Wolf and the gang arrived at the Crystal empire by teleporting in front of the castle. Litestar and Wolf both fell to the ground from using to much magic. Rush went next to them both to check on them.
"Are they going to be ok?" Asked Twilight worried about Wolf
"Yeah they'll be just fine. Just tired from using so much magic to teleport all of us here." Said Rush picking up Litestar
"Sev get Wolf we need to bring them inside." Said Rush
Sev was about to pick up Wolf but he became incase in a purple aura of magic.
"I'll take him inside. He is my responsibility." Said Twilight
"Actually he's not your responsibility, he's my." Said Rush
"What are you talking about? He's my personal guards." Said Twilight
"Yes your personal guard which means your his responsibility but he is under my commend which means he's my responsibility. So give him to Sev so we can take them inside." Said Rush losing his patience.
"No I will carry him in to make sure he's ok." Said Twilight
Rush sighed "You know it's easy to make a unicorn or alicorn in this case stop using their magic by hitting their horn in the right place." Rush looked at Twilight with a glare "Rainbow Dash do it."
Twilight went to look at Rainbow but now she was right in front of her. Rainbow lift her right hoof and tapped Twilight's horn in the middle which shut off her magic and force her to drop Wolf on Sev's back.
"Ow! What was that for?" Asked Twilight rubbing her horn with a hoof
"Since he's correct Twilight. Wolf is not responsibility, your his and how much I hate having Rush around to protect me. He is correct we are their responsibility." Said Rainbow
Twilight was shocked in what Rainbow just said. This prideful Pegasus was throwing away her your pride to just make a point.
"Rainbow Dash I thought you were the element of loyalty? So why are going against me and siding with Rush?" Asked Twilight
"Since he's correct Twilight. Being loyal doesn't mean I always side with you. Sometimes being loyal is helping your friends see the truth and that's what I'm doing." Said Rainbow
Twilight now fully understood what Rainbow was doing and all she could say back to Rainbow now was "Thank you."
"Hey what are friends for." Said Rainbow
They then heard Litestar "Rush get us inside before we take away the heart." Said Litestar before fainting
"You heard her Sev, lets get inside." Order Rush
The group went inside the castle and Rush and Sev put both wolves on the floor.
"You guys might want to stand back." Said Rush
"Why?" Asked Applejack
Before anyone could answer her, Wolf's and Litestar's bodies started to glow and the light in the castle started to fade. The mane six were wondering what was happening and why was all the lights going off. Finally the lights came back on and the wolves bodies stop glowing. The two sibling woke up and started to stand.
"Did we faint?" Asked Wolf
"Yes you both used up all your magic to teleport us here." Said Rush
"Where is here exactly?" Asked Litestar
"The Crystal empire castle or to be exact, you guys teleported us right outside the doors." Said Rush
"Damn we were aiming for the throne room." Said Wolf
"Did we start the recovery process outside?" Asked Litestar
"No we bought you guys in just in time so you wouldn't drain from the heart." Said Rush
"Good that would have been bad if we drained that power." Said Wolf
"Wait what just happen!?" Asked Rainbow
Everyone was quiet now wondering what did just happen.
"Do you know what happen Azrael?" Asked Fluttershy
"Some what I still don't fully understand it but I bet Litestar will explain." Said Azrael towards Fluttershy
"So what did just happen darling?" Asked Rarity
"Well that's depends, do you understand how your magic or light magic works?" Asked Litestar
"Yes our magic or as you call it light magic works by the user will to learn the spell. His or her will is put into the spell and that's how strong it will be." Said Twilight
"Exactly by your will but that requires you to use your energy." Said Litestar
"Yes our bodies are link to our magic." Said Twilight
"So you lose your energy and become weak when you use it too much." Said Litestar
"Yes we do." Said Rarity
"Exactly the same thing just happen to us but since dark magic is powered by your emotions when you faint it does something called recovery that takes the energy around us and gives us that energy to our body." Said Litestar
"Why does it do that?" Asked Pinkie
"So that the magic can keep feeding off at our emotions." Said Lightning
"Wait I thought dark magic feeds off hate and sadness." Said Twilight
"That's when you lose control of yourself to the dark magic but if you learn to control it, it can be useful for anything." Said Litestar
"Alright since your done explaining it's time to move on." Said Rush
The 12 of them all rushed to the throne room to see the plan of attack in this case. When they enter, they were greeted with Shining wearing his royal guard outfit and Cadance wearing crystal gold armor with pink on it that covered her with a golden crystal helmet. Cadance was holding a crystal bow as a weapon and Shining had a crystal sword.
