A Good Share of Lives

The Sacrifice Part 6


In the sky of The Veil a battle was raging on between three of the most powerful beings that ever existed. Harmony The Elder God of Balance, Author The Elder God of Creation and Gaia the Elder Goddess of Life.

Author multiple voices spoke sadly. ''Gaia my daughter. What have you done? You hurted so many people just because you saw the mortal races as beings inferior to you.''

''They are inferior to us. Especially the humans, they have been waiting thousands of years for a sign of weakness to strike us down we will never achieve peace with these filthy apes still alive!''

Harmony spoke ''And you are ready to kill a entire species for peace? If you can kill an entire species without remorse you are nothing but a monster.''

Gaia scoffed. ''Look who is making the moral! Your hands are not any cleaner than me Harmony! You killed the Caribous in every versions of Equis!''

''I had no choice! Their whole race were Viking that killed and rape every village they met! I couldn't let them corrupt the world that has the most potential for true peace!''

''Then join me and we will make true peace together!'' Gaia replied with a grin.

''No, the humans have still a chance for redemption contrary to the Caribous. They have been getting better and better in the last century but you are too blinded by your rage to notice it.''

''Why do you and Kira love the sapient races so much!? They were never suppose to exist in the first place!''

''The problem Gaia is that your view of the world is the opposite of us. You are right we are superior to the mortals. But you abused of this superiority, since we're better than them we are suppose to protect and guide them. Instead you treat them as if they had less rights to live than you. This stop right now.''

Gaia sighed. ''I had hope you would see reason but all of you are too stubborn it's seem.''

''Give up now you're alone against the two of us there no way you can win'' Harmony said while taking a defensive position.

Gaia smirked. ''Oh? Who said I was alone?'' Gaia lifted a hoof in the air and a giant red orb appeared around herself.

Gaia spread her four legs and magic began to pour out of her body leaving her body seemingly lifeless.

Gaia began to speak but instead of coming from her mouth it came from the red orb. ''Meet Editor made with twenty one Shards of Life and the spark of Kira.''

Harmony was overcome with rage. ''You, you bitch! It wasn't enough that you killed my brother you had to turn him in a weapon?!''

Gaia smirked. ''Oh don't worry you will join him soon enough inside Editor.''

Harmony summoned a cloud that sent a massive pillar of electricity down on Gaia. But the attack was blocked by a giant transparent shield.

Gaia laughed at his attempt to kill her. ''Not only is Editor a ultimate weapon it's also a ultimate shield. You won't beat me dear brother.''

Author slowly approached when he was close enough Gaia felt a strong thug that attract her to Author.

''Harmony try to weaken the most you can I will try to gain back my shards.'' The Elder God of Balance nod and began to throw fire ballas combined with wind attacks.

But before it could touch Editor two dragons emerged from the ball of magic. One had vibrant red scales while the other had icy blue scales.

As you can guess the red dragon spat out fire at Harmony while the blue one fired ice. The bearded alicorn was quick to step out of the attack. He shot ice at the red dragon.

The beast roared as his body became frozen. Once it was done Harmony flew in it's direction and punched him. The ice covered dragon shattered in pieces before his body turn to ash since he had no spark.

Harmony then turned his attention to the ice dragon. He trapped him in stone using his Earth magic and then crush him. He too turn to ash.

What Harmony didn't expect was that Gaia had wait for him to kill the dragon to make her move. She fired a thick magic beam at him. Harmony having just finished with the two dragons had no time to react and was hit with the full force of the attack.

Harmony crashed on the ground hard. His body was in no condition to move and he could only lay there as Gaia laughed maniacally.

Then the red orb that was Editor began to glow dangeriously and sent a shock wave. When it touched Author sparks of magic coursed through all his magic and he couldn't move his magic slowly being attract by the gravity of the ground.

W-what? Not possible Author and Harmony have been beaten by this crazy bitch?

Gaia laughed victoriously. ''AHAHAHAHAH! Look at me mortals! I have beaten every Elder Gods that stood in my way. Who is going to stop me now?!''

After all that we lost? We can't let them win there just got to have a way to beat her!

'...Winter there is a way. but there will be no better tomorrow for us.'

What is it? Tell me I'm not afraid of anything!

'I can activate another spirit trade like the time you lost your magical singing for better elemental magic. But this is the strongest spirit trade that ever existed. A spirit trade only a mortal can activate.'

Ok and what would I trade? My Pegasus magic? My elemental magic?

'...Your life. You would be strong to go toe to toe with any any Elders for a few minutes but once it wear of you will die.'

Die in what sense? Will I be able to reform my body?

'No you die for good you become as strong as a Elder for a few minutes and after that you go in your next incarnation if you want to do this you might want to say goodbye to your family.'

I looked at the dangerously glowing orb of magic. We have no time for goodbye we need to do this now.

I looked at the allied force and the trolls. The mercenaries had all died. If some had escape we didn't saw them. The only threat remaining was above us.

'I wish it hadn't come to this. Goodbye Winter Song.'

Gaia laughed again. ''That what I throught no one can stop me!''

I gritted my teeth before lifting my head looking directly at Gaia with narrowed eyes. ''I WILL STOP YOU, YOU GENOCIDAL BITCH!''

The soldiers looked at me like I had sprout a second head. I could hear a few hushed voice in the crowd.

''It's this insane filly again, I can't believe she's still alive.''

''A pony? What can a peace loving pony can hope to achieve against Gaia?.''

I didn't care what they thought this was between me and Gaia.

