Chapter 20: You're gonna get Pwnied!

"How'd you get here?!?" sputtered Etherlos. The darkness around them faded, and they were back in his throne room. Void said nothing. He swiped his hoof towards his chained friends and red projectiles flew and cut the chains holding them. Like magnets, the souls were pulled towards their bodies. When soul and body were reunited, the fire smothered out and the normal color returned to their bodies. The friends formed a circle around Etherlos. The dark being began frantically throwing dark projectiles at the group of friends. However in a great burst of speed, Void would appear in front of the friends and deflect the projectiles. After the last projectile was deflected Void suddenly appeared next to Etherlos and hit him with a large red weapon. He fell to the ground and shuddered from the pain. It had been a long time since he'd felt it. He looked at the weapon in the pegasus' hooves and almost laughed and gasped at the same time. In Voids hoof was a club made entirely of bright red hearts. Etherlos looked at his attacker and saw  that Void's cutie mark and pendant had changed. Instead of a purple heart with an X through it, there was a bright red heart with no X. He stared at Void in disbelief.
"W-what are you?" he  said.
Void looked at him and said, "I am Void. I am a Pegasus holding the spirit of an evil god of dreams and darkness. However I have a power deep inside of me that even you did not see. You see," his pendant began to glow. The others had necklaces and their pendants were glowing as well, "I am the element of love." he said matter of factly. Suddenly a burst of energy swirled from all the ponies to a spiral in the air, forming a rainbow. The rainbow began to arch towards Etherlos. He let out a shriek as the colorful yet searing energy struck him. His body disintegrated, and the darkness that was left over dispersed and warped back to whatever place it had come from. The friends relaxed themselves knowing that the enemy was gone. The dark chamber began to dissolve. It was then that Void sank to his knees. His feet started to disintegrate, the particles floating up and disappearing. Everyone rushed to him. His fore hooves began to disappear. He said, "It's allright. I'm just a spirit without a body." Princess Luna was standing off to the side watching. She truly felt sorry for her saviour. She remembered an old spell used in the time before her imprisonment, one that could replicate a body of a pony. She walked over to where the group of ponies were. She pointed her horn at the decaying spirit. Suddenly like a copy machine, a complete replica of Void appeared next to him. At this point Void was almost completely gone. When the body appeared his form began to reform and was pulled towards the body. He was fatigued from the sudden reentry to a body and started to fall over. The dark blue alicorn used her magic to set Void down gently. Fluttershy was instantly at his side.
"Is everypony alright?" he croaked, his new body wasn't used to talking yet.
"Yes we're all fine." she whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
He sighed and smiled, "That's good."
Then he shut his eyes and fell asleep.
