After reading the long description, I realized something: doesn't part of this sound like the premise of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

I'm not complaining, I'm just pointing it out.

What made you decide to post the whole arc at once?

Knock down, drag out, bloody life or death brawls are some of the bread and butter of the comic series this is a crossover of.

10078147
The premise is from the crossover this is based off of which is older than Smash Bros. (Mid 90s whereas the first Smash Bros is 1999). Hence the correct way to say it is that Smash Bros. sounds like it.

And here i thought it was a new student at CHS, I didn't see another Sunset at CPA.

Oh dear are we going to have a daybreaker.:twilightoops:

Oh hello human Sunset.

Time for an Another story! Though I doubt we'll need to hijack a timeline in this case. Assuming this isn't just a Demon trick.

Personally speaking, Sunset didn’t care, she missed her bike, she missed the freedom it gave her, and right now, for all she cared, it could’ve been a bike ridden by a serial killer or a mafia boss, can’t fault the machine, it wasn’t like it could choose who rode it or not.

Oh, Shimmy. You'd be surprised. XP

“Eeeee! A 2019 Honda Valkyrie 1800!” Sunset ran so fast that she might as well have teleported, because by the time Shining Armor bothered to turn his head, Sunset was gone and already at the bike.

Hm! Cool bike!

Yeah, Angelus has the typical "Conquer by friendship" mindset, like a politician in election year, she will impose her order and harmony, so extreme kindness; anyway, two situations in the same arc, let's see what comes next.

10078209 I just wanted to get all the players on the board, so that way I would''nt have to leave you all guessing. From here on out though, the updates will be...whenever I finish writing the chapter(s).

10078295 Suprise! :pinkiehappy:

10078354 Thank you!

10078481 It just screamed Sunset Shimmer when I first saw it. And a badass gal like her deserves a badass looking bike. :rainbowdetermined2:

Other shimmer has the ember stone... That's gonna be a fun meeting.

10078580 YES! You caught it! Thank you! You win......I don't have a prize to give...damn, didn't think anyone would notice that obscure Artitfact....uh...*slips an I.O.U. on the table and flies away* :twilightsheepish:

Ok just binged and wow sunsets in for so many more headaches. Also laud is still the best please tel me well get to see more of her

10078584
I read the Witchblade manga and watched the anime, then tried to read the comics, got really into the lore of the top cow universe (as I tend to with things) and read as much as I could find about it. It's annoying how little there is on the other artefacts. Also played the darkness games, can't remember which level I got stuck on in 2.

I am so excited you continued on and adding more lore from the comics!

Weeelllll, that's a twist. Hmm. We have the potential for SciSet in addition to SunPie. Ravencroft, you're spoiling us.

So does the one that is in Celestia destroy her cloths too when she gets armored up?

10079091 Nope, they're just broken down at atomic level and replaces them with armor. Unlike a certain symbiotic armor. Looking at you Witchblade. :trixieshiftleft:

10079155

Does the spirit in Celestia make the armor look Super Sexy like the Witchblade Armor or what, maybe you could post a link to show the armors that Sunset, Celestia and Sombra wear?

10079187

For the Angelus she can do sexy armor, but given the setting she was in at the time, she went with full armor, much like the WItchblade does when assessing threats, I was also trying to model it close to the Daybreaker version of Celestia. So this is as close to a visual as I can get.

I couldn't find a good lookalike for Sombra, the Darkness armor is maliable, it can change its look according to the will of its current host to better suit them. I modeled Sombra's armor after his dark unicorn counterpart. But essentially, this is base.

Sunset's armor is kind of a hybrid. Her armor is a combination of the anime version and comic versions.

Well I just have this to say......Mother and Son really know how to make their hosts look GOOD, I mean come on just look at how they are like skin tight on the hosts bodies like that to show off all their curves, also I always thought that the Witchblade was female not male.

}}} My Father is one side of a destructive spectrum. While my Mother is another, she’s a force of good, who seeks harmony and order, and smites disorder and sin. {{{

That doesn’t sound necessarily bad…

}}} On the surface, no. But… {{{

A balance between yin and yang is needed for any world to function and thrive. Either side could easily destroy the world around it without its opposite to keep it in check.

10079291 According to the lore, the Darkness seeks male hosts and it is male (as male as a primordial entity can get), the Angelus is female and seeks out female hosts. The Witchblade was born of both of them and is male, and to balnace it seeks a female as its host.

10079308
Both forces go the extreme lengths. Angelus desires absolute order, ignoring their hosts' wishes.

10078569

You know, this will be a fun ride.

The young genius shook her head, she didn’t know where this was all coming from. She never showed any interest in either gender, so why did being around Sunset Shimmer feel so right?

The necklace. It has to be. It's too well detailed and too well built up to not be the necklace. She's got one of the magic items.

So, Fire, Holy, Dark, Light and Balance. This is going to be one heck of a party.

And just like that, I'm instantly getting some bad vibes off of Angelus. The part of the speech about her being against all crime, the Sentinels, how Witchblade doesn't trust her. Just screams "Totalitarian Pseudo-Utopia". And that part about her "being made by God to combat The Darkness"? IDK, man. That part feels like propaganda to me. Like things are being twisted somehow. And I feel like it's only a matter of time before Sunset starts fighting both The Darkness and The Angelus. Though, that part is obvious. The Keeper of Balance can't pick favorites.

If I remember correctly Witchblade isn't on either of their sides in the comic, let's see what caused that.

Dang, as Dark as Sombra is I have to give him respect for some standards

Indigo is cruising for a bruising if she doesn't back off. I'm pretty sure that Sunset's getting savvy to what the students of CPA have been doing to her new friend, and I'm also sure that she's not going to let it keep happening.

Glad things in WB-Sunny's life are going well. New ride, dates with fun incarnate, school not being a bunch of bastards. Hope she enjoys the peace before the next storm rises.

Sombra, you're an evil bastard, but I love that you're at least honorable.

So... 5 out of 13 in one place...

I smell artifakt war on the hurizon.

10079977
Because the Witchblade understands the dangers of extreme. Celestia is the host of extreme order so.even a petty crime is harshly punished.

10078580
I decided to look up the Ember Stone. Along with the Darkness, Witchblade and Angelus, the Ember Stone is also one of the 13 Artefacts.

Tyranny is a type of order. Do not conflate law with good.

Things are escalating quickly.

I like it 😈

10079863
From what I remember if the comics, The Angelus is just as bad as The Darkness in a lot of ways. The problem is that they both operate at the extreme ends of the spectrum and that's NEVER a good thing

10092019
Or absolutism. The light is pure "good". But, it clearly doesn't tolerate anything that is a "sin". Well, how far will it go to remove "sin"? Are there degrees, or are all crimes equal in its view?

Loved the original story, and love this one! Keep up the good work!

And so, we begin to see the danger of absolutes. Yes, the Angelus is a force of pure good, but pure good can be just as cruel as pure evil if there is no space for free will.

Despite her name and appearance, the Angelus is not an angel. She is the being of order, and while she may not cause senseless violence like the Darkness, she will not hesitate to kill innocent people to maintain her view of order.

really the Angelus isn't even pure good as good and evil are mainly just points of view. The Angelus just can't tolerate anything impure by its standard.
