Liberare Elementis!
Chapter 3: Lunam Voluntatum!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterKamina couldn't properly explain the sensation. The closest he could get to it was to relate it to being like stretched far too thin, over too much space that it becomes hard to distinguish things. He felt cold, yet warm, solid, yet ethereal. He knew he was alive, because he'd already been dead before, and he wasn't going to let death take him so easily again this time. But that was death, this was something else.
'Can't...fucking...focus....' Kamina was trying so damn hard to assemble something resembling cognition, it was so hard not to just fall asleep. However, after several minutes of forcing his will against whatever was happening to him, he was utterly baffled. He was looking at the dark side of the planet Equus, which was the world Equestria was on, he knew this because the parts he could see below the regulated cloud cover matched the world maps he'd been forced to study. He was confused, but it didn't take much effort to realize where he was, or rather, what he'd been forcibly turned into, when he saw his mother's sun, and could look at it without being blinded. He saw an outline of his mother's face, and could sense somehow, that she was crying. 'Ma...don't cry...please....' Silently begged the Colt in the Moon, the outline of his horn's spirals glowing a bit brighter than the rest of his body. 'I won't let being trapped in the moon stop me! You know this! WHO THE HELL DOES THAT BITCH NIGHTMARE THINK I AM?!'
===//////>
Twilight was pacing in her new library, frantically floating out books on breaking seals, countering spells, anything! Her friends and mentors were trapped in the celestial bodies orbiting their world, and she HAD to save them! “Twilight! This isn't helping! We have to stop Nightmare Moon at the source!” Spike tried to reason with her, and Twilight was on the verge of tears as she knew he was right...but....
“You SAW what she did! She just...just....” She collapsed on her legs, the books she'd been looking at following suit, and cried into her forehooves as Fluttershy and Pinkie pie moved to hug her, and try to get her out of her funk, while Rainbow furiously paced in mid-air, grinding her teeth. Applejack was winding her rope to make sure it wasn't frayed, and Rarity was remaining calm despite her worry. “She just...took him away! Sealed him on the moon in front of us all like it was nothing! How can we possibly stand up to somepony that not only did so to the Princess, but to one of my friends, who is one of the strongest ponies I know, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! And I couldn't do anything!”
“Now don't ya dare blame yourself sugarcube!” Applejack demanded as she trotted in front of Twilight, and forced her to look her in the eyes. “Chin up, he wouldn't want ya doin' this to yourself. What would Kamina want ya to do?” At her question, Twilight sniffled, stood up, and took a deep breath, before getting a shocking powerful fire in her eyes.
“FIND THAT CUNT AND SHOW HER NOT TO FUCK WITH ME! SHE'LL KNOW WHO I AM!” Twilight screamed as her fur began to turn into a pale yellow, and her mane and tail turn to actual flames while her eyes turned red, and her new friends all balked at her extremely vulgar words, and she blushed before returning to normal. “I mean...face it head-on. Like he always would say; no matter what it is, face it, and pierce through it! Nothing will stop me! Nothing! Not even the heavens themselves!” She looked out the window, and saw, to her great inspiration, the spiral of the shadowy outline of Kamina's horn imprinted on the moon, glowing brighter than the rest of his body's outline, and her own horn's spiral began to glow slightly blue at the base, and she became even more determined. “The Elements of Harmony.”
“The what?” Rainbow Dash asked as she hovered down closer to the group that began to gather around Twilight.
“The Elements of Harmony! That's what will help us defeat Nightmare Moon and free Prince Kamina and Princess Celestia. But if only we had a book that could tell us more about-.”
“The Elements of Harmony!” Pinkie declared, holding up said book to everyone's surprise.
“Pinkie!” Twilight stated in gleeful surprise as she levitated it over to herself. “Where did you find this!”
“Tee, hee~ silly! It was under E!” Pinkie simply replied, making Spike facepalm and Twilight to blush in embarrassment; and here SHE'S the bookworm. Twilight walked up to the center table, and opened the book to skim for the information she needed.
“Let's see...it says here, that after their last use to banish Nightmare Moon to the moon, the Princess left them in her old castle in the Everfree.” Twilight then read on for a bit. “Also...the elements themselves represent the five characteristics of friendship. Honesty, Loyalty, Laughter, Generosity, and Kindness...but it mentions that there is a six, but it is unknown, it only says it will be made apparent when the other five come together.”
