Don and Itenza quickly jumped back from a safe distance away from the other. Lightning flashed in the distance thunder crackled, it was going to pour again. Don starred Itenza down, both stood unmoved by the others very powerful presence. "Itenza I don't know where all of your extra power is coming from, but it doesn't matter I can still kill you easily!"

Itenza laughed not taking Don seriously. "Oh yeah! Well then show me what you got!" Don clinched his fists tightly. "I will!" Don immediately teleported before Itenza who's eyes spread wide open afraid of Don's outburst of speed, perhaps it was time he stopped underestimating Don.

Don smiled widely as he kicked Itenza upwards sending him spiraling through the air. Don quickly teleported away again. Itenza flew through the air he spun around like a tornado causing very heavy winds he breathed smoke out out of his nostrils in anger as his eyes darted around searching for Don back and fourth they went.

Don coughed into his fist loudly making his presence crudely known. "Umm... I'm right behind you!" Itenza quickly spun around slinging his violently sharp claws through the air. Don slammed his left fist into Itenza's stomach, stopping him from attacking, as Itenza quickly pulled his hands back to his chest holding it in pain.

Don noticed the shimmering blood running down Itenza hand followed by a strange familiar sensation. "What is that?" Don didn't waste time pondering what it was he wanted to end this quickly. As Itenza backed away from Don trying to hold on to his launch. Don quickly teleported behind Itenza, Don raised his fists that where balled up together into the air. Don channeled magic into his fists before pummeling Itenza on the back. Black static discharged off of Don and Itenza as he screamed out in pain.

Itenza hurdled downwards through the air at a rapidly increasing spead spiraling towards what was hopefully his end. Sweat rolled down Don's face he didn't stop there. Don quickly rose both of he hands into the air not allowing himself even a moment to rest for a moment was all Itenza needed.

'Crrraaaaaaaaassssssshhhh!'

Itenza had crashed the red aura around Don began shrinking as black static discharged and spread out of Don's fingertips. The clouds began discharging black static as well. Don breathed heavily as he starred down to the puff of smoke rising into the air. It began to rain Don looked up slowly. "Perfect! I love this kind of weather." Don exhaled slowly as everything seemed to slow down as time around him froze. Don's eyes suddenly shot open. "Now! Itenza! DIE!" Lightning flashed as thunder roared, Itenza screamed out in agonizing pain.

Cloudsdale Hospital

Soarin felt a little depressed him not offering that big of a contribution he felt more like a burden than anything. Soarin quietly walked off not wanting to get in the way. Meanwhile in a less depressing scene down stairs. Rainbow Dash bounced up and down jumping for joy as she flapped both of her wings.

Rainbow Dash stopped and starred up to a tall mysterious man wearing a black trench coat he wore black tinted glasses hiding his eyes and possibly his true intentions. Rainbow Dash hugged the man's legs. "Thank you so much mister, but why did you heal me?" The man slowly looked down to Rainbow Dash he patted her on the head. "I did because I made a promise long ago, anyway little filly I really must be going!"

The man walked past Rainbow Dash as she let go of him. "Bu...but wait can't you at least tell me your name?" The man sighed. "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, I gotta go I have something extremely urgent I must attend to, but could you do me a favor and not tell any pony you saw me."

Rainbow Dash was totally confused. "Umm... I guess, but what am I suppose to do if my mom asks, I don't wanna lie to her she'd be really mad at me." The man scratched his head for a moment. "Tell her... you were healed miraculously by magic! I have to go, see you later Rainbow Dash!" The mysterious man leaped out of the hole in Rainbow Dash's wall.

Rainbow Dash could barely contain herself she looked back to her left wing completely healed. Rainbow Dash flew around the room as happy as a lark. Meanwhile on the rooftop Celestia starred over the edge feeling a bit drowsy she was barely able to maintain her consciousness.

Spitfire took notice of Celestia who was wobbling back and fourth. "Umm... Princess are you alright?" Celestia fell back on her royal butt she inhaled a deep breath. "Yeah! I think I'm going to be fine I'm still a little drained from healing Don!" Shining fell back as well. "I know how you feel? I can't believe how much it took out of me!" Spitfire looked back to see Cadenza still hasn't awoken yet. "It must be hitting Princess Cadenza the heaviest she hasn't even woken up yet!"

