Children Of Madness
Countdown To The End
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe cracking of the mirror continues more and more as the beam from all four princesses and Fear continue to chip at it. Fear grins as his plans are to reach the end and the new world is within his grasp. Inside the girls and Emma watch in horror as their friends are under his control. " Fascinating isn't it? ". Worst says to them in a whisper which makes all of them jump but not loud enough to be found. Emma looks at him and says, " What in Tartarus are you doing in here? ". Worst looks at her and answers, " Observing and curious if his plan will work or not. ". Annoyed with his answer Emma grips the handle of the blade and possibly the only thing that can make this an end or their defeat.
Emma whispers the plan to the rest and drags Worst in even as he protests but none of them care. Pinkie sets up her party cannon and the rest get ready to start their plan. " Remember aim square for his back and try not to die everypony. ". Emma says to the rest as they nod and worst rolls his eyes annoyed but curious how this will turn out. Emma looks to Pinkie and nods motioning her to do it. For some reason, she is dressed as an army pony and a candy cane in her mouth like a cigar as she cocks the cannon as 9 others appear and she fires them blowing the wall off and the ponies charge in surprising the devious six and fear but the alicorns continue there job as the glass cracks more and more.
Fear looks as smoke fills the room as his back is turned from the mirror and princesses. Till he notices movement behind him and he fires a red smoking ball out behind him as Emma dodges it and she runs towards him until Reggie meets her face to face and dropkicks his heel into her head as her head drills into the crystal ground. Reggi grins as he pulls her head up by her hair, her head bleeding as her eyesight is hazed as she tries to focus on Reggis's face. Reggi then says, " Welcome back dear sis. ". Reggie drags her to Fear's feet as the other devious six grab the others.
Fear chuckles and looks at her and says, " A charge? Really have I taught you nothing my dear you will not win, victory is mine I have already won. ". Emma looks as the devious six hold them but then Emma smiles and stands and says, " You did teach me better than that father I'm just a distraction ". Fears eyes widen as Rainbow dash comes in supersonic style and drives the dagger into his back.
Silence is in the air as if time stopped as the devious six are shocked and then as if time resumed Fear makes an ungodly yell in pain as the dagger is lodged in his spine. As the alicorn's eyes turn to normal and they fall to their knees as Fear is on his knees and his hand is on the ground and the devious six go to try and help but the main six keep them occupied and Emma punches Reggie hard into the crystal wall as Emma grabs the dagger and takes it out and kicks Fear on his back and as she is about to drill the blade into his heart he roars and yells, " ENOUGH! ". Fear slams the ground and a blast of energy forces every pony far from him.
Fear stands as he breaths hard his gash not healing so quick as he lost some power. The princesses get up as they look around and try and piece the situation but they can sense Fear lost some power as they see the dagger drips with his blood as Emma breaths hard, this ends now one way or another. Fear looks at her and says with anger, " This is futile! I have won! the portal is already cracked open! you all have lost! ". This is the first time Emma has seen her father's anger but she will not back down.
The devious six stand up ready for a smackdown as the main six are worried. Fear chuckles and looks at Emma and asks, " What was the point in this? yes you landed a near-fatal blow to me but that was it. Why do that in the first place? ". Emma smiles and says, " I was just waking my family up. ". With realization in his eyes, Fear looks at her as the ground rumbles, and then behind them, they hear cheering. Fear looking towards the cheering as the building shakes.
The wall crashes down as flying madness children come in their eyes normal carrying other madness children ready for a fight. A madness child stands before the group and says, " My name is Benjamen, for years you have forced us to murder and stole us from our loved ones. Now it's time for payback! ". The group of madness children behind him cheers as the others outside do the sam in unison saying: No More!
The devious six confused as they look to Fear, Carrie the first to ask, " What do we do now father? ". Fear with a grin says, " If they wish to break away from our family then I guess they will have to be taken care of, that means I don't have to hold back with punishments. ". He grins as the devious six chuckles, Emma nervous as she hears that. Fear stands fully up with his hands clenched in a fist. He takes a deep breath as the madness group prepares.
Fears center eye glows as he opens his mouth and a glow comes from it and he fires a beam out as many madness children dodge it many were caught in the blast evaporate on impact as for those who dodge the beam breaks into smaller ones striking them is not fatal but in spots of there bodies where they can bleed out. Many of them blocking the beam as they charge and the throne room becomes a battle zone.
Fear stomps the ground as he lifts his hands in the air as many of the madness children rise. Celestia then charges at him as Emma throws the blade to Celestia and she catches it as Fear looks at her unable to block. Celestia turned human drives the blade into his hearts. He coughs up blood as his hearts have stopped, the floating madness children fall as Fear goes on his knees as his head lays on Celestial shoulder.
Celestia then says, " Finally your rule finally ends. ". Fear chuckles as he coughs and grunts trying to stay alive. He grips her neck and whispers something in her ear as his last breath comes and he lays on the ground dead with a smile on his face. The madness children cheer and a boom outside comes as his castle falls and his storm of blood fades and evaporates making way for the sun.
Rainbow Dash looks around and asks, " Wait hold on where did the Devious six go?! ". Everypony looks around as the portal closes. Luna then say's, " If they ever return we will be ready for them. ". Benjamen stands before the princesses and kneels before them and asks, " On behalf of my brothers and sisters we ask if we may live side by side with everypony and hopefully find our moms and dads. Can you forgive us? ". Celestia stands and looks as the other madness children kneel awaiting her answer.
Celestia with a kind smile steps before him and them all, " You have nothing to say sorry for, you were forced into this life by this demon. He forced his ways on you, his will and wants, but no more. You all live as how you wish to. ". They look up to her with a smile on their faces.
=============== Outside The Crystal Castle =============
Celestia and Emma stand side by side as they watch an amazing sight, Madness children helping ponies, yaks, and every creature. Healing the injured or taking them to worst and other doctor ponies, finding lost children's parents. Emma has a smile on her face as a dark chapter ends but with an unknown future. Celestia looks at her and says, " A beautiful sunrise after an endless night. ". Emma chuckles and nods and says, " Yeah, with father gone we have our lives back. ". Celestia looks at the madness children and her and then smiles and says, " You know they will need a new home and a new leader, who is kind, compassionate, and who can be there for them. ". Emma looks at her confused then surprised as the madness children look at her as if to ask, what now?
