//------------------------------// // Havoc's Final Showdown // Story: Phantom War VII: Revenge of Havoc // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// Me, Illidan, and Sylvanas were outside the door. I was having them split up so we can cover more ground about the battlefield around Havoc. When they left, I heard some hoof steps and turned, only to see Twilight, Trixie, Sonata, Rainbow, Lilith, and Maiev. I smirked and they see the dead ghouls around me. "Come now; we need to finish this once and for all." They nodded and I looked at the door. I opened it and we walked in. That was when we see two things... The first thing was Havoc was sitting in a bone-looking throne; drinking what I considered to be blood or something like it. His features were similar to Discord's but a bit more... aggressive and darker. Good thing was that he wasn't facing us. The second thing was a pony chained near his throne. The second pony's figure was similar to Nightmare Moon, but replace it with Celestia. This pony had Dark Red or dark orange coat, flames for her mane and tail, and her eyes were lavender or light purple while her pupils were slit and purple. Her cutie mark was the sun as well. We noticed that she was very thin like she hasn't been fed in a long time. Twilight asked "Who is that and why does she look like a Nightmare Moon and Celestia combined?" Maiev replied "She's not suppose to be a prisoner here..." Lilith replied "She's not a prisoner here, period. She must be a hostage." "Should we free her?" Trixie asked. The Pony begged "H-Help me..." Rainbow replied "We shouldn't. I mean, what if she is the-" As the others talked, I rolled my eyes and walked over to her. I pulled out my Dark Star Saber and cut the chain that held her. The sound of the Chain mad everyone turn to me, including Havoc. I put my hooves on her and began to fill her body with my healing magic. Once she was healed, I began to regenerate her magic that had been suppressed. She got up, still weak but feeling better. She ran over to the others and hid behind them. I turned to Havoc, who was staring right back at me. "You have terrorize civilians and that is something even Discord wouldn't go to." Havoc chuckled before bursting into dark laughter. Havoc said "Oh; I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. But laughter aside; you must be the famous Danny Eclipse I've heard so much about." "From rumors?" "No; from the one who freed me." Havoc answered. "Who is that pony?" Havoc chuckled darkly, amused that I was asking her who freed him. Havoc replied "Why should I tell you; you would eventually find out, sooner or later." "What is that suppose to mean?" Havoc shouted "Enough! I refuse to answer your questions, thus I will put these 'famous' rumors down for good!" Havoc snapped his fingers and an army of ghouls dug out from the ground. They charged at us but I halted them when sent a wave of dark energy into the army, cutting them in half. Havoc looked at me; clearly intrigued. "What would you know; he wasn't bluffing when he said that you were powerful and destroy armies with a single slash of your Dark Star Saber... This might actually be a challenge, unlike those stupid pony sisters and my idiot brother." Havoc summoned up three adult wraiths. I looked at them before I pointed my two hooves at them, using Force Storm. This attack began to shock them to their deaths, killing them off. I looked at Havoc, clearly even more intrigued. "Done sending your minions or are you going to sit on that throne and be a coward?" That made Havoc angry. He got off his throne and summoned a blade; it was a giant sword, made of Daedric Metal. He roared at me before charging at me. He slashed at me; but I had blocked it off. I pushed him back and we slashed at each other again. After a few slashes, I see Twilight coming at Havoc with her Scythe in hand. Havoc barely managed to dodge the attack. The others began to group up with me. Havoc snorted with displeasure, being interrupted from his fight with me. So, he snapped his fingers and both ghouls and liches appeared. They began to fight the others, clearly ignoring me. I charged at Havoc again; this time going from above. Havoc managed to dodge the attack and tried to slash at me in mid-air. I managed to dodge it and this time; I landed on the ground, did a 360 turn, and lunged at him, spinning in mid-air like a tornado. Havoc made the retreat, dodging the attack. I got into a battle stance and charged. Before I could strike, Havoc snapped his fingers and skeleton arms grabbed me. When I was trapped; I began to struggle but found it futile. I tried to use my ghost powers but that wasn't working either. I looked at Havoc, who was chuckling darkly and raised his sword. Havoc asked "Any last words?" "Yeah. Servants, attack now!" Suddenly, three arrows hit the right hand that held the sword. Havoc howled in pain and looked at the source, seeing Sylvanas with a smirk. Suddenly, Illidan came down right on top of his, slashing at him and causing Havoc to pull back. Havoc grabbed his sword with his left hand and slashed at Illidan when he attempted to pull back. Illidan gasped when he gets hit before dying. Sylvanas fired a dark arrow at Havoc, causing him to howl in pain once more. Havoc threw his blade at Sylvanas, causing her to get stabbed by the sword at the chest. She fired one last arrow at the skeleton hand that had me to break my free. Being freed, I used my Dark Star Saber to cut Havoc in half. To truly finish him off, I used Time Stop (one of my ghost powers) to stop time and cut his body parts down. When time returned to normal, I see all the tiny pieces of Havoc fall to the ground. Suddenly, all the ghouls and liches that Havoc created disappeared into smoke. When I looked at my fallen servants, I frowned and began to use my medallion. Two purple lightning arms grabbed both Illidan and Sylvanas's body. Their bodies turned into the same dark energy and I absorb them. When the show ended, I stood there, feeling their powers filling my body up. I smirked and began to radiate with the dark energy. I looked over to the others, who were on the ground, tired. I smirked and walked away, beginning my search for the presence. I was walking around the dark halls of Tartarus. Suddenly, I found myself in a chamber. A MASSIVE chamber. 'I wonder what monster this houses...' "Hello Danny." A dark and deep voice says. I turned to the source, seeing the new and improved Tirek. I gasped; Tirek is supposed to be dead! I got into a fighting stance but Tirek put his arms up is defensive. Tirek said, reassuring me "Easy there Danny; I'm not here to hurt you. If I wanted to, I would have done that before you even entered the chamber." "What do you want, Lord Tirek?" Tirek replied "I just wanted to talk." "What stops me from attacking you, kill you, or tell my friends?" Tirek smirked "Because I know darkness and light doesn't mix, if you get me." I knew he was referring to my sort-of tension towards Charming. It developed itself because I feared that Charming would turn on me once my 'usefulness' to him was over. "What do want then?" "I want to tell you that you aren't alone. I hate the light side and rather join the dark side. I don't see you as a threat; I see you as an ally." Tirek reassured. Something was different about Tirek but I never met him in person. "What do you mean by that?" Tirek replied "Never mind, just trying to say that if Charming does end up turning against you; I'll always be there to help you." I was shocked until I heard Rainbow calling out to me and I left, closing the doors. Little did I know that Tirek began to turn to black smoke before transforming into Mephiles the Dark, who was chuckling darkly. Mephiles said to no one "The seeds are planted; all I need to do is get them to grow and give them a little push." Mephiles turns back into a shadow and disappeared. I met up with the other girls. Rainbow asked "Where were you Danny?" 'Should I tell them?' I stared at them a bit more. "Oh, just looking around for the presence. I almost had it but it got away." They nodded and we began to get on the MAATs, leaving. Lilith, Maiev, the Watchers, and the Demons remained behind as we left.
