The battle of rulers had begun.

Luna was the first to make a move showing off her physical might by sending Morpha through the air with a powerful physical blow.

Morpha immediately regained momentum and tasted the blood that seeped from her mouth.

'You'll pay for that!' The Changeling snarled.

"Let's see you try." Using her magic she summoned a shower of ice spheres raining down at Morpha who morphed into the form of a snake to dodge the shower of frost before changing back into her natural state. She began firing a series of magical bolts at Luna who took to the air and shielded herself from the blasts.

Morpha's wings began to beat as she took to the sky and began firing at Luna who took to the forests for cover. "Where are you, coward?" she called, as she began destroying patches of land in the forest.

The water of the nearby lake took the form of a tendril and lashed out at Morpha. Emerging from the water Luna twisted and flew under and past her, casting an electric spell which upon contact with the water electrocuted the Changeling Queen.

Morpha managed to shake off the pain quick enough so Luna's follow up blitx wouldn't catch her off guard. Firing a quick blast the princess of the night was blasted back and caught off guard. Ramming into her the two were sent for a one way trick plummeting to the ground.

The two of them locked eyes, glowering towards each other as they fell to the ground. The two of them locked eyes, glowering towards each other as they fell to the ground faster and faster.

Using her harnessed magic, Morpha hastily zapped Luna enough to free herself which gave them both enough time to remedy their stature and land on their hooves in the middle of the battleground.

"Soldiers attack Luna!" she commanded the nearby changelings.

"To the Princess's side!" roared out the voice of Aquaruis as the members of the guard moved to support their princess.

"Too much of a coward to face me on your own?" Luna taunted the now sneering Queen. The grin left her face as she heard the all too familiar roar of an Ursa many Kilometers away from the city. 'Now of all times?' she thought. She could not afford to draw this battle out.

She fired a series of magical bolts. Morpha managed to swat away the first few ones, but the follow up blast that Luna charged hit her like a train sending her crashing into the walls of surrounding buildings, but relinquished after a few times. Fear of her subjects getting caught in the blast and not wanting to leave the city while a rampaging Ursa was on its way had her fight in a more cautious matter.

Tis was the reason why such powerful guards or apprentices had been trained. So much power could be a burden as one midstep could bring an end to so many lives. Especially when who had a similar power had little consideration for those around them. The shockwave of power that caused both guards and changelings alike to be swept up in it was an indication of that as Luna used her magic to shield herself and the guards close to her position. 'What a pitiful existence. To serve a ruler with little consideration for their well-being. Let us hope they have a preservation instinct.'

The changelings under Morpha's command charged at her. Willing to leave themselves exposed to the guards.

As they lunged towards her Luna began channeling her power. Making her taller. Darkening her coat. Turning her eyes dragon-like. Shw took upon the fierce form that inspired many fears and legends. "Cease thy foolish endeavors or pay with your lives!" Drawing upon the memory and power of the living Nightmare Luna used the Changelings own power of emotions against them.

But something was wrong. It was as if her magic, her power was being drawn from her.

Luna let out a cry of pain as she felt the familiar pull of drawing magic.

This felt like.

This felt like…the Alicorn Amulet.

The dark form faded as Luna found herself blasted by not just one, but two beams of raw magic. The power of both blasts together was enough to get past her durability and blasted deep, drawing blood and singing flesh as she was blasted right back into the throne room.

Luna landed on the ground coughing up blood.

'Luna.' 'Luna!' "LUNA WATCH OUT!"

She barely heard her sister's voice as Morpha lunged and Luna just barely dodged the attack before she was blasted again by the blast. She skidded across the ground and her blurred image made out the form of the attacker.

Midnight had returned and she teemed with dark energy. "I should thank you Luna for returning what's rightfully mine." Midnight's voice echoed with the all too familiar twinge of the Nightmare.

"You!" Not again. The damned Nightmare would not seem to die.

"Did you not remember my words Luna? I will not die. I will never be a memory. I am eternal." Bringing up her hand she blocked a last ditched effort from Celestia. "Not dead yet. I suppose I should not be surprised. You've always been stubborn, but its over. Tonight Equestria shall fall." Nightmare was all to happy to fire a blast of energy at the Sun Goddess only at the last second another bolt of energy shot out from the entrance detonating it.

"So you're the ones I have to think for my incarceration."

"You!" Morpha hissed as she saw the form of Chrysalis and Pierella in the entryway.

"You've gone too far this time Hatchling! I know what you done!" Chrysalis hissed as her horn and eyes began to glow. "And its time I exterminate you."

"One bug will not make a difference. Just another soon to be husk once I drain your power!" The nightmare was about to attack when it sensed something and moved as a surge of magic shot towards her forcing her to erect a barrier, but it was blasted apart and she was knocked back.

