Kurumi stared at the flaming girl, “I’ll pay for this you say?” then a crazy smile was shown by her, “Do not act like you’re any different Shana-san,” Shana’s eye twitched slightly after hearing that, “we both were, are and will forever be killing machines made for only that one purpose.”
Shana did not reply back, she just stared intently at Kurumi.
“What’s this? Do you not have any clever remarks Shana-san?” Kurumi asked in a mockingly manner.
Shana kept silent.
“I thought so, now will y-“ she got cut suddenly by another fire blast that barely missed her, but when she looked at where Shana was, only Osiris occupied the entire view.
A slight barely audible sound made her move from where she was, and it was fortunate because Shana flew past that point at an incredulous speed.
For a fragment of a second the two crossed stares.
Pointing at one o’clock with her guns Kurumi said, “Zafkiel, Aleph!” and shoot herself. With this she was able to block the next attack, after that an extremely fast exchange of hits could be heard.
Rainbow and Pinkie stared at the whole new scenery.
“Ooooh, so that’s Slify? It really is as big as Riny said it was,” Pinkie said then another thought crossed her mind, “Riny!” then she made a full speed gallop towards the location where Rinna was.
“Hey Pinkie, wait! I’m going too!” Rainbow said and flew after her, at the same time she side looked at the barely visible blurs that were fighting in the sky. ‘Who is that? Is she Rinna’s friend? I think she is, she bandaged Rinna and stuff. But why is she so fast?’ Rainbow thought.
Twilight slowly crawled over to Rinna, that punch in the gut she received from Tailmon hurt her badly, specially with her magic reserves so low.
When she got closer, Twilight saw Rinna, the heavy breathing and that bloody stain on her abdomen. Twilight felt guilty about this, “I should’ve protected you Rinna, I’m sorry…” she said with tears on her eyes.
“Rinna!/Riny!” at that moment Rainbow and Pinkie got there.
After seeing the same as Twilight, Pinkie got even sadder than she was before, and Rainbow got angrier.
But even with that rage in her, Rainbow had to compose herself because she knew that blind rage will not do any good in this situation, “do you need any help there Twi?” she asked at the downedalicorn.
“Yes, thank you Rainbow,” she said while Rainbow helped her to stand up.
They then heard some groans and grumbles.
“Can anypony lend me a hoof here, Ah’ can’t get up mahself,” Applejack recovered consciousness.
“Sure thing!” Pinkie appeared in front of her suddenly.
“Ahh- Ouch!” the sudden movement made her sore body hurt, “Pinkie? What are ya wearing there?” she said while getting up, and then looked around, “What happened here?”
The ponies regrouped around Konata, Rainbow picked up Dejiko and brought her with them.
“Twilight, can ya tell me what’s happening?” A.J asked.
“Well, a lot has happened in a short time, after you got knocked out by Tailmon, Rainbow fought her but it wasn’t enough and she lost followed by Tailmon breaking one of her wings.” Twilight explained.
This confused Applejack, “But Rainbow here has her wings fine.”
“Somehow this armor healed my wing, it’s totally awesome.”
“Anyways, after that, Konata challenged Tailmon and Kurumi, getting Rainbow out of danger by the moment. Konata did a lot by herself and got Tailmon out of the battle for a time but Kurumi proved to be way stronger. Pinkie got here wearing that armor soon after with Rinna following her, she explained to us that the armor was the manifestation of something similar to the elements of harmony, the same applies to Rainbow’s armor. We got our hopes up, believing we had a chance,” Twilight stopped for a moment.
“But Koni lost for saving me,” Pinkie added sadly.
“Then that cat thing appeared again, and beat up Dejiko and Twilight, I don’t know well what happened next, because I was fighting that cheater!” Rainbow was still angry.
“I don’t know either, I almost passed out when I heard that loud noise, and saw Rinna injured.” Twilight felt bad for saying that.
“But Rinna made a potion nyo, what happened with it?” Dejiko joined the conversation.
“It broke, when Rinna-sama got shot, the momentum made her let go of the bottle which crashed on the ground…” the ponies turned to see the source of this voice, just to see Tailmon there.
Instinctively Rainbow tackled her to the ground, being totally worm out Tailmon didn’t have the strength to oppose her.
