The Movie starts with our story opening on a dark and creepy full moon lit night, the Mane 6 plus Spike are wondering around a creepy old graveyard, naturally Rainbow Dash is trying to take advantage of the situation my acting scary.

"Full Moon lit Night, Spooky Atmosphere, Creepy old Cemetery, this would be the perfect place to tell some Scary Stories" Rainbow Dash boasts and finishes with a creepy evil laugh "Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha".

"Knock it off Rainbow Dash" says AppleJack, "This ain't the time fer that".

"So, remind me again why we have to be in a creepy old graveyard in the middle of the night?" Fluttershy asks as she turns to Twilight.

"Because Princess Celestia sent us here to meet somepony making a special delivery of absolute importance" said Twilight to not just Fluttershy but the rest of the gang as well.

"Well I wish that they could have had the rendezvous point be somewhere a little less Terrifying" says Spike while he's latching himself onto Twilight's leg, trembling in fear.

"Oh I Agree" said Rarity to Spike, then while trying to shake some dirt off her hoof she complains "This place is just filthy and oh so drab, the groundskeeper really needs to do a better job around here".

Naturally Pinkie Pie tries to make light of the situation by trying something weird like make a puppet show out of nothing but some sticks, rocks, leaves, vines & moss, where she uses sticks as the bodies, rocks as heads with faces drawn on them using mud, leaves & moss as clothing, and vines as strings to control them like marionettes, and moss as a curtain, with some big rocks or broken tombstones as a stage, or some other weird Pinkie Pie thing like that, then at some point when Pinkie turns around facing behind herself, Rainbow Dash wearing a bug-bear face mask stands right up to Pinkie's Face and goes "BOO!" .

Scaring Pinkie so bad that she jumps up through a cloud in the sky leaving a hole in the shape of her body, and the camera is in the right position for the opportunity to have Pinkie break the 4th wall right in front of the camera, "Ooh, I can see the whole audience from up here" says Pinkie, "Too bad this movie isn't in 3-D, am I right?" she says as she falls back down leaving a new hole in the same cloud, only to have a soft landing thanks to a thick moss covering a dead bush.

Then Rainbow with the mask still on her face starts laughing hard at that, the others are all aggravated at R.D. right now, then as R.D. is enjoying the moment, a wisp of shadow-like smoke comes out of the ground right behind her, then it takes the form of a humanoid, demonic-looking creature with bat-like wings, small devil-like horns on it's head, a pig snout-like nose, a mouth full of fangs, clawed 4-fingered hands, pointy ears, glowing red eyes, rough dry skin as pitch-black as coal, and stands about the same size as the ponies are when they stand up on their hind-legs, sneaking towards Rainbow from behind her.

The others see the creature behind Rainbow & try to warn her, but they're so freaked out that they can't even form a single word, so they keep pointing to the monster behind Rainbow, Rainbow is confused saying "Come on girls, it wasn't that bad", a second later she asks "What's up with you guys?", then another second later she figures it out and points the tip of her hoof behind her while saying "There's something bad right behind me isn't there?", she turns around, then she freaks out while zipping away from the creature as it slashes it's claws and turns her bug-bear mask to shreds without even touching Rainbow, because she was so freaked out, that she moved so fast, that the mask just popped right off her face & temporarily floated in mid-air just long enough for the creature's claws to make contact with the mask.

Our heroes then try avoiding the creature's attacks as it chases after them acting like a feral beast, suddenly a strange glowing, spinning disk-like object comes flying towards the creature, then when it makes contact with the creature, the creature turns to smoke & evaporates into nothing, the disk-like object then passes through the evaporating smoke a second time, then it stops right beside the face of a mysterious figure, a male pony with a pale-colored coat of fur, a tall yet thin body figure like that of the Flim Flam Brothers or Cheese Sandwich, with a short haired tail & an almost completely bald hairdo similar to that of Curly Howard from the Three Stooges, wearing pieces of some kind of armor on certain parts of his body, plus some belts with pouches meant for carrying stuff, and some scabbards set in an X-shape on his back holding a pair of swords, and wears a set of reflective sunglasses that make it so we can't see his eyes, he also has a cutie mark depicting a coat of arms with a pair of swords, but the biggest thing about this strange pony is the fact that he has not just one, but Two Unicorn Horns on his forehead, both about the same length as Prince Blueblood's or Shining Armor's, and are lined up with one in front of the other, positioned at about a thirty-degree angle of separation from each other, once the disk-like object stops, we see that it's a 4-prong shuriken throwing star being held by levitation magic with a Platinum colored aura, the Mane 6 then gasp at the mysterious imposing stranger, then at a close up of the stranger's face, he then says "Run!" in a deep, serious toned voice that sounds like the one that Steve Blum used in his voice-over for Marvel Comics' Wolverine.

Then Fluttershy begins flying away while saying "You don't have to tell me twice!", but before she can escape two more of those exact same creatures appear above her, then she squeals in terror & heads back down.

Then several more creatures appear all around the ponies, the stranger leaps in and everyone forms a circle, looking at the swarm of creatures as they keep coming closer & closer, Applejack says "What the hey are these things?!".

"Ghosts?!" says Rarity.

"Zombies?!" says Spike.

"Dark Goblins!" says the stranger.

Then as the Goblins begin charging in we see Pinkie Pie saying "D-Duh-Do-Dee-Doh-D-" and she places her hooves on her cheeks in the style of Macaulay Culkin from the Home Alone movie and shouts "DARK GOBLINS!!!", then we cut to the opening title sequence.

During the opening sequence we see the My Little Pony logo & hear the theme song, but the song is being distorted as the logo begins cracking with some smokey-shadow like substance coming out of the cracks, then the logo is shattered as a deformed silhouette of what looks like a ram-like being is shown looking at the camera with glowing red eyes, then it raises it's hoofed fore-limbs & a huge shadow consumes the land with deformed versions of the Dark Goblins running loose around the area, then we see some staff credits of the cast & crew, then it all gets engulfed in shadow, then we see deformed versions of Ponies running away from the encroaching shadow consuming all in it's wake, as all this goes on we see more staff credits as it's all being consumed by shadow, we also see dark goblins wreaking havoc, one of them slashes it's claws at a pony, only to have it miss & we see some staff credits in the claw-marks, later as we see deforms of the Mane 6 completely surrounded by shadow & dark goblins, when all hope seems lost, a bright ray of light shines so bright that it repels the shadow & destroys those dark goblins, then the deformed Mane 6 look to the source of the light to see a deform of the two-horned pony/stranger from earlier, the stranger then fires a huge magic beam from his horns and blasts the shadow away revealing more staff credits, as a swarm of dark goblins form a tidal wave about to hit the stranger, he takes out one of his swords and slices the tidal wave right down the middle, causing it to dissolve into nothing, then the stranger levitates out a bunch of throwing stars, then the throwing stars mow right through the shadow like a lawn mower, revealing more of the staff credits, when more dark goblins dive bomb the stranger from above, the stranger levitates what looks like a chain, then spins it around to form a vacuum funnel that sucks the dark goblins in, then the stranger slams the funnel on the ground, destroying all of the dark goblins that were in the funnel, the imprint left on the ground reveals more staff credits, after clearing a bunch of the shadow & getting rid of a lot of the dark goblins, the stranger heads towards the ram silhouette, then the ram silhouette fires a dark magic beam, and then the stranger fires a magic beam of his own, when the two magic beams hit they create a huge flash transition, then we see the deforms of the stranger, the Mane 6 & the ram silhouette all right above the movie's title which states "My Little Pony: the Last Twonicorn".

So you're name is Claymore, haha you're named after a Sword

At the end of the opening title sequence we see a slash effect that returns us to right where we left off with Pinkie Pie, who then takes her hooves off her face and says "Wait, what's a Dark Goblin?".

"I don't think I wanna find out" replies Applejack.

The Stranger then starts blasting some Goblins with his horns and says "Get out of here now!".

The Mane 6 try to flee, but they're completely surrounded, "There's nowhere to run!" says Rarity.

Rainbow Dash then clops her hooves together and says "Then we'll just have to make a way!".

Then our heroes try to hit the Goblins, but they move too fast, and keep shifting from solid to shadow to solid again & again, "It's like trying to buck against the wind!" Applejack states with a bit of frustration in her tone.

Then suddenly one of the Goblins phases into Spike's body then possesses him, Spike then grows twice his size, becomes very dark shaded, has a black aura emanating from his body, gets longer claws, fangs & spines, and his eyes are glowing red, then Spike turns to his friends & starts acting like a wild, feral beast, Twilight says "Spike?! What happened to you?!".

The Stranger then says "He's being possessed!".

The Stranger then leaps into the air & then punches Spike with his hoof, knocking the real Spike out of the possessed Spike, then the Dark Goblin that was possessing him evaporates into nothing, the girls then gasp at what they saw, then Spike gets up, rubbing his nose and says "Ow! How did you do that?".

The Stranger then punches another Dark Goblin behind him, then holds up his other hoof pointing at Spike & says "Iron & Silver Laced Horseshoes".

"Iron & Silver?" asks Rarity.

The Stranger then pulls out a special chain from one of his pouches, then magically unhooks seven of the links, and places each link on the tails of the Mane 6 & Spike while saying "They're vulnerable to those two minerals, as long as you're wearing either one they can't possess you", He then levitates out his two swords, makes a serious pose & says "Now stand back!", we then see his hooves glow with his own platinum colored aura, then he charges in with both swords swooshing around too fast for the eyes to follow, galloping around at ninja speed, leaping around with superb agility, slashing Goblin after Goblin with an incredible display of acrobatics & magic handled swords-pony-ship, leaving nothing but a trail of evaporating smoke in his path, whittling down dozens of Goblins, as the Mane 6 plus Spike watch all of this, Twilight then makes a slightly angry face.

Then as the stranger slashes the last of the Goblins that were currently in his path, Twilight magically pulls the stranger by the tail towards her, then she says "Are you out of your mind?! You just sliced & diced those guys!", then another Dark Goblin starts coming towards Twilight from right behind her, but she doesn't notice because she's too busy lecturing the stranger by saying "You can't just go around turning living things into a tossed salad!", then the stranger takes his sword & plunges it towards Twilight, but Twilight dodges the sword just in time to have it stab the Goblin that was right behind her.

The stranger then pulls back his sword & lectures Twilight by saying "These are Shadow-Forged Avatars, Physical Manifestations of Pure Dark Magic, They were never ALIVE to Begin With", then he channels his own magic through his sword to light up the blade(like a Star Wars style Light Saber), then he swipes the sword to unleash a huge & powerful energy wave(based on the Sword Beam/Razor Wind trope) that devastates everything in it's path, and takes down even more Dark Goblins right behind himself without even moving a muscle or looking away from Twilight's face, Twilight managed to see that despite still having the stranger intimidatingly looking at her face, then he says to Twilight "And don't ever pull me by the tail again, got it?!".

"Yes" Twilight says in a frightened manner.

Then as the others gather around Twilight, the stranger says "More are coming", then as more Goblins rise up the stranger then says "Got to get them into a confined space", he then tells the others what they have to do, he splits them in teams of two to herd the goblins in a certain direction, so they can drive the Goblins into a small alley in the nearby town, he says to R.D. & Fluttershy "You two, keep them grounded, don't let any of them fly away", then says to A.J. & Spike "You two, herd them in from the Right", then says to Pinkie & Rarity "You two, herd them in from the Left", and says to Twilight "And you, stay close to me and don't do Anything unless I tell you", so while everyone else is busy herding the Goblins as instructed, Twilight is stuck watching the stranger's back as the Goblins follow them, then as Twi & the stranger come to the dead end of an alley, the stranger places a spell on the walls & ground to make it so that the Goblins can't just phase through anything, he then grabs Twilight at the waist with one of his fore-limbs, and high-jumps them both up onto the rooftops, then places an invisible barrier over the alley so the Goblins can't fly out.

Then as they get all the Goblins together, the Ponies barricade the exit to the alley, trapping the Goblins within the alley, then Twilight asks the stranger "So what now?".

"Now this!" the stranger replies, he then uses his powerful magic to very quickly raise the sun into the perfect position to destroy all of the Dark Goblins at one time(at least for now), then when the last of those Goblins evaporate, the stranger then sets the sun back down just as quickly as he raised it.

After which the Mane 6 & Spike gather around the stranger, and are all seriously surprised by what he just did, then Twilight asks "Did you just Raise & Set the SUN?!".

"Claymore" says the stranger.

"Huh?", says everyone else.

"My Name, it's Claymore" says the stranger as he finally reveals his name.

"Claymore? Like as in the Sword: Claymore?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"What tipped you off?" replies Claymore.

Then Pinkie starts blabbing on & on about ways that would have tipped them off that his name refers to a sword, then Claymore uses his magic to close Pinkie's mouth & says "I was being Rhetorical!".

"But, How could you control the Sun like that?" asks Twilight.

"Practice, this wasn't my first time" Claymore replies.

Then Twilight Groans in exasperation & says "That's not what I meant, What makes You Capable of such a feat?!".

Rarity then butts in asking "Um, Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but could it possibly have something to do with the fact that you are a Unicorn with TWO HORNS?!".

Claymore then shows his teeth in frustration, gets in Rarity & Twilight's faces and says "It's Twonicorn!".

"eh, TWO-NICORN? Because of your 2 horns?" Applejack asks.

"Do you always state the obvious?" says Claymore.

Fluttershy then butts in and says "oh um, sorry to interrupt, but, why exactly did those things attack us?"

Claymore then opens up one of his pouches and levitates out a small round bell that's black and emanating a black aura, and shows it to the others while saying "They were after this".

"A Bell?!" Rainbow says in an annoyed & disappointed manner, "We went through all of that, just 'cause of A BELL?!".

"Not just a bell" Claymore says as he starts explaining "A Dark Soul Bell, one of a set of 13 that if all brought together will bring forth, Armageddon".

"Uh, You're-A-Gettin' what?" Pinkie asks.

Spike then says "No Pinkie, Armageddon, it means the end of the world".

"I wouldn't need to explain that to you if you were the Elite Guards I told Celestia to send" says Claymore.

"Oh, so then that's the delivery she sent us to retrieve?" asks Twilight.

"Retrieve?!" says Claymore in an angry tone, "I specifically told Celestia this was an escort job!", then he puts the bell back into his pouch while saying "This bell doesn't leave me until I'm looking her right in the eyes".

"Wait, seriously what's going on here?" asks Twilight.

"Tambelon is returning" says Claymore, "And with it, The Necromancer".

The others look confused & Rainbow says "Neck-what?".

Then the scene transfers over to Canterlot early the next morning when the sun has barely even risen, where we hear Celestia angrily saying "How many times have I told you not to take control of the sun without my permission?!".

Then we see Claymore saying "When You're up against a Swarm of Dark Goblins you don't have Time for asking Permission!".

"You know I have obligated responsibilities that I can not take lightly" says Celestia .

"You should have thought of that before you sent a bunch of kids to meet me" says Claymore.

"Hey we're not kids" Rainbow butts in to say, "We've saved the world several times".

"And a couple of other worlds as well" Pinkie adds in.

