Terror in Equestria 11: Death and Destruction

After a bloody battle that had claimed tens of thousands of lives, all was silent at the tower. Colgate stood on her balcony looking over all the corpses watching closely to see if anypony on either side had survived. She knew that Lightning Storm fell in the battle but then one thing crossed her mind, Dark Night. She only remembered seeing him get blasted by energy, not being killed. She knew that he would likely be laying near where she had her confrontation with Ruby.

She took off and flew to that spot on the battlefield. There she found a beat up but alive Dark Night. He was trying to get up but the energy blast from Ruby had disoriented him a lot more than one would expect. She pulled him up and held him in her aura so he wouldn't fall. She asked, "You alright general?"

Dark Night replied, "Well not really. I'm a bit dizzy but other than that, I'm decent." He then began to look around and saw that the battlefield was littered with many many corpses but saw no enemies out and about. He commented, "I take it we won?"

Colgate asked, "Yes, and remember how Celestia was so strong there at the end and was causing a whole host of problems?"

"Yes, I do."

"Well follow me, I have something you have got to see!"

Colgate released Dark Night from her hold and while he was wobbling around a bit, he was able to follow Colgate to the base of her tower. She however would not be pleased when what she thought was there wasn't. She yelled, "Where is she, where the hay is she?"

Dark Night asked, "What do you mean where is she?"

Colgate pointed down and yelled, "Celestia was laying here after I had burned her black." She then noticed another thing, she noticed that Celestia's sword was missing as well. She then became nervous, "Dark Night, I don't like the looks of this."

He asked, "Think she may have survived and could be lurking around, waiting for the right moment to strike?"

"Yes," Colgate replied "so be careful. She could be anywhere and I know she wants nothing more than to slay both of us and......"

She would not be able to finish her sentence when they saw Celestia come charging out from behind the tower, holding a sword in a golden aura. Dark Night and Colgate both flared up their horns and fired energy at her but would miss. She then leapt in front of Colgate and plunged her sword deep into her lower abdomen. Colgate immediately fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Dark Night was not about to allow her to get away with it. He charged Celestia and rammed his horn straight into her abdomen. "NO!" he yelled "You will not kill Colgate nor will you take this world as your own."

Celestia grabbed him in her aura and slammed him into the ground. She pounced on him and began slamming his head violently into the ground, "No, no, no! You and your precious Goddess of Terror have killed so many, both of you are responsible for the death of my whole family ad every other world leader."

She then got up, grabbed Dark Night in her aura and with one swing of her sword, she lopped his head off. Immediately after she killed him, she was tackled by a weakened but furious Colgate. She decided that the time had come to finally wipe out the foe who seemed to handle her darkest creations so well but it would not be easy. Celestia fired a bolt of energy and threw her off of her.

Celestia's energy threw Colgate up against the base of her tower, injuring her further. Celestia saw this as her chance to finally take Colgate out. She pounced on her and decided to do the one thing she loved to do, she bent down and took a bite out of Colgate's abdomen. As she was chewing up her flesh she laughed, "Isn't it ironic? For so long you ate ponies but now it is YOU who will be eaten."

Blood loss was causing Colgate to get weaker but that would not stop her from fighting back. She was able to grab Celestia in her aura and throw her off of her, head first into the tower. Much to Colgate's delight, she had broke her foe's horn off and gave her a concussion. By this point, Colgate's bleeding was getting worse from the deep wound and the bite from Celestia so rather than flying to her or even jumping to her, she had to crawl. When she finally got to Celestia, she found her foe only half coherent.

She knelt over Celestia and said, "You know Celestia, I suppose I should be proud of you for showing so much strength in the end but even your temporary strength can't last forever." She began to grow weaker as she was losing more blood but was not about to allow Celestia to be the last one alive. She knelt right over her and asked, "Any last words."

Celestia tried firing energy out of the remainder of her horn but was only able to get a few sparks out. She yelled, "You Colgate are pure evil! I hope you are cast into the bottom most bowels of Tar.....AAAAAH."

Before she could finish her sentence, Colgate bit into Celestia's throat, tearing it open. The blood began to pour out of Celestia and she very quickly perished. As Colgate laid there on top of Celestia, she was happy that she finally took her out but realized one thing, she knew that she likely wasn't going to last much longer. She looked around and yelled, "If I can't have Eqqus 1, nopony can!"

She was unsure as to whether she could do it or not, especially in the state she was in, but Colgate decided that if she used enough of her dark powers, that she could literally destroy the entire planet. She didn't know any spells to do it, she doubted that any such spells existed and she knew that she did not have the time to write any spells to do so.

She lowered her head and planted her horn into the ground. She then began to release the blackest of black energy into the world. As she did this, she found herself being levitated into the air and encircled in a black ball. Her energy from her horn continued to strike the ground and the longer she was in the ball, the more powerful her magic became.

Soon the ground would begin to shake, not just at the tower but on a global scale. The skies began to darken and the winds began to pick up the longer this went on. The ground continued to shake harder and harder across the world and eventually it began to split open, allowing magma to begin shooting into the air like geysers. Once the magma hit the surface and more and more of the world was being split open, temperatures across the world continued to get hotter and hotter.

Eventually the world was shaking so hard that great tidal waves were crashing on the shores of the planet's continents. It would not be much longer until the black tower began to collapse. As it was collapsing, Colgate released one final powerful bolt of energy and the interior of the planet fractured and finally exploded, killing many millions of ponies and other sapient life forms.

All that remained of what was once a planet full of live, love and harmony was rubble being spread out in orbit around the sun, the same sun that at one time was the prison for multiple ponies.
