Third Person POV:
If there was ever a clash of Gods, this would be one of them.
The sky, although beautifully blue, had clouds torn apart and the air devoured by magic and rage. The magics and the elements of fire, air and earth devastated the lands below the leaders of two factions; Equestria and The Horde of The Forest.
The princesses had their own strengths and weaknesses in their fight against the elemental champion. The princess of the sun was more experienced in combat, she had faced many battles in her time and very rarely loses to them. But despite her experience, she lacked in speed unlike the other princesses, which Dynol The Dammed used to his advantage by swing his rocky flail mace with incredible speed. The princess of the night relied heavily on her enchanted blade than anything else. The blade she used against the shadow king increased her agility and magical defensives. However, she is very impatient and restless when it come to combat. Dynol, mostly focused his attention on her and the princess of friendship, took her weakness and made her come to him so he could quickly use his molten blade to caught her off guard. The princess of love was by far the quickest of all the princesses. She dived down at the champion and used her staff to deal some damage on him. But however she, along with the princess of friendship, haven't had a lot of combat experience so this was still new to her. Dynol relied on his powers of air to slow down the princess so he could deal with her with ease. Finally there was the princess of friendship. She fought the elemental champion through magic, trying to aid her fellow princesses as she casted spells after spells onto the Lord of the Forest. But like the princess of love, she has not got a lot of combat experience beside fighting Tirek with all of the princesses powers combined within her.
Dynol, although outnumbered four to one, had one upper hand in the fight. As the battle took place in the sky, Dynol used the power of the air to make it a battle of his choosing. He could easily catch the princesses in a grip from the air, casts waves of flames from his molten blade or even crash them with his mighty flail mace. To say the least; the princesses may have the numbers, but they don't have the upper hand in battle that Dynol does.
Right now, Cadence and Twilight were just flying above the furious conflict between Luna and Dynol whilst Celestia was catching her breath as well as trying to find an opening. Luna was desperate to go on the offence, but Dynol kept that from happening by either using his molten blade to strike quick and without mercy in close combat or swinging his rocky flail mace with speed and ferocity at far range as well as casting fireballs.
"You are outnumbered, Dynol!" Luna shouted at Dynol as their blades clashed into each other as they looked at each other's eyes.
"But I'm not outgunned!" Dynol chuckled as his mask burnt bright. Dynol's eyes glowed brighter than the rest of the mask, almost like....
Luna knew what was coming and broke away from Dynol, just as two lines of lava spatted out from his mask's eyes. This was all Luna's sister needed as she flapped her wings and dived straight at Dynol's back with her halberd aiming true. Dynol turned his head and saw the incoming princess as he swung his mace around, along with his body facing where the princess was coming from. Said princess gasped as she casted a bubble shield around her as the mace slammed into it with sheer force. The impact caused the princess to span uncontrollably towards the east, far from the battle taking place.
"This is all?!" Dynol yelled, chuckling some more from how things are going. "Is this what the mighty princesses of Equestria can do? This is not a battle this is just a disgrace!" He then turned his attention to where the other princesses was, namely Cadence and Twilight. Dynol grinned as he flow towards them with his molten blade pointing forward whilst swinging his mace above his head. Twilight casted bolts of magic at him, hoping to land a hit on him. Instead, he merely altered his position by either flying above them or around them, but he still held his blade forward and his mace swinging above his head.
But when Dynol was in just a few feet from the princesses, swinging his mace right at them. Twilight teleported away from Dynol, avoiding being crushed by his flail mace whilst Cadence flow just above Dynol's rock flail mace. She then flow around Dynol and strike Dynol's back with her staff, making him grunted in pain and annoy.
"Twilight, go help Celestia!" Cadence said to her sister-in-law as Dynol turned around to look straight at her. His molten blade glowed bright as lava covered the edges of the blade. "I'll hold him off as long as I can!" Twilight nodded as she flew to where Celestia was still spinning uncontrollably. Cadence then flew back at Dynol, spinning her staff to get him thinking where to strike. Dynol chuckled once more, watching the princess of love charging at him with speed and ferocity. Dynol waited for Cadence to come to him, swinging his mace once again above his head. He then swung his mace towards the princess, hoping for his trick would work. Cadence dodged the mace and was about to hit Dynol's chest. However, his molten blade clashed with her staff, holding them in place as sparks flew off the weapons.
"Why, Dynol?" Cadence asked as they both stared into each other's eyes. "Why war? Why kill hundreds? What is to gain from this bloodshed?"
"My words won't change anything, your highness" Dynol replied sinisterly. "But what I want, is not what you want" Dynol swung his blade to the right, only for Cadence to block it with her staff.
"Then tell me!" She yelled at him, angrily and desperately to know the reason. "What is it that I don't want you to have!?"
