"GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

"AAAAHHHH!"

"THE FRONTLINE IS DOWN!"

"RETREAT!"

I tore through another group of guards who tried to stop us. I had frozen most of them up to their neck or knocked them out cold.

"Damn, princess please remind me to not get on his bad side."

"Yes, I see what you mean Brutal Blade. He just took out the equivalent of a battalion. There must be at least four-hundred guards down."

I listened to them as they talked to each other. 'So, I took down a battalion by now.' I looked around the hallway to see the damage. I had destroyed a few walls and part of the roof. "If things keep going this way the castle is going to come down. But I have the feeling Shining Armor has a trump card of his own. I should have brought Murasame with me."

"You may be right about that Troy I have the same feeling."

I looked back to Cadence while she talked. "What do you mean Cadence?"

"I can feel the magic energy in the air."

'What do you mean?"

She rubbed her arms with her hands as she looked at me.

"The magic in the air feels dark and cold. I'd say evil if I had to put a word to this feeling. Like a blade edge at my throat."

I listened to her as she talked. I turned my head back and looked down the hall. I saw the throne room doors with a red glow around them. I clenched my right fist and fire wrapped around my fist. I clenched my left fist making a thin layer of ice covered my fist. "The real fun starts now." I walked over to the throne room doors with both them close behind.

Celestia pov

Sweetie's parents had left the house two hours after Troy and Cadence did. Now we were all sitting in the living room talking and taking turns holding the filly. Currently, she was being held by Applebloom.

"What should we name her?"

We all looked at Applebloom as she rocked the filly. "I don't know Applebloom let's wait for Cadence and Troy to get home before we pick on. I'd like to here so mare names from Troy's old home."

"BANG" BANG" "BANG"

Three loud rapid knocks came from our front door and made the filly cry. Applebloom started to rock the filly more to calm her down.

"I got it."

Nightmare walked over to the front door and opened the door. I leaned back to see who was at the door. I saw Spike staring up at Nightmare scared. I stood up from the chair I was sitting in.

"Do you need something dragon?"

I walked up beside Nightmare and looked down. "Oh, Spike what are you doing here?" I looked down at a sacred Spike. He gulped as he looked at me.

"I'm looking for Troy. The girls left for earlier today going to canterlot to our parent's house. Then about half an hour ago that happened!"

He turned and pointed at canterlot mountain. I stepped out of the house and looked at canterlot mountain. I saw the castle had a large red dome over it. 'Why didn't I sense the magic energy from that dome?' I balled my fist as I looked at my castle. "Shining Armor this is treason." My mane and tail started to smoke from my anger. "Go home Spike things are about to get very violent." He nodded and ran back into the town.

"Oh my, I haven't seen that look since our fight a thousand years. If only Troy could see you now."

I looked at Nightmare and smiled. "Do you want to come with me to help Troy ou..."

"BOOOOOOOM!"

I massive blast of air slammed into us and knocked us both to the ground. I got up and looked back to Canterlot. Now ice spikes covered the city. Then I sensed a massive magic energy in front of us. Suddenly a large dome of pink magic appeared in front of us.

"Celestia!"

The dome disappeared when I heard Cadence's voice. I saw Cadence with the whole population of canterlot around her.

"Cadence what happened to you!?"

Nightmare and I ran over to her. She was on her hands and knees as she was breathing like she was about to die. I dropped to my knees and grabbed her shoulders. She looked up at me.

"Shining Armor dark magic, Nuckelavee..."

Cadence pasted out as I held her up by her shoulder.

"Did she say dark magic?"

I looked back at Nightmare as she looked over at Cadence.

"That beast better pay for my fence!"

"What about my car?!"

"My house!"

My mane, tail, and eye burned as I looked at the foals of canterlot. "Enough! You whining foals just need to shut up! Troy is fighting a crazed Shining Armor who I may add is using dark magic! All of you just wait when this is over there is going to be big changes in canterlot!" I yelled in the royal canterlot voice. The power of my voice threw many of the nobles back. The fire on my mane died back down and lifted Cadence into the air with my magic. "Nightmare when I've put her in her bed. You and I are going to the castle." I turned back to the crowd and yelled at them again. "TWILIGHT!" I crossed my arms as I saw nobles getting threw aside.

"Yes ma'ma!"

Twilight was suddenly in front of me. Her friends were close behind her. "Get your Elements we're going to go help, Troy."

"But what about my brother? Troy said he was going to kill him?"

"Well, if I know our stallion your bother is already dead. To bad for you little pest."

I frowned as I looked at Nightmare. "Hah Nightmare but you make a good point if Troy aimed to kill Shining Armor then it shoulder be over by now. But I don't see him here do you?"

