Then from bellow Nocturne, a demonic red circle appeared. He channeled his dark powers and the sky above them started changing. The sky turned crimson red and from around the castle big fires were created, so big and strong that they had almost reached the platforms that the ponies were on.

"What i am about to show you is nothing more than just a tiny piece of what Hell looks like! Cause when i arrived there....even i was trully horrified! The eternal tortures and screams! The demons running around killing anything that would get in their way! But i escaped! I survived even that!"

Celestia's heart started beating fast, the hot temperature made her sweat and her eyes were flickering but she had to fight and win the battle against him with whatever courage and will power she had at the moment.

"I am prepared to fight you even like this Nocturne!"

"You may say that now but when i drag you on pointy thorns and have you hanged from your tongue you will immediately give up hope and surrender to your fate!"

Those words of his created images inside of Celestia's mind. She imagined herself living though those two things and the ponies around were worried too when they heard what he just said.

"Now burn!"

When he said that, black smoldering wings appeared on his back, he took flight and from his hooves he started throwing fire bolts down on Celestia. Seeing that, she tried to dodge his attacks but it proved to be difficult, they were moving so fast and burning a lot! She then dodged another one by moving her head to the left but the powerful flames were so strong that they managed to burn her cheek a lot even if they didn't touch her skin, it was then that she realised just how powerful these flaming spheres were.

However, once the spheres landed on the ground they created fountains of hot lava that started spilling all over the ground and she had to avoid them at any cost! She tried to fly but there was no opening, she just found a tiny spot in which the lava couldn't reach her and she said there.

She grunted in pain, looked down on the ground and tried to calm herself of the pain. But when she looked up, she saw demonic circles appeared from the edges of the tower and from there demons appeared.

The demons all looked identical. They were just a head of a lion with five hooves coming out of it, with long sharp teeth and their mane were on fire.

The demons roared and they charged toward Celestia from all sides! Seeing that she panicked and tried to defend herself from the first demon that close to her, she swinged her sword and was able to cut out two of the hooves that were on top of the demon's head. But that didn't stop it and it jumped on top of her.

Celestia struggled to get it off of her but she failed, later the other demons that had reached her got on top of her as well and they started bitting to the point where they put her down on the ground due to pain.

"Oh no! SISTER!" Luna shouted.

"ENOUGH NOCTURNE! STOP THIS NONSENSE YOU HAVE WON!LET HER GO!" Crossbleser shouted.

"Enough? There is no such a word in Hell you old stallion! There is only torture! Agony and Fear! And i will put these three things right into her skull!"

He then extended his hoof in the air, he turned it into a claw and said.

"Just one final touch!"

Then demons around her were immediately sucked and when they reached his claw, they turned into a massive black fleshy ball that shadowed over Nocturne.

"Let pain be upon you!"

He then threw the massive ball at her and it released an explosion of the body parts of the demons that were sucked by Nocturne. The body parts were then sucked into the ground and they turned into giant black claws that started attacking and scratching Celestia without end.

Her body was being torn apart and she was in unimaginable pain. She couldn't die however, she felt like if death itself was rejecting her peace.

"My God, please end my pain! I can't fight anymore! Somepony please!" She thought to herself as the giant claws kept attacking her.

She then heard it again, that Dark Voice in her head that claimed to be helping her.

"I am always here, don't worry about a thing!"

When she heard the voice again, doubt clouded her mind. "Maybe it is Phobetor" She thought. "I shouldn't trust him!" She thought again. After all Nocturne did say that Phobetor was forcing them to fight. After that, Celestia was covered by a shield of light and when the claws touched it, they were immediately burnt away into nothingness.

Celestia then started taking deep breaths and prepare herself for the next encounter.

"Alright good enough! But you won't win!"

He then landed and said as he stomped his hoof to the ground.

"Lynthea! Tedaxur! To my side!"

After that, two demonic circles appeared, one on each side and from there, Lynthea and Tedaxur appeared.

"Master, i was worried......thank you for calling us..." Lynthea said in a worrying tone.

And Tedaxur noded in agreement.

"I appreciate your concern but now we have bigger problems in our hooves!" He said.

"I see, alright! I am with you till the end my love!"

"Just like old times Lynthea but be careful! The both of you! I doubt that your flesh can withstand her attacks! You got that?"

Lynthea and Tedaxur smiled and she later said.

"It truly is just like old times! Now then, lets see how strong your pretty sister is!"

Celestia rolled her eyes and asked.

"Still hidding behind Demons Nocturne? I thought that you were better than that!" She said in an attempt to provoke him.

"I am not hidding behind anypony sister i am just using whatever i have in my disposal to achieve my goals! That is all!"

When he finished his sentance, Lynthea and Tedaxur rushed towards Celestia. Lynthea took flight while Tedaxur charged head on with her.

She then meat with the giant half demon, thrusted her blade forward, pierced his belly and came out from the other side. He however didn't show any signs of pain, he just looked down on her with that dead look in his eyes and she cowered in fear.

"My turn!" Lynthea said as she landed from behind Celestia, cracked her whip and wrapped it around Celestia's neck.

"We do this together!" Nocturne said and channeled his powers.

Then from bellow Celestia, a layer of tiny burning thorns appeared on the ground and it was then that she remembered what Nocturne said at the beginning.

"Oh no!" She thought to herself but it was too late to react.

Lynthea pulled her whip back and Tedaxur punched her in the face and as a result, Celestia fell down on the tiny but burning and painful layer of thorns.

"Make her suffer Lynthea!" Nocturne demanded.

"Anything for you...." She said in a seductive tone and started taking flight while dragging Celestia on the thorny ground.

The ponies around looked away in terror but those that stood their ground and kept watching couldn't help but feel anxiety taking over them. Seeing their Princess tormented like that was something that they never thought would see.

And as for Celestia herself, she was forced to drop her sword and suffer the punishment that Nocturne was forcing her to go through. She knew that she would pass out any moment now from the intenss pain and that it would all be over, she closed her eyes in attempt to protect her eyes, that however couldn't be said for the rest of her body. Some of the throns that she passed through were even stuck on her weakened flesh and even wings. That alone caused her even more pain, more agony and that will to live was slowly drifting away.

"Hmm, Tedaxur, rip out her tongue will you?" Nocturne asked.

The stallion nodded with an evil smile, waved towards his mother and she waved back.

Lynthea dragged Celestia towards Tedaxur and when she was close enough, the demon pony jumped on top of her and started mercilessly punching her to the point where she stopped moving.

"Do it now!" Nocturne shouted.

Then from Tedaxur's hoof, small tendrils came out and reached for her tongue. The demon nodded at Nocturne, showing him that he was ready.

"Good!"

Nocturne then opened up two portals, one opened up behind Celestia and the other above her. Tedaxur then punched her through the portal and she came hanging down from her tongue in front of everypony.

Most of Celestia's family along with close friends started crying in that horrific sight. Seeing their Celestia hanging by her tongue that was slowly being torn apart.

"NOCTURNE PLEASE! I BEG YOU STOP! I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Queen Galaxia shouted at her son.

Those words had some effect on Nocturne, he knew that what he was doing was not right, he knew that maybe she didn't deserve this but his ambitions took over him again and he ignored his mother's cries.

After a few more seconds, Celestia's tongue was cut off and she fell down on the ground bellow. She didn't make a sound nor did she move. She just stood there dead.

"Alright, good job the both of you. I will now do what i must and claim her memories and powers as my own."

"Go for it my darling and after you finish up maybe we can....do something else you and i?" She said in a seductive tone.

"Yeah....i will have to relax before i start with....the other part of the plan."

And he started approaching her body.

The ponies around didn't make a sound nor did they try to stop him because they too were struck by and paralyzed fear.

Nocturne noticed that and asked.

"What's the matter everypony? Won't you try to stop me from Consuming your beloved Celestia?" He asked and waited eagerly for an answer.

He then let out a small laugh and said.

"Hmm, in the end fear claims all, even the boldest and the strongest!"

However the dark Voice in Celestia's mind had other plans.

When Nocturne reached Celestia, he turned his hoof into a claw and prepared to grab her head.

"Finaly, it's over." Nocturne said.

But just when he touched her head. Nocturne went back in two hooves and started screaming out in pain.

The ponies around along with Lynthea and Tedaxur were confused but at the same time horrified of what just happened.

Nocturne's screams were different, they were more powerful and demonic. His appearence then started changing along with the world around them. Nocturne had turned back to his dark form and the skies along with the fires were cleared out.

As for Nocturne however, his blue glowing eyes started losing their glow and revealed under them two normal eye balls that were then immediately thrown out of their sockets and Nocturne stepped on them by mistake.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH! SO IT IS TRUE! HE IS HELPING YOU! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He said and shouted more.

Everypony's eyes were then fixed on Celestia, they saw her rising up with all of her inuries healed and her armor fully repaired to what it was.

"C-celestia! You! You are alive!" Luna said.

When Celestia turned to face her however she looked sad and doubtful. It was clear to her that Phobetor was helping her kill her own brother. She didn't know why but she knew that if she didn't kill him, then those that were brought back would soon along with her return back to their graves.

Celestia started advancing towards the defensless Nocturne who was still trying to get a hold of himself.

"No you don't! Tedaxur stop her!" Lynthea said and she run towards Nocturne.

Tedaxur run towards Celestia but she didn't show any fear this time. The moment the demon was close to her she swinged her sword with unnatural speed and power, cuting off his right hoof and head.

Lynthea saw what just happened to her son but she had to find a way to bring Nocturne back to his senses.

"Nocturne! Please come back! You have to break free! You have to resist him! This is what we have been striving for ever since we met! Please come back! We can still f--"

But before she could continue, she felt her back being in pain. She looked down and saw that the pointy edge of Celestia's sword coming out of her chest.

When that happened, Nocturne stopped screaming and was paralyzed by what he saw.

"Nocturne....." She whispered.

Celestia then pulled out her sword and Lynthea was forced to the ground.

"I...am sorry...my love...please forgive me..."

"Be silent demon!" Celestia said and pierced her sword through her skull and died on the spot right before Nocturne who also had fallen on the ground.

"L-lynthea..." He said as tears started coming out from his eyes.

He wiped them from his face and started reaching for her body. But his hoof was pierced by Celestia's sword and pinned down on the ground. He looked up and saw Celestia looking at him with a serious face and said.

"You? Mourn for a demon?"

"She...she wasn't any demon...she was-"

But before he could say anything else Celestia punched him in the face and started slowly twisting the sword that was still stuck inside Nocturne's hoof.

"YOU MOURN FOR HER! Yet you! AAAHHHH! Yet you never mourned for those innocent's that you have killed! From the moment you returned you have been killing and killing! Nothing else! And now you dare mourn for your fuck toy in front of me?!"

