Again, the clash of swords echoed throughout the forest clearing. The combat of the three god creatures punctuated by shrill blasts of weaponry marking the fighting of the grunt soldiers surrounding them.

Whilst it may have been two against one, the bipedal creature was far stronger and more proficient with his weapon than the two ponies.

The human's greatsword was magnificent to behold, a glowing blue blade spouting lightning atop a golden handle with a flawless ruby on it's pommel. But the weapon itself was nothing when compared to the skill with which it's wielder used it, the strokes were fast yet soft and flowed like water.

Yet, as battle dragged on, the human seemed to slow, his movements became more clunky and powered by momentum more than anything else. But he was still able to beat back the sisters, the two gradually having their guards whittled down by the relentless heavy strikes.

Finally, the younger of the two, Luna, collapses to the ground, a grave wound crossing her chest. Her older sister cries out to her, but is quickly forced back on the defence. With the human being seemingly revitalised by Luna's faltering, he swung out thrive in quick succession, Celestia's guard breaking underneath the sword. She was thrown backwards, collapsing heavily onto the ground, the human standing but metres from her began to speak:

"Do you not see Celestia? You are defeated! I, Gideon, am master of Equestria," he howled in victory, his voice warped by unseen dark forces.

As he strode towards her, sword prepared to land the killing blow, a shout of defiance erupted from the forest. A single golden armoured Royal Guard charged the human Gideon, spear raised. With a malicious laugh, Gideon sliced the pony in twain with his sword, barely a glance given to the pony which lay perfectly halved next to him.

As Gideon raised his sword to slide off Celestia's head, she launched all that remained of her magic power at him. He dropped his sword to guard position, as if having expected her to try such a thing.

"You think you can defeat me?" He sneered, "you were but a filly when I found you; you will be dust when I'm through with you!" He slowly began advancing.

"No!" A magically enhanced voice echoed behind him, before the resucitated Luna launched a similar bolt into his back.

As the bolts struck him, his sword fell, implanting into the ground. His body spasmed as he bellowed:

"NO! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!" With a final scream of anger and agony, he fell backwards to the ground. Body now stone and face forever contorted in a murderous snarl.


Author's Note

So. Here it is. The mutated love child of my imagination and My Little Pony.

My question is, does we allow this to live and continue. Or do I simply put a bolt shell through it's head and bury it out back.
