The heavens crackled with the combined energies of two furious mages duking it out far below, their clashing magical power swirling together and disturbing the very balance of the natural forces commanding reality.
Vibrantly pulsing purples and brilliantly strobing pinks filled the sky for miles. Arcane lightning smashed into the ground with enough force to vaporize stone and blast vast craters that would, hours later, still glow white hot with unnatural heat. Clouds of exotic particles unknown and unnamed by scholars whirled like hurricane gales while the very air sizzled from their mere existence.
It was an apocalyptic sight. Armageddon brought to Equestria.
The war lacked anything resembling subtlety. It was devoid of mercy. It went on for hours.
Enormous boulders came heaving up from the ground, each one as big as a house, and flew towards Starlight at speeds that would've made a cannon ball blush. Starlight's hooves clattered and clopped across the soaring chunks of earth as she sprinted from one to the other, leaping from boulder to boulder as effortless in her strides as if they were taken over skipping stones crossing a river rather than over supersonic hunks of dislocated earth. Each rocky giant quaked as she landed, her magical aura leaving smoldering patches in the dislodged heaps of mountainous stone.
Finally, when the rocks stopped coming, she leapt down, rushing towards the ground miles below. She hastily, expertly cast a weight hex upon herself, turning herself into a pony-shaped piece of ultra dense material. In the same moment, she snagged one of the retreating boulders in her telekinetic grasp, slung it forward, and used herself as a pivot point to launch the many tons of rock back at the speck throwing them.
Twilight hardly paid the thrown boulder any mind as it came at her, almost absentmindedly swatting it away with a flap of her empowered wings. The hunk of earth disappeared over the horizon and caused a localized fire storm where it landed, flattening an already dead and charred forest into two-dimensional kindling.
Following that little home run, Twilight slammed all her magical might into unbridled acceleration, one hoof outstretched, her trajectory guaranteeing she'd directly impact Starlight's face.
Returning her weight to somethingg other than that of a city block Starlight screamed and hurled the equivalent of an atomic bomb from the tip of her horn at the tiny speck racing towards her, the atmosphere tearing apart as the blast detonated miles away. She felt the searing hot backwash cascade over her, whipping her mane and tail rearward in the howling wind. Far off, the speck broke through the multi-megaton explosion like a bullet through tissue paper, sparking from head to hindquarters in magical shielding.
Twilight snarled as her wings, fortified and strengthened through high level enchantments, cut through Starlight's latest attack as easily as a knife through butter. The heat would've obliterated her, reduced her to mere atoms, if she hadn't had her protection spell up. But, she did, and not only that, the nuclear blast served to enhance her speed as she came out the far side of the scorching, neon blue mushroom cloud. She shot like a blazing comet straight towards Starlight, the tip of her shield sharpened into a lethal lance of raw energy that could puncture nigh anything.
Starlight saw the attack coming and opted to stand her ground, much to Twilight's surprise.
An unstoppable force struck an immovable object.
Starlight's own shield was something of a mirror, more so catching and rebounding Twilight's missile-like charge rather than taking the blow. It was the magical equivalent of metallic glass.
It still sent Starlight reeling.
A new geographical feature was carved into the rocky earth as Starlight went skidding backwards, all four hooves still on the ground, ground that was turning to dust and ash and cinders as she slid along. The trench her body made could be seen from space, a scar upon the planet's surface, a gouge upon the celestial body's skin alongside the hundreds of lightning strike zones.
It hurt. A little.
Twilight, meanwhile, was tumbling through the seething air like a fresh ricochet, the wind screaming in her ears as she tried to stop herself from zooming off into the stars above. The only thing keeping her from freezing over as she tumbled beyond the upper stratosphere was the scolding remnant heat from the magical energy leftover from Starlight's reflection barrier. Her stomach churned as she fought for control, eventually managing to clear enough unstable mana from around her to safely cast a teleportation spell.
Starlight recovered not long after, and the two met once more down on their blasted heath of a battlefield.
Twilight reappeared, and with her came a sucking, all-consuming void of magically held-together vacuum. She brought space with her.
Starlight yelped as she was heaved forward as if grabbed by a black hole, suddenly toppling through the air much like Twilight had a mere moment ago. A reversed hailstorm of detritus came up from all across the newly born wasteland and rocketed alongside her, whipping upwards rather than down as it was swallowed by the insatiable dark gulf. The malicious, wailing sphere Twilight was situated within looked to be about a mile in diameter, a sphere of lightless hate with an eye of fury at its pure black core.
Icy cold swallowed Starlight as she was engulfed by the vacuum, the temperature within very nearly at absolute zero. She could feel her fur freezing over, her bones going frigid, the very meat beneath her skin growing solid.
Twilight grinned as Starlight froze over like an icicle, only for her moment of triumph to be cut short as a miniature sun abruptly erupted in her face.
Soul fire exploded from Starlight's core, her very essence turned into raw energy for a split second. It was all she needed. The vacuum collapsed as Twilight's concentration lapsed with the blast wave, air rushing in to fill the void. As the pressure difference in the surrounding air suddenly, violently equalized, the two ponies were smashed into each other like a pair of freight trains colliding.
Nose to nose, belly to belly, they were bathed in each other's magical aura, two infernos boiling together high up in the sky.
They stared into each other's eyes, their hot, steamy breath coming out as magically charged clouds of pure, manifested wrath. They were more magic than mare at that moment.
It was the hottest thing either of them had ever experienced.
The kiss was, quite honestly, inevitable.
They plummeted to earth in a ream of violet an and magenta flame, twirling and dancing to the destruction they'd wrought like a falling star. Their passion furthered their already out of control spells, supercharging them into something otherworldly. They hit the ground with an impact not unlike a moon colliding with the planet, immediately annihilating everything within ten miles. Bedrock met them with a thump, the force enough to powder bones and turn flesh to paste. They barely felt it wrapped up in their conjoined cocoon of protective magic, hardly even registered the fact that they were no longer up in the heavens. All that mattered in that moment was the feel of their mingling mouths and slippery tongues.
At the bottom of the crater, which would later become a blessed lake that brought undying lust to any who bathed in it, Starlight and Twilight made love. Their souls swirled into one, their minds melded, their bodies tangled. Sweat poured and moans echoed.
Much like the epic destruction they'd both caused, their bodily union went on for hours.
"Okay," Starlight finally spoke, her mane messy and her voice hoarse. "You can have the last slice of pizza."
"Goodie!" Twilight giggled, one hoof idly straightening out her own bedraggled mop of hair.

I just wanted to write some schlocky action bullshit.
