The entire town of Ponyville, both ghoul and pony, stared wide-eyed up at a two story tall Prince Blackblood, now sitting in the center of the graveyard. Each one of his eyes was fixated upon every living... or formally living entity, looking like a hunting lion's would when staring down at pray.
"Hahahaha! First, I'll start with this crappy little bumbuck town, roll over the country side, and then swallow the gods of this land whole!" he cackled.
"Princess Celestia would never let you do that, you- you... whatever you are!" Applejack cried, twirling about (at a safe distance) to face the beast of null with a snarl.
Blackblood merely scoffed. "See, you have no idea what you're even dealing with! How can you hope to defeat such pure, unleaded mystery?!"
"OK, that's enough," Spike the bone dragon finally growled, hovering before the beast, his red eyes glaring. "Here I was, trying to have a nice Nightmare Night; was just going to chill with Twilight, scare a few ponies, then go back to sleep. But nooooo, you are your pure, unleaded douchery just had to mess that all up!"
"Easy, Spike!" Soulshard cried. "He's right... noghoul knows much about him. I actually only have about two books on creatures from Null Space.”
"Whelp, I see bout' fifty weak spots," Spike said, gazing at the beast's multiple eyes.
"HAHAHAHA! Oh this is good! What are you going to do? Claw my eyes out?!"
"Really did your homework for this, haven't you?" Spike said blankly. "Time to turn up the heat! Beeya!"
At that, a loud whirring sound could be heard, green energy beginning to twirl out of the ground and into the tiny dragon. Soon enough, 'tiny' wouldn't become an accurate description for the lizard. He began to expand in size, the one foot long meek looking creature quickly becoming a fifty foot long beast of the night, green mist swirling around his rustic features.
As ponies and ghouls alike looked up at him in awe, Blackblood began to back away from him... slowly.
"Alright, Blackblood, last chance to surrender...” Spike called, before squinting an eyebrow. “And... you're probably not going to take it, are you?"
"Genre savvy! Looks like you taught him well, other Twilight," Pinkie Pie beamed.
"Heh, actually works different in my dimension. I don't actually teach him anything," Soulshard simpered.
"Spikey... Spikey," Blackblood said nervously. "How about a little heart to heart, freak to freak?" He then simpered. "Don't you see? With our powers combined, we could rule both pathetic rocks together! You could have all the gems or whatever it is you want!"
Spike brought claw to his chin. "Mmmmm... tempting offer. I mean, I definitely seem like the kind of dragon who wants power, don't I?"
Blackblood gave a quick nod.
"And gems... man I sure do love gems..."
Blackblood's mouths began grinning.
"I knew you'd like the offer!"
"Uhhh... other Spike, what are you doing?" the real Spike said.
"Well, he makes a convincing offer. I mean, if I take over the world... or worlds, I guess, noghoul will bother me when I sleep anymore! No more annoyances... no more 'Spike, open the portal,' 'Spike, close the portal', I have such a hard life..."
"That you do, Spike, that you do," Blackblood nodded. "But you can sleep as much as you want by my side!"
"S-Spike," Soulshard cried, still comforting a crying Trixie. "Don't do this! You’ve never-"
Ignoring her, Spike gave a chuckle. "But before we seal the deal, though, I have a question for you."
"Anything, ask away!" Blackblood said.
Spike merely gave a smirk.
"Need a light?"
Blackblood's eyes widened in horror. "W-What?!"
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!.!.!.!.!
With a tremendous roar as a multitude of air ignited, a thick pillar of flames shot forth from the bone dragon's mouth, a fire twister of death streaking towards the abomination.
Gasping, Blackblood quickly swung forth nearly twenty tendrils, creating a wiggling of shield of black in front of him. With a thunderous crash, the flames smacked against it, quickly beginning to melt through its now literally shrieking form.
"Burrrn baby burn, burrrn baby burn!" Pinkie Pie chirped.
