As the light cleared, allowing Screwball to gaze upon the being before her. She gawked at what she was seeing. Standing before her was Charles, decked out in a set of solid white armor that covered him from head to toe. On his back rested three sets of ethereal wings, all white and flowing as if cloth in the wind. Coming up from his shoulders were a connecting look that stood above him as if floating, horizontal to his back. It was in the shape of a sun, the rays shooting out from it. Inside the large symbol was a crescent moon. All around the edges were each symbol of the Elements of Harmony in a gemstone set within the large object.

After gawking at the being before her, Screwball had also realized that the ground beneath her had stopped shaking, along with the sky having stopped cracking. Her expression going from shock to anger once again as she snorted toward the being before her.

"So you delayed the destruction of all space and time. Big deal. I'll still have my way once I destroy y......." *WHAM* She never finished as a fist met her directly in the face as it sent her backwards and into the sky above. Charles taking flight as he went after her.

*In Charles' mind*

"Girl's? What happened?" Celestia spoke out in confusion as she looked around into total darkness. the only visible thing being the girls as she were sitting in a large circle looking to one another.

"I have no clue." Twilight stated as she looked around as well. "The last thing I remember was seeing Charles............ dead." She spoke out as tears began to form in her eyes, but stopped as a large pool manifested itself in the center of the group. Everypony looking into it to see Screwball getting nailed with an armored fist. They stopped for a moment as realization hit them. An armored fist!

"Charlie is alive!" Pinkie giggled loudly as she hugged Dash who was sitting beside her. The others hugging one another, happy to know that he was still alive, and fighting Screwball. The next question to come out was from Celestia as she continued to look into the pool of light, seeing the armored fists wailing onto Screwball with unrelenting force.

"But why are we here? And how did Charles get that armor?" Celestia asked, catching the attention of the others.

"It must have been due to the Elements princess, and your and Luna's magic. We all seemed to want to get back at Screwball for......... killing him........... so we must have combined into a single set of armor onto him. But that doesn't tell us how he came back to life. He was so badly damaged that nothing could have survived a hit like that." Twilight shuddered remembering his serene expression as she gaze down at him.

"He may still be gone my student." Celestia began. "This may be his last lingering thoughts brought to life why our combined magic. It has happened before." She sighed but stopped as a voice echoed around everypony.

"I'm............ not dead yet." Came the voice of the human all around the ponies as they let out a soft gasp.

"Charles? But how?" Twilight spoke out with concern.

"I don't know, but..... I know that I died. I met my parent's only for a second before they pushed me away. They said it wasn't my time, and that I needed to save everyone, and everything. I don't know what's going on or how I ended up with this power, but I'm not wasting any time to find out. Screwball must not live any longer than she has to. I don't want to take her life, but if I don't............... Then everything in existence, will perish." He stated softly, sadness in his voice.

At this moment, Screwball was blocking hit after hit from the armored human. Each time he would swing and connect with her she would scream out in pain as she could feel bones cracking under the vast pressure being used behind each blow. She ducked and weaved to avoid blows, trying to throw her own and making them connect with the armored human only to see no effect as he continued his assault.

'No.......... this can't be how it ends........... I won't let it.......' Screwball thought to herself as she took one final hit and let it make her fly backwards into the sky, using her own chaos magic to propel her on at even greater speeds. Charles bolted after her as he broke the sound barrier upon launch. the crack of thunder escaping behind him as he quickly gained on the pony in question before grabbing her by the mane and coming to a halt in mid air. She let out a scream as a hand full of her mane was torn from her scalp. She turned around with a wide swing only to stop as a fist connected with her stomach in an ear splitting crack of thunder. Her eyes went to pinpoints as she tried to breath but couldn't. Every fiber of her being telling her to move, to breath, to run away and save herself. But it was over.

The chaos pony's eyes came up to looked at her attacker as his hands came up. One grabbing another handful of her mane, holding her outstretched as the other hand came to in front of her, fingers pointed into the shape like he was about to scratch her, palm forward as a light began to quickly gather into the center of his palm.

"So.......... this is it............." She stated as she closed her eyes just as the light began to blind her.

"I'm sorry.............." Was the last words that she heard from the human as an energy wave erupted from his hand. Charles watched as her serene expression quickly vanished as flesh was torn from bone, then the bone disintegrating from the energy wave as well.

All that was left was a tuft of her mane that was still in his hand. He quickly descended to the ground below as he looked at the hair, giving a said sigh as he held it. Once he was on the ground, Steel and Kindle came up to him as he began to glow. Eight ponies appearing through the glow as he stood there silently looking at the tuft of hair.

"Is that?" Steel asked as he looked at the tuft of hair in Charles' hand, he pressed it forward as Steel took it from him in his magical grasp.

"That's all that is left of her." Charles sighed again as a tear left his eye. However, it halted as another loud crack escaped the sky above. Everypony looking up to it to see another large crack split through it as if it were made of glass.

"I don't understand, we defeated her. Why is the sky still doing that?" Twilight asked but stopped as a loud shriek was heard.

Everypony looked to Steel as he was quickly being wrapped up by the tuft of hair that Charles had given him. He kept trying to brush it away and pull it from him as his shrieks of terror filled the air. Before anypony could act, Steel was completely covered with the tuft of hair as light began to seep through it. The hair having formed a cocoon around the elemental pony and pressing outward as light continued to pour out through the ever increasing cracks.

"EVERYPONY DOWN!" Celestia shouted as they dropped to the ground as the hair exploded outward in an array of light.

After a few seconds of letting the dust settle, they all looked to see Steel no longer there, but what was there was something else entirely.

"I'm......... baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!" Came the distorted voice of Screwball as her now grey and shimmering coat glistened brightly in the sun. Her mane now swept backwards and down her neck and back. Her tail now shorter and sharp at the ends of each tip. Eye's a blistering red while she now had a horn that slightly curved, she gave an evil smile as her now sharpened canines shown brightly toward everypony. "And now, I'm going to end this world......." She trailed off as her horn began to glow brightly. "And everything in CREATION!"

"Everypony get out of town, quickly!" Charles shouted as he waved at them. Many running away as fast as they could, some falling and being help by others from the quaking earth beneath them.

*C-CRACK*

They all stopped as they looked up to see another crack split through the sky, it was coming. Time was at it's end, and they all knew it.

"Time to DIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiieeeee." Screwball spoke out in a singsong voice as a beam of magic erupted from her horn. Blasting several ponies around her and turning them into stone.

"NO!" Charles shouted as he ducked to the side avoiding the beam of magic. "Tia! Toss me a magic potion!" He shouted as the princess pulled one from Midnight's stash portal and teleported it to his hands. He quickly pulled the top open and downed the bitter drink. He panted for a few seconds as he began to glow.

"Come on. COME ON!" He shouted just before his body turned into his Alicorn form. His horn a blazing white as he looked around to the ponies being scattered and turned to stone. After a second he locked his magic onto the ponies and teleported them to Sweet Apple Acres. The statues being sent with them as well.

He looked around one final time before seeing Screwball's horn glowing again as she stared toward Kindle who was the closest pony to her. She let loose her magic in a powerful beam. As it was heading toward Kindle, it stopped as it hit an invisible shield as a glow encased her. Kindle blinked a few times to see herself now covered in armor that was as black as the void. Small plumes of black smoke coming from it as it slowly vanished into the air surrounding her.

"Kindle, think you can take care of Screwball like this?" Midnight's voice called out from the armor.

"I hope so, because if not......" She looked over to the chaos/elemental pony before her. "Then we are so screwed."
