Legendary Sibling Rivalry Part 1
While the Controller’s fleet descends upon their latest conquest, Celestia and Luna remains oblivious to the secret invasion that is taking place behind their backs.
Luna is blinded by hatred towards her elder sibling, and Celestia is trying to keep a clear head by only focusing on her sister and little else.
Either sibling hovering silently in the air. Their eyes staring back at the other as they look eyes.
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning shot across the sky, illuminating the other as nothing but a black silhouette showing their eyes is visible.
Then, with a final crack of lightning, they both suddenly vanish in a flash as sudden as the lightning, itself!
Seemingly without explanation countless explosions erupt all across the skies whose shockwaves devastate the landscape, blowing away trees and reducing hilltops to mere piles of rock.
Moving faster than anyone can physically see, the sisters rapidly exchange blows. Eluding the other’s punches and attempting a counter-attack, only to be shocked when the other attempts taking advantage of the situation by shooting a concentrated energy blast at the other!
Appearing in the air above her sister, Celestia looks down towards Luna, who appears underneath her.
Turning her head and looking up above her, she stares directly at the sun.
Good! she thinks before looking back down towards Luna, whose gritting her teeth as she glares up at her.
“Solar flare!” she screams holding up her hooves to her forehead, which conjures a powerful flash of light that blinds the blue Alicorn.
“ARRGHHH!” Luna screams as she raises an arm to cover her eyes.
Perfect! I’ve blinded her!
Frowning sternly, she holds out her hooves in front of her as she begins flying down towards Luna.
“Rrrgh!” Luna groans as she rubs her eyes with her hooves, though, she won’t regain her sight before Celestia is able to attack. Hanging her head as she hovers in place.
However, as she tries punching her, Luna sharply turns around to face her. Raising her hoof and intercepting Celestia’s punch!
“Huh!?” She exclaims. Taken by surprise.
“Did you really think that after all the time spent training with Frost that I didn’t pick up some new tricks?!”
Reeling her hoof back before thrusting it forwards, Luna violently punched her sister hard in the face.
The punch disorienting Celestia, that she only manages to ‘’recover’’ when she felt a flurry of punches be dealt to her stomach and chest by Luna. The final punch knocking the air out of her.
Raising her hooves and grabbing her sister’s head, Luna thrust it down towards her leg. Kneeing Celestia in the face. Then kicked her in the stomach a final time, sending her flying through the air.
Hovering silently in the air with her hooves folded across her chest, an evil smile appears on Luna’s face.
Bah, you truly fail to convince me that you have gotten stronger, sister. If anything, you’ve become softer, weaker. If you cannot protect yourself…then how do you expect to defend them? Her smile contorting into a frown.
*Bzzt*
Vanishing from sight, she soon re-emerges a distance ahead of Celestia. An unimpressed, blank stare as she holds her hooves behind her back.
Gently, she extends a hoof out in front of her. A ball of crackling energy appears and begins growing in intensity.
An unimpressed frown on her face as she watches her sister’s body draw ever-closer.
As her body shoots through the air towards Luna, the wind blows across her fur. Reminding her that she isn’t dead, nor beaten…yet.
At the last second, before Luna can fire her attack, Celestia’s eye shots open, and she immediately re-arranges herself. Holding out her hooves in front of her as she shots directly towards her sister like a speeding bullet.
Luna’s brows jump in surprise at seeing this, but then narrows them again as she discharges the ball of energy at her sister.
Looking out ahead of her, Celestia narrows her brows at the incoming ball of crackling energy. However, she is undeterred by its size and continues flying directly towards it.
At the tip of her horn she starts charging up her own ball of energy.
The orb grows no larger than her body before firing it directly at Luna.
Pfft! Doesn’t the fool know that she cannot beat mi-
Luna rolls her eyes before an explosion of bright light erupts from below her. Forcing her to raise her hooves to protect her eyes from the bright light!
Lowering her hooves again, her eyes immediately widen as she sees something shot straight for her.
“Whoa!” exclaims the night princess as she hastily dodges the incoming attack.
Craning her neck and looking up as the ball vanishes into the skies.
*****
Meanwhile, in the atmosphere, one of the Controller’s ships is hit by the blast.
