The Battle Against Parallex, Part 2

Darkness then began to back off, and as he did so, "Everypony! Back off! We cannot defeat him!"

Violet Winter said with sheer determination, "We can! Everypony! Back away from Parallex, and focus our self-confidence together, and make the sword! This time, just the sword! Not like last time, where we split the sword into smaller weapons! We need our full power, our full confidence, put into one weapon!"

Rainbow Dash said, "But then that means..."

Solar Blaze nodded, and said, "It'll be Snowshy's fight, from here on out, and it'll be up to her, to save us all."

Snowshy said, "But I'm not sure I can do this..... Against that commander was one thing, but against a celestial evil? Completely different."

Violet Winter assured her, and said, "Actually, not exactly, Parallex may be stronger, smarter, and more cunning, but you have something he doesn't."

Snowshy asked, "And that is?"

Violet Winter said, "Self-Confidence, hope, and friends, and that's something, the likes of Parallex with never understand."

Snowshy said nothing, as she thought about those words, as everypony and Snowshy backed far away from Parallex, and he immediately knew what everypony was up to, because he grew into a fit of rage, and said, "OH NO, YOU DON"T! I WILL NOT BE BEATEN, BY A BUNCH OF LOWLY LIFE FORMS, SUCH AS YOURSELVES!" Parallex, then as fast as he could fly, flew towards everypony, and shot all of his magic swords at once, at everypony, as Darkness stood in front of everypony, ready to try and block as much of Parallex's attacks, if need be.

Violet Winter said, "We have one shot at this! Hurry!"

Everypony bowed their heads, and focused harder than they ever had before, and the sword began to form, and Parallex saw this, and with everything he had, flew as fast as his wings would let him, as he began casting powerful spells, and threw them too, at everypony. Seconds later, the sword had completely formed, and landed in Snowshy's hooves, as she took it, and wielded it with her right hoof, as Violet Winter said, "We have faith in you! Never lose hope or faith!"

Darkness said, "That's right! Snowshy, my sister, you alone have seen us all, myself included when I was alive, you saw us through very dark days, all by yourself, with much less of a powerful weapon! Why, you ask? Because you believed in yourself, as much as your friends believed in you! You wanted to make sure nothing bad ever happened to them. And make sure the present, and the future, would always be secure, as long as you drew breath, many evils cowered before that brilliance! Believe in yourself, as you once did!"

Snowshy only had a few moments, before all of Parallex's attacks, and as she heard everything that everypony else was saying as well, she began to believe, she began to feel the same strength, as she used to, all those years ago, and she was going through all her memories of her friends, and of the great moments, she had shared with her brother, it was if time had slow down significantly, as everypony else, braced themselves for the end, and Darkness now went to shield everypony else from the attacks now, and Snowshy closed her eyes, and a tear ran down her cheek, and then she opened her eyes, and her eyes lit up, as the great fire within her, had reignited, and she wore a face and feeling of determination so fierce, it began to show in sword, as it began to grow brighter. She then looked up at Parallex, and time seemed to go back to normal, as she got into battle stance, and parried every single one of Parallex's attacks, and then Parallex himself, as his claws, and her sword, clashed, and the two created sparks, as Snowshy's sword, and Parallex's claws, were locked in a power battle, to try and weaken the other. Snowshy won it, and she effortlessly, flung Parallex back, a long ways away from her, as Parallex cried out in fear, as he tumbled around in circles, until he regained his balance, and skidded to a halt, and regained his proper footing, and this time, he stayed on the ground, as most of his wings, were broken, and could not be used for flight.

Parallex looked at Snowshy with so much hate and anger, that Snowshy returned the look, with a glare of a true fighting spirit, as everypony had seen what had just happened, and continued to watch in awe. Then, Snowshy did something unsuspected, and took off so fast towards Parallex, everypony thought she had vanished into thin air. She was moving so fast towards Parallex, that not even he could see where she had went, till she was directly in front of him, as she raised her sword, and cut off several of Parallex's claw-like legs, as he had raised them, to defend himself, and he cried out in pain, as his black-purple ish blood, began gushing from the severed legs, and he quickly began to back away from Snowshy. He then called forth as many magic swords he could, and began to cast one million of his most powerful spells, and filled, all but twenty of his legs, with massive swords, and gave out a cry of hatred and fear, as he threw all those spells and Snowshy, and sent one billion magic swords, at Snowshy as he raised his swords, ready to strike at Snowshy.

