Chapter 9 (2/2)
A/N: Here we are, the second part of this epic battle. I'll try to explain what happens step-by-step in this battle, I want to make the reader feel like they're watching all of this happen.
...Tirevine was there. We're ready for this battle.
Tirevine used her shadow beam. I deflected it using shadow pulse.
Nightmare Moon used her spectral blast. Tirevine took minimal damage.
Rainbow Power Rainbow Dash used her sonic rainplosion. It stunned Tirevine.
Now's my chance, I grabbed Lethe & ran at breakneck speed. I then teleported behind Tirevine & lunged to her back, I started slashing at her. I could tell I was doing damage, because it sounded like i was hitting a rock with a hammer. Every slash was stronger than the last one. Tirevine knocked me off with a cosmic boom, launching me back at least twenty feet.
The Elements launched their Rainbow Blast, then Tirevine used her Dark Erupter Beam. The beams were equally powerful, there's no way they'll win without help...
I raced to were the Elements were & then used my most powerful magic beam: Shadow Perdition. It's still not enough!
"We're not going to make it!" Said Pinkie Pie.
"At least... I'm going down with my family..." I said, causing the Elements to look at me, then at Tirevine.
"We are not going to lose!" Said Rising Sun, as she combined her energy with Nightmare Moon & then they launched their most powerful beam: Midnight Sun Sacrament.
Our beams combined, forming an extremly powerful beam.
"No! How can this be!? My magic isn't strong enough?" Said Tirevine, taking a few steps back.
"Now it's time for the big finish." Said Cadence, then she used her most powerful attack: Heart Attack Afterburner.
Tirevine's magic beam was no match for our combined powers of Friendship. We're going to win this.
"Stay strong! We've got this!" I said, then Pinkie Pie said:
"Of course, Silly! The writer wants us to win, that's why this is so Fun!" She said, then I looked at her with confusion. Never could understand her...
After a few more seconds of fighting wits, Tirevine's magic was at it's lowest...
"How could you have beaten me?!" She asked.
"We have something to fight for Tirevine. And that: Is The power of Friendship. we fight for what's right, Tirevine. You will never win!" I said. The beam reached Tirevine & started causing major tremors. Tirevine's body was collapsing.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Tirevine as the magic keeping her together broke, leaving Twivine unconscious after the explosion.
I approached Twivine, then levitated her toward me...
"You could've stopped & I would have saved your life, but..." I stopped, then charged energy in my left arm until it was pulsing with energy.
"You beat me... I just can't believe you beat me..." She said, coughing up blood & laying her head down & waiting for her fate.
I lunged my arm at an incredible speed & strength. You could hear my arm tear completely through Twivine's chest. The sound was bone-crunching & disturbing to my ears... I then removed my arm, gazing on it, as it was covered in blood.
"Funny, never knew gods could bleed." I said, then wiped the blood on the ground & looked at Twivine, still barely alive.
"You think you've won? *Cough, cough* You think just because I'm dead, now you'll be better off? Wrong... This has... only... begun..." Said Twivine, then she sighed & passed, leaving her body as lifeless as a brick... I dropped her body, but I knew, even though she caused too much death, even beings like her deserve a funeral...
I walked over to my friends with Twivine's body on my right shoulder.
"What are you going to do with the body?" Asked Rainbow Dash, as she noticed the hole in its' chest, then puked at the sight, followed short by Fluttershy, who fainted.
"That's one creepy hole, how'd ya'll get yer arm all bloody?" Asked Applejack.
"I made that hole with this arm." I said as I kept walking next to my friends & the princesses to the nearest tree.
I placed the body leaning on the tree & materialized a note:
Here lies the Godess of Dark Friendship.
Woe on those who tread near...
I placed the note on the tree & got a shovel... Rarity helped me dig the hole, Rainbow Dash & Applejack placed the body in the hole, then Pinkie Pie & Twilight sealed the hole with some dirt, grass & a few flower seeds.
