Your wish came true.

As Celestia finishes her speech, you fly up into the air and look over the army, flying just above the eagles, you use your royal Canterlot voice, as well. “We must fight! Fight for Equestria! It’s our time now! It is OUR time to show them who the REAL winners are!” They all raise another hoof at you as you finish, Celestia herself is in shock as to your voice too, but before she interviens, you speak up again. “I have one more thing to say!” Everypony still looking at you, you take a quick scim of the crowd, slowly blink and look dead in the centre. “LEAROOOOOYYYYYYY JEEEENKIIIINS!!!!!!!!!!”

A giant stampede is then heard from behind you as the guards set off, galloping into battle, closely, the eagles follow you as you fly in, you nod at each other, before taking off further into the skies, surveying the land, flying back down to join the others, you all stand in formation, ready to use the elements, but while caught off guard, a mysterious force levitates them away from you all, sending them rushing over to her side of the battlefield, and in the distant views, you spy them being flung to the floor and crushed by non-other than Shadowbolt. Twilight lets out a yelp as she sees what happened, followed by the rest of the mane 6, which just stare blankly at the ground in which their precious elements were crushed, as more royal guards gallop past them, almost knocking them over because of the sheer speed.

“The elements! How can he destroy them?!”

From the other side of the battlefield, you hear Luna using her Royal Canterlot voice, “Bahaha! Now you don’t have your precious elements, you’re worthless, every single one of you!” From behind princess Luna, through the mountains, you spy a group of forces, shrouded by slight darkness. They appear to be wearing metallic, silver armour, much like the Royal Guards armour, them too, galloping further into the battlefield. A low voice is heard from your side, “What will you do now, now you don’t have your precious elements, Speedster?” Before you can turn your head around, you feel a sharp pain in your side, then you cascade to the floor, in front of Twilight. Twilight lets out a quick yelp, before firing a bolt of lightning from her horn, which Shadowbolt misses with ease. “Oh, defending your stallion, are we?”

“Hey! He’s MY stallion!” Dashie quickly shouts, before you can hold a hoof to stop her, she quickly launches herself at Shadowbolt, just missing her tackle, she tries again, but still, missing every time. “Quit moving so I can hit you!”

“Oh, are you mad?”

“Yes!” She screams,  swinging her hooves at him, missing each time, while he moves side to side. “Now quit moving!-“ Her voice is cut short via him hitting her swiftly in the side, a loud crack is heard as she falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Quickly, you stand on your hooves and bolt towards her, catching her mid-fall, you quickly decent to the ground and place her with her friends.

“What did I tell you, Shadowbolt? I recall that I told you; “If you don’t get out of here in 5 seconds, I will rip your damn head off” And now I see you here, and you hit my soon to be wife, now, you’re going to pay.” Ignoring your now only slightly stinging side, you rush towards him, getting a crack at his jaw, sending him flying backwards, you charge again, not before a griffin charges you back, hitting you in the stomach, sending you a few feet back, before hitting it in the neck, and sending it to the floor with a loud bang. As you turn your head, it’s greeted by a hoof hitting you in the face, turns out the griffin was just a distraction so he could hit you.

“Pay attention, boy.”

“No one has called me boy in… A long time.”

“Well, maybe somepony knows about your past more than they think.”

“Who told you?!”

“Oh, well, wouldn’t that ruin the surprise?” He quickly lunges towards you again, luckily, you grab his hoof, swing him around and send him to the floor, the same way you did the griffin. He lands with another loud bang, but before you can react, he appears out of the spoke with a bolt of black streaks leaving his past embodiment, he tries to strike you, he misses but taps your side as he passes, flying deep into the clouds, you give haste, leaving your own streak of fire as you follow.

Bursting through the clouds, you see him at the other end of the battlefield, still above the vloud layer, just enough to see him. You both start bursting towards each other, light bending around both of you, quickly angling towards each other of presumably death, you both form the mach cone at the same time, and burst through the air, leaving two giant booms behind each other, his being a dark, black void like boom, yours being a sun like fire. Baoth zooming through the air at increasing speeds, all of the ponies and animals start to stare at you, you bring your focus back up to Shadowbolt, letting out a yell, “FOR EQUESTRIA!”

