//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: The golden soul // Story: Golden Soul // by Inactive Pone //------------------------------// She flew back to Canterlot and busted through the top of the castle, where she was fighting a while ago. When Felix turned around, he couldn't believe was he was seeing. 'What in the flipping world are you!? I have worked on that spell for so long... how are you still alive!?' He shouted. 'That doesn't matter. Please, show me mercy and I will let you go if you mean it.' 'No, never! I don't need you! I don't need anyone!' Felix cried. The girl was worried. 'Come on, Felix. I know your real self is not like this. Your real self, the real Felix, was sunken deep down into your dark heart. You need to snap out of it!' She touched Felix's shoulder, but then he pushed her away. 'I said... I don't need anyone's pity!' He yelled at her. 'It's too late to turn back to what I have destroyed... And now, I must finish this genocide...' He pulled out his swords again. 'BY DESTROYING YOU!' Hanging on to her hopes and dreams, she took her last stand against the villain, who was singing again. 'Now hold on... To the dreams... You created... For a happy life! It's alright... All the things... We sought for... Will soon be all worth this fight! I will not... Destroy this world, I control time... Frisk, you will be mine! Your friends and your memories, Will all fade... We'll do it all over, Frisk, you will not forget! The best part? I know you'll do it, And you'll lose to your best friend! Lose again, Over and over, That's what you'll do for your best friend! Cause you want a happy ending, You love your friends, Who could blame you? You're filled with determination, Frisk!' 'That is not my name!' 'We'll be here, Fighting together, Playing for eternity, The strength that let you get this far, It's nothing compared to me! I feel your determination, I feel their hopes and dreams! They give me the strength to be here, fighting for eternity! I've messed around with you for far too long, Let's go and fight again! Please come with me, Frisk, Come join your best friend!' 'That is not my name!' 'Stop trying to live, Just stop your dodging, Stop standing in my way! Please let me win... This final battle!' 'Frisk Dreemur's not my name!' 'You think you are something special? You're just a kid playing pretend! Don't get cocky now, Frisk Dreemur, Soon enough you'll meet your end!' 'You think you are something special? You're just a kid playing pretend! Don't get cocky, little Felix, Soon enough I'll free your true self!' 'You think you could ever defeat me!? No, my friend... We'll be fighting for eternity! You have lost everything, Your friends and dreams! Now you will fail here, I'll be victorious!' 'We'll never give up on our hopes and dreams, We'll never give up for all eternity!' 'But I've been holding back on you till now, let's see if you can survive this... Die for me!!!' 'This time, you will surely die!' Felix shouted, performing the explosion spell he used to kill his friend the first time. As the explosion was triggered, she thought she had no hope left, this was the end for her. 'Not like this!!!' She cried. But nothing happened. 'Wh-What?' In fact, something seemed to be protecting the girl, some kind of border shone around her. 'What? No, what's wrong with me!? What is happening to me!?' Felix was feeling much pain through his body. Suddenly, the seven souls levitated out of his treasure chest and flew to the side of the circular border. 'NO! The souls! Why are they disobeying me!?' He yelled. She was pleased. 'Wow... They never forgot about me after all...' She thought, turning to him. 'Don't you get it, Felix? Even with all that magic and power... You'll always be alone if you continue on like this. The true magic I control now, consists of Bravery and Honesty...' Suddenly, what looks like the ghosts of the seven humans and the seven ponies, started to appear one by one in her command. 'Laughter and Justice, Ultimate Kindness, Patience and Generosity, Integrity and Loyalty, Perseverance and Friendship, Hope and Magic!' Soon, the seven pairs were sending some kind of magic towards her. 'I understand you, Felix.. and I have the permission to use the most powerful magic in existence!' When she was transforming, the voices of her friends started to sing to her and encourage her on this final battle. 'Hear our voices, As we sing again, We'll write a new symphony! Lost in this silence, Used in his violence, We'll keep you company!' 'He lost his way long ago... We'll punish him, even so...' 'What is this!? You broke from my hold!? Impossible! I'll regain control! I'm your god, your king! You can't do anything... Anymore!' 'Fight with determination! You've had your fun, But now we're the ones, Who hold the determination! We have the way, To pass her the gold soul, So that she'll win this fight! 'No! This isn't right! I can't lose this fight!' 'Free from this dark age, We'll stop your rampage, Protect the ponykind! This is our last chance, We'll do one last try. United as one! 