Colgate had initially caught Twilight and her forces off guard by attacking from the east but very quickly Twilight's troops gained their composure and were fighting to the death. Soon the armor spells on most of the soldiers had been broken and changeling drones and dark Alicorn soldiers began to fall from the sky which angered the higher powered forces on both sides. On the south end of the battle floated a nervous LaurFa, who continued to be tortured by the thoughts that Twilight had done something bad to her in the past. Applejack saw this and could sense the nervous energy from her foe. She flew over to LaurFa and asked, "Why are y'all so nervous LaurFa? Shouldn't you be out fighting? Aren't you afraid your little Twily will punish you?"

LaurFa had an extremely nervous look on her face and replied, "I don't know why Applejack, but I can't bring myself to fight for Twilight. I just feel like something bad happened between her and I, that she did something really bad to me."

Applejack asked, "Are y'all talking about that night in Canterlot when she drained you of all your powers and banished you to the void?"

LaurFa began to tear up as everything began to come back to her. She remembered how she used to be a goddess, the night in Canterlot, being drained of her energy, being banished, Twilight releasing her, her thinking Twilight was her mother, the restoration spells, the loyalty spell and everything else that happened. She flew over to Applejack and instead of attacking her she hugged her. She cried, "Thank you Applejack. Thank you for reminding me of who I really am." She paused and continued to cry, "I used to be a goddess but I'm not anymore. I hate her Applejack, I hate her."

Applejack smiled and replied, "It's alright. You'll help us defeat her and you can take your powers back from her." She looked out towards the battle and asked, "So what are y'all going to do now?"

LaurFa's cries quickly turned into shouts of rage. She shouted "I'M GOING TO KILL TWILIGHT! I'M GOING TO HELP COLGATE FREE THIS WORLD! I'M TAKING MY GODDESS POWERS BACK!"

Before Applejack could say anything LaurFa took off in the direction of Twilight and Colgate. She shouted, "Colgate, move!"

Colgate heard the voice and something in her head said to do as it said, so she moved. Just as soon as she moved a powerful bolt of energy struck Twilight, throwing her backwards. Twilight was stunned as she began to hear a wrathful LaurFa screaming at her cursing her for everything she had done.

Naturally this enraged Twilight. She began firing energy back at LaurFa shouting, "you treasonous bitch, when I'm done with you, you'll be on my dinner plate!"

LaurFa shouted, "You disrespectful little bitch, you thought you could control me forever but NOT ANYMORE. I am free of your control!"

Twilight fired a powerful beam of purple energy at LaurFa, knocking her from the sky. Twilight landed by the stunned LaurFa and asked, "So traitor, who broke you free of my spell? How did you remember who you really are?"

LaurFa stood up, pushed Twilight back and replied, "Applejack is the one who reminded me of EVERYTHING. She reminded me of that night in Canterlot and that brought back everything. You're going to pay Twilight Sparkle. The Goddess LaurFa shall rise once more and free the world of your tyranny!"

Twilight laughed, "You, a goddess? You haven't had goddess powers in 4,000 years and you'll never have them again! You're lucky to have what I gave you."

Twilight's laugh caused LaurFa to go into a rage. She launched herself at Twilight, puncturing her shoulder with her horn but that did not even slow Twilight down. She charged back at LaurFa and rammed her horn into her hind leg. LaurFa began to limp so she took to the sky again where Twilight took after her. While Twilight knew that she could eventually take LaurFa out with her magic she wanted to continue to fight the old fashioned way, as she was getting way too much enjoyment out of it.

Soon Twilight's soldiers were beginning to fight like they did back in the glory days. They were taking out Colgate's soldiers at a slightly quicker pace than they were losing their own. Brevity saw this and was not pleased. While she didn't feel that the time to go had arrived yet. She knew that it may be approaching.

Twilight's friends and allies had gotten into a brutal battle with Colgate's Alicorn allies. Rarity and Sweetie Belle confronted one another. Rarity was shouting, "Sweetie Belle you little tyrant, you do not attack your big sister! Join the side of the Dark Goddess Twilight Sparkle or die!"

Sweetie Belle, who was much more advanced in warfare, fired energy at her sister, knocking her out of the sky. Sweetie Belle swooped down and landed in front of her sister, who had suffered a broken wing and was covered in mud. She laughed, "Oh, you better go wash up, you got mud on you!"

Rarity began to levitate her younger sister and shouted, "I'm not like that anymore. Anything happens in warfare. Join my side or die!"

Sweetie Belle had become more powerful than her sister and easily broke free from her sister's hold. She fired a powerful bolt of energy at Rarity, throwing her clear across Ponyville and breaking her other wing, which basically took Rarity out of the battle entirely. On the northern edge of the battle, two ponies who were once great friends, were firing energy at one another. Commander Scootaloo had confronted Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow glared at Scootaloo and asked, "What happened to you Scoots? You used to be such a nice, sweet pony. Now you're just a bloodthirsty, mindless drone of Colgate's."

Scootaloo was not impressed with this question. She knew she was more powerful than Rainbow and could fly faster as well. She growled, "Me a bloodthirsty, mindless drone? Better be that than fight for a pony who will put you in chains later on!"

Rainbow shouted, "Twilight would never do that! She is as good of a friend as they come!" She then fired a bolt of energy at Scootaloo but missed. Scootaloo fired energy back and struck a direct hit on her former hero. Rainbow was stunned and saw an enraged Scootaloo coming after her.