But… she didn’t want to anyways.
“What do you want now!? Rinna is hurt and everything is your fault!” Rainbow just blamed everything on Tailmon even if that wasn’t the case here.
“Maybe, but what are you going to do now, Blue?” Tailmon said with no recognizable emotion.
This infuriated Rainbow even more, “an eye for an eye.”
“Heh, I don’t mind, but you don’t have what it takes to do it, Blue.” Tailmon stared at Rainbow unimpressed.
Rainbow gritted her teeth and was about to lose it.
“Rainbow calm down. Don’t let her get the best of you, it’s not worth it,” Twilight put a reassuring hoof on her friend’s withers.
“You should listen to your friend, Blue. She seems to be the only one with a brain,” Tailmon kept making sarcastic remarks.
“Will you ever shut up!?” Rainbow asked angrily.
“Would you be any less annoyed if I did that?” Tailmon asked curiously which got a groan and a sense of satisfaction to the digital cat.
“You guys are really loud, can you… tune down the volume a bit? Osiris was bad enough.” A voice said from behind them.
After turning back to take a look, they saw…
“Koni!” Pinkie shouted and hug tackled Konata, who just carefully stood up.
“Nice to see you again Pinkie, now-“ Konata took a deep breath “can you stop crushing my ribs please?”
“Oopsies, sorry for that Koni. Again” Pinkie said while getting off the tan pony.
Shaking her head Konata stood up again, and then got hug tackled again, but this time not by Pinkie but Rainbow Dash.
“Ok, it’s hug tackling day or something? Come on now.”
“You’re fine…” a very quiet voice said alongside some sniffs.
“What?” Konata didn’t know what got into Rainbow so suddenly, but then she paid more attention to the little whimpers, “Rainbow…”
Rainbow felt Konata returning the hug.
“I’m glad of having somepony that worries about me to the point of tears, even if I don’t deserve it. But we don’t really have the time for that right now. Do we?”
“Heh, you’re right. We still need to deal with miss crazy cheater.” Rainbow said while whipping a tear that threatened to leave her eye with a hoof.
“Hey, we worry about you too, you know” Twilight said playfully with a fake pout.
Everypony let out a light hearted laugh.
“Are you totally recovered Konata?” Twilight asked with a better mood.
“Not totally, but I’m good enough,” Konata stretched some of the soreness away.
“What will happen with Rinna nyo?” Dejiko asked worried about Rinna.
“We need to get her out of here, but in that case Twilight, Applejack and Dejiko should get to the hospital too, you guys really got hurt. So I’ll ask you, do you want to leave?” Konata asked with a stony face.
“ ‘Ah ain’t going anywhere, ‘Ah want ta see how things end up,” Applejack made her decision.
“I know the right choice is to go, but I want to see what happens next too,” Twilight added.
“Alright, Dejiko what do you decide? You go or you stay?” Konata put her attention on the cat girl.
Dejiko was sitting at Rinna’s side looking very tired, “I… I want to leave nyo… I have been running all day I need a rest nyo…”
“Alright then, now-“ Konata said before going where Tailmon laid on the road, “- I’m guessing here but, you changed sides right Tailmon?”
“It’s good to see you awake again Konata-sama, and kind of.”
“Kona, don’t tell me you want to help this one too?” Rainbow said with some disgust.
“Yup,” Konata simply responded.
“What!?” everypony else said at once.
“You’re pulling my tail now right?” Rainbow wanted to know if this was a joke.
“Tailmon,” Konata addressed the cat, gaining her attention, “will you be Rinna’s guardian once more?”
“Are you sure about that Konata-sama? I could betray you again for all you know,” Tailmon tested her.
“No way, you’re being serious with this,” Rainbow said incredulously. “I won’t accept her, nopony will accept her.”
“ ‘Am with Rainbow here, after all ‘tis cat did ‘Ah don’t want her any close to mah friends or family.”
“Good points, Osiris what do you think? Do we let her in or do we cast her away to die?” Konata said darkly getting a shiver from the ponies.
The giant dragon didn’t turn its head to look at them, “I cannot speak for my master, lady Konata. If lady Rinna is comfortable with her along, then I have no issues with it. But if you do not want to have her around I can erase her right now.”
