As the two armies, got closer and closer to each other, they all were blown back, as a massive time rift opened, and massive surges of lightning went everywhere, and a very frightening voice resounded throughout the air, as it said, "FINALLY! I.....AM.....FRRREEEE!!!!!" As both armies got back up, they watched as a massive head came out of the time rift, and then everypony saw it's face, and Twilight and others recognized it, and Twilight gasped, said, "It's Parallex! Everypony! Get back now!"
As everypony got a distance away from Parallex, Princess Celestia asked, "Who is Parallex?"
Snowshy said, "We don't have time to explain! But my brother warned us about him!"
Princess Luna said, "Wait a minute....Parallex? THE PARALLEX? Parallex The Chaotic One?"
Princess Celestia gasped, and said, "It....can't....be....."
Just then, as Parallex's head came fully out of the time rift, he said, "It's been such a long time, since I've been in the real world....." He stopped moving for a moment, as if he had caught a scent, and then said, "hmmmm....what's this? Powerful energy? Coming from.....over here?"
Parallex's head turned around, to where now he could see, Twilight and the others, and they all saw the frightening face of Parallex, his hide was indeed blacker than the night, and his eyes, were just as Darkness had said, they were 'red slants of pure chaotic energy.' Parallex laughed manically, and said, "Oh? What's the matter with the lot of you? You all look like you've seen a ghost? Surely not...... AHAHAHAHA!!!! So, this is where that strong energy is coming from, hmmm....I know your kind....rather well indeed.....and THEY TASTE WONDERFUL!!!! YOUR POWERS ARE MINE!!!!"
As he finished speaking, he got the rest of his massive body out of the time rift, and as he finished doing so, the time rift closed, and he began to rush towards Twilight and the others. Pony soldiers and some other ponies said, "What we do? We can't take on that thing!"
Snowshy said, "Twilight! We need that sword!"
Twilight said, "Alright!"
Rarity told the rest of the army, "Everypony else! Stay away from Parallex! We'll handle him!"
Parallex heard this, and he chuckled, and then grinned, and said, "Good, I like a challenge....COME!!!"
Everypony began to focus, as Applejack said, "Here goes nothing..."
Everypony focused as hard as they could, with all they had, as the sword began to form, and a blinding white light and Parallex saw this, before the bright light emitted, stopped, and said, "WHAT IS THIS???"
Piece by piece, the sword put itself together, and floated over to Snowshy's hooves, and then the light went away, as Parallex saw the sword, he said, "THIS OUGHT TO INTERESTING!!!! RAAAAAA!!"
Twilight and the others nodded, and Snowshy said, "Keep him busy! I'll try to see if I can't find a way to hurt him!"
Twilight and the others nodded, and they went in separate directions, around Parallex, but kept a good distance away from him, and started attacking him from all sides, and Snowshy tried to find a weak point.
Parallex said, "Is that all? Fine, MY TURN!!!"
A massive purple energy emitted from within him, and then with a violent outburst, released the energy, and it hit everypony, sending them all over the battlefield. Everypony, then got back up, and Twilight said, "Everypony! Don't give up! We can do this!"
Rarity said, "I know we can! We have to!"
Everypony, with more determination, than they ever had in a long time, did battle with Parallex, as those that could fly, took to the skies, while those that could use magic, casted whatever they could at him, and everypony else, attacked with their weapons.
Parallex only laughed, and said, "Finally!!! A fight worth fighting!"
He then went after Snowshy, who in the sky, and the two exchanged blows, and sent each reeling backwards a bit.
The two looked fiercely at each other, and everypony else, got back, waiting to see what would happen next, and waiting for the moment to distract Parallex, so Snowshy would be able to land a killing blow. Parallex and Snowshy then rushed towards each other, and met each others blows again, and again, as the skies lit up, with their clashes, and every time they blocked each other's blows, and attacks. Both armies only watched for a while, and then looked down at one another, and began their warcries, and rushed at each other, including Twilight and the others, who had no choice but to leave Parallex, to Snowshy, as they rushed into battle against Arrovak's armies. The armies met each other, some with spears, others with swords, guns, hammers, and other weapons, as screams, and cries of pain could be heard from both sides of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, back in the sky, Parallex and Snowshy were still matching each others blows, until Parallex got the upper hoof as he said, "I grow bored of this....ENOUGH!!!" As he finished speaking, he broke Snowshy's guard, and hit her hard enough, that she was sent plummeting to the ground, and right into the middle of the conflict between the two armies.
