The Descent into Hell (Season Finale)

The sound of metal clashing against each other echoed around the air. I backed up as I gripped my sword tight in my hands. Sweat rolled down my face as I tried to catch my breath. I stared daggers at my enemy as I tightened the grip on my handle of my blade.

"So you still think you can beat me?"

I smirked as I watched Fang spin her scythe in her hand before placed the blade on the ground. She smirked at me as she tried to catch her breath as well. Sweat covered her body as well. I huffed as I spun my sword in my right hand before placing it back its sheath.

"No way I'm can win against you, so I concede," I said

"Well, I didn't reach captain by being a pushover." She said

"I'll say," I said

It was the morning after the Grand Galloping Gala, which ended nicely. After dancing with each of my mates, we decided we had enough fun and called it a night. The girls chose to stay in a separate room, while White Claw slept with me for the evening. Flame was also in the room; White didn't mind him, as long as, he didn't try anything funny. Flame decided to sleep on the couch curled up on a pillow.

After breakfast, Blood Fang came by to see if I wanted to do a little sparing with her. I still wanted to test my skills against her scythe since it wasn't a traditional sword. She told me to wait in the garden as she needed to change out of her armor. I went to the garden and waited for her. I only waited a minute or two before she came out wearing a black sports bra and a pair of track shorts. Well, you can take a guess what happened after that.

"I'm happy that you let me spar with you. I was going to run it by Shining. But he told me he was going to be spending the day with Cadance." Said Fang

"Well, I could use the training," I said

We each walked over to a couple of water bottles she brought out for us. We each took one and drank the liquid as we replenish the water we lost through sweating.

"So enjoy the Gala?" Asked Fang

"Yeah, it was fun spending it with my harem," I said

"I'm glad; the princesses are always trying to improve the Gala each year. I can still remember the year Twilight and her friends came to the Gala and brought chaos with them." Said Fang

"So I've heard," I said

"Well, you want to try again." Said Fang

I smiled, but before I could answer, the sound of something crashing against the ground caught our attention. We both turned to see a cloud of dust floating through the air not far from us. That's when I felt a sense of dread fall over me. A powerful darkness now surrounded the area, even stronger than Stray Wolf and the late Slugger both produced when they appeared. No, this one felt like it came from the depths of pure darkness.

"That energy, no, it can't be!"

"What, Crystal?!"

"A Pandora's Elite!"

I watched as the smoke clear and standing in a crater was a large metal man. The person had silver metal armor covering every inch of their body. Two scissor-like blades sat on each of its hands. The figure moved its head moved to show two dark holes that seemed to be endless. I could tell they had to be eyeholes, but I couldn't see any eyes, just darkness. So this is one of Pandora's Elite followers.

"What the hell is that thing!?" Asked Fang

It looked over both of us before stepping out of the crater. I watched as it now towered over me by a whole another two feet.

"I am not a what, but who." It said with a dark gruff male voice.

"Fine then who are you?" Asked Fang

"I am Scissor Arm, one of Pandora's Elites. I am here to get you." He pointed his finger at me," Xavier Young."

"Me," I said

"Yes, you have an appointment with the doctor." Said Scissor Arm

"The doctor," I said

"Yes now, we can do this the hard way or the easy way." Said Scissor Arm

I watched as Fang pointed her scythe at Scissor Arm, "Sorry you can't have him."

"That's right," I said as I pulled my sword.

Scissor Arm began to laugh and what a dark laugh it was. It made every hair on my body stand on end. But I held steady as I wasn't alone. Scissor Arm raised his arms and extended the scissors on his arms.

"I'm glad we're doing it the hard way." Said Scissor Arm

Fang and I stood ready as Scissor Arm looked at us before he roared and rushed at us. Fang and I ran at him. I hope we can beat him.

3rd Person POV

Xavier and Fang swung their weapons at Scissor Arm, but the elite of Pandora raised his arms up and blocked both of their attacks. Both Xavier and Fang tried to push against Scissor Arm, but he didn't move. He drove both warriors away from him with ease. Fang and Xavier skid across the ground before coming to a stop a foot away from Scissor Arm.

