1 Year Later... / Kyra Returns *

Kyra took a step towards Derpy.

"You think you can beat me?" Kyra yelled.

Derpy walked towards Kyra.

"No." said Derpy, stopping in front of Kyra. "I know I can."

"Really?" asked Kyra, laughing a bit. "And you think you can, why?"

"Because I have something worth fighting for."

Kyra let out a roar, extending her mouth once again. Derpy took a step back in fear but managed to stand her ground. Kyra closed her mouth. She took a step back. For the first time, Derpy saw a bit of fear in Kyra.

"What's going on?" she asked. "Why aren't you frozen with fear?"

"Not sure, Kyra." said Derpy. "I guess I'm just not scared of you anymore."

A angry frown spread across Kyra's face. A soft growl escaped her lips and she reverted back to her normal evil self.

"Then, I guess," Kyra began calmly. "there's nothing left to do, but..."

Kyra lowered her head a bit and appeared sad. Then, in the blink of an eye, swung her hoof, knocking Derpy across the face. She flew backwards and smacked into the cave wall. Kyra approached Derpy as she fell to the floor.

"You have no idea what you're in for, girl." said Kyra, levitating Derpy and holding her against the wall. "You are about to receive more pain than any pony has ever felt."

Derpy's leg started to twist and pull.

"Hey, Kyra!" yelled a voice.

Kyra let go of Derpy's leg and whipped around. Her gaze quickly fell upon Twilight's crown. Her friends were wearing necklaces. She then quickly glanced at the open box near Celestia's hooves.

"No." Kyra said softly.

"It's over for you Kyra." said Twilight.

"NO!" yelled Kyra. "I WON'T GIVE UP!" A burst of dark energy erupted from Kyra. "I WON'T!"

Kyra's blast sent cracks shooting up the sides of the cave, also knocking Derpy to the ground.

"Ready, girls?" asked Twilight.

"Ready." her friends responded.

Their Elements started to glow, shooting a rainbow up into the air.

"NO!" yelled Kyra.

The rainbow swirled around her as she let out a scream. The cave filled with a bright light which soon faded away, leaving Kyra lying on the floor of the cave. There was a cracking sound as bits of rock fell from the ceiling. Kyra opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

"What..." Kyra said, slowly getting back up. "What happened?" She gaze around the cave and spotted Twilight. "YOU!" she yelled. She made an attempt to launch out dark energy but nothing happened. "What?" she asked. Her skin changed to bright red and her mane became blue. Her cutie mark became a heart. "My powers..."

Twilight looked up as the ceiling began to crack. More rock bits rained down.

"YOU TOOK MY POWERS!" Kyra yelled.

She took off towards Twilight, who launched a bolt. It struck Kyra, sending her flying backwards and hitting the wall. She fell to her knees.

"We have to go!" yelled Twilight. "This place is falling apart!"

She and the others ran to the mouth of the cave.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" yelled Kyra. "COME BACK!" A tear fell from her eye. "Come back." she said, crying.

She heard a cracking sound above and looked up. A large chunk fell from the ceiling above her. Kyra closed her eyes and everything went black.

1 YEAR LATER...

Fluttershy was feeding her birds when Derpy came by with the mail. The pegasus looked over and smiled with a wave. "Hello, Derpy."

The gray pegasus stopped at the mailbox and looked over at her, smiling back. "Hiya, Fluttershy. Shall I leave your mail in here or would you like it?"

"In the box is fine," Fluttershy cooed. "I'll get it when I'm done feeding the birds."

Derpy opened the box and slid the mail in before closing it. She hesitated before turning to the yellow pegasus. "Do you... remember that mare a year ago?"

Fluttershy stopped throwing the bird seed and froze up. She then looked through her mane at the mail mare. "How could I forget?"

"I, uh... still have nightmares," Derpy said as she rubbed her left foreleg. "I know she's gone, but... I still check every corner of my house before I sleep."

Fluttershy got up and turned to face the gray mare. "I do, too. But, she's gone, Derpy. The Elements got rid of her, remember?"

Derpy nodded. "I know. And the mountain fell on her. But, I can't shake the feeling she's still around."

The yellow mare smiled lightly. "Give it time. I'm sure we'll all be able to sleep soundly soon enough."

"Yeah," Derpy agreed with a forced smile. "Well, I should get going. Mail to deliver," she said, before walking away.

Fluttershy watched her leave before going back to her birds.

The rubble of Dragon Mountain began to shift a little as a skeletal hoof burst through it. There was eerie hissing as the skeleton pony crawled out of the debris. As it crawled away, blood and muscle began to grow around it as it started to leave a blood trail like a snail. As its teeth grew back, skin and red fur began to form around the muscle, reforming the pony whole again. Kyra let out a loud yell and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Every joint hurt like hell and she could barely find the strength to get up. As she breathed, each sharp exhale caused the dirt to blow away from her face. Her faded red eyes looked around as if she was unsure where she was.