An explosion erupting from the center of the ship, causing it to break apart. The pieces of the ship collapsing in on itself, resulting in a final explosion.
*****
Watching that giant ball of fire erupts in the sky, Luna turns back towards her sister with a stern glare.
Celestia frowning back as she watches her sister extend her arms. Conjuring a pair of energy spheres, that she narrows her brows at seeing.
Pulling herself back for a second, Celestia then shots herself up into the sky at her sister.
Scoffing, Luna rhythmically thrusts her hooves forward. Quickly firing the first energy spheres before conjuring another pair and then firing them, etc.
However, despite unleashing a barrage upon her, Celestia dodged each of incoming attacks with ease.
Luna was just slow enough for Celestia to dodge her attacks.
Though, one of her attacks managed to hit Celestia right in the chest. Knocking her back.
Luna’s frown curved upwards into a smile, though, was short-lived as when the smoke cleared Celestia looked to be relatively undamaged. Her chest merely was just bruised.
No! What’s going on!?!?
Narrowing her brows, Celestia held out her arms as she shot up into the air. Flying directly towards Luna.
Resuming her flight knocked Luna out of her confused stupor. Enraging her as she gritted her teeth together enraged at her sister’s reluctance to die.
ARRRGH! NOOOOO, CURSE YOU! The blue alicorn screamed inside her head as she resumed firing upon her steadily approaching sister. Unleashing a barrage of even more attacks this time.
The night princess’ eyes widening as something struck her as odd. None of her attacks were having any effect. Not that it mattered much since her sister was able to dodge them. And even if they did manage to hit their mark, the damage was minimal at best.
As her sister drew closer, Luna gritted teeth her more as the situation was getting dire. Sweat was running down her temple. And her eyes were wide with horror.
NO! NOOO!NOOO!NOOO!NOOOOOO!!! screamed the night princess in her head as her eye’ pupil reflected the image of her sister getting closer.
*Bzzt*
Before she could fire again, Celestia suddenly vanished.
Re-appearing in front of her. Time slowing for the blue Alicorn princess as she watched her sister pull her hoof back...only for time to resume like normal as she was punched in the face.
Blood squirting from Luna’s jaw!
Unfortunately for Luna, Celestia was no longer back. She was now fighting with all her resolve. All in the hopes of either beating Luna into submission…or death!
“ARghhhhh!” Luna groaned as she was knocked back by the punch.
A jolting shockwave shooting up her nerves. Re-attaching them back together!
Hovering in the air, staring back at her sister, whose body hung backwards. Same with her head.
“AGhhhhh!” Luna groaned as she lifted a hoof to her chin. Hissing sharply at the pain she felt from her sister’s punch.
Slowly lifting herself back up, Luna looks back towards her sister. Panting softly as she holds her aching jaw. Softly panting as she’s meet with Celestia’s stern scowl.
For a few moments, the winds blow through both their manes as they hover there in the air.
Other than the wind blowing across their bodies, everything is silent.
“You know, sis, you really haven’t changed,” Luna softly chuckled.
Managing a smile as blood continued dripping from her jaw.
“Even now, you have to upstage me… a-and somehow be more powerful than me. You don’t want to save Equestria, but to keep ruling it until somepony overthrows you, he he!” Her laughing starts getting a little louder.
“Even ignoring all that you’ve done, I no longer suffer pain of the flesh!” Luna spat back at her sister.
“You may now be physically stronger than me…but your power is useless if I do not fear you!” Luna smiled.
“The only way to stop me is to kill me…he he he he!” she chuckles loudly while hovering closer to Celestia.
“And we all know that you’ll-“
WOOK!
However, before she can finish, Celestia delivers a brutal upper-cut punch to her jaw. Sending her flying upwards into the air.
Silently craning her head, and watching as her sister’s body shots higher into the sky.
*Bzzt*
POW
Using her superspeed, Celestia quickly appears above the incoming Luna. Though, allowing herself to fall down towards her approaching sister.
Pulling her hoof back as she starts building speed. Then, punching Luna hard in the stomach.
Luna’s eyes nearly popping out of her skull at the pain registered at the attack.
Though, Celestia is only getting started. Soon unleashing a ferocious onslaught of repeated punches to her sister’s chest and stomach.
After the 60th punch to her chest, Luna wheezes as her breath is knocked out of her…!
