//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Nightmare Night Fight // Story: Tirek Reborn // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 5: Nightmare Night Fight The guest can watch what's going on from within his hiding place, groaning in worry, "Great! Just b-e-a-utiful; First me, now Tirek," The figure turns to us. This has been a weird bucking day, people." Tirek chuckles as his Changelings came to him. Seto bows while saying, "Master Tirek..." "Raise, Seto. No need to bow. There's no need to right now." Tirek said to Seto with a cruel chuckle. He saw Megan and her pony allies look at him with frowns. "Well, speechless? That's like I like to see in my future subjects and/or victims." "Yeah, well I don't know about the victims but the subjects are sure as hay not happening." Rainbow remarks to Tirek dryly. "Is this Tirek, Megan?" Ben Mare asks Tirek, noticing an angry look on the Mag'ne's face. "Yes, it is. I know that form anywhere." Megan said sternly and angrily. "I have never forgotten a face of evil after so many years of facing him as a girl." "Shame that you are the only one from centuries past to do so; and it looks like we're about to get some...new guys." Tirek remarks as he saw the ponies of Ponyville coming over to see what's going on. "Talk about déjà vu." Spike mumbles in concern. When something like this has happened, Nyx has transformed into Nightmare Moon. Now it looks like another monster has risen. "What...is that?" The Mayor gasps in shock at the form of Tirek. "Is...is that Tirek?" "Just like in the stories," Sweetie gulps as she and her friends huddle one another, all of them are trembling in fear. If this is Tirek, then the ponies are in major danger. "Ooooh muffins," Derpy said in concern, then seeing her daughter Dinky hiding behind her, "It's okay, Dinky. Everything's going to be all right." "Don't lie to the filly, Derpy!" Time Turner exclaims to Derpy in alarm. "This is Tirek the Abomination of centuries past." "Yes, it has been centuries ago since I was ruler of all you see back then...and now thanks to my allies the Changelings, it has happened once again." Tirek explains to the worried ponies as he motions to the Changelings, giving them credit for a hand in his return. "We live to serve." Chrysalis said slyly while bowing to Tirek. The villain then smirks sinisterly at the frowning Celestia staring at him right now. He knows whom else to give credit for his return as well, since it involves a certain book that the Changeling Queen has used to make this all possible. "And I must thank you Celestia for giving your student the book that made it possible as well." "What!" The critic exclaims in anger. "Way to go, princess. Not only are you a crappy princess, but you doomed us all!" "Don't talk to the princess that way!" Twilight exclaims furiously at the critic for acting that way to her mentor and aunt in law. "Come on, get with it! The princess is worthless! She has eyes all over, the alicorn didn't bother to do anything to stop her sister or Discord...Celestia even gave up your daughter to that cult that almost doomed us with Eternal Night! Hay, she didn't even listen to your words of warning when the Changelings invaded Canterlot before and even when their queen was revealed, she got taken down! And now, the so-called princess didn't even do anything to stop Tirek this time!" The argument was really good as to why the bashers hate Celestia that even the rest of the Mane Six have doubts. Another pony snaps at the princess, "Yeah, thanks for dooming us, Princess!" But the angry Ben Mare yells out, "Shut up! Just shut up! It's not mom's fault! When it comes to Aunt Luna, only the Elements could save her and she didn't have the connection. As far as Discord is concerned, even mom knows that her and Aunt Luna's power isn't enough to stop him! Also, my mother didn't even know that the cult tricked her into giving my daughter to them in the first place! And as far as the Canterlot invasion has gone, hey, mom treated Cadance like a daughter and took offensive by Twilight's charges...and also, even mom has bad luck! You can't blame my mother for having bad moments! I have them too!" Twilight comment, "It was actually MY fault for holding on to the book for too long. Don't hold it against Celestia." "Oh yes...it seems that there are some critics of the princess Celestia..." Chrysalis said with a sinister chuckle as she floats a potion over to Tirek. "Luckily, I got this made..." "No!" Luna gasps as she tries to flies in but some of the Changelings jump in the way, knocking her down. "Thank you! And now, Rainbow of Darkness, return!" Tirek roars as he throws the vial onto the ground. It releases a sparkly smoke that blinds the view before something hovers from the potion: a black sack. "Yeeees." "Crud, look out! It's the Rainbow of Darkness!" Big Macintosh exclaims in yelp. He has read stories of Tirek the Abomination and knows how to identify the Rainbow of Darkness. Some