Cue Sonic Unleashed: Mini-Boss Battle Theme
The battle between the dark creatures and Werelight started rather quickly; As a couple of them quickly thrust their arms at her to try and attack. A very bad idea. Sure, she may be a lot more aggressive in this form, something she found out after seeing her friends in danger just moments earlier, but she was still a very smart female; The alicorn quickly attempting to use her magic to hold back the arms of her attackers... To no avail. Instead of her magic actually working, she felt her breath getting colder as her horn glowed this ice blue aura. But that didn't get her immediate attention as she still had to worry about the monsters attacking her.
"Shit!" Werelight yelped as she deactivated her magic and quickly avoided her attackers; Quickly running around and trying to get her magic to work. "Come on magic, now's not a good time to fail on me!"
And it was then that Werelight noticed that some sort of frost was coming out of her mouth as she tried to get her magic to work. Had her magical ability been replaced by...? Well there was only one way to find out. After managing to stop in place, the black-ish purple haired female stopped in place and took a deep breath... And as the arms of her attackers were thrust at her once more, she let loose; The Princess of Friendship breathing ice at her current attackers, thus freezing them in place! From there, her confidence and aggressiveness had truly returned as she charged at the mysterious monsters; Freezing the ones that attempted to attack her. And the ones she didn't have time to freeze, she quickly managed to grab hold of their arms and slam them against other creatures. And just like when Sonic, Rainbow and Tails fought them, the defeated creatures disappeared into thin air. Unfortunately, just like when the trio had fought them, the creatures happened to come back; But not as often. It seems their forces were finally dwindling down!
"Ha, don't think I'm afraid of you because you keep coming back!" Werelight confidently cried out as she managed to take down two more of the creatures. "I'll take you all on!"
Probably not the best choice of words there, since moments after she said this, the mysterious creatures ended up grouping together; The group growing bigger and bigger until there was nothing more than two gigantic cyclops like creatures followed by a few more of the grunts she was just fighting remaining. And to make matters worse, the two Cyclops monsters grabbed hold of two nearby large trees and held them like they were going to use them as clubs! Cause they were! Yet that didn't seem to phase Werelight in the slightest, as she ran right towards the remainder of the creatures, doing what she had been doing for the past minute or so: Kicking ass and taking names. She started with the remainder of the grunts, knowing that they would be a real problem if she decided to deal with the big guys first, and that was a problem she did not want to deal with. But even though she was dealing with the smaller ones first, the bigger ones were already becoming a problem as they kept trying to hit her with their clubs; Something which the Princess of Friendship was able to easily avoid without any second though. Mainly because the swings of the clubs were super slow and super easy to see coming. Yet what the black-purple manned mare didn't see coming was when these bigger monsters decided to jump up and down on the ground; Which sent a large wave of dark energy across the ground. Which said energy hit the strong gal, since she was still a bit occupied with the smaller grunts; Making this an attack that she didn't see coming, so said attack flung her right into a nearby tree, allowing a few of the grunts to get the jump on her and land a few good hits on her.
Which this was something she wasn't gonna ler happen much longer. After managing to come to her senses, Werelight let out a rather angry growl before using her ice breath to freeze up the attackers in front of her; Using her newfound strength to bust right through them before charging directly at the two cyclops monsters, both of which attempted to bash her in with their clubs. Something which the Princess of Friendship easily expected from these massive monsters, her quickly jumping up on one of the clubs and charging at the monster that held said club. And as expected, the one eyed dark creature attempted to smack her off with its hand; To which the buff teen immediately jumped over the attack and delivered a swift blow to the head once she managed to get close to the target, making the creature all sorts of dazed. Seeing that, the black-purple haired female decided to finish the job; Managing to get behind the large monster and grab hold of its tail, grunting as she attempted to use her newfound strength to lift it off the ground. Doing such a feat took a few seconds, but she managed to do it; Her lifting up the creature and slamming it back onto the ground, headfirst! And when that finally blow was struck, just like the smaller grunts, the cyclops disappeared into thin air; Leaving nothing but the uprooted tree it was using as a club. But the fight wasn't over yet, as she still had the other monster to worry about. But this one was going to be easier than the first monster she took down, considering there were no other monsters or grunts for her to worry about now.