'BooooooooooooooooooooM!'

Suddenly a frighteningly loud lightning strike struck the ground somewhere it was close. The strike echoed throughout Equestria. Every ponies heart was sent racing upwards probably out of there chest's. Spitfire fell back trying her darnedest not to have a heart attack. Cadenza bounced up in a sudden panic. "BWAH! What's happening?" Cadenza looked around in fear her eyes widened.

Celestia held her chest her heart almost popped out of it. Shining starred over the edge of the Cloudsdale hospital that just happened to be on the edge of Cloudsdale itself. Shining's eyes widened in absolute fear. "Oh my gosh! Every pony look is that... black lightning!" Celestia and Cadenza quickly gazed out over the edge to see black lightning shooting down into the ground.

Cadenza's eyes widened even wider at the strange mesmerizing sight. "I've never seen black lightning before how strange it can't be natural!" Celestia looked over to Cadenza. "It isn't natural if I didn't know any better, I would say that's Don!"

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash hid underneath of the covers trembling from that frighteningly loud pop. The doors to Rainbow Dash's room opened slowly. Colarine stumbled in feeling a little flustered from the lightning that almost nearly literally killed her. Rainbow Dash didn't even bother to look out from underneath of the covers, she was way too afraid I'm not even sure if she noticed Colarine was there.

Colarine starred at Rainbow Dash shivering in fear hiding under the covers. Colarine slowly lifted herself off of the ground she quietly glided through the air over to Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash it's me!" Colarine said in a soft comforting tone as! Rainbow Dash slowly shuffled out from underneath of the covers she looked up to Colarine hovering above her.

"Mom! Your back!" Rainbow Dash pushed herself upwards off of the bed into the air hugging Colarine tightly. Colarine hugged her back just as tight. "Did that lightning scare you!" Rainbow Dash pushed herself away from Colarine. "It didn't scare me, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Come on its OK to be afraid!" Colarine said in a welcoming tone. Rainbow Dash lat go of Colarine she fell into the bed crisscrossing her hooves. "Nope! I'm not afraid!" Then suddenly right on cue another heavy bolt of lightning stuck the ground. Before Colarine could even blink Rainbow Dash was back squeezing her tightly trembling. "Yeah! Just like me not afraid of anything!"

Colarine gently landed on the bed she coughed signaling Whip Wlash to make his grand entrance. Rainbow Dash snuggled into Colarine's hooves happy she was back. Rainbow Dash looked up to Colarine with a look of curiosity on her face. "Mom where did you go anyway?" Colarine sighed loudly. "Well I chased after a certain some pony!"

Rainbow Dash continued to stare at her mother the same look of confusion evident upon her face. "Who?" Colarine looked over to the door as Whip Wlash stepped in. "Me!" Rainbow Dash turned to see Whip Wlash starring directly at her. "Who are you?" Whip Wlash face hoofed as a thick heavy black rain cloud loomed over top of him he was depressed he couldn't believe his own daughter didn't even remember him. Whip Wlash sighed heavily as he walked over towards the bed.

"Rainbow Dash I'm your fa..." Rainbow Dash suddenly cut him off. "Wait! Yeah! I remember now..." Whip Wlash smiled widely. "Your the pony who interrupted us while we were sleeping!" Whip Wlash felt like he could just die right there on the spot just kill over. "No! Rainbow Dash I'm your fath..." Rainbow Dash cut him off again... "How do you know my name?"

Colarine and Whip Wlash face hoofed in unison. Whip Wlash turned to Colarine he sighed. "She's just like you, yah know that!" Colarine giggled to that complement. Rainbow Dash quickly turned her head looking back in fourth to Colarine and Whip Wlash they chatted as if they knew each other for years. Whip Wlash starred at Rainbow Dash with a soft smile resting on his face. "Rainbow Dash... I'm your... father!" Colarine looked down to Rainbow Dash to see her reaction. "R..really!" Rainbow Dash's eyes watered. "Two days ago I didn't have a mom or dad and now... Now I have both!"

