Morgenstern's army clashed with the Alliance's straight on, the heroes greatly outnumbered. Despise this, the army managed to old the corrupted off, despise being only at 50% strength. That was until Morgenstern and his Inner Circle joined the battle, turning the battle around in the enemies favor.
Making their way through the army, Morgenstern destroyed anything that came in his way. "Ever since I was a child, I knew I was not like the others... They called me freak, monster... I knew mine was a special existence... Am I, human? It makes no difference. I have been chosen to save the Worlds.", he thought before spotting the Wonderbolts flying overhead. Turning to his left, he looked at the young man, "Finish them.", he took off his hood, nodding excitedly.
He was Morgenstern's old apprentice, Ventus. He features bright blue eyes, light body build, and golden blond spiky hair, at the front concentrates the spikes on the right side of his head as if windswept, and the back is smoother and more flaky. Summoning his Keyblade holding it in an reversed grip, calling forth a typhoon and began to ride on it after the Wonderbolts. In a moment of distraction, Soarin was hit by Ventus against his wing. Spitfire attempted to strike Ventus from behind as Soarin tried to regain himself, but was kicked towards the ground by Ventus as he swung around to face Spitfire.
Lily immediately engaged 50 men in battle, all defended themselves well against her onslaught, however she drove them back before killing them all. Caelum unleashed a rapid series of successful attacks against the army, creating a path for his master. The Harmonic Heroes had joined their allies on the battlefield, trying to save as many lives as they could. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Discord and Shining Armor were waiting in the throne room, waiting for Morgenstern.
The doors were blasted open and in he strolled, not quite a strut, but a subtle, confident gait. His eyes blazing and Force Calibur in his hand. "Morgenstern! How did you got in here!?", Celestia asked, horrified and surprised that he made his way through their armies so quickly. "Well you see, your highness. These walls are made of stone, so it wasn't that difficult to...", Morgenstern started to explain, with the casually as if they were discussing the weather, before turning serious again, "Now, stand down, your Highness. I'm not afraid to hit a lady."
"Good, neither am I.", Celestia shot back, seeking vengeance against this monster. "We take him together, sister you take him on the...", Luna started but Celestia's emotions overwhelmed her. "No! I'm taking him now!", she declared calling forth her Magic Sword and charged at Morgenstern, but he retaliate with a blast Azure Beams from his eyes, damage her left wing. "Are you alright?", Discord asked, but Celestia brushed him off.
Morgenstern lunged at the group. In a moment of distraction, Discord is knocked to the side by a kick from Morgenstern in the stomach. Cadance attempted to blast Morgenstern from behind, but was knocked back by a round house kick as Morgenstern swung around to face her. He immediately engaged Luna, Shining Armor and Celestia in battle. Shining Armor defended himself for a limited time due to his mastery of a more defensive style of combat, but he was ultimately knocked down.
"Even your inferior intellect should be able to deduce that there is no hope of defeating me. Now, back down." shoots a blast of red lighting at Celestia but with trouble, she to deflects it into a wall. "I don't think so!", the princess of the sun declared, earning a arrogant smirk from Morgenstern, retaking his fighting stance.
Using the jump as a fulcrum for a vicious overhand, Morgenstern began a sudden flurry of blade work and drove Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Shining Armor backward towards the wall. As they reached the end of the room, Shining Armor found himself with his back to the wall and attempted to rally, working his way around Morgenstern. However, Morgenstern easily held off Shining Armor's attacks and kicked him against the head, sending the commander flying. Shining Armor was able to recover and landed on his feet, and Morgenstern attacked, viciously driving the two princess back through a corridor. However, they where able to hold off Morgenstern brutal barrage with their own staunch defense.
They entered a small antechamber outside the throne room, Luna attempted to take advantage of an opening in Morgenstern offense, pulling him into a blade-lock. Celestia blasted at the back of Morgenstern neck, but was unsuccessful, as Morgenstern managed to break the lock and bring his blade up to defend himself. Morgenstern renewed his attack, forcing the sisters to retreat through a small corridor into the throne room.
Upon entering the room, a recovered Discord uses a telekinetic push to knock Morgenstern Force Calibur out of his hand, and Princess Luna attempted to use her Magic Sword against Morgenstern. Resorting back to his telekinesis, lightning and Azure Beams. The battle caused heavy damage to Canterlot Castle. Morgenstern took hold of Discord's wrist with one hand and his neck with the other, bending him back. Discord managed to push Morgenstern off him, but Morgenstern returned with a kick breaking his back.
"I'm told that hurts.", Morgenstern said before Cadance encased in magic charged at him with blinding speed. Morgenstern respond by sidestepping and kicking her in the stomach. As Cadance flipped over and landed heavily on her back, Morgenstern summoned Force Calibur back to his hand and attempted to finish her with an overhand blow. Morgenstern was too late, as Luna charged with her Magic Sword and blocked the blow.