of the ponies tremble in fear, knowing the deadly power of the sinister rainbow. "Ah, so you all remember the legend. Now let's see if the Rainbow of Darkness has lost its touch, shall we?!" Tirek opens the sack, causing a sinister familiar rainbow to come out of the sack. Megan's group gasps in worry but notice that the rainbow isn't coming to them...it's coming right at Celestia's critics! "Look out!" Pinkie screams but it's too late, the Rainbow of Darkness hits four of Celestia's critics, including the one who spoke out against her. The four ponies scream as they begin to transform... The ponies near the transformation area gasps and move away as four black dragons appear, roaring evilly. But it won't end there…the Rainbow of Darkness flew around elsewhere. The good guys saw a few more creatures appearing: more dragons and dark warriors, just like centuries ago! Tirek smirks in triumph as the Rainbow of Darkness has returned to his sack. After so many centuries, the deadly power is still effective. "Oh yes, everything is going into place...my new body, Rainbow of Darkness and dragons. Eternal Night shall be spread for real...and this time, there's no hope of stopping me." Tirek announce to the ponies and their allies. The evil villain chuckles at the unconscious Nyx, pushing her with one of his hooves. "What a pity. Such a fine little filly...she was a good vessel up to now..." "Leave her alone!" Twilight exclaims in fury to Tirek who glances up at her,"Stay away from my daughter, you monster!" "Oh yes...Twilight Sparkle, Nyx's mother. You are one of the most powerful unicorns in Equestria, correct? I would transform you into a dragon...but I got all I need so maybe I can cut your throat instead." "Leave her alone!" Applejack snaps to Tirek, snorting at the villain. "Yew gotta go through us! If Ah recall mah family's history right, yew changed mah ancestor the original AJ into one o' them dragon things. So consider this payback fer 'de Apple Family!" "And if my ancestor Firefly can kick your tail, so can I!" Rainbow exclaims, throwing hooves into the air. "Right; you messed up our last night of Nightmare Night party, mister!" Pinkie snaps sternly as she got her party cannon out. "No one does that to us, NOT EVEN A SUPER DUPER CENTURIES OLD MEANIE LIKE YOU!" "Yes, leave...uh, please?" Fluttershy ask meekly to Tirek as she and Rarity stood against him. "Ponies, stay out of this." Celestia said to the Mane Six as she and Luna step towards the monster of Dream Valley. "I must do what I can to keep our subjects safe, if to prove to them all that I am not a coward or a weakling. That critic's words may be uncalled for, but he is right in some parts." "Correct, and we haven't finished our fight, Tirek." Luna said to Tirek who glares at her and Celestia. "It's time we finish it." Tirek comment to Celestia and Luna, "In an odd way, I'm GLAD Chrysalis and her minions failed to kill you two. That will give ME the extreme pleasure of crushing the two of you myself, thereby concretely proving my power beyond any reasonable doubt." "They won't fight you alone, Tirek!" A familiar roar to everyone else as a familiar old dragon appears, landing right in front of Tirek. King Spykoran glares at the one who used to torment him when he was the original Spike, who changed his good friend Scorpan into a monster up to Tirek's demise. "Remember ME, Tirek?" "Not really. But the fact such a powerful-looking dragon remembers ME IS quite flattering." "I was your baby dragon slave more than a thousand years ago." Tirek pauses to think and laughs. Now he remembers...that litle dragon from centuries ago. "Oh, yeah; I remember you NOW, Spike." Tirek taunts the original Spike to his own amusement. "It's King Spykoran now, villain." King Spykoran snaps at Tirek angrily. "You HAVE moved up in the world, haven't you? All grown up and looking for settle old scores I see." "We finish this NOW." "Couldn't agree more," Tirek said with a nod, agreeing with King Spykoran somewhat. "Finishing you AND the two Princesses on my own will establish me as a force to truly be feared; by ponies and dragons alike." "Okay, every pony except Celestia and Luna stay out of this. This is between us and Tirek." King Spykoran orders everyone sternly even the dragons. The Dragon King and his old friends shall deal with Tirek once and for all and in their own way as well. "Yes, yes, we shall...but don't let us have all the fun." Tirek remarks sinisterly as he turns to the Changelings, "Chrysalis, everyone, time to feed on the ponies." "Yes, finally,' Fred and Ed exclaims eagerly as the Changelings prepare to attack the ponies with the dark dragons not the ponies and the dark warriors joining in. "Oh not this again," Spike exclaims a bit in alarm. "This day keeps getting so much better." Phobos remarks sarcastically as it looks like a full out war is about to happen again, this time here in Ponyville. Soon, something was coming up from beyond a point near edge part