“Well what're we waiting for! Let's go!” Dash burst out the door, and then came flying back in a second later nervously. “Uh...yeah I'll just wait for you girls. That place is dangerous enough, but at night?”
“Oh my, yes, it is very dangerous. There's wild bears, mountain lions, manticores, cockatrices, timber wolves, cragadiles, and who knows what else?” Fluttershy listed, and shivered slightly. “W-we need to be careful. If we stick together though; most predators should leave us alone.”
“Then it is settled! We shall have to face this challenge undivided! That may have been the plan before, but now we must certainly stick together!” Rarity affirmed, making the girls gather together near the door.
“Let me guess...I'm staying here?” Spike asked morosely, and Twilight was about to say yes, but then paused for a moment, and wilted a bit as she thought of Kamina, and what he'd have to say about it.
“Actually...come with us Spike.” Twilight surprised everyone with her decision. “We'll need your help. Your flames are an excellent natural defense, and can scare off most of the weaker predators if they get brave enough to try and attack us. Also...Kamina would want you to come anyway.”
“Yes! He's not even here and big bro has my back! Uh-huh! Who's the cool drake?” Spike shuffled in place in a dance Kamina showed him for a moment, but paused and cleared his throat upon realizing they were all staring at him oddly. “Uh...yeah! Let's go!” They all ran out the door, and Spike gave chase. “Wait! I need somepony to carry me! My legs are too short!”
===//////>
Kamina felt so tired, so very tired...but he couldn't give up! 'Bitch! When I get out of here, I'm ramming my horn up your cunt!' He then thought on that, and shivered. 'On second thought, you're my aunt, that's kinda sick. I'll just gore you in the chest.' Kamina's struggles weren't fruitless, as he had been managing to condense more of “himself” through sheer will, and was beginning to regain his body on the surface of the moon, but it was just a proxy, meaning he was still combined with the moon...wait...combined?
Kamina had a sudden, very random and inspired idea, and grinned madly. 'Wait, I AM the moon right now! There's nothing keeping me here...other than Nightmare!' It was crazy, it was mad, it was desperate, and there was a HUGE chance of this possibly destroying the world, but he saw nothing else for it. If that bitch wants to rule a world, she has to keep it intact, doesn't she? Remembering a dark tale from Jeeha Village, one meant to scare the children into never wanting to leave the safety of being underground, he began to force his will on his new body, with a dangerous intent.
Crash into the planet.
It didn't take much, it was actually terrifyingly easy, and the gravity of Equus was his friend as it helped him pull himself towards the planet, letting him finish his unclothed proxy, and watch as the planet loomed closer, his horn's spiral looking like it was slightly unraveling his horn with the blue light of spiral power. 'C'mon, c'mon you bitch! Prove me right! If you don't, I'll have the lives of a whole planet on my hooves...well, body.'
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!” As Kamina hoped; the bitch of the hour was here to stop him, and save the planet. Nightmare Moon crashed harshly on him; the moon, cracking his surface, and literally pushing him back into orbit, completely undoing his efforts to his relief, but he hissed at a crack that appeared on his proxy's shoulder. “Are you mad little nephew?! You could've destroyed Equus!”
“That's the plan! You see; I'm the moon now, and I don't want to be up here anymore, I want to give my sister Equus a hug!” Kamina grinned maliciously, as his horn unraveled more and seemed to become more glowing spiral power than naturally dyed bone, rivaling Nightmare's horn in length, and making her draconic eyes widen and sweat lightly in genuine light terror at both his power, and the lengths he would go to in order to stop her; not even she tried to crash the moon into the planet to spite her sister, it was just too...too far.
“What kind of pony are you...to be capable of such dangerous things?” Nightmare asked as she widened her stance, flared her wings, and began to charge her horn with dark power.
Kamina lightly chuckled, and his eyes gained a gleam of light blue as several red and blue telekinetic lances formed around him, ready to launch at a moment's notice. “Just who the hell do you think I am? I'm Prince Kamina the Great! And you...you're just an obstacle between me, my friends, my country, and my family! I hope you have life insurance aunty...because royal funerals are expensive.”
===//////>
“Y'know...we've been pretty lucky Ah'd say.” Applejack supplied facing Twilight.