Rainbow Dash flapped her wings and flew into Whip Wlash's hooves. Colarine immediately noticed that, but she didn't want to ruin a beautiful moment with hammering questions. Tears slowly ran down Rainbow Dash's face, tears of joy that is. "I love you... Dad!" Whip Wlash's heart skipped a best he hadn't heard those words in years it made all of the hard work he'd put into searching for Rainbow Dash completely worth it. A tear or two escaped Whip Wlash as he said. "I love you too, Rainbow Dash!"

Colarine whipped her eyes clear. She quickly pulled them both into the bed for a group hug. "Here we are... Together again!" Rainbow Dash cried loudly into her new found family's hooves although she tried to fight it, she just couldn't. She simply couldn't! For a moment to Rainbow Dash everything seemed like it was going to be a OK, she felt the warmth and the protection overwhelm her, it was unlike anything she'd ever felt before ever!

Colarine and Whip Wlash held Rainbow Dash tightly in there hooves as the family of three lied in the small hospital bed. Suddenly Colarine could hear the pitter patter of Rainbow Dash's gentle breathing the tears had stopped replaced with...

'snore' 'snore' 'snore' 'snore' 'snore'

Whip Wlash looked down between him and Colarine to see, Rainbow Dash had fallen asleep in there hooves. "Aw! She's so adorable!" Colarine said in a soft low tone. "Yes she is!" Whip Wlash agreed.

Edge of Canterlot Borderline of the EverFree Forest

Black static sparked around Don as he slowly descended to the ground he landed. Instantly Don fell to his knees gasping for air. "I won't be able to do that again for a while at least!" A ways away from Don was a huge crater in the ground smoke rose from where Don stuck it several times with lightning. "I wonder if he felt that one... If he's even still alive that is."

Don's eyes suddenly shot open, at the sound of something burrowing out from underneath the ground. The ground beneath Don began to crack Don instantly pushed himself off of the ground and into the sky he flew. Don's golden eyes gazed down upon Itenza who stood up out from the dirt almost nearly unharmed. Don trembled to the sight of him. "Bu...but how... How can you... still be alive, that's impossible!"

Itenza laughed loudly. "Don, Don, Don when will you learn to open your eyes!" Don starred feverishly at Itenza the only part of him that was wounded was his right hand. Finally Don noticed it. "Oh my gosh! No! Twilight!" Don starred down to Itenza's right hand to see pieces of the Sorceress Stone that where jammed inside of Itenza's hand. "You bastard, your going to kill her if you keep using her magic like that!" Don descended to the ground. Itenza chuckled. "What will you do now I wonder?"

Don clinched his teeth in anger, as his rage swelled. Itenza starred Don down just daring him to attack. Don exhaled slowly. "Fine I'll lead this dance!" Don disappeared into thin air. Itenza grinned before disappearing as well. Almost immediately after both of them vanished into thin air, the sky began pulsating with energy.

The ground shook violently as Don tore across the sky violently demonstrating a massive display of power. Don crashed into Itenza there's fists collided the force of there collision sent multiple shockwaves out shaking the skies as well as the land below. Itenza began smoking as if he was heating up, Don discharged more black static trying to overwhelm Itenza, but he was failing. Don's eyes widened wide in realization as Itenza pushed Don back. Don let himself get foolishly distracted. Itenza took that to his advantage by kneeing Don in the gut.

Don dropped his fists to his stomach which ached in pain, seriously how could it not. Don coughed up blood as Itenza slammed his left fist into Don's face, it rippled slowly, Itenza's punch sent Don hurdling backwards. Don flew through the air uncontrollably like a rag doll. Don opened his eyes despite the pain in his face and stomach. "Oh my go..."

'CraaaaaaaaasssssssH!'

Itenza laughed. 'hahaha' "Score two points!" Don crashed into the mountain side that was just above the decimated town of Canterlot that still lied empty in ruins. Itenza looked down to his right hand to see black static was discharging off of it, the sudden sensation of pain dawned down on Itenza's face.

Ponyvile

The residents of Ponyvile all gathered outside mainly cause most of there houses where burnt down, the storm sure was picking up wind speed increased the rain became heavy. Every pony starred as smoke rose from the mountain above Canterlot, even from this distance it was clear that pieces of rocks and debris where falling down from the mountain whatever hit it, hit hard!

