A Strike on Warstrike

The land was covered by foggy yet misty fog. There was not a sign of life or building. A shadowy figure emerged from the mist. Ben... feared and concerned of his surroundings. He continued walking while looking around of his surroundings.

SPLASH! Ben stopped. He looked down and found watery blood. He gulped in concern as he looked up. He found more dead ponies lying down on the ground and the burning villages and destroyed buildings. His body shivered in fear and worry as he approached and moved to the front. All he saw was the death...

HISS! SCREECH! Ben gasped in fear as he turned and found the zombified and demonic Samurai Ponies-like. They hissed and screeched wildly like animals. Ben quickly galloped in fear. As quickly as he can he stopped his front, he found himself trapped by the bursting walls. He found three demonic armored Trolls-like. He turned and headed to the left. He was blocked by the muscular Cyclops-like Warriors with drilling sword, demonic ninjas and clawed demons. They all surrounded frightened and worried Ben.

"No! Stay away! Leave me alone!" Ben shouted in anger as he took his Master Sword out. He swung his sword at his enemies. They, armed with their weapons; continued approaching and ready to attack him. Before Ben could do anything, ninjas jumped and slammed Ben to the ground. Ben screamed in fear, "No! Let me out of here! Let me out of here!"

HISS! SCREECH! Samurai Demon Ponies grabbed and held Ben's four legs tightly. They screeched wildly and terrifyingly. Some of soldiers moved aside as they were giving way for their master... Kishin Akuma who was riding his demonic black dragon. He turned and glared at Ben.

Ben gasped, "No! Anyone but him! Anyone but Demon! Stay away from me! STAY AWAY!"

Kishin Akuma screeched wildly and demonically as his face underwent some changes in revealing four-pincers with a long serpent with demonic teeth-like. Ben screamed in fear.

Was it the end?!

"Ben?! Ben! BEN!" The voice shouted in concern.

---

"BEN! WAKE UP!" Twilight exclaimed in concern.

Ben gasped in shock as he woke from his sleep immediately. He panted in exhaustion and concern as he looked around of his surroundings: a wooden walled-chamber filled with small bed and chest, drawer. He found himself with Twilight, Nyx and Flash looking at him in concern and worry.

He sighed in concern, "It was a dream..."

"Kishin Akuma again?" Flash asked in concern.

Ben nodded his head, "Sorry for making you worry, guys."

Twilight sighed in concern, "I'm really worry about you, Ben. Ever since we've met that Grand Demon General for the first time, you'be been having nightmare lately.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it." Ben sighed, "Ever since I heard that story of him, I got scared for my life been taken by him. Mom keep on telling me that it's just a story... But it's so real now..."

Twilight approached and patted Ben's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, Ben. We're here with you to fight him."

"Yeah! If that Demon King thinks he can eat the children's blood, he got someone to deal with! And I'm one little princess no one wants to mess with," Nyx rhymed and rapped happily and confidently.

Ben chuckled a bit before patted on Nyx's mane, "Don't get cocky, Nyx. The Demon King is not an easy Demon General to deal with. We should be there by now?"

Twilight smiled, "Yes, Ben. We're already here. Come on."

Twilight, Ben, Nyx and Flash quickly left the wooden chamber. Exiting straight through the corridor doors, they went up the met up with Applejack, Phobos, Fluttershy and Sunset were standing neared to the edge of the ship. They approached and met up with their friends.

Twilight and her friends looked at the front as they found a land in front of them. They had arrived.

---

As soon as the ship reached its port, Twilight and her friends stepped down from the ship. They headed straight to the small village. They looked around of their surroundings. They found the happy and cheerful ponies walking around and across the area. Some enjoyed their Suweeds Sashimi. Some played the traditional games like catching gold fishes, spinning the tops, Japanese Chess, Hanafuda Cards, Sumo Pony Wrestling and more. Some bought some Japanese Souvenirs.

