My Little Pony: The Lost Soul

by Shadow Master


Chapter 22: Hope

"Shadow Dragon and I reunited with the rest of our friends including Applejack being well and alive. I'm so happy and relieved that they're alright and forgive me for saying horrible things to them. And now, we're ready to face our greatest threat together.

We fought and battled against Storm King. He's very strong and deadly when he was possessing and holding the Staff of Sacanas. It wasn't easy for us trying to defeat him and get the staff. With the help of Tempest, we have defeated and thrown him into the tornadoes. We got the Staff of Sacanas. With it, we quelled the natural chaotic disasters. It was over. So we thought.

Kyuubi Lilith ambushed and held captive on us. With everything and ingredients including me prepared, she can begin the Dark Sacrificial Ritual. To complete the ritual, she has to kill me by stabbing through my heart for absorbing and sending my soul straight into the ritual mark, along with my friends' deepest negative emotions and feelings. With it completed, Demon God is set to return to Equestria by absorbing more of souls.

I... I'm dead now... Now, my friends are on their own to face off Kyuubi Lilith. They have to stop and defeat her and get the Staff of Sacanas and Orb of Lost Soul to end it before it's too late. Can they do it without me..."


At the Canterlot City, Mystic-Equestria Alliance continued their fierce battle against the last remaining forces of Storm King-Dark Mystic Army. Most of the enemy fleets, military transports and arsenals have been destroyed during their fierce battle.

Amon, Psychopath Joke, Warstrike and Grimcrush gave the order and led the remaining forces of Dark Mystic, fleeing and escaping the battlefield. They all returned to their own realm safely. Storm Kingdom remained behind, continued fighting and battling the enemies, but easily repelled and defeated by the allied force.

And thanks to Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and the children stopping and defeating the Storm King, the chaotic natural disasters have been quelled and silenced. Now, it's their chance to push back and reclaimed the capital city. Shining Armor and his main units of E.R.A.s continued charging at the enemy forces, followed by Azure Phoenix and the remaining forces of Mystic-Equestria Alliance. The Allied Fleets flew close to the capital city. The end of battle is close.

BOOM! Mystic-Equestria Alliance halted their advance while Storm Kingdom stopped defending and repelling back the enemies as they all have heard some explosion noise. They turned and looked up at the balcony.

Everyone saw the blackish beam shot out from the castle as it fired straight into the sky. It then formed the darkest clouds hissing, howling and screeching eerily and darkly, along with the purple lightning struck out and the screams of pain and despair sounded. It began consuming and blocking the clear sky and brightest sun's light. It also then rained its dark purplish water drops and the lightning struck down on the ground.

"W-What's going on?!" Starlight asked in concern.

Feeling the ground quaking wildly, Sunset hissed, "I don't think I like the sound of that."

"Oh no..." Sunburst said in shock and concern, "It's starting!"

Flash looked shock and worried to ask, "Wait. You don't mean..."

Shining Armor gasped, "Twiley..."

"You mean we're too late?" Princess Cadance asked in concern, "Her life's been sacrificed?!"

The ground formed strange purplish spiritual energy-like to emerge and flown straight to the sky. One of Skeleton Warriors took a breathe on it. He yelped in pain as he coughed and breathed heavily like he's been suffocating. However, he wasn't the only one as more too have suffered his fate as well. Both Mystic-Equestria Alliance and Storm Kingdom including Shining Armor and his team were all suffocating and screaming wildly and painfully as they're losing their energy, strength and lives within them.

And at the same time, the ground was shaking and quaking wildly and crazily, causing the city blocks began breaking apart, falling and crashing into pieces. The ground began cracking from Canterlot City across the Equestria like something or someone's trying to breaking out. It even has some dark purplish glow within it. The hissing and roaring was sounded out loud, followed by giant claw breaking through and emerging out from the hollow. Everyone was alerted, worried and scared of what they just heard and saw.

"Oh no. He's coming!" Princess Cadance exclaimed in concern yet painfully, "Everyone's... in danger... Flurry! I'm sorry..."

Shining Armor groaned in pain while cried tearfully, "Cadance... Flurry... Mom... Dad... Twiley... I... I'm sorry..."

As everyone was suffering and screaming from their souls being ripped apart from their bodies, the Demon God slowly emerging out from the ground. He is coming back.


Witnessing from the castle's balcony, Kyuubi Lilith smirked proudly and happily that her mission was success. She removed the mask, revealing her 'beautiful' face again. She took a deep breathe before looking at the scenery of world in chaos and thousands death souls ascending to the dark sky. She not only killed Twilight for sacrifice and revenge, but also freed her father from his prison realm. She then laughed amusingly and happily that everything has gone according to the Chaos Heralds' plan.

Still in pain and despair, Shadow Dragon was still looking at Twilight's corpse while holding her in his arms. He even cried and sobbed tearfully. All of his friends and children were there as well. All of them were mourning and crying tearfully over her death. They couldn't believe that she got killed when they just reunited and apologized over their mistakes they've made from last four days. She's gone...

"I can't believe it..." Shadow Dragon said in pain and despair while cried tearfully, "I've lost her... I've lost my love again..."