Celestia then continues her argument with Claymore as she says "You were supposed to give the package to them at the rendezvous point".

"Tambelon is returning Celestia and you need to be ready" says Claymore.

"I'm well aware of what the events that are transpiring here" says Celestia.

Then Claymore gets right up in her face and says "Well then you need to start Acting like you are and get Serious!".

Celestia then pulls away from Claymore, clears her throat and calmly says "Do you have the bell?".

Claymore then magically pulls out the bell & hands it over to Celestia, Celestia then locks the bell in a special safe while saying "The bell will be secure within this Magic Dampening Safe(which dampens the powers of magical objects from the inside only)", then suddenly the safe is magically ripped out of the wall, and Celestia shouts "HEY!", then we see Claymore levitating the safe, then he shrinks it down to the size of a Grapefruit.

Then stores it into one of his pouches, and says "Your Safe will be safer with Me".

But as he starts walking out the door, the royal guards stop Claymore for his actions telling him "Halt You!"(they aren't planning to let Claymore get away with this, but clearly these guards are new, because they haven't got a clue as to just who this guy even is).

Claymore then says to Celestia without even looking at her "You Know you can't stop me, so Don't even Try to hold me back".

Celestia then takes a deep breath in frustration, exhales her breath through her nostrils and says "Royal Guard, Stand Down".

One of the guards then says "Huh, but your Majesty".

"STAND, DOWN!" Celestia interrupts and says in a very serious tone.

Then the Royal Guard step aside and let Claymore go, and he just walks out saying "That's better".

The Mane 6 and Spike then gather around Celestia and Rainbow Dash says "Augh! I can't believe that guy!".

Both she and Twilight get all riled up with Rainbow wanting to knock some sense into Claymore, while Twilight wants to force him to apologize to Celestia, but Celestia stops them both with her magic and says "No, let it go, both of you, it's not worth it".

"Are you Kidding Me?! shouts Rainbow.

"How could you just let him talk to you so disrespectfully like that and just let him get away with it?" says Twilight.

Celestia then says "1. He's more powerful than me, 2. It's not his fault he's like this, and 3rd. He's our only hope of stopping the threat of Tambelon".

"What's Tambelon anyways?" Applejack asks.

"Tambelon is an ancient, disappearing, cursed city that returns every few centuries" says Celestia, "And when it returns, it also brings back the necromancer that was imprisoned within it".

"ooh ohh, What's a Ne-cro-man-cer?" Pinkie asks while holding up her hoof like a student wanting to ask a question.

Celestia then says "A necromancer is a being that wields powerful dark magic to summon & control Supernatural or Paranormal creatures to do their bidding, such as ghosts, zombies, vampires or werewolves, some are even capable of summoning other worldly demons, and of all the necromancers ever to exist, none have been more powerful or threatening, then the one known as, Grogar!", just the sound of his name makes Fluttershy gulp in fear.

Celestia then continues "Those Dark Goblins you faced were but a few of Grogar's Minions, and there's bound to be a lot more of them later on, Only the Twonicorns have ever been able to defeat Grogar & his Dark Goblin hordes, so Claymore has a Very important role to play in all of this".

"Forgive me for sounding ignorant Celestia" says Twilight, "But I've never even heard of a Two-nicorn until now".

"I'm not surprised" says Celestia "Because the Twonicorns are extinct".

"Extinct?" asks Rarity "You mean they're-".

"Gone" Celestia butts in and says, "All gone, Claymore is the only one left, the very last of his kind".

Applejack then asks "But then, what happened to all the other Twonicorns?".

Celestia then takes out a large stone tablet with a big octagon shaped gem stone in the center that has a shard missing from it, sets it on a nearby table and says "This ancient tablet contains nearly all of the known history of the Twonicorn Tribe", she then waves her hoof across it, then the gem starts to glow and it then displays a holographic presentation of the story Celestia is about to reveal.

As the presentation plays forth, Celestia narrates/explains what's going on, we then hear Celestia saying the following ->

As you know our would is full of magical equines, such as, Earth Ponies: who have a Magically Ingrained Connection to the very Earth we walk upon & depend on for survival, Pegasi: who can fly, walk on clouds & manage the weather, Unicorns: who can control mystical forces & cast spells, Alicorns: who wield the combined magic of all three tribes put together, even Zebras possess a unique magic of their very own, but the one species of equine that doesn't possess any magic what so ever, is the Donkey, and over 5000 years ago, this well-known fact aggravated one particular Donkey known only as Bray.

Bray despised all ponies for having magic while he had none, and he despised himself even more for being a Donkey, because he had no magic of his own, to rectify this, Bray decided to read & study as much about magic as he possibly could, eventually his studies lead to a discovery that could grant him more magical might than he could ever imagine, Bray then gathered the necessary objects, as well as a set of 13 small round brass bells, then he performed a special ritual, that allowed him to pierce through dimensional barriers, enabling him to reach out to a world known as The Dark Dimension.

A universe composed entirely out of Dark Magic, ravaged into an endless void by it's own inhabitants, the Dark Goblins, a race of mindless, feral, para-natural monsters made completely out of dark magic, who tore their own world apart piece by piece, Bray was able to tap into the primal forces that make up the Dark Dimension, then transferred it's power into the 13 brass bells, turning them into a set of 13 Dark Soul Bells, brimming with unspeakably powerful dark magic, upon placing all 13 Dark Soul Bells on a collar & wearing it around his neck, Bray was granted incredible Dark Magical Powers, but it all came at a tragic cost.

His body was forever transformed from that of a regular old Donkey, to that of a large Big-Horned Ram that could no longer age, and his mind was warped to focus only on his deepest, darkest, most evil thoughts & magnify them exponentially, not only could he wield all that dark magic, but he also gained complete control over all of the Dark Goblins from the Dark Dimension, making it as though they were mere extensions of his own will, and was able to summon them into our world through various worm-hole-like portals that he could create himself, it was on that day that Bray the Donkey was no more, all that was left in his place was Grogar, the Ultimate Necromancer.

Soon Grogar began using his Dark powers to ravage entire cities, sending out Dark Goblins to attack innocent by-standards, what made the Dark Goblins so dangerous wasn't just their raw, barbaric, savagery, but also the fact that they could possess any living creature or inanimate object, transforming them into horrible monsters completely under Grogar's control.

Fortunately since the Dark Goblins were beings of dark magic, they could not survive in direct sunlight, so Grogar could only strike at night, or would have to form dark clouds to block out the sun so his goblins could survive, but soon Grogar got fed up with only being able to thrive at night, or having to keep blocking out the sun, to resolve this problem, Grogar decided to utilize the full extent of all 13 of his Dark Soul Bells, to forge a massive portal capable of pulling our entire planet into the Dark Dimension, so that the sun would never shine on the Earth ever again, and all of the dark goblins in existence could roam the Earth all the time with no limitations, everything in our world would fall under Grogar's complete control forever, only one force was able to stop him, the one species of equine whose magic greatly surpassed even that of Alicorns, The Twonicorns.

Celestia Narrations II - It all started with the discovery of the Second Horn

View Online

The legend of the Twonicorns began many millennia ago, back when wielding magic was still relatively new to Pony-kind, with a single unicorn stallion known as Satyam Tatha Indriya(roughly translated it means "Truth And Control"), like other Unicorns Satyam could use Magic, but he wondered What exactly Magic was, what Magic was supposed to be, and why Unicorns could use Magic, Satyam then began a long, perilous journey to figure out the truth about Magic Itself, to understand why Magic exists, he had been through many great hardships, and accomplished many wondrous feats along the way, but his thirst for knowledge seemed unquenchable, so he continued his journey to try and learn the secrets of Magic Itself.

Until one day he climbed to the very top of the mountain known as Kangchenjuneigh, by that time his long journey had taken so much out of him, that it seemed like he would never even make it back down that mountain, just then appearing before Satyam was the three-eyed deity known as Shiva, Satyam's determination, perseverance and willful sacrifices had greatly impressed Shiva, so Shiva had decided to generously bestow upon Satyam the gift of Magical Nirvana, from that point on Satyam had gained heightened enlightenment to the point where he had a perfect understanding of everything about Magic, he had learned how to perform incredible feats of powerful magic, as well as everyone known form of Magic that was both known & unknown at the time, and had even gained a link to the Hidden Magics.

A Cosmic Force that lives within everything in existence, a Primordial Form of Magic with virtually limitless power, and goes beyond all other comprehensions of what Magic truly is, under normal circumstances the Hidden Magics can not be seen, felt, nor sensed, only through a truly enlightened mind could this form of Magic even be noticed, and with Satyam's awareness of the Hidden Magics, he could sense it, feel it, control it, gain power from it, he could even sense any shifts within the Mystic Continuum, and could sense many other things that no other pony could, and as evidence of his newfound enlightenment, Satyam ended up growing an additional Unicorn Horn upon his forehead, with this Second Horn, Satyam had become the World's first Twonicorn.

Before leaving, Shiva had told Satyam to share his newfound enlightenment with the rest of the world, and from that moment on Satyam became the acolyte of Shiva, with his new wisdom & powers, Satyam traveled around the world, bringing the offering of great enlightenment to all others, he even developed a new method he dubbed "Path to the Second Horn", a way to awaken the Ultimate Magical Potential that exists within all Ponies, through intensive meditation techniques, and hardcore discipline of the Mind, Body & Spirit, and surely enough many ponies of all kinds had followed Satyam to find enlightenment, and proved that they were worthy of unlocking their Second Horn, soon enough so many Ponies had earned their Second Horns, that the Twonicorn soon became a whole species of Pony itself, and when the Twonicorns had babies of their own, their children were somehow already born with their Second Horns unlocked, how exactly this was possible, no-pony truly knows, but with so many Twonicorns being able to just have babies born with the Second Horn, the newer generations of Twonicorns began caring less & less about bringing in followers to find enlightenment, and eventually the "Path to the Second Horn" was lost to time.

But when other beings from around our world, and from many other worlds outside of ours as well, learned of Ponies becoming able to wield Magic, they wanted to use our magic for their own selfish ways, many beings even saw Ponies as a threat to their wicked ways and wanted to destroy us, many of these beings proved to be too strong or too powerful for other Ponies to handle, even the Alicorns had trouble facing these threatening beings, but the Twonicorns had magic powerful enough to handle these threats with few problems, and because of their heightened awareness, which many have nicknamed "Twonicorn Sense", the Twonicorns could easily sense these dangerous threats, and be able to warp straight to the source of said threats.

To make it so that they didn't have to rely solely on their Most Powerful Magics, the Twonicorns learned self defense through training in the martial arts, and constructed a special Magical Forge that could melt any material, and use it to smith armors, weapons, and various valuable crafts, since the forge was magic, it's fire could only be lit through magic, it would only take a tiny amount of Twonicorn magic to ignite it's flame, but it would take a moderate amount of Alicorn magic to lit it, and an enormous amount of Unicorn Magic to lit it, the Twonicorns used weapons & armor made using this forge to help them better combat many of the beings & forces that threatened our world, the Twonicorns could sense that many of these threats involved Supernatural & Paranormal creatures/forces, which they could sense had 3 common weaknesses, Sunlight and the 2 minerals Iron & Silver, so the Twonicorns would smith iron, silver and other various materials into many of their armors & weapons.

At one point a few Moderate Level Alicorns tried to stop a powerful demon that wanted to destroy Pony-kind and failed miserably, until a nearby High Level Twonicorn Stallion named Udaar Abhineta(meaning Generous Performer) came along and used his powerful magic to obliterate the demon with just one massively powerful blow, but when many ponies saw how Udaar defeated the demon so easily, where as the Alicorns had failed terribly, they began to question the fallen Alicorns' worth, so instead of just taking all the credit for that victory, Udaar tricked the Ponies into believing that the Alicorns gave him most of their Magic a while earlier, and Udaar then performed a special light show to disguise a simple Healing Spell, but acted as if he was returning the Alicorns full power to them, which in turn made the Ponies have a greater respect for the Alicorns, but at the cost of making himself look like a fraud, and ruining the possible reputation that the Twonicorns could've had long ago.

From that moment on, due to Udaar's generous trickery, the Alicorns had gained a great respect for all Twonicorns, but because of the Twonicorns' massively powerful magic, they believed that it would be for the best if the Twonicorns were the one's that handled impossibly difficult challenges that no one else could handle, and since Alicorns were the combination of Earth Ponies, Pegusi & Unicorns, it was decided that they were perfect for leading the other Ponies through the hard times, and making sure the innocents were safe, so that the Twonicorns wouldn't need to worry about harming them with their powerful magics(In other words the Alicorns basically became Crowd Control while the Twonicorns did the death-defying work), and any known accomplishment that the Twonicorns achieved, the Alicorns would get the credit for it, so that the Ponies would have enough respect for the Alicorns to follow their lead, truth be told the Alicorns actually owe most of what they have to the actions of the Twonicorns.

One such event was when a Twonicorn Mare named Aasha Ankurit(meaning Hope Sprouts) had spent many decades developing a special purification spell, made specifically to purify the Cursed Necklace of Harmonia, once the necklace was cleansed of all evil forces, all that was left of it was a single gem stone filled with extremely concentrated pure Good Magic, Aasha then planted that gem stone in the ground within a cave, and after words that gem eventually grew into the Tree of Harmony, and produced the Elements of Harmony, which we all know have saved Equestria several times in the past.

So from then on the Twonicorns took on the responsibility of protecting our world from impossible threats they knew no one else could handle, but because the Twonicorns were always handling such dangerous forces & had such unimaginably powerful magic, they were often being targeted and hunted down by monsters, villains, demons & evil entities of all kinds, so the Twonicorns decided for the betterment of all the innocent bystanders, they had to isolate themselves far from civilization, to not only live in peace & serenity, but also to keep others safe from Evils beyond their control, and from getting in their line of fire, taking nearly all evidence of their very existence along with them, ultimately the Twonicorns became a fairly secret race of magic equines, very few even realized they were still around, those who did know of their existence would simply describe the Twonicorns as Powerful Equines that could use Strength without Muscle(meaning that they could use Magic to perform incredible physical feats), achieve Flight without Wings(meaning they could use Magic to defy Gravity), and wield Magic Beyond Magic(simply meaning feats of powerful Magics that ordinary people/ponies couldn't even imagine was possible), for a while the Twonicorns all lived & trained together in tranquil solitude.

Until the day Grogar became an apocalyptic level threat that the Twonicorns just couldn't ignore, for the future of the Earth itself, they had to leap into action, and take on Grogar & his endless army of dark goblins, the Twonicorns fought long, hard, and valiantly, soon enough they managed to deliver a tactical blow to Grogar that made him lose 8 of his 13 Dark Soul Bells, the Twonicorns then confiscated those 8 Dark Soul Bells, with his power greatly diminished, Grogar had no other choice but to flee into the abandoned city of Tambelon, once there Grogar got to the center of the city, where he made a last stand & used the power he still had to continuously summon army after army of Dark Goblins, the Twonicorns knew they couldn't get Grogar out of the city, so they decided to leave him there, but under their terms, the Twonicorns then took the city's ceremonial giant bell, and while most of the Twonicorns kept the Dark Goblins at bay, some of the higher level ones tapped into Hidden Magics, and used their Powerful Magic to transform the ceremonial bell into a LIGHT Soul Bell, that would counteract Grogar's dark magic, the Twonicorn's then all worked together to place a curse on the city of Tambelon, upon ringing the Light Soul Bell, the entire city was exiled from our world and sent into the Dark Dimension taking Grogar along with it, thus putting an end to the threat of Grogar for now.

