//------------------------------// // Part 12: Dark Servants // Story: The Awakening Of The Darkness // by Shadowmane PX-41 //------------------------------// Shimalga Ratesca was now trying to burn the seven ponies with his rainbow coloured fires, Everypony but Sunset Shimmer was affected by the flames, As she was adept at fire magic, Even though this was her strength, Shimalga suddenly took notice and started trying to eat her. "I could use some help here!" She said as she was being crushed by Shimalga's enormous fangs. As she was being swallowed, The Mane 6 started pulling out their signature pony weapons and started kicking the crap out of the hydra-dragon. "Thanks." Came from Sunset as she crawled out of the dragon's guts. "No problem, We're all in this together." Twilight said to her as she was shaking the dragon saliva off her mane and tail. "Now we're almost at Darkwing, I can feel his presence getting stronger and stronger." She said as they were now ascending the stairs and portals as rapid speed. On floor 100, There was an enormous door that looked larger than all of the castle's other doors combined, With Darkwing's thorns wrapped around it, And pulsating pure darkness through the gap of the two doors. "Well Well Well, Look who decided to show up!" Said a familiar annoying voice, Belonging to Diamond Tiara. "You two again?! Come on!" Rainbow Dash said to them both with a mix of frustration and confusion. "We've sustained a gargantuan power boost during our infantile hibernation." Silver Spoon told them slyly. "There's no way you can possibly defeat us now!" Diamond said in response. "Of course we'll find a way." Twilight said to them both, "Friendship can conquer any darkness!" "Really?! That's all you have to say? How pathetic!" Diamond said materializing her crystalline scythes in her hands. "I've heard enough of those monologues from those blank flanks you call sisters!" Silver Spoon said pulling out her dark staves. "It's time to meet your end, Girls, I am Diamond Tiara." "And I am Silver Spoon." AND TOGETHER WE WILL REIGN TRIUMPHANT!!!!" Came in perfect sync from both of them. As the combat began outside the throne room doors, Silver Spoon placed a countdown clock above all of the mares' heads, While Diamond Tiara used her new god-like powers to temporarily remove Twilight and friends' Cutie Marks. "Now this is what i like to see! Untalented ponies, RIPE FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION!!!!!" Diamond said charging at them all with her scythes of pure gemstone. The battle drew out for longer than they expected, Without their Cutie Marks, The seven mares had a slight power loss during their conflicts with the two winged humans, After what seemed like eternity, Applejack landed an extraordinarily accurate Applebuck on Silver Spoon giving them all their Cutie Marks back. But even with their butt tattoos back, Diamond Tiara spilled a lot more pony blood than during their last battle, Causing Twilight and Sunset Shimmer to fall onto their knees, And leaving their other friends unconscious due to their countdown clocks reaching zero. "Now it ends, Twilight, NOW IT ENDS!!!!!!" Diamond said before finishing Twilight with a final slash, This final attack was so powerful that it split Twilight in half! "Yes! I win! Nopony beats Diamond Tiara!!!!" she said laughing. "Think again, You cold hearted spawn of a bitch!" Twilight said appearing from the sky and impaling Diamond with her horn before doing the same with Silver. "What?! But how? How did you-" She stopped when she saw the dead copy vanish, "A FAKE?!" "Alicorn magic can do some pretty nifty things." Twilight told them, "Like this for example." Wasting no time, Twilight turned her horn aura Green and cast a magical healing spell on the other spirits causing them to awaken. "You two are clearly childhood scum, A flawed product of the darkness, And as such you must meet your judgment!" She said before pulling some insane grimdark magic nopony had seen before. After Twilight moved away, Nothing remained of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon except a pile of ash, Their weapons, Coal, and an incinerated pair of glasses. "The deed is done, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU NEXT DARKWING!!!!" She said opening the door to the throne room. Upon entering the throne room, The first thing the girls saw was Darkwing getting up from his throne with an evil grin on his face. "Good show ponies, Very entertaining." He said as if fakely interested in their recent victory. "You!" Sunset said to him. "You girls brought that human obsessed mare with you?! How entertaining is this gonna be!" He said before resummoning all the things from the opening forcefield, And resurrected the pile of ash Twilight had just created. "I was hoping i wasn't gonna have to use this but you've clearly forced my hand! NOW SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF COMPLETE AND UTTER DARKNESS!!!!" After Darkwing had finished, all the respawned entities of darkness as well as the Stone Of Age And Youth were being absorbed into him, Even Discord who had clearly given up on showing any resistance, As the monsters became part of him again, He started wrapping himself in dark energy and lightning, Before throwing it all into the sky laughing evilly, "NOW LET'S SEE IF YOUR ELEMENTS OF HARMONY CAN STOP THIS!!!!!!" When the light appeared again, Pinkie asked, "Where's Darkwing?" Almost immediately after she finished, A giant eye encompassed the entire sky with a dark aura surrounding it.
