A New Threat

The soldiers began to fight Lucifer with all of their might, but he was too fast to dodge their attacks. Fraaz dropped the barrier, signaling the others to join the fight. With multiple soldiers battling, Lucifer lost the upper hand and they began dealing damage.

The swordsmen eventually managed to cut off five of Lucifer's eight arms, and then Brandon drove his sword into his heart. Link stabbed through stomach, Colin pierced through the center of Lucifer's left eye, Stephen drove his sword into the lungs, and Fraaz vaulted high and drove his sword straight down into the top of Lucifer's cranium. Lucifer began writhing and screaming in agonizing pain. He screamed so loud that the swordsmen were groaning to cope with the pain and Diamond started feeling something warm running down her front legs while trying to cover her ears.

When the screaming died down, Diamond saw her front hooves covered in blood, which led her to realize that her ears were bleeding. Link quickly used a bit of the remaining Genesis energy to heal her. Lucifer was not destroyed yet, but he was weakened to the point that he could be vaporized out of existence.

"This is the end of you. You will not terrorize Eqqus or any other worlds again.", Celestia and Luna said in unison as they charged their horns.

Beams of supercharged energy flew from the sisters' horns until they hit Lucifer square in the face between his eye sockets. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as the energy vaporized his body and destroyed his soul. After ensuring that everyone was safe, the christians set off on their voyage to explore the unknown reaches of the universe.

Peace returned to Eqqus and the heroes chose to live out their lives until the very end. Diamond learned more about the fleet and its history from different ponies at different times until she knew enough to get a feel for who they were. There still came problems on Eqqus, but they were resolved easily. Flurry often found Diamond staring into the night sky, and was told that she wondered when the fleet would come again.
