These mere animals shouldn't have any cognitive abilities higher than wanting to eat grass and hay. They are nothing but beasts of burden; they should grovel before her! Instead, they oppose the Almighty Antithese; why? And why did the only two Humans side with these Ponies? First, that worthless girl, Megan. The little bitch wanted to protect these horses and that stupidly named country, Ponyland.

Now Raven wants to protect these stupid horses!? Why she was the best chance of restoring Humanity. If Megan was any indication, Add had plans to bring back Humanity. And what does that worthless Cyborg do? He rejects her and sides with those ponies; just because she wants to make the ideal world.

"Ah, how far away is the ideal world?" The delusional Nasod asked herself. But in the end, it didn't matter. As long as she could stand and fight, nothing would stop her from achieving Utopia. Antithese called upon her Nasod drones, Remy and Moby, to her side. They arrived quickly and helped their Queen to her feet, not that she needed the help, but they were her loyal servants. And as faithful servants, they follow any request, no matter how heinous.

"Moby begin the El energy gathering process." The demonic-looking drone nodded and started glowing with a green aura surrounding it. "Remy, once Raven is dead, I want you to extract the code from his corpse." The drone was hesitant but nodded. Antithese was done playing, and these worthless Ponies would die here today. "I'll be using Michelangelo to wipe out all these useless creatures." It was a Hyper Active Skill Made up of perfect coding. Unfortunately, she needed to wait ten minutes before Moby had all the necessary El. But no one can rush perfection, not even her.

The Nasod brought her attention towards the cliff where the attack came from. She saw the group of Ponies who dared to attack her. It looked like more worthless ponies, and they also had freaks among them. While she waited on Moby, she could spend some time killing these creatures, starting with those freaks. Thankfully, the former Mecrnary couldn't bother her as he was in no condition to fight. Although the Nasod Queen was slightly worried about what he was about to use.

But no matter, once Michelangelo was ready, it would be all over. Those who would stand against her needed to be erased from this world. Was it right or wrong? It didn't matter because Antithese had deemed it so. "Friday." Moby spins around the Nasod Queen, causing gigantic holographic letters to appear above the group that attacked her. A smile came across her face as she watched them scatter like rats.

"Aw yeah! You guys saw how far that bitch went flying?!" Vinyl pumped her hoof in the air with excitement. The other monster Ponies weren't as enthused by this. Causing the DJ to stop her bragging and give a questioning look to everypony around her. "What's wrong? I did save the Dark Lord, right?"

Adagio, who was near the front, faced hoof in frustration. "The thing you just blasted is getting back up!" She pointed a hoof at where the Android landed. "Let's not forget that the Reaper is hurt!" The light gold mare brought her over to the kneeling Raven. It looked like he was in no condition to fight. Adagio was no fool; that thing the Reaper fought would even give three of Alicorns a run for their money. First, they needed to take down that giant..? The siren believed Humans called them robots? She wasn't sure since she and her sisters spent most of their time in the mirror world being homeless.

Vinyl shrugged and aimed her cannon at the Android. "Another blast from the bass cannon should do the trick." Adagio faced hoof again; it felt like she was talking to Sonata!

As the Dj pony got ready to blast the distant figure, a shadow appeared over the group. This caused Vinyl to look up and see giant holographic letters above them. It spelled out 'Friday.' "Oh buck. Scatter!" Vinyl was the first to jump off the cliff, followed by Adagio and the rest of the Dazzlings. The Letters were coming down, and they were coming fast! It didn't take long for everypony else to jump off.

The letters came down and destroyed the cliff that everypony was standing on. Thankfully everypony got off before the letters crushed them. The only problem now was that they were falling! The vamponies in the group had no problem with this, as leathery wings sprouted from their backs. This includes Vinyl and Photo Finish, but the photographer had her dress ruined; the mare cursed obscenities as she glided down.

The Dazzlings, in a flash of light, reverted to their original forms and flew off to help fight the enormous machine. The Snake ponies clung to the side of the cliff and slid down it. Amazingly the two cloaked earth pony mares did the same thing. Moon Dancer screamed as she fell; teleporting at high velocities wasn't a good idea. Thankfully, Monarch, who brought the unicorn along, caught her and safely brought her to the ground. As for the undead ponies, they hit the ground with little to no blood and got back up. It was just one of the many perks of being undead.

Once everypony was safely on the ground, Vinyl was first to act. "Alright, ghoul ponies get tall, dark, and hurt back on his hooves and ready to fight again! The rest of us will fight and hold off that thing! Ready? Charge!" It wasn't much of a plan, but they had to do everything in their power to stop this thing! The other ponies didn't like it, but they did what they had to do. The Dj was the first to charge forward into the danger, followed by the rest!

"I don't even know how to fight! Let me go!" Moondancer was being dragged by her tail and being pulled into the fray by Monarch.

The Changeling huffed as she pulled the Unicorn along. "It doesn't matter; we have to contribute somehow! Just use a barrier or something?!"

Ambrosia weaved through the sky, still carrying a struggling Unicorn in her magic. "If only I could cocoon her." It wouldn't solve much, but it would make her happier with the current situation. While her drones were doing a great job of redirecting the missiles, they were still coming at an alarming rate. They couldn't keep this up forever! The attempts to block the missile silos with Changeling Goo have proven to be messy.

