As the armor came crashing through the doors of the entrance hall Kit was startled out of his nap causing him to fall out of the night throne. “ By my father’s beard!! What was that!?” Kit got up and looked into the crystal only to be shocked at what he saw. “Wh-what? THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE!!!” just then the throne room doors where kicked in and Kit found himself looking at the group of very young adventures glaring at him.
“LET OUR PARENTS GO KIT!” Onyx yelled, as he stood in front of the rest of the group and glared at Kit. For several moments Kit stood slightly stunned, but then smiled as he tossed the crystal ball over his shoulder and started to walk down the stairs leading from the throne.
“I have decided to alter our deal.” Kit said, as he stood at the base of the stairs with his arms folded.
“You dirty cheat!” Rainbow Dash darted forward only to be frozen in mid air inches from Kit as he held out his hand.
“Please.” with a flick of his wrist Rainbow was thrown backwards and found herself being caught moments before she collided with a wall. “Oh how noble.” Rainbow opened her eyes and found her self in Shadow’s arms just before he set her on the ground and then stepped forward. “Seriously, you want to fight me? If you haven’t noticed yet you’re powerless as long as that helmet is on your head, you can’t cast spells you can’t even chant one right now.”
“What are you talking about?” Blueblood asked, confused by Kit’s boast. This got Kit to notice the slightly confused looks on the rest of the group.
“Oh you haven’t figured this out yet, have you? That iron mask that is on his head prevents him from using any of his magic, as well as chant a spell. In short the only power he has is with his own brute strength.” Kit held out both hands and formed two snow balls just before he threw them on the ground and two ice golems appeared and started to block Kit. “Then again the one thing about brute strength is that sooner or later you run into something that you can’t stop.” with that Kit vanished and appeared back at the thrones and had a seat. “So if you know what’s good for you run along you pathetic little pest.” To his shock the response he got was the foals not retreating but charging forward and decimating his ice golems prompting him to summon more to his aid. “YOU FOOLS!! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN WIN THIS!!?”
“WE REFUSE TO GIVE UP TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!” Rainbow yelled, as she dove down and kicked one of the golems in the face knocking it’s head off.
“WE’VE GONE THROUGH TO MUCH, TO TURN BACK NOW!!” Sunset yelled, as she and Trixie sent one of the golems flying backward and crashing into several others breaking them in half.
“AND WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL THEY OUR FREE!!” Onyx yelled, as he rammed a group of soldiers and knocked them down like bowling pins. Through all the chaos of the battle Kit lost track of Shadow, only to get spun around and given a devastating punch in the face sending him toppling down the throne stairs.
“ENOUGH!!” Kit yelled, getting everything frozen in place. As he got up and dusted himself off and rubbed his face as he looked at Shadow who had started to walk down the steps towards him. “YOU DARE STRIKE ME!!” Kit held out his hand and a golden staff appeared with a large blue gem sitting on the top, with a large curved blade enclosing it. “DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU ARE MY EQUAL!?!” Kit stormed up and glared at Shadow. “YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!!! I AM A GOD!!” Kit holds out his hand and Granny Smith is levitated in the air. “I control more then you can possible imagine.” Granny Smith slowly aged back to her normal elderly self. “I can make this pathetic old mare into a pile of dust, or I could just as easily make her so young that she would no longer exist.” Kit changes Granny Smith back to a foal and drops the frozen foal on the ground with no sign of remorse. Kit then levitates Rainbow Dash in front of them. “I could pluck every feather from this worthless excuse of glue stick, one by one.” a feather is pulled out getting a muffled scream from Rainbow as tears started to role down her face. “Or I could rip them all out at once.” Rainbow started to let out more muffled screams as it was clear some unseen force started to pull on each of her feathers. Kit then waves his hand and sent Rainbow flying backwards still frozen and crashing to the floor, before he turns and glares into Shadow’s eyes. “You think you can honestly beat me clan killer, you really think you stand a chance with no magic, to even come close to being my equal. You might have helped them get this far, you might have aided them to get past the castle’s protection, but the only thing you’ve done is lead them to a life time of pain and suffering, their cries of torment will fill these halls thanks to you.” Kit turned and levitated Onyx towards him. “Oh