I was flying throught Equestria for a good thirty minutes now and I was getting closer to Ponyville. I was noticing a few black clouds above me. I decided to fly closer to the ground to lower the chances of being struck by lightning.

'Winter be careful these clouds were not made by Pegasi it was made by a magical spell.'

Hmm so either a Unicorn want to make the job of a Pegasus or somepony is setting a trap. Just as I thought that a bolt of lightning headed straight to me. I escape the hit just in time. Few that was way too close for comfort.

Just as I said that dozens of bolt of lighnting came after me one after the other. I escape most of them but one of them was just too quick for me to escape and I was forced to create a spiritual shield.

It protected me from being electrocuted but the impact was so heavy that I was sent crashing down on the ground.

This storm is insane! Just as I was about to make a run for it to find a shelter a deep male voice spoke. "So you're the filly that help to defeat The Collector, Muerto Titiritero and made the mission lead by Ayagi fail. I must say I was expecting more."

I turned around and saw a giant white wolf grinning confidently at me.

"Who the heck are you and are you the one who made this storm?"

'Winter! Be extremely careful about this guy!'

Why? I mean yes he's a wolf and he probably has some sort of magic but apart from that he doesn't seem to have anything special.

'Winter this is not just anyone! This wolf is a god I can feel it! Which mean whatever you do against him will be useless in the long run!'

Before I could ponder on that the wolf began to talk. "To answer your questions Yes I am the one who made the storm as for who I am..." He showed me his paw on it was a sign I was all too familiar with, a blue infinity symbol. "I am Infinitus God of Lightning and captain of the Soul Reapers."

I growled at that new.

Infinitus looked unimpressed. "You know when we sent our men in Equestria we thought they had nothing to worry about at first. But time and time again you have been a torn in our side."

"And I won't stop until all of you are dead!" I screamed back at him.

Infinitus actually laughed at my declaration. "Oh don't flatter yourself, I just said you were a torn in our side. You never and never will be an actual threat, in fact the little squad you killed earlier have all been reborn thanks to the Shards of Life in our possession."

"Bringing back dead people is against nature!"

Infinitus huffed in response. "Don't pretend you wouldn't bring back your precious lover if you had the chance, yes we know about her it's such a shame that she took the curse of Titiritero instead of you, how does it feel to be responsible for the death of someone you love?"

I screamed and charge at him, but he had anticipated that and sent a bolt of lightning crashing down in front of me, the force of the impact sent me flying back.

"How did someone as stupid as you could ruin our plans? Charging a god without any plans whatsoever? Pathetic."

"We'll see who is pathetic once I beat the living hay out of you." I replied quickly standing back on all four. I began to smirk. "You think you have the advantage because of the clouds full of lightning above us, but you forgot that you're not the only one that have controls of the clouds."

Without warning rain began to pour from the clouds above us. Infinitus looked bored. "So you made it rain, I'm so scared right now-Gah!"

When he was looking up at the rain I took the opportunity to punch him in the face. Without letting him the chance to counter I sent him a wave of water that sent him on his back. Once it was done I transformed the rain above him into ice.

Seeing the needle-like ice that was coming toward him Infinitus quickly rolled out of the way just in time to escape being stabbed by the dozens of ice needles.

"Your control of your elemental magic is impressive... For a mortal." 

I rolled my eyes, "As if any other mortal could compare to this sexy filly." I responded smugly.

'That line was painful to hear.' Nopony ask your opinion Roxanne.

"You know the Reapers could use a mare with your powers. I promise we will never bring harm to your world if you join us."

My eyes narrowed dangerously. "It's way too late for that, maybe a few months ago I would have been desperated enough to join you to protect my family. But your organisation killed Golden Pie and for that I won't rest until every sick freaks of your organization are dead."

Infinitus didn't seemed to be surprised by my answer. "It's such a shame you turned against us. You remind me of myself, both of us fight to get vengeance on the ones that killed somebody we love. But it's not too late once we create our paradise we can bring Golden Pie back to life thanks to the Editor but only if you help us."

My brain froze at his words, they could bring her back? Should... I accept?

'Don't accept! You know they will try to kill you once the job is done. Gaia despise the elementalists!'

Yes I know,  but I'm ready to sacrifice everything to save her.

'You would bring her back to life sure, but just think of what pain you are living right now because of your loss. Do you really want to inflict this pain to Golden Pie? And even if you were to miraculously survive you would be forced to go in hiding with the Soul Reapers and probably The Coucil after you, the two of you would never get a normal life.'

I looked back at Infinitus. "No... I will never join you. I prefer dying fighting you and having a chance to reunite with Golden Pie in the next life than having to live with her in the twisted world you call a paradise!"

The giant white wolf smirked. "Strong words coming from a pony. Let see if your strenght match your words."

I step away in shock as the body of the God of Lighning began to grow bigger and bigger. I resisted the urge to wince as I heard bones cracking and being replaced with stronger ones. Once the transformation was done the once majestic wolf looked like a bulky monster. I could see sparks of electricity dancing everywhere on his body.

What the hay happened to him?