The mayor of Ponyvile starred in fear. "What's happening over there? OK listen up every pony we are going to take shelter in the town hall it's still standing tall unmoved by this... Well whatever's happening!" The mayor marched off for town hall, every pony quickly followed her lead wanting to feel some safety and security once again.

Sweet Apple Acres

Applejack slowly trotted outside she was really drowsy she didn't usually get up this early. Although the cause for this was Big Mac who stood behind her. Pinky Pie bounced off of the porch and over to Applejack and Big Mac. "Pinky Pie be careful with those nails, Applejack you get the hammers I'll haul the planks back over here!"

Applejack stumbled back and fourth. "Big Mac I don't think I can, do this..." Pinky Pie bounced over to Applejack. "Come on AJ we can do this together, besides you can sleep all you want once we finish." Pinky Pie starred to the worn down barn with a gigantic gaping hole in the center of it. "This is going to be the greatest thing ever, it'll be ten times better than before!" Big Mac dropped a load of planks next to the broken down barn. "Now that's the spirit, let's do this!"

Canterlot

The mysterious man in a long black trench coat stood beneath the town of Canterlot surrounded by the destroyed castle that lied in ruins. The man looked around with an anxious look on his face. "Where is it, I need to find it! Oh man this place looks totally totaled, what if it didn't survive, oh no!"

The man walked forward two or three feet before stepping on something solid and familiar. The man looked down to see Donathan's spell book. "Ah! Finally it's about time!" The man picked the book up and looked up into the sky. Electricity filled the big puffy rainclouds overhead.

The man took his sun glasses off slowly revealing his bright golden eyes. "This looks familiar, if I'm not mistaken this is where it ends!" The man looked down to the book in his right hand. He channeled magic into his left hand. Then suddenly by defying all logic and reasoning another book completely identical to the one in his right hand began materializing in his left hand.

"I'm glad I learned this trick!" The man sat the original down on the ground. "Although things seemed to have changed slightly! Well I suppose that's my doing!" The man wearing a black trench coat with golden eyes glared back into the sky to see a familiar force. "So it's that son of a bitch!"

Skies Above Canterlot

Itenza hovered high in the air waiting in wonder. "I wonder if I killed him... Well I did hit him as hard as I could!" Suddenly Don shot directly out of the mountain speeding across the sky flying straight at Itenza. "Really, that's as hard as you can hit, you barely knocked the breath out of me! You hit like a girl!"

Don hovered a few yards away from Itenza trying to keep his distance he breathed heavily. Sweat and blood slowly slid down Don's neck. Itenza and Don starred one another down both took a breath then disappeared at once. Instantly after they disappeared the sky lit up.

Explosions and fireballs flew back and fourth through the rain. Don fired black fire Itenza shot blue fire both formidably frightening. I personally wouldn't want to deal with that. Don swerved up and and left and right trying desperately to avoid Itenza's fireballs if they hit him he'd light up like a Christmas tree. Suddenly Don dove underneath of a fireball he inhaled a large amount of air.

Before Itenza could even react Don exhaled black flames of death. Itenza screamed out in pain. Don quickly flew across the sky towards Itenza. Don reached for Itenza's right hand he, Don slapped his left hand against Itenza's right hand. The shards of the Sorceress Stone pierced Don's hand.

In that moment, for that one instant in time Don felt Itenza's true heart, Don was frightened by it however Don felt Twilight's innocence which saved him from Itenza's hatred filled darkness. Don blinked his eyes rapidly as he gripped the shards of the Sorceress Stone tightly and then yanked them out of Itenza's hand. Don quickly pressed his feet against Itenza's chest as he wallowed in flaming pain, Don kicked jumped off of Itenza's chest flying towards the mountain of Camterlot.

A blinding pain engulfed Don's left hand, blood dripped off of his left hand, as Don pondered weather or not he should use the Sorceress Stone. "I could use the boost in magic, but it's side effects are too great I haven't mastered the Sorceress Stone yet, besides I don't want to take anymore of Twilight's magic. I won't need it!"

