Cadenza quickly dove underneath a Mendacore who swung a gigantic reckoning ball of a mace at her. "Yep! Don I do believe I see the difference in there strength!" The sky was dark not a single star in sight the dark clouds covered the moon, I already knew what Itenza was trying to do. Celestia charged across the wet grounds every gallop she took sent her faster and faster as her horn glowed and sparkled brightly. Cadenza leaped high into the air she charged up her horn as well. I looked up into the sky to see several Mendacore's leaping up after Cadenza. It finally took me a moment to realize that none of the Mendacore's had tried to attack me, not even once. "What's going on here?" I didn't have time to ponder why they weren't after me, I would just have to appeal to them more. The Sorceress Stone glowed brightly, I aimed my right hand for Cadenza. Sweat rolled down my face as silence engulfed me. Celestia fired, Cadenza fired, Don fired. Suddenly three rays of light shot in three different directions brightening up the sky. Light engulfed Cadenza as all of the Mendacore's around her where being whipped out, one by one. Light engulfed Celestia as the Mendacore's blindly approaching from both sides, they just exploded into darkness instantly. Celestia fired a large ray of light disintegrating several hundreds of Mendacore's, no matter how many she destroyed it seemed as if they just continued coming in larger waves with heavier force as time passed on. Don fell to one knee, still feeling a little exhausted from healing the two Princess's. Don breathed slowly as Mendacore's ran around passing him up. Don in a fit of rage stood up quickly with something to say. "Hey! You assholes, I'm right here! Come on let's see what you can really do! If anything at all!" Don clinched his fists in anger as the Mendacore's continued to ignore him. "That's... It!" Don quickly reached for a Mendacore, but before he could even get one in his hands, something or someone crashed into him sending him flying through the hordes of Mendacore's toppling them over on top of one another they still didn't attack Don. Celestia and Cadenza didn't stop to check on Don manely cause they couldn't, they had there hooves full. Although both of them knew Don was weakened from healing them. Don lied on the ground under a few dozen Mendacore's he could barely breath as the Mendacore's slowly left the dog pile. Don remained in a pile of dirt almost unable to move, whatever hit him was aiming for him it's impact was heavy upon Don's fragile form. After a minute of struggling Don managed to pull himself up, only to be greeted with his ultimate downfall. "So... It's you!" "Yes Don me, I didn't want the Mendacore's to ruff you up, I want you all to myself!" Itenza laughed maliciously as he walked towards Don who continued to sit in the dirt. "Itenza, I don't know how long it's been, but you couldn't have changed that much, remember last time we fought I kicked your ass then, and... I'll kick it now!" Don stood up he wobbled backhand fourth, Itenza licked his lips he was going to enjoy this. "Yes I remember, except this time the cards are in my favor!" Don finally gained his balance he starred Itenza down. "I hardly see how! You may have an overwhelming number of Mendacore's at your disposal, but we have heart and reason for fighting you however..." Itenza suddenly reached out and grabbed a hold of Don by the throat lifting him into the air stopping him from finishing that important sentence. The sudden panic and loss of air caused Don to drop the Sorceress Stone. "You know Don, I believe after a few days of relaxing I've finally figured out your one weakness. At first glance you appear to be a selfless being who only cares about others." Don struggled trying to break free of Itenza's grasp. Itenza just squeezed harder, not too hard though he didn't want Don's head to pop like a balloon. "However, I took a second glance, I noticed your one selfish act!" As Don's throat was being crushed, it was impossible for him to breath or call out for help he was forced to listen to his judgement brought down upon him by Itenza. "Don... Your only weakness is your undesirable need to protect... To protect her! I figure, if I kill her you won't even be an objective in this battle! You'll just be there watching as I kill everything and everyone! This world has none peace for far too long! If necessary I'll harness your power and destroy everything your fighting so hard to protect, or maybe I'll have you destroy them." Suddenly something really fast crashed into Itenza sending him flying into the crowds of Mendacore's. Don fell slowly to the ground he was barely able to cling onto his own consciousness, the black clouds above Don slowly receded revealing the moon and it's massive pressure falling down upon Don. Shining Armor, Colarine and Soarin landed beside Don who was lying on the