Chthon let out another roar as Quentin, Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all stared astonished, and horrified to the darkened skies. Celestia and Luna stared at the God with brave glares, clenched teeth, and battle ready stances. Arcanus, though with bandage covered eyes, had fearless yet speechless gaze. But perhaps the most shocked and alarmed was Chrysalis, who stared at Chthon with her mouth ajar. She was expecting for her wish to be a completely unstoppable being with unlimited power, but instead the gems summoned this lord of darkness and chaos.

Chthon was truly unlike anything they all have never seen before. Like Discord, he had a head that was horse-like, but it wasn't like the head of the ponies of this world. Along with its horse features, he had a slight canine appearance to it, especially his muzzle, which was flared and was leaner than most stallion muzzles and housed razor sharp, canine like teeth. He had a white mane which unlike most ponies in the World of Harmony, Chthon's was styled in a flowing Mohawk that started from his upper back with the entire Mohawk flaring backwards saved for a large lock of hair at the center of the Mohawk that went down his back just stopping at the upper half which was tide into a tight ponytail that flowed in the wind with a lock of bang over his right eye. Chthon had thin, white, sharply shaped eyebrows along with a set of thinner white hair lining curving downward with a slight acute angle near his eyes.

Like his son, Chthon had a white goat beard coming from his chin similar to Discord's but a tad bit longer and instead of going down, it was pointed outward with a slight curve. He had pointed, dog like ears and atop of his head were a black dragon horn with a crimson red tip on the right side of his head while the left was a black deer antler with sharp points with both the horn and the antler crooked backwards. Chthon's body was, strangely, more humanoid compared to the rest of his features. His body was lean but well built, being muscular with a visible six pack abs and a chiseled chest, muscular arms with five fingered claws with sharp, black fingernails. Like his son, Chthon had two different legs and feet. His left foot was cloven with a black hoof, while his right was a four toed, canine foot with sharp nails, like that of a werewolf. His overall body was covered with a deep, purple colored coat as it was enveloped in a dark reddish black aura and he wore nothing but a flowing, dark red loincloth draped around his waist, the back flowing and covered all around his lower backside and reaching just a bit longer down past his feet and the front strip extending just past his knees with the overall loincloth tattered at the edges. On his backside the loincloth was a long, purple dragon's tail with spikes running down the center with a tuff of white hair at the tip. On Chthon's back were two pairs of large wings, far bigger than any Pegasus wings or even Celestia's wings herself, a pair positioned on his upper back and a pair on his lower back. The wings on his upper back had feathers, like that of an angel except the feathers that were black as the night with a tint of dark red along the bottom. The wings of his lower back were large, tattered, purple and red bat wings with numerous holes within them. One of his most frightening features were his eyes in which his sclera were pitch black and his pupils were an unholy red, which were bursting with dark, reddish black, fire like energy. With his appearance, to the ponies of the world, he would seem like some sort of demon...a demon that had emerged from the deepest bowels of Hell.

No one said nothing, just stared up at the god as he glared with burning eyes and gritted teeth as he observed his reawakened body. Finally he stared into his claws for a moment until his mouth formed the most sadistic looking, evil grin and he began to give off a soft dark chuckle. The chuckle grew louder and louder until finally Chthon gave off a loud, maniacal laughter that echoed in the sky was loud enough for all to hear, sending chills throughout Quentin's and his friends' bodies as the aura surrounding his body subsided.

As he laughed, the burning fire surrounding Chthon's eyes subsided and he clutched his hands into fist as his wings sprang further opened and finally what seemed like hours, he finally stopped laughing. His dark eyes, scanned the solar eclipsed dark skies and finally towards the earth...and landed right into Chrysalis' dumbstruck eyes. Chthon smirked darkly and pointed at Chrysalis.

''You! I thank you!'' Chthon spoke out in the most darkest, evil, demonic voice.

"No...no...NO! What is this?!'' Chrysalis shrieked frantically, getting back on all fours. "What happened to my precious Cosmic Gems?!''

Chthon only gave out a dark laughed. Chrysalis glared at him with an outraged look, ''W-Who are you?! What have you done to my gems?!''

"I would think that you would remember me Chrysalis. For I have been with you this whole time. Ever since you first found the Power Gem I've been with you...whispering in your ear,'' Chthon answered, crossing his arms as he locked his dark eyes onto the bewildered queen.

Twilight, Quentin, and the others said nothing, just continued to watch from where they were. Chrysalis gave Chthon a confused look before retorting aggressively.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but answer me; what have you done with my gems?!''

Chthon chuckled, ''You mean MY gems. They've simply became one with their one, true master.''

Chrysalis' face fell in shock at the answer. "No...NO! I'm the one that collected the Cosmic Gems. I'm the one deserving of their power!''

Chthon laughed again at her remark. "But it was I that have been controlling your mind for all this time. The more gems you've collected, the stronger my control over you became. In my condition at the time, it was impossible for me to seek of the Cosmic Gems until you ventured on your avarice fueled quest to locate them. And you've been such a perfect little pawn.''

The on looking all looked at one another with shocked glances. "So what Discord said was right. Chthon was controlling Chrysalis all this time,'' Celestia deduced.

They all shifted their attentions back to Chrysalis as she spat back at Chthon, flying up and getting into his face. Now that they were close together, their size differences could be seen clearly. Chthon was far bigger than the evil queen. He was easily twice her size, three times even, even more so than Celestia, Luna, and quite possibly the average human height. He was very well over ten feet tall.

"I don't know who you think you are, but if I did release you, then you are in service to me! You should serve me as my sla-GUH!'' Chrysalis began but was suddenly grabbed by the throat by Chthon, his grip easily clutching all around her neck.

Quentin and the others all gasped at the sight as Chrysalis choked and gasped for air in Chthon's grasp, her hooves wrapped around Chthon's arm in a futile attempt to pry his grip from her neck. Chthon brought her close in, their muzzles almost touching and he gave her a dark glare and growled menacingly.

"Insignificant insect. I serve no one, especially not a mere mortal.''

Chrysalis tried to speak, but Chthon's grip was just too strong, and she gasped for breath. Chthon continued, forming a slight, evil smile.