Don stored the stone away in his back pocket, Don stopped flying away he turned around to see Itenza still struggling with the black flames. Don swiped his right hand over his left healing it instantly. Don clinched his fists together. "OK! I'm ready for round four!" Then suddenly Don's ghostly white hair faded to dark black as one third of Don's power vanished into the wind.

Don was suddenly struck with fatigue, he breathed heavily. "Wait! What just happened? No! Not now, No! NO!" Don screamed out in annoyance with a hint of anger evident in his roars. Itenza finally extinguished the black flames, Itenza looked around violently searching for Don. Don sighed loudly he took this time to attempt to regain a few ounces of his lost power. "Come on baby! I just need a little more!"

Cloudsdale Hospital

The two royal Princess's as well as Shining and Spitfire sat on the edge of the hospital starring down over the edge. They looked like a bunch of zombified spectators. Shining turned to Celestia "Princess Celestia do you feel that!" Celestia nodded in agreement. "Yep! Unfortunately I do!" Spitfire looked over to the magical beings sitting beside her. "Well what is it, what's wrong?"

Celestia gulped. "It's Don he's lost over a third of his magic! I'm not sure what's going on out there, but I hope Don is alright!" Spitfire's eyes widened in fear. "Wait! You mean Don has lost over a third of his magic, that doesn't sound good!" Cadenza randomly popped open a bag of chips. Celestia and Shining both turned to Cadenza.

"Ehmm! Cadenza! Is this really the best time!" Cadenza slowly backed away from Shining and Celestia she clutched her bag of chips tightly not to tight though for fear of smashing them to crumbs. "Hey a mare's gotta eat!" Spitfire looked around in a confused lost state as if she was looking for something or some pony. "Hey, where's Soarin?"

Celestia and Cadenza looked around. "Umm... I don't see him I guess he's not here!" Spitfire instantly double face hoofed with both of here hooves. "Well of course he isn't here, that's why I asked where he was!" Celestia sighed. "Why don't you go look for him, Cadenza and I have things covered here." Spitfire sat up and stretched her wings then it hit her. "Whoa! Wait what do you mean you've got things covered here?"

"Well we'll keep watch we have to protect Cloudsdale just in case the battle finds it's way up here!" Spitfire's eyes widened in fear. "You don't think Itenza and his endless hordes of Mendacore's would come here, do you!"

"...It's possible!"

Skies of Canterlot

Itenza flew across the sky charging Don who's eyes shot open. "Looks like he's ready , I didn't recover much magic!" Don clinched his hands as the air around him thickened his hair began to glow white. "It'll just have to do!" Sweat rolled down Don's face as he teleported to Itenza not wanting to keep him waiting. Don also knew that dragging this battle out any longer would prove bad for him.

Don reappeared swinging his fists at Itenza who immediately grabbed them stopping Don in mid air. Don's eyes widened. "Bu..but how?" Itenza smiled as he kicked Don in the stomach sending him hurdling upwards through the air. Don flew up higher into the air past the clouds and above he went. Don managed to grab himself stopping himself from hurdling any farther. The air was thin, it was difficult to breathe.

Don looked up to see the stars shining down upon him his eyes widened to there beauty he looked off in the distance to see the moon was nearing the edge of the horizon. The end of the night was fast approaching. "I have to end this before the sun rises, if I don't I'll lose another third of my power!" Don looked down at the right moment to see Itenza flying straight at him.

Don quickly clapped his hands together, instantly a slightly visible blue barrier appeared around Don grinned at Itenza who just slammed his fists into Don's barrier sending cranks up it. Don's eyes widened in fear this was quite a surprise. "What? No way you still have the power to damage one of my barriers!" Itenza grinned suddenly he head butted the barrier causing it to instantly shatter to pieces he quickly reached over and grabbed Don by the throat.

"You insolent little brat did you think that just by removing those shards that I would become weaker!" Itenza slung Don around and around over top of his head then finally he lat go. Don flew spiraling downwards uncontrollably as he gasped for air his hair shifted from white to black again, probably for the last time. Itenza looked down to his left hand. "Why? Why does it still hurt, and what's this feeling?" Itenza breathed heavily, it was true that without the shards of the Sorceress Stone logged into his hand that his power was cut in half.