After which the Twonicorns vanished back into the shadows as mysteriously as they came, they soon enough disappeared into legends & myths, even Starswirl the Bearded knew very little about the Twonicorns, despite having spent most of his life trying to recover the "Path to the Second Horn" from the ravages of time with no success, the Twonicorns then took the 8 Dark Soul Bells they confiscated from Grogar & scattered them across the globe, hiding them in various places that they thought would be safe, though over the centuries other beings had found some of the Dark Soul Bells & used their dark power to fulfill their own dark desires, but our world had not seen the last of Grogar, it turns out that the curse that the Twonicorns had placed on Tambelon was only strong enough to last for only 500 years, and when Tambelon returned, so did Grogar, he then began sending out Dark Goblins to wreak havoc across the lands, so the Twonicorns were called back into action, they held off the Dark Goblins long enough for someone to ring the Light Soul Bell again, to renew the curse they had first put on Tambelon, thus sending the city and Grogar back into the Dark Dimension, from then on out, once every 500 years Tambelon would return to our world bringing Grogar back along with it, then the Twonicorns would return to fend off against his Dark Goblin hordes, then ring the Light Soul Bell again to renew the curse, and send Grogar and the city of Tambelon back into the Dark Dimension for another 500 years.

But the wily Grogar would not take this lying down, and came up with a devious plan, when Tambelon returned about 1000 years ago, Grogar sent a multitude of his Dark Goblins underground, spreading them across the globe, the Dark Goblins traveled to various areas that were already filled with a sublime amount of dark energies, the Goblins then went into a hibernative state that reduced the presence of their dark magic, making them too faint to be detected amongst the dark energies that already surrounded them, making them act as Grogar's sleeper agents, and when Tambelon was sent back to the Dark Dimension, Grogar's Dark Goblin sleeper agents remained in our world awaiting the next time Tambelon would return, and right before Tambelon returned 500 years ago, the Dark Goblins awoken to perform a surprise attack, then they stole the Light Soul Bell and brought it into Tambelon to be guarded by Grogar's forces.

Without the Light Soul Bell the Twonicorns couldn't send Tambelon back to the Dark Dimension, this left Grogar ample opportunity to spread more of his Dark Goblins out across the lands, during that time the Goblins were able to recover 6 of Grogar's 8 missing Dark Soul Bells and bring them back to him, with each of his Dark Soul Bells returned to him Grogar kept regaining more & more of his lost power, the Twonicorns knew that they could not allow Grogar to be restored to his full power, so they did the only thing they could do, every last Twonicorn in the world young & old gathered together, they all then went into Tambelon to battle against Grogar's forces, until one of them managed to reach the Light Soul Bell, they then committed the ultimate sacrifice, upon ringing the Light Soul Bell, Grogar and the city of Tambelon was sent back into the Dark Dimension, taking all of the Twonicorns along for the ride.

The Twonicorns could not have survived in the hostile world of the Dark Dimension for very long, so it was presumed that the Twonicorns became extinct, but before they even left for Tambelon, they did not leave our world completely defenseless against impossible threats that would rise in their absence, they left nearly all of their vast knowledge of powerful magic, this very tablet containing information about most of their history, and their magic forge so that other ponies could smith weapons & armor for their own protection, but since it takes very powerful magic to ignite the forge's flames, only I had sufficient enough magic to lite it at the time, so for centuries I've had the forge stored in the basement of Canterlot Castle, since that time all other ponies of all types had to defend their world against powerful threats, and Alicorns had to step up their game against many of such threats, and there have been both many victories & casualties along the way, but there was still the matter of what to do when Tambelon would return the next time, without the Twonicorns, all hope seemed lost.

Celestia Narrations III - Traumatic Training

View Online

Until about 200 years ago, when an arctic exploration team came across a miraculous discovery, a frozen young twonicorn colt(who had a pale-colored coat, the body figure of a 4 to 5 year old foal, had two different colored eyes, one sky blue & one neon green, and didn't even have his cutie mark yet), perfectly preserved deep in the arctic ice for who knows how long, the twonicorn colt was then brought back to the mainland, where he was thawed out, then a reanimation spell was used to awaken him, for whatever reason that he was frozen alive for an unknown amount of time, the twonicorn colt lost all of his memories, he could not remember where he came from, who is family was, or how he got frozen in the first place, he couldn't even recall his own name, all he could remember was that he was a Twonicorn, unfortunately it seemed that he was the Last Twonicorn.

The twonicorn colt was later brought before the Cosmic Council(as mentioned in the MLP storybook Under the Sparkling Sea, which I assume is similar to the United Nations in the real world), myself included, to decide what should be done about him, since he was perhaps the only twonicorn left in the world, we all knew that as long as at least 1 of them was still around, there would still be hope of defeating Grogar the next time Tambelon would return, unfortunately seeing as how impossible threats were already at an all time high, matters had to be taken immediately if not sooner, it was decided by the Council that the young twonicorn had to become combat ready as soon as possible, the Council decided that to help speed up the process, his teachers would have to give private sessions with him, he was to be forbidden from all forms of childish distractions, to be isolated from normal society, never allowed to interact with every-day ordinary civilians, cut off from all attachments of friendship, love or emotions, to focus solely on becoming a strong force against evil, naturally I was against that decision, but my objection was majority overruled.

Since then the twonicorn colt was sent all over the world, being forced to train in every known form of the mystic arts, the martial arts, and weapons handling, being trained by the greatest masters in the world including myself, and since he was a twonicorn he could not only perform all of these forms of magic exceptionally well, but could take them to levels we didn't even know were possible, presumably because we still knew very little of what Twonicorn Magic was truly capable of, once he even showed me that he learned how to control the Sun & the Moon from just watching me do it, though he was able to control them even faster & better than I ever could by myself, he was even able to perform various tricks with them, naturally I got on him about that, telling him not to do things like that because I had to maintain order within my responsibilities, but I did admit that I was seriously impressed that someone so young could have such power, making me realize that there was a lot more to a twonicorn's true potential than I could ever even imagine.

All day everyday, the young twonicorn did nothing but eat, train, sleep, train, bathe, and train some more, often times he was disciplined for not taking his training seriously, or getting distracted for childish things, it was a lot of pressure to put on one so young, but being the last of the Twonicorns brought him a lot of burdens & responsibilities that he never even asked for, but given the circumstances he had no other choice, though I did try my best to become the closest thing he would've had to a friend, but I was only allowed to go so far based on the Council's decision, that little colt went through a lot of Psychologically Traumatic events that no foal should ever have to experience.

During his weapons training he proved to be very adapt to sword wielding, when he later received his cutie mark, it was a Coat of Arms made of a set of swords, after that happened I suggested to the Council that we start addressing the twonicorn colt as "Claymore" because of his connections to swords, the Council agreed and from then on the colt was named Claymore, all of his training & psychological traumas lead to him developing certain emotional instabilities, such as excessive rage, unnecessary hostility, and severe A-social traits, but conclusively most of the Council thought that it was all worth it, for he had also became a hard-boiled, fearless, tough as nails combatant, ready to take down anything that got in his way, ultimately Claymore had become the very thing I wished to have prevented him from ending up as, A Living Weapon.

When he reached his later teens, we used the Twonicorn's magic forge to smith a special set of weapons & gear made specifically for him, which included a pair of double-edged swords, a set of 3 dozen Hira-shuriken throwing stars, a special chain that can only be unlinked through powerful enough magic, and his own set of horseshoes & body armor, all made using a perfect mixture of iron, silver & dragon's tooth(because dragons can chew diamonds, it's safe to assume that dragon teeth are the hardest known substance in the pony world) to not only guarantee that they would be able to dispel Supernatural/Paranormal forces, but so they would also be unbreakable,(now the swords themselves look like a pair of Double-Edged Chinese Jian/Japanese Tsurugi/Korean Geom Straight Swords, other than being indestructible & deadly to Supernatural/Paranormal creatures, they're not all that special, but in Claymore's possession he can channel his Twonicorn Magic through them to light them up like Star Wars style light-sabers with just as powerful slashes, and can swipe them to unleash destructively powerful energy waves similar to Kirby/Meta Knight's sword-beams from the Kirby video game franchise, or Optimus Prime's Star-Saber/Megatron's Dark Star-Saber from Transformers Prime, so don't underestimate this Steed's swords).

Since then Claymore became one of our world's greatest warriors, and because he's the last of the Twonicorns, he's often been called "The Most Powerful Equine in the World", who traveled all across the globe protecting us from evil forces that threatened to concur or destroy us all, many of the world leaders, myself included, gave him special legal immunities to help make his missions less complicated, and would often establish cover-ups with his involvement in whatever situation for his own protection, he was even taught how to use the Age spell, to keep himself young & vital so that no matter how old he got, he would always remain at the top of his game, which he will need to be at for when Tambelon makes it's return, so he will be able to face-off against Grogar.

Then the holo-display ends and the tablet deactivates, thus concluding the Narrations by Celestia.

So under that rough exterior beats a true heart after all huh?

"So now you know the truth about Claymore, and what is really at stake here" Celestia says to our heroes.

Everyone remains quiet for about 2-3 seconds until Spike says "Wow, No wonder why that Claymore guy is such a jerk".

"Ohh, poor Claymore" says Fluttershy, "Can you imagine having to go through All of That as a mere foal? It must have been just horrible for him".

"Yeah, I don't blame the guy" says Pinkie, "I'd be a Meany-Mc-Grumpy-Pants myself if I never even got the chance to just be a kid, have fun & make some friends".

"Indeed" Celestia adds, "Claymore has never had any friends growing up, and I doubt he'll ever Want to have any friends at all, he may act like he doesn't care about anyone at all, but the truth is, he cares far more about others than he cares about himself, that's why he's always putting his own life at risk, so that we all may be safe from unspeakable threats, I just wish he could be more open to others & be willing to accept their friendships".

Then Twilight makes a look in her face like she has something on her mind, but doesn't want to talk about it right now.

"So if this Tambelon place is returning, when's it supposed to get here exactly?" asks Applejack.

"Tonight at Dusk" replies Celestia.

Everyone else gasps in horror.

"Exactly" says Celestia, "That is why we must locate the other Dark Soul Bell before the Dark Goblins find it, so we can keep Grogar from obtaining it, and prevent him from regaining his full power".

Everyone then realizes the seriousness of the situation and then Twilight asks "Where's Claymore now?".

Celestia then shows them, she takes them to a balcony and points to the highest roof at the highest point in all of the castle, where we see Claymore lying on all four of his knees, and is in a zen like state of meditation, and he's sending out these transparent waves from his horns, Rarity asks "What ever is he doing all the way up there?!".

"Since Claymore has already identified the form of magic from the Dark Soul Bell recently recovered, he is most likely using his Twonicorn Sense to try and find the only other one left" says Celestia.

"So why is he doin' it way up there?" asks Applejack.

"The bell is most likely well hidden, and giving off only a very faint magical presence, so the higher the elevation, the less interference from other forms of magic he can detect" says Celestia.

"But can he really pull of something like that?" asks Twilight.

"If anypony can, it's him, hopefully he'll find it soon, for time is of the essence" replies Celestia.

Then Claymore heavily exhales through his nose, then he gets up, then leaps around the rooftops ninja style, then lands on the balcony with Celestia & the others, he then says "I found the final Dark Soul Bell, it's in the place now known as, The Crystal Empire".

Everyone then let's out a "Huh?".

"What would the Dark Soul Bell be doing in the Crystal Empire?" asks Spike.

Celestia replies "You have to remember, the Twonicorns scattered the Dark Soul Bells across the globe millennia ago, most likely the Empire was build right on top of the Bell's location without anypony even knowing about it".

"If they didn't before, they're about to find out once I get there" says Claymore.

"Well the next train heading to the Crystal Empire is leaving in a few minutes" says Celestia, "If you hurry you can just make it on time".

Then Claymore doesn't say a word, he just makes his hooves glow with magic, then leaps off the balcony and keeps leaping on & off and running on rooftops, until he reaches the train & lands on top of it, riding on the roof of the train so he can skip getting a ticket, then we see the others having seen that through the balcony telescope, then Rainbow says in a surprised manner "So, Awesome!".

Twilight then says "Don't worry Princess Celestia, we won't let you down".

"No Twilight" says Celestia, "This is no longer your concern, if I had known that the Dark Goblins had already returned I never would have gotten you and your friends involved, this is something you must let Claymore handle alone".

Everyone then shouts "WHAT?!".

"Uh, no offense Princess but Come On", says Rainbow "You're talkin' to the team that down Lord Tirek of all beings here".

"I'm well aware of that" says Celestia, "But you were not my first choice to stop him, the truth is, that once I learned that Tirek began making trouble, the first one I would have turned to for help was Claymore, unfortunately at that time he was busy in the Hippogriff Nation trying to prevent the Evil other worldly entity Gla'aki, from reawakening and turning every one in this world into his undead zombie slaves, long story don't ask(namely someone in the Hippogriff Nation tried to use the grimoire known as the Necronomicon, to try and summon forth Gla'aki from his slumber, and Claymore had to take care of that before Gla'aki awoke & started using his venom to turn everyone in their world into his undead zombie followers, so he was too busy to handle Tirek, because let's face it, trying to stop a being that can start a Zombie Apocalypse sounds way more important than stopping a Demon that simply Eats Magic, but I'm getting off topic here), so for the next best thing, I had to go with Discord, but when that didn't work out, I had no other choice but to get you involved Twilight".

"Wait, so, I was your THIRD choice to handle Tirek?" Twilight says with a shocked expression in her tone.

"I'm sorry Twilight" says Celestia, "But Claymore is the best choice for this, it's what he was trained for in the first place, now if you'll excuse me, I must prepare for Grogar's imminent return", then Celestia walks out the door.

Twilight then tells the others "Come on everypony, follow me".

Then they all run out of the castle as fast as they can, as they're running Rarity asks "Where ever are we going in such a rush Twilight?".

"We're going to follow Claymore" says Twilight.

"Huh? But didn't Princess Celestia just tell us to not get involved in this?" asks Pinkie.

"I know what she said" replies Twilight "But this is one time I Have to get involved".

"Uh Twilight, I think that Claymore is more than capable of handling this all by himself" says Fluttershy.

"Look, I'd hate to admit this, but Claymore & I are actually a lot alike" replies Twilight.

"What in tarnation are you talkin' about Twi?!" asks Applejack.

Twilight explains "Back when I was just a filly growing up as Celestia's prized student, I became so obsessed with learning about magic, that I refused to be social with others, I wasn't in the least bit interested in making friends, heck back when I first came to Ponyville I was much more interested in researching about The Elements of Harmony, and I didn't think making friends was all that important, but that all changed when I realized that Friendship was the most important form of magic there is, it's basically the reason I became a princess in the first place, but the big difference between me & Claymore, is that back then I chose to be A-social just so I had more time to learn & study, but Claymore was never given that choice, he was forced to become A-social against his will, just because there was no one else who could take on all of the responsibilities of the Twonicorns".