“What do you mean? We've been plagued with obstacles since we stepped into this Celestia-forsaken forest! There was that rockslide, the possessed giant pony-trap plants trying to eat us, the frenzied predators trying to rip us limb-from limb, the bewitched trees attacking us, AND that manticore that would've killed us if Fluttershy didn't calm it down!” Twilight didn't bother mentioning that Spike had saved them from the plants, predators, and trees. “I swear, when this is over Spike; I'm raising your allowance, I'm going to get you a FIRE RUBY for this, you hear?” Twilight looked back proudly at the tired baby-slash-near adolescent dragon riding on Rarity's back.
“Yeah, yeah just, call on me if you need some-*cough*-fire....” Spike's flame sac was stressed from using his fire offensively for the first time in his life, if he kept this up much longer; it would rupture, and he'd be unable to breathe fire for days until it healed.
“Rest Spike, my handsome knight, it wouldn't do to have you needlessly hurt yourself.” Rarity gushed at him and nuzzled him with care. He'd saved her life from a mountain lion that nearly brought her down with a single pounce by jumping in the way, throwing it off course, and then burning it to death in his panic. He was horrified that he did it, but she wasn't going to let him think about that, and buried the trauma temporarily with her gratitude; he deserved that much. She liked to think she was generous, but really...if only he were a few years older....
“I'm just sorry my advice to “giggle at the ghosties” didn't work on those trees. I thought they just LOOKED scary, not actively attack us....” Pinkie bemoaned, but giggled anyway. “Just remember my words everybody! It works for everything that isn't attacking you.” The group nodded with smiles at her, and then heard what sounded like a rushing river, accompanied by a male voice weeping hysterically.
“What kind of ham could be crying like THAT in this place?” Dash asked, not knowing of their impending meeting with a certain Steve Magnate.
===//////>
“What's the matter...old hag?” Kamina panted, grunted, and strained to even maintain his proxy, which was missing the left foreleg, cracks ran through his conjured body, and his right eye was gone, leaving a blank spot where it used to be, showing nothing but bloodless flesh beneath, but still deforming his face. However, his agony didn't dull his wit, or his will, let alone the shit-eating grin he still sported to Nightmare's rage. “Can't...keep up with a novice?”
“Hardly! I am simply...occupied....” Nightmare looked back towards Equus, and growled. “Blast! How are they still getting through?”
“My friends won't let something as pathetic as you...merely sending spells and curses at them stop them.” Kamina strained, his horn still radiating spiral power and his own magic unhindered since the battle started. “And I...I won't let anything stop me from protecting them!” He flashbacked to his death, and grit his teeth as he renewed his determination. “Never again!”
“I...have had...ENOUGH!” Nightmare focused as much of her power as she could summon without destabilizing her spells back on Equus, and fired an enormous blast of dark magic at Kamina, who's eyes widened as time seemed to slow down, and he screamed in defiance as he aimed his horn at the wave of magic, and it parted before him like water against a rock, but it still did it's work.
“Gah~!” His horn, while not his actual horn, was still affected by the deluge of raw darkness, and fractured down the length. To protect him, the spiral power withdrew itself and changed his horn back to normal. When the wave was gone, Kamina stood there, his remaining eye blank in the sheer pain as he fell over on his right side, his remaining legs breaking off and turning to dust like rapidly aging crystals as his proxy started fading back into his body.
“I have wasted enough time on you nephew. Now, if you'll excuse me.” Nightmare was about to take off for Equus, but she gasped as the whole of Kamina's body; the moon, shifted beneath her again, and she felt the satellite begin an ill-fated union with the planet again. “Stop this! I demand you stop this fruitless struggle!”
Kamina's proxy, while blind, weak, lame, and powerless, still smiled in victory, and wheezed in a few false breaths.
“Come here...to the show of the century, I'll blow your mind with a sight you'll surely want to see. Oh, there's no one who can beat me, no one who can stop me, I'm just so good at my craft, and if anyone dare question; I'll extend my little Kamina and an open invitation.” Kamina tiredly recited, as he smiled weakly in the direction of the fuming Nightmare. “Face it Moony...I win! The only way you're going to be free of me, and my struggle...is if you release me, and kill me directly.”
“...If you are so determined....” Nightmare said with surprising remorse, and her eyes flashed into looking like a saddened normal pair of pony eyes for a moment, but Kamina couldn't see that, only hear her sad response before he felt it; a grasping sensation at what felt to be his essence, and let out a shout of agony before he lost awareness again.