"It's not like that! It never-"

"Yes it was Nocturne! From the very beginning! Everything that you have been doing, all for your own sake! All the killing that you were doing, it satisfied you! All those that you humiliated and used! You were satisfied by that too! No wonder why Phobetor wants you dead! Even he can't believe what monster he created!"

When she said that, Nocturne adapted an aggressive look and said.

"Don't talk like if you know him you bitch!

He then attacked her with his head and forced the blade out of his hoof.

"He was ploting this from the very start of my birth! AND HE HAS BEEN LAUGHING AT US FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM! AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! YES I AM WEAK COMPARE TO THEM! EVEN IF I WERE TO FULLY COMPLETE MY PLAN AND EMPOWER MY SELF! MY CHANCES ARE PRETTY SLIM ANYWAYS! BUT I STILL CARRY ON! BECAUSE I WANT TO BELIEVE IN THAT ONE PERCENT CHANCE OF VICTORY! I WANT TO FREE MYSELF FROM THEIR MADNESS! FREE US! FREE CREATION! SO WHY. CANT. YOU. GET. IT. THROUGH. YOUR. FUCKING. SKULL! WHAT ELSE MUST I DO HUH?"

"YOU MUST STOP!"

When she said that tears started rapidly running from her eyes.

"YOU WERE ONCE A GENTEL SOUL! YOU RISKED EVERYTHING TO PUT SMILES ON OUR FACES! YOU WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT FOR US! FOR OUR FAMILY AND COUNTRY! AND NOW YOU HAVE THROWN IT ALL AWAY! IF YOU ASKED FOR HELP IN THE FIRST PLACE! PREPARE US TO FACE THOSE ELDRITCH HORROS TOGETHER! THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT!"

"FUCKING STOP! ENOUGH WITH YOUR GARBAGE! IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FIGHT SOMETHING THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! NONE OF YOU CAN! NO MATTER HOW STRONG OR POWERFUL YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE! YOUR FEEBLE AND MORTAL MINDS CANNOT WITHSTAND WHAT MINE HAS! I WAS MADE THIS WAY! HE MADE ME THIS WAY!

And he started taking deep breaths.

There was silence in the tower and only his breathing could be heard.

"I have tried what you said Celestia, i tried to teach what i learnt but my students would go mad! They had to die! I even tried to put my knowledge of the Old Gods to ponies through their dreams! But that didn't work either! They would instantly die in their sleep! Never to wake up again! And failure after failure, i realised that only i was capable of such power! That it was my destiny to defeat them! To kill you! That's what Yog-Sothoth told me anyways....."

Hearing those words Celestia started calming down.

"You...you truly did try?"

"Yes i did, for our family and for all of Creation! But mostly... for the mare that i cherish and call....'sister'."

"Nocturne..."

Celestia tried to hug him but he backed away and said in a serious tone as he wiped away his tears.

"My carrying heart has died Celestia. I can no longer care for those that would oppose me and my grand plan!"

When he said that, he pulled out a black book with a disoriented face carved on the cover of the book.

"What you see before is the book known as Necronomicon."

He said and lifted it up in the air.

"Within it lies mostly everything that there is to know about the Old Gods and i dare to say, these ancient texts are indeed evil and menacing!"

"What are you gonna do with it?" Celestia asked.

"Use it, to utterly destroy your mind! For you see, the writer of this book went insane after his dark discovery and he wrote down everything in this very book that i hold and you know what's the weirdest part? They say that he was eaten alive by an invisible monster or beast while he was walking down the streets of his town....."

"It is just a book Nocturne! How will you even use it?" Celestia.

Then on his face an evil smiled appeared and he said as he started to slowly open the dark Grimoire.

"It's very words are enough to put your mind into a state of fear! Distrust and doubt! And you are about to see it all! Just like me!"

He then opened the book and showed its contains to Celestia. She looked at some of the words that were caught by her eyes but she couldn't understand them all of them, some of the words were written in a language she didn't understand. She then took her eyes off the book and said as she raised her head to face Nocturne.

"Eh, i am sorry to say but nothing-" She immediately stoped talking when she saw that the world around her was no more, without anypony or Nocturne, just pitch black.

"What in the!"

Celestia then started feeling fear taking over. Did that happen because she looked at the book? And if so what was gonna come next?

Celestia then heard a male voice in this Void. He was chanting something in a language she never heard before. The chanting then became more and more intenss and the mysterious voice became more evil and more disoriented.

She then heard a loud roar that forced her to let out a scream and cover her eyes in complete terror. She then felt a malevolant presence behind her. An aura so evil and powerfull! She didn't want to look at it, but curious always gets the best of anypony or even anyone.

She slowly started moving her head towards that evil aura but when she saw what was behind her, she wished that she had never turned her head. Celestia fell down on the ground before it's mighty sight, she let out a powerfull none stop scream as tears started running down her eyes uncontrollably.

"NOCTURNE! PLEASE GET ME OUT!"

She begged him but there was no response.

The monster that stood before was giant beyond measure! So much that she felt like an ant before it but she knew that this was the case. It had an avaguely anthropoid outline but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind.

The monster was coming out of a see and let out another roar so intense that Celestia started truly losing it. Even though she had her eyes closed, she could still see what was going on! She saw the monster walking slowly towards a big city with tiny fish creatures moving next to it.

The world then changed again. She was surrounded by giant masses of cursed flesh with eyes looking at her intensly along with giant mouths with pointy teeth and goretest tentacles.

Each mouth was letting out its own grunt, its own moan and these sounds were piercing Celestia's mind and started slowly crushing it.

"MY GOD! PLEASE! I CANT! NO MORE!"

She said and tried to cover up her eyes but without any success. Even if she closed them and put her hooves in front of them, she could still see through!

And it was then that she heard another voice in the air.

"Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where they shall break through again. He knows where they have trod earth's fields, and where they still tread them and why no one can behold them as they tread!"

The fleshy walls around her then started closing in and she panicked at the idea of her getting close to the unspeakable walls that were around her. She picked up her sword and deceided to attack one of the tentacles but it was in vain, the tentacle wasn't scratched or damaged at all. She kept trying however, that will to survive! That fear of not knowing what's on the other side once this life ends. Drove her to fight on!

"I don't want to stay here! I-i won't!" She said in fear.

Celestia kept swinging her sword to cut her way out of this cage! She believed that there was a way out, how wrong she was.

The fleshy was finaly closed enough to the point where the tentacles grabbed a hold of her from each hoof and head. The tentacles then started pulling her hooves and the mouths started biting into her flesh.

Celestia let out screams of pain and suffering. Her body was at the verge of being destroyed but it wasn't prepared for such an amount of damage.

"OH GOD! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"

And just when she finished, her hooves along with head were seperated and those scattered pieces were instantly eaten by the mouths.

That wasn't the end of her however, Celestia found herself out in space and in front of her was Earth. She tried to express her surprise but she couldn't speak, she was just stuck in one place in the middle of space until something bad happened.

Next to the Earth, a giant portal that shadowed over the Earth appeared and from there came out six giant tentacles bigger than the Earth itself! The two tentacles wrapped themselves around the Globe while the others went right through it and some of them started hitting themselevs on the Earth's surface.

"No....this can't be real! I was....i was fighting him! There is no way that just because i looked at that book i was sent here! That's impossible!" Celestia thought to herself as she saw her half destryed world being sucked into the portal that those tentacles came through.

And after a few secconds, the Earth was sucked into the portal never to be seen again.

Celestia closed her eyes and started crying, she believed that her family along with everypony else on the planet gone, dead again. However, it wasn't her Destiny to spend the rest of her life into space!

The portal that sucked Earth reappeared under Celestia and it started sucking her in. She tried to resist it but it was no use, she wasn't strong enough both physically and mentally. And after some struggling, she came to the realisation that, if her world is dead, if everypony on that world is dead, then why bother fighting? What was she going to accomplish if she managed to escape besides saving her life?

After all, who would want to keep on living knowing that they are the last person or pony in existnce? When all those that you once knew, loved and cared about are gone? What's the point of it if you are all alone?

Celestia closed her eyes and said with smile and tears running down her cheeks.

"It was a long journey but it seems that you were right brother, you were Destined to win....i only hope that....you will manage to defeat them too."

She accepted her inevitable end that was a few seconds away and she started being sucked into the portal.

But then she felt something grabbing a hold of her hoof. She opened her eyes and saw a humanoid shadow, holding her with his hand. But it only took for her just a glance to realise who that was.

"You! There's no way.....are you Phobetor?"

"And what if i am? Won't you say a 'thank you' before asking any questions?"

"I would rather die than be manipulated by you!" She said after she realised that she can finaly speak in space.

"Die? When there is work to be done?"

"Work? Well i am sorry i don't follow you Fallen God!"

"It's simple really, you just have to kill Nocturne! But it appears that you can't do it alone. And as a result of your weakness you ended up getting access to Necronomicon's knowledge. You may think that you are fine now but you are not, back in your reality you are now crying and screaming your lungs out down on the floor while Nocturne keeps projecting more and more dark knowledge into you."

"Play whatever game you want but i won't be manipulated and forced to do your bidding like my brother! I will not hear your words!"

"I never forced him to do anything i just gave him the ideas. It was his fault for giving in to the temptations!"

"Don't try to justify your evil deeds! It won't work!"

"I am not trying to justify anything Celestia, i am just here to.....give you one final gift!"

"Keep your magics to yourself! I don't need you!"

"That's where you are wrong. It is because of me that you have survived thus far, i was the one giving you those slight unnoticeable boosts. Your immense strength? Durability? Constantly saved from certain death? Doesn't all these thing ring a bell?"

".....I, yes you were the one who saved me! But if it weren't for the personal gain that you earn i would be dead way before!"

"That is true as well."

He said, lifted her up and they both came face to face.

"Your fight with Nocturne is almost at an end! If you win then there is no way for me to come back."

"If that's the case then why are you helping me? Don't you want to return?"

"Oh i do! Very much! But watching you two fight like that brings me a massive amount of joy. But now that Nocturne deceided to start using Their powers, i wanted to give you another slight boost so that you may keep things intresting!"

Phobetor then placed his hand on Celestia's forehead and said as he started transfering a tiny portion of his power.

"Take this power Celestia! Take it, for this is the last gift that i offer you! It will make your immune to any type of mind manipulation magic, even if he destroyes your brain you will still be able to think, this also means that the Cosmic Horros will have no effect on you! On top of that, i also grant you the power to greatly surpass his physical might and as for your wounds and armor, you don't have to worry about that too, you will regenerate like Nocturne but that doesn't mean you are invincible, remember that."

Celestia heard Phobetor's voice and later found herself back to the big tower. She was on the ground and on top of her was Nocturne with the Necronomicon who had turned his hoof into a claw and was ready to cut her down but she was prepared. She lifted up her sword, cut his claw quickly before he could begin swinging it and later cut in half the Demonic Grimore and as a result, Nocturne fell back with the Necronomicon cut in half on top of his chest.

