Everypony who stood or sat at the damaged parts of the castle gasped at what they just witnessed. An unknown black-red Alicorn stabbed the sun goddess with its’ horn. The look on Celestias’ face wasn’t different from before she got stabbed. She looked like she didn’t even notice the long horn that was penetrating her chest.

She slowly looked down and her eyes and mouth changed to a shocked expression. She couldn’t believe it. Did she really got stabbed outside of a rezz-field? This felt totally different than training. Even if, she died nearly every day in training, this stab didn’t feel the same. Getting killed in training feels painful, but it doesn’t feel like something wants to truly kill her. The stab she just received felt colder and was filled with hate. Hate that wanted nothing more than her death.

She didn’t have any more time to think because she felt an unreal pain in her chest. The red and black Alicorn wasn’t smiling victoriously, no. It still had this wretched hate filled expression on its’ face. Celestia felt how her hooves lost their grip on the floor beneath her as she got lifted into the air by the horn that was in her body. The black Alicorn shook its’ head once, and Celestia got thrown over the edge, away from Canterlot.

It was impossible to fly. Aside from the unreal pain and shock she was in, she also couldn’t straighten her wings, due to her chest-muscles being torn. What scared her the most, was her inability to cast magic. She wanted to at least teleport something safe, but it felt like a force in her wound hindered her in forming mana into a spell. There was nothing she could do.

Looking down, she saw the ground approaching very fast. Closing her eyes and having one tear rolling away from her eyes, out to the falling winds, she made her farewells. Suddenly she felt herself slowing, and then she stopped. She was enveloped in a yellow magical aura. Looking to her right, she saw a falling unicorn beside her, which used his telekinesis to hold the princess up.

While the princess stood still in the air, the unicorn continued to fall, but around 20 meters above the ground, it suddenly used a swap spell and instead of the unicorn falling, was now a purple Pegasus, who was barely able to align his body, so he could outfly the ground. Celestia was still hovering in the air, but slowly descended. She looked down and saw the recently falling unicorn standing safely at the ground.

Just now, she remembered that she still had a gigantic wound in her chest, and when she touched the ground, she slumped down on her haunches. The unicorn instantly ran to her and examined her.

“Status-report, Gold Digger.” Purple Edge said while landing near the princess. Celestia only perceived this barely, due to her being near unconsciousness.

“Several muscles, her stomach, and one of her lungs got penetrated. If the medics don’t hurry, we will lose her.” She explained professionally. The purple Pegasus sighed in relief.

“That’s good because here they come already.” Celestia barely able to change the position of her head, looked to Canterlot and couldn’t trust her eyes anymore. About ten unicorns, eleven Pegasi, and one earth pony were falling/flying down from Canterlot to the ground, each team doing the same maneuver Purple Edge and Gold Digger did before. When did her guards learn this?

The unicorns instantly surrounded Celestia in a circle. Then one of them shot a bolt of pure magic to the next one. This one shot an even bigger bolt to the one next to it, and so on and so on. Celestia realized what they were doing. The first one shot all his magical reserves to the one next to it. Technically, it was possible to harness as much magic as one want, as long as it does not use it.

It’s like pushing extremely much water into a cube, and then closing it. It doesn’t damage as long as you don’t open the cube and let the water out. Using a spell while being overpowered results in an incredibly result for the spell, but also with a massive backlash to the caster. If the last unicorn used a spell with the magic of ten unicorns combined, it would die undeniably.

The last unicorn received the, now huge, magical blast and instantly casted a mass-teleportation spell, being targeted at the hospital in Canterlot. Before the spell was put in effect, Celestia could see that a separate unicorn, had been using a force transfer spell on the unicorn casting the spell and the earth pony.

A force transfer spell, is a spell that can redirect magical exhaustion at a new target, as long as the target opens up their receivers for magic. The magical exhaustion from the overcharged unicorn went to the earth-pony, which used its’ earthly magic to redirect the force into the earth, thus eliminating any negative side effects of the overcharge.

Suddenly, Celestia laid on a bed in a hospital, doctors running all around her. “No worries, your majesty. You will get through this.” One of the doctors said while putting something into Celestias’ leg. After some seconds, she felt incredibly sleepy and lost her consciousness.