===//////>
When Kamina came to, it was to feeling beaten, battered, cold, and naked. The last one wasn't unusual, but he remembered wearing his cape before being fused with the moon. He groaned as he got up, and fell back down when an unexpected resistance jerked him back to the ground. He opened his eyes, and growled at seeing each of his legs, and his neck, were shackled to an upraised dais in some ruined castle by the looks of the large chamber. “Great...it's a scene ripped from an old perverted tale. Now I just have to wait to “serve” my mistress, as if, damn bitch is on my blacklist, not to mention she's my aunt.”
Kamina tried to cast a spell to break his binds, but was met instead with a piercing lance of pure pain that shot in through his horn. He took several long moments to get the pain to subside, and he crossed his eyes to look up at his horn, and see a black metal limiter with glowing red runes that matched his magic aura. “Great...imprisoned again, but this time without access to either my magic, or my spiral power. Simon might be able to use his spiral power without a focus, but damn it...I'm not my bro...not yet anyway.” 'Why won't she kill me? Why is she going to such lengths to let me live? I'm clearly more trouble that I could ever be worth, so why?'
“Let it never be said that I do not cherish family, nephew.” Kamina heard her voice behind him, and froze when he felt the large mare lay next to him, leaning against him with a sad sigh, and he turned his head to look at her in curiosity, only for her to nuzzle his cheek gently, like his mom does, so lovingly and with care. “Look...I've been on that moon for one thousand years, alone, abandoned. My sister ignored me, she ignored my feelings, my words, until finally I couldn't take anymore.” Nightmare looked him in the eyes, and he found amazing depth in those draconic orbs. “So I decided to lash out, to get her to notice in the only way I could see getting her full attention. And after a short battle, she banished me with OUR Elements of Harmony!”
Kamina was baffled...he'd been so determined to completely destroy her, but now...seeing her on the verge of tears, bearing herself to her nephew like this. She wasn't just some cruel monster, she was a pained and lonely mare who just wanted the same things her sister had. “I'm sure mom has had plenty of time to think on this. Let her go, let the sun come back. We can talk about this.” Kamina tried to convince her, and she sniffled before taking a deep breath and sighing.
“I've thought about that...but I can't let go of my hate, my disdain for what she put me through. I will let her out, but only after she's had to experience being trapped like so for a while.” Nightmare's ears perked up, and she quickly got to her hooves. “We shall speak later nephew. When your friends are dealt with.”
“No!” She teleported away before he could grab her, and Kamina growled. “Damn it! Why can't it ever be so easy? It was simple back then, there wasn't so much gray between the good and the bad.” Kamina mused as he remembered founding Dai-Gurren, and how easy it was to declare war on their oppressors. But now he saw a deeper side to his monstrous aunt, one that wasn't all bad, and now he was having second thoughts. Couldn't there be a peaceful resolution if she's so willing to talk to him?
Kamina's thoughts were interrupted by Nightmare returning, but with five big stone spheres with gem-like shapes protruding from them. But she didn't come alone; Twilight was there now, coughing a bit. “Twilight!”
“Kamina!” Twilight stood up, and looked out the window at the moon, seeing it blank. “Let him go!” Twilight screamed as her anger flared, bringing her to flames again, making Kamina balk and Nightmare to raise her eyebrow impressed.
“A Shifter? My, my sister knows how to pick them. She bore a son with near unlimited potential, and selected a student with a natural ability only one in one-thousand unicorns have the potential for. I see no need to waste such potential. Join me, I have need of powerful beings such as you.” Nightmare offered, but it only made Twilight's mane and tail of flame to grow in fury, her red eyes to burn brighter.
“Not. On. Your. LIFE!” Twilight then teleported next to Nightmare, and cast a stream of fire from her horn, forcing the dark alicorn to teleport a short distance away with the Elements. This gave the opening Twilight needed, and she quickly used her flaming mane to sweep through the chains binding Kamina, and melt a single link off each to free him. “Are you ok?” She asked, her fury giving way for a moment to concern, but she was still burning unabated; her Shift having set in until she dismisses it, and she caressed his cheek in worry with her fiery mane without burning him, it didn't even feel warm to him as he gawked at her.
“Twilight...you are SO hot right now....” Kamina replied, making her giggle.
