The group was shocked by what they've just heard. Discord wants to destroy Equestria? Why? What reason could he possibly have to do such a thing? So he doesn't want to rule anything... but he appears to be having a lot of fun in his 'games' that have already cost the lives of many of our allies.

"Why would Discord want such a thing?" Princess Celestia asked shocked at the still chained Queen Chrysalis.

"I'm not certain of his actual intentions, he never revealed those to me. He just wanted to dispose of the humans first before getting rid of everypony in Equestra. The only thing he ever mentioned is that it would be the best way. But I never really understood what he meant with that." Queen Chrysallis answered.

"By the gods. Who cares what he wants. It's obvious we need to take him down before he does so with us." The dovakhiin joined the conversation.

"Da! We go and crush tiny baby man. Does not matter what he brings, Sasha will crush it." Heavy added.

As much the princess of the sun was against violence, she couldn't deny the dangers her subjects were currently in. Discord... He's gone insane, and he needs to be stopped before he's able to attack himself.

"I agree..." Princess Celestia said silently.

"... Really?" Ulfgar was amazed to say the least.

"You really think that's a good idea princess?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"I know it might sound crazy Twilight... But think about it. If we are able to stop Discord before he's able to get this dragon of him, we should be able to save countless of lives. You've seen what he's capable of this far. This final enemy will most likely be the strongest as well, so if we have any chance to avoid it, we must take that chance with both hooves! Do you understand?" Princess Celestia answered.

"I guess it makes sense that way yes, but I feel really uncomfortable facing Discord again." Twilight Sparkle said.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that when this over, everything will go back to normal." Princess Celestia said smiling.

"Oh dear. Let's hope they don't do anything foolish." Solaire of Astora said while watching all the events that just occured after his short visit to Equestria. For some reason, he could see it through a bonfire. If he had only more time before, he could warn them.

Just a bit more time...

"Then when do we strike?" The dovakhiin asked.

Princess Celestia looked outside. The sun was still shining brightly because she decided to raise it earlier then usual. Which meant it would take longer for this day to end. Be careful and assault Canterlot tomorrow? Or risk it all and face Discord the coming night? This decision could only be made by Princess Celestia.

"We should not waste anymore time, we will take back Canterlot tonight!" The princess of the sun said determined.

"Yes! Finally things are going as they're supposed to." The dovakhiin was obviously excited for his long planned revenge against Discord.

"Weren't you still pretty hurt earlier today? How come you're all better now?" Princess Luna asked Ulfgar.

"Ah yes... I have no idea." Ulfgar really did not recall what happened after his fight with Skorge.

"I can explain that." Twilight Sparkle added.

"Aye, tell me what happened."

"Well, you remember I said there was a strange orange glowing human that came to 'help' us after the battle. He said his name was Solaire, and he gave us a strange potion he called an 'Estus Flask' to help you recover." Twilight Sparkle explained.

"So this flask of his just magically healed the gaping wound in my stomach?" Ulfgar asked confused.

"Yeah, I have no idea how it worked, but there is one other thing though."

"And that is?"

"He explained briefly... that you're an undead or something."

"Undead?"

"Yeah, once I again I have no idea what he was talking about. Just thought you should know what happened to you." Twilight Sparkle was glad she told everything.

"Pfft. It's probably just some fancy term for me being banished from my own realm. I don't care for what this 'Solaire' said. As long I still draw breath I'm alive as far I'm concerned." Ulfgar didn't care what happened. Only one thing was important right now.

Rightful vengeance. Discord must pay for what he has done. None in the room disagreed on this. But was attacking early really such a good idea? It's probably for the best. Strike before Discord has the chance to counter. All of them were strong in some way, and this final battle was their chance to prove it.

"Is there anypony still hurt?" Princess Celestia asked, looking around the room. Obviously Queen Chrysalis was still injured.

No one replied. Must mean that everyone's okay. Great. Then the next order of plans will b-

"Ah think Heavy here might be slightly injured." Applejack suddenly said.

The large Russian just grunted. His left arm was actually severely bleeding and lost all feeling in it. Pain does not bother him. The fact that he only had a hundred and fifty bullets left did, and no dispenser anymore to refill his ammo.

"By the gods. Why didn't you say you were cut before! I'd could've healed you earlier." Ulfgar shouted annoyed at the Russian.

