WOAH! I am a bucking alicorn now! I feel weird and enhanced. I CAN FLY, and I feel incredibly powerful.

“Hmm. I am quite intrigued by your ascension. I wonder what caused it.” Daybreaker says, launching herself at me to attack. Thankfully, my reflexes are MUCH better as an alicorn, and I am able to go toe to toe (or hoof to hoof) with her, holding nothing back.

“None of your business. I am going to kill you as you did to so many others.” I say, trying to hold back her solar magic with my own time magic.

“How stupid are you, Jewnicorn!” Daybreaker says, using a spell to trap my sister in her magic, holding her in front of me, horn at the ready.

“I am going to kill your sister, and then I am going to kill you. I am not killing you first, since I am going to force you to watch.” grinning while my sister is crying her eyes out.

“I am NOT going to let you hurt that poor pegasus!” Twilight says before she also collapses on the floor for a minute.

Shaking heavily, she reaches inside herself, deeper than she ever had before, while simultaneously reaching out, beyond herself.

“I… will not… Stand aside!! I… Don’t know this poor filly, or the Jewnicorn that well, but nopony deserves to be killed because of what their ancestors did! I-I loved you like my mother, Celestia! A-and… I-I must stop you!”

And with a mighty scream, she feels these two sources rush towards each other, connect inside her, and explode.

I don’t know where I am. My hooves feel weird, and I see screens of my life being depicted on the very fabric of reality. I don’t really understand what’s going on. Walking around for a bit and exploring the little that I can see, I then spot somepony I recognize from one of my many history books.

“Hey, Twilight. Never thought I’d live to see the day.” The stallion in front of me says with a grin on his face.

“S… Sombra? I thought you were an evil pony? What are you doing here?”

“Well, I don’t exactly know where we are, but I can tell you that you aren’t dead. Far from it, actually.” Sombra says, showing me one of the many screens with my life being depicted and Jewnicorn’s new alicorn form fighting hoof to hoof with Daybreaker. The two of them are fighting and seem to be at an impasse!

“I care less about where I am and more about WHY I AM HERE?!”, a bit nervously.

“Well, it might have to do with finally understanding the Ein Sof. You are one smart mare, and you have devoured those books the Jewnicorn gave you. I truly think you might have even become his intellectual equal. All in what, 18 months?”

“So… I understand the Ein Sof now. Why? Because I care about that poor pegasus filly who has no connection to Daybreaker at all?”

“Well, your studies in Jewnicorn’s religion gave you a new perspective on the Magic of Friendship. Love for his people in a platonic way. Is that not Friendship in its purest form?”

“Hold on, if I understand the Ein Sof, and I am here, does that mean that I am going to turn into a-”

“Yes, Twilight, or should I say, Princess Twilight. Once a pony finds their purpose and realizes it, they become an alicorn. Our time is running out, and you have a kingdom to save. Good luck.” Sombra says, disappearing.

I feel like I am being thrown backward in time, my body being hurled through the abyss, somehow everything turns black, and I wake up, seeing the two alicorns fighting each other, with poor Rivka being held at hornpoint.

***
Wait, what happened to Twilight? Why are all of her friends still out cold, but she was able to get up. Something doesn’t totally add up. Is she special?

“You are distracted, Jewnicorn! What are you looking at? Don’t you see I am going to kill your idiot sister!”, cackling like a maniac.

I grin. “I see somepony else is getting a powerup. I know where this is going!” Twilight starts floating up to the air, her injuries completely healing.

“NO! NOT ANOTHER ONE!” Daybreaker says, before being stunned for a moment. HER studentfinally becomes an alicorn, and she feels nothing but rage and hatred towards her.

I see two purple wings sprout behind Twilight, and her horn grows by a few inches. When it is all said and done, her magical aura is glowing all around her, and my energy readings are off the charts!

“Oh yeah! This feels nice. Weinstein! Get over here!” Twilight yells, before realizing it is just faster to fly over to me.

“What was that secret you needed to beat Daybreaker?” She asks me as we both continue deflecting attacks from her former teacher.

“Well, I never paused time as an alicorn before. Since my magic is SPECIFICALLY tied to spacetime, I think she might be frozen if I try again. You think you can get me something big enough to squish her like a bug?”

“Like what, a steamroller?” Twilight asks sarcastically.

Oh, my word! That is actually the perfect thing. A steamroller in frozen time! It’s almost meant to be.

Wonder if Twilight will be able to move at all in frozen time? Only one way to find out.

“Ribbono Shel Olam. I am about to pause time for no more than fifteen seconds. I will smite the spawn of Amalek from this world as it is written: “You shall remember what Amalek did to you on the way, when you went out of Egypt, how he happened upon you on the way and cut off all the stragglers at your rear, when you were faint and weary, and he did not fear G-d. [Therefore,] it will be, when the Lord your G-d grants you respite from all your enemies around [you] in the land which the Lord, your G-d, gives to you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall obliterate the remembrance of Amalek from beneath the heavens. You shall not forget!” (Deuteronomy 25: 17-19).

I will avenge everyone that this beast has slaughtered. May they rest in the Garden of Eden amongst the wings of the Shechina, and may the fires of Gehenna consume the monster I am about to smite. Ken yehihi ratzon, May it be Your Will.”