"Damn, he's strong." Said Fang

Scissor Arm slammed his fists into each other before a dark glow covered both of his hands. He slammed both hands down into the ground.

"Scissor Strike!" Scissor Arm Exclaimed

The ground rumbled under Fang and Xavier. Suddenly a massive blade came right from the earth, inches from Fang's face. Xavier looked at the ground for turning tail and moving out of the way as Fang took to the air as a blades came right out of the ground.

"Shit that was too close." State Xavier

"I agree." Said Fang

Scissor chuckled as he pressed his boots into the dirt before he leaped air. He reached Fang before she could even react, Scissor Arm grabbed her head. He came right back to the ground and slammed Fang's head into the earth below. Xavier covered his face to protect from the pieces of debris flying around. Xavier then watched as Fang went right by him, and slammed into a tree. The force was able to snap the tree right in half. Fang fell to the ground as the top of the tree fell on top of her.

"FANG!!" Screamed Xavier

Xavier turned back as Scissor Arm walked right over to him as if nothing had happened. Xavier looked at the walking armored giant as he ground his teeth together. Xavier placed his sword back in its sheath before starting to charge large icicles around him. He pointed his hands at Scissor Arm. The Icicles went right towards him, but Scissor Arm bashed each ice spear into pieces.

Damn it! Xavier pulled his sword once again and placed two fingers on the blade and slide it up. A fire consumed the blade of the sword before Xavier took a swing, sending the wave of fire at Scissor Arm. He rose his hands and let the wave of fire hit him, but it didn't even heat or harm the armor. DAMN IT!!!

Scissor Arm chuckled as he looked at Xavier with his empty eyes. Xavier held his sword tight as he watched Scissor Arm pushed his boots into the ground. A bead of sweat dripped down Xavier's forehead. Xavier licked his dry lips and watched as Scissor Arm ran right at him at an incredible speed for a being entirely covered in armor.

Xavier used his speed vision to see a fist coming his way. He ducked and quickly jumped out of the way to avoid his other fist. He raised his sword to stop one of Scissor Arms scissors. Scissor Arm pushed Xavier away and began to attack Xavier with his scissor weapons. Xavier blocked each attack while backing up with each swing.

Xavier huffed as sweat rolled down his face from the endless attacks that Scissor Arm dished out. Damn, I don't how much longer I can defend against this guy.

"What's wrong, Xavier, getting tired?" Asked Scissor Arm

"Hardly." Stated Xavier

Scissor Arm chuckled before sending a fist at him. Xavier was able to dodge it, but couldn't avoid the second fist that struck him right in the face. It dazed Xavier causing him to drop his sword. Xavier felt another metal fist hit his face. Fist after fist collided with Xavier's body. Xavier accepted each fist of Scissor Arm as he was too tired to put up a defense. With a final strike, Xavier went to the ground. He huffed and puffed as he rolled himself over as he began to spit up blood. Blood oozed from his nose, but Xavier was sent back to the ground as Scissor Arm pressed his boot onto his back.

"You should have taken the easy path, Xavier." Said Scissor Arm

Scissor Arm used his boot to flip Xavier over onto his back. Xavier looked up as he watched Scissor Arm raise his fist, but the hoof a pony ramming into the right side of his head stopped him. It caused the Pandora's Elite to stumble away before shaking his head as he looked at Fang. He body was full of cuts and scrapes, and blood oozed from her nose, mouth, and gashes.

"You won't harm Xavier as long as I stand!" Exclaimed Fang

"I see you still have some fight left in you. I'm glad; I was hoping to have some more fun." Said Scissor Arm

Fang gripped her scythe before bolting towards Scissor Arm. She rose her scythe into the sky as Scissor Arm flexed his fingers. He extended both of his scissor weapons. Xavier turned himself over and began to crawl over to his sword. He kept his eyes on Fang as she grew closer and closer to Scissor Arm. Xavier was nearing his sword as he saw Fang was within striking distance of Scissor Arm.

