Equestria. Magehold. Late Afternoon.

After a joint effort from both Magehold and Pegalysium, the Arcane Institute's ships were struck by the power of the Unown.

The explosion would shake the trees of Magehold as well, causing many birds and bats to fly away and many of the vampires that lived in Magehold would look to where the massive explosion came from.

A huge cloud of smoke filled the area as the explosion died down, everyone looking onwards at the outcome. Lo and behold, once everything cleared, a beautiful and rather angelic light had overtaken the dark shield, protecting all of them from the full force of the beam. Dimstar and the others gasped upon seeing this, witnessing how the one to protect them was Silver Swirl. The unicorn was standing tall, her horn shining with power as she had cast a powerful spell to save everyone.

Once she was done, she would stand back, breathing deeply and looking at everyone. Granted, he didn't manage to save some of the ships, causing them to fail and be out of commission, but at least everyone else was safe. The remaining Despair Plants would screech loudly and would look at the unicorn in annoyance.

"Hooh...Too close." Silver Swirl sighed, almost falling to the floor. "Is everypony alright?"

"Nice save." Violet BlueLight smiled.

"You actually stopped all of that? How?" Phantasia blinked with absolute confusion.

"Isn't it obvious? That whole Guardian Angel title she has isn't just a title. Where she comes from, she was a literal Guardian Angel." Flawless knew the answer to that.

"A literal Guardian Angel? Like from Heaven? The Heaven? Is that what you are?" Phantasia asked. She didn't know why she would ask such an obvious question. "I thought that was metaphorical and you just had really good magic!"

"Sort of. I'm just a special kind of unicorn, that's all." Silver let out a sheepish grin.

"Either way, it's done us a service. The trap has been held back because of your actions." Alpha said before looking up at the sky where the beam came from. Even though Pegalysium was way too high for her to see, she knew that there was trouble above. "Some of you. Take your Pokemon and whichever ships still work and ascend. Find out who did this. If I had to guess, it would be the Nation of Pegalysium"

Alpha's words prompted many to follow. Some of them flew up and disappeared through the clouds. It was unknown as to what they were doing or where they were going. However, Alpha, Silver Swirl and the other students of the Institute were not done yet.

"As for you all, you'll pay for this interference." Alpha declared to Dimstar and all the vampires. She knew that the vampires wouldn't just give up so easily. She would call out to everyone else, all students who would turn their attention to her.

The vampires would have to keep at it, their strategy being sabotaged by Silver Swirl's magic. But they still had options. Gardevoir would approach the vampires along with all the other Pokemon of the Institute, continuing their assault. Dimstar snarled at them, flailing and whipping her invisible tendrils around in anger.


Above Equestria and in the skies, the Arcane Institute were heading up. They had to reach the source of the beam. They had to go to the city in the sky, Pegalysium. They all flew upwards with their Pokémon, flying as high as they could.

They reached a great distance and were nearing Pegalysium, and they would find out who exactly did it. They could see a great distance, the air getting thinner and the atmosphere changing as they ascended higher. As they flew higher, they saw something in the sky that looked like a floating city, which was indeed the case. The air around it was cold, but the air was clear and there was a lot of wind blowing around them. The Arcane Institute approached Pegalysium.

"They're ascending faster than expected!" A soldier gasped, using the Unown to see from this distance.

"No need to panic. If they wish to approach us, they will have to earn it." Paramount spoke, looking at the Unown once more. "Do it, Unown."

With that order, the Unown would unleash Hidden Power once more. Many red rays would start descending from the sky and towards the Institute. Each one would travel at incredible speed and accuracy. They would aim at the ships that were approaching, aiming to knock them down and prevent them from reaching Pegalysium.

The Institute saw this and would fly out of the way. Some would even use magic to block the beams of light. They all kept going and were nearing their target. They would soon reach Pegalysium, and once they were close enough, they would attack it and find out who was behind this attack on them. It would only be a matter of time.