ground still barely awake. Meanwhile Whip Wlash hovered in the sky as Mendacore after Mendacore flew into the air chasing after him. Whip Wlash's mane glowed brightly before he disappeared into thin air leaving the sky rippling in his wake. Cadenza repetitively shot rays of light down into the hordes of Mendacore's surrounding Celestia trying to keep them at bay long enough so that Celestia could work her way towards point of the Mendacore's origination in the hopes to completely halt the continued spawning of the wicked Mendacore's, but Cadenza couldn't hold out forever as with every shot cut her magic into fourths of her maximum. Don turned his head looking over to the Sorceress Stone, it glowed brightly as the cracks in the center suddenly closed shut. Don's eyes widened wide realizing exactly what that meant. "Oh my gosh! Twilight you didn't sever your connection from the Stone it's draining all of your magic!" Shining thought he heard Don mumble something he leaned down to Don who quickly pulled himself off of the ground in a sudden burst of energy. Don reached for the stone he quickly scooped it up into the palm of his hand as he channeled magic into the souls of his shoes he jumped into the air. "If I can just get rid of Itenza I have no doubt in my mind that this battle will end instantly!" Don flew through the air so fast it almost took the breathe out of him the air rippled around Don as Whip Wlash suddenly appeared next to him. "So... your Don, the human who saved me?" Don turned his head slowly, to see Whip Wlash fully healed and ready for war. "Yeh! That's me the one and only, I see you got back up on your hooves quickly!" "Yeah thanks to you!" Whip Wlash swerved around Mendacore's that continued flinging themselves at him Don was almost jealous as he watched Whip Wlash dodge the Mendacore's like it was nothing, until finally... Don suddenly appeared in between a Mendacore and Whip Wlash, Don grabbed the Mendacore and slung him around and around over his head. Whip Wlash backed away the fear of Don accidentally knocking up side the head with that Mendacore was too great. Don through the Mendacore into the air and aimed his right hand up towards him. Whip Wlash quickly looked up into the sky not wanting to miss it. "Now! DIE!" Don yelled as he shot a massive white beam of light at the Mendacore. Clearly Don still had some fight let in him. 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!' Celestia and Cadenza stopped fighting for a moment to see what exploded, both of them looked into the sky to see Don and Whip Wlash hovering beneath a massive explosion of white light and black static. Whip Wlash was a little mesmerized by Don's destructive force. Don lowered his hand slowly as static discharged off of his body. Suddenly something critical hit Don over the head. "Whip Wlash stop fooling around and go back to Colarine protect her, and tell Shining Armor to come to me, quickly!" Don looked down to Itenza who was waiting for Don to finish before they got started. Itenza yawned as he rose into the air he wasn't in the least bit excited. Whip Wlash's eyes widened as he starred at Itenza who didn't even have a scratch on him. "Bu...but I hit him with my strongest attack, how is he..." "WHIP WLASH! GO!" Don shouted out loudly. Whip Wlash quickly dashed off on Don's noble word. Itenza chuckled as he stretched his neck, arms and cracked his knuckles ready to beat Don down into a bloody pulp. "I guess I've only got one shot at this, I hope Shining doesn't screw up!" The moons rays of light illuminated Don as he grinned evilly. Itenza's eyes widened not in fear, but of excitement as he starred up to Don as the blinding moon illuminated him. "Well, well it seems you've uncovered the moon... however it still won't help you!" Don's eyes began glowing red as a blue aura engulfed Don's entire body from head to toe. "We'll see about that, now won't we!" Meanwhile in the EverFree Forest, black static continued to take advantage of Itenza stupidity. Black static charged violently through the forest destroying everything and anything in it's path the Mendacore's that didn't get in it's way marched right on past the black static as if they didn't notice it destroying there brethren. The black static was clearly going somewhere, but where? Don's hair slowly cross faded to black, Itenza stopped laughing as he felt Don's power disappear he was no longer able to detect it. Don sighed heavily, summoning all of this power was hard work of itself. "I may not even need Shining, I might be able to take him out in fell swoop!" Don suddenly disappeared from Itenza's sight. Itenza's eyes widened, he felt a cold chill suddenly shiver down his back. Don tapped Itenza on the shoulder, alerting him of his presence. Itenza quickly swung his fist at Don. Immediately Don slammed his fist into Itenza's a shockwave surged out of there attack on to