Masters of the Blade

Equestria. Out in the hills. Day.

An Ultra Wormhole.

Still lounging around this world thanks to Team Plasma. And they haven't disappeared since. Because these Ultra Wormholes were constantly open, Ultra Beasts have full access to them. And a returning Ultra Beast had just passed through it. Not on its lonesome though. This time it brought allies with it in few numbers.

UB-04 Blade.

Kartana.

"Srehtorb emoclew." Kartana once again spoke backwards to its fellow Drawn Sword Pokemon. They all spoke it. "Detset eb nac sretsamdrows sa seitiliba eurt ruo erehw dlrow a si siht. Devorpmi evah yeht fi ees ot hsiw I taht sregnellahc yhtrow emos tem evah I. Em htiw emoc won."

The Kartana had all flown off heading for a specific civilization. They were here for only one reason. The same reason every Kartana has. To test their strengths as sword wielders. The Pokemon nearby watched as these origami-styled Pokemon hovered through the air speaking in a language that is familiar to them but backwards.

It was time for them to test their strength.


Ponyville. Twilight's lab. Afternoon.

Currently, Twilight was hanging out with some of the Pokemon that came from PokePark. The door to PokePark was open as it led to the Cove Town in the Cove Area first before anything.

As always, staying by Twilight's side was Bisharp. Now that the Pokemon from PokePark are showing up outside recently, Bisharp was able to keep guard of Twilight at all times now. Twilight had the book about the Harmony Phenomenon in her hooves showing it to them. She believed that every Pokemon from PokePark could reach this phenomenon. Professor Sycamore was the one to deduce it first, however.

Her lab was flooded with Pokemon from mainly Cove Town. The three Elemental Monkeys were playing around like monkeys usually do, no matter the universe, jumping around Twilight's lab just to cause some chaos. "Pan! Pansear!"

"Esp? Espeon!" Espeon tried stopping these monkeys, chasing them as a purple, green, red and blue blur was all that could be seen from their rapid movements. Cinccino had met with her pre-evolution Minccino. Upon seeing each other, they both noticed that they had some dirt on them.

"Minccino?!"

"Cinccino?!" It all started with Minccino leaving the cove area and touching Cinccino once. After seeing the dirt, the two of them started cleaning each other, sharing the same mind essentially. After cleaning each other, they called it a swift job well done, only for Drilbur to pop out of the ground by using Dig, not only breaking some of it off but also bringing some dirt along.

"Drilbur!" Drilbur looked happy though when emerging into the lab with this form of travel.

"Cin?!

"Min?!" Annoyed that Drilbur had made such a mess, the two Normal-Types gave the Mole Pokemon a quick knock on the head. But Drilbur looked completely unphased before descending back into the hole.

"Axe! Axew!" Axew and Fraxure from PokePark were currently having a chat with Spike's Axew, who was an Equestrian Variant. Spike's Axew showed them that he could switch between his normal Unovan Form and his Equestrian Form. But he can go further.

His body flared with golden light before emerging as a Unovan Haxorus. But he had then switched it up, appearing as an Equestrian Haxorus. The first of his kind. "Haxorus!"

"Axew-ew!" Axew applauded this. It was a joy seeing its fellow Dragon-Type of the same family have a unique appearance and more power to unlock.

"Fraxure..." Fraxure was let down by this, lowering its head as it wished to see an Equestrian Fraxure. Sadly, that was not the case with Spike's Axew.

"They make things pretty hectic, don't you think, Twilight?" Starlight said while being carried by Drifblim.

"Twilight! Guess what?!" Bursting into the lab was none other than Fluttershy. She showed up with far more energy than she normally has.

"Huh?! What is it?!" Twilight gasped as Drifblim had dropped Starlight out of shock, only for the PokePark Audino to catch her, holding Starlight Glimmer as if she was a baby.

"Kartana's back!" Fluttershy had brought along the Ultra Beast that had once visited Equestria and had a friendly short competition with Bisharp. But this time, he came with his brethren. Five Kartana's had entered the lab, appearing before Princess Twilight Sparkle and her Pokemon.

Bisharp stood tall, saluting his fellow blade users as his platoon of Pawniward did the same. Ninetales and Togekiss looked at both sides for a bit before deciding to do the same thing out of fun. Ninetales put all of his tails to his head to salute while Togekiss used her wing. Pansage, Pansear and Panpour felt like doing the same.

"Ynop elttil ym, erom ecno teem ew. Elkraps thgiliwt ssecnirp, yas I dluohs ro." Kartana greeted Twilight while the rest of his species did the same.

