Equestria Girls: The Spectrum War

Chapter 7

"We defeated you in our universe and we can stop you in this one" Hal said to Nekron, defiantly.

"Why resist?" Nekron said, "why spend your final moments in useless struggle."

Black Hand stepped forward, "Lord Nekron is right, death is inevitable and eternal," he held up a skull.

"Before you had a advantage to defeat me," Nekron said, "but no more."

A single black ring flew out of the black lantern on Nekron's scythe and headed towards the skull. Black slime grow from the skull, turning into bones. The ring slotted itself on the finger as it formed. Next, flesh spread over the bones. Finally, skin and clothing covered the flesh.

"Kyle Rayner of earth," Nekron smiled, as the body of the fallen green lantern rose up in front of him, "Rise!"

"Hello, Hal, my old friend" Kyle said.

"Kyle, I'm so sorry, I let you die, back in our universe, but I'm sorry I have to destroy you," Hal replied.

"You're sorry?" Kyle replied, "try telling that to Kilowog, Mogo, Ch'p and all the other lanterns you let die."

"Don't let the fact that it's a face you recognise distract you," Henry said.

"The hearts of the living will be ours," Black Hand said, as the black lanterns began to attack the group, there were an army of them.

"There is nowhere to go," Nekron added, "no other worlds, no other realities here, your lives will end."

"You sure we can't save these people?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she fired blasts of blue energy.

"It's too late for them, Rainbow," Hal replied.

"This is what happened to your universe, isn't it?" asked Applejack, as she fought the black lanterns.

"Just like this, one last stand," Indigo-1 replied.

Twilight and Pinkie battled the black lanterns using their powers, Pinkie's being making objects explode by touching them and Twilight's telekinesis, Sunset seemed to be holding her own.

The others used their powers too, along with their lantern powers, Applejack's super strength, Rarity's diamond constructs, Rainbow Dash's super speed and Fluttershy's ability to talk to animals.

They were beginning to become overwhelmed by black lanterns.

"This time Ganthet ain't here to pop open another escape hatch!" Guy said, as he blasted some of the black lanterns away.

"Good thing that backups arrived," a voice replied.

Everyone looked to where the voice had come from.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Rainbow Dash gasped.

There stood JSA members: Doctor Fate, Hourman, Stargirl, Sandman, Power girl, Red Tornado, Citizen Steel, Damage, Doctor Mid-nite, Spectre, Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

"Hope you don't mind, Alan," Stargirl a.k.a. Courtney Whitmore, "but we raided your exhibit for our old stuff."

"What are you doing here? You're going to get hurt" Henry asked Red Tornado a.k.a. Ma Hunkel,

"Ah, Henry's going to kill me for putting on the cooking pot," Red Tornado replied.

"Oh, darling what are you wearing?" Rarity asked, looking at what Power Girl a.k.a. Karen Starr was wearing.

"You mean my costume?" Power Girl replied, "This what I wore on active duty and I haven't found a suitable symbol for herself."

"Oh, no you simply cannot go around looking like that," Rarity responded.

"I think that there's more at stake here than one costume," Applejack interrupted.

"Yes, I think the bigger problem is the black lanterns," agreed Hourman a.k.a. Rex Tyler.

"Oh, alright," Rarity nodded, "but once we're done here I'm fixing that costume of yours."

"No matter how many of you there are," Black Hand growled, "the dead out number the living."

"Do not be so sure, denizen of death, the wheel of fate is turning," Doctor Fate a.k.a. Kent Nelson, said as he blasted the black lanterns with magical energy.

"You know, what they say," Applejack said, summoning up a giant apple construct and bowling it at the black lanterns, "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away."

"You and I are alike, Spectre," Black Hand said, "we are both avatars of death."

"We are nothing alike Black Hand," replied, Spectre a.k.a. Jim Corrigan "I am the avatar of vengeance, you are the avatar of death."

"Nevertheless you are a bringer of death," Black Hand responded, "and the dead belong to Nekron and so do you."

The black lantern Kyle, vomited up a black ring which headed straight for the Spectre, but before the ring could latch onto him it was destroyed by Damage a.k.a. Grant Emerson.

Both Citizen Steel a.k.a. Nate Heywood and Doctor Mid-nite a.k.a. Charles McNider faced down the black lanterns,


"I think it's a good idea for you to steel up, Nate," Charles suggested.

Nate nodded and activated his powers, turning his skin into indestructible living steel.

"I could do this all night," Hawkman a.k.a. Carter Hall smiled, as he finished off some of the black lanterns with his mace along with picking up some of them and flying into the air and smashing them back down.

"From the looks of it you may have to," Hawkgirl a.k.a. Kendra Saunders replied, as she also beat back the black lanterns with her mace, "they keep on coming!"

"There's no end to them," cried Sandman a.k.a. Sandy Hawkins, as he tried fighting off the black lanterns with his gas gun.

"We have to take the fight to Nekron," Rainbow Dash said, she fired a blast from her ring, hitting Nekron in the chest, destroying him.