The ponies felt the echoing voice inside their heads instead of hearing it with their ears.
Konata looked thoughtful for a moment, “Pinkie?” she said suddenly.
“I’m with you Koni! You always choose right,” Pinkie said enthusiastically.
“Alright good enough, we are keeping her. Now…”
In Ponyville’s hospital, the princesses were glad that Konata recovered. Not only that but also her idea of getting Rinna out of danger’s way and medical attention bring them some relief.
“Stop daydreaming you two.”
They looked at the screen and saw Konata staring at them.
“Oh… excuse us for our lack of focus Lucky S- I mean Konata,” Celestia said.
Konata let out a sigh, “It’s ok if you two still want to call me Lucky Star, I don’t mind.”
“Thank you for being so understanding Lucky Star, but why is the reason for you to address us?” Luna inquired.
“Can you use your magic?”
“Yes we can use it; do you need us to cast a particular spell?” Celestia asked.
“Indeed, I need you to teleport these three,” Konata then pointed at Dejiko, Rinna and Tailmon. “With you, so they can receive medical treatment as soon as possible, can you do that?”
The two of them were shocked at the Tailmon part, they saw Konata was going to help Tailmon but didn’t expect her to ask them to help the one who put them on the hospital in the first place.
“Are you completely sure about helping the one called Tailmon? Lucky Star,” Luna asked the question the two sisters had in their mind.
“I know you were seeing everything that has happened until now, so you have seen the last discussion. Please save me some time and just do it, I promise nothing bad will happen.”
The princesses looked at each other with concern, they weren’t sure about what to do.
“Believe in Koni! She would never do anything to harm Riny she’s her big sister!” Pinkie shouted and Konata facehoofed.
“Wait, Rinna is your sister?” Rainbow asked from behind.
“Did you just seriously pick up on that?” Konata said with slight annoyance.
“Ple-“ Celestia tried to say something but got cut off.
“Just do it, I’ll explain everything later,” With that said Konata, cut off the communication.
Both sisters ignited their horns and teleported the three beings to their room.
“Kindness, please call the doctors at once, they need treatment,” Luna said to Fluttershy, which wasn’t really there anymore, Rinna wasn’t either.
“Huh? Where…”
“She took Rinna and went out already, well I think she was the one you called nyo, she seemed really determined.” Dejiko was sitting on against a wall to rest some.
“Yellow seems to be the overly caring type,” Tailmon said with a relaxed tone.
“I hate to agree with you, but you’re right nyo.”
“Aww, you really hate me, that’s cute.”
“Well, trying to kill people gives that response most of the time nyo.”
“You seem to be incredibly relaxed considering what you have done little feline,” Luna said with mid closed eyes.
“I don’t have any regrets; I was following orders based on an ideology, just like any soldier would have done.”
“That is not reasonable; didn’t you have any free will to judge the motives behind their actions?” Celestia asked.
“A soldier doesn’t have free will, you only do what you are told to, and that’s it. Going against it just gets you killed, that’s how they operate.”
The princesses remained silent after that.
Fluttershy was zooming through the hallways searching for a doctor.
‘Just wait Rinna, we’re going to help you soon, so please resist a little longer,’ she thought as she got to the reception.
Konata examined the area in detail; she wanted to find the two that were fighting in that place.
Rainbow landed at her side, “what are you doing?” she asked while looking at her friend’s quick eye movements.
“I want to locate Shana and Kurumi,” Konata kept focusing her sight, “I hear the metallic exchange of hits, but I can’t nail down from where they’re coming from, I probably didn’t recover as much as I thought.”
“You can hear it? Where? I can’t hear anything,” Rainbow was with ears high up but didn’t hear anything besides the occasional sounds of the wind. “You know, for being a giant dragon, he doesn’t make much noise.”
The ponies looked at the dragon and noticed that it didn’t make any real noise.
“Oh, it’s because Osiris doesn’t need to flap his wings to fly.”
“Konata, that doesn’t make any sense,” Twilight was confused.
“Twi, ‘Ah think common sense doesn’t work with them,” Applejack added her opinion.
