Sensing Connor is getting serious, I smiled, preparing for a good fight. I quickly flew forward, about to deliver a massive cosmic fire punch into his chest. Right before I hit him, I felt a sharp pain, as everything went black.

I open my eyes a second later to find myself in the middle of a desert. I try to get up, but I noticed every single one of my bones is pulverized. I quickly regenerated, before getting up, and flying back to the town my rival is in. 'What did he do?'

I arrived in the small town to see Connor just standing there, ponies slowly walking up to him. Getting angry, I charged at him again, only to feel another sharp pain, but my vision didn't go black this time. With my enhanced brain, I saw myself quickly leave the atmosphere. I tried to stop myself from continuing my FTL flight, but with every single bone in my body disintegrated, I couldn't stop as I slammed into a planet galaxies away.

The second I healed, I got back up, and looked straight at the planet Connor is on. "You wanna do this the hard way?" I quickly turn cosmic. "We'll do this the hard way!" I flew towards the planet at near light speeds, arriving in a few seconds.





I just stood there, looking up, waiting for Murphy to attack again. He enters the atmosphere, and was about to use his speed and momentum to punch me at an angle. I quickly lean back at the last second, dodging his punch. He barely had the time to look surprised at the impossible angle I was leaning in, before I delivered a massive punch into his gut, sending him tumbling into the atmosphere. I quickly flew up and blocked his next punch.

He sweeped my legs, causing me to lose balance. As he was about to punch me in my unprepared state, I caught his arm, before swinging it over my head, and slamming him against the air next to me at high enough speeds to make the air as hard as concrete. I let go of his arm as soon as I heard his bones snap.

He recovered from his fall, and quickly fired a powerful blast of fiery cosmic energy at me. I countered with a mediocre blast of electric cosmic energy. He pushed his beam against mine for about a second. And then I overpowered him. The second he recovered, he charged at me with his chainsaw (it was fiery and cosmic too). I blocked it with a sword of my cosmic energy.

He kept on trying to hit me with different weapons, and I kept on countering them, and actually hitting him back. He used a machine gun, and I used a pistol, shooting his bullets out of the air, and shooting him in the chest. He used a rocket, I deflected it back at him. He used a butter knife, I used an actual knife.

Eventually, I noticed his power getting weaker, and I didn't even need to counter his attacks anymore, as they no longer hurt me. After he pathetically tried to attack me with a freakin' spoon, I raised both of my hands up, and with a look of terror on his face, brought them down on his back, sending him crashing to the ground.

I landed on him, hurting him enough to force him to revert back to his normal form. I stood over him, before speaking. "You don't have to be evil, you know. We're brothers. I don't want to fight you for eternity." I spoke in a voice that sounded like mine, but was almost monotone.

Murphy started laughing. "You think I'm just going to change my ways? I will have my revenge! I will get revenge on you for ruining my life!"

"So be it." I raised my hand, going cosmic and was about to end his life with a burst of energy. Before I could fire, Murphy quickly created a portal underneath him, and dropped through, closing it before I could get him. I sighed, lowering my hand and reverting back to my normal form.

I turned around to face all the ponies who were looking at me, unsure what I would do. "It's okay everyone! Bad guy is gone!" Then, they all started cheering, and I let out a small smile. "I hate getting serious. I go all god mode and cast judgement on others." I said to the other elements of harmony next to me.