"That was easy," Rainbow Dash said.

"Nekron's more than just decayed flesh and bone," Hal added, grimly "he's a manifestation of dark energy he won't be so easy..."

Before Hal could finished, Nekron suddenly reformed straight in front of Hal and Rainbow Dash.

"To destroy!" Hal cried, as he and Rainbow Blocked Nekron's attack.

"You said that only one could stop Nekron was a white lantern," Twilight said, as she pushed and throw the black lanterns using her powers, "someone who can combine the powers of the spectrum."

"That won't be enough," Carol replied, "we have tried and failed."

"Only the life entity is powerful enough to defeat death itself," Indigo-1 continued, "when a single bearer wears the rings of every colour, only then is the entity unleashed."

"Only when the rings choose a bearer strong enough to harness the entire spectrum of emotion," finished Hal.

"Entire spectrum of emotion?" Twilight murmured, to herself.

After some thinking, Twilight turned to Rarity, "Rarity give your ring to Sunset," she said.

"What? Why?" Rarity asked.

"Just trust me," Twilight replied.

"Fine, just remember it chose me first," Rarity replied, handing her ring to Twilight.

Twilight ran over to Sunset, "Sunset put this on!" she cried.

"What are you...?" Sunset began.

"Just put it on" Twilight urged.

Sunset put the indigo ring on her finger, "Now what?" she asked.

"Call it a hunch" Twilight replied.

The pink, green and blue rings flew off and onto Sunset's figures.

"The rings are communicating with each other!" Saint Walker cried, "They have found their common bearer, the one who can wield their combined might!"

"These are four of the rings that Ganthet saved" Hal added.

"What about the others?" Twilight asked.


Downtown

"We will be the ones that will finish the Rainboom!" Adagio growled, as she clashed with Trixie.

"You three are fools, thinking that you deserve that honour!" Trixie cried.

"Me and my Shadowbolts will crush you and destroy my former student," Cinch laughed.

But before any of them could go any further all three of their rings few off their fingers, the Dazzling's rings returning to being one ring.

"Our rings!" all three Dazzlings cried.

"What?!" Trixie gasped.

"No not now!" Cinch shouted, as the ring flew off.

All of them dropped to the ground, "Stay where you are!" commanded the voice of a police officer, "you're under arrest!"


Back at the graveyard

"You will make a powerful black lantern, Kent Nelson," Nekron said, as he stood over the fallen hero, "embrace the inevitable...."

He was cut off as the orange, yellow and red ring flew towards Sunset and slotted into her fingers, enveloping her in a blinding white light.

"It's happening..." Carol said.

"The colours uniting as one," cried Saint Walker.

"The emotional spectrum is complete," Indigo-1 finished.

From behind Sunset appeared the Life Entity.

"The Life Entity is reborn!" Hal cried.

The entity released a blast that wiped out all the black lanterns, except for Nekron and Black Hand

Sunset and the entity then merged together as Sunset recited the words.

In the brightest day,
There will be light to cleanse the soul
and set wrongs right
when darkness falls look to the skies
A new dawn comes
Let there be light!

The white light grow brighter as Sunset changed into a white lantern, the avatar of life itself.

"Nekron! Your time is over!" Sunset said, she summoned up a blade construct and engaged Nekron.

"How is she doing that?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she and the others watched Sunset battled death itself.

"Sunset is now joined with the very light that was driven into the universe," Indigo-1 replied, "it is her will to survive that fuels it."

"So what kind of power are we talking there?" asked Applejack.

"Nothing less than godlike, Applejack," replied Saint Walker.

Meanwhile, Sunset had Nekron in white chain constructs, while attacking him with her blade.

"No! you are the trespassers! You are the enemies of existence!" he growled, as he struggled in the chains.

"You do not belong here" Sunset said, "be gone from this reality."

Sunset fired one finale blast of white energy at Nekron, finishing him off.

Sunset and the entity separated, the entity erasing all of Nekron's work, including Black Hand.

The blue, pink, green and Indigo rings returned to the girls, Sunset was now wearing a white ring.

"That. Was. Awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"Just like old times, eh?" Jay asked Alan.

"Yeah, except I don't remember my back hurting like this back then." Alan replied, rubbing his sore back.

The sound of cheering was heard, they all turned to see a crowd of people who had been watching clapping and cheering.

"Eh, you see that," an old man said, smiling, "that's the way to do it."

"No school like the old school," his friend agreed.

Both men nodded in agreement.

A news reporter pushed to the front of the crowd, "After years of retirement the JSA have returned to defend our city," the reporter said, she turned to Alan, "You and your team save us all" she said, "how can we thank you?"

"It wasn't just us" Alan replied, "It was the heroism and courage of these seven girls," he gestured to Twilight and the others.

"Does this mean that the JSA is out of a job?" the reporter asked.

"No we just have another team we can count on to carry on our legacy" Alan replied.

"Thats right," Rainbow Dash nodded, "the new JSA are ready for action, when danger appears we'll be there."