Everyone just looks at Twilight wondering if she's trying to make a point, Twilight then says "Look, no one should have to go through the things Claymore went through, no matter what the circumstance, everypony deserves the chance to make friends, and I vow by my title as the *Princess of Friendship*, that's exactly what I'll give him".

"And just how are you going to do that exactly?" asks Rainbow Dash.

Twilight then answers "By making Claymore except ME as his friend(Twilight is convinced that if she can get someone as A-social & bad-ass as Claymore to embrace the Magic of Friendship and except her as a friend, it would be one of her greatest accomplishments since earning her Princessly title yet, like it would be a true test of her Friendship-Problem-Solving abilities, so she pretty much has her work cut out for her, but hey if Twilight could convince Starlight Glimmer to go from foe to friend, then she can do this).

"I don't know Twilight" says Spike, "Don't you think you're aiming a little high here?".

"Of course not Spike" answers Twilight, "If I've learned anything, it's that nothing is impossible when you have the Magic of Friendship on your side, and right now Claymore needs that magic more than anypony else".

"Well if you're planning to accomplish that, then we'd better get on that train immediately" says Rarity.

Wait, You're going to What?!

Then the Mane 6 & Spike board the train just before it's about to leave, later on board the train we see Claymore is riding on the roof of the train, lying down in the same zen-like pose he had back on the roof of the castle, then Twilight opens a roof hatch & comes out looking for Claymore, and the others aren't too far behind, then Twilight struggles against the wind from the speeding train, trying to get close to Claymore so she can talk to him, Twilight then shouts out "Claymore" once, then she struggles to get closer & shouts out "Claymore" again.

"What do you want?!" Claymore responds with a bit of frustration in his tone.

"Listen" says Twilight, "I heard about what it was like for you growing up, and I just want to say I'm sorry we got off on the wrong hoof earlier, so I was hoping maybe we could try starting over & become friends?".

Claymore simply replies "No".

"Come on Claymore, Everypony should have friends" says Twilight.

"Not Interested" replies Claymore.

Twilight then tries to think of something else to say, and then says "Claymore, you obviously know more about magic than me, but I learned that Friendship is the most important of all Magics, and I want to give the magic of friendship to you-".

But then Claymore interrupts saying "Go Away!", and he levitates Twilight's hooves off the floor of the train's roof, then she gets caught in the wind & is thrown backwards, only to be caught by the rest of the Mane 6.

Then Rainbow gets upset & soars over to Claymore, "Hey pal" says Dash, "She's just trying to help you out, you don't have to be such a soar grape!"

Then Claymore grabs Rainbow with his magic, flips her over so her head is facing towards Claymore, slams her back side on the floor of the train's roof, then slides her up close to him so that they can make direct eye contact, "Tell you're rookie princess friend" says Claymore, "I don't want her sympathy, nor do I need anyone's help!", then he levitates her up & throws her backwards, naturally with her flying skills she recovers from that throw almost instantly.

Twilight then tries again, Twilight gets up to him & says "Claymore Please, as the Princess of Friendship it's my sworn duty to spread the Magic of Friendship to those who need it, even if they won't admit it, I know we can be friends".

"Friends only slow you down & hold you back" says Claymore.

Twilight then says "That's not true, Friends can help you out, whether it's with having a good time or dealing with problems-".

Claymore interrupts saying "You're starting to irritate me!",

Then Pinkie tries her hoof at talking to him, and try a bunch of Pinkie Pie-ish stuff to try and make him laugh, but nothing she tries works & Pinkie gets magically thrown backwards(but she'll be alright cause hey this is Pinkie Pie we're talkin' about here).

Then Twilight groans in angst & says "Why won't you just let me be your friend?!".

"Because you're just gonna get hurt!" replies Claymore, then with a bit of depression in his tone he says "The Dance Partners & Back-up Dancers keep changing, but it's always the exact same song & dance."

"Huh?" Twilight says in confusion.

Claymore then explains in a calmer manner "Look kid, what I do is the most dangerous job imaginable, but someone has to do it even if they don't want to, and often when others try to help me, they just end up severely injured or worse, so it's better for everyone if I do this job alone".

"Danger? pphhtt" says Rainbow, "Like were going to let any danger stop us, we've taken down the likes of Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, the Changelings, King Sombra, Lord Tirek & many other dangerous foes".

"But nothing could prepare you for this" replies Claymore, "I've fought sinister specters, battled armies of terrifying monsters, delt with demonic beings that would haunt your dreams for all eternity, and prevented powerful other worldly titans from destroying our universe, the very fate of our world often rests on my shoulders, and since I am the only twonicorn left in the world, I'm the only one who can handle these situations, I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of our world to the bitterest end, and now I must face the one foe who I've spent 2 centuries preparing for, the Ultimate Necromancer,(then we see a gleam of light shine across his sunglasses as he says)Grogar!"

"That's just the thing" says Twilight, "If Grogar is just as bad as everypony makes him out to be, then we'd all stand a better chance of stopping him if we all work together as friends".

"I'm not going to STOP Grogar" says Claymore.

"You're Not?" asks Twilight.

Claymore then replies "I'm Going to END Him!"(as he says that, he lowers his sunglasses & we see his different colored eyes for a few brief seconds).

"END Him?" asks Rainbow Dash, "Wait, you mean like as in(then she swipes her hoof across her neck while saying a high-pitched) Koweak?"(in other words Claymore plans to KILL Grogar, it's just saying END him sounds a little more kid friendly then just saying KILL).

"Exactly" says Claymore.

"What?!" says Twilight, "Are you Insane?! You can't END him, you can't just End someone-".

Claymore then interrupts & says "Grogar is not Just SOMEONE, he's the monster that has been a burden to 2 worlds for over 5000 years, he's responsible for the extinction of my own kind, I plan to bring him down once & for all, even if I have to go along with him, and I don't intend to have anyone get in my way, especially not a bunch of nosy kids!", he then teleports the Mane 6 & Spike back into the inside of the train, everyone ends up all in a pile like they were all thrown into the train's car.

Then everyone gets up,"Nosy Kids?!" says Rainbow, "Why that-" then she tries to fly up to a roof hatch again.

But Twilight magically grabs Rainbow by the tail and says "No Rainbow Dash! It's not worth getting upset over him, just let it go", then Rainbow flops onto her butt & makes a pouting pose.

"Well That went Swimmingly well" says Rarity.

"Wait, there was a Swimming Well on the roof of this train?" says Pinkie, "That's a funny place to go swimming".

"It's just a figure of speech Pinkie" says Rarity with a frustrated look on her face.

"Now what are we supposed to do?" asks Fluttershy.

"I guess the best thing we can do is let this play through & hope that we can find a better alternative later on" says Twilight.

That's quite a history lesson wouldn't you say?

Then we see the train pulling up to the Crystal Empire's train station, where Cadence, Shining Armor & the Empire's Crystal Royal Guard are all awaiting Claymore's arrival, when the train doors open and a bunch of passengers come out, a few seconds later we see Twilight & the others come out.

"Twily?" says Shining Armor, "What are you doing here?".

"We were informed by Celestia about the situation" says Cadence, "But we were expecting to meet Claymore".

Twilight then just points up & says "He's up there".

Then they all look up & see him standing on the train roof, looking around the city using his Twonicorn Sense trying to find the location of the Dark Soul Bell, then he leaps off the train, then starts walking towards Cadence, Shining & the Crystal Guard, Cadence tries to give Claymore a happy greetings to the empire, but Claymore just uses telekinesis to push everyone to the sides while saying "Yeah Whatever".

Shining Armor takes this offensively & walks over to Claymore saying "Hey you, what's the big idea, we were just welcoming you, you don't have-".

Then Claymore interrupts saying "I don't have time for this".

Then Shining gets more angry & runs right up in front of Claymore, stopping him in his path and says "Hey, I'm talking to you-".

But then Claymore holds one of his shurikens up to Shining's chin and tells him "I'm only going to say this once, Don't, Get, In, My, Way!".

Then he magically lifts Shining up and throws him backwards, then Claymore starts walking again while using his Twonicorn Sense, only to be stopped by the Crystal Guard, who are planning to arrest him for threatening & assaulting the Prince, but then Cadence(who is well aware of Claymore's past & the threat of Grogar) says "No Crystal Guard, Stand Down!".

"What? But your Highness-" says one of the guards.

"I Said Stand DOWN!" says Cadence, then the Crystal Guard backs away from Claymore & he continues onward.

Cadence then tends to Shining, "Geez, What's that guy's Deal?" says Shining.

"Let it go Shining" says Cadence, "It's not worth it with him".

"Are you Kidding me?!" replies Shining "Did you see what he just did to me?!".

"Yes" says Cadence, "But it's not his fault, back when I was still new to the whole being an Alicorn Princess deal, I actually met Claymore, Aunt Celestia told me all about him(then they start following Claymore while Cadence keeps explaining), being the last of the Twonicorns meant he had to take on all of the responsibilities of his entire species, ever since he was just a colt, he's lived a very rough life, it's only natural that he's experienced horrible things that ended up leaving him traumatized & emotionally unstable, besides he's way more powerful than even Celestia, so he can seriously kick your tail...Hard!".

"Yeah" says Shining, "Well I still don't like this guy".

"But like him or not" says Cadence, "He's still our only hope of stopping Grogar".

Then Spike comes up & says "Yeah, except this guy's not planning to STOP Grogar, but to END him".

Then Applejack adds in "As in, Claymore plans to-(then she swipes her hoof across her neck while saying a high-pitched)-Koweak, Grogar".

"What?!" says Shining, "That's crazy! Heroes don't to that".

Then Claymore interrupts saying "I'm no hero, I'm just someone who gets the job done, no matter what it takes".

Then Shining says sarcastically "Well that's sure comforting!".

"Shining" says Cadence, "I'm sure he only does this not because he wants to, but because he has to, this guy travels all over the globe, stopping disastrous threats, saving countless lives, and he never asks for anything in return...not even a simple Thank You, that's got to make him like the noblest warrior there is, the world needs what he can do, that's what makes him the good guy, and that's all it ever took to make me look up to him".

Shining then says "Yeah, well maybe if he had a better attitude he'd probably be seen more as a hero than just a jerk".

"And that's why I'm here" says Twilight, "As the Princess of Friendship it's my responsibility to spread the Magic of Friendship to those who need it, and right now Claymore desperate needs it, he never got to make any friends ever since he was little, and I plan to have him make me his friend".

"I don't know Twilight" says Cadence, "You might be biting off a lot more than you can chew here".

"No!" says Twilight, "I have to do this, for Claymore's sake, no pony should ever have to live their entire lives without any friends, especially when you're the last of your own kind & don't even remember who you used to be".

Shining & Cadence just go ahead and agree with Twilight, then we reach the crystal castle, where Claymore senses that the Dark Soul Bell is somewhere within the castle, suddenly the sun stops shining, then Rarity looks up to the sky telling everyone "Look at that!".

Everyone looks up to see dark clouds spreading all over Equestria's sky like butter on a bagel, "I really don't like the looks of those clouds" says Fluttershy.

Claymore doesn't even looking up at all & just entering the castle while saying "A sign that Tambelon is getting closer to it's arrival, the Sun won't be able to help us again anytime soon".

Everyone then gets worried & follows him into the castle, later we come to the thrown room, where Claymore comes in with the Mane 6, Spike, Cadence & Shining Armor all close behind him, Claymore still having his horns glowing showing that he's still using his Twonicorn sense, he then says "It's close".

The others all fell a little skeptic about that, Shining asks "Seriously?".

"I'm sure we would have noticed a powerful dark magical artifact being somewhere in the thrown room at some point before you came along" says Cadence.

Claymore then stares at the wall with the thrown while saying "You can only see with your Eyes, I can see with my Mind(referring to the phenomenon known as the Mind's Eye)", then he uses his Twonicorn magic to make the thrown split down the middle(with a beam of light going down the seam) and sliding open to the sides, revealing a secret room hidden behind the thrown.

Everyone is amazed by this, then they enter the secret room, where they investigate the room's hidden secrets & treasures that were sealed within, but they can't find the Dark Soul Bell, then Claymore notices hoof-prints on the floor that don't belong to any of them while he goes "Hmmm", then Claymore uses his Twonicorn Magic to cast a spell that creates a huge bubble-like dome that engulfs the entire room & everyone in it.

"What is this?" asks Twilight.

"Historical Event Replay Spell(which acts similar to the effects of the Time Flower from the 8th Pokemon Movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew), it'll reveal what happened last time in this very room" says Claymore.

"Really? I've never even heard of that spell before" says Twilight.

"Picked it up while training in Bridlaria(pony version of Bavaria, crossed with Bridle)" replies Claymore.

We then see a holographic image of Princess Amore entering the hidden room, then we see her take the Dark Soul Bell out from a satchel hidden behind her long mane, and she says "To think that from this little bell corrupting the unique minerals around this land, the entire Umbrum(Shadow Ponies) Race was born, never again must this powerful relic fall into the wrong possession", then she places the bell on a small pedestal, which is then engulfed in a protective bubble-shaped barrier, then she has that part of the room sealed off, by using her Unique Magic to make a wall come down from the ceiling, then she says "This should hopefully ensure that no one else ever finds it", then she leaves the room & the Replay spell ends there, returning everything back to normal.

Oh Boy Did I ever Goof Up this time

"Wait" says Shining Armor, "So Princess Amore found the Dark Soul Bell & had it hidden in this room all this time?".

"So then that bell was the source of the Umbrum's power?" asks Cadence.

"You could say that" Claymore says as he starts to explain, "The Dark Soul Bells were created so that those who do not wield magic would be bestowed with incredible dark magical powers, but for those who can already wield any kind of magic at all, such as Unicorns or Crystal Ponies, if they were to embrace the Bell's dark influence & allow that darkness to consume them, the Bell can corrupt & enhance their own magic to match the power levels of the Bell itself, enabling them to be able to wield all of that dark power without having to keep the Bell in their possession, but at the price of warping their personalities to be more like that of Grogar's, most likely the Dark Soul Bell was hidden within this land long before the empire stood here, and since the Crystal Ponies evolved from the unique minerals deep within this land, some of those minerals were probably corrupted by the Bell's Dark power, causing them to form the Dark Crystals that gave birth to the Umbrum as well as King Sombra, creatures that due to the Bell's influence became a bizarre cross between Crystal Ponies & Dark Goblins, who then waged war against the Crystal Ponies & their Empire, until Princess Amore found the Dark Soul Bell & removed it from the Umbrum's possession, then she used the Crystal Heart to imprison the Umbrum beneath the Empire, and tried to make sure that no one else could wield that Bell's power to endanger the Empire again".

Everyone is in a state of shock after hearing that explanation, then Twilight says "And just think, the Umbrum were THAT powerful because of only 1 of the Dark Soul Bells, if Grogar gets the complete set of those Bells, he'll be at least 13 times as powerful as they were!".