Rainbow was flying as fast as she could but was quickly kicked out of the sky by Scootaloo. While she could have simply knocked her down with magic, Scootaloo was bound and determined to show Rainbow that she was superior in flight. Rainbow got her bearings straight and took to the sky again, albeit being a bit dizzy.

While Scootaloo continued to brutally kick Rainbow in the head to the point that she could no longer fly, things were not going so well for the rest of Colgate's allies. They continued to fire energy at Twilight's allies but they just weren't strong enough to knock them down. The most they could do was burn them and stun them. Very quickly everything seemed to be getting out of hand. Brevity saw this and decided that she would see if Twilight could be unmade again. She began to glow brighter than a thousand suns, causing the battle scene to be bathed in what seemed to be blinding light. She pointed her horn towards Twilight, who at this point had knocked LaurFa to the ground and recited, "For this object was created in ancient times, long long before nearly anypony's time, the atoms that hold this together are strong but that won't last for long, for what was made can also be unmade for even atoms ultimately will go to their grave."

Her powerful beam of pink energy struck Twilight, but did nothing more than knock Twilight to the ground. Brevity realized that ponies can not be unmade twice. When she saw this so she decided the time for her and her allies to leave this world had come. She flashed her horn brightly three times and shouted, "Come towards Brevity, the time to go has come!"

Even Luna, Colgate, Scootaloo and Fluttershy, who wanted to fight to the death knew that this world had to be abandoned. LaurFa saw all of Colgate's forces headed up to Brevity and realized what was happening. Before she could take off, Twilight landed in front of her and asked, "So LaurFa, where do you think you're going?"

LaurFa replied, "I'm leaving to go to a safe place, away from you!"

Twilight laughed, "I'll let you go under one condition."

Twilight's laugh angered LaurFa. She fired a powerful bolt of energy at Twilight, one almost as powerful as she did back when she was a goddess. Twilight fired back but just like she did 4,000 years ago, she at first felt her energy being shoved into her. Twilight's eyes then began to shine a darker green with purple outlining, she was glowing a dark purple and her horn had a black outline around it as she began to draw in not just LaurFa's energy, but her very life. Twilight began to grow further while LaurFa began to shrink again. Finally when LaurFa was the size of a filly, Twilight stopped the energy transfer.

LaurFa shouted, "Why? Why did you have to do this?"

Twilight replied, "Because you betrayed me. Now go with your precious sister before I decide to kill you."

LaurFa began to cry as she flew off towards her sister, who had almost everypony else still alive in her forces gathered around her. They were encircled in a bright pink ball. Before Brevity could begin to recite her spell, Scootaloo fired a powerful bolt of energy at the battle scene, knocking everypony, including Twilight flying and leveled every building in Ponyville except for the black tower.

Twilight had finally come to when she heard Brevity recite, "This world has become a bust, leaving it is a must, a new world we shall go to as saving this world is something impossible to do, now we shall go and let the death of this world flow."

While she was reciting this Twilight had a change of heart regarding LaurFa. She sped after her and began firing energy at her. Despite being drained to the size of a filly and having almost all of her powers taken, she was still quite agile. Twilight could not hit her and as the pink ball began to glow brighter and brighter Twilight finally hit LaurFa. It did not knock her out of the sky, but instead it threw her into the ball and as Twilight fired one final bolt hoping to destroy the ball, a bright pink flash rocked the very earth. Brevity and everypony left alive on her and Colgate's side, had been teleported to a new world.*

Twilight went into a rage knowing that she was unable to kill any of her enemies. Her cussing and screaming was soon calmed down when Celestia patted her on the shoulder and said, "Twilight, calm down. We won!"

Twilight stopped shouting and looked at the landscape around her. While she saw that Ponyville had been leveled she also noticed that of the foes that did not escape, none remained alive. She got a huge smile on her face, began to fly around Ponyville shouting, "YES, YES, YES! WE WON! WE WON! THE WORLD BELONGS TO THE DARK GODDESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"

Twilight heard some screaming off in the distance. She looks hard and saw Rarity screaming, "Somepony help me! My wings are broken!"

Cosmos flew over to Rarity with a concerned look. He asked, "Rarity, who did this to you?"

Rarity replied, "Sweetie Belle did it to me. I never imagined my own sister would be so cruel."

Cosmos said, "Well let's get this fixed." He began to glow a deep shade of blue, sent a calm beam of energy to Rarity and said, "Broken is the instrument of flight, for the wing needs to heal and provide might, the bones shall be fused so the wing can be used."

The energy quickly entered Rarity's bodily and her wings were immediately healed. She smiled and replied, "Thank you Cosmos, you are most kind."

Twilight floated down to the ground to assess the damage. Everypony could see her smile and this angered some of them. Rainbow asked, "Twi, I know you're happy about us winning but what about all this damage? It will take a long time to rebuild."

Twilight frowned at Rainbow and replied, "Remember I have magic Rainbow." Twilight then fired bolts of energy at where the buildings once stood and they were restored to their former condition. Twilight smiled and said, "You see Rainbow, everything is going to be just fine!"

Galaxia yawned and said, "Wow, I'm tired. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm ready to hit the hay."

Twilight yawned and replied, "So am I, let's get some sleep everypony. We can take care of the bodies tomorrow and once they are gone, we can bring our citizens back."

While Galaxia, Cosmos and Celestia followed Twilight into the tower to get some sleep, everypony else headed home. That night before she went to sleep, Twilight looked into the eye and scanned the world. She got a huge grin on her face as she saw no trace of her foes, realizing that they did indeed leave for a new world. She then said to herself, "How sweet victory is! Things are going to be so much better in this world with me in charge again!"
