The Group of the Mane Six, Ricky, Celestia, Luna, and Discord walked into the Throne room of the Castle of the Two Sisters, finding the heart of the creature outside inside, but were shocked at how it was changed: everything was cleaned up, the banners were now displayed with black and purple colors, and the bridge between the two thrones now had the thrones merged into one big black throne with purple cushions and spikes. As well as Kul'as himself who sat on the throne.
"Oh hello Elements of Harmony, and Ricky."
"Hello, Kul'as." Discord said with venom in his voice.
"Oh Discord, I was worried about you, still betraying your family?"
Discord snap his fingers but whatever he attempted to create came it's usual flash of white but instantly dissipated into yellow energy the heart sucked up.
"Yeah that ain't happening, any unusual magic, this thing sucks up like a sponge."
"So that's your plan? Suck up any magic coming through here?" Twilight asked.
"Oh no. You think so small, this will expand outward towards your little town and drain it's residents and your giant glass figurine of a house of their magic like a cold drink on a hot day. Then maybe outward until all of Equestria is a barren and dead wasteland, where I rule having all the magic." Kul'as' eyes widened as a realization hit him. "That timeline of death and ash. That going to be my kingdom. I'm cool with that. I'll be able to revitalize the land to reshape it in my image."
"No. You won't." Celestia replied stepping forward alongside Luna.
"Ok let's go Princess I lost to an overgrown cricket, bring out the 'harmony will prevail' speech your mother had."
"Speech this." Luna replied firing a concussive blast at Kul'as knocking him out of his throne.
Kul'as got up shaking before cracking his back. "Ok I like this." Kul'as said, his four hands glowing purple with power. The Heart convulsed before spitting out a samurai helmet that landed perfectly on Kul'as' head.
Kul'as charged forward slashing at the Two Sisters, missing every slash as they fired back, Celestia and Luna putting up shields at time and firing at precise spots. Luna charged closer, becoming much more aggressive in her blasts, landing one shot at Kul'as' shoulder.
Kul'as stood back rubbing the spot. "So moody, I take it you're pretty mad at that whole corrupting you thing. If it makes you feel better it's entirely you're fault, I merely pushed you in the direction." Luna growled tackling him and actually punching Kul'as.
"You took our mother, you took 1000 years of joy and freedom, you will never rob anyone of anything ever again!"
Kul'as caught her hoof than grabbed the other one before lifting her up. "Maybe, who knows, I know this. This time I will be the reason." Kul'as shoved his lower hands into Luna's chest, glowing with black light as Luna choked as if gasping for air, her coat beginning to darken as her pupils began to slit. Celestia attempted to stop Kul'as but was met with tentacles from the creature preventing her from helping.
Celestia growled as Luna's mane turned a lighter tone, like a starry mist. Kul'as smiled as he felt his influence began to take hold, were it not for the red magic blast that sent him into a wall, ripping the dark essence right out of Luna.
Luna was quivering, feeling cold before looking at where the blast came from. Celestia eyes were cat like and burning like embers, her mane growing into a raging inferno.
"Luna, run." Was all she said before her ornaments stretched into a burnt orange armor.
Kul'as pulled himself out of the rubble and found Celestia facing him, sporting a serrated toothed smile. "Dodged a bullet from Daybreaker?" She asked with sinister intentions.
"Not funny." Kul'as said before she breathed fire towards him, Kul'as flying up using blasts from his lower hands to propel him up to avoid the flame. Daybreaker redirected her fire to the air before Kul'as countered with his own pitch black fire. Daybreaker stopped to fly up tackling the tyrant to the ground. Daybreaker then slammed him around clutching to his helmet before clocking him in the face firing a concussive blast at his chest sending him into the throne splitting it in two.
Kul'as laid there in his thrones remains, groaning as Daybreaker was proving his greatest fear with his current state of strength.
Daybreaker trotted over, leaving a crack in the floor with every step, her wings open to intimidate him, Kul'as struggling to crawl away before she grabbed him and held him up by his neck, her horn glowed brightly.
"Go ahead." Kul'as said with a smile. "Do it."
"With pleasure." Daybreaker replied with a sinister grin, her horn glowing brighter, aiming directing for his heart with a plan to rise up to his brain as well.