"You're such a walking cliche, Blackblood, actually trying to convince me to join your side! Well, you're going to learn really quick that any friend of Twilight's..." He nodded towards Trixie. "Is a friend of mine." At that, the flames coming from his jaw intensified. "And I know a certain reaper who's just dying to meet you! Never a bad thing to get points in Rainbow's book, I always... well actually I never say. But still!
"N-No!" Blackblood shrieked, the heat against his tendrils becoming unbearable. "I am not going to be beaten by a pathetic bone dragon of all things!"
"A bone dragon who's currently kicking your flank," Applejack muttered.
"Keep it up, Spike!" Twilight cried.
"Melt him to the core!" Trixie finally growled, gritting her teeth.
"NO! NO! NOOOOO!.!.!" Blackblood shrieked, the flames finally beginning to melt through his wiggling shield.
Spike gave a glare. "And now... the fat lady sin-"
"STOP RIGHT THERE, DRAGON FIEND!"
At that, the entire town gave a gasp, turning towards a certain green tunic wearing pony that had just entered the scene of the graveyard.
Spike shook his head incredulously, actually giving a nervous laugh. "Oh crap... whyyyyyy are you still alive?"
The figure gave a smirk. "Hahaha! You have clearly underestimated your greatest foe, you vile beast! For I am the Hero of Time! Celestia's chosen champion. I. AM...."
"Horsey Douchebag Link!
He lives in time!
Come to slay,
The fearsome dragon (again)!
Gonna whip out his bombs,
And then you're gonna be gone,
Cus you've went, and messed,
With the best!
Hallelujah!"
"Much improved, System 43.0," Link said, smiling widely at his four loyal bards... or ancestors of them, at least.
"Wait Link!" Twilight Soulshard cried, galloping over to him. "He's not a bad dragon! He's just REALLY stupid sometimes and likes burning down things he shouldn't!"
"Thanks, Twilight..." Spike grunted.
Link's heroic eyes widened in horror, him quickly whipping out the Master Sword and waving it at her menacingly. "He's working with the undead now, too?!" He then turned towards Spike, nearly completely ignoring Blackblood. "What horrible deeds will you not commit, dragon?!
"She's telling the truth!" Applejack gasped, galloping in front of him. "And when I say that, I mean it!"
The horror in Link's eyes intensified. "And he's using his vile mind control again!"
"Oh for the sake of the night! I don't even know how to do mind control!"
"You lying scum!" Link said, whipping out a series of bombs, grinning. "You'll pay for that insolent tongue of yours! Remember these?! Time to suck bomb, dragon fiend!"
"Oh, hellfire..."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!.!.!
And Spike was blown into a million bones... again.
"Hahahahaha!" Blackblood grinned, turning his eyes upon the extremely thick Hero of Time. "You stupid fool! You've gone and taken out the cavalry!"
"Well... technically 'the cavalry' would be the reinforcements," Twilight corrected, before snapping out of nerdy mode and glaring at the heroic pony. "Night damnit though, Link! The big black goo monster is the bad guy!"
Link gave a scoff. "Bah! Like I should believe anything you say! You're probably just battling him so you can take over-"
"She's not!" Pinkie Pie said, bouncing over towards him.
Link ignored her, still glaring at Twilight. "First, I'll slay you, and then-"
"Hey, listen!" Pinkie grunted, annoyed.
At that, Link shut his mouth, turning towards the pink bouncing pony... slowly.
"W-What did you just say?"
Pinkie quirked her head. "Hey, listen?"
Soulshard's eyes widened.
"PINKIE! Keep saying that! It's his only weakness!"
Pinkie quickly gave a nod, bouncing about the green tuniced hero. "HEY, LISTEN! HEY, LISTEN!"
"No..." Link gasped, backing away from her. "C-Celestia said she wouldn't have a reincarnation! NO!"
"HEY, LISTEN! HEY, LISTEN!"
"P-Please! Make it stop!" Link cried, gripping his head. "M-Make it stopppp!"
