Celestia and Spirit stared each other down. Celestia charged her pure magic into a blade that formed around her horn. Spirit poured his energy into his sword and got into a stance in which he would throw the energy, but he tried to make it so that it looked like he was going to dash at her. Everypony watched.

The Duel

"What they HELL are those two doing!? And what happened to Spirit!?" Lightning yelled.

"He is fighting for us." Sweetie Belle said. "Luna, Octavia, Vinyl and I. He is fighting to save us."

"You gave him powers, what powers are you talking about?"

"When we went to the griffin Kingdom, he sacrificed himself for me. So I gave him the powers of a lycan and a vampire." Gunner looked at her in disbelief.

"So were you the one killing everypony?" Gunner asked. They all turned to him.

"They were all murderers and criminals. They didn't deserve life." Sweetie Belle stated flatly. Gunner didn't argue with her. Now wasn't the time. Rarity, however, was about to burst into tears just by knowing that her sister was killing ponies.

"So, how likely is it that he will beat our sister?" Luna asked.

"They are both at half power. It looks like an even fifty-fifty to me."

"Spirits got this." Blade said. "Like us, he can only get stronger. But he can go FAR beyond any of our limits. Celestia is already at her maximum potential. Spirit can take her down now if he wanted." As Blade finished, Celestia used her magic to summon terrain. Large forests, large lakes, and even a volcano. They flew at each other, both breaking the sound barrier. Spirit prepared for Celestia's slash and ducked under it. He then launched himself downwards and shot a powerful magic blast from his sword. Celetsia's armor was able to take the hit with no problems. Spirit began to add more power than before and zoomed at Celestia. She shot a magic blast that was decimated by Spirit's sword. He swung his sword at close range and a large pool of red and orange energy launched into Celestia. The armor she wore protected most of the blast, but she still took some damage. Celestia shot powerful magic blasts, but Spirit blocked them. When Spirit went to block the last one, Celestia was right next to him. She swung her horn and left a huge cut in the armor he wore. Some blood oozed out of it, but Spirit seemed to be ignoring it.

""You are strong, Brawny Spirit. But one of us must lose here." Celestia formed the magic around her horn into a hammer. "AND IT WILL NOT BE ME." She smashed Spirit in the chest, Spirit knew that blocking it wouldn't help. So he took the attack head on. He flew to the ground, breaking the sound barrier on the way. A huge cloud of smoke plumed from the area Spirit had landed on. The smoke even reached the forest. Celestia thought she had won and turned to the other ponies. "I knew I would w-" A tree smashed into her, sending her flying. Spirit had grabbed several trees with his vampire magic. He then sharpened them and threw them like javelins. Celestia blocked them, but the force of their impact was great enough to make her have to teleport away from the area. "Nice attack, but it doesn't change the outcome." Celestia was getting cocky. Spirit zoomed out her sight. Celestia looked all over for him, but when she turned she was sent flying by a super charged hoof strike to the face. Celestia's crater was far larger then Spirit's.

"I used my lycan powers to move so fast that even you couldn't keep up with me. Time to finish this!" Spirit raised his sword and put much of his power into it. Celestia's armor was actually giving away. When she tried to fly, she couldn't. She looked at her wings and hind legs only to see that Spirit's vampire magic had her trapped. Not even her teleportation could get her away form this. Spirit launched his attack. Everypony gazed at the immense amount of power that had been condensed into this small mass. It went flying to Celestia. After getting about ten feet away from her, it exploded. The power was so great that it bore a crater that would scar the land. The explosion had completely destroyed the forest and most of the nearby lake. As Spirit turned away, there was an odd laughter coming from the crater.

"Nice try!" Celestia shot herself towards Spirit, she was much faster than before. They were even in speed, but Celestia was quickly overpowering him. She got several slashes in on him, each one cutting into his armor. Spirit amplified his vampire powers and matched Celestia's strength. They mirrored each others slashes and met in a stalemate. "ENOUGH!" Celestia increased her powers and threw Spirit into the volcano that was at least nine miles away. Spirit landed in the lava and was quickly consumed.

"Come on! Get back out there!" Lycan Spirit yelled. Spirit's powerful aura protected him form the heat and lava. He flew out of the volcano and caused it to erupt. He grabbed the lava with his magic as he exited the volcano and focused it towards Celestia. She swiftly dodged the attack, but was struck into the crater she just got out of. Spirit then began to drown her in lava. He used his magic to keep her from surfacing. He used his powers to form the lava into a ball, and began to rotate it at high speeds. The pressure and heat was to much. She was losing consciousnesses, fast. She increased her powers further and finally escaped the lava trap. She had coughed up some lava and absorbed solar energy. She used her magic to move the lava as well. They were evenly matched. One couldn't overpower the other, but that was proven wrong. Celestia had gathered enough solar power to launch a powerful beam of magic that was travelling to fast for Spirit to react.

