Chapter 10 : Live, Laugh and Love
Well here it is the first major battle scene in this fanfic and I surprisingly like how it turned out and I so love how I finished this one. Enjoy
The residents of Ponyvile ran in terror as the clashing of good and evil spread through the town anypony that got too close was instantly teleported far away from the battle "what's happening" Twilight shouted over the roars of battle
Discord summoned a pair of binoculars and pointed then at the battle "Light's holding his own against Dusk" he said trying to keep up with their speed "they both seem to have a unlimited power supply" he said in amazement
Rainbow Dash stuck her head in front of the binoculars "that's good, isn't it?" she asked looking through the wrong side
Discord poodles away the binoculars in annoyance "it would be if Light wasn't using his magic up quicker than Dusk" he said with his eyes locked with the cyan pegasus'
Applejack pulled Rainbow to the ground "because he's saving the other ponies in town from getting hurt?" she asked pushing Rainbow out of the way
The dragoneques tried not to get distracted by Rainbow "exactly and if he doesn't defeat Dusk soon we'll be back to square one again" he said with a worried tone
In the distance Dusk and Light's magical collision could be seen over and over there powers colliding with every strike "You Can't Win If You Keep Saving Other Ponies Light" Dusk said with an evil laugh
Light glared at the parasite "I don't care if I lose my chances to win I Will Not Let You Harm Anypony Else" Light said fighting back but every strike more ponies were sent away and more magical power was used by both parties. Light knew that if he had any chance to win he'd need the help of the elements so he flung a powerful chaotic magic ball at Dusk and when it hit it knocked him unconscious allowing Light to return to the others
Fluttershy eyes lit up with happiness "Light your back, are you hurt? is it over?" she said running up to her brother
Light smiled at his sister but shock his head "no and no little Flutters but we may have a chance if we can figure out a way to stop him" he said looking towards everypony else
Twilight looked at him in disbelief "but we've tried that and we couldn't find a single thing" she said waving her arms at him
Light looked blankly at the alicorn "yeah I know but it's the only chance we've got he'll only be down for a few minutes" he said with his hoof scratching the back of his neck
Sunset raised her eyebrows at him "that's not much time" she said with a slight annoyance
The grey pegasai let out a huff "I know but it's all I could do with the magic I have left" he said standing up to the orange unicorn
Applejack stepped in between the two ponies "ok so let's go by what we know" she said pushing the two apart
Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrows "and that is?" she asked with annoyance
Rarity stepped forward inspecting the new stallion "well it's been difficult to hurt him this whole time that's for sure darlings... Hmm not bad, not bad at all" she said eyeing up Light
Discord appeared in between Light and Rairty "she's right and the only significant damage done to him was when Light exploded out from inside him" he said pointing to the featherless pegasus
Twilight teleported over to them "that's it! Light what did you do to get out" she asked the pony
Light looked at her in surprise "I don't know I saw Dusk try to kill Flutters and I just started to break free, I'm not sure how I just didn't want to see her hurt" he said with a confused look in his face
Discord rolled his eyes "oh boy do I know that feeling, we always want to protect the ones we love huh" he said nudging Light's shoulder
The pegasus laughed with Discord for a moment "Wait..." he began to think about his words "The ones we love!?..." suddenly a spark flickered in the corner of his eyes "Oh oh no way ooooohhhhh you have got to be kidding me ha ha haha" he laughed away in glee
Light ran over to Pinkie and picked her up spinning her around with a giant smile on his face "oh Pinkster you are brilliant purely brilliant" he said laughing away "I don't know whats going on but... I'm flying without wings haha" Pinkie laughed with him
Rainbow Dash flew over to the two "ok what in the hay is going on" she said with a puzzled look on his face
Twilight raised her eyebrows and sighed "I think he's finally gone insane" she said blankly
Light appeared next to her patting her mane "haha quite the opposite my little alicorn I've finally gone sane" he said flying above her head and looking at her upside down
Sunset walked over to him as he flew above "ok what do you mean" she said pointing her hoof at him
The grey stallion landed just in front of her "I mean I've finally figured out how to beat him" she said with a large smile and a chuckle
Everyone stared at him with surprised looks on there faces but none could say a word, none except Apple jack who shook of her surprised look and turned to him "How?" she said with intrigue
Light just smiled at the mare "I'll get to that in a minute but first let me give you something" he placed his hoofs together and concentrated his magic into them then I as flash it dispersed towards the elements of harmony and as it entered each of them all their wounds healed in an instant and light was given back into their eyes back into their eyes
"what did ya..." Applejack tried to ask before Light interrupted her "I just gave you enough magical power to use the elements one more time" he said with a grin
Twilight looked at the grinning stallion in astonishment "but why?" she asked the pony with confusion
Light tilted his head still with the grin on his face "because it's the only way we can win" he said with a gleeful tone
Suddenly Dusk materialised out of the shadows awake and angry "well now that wasn't very Nice Light" he said his dark voice echoing through town once more
The grey stallion turned around to see Dusk "oh great.." he said gritting his teeth, then he turned back to the others "Hey alicorn" he said directly to Twilight "yeah" she said in suspicion
"charge the elements now" Light said glaring towards Dusk "and fire when I tell you" he said to the mare
"but..." Twilight said trying to argue with him but she was stopped "Just Do It NOW!" Light shouted at Twilight with anger filled eyes shooting into her "o..ok" she said with a bit of fear in her voice "Girls You Ready?" she asked the others around her