''Though I do believe you are right however. I could not have regained my powers if it hasn't been for your assistance. And so as a reward...I shall grant you a quick and painless journey to the nothingness void of death.''

The look on Chrysalis' face at what Chthon told her was sheer terror and before she could react, Chthon's eyes ignited with that dark, reddish black, flame like energy and suddenly shot Chrysalis with a powerful, crimson beam of energy from his eyes. Chrysalis screamed in pain as she was blasted towards the earth at great speeds and finally blasted through a pillar and hit the ground hard and painful. Quentin and the others gasped in horror at the evil God's sudden attack, to which Rarity muttered in disbelief with her hooves over her mouth.

"Oh dear lord!''

Chrysalis pushed aside some rubble as she slowly, but surely started to get up. Chthon's attack certainly did the damage it was intended to do. Chrysalis' coat was singed heavily, her teal mane even more unkempt than usual. Blood streamed from the many cuts she had now received as she grunted and staggered to get up.

"You...ugh...wretched fool!'' Chrysalis growled with a cough as she weakly stood up. "You...think you can kill me...that easily?!''

Chthon said nothing, just gave her a dark smirk with her arms crossed. "D-do you think we should, um, help?'' Fluttershy asked uncertainly.

"Are you bucking serious Fluttershy?!'' Rainbow Dash exclaimed with an angry frown. "After all the things she did?! That bitch deserves what's she'd getting!''

Rainbow Dash had a good point. Chrysalis brought nothing but death and misery in her quest for power. Fluttershy looked sadly and apologetically at Rainbow Dash.

''I know...but...I can't help but feel a little sorry for her being reduced to the state she's in right now.''

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes as Rarity spoke up, ''Sweetie I know you mean well, and you truly deserve to be the bearer of the Element of Kindness, but I must agree with Rainbow on this-''

"NOW DIE!'' Chrysalis suddenly screamed, causing them to whip their attention back to the battle.

Chrysalis' horn began to glow a billowing green aura and got brighter as she prepared an attack. "Chrysalis no! This is not a fight you can win!'' Celestia called.

Chrysalis either didn't hear her, or just ignored her as she gritted her teeth and shot Chthon a deathly glare and finally fired a rather massive beam of green energy from her gnarled horn right at Chthon. The beam fired closer and closer to the deity, but he didn't move a muscle. He didn't even look like he was trying to evade, just kept glancing at the attack with that evil grin. Finally it happened and Chrysalis' attack hit Chthon causing a green explosion.

"She got him?!''Twilight asked loudly in shock.

"Looks that way!'' Applejack responded in awe.

From where the group were, it looked as if Chrysalis' attack was effective, but in reality, it didn't faze Chthon one bit, and he opened his mouth and began to inhale the attack until he devoured the last bit of green magic like a vacuum. With the beam inhaled, Chthon, exhaled through his nostrils, a brief burst of green energy coming out of them as he grinned wicked.

"W-What?!" Chrysalis cried out in alarm, seeing her attack had absolutely no effect on him.

The display caused the ten equines to look on in in astonishment as well. "He isn't even singed!'' Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and I said in unison.

Chthon let out another demonic, chilling laugh. "Pathetic. Did you really, truly believe you could harm me? No mortal can bring harm to a God!''

Chrysalis gritted her teeth as she began to shake with anger. "Damn you...you're no God! Once I've retrieve my Cosmic Gems, you will-UGH!'' Chrysalis was suddenly engulfed in a deep red aura, her forelegs outstretched to her sides as she her body was straight up hovering in a bipedal position above the ground.

"What...is...this?!'' Chrysalis grunted as she tried to move but her attempts were in vain.

In the sky, Chthon held a claw out towards Chrysalis, engulfed in a red and black, flame like aura. With a cold smirk, he motion his claw towards him, causing Chrysalis to fly towards the entity, powerless and engulfed in aura. The on looking ponies just stared in speechless horror as Chrysalis stopped a few feet in front of Chthon.

"How...dare you...release me...at once!'' Chrysalis commanded as she continued to struggle to break free from Chthon's control.

Chthon darkly grinned at Chrysalis, showing his sharp teeth. "But I promised you a reward for aiding me in my resurrection. And a God always honors his promises.''

"W-What are you-'' Chrysalis began, fear coming to her voice.

"As promised...a quick and painless death.'' Chthon finished with the most evil smile and before Chrysalis could react, Chthon clutched his fist closed.

Immediately, Chrysalis screamed out as if she was experiencing the most excruciating pain. Not long after, Chrysalis was engulfed in a ball of dark red light with two, black energy ellipse around the ball, similar to an atom model. This appearance didn't last long thought, and as quickly as it appeared, the ball of energy and ellipses suddenly imploded in a flash of red light. The light quickly faded, as did Chrysalis' screams and there light completely faded to reveal that the changeling queen was nowhere to be seen in sight. Chthon had effortlessly obliterated Chrysalis, leaving nothing of her in sight and he chuckled darkly to himself, taking pleasure of the killing.

Back on the ground, the spectating ponies all just stared upward, completely horrified at what they had just witness. "D-did you just see that?!'' Twilight uttered fearfully.

"W-what a frightening power! There's not a single trace of Chrysalis. She's been destroyed right down to a molecular level!'' Luna spoke in disbelief.

"So this...this is the power of the Dark One that legend said had smitten the world all those years ago?'' Celestia asked flabbergasted.

Arcanus added in a disturbed tone. "Is this truly the power of a God?''

What just happened shook Quentin's friends greatly, even Rainbow Dash had landed onto the ground in hopes of not being seen by the deity with a fearful look. "W-what are we going to do?'' Fluttershy whimpered, shaking with fear.

Quentin swallowed a lump in his throat and muttered with a feared, gritted teethed expression, ''This is bad...very bad.''

In the darkened, solar eclipsed sky, Chthon bowed his head slightly and closed his eyes, an evil smirk still on his face. Not even a moment has passed when he suddenly shot his dark eyes open...staring straight down at the ten ponies.

"H-He's...he's looking right at us!'' Pinkie Pie shrieked, the usual smiling, laughing party animal pony panicking and she wasn't the only ones.

