The Elements of Harmony Vs The Ultimate Villain
The Elements of Harmony Vs The Ultimate Villain
Steel Wall and Spike were still searching the perimeter and there had been no signs of any threats. The night was getting colder and darker which meant that conditions were worse for the pony and dragon duo.
"Alright, it seems we can head back inside, nothing is going to be attacking unless it's a wendigo."
Spike was inclined to agree until something intensely wrong was felt.
Steel Wall could feel it too. Something so evil it was literally making his body shiver. "I have never felt anything like this. Spike get inside now and warn the others whatever this thing is I will try and hold it off."
Spike was worried about Steel Wall's safety but decided to follow his instructions.
____________________________________________________________
Nightmare Anarchy was floating through the night and gingerly made it's way to Canterlot. When it arrived it saw a useless magic barrier that could easily be eaten like last time at the cost of degenerating the body it possessed sooner. "Well it isn't my body, I couldn't care less what happens to this vessel."
It began eating the magical energy and was doing so until something had the courage to tackle it. It looked around to see what stupid creature wanted to die.
"You! the failure teacher who let his students die," Anarchy taunted.
Steel Wall wasn't going to take that nonsense from Discord, "I thought you were a good guy Discord, I guess reforming didn't work did it."
Anarchy cackled loudly, "I'm not Discord, I am Anarchy...I will show you a true nightmare, fall into the infinite darkness..."
Anarchy held it's hand up and evil magical energy poured out from it surrounding Steel Wall and engulfing him in a nightmare that he couldn't wake from. That was the plan at least until Anarchy noticed Steel Wall was unaffected.
"What is this madness? Your mind isn't broken?"
Steel Wall chuckled, "Two things you need to know about the royal guards; one is that our armor is enchanted to protect us from magic, the second thing is that we are mentally toughened so your silly mind tricks won't work."
Anarchy grew angry and enlarged one of it's arm and swatted the pony away. The recoil was minimal but Nightmare realized that Discord's body isn't physically strong.
"Well that sure wasn't fun, are you going to get up or can I continue to my main target?"
Steel Wall laughed, "You think that is enough to take me out? My grandmother hit harder than that and she had soft hooves."
Nightmare had enough of his insolence, "Fine you shall suffer."
Nightmare's body began shifting and he ripped off some scales and turned them into monsters for Steel Wall to fight. "I hope this will suffice as I have no moment to spare before this body starts to fail me."
The scales transformed into shadow beasts that resembled lions. Each beast had sharp claws and fangs with a luscious mane that made them appear aesthetically pleasing. They wasted no time and started attacking Steel Wall, and with those many numbers it wasn't going to be a cakewalk.
____________________________________________________________
The Royal Ball was in full swing. Ponies were dancing and others were talking, all were enjoying the night. It was just an all around good time. It was just about time for Twilight to address the people and finally reveal her plans as the new princess. She wasn't sure how she was going to deal with the reactions but she felt it was best to finally get it off her chest.
She was still dancing with Pinkie Pie who had looks of jealousy from stallions that wanted to dance with Twilight. Some stallions were hoping to become a prince by woo'ing the new princess. It seemed their plans would be put on hold since the royal guard was hogging her.
"Twilight!" a voice called out in desperation.
Everypony stopped what they were doing to see what was the source of the noise.
Spike ran towards Twilight, and Pinkie, and blabbered until he could get his bearings. He finally spat out, "Danger is coming. Something evil and just unnatural. I don't know what it is but Steel Wall is fighting it alone."
Pinkie Pie looked at them both, "I will need my armo-"
Twilight cut her off, "No! I will get the elements of harmony. I had them brought to the castle just in case something happened. I almost lost you last time Pinkie... I won't risk your life needlessly when we have the means to be safe."
____________________________________________________________
Nightmare Anarchy was ready to make a grand entrance, it had Discord's body and with his magical prowess and its combined it had become unstoppable.
