Calvery

Ambrosia has never considered herself to be 'Good,' certainly not by anyone's standards, especially pony standards. She is a Changeling, after all, and a Queen as well. Being cunning and devious is part of being a Changeling. After all, what creature is willing to hand over their love? Plus, she releases her meals after she and her children had their fun with the Ponies. It doesn't make her 'Evil.' Maybe that one time with that stallion, but she was curious how thin he could get. Thankfully, he came out of it primarily unharmed with a couple of zaps from her horn and force-feeding him.

But the Queen was getting off track. The concept of 'Justice' would be laughable to most Changelings. Why would any creature care for such a thing? The Strong take, and the weak suffer or become food. But there are limits to such things, an unspoken rule no living creature should break. And today, Ambrosia and her Hive witnessed something so vile and cruel that it made the Queen question her morality. Pain for the sake of Pain? Sure, she played rough with her food and sometimes her drones, but it's all good fun.

But this Adam or whatever this giant contraption is purely powered by the pain and agony of these creatures. Even down on the ground, she could taste their emotions, and it wasn't enjoyable, even by her standards. The Changeling could even sense the feelings of the others further inside the mound of flesh; most likely, they couldn't scream, see, or hear anything. How could any creature make such a thing? Then again, that Antithese thing couldn't be considered a living being, she may look like the same species as Raven, but she was artificial; she could taste it. Her emotions were between bursts of glee and extreme rage; these emotions tasted metallic-like licking a coin.

A sense of duty washed over the Queen that went beyond protecting her Hive. Ambrosia wanted to destroy this crime against nature and free the tormented souls from their prison. Ambrosia gave out her orders; Every Changeling was to take to the air and target the core of this machine. The injured drones or nymphs were to be safely guarded with the foals by twenty of her soldiers.

Ambrosia finally took to the air and lit up her horn. She didn't have access to her plant magic in the valley, considering the place was lifeless, but she could try something with that wall of flesh. A little blood magic wouldn't hurt too much, right? Many didn't even know, not even her fellow Queens, but she and her Hive had a taste for blood. Maybe her mother did the nasty with a vampony? It was never made clear why, but Ambrosia loved its taste, and made her slime stickiest out of all of the hives; her children's fangs were longer compared to other Changelings. She dabbled in the dark arts; she kept this a secret. But it was time to show every pony what she was truly capable of.

Besides the dread and disgusting smell, she was going to have fun! "Bring it on, you hunk of junk!"

Oleander watched as Raven went after Antithese, and the Changelings took to the air, leaving her by herself. She looked at the giant machine that was Adam. "Oh, buck." What in Tartarus did that Human expect her to do?! Throw Fel Sparks at it until it falls over, and Dark Spark wouldn't be enough to take this down, either! Maybe if she created many magic traps and placed them on points of weakness, she could detonate them with a dark spark? But how would she reach that disgusting mound of flesh? The Unicorn couldn't fly, and she certainly wasn't going to ask for help from the Changelings!

Sensing his master's distress, Fred speaks up. "Just call upon me, and I shall do the rest." The demon spoke in his usual polite and posh voice.

Not like she didn't have Fred out of the book, his excellent company. It's excruciating calling him out each time. The mare had to find a workaround for summoning him; it gave her a splitting headache each time. Oleander watched as Adam used its gigantic left hand to swat unlucky changelings out of the sky. Its hands were fast despite their size. The Unicorn had no choice; she needed to take to the air and take this hunk of junk down!

Oleander clears her throat and starts chanting. "You who dwell in the dark hear my call! As the shadows of old begin to Fall! The hooves of time will bend to mine! And break before me sundered twined. FHTNG TH§ NSP§KBL, I summon thee! Grant me the power of flight!" Nothing happened after a few seconds; this made the mare question if she performed the incantation correctly. "Fred, where are you- AAAAAHHHHHH!" The unicorn floated off the ground and went higher and higher into the air. Out of fear, she flailed her hooves uselessly.

Fred came and flew by her in his usual form, but he was much bigger; he was so big he could hold the unicorn in the palm of his claw. The demon laughed as Olly struggled as she flew through the air. "Hahaha, calm down! I'm the one controlling your flight patterns, and I'm not going to drop you... Maybe for a little fun!"

