I awoke in a darkened forest, l look around as I stand up, I begin to walk forward, hearing whispers all around me, I stopped in front of a ruined castle. I stepped forward but I then heard a familiar voice.
"Your sacrifice was paved with blood and violence, I'm not sure what happened to you, but with how things have been going this is the only chance Equestria has for peace.", Twilight said, stepping out from the shadows.
I turn and my eyes widen as I see her aiming her own blade towards me. "Twilight? What are you doing?"
She stared back, "Protecting Equestria, it's my duty, my honor."
I felt a sharp pain from behind and it's then I woke up with a shiver down my spine. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom, as I washed my face I felt a dark presence, I spun around and saw it. Glaring at me from the dark was myself, but bruised and scarred, it looked off as well, it had very different clothes, a sweater with cuffs and a tie, the socks weren't striped and it was missing my hat, the one I had had since the beginning.
I watched as this clone of me stepped forward. We stared at each other for a bit, both of us waiting for either one of us to make a move.
"You know those visions always come true, it doesn't matter what you do to prevent it, they become your fate.", The clone said, sitting down on the bed.
"Or maybe you didn't try hard enough.", I said walking forward and sitting on the opposite side of my bed.
It scooted over and sat next to me.
"You know what I am, deep down you know exactly what I am.", It said, looking over at me. "You just don't want to remember."
"There's nothing to remember.", I said, looking back at it with a glare.
"Then I have no other option.", It said.
It suddenly grabbed me by the neck, lifting me up and placing it's other hand on my forehead. I struggled to escape but I began to see something. It was the rest of my dream, my vision, Luna had snuck behind me and stabbed me through the back. I couldn't help and the scene before me, all I felt was betrayal, pain, but it got worse, Twilight had used a spell to banish me, similar to how Nightmare Moon was banished.
"This is your fate, your death!", It shouted.
"Get out of head! you will not break me with such lies!", I said through my tears. I burst my power causing me and the clone to exit my mind. I stand up and ready myself to draw my sword, it's then that it teleports and as I rush outside I see my clone again, this time standing with his own sword.
"Those visions of your own design! which in turn this fake me you've conjured is also by your design, show me your true form!", I said, determined to end this threat.
"If you insist.", The clone said before the disguise melted and standing there was a pony but, not exactly, it had features of a normal pony but it had arms and legs like mine, it had a horn and wings.
I step back a little, "What?, This shouldn't be possible!"
"But it is, thanks to the countless timelines and dimensions of course.", She had said, walking around me slowly, "You may have originally thought time and space was, inflexible, unable to be changed without a massive amount of power, well sadly it's a mere theory that has now been disproven."
"Who are you?!", I yelled out, getting tired of this useless banter.
She put her hood down, revealing the face beneath, "You may call me, Nightshine Glimmer, and with this introduction out of the way, I shall end you!"
"As if I'd lose to someone like you!", I yelled, turning Super Fox 2 and drawing my sword.
Before charging I hear Luna, Twilight and her friends talking as they approach, I look back at them, "Stay back! I've got this!"
I charge forward, swiftly placing my sword back into it's sheath and launching a punch at Nightshine Glimmer, the punch connects, sending her flying backwards, and as she stops herself I teleport and knee her in the stomach, stunning her. I move back and begin charging up an attack.
Nightshine Glimmer then throws out an attack of her own, catching me off guard and I'm hit with it, being launched back I feel a pain on my back, she kneed me in the back and as I fall to the ground I hear everyone on the sideline begin to panic.
"Pathetic, you can't even handle a fraction of Odysseus' powers, he only gave me a small boost and you're already done for.", Nightshine said standing above Minxy.
"I'm not done yet.", I said angrily, this isn't how it was supposed to go, I had gotten so much stronger and now I'm losing to someone like her. I had to risk it, using a technique that Luna and Celestia had taught me, absorbing some reserve power from the moon or sun depending on the time, I reached my arm up beginning the technique, it would take a massive toll on my body, it's used to increase my speed, power and senses but it takes pure rage to use the moons powers and pure calm to use the suns.
I began to think about what was at stake here, I began to become angry, not just at Nightshine but at myself, and it was enough. Powering up while in Super Fox 2 was the biggest risk I could take but I needed to win. Nightshine Glimmer stepped back in surprise and as I stood up I charged an attack.
"Nova Star Attack!", I shout as I launch a beam towards Nightshine Glimmer, pushing myself more and more I begin to overcome her, I give a final shout as she begins to practically disintegrate. I fall onto my back, reverting to my normal state, breathing heavily I slowly lose consciousness.
