//------------------------------// // Good vs Evil: Part 4 // Story: Spike the Fairy // by PonyJoel //------------------------------// The guard clone and Pinkie locates Freed Justine and the Thunder Legion. Romeo is getting tired from fighting the endless wave of Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "These things just keep coming," Romeo falls to one knee while catching his breath. "Hey!" Pinkie shouts to catch their attention. "It's that pink pony," Bickslow said. "I know how we can end the swarm of soldiers. We need you, Freed!" Pinkie exclaims. "We're coming as well," The rest of the Thunder Legion and Romeo said. The guard clone snaps his claw, and they're on his back. Pinkie Pie tells the guard clone where the Mirror Pool is. The guard clone flies as Pinkie directs him. Many Techno-Magic-Soldiers fly after the guard clone. "We got company!" Romeo warns his friends. "Stand aside!" Pinkie moves her party cannon and shoots cannonballs at the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. To the surprise of the Thunder Legion and Romeo, Pinkie has an infinite supply of cannonballs. Princess Celestia tells her guard clones to protect the library at all costs. She's going to the forest where the Mirror Pool is. Princess Celestia teleports and locates where the Techno-Magic-Soldiers are coming out. Shining Armor, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack are helping the medical clones to bring in every creature the Techno-Magic-Soldiers wounded. They're at the center of the Crystal Castle. Dragons, Griffons, and some Changelings lost a wing during the confrontation. The medical clones are restoring any lost limb during the battle. "These things are too much," Applejack said. She watches Kagura and Lyon battling the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "I know," Rainbow flexes her new wing now that the medical clone finishes tending to her. "That feels so much better. These things keep coming. How did Twilight produce so much in so little time?" "Pinkie Pie solved that equation. They're coming from the Mirror Pool," A medical clone said. "That's bad," Rainbow recalls Pinkie using it and having to deal with a swarm of Pinkies. "It's worse that we are no-matched for those soldiers of hers," Ember said. "Yak hates demon!" Prince Rutherford refers to Midnight Sparkle. "I know how you feel. We have to remain strong and do our part in protecting the Crystal Heart. No matter the cost," Thorax said. A medical clone repairs his broken horn. Lisanna and Elfman arrive at the center. They see many medical clones and ask for assistance; one comes and sees Terax. He uses his chaos magic to restore his wings and remove the scar. However, Terax remains asleep. Lisanna and Elfman decide to stand guard of the Crystal Heart. Chrysalis gets up and sees a wave of Techno-Magic-Soldiers, and Erza destroys them in her Purgatory Armor. "Are you alright?" Erza helps Chrysalis up. "I'll be fine. Midnight Sparkle will die for what she did to my son," Chrysalis takes off. Erza hopes Spike is okay now that he's back in the fight. Another wave of Techno-Magic-Soldiers are inbound but, Pisces destroys them. Yukino, Lucy, and Juvia runs up to Erza. "How are you holding?" Lucy asks Erza. "I'm fine. I'm concerned about Spike now that's he's back in action," Erza replies. "That's great to hear. Did the medical clones restore Spike's wings?" Juvia asks. "No," Erza shakes her head. "Spike made his wings like the time Leekips did during his battle." "Let's go find, Spike. He shouldn't be facing Midnight alone!" Yukino said. Erza nods. "You're right." Another wave of Techno-Magic-Soldiers comes from all corners. Gray, Orga, Rufus, Sting, and Rogue destroy them. "You need to watch out. These soldiers are everywhere and keep coming," Gray said. "If only there's a way to shut them down," Orga wants the infinite wave to stop coming. "An opportunity will present itself. Until then, we keep fighting," Sting said. "Shadow Dragon Rooooooooooar!" Rogue unleashes his shadow breath attack on the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "Spread out! When you have an opportunity, find Spike and help him defeat Midnight Sparkle!" Erza commands. "Yes, Ma'am!" Everyone else around Erza shouts and attacks the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. The guard clone lands in the forest. Pinkie, Romeo, and the Thunder Legion hop off; they see Princess Celestia walking near them. "Glad you can make it," Princess Celestia is happy to see the Thunder Legion and Romeo. "Follow me," Pinkie gallops. Everyone follows her closely. A few minutes later. Pinkie stops and sees many Techno-Magic-Soldiers rising from the hole. "That's a whole lot," Freed said. "Don't worry, I have a plan," Pinkie Pie twists the top of her mane and converts it into a drill. She tunnels on the ground, leading to the cave of the mirror pool." "That is quite impressive," Freed said. "This pink pony