Princess vs General

Princess vs General

Luna's POV

In unspoken consent, the two warriors charged each other. Luna had the advantage of strength and endurance, while General Alpha had speed and agility. Luna thrusted Moon Render towards Alpha. The General used his sword to push the blade away and followed through with a thrust of his own. Luna bent away from the attack and attempted to circle around Alpha to attack his unprotected flank.

The General anticipated this and used his magic to move his sword in a complete circle around him. With her attack thwarted, Luna ascended, hoping to have the advantage of height. Alpha followed suit, chasing after the speeding Princess.

"COME BACK HERE, COWARD!" Alpha yelled to Luna.

"IT'S NOT BEING COWARDLY, IT'S CALLED A TACTICAL RETREAT!" Luna responded.

Alpha growled and put on a burst of speed. Suddenly, Luna whirled around, sword following, and struck at the General. The Changeling couldn't stop in time and caught the blade in his right foreleg, drawing blood and severing nerves and muscle. He let out a hiss of pain and retaliated with a blind hit. Luck was on his side, as he managed to hit Luna.

However the hit was deflected by her armour. So it was and wasn't.

Alpha quickly recovered and went on the offensive, attacking Luna in every form. He rushed her, head butting her in the chest and quickly following up with a thrust from his sword. Luna had to go on the defensive immediately, using her armour as much as her sword to stop any attacks. Alpha flew back a bit to catch his breath before returning to the onslaught. He used his front hooves to nail down on one area of the Lunar Princess's armour. Luna used her blade to get him to back off, but Alpha came back, nailing on another part of her armour.

Luna was very well aware of plates cracking and breaking from the constant hoof strikes. Thinking quickly, she used her sword to rush through the air, creating a near impenetrable barrier around her. Alpha tried using his sword to cut through, but it was deflecting from Luna's rapid moving blade. Alpha started circling Luna, looking for any breaks in her makeshift defense. Seeing none, he decided to out wait her.

As Luna's blade rounded towards the General, it strayed from its original path and targeted the Changeling. It struck without giving Alpha a chance to move, piercing the front of his armour and his hard exoskeleton. As Moon Render retreated from the new hole in the Changeling, blood came out with it. Alpha staggered, giving Luna the chance she needed to hail attacks on the Changeling's body. Gashes and cuts of different depths and sizes were made in both armour and body before the Changeling did the same tactic as Luna.

Luna immediately started waiting for Alpha to try something.

It wasn't long before Alpha charged at the Princess again, but this time he still had his sword creating a barrier around his body, causing Luna to fly out of the way. Alpha immediately changed course, following Luna wherever she went. Slowly, Alpha started gaining ground thanks to the battle armour slowing the Princess down. He eventually caught up and the armour was assaulted by multiple strikes from the General's blade.

The multiple attacks wore down the armour to little more than an extra layer between the body and air. Luna thrusted her sword in a small opening, stopping the attack and causing Alpha to fall back a bit. With a heave, she sent her armour flying off her body and into Alpha. This dazed the Changeling enough for her to rush up to him and use her hooves in close quarter combat. Using the same strategy as Alpha, she focused on singular areas until the plates were all crushed before moving onto another. The weight behind the attacks caused the Changeling to be pushed away and interrupting his focus on his sword, rendering it useless.

With one final strike, Luna shattered Alpha's armour, sending him flying. Once after gaining control, Alpha sped towards Luna, who stayed in place doing nothing.

Before Alpha could strike, Luna lifted he foreleg, hitting Alpha in the throat with the hard part of her hoof. Using his momentum against him, Luna succeeded in crushing his windpipe, rendering the Changeling General unable to breathe. Grabbing him by the neck, Luna rushed to the ground. Alpha, focusing on trying to get air into his lungs, was too distracted to notice the ground coming up towards them. With little to no effort, Luna hurled the Changeling to the ground, creating a crater.

When the dust cleared, Luna was able to see Alpha on the ground twitching, signifying life. Luna landed on the edge of the crater, peering down. What she saw wasn't pretty. Bones stuck out of Alpha's body all over. Leg bones, snapped, sticking out in random directions, ribs appearing through his sides, wings in tatters. What was most horrifying, was, his horn. It had snapped off, fallen on the ground next to him. However, it was still connected. From an extremely stretched muscle. The one that surrounded the bone that ran through the horn. The same bone that the mana carrying marrow travelled through.

Luna walked up to the pitiful sight before her. She stopped right beside Alpha's horn, looking at it. She could pick up his faint, but pained, ragged breathing. The bones had punched another hole for the General to breathe through, but it was still painful. Doing the unthinkable, Luna lifted her hoof...







...And brought it down on Alpha's horn.

The cry of pain was forever burned into the memory of all that were present.

When Luna brought her hoof back up, all that was left of the once proud General's horn, was multiple crushed pieces of bone. Summoning her sword next to her, Luna moved to the broken Changeling.

"Goodbye."

*Slice*

Alpha's head went flying towards the Changeling ranks, followed by blood, muscle, tissue and nerves. The Changelings at the front lines all reeled back at the sight of their once alive General. Screams of horror could be heard from them as they deserted their army, trying to escape the wrath of the Lunar Princess and her guards.

Soon after, the courtyard was clear of Changelings, leaving the Princess of the Night and the Lunar Guard recovering from the attack.

"Well, My Little Ponies," Luna said, "I think we won."