Applejack sniffed tearfully, "I couldn't believe it either too, partner. She can't be gone... She can't be..." Nyx cried tearfully, making her to hold and hug the little black Alicorn. She shushed gently at her, "It's okay, sugarcube. It's okay."

"No! It's not!" Nyx protested while cried tearfully and angrily, "It's not alright! It's not! My mommy is gone! She's gone!"

Applejack sighed in defeat as she can't deny Nyx's upset. While patting the little filly's back, the cowgirl cried tearfully, "I know. I know, sugarcube."

Spike groaned before slammed his fist against the floor, "No. No! Noooooooo!"

"Damn it... Damn it all," Lance cursed angrily, "Mother... I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect her. I failed my family..."

As Shadow Dragon and his friends were crying and mourning over Twilight's death, Kyuubi Lilith was annoyed and irritated to hear their sobbing of tears and pain. She turned and glared at the scene.

"Are you done sobbing over the dead body? It's very irritating and disgusting." Kyuubi Lilith asked in annoyance, causing Shadow Dragon and his friends snapped back to reality. They turned and glared at her. She continued, "You have seen many death before, so why bother with this one? This one's nothing special and important. Her life is meaningless and worthless."

"Nothing special?! Nothing Important?!" Pinkie asked angrily.

Fluttershy growled in anger, "Her life is meaningless?! Worthless?!"

"How dare you?!" Rarity snapped in anger.

Rainbow yelled in anger, "You've got no right to talk our friend like that!"

"And you fools do? And whose fault that led her to death in the first place?" Kyuubi Lilith asked amusingly, shocking yet angering Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force. She continued, "That's right. You fools did it. What kind of friends are you all for abandoning and betraying her and their important missions for personal desires? Pathetic and weakling."

"Pathetic?! Weakling?!" Blazefist asked angrily, "You dare call Twilight that?!"

"Bastard!" Aqua snapped in anger.

Laxtinct snarled, "I'm so gonna kill that bitch!"

Terrorcreep growled, "I couldn't agree more..."

"But to be honest with you all," Kyuubi Lilith said calmly and amusingly, "You all be better off without friends like her. After all, she's hardly worth anything. She's good as death!"

That was the last straw! Shadow Dragon roared in anger, "SHUT UP!"

Holding Twilight's corpse close to him, Shadow Dragon angrily charged and punched straight at Kyuubi Lilith's beautiful face, which unleash powerful push and knock her straight to the walls. His friends cheered wildly and angrily for giving her the taste of medicine. The Chaos Herald of Lust grunted in pain from the attack. She then found her nose bleed.

Kyuubi Lilith snarled, "How dare you?! You dare harm me?!"

"You deserve it, bitch," Saber snapped in anger.

"You have no right talk to us about our friendship with Twilight," Shorty added angrily, "In fact, you have no right to talk bad about her!"

"And besides, you're ugliest creature we ever seen!" Tailtech snapped angrily.

Icy nodded, "Yeah. Twilight's the more beautiful than you, you ugly son of a bitch! Her heart is much purer and better than yours!"

"Yeah. We can bet that Yami loved Hikari, not because of her looks or powers but her beautiful and gentle heart," Flare Tiger commented firmly, "And yours is the worse and ugly."

"You betcha, you'all," Applejack said firmly before turned and glared at Kyuubi Lilith, "Twilight is always better than you, no matter what you do. You can never beat that."

"Twilight is the best friend we ever had!" Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie and Flutttershy cheered firmly.

Shadow Dragon nodded, "That's right. I will and always love her more than you. You can take any forms you wanted, but you are not my love!"

"Yeah! Twilight's the best!" Lance, Nyx and Spike cheered firmly and wildly, "Twilight's the best!"

Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and the children cheered and chanted 'Twilight's the best' for few times. This has annoyed and angered Kyuubi Lilith to scream in anger and fury, silencing and scaring them at once.

"You will regret for insulting me, mortals!" Kyuubi Lilith snarled angrily. She then glared at Shadow Dragon, "After millennium years have passed, you still harbor some feelings for Hikari even in death?!"

Shadow Dragon's eyes narrowed angrily and firmly while holding a grip on Twilight's corpse close to him, "Nothing will ever change that. Not even you, demon."

"We shall see," Kyuubi Lilith said dryly and darkly. She armed with her demonic claws, "I promise you that you will be mine and mine alone, even if I must kill you and reincarnate you into a perfect being to think and feel for me only!"

Annoyed and angered by Kyuubi's desire, Shadow Dragon gently and calmly put Twilight's corpse down. He then summoned and readied with his Darkness Blade, "Over my dead body, bitch!"

Looking at the Staff of Sacanas and the Orb of Lost Souls on ritual mark, Tailtech gasped gave some thoughts and spoke, "Guys, I might have some idea." Everyone turned and looked at him. He continued while analyzing and calculating the situation, "In theory, if we get and use those relics, we might have the chance to not only stop the ritual but also freeing all those souls including Twilight's!"

Everyone gasped in shock and surprise. Applejack asked, "We can get Twilight back?!"

"Theoretically, yes," Tailtech said nervously and concernedly, "But either way, we have to get those relics back first!"

"Count on it," Rainbow said firmly.

Blazefist nodded, "Agreed. Even if we must die trying to get them back, no matter the cost. This is for Twilight."

Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force nodded firmly, "Yeah."

Sensing and suspecting Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force's intention, Kyuubi Lilith quickly and swiftly grabbed and held on the Staff of Sacanas. She then narrowed her angry eyes, "You want this so badly? Then come and get it, insects!"

Though Mane Five, Dragon Strike Force and the children were nervous and scared; they remained firm yet brave and determined as they have to get back both the Staff of Sacanas and Orb of Lost Soul, so they can free and save Twilight's soul.

"We will get Twilight's soul back! And we will kill you, bitch!" Shadow Dragon snapped angrily and firmly, "Everyone, attack! Kids, look after her body!"

Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force gave the loud battle cry before charged straight at Kyuubi Lilith. Lance, Nyx and Spike quickly moved to the corner of the throne chamber, where they kept Twilight's corpse close to them. Instead of running or fighting Kyuubi Lilith, Tempest stood there and watched the battle between ponies and Chaos Herald. She wondered of how they would be able to defeat and overcome her.

Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force surrounded Kyuubi Lilith, who remained calm and still. And just before they could do anything, she snapped her fingers, alerting and gesturing her Harpy Minions to engage them as well. The ponies responded by fiercely and determinedly swinging their weapons to fight against the Harpy Minions, and even killing them. Kyuubi Lilith remained standing still while amusingly and pleasingly watched the duel.

After the ponies have defeated the Harpy Minions, they turned their attention at Kyuubi Lilith, who remained still and calm. When Applejack tried to land a punch on Kyuubi Lilith, the Chaos Herald has magically split herself into two. The first one gave a punch at her, followed firing Dark Magic, blasting the cowgirl off. She was lucky as Saber and Shadow Dragon catch her in time. The rest of their friends came and regrouped with them. And just before they could do anything, two Kyuubi Lilith snapped their fingers as they split themselves into more of themselves.

This confused but also frustrated and annoyed Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force. They all began fiercely and angrily attacked all of Kyuubi Lilith clones. The clones counterattack the ponies' attacks aggressively and fiercely yet swiftly. Some changed their shapes and forms to match with their enemies' appearance. Others used their Trickster Fox Style to swiftly dodge and evade the attacks before strike back. Most used their Illusion Spells to confuse and evade the attacks. A few used their spells such as Dark Magic, Curse Spell and Song of Death at them. Kyuubi Lilith Clones have easily and aggressively defeated Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force.

Despite the beatings they have suffered, Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force refused to give up and continued attacking Kyuubi Lilith, who remained calm and amused as she used her magic tricks and skills to dodge and evade the attacks while strike back at them at ease.

The children became uneasy and scared as they hoped that Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force survived the battle with Chaos Herald of Lust. And at the same time, they were keeping an eye on Twilight's corpse. Tempest approached the children from behind.

"What are you doing?" Lance demanded.

"Analyzing the situation, and also keeping an eye on you and your mother. I'm not expecting friendly reply from you either," Tempest said firmly. She continued, "They don't stand a chance against her."

"We know. But they have to," Lance said firmly.

"Why? Why risk their lives against something or someone is more powerful and impossible to defeat and kill," Tempest asked firmly.

Spike gave Tempest a serious and firm looks, "Because this is what friends do. They will do anything to save the ones they care."

Tempest was in shock and surprise as she has heard those words before. Lance sighed, "Right now. That Staff of Sacanas and Orb of Lost Souls are ticket to save Twilight. We have to get it or die trying. And we're not giving up."

"We have to save her," Spike said tearfully and agony as he looked at Twilight, "I'd be lost without her..."

Shocked and surprised of how dedicated, caring and determined these friends are; Tempest sighed, "Twilight's truly lucky to have friends like you..."

"You have no idea," Nyx said firmly. She turned and looked at Twilight's motionless face. She sighed while sniffled tearfully, "Mummy, we really need you now..."


SCREAMED! Twilight got up from the ground. She then panted and breathed heavily yet fearfully and worriedly. She then slowly calmed herself down.

While looking around of her surroundings, Twilight shockingly and fearfully found the world is in darkness but also covered with wasteland, dead forests, skeletal-like animals, thousands of pony and human skulls, another thousands more of purplish glowing spiritual orbs-like floating around and so much watery blood flowing across the ground. She even could hear some dark, grieve and dreadful muttering and chanting from the spiritual orbs-like.

She then found herself covered in blood, Twilight gasped in shock and fear as she tried to move. Sudden feeling ache and pain on her chest, she grunted in agony. She looked down at her chest, where she found a large hole pierce through her chest. She was in shock and scared, wondering how did she get it. She then realized and remembered of what happen. She was stabbed to death while her soul was removed and absorbed by the Orb of Lost Soul for Dark Sacrificial Ritual. She has died.

"I can't believe it... I died..." Twilight said in disbelief, "The ritual has started means the Demon God is coming back. Now, my friends and family could have died." Her eyes formed with tears, she coughed a bit, "I failed. I've let everypony down. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Twilight then cried and sobbed tearfully over her failures and death, realizing that everything she and her friends have worked for is gone forever.

While Twilight was still crying; a mysterious spiritual glowing light, appeared out of nowhere, flowed and approached to her. She then shined out brightly upon her. Twilight refused to look and find out as she was sobbing tearfully.

