//------------------------------// // The War Against Giygas // Story: EquestriaBound Girls 2: The Journey for the Eight Magical Melodies // by Lucky Ness //------------------------------// -After Ness has played the song with the Rainbooms- "I think that was perfect!" Pinkie exclaims as she and the others return to their normal forms. "I have to agree with you, Pinkie." Ness says as he lands on his feet. " I think we're ready for the fight against the Cosmic Destroyer himself! All we have to do is find him." He says as he turns towards Pinkie. Pinkie starts to shake violently. "Giygas is in the Everfree Forest! I can feel it!" She exclaims as she recovers from her shaking fit. "Then we need to head out as soon as possible." Ness says as the Chosen Four and the Rainbooms walk outside. "The longer we wait, the more time Giygas has to defend himself." He says as he and his friends help Applejack load the instruments into her truck. He checks that everyone is ready to go before he and his friends get in the car that Rainbow's driving to the Everfree Forest ---- It took less then an hour to get to the Everfree Forest. Ness had everyone stop at the entrance by using his Telepathy to speak to everyone's minds. "Applejack, I'll be walking along in front of the vehicles from here on out." He says as he steps out of Rainbow's car. "Giygas will have taken every precaution imaginable, including putting his influence over as many of the animals native to the forest." He says as he pulls out his bat. "He'll not want to let these instruments make it to the center of the forest." Ness starts running ahead of the vehicles as fast as he can. "He dispatches every threat he encounters with either one or two swings of his bat, which including the bears and timber wolves Giygas threw at them when they were over half way into the forest. They eventually make it into the center of the forest where they see the grey alien floating above the ground. "You've finally arrived." He says with an evil laugh as the Rainbooms remove their instruments from the bed of Applejack's truck. "Now to destroy you and all hope for this puny world!" He yells as he launches an unrecognizable attack at them. "PSI SHIELD!" Paula yells as a shield of reflective light envelops the group, lessening the attacks energy. "Now's our chance!" Ness says as he pulls Ninten's Ocarina out of his pocket and puts it to his lips. He starts to blow while at the same time that the Rainbooms start to play. As they play, the group of nine friends start to float up into the air as they pony up. It's then that they start to sing, each one of them singing the respective portion of the melody that they had obtained from their Sanctuary. After Princess Twilight finishes her portion of the song, a rainbow launches from them, flying up in an arc before hitting Giygas square in the heart. An explosion of light follows, engulfing the group of twelve friends in warmth. After the light fades, everyone can see that Giygas lying on the ground. "Did, uh, did we win?" Fluttershy asks. Ness floats over to Giygas and casts the familiar green glow of PSI Healing over him. Giygas doesn't respond, remaining limp on the ground. "Giygas is no more." Ness says as he turns around and looks at his friends. "The War against Giygas is over." He says with relief as he turns back towards Giygas's remains. "We can finally relax, but I think we should give Giygas here a proper burial first he says as he starts to dig a hole in the ground with his PSI. The others quickly start to help Ness with giving Giygas his final resting place.