"At least I hope she gets more comfort in death then she did in life..." I said, then headed toward my house, but Pinkie Pie stopped me (It's been ten minutes since their Rainbow Power left & the princesses reverted to their normal form, as well as I, who no longer need the power of Darkness, for now...
"Daemo, lookie over there..." Said Pinkie Pie, then I looked, to find a weird portal close to Twivine's burial spot...
"Daemo, there you are." Said Sora, on the other side of the portal.
"Sora. Riku. How'd you find me?" I said, getting closer to the portal.
"We found this nice portal spell & Mickey helped us cast it. We're here to take you home, Daemo." Said Sora, then he extended his hand...
I recahed for it, but then I had a weird feeling & looked back, noticing Twilight, her friends, the princesses & Scootaloo, who was hiding in a trash can nearby...
"Sora... I appreciate the offer... But..." I stopped, then walked towards Twilight & her friends & then faced Sora.
"You are home..." Said Riku, then he took a good at Twilight.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Asked Twilight, then I chuckled.
"No. I was just watching a few things, such as those nice wings." Said Riku, then Twilight blushed.
"Seems I can't change your mind, Daemo... Do you really want to stay here?" Asked Sora.
"Yes. This is my home. And this..." I said, pointing to all my pony friends.
"Is my Family." I said, then they all started hugging me. I almost friggin' died from lack of oxigen & extreme cuteness.
"Alright Daemo. Take care... Remember, if you ever change your mind..." Said Riku.
"I know where to find you." I said, then I as well as everyone else waved while the portal closed.
"Hmm. That human's hair. It was interesting. Light purple is a nice shade. His vest looked cool too." Said Twilight, talking about Riku (somehow, this feels weird, listening to Twilight talk about Riku for one reason, I only wish I knew why)
I heard footsteps & saw this little dragon running our way.
"Twilight. You're okay!" He said, then hugged Twilight & then tightly hugged Rarity.
"Oh Spikey-Wikey. You're safe." Said Rarity, then kissed him on the cheek.
"So. Your name must be Spike." I said, then I extended my right arm to him.
"You're that human Twilight kept talking about. Daemo, right?" He said, then extended his claw.
I shook it, then put my hands in my pockets.
"That's my name, don't wear it out. So, what now?" I asked nobody in particular.
"Meet us in Canterlot in twelve hours. We have something planned for all of you." Said Celestia, then she & Luna headed to Canterlot, but not before Luna gave me a big hug, I then told her.
"Thank you, for not losing faith in me. I... I... I can't thank you enough..." I said, then Luna & I looked at eachothers' eyes.
"Maybe thou could repay us this way..." Said Luna, then suddenly kissed me deeply.
Every pony around us was watching with an awkward look, except for Pinkie, who was looking at her hoor at that time. I then waited for her to remove her lips from mine. Once she did, I spoke:
"That was unexpected... Uh... I'm going home..." I said, then started walking home, but once I caught a glimpse of it, I knelt down in front of the rubble.
"Oh Come On! this is just too Cliché for my style! Now where am I going to sleep?" I said, getting a tone of disappointment.
"Do not fret, my dear friend. Thou can reside in our castle." Said Luna, then Celestia raised her eyebrow.
"Hmm. Well I gues... Only until my house is rebuilt." I said, then got up & started flying with Celestia & Luna to Canterlot. On our way, we noticed some burned down houses in the streets & in Canterlot, but the castle was mostly intact.
"We're here. At least it looks intact." Said Celestia, then started looking at me with dagger eyes.
I felt a shiver up my spine & decided to talk:
"Where am I going to sleep again?" I asked, winning Celestia & Luna's attention.
"You shall reside in the royal room of the night. If it is no bother to you." Said Luna, getting a feint blush.
"Uh, sure. I don't mind." I said, then I heard Celestia's voice in my head.
"Think of anything funny & I'll rip your head off..." She said in my mind...
A/N: Damn, Celestia is really a bitch when it comes to these things. At least I gets a roof over my head. Alright guys, I hope you, the reader, are enjoying this story as well as some hints I left for something... special. Stay Beautiful.