"Twilight... Twilight..." The gentle and kindhearted voice called, surprising and shocking Twilight to look up. She found the spiritual orb slowly formed into a familiar Sky Princess, which surprised and shocked her. She continued, "Please... Stand up now..."

"I-Iris?!" Twilight asked in surprise.

"Twilight, you must stand up now," Iris pleaded firmly yet gently, "Your friends... Our families... They need you now. You have to help them now."

Though wanted to help her family and friends so much, Twilight sighed as she looked down in defeat and pain, "I... I can't." Iris was in shock and concern. She continued, "How can I help them when I'm dead? Even if I wanted to help them, how can I escape this place is? We can't stop and defeat Chaos Herald of Lust. She's too cunning, manipulative and powerful. She's a god."

Though understanding Twilight's predicament, Iris remained firm and calm as she spoke, "So what?" Twilight was in shock and surprised. She continued, "Twilight, there will always be a strong opponent or obstacle for us to face. Despite that, we can't give up the fight, no matter what."

"I don't even know how or what we can do. It's... It's impossible..." Twilight said in concern.

Sensing Twilight's concerns and fears, Iris approached her. She helped holding the lavender Alicorn's face to look at her.

"Twilight, do you remember all the missions and battles you have been through?" Iris asked calmly. Twilight nodded a bit. She continued, "Most of them are impossible to win and overcome, and yet you'd never give up and keep on fighting until you win, no matter what happens. Something has make you to keep going. Something make you fight for what is worth. Something that makes you never give up. Tell me, Twilight. What is it did you fight for in the first place?"

Twilight gave some thoughts of what Iris has said. She then recalled of what she has been through since the beginning. She remembered how scary and dangerous obstacles and trials she has to face and overcome for many years. She also recalled that she has to be alone to do what she has to save the Equestria. But she also remembered why she did it and how she achieve it in the first place.

"Yeah, I do..." Twilight answered calmly. She looked up and faced at Iris. She sighed before closed her eyes, "When I first came to Ponyville, I'd never care or bother about friendship. All I want is to make sure Equestria is safe from danger. I felt like I have to be alone to do it. I felt it's my duty and responsible to princesses and my home."

Iris smiled amusingly as she expecting something. She asked, "So, did you really do it alone?"

"No. No, I didn't," Twilight said firmly and confidently. She opened her eyes to face at Iris. She answered, "It was my friends. They're the first ponies to open up my eyes, and also make me realize that friendship is truly magical. In fact, it helped and taught me so much, and it even make realize that I can help them and open their minds about friendship. "

"Did you do it alone to achieve that goal?"

"Again. No. My friends were there for me. They helped me achieve that goal. They helped me overcome the impossible and achieved victory. It even helped me gain something I never thought I could get."

"Should I ask again?"

"Not just friends. A daughter, a son and a love in my life. Friendship is truly wondrous and magical for making impossible possible."

"Then, let me ask you one more time," Iris said firmly with her determined eyes, "Are you going to give up and let everything died?"

Twilight narrowed her determined eyes, "Not a chance. As long as I stand, I won't let my dreams and everyone I loved die. I have something and some ponies to fight for."

Iris smiled proudly, "That's the spirit, Twilight. Like us, I'd never quit."

"About time that you get snap out of it," Midnight's voice spoke dryly. Twilight and Iris looked back, and found Midnight Sparkle stood before them. She groaned, "That's gotta be the cheesiest and sappiest speech I ever heard."

Iris scoffed as she shrugged, "Guilty as charge. But worth it."

Midnight groaned while crossed her hooves, "Whatever. I just want to get out and kill that bitch! She screw up everything, and even our life! And trust me, I am one pissed dark side of Princess of Friendship you do not want to mess with!"

"Really? That's something," Twilight said amusingly.

Midnight groaned, "Don't get use to it, princess..."

Twilight then looked around of her surroundings, "But do we get out of here? We're stuck here."

Iris smiled as she held Twilight's left hoof, "Working together as a team and friends."

Midnight groaned as she held Twilight's right hoof, "Sometimes, it makes me less sick. Better hope it's worth everything."

"Twilight, call out your Elements of Harmony." Iris instructed firmly, "They will respond to your call. Chant them something it is familiar with. They will help you escape this realm. And it is also the time to let these unfortunate souls free."

"Better hope that you can get the Rainbow Power," Midnight added, "It's the only thing that can beats that bitch. It did help us beat Tirek and Dark Curse. It can do so again."

Twilight nodded firmly, "Alright, let's do this!"

Twilight tightly held both Iris and Midnight's hooves as they all began praying and meditating firmly and peacefully. Their bodies glowed brightly in lavender colors. The large silhouette female with large angelic wings worn kimono dress and Japony Crown with golden light glowing appeared behind them

"Oh, Elements of Harmony, grant me and my friends strength and magic now! Please help us!" Twilight prayed firmly and calmly, "Please help us! Help the ponies and creatures across the Equestria! Unite all of us, so we can stand and fight together as one! We are strong and powerful together as one! Help us to defeat this evil! Help us to save our home! We are one!"