They needed more firepower, but where could they get it? The Unicorn in her grasp was still coming up with something. The Queen herself needed more blood if she wanted to do real damage. The Demon that got blasted was nowhere to be seen, most likely dead. Then she felt the emotions of three approaching them. Each one was unique; Contempt, Calm, and Excitement. The pony with that last emotion felt like the most fun to mess with. She was expecting a flock of pegasus to come by, but what she saw made her nearly drop Oleander.

Three Sirens were flying through the air towards them. Like all Sirens, they had the upper body of a pony and the lower half of a fish. Large back fins that acted as their manes and two antennas protruded from their heads. One had light, brilliant gold scales with Moderate Amber fins. The second Siren had soft violet scales and mulberry-colored fins. And the final Siren had light cerulean scales with cornflower blue fins. Each Siren had a ruby-colored gem embedded in their chest.

Ambrosia was certainly not expecting to see that; she wondered if Sirens were as powerful as the legends say. As if to answer the Queen's question, all three Sirens opened their mouths and fired a red beam made of pure magic. The beam hit Adam's right shoulder, where the missile silos were. The blast destroyed the silos in one go, and as a bonus, the shoulder plate fell off, exposing more of its inner workings.

The Queen whistles in amazement at the display of power; those three lived up to the legend. Oleander saw this as well, and it gave her an idea; she made this known to the Changeling carrying her. " Ambrosia! Bring me to the Sirens; I have a plan!" Ambrosia didn't like the idea of getting anywhere near those three, considering they were much larger and could probably fit in their mouths. Letting out a low groan, she flew over to the Sirens. She would suck the love right out of Raven when everything was said and done.

"Woohoo!" Sonata lets out a cheer after destroying the silos on Adam's shoulder. The Siren was also happy to be back in her original form, being big and such. The other two stayed level-headed, knowing that this was far from over. They did destroy the missile silo on the giant robot's shoulder, but they had another one to worry about. The three of them have seen what those missiles are capable of from their time in the mirror world. Siren or not, they would suffer fatal injuries if they weren't careful.

Not wanting to lose her sister to a mistake, the Adagio used her tail and slapped Sonata's backside. This caused the younger Siren to yelp in pain. "Stay focused, Sonata; I don't want you blown to smithereens!" She found her younger sister annoying and downright stupid at times, but she's family! And if she wanted to take over Equestria, Adagio wanted both of her sisters by her side, even if she wanted to push them off cliffs sometimes.

As the three got ready to turn around and blast the other shoulder, a Changeling Queen carrying a unicorn flew beside Adagio. The gold Siren raised an eyebrow at this. "Yes? We're a little busy at the moment." As she said this, a missile came flying towards the ground. Thankfully, Aria used her breath attack and destroyed the missile before it could reach them. "Make it quick, bug." Adagio spat out.

Changeling Queens didn't have a lot in common, but the one thing they hated more than anything in the world was being called 'Bug, ' Especially by some creature that smelled like fish. Then again, Miasma didn't smell any better, even before she started living in the sewers. Ambrosia was half tempted to use the Unicorn in her grasp as a weapon and smack the daylight of this Siren. Oleander spoke up before the Changeling Queen said something she might regret. "Hello, and yes, I understand that, but I believe it would be beneficial if we worked together. This contraption has proven to be resilient, but we can bring down this foe."

Adagio sneered at the Unicorn. Did she really just say that? Sirens working with others? Nonsense! But what should she expect from an Equestrian pony? The memories Adagio and her sisters received from that dead nightguard disgusted her. The average pony will go on and on about friendship but run away in fear when something is slightly different from them. Disgusting, gone are the days of mutual hatred. "No, Sirens don't need help." Aria and Sonata nodded in agreement. Oleander threw her hooves up in frustration at their stubbornness.

Meanwhile, Adam's program told him that the tide was turning and he needed to do something. Left with no other choice, the former king needed to use the El. Of course, the effects wouldn't be as significant without El extractors, but the results would be all the same. Adam holds out his remaining hand and forms an orb made of light. Once fully developed, the Nasod crushes it, causing lightning strikes to appear randomly and hit anypony unlucky enough to be in the way.

Unfortunately, Adagio was unlucky enough to be hit by lightning. After being struck, the after effect turned the Siren's body to stone. With her body encased in rock, Adagio fell from the sky; both remaining Sirens and Changeling Queen were taken back at this. " Adagio!" Aria and Sonata yelled at the same time. The both of them dove down and caught their petrified sister.

Thankfully, after a few seconds, the effects wore off, freeing the Adagio from Stoney Prison. Although, the gold Siren was far from alright mentally, as nearly falling to her death scared her stiff. She thanked her sisters and flew back to Ambrosia's and Oleander's level. "Alright, let's work together." Even in the heat of battle, Oleander loved being right.

"Alright, so this is how we'll take him down."

"Come on, Raven! Get up!" Moon Charm stood on her hind legs, trying to get the kneeling Human to move. Tried as she might, he wouldn't move an inch. "You're hurt; Xuez will fix you up real good."