of the area, creatures that no one has ever seen before were walking up like some form of marching troopers. They were big, harry beast about 25 feet tall, basic muscle in their guts, yellow eyes and come out in many colors of purple, yellow, red, green, and blue for their fur bodies and lighter hair on their heads and backs. They just seem to wear brown blithe for feet, black cloths for the body with rope around their waistlines, some have gray wristbands and others have dome shape helmets for their heads. They wield from giant clubs, axes, mallets, and maces as carrying arsenal in full use to their brutal strengths by the looks of their situation. "Ogres; But how are they...Grrrr, Grimmore!" Golden Heart responded in recognizing the creatures as Ogres, and from shocking surprise to angerly growls in knowing 'who' had something to do with this. "He's somehow managed to create a portal spell magic to bypass the Gates of Tartarus' field that kept prisoners kept in check! Just perfect," The pony moans and groans in realizing that just one major enemy wasn't enough, now Grimmore is mixing it up. "What are those things?" Caramel asked off in noticing that the heroes got some trouble moving in all too sudden. "Ogres; they are usual more muscle then brains and can't think very clearly except to follow orders. But most times, they get a few things messed up when their targets take into using smarts against such dense foes." Golden Heart explained off what the creatures coming at them are and some facts to their strengths...to weakness. "Listen, we need to do just that, trust me." This pony stated to the others around that they have to defeat the enemy with not just brute force, but with intelligence too. "Okay, if ya gone an' say so." Tough Apple shrug off his shoulders in hearing this pony give him orders. The Ogres soon saw their targets ahead, and soon began to act a bit. "Looky-looky, ponies dead ahead!" A yellow Ogre pointed to notice the ponies are ahead of them. "Um, what we do when find them?" A red Ogre rubbed his finger through his lips in being puzzled in what they gotta do again. "We have orders to fight & stall ponies!" A purple Ogre declared off in stating like the lead trooper of this squad. "Why stall ponies again?" A green Ogre asked off from rubbing his back head, not getting the idea of what they gotta do. "Not sure, our lord told us to stall." The purple Ogre shrug off his shoulders in not knowing, Grimmore just gave orders without making it 'too' difficult for these guys to remember or forget. "Um, okey-dokey," A blue Ogre nods his head happily in agreeing to that statement. "Ogre Troops; Dugh, CHAAAAARGE," The purple Ogre heads up his index finger in the air, pointed ahead to shout with a serious notion to attack now. "Waaauughhh..." The rest of the Ogres roared and were off to attack the ponies. While things with Ponies VS. Changelings, Dark Dragons, Dark Warriors and Ogres was going on, from the shadows, no one say some black goop moving across the bushes. Then those liquid goops were revealed to be clays, which in term shaped themselves to be the Black Clays. As they watched the fight go off while they managed to slip pass the ruckus. "The Ogres are attacking the ponies Captain." A Black Clay soldier reported to his captain nearby on the matter going on. "Good, Grimmore wanted some attention to be divided, make the ponies think he wants to move in on the disaster and now no one will suspect what's really going on." Captain Clay smiled in seeing this as he reached to pull out a familiar Halos Crystal as it shimmered a bit from the moon light. "When it's time to leave, we'll use the Gate Gems to leave this place and return to Tartarus." The captain exclaimed from putting the crystal away to show a crimson red gem shaped like demons' likeness. "Let's go!" He turned to signal his men that it's time that they got going. "Right," The Black Clays saluted to their captain and begin to slip quickly through the trees in the neighborhood, and with the cover of night, no one would see them. Within the forest a figure is seeing what has happening. "This is not good but I bet Grimmore knows by now and plan something that cannot be stop by alicorns but nothing about an earth pony." The figure said. She then pulls out a Crystal that looks just like the Halos Crystal. "Even if I fail to stop them from putting it in her belongings, I can at least put this in to make the real one not do well like Grimmore wants. Now I just wait and get ready for when the time comes." With that she goes deep into the forest and could no longer be seen. -------------- "Quickly, keep the enemies away from the ponies!" One Dragon Army member orders as he and his allies send down flames onto the Changelings and Tirek's forces. "Take 'dis!