"No, no no no no! Impossible! That didn't happen just now!" Nocturne said outloud and slowly got up.

He then looked at Celestia and said in anger.

"He helped you again didn't he? TELL ME CELESTIA!"

The Alicorn Princess replied with her head down.

"Yes he did but he won't be helping me anymore. Just now he gave me the power to resist the madness that you will throw at me and that is all. From now on whatever i achieve in our battle will be by my own strength alone! Not his!"

Enraged by this, Nocturne let out his tendrils and they Consumed the remains of the Necronomicon. When he did that, his cut claw regenerated and turned back into a hoof. He then stood in two hooves and started running towards Celestia with both of his blades out and thirsty for blood.

"I am going to show just how wrong you are! Just because you got a little bit of his power, doesn't mean that it can compare to the amount that i have!" He shouted and leaped towards Celestia.

Seeing his movements, Celestia moved forward and swinged her sword towards Nocturne and cut him in half as he was coming down. His torso was seperated from his waist and he remained on the ground without moving and as for Celestia, she was covered in some of her brother's blood because he was cut in half the moment he was above her and as a result, Celestia was bathed in his blood.

"Get up Nocturne! I know you are not dead! It will take a lot more to kill you than just a cut like that!"

"Yes you are right!" Nocturne said as he looked at her.

His torso then started healing and his legs repappeared. The others ponies around then suddenly let out a gasp and Nocturne said to Celestia.

"Turn around...."

When she did that she saw that the pair of back hooves started healing up and creating a torso. After a second, the body was completed and before her stood two Nocturnes.

"Perfect Reflections Celestia! Don't you remember?" The two of them asked at the same time.

"What in the....just like when you invaded the Crystal Empire! Isn't that right? I remember when you assumed the form of Discord but the one who was captured was one of those Perfect Reflections, correct?"

"Yes! And now i am gonna keep multiplying and multiplying until you are overwhelmed! But you know what's the best part? There are no limitations to my Perfect Reflections! What i do, they can do!" The two Nocturnes said together.

After that, the two Nocturnes then started brutaly punching and cutting each other while the others looked at the horrible sight in disgust and fear of what was going to happen next.

"My cut flesh, my broken bones even the tiniest pool of blood can allow me to create a Perfect Reflection! And thus making me supreme to all!" Two Nocturne said along with the new Nocturnes that were massively reproduced and in a matter of seconds, the top of the tower was fully covered by his Perfect Reflections.

Celestia prepared her sword and started looking around to see which one of them will strike first, she tried to focus but that overwhelming feeling took over, that feeling of fear, fear of the unknown, for she now fights more than one Nocturne and she knew that one was hard enough to kill but what about one hundred? A thousand maybe? Never the less, they were there and they were looking at her intesly, like wolves at a piece of meat and only one of them was gonna claim that prize.

Celestia then started flying upwards in an attempt to escape what was about to come. The Nocturnes then all roared and started taking flight as well, stopping her five seconds after she left from the ground. The Nocturnes then started bitting into her flesh, punch her and abuse her in any way possible both physical and phycological. On top of that, some of the Nocturnes were even trying to sexualy abuse her, it would seem that a rather darker more sexualy active part of Nocturne was slowly coming to the surface.

But Celestia wasn't gonna let that happen, with her new strength she was able to push them all back and started swinging her sword like a maniac, cutting through waves and waves of dark and curropted flesh with blood flying everwhere along with grunts, moans and heavy breaths that were coming from Celestia.

Even though fear had taken over her, she had to find the real Nocturne, if she were to kill him, the other Reflections might disappear, or at least this is what she thought might happen.

"WHERE ARE YOU!" She shouted.

"We are all one and the same, there is no such thing as a real one." The Nocturnes said and later they all let out a demonic laugh so powerful that Celestia and the other ponies were forced to shut their ears.

"Then i will just have to keep cutting you all to pieces, without creating more of you!"

When she said that, her sword was charged with Holy Power (or so it seemed) and with a single blow she was able to incinerate twenty Nocturnes around her and make a breathing room for herself.

"If nothing remains from those Reflections of yours, then you won't regenerate!"

"I will kill you before you can destroy all of my Perfect Reflections!" They all said together.

"We will see about that!"

And she started incinerating the Reflections again. She was doing great and she knew that sooner or later only one will remain and that one will be the real Nocturne. However, she was being constantly attacked on the back and was forced to stop and calm down, something that allowed the Reflections to charge at her and they began bitting, punching and cutting her again.

"No....i won't lose! I didn't come here to die! I came here to put an end to your madness!"

"Well i am not the one fighting Nocturne now am i Celestia? And you dare call me mad!" The Nocturnes said together.

"Shut up!" She shouted and continiued cutting them down.

All the Nocturnes then began taking flight together up into the sky.

"What's this? Running away Nocturne?" She asked.

"I never was running away! This is just the perfect opportunity to do this!"

The Nocturnes then pointed their hooves towards Celestia, they were all charged with big Shadowbolts that were keep getting bigger and bigger.

"CELESTIA GET OUT OF THERE NOW!" King Cosmos shouted.

But she didn't have enough time, the Nocturnes released their Shadowbolts and the top of the tower became a shooting range and as they kept firing more and more smoke was created.

After that, the original Nocturne started decending and he landed on top of the tower. As he expected, the floor was covered in big cracks and it seemed like if it was ready to be destroyed any second now.

"Not yet....." He said, made a gesture with his hoof and the tower was fully rebuilt.

After that the smoke slowly cleared out and he saw Celestia sitting their covered in cuts, bruises and with blood leaking out from even the tiniest wound.

"You are still alive? Just what did Phobetor do to you?"

Celestia let out some breaths before spitting out some blood and said.

"He said that, he enjoys seeing the two of us fight and he said that he wanted to keep things intresting."

"See Celestia? I told you! He wants us to fight but if you give up, we will ruin his plan!"

"Nocturne enough, i won't hear anything more about this. Right now i am fighting to keep those that i brought back from dead alive, none of them deserved to have die to you! But if you really want to kill me then i am going to tell you this!"

She then pierced her sword on the ground and said.

"He has given me the power to be immune to the Cosmic Horrors, therefore you can no longer mess with my mind! Second, he granted me the same physical might such as yourself and even greater! And for his last gift, he allowed my wounds to rapidly heal like yours! So if you want to kill me then you will have to incinerate me like i incinerated your Reflections and then! And only then will i allow you to hurt them!"

Nocturne took some time to process this and said as he lifted his hoof up in the air.

"I see....." Then from his hoof, ten black tendrils started coming out.

"Then i will glady do so Celestia! I will use the powers of the Heart Of The World and remove you from existance!"

The tendrils then started going all the way up to the other remaining Nocturnes. The tendrils pierced their bodies and in a few seconds, they were all conected to the original. He then slightly pulled the conected tendrils and the Reflections instantly melted into Nocturne and they were Consumed.

"But do tell me, all of you."

He said as pounds of flesh started melting into his body.

"Do you still foolishly consider yourselves entities separate from the whole?"

"What do you mean by that?" Celestia asked.

Nocturne laughed and said.

"I expected an answer such as this but i always knew better than all of you! And now....I.WILL.SHOW YOU.

The dark stallion then started growing in size rapidly. He remained mostly the same except the fact that he was this time taller than Celestia herself and his shadow covered her up completely.

"Your flesh! I can change it, reshape it, remake it!"

He then made a gesture with his hoof and immediately after, Celestia's skin, flesh and organs were all ripped from her body instantly.

Everypony let out a gasp of fear and some averted their gazes from her. But Celestia was alive, thanks to His gift. If it weren't for that, she would have died. All that remained of her was her skeleton, her horn and her bone wings without the feathers but she was still able to hold her sword with her magic but she couldn't speak.

"My God.....CELESTIA!" Luna said.

"Are you alright Auntie?" Cadence asked.

She turned her heard towards them and simply noded.

Without a doubt right now Celestia was in shock, she lost her flight and her speaking.

"Come at me! With whatever strength you have left!" Nocturne taunted.

Celestia rushed at Nocturne and when she was close, she swinged her sword but without any success. It was enough for him to put his bare hoof in front of the blade to stop it, without hurting him.

"Try harder!" He said as he kept blocking her attacks.

The undead Alicorn kept on fighting but she couldn't touch him, no matter how fast she moved, his hooves would always get in the way of her attacks.

Nocturne then punched her back into the ground with some of his might and as a result, her bone wings along with her back hooves were dismantled and broken.

"No, this won't do at all. Let me fix that for you!"

He then made another gesture and her bones started repairing. But he made it so that her back hooves along with her bone wings were merged together into her right hoof and as a result she was left down on the ground crawling with a massive and extremely pointy right hoof blade.

"Oh, didn't you say a moment ago that you can regenerate? Well? What are you waiting for? Let me see you fully recover from that!"

"You will pay for this Nocturne!" Starswirl said.

"Many said that to me Starswirl, they all ended up dead, later turned into Knight Terrors and now they....hahaha, are among you!"

He said as he intensely looked at him.

"That's my moment!" Celestia thought to herself.

"Oh you will never see this coming!"

Celestia then charged her horn and immediately teleported behind Nocturne.

"Huh!"

But before Nocturne could do anything, Celestia stabbed him in his back with her tiny but powerful sword and later swinged her giant hoof blade and cut him in half.

"WHAT!" Nocturne said as he was slowly returning to his original size.

After that Celestia too started rapidly changing. Her flesh, organs and skin all returned back to her. She was complete again.

"But how!"

"I told you Nocturne, i can regenerate like you! I just had to make it seem like i can't after your....unworldly attack! Then i waited for you to drop down your guard, that happened when you took your eyes off me and started to Starswirl!"

The ponies around then started cheering for her but the battle only began because now Nocturne was going to release something none would expect.

"I see....."

He then looked down on the ground and started slowly laughing as his blades and armor disappeared.

"Don't tell me that this humiliation turned you on you masochistic freak!"

"I-it kinda did but i am not laughing about that...."

He later stood up in two hooves and did the unthinkable.

Nocturne then punched himself in his chest so brutally that he managed to open up a hole in his naked body. He later placed his hoof within and pulled out what appeared to be a black heart with tiny eyes and tentacles around it. He then lifted it up in the air and the ponies cowerd in fear.

"What did you! What did you just do to yourself!" Sessuena asked.

"This heart, it's not his is it?" Rainbow dash asked in fear.

"Ah don't know...." Applejack tried to continue.

"Alighrt fine i can't do that Nocturne you win! Or maybe i will be able to do it in season nine! Ha!" Pinkie Pie shouted and later dadbed on him.

Nocturne tried his hardest to ignored Pinkie's words but he couldn't help himself but crack a small smile.

"Well then...ok, i didn't expect that." He thought to himself.

He then cleared his throat, adapted a serious look and said.