Seeing what Chthon just did to Chrysalis, who knew what he would do to them. Celestia and Luna immediately took defensive stances, extending their wings with Celestia's left wing and Luna's right crossing in front of Quentin and their subjects, shielding them as the two princesses gave Chthon an aggressive frown with gritted teeth. Chthon's unholy red eyes scanned them, but when his gaze fell upon Celestia and Luna, his smile faded into a dark, deathly, grimace, and he snarled menacingly.

"What in dear lord's name are we going to do?!'' Rarity asked terrified.

"You all will stay here while we handle this,'' Celestia answered darkly, not taking her eyes off the evil lord.

"What?!'' Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Quentin exclaimed in unison while Arcanus had a great pondering look upon his face.

"But Princess Celestia, you can't take Chthon on all on your own?!'' Twilight argued frantically.

Celestia peered over to her student. ''I won't be alone Twilight, Luna will be there with me.'' Celestia answered calmly to which Luna nodded firmly.

"Beggin yur pardon Princess, but you must be outta yur apple-pickin minds ta take 'em on!'' Applejack challenged.

Celestia closed her eyes and sighed deeply, ''I appreciate your concerns my little ponies, but this is a battle I won't allow you to fight.''

Celestia's answer puzzled the bearers as Luna continued, ''My sister is right. Given Chthon's history with the Stallion-Above-the-Stars, we feel it is our duty to do battle with this evil.''

"Chthon's history...with the Stallion-Above-the-Stars? But what does that have to do with anything?!'' Twilight asked, trying with all her might to stop her mentor and Luna.

"Twilight's right! Did you see what he did to Chrysalis...she didn't stood a chance!'' Quentin added.

The last thing Quentin wanted was to see any of his friends to be harmed or killed, and that included Luna. The beautiful princes of the night gazed at the stallion with a faint, but fond smile as she placed a hoof over his cheek.

"Dear Quentin. I will gladly fight to protect my subjects…and you as well.''

"Luna...'' Quentin muttered, a hint of shock in his voice for he was touched by Luna's remark.

"Come, let's go Luna,'' Celestia said seriously. Arcanus, please look after them.''

Arcanus nodded with an understood frown, "With my life...''

"No!'' Twilight shouted. "I won't let you fight him alone.''

"Twilight we must. You and your friends possesses the Elements of Harmony. You must be protected for you are the last line of defense!'' Celestia argued in that regal tone of hers.

"Yeah but...'' Rainbow Dash began sadly, but before she could finish, Celestia's horn glowed as a dome of golden energy covered them all and for some reason, the group couldn't move a muscle.

"Wh-what's going on?!'' Quentin asked, trying to move. It was like being frozen solid but without the freezing cold.

"It's...some sort of...binding spell...'' Twilight explained, fighting to move and grunting.

As the seven all tried to escape the spell, Arcanus too was caught, but he didn't even try to struggle and just stood there with a somber expression. Celestia's face fell in regret, but she then looked at Luna with a serious gaze and they both nodded and proceeded towards the altar.

"No...Princess...Celestia..." Twilight pleaded, but her mentor and her sister kept walking away, there was nothing she or anyone could do.

It wasn't long until the two regal sisters walked upon the stone alter and gazed up into the eclipsed sky and unto Chthon, still giving then a deathly glare and they instantly gritted their teeth and shuddered violently.

"Such power...such malevolence...I've never sense such pure evil before!'' Celestia remarked darkly.

"Yes Celestia, I think my whole body will go numb from just the feeling alone! It's like a terrible, overpowering might that will crush us if we let our guard down!'' Luna agreed with a deep glare.

Suddenly, Chthon fired another beam of dark red and black energy from his eyes. The attack went at lightning speed as it zig sagged downward towards the princesses but before it could hit them, the two quickly flew out of the way and in the air in different directions, the attack hitting the ground and causing a rather big, red explosion. The force of the explosion blew back Celestia and Luna, but they quickly recovered.

"Ugh...that was close!'' Celestia thought, but Chthon suddenly teleported behind her.

Celestia bumped into him and quickly whipped around with an alarmed expression. "Yes...it's been so long since I gazed upon a face full of fear,'' Chthon chuckled darkly.

Celestia frowned, ''I am not afraid of you, demon!'' Celestia retorted.

She fired a golden beam of energy from her horn right at Chthon, but instead of colliding with him, it went straight through him. "W-what?!'' Celestia gawked in shock and disbelief.

Chthon said nothing, just leered at Celestia when he quickly gave her a back hand slap across the face. Despite being a slap, it was a strong one, and it sent Celestia screaming out as she rocketed towards and crashed into a pillar. The Twilight, Quentin, and the rest gasped in horror at the sight of the kind princess being attacked.

"Celestia!'' Luna shouted as she flew quickly to her sister's side as Celestia began to slide down from the pillar.

However, Celestia was able to catch herself and hovered into the air, wincing and grunting in pain. "Celestia are thou alright?'' Luna asked, greatly concerned for her elder sister.

"Ugh...yes Luna I'm fine,'' Celestia said with a grunt." I can't believe that a simple slap would be so powerful.''

Luna sharply whipped her head towards Chthon and seethed, ''Thou will pay for- ARHG!'' Luna was abruptly cut off as Chthon suddenly teleported in front of them and grabbed Celestia and Luna by their throats, his hands easily wrapped around their necks completely.

Celestia and Luna both choked and gasped for breath and tried to pry Chthon's grip off, but it was futile against the deity's mighty grip.

"Princess Celestia...Luna...''Twilight said through gritted teeth, still trying to break free to help her mentor.

The two sisters continued to gasp for breath as Chthon began to rise higher into the air, his four, large wings flapping steadily.

"So...the universe brought me not one but two Alicorns, the rarest and most powerful of the species of this world,'' Chthon began, evil and coldness in his dark voice.

Celestia and Luna only responded with wincing glares to the God. "But to be fortuitous to be facing the likes of you two, I must say I'm not impressed. Especially given your...heritage Celestia...Luna.''

Celestia and Luna's eyes widened with bewilderment. "How… do you know our names...ugh?'' Celestia demanded, still fighting for breath.