Heavy weapon guys grunted again. "What is pain? It does not bother Heavy. But I had enough!" The Russian suddenly slammed his still usable fist on a nearby table.

He was angry. He had enough of this, it's just gone to far. He needs to go back to where he belongs, and fight his never-ending battles in a secluded area. Bloodlust was close to overpowering the giant Russian. But he was still able to keep his cool for a single reason. He made a promise to never harm any pony, and he was determined to keep this promise.

But someone had to die soon. Discord... Yes, he needs to die. Pay for the BLU Sniper's 'death'.

"Then heal dragon-man!" Heavy suddenly said. "Hurry and then we go crush ponies enemy for good." He said while narrowing his eyes.

"I like the way you think." The dovakhiin answered and proceeded to start healing the Russian's wounds.

"Well then. Luna, I'd like to have a word with you privately for a moment. Could you follow me please?" Princess Celestia asked her sister.

Princess Luna did as asked and followed her sister. They left the basement of Sugarcube Corner and eventually got to the main hall. It was private enough for the time being.

"What is it you wanted to discuss Tia?" Princess Luna asked.

"Ah yes. About the upcoming battle..." Princess Celestia answered.

"Yes! I can't wait. Surely it will be dangerous, but to stop Discord I would've expected nothing less."

"That's just the thing Luna... You're not going."

"Yeah, and then we g- ...What?" Princess Luna responded surprised.

"Allow me to explain sister."

"Please do..."

"What we're going to be facing tonight will possibly be the most dangerous obstacle in our lives. It will not be a safe place for anypony. Not even us, and that's why I need you to take the changeling queen and all nearby citizens to evacuate to safer grounds in Manehattan."

"That still doesnt explain why I can't come with you. We can just teleport them to safety right now."

"Listen Luna... If something were to happen. The citizens of Equestria need somepony to lead them. That's why we can't risk coming both. Please, I'm not doing this to tease you. It's the best for our subjects."

Princess Luna was dissapointed, but she understood her sisters intentions. She just prayed nothing would happed to Celestia. But if something did, the ponies would still have Princess Luna to rule over them.

"Alright sister. But you must promise me to be careful!" Princess Luna said.

"Just leave everything to me, the Elements and the remaining humans. All this combined power will surely give us an advantage." Princess Celestia ended the convsersation with these encouraging words.

"So yer sayin' there ain't just damn talking birds ere? But bloody colorful horses as well?" Demoman asked.

"That exactly what ahm sayin' yeah." Engineer answered.

Ever since their escape from the gryphon kingdom they've been constantly on the run, avoiding more random encounters. But the Engineer figured out this strange world where their co-worker 'Heavy' was brought to, did not just have gryphons in control here. Oh no, appareantly there's a race of brightly colored equines here as well.

"I don't care. Anything is better than those freaky birds." Scout added.

"Zis is most interesting. Unfortunatly ve do not have ze time to properly examine zhese 'species'." Medic said with a wicked grin.

"Gentlemen, remember we are professionals. Now zhen, where are those drumsticks?" Spy asked.

"Mmmmppphh!" Pyro decided to burn his gryphon wings slightly further. He liked them well baked. Or actually... he just likes to burn things. He REALLY likes to burn things.

"Oi, I don't like this world and their prancin' show-ponies one bloody bit." Sniper added.

"You are the most worthless unit of MAGGOTS I have ever witnessed. By the flag... Even those Nazi bastards put up more of a fight than you do!" The Soldier was self-proclaimed leader of the REDs. And he did everything to keep moral as low as possible.

A lot could be said of the Soldier. That he's crazy? Maybe. That he's insane? That's basically the same thing, but sure. But he was also a true leader in heart and soul! And most of all, he was a cold blooded killer.

Even after being rejected by every branch of the U.S. Military in 1940 where he desperately wanted to fight in World War 2, he decided to buy his own ticket to Europe and fight the war he longed so much for himself.

After arriving in Poland the Soldier taught to use himself a variety of weapons including shotguns, rocket launchers and shovels.

Then the Nazi killing spree started. He went on his own across all of Europe blowing each and everyone to bits and pieces. He was awarded multiple medals for his honorable and heroic actions. In fact, he designed and made the medals and trophies himself.

