Chapter 20, Eschate Zumulus, Part 2

Princess Twilight next asked Shysage for the page that included the words she said in the dream that actually brought Eschate Zumulus down to her.

Shysage pulled it out and gave it to her.

Princess Twilight then walked into the center of the clearing. This was the place Princess Twilight was, according to Summer's dream.

Please girls, stay back until I call you.

According to the dream, Princess Twilight had said 9 words, and these words called Eschate Zumulus.

As Shysage looked on in amazement, Princess Twilight slowly began to read those same words, but in the reverse order. She said them all loudly. Not screaming, just loud.

"Friendship"

Princess Twilight slowly read the next five. These were the 'Elements of Harmony' of Princess Twilights girls.

"Kindness..."

"Loyalty..."

"Generosity..."

"Laughter..."

"Honesty..."

Shysage realized what she was doing. This wasn't 'incantation' at all, Princess Twilight was just trying to goad one of the enemies of Equestria to appear...

"Goodness"

Princess Twilight was taunting Eschate Zumulus...

Princess Twilight was daring him to show his face...

"Peace"

Princess Twilight was saying all the words she knew he hated, to draw him forth to battle...

Princess Twilight was issuing a challenge...

"Justice"

...

...

...

It worked...


A dense fog immediately engulfed the entire clearing...

"Girls come, twin up, hoof to hoof. We need the group link now." Princess Twilight said calmly.

"Summers, get on whatever side Phantasma is on, and keep her out of action until we are done."

A loud, hair-raising, piercing scream rang out, lasting for over a minute.

The Elements of Harmony that had embedded themselves into the Equestria ponies' Cutie Marks after Sunset Shimmer's defeat, sensed the approach of enemies of Equestria, and quickly rose back out, and simply hovered, slowly rotating, maybe a few inches above the heads of each of the six Equestria ponies.

Each crystal then quickly duplicated, and the second one floated over the correct Equestria Girl's heads as well. There were now 12 crystals. Each of the Equestria Girls had their own 'Element of Harmony' crystal now too.

Once the Group Link was active, a faint, light, 12 pointed star blinked in, with the points of the star touching the bottom of each crystal.

Eschate Zumulus and Phantasma slowly began to rise out of the ground, in outline form first.

Phantasma was on the left, and the Phantom Alicorn quickly moved to face her. Equestria Girls Summer simply kept her hand in her Twin's back. Equestria Girls Summer's Cutie Mark was actually spinning now too. The Phantom Alicorn felt this added boost.

Once the monster's feet were maybe 20 feet off the ground, they both materialized fully in, then fell to the ground with a crash.

Both growled fiercely.

Next, Eschate Zumulus roared "NO! YOU WON'T!!!"

Princess Twilight calmly answered "Yes, we will."

Both Eschate Zumulus and Phantasma started casting in unison.

The Phantom Alicorn body slapped the full height of both of them, knocking them both over backwards, and stopping their casting.

The Phantom Alicorn next coated both of them with ice, locking them solid. Summer knew the ice would soon melt.

The Phantom Alicorn next motioned a small cup shaped shield down over Phantasma, crushing her brutally to the ground. She couldn't move, she probably couldn't even breath.

Princess Twilight was talking to her Twin. "Ok Twilight, let's cast a simple spell that creates a loud acoustic 'Pop' sound. Use the link for the details if you need to, let's go." Princess Twilight said softly.

Eschate Zumulus was back up now.

Both Twilights cast together.

With this, a magical conduit, the exact shape and diameter of the star linking the "Element of Harmony' crystal bases, snaked up, then across, and ended directly in front of Eschate Zumulus.

He growled at it then started casting hinself.

The 'loud pop' sound was greatly amplified by the magical conduit...

...and Eschate Zumulus simply exploded backwards away from the end of the conduit...

The explosion ripped his body into thousands of tiny pieces... ...bone... ...hair... ...skin... ...tissue... ...teeth... ...blood...

Pieces of Eschate Zumulus' body exploded over maybe 3 square miles of the Everfree, and the area nearby was drenched in blood.

"Ok Twilight, lets cast a simple spell that makes a bright flash of light. Again, use the link if you need to" Princess Twilight again said softly.

They both cast together.

Once this cast was complete, it looked like a billion fire-flies shot out of the end of the conduit, and raced away.

It wasn't fire-flies, it was just fire...

A billion tiny tongues of fire raced madly away from the conduit. Each small fire homed in on a specific piece of Eschate Zumulus's body... A bit of hair here... A chunk of bone here... A drop of blood...

Each of these billions of small fires found their piece of the monster and rapidly consumed it.

For maybe thirty seconds, those three square miles of the Everfree looked to be ablaze...

When each fire had consumed their piece of Eschate Zumulus, they simply went out, causing no other damage to the Everfree.

After maybe thirty more seconds, the fire was gone, and the forest looked like nothing had ever happened.

Eschate Zumulus was... ...gone...


"Ok Summers, kill Phantasma please" Princess Twilight said calmly.

Summer did what she did in her dream. The Phantom Alicorn added Fire-balls under the shield, and rapidly burnt Phantasma to death. The seventh fireball thrown under the shield simply went out, and Phantasma was dead.

Summer again punched a 20 foot hole in the ground with Phantasma's remains at the bottom, and threw a fire-ball in to finish it off.

Dethwell...


Princess Twilight next broke the group link, then said calmly "Ladies you are all amazing, I couldn't have done it without each of you. Take a break and link up, you have all earned it. Take your time, we are in no rush."
