Empress of Flame 2: Flickering Flame

by Pathious


Flickering flame rise of Daydream

Celestia began to circle around Empress. Celestia made sure to keep her eye on the possible enemy. She wasn’t about to let her escape. She had made many mistakes already but she wasn’t about to do it again.

“Empress you are good..We all saw it two years ago..You stopped the portal from killing us all.” Celestia stomped her right hoof as she now turned to face Empress.

“Who are you to tell me what I am. You are nothing to me but the white mare whom raises the sun. You abandoned Sunset years ago.” Empress said as she hissed at Celestia.

“Inever abandoned her.” Celestia lowerd her head and closed her eyes. She then raised her head and stared into empresses eyes. “I’m not about to abandone you either.” Celestia got into a less threatening stance. “We want what is best for you. That thing is the good inside you Empress. The love you showed for Twilight. The hope you gave me when you made that sacrifice.”

“Quiet you want nothing unless it benefits you in some way. You wanted discord and now that you know I’m more powerful then he is you want me for the same reason you wanted him.” Empress hisses again and she was slowly growing more agitated. “Besides, Do you really think I would have come to attack Equestria by myself again.” Empress began to smile wickedly as the dark sky outside began to have a portion of it turn into a portal. Empress was using her new portal abilities to bring the sirens into this world.

“Empress whatever you are doing you don’t have to do!” Twilight said as she felt the need to try and help the situation. “Your better than this I know this now.”

“you know nothing Twilight.” Empress slammed one of her hooves on the floor. A crack shot across the marble floor. This crack formed another portal. Almost immediately after the portal was big enough a blue reptilian head poked out of the portal. Sonata dusk was the first to exit. Then Aria followed after her. Lastly the golden head of Adagio Dazzle came out f the portal
“Very good Empress.” Adagio said as she floated above the ground using her magic. Adagio looked at Celestia. “Well, well, well if it isn’t a powerful Alicorn.” Adagio chuckled as she felt the need to sing a song soon. She wanted as much Equestrian magic as possible. “Be prepaired ponies for this day will be your last.” Adagio chuckled as her companion floated next to her. Twilight and Celestia both had their mouths a gap.

“T-the S-sirens.” Twilight said with a stutter. “Y-you brought them here~!” Twilight looked at Empress as she felt anger surge through her. Twilight ran and jumped at Empress. Twilight was moments away from hitting her when Adagios massive tail swatted her away and into the hard thick marble wall nearby. Twilight hit the wall with a thud. When she hit the ground she wasn’t moving anymore. Ejmpress was staring at Twilight a Heartbeat thudding in the deepest reaches of Empresses mind. Empresses eyes turned from the dark halos to the familiar eyes of Sunset Shimmer. As Adagio was already causing havoc Empress slowly walked over to the mare on the ground. Twilight still wasn’t moving. Empress placed a hoof on Twilight’s chest. Empress immediately felt a very weak heartbeat. She thought Twilight was going to die. Empress looked at the ceiling and screamed. Her coat turned from light red to the amber color of Sunset Shimmer. Empress fell to the ground as pain started to surge through her.

“Adagio Dazzle.” Empress said as smoke was now spewing out of her nostrals. Magical Flame at the corners of her eyes as All of her magical abilities were starting to power up. Empress screamed out again as her fangs painfully started to disappear. Adagio looked over at Empress in confusion. Celestia smiled as she knew what was happening. “You killed her!” Empress screamed out as the tears she was crying were immediately evaporating.

“W-what is happening to you Empress?” Adagio said as her focus was now on the entity whos power levels were filling the room with a very unstable feeling. Discord immediately teleported into the room as he could feel the mass of magical imbalances.

“What is happening.” Discord yelled out as he appeared. “That amount of imbalance is going to cause some problems~!” Discord covered his eyes as Empress was now resonating light that was hurting his eyes. Empress was turning into a magic magnet. Discord went to snap as his magic slipped right from his fingers and into Empress. No pony could tell but in reality Discord went to to help he willingly let his magic be taken. “That is a positive Energy… I don’t want to be here when calamity happens.” Discord quickly left the room but before he could fully leav Adagio dazzle stopped him with her large tail.

“Leave my FRIENDS ALONE.~!” Empress yelled out as a read streak formed under her eyes. Her wings ingighting in a light as they were no longer demonic wings but wings of light. Empress slowly raised her head to look right at Adagio. Empress growled as she started to float up in the air. Empress took a deep breath as the smoke no longer flowed through her lungs.
Empress W-what happened to you~!?” Adagio yelled out to her as she growled back at her.

“My name is not Empress you will Address me fully.” Empress growled. “My name…. Is Daydream Shimmer The empress of flame.” Daydream slowly looked at Celestia and smiled. “You killed the one mare I cared for.” Daydream looked back at Twilight who was not dead. Unfortunately Daydream did not know this. Adagio nodded to Sonata for her to attack Miss Daydream. Sonata giggled as she floated up a little higher. She went and floated slash swam right at Daydream. Daydream was not ready as she then got tackled into a marble wall. Sonata held her against it crushing her internal bones slightly. Adagio chuckled as she watched. Celestia was about to help when Daydream used her magic to retrain Celestia. Daydream raised her hooves and then softly touched Sonatas nose. Sonata felt a vibration in the air as magic suddenly shot from Daydreams hooves and through her body. The golden magic made Sonata let go and crash to the floor.

“oww Adagio T-that h-hurts” Sonata said as she began to lose consciousness. Daydream Shimmer looked up at the other two sirens.

"You hurt Twilight. n-now you pay." her hooves started to glows in a golden essence