"Whoa whoa it was a tease I didn't actually mean it c'mon I'm your nemesis, the always escaping bane of your existence, this is not how quick it ends!" Kul'as said in a panic, filling Daybreaker with disgust at his pitiful beg for mercy of all things, but was slowly replaced with pleasure at the fact she was making the so called Great Lord Kul'as beg for his miserable and soon coming to an end life.
"Don't." A voice said. Daybreaker looked over with a scowl.
"Whoever said that save your breath, he has caused all our suffering with the chaos he's unleashed even in death. Let me kill him and all this horror can finally end."
Everyone was shocked that Celestia of all ponies used the K word, signifying either how much of Daybreaker was influencing her, or how deep her hatred of Kul'as truly went.
"Yeesh even I'm pretty shocked." Kul'as gagged before Daybreaker tightened her grip around his throat causing him to choke out. "Ok, shutting up, shutting up."
Ricky stepped forward, unflinching at Daybreak firing a few warning shots at his feet. Daybreaker then made aim for Ricky's chest but found herself unable to go through with it. Ricky put a claw on her shoulder causing her to growl before Ricky said something that shocked her.
"It's over Tia, just beat him, don't become him."
Daybreaker felt some anger at him using a nickname only her family members were ever allowed to use, but his words touched her core feeling something for him. Her eyes slowly began to change back as her appearance began to change back to that of Celestia, who then dropped Kul'as leaving him gasping for air.
Celestia hugged Ricky before looking at Kul'as. "Former Lord Kul'as, for your crimes against the world, you are clearly as guilty as how easily Daybreaker beat you, you will not receive parole, we're thinking either banishment across the stars or stone imprisonment."
"Oh no I don't think so." Kul'as said before running for the heart firing magic into it. The Heart began to convulse and grow before a massive pink boot kicked him into the heart causing it to somehow implode into a dimensional hole.
Everyone looked to see Pinkie with her part cannon, another boot next to her.
"What? He was just standing there."
"I vote to go in." Discord replied. "Whatever other magic that heart has isn't good in his hands."
"For once I agree, let's have our final battle." Ricky replied running for the hole followed by the others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kul'as screamed as he fell down and down into the void. "You can't kill me that easily! I'm the destined king of all Equis!!" He shouted before landing on the ground. He got up and saw he was in some kind of graveyard, surround instead by things from eras long forgotten, a run down crumbling castle, a petting zoo looking field over there, parts of the ground were covered in some kind of purple glop.
Kul'as looked to his heart and growled. "Let's see how much you're worth." He fired his magic into it causing it to write around latching onto the ground, unearthing long lost rubble and ancient dragon bones beneath it, creating...something.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group landed and were in awe at the mass grave like landscape around them.
"Where the heck are we?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Even I don't know, and I'm able to find almost every spot."
"You can call it Limbo." A voice said everyone turning around to see none other then Kul'as himself. "A place where the universes long forgotten are sent to to make room for other ones. No matter what it was called, Dream Valley, Ponyland, whatever, if it's a past generation of you little ponies, Starlight's alternate timelines, any of that, this is the garbage dump for it all, and your soon to be graves."
Suddenly, something rose out of the ground behind him, revealing it as some kind of large dragon zombie, about as big as the Former Dragon Lord Torch, with pieces of the debris around them attached to it's body, the magic siphoning parasite now rooted into it like a unnatural growth all across it's body. Above it on it's head, Kul'as was controlling it through some of the tentacles on it's head like strings on a puppet.
"Let's go." He taunted as his dragon unfurled it's massive wings before letting out an ghastly undead roar followed by a breath of a dark purple fire.
Rainbow Dash began flying around the dragon hitting where she could to try and beat it alongside Applejack and The Wirewolves but she and Applejack felt themselves becoming weaker with each hit eventually falling back.
"I think that things still sucking up magic, I'm tired flying just from hitting it." Rainbow said panting with exhaustion.
"You gals might be, I'm having a grand time since I don't have magic in me." Terry said hitting at a leg before the Dragon knocked him away like a fly over the horizon. "I regret nothing!"
"So what can we do? Anything we do just fuels that thing undoing the damage."
"What about self inflicting damage?" Rarity queried causing Twilight's eyes to widen with an idea.
Twilight ran around the dragon earning it's attention as she flew up and close by it's growth's. The Dragon roared slamming down trying to squash her like an annoying fly, only to hit itself damaging the parasite causing the dragon to come apart a little. Kul'as seemed to panic a little as the others took to Twilight's idea and began doing the same causing the Dragon to attack more frantically breaking it down even more.