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she send a kick right at a Changeling, sending him packing. "Look out! They're going for Nyx!" Sweetie screams in worry. Sure enough, one of the Changelings heading for Nyx. "Someone save her!" Twilight angrily fires a magic blast from her horn at the horn, yelling out, "Stay away from my daughter!" She got Nyx on her back while trotting over to Big Macintosh. "Big Mac, can you keep Nyx safe until this battle is over?" "Yew can count on me, Twilight! Eeyup," Big Mac replied with a nod. Twilight hands Nyx over to Big Mac, knowing that he can count on him to keep her safe. The unicorn said, "Just to make sure that you are Big Macintosh and not a Changeling, do you own a doll named Miss Smartypants?" "Shucks, not anymore. Ah done gave it back 'ta yew after 'de...embarrassments, remember?" Big Macintosh points out to Twilight, looking a bit embarrassed. "Just making sure; only the real Big Mac would know that." Twilight said to Big Macintosh in delight. The battles kept on going. Golden Heart kicks at one of the Changelings and ogres. Rainbow exclaims, "Where the hay did these ogres come from?!" "I do know and it involves a threat for now." Golden Heart said with a frown on his face. "All righty, men," An ogre spoke in a Scottish accent; This is obviously the captain, being more stronger & Intellectual than the rest, plus wearing some captain shoulder pads & helmet to sell the look right. "Time 'ta fight in Grimmore's name!" "You know, that's funny." Pinkie Pie giggles to the captain as she appears. "You sound just like that ogre guy in the Shrek films, but that one is funny and nicer. Say, how about you don't have a Donkey? Can I be the Donkey???" The ogre captain frowns as he roars a bit at Pinkie Pie. The pony smiles a bit while saying, "Wow, that's really super duper awesome! Of course, if your roar and weapons don't scare ponies, your breath would. You need a Tic Tac or something because your breath stinks!" "Oh, for the love of Grimmore, I have no time for you, you silly pony!" The ogre captain groans as he tries to hit her with a mace, but Pinkie moves around. "Miss me, miss me! Now you gotta kiss me!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she kissed the captain, much to his disgust, "Ick; Garlic breath!" The ogre tossed the pony right off as he and his pals quickly continue their attacks on the ponies. Meanwhile, Celestia, Luna and King Spykoran continue their own fight, using their attacks on Tirek who is knocked back. But Tirek recovers as he fires a wave at the trio, exclaiming, "Face it! I am the true king of this world, you are all substitutes!" "No one wanted you back, Tirek!" Luna snapped as she kicked at Tirek but was grabbed by the legs by the villain, who tossed her down. "Right, Equestria needs a ruler who cares for its ponies and creatures. You just want to do so by spreading Eternal Night!" Celestia snaps as she flies around and hits Tirek with her hooves. "Care, yes, but when it came to the strongest of the fittest, only I will survive." Tirek remarks as he turns and back kicks Celestia a bit. "As for you, 'Spykoran', your friend is no longer around to keep you safe. Your death at my hands is guaranteed." "My friend wouldn't want me to give up because of his departure. He would want me to stop you no matter what!" King Spykoran roars as he fires a huge fire blast at Tirek, sending him across the ground hard. "Like so!" "You are old-fashioned!" Tirek snaps as he hits the dragon with his tail. "That's typical, coming from a monster of centuries past!" King Spykoran snaps sternly as he fires a few fireballs back at Tirek who knocks them away, "Horse apples!" Soon, the fight got some new fighters as Shining and his troops came in, yelling, "All right, time we send these Changelings and their masters out of Ponyville!" The guest yelps as he saw Shining, making him mumble, "Buck. I can't let Shiny see me." The figure then calls out to Luna. "Luna! Your guards know I'm alive, right?" "Yes, why," Luna asked the guest, puzzled. "I'm gonna have to defend the castle from Seto! Make sure Shining doesn't go back there." The guest said as he prepares to leave to return to the castle to avoid Shining seeing him. "Wait. Here's something from me." Luna said. The figure looks startled as the alicorn kiss him on the cheek, "For luck." The figure blinks and blushes a bit before heading out into the night. Megan, meanwhile, watches the fight between her adopted daughters and her friend against the villain. They are strong and putting up a good fight, but she has a terrible thing that the trio may not win against the monster. "Twilight, you think the princesses and King Spykoran can stand a chance?" Megan ask Twilight in concern. "I hope so...but if not, we may have to use the Elements to defeat Tirek." Twilight said seriously to Megan. "And hopefully Ben's own Elements can help us out." "Wait a minute, back up a step! Ben has Elements, too?" Megan asked in shock and amazement. "Yes, the Elements of Courage, Wisdom and Power as mentioned by the Moochick." Rarity explains to Megan with a smile. "The Moochick did mention of the one who shall wield