"Justice, upon those who spark the flames of war!" Dynol bellowed as he headbutted Cadence in the face, his mask burnt her fur as she yelled in pain, causing her aunt; Luna to narrow her eyes in rage while Dynol then proceeded to knee her once again in the face. As Luna's sword glowed dark blue as well as her flying at top speed toward her niece and foe. Dynol swung his mace around the princess's body. The chains rapping around her, burning her skin. Dynol then swung the mace, and in turn the princess, downwards causing Cadence to fall down to the ground, creating a large crater that went down three feet in the soil. This caused Luna's blood to boil, her niece taken down by Dynol without mercy. Her eyes went white and her blade glowed brighter, this however made Dynol turn his gaze towards the princess of the furious night. Dynol went on the defence as he brought his arms up into a X shape and swung them to his side, creating a X shape air strike at Luna. But Luna went though it without stopping. Dynol wasn't fast enough before Luna's sword stabbed into his left side of his chest. Dynol roared in pain as he thumped his mace right on Luna's back, making her fell, like her niece, straight to the ground but a mile away from the crater where Cadence tried to get out but her wounds were great. Dynol flew down away her as he disenchanted his rocky flail mace. Luna tried to get up, but fell down from a extreme stinging pain coming from her upper back and wings along with two hind legs. Once Dynol landed down, he looked down at where the sword was stuck in his chest and used his free hand to grab its handle, pulling out slowly but it was painful to say the least. He grunted and and breathed through his teeth as he pulled it out of his chest as blood poured out his chest. He threw the blade to the side and placed his hand over his wound to prevent anymore blood from pouring out of him.
"What's the matter, Lord Dynol?" Luna said with a weak chuckle. "Losing too much blood to keep on fighting?"
"That's not what you should be worried about" Dynol sinisterly replied back as he walked up to her with his molten blade glowing bright and dripping lava onto the ground. He then kicked on her left side to force her to lay on her already painful back. She hissed in agony as Dynol stomped his right foot onto her chest and left it there. "The scout back home gave a lot of good info about your people's weaknesses because of a certain 'method' I used on her" His foot then grew hotter and hotter as Luna yelled in pain. "But unfortunately for you, all I require from you....is to suffer and die"
"And she won't give that today" Came a motherly voice. Dynol turned his head towards where the voice came from and saw Celestia standing behind him with her halberd pointing at his back.
"Had a nice spin, did you?" Dynol laughed.
"It's over Dynol, surrender and answer for your crimes"
Dynol growled furiously as he flew back into the sky with speed before Celestia could acted. She looked up as Dynol looked down at her. He then lifted his molten blade up into the air and bellowed;
"The only thing I answer to, is the ones who taught me THIS!!"
Suddenly, storms of clouds came out of nowhere and began to fold into one giant ball of raw power. Fires was seen inside of the storm, raging and uncontrollably like a hornets raiding a bee hive. Celestia knew well enough what's going on. Dynol was casting his infamous flaming vortex he used at the battle of Ponyville. She quickly went to her sister and helped her up onto her hooves as Twilight supported her sister-in-law onto hers.
"We need to move now!" Celestia shouted. "Where's the Lunatics?"
As if her words could predict the future, the Lunatics came out of the Everfree forest with a battlefield filled with the bodies of the Horde's warriors in a pool of their own blood. Leading them was Arcana with Shamrock and Firestorm right behind him. Storm Days had a blooded Snow Charm on his back and Spike holding pressure on Snow's wounds, making sure that she doesn't die from blood loss. Even though many warriors were slain, Behemoth, WoodFang and Llofrudd rallied their remaining forces and chased after them. As the Lunatic were getting closer to Celestia, she flowed her horn and opened a portal to Canterlot.
"Hurry everyone!" Celestia called out to her ponies. "Into the portal, let's move move move!" She then helped her sister into the portal as quickly as possible whilst the rest followed suit. As the last pony entered the portal, it then closed behind, making sure that the Horde wouldn't pursuit.
Dynol roared in anger as he dismissed his casting of the vortex and landed back down on the ground, creating his own crater as to how pissed off he was of seeing not only the princesses escaping, but the Lunatics and Spike themselves escaping as well.
While the Behemoth and Llofrudd ordered their warriors to halt, WoodFang rushed up to his master folded his ears back, seeing his master so cross, as well as being injured. He whippered softly from the scene.
Dynol's mask folded off his face, revealing a stern face. "How many was sent to deal with the five intruders, WoodFang?" Dynol asked. Which WoodFang replied with a quite bark. "I see, and how many are left?" WoodFang lowered his head and gave another quite bark, something his master didn't like to hear. Dynol made a silent growl that only WoodFang could hear. He then walked up to to his councillors. "Behemoth, Llofrudd! I sent almost half of Ponyville's garrison, along with your best warriors to taken care of FIVE damn ponies and from what I've been told is that we lost around half of what I'd sent!?" The two didn't gave an answer, there is nothing they can say to say. Dynol grunted and walked away from them, looking at Canterlot in the distance.
"My lord!" A dog coming out of the forest on all four. He then reached Dynol and kneeled down behind him. "My lord, the pony scout at Castle Rhyfel has escaped"
Dynol narrowed his eyes as he turned around and blasted the dog away with air. The yelped in fright as he flew in the air and collided with a tree while the rest watched with wide eyes.
"Could this day can get any worse?" Dynol said to himself as cover his hands in water to heal his stab wound.
Suddenly, WoodFang started to barking at where Ponyville was. Everyone looked at what he was barking and saw something coming over the mountains. Three large reptilian creatures with wings heading straight towards Ponyville.
The dragons.
Dynol started to walk. "Let's hope this will end in my favour rather than having another enemy in this war"
