Chapter 11

The Beginning of the End

"I can't believe he did that! Why would Spike do that, he's going to get himself killed." shouted Rainbow who had regained consciousness.

"I don't know why Spike chose to risk his life but you need to calm down." replied Twilight.

"CALM DOWN WHY SHOULD I CALM DOWN JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY SO!"

"No, because you're scaring Fluttershy."

"OH YEAH, WELL I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU! FLUTTERSHY JUST TOUGHEN UP AND QUIT BEING SUCH A FUCKING DOOR MAT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE, I AM GOING TO WALK ALL OVER YOU!" Then Fluttershy runs away crying, while Rainbow Dash began growing taller, her mane and tail became more and more like Nightmare Rarity and Nightmare Moon's. Rainbows wings also get bigger; her voice changes to a more demonic one and finally her pupils became slits. "You know what I'm going to join Prince Necro because he is the true heir to the Crystal empire throne, bye see you never you worthless pieces of shit. Oh and here is my parting gift." Rainbow then sent a tornado towards them and said "From now on my name is MIDNIGHT RAINBOW!"

Three Hours Later

Spike and Striker touched down right by the group they were both shocked at how much destruction Midnight Rainbow had caused, when they saw what happened to their friends they rushed to them Striker was still in his dragon form to show them that Flare was no longer a threat to them. Striker asked Lu "Lu are you okay."

"Yeah I'm okay Striker… wait Striker your back you beat Flare!" said Lu.

"No not really but Flare and I managed to make an agreement."

"And what was that agreement?"

"It was that I would help him get revenge on Necro and he would help me when I need him."

"So Flare is still there but you're in control right now while Flare is sitting on the sidelines."

"Eeyup."

"So now Flare is on our side." a voice said.

Striker then turned around and saw the rest of the elements of unity when he looked to Enigma and saw that he had a golden circle shield with the element of Strength embedded in the center of it, on his left arm, "So I see that you got your element of Unity, I know that you will do your best to honor the element you represent. Let me guess all of you heard everything about Flare and the deal we made."

"Yeah, we did." answered Jo.

"I'm glad that you and Flare were able to make peace with each other." said Zephra.

Striker then changed to Flare and said "Just so that everypony knows it's the beginning of the end."

"Why do you say that?" asked Twilight.

"Because Necro has the allies of Tirek, Queen Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon and thanks to me he now has the Midnight Rainbow on his side."

"Why is it your fault that Rainbow turned into a nightmare?" asked Fluttershy.

"Because when I stabbed her I injected the 'Nightmare Virus' into her bloodstream and it's what caused Rarity and Luna to turn into Nightmares."

Twilight then asked "Well is there a cure for it?"

Flare changed back into Striker and said "The only known cure is to shoot her heart with a shard from the tree of Unity."

Meanwhile at Prince Necro's Fortress

Midnight Rainbow had arrived and had already joined Necro's growing number of allies "Now is the time to strike and Equestria will be ours ATTACK!" Necro declared.

"Now my children take to the skies!" ordered Chrysalis.

Meanwhile with the group

"It seems that we are already too late." said Spike, looking skyward then the rest of them turned their gaze to the sky.

"The invasion has begun." stated Striker solemnly.

"Wait didn't your dad say that there are seven elements of Unity." stated Pinkie.

"Yeah, there are seven elements, but the secret to finding the bearer is in the answer to this riddle 'To find the seventh element one must be willing to make the Ultimate Sacrifice for the ones they love, only then will the final element be revealed.' so all we have to do is just answer this riddle."

"Okay and while we just sit here and think Equestria is being invaded, I don't know about you, but I'm not going to just sit here and wait, we need to get back to the Tree of Unity so we can save Rainbow Dash." declared Jo, and just as they were about to leave a contingent of 30 changelings landed and surrounded them. "Looks like they aren't going to be making it easy for us, let's see what they got."

Then AJ, Enigma, Fire Ruby, Fluffy, Gilded Wing and Flare Blitz (with the power bonus of Striker) they attacked five changeling soldiers each.

AJ and Enigma decided to fight them until they were either unable to move or unconscious, while Fluffy, Fire Ruby and Gilded Wing focused on injuring them till they couldn't move without feeling pain, but pain wasn't enough for Flare he just straight up killed them without remorse.

While AJ bucked the changelings Enigma rammed them with his shield knocking them out. Fluffy was clawing them so that they couldn't move, Gilded Wing just simply clipped their wings with her wing blades and Fire Ruby just bashed them on the head with his pickaxes. Flare used the combined powers of fire, ice and darkness to create two swords; the hilts were ice, the blades were darkness and were engulfed in fire. Then a changeling charged him from the front Flare shredded him like confetti, next one tried doing a sneak attack she got sliced into quarters, then two tried to rush him they both got their heads slashed, finally the last changeling got killed in the most gruesome and bloody way imaginable.

"Now let's get out of here!" declared Art.

Elsewhere

"Yes, go my son conquer Equestria so that I may be freed from the imprisonment of the Crystal Heart." said a dark and demonic voice from within the Crystal Heart.

Author's Note:

Author: Finally it's done.

Flare: That took some time.

Author: Sorry it took so long it's just that I'm in my graduating year of high school and I've got to write a +1400 word essay for my Mennonite History class.

Flare: Don't forget that you have a second story to work on.

Author: And with Christmas coming up I have a lot of homework to do, so don't worry about this story being canceled because it still has a long way to go.

Flare: We're planning on having it be at least 20 chapters long, so we'll see you all next time, bye.