"Over my Cold Shedding Hide" says Claymore, then he uses his Twonicorn Magic to raise the same wall Princess Amore used to seal away the Dark Soul Bell, revealing the Bell in it's protective bubble shield.

Then Rainbow Dash(pumped-up and super-eager to keep the Bell safe from Grogar) runs towards it while saying "Come on let's get it".

Claymore then stops her while saying "Don't, it's in a protective shield".

But unnoticed by anyone until the last second, Pinkie Pie pulls the Bell out & says "No it isn't, see I got it out easy-peasy".

Claymore then gets frustrated & says "(Grr) that's because it's not a Force Shield, it's a Clocking Shield, to keep the Bell's dark aura concealed, you just let the Dark Goblins know it's here!".

"Oopsie" says Pinkie.

Then Dark Goblins start coming out of the walls, floor & ceiling, trying to get the Bell, Pinkie screams in terror & runs with the Bell, only to be tripped by a Goblin's hand coming out of the floor to grab her by the hoof, then Shining Armor takes the Bell, Twilight then blasts the Goblin that's got hold of Pinkie, then Claymore tells everyone to "Get Out!" of the room.

Then they all leave the room, then the Dark Goblins swoosh around like shadows, and fly into some rows of old empty suits of Crystal Armor, then the suits begin to morph to look more evil & spikier, then we see growing red eyes in the helmets, meaning that the Goblins have possessed the suits of armor.

"They've taken over those Antique Armors!" says Cadence.

Then our heroes have to battle the possessed armors, the armors can be knocked apart, but they almost instantly reassemble themselves.

"Hey No Fair!" says Pinkie "Stop getting back up!".

After a few minutes of our heroes knocking the armors apart & having them constantly reassemble, Claymore says "Enough!", then he takes out one of his swords, and unleashes an Energy Swipe at everyone, with proper control of his Magic, he can make the Energy Wave completely harmless to the Ponies & Spike, but it knocks all of the Armors down with just one big attack, everyone is impressed with what he just did.

"Now why didn't that hurt us at all?" asks Applejack.

"Precise Control" replies Claymore.

Naturally he had hoped that That attack would finish them all off, unfortunately the material that the armors were made of protected the Goblins from that Held-Back Attack, then suddenly all of the armors start glowing black, then all pieces start floating & gathering around.

"I don't think it's over just yet" says Cadence.

Then the Armors all start attaching themselves together to form one big thing, our heroes watch as the pieces keep coming together getting more worried by the second.

"It just keeps getting bigger" says Spike with concern.

Finally the last few pieces come together, then the big thing's eyes light up big & red, then we see that the armors have combined to form a dragon-robot-like creature that resembles Preda-King from Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters in his Bestial form, then the Armor Dragon lets out a big roar.

"A Dragon?!" shouts Fluttershy, "Why did it have to be a Dragon?!".

"Oh come on no pony said they could do THAT!" says Rainbow.

Then our heroes have to battle the Armor Dragon, it battles similar to Preda-King with it's claws, tail & even breathes fire as black as shadows(because when Dark Goblins combine, they form something much more powerful & possessing greater dark magic).

Applejack comments that by saying "And of course it breathes fire!".

"More like Shadow-Flames!" replies Rarity.

During this fight the Armor Dragon whacks Claymore with it's tail so hard that he's sent flying into a wall, causing him to lose the shrunken safe containing their first Dark Soul Bell, the Armor Dragon unintentionally steps on the safe crushing it, causing the Bell to pop right out of it, when it notices the Bell another Dark Goblin comes out of the floor to get it, then Shining tries to get it back, but the Armor Dragon hits him with it's head, causing Shining to lose the second Bell, which is grabbed by yet another Goblin.

Once Claymore comes to & sees this he's like "NO!", then tries to stop them, only to be cut off by the Armor Dragon's shadow-flames, the 2 Goblins holding the Bells escape through a nearby window, Claymore then angrily says "That Tears It!", then he takes one of his swords, he then lights it up real intensely like a Star Wars Light Saber set to OVERLOAD, then he grabs the sword with both his front hocks showing that he's dead serious this time, and he makes a stand off against the Armor Dragon.

Claymore then runs in charging towards the Armor Dragon while letting out a warrior's battle scream, then Claymore raises his sword and in Samurai Jack style, we see the screen go black and see a white slash go diagonally through the black screen, then we see Claymore on the opposite side of the Armor Dragon with his sword no longer raised, then the Armor Dragon has one half of it's body slide downwards a little bit, then a white light appears within it's huge cut, and the Armor Dragon explodes in a huge blast destroying all of the Goblins possessing it, leaving nothing but a pile of scorched & bent-up pieces of armor.

When everyone else saw this they were impressed with how awesome that was.

"Sweet Merciful Molasses!" says Shining Armor, "He Totally Annihilated that Big Thing in just One Attack!".

"Told ya he was Tough" replies Cadence.

Then Claymore rushes to the window and sees the two Goblins with both of the Bells are nowhere in sight, then his hoof glows with magic, and he bashes his hoof on the window-still denting it with a few cracks appearing beneath the dent, then he says "Gone!".

Then Twilight comes over to Claymore trying to apologize by saying "Claymore I-", but before she could even finish her sentence, Claymore magically takes out his chain, wraps it around Twilight super fast, slams her against the wall, then takes out his swords, and places them through the holes of two of his chain's links, pinning Twilight on the wall like a fur coat placed on a wall-hook, this all indicates that Claymore is furiously ticked off with Twilight right now.

Claymore then walks up to Twilight saying in an angry tone "I hope you're Happy! Thanks to you and your little Entourage, the Dark Goblins have the Final Missing Dark Soul Bells and are going to bring them to their master!".

"I'm Sorry", says Twilight with fear in her tone.

"SORRY, is not going to stop Grogar from bringing forth the end of the world as we know it once he's restored to his full power!" says Claymore.

"I was only trying to help" says Twilight with a sympathetic tone.

"You would've HELPED a lot better if you just stayed Out of this and left me Alone!" says Claymore.

Twilight's eyes then start to tear up as she says "I just wanted you to have a friend" with sorrow in her tone.

Claymore then gets right in Twilight's face and uses a booming voice so loud it rivals Luna's Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice as he says "I DON'T NEED ANY FRIENDS!!!!!!!".

Claymore then backs away, and takes all his weapons off of Twilight, and she ends up tossed right on the floor, Claymore then puts away all his stuff and walks towards the window while saying to Cadence & Shining "Inform Celestia of this outcome".

"Where are you going?" asks Cadence.

Claymore replies "The place where Tambelon will appear at, Dream Valley", then his hooves glow as he leaps out the window ninja style, we then see Twilight with her eyes watering in sadness.

"Are you alright?" asks Shining.

Twilight says in a sad tone "I'm not hurt, but I'm a long way from alright".

Cadence then wraps her hoof around Twilight's shoulders and says "All in all, I think Claymore has a point, maybe you should just go home and leave this to him", then Twilight, Spike & the rest of the Mane 6 walk to the exit.

Outside the castle Twilight is slowly walking while crying & her friends are right behind her, Spike then runs up to her side and asks "So Twilight, what now?".

"Nothing" says Twilight, "I'm just going to go home to my castle, and not come out for a really long time".

Applejack then comes up and says "Aww Come on Sugar Cube, don't be so hard on yourself".

"I screwed up big time, bad things are happening and all I did was make them worse" says Twilight.

Pinkie then comes up and says "Well technically I was the one who took the Bell out of it's Bubble Shield Thingy".

"But I was the one who dragged you all into this" says Twilight, "All because I was a fool to think that I could get Claymore to make me his friend, some friend I turned out to be, I'm just going to quit before I do any more damage".

"Hey now wait a minute" says Spike "This doesn't sound like you Twilight, you're the Princess of Friendship, the one who taught us all that Anything is possible when you have the Magic of Friendship on your side".

"Oh give it up Spike" says Twilight, "That's what I plan to do".

"Twilight!" says Spike "Did you give up when you tried to show Princess Luna that everypony Does Love her? NO!".

"Did we all give up when the Flim Flam Brothers tried to run Sweet Apple Acres out of business?" says Applejack "In A Pig's Eye We Did!".

"Did I give up when I tried to get Cranky Doodle Donkey to be my friend?" says Pinkie Pie "Abso-tootly-lootly-NOT!".

"Did I give up when I tried to get Discord to go from bad to good?" says Fluttershy, "Not Even Close!".

"So you made a mistake" says Rarity, "It happens to the best of us darling, it's best to never give up and just keep on trying no matter the outcome".

"But Claymore doesn't want to be my friend" says Twilight "Right now I think he hates me!".

"Hey, This situation is WAAAYY Bigger than just Claymore" says Rainbow, "Grogar is the real problem around here".

"Yeah, he's planning to bring that Armadrudgen..Armegludon..Arm..(groan)..that End of the World thing!" says Pinkie.

"And when the world is in trouble, you always answer the call" says Applejack to Twilight.

"And we'll always be right there along side you no matter what happens" says Fluttershy.

Twilight then cheers up and says "(Sniffle)You're right, I won't give up, not here, and definitely now, it's time to get serious".

"So oh brilliant leader we all know, love & trust" says Spike "Do you have a plan?".

"Hmm, I think I know just what to do" says Twilight "Come on, we have plenty of work ahead of us".

(serious voice)Let's Get Serious, (singing voice)Mon-tage Ti-i-i-ime!

Then we return to Canterlot, and we see the dark clouds are getting more sinister looking, we then go to a staircase and the Mane 6 are running down the stairs.

"So why are here exactly?" asks Rainbow Dash.

Twilight(who is carrying the Magic Tablet that contains the almost complete history of the Twonicorns with her) then reminds Dash "Remember what Celestia said about the Twonicorns having a magic forge that they used for crafting various weapons & armors to use in battle?".

"What about it?" asks Rarity.

Twilight then reminds her friends "Celestia said that the forge was placed in the basement of Canterlot Castle", finally they reach the castle basement and they come upon the Magic Forge, and notice that there is still a pleathera of various smithing materials, Twilight then tells the others "OK everyone, bring out all of the iron & silver you could get from back in Ponyville(which is actually a scene that was skipped to help save time)", they then set down their saddle bags of various iron & silver objects, then Twilight takes out the Magic Tablet & then says "Alright, it's time to kick things up a notch".

We then see a montage where we see Rarity taking measurements of her friends, then Twilight lights up the forge with her Alicorn Magic(feeling a little tired after successfully lighting it of course), then the Mane 6 plus Spike starts melting down materials, and smithing a bunch of pieces of armor, and Twilight constantly checks with the Tablet to see if they're doing things right, the Tablet also shows how the Twonicorns made various types of weapons & how to use them, so using the Twonicorns engineering, and modern day methods, our heroes make special weapons built to each of their own individual skills & styles, soon the ponies each try testing & practicing with their weapons, of course at first they don't use them 100% correctly, but that's what testing them is for, and using the Magic Tablet's history of the Twonicorns, the Mane 6 & Spike also try learning a few of the Twonicorns basic fighting techniques & combat moves, not getting them right the 1st time of course, but practice makes perfect, and they keep helping each other out with moves that seem difficult for the others to perform.

Now for their weapons, I though of some that I feel befit each character's individual traits:

~Applejack receives a pair of Hoof Gauntlets on her front hooves, each containing a retractable metal Whip, with her Roping skills a set of whips seems to fit her just fine, she does great with the wiping, but when she retracts the whip, it smacks her right on the nose(OUCH!), then Twilight shows AJ a holo-display on the tablet depicting a Twonicorn winding it's fore-limb around when pulling back an old-fashioned whip, AJ then takes that technique into account.

~Rainbow Dash gets a pair of High Density Hoof Gauntlets that have a very spiky texture like a horned lizard, these give her enhanced punching power, and with her Flying & Cloud Busting skills, it just seems like a good idea to give her some super hard boxing gloves, RD tries throwing some punches, but then she ends up getting one of her gauntlets stuck in the wall and has trouble getting it out, Rarity makes a notice to make RD's gauntlets have shorter spikes.

~Spike gets a pair of Gauntlets that each have 3 knuckle mounted retractable claws similar to those of Marvel's Wolverine, but they also have a special built-in mechanism that allows Spike to coat these claws with a flammable liquid at the push of a button, this allows him to set these claws on fire & do more damage to enemies, this idea seems befitting to Spike since he's a fire breathing dragon & all, Spike tries the fire-thing, but forgets to take his thumbs off the buttons to the flammable fluid containers and they end up exploding, Rarity tells Spike not to leave the containers open when he does the fire-thing.

~Rarity builds a special suit of armor for herself, that has a secondary armor layer containing a set of a couple dozen removable shuriken-like platelets shaped like her Diamond Cutie Mark, these platelets are small & light weight but very sharp & durable, they stick to her armor through a form of Magical Magnetism, and she controls them with her Unicorn Telekinetic Magic, the Platelets can be used for a variety of things like used to form a bunch of small shields, or one big shield, or be used like daggers for attacking, or be able for Rarity to stand on them to use like flying discs, and other stuff like that, leave it to Rarity to have battle armor that's both fashionable & functional, however while testing them out, she ends up doing something bad to something off-screen, then Twilight walks in from off-screen, then uses her magic to pluck off one of Rarity's platelets from her butt(OUCH), and hands it back to Rarity, who just smiles with a blush of embarrassment(in other words Rarity accidentally poked Twilight in the butt with a shuriken, just something to make Twilight the Butt of the joke).

~Now Since Fluttershy is more of a pacifist, her weapon is simply a long, light-weight but durable metal bow staff, it wouldn't fell right for her to wield something that's pointy, complicated or anything, so she gets one of the oldest & simplest weapons ever, a Big Stick, but she also has a pair of Hoof Gauntlets that are magically magnetized to specifically only attract that metal bow staff & nothing else, this will be so that she doesn't simply drop the staff or has it slip out of her grip in the middle of combat, and makes it so that if she loses the staff anyway, the gauntlets will respond to her will, and the staff will fly back into her hooves like a lightsaber returning to the hand of it's wielder through The Force, of course during her combat training, she accidentally trips herself & falls on the ground, so Twilight uses the Tablet's holo-display to show Fluttershy the correct movements.

~Pinkie Pie receives a set of retractable Numb-chucks, which are a pair of Hoof Gauntlets that each releases a chain with a single metal chuck attached to it, for Pinkie twirling a set of numb-chucks would be similar to using party favors you can twirl around, only these are for combat rather than a show, but for Pinkie it would be both at one time, and with her never ending talents she could also use them like helicopter propellers to float in mid air & a whole lot of other things, but during her training, she has one of her chucks accidentally hits herself on top of the head, giving her a big lump on her head, with the other chuck still spinning around, and then it hits her right in the face, knocking her down to the floor, Twilight then tells Pinkie to keep her chucks twirling away from her head & body to avoid hitting herself.