Sweet Apple Acres

The lonely sun began to slowly rise as the darkness covering the sweet apples acres slowly diminished down to nothing. The sun peeped it's head out from behind the mountains in the distance brightening up sweet apple acres. The sound of hammers swinging back and fourth, as well as the sound of hard soul crushing work filling the air. Big Mac continued to haul heavy planks back and fourth.

Applejack and Pinky Pie just finished the side of the barn, it looked incredible it sparkled due to it's newness. Now they both moved on for the roof. "Pinky hand me ah nail would yah!" Pinky Pie bounced on over to a pale full of nails. "Sure thing! AJ!" Pinky Pie grabbed a nail with her teeth she tossed it into the air to Applejack who reached out and grabbed it.

Applejack looked down to Pinky Pie with a concerned look on her face. "Pinky Pie what did I tell you!" Pinky Pie sat down on the ground she took a deep breath. "You told me to never ever pick up nails with my mouth, cause if I did I might swallow one and if I did then you'd have to do the heimlich maneuver on me, and you said I wouldn't like that very much!"

"Exactly, so Pinky tell me if yah'll can remember that, then would it kill you to just remember what I said, and do it cause if you don't it actually will kill you!" "I'm sorry Applejack!" Pinky Pie starred down into the dirt feeling a little depressed. Applejack went back to work furiously slamming her hammer into the nails bonding the planks in place. Applejack whipped sweat off of her face.

Big Mac looked up into the sky as the stars slowly disappeared into the brightness of the sun as it rose. Big Macintosh's eyes suddenly widened at the sight of something crashing down through the sky heading straight for him. Big Mac quickly dove into the dirt as a familiar face flew overhead. Big Mac looked up to see Don flying past him he immediately took notice to where he was heading. "Oh no! Applejack!"

Applejack and Pinky Pie turned around at the sound of Big Mac's howler. Applejack and Pinky Pie's eyes widened as they both quickly dove out of the. Big Mac looked away in fear. 'CraaaaaaaaaaassssssssH!' Applejack and Pinky Pie trembled as they hid with there heads in the dirt.

The ground shook violently for a moment or two smoke began to rise into the air as the heat of the sun pounded down on Applejack's head. Pinky Pie stood up and looked around. "What happened is it over are we..." Pinky Pie's mouth suddenly hit the ground. Applejack stood up she dusted herself off she slowly looked around time suddenly began to slow down for her. Applejack's eyes twitched as she starred at the barn lying in pieces that were scattered across the front lawn.

Applejack slowly marched over to barn stomping her hooves into the ground with every step she took. "Hey now! Who the heck is responsible for this mess, show your face so I can kick it!" Suddenly Applejack noticed a hand sticking out from underneath of the pile of rubble and shattered planks. Applejack's eyes widened in fear realizing the only one it could be. "D...D..Don! N..no!" Applejack fell to the ground her eyes watered. "No!" She said to herself in a low tone.

Big Mac heard the sound of something hurdling towards him he felt it's heat hit him in the back. Big Mac looked behind his self to see a gigantic blazing fireball hurdling towards him. Big Mac quickly galloped over to Applejack he grabbed her then Pinky Pie and ran for the house. "Big Mac put me down now!" Suddenly...

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!'

Applejack's eyes widened wider as the barn suddenly lit up ablaze. "Noooooo!" Applejack screamed. Pinky Pie's eyes watered as she cried into her hooves. Heat pounded against the burning barn as sparks flew off of the barn and in an instant the grass around the barn was set on fire.

The fire began slowly spreading as it transcended into a wild fire. The fire slowly engulfed the entire front lawn of Applejack's farm house. Big Mac quickly ran inside with the two fillies on his back. Black static sparked around the burning barn house that lied in shambles. Suddenly the ground shook violently as Itenza landed in the blazing inferno that was Applejack's front lawn.

Itenza starred at the burning barn. Suddenly black lighting shot out of the raging fire. Itenza didn't react in time. The black lightning engulfed Itenza electrocuting him half to death. Don slowly rose out of the flaming hell he previously lied in. Don's jacket slowly burned to ashes as it flew off of him into the wind.