that power, but I never thought that it would be Celestia's adopted son!" Megan exclaims in amazement. "Yeah. Awesome, huh?" Rainbow remarked with a grin. Megan hears a blast as she saw the alicorns hit the ground, making a huge hole. The girl ask in alarm, "Well, I hope you girls and Ben are prepared because I am not sure if Celestia, Luna and Spike, my Spike, can win!" "We got to have faith." Fluttershy said to Megan softly. "And if they fail, it would to be up to us." "I can only hope so." Megan said to herself softly and in concern. She cringes as Tirek delivers a punch in King Spykoran's jaw. "I really do." The ogres, meanwhile, kept on their own attacks as the ogre captain ends up sending out fumes from his butt (don't ask). He then grabs Golden Heart, exclaiming, "Ha! If I beat this guy out cold, the others following him will fall!" "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Golden Heart said to the captain as a paper airplane hits the ogre. "There, see?" The ogre captain takes the message, reading it, "'You mess with my Goldie, you're going to wish you have never been born.' Ha! I like to see whoever sent that try! That person is bluffing!" Suddenly, the ogre captain saw a smirk on Golden Heart's face. He turned and saw a shadowy figure, growling, "Your number just came up!" The ogre captain screams as he ends up fighting something of a scary picture. Let's say, be glad that no other ponies are seeing this. It's too crazy to explain here. A while later, the ogre captain screams and exclaims, "That's it! I'm outta here! This ain't worth it!" Golden Heart grins as he turns to the figure whose send the note, saying, "Nice job." "I know, no one hurts my Goldie!" The figure said with a smile on her face. "Keep on fighting him, sister!" Luna exclaims as she, Celestia and King Spykoran quickly send out blasts at Tirek who blocks with his own. "We mustn't give up." "I know! But..." Celestia cringes a bit. She yelps as a blast knocks the three heroes down to the ground. "Yes...I am stronger, than better even." Tirek said with an evil smile on his face. He then glances at the dragon formerly known as the original Spike, the one who was a pest to him. "And now, Spike, time to kill you off with the power of the Rainbow of Darkness!" "Grandpa!" Spike exclaims as he saw Tirek unleashing his Rainbow of Darkness at a weakened King Spykoran. The baby dragon jumps on his grandfather's stomach to unleash a counter move that holds back the energy's first wave. But even doing so, that Rainbow of Darkness would push further then the new Spike, and the little guy tries to protect his only family member while others watch. Then just as it looks like it would be the end for them, a familiar technique of flames aids Spike's attack to push the Rainbow of Darkness back, but during the moment, Spike looks to the side, and sees a strange cloak person with his hood down to prevent anyone from seeing the face. But during the release of flames from within the hood, Spike could almost make out imagines of what looks to be his deceased older brother; Lorcan. And during the confusion, the attacks of the rainbow and flames explode, canceling each other and blowing anyone around a bit backwards from the force. "What the--" Tirek shouted in shock. "Who did that?!" Chrysalis demands as she looks around while everyone clears down. But the one who aided Spike is no longer on the scene. "Bah, blast it all!" "It doesn't matter not," Tirek remarks with a scoff as he saw the Royal Sisters and King Spykoran right before him fallen. "These three has fallen...Eternal Night has come!" Tirek roars a bit as he waves a hand. The ponies gasps as a sinister palace appears, Tirek's own Palace of Darkness, he brought it back with his own sinister power! Suddenly a chariot appears out of mid-air, making Megan gasps in horror. It's the same one Tirek once rode when he tried to spread Eternal Night centuries ago...except now it's better than ever. Tirek then hooks his new dragons up as he announces to the ponies and the good dragons, "Let this be a lesson to those who wish to fight me! Death comes to those who interfere with Tirek! Let this be known as the day that Eternal Night reigns!!!" Some of the ponies tremble in fear as their home begins decaying and being ruined. Their princesses and King Spykoran has failed, even the good dragons find themselves outmatched. Megan exclaims, "We need the Elements of Harmony now!" Twilight comment, "Hopefully, between the three of them, they managed to take enough out of Tirek for us to finish the job." Tirek rode his chariot in the air, getting a bit exhausted. As it turns out, Celestia, Luna and Spykoran DID take enough out of Tirek. Hopefully Twilight and the others can be able to defeat him. "And now, ponies...prefer to watch as your sun gets blotted out forever!" Tirek exclaims to the worried ponies and their allies below. No one can stop him, his Rainbow of Darkness and his strength, along with his