Eclipsed Truth

Title: Eclipsed Truth
Chapter 86: The Final Battle Against Majio (Part 3)

Majio’s Ultimate Transformation

The explosion of white light from the Staff of Eternal Winter consumed the entire throne room, forcing Eclipse to shield her eyes as a massive pulse of raw winter magic erupted outward.

When the blinding glow finally faded, Eclipse’s breath hitched.

Majio was changing.

The broken remains of the Staff of Eternal Winter melted into his very body, his form warping, shifting. His once sleek and regal appearance was now monstrous—his horns twisted into jagged spires of ice, his eyes glowing with unfathomable power, and his wings now layered with living frost, constantly shifting like a never-ending storm.

The ground beneath him froze solid, radiating pure, raw, unstable power.

He looked down at himself, his voice now a distorted echo of countless voices layered as one.

“I… am… eternal.”

Then, with a mere wave of his hoof, an explosion of absolute zero frost surged outward.

Twilight and Vinyl barely had time to react before the ice consumed them, their bodies locked in frozen stasis—their eyes wide in shock as they were encased mid-action.

Eclipse’s pupils shrunk in horror as she saw her wife and closest friend frozen before her eyes.

Majio tilted his head, amused. “You thought you could defeat me? You are nothing but a fleeting ember in an endless blizzard.”

Then, he turned his gaze upon Eclipse.

“And now… you will join them.”

Eclipse vs. Majio—A Battle She Cannot Win

Eclipse charged forward, her frost-forged power clashing with Majio’s absolute winter magic. The entire fortress shook as the two titans of ice and snow battled at full force.

Majio was beyond powerful now. Every attack Eclipse threw at him, he countered with twice the force.

Her Wendigo magic? He absorbed it.

Her ice constructs? He shattered them effortlessly.

He was the embodiment of true winter, and she was barely holding on.

A devastating blast of pure winter energy struck Eclipse square in the chest, sending her crashing into the frozen pillars, shattering them on impact.

Pain wracked her body as she struggled to stand.

Her hooves trembled.

Her breath was ragged.

She was losing.

Majio stalked toward her, his presence alone causing the room to crack under the weight of his unstable power.

“You cannot stop the inevitable.” His voice was calm, absolute.

Eclipse coughed, struggling to push herself up, her vision blurring.

She couldn’t do this.

She wasn’t strong enough.

Her mind raced, desperate for a way out.

Then, she realized something.

Majio’s body… it was unstable.

The power of the staff had fused with him, but it wasn’t settling properly. The magic within him was on the verge of tearing itself apart.

That meant one thing.

He was going to explode.

And if she could just stall long enough, he would destroy himself.

But she couldn’t let Twilight and Vinyl be caught in the blast.

Which meant…

She needed help.

Calling for Discord—A Desperate Plea

As Majio prepared one final attack, Eclipse summoned the last of her strength—and screamed with every ounce of her being:

“DISCORD! PLEASE! GET THEM OUT OF HERE!”

The words were raw, desperate, her voice cracking with emotion.

For the first time in her life, Eclipse was begging.

And she hated it.

“I’M SORRY!” she cried. “I’M NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS! I CAN’T WIN! BUT MAJIO’S MAGIC IS UNSTABLE! HE’S GOING TO EXPLODE!”

Tears burned in her eyes. “PLEASE! JUST SAVE THEM!”

For a painful moment, there was nothing.

Then—

A snap.

In an instant, Discord appeared, floating casually in the air—though, for once, his expression was dead serious.

He took one look at Eclipse, then at Majio, and his eyes widened.

“…Well, that’s not good.”

Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers again—and Twilight and Vinyl’s frozen forms vanished, teleported safely back to Canterlot.

Eclipse let out a shaky breath of relief.

But Majio was already on top of her.

“You will NOT escape!” he roared, unleashing an all-consuming blast of freezing death.

Discord’s Choice—Stay or Go?

Discord teleported beside Eclipse, shielding her as the attack slammed into them.

For the first time, Discord winced in pain—actual pain.

Eclipse’s eyes widened. “Discord, get out of here!”

The draconequus gritted his teeth. “Excuse me? And leave you alone to deal with Frostbite McEvil over there? No way.”

Eclipse shoved him away. “I’M SERIOUS! You know how time works! If he explodes with this much magic, it could unravel everything!”

Discord hesitated. “But—”

Eclipse’s eyes hardened. “I’m not asking. GO. NOW.”

For once, Discord obeyed.

With one final look at Eclipse, he snapped his fingers and vanished.

Leaving her alone.

Eclipse vs. Majio—The Final Stand

Eclipse turned back to Majio, her breath heavy, her body aching.

Majio was unstable now, his form cracking, his power reaching its limit.

Eclipse narrowed her eyes.

“…Looks like your ‘eternal winter’ didn’t last long.”

Majio screamed in rage, lunging at her with all his remaining power.

Eclipse braced herself—

And charged forward one last time.

To Be Continued…

Eclipse is stalling for time, knowing Majio’s unstable magic will destroy him.
Twilight and Vinyl have been saved, but will Eclipse survive?
