Chapter 57: a crazy and stupid idea
The mane 12 were holding there ground as they had there eyes on there target. Night shadow holding his ground as well as he had a sinister smile on his face.
"now come!" he shouted "show me what you twelve hold! Show me that you can somehow best me! Show me your power!".
Max and twilight gulped as they then opened there mouths.
"let's go!" they shouted in unison as they all charged at night shadow, "heh, you worthless fools" night shadow said under his breathe. As the mane 12 were within his range he then teleported out of the way. The mane 12 stopped as they looked around the area "dammit! Were did he go!?" Corey said.
The mane 12 then felt something grab hold of them as they then saw night shadow stand on the other side of them "hehehahaha! Did you really think that you could defeat an alicorn of descendant royal blood? Your all a bigger bunch of fools than I thought", he then shocks them as he keeps mocking them "to think that my worthless sister celestia would send her favorite pets to put me in my place, ha! The twelve of you will die when I'm through with you!".
As he kept shocking them twilight then user her magic as she freed herself and her friends. Night shadow only snickered at them "hehehe, well it looks like I was wrong" he said "it seems the twelve of you might keep me busy after all". Rainbow dash then flew at him "don't underestimate us pal!" she said as she charged at him, night shadow then held out his hoof as he made a sonic wave come out of it as it then hit rainbow dash and sent her plummeting to the floor.
"dashie!" Clayton shouted as he then ran at night shadow "you son of a bitch! I'll make you pay for hurting her!" he said as he raised his katana over his head. Night shadow yawned as he formed a cutlass sword with his magic as he countered clayton's attack.
Clayton then took another swing at him only for his blade to be countered again by night shadows sword "is this the best that you can do?" night shadow said. Clayton gritted his teeth as he then started swinging his sword at him trying to cut night shadow, night shadow only kept countering every single one of his attacks "dam you" Clayton said.
As night shadow was taking care of Clayton, jack and pinkie pie then ran at him from behind hoping to catch him off guard, "we got him now" jack thought as they were reaching up to his back. But before they could land a blow to his blind spot they were then frozen in place.
"what the? I can't move?" jack said.
"me neither Jacky" pinkie said as she tried to her best to move her body, night shadow then formed a giant armored gauntlet above them as he then let it fall onto the two. The others were stunned by this "jack! Pinkie pie!" Clayton shouted, this gave night shadow an opening as he slashed at clayton's chest.
"Clayton" rainbow dash said as she got up and flew over to him only to have night shadow teleport in front of her face as he then turned around and bucked her in the face as she hit he floor. Night shadow then lifted her up with his magic as he had his cutlass sword at her neck "how pitiful" he said "a pony caring for a human, makes me sick".
Just before he could slit rainbow dash's throat he was then caught off guard as he was hit in the back by dillon's windmill shuriken "got him!" dillon said as he then ran at him "fluttershy! You take him from above!" he said. "alright" fluttershy said as she flew over night shadow as high as she could, night shadow then made his eyes glow as he made an image of a giant spider appear in front of fluttershy.
Fluttershy quickly flew back down to then ground as she covered her face with her hoofs, night shadow then held her by the neck with his magic and started choking her. As soon as dillon grabbed hold of night shadow he then glanced over to see his wife being choked.
"fluttershy!" he said "hold on I'm com-" he was cut off as he felt his whole body being lifted up into the air "here let me help you get to her!" night shadow said as he threw him into fluttershy as the two flew into one of the glass pods.
Night shadow then glanced at the remaining three.
"now I just have to get rid of the six of you" he said. He then formed a scythe as he then raised it down at them, as the scythe was a about to hit them Corey then pushed the gang out of the way as they all missed the attack. Night shadow then lifted up the scythe as he then smiled evilly "you thought the twelve of you could beat me huh! You thought you had a chance!" he then transforms the scythe into chains as he uses them to capture sam and applejack pinning them to the celling. "guys" rarity and Corey yell as night shadow then stomps his hoof onto the floor creating a shockwave that launches the last four into some machinery parts.
Night shadow then looks to see Corey and rarity have been knocked out leaving only for him to take care of twilight and max. Night shadow then walks up to the last two as he smiles in his victory.
"now do you see the powers of a god?" he said "this is how powerful I truly am, not even celestia's most favorite little pets could stop me in my conquest. You have all failed". He then teleports the mane 12 above his head as he then throws all of them into the wall, he then sighs as he walks over to the large metal ring in the wall "since you twelve have failed in your mission to stop me. You now get to watch me as I destroy your wonderful little equestira" he said.
Twilight looks at max "max...I...I think night shadow is right...we can't beat him, we've failed everypony. He's...he's won" she said. Max glanced at night shadow then back at twilight as he moved his left hand next to her "no twilight" he said "I know we can do this".
"but how? You saw what he did to all of our friends, how can we defeat him?".
Max was thinking of an idea as fast as he could, he tried to think of something but nothing was coming to mind "I don't know twilight" max said "but...I know that were not gonna fail". Max then got to his knees as he and twilight helped up there friends. "you guys alright?" max asked them.
"yea...were gonna be ok" jack said.
"yup, that night shadow guy may have gotten us good. But that doesn't mean were not out of this fight just yet!" rainbow dash said. Sam and applejack agreed with her "rainbow dash is right! We can't give up now! Not like this!".
Jack then crossed his arms "so what do we do? How are we gonna stop night shadow?" jack asked hoping that someone would come up with a plan.
"I'll tell ya how were gonna defeat him!" Clayton said.
Everyone then turned to him "ok were all ears man, so what's the plan?" max said.
Clayton then pulled out his black kamina sunglasses as he put them on "heh, I'll tell yea how" he said as a grin came formed onto his face:
"were gonna COMBINE!".
