Rare Apple was the first to attack. Her initial attack blocked by mecha Applejack. She jumped back as mecha Rarity fired an attack that exploded behind the ever-calm fusion. Rare Apple launched forward and struck mecha Rarity sending her flying back.
It didn't take her long to demonstrate just how different in the level of powers they had now.
Mecha Applejack charged, Rare Apple dodged with practically no effort, then easily gripped the machine by both wrists and flipped her end-over-end out down the area.
Rare Apple took time began baiting the mechanical monstrosities away. Drawing the metal doppelgangers away from the infrastructure Rare Apple went on the attack. Using her ribbon Rare Apple snagged the leg of mecha Applejack and yanked her forwards and launched forward and landed a solid kick with causing a crack into the side of the mechanized being.
Rare Apple spun and dodged the laser fire of the mecha Rarity who went in using her rapier. Rare Apple made a mockery of the larger warrior, sidestepping slashes and stabs while dancing out of the way with ease.
Rarity's skill, precision, and grace with Applejack's strength and endurance made the fused mare rather deadly.
Mecha Rarity aimed her horn as her eyes began to glow. Suddenly, spheres of energy erupted into a white-hot sphere.
There was a blinding flash, and plasma erupted from under the mare's feet. A circle of plasma spread out across the ring, engulfing her almost instantly.
"Target eliminated!" The mechanical unit announced.
"Don't be so sure of yourself sugar." Rare Apple stated as the residue began to fade. "It's time I stop playing around and end this." The crystal cage that she used to shield herself receded.
Since she had been formed Rare had been studying the structure of their bodies and fighting style.
Rare Apple charged forward and began channeling her magic into her rapier. She then charged forward at the two machines that charged her as well. 'Its as if they can only win in situations where the gulf of power is vast or relying on knowledge they have on whoever they're fighting.' With a mighty battle cry Rare Apple slashes cut through the two mechanical units with blinding speed. Both units collapsed and Rare Apple gave a glance as electricity began sparking from the severed machine as their core began to glow. Rare Apple moved out of the way as the cores of the machines detonated resulting in two explosions sending debris flying with loud blinding flashes before leaving behind two craters.
Rainbow Pie stared down her two enemies with a smile.
Meach Rainbow charged straight ahead with a sloppy downward punch while Mecha Pinkie shot behind Rainbow Pie and tried to knee her into the back.
Without flinching, Rainbow Pie vanished from sight, causing the two units to hit each other rather than Rainbow Pie causing enough damage to cause visible damage to their shells.
Rainbow Pie appeared above them, twin cannons under her arms fired into them using gray clouds as ammo. The two clouds slammed into them letting out a billion bolts of electricity heavily charring their shell and compromising the integrity of the units.
"Come on, play time is not over yet." Rainbow Pie began descending to the ground towards them.
Mecha Rainbow recovered and began using a form of arts all too familiar to half the component of Rainbow Pie.
Using all the might the mecha unit could muster it charged forward as its wings severing the structure that was behing the fused mare who disappeared once more near instantly.
Putting up her hand to block Mecha Pinkie down strike Rainbow Pie only laughed.
"Come on. You can do better." She threw the hand away. Rainbow Pie turned around and folded her arms. "Take your best shot." Rainbow taunted as she proceeded to dodge the incoming punches and kicks, he grew quickly bored.
Continuing to dodge the mech's attack, Rainbow Pie was getting in strikes every so often. Every hit or punch caused a growing dent into the monstrosity.
"This is starting to get dull." Rainbow Pie murmured as she caught the machine's arm's and yanked it down going into a dive. With a mighty hurl she tossed the pink doppelganger into Mecha rainbow who was flying upwards with it's wings extended.
The copy of Pinkie hit with enough force and at the right angle for its head to be severed.
Proving to be every bit of the soulless machine that it was mecha Rainbow continued its attack not paying a single moment of worry or consideration for its compatriot.
Rainbow Pie let mecha Rainbow get close enough so she could maneuver out of the way and grab onto the machine. Slapping an explosive tag onto the machine's back the fusion merely uttered the word 'boom' before flying out of there letting the mechanical unit to be enveloped by the powerful explosion.
Flutter Sparkle used her shield to block the blasts from Mecha Twilight and began firing back blasts of her own.
Flutter Sparkle retaliated but both mecha dodged the blast. Mecha Fluttershy appeared behind her and began firing tiny pin missiles from her finger tips at Flutter Sparkle.
Using her shield the fusion blocked the attack. Moving one of her hands and gathering magic she fired a magical blast forcing the mechanical unit to dodge by flying up. From above, Mecha Twilight fired a beam at Flutter Sparkle who focused her gaze on the attack. Clenching her fist and gathering magic she punched the beam dead on, redirecting it back at Mecha Fluttershy.
