No One's P.O.V

This was Amirah's third return, and hopefully will be the last. Each time she returned, she always had something different about her. She'd call it "an upgrade". Even the first time she revealed herself to ponies, she came off as scary. One thing Amirah did well each time was appearing more scarier. She still had that same dark pink-purple coat and hot pink messy mane. She always had those dark black eyes that glow bright red at night. And lastly, her long crooked horn never changed. Some ponies would think it grew longer each time they saw her.

If they got to see her again.

Springfields was her target many times due to how easy it was to defeat everypony and get what she wanted. She would leave the other places like Canterlot or Ponyville alone because usually, the power she steals from Springfields is enough to satisfy her for decades. No pony knows exactly what she does with that power when she has it. Queen Deborah's mother took a risk at a young age to meet Queen Amirah at her lair and since she visit, she never came back. No pony ever dared to try to go again, even when she wasn't there. But ponies hoped this would be the last time Queen Amirah attacked since, after fifty years, she finally wants to have power from all over Equestria.

Ponies theorized that she started easy because her plan would take a lot of time and patience to complete. So she would come to gain power little by little until she would finally be able to defeat all, if not most princesses in Equestria. Some theorized that she originally was a normal pony that lived in Springfields but accidentally killed another pony and that's how she got her cutie mark and ran away to figure out how to carry on with her lifestyle.

Despite all of those theories, she is back once again. Clearly stronger than before. It took her no time to get rid of Flora's hours of hard work with putting up vines and it only took a matter of seconds for her to get rid of Nom Nom. She was back stronger than before and larger than before. She used to be an average pony size and now she's just as tall as Celestia was.

"How thoughtful of you ponies to gather around for my presence after twenty years of brainstorming in my lair in preparation for this day to come." Queen Amirah pulled her head back and laughed evilly. Her laughter came to a halt when she felt an arrow stick through her chest. She didn't flinch, nor bleed. She just stared at it for a bit before casually taking it out and throwing it behind her. It must've hit a random side pony because there was a scream right afterward. The Queen continued. "And I think it's nice that you all are so helpful enough that you'd fight for the princess who left her kingdom in your hooves. Me personally, I wouldn't let that slide. But why am I complaining, at least I have some sort of competition now...and maybe or maybe not more power." Amirah looked up and struck the sky using the diamond implanted on her forehead.

Pink magic flew into the air straight up and no pony thought anything of it until it started changing the color of the sky to a nasty dark gray and multiple rays of pink magic started shooting down fast. Twilight took action immediately and covered as many ponies as she could with a shield that eventually broke off when several beams hit it. Exhausted, Twilight fell to the ground, but Amirah picked her right back up with her magic and singled her out from the crowd of opponents. Just as this happened, the crowd began separating, since the battle seemed to have begun. Queen Amirah tried taking the power from Twilight's horn, so Flora began growing her vines out from the ground. She directed the vines to get a grip on Amirah's legs and pull them away, but when that didn't work, she had a vine slap Amirah across the face, allowing Twilight to drop. She ran over to the purple princess and helped her get up.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Twilight panted heavily before finally responding with,

"Yeah, I-I'm fine."

While that was happening, guards tried attacking Amirah from different angles which did not bother her at first until it was way too many copy and pastes of the same guards doing the same thing. Amirah spread her wings to fly upward away from their swords. Their stabs felt like little cat scratches against her hooves. The alicorn slammed herself down on all four hooves back onto the ground causing the circle of guards to be pushed a few steps back. Yet, they came running back again. At the same time, this was happening, flame balls were being thrown at her from every direction. She could admit that each hit did leave her with a few seconds of pain, but with her new form, she was able to cover all of her burns and stab wounds no matter how many touched her.

Stormy pulled Cloudy aside and whispered in her ear over the loud commotion.

"She's getting attacked so much yet is still fine. No scars, bruises, nothing!"

"That's because it looks like she growing overtop of every hole or burn..." Cloudy analyzed.

"Maybe we could...try it?" Stormy suggested, hinting at what she wanted to be the next move. "It may not destroy her, but it will stop her from tearing down the village itself." Cloudy nodded in agreement and the two ponies flew in the sky. They flew opposite directions and met back up within a matter of seconds.

Flora looked up to see what they were doing and began attaching vines to every pony's hooves to help hold them down except for Queen Amirah who was struggling to stay on the ground. When her hooves were no longer in contact with the ground, Cloudy and Stormy only flew in circles faster, causing things to start blowing off the ground. Amirah let herself get closer to the pegasus until she was close enough to aim better despite everything flying in her way. When she was able to see both the mares' faces, she hit multiple strikes at them until they were shielded by Celestia's magic. But it had already been too late and Stormy dropped much faster than Cloudy seeing as she took the most hits. Flora released everypony from the vines and used them to help catch the two injured pegasus.

"Well I didn't see that happen twenty years ago," Amirah snickered. Her snickers turned into evil laughter that fulfilled the area. It stopped when she realized she'd been hit several times with cupcakes.

"Take that you Gothel crocodile-looking twig!!" Pinkie Pie shouted from afar, standing on a large pink cannon that made her easy to find. Amirah turned around and summoned a larger cupcake, ten times her size, and lifted it over Pinkie's head before dropping it.