The Hidden Power would also start affecting the clouds, causing strange effects. It was almost like a sort of illusion magic was taking place. The rays were causing a strange phenomenon that was altering the environment. It was hard to describe exactly, but it was like a sort of distortion or change to the area.

"Strange, isn't it?" King Paramount chuckled. "Our dear friends have such interesting abilities."

"Indeed. I hope this does something to those invaders." Queen Luminary looked onward.

As the Institute flew higher and higher, they could see that there was some kind of distortion around them, making it hard for them to navigate and reach their destination.

The Hidden Power would cause strange effects in the clouds. The rays of light would distort and bend the clouds around the institute, making it difficult for the members to see and navigate. Some of them were caught in a vortex of swirling clouds and others were thrown around. It was like a whirlpool in the sky, a giant distortion in the atmosphere that made it hard for the institute to get to their target. Some of them even crashed into each other or into the distorted clouds. It was a confusing and dangerous situation that caused a lot of chaos.

The institute had to navigate the distortion in the sky and fight their way to reach the source of the beam, Pegalysium. Despite the chaos, they were still able to reach their target and attack it.


Elsewhere, while the Institute began their attack, another group of the Institute were currently bringing Professor Grogar elsewhere. The Professor finally left the Arcane Institute and his universe as a whole, searching for the body of his main counterpart.

Professor Grogr and his allies would be seen travelling through Equestria in order to reach their goal. They would go from world to world, the Professor believing in his counterpart to have a backup after his passing.

"Are you certain about this, Professor?-" One of his lackeys asked. He didn't want to doubt the bodiless Professor, but he felt the need to ask, just in case.

"It has to be done. If there is one place where we will find Grogar, then I would think it would be there." Grogar replied, looking ahead as the ship moved on.

Much like his main self, Grogar was a Professor who was known to be an expert in magic and other subjects. He was also known to be very cunning and devious. He had a plan to find a new body to inhabit and he was going to do it no matter what.

As he travelled to his destination, he was thinking about how he would find the body he was looking for. He was thinking about where it might be and what it would be like to inhabit a new body. He had many thoughts running through his head, but he knew that the only way he would find out was if he found the body himself.

As the group would move on, the lackeys would be a bit concerned, having their doubts about all this. They weren't even sure that Grogar would even find his main body in such a place like this.

"We'll find it. I know myself well." Grogar assured, confident that he will. The group eventually reached a location that the professor thought his body would be hidden. A place called Mount Evertop.

Mount Evertop was an area that is located in the southern part of Equestria. It is a very large and very steep mountain that towers over the surrounding countryside. It has a peak that is higher than the clouds and the base of the mountain is covered in dense forest and rocky cliffs, making it one of the largest mountains in Equestria. It was surrounded by the sea, and is a very dangerous and difficult mountain to climb, but the Arcane Institute were determined.

They would fly the airship, going as far up the mountain until the ship couldn't reach any more. Once that happened, the Professor and his lackeys would get off the ship and proceed to hike up the mountainside on their own.

It would be a bit of an intense journey, and not everyone in the party were used to climbing mountains, let alone something so large, but Professor Grogar wouldn't take no for an answer and so they continued.

Living in this mountain and around it were various Pokemon that have claimed it as their home. Many wild Pokemon were seen as they made it up there. Professor Grogar didn't want to cause any problems so they tried their best to be stealthy, making sure no wild Pokemon spotted them.

One of the lackeys looked at a small ledge up ahead. They were getting closer to the top of the mountain. The lackeys were a little nervous about what might happen when they got to the top of Mount Evertop. They knew that the professor had a plan for what to do once he found his body. They were hoping that they would not have to deal with the wrath of any powerful beings that might be in the area.

As the lackeys and Grogar made their way up the mountain, they were met with a strange sight. A group of Pokémon that were guarding the area, that being a pack of Ursaring.