Eventually his killing spree which was in the thousands by now, was stopped upon him hearing the war had ended. This was in 1949. Shortly after those events the Soldier joined the RED.

Where's now he's leading this bunch of pathetic maggots!

An annoying loud-mouthed, fast running brat from Boston.

A mysterious crazed lunatic who just wants to see the world burn.

A drunk black scotsman with only one bloody eye, and an unhealthy desire to blow things up.

A highly educated, hard-hatted laid-back man from Texas. (Although Solly thinks he's from Canada) With much love to tinker with all sorts of machinery.

A German scary guy. Soldier would say nasty things about him, but the REDs knew how valuable he was to the team. So he respected the Medic for that. But dear god, he's got a few screws loose. Archimedes was also with him.

Then we have the Australian camper. Just sits in a tree all day, doing nothing apart from filling his jars with piss. Weird guy.

Lastly the french sissy. With his 'haute cuisine' and 'escargots'. Hiding in the shadows and disguising as the BLUs to destroy their enemies before they would even have a chance to react. Soldier hated his ways of figthing, but couldn't argue with the results he delivered.

Those are the REDs. And they've come here with only one goal. Retrieve their friend and bring the one responsible for punishment.

A few weeks ago their colleauge, the RED Heavy, was taken by an unknown goat-thing. For a while they continued battling their eternal enemies, the BLU. Untill one day the BLU's themselves dissapeared. Just as the RED Russian.

When that event happened, they were pursued by their boss to fix whatever it was that's going on. By using state of the art technology they've been able to track down the world Heavy was taken to.

This isn't the first time Mann. Co had to deal with a magician after all. However, they were easily able to track down the Russian's weapon. Just like all their weapons Sasha's been tagged. Just in case one would lose their weapon. They already learned this the hard way when Heavy was once seperated from Sasha. They had to bring in Saxton Hale to stop the Russian's rampage.

But they were sent here with a time limit. And they've just spent more then a week fighting with some stupid grypons. They had to get back their co-worker today. Or Saxton will show up again and kick their asses. No one was looking forward to that, that's for sure.

Engineer already had a teleporter exit set up back in 2fort. He'd just have to make the entrance here and POOF they're all back in their own world.

Of course they could just simply blow their brains out as well, die and use the respawn. But that would be unnecessarily bloody.

"We've been walking all day, geez. How far away is he?" Scout said complaining.

Engineer was staring intensively at a mechanism of his determining the Russian's location. "He's still about thirty miles that way." He pointed in a random direction.

"Thirty miles? We'll never make it before the end of the day with fat Solly around." Scout said grinning.

"Boy, you do NOT want to make me angry." Soldier was enraged, thus he pulled out his 'Disciplinary Action'. A whip. "Better start running!" Now the Soldier was grinning.

"OH GOD OW!" Soldier started whipping his teammates, ordering them to run as fast as possible without stopping. They've asked for it.

Hold on Heavy! We're coming for you.

The mane six had collected the Elements of Harmony. Surely their power will prove useful in the upcoming battle. It sealed Discord twice before, perhaps it will get rid of him entirely this third time.

Heavy was completely healed once again thanks to the dovakhiin. Armed with Sasha and his remaining bullets he determined to end all of this tonight.

Ulfgar was just as ready. Thanks to the strange potion he had taken earlier all his wounds have dissapeared. He didn't question it, but considered it a blessing since now he's able to finally complete his revenge. Armed with greatsword and the Thu'um he's a force to be reckoned with.

Princess Celestia was still nervous. Which is understandable, not many face these situations. But for the good of her people she had to do what was right. Fight for them, with everything she had.

The ponies prepared. Night was coming and so was the assault.

Princess Celestia said her goodbyes to her sister. She would remain here to evacute the hurt Chrysalis and other remaining civilians to safety in Manehattan.

Derpy Hooves, Bon-Bon and Lyra would not come. They're determined enough, and have the heart for it. But they were simply not strong enough to face Discord. It would be better for them to stay out the way. They agreed thankfully and said their goodbyes to the mane six and remaining humans, wishing them luck.

Shortly after those three teleported away, along with Luna and Chrysalis. Ponyville was still to close for comfort.

Just Princess Celestia. The mane six, Heavy and the dovakhiin remained.

"Are you all ready?" The princess of the sun asked the group.