"What i hold in my hooves is the Black Heart! And it used to be part of our world."

"Our world? What do you mean?" Celestia asked him.

"Years ago, i was sent on a mission to investegate a strange village near the shore. I was told that strange and goretest creatures were raviging the land and its inhabitants. The mission was pretty simple, search and destroy but, things turned out differently."

His words captivated the crowd, what could have possibly gone so horribly wrong that Nocturne ended up with two hearts?

"I later found out that the very Heart Of Our Planet was corrupted by Cultists and others that wished to see us destroyed. The heart was then set to explode and take with it us! I tried to destroy it, oh i did. But every time i would destroy it, the heart would just later come back! And it wouldn't stop until it exploded along with our planet!"

He then placed the Dark Heart on his forehead and said.

"And it was then that i made a difficult deceison....."

"What....what did you do?" Celestia asked.

"I had two options in that situation. I could either come back to destroy it again and again, or i could even just let it explode and kill us all! But deep down in me i knew that these two options were not good enough for me! I had to think of something else, i had to think of something better! And you know what i did? I grabbed the corrupted Heart and placed it within my chest!"

After hearing that, the ponies then started whispering among themselves.

"Nocturne....did you...really do that? For us?" Queen Galaxia thought to herself.

"How has this affected you though? I assume that you have been suffering?" Celestia asked.

"Oh i have! It was impossible for me to carry this heart! It would ravage my insides and turn my own body and organs against me! It wanted to come out so badly! But in time i was able to withstand it's corrupted energies, after all, my body was made to contain large amounts of power and the Magic of the Corrupted Heart was no different!"

He then threw the heart behind him and it started slowly expanding at the edge of the tower, it started growing bigger and it later covered itself by a fleshy cocoon.

"Even though the Heart lost most of it's power the moment i placed it within in, it still has some left! and i am going to use it to defeat you and later Consume the Heart for myself!"

The cocoon was then split open and the Black Heart revealed itself to them. At a simple glance everypony cowered in fear before its goretest form.

It was a giant dark purple fleshy beating heart with a pony coming out of it. The heart was covered by red eyes and tentacles.The pony had the same color scheme of dark purple and it had six long tentacles coming out of its head with mouths at the end of each tentacle, also the pony had three red eyes placed on top of each other right at the center of the pony's face, with very long hooves and sharp claws at the end.

The heart then started letting out powerful screams and the world underneeth them started shaking. Nocturne then started laughing as he stood up in two hooves in front of the heart.

"OPEN YOUR EYES AND WITHNESS THE HEART OF OUR WORLD! PROGENITOR OF LIFE! FATHER AND MOTHER! ALPHA AND OMEGA! OUR CREATOR! AND OUR DESTROYER!"

However, the moment he finished his words, the chest of the pony opened up like a mouth and a giant tentacle with came out, piercing his back and later coming out of his chest. Nocturne let out a small gasp but before he could do anything, he was pulled back and later devoured into the chest of the pony that was coming out of the Heart.

"Nocturne!" Celestia shouted.

The Heart let out a scream and then three tentacles came out and attacked her. She however was able to dodge them just in time and fly away into safety.

"Celestia listen to me! You have to destroy the Heart! Who knows what it's capable of!" King Cosmos shouted.

"I will father! I won't let this thing hurt any of you!"

When she said that Celestia charged into the fray with her sword ready to cut down the Heart of Darkness.

However, the moment she was close to, six small mouths immerged from its fleshy body and started breathing out a toxic gas. When she came in contact with the gas, her skin started to slowly rot away and her eyes were rapidly tearing up but thanks to her regenerative powers that she was gifted, the gas was not able to completely destroy her body and leave her in a state of pain.

After that, a long tentacle came out of the Heart and pierced her chest, destoying some of her armor in the proccess. The Heart then lifted her up and later started slamming her onto the ground mercilessly and as a result of this brutal assault, something unexpected happened, her left hoof was cut off and later her back leg was also severed from her torso.

The Heart then let go of her and released a powerful roar into the air.

The eyes of the ponies around were fixed on Celestia, they gazed in terror at their last hope, fearing that if she were defeated, it would mean the end for them as well. She was not going to die however, her self healing powers kicked in and her dismembered parts returned back to their original places.

"Princess Celestia! Are you ok?" Twilight asked.

"I....i am fine Twilight, i just.....i didn't expect that...." Celestia said and slowly got up.

"That was horrible! Yet her body is back to how it was!" Rarity said in a surprised tone.

The Heart then prepared another attack but it was stopped and it let out a scream of pain.

"What's going on now!" Celestia said as she had her sword ready to defend herself.

And then, they saw Nocturne's head slowly coming out of the Heart's chest. He pushed more and more to the point where he came face to face with the Heart. He placed his hooves on its face, tendrils then came out and wrapped themselves around the Heart's head, he later jumped down and said as he looked at himself who was covered in blood.

"I never thought that i would swim inside a heart and especially this one! Oh but it was so warm in there truth to be told. I felt like a baby, still in my mother's womb..."

The Heart let out a scream and began attacking Nocturne with its claw. He however used his magic and blasted the claw before it could touch him. He then began pulling the tendrils that were still stuck on the Heart and Crossbleser quickly shouted knowing what's gonna happen next.

"CELESTIA STOP HIM BEFORE HE CONSUMES THE HEART! QUICKLY!"

Realising what is going on, Celestia took flight and prepared to cut the tendrils that were attached to the Heart but just like before, Nocturne used his magic, created dark chains that came from the ground and holded her there.

"I should have done this the moment i defeated you! But at that time, i didn't know if i could handle all this power! But now i am sure that i can!" He said addressing the Heart.

"Nocturne stop! You don't know what will happen if you Consume it!" Celestia tried to stop him.

"Oh we will find out, in a second or two!"

The ponies around were terrified by the idea of him Consuming such a powerful being. Nopony knew what horror awaited them or what will Celestia have to fight next.

He then pulled the tendrils with so much force that the Heart split in two and it started melting into Nocturne. In just a few seconds, he was covered by the giant mass of melting flesh and after that he just like the Heart was covered by a giant fleshy cocoon.

"This is so bad!" Fluttershy said.

"Keep it tagether everypony!" Applejack said.

"Applejack is right! We have to stay calm and try to find a way to help the Princess!" Twilight announced.

"I am sorry Twilight Sparkle but we can't help her, the spell that binds us to the ground can not be broken nor can we use any of our magic. It's just her versus him...." Starswirl said.

The coccon was then opened up and they saw Nocturne in his new goretest form. Nocturne was now a very tall black creature with tentacles for legs and on his back, he also had very long dark claws and on his chest they saw a beating Heart in the middle. On top of that, the Heart was covered by mouths, blue glowing eyes like his and there was a big grin carved on his face with pointy yellow black teeth.

Nocturne started looking at himself and later on he let out a laugh as he was set on fire. He then made a gesture with this claw and it started raining, he later made the gesture again and it stopped raining.

"Hmmm....interesting!" The Unholy Creature said.

He was then covered by a purple aura, he made a gesture and the world around them was covered by light. When the light cleared out they found themselves in a very familiar location.

"Is that....Canterlot?" Luna asked.

"What did you say?" Celestia asked.

"She is telling the truth Celestia, we are back at Equestria!" Nocturne said.

"We are back?"

"Yes, i deceided that it would be a perfect place to end it all in the place where everything started! Canterlot!"

It was true, his whole castle had teleported on top of Celestia's completely crushing it under its mighty dark stones.

"And thanks to my new powers i can now do even this!"

Then with another gesture, the sun that was in the air immediately disappeared and was replaced by the moon. He then made the same gesture again and the moon was replaced by the sun. After that, it started snowing something that caught everypony off guard.

"Snow?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"But how?" Starlight continued.

"You did that too right?" Celestia asked him.

"Yes i did. Thanks to the Heart i can do anything! I now hold dominion over the Sun and the Moon! The very weather itself! And i can also do this....."

He channeled his dark powers and the ground bellow them started shaking. After that, a mountain in the distance was split in half and raging lava started emerging on the surface, burning everything it touched.

"No way!" Cadence said.

"What just happened!" Luna asked.

"I can also create Earthquakes! But most importantly, for me at least, i can make it rain! And you do know how much i love rain don't you?"

Celestia pointed her sword at him and said with a face full of anger.

"You don't intimidate me Nocturne! No matter what you do! I will defeat you!"

"Come at me then! I am going to prove you just how powerless you trully are! For now i possess the power of every creature on our planet! Nothing can kill me! I have no weaknesses. I AM THE PERFECT BEING!"

Still not convinced by his words, Celestia took flight towards Nocturne with her sword ready to cut him down. Seeing her advance, Nocturne said as his eyes started glowing intensely.

"Have a taste of this!"

Then from his eyes two blue lazer beams came out towards Celestia. She was able to dodge both of them and continue her attack. She then used her own magic and casted her own lazer beam to provide a distraction but the moment Nocturne was hit, he was gone.

"What!"

He later appeared behind her and said as he grabbed her head with his giant claw.

"Your puny magics won't save you sister! The magics that you were taught can not compare to what i have become!"

He then started slapping her on the ground as he laughed maniacally and with each slap, blood would come out and wounds would appear on her body. However, thanks to her Dark Gift, she was able to regenerate back to her normal state, that didn't stop him though. He placed Celestia right in front of his face and she looked into his blue glowing eyes.

"Have a taste of the Truth!"

Then from his eyes again, blue lazer beams came out but this time they were more powerful and they passed through Celestia's armor, bare chest and came from the other side. When the lazers touched the ground they released an explosion of darkness and Celestia was knocked back on the ground.

She felt immense pain but she couldn't breath, the lazer beams struck her lungs and rendered them useless, for the time being at least. She channeled her energies and tried to make her body regenerate faster.

"I won't let you live any longer!"

Nocturne then made a gesture and it started raining wildly with the skies turning black and him disappearing. Celestia then got up as her wounds along with armor fully regenerated.

"Where are you!" She asked as she looked around with her sword ready.

"Here!"

He then appeared from behind her and released his lazer beams. The lazer beams blew a giant hole in her chest, immediately destroying all her vital organs but just like him, she regenerated and turned around to face him but he was gone.

Even though Celestia was keeping up with him, the other ponies around were not comfortable with the idea that she was able to fully regenerate. It was not normal for them, such things can't happen! And the fact that it was Phobetor's gift that allowed her to sustain herself made it even worse for the ponies that cared for her.

"Stop hiding and face me coward!"

"I am not hiding!"

He then immediately appeared right in front of her and attacked her with his claw. His attacke proved successful and Celestia's face was torn appart. Her eyeballs jumped out of their sockets and her jaw fell down on the ground along with her cut tongue. That made the Sun Princess to panic and she dropped her sword out of fear.