The lackeys and Grogar would stop in their tracks as they saw the Ursarings. The lackeys would ready their Pokemon to battle if necessary.

The Ursaring were a pack of large, brown, bipedal bears with long black claws, white circles around their eyes and a ring marking on their bellies. The Ursaring pack had a leader that was larger than the others and was more fierce-looking. The leader had a large scar on its right eye, and its fur was a bit more ruffled than the other Ursaring.

The Ursaring pack would look at the intruders with hostility, growling and readying themselves for combat.

"We don't have time for this. Use the Pokeballs I gave you and defeat them!" Grogar spoke. One lackey stepped up. He was the first of the two. "Yes, Sir! Go, Mawile!" He would bring out a Mawile.

"Mawile!"

"Use Crunch!" The lackey commanded.

"Wile!" Mawile would use Iron Head, its maw becoming shiny with energy. It would go for the Alpha Ursaring, headbutting the Pokemon.

The Ursaring pack were strong as they were fast. They were a pack of tough Pokémon that had been trained by the local wild Pokémon to defend their territory from outsiders. The leader would block Mawile's next Iron Head attack and would send Mawile back with its claws, causing it to get hurt.

"M-Maw!"

The other lackey decided that it was time to join in. He would pull out his pokeball and would send out a Druddigon. "Go! Use Dragon Tail!"

"Druddigon!" Druddigon roared, his tail glowing and ready to be whipped at the Ursaring.

The Ursaring pack were a little surprised by this and the Druddigon would charge at the Alpha Ursaring with a Dragon Tail attack. It would knock it back, causing it to fall to the ground and become dizzy. The other Ursaring would then get up and attack the Druddigon.

"Druddigon, use Dragon Tail!" The Druddigon would attack the Alpha Ursaring with another Dragon Tail attack, knocking him back. This would make him even more dizzier.

"Mawile, use Crunch again!" The other lackey spoke. Mawile nodded, going to try and chomp onto the Ursarings and push them away.

The rest of the Ursaring were starting to weaken. The attacks from the Pokemon of the Lackeys were taking their toll on the pack. They would start to slow down a little bit. The Druddigon would then charge at the Ursaring with another Dragon Tail, sending them flying. Then, the Mawile would use Iron Head and send the last remaining Ursarings into a nearby rock wall, knocking them out. The Alpha would remain, roaring at the Mawile. It was now weakened but would continue to fight on.

"Advance. Get through the last one and keep going." Professor Grogar ordered.

"Yes, Sir." The first Lackey responded, turning his attention to his Mawile. "Alright, use Iron Head once again!"

"Maw!" Mawile nodded and would rush forward, using the move. And straight to the head, Ursaring was struck, taking maximum damage from that hit and finally being knocked out.

"Ursa..."

Once the Ursarings were out of the way, Grogar and his small group could continue on their mission, heading further into the mountain.


Eventually, the group would make their way to the peak. As the group made their way to the top, they were surprised to find a beautiful temple-like building. It had an ornate facade and was built from white marble. It was decorated with golden ornaments, and had large pillars supporting a roof. There was also a small garden outside of the building, filled with plants and flowers that were not native to Equestria.

"What is this?" One of the lackeys asked, confused as to why such a structure existed in such a remote place.

"Hm. If I were to compare it to someplace from Unilight that I know of..." The Professor was thinking of something, before speaking. "...Ah yes. The Hall of Nova Legends." He remembered the name. This building looked a lot like it. What did that mean? Could it be a copy or was there something more to this?

The Hall of Legends is a very ancient and important structure in the kingdom of the Uniightx. It is the most sacred of all buildings and is the place where the souls of the greatest heroes of the Unilight Empire are held. The building is a huge temple, with many chambers, rooms, and hallways. The building is filled with the spirits of the past, and is a very peaceful and serene place. It's not somewhere you can enter without a proper invitation, so the fact that this group would come across something that resembled it was very intriguing.