"By Celestia's fat flanks, Fred! This is serious, and you better not drop me, or I'll let the children color in you!" The demon shivered in disgust at foals getting their grubby little hooves on his book. Especially, Jade, he had no doubts that foal would just drool all over his cover.

"Noted. Just focus on casting spells while I handle flying and-" Fred held both of his claws out and made them bigger; he clenched both of them in excitement; it's been a while since he found himself in a proper fight. " and beating the shit out of this tin can!"

"Fred! Language!" If they survived this, she would find a soap bar and wash Fred's and Raven's mouths.

"Why fight it? Let me in." Dying hope.

"RAH, DIE!"

"haHAHaha, yOu're NoThING wiThoUT ThAT claW!"

The battle between Raven and Antithese is still raging on, with them trading blows. The Cyborg was very aggressive with his plan of attack, not giving his opponent any breathing room to launch a counterattack. Meanwhile, the Nasod was forced to defend and deflect each swing of the blade with her drones. But she was having the time of her life; the Queen even took several opportunities to insult and criticize her Opponent. "HoW Does it feeL, knowING SOMeOnE NEArLY HalF YOuR aGE cOUld MasteR aNd iMPRoVe uPON thE sKIlls you'Ve LEaRNed. haHAha!" Raven did his best to suppress the rising anger within himself, but she was right. " HoNesTlY, MEgaSlASH?! PaTheTic!"

Either out of anger or desperation, Raven went for a low swing, wanting to slice this bitch in half. That was a mistake. "Wrong move~" The swing the Human just did was slightly slower than the other ones he had performed. Finally, with some wiggle room, Antithese took the opportunity to jump up and balance herself on top of Raven's blade with one foot, effectively stopping the attack. Raven was stunned; how could she do such a thing!?

Antithese looked down upon Raven with her usual smug smile. No words needed to be said as she balanced herself on the blade. Those who opposed her were less than nothing and should be treated as such. "KNoW yOuR pLacE, Worm." She kicked the former captain squarely in the chin using her free foot. Normally such an attack would send a normal Human's head flying, but that man was anything but ordinary. It should of at least knocked him out, but to her disappointment, she heard the audible crack of his Super Armor. Annoying little technique Humans created when Armor became primarily outdated. She jumped off and got ready to use one of her favorite skills.

"GAH!" The Cyborg recoiled from the attack, he didn't feel immediate pain, but that would come later. He quickly recomposed himself and saw that Antithese had already jumped off his blade and was preparing something. "Flame-" The man tried preparing his own skill, but it was too late.

"Rabbit." A dark violet diamond-shaped force field appears in front of the Nasod. Without warning, countless black needles flew out of the force field, homing onto Raven. Eve landed gracefully and watched in amusement as her opponent tried deflecting her needles and failed miserably. Every time the man could not deflect an attack, she saw the pain on the Human's face; it was assuming! "aW~ dOes it HUrT?" Then she heard it, the shattering of his Super Armor!

"RRAAAAAAAH!" It was too much! These needles kept coming, and he couldn't deflect all of them. With his Super Armor gone, he felt the familiar sting of electricity course through his body as these needles hit him. It didn't matter right now; he had to use Shadow Step. Raven took one step and disappeared from existence, or that's what people see.

Clicking her tongue in annoyance, the Queen watched as the remaining black needles flew and targeted random Changelings. Not wanting to waste any more mana, she made the force field disappear. "nOw, WHERE dId hE gO?" She already knew what skill the Human was deploying, 'Shadow Step' A sad attempt to modify a teleport spell by throwing the user into another dimension for a few seconds.

"Flame Geyser!" As she thought, Raven reappeared behind her and used another skill Elsword easily mastered. It was all so pathetic in her eyes. This Cyborg has been nothing but trouble ever since she met him. Not knowing when to quit, but that's fine; she'll teach him his place in this world.

"YOU DoN'T KNow wheN tO qUIt, Back Door!" Before the flames hit the Nasod, she teleports behind Raven and delivers a single powerful kick. This sent Raven stumbling forward, leaving him stunned. "that'S hOW yoU tELEpOrT, yOU FAiLure!" Antithese performed a roundhouse kick and knocked the sword out of Raven's hand in his moment of weakness. The sword was sent flying, leaving the Cyborg unarmed. " yOU weRE THe MosT PATHetiC out of aLl ThE El searCh PaRtY MemberS! i MEAn, LOOk At YOU! You're NoThInG wItHOUt yOUR Claw AnD swORD! WhY DON't-" That's all she could say as she had the wind knocked out of her artificial lungs.