forces, has made him invincible. No one could... "Not so fast, Tirek," Twilight exclaims furiously. Tirek looks down and saw her and her friends wearing the most familiar of objects: the Elements of Harmony. "I believe it's our turn to fight." "Right, it's time to put a stop to you once and for all!" Rainbow exclaims sternly. "You got to be kidding me. You have no Rainbow of Light...and my Rainbow is ten times stronger than those trinkets you have." Tirek sneers sinisterly at the ponies. "What makes you think you have a chance?" "Besides we got friendship, something yew don't have!" Applejack snaps to Tirek in determination. "As long as we got one another, 'dat's enough." "And me as well!" Ben exclaims sternly as he glows a bit. "I got the Elements of Courage, Wisdom and Power, AKA the Triforce Element! You shouldn't try to mess with my daughter, Tirek!" "Or our parties," Pinkie growls to Tirek madly. "Your number just came up!" "And your fashion sense is centuries ago!" Rarity exclaims to Tirek in defiance, "Time to put both it and you out of your misery!" Soon the Mane Six were powering up the Elements of Harmony, the lights begin to flash a bit with sparkles. This was the slow beginning to what was soon to happen, however… "Oh no you don't! The Rainbow of Light may have changed, but I know its flaw lies in being used by others! Now behold!" Tirek appeared while preparing his familiar sack bag before the others. "The renewed power of Darkness…at its PEAK," Tirek's soon open his sack, and unleashed the Rainbow of Darkness to sweep downwards. Many saw this, and yet many could almost but do nothing but watch. As they soon saw it, the Mane Six & the Elements were soon getting inter-twine before the Rainbow of Darkness covered them all; encasing the ponies and their last hope. "Yikes!" Apple Bloom exclaims in worry. "Not good!" "Sis," Sweetie Belle exclaims as she tremble in horror. "That monster is going to turn them into dragons...or worst!" Cheerilee cries out in agony. "We're doomed!" Caramel groans in sadness. Even the ponies and dragons are fearing the worst. Tirek may have won... During the entire course, the Rainbow of Darkness soon finished what seemed to be the devouring of the Mane Six and the Elements of Harmony and soon stood upwards as a symbol of 'Infinity' with a sphere pulsating as if proclaiming it's unstoppable force of dark power. "Gwuhahahahaaaahhh," Tirek cackled out with a wicked smirk of trumpet victory, seeing the display of his win. "At long last, now the only light & six ponies are NO MORE! I've WON! Gwuhahahahahaaahhhh," The mad villain laughs out in insanity, seeing that long last, he's defeated the power that once beaten him. This looked to be it, it seemed that there was now no hope left and that Tirek's would regain the power to rule Equestria with an iron fist!…Or so it would seem. Just then, without any warning what so ever, the center within the 'infinity' shape Rainbow of Darkness…began to change with…pretty colorful lights. "Look! Our friends are fighting back!" Megan pointed out in renewing everyone's hope, and truth be told, it was so. From within the sphere, it was glowing pretty colorful colors to slowly spread out to cover the darkness, including the rest of the Rainbow of Darkness. "WHAT! It can't be!" Tirek exclaimed out with wide eyed surprise, seeing that his Rainbow of Darkness was losing…to this. Soon, the entire entity of what was once the Rainbow of Darkness was completely transformed into the Rainbow of Light. It spread itself around, and from within the sphere revealed the Mane Six, activating the Elements of Harmony to spread out their own rainbow to join the other. "Allow me to give you my power!" Ben exclaims to Twilight as he flew up next to her and the others of the Mane Six. He joins in too, using his OWN three elements to boost the power of the blast by fifty percent. "No! I won't be destroyed again! I will at least finish off one pony!" Tirek exclaims madly as he quickly fires a blast right at Nyx who is right on Big Macintosh's back...only for a blast from Twilight to cancel it right out. "No!" Twilight comments, "Not my daughter, you monster!" Pinkie commenting, "This is similar to when Molly Weasley delivered the final blow to Bellatrix LaStrange when the latter tried to kill Ginny in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows'. This time, we all are involved." Both rainbows were inter-twine in more harmony before stretching themselves forth towards the unnatural cause of evil disharmony; Tirek. Tirek could only watch as he rode within his chariot with his dragons as the two Rainbows soon were trying to intangible him. "No! No! GRAAUUUGH…NOT AGAAAAAAAIN," Tirek cried out and held up his arms in protest, he can't lose, not again, after so many centuries to return; not again! For a moment, it looks like he's fighting it back with what strength he has left. Lyra comment "The guy is powerful enough to defeat Celestia, Luna AND Spykroan all at once