Applejack gave him a smirk. "There's only one way to make her stop, you know."
"I-Ill do anything! ANYTHING!" Link cried.
"HEY, LISTEN! HEY, LISTEN!"
"Help us kill the big black tar monster!" Applemoon growled.
Link gritted his teeth. "B-But not you?!"
"It's the only way," Flutterfright squeaked, nodding.
"HEY, LISTEN! HEY, LISTEN!"
Finally, with great trepidation (and with a great pain searing through the hero's eardrums), Link gave a defeated sigh. "Fine... you have my support... j-just shut her up!"
Applejack then gave a nod towards Pinkie, the hyperactive mare nodding back before shutting her mouth with a satisfied smile.
"Ugh... I don't care if he's working with us... screw that guy. Screw that guy. Screw that guy..." bone dragon Spike's skull rattled.
"Hahaha!" Blackblood cackled. "Even with the Hero of Time's support, you've just lost your heavy artillery! Just make it easy on yourself and lie down so I can get my fix already!"
“Uggggh… I can’t wait to shut those loud mouths of his up,” Pinkie Slice groaned. “And I thought I talked too much…”
“Hah, well they say talk is cheap, but that talk ain’t mine!” Blackblood grinned.
At that, a voice made itself known, coming from the direction of Everfree.
"I wouldn’t pay a penny for it,” it said. “Cus while Spike may be gone, guess who’s back, Blackie!?”
"You?!" Blackblood growled, turning towards a black cloak wearing figure. "B-But you're supposed to be..."
"Silly Blackblood! Death is for kids!" Rainbow Death smirked, twirling her scythe. "And today, for the first time, Eldritch Abominations, too!"
"Haha! I can't believe my friggin' counterpart is Death of all things! This is so awesome!" Rainbow Dash beamed, taking up position besides her. "But not as awesome as the fastest flier in Equestria..."
"And the fastest reaper in Edeathstria..." Deathie continued.
"Working together!" the two grinned.
"Ahem..." another voice called, the origin of it running over to join Rainbow Dash.
"Oh and uh... Twilight's here too," Rainbow simpered.
"Twilight!" the real Spike cried, quickly scurrying over towards her and giving her the hug of her life.
"Hey, Spike!" she said, smiling warmly, before chuckling slightly. "Heh, I hope your claw's not cramped, because I have quite the story that needs to be written down."
"Yeah, yeah... and I've got an ending for it." Blackblood grunted. "'And then they all were eaten by Blackblood happily ever after.'"
"T-Twilight... I-I'm so sorry for what happened," Trixie stuttered, ignoring the Eldritch Abomination, sauntering towards the mortal mare and wiping away a few tears. "I don't know what was wrong with me..."
"Don't worry about it," Twilight Sparkle said, holding up a hoof. "Once your serum wore off, I knew everything you told me was a lie."
"And our counterparts had the sense to not try to scare us silly," Applejack said, smiling towards Applemoon, the latter sulking her head slightly.
"S-So you forgive me?" Trixie said, her eyes widening.
"No harm, no foal," Twilight said, Trixie quickly sighing in relief.
At that, another voice made itself known.
"Um... Twilight Sparkle, is it?" her counterpart said, sweat-dropping as she approached her. "I uh... think I owe you an apology as well. I did start this whole mess, after all…"
"Twilight Soulshard," the real thing smiled. "It's nice to finally meet you! I hear we have a lot in common."
"R-Really?" Soulshard said. "You mean... you're not angry at me either?"
"Your friends explained things to me, and I pushed the pieces together," she replied. "And I have to say, you keep as good of company as I do."
Death gave a slight blush as the Elements of Harmony smiled.
Twilight then gave a smirk. "Though you know, you could have simply just have explained yourself to me. There's room enough in my treehouse for guests."
"I-I..." Soulshard gulped. "By the night... I've been acting like a total idiot lately, haven't I?"