"Assult kick!" While Antithese took the time to monolog, Raven took this time to recover and throw out a counterattack. Raven jumped up and performed a back kick, the attack landing squarely on the Android's chest. But he wasn't done yet and performed a roundhouse kick sending her flying up. While this all happened, there was a light green hue with every kick, indicating wind magic.

"Dive Kick Bombing!" Raven balances himself on his right leg and starts delivering multiple kicks to Antithese. Each one was stronger than the last. But something was wrong with the skill he performed; there wasn't any form of wind magic; it was just brute force. It didn't matter to the Cyborg; his claw wasn't working, and he didn't have his sword, so he'll use the skills Rena taught him! He delivered the final kick and sent that crazy bitch flying back and tumbling to the ground.

Capitalizing on this opportunity, Raven sprints forward, ready to stomp on Anthiese's head. "Photon Flash." Antithese teleports and leaves a silhouette of herself made from electricity. Raven stops mid-stomp and jumps back, knowing what would happen if he tried attacking that thing.

"Hello World!" Antithese was furious; how dare that worm assault her like that! She took Moby in her right hand and started gathering the El essences required for this. She didn't care what it took; she wanted this disrespectful creature out of her sight. Meanwhile, Raven's senses were telling him he would die if he didn't get out of the way right now! But where could he run or even hide? Power Assult wouldn't cut it because if it was long-range, he was dead anyway. The man's best bet was to use Shadow Step and pray that the attack doesn't last more than three seconds.

Before Antithese could finish her preparations, Remy slams into the Nasod's face interrupting her Hyper Active Skill. In retaliation, The Queen brings her foot down on the decrepit Nasod Drone; it lets out a low whining sound as it's pinned there. "rEMY, YOU WASTe OF SCrAp mETAL! WHY CAN'T yoU behaVe?! WhY can'T yOu BE MoRe LIkE MOBY?!" Ever since she found that Code, Remy has been nothing but trouble! A Drone like him should know his place and remember that he's nothing more than a weapon! But she could see the merit of him interrupting her; using that Hyper Active would have been costly and a waste of mana. It would have been incredibly wasteful on that worthless half-breed. Speaking of which.

The Queen catches Raven's foot with her left hand. While she was busy disciplining her worthless weapon, the Cyborg thought it would be a good idea to take her head off with a kick. She had to admit that it was a strong kick, and it would have done considerable damage. Raven tried to get his foot out of Anithese's iron grip; his efforts were halted when her fist slammed into his stomach. This throws him back a couple of feet; the man quickly recovers but not before releasing the contents of his stomach.

"LooK at YOU, copYing ReNA'S FIGHtinG STylE." If looks could kill, Anthiese would have died ten times over. "No WoNDeR RenA LOoKEd So DevAstATeD WheN She foUnd oUT wHAt You DiD. ShE SPENT all That TimE teACHinG YOU WHAT SHE kNeW, AnD You WENT and MURDerED sOMe INNOcENt NOBle." Raven roars and charges forward, and starts throwing out kicks. The Naod herself starts backing away and blocks these kicks with her drones. "You diDN'T StRuggLE OR FlEE wHEN thE auTHOriTIeS TOok yOu away! WHY? waS iT BECAUSe RENA loOKED Like Your beloVEd SErIs?"

"Rising Falcon!" Raven was going to shut this bitch up!

"You are nothing!" Everyone is Gone.

Ambrosia cringed again as another of her children had their lives snuffed out. Contrary to what other creatures say, Changeling Queens do care for their children, even if it was slightly detached. She held her tears back; this wasn't the time to mourn; she needed to stay focused. Ambrosia ordered her children to throw sharp rocks at Adam's core. Using Changeling fire would cauterize the wound; she wanted the rancid blood to flow.

With the blood flowing, she used her levitation spell to collect the blood and shape it into a massive sphere. It was more complicated than it looked. Keeping the blood that constantly moved from spilling overtook a lot of work. The Queen just needed a little more time and blood; then, she'll have a weapon capable of taking this scrap of metal down.

