Darkness, a type of energy that can destroy the wills of the strongest of heroes. Or make them evil. And these two are no exceptions. Cynder, the terror of the skies. And Luna, the Mare in the moon.
Cynder:
Background:
Long ago, there was a prophecy of a dragon that would bring peace into the world. It was a purple dragon. And one day a purple dragon was born, and he was….not Spyro. Instead it was Malefor. Who may have started off like Spyro. But the praise he most likely got made him believe he was invincible. So he decided to destroy the world and reform it in his own info. However he was stopped and banished before he could do anything. Fast forward some time later and Malefor's forces broke into the palace full of eggs and stole one of them. And she was raised by them, along with being trained. And she did a pretty good job. But she was manipulated by them, and Malefor added the finishing touches by using his magic to force her to grow up and become vicious. This was the terror of the skies. But after Spyro came in, he undid the dark master's handy work. Returning her to normal. He took her back and after some bull shit story arcs Cynder finally got her turn to help out.
Powers and Abilities:
While Cynder lost most of her abilities when Spyro cured her, she got some pretty sweet perks from the dark elements. She has elements created by magic which are uncommon for a dragon to possess. And these elements are poison, fear, wind, and shadow. With poison she can fire poisonous green blobs, sting people like a scorpion, or strike with toxic melee attacks. Fear is a powerful blast of energy that is incredibly powerful, along with the ability to stun enemies with fear. With wind she can cause enemies to levitate off the ground, create tornados, or push them around. The shadow element allows her to turn into a shadow to avoid attacks, surprise them, breathe a dark shadow to suffocate foes, or mind control them. And with some experience with the undead element she can put ghosts behind her trail to cause extra damage. She has some control of electricity, capable of summoning huge blasts from the sky. She has great melee skills. Preferring speed, agility, and evasiveness over power. She has wings, and knows how to use them. She is not only more likely to have superior speed when compared to Spyro, but also a superior use of magic for her breaths. But her ultimate ability is her Aether. A type a magic that combines everything she's got. Better known as, the convexity breath. And there are two versions of this technique. The dark and light. It is highly likely that she possesses the dark element, due to her being infused with Malefor's dark convexity to turn her into the terror of the skies.
Feats:
Cynder is a skilled combatant. She can hold her own in arena battles, battle spyro, defeat some skylanders, and help out on several occasions.
Weaknesses:
However she is a smart ilac, always finding something to complain about during a fight. She isn't much of a people person either. If you remind her of her past she will backlash in anger or be tortured by it. Along with her usually needing outside help in fights. But the real downside is her limited use of breaths. Once she runs out of magic, she can only use the dark lightning or shadow sneak. And she can only refill with green crystals, if there are any to begin with. However that's not her worst weakness. As her greatest one is she is especially vulnerable to corruption, manipulation, mind control, or brainwashing.
But still, while not as powerful as she once was, Cynder is still a force to be reckoned with.
Luna
Background:
Long ago, approximately 1000 years(give or take), there were two ponies. Princess Luna and princess Celestia. Celestia ruled the day when her younger sister was given the night. But she wasn't too happy as no one was around during the night, making her grow jealous over time. And this built up to turn her into the corrupted being known as Nightmare Moon. She attempted to cover the whole world in an eternal night, SUCK IT SPYRO!(BTW IDC what you say. Eternal Night ripped it off.) But was stopped by Celestia, and banished her to the moon. However that works. And after coming back, along with being purified, she returned to normal. And she made some amends with her sister. But she does some back every now and then.
Powers and abilities:
She is a powerful pony...if you've seen the show you should be all like, no shit. She has the power of flight, capable of attack speeds of mach 37,654. Along with some really good magic. She can control the moon at will. She even has some weather manipulation to attack with electricity. Along with the ability to manipulate dreams. She even has some telekinesis, enforced magic powers, and bring inanimate objects to life. But she's even more powerful as Nightmare Moon. With this form she gains abilities like transform into mist or shadow volts, manipulate the battlefield to gain an upper hand, and a great range of thousands of kilometers. But she has superhuman strength and a city level durability. She is a pretty wise as well. She can even manipulate creatures in the environment, along with being immune to mind attacks.
Feats:
Nightmare Moon could wipe out Celestia and her guards effortlessly, smash rocks by stomping her hooves, and even banish Celestia to the moon in an alternate world.