one another. Sweat ran down Don's face, Itenza laughed. "You've only gained a slight advantage in speed, but strength is what your going to need to best me!" "Oh yeah, so what your saying is that I'm weak?" Suddenly Don drop kicked Itenza in the stomach, hitting him hard enough to apparently send him hurdling down to the ground as Itenza coughed up blood. Several dozens of Mendacore's dashed beneath of Itenza slowing his descent until he stopped just before hitting the ground. Don teleported to Itenza who's eyes simply widened wide as Don raised his right hand to Itenza's face. Don took a deep breath as the Sorceress Stone glowed and shook violently, Don smiled widely. "Goodbye!" Don said in a gentle tone to Itenza who quickly opened his mouth wide, Don fired, Itenza fired. Then suddenly in a single instant in time the entire sky and ground was set ablaze, followed by a blinding light as rain continued to pour down on every pony, Celestia and Cadenza hurdled uncontrollably through the hellish inferno that was somehow still quite moist from the rain. Whip Wlash quickly grabbed Colarine and teleported away, Shining and Soarin both quickly followed there example and got the hell out of dodge as the fire spread further and further towards the EverFree Forest and the destroyed Canterlot, flames filled the sky as Mendacore's howled out in pain. Cloudsdale Rainbow Dash listened to the explosions in the distance. "Aw! Come on, it sounds like some pony is having fun!" Suddenly the door to Rainbow Dash's room slowly opened wide, some pony trotted in slowly it sounded as if there where two of them. Rainbow Dash turned around cautiously, her eyes widened to this surprising sight. "Oh my gosh! It's you and... You!" Outskirts of the EverFree Forest Twilight Sparkle lied unconscious, as Spike curled up in a ball next to her. The barrier around them stood tall and strong unmoved by the violent battles from afar. The warm glow that Twilight was emitting from the seal on her back slowly began to diminish. A few Mendacore's howls echoed past the rain pounding against the barrier Don had left for Twilight. They where approaching quickly from all directions ready to strike both Twilight and Spike down. They would have to get past Don's barrier first. Outskirts of Canterlot Borderline of the EverFree Forest The sky was on fire as the light faded away, Don lied on the ground unconscious and totally in disrepair. Black static sparked around Don's body. Mendacore's lined the sortch marks in the ground, Itenza leaped out from underneath a pile of Mendacore's that willfully sacrificed themselves for him. Itenza hovered in mid air, barely damaged from Don's attack as Don lied completely out cold from Itenza firebomb attack. Itenza descended down to the ground, over towards Don he walked slowly, but somehow still quickly he was ready for this moment, he wanted to savor it, however he longed for it to be over. Before Itenza knew it, he was standing over top of Don, Itenza raised his fist into the air slowly. "NOT SO FAST!" Cadenza yelled from Itenza's right. Celestia charged up her horn and planted her hooves firmly into the ground from Itenza's left. "Don't you move a muscle!" Itenza looked down to Don then over to Cadenza who was ready to fire her horn then he looked back to Celestia who was also ready to blow him away. Itenza quickly and suddenly slung his fist downwards into the ground, Cadenza and Celestia's eyes widened wide in surprise and fear. Itenza quickly spun around and kicked Celestia and Cadenza away from him as he jumped backwards to a safer position to recover. Don lied on the ground unharmed next to the Sorceress Stone that was now in a million little pieces. Itenza for some reason smashed it instead of Don. Perhaps the heat of the moment caused him to miss, who knows. Several Mendacore's gathered around Itenza, as he looked down to his right hand black static sparked around it, Shards of the Sorceress Stone that he smashed to pieces where lodged into his hand as blood ran down his arm. "This pain in my hand, what is it! I don't understand I aimed for Don, but this happened instead." Princess Celestia and Cadenza regrouped around Don. Shining Armor and Soarin quickly appeared from behind the Princess's. Whip Wlash and Colarine reappeared out of the rippling air, every pony was back together again. However they were surrounded by flames coming from all directions and above, the only thing keeping them at bay was a thin layer of black static that expanded to protect more than just Don. The Mendacore's slowly regrouped forming a wall around Itenza, so he could rethink his strategy. Cadenza looked over to Celestia. "What do we do now, Don's out cold!" Celestia looked over to the Mendacore's that where holding there ground and not advancing towards them. "OK! Cadenza, Shining Armor aid me in restoring Don's strength, I feel as if Don is the