Sparkle shook her head. "Believe me, I know what it feels like to want a change of pace occasionally. I don't blame you for anything." She then smirked slightly. "Besides, how often do I get to have a crazy adventure?"
"Eh, about once every three weeks," Rainbow Dash grinned.
Twilight quickly gave her a blank look. "A crazy adventure in a parallel world."
"W-Well... I'm glad things didn't go bad for you... I'm so sorry about Blackblood... I had no idea he would-"
"Like I said, not your fault," Twilight said, before leaning closer to her. "Though I have to say, your mentor... is she..."
"Yes, she's quite insane," Soulshard said, before quickly giving a grin. "Not that that's a bad thing, though." Soulshard then smiled, holding out a hoof. "So... friends?"
"Friends," Twilight said, gripping her hoof with a shake as the group gave an 'awwwwwwww.'
"Enough, already!" Blackblood growled. "I'm sorry to break up this tearful meeting, but don't you all have some dying to do?"
Twilight Sparkle quickly turned towards him, giving a glare. "Not so fast, Blackblood. Now that we're all together, nopony can beat the power of friendship! Girls, assemble!" she called.
"Right!"
"You got it, Twi!"
At that, the six Elements of Harmony began forming a battle line, the purple Element of Magic in the center. "What are we, girls?!"
"Honesty!" Applejack called.
"Generosity!" Rarity smiled.
"Wind- I mean, uh, Loyalty!" Rainbow Dash grinned confidently.
"K-Kindness," Fluttershy peeped.
"Laughter!" Pinkie bounced, giggling.
"Magic!" Twilight smirked confidently. "And with our powers combined, we are the Elements of Harmony!"
The Elements of Fear then formed around her undead counterpart. "And we... are the Elements of Fear!"
"And I am the Hero of Time!" Link said, grinning.
"And we... ARE... THE DOCTORS!" the Doctor and his counterpart smiled, joining the scene.
"And this... is my little friend, HAHAHAHAHA!" Dr. Whoovenstein cackled, wielding a jury-rigged Dalek laser cannon.
"And I am Trixie Elphaba!" Trixie growled, gaining a smile from Soulshard. "And when you mess with the west, you'll die like the rest!"
"And I am Spartacus!" Spike called.
The crowd gave him a look, to which he shrugged at.
"Had to be done."
"Correction! You're all dead!" Blackblood roared, stamping a childish hoof as he said: "Dead dead dead dead DEAD!"
Death's eyes narrowed. "That's my call to make, buddy. And I'm afraid you've made the black list. No pun intended."
"Ooooh you've got to be kidding me," Blackblood said, rolling his many eyes. "Go ahead, Death! I've been getting pretty hungry! Another appetizer would be nice before the main course!"
"Hah! Nice try, but I left my lockets at home for once," Deathie smirked. However, her tone quickly turned deadly serious: "All except... one."
She quickly whipped out a cross-shaped locket, twirling it slightly as she glared towards the abomination, the rest of the group glancing at it curiously.
"Oooo, what's that?" Rainbow Dash said, quirking her head slightly.
"Let's just say," Deathie smirked. "I ain't afraid of no ghost."
"Yeah, but you'd best learn to be afraid of me!" Blackblood roared, glancing at the ghouls of the audience. "You all call yourself scary?! You don't know the meaning of horror! I am a creature from beyond time and space! I could make Lovecraft himself cringe! I-"
"You are a disgrace to our kind."
"What?!"
Blackblood's eyes widened as he glanced down upon Lyra Heartstab, one of the Slendermare's tendrils piercing her skull yet again.
"You think of yourself as a being of fear? You know nothing about that which you dribble about," he said in a robotic-like tone, using the undead mare as a ventriloquist dummy. "True horror relies on subtlety, on mystery… on your prey knowing there might be something in the dark… but not knowing for sure. It’s something you lose every time you open your big fat mouths. It is no wonder you chose to try to rule those around you instead of joining them in their ways: you simply do not know how."