"It is over!" Celestia screamed. The power shattered most of Spirit's armor and drained much of his power. He flew into the lake, and Celestia followed. Spirit was still fighting. He rocketed himself towards Celestia. Instead of using his sword, he used martial arts. His strikes were so powerful that he broke her armor. Celestia was smashed to the bottom of the lake only to be thrown out of it. Spirit followed and grabbed her neck. Celestia was nearing her full power, as was Spirit.

"They are evenly matched..." Luna mumbled. They were all stunned at how powerful both of them truly were. The only one not to be stunned was Blade.

"Spirit will win this." He said with confidence.

"How do you know that?" Luna asked.

"Celestia seems to be in worse condition than Spirit, and they are nearing full power. Spirit has a chance."

"This is foolish!" Spirit yelled. "THIS ENDS NOW!" They both screamed. They shot magic blasts of great power at each other. They kept canceling each other out. Celestia shot hundreds at once and teleported behind Spirit. She struck his back with her hoof, sending him into a stream of incredible power.

How is he this powerful, I wonder. Gilda nearly killed him when he was in his Sombra form... Sweetie Belle thought.

Spirit recovered and slashed Celestia's bare coat with his sword. Celsetia quickly crushed Spirit head under her hoof. This sent Spirit far below the surface. He quickly used his magic grind out a small den, He used the newly made space to pull out some knives he collected from the griffins.

"I knew these would come in handy." He then flew out of the hole and straight into Celestia, sending her flying. He used his magic to garb more lava and he sent it skyward. It quickly began to rain. He then threw two of knives he collected at Celestia, As they got close, Celestia could tell they were super charged. She also noticed that they weren't headed for her. As they reached her sides, Spirit focused his magic on a lightning bolt that struck and shot it at the two knives. The lightning was moving even faster then it normally would have due to Spirit's magic. It was attracted to the two knives at Celestia's sides. As it struck the knives, lightning shot between them and shocked Celestia. Spirit then threw the other eight and they all were floating around her. He used the same trick again, but this time he used several lightning bolts. They lightning flowed through all of the knives had electrocuted her horrifically. She was scorched. Her majestic white coat was now burnt black, her mane and tail was no longer flowing, she was bleeding all over, and her wings were greatly damaged. Yet, she still stood to fight. She began to summon her full power. Her body began to heal so quickly, but the blood and injured wings remained. "YOU HAVE PUSHED ME QUITE FAR, BRAWNY SPIRIT!" Celestia was moving so fast that Spirit couldn't keep up at all. He was getting slammed from every angle. He felt the life being beaten, smashed and crushed out of him. Many of his bones had broke, his fore legs were dislocated, and his bat wings had holes in them.

"The time to use my power, is now Spirit." It was his inner evil, the form that held the powers of King Sombra.

"Is there any other way I can win? If I use that power, then I may harm the others..." Spirit picked this fight to protect them, he wasn't going to win by letting harm get to close.

"They won't be hurt, I promise." Spirit smiled and began to summon his dark magic. When Celestia had taken another look at him, she could see all of his limb's hinge joints bent in the opposite direction. They all quickly snapped back into place as the evil magic of Sombra began to heal Spirit, just as Celestia had done. His wounds healed and he flew into the air. They stared at one another, as they did at the start of this battle.

"The end is about to arrive..." Sweetie Belle said. They were all nervous, even Blade. They all wanted Spirit to win. Even Twilight wanted him to win. They wanted to help, but they couldn't. They were being held back, forced to watch these two forces beat each other into oblivion.

"I BELIEVE IT IS ABOUT TIME WE FINISH THIS!" Spirit shouted.

"FOR ONCE, I AGREE!" Celestia screamed back. They both flew at each other, but for the other ponies it just looked like they disappeared and reappeared.

"This... that can't be...!" Blade said in awe.

"What? What is it?!" Scootaloo shouted.

"They... They're moving... so fast... even I can't keep track of them... that's impossible...!" Blade said as his horn went out, the magic around it disappearing. They were all sweating, nervous, scared, and filled with hope that screamed out to Spirit telling him to win. They both struck each other at full force. The collision caused an explosion so great that it destroyed all of the notable surroundings. There was a large cloud of smoke and dust. Nopony could see what was happening. At that moment, a figure flew out of the cloud. But it was moving to fast to tell how it was. They turned back to the enormous cloud to see who was still standing. As it cleared, they all cheered. Spirit was still flying, and Celestia was out cold. The invisible barrier protecting the others evaporated, and they all ran to see Spirit.

"Where did you get that power from?! Before, you could barely hold you own against Gilda!" Sweetie Belle asked. Rainbow Dash was to excited to hear the last part, like everypony else.

"When I fought her, my Sombra form only gave me a very small fragment of his power. I had to use all of it in order to beat Celestia, and to protect you four." He turned to see Luna, Octavia and Vinyl all running up to him to congratulate him. But before they got to him, he collapsed from fatigue. He had won the fight, but he to had been knocked out.

Author's Note

The next chapter will be out soon, I just hope that this doesn't seem weird or completely stupid. The reason his lycan powers and vampire powers are so incredible, is because I based it off of Hellsing Ultimate. I also don't own the music. If there was a problem, just leave a comment.
