Chapter 9 – Fierce Fight

Jest charges towards me, as he flies only a few feet above the ground, holding his scythe at the side of his body with only one hand.

He is fast, very fast. He was standing far away from me just a second ago and now he is almost in front of me. I get into a better position, standing with both feet parallel, facing him as he floats up to me.

I hold my sword pointed on to him, as he comes closer and closer.

Finally, he is in range to him me, landing on the ground and sliding towards me, as he swings his scythe upwards from the ground, cutting through the dust of the ground.

I hit my sword downwards to counter, hitting his hilt as we struggle against each other.

The look on his face was full of anger, craze and the craving to kill.

"Oho, you can block my attacks when I charge from a large distance, kid, but what about this?"

He puts his right hand away from the scythe. As I see this, I try to push harder and break his defence, but he is too fast and punches me with his fist, a point blank hit.

The hit sends me flying a large distance. All that I can see is him disappearing and reappearing above me, crouching while in mid-air.

"Take that!" Jest yells while reaching out with both of his legs, hitting my stomach and my whole body into the ground, leaving a huge hole behind.

The attack whirled up a lot of dust, and I can't see a lot.

"Come on, is that all you've got? Stand up! Do something! FIGHT ME!"

As he screams that, he is wide open and not standing on me anymore.

I jump up, rush towards him and sting him into his shoulder, creating a huge mess of blood all over his arm.

"Alright, if you want this so badly, I will give it to you!" I yell, as I sting my blade even deeper inside of his shoulder. It doesn't seem to hurt him a lot, since his expression is the same as before.

He reaches back and smacks me in the face with his free hand, sending me flying far again, as he holds the scythe with the stung arm.

"Is this all you've got, a surprise attack that doesn't even hit any of my vital organs?"

To be honest, I only try to hurt him until he surrenders. I can't kill him, he is still my friend. Even though Discord took over his mind, he is the same person. I can't just kill him like that!

But as I think about that, he raises his scythe onto the air, creating a thunderstorm.

I stand up, as I see him casting.

"Arturo Durazo, Scythe of Storms, smite my opponent with your power!

Take this!"

A huge lightning runs on to me, which I am lucky to dodge very closely.

If it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would be dead right now.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Every time he speaks up, another lightning strike crashes onto the ground, trying to run through my body.

I am quick enough to dodge every single one, moving from the right to the left at amazing speed, leaving every spark behind.

I am almost at him, as he stops the storm and instead reaches back his scythe to the right, preparing a horizontal attack.

I am about to be in his range, as he whispers something that I can't seem to understand, which leads to the blade of his scythe being engulfed by lightning.

"Try to parry this!"

Chris screams out, as he runs towards me and attempts to attack me, but I can closely slide underneath his scythe, seeing every single spark of his scythe pass by.

I spin around, just after I dodge the attack and sting him right into the other Shoulder. Again, blood flows right out of it and on my blade, down his arm and even down his back.

"Hmpf. You still don't attack me with all you've got."

He says, as he reaches out his right arm and grabs the blade of my sword, pulling it out. Afterwards he turns around, swinging his scythe furiously and very fast, almost cutting directly through my left arm.

The attack leaves a deep wound in my arm, of which flows blood endlessly.

His attacks become faster and faster the longer we fight and the more I actually hurt and disable his limbs, the harder he strikes.

It makes no sense!

"Okay kid, it was really fun until now. But I gotta say, I am slightly annoyed by you not fighting to a full extent. What holds you back, me being your 'best friend'? Oh come on, I will destroy everything if you don't kill me!

You know how much everything is, don't you?

Come on! Stand up against me and fight!"

He kicks me away from him, his assault is so fast I can't even see his foot moving. Yet again, I fly away from him, as he uses me as some kind of toy to play around with.

What he said…

I can't. I simply can't fight him properly, nor kill him.

Could I really grant a person rest that I know so much just for peace? Do I have the right to choose who dies and who not? No!

