Equestria's new Moon

???
Point of Focus: Rainbow Dash

Rainbow flits around the battlefield, helping turn the tides at various points in the unknown village, with her flight and speed. Making good use of her new gauntlets to take down quite a few undead. Unfortunately, despite how many are taken down, they keep coming in a near endless swarm. As she punches yet another shambling corpse, the sound of multiple howling beasts are heard in the distance.

It doesn't take long for Rainbow to come face to face with the source. A massive horned beast makes it's way towards her. It looks like an overly large hound made of stitched muscles and bones. The beast's legs and backs are covered in metal plates, adding to it's already intimidating presence.

Not being one to back down from a challenge, Rainbow charges to meet the beast head on. She lashes out with armored fist, causing the beast to barely miss goring her with it's horns. The clash of gauntlet on horn sending sparks into the air, causing Dash to be momentarily distracted. The beast recovered from the clash much quicker than anticipated, bringing up a claw and raking it along Rainbow's back and tearing through her right wing.

Rainbow screams in pain as blood and feathers cover the ground around her. The momentum of her initial charge thankfully bringing her past the beast, but making her skid along the ground for some distance. Rainbow tries to get up, tears of pain nearly blinding her vision, but only manages to crawl forwards a few inches before falling down. She can hear the beast charging at her once more. Flipping onto her back, she puts her arms up and braces for impact, closing her eyes tight.

Hearing a pop, and then a loud thunk, Rainbow opens one eye tentatively. She spots the beast with it's face pressed against a purple coloured energy shield. Twilight standing protectively above her body, horn glowing brightly as she strains to keep the shield up. "Rainbow, please be alive" Twilight says, pretty much pleading with reality and hoping for the best.

"I've been better." is all Rainbow manages to say, pain showing in her voice before passing out.

Point of Focus: Aidan

On the other side of the battlefield, Aidan is busy with his own opponents. While the basic undead have learned to keep their distance from him, several of the horned undead hounds now circle around Aidan. His basic magic blasts lacking the punch to do more than singe the armored plating on the beasts.

His hands frantically guiding the energy of his shield, deflecting attacks left and right. Everytime he thinks he finds an opening to at least take out one of the shambling corpses, one of the beasts moves to block the blast. "We can't have that now Archmage Aidan." One of the beast says, only to have a second continue speaking with the same voice. "How you knew of our movements this far north, I'll likely never know. But we can't have you interrupt our harvest."

"One of the Nine I take it. So who do I have the privilege of speaking with?" Raising a hand to his right, Aidan guides the shield to deflect another beast's attack. "After all, you know my name."

"And give you a name to use in banishment ritual, I think not." The voice says, coming from yet a different beast. "Why must you oppose us? You should join us instead. It must not be quite pleasant watching those you care for grow old and die. Even your new friends in this world will eventually leave you." The beast that spoke suddenly charged, only to be deflected aside by Aidan's shield. "A one time offer, leave this place. And your friends may leave with you." A new beast speaks, and points off in the distance.

Aidan spots Twilight in a shield bubble, holding off one of the horned undead hounds. The shield starting to crack under the assault. The member of the Nine did not calculate for Aidan's response, thinking him merely a soft hearted mage who got lucky in his climb to power. The rage burning in Aidan's eye caused the beasts to all step back momentarily.
"Cale, defend the girls." He directs his guardian to where it's needed most.

The beasts speed up their assault, as Aidan starts drawing sigils in the air. His hand moving at frantic pace, only stopping momentarily to guide his shield before resuming. As a sigil is completed it takes off and floats off to different points in the sky.

"What are you doing!? This is not Gaia, invocations are fruitless. You're only going to cause your friend's death." The member of the Nine says, with slight fear in his voice.

"We'll never know unless we try." is the last thing Aidan says as he begins chanting the ritual. "Ancient flames of destruction and creation, bringer of death and life. I beseech you to grant me your power, let my spark grow into a purifying inferno and burn my enemies to ash. Come forth, Kagusutchi!" With the last word spoken, Aidan points a hand to the heavens. A single spark of magic touching a central sigil, causing beams of light to connect them in a shape of a pheonix. The spark ignites into a flame, that makes it look like the whole sky is burning.

"This is not possible!" The member of the Nine shriek from the beasts.

From the inferno a whirlwind of flame forms and from it's center emerges an enormous pheonix, easily 300 feet from wingtip to wingtip. It lets out a loud screech before diving through the battlefield, leaving fire in it's wake. The flames render the shambling corpses and village into ash, while leaving the living untouched. The horned undead hounds only fair slightly better, half their bodies are instantly turned to ash and the remains are left as nothing but burning flesh.

The enormous pheonix turns around and hovers in front of Aidan. "This world is not ours, but it has garnered our interest. The pact from Gaia is null here, and I only answered due to our past dealing."

"I thank you great fire lord, Kagusutchi." Aidan says as he bows to the Aeon before him.

"Next time you summon me will require the ritual formation of a new pact. Until next we meet" Kagusutchi does not give Aidan time to respond, it enters the flaming whirlwind and has it close behind him. The burning sky goes out and the land is once more cloaked in the darkness of night. As the breach is sealed, it takes the payment for the summoning from Aidan, with interest.

With the added cost of breaching through two realities and linking them metaphysically, it quickly empties Aidan's zeon reserve and starts to drain his life force. The last thing Aidan sees before passing out is Twilight running towards him.
