Movie: Flashlight VS. The Dark Master - Part 4

The Main Six and the Young Six left the castle of friendship. There was a plan in place, and they were ready to excute it. They managed to find Condescending Consequence; better known as The Dark Master; right in Ponyville Square and the entire place had been evacuated for what was to come.

"Condescending Consequence." Twilight said to the floating being before them.

"Tch...I come to pay a nice little visit, and you evacuate the entire town. Oh wait, I already know: You have some form of plan to get back the artifacts I stole, don't you? You really think I'm going to fall for some distraction by six beings while six other beings go and steal the artifacts? Fat chance." Condescending Consequence said.

"Well...if you know that much, perhaps you'd prefer a good old fasioned wager instead." Twilight said.

"I'm listening..." Condescending Consequence said.

"I'm willing to put all the artifacts on the line here and now: If you can overpower us in a fight, you are free to destroy the artifacts and the only way we have to bring the pillars back to equestria for good. But if we manage to outsmart you and withstand your attacks, then you are to hand over the artifacts without any more difficulty." Twilight said.

"You make a very tempting case, Twilight Sparkle. It's a bargin just too good for me to pass up." The Dark Master said before he floated down to the ground.

"No more games; you either fight us yourself, or I'll resort to showing you just how good my planning really is." Twilight said.

"Luckily for you, I think I can take you up on your wager. Just be very warned..." Condescending Consequence said before the ground cracked in a circle around a large area underneath the heroes and The Dark Master went to place his hands underneath the severed area. "Be very careful what you wish for..." The Dark Master said, his voice becoming something much more darker as he suddenly flung the entire cropping that was severed into the skies above as music started playing.

Music: Sonic Generations - Big Arm Boss Fight

As the music started up, giant hands came and grabbed the platform before Condescending Consequence gave off one of his very dark and foreboding laughs as he had used dark magic to become giant sized.

THE DARK MASTER

CONDESCENDING CONSEQUENCE

The Dark Master began by spewing flames from one of his hands before switching to the other; this one spewing electricity; before he switched again, but it was now spewing out snow. He then switched to his second hand which began the cycle of fire, then electric, then ice of his two hands all over again before he then began pounding the platform with his left hand three times before slapping said platform all together.

"Attack!" Twilight said. Everyone did so at once, and after a bit, The Dark Master withdrew his hand. Now his hands cycled electricity and snow twice over before he started pounding the platform with his right hand but now it was causing small fire storms when it hit the platform and when he slapped the ground, a small fire wave surrounded the nearby area where his hand hit.

"Is he being obvious right now?" Pinkie Pie said before they attacked the vurnable hand again, and once again, after a bit the Dark Master withdrew his hand once more. Now his hands did snow attacks twice each before he did the slamming with the accompanied electricity before he went for the slap again.

"Is it me, or is this a bit too easy?" Rainbow Dash said before they attacked the downed hand which would make the Dark Master recoil his hand once more after a bit before he followed through with pounding with the ground becoming frozen briefly at each pound and the area around the slap was frozen too.

"One more time?" Twilight guessed but after the recoil, the Dark Master began growing angry and now was just doing fire, electricity and ice none stop but Twilight picked up on this and began attacking the Dark Master himself. After a bit of this, the Dark master began charging up for some kind of mega attack.

"I got ammo for anyone that needs it!" Pinkie Pie said, taking out a big bucket of rocks for those that wanted to join in the magic users for pounding the Dark Master relentlessly. At certain points, an explosion occurred but Condescending Consequence was just not stopping. But eventually, the big attack failed as the entire giant form of the Dark Master began to explode continuously.

"Is that it?" Twilight said before the Dark Master was in his normal form, floating before them.

"Okay, now you've made me mad. Been a while since I did this..." Condescending Consequence said but he was getting a notification from a dark crystal ball he's been carrying round all this time. "This better be something damn important; you know not to disturb me when I'm busy." The Dark master warned the Neo Dark Tribe member on the other end.

"I'm sorry sir, it's just that...we couldn't stop the six of them...those royals...they...they came and...they took the artifacts and...all our documents on them..." The Neo Dark Tribe Member said.

"What the...you mean..." Condescending Consequence angerily looked at Twilight who was smirking.

"Did you really think we were going to have our real plan slip out? Considering you were somehow always watching us, Luna had us discuss the real plan in the dream realm. My idea of course. So while you were busy being distracted by us, Celestia, and the royals of the other five major races in the nearby lands went and grabbed the artifacts." Twilight said. This was making the Dark Master even further mad but then he did the oddest thing.

He...began laughing. And while doing so, he destroyed the dark crystal ball as he continued to laugh, which transistioned into one of his dark laughs. All this while the platform and everything began returning to normal.

"You know...I have to say there Twilight Sparkle, you really did outsmart me. It's nice to know your not a boring one after all." Condescending Consequence got out as he continued to laugh his dark laugh.

"You are insane..." Twilight said, wondering how villain could find their plans countered like this so funny.

"I was really hoping I wouldn't have to use this thing...but I suppose since you've shown yourself to be so capable of it, I think it's a nice gift to give you." The Dark Master said before he suddenly placed down a clock that was obviously counting down.

"A...Countdown clock?" Yona asked.

"Three hours. That's how long you have until I've gathered enough energy from making people get scared by their greatest fears in order to reactivate my living weapon; something I created myself. I call this living weapon of mine, The Dark Core. It's a weapon designed to feed and weaponize the greatest fears of those that face it. Since I'm feeling like playing fair, here's a hint: You can't reason with this weapon, so in order to defeat it, your going to have to overcome your greatest fears." Condescending Consequence said. "And don't even think about hiding either; if you can't overcome your greatest fears..." He added before his voice turned dark. "Then you have no hope of defeating me when I show you my full power." The Dark master concluded. "For now, I bid you adiu." Was the last thing he said before he vanished.

"That...was some sort of shell..." Twilight said. "...We need to talk to Rob." She added.
