Chapter 36: Reinforcements Called—Eclipse Unleashed
Chrysalis Sounds the Alarm
Chrysalis burst into the Canterlot throne room, her wings buzzing violently, her breath ragged from flying at full speed.
Celestia, Luna, and Twilight—who had been in a tense meeting about the Order’s recent movements—all immediately turned as Chrysalis landed hard in front of them.
Twilight blinked in shock. “Chrysalis?”
Luna’s eyes narrowed immediately. “Where is Eclipse?”
Chrysalis growled in frustration. “Where do you think?” She stomped forward, her voice sharp and urgent. “She’s already stormed the Order’s main fortress. And Sombra is there.”
A sharp silence fell over the room.
Then—
Celestia’s wings flared wide, her eyes burning with immediate resolve. “Where?”
Chrysalis wasted no time. With a burst of green magic, she conjured an illusionary map of Equestria, pinpointing the exact location of the Order’s hidden fortress.
Twilight’s heart pounded. “She went in alone?”
Chrysalis scowled. “Of course she did. She’s running on nothing but rage and heartbreak.” She turned toward Luna. “She sent me to get you three, but make no mistake—by the time we get there, she might have already frozen half the damn fortress.”
Luna clenched her jaw, her turquoise eyes burning with urgency. “Then we must go. Now.”
Celestia nodded sharply, already activating her long-distance teleportation spell. “We move as one.”
Twilight’s horn flared to life. “We won’t let her face him alone.”
A moment later, the three alicorns and Chrysalis vanished—racing toward Eclipse before it was too late.
Meanwhile—Eclipse vs. Sombra
The fortress trembled under the sheer force of battle.
Eclipse charged forward, her Hell Ice Eclipse surging through the air, freezing everything in her path.
Sombra laughed darkly, summoning massive black crystal spikes from the ground, trying to impale her mid-charge.
But Eclipse was faster.
She kicked off one crystal, flipping through the air, then slammed her hoof into another spike, shattering it to pieces.
The shards exploded outward, but Eclipse didn’t stop moving—
She landed hard, pivoted, and delivered a devastating buck to the next oncoming crystal, completely obliterating it in one strike.
Sombra’s grin faltered—just slightly.
Eclipse’s eyes burned bright, her horn sparking wildly, her body radiating the same primordial energy she had used against Ignis.
“You’re not the first monster I’ve had to put down.” Her voice was venomous, her magic swirling violently.
Sombra’s eyes narrowed, studying her. “Ah… you’re drawing from the same power you used against the phoenix.”
Eclipse scoffed, slamming another crystal spike to dust with a single hoof strike. “I beat Ignis. What makes you think I won’t break you, too?”
Sombra’s dark smirk returned. “Because, little monster…”
His horn crackled with ancient dark magic, and the entire room shuddered.
“…I am not so easily destroyed.”
The Final Clash Approaches
The shadows in the room twisted violently, warping into something far darker, far more ancient.
But Eclipse did not falter.
Because she had one goal.
Find Vinyl. Get her out. Burn this place to the ground.
And if Sombra wanted to stand in her way—
She’d shatter him, too.