Her mane slowly gained some familiar streaks of yellow and some magenta on her mane and tail, her wings are filled with purple and magenta colors and her hooves are covered with sparkling magical stars. She began to glow brightly and majestically. She turned and looked at both Iris and Midnight, who nodded firmly and then spiritually entered her body.

Twilight's Inner Voice: When I lost my way in my Darkest Hour
You all have come and bring me back to Light.
My best friends, you always have been there for me,

Twilight spread her wings out. She then lifted off from the ground as she flew straight to the top. With the thoughts of her friends and everyone she met, cared and loved in her heart; Twilight became determined that she will return to the living and help them to overcome and defeat Kyuubi Lilith and prevent Demon God's return.

Seeing something shiny at the depth of the darkness, Twilight believed that is the way out from the prison. While charging straight at the shinning light, she gave the loud battle cry as she was about to breach and make the fierce impact through it.

Twilight's Inner Voice: When you've gave me courage, you became my strength
When you show me wisdom, you became my mind
The Light of Hope unites all of us as One
The Magic of Friendship Lives On


Kyuubi Lilith grabbed and held weakened Applejack up for the moment. The cowgirl grunted and struggled as she tried to struck down her Mind Whiplash at her. The Chaos Herald of Lust screamed in anger as she thrown Applejack straight at the glass case of Twilight Sparkle's image. The cowgirl grunted in pain before fell and hit on the ground hard. But Applejack wasn't alone.

Both the rest of Mane Four and Dragon Strike Force were also defeated as well. The children and Tempest became scared and worried of what they saw. Their defeat is inevitable now.

Kyuubi Lilith approached to both defeated Shadow Dragon and Applejack. She spoke, "Are you done? Are you ready to surrender and renounce your love for me? I will spare you, my love."

Shadow Dragon snarled, "F#$& You, bitch!"

Applejack laughed, "Now that's funny."

Kyuubi Lilith growled, "You have tested me for the last time! Prepare for reeducation!"

BOOM! Everyone yelped in surprise and shock, feeling the ground quaking and shaking in the throne chamber like the Demon God has returned or not. Tempest and the children noticed something amiss. They looked down and found Twilight's corpse went missing. Something's happening.

Everyone turned and looked at the Dark Sacrificial Ritual mark as they noticed something amiss. The ritual mark is glowing in bright white light, instead of eerily dark glowing. Something's coming out from the ground. Suddenly, a white glowing silhouette emerged out from the ritual mark. She stood in midair before everyone.

The glowing slowly dimmed down, and revealed Twilight Rainbow Power. Everyone gasped in surprise and relief while Kyuubi Lilith was in shock and disbelief.

"Twilight!" Everyone shouted in surprise, relief and happiness.

"I-Impossible! H-How?!" Kyuubi Lilith demanded in disbelief.

And just before everyone could react, Twilight flew down straight at Kyuubi Lilith, who panicked by the surprise attack. Twilight quickly fired her Unicorn Burst, which hit her enemy's chest. She then grab the Staff of Sacanas and Orb of Lost Soul.

She screamed firmly and angrily as she slammed the Staff of Sacanas on the ritual mark, destroying and shattering the Orb of Lost Souls to pieces. Thus, it not only end the Dark Sacrificial Ritual to prevent the Demon God's return, but also freeing more than thousands of souls from the past and present from it. All the souls are now flowing across the Equestria.

Kyuubi Lilith screamed in shock, "Noooooooooooooo!"


At the Canterlot City, the Demon God's claw began to disappear, with his sound of roar slowly fading away. And at the same time, the strange purplish spiritual energy-like, dark clouds with lightning and raining also have dispersed and faded away as well. Not only that area, ritual marks across the Equestria also have same effects as Canterlot City has. The Dark Sacrificial Ritual has ceased its progress, and even exploded and injured the rest of Chaos Heralds and even some of Dark Mystic Ponies.

Both Mystic-Equestria Alliance and Storm Kingdom have ceased from suffocating, they then coughed yet breathed and panted heavily as they're recovering from the surprise spiritual attack. All of them including Shining Armor, Princess Cadance and their allies wondered of what's been going on around. They also wondered of how did Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force able to prevent the ritual in time.


Kyuubi Lilith screamed in fury before dropped her knees on the Dark Sacrificial Ritual Mark while gathering and keeping the shattered pieces of Orb close to her arms. Still holding the Staff of Sacanas, Twilight flew and returned to her friends and the children, who gave some loud cheers and hugged her happily and warmly. Tempest stood there to watch the event as she couldn't believe that Princess of Friendship has defied her fate and escaped her death as well.

"You're alright! Thank Celestia!" Applejack sniffled tearfully and happily, "I'm so happy that you're alive!"

Spike sniffled as well, "I knew nothing can hold you down."

"Thanks. But I didn't do it by myself," Twilight said calmly before looking at all of her friends and family, even spiritual forms of Iris and Midnight. She smiled, "I've had some help from my friends, my family and my boyfriend."

Lance scoffed before rubbed his muzzle a bit, "Glad to be there for you, mom."

"Yeah. You're the best, mummy," Nyx cheered happily.