Fang had reached Scissor Arm and went for the strike, but Scissor Arm was ready for her. He threw his right fist right at Fang and chopped her scythe handle right in half. Fang's eyes went wide as she saw his left went right for her right arm and in a single snip. She lost her entire right arm. Xavier watched as Fang's arm left her body and blood squirting from her wound. Xavier's eyes widened as he watched the horror unfold in front of him. But it was hardly over for Fang as Scissor Arm sent his right arm barrelling towards his stomach and smashed his scissor weapon right into her gut.

Fang screamed bloody murder as the blade cut right through her. She began to cough up blood from her mouth.

"Sad, I was hoping for more." Scissor Arm chuckled as he tossed Fang to the ground.

She hit the ground with a thud as her body began to pool blood around her from her where her arm used to sit and the wound in her gut. Xavier couldn't believe what he was seeing as he watched Blood Fang bleed out in front of him.

"FANG!!!" Screamed Xavier

Xavier pushed himself as he tried to reach his sword only to watch as a metal boot crushed and shattered his sword. Xavier watched as his last hope was sent scattering into pieces. No! Xavier then felt a boot strike his gut causing to flop on over to his back. He coughed as he looked up at Scissor Arm.

"Now, you don't want to be late for your appointment with the good doctor, do you." Said Scissor Arm

Scissor Arm formed a fist before bashing right into Xavier's face. Everything started to go blurry for Xavier before he closed his eyes and fell into an unconscious state. Scissor Arm bent down and picked up the unconscious human before turning to the dying Fang. Her eyes watching him as blood poured out from her wounds onto the ground. He laughed as he raised his right arm and snapped his fingers. A portal appeared in front of Scissor Arm. He stepped into the portal with the unconscious Xavier before it closed up behind him, and they were no more.

Fang coughed as she watched the two disappear. She used whatever strength she had left to pull a small crystal from her pocket. Fang could feel her life slipping away with each passing second. She broke the crystal and with all her might, threw it into the air. It exploded with a bright flash. She winced as she looked at the flash of light. Fang began to watch as her vision grew blurry and she couldn't keep her eyes open much longer. She began to close her eyes as her body started to shut down completely. But before Fang lost consciousness, she saw a set of guards surrounding her and yelling. But she couldn't make out the words as she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

The girls sat around the throne room talking with Celestia and Luna about the Gala. Cadance was also in attendance with her husband. Their happy and laughing faces were utterly oblivious to the horror happening in the garden of the castle, where Fang and Xavier went off to spar. But in the back of Applejack's and Twilight's mind, something felt off. They each felt something terrible would happen today the moment they woke up. But they shrugged it off as nothing. Today felt like another good day, but soon that would all end.

"I thank you for coming once again." Said Celestia

"No problem we're happy to attend." Said Twilight

"Especially when Blueblood doesn't attend." Said Shining

"I agree, Shining Armor." Said Luna

The group laughed until a guard burst through the doors of the throne room. He ran right up to the princesses before bowing and trying to catch his breath.

"What is it, sir guard?" Asked Celestia

"It's Captain Fang." Said the guard

"What of Captain Fang?" Asked Luna

"She's dying!" Exclaimed the guard

All the ponies eyes went wide as they heard the words. Twilight felt her heart fall into the stomach about hearing Fang was dying.

"She's at the medical ward on life support." Said the guard

The sisters looked at each other before running right towards the medical ward of the castle. The other following close behind them. Celestia pushed open the doors to the medical department and asked the pony working the front desk for where Fang was. The pony pointed the way and down the group went to see the horror of Captain Fang.

Doctors and healers were working as fast they could to keep Blood Fang alive. Everypony looked at the dying Threstal and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Faust have mercy." Murmured Shining

"What happened to her?" Asked Twilight

"Doctor Transplant!" Exclaimed Celestia

A stallion walked out of the chaos. He was wearing his blue scrubs. The stallion had a dark grey coat, black mane, and emerald eyes.