Rainbow Dash flew into the air "One Last Ditch Effort" she said clapping her hoofs together "Yeah You Know I'm In" she said with a courageous smile
Applejack scuffed her feet on the floor "We're Always With You Sugar" she said with a wink as she tipped her hat down a bit
Rarity swished her now clean mane behind her head "Let's Do This Darlings" she said puffing up her mane with her hoof
Pinkie Pie just hoped on the spot with a huge smile on her face "Okie Dokie Lokie" she said in a surprisingly cheerful tone
Sunset Shimmer turned to the alicorn with a smile "We're With You Twilight" she said nodding her head at the mare
Fluttershy looked towards the battle "Ok let's do this" she said with a shaking tone "to save Equestria and my Brother" she said in a slightly more courageous voice
Discord clicked his fingers making a cloak and wizards hat appear on his person "I'll help you charge up the magic" he said with a encouraging smile
Screwball created a smaller version of her fathers outfit "let me help to daddy" she said looking up at him with quivering eyes
The dragoneques looked into his daughters eyes "ah..." he couldn't say no to her cute lest face "ok Screwie but when I tell you to stop you stop Got It" he said with a stern voice to which Screwball nodded
Light smiled at the others eagerness then turned to Dusk "Good, Now shall we continue this dance" he said with a fiery glow in his eyes
Dusk grinned back at the pegasus "I'd be happy to if it means your death" he said with a eager and dark tone of voice
Light and Dusk lunged for each other continuing the fight they had started twenty five years ago, as they fought Twilight could be heard listing the elements off in the background "Honesty" and with each one she listed the corresponding element glowed first was Applejack's orange gem shaped like an apple
Dusk kept hitting Light who could barely wristband each hit "do you really think those Useless Elements Will Defeat Me" he said swinging at Light with full force
Light managed to grab Dusk's hoof and glared directly into his dark red eyes "yes I do" he said with a smile pushing his hoof back to Dusk
Twilight kept listing the elements "Kindness" she said making the butterfly shaped pink gem around Fluttershy's neck glow
Dusk smiled at Light "you've lost your power trying to give them a chance to hurt me, but it'll never work" he said throwing continuous punches
Light tried to block every one of his punches but couldn't even block half nevertheless he kept smiling "it will Dusk and do you wanna know why" he said with a large grin
"Laughter" Twilight said making Pinkie Pie's sky blue gem shaped like a balloon glow like the others
Dusk kept throwing punches but was growing angry with Light's persistence "WHY!?" he screamed as he pinned Light to the ground but still all he did was smile with a gentle fire burning in his eyes "because they have something you lack" he said kicking Dusk of him with his hind legs
"Generosity" Twilight said as the purple diamond shaped gem around Rarity's neck glowed as well
Dusk laughed as he landed on the ground "hah I have everything, power, knowledge and I am unstoppable I don't lack ANYTHING" he shouted at Light with his dark aura growing larger and larger
But the grey pegasus looked on and smiled, not a single ounce of fear was in his eyes he was more courageous than ever "you do lack something, something everypony searches for in there life" and within seconds he appeared in front of Dusk and punched him straight into a wall "Love" he said with a smirk
Twilight continued her list in the background "Loyalty" she said causing the red lightning bolt shaped gem to glow around Rainbow Dash's neck
Dusk tried to get out of the wall but was pinned back by Light "they each have love in their hearts a love that will never die out" he said right in Dusk's face which was growing increasingly more aggressive
Twilight opened her eyes to reveal them to be completely white "Forgiveness" she said and as she did the yellow gem shaped like the burning sun around Sunset Shimmer's neck glowed like the others
Dusk threw Light off of him and as he landed he looked up with the same courageous look blazing in his eyes "that's what keeps them strong, that's what keeps them going" he said standing tall and facing a dark parasite without a single ounce of fear
The glowing elements shot their lights at the crown on Twilight's head "And Magic" she said as the purple gem in her crown shone like a rainbow
Light looked back with a grin then turned to Dusk once more "and That is What Will Destroy You!" he said with hope in his eyes "DO IT NOW!" he cried out towards the mares and
suddenly a rainbow coloured light shot out from the crown atop Twilight's head and flew through the air straight towards Dusk
Dusk stood his ground not fearing the power of the elements "do you really believe having me shot with those useless stones will destroy me" he laughed at Light as the beam drew closer
Light looked at him with surprise "Oh you thought they were aiming at you" he smiled as his eyes glowed a brilliant yellow "Well Sorry To Disappoint You But, It's Not For YOU!" he said suddenly jumping in front of the rainbow coloured beam
"Let Me Show You What Those Useless Stones Can Do!" Light said as the beam hit him and all the mares plus Discord, Spike and Screwball stared on in shock and shouted out in fear and surprise "LIGHT!"
As the beam surrounded Light's body he smiled with courage and fearlessness as his cutie mark, hind legs and left foreleg began to glow glow in the rainbow light. A golden light enveloped his left foreleg forming a golden band around it and in the centre of that band was a pure white gemstone in the shape of a shield. The wings on his cutie mark began to open revealing a shield with a heart etched into the centre and beneath it Lights legs had transformed from that of a ponies into that of a wolfs growing longer and furrier with sharp claws at the toes and enough joints to help him stand on them, as the other elements looked on in wonder at what had just happened the rainbow light finally vanished and Light stood up utilising his new legs and looked straight at Dusk with his glowing golden eyes as his powerful magic surged to his heart and he began to speak with his soothing and fearless voice "Now then Dusk let me show you what the Element of Love can do"
