I take another glance at her, my interest peaked by her new attire.

“NIGHTMARE MOON!!!” I hear from behind me, probably coming from those weird things Yachiru dragged along with her, speaking of Yachiru…

“Hey, get somewhere safe, got it?” I say looking directly at her, she smiles and nods running over to the statue thing and hopping to the top of it, the others following her as well, the purple one inspecting the stone art.

I turn my attention back to the one dubbed Nightmare Moon, “Heh, you changed a little since a few moments ago, huh? I can feel it to, you are leaking power right now-” she sent one of the crescent shaped blades at me at immense speeds, which I blocked with my sword, being pushed back a little by the force behind it. She then charged at me sending all her blades hurling at me except her scythe, which she kept close.

I run past them all of the blades effortlessly dodging all but one of them, and it cut me on the left side of my face and my ear as well. I felt the pain, before it was replaced with adrenaline and excitement. I sucker punched her in the head, denting the metal before she brought her weapon down, just barely nicking my right arm before I head-butted her, making her fly back, doing a flip before recovering. I heard the air displacing as I jump into the air having all those little blades miss me, or so I thought before one lodged itself into my back, causing me to grunt at the sudden intrusion as I heard the others gasp, as I fell I looked over seeing the stone orbs that were on the statue on the ground shattered, along with the rainbow one on the ground as well with a deep gash.

I land with a strong thud. I stand up and crack my neck, “Is that all you got?” I say with a slight smile.

I rip out the blade and shatter it in my grip before rushing her with a flurry of blows, cutting threw her armor with every hit I landed, but she did the same to me, I kick her through a wall before using my speed to appear behind her and grabbing her mid air and throwing her through another wall back into the room with the statue landing a few meters away from it… I think, can’t tell with this damn eye patch on, but nevertheless she got back up some of the armor being fixed by the glow of hers while other pieces fell off. The glow is coming from that horn of hers…

I make another mad dash and make contact before she could even react hitting her with the hilt of the blade as she soars she disappears in a flash, and then I feel something pierce my stomach I look down and find all the crescent blades in me along with the scythe blade. The blade is removed as blood gushes out of me, stumbling to regain my balance. Nightmare giggled as she walked into my field of view. I could see her smiling since a portion of her helmet was gone from the hilt making contact with it.

“I think I’m the stronger one here ‘Kenny’, and your death will just prove it.” she says mockingly.

I look down and see the hole left in me by her weapon, along with the blades still in me. I should be scared, I should be in agonizing pain, I should be DEAD… but instead I just find this funny, I just find this so fucking humorous. I shouldn’t, I should be screaming in pain, but instead I just start laughing, hell I’m busting a god damn gut just laughing like a madman. “That hurt! Hahahaha, that really hurt,” I reach out quicker than I thought possible and grabbed her horn, “Let me return the favor!” I yell with gusto as I bring my blade around, she tried to block it but my sword just passed right through hers and then through her armor, and finally that horn.

Blood spewed out from what was left of the appendage and a shock wave went off throwing me and my opponent back into walls, yells and shrieks coming from everyone but me and Yachiru. I grunt on impact, luckily impacting a rather thick part of the wall and didn’t go thru along with Nightmare who screamed in pain on impact, and kept doing so as I got back up with a victorious smile. The glow was gone and it seems like my wound is nearly gone just like in Bleach. I pull out the other blades completely since they were pushed almost all the way thru when I hit the wall.

I hear the pain filled wails of my enemy stop, reducing to pained grunts and gasps as she shakily stands back up. With a painful yell the glow comes back slowly, and more dull colored as she brings her broken weapon back to her side with multiple pain filled grunts and moans. I shake my head at her attempt before looking at her with a soft smile.

She looks at me with anger, “I will not die here today! Just because you cut off my horn doesn't mean this battle is over!” another shockwave went out, this one almost as strong as the last. ‘Seems she still got some reserves.’

“Sorry but I’m not interested in weaklings who can’t fight any more. Besides, I don’t have any obligation to finish you off.... I got some advice for ya, Don't just accept loss or defeat Moon! Accept it after you're dead. If you lose without dying... it means that luck is on your side. If that happens - focus on surviving! Survive and Kill the one who couldn't kill YOU!” I recite smiling at how natural saying all of that felt, even adding a little to it.

She stomps the ground “NO! I WILL WIN, I REFUSE TO LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YO-” she was cut off as she looked to her left where a white light was coming from. I do the same and see those six Yachiru dragged with her floating in the air all now wearing jewelry with some kind of rainbow ribbon coming from five of the things necklaces and swirling around the crown thing on the purple one before shooting into the air a descending upon my shocked opponent. It wasn’t until I heard her shriek in pain that I knew she was being harmed by it, I looked closely into the beam and see her being ripped from some other thing like her but smaller, and weaker looking. Everything slowed down as i thought about what to do, my opponent is being hurt right in front of me in the middle of our fight by the rainbow beam of righteousness and I think she is now being disintegrated if her fading is anything to go by.

‘I could save her’

‘Or just let her die, it isn’t our job to protect her’

‘But we haven't finished our fight! If we save her we could finish it!’

‘But if she does die, then that means she was weak, and that group over there is stronger! That means we can have an even better fight against even more opponents just as strong!’

‘But why can’t we have both?’

‘Why do we need both?’

‘Because it’s more fun!’

‘Decide on something already!’

Author's Notes:

Alrighty everyone, got us a decision to make here.
Does Nightmare Moon live to fight another day?
Or does she die and just be a name forgotten in the wind? (a.k.a, worth as much as a filler character)
Post here to decided, I will read the comments and will tally them from there.
for her to live
for her to die