"Princess Celestia, what do you request of me?" Asked Dr. Transplant

"Blood Fang." Said Celestia

"Yes, she was brought in just a minute ago by a set of pegasi. She was barely holding onto life when our healers got to her. She's about to go into surgery to stitch up her wounds. I'll say, princess, whatever she fought was beyond her strength as it was able to amputate her left arm, even her shoulder and cause a massive open wound to her abdomen." Said Dr. Transplant

"Dr. Transplant, we need to move now!" Exclaimed a nurse

"Yes, get her into the surgical room, now!" He turned back to Princess Celestia, "I will do all I can to keep her alive."

Princess Celestia nodded as Dr. Transplant ran off to the surgical room. Celestia then saw two pegasi walking up to the group. They bowed to the princesses. She saw blood covering their gold armor. She assumed that these guards were the ones who brought Fang to the medical ward.

"Ma'am, we are the guards who brought Fang here." Said the first Pegasus

"Raise my guards and tell me everything." Said Celestia

The second guard cleared his throat, "Me and Sky Blaster were out on patrol when we saw a flash crystal go off. We moved towards the area and found Captain Fang lying in a pool of her blood."

"Sergeant Wind Cutter and two of his guards appeared as we were trying to stop Fang's bleeding. The Sergeant ordered Sky Blaster and me to take Fang to the medical ward." Said Sky Striker

"Wait," Twilight pushed herself forward. "What about Xavier, he was with Fang?"

The guards looked at each other before looking at Twilight and her worried expression.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but he was nowhere. All we found that resembled that he was there was his sword, shattered into multiple pieces." Said Sky Striker

"What?!" Exclaimed Applejack

"But how, the sword comes from the scales of Crystal Heart herself. That sword should be indestructible." Said Cadance

"We aren't sure Princess Cadance, we just know what we saw." Said Sky Striker

"It's the truth; Xavier wasn't there. We aren't even sure what transpired, but we can tell it was a fight." Said Sky Blaster

"If I had to guess a one-sided fight." Said Sky Striker

Twilight's heart fell into the deepest part of her stomach. Xavier's missing and know pony knows where he is! She dropped to her knees as her friend was dying and her stallion was missing. She felt her body completely stop. She now remembered that creeping feeling of something terrible was going to happen today, creep back into her mind. She felt her body shake before she let out a single word at the top of her lungs.

"XAVIER!!!!"

Unknown location
Xavier POV

I groaned as my body started to catch up with itself. I could still feel some slight pain from the battle with Scissor Arm. Fang, please be ok. I slowly opened my eyes, but everything around me was a giant blur. I blinked my eyes as I tried to clear up my vision. Soon I could see once again. I looked around to see I was in a room with concrete walls and a stone floor. It looked like an interrogation room cops use. My only source of light was a lamp hanging from the ceiling. It didn't give off enough light to see all around me, but enough to get an idea. Where the hell am I? I tried to move my arms and legs, but they wouldn't budge. I looked down to see my hands and feet tied down to the chair with leather straps. What?

"Crystal."

But she didn't respond, so I tried again.

"Crystal can you hear me?"

But again she never responded to me. I huffed as I decided to see if I could get in contact with Meteor or Icicle.

"Meteor can you hear me? Icicle can you hear me?"

But like Crystal, they didn't respond. What's going on? That's when I heard a metal door open and close. In the darkness, I saw a figure appear. I watched as the figure walked up to the table in front of me. The figure pulled out a chair before sitting down in it. I heard the chair scoot across the stone floor. I expected the stranger to say something, but it was silent. I growled as I decided to break the silence.

"Who are you?" I asked

There was a moment of silence before a voice spoke up," I'm glad you asked, Mr. Young." The figure moved forward to show that he was a unicorn stallion with a cobalt blue coat with a crimson red mane with a single black stripe running down the middle of it. His eyes were a dull grey color. He gave me a wicked smile before speaking again, "I'm Doctor Kozama, and I welcome you to Hell."
