Dimension: My Little Pony
Planet: Equestria Earth
Specific Location: Canterlot Gardens
Time: Seven days after the arrival of Flaming Star
Flaming Star opened his eyes and looked around. He was outside. His memories returned as he remembered going out to enjoy the night sky. Looking to his left, his eyes fell on Twilight, who was peacefully sleeping next to him. He was about to go back to sleep when Sunset trotted in with Fluttershy. Flaming Star immediately attempted to fake sleep, but Sunset cantered up and began to poke him in the chest.
"Nice try, firstborn. I need to talk to you."
Flaming Star groaned. "Can't this wait until some other time? Twilight is still asleep!"
Twilight then spoke, "Oh, I'm awake; I've just been enjoying your company and the sunlight."
Flaming Star groaned and rolled over. He looked up. "Well?"
Sunset smiled. "Regal Crescent has gotten back together with Princess Luna, all is well."
Flaming Star rolled back over and closed his eyes. "Great. Yay. Can I go back to sleep?"
Twilight on the other hand, got up and said, "That's wonderful! Has Regal Crescent really changed?"
Sunset frowned. "I think so. From my time talking with him, I think he's just scared now. It's like he lost the only thing that protected him from the outside world, and now he is exposed like a nerve. But I think he's getting better."
With that, Regal Crescent and Luna trotted in. Flaming Star groaned loudly, "Why don't we just invite all of Equestria in here? I'm sure it would increase my ability to sleep tenfold."
Regal Crescent smiled, the first time in a long time. "I understand, firstborn," he said, "I just wanted you to know that I am really grateful for the advice you gave me yesterday."
Flaming Star got up. "No problem. So, since I'm up, what's next?"
Suddenly Rainbow Dash landed in their midst.
She was breathing hard.
"Sunset!" she yelled, "Demons! In Ponyville!"
Sunset's eyes widened in horror. Flaming Star raced over, and Regal Crescent groaned.
"It's Legion, isn't it?" the black unicorn sighed.
Rainbow Dash, still gasping in breaths said, "I don't know. He's huge! Covered in armor!"
Flaming Star nodded. "It's Legion. Regal Crescent, Sunset, on me. We need to take him out before anypony is killed."
With that, the three began to take to the air, suddenly, Luna called out, "No! Regal Crescent!"
Regal Crescent looked at Flaming Star, who nodded. He went back as Sunset and Flaming Star were joined by Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy.
"What if something happens to you?" said Luna, her eyes wide with terror.
Regal Crescent shook his head. "Nothing will probably happen to me, my love. And even if something did, I will always be with you. In here." He covered his heart. With that, he turned around and said, "Get Princess Celestia, we will need you two."
With that, Sunset, Flaming Star, Regal Crescent, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Fluttershy began to fly away. The group was suddenly enveloped in a bubble of energy, that blasted off in the direction of Ponyville at three times the speed of sound.
A single tear fell from Luna's eyes. She turned around and galloped into Canterlot to find her sister.
Sunset bit his lip until it bled as he saw his beloved home, Ponyville, in flames. Even from the great distance, they could see Legion in the town square. He was simply standing there, tossing off bolts of demonic energy now and then. Suddenly, he spotted the group, despite the lengths that separated them, and fired a stream of energy. Flaming Star, who was steering the bubble of energy, veered off and dodged the blast. Soon they were caught in a hail of energy bolts
"I can't keep dodging them!" yelled Flaming Star as a bolt of demonic energy glanced off the bubble, causing it to buckle.
Regal Crescent nodded. "We're close enough now, everyone bail!"
Flaming Star dropped the shield and hurled a flare of light energy to block Legion's vision as they all scattered.
"Flaming Star! Regal Crescent!" yelled Sunset, "We need to attack Legion head-on! We need to keep his attention on us! Rainbow Dash! Grab Twilight and Fluttershy and find the rest of the harmony bearers! Wait until Celestia and Luna arrive!"
"Attack Legion head on?" yelled Regal Crescent, "That's suicide! He is pretty much the most powerful demon of all time!"
"People said that about Abbadon until I beat him!" replied Sunset, "We need to do this! For our friends!"
Regal Crescent seemed to fight with himself for a moment, and then he nodded. "For our friends," he confirmed.
Flaming Star then yelled, "Attack formation Delta Twelve! Spearhead!"
The three dove towards Legion. Legion rocketed up to meet them. When they collided, however, there was no explosion of energy, Legion simply blasted the three out of his way, sending them all spiraling into houses.
"Contact! Recover and regroup! Ten seconds!" roared Flaming Star as he jumped up from the crater he had created when he had crashed and took to the air.
Sunset and Regal Crescent both recovered and joined Flaming Star. They hovered in the air, facing Legion.
Legion stared at them, his face hidden by his face-plate. All they could see was his sinister red-glowing T-visor.
"Well, this is unique," laughed Legion, "I mean, you are a bunch of misfits if I ever saw one! Look what we have here: Joseph Torrus, a recuperating psychopath; Abimael Sethson, an obsessive, egotistic, moron; and Dathan Enosson, a traitorous wretch. You honestly think you three could take me down?"