"They said hello." Fluttershy translated to a simpler version.

"Oh, hello to you too, Kartana." Twilight greeted back. "It's a surprise to see you again. And with more of your species here too. I assume you're all here for one reason, right?"

"Edalb eht fo sretsam sa slliks ruo tset ot. egdenoH htiw gnola ,devorpmi sah prahsiB hcum woh ees ot ereh kcab emoc osla evah I tub."

"Kartana says that he came back to test his skills. But he also said that he wanted to see how much Bisharp and Aegislash, who used to be a Honedge have improved."

"Bisharp." Bisharp looked Kartana in the eyes. His hard-to-describe eyes. If they were even eyes.

"Well, in that case, what are we waiting for? I was also looking forward to seeing Kartana again. There are so many other things I wanted to see if he could cut through." Twilight walked over. "Spike. Call for Shining Armor."

"Got it!" Spike saluted.

"And as for me..I'll call Kaleidoscope. I want to see if Kartana can cut through Dynasite. It would have to take getting King Paramount and Queen Luminary's permission though."

"Fo kaeps uoy tisanyD siht si tahw?"

"Kartana asked what Dynasite is." Fluttershy translated.

"It's this powerful nigh-indestructible metal that is almost impossible to break. It took us needing the power of Aura to even shatter it." Twilight explained.

"I remember seeing Palkia break them with an attack that wasn't Aura. Do you think Legendary Pokemon are strong enough to do it without Aura?" Fluttershy pondered.

"It would make sense." Twilight nodded. "But let's see if Kartana's blade can cut through it. Even Pheromosa needed some help from Aura to break it."

"tuc t'nac I gnihton si ereht. etisanyD eht em gnirb."

"Bisharp. Get ready for a battle soon. You're going to do better than before, right?" Twilight looked at the Sword Blade Pokemon.

"Sharp! Bisharp!" Bisharp cried out before standing tall. He wanted a rematch ever since Kartana chipped off a part of his body. Now was a chance for him to get that rematch.


Shining Armor had been called over to Ponyville while multiple blocks of Dynasite had been brought over. They had been brought over by King Paramount himself and his guards. The Dynasite blocks were then dropped on the ground, making a loud thud along with a visible crack appearing. Twilight brought the rest of her friends over to watch this imminent display of sword skills.

"Here. Five blocks of Dynasite as you requested." Paramount spoke. Doing this one favour for them despite being a king was something he didn't mind. They had helped his nation from danger twice now after all. "And...you believe this Pokemon can cut through it, correct?"

"That's Kartana's deal. From what we've discovered, there's nothing this Ultra Beast can't cut through. But we wanted to see if it works on Dynasite." Twilight explained. "Without any Aura."

"Kartana's an Ultra Beast just like Pheromosa. Can he even break it?" Rainbow Dash wondered. "Might need some Aura for it. Get ready, Ash."

"Ah, I don't think I need to share some Aura," Ash replied.

"It's great to meet you again, Kartana. Aegislash has been looking forward to clashing blades with you again," said Shining Armor to the Drawn Sword Pokemon. "Look at him now."

"Aegislash!"

"Sharp!" Bisharp slid over, declaring that he had chosen to challenge Kartana first.

"There are other Kartana here, Bisharp," Fluttershy replied. "You have some extra options."

"Bisharp." The Dark-Steel-Type shook his head. "He knew there were four more but he wished to challenge the one who had chipped him, even if all the Kartana were equal in strength.

"Hmm...How about this?!" Ash raised his finger with an idea sprouting up. "Let's make it a free-for-all. Bisharp vs Aegislash vs Kartana. That way we'll see how each of 'em stack up. How does that sound?"

"Sharp..."

"Aegis..." Aegislash and Bisharp looked at each other before thinking about that approach. They just now noticed that neither of them have battled each other despite being Pokemon that were owned by two ponies who were related to each other. Both have had an encounter with Kartana and both are experts at the blade. "Slash!"

"Bisharp!" They agreed to it with a collective nod.

"It's a deal then." Twilight shrugged. "Is that okay with you, Shining?"

"Ah, sure. It also means we get to see who's the better Pokemon Trainer between us." He then put on a cheeky smile. It seemed like this was a moment he has been waiting for a while.

"First, the blocks. Are you ready, Kartana?" Twilight said to the five Drawn Sword Pokemon. They were always ready. "Then... go for it!"

The five Kartana had faced the five Dynasite blocks with everything falling silent. King Paramount had to see this for himself after learning that Kartan can apparently cut through anything. But will Dynasite be that roadblock?