"I see now." He finally figured it out. "This is another example of things from my universe returning. How fitting...that it would be connected to my main counterpart."

"is that coincidence, Professor?" One student asked.

"Not at all. Existence works in mysterious ways, you lot. Everything from the main universe has a counterpart and no matter what, both the incarnation, reincarnation or even the counterparts will eventually meet each other in some way. As such, anything concerning my counterpart is bound to appear or reach somewhere around him."

"S-So...does that apply to us?" One of the students had a smile widen on her face.

"I doubt it. You'd have to be crucial for that to be posssible." Grogar shut it down quickly, much to her disappointment. She groaned and rolled her eyes.

"A-Anyhow, we should probably search around." One of the boys spoke up, trying to break the awkward tension that came. So the four would begin their trek to the top. They had to make it to the door. Eventually, they would reach the summit. The summit of Mount Evertop is the highest point on the mountain. It is a flat surface, and is covered in a thin layer of snow and ice, which makes it difficult to traverse. There are no signs of life or civilization on the summit.

The group would stand in awe at the view, looking upon a grandiose sight. A temple that had an air of mystery, yet at the same time seemed welcoming. The temple itself had an air of tranquility, yet the interior was full of wonder. It had an ethereal feel to it that could not be described. It was a place of peace, and one of the few places that the group had ever seen that had an air of beauty. However, they couldn't gawk forever, not when the reason of coming to the temple in the first place had to do with their goal.

"So...this is our stop, huh?" One of the girls said, still in awe at the architecture of the place.

"Indeed. Now, I would assume that my counterpart is somewhere in there. But let's not jump the gun." Professor Grogr replied, his body levitating and following the students. They approached the temple, walking inside to see a hallway. At the end was an open space. They went towards it and entered, looking at a pedestal that was empty.

"Hmm? Is that a-"

"No. That's not a Pokeball." The boy was cut off, being answered by his Professor, knowing exactly what he would say. The professor would float closer, examining the area, trying to see if he could figure out a way to activate the pedestal, assuming that there was some kind of way to access whatever was within the Temple. "Hmmm...there's a lock." The pedestal had a circular indent, and in the indent were lines, indicating a lock of some kind was needed to open the pedestal.

But how were they supposed to get in, then?

As they pondered, suddenly a bright light flashed in front of them, blinding them momentarily, before subsiding and leaving an object on the ground. Picking it up, it revealed that it was a key. An ancient-looking one. In addition, the Key was in the shape of a Poke Ball. The key is made of a black, translucent, and smooth material. On its top, it has a white button that, when pushed, opens the bottom half, and releases a bright light, unlocking a certain door. The light is in the form of a ghostly hand, which grabs the ball, pulls it away, and vanishes in a flash of blue flames.

"I know my counterpart is very much like me, no doubt. And his backup plan would probably involve ensuring that his body was sealead away. So, the only question left is..." Where is the entrance?

They continued exploring, and soon, they would spot something peculiar. It was a doorway that was sealed. Upon the seal was a slot that would fit the exact size of the Poke Ball. Without hesistation, they inserted it in, watching as the entire room began to shake, and the wall behind the podium crumbled to reveal a hidden passage.

"Perfect. Now then, follow close, all of you. No hesitation." The professor would command the other three to enter the temple. They did so, following the path, until reaching a large, dimly-lit chamber. As they entered the chamber, the doors behind them closed and locked.

The room was circular, with no furniture or decoration of any kind, except for a single pillar in the center of the room, a clear tube atop it and what was in it. Within the tube was a certain item. Something that would be useful to the team, and the professor in particular.

"Ah, I see...Due to the merging of both worlds and the eventual restoration of many areas from my universe, this counts towards items. This item has been mixed up, but it'll be ours, no problem." Grogar spoke. The item was in the shape of a vase, and the vessel is made of an unknown, dark grey material that looks almost metallic, and has golden outlines of the three Horns and a star. It has two handles on either side, and is topped with a disc shaped lid with an imprint of Ram's head.