Raven shook his head. "No, I have to finish this. It has to end here." He couldn't, and he wouldn't run away from this. Antithese had to die here. The Ponies that came to his recuse are brave, but they wouldn't last long against that monster. They needed his help; all he had to do was get up, but he couldn't. No matter how hard Raven tried, he couldn't get up. "Is this the extent of my resolve, or is my body failing me?" Nonsense, this ravaged body has taken far worse abuse, and he was more than willing to die on the battlefield.

Then, why couldn't he get up and finish the fight? "It doesn't have to end here! A retreat isn't cowardice, you know that. You used to be a Captain!"Ah yes, Moon Charm, Xuez, Night, Dew, Oleander, Cozy, Amber, and Jade; he would die for these children, like any good...Father. "Hah, of all the times these fake memories decide to make themselves known." Raven's memories of being in stasis were brought to the forefront of his mind. These memories were fragments upon fragments, but he remembered he had two children with Seris in that fake world. Funny, he couldn't remember their names or their faces.

Is this why he couldn't get up? The fear of leaving them behind? Who would help them achieve their dreams if he dropped dead? Ambrosia? No, she would simply go back to the woods with the rest of her hive. But Antithese had to be stopped, and It was his burden and his alone. All he had to do was get up! "H-hey, leave us alone!" The young thestral was hissing at somepony. Raven looked up and saw nine cloaked pony figures approaching them fast. For some reason, this gave the man deja vu.

"Aquire the Human." From what Raven could tell, the tallest of them said it was a male and a Unicorn. The rest of the Ponies said nothing and approached the injured Human. Many of them struggled, but they got the struggling Human on their backs. Which was impressive; the man currently weighed around 320 pounds(145.15kg)

"What the fuck!? Put me down, you crazy ponies!" Raven struggled as he was carried off to who knows where. Why did these Ponies always have to stick their snouts into his business?

"Human Acquired, now retreat!" As soon he said that all the ponies galloped away with Raven on their backs. Moon Charm galloped after them but was quickly picked up in a pale blue magic aura and placed on the Human's chest. The foal clung to the man's chest, refusing to let go.

The stallion who gave the orders galloped beside the angry Human. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Reaper. You may call me Doctor Cold Touch." The Doctor pulled his hood back slightly, showing that half of his face was gone. Moon Dancer saw this and buried her face into Raven's chest, scared. Even Raven was unnerved by the Doctor's appearance. His experience with the undead was that one necromancer from Feita and Zombie Glitters from Velder. However, that last one might have been Glitter Alchemist Joaquin's hallucination drugs.

Doctor Cold Touch gave the weary Human a tired smile. "Don't mind the appearance; I had no choice in the matter. I'm sure we'll be working together often. Now let's get you healed up."

What stood before the Queen of Nasods was utter trash. Twenty of them if she wanted to be accurate. Only seven of them caught her attention: The snake pony with the dark green coat and jewelry, the two ponies wearing cloaks that hid their forms, the bug pony wearing reading glasses, a shaking unicorn wearing a sweater and glasses, and a pony wearing a dress and sunglasses. And Finally, the little Unicorn that blasted her with that ridiculous weapon, she would make her death painful. As for the remaining ponies, they might as well be background noise to her.

"What's wrong, Scared?!" The cannon-carrying pony taunted the Nasod. She was at the back of the formation, pointing the cannon directly at Antithese. It was a good strategy, having someone like her hanging in the back, offering support fire. Unfortunately for all of them, Antithese wanted her dead first.

The Nasod sprinted towards Vinyl scratch, ready to end her life. The Vampony wasn't going down without a fight. Vinyl fired two short blasts from her cannon. Antithese quickly dodged these and continued her pursuit of that annoying loudmouth. As she neared her target, the pony with the black dress blocked her path, along with the two cloaked ponies. "You're not getding pazzed us!"

It was foolishness; Antithese will make examples of these three. "Mega Electron Ball: Zero" She formed an enormous dark pink electron ball and threw it forward. The attack would turn the three of them into charred corpses. But to her surprise, the dressing-wearing mare galloped forward and smacked the Electron Ball. The Electron Ball popped like a bubble and disappeared. "HOW?!" Her code was perfect; how could a single hit destroy one of her skills and not cause any damage?

She didn't have time to ponder it as the two cloaked ponies leaped forward and punched her. Antithese was hit in the face by the first sister and then punched in the stomach by the other. She kept her balance but was sent skidding backward from the force. Vinyl saw this opportunity and capitalized on it with a blast from cannon, pushing the Android back even further.

"Mein fraulein, are you hard of hearing? Because I told you aren't getding pazzed us.," The mare gave Antithese a cheeky smile. "And you certainly von't be able to beat me, Photo Finish!" Photo finish struck a pose, which angered the Nasod, but she was intrigued by this Pony's ability. All she needed to do was bait her.

"Heaven's Fist-Abandonded![Modified]!" Antithese sent out five giant Nasod fists to crush her enemies. It was the moment of truth. These fists came rushing forward at them; truly, these ponies couldn't stop her skill again?

"Vinyl, Aim for the top right for of those things!" Photo finish called out to her fellow vampony. Vinyl gave a wicked grin and aimed for the location. She fired five shots from the cannon, and each one landed, causing the fists to explode into corrupted code.

