CHAPTER FIVE: FINAL BATTLE
In the main room, Shadow Star was so focused on her chanting and finishing the potion that would enable her to take the life force of the ponies that she was unaware of what was going on in the study – until she heard the door slam open.
"What the-?!" The evil unicorn spun around and was shocked to see Sunrise Blossom and Silver Star confronting her. "What? How?!"
"That's for us to know," said the orange unicorn, "and you to never find out. Now!"
Suddenly, there were small explosions around the room, with grey smoke rising and was making it impossible for Shadow Star to see anything, saved for brief flashes of green and/or silver light that she tried to fire at with her dark red magic, but she couldn't see or tell if she managed to hit either unicorn. Finally she used a spell to get rid of the smoke and was furious to see that her potion had been ruined, the chest containing the Elements of Harmony was missing, and so were the ponies.
"No! Not this time! I won't lose again!"
In a clear some distance from the cabin, Sunrise Blossom and Silver Star worked on giving the ponies the potion that would protect them from the Dusk-bloom Mist should Shadow Star try again, and once this was done, the orange unicorn then used her magic to do the spell to undo the Dusk-bloom Mist itself.
Twilight Sparkle was the first to recover and was looking honestly confused. "Wha- wait, what happen?"
"Shadow Star managed to catch us in a trap," Sunrise Blossom explained to her twin while their friends made sure that the fillies and foals were okay, and she gestured to Silver Star. "But thanks to help from Silver Star, we managed to get everypony out and given the potion to protect them from future use of the Dusk-bloom Mist."
"What about Shadow Star?" Rarity asked after making sure that Sweetie Belle was okay. "Where is she?"
"Probably hopping mad in the cabin," Rainbow Dash predicted while keeping a protective leg over Scootaloo's shoulders. "And she'll probably be coming after us."
"Oh no, what can we do?" Fluttershy wondered. "We can't fight her and protect the fillies at the same time."
Applejack nodded while hugging Apple Bloom. "Yer right, Fluttershy. We either to get the fillies back to Ponyville or face Shadow Star here and now."
"Um, I think I have something that can help," Silver Star offered hesitantly as the ponies looked at her questioningly. "I really don't know how it works, but-" She magically removed a white orb from one of the saddlebags. "-I've heard my aunt talk about these kinds of orbs before and how they're helpful in guiding others."
"A guiding orb!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed with a delighted smile, magically taking the orb from the blushing silver unicorn. "This will work perfectly, Silver Star, thank you." She and her twin then focused their magic on the orb until it was glowing brightly and it began floating away in the direction of Ponyville. "Ok, you fillies need to follow the guiding orb and it'll take you back to Ponyville."
"But, but I don't want to leave any of you," Apple Bloom protested.
"I know, sugarcube," Applejack agreed, hugging her sister again. "But ya all need to get going so we can stop that mean Shadow Star once and for all. And I'm counting on the Cutie Mark Crusaders to make sure that everypony gets out of here safely. Can ya do that for me?"
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all saluted. "Yes we can!" And they quickly herded their classmates, even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, after the guiding orb, disappearing from view very quickly.
"Wha do we do now?" Silver Star asked while glancing back in the direction of the cabin. "Because I think my aunt is going to come after us before long."
"And we'll be ready when she arrives," said Twilight Sparkle, using her magic to open the chest and retrieved the Elements of Harmony, giving them to their rightful owners. "For this is going to end today."
The words were no sooner out of the purple unicorn's mouth when there was an explosion of dark red light that forced the group to shield their eyes, and when it cleared, Shadow Star stood before them, glowing and she was furious!
"Did you really think that you could stop me?!" she shrieked as her horn glowed even brighter, her corrupted magic reacting to her anger. "I will win! I will rule Equestria!"
"No, aunt, you won't," Silver Star declared, confronting her aunt and her horn began glowing white as she summoned her own magic for the first time in years. "I won't let you hurt any pony else, and I won't let you hurt my friends!"
"Fine, niece," Shadow Star sneered. "Then I'll just do what I should've done years ago. Get rid of you!" She then fired a blast of corrupted magic at the silver unicorn.
"Whoa!" Silver Star yelped and managed to summon a shield, grunting when the dark magic collided with it, and she could see that her shield wasn't going to last very long as it was already starting to weaken and crack. "No!"
"Leave her alone!" Twilight Sparkle, Sunrise Blossom, and Rarity all shouted, combining their magic and fired a single blast that knocked the evil unicorn off her hoofs and into the nearest prickly bush.
Silver Star dropped the shield, panting. "I – I made a – a shield."
"Yes you did," Sunrise Blossom agreed, going to her side while the evil unicorn struggled to get free of the bush. "It was impressive for your first time, and now you need to let us stop your aunt once and for all, Silver Star."
"But, but I want to help," the silver unicorn insisted. "I want to help you all win this fight."
"You already have helped, darling," Rarity assured her. "And you can help more by getting to a safe place so we can finish what you've started."
When the other ponies agreed, Silver Star also agreed and hid herself behind a large rock some distance away, peering around it to watch.
Shadow Star blasted apart the bush and confronted the Mane Seven, her eyes were completely black and her magic was such a dark red, that it was nearly black. "You all will pay!" And she began firing beams of dark magic at the seven ponies, forcing them to dodge to avoid getting hit.
This went on for several minutes, with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flying around to avoid getting hit, Applejack and Pinkie Pie both dodging while throwing and bucking apples and water balloons at the evil unicorn, and Twilight Sparkle, Sunrise Blossom, and Rarity were also dodging the dark magic and firing back.
And as the fight continued, Silver Star frantically searched through the saddlebags, searching for something or anything that she could use to help her new friends stop her aunt once and for all. 'Come on, come on,' she thought, magically pulling out items and setting them aside. 'Come on, there has to be something I can do!'
She kept searching until she found a set of eight crystals and her eyes widened in shock, for they matched the colors of herself and the seven ponies. "Of course," she whispered, something clicking into place in her mind. "My aunt needed these in order to take our life forces. And if I'm right…" she trailed off, glancing toward the Elements of Harmony. "…they can be used to end this battle once and for all."
Silver Star then stood up and ran forward, just as Shadow Star was knocked backwards a second time, and positioned herself between her friends and her evil aunt.
"Silver Star, what're you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked, concerned and worried.
"Bringing this nightmare to an end," Silver Star responded and magically lifted the crystals into the air so that they were rotating in a circle. "Focus the power of the Elements of Harmony through this crystal circle!"
Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom stared at the rotating crystals and they realized that the silver unicorn was right. "Let's do it!"
The Mane Seven powered up the Elements of Harmony, floating into the air in a circle as their Elements combined their magics together, and they sent out a blast of magic toward the crystal circle. The crystals amplified the magic, making it even stronger, and then it shot straight toward Shadow Star, who tried to create a shield-
FLASH!
There was an explosion of light and sound, forcing the eight ponies to cover their ears and shield their eyes for several hour-long-seconds before both faded, and they were able to see and hear again. They stared in shock, for where Shadow Star had been standing, a baby pony instead.
"Oh, we turned her into a baby!" Pinkie Pie squealed, getting a blanket out of the saddlebag and wrapped baby Shadow Star up as she started to cry. "There, there, you're going to be all right."
"She can have a new chance of having a better life," Twilight Sparkle remarked, smiling.
"What what I expected to happen, but we won!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "And every pony is safe!"
It was finally over, and the former evil unicorn would now have a chance to grow up and become a better and nice pony.
