Topaz raced through the sky, flying high over the Crystal Empire. His eyes were locked on Sombra, whom had no idea that Prince Topaz was back to his full power.
"There you are!" a flash of rainbow shot in front of the prince. "We are here to help you fight Sombra! Princess Celestia asked us to help you!" the rainbow haired blue pegasus shouted as she circled Topaz.
"I do not need help! You fillies will only get in the way!" Topaz spat angrily at the pegasus.
"Rainbow Dash!" a calmer voice sounded from behind the Crystal Prince. "Please allow us to aid you in reclaiming the Crystal Empire. We are here to help you-"
"No! This is my fight. Onyx can still be saved," Topaz hissed, ducking under the pegasus and willing his wings to flap harder. He crashed through the barrier, immediately getting Sombra's attention. "You did not kill me with that spell! I will save my brother!" he cried, magic swirling around his horn as he spoke.
"Bahaha! That foal is long since dead! And soon, you will join him in eternal slumber!" Sombra roared, lighting his own horn.
Topaz shot a purifying spell at the base of Sombra's crystal stand, shattering it and sending the monster plummeting to the ground.
Sombra shot a dark spell at the flying prince, who managed to dodge it. Sombra, however, didn't let up. He continued to shoot spell after spell at Topaz, getting angrier the more he dodged them.
Topaz struggled to remember the words of the spell that was given to him by Discord. His horn lit as the words flooded back into his head. He prepared to shoot the spell.
A large ball of dark magic burnt through Topaz's left wing, sending his to the ground as well.
Topaz cried out in pain, letting go of the spell. He landed on all four hooves, nurturing his hurt wing.
The spell wrapped itself around Sombra, following the monster as he tried to escape from it. The spell broke into wisps and plunged into the monster.
Sombra let out a screech of pain as the spell pulled a small black colt with a dark gray main and tail out of Sombra's chest. "NOOOOOO!" his cries soon faded into the darkening sky as the spell dispersed, along with the soul of King Sombra.
The small colt was unconscious, but alive. His small flank rose and fell as he breathed heavily.
Topaz stumbled over to the colt and rested his nose on his head. "Onyx. Please stay with me, Little Brother," Topaz murmured softly.
The group of fillies hurried over to the hurt prince.
"Prince Topaz! Your hurt!" Shining Armour raced after the fillies, skidding to a halt beside Topaz.
"The Crystal Heart will heal me in a few days time," Topaz replied, not taking his nose off the colt.
"Topaz!" Princess Luna's cry startled the group and Topaz lifted his head to see the dark blue alicorn flying down to land in front of him.
"L-Lulu!" Topaz yelped, trying to hide his hurt wing.
"Topaz, you managed to save him!" Luna exclaimed happily.
"Who is he?" Shining Armour asked, crouching down to get a better look at the foal.
"His name is Onyx. He is my little brother," Topaz replied softly.
"Brother!?" the purple alicorn shouted.
"Twilight! That was our reaction when we defeated Nightmare Moon and found out that she was really Princess Luna! Remember? I do! Cause I was all Like-!"
"Now now, Pinkie Pie. We all remember that very well," the orange-ish earth pony said, stuffing an apple into the pink pony's mouth.
The colt sat up, a hoof on his head. "Ouch." he whimpered.
"Onyx!" Topaz looked down at the foal, his eyes watering. "I'm so glad you aren't hurt."
"What about you, Topaz? Are you hurt?" Luna asked, nosing the foal into a standing position.
"Not badly." Topaz admitted.
"Twily, get Cadencefor me," Shining Armour said, turning to the purple alicorn.
"On it!" Twilight nodded. She jumped into the air and spread her wings. "Come on girls!" she encouraged before flying away to the Crystal Empire.
"Onyx, are you ready to go home?" Topaz asked the little foal.
"Yes, Brother!" the little unicorn nodded, stumbling over to his older brother.
"Let me carry you, little one," Luna murmured. She gently picked Onyx up and set him on her back.
Side by side, Topaz and Luna trotted back into the Crystal Empire, their wings touched every so often as they moved.
Curious ponies cautiously stepped outside of the homes and fell into a trot behind their prince.