"Ah, yes. Much like the one used to have.The Soul Dew." It was the Soul Dew, a powerful relic that Grogar once held and the perfect thing to have in order to restore the Professor's body.

"We're going to need to break the tube, but we'll have to take caution." He would turn his attention to the others, pointing at the Soul Dew. "You mustn't let the Soul Dew slip from your grasp. We'll need it in order to fulfill our goals."

"Yeah, if you can get to it." Suddenly, a voice spoke out as someone would descend from above. The students all looked up as a gateway opened up above them. And dropping from it was none other than Spitfire and her Wonderbolts, all of whom would surround the four.

This was a part of Celestia's blindside. It wasn't just limited to Pegalysium, Magehold and the Windigos. The students looked all around them, witnessing the Wonderbolts on every side. Joined up with them was Rainbow Dash, who stuck by her fellow Wonderbolts and showed up here for assistance.

"A trap? How else would you have known we were coming here, otherwise?"

"Yeah. Obviously. Your side's not the only one that can tell and see when trouble's coming." Spitfire spoke, smrking at them.

"Hmmrrh..." Professor Grogar had a low growl.

"Alright. So do we grab the vase and get out of here or beat them instead?" Soarin' asked.

"Both. We do both." Spitfire confirmed. "But don't worry, they're just a bunch of nerds. Nerds and the disembodied goat guy."

"Right! Yeah, let's do it guys! For the Wonderbolts and everything they stand for!" Fleetfoot pumped herself up, and so would everyone else.

Grogar would sigh, and give a telepathic signal to his subordinates to step forward. His three students would comply and walk forward. pulling out their pokeballs. "So be it, then. I'm getting that item and more importantly... gaining the body I so rightfully deserve!"

"W-We're at a bit of a disadvantage here, sir." One of the students gulped. Even the best of their team would struggle. This was not the numbers to go in to fight the Wonderbolts and come out victorius. Even with their strongest fighters, they could not compete with the Wonderbolts. They'd lose badly.

"Which is exactly why we'll fight strategically." Grogar's growled as his mind was working at fast speeds to formulate a strategy that would allow them to gain an upper hand, at least long enough to snatch the Soul Dew.

"Swarm 'em! Make sure you overwhelm all of them!" Spitfire ordered as everyone would throw their Poke Balls forward. The Poke Balls all spiralled through the air, ready to unleash their respective Pokemon. From it, Soarin's Torkoal, Rainbow Dash's Mienshao and Spitfire's Froslass would appear among many other Pokemon.

"I may be disembodied...I may lack a body, but do not be fooled you foolish Equestrians." Grogar spoke. "I am always prepared. Even at my weakest!" Suddenly, from the device he was within, a powerful magical pressure was starting to manifest from it.

The Wonderbolts and Pokemon all felt it, clenching their teeth or whatever body part they had to keep their composure. But it didn't stop, in fact it only increased and the power would rise. Until the top of the ceiling broke and from the rubble, several creatures appeared.

These beings were being manifested by the Professo's own magic.. In his own magic. Each of the six creatures was unique in appearance and abilities. The leader, a massive creature with four arms, a giant tail, and a mask. Another, a skeletal dragon with large wings, horns and a spiked tail. A third was an enormous, floating eyeball surrounded by a dozen tentacles, and a fourth was a gigantic wormlike monster. There were two smaller, humanoid figures. One had a bear-like body and wore a black robe, while the other was dressed in armor. All had glowing, red eyes and were capable of flight, levitation or simply hovered in mid-air without moving.

"Do not think you will steamroll over me, the lot of you. In Unilight, I was the Master of Many Magics, easily the best of my calbire. Only Queen Twilight Luminaria was my superior. Get those fools." Was the simple order from the professor, his army of beasts all letting loose a mighty and deafening roar, charging forward to battle the Wonderbolts.


