"Almost there girls." Twilight said as they made it into the mural room in teh castle and ran to the back where the elements were being held.
"eh Sugarcube how are we to open it without the princess?" Applejack asked a bit confused now.
"Don't worry. She changed the enchantment to allow us access as long as we are together to open it." Twilight said placing a hoof on the wall as a light came off it and flowed over the bearers as if it were scanning them. A loud click was heard before the door opened for them. Twilight wasted no time levitating the box with the elements out and handing each girl there elements.
An explosion was then heard and felt throughout the room coming from the main part of the castle. The Battle had begun. The girls nodded and ran off toward the castle and the fight.

Michael slid along the ground dodging the blasts Crysalis sent his way easily. He switched around and flew straight toward her using his wings to give him an added boost she saw then and charged a blast in her horn but he saw the shot and quickly disappeared from her sight only to appear next to her sending an elbow to her face dispelling her magic. He then followed up with a punch to her leg knocking her to her knee and a backwards round house kick to her face sending her flying into one of the pillars in the room literally destroying it. She quickly recovered and flew right at him as fire surrounded her front hooves.
He quickly teleported back a bit to avoid her attack as she landed where he was causing and explosion of green flames which he shielded himself from with his wings. He felt the heat on his wings from the flames and knew she was coming by the buzzing of her wings. He then sent energy into his wings and right as she was on top of him and spread them letting the energy expel itself in a giant shockwave sending her flying back into the ground. He quickly drew Luna's bow from his back then and cocked a impact shot arrow taking aim as she got up slowly. He let loose as the arrow hit its mark. It didn't pierce her but the magic in it activated as she was sent flying again into the wall as the sound of the impact broke the windows in the room. She landed on her feet as she glared at him just as he cocked a piercing shot on the bow.
Green flames then came from her horn as she aimed it at him. A green flamethrower then burst out coming right at him but he grinned as he let loose the arrow piercing the flame and all but dispelling it. She had a look of surprise as the arrow went straight through her leg. She cried out in pain as she slumped down to the ground. He then drew a white arrow and cocked it but didn't aim it as he walked up to her. "You can't win crystal. Why are we even fighting anyways? Why do you hate me? I never wanted this." He said as he heard her mumble something. "What?"
She then cried out. "YOU WEREN'T THERE! I was so alone. After I appeared here I was alone in a stange body that was not my own. No one was there to guide me. NO ONE! I had hoped you had come with me...but no....I came alone and cursed with this stupid form that needs love to stay alive. I fought my way to the status of queen and now I will take what I deserve!" she said as she charged another blast but was halted by his next words and the emotionless look on his face.
"And what is it you deserve?" He asked staring at her. The Element bearers then came in and saw Michael aiming the bow with the white arrow at crysalis and saw the expression on her face.
"Redemption." she said with a angry look on her face as she fired.
"Then you shall have it sister." He said as he let loose the arrow.

Outside on the streets of canterlot the citizens were being evacuated from the city for safety reasons but all activity halted then as the sound of an explosion was heard that shook the ground as light came out of the windows of the castle. The light faded and then silence filled the air. The citizens looked up at the castle all but one as he walked to the train station. A brown pony wearing a half black half white suit and sporting a goatee with a cutie mark that consisted of a happy and sad mask. He grinned and laughed a bit as he boarded the train to ponyville.

A few hours later.
Michael slowly opened his eyes and felt sore all over including in his wings. He groaned quietly as he looked around getting his bearings. He saw he was in a white room on a bed and realized he was in the hospital....again. "I swear I'm gonna start living here if I come here to much." He said as he leaned up to see Twilight layed halfway on the bed at his legs asleep. He looked around and saw the bed next to him and his eyes shot of in surprise. What lay there completely shocked him. It was crystal....but not as a changeling. She was human again and all grown up. His own sister. Tears formed in his eyes as he watched her sleep. "How..." He didn't noticed Twilight wake up next to him and then spoke.
"We used the elements on her after that arrow you shot. Whatever it did it freed her mind of all the hatred she held in her. It didn't kill her but once she saw you she asked for a request. She asked us to use the elements on her and you...cause well you died." she said with a frown. If his eyes could get any wider they would be dinner plates.
"I....I died?" He asked in which she only nodded.
"The elements brought you back....it'll take some time for you to recover so I suggest you rest up. I'll go tell Celestia, Luna, and the girls to good news." She said as she got up from her seat and trotted out. As she exited he looked back at crystal and looked her over. She look like any normal teen girl save for the unnatural green hair she had. She was dressed in a hospital garb but he ignored that and smiled as she slept.
"Good to have you back....sister." He said as he fell back asleep as well.