"Oh my gosh... I can't believe this," Sunset said happily, "I've always wanted to go to Japony Island. It's always been my dream."

Applejack smiled, "Well guess what, sugarcube? You've got it."

Fluttershy smiled, "Yes... I've always wanted to meet some fishes. I heard that Japonies are very fond of them as the Ma's Southern Ponies. I hope I can meet them soon."

Phobos sighed, "Finally... A long time vacation without some bothersome monsters to deal with!"

SCREAM! Twilight and her friends stopped at once as they saw hundreds of Japonies running away while screaming in fear like they were running away from something. They looked up. They found some zombified Samurai Ponies screeching and hissing as they were all charging to the battlefield.

Phobos groaned in annoyance, "Just great. Just what we need. More monsters to deal with!"

"Demons... They're Kishin Akuma's army! What the heck are they doing here?!" Appljeack asked in concern.

Ben groaned angrily as he took his Master Sword out, "Don't know. But we can't let them hurt our friends and innocent ponies!"

Twilight nodded, "Agreed. Everyone, we have to stop them!"

Twilight and her friends charged to the battlefield as they battled and fought against some of Dark Mystic Demon Soldiers. Twilight used her Unicorn Burst in blasting some of them while dodging and avoiding the attacks from them swiftly. Nyx; as in her Battle Form, dodged the attacks while firing her Night Shots at her enemies swiftly. Ben blocked and deflected the attacks from them before swinging his swords at them each time. Applejack punched and kicked her enemies off quickly and hard. Fluttershy used her Animal Potions in defeating and beating her enemies. Flash swung his Spear of Wind in slashing, spinning and striking his enemies down. Phobos launched his Moon Dragon Blaze at his enemies while dodging and avoiding the attacks quickly. Sunset deflected the attacks from her enemies with her War Fan while firing her Unicorn Bursts at them one-by-one.

As Twilight and her friends continued battling and attacking their enemies quick and hard, they heard the screeching noise. The Dark Mystic Demons stopped from attacking. The latter moved back slowly and cautiously as they were making way for someone. The ones who were coming through the corridor lines of Dark Mystic Demons were Warstrike the navy armored and scaled demonic pony with twin squid's tentacle-like and Terrorspike the handsome yet demonically brown Pegasus dressed in his crimson Samurai armor. They stopped in front of their enemies.

"Who the hay are you?!" Applejack demanded angrily.

"You work for Kishin Akuma?!" Sunset demanded as well.

Terrorspike smirked, "You're catching up, rookies. The name's Terrorspike. And the boss of mine is General Warstrike. And you must be the annoying brats that have been giving us some troubles. But not to the Dark Mystic Ponies."

"In case if you have forgotten..." Fluttershy said meekly, "You too have some problems with us before, if you don't mind saying it."

Warstrike nodded his head, "True... But that doesn't mean you actually have won the war. All of you did is inevitable..."

Ben groaned in anger, "Inevitable?! I'll show who really is inevitable, jerk!"

Ben took his Master Sword out as he charged straight at Warstrike. Ben continued swinging and striking his sword at Warstrike who dodged and avoided them quickly for few times. As Ben was about to slam his sword on Warstrike, the latter grabbed it before launched his Force Push on Ben in hitting straight on his friends to the ground.

Ben groaned and moaned painfully as he struggle to get up. Twilight and her friends groaned in anger. They charged straight at Warstrike. Twilight jumped and slammed her Starblade on him. He moved to his left before giving her a kick on her stomach and then punching her for 5 times. He swung Twilight right at Applejack for ten times. He slammed Twilight on Applejack to the ground hard.

Before Fluttershy, Nyx and Phobos could do anything; Warstrike launched his Force Push at them straight to the walls hard. Flash charged in and thrust his Spear of Wind at Warstrike for few times. Warstrike dodged them before punched on Flash's face hard. Sunset was about to fire her Unicorn Burst but Warstrike jumped and hovered over before slammed her to the ground hard.