"Shining, Cadance why are you guys dressed like that?" Asked Twilight
"Since King Sombra is leading the enemy troops and this is what the crystal rulers use to wear before Sombra took over." Said Shining
"But that means you guys are going to fight." Said Twilight
"Yes it does Twilight but we need to protect our kingdom." Said Cadance
"But you could die." Said Twilight worried for her brother and his wife
"So why do you think they're here Twilight." Said Shining pointing to the elites
"Since they have to protect us." Said Twilight
"No Twilight your wrong on that. Rush why are you guys here?" Asked Shining
"To steal all the crystals here and sell them on the market." Said Wolf sarcastically
"Wolf don't be asshole. We're here to fight." Said Rush
Twilight was shocked that the elites came here on orders to fight. She thought after the battle in Canterlot that they were just meant to guard.
"So your fine with them throwing their lives away but not us to protect this kingdom." Said Shining
"No I'm not! I'm not fine with anyone fighting! I don't get it why things have to be this way! Why can't everyone get along!" Twilight said with tears
Wolf came up behind Twilight and hugged her.
"We came here to end this enemy Twilight. The elites will not let any of your siblings fall to death." Said Wolf still holding a crying Twilight
Everyone was shock to see Wolf being so kind to somebody. They decided to let Twilight continue her crying into Wolf chest. Finally Twilight stop crying and lifted herself up.
"Feeling better?" Asked Wolf
Twilight nodded her head with a weak smile.
"Good. Now Shin....." A giant explosion was heard that cut off Wolf
"What just happened?" Asked Azrael
"Loin bomb by the sound of it." Said Sev
A guard rushed into the throne room.
"What happen out there Sentry?" Asked Shining
"The south quarter was bombed by the enemy troops sir." Said Flash Sentry
Two more explosion happen after Flash gave Shining the report.
"What's happening now?" Asked Shining
"Two more loin bombs." Said Sev
"Honey you might want to come here." Said Cadance from the balcony
Shining and the rest of the group went to the balcony to see what Cadance want. When they arrived by Cadance they saw smoke from the east, west, south quarter of the empire.
"Looks like they were Loin bombs." Said Sev
"How can you tell?" Asked Applejack
"Since I'm the demolition expert on our team." Said Sev
"Well how bad is the damage?" Asked Cadance worried about her civilians
"They can destroy an entire building which by the look of the smoke here that's what they did." Said Sev
"Quickly we need men down there stat." Said Shining
"I agree. Rainbow and Azrael your with me, we got the south quarter." Said Rush
"Sev, Applejack and I will take the east." Said Litestar
"That leaves me and Speedy with the west." Said Wolf
"Wait what about Cadance and I?" Asked Shining
"Your here." Said Rush
"What no we are fighting." Said Cadance
"Yes you guys are but you need to lead and protect the castle. Since if this fall all of the crystal empire will be in despair." Said Wolf
"But we should be leading our troops on the front lines." Said Shining
"No plus enemies will be coming here." Said Rush
Right when he said that a group of enemies came into the throne room. Cadance turned around and shoot to arrows into one of the enemies. Shining and Flash both stab another with their weapons and Wolf blew the rest away with his lightning powers.
Cadance was now looking at the body she just killed and notice it was a Pegasus pony that she killed. Shining and Flash both killed an earth pony while the rest just were fallen prey to Wolf. Cadance looked towards the group and couldn't speak for awhile.
"Your first kill is the worst." Said Wolf breaking a silence
Cadance looked at Wolf with sad eyes while Flash and Shining just continue to stare at the earth pony they killed.
"The first creature you kill will always stay with you. You might forget the others but the first will always be in your dreams and where ever you look." Said Wolf with a cold tone
"Well it doesn't matter now. We've already killed them, we knew what we were doing when we attacked." Said Cadance with a cold tone that sent shivers down Wolf's spine
Everyone was shocked what Cadance just said, especially Shining knowing that he's been keeping a dark secret from his wife.
"That was pretty dark to say Cadance. That not like you, Princess of love." Said Wolf with a grin
"Sometimes you have to kill to protect the ones you love." Said Cadance
"Where the hell is Speedy and Pinkie?" Asked Rainbow
Everyone looked around until they got a mental message from Speedy.
"Rush, Pinkie and I headed to the east quarter since something doesn't feel right there. Send Applejack, Sev, and Litestar fast." Said Speedy telepathic
"Wait but that leaves Wolf with the west by himself." Said Sev
"It's better to leave him to it since if he goes full out we'll have that cleared and he'll be able to comeback to the castle to back up Shining and Cadance there." Said Speedy
"Did you already do a full scouting?" Asked Azrael
"Yes that's why I know all of this now hurry up. Speedy out." Said Speedy
"Alright you heard her report lets get to it." Said Rush as he took into the sky with Rainbow and Azrael
Litestar teleported Sev and Applejack to the east quarter with her.