Dodging a firebolt, the hate filled Alicorn flew to the side and righted its’ position. Not one second later, a Pegasus with an anti-force-shield applied to his hooves, smashed down at the new position of the Alicorn. The Pegasus couldn’t even reach the Alicorn, due to the horn penetrating his body. The Alicorn anticipated this attack with easy and caught the Pegasus with her outstretched horn, never changing her expression.

It turned around and bucked into the air. Suddenly two massive red energy balls, shot out of the two hooves and slammed into two shields, which were built by a unicorn. The balls exploded with a massive force, sending red lightning everywhere. The barriers couldn’t withhold the force and crumbled under it, killing the two ponies and the unicorn who casted the spell.

Suddenly the Alicorn jumped to the side, a red orb exploding at her old position. Looking up, she saw Ravien. “I don’t know who you are, but such crimes will not be forgiven.” He said with a chivalrous voice. The Alicorn didn’t actually react, except for sending a red beam at Ravien. Ravien saw the magic, and readied himself to absorbing it, but somehow the beam wasn’t listening to him.

Then he realized it. This was no normal magic. This was something different. He was able to duck under the beam, but it didn’t just pass him. When it reached his old position, it widened and formed a cage around Ravien. The cage quickly shrunk, and Ravien tried porting himself out. It was not possible. There was some kind of anti magic spell in effect. Gritting his teeth, he made himself as small as possible and went through the red beams.

He survived, but not without major injury. Both his horns, both his wings, and a good portion of his appendages were entirely cut off. Through pain, he realized what these beams were. It was nothing different than light, but it was not the normal light. It was highly concentrated light. Sadly, there was no known name for highly concentrated light that could burn things in milliseconds.

Ravien fell to the ground and impacted with a loud crash. The Alicorn didn’t stop and instantly ran at the nearly unconscious Ravien, but suddenly he vanished and a violet Pegasus was at his place. Purple Edge came back from the bottom of Canterlot, and wanted to assist in the fight. They switched him to the place of Ravien while he was hovering above a stretcher. When they swapped, Purple Edge stood in the path of the angry Alicorn while the remains of Ravien fell gently on the stretcher. The four Pegasi, carrying the stretcher, instantly started and flew to the hospital.

The Alicorn didn’t care. The Pegasus realized that they had no chance against the Alicorn. He could observe some of her fighting earlier, and realized that she knew about combat and that she used spells which they never saw. This means that the Alicorn either created new spells, or knew of spells which were not created in their dimension yet.

Either she was an overpowered ancient evil from Equestria, or someone from the multiverse. Purple Edge hoped it was the first option. He evaded some red light-beams. It looked like he was doing well since he only had to stall for time, until the courier would message Aren of the events. He was most likely the only one that knew something about what was going on right now.

When that thought ended, he instantly got pierced by a long black horn. He didn’t realize that the Alicorn vanished from existence and appeared right under him, some moments ago. This was the same spell Aren used, when they wanted to ambush him in his room, when they couldn’t find Celestia. How was this Alicorn able to stop time? Suddenly he felt that the horn, which was impaling him just moments ago, was quickly removed from his stomach, and he fell to the ground, instantly being swapped out by more medics and more stretchers.

The black Alicorn evaded a lavablast, which would have hit her right on the sides if she wouldn’t have backed off. Purple Edge took a last look at where the lavablast came from, and saw Celestia standing there, healthy without any wounds. Suddenly the face of the black Alicorn made its’ first change. It changed to confusion, but then changed back to its’ hate filled glare.

The black Alicorn noticed that Celestia planned to teleport herself behind the Alicorn, and it just turned around and shot a red beam at the new position she would appear in, but the beam just went through the position and nothing appeared in it. Suddenly realizing that this was a feint, the Alicorn turned back to Celestia, just to realize that she was nowhere to be seen. The Alicorn activated a simple all around looking spell but couldn’t find her. She couldn’t just simply vanish, and the Alicorn was sure that she still held every protective charm of nearly every possible spell that could affect the time. So where was she?