“What was that, Jewnicorn? I felt a massive surge of magic in you when you did that! You weren’t even talking!”

“Prayer is powerful. Trust me. If you feel weird in a few seconds, it's not a big deal."

Ahem. Time to avenge everyone important to me. My teacher, my people, the poor ponies of this reality.

My temporal magic burns with more resolve than ever, and using the language of Creation itself, I pause time for the last time.

“זאוואדו! עצור את הזמן! !!"
(Time! grind to a halt!). Using more magic than I have ever used in my life, literally everythingfroze in place, including Daybreaker.

“Woah. Alicorn magic is broken. Luna was right.” I exclaim.

“Yeah, I know, right?” Somepony taps me on the right.

“T---TWILIGHT? HOW ARE YOU MOVING IN STOPPED TIME?!”

“Not sure, probably because my alicorn ascension is tied to the Ein Sof, just like yours. My magic comes from Torah now, not from Equestria. Although one could argue that Friendship is the source of both.

“עברה שנייה אחת”. (one second has passed)

“Any idea where I could find a steamroller? I need something to crush her like a bug!”

“Umm, conjure one?” Twilight says, doing just that. A giant yellow steamroller appears a few miles away.

“Dang it! I have to go and schlep the thing over here now!

“חלפו שתי שניות” (Two seconds have passed) “Stay here and make sure Daybreaker stays frozen!”

“Got it!” Twilight says as I fly over a few miles to grab the steamroller.

“Damn it, this thing is heavy, even with my magic!” I struggle to lift the steamroller.
. “חלפו שלוש שניות” (three seconds have passed)

. “חלפו ארבע שניות” (four seconds have passed). I can’t fly that fast bringing the giant crusher over to Twilight. She flies over to me and helps, using her magic to assist me in transporting the steamroller.

“Thanks, Twilight, although who is watching Daybreaker to make sure she doesn’t unfreeze herself?” I ask, a bit concerned by her moving in frozen time a few hours ago, before my ascension.

“Nah, you have alicorn magic now. You’ll be fine!” Twilight tries to reassure me, but I have my doubts. We finally made it over to her.

“חלפו חמש שניות" (five seconds have passed).

It’s time! I have been waiting ten millennia to do this to her. Twilight and I grab the steamroller and send it flying towards Daybreaker.

“Ready to commit mare-icide?”

Twilight nods in approval.

“תאכל את זה! גליל אדים (Eat this. I AM GOING TO ROLL ALL OVER YOU!)”

Sending massive volleys of magical blasts at the steamroller to amplify the damage. I am shocked to see that Daybreaker seems to be unfrozen for a while, and counterattacks.

“USELESS! בזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוזבזבוז” (uselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuselessuseless!)

"חלפו שש שניות." (six seconds have passed!)

“It’s too late, Daybreaker! We are crushing you flat!” I say, sending a massive hoofstrike into the top of the steamroller and pummeling the evil alicorn into the ground. Everything seems to be frozen once again, including the dust coming from the impact crater.

“Well, we did it, Twilight. Daybreaker is no more. I can finally breathe.” I say, flying back towards the ground.

“Yeah, as hard as this was, this ending seems a bit anticlimactic. Almost like it was too easy.”

I hate to agree with her on this, but I think she is telling the truth. This fight did seem too easy, almost like Daybreaker knows something that we don’t.

As I am about to go reply to Twilight, she freezes in midair, her wings stiffening and soon completely freezes in time.

“That’s odd. She survived in frozen time before, why is she freezing up now?” I think to myself. As I was about to fly over to her, I noticed my own movements began to slow down as well.

“NO! NOT AGAIN!” I think to myself, before completely freezing in place.

“You are like a child, Noah Weinstein. Using your most powerful attack over and over again, expecting it to work, only for it to blow up in your muzzle.” The familiar, evil voice of Daybreaker rings out. I feel solar magic behind me.

“You really thought that growing a pair of wings would improve your magic against the mighty GODDESS OF THE SUN? I AM DAYBREAKER! Bow before my knowledge and might!”

It’s over. Not even an alicorn upgrade can allow me to defeat Daybreaker. I failed everypony.

“L...Luna. I am so...sorry.” I manage to muster out in frozen time, just as Daybreaker breaks every bone in my body with nothing but a thought.

“Time will move once again,” Daybreaker says, allowing the full pain of my injuries to kick in, plummeting me into the ground. She then does the same to Twilight, sending her crashing down a few meters next to me!

“H...horseapples! She’s too strong. Not even two Alicorns can beat her. The Elements of Harmony were destroyed, and not even time stopping can stop her. What can we do?” Twilight says, breaking out into tears.

“Any last words, Twilight before I incinerate you? I won’t give my sister’s pet Jew the same honor. You are lucky I used to care for you.”

“YOU STUPID HORSE!! I AM GOING TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING!” I hear my sister say, flying into Daybreaker at full speed, completely catching her off guard. Never seen anything like it! She’s not a fighter, so Rivka must be SUPER mad.

Wait a minute. She didn’t ram into her to attack her, she rammed into her to hug her.

“Our tradition teaches that we lost the Temple due to baseless hatred, or Sinas Chinam. The only way to bring the Redemption is with Ahavas Chinam, or baseless love. This means that even though you are a horrible mare and don’t deserve love, I am giving it to you anyways.”

What the hell is my sister trying to get at?