"[Rainbow] You've said it, kiddo. You're so awesome! [Aqua] Way to go, Twilight! [Blazefist] That's some guts you've got there, princess! [Terrorcreep] I'm impressed. [Saber] Way to make the comeback, kid! [Fluttershy] We're so thankful that you make it out alive! [Rarity] Nothing couldn't be happier than you're here with us. [Shorty] Indeed. I never thought you could do such a thing! [Tailtech] So hard to believe that she can defied the Orb of Lost Soul. [Icy] I know it's incredible! [Pinkie cheered] Friendship is magic! Hooray! [Laxtinct laughed] You've said it, Pinkie! [Flare Tiger sighed] Glad that the prophecy didn't come true!"

Twilight smiled happily that everyone's happy to see her alive. She turned and looked at Shadow Dragon. He approached to give her a warm hug, making her to return it to him. They both then gave each other a passionate loving kiss on lips for the moment.

Departing from kiss, Shadow Dragon smiled, "Welcome back, Twilight."

Twilight sighed, "It's good to be back alive. Thanks to Iris and Midnight. I'm truly blessed with amazing and wondrous friends and family like you all. I'm so happy that we're back together."

"Happy?! Happy?!" Kyuubi Lilith demanded angrily. She turned and glared at Twilight and her friends, who readied themselves for the fight. She snarled while clenching the Orb of Lost Soul pieces, "How dare you get your stupid 'Happy Ending' when I'm around?! How dare you?! Have you humiliated me enough?!"

"Yeah, we dare. Bitch!" Twilight snapped amusingly and firmly, "After all these years, you'd never understand anything about friendship and love. You only know lust, obsession and control for yourself, after all."

"If you think you can kill her again, think again," Shadow Dragon said firmly as he stood on Twilight's side, "We got this together."

"YEAH!" Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force cheered wildly and happily.

Glowing in dark auras-like, Kyuubi Lilith screamed in anger, "I will tear you pieces, fools! Prepare to die!"

As Kyuubi Lilith screamed wildly and angrily, her dark auras have exploded and engulfed her whole body. She then began growing and transforming into a large beastly fox-like creature. Twilight and her friends knew where this was leading to.

"Everypony, are you ready for this?" Twilight asked firmly. Mane Five and Dragon Strike Force nodded and cheered firmly and determinedly. She then held and placed the Staff of Sacanas in front of her and her friends. She continued, "Everyone, hold onto the staff. Concentrate hard on it. Let the staff feel you, so it can channel and send all the Elements powers back to you all. It's time to go Rainbow Power!"

Everyone nodded firmly and confidently. All of her friends held on the Staff of Sacanas as they concentrated very hard on it. The staff sensed the users' concentration and spiritual. It then channeled and gave out all of the Elements of Harmony to the rightful users. As soon as Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force received all the powers spiritually. Feeling powers surging in their own bodies, they all bean their transformation.

The rest of Mane Five have received their won respective Rainbow Powers. Dragon Strike Force have their rainbow powers as well:

1) Shadow Dragon's black-greenish sharper spikier mane and tail has golden crimson and navy streaks, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful dragon and serpent symbols.
2) Blazefist's black blazing flame-like mane and tail has crimson, orange and yellow streaks, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful blazing fire symbols.
3) Saber's dark & lighter greenish long samurai ponytails in mane and tail, which has yellow, darker green and bright green streaks, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful dragon's head symbols.
4) Aqua's long flowing watery-like navy mane with brighter colors of indigo, light greenish and aquamarine, and her hooves were covered by her glittering colorful water symbols.
5) Shorty's lighter yet brighter red colored long combed-down mane and tail like leaf hairsytle has dark orange and brown streaks, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful light bulb symbols.
6) Terrorcreep's darker colored of blue-cyan thunder-like spikier mane and tail with turquoise streak added, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful bats symbols.
7) Laxtinct's brown mane and tail became armored yet large afro-style with streaks of light brown and dark green, and his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful hardened stone symbols.
8) Tailtech's crimson-orange spiky mane and tail became more armored and sharper straight, his hooves were covered by his glittering colorful wrench symbols.
9) Icy's blond mane sprouted twin braided style with streaks of icy white and pink colors, and her hooves were covered by his glittering colorful snowflake symbols.

Both Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force have the Rainbow Powers now while Flare Tiger doesn't as she relied on her Time-Space Magic to help and fight. Twilight threw the Staff of Sacanas to Tempest to hold and kept it close to her. They are now ready to face Chaos Herald of Lust. As soon as the blackish glowing mist dispersed, Kyuubi Lilith is no longer humanoid fox-like dark goddess but was replaced by a giant demonically white-black fox with nine tails with red markings on her face worn blackish-reddish demonic armor. She snarled at them.

While the children awed in amazement and surprise at the battlefield, Tempest was too impressed and shocked of what she's seeing.

"Are you ready to die, fools?!" Kyuubi Lilith asked darkly.

"No. We will not die," Twilight said firmly, "We'll stop and defeat you, Kyuubi! We'll win and save our home!"

Shadow Dragon nodded, "Get ready for some beatdown, bitch!"

[New Divide - Part 1]

Kyuubi Lilith roared angrily as she punched at Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force. They quickly split up at once to evade the attack. While arming and readying with their weapons, they then surrounded the monster, which was growling and snarling at them.