~Twilight decides to go with a pair of Hoof Gauntlets with simple retractable short swords, this is so she can try to mimic Claymore's "Energy Swipe" technique, where Twilight will channel her Alicorn Magic into her swords, and then unleash it as an energy swipe like Claymore's, she tests it out on a training dummy, naturally at first she doesn't get it correctly and the swipe poofs right in her face, but she keeps checking the technique on the holo-display and she improves with practice, she tries again & the swipe doesn't even go far enough to reach the dummy, she tries again & the swipe hits the dummy but doesn't damage it, and soon enough after a few more tries, she concentrates hard enough, and manages to pull off a small but effectively damaging swipe, and splits the dummy completely in half.

Later on we see the Mane 6 & Spike pulling off all of their weapon handling techniques perfectly, and successfully pulling off basic close combat moves exquisitely, then we see each one of our seven heroes putting on their pieces of armor, and taking hold of their weapons, we then see them all wearing their fulls suits of Iron & Silver-infused armor, with them all geared up for war, our heroes head out to Dream Valley.

Be on your gaurd, there's danger a foot, I mean Hoof!

When we get to Dream Valley(which is located in a huge U-shaped canyon somewhere with a dried up river, so it's surrounded by enormous cliffs), we see Claymore, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Discord, and the entire Royal Guard(consisting of all of Celestia's guards, and Luna's Bat-Pony Guards, as well as the Crystal Empire's Guards, including a cameo of Flash Sentry, and if you're wondering who's protecting Canterlot & the Crystal Empire, well if they don't stop the threat of Grogar there may not be a Canterlot or Crystal Empire left for them to protect at all, so Tambelon's return is currently priority number 1 for the Royal Guard) each armed with Spears laced with Iron & Silver, all of them are getting ready for Tambelon's return.

Celestia relay's to everyone on what they are supposed to do, everyone else then starts doing as Celestia tells them and go get prepared to take their positions, but when Celestia addresses Claymore he just says "Stow it Celestia, I know what to do", then he leaps off the cliff, then takes a sword in hoof, then stabs the cliff & slides down it, then leaps off right before he gets to the bottom, and lands safely on the ground.

"I seriously do not like his attitude" Luna says to Celestia.

"Attitude or not, he his still our first line of defense" replies Celestia, "And we must be ready to be the second line of defense should he fail".

Luna then complies by saying "Right", then Luna takes half of all the Royal Gaurd Forces into position on the opposite side of the valley.

Suddenly in the style of Doctor Who's T.A.R.D.I.S., Tambelon begins to fade into the Pony's Dimension, once Tambelon has fully appeared Celestia then tells Cadence and Shining Armor "NOW!", then the 2 of them place their horns together, and cast their combined Protective Dome Shield spells on all of Tambelon(so that Grogar and his forces can't escape), and the Dark Goblins that have the 2 missing Dark Soul Bells burst out of the ground from the opposite side of where Claymore is, and enter the city right before the Dome completely conceals it all, then Celestia tells Discord "Eyes in the Sky", then Discord flies right above the dome covered city & morphs himself into a multi-headed satellite-like thing to keep watch over everything that's happening from above, and provide aid wherever needed.

Shining Armor then says to Celestia in a stressed out manner "Wow, This is some Very Powerful Dark Magic".

Cadence then adds in the same stressed out manner "I'm not sure how long we can keep this up".

"Just keep going as long as you possibly can" Celestia tells them, then Celestia shouts to Claymore "Claymore, it's up to you now!".

Claymore just says "Yeah Whatever", he then illuminates both his horns, then some transparent river-like streams of Magic appear all over the empty space around him, and flows right into Claymore's horns(this is the way he draws in and absorbs Magic from the Hidden Magics to help power himself up, a trait that can only be done by the Twonicorns due to their heightened awareness & link to the Hidden Magics), once he's stored up as much Magic as he can hold without overdoing it, he then walks right through the shield and into the city.

"Be on your guard" Celestia tells everyone else, "Nothing gets out of that dome!", Celestia and many of the guards watch over the right side on one cliff, while Luna and the rest of the guards watch over the left side on the other cliff, and everyone gets ready as though they're going to attack the first thing that comes out of that dome.

Then Twilight and the others arrive WAY behind the spot where Claymore entered the dome, and hiding out in a small cave so no one else can see them.

Fluttershy has her doubts about this & says "I have a bad feeling that this isn't going to work".

Twilight reassures Fluttershy by saying "Don't worry, it will be OK, and if nothing else, if we do encounter Grogar, we can just call upon our Rainbow Power to beat him"

"And just how are we going to get in there without being seen?" asks Applejack.

"I have just the spell for that" says Twilight, then she makes a big bubble come out of her horn that engulfs all 7 of them, then they all become nothing but white outlines within the bubble, then they begin floating around completely unseen by anyone, Twilight then says "Bubble of Invisibility Spell, so long as this invisible bubble remains in tact and we stay inside it, we can't be seen or heard by anyone outside the bubble", then they go through the dome at the same spot Claymore entered.

Once they get in the city, the bubble then pops, making them all visible again, then they look around the city, and notice that things look so much different from inside the city than outside the city, Twilight then says "Incredible, it's like some kind of bridge between worlds, outside the city is Equestria, but inside is the Dark Dimension, if we weren't trying to save our world from a great evil, I would do a full-scale research project on this phenomenon".

"Enough with the sight seeing" says Rainbow, "Let's just find Claymore & kick Grogar's rump so we can get out of here".

Twilight says "Right", then they all get moving.

Well those were some pretty Revealing actions

We then see Claymore walking closer & closer to the center of the city, he's surrounded by Dark Goblins, but they've made a clear path for him, because due to the fact that Cadence & Shining Armor's Dome has covered the whole city, all of the Goblins are trapped in there, and are awaiting their master's next orders, and as Claymore keeps walking the Goblins are just standing there growling & hissing at him, when Claymore gets close enough to the big structures in the center of the city, he then shouts "GROOO-GAAAR!!!".

A few seconds later, a burst of black flames comes out of the top of the big structures, then we see glowing red eyes within those flames, then from out of the flames steps Grogar himself, he's about as big & buff as Big Macintosh, but still maintains a general resemblance to his G1 counterpart, but with a darker-shaded coat of blue fur, and has larger, pointier curved horns, and he's wearing a red collar containing all 13 of his Dark Soul Bells, with each step he leaves a shadow flame lit hoof-print, once he comes out of the burst of black flames they disappear right behind him, then Grogar looks down from the structures and says(in a deep & demonic sounding voice similar to that of Trigon, the one that was provided by Kevin Michael Richardson in Season 4 of the 2003 Teen Titans series) "Who dares to shout out my name in such a disrespectful manner".

Claymore then replies "I am Claymore, the lost son of the Twonicorn Tribe, for 5000 years you have been nothing but a plague on both my world & the Dark Dimension, all my life I have trained for your eventual return, now I am here to permanently end your tyranny, for my Home, for my Sacrifices, for my Ponies(if he was a human he would have said People)".

Grogar then laughs and says "You deluded twit, not even the entire Twonicorn Tribe could be rid of me forever, and you are foolish enough to believe that you can actually stop me, all by yourself?".

We then hear Twilight say "Good thing he's not by himself", then we see the Mane 6 & Spike making heroic poses while Twilight says "He has friends".

"What are you doing?" says Claymore "Get Out of Here!".

"Not a chance Claymore" says Applejack "We're here to help you take down Grogar".

"Whether you like it or not, we're staying right by your side" says Pinkie.

Then Grogar starts to laugh and says "Is this really the level of desperation you have reached twonicorn? Allying yourself with a Hodge-podge of different types of pony children".

"You won't be saying that once you see what these different types of ponies can do" Rainbow Dash tells Grogar.

Then the Mane 6 get into formation and Twilight says "RAINBOW POWER!", but nothing happens, and they all look confused, then they try it again and Twilight says "Rainbow Power!", but nothing still happens.

"Why isn't our Rainbow Power Working?!" asks Fluttershy.

Claymore then explains "Because the source of your Rainbow Power is the Tree of Harmony, as long as you remain on our Earth you keep a connection to the Tree, but if you were to leave the Earth or travel to another world outside our own, you sever the connection you have to the Tree, the only way to use your Rainbow Power without remaining connected to the Tree is to bring the Elements of Harmony with you to where ever it is you're going to go, once you entered the Tambelon city limits you went from being in our world to being in the world of the Dark Dimension, and since you didn't bring the Elements of Harmony with you here, you are unable to access your Rainbow Power, but you would have all ready known about that if you had learned the Rules of Trans-Dimensional Travel!!!".

Twilight then says(in an I Just Realized I Did Something Stupid type of manner) "Oohhhh".

Grogar then laughs and says "Very amusing, now then", he then has his Dark Goblins surround our heroes, preparing to attack, and our heroes stand close together & get ready to fight.

Claymore has his horns light up bright, but once they lite up, he then senses something all around them that was at first too well concealed by the massive amount of dark magic in the Dark Dimension for him to feel earlier, then he says "Wait, I sense something, it's faint, but it's all around us, I've never sensed this before, yet it feels so familiar to me somehow", then he GASPS while making a surprised expression in his face & his sun-glass slide down enough for us to see his eyes.

Twilight notices this and asks "Claymore? What is it?".

"Twonicorns" says Claymore.

"Huh?" goes Twilight.

Claymore then says "The Twonicorns, they're here, they're all here!".

"Where?" asks Rainbow "I don't see any twonicorns".

Claymore then charges up his horns and blasts out a massively powerful Revealment Spell, to reveal that all of the Twonicorns that disappeared along with Tambelon 500 years ago are all still alive, hundreds of them all over the city, each of them sealed inside of a dome-like magical energy pod that has kept them in stasis for centuries, and the Pods were both invisible & intangible so that they could not be seen or felt before Claymore sensed them and used his Revealment Spell to reveal them all, the Twonicorns are floating inside these Pods, surrounded by a strange transparent mist inside the Pods, it's as if the Twonicorns were somehow placed within a cryogenic state of suspended animation since Tambelon's previous disappearance so long ago, and some of these Pods even have a parent with it's child/children sharing the same Pod, after the Twonicorns are all revealed, Pinkie Pie says "Oh, Now I see them".

Grogar then looks around and says "The Twonicorns? They all Live?!", then he roar & tries to blast them with a dark magic blast, but the Pods are all unharmed, some of the Dark Goblins try to attack the Pods, but one of them just has his hand shatter like glass upon contact with the Pod, and That one of those Goblins fells no pain but looks at it's missing hand in confusion.

Spike takes off one of his armor-gauntlets & tries knocking on one of the Pods with his bare hand, he then says "These things seem pretty solid to me".

Then Claymore's sword stabs the same Pod Spike knocked on, then the Pod dissipates, and the twonicorn within falls to the ground still breathing, but is in a sleep-like state because it's too weak to get up, due to the fact that it has exhausted itself staying inside that Pod for so long, Claymore then bucks another Pod close by with his horseshoe, then the same thing happens to the twonicorn from That Pod, then Claymore uses his Twonicorn Sense and says "I see, only contact with Silver can break those Pods".

Then to keep safe from a bunch of attacking Dark Goblins, Claymore makes a protective dome-shield around himself, the Mane 6, Spike & the pair of twonicorns they already freed, Claymore then makes a determined expression and says to Twilight "Twilight, the situation has changed, these Twonicorns are in no condition to defend themselves, you and your friends must get all of the Twonicorns out of the city quickly, get Celestia & her forces to help you out".

"But what are you going to do?" asks Twilight.

"Grogar is mine!" says Claymore, then he blasts the dome away to get rid of the Goblins that surrounded them, and runs off to battle Grogar.

"Claymore Wait!" says Twilight.

Then Spike stops Twilight and says "No Twilight, don't you see, Claymore is trying to buy us some time, we need to get the Twonicorns to safety".

Twilight then tells Spike "You're right", then they go to tend to the Twonicorns.

Claymore heads over to where Grogar is, who is still unsuccessfully trying to destroy the Pods with the Twonicorns inside them, then Claymore gets on the roof of the same structure Grogar is standing on but from the opposite end, Claymore then says "Grogar! You want to be rid of the Twonicorns? Then start with Me".

Grogar then starts laughing and says "You Pathetic Fool, you think You can take Me on? I am Grogar, The Ultimate Necromancer, Master of the Dark Goblins, Lord of-", then a magic bolt from Claymore hits Grogar right in the face, making him shout in pain & stop talking.

Then Claymore makes a battle-ready pose and says "Shut Up And Bring It!".

Claymore did that just to get Grogar so angry, that he would get sloppy & forget about the other Twonicorns and focus solely on Claymore himself, and that did indeed work, for Grogar with singe marks on his face then gets really ticked-off, his eyes glow really bright red and he shouts "YOU DARE!!!!!!!", then their big battle begins.

Kicking butt while Rescuing, who says we can't multitask

Meanwhile as Claymore and Grogar are duking it out, the Mane 6 & Spike each free a Twonicorn using their armor & weapons that are made with silver, then they head to the outside of the dome covered city, carrying the few twonicorns they freed.

Once they reach the dome, Twilight sticks her head outside & calls out "Princess Celestia!".

"Twilight?!" says Celestia in a way that signifies that she is surprised that Twilight & her friends are there, so she comes over to them saying "What are you doing-?!", but stops in mid-sentence because she is even more surprised to see a bunch of Twonicorns with them, "Twonicorns?!" Celestia asks, "What is going on here?!".

Twilight informs Celestia of the situation by saying "The Twonicorns that went into Tambelon 500 years ago, they're all still alive".

"Hundreds of them" Pinkie Pie adds, "Scattered all over the city, they've all been sealed inside these weird Magic Bubble Thingies the whole time, and only contact with silver can open them".

"What about Claymore?" asks Celestia.

"He's keeping Grogar occupied" replies Twilight, "The other Twonicorns are too weak to defend themeselves, we have to get them all out of the city so that they can get medical attention while Claymore can still keep Grogar's attention".

"I understand" says Celestia, she then gets almost everyone else to aid in getting the Twonicorns out of the city, so they go into the city and fight the Dark Goblins that are not currently aiding Grogar in his battle against Claymore, and every minute or so during Claymore's battle against Grogar, we take a moment to see how Twilight & the others are doing on their side, we even see their reactions to some of the incredible feats of magic that those 2 are doing during battle.

For the majority of the time we see the royal guards breaking the twonicorns out of the pods & carrying them to safety, while the Mane 6 are mostly covering the guards by attacking the Dark Goblins using their fancy new weapons & moves.

~Applejack keeps lashing her whips at the Goblins, even going so far as to spin one whip around like a lasso while saying "This is how we do it Cow-Pony Style(if she was Human that would have been Cow-Girl Style)", then she wraps one Goblin up with her whip, and spins around like she's wielding a wrecking ball, bashing a whole bunch of Goblins with one of their own, then releases the wrapped up Goblin onto a bunch more Goblins like a rock in a sling-shot, reducing the Goblins down to smoke, then A.J. shouts "Yee-Haw" & goes on to do more fighting.

~Rainbow Dash is seen punching several Goblins one by one, then when a whole swarm of Goblins start coming after her, she then flies towards them & shouts "Rainbow Drill!" while spinning around like a drill, then when she makes contact with the swarm, she keeps punching at a rapid speed, boring through the swarm like a drill, leaving nothing but smoke in her path, then when she bursts out through the swarm, she flexes her frontal leg muscles and shouts "Yea-ha-ha-ha-HEAH!", then she keeps on battling.

