A group of seven creatures stacked towards three ponies. Two Earth Ponies stood between the creatures and the Unicorn. Her right back leg had a large gash down it and her pale horn had three small cracks in it. Every time she tried to conjure up magic. Sparks flew from the cracks and she let out a shriek of pain. The two Earth Ponies clinched their weapons in their teeth and waited for the creatures to attack. Before the creatures could lung at the ponies a flash appeared between the ponies and creatures.
In a flash, Discord appeared between the ponies and creatures. He lifted his massive buster sword and let it rest on his shoulder as he whipped his head back to let his spiky blond hair bounce. He smiled before he lunged for the creatures. He swung down his sword and sliced through one of the creatures like a warm knife through butter. Without missing a beat, Discord spun around and whipped the sword towards another creature. The creature, however, jumped back and avoided the strike. The creature that had been stacking Discord did not. It had lunged for Discord but found the sharp blade of the sword as it pierced between the creature's eyes. Discord ripped the blade from the creature's skull and spun it like it was weightless before he let it rest on his shoulder.
The remaining creatures started to slowly walk backward from Discord, but before they could take another step. Flames erupted from the ground behind causing the creatures to jump. The flames stretched around in a circle and trapped the creatures, Ponies, and Discord inside. One of the creatures looked at the wall of flames behind it before it turned back and met Discord's glare. Discord moved his sword from his shoulder and lowered it to the ground as his voice turned low and gravely as he growled, "There is no escape"
Discord lunged at the creatures and swung his sword. He quickly and with precision sliced one of the creatures. However, when he sliced the creature in half, he continued to slice at each half until the creature was reduced to perfect cube chunks. He then turned his attention to another creature and began the process all over again. One of the creatures took the risk and jumped through the wall of flames to escape Discord's flurry. As soon as it reached the other side it began to roll to put out the flames. However, the flames didn't go out. Instead, the flames seemed to slither into the creature's skin. The creature wailed as it continued to roll around on the ground as it tried to get the sensation of being burned to stop. The burning sensation seemed to stop and the creature lay on the ground breathing heavily. It rolled over on its stomach and stood up.
As soon as the creature took a breath in. flames ripped out of its body and rose up to form a tree. The tree made of fire lasted for several seconds before it withered away. The creature's body began to change to ash. The ring of fire sunk back into the ground as Discord spun his sword and a sort of victory music seemed to appear from nowhere. The three ponies looked around in confusion before there was a flash and Discord was gone.
A flash appeared high above the battle. Discord reared back his griffin claw as lightning began to spark around it. Without looking, his griffin's talon shot out a bolt of lightning into the air. A roar of thunder echoed in the air as clouds start to form as Discord smile and folded his arms in front of him. From the storm clouds rained down lightning bolts. The blots passed through discord and continued to rain down towards the battle.
The air battle was the first to encounter the lightning. The creatures roared and tried their best to avoid the raining lightning bolts. One of the lightning bolts hit a creature's shoulder and exploded. Chunks of the creature's flesh exploded into the air as its right arm severed from its body. Dragons, Griffins, Changelings, and Pegasi began to frantically avoid the raining lightning. The ground forces did the same as the chaos on the battle made Discords smile grow.
A Changeling collided with a Pegasus as it tried to keep from being hit by the lightning. The Pegasus twirled in the air before she was able to correct herself, but when she did. A bolt of lightning shot towards her. She closed her eyes and waited for the enviable. However, the lightning bolt phased straight through her like she wasn't even there and slammed into the head of a creature that was flying towards her. The creature's head popped like a pimple and its limp body fell back towards the ground. Seeing this, the Dragons, Griffins, Changelings, and Pegasi all stopped and watched as the lightning just phased through them and hit the creatures.
The ground troops did the say as the air forces as they watched the creatures scramble to avoid the lightning bolts. Before long the ground and air forces began to attack the creatures as the lightning continued to rain down on the battlefield. With Discord helping it seemed the battle was favoring the Ponies, Dragons, Changelings, and Griffins. One of the creatures jumped back from a Changeling as his battle axe slammed into the ground. It let out a shrill roar before darting back into the Everfree Forest. More of the creatures let out a shrill roar before running into the Everfree. Soon enough the remaining creatures ran back into the Everfree.
"They're retreating," a Pegasus gasped before he threw his hooves in the air and screamed with joy, "They're retreating!" the group of Ponies, Dragons, Changelings, and Griffins began cheering as more and more of the creatures retreated back into the forest and out of sight.
Discord let out a sigh and stated, "That's it? That wasn't very fun." He let out another sigh and mumbled, "Why is it I always show up at the back end of the excitement."
Once the cheering died down. The mob of Dragons, Griffins, Ponies, and Changelings began to tend to their wounded. Normal Unicorns and Changelings used their magic to patch up and tend to those who seemed to leave the battle with superficial or non-life threatening injuries. Medical ponies began tending to those who seemed worse for wear as Changelings and Griffins helped the medical staff the best they could. Celestia thanked the medical pony who mended her broken wing and started to head over to a group of Dragons looking down into the creator that housed Drake's body. One of the dragons reared back and roared as one by one the other Dragons joined in.
Celestia stopped and winced a little as the roar sounded more like a cry then a Dragon's Roar. Celestia felt a wing on her back and saw Luna standing next to her with her right wing over he back. Celestia smiled at Luna and thanked her. She was about to walk towards the group of Dragons when she noticed Cadence was frantically looking around and talking with ponies. With every conversation, it seemed her fear and concern grew.
"Cadence, what's wrong?" Luna asked as Cadence made her way towards Luna and Celestia.
"I can't find Shining Armor anywhere," Cadence sobbed as she looked around and added, "No one seems to know where he is." The tears started to form in her eyes as she looked around trying to find a small glimpse of her husband.
"What?!" Twilight yelled. She had walked up behind the sisters and heard Cadence and now she was frantically looking around for Shining Armor.
"Calm down you two. Shining Armor has to be around here somewhere. We can search together," Celestia reassured the two before the four Alicorns began their search.