Flaming Star grinned as he said, "Probably. For, from what I see, I see: Joseph Torrus, a strong, virtuous, knight; Abimael Sethson, an intelligent, yet humbled, warrior; and Dathan Enosson, a repentant, yet amazing, fighter."
Legion just floated there. After a pause he said, "That was really stupid."
Flaming Star rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I think it was an excellent comeback! Don't you think, Sunset?"
Sunset just looked at Flaming Star, "Are you honestly… he's our archenemy!"
Flaming Star rolled his eyes again and said, "Yeah, I know! But I can't let him get away with such an insult. Tell you what, Legion, let's rock-paper-scissors for whose statement was the best. Deal?"
Legion just looked at them. "Really? Wait… where's Enosson?"
Suddenly Legion reeled forward as a massive blast of energy knocked him forwards. Regal Crescent had snuck up behind him. Flaming Star had only been stalling.
Legion tried to right himself, but was blasted backwards by a dual attack from Flaming Star and Sunset. He flew backwards, only to be knocked forward again by Regal Crescent. Suddenly, Legion released a massive blast of energy in all direction, knocking the three askew. Legion righted himself and conjured his massive demonic blade. He rocketed towards Flaming Star. Flaming Star conjured a blade of his own and the two met in the middle. There was a clash, a concussive explosion, and a snap as Legion's sword shattered Flaming Star's. Legion reached forward to grab Flaming Star, but Flaming Star increased the temperature around his body to 2600 degrees Celsius. Legion quickly withdrew his hand and blasted Flaming Star backwards with a bolt of energy. Sunset caught Flaming Star as Legion turned to Regal Crescent and engaged him in a firefight. Regal Crescent was fast, but he was no match for the sheer overpowering might of Legion, who eventually connected with one of his demonic bolts and sent him spiraling away. Sunset and Flaming Star both rushed him, and released blasts of energy, but were met with a wave of demonic bolts. Sunset and Flaming Star teleported away from the attack and immediately began to engage Legion in combat. Legion simply waved away their attacks, and fired two blasts of well-timed demonic energy. They both hit their marks, stunning Flaming Star and Sunset. Legion lowered himself until he was hovering a few feet above the crater where had had initially landed. Suddenly he flickered, but it was only momentary, soon it stopped and Legion was still there, in all his horrific power.
Legion laughed, "You three are no match for me. In my time of imprisonment, I have only grown stronger! There is no chance that you three insignificant fools can take down the great Legion!"
Sunset quickly recovered and yelled, "Then it's a good thing that we're just not three!" Legion quickly turned to see Regal Crescent, leading Celestia, Luna, and the harmony bearers.
Legion laughed, "You don't have the elements of harmony, there is no way you could even touch me."
Celestia glared at the demon as she said, "We don't need the elements of Harmony to take you down, demon."
Legion raised his eyebrows. "You don't? Please, enlighten me, then, on how you plan to defeat me, Princess Celestia. Yes, I know who you are. I know who all of you are, and all of your greatest fears."
Twilight narrowed her eyes as she said, "Then you must know, Legion, that we have nothing to fear when we are together!"
Legion tapped his facemask. "Oh my, Princess Twilight, what a wonderful comeback. Maybe you could teach your coltfriend, Abimael, a thing or two about those skills of yours. Anyway, even if you have nothing to fear, it is not of my concern. I am not just fear, I am unkindness, I am disloyalty, I am dishonesty, I am greed, I am sorrow, I am the antimagic. There is nothing you can do against me."
Sunset simply raised an eyebrow. "Let's test that, shall we?"
With that, they all charged him. A massive blast of harmony energy erupted from Celestia, Luna, and the harmony bearers, and it became coupled with the chains of truth from Sunset, a massive blast of fire a billion times hotter than the center of the sun from Regal Crescent, and a bolt of energy powerful enough to shatter a planet from Flaming Star. They all hit Legion at the same time. A bright light filled every corner of the planet, and could be seen from outer space. The light was so bright, that everypony everywhere had to shut their eyes. As the light cleared, they opened their eyes… Legion was still standing. He looked at them. Suddenly he flickered again, and it looked like he was simply was blinking out of existence, but then it stopped, and Legion stood there... completely fine.
"That was impressive, but perhaps… just not enough."
Fluttershy feinted, and Rarity began to hyperventilate. Flaming Star's mouth literally dropped open. "But… but… but…"
Legion then said, almost in a terrified, haunted voice, "You just don't understand, do you? I am part of a greater plan, something so terrible that even I cannot bear it, but it is unstoppable, and thus by extension, I am unstoppable. This is not what we had planned for, but it is what will transpire. What I have witnessed… is unimaginable. I have kneeled at the throne of bones and rotting flesh, I have seen its king in all its hideous glory. I have seen the flayed and decaying hands of the Unknowns, as they cobble together the satanic machine, fueled by hate and the blood of innocents. The new plan… in all it malevolence… you cannot stop it. And if I could not stop it, than neither can you."
