The Elites
Downfall
"Dad how are you alive?!" ask Serene as he took his father in his hooves
"Cursed spared me, only because he needed a way to enter the castle and will get rid of me once he's finish" said Night as he touch his throat.
"Don't worry, dad" said Serene as he smiled at his father
"How's your mother?" ask Night with a worried tone
"She not the same, she refuses to leave the house, Dad I've never seen mom like that! It's like she a completely different mare" said Serene as the imagined of his devastated mother returned to him.
"Skyangle talking his harder than I thought" mumbled Night
"Dad what do we do?" ask Serene
"We have to stop him" said Night
"How sir? He took the royals down and all the royals guards are gone" said Emerald
"Not all the royals" said Night as he smiled
"Sir?" ask Emerald as she couldn't make the obvious link
"Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight and of course Prince Shining and Flash and all the others royals as well" said Night as he proudly smiled at the growing royal family
"Of course! And its certain that Celestia and Luna will help" said Serene with an excited tone
"We just have to alert them" said Night
"How? We're only three and we need everypony to fight" said Emerald as she stared at Serene and Night
"I think I know" said Night
Cursed bought the royal family onto the royal balcony, the citizens of Cloud Kingdom watch has their royals were defeated and their new ruler took their place.
"Citizens! Your royal guards have fallen, your royals have fallen! And you shall fall as well and claim me as your new ruler!" shouted Cursed while he look down at the citizens
"NEVER" shouted a few ponies
"LIKE WE WOULD FOLLOW YOU!" shouted another group of ponies
"BECOME MY SERVANTS OR I'LL KILL THEM!" shouted Cursed as he lifted Elsie with his magic "Starting with the princess of Cloud Kingdom!"
Lightning and Snow made some muffled sound, and tried to escape their binds. Cursed easily saw this and removed their binds from their mouths, Cursed waited for their begging.
"Please don't!" shouted Lightning as she tried to look at Cursed
"And why shouldn't I?" ask Cursed as he enjoyed every moment
"Just please don't kill her" said Lightning
"A royal must die" said Cursed as he threw Elsie onto the ground
"Elsie! Are you alright?!" ask Snow as he tried to search for his daughter
"You do have a point, I princess is nothing comparing to a king and queen" said Cursed as he lifted both Lightning and Snow, Cursed undid the binds from the hooves and eyes. Cursed also removed the binds from Elsie and Noble's eyes and mouth, so they could see their parents die.
The citizens whispered, a few screams and cries of anger
"They'll listen once their hope is crushed" said Cursed as he created his deadly spell
Lightning and Snow look at each other
"I love you, Lightning" whispered Snow as he approached his hoof at her
"I love you too" said Lightning as she wrap her hoof around his
"MOM! DAD!" shouted both Elsie and Noble as they desperately tried to free themselves
"PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!" pleaded Elsie
"Don't look" said Lightning as she smiled at them
"We're proud of you both" said Snow as he also smiled at them
Elsie and Noble started to cry and just closed their eyes, Cursed prepared the final part of his spell. Cursed approach the fallen rulers with the citizens screams, trying to help but was holding back, Cursed was about to release his spell when suddenly he was kick in behind of the head. He quickly turned around and saw Serene and Emerald, standing in front of Elsie and Noble, who couldn't believe their eyes.
"Well, well, isn't it our prince and shining armour" said Cursed as she smiled at them
"Emerald" whispered Serene
"Right!" Emerald took out a smoke bomb from her saddle and threw it towards the ground, the smoke spread around the balcony and blinded Cursed for a short moment.
"What was that suppose to be?" ask Cursed while he moved the last bit of the smoke
"It wasn't suppose to distract you" said Emerald as she smiled at him
"What?!" Cursed suddenly heard very loud noise and could see smoke, appearing at the base of the castle. The doors quickly opened and Archmed came running onto the balcony, clearly out of breath.
"Canterlot and the crystal empire! They have broke through the main entrance and are working their way up!" shouted Archmed while he glance behind him
"HOW?!" demanded Cursed as he saw Canterlot and the empire's forces arriving from the distance
"Never attack one of the three kingdoms! Especially when I'm on duty!" shouted Serene, Celestia, Luna and Cadence landed behind him
"Release them" demanded Celestia
"Never!" said Cursed as he lifted Lightning over the balcony edges "Funny how wings could save your life so easily"
"LIGHTNING!" shouted Snow as he ran towards him but was pushed back
"You've lost! Your army is fallen and the kingdom is being freed, now let them go!" shouted Night as he flew down
"Night! I've still have your life in my hooves!" shouted Cursed as he activated his spell on Night's neck. Night immediately fell onto the ground, holding his neck in pain.