Then she saw it raise its giant hand, again, and it was aimed in her general direction. "Buck, buck, buck!" If she tried teleporting now, the blood would fall to the ground and become useless. A shield couldn't stop that, and asking one of her drones to shield her was out of the question. It's getting closer! Ambrosia had to make a choice now drop the levitation spell and teleport. Or risk trying to dodge and possibly get slammed into the cliffside and die.

Before making her split-second decision, a giant shadowy hand stopped the mechanical one and pushed it back. A second later, Oleander and a Demon flew beside her. Demon? DEMON?!"OH BUCK! DEMONS ARE REAL! MOM WAS RIGHT!" She thought in a panic, but kept her outward appearance neutral.

"I have a plan!" Ah, yes, the first thing that comes out of the flying unicorn's mouth was that. Actually, how in the buck was she flying? Then again, she has a demon with her.

Ambrosia deadpans and points at the gathering of blood. " I already have a plan."

"Yes, I know, but we should work together! You're using blood magic; based on my assumption, you're trying to make a giant javelin and slam it into its chest. If that's the case, I want to use this!" Oleander uses her magic and conjures a piece of parchment with an eye on it. "Magic traps! I'll make around a hundred of these and stick them on your javelin. Once inside, I'll set them off, destroying that mechanical nightmare."

"Huh, smart cookie." It was better than the Queen originally thought of. She was going to use the blood and create a giant sword. Then she would have a sword fight with a giant robot, and it would have been so cool! But an enormous explosion is cool too. "Alright, I'll play along. Just have your um. Demon cut up that core of pain; I need more blood. "

Oleander nods and gives her orders to Fred. " Fred, we need more blood, do your thing!"

"I'm going to give that fucker hell!" The demon flew forward before Oleander could scold him for his foul language. Fred brought his massive claws forward and dug deep into the thrashing flesh. As if popping a pimple, blood and puss started gushing out. He was thankful that he didn't have a nose because he would be puking. Fred brought his claws down and left deep gashes, which allowed the blood to flow freely.

In an effort to stop this Demon, Adam brought his right hand over and slammed it on his chest. Fred flew out the way and punched the giant Nasod's head. "HAHAHAHA! What's wrong, bucket head?! You're slow; your batteries running low?" Fred laughed again and went back to clawing and punching the machine.

While Fred had his fun, Ambrosia had enough blood to create her weapon. She started reshaping the blood and gave it form. As soon as it had its shape, the blood crystallized and hardened. In a matter of seconds, the Changeling Queen created a giant crimson spear. "It's done; now it's your turn."

After being given the okay sign, Oleander conjured more magic traps until she had exactly one hundred magic traps. This came at a cost with her Mana pool: leaving the Unicorn feeling lightheaded. Using her magic, she brought the traps over to the spear and stuck them on there. Once Oleander covered the weapon with traps, she called out to her companion. "Fred, get out of the way!"

The Demon groans in disappointment but does as he's told. Ambrosia sends a message through the hive network, and drones fly safely away from the explosive radius. With nothing left to do, she thrusts the crimson spear forward using her magic!

Adam is pushed back slightly and is surprised to find that his chest has been impaled. The point was sticking out the other side. The nasod brought his massive right hand over and grabbed the spear's shaft. Once he did that, Oleander sprang her trap! She set off all the traps, creating a massive explosion made from dark violet-purple fire.

Once the smoke cleared, it was clear that Adam's right hand was no longer operational. It was missing fingers, leaving a stump that fell to the floor, never to move again. As for the core made from flesh, nearly half of it was gone! Unfortunately, it was still alive, but the group could finish it off. "Hm?" Oleander saw something shining within that pile of flesh. A blue crystal? No, that wasn't right.

Before she could order Fred to retrieve it, the crystal shinned a brilliant light. After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the flesh began to regenerate at an alarming rate. Ambrosia ordered her Changelings to use fire spells to halt its healing out of panic. It wasn't fair; their hard work would mean nothing if it fully healed itself!