On the 110th punch to her stomach, she coughs up blood!
The sight of which causes a look of visible disgust to appear on her sister’s face. Resulting in Celetia ceasing her assault, and instead pulling her hoof back. Horn aglow as she empowers her hoof with energy.
With a single swift punch to the abdomen, Luna shots down towards the ground like a bullet. A devastating cloud of dust and sand being blown up as she impacts the ground.
A massive mushroom cloud climbing higher into the sky, accompanied by an intense wind that blows outwards from where she hit the ground!
Blowing up trees, ripping chunks of the earth and scattering them throughout the surrounding landscape!
Watching from high in the air, Celestia sees the dust cloud (and the mushroom cloud) shortly dissipate. Giving way to a large crater lying directly underneath her.
Floating down from the sky, her brows narrow upon spotting her sister’s motionless body at the center of the crater; her fur is ruffled and there are countless bruises scattered around.
Finally planting her hooves back on the ground, she looks down inside the crater towards her sister’s beaten and broken body.
Secretly watching from the shadows, a pair of alternating black and yellow eyes observes hidden from the trees. Watching as Celestia’s horn begins glowing, soon seeing Luna’s body being lifted out of the crater and placed down on the ground. The white Alicorn silently scowling as she stares at her sister.
With a loud gasp, Luna coughs as she lays on her back in front of her sister. Her eyes immediately gravitating up towards the stern gaze. She counters Celestia’s scowl with a frown of her own.
“BWA ha ha ha ha ha ha!” she suddenly begins laughing as she lays there.
Luna’s insane laughter does nothing to impede her sister’s scowl, as it only intensifies.
“Ohhhh… What do you know, sister – he he?” Luna asks. Several coughs interrupting her chuckling.
“You really surprised me back there – he he he. You actually – ha ha – spared my life and – ha ha – at the same time wreaked me like no other – ha ha ha!”
“It didn’t take much to beat you, Luna. I already knew from the start that you weren’t going to be much of a challenge, though I won’t lie that you did catch me off-guard with how little you seem to be affected by my attacks for a while,” replied Celestia.
Softly cackling with her eyes closed, Luna was soon interrupted as she coughs again. That twisted smile appearing again.
“Oh sister, during our time together Frost taught me a trick or two…like how to ignore physical pain,” Luna lied.
While it was true that her training had frost had made her stronger, the truth behind her lack of pain was more or less a side-effect of the brutal training she’s endured under Frost.
Due to pushing herself so far physically, and enduring such harsh challenges, she has ironically only gotten stronger in a defensive sense; that pain no longer bothers her.
Celestia on the other hoof has both grown stronger in an offensive and defensive sense. While her sister is close to matching her offensively, Celestia is still the stronger opponent, due to the variety of training she underwent. Kami’s teachings were far more effective than Frost’s.
Watching the smile on her sister’s face grow wider at the confusion settling in, Celestia resumed her scowl once Luna resumed laughing again. Occasionally coughing.
“Well? Now what?” Luna asked as she lay lying in front of her sister. A hoof atop her stomach with blood running from wounds all over her body. A taunting smile on her face.
“You gonna leave me here to bleed out – ha ha –…or take me in?” Luna asked, both chuckling and coughing.
Blinking, Celestia merely scowled as she stared stone-faced at her sister. Narrowing her brows.
“Even if you sought to usurp me, I still have a duty to bring you to justice for your crimes.”
“Of course – he he – Cough cough! Always the ‘’little mrs. princess’’, right?” Luna replied.
“Exactly!” Celestia said as her horn became aglow. Her magical aura enveloping Luna’s body as she lifted her up off the ground.
Levitating Luna’s body in front of her.
However, on the back of her neck a red dot appeared.
“Ah ha ha!” a voice chuckles softly to itself.
Adjusting its aim so that its target was in sight.
“Perfect! Time to finally bring an end to this pointless conflict!”
Pressing its finger down on the trigger, it fired the shot.
“Argh!”
As soon as the blast hit, Celestia dropped Luna’s body to the ground and immediately turned around. Looking behind her to where the shot had come from.
Narrowing its eyes, the figure concealed amidst the trees snaps its fingers, causing the rifle to vanish with a wave shooting outwards.