''Winter! No don't do this please!'' My eyes widden in horror as my mother was about to attract the attention of Gaia. But before she could reach me Time Skip appeared and hit her behind the neck. My mom fell on the ground unconscious.

I had no time to ponder how the hay he was still alive before Gaia spoke. 'You!'' She said in rage but then took a satisfied tone. ''I'm happy you're here. You have beaten my captain, ruin the first attempt to test the prototype of Alexander, killed Muerto Ttiritero and turn the trolls against me. But now I will finally put you out of your misery.''

I began to feel the effect of the spirit trade I have never felt so much magic inside of me before. I wonder if this is how Celestia feel every day.

Every eyes of The Veil was on me now. To them it was probably like watching a train wreck but I knew I had a chance to beat her and even if I didn't I will make her suffer hard before I have to go.

''Gaia just give up. It's over.'' Gaia looked at me blankly before bursting laughing.

''Over?! It's just the begining I have enough power with me to wipe every world that exist!''

I shook my head calmly. ''It doesn't matter, you know why? Because I stand in your way. I have stand in your way since the begining but you knew that I was a menace and tried to banish me in the void. Unfortunately for you it didn't work and here I am standing in your way once again. It's over Gaia.''

''What are you talking about?! You weren't born in the begining!''

''Oh I wasn't talking of just my life as Winter Song. I was also talking of when I stood against you as Roxanne the Mortal Dreamer. It's about time we finish our job.''

Her eyes widden for a second before she put up a determined scowl. ''It doesn't matter even if you are Roxanne you're still just a mortal!''

I smirked at her. ''No, for the next few minutes. I am your equal.''

I gave a good hard flap and I left the ground with a shock wave. Gaia snarled. ''I thought I would spare Equis but after it spawn an arroguant foal like you I'm not sure if I will be this generous anymore!''

Editor glowed and a giant black dragon spawned in front of me. Gaia look baffled when she saw I wasn't even slowing down to fight the beast.

I created a ball of spikes in on my hoof and punched the dragon at full speed . I tore throught the dragon as if it was made of paper. Once inside I froze every cells in his body before tearing throught him from the other side.

The dragon exploded in pieces and I continue my race once again. Gaia produce hundred of snakes that were falling in my direction.

I sent a huge wave of ice in their direction. but I still had to punch the few that fell in my direction. The rest shattered upon hitting the ground.

When I was close enough of Gaia began to produce a hammer of titanic proportion. Before I had only dream of making something this cool but now I could. I called it the comet crusher.

Gaia took the opporunity to throw three knifes. All thre of them hit their target but I was too far to give up now so I bore the pain and flew. Then I created several golems of ice and we swung the comet crusher as hard we could with the highest speed we could.

When it connected with the shield of Gaia there was huge shoc wave that nearly blew me away and the allied force on the ground had to take cover. I began to panic when the hammer began to crack but fortunately before the hammer broke the shield gave in exploding like glass.

The comet crusher and the golem disappeared and I flew inside Editor. Once inside however a intense pain shot throught my entire body. I had to fight every fiber of my body to not bolt out of here.

I gritted my teeths and a unstoppable manifest itself inside me. I created two blocks of ice around my hooves and rushed at Gaia.

''AHHHHHHHHHHH!'' I hit her hard on the face. ''This is for Sonata!'' I hit her again, ''This is for what you put me throught!'' and again, ''This is for Stalliongrad!'' and again, ''This is for Golden Pie!'' Finally I raised my two hooves and hit her the hardest I could on top of her head sending her plummeting in direction of the ground, ''And this is for everypony you made suffer you bitch!''

Once she was outside of Editor the painb vanished. I lifted a hoof in the air and began to cry to the heaven. ''I wish that the Elder Goddess of Life Gaia by bound by her own rules forever!''

A beam of magic shot out of Editor and hit Gaia she screamed as her fall accelerate and she crashed on the ground with a sickening thud.

I panted hard and I began to feel the force in my body leaving me. Look like it's the end huh Roxanne?... Roxanne?

No response dammit she must have kill herself when she gave me the spirit trade I told her to not hurt herself for me! Sigh I suppose it doesn't matter anyway it's over.

The allied force on the ground were so occupied gawking at the unconscious from of Gaia or celebrating their victory that they almost did not notice me falling from the sky.

It was my mom that noticed me. She began to wake up and when she was fully awake she searched frantically around for me. When she noticed me falling she screamed in panic.

Rainbow Dash looked where Fluttershy was looking and dashed after me. She grab me in her hooves and said. ''Hang on kiddo! We will get you medical attention!''

I replied feebly. ''No I won't make it put me close to mom please.''

''But!-''

''No but aunt Dash please I want to say goodbye.''

Reluctantly she listened to me and put me on the ground close of my mom.

''Winter! Why did you do this we could have found another way!''

''Mommy you look like an angel. Not the one that serve in Author knights but the ones in human mythology you look so perfect.''

''Ah think she's missing a few screw loose.'' Applejack muttered. Twilight slapped her on the back of the head with a wing.

''I did it, I finally did it I can rest now.''

Fluttershy sniffed but tried to put on a brave face. ''What do you mean honey?''

''You're safe, all of you are finally safe I don't have to fight anymore... I did it tell Meek Sky I love her. I couldn't have had a better family.''

Then something strange happened I began to feel nothing in my body no pain no sensation, nothing. I looked down and noticed that I could see throught my body as I was slowly fading away.

Mom tried to touch me but her hoof passed throught me. She began to sob uncontrollably. Normally my heart would have broke at the sight but I couldn't feel anything. then finally all went dark...