She tried to pick up her sword but before she could do so, one of the rain drops that fell before her immediately turned into Nocturne's new form. He grabbed her by her head and placed her right in front of his eyes.

"I will destroy you! From the inside!"

The tentacles on his back then pierced and entered her body from multiple spots. The tentacles then started moving rapidly inside of her, destroying every organ, every wall of flesh and bones. The pain was unimaginable but she had to do something. An idea then poped into her head, she charged her horn and her eyes started glowing.

"What are you doing now Celestia?!

"This!" She shouted as her jaw, eyeballs and basicaly her whole face regenerated.

The very sun then pierced the dark clouds and a beam of Light was shot on Nocturne's face, completely destroying it.

"Now's my chance!" She thought to herself.

She used her sword and cut Nocturne's tentacles, thus setting her free. She later aimed for the Heart in the middle of his chest and lunged herself forward.

Nocturne's face then fully regenerated but before he could stop her, her blade pierced his heart and he let out a demonic scream before melting into a pool of sticky flesh. After some seconds however, Nocturne came out of the pool back into his original form and in front of him was the Corrupted Heart, still beating strong. He then started breathing heavily and thought to himself.

"My body! It's in so much pain! I have to get the Heart back or else this might be the end!"

He then started slowly crawling towards the Heart.

"But how did she beat me? I was supposed to be immune to anything related to this world's magic! Oh wait! That's it, the sword itself is not made out of regular steel and it's not just magical either! It's something far worse! That is why she was able to cut me down!" He thought to himself again.

But before he could reach the Heart, he saw Celestia charging towards him with her sword ready to finaly kill him.

"This is the end Nocturne!" Celestia shouted.

Her sword however came in contact with another. It was holded by a tall Allicorn stallion with dark skin, yellow eyes and a long white mane. On top of that he was wearing a red chestplate with spikes on his shoulder and the sword that he was carrying was a long orange blade with tiny razor sharp edges around the blade of the sword. His cutie mark however at first seemed strange to Celestia, it was a big Black Sun.

"Who are you?" Celestia asked in a surprised tone but the stallion did not reply.

Then from his horn an orange aura appeared and that glow turned into three fires balls that were sent towards her and that attack forced her to back away.

"You need to pull back until you recover from the Heart's corruption. I will handle this until then." The mysterious stallion said.

Nocturne slowly got up and asked the stallion.

"You do know who that is don't you Black Sun? Are you sure you want to fight her?"

"It's because of who she is that i must fight her! It's my duty!"

Nocturne took a few seconds to think about it and later said.

"Alright, she is all yours but you will leave the killing blow to me, i need to Consume both her and her sword."

"Your wish is my command."

The ponies around were curious about the identity of the stallion that stood before them. He didn't appear to be Corrupted like Nocturne or anything like that. He seemed like a normal stallion.

"Just for how long will you keep hiding behind others Nocturne? Your fight is with me yet you send others to fight for you! Or do you maybe want the same thing that happened to Lynthea to happen to him as well?" Celestia shouted.

Nocturne however let out an evil laugh something that surprised her.

"What happend to Lynthea will not happen to him! And as for what you said about fighting behind others i only say this dear Celestia. In the end, only Victory matters, the how you achieve it is another thing."

Her attention then turned towards the unknown stallion.

"And who are you anyways? Why do you risk your life for him? From the looks of it i can say that you are not one of his Knight Terrors!"

"You are right Celestia, i am not like them. I am....something more. You should also know that you and i share a lot more things than you would expect."

"What are you talking about? Just who are you?"

Nocturne then let out an evil laugh as a big throne of flesh was created at the edge of the tower behind him. He placed his hoof on the stallion's shoulder and said with an evil smile.

"I expect great things from you....my son!"

The words that came out of Nocturne's mouth were not something that anypony would even consider but he said them. Before them was none other than Nocturne's first son.

"N-no way! That's impossible! You are a father?! But you said your children had died! All of them! Was that also a lie?" Celestia asked him.

"It was not a lie Celestia. They did die but i was able to recreat them using fragments from my very soul. You see, thanks to my Consuming powers i can access any memory i want. This includes my memories! The memories of my children when they were still foals for example and thanks to these images i was able to bring them all back exactly the way i remember them, the only downside to that is that i had to raise them as fillies and colts. Well, i wouldn't consider that a downside, it was rather satisfying actually."

He later reached for the beating Heart that was on the ground, picked it up and after that his chest opened up like a box and placed the Heart within. He then made his way to the fleshy throne, sat down and said.

"The one that you see before you right now is my first descendant. Though it wouldn't matter to you much, only Celestia, isn't that right?" He asked her with an evil smile.

Celestia was confused by his words. But after a few seconds, she realised what he meant.

"No....this is unreal! You don't mean that this stallion is!"

"Oh but he is! Isn't that right Black Sun?"

Black Sun then looked over to Celestia and said.

"He is right....mother!"

That last word took everypony by even bigger surprise. Not only did Nocturne had a secret son but the very mother of that child was none other than Celestia herself.

"Liar! This can't be true! Sister please tell me this isn't true!" Luna asked.

"Princess Celestia, he is lying isn't he? It can't be true right? H-he is your brother after all, right?!" Twilight asked in a terrified tone.

"Well, technically no. I was adopted so no it was not Incest."

"Even so! All of our siblings lived under the illusion that you were related to us! At that time when we did it, we were both terrified, don't you remember?"

"Celestia...." Queen Galaxia started as well.

From the beginning of her life, nothing as embarrassing as this have ever happened to her. But now that everypony knows that she had a child with Nocturne, her own brother, was something to be ashamed of. She couldn't deny them the truth though, not anymore.

"Yes, it is true everypony....i am sorry...."

When she finished her sentance, she could almost feel the disgrace and the disgust of the ponies around her. How could she have done such a terrible thing? How?

"Oh come don't be like that. It's not her fault really." Nocturne said.

"You are the one to talk!" Celestia immediately answered.

"We were both young at that time, we had needs, desires and there is also this thing called Hormones. Even so, this is the product of our relationship Celestia. Our son! Black Sun! And just like you, he too has power over the sun and just like me he too can enter your dreams and fill them with Nightmares!"

Black Sun's horn then started glowing. The dark clouds and later the rain dissapeared and the only thing that remained was the Sun, shining down on Celestia's and Nocturne's heir.

"But unlike you mother, i plan on using the heat of the Sun to leave my foes in utter agony! In other words, leave YOU in utter agony!" Black Sun said and pointed his sword at her.

"You wouldn't dare! Even though it's possible, it is aslo very dangerous! If you do that there is no doubt that all of us will turn into ash!" Celestia said.

"Relax, this was never my intention. I will just make it so that only you suffer and when you are beaten, father will Consume you and your blade! But before that, i want to see your skills with a sword, mother!"

He then immediately took flight and reached Celestia with his blade ready to attack.

"What the!" She said and tried to block his attack but failed and ended up getting scratched on her cheek.

Black Sun the followed up with a punch and knocked Celestia back on the ground. He then flew up in the air and came charging down on her. She however rolled out of the way of his deadly attack, she then immediately got up and charged her horn.

"Dull!" He said and prepared himself for her attack.

She then released from her horn a bream of Light towards Black Sun but the only thing that he did was simply place his hoof in front of the attack and the beam was deflected back to her but before she could do anything, the beam of Light hit her and she let out a grunt of pain.

"You need to try harder if you want to best me!"

Black Sun then charged his own horn and started throwing big fire balls at Celestia, this time however she was able to dodge a few of them and the rest burned her naked flesh a little, causing her to grunt and slightly tear up.

"But if you want more, i will gladly spice things up a bit!" When he said that, the tiny razor sharp edges around the blade started rotating and later were covered up by flames, creating a flaming chainsword!

Celestia along with everypony were terrified by the sight of the flaming chainsword rotating at such a high speed and on top of that, it was also burning and without any warning, Black Sun charged again towards his mother.

Just in the nick of time Celestia was able to put her blade up and defend herself but his strength was greater than hers and her blade fell down on the ground. His hoof was then set on fire and punched her with so much force that she was thrown a few meters away from him. Celestia was left down on the ground with some of her mane burnt and she was in pain, so much that she started to sob and tremble in fear.

Black Sun later picked up the fallen sword with his magic. He inspected it and later said.

"I have it father, it is yours now!"

"No...." Celestia slowly said and got up.

She then however, felt something wet running on her cheek, she quickly turned around and saw Nocturne with his massive monstrous tongue out, laughing a little.

"You have done well Black Sun, i am proud of you. But we still have something to take care of don't we?"

Celestia heard a mechanical noise from behind her that was generated by her son's chainsword. She tried to turn around to face him knowing that if she didn't, she would die by his sword. She wasn't fast enough however and she felt massive pain on her back followed by a hoof on her shoulder and before she knew it, she was pulled up and stayed there on two hooves.

"NOW DIE CELESTIA!" Black Sun shouted and pushed his sword on her back and came out of her chest.

This caused Celestia to scream out in pain, followed by more crying and blood spilling all over the ground. He then started moving the chainsword up and down causing her even more pain and suffering that terrified both her and the others around. The pain on its own though, was so intense that she felt like if she was about to faint and die of blood lose, she would if it weren't for the Dark God's Gift. She tried to concentrate on her regenerating powers but it was futile. She was under so much pressure that it was almost impossible to do anything.

"Does it hurt mother? Tell me does it? Do you feel your life slipping away from your grasp?!"

She couldn't reply however, she couldn't even form a single expression but that of fear and the fact that she couldn't die as easily as before made it even worse. Even though she could regenerate like Nocturne, that only ment that she would stay alive long enough to feel every detail of pain that she was offered.

"This belongs to you father." Black Sun and gave his father the sword that Celestia had been using the entire time.

Nocturne's hoof turned into a claw and grabbed the blade, he inspected it slowly from hilt to tip and later said.

"As i suspected, it is not a holy weapon indeed."

"Then what is it father?"

"Hmmm, it's something very familiar, i just can't put my hoof on it. These....dark energies that come from the sword....."

"Don't you dare!" Celestia started and later let out a grunt of pain.

"Still strugling? What did i tell you Celestia, it was my destiny to defeat you, you couldn't do anything to stop it.

"I don't! Ahh! Believe you or any of this so called destiny that you speak off! Nghh!"

"Be silent!" Black Sun said and started moving the blade around her body again, causing her to cry more in pain.

"Father knows what he is doing! He is trying to save Creation from Their evil! A goal more righteous than anything else and i am willing to sacrifice anything so that my father may achieve his dreams! Even you, mother."

Hearing that, Nocturne let out a laugh and said as he proudly looked at Black Sun.

"I knew you had it in you. You trully are my son!" The Dark Stallion said.

"I appreciate your kind words father," He said and bowed his head. "But please, Consume the blade now and finish her off, we have to prepare for the ritual of Creation."

"Yes you are right....that ritual...." Nocturne said and lowered his head appearing to be sad.

