"Why are you doing this?"Bravery asked the tyrant before he took another step closer. He was not entirely sure what to do from this point on, he made it this far and had no idea what to do when he actually faced the unstoppable foe that stood and smirked before him.
"Questions, questions little one, that is all I ever receive from simple talking." Sombra growled, maintaining his evil smile and exposing his long grey fangs. "Only in death will you find your answers, the deity in my favour known as Hades in Tartarus awaits the remaining souls to torment for all eternity. He will use the memory of your approaching failure to emotionally torture you till the end of time!" he continued.
Bravery was now feeling a rising anger inside from Sombra's frequent mockery. He pulled out his shield and made a crouching battle position, awaiting for Sombra to attack. "Enough of this, you hideous psychopath!" Bravery roared who could no longer control the rage burning up inside him. The hero who had come all this way, walked forward at a slow and steady pace towards Sombra whilst making loud clanging sounds with his shield trying to distract the tyrant.
Sombra gave a quiet chuckle and brought his glowing sword up to chest height, readying it for battle.
"I have been longing for a moment such as this earth pony and now I have it, there is no escape from fear any more, FIGHT! Sombra suddenly shouted before charging at Bravery with immense reflexes.
Bravery noticed Sombra's charging motion and evaded the attack when Sombra's huge blade just nicked the end of his tail. After swiftly dodging the frontal attack, Bravery attempted to slam the rim of his shield into the side of Sombra's neck from the side. Sombra used his magic to instantly teleport away and materialise behind Bravery, he let out a terrifying roar as he jumped to slam his sword into Bravery's back but Bravery blocked the attack with his shield and staggered backward from the impact absorbed by his shield.
The sword was too powerful, the length and magical power it possessed gave Sombra the advantage. Sombra was the only evil force in this room, no reinforcements would come to his aid from where Bravery was fighting. Then again, he had to find a way to separate the tyrant from the weapon therefore making him less of an opponent. There was no turning back now, there were two ways in which this battle would end, either he died or Sombra did.
"Your life is mine, mortal" said Sombra whilst smiling another evil smile.
"You should keep your dirty paws off it before you do something you will regret, tyrant." Bravery replied returning a smile of confidence in Sombra's direction.
Sombra and Bravery then both charged at the same time and letting out fearsome cries of hate. As metal hit metal, the sound of the clash echoed throughout the room and the fighters were stationary and grunting as sword was pressed against shield.
"Your rage fuels my power you fool, as long as you show hate or fear I will grow ever stronger and you will eventually fall before me." Sombra hissed at Bravery.
Bravery pushed all his weight forward which caused Sombra to slip, giving Bravery the opportunity to strike. Bravery lurched forward again and smashed the face of his shield into Sombra's chest and then brought it back to strike the tyrant again around the right cheek. Sombra stumbled back therefore dropping his white sword from the blows and held his chest which was now dripping black, venomous blood.
Seeing that he had incapacitated the tyrant, Bravery galloped forward again to deliver the final blow. However, he had rushed into the attack and Sombra swept his legs from the ground using his front legs, he then kicked Bravery in the ribs with his back legs after Bravery was flung into the air.
Bravery fell to the floor with a light thud, he seriously was not able to stand. His side was screaming with pain and he felt something burning his forelegs. Sombra's blood was apparently extremely corrosive and it was gradually eating away at Bravery's flesh. Bravery lay on the floor, eliciting loud occasional grunts of agony whilst Sombra reclaimed his sword and held it above Bravery's head.
"You put up an admirable fight mortal, but there is nothing more powerful than me now." Sombra said as he pinned Bravery's hooves to the glass floor.
Bravery closed his eyes, he had failed, rage had got the better of him and brought about his defeat.
"Fortaancus was right, rage has to be controlled or else the consequences can be severe." Bravery thought now even sadder knowing that he had failed his newly found human friend........ wherever he might have been.