“Yes, you're fine.” She then used her mane like an extra limb to wrap around his horn, and pull off the limiter; making Kamina sigh in relief. They both turned to Nightmare, who growled at them at seeing the tables turn; a Shifter and an extremely dangerous battlemage with access to a second source of magical energy that seemed to boost his own endlessly both arrayed against her, and she wasn't liking the chances of one of them walking away from the clash alive. “Nightmare Moon! By the authority invested in us by the Princess; we hereby demand you relinquish the Elements of Harmony, and turn yourself in.”
“...You're kidding, you're kidding right?” Nightmare asked, and then started to laugh. “You think I'm going to hoof over my only true weakness?” Nightmare gasped but couldn't dodge, as suddenly Kamina had rocketed into her in a flying tackle, launched at her by a powerful telekinetic shove from Twilight, and he grappled with her neck and forelegs. “Unhoof me this instant nephew!”
“C'mon, c'mon, a spark....” Twilight mumbled as she teleported to the Elements, focused her magic into a pure charge, and transferred it to the Elements, causing them to glow and shake. “Yes!”
“No!” Nightmare screamed in worry, as she wrestled free of Kamina's grasp, and pushed Twilight away from the Elements. “No! Not again!” However, nothing else happened, the charge Twilight put in the faded, and they were left with an awkward silence, broken by Nightmare laughing hysterically. “Oh! Oh I thought I was finished! Ha, ha, ha~!” She then reared back, and stomped between them, shattering the Elements to Kamina and Twilight's horror. “Now, NOTHING can stop me!”
“But, I don't understand! Where's the Sixth Element?!” Twilight asked in confused terror, her flaming hair shrinking a bit at her loss of volition. However, her thoughts of failure were halted by the shouting voices of her new friends coming up the hall, and she gasped as her eyes dilated greatly, and Kamina could have sworn he saw a literal spark in the center of her pupils, and he smirked at her.
“Figure it out?” He asked cheekily, and she rolled her eyes at him with a smile. “I told you before Twilight, I'll tell you again if you need a reminder, but it seems you finally remembered, and understood.” Kamina sagely informed her, and bowed to her. “Oh mighty and fair mare, it was my pleasure to serve you.”
“Oh~ quit it!” Twilight giggled at his actions, loving just how much he was hamming it up about him being right all along.
“What is the meaning of this levity? Have I not just won? Did I not just destroy your only hope before you?” Nightmare asked in confusion, and they both smiled condescendingly up at her.
“You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that? Well you're wrong.” Right on cue, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie all ran into the room, and stood beside them. “Because the Spirits of the Elements of Harmony; are right HERE!”
At Twilight's statement, the crystals that were held in the stones Nightmare shattered began to glow, and levitate seemingly of their own will, making her gasp and rapidly look at each of them. “What?”
“Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents Honesty!” Crystals from the Elements began to revolve around AJ to everypony but Twilight's and Kamina's surprise. “Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents Kindness!” The same happened for Fluttershy, who gasped. “Pinkie Pie, who banished our fear by laughing in the face of all the dangers we faced to get here, represents Laughter!” Pinkie bounced as she was surrounded by crystals too. “Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents Generosity!” Rarity calmly posed as her crystals came, and Spike jumped off her back with a tired pep. “And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon us for her own desires, represents Loyalty! The spirits of these five ponies led us through all the challenges you threw at us!”
“You still don't have the Sixth Element! The Spark! You tried that, and it didn't work!” Nightmare tried to put doubt into her, but then her eyes widened as she looked to Kamina. “Unless....”
Kamina smiled softly and shook his head. “This isn't my show; I'm just a roadie.” He pointed a hoof to Twilight. “She's definitely got that Spark. She just never saw it before.” Kamina turned to her, and smiled with pride. “I've always told you, that you would one day understand when we met, what Friendship truly was.”
“Kamina told me, almost right when we met when I had doubts of being his friend. He told me; if you can't believe in yourself, believe in the pony who believes in you.” She smiled widely and with great adoration at Kamina, and then looked to her new friends. “When I heard your voices, I remembered those words, and it made me realize just how happy I was to hear you, to know that I could believe in you, that you would be there for me.” Twilight was crying now at just how happy she realized she was; she'd never felt like this, not even with just Kamina and Spike. She knew she could believe in them, but it was the realization the she could do the same with almost complete strangers, that brought it forth. “I felt it! The Spark! It ignited within me, and told me for certain that you all-.” She turned to face Nightmare, and had a determined smile. “Are my friends!”
