The Stars That Bind Us
Chapter 31
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's strange, how two completely different lives intertwined one another, their fates transcending into one path. Two worlds united that span across universes to share under a sea of stars and conflict.
A survivor, a warrior who ran from their past; A leader, a ruler who lost their way now found. Both paths come together for one goal, one way to stop an evil foe before all is lost.
The gloomy skies loomed over the chateau as its master was making his final preparations. Getting his ultimate weapon ready to begin the end of the world. Sombra looked on gleefully as his subjects worked endlessly.
“Almost ready,” He chuckled as he watched from the observatory deck, watching the humans and ponies working on the nuke.
As they worked, a large explosion hit the building, rocking it from its foundation to the core, disrupting the workers.
“S-sire!” Franky the bat cried out from the halls.
Sombra made a sound before teleporting to one of the balconies. The entire front of the building was in flames. At first he didn’t see who was the cause of it, but it soon became perfectly clear on what it was.
The skies began turning a deep shade of red as loud, booming roars sounded like thunder clasping hard rang. Many large dragons broke through the clouds and began to shoot fire down on it.
With a snarl, Sombra used his magic to generate a shield.
However, as the shield was being created, a light arrow whizzed past his head, hit the wall and it exploded. The blast knocked the tyrant out of his balcony.
Sombra turned to smoke midair before landing on the ground.
“SOMBRA!!!”
Stepping up on a rock, holding her bow, Rachel stepped forward. Her golden eyes set ablaze, her sight set on the dark horse himself.
He straightened up, smoothing his mane with his hand. “Ah, my Queen, you’re quite early.” He taunts. “I wasn’t expecting you until a few days at least.”
Rachel narrowed her eyes as she tossed the bow into its pocket dimension, wordlessly pulling out the Blue Celestial.
“Bring forth!” She yelled in Draconic before slamming the staff down, it glowed brightly before many, many spurts of blue flames erupted from all over her. One by one, members of her army appeared as more and more of the larger dragons flew ahead.
Seeing the massive amount of numbers the Queen had brought, it brought a smile to Sombra’s face. “Oh how cute, you want to play?” He taunts before his eyes glow and begin to mist. His horn glowed with portals of his own appearned, portals from the depths of Tartarus and his own legion of demons came forth. “Now, where is Sir Spike?”
As a response, a large concentration of pure, draconic magic shot at him. Knocking Sombra crashing right into the building.
Spike dropped from the ground, his staff still glowing from just using it. Rachel gave him a look. “Seriously? A cheap shot?”
He shrugged. "He wondered where I was."
A demonic growl cut through the air, the tyrant shot in the air in his smoke form.
Letting out a hellish sound, he hurls to the ground right up to the two draconic rulers,when he landed, it sent a shock wave that knocked the two off their rock. When Sombra shimmered back to his normal form, a long curved scythe made of cold steel and dark crystals.
It seemed to be a signal because once his form appeared, his dark legions charged.
"FOR EQUESTRIA!!" Spike roared.
With a loud, thundering battle cry, the armies charged. Dragons, Ponies, Humans, all working as one, charged at the demons from Tartarus.
Once they collided, the battle commenced.
Various light bombs went off, steel and led cut through the various demons. The mind controlled soldiers fought against their own kind. Fire, teeth and claws, iron, steel, lead and magic, everything and everyone threw all they have. Not one being sat in the sidelines as the battle went on.
The two rulers were back to back as they slayed the creatures. Spike held his sword and staff while Rachel used her bow. Shooting arrows left and right, the arrows exploding on impact. Spike slashed and stabbed, using his magic to blast the enemy back. Working together.
The Elements of Harmony - minus Pinkie Pie - were on the ground fighting. Starlight and Twilight threw down all magic and spells used, Rainbow Dash was on the ground fighting with swords and Applejack using guns shooting up a storm. Fluttershy unleashed all of her animal friends from both land and sea and sky, using a heavy metal bo staff as her held weapon, whacking anything that comes her way.
When it comes to the mind controlled creatures, she whimpers. "Sorry." Whack. "I'm so sorry." Double Whack. "Please don't be mad at me." Whacks to the next life.
Somewhere in the battlefield, even Tempest and Capper were in on the action.
"Whoo Nelly, these varmins keep on a-comin!" AJ shouted as she reloaded her rifle and resumed firing.
"We'll fight as long as we can, we can't give up!" RD said as she spun and sliced the head of a hellcat off.
Spike and Rachel finished taking down a large Shrieker. "Rach, it's time." Spike told her, looking where he needed to go. Already he could see the small group, a mix of human and dragon, finding their way towards the entrance.
"Get our son back." Rachel tells him.
Spike gave her a quick kiss. "I will." He then takes off in the air as one of the ancient dragons soared over them. The larger ones blasting fire from the skies and attacking on the ground.
Rachel watched her love go before turning her attention to the demons.
Those who tried to attack Sombra were quickly cut down.
As he cut down a soldier, a concentration beam of the literal sun itself blasted him.
Sombra let out a painful howl as he rolled on the ground and back on his hooves.
"Sombra!" The voice of Celestia bellowed.
Sombra had just enough time to raise his scythe up to meet in contact with Celestia's sword. Squaring up with her.
He grinned maliciously on her face. "Hello Auntie." He spoke in Blueblood's voice.
Celestia angrily shouted, pulling her sword back and lunged at Sombra.
Sombra raised his scythe, slamming the blade on the ground, with a shout he flung it out, a large jagged shard of black crystal erupted from the ground and was shot at Celestia.
Before the crystal hit her, it shattered into tiny pieces. Luna flying through the shattered parts, darkness pouring out of her.
The Sisters charged at the tyrant, attacking at once.
While he and the demon legions were being distracted, Spike and his team successfully infiltrated the chateau.
Don't worry Igneous, I'm coming. Spike thought as the search begun.