Kul'as tugged on the strings feeling the weigh beneath him becoming lighter. "Stop! I command thee you pile of worm food!" Kul'as yelled at it before it's legs began to collapse. "Aw man." He bemoaned before it fully collapsed on the ground in a pile of bones and the parasite.
"Give up Kul'as, it's finally over." Twilight taunted as Kul'as struggled to get up.
"No way." Kul'as replied lowly. "In fact... I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!!" He roared out before reviving the dragon zombie with his magic causing it to rise again, this time Kul'as flying from a distance from it as the dragon was now able to move under it's own power.
A popping sound caught everyone's ears and they looked to see Cesar away from the battle field with a full orchestra at the ready. "Hey a final battle means a big musical crescendo."
Most of the group rolled their eyes as the music began to build up facing the dragon.
"It's payback time!" Kul'as said through the dragon.
"Is that all you have to say?" Rarity snarked.
"Well, well, well
what a pest you are." Kul'as begin, the dragon slamming at the ground attempted to squash any of them.
"Still around? Ooohh,
can't say I like that.
So why don't you just give up, you know, surrender?!"
"It's over, It's over, your scheme was bound to fail." Celestia sang firing a magic blast alongside her sister taking out it's back legs.
"It's over. Your finished here. Your next stop will be jail!"
"They mock me. They fight me. I don't know know which is worse.
I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first." Kul'as sang attempting to squish them before the Dragon glowed with purple energy, regrowing it's wings back and jumped up into the air.
"What's this? A trick? I'm not impressed. You're bad and now your tall.
It makes it all the more worthwhile to see a giant fall." Luna sang before harnessing some of her dark magic within her to take on some of the strength of Nightmare Moon, appearance included.
"Talk, talk, talk, but I'll tell you, this giant's goin nowhere.
If I were you, I'd take a hike. There's danger in the air." Kul'as sang as the dragon tried and failed to smash Nightmare. Nightmare then began to charge up her magic, lightning striking around the dragon.
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh! Ha, ha, ha!"
"I'm the only Nightmare Queen!" She sang out firing all her dark magic sending the Dragon crashing into the ground, reverting back into Luna.
"Equestria is for it's Ponies." Twilight said.
"Oddly confident for a friendship lover." Kul'as replied before her mane caught aflame in rage as Celestia turned into Daybreak tapping into her own dark magic.
"Well I'm feeling angry, and there's plenty left to do." Twilight said blasting at the Dragons left torn wing.
We've fought your most unwelcome help, and know we're after you!" Daybreaker sung firing a blast slicing it right off.
"Even if you catch me, you could never do me in!
I'm ten stories high and just as strong. Which means I'm gonna win!" The Dragon attempted to crush the two alicorns with it's growing ice claws, clutching Celestia before her mane melted it right off.
"Whoa oh!" Twilight and Daybreaker harmonized together.
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh oh!"
"Whoa oh!" They sang together before Daybreak emptied all her Dark Magic at the Kul'as Dragon alongside Twilight charring part of the dragon black.
"I'm the only Solar Queen!" Daybreaker sang reverting back to Celestia as Twilight's fire mane went out as she calmed down.
"This ends here." Discord said.
"Okay that was your first joke that wasn't funny."
"It's over. Your'e finished. You'll never get away.
You? The Entire Equis King? That'll be the day!" The Mane Six sang in unison doing what they could to damage the dragon helped by Ricky and the Wirewolves.
"How feeble! How childish! Is that the best you got?
You think that you're all hero, girls. But I think you are not." Kul'as sang as the dragon attempted to smash them again. "And I'm gonna show you my stuff."
"Oh just what're you gonna do that we haven't seen?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'm gonna do the best I can." Kul'as then firing down a relentless barrage of dark magic as the dragon slammed around the ring and breathed fire everywhere to an instrumental laughing all the way. The Dragon rose into the air charging with all it's power as Kul'as sang his crescendo.
"Whoooah!
The sound of your dying screams to me is music in the air.
Cause I'm the gamblin' Boogie Man. Althought I don't play fair.
It's much more fun, I must confess, when live~~s are on the line.
Not mines of course, but yours my friends, now that'd be just fine." The only ones not on the ground in pain after getting hit from the barrage were the Mane Six, who rose glowing with the Power of Harmony and the Royal Sisters, who had rose into the air.