They all nodded.

So princess Celestia started charging her spell. Teleporting them directly in to the Canterlot palace.

A bright flashing light engulfed the group. Shortly after they noticed the spell succeeded as they were facing the royal chambers once again.

It was not the same as it was this morning.

Discord had completely remodelled the castle to his liking. Everything was completely black instead of white, all the portraits had been replaced with pictures of Discord himself. Quite the ego this guy got.

Also the fountain in the hall was now spewing lava instead of water. This was rather creepy.

"Welcome... To my domain." A voice suddenly shouted.

There he was. Discord. Sitting atop Princess Celestia's throne who was now covered with black balloons. I have no idea.

Ulfgar immediatly unsheathed his greatsword. "Discord! Prepare to meet your ancestors!" He shouted while pointing his blade at him.

"Ah Celestia... I did not expect you to come so soon. It's not even been a full day hasn't it?" Discord said, completely ignoring the dovakhiin once again.

"We've had enough of your games Discord. Your reign of terror will come to an end today!" Princess Celestia answered.

"Yes... a pity isn't it. But you'd thank me if you knew otherwise." Discord said.

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll be sure to make you all suffer as less as possible." Discord then snapped his finger once again.

A thundering roar could be heard. Followed by another enormous explosive sound.

"Maybe it's better you came this early. I didn't enjoy myself here anyway. Farewell Celestia." Discord snapped his fingers once again, teleporting himself to safety.

"By the gods! Why does he keep cowering away." Ulfgar was obviously annoyed by Discord's actions.

"Little puny baby man will come back. He always does, then we crush him." Heavy added.

"This was to be expected. I'm more worried about that noise from earlier." Princess Celestia wondered.

"Maybe it's another monster?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Aye. You can count on that, but what is he bringing us this time?"

If those were footsteps, this can't be good.

All of a sudden the entire roof was ripped off by a behemotian creature. The group stared in awe at the being.

It slightly resembled a dragon, but horribly mutated. It was enormous to say the least. Bigger than any dragon they've ever seen. It was completely covered in strange yellow liquid. The very same liquid the lambent berserker was also covered in.

It was a terrifying creature. Made into an abomination by the lambent mutation. It's eyes however, were not red of corruption.

The creature stared down at the group. It was in pain, a lot of it. But it did not care, it had only one goal. Destroy and annihilate everything.

"STROM DA QUUL!" The creature shouted. The very same words used by the dovakhiin to conjure a storm of lightning.

But this was no thunderstorm. The sky slowly started turning red as blood and flaming objects could be seen crashing down towards them. It were meteors.

This was no normal dragon-lambent monster.

"Dovakhiin, Kel drey ni viik." The creature spoke.

"By the gods. It's... Alduin." Ulfgar hoped to never face the world eater again.

"Pahlok joorre! Hin kah fen kos bonaar. Daar Lein los dii!" After these words the lambent-Alduin monstrosity started spewing violent flames towards the group.

"RUN!" Twilight Sparkle shouted. The group did as she said, but one man remained.

He stood in the flames, not hurt at all by the heat produced. He was dovakhiin, bearer of the Dovah Sos.

Alduin was his greatest enemy. Even greater then Discord, he thought that he stopped the Nordic god of destruction before in Sovngarde. Yet here he is again, more powerful then ever before.

Words cannot describe Ulfgar's determination to stop this foe once again. It wasn't just his duty, it was his destiny.

"ODAHVIING!" The dragonborn shouted at the top of his lungs.

Nothing happened, as expected. He's in a different world after all. But it does not matter. Alduin's demise will come again, for the third time now. Hopefully forever.

Ulfgar engulfed his greatsword in violent flames once again. The best way to fight fire is with even more fire.

He leaped at the creature through the ceiling. If he'd have the first attack before the meteors start falling he'll have a massive advantage.

But his attempt was in vain as the lambent monster suddenly grew multiple pairs of tentacles around its wing area which violently knocked the dovakhiin away.

Even though the flames did not burn Ulfgar, the immulsion did. And it burned like hell, he was knocked thirty yards further into a wall.

"Ulfgar!" The ponies shouted worried for their companion.

But he stood up once again. Covered in blood he looked terrifying to say the least, but not even close to how insane this monster was.

They all started to prepare.

The final battle has begun.
