Tundras

Master Chief and Miller ran through the harsh snow towards the area where the Crystal Empire was positioned. As they approached the dome surrounding it they noticed the large cluster of dark grey clouds surrounding the shield. "That cannot be good." Chief said silently.

"It's King Sombra, we have to hurry!" Miller yelled as he began to pick up sped, using his tendrils to block the snow from hitting him. Chief didn't have a problem with the harsh weather due to his energy shield preventing any of the snow from actually impacting his body.

As they grew closer and closer to the shield they say a large amount of the dark clouds moving towards them. 'He's noticed us!' Eris stated with a hint of worry.

"Relax, we've got this." Chief reassured as he dodged a bolt of lightning.

Suddenly in the clouds, a pair of green eyes with dark red pupils appeared. They looked about for a second before their sights landed on the two running. It glared before the eyes glowed green and multiple black crystals began to form all around them. "Fantastic, as if the snow wasn't enough of an obstacle to run through." Miller groaned as he jumped pit of the way of a crystal.

Suddenly a large, sharp crystal shot out of the ground in front of Chief. He just positioned his shoulder and ram,ed through the rocks, shattering them and still being able to keep up his pace. Many more spikes came out if the ground in front of the pair, each of them either dodged, punched or rammed through.

Sombra growled in frustration before whispering something to himself. The ground around the shield began to glow red, large crystalic beast rising out from the various pentagrams engraved in the ground by the spell.

"What do we do about them?!" Miller asked as he ran alongside Chief.

Chief looked ahead at the small army of spikes and crystal golems before answering. "Just keep moving, we can deal with them later. Our priority is reaching the empire."

Miller nodded and kept running alongside Chief who had his fists ready to punch through the rocks and golems that got in his way.


Cystal Empire

A Nightmare was sent flying into a solid crystal wall, breaking through it and collapsing into an orb. Symbol grabbed the nearest Nightnares head and threw it into the ground before blasting it with a ball of fire. A Mimicker Nightmare changed to copy Symbols shape and powers before opening its claws and summoning a huge wall of dark purple fire. The other Mimickers joined in and kept adding to the flames until Symbol was completely surrounded.

He growled before holding his hand out and summoning a strong wind to blow out the flames. He then held out both hands with fire coating them. Soon the fire on his hands jumped off of his body and floated right next to him. The flames turned into two purple swords with flame patterns detailed info it.

He grabbed the two blades and motioned for the Nightmares to come at him, and so they did.

One after one the Nightmares charged or lunged forward, on,y to be mercilessly cut down buy the flaming blades. The Mimickers quickly caught on and summoned swords of their own. One charged and locked blades with Symbol, entering a battle of strength. The Mimicker began to swipe it's tendrils as Symbol who moved his body to avoid each attack, although he was helpless to avoid the barrage of tendrils and slashes coming from the many Nightmares behind him.

As the pain of the increasing wounds on his back grew, so dud his rage, causing his fire to burn brighter and hotter. "ENOUGH!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs begore sending an invisible force out across the area he was in, knocking all the Nightmares off of their feet. "I am sick and tired of you trying to corrupt my worlds, killing or possessing the people in them and your insistence of imitating me!"

Symbols right fist was already burning with fire, but now the flame was out of control it wa spurning so much.

Symbol jumped into the air begore throwing his right hand forward, throwing the fire towards the ground causing a large explosion of energy that shook the ground. As three Nightmares appeared behind him Symbol quickly turned around, grabbed tow of their heads and slammed them into the middle ones head. He then stabbed his fists through their chests causing them to retreat into their orbs, which he quickly destroyed.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash and the others focused on getting any normal ponies out of the area, having to leave the corrupted ones behind to ensure the safety of the civilians.

Symbol shot towards a large Nightmare Brute and went straight through its chest and out the other side causing it to form into an orb. Symbol turned and put up his fists, punching the head of a drone clean off.

A Mimicker then came up to him and punched him in the gut begore receiving a sword to the face.

With the amount of pain he was feeling with the multiple wounds Symbol added that negativity to his fire, causing it to have more of a shade of red in the purple. He clenched both fists in the middle of the hired that was fast approaching. He closed his eyes and summoned a large another of flames that surrounded him. When he opened his eyes he growled at the Nightmares surrounding him begore placing both hands on the ground.

"Gotcha..." He said simply before twitching. He clenched his fists tighter, causing his palms to bleed slightly. He smirked evilly before slamming hai fists into the ground and causing multiple pillars of fire to rise up out of the ground and tear up the Nightamares.

The pillars just kept shooting up out of the ground rapidly. If one were to fade out another tyre appeared and destroyed another Nightmare. To avoid completely drawing himself Symbol pulled away from the attack to perform one last technique to finish off the remaining few Nightmares. "Alright you freaks, kiss your pathetic lives goodbye!" He swiped his hand across the air and three purple projectiles with tails of light shot out of his back and curbed to target the Nightmares.

s the drones tried to teleport away or retreat into their orbs they were all killed. The final Nightmare roared in furry before being stabbed through the heart by the last projectile.

With one last sweep of fire, all the orbs were destroyed. Symbol fell to his knees as he gripped his chest with ragged breath, just having enough energy to reamin awake after the whole ordeal.
