Round Two

The battle between Midnight and Nova only intensified and every blow they dealt to each other shook Equestria itself. While everypony else wonders what is happening?

“I can’t take this anymore we need to help him Now!!!” Twilight shouted as she was about to take flight, but before she could a group of hooded figures appeared before them.

"Well, well, well, this is an unexpected surprise. I never thought that their would be another Alicorn besides the three Princesses. Hmm... quite interesting." The hooded figure said with a smirk and Twilight only shivered in fear of this dark figure.

"Master? I'm getting bored can't I go find that hybrid and end this already?" The other hooded figure asked.

"Now hold on a second? What do you want with Nova?" Skyress asked.

"Oh well if it isn't my old friend....Skyress I haven't seen you since the battle of Kastoria and you certainly have changed hehehe!." He chuckled.

Wait I know that voice

Soon Skyress's eyes widened in fear as she realized an old foe of both her Nova's has returned.

"Who is he Skyress?" Twilight asked.

"No it can't be?" Was all she could say.

"Oh but it is Skyress." The hooded figure said as he threw his cloak off, to reveal a black dragon with a silver metallic arm and a silver mask covering most of its face. Everypony that had been watching were shocked to the the figures appearance.

"For those who don't know me I am Darkus, prince of the Insurrection remnant and future ruler of Equestria and your doom. HAHAHA!!!

"No this can't be real your suppose to be dead!" Skyress said with anger.

"Well I can assure you that I am very much alive and more powerful than ever before." He said.

"Well I say you get lost you varmints if you know what's good for ya?!!" Applejack shouted as she stepped in followed by her brother Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, Soarin, and Thunderlane. But Darkus and his group only laughed.

"Oh it's cute that you think you stand even the slightest chance against me and my men. Even my weakest soldier here would barely have to lift a finger just to fight all of you." Darkus chuckled.

"They are lot stronger than you think Darkus and might I add I'm here with them. So I suggest you leave before somepony gets hurt." Skyress smirked causing Darkus frown in response.

"Hmm... true but if I remember correctly you barely lasted a minute in combat with me. What makes this any different?" He asked as his confidence grew.

"Because this time I can transform." Skyress said, causing him to gasp. But just started laughing again.

"HAHAHA! You almost had me there. You are obviously joking Nova was the only one among you to transform and even if it were true you wouldn't stand a chance against me." But as soon as he said that the ground began to shake and a familiar power was felt.

"WHAT WHAT'S going on?" Was all he could ask as Skyress began to glow once again.

Soon everpony had their eyes set on Skyress as her body began to change. All of them gasped in surprise, but for Darkus all he felt was fear.

"Twilight what's happening?" Thunderlane asked as he watched Skyress transform.

"She's transforming in a dragon again?" She answered.

"What do you mean again?"

"Oh right you weren't their I'll explain later."

Fear had grasped his heart once again as images of Nova's dragon form reappeared. He soon started taking few steps back only one of the hooded Insurrects looked at him in confusion then returned his gaze back at Skyress.

"So this is the power of a hybrid. Interesting?" The hooded figure whispered to himself.

Soon Skyress transformation was complete and a pony no longer stood their only a majestic green Dragon with Yellow eyes stood in place. Darkus only stared in horror of her transformation. She had the same eyes as Nova.

"It's....those eyes.....she has the....the same eyes!" He shivered in fear as another image of Nova appeared, glaring at him from the past.

Darkus fear was soon replaced by hatred and anger as he glared at Skyress.

"So how do I look?" Skyress asked as she turned to her new friends.

"You look awesome!!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Soon the others started agreeing, causing her to blush but it soon fades as she turned her attention to Darkus and just smirked.

"What's wrong Darkus? You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU!!!" He yelled in rage as he blasted a fire ball from his paw.

Twilight soon put a magic barrier just in time as the blast made impact. While Darkus and his servants laughed. She returned fire by shooting a magic bolt at one of insurrects and sent him flying out of the city.

"You made a big mistake attacking this city Darkus as a princess it's my duty to protect Equestria and now you answer to me!" Twilight Shouted as her eyes began to glow purple and she shot a wave of magic beams at Darkus and the insurrects. Some of them fled in terror of Twilight's power only half of them remained.

"Grrr....cowards! Who needs them. I'll be sure to destroy you first Princess!" Darkus spat in disgust.

"I don't think so Darkus your fight is with me." Skyress stated but Twilight stepped in front of her.

"No you and the others take care of the remaining insurrectionists....I'll take of him."