As their duel resumed, their battle took them back into the Hall Of Stories, where they engaged in a swift flurry of swordplay. The two engaged in a blade-lock, Luna attempted to end the lock with a sudden Telekinetic push, but Morgenstern countered with his own Telekinetic Blast, beginning a vicious power-struggle. Eventually the air-pocket compressed ruptured and exploded, sending both duelists flying.
Morgenstern recovered first, leaping across the hall slashing at Luna, who managed to evade the attack. But Morgenstern pines her down before breaking both her wings, putting her out of the fight.
Celestia renewed her attack, but Morgenstern managed to direct one of her blows against the story glass. Celestia blasted Morgenstern back to give herself a moment to regain her composure. Morgenstern quickly charged again, driving Celestia, and a rejoined Cadance and Shining Armor out onto the exterior balcony. As they battled along the balcony, Morgenstern kicked Celestia hard in the face, driving her further back and breaking her horn.
As the trio gave ground, Morgenstern started telekinetically blasting metal shards at them. Driven to the end of the balcony, Shining Armor leaped backward onto a pillar, Cadance and Celestia trying the same but Morgenstern hits Celestia wings with a Azure beam, taking her out of the fight. Cadance and Shining Armor retreating along the pillars with Morgenstern in close pursuit.
Attempting to gain the offensive, Cadance attacked first, only to be driven back by Morgenstern relentless assault. Leaping off the pillar onto one of the collection arms below them, Shining Armor again attacked, though Morgenstern easily fended off his blows before knocking Shining Armor aside with a heavy backhand. Morgenstern again seized the offensive, viciously driving Cadance back along the arm, despite her's staunch resistance.
Morgenstern raised his hand, calling forth massive pillars of Lava. Retreating to the relative safety of one of the stone walls, Cadance and Shining Armor watched as the heat and weight of the lava melted the castle, the combatants fled up along the length of a pillar.
Following close behind, Morgenstern kept up his onslaught, driving Shining Armor and Cadance further up the pillar. After a quick bout of swinging attacks, Morgenstern struck Cadance horn, before blasting her into the ground with a stream of his lightning.
"Cadance!", Shining Armor screamed out in horror, before turning to rage at Morgenstern, who was greatly enjoying his look. "See how weak you'r realy are? You can't even protect the one you love."
"You pay for that!", Shining Armor declares as he began another bout of blade work with Morgenstern before breaking off. Morgenstern leaped above Shining Armor, attempting to take advantage of this and Shining Armor attacked, but Morgenstern defended himself and counter-attacked, beginning another flurry of swordplay. As Morgenstern leap at Shining Armor, blade angled for the kill, he left himself open, allowing Shining Armor to executed a vicious teleportation finishing move.
Shining Armor teleported right in front of Morgenstern, his horn just touching his left eye ball, and blasting it with all the energy he had. As Shining Armor takes a moment to recompose himself, Morgenstern grabs his by his throat smashing him into a wall before looking Shining Armor in the eyes, struggling to breath.
"I have never known pain, nor fear, nor weakness. I know only destruction.", Morgenstern declared, his right eye start to charge his Azure Beam as to Shining Armor's shock, Morgenstern left side starts to regenerate. As Morgenstern blast Shining Armor point bank range, he could barley conjure up his famous shield before taking the full blow.
Morgenstern drops a barley alive Shining Armor on the ground, as he turns around around as he lifts them all up, dragging them towards the Throne room before taking a seat. "Be at peace. The struggle of life will soon be over for you.", Morgenstern said, slouching back into the throne. "J-Jason, Twily and the others will just blast you with the Elements' powers.", Shining Armor said, lifting his head slightly.
"And do what? Turn me to stone or make me regress in age?", Morgenstern asked amused, a slight smirk on his face, but it disappeared when Shining Armor coughs up some blood. "Careful, you have a collapsed lung.", Morgenstern said using his own X-ray vision, a slight hint of worry in his tone. "Do not worry you have fought bravely. But I am smarter, faster and stronger. It ended the only way it could.", he then turned to Celestia, who was laying at his feet.
"Anyways, Celestia. How do you feel? Knowing that Jason will soon be mine?", he asked. Celestia didn't answered, she couldn't fight, but she wouldn't give Morgenstern the satisfaction of letting him humiliate her. "A bit defiant, I see. Good, good. Otherwise this would be boring. Oh, by the way, I know about your attraction towards both Jason and Lily Skywalker.", Princess Celestia's eyes widened like dinner plates, "H-how did you!?..."
"I didn't, you just confirmed it.", he spoke, "Jason loves you too, you know. One one hand, you had always been the mother to him he never had. On the other hand, he too had romantic feelings for you. Not strong enough to become a full fledged love. But he liked you in a romantic way.", the confused look on Celestia's face sealed it all for him.
