//------------------------------// // Meanwhile, in the battle of Claymore vs. Grogar // Story: My Little Pony: The Last Twonicorn // by No1MporXant //------------------------------// To help get more in the mood as I describe their battle, imagine all of this stuff happening while listening to the song Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon from the anime Attack on Titan, and just so you're aware, I'll be making lots of references to various other things that will be happening during this battle, so you may need to look up a ton of stuff. Rewinding time back to the battle of Claymore vs. Grogar, to see what happened from their angle, after the part where Grogar says "YOU DARE!!!!!!!", he shoots out Dark Magic Bolts from his Curved-Ram horns, and Claymore ninja-style leaps to dodge it, and starts shooting Magic Bolts back at Grogar, and Grogar manages to evade Claymore's bolts while still firing bolts of his own, after a bit of this dodge & fire game, we then see Claymore running off the edge of the structure they were both on, but instead of falling, he starts galloping upwards on thin air with some sort of magical pathway appearing underneath his hooves that dissipates after so many steps, like he was forming a disappearing sidewalk under his hooves as he was running in the air, similar to the purple translucent path of light that Sonic the Hedgehog ran on during the Starlight Carnival area in the game Sonic Colors(Wii version), only it's smaller and is in the color of his magic aura(Platinum Colored), and then Grogar does the same trick, only his pathway is black with a white outline(Hey just because they don't have wings, doesn't mean they still can't use gravity defying magical abilities), and the two of them climb up high above the city, where they start running around in a big circle as they keep on shooting magic bolts at each other, after a few seconds worth of that, they stop in mid-air and start unleashing attacks at each other. Grogar takes his front hoof & swipes it to fire an array of red energy spears(similar to Shadow the Hedgehog's Chaos Spear) at Claymore, then Claymore counters by taking his front hoof, and launches a crescent shaped energy boomerang that takes out all of the energy spears in one hit moving from side to side, then Claymore performs some Kung-fu-like movements, then uses both of his front hooves to form a circle(like a set of clock hands both moving in opposite directions), and within the circle are 6 glowing spheres, Claymore then unleashes those spheres as though they were fire-balls made of Kung-fu chi, Grogar then counters by swiping both his front hooves up to from a dark magic shield that is destroyed once hit with those fire-ball spheres, then Grogar claps both his front hooves together(like the Hulk's Thunder Clap) to unleash a dark magic sonic pulse, Claymore then counters by taking out one of his swords, and swipes it to unleash an energy wave that hits the sonic pulse, and they blow each other up, then Claymore charges up his horns and fires an energy sphere upwards, the sphere then bursts like a fireworks rocket, unleashing a shower of energy comets(similar to the Pokemon move Draco Meteor, only they can be controlled telekinetically), Claymore then unleashes the energy comets to home in on Grogar, but then Grogar summons a bunch of his Dark Goblins, to sacrifice themselves by taking the impact of the energy comets leaving Grogar unharmed. Grogar then summons a swarm of millions of Dark Goblins spouting out of the ground like a geyser, to attack Claymore all at once, Claymore then counters by taking both of his swords, spins them around like fan blades, and charges right into the Dark Goblin swarm as it just keeps coming, as Claymore dispatches the Goblins, they evaporate into smoke, and the swarm keeps waving & wobbling around like it was a pool noodle toy connected to a water sprinkler attachment, only the noodle has smoke coming out of it instead of water(trust me it looks pretty good in my head, just think about it hard enough), after about ten seconds Claymore has dispatched the entire swarm, then he looks to see Grogar levitating 3 entire large buildings(don't worry, even if those buildings have any twonicorns inside them, the Pods they're sealed in will keep them protected as long as they don't come into contact with silver) and throws them one by one at Claymore, then to avoid damage Claymore leaps onto the first building, galloping across it, then he leaps on to the second building, running across it on his hind legs like a ninja, and for the third building, Claymore takes out both his swords & unleashes a huge X-shaped energy wave at it, causing the building to be split into 4 pieces, and Claymore goes right through them, but then Claymore levitates the 4 building pieces and throws them right back at Grogar, Grogar then blocks the building pieces by crossing his front legs to form a barrier to protect himself, then Grogar raises his front legs up, and forms a humongous Dark Magic sphere about the size of a single story house, then he throws the giant sphere at Claymore, but then Claymore takes out his chain, then throws one end it at the giant sphere, then the chain magically latches onto the giant sphere, and Claymore then pulls on the chain to swing the giant sphere around, and then magically unlatches the chain to throw the giant sphere back at Grogar, then Claymore blasts the giant sphere with a magic beam to increase it's speed, then Grogar gets hit with his own giant sphere, and is knocked backwards so hard, that he hits the giant Dome covering the entire city & takes quite a bit of damage, then Claymore starts charging right at Grogar. But before Claymore can even get to Grogar he summons more Dark Goblins, the Goblins start taking the forms of giant fists to attack Claymore, who manages to dispatch them easily, but that was just a distraction, to allow Grogar to summon thousands more Goblins to all merge together to form one giant sized 6-Armed Dark Goblin about 100 feet tall or more, it then starts attacking Claymore, who manages to evade it but leaping from building to building around the city, then after at least 10 seconds worth of dodging the giant Goblin's attacks, Claymore then goes into the offensive by taking out both of his swords, leaping up, sticking his swords out in front of him, encasing himself & his swords in some levitation