ACTIVING ARTILLERY

Adam's voice boomed out. The cylinders on his shoulders slid open; eight missiles came flying out in total. To these creatures, they looked like fireworks made from metal. "Hahaha, these tiny things?!" Fred was less than impressed. In wanting to show how useless these things were, he punched one. To everyone's surprise, it created a massive explosion. The Demon lets out a pained yell and finds that his left claw is gone. "Ah, buck!" Another missile slams into the demon, sending him hurtling to the ground.

"FRED!" Oleander called out to her injured companion. With the demon out of range, the Unicorn went into free fall but was quickly grabbed by Ambrosia.

" So this is Artillery?" The Queen thought. Indeed it was. No matter who or what you claim to be, even a god. Without proper protection, they will blow you to bits without appropriate protection. This was Human and Nasod engineering at its finest and the contributing factor to why the dragons went extinct during Raven's time.

Ambrosia sent another order through the hive mind, ordering them to spread out. Anyone targeted by these missiles will lead them into the cliffside. "Stop moving so much!" She hissed at the flailing Unicorn in her magical grip.

"B-but Fred!" She pointed at where the Demon landed after the explosion.

The Changeling Queen rolled her eyes. "Your Demon friend is fine." She said Casually, but truthfully she didn't know. How effective were high-grade explosives against demons? "We need to take care of those rockets. Got any bright ideas?" Making a giant lance made from blood took quite a bit out of her, and she wasn't sure if she could do it again.

Oleander wasn't fairing any better, considering how much she used to make those traps. "I'll think of something!" She just needed a few minutes to plan this out.

Ambrosia felt tempted to drop the Unicorn right there but squashed that urge knowing Raven wouldn't like that. She lets out a snort in annoyance but nods her head...? The Queen was sensing emotions toward the east; Ponies were fast approaching. But why? Who are these Ponies?

The foals, nymphs, and other drones were watching from the sidelines. They were far enough so they wouldn’t get caught up in the battle but close enough that they could witness it. It was horrific; they watched the Changelings get blown to pieces by those metal rockets. Thanks to Queen Ambrosia’s and Oleander’s efforts, the smell worsened and left the battlefield covered with charred Changeling chunks, blood, and rotting flesh.

The young members of the Black Crows weren't fairing so well. Xuez watched in horror; The twins held each in an embrace; Amber did her best to calm her baby sister down. Cozy was shivering out of fear and tried her best to look as small as possible. The only one who seemed unfazed was Moon Charm. The young thestral was looking at the Cube that guided her to Raven. It had little to no power left, but maybe she could use it one more time.

"We need to help Mr.Raven!" Xuez said frantically, which caused some of the Changelings to give the Zebra an odd look. What the colt said was true; the battle was one-sided; no matter what the former mercenary threw at the Nasod, it did little to nothing. Meanwhile, that crazy machine was having the time of her life, and it didn't look like she was putting much effort into the fight. That thing would tear anyone to shreds if they tried helping him. Still, the drones talked amongst themselves in the hive mind. It was decided that one of them would grab the Reaper's sword and throw it at them. If they couldn't fight, they might as well offer assistance, no matter how small.

"Not to worry, I'll grab the Reaper's sword." A female Changeling said awkwardly before flying off. Moon Charm knew that it would only delay the inevitable. Raven needed real help, and she would give it to him. It doesn't matter how young, small, or weak she was; she's a proud thestral! But how would she get close enough without being noticed? The cloak that Moon wore with the Notice Me not spell on it.

They've come too far just to be stopped here! Although Moon Charm was scared, she would do anything for Raven, even risking her own life.

"Weakling" The walls are closing in.

Raven stands there exhausted, covered in sweat and blood. The Queen's attacks tore his armor apart, leaving it in tatters. New cuts and bruises covered his body as well. Meanwhile, all Raven could manage was dirty and tear up Anthiese's clothing. The Android began slowing, clapping for the injured cyborg. "conGRaTuLaTIOnS! YoU MAnaGEd to dIrTy MY drEsS."

He just needed to hold out a little longer because he felt it, the El! It's inside Adam. He needs to hold out a little longer. But how? The man's legs felt like jelly, and he couldn't throw out another kick if he wanted. "If only I had my sword." He thought bitterly.

"Reaper!" A female Changeling called out to him. Raven looked up and saw the bug pony flying over them. She was holding his sword in her mouth. "Catch!" The Changeling throws the sword, and Raven catches it. He was disgusted to find that the hilt had drool on it.