Suddenly, the floor beneath her exploded, and she got thrown away by the shockwave. She slammed into the floor about five meters away and bled at some spots at her body, yet she was still able to get up. The explosion made its’ damage, but it wasn’t devastating due to the hardening spell she kept up the whole time while fighting. Looking at her old position, she noticed not Celestia, but a black and green bug-pony standing there. Chrysalis just smirked at her plan.

She changed into Celestia to confuse the Alicorn. Then she fainted a teleport, so it would look away, and when it wouldn’t look at her anymore she changed her form into a little ant. As an ant, she crawled to the Alicorn and used her fire absorption spell and her firespell at the same time, so she wouldn’t get damaged by the explosion. Yet she still didn’t like this development.

She had thought that the explosion would deal more damage, than just some cuts. Chrysalis knew that she probably hardened her exterior. The only real way she knew by hardening the exterior was by using a constant stream of the hardness element on the own body, but it takes too many steps to even be created. This proved that this Alicorn knew how to battle as an immortal, and was able to use something like this subconsciously. It was unmistakably a being that fought for multiple thousand years like this.

Suddenly she saw a guard running towards her. It was the one who went to get Aren.

“We can’t find him!” He screamed, and Chrysalis felt her heart drop. This was bad, real bad. She could buy time, but she couldn’t possibly think of defeating this Alicorn. Aren couldn’t just vanish. She needed to buy more time. Then she thought about how she could be delayed if she was an immortal being with much more power than its’ opponents. It was not hard to change into this thinking pattern since she was exactly this at the wedding.

She also remembered what Luna and Celestia told her about Equestrias’ recent problems. Nightmare Moon, Discords breakout, Sombra. Then she realized something. Everyling did the same thing, except for Sombra. They loved to monologue. No, this couldn’t work, but it was still worth a try. Chrysalis slowly let go of her battle-stance, and saw that the Alicorn looked a little confused by the sudden calmness.

“I never saw you before. Who are you?” Please work please work please work please work. She stated this in a calm, yet careful voice. The Alicorn slowly lowered her battle stance. Looking at Chrysalis, she changed her expression to a smug smile. She heightened one of her hooves to her chest, and with a distorted ghostly sounding voice, she talked.

“I am Nifret, spirit of hate.” Chrysalis crooked an eyebrow.

“And why are you here attacking my castle?” Nifret obviously didn’t know anything about this world, so she decided to say that this castle belonged to her. A good villain loved to monologue, but she would love it even more if she could monologue in front of the big fudge. Nifret just smirked.

“Oh, this nice castle belongs to you? I am sorry if my explosive nature damaged it a little.” It’s not needed to mention that her voice was deeply sarcastic. “Oh by the way, who was this asymmetric being back there? Was this your pet?” Chrysalis had to think a little, but knew that she meant Ravien.

“That’s my court jester. I would really miss him in court if he wouldn’t be able to attend it due to injury.” Yep, calling Ravien, the most chivalrous and composed of the immortals, a court jester. She was totally telling the truth. If Applejack would have witnessed this expert lying, she would have caught a fish with her rope and would have smacked Chrysalis with it until she started bleeding fish-bones.

Nifred chuckled a little. “Well I am sure that he will be just fine.” She smirked deviously. “Of course only until I am finished with all of you.” She started to get ready again, and Chrysalis went a little in panic. She needed more time.

“You still haven’t answered my question. Why are you attacking my castle?” Another crooked eyebrow from Nifret, while switching back into a talking position.

“Isn’t it obvious? Because I want to destroy it and kill every one of you.” She went back into battle position, but Chrysalis quickly followed with another question.

“Why?” Nifret seemed a little annoyed and talked again.

“I don’t need a reason to kill and destroy.” She went back into battle position.

“Why not?” Chrysalis felt stupid continuing to ask why, like a little foal, but apparently it was pretty effective. The Alicorn had a dumbfounded look in her face.

“What do you mean, why not? I just don’t need one!” Back to battle stance.

“But what’s the reason for not having a reason?” Nifret looked at Chrysalis with squinted eyes. The look said nothing more than just simply ‘What the fuck? Is she for real?’

“Why should I have a reason for not having a reason? Having no reason implies I don’t need to have a reason for it!”