The atmosphere also became quiet with the final howl of the wind going off. Afterwards, the five Ultra Beasts zoomed at great speeds, swinging their blades. They became blurs from their blinding speeds. A white streak had appeared before vanishing as it passed through the block. Everyone held their breath in anticipation, wondering if Kartana was truly capable of doing it without Aura.

That's when the result had come.

"Tcejbo sselhtrow a tuc ew ,erom ecno." They had cut through the blocks of Dynasite, cutting them in half. The two sides of the blocks dropped to the floor as Kartana could indeed cut through even Dynasite. Without needing Aura.

"Oh! They did it!" Ash gasped as everyone stood tall.

"Pikachu!"

Pheromosa emerged from her Poke Ball of her own will after hearing this. Once she let herself out, she saw that the blocks of Dynasite that even she had to use Aura to even damage had been sliced without Aura. By a fellow Ultra Beast to boot. Seeing this made Pheromosa puff her cheeks out of jealousy. "Mosa...!"

"Amazing!" Twilight went over to the sliced pieces. She gave them a mild poke as they had crumbled afterwards. "Well uh...that confirms that theory. Your blades are unbelievable Kartana."

"Tbuod yna reve ereht saw?"

"Bisharp..." Bisharp looked in awe before then looking at his arm. He already knew he wouldn't be strong enough to cut even Dynasite. This only showed how strong Kartana was in comparison to him, but he wouldn't let it get to him.

"Okay. Now that the Dynasite test is over, it's battle time." Twilight looked over at Bisharp. "I hope you're ready, Bisharp. It's been a long time since I've battled with you via commands."

"Sharp."

"Don't get nervous after seeing that, Aegislash." Shining Armor said to his partner. "Kartana may have the superior cutting strength, but let's see if it has the superior skills."

"Aegis!"

Twilight, Shining Armor and Kartana took their places. They stood in a triangle position. The perfect position for a free for all between three Pokemon. Bisharp polished his blade while Applejack walked over to take the role of referee. The other four Kartana would sit this one out, watching their fellow Drawn Sword Pokemon handle this himself.

"Alright, ya'll. There ain't no time limit for this and the battle's over if two Pokemon on either side are down and out." Applejack explained. "Shouldn't be too long anyway."

"Got it. Ready, Bisharp?"

"Bisharp!" Bisharp cried out with the sun rays beaming on his shiny body.

"Not as ready as Aegislash here."

"Aegislash!"

"Alright then." Applejack backed away before raising one hoof. She had then swung it down, initiating the battle. "Battle Start!"

"We'll go first! Bisharp, use Night Slash on Kartana!"

"Bisharp!" Bisharp made the first move. His bladed arms were coated in darkness as he threw himself towards the Grass-Steel-Type, targeting him first.

"I don't think so! Aegislash, Sacred Sword!"

"Aegis!" That is until Aegislash intervened. The Royal Sword Pokemon got in the way of Bisharp's attack, lighting his entire body up with an orange glow. Bisharp gasped, quickly switching to Aegislash as he had blocked the incoming Sacred Sword. His attack on Kartana had been halted.

"Sorry, Twily. But Aegislash has been looking forward to this for a while. Push Bisharp away!"

"Slash!" Aegislash used the strength of Sacred Sword to push Bisharp back. Bisharp still kept his guard up with his arms before staggering for a bit. Now it was Kartana's turn to attack. It went for a blindsiding attack on Aegislash, using Aerial Ace to move at confounding speeds.

"Behind you! Sacred Sword!"

"Aegislash!" Aegislash quickly turned around, meeting with Kartana's blade in the nick of time. Sacred Sword and Aerial Ace had connected with a mild shockwave going off. The two of them looked each other in the eyes before initiating a back-and-forth clash.

Sparks started flying when those two Pokemon started clashing their blades with ferocity and speed. The sound of metal clanging together also echoed through the area.

"Bisharp! Get in there with Night Slash!"

"Sharp!" Bisharp rushed into the fray while his fellow Steel-Types were going at it. He joined in on the clash with his blades meeting with Kartana's blade and Aegislash's blade via both his arms. Now, it was a triple clash. The three of them went at it, swinging with such skill and grace at the same time.

Bisharp ducked a swing from Aegislash's Sacred Sword before then blocking another Sacred Sword from Kartana. He moved back before then being pursued by Aegislash who moved forward. Kartana intervened by appearing in front of them with the speed of Aerial Ace. It had caught Aegislash by surprise, swiftly hitting him in the face.