At that, he retracted his tendril, Lyra shaking her head in an exasperated manner yet again. Giving a nod towards Twilight Soulshard, he joined the line of heroes.
"H-He... spoke!" the undead mare gasped.
"You see, Blackblood? Even your brother from another freaky Null Space mother won't give you the time of day," Death growled. "And I don’t care what it takes! You're not leaving this world alive! You didn't come in peace, so you're going in pieces!"
"Oooooh, you really are a card, aren't you?" Blackblood smiled, before suddenly lashing out nearly fifteen tendrils, each with wide-open portal-filled mouths encrusted into them. They quickly snatched any random ponies or still somewhat alive ghouls they could find, gripping them like black, disgusting pythons.
"Twilight! Help us!" Lyra Heartstrings cried. "I d-don't want to- AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!.!.!"
A series of ear piercing screams emanated about town from thirty ponies and ghouls as the life drained from their faces.
"N-No!" Twilight Sparkle gasped.
"Easy, there," Soulshard said, gulping. "If we can just eliminate Blackblood, their souls should return to their bodies... I hope."
Deathie gave a nod. "Yep! You’ve done your homework, Twilight.” She then grinned towards Blackblood. “And this is going to be the best. REAPING. EVER!"
Blackblood rolled his eyes. "Oh lordy! How many times do I have to tell you... You've got no chance! I guess I'll have to try another thing to get it through your tiny brains!"
He then took a deep breath, before:
"Better wait a minute,
Better hold the phone,
Better mind your manners,
Better change your tone!
Don't you threaten me, girl!
You've got a lot of gall!
We're gonna do things MY way,
OR WE WON'T DO THINGS AT ALL!"
"Oh crap!" the town cried.
"OH YEEEEES!" Blackblood screamed with delight, his mass expanding ever more-so as he devoured the life of those he held.
At that, a series of plumps could be heard as he dropped the limp hosts’ of those whose souls he had just consumed, quickly sending a new series of tendrils both towards the battle line of heroes and towards any other bystanders he could find.
"Ohhhh nelly!" Applejack cried.
"EEEEEP!" Pinkie Pie shrieked as tentacle actually managed to grab her.
"PINKIE!" Twilight Sparkle cried.
"Ya don't know what you're messin' with,
You can't even begin!
Well let me go and tell ya then,
I AM THE MEANING OF SIN!"
"AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGH!.!.!" Pinkie shrieked, struggling against the toothy tendril with all her might.
"Uh uh! No more dinner for you," Deathie growled, surging forward like a thunderbolt only for-
"OOOF!"
-A gooey limb to smash into her, batting her like a baseball across the graveyard.
The life then began fading from Pinkie, only for...
"HIIIIYAAAAA!"
Link to sail downward, the Master Sword shimmering and held vertically as his tunic danced in the wind.
SHIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!.!.!.!
The sword ripped through the tendril, it letting out a horrifying shriek as it plopped to the ground, bleeding, and loosening its hold on Pinkie. A teal, screaming soul resembling Lyra Hearstrings sailed out of its mouths and towards her body...
"Oh no you don't!" Blackblood roared, his many mouths opening again. It almost looked as if the soul was struggling to swim against a current as it roared back into him.
"By Celestia! He's like a vacuum cleaner from Hell!" Spike cried.
"Time to send him back, then!" Deathie growled, charging towards his main mass with renewed vigor.
Blackblood merely grinned at her efforts. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how!
You don't know what you're messin' with,
But I'm gonna tell you now!"
As Deathie twirled her scythe like a propeller, ready to tear into Blackblood's central mass, a tendril sailed out of nowhere, slamming her into the bottom of a freshly dug grave.
"Hehehe... HAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
A series of sharpened-tipped tentacles then sailed towards her...
The crowd's eyes widened...
Deathie gave a gasp...
And right when they were about to hit, Blackblood paused, and instead of piercing the pegareaper, he gripped her and brought her before the largest mouth on his body, a taunting grin upon it.