“But having no reason to do something doesn’t mean that there is no reason to have no reason for this something!” The Alicorn facehooved and groaned.

“Of course, because not having a reason also counts for the reason itself. If something has no reason, then there is no reason to have this reason or in this case no reason.” She shouted annoyed.

“But if this has no reason and you are here for no reason, then why are you here?” Finally, a question she could answer.

“I am here because this one” she gestured to herself “Felt so much hate and anger that it summoned me from my dimension. I possessed her body and well, here I am.” She explained.

“And why are you here?” Chrysalis said with a serious tone. She seemed serious and stoic on the outside while she fought two emotions inside herself. Panic and laughter. She just couldn’t believe that this stupid idea was actually working.

“I am here because in my home dimension, I am imprisoned in an IIB, and no one can escape an IIB. So when the hate summoned me to this one here, I accepted because being imprisoned is pretty boring, and some destruction could up my temper a little.” She exclaimed, finally having calmed down a little from the annoyance.

“See? So you have a reason for destroying my castle!” Nifret instantly groaned in rage and slammed her hooves to her head. This was unbelievable! How can one be so annoying?

“So? Then I have a reason to be here. What does it matter?” She smiled while switching back into a battle position.

“Why did you lie to me?” Nifret changed back into a dumbfounded expression and slammed her hoof in the floor. She slammed again and again until she felt calmer.

“Are you this fucking stupid or are you just retarded? Every idiot sees that I just didn’t tell you because I didn’t fucking care one single bit about you talking.” Chrysalis wasn’t angry. She felt like laughing inside because she managed to anger an opponent that was several times stronger than her with just acting stupid. This fact entertained her, and the fact that she would probably die a most horrible death for this. Suddenly a voice came from the side.

“Alright alright, what the hell is going on here?” They both turned their heads and saw Aren standing at a gate, having a confused and annoyed look on his face. “I go one single hour to my dimension to talk with someone about something and all shit is breaking loose. Celestia and Ravien nearly died. Half the castle is blown away. Some of my guards are dead, and when I go to fucking look what’s going on here, I see you two talking like two kids who argue about which superhero is the best one.”

Chrysalis eyes showed a mixture of relief and success. She was able to stall Nifret long enough for Aren to return. Now she only hoped that Aren would be strong enough to take her down. She genuinely outclassed everyling of them. Aren looked over to Nifret, and when he looked closer at her, he suddenly pulled out his sword with unreal speed. He instantly went into a battle-stance with an extremely serious expression and began to pant heavily.

“Nifret! What are you doing here?” He shouted at her. Nifret began to chuckle.

“Oh Aren. I wouldn’t have thought to find you here.” Her smirk changed to a seductive smile. “And I thought that there were no strong opponents here.” Arens’ expression didn’t change.

“You know that I don’t fall for your manipulation magic.” He growled deeply, and with an even deeper voice he said more. “Get out of Lunas’ body!” Nifret just continued smiling.

“Oh, you mean this body?” She gestured to her chest. “I am sorry, but I just can’t comply to your wishes.” She walked closer to him, but Aren didn’t move. When she came to him, she began to circle Aren while looking as seductive as possible. She also swayed her hips like she wanted to impress him with her new body. “You see, I never really had a body with hooves.” She exclaimed with a seductive chuckle. “I am eager to find out what I can do with them.” Nifret whispered in his ears.

Chrysalis watched this and felt drawn to Nifret. Her body. It seemed like it would harbor every secret that was known by anyling ever before. She seemed to ooze with magical and emotional energy, and that flank seemed to be the most gracious flank she ever saw. Chrysalis hated ponies and thought of them as disgusting hairy creatures. Yet, this body attracted her. Without her knowledge, the watching guards also couldn’t take their eyes of the mare.

She looked like a queen that needed to be served. Nifret slowly changed her look to Chrysalis and smiled deviously. “Oh Chrysalis dear, could you please attack Aren for me?” Back in her mind, Chrysalis screamed no, but her body seemed to answer the order. She got up and started shooting a fireball at Aren. Of course, he would absorb such a simple attack.