Weaknesses:
However she isn't much of a people person. Along with occasionally having a short fuse. She is especially weak to the power of…..uuuugh….friendship…..that is soooooo lame. She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, having little knowledge of things like dragons for instance. Along with having little to no combat experience.
But who needs experience when you got power….right?
The Battle:
This fight will take place in Equestria with ZERO prep time or knowledge of each other. And with that said...it's time FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
In a valley Cynder takes out some trolls and apes. But the resulting damage is devastating. Cynder shrugs it off and is about to fly away until Luna comes in and stops her. Cynder is surprised by her and asks,"What do you want?"
"I hope you're ready to explain yourself fiend," Luna tells her. Cynder doesn't take it too lightly and snaps back saying,"FIEND?! I just took care of your problem, so you're welcome."
"Took care of it?," Luna says,"Just look around you. Now come quietly or I'll make you."
Cynder is puzzled by this threat, coming from a pony to a dragon. "You?" she says,"Oh whatcha gonna do, destroy me with your cuteness?" Luna doesn't take it too kindly and then gets ready,"Well well well, I guess I need to fix you first."
Luna fires a beam at Cynder which she avoids easily. Cynder then uses shadow to to sneak past her after she attempts to blast her again. Cynder jumps out and continues to beat her with some short range combat. She then begins to fly and summon lightning from the sky to shock Luna. Luna gets up and begins manipulating the weather to try to hit Cynder in the sky. Cynder uses fear to blast Luna. After getting up from more physical attacks she takes flight after Cynder. The two begin clashing sometimes but Cynder uses her shadow to fire shadow fire which Luna counters with her weather manipulation. Cynder uses the wind element to make a tornado which gets Luna inside and knocks her around. When Luna gets on the ground she uses telekinesis to throw some rocks at Cynder. Cynder uses fear to smash them. When Cynder gets in close Luna uses her magic beam to blast her. Cynder gets some good footing again, but then Luna throws some more boulders at Cynder and flies up to smash her. They get in more combat which changes to a clash between Luna's magic and Cynder's shadow fire. CYnder starts to lose it but changes tactics to shadow to avoid the attack. And then the ghost trail gets Luna off guard and leads to her being knocked down to the ground. Cynder flies down and says,"Not as tough as you were leading me to believe. Too bad, I thought you would put up a fight. But I never should get my hopes up with a cute pony." These insults makes Luna go into Nightmare Moon. Cynder turns around confused. She sees that Luna underwent a transformation, she smiles and decides to stick around. Cynder charges forward with the poison in her tail, but Nightmare Moon uses her mist transformation to make Cynder go through the attack. Cynder doesn't understand how this happened. She decides to go and fight again but Nightmare Moon avoids the attack, followed by the ground manipulation to catch Cynder and tosses her to the sky. Then by using the weather manipulation she shocks Cynder. Luna gets up to Cynder, who then uses her Aether to battle Nightmare Moon. But Nightmare Moon uses her energy beam to battle it. The two beams clash, going into a long battle of two powerful forces. However Cynder's Aether runs out, leaving her open. "Uh...oh…," she says. Nightmare Moon then knocks her with her Energy beam, sending Cynder down to the ground. But before Cynder could land the ground is turned into an array of spikes. Cynder is impaled upon impact, killing her. Nightmare Moon revives her and makes her one of her guards.
Reasoning:
That can't be good… well before the Spyro fans come at my door, let me explain. While Cynder has more combat experience and their speed is around the same, that's about the only edge she had… Luna outclassed her everywhere else. Luna's magic was way more powerful and plentiful than Cynder's temporary elements. However Cynder's shadow element can allow her to avoid attacks with good evasiveness, it could only delay the inevitable. And Cynder's attitude would piss Luna off bad enough to enter the Nightmare Moon. Who could defeat her sister and smash rocks by stomping her hooves. So Luna is more powerful in both forms, but what really won out was the ability of weather/area manipulation. And Cynder couldn't avoid all attacks coming at her from all angles. Well, this fate from Nightmare Moon is better I guess. She could've been turned to cinders and ashes.(That was a horrible pun)
The winner is Luna.
Next time it'll be a battle between two shapeshifting monsters. Who will literally tear the other up, Alex Mercer VS Carnage.