in a fair fight AND still have enough steam left to be on his feet following a fifty percent more powerful than usual blast from the Elements of Harmony. Talk about a tough -" "Krsisvhmm…Kurpowwwfruvhmmm…" Then without warning, a giant explosion of light flashed across Tirek's appearance as the others below duck down from the explosive wind pressure blowing their way as they hang on for something BIG. Tirek's palace of darkness was being devastated by the Rainbow of Light's power combined with the Elements of Harmony. "GRUUAARRAAAAUUGHHH…" Tirek made one last cry, he has the power of two rainbows united flew towards him once more, inducing him and his chariot of dark dragons in a spiraling light. Within the spiraling light, any who saw it was almost speechless, Tirek's body was de-crippling it's structure to dust, and soon when it reached its head, only his black pitch soul remained until… "NOUUARRUUAAAWWWHHH…" Yes, even the evil dark soul of Tirek was eviscerating from not one, but two powerful Rainbows forces that shredded the evil out of mere existence….this time, for keep sakes. Lyra comments, "Never mind." At this time, much of the Changelings that served Tirek were being pulled in to the Rainbow cyclone. "Oh no, oh no; what's happening," Ed yelped from trying to fly away, but the force was pulling him in. "Do you think it'll get us?" Fred asked his pal if this storm will get them, seeing that they are the targets. "Quickly, grab onto something!" Seto passed over the two in suggesting that they grab something to hold to not get sucked in. Too bad what came next was the Queen of the Changlings; Chrysalis as soon as she was under the others, Ed & Fred reached down to hold onto their queen, much to her surprise. "WAIT! NOT ME, YOU FOOLS!" Chrysalis yelped off to snap in annoyance, the message Seto meant was of solid, not of their own especially their queen. "MY QUEEN," Seto yelped to help aid Chrysalis, but soon the lack of flying away pulled them all and any Changeling into the Rainbow Cyclone. That just left one thing for them to do now… "WAAAHAAAA…/WAAHAAUAAGHUAAGH!, Yep, Fred and Ed were screaming their heads off as they, Seto, Chrysalis and all the Changlings soon vanished upwards in the Rainbow Cyclone. "Powwvhmmm…" And then as if reliving deja vu, a bright explosion blasted these guys off in different direction; it was the same thing that happened in the Canterlot Wedding Event. Now these followers of Tirek were now scattered and out of the picture. Soon after Tirek's defeat, the dragons that pulled his chariot were being swept into the cyclone storm. Many ponies on the ground looked up in surprise, the rainbow vortex was impacting the very dark cloudy skies, lightning and thunder clash out before it vanished completely until… "KURPOWVHMMM..." One mighty burst of implosive light, shines across all that were there to bear witness this feat. Some dragons on the ground fell back in yelping pain in the strange glow until….when the loud booming noise faded…they were turn into butterflies. And soon, even his created dark warriors from long again were bathed in the light that pained them until….they were changed back into innocent birds. Even the entire dark palace and structures surrounding what became Tirek's new rule of dominance...was changed too. The town returned to its appearance of beauty once more. By the last moment of miracles, the dragons of darkness that Tirek made to pull his chariot were falling from the skies as if unconscious. But then from their earlier glows, they returned to the ponies that were turned into dark dragons, AKA Celestia's critics. They were falling from the air while regaining their senses to know what was happening. However, there was no cause for panic, as they reached the ground, as if by some invisible magical force stopped them, some spin around in midair before gently tucking the firm ground. They were puzzled from what happened, but only knew that they were returned to their normal selves. It was only here, that the Mane Six and Ben soon landed on the ground, looking a bit tired out after their magical rainbow vanished soon after. Many of their friends and family came over to see if they were alright. "Are you all right?" Spike asks Twilight and the others in concern. "We're fine, Spike." Rarity said with a smile to Spike as she and the others got up. "My, that was tiring, wasn't it? Twilight comment, "Let this be a lesson; NEVER mess with my friends OR my family." "Right, some of our enemies learn this too well." Shining remarked to Twilight with a chuckle. "Look! Tirek's sack," Megan pointed up in spotting something falling from the skies..Truth be told, the sack fell on the ground near the human girl to which her puzzled mind went to pick it up. "Looky there; The Rainbow of Darkness now turned to Light!" Phobos pointed out something strange; one rainbow was still folicuring around like it was lost. The moon dragon knows that the Elements of Harmony's rainbow already