'Your chaos will end, We will prevail, Give the human an opening! Blow after blow, You will fall closer, Into the pits of hell! 'No, I refuse! I WILL NEVER QUIT!' 'This fight is over, We will get the win, And you'll be punished for your crime! It'll be easy, To put you to death, Before we all vanish... It's up to you now, Determined legend! You've got the ultimate blow! Unleash your power, On that killer, Three, two, one, LET'S GO!' As soon the song ended, enough magic was transferred to the girl, and she unleashed it all at once, transforming to her ultimate form. The explosion of magic knocked Felix far away. When she opened her eyes, a mythical glow was surrounding her, and her skin was navy, even the wings! Then, she saw a very special soul levitating before her. 'No....No no NO! You're supposed to belong to me!!!' Felix cried. '(Gasp) The golden soul! He was telling the truth!' She thought. A second later, the soul went inside of the girl's body, and now she is fully prepared and ready to show the power of friendship on her consumed friend. 'Why... Why are you still standing? Why are you still trying to stop me, Frisk!?' Said Felix angrily, looking prepared to fight. She had a little grin. 'My name... Is Dreamlight Sparkle!' And so the fight and the previous song continues, but this time, Dreamlight is winning. 'In my heart... There's something strong... That will keep me moving on! In my hopes... Proof that my... Happy days will never be gone!' In harmony, the voices of her friends cheer on for her in this final fight. 'Here we are, Here we stand, Fight together again! Our hopes and dreams will not fail, We will win and see the sun! We've come far, Here we are, To reach what we 're destined to do, It has been tough, But we won't give up, For a new day is on the rise!' 'Oh, Felix... Please do not quail, You have walked a lonesome trail, Peace and love will sure prevail, Help me end this sorry tale...' Seeing her trying so hard, Felix's soul was hoping to escape soon. 'Deep inside, I feel a fire, Burns within me, ever higher... Knowing I will soon prevail, Knowing I can end this tale...' 'In every dream, There is a chance, We grabbed it at our first glance, Life plays the song, We make the dance, It's been like this forever!' 'Following our hopes and dreams, Although nothing's quite what it seems, Life keeps flowing like a stream, So let's stay together!' 'Time to open up your eyes, Time to see who you truly are. I won't give up the chance to save you, And I know we could go far...' 'I heard the tales they told to me, This happy ending cannot be... Let's go together, we shall see... Together for eternity!' Suddenly, the memories are flooding back! 'Wh-What? What happened?' He asked. '(gasp) Frisk? What are you-' 'Felix? Is this really you?' Dreamlight was surprised. But as soon he wanted to say anything, his dark version of himself managed to take over him again, and pushed her far away with a spell. 'NO! I don't need you!' He screamed. And then, the moment of truth finally came. This was her chance to save him. 'Wait... This is my chance! I can break his heart right now!' As both sides got ready for their last resort, the sounds of her friends were shouting and cheering for her from the surrounding souls around her. 'You are in charge now!' Twilight said. 'You're the future of the ponykind!' Jessica said with joy. 'Yeah! You can beat that murderer to dust!' Mark said, determined. 'We're here for you, Dreamlight!' Fluttershy said, feeling unusually great. 'We'll always be with you, no matter what!' Rainbow swore. Even the princesses were cheering for her. 'We believe in you, our legend!' Finally, Asriel was levitating before her. 'Frisk... No, Dreamlight, you are fully ready now, time to finish him!!' With all of the magic sent from all her friends, her power grew and grew, and it was finally her turn to overpower him. Felix, oblivious to the situation, was still charging up his attack. 'Just let me win!!!' He cried loudly, firing the explosion spell. As soon he did the spell, Dreamlight responded quickly by firing her rainbow beam. The moment it contacts the bomb, it destroyed it like it was nothing! As Felix struggled to keep himself alive with a magic shield, the girl had one last trick up her sleeve. 'The golden soul belongs to me now... And because of it, I carry in me the most powerful magic of all, the magic of friendship!' At an instant, the beam grew multiple times stronger, shattering the shield in a blink of an eye, and finally broke his heart, all of the dark magic seeping away. '(Screams) NO!!!!' He cried, as his dark soul was finally broken. As it broke, the power of the dark magic knocked Dreamlight back, and she passed out after the blast. In her mind, she can merely hear her friend, softly speaking to her. 'Do you know why I am doing this?' 'Do you understand my feeling?' 'Why don't you see how I felt, Frisk?' As the sound faded, memories were flooding into both minds.