Snowshy moved even faster, as she parried spells here, blocked magic swords over there, all the while, making her way closer to Parallex, as he too, got closer and closer to Snowshy. As Snowshy got into striking distance of Parallex, he began swinging in all directions, as he began to laugh, and said, "THERE IS NO WAY, YOU CAN DODGE ALL OF THIS! YOU WILL DIE!!!!! DIE!!!!!!!"

Snowshy stayed calm, and continued to block the magic swords, and spells, while parrying Parallex's own attacks, and in some moments, Snowshy began to throw back the magic swords she caught, back at Parallex, who was shocked by this, as he said, "IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN A MISERABLE MORTAL RAT, SUCH AS YOURSELF, HANDLE THAT MUCH POWER, LET ALONE CATCH IT! IT CANNOT BE DONE! IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! IT CANNOT BE!......"
Snowshy did not let Parallex's chatter distract her, she had her mind in focus. Snowshy and the sword, were in complete harmony, for she had her sights set, on her next move, on where to strike, for she now knew where Parallex's weakness was, by how much Parallex moved, she saw an opening in his armor, and she was going for it. She moved so fast, that Parallex kept missing her, and she caught one of Parallex's own massive swords, that he had now began throwing at her, and aimed at Parallex's face, and threw it back at him, so fast, and with such force, that Parallex barely caught it, but the force of the throw, began to push him backwards, as he held the sword in between to of his claw-like legs. While Parallex was busy with this, Snowshy made her way to the back of Parallex, and saw the opening, and raised her sword to strike. Parallex saw this and said, "NOOO! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!!" As he threw the sword aside, and rushed, headfirst at Snowshy, and deflected Snowshy's attack in desperation, but as he did so, that his head landed onto the ground, as he struggled to get back up. Snowshy then saw anther opportunity, and quickly went for Parallex's head, and raised her sword, ready to attack. Parallex saw this, and raised his legs together, to shield his face, but Snowshy cut them all off, one by one, and then Snowshy jumped high into the air, as Parallex cried in agony, as she raised her sword up high, and aimed for Parallex's left eye. Before Parallex could react, Snowshy landed the sword, into his left eye, for his other eye, had been taken out by Snowshy, in their first battle against each other.

Parallex screamed in pain, and began to thrash about, sending spells, and swords, every which way, and said, "YOU MISERABLE LITTLE, PONY! WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU WILL SUFFER THE AGONY OF A MILLION SOULS!"

While Parallex continued to trash about, and running around, trying to find Snowshy, with his sight completely gone, Snowshy headed for Parallex's head, as she split her sword into two, and lunged the first half of the sword, deep in the middle of Parallex's skull, and then made her way to the back of Parallex, and plunged the other half, deep in the end of Parallex's body, and with newfound strength, the sword lit with bright a flame, and then Snowshy was engulfed in it, as she began to run the sword up through Parallex's body, as she made her way towards Parallex's head, on the other end of his body. Parallex couldn't do anything, as the pain was too great, for him to react, and as Snowshy came close to Parallex's head, she pulled out the half the sword, she had lunged into his skull, and with the other, finished cutting Parallex, completely in half, as Snowshy landed with her back turned to Parallex, and merged the swords back together. Parallex's blood spewed all over the place, as his body squirmed in pain, as everypony came up to Snowshy, to congratulate her, and to tell her how awesome what had just happened, was.

Parallex's laughter could be heard from behind everypony, and everypony turned around, and got a little closer to the now split in half face of Parallex, as he coughed up his own blood, and said, "Heh, heh, heh, you idiots......'cough!' You think.....this....is the end?!....HAHAHA! 'cough, cough!' IT IS.....ONLY BEGINNING!.......'splutter, splutter!'. You....think....killing me...will solve anything?! You think....defeating and killing Arrovak....is to stop from what's to come?! YOU FOOLS! The End War will come!"