"What... the fuck?" She asked herself, even feeling the heat of the sun on her body. She felt uncomfortably normal. Like all her power was gone.

She started to get feeling back in her legs and she slowly and cautiously stumbled to her hooves. Getting up, she took a step and felt her left front leg give out. Letting up a yelp, she hit the ground hard with a groan. Pushing herself back up, she wiggled her left foreleg until she felt the feeling come back. Setting it back down, she put pressure on it to test it. Feeling it hold, she began to limp away from where the mountain used to be.

Derpy made her way down the path towards Dragon Mountain. Arriving at the site of their last battle with Kyra, Derpy looked up at the collapsed cave. A bunch of the rocks had tumbled down to the base of the mountain. The gray pegasus trotted over to the rubble and let out a gasp. Near the rocks were hoofprints. She then frantically began to dig through the rubble, not finding a body. She took a step back and looked around.

"Oh, no," she gasped, turning around and taking off back down the path.

She didn't get very far before she heard a grunt and a thud. Taking cover behind a tree, she held her breath before peeking out. She saw the red demon getting up from the ground and brushing dirt off her legs. Kyra then started to limp away back towards town. Derpy went wide-eyed and ducked down as she quietly shuffled away. Once a good ways away, she flapped her wings and lifted herself off the ground before flying back to town.

Back at Ponyville, Derpy quickly flew over to the library and opened the door. “Twilight?!”

The purple unicorn came trotting down the stairs with a look of worry on her face. “Derpy?” She asked. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Kyra!” Derpy gasped, lunging forward to get in the mare’s face. “She’s back. I saw her. I don’t think she saw me but I saw her.”

“Kyra?” Asked Twilight. “The Elements got rid of her. Then, the top of the mountain caved in with her inside.”

Derpy quickly shook her head and trotted in place. “Noooooo,” she whined. “When I saw her, she was limping. I think you only hurt her.”

Twilight hesitated before thinking about Zecora. “Alright… If you saw what you say you saw, then we need to be ready. I’ll send word to Celestia and Luna and we’ll get the Elements ready.”

Derpy nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Twilight.”

The unicorn smiled back and patted the pegasus’ side. “Be careful. She may be weak but I’m betting she’s still dangerous.”

Derpy nodded and turned to leave. “Please, hurry. I don’t wanna be looking over my shoulder everywhere I go.”

Twilight let out a nervous chuckle. “Neither do I."

Rainbow Dash left the spa feeling refreshed as she let out a sigh of happiness. “Rainbow Dash!” Someone yelled, making her jump back in shock. She then saw Twilight run up to her.

“I thought I’d find you here,” Twilight said as she looked around for something.

“Wh-What, why would you…” Rainbow started, before getting cut off.

“Kyra may be back,” Twilight said quickly as she leaned in.

Rainbow went wide-eyed. “Kyra? That demon we defeated a year ago?”

The purple unicorn nodded. “Derpy saw her leaving Dragon Mountain earlier."

The pegasus let out a deep sigh. "What do we do? Confront her?"

Twilight shook her head. "Not without the Elements. If we see her, ignore her. If we see her and she sees us, back away. We can't risk setting her off. Not until we're ready."

The cyan mare nodded. "I just hope she doesn't attack on sight."

The unicorn smiled nervously. "That's what I'm worried about. Just spread the word to the others, and keep an eye out. She could be anywhere."

"Got it," Rainbow said, before shooting off into the sky,

Twilight watched her go before turning to head back to her library.

Kyra fell against the side of a building, staring into an alley. As she panted, she saw a stallion pinning a pale magenta mare down. Her red eyes fell on the stallion. She began to water at the mouth as she stumbled down the alley. As she got closer, she could hear the mare whimpering as the stallion's rod was in plain view. It was then he noticed the red mare approaching.

"You come to join, hot stuff?" He asked, the mare looking over at her.

"Help me!" She begged, tears in her eyes.

Kyra tilted her head as she stepped up to them. She then squatted down with her head directly above the mare's, before opening her mouth wide and sticking out her tongue. The stallion smirked and stepped forward, his rod sliding into the red mare's mouth. The stallion sighed happily and buried his pole all the way in Kyra's mouth. When the red mare felt the stallion's nuts hit her chin, her eyes flashed red as she clamped her teeth down.

The stallion screamed in pain as blood sprayed from Kyra's mouth. The magenta mare on the ground started crying as blood splattered her face and chest. When the stallion ripped himself away from his attacker, he was without a penis. Kyra sighed happily and chewed what was in her mouth, before swallowing. She then hung her head to look at the frightened mare beneath her.

"You may go," she said darkly as shadows crept into the alley. "I have my meal."

The mare whimpered and scurried away. When she got to the edge of the alley, she turned around to face the demon. "Th-Thank you," she stammered, before running away.

Kyra returned her attention to the stallion, her eyes glowing bright red. As the shadows snuffed out the light, the stallion's screams filled the alley before there was a loud burst of blood splattering the area.
