Chapter 29

“The battle of the eternal night.”

Luna stood over a wasteland of lava and ruined earth her eyes were bright green flames that poured forth with her black armor and her mane now a green flame. The sky was black with ash and debris pouring from a nearby volcano. A river of lava was in the middle of the wasteland with only a natural narrow bridge of stone that spanned the river of lava and before it where Luna stood hundreds of chaos ponies huge black earth ponies with black manes, with dark armor and red eyes. Above them a swarm of Alicorn with grey coats and manes covered the sky with their dead grey eyes each one had the symbol of omega for their pupils. On Luna’s right was an alicorn with a black coat and a dark grey mane his eyes were pitch black and he wore black armor and he had large grey wings that spanned his body. His mark was the symbol of Omega. On Luna’s left was a black Earth pony but he was massive his body was built and he had a long straight red mane and tail his eyes were a dark green.

He wielded a giant battle-axe that is strapped to his back for a helmet he wore a skull of an alciorn over him and he then said, “So we only have seven coming? This is going to be a slaughter.”

The Alicorn then said, “Black Blood don’t forget we need Celestia alive she can’t die just yet.”

He spat then said, “Yeah Omega gave me the same message.”

Luna then said, “Void what about Pine? “

Void then said, “Omega will spare him still and like Celestia will be held in his tower until they embrace his new world.”

Black blood then said, “Luna you should consider changing your name now. Luna doesn’t suit you.”

She then said, “I have thought about it for to this day forth I’m nightmare moon.”

Void chuckled and said, “That has a nice ring to it.”

He looks over the valley then said “My father senses them their almost here.”

Nightmare moon flies into the air then Black blood shouted, “Every chaos pony tonight we die for our lord chaos we die for his honor and his sacrifice!”

They roared and then they saw Brimstone then flew up in the air and then he started to blast flame on the first regiment with no warning as they held the bridge celestia flew  forth in her armor wielding her giant spear with Lance, Pine and brimstone protecting her from the dark Alicorns. She blasted Nightmare moon but she absorbs the attack and so the two started fire blasts of energy at each other. North Star and his allies rush to the bridge and there they faced the chaos ponies and the Alicorns. However, North Star with his element of free will he blasted the chaos ponies blocking his path and they fell into the river of lava below. He soon came upon the army of chaos ponies blocking his entrance to the other side of the ravine. Then Sugar cube came forward and then said, “I swore never to kill another pony now I know I can’t keep that promise.” He then closed his eyes then they then turned silver and then he galloped forward and smashed through the ranks slashing through in rage. Core and Obsidian came up behind him. Then North Star jumped forward and blasted a hole in the ranks. Then he created a shield and allowed Core and Sugar cube and Obsidian kill the chaos ponies within his shield as the others tried to slash and break the shield. Core held his Axe and sliced the heads of two chaos ponies in a single blow Obsidian was behind him blocking and parrying a spear then Sugar Cube behind him and stabbed him in the back. Then one tried to stab north star with his sword and Sugar cube threw two daggers in his back then Obsidian came forth and then slammed his sword into the throat of another pony as he tried to slam his hammer on him. Core then came at his side and sliced the head of another then they were soon being attacked from all sides they tried to attack north star but Sugar cube was dodging their swords and their spears. Then core smashes one to the ground and slams his axe onto one then he slams his head into another’s head and then he falls to the ground, and Core slams his axe forward and crushing his head with it. Then he looked up as a spear almost hit him but Sugar cube threw a dagger slicing the spear’s head. Core nods as Sugar cube takes up another dagger and slicing through five more of the chaos ponies and then slams one to the ground and slit his throat. Obsidian came from behind and sliced another’s neck then across came forward slicing another Chaos pony with his axe and then they came upon the last five. One tried to slam his sword into Sugar cube he dodges the thrust with ease and kicks upward and then he throws two daggers into the throat of two. Then Obsidian jumps forward and then as the chaos pony he tried to attack he dodges the strike and then Core throws his axe and hit the chaos pony’s head then Sugar cube then came forward and slams two daggers into the last chaos pony as Obsidian came down on the final Chaos pony on the ground.  

North Star held the shield as the Alicorns started to blast the shield with their power but they are caught in a web of electricity and they started to fall as they attacked his shield. Then the last chaos pony fell to sugar cube’s blades within the shield. Then the chaos ponies surrounding the shield backed off ad a single giant black earth pony trotted up to it.

It was Black blood in his full battle armor his axe in his right rotation cuff he then shouted “I gave King Sombra an army and he promised me a wife.”

Obsidian starred at him then said, “It was you he was going to give Princess Cadence to.”

He laughed then said, “I would force her to marry me but from what I hear the crystal empire is gone. Princess Cadence will be nothing more than my concubine and the fillies I will make her bare will be the ones who will continue my legacy.”

Then Void flew down then he shouted, “Why did you stop the assault?”

Black Blood slams his head into Void’s face then he fell unconscious then he turns to Obsidian.

He then said, “I don’t give a shit about Omega I joined him to keep my soldiers alive. So I will stop my attack but this isn’t for Canterlot and Equestria this is for the crystal empire. You still owe me princess cadence by my right she is mine, so Obsidian.”

He then raised his axe and shouted, “You will hand her to me or I will kill all of you.”

The chaos ponies starred at Obsidian then Obsidian stood up then said, “She will not be yours I will not allow you to force yourself on her I will die before that happens.”

North Star got up then said, “We will destroy all of you to keep the Crystal Empire safe just as Equestria.”  

Obsidian laid a hoof on North Star’s shoulder then he looked at him then said “How about this let’s settle this in another way. The crystal empire is gone so instead I will offer my life instead for the payment of King Sombra’s debt.”

Black blood starred at him then said, “You are honorable.”