“Ciao!” he says before snapping his fingers a second time. Teleporting outwards as a wave moves out through the air.
Turning her head and looking in random directions, Celestia searches for the assailant that took the shot. However, for all her efforts she cannot sense anything.
Everywhere she looks, she cannot detect any lifeform’ energy. Either it was just her imagination, or whoever was here has already fled the scene.
“We’re too exposed out here in the open, sister!” Celestia say, turning her head as she’s still on the look-out for any other surprise attacks.
However, Luna fails to respond as she lays there on the ground. Her eyes wide and jaw hanging open as she begins hyperventilating!
Her eyes turning green!
“Luna? Luna!?” Celestia exclaims as she looks over her shoulder. Taken by surprise at the state of her sister!
“Luna, are you alright-!?” she calls out as Luna’s body begins violently shaking.
Her eyes widening as Luna’s body begins violently transforming right in front of her! Green glowing veins becoming visible through the skin as her body-mass drastically starts to increase!
Jumping up and landing on her hooves, loudly screaming as her whole body is ravaged by intense pain. Bones breaking as her muscle mass starts bulking up to newer heights!
“Luna-!?”
Luna’s agonized screams suddenly interrupts Celestia, their intensity exploding to greater heights.
The side of her jaw rips open, exposing the plenty of new canines within her jaw. Blood beginning to run from her maw as a result.
Raising her muscular hooves into the air, she slams them against the ground. An intense shockwave shooting out from her position!
Celestia attempts holding out against the devastating force, but is ultimately unable to stand for long and is blown away by the ferocious winds!
Another mushroom cloud appearing in the skies, but one that is this time much stronger!
*****
Meanwhile far away, the Controller’s visual display begins beeping loudly.
An arrow appearing on-screen, that points to his left. With a turn of his head he looks left towards several hills in the distance.
“Perhaps that Princess Celestia is something to be concerned with,” the mechanical humanoid thinks aloud.
*****
Meanwhile, back with the two sisters the dust storm finally settles.
Celestia softly grunting as she lowers her hoof from her face. Her eyes threatening to pop out of her sockets and her jaw dropping in shock. Eliciting a loud gasp at the sight before her.
Standing at the center of a new even larger crater was her sister Luna, but her body seeming to have finished its monstrous transformation by the looks of it; her body looking to have transformed to twice Celestia’s size, her horn having curved with ridges along the front, hooves now sprouted sharp claw-like digits, her eyes were bright green, and her mane and tail now encompassed a vast galaxy instead of merely just the knight and were now contained by bright green flames.
However, most frightening of her entire transformation were her large muscles, increased in size, and grotesquely deformed face. The sides in her jaw having ripped open to reveal sharp canines that gave the illusion of a gruesome smile.
Sensing her power, Celestia starts trembling. Beads of sweat running down her temple. A look of true terror settling in on her face.
Gently inhaling and then exhaling, Luna’s chest rose and fell. Her eyes wide after her brutal transformation.
Her sister watching at a distance with a look of horror plastered on her face as those sharp canines move up and down with every breath.
T-this can’t be-…! S-s-she’s more powerful than she was just mere seconds ago! The sun goddess stutters.
I-I-I’ve got to alert Kami about this-!
However, merely taking a single step back Luna’s head snaps towards her!
Staring all across the wide distance between towards her sister.
A constant fear in Celestia’s eyes, while Luna’s showed a fearless ferocity in hers’.
Slowly turning herself around to face her sister, Luna stares back in eerie silence. Her nostrils flaring softly, and a green glow passing through her veins in waves.
Narrowing her brows, the blue Alicorn then begins crawling forward. Her new claw appendages digging into the ground every time she takes another step closer. Leaving behind her a visible trail of scratch marks.
Although she manages to stop shaking, Celestia’s eyes are still wide with fear as Luna trots closer. Her enraged eyes glaring right back at her.
Slowly backing away only causes Luna to increase her pace…
And as her horn begins glowing ready to teleport away, Luna’s horn glows as well!
Unable to form anything but chocked noises, she finally resorts to mustering a quick retreat. Only for Luna’s brows to narrow.
Eliciting a furious growl from the transformed Alicorn as her horn begins glowing, before firing several energy blasts in direction of her sister.