Tendrils then came out of Nocturne's claw, they were then wrapped around the blade and they started squeezing it in an attempt to Consume it but nothing happened, the blade did not melt.

"Father is something wrong?"

"Yes! The blade was supposed to be Consumed! Why doesn't it work?!" Nocturne said and squeezed harder but nothing happened again.

Nocturne then fell down on the ground in pain. He placed his hoof and claw on his head and started screaming.

"FATHER!"

With that opportuniy, Celestia pushed her head back and strack Black Sun with it. She then pushed herself forward and as a result, she was able to escape from the grasp of the chainsword and her wounds along with her broken armor fully regenerated. She later used her magic, picked up her sword and started rushing towards Nocturne.

"You think that i will just stay idle?!" He said and charged his horn.

"HAVE SOME SUN!" Then from the very Sun itself, a big beam of burning energy came charging down on the tower. The beam did not stop and it followed Celestia.

"Oh n, oh no!" She said and started moving away from the beam.

Even if she was far away from it however, she could still feel the burning heat that the beam would radiate and it would slowly burn her skin.

"Run all you want! This very beam that i created is as hot as the Sun, well not fully but it's still strong enough to burn you even if you are far away from it!"

"You are crazy! If this beams gets any closer to the others!"

"I couldn't care less! My father's dream will be fulfilled no matter the cost!"

He then fixed his gaze towards Nocturne and asked.

"Father what's happening?!" He asked but there was no reply, only intense screams of agony.

As for Nocturne, he was hearing in his head a dark voice talking to him.

"A futile attempt Nocturne! You will never Consume that sword nor will you win the war against me and the rest of the Old Gods!"

"OH I WILL! I WILL BRING PEACE TO CREATION! YOU WONT STOP ME! NOTHING WILL!"

"You talk about Peace yet you have sinned and waged war only to increase your own powers! And now, not even the ritual of Creation can help you! No matter what you create! In the end, the sacrifice of the world that you create along with this will be for nothing! THE CHILDREN THAT YOU BROUGHT BACK WILL DIE AGAIN FOR NOTHING DO YOU HEAR ME NOCTURNE!"

"STOOOOOOOOOOOP!" He shouted and slammed the ground.

When he did that the tower started shaking a little and Celestia and Black Sun were thrown off balance. The sun beam however kept chasing Celestia and she could feel the heat growing stronger, even if the beam was away from her, if she didn't move, she was gonna fry.

"Oh no!" She said quickly and stopped the beam with her magic.

"You fell for it!" Black Sun shouted and summoned two more Sun beams that came from behind her.

Seeing the other two close in, she charged her magic and stopped them too. This whole proccess however was becoming more and more difficult and she would soon lose control over the beams.

Meanwhile, Nocturne seemed to be getting back to his senses. He got up and looked with pride at his son for what he was about to do.

"Father! Are you alright!"

"Don't worry about me, i am fine. You now only have to focus on what you are doing now!"

"Very well father! Watch as i destroy her!" He said with a smile and started pushing the sun beams harder with his magic.

As for Celestia, she struggled and struggled but she would eventually succumb to fatigue and burn.

"I have to do something! I have to find a- that's it!" She thought to herself.

"NOW DIE!" Black Sun shouted and pushed with all his might the Sun Beams towards that location in which Celestia was in.

When she heard those words, she knew that Black Sun was giving it his all and she executed her plan.

"It is now you who fell for my trap....."

"What?!" Nocturne and Black Sun said.

She then immediately casted a spell and after a blink of an eye, the two ponies switched places. Black Sun was teleported to the loaction of where the beams were gonna hit and Celestia right in front of Nocturne.

"GET OUT OF THERE!" Nocturne shouted when he realised what happened.

He then charged some of his power into his claw but Celestia used her own horn and pierced his claw with it, stopping him from casting a spell.

"YOU CRAZY BITCH! YOU WOULD LET YOUR OWN SON DIE!?"

"He is not my son!" When she said that, she charged her own horn with powerfull magic, released it and as a result, Nocturne's whole hoof was blown out of his shoulder.

"FATHER!" But before the young stallion could extend his wings and fly away from the death trap, it was already too late.

When the beams hit him, his whole torso, hooves, head, wings and horn were all completely incenerated, leaving behind only his back legs and nothing more.

Celestia turned her head around and looked at the remaining of her son. Nocturne then punched her out of the way and run towards the remains while his other hoof was still on the ground.

He fell down on the ground, grabbed both of his son's legs, squeezed them hard and said.

"Black Sun.....why? My son...i am sorry!" He squeezed even more and tears started falling from his cheeks.

Celestia and the others didn't say anything, a lot of things were crossing their minds at that moment and especially Celestia. Even though that wasn't her true son, she still felt a little sad for what she did.

The dark stallion then crushed the two legs on the ground and caused them to be Consumed and he later stood up with his back towards all of them.

"Say Celestia....i have a question for you...." He said calmly.

"W-what is it?" She asked in fear of what was gonna happen next. From what she could tell, Nocturne loved his son a lot and now that he is dead, who knows what he is gonna do next?

"I ask you why.....why must everything that i love, die in the end?" He said with his back still to them.

Celestia didn't have any answer however, even though she thought of saying "i don't know" the only thing that would come from saying that is a very angry Nocturne coming towards her with the intent to kill.

"I asked you something Celestia....if you don't answer i am gonna be! VERY MAD! VERY FUCKING MDA" He said with his back still to them.

"I don't know Nocturne!" She answered quickly out of fear.

"I am not the one who decides who lives and who dies! There are some things that happen, things that we cannot change or stop." She finished.

When she said that, his head immediately turned 360 degrees around. This caused her and the others to gasp in fear.

"LIES!" He shouted and the rest of his body turned around.

"YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED WHAT YOU DID! YOU COULD HAVE SURRENDER! YOU COULD HAVE SPARED MY SON'S LIFE! FOR THAT I WILL KILL YOU CELESTIA! YOU HEAR ME? I WILL FUCKING CRUSH YOU!"

Instead of rushing towards her however, something else happened. His body started growing bigger and bigger, his voice turned into growls, his right hoof turned into a massive claw with tentacles around it while from his blown out hoof a massive red blade came out similar to the ones that he has and his wings were sucked into his back and as for his face, his blue glowing eyes were sucked into his flesh and were replaced by two big mouths with sharp pointy teeth.

"What monstrosity is this?! How can such a beast exist?!" Luna asked.

"Oh my God....just how much powers does he still have?!" Twilight asked.

"I don't know Twilight but this is getting worse by the second...i don't think that Celestia will be able to defeat him." Cadence said.

Nocturne who had now turned into a horrific beast, he let out a roar and charged toward Celestia. His big shadow was slowly gonna cover her up and she would definitely die. But she wasn't gonna let him kill her like that and now that his wings were gone, she decided to use her own and fly up in the air away from him. She later used her magic and started throwing bolts of Light at him.

That attack only angered him and he let out an even louder scream. After that, he stomped the ground and from it, spiked chains came out. The chains then lunched themselves towards her, wrapped around her hooves and started pulling her down. She struggled and tried to release herself but not only did it prove futile but it also angered the mindless beast bellow her.

Celestia gasped and tried to cut the chain with her sword but when the edge of the blade touched the chain, she felt electricity running through her body, hurting her and the spiked chain was squeezed more around her back hooves. Nocturne then violently pulled her down so hard, that she immediately reached the floor. He then hit her with his claw right on her face and pierced his giant blade right through her chest and later threw her away.

Celestia started to get used to the pain that was inflicted on her. She has suffered so much from the start of their fight but she was able to survive and now with this new "gift" she might have a chance to win.

The monster that stood before her let out a powerful roar as it started scratching its face with its giant claw, causing a lot of blood to come out rapidly. He then went on all fours and from his back, big thick worms started coming out, trully a disgusting sight that forced most of the ponies around to look away.

The worms started crawling towards her very fast and when the first one was close, it jumped on her but she was able to cut it in mid air but just when she did that, a green liquid was released from the worm, that fell on top of Celestia right hoof and she started screaming in pain.

It would seem that the green liquid was some sort of acid, so powerful that pierced right through her skin, into her flesh and revealed her bone a little. She started slowly regenerating but there wasn't enough time, the worms kept coming out of Nocturne's back and she had to stop them before reaching her. She focus all of her magic into those worms and threw them hard right on Nocturne's back! And as a result, the acid burnt away most of his back along with the worms that kept coming out.

"She got him!" Rarity said.

"Keep going Princess! You can do it!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

The beast fell down in pain but he wasn't done yet. He smashed the ground with his claw and then immediately from bellow Celestia pointy bloodied blades came out and she let out a gasp when one of these blades pierced right through her right already injured hoof and lifted it up, she tried to break free, she pulled her hoof out but without any success. And with that, Nocturne had the opportunity to cut her down and he did just that! He got up from the ground and started running towards her.

Seeing that terrible sight, the ponies around were sacred to find out what is gonna happen next but as for Celestia, she was the most scared of all because a very angry and mindless Nocturne was running towards her and his knew form made him even more intimidating to her eyes.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit! What do i do?! Why can't i regenerate faster?!" She thought to herself.

She started focusing on her powers more in order to boost the regeneration rate but that still wasn't enough, she was under too much pressure and fear to be able to fully concentrate. She then noticed that Nocturne was getting closer by the second and she had to act fast and find a way to escape or she would be done for.

She then looked at her injured hoof, the acid had done a lot of damage to it and on top of that it was pierced by a blade that came out of the ground, she had a few options and one of them was the most painful and disturbing to her. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and waited.

"What is she doing? Can't she see that he is getting close?!" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh no, i can't look." Fluttershy said and covered her eyes.

"Celestia get out of there quick!" Queen Galaxia shouted in terror of what was going to happen to her child.

She didn't move however, she ignored their voices and waited for Nocturne to get close.

The dark beast lifted its giant blade up in the air and started swinging it down and with that happening, Celestia made her unexpected move. The moment the blade came down, Celestia pulled herself away and exposed to his attack her injured hoof and as a result of that, her hoof was cut off and she was free.

The crowd gasped at this sight and as for Celestia, she was both in pain and fear. But she didn't lose focus of what she planned to do next. She swinged her sword with that remaining willpower along with rage and cut the blades that were stuck on the ground, she then immediately used her magic and threw them on Nocturne, piercing his flesh and throwing him off balance.

"I've got you now!" Celestia shouted and drove her blade right on Nocturne's massive chest.

She then started forcefully moving the blade upwards to the point where his head was split in half along with his torso.

"I am puting an end to you right now! DIE!" She then charged her magic again and started firing bolts of Light at him mixed with fire bolts, ensuring that this time he will die.