“Yeah, by now I got used to their weird factor, it’s no big deal after all,” Rainbow gave hers too.
“Dashie’s right Twilight, stop questioning every supernatural inexplicable thing that comes from Koni’s world, that’s ruuuuuuude,” Pinkie said into Twilight’s face.
“Thanks Pinkie.”
“You’re welcome Koni!”
Twilight deadpanned.
“Don’t take it wrong Twilight; you’ll understand more when you meet with Ini.”
“You better not be lying Konata, or else…”
“Calm down Twi, Konata here is saying the truth.”
“What do we do now then? They’re fighting at such a speed that we can’t see them, and Kona can’t find them ei-“ Rainbow was saying when a loud growl was heard.
The group covered their ears at this noise.
“What the hay was that!?” Rainbow screamed.
Konata slid below Twilight to get her in her back.
“What are you doing?” Twilight asked slightly embarrassed.
“Pinkie, grab Applejack and follow me, Rainbow fly and watch out for any shadowy holes.”
Rainbow did as she was told and flew over them and looked around for any weird shadow.
“Hold on there partner, ‘Ah can be hurt but ‘Ah can still move some.” Applejack’s pride didn’t let her accept this particular method of help.
“Not the time Applejack,” Konata told her while looking around and carrying Twilight.
“What is this all about anyway? Why do I need to look out for shadow holes?” Rainbow was still airborne looking for these holes not knowing why.
“I think Kurumi may be trying to use her clones to capture us, having hostages is probably her plan to beat Shana, but if any of you gets captured Shana will probably kill you with the clone, because she doesn’t have reasons to care about your safety. Heck, she barely even cares about my safety and we are siblings, she will be more satisfied beating me up alongside the enemy and drag me half dead to home than deal with an annoying hostage situation and risking losing an important battle.” Konata explained getting some weird stares from her pony friends.
Pinkie jumped in front of Konata, “you don’t get along with your sis, Koni?” she asked somewhat sad.
“We get along just fine and she is caring but… she takes battles too far sometimes and just focus on getting rid of the opponent, I don’t blame her for that, she has been through a lot. But enough of that, let’s help her by not getting in the way and avoiding the clones, girls.”
“All of that it’s fine, but where do we go now Konata?” Twilight asked from Konata’s back.
“We have to get on Osiris, before it gets too busy here, and I fear that it started already, let’s go!” Konata started a gallop towards Osiris with the rest following her.
“I still don’t get why Pinkie and me have to get there too, we can fight the clones no problem.” Rainbow stated.
“You can yes, but you’re getting at your limit as well, you won’t last much longer on an extended fight, and the moment the element leaves you, all the stress your body has suffered while on its effect will kick off, leaving you as an easy target. I can’t have you taking those risks; I don’t want you to get hurt by this situation anymore.” A hint of sadness could be heard on Konata’s voice, as if she had a similar experience before.
The others looked at her with worry, but this wasn’t the time to dwell into this, soon after something crashed twenty feet away from them creating a dust cloud.
They kept their way towards Osiris, while the cloud cleared, Rainbow took a peek and saw Shana there shaking her head.
“Guys I have to help her, I’ll catch up in a sec,” she said before flying away.
“Rainbow no!” Konata shouted, and then quickly turned to Pinkie, “Pinkie, take Twilight quick.”
“Oki doki loki,” Pinkie close, and Konata passed Twilight over to her before running after Rainbow.
“What are you doing!?” Twilight asked.
“Quickly, go towards Osiris! Don’t waste time!”
The rest stood there looking at what was going to happen.
“Uh… we better hurry, ‘Ah can see bad news all over the place…” Applejack said after seeing weird shadows appearing.
As on cue the holes got bigger and limbs started to get out of them.
“Run!” Applejack shouted and got to run.
“Hold tight Twilight, this will get meeeeeessy!” Pinkie said while Twilight got a better hold of her and got to run.
“Hey, are you ok?” Rainbow asked Shana after getting where she was.
“Mind your own business,” Shana told her and quickly rolled backwards dodging a barrage of bullets, then stood up and looked angrily at the airborne Kurumi.
“What’s the matter Shana-san… are you cowering behind a colorful horse now? How fitting,” Kurumi didn’t look too good herself, there were countless scratches and cuts on her skin and dress.