Celestia being stopped in her tracks at each attack, and looking back at the hulking beast as it draws ever-closer.
With no more options, she hangs her head and sighs softly. Closing her eyes.
Opening her eyes again, she raises her head. Adopting a stern expression as she gently trots forward to confront Luna.
Any traces of fear eradicated from her eyes. Luna growling softly at her sister’s surprising change.
So…even with my significant power-up you are going to try and fight me? Commendable, but foolish, you fool!
Stepping up towards each other, they finally come to a halt. Both having finally gotten close enough.
Raising/lowering her head, either sister meet the other’s gaze.
Both holding their stern frowns as their eyes locked upon making eye-contact.
Uttering a soft growl, and twisting her deformed jaw into an eerie smile, Luna then delivers the first blow by punching her sister hard in the face!
The white Alicorn’s body flying back through the air with a large bruise on her forehead.
Narrowing her eyes gleefully, Luna pulls herself back, momentary, before kicking-off against the ground.
The ground exploding beneath her as she jumps into the air after Celestia’s body.
Despite hurtling through the air from that incredibly painful punch, Celestia manages to recover. However, nowhere near as fast enough, since Luna immediately appears.
Holding her hoof-claw outstretched, she grabs Celestia’s head.
The sharp claws digging into her flesh, causing blood to run from holes on her head. Celestia winching at the pain.
“And now…kidney punch!”
Pulling back her fisted hoof-claw, and holding up Celestia’s body, she delivers an insufferable punch to Celestia’s back.
“Ah ha ha ha ha! Kidney punch! Kidney punch! Kidney punch! Kidney punch!” Luna laughs as she repeatedly punches Celestia in the back again and again, etc.
The white Alicorn repeatedly coughing up more and more blood with each punch.
“Aaaaand pause…kidney punch!”
Luna waited just long enough between the last punch and the next, before delivering one to her sister’s back.
Again, Celestia coughed up more blood.
Seeing that her new strength was truly something to be feared, Luna decides to stop flying.
Gently tossing her sister’s body up into the air. Pulling her fisted hoof-claw back.
Keeping a close watch on the skies while her mane and tail erupts into a furious inferno.
As Celestia’s hurtles down towards the surface, Luna unleashes a rage-filled roar mere seconds before delivering a violent punch to her sister’s stomach.
The punch sending her sister flying through the air.
A shine appearing on the horizon as Celestia vanishes into the distance.
“Hmm!”
*Bzzt*
Luna grumbles frustrated before chasing after her sister using superspeed.
*****
Back at Frost’s ship, the Cybermares in charge of bringing Kami to the landing ramp have finally done so.
Making their way down the ramp onto the plains outside the saucer.
From inside his casket, Kami watched the drones transport him down the ramp.
Raising his head and looking behind him, he took note that it was just the two drones guarding him.
Extending his arm, he put his outstretched hand against the glass…
Trudging forwards at the same pace, the two drones focused their gazes focused on the road ahead. Silently approaching the landing site where the shuttle would be landing.
Both were so focused on what lay ahead that neither noticed a bright light from within the casket.
In a flash the casket exploded, and a ball of bright light and force shot towards one of the drones.
The drone’s head exploding upon contact, and scattering a mix of gore and steel onto the ground.
“What-!?”
The other drone exclaimed. Sharply turning around to face whatever’s attacked its companion, only to be blasted in the chest.
It’s armor unable to protect it from the devastating attack.
The drone standing motionless in place as electrical surges appeared in its gaping chest wound.
It then collapsed to the ground dead.
Pushing the shattered glass away, he climbs out of the casket. Beginning to stretch once he’s out of the casket.
After stretching, he turns back towards Frost’s saucer.
Alright, now to save Frost
The Saiyan thinks as he runs back towards the ramp. Rushing onboard, and hastily running back down the corridor.
Even if the old bastard might be unwilling to team-up to defeat the Cybermares, he could still cause enough trouble to significantly upset whatever plans they’ve for the Equestrians. Perhaps destroy the nearest Cyber-factory undergoing construction so they’ll have to await transports to bring the populace into space.
Even so, I should take his saucer to prevent its use as a temporary shuttle.
Do I even dare to let him use my ship? I’d be stranded here without any hope of locating him…at least, until I’m able to sense him again! Is it worth the risk?