All this magic that was thrown at Nocturne started to weaken him and put him in a calm state, all of his rage was slowly disappearing, he later fell back on the ground due to the massive amount of force and later, he returned back to his normal self but that giant cut that Celestia inflected on him remained. His torso and head were both split in half, revealing his organs along with the two hearts that he possessed. The Heart Of Darkness and his original one.

"Did i do it? Please God tell me i did....." Celestia thought to herself.

The ponies around look with disgust at the Nocturne's corpse but something that caught their attention was the fact that, both of his hearts were still beating strong, even at the state that he was in. Was he alive however? Or was he truly dead?

"Celestia are you alright?!" King Cosmos asked still worried about her cut off hoof.

"Yeah, i am now....." After she finished her sentance, her hoof started slowly regenerating and after some seconds it was fully healed.

Some ponies however, even greatful, were still troubled about all this regenerating. Healing with magic is one thing but regenerating limbs organs and being able to still live after all your skin, flesh and organs were gone was unnatural beyond words.

"Keep your guard up Celestia, it's not over yet!" Crossbleser said.

"But, why would you say that? Nocturne is defeated, there is no way that he can come back from this.....right?" Twilight asked.

"That's right, how can he come back, he is definitely done! I mean look at him." Applejack said.

Crossbleser let out a sight and said.

"It's not that simple! He is so much more than you think."

"Crossbleser is right, he is not dead yet! Just look at his hearts, they still beat! And now look at us!The powers that bind us haven't been dispelled yet, which means only one thing...." Starswirl said as he pointed at Nocturne.

Celestia started processing all this information before quickly turning around to see that Nocturne was slowly getting back on the ground in two hooves. His great wound wasn't healed, he just stood there in two hooves with his torso and head split in two.

"By the Creator....." Sessuena started. Still surprised by what happened to her old friend.

"Such hideousness.....it can't be!" Rarity said.

"I shouldn't be surprised realy.....even after your spine was pulled from your back along with your head, you were still able to live, so why is this any different?!" Celestia thought to herself.

After that, he started to slowly walk towards Celestia while still being in two hooves. This time however, Celestia did not wait for him to make another move, instead, she used her magic and threw at him Fire balls to cut him down in his tracks. But what happened afterwards was not something that they expected.

From the start of his wound, a giant tongue that was covered by pointy and abhorrent teeth came out. The tongue simple touched the fire balls and immediately disappeared as if the tongue had Consumed the spell itself. Celestia tried the same tactic again and charged her spell but just like before, the moment the tongue touched the flaming spheres, they simple disappeared.

Nocturne then started to slowly move forward and just like his form, his movements were also abhorent and disturbing.

"No room for hesitation.....i must face this head on!" Celestia thought to herself and rushed towards the horror that stood before her.

Celestia flew up in the air and charged down on him, with the edge of her sword forward ready to strike him down. Lucky for her however, the blade was able to pass through his flesh and tear it appart but she wasn't quick enough to escape when that giant tongue started wrapping itself around her.

Nocturne tightened the grip of his tongue around her and started squeezing her, something that forced her to cry out in pain and regret her choice of attack. She tried to fight back but she felt her grip over magic to weaken each second she was trapped. That wasn't gonna stop her however, she was gonna give it her all and she would defeat Nocturne, even at the cost of her own life, all that matters is Nocturne dying.

She let out a powerful cry and with her strength of Will she was able to use her magic, swing her sword and cut Nocturne's tongue in half, releasing herself and put Nocturne in a state of pain. And with that opportunity right before her, she started swinging her sword and completely cutting Nocturne into multiple pieces, with blood and broken ribs flying everywhere along with corrupted organs.

Then from the pool of blood, the organs, the broken ribs and the blood itself started all merging together and after a second, Nocturne stood before them again but this time, something was different.

"Oh Celestia you have no idea! NO FUCKING. IDEA! HOW MAD I AM RIGHT NOW!"

She, along with everypony else noticed that his tail had changed, instead of being a dark mist in the shape of a tail, it was a dark fully fleshed scaled dragon tail. After that, his face and body started chaning too, his dark armor disappeared, along with his twin red blades and his whole body from head to hoof was covered by scales along with his wings! The moment he opened his mouth, Celestia saw fire slowly coming out and by instic, she flew away from him quickly and it was a good thing that she did. Nocturne then started breathing fire all the way to the other side of the tower and he stopped the moment he saw Celestia up in the air.

"HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!" The dark stallion said and later flew up into the clouds, lost from their sight.

Celestia landed on the ground and started looking around.

"You are not running away now are you? Come back and fight me! So that we may finaly reach a conclusion!"

There was no reply but she knew that he was close, somewhere among the clouds. However! That silence was cut short right after, because from the skies, a giant black dragon came crushing down on the tower, completely destroying it and knocking back the platforms away a little.

As a result of that action, the crowd lost its balance but didn't fell down, they were still held by the dark magics of Nocturne.

"He can turn into a dragon?!" King Cosmos exlaimed with a surprised tone in his voice.

"Oh no! This is bad! He is nothing like the dragons that i have seen nor read before!" Spike said in fear.

"That is the least of our concerns! We have to find a Celestia!" Galaxia quickly said and tried to move. But no mater how much she struggled, she couldn't move nor use any of her magic.

The destroyed tower then immediately started rebuilding itself and on top of some debris they saw Celestia who was unconscious on the ground.

"Look, she is over there!" Sessuena said and pointed at her direction.

"She doesn't have a single scratch on her....oh Creator, give me a sign, is it true that she was granted power by The Fallen God?" Crossbleser thought to himself.

When the tower fully rebuilt itself, Celestia slowly got up and was greated with the most horrific sight. Before her stood a black dragon, so big and massive that its wings surpased the clounds, it had blue glowing eyes and one bigger one in his mouth, completely covering it up, he also had those massive dark claws that could easily shred to pieces anything they touched.

"That dragon....oh i remember, you turned into that thing after your fight with the Tantabus." Celestia said and pointed her sword at him without fear.

The massive dragon let out a roar and swinged his claw at her, seeing that, Celestia charged her magic from her horn, thus creating a beam of light that stopped the attack, but Nocturne was persistant, he would let her overcome him. He then used his other claw and attacked her from the other side only to have it blocked as well. Even though she had blocked both of his attacks, the claws were still coming for her and he was forced to keep on using her magic to push them back.

Nocturne then charged his own magic and from the giant eye in his mouth a laser beam came out and was heading towards Celestia, she managed to put her sword in front of her and it proved effective and exhausting at the same time. The blast from the beam destroyed the tower once again.

"Not again...." Twilight said.

After some seconds, the tower was back to normal but Celestia was nowhere to be found.

"What the hey is goin on? She was there a minute ago." Applejack said.

And Nocturne was sharing the same confusion with everypony else.

Celestia was fine however, the moment the tower was blown to bits she used the smoke that was created and slowly flew behind Nocturne and landed on his back. She tried her best to keep her breathing down and not make any sudden moves despite the fact that her heart was pounding very fast and her legs were trembling.

"Where is she? She is gone." Crossbleser said worrying.

Celestia was slowly walking on Nocturne's back with her sword ready to attack a vital point, if there was one that is, the only thing that she could think of was that one giant eye inside Nocturne's mouth, if she could somehow blow it up, let's say she forces him to use that beam again and deflect it back, that could work. She thought to herself.

Celestia kept on slowly walking until she reached his long neck, she slowly opened her wings and flew quickly upwards.

The dark dragon felt the movement on the back of his head and when he looked up to see what was happening, he saw Celestia driving her sword into his eye and latter move it all the way down on his nose. Nocturne felt immense pain because of that and was consumed by rage and that's what Celestia wanted exactly.

"Come and get me Nocturne, give it your all!" She taunted him and pulled her sword out of his flesh and flew in front of him.

The dragon let out a roar and released the laser beam only to be deflected back right on giant eye.

"YES!" Celestia exclaimed as she landed down and saw the dark dragon slowly deteriorate into nothingness.

However, a tiny little piece of flesh fell down on the tower, that tiny piece of flesh started slowly taking the form of a pony and just like before, Nocturne stood before them fully healed and equipped with his weapons and armor. The dark stalion let out a tiny awkward laughter that slowly turned into raging screams. He later bit down on his flesh to shut himself up and when he pulled back, he pulled with him his own flesh.

"You are driving me insane Celestia, i want to kill you so fucking bad right now, i want to cut you open and force feed you your own entrail, i want to slaughter you, i want to make you suffer!"

He said and stomped his hooves on the ground and an earthquake began. That earthquake shaked the entire castle, along with Canterlot bellow it but Nocturne stoped it and instead made it rain slowly, something that calmed him down.

"But i now realise that i can't simple defeat you like that....so i am gonna do this." He said and made a gesture with his hoof.

Then the unimaginable happened.

Celestia started feeling pain in her chest and later her entire body. She dropped her sword and later looked at her hoof which was changing, she saw five fleshy structures coming out of it and her hoof slowly became smaller, the same thing was happening to her other hoof, she also felt her wings and horn being sinking into her and later disappeared.

"What are you doing to me?!" She asked in pain as tears kept running down her checks with everypony around speechless.

He didn't say anything but what was certain was that he was also going through the same process as her but for some reason, he still had his wings.

Celestia then felt huge pain on her back and was forced on to rise up on two hooves but for some strange reason, she didn't fell down, instead, she was feeling perfectly balanced. When she looked down, she saw that her legs had also changed and her armor had adapted to her new form. After some second she realised what had happened.

"You now have no power! No magic! All that is left for you! IS DEATH!" Nocturne shouted.

Celestia looked up only to see Nocturne in his human form coming towards her, she tried to pick up her fallen sword but the moment she looked down on the ground, she saw his fist coming all the way up from the bottom and right on her face.

Celestia felt immense and was later knocked back ten meters away from Nocturne. While she was on the ground she covered her broken and bleeding nose while crying.

"You see? In your human form you are nothing, you don't have his gift, nor your own powers but i, i still have all that power, all this corruption that is coursing through my veins!"

He then grabbed her by her hair and hit her belly with his knee, creating some cracks on the armor. Celestia gasped out in pain while Nocturne still had her hair in his grasp.

"I am not done yet! You are going to suffer just i have suffered when you took my Son away!"

He then pulled her hair with so much might that he lifted her up in the air and slammed her down on the ground. He then did it again and after that again, until his hatred for Celestia was quenched, if that was even possible at the moment.

As for Celestia, her broken nose along with her skull were damaged beyond repair, her nose was not visible anymore from all that beating and she was bleeding from the inside of her skull.

"DO YOU LIKE THE PAIN CELESTIA? I CERTAINLY DO!" Nocturne shouted and slammed her on the ground.

But the moment he did, Celestia's hair was immediately cut off, something that cause her massive amount of pain too but at the same time, set her free for some seconds.

The ponies around couldn't believe what their eyes were proctecting, at one moment Celestia and Nocturne fight as ponies and in the next in some unknown forms, well unknown to most of them except Twilight and Starlight. Even so, that sudden change took everypony by surprise but none of them could be more worried for Celestia's condition.