With this cyclops, Werelight decided to fight fire with fire; Using her own ice powers to create a large club of her own. It wasn't as sturdy or as powerful as the tree that the monster was using as a club, considering it was already cracking at the first few strikes, but it was going to get the job done! After managing to do one one last hard swing at the large creature, that was when the Princess of Friendship's own club busted into nothing but ice shards; Creating this cloud of frost between her and the dark creature she was battling. Seeing this as a perfect chance, the buff teen immediately jumped through the frost cloud; Which in turn, caught the creature off guard and allowed her to deliver a firm punch to the creature's gut, which resulted in it falling back and dropping its club. Then to finish off the battle, the black purple haired alicorn quickly grabbed hold of the monster's own club and used it against it as it was standing up; Managing to quickly knock it back down and take it down for good, as it was now also disappearing into thin air. With the last of the monsters taken out of commission, Werelight dropped the tree she had grabbed from the creature and howled at the moon in excitement.
End Mini-Boss Theme
"That'll teach you creeps not to mess with my friends!" Twilight excitedly exclaimed as her aggression was finally coming to a halt; Her now placing a finger to her chin. "But what in Equestria were those things...? And why did they try to attack us...?"
Speaking of that though, Werelight realized she better hurry along to check up on Rainbow, Sonic and Tails; Hoping that they didn't run into anymore of those monsters. Yet before she could even take another step, the ground under her started to rumble and shake. Another earthquake, and this one was just as powerful as the one she and the rainbow haired gal dealt with back in Ponyville, and it lasted just as long! Luckily thought, the black-purple haired gal was able to keep her balance completely until the earthquake had finally stopped. Once all that was said and done however, the Princess of Friendship quickly dashed in the direction that she saw her friends run towards. And sure enough, in a matter of minutes, she had managed to arrive at the first Temple of Gaia; Where she saw both Sonic - who was still carrying Tails at this point - and Rainbow Dash exiting said temple, unharmed. Other than the injuries they had sustained during their battle with the mysterious dark creatures earlier. So seeing them safe, the black-purple haired alicorn hurried towards them... But when she got close, the rainbow haired pegasus ended up getting into a battle ready position, thinking that another enemy was approaching her, the blue hedgehog and the yellow fox. Though when the buff teen got closer, that was when the speedy teen got out of her battle position and tilted her head.
"Twilight?" Rainbow asked. "Is that... You?"
"It's quite the story story Rainbow Dash..." Werelight responded with a sigh.
An hour or so later...
"And that's what happened to me." Werelight finished, having explained her transformation to the others right after Tails had woken up.
"Now that sounds a lot like what happened to Sonic last time." Tails responds to which it caught Werelight's attention. "It happened with Sonic?"
"Sure did." Sonic answered. "Though by the time this adventure's over, you'll be cured! For now, it's a good thing we have some muscle on our team!"
"Hell yeah!" Rainhow excitedly responded. "And if those creatures show up again, you'll kick their asses just like you did before!"
To this, Werelight just rolled her eyes before turning her attention over to Tails.
"Where's the next temple?" Werelight asks, to which Tails answered. "The next place we have to go is Chun-nan, but I don't think it's such a good idea for us to go at the moment..."
"Why not?" Werelight questioned, to which this time Sonic answered. "Trust me, transforming back while flying is not a fun experience..."
And since Sonic had gone through the transformation before, Werelight ended up taking his word for it... Though with nothing else left to do in Mazuri, the heroes ended up falling asleep for the night. But as she fell asleep, the black-purple haired alicorn certainly hoped they could make up for whatever ground they could've gained tonight with the next temple.