"Now all of Equestria shall fall and I will take my rightful place as it's ruler."
It took the nearly lifeless body of Steel Wing and threw it through the window but didn't hear the shocked screams it wanted. The reaction was silence and not just any silence it was deafening,
It decided to fly into the window and see why nopony was scared or reacting only to come face to face with the Elements of Harmony.
"I see, so the little dragon whelp had made it in time. You're all ready to take me on with those silly little jewels. This time, I don't think the results will be the same."
Anarchy tried intimidating them by turning the statue into a monstrous golem and started distorting the castle's appearance to a dark and dilapidated dungeon.
____________________________________________________________
Luna and Celestia were with the guests making sure they were evacuating properly while the Elements of Harmony fought off the evil being. Shining Armor was also there helping but he felt he couldn't just leave things the way they were.
"Princess Celestia, and princess Luna, I need to help my sister, I can't let anything happen to Twiley."
Luna frowned at him, "I'm afraid you can't do anything to help her in there. You can help her by keeping my sister and your wife safe. If anything happens to my sister than the opponent wins and thus if you truly want to help then keep Celestia safe."
Shining Armor looked at her quizzically, "If I'm protecting her then what are you going to be doing?"
Luna smirked at Shining, "I will be helping them out. I'm an alicorn and I have felt this evil before. If anything is going to want to kill my sister it will have to get through me. I will make sure that if it gets past the Elements of Harmony that it won't get past me."
Celestia was going to protest but she could tell her sister was doing this for Equestria's sake rather than her own selfish ambitions. She was still upset but knew that much greater things were at stake than just her relationship.
____________________________________________________________
Twilight was watching everything go down with a calm face, "Your cheap parlour tricks don't scare me, and if you think we can be defeated try again."
"Yeah!" Pinkie Pie yelled in agreement.
Rainbow Dash had her wings flared and was ready to throw down.
Rarity was standing strong while internally being immensely scared.
Applejack had been staring daggers at the foe.
Fluttershy was trying to be brave for the group, it was an alright attempt.
Nightmare Anarchy wasn't a fan of ponies being brave in the face of danger, "Alright then how about I just get this thing started? I will crush your sou-"
It couldn't finish speaking because a blast of party had made it's way to her face.
"You dare attack me when spea-"
Another blast had ended her question while answering it at the same time.
Pinkie Pie was laughing at the bestial entity and couldn't help but launch another attack with the cannon which was both distracting to it and annoying.
Nightmare Anarchy became enraged and used it's magic to destroy the party cannon, "You're next Pinkie,"
It was ready to attack; when Twilight's eyes lit up and all the energy of the Elements bonded together and shot the prismatic energy beam at it.
The hit didn't kill or expel it but it injured it greatly. The effects of the blast did manage to weaken Anarchy's magic but Anarchy was still able to retaliate.
"Say goodbye to those annoying stones," Anarchy yelled before sending a volley of magical energy at the intended targets.
Rainbow Dash used her speed to keep her necklace safe.
Pinkie Pie used her Pinkie Sense to avoid the attacks.
Applejack used her rodeo skills to avoid being hit.
Twilight used her teleportation skills to avoid the attacks.
Rarity wasn't fortunate enough and her element got hit and knocked off.
Fluttershy was unfortunate as well.
With their elements not attached they couldn't use the spell again to permanently stop Nightmare.
Anarchy used the situation to her advantage and magically grabbed the two stray elemental gems and ate them.
"No more harmony, This world will now plunge into darkness."
____________________________________________________________
Luna and The Royal Guards had made their way from the escorting site to the area in which the battle was taking place. They arrived just in time to see the two elements being eaten. They surveyed the scene and noticed a giant golem holding Steel Wall in it's grasp preventing him from helping and the rest of the ponies trying to dodge a magical assault.
Luna decided as the guardian of the night and the temporary ruler of Equestria to do something brave. She rushed into the battle field and with magic blazing she shattered the golem and freed the severely injured captain.