At her declaration, the Sixth Element appeared overhead, and floated just above Twilight's head, radiating a blinding light that hurt Nightmare just to look at. “Woo! Go Twilight!” Spike cheered tiredly, but not without enthusiasm from the sidelines with Kamina.
“You see Nightmare Moon, the Elements only work if they are ignited by the Spark that resides within us all, and it creates the Sixth Element. The Element of Magic!” After this last declaration, the Element of Magic burst in a show of magical light, and the other elements transformed and wrapped around the other's necks into necklaces adorned with single jewels of their cutie marks. Twilight's however, turned into a tiara with her cutie mark, and rested just above her horn, framing her flaming mane as they all hovered in a white magical glow, and then fired a massive rainbow blast at Nightmare, who was frozen on the spot.
“NO~!” The Rainbow Friendship Beam ripped clean through Nightmare to everyone's shock, and, to their surprise, a blue alicorn filly with a silvery blue mane and tail was ripped from her chest as the horrid dark alicorn was launched out the window behind the dais, and over the cliff into the ravine below.
It took a few moments after the Elements ceased their blast as they all gathered themselves, and Kamina quickly trotted up to the filly. “...Aunty?” Kamina asked, and she groaned gently as she opened her eyes, and looked at him. “Are...are you my real aunt?” Kamina asked, feeling so much more comfortable around her, like his own mom; she had to be his aunt, his instincts were telling him so.
“Nephew...it isn't over....” She barely whispered, before a sudden shockwave blasted up from the ravine, beginning to collapse the ruin around them, and they all gasped as a formless mass of pure darkness, with pieces of Nightmare's armor floating aimlessly in it save the peytral that used to protect her chest, and the crescent moon gem on it seemed to be glowing like a beacon in comparison to the swathe of darkness surrounding it.
“IF THE NIGHT CANNOT LAST FOREVER! THEN I SHALL AT LEAST TAKE THE THIEVES WHO STOLE MY CHANCE WITH ME!” The Nightmare, the TRUE Nightmare began burning itself, using itself as a source of fuel, and began charging a suicidal explosion that would take out them, the castle ruins, and most of the Everfree in one horrific blast; there would be no running from this.
“She's going to blow herself up! We have to stop her!” Twilight screamed as the massive charge of wild dark magic began to cause wild whips of magic, as Kamina grabbed his filly-sized aunt and gave her to Fluttershy.
“Twilight!” Kamina called to his friend over the howling winds, and when she turned to him, he smirked devilishly. “We can still win! We've got to combine!”
“Combine?!” Twilight screeched as she blushed through her whole body, her orange flaming hair turning red even.
“Yeah!” He turned back to face the fading specter that wished nothing more than their deaths, and would assure such if they didn't stop it. “Remember? Star Swirl's theory on thaumatic resonance?”
“But that takes so much time, and effort! We couldn't possibly-!”
“Twilight!” Kamina looked back to her, his horn's spiral already igniting with it's blue flame of spiral power. “Remember! Don't believe in yourself! Believe in the pony who believes in you!” Kamina held his shit-eating grin, and it grew when her eyes narrowed slightly, she mirrored his grin, and her own horn's spiral lit up with the tell-tale glow of power of the spiral.
“Got it! I'll supply the propulsion! You give the piercing strike!” Twilight and Kamina jumped at each other, and Twilight landed on his back, gripping his body with her legs as tightly as possible, while focusing her magic into a heavy burst behind them; , her tail of fire acting like a rocket, propelling them towards the desperate fading Nightmare as it began to eat away at the castle, heading towards them and their friends.
“Final attack!” Kamina's horn erupted entirely in spiral power, eclipsing his own red magic, and the blue became the body, while the red became the spiral as it rotated, and grew larger, and larger on approach, Kamina could feel it burning through his horn and his head, but grit his teeth and persevered, he had to save his friends! “GIGA~! DRILL~! BREAKER~!” Kamina screamed just before they impacted the tidal wave of pure destructive magic the Nightmare was gathering, and punched through it like a spinning bullet through paper.
“WHAT?!” The Nightmare screamed in utter disbelieve, mere split seconds before they shot clean through her peytral, tearing it completely to pieces. “AHHHHHH~!” She screamed in agony, before she exploded in a blast of pure, weakened, dispersed dark magic, rather than her planned gigantic concentrated explosion, enveloping the entire area in wisps of darkness, casting the whole center of the Everfree into shadow as the sun finally began to rise on a new day.