Twilight and her friends moaned painfully as they struggled in getting up. Before they could do anything, Dark Mystic Demons charged straight at them. They screamed in fear as they held each other or held on the ground tightly.

BOOM! Dark Mystic Demons were thrown away from Twilight and her friends. Both Warstrike and Terrorspike looked shock yet firm and calm while looking at the front.

Twilight and her friends stopped from hugging or holding the ground. They looked up and found a light crimson Earth Pony with blackish spiky mane with short ponytail dressed in his Samurai Armor and his Cutie Mark was a crimson spear with Sanada Symbol. He took his katana out as he was readied to fight,

Dark Mystic Demons screeched wildly as they all charged straight at the mysterious warrior. The warrior cried as he charged straight at his enemies. Before they could swung their weapons, he gave them a swung blade one-by-one. He jumped and kicked on their heads one-by-one. He then kicked on the Vanguard's head to the ground hard. The third wave charged in. The warrior cried angrily as he disappeared from their sights.

SLASH! SCREECH! Dark Mystic Demons screeched painfully as their bodies spilled the blood out before falling to the ground. The warrior emerged from his disappearance before sheathed his katana.

"Leave... now..." The warrior spoke firmly.

Terrorspike growled in anger as he was about to use his Twin Demon Spears. Warstrike held his hoof up while turned to the former. The latter gave the former a shook of his head. Terrorspike growled in anger as he nodded his head.

Warstrike and his minions turned and immediately left the battlefield at once.

Twilight and her friends slowly got up and met up with the mysterious warrior. The latter turned and looked at his new-found friends.

"Greetings, Heroes from the West," the warrior greeted calmly, "My name is Yukimura Seigi. I hope the fight with the Demons had wound and exhaust you much."

Twilight shook her head, "Not at all, Master Yukimura. We're fine."

Twilight and her friends introduced to Yukimura Seigi. The latter gasped in shock and surprised as he bowed before Twilight and her friends.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends... I'm most honored to meet you here. Welcome to Japony," Yukimura greeted.

Twilight giggled a bit, "No need to bow before me. It's not very necessary."

"As the warrior, I must," Yukimura smiled as he got up, "Perhaps I could give you and your friends some a tour. After that, we returned to the Meiji Castle."

Phobos smirked, "Anything better than fighting with those monsters... I'm beat!"

Everyone chuckled and giggled of what Phobos had said. Yukimura Seigi then led Twilight and her friends on the tour of Japony area: mostly Tokyo area...

---

After a long tour travelling across the Tokyo, they arrived at the Meiji Castle. Twilight and her friends were at the garden's side. They were all eating their Suweeds. They were hungry and tired. Yukimura approached and came to them.

"I trust you find Japony... interesting place to tour?" Yukimura asked calmly.

Twilight nodded her head, "Yes... It's very interesting place I must say. I've always wanted to come to this face."

"You said it, partner. You ponies made a great seafood," Applejack commented happily.

Fluttershy smiled, "Why yes... The foods, the place and the animals... They're nice."

"I'm just glad we found a time to get here," Sunset commented.

Yukimura smiled, "I'm glad you did." He looked up and found a silver Unicorn with blackish mane in ponytail with pink ribbon dressed in her bluish kimono and her Cutie Mark was Sakura Blossom, Bow and Arrow came to the scene from the bridge. She approached to him. He introduced her to them, "Everyone... This is my beloved wife: Ina Seigi. She is the daughter of Wartiger Armor."

Ben yelped before spitted some foods out on Flash's face. Flash groaned in annoyance and glared at Ben who chuckled uneasily. Ben turned and looked at Yukimura and Ina.

"Ina is the legendary and powerful Tokugawa General's daughter?! Are you serious?!" Ben asked in shock and surprise.

Ina giggled in amusement, "Of course, I'm serious. And it is an honor to meet Princess, Prince and Heroines of Equestria to set hoof on Japony. We're honored."