"There is nothing in this universe that is beyond my knowledge,'' Chthon smirked.

Luna grunted as she retorted, ''Well know this relic, somehow you will be stopped!''

At this Chthon gave off a bone chilling laugh before he replied, ''That's not what my vision is telling me.''

Chthon then suddenly spun upward, taking Celestia and Luna with him and he stopped before giving a powerful punch to Celestia's face and an equally powerful kick to Luna's abdomen with his cloven foot, sending them flying in different directions. Celestia and Luna both cried out in pain as they fell and crashed painfully onto the ground, rolling and hitting some of the boulders that littered the area. Luna clutched her belly as she coughed violently. That one kick left her breathless. It felt like she would be sick at any moment. Cuts and bruised were visible on her body due to the crash and contact with the various boulders, blood seeping from her wounds. Celestia wasn't any better. Like her sister, she too had cuts and bruises throughout her body which blood came from. She spat out a couple shots of blood as blood tricked down from her mouth.

With a dark, wicked smirk, Chthon raised both claws, arms bent to his sides when sudden a ball of crimson red energy with black, blade like aura disks spinning around each of them appeared just a few inches above his palms. After finishing charging his attack, the dark lord then threw both balls at each of the injured princesses. The attacks were approaching each sister fast, the disks rapidly spinning around each ball as if a duo of razor saws were coming upon Celestia and Luna.

On the ground, Celestia and Luna both peered upwards and their eyes shot open in alarm at the site of Chthon's attacks coming towards them. Before each of them could react, the attack hit their targets, causing a rather massive, red explosion in the small area where each of them had landed. The force of the explosion caused powerful gust of winds as the aftershock came. Quentin and his friends pinched their eyes shut and screamed as they tried to stand strong against the gust, still froe by Celestia's spell.

After what seemed like forever, the explosion finally died down as did the winds. Quentin, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Arcanus recovered from the aftershock, though still frozen in their spots.

"W-what happened?!'' Fluttershy asked in distress.

Twilight instantly glazed at the direction were the explosions were, a gratuitous amount of black smoke rising into the skies from the destroyed areas. Immediately, Twilight's heart stopped at the place where her mentor was at where the explosions occurred.

"N-No…Princess Celestia….Princess Luna!''

"What happened to them? Where are they?'' Quentin asked frantically, worried for Celestia and his new friend Luna.

In the skies, Chthon's dark eyes scanned the two, smoke spewing areas. Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light and Chthon gazed upwards slowly to see Celestia and Luna, hovering in the air with dark glares. Seeing this, Twilight and her friends watched on in shock at the duo's survival.

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna…they're alright!'' Twilight cried out in relief.

"Oh my…thank heavens!'' Rarity sighed, happy and relieved at the regal sister's safety.

Chthon leered at the sisters coldly as he spoke, "So…you've managed to survive.''

"We shall not fall so easily Chthon. You will never harm any pony as long as we're here!'' Luna retorted aggressively.

At this, Chthon chuckled darkly,'' Is that so little pony? It appears you don't have any comprehension of who I am.''

Celestia's glare deepened as she responded, ''And you don't have any idea who WE are. So prepare to face defeat Chthon!'' Celestia than turned to her sister. "Luna…NOW!''

Luna said nothing, just nodded firmly. She and Celestia then closed their eyes as their horns began to glow billowing auras, Celestia's a golden color and Luna's a cobalt blue.

Together, their glows became brighter and brighter, the golden and cobalt blue eventually expanding and joining together to create an intense light the shone in the skies. The light was so strong the frozen ponies on the ground had to pinch their eyes shut from the blinding display. Chthon however, seemed unfazed by the light, and merely furrowed his dark eyes as he leered at the two sisters. Finally after what seemed like forever, the golden blue light retracted briefly before bursting in all directions in the darkened skies, sending a golden blue wave that passed through Chthon, causing his mane and ponytail to wave wildly in the gust of wind it produced.

Just as quickly the light started, it quickly subsided. Quentin and his friends slowly peered their eyes opened. Though blurry at first, their vision quickly came into view as it was safe enough for their eyes to see.

"W-what the hay was that?!'' Rainbow Dash asked loudly, blinking her eyes from the blurred vision.

Before anyone could answer, they all looked upward into the sky where their eyes widened greatly as their mouths dropped at what they were now seeing. The light had died away to reveal Celestia and Luna, but unlike before, they both underwent a drastic transformation. Celestia was now clad in a golden armor. It appeared that the armored necklace she usually wore around her neck grew and now covered her back and flanks with golden plate armor as golden pauldrons covered her shoulders. Golden plated of armor appeared on the knees of her forelegs and back as a matching, gold helmet was now donned on her head that seemed to have combined with her crown, causing the points of the crown to become the upper parts of the helmet. However, the most drastic, and obvious change was Celestia's mane, wings, and tail. Instead of the multicolored, sparkling mass that was once her hair and tail were now an explosive, fiery yellowish orange that danced wildly and continuously. The feather tips on her majestic wings flickered and danced, as if her wings themselves were also blazoned with flames. Along with all these changes, her eyes were now aglow with an ethereal, white light. The princess of the sun hovered in the air, as if she was a warrior that was born from the very sun itself had arrived from a higher plane.

Luna, like her sister, had also underwent a shocking change. Like her older sister, Luna was now clad in armor. However unlike Celestia's, Luna's armor was black as the night she creates. Another difference was that the armored necklace that Luna wore had now extended only over her shoulders and around her neck, with the crescent moon symbol pointed downward. The points of her shoes have rose upward and stopping just over her mid legs, giving off the appearance of sparkling, armored boots. On her head was a black, round helmet, curving around her eyes with a strip of metal running down and stopped just above her nostrils. On the center of the helmet was an opening for her horn with a white, slightly curved blade protruding just under her horn. Luna's mane was now styled in a ponytail, but was flowing wildly with a bluish purple aura as was her tail and wings. Like Celestia, her eyes were now aglow with an otherworldly white light as she hovered in the air alongside her powerful sister.