The alicorns then started to attack the chaos ponies as they flew down to blast them but they held themselves and then Black blood sighed and said, “We will discuss this later for now we fight...”

North Star nods then Obsidian gets up and then Norths tar turns his attention to the grey alicorns coming down from the sky. He started to blast them with his horn and keep the shield in front of him, these allies, and the chaos ponies. The alciorns were bushed back as they were overwhelmed. Void got up his nose was broken and he swore then he attacked from North star’s behind but Sugar cube slammed a dagger upward onto him and he flew up to avoid the attack. Then North Star watch as Void’s horn grew shadow then he shouted “Alicorns flood these ponies with shadow show them the power of Omega!” They then flooded the battlefield with an endless shadow it engulfed the chaos ponies and North Star and his allies. North Star widened his shield amplifying it with his amulets and he shouted, “All of you stand still!” He then sent a giant wave of power upward electrifying more Alicorns they stared to fall and some began to flee then Void crashed into North star’s shield shattering it North star was hit by the blast and was thrown back. He then gathered himself as Void hit the ground.

Void then shouted “North Star you should have taken my father’s offer you should have kept your honor because now you’re going to die!” North Star then held up a shield and stopped the blast then he sent a wave of energy and then he slammed Void with an energy blast and the two teleported.

North Star teleported the two across the river of lava and slams him on the ground he then landed before him then said “So your one of Abyss’s sons?” Void got up then said, “We waited for one thousand years we will make sure he wins.” North Star then said, “I can’t allow that to happen.” Void’s horn started pour out more shadows then he shouted “Then you will die.” Void then flew forward trying to blast North Star with a shadow blast. North Star held his ground and absorbs the attack then he jumps upward to avoid another blast then slams Void into the ground with electricity then as Void absorbed the attack, he dodges North Star’s tidal wave of rock. Void then with his magic raises the lava and tries to slam it upon North Star. North Star cools the lava, forms the hardened lava into a ball, and slams it forward at Void. Void then holds the ball of lava as it exploded raining molten rock on Void. Void barley has time to block the lava with a spell shield then flies upward then North Star under him tires to blast him with lightning. Then he avoids the lightning strikes and attacks with a barrage of black lightning raining from the sky. North Star jumps back to avoid the lightning and then he blocks another strike with another spell shield then he teleports forward and slams a power from his horn and then he shot a gat blast into Void. However, Void absorbs the energy and then sends it forward trying to blast North Star. North Star teleports before the blast hits him, he is now facing Void, and Void tries to send more lightning from the sky. He then shouted to blast him.

Then North Star absorbed the energy with his horn then he sent it forward again then Void is hit and he was sent back he flew up in the air and shouted, “Just die!”

He then sent a giant shield of shadow all over the ground but North Star teleported above Void and blasted him downward into the shadow then Void stopped the shadows from devouring himself then he realized he was still falling and then he screamed as he hit the river of lava below.

Nightmare moon blasted Princess Celestia with her horn and tried to get her to succumb. Luna held her horn and started to create more power from horn then she shouted, “ Princess Celestia you fight for ponies ponies who killed Alicorns who for two hundred years fought and couldn’t untie what makes you think they’ll unite and stay united?”

Princess Celestia flew up then said, “Because of North Star and his friends they proven to me that yes there will be evil ponies there will always be evil ponies but there always be those who are willing to fight for freewill and harmony for the ponies that do good. There will be more good ponies then bad, they will learn, they will grow, and we will learn and grow. Please sister, stop this madness come back to the light.”

Nightmare moon flew back as Brimstone came forward and blasted a few more Alicorns from the sky Lance flew around and started sending lightning strikes at the Alicorn and then as  Pine fired his crossbow on one that hit its eye. Then he flew upward and started to fire to three more he shot them in succession. Then he flew sideways, is almost hit by lightning and flame he then shot two more than three more came forward and tried to slam energy into Pine. However, he flew sideways, then he shot two of them, and then he slammed a dagger with his left front hoof through the last one.

Then he turned to Nightmare Moon then Pine came forward then said, “Luna.”

She shouted, “I’m no longer Luna I’m Nightmare Moon!”

She then blasted Pine but he dodges the attack then Celestia flew forward and with her spear raised she tried to steady it as Nightmare moon tried to attack Pine dodges her attacks.

She then shouted, “You see the moon above? Soon when Omega awakes, he will combine his power with mine and we will have our victory you can’t stop it. Hera is dying and giving Omega’s soul into his new body.”  

The moon began to glow red and the symbol of omega stated to appear on the moon.

Then Nightmare moon shouted, “I will not stand by to watch the world slip back to to the darkness only through my darkness will the world turn back to the light.”

Then Pine flew forward and then said, “Luna this isn’t you it never was. You’re hurt your scarred and I know you don’t love me anymore but I still care for you.”

She stares at his necklace with the ring on it then she said, “My ring... you still have it.”

She shakes her head then she became stern then she roared and tried to blast Pine he dodges her attacks and avoided them then he rose up as she tried to blast him he then flew behind her.

She then shouted, “We could have been together forever why didn’t you give in to Abyss’s offer!”

Pine then said, “Because he would have sent me into the darkness as he’s doing to you.”

She then said, “So this is it then. This is who I am.”

She then gathered her horn’s energy then Pine saw that celestia was holding everything and she nods then in tears raised her spear and with the elements of harmony, she blasted a ray of energy into Nightmare moon as she blasted Pine.

She then screamed as the power entered her and then she shouted “Celestia! I will destroy you!”

She is than sent to the moon and the red in moon faded. The symbol of omega dissipated and the light of a silver moon shined down onto the valley as Pine was falling and his left wing was broken. North star seeing Pine‘s falling body sends an orb of energy saves Pine before he hit the ground.
