End of Past Universe Flashback: Part 3 of 3 "I am sorry"

Genos fight theme for the scene-

The shockwave and sound of the clash was heard and felt all around the battle field. Shocking those present, and making their focus on the battle increase.

"What?!" they all simply said.

The UCE ignored them after that, and focused on its immediate enemy focusing all dozens, if not hundreds of cement spikes that traced like misils to the warrior.

The warriors eyes shined for a milisecond and after tracing the field with its eyes at high speed at parallell as a volt of lighting fell on the battlefield illuminating the darkness of night, the mist of vapor, and the clouds, a shadow of the warrior was seen, as if it dissapeared from sight, in the blink of an eye clashing full throttle against the beast who barely reacted on time making its shield slimmer, which allowed it to be broken,

Upon contact, even if highly diluted thanks to the shield tanking most of it, the beast was thrown away 20 meters or so, making a dent on the stomach, wich tissue sizzled upon contact leaving "third degree" tier burns but not enough to carbonize yet, making the beast recoil and wine back, releasing accumulated thunder from its maws to the sky.

"Too slow" the beast could bet it heard, directed to him.

The beast got angered and increased the intensity of its attacks and movements, all around the battle field clouds of dust, debris, and ice were visible, while the sounds of clash sounded in the distance, slowly the beast was being covered in holes of burning or searing flesh all over, however the tissue got closed, and "re-made" some, slightly slower each time.

However its not to say, there was no toll on the warrior for be it the accumulated damage the "materials" for the fusion had, or just the level of accumulated tension through a high speed, high power, high heat barrage could have on it. Not to mention, the scale of power needed to let alone pierce the UCE shield, nevermention dodging hundreds of projectiles

This was notable because on one of the flying kicks a small trail of blood flowed through the warriors noise.

after a brief moment of a dozen seconds, the heroines regained their composure. Princess moon, having the better eyesight, and combat experience noticed this.

"Its overheating?... no matter, we need to help!, this thing has to die, quickly!"

all mares present took a small pause, and nodded.

Dawn eyed her companions quickly. "Buck!" she whispered

Abby was knocked out, blood pouring from her Nose. No doubt in overexhertion. Amber was about to bust too, the only one barely able to keep up anymore was her at all, and obviously the princesses.

"I will be back..."

"Dont" declared the princesses.

"What?"

BOOM!" BOOM BOOM!

The battle continued in the background

"You can no longer keep up, let alone fight. You and Serene were here before everyone else , didnt you?" Moon said

"We know, You both held it... "him".... off before it all started. Its, ok. Take care of the others Dawn, they need you." Sol said with Finality.

Dawn, bit her lip and drew blood, her hands white from hard grip, and penetrating skin, while droplets of blood laid in the sand.

"Im sorry, please win, I will be back if I can, I promise." she whispered while trails of tears fell from her face and in a flash of lavander, Her, Abby and Amber were no more.

Both princesses glanced back at the castle, seveal hundred meters away and noticed a lavander light, content with this, they foused on the task at hand.

--------------------------Inside the castle--------------------

POOF THUD

Their bodies floated for a second before clashing with the castle floor, Abundance, knocked out. Amber gasping for breath while her nose, just Like Abby's and Dawn's was flowing trails of blood. And Dawn in a stance between conscioussness and unconscioussness.

"have to..." But she fell to the floor, before she could get up.

"Go, back..." But once again her legs refused, and she crashed to the floor.

"NGG, Fuck..."

Serene, Noticed them and helped them get near the Castle Hospital Beds were Pillows was unoncious and her feet and hand Bones were basically broken, and was being tended to and watched by her.

Serene then helped the unconciouss Abby to her own bed, while Amber, basically dropped to her own, her muscles stiff and almost rigid, of course "pony muscle enhancement magic" was not without side effects, let alone the body tension.

Dawn was alternating between being awake and asleep as the world was spinning for her, the last teleport of the 3 of them, fucked her already fucked body state a peg.

Serene was absolutely floored too but could keep up thanks to her own ability with pain bumbing and whatnot, even if it would be taxing later.

So, she did the same for her friends doing a small field of biomagnetism surrounding all of them, making all pain go away, muscles relax and allowing the bodies to rest.

"...were is Crown... and were is my Sister (remember, she was adopted by Stella's mom)" Serene asked, afraid to know the answer.

Amber being the only one able to answer her at the moment replied: "...We dont know"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Serene said as angry tears fell from her eyes.

"...." Amber tried to articulate but she didnt know what to say. Her mouth opened and closed, nothing being said.