There they hovered in the air, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna of Equestria in gleaming armor and blazed manes as if goddesses had just descended from the very heavens to face the chaos lord. Quentin, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie stared at the two rulers, speechless and in awe. Despite their fiercer, battle warrior appearances, there was no doubt a sense of majesty that emanated from both of them. Arcanus however, didn't look so surprised, but still had an expression of impressment.

"W-what in the name of Chiron? Princess Celestia…Princess Luna…'' Rarity began, astonished at the two regal sisters new appearance.

"Twilight…I've-I've never seen anythin' like it!'' Applejack commented in awe.

Twilight shook her head slowly, not taking her eyes off of her mentor and Luna. "Neither did I! I've never seen the princess like this before!''

"That…is…badass…'' Rainbow Dash commented in an amazed tone.

"My word…to think I would live to see my former students in their heightened forms once again,'' Arcanus spoke calmly.

This statement, caused the others to look at the aged unicorn quizzically.

"Wait you mean…you've seen them like this before?!'' Quentin asked, surprised.

Arcanus nodded,'' Yes I have. What you see now is the result of Celestia and Luna's powers unbound by any restraints. They are in the supreme levels that only they as Alicorns can achieve. Their powers now even surpass my own.''

The group stared at Arcanus in awe and wonder as they gazed up at the two powerful rulers of Equestria as Arcanus finished. "What we are about to witness…is a battle between a triad of gods.''

Chthon seemed neither fazed nor impressed. He just kept leering coldly at the two powerful Alicorns as their glowing white eyes glared back into his dark, unholy ones. Seconds turned to minutes as the Celestia, Luna, and Chthon stared each other down. Finally after what seemed like hours, Celestia and Luna suddenly disappeared. Before Chthon could even perform a gesture of any kind, he was suddenly blasted upwards by a rather massive beam of golden energy as Celestia had suddenly appeared beneath him. Chthon's eyes were pinched shut as he gritted his teeth while he rocketed upwards in the solar eclipsed skies. The evil god probably rose a few thousand feet in the air when Luna suddenly appeared a few ways above him. With a cry, Luna's horn quickly glowed a brilliant cobalt blue before she too released a massive beam of blue energy, hitting Chthon.

Just as quickly as he was fired into the air, Chthon was now descending back down into the ground at an astonishing fast speed as he was engulfed in the beam. It wasn't even a minute, before Luna's attack brought Chthon and he collided into the earth, a wave of blue energy spread out in all directions briefly before disappearing. The earth shook violently, causing the seven friends to scream in their places as the force destroyed several of the crude constructs that stood in the area of the impact. The force of the impact was truly one of great power as the beam pushed Chthon into the ground on impact, taking him down into a massive and deep tunnel into the earth. The attack had at last ended as the beam of energy dissipated, leaving Chthon sprawled at the bottom of the deep tunnel, the light of the opening only a small, glowing dot above him.

Celestia and Luna reappeared together in the skies as they glared down at the gigantic tunnel that was now created from their assaults, smoke rising from the open. As the shockwave ended, Quentin and the others peered opened their eyes as they gazed around speechlessly at what the princesses had just done. They saw that Chthon was nowhere to be found and Fluttershy asked astonished.

"W-What…just happened?''

No one answered her. They were still in shock and disbelief at the power Celestia and Luna had just displayed. Deep down at the bottom of the tunnel, Chthon's eyes opened and gazed up at the little ball of light that was the tunnel's opening above him. He then slowly began to rise up as rubble rolled off his body. Finally Chthon's was standing on his feet, his eyes gazed upwards in a clam, dark glare. Despite the powerful attacks, Chthon had no signs of injury on his body. In fact, he didn't have so much as a cut.

"So…this is the power of the sun and moon's children…''

Chthon's four mighty wings then sprang apart and began to flap steadily as he began to rise from the ground. Celestia and Luna hovered high in the air, their manes flickering wildly as they casted their glowing eyes down at the smoke spewing hole. At last they winced slightly as they saw Chthon rise from the smoke and towards the sky. Almost immediately, Celestia and Luna then suddenly began to glow, Celestia a golden color while Luna a deep blue.

"Luna…we can't let him have even a second of an opening to attack!'' Celestia spoke to her sister as she continued to glow.

Luna nodded and responded, "Yes sister. Let us use all our skills and power we've learned in our lives millennium…and defeat this wretched demon!''

As the two regal sisters continued to glow, they suddenly fired themselves right at Chthon at lightning speed. Again Chthon had no time to evade and in a blink of an eye, Chthon was caught in a plethora of attacks from the princesses. Quentin and the others stared upwards in frozen wonder in disbelief as they witnessed the spectacle that was occurring from overhead. In a blink of an eye, Celestia and Luna caught Chthon in a series of expeditious attacks as they continuously slashed through, each one faster than the last. As they attacked, large beams of crystallized golden and cobalt blue lights appeared around Chthon as his body violently rocked and contorted from the duo's relentless onslaught. Finally after what seemed like an eternity of never ending light and slashes, Celestia and Luna suddenly appeared distances above Chthon, the crystallized beams of light still showing and appearing to continually damage the evil lord.

Celestia and Luna gritted their teeth as they brought their horns together. Almost instantly a bright light shown from their combined horns only to become brighter and more intense as a golden and blue aura burst around them. With every passing second, the aura became bigger and even wilder, like flames that had a life and a mind of its own. Suddenly with a cry from Celestia and Luna, the aura burst enormously from around them as a bright light erupted in turn. The seven ponies cried out in shock as they once again squeezed their eyes shut from the intense light that lit up the heavens. The light was brief, and it soon died down. Twilight and the rest peered opened their eyes only to let out gasps and short cries.

In the place of where Celestia and Luna were hovering, the eight ponies were now gazing at a gigantic spectral entity. The construct was in the form of a mighty Alicorn. It was glowing white and had four, massive wings, with the second layer of feathers glowing a dark blue. Its mane and tail were flowing and flickering as they glowed with the combined colors of Celestia and Luna's usual mane colors as a large horn protruded from its forehead and its eyes aglow with white light.