magic, then starts zooming around like a rocket with a blade mounted cone, then Claymore starts piercing right through the giant Goblin in one end & out the other side, then he soars around and does it again, then he does it several more times, then from a distance we see him zooming around turning the giant Goblin into Swiss Cheese(similar to what Nova did to Titus's ship in the episode of Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors entitled Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and believe me that was Awesome), then Claymore dives into the center of the giant Goblin, and unleashes an energy blast from inside the giant Goblin to destroy it, then Claymore lands on the rooftop of a building. And Grogar who is on another building's rooftop not too far from Claymore, then lifts up his front legs and stomps the ground to unleash a bed of huge stalagmite-like dark matter spikes heading straight for Claymore, then Claymore takes his swords, then flips himself upside down, extending his front legs as though he was standing on them, and with his swords sticking out like a double-bladed staff, he then spins around like a top while his swords are sticking out, Claymore then slices all of the spikes in front of him from the bottom, and while he slices them, he also uses levitation magic to carry them all with him, after slicing all of those spikes out, Claymore then flips back right-side up, then fires the spikes back at Grogar, who manages to evade the spikes by hovering a few inches above the ground & swifting around very quickly to avoid getting hit, Grogar then gets angry and breathes a huge stream of Shadow-Flames at Claymore, but Claymore counters it by swiping both of his front hooves away from each other, to unleash a tornado that swallows the Shadow-Flames & disperses them away, then Claymore starts running towards Grogar, but Grogar then forms a wall of red energy spears to attack Claymore, but Claymore manages to deflect them with one of his swords, then Grogar leaps above Claymore encasing him in a dome of red energy spears, then as the spears continuously shoot towards Claymore, he uses both of his swords to deflect them all, while also using swift choreography & blazing speed to evade each and everyone of them(similar to the Final Xemnas Battle from the game Kingdom Hearts 2), after about 15 or 20 seconds worth of that awesome display of swordsmanship(or in Claymore's case, Sword-Steed-ship), Claymore unleashes a magic blast to dispel the dome of energy spears, then Grogar lands back on the floor of the rooftops. Then Grogar summons more Dark Goblins, only these Goblins are all carrying chunks of metal, Grogar then uses his Dark Magic to fuse the Goblins and the metal together to forge a pair of Shadow-Scythes(because let's face it, a scythe is pretty bad-ass as a weapon), then Grogar and Claymore quickly stare each other down, then they both let out warrior battle screams and go charging at each other, then they basically have one of those generic sword fights, but because they both can levitate their weapons, this will allow for better choreography during their fight, as they fight we see them both swiftly moving around, and we also see white flashes on the screen as their blades clash with each other, after at least 10 or more seconds worth of that, Grogar then begins floating and fires a Magic Beam at Claymore, and Claymore floats while firing a Magic Beam at Grogar, while that's happening both the Swords & Scythes are still clashing with each other, because Claymore & Grogar are still controlling them while multitask-battling, as their Magic Beams make contact, they both bend upwards and they end up forming a swirling cloud of Dark Magic & Twonicorn Magic, and while still firing their Magic Beams, Grogar summons even more Dark Goblins to attack, and Claymore responds to this by levitating out all of his Shurikens, as well as take out his chain & detach all of it's links, and then uses them with his magic to hit all of the Dark Goblins Grogar keeps summoning, from a distance this looks like a swarm of glowing bugs are quickly buzzing around attacking a bunch of shadows that just keep coming and evaporating into smoke, and Claymore & Grogar just keep on firing their Magic Beams while still clashing their blades all at the same time(now that's what I call Magical Multitasking, Twilight could sure learn a lot from those guys), the two of them keep doing this for a few seconds. Then finally they drop everything, and they decide it's time to finish this(Dragon Ball franchise Super Sayian style), Grogar encases himself in a burst of Dark Magic to the point where all we see is his White outline surrounded by a flaming Black aura, and Claymore encases himself in a burst of Twonicorn Magic to the point where all we see is his Black outline surrounded by a flaming Platinum aura, then the two of them charge at each other, then they collide with each other, and so far it appears that they are evenly matched, like the Unstoppable Force meeting the Unmovable Object, then after about 10 seconds or something worth of that, we start to see that Claymore is starting to get exhausted, because he's been warring himself out keeping Grogar distracted for so long, and he doesn't want to go for broke and completely exert himself beyond his limit just yet, then finally Grogar overpowers Claymore, and Claymore is knocked backwards stumbling across the rooftops, until he comes to a stop and is shown to be badly injured with scuffs & bruises(now I just had to make it so that Claymore would lose this fight, because it would show everyone that not even the most powerful equine in the world could handle everything all by himself, since this is MLP: FiM and all something had to happen to teach a friendship lesson in all of this). When Twilight notices Claymore's whoopin' from a distance she shouts "CLAYMORE!" and flies towards his position, only to be swamped by an overwhelming number of Dark Goblins. WHEW, I got to tell ya, trying to describe their battle was pretty much the hardest part about typing this whole thing, it's very difficult to take the images of a fight THIS intense out of my head, and translate them into words, and describe certain scenes using references, but in the end I did it, and I hope all of you out there reading this will appreciate all of the effort I put into this, because it was not easy.