is weird," Bickslow said. "I guess she has many perks within the world," Evergreen said. "Let's stop wasting time and get down there," Laxus jumps into the hole Pinkie dug. Everyone else jumps in the hole. Pinkie Pie sees the original Techno-Magic-Soldier reciting the enchantment and entering the mirror pool. Princess Celestia, Romeo, and the Thunder Legion arrive and see how the Techno-Magic-Soldiers cloned. "Stepping in that creates clones?" Romeo whispers to Pinkie. "Yea. Twilight used her magic to zap the clones into the mirror pool. However, I don't think going at it one at a time will help in this scenario," Pinkie whispers back. "There is another way to get rid of the clones," Princess Celestia whispers. "What's the plan?" Laxus whispers to Princess Celestia. "We need to destroy the original. Then, we grab the original, have it facing the pool and say: Into the pool, we stare. No longer yearning for the reflection to be shared. Removing this swear to relinquish the prospect's pair. After reciting the chant, throw the original into the mirror pool. It'll erase all other clones the mirror pool created." "Perfect," Bickslow is ready to end the infinite wave. "Freed, once we're done, I'll need your magic power to create a barrier enchantment so no one will ever use the mirror pool again." "I understand the task at hand," Freed concentrates on his magic power. "Everyone else, attack!" Princess Celestia leads the charge and destroys many Techno-Magic-Soldiers that come her way. She melts the Techno-Magic-Soldiers with her magic. Pinkie Pie uses her party cannon to take out many Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "Lightning Dragon Rooooooar!" Laxus unleashes his lightning breath attack on the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "Baryon Formation!" Bickslow's Tikis shoots a magic energy beam at the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. "Fairy Machine Gun Leprechaun!" Evergreen shoots a torrent of energy needles at the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. Romeo goes for the original while the others battle the new wave of Techno-Magic-Soldiers. The original comes out and scans Romeo. It creates a shield to repel his flame magic and kicks him hard. "Dark Écriture Absolute Shadow!" Freed uses his swift speeds and immense strength to take down the original Techno-Magic-Soldier. With the original out of commission, no more Techno-Magic-Soldiers rise from the mirror pool. The number of Techno-Magic-Soldiers starts decreasing within the mirror pool cave. "Good work, Freed!" Romeo throws the thumbs up while holding his side. The kick from the Techno-Magic-Soldier did a number on him. Pinkie Pie grabs the original Techno-Magic-Soldier and has it face the reflection of the mirror pool. "Into the pool, we stare. No longer yearning for the reflection to be shared. Removing this swear to relinquish the prospect's pair!" Pinkie shoves the original Techno-Magic-Soldier into the mirror pool. The mirror pool illuminates and shoots a magic energy beam into the skies. At the Crystal Empire, every Earth Land Wizard starts to tire from battling the Techno-Magic-Soldiers. Then, every creature by the Crystal Castle sees the skies light up. Stars raining down on the Techno-Magic-Soldiers vaporize right before their very own eyes. "What's happening?" Kagura questions the Techno-Magic-Soldiers and sees them vaporized. "It appears luck is on our side, Ms.Kagura," Jura said. Many Techno-Magic-Soldiers on the ground fall and disintegrate. "They did it!" Princess Luna sees a Techno-Magic-Soldier disintegrate before getting close to the Crystal Heart. The two guard clones were battling the Techno-Magic-Soldiers when it came from the rear. "You hear that, Wendy?" Sherria asks. "Yes," Wendy nods. "Now, with them out of the way," Wendy starts sniffing. "I'm needed elsewhere!" Wendy takes off. "Hey! I'm coming with you!" Sherria catches up to Wendy. "Freed, let's combine our power to prevent any usage of the mirror pool!" Princess Celestia ignites her horn. "Right away, Celestia," Freed uses his sword to create a barrier and recite an enchantment of his. The runes of Freed's enchantment cover the mirror pool. Princess Celestia uses a protection barrier spell on top of the runes. A bright yellowish-purple glow arises. The two successfully created a barrier that the magic of their worlds would not penetrate, even combined. "We need to get back," Laxus said. "There is one demon remaining to end the conflict." The guard clone slithers down into the cave after defeating a handful of Techno-Magic-Soldiers. He has some scrapes and bruises from his encounter. "I need to go back to Canterlot. In case Midnight escapes and uses the library for her benefit." "I'll take them back," The guard clone says. He snaps his claw, teleporting the Thunder Legion, Pinkie, and Romeo back to the Crystal Empire. "Good luck," Princess Celestia leaves the mirror pool caves.