Mecha Fluttershy prepared to block the attack with its barrier but Flutter Sparkle teleported behind it.
Blasting her she caused the mechanical unit to collide with the deadly attack causing it to explode.
Flutter Sparkle then turned her attention to the other copy. Her horn brimming with power. She gave no time for the doppelganger to retrieve and fired, the mechanical copy taking the full explosive force of the fusion's blast, arcing backward to the ground below. Flutter Sparkle waited for the machine to recover.
The ground beneath began to shake as the machine blasted the rubble off its body.
The machine began to glow as it began generating as much power as it body could hold. It began forming a sphere of energy that grew larger and larger.
Flutter Sparkle realized what the thing was about to do so she manifested a bow. Taking aim she focused her magic into the form of a bow and let it fly. The arrow lodged itself into the chest of the machine interrupting its process. Fluttersparkle then teleported behind her and aimed her horn at the back of its head. With one final blast she evaporated the head of the machine before grabbing its torso with her magic and hurtling it up into the sky and hitting it with another devastating wave of magic blasting the body into pieces and detonating its core far away from the city where it could do damage.
Flutter Sparkle began descended to the ground where Rare Apple was standing their patiently enjoying a spot of tea.
"Rare Apple I am glad to see you're okay! Where's..." Flutter Sparkle was cut off when Rainbow Pie landed on her shoulders nearly causing the poor mare to face plant into the ground. "Nevermind."
"Come on girls! Let's go kick that Metal Freak's ass!" Rainbow Pie said with an enthusiastic cheer.
"Settle down honey! Don't get so excited you lose focus!" Rare Apple lightly chided her. "Flutter Sparkle there there are only a few places the Metal Overlord could be. It will be faster checking with your teleportation!" She said grasping onto her shoulder.
Giving a nod Flutter Sparkle began gathering up her magic,"Hang on!" With a flash the three of them teleported.
The seven Elements floated above him as he continued trying to invoke their power, but to no luck.
Despite his knowledge on their connection and how to harness their power he still couldn't trigger them as of yet.
And considering he just heard the familiar sound of teleportation it looked like what he was doing was going to be put on hold. He turned only to be faced down by three unfamiliar figures.
Who in Equestria were they? More Alicorns but how? No wait...they weren't natural alicorns they were...
Next thing he knew he was being charged.
Rare Apple charged, instantly trying to overwhelm the Overlord keeping his attention away from her compatriots.
Rainbow Pie took advantage of the opportunity, kicking the Overlord in the side of the head, nearly snapping the being's neck. He crashed violently into the ground below, grasping at anything to try and slow his path through the chamber.
Of all the things he could have expected this was not something he accounted for.
The Overlord barely picked himself up when he felt a blast of magical power.
"This was an impressive idea, but I will not lose. Even against you girls."
The Overlord proceeded to wipe the dust off him.
"You brought this upon yourself Overlord. Still is your last chance, surrender." Flutter Sparkle ordered him as the overlord merely stared them down.
"No, one day you'll come to understand why I'm doing this. Not even you six will get in my way."
Flutter Sparkle taunt came in the form of a concussive blast that sent the overlord crashing into the wall with enough force to cause cracks to form throughout the entire wall.
The Overlord seemed to struggle to stand. He was done for, the three of them concluded. Yet suddenly, the invader began to chuckle again. Soon, it grew into a full out laugh. "Hehe, Hahahaha!"
The fusions crossed their arms, awaiting an explanation for their opponent's hysterics.
"Even with this kind of strength, it wouldn't have changed anything. What could you do against a monster that could influence anything at a whim? So now its time I end this farce! After this, stay down and let me do what I need to do!" The overlord bore his blade as the four gems on them began to glow.
The trio of fusions threw up their arms to shield themselves from the intensity and that's when he struck.
The Overlord dashed quickly, his armored fist pulling back for a left hook. His first target was Rainbow Pie who was fully prepared for the blow's speed, but not for its strength. Rainbow Pie crossed her forearms in front of her face just before the impact launched her across the room, crashing through the wall and sending her flying outside.
Rare Apple and Flutter Sparkle called out to their companion. In that brief moment the Overlord used the one handed blade to hurl a slash of power comprised of energy from the red gem at Rare Apple blasting her out of the hole.
Flutter Sparkle flew out of the hole and used her magic to grab the only one of the trio who couldn't fly, but the Overlord continued his offensive assault.
Before Flutter Sparkle could react the invader was upon her, this time rushing her from above with an incredibly powerful right kick. Flutter Sparkle barely dodged out of the way, flapping her wings she put distance between them. The landing from the attack destroyed a section of the garden.
Setting Rare Apple down Flutter Sparkle began casting spells at the ground in an attempt to turn it into marsh in an attempt to slow down her opponent, but he proved unfettered.