As the last of the crystallize light disappeared and ended their damage to Chthon, he opened his dark eyes and leered at the new entity as he clenched his teeth. The new spectral construct gazed at Chthon and when it looked like Chthon was about to perform an attack, it quickly dashed forward at him with extreme speed. The speed of the attack was so great, the space within the immediate vicinity of entity became distorted, making any and all hopes of Chthon making a counterattack impossible. In a flash, the entity impaled its mighty horn straight through Chthon as it rocketed towards the ground at a frightening speed away from the ponies still frozen in their places. It wasn't long until the giant, Alicorn goddess struck the ground, with Chthon along with it and a mighty, dome, white-blue explosion erupted from the impact. The ground shook powerfully, as if it was threatening to break apart. Powerful winds blew from the explosion, blasting away nearby debris and stone statues as the ponies cried in terror, unable to do anything, but pinched their eyes shut while the golden dome still surrounded them.

The dome explosion soon disappeared, though the violent earthquake and winds still continued powerfully. In a flash of light, Celestia and Luna appeared in the skies, their armor ever glistening. However, the two princesses were breathing heavily, sweat dripping from their faces. Their wildly, flickering manes were becoming steadily calmer and more restful as if a mighty inferno was losing its flames as it started to die down. Away among the destroyed area, a crater formed from the resulting explosion as smoke still rose from it. As the smoke began to clear, an image of a figure was becoming clearer and clearer until finally the clear visual of a mangled Chthon was shown.

Celestia's and Luna's attack had done what it had intended to do, for Chthon was far beyond recognition and was now in a grotesque position after receiving the earth shattering attack. Chthon laid with his back against the wall of the crater. The left side of his body had numerous and large patches of skin missing, revealing nothing but bone. His left ribcage was fully visible, the bones slanting in a sickly position while his heart and entrails could be perfectly seen. The left side of his face was horribly disfigured. Skin was missing from the left side of his mouth, revealing nothing but his sharp, canine like teeth along with traces of his jawline and tendons. His eyes, it was as if his eyeballs had dissolved or disintegrated from the attack, for they were completely blackened with black smoke emanating from them. What was probably the most disturbing and skin shuddering appearance about Chthon's now mangled body was that his left side was completely destroyed. There was nothing except a smoking, sizzling wound. Chthon laid there, motionless…lifeless as he laid in the large crater.

The winds and the earthquake finally had died down. Quentin, Applejack, Twilight, and the rest finally opened their eyes as quietness came over the ruins, save for the winds that blew. They looked around shockingly, cautiously as they looked around the crude ruins.

"What…in thunderation….'' Applejack began speechlessly.

As they continued to look around, Quentin's eyes gazed upwards in the skies as his gaze fell upon the heavily breathing sisters. "Look! In the sky!'' Quentin spoke up.

The other too shifted their gazed up at Celestia and Luna as their manes continued to die down. "D-Did anypony else just see what I saw?!'' Rarity asked in a state of shock and disbelief.

"Why I saw it, but I still don't believe it!'' Applejack answered, staring at the regal sister.

"W-What power. I knew Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were powerful, but that…that was on an entirely different level!'' Twilight spoke in shocked awe, staring at her mentor.

Amongst all of them, Arcanus seemed to be the calmest, though he still seemed to have a sense of impressed expression. "By the Great Stallion…perhaps they've more powerful than I thought.''

"W-wait. What happened to Chthon?'' Fluttershy asked alarmed.

It was then that her six other friends noticed the absence of the chaos god. "H-He's gone! I don't see a trace of him!'' Rarity spoke with a surprised tone.

"So…does that mean he's gone? Did we win?'' Fluttershy asked meekly, but hopefully.

Arcanus bowed his head slightly as he responded. "That last attack Celestia and Luna just performed was their strongest technique. I highly doubt anything of this world could survive it. So…''

"So in other words, Celestia and Luna just kicked Chthon's sorry ass. YEAH!'' Rainbow Dash exclaimed happily, though she was still bound by Celestia's spell.

At this outburst, her friends broke out into joyous chatter. Though they were still frozen, they didn't care at the moment. They had won the battle.

"We did it! We did it! I am SO gonna throw the biggest party when we get back home!'' Pinkie Pie announced happily.

Fluttershy and Rarity sighed in relief and happiness as Rarity spoke, "Thank heavens, it's finally over.''

Twilight beamed up at her exhausted teacher and her sister. Quentin and Applejack smiled up at the two Alicorns and then at each other. They wanted to embrace one another, but the spell prevented them so. However, that did not prevent them from giving each other fond, tender smiles. Up in the skies, Celestia and Luna continued to breathe heavily, their eyes still glowing as their manes continued to become calmer. Then in a flash of light, Celestia and Luna had reverted back to their original forms. No longer did the two have armor on, just their regular royal shoes, tiaras, and armored necklaces and their manes and tails back to their sparkling, self-moving states.

Immediately upon re-entering their formal selves, Celestia and Luna almost fell from the skies, but instantly caught themselves as they remained airborne. They struggled to hover steadily, often dipping from side to side. They looked as if they would pass out at any moment, but still they managed to do so. They tiredly gazed over where the crater and the dead Chthon was out with stern frowns when finally they both breathed out deeply and looked at each other. At first they gazed exhaustedly at one another, but they then smiled tiredly with satisfied nods.

"Never…would I imagine…that we would face a crisis that would force us to use that level of power. And to even go as far as to use the Tau Sunflare…'' Luna spoke in between heavy breathes.

Celestia nodded as she breathed, "As did I Luna. But it was necessary…if we wished to avoid this catastrophe.''

"Yes…it was. Maybe now we can finally rest in peace.'' Luna said with a tired smile.

Celestia smiled wearily at her younger sister and nodded. "Yes Luna…at long last, it is over.''

"Please say that you jest,'' a dark, demonic voice suddenly spoke out.

Instantly Celestia and Luna froze in their places, looks of horror and shock upon their faces. Suddenly, powerful claws ensnared their necks as they were lifted upward and caught in the strong grip of Chthon. Instantly, the seven friends and Arcanus gasped in terror as they saw Chthon choking the two sisters from behind. What shocked them even more was the fact Chthon didn't had so much as a scratch on him. His limbs were restored and his wounds were healed.

"W-What?! How could this…how…'' Twilight stammered in fear and alarm as she witnessed the God of Chaos' sudden return.