"You dare attack this castle with no fear of repercussions?"
Luna had her horn lit and eyes glowing intensely. She was being backed up by the trained guards that were on security detail.
Nightmare Anarchy turned its attention away from the Elements of Harmony since they were two down and unable to use that spell.
"Luna, my former host, we had a thousand years together and you’re still clingy... Pathetic."
Nightmare Anarchy sent a black ball of energy at Luna's direction and was stopped by Luna's own magic.
"I guess you're not as strong as you once thought Nightmare," Luna said with pride.
Nightmare knew that Discord's body wouldn't last long after being hit by the initial attack it took from the other ponies. That magical blast had been too strong for the body to sustain itself after.
Anarchy also knew that if Luna was in its precense then no one was protecting Celestia and it could finally have revenge. It was going to fly past Luna and go straight for Celestia.
____________________________________________________________
The magical volley of energy that had been chasing the ponies who still had their necklaces had ceased and that meant the ponies could regroup and make a plan. They had just lost Generosity and Kindness which meant they couldn't use the bond between them to hurt Nightmare.
"Fluttershy, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked in concern.
Fluttershy nodded but cried on Rainbow Dash's neck with her face buried.
Applejack checked Rarity out to make sure she wasn't hurt as well, "Learn to dodge next time, will ya, Sugar Cube."
Rarity was offended at how Applejack was being with her, "It's not my fault that magical blasts wanted to hit me, not fair,"
Applejack kissed Rarity and sighed in relief, "Jus' glad you're okay, I was scared for a moment."
Twilight looked for Pinkie Pie who was gone and she noticed that Nightmare Anarchy and Luna was gone as well.
"Pinkie..."
____________________________________________________________
Celestia had just secured the last of the guests escape and against the orders of the Royal Guard she stayed behind. She knew she was in danger but so was everypony else and she couldn't be protected any longer. She had to fight even if it meant being destroyed in the process.
She could feel the haunting presence of something dark lurking beyond the corner and knew it was only seconds before she was attacked. She couldn't anticipate where and when the attack would happen but knew it was imminent.
"Enough games, I know I'm the target, let's get this over quickly shall we?"
Celestia didn't see it coming a magical black orb of death was about to impact her and before she could react a flash of Pink was all she saw before an explosion rung out...
____________________________________________________________
Twilight and the others heard the explosion and rushed to the source of it. Twilight was picturing many scenarios in her head and none of them were optimistic. She was hoping she didn't lose the love of her life, especially when Pinkie was so close to graduating. They were going to be married soon and nothing was going to make that change.
When she and the others arrived to the scene they noticed the damage caused by Nightmare, and that Luna was furiously battling Nightmare with all her might.
While the other ponies tried helping Luna, Twilight searched for Pinkie and Celestia. When she saw a pile of debris that could possibly be covering the ponies she started digging.
She was hoping that they were there and alive because she was on the verge of losing it. She kept removing the debris and saw a pink hoof covering a pale white body. She rushed in her attempts at excavating them and found them in one piece, which temporarily felt like a blessing.
She quickly put her head to Pinkie's chest in order to hear a beat and waited. Time felt infinitely slower in that split second it took for the heartbeat to be heard. When she heard it she was crying in joy and more determined to help put Nightmare down.
She turned towards Nightmare and her eyes became blank as her horn lit up with all the magic energy ready to burst.
"Nightmare, your time here is at an end!"
Nightmare turned to Twilight and chuckled, "Your magic won't do anything to me. If you destroy my body you destroy Discord along with it. You're not going to kill Discord are you?"
Twilight kept focusing her energy and didn't reply. The atmosphere darkened and suddenly the realization that Twilight might be willing to sacrifice Discord became apparent.
All the other ponies were too stunned to try and stop Twilight. They never seen Twilight this determined before and they knew their words would fall on deaf ears.