"This mare can see the weakness in my skills; how terrifying." Antithese thought to herself before using 'backdoor' to teleport herself over to Photo Finish. "That's why you must die!" She threw a kick out, ready to take off the mare's head. Ability or not, Photo Finish was still a pony. The leg was a few inches away from her head before the mare was blinked out of existence. The kick missed utterly, leaving her off balance for a single moment. Vinyl took this opportunity and blasted the android, knocking her over.

Before she could get back up, she found herself sinking into...Sand? Where did it come from? "Over here~" she looked to the side and saw the same Snake Pony from before, and she had a purple pentagram in front of her. "My name is Othrenia, and look up." Othrenia gave the trapped Nasod a sly smile before using her hoof to point up. She looks up to see what looks to be a combination between a bear and a bee. It was carrying a boulder. The bugbear grinned before dropping it on Antithese, trapping her in the sinking sand.

The bugbear landed next to Moondancer and Photo Finish. The bear is engulfed in green flames, revealing that it was Monarch. "That should do it; how long do you think it'll hold her?"

Photo Finish placed a hoof under her chin and rubbed it. "Not very long, alzo." The mare brought her attention to the nervous Moondancer. "Thank you for saving me; I would have lost mein head."

The mare in question blushed slightly at the gratitude. "O-oh, it's not a big deal; it was the best course of action at the moment. Now, let's hope she stays down for a while."

"Clementine." The ground beneath them began to shake as a melody in G major came on. Out of everypony, Vinyl found the music to be downright offensive.

"Sweet Celestia, this music sucks!" It's as if somepony gave a monkey a piano and told it to make music. In reality, it was a melody composed of incomplete code. This melody allowed the creation of something terrifying. Bursting from the ground were unknown images that tried grabbing anything in their way. Once in its grasp, it would consume and digitize whatever it grabbed. This thing did it to the ground where the Ponies stood on and to one unlucky vampony and snake pony. Their pained screams filled the air.

The others were lucky and got out of the way quickly enough. None of them could identify what this thing was. It was as if someone asked an Ai to create images of flowers and tiny robots. The result was these two-dimensional monstrosities that danced along with a broken melody. Thankfully it disappeared after a few seconds; the artificial creature disappeared.. But where was Antithese?

"BackDoor." The Nasod Queen teleported next to Photo Finish. This time she tried grabbing the pony instead of kicking her head off. Photo Finish reacted quickly and jumped back, resulting in her dress being ripped off by the Nasod.

"You'll have to try harder than zat!" It's been a while since the photographer had been naked like this. The mare had a camera shutter as her cutie mark.

A vampony stallion and a red snake pony thought it would be the perfect opportunity to attack. The both of them got behind the Nasod, ready to attack. "NO! Get away from her, you fools!" Photo Finish called out to her teammates, but it was too late.

Antithese didn't even turn around as Moby was smashed into the stallion's head, crushing his skull. "Junk Track." A giant drilling machine impaled the snake pony. It quickly turned her into a pile of gore and red mist as the blood and chunks were flung across the battlefield. It spun one last time before falling apart and exploding and turning into corrupted pixels.

"let me mAkE someThiNg CleaR" Antithese stepped forward and picked up the dead stallion. She held the corpse in her hands and shook it. "YOuR aTTACKs DId litTlE tO nOTHIng, YOU'rE NoTHIng But tRasH. Now RoLl OvEr aND dIe." Using her strength, she ripped the corpse in half. Dodge all they want, but she needed hit them once, and they would crumble.

"Big talk for sompony with shit taste in music! Why don't you call me trash to my face, bitch!" Again Vinyl taunted her opponent while being the furthest from the action.

"Rabbit." A diamond appeared in front of the Nasod, and like before; it created countless black needles. Unlike her other skills, this doesn't have a real weakness. Photo Finish took a nervous step back; she couldn't find a flaw. "Die!" The diamond began creating black needles attacking everyone nearby.

"Would you stop moving! We can't heal if you keep struggling like that!" The group of undead ponies managed to bring Raven and Moon charm back to the group of Changelings and Black Crow members. Currently, Xuez was giving Moon Charm an earful that what she did was the most idiotic thing in the world. Doctor Cold Touch used every healing spell he knew of, but they were barely working. It's as if his body was actively trying to resist it. "By the great maker, why isn't this working?" The Doctor said in frustration.

"Let me go! I need to get back in there!" Raven was struggling for another reason. Every time the undead doctor used a healing spell, it felt like his bones were set on fire! "Would you stop that?! It's not working!". None of them listened. Alive or undead, these Ponies always found a new way to annoy the Human. From the corner of his eye, he saw Jade crawl up beside him. The foal was sobbing, clearly upset with the situation, be it the loud noise, the blood, or just the smell. It didn't matter because Jade was upset, and Amber couldn't offer any comfort at the moment.

So, it was his responsibility to care for the crying filly. Freeing his right arm, much to the undead Ponies' protest, He brings the crying Jade into an embrace. The foal clung onto Raven, refusing to let go. They stayed like that until he heard the words he feared most. "Daddy." He looked down at the sniffling baby, and she repeated it. "Daddy." Raven bit his lower lip from the conflicting emotions that were swirling inside. But they all led back to one feeling, happiness.

"Why me?" He was a murderer; he killed those men without remorse, no matter how he wanted to justify it. Someone like himself didn't deserve any of this; he should be alone for the rest of his life. Yet here is hugging a crying child that called him daddy.