"Say, something!" she demanded

Boom....Bam....Boom echoes of the battle could be heard even if faint even here.

"I dont know!" Amber

"what?!"

"I dont Know Whis!(Serene whisper), they were half dead!, I saw how Stella had only one wing!, Crown was Lacerated all over!, and then... and then I dont know... they....they....they fused or something?! and they.... that ...he...it?... is still going agains that...thing."

"huh? what you... and thing?" Serene was not able to comprehend

"If..if they are dead, just tell me so!" Serene was crying

"they arent, Amber is telling the truth and the THING is what roared at the time, you heard it too. Its monstruous, powerful, viscious" Dawn whispered slowly getting a hang of herself.

Serene Looked at the window were Ligthning shining in the dark, bubble of debris, crashes and destruction could be seen even from her position.

"...." Serene got quiet, and if her counterpart fluttershy got posession of her body, she only dared whisper now.

"...will we win?"

"...maybe" Amber and Dawn said in duo.

"...I see"

"Whis... are you-" Dawn who was slowly but surely getting a little bit better by the second.

Serene didnt say anything. She just cried in Silence and Looked at her with a sad Smile.

Dawn understood. She needed to get better as soon as posible.

------------------------------------Back on the battle field-----------------

After the last clash, being pushed once again the creature took a quick "breath" for it didnt seem to need oxigen all that much.... as The warrior landed leaving a trail before stopping at the two sisters.

"..."

"...Crown?" Said Moon

"...Stella?" Said Sol

But the warrior did not answer, be it because it was neither or It didnt understand them was irrelevant.

"...You mentioned a gap?" said Sol the warriors ears, shot up.

"...what if we make you one instead?" Moon said thinking of who would have an easier chance actually burning the fucker to a crisp Sol? or it?.... it was obvious as of now. The warrior Looked at the creature and then at the sisters and if understanding what they said nodded its head slowly.

"...ok...Just... dont try another suicide attack..." said Moon warned, this made the warrior's eyes widen as if an "eureka" came to its head

"Victory, protect, Burn, Suicide attack" the warrior's mind echoed again and again.

The combined (Still not acclimated to this state of being) Consciousnesses of Stella and Crown thought of something.... remembering instantaneusly the kamikaze attack back then of the pegasus army... for some reason made it thought of a Meteor...fire... speed... damage....The warrior grinned.

"Oh no... you don-" Sol caught on it. But before she could say anything else, The warrior burst flying upwards at high speed. Making the UCE To open its masive wings and with a powerful Flaps be propeled several hundred meters in one go, and flying upwards at a speed of aproximately 200-250 kilometers an hour, or so (Remember the strength and size of wings can affect greatly fly speed, stronger and bigger wings can traduce to= higher speed in mid air)

However it was not enough to keep up at the progresively accelerating warrior, who was accelerating more and more, but then the Sisters kept up barely and Moon with her Gravity Magic make it more heavy and slowly but surely progesively decreased it speed while they traced behid it.

The creature not giving up.

(For the UCE)

-240 km/hour -

The Creature felt a tug at its body and groaned

-230 km/-

The creature felt a strain but not significant

-200 km hour-

The creature was feeling it now

-140 km hour-

the creature roared in strain

-100 kilometers an hour-

The creature started to be pulled down more and more, but then stopped its focus on going up and foused instead of remaining floating in air Roaring at the princesses now several hundred meters in the sky with him. Clouds all they could see.

Moon was doing all she could to restrain and put pressure on the beast while Sol was focusing her magic, instead on the cumulo nimbus all around them, and directing thunders to the creature who tanked the shots, but groaned and the shield cracked muttiple times. Sol focusing more on DPS or well, multiple damage points instead of one magnum attack.

Both sisters were straining themselves. But doing their best to contain and give time to the warrior.

All meanwhile the creature's head tried to bite them, its "Claws" trying to crab at them and the massive gust of winds thanks to its wings making it harder for them to keep up on air or avoid properly.

All while the creature itself charged and threw thunder beams, that they mannage to dodge.

Turns out, when you take the ground of the table, hundreds of projectiles stop being a weapon on the repertory of the beast obviously and makes dodging easier... even if still hard while on air on this conditions. But they could hold here for a little bit.

"I swear that Idiot son of mine!" Sol dodged the creature's maw barely

"I blame Stella for this!" Moon barely dodged the creature's tail and Maw. The creature knew that while Sol was damage based, Moon was "control" based, and it was annoying very much so.

"What could it Even-!" But then Moon, being the obvious "mistress" of gravity realized, and her eyes widened.