“Ha! There’s no way you can win now, you’re done!” Rainbow put up a confident face after that statement.
A wild smile appeared on Kurumi’s face, “Ji ji ji, don’t you understand? Beings like you will never be able to defeat me,” she then pointed at four o’clock, “Zafkiel, Dalet!” she shoot herself, by doing so, any damage she had suffered disappeared. “Now then…” she suddenly disappeared in a shadow gap.
“Get out of here, you are in the way,” Shana said to Rainbow.
“Hey let me help, I can h-“ Rainbow got interrupted by a knee in the stomach.
Rainbow’s body went limp and when Shana retired her leg, Rainbow hit the ground.
She was conscious but her eyes showed great shock and fear.
“I didn’t even hit you at full force and you’re like this, what a waste of an Element.” Shana said before leaving to search for Kurumi.
“Rainbow!” Konata looked at her friend, “I told you she won’t let anyone get in her way, why didn’t you listen?”
“W-what is she…” Rainbow said between coughs, but when she was about to stand up a white glow surrounded her and when it faded she didn’t had the Elemental armor anymore.
She blinked a few times not noticing anything different, “Huh? I thought the stress would kic-“ she spoke too soon, moment after a very sharp pain crossed all over her body, her eyes shrunk to the size of pinpricks and collapsed losing consciousness.
‘She couldn’t handle the shock, but at least she just fainted,’ Konata thought and managed to get Rainbow on her back to get out of that place she also picked up the Element of Friendship which returned to card form, if only escaping were so easy… clones of Kurumi got out of various shadows gaps close to her.
“Yup, it was a mistake teaching her how to manage her time better, good job mom,” Konata said sarcastically before running away as fast as she could giving start to the chase.
While in the run she looked around to see if the rest made it, but they weren’t anywhere, ‘please be safe girls.’
“Lady Konata, do not be worried for your companions, they all are under my protection by lady Shana’s orders,” Osiris gave Konata the news surprising her, “now, please do take cover.”
Looking ahead Konata saw Osiris opening his second mouth, she knew what this meant and took advantage of one of craters that was made during the fight and took cover there, the moment she got into the crater five big purple spheres of lightning flew pass her and disposed of her chasers and creating an explosion.
But one more appeared from the smoke to attack Konata, she got caught off guard and she couldn’t move in time for having Rainbow on her back.
“Blazing Knuckle!” Konata heard the high pitched voice of Pinkie.
A barrage of little fireballs struck the clone from above and send it far away, “Are you ok, Koni?” Pinkie landed next to her.
“Yes, thank you Pinkie, where are the others?”
“We are behind Slify’s head, it’s very comfy, but when I saw you being attacked I had to jump out and defend you from those meanie pants!”
“Ok then,” Konata stood up carefully to not drop Rainbow and looked at the dragon in the sky, “Osiris! Can you descend some!? I can’t jump that high while carrying my friend!”
“Why are you shouting at him Koni? He seemed to hear you fine before when you spoke to him normally,” Pinkie pointed out.
“Oh right, sometimes I forget about that, I think I’m in worse condition than I thought,” Konata said in response and noted Osiris descending just enough so one of his claws touched the ground.
The two ponies made their way there and got onto the claw, “you can go up again Osiris, we’re ready,” Konata said.
The dragon ascended again, and positioned his claw next to his body so the ponies could climb up.
But in the middle of it Pinkie’s armor went off, the stress on her body kicked off, this made her trip and almost fall off, luckily Konata was quick enough to catch her before that could happen.
“Be careful Pinkie,” She said while getting her back up.
“Sorry Koni.”
Twilight saw her friends finally getting onto Osiris’ back, “Thank Celestia, you made it safe.”
“It wasn’t easy to do Twilight, but yes we made it. Pinkie, can you move?”
“I can Koni, I wasn’t as hurt as Dashie was.” Pinkie responded but noticed something, “Where’s Applejack?”
“Up here!” Applejack popped her head from the edge of Osiris’ head that covered the area where they were.
“What are you doing up there?” Konata asked with a raised eye brow.
“ ‘Ah can see everything from here.”