Twilight smiled, "No biggie. We're just glad to find a day for us to relax. Can't say for the rest."

"Can't be done, Twi. Pinkie's busy for her Parties, Rarity's at Manehattan for designing her dresses. And Rainbow Dash's at Wonderbolt Academy. And for Spike... He and Lorcan went to their grandfather for a visit," Ben explained calmly.

Nyx sighed, "But I wish they're here. At least Spike is more fun than Phobos."

"Hey! Is that an insult?!" Phobos asked angrily.

"Well... Whenever I asked you to play with me, you answered me that you're too tired, want to sleep, hungry and complaining. You're no fun!"

"What am I supposed to do?! I can't help it!"

Nyx sighed in annoyance, "You're hopeless. I don't even know why I kept you as my pet!"

"As if! I don't even know why you and I are friends! You're just an annoying brat, Nightmare Moon!" Phobos remarked.

Nyx groaned in annoyance, "Don't you dare call me that, jerk!"

Nyx pounced on Phobos to the ground as they both battled and fought with each other hard and quick for few times. Twilight and her friends quickly helped in stopping Nyx and Phobos from fighting with each other. Twilight, Ben and Fluttershy held Nyx while Flash, Sunset and Applejack held Phobos.

"That's enough," Twilight said firmly.

Fluttershy nodded, "Yes. Nyx and Phobos, both of you are friends. You shouldn't let a little things get to you."

"Well, guess what?" Phobos huffed angrily, "This little brat did make a mess!"

Nyx groaned in annoyance, "You're no fun, and a jerk too! At least, I have someone to play with. Spike and Cutie Mark Crusaders are better than you are. I don't need you, you stupid fat and lazy dragon!"

"I don't need you too, stupid random and annoying brat!" Phobos exclaimed in anger.

Nyx galloped at once. Twilight and her friends but Phobos left and follow her. Ina looked worry as she follow them as well.

Phobos groaned in annoyance, "Who does that brat thinks she is?! I'm a dragon, not a servant! I'd prefer to have some vacation! Is that so much to ask?!"

Yukimura cleared his throat, "Perhaps I can be assist on your needing. I know the perfect place for you to relax."

"Really?" Phobos cleared his throat, "Maybe not... I think I should wait for others. It's not a good idea to leave without them."

"Don't worry, Phobos. It won't be long, I promise," Yukimura smiled.

Phobos thought for the moment before he smiled, "Alright, then. Lead the way, samurai pony."

Yukimura nodded his head as he took Phobos out for the location Phobos to stay and rest for the moment...

---

At the demonic Japanese Gifu Castle-like with the large bat wings-like on its back, Yukimura and Phobos had arrived at the area. Dark Mystic Demons lined and stood on both sides. They screeched and growled wildly and angrily at them both.

"You sure we go the right place?" Phobos asked in concern, "Coz I think I regret it now."

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Trust me," Yukimura said calmly.

Phobos mumbled in concern as he and Yukimura approached and appeared before Lady Viper the black and white demonic Unicorn with long brown mane and tail in ponytail and her Cutie Mark was demonic butterfly dressed in black demonic kimono, Warstrike and Longblade stood before them. On the far left side was the teenage light purple Earth Pony with short black mane and tail in small ponytail and his Cutie Mark was a fan and sword.

Yukimura and Phobos stood before them. Yukimura spoke, "I did what I asked. Let Prince Hidetada and return the Tiger Spear to me!"

Lady Viper smirked darkly, "As you wish, young one. You did what I requested. Lord Kishin Akuma shall return both the Prince and your spear to you."

Warstrike passed the Tiger Spear while Longblade moved Prince Hidetada to Yukimura. Longblade picked the screaming frightened Phobos up.

"What the hay is going on?!" Phobos screamed in fear.

Lady Viper smiled, "Don't ever come back, Seigi... The last thing you want is to be gain more embarrassment."

