I take a deep breath before opening my eyes. My eyes radiate a pure white glow as well as the aura I release. I hover over the center of the chamber, gleaming like a bright beacon that illuminates everything around me. The energy I feel now deep within my body keeps me calm and I fear nothing now. Not even the foe that I face now, even knowing their formidable power. Besides, it's not like their power can do anything to me now. Their power hurt my friends and because of such, I am now angry.

"Wh-What is this Power?!" says the frightened foe and to which I reply with.

"A power far beyond what you can even begin to comprehend," My voice firmly resonates around us.

The foe grits their teeth for a brief moment. They then shout up at me. "This.... This is inconceivable... How?! ... How could such power fall into the hooves of the LIKES OF YOU?!" They say in a voice that almost sounds like they're going to cry. I'm finally noticing how stupid they look when they're angry. Anyways, I say to them.

"Because I'm good and you're evil... Do the math"

They gaze up at me angrily, struggling to maintain their stance as the weight of my light causes them to waver immensely. Meanwhile my body maintains a steady posture, filled with said light gifted to me that I was apparently destined with. Deep within myself I feel this absolute power envelope my now pure white soul. Out of everypony this power could have chose, it chose me. However, there's no time for questioning why this all happened. Doing so would be a waste of time when I have a great threat standing before me. I take a moment to gaze around the cave and see my fallen friends. One of which still having the fighting spirit to try to get up to assist me, but I look at them in a way that asks them to stay down and leave the rest to me. My eyes turn back to return the gaze to the foe.

"Hrgh ... You ... You are UNWORTHY OF HAVING SUCH POWER!" The foe shouts. They muster up the strength to steady themselves once more.

"Grgh! YOU FALL HERE!"

The foe before us lunges up towards me swiftly. This is their last effort to bring me down. Right then, as they proceed to fight me head on, everything began to slow down as if time itself had decided to take a moment to slow down and catch its breath. As if time could be a living being, but then again, after everything we've experience that lead us here, anything is possible. Our time together has only furthered that to be true.

Baring the valiant efforts and even brave sacrifices my friends made along the way to get us to this very moment, I know one thing for certain. This force will pay for what it did to you all. No pony deserves to suffer the way you all did for me. I only wish I was stronger before to stop you guys from getting hurt. It pains me to see you all like this and it is why I got to put an end to this disharmony. Now that I'm strong enough to end this I must choose my next moves carefully since I am not well acquainted with this power just yet. Even still, I will be once all of this comes to an end. My eyes gaze sharply at the foe before me, watching them with a gaze of piercing focus unlike any I've ever had before. They rush towards me, slowly getting closer. I steadily tense myself to prepare to fight for Equestria one more time. Here I stand in the face of danger yet again. Ready and willing to tackle it all once more. My mind is clear and my resolve shines brighter than Celestia's burning sun. Everything before me is clear to me now. I know what I must do. The foe I face stands in the dark where as I'm in the light and I refuse to stop until all is said and done. Here I stand in a body I can't control and yet I have complete control. My Spirit will never falter to the likes of beings like you. You will be saved, sure, but first...

"I'm Going To Punch You In The Face..."

[And so the clash of light and darkness begins once more. The Final Showdown That Decides The Fate Of Equestria. It is up to one with the spirit and will power to fulfill their destiny and become what they were meant to be. One more fight to protect all that is close to them. This is where it all may end, but where it all begins...]

Is Right Here...