Magehold.

As a battle was about to break out in there, the battle happening at Magehold continued, with the vampires doing their best against the Arcane Institute's students and their Pokemon. The vampires had their own Pokemon as well, courtesy of Fantina teaching them all the ropes.

Gardevoir would unleash a Dazzling Gleam at some vampires, using their weakness to light to her advantage. The rays of light, just by getting near them would cause the vampire ponies to screech in pain and be knocked backwards.

However, Fantina also helped them all greatly in another factor. Since she was the Lich Queen, well, temporarily, she managed to deal with the vampire's weakness to light. Those that were nocked backwards would get back up, their wounds and burn marks would start healing, surrounded by a mystical magic.

"I-it actually worked!" One vampire gasped.

"Queen Fantina's newfound magic really does heal us. Even our weakness to light isn't a problem anymore. Thank goodness." A vampire pony smiled, wiping a few beads of sweat from his forehead. With that in mind, their confidence rose and they were able to charge forward and not fear anything, even the elements that were normally a weakness.

They unleashed their respective curses that did strange and terrifyiing things. Eccentric was an excellent example of that. Her ability to reverse the effects and meaning of certain things would kick in. She would narrow her eyes and stick her tongue out, focusing on an oppossing Pokemon. Specifically a Claydol.

"It'd be super funny...if you were to become a little doll. Super small, like a tiny thing." She chuckled. Raising a hoof and spread her vampiric wings, her powers would take into affect as the Pokemon's size would shrink, and its clay-like skin would become a more solid texture, almost plastic in a sense. The Pokemon that was a 4 foot and 7 inches would decrease to 8 inches tall, making it very small. The effect was sudden and instant, shocking the trainers and the Pokemon themselves. "Gotcha!"

"What did that kid just do?!" Someone asked, the trainer of the now-shrunken pokemon. He'd run over to see that his Pokemon was not in a dazed state. Not unconscious, just unable to attack and was confused, trying to process what was happening. The man picked it up, holding the shrunken Claydoll, realizing how light it was. "It's like a toy now! How-"

"C-Clay!"

"Next!" Eccentrick turned her attention to more Pokemon, this time focusing on a small group. She was about to change the qualities of these Pokemon as well, her eyes sparkling in delight.

Then she had them in their sights, she reversed a Tyrantar's Stone Edge into pebbles,. She did this to the whole team of Pokemon, reversing their attacks to make them boost their defenses rather than their attacks, and the Pokemon, being confused and unsure, were not aware of their mistake and kept repeating it.

One tried to attack the enemy Pokemon with a Flamethrower, and would have their own body set alight. Another would attempt a Hydro Pump, but would instead begin sucking water in from the surrounding air.

And finally, the third Pokémon, a Grass-type, attempted a Leaf Blade, which instead of slicing through their opponent's defences like butter, and dealt no damage whatsoever to the other side of the field. The opposing team looked on in horror, seeing that the other team had literally been disabled in a single stroke, and their opponents were laughing, pointing at the fallen Pokemon in mockery.

"Hehe~" Eccentrick smiled, laughing like the trickster she was.

"Why you...!" One of the students angrily snarled at the vampire pony.

"Stand back." A Beta would step forward. Specifically, the first-ever Beta created. She decided to deal with this trickster, holding her hand out. Eccentrick noticed this, swivelling her head and her grin would falter. That beta in particular gave her a bad feeling.

"Think fast!"She tried reversing whatever she could on Beta, specifically targeting her eyes. Eccentrick wasn't afraid to try horrifying things. She was a vampire after all and horror was the style of this place.