only one who's capable of taking on Itenza now." Soarin looked over towards the Mendacore's who began moving slowly. "Umm... Whatever your going to do, you better do it fast! Cause we've got company." Celestia Cadenza's and Shining's eyes widened in fear. Colarine and Whip Wlash stepped up in front of Celestia. "We will hold off those bastards!" Whip Wlash looked over to Colarine, he remembered she always had quite the mouth on her. Whip Wlash looked back to Celestia and nodded. "However much time you need... We will get it for you!" Celestia looked to Whip Wlash and Colarine both where unafraid they even look anxious. "OK! But be careful you two, I'm sure there's some pony waiting for you after this all ends, don't disappoint her, if things get to hairy just get out fast!" Whip Wlash stretched his wings and popped his neck, "Do not worry Princess, they won't even know what hit them and besides this is payback for six years ago!" Soarin, Whip Wlash and Colarine all charged the Mendacore's at once in blazing glory, as the shield of black static that was keeping the flames of death at bay suddenly decreased in size. Princess Celestia and Princess Cadenza as well as Shining Armor all gathered around Don. Moonlight illuminated down engulfing Don's body it was as if Princess Luna herself was there. Celestia looked up to the moon and smiled. Then suddenly a blinding ray of light shot into the air almost touching the moon. The black rain clouds filled with rain spiraled around the ray of light. Meanwhile on the battlefield, Whip Wlash's mane glowed brightly before he disappeared. Both Soarin and Colarine charged a wave of Mendacore's together at the same time they both leaped into the air over top of them as Whip Wlash knocked them all into the air. Colarine flung herself into the fray instantly Mendacore's surrounded her. Colarine smiled evilly. "Let's dance!" Colarine spread her wings wide... Then suddenly she disappeared into thin air almost like magic. Whip Wlash flew through the air kicking every Mendacore that foolishly dared to approach him to there immediate deaths. Whip Wlash out of the corner of his eyes he noticed Colarine who began getting serious, as a rainbow exploded into the sky mixing in with the flames that Whip Wlash had to avoid, if he didn't want to end up dead again that is. Colarine flew circles around several Mendacore's sending them all hurdling uncontrollably up into the air, she quickly stopped for a breath allowing herself a moment to think of Rainbow Dash, it reminded her of the monsters that carried her off all those years ago. Then immediately Colarine looked up into the sky at the Mendacore's who still hadn't caught themselves yet. Colarine out of rage did a ninety degree turn flying straight up into the air aiming for the Mendacore's. "Die!" Whip Wlash and Soarin took a moment out of there very, very busy schedule to stop and see how Colarine was doing, they both watched as Colarine flew through a dozen or so Mendacore's. Colarine was moving so fast, the moment she collided with a Mendacore it exploded into dark flames onto the next one she went. "Whoa!" Soarin said in an almost frightened tone. "Whoa!" Whip Wlash said in a excited tone. Once Colarine had cleared the skies of those wretched pigs robbing Whip Wlash of his job, she moved onto the ground. Whip Wlash lied back relaxing for a moment, cause the Mendacore's weren't even focused on him anymore they where more concerned with Colarine. Soarin spread his wings wide, he charged several Mendacore's sending them head over heels, he enjoyed a little competition every now and then, however Colarine was really raising the bar. Whip Wlash noticed out of the corner of his eye again, Colarine began slowing down, she was fast approaching her limit, she recklessly continued fighting nonstop not even taking a breath. "Colarine be careful honey, don't push yourself!" Colarine squinted her eyes at Whip Wlash glaring daggers at him. "Don't tell me what to do! I've got this in my hooves!" Colarine sped up even faster than before. Soarin continued mowing down Mendacore's unfortunately he wasn't strong enough to finish them off they just kept getting back up for more he was nearing his limit as well. "Oh my gosh! Holy crap! There's so many of them!" Soarin stepped back as the Mendacore's surrounded him. "Oh no! Not good!" Suddenly a blazing raging fireball of death flew right past Whip Wlash and Colarine, the raging fireball destroyed every single Mendacore's around Soarin. Whip Wlash and Colarine stopped to see who was there. Soarin starred into the flames as out popped a pegasus in bandages, although her bandages where unraveling. Soarin's eyes widened as they glowed with the flames. "Sp..it..fi..re! Bu..but yo...you shouldn't be out here!" Spitfire flipped her mane back out of her eyes. "Do not worry Soarin, I had a little help getting back on my hooves!" Soarin starred to Spitfire's unburned body. Spitfire looked up to Whip Wlash starring down to her, then suddenly something collided with Spitfire. Colarine squeezed Spitfire tightly feeling so relieved that she was better. "Ouch! Big sis it still hurts a little bit, not too tight!" Colarine stepped back and whipped her eyes. "Sorry, I was just so worried!" Spitfire sighed heavily. "You make it sound like I could've died!" Suddenly a growl from behind was determined to ruin there reunion. Both Colarine and Spitfire where both unfocused, clearly considering a Mendacore stood right behind Spitfire. The Mendacore quickly slung his claws. 