Yukimura Seigi hissed in anger as he turned and walked away along with Prince Hidetada. Phobos screamed for help. Three Dark Mystic Demons turned and entered the castle at once. What will happen to Phobos?

---

Within the Dining Chamber, Phobos was alone sitting on his dining chair before the table. He was drooling as he looked at some sweet cakes and gems. He screamed wildly and happily. He jumped up and ate them at once like a wild boar eating his foods. For a moment, he had his food finished before giving a loud burp...

Longblade chuckled calmly as he and Warstrike stood before Phobos, "I hope you find the foods... satisfying?"

Phobos smiled, "The best... Didn't know you and your pals were kind to me?"

"We just do what we can to entertain the guests. More will please you perhaps?" Longblade smirked.

Dark Mystic Demons brought more plates of gems and foods for Phobos. He screamed in please as he quickly took a bite on them as quickly as he can. Both Longblade and Warstrike smirked as they turned away.

"The master will be pleased with his latest 'guest'." Warstrike smirked.

Longblade nodded his head, "Indeed. That dragon has no idea of what he was doing. Everything is going exactly what we need..."

As Longblade and Warstrike left the chamber, Phobos continued eating his foods...

---

At Meiji Castle, Twilight and her friends were looking around of the castle. They were searching and finding Phobos. They had not seen him since the afternoon and the argument Nyx had with him...

"Where is he? He couldn't have gone that far..." Applejack said in concern.

Fluttershy nodded her head, "Yes... He can be selfish and lazy, but he would never left without us. I'm worry..."

Nyx huffed, "I'm not. He's totally jerk and selfish! Why should I?!"

"Nyx... Don't you think... it's a bit of overdoing? He's your friend," Sunset said in concern.

Flash nodded his head, "Yeah... I know you and Phobos had a rough time to agree on something. But in the end, you've always be there for each other no matter what."

Nyx thought for the moment before sighed, "I guess you're right. I kinda overreacted..."

"As soon as we find Phobos, you'll apologize to him." Twilight said calmly.

Ben nodded his head, "Where could he have gone to?"

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Ina's voice asked angrily.

"I think we found the answer..." Applejack said suspiciously.

Twilight and her friends turned and entered the Castle in finding out of what was going on...

---

At the Meiji Throne Chamber, Yukimura and Hidetada explained the situation to their friends on what had happen to Phobos.

"How could you do such a thing?!" Twilight asked in shock.

Nyx sobbed, "He's my friend. Why?"

Yukimura sighed as he bowed down. He was about to explain but Hidetada spoke, "It wasn't his fault. It was mine..." Everyone looked at him. He continued, "We were on our way back to Meiji Castle from Volcano Island. But blocked by our enemies. I told General Yukimura to challenge Warstrike and Longblade. I was very confident that Yukimura can handle everything since he was trained by the mighty Wartiger. But at the end... he lost the fight."

Yukimura nodded, "Not only that, I've lost courage and confident."

Ben shook his head, "Yukimura. Just because you may have lost one fight, doesn't mean you have to give up."

Yukimura sighed, "Sorry... I wish I have the optimism like yours. To regain the Prince and my spear back, I have to trade a dragon to them."

"By bringing Phobos to them?!" Fluttershy said in shock.

"Why would they need him?" Sunset asked in concern.

As everyone gave some thoughts, they then gasped in shock and concern. They knew the answer of what the Dark Mystic Ponies wanted...

---

At the Kitchen, Phobos was lying on the pot of brownish water. He sighed happily as he found himself a relaxing place to rest. His body stomach became bigger and fatter. He turned and found Longblade entered the kitchen.

"So, did you enjoy your staying?" Longblade asked curiously.

Phobos sighed, "You have no idea of how happy I am... This is life... I will never ever leave this place..."

Longblade smirked, "Good to hear. You're ready for the Lao Meng Lone Soup..."

"You're making a soup?"