-Music for the scene Silvery wings, Accel world-

meanwhile For the warrior the speed went up, and up, and up and up it went, as well as his body towards the skies as at some point a "boom" sound echoed arround it, as a blast of air and colour shoot around its body, wich was being propelled by its propulsors and wings, as it surpassed the sound barrier, of 343 meters, which (as some of you may or not know, is dependant on heat, as in the higher the heat of the soundwave being charged with it can travel faster) eventually reaching a speed of 420 meters/second as a rainbow blur got nearer and nearer the Karman line ( This line is considered the boundary between the outer space and Earth’s atmosphere, at aporx 100 kilometers from earth).

Metacomentary: "OH SNAP, THE FUSION DID AH SONIC RAINBOOM/RAINPLOSION UPWARDS!?, Asked "our" Rainbow" in the nonflashback reality

Metacomentary: "YES, NOW LET ME FINISH!" answered Stella

And after a minute or two It reached the atmosphere its body getting progresively colder before reaching it and for a couple of seconds remaining in place almost frozen, specially bad for a "dragon-hybrid" fusion. But apparently enough heat was produced by Stella's side of the fusion with her Voltage control and "unfroze" the warriors body jumpstarting it.

Which then Looked at the earth and With new Propulsed vector Dived Deep to the eath, gaining speed, heat, momentum and power as a...Meteorite would, this propulsed by gravity, the weight, size and mass. Becoming a deadly weapon but highly self lethal. Even if "Dragon" right now it was not going to go unscathed.

Even with dragon scales the heat was getting ridiculus, feelign an otherwise inflamabble body get first decree burns in some parts of the body and high heat on others. Redirecting all remaning magic/strength to make its all body stronger, making thiccer and thiccer scales, hardening tissue, and making a better heat insulation overall, brazing for impact.

As a Rainbow fired dot, was falling quicker and quicker from the Sky, not yet visible, the Princesses were gasping and barely holding on, the creature exhausted too and slowly recovering the wounds made from the warrior, albeit slowed a peg thanks to Moon and Sol keeping it in place and striking back, meanwhile Moon kept trying to speak through the Radio to the girls.

"Cover!, take cover!, braze for impact!, do you hear me!? She screamed.

"Mumu!" screamed Sol, Moon barely dodging the creature's maw as the radio fell off her hand to the void.

Moon was about to curse until she heard a faint scream at the falling radio: "LOUD AND CLEAR!"

Moon then nodded, and quickly did a "Gravity field" to feel any disturbance hundreds of meters up. Like a spider would feel a insect movement on it web basically.

Until....

"SOL!, NOW!" Sol then pulled a big amount of effort and enegry in a series of thunder barrage that the creature did a effort to contain, while the shield cracked and cracked. Then both sisters, flew as fast as they could away from the creature who was recovering, but before the shield could start mending itself. A cometh of rainbow fire collided with the shield turning it to shreds as the Dragon-Mare projectile turned meteor collided with its target. Causing a massive shockwave and heat.

Meaning a 2 diameter sized (human sized or in this case dragon humanid sized) meteorite falling as a gravity and heat weapon (according to AI, calculus. Yes I asked an Ai to calculate this lol) that would create a an energy release equivalent to around 400-800 kilotons of TNT energy reaching temperatures of up to 3000 celcious, incinerating everything in a radius of a few hundred meters of the impact Site.

Something thankfully the princess barely escaped on time the shocwave barely grasping them making them fall against a rock at high speed. The heat was a worry mainly for Moon since Sol being the "sun alicorn" could handle extreme heat. but the shockwave and blast, not so much.

As for the Girls they were in the castle a good 200 meters away or so but still got part of the shocwave wich risked the castle crumbling forcing, Dawn and Amber to use all remaining strength creating an energy and Rock wall to protect them from all the falling debris and heat, while the ground tremors slowed down.

If they were not there....who nows what would have happened. So they got by a thread of that with a final effort pulling the debri away from the medical room after the dust settled.

When the girls who were not unconcsious and the worn down Princesses could see. An aproximately 140 meter radius sized crater that was at least 18 meters deep could bee seen. All around that area looked incincerated or carbonized in the case of left over trees or organic matter.

And in the middle of it was the remains of a mostly carbonized UCE, with at least 80% of its body either incinerated or carbonized, its leftover tissue combulsing or trying to reform but failling, for most its matter was unusable now, so still a combulsing blob it tried to take another form as agonizing crunches and wet slops could be heard.

Meanwhile a dozen meters from it were 2 bodies. One of a pegasus with second decree burns in her leg, wing (the other was cut off, remember this) and arm, fractured bones and unconsciouss. As for The dragon next to her. Its Leg was broken, lacerated all over and with first decree burns in its torso, arms, and legs. with a couple of fractured bones in his abdomen and arms.