Twilight was ready and smirked, "Now perish!"
Twilight's magical beam was about to hit Discord's body when Nightmare decided to bail out. When the beam hit it did nothing to Discord but allow him to cough up the elements of harmony that his body had swallowed while possessed.
Nightmare wasn't upset that she bailed for she had reached the limits of her power with Discord as a host. She was going to dump his body once Celestia was dealt with anyways.
"You have achieved nothing Twilight, even with the elements of harmony you can't defeat me."
Twilight felt a hoof on her and smiled, "While the magic of friendship can't defeat you, there is one form of magic stronger than that."
Nightmare chuckled, "Doesn't matter, I'm going to destroy this place!" Nightmare gathered up all the evil energy it had attained and the powers it stole from Discord to begin creating a giant orb of pure tainted energy.
Twilight called out, "The magic of love!" before she and Pinkie's energy combined and a magical power like no other shot out of Twilight's horn and expelled the evil energy from the kingdom and ending the nightmare once and for all.

TwiPie's love blast was better than Cadance and Shining Armors. Good seeing another chapter.
5265887 Will get on that and thanks. Hopefully the last chapter really brings it all home. I started this fic in 2013 and it has been a long journey.
5266159
A long journey, but a fun one nonetheless.
ill admit to being a little dissapointed at the end there as it seemed a little anti-climactic but ive loved this story other wise and cant wait to see the final chapter as it has been a very enjoyable ride
i get what you're saying here, but it still looks weird.
5268025 I see what you mean too. Maybe I should rephrase it. I will try to edit it sometime and see if something else fits.
It's been a while. I see that you did something similar to what I said last chapter, but you instead wrote it off as Discord's weakness. Why? I can see being physically weak, he could literally drop a mountain on you, why would he waste the effort to use any form of melee attack? But too weak to hold the Nightmare? No, that would be the strength to fight back. But those were written with the Nightmare in mind, so I can see why you worded it as such. Reading this chapter was such a relief, especially since you added that time limit to Nightmares ability to posses Discord. Whether or not my tirade last chapter had anything to do with it, I do not know. But if it was always planned, could you at least have mentioned a, 'I haven't a lot of time, I must finish this quickly!' That would have saved you an entire tirade from me. Just knowing that there was indeed a limit, would have cut the rage in two. I am however, surprised that I am the only one who either questioned it, or spoke so vehemently about it. That was indeed a thing that would have and could have changed everything. FOREEEEEVERRRRR!!! Discord literally turned Equestria upside down in a matter of minutes. Imagine if he used those powers to destroy instead. Not a pleasant thought, is it?
5291448 I assure you that no outside influence had altered this story lol. I had that planned from the beginning but if I revealed a time limit so soon then it would't be as exciting to see a battle between them.
I appreciate the comment and concerns I just don't change my stories because of demands or tirades. I do however take into consideration for future stories that ideas or complaints the fans leave in the comments.
So please don't feel afraid to comment again :)
5291639 You kidding?! I'd love to keep commenting, even if you did mind! Nice to see you actually hold steadfast in your stories and their direction. It's just that, out of all things, only a lack of reason, or illogical things(in respect to the universe of the story) Grind my gears. Nightmare being able to possess Discord with no trouble? That is illogical. But the issue is solved now. Could you have Spike whack a remnant, killing it with a scroll, please? Because looking at my last comment, I see I saw me saying that Spike would be able to, and it would probably be pretty funny to have Spike finish off something that gave them so much trouble.
5268527 How about 'An orb of corrupted energy', or 'A sphere of tainted magic'?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FINISH THIS!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE WITHOUT ANYMORE!!!!!!
5740161
While I might not "die", I would really enjoy seeing this wrapped up. :)
Please continue!!!!
*sits down patiently waiting for the final chapter*
I miss this story a lot. It's one of my favorites. I wish they would come back and finish it.