Rainbow made her first move as she charged and moved in high speed while swinging and striking down her Mystic Magical Spear around her body. Blazefist and Aqua joined in as they fired and unleashed their Firestorm Phoenix and Hydro Cannon, which burnt her alive. Saber screamed wildly and angrily as he created and unleashed Air Raid in ramming and knocking her around the wall. Laxtinct and Applejack charged before jumped up high to launch their very powerful punch at her, pushing her back. Shorty quickly summoned Vine Whips to hold her down.

With Kyuubi Lilith held captive, Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force charged and engaged her at once. However, unbeknownst to them, the demonically nine-tailed fox smirked sinisterly and cunningly as she planned this to happen.

[Powerless - Part 2]

As Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force were about to strike her down, Kyuubi Lilith unleashed her Song of Death, which unleash powerful sound wave in repelling and injuring the heroes' ears. And at the same time, she summoned and unleashed her powerful Dark Lightning Magic. All of them got shocked and electrocuted by the attacks. They also got hit and struck down by large tails. They struggled to get up and recover from her continuous multiple attacks.

And to their shock, Kyuubi Lilith was channeling her energy within, preparing to launch another attack with 'Song of Death'.

[New Divide- Part 2]

Luckily, Terrorcreep grunted in pain as he quickly activated and unleashed Thunderstorm on Kyuubi Lilith. She got hit badly by the attacks, halting her multiple attacks on him and his allies. This give Fluttershy time and chance to activate her Healing Powers on her friends at full recovery and full powers.

Saber quickly unleashed and fired Wind Storm to blow her away. Icy fired her Ice Beams in freezing her up, followed by Pinkie's exploding confetti grenades, Tailtech's Spike Grenades and Shorty's Chestnut Grenades. They have injured her badly. Twilight and Shadow Dragon unleashed and fired their full-powered Sparkling Star Blast and Chaos Hyper Blast in repelling her back.

Kyuubi Lilith roared angrily as she fired Curse Spell, which weakened and damaged Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force. She then fired her powerful Dark Magic Beam, blasting and shooting at them. Luckily, Rarity, Laxtinct and Icy quickly summoned and combined their powers of Diamond Barrier, Fortress Wall and Walls of Ice, powered by Tailtech's Upgrade. It gave powerful strong defense to hold off the attack.

Unfortunately, their defense is breaking apart as Kyuubi Lilith continued pouring her Dark Magic Beam at the ponies. Luckily, Flare Tiger teleported herself, Pinkie and Fluttershy to the back of the demonically fox-like. Fluttershy called out all kinds of birds to attack and distract the Chaos Herald for the moment, allowing Pinkie and Flare Tiger to throw their Confetti Grenades and Time Grenades, which sped up and exploded her even more. This allowed Blazefist to unleash his powerful Megastorm Phoenix Blaze at Kyuubi Lilith, burning her alive.

[Powerless - Part 3]

As Blazefist continued firing his Megastorm Phoenix Blaze on Kyuubi Lilith, unknown to him, there was a clone of her appeared from behind him and his friends. She then fired and unleashed her Howling Storm, in blowing them straight at the balcony. They all barely held on the balcony's bars while trying to get back in but the wind was too strong to blow them away.

Luckily, Saber and Terrorcreep combined and unleashed the power of Windstorm and Thunderstorm for pushing the attack back. Rarity joined in as she fired and pushed and rammed her Diamond Barrier straight at Kyuubi Lilith's face. Shorty, Tailtech and Icy fired their Solar Beam, Metallic Bullets and Frozen Shards at her. Aqua used Surf to charged to gave a powerful body slam on her before clawing her Tiger Claws with Tsunami Blade and Ice Punch at her face. Rainbow and Applejack also joined in as they gave quick, swift and strong punches at her.

This annoyed and irritated Kyuubi Lilith a lot as she unleashed her powerful Demon Repel Force, repelling and pushing her enemies off. She then has her tails to grab and coil Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force, beginning to strangle them alive. She was about to unleashed her powerful Dark Magic Beam on them, realizing that they have nowhere to escape.

[New Divide- Part 4]

Flare Tiger quickly activated and used Time Stop Spell on Kyuubi Lilith's attack, allowing and giving more time for her team to strike back. Shorty, Tailtech and Rarity fired their blasters at the Chaos Heralds' faces. Twilight and Shadow Dragon to unleash and fire both Nightmare and Dream Empowerment to blast off the attacks and also hit her face. This allowed Aqua, Laxtinct, Applejack and even Fluttershy (with her Bear and Elephant Strength) to break themselves free before they could crushed and injured her tails.

Kyuubi Lilith screamed in pain, feeling her face burnt and tails wounded. Blazefist and Terrorcreep unleashed both Fireball Shots and Thunder Balls on her legs. Activating Zen Air Slashes and Wind Blade, Saber charged and unleashing multiple slashes on the demonic giant fox's legs. Rainbow also joined the attack as well in high speed as well. Laxtinct stomped on the ground, unleashing Earthquake to shake off the Chaos Herald. Shadow Dragon unleashed his powerful Darkness Oblivion Beam in pushing back her off. She got hit on the door very hard, before falling and dropping on the ground hard.