"We're forgotten to remove the spell!" shouted Cadence as she lit her horn in hopes to counteract it
"HURRY LUNA!" shouted Celestia
Luna surrounded Night's neck with her magic and fought against Cursed
"Your such a failure!" shouted Archmed as he flew towards Serene and Emerald
"AND YOU'RE A TRATIOR!" shouted Emerald and she kick him in the face, Archmed slammed against the wall. Archmed tired to stand but fell back down, Emerald walk towards him "That's it?! Your Archmed, captain of the elites and your already down?!"
"You're weaker than before" said Serene as he could clearly see, that Archmed skills and strength have become much weaker
'Cough, Cough'
"His sick" said Emerald as she back away
Archmed cough up some blood
"I…..I….I'….I've…..fallen" whispered Archmed as he fell onto the ground
"Useless!" shouted Cursed as he stare at his dead follower "He kept his illness from me"
"Because he knew what you would do!" shouted Serene as he walk towards them "He knows that you're a cold heated monster! Who doesn't care if he has to kill everypony in his way, in order to get whatever he wants!"
"ENOUGH!" shouted Cursed as he released some kind of spell. The spell pushed back Snow, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Night, Emerald, Elsie and Noble and binds them onto the wall.
"Thi…..this is like before in the cave!" said Night
"Give up, Serene" said Cursed
"Never!" shouted Serene
"Very well" Cursed turn around and faced Lightning
Cursed drop Lightning from his magic and let her fall towards the ground, Cadence, Celestia and Luna tired to free themselves but couldn't. Serene jump over the balcony and free fall towards, the falling queen. Serene managed to approach her and catch her by the skin on the neck, Serene quickly flapped his wings as hard as he could.
"Hold on!" mumbled Serene as he could feel his wings tiring
"I don't really have the choice" said Lightning as she saw the ground slowly getting smaller
Serene incredibly managed to pull Lightning over the balcony and in safety; he could hear the sigh of relief from the citizens. Serene turned around and saw Cursed with his deadly spell, slowly becoming its full power. Cursed approached Emerald, stuck to the walls, Serene rushed towards her and grab Cursed by the neck. Cursed tried to shake Serene off but wasn't able to, through the struggle. Cursed accidently release his small spell and directly hit Serene in the right eye, Serene fell off of Cursed and held his eye in pain.
"It's like hell, huh?" ask Cursed with a very annoyed tone, Serene could easily tell that Cursed wanted to finish him off "This kingdom is mine along with Canterlot and the empire and nopony will stop me!"
Blood fell from his right eye, Serene put his hoof down and away from his eye, Serene stood up and face Cursed. Serene wrench in pain but knew it wasn't the time, Cursed attack first, he expected Serene to dodge his attack but didn't think Serene would push both of them off the balcony.
"I'M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT YOU!" shouted Cursed as he held Serene close to him while the wind blew in his mane
Serene didn't says anything, he wrap his hooves around Cursed's and twisted them around. Managing to free his wings, Serene quickly flap his wings and just flew while Cursed was still holding onto him by the neck.
"You've have fallen!" Serene gave the coldest stare at Cursed, he lifted his hoof and smashed it into his face. Cursed finally broke free from Serene and fell onto the hard surface, Serene flew back onto the balcony and just collapse of fatigue and of losing too much blood from his eye.
"SERENE!" shouted Emerald as Cursed's spell disappeared, Emerald ran towards Serene and held his head. "Serene! Hold on!"
"Mom! Dad!" shouted Elsie and Noble as they ran towards their parents
"Thank goodness your both safe" said Lightning while being hug
"I thought you were going to die" said Elsie as tears fell from her eyes
"Me too" said Lightning
"Hold on!" shouted Luna as she activated her healing magic
"Son!" Night held Serene's hoof while Luna did her best to heal his right eye
"Serene! Don't die! Please don't die! I….I…L…..!" Emerald was shock to see Serene opening his left eye
"Em….Emerald you're alright" whispered Serene as he gave a small smile
"SERENE! SERENE! SERENE!" shouted the citizens as their proudly shouted a heroes name, the hero of the royal family, the glorious Serene is born.
