	"I will not be taken so lightly." Luna said to herself. Celestia looked to her sister in a bit of worry, and was about to speak, before Luna shouted."Guards, attack!"
The shout from princess Luna spurred the guards into action. They rushed at Asura, the Pegasi and Earth ponies each preparing respective forms of attack while the Unicorns stayed behind to use their spells.
Asura, with not a moment of hesitation, let out a yell of rage. The first pony to approach him prepared to ram him, set him off balance for his allies to close in for another attack. His attack never connected, in fact, he didn't even get the chance to get close. Asura ran to him, stunning the ponies around him with his speed, before grabbing the pony by the helmet, the golden material bending under the strength of his clawed hand. He lifted him up and spun him around before he threw the pony at at a nearby Pegasus in the sky.
Said pegasus fell to the earth with a thud, and it wasn't long until more Earth Ponies charged at the angered being. Asura grabbed one intending to do the same thing he had done before, only now he felt a small itch come across his back. He looked back to see an Earth Pony, post buck and looking at him with determined eyes. The look vanished the moment he was grabbed as well.
He slammed the ponies in his together, knocking them out cold. With a tell, he turned to thrwo them at more pegasi, only to find none in the direction he looked. He felt it again, that slight itch was now at the back of his head. He turned to see an orange pagausus with many pegasi charging from behind. He dropped the two unconcius ponies in his hands sent a punch straight for her. She was down the moment his fist made contact. He roared before rushing at those who were charging at him.
"Luna!" Celestia exclaimed whilst approaching her sister. "We both know that the guards cannot stop him. Get to Twilight and her friends, and prepare the spell. I'll distact the beast."
"With the elements with the Tree of Harmony, I hope thou's spell works sister." Luna said, agreeing with Celestia. 
Celestial teleported to Twilight. "Celestia!" Her former student surprise.
"Twilight, I need you and Rarity to help me charge a spell, while applejack, Pinkiepie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy protect us while we do."
All the ponies in question nodded, accepting their roles. While this was happening, Luna had gone to confront Asura. So far she was firing magic blasts from her horn. While the blasts were powerful, and could certainly obliterate anything they touch, they only seemed to make him stumble. Asura turned towards Luna, before rushing at her. Luna could not react to his speed, and soon she found an irojngrip around her neck. She was brought face to face with the wrathfull being before her, staring into its white hot eyes. She found herself thrown into the air, spinning uncontrollably. She was able to right herself and look back to where the creature was before, only to find a circle of royal guards looking up in panic.
She felt as if something was wrong. "Where is it?" She asked herself.
She felt the fur on her back stand up, and turned to look in the sky. Above her, covered in some kind of red energy, was the creature. And it was driving for her with its hand pushed outward and clenched. It was like a meteor coming down towards her. He was too close, she couldn't move, she would be hit either way. However, as he was about to make contact with the Princess of the Night, he was hit with a magical beam from below. It wasn't much, but it was just enough to move off course just a bit. His malice filled eyes looked to the source to see a battalion of unicorn guards, all aiming their glowing horns at him.
It was like a thousand cannons being fired at once. The beams of magic moved fast towards the falling Asura, before impacting with a loud explosion, smoke filling the air at the point of impact. The Unicorns on the ground cheered, thinking they had beaten what was hurting on of their princesses. However, that was short lived when said creature landed on the ground, startling them all. 
Asura's anger filled eyes turned on the Unicorns surrounding him, before lunging at them with a yell. Luna looked towards her sister. "Is thou's spell done, Sister?!"
Celestia, along with Twilight and Rarity, had her horn glowing as she charged hr spell. "We're as ready as we can be Luna! You just need to get him in our sights!"
Luna nodded, before turning back to Asura. She saw him tearing through the guards with ease. She glared at the beast, before she flew off high into the sky. She turned mid-flight, going back down towards Asura, getting faster and faster as she flew downwards. She held her front hooves out in front of her as she got closer. Asura turned towards her just in time to feel the impact  of Luna, before being pushed away from her.
Luna, after pushing him a great deal away from the guards, gave the signal to celestia before backing off. Celestia, without a moments hesitation, fired a magical beam with the help of Twilight and Rarity. The beam soared through the air at such speeds that many could not follow it movements. However, they could see it his Asura. The beam impacted Asura with enough power to produce enough force, that even the guards around him were pushed back. 
Asura was doing his best to fight against it. However, even his power was only enough, and when the beam died down, Celestia, Luna, and everypony with them were treated to a curious sight. The beam struck the chest of Asura, and while not enough to injure him, it did do something. Where the beam struck was a small area of peach colored skin, slowly being covered up by once again the black, armor-like skin.
If possible, his eyes seemed to burn even brighter with rage. He roared once again before charging at his assaulters.