''Impossible! Nopony could've possibly survived an attack of that magnitude!'' Arcanus spoke with a shocked tone in his voice.

"A-and just look at him! He doesn't even look remotely injured!'' Rarity added in disbelief.

Quentin, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash stared on in distressed, unable to speak in such a situation. Fluttershy began to shake slightly as she whimpered. "W-What are we going to do?!''

Chthon tightened his grip around Celestia and Luna's necks, causing them to gag out and gasped for breath. Celestia was able to turn her head slightly and spoke as she choked. "How…could you…possibly be alive? T-That…was our most…powerful attack!''

Chthon chuckled darkly as he responded, ''Poor, pitiful little ponies. Did you honestly, truly believe that you could harm the likes of me?''

Luna turned he head slightly and peered over at Chthon, the same look of bewildered horror Celestia had. "B-but…we left you no room…or chance…for you…to attack or defend!''

"I exist on a higher plane far beyond your pathetic powers. So allow me to respond to you full power and demonstrate the frightening power of a true god,'' Chthon answered with a sort of a dark, rolling growl.

Before Celestia or Luna could react, a powerful, dark red and black beam of energy erupted from Chthon's claws, sending both princess firing down towards the earth. The two screamed out in pain until finally they both hit the ground as an explosion erupted from the impact, sending the two scattering in different directions. The watching ponies cried out in horror as Celestia and Luna rolled violently, crashing through statues and debris before finally coming to a stop.

"Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!'' Twilight exclaimed in terror as the sisters laid on the ground briefly before trying to weakly stand up.

The princesses of the sun and moon truly suffered from their attacks. Their bodies were more bruised and they suffered even more cuts which oozed blood staining their majestic bodies. Their billowing manes were now more unkempt as light smoke rose from their sizzling bodies.

There the rest of the ponies were frozen and helpless from Celestia's binding spell as they looked on in horror. "I've...I've never seen the princesses so beat up before,'' Rarity uttered with shock and sadness.

"No...'' Twilight muttered, on the verge of tears as she saw Celestia struggled to get up.

"This is horrible, I don't know how long they can last,'' Fluttershy whimpered she too looking like she was about to cry.

"Celestia...Luna...'' Quentin spoke softly to himself, gritting his teeth as he looked at Luna struggling to get up.

Luna grunted in pain as she tried to stand up on all fours. "You look like you're in tremendous pain,'' Chthon spoke up.

Luna shot her eyes open and looked up to see the God had teleported in front of her. '' I would be happy to help ease you of the pain,'' Chthon said mockingly.

Luna growled and tried to lunge at him, only to be punched with a powerful uppercut from Chthon and was flown into the air. Luna cried out as she flew into the air and when she reached about a hundred feet, Chthon appeared behind her and struck her back downward with a strong elbow strike to her back. Luna screamed as she plummeted and crashed back down into the ground.

"Luna!'' Celestia screamed out to her sister.

Luna went limp for a moment, motionless before she started to shift her body, grunting in pain as she did so.

With all her strength, Celestia flew as fast as she could to her younger sister. But she didn't make it halfway to her before a pillar of earth erupted from the ground beneath her and with a scream, she was rocketed into the air on the pillar. Chthon, with one hand ablaze with a deep crimson and black energy, had manipulated the earth and was motioning it upwards into the sky. After reaching a high altitude, the pillar stopped rising, with Celestia resting on its surface weakly shifting in the uncomfortably position. Chthon flew downward and stopped right in front of Celestia, his hand still ablaze.

"What's the matter Celestia? Your Alicorn powers aren't' giving you the results they did throughout your long lifespan?'' Chthon mocked with a dark chuckle.

Celestia glared at Chthon, with one eye half shut and growled. Chthon raised an eyebrow and looked over his shoulder and down at Luna, who was now struggling to get up. Chthon turned back to Celestia and smirked.

''You don't have to worry about Luna. I'm about to end her suffering momentarily.''

"Demon...I will not allow you to do any more harm to my sister. Do you hear me Chthon!'' Celestia spat at the god.

Chthon laughed, ''I'm afraid you don't have a choice in the matter. But fear not, you will soon join your sister.'' Chthon's smirk then fell into one of dark disgust. "Pitiful. I expected more of a challenge from demigods such as yourself and Luna. Compared to Chrysalis I was actually excited to face you two. Though you do have more power than my pawn, compared to mine...you're just fodder like the rest of these mortals.''

Celestia responded by spitting right in Chthon's face. "I care not for what powers you have Chthon, just know that somehow you will be stopped!'' Celestia seethed.

Chthon just leered at her, unflinching by the spit on his face. Suddenly the spit started to dissolve from his face with a sizzling sound until it disappeared. Chthon then extended his arms and took hold of Celestia by the wings in the midsection and lifted her off the pillar, collapsing back to the ground in rubble.

Celestia struggled to fight her way out of Chthon's clutches, but as she was about to fire a spell from her horn, Chthon made a quick gesture with his claws and snapped Celestia's wings in half with a sickening snap sound, instantly breaking them. Celestia let out a piercing scream of pain that rang out over the heavens. Her screams reached the binded group of eight, causing them to cringe. Quentin had never heard a scream like that before in his life and it was clear his friends had never heard such a scream in theirs.

"Dear lord...'' Arcanus spoke horrified. Though he wanted to honor Celestia's request to stay and keep us protected, seeing his formal students enduring such brutal attacks caused him to want to join in the battle.

"C-Celes...tia...'' Luna muttered through gritted teach as she tried with all her might to stand.

Celestia let out another cry, the pain excruciating. Chthon had broken her wings at a sickening angle, parts of her beautiful white feathers now had small splatters of blood on them. Celestia gritted her teeth and winced in pain, tears beginning to form in her eyes.

"That would do some good and teach you how to show respect in the presence of a God,'' Chthon said degradingly.

Celestia winced at Chthon and growled, ''I gave the respect you deserve...NONE!''