She was mistaken. The ball hit Arens’ left shoulder and exploded, throwing Aren and Nifret away. Aren was hit harder, but it also hurt Nifret. Just when he started to fly away through the impact, he turned and blocked a slash from a hovering sword, which was flying around Nifret. Still being in the air, he summoned two swords, which stroke down on Nifret, but were blocked by another two swords.

Aren held out one of his hands and shot some kind of red glowing steel-rope at Nifret, who simply shot a laser at it, which molded the steel, and went straight for Aren. Aren opened up two spacerifts, and the laser went into one, and came out of the other one which was located behind Nifret. Three mirrors appeared in the air. One behind Nifret which deflected the laser to the top at another one, which deflected it to the front, and the last one, which deflected it straight at Aren.

Aren formed his hand into a shape, which looked like his two last fingers were crooked into a fist, but the index- and the middle-finger were standing straight up. He made one groan, and the laser parted into six different yellow beams. Instantly summoning prismatic crystals, he aligned them in an order which allowed all the beams to unite at one violet crystal. Out of this crystal shot seven beams. Every beam having one color of a rainbow.

Summoning more spacerifts, Aren made every beam go into a different rift, and shortly after, they came out of other rifts, and the beams connected into a hovering flame over Nifret. When the beams hit the flame, it began to shine in all the colors of a rainbow, and instantly crashed down on Nifret, who saw her predicament and saw only one way out. She screamed and put all of her magical reserves into a barrier on top of her. The fire impacted with it, and it was obvious that Nifret had a hard time holding up the barrier.

Everything up until now was happening in that short amount of time while they were still flying away from the blast of the explosion. The whole process didn’t even take three seconds. Now they both landed. Aren on his back, from which he instantly rolled over to get back into a battle position, and Nifret on her hooves still holding up her barrier. The fire subsided, and she took her barrier away. Suddenly she began to chuckle.

“My my my. Would you look at this? I didn’t know that you were able to conjure rainbow-fire. A very impressive display.” She began to laugh in her hoof. “But to think that you would use it in the first place is the most interesting thing I saw in a long time. A spell that does not kill, but is impossibly hard to pull off. It seems like the one in this body here is important to you.” She said in between laughing fits. Aren just spat on the ground.

“I just need her against Oran. He has his eyes set on this dimension here.” Nifret let out a loud “oh” and looked amused.

“So Oran is here.” She giggled again. “I can only imagine his face when he sees the corpse of his apprentice.” Aren seemed serious and strengthened his hold on his weapon. He suddenly winced with his shoulder, and his sword was engulfed in rainbow-colored fire. Nifret instantly bursted to him with an unreal speed and threw five lasers, each in a different direction. Suddenly they all made a turn and went parallel to Aren, past him. It looked like he was standing in a pentagon. Suddenly, the Lasers behind him made another turn and impacted into each other.

Aren knew this spell. This was the spell which Nifret used last time they fought, and this spell was not pleasant. She instantly shot a gigantic red beam at him. Aren knew that if he would step out of the pentagon, he would receive the full burst of every line in it, but if he got hit by that beam, he would get toasted. If he would evade, she would just follow his movements and would align her spell with Arens’ new position. He needed another plan.

Suddenly, Aren walked to the left of the pentagon, and another Aren stepped out of him, who walked to the right. Nifret smirked. A simple duplication spell, nothing special. She just needed to use her aura-vision to… wait. She can’t discern the real one. Both looked like they had the same amount of magic, and both looked like they were made of flesh. This can’t be. She had to hit both at once because if she decides for the wrong one, she would most likely lose.

Putting more energy into the blast, it got wider and engulfed nearly the whole Pentagon. She knew that if her spell would go past it that she would receive the damage from the pentagon, and she could not risk, being inflicted with this. Suddenly both of the Arens vanished, and her eyes widened. She ended her shot and looked around. He was nowhere to be seen. This was impo- WAIT!

She instantly ended her pentagon spell and jumped back, just in time to evade an orange-lightning explosion. She looked to the front, and saw that Aren was disguised as a little bug. Now he had his old form back, but just continued smirking. Why was he smirking? Now she knew why. He parted himself, and the second Aren was still somewhere. Using an all around sight spell, she saw the other one behind her and instantly built a barrier behind her.