'Craaaaaasssssshhh!' Soarin, Colarine and Spitfire quickly turned to see Whip Wlash standing on top of a Mendacore who was three feet into the dirt a tiny crater was what the Mendacore lied in as he moaned out in pain. "Yeah! Ladies... Soarin we all can catch up later, but for now we have even more company!" Whip Wlash pointed to the raging hordes of Mendacore's patiently awaiting for them to finish with there clearly more important conversation. Whip Wlash's mane glowed as he disappeared back into the fray. Colarine and Spitfire two of the fastest mares in the entire world stretched there wings ready to battle it out together. Soarin seemed hesitant! However he wasn't afraid to get his hooves dirty. Colarine flapped her wings as little tiny sparkles of what almost seemed like magic exploded into a miniature sonic rainboom. Spitfire flapper her wings just as before sparkles filled the air along with the sudden spark of flames. Both Colarine and Spitfire shot across the battleground in a blazing colorful bout of glory. Whip Wlash rose high into the air he took a deep breath as he eyed the center of the massive embodiment of devastatingly hideous monsters to see Itenza patiently waiting behind his wall of Mendacore's he seemed distracted by something, but what? As Colarine and Spitfire charged the front destroying dozens of Memdacore's that dared approach them, and they all blindly approached them like good little fools. Whip Wlash dove down through the night time cold moist air. Itenza slowly turned his head looking up to Whip Wlash. Itenza starred at Whip Wlash as he grinned evilly. Colarine, Spitfire, Whip Wlash and Soarin all violently approached Itenza from all sides whipping out Mendacore's that would attempt to vanquish there hopes of destroying Itenza here and now. Suddenly Itenza was hit with a soul piercing stare. Itenza quickly and violently looked around in every direction trying to ascertain it's location. Don ascended high into the air, the moon illuminated him as his entire body glowed brightly an aura of pure redness engulfing him as his eyes glowed a bright gold color, his hair was a nice shiny white color. Don rose his right hand aiming his index finger directly for Itenza. Don exhaled slowly as he whispered... "Thank you Princess Celestia, Cadenza, Luna, Shining Armor and you Twilight Sparkle! All of you for restoring my full power, so that I may end this without any further causalities! Although I suppose there will be one more however..." 'Booooooooooom!' The area around Itenza sudden exploded into black flames. Colarine, Whip Wlash, Spitfire and Soarin all immediately swerved upwards attempting to avoid the flames that threatened to ensnare them. The four pegasus quickly regrouped around Don to immediately take notice of his new appearence. "Nice look Don, I'm really digging the whole red thing you got going on!" Spitfire said in an impressed tone. Whip Wlash looked down to see the ground to see Princess Celestia, Cadenza and Shining Armor unconscious inside a dome of black static. Don turned to Whip Wlash. "Listen to me, all of you take Cadenza, Celestia and Shining to Cloudsdale!" Don looked down to the wretched black flames of death as they cleared revealing Itenza, he was looking pretty mad and a little flustered. "Protect Cloudsdale, but whatever you do don't come back here! I can't guarantee your safety here!" Colarine quickly flew in front of Don. "What are saying we can't just run away and leave you to fight him and all of his little goons alone!" Soarin flew beside Colarine. "Yah! Let us help you!" Don slowly began descending towards Itenza. "No! You would all only get in the way!" Colarine, Soarin, and Spitfire starred with there eyes open wide surprised by Don's response, he was different from before changed. However Whip Wlash wasn't in the least bit surprised he starred at there numbers, he believe he knew what Don was going to do. Silence broke out as every pony starred at Don's back turned away from them. The rain had stopped the moon was illuminating everything. Whip Wlash turned to Spitfire and the others. "Come on let's quickly get them and go!" They all nodded in agreement. As Soarin, Spitfire, and Colarine gathered Celestia, Cadenza and Shining. Whip Wlash