"Alright I'll on my way then." Said Wolf
"Wait I'm coming with you." Said Twilight
Everyone was shock to hear Twilight say that she was coming.
"No your not." Yelled Shining
Everyone turned to look at Shining to see his eyes filled with rage.
"Why not Shining?" Asked Twilight
"Since your my little sister. I will not allow you to go get yourself killed or become a killer." Shouted Shining
"So you and Cadance can fight but I can't?" Asked Twilight
"Yes since you are the element of magic. The one the can never be corrupted or else all the other elements will be too." Said Shining
"But I'm a princess and if all the other royal family is fighting. I should be too!" Said Twilight
"I will not""Shining stop!" Order Rush
"Rush you can't be serious." Said Shining with a shock expression
"She will have Wolf with her. She wont die but I can't promise she won't take a life." Said Rush
"Plus we both know the truth about the elements. Shining." Said Wolf with an evil grin
Shining gave Wolf an evil glare to make sure he won't anything that will give them away.
"So don't worry I'll protect her on my honor as a wolf and warrior." Said Wolf with a big smile
Shining sighed "You always did make promises that you keep. Fine but you better protect her like she's one of your kin."
"Deal and Flash." Flash pointed his hoof at him self when Wolf said his name "Yeah you, your coming with me."
"Alright sir." Said Flash
Rush left with his group flying towards the south quarter while Wolf and his group went down stairs for the exit of the castle to head to the west quarter.
As Wolf left the throne room "Don't worry Shining we both know that the elements were created with dark magic and I would never tell your secret."
"I know just don't let her get hurt." Said Shining
"I won't." Said Wolf under his breath as the throne room doors closed
Wolf, Twilight, and Shining got out of the castle pretty fast. When they were outside they saw the east quarter covered in flames. The south was just as bad but the west seemed like their was little forces there and the north wasn't touch.
"I see why they needed all the help they could get in the east." Said Flash
Two griffins flew after a crystal pony with their crossbows shooting him. The crystal pony saw he was coming up to the castle and saw princess Twilight there. The pony stop really quick and hoof punch one griffin in the throat and taking his crossbow. The pony then shot the other griffin with the crossbow he just stole.
The crystal pony ran towards Wolf and his group.
"Flash sir, they came in from the west fast and quick. They're tearing though our men." Said the crystal pony
"Alright you go up inside the throne room and help protect Shining and Cadance while we take on the enemy." Said Wolf
"Sorry but I don't take orders from you." Said the crystal pony
"Well now you do." Said Flash "So go do what he says."
"Yes sir. Right away sir." Said the crystal pony
The crystal pony went inside the castle and to the throne room. Wolf and his group went to the west quarter. When they arrived they saw a moving a shield with enemy troops firing from it.
"I see why now Speedy says I should go full on out." Said Wolf
"Why that's a one way shield that allows them to attack us but we can't attack them." Said Twilight
"It's impossible unless we go inside the shield but even then we'll be mowed down before getting close to the unicorn with that spell up." Said Flash
"Yeah its usually is impossible with light magic but I'll take that unicorn out in one hit." Said Wolf
Twilight looked at Wolf and saw his eyes as predators now. All of sudden Wolf took a stance and wind started to build inwards towards him.
"What's going on?" Asked Flash
"I don't know but a larger magic energy is coming from him." Said Twilight
Wolf then lifted his mouth up in the air. He then swinging his head to the front which stop the air still and then a beam of electricity shot from Wolf's mouth and the air around him pushed outwards. A puma saw a beam come after them and he just smiled knowing the shield would block it.
The puma saw the beam hit the shield but then the spell broke and the beam shot though the puma's chest and every creature behind him. The beam shot through the group and into a crystal building before dying down.
"What was that?" Asked Twilight
"Just my railgun spell. It's as powerful as Celestia solar beam but instead of heat my is electricity." Said Wolf
"So how did you know where the unicorn was." Asked Flash
"I didn't I just knew my spell will destroy it." Said Wolf
"So now what?" Asked Twilight
"We charge!!" Said Wolf
With that yelled all the crystal ponies and USN troops attack the west forces now with even ground. The two forces were fighting each other with everything they had. Eventually a puma came out with a Chainsaw sword after Wolf and Twilight.