and don’t think I don’t know the weakness of this little freak, I know everything about his powers, I also know his weakness.” Onyx vanished only to appear once more on a rack and was soon followed by the other foals, each strapped down, horns capped, and wings restrained, as their flanks got raised up into the air. Only to have their brushes appear behind them ready to give each of them spankings. Kit only smiled as he kept looking at the foals now trapped, not noticing a faint red glow behind him. “I want you to remember this you pathetic little worm, you are nothing to me, you have never been anything to me, and never will be anything to me.” Kit started to go on but then jumped out of the way as he felt something slowly touching him, as he turned around he could see Shadow slowly moving as symbols on the iron mask started to blaze red. “Impossible, those runes should be preventing you from using your magic, and you can‘t possible be breaking my spells with out your magic.” Shadow took one staggering step forward as he started to go after Kit. “By my father’s beard, this can’t be happening; those runes predate your very species existence.” Shadow took another step forward. “THEY CAME FROM THE START OF TIME IT SELF YOU SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DO THIS!” In a fit of rage and confusion, Kit swung his staff hitting the iron mask and sending Shadow flying into a far wall crashing through it and leaving a gapping hole. “I knew it, powerless, completely powerless.” Kit turned to his captives once more and smiled. “If you choose to plead for mercy now I will listen.” Kit waved his hand and the foals started to struggle as they tried to break their bonds. “Well you ungrateful little whelps aren’t any of you going to thank me for letting you speak.”
“YOU MONSTER YOU NEARLY KILLED CHOMPER!!” Nightmare Moon yelled, as tears already started to form.
“That worthless weed, give me a break it betrayed me so I dealt with it like I would any traitor.”
“BUT IT WAS JUST A SAPPLING!!” Granny Smith yelled, as she tried desperately to get out of her bonds. “That little feller never hurt no one, and you decided to destroy it.”
“Please I didn’t kill the dumb thing, that would be far to quick, instead I decided to make it suffer, as we speak it’s barely holding on to life, let that sink in for the rest of you, as you say goodbye to sitting. Your friend Chomper is now dying because it decided to help you, and when I find out how you got past the clockworks I can promise you I’ll fix that problem as well, and last but not least your greatest help through this entire thing is helpless if not dead.” Kit reached down and pulled Nightmare Moon’s mane getting her to scream out as he glared at her. “And you should be far more worried about your fates then those that have already past.” Kit let go and started to walk away from the foals as his cloths changed to a dark green and a golden robe appeared above him then slowly lowered on him. “FROM THIS DAY FOURTH EQUESTRIA BELONGS TO ME!”
“YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS KIT WE WILL STOP YOU!!” Onyx yelled, as he tried to break his bonds but could fell that he no longer had his powers thanks to the kryptonite brush above him.
“Please you have nothing that can threaten me, I’ve already dealt with anything that could possible stand in my way of taking over this realm, and their all hanging right over their.” Kit pointed to the golden chandelier in the distance. “Except it you’ve lost, and for your failure, two of your friends will die this day, and you will each live a life of hardship and suffering, starting now.” with that the brushes started to come down but before any of them hit they got knocked out of the air by something that got stuck in the wall. “What?” Kit held out his hand and the strange artifact freed itself from the wall and slowly levitated over to him. “What is this?” Kit turned the strange chunk of metal one way then the other before seeing a strange symbol on it. “Oh no.” as the foals turned and looked at the hole as a playing card came flying out and freed them from their bonds then folded it self into a paper swan. “Oh this is not good.” the paper bird then let out a fait screech before bursting into flames and flew at the chandelier breaking the rope that held it causing it to fall and break freeing it’s captives, and reuniting them with their foals. “No, NO! NO! NO! NO! NOT WHEN I WAS THIS CLOSE!!! NOT WHEN I HAVE ALREADY WON I REFUSE TO LET THIS HAPPEN!!” Kit glared at the reunited families and then summoned several ice golems and weapons to aid him, but before the battle could start every creature’s attention was drawn to the iron mask sliding across the floor and bumping into Kit’s foot. As everyone slowly turned and looked at the hole Kit glared at it and then started to snarl as his anger slowly started to fill him. “YOU THINK I’M SCARED OF YOU!?!” No answer came from the hole as Kit summoned ice armor around him. “YOU’RE STILL WORTHLESS!!”