Seeing Kyuubi Lilith lying down on the ground, Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force charged and attacked her at once. They have to kill her at once before she gets up. Unfortunately, the Chaos Herald unleashed her powerful Howling Storm to repel them, followed by firing her Evil Fox Spirits flying and firing their blazing fire balls at them. They dodged and evaded the attacks for few times. She then unleashed and fired her Song of Death to halt and knock them off.

Kyuubi Lilith approached to Twilight, who just weakened by the attack. She snarled and growled at her as she was prepared to finish the princess off. Luckily, Applejack jumped and kicked her by the face before used her Mind Whiplash to lassoed around her neck, bringing the giant demon fox down. Laxtinct jumped up and gave a powerful body slam on her guts. Saber and Aqua used Air Choke and Water Drown in strangling and choking the Chaos Herald. Blazefist and Rainbow flew and spun themselves around and around, creating powerful Flame Tornado Spear to struck down and piercing through her chest.

Using her Illusion Spell, Kyuubi Lilith managed to escape. She then used Healing Spell to heal herself. She then howled out loud, summoning her Harpy Minions to jump and attack Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force at once. As her minions are exhausting and tiring the heroes out, Kyuubi Lilith unleashed her Curse Spell to weaken their strength.

With Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force held down by Harpy Minions, Kyuubi Lilith's tail quickly and swiftly grabbed and coiled Twilight up. Placing her close to her, Kyuubi Lilith snarled and growled at Twilight, who struggled to move and get out from the tail. She opened her jaws as she was preparing to take a big bite on her. The rest of her friends were alerted by it but struggled and distracted to defeat the enemy troops.

And just before Kyuubi Lilith could do it, the children charged and jumped on the fox creature. They then pulled both of her fur and ear, making her yelped in pain wile galloping wildly and crazily. And at the same time, the children struck down their swords, injuring her head further more. This forced her to drop Twilight to the ground hard.

Seeing her friends' in trouble, Twilight quickly unleashed and fired her powerful Rainbow Hope Blast in blasting and killing all of Harpy Minions. Fluttershy used her Healing Spell to heal her friends at full recovery for the next fight.

"She's tough," Rainbow said in concern.

Aqua grunted, "No kidding. At this rate, we won't able to defeat her."

"We're not giving up the fight," Blazefist said firmly, "We have to keep on fighting. Everyone including our families depending on us."

"He's right. Gotta keep fighting," Applejack agreed, "Twilight, any idea?"

"One..." Twilight said firmly, "We have to use our secret weapon. It's the only one that can defeat and kill her for good."

Shadow Dragon understood what she means. He gave his brave looks, "Let's do this. We need to channel all of ours powers and strength to take that demon down!"

"YEAH!" Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force cheered wildly and firmly.

[Powerless - Part 5]

The children continued attacking and injuring Kyuubi Lilith while riding her to gallop out wildly and crazily. This irritated and annoyed her a lot to swing and struck her tails, knocking and throwing the children off from her head.

And just before she could finish off the children, Tempest jumped in front of them. She then unleashed and fired her powerful Thunderstorm Power Beam at Kyuubi Lilith, who just prepared and fired her Fox Demon Spiritual Beam. Both of them have powerful beams clashing and pushing each other for the moment.

[New Divide - Part 5]

Kyuubi Lilith's Demon Magic Beam is pushing back Tempest's Thunderstorm Power Beam as it was about to finish off her and the children. Luckily, Flare Tiger used Time Spell to halt the time. She then came to their aid by teleporting and moving them to safe distance. With them safe from danger, Flare Tiger deactivated the Time Spell, making Kyuubi Lilith's attack missed.

And just before Kyuubi Lilith could finish her enemies off, she noticed something amiss. She turned and looked back, where she found both Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force are channeling and combining their spiritual powers into one. And just she could do anything, they all fired powerful rainbow colored laser cannon beams-like United Friendship Rainbow Power at her. Kyuubi Lilith fired her Demon Magic Beam back at them.

Both United Friendship Rainbow Power and Demon Magic Beam have clashed while trying to breakthrough for the moment. Both sides are equal. Filled with determination and also thinking of everyone else, Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force gave the loud battle cry, increasing their power attacks to push off and broke through Demon Magic Beam.

And just Kyuubi Lilith could do anything, the United Friendship Rainbow Power have hit Chaos Herald of Lust's chest, making her scream in pain. While screaming, Kyuubi Lilith's beast form began to have cracks on her body as they're breaking apart. It then unleashed powerful explosion, causing everyone blind for the moment. Thus, ending the battle...

As soon as the light dispersed, Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force stood in midair before the defeated and weakened form of Kyuubi Lilith lying down on the ground. They slowly descended on the ground while looking at the scene of her defeat. Both Tempest and children approached to their friends from behind.

"Is it really over?" Spike asked.

Nyx nodded, "Is she dead?"

"I don't know, but I do know that we have won and save our both worlds." Twilight admitted calmly and firmly. She groaned a bit as she shown to weak and tired eyes, "It's... It's over... We've stop her..."

As Twilight was falling down, all of her friends and children were gasped and alerted of it. Shadow Dragon was the first pony to grab and hold on the Alicorn in his hooves. They all surrounded and looked at her in concern and fear that there's something wrong with her.

"TWILIGHT! DON'T DIE AGAIN!"

To be Concluded...