The second Aren hit the shield with his rainbow-fire-engulfed sword, and she felt a slight magical backlash. It was certainly not easy to block such an attack, but she managed. Turning around, while flying, she shot a laser at this Aren, who simply got swapped out with another Aren, who had a prisma-shield. The laser impacted with it and got reflected back to her. She simply absorbed her own spell back into her body and used a black orb, which flew at the new Aren with the shield.

The black orb impacted with the prisma-shield and exploded violently in a black explosion, but before it could hit him, it was suppressed by a barrier which was built around it. But the barrier wasn’t round. It was shaped like a flask, and the explosion had only one way to go. It flew to the only free hallway in the barrier and went straight into a spacerift. The outcoming spacerift, was placed directly at the first Aren, who had an unenchanted gray sword with a diamond in it placed at the rift.

The black explosion, turned to a beam, came out of the rift and impacted with the diamond. The diamond absorbed the beam, and when the beam vanished, the sword glimmered with black light. Nifret had no time to guess what Arens’ plan was because she had to block a massive column of white-water, which was shot by the second Aren. With one hand shooting the water, the second Aren threw his sword up and got swapped with the first Aren. The first Aren was now in front of Nifret and caught the falling sword.

The second Aren behind her screamed and used every last bit of his remaining power, to conjure another barrier in the shape of a flask, but this time the first Aren and Nifret were in it. Having the black sword in one hand, and the other one in his other hand, he threw the black sword at Nifret. While the sword was flying, he shot a rainbow-colored beam out of his other sword, which impacted with the black sword. Then the sword exploded into a gigantic explosion, just like the black explosion earlier. But this time, the explosion was rainbow-colored and not black. Nifret also used the last bit of her strength and summoned another barrier.

Sadly for her, she used up too much magical power already, and the shield collapsed. The rainbow-explosion engulfed her, and the world turned black for her. The first Aren who was in there didn’t feel different. His world also turned black. Outside, the barrier vanished, and the first Aren, just like Nifret, fell down to the floor. The body didn’t look damaged at all, just like Nifrets’, but it nonetheless wasn’t capable of fighting anymore.

The second Aren sighed and put his sword away. Then he walked over to the unconscious first Aren and put his hand on him. The first one, then got sucked into the second one, and Aren cracked his neck. He slowly walked over to the unconscious Nifret and placed his hand on her head. Not long after, a black fog materialized over the unconscious body, and the body slowly turned back into the form of an unconscious Luna.

Aren won this time against Nifret. The last time they fought, which was about 50,000 years ago, he lost the fight and only survived the fight through sheer luck. Seeing the soul, Aren opened a dimensional-rift, which sucked the soul up, but this wasn’t enough. Aren wanted to make sure to never see this ghost again. So before, the rift closed, Aren summoned a nuclear-explosion spell and inflicted it with the element soul. A nuclear-explosion of soulfire. Aren had to shiver at the image of this, and threw the now blue glowing ball after the ghost into the rift.

When the ball went into it, the rift closed itself, and everything remained quiet. Chrysalis noted that she could move again, and slowly walked over to Luna. She didn’t want to admit it, but this was an impressive fight. Chrysalis didn’t understand half the spells or how they worked, but she could still see that many of those spells were extremely difficult to pull off. She had no doubt anymore. If she would have fought against Nifret, she would have lost.

Arriving at Lunas’ side, she looked over to Aren. “Will she be alright?” Chrysalis asked with a serious tone. She still needed her for Oran.

Aren didn’t answer. He only stood there, and his head hung down with gently closed eyes. He seemed to be in deep thought. Not wanting to disturb Aren in his thoughts, Chrysalis waited for him to speak first before she spoke again. Some minutes passed, and Aren still didn’t move. Chrysalis got impatient and looked closer at Aren. What she saw made her feel perplexed and angry at the same time.

Aren was fast asleep.

Author's Note

I'm not sure about this fight.

It would be appreciated if you would give me a feedback for this fight, since it may be a little complicated with all the stuff that's happening. A cool fight is nice and stuff, but if I don't describe it good enough, so it can be understood, then the fight ain't worth shit.