Twilight shot a magical beam at the puma. The puma lifted his sword and the beam was reflected back to Twilight. When Wolf saw Twilight hit the ground he used his lightning to attack the puma. The puma swing his sword at the lightning making it redirect back to Wolf. Wolf hit the ground by Twilight.
"Ahhh now I knows how it feels to be hit with my lightning." Groaned Wolf
"Yeah and my magic." Twilight groaned
Wolf saw the puma ready to strike down on them.
"Watch out!" Wolf yelled as he kick himself off of Twilight to push them away
Wolf rolled back on to his feet and attack the puma. Twilight slowly got to get hooves and saw that she started to glow. When the glow died she was left with a mark on her shoulder.
"What is this?" Asked Twilight
"It's a magical mark that increases your magic output." Said Wolf as he jumped off the puma
"So my magic is stronger your saying." Said Twilight as she dodge the puma
"Yes you understand." Said Wolf as he took his sword out
Wolf went toe to toe against the puma's chainsaw sword with his sword. Wolf moved out of the way as Twilight shot a beam at the puma. The puma used his sword to block the shot but it lift the sword a little. Wolf took the chance to try and stab the puma but the puma had fast reflexes and hit Wolf with his other hand getting a yelp of pain out of him.
Twilight became angry and used a spell that hit the puma and sent him flying into a building. The puma was now stuck under ruble from the building and couldn't move. Twilight picked up his chainsaw sword ready to stab him with it. Before she could stab him with all of her hatred she was stop by Wolf.
"You don't want to do that." Said Wolf
"Why not he hit you!" Said Twilight with anger
"Since I will not have you kill out off hatred." Said Wolf
He then went on to kiss Twilight on lips.
"I will not have the mare I love turn into a killer like me." Said Wolf
Twilight then lowered the Sword into Wolf's paw. Wolf held the chainsaw sword in his paws with a firm grip.
"Haha you think you won." Said the puma
"No this was too easy at least in the west." Said Wolf
"Are you saying this was a trap?" Asked Twilight
"No I'm saying this was all a distraction since here king Sombra isn't leading and last he was seen was here on the west quarter." Said Wolf
"Haha your alot smarter than Fenrir put you." Said the puma
"So then where is Fenrir then." Said Wolf
"Your smart you can figure it out." Said the puma
Wolf thought about it and realized that there was one place that they could sneak in.
"Flash! Twilight! We're heading to the north quarter." Said Wolf
"Why?" Asked Flash as he stabbed a wolf with his spear
"Since I believe they are in trouble." Said Wolf
The three of them started to make there way north in till the puma spoke one last time.
"The empire will fall! It will belong to king Som....." The chainsaw sword was thrown into his head
"No it won't." Said Wolf now not holding sword
"Why did you kill him?" Asked Twilight
"I did it cause he pissed me off. Now lets go." Said Wolf as three ran towards the north quarter
At the east quarter
"How many are there?" Asked Applejack as she kick two enemies in the face
"I know it's seems like they don't stop coming." Said Litestar as she stab one
"Now you see why Speedy and I came here as fast as we could." Said Pinkie as she shot her party cannon
"Yeah it seems like they are just soulless soldiers." Said Sev
In the south quarter
Azrael just took down a Pegasus with his tail blade. Rainbow just snap a griffins head while rush stab a Pegasus and shot a wolf in the head.
"Something doesn't feel right." Said Rainbow
"I know what you mean Rainbow." Said Rush
They then heard yelling as they saw three Pegasus flying with what look like bombs on them. Rush took aim with his sniper to take one of them out making that Pegasus explode in mid air. One of the Pegasus did a dive towards Rush and Azrael threw a knife into his wing to spin him off course.
The Pegasus flew straight towards Rainbow. Rush notice this and flew towards Rainbow and grabbing her right before the Pegasus hit her. The Pegasus exploded and injured Rush to become unconscious on top of Rainbow.
Back at the castle
Cadance and Shining now had six guards with them. They all were looking over a map of the city seeing how much was destroyed and wondering why the north was attacked yet.
"Shining are you ok?" Asked Cadance
"No I don't understand what they are doing." Said Shining
"You'll figure it out I bet." Said Cadance
"I hope I do soon or else we might have to evacuate the empire." Said Shining
"Lets hope its doesn't come to that." Said Cadance
Their was a moment of silence till one of the guards spoke.
"What is that?" Asked The guard
Cadance and Shining looked and realized it was an enemy Pegasus with a bomb strap to him. Cadance quick bought up her now to shoot the Pegasus down but once she got the arrow it was too late. The Pegasus now flew into the throne room and exploded.