“I told her that it can be dangerous, but she didn’t listen and got up there anyways,” Twilight said while facehoofing.
“ It’s safe here Twilight, Osiris here put up a shield around so it’s safe.”
“Well she is right on that, there is a shield around us. I wonder when he put this up,” Konata said after getting up there with AJ. “By the way Osiris, why didn’t attacked the real Kurumi yet?”
“Lady Shana wants to battle her by her own means, she woke me up from my slumber on this world to protect you.”
“Oh, so you were sealed upon arriving here?”
“You could potentially say that, yes. But I was just outside of the boundaries of this world I never arrived here completely, I could only witness the situation while being ethereal.”
“I see, that explains those spikes in power I felt during these past few days.”
“Spikes in power? What do you mean by that?” Twilight asked from below.
“Any of you noticed some weird black flash on the sky, during the past week or so?”
“I did!” Pinkie appeared in Konata’s face.
“I did too, but thought it was some kind of weather phenomenon, I didn’t know it was related to somepony’s power.”
“I can only assume this only stopped when Shana got here with Osiris’ card which made him able to finally bypass the boundary, but also stopped him from seeing any more events until his summon.”
“I still don’t understand how that works, pieces of cardboard shouldn’t be able to contain such power,” Twilight said while tapping her chin with a hoof.
“Well, I know as much as you on that topic, the way these cards were made is only known by Ini.”
“I really need to meet her; I have so many questions for her! So much to learn, so much to experiment with!” Twilight was very excited.
“Good to see you’re back to your nerdy egghead self Twilight,” Konata said jokingly.
“You expect me to take that as a compliment?” Twilight said in a monotonous tone.
“Yup.”
Everypony laugh it out and seemingly forgot about their surroundings and what was happening at the moment, except for one.
‘Thank you for saving them Shana, they deserve to live peacefully, but I’m afraid that they will be targeted after this incident is over, they’ll go after them to get to us… well, I’ll think of something after all of this finally ends.’ Konata thought of the scenarios this could lead to.
The battle extended for way longer than Kurumi expected.
Even if she was able to heal her wounds, she wasted a lot of power in doing it so often, Shana was overpowering her.
On the other hand Shana’s aura of fire was even stronger; her eyes had a fiery shine upon them.
“Zafkiel, Zayin!” Kurumi said while pointing at seven o’clock and fired towards Shana.
The bullets went directly to Shana, she didn’t move to dodge them, instead she slashed the bullets in half and the fragments melted in her aura of fire.
“Is this all you have left Kurumi?” Shana asked with no sign of mockery, she was wondering if this was all.
“Are you making fun of me!?” Kurumi was losing her composure.
“Do you see me laughing at you, you idiot? If this is all you got, then I’ll much better prefer to see you cowering in fear while losing your will to fight. I want to avoid staining my hands with such filth if possible.”
Kurumi’s eyes twitched in rage, she got reminded of that time when she got defeated by the violent fire spirit.
“I’ll make you regret those words!” Kurumi said in complete rage.
“Oh~ is that so?” a bratty and slightly childish voice said.
This voice took the attention of everyone present.
Date a Live ost: Pride.
Kurumi saw her… the first one who defeated her, “You!”
“Long time no see crazy psychopath,” said the new girl.
This new girl’s appearance was that of cute middle school girl with red eyes and very long, light coral-colored hair tied on both sides with black ribbons in twintail style. She was wearing a white school uniform with a black tie, a teal-colored skirt, and long black stockings that reach up to half her thigh.
“Kotori what are you doing here?” Shana asked the new girl.
“You were doing something interesting and you didn’t told me, how mean of you. Well, it doesn’t matter even if I got here a bit late I can still have some fun,” the now named Kotori said while lifting and arm to the sky.
“Don’t you dare interfere with this battle Kotori,” Shana told Kotori.
“Since when do I have to listen to you, Shana?”
“Don’t try to get to my bad side Kotori.”
“Oh alright, you’re no fun.”
“Stop ignoring me! I’ll kill you both in this instant!” Kurumi threatened but soon after got drop kicked to the ground.
“Kotori, lend me your angel for a moment,” in her mind she just had enough of Kurumi.
“Huh? Are you sure you’re capable of using it? It’s not like your katana you know.”