"Get this straight!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space,
AND I AM BAD!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space!
And you've got me mighty mad!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space,
So get off my back, 'n get out my face,
'Cause I'm back in black!
And I AM... BAD!"
He then began giggling as he slammed Rainbow against the ground repeatedly.
"Big black douchebag from outer space!" the town chanted.
"Big black MOTHA!" he growled.
Big black douchebag from outer space!"
"OH THAT'S IT!"
Growling, he tossed Deathie like a ragdoll into the same open grave before gripping even more random ponies.
Twilight and her counterpart's eyes widened at this.
“Come on! We can’t let him grow into an even bigger douche!” Twilight Soulshard cried.
“How good is your aim?” her counterpart asked.
“Not bad, I think.”
“Well then… let’s put it to the test!”
Screaming war cries, their horns began glowing brightly before a series of purple beams of light were sent sailing into every single one of his gooey, sickening tendrils.
"ACK! NO! STOP! OUCH! THAT FRIGGIN' HURTS!" Blackblood cried, his limbs dropping those he had grabbed from nearly fifty feet in the air.
"Oh shoot! Catch me catch me catch me!" Vinyl cried.
"Heeeelllp!" Mayor Mare screamed.
Nodding, the Slendermare quickly sent out a series of his own shadowy limbs, catching everyghoul and pony that were in freefall, and lowering them safely to the ground.
"Thanks Slendermare!" the town cheered.
"Slendermare, Slendermare, friendly neighborhood Slendermare!" Pinkie bounced.
If the Eldritch Abomination had a mouth, he'd probably be smiling.
Sighing in relief, both Twilight's then turned their birthrights back upon the glaring, not-so-friendly Blackblood.
He merely laughed upon seeing this. "Hahahaha! Do you still not get it, child of light?!"
"Don't talk to me bout the real Nightmare Moon,
You think she's bad! Hah! You got no clue!
Don't talk to me bout’ no Flim and Flam,
I'd smack em' down before the BING BANG ZAM!"
"Incoming!" Twilight Soulshard yelled, two spiked tendrils sailing towards her and her counterpart's way.
"You see I ain't no Discord with some hypno glare,
Or King Sombra with his mighty stairs!
You can keep the Changelings, keep their Queen,
Next to them I make em' all look green!"
Twilight Sparkle gasped, ducking as the tentacle sailed over her and pierced a gravestone. Grunting, Blackblood then ripped it from the ground, twirled it in the air, and sent it screaming down towards the child of light.
"I got Eldritch style, major moves,
I got the stuff, and I think that proves,
You better move it out! It's Lovecraft's day!
You got the point? It's time to EAT THE GRAVE!"
"AACK!" Twilight grunted, barely rolling out of the way as the gravestone slammed into the hardened ground, shattering into a million bits.
"Haha! Here comes the sequel!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space,
And I AM BAD!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space!
And you've got me mighty mad!
I'm just a big black motha from outer space!
Give up your souls!
Get out my face!
Cus I'm back. In. Black!"
He gripped both Twilight's with his tendrils.
"Better hit. The. Sack!"
He then gripped both Doctors and Link....
"And I ain't. No. Gack!"
And finally, mostly everyone else in the battle.
"But I....”
Pinkie’s eyes widened.
“AM....”
Fluttershy screamed for mercy.
“BAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDD!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH!.!.!"
Those ensnared screamed for their lives, their eyes slowly rolling to the back of their heads.
"F-Fight it," Soulshard cried towards her counterpart. "Don't... let him... take..."
Her head then went limp.
"Soulshard!"
"DAMNIT ALL!" Deathie called towards the woods, climbing out of her grave. "Rotten Belle! We need our ace in the hole!" Her black eyes then shot a glare that could kill towards the abomination. "You're going to pay for messing with MY TWILIGHT!"
"Wait-what?!" Blackblood called. "What ace are you talking about!?"
