//------------------------------// // Family Brawl // Story: The last hope of Equestria // by Dark lord //------------------------------// A dust cloud filled the streets of canter Lot as the sound of sword against sword was all that could be heard clearly. "You're pretty fast even with heavy armor” Deimos grind charging Luna with his black sword in hand. he jumped into the air and with all his might swung the sword down hard toward Luna and causing a large shock wave on the ground. "I'm impressed you're the only one who's ever last this long" Luna called to him from the sky as she began to charge her palm with a dark blue aura and blast it straight at Deimos blasting him in to a building. "It's over" she whispered with a sigh. "Not yet!" shouted Deimos punching Luna and sending her to the ground. "This. Ends. Now!" he yelled throwing a massive blast of light blue aura at her. In an instant Luna castes a shield blocking the blast. "I have to say" said Luna as she began to stand from the ground and dusting herself off “I was expecting this be fairly easy" she said with a smile. "Oh come on, you hurt my feelings" Deimos laughed "so you done?" he asked crossing his hands on his chest. "Far from it" Luna replied "I'm just getting started" "Is that so?" said Deimos tilting his head to the left "then this time no more holding back...okay?" he grind. Luna smiled and with a slight movement from her hands she summoned two swords and instantly charged toward him. Deimos didn't hesitate to do the same. As their swords interacted with one another the sounds of the blades could be heard all over canter lot and a crowd of spectators began to cheer on louder and louder at the two blocked and dodged each other’s attack. "This is AMAZING!" Pinkie pie shouted from the top of her lungs causing her puffy pink hair to bounce “I wonder who will win?" "I know right I can't believe we have front row sets to the best fight ever!" Rainbow replied with an amused voice. "I don't think this is such a good idea..." Flutter shy whimpered softly holding her hands together. "I agree with Flutter shy" Rarity huffed "Princess Luna shouldn't be acting unladylike especially acting this way" her eyes still staring at the batting. "Oh come on babe you have to admit this is pretty badass" Spike replied with a smile putting his arms around her "I have my bets on Luna!" Rarity glared at him with an annoyed expression. "My bits are on Deimos!" Pinkie shouted "There's no way he could beat her!" Rainbow cheered "I'm with Princess Luna!" "Place my bet on Deimos" said Applejack holding a bottle of cider in her hand. "W...well I think it will end in a draw...” Flutter shy stuttered nervously. She turned to see Twilight with a worried expression on her face. "Are you okay Twilight?" she asked tilting her head a little. Twilight didn't respond she stared at the battle with worry in her eyes "Deimos..." she whispered. Deimos ducked and quickly swung upwards hitting the sword out of Luna's hand. "One down one to go" he laughed swinging again at Luna. "Don't get to cocky" she smiled blocking his sword with hers and pushed him back a few feet away with a blast. Deimos immediately sprinted towards her and began to raise his sword bring it down with all his force. Luna's sword began to cover with her aura and a bright shine of light flashed as both swords came in contact throwing Deimos hard into a wall of a building and sending his sword out of his reach. Luna smiled as she looked at her shattered sword "It seems we're both unarmed" she said grinning at Deimos. "Yup afraid so..." Deimos chuckled "guess it's time to finish this" he said charging his right fist with a light blue aura. "Agreed" Luna replied doing the same with her left fist. The two stared at each other as their first charged at full power and in an instant they sprinted towards one another both raising their fists. "This ends now!" shouted Luna as their fists crashed together causing a loud explosion sending Luna rolling on the ground and Deimos into a building ,making it collapse on top of him. The crowed fell silent not knowing who had won. "Who won?" asked Rainbow Dash with a confused look on her face. "I don't know but that was AWESOME!" Spike cheered. Everyone became anxious because of the thick dust cloud caused by the explosion no one was able to see who the victor was. "Hey I see someone!" a man’s voice shouted causing everyone turn his direction. Once the cloud began to disappear Luna began to pick herself up from the ground with her knees and stood proudly with a torn dark blue dress. Before the crowed could cheer for the victor an eye burning ray of sunlight appeared in the sky. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Celestia shouted with her royal voice causing everyone to cover their ears. As Celestia slowly landed on the ground she notices the cuts and bruises. "Luna!" she shouted running towards her sister. "What happened to you? Who did this?" her voice was a mix between anger and worry. "Tia don't worry" Luna began brushing herself off. "Everything is-" the sound of rocks being moved interrupted the sister’s conversation. As they turned their attention to the pile of rocks, Deimos let out a slight cough and waving his hands trying to clear the small cloud of dust around him. "Damn...honestly that kinda hurt a bit" he said patting the dust off of his left shoulder. He looked at Luna with a grin "ready to keep going?" "how can he still be standing after that? " thought Luna staring with a shocked expiration. "So you are the one that hurt my sister..." Celestias voice spoke. Her voice full of anger and rage. "WHO ARE YOU!?” Deimos stood in confusion not knowing who this woman could possibly be. "My name is Deimos" he replied leaving Celestia with her eyes wide and in shock. in a blink of an eye Celestia appeared in form to of him. Caching Deimos off guard Celestia quickly pulled him closer to her hugging him, tears rolling down her cheek. "So it's you" she sniffed trying to wipe away the tears "it's really you...brother”, as Celestia kept holding Deimos with a strong grip, he couldn't help but to hug her back. As he wrapped his arms around her and place his head on her shoulder, he felt a slight warmth overcome him. "I'm glad we finally meet" Celestia answered slowly letting Deimos go as she cleared her throat "but can someone explain to me why the two of you are fighting?" she asked looking back at Luna, who was now shamelessly staring at ground. "It was my fault" answered Deimos walking towards his sword and placing it back in its sword holder over his shoulder "minutes before we got off the train Luna and I were talking about the long years I have been sealed away and soon I became curious which one of us was actually stronger and we both agreed that once the train came to a complete stop then we will start a brawl" he looked around noticing the massive destruction surrounding him. "Don't worry about the mess" he said closing his eyes and lighting his hands with his aura, in an instant everything from broken glass to bricks began to levitate with a light blue aura and in a matter of seconds all the buildings that they destroyed soon began to rebuild itself. After a few seconds of reconstruction, Deimos let out a soft sigh of relief and began walking towards Luna stretching his hand towards her "Let’s leave it a draw, okay?" he said with a smile. "Alright" she said shaking his hand "but don't expect me to go easy on you the next time" she smiled. "I won't count on it" Deimos laughed with a smile growing on his face. In a matter of seconds the whole crowed of spectators began to shout and cheer with all their might and quickly ran towards the two fighters with admiration patting them on their backs. "Oh come on!" shouted Spike stomping the ground in frustration "I can't believe they called it a draw!” "I want to see a rematch!" cried Rainbow flying in the air with an angry tone. "That can't possibly be the end of the battle!" "Oh come on Dashie" Pinkie called out from the ground "don't be a sour loser" "May I remind you that you and Applejack lost the bet as well darling" Answered raising an eyebrow in question. "Tee I knew that" Pinkie snorted with laughter making Rarity become frustrated. As Pinkie continued laughing Applejack began to walk towards Fluttershy with a large bag of gold bits. "Here ya go sure cube" she said handing the bag to the shy, confused girl, with a smile "this is for you". With a bit of hesitation Fulttershy slowly began to reach for the bag nearly dropping her do to its weight. "I...I won?" she asked with a nervous tone. "Ya sure did" Applejack smiled flicking the tip of her hat "while everyone else betted on Deimos or the Princess , you put your money on a draw and well ya won over Twenty-five thousand bits" after the words left her lips, Rarity's, Spikes, and Rainbow's mouths came to a hard drop and were left speechless. "Oh...my" Futtlershy whispered looking at the bag but before she could speak Pinkie Pie quickly hugged her and dropped her to the ground. "Way to go Fluttershy" she shouted with joy "what are you going to do with all those bits?" "Well I’m going to go the animal shelter in Ponyville and donate half of it and the rest of it I’ll use it to make a bigger home for all the wonderful animals back at my house" answered Fluttershy with a cute smile. As she began to get off of the ground she noticed Twilight still with the same worried look on her face. Without hesitation she began walking towards Twilight and placed her and on the girls shoulder "Twilight are you okay?" she asked startling Twilight a little. "Oh...yes I’m fine" the girl answered clearing her throat "I'm just a little tired that's all I’ll be fine" she said with a forced smile across her face. "Hey you two were headed to the castle" shouted Spike waving his arm in the air "you guys coming?" "Go ahead Fluttershy" Twilight answered "I just have to think of a few things for a bit" "O...Okay" Fluttershy whispered slowly walking away from her friend and regrouped with the others. As Twilight watch her Friends leave she turned her attention towards her sword which started to shine a light violet color. "Who are you?" twilight asked tightening her grip. " There is no need to worry little one " It spoke " I am just....a part of you...young mistress... "