However, the woman was not phased and suddenly her eyes would glow a bright white. "Silly vampire. You're a good trickster, I'll give you that, and a great one for sure. However, there is one fatal flaw in that plan." Suddenly, an aura would form around the Beta, a purple energy that slowly built. "I'm a soul, and not a real person. Sure I have a physical body and everything. I can be considered a human in terms of my anatomy and biology, but not really. At least, not yet."

Eccentrick would have an expression that screamed "A soul?!" As a powerful burst of energy was building up. "W-What's that mean?" She nervously laughed.

"It means...I'm immune." With a quick snap, her hands would move in a flash and her psychic energy would launch forth, a massive and potent wave of psionic energy that struck the vampire and her allies in a 30-foot radius. Eccentrick was hit hard by that blast of energy, and was blown away. The other vampires nearby were knocked down or thrown back. It wasn't a direct hit, so none of their injuries were serious, though Eccentrick would fall to the ground, groaning and grumbling as she got to her hooves.

That blast of Psychic Power was intense and would've caused the entire area to shake, causing a minor quake. This would not be a mere push of energy. She was pushing her power outward in all directions, creating a force that could rip through flesh, bone and rock. She'd use her powers to their fullest extent and even further beyond, exerting herself far beyond her normal limits and limits in general, breaking any barrier and unleashing the full extent of her power.

This would result in a devastating shockwave of force, sending the Vampire and the other students and Pokemon flying back. "Gh!" Dimstar would grit her teeth, using her tendrils to dig into the ground, staying in place. She wouldn't even be touched. Using her Lich Magic, she summoned a protective wall of bones that kept the both of them from harm.

"Gardevoir! Dazzling Gleam! Burn them all!" With many of the vampires being pushed back, Alpha's Gardevoir would take advantage of this.

"Garde...!" Gardevoir raised her arms, charging up a powerful ball of light. She was going to make sure that this Dazzling Gleam would be the brightest it could possibly be, hopefully bypassing Fantina's magic. It would continue to build up until it became a massive sphere that threatened to blast everything in sight. The Gardevoir then aimed the sphere and shot a beam of pure energy towards her foes.

"I refuse to let you harm any of them!" Dimstar objected, her eyes sharpening. As the daughter of the Lich King and soon to be the future Lich Queen, thanks to Fantina putting her trust in her, she would not allow this attack to land.

She would manifest her own sphere. One of pure Darkness, the opposite to what the Dazzling Gleam would aim to produce, aiming to engulf the beam in a veil of shadows. Both sides were now clashing with their spells, the area would feel the sheer might and intensity of both of their magics. However, neither would let up, continuing to unleash more and more energy into their attacks. Both were struggling, their faces scrunching in determination and their muscles tensing, exerting a tremendous amount of effort in this clash, the struggle would go on and on.

"Princess Kimia! I recognize that face anywhere! From each of these clones, If you can hear me, snap out of it already!" Dimia cried out, attempting to speak to her fellow Princess. But Alpha and the many Betas and Zetas were beyond that now. Especially Alpha, who had her mind reworked and rebuilt from the ground up to ensure she did not go rogue and that she would not remember her life before. They would not stop, no matter how many times their enemies tried to reason with them, or begged, or plead, or pleaded with their hearts and souls.

"It's no good." Fractured Note shook his head. "We cannot reach her that way."

"Then...we'll do it in my preferred way. Now, Toxicroak!"

"Toxi!" From above, while this clash was happening, Dimstar's Toxicroak took the opportunity to land a surprise attack. Alpha gasped, looking up. The other students would do the same but it was too late. Thanks to the magic of Magehold, Toxicroak was perfectly concealed in darkness, landing a sneak attack at the right moment.

And that sneak attack was a Poison Jab that would strike Alpha right in her chest. A direct hit. "!" Alpha's eyes widened. The attack had gone through. Toxicroak struck with enough force to pierce through the Soul Clone, much to the shock of everyone from the Institue.

A hole was blown in Alpha, greatly damaging this clone of Kimia to the core.

As the journey continues.