~Spike goes around slashing through Goblins with his Gauntlet Claws, and says "Fear my Claws of Justice!", then he sets his claws on fire and shouts "Now my claws are on FI-RE!" while leaping up & spinning around like a flaming top, slashing Goblins with his flaming claws, then he slams his claws on the ground, unleashing a small stream of flames erupting out of the ground, burning any Goblins within a few yards in front of him, then he keeps on fighting.

~Rarity is seen using her special Diamond-shaped platelets like daggers to attack Goblins, combining them to form a shield shaped like a snowflake, hopping on some of them to fly on like they were flying discs, then at one point she leaps up in the air, spins around like a ball, and unleashes all of her platelets at once, destroying several Goblins surrounding her at a 41,252.96 square degree radius, then she recalls her platelets & says "Even in a Battle-Field I know how to Accessorize!", then she keeps fighting.

~Fluttershy is seen hitting many Goblins with her Bow-Staff, reducing them all to smoke, getting more & more stressed out by the pressure as this keeps going on, then when a swarm of them surround her, she gets frustrated & shouts "All of you Meanies Be GONE!" while holding out her staff & spinning around like a tornado, sucking up the whole swarm of Goblins in her wake, then she unleashes a single strike that destroys the tornado & all of the Goblins she sucked up, as they get destroyed she is seen making a long, angry war cry, then she calms down a bit, and in the true Fluttershy fashion, she lets out a very quiet "Yay!", then keeps going.

~Pinkie is seen jumping around bashing Goblins with her Numb-chucks, she also twirls her chucks around while she spins around in all kinds of ways, even going so far as to use her chucks like fans to suck up a Goblin, then throw it at another one, at one point she leaps up, spinning like a top, while twirling one of her chucks above her head like a helicopter propeller, and the other chuck twirling in front of her like a fan blade, while saying "Twirling Chucks of Fury!", and just keeps on fighting.

~Twilight is seen flying around in the sky with some Goblins coming up on her tail, then she says to herself "Time to try some of those new moves I learned", she then attacks the Goblins saying the names of the moves she uses as she does them, "Back-Buck!" and kicks a Goblin behind her with her hind leg, "Side-Chop!" and karate chops a Goblin to the side of her, "Spin-Kick" and spins around while hitting a couple of Goblins around her with her other hind leg sticking out, "Hammer-Stomp!" and bashes a Goblin below her on it's head using her front hoof, then as a few more Goblins are coming right in front of her, Twilight then brings out one of her retractable short swords, charges it up with her Alicorn Magic, then she says "En-Er-Gy(eeeeeee) Swipe!" and she successfully unleashes a full energy swipe, nowhere near as big or as powerful as Claymore's of course, but still strong enough to take down the Goblins in front of her, then Twilight goes "Yes!", then she frees another twonicorn from a pod with her sword, retracts the blade, and magically carries the twonicorn to safety, cause even the Mane 6 still need to keep getting twonicorns out of the city while battling Dark Goblins(and yes this scene with the Mane 6 & Spike here was mostly inspired by the final fight scene in the Disney's Big Hero 6 Movie).

With Rainbow Dash being the fastest flyer, she goes all around the city making sure they got all of Twonicorns, and didn't miss even one of them, at one point she manages to find a twonicorn right next to a big brightly glowing bell(the Light Soul Bell), Dash wonders about that bell, but decides to worry about it later, because she has a twonicorn she needs to take care of first, later on after every last twonicorn has been successfully evacuated, Rainbow Dash informs the others by saying "That's all of them".

Twilight then asks Celestia "So what do we do now?".

"Find the Light Soul Bell and ring it" says Celestia, "It's the only way to send Tambelon back into the Dark Dimension for at least another 500 years".

"Was it a great big bell that was glowing like a lightning bug?" asks Rainbow.

"That's it" says Celestia.

Twilight reassuringly says "Don't worry Celestia, we'll get to that bell", then Rainbow & Twilight fly back into the city, Twilight says "Rainbow, you know where the bell is, you go and ring it, then get out of the city as quick as you can".

"But what are you going to do?" Rainbow asks Twilight.

"I'm going to stick to my vow & be there for Claymore, as his Friend", says Twilight.

"Gotcha'" says Rainbow "Just make sure to get out of here yourself, don't want to lose you for the next 500 years", then Rainbow goes off to get to the Light Soul Bell, then Twilight flies off to get to Claymore, who is still in the middle of his battle against Grogar.

Meanwhile, in the battle of Claymore vs. Grogar

View Online

To help get more in the mood as I describe their battle, imagine all of this stuff happening while listening to the song Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon from the anime Attack on Titan, and just so you're aware, I'll be making lots of references to various other things that will be happening during this battle, so you may need to look up a ton of stuff.

Rewinding time back to the battle of Claymore vs. Grogar, to see what happened from their angle, after the part where Grogar says "YOU DARE!!!!!!!", he shoots out Dark Magic Bolts from his Curved-Ram horns, and Claymore ninja-style leaps to dodge it, and starts shooting Magic Bolts back at Grogar, and Grogar manages to evade Claymore's bolts while still firing bolts of his own, after a bit of this dodge & fire game, we then see Claymore running off the edge of the structure they were both on, but instead of falling, he starts galloping upwards on thin air with some sort of magical pathway appearing underneath his hooves that dissipates after so many steps, like he was forming a disappearing sidewalk under his hooves as he was running in the air, similar to the purple translucent path of light that Sonic the Hedgehog ran on during the Starlight Carnival area in the game Sonic Colors(Wii version), only it's smaller and is in the color of his magic aura(Platinum Colored), and then Grogar does the same trick, only his pathway is black with a white outline(Hey just because they don't have wings, doesn't mean they still can't use gravity defying magical abilities), and the two of them climb up high above the city, where they start running around in a big circle as they keep on shooting magic bolts at each other, after a few seconds worth of that, they stop in mid-air and start unleashing attacks at each other.

Grogar takes his front hoof & swipes it to fire an array of red energy spears(similar to Shadow the Hedgehog's Chaos Spear) at Claymore, then Claymore counters by taking his front hoof, and launches a crescent shaped energy boomerang that takes out all of the energy spears in one hit moving from side to side, then Claymore performs some Kung-fu-like movements, then uses both of his front hooves to form a circle(like a set of clock hands both moving in opposite directions), and within the circle are 6 glowing spheres, Claymore then unleashes those spheres as though they were fire-balls made of Kung-fu chi, Grogar then counters by swiping both his front hooves up to from a dark magic shield that is destroyed once hit with those fire-ball spheres, then Grogar claps both his front hooves together(like the Hulk's Thunder Clap) to unleash a dark magic sonic pulse, Claymore then counters by taking out one of his swords, and swipes it to unleash an energy wave that hits the sonic pulse, and they blow each other up, then Claymore charges up his horns and fires an energy sphere upwards, the sphere then bursts like a fireworks rocket, unleashing a shower of energy comets(similar to the Pokemon move Draco Meteor, only they can be controlled telekinetically), Claymore then unleashes the energy comets to home in on Grogar, but then Grogar summons a bunch of his Dark Goblins, to sacrifice themselves by taking the impact of the energy comets leaving Grogar unharmed.

Grogar then summons a swarm of millions of Dark Goblins spouting out of the ground like a geyser, to attack Claymore all at once, Claymore then counters by taking both of his swords, spins them around like fan blades, and charges right into the Dark Goblin swarm as it just keeps coming, as Claymore dispatches the Goblins, they evaporate into smoke, and the swarm keeps waving & wobbling around like it was a pool noodle toy connected to a water sprinkler attachment, only the noodle has smoke coming out of it instead of water(trust me it looks pretty good in my head, just think about it hard enough), after about ten seconds Claymore has dispatched the entire swarm, then he looks to see Grogar levitating 3 entire large buildings(don't worry, even if those buildings have any twonicorns inside them, the Pods they're sealed in will keep them protected as long as they don't come into contact with silver) and throws them one by one at Claymore, then to avoid damage Claymore leaps onto the first building, galloping across it, then he leaps on to the second building, running across it on his hind legs like a ninja, and for the third building, Claymore takes out both his swords & unleashes a huge X-shaped energy wave at it, causing the building to be split into 4 pieces, and Claymore goes right through them, but then Claymore levitates the 4 building pieces and throws them right back at Grogar, Grogar then blocks the building pieces by crossing his front legs to form a barrier to protect himself, then Grogar raises his front legs up, and forms a humongous Dark Magic sphere about the size of a single story house, then he throws the giant sphere at Claymore, but then Claymore takes out his chain, then throws one end it at the giant sphere, then the chain magically latches onto the giant sphere, and Claymore then pulls on the chain to swing the giant sphere around, and then magically unlatches the chain to throw the giant sphere back at Grogar, then Claymore blasts the giant sphere with a magic beam to increase it's speed, then Grogar gets hit with his own giant sphere, and is knocked backwards so hard, that he hits the giant Dome covering the entire city & takes quite a bit of damage, then Claymore starts charging right at Grogar.

But before Claymore can even get to Grogar he summons more Dark Goblins, the Goblins start taking the forms of giant fists to attack Claymore, who manages to dispatch them easily, but that was just a distraction, to allow Grogar to summon thousands more Goblins to all merge together to form one giant sized 6-Armed Dark Goblin about 100 feet tall or more, it then starts attacking Claymore, who manages to evade it but leaping from building to building around the city, then after at least 10 seconds worth of dodging the giant Goblin's attacks, Claymore then goes into the offensive by taking out both of his swords, leaping up, sticking his swords out in front of him, encasing himself & his swords in some levitation magic, then starts zooming around like a rocket with a blade mounted cone, then Claymore starts piercing right through the giant Goblin in one end & out the other side, then he soars around and does it again, then he does it several more times, then from a distance we see him zooming around turning the giant Goblin into Swiss Cheese(similar to what Nova did to Titus's ship in the episode of Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors entitled Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and believe me that was Awesome), then Claymore dives into the center of the giant Goblin, and unleashes an energy blast from inside the giant Goblin to destroy it, then Claymore lands on the rooftop of a building.

And Grogar who is on another building's rooftop not too far from Claymore, then lifts up his front legs and stomps the ground to unleash a bed of huge stalagmite-like dark matter spikes heading straight for Claymore, then Claymore takes his swords, then flips himself upside down, extending his front legs as though he was standing on them, and with his swords sticking out like a double-bladed staff, he then spins around like a top while his swords are sticking out, Claymore then slices all of the spikes in front of him from the bottom, and while he slices them, he also uses levitation magic to carry them all with him, after slicing all of those spikes out, Claymore then flips back right-side up, then fires the spikes back at Grogar, who manages to evade the spikes by hovering a few inches above the ground & swifting around very quickly to avoid getting hit, Grogar then gets angry and breathes a huge stream of Shadow-Flames at Claymore, but Claymore counters it by swiping both of his front hooves away from each other, to unleash a tornado that swallows the Shadow-Flames & disperses them away, then Claymore starts running towards Grogar, but Grogar then forms a wall of red energy spears to attack Claymore, but Claymore manages to deflect them with one of his swords, then Grogar leaps above Claymore encasing him in a dome of red energy spears, then as the spears continuously shoot towards Claymore, he uses both of his swords to deflect them all, while also using swift choreography & blazing speed to evade each and everyone of them(similar to the Final Xemnas Battle from the game Kingdom Hearts 2), after about 15 or 20 seconds worth of that awesome display of swordsmanship(or in Claymore's case, Sword-Steed-ship), Claymore unleashes a magic blast to dispel the dome of energy spears, then Grogar lands back on the floor of the rooftops.

Then Grogar summons more Dark Goblins, only these Goblins are all carrying chunks of metal, Grogar then uses his Dark Magic to fuse the Goblins and the metal together to forge a pair of Shadow-Scythes(because let's face it, a scythe is pretty bad-ass as a weapon), then Grogar and Claymore quickly stare each other down, then they both let out warrior battle screams and go charging at each other, then they basically have one of those generic sword fights, but because they both can levitate their weapons, this will allow for better choreography during their fight, as they fight we see them both swiftly moving around, and we also see white flashes on the screen as their blades clash with each other, after at least 10 or more seconds worth of that, Grogar then begins floating and fires a Magic Beam at Claymore, and Claymore floats while firing a Magic Beam at Grogar, while that's happening both the Swords & Scythes are still clashing with each other, because Claymore & Grogar are still controlling them while multitask-battling, as their Magic Beams make contact, they both bend upwards and they end up forming a swirling cloud of Dark Magic & Twonicorn Magic, and while still firing their Magic Beams, Grogar summons even more Dark Goblins to attack, and Claymore responds to this by levitating out all of his Shurikens, as well as take out his chain & detach all of it's links, and then uses them with his magic to hit all of the Dark Goblins Grogar keeps summoning, from a distance this looks like a swarm of glowing bugs are quickly buzzing around attacking a bunch of shadows that just keep coming and evaporating into smoke, and Claymore & Grogar just keep on firing their Magic Beams while still clashing their blades all at the same time(now that's what I call Magical Multitasking, Twilight could sure learn a lot from those guys), the two of them keep doing this for a few seconds.

Then finally they drop everything, and they decide it's time to finish this(Dragon Ball franchise Super Sayian style), Grogar encases himself in a burst of Dark Magic to the point where all we see is his White outline surrounded by a flaming Black aura, and Claymore encases himself in a burst of Twonicorn Magic to the point where all we see is his Black outline surrounded by a flaming Platinum aura, then the two of them charge at each other, then they collide with each other, and so far it appears that they are evenly matched, like the Unstoppable Force meeting the Unmovable Object, then after about 10 seconds or something worth of that, we start to see that Claymore is starting to get exhausted, because he's been warring himself out keeping Grogar distracted for so long, and he doesn't want to go for broke and completely exert himself beyond his limit just yet, then finally Grogar overpowers Claymore, and Claymore is knocked backwards stumbling across the rooftops, until he comes to a stop and is shown to be badly injured with scuffs & bruises(now I just had to make it so that Claymore would lose this fight, because it would show everyone that not even the most powerful equine in the world could handle everything all by himself, since this is MLP: FiM and all something had to happen to teach a friendship lesson in all of this).

When Twilight notices Claymore's whoopin' from a distance she shouts "CLAYMORE!" and flies towards his position, only to be swamped by an overwhelming number of Dark Goblins.

WHEW, I got to tell ya, trying to describe their battle was pretty much the hardest part about typing this whole thing, it's very difficult to take the images of a fight THIS intense out of my head, and translate them into words, and describe certain scenes using references, but in the end I did it, and I hope all of you out there reading this will appreciate all of the effort I put into this, because it was not easy.

This is the Redefining Moment of your Life

Then we see Claymore trying to get up, but Grogar pins Claymore down with his front hoof, Grogar deep breathing from exhaustion then says "I'll admit you have proven yourself to be a formidable adversary, but you were a fool to think that you could defeat me".

"I didn't need to defeat you" says Claymore "I just had to distract you".

"Distract Me?" asks Grogar.