Longblade chuckled evilly as the Dark Mystic Demon Chef with four demonic legs came out with his knives. He sharpened his knives.

"In matter of speaking, yes..." Longblade smirked. He turned to the chef, "Put his misery out now. The Master is awaiting for your latest dish of Dragon Blood."

"Wait?! WHAT?!" Phobos exclaimed in shock.

Longblade opened the cupboards and revealed the cans of all Dragon Soups. Phobos was in shock and feared. The chef chuckled evilly and darkly.

"Oh... Shit..." Phobos screamed wildly and girly.

---

Arriving at the Gifu Castle, the area was guarded well by more of Dark Mystic Demon Soldiers, Vanguards and Demon Trolls. They didn't want any more intruders or unwanted guests in their areas. Twilight and her friends sneaked all the way back of Gifu Castle as they found the back door. They entered the area as they looked around in search of Phobos.

As they continued their search, they found the whole castle and area... disturbing... The castle was filled and surrounded by disgusted yet slimy and sticky walls like bee's hive. And not to mention, the walls had the frames and illustration of demons, hunting the mortals, eating them, slaughtering and murdering them and even the children and dragons.

Upon looking at the latest picture, Twilight and her friends saw Kishin Akuma was drinking the blood of drinks while holding the innocent human child's skull, and sitting on the throne chair of all skulls.

Nyx gulped, "I can see why you're afraid of that boogiepony. He really is one. I hope don't get to meet him again."

"Glad to have someone agreed with me," Ben said in concern.

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Sunset asked in concern, "I had the feeling we're going the wrong way."

Flash sighed, "That's what I'm worry the most."

"Oh... I hope we don't bump into the kitchen..." Fluttershy said in concern.

TAP! Twilight and her friends screamed in fear as they fell right on the floor trap. They continued screaming in fear before fell on the ground hard. Applejack first, followed by Fluttershy, Flash, Sunset, Twilight, Ben and then Nyx. They moaned and groaned painfully before they looked up and found themselves trapped at the kitchen.

Applejack sighed in annoyance, "Next time, Fluttershy. Don't say something we don't even want to know..."

"HELP!" Phobos screamed in fear.

Nyx gasped, "Phobos!"

Twilight and her friends got up from the ground as they headed off straight to the Lao Meng Lone Chamber where they found the Demon Chef tried to stab and pierce at Phobos who struggled and moved around and away from him.

Before the chef could do anything, Ben jumped up and pierced his Master Sword on the head of Demon Chef. Nyx helped and brought Phobos down.

Nyx hugged Phobos, "Phobos! You're okay!"

"OKAY?!" Phobos exclaimed in shock, "I was gonna get eaten alive! AM I OKAY?!"

BANG! The whole chamber was moving. Twilight and her friends held each other tightly as they were being pulled up to the top. They found themselves in front of Kishin Akuma, Lady Viper and his Generals of Akuma Clan.

"Kishin Akuma..." Twilight said angrily.

Kishin smirked, "Twilight Sparkle and her friends, along with the weakling and cowardly prince..."
Ben groaned in anger. Demon King smirked, "Oh my... Did I hurt your pride, boy? I hope you were not offended much..."

"Well... Guess what? I'm gonna prove to you that I'm not afraid!" Ben exclaimed.

Longblade cried wildly as he jumped to the front. He unsheathed his twin swords out. Warstrike slowly came out from the top as he summoned his curved sword.

"I hope you're up to the challenge," Warstrike said darkly.

Longblade smirked, "Indeed... Prepare to die, insects!"

Warstrike and Longblade charged in. Twilight and her friends armed themselves in ready to fight with their enemies. Warstrike jumped up high as he slammed his sword on the ground hard. Twilight and her friends dodged and avoided the attacks quickly.