'I have no idea.' What?! But you're suppose to know everything!

'Sorry but even with my experience I have not seen everything in the multiverse. But my suggestion is to look at him carefully, a transformation this drastic must have a drawback.'

Hiding my fear I looked back at Infinitus. "What is it with males trying to prove they are stronger than female? I wouldn't recomend continuing this fight if you want to keep your alpha male reputation intact."

"Don't get cocky, so you killed Titiritero, big deal. He was a joke compared to me and Ayagi. Only the weaks strive to get more power and he was all about trying to get more powerful."

I rolled my eyes. "And I suppose the Reapers doesn't want more power? You hunted down the Shards of Life for centuries before taking action."

"It's because of me that the shards exist in the first place, it's only fair that I get to use them to finish what we couldn't acomplish three thousands years ago."

My eyes widden in horror. "Y-you're the one that split Author's magic into pieces?!"

'Maybe it's not too late to run.' Roxanne said in a scared voice.

No! If we run they will attack Ponyville again. I prefer dying than putting them in danger!

'...Then let me help you.' I felt a strange tingle in my head but before I could question it Infinitus began to run in my direction.

He lifted a paw and hit the spot where I was standing. But I easily dodge it, he then sent a bolt of lightning. I heard the electricity coming and was able the escape the hit.

W-what was that? It was as if my body moved on it's own.

'I gave you my instincts, your body will act as if you had fought gods your whole life, but you should finish this battle quickly. This drain a lot of power out of me, if you take too long I may die for good, I won't be able to speak to you anymore. On the meantime I found one of his weakness. His transformation made him slower. Normally the bolt of lightning would have hit you way before you could hear it coming. Which mean his spell move at the speed of sound instead of the speed of light.'

That good to know- Wait you're risking your life again? I told you to stop doing that!

'I prefer dying than putting them in danger, that what you said isn't it? Well I prefer dying than putting you in danger. I know you are me but in a strange way I see you as my daughter, I will not let you fight this monster alone.'

My concentration shift from the conversation as I heard a electric sound coming from Infinitus. The rain I had made fall fell on Infinitus making sparks appear all over him. I could see him trying to hide his wince of pain.

I see water is a electricity conducter. It's not like fire and water where the water always win. Between electricity and water both side make great damage to the other. Which mean that whoever land the first hit will have won this fight.

With that in mind I sent a huge wave of water in direction of the white wolf but he jumped out of the way just in time and sent me a bolt of lightning in my direction. Once again I jumped out of the way of the impact.

I sent multiple small orbs of water in his direction but he easily step between them. But I could see he wasn't used to be this big and it was wearing him down.

He sent me two bolt of lightning. I didn't have the time to dodge so I raised a shield of ice. The shield exploded in pieces as soon as the two bolts hit. 

Sneakily I created a huge ball of water behind Infinitus as soon as it was done. I created a giant stalactites and sent it crashing sown where Infinitus was. Infinitus looked up and quickly jumped back to avoid the hit. But he was instantly covered in all the water I had put behind him.

And before he could even undesrtand what happened his own electricity fried him to a crisp. His magic was quickly coming inside the finisher around my neck.

I aproached the white wolf and look down at his barely alive body. 

"I-I can't believe you beated me, mistress will be furious."

"Why? Why are you doing all of this? Author gave us everything we needed for a happy life and you try to destroy all that!"

"I hate the human race, I want to make a world where these hairless monkey wouldn't poison us with their narrowed mind. I want them dead for killing my son! You should understand that after all the same thirst for vengeance is the reason you fight us in the first place."

"The humans killed your son? Why?"

"For the same reason the humans are at each other throats since the dawn of time. He was different. My son was a hybrid between a wolf and a human. They killed him saying he was a beast. They throught his father was a common wolf you see. Stupid humans they should have know only a god can bypass the limits of biology. I sunk the land that killed him and was about to kill the rest of the world but The Council found me before I could do so. So I stole a good part of their magic hoping they would have died. Instead their souls adapt and they became Level C."

"If it's the humans you're after why do you send your men in Equestria?!" I asked trying to keep my anger under control.

"I wasn't the one that send them. It was mistress Grim Reaper. As for why she did it is none of your concern."

I resist the urge to slap him. "Then send a message to Gaia. Tell to her that the Mortal Dreamer is back, she will understand what I mean."

"Since you defeated me I will share with you where we can have a rematch. Find me in two weeks one kilometer North to the Veil's market. Me and all the Reapers will be there and we will destroy the Veil. Once the connection in the Kira's branch is broken the rules of the Gaia branch will apply to every worlds in the multiverse and The Council will fall."

With that Infinitus closed his eyes and drew his last breath.

'...Fuck! I didn't think they would make their big move so quickly, we have to warn The Council about this. Winter I really hate to ask you this but you need to save the world, we need the reincarnation of the Mortal Dreamer in the frontline.'

"Don't worry I was arleady planning on going."

In the distance a lone man was watching the scene unfold a silent tear rolled down his cheek. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me Winter Song, But you are the one that will have to do it." Time Skip whipered to himself before disappearing.
