For the first time, Tempest Shadow was facing off against her former superior, the creature who had used her to get what he wanted instead of promising the restoration of her horn. With her sister occupied by Proxima Midnight, Tempest charged at the Storm King wanting to kill him herself. This was going to be their battlefield, on the streets of the city that she had helped conquer for him.

"Well, well, aren't we a little bit impatient?" the Storm King laughed in a sarcastic tone at the snarling Tempest Shadow.

"Like I said, you should have killed me," growled Tempest.

"And like I said, it would have been a waste of parts!" cried the Storm King, firing a blast of power from his staff. Tempest dodged the blasts and kicked him the chest, sending him through the window of a small business.

Growling even more, Tempest raced after the Storm King while Razzle Fizzle continued to be held at bay by Proxima. Suddenly, she noticed her pull out a small knife with intention to kill.

"What are you doing?" gulped Razzle Fizzle.

"She'll die alone, as will you," said Proxima quietly.

"But she's not alone," said a voice and Proxima turned around to see Scarlet Witch standing behind her, her hands red with power. Just then, Proxima turned around to see Trixie on her other side. Snarling, Proxima attempted to stab Razzle Fizzle, but was pulled back by Scarlet Witch's quick-thinking spells.

With Proxima occupied, Razzle raced to help Tempest out, knowing that very soon, she would be reunited with her parents again. But first, she needed to fight for her homeland. Just then, Razzle watched as her sister was blown through the streets, knocking over several defenders and invaders. Growling wildly and manically, the Storm King kept his eyes locked on Tempest.

"You fight strong," he remarked. "But you could never convince me to give you your horn back."

"I could never convince you, sire," replied Tempest, bitterly using the magic in her broken horn to send several carts at the Storm King, which he managed to destroy before impact. "It was a mistake to even consider myself an alliance with the likes of you!"

Still, the Storm King kept coming, leaping from roof to roof trying to kill Tempest by any means necessary. Using his staff, he attempted to swat at Tempest, trying to strike at her. Finally, he did, striking her throat. Noticing the blood dripping down from her throat, Tempest grew even more dangerous. With rage in her eyes, she fired a powerful blast of magic which the Storm King deflected towards a part of Canterlot castle.

"Nyah Nyah! Missed me!" he laughed. Suddenly, he felt a heavy blast of magic hitting him from behind. Yelping out in pain, he saw Razzle Fizzle with her horn charged.

"Razzle Fizzle!" shouted Tempest, looking at her sister. "Get out of here now!"

"No, Fizzlepop, I'm going to fight to the death!" shouted Razzle Fizzle.

This caused the Storm King to laugh some more in amusement.

"Fizzlepop? Are you kidding me?" he remarked, turning his attention away from Razzle Fizzle to focus on Tempest. "Since when did you ever have such a dorky name?"

"Don't call me dorky," hissed Tempest, firing another blast of uneased magic that sent the Storm King back slightly. Yelling wildly, Tempest charged the Storm King right into Cinnamon Chai's tea and cakes shop with Razzle Fizzle following behind. Pinning the Storm King against the wall, Tempest attempted to crush him to death using all of her strength. "And one other thing, Twilight and her friends are giving me a second chance, unlike you!"

Noticing an undamaged cake on the floor, the Storm King grabbed the cake and pushed it into Tempest's face, freeing himself from being pushed against the wall. Tempest retorted by picking up a chair and tossing it at him. Razzle then helped her sister by throwing a table at the Storm King.

"Since when did you learn it was okay to throw furniture?" asked the Storm King, dodging the table and reaching for his staff. "Well, let me show you two ponies which is okay to throw."

Taking his staff, he attempted to swat at Tempest and Razzle Fizzle with it, but the two sisters ducked out of the way. Soon, they found themselves back on the streets of war torn Canterlot, with bodies of dead fighters littering the streets.

"I can keep doing this all day," said the Storm King, once again preparing to strike at the sisters when all of a sudden, he was sideswiped by Steve Rogers, his shield already splattered with the blood of his deceased opponents. "And who might you be?"

"Name's Steve Rogers, but you can call me Captain America."

And Steve briefly clashed with the Storm King, using his shield as a weapon.

…

Meanwhile, Proxima Midnight continued to face off against Trixie and Scarlet Witch along with their respective forms of magic.

"You know, it's funny," gasped Scarlet Witch. "How you decided to come back from the dead, after you tried to kill Vision."

The pain of losing her beloved was a lot for Wanda to take and using her telekinetic powers, she threw Proxima towards Canterlot's main entrance.

"But you could never take him away from me, neither you or Thanos. He may be gone physically, but his spirit still lives within me."

Proxima struggled to her feet and attempted to reach into her pocket for another dagger, feeling that she had enough of Scarlet's words. Little did Proxima know that Trixie was standing behind Proxima with a trick up her sleeve.

"Unlike yours."

Smiling, Proxima attempted to throw the dagger at Wanda, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. The knife that had been in her hand was now impaled through her chest. Gasping, she turned around to see Trixie with a small smirky grin on her face. Turning back to face Wanda, Proxima coughed up some more blood before falling to the ground dead.

"Please don't make me do that again," advised Trixie, dropping her smirky smile before returning to fight alongside Wanda at the Northwest wall.

…

Meanwhile, the sounds of thundering hoofbeats were heard along with the loud roar of Tirek as he and Cozy Glow charged towards the front gates.

"Don't let him in!" shouted Shining Armor rallying from the fall of the Northeast Wall and firing a blast of magic to keep Tirek back. Suddenly, a black figure jumped down and pinned him to the ground. The white unicorn stallion looked up and saw Chrysalis on top of him.

"Peekaboo," giggled Chrysalis, only for Shining Armor to hit her in the chest. "Good to see you again, Shining Armor!"

Snarling, Shining Armor charged at Chrysalis, but the crafty Queen of the Changelings was too quick for him.

"You'll have to be much quicker than that," she remarked and allowed for Tirek to storm into Canterlot, trampling over weakened and injured fighters. Suddenly, he and Cozy Glow were both hit by several missiles.

"Hey!" cried the Pegasus filly. "Who did that?"

"We did!" cried Rainbow Dash, arriving on the scene with Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail firing a barrage of missiles from her jetpack that Tirek managed to duck out of the way and striking dead a group of fighting soldiers. Seeing Rainbow Dash arrive, Chrysalis attempted to fire a blast of magic at her and the Pegasus flyers, but was quickly stopped by Shining Armor.

…

Elsewhere, Cadence was fighting alongside her aunts when she saw what was happening.

"They've broken through!" she cried, looking back towards Canterlot. "We've got to fall back!"

Heeding the call, Celestia and Luna raced back towards their city. Seeing them return to the city, Black Panther shouted to one of his commanding officers to reinforce Canterlot.

Little did they know that by returning to Canterlot, the Royal Sisters and their beloved adopted niece were about to be easy prey for the main enemy, Emperor Grogar himself…