"Do not be so quick to count me out!" Luna was back up to her hooves. Her magical aura practically exploded as her mane began to glow. "For too long have you threaten the sanctity of Equestria. For too long I have let you invoke fear in me and others. I will make you pay a hundred fold for your machinations used on me and all the crimes I committed in your name. You thought you understood my power when you possessed me? For what we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose. For I shall cut lose and show you the true depths of my power!"

and show you just how powerful I really am." Luna's hair began to luminate suggesting she was on the cusp of going into her ascended form.

"Pierella, get Celestia out of her and get her to a healer! It's time your aunt and I settle this score once and for all." Chrysalis ordered as Pierella nodded and went over to Celestia, helping her to her hooves.

The princesses shared a look and nodded. It would be up to Luna and Chrysalis to handle Morpha and the Nightmare until the Elements arrived to vanquish the dark entity once and for all.

With that the battle of rulers began.

---

A council consisting of the remaining generals and officers not involved in the battle had been gathered with the civilians in the safety bunker. Using the crystals the attacks were being coordinated.

Everypony who was not connected to the battle made of one of the many dozens of groups that were gathered. There was much arguing, accusations, cries, and whining going on.

Many of the ponies were wondering what was going to happen to them? There were those complaining about not being answered fast enough.

Stuffy nobles going on about their investments or homes and wanting to know the name and rank of soldiers who refused to answer those of their status.

Ponies alike, mainly the young were crying and frightened.

Despite the guards and members of the council during their best to keep the masses calm the sounds of the battle could still be heard.

"Thank you. Let us know if you should find out anything about her." Fley had finished telling one of the guards.

"Of course. This is the only way to properly thank you for your assistance. If it wasn't for your intervention, we would've lost many more lives in this catastrophe."

The small remnant of the Equestrian Military council were gathered at a make shift table trying to figure out the best way to figure out how to handle the situation.

"A breach in security, assassination attempts and executions of multiple officers, and an all-out war with another species. If this isn't a sign I'm getting too old for this I don't know what is." Dazzling remarked with a shake of her head.

"The situation looks grim Lady Do, but surely the Princesses won't fail…right?" One stallion from the council, a young new comer asked, unsure of the belief himself.

"This whole situation is a mess. I knew we shouldn't have trusted those…those insects." One disgruntled mare with what looked like a dyed mane job on the council remarked. Similar sentiments were shared with several ponies.

Most of them voicing their ire and distaste with the Changelings.

"What happened to those Elements? Aren't they supposed to be powerful?"

"Yeah why haven't they beaten the Changelings yet?"

"If they don't hurry up the entire city is going to be destroyed!"

'Ingrates!' Trixie thought as she looked around. There were those wrapped in their own little worlds and in the big picture the meaningless things like their material possessions and there were those who were scared and didn't know what to do.

All of them waiting to be saved or waiting for some pony or someponies else to fix everything.

'I-Its not like Trixie is strong or has great magic. She would just be in the way." She reasoned to herself.

"Mama, is…is Naruto going to be okay?" Dinky had been struggling to keep in the tears that threatened to fall. Everything had happened so quickly and shook her up quite a bit. From what she could gather Naruto and most of her 'aunties' so to speak were out their fighting.

"Of course he will muffin. He keeps his promises remember?"

"Y-Yeah. He…he promised he was going to be my papa so he has to come back." She said as she buried her face into her mother's bosom.

"That's right. He'll come back." She whispered with hush emotion and kissed her child's forehead.

"That's right Dinky so don't you worry. He…he isn't going to leave this family behind." Amethyst was struggling with her own emotions as well. 'Idiot don't die. Mom and Dinky needs you.'

Naruto, Twilight, and the girls. They were strong…no way they would lose right?

Trixie looked around, recognizing some of the ponies. The families of the bearers. It was hard not to notice the likeness. The fear and worry on their face at the fate of their loved ones was as clear as day.

They had to wait. Wait for news that their families would still be whole at the end of the day.

"Oh no…oh no…please Celestia no." One of the stallions monitoring crystals cried out drawing not only Trixie's attention, but the military leaders as well.

"An Ursa…there's a Ursa heading for the city and there's nopony available that can stop it! All of our forces are engaged!" His panic and hysterical cry began to cause a panic among the shelter attendees.

This shelter might have stood up against a lot of things but the might of an Ursa? The door to the shelter began to open as more civilians were about to be led in.

She couldn't simply do nothing. Not while all of her friends were out there doing nothing. Trixie charged for the shelter entrance her horn began to glow.

All the training. All the flexing of her power. Her craft was in illusions and bedazzling ponies.

So she was able to turn herself invisible and make her way past the guards.

She thought Twilight was just being overly optimistic but now she realized that even if her growth was only slight then maybe that slight could make a difference.

Having to live on the streets meant sometime have to flee. And having to flee meant, running, jumping, and climbing allowing Trixie able to easily scale to roof tops.

What she was about to do was going to be the stupidest thing of her life, but for once Trixie was going to put what power she had to use. To protect and save others instead of just using it for herself.