The entire team rose to fight him once more, but a massive blast knocked them all, except Regal Crescent who had somehow managed to dodge the attack, to the floor.
Legion smiled as he looked at the stunned forms of his adversaries. He then looked at Regal Crescent, "Just you and me, eh?"
Regal Crescent's eyes narrowed. "It doesn't matter what you have seen, Legion. Good will always prevail."
Legion roared with laughter, "What say you? Good will always prevail? I believe that a few days ago, I came to you with the heart of a female arch-demon and asked you to destroy Flaming Star, and you agreed! Don't tell me that you have somehow changed your mind and returned to these base sentimentalities. They are sordid… hoary… useless. What made you return to such things?"
Regal Crescent reached over and grasped Luna's hoof, who was still in a daze. "She did."
Legion snapped a finger. "Ah! Love! I should have known. Females do that, don't they?"
Regal Crescent nodded as he rose above the rest of his team to face Legion. "Yes, love. And if I had remembered my long-lost love when you came to me, I would have killed you where you stood when you approached me. But I lost my way… I have found it again now, and all the forgiveness that comes with it. No matter how terrible you are, or what 'plans' you claim to have seen, there is no way you or any other evil will prevail in the end. Good… will… always… WIN!"
With that, Regal Crescent, all alone, rushed Legion, who conjured up his blade again. Suddenly, Regal Crescent opened a portal to some dimension behind Legion. Then Regal Crescent rammed Legion, taking the blade full in his chest. Legion spiraled backwards and fell through the portal, however, just as half of him made it through, Regal Crescent closed the portal… cutting Legion in half. Legion was dead; half of him lay in the My Little Pony dimension, the other half in some other godforsaken land.
Regal Crescent gave a deep, retching gasp as he pulled the sword out of his chest. He stumbled and fell to the ground. "I probably should have thought of a better idea," he gasped.
Sunset was the first to recover. He rushed up to Regal Crescent and lifted his head. "Hang on there, Regal Crescent," he said, "We got you."
He was joined by Flaming Star, who began to pour healing energy into him… but the damage was too much.
"Eh, I think it's a little too late now, guys," whispered Regal Crescent, "I'm clocking out here… doesn't hurt too much."
Luna suddenly rushed over, she had recovered as well. "Oh… my Regal Crescent, what has he done to you?" Tears began to flow out of her eyes.
Regal Crescent tried to wink. "He gave me a win. At last… a win. I needed that."
Luna started to kiss him. "No! No! No! You can't leave me! You said you weren't going to leave me!"
Regal Crescent smiled and said, "I said I probably would not leave you. But I guess I will. Don't worry though… I will always be with you… in here." He reached up and tapped her heart. He gave a retching gasp, vomited up a massive gout of blood, and died. Luna broke down crying.
Rainbow Dash's eyes were wide as she began to shake uncontrollably, "No… not again! No! NO! NO! NO!"
Twilight buried her face in Flaming Star's mane and began to weep as well.
Sunset simply sat there, looking at Regal Crescent blood-soaked body. He had seen too much violence in his time to feel nauseated by the sight of blood, but Regal Crescent's death was terrible, and his emotions were on the brink of spilling over.
Flaming Star just stood there, letting Twilight cry on him. He looked at Regal Crescent and said, "Well… He… He killed the most powerful demon of all time."
Sunset nodded. "He was the best. I've never seen such power, or quick thinking."
Flaming Star nodded as well and said, "He was awesome… even better than me. He was the most powerful."
"Yes… he was," sighed Sunset, "We need to put him to rest, Luna is crying herself to pieces."
Flaming Star slowly levitated the body, and cleaned the blood and dirt off of him. Luna was still clutching to him and crying. "We need to bury him near the harmony tree," Flaming Star said, "that is the place he would have wanted to be buried in. Not Earth Prime, not anywhere else… he would have wanted to be here, with his harmony tree, and his loved ones."

Time: 3825 Anno Domini
Legion gasped as he felt his life slip away. He had lost. His vision began to cloud as he drifted into oblivion, where his soul would be imprisoned in eternal darkness and nothingness for the rest of eternity. As he died, he forced out a chuckle. He had lost… but it did not matter, things were going according to new plan.
"Perhaps double-crossing the Grand Devil isn't such a brilliant idea," he gasped, "but then... perhaps... this is the best way for life in the multiverse to go..."
Silently, Legion telepathically contacted the hive mind of the infernal realm. "The demon army has attacked the My Little Pony dimension and laid waste to it," he said, "I and my soldiers were not harmed. There will be no further attacks against the dimension from the infernal realm. The operation was a success. Legion out."
With a grunt, Legion dragged his halved body forward a few inches before giving up. "The Paradox better deliver," he said, and with a gasp, he closed his eyes.
And then Legion died, and his soul drifted away to be tormented forever.
Note: Okay guys, here is what is going down now. A new age is starting, and a whole new level of warfare is coming. I've already chosen winners for the team that will be part of the new age section of this story, but if you want your OC to show up, PM me! I might have use of them! I understand that this is a bit of a cliffhanger, so I will roll out the next chapter as quickly as possible. And remember to R&R!