“I’m going to give that punk a piece of my mind.” Spitfire said, as she started to make a move towards Kit but was stopped as Luna extended her wing in front of her. “Princess? I demand satisfaction he put not only my two sweet little ones endanger he also threatened to take over Equestria.”
“I agree, that brute should be locked away in one of his own crystal gems.” Rarity added, getting most of the parents and foals to agree.
“And he hurt Chomper mommy, and Sly got a splinter and.”
“I understand that my little moon, and all of you I do understand what you wish to do right now, but trust me when I say our captor is most defiantly about to get what’s coming to him.” with those words it started, not loud at first, no it was soft, just a very faint tapping sound. (*TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP*) over and over with only a second between groups. “Oh he is most certainly going to get it.” Luna then looked down and smiled at Sly. “My brave little Sly can you do mommy a favor?” with that Sly smiled and Luna used her magic had a quill and parchment appear wrote something down while the tapping continued, and then handed it to Sly. “Now here is what I want you to do.” with that Luna whispered something into Sly’s ear getting the little fox to node, before Luna teleported him away.
“Sister where have you sent Sly?”
“To get a naught little trouble makers parents.” Luna said, as she scowled at Kit who was in full ice armor and glaring at the hole in the wall, only showing slight signs of being on edge.
“SHOW YOUR SELF CLAN KILLER!!! I DEMAND YOU FACE ME!!” The tapping stopped, and the throne room went so quite you could hear a strand of loose hair fall from Nightmare Moon’s mane fall and hit the floor.
“You demand me to face you, am I to understand you demand to fight?” the foals all turned to the hole as did the adults shocked at the voice that came from the hole. All except Luna, who’s smile only grew bigger, as her assumptions had just been proven.
“It can’t be him.” Spitfire said, as she kept her eyes locked on the hole in the wall.
“But that voice it has to be.” Fluttershy added, as she looked at the just as shocked.
“But it just can’t be, it’s not possible.” Twilight said, as she shook her head several times.
“But then that means the person that’s been helping us all this time.” Night-mist stopped as he looked at his brother in shock.
“I know bro, I’m just as confused as you.”
“But how, how in Equestria can it possible be him?”
Everyone watched in shock as a figure emerged from the hole in the wall, they couldn’t believe their eyes at what they where looking at. Dressed in a white tuxedo with a cape lightly flapping behind him, that covered his fox like tail, stood someone they never expecting to be fighting for them this day. As he emerged from the whole and kept walking, he held out one hand for a card to appear before throwing it on the ground at Kit’s feet getting a magical seal to appeared and surround both of them locking them into small area preventing ether one from leaving.
“I hope you’re paying attention, because this is where things are going to get really interesting.”
“KIT?” everypony said, in shock as they looked at Kit dressed in the white tux now standing against the one in ice armor.
“I knew it.” Luna said to herself as she watched on at the two facing off in the middle of the magical seal. While the other ponies looked on in a mixture of shock and confusion, which one was the real Kit, which one would win this fight, and most of all how did this happen? All the while the two remained locked in a standoff, the one in the ice armor ready to pounce at the slightest movement, the other calmly glaring at him. The one thing the on lookers could agree upon, was that things where about to get interesting.