Everypony looked at each other, except for Darkness, who looked away, and Violet Winter asked, "The End War? Why should we be concerned about that? That's just something you made up, to dampen our spirits! Well, it won't work!"

The split in half face of Parallex, looked at Darkness, and then tried to smile, and it looked horrible, as he said, "Am I? Perhaps, you should ask one of your friends, who seems to know more about it than he lets on!"

Everypony turned to look at Darkness, as Snowshy said, "Well? What's going here? Is it true?"

Darkness sighed, and said, "Yes, it is true." Darkness walked in front of everypony, and said, "I am so sorry, I never said anything about this, but I was afraid it would dampen all your spirits, and this fight now, would be lost." Darkness paused for a moment, and then said, "Let me explain what's going to happen: when the world reaches its final days of life, and all or most of life on this planet had died, Darkness Night, will be free from his ashen prison, and any celestial evils that are dead, will be reborn, and restored to their original forms. This too, goes for any celestial evil, that exists as any present evil now, when the body of these present evils pass on, the original essence, of the celestial evils, will be reborn and restored to their original forms as well. They will all band together, and kill planet after planet, universe after universe, until they turn everything into dust, the stars included. Bur before the celestial evils start their rampage, all heroes, from the past, present, and those still living, or dead, will be all called from the hall of heroes, as the Gods Of Equestria, will fight alongside all the heroes, for the biggest fight ponykind has ever known. This war will be the war to end all wars, the war that will define once and for all, whether evil will reign, or be totally eliminated for good, and wiped from existence. But the same rule will apply to the heroes, and the Gods Of Equestria, as well, if they are to lose, hope, faith, love, compassion, self-confidence, friendships, all heroes, the Gods Of Equestria, and their spirits, will cease to be....none of it will ever exist....ever again."

Darkness took a breath, and then said, "Because once the heroes, and Gods Of Equestria lose, the celestial evils, will go to the spiritual realm, and wipe it of existence as well, and all heroic spirits, that might still be there. Evil, despair, hatred, vengeance, hate, hopelessness, all these things, will all that will be left, if the celestial evils are to win that war, when the time comes."

Parallex laughed manically, and he continued to choke on his own blood, and said, "That's right! And we evils will win! Because all of your efforts now, only make us all stronger in the end! So, in the end, my death, means nothing! You all have lost! hahaha! 'cough, cough, cough!' I still...win!"

Snowshy, then went up to Parallex, and held the sword close to Parallex's left half of his face, and she said, "Think what you want, it's not over, till we all say it is! The end war is not here yet! But when it is, I'll make sure, you are the first to die! Now, where is Arrovak, and I'll make this quick!"

Parallex laughed a little, and then said, "It makes no difference! Even when you all face Arrovak, he is much stronger than me by now! You all will have no chance, and you will face your doom, you will look at your final moments!"

Snowshy began to slowly thrust the sword, into the middle of Parallex's left half of his skull, and she said, "I won't ask again..WHERE....IS....ARROVAK!?"

Parallex sputtered out the words, "By now, halfway across the western seas, as he...makes his way towards the Tall Tale Isle.....heh...heh...heh....you'll never stop him......in time....!" Parallex inhaled his last breath, and then his body moved no more, and his mouth opened, and grew still, and it was on this day Parallex had been defeated and killed.

Just then, Parallex's evil laughter echoed throughout the area, and his voice could be heard, as he said, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MWAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA! You may have killed me, but can you escape it time?......"

Parallex's voice, and his chilling, evil laughter, faded away, and the chaotic portal opened back up, and as everypony looked back, Parallex's body had begun to glow, and the portal began to crack, and everypony quickly went through it, as they were transported back to the chaotic world dimension, as it all began to shake, crack, and shatter like glass, as Violet Winter said, "We need to find a way out of here! Before we all get killed, by the collapse of this dimension!"