"NIGHTMARE MOON!?"

Twilight yelled when she saw Nightmare beside me. I sighed then waved for them to follow me. "Come on Nightmare and my student." I started to walk to the house with them close behind.

"BOOM!"

We all looked at canterlot mountain after hearing a loud explosion.

"Faust help us."

The city had started to fall off of the mountainside. I watched as the city fall with a fire burning the castle.

"Um, Princess what is that coming our way?"

I looked over at the city and saw a fireball was heading our way. It cleared the everfree forest then slammed into the ground.

"EVEROYPONY MOVE!"

Rainbow Dash yelled making the nobles ran for their lives. A magic energy that was close to my own was coming from it. The ball finally stopped when it was halfway to the town. I summoned my armor and sword. "Nightmare take Cadence. I'm going to go and see what is going on." Nightmare grabbed Cadence in her magic as I started to fly over to the fireball.

"Princess!"

I heard Twilight's yelling for me as I flew away. I ignored her as I flew to the fireball. I saw the fireball disappear and two bodies were now in the trench. "Are you alright!?" Neither of them moved.

"Princess!"

I looked back down to the ground to see Twilight and her friends running behind me. I frowned and flew down to them. I land in front of them all. Twilight ran up to me and looked scared.

"Princess what were you thinking! We don't know what that thing is!"

I was about to tear into her when I heard Troy talking.

"You know you're a pain in the neck egghead."

I turned around to see Troy being held up by another well... me. He had a new scar on the top of his right forearm a very nasty one at that.

Troy pov

I walked up to the throne room door. "The real fun starts now." I kicked the door in and saw Shining Armor with green eyes and red pupils. Purple energy flowed from the sides of his eyes. Around him were a dozen guards in black armor. My blood boiled when I saw the night raid crest on their chest plate. I gritted my teeth and fire covered both my arms. "Why are wearing my units crest on your CHEST!?"I lunged forward and balled my fist. I slammed my fist into the chest of the guard closet to me. My fire covered the armor and destroyed the armor.

"Well, that's a surprise that dark armor should be indestructible. Well, lucky for me I planned for this."

His horn suddenly started to glow with purple and green magic. A portal opened then suddenly, a red eye with a black slitted eye looked at me. It glared at me with an evil glare full of bloodlust. A large flesh covered hoof stepped through the portal. A demon-like monster walked into the throne room. It was a massive furless, skinless horse. Flames also flickered in its nostrils. On it's back was a skinless human torso on the back of the beast. The main body was that of a horse with the red eye on the horse head. The horse mouth was full of razor sharp teeth in its mouth. Its arms were like too long spears or maybe large swords.

'A Nuckelavee!'

I heard Daybreaker voice in my mind. 'A Nuckelavee never heard of them before.' I drew Yatsufusa as I looked at that thing. The abomination roared at me as it charged for me. I smiled and jumped into the air with my left still on fire. The beast swung its blade arms at my chest. I blocked the attack as its other arm almost took my head off.

"RRRRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!"

"Watch out!"

I quickly made a ball of fire in my hand. "Eat this!" I slammed the ball into the horse face. A massive fireball destroyed the horses head. I dropped back to the ground. I jumped to the right and slammed my hand on the ground. I made an ice spike shot for Shining Armor. He smiled as he used his magic to block the attack.

"Above you!"

I turned around quickly to see what was behind me. I saw the horses head was back. "SHIT!" I started to swing Yatsufusa to cut its chest open. But the Nuckelavee was faster. It cut my right forearm wide open. Blood purred out of my forearm.

"TROY!"

I heard both Cadence and Blade yell when they saw my wound. I grit my teeth with blood ran down my hand. "How do I kill this thing!?" I covered my left fist in my ice and punched the horse's mouth. I stabbed Yatsufusa into the beast chest hoping to hit its heart.

'Quick cover it's heart out!'

Daybreaker yelled in my mind as the beast roared in pain. I forced an ice spike through the horse's head than forced Yatsufusa out the right side of its chest.

"Watch out!"

Something slammed into my side and sent me through the wall. I slammed face first into the wall outside of the throne room. I dropped to the ground but as I did Blade was sent through the same hole. His chest had a slash over the right side of his chest. I saw he was still breathing well enough. "Blade." I quickly made a large ice dome over him to keep him safe. "I'll come back for my friend."

"AAAAHHHH!"

I heard Cadence scream in the throne room. I jumped back into the throne room and saw Cadence pined to the wall by black crystals. The pined her to the wall by her clothes. I saw Armor in front of her with his hands on her breast. "ARMOR GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY CADENCE!" The next second I was on top of him. I grabbed his throat then threw him through the roof.