Chthon said nothing, just calmly glared at Celestia and brought one hand down and the other hand around her neck, her wings now gone limp. Now in terrible pain and choking, Celestia attempted one last effort to attack the evil deity. Her eyes and horn began to glow a brilliantly intense golden aura as she prepared to use a strong spell. Before Celestia could fire, Chthon quickly brought his free claw and wrapped it around her horn, completely concealing it within his grasp, just right as Celestia fired her spell. Celestia pinched her eyes shut and cried out as her spell was enclosed in Chthon's grasp. A golden light shone through his fingers as white electricity cracked around his hand until suddenly a golden explosion erupted.

Chthon took his claw from around Celestia's horn, smoking but was not painful to him. Celestia's horn was now heavily singed and smoking with small sparks and crackles of electricity. By this time, Celestia's entire body was in bad shape. Her body was cut, bruised, and bloodied with patches of grim throughout. Her beautiful, ever flowing mane was even more unkempt and singed slightly at the top while her wings were broken and motionless. Celestia hung there in Chthon's grip, blood trickling down her mouth and right nostril. Twilight and the rest didn't know if she was unconscious or worst.

"She's not moving! Why isn't the princess moving?!'' Rarity exclaimed in a panic.

"Princess Celestia...'' Twilight muttered, tears forming in her eyes. "She can't be...''

As if to answer the question, Celestia coughed, still trying to get breath. "Aww...what a shame. Judging by the impact if gave on yourself, that seemed to have been a very powerful spell. Not that it would've affected me,'' Chthon commented with an insulting tone.

Celestia peered at Chthon through one eye and growled, ''Go to hell wretch!''

Chthon chuckled darkly to himself. "After everything you've endured, you still learned nothing. But no matter, I have something especially special for you. And suffering will be your teacher.''

Before Celestia could react, Chthon suddenly thrust his free claw straight into Celestia's abdomen. Again Celestia screamed out in terrible pain, blood pouring out from the wound and around Chthon's claw. Quentin, his friends, and Arcanus all gasped and cried out, Rarity and Fluttershy shrieking in horror. Celestia writhed in pain at Chthon's inflicting wound. He dug his hand deeper, causing the princess to cry out in pain again. After a moment, Celestia began to cough out large amounts of blood. Chthon just watched her, a sadistic smirk on his face, loving every minute of Celestia writhing in pain.

"It's time I finished this futile competition.''

Celestia coughed out blood again and glared weakly at Chthon. "What...ugh...whatever dark motives...you have Chthon...they will fail. Ugh...know that you will be stopped...''

Chthon leered darkly at Celestia and spoke menacingly. "What I know is that it will not be by you.''

With that, Chthon's claw glowed an evil, reddish black glow as Celestia was suddenly engulfed in a crimson red aura, completely in Chthon's control. Celestia grunted and pinched her eyes shut in pain as she slid out of Chthon's hand and floated a few feet in front of him. Chthon raised a hand in front of Celestia to prepare for a finishing attack when suddenly large bolts of blue lightning fired in between then. Chthon turned his head to his right to see that it was Luna who was the source of the attack. She had a furious look on her face, a look she hadn't wore since Chrysalis almost killed Quentin and her eyes were glowing white and her horn a brilliant cobalt blue aura.

"RELIC! LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!'' Luna bellowed, the winds strengthen greatly.

Luna fired another massive bolt of lightning at Chthon, but he evaded it. Luna fired again and again Chthon dodged. Finally, Luna channeled all of her energy into a one last massive bolt of lightning and it hit Chthon directly, electricity covering him. However, it had absolutely no effect on him, not damaging him in the least. With a deep frown, Chthon raised his other claw and it was engulfed in red and black aura. Almost instantly, Luna's attack stopped and she pinched her eyes shut and grunted as she too was engulfed in a red aura.

The eight ponies gasped in terror as Luna too came trapped in Chthon's power. Under his control, Chthon gestured his hand and Luna floated next to her sister. The two regal sisters grunted and struggled to escape, but couldn't move a muscle. Chthon gave then one last, cold, dark glare, his unholy red eyes on the two Alicorns and spoke.

''Now disappear... into oblivion.''

Chthon clutched his fists closed. Almost instantly, Celestia and Luna grunted and cried out as if in tremendous pain when they became enclosed in a crimson red ball of energy, with two black eclipses forming around it, taking on the atom model appearance just like Chrysalis. Suddenly the moment came when the two orbs and eclipses finally imploded in a brief red light. The light quickly faded and when it was gone, Celestia and Luna were nowhere to be found...like Chrysalis meeting the same fate by the God of Chaos.

Back on the ground, the eight ponies all just stared upward in fear, terror, and disbelief, their mouths hanging open at what they had just witnessed.

"No...No...'' Twilight began before tears gushed from her eyes and she screamed. "NOOOOO!''

The golden dome Celestia had made around them suddenly faded, freeing them of its binding. Before Twilight could race out of the group, Arcanus' horn was engulfed in a bluish white aura and in a flash of light, they were gone. Chthon hovered in the air, his four, large wings steadily flapping, his white, tight ponytail blowing in the wind as he scanned the area from high above.

''Finally, after millennia so many of being imprisoned in stone...I am now free to exact my cataclysmic will upon this world once again. Though I have been locked away for a painfully many years, I will not change for the world, rather the world will change for me to suit my vision.''

Chthon spoke as he gazed at the solar eclipse. Suddenly in a flash of light, he was surrounded by red sphere of energy, black electricity surging and crackling intensely from it as he brought his claws forward and looked down at them.

"The skies shall breath fire...the oceans shall boil...and the earth shall be bathed with the blood of its mortal pusses. The era of light and harmony shall end and the era of darkness and chaos shall begin, by my will. This world, this reality shall fall before me in a blink of an eye. Thus saith Lord Chthon: the God of Chaos!'' Chthon bellowed out his last words.

As he did, he clutched his claws closed before bringing then in and then flinging his arms outstretched. Instantly, the red sphere of energy quickly expanded in a fiery wave throughout the heaven's and the earth. The wave quickly expanded and covered the ruins, then the badlands, and finally throughout the lands, seemingly incinerating everything in its path. It wasn't long before the red, fiery wave of destruction spread out and engulfed the entire planet, drastically changing and reshaping it in Chthon's image. The once beautiful world of Equion was now a burning, fiery red planet.