For a time as he ran down the corridor, his thoughts were silent.
Closing his eyes and groaning in frustration, he resolved to the only option at his disposal.
I mean, it’s not like I can be picky at a time like this!
*Soon, in another part of the ship*
Meanwhile, in another room onboard the ship, the Cybermares are supervising phase one in Cyber-converting another lifeform.
Within a conversion machine, an armored headpiece is lowered onto a figure’s head as armor is being added.
The drones continuing with their work when a door suddenly, explodes.
Having been blasted from the outside. Catching the Cybermares inside by surprise.
Hastily turning around to confront the intruder, they quickly raise their hooves. Aiming their wrist-cannons towards the smoke coming from the door.
Their visual display beeping as crosshairs attempt to locate the intruder in the smoke.
However, while searching two blasts shoot into the room. Hitting both in the throat, beheading both.
Their heads falling to the ground, shortly followed by their bodies. The dis-connected electrical currents sparking.
As a dark silhouette enters the room, passing through the room, Kami holds a stern expression.
Holding a furious expression as she slowly steps inside the room.
Turning his head and looking throughout the room, he soon spots Frost strapped down in a chair.
“No!” he says softly upon recognizing the machine.
A Cyber-conversion chamber!
Hardly hesitating, he stretches out his hand and fires a blast at the machine, causing it to explode upon impact.
The entire machine is engulfed in sparks, as explosions erupt from various.
Smoke pours out through destroyed holes in the machine.
Running up towards the machine, he punches the glass.
Hurrying inside the damaged machine towards Frost’s body, he hastily blasts the restraints around his arms and feet.
Then grabs Frost’s motionless and carries him out of the machine.
Out of the machine, he collapses to his knees.
Holding a hand at the back of his head, Kami shakes him.
Attempting to wake him.
“Frost! Come on, Frost!”
He calls out to the partially upgraded Icejin, continuing to shake him.
However, despite how he shakes him Frost doesn’t move.
Merely lying motionless in Kami’s arms.
“Frost?”
He asks a final time, though, he knows that the Icejin’s silence can only mean one thing.
Hanging his head, a single tear begins running down his cheek.
Dropping from his cheek onto the floor. Followed by a couple more tears.
Continuing to hang his head, his face begins twitching.
His head shooting up and staring enraged at the wall outside the door.
His eyes glowing shortly causing the wall to immediately explode.
Looking back down, he gently places Frost’s body on the floor.
“I’m sorry for being unable to save you…but I swear that your death will not be in vain!”
His fist tightening as golden sparks appear all around him.
The machinery within the room short-circuiting and malfunctioning as a result of his subtle rage.
Looking down sad upon his friend’s body for a final time, he wipes the last tear with his sleeve.
Turning back towards the destroyed wall, and gently flies out through the hole.
Planting his feet on the ground, he turns around and looks back towards the ship.
Hanging his head again as he turns around, he shortly raises it while looking up towards the sun.
Back inside the ship after Kami’s departure, Frost’s body lays motionless on the floor.
Soon, the whole begins to violently shake.
Loose objects falling down to one side of the ship as one side of the ship lifts up.
Soon, the wreaked ship begins to spin round at an increasing pace. Getting progressively faster and faster.
Eventually ceasing to spin as it shots up into the sky.
Crossing the border between Equestria’s atmosphere and space, Frost’s body is lying on the floor when a light begins glowing on his armored headpiece.
Frost’s eyes shooting open as he receives the ‘’activation’’ signal from the Controller back on Equestria.
However, his saucer is plummeting on a direct course for the sun, itself!
Once caught in its gravitational pull, there is nothing preventing the crippled spaceship from falling towards the raging inferno of fire and death!
Falling into its warm embrace the ship all but disappears.
“ARRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
A scream of pain as the ship sinks into the immense gas giant.
A hand slowly drifting on the surface for a few minutes, able to withstand the excruciating temperature for a little while before finally succumbing.
The sun’s heat disintegrating the flesh into nothing!
Back at Equestria, Kami stands alone as he looks up towards the sun.
Hanging his head as he turns and begins to walk away.
Holding his hands in tight fists, more sparks begin appearing all around him as he walks away intent on killing the Cyber Controller! 707Z0!\e}�#VqG��y{