"Ooooh Blackblood," Rotten chimed, sailing in from the woods and levitating a certain, jagged sword towards the battle. "You seem to have forgotten about someghoul."
"See Blackblood," Deathie smiled. "You may like to think you're the toughest Eldritch Abomination around. But do you want to take a guess as to who this sword originally belonged to?"
Blackblood gave an amused smirk. "And who might that be?"
"Someone very much like us... someone who fed on souls," Deathie grinned. "The original Lich King, Artharius of Winter. Defeated nearly a thousand years ago because of his arrogance."
The Eldritch Abomination rolled his eyes. "Hah! Whatever! I may be arrogant, but did you ever think that that was because I'm currently winning!?"
"... Hang on though, I'm not done," Deathie smirked. "You see, he actually had a right to be somewhat arrogant. He was actually sort of a badass. Even his sword was pretty cool, for Frostmourne isn't normal by any stretch of the imagination... no, it, like the Lich King was powered by souls."
"So what?!" Blackblood growled.
"Whelp, let's just say this: congratulations, Blackblood. There's something out there that sucks even more than you do!"
His eyes widened. "WHAT?!"
With that, Rotten tossed the sword Deathie's way.
She then gripped it and grinned, now dual wielding both it and her scythe at the same time. At that, she kicked herself into the air, flapped her wing madly, twirled herself vertically and…
SHIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!.!.!
Severed a tendril.
Two screaming souls soon found their way from it. However, instead of being re-eaten by Blackblood, they twirled in a mighty spiral towards the sword of doom.
"The ultimate soul magnet!" Deathie said proudly as they were sucked in, the sword glowing a light bright blue afterward. "Cus Frostmourne always hungers!"
Blackblood sweat-dropped, his mass shrinking ever-so-slightly as those held in his grip found their souls entering their bodies once more, his suction lightening. "Oh crap."
At that, the clopping of frantic hooves could be heard approaching Rainbow.
"Nicely done, Death," the Doctor smiled, him having been held by the tentacle Rainbow had just sliced off. "Always nice to see you again, by the way."
Death rolled her eyes with a hint of a smirk. "You too, you cheating bastard.”
The Doctor merely chuckled in return, whipping out his sonic screwdriver.
"Uhh... Doctor. What is that?" Deathie said, cocking her head.
"A screwdriver."
She squinted an eyebrow. "Seriously!? What are you going to do, unscrew Blackblood's cupboards?!"
"It's a sonic screwdriver."
"So... it's gotta go fast?" Pinkie Slice called, still struggling against her tentacle.
"Oh by the night that was the worst pun ever," Deathie muttered to herself.
"Whatever it is, YOU'RE NOT GETTING A CHANCE TO USE IT!" Blackblood roared, quickly sending the Doctor flying with a well-placed tendril hit, his screwdriver clattering to the ground.
"OOF!" he cried, slamming into a nearby gravestone and collapsing upon his side.
"Doctor!" both Derpies then screamed, rushing to the sidelines and standing by him defensively.
"Rainbow... activate it," Dr. Whooves struggled to say, trying desperately to raise himself to his hooves. "B-Button on the side..."
Squinting an eyebrow, Rainbow Death dropped to her frontal hooves, gripping the device with her mouth while examining it with her wing.
"Uh-uh-uh!" Blackblood growled, sending one of his more massive tentacles downwards to crush the grim reaper.
Deathie gave a gasp, rolled out of the way, and lept upon her hooves, her wing eventually finding the button the Doctor spoke of.
"Ah, there we go!"
She immediately regretted doing so, for soon after a loud, piercing screech emanated from the device, everypony in the immediate vicinity's screams quickly joining in with the sickening sound. However, despite this, the one who was most affected appeared to be Blackblood, his gacky form fluctuating violently.
"WWWAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!.!.!" he cried, his tentacles loosening just enough for the combatants to make their escape.
At that, the sonic screwdriver stopped shrieking, its glowing form quickly becoming dull.