Parallex, then landed in front of her, as she was fighting off some of Arrovak's soldiers, and as he got closer to her, for the kill, he said, "How do you wish to die? Slow and painful? Or....shall I make this quick?"
Just then, a voice said, "How about you shut up! And eat this!"
A rainbow blur flew by Snowshy and she recognized that it was Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash then, flew as fast she could, with a multiple swords, and a big gun, threw the swords, with all her might, and the speed of her flying, and with a massive shot from her gun, right at Parallex's face. Parallex had no time to react, and was stuck in the face by Rainbow Dash's barrage of attacks, and then swatted Rainbow Dash away, as he said, "BACK OFF, FLEA! THIS FIGHT IS BETWEEN ME AND MY PREY!"
Rainbow Dash then went flying off to right, where she crashed-landed and Snowshy said, "Rainbow Dash!" She then turned to Parallex, for she was now pissed off, and said, "PARALLEX!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND!!!"
Parallex said, " Feisty, Feisty! Good! You have some fight left in you after all! You want me to pay for that? I DARE YOU TO TRY!!"
As Parallex barely finished his sentence, that Snowshy took off towards Parallex, and moved so fast, that Parallex didn't even see her, and she went for his eye, and before Parallex could track her movements, she put all her might into the sword, rose high into the air, and thrust the sword down, and into Parallex's right eye. Parallex screamed in pain, as Snowshy landed the hit, as purple-blackish blood came spewing from the giant wound, and Parallex began to thrash about, as Snowshy then landed, a few feet away from Parallex, and he was about to rush towards Snowshy, when a familiar voice rang out throughout the air, and as the voice spoke, Snowshy recognized the voice as Arrovak, as he said, "Parallex, it is I, Arrovak, welcome back to the real world. I wish to speak to you, and with some offers for you, come to me at once!"
Parallex heard, and he thought about it, and then took one last glaring look at Snowshy, and said, "THE TIME WE MEET, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU SUFFER!" And as he finished speaking, he took to the skies, and flew off, in the direction of Arrovak's fort, and then was out of sight.
Snowshy then went to go find Rainbow Dash, and a few moments later, she found Rainbow Dash, lying down, in the middle of a grass field. Snowshy rushed over to her, put down the sword, and kneeled down beside Rainbow Dash as Snowshy said, "Rainbow Dash! Can you hear me? Are you hurt?"
Rainbow Dash looked up at Snowshy, and said, "Is Parallex defeated?"
Snowshy said, "No, but I did take out his right eye, and he has fled the battle. He has gone to Arrovak's fort."
Rainbow Dash said, "Well, at any rate, that's still good news.."
Snowshy said, "Can you get up?"
Rainbow Dash tried, and eventually got up, and then sat down, and said, "I...I just need a minute to recover.."
Snowshy said, "I was going to say, you need to, that was quite a fall you took. It's a miracle that didn't kill you. Or break anything, for that matter."
Rainbow Dash said, "Thank the gods, and besides, you can't go on without me! Everypony needs me too, we need each other."
Snowshy said, That's right, now, just rest up."
After a few more moments, Rainbow Dash got up, and said, "Owww...my head.."
Snowshy said, "I don't it's good idea for you to be standing up so soon....."
Rainbow Dash said after a few more moments of standing there, she said, "I'll be fine, the pain has gone away now."
Snowshy said, "Okay....if you are sure....In that case....Ready?"
Rainbow Dash said, "Ready! Let's go kick Arrovak's army's butt!"
Snowshy nodded, but not without picking back up the sword, and releasing her focus, which in turn, the sword fragmented, and faded away.  Rainbow Dash then nodded, and the two ran back towards Twilight and the others, to rejoin the conflict.
