Flash full speed with his fist ready to kill him.

Flash raise his fist up above his head powering it up with his Kai as Sombra is a near feet away launching his fist toward Flash’s face to rip his head off, the Hokuto warrior’s fist made contact first against Sombra’s head making him stunned then he launches a barrage of rapid-fire punches. The punches were moving so fast that they almost look like blurs of blue auras and each strike were so strong that they’re breaking mostly all of Sombra’s bones. Finishing him off with a single kick, he crosses his arms as Sombra whirl away from him.

“Raretsu Ken (Gauze Fissure Fist)”

Sombra screams from the top of his lungs as he flew over the floor and near the edge of the balcony.

“NO?! This can’t be, I am King Sombra! I… am… King… Sombra?!” Sombra screamed before his body flew outside the balcony then explored with blood spread out and rains down on top of the down dead king’s statue.

The Mane 7 and soldiers near the statue saw the blood falling from the sky looking up to see Flash standing on the balcony as he looks down seeing his friends doing okay.

One of the soldiers drop his weapon and ran off shouting the Sombra kingdom is finish as others follow his lead, though some remain where they are dropping their weapons and cheer that Sombra is finally dead as they were forced to join him and that he had their families killed.

The girls couldn’t be any happier than they felt in years, the longtime enemy that has been trying to kill the for years is gone forever and their home with everyone they care for is safe. Sunset looks up smiling at Flash as she still remembers the kiss he gave her before and felt glad she did, knowing full well she loves him.

(Later)

“Aww, do you really have to go?” Pinkie asked sad. Flash has just told the girls that he’s leaving to continue his journey.

“Yes, there are still others out there who still believes in hope need saving. I will continue on fighting as this is the path of Hokuto.” Flash explained.

“Well, just don’t be a stranger partner. Come visit anytime you like.” Applejack said winking at him.

“And spare with me sometime, I really like to see more of your moves!” Rainbow smirked.

“Sure.” Flash chuckled as he grabs the bag with some food and water given to him by Celestia as a reward for saving everyone and ending Sombra once and for all.

Sunset walks up to him and hold his hands into hers.

“Promise you’ll come back to me in one piece.” Sunset said.

“I will.” Flash said before the two kiss each other while the others squeal in excited, mostly Rarity being a little loud.

The kiss ends in a full minute and Flash starts walking into the wasteland heading off towards the horizon as the girls watch him go knowing that he’s going to help a lot of people in the world becoming their Savior.

Flash walks on through as the scene changes from day to nighttime, from flat landscapes to tall mountain-like rocks, and sometimes take a break for a bit before continue walking.

“(I will continue fighting on, I am the Successor of Hokuto Shinken will bring peace with my fists.)” Flash thought as he spotted a town up head and walks there.