"oH? yoU goT YouR SwOrD BACK. aRE YOu gOInG TO Steal MORe of ELsWorD's moVEs?" Antithese asked with the same shit-eating grin.

"The greatest Velder Knights created those moves; they don't belong to Elsword." Raven approaches Antithese with a limp to his step.

The Nasod tilted her head out of curiosity. Was he coming back for more? Stubborn fool. At this rate, she would kill him; she was okay with that. But it annoyed her that he refused to see the reality of things. He can't win! "ARE yoU AppROachInG Me?"

"Shut the hell up and fight!" This woman has run her mouth nonstop, and it got on his last nerve. "Awaken!" An orange aura surrounds his body.

"Fine."Antithese matches the Human and starts walking toward him. It was cute that he thought awakening could save him. It was time to show him what true power looked like. "Awaken!" A pink aura surrounds the Nasod Queen.

You can't bring them back! Failure.

"That gap is too wide." As Raven thought, he couldn't hope to match Anithese's power even in his awakened state. Currently, he was on the defensive as the Nasod Queen kept the pressure up with her drones. He was rewarded with pain if he wasn't quick enough.

"i thOuGhT yoU wAnTeD Me tO aPpROAch!? YOu'rE RunNiNG LIKE COWARD! tHEN AgaIn, YOu'VE BEEN likE thAt your WHOle LiFe." The man ignored the android's taunts and kept his focus. All he needed was an opening, just one opening!
"finE, bE LikE tHAt! Friday!" There! At that moment, it would take Antithese 0.8 seconds to unleash her skill. This left a small window for an attack, and thankfully, Raven only needed 0.2 seconds.

Raven swung his blade and interrupted her casting, allowing Raven to use his skill. "Unlimited Blade!" The sword strike was followed up with another, and another and another! It resulted in an unending flurry of sword swings. It looked like a practice dance number between the swordsman and his sword if someone looked closely. Antithese was helpless to do anything as Raven pushed her back. Once the user swings one final time, they unleash their mana in one devasting attack. The Cyborg had something different in mind.

"MEGA SLASH!" Raven uses the mana he was supposed to unleash and uses it to empower Mega Slash! Antithese was sent flying back at high speed! Her body slammed against the cliffside, causing it to break apart and the rubble to fall onto her, trapping her. It was somewhat poetic to the Cyborg.

Raven stood there panting heavily. Unlimited Blade needed more than just mana to work, but for the user to be at peak performance. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the luxury to do so. "S-shit!" The Cyborg falls to one knee, unable to continue. At least his last attack gave him a few minutes to rest and possibly allow the others to finish off Adam-

Reality is often disappointing~ Our end is here.

"Märchen." A holographic version of Adam grabs Raven and starts crushing him. This version was much smaller, but it did the job as Raven began to scream in pain.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" This pain was the reality of the situation. The reality of no matter what he did, he would never overcome the odds. Was it fate, bad luck, or a god's twisted plan for him? It didn't matter because he heard the heel steps approach him.

"I think I'm done playing with you, Raven." Antithese's voice was back to normal again, and she sounded less than amused. Raven had a complete few on the damage he did. The android's clothing was torn up and ruined; scrapes and bruises covered her perfect skin. Surprisingly, there was a massive gash on her chest that showed her robotic innards. If there were any solace to take in this situation, he would die knowing he wounded this bitch!

The holographic Adam lowers his hand so Raven can be at eye level with his tormentor. Antithese looks at the Cyborg without a single emotion on her face. After a few seconds, she slaps him across the face. "You're pathetic. " She slaps him again. "Isn't it humiliating? A proud soldier being slapped around like a child." And again, he was slapped. " You're nothing but a cripple without that claw—a cripple who didn't know when to stop fighting."

It was funny; even at the edge of defeat, Raven couldn't help but smile. All the pain was buried by joy; it was odd. "YOU SHOULD FEEL HOPELESS! WHY ARE YOU HAPPY?!". Raven ignored that stupid voice in the back of his head; the damn thing has been trying to worm its way in this whole time.

"Why are you smiling? You lost. I've won. You'll die here." How could someone be so delusional?!

