AN: *This chapter is really short, and literally 50% of it is a really long fight scene, but bare with me, here, this is suppodsed to be really fast. So is the next chapter. These are really only used to introduce other key story characters, but I promise that chapter 5 will be much longer.*
Phantom walked through the great hall of Been's hideout. His tall leather steel-toes clanged on the tile floors, with their hidden cletes. His dark brown cloak that covered his body waved away from his back, and his hands under his metal gloves clenched into fists at his sides, moving with each step. Phamton never showed his face, as it was shadowed by his cloak hood. He was one of the incredibly rare cases of a human mutant, and more powerful than any other. With a single clance at his opponent, and he could mimic his abilities and skills. his eyes could also see into the future, making him impossible to defeat. Phantom was feared by every mutant, as he was also Been's personal assassin. He watched on as the board of executives battled Aquos in Haven Tower, and therefore, he aquired all of their mutant powers. Now, Been had another mission. Phantom stopped before the scientist, and crossed his arms, "You said that the next time we met, you'd have Greybeak's head on your mantle." Said phantom in a disguised voice. In addition to his cloaked face, Phantom never let anyone hear his real voice.
"Yes, but there's been a change of plans," said Been, "The executives have survived, and Equestria will soon be protected to the fullest. Therefore, we have to invade prematurely. Get ready, you will single-handedly be in charge of the takeover of Canterlot."

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood in the throne room. behind them, a huge window stretched from floor to cieling, revealing the sun, and in front of them, a huge hallway stretched to the massive doorway. On either side of the corridor were ornate marble columns. Everything seemed business as usual until Been and Phantom appeared, walking down the hall. "Sister," whispered Luna to Celestia, "Who are these trespassers?"
"I'm not sure, but they are not welcome," She glared her eyes as Phantom glanced at one, then the other. She shouted to them, "Halt! By order of fair ruler Princess Celestia, what be your business in these sacred halls?"
"Oh, not much really," Said Breen, crossing his arms behind his back, "Just taking your country."
"Over my dead body!" shouted Luna to the old man.
Been got an evil grin over his face, "That can be arranged. Phantom!"
PHantom looked up, and proceeded to bring two stones out of the walls on either side of Luna. Celestia managed to dodge her rock, and Luna jumped to ground level before the space she used to occupy was crushed between the two pieces of earth. Luna's eyes went white as she egan to levitate. Out the window behind her, a huge wave began rising. When this wave was the height of the window, Luna sent it crashing into the royal hall. In this time, Phantom grabbed Been teleported him somewhere safe, then he ruturned to battle the wave. As water rushed into the sacred hall, Phantom raised a hand, and the roaring wave split into two before it hit him. As the weather settled, Luna stood again, and Celestia was hovering over her throne. "Wait sister. I will aid your fight." Said Celestia as she swooped down, hoping to at least knock Phantom to the floor. But the assassin was too quick, and he managed to limbo underneath her, grab her leg, and swing her down to the floor. Luna fired a beam of pure night into Phantom, who simply raised his hand, and deflected it into a sacred piller. Each piller in the royal hall represented a pair of princes or princesses who ruled before Celestia and Luna. With the beam's impact, the piller representing Prince Solarus was broken at the bottom. Phantom used his rock manipulation powers to break this piller from the wall, and swing it. As Celestia got up, both her and Luna were knocked down again by the Solarus column, which then swung back shattering more columns. He then thrust the column into Luna, ramming her into the wall. Celestia recovered agin, and fired a beam of sunlight at the evildoer. Phantom countered it by shielding himself with the essance of night. The sunlight died, and Phantom replied with a fireball, which cinged Celestia's coat, and sent her rolling to the back wall. He then shook the back wall, damaged by the wave, and broke it apart, sending each shard into the abyss that was the Canterlot mountainside. Luna pushed the rock off of her, and glanced at her sister. They both knew what needed to be done. Luna stood in front of her throne, and Celestia, the same. Luna released her chest guard, and Celestia, her crown, and each item was placed on top of the other, forming a physical contradiction. First Celestia split into a second form, which was slightly transparent, and was slowly levitated toward the anomaly. The original form of Celestia went deathly cold, and soon, Luna's body did the same. With both the princess' souls united, a huuge embodiment of the god 'Equinox' appeared in the royal hall. He had all power in the world, and manipulated time itself as to fight Phantom. Equinox struck Phantom with a sphere of pure energy, despite phantoms future sighting being his doing nothing. Phantom was thrown to the floor, in shock of the first attack to strike him. Equinox must have been cancelling out Phantom's future seeing, and thus giving him the ability to defeat the assassin. But as Phantom looked at the god, He gained his powers, and fired the same energy sphere at Equinox, who was pushed back. And so, a battle of the titans ensued. Phantom increased his size to almost 30 times the original, to match the being's size. It was chaos from that point on. Energy spheres here, huge meteor showers there, and ultimately, it ended with Phantom thrusting his fists into Equinox's constelation-like chest, grabbed Celestia's crown, and Luna's chestguard, which were in place of his heart, and ripped them out. Like that, Phantom had killed the god of all creation, and the world returned to normal. Phantom was original size again, and Equinox lay, dead on the ground. He had won. Phantom levitated the crown and chestpiece toward him, and melted their physical forms. He brought the gem out of the crown, and morphed it into a pitch black jet, then he reformed the crown and chespiece into obsidian with streaks of fire and ruby. Then he placed the armor upon himself, and became ruler of Equestria.