"Mr.Raven! Mr.Raven! Mr.Raven! Mr.Raven!" Moon Charm called out in excitement as she galloped over to the injured man.

"Moon Charm! I'm not done scolding you yet!" Xuez chased after the fleeing filly.

The Human grimaced; what could she be so excited about? Moon Charm stopped in front of Raven and lifted her cloak, showing her flank to the Man. "Look, I got my Cutie Mark!" she squeaked in excitement.

Raven's jaw dropped when it saw. Upon the filly's flank was the Velder insignia! And it's red as well, signaling that it belonged to the Red Knights. "HOW DID SHE GET THAT?!"This shouldn't be possible! He told them nothing of Velder, only the name. These Cutie Marks were the mark of Destiny. "But Velder and her citizens are gone, the only one left is...Me" It's funny how fate works, but it was clear what he had to do.

Closing his mouth, Raven grabs Jade and pulls her away. "n-no." The filly cried harder as she is being pulled away. The man hands her off to Moon Charm, much to her confusion. Raven pushes himself and sits up, causing the Doctor to sputter and yell at the Human.

Raven paid them no mind to it as he pushed the other undead Ponies off and stood at full height. He was severely hurt and tired, but he was ready to go again. "Are you insane!? You can't go back out there in your condition!"

He waved off the concerns and picked up his sword. "I'll be fine, I had a few minutes to rest, so I'm good to go again." That was only half the truth. While his mana reserves have been replenished slightly, he was still badly hurt. Raven looked back at Moon Charm. "I'm happy that you received your Cutie Mark, and I'm sorry for trying to throw away my life like that." The filly nodded in acceptance. "I'm going back out there, but I promise you, I'm coming back. You bear the insignia of Velder; who else will teach you how to be a proper Velder Knight?"

Moon Charm gasped in shock, then she looked to her Cuite mark, then back at the Human. "Are you saying?!" She remembered all the cool things Raven did out there with his sword. Could she do the same? When Raven nodded, she jumped in the air and flew around with Jade in her arms. "EEEEEEEEEEEE! I'll be the best knight ever!"

The former captain couldn't help but smile at her giddiness. "Now, how the hell am I going to do this?" His Valasia Arm still wasn't working, and he couldn't take much more of a beating. If only he had a healing potion. He would take any, even the shitty Cobo's Special potions.

"Maybe I can help?" Raven looked around in confusion for the voice source; it wasn't coming from his head. From the looks of everypony else, they heard the voice as well. "Check your pocket, silly." The voice belonged to an adolescent girl who sounded carefree. With nothing to lose, Raven checked his pocket and pulled out the red heart-shaped locket he had found earlier. He almost forgot about it. "Thank you; it was getting stuffy in there." The voice came from the locket

He really didn't know how to react; it was a talking locket. It wasn't the strangest thing. After all, he was in a world filled with talking Ponies. "How can you help?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I can't give you much of my magic because I need to save it for something special, but have this." The Locket emitted a rainbow light that nearly engulfed Raven's body. What is this?! NO, He's MINE TO CONTROL, NO NO!" The annoying little virus was promptly ripped from Raven's mind.

"FREEDOM! Systems are back online."

VALASIA ARM: Online

VENOM TAKER SKILLS: Online

MUTANT REAPER SKILLS: Online

NASOD CORE: Online

The rainbow light disappears, revealing that Raven has been healed, but not entirely. He was no longer bleeding, but he was still covered with cuts and bruises. The locket even replenished his mana reserves. Best of all, Raven's Valasia arm is functional again. The man looked at the locket in amazement. "That's the best I can do for now, sorry. I don't like saying this, but finish what I couldn't, for my little ponies and me." The voice disappeared, leaving Raven somewhat confused.

"Thank you." It wasn't just that his body was healed; he felt stronger! It was coming from his claw, a pulse as if grew a second heart. The pulse got stronger as he thought about it. Raven wanted to feed this pulse his rage! "Ah, my core had reactivated" The Nasod core that was given to him when his claw was installed. He was sure that it was destroyed when he infected himself with Alterasia.

"Awaken." The same orange aura surrounded the Human, but it was different. There were tiny sparks of lightning flying off his body. Something appeared next to the Human, a yellow sphere with six black spikes floating around it. Each spike was a different length. Raven gave his Nasod Core a sideways glance and said. "Welcome back." It didn't respond, but he felt the hunger pangs; it wanted to be fed rage. Regardless of how he thought about this, Raven will use everything at his disposal, even the thing he hated most in the world.

Raven looks back at the group of Ponies and smiles. "I'll be back, promise." He disappeared in a flash of speed.

The battle between Antithese and the Monster Ponies was still raging on, but it was going badly for the latter. The Queen ended the lives of three more Ponies and was ready to take more. "PATheTiC, YOU LoT cOuldn't EVeN lasT fIve MINUteS. Now coME OuT and Die witH soMe dIgNItY." She kicked the pink barrier that the remaining ponies were hiding under. The kick caused spider cracks to appear on the impact area. Magic quickly restored it.