Applejack whipped her Mind Whiplash at Warstrike. He blocked with his right hand in pulling her to him. He slammed her to the ground hard before kicked her face hard. Fluttershy charged in as she gave him a 'Stare'. He then gave hers his 'Stare'. As both of them continued glaring at each other, he quickly use his Force Push on her to the walls hard. Twilight charged in as she fired her Unicorn Bursts at Warstrike. He dodged and avoided the attacks quickly while charging at her. Before she could use her sword, he slammed his hoof on the ground in shaking and throwing her off to the wall's hard.

Longblade charged in as he swung his swords at both Ben and Flash who blocked and avoided them quick. Longblade stroke his blade at Flash's while attacked on Ben. Flash launched his Hidden Blade on top of Longblade. Longblade dodged down before swiped at Ben's legs before kicked Flash off. Ben got up and stroke his Hidden Blade at Longblade who grabbed the former's before punched on his head for few times. Flash charged in and struck his Spear of Wind at Longblade's back. Longblade grabbed the spear before spun two of them around for five times. He then thrown both to the walls hard.

Nyx charged in as she launched her Night Shots at Warstrike and Longblade. They both blocked and deflected the shots quickly at her. Nyx dodged and avoided the deflective shots. As she looked, they jumped up and punched her to the ground hard. Longblade jumped up and stabbed on her stomach hard.

Warstrike and Longblade thrown the defeated Twilight and her friends to the wall hard.

Kishin Akuma smirked, "It looks like I have another soup of these mortals: Soup of Elements... I've been waiting for this for some times..."

"I wouldn't celebrate just yet..." The firm yet heroic voice spoke. Everyone turned and found Yukimura Seigi and armored Ina wielded her bow and arrow. Twilight and her friends cheered happily for seeing their allies had arrived. He spoke, "Kishin Akuma... I have come to challenge you for their freedom!"

Kishin Akuma remained calm and firm while sitting on his throne chair. He turned to both Warstrike and Longblade. He gave them a nod.

Longblade chuckled evilly, "We accept, Seigi. But if you lose, all of you are ours to command."

"Your wife will be your partner to fight?" Warstrike asked curiously.

Ina shook her head, "No... Ben will."

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock and concern.

Yukimura nodded, "I agreed. Ben will be my partner. He can do it."

Ben thought for the moment before he sighed, "Alright."

Ina nodded her head in agreement. She approached and looked after Twilight and her friends. Ben headed to Yukimura Seigi. They both wielded their Tiger Spear and Master Sword as they readied to fight with their enemies.

Yukimura and Ben charged in as they both swung their weapons at the dodging and avoiding Warstrike and Longblade. The latter swung theirs back. Both sides fought and battled against each other hard and quick for few times. Twilight and her friends cheered for their friends while most of Dark Mystic Demons cheered and cried wildly for their generals.

Yukimura swung his Tiger Spear at Warstrike who quickly blocked the first stroke before second to fourth times before the latter punched on the former's face hard. Warstrike then quickly unleashed his Force Push on Yukimura. Longblade and Ben battled each other quick and hard for few times. Ben thrust his sword at Longblade who blocked and grasped it in x-forms. Longblade thrown Ben right at Yukimura to the ground.

Warstrike then launched his Demon Curse Beams at Ben and Yukimura. Ben quickly used his Hylian Shield in holding the attacks for the moment. As the beam continued piercing and striking at the shield, Yukimura threw his spear at Warstrike's chest hard.

Ben charged in and attacked Longblade who blocked and deflected the attacks. For the moment had passed, Longblade struck his blades at Ben's head but the latter rolled to the front and kicked the former off.

Yukimura charged in as he took the spear out before he and Warstrike battled and fought against with each other for few times. They then clashed their weapons at each other for the moment. Ben readied to attack Longblade. Longblad jumped and pounced on Ben who dodged down, allowing the former struck on Warstrike on going down the ground hard.