-Final scene of the episode music: Elfen Lied opening-

The UCE most of its body was toast...but its nucleus was not entirely gone.... refusing to be defeated even if at the doors of gehena at this highly weakened and usntable state as if a living soup the now way smaller blob started bubbling and eyes and tentacles started popping up of it, Locking eyes with Crown's and Stella's bodies and frowned with malice.

Sol seemed to Notice this and her body mangled, tired and exhausted did the only thing it could, reacting on instinct teleported back to him forming a shield before not a second a couple dozen of hardened tentacles that hardened and were basically liquid hard spears collided with her shield that was cracking more and more by the second, as more and more tentacles were being shot her way, Moon quickly getting up to help her sister. Which like her was at her limit.

Sol knowing she would likely not reach in time in a split second descicion, did the only thing she could at the time, she used a magic impulse throwing Crown and Stella away from her, to her back were Moon and the girls were before one of the tentacles broke the shield and stabbed her in the abdomnen, the tentacle as if liquid got bigger and sharper, cutting her insides.

this because She didnt have the strengtht to both teleport all of them and her while mantinig the shield. not because she lacked the magic but her body could not keep up and a double spell with this level of dexterit, while also covering a strong attack was not posible for her at the moment.

Making everyone Stare in shock. As the drake slowly got consciousness back in his Aunt's arms watched her mother being pierced while blood fell from her nose and stomach keeping the cracking shield up while looking back at him.

"Crown...run, im sorry....I will finish it." as alternate luna took his younger self and flied away to protect him"

(Look back to Episode 2: A window or a mirror) Before Looking back at Moon with a look that spoke volumes, she understood. the creature tried to keep piercing but then Moon, took Crown and the six with her magic with tears and teleported away from the castle to the river near the edges of the city.

As a burst of white flash and heat of thousands of degrees celcious covered a medium perimeter of the now mostly ghost Lancelot. and devoured in it flames,as as high screech was heard of the creature which eventually got quiet and eventually no sound was heard except the flames burning and the cold wind of night, as the snow melted and the frozen river did too.

The clouds died down and even the tornadoes stopped.

All While those awake watched. Burning the image deep into Crown's mind, as tears fell from his eyes.

All he could see were flames... and his own tears.

--------------------------End of flashback, Back to our world-----------------------

"Ever since then, we never found Princess Sol carcass if any was left. We are not sure. From there, Moon was the only left princess active and as such, we all as war hereoes if you will got our own military and political positions, Crown of course did too. We got stronger and kept getting better protecting new equestre. But the day of that loss was never forgotten by anyone" Stella started

"A traumatized Crown Ruled together with a depressed Moon and we became "the Elements of Victory" which spoke of our If you would Official "ranks" in a sense which came with more training, responsabilities, benefits and the such, oh and also I am the Element of Devotion as I said before"

"Anyway, since then, we never saw THAT particular UCE in years again so we hope and think that our effort and Sol's eventual sacrifice did kill it or so we hope. We as elements got assigned parts of equestre to help rule over and protect, with the help of each other, Moon and Crown and we kept things running"

"of course the battle was not over and we all kept protecting and helping New equestre grow strong...tough times we lived...but we didnt gave in and we startted pushing back more and more, or that was until recently and thigns got worse again, Crown and US were facing something monstruous again, I cant really remember what or any details my memory is fuzy, but I remember that something happened and I...rather....we?.... Searched for him?... Its to fuzzy. Anyway, next thing I know I am here"

The mane six were speechless.

Well except Pinkie

"UHU, yes of course meanie but Uhhh You said you lost wing no?, then what is that?" She pointed to Stella's golden wing

"Yeah, makes what is the deal with that, you painted your wing or something? Last I checked I dont have Heterochromatic wings, Explain that!" said Rainbow

"surgery and the wing donation....of a Fallen comrade when THAT UCE attacked, there were some casualities among the Pegasus district, which the Princeses were actually guarding...that was Dawn's "safekeep" " Stella said Visibly depressed.

There was Silence, surgery existed here but were not as advanced as to not let any visible trace the wing was not basically connected to you and usually surgery here had partial functionality of the limb being lost. But then It clicked on Rainbow, golden wing, fallen comrade, surgery, her eyes widen.

"Spitfire's wing..." she whispered

"Spitfire? You mean Spitflame?" asked a confused stella who then said "Oh.... right...., diferent Realities....Different names, yeah Spitfire, probably".

Then there was silence once again.