"A-Aegis!" Aegislash was the first to feel any real damage as Kartana then went for Bisharp next.

"Guillotine!"

"Sharp!" Bisharp leapt forward, having a sure-fire one-hit-KO attack in his arsenal. When he approached with it, even Kartana knew how dangerous it was. The Grass-Steel-Type gasped before then flying to the side, evading Bisharp's Guillotine.

"Got you scared, huh?" Twilight smirked, knowing that even Kartana was susceptible to Guillotine's ability to take out an opponent in just one go. "Let's make sure these next hits are hard on the ears. Laser Focus!"

"Sharp...!" Bisharp's eye had flashed as he had powered his sight. Thanks to Laser Focus, he had a greater concentration than before to an intense level. Bisharp's strength had been boosted as well.

"Now! Night Slash on Aegislash!"

"Bisharp!" Bisharp took off, approaching Aegislash with a train of darkness on his arms. Aegislash looked up to see the Dark-Steel-Type leaping into the air, planning a downwards hit.

"I don't think so! King's Shield!"

"Aegis!" But that all failed once Aegislash had used King's Shield, blocking the devastating blow of Night Slash which had been boosted by Laser Focus. Bisharp growled as his attack had been cancelled out.

However, once Bisharp's attack was stopped, Kartana capitalized, using Sacred Sword. The Drawn Sword Pokemon appeared next to Bisharp in the blink of an eye before slashing his chest.

"B-Bisharp!" Bisharp took a tremendous amount of damage from that hit as he went flying.

"Bisharp, no!" Twilight as Bisharp rolled on the ground. Being a Dark-Steel-Type and taking a Fighting-Type attack was downright painful.

"Okay, Aegislash! Metal Sound!"

"Aegis!" Aegislash had used a non-attacking move instead of going in for the attack. He let out a horrible metallic screech that sounded like scraping metal. Kartana felt this horrible sound as it had him stuck in one place, staggering and twitching.

"Now, strike with Sacred Sword!"

"Slash!" It was all part of Shining Armor's plan. Now that Kartana was staggered, still feeling the horrible sound from Metal Sound rupture through his body, this allowed Aegislash to catch him while his guard was down. Aegislash had slashed Kartana with a full-force Sacred Sword, dealing super-effective damage.

Kartana was now the one that had been sent flying. So far, all three of them had taken some damage but BIsharp took the most. Speaking of Bisharp, he got on one knee, finally recovering. However, Aegislash's assault was not over.

"Sacred Sword on Bisharp next!"

"Aegislash!" Aegislash switched targets, going for the winded Bisharp.

"I don't think so! Jump back and use Night Slash from afar!"

"Bi...Bisharp!" Bisharp jumped back, using the alternate variant of Night Slash. He swung his arms in the air before sending out dark crescent waves. Aegislash started slashing these crescent waves while approaching the Sword Blade Pokemon. Kartana joined in, attacking Aegislash from the back with Leaf Blade.

Aegislash's movements had been interrupted once Kartana had used Leaf Blade. Once more, Kartana proved that he was the fastest Pokemon out of his fellow swordmasters. Aegislash almost fell over after that back attack as that allowed for the remaining blades from Night Slash to connect.

"A-Aegislash!" Aegislash had been hit by a few Night Slash blades, taking super-effective damage to boot. Afterwards, Kartana moved back to gain some momentum. He rushed in, also possessing Guillotine. However, he seemed to focus it on Aegislash.

"Why's he going for Aegislash? He's immune to Guillotine." Twilight thought before clicking on it. "Unless...he's coming for Bisharp!"

Her assumption was correct. Kartana had purposefully gone for Aegislash, only to phase right through him. Aegislash looked confused before seeing Kartana head for Bisharp.

"Guillotine!"

"Sharp!" Bishar would counter Guillotine with Guillotine. The two One-hit attacks had crashed into each other with great ferocity. A white light sparked out of them both with the two Steel-Types trying to push through each other. "Bisharp...!"

"Come on, Bisharp! Show Kartana that strength you used against Cosmos!"

"Bi...Sharp!" Bisharp yelled, putting his all into this Guillotine. By screaming and exerting more of his body limits, he managed to start pushing Kartana back. He thought about when Kartana sliced the block of Dynasite while also chipping him when they first met. He channelled all of his thoughts about Kartana and how he was superior to him into power. This was the Pokemon Bisharp wanted to surpass.

"Now's our chance! Sacred Sword!"

"Aegislash!" Aegislash decided to strike while they were both busy. He appeared in-between them with his blade held high.