starred at Don who was fast approaching Itenza, however Whip Wlash noticed something shimmering that patterned off into the wind just beyond Don's face. "Be careful Don! I hope I get the chance to repay you back for what you've done for me!" Don landed on the ground, the moment his feet touched the ground black static instantly spread out surrounding Itenza who starred into Don's frozen stone cold golden eyes the ground began shaking due to the massive embodiments of power that where present in the same location. Don's eyes widened as he looked down to his hands they where trembling probably from the literally overwhelming amount of power coursing through his veins. "Is something wrong you seem to be having difficulties controlling yourself, I bet all of that power is hard to maintain, isn't it?" Itenza asked. Don sighed heavily as the air around him thickened with magic. "I'll be fine do not worry about me, I'll last long enough to kill you!" Itenza grinned as several hundred Mendacore's appeared between him and Don. "Who said I was worried?" Don began slowly walking towards the army of Mendacore's unafraid unmoved by there numbers. Itenza raised his guard ready for almost anything. Anything but Don! Suddenly every Mendacore moved forwards towards Don all at once, a frenzy they where in as they bumped into one another. Several Mendacore's leaped at Don who immediately disappeared into thin air. Itenza quickly looked up to see Don descending down to him from the air. Itenza quickly leaped backwards as Don slammed his fists into the ground. 'CraaaaaaasssssH!' The ground shook violently sending several Mendacore to there knees just trying to maintain there balance. Itenza inhaled a large amount of oxygen as magic belt up into his ever expanding cheeks. Don stood up slowly. A dozen or so Mendacore's that didn't loose there balance all leaped for Don as Itenza exhaled blue fire at Don who still didn't move neither did the expression on his face. As a tall fifty foot high wall of blue blazing flames rapidly approached Don who just glared at them unmoved unchanged unexpressed by there ever so quickly approaching presence. Don suddenly back flipped backwards quickly towards the angered horde of Mendacore's. Itenza eyes widened. Don quickly landed on two feet, surrounded by Mendacore's. Suddenly one of the Mendacore's began sparking violently as Don engulfed him with his magic pulling the Mendacore close. Don gripped the Mendacore tightly as he slung him around and around over his head leaning back touching the ground almost. Finally all of the Mendacore's around Don where all on the ground. Don quickly tossed the Mendacore he used as a sort of whip against the other Mendacore's. He tossed him into the raging flames Don blinked his eyes and disappeared as the single Mendacore screamed out in agony. The blazing blue inferno engulfed the Mendacore's on the ground burning them to a crispy crisp. Don reappeared before Itenza who's eyes widened. Suddenly Don's body flinched as a massive headache shrouded him, Itenza instantly took advantage of Don's misfortune. Itenza punched Don in the gut sending him flying backwards towards the blue flames of death. Don blinked his eyes rapidly regaining control over himself from that short temporary intermission as Don fast approached the flames, Don quickly spun around as a small barely visible white barrier surrounded him. Don flew into the flames hopefully after he raised his barrier. Itenza quickly chased after Don he flew into he flames after him. Don took a deep breathing trying to savor them. Shockwaves surged out of the flames as Don blocked Itenza's kicks and punches. The ground continued to shake and quack just from the sheer force of there attacks, both meant business, both aimed to kill. Suddenly the blue inferno exploded sending flames in every direction, Itenza and Don hovered in mid air in the center of the explosion. Blue flames black static and pure awesomeness spiraled around them as both of them starred the other one down. Don and Itenza pushed there fists into one another trying to push the other back, but neither one budged an inch. Itenza's eyes widened in anger. "Why can't I hit you?" Sweat slowly ran down Don's face the pressure was finally building up. "It's probably because your too weak!" Itenza's eyes widened wider, then suddenly Itenza kneed Don in the stomach. Don coughed up blood as he quickly swerved back away from Itenza. 