Both Warstrike and Longblade got up as they readied to attack. They charged right at both Yukimura and Ben as they battled and clashed at each other for few times. While they clashing and battling with each other, their allies and comrades cheered wildly for them. Kishin Akuma witnessed the battlefield as he watched how strong and determined Ben had shown when battling with Longblade.

Longblade charged right at Ben who quickly hovered over. He turned and thrown his Gale Boomerang at the former before using his Hero Bow and some Arrows in defeating Longblade. Longblade deflected and destroyed most of the arrows. Before he could do anything, Ben slammed his Hylian Shield on Longblade on the ground hard. He hovered right before Yukimura.

Yukimura grabbed Ben's hooves as the former spun around for three times. Yukimura thrown Ben right at Warstrike who was about to slam his sword at his enemies. Ben launched his Claw Shot on Warstrike's face before being pulled and kicked on Warstrike's stomach to the walls hard.

Before Ben could do anything, Warstrike launched his Destroyer Ball on Ben's body hard while Longblade launched his powerful Demon Curse Slash at Yukimura's body. Both heroes got pushed by their enemies' powerful attacks and knocked each other's back. Before the heroes could do anything, Warstrike and Longblade pierced and thrust their blades on the heroes' stomachs hard for the long moment. Both Ben and Yukimura quickly kicked their enemies off before they got up. They panted in tiredness and exhaustion from the fight.

"We're getting exhausting... No way we can beat them..." Ben said in concern.

Yukimura sighed calmly while having his eyes narrowed in determination, "That leaves us one thing to do. Ben, I want you to unleash your Triforce Spiritual Rise. Combine it with mine and we can beat them."

"Wait-! What?! What do you mean?!"

"Trust me!"

As Warstrike and Longblade charged in, Ben quickly meditated as his body glowed in golden. Yukimura touched his hoof on the ground as his body too glowed in crimson and brown mix. As Ben launched his Triforce Spiritual Rise out, Yukimura cried as he punched on the ground hard for few times in summoning thousands large rocks and boulders. Triforce Spiritual Rise stroke on Yukimura before the latter launched and fired thousands of rocks and boulders called Thousand Rock Thrower at Warstrike and Longblade.

Warstrike and Longblade swung and stroke their blades against the thousand rocks and boulders. As they continued, Yukimura appeared before them both. He swung his Hardened Spear at them both hard. Ben jumped and fired his Triforce Beam Blast at them both straight before their master's hooves. The duel was over...

Twilight and her friends sighed in relief as they came and commented happily to Ben and Yukimura Seigi. Before they could do anything, they encountered more of Dark Mystic Demons surrounded them. The Demons armed with their weapons to attack and finish Twilight and her friends off.

Kishin Akuma stood up, "Enough... I've given a word. They're free to leave."

Twilight and her friends sighed in relief. They all nodded their heads in agreement. They turned and quickly left the throne chamber.

Warstrike and Longblade turned and bowed before their master. They apologized to their master.

Kishin Akuma smirked, "They won't be any punishment. We have what we need to. Now... I know why Dark Curse has interest on that fool. He will be ours. And the truth will make him join us."

---

As Twilight and her friends left the Gifu Castle, they were heading straight to another town. They chatted as well.

"Phobos... I just want to say... I'm sorry of what I had said to you. It was very rude of me," Nyx said.

Phobos nodded his head, "Apology accepted. You know what?" He looked at his stomach, "I could use some exercise. I make no promise if I can do well on it."

Nyx giggled, "Okay..."

"Yukimura... Was that-?!" Twilight asked in shock.

Applejack nodded, "Yeah... What you did back there - Element of Earth?"

Sunset whistled, "Whoa... We're getting more Elements Wielders to help us. This is getting better."

Fluttershy nodded, "It's nice."

Yukimura nodded his head, "Sorry for not telling you about it. Master Wartiger decided to give his Element of Earth to me since I was worthy enough to be a warrior and wed Ina."

Ina nodded her head, "Yes... What Yukimura had said is true. And we thank you for helping Yukimura to regain his courage."