"Just what I expected! Switch into Night Slash!"

"Bisharp!" Bisharp quickly switched into Night Slash by using his other arm. He quickly swung it at the Ghost-Steel-Type blocking the incoming Sacred Sword. Bisharp was now holding back two attacks with two arms and two different moves.

"Deedni sretsamdrows taerg dna stnenoppo yhtrow era uoy. devorpmi evah htob uoy." Kartana spoke to them both with Bisharp and Aegislash giving everything they had.

"S-Sharp...!"

"A-Aegis...!"

"Em taefed nac uoy erofeb og ot syaw emos evah uoy ,revewoh!" Just then, unexpectedly, Kartana managed to overpower them both. He had switched into Aerial Ace midway before then delivering a mighty push that had overpowered Sacred Sword and even the deadly Guillotine.

He overpowered them both, slashing his fellow Steel-Types. The two of them let out a short-burst gasp before then falling over. They didn't even go flying. They just fell down from Kartana's sheer strength. It was clear who was the superior force here as they had both fallen.

Bisharp and Aegislash had fainted.

"Bisharp..."

"Aegislash...."

"Bisharp and Aegislash are both done for! That means Kartana wins!" Applejack declared this match over as applause went through after this battle. Nearby ponies had spectated this battle, finding it enjoyable. King Paramount and some of his guards couldn't help but applaud this battle as well.

"Great work, Bisharp. You did well." Twilight went over to Bisharp, using her magic to raise him up.

"You too, Aegislash. You battled with style there." Shining Armor helped his partner up as well.

"Guess that's that. Kartana's always extra strong, huh," said Ash.

"Mhm." Fluttershy and the others nodded in agreement. The other Kartana applauded their fellow Drawn Sword Pokemon before flying over to him. Kartana had not only proven that he could cut through Dynasite with ease, but he also proved that he was the superior swordmaster over his fellow Steel-Types. But he did have to respect their strength.

"You're amazing, Kartana." Twilight praised Kartana. "To think that there's an entire space out there with Pokemon as skilled as you."

"Pretty scary too..." Shining Armor shuddered. "It's a good thing they're on our side."

"That was an awesome battle too!" Ash, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Sedalb fo retnuocne txen ruo ot drawrof kool I. Llew depoleved evah yeht taht nees evah I .dlrow siht ot kcab gnimoc ruonoh a saw ti."

"Kartana says that it was an honour coming back here. And he would love to clash with them again someday." Fluttershy translated for everyone.

"Did that thing just speak backwards...?" King Paramount just now discovered that Kartana's language sounded familiar to the ears.

"We look forward to it too, Kartana. I guess... you're heading back now, right?" Twilight replied.

"Nruter ew erofeb sedalb ruo tset llits tsum ew. on."

"It sounds like they're not done yet. They're still going to test out their blades before they head home. Maybe across Equestria or even the Pokemon World."

"Got it. Until then, Bisharp here will be better than ever. I mean now he stood a chance against you and there's not a single chipped piece on him." Twilight chuckled while Bisharp blushed in embarrassment.

"Sharp...BIsharp!" But right after that, Bishar vowed to be better than Kartana when they next meet. Whenever that may be.

"Aegis!" So did Aegislash. He wanted his victory over the Ultra Beast one day. No matter how long it would take. And he would use all of that time to grow stronger.

"Seirasrevda yhtrow dna ynop elttil ym, snamuh ,lleweraf." The Kartana all bid their farewell before flying off. Their quest to hone their skills was never-ending despite already being so skilled in the first place. Twilight and everyone waved goodbye with Bisharp proudly saluting such an amazing swordmaster.

"You know what would be cool...If we saw the Swords of Justice battle Kartana."

"Oooh...That would've been cool." Spike nodded in agreement. "And maybe that one wolf Pokemon with the other sword. Uh...what's it called again?"

"Oh, Zacian. We'd have to do some revival for that to happen." Rarity replied. "What about your Sirfetch'd, ASh?"

"I think the leek would've been cut off if Sirfetch'd battled them. Right, Ash?" Starlight asked.

"..." Ash stood there for a moment, taking in what Starlight had said. "Ah, man! I should've joined in the battle with Sirfetch'd! Gaah!"

"Nevermind." Starlight shook her head with Pikachu patting Ash on the back.

"Pikachu..."

Kartana was a massive wall to overcome. Such amazing sword skills but it was a back and forth battle either way. Bisharp and Aegislash had yet to overcome him, but one day, they vowed to do so.

"Seunitnoc yenruoj eht sa."
