The Dream Eater had now shown itself. It looked like a giant shadow and almost looked like it had three heads. Or at least it looks like it does. All you could see of his face were glowing eyes and a sinister smile. Shine Boy and Chet walked up in front while Twilight stood before Principal Celestia while Spike cowered behind Twilight’s leg.
“So you are the ones who dare entered my realm!” The Dream Eater said in a loud booming voice.
“You kidnapped my principal! It was personal!” Twilight shouted, trying to act brave.
“A teenager acting tough. I see not much has changed in the past few centuries!”
“She doesn’t act tough! We ARE tough!” Shine Boy cried.
“And we are going to teach you a lesson” Chet added.
“The moment that woman touched the doorway, the seal was gone! So in return I offer her an opportunity to rule by my side in a world of darkness.
“Sorry. You’re not my type.” Celestia said sternly.
“THAT WASNT A CHOICE!”
“Not good at rejection, are you?” Shine Boy said, rolling his eyes. “Look, me and the Gecko here made a promise to our friend there that we would save her principal back or die trying and we are not in the mood for dying or breaking that promise!”
“I can arrange that!”
Chet drew his swords out with a stern look on his face. “It is time for you to face the light. Prepare to fall by my blades, Demon!”
Shine Boy drew his staff out. “LETS SHINE!”
Shine Boy and Chet charged at the Dream Eater and started to fight him. Though the Dream Eater was more than a match for both of them, the two weren’t backing down. As he started to punch the demon, Shine Boys hands started to glow and proved to be hurting the being. Chet was able to do some damage as well with his magic blades. But the Dream Eater then punch both of them at the same time and then he punched them again in the back before they could recover, sending them flying into a wall. As the Dream Eater turned his attention on Twilight and Celestia, Twilight quickly used her geode Power to smack giant rubble in the entity’s face, disorientating it. This caused enough time for Shine Boy to pull out his grappling gun and fire a cable that wrapped around the Dream Eater.
“You are a fool to think this will hold me!” The Dream Eater chuckled.
“Oh it’ll more than hold you!” Shine Boy stated. He pushed a button that caused electricity to run through the cable, shocking the entity. While still being shocked, the Dream Eater was able to grab the cable and pull on it, causing Shine Boy to be thrown at a wall.
Shine Boy was able to shake it off as he got up and grabbed his staff. As he charged at it, the Dream Eater fired a beam at him, causing him to stop and use his staff to deflect it.
Chet was able to get back up and jumped at the Dream Eater, striking with his swords.
“ENOUGH!” The Dream Eater shouted, causing giant tendrils to merge from his body, each one pinning everybody to the ground and causing Shine Boy and Chet to drop their weapons.
“You are both strong, like your predecessors, warriors of light,” The Dream Eater stated. “But just like them, you’re efforts were in vain! After I finish you off, I will extinguish every once of light in your world until only darkness remains!” The Dream Eater then turned to Principal Celestia. “And you will be my side wether you like it or not!”
All Celestia could do is struggle effortlessly with tears in her eyes. It’s just like my dream, she thought.
“I think I’ll finish you off first, Gecko!” The Dream Eater said while picking up one of Chet’s katana blades. “By my hand! By your weapon!”
“NO!” Shine Boy cried, struggling.
“CHET!” Twilight shouted, unable to use her geode.
The Dream Eater had Chet in his sight as he held the geckos blade in his sights. Then as the blade came down, all Chet could do was close his eyes and ready himself for the stab.
Forgive me, mother and father, I have failed, he thought.
DING!
Chet opened his eyes to see the blade touching his chest, but not piercing him. Shocking everyone, the Dream Eater tried stabbing Chet again, but no matter how hard he tried, the blade wouldn’t stab it’s owner. Chet took the opportunity and broke free from it’s grip, grabbing his sword again.
“How? HOW!” The Dream Eater demanded.
Chet smiled. “Even I had forgotten that my father's blades were forged in purity and strength. They can only be used for good! In the hands of evil, they can never harm an innocent! So, Demon, they cannot harm me, OR my friends, but they can harm YOU!”
The Dream Eater screamed as Chet used his blades to free Shine Boy. “I’ll free Twilight and Spike. You free Celestia.”
“You got it.”
Chet and Shine Boy both continued their assault on the Dream Eater as they freed the others. Angered, the Dream Eater fired lasers from his eyes at Chet. After freeing Celestia, Shine Boy saw this and ran to his friends aid.
“Chet! Look out!”
Shine Boy was able to push Chet out of the way only to get caught in the blast. The others could only watch in horror as the beams shot Shine Boy into the wall and buried him in the rubble.
“SHINE BOY!” They all cried.
Angered, Twilight started to levitate some of the rubble and fired them at the entity. While Celestia and spike tried to find their friend, Chet started to slash at the Dream Eater, also angered. After dealing with many blows, the Dream Eater then swatted the two away and prepared to fire again.
“I may not be able to use your blade, but I can still destroy you, Gecko!”
Unknown to them but to Celestia and spike, the pile that buried Shine Boy was starting to shake and a light underneath it began to glow. The Dream Eater was ready to fire again.
“Let’s see your friend save you now!”
Suddenly, the rubble was removed and a beam of light was fired at the Dream Eater, damaging it. Everyone looked to their surprise to see Shine Boy alive, and glowing, firing the beam from his insignia and marching towards the Dream Eater.
So you had an ace up your sleeve, Chet thought as he smirked.
Shine Boy, still radiating bright, then stood before the Dream Eater, ready to fire another beam. As his insignia grew bright, He first turned to Twilight and nodded his head to tell her to get back.
“Thanks” She whispered as she ran to her principal and her dog.
Dream Eater charged his beam and fired at the hero.
“SHINE POWER!” Shine Boy declared as he fired again. Soon the two beams collided with each other as everyone watched.
That’s not gonna be enough, Chet thought. He saw a little bit of a balcony and got an idea and started to climb the wall.
Shine Boy was giving everything he got. But the entity was able to overpower him and Shine Boy was sent flying back and on the floor.
“Your trump card. And it failed you in the end.” The Dream Eater chuckled.
Shine Boy struggled to get up. As he faced the Dream Eater, noticed Chet on the balcony, ready to jump.
“Maybe I couldn’t beat you!” Shine Boy declared.
The Dream Eater wondered what he meant by that when-
SLASH!
The Dream Eater could grimace in pain as he saw a giant slash on him and it cut right through him. He could only looked to see Chet sheathed his blade.
“You held a woman against her will. You tried to kill me by my blade. You hurt my friend. You will never hurt anyone or anything ever again.”
After hearing that, the Dream Eater began to fall apart while screaming in pain. As it did, the whole place began to crumble apart.
“I think that’s our cue.” Shine Boy said. And so they all hurried to the spot where the portal was and thankfully the portal was still there.
“Hurry! You all go first!” Shine Boy told the others.
Twilight grabbed Spike and jumped in, followed by Celestia and Chet. As Shine Boy was about to enter, the floor started to collapse underneath him, causing him to almost miss the portal. But luckily, he got through just in time.