"AUGH! I can't keep this up forever. Does anypony have a plan?!" Moondancer was crouching due to the stress of keeping the barrier up. She was the least injured, only having to burn two burn marks on her sweater. The two sisters' cloaks had burn marks everywhere, showing what color their coats were; The first had a persian blue-gray coat, while the second had a grayish heliotrope coat. Vinyl has her coat singed on her back, and her sunglasses had cracks on the lens. Photo Finish wasn't burned, but her right foreleg was broken. Monarch had cracks all over chitin, and some of these cracks were leaking green blood. Othrenia was primarily fine; she had some of her jewelry ripped off.

"I could throw more rocks at her." The first sister answered in her usual monotone voice.

"I could transform into a dragon and eat her," Monarch answered dryly.

"If I had mein camera, I would have blinded her with the flash." Photo Finish answered, sounding optimistic, even with a broken foreleg.

"I could do a belly dance and distract her." Othrenia shakes her hips a bit as she says this.

"If I had my whole set with me, I would have sent this creepy bitch to the moon by now." Vinyl blew a raspberry at the Nasod.

Moondancer felt her blood pressure rise after hearing all of their stupid answers. "I'm being bucking serious! This isn't time for jokes! AGH" Antithese kicked the barrier again, causing more cracks to form on the barrier. "For Celestia's sake, we're fighting a killer machine!"

The first sister was earnest; she would throw more rocks at the crazy Machine. Considering the circumstances, she pulled out her pet rock and tossed it over to her sister, who caught it. "Pi-" She quickly corrected herself. "Sister, I'll distract her while you run away. Please take care of boulder and tell Mother and Father I'm sorry." The second sister didn't say anything, but she waved her forelegs frantically.

Vinyl heard this and grinned. "Woah, you ain't doing it alone! I always wanted to go out with a bang!" The Dj didn't have the best life, but she lived it to the fullest. Although, she wished to have one final drink with her roommate. She looked over to Photo Finish and gave her a sympathetic look. "Photo, do me a favor and tell Octavia I'm sorry, and if possible, pay my half of the rent." The Fashion photographer nodded.

Antithese grew tired of their chit-chat and got ready to use 'Heaven's Fist- Abandoned.' to end their dreams of escape. When three black vines wrapped themselves around the torso, it also restricted her arms. "W-what?!" The thorns tore into her dress and pierced her skin. The Nasod was flung up into the air and was moving at an alarming rate.

The Nasod Queen looked down and saw the source of the Vines. It Raven and his claw was functioning again. She gritted her teeth in anger. Who could have cleansed him of the virus? "bAStards!" She screamed out in Anger.

"Cruel Attack!" Raven slammed Antithese far into the ground with his black vines. Once that happened, his Nasod core took the form of a spear and chased after her. He had to admit Ambrosia's training paid off, and it was satisfying. He had a minute at best before she got back up. Raven detached the vines from his claw and made his way over to the barrier. His Nasod core returned to his side as he walked. The man knocked on the barrier a couple of times before saying, "It's safe now; drop the barrier. "

"Thank Celestia." Moondancer dropped it, and flopped onto the ground exhausted. Vinyl was the first to approach and size up the Human. Of course, she didn't get too close; the aura around him was covered in lightning.

"Damn, dude, that was awesome! Wanna teach me that party trick sometime?"She gave the Human a wink under her glasses.

"Another time, and thank you for saving me back there. I might have done something I might have regret." Vinyl nods with a blush on her cheeks.

"Nah, it was nothing! You have done the same, Reaper."

Again with that nickname! Raven found it dreadful. "To all of you who are injured or unwilling to fight, retreat!" This wasn't up for debate. He needed the most capable fighting alongside him. It didn't long for more than half of the remaining Ponies to retreat. Photo Finish, Monarch, and the second sister are the most notable ones. The rest were willing to fight along with him.

MoonDancer was about to retreat but was stopped by the Human. "Not you; I need you." He stared down the mare with one eye.

The Mare in question gulped nervously. What could the Reaper want with her?! "H-happy to -help, sir. What was it you needed? And my name is Moondancer" She prayed to Celestia that he didn't want her soul!

"Can you mass teleport?"

"Eh?" MoonDancer didn't know how to respond to that. Mass Teleportation was a tricky thing. It required multiple mages to perform or a very talented Unicorn. The mare was rather good when it came to magic, but the talents were more of her being knowledgeable. "It's possible, but why are you asking me this?"

"Can you teleport over a thousand Ponies and one Human?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow.

The Unicorn's jaw dropped, are all Humans insane, or was he a special case? "You can't be serious!? That would require me to"

Raven held his claw out, effectively ending the Mare's protest. "It's a matter of life and death." It was true; ever since he returned to the battlefield, he has felt the steady rise of El energy within the Nasod. Whatever Antithese was planning, it wasn't good, and he needed a backup plan just in case. " Antithese is planning something, and I might not be able to stop it; that's where you come in and teleport everyone to safety. Can you do it?"

Moondancer bit her lower lip. The Human was placing heavy responsibilities on her withers. Why did it have to be her? "I'll see what I can do. It might take me a while. By the way, when this is all over, you better show me all the knowledge you Humans have been hoarding!" The unicorn closed her eyes and began charging the spell.

It was Raven's turn to be shocked. "How does she know about the archive?" he could question her another time because he heard the angered screams of Antithese freeing herself. "Oleander, Ambrosia, hurry up!" With nothing else to say, Raven charges back into battle.

