Chapter 9: Showdown at Canterlot Castle!

"Is this really Canterlot?" Shadow Twilight asks "It's all wrong!"

"That's due to Darkness' invasion" Twilight says

"Who the hay is Darkness?" Shadow Rainbow Dash asks

"Darkness is my Darkness..." Rage says "When I was young the darknes inside me was released and formed him..."

"Look out!" Lunar Relic yells as a large orb of energy hurls at the group. They notice it just in time to avoid it making it create a small hole in the ground.

"Who did that?" Shadow Rage asks

"I think I have a pretty good idea who..." Applejack grunts looking at the black hedgehog floating above them

"I should have known you'd find a way out of there you stubborn red punk!" Darkness growls

"So you finally decided to show yourself for a fight huh?" Shadow Applejack asks "From what I understand you are quite the runner"

"Silence! None of you have a chance on defeating me do you not know the only way is to use Chaos?" Darkness laughs "even then with my charged dark energy your chances are little to none!"

"If it's a fight you want it's a fight you will get!" Rage yells.

"Bah good luck getting to me!" he laughs floating into the air and into a large dark purple area that had been residing above Canterlot since the re-arrived in Equestira

(Music Start Excalibur Sonic Transformation~Sonic and the Black Knight)

The seven emeralds each appear one by one around the seven from the light Equestria as Rage uses their power transforming them into one of his favorite forms Hyper... the six others take on the same look from their Rainbow Transformations when the used the elements to try against Tirek. Rage took a variation of his hedgehog version... he was a light blue almost closer to a light cyan his mane flowed with energy glowing red and his eyes were purple glowing just as bright as his mane. "Lets do this!" he yells as they all use a high speed boost to fly into the area.

(Music switch: Boss Solaris Phase 2 [His World])

They all meet Darkness who had in front of him six Dark Spawns that where made to look like the mane 6. "let us see just how strong you really are..." he laughs

"alright this is it give it everything you've got!" Twilight says making the first move with a Magic bolt

Applejack bucks her dark copy but it fades to the shadows and mimics her attack from the side "Now that's just fighting dirty!" Applejack grunts standing back up. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was chasing after her's while avoiding the large balls of dark energy she kept getting thrown her way.

"If you have to use traps to slow me down then you have no speed at all you're just scared!" Rainbow yells as she forms a Sonic Rainboom catching her others and tackling her to the ground.

Fluttershy was having issues with her's since she was not the kind to fight... her dark version though she did not care at all she kept trying to strike Fluttershy.

"Oh for the love of Celestia Fluttershy you have to stand up for yourself!" Rarity says as she bucks Fluttershy's foe away from her

"sorry..." Fluttershy says shyly... meanwhile up with Rage and Darkness they were giving each other a stare down waiting for the other to make a move

"Chaos Lance!" Rage finally yells charging for Darkness who grabs him by the horn and throws him to the side

"Dark Ball!" he yells striking Rage with a ball of dark energy that explodes on impact.

"argh!" Rage grunts from the impact "That's it Darkness I am done playing around I hope they have enough glue for you in hell because when I am done with you it will take a lot to fix it!"

"We shell see about that!" Darkness laughs at him avoiding yet another strike

Soon the mane 6 where rid of there dark copies and they see Rage trying to take care of Darkness. Rage goes for another attack before getting struck again this time not getting up right away. The others see this and swiftly fly up to his aid

"Hay if you pick on Rage you pick on all of us!" Rainbow says assertivly

"You leave Rage alone you big meanie!" Fluttershy says in an angered tone

"Ugh how did you- Never mind it will end all the same!" Darkness laughs as he makes another large thing of energy

"No!" Rage yells jumping up and hitting him causing the ball to miss.

"You don't know when to give up do you Rage?" Darkness chuckles

"I never give up..." Rage pants "When I have my friends here with me I know we can do anything! You may not see it because your heart has been clouded by darkness but I know with our powers combined together we can defeat you Darkness!" Rage finally stands back up in front of his friends "Even if Chaos is not enough we have the Elements as well!" Rage says as they form a large field of energy before firing a large rainbow beam at their foe.

"Taste the Rainbow motherfucker!" Rainbow laughs as it hits Darkness. With a flash of light they are back in the throne room of Canterlot Castle with Darkness on his knees in front of them.

"You lose Darkness." Twilight says "I hope Tartarus isn't to gloomy for you..." she says as she throws him into a small square portal sending him to Tartarus. Rage then dispels their evergy changing them back as their Shadows approach them.

"We took care of his minions is he gone?" Shadow Applejack asks

"He's gone..." Twilight says after taking a deep breath. Soon two Princess Luna and Princess Celestia's approach them.

"Thanks to both groups here we have saved both Equestrias..." Celestia says

"If Darkness had not sent these seven to our world we may have never stood a chance..." Shadow Celestia says

"Well you should all return to your world..." Rage says "the rift is closing and soon it will be gone."

"I'm right we should go." Shadow Rage says "Good luck to you here." he says to the others

"and same to you." Twilight responds as they say goodby the shadow group dives into The Lake of Shadows the only other way to Shadow Equestria and it was silent...

"well we went a whole long quest without pinky breaking the 4th-" Rage begins to say but Pikny interupted

"I feel Like a magikarp not even my own shadow could do much! If I used splash I would have done something!" she wines

"Agh!" Twilight collapses "We were soooooooooo close!"

"Pinky..." Rage says giving her a glare "What did I say about the firggin forth wall?!"

Pinky pulls out a tape recorder and presses the play button...

"Ooo this caslte is soo spooky I bet it would make Simon Belmont soil his pants!" Pinky squeels

"Pinky!" Rage yells "Can you watch the 4th wall I don't think the others know who in blazes Simon Belmont is!"

"Oh right... sorry!" Pinky says with that the tape stops

"See all you told me to do was watch it!" she says

"Okay well let me rephrase it now... please for the love of all things Equestrian don't break the 4th wall again!" Rage sighs

"Okay!" she says with a large smile... Rage looked at her with a serious expression "Oh come on Rage lighten up you don't want to have a frown like Shadow the Hedgehog do you?" she says

"That's it!" Rage says "You're getting the duct tape!" Rage then quickly puts a large strip of duct tape over Pinky's mouth. "Now before she says something else please lets end it here!" Rage yells into the sky