With a mighty overhead swing, power burst out of the blade, blasting apart the marsh land, sending it flying sideways as he charged forth. Before he could reach her Rare Apple slipped between them and launched a powerful kick.
His Blade and Rare Apple boots collided.
Their inertia mutually negated, they both countered with counter clockwise strikes once more negating any advantage either tried to get.
Both fighters pushed forward with all their will, each frustrated by the other's strength. Flutter Sparkle blasted at the Overlord only for him to deflect the spell with his blade at Rare Apple who fired her own bolt of magic to detonate the attack.
The brief explosion that had threatened to envelop them was too slow to catch either fighter who maneuvered away from the danger.
Flutter Sparkle realized it was time to change from concussive blasts to destructive blasts. The thick shell that was his armor was absorbing the brunt of their attacks.
The Overlord soon felt himself being hit by a series of small but fast destructive blasts. It was only after a few he realized the seriousness of the situation. Twilight had mixed in a spell that was used for breaking down objects into their base materials. While his armored was crafted to fight against magical attacks their was a limit to how much he could take.
With one of the gems glowing the Overlord began calling out to the desecrated remains of his creations. The shattered pieces of the robots heeded their master's calls and began soaring through the air, and began flying at the mares at full speed.
The attack took quite a bit of concentration, but not enough that he completely dropped his guard. Throwing up his arm he blocked Rainbow Pie's attempt at a surprise flying kick, responding with his own rapid kick that the mare just barely avoided. Furious, the mare backed up and unsheathed her blades and slashed at him, but proved ineffectual against his armor as a resounding clang filled the area.
"Stop being so damn stubborn and stay down!" he screamed as he launched a punch aimed at her midsection.
The mare narrowly dodged at the Overlord launched a flurry of punches at Rainbow Pie's face and torso. The first few blows were blocked, but several made it past her defenses and landed with resounding cracks. The earth pony half of Rainbow Pie proved sturdy despite her opponent's strength.
The Overlord took advantage of the opening to fire an uppercut hard at Rainbow Pie's stomach. The mare shot back with a flap of her wings as the blow missed, grazing her shoulder.
Though the Overlord continued to prove his prowess as he avoided once more another sneak attack. Drifting below a devastating kick launched by Rare Apple and using his blade to block against Flutter Sparkle's destructive blast that sent him skidding back several dozen feet. Before he could retaliate he was hit with twin tornado kicks from Rare Apple and Rainbow Pie causing him to stumble back, nearly losing his bearing.
That was when he felt it. The all too familiar harmonic glow. The three mares were radiating with magical power.
"No...my dream...the future. I can't let it be destroyed." The blue gem on the Overlord's blade began to glow. "I can't fail...not again!" He roared as he unleashed a gigantic wave of blue energy that rushed at the mares.
The fusion's stared in horror at the blast coming towards them. Flutter Sparkle tried to stave it off with a barrier, but the barrier ended up proving far to week as it shattered it and enveloped them.
The fusions gave out a scream as they were consumed by the blast. It swallowed up nearly everything for a quarter mile before dying down. Nothing had been touched or moved with the exception of the trio of fusions now being split into six unconscious mares.
"I didn't want to do it! I didn't want to have to use 'that' on you six, but if its the only way the Elements will listen then so be it. I'll wipe them all out! The Dragons! The Cairbou! Every damn race that stood against us and abandoned us in our time of need! I'll see to them extinct!" As if sensing something he dodged out of the way of a bolt of magic. He glanced up in time to see it was Luna. 'Shit. How did they free her? It shouldn't have been possible then that means he is free as well.' The Overlord attempted to land on proved to be false. 'What? How!?' Had he fallen for a trick? An Illusion? His attention was soon diverted when he was blasted out of the air by twin blasts of magic.
Twisting in the air he landed on the ground as he let out an annoyed grunt. He began focusing and in the distance he caught the sight of Trixie and Midnight.
Then that meant.
The Overlord reacted just in time to raise his blade and block what he expected was going to be a magical attack from a weakened Celestia, but the blast was enough to blast him off his feet and nearly dislocate his arm.
Slamming his fingers into the ground and forcing himself to keep in place he looked up in shock at his attacker. "No...its...you...you can't be alive!?" The Overlord whispered out, his voice sounding haunted.
So distracted by the appearance of the other Twilight he did not defend himself against Naruto's surprise Rasengan. The power of the attack rammed the Overlord's head into the ground causing a shallow crater to form from the impact. The power of Naruto's attack had caused multiple crack in the Overlord's helmet, damaging it to the point it was beginning to break.
Naruto jumped away as he readied himself for when the Overlord recovered and went on the offense.
This bastard. The one causing all this trouble. The one responsible for the citizen's latest suffering was going to be defeated like any other villain.
The Overlord's helmet began to crumble away and soon his identity would be revealed.
