Celestia hated to have to do this to Twilight, but hopefully it would only get the evil out of her. As for Sombra, she didn't give a care in the world if he died.
As the crystals shot their magic at the couple, she watched as the light shined brighter and brighter. She knew that this would work, Sombra just didn't want to show that he was scared out of his wits. Celestia heard screams and shrieks just as the crystals finished. She knew it would work.

Rainbow Dash got up from the ground, eyeing Sombra and the mare that she thought was Twilight. A tear fell down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away. She should feel no mercy. She couldn't believe what Twilight has done. And to think that she would never give herself away to any stallion or possibly a mare. She was married to Sombra! Who would ever think that they would become a couple? Certainly not her.
Celestia landed next to Rainbow Dash, her eyes still locked on the two. They were both lying on the floor, one next to the other. Celestia dropped the elements to the floor and walked over to her sister. She was still in the same limp position she was in before. The older alicorn had hoped that she wasn't dead, but she let go of her hope. She knew that she was gone and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Rainbow... Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. She walked over to her friend and put a hoof on her shoulder. "Guys," Applejack started. "Rarity! She's still down there, y'all!"
The three mares raced downstairs and outside of the castle. Rainbow Dash flew the perimeter of the castle, searching for any signs of Rarity. She eventually spotted her. Blood was surrounding her and her eyes were wide open, filled with fear. The blue pegasus could already tell that another one of her friends was gone. Tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably. She couldn't help but fall to the ground and sob. Fluttershy and Applejack came galloping around the corner, trying to hold in their own tears. The three ponies gathered around cried.
