The sun hung low on the horizon through dark clouds casting a brown light on the battlefield. Bodies of fallen warriors littered the rocky landscape. Some were burned or skinned alive leaving nothing but bones and puddles of dried blood. Others still intact enough providing food for vultures to fight over.
The trail of bodies and blood lead to a set of stairs, which lead to the top of a pyramid with orange fire tornado was shooting out from. From the top, a commotion could be heard going on.
A white alicorn with rainbow colored hair and now pupils, landed harshley on her back from being thrown. She wore dark blue and black samurai armor, with black three edged gauntlets, shoulder pads and shin guards all with gold lining. She also had a gold, conical hat with small samurai horns on the front (That fell off when she landed), and an amulet with a dragon symbol on it, clipped to her vest.
Approaching her was a large red and black minotaur. He wore a samurai helmet with gold horns and a face cover that resembled a skull. Large spiked brown shoulder pads that are curved upwards, spiked brown wrist bands and spiked brown shin guards on his front legs. He had Four brown leather straps connected to a skull on his chest, as well as a skull on the center of his brown leather belt with a red loincloth and a red cape.
"Where are the Elder Gods, Celestia?" Tirek asked mockingly, as he made his way to the fallen princess. He bent down and grabbed her by the vest and brought her up to eye level. "Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer." He said, as he proceeded to start punching Celestia across the face several times, before throwing her through the air. As Celestia was flying through the air, her amulet falls off her vest and shatters upon hitting the ground.
Tirek then starts making his way towards her as he summon a giant hammer coated with green flames. "They masquerade as dragons, but are mere toothless worms." As Tirek finishes this he slams hi front hoof on Celestia's chest "My venom spreads. It is the end of all things. Armageddon." The fire on Tirek's hammer then turns orange and his body all of a sudden lights up in the same type of flames.
"STOP!" Celestia shouts.
But Tirek ignores her and says "It is done." He then once again pick up Celestia by the vest and bring her face to his. "Your time has passed." He says as he throws Celestia again over towards her shattered amulet. After Celestia lands, she slowly starts to try and push herself back up, as Tirek walks towards her. "Ages wasted in foolish resistance." Tirek says, as Celestia looks at the shattered pieces of her amulet. "Now is the dawn of my rule!" Celestia then scoops up the pieces of her amulet, which start glowing blue as Celestia chants some mysterious words. Tirek then walks right in front of her, holding his still flaming hammer. He looks down at Celestia and says. "Yes. Pray to the worms, Celestia." Celestia ignores this and proceeds to continue saying the words while the shattered pieces begin to shoot blue sparks. "As your world ends." Tirek says, as he lifts up his hammer.
Right before he strikes it down on Celestia she closes her eyes and says, "You must win!"
In a flash of blue light, Celestia opens her eyes and everything was different she wasn't on top of a pyramid, there were no bodies anywhere and her outfit was completely different. She now wore a ceremonial white garb with silver shoulder pads, gold emblems on her sleeves, and a blue tunic over the middle with a black belt. She also sported black gauntlets and black shin guards, complete with a straw hat oh her head. Her amulet still remained clipped to her vest. All of a sudden sharp pinch came over in her head and she put her front hoof to her head in pain.
"Princess Celestia! What is wrong?" asked a lavender unicorn with indigo hair and purple eyes. She wore a black robe with one sleeve that had a red sash going from over her shoulder to around her waist, along with the same dragon symbol from Celestia's amulet on the robe's shoulder. She also wore black shoes with white stockings, red pants on her back legs, spiked wrist guards on her forelegs, and a red headband tied around her head.
"Strange visions…" Replied Celestia, just then a cracking sound was heard and she removed her amulet, to see that it now had cracks forming all over it.
"Your amulet!" The purple unicorn shouted.
"It is nothing, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia lied "The tournament begins."