disappeared when it did it's job, so why was there one more rainbow unaccounted for. Then without warning or know how, Megan held opened the sack and the new Rainbow of Light soon dives towards her. Soon before anyone knew it, the Rainbow had gone into the sack, which it glowed for a few moments before transforming its appearance. Soon within Megan's hands was a new red heart locket, only with a golden lining on the outside for the opening & closing. The human girl was in utter silence, not just her, but practically any other pony as well. Could this be….a 'New' Rainbow of Light, in this modern day of Equestria since the Elements of Harmony were still around? "Megan, is that what I think it is?" Celestia spoke when she and Luna approached their friend, being so completely puzzled in what they saw happened with Tirek's evil rainbow. "It is, it's a new Rainbow of Light. Maybe from that last display of the two…our friends strength was stronger than the darkness." Megan nods from holding the new Rainbow Locket and feeling a more warmer glow flashing from it, the same feeling from the Elements from the time she had them as one before they split into six. "So in short, from the Elements of Harmony that not only aided in conquering the Rainbow of Darkness…it changed it into the new Rainbow of Light!" Luna exclaimed out in nearly surprise wide-eyes to hearing this; they have…a new rainbow. "Right, that's what I think too. At least this way, all of Tirek's dark powers are gone." Megan nods with a smile while looking at the new locket, finding it almost hard to believe…this item was the holder to the Rainbow of Darkness, but now it's changed for the better. "That's amazing! Now we got two times the power of Rainbows on our side!" Spike responded with a big smile, if they have two magic rainbows, then they got double the power to protect their home from evil. "Indeed, if this was the past, I can't imagine how many other enemies would feel facing two Rainbows of Light instead of just one!" King Spykoran exclaimed off in agreement as he sees this as more surprising than anyone else. "And I feel this power should be safely kept in your hands, Megan." Celestia spoke from holding the new Rainbow Locket and presenting it to be around Megan's neck. "Really, are you sure?" Megan spoke in puzzling wonder as she held the locket up, wondering if she should do this. In the past, she was the holder when the old elements of Harmony were one, but is she okay to keep the second one? "We are sure, we have the Elements of Harmony, but if we are in need, we know of another power to reach…from the chosen wielder once again." Luna spoke with a brighten smile on her face, assuring Megan that she would be perfect to hold the new Rainbow of Light, as it would keep her safe from harm and those close to her and be used if the ponies are in need of their friend. "In that case, I promise to help whenever I can." Megan nods with a smile in happily accepting this task of being the keeper of the Rainbow of Light. In truth, it's just like the old days, only now the ponies have two powerful rainbows to help them in their aid of need. "Now that everything is settled, I do believe we have some late festivities to wrap up." Celestia spoke with a gentle tone in recalling where and what they were doing before all this craziness happened. "Wait, what happened to those ogres?" Derpy ask as she saw that the ogres are gone from sight as if they have run away or something. "Did we send them packing?" "Or ran away," Time Turner said seriously to Derpy. "I got a bad feeling that we may see them again." "Nyx," Twilight gasps as she gallops over to Big Macintosh to see if her daughter is all right. The unicorn nuzzles her daughter, speaking, "Nyx? Are you okay?" "Uhhhh....mommy, daddy," Nyx groans a bit as she wakes up, seeing Twilight and Ben, who trots up, nearby. "What happened? I feel like someone took me for a joy ride then parked me." "Its okay, Nyx, honey; you're safe now." Ben said with tears in his eyes. He and Twilight takes Nyx off Big Macintosh's back while hugging her. "Sssh. That monster that took you for that ride is gone." "Really; Is Mr. T gone?" "Gone for good," Twilight said with tears in her eyes, happy for her daughter safe and back to her sweet self. She then saw Megan and motions the human to come over. "Oh yes, I never introduce you earlier. Nyx, this is Megan, AKA the Mag'ne, the one who help teach the princesses everything they knew." "Yes, you could say that I'm their adopted mother." Megan said to Nyx with a smile as she pet Nyx gently. So this is the real daughter of Twilight and Ben. "Wait, if that's the case...since you are...GREAT GRANDMA MEGAN!" Nyx exclaims happily as she jumps into Megan happily, nuzzling the human a bit. She yelps and glares at Celestia, Luna and hte other ponies who chuckle a bit. "You were waiting for that to happen, did you?" The ponies laugh a bit. Despite that awkwardness, looks like things are back to normal.