"Because I'll die here knowing I protected everyone." Antithese steps back in fear; she has heard those exact same words. It was from that little girl—a Human who is more worthless than Raven. She couldn't fight; her magic abilities were below average, yet with those ponies' help, that girl defeated her. HOW?! Antithese is perfection!

"You're lying!" The Nasod Queen orders Adam to continue crushing Raven. To his credit, the man held in his cries of pain. "You're nothing like Megan!" Megan? The man didn't know what the crazy Nasod was talking about. "You have nothing!"

Hyper Active Skill: Gigantic Slash

A skill far beyond Raven's skill level, but it can forceabily activated at the cost of the user's life. Once the price is paid, the skill transcends space and time, granting the user the power of the very first Velder Knight. Raven is more than willing to pay the price for such power. He wasn't sure it would be enough to kill Antithese, but it would give the others enough time to escape.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Raven was shocked to see Moon Charm fly out of nowhere and grab onto Antithese 's head! "Fight someone your own side, you stupid, whorse!" The thestral was using the cube given to her as a weapon. It wasn't effective, but it sure did annoy the hell out of the Nasod.

"Get off me, you disgusting animal!" Antithese tried her best, but she couldn't remove the little nuisance. But the thestral wouldn't let up and kept slamming the cube against the machine's head.

"I'll save you, Raven!" This was beyond reckless, but a thestral never backs down! She slammed the cube against Antithese forehead with one final effort, where her core is. It caused some kind of reaction as electric sparks started flying off the Nasod's core. This left the Nasod Queen screaming and clutching her forehead, forcing her to release as the holographic Adam to disappear. However, there was one casualty: Moon Charm's Cube was reduced to ashes.

Moon Charm glides to the fallen Raven and tugs on his arm. "Come on, Raven, let's get out of here!" The foal told him in a panic.

Raven couldn't believe it, not once, not even twice, but three times. These foals had come to his rescue because they simply believed in him. Was this the power of friendship at play? Such a wonderful thing. He would gladly give up his life for these children, even for those Changelings. Raven brought Moon Charm into a single-arm hug. "Thank you, Moon Charm. You've made me truly happy. Tell the others to retreat; my journey ends here."

What was the Human talking about?! They needed to run! Why was he hugging her?....NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!NO! "RAVEN, DON'T DO IT! WE CAN STILL RUN!" She said in a shrill voice as tears ran down her cheeks.

He had nothing else to say; he let go of Moon Charm and got back to his feet. Raven made he way towards Anithese. "PLEASE STOP!" The thestral cried out. The man kept moving forward as a white aura surrounded him. It was a blissful feeling—the last of his mana, the very essence of his life given to him by Elria.

Antithese was finally released from forced stun, and she was beyond furious! "YOU FILTHY VERMIN! I OFFER YOU PERFECTION, AND YOU REJECT ME! NONE OF YOU ARE WORTH SAVING! I'LL BEGIN ANEW! HAHAHAHAHAH!" A pink aura surrounds the crazy machine.

"I AM YOUR GOD, YOU SHAL-" Raven squashed that voice and kept moving forward. Today was a good day to die. "I'll be joining you soon, Seris."

Raven holds his blade out for one final time. "Gigantic Sl-" Raven stops midway as a blue sound beam slams into the Nasod Queen, sending her tumbling sideways.

"AW YEAH!!! YOU JUST GOT HIT WITH THE BASS CANNON!"

Raven looked up to find the source of this welcome disturbance. He saw something that surprised him. A bunch of ponies standing at the edge of a cliff. But these ponies looked strange; some of them wore cloaks hiding their appearances. At the same time, others had fangs but lacked the features of thestrals. In contrast, the last type was just ponies, with the lower half being a snake.

In front of them was a white unicorn with a wild cobalt blue and cyan mane. The unicorn wore dark purple sunglasses and had an eigth note as a cutie mark. She stood on her hind legs and held a stereo system that was modified to be in the shape of a cannon. The unicorn opened her mouth and yelled again.

"SUP! THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED!"

Author's Note

DO YOU THINK I FORGOT ABOUT THE TRAVELING MONSTERS?! Aw yeah! Another chapter is out! What's going to happen next chapter?!

By the way, the artwork you see of Ambrosia belongs to Siansaar, and if you're wondering, I asked him if I could use the character in my fic and he said yes.

Thank you all again! and leave comments and tell me what you think!