Don breathed heavily sweat covered his face and chest his black hair grew in length as his eyes brightened bloody red, along with another third of his strength also went his golden eyes. "Th..that hurt a lot!" Itenza breathed slowly electricity still discharged from him. Don looked around feeling a bit confused he had no clue to where he was. Don finally noticed Big Mac, Pinky Pie and Applejack cowering inside there house starring out the window they looked up to Don with fear evident in there eyes.

Don instantly knew. "I'm... here not good!" Don quickly rose his hands into the air. Magically induced wind spiraled around Don's body faster and faster it went. Itenza finally caught his breath he looked up to Don just in time. Don suddenly lowered his arms to his waist. The hurricane of wind exploded out sending a tall wall of winds in every direction around Don.

The flames in the fields and on the destroyed barn where instantly extinguished the wall of wind moved faster approaching Applejack's farm house extinguishing the flames that violently aimed for there home. Wind blew past Itenza as all of his precious flames where now gone. "What a pity I rather liked those flames, especially when they're engulfing you!" Don descended to the ground he glared daggers at Itenza. Applejack starred at Don he looked different frightening almost Applejack's back legs trembled.

Don quickly dashed across the ground Itenza leaped backwards as Don swung his fists at him. Itenza attracted his claws instantly swinging them at Don who immediately dove underneath of Itenza's attack. Itenza screamed out in anger he'd only sliced a tree into pieces completely missing his true target. Don suddenly drop kicked Itenza sending him flying backwards into the wide wide sweet apple acres forest. Don stopped for a moment allowing himself to catch his breath.

Applejack, Pinky Pie and Big Mac's eyes blinked rapidly as they starred to there burnt down barn and there destroyed lawn. Big Mac approached the staircase leading upstairs. "I think I'm going to go take a nap!" Big Mac stumbled upstairs as Pinky Pie slowly turned looking over to Applejack. "What now?"

Sweet Apple Acres Forest

Don charged inside of the forest blood slowly dripped down off of Don's left hand. "I have to make this count!" Don leaped up into the sky only to find Itenza waiting for him. For the first time in a while Itenza charged Don. "It's time to end this!" Don slowly hovered towards Itenza holding his left hand hidden behind his back as a shard of the Sorceress Stone glowed.

Don felt woozy it looked as if Itenza was moving slowly. Don blinked his eyes instantly Itenza suddenly appeared before him. Suddenly as Don was about to react another third of his energy and magic vanished before his eyes. Don's hair suddenly shortened as it faded to rainbow colors. Don's eyes faded to light blue. Don began to descended to the ground unable to maintain his presence in the air. Itenza quickly grabbed Don by the neck holding him up. "Going somewhere? What, why are you leaving so soon?"

Itenza forcefully punched Don in the gut repetitively. Don coughed up blood, he dropped the shards of the Sorceress Stone. Don was back to square one no power left inside of his body. Itenza grinned evilly. "Now Don I'm going to show you something that may be a little upsetting to you, so I think you should sit down." Itenza suddenly tossed Don into the wind.

Cloudsdale Hospital

Cadenza stood up slowly as did Celestia as her back legs trembled "Oh! Oh my gosh! Don! He's... He's..." Celestia and Cadenza quickly leaped off of Cloudsdale's hospital's roof. Both of them flew as fast as they possibly could Shining lied down half asleep unaware of what was happening below him.

Meanwhile Colarine and Whip Wlash mumbled back and forth to one another as Rainbow Dash slept between them. Suddenly Rainbow Dash bounced up. "Nooooooo! Stay back!" Rainbow Dash screamed out as she looked around the room. Colarine and Whip Wlash starred at Rainbow Dash wondering what was wrong. Rainbow Dash slowly backed away from her parents, not even realizing the edge of the bed was right behind her she fell off crashing to the floor.