Then we see Rainbow Dash reaching the Light Soul Bell, and she rings it by hitting it like it was a cloud, then we see Grogar hearing the ringing, then he says "The Light Soul Bell!".

Then while Grogar is not looking, Claymore levitates one of his shurikens to swipe across Grogar's neck, not harming Grogar, but more importantly cutting off his collar containing all of his Dark Soul Bells, Claymore then levitates the collar away from Grogar, Grogar then shouts "My Dark Soul Bells!".

Then Claymore levitates his sword, lights it up, and slashes it through the collar, slicing all 13 of the Bells apart, then the pieces of the Bells fall to the floor of the rooftops, then all of the Dark Magic within the Bells spouts upwards like an oil gusher, and heads back deeper into the Dark Dimension where it all came from, Grogar then has his front legs positioned at a 90 degree angle and shouts "NNOOOOO!!", as he says that, we see the red glow in his eyes extinguish, leaving him with dim-red eyes(much like how his G1 counterparts eyes appear).

Then we see Twilight still being swamped by Dark Goblins, when suddenly the Goblins eyes go from being a glowing red to a shiny purple(like a fish's eyes), then they stop attacking Twilight and start looking around confused, indicating that they are no longer under Grogar's control, then Twilight takes advantage of this opportunity and unleashes a Magic Blast to decimate the band of Goblins, then she starts flying to Claymore's position once again.

Then we see Grogar mourning over the loss of his Dark Magic powers saying "NO-ho-ho, My Bells, My Power!", then Claymore takes advantange of this by using his front hoof to Sucker-Punch Grogar with an Uppercut right to the chin, Grogar gets hit so hard that he's knocked backwards and falls on his back unconscious.

Then Claymore while breathing heavily from exhaustion, gets up & limps over to Grogar's position, he magically attracts one of his swords, and takes hold of it in his hock, then he stands up on his hind legs, taking his sword in both of his front hooves, then he pulls his sword back over his head, and prepares to stab Grogar right in his cold black heart and end him once & for all.

But before he does it we hear Twilight's voice as she says "No Claymore!", then we see Twilight flying right behind Claymore as she says "Don't do it!".

"Stay out of this!" says Claymore, "It's what this Monster rightfully deserves" .

"Claymore, you don't have to do this" says Twilight, "The Twonicorns have all been successfully evacuated, they're all safe, the battle is over, we've won, Grogar lost, look at him Claymore, he's completely powerless now, there's nothing more he can do to harm anyone, he's no longer a threat, if you end him now, you'll only prove that you're no better than him, you'll just be showing everyone that you're no less of a monster than he ever was, I know that in your heart you're more than just a living weapon, you ARE a Hero Claymore, so do what a True Hero would do, take the highroad, be better than this, just leave him, and return home, to your friends, please", and close to the end of her speech Grogar regains consciousness and sees Claymore about to stab him, but after Twilight's speech Claymore makes a frustrated face, then he calms down & lowers his sword away from Grogar, Twilight finally managed to reason with Claymore & touch his heart.

Claymore then levitates all of his weapons, and puts them all away in his pouches while saying "You will get what you deserve Grogar, but it won't be dealt by me", then he walks over to Twilight and says to Grogar "Enjoy your next 500 years, they won't be pleasant", then he teleports both himself & Twilight away.

Then Grogar gets up, and then looks behind him to see all of the Dark Goblins staring at him while hissing & growling, it's clear that the Goblins are no longer under Grogar's control, Grogar then says "W-what are you doing? Wait, Stop, I'm your master, I command you", then the Dark Goblins all swoop in on Grogar, and Grogar shouts "NOOO!!!" as the Goblins overwhelm him, and all we see is the Goblins swamping him until the screen turns completely black(guess this is what Claymore meant when he told Grogar that he would get what he deserved, taken down by the very monsters he once controlled, what an ironic way to go).

Meanwhile outside of Tambelon, we see the entire city is beginning to fade away the exact same way it faded back in, everyone else is on the edge of their seats hoping for Twilight & Claymore to come out(including Rainbow Dash who managed to get out of the city earlier), finally right before the city finally fades out for another 500 years, Twilight & Claymore teleport right out of the city with only about 2 seconds to spare, Spike & the rest of the Mane 6 are happy to see that they made it.

"Cuttin' it a little close there weren't ya?" says Applejack to Twilight.

"Hey you know me" replies Twilight, "Always with perfect timing".

Celestia comes over to see Twilight & Claymore and says "I'm glad you made back safe & sound, but what became of Grogar?".

"Don't worry" answers Claymore, "I destroyed all of his Dark Soul Bells, so even if he returns in 500 years, I doubt he'll be of any threat at all".

"Wait a minute" asks Rainbow, "If the Dark Soul Bells could be destroyed that easily, why didn't you just destroy the Bells you already had before?".

Then one of the Twonicorns who apparently is their leader says "Because if the Dark Soul Bells were destroyed in our world, then without a proper vessel, all of the Dark Magic contained within them would just roam around out of control, and just cause many cataclysmic disasters for our world, but if they were destroyed while in Tambelon, then their Dark Magic would just go back into the Dark Dimension where it all came from, of course our ancestors knew of this, but couldn't risk having Grogar recover the Bells & regain his true power, so they had to hide them where they had hoped Grogar would never reclaim them, and back when Tambelon was here the last time, we had to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good, so after we rang the Light Soul Bell to send Tambelon back into the Dark Dimension along with all of us, we all used our magic to conjure & seal ourselves within stasis pods that would keep us all in a hibernative state of suspended animation for countless moons, we also made our pods both invisible & intangible so that we could not be seen nor felt, those pods protected us from the harsh environment of the Dark Dimension, and only a powerful enough revealment spell could make us visible & tangible again, and we made it so that only silver, a metal that no creature bond to the Dark Dimension's magic could touch, would be able to break our pods & awaken us, and now at long last, the threat of Grogar is no more, (then he walks over to Claymore and says)and we appear to have you to thank for that, what is your name anyways?".

Claymore then says while feeling kind of awkward "Oh-uh, I forgot my true name long ago, but my-uh, Friends, call me Claymore".

"Well, you have our eternal gratitude Claymore" says the Twonicorn Leader.

"I-uh, just did what needed to be done, that's all" says Claymore.

"So what happens now?" asks Fluttershy.

"Since ancient times, we twonicorns have remained hidden from the rest of the world, I suppose we must now return to our isolated way of life" says the Twonicorn Leader.

"Wait" says Twilight, "Listen, a lot has changed since ancient times(as she's saying this we see the screen panning to the side showing us Spike, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, Cadence, Discord, The Canterlot Royal Guards, The Crystal Guards with Flash Sentry among them, then it pops back to Twilight), we've all had some awful tragedies and wonderful experiences, sure back then Ponies couldn't handle the truth, but we've all grown wiser & more mature, we've all learned to adapt to new roles, and become more accepting of others, so even if were all different, we always help each other through the good times & the bad, and no matter what obstacles come our way, we all stand together, united by the Magic of Friendship, the Twonicorns don't have to be separated from the rest of the world just because they think we'll be safer, you can join us all, live amongst us, and if something bad comes along, we can all work through it together as friends".

"I'd listen to her if I were you" says Claymore, "She is very wise beyond her years".

"Perhaps you're right" says the Twonicorn Leader, "A lot has changed, and we have missed out on a lot, especially over the last 500 years, maybe it is high time we Twonicorns stop being a secret tribe, and amalgamated ourselves with the rest of society, under the Magic of Friendship".

"Well you are all more than welcomed to make your home throughout Equestria" says Celestia.

Then Pinkie Pie butts in and says "And do you all know what this calls for.....".

Then we see all our heroes, the Ponies of Ponyville, and a bunch of Twonicorns all having a good time, interacting with each other, we even see the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the other young Ponyville foals, and some young twonicorn foals all running around playing together, everyone is just having a good time together, celebrating not only the defeat of Grogar, but also the return of the long lost Twonicorns, then Twilight looks around as though she's searching for something.

Then she sees Claymore(with his sunglasses resting on his top horn via DJ PON-3 style) standing by a tree close to the outskirts of Ponyville, staring up at the moon & stars, Twilight then comes over to Claymore and asks "Hey Claymore, What are you doing over here?".

"I, owe you an apology Princess Twilight Sparkle" says Claymore.

Twilight asks in a confused manner "Oh?".

"All my life, I've thought that since I was the last of the Twonicorns" explains Claymore, "I was all alone in the world, so I felt that meant I would always remain alone, and that it would be better if I fought against evil all by myself, especially so that no one else would get hurt, but, back in Tambelon, when I sensed that all the other Twonicorns were still alive, I had an epiphany, I realized that I was no longer the only twonicorn there was anymore, and that I was no longer alone in this world, but I knew I would not have been able to save all of them and take on Grogar all by myself, fortunately, I didn't have to, if you & your friends hadn't kept trying to help me, and persistently trying to make me your friend, all of these other twonicorns may not be here right now, I'm glad you never gave up on me, even when I gave up on myself a long time ago, I just hope you can forgive me for how I mistreated you earlier".

"Hey" says Twilight, "That's what friends do, they forgive each other, and they never give up on one another".

Claymore then lets out a short laugh & says "Spoken like a true Princess, one who I'm honored to call my friend".

Twilight then smiles with joy and says "Now come on, let's join in the fun".

"Thanks" says Claymore, (then he levitates his sunglasses over his eyes again and continues to say) "But I'm still not much for mingling".

Then Claymore starts walking away on an open road, "Hey where are you going?" asks Twilight.

"The threat of Grogar may be over with" says Claymore, "But there are still many more impossibly powerful forces out there that threaten the safety of our world, and so my fight against evil must continue on, only this time I'm no longer in this fight alone, I have friends I can turn to if I ever need their help, so until we meet again, keep up the good work Princess Twilight Sparkle".

Twilight is so moved by his valor that she sheds a tear, and right behind her is Celestia, who says to Twilight "I'm very proud of you, though you did disobey my orders, you followed what was in your heart, you never gave up even in the face of doubt, helped to defeat a mighty foe, and did something even I've never been able to do, you got Claymore to open his heart to the Magic of Friendship".

Then Twilight blushes and just says "Well, I just did what I had to do to get the job done(something she picked up from Claymore)".

"All the more reason why you are worthy of your title as the Princess of Friendship" says Celestia.

Then as the two of them are just standing there smiling at each other, we then hear Luna saying "Sister", then we see Luna coming over saying "Come on you two, you're missing out on all the fun", then the three of them return to the party.

And then the party gets kicked into overdrive when Vinyl Scratch a.k.a. DJ PON-3 starts unleashing the wubs and says (in a voice similar to Tara Strong's deep, raspy, yet feminine voice that she used for Raven of the Teen Titans)"Alright Everypony, time to Crank this Party up WAY Past Eleven, let's give it up for our heroes, the Elements O' Harmony!", we then see the Mane 6 + Spike on stage, then Vinyl magically tosses them some headset microphones.

Then the Mane 6 + Spike all start singing a song about the important things that they learned and taught in this movie(like never giving up, never stop trying, always keeping hope, believing in your friends, etc., etc.), and everypony is dancing around having a wonderful time, then from a far away shot of Ponyville, we see some magical-originated fireworks being launched into the sky, then we get an iris out directly on the Moon, and then the ending credits start to roll, we even hear the Mane 6's song continues on playing.

During the credits we see some CGI imagery of Claymore's swords, shurikens, and pieces of Armor, in the reflections of the CGI objects we see images of the characters in the movie, and some text right next to the objects showing their voice actors, we see images of the Main Characters who had speaking lines, including Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Claymore and Grogar, after which we then see Claymore's Chain stretch out from the bottom-right of the screen, and up to the top-right of the screen, where it goes off screen, then it drops down the top-left of the screen, and stretches down to the bottom-left of the screen, then from within the section of the screen that lies within the chain, we see a bright flash of light, then we see more ending credits rolling up within the chained section, and after every few end credit texts, we see a sheet of metal hooked onto the chain being pulled upwards, and in the reflection of the sheet of metal, we see an image of things that happened with our heroes & the twonicorns after the movie, after that image we see more texts from the credits, then we see another image in the reflection of a sheet of metal, then more texts, then another image, and so on, many of these images also include some of our favorite supporting characters & background ponies interacting with some twonicorns that they realize they have a lot in common with:
*such as Derpy having a conversation with a twonicorn mare who also loves muffins, and they're eating a platter full of muffins,
*and Dr. Hooves being shown a scientific/mathematics equation on a chalk board by a highly intelligent twonicorn stallion,
*and Golden Harvest, Rose, Lily & Daisy all receiving help with their gardens from a twonicorn mare who loves gardening, and she's levitating several gardening tools at once,
*and Lyra & Bonbon going out on a double date with a pair of handsome twonicorn stallions(naturally Lyra & Bonbon are sitting right next to each other in between their twonicorn dates, like any guys are going to come between those 2 mares),
*and Octavia enjoying a classical music session with a twonicorn mare who can use her magic to play an entire orchestra worth of musical instruments at one time,
*and Vinyl Scratch rockin' out with a twonicorn stallion who can really bust a move on the dance-floor,
*and the Ponyville Foals enjoying a giant slide being held up by the Magic of a bunch of twonicorn foals(with Spike having slided down to the bottom of the slide, Apple Bloom right behind him, Sweetie Belle right behind her, Scootaloo right behind her, Twist at the very top of the slide getting ready to go down, Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon being raised up to the top of the slide by the magic of the twonicorn foals),
*and Raindow Dash in a sky race against a twonicorn mare who's using her magic to fly like a beam of light,
*and Applejack receiving help from a twonicorn stallion using his magic to levitate tons of apples for the harvest,
*and Fluttershy receiving help from a twonicorn mare using her magic to levitate a bunch of spheres filled with birdseed to feed Fluttershy's many birds,
*and Rarity & a twonicorn mare both working on a new line of armor gowns, making sure that they're functional in the heat of a battle, but still fashionable enough to be worn like a formal attire,
*and Pinkie Pie receiving help from a twonicorn stallion with setting up for a party, the twonicorn stallion is even levitating Pinkie Pie up, so she can hang some decorations in a pretty high spot,
*and Twilight being taught some powerful new magic spells by an elderly twonicorn mare,
*and Luna fighting a rampaging hydra, with a twonicorn mare by her side,
*and Celestia in a conversation with the Twonicorns' Leader over tea & cake,
*and Cadence walking along side a tall twonicorn mare who is showing her a complex magical spell that acts like a complicated brain teaser,
*and Shining Armor who is being trained by a twonicorn stallion to learn the Twonicorns' fighting styles,
*and Claymore who is seen fighting the tentacles of some giant monster, with a pair of twonicorns at his aid,
*and an image of the Mane 6 plus Spike wearing their customized armors, which reveals that they kept those armors around just in case something else comes up,
*and an image of the Mane 6 plus Spike battling some strange shadowy creature while wearing their armors,
*and of course an image where the Mane 6, Spike, and a bunch of other characters throughout the MLP:FiM franchise, including some twonicorns, are all together enjoying another big party that Pinkie Pie decided to throw,
and after the movie credits finish, that would basically be THE END.