Back inside the castle, Abohaty's friends watched in horror as the battle became more chaotic by the second. Everypony had such different powers and that made it hard to focus on just one pony.

"This is just sad..." Gabe murmured. The meeting doors burst open and everypony's attention was on Celia.

"You guys we have to evacuate!!" she yelled.

"I refuse to go out while the battle is still happening," Kat stated. She wanted it to be clear that she was not getting herself hurt.

"The castle is going to collapse!! Don't you hear them constantly hitting it?!" Celia cried. Bookworm rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"I'm gonna be honest, but Celia is right. I don't think it's a good idea to stay here. I swear this building gets hit every ten seconds." Just as Bookworm said that a flying diamond hit her directly in the back of her head. "Fuck, that hurt." Kat gasped.

"Rarity's here?"

"Okay, but where would you suggest we go? It's not like outside is any better," Written Script said.

"And from my predictions, it wouldn't be a good idea to go to the train station. The conductor is likely long gone and the station is across the battlefield," Gabe warned.

"Well, we might have to risk it at this point. Maybe the conductor isn't there, but we could still hide at the station. I'm sure it's very empty." Bookworm suggested. "Unless some of the citizens had the same idea as we did."

"Well, what are y'all waiting for, let's go!!" Celia shouted in panic. Everypony rushed out the room except Written Script. Gabe paused at the door near Celia, confused.

"I'll fly down and meet you guys there," she told them.

"You sure?" Gabe asked.

"Of course." She flew out the window and Gabe began finding his way out. Celia followed behind. Everypony made it to the entrance of the kingdom but Celia took a different turn. She wasn't going to leave Kelsey to save herself. At this point, she didn't care what the nurse had to say. The castle is clearly about to break, and if she thinks her job is worth dying then that's on her.

Celia rushed into the hospital room where Kelsey lay.

"I'm gonna get you out of here okay? I'm not leaving without you," she promised. She kept repeating that promise in her head until she felt like the both of them, Kelsey at least, was safe.

"You're deadass about to run me out of here in a hospital bed?" she asked, almost chuckling. The nurse walked in and stood beside Celia.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asked. "You're supposed to check in with me first before entering the room!" Celia groaned. She was never the type to be rude to other ponies, but this specific nurse was getting on her last nerve. She never understood ponies who took their jobs extremely seriously when they get underpaid. Maybe she did get paid a lot for her job, but even so, that shouldn't matter because the pony who's in charge of paying her was probably out there dead somewhere.

"I'm saving my friend, that's what. If you want to die here, good for you, but everypony else is leaving and I'm taking my friend with me!"

"You better not! That is illegal, and I will call security if you do anything like that-"

"What security?!" Celia hollered. "Everypony is out there fighting for their lives!"

"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave ma'am." At that very moment, a piece of the ceiling fell right between the nurse and Celia, leaving a large hole through the floor. "Oh no, how did this happen? I'm going to see if there's any guards around the building that can help fix this." Celia wanted to tell her how dumb of an idea that was, but that got her to leave easily, so she didn't bother. Instead she grabbed onto Kelsey's bed and began pushing it out the door. Thankfully, it had wheels.

The second Abohaty and Glitz heard explosions they began running as fast as they could back to the castle.

"Can you still use some of your magic or is it completely gone?!" Glitz asked while running alongside the princess.

"I think...I think there's something in the spell book that can fix it. It was most likely Queen Amirah or Dusk Shine tweaking with my magic. It's still there but not all the way."

"Do you think it may have to do with Nom Nom's...? Glitz let his question trail off after looking at Abohaty's face.

"Possibly." She murmured. When she slowed down, Glitz matched her pace. Eventually they both came to a stop and started panting heavily.

"Do you...do you want the spell book to try and figure it out?" Abohaty nodded, to worn out to reply. Glitz opened his bag and pulled put the large spell book. Abohaty dragged it closer to her and ran through the book with her hooves. She flipped it to the last page and began reading it. Glitz's eyes watched between her reading and watching both Stormy and Cloudy create their tornado until they got blasted down together. "We should probably hurry," Glitz told Abohaty, his eyes now focused on the sky. Abohaty did not respond, instead she kept her focus on what she had to do to gain her powers back.

Following the book's instructions, she sat still and closed her eyes. Glitz looked down at her confused, but didn't question if further since this was not the most questionable thing he's seen. His attention directed back up ahead where he saw a pink pony standing on a large pink canon that was not there before. She started bouncing up and down until a giant cupcake appeared over her and fell. Glitz looked back at Abohaty and then realized the environment around them began changing drastically. Flowers began to bloom and butterflies flew around in circles. One landed on Glitz's muzzle and he almost killed it with his hoof out out of reflex. The butterfly left after some time and attached to Abohaty's skin like the rest were doing. Glitz still was clueless to what was going on but did not budge a bit. When Abohaty was finished, she fluttered her eyes open and the butterflies flew off. Glitz swear he saw the blue in her eyes glisten. "...Did it work?" He asked, helping her up.

"Let's see!" Abohaty took Glitz by the hoof and teleported them to the entrance of the kingdom.

And sure enough, it worked.