'CraaaasH!' "Ouch! That hurt!" Rainbow Dash quickly bounced up Colarine and Whip Wlash jumped down in front of her. "Honey what's wrong did you have a nightmare?" Colarine asked. Rainbow Dash looked around she began sweating heavily. "Umm... Yeah... a nightmare it was just a nightmare... I hope!" Colarine pulled Rainbow Dash close. Whip Wlash trotted towards the door. "Hay you two why don't we go get some Ice cream!" The sound of ice cream cheered Rainbow Dash up quickly. Colarine and Rainbow Dash approached the door. Rainbow Dash still seemed a little cautious.

Ponyvile

'CraaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssH!'

Smoke rose into the air as the sun beat down onto Don who lied in a tiny crater. Itenza hovered above Don he placed one foot onto Don's chest. Itenza slowly pushed downwards sending Don a few more feet into the ground, it was so far in the ground it could be his grave. Itenza lat up a bit. Don opened his eyes to see Itenza. "Don this is where I break your spirit, I've decided to bend you to my will, so I figure it'll be easier when you have nothing left to fight for!" Itenza looked into the sky.

Don could barely hear Itenza his ears where slowly going deaf his sight doubled. Itenza inhaled an insane amount of air his jaw loosened to expand to a size that could store all of this oxygen. Itenza aimed for Cloudsdale then suddenly time began to slow down as he exhaled bluish red flames of death in a large furious blazing fashion wave after wave they flew for Cloudsdale.

Don's eyes slowly closed shut he could hear screaming, cries for help his heart skipped a beat as he starred down to Rainbow Dash who was lying on his stomach. Rainbow Dash looked up to me with watery eyes. "Do you Promise!" I wrapped my arms around her. "Yes I Promise!"

Tears slowly ran down Don's face as his heart sped up, black static violently discharged off of Don shooting up right past Itenza into the sky. Don's eyes suddenly shot open he eye'd the massive embodiement of flames that where heading directly for Cloudsdale. "No! No! No! Nooooooo!" Don screamed out almost as if he was in pain, he suddenly pushed Itenza off of him in an outburst of power. Don using the last ounces of his magic he teleported away.

Canterlot

The mysterious man in black glared at the raging flames hurdling towards Cloudsdale. "Hmm... This didn't happen before, strange I'm feeling something inside of me! I don't like this feeling I thought I banished it away to the far corners of my mind decades ago! Now it's back!" The man angrily clinched his fists, he wore black leather gloves that tightly creased as he squeezed his hands together. "Damn it!"

EverFree Forest Castle of Two Sisters

Black static charged into the run down ruins of the castle of two sisters. Despite the static needing to protect Don, it also needed to be strong for Don. The black static quickly shot across the floor to the central hall. Broken Glass covered the floor as six glowing orbs lied scattered across the room. The embodiment of black static quickly split itself into seven entities. One immediately shuffled towards the exit the other six entities engulfed the elements of harmony.

However the lone embodiment of black static didn't retreat to Ponyvile, instead it headed in the complete opposite direction. Suddenly a bright blinding spiraling rainbow colored beam of light shot upwards out of a hole convienitly in the roof of the castle. Black static slowly crawled up the spout of rainbow magic. Compared to the rising sun, the rainbow magic shined brighter than anything. Well almost anything...

Cloudsdale

Both Princess Celestia and Princess Cadenza quickly flew downwards passing Cloudsdale then suddenly. Don appeared before them, both of the royal Princess's came to a sudden halt as they faced Don's back. Don immediately without a word to say he slammed his hands together almost as if he was praying. Celestia flew to Don's right Cadenza flew to Don's left.

Both Princess Celestia's and Princess Cadenza's unicorn horns glowed and sparkled violently as they pushed all of there remaining magic out from deep within. Blood ran down Don's neck as tears slowly slid down his face. Don's watery eyes shot open his eyes where bright glowing blue filled with an ever expanding rage. Don pulled his hands apart the bluish red flames approached him at a rapidly increasing speed as it grew in size due to the sun's heat.

Don, Celestia and Cadenza unleashed all of there magic at once it instantly spread out engulfing the entire city in the sky that is Cloudsdale. Itenza's eyes widened as a thick rainbow colored barrier surrounded Cloudsdale. Don, Celestia and Cadenza screamed out in pain. The bluish red flames completely and instantly engulfed Cloudsdale, in that moment in that instant in time to Don protesting Cloudsdale was worth dying for.