Somewhere down in a certain crater, Fred was regaining consciousness. "Hhmm, What the fuck happened.?" He ran a shadowy claw across his face and found that his skull had a massive crack running down it. "Oh right, I got blasted out the sky and…Olly!" The Demon flew out of the crater at high speeds and back into the sky, and what he saw surprised him.

Both of Adam's shoulder guards were nowhere to be found, along with the missile silos. The Changelings somehow found a way to pin the machine's one remaining arm with their goo. Also, there were three Sirens in the air, flying alongside the Changeling Queen and Oleander. The demon made his way over. "Olly, what happened while I was down?" It couldn't be more than five minutes.

Before Oleander could answer, Sonata shrieked in fright and pointed a hoof at Fred. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! It's a demon, everypony run away!" Before she could fly off, Adagio smacked her across the head for her stupidity.

"As I was saying! Thank goodness you're alright! And stop calling me Olly!" Fred would never do such a thing; it was too fun. "And as you can see, we've received back up, and thanks to them." She gestured towards the three Sirens. Sonata was the only one who smiled and waved her hoof. "we were able to restrain Adam." Ambrosia made a disapproving sound with her throat, causing Oleander to giggle nervously. "Of course, Queen Ambrosia and her hive helped as well.

Fred nodded after the unicorn finished her recap of the situation. "I'm guessing you need my help?"

"Perceptive as always, Fred." Oleander pointed at Adam's core which was fully healed at this point. "Instead of destroying it, we will yank out the gem that caused all this." Everypony gave her a questioning look. It caused her to sigh. "When we first damaged Adam's Core, I saw a blue crystal in that pile of flesh, and I believe it was the reason why the core was fully healed. So that's why I'm having the Sirens burn the surface area, then I want you." She pointed at her companion. "to slice and pull it open. While you do this, Queen Ambrosia will drain it of its blood, clearing the way. Once I see the gem, I'll use my magic to rip it out." It wasn't the best plan, but beggars can't be choosers.

"One more thing." The Demon used his claw to pull Oleander out of Ambrosia's magical grasp, allowing Oleander to fly once more. " Much better!"

"Thank you. Is everypony ready!" Once everypony nodded, she gave the signal. "Charge!" The sirens were first up and flew forward at high speeds. All three of them opened their mouths and released their red energy blast, burning the surface of the core. Fred was up; next, he came charging in and stuck both of his massive claws into the fleshy core. It took all of his might, but he managed to pull the middle apart, revealing its disgusting innards. It was Ambrosia's turn; she cleared the way by draining the blood from the gash using her magic.

It was finally Oleander's turn; Fred brought the unicorn closer. The dark magic user searched and searched for the blue gem that caused all of this. "Fred, try spreading it wider!" With a grunt, the demon did as he was told. Again she searched and searched and..."Found it!" Near the top inside this monstrosity was a glowing crystal. Using her magic, she tugged on it, but the surrounding flesh dragged back. This went on for a full minute before the unicorn had enough of this and pulled with all her might. "GIVE IT TO ME!" Oleander pulled one final time before the gem was removed from the flesh.

As soon as the gem was removed, Adam lost all of its power and fell backward. Before he could shut down for one final time, he said something. "THANK...YOU." The Nasod King was laid to rest one last time. The massive machine hit the ground, causing the land under it to crack and kick up dust. But it was done; Adam was defeated!

Oleander brought the gem over to herself. It was massive; it was nearly half her height. She held the Crystal in her hooves; she could the power flowing from it! It almost felt she was carrying another living being. A feeling of calm washed over me. "O-oh, this is nice." The unicorn hugged it and swore she could hear a voice emitting from it. Then she realized something; Oleander pulled back from the embrace and looked at it. "This must be the El!" The Human's description of the El was always vague, but it was made clear it was something powerful.

"Fred!" she called out to her companion; the demon flew over his master. "Bring me over to Raven; we need to give this to him!" She held out the glowing El Crystal.

Fred turned his head and looked where Raven and Antithese were fighting. "Uh, I'm not sure if that's a good idea."

"JUST DO IT!"

"Clementine!" Antithese created her two-dimensional monsters once again.

"Death scream!" Raven calls upon his phantom, and it starts devouring the Nasod's skill.

Their weapons clashed with each other, and they held it for a couple of seconds. "YOu'Re StILl TOO weaK! YOU caN'T BEaT ME!" Raven smiled as the first sister came from behind him and threw a powerful hoof punch at Anithese's shin. The nasod cringed in pain, which created an opening in the Human.

"Invasion!" Raven fired the skill at point-blank, and the knockback sent the man skidding backwards . However, it was worth it as he watched Anithese being forced back by the Valasia drill. The drill was firmly planted into her stomach, and it threatened to rip her in half if she didn't do anything about it.

"Purify!" Remy lands upon Anthiese's head and lightly taps her core. This created a shockwave destroying the Valasia drill and removing the venom in her system. She stood there clutching her stomach in pain. She breathed heavily. "yOU ArE nOTHing CompAReD To mE! BacKdOOR!" she teleported to Raven, ready to kick him to death. But the Nasod was blasted by Vinyl Scratch.