“I’ll invite you the special menu from our newest restaurant if you do.”
Kotori eyes shined with excitement, “really?” Shana nodded. “Ok, you have my permission to use it.”
“Thank you,” Shana said before putting her sword inside her trench coat, and rising an arm to the sky, “burn, Camael!” upon saying those words flames erupted from her hand these took the form of a big red halberd. Despite the size of the new weapon Shana didn’t have problems with it and was able to freely use it.
Kurumi recovered enough to see Shana closing the distance with the new weapon.
“Cleave, Camael!” Shana shouted and attacked Kurumi who jumped backwards, the attack hit the ground instead, upon contact an explosion of flames occurred still hitting Kurumi and dealing heavy damage sending her rolling on the ground some distance away.
Kurumi was struggling to get up.
“It’s time to end this Kurumi,” Shana then launched herself to attack Kurumi.
But then a cloaked figure appeared in front of Kurumi.
“19th mechanism, Drilling Helix Form:Man-Perforator. Curse Calling!” A big hand drill appeared on this figure’s hand and blocked Shana’s attack and made her back off.
“That weapon… are you…” Shana was concerned by this new entity.
“8th mechanism, Crushing Cyclic Form: Wheel Punishment of Royaume de France. Curse Calling!” after that the Drill disappeared and got replaced by a big mechanical wheel that started chasing Shana.
Shana had to be very careful with this wheel; it was fast and crushed everything in its way a hit from would be very damaging.
She managed to change its direction with a strong hit at the side of it but then saw Kurumi and the other one surrounded by red magical aura.
“Sorry for interrupting, but we can’t have you catching miss time, bye bye!” a very childish voice said before Kurumi and the cloaked individual disappeared.
The wheel disappeared soon after as well.
Shana was left confused at what just happened, and returned Camael to Kotori.
“Do you think that is who we think it is?” she asked.
“Most certainly, she’s the only one with such an immature personality.” Kotori replied.
“Do we look for them?”
“I don’t think that would be of much help, if that was teleportation they could be anywhere, I’ll go take a look on the surrounding area just to be sure, you go and let Konata know what happened,” Kotori banished within flames after saying that.
Konata and the other two ponies that were on Osiris’ head saw everything and she even told Shana to help Kotori look for Kurumi and the other one. She assured that she would explain everything to the rest when they recover.
Shana flew away to search for the fugitives.
“Is this really over Koni?” Pinkie asked.
“For now at least, Kurumi was in very bad shape down there, I think the one who interrupted the fight was sent just to recover Kurumi.”
“So we won?” Applejack said with a raised brow.
“Technically yes, we won.” Konata let out a very tired sigh but smiled afterwards. “Osiris, can you let us down?”
“As you wish,” the dragon descended enough to let the ponies get off him, “I don’t think my presence is required anymore lady Konata, so with your permission I will resume my slumber.”
“Ok Osiris, thank you for protecting my friends.”
“Yeah, thanks Slify! I’ll throw Riny and you a party so I want to see you there!”
“Thank ya sugarcube, we couldn’t have done it without ya.”
“As a princess of Equestria I thank you mister Osiris for helping us in our time of need, I don’t know what we could have done if you weren’t here.”
“Your gratitude is unnecessary; I only followed orders from my master.”
With that said Osiris returned to card form, and Konata caught it and stored it with the rest for safety.
Konata with Rainbow on her back again looked at the rest, “well this was one heck of a day that’s for sure, so how does it sound to go and get fixed on the hospital and get a well deserved rest?”
“But we have a party in an hour. The moon is up already!” Pinkie pointed out.
“When did it got dark here? I didn’t even notice.”
“Me neither, I suppose we were just too invested in what was happening to even notice.” Twilight theorized.
“Well, ya can’t blame us fer that, it was certainly something that will be buried in our heads fer a long time,” Applejack said before flinching in pain, “ow… we better get going girls, that sprint from earlier did a fine job wearing me out.”
The other giggled some.
And with that, the mares made their way to the hospital to recover from this hellish battle that somehow didn’t end up destroying Ponyville, well not a lot of it at least.
Don’t worry sillies; we will have those houses fixed in no time! Until then, see you later everypony!
