The four Princesses had studied all night learn all the spells the they could before Celesta and Luna changed day to night and they all except for Twilight crashed. Thinking were quiet until Twilight slammed the book she was reading closed and screamed in rage waking everyone in the castle up.
"UGH WE COULD PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING BUT THAT WON'T MATTER IF WE DON'T WHAT A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING HOW STRONG HE IS!"
"Twilight calm down we'll get through this?" Cadence said as she and Luna went to comfort the youngest alicorn.
"HOW ALL WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS STUDYING COMBAT SPELLS BUT FROM HOW THE KIRIN ACT IT'S LIKE NO ONE CAN TOUCH ABSOLUTE EXCEPT FOR... IDEA!" Twilight jumped up from her seat knocking Cadence and Luna back. "We can spar with Dramize and that might give us a read on Absolute's strength." Twilight grabbed a cup of coffee next to her that was so black that everyone could have sworn that she was drinking oil and downed the rest of it in one swift gulp.
"What's your plan Twilight?" Asked Celestia who wisely stayed back.
"We're going to go fight Dramize."
"What, why?" Asked Luna as she got up rubbing her face.
"Because he's a noble and if the king is so powerful I'm hopping that the nobles well at least come close."
"And what would lead you to believe that?"
"From how the other kirin react towards them they act like they are kings in their own right."
"Ok I see you point, but maybe you should take a nap." said Cadence who sat back in her chair."
"Why I feel fine wide awake?"
"Because you just pulled an all nighter and I don't think you want to crash mid fight."
"Good point."
A few house later the four princesses were at the kirin base where they saw twenty vespin standing like statues at entrance. Cadence charged her horn thinking they were going to attack but they didn't even look in her direction confusing her.
"What are these things? are they some type of changlings?" Cadence said creating a pole axe construct.
"I think these the creatures Pinkie was telling us about." Celestia said causing Cadence to relax a little.
"You mean the vespin?"
"Yeah." Twilight said walking up to one of the vespin and started to mess with it trying to get a reaction and failing. "I think they are in some sort of trance its ether that of they more stoic than the solar guards."
"Well let's go inside. I don't think they will stop us." Luna said walking up to the door pushing it open with her magic. Then two battle axes flashed in front of her blocking her path. Luna jumped back on reflex landing next to her sister. The vespin just watch the four not making any more movements that's when they heard clapping.
"Uninvited guests how fun." The vespin queen walked out to see the four alicorns surrounded by her guard. "So let's see who new on the guest list." The queen vanished reappearing behind the four princesses. "Queen of harmonious day, Queen of dual sleep, Queen of eternal set and rise, and final another Queen of hearts but that makes me wonder who's deserves that title more."
"Who are you to give titles Larverida."
"Salamander don't throw my mane out so casually I am a queen and will be treated as one."
"Remember Larverida you rule only the vespin, ruling the kirin is Absolutes job so you have no power over me."
"Aww my sweet king of black diamonds when will he be back their is a matter I must discuss with him."
"He well be back the day before the end of next week but he wont be free until the week after."
"Fine then." Larverida snapped her fingers and the vespin drones moved letting the princesses through.
"So the four princesses of equestria grace us with their presence. So I must ask why are you here?"
"To fight you Dramize." Twilight said with authority bring a small smile to Dramize's face.
"Are you sure? because I will not go easy on you."
Twilight looked at the three around her to see their answers but they just nodded. "Yea Dramize's we're sure."
"Great I was getting board and I just finished my new weapon, follow me." Dramize took the four to the training arena while Larverida followed. "So Larverida why are you following us?"
"If these ponies are going challenge my king of black diamonds I want to see their power."
The group arrived at the training arena and Dramize ran into the middle and jumped up starting the music.
"Let's begin." Dramize summoned two katana pulled them out while the alicorns created their own weapons Celestia formed a long sword while Luna summoned her sickle sword both sisters charge Dramize who didn't even put up a guard he just back stepped, dodged, and shield when ever Cadence and Twilight fired spells at him. "You know those weapon constructs are just a waste of energy." Dramize said blocking a double attack from the celestial sisters he then swung his tail catching Celestia in the side knocking her away before turn and doing the same to Luna. Both sisters were holding their sides before realizing something terrible.
"Sister."
"Yeah I realized it to we can't afford to get close."
"I hope your ready because I'm gonna attack now." Dramize rushed at Luna not even giving her time teleport away forcing her into close combat the other three tried to help Luna back out but Dramize wouldn't let them so all Luna could do was block but when she would she'd have to make a new construct because the force of Dramize's strikes would shatter them. Luna was steadily losing power she knew she couldn't keep this defense up but that's when a light blue pole axe and a purple scythe blade came out of no where forcing Dramize to block allowing Luna to escape under golden cover fire. "So you switched up on me smart. now lets see how good you two are at melee Twilight stepped up attacking constantly to keep Dramize on defense switching with Cadence when ever she need a rest but leaving opening for Celestia provide some ranged support while Luna rested. This plan was working they until they got a hit in Dramize's eyes changed both Cadence and Twilight teleported back on reflex with such speed that they didn't even realize until they reappeared next to Celestia. that's when Dramize looked at them. "So you finally got a hit in on me I guess that means I can stop playing with you." Dramize rushed forward taking a deep breath and shooting a large flame stream forcing the four to shield. Dramize vanished into the flames only to reappear in front of Cadence he stomped his hoof and placed his pointer and pinky fingers on her diaphragm. "Eruption shock." Cadence coughed up some blood before falling to her knees and then on her face knock out. Twilight charged in next after Cadence fell scythe construct swinging but Dramize just grabbed it and crush it like it was made of weak glass surprising Twilight who tried to cast another spell but he grabbed her face and slammed her into the ground so hard she bounced so she was done. Luna was next to charge but Dramize turned a bright orange light in his mouth Luna was ready for a flame torrent but what she got was a burst of lava which blasted her back into a wall but her shield held and the lava harden but as soon as she blasted her way out she was struck hard with the blunt edge of Dramize's katana before he roundhouse kick her in the face and back into the arena knocked out. Celestia was the last one and she was two things angry and terrified as she looked down Dramize's blade which he held in front of her. "Good fight you lose."