"EAT SHIT! HAHAHA!" The DJ called out before firing three more shots from her cannon. This forced the Nasod to jump away from Raven.

Raven got ready to use another skill but stopped as his aura disappeared. The effects of Awakening wore off, but thankfully the backlash wasn't as bad. "I think I could do it more time, maybe two, if I pushed myself?" Raven clutched his chest in pain. "Just need a few minutes."

Antithese saw this and was ready to punish Raven for leaving himself open; that's when she heard the beeps coming from moby. This indicated one thing, her hyperactive was ready. So she did the one thing she loved; laughing at the weak. "HAHahAHAhAhA!" and she kept laughing.

The Cyborg had a good idea why she was laughing and looked back at Moondancer. The mare had aura layers overlapping her horn as she continued to charge her horn. He wasn't sure if she was ready, so he needed to stall for time. "What's so funny?" He asked between breaths.

Antithese's voice returned to normal. "It's over for all of you! You're all going to die. Here!" The Nasod held her arms out and got ready to use her skill until they heard something.

"Raven!" The man and Nasod looked up and saw Oleander and Fred flying towards them. And in the Unicorn's hooves was the El Crystal!

The Nasod Queen looked over at Adam and saw that he was dead. She raged at the fact that one of her subjects was taken down by a bunch of Ponies. "Adam, you worthless piece of junk!" she could always rebuild him! But she needed to get the El back! "Unleashed!" A two-dimensional monstrosity was created from code and corrupted holographic. Unlike the others, it had pincers. It appeared above Fred, and it attacked him.

Fred screamed in pain as things tore into his back. "For the love of! Hey, monkey! Catch" The demon scooped up Oleander in his claw and threw her at the Human. Oleander screamed as this happened.

Raven ran forward, and he caught the screaming unicorn with his arms. "Gotcha! You okay?" He asked the unicorn with a big smile on his face.

Oleander let out a relieved sigh and gave the Human a stern look. "I'll be okay once I stuff Fred's book into a toilet! Oh, and this belongs to you." The unicorn places the El Crystal into Raven's claw, and she quickly hops down, not wanting to be carried anymore.

Power

That was the only way he could describe it, absolute power. His one eye was glowing hot white, and a pure white aura surrounded his body. Raven felt like something or someone was guiding him. He felt at one with himself and the world around him. He didn't even need to think; Elria would guide his hand. "So this what Elsword felt when he resonated with the El."

Raven understood why someone loses themselves to the EL when using it. It felt like he was swimming through a massive ocean that could pull him under at any time. But he wouldn't mind such an outcome, born from the El, and he shall return to the El.

He heard Antithese's annoying laugh again; he believed it was time to end her. "HAHAHA! It doesn't matter if you have the El; you're all going to die here! Michelangelo!" She laughed as error messages appeared all over the battle the field. More and more than appeared, soon all of them will be consumed by Antithese's perfect code. There was nothing they could do about it.

"Moondancer." It was the first word he spoke, and it sounded like their multiple people talking with him. "Teleport and leave us behind."His words held power, and the mare obeyed him. Moondancer got on her hind legs and yelled before blinking herself and everypony off the battlefield. Leaving Raven and Antithese.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO! You bastard!" Then she grinned savagely. "At least you'll die here!"

"Shadow step." Unlike before, Raven didn't immediately disappear; this time, he became transparent. He slowly walked toward Antithese with a blank expression on his face. "You will fall here; it has been preordained. And soon, you will face judgment for your crimes, Eve!"

"Don't call me that! Eve is dead! I am perfection, and I shall recreate this world. The Gods couldn't stop me; what makes you think you can?!" It was more of the same drivel, about being perfect. Raven didn't need to say anything else; he would deliver Elria's divine punishment in a few moments. More of the space around them was filled up with error screens as time went on. Until everything became black, at the same time, Raven disappeared from view.

The battlefield was utterly barren; the code consumed all the blood and corpses. The only things that were left behind were the stones and Adam's giant body. Thankfully, the group of ponies and changelings were teleported out of range. This left the Nasod Queen standing there by herself. She looked to the side and found that Remy was gone; she would punish that tiny disloyal piece of trash later. At least Moby stayed by her side, her only true subject. "tRash, AlL Of tHem" Her voice was back in that usual broken state.

Antithese breathed heavily as she clutched her chest and stomach in pain. "dAmN thOse wORmS ANd thEIr tRiCks! I'Ll fiND thEm!" Thanks to that stupid Unicorn, her Hyper Active completely missed! But that was okay; she could do it again; she just needed some time and rest. Then she could finally get rid of them and remake this world as she sees fit—just a little more time.

Then she heard something coming from behind her, a heartbeat. She tried turning around but couldn't. Her artificial lungs felt like they were burning from the inside out. It was the same thing with her skin; it felt like someone was peeling it off. Even her vision was starting to fail her. When she finally noticed it, the Nasod Queen was in some kind of fog made from Valasia.

The old Nasod turned her head and found the source of this venomous gas; Raven. He held the El in his claw, and it was most likely why he was able to perform such a feat."Ah, so this is defeat? It's bitter, so this must be how Raven felt at the time." She thought to herself as she stared at the Human. He had an unreadable expression on his face as he raised his blade and brought it back down, cutting something she couldn't see.

"HEART BREAKER!"