'cough' 'cough' "Aw! What's the matter did I hit you too hard, come here let me make it better!" Itenza teleported to Don instantly slamming his fists into his back sending him spiraling downwards towards the ground. Black static quickly swarmed around Don slowing his descent stopping him completely just a few inches off the ground. Don's eyes widened in confusion. "What just happened, what was that just now?" Don slowly spun around to where he was facing Itenza who was charging Don at incredible speeds Don almost couldnt follow. Don barely managed to dodged Itenza as he gabbed his fists into the ground getting then stuck. "What the hell! He's faster now, bu...but how?" Black rain clouds began filling the sky covering the moon once again it began to drizzle down onto Itenza and Don. Itenza finally pulled his hands out of the ground he turned to Don, who quickly rose his right hand into the air. Itenza's eyes widened as Don's hand glowed and pulsated as magic began to materialize in the palm of his hand. "Oh so that's how you wanna play it, fine then so be it!" Itenza leaped back he began to summon all of his magical power. Don took a slow long deep breath. Cloudsdale Hospital Rainbow Dash lied in her bed snoozing, enjoying the peace and quite, seriously how could she not. 'snore' 'snore' 'snore' Light illuminated through the gaping hole in her room a gentle breeze blew in brushing up against Rainbow Dash as she burrowed deeper into the covers. Meanwhile on the roof of Cloudsdale hospital, Soarin, Spitfire, Whip Wlash, and Colarine landed. They lied Princess Celestia and Cadenza down on the ground gentle. However Shining began waking up he opened his eyes slowly feeling completely drained of all energy and life. "What happened? Is the battle over did we win?" Whip Wlash approached the edge of roof he starred down just in time to see... 'Boooooooooooom!' Whip Wlash's eyes widened as the ground brightened. Colarine and Spitfire quickly dashed over to take a look. Shining who just pulled himself off of the ground and Soarin both joined them in the starring contest. Shining's eyes widened as well. "Oh my Celestia! I take it Don is still fighting that evil nasty dragon then!" Whip Wlash bobbed his head in conformation. Both Spitfire and Colarine turned to Whip Wlash with an angered annoyed look on there faces. "See look, I'm telling you Don needs our help!" Colarine protested. Whip Wlash shook his head in disagreement. "No! Besides Don doesn't want our help!" Spitfire slammed her hooves into the ground out of anger. "Are you kidding me! What is it Whip Wlash are you still afraid! You really haven't changed not one bit your still just a coward!" Spitfire stretched her wings about to take off when suddenly. Spitfire was engulfed in magic, some pony stopped her in mid air. Whip Wlash and Colarine looked back to see Princess Celestia back on her front hooves already using magic, incredible! "No Spitfire! Don will be fine, I have faith in him, and so will you!" Celestia dropped Spitfire she fell to the ground totally crushed. "Then what? Are we suppose to just wait for Don to save us, can't we do it on our own?" Celestia stood up on all four hooves she slowly trotted over to Spitfire. "Spitfire I would take on Itenza if I could, but believe it or not I have my limitations as well!" Cadenza continued to lay on the ground. 'snore' 'snore' 'snore' Soarin continued to stare over the edge. Explosions covered the ground as black and blue flames rose into the air. Colarine nudged on Whip Wlash's tail. "Come on, it's been six years I can't wait any longer!" Whip Wlash blushed brightly as he stepped back away from Colarine. "Umm... Is now really the time!" Colarine immediately faced hoofed hard leaving a mark on her forehead. "You idiot! I mean I can't wait for us to be a family again!" Colarine pulled Whip Wlash off. "Oh we'll if that's what you meant then you could've just said so in the first place!" Colarine pushed Whip Wlash towards the door leading downstairs back into the hospital. "I thought I did, and why is that the first thing you thought of?" Whip Wlash didn't respond he remained silent. Spitfire starred over the edge along with Princess Celestia, Shining Armor and Soarin. None of them where even remotely aware that Whip Wlash and Colarine had run off. Edge of Canterlot Borderline of the EverFree Forest Don sprinted through the burning ground as cracks spread further and further with every step Don took. Don violently slung his arms back and forth sending fireballs hurdling towards Itenza. Itenza laughed as bounced back and fourth dodging and swerving around the fireballs with ease sometimes he'd even dare to grabbed one and toss it back at Don. Itenza laughed manically as Don reckless destroyed everything around him. "Don your aim is pathetic! Really what are you trying to hit, me! or that tree behind me!" Itenza laugh evilly. "Honestly you managed to hit everything else but me, why is that I wonder perhaps your slipping." Don's bright golden eyes widened as the wind brushed up against his ghostly white hair, black static continued to discharge repetitively off of Don who was still engulfed in a massive red aura. Don looked down to his hands trembling. "I don't get it! Why can't I hit you now?" Itenza continued to laugh psychotically. "Yes... Why indeed!" End of Chapter 29
