	A demonic scythe appeared in the hooves of the demon pony, Mareaxe. Pinkie Pie drew her twin daggers for the fight that was ahead as she dipped them in holy water.
"It is time for you to die… Pinkie Pie." Mareaxe stated.
"I will bring you to justice, Mareaxe." Pinkie replied. The two charged at each other. The blade came down toward Pinkie Pie. It was caught in between Pinkie's daggers and she pushed the blade out of the way. Pinkie kicked the demon in the gut knocking him back. He was starting to lose focus on the spell that was paralyzing the spell. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle were able to escape. Feeling the urge for payback, Rainbow Dash lunged towards Mareaxe. Applejack grabbed her tail with her mouth yanking Rainbow Dash back before she got very far.
"Don't go out there, Rainbow." Twilight stated.
"Why not?" Rainbow asked irritated.
"This battle is extremely important for Pinkie. It is hers; and it's hers alone." Rainbow was hesitant to yield to Twilight's theory because she didn't know what was going on, but she thought it was for the better for Pinkie to do this battle alone. Pinkie Pie was able to slash at Mareaxe and vice versa. In one slash, Pinkie Pie literally jumped onto of the blade on its side, and somersaulted over the bastard.
During the battle, Pinkie Pie could feel the power of angels inside her; giving her strength from the divine for this conflict against the villainous devil that is Mareaxe. Swinging her daggers she slashed at the crystals around the neck and smashed them.
The crystal shards fell to the ground. Mareaxe tried to gather them in a panic to piece them together but the souls of Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo escaped the crystals and returned to their bodies. "NO! THE CRYSTALS!" Mareaxe shouted. "I MIGHT HAVE LOST THOSE FILLIES SOULS, BUT I WILL STILL DESTROY YOU, PINKIE PIE!"
"GUYS!" Pinkie said. "GET THE OTHER THREE OUT OF HERE!" Then, the ground beneath the entire area began to shake vigorously. All of the ponies were frightened by this especially, Pinkie and Mantrika.
"Wh… What's going on?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know!" Mantrika replied with concern. As this was happening, the ground beneath them began to crack a bright red light was coming from the cracks along with the fetid smell of brimstone.
"Is this a volcanic eruption in the middle of the Everfree Forest?" Twilight Sparkle hit an error in her thinking because nothing made sense any more. Some of the ground beneath Pinkie and Mareaxe fell downward into a fiery abyss. Pinkie looked down and saw the beast at the bottom of the pit staring right back at her.
The beast made speech but it was incomprehensible because of the demonic overtones and it was so low she would not have been able to hear it either. Mareaxe looked on in fear. A limb from the abomination what appeared to be a very long claw; it split into several tentacles. Shooting up with frightening speed, they grabbed Mareaxe's hind legs and began to drag him. In turn, he grabbed the hind legs of Pinkie Pie, so she was pulled up to the point where Pinkie was hanging on the edge of the cliff for her dear life. She was in a near insane panic from seeing the beast.
Her friends came to help her and began to pull her out, they were at even scale until Fluttershy came and helped her friend escape. Mareaxe was dragged into the abyss, the ponies looked down and she was sprayed with a lot of blood before the portal closed. Rarity fainted because it will take forever to get the blood stains out of her coat.

Later, the three fillies regained consciousness not remembering what happened. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity saw it best that the fillies didn't know what they did so to protect them.
"Big sis." Apple Bloom asked. "Why are we here?"
"It's you just wondered a little too far looking for treasure." Applejack replied leaving out the fact they found a book that possess them and made them do horrible things.
"Okay, sis. We won't go too far from now on."
Pinkie Pie, also, was able to regain her sanity again. She grabbed the book and set it ablaze, so no one was able to use it for dark purposes again. "There." She said. "Now, we can protect pony kind from that demon. He will never return again." She was relieved that her friend, Asva, and other ponies who were enslaved by Mareaxe was freed from the demonic grip. She thanked the divine for all the great friends she had in her life and she hoped that they will continue to be her friends…

And Twilight Sparkle found Midnight's kidney.