"Behind you!"

I balled my fist and swung my arm back. Spikes of ice flew out of the air as my fist moved through the air. I pined the suits of armor to the wall and stabbed the Nuckelavee eight times. 'That won't keep that thing down.' I turned back around and saw Cadence crying. "Give me just a second then I'll have you down Cadence." I sheathed Yatsufusa then I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her free. Her clothes ripped while I pulled her away from the wall. She was free from the crystal she wrapped her arms around my neck and cried into my chest. I put a hand on the back of her head and started to talk to her. "I know Cadence but now is not the time. Now listen before Armor or the beast can get back up. I want you to teleport yourself and as many civilians as you can out of canterlot." She sniffed a few times then looked up at me.

"But what about you? Can you fight them both off?"

I laughed and kissed her forehead. "I'll be home by dinner time my princess. Now get the spell going I have a beast to kill." As I finished talking the beast stood back up. I pushed Cadence behind me as the beast attack.

"Nuckelavee skin him alive!"

Armor teleported back into the room when a massive wind slammed into my back. I turned my head to see what Cadence was doing. Her eyes were white with power as she levitating in the air. In a flashed she vanished and a wave of pink magic covered the city. All the sound that was coming from outside was gone.

"What was that you animal!?"

I smiled as I turned around and looked at Armor. "My go-ahead to go crazy and do what I want."

'let me out to help you! You can't take a dark mage and Nuckelavee at once!'

Daybreaker yelled in my mind as I jumped back dodging a storm of black crystals. I sidestepped as the Nuckelavee tried to cut off my hand that was holding Yatsufusa. I had to do this eight more times while Daybreaker screamed for me to let her help. 'Ok, screw it!' I slammed my fist into the floor and flooded the ground with ice energy. The massive spikes of ice destroyed the throne room. I had made a wall of ice in between me and the those two.

'Ok, now that you have a second think of my body that you saw earlier. Then I want you to make a fireball as hot and as dense as you can.'

I thought of the body she had when I first saw her. I had both my hands and started to a fireball in the middle of my hands. I quickly made a white fireball about the size of a small boulder.

'Just a little hotter and bigger Troy.'

I gritted my teeth at the strain of keeping the ball together.

'Good now clear brack yourself it's about to get crazy in here.'

the ball of white fire started to take the shape of a mare.

"Bash! Bash! Bash! Bash!"

I looked over to the right side of my ice wall. I saw a mix of green and purple light starting to get through the eye. I looked back and saw Daybreaker's body had formed wings and a horn. I
readied myself as I looked at the lights. "You better hurry Daybreaker."

"Oh, you are bossy.~"

I heard her voice then she grabbed me.

"Goodbye, you perverted stallion."

She pointed her other hand at the lights as it was about to break the ice.

"Solar flare."

Out of her hand, a massive stream of fire shot out of her palm. Her fire touched the Ice it shot through it like a bullet through paper. All the ice around us melted from the intense heat. She stopped her attack after a full minute. I saw the throne was on fire with a with two badly damaged shields.

"looks like he's tougher than I expected."

"You sound happy about that." She let me go and walked forward. I walked but beside her and saw her smiling.

"I am happy. For the first time in three thousand years, I'm free."

She started to walk over to the wounded Nuckleavee. I saw she swayed her hips like Cadence did as she walked. I blinked then shook my head to clear my mind. 'Think like that later kill the bastard and his pet now." I started to walk over to Armor as I heard Daybreaker staring her fight. I smiled as I looked at Armor's pissed look.

"I hate you."

"I hate you too you bastard." I charged ready to end this fight. He used his magic to make a sword and shield out of black crystal. "Let's dance motherfucker!"

"Bring it you bucker!"

Our swords clashed are we looked at each other with hate. "You're not getting away you know that right?" I started to walk forward forcing him back.

"Ggggrrrraaaa!"

Shining Armor scratched his hoofs of the floor as I forced him back to the wall. I noticed that the Daybreaker sent a stream of fire at the beast.

"I'm almost done what about you?"

I punched Shining Armor in the face breaking his nose. "Just about done here." I forced his sword up and grabbed his shield with my other hand. "Say good night!" I cut off his horn because I changed my plans for him. His eyes turned black and green and black magic oozing out of the stump. Even after that, he was still conscious. I let his shield go then slammed my fist into the side of his head. Then he was out cold on the ground. I looked back as Daybreaker killed the beast with a sweet smile on her face. I smiled as I watched her pull her flaming sword out of the corpse. She rested it on her shoulder and turned to look at me.

