Injured scouts came through the doors of Celestia's castle, as one of them had collapsed from damage and exhaustion. The others had been taken to be healed, as the captain of the scouts approached Celestia. He was weak, and looked like he was about to kick the bucket.
"M-Milady Celestia.... we have f-found the... Shadow-lings territory... Send your.... Remaining heroes.... to the castle ruins of.... Everfree..." He panted before passing out. Two of the guards helped the guard get to a hospital bed inside the castle. Before long, Mokuba, Caring and Twilight came out with Mokuba's new sword, Monoceros.
"Twilight, Caring, get the Elements of Harmony and bring Mokuba to the Castle Ruins at the end of Everfree Forest. That's where the Shadow-lings are coming from." Celestia told them. Twilight nodded and got her friends. She hoped this would end well.
"Alright, There is a whole army coming through the main doors of the abandoned castle, and if we storm there we get overwhelmed. However, due to the castle being very old, they have a giant opening to the 4th floor, and their portal and commander will be coming from the 5th floor. We shut the portal down here and eliminate their leader, the portals that were spawned all across Equistera will shut down and all the Shadow-lings will vanish. Understood?" Mokuba rallied them before they were to enter the castle ruins. They all nodded their heads in agreement and went to where Mokuba lead them.
Mokuba, Caring and Twilight used their magic to make a small levitating platform that lead to the giant hole in the walls of the 4th floor. Mokuba began to focus up on what was to come, and as they arrived at the giant hole in the 4th floor, he, alongside the Elements of Harmony and Caring, stormed the 4th floor. They began making short work of the Shadow-lings to fight their way to the 5th floor. Using his new sword, Mokuba finished off hordes of Shadow-lings with ease.
They fought their way to the 5th floor, as they arrived, there was a gateway portal to the room.
"Alright, once we get in, we'll have to storm their leader. Are you guys ready?" Twilight asked, and they all nodded in agreement, taking the gateway portal to the throne room of the abandoned castle.