But I have to…For the better in Equestria.

I have to kill him once and for all, as he shall never come back.

So that this world has it's peace.

"If you wish to be destroyed, I shall grant you that wish."

I charge on to him, with amazing speed, holding my sword above me. As soon as I am in range to attack, he tries to punch me with his hilt. I dodge his punch by ducking, and cut from the bottom left to the upper right part of his chest, leaving a very deep wound, leading to another strike right through his shoulder wound and right arm.

Blood drops everywhere, as he grunts while I kick his wounded body away.

He lands on the ground, withering in his own blood as I walk slowly towards him.

"You wanted me to fight you, yet you are so overconfident, just like last time. You really shouldn't leave me chances, as I will recklessly use those." I speak to him in a monotone voice.

"Honey sapple! I know that this guy is your friend, but you have to finish this once and for all! Discord won't stop using his body for his crazy plans, please…Kill him!"

Yells Twilight Sparkle in the background as I stand in front of the blooding body of Chris.

Suddenly, the storm opened up a giant hole in a house, which seemed to look like a portal, sucking in smaller things like leaves. It is a huge, black and cyan hole that seems to have no ending what so ever.

Whatever it is, I ignore it at the moment. I got more important problems.

"I really don't want to do this but I need to."

"Hmpf. You really think you win?"

He starts to talk normally, to my surprise as he has four very deep cuts and stings in his body.

"You won't. And you know why?"

He speaks on, as his body disappears in a small blue energy wave, reappearing behind Applejack

"Because I ALWAYS win… No matter how I do that, only results count!"

The ponies gasp as he appears in the middle of them, and he lays the blade of his scythe around Applejacks throat.

"You don't want me to slip and cut through the neck of this pony? Oh how was that again? You love her, don't you?"

"Back off, Discord! Leave her out of this!"

"Oh I will leave her out, if you go through this portal and never come back!"

He tells me, with a confident and evil grin.

"Are you kidding?"

"Do I look like I am joking?" He replies, as he moves the blade closer to Applejacks throat.

"Honey, do something!" She screams, as I can't move.

What should I do? If I attack, he is most likely to kill her…If I leave this place, he will take over this place and spread chaos all around. I have to do something!

"Okay. You've won, I will leave."

I say to him while closing my eyes, lowering my head.

"What?!" a synchronized scream of the whole Mane 6 is let out.

"I can't let you kill Applejack. I would rather kill myself for letting you do that."

I step closer to the portal, as he does the same, pulling AJ with him.

"One funny move and your little pony friend here is a headless horse. I have to turn us back to ponies, the portal doesn't work for humans. They would just destroy the portal, eventually even closing the portal!" He explains to me and the rest of the Ponies.

I nod, as he unleashes the dark aura to turn us back.

A blue light despawned the scythe, letting it disappear almost so fast that I could not be able to grasp it, as he casts the spell to transform us. He is unarmed, and I still got my sword, this is my chance!

"Sorry pal, but you should order things up a little smarter! I have a sword, you're unarmed!

I really don't want to do this, but it seems I have to!"

I yell as I cut directly through his whole chest, cutting him almost completely in half.

All he replies is a very loud scream in pain, as he falls over into the portal.

I look away, not seeing what's happening. I just lost a good friend of mine.

Actually, he doesn't want to lose me it seems. In his last bit of power, he drags me with him, so I fall into the giant, blue hole with him.

While falling, I see Applejack standing at the edge of the portal, screaming: "Honey sapple, no! Come back!"

My wounds get wider and wider as I fall…My body feels worse and worse.

Chris suddenly despawns, just as his scythe does, and turns into thousands of small blue particles, which seem to fly even faster through the portal as I.

The falling becomes worse and worse, as I finally pass out.

What happens next? I don't know. I don't even know if I want to know. Next Chapter: Appleleaves Estimated time remaining: 7 Minutes