"Like what you see?~"

I blushed as I looked at her. 'This mare may just be hotter than her fire.' I looked back down to the out cold Armor and grabbed his hair. I dragged him over to Daybreaker as the throne started to burn. "Threw this one in your magic space I have a different plan for him." She looked at me for a second then shrugged her shoulders. Her horned glowed and a yellow portal opened in the air. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him in.

"Ok let's get out of here before this place comes down on top of us."

"Sounds good to me." She wrapped an arm around my neck and covered us in a red sphere. I charged one-hundred percent of power to my legs. I kicked my legs off the ground and sent us flying through the castle ceiling. Fire from the castle covered the sphere as we broke through and started to fly over the forest.

"Nice Troy!"

I smiled as we flew through the air. Then I felt a massive weight hit me. "My body..." I felt her hold me tighter as I saw us now getting close to my house.

"Hey, we need to stop Troy."

I tried to move my body but couldn't. "I can't move..."

"WHAT!?"

I saw we were getting closer to the ground fast.

"Brace yourself!"

She wrapped her arms and wings around me as we hit the ground. She hugged me close to her body as I tried to move my body. 'Was the strain on my body too much?' We stopped and the fire around us when out after a minute. "Daybreaker you ok?"

"Ya, I'm fine."

"Are you alright!?"

I heard Celestia's voice about us.

"Princess!"

I heard Twilight's voice to along with a lot of hoofs running. They suddenly stopped after a second and Daybreaker got up. She grabbed my right arm and pulled me up to my feet. She pulled threw my arm over her shoulder to help me stand. "Thanks, I owe you for your help." She smiled and nuzzled my cheek with hers.

"Oh, your welcome.~"

I tried to walk as she started to walk over to where we saw Celestia and the others.I could at least move my feet a little but much else was out of the question.

"Princess what were you thinking! We don't know what that thing is!"

I grounded as we got close to them. "You know you're a pain in the neck egghead." They all turned and looked at us. I saw the look on Celestia's face I saw the shock in her eyes.

"Where is my brother!?"

Twilight ran up to me and got in my face. I looked her in the eyes as she stared at me. I saw fear, hate, and worry all of them in her eyes and her soul. "Alive for now. But when I can move on my own again I'll finish it."

"And who is she?"

Celestia walked up behind her and looked at Daybreaker. I grunted as I tried to stand up straight.

"Stop it! You've strained your body too much today!"

Daybreaker screamed as I stopped trying to stand. "Fuck, I guess I can only stand two or three huge attacks before the strain gets to me." She nodded and looked at me.

"Good now let's find so where you can lay down and let your body rest before you kill over."

I felt someone grab my other arm and I was up straight up again. Daybreaker and I looked over to my left. I saw Applejack helping me stand. I smiled as I looked at her. "Thanks, Applejack." She smiled as We walked to the house.

"No problem partner. I'm betting we're going to be kin one of these days."

I smiled as they helped me over to the house. "Here is fine for now." They helped me sit down beside the front door. I leaned back into the wall and looked out over the nobles. Daybreaker sat down on the steps and Celestia walked over to her.

"So, who are you exactly?"

"Daybreaker or your version of my sister Nightmare. I'm your dark side same as Nightmare is Luna's."

I saw Celestia's along with everyone else eyes go wide as they looked at her. Celestia summoned her sword and was about to attacker.

"Oh, knock it off like Troy I'm tired. I just finished helping Troy kill a Nuckaleavve."

Celestia stopped and looked at me. She looked down the new scar on my arm. Her sword disappeared as she looked at Daybreaker.

"Ok then, But how did you get out of my soul?"

Daybreaker looked back at me. I sighed and started to explain in a tired voice. "Somehow when you gave me a piece of your soul she got into it. I also think making a body for you is what strain my body so much." She smiled and looked back to Celestia.

"There you good miss plotting mare."

I saw Celestia become a little scared as she looked at me. I narrowed my eyes and looked at her. "That reminds me. What are the elements of harmony and why were you hiding them from me, Celestia?" She started to sweat as I looked at her. Everyone could tell I was not in a playing mood right now. She nervously looked at me as I looked at her.

"Well, I didn't think you need to know about them yet."

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her. "Let me guess you were planning to use them against me if I turned on you right?" My tone was accusing as I spoke to her.

"I, Well..."

"Just stop."

She did as she looked at me with faded breath. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. I opened my eyes again she and everyone else in front of me went stiff. I was looking at them with pure murderous intent. My eyes were trained straight on Celestia's eyes. "I'm no turn coak Celestia NEVER forget about that." She and everyone else nodded as they looked at me. "Good now we'll talk later after I wake back up. Becuase right now I feel like sleeping for a thousand years." I closed my eyes then passed out with my back on the wall.