"Whoa oh!" Kul'as sang creating a shield around the dragon and himself
"Whoa oh!" The group sang, the Mane Six glowing the color of their respective Elements of Harmony, the Tree back in Equestria glowing, empowering the Bearers of Harmony to end Kul'as plan once and for all.
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"Whoa oh!"
"We're the only Friendship Queens!" They sang out blasting the dragon, the shield struggling to hold against the power of Friendship, before it began to crack, then blasting right through it, the Dragon screeched in pain as it was being completely vaporized from existence. Kul'as fell to the ground in pain, his control of the now gone dragon broken. Kul'as struggled to get up, looking to see The Mane Six, glowing with a harmonious aura.
"Lord Kul'as of whatever horrid monstorsity spawned you, you have brought endless chaos and suffering to Equis." Twilight said, her voice echoing with the unknown power of Harmony. "For this, you will not be killed like before, you will be banished far from this world to protect it from your sick mind."
"Yeah I don't think so." Kul'as replied kicking her off her hooves than scurrying away from the magic blasts like a bug before unfurling his wings and flying off.
"The Great Kul'as escapes karma again!!" He said flying off in triumph, disappearing over the horizon.
"He will return, as it is his nature, but he will eventually see the light, and help us in the eternal fight against the shadows." Twilight said before the glow died and she blinked like she just woke up. "What happened, I blacked out after we hit that dragon."
"I think The Tree of Harmony just used you girls like a puppet to talk to Kul'as. It's right though, he will be back, and we'll be ready." Ricky replied.
"We finally beat that meanie, it was at least a day but it feels like years of fighting are finally over." Pinkie said winking at the reader.
"A celebration I say!" Cesar yelled out packing up his orchestra.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was gathered for the new party: the last of Kul'as' dark forces were finally gone, everyone was safe enjoying Pinkie Pie's most massive party yet, now bigger thanks to her new Genie Boost.
Ricky was enjoying his drink before noticing Celestia sitting alone. He walked over finally building up the confidence for something he always wanted to do. "Hey Tia, could I ask you something?"
"Sure. What's on your mind?"
"Well I'm just thinking how easy it was for us to win but then I thought if this was easy what's next for me should be no problem."
"And What's that?"
"Asking if you'd be up for getting coffee and just walking some time."
Celestia let a big smile come onto her face. "Of course. That sounds so lovely. I'll let you know the time."
"T-Thanks." Ricky replied stunned as she walked away.
"You alright buddy?" Cesar asked pooping in.
"She said yes. SHE SAID YES!" Ricky yelled happily.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Cesar asked Discord and Pinkie.
"End Credits musical number like we're in Bollywood?" Discord answered.
"This is why I missed you guys." Cesar replied before looking to the reader and slapping a clear saying one thing.
"Hit it!" Discord yelled. The Music flared to life as Discord, Pinkie and Cesar danced on stage. "Three Chaos Makers ya'll!"
"She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall" Cesar sang as the Mane Six and Luna danced to the riff following his lyrics, ponies watching such as Thorax and Ember trying not to laugh at Twilight's inability to dance.

But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain!" Pinkie sang
"Come on!" The Trio sang.
"Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha

Cesa tossed the mike into the crowd where it was caught by Terry who cracked his knuckles.
"Woke up in Neigh York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must've slipped me a sleeping pill" He sang as Luna grabbed the mike sharing it with Celestia.
"She never drinks the water
And makes you order French champagne
Once you've had a taste of her
You'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane!" They sang joined by Terry.
"Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca
Livin' la vida loca
She's livin' la vida loca"
Everyone got deep into the music, even as Chrysalis somehow managed to sneak in, attempting revenge only to get caught up in the songs catchiness.
"She'll make you take your clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!" Everyone sang.
"Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca!" Cesar rewound time back for once more chorus.
"Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca
Come on!
Livin' la vida loca
Come on!
She's livin' la vida loca!!"
Everyone did whatever finishing dance move they had as the music built up, louder and louder before with a final "Livin la vida loca", a large boom shook the town as Cesar and Pinkie both jumped down for a perfect spilt finish.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kul'as approached the sleeping chupacabra sleeping on the ground, the fires of Tartarus roaring after being dormant for thousands of years. His eyes glowed purple as it's magic wrapped around the collection of stomachs the chupacabra had.
"Don't rest too easy Tirek, your sufferings far from over..."