As you both collide into each other, another large explosion is formed in the middle of you both, exploding out in all directions, a mix of light and dark, cold and hot, electric literally sparking off of it, igniting the air around itself. Both of you now flying back from the impact, you’re now spyraling down, through the cloud layer, just missing the eagles and other ponies still rushing into battle, you hit the floor, hard, hard enough for it to leave a small crater behind. The mane 6 quickly gather around you, but before they have chance to lift you up out of the hole that you created, your eyes flare open, now sparked with fire themselves, it’s like they strive for the heat of battle, you burst up into the air, your main and tail now burning through the very air itself, you’re heading for the still very dazed Shadowbolt, he recognises you coming towards him and tries to move, he gets to his hooves and braces for impact, but didn’t brace well enough. You brake through his front hoof shield, that he was holding in front of his face, now pushed onto his back, you punch him in the jaw, then in the neck, you try to get another punch in, but he bucks you off of him, and you fly high up into the air.

He takes a few seconds to gather his breath, before he spies Dashie flying above, with the eagles, you see him target her and you start to dart towards her, you’re about to call to her, telling her to look out but before you can, he grabs her and flies about the cloud layer, you hastily follow him, he now holds her in a way she can’t move any of her hooves, he has her front hooves behind her back, and her back hooves trapped between his. “So Speedster, this is what differentiates us from each other.”

“Oh yeah? Because I have love, and you don’t?” You take a second to laugh at that with your face still dark from hate.

“Actually, no, the thing that differs us is this.” He leans into Dashie and licks her ear, “See? You have emotions, and I do not! Bahaha!”

You attempt to get closer to them, but as you try, he brings a hoof to her stomach. “One more flap towards me, and I’ll kill her.”

“NO!” You scream. Pain now starting to suffice.

“Don’t hurt her!” Dashie screams, which gets a confused look from you, and a smirk from him. He quickly leans towards Dashie, close to her ear, you can only just make out the words, “You didn’t tell him, did you?”

“Tell me what?!”

“Oh sweet Luna, this is hilarious!”

“What’s so funny?!”

“Well, you claim you’re both in love, yet she is holding something back from you.”

“Oh yeah?! And what’s that, then?!”

“Well, it’s simply this.”

He takes Dashie by the stomach and the scruff of her neck, hurdling her through the cloud layer towards the floor, before you hear what else he has to say, you dart after her again, but by the time you pass the clouds, you see her on the floor with her limbs stretched out and her friends starting to crowd around her, slowly you descend to her side, resting a wing on her chest, and bringing her head up with your right hoof.

“Dashie! Don’t leave me Dashie! Please, never leave me!” Tears start to well up in your eyes, slowly starting to drip down your cheeks, you bring her close to you, so you’re now muffling your cries in her mane, she doesn’t talk for what seems hours, until you hear her mumbling in your ear, you quickly hold her tighter, hoping to hear what she says, “What did you say, Dashie?” You sputter out, between cries.

“I-I’m p-pregnant…” Before you can react, she falls limp in your arms, and her breathing comes to a stop. You very slowly rest her down, her mane now damp with your tears, you quickly whisper in her ear, “I l-love you, R-Rainbow Dash…”

You close your eyes and focus on the air around you, the way it’s moving comes to an instant halt, and a bubble like sphere starts to form, then starts spinning, slowly gaining in speed, your sobs have now stopped, and your eyes flash open with a bright light, the bubble starts to push itself further out, engulfing more area by the send, you hear an almost in audible sound, coming from what you could only say was Shadowbolt’s mouth, “No! It can’t be! He would never sacrifice himself for a stupid mare!” It only fuels your rage even more. Your coat now starting to give off sparks of pure energy and magic, the bubble like shield now covering almost all of the battlefield and still spreading, Shadowbolt tries to fly away, but it doesn’t get him far, he is still contained.

Your front hooves now explode away from your chest and your head shoots upwards, a beaming light is sent out of your mouth and your eyes, up into the sky, making it a solid white, crackling sounds are heard from all angles, like lightning. Slowly, you feel something growing inside of you, like an explosion waiting to happen, you hastily stand up on your back hooves, everypony now staring at you. It looks like it’s your last stand.

You utter the words, “I love you, Rainbow Dash…” before you’re engulfed by a bright, white light… the only thought that is left seems to be;

Is this the end?