"Nice one, Doctor! Sorry about your battery though!" Death called, before turning towards Rainbow Dash. "You good?"
Dashie quickly gave a nod. "Wing's hurting a little bit, but nothing I can't manage. Let's hit the plan!"
Deathie then gave a grin towards Blackblood. "Alright Blackblood. Wanna know what you should do when there's two Rainbows up against you?"
"W-What's that?" he said, gasping.
Death narrowed her eyes. "You run like a bat out of hell."
She then turned towards Rainbow….
"Catch!"
And tossed her scythe her way, Dashie catching it with a curious glance.
Blackblood gave a gasp, glancing down upon his newly rejuvenated enemies.
Dr. Whoovenstein gripped his Dalek laser cannon, his eyes filled with manic-laced bloodlust.
Rarity levitated Tom the Boulder, ready to send it flying, her eyes narrowing.
Twilight Sparkle stood by her unconscious counterpart's side, guarding her defensively.
Trixie marched towards the scene with a contingent of zombies, all armed with Ponyville's gun supply.
Link twirled the Master Sword, smiling confidently.
Rotten, Scootaweb, and Appledoom growled, entering a combat pose.
Pinkie Slice summoned a series of sharpened weapons from dreamspace, handing them out to anypony unarmed.
Pinkie Pie armed her party cannon, grinning like a maniac.
Slendermare simply stood there... menacingly.
Flutterfright and Fluttershy moved a series of storm clouds into position, right over Blackblood.
Scarity levitated a series of gravestones.
And Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Death stood side-by-side, the latter giving a grin. "Welcome to the jungle."
"Awwwwww yeah!" Rainbow Dash smirked.
As Blackblood's eyes widened in horror, the chaos commenced, Rainbow Death beginning it with:
"Welcome to the jungle! We've got fun and games!"
SLIIIIIIIICEEEEEEEE!.!.!
She and Rainbow tore through a nearby tendril.
"We've got everything you want! Including your disease!"
They landed in front of an armed line of zombies, aiming thirty rifles towards the beast of null.
"FIRE!" Trixie cried.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!.!.!
Thirty rounds whizzed through the air, aimed precisely for the beast’s eyes.
"AGGGGGGGHHHH!"
"We are the ponies who can find, anything we need!"
The two Rainbows then zipped forward, aiming for Blackblood's central mass as souls sailed into Frostmourne from the tentacles severed.
ZAAAAAAAAP!.!.!
ZAAAAAAAAP!.!.!
ZAAAAAAAAP!.!.!
A series of blue lasers flew by them, cutting down any tendril that tried to block their path.
"Hahahaha! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" Dr. Whoovenstein cackled maniacally, firing his laser cannon with glee.
"To send your black flank packing while we show you how to scream!"
Dashie twirled her scythe, grinning.
Deathie narrowed her black eyes and raised Frostmourne, now glowing as bright as the sun.
"In the jungle! Welcome to the jungle of this Nightmare's Eve!.!.!"
"RAAAAAAAUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHH!.!.!" Deathie roared, sending Frostmourne careening into Blackblood's central mass.
The entire battle haulted, the entire town staring up at Blackblood as every single inch of him froze in place.
A beat of silence...
A gust of ghostly wind...
And then…
"I just wanted..." he finally whispered, struggling to speak. "I just... wanted..." There was a pause, before he spoke his final words: "I love you... Nightmare... Moon...."
His entire form then collapsed into a pool of goo, forever still.
Then, a second later, a howling sound louder than the strongest wind came, a hundred souls of nearly all colors sailing out of the pool. Some flew into the limp bodies of the townsfolk who they were stolen from, while others simply flew... on. One in particular sailed from the pool directly into Deathie's cross-shaped locket.
She then gave a sigh, snapping it shut. "Ain't no rest for the wicked.”
However, at that, another soul caught Death's eye, one very familiar, very lavender, and very much resembling Twilight Soulshard... sailing away.
"T-Twilight..." Death gasped, collapsing on her flank.