Celestia was on the ground, not moving at all, she had endured so much and she knew that it wasn't gonna end quickly for her, not after what she did to Nocturne's son, she managed to come to this simply conclusion, even when her brain was in that condition that it was right now, with tiny bits of her skull that slightly touched the surface of her brain and made their way inside.

She moved her eyes up and was able to clearly see Nocturne for a split second. He was fully naked, without his armor or blades or his genitalia showing. She just saw this well built dark humanoid with no fasial features and wings red batwings coming towards her and she couldn't anything to stop his slow advance , she just looked, saw him and later back tothe ground.

"You know what else really pisses me off?" Nocturne said and kicked her in the face.

That kick however proved to be more powerful than he calculated because when he looked at Celestia, he saw that most of her teeth were knocked out of their places and his foot nail was stuck on her check.

The dark man kneeled down, grabbed the nail and strated to slowly move it all across her check and slowly into her eye.

"Not only did you ruin my Son's life but you also ruined the life of the Other Me. Do you remember him Celestia? That human version of me had a rougher life than i did, he did have the full support of his parents but....he was physically and mentally weak but despite that he kept on trying to prove himself to the world and become someone when he grew up.

During his speech Nocturne didn't stop moving that broken nail that was stuck on Celestia, instead he lowered it down next to her lips and then all the way up to her ear.

"He however failed and he let down all those that he loved and cared about, i felt pity for him. I wanted him to make his own path and be allowed to follow his dreams, even if he failed at passing some big exam or failing at an interview for a job. And when i finaly gave him these powers and told him what he could do with them....he smiled.

He later then moved the broken nail above her forehead and to her other lip and after that, he moved it all the way up to her ear, thus creating an ear to ear smile on both sides.

"All this time of him crying and calling himself a failure were gone and guess what Celestia, i wanted it to stay that way, it was never my plan to return one day, kill him and steal his magic or destroy his world. His world never had any magic to begin with, it was gonna be a waste and a down right evil deed to kill all these innocents for nothing."

When he finished his sentance, he violently pulled the nail out of her flesh and immediately used it to puncture her eye, something that forced her to cry out in pain and slam the ground with her fist, something that also proved painful.

"DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? HE HAD A HAPPY LIFE UNTIL YOU RUINED! BUT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW THE OTHERS FEEL! YOU JUST WANTED TO TAKE ME DOWN. YOU JUST WANTED TO FUCKING KILL ME. BUT YOU FAILED AND ALL YOU HAVE DONE. WAS FOR NOTHING!"

Nocturne then lifted the nail up in the air and prepared to use it to cut Celestia's throat but he was stopped by the cries of his mother.

"NOCTURNE ENOUGH PLEASE! NO MORE! ALRIGHT YOU WIN! Just....don't hurt her anymore....." She said and lowered her head.

Nocturne placed his hand on his chin and said.

"Better idea...." And with a gesture, Queen Galaxia was freed from the spell and was pulled right next to Nocturne by his tentacles.

"GALAXIA!" Kosmos shouted but couldn't do anything to save her.

"MOTHER!" Luna along with some other alicorns shouted.

Queen Galaxia was brought in front of Nocturne but she was still trapped in his tentacles. He placed his hand around her neck and holded her in two hooves.

"I will start executing everypony here! All of them will die right before your eyes and you won't be able to do anything!" Nocturne procalimed and placed his other hand right on Galaxia's belly. Then from his wrist, his red sharp blade appeared, he was ready to cut her open and let her organs fall down on the ground and later Consuming the body, thus doubling the powers that he already has.

Queen Galaxia started crying even louder and was horrified of what was going to happen next.

"You would kill.....your own mother....again?" She asked as tears kept running down her check.

But Nocturne simply whispered in her ear.

"You are not my Mother, my real Mother died a lot of years ago, by my own hoof, you are nothing more than a fake, created by that cursed sword. I failed to understand that fast enough. But no matter what anypony says, i know one thing. There is no such thing as a resurrection spell and the dead, do not return. Only the Almighty Creator has the power to bring back those that have passed away and when Judgment Day comes, my real mother along with all those innocents that i have killed, will return."

Celestia, even though she couldn't respond, tried to reach out her hand in order to stop him but she couldn't, it was then that she heard the voice of the Fallen God in her head.

"And so, this chapter of the story ends and a new Era of Darkness can begin."

When she heard those words she knew that it was all bound to end, there was no other explanation but for some reason, the whole world around her had turned black and white and everypony stopped moving along with Nocturne.

"Celestia." A voice echoed in the air.

She was confused about the nature of that voice. It felt unearthly yet somehow very calm and welcoming.

Then, a humanoid figure appeared before her, that figure was covered by a glowing aura and Celestia couldn't tell who was in front of her and nor could she speak to figure.

"You have overcome many trials Princess but to fight your own brother? You never thought that he would return in the first place correct?"

Celestia slightly nodded.

"But don't worry, all the things that you have endured in this journey were not for nothing, you are strong and capable. But Nocturne, he has been blinded by his own sence of justise, by his own arrogance and hatered for the Old Gods and he will destroy this and abosrb its power."

Celestia coughed out in pain and managed to speak a few words.

"I want to stop him but i can't."

"That is why i am here Celestia, i know what the Fallen God has done to you, i will take it away and replace it with something greater, the Light Of The Creator."

The figure then placed his hand on Celestia's head, she then felt a massive surge of Holy Power coursing through her veins, her armor was repaired, her hair had regrown and her wounds along with her broken bones were no more. After that, white wings came out of her back along with her horn while also radiating a golden glow.

A smile formed up on her face and she quickly got up, inspecting herself to see what had happened.

"I don't beleive it, i feel better now wait no, i feel amazing!"

"I am glad that you do and one more thing Celestia." The figure said and later made a gesture.

That gesture seemed to have affected her sword that was on the ground. The sword then started moving on its own and its holy form started chaning. It turned into a dark sword made out of dark flesh, multiple horrific eyes, tentacles and one big jaw at the tip of the blade.

"What in the Creator's name is that?" She asked.

"Nocturne was right about your sword Celestia, it is not a holy weapon but it is the only one that can kill him for good."

"I don't understand, why is it that way? I thought the Light could destroy all those that were touched by Corruption, so why can't you give me the power to kill him?"

"Celestia....your body, it isn't ready nor will it ever be to receive such tremendous power. I have given you all i could."

"I see...then i will use your gift to put an end to Nocturne but....i have some questions i would like answered."

"I am listening Celestia."

"You...wouldn't happen to be....uh."

"The Creator? No but i am one of his servants and i was sent here to help you. Know this Celestia, no matter what happens, never lose faith, the Creator has a plan."

She nodded and prepared her next question.

"About the sword....why is it like that? I know it's corrupted but....where did it come from?"

"That sword when it wasn't Corrupted, used to belong to Icelos, the God Of Nightmares. But when he was captured by Them, he lost all sense of sanity and was driven mad. He was no longer Icelos but Phobetor."

"Oh....i see but, what about Nocturne? What's his purpuse? Did Phobetor really create him?"

"What Crossbleser told you was the truth. Phobetor created Nocturne so that he may ravage the world and give him power, that was his plan and that is Nocturne only purpose."

"Ah, i see....but, a lot of years have passed, isn't Phobetor strong enough already?"

"No, he is not but he is that close to escaping, so i am telling you this Celestia. You must Kill Nocturne right here and now, don't let him use any more of that Corrupting magic, or else Phobetor and the Old Gods will return and they WILL bring the end of days." The figure then made another gesture and the dark sword returned back to its innocent looking form.

"Weild that sword for one more time Celestia, drive its blade into his heart and save your world from his madness!" When the figure said that, it simply disappeared and Celestia was left alone.

She took a deep breath, picked up the unholy sword in its disguise, took a combat stance and thought to herself.

"I will give it my all! I won't let him win, i won't!"

The world then started moving again and without hesitation, Celestia drove her sword right on Nocturne's face.

"WHAT THE HELL!" He shouted and failed to dodge the attack.

She then placed her hand on his shoulder and dragged him away from her mother. And now that Queen Galaxia was out of the way, Celestia kicked Nocturne on his chest and pulled her sword away but she didn't stop there. She furiously swinged her sword and was able to wound Nocturne's naked body in multiple locations, making him bleed and grunt in pain.

"ENOUGH!" He shouted and he was immediately geared with a dark aura surrounding him.

"What happened? She was literaly on the ground one second ago!" Twilight asked.

"Mother get out of here, i will deal with him."

"No! I can help you, i am free from his spell, i won't let you do it alone."

But before she could do anything else, Nocturne launched a dark chain at her that forced her back to the platform next to the others.

"Galaxia no!" King Cosmos said and checked on his wife.

"I am fine, it's alright. We need to help Celestia now!"

"But what exactly happened? How did it happen?" Spike asked.

"What happened here was a miracle, a miracle happened right before our eyes. Have faith everypony, the Creator is with us." Crossbleser said.

Nocturne laughed and started moving left and right.

"Now that's an odd change, tell me Celestia how did it happen?"

"You are going to have to Consume me to find out who gave me this power. Because i am not planning on telling you anything! Let's finish this Nocturne!"

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

The two now humans charged at each other again and with each strike of their blades, their auras would grow stronger.

"Who strike with such zealous! You mean it this time,i can feel it! You want to spill my blood and make me beg for my life!"

"You are right, i want to kill you, i must kill you to save Creation from your madness!"

He let out an evil laugh as dark tentacles, eyes and moaning mouths appeared around his body.

"LETS SEE IF YOU CAN KILL ME SCUM!"

He then charged towards her with both his blades out and ready to cut her to shreds. She was able to dodge his attack however and she fell right on top of him and they both fell on the ground with Celestia on top of him with the clear advantage. She moved her blade up in the air and brought it down with all of her strength.

The dark man moved his head aside and dodged the blade. He then used his feet and push Celestia behind him while also following her on the way there. On top of that, the two started returning back to theirpony forms.

"Ever since you can use magic in your human form now, for reasons that i will discover later, i deceided to return us both back to the form in which i have the advantage!"

"You always think so highly of yourself Nocturne, that is why you will lose today!"

She then charged her horn and prepared and attack.

"This again? I told you it's useless, your magic can't hurt me!"

But when she released all that power that she was focusing on, Nocturne was sent into the air by the massive amounts of Holy Power. Celestia immediately got up and as Nocturne was coming down from the sky, she swinged her sword towards his direction and knocked him back on the edge of the tower.

The dark stallion let out a monstrous scream and the darkness around him started fading, his monstrous screams then turn into normal screams of pain and to everypony's surprise, Nocturne was gone and all that remained was a normal looking stallion in front of them.

Nocturne started looking at himself, panicking at what had happened.

"What have you done to me? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!"
