A New Journey For A New Prince

While Bane struggled in The Nightmare Realm, Durunga was awake, facing Moral Void alone.

With Bane down, Moral Void launched a series of black balls of energy at Durunga at high speed. Durunga deflected them with ease as he rushed at Moral avoid.

Moral Void lept to the right, and his horn lit up. "VOID IMPLOSION!" Moral Void exclaimed. A black blanket of energy wrapped Durunga up, and began to constrict him.

Durunga remained calm and begun to become more transparent, shifting into a mere shadow just before the pressure could crush him down.

Durunga then slipped free, melting into the shadow of the surrounding buildings and suddenly his presence could be felt from every single shadow in the town.

Moral Voids coat stood on end at this new feeling, tensing up as he began to blast the buildings one by one to reduce the amount of shadows nearby.

Durunga watched safely from the shadows, and moved under Moral Void. Durunga stabbed upwards from Moral Void's shadow and Moral Void sensed the attack too late to get away unscathed. Apocalypse ripped into the inside of Moral Void's hind right leg while he jumped.

Durunga rose from the ground, pursuing his target ruthlessly. He swiped Armageddon at the airborn Black Mage, landing his mark at Moral Void's abdomin, but missed the targeted organ, that being the stomach.

Still rising, Durunga flipped himself over Moral Void, kicking the now gasping unicorn mage in the jaw hard enough to pulverize granite. This lead to Moral Void spiking for the ground head first hard, and Durunga decended with Apocalypse in a downward thrust. Moral Void landed hard but managed to roll out of the way and buck Durunga with one hoof landing on his chin, and the other landing on his chest for a heart-check.

Durunga was sent flying straight back, his feet stumbling as he cane to a skidding atop and grins. "Not a bad impact for a Black Magic User!" Durunga said, wiping his chin to see that he was bleeding.

Moral Void panted, growling in rage as he began to change tactics on Durunga now. Moral Void's blood became solid after his horn lit up with a black and dark blue aura. The blood now became a whip with a blade at the end, dark red in color and more than fifteen feet long in length. Moral Void began to swing and lash at Durunga with it.

Durunga dodged and blocked, but one lash wrapped around Apocalypse and the sword was snatched out of Durunga's hand. Durunga switched to two handed wielding as he rushed Moral Void wrecklessly. Moral Void lashed Durunga a few times as Durunga ignored the blows and swung savagely at Moral Void and landed a few of the slashes. Moral Void screamed out as Armageddon tore flesh. This however, was only part of the damage dealt, and Durunga spun, slicing Moral Voids horn in half.

Moral Void screamed in agony as Durunga went to spin once more to thrust gis blade into Moral Voids chest, but his magic wasn't like a typical unicorns magic.

Moral Void summoned a Ghoul to take the stab for him as two pony ghouls latched to Durunga's arms and pulled him down. Durunga went to flip himself free just as Moral Void launched a burst of white hot flames into Durunga's back mid-flip. This burnt Durunga's back as he grunted and rolled to the side, swiping one of the pony ghouls heads off, and he turned inti a shadow to phase through the second one.

Returning to a solid state, Durunga went straight for Apocalypse, but was interrupted by a wave of those same white hot flames, forcing him to stop.

Durunga growled as he spun to face Moral Void, who looked royally pissed.

Moral Void rushed at Durunga while lashing at him again as Durunga pulled bearby shadows to him. The shadows only blocked the blood whips lashes as Durunga shoulder-checked Moral Void, only to have a surprise attack from a pool of blood behind Durunga, and got a serated blade made of blood to his lower left chest.

Durunga screamed out in rage and pain as he snatched Moral Void up by the throat and began to choke him. Moral Void summoned four pony ghouls and the minions tackled Durunga, forcing him to let Moral Void go.

Coughing Moral Void tried to focus his arcane energy to stab Durunga again, but failed. Durunga backed up after worming his way free from the ghouls as he pulled more shadows.

The ahadows formed a dome over Moral Void as he began to shrink it and turn the shadow dome into a solid shadow that was stronger than titanium.

"Crushing Shadow!!" Durunga called out and slowly began to make his hand close into a fist, and Durunga lifted his hand up, the dome becoming a sphere. "Sphere Of Despair!!" Durunga said as the sphere lifted inti the air. "COLLAPSE!!" He yelled out as he began to rapidky shrink the sphere. Soon a screan of both pain and fear was heard, and shortly after that the sound of bones crunching was heard followed by silence.

Durunga released the now backetball sized sphere and dropped the crunched up body, shortly after Bane woke up in a tear-stained gasp.

Bane got up and looked at the blood soaked battlefield, wondering what the fuck he missed and asked Durunga.

"What the hell did I miss?!?!" Bane yelled as he looked around.

Durunga sighed, holding his chest. "He put up a better fight than most Black Magic Users." He said bluntly as the whole town grew brighter.

"Thank you strong souls. We may now rest in peace at long last." A series of mysterious voices said simultaneously.

Bane looked around and could swear he saw transparent ponies huddled around them, each smiling warmly at them and Durunga fell over, passed out from exhaustion.

Bane nodded and smiled back. "Anytime ponies, may you have a peaceful eternity." Bane said and the spirits used their last moments in this world to heal Durungas more severe wounds before vanishing.
