"All right, you want to fight? I'll give you a fight worth a thousand souls!" Grim said as he smirked. He stood up on his hind legs and his horn glowed a dark purple color as the ground in front of him started to crack and fissure. Six skeleton Diamond Dogs had raised from the earth all armed with bone shields and bone maces,"Let's see what you're worth, whelp."
Tenshura smirked and cracked his neck "If you think that's going to stop me, then you're wrong."
Tenshura spun around and bucked the two closest undead warriors shattering them. The four remaining undead charged him and swung their maces on him. The grey pony dodged and grabbed one of the skeletons with his mouth by the cerebral spines and swung him overhead to a wall, destroying it in the process. One of the skeletons spun around and stunned him by bashing his shield right to his face, making him stumble back a few feet.
Tenshura wiped the small amount of blood from his snout,"That all you got you pile of bones!" The three remaining summons leaped towards him simultaneously. The mad pony jumped up and landed a kick on the skull of the skeleton on the right with such force force and momentum the two others were dragged along and sent to the ground, destroying them all.
Grim Blade smirked. "Not too bad, you got some skills I got to admit, but now you're screwed."
Tenshura laughed. "Really? How am I screwed? I plowed away your little toys there 'Mister Necromancer', how am I screwed by that?" He questioned.
Grim Blade's horn glowed a dark purple. "Because now you're tired and hence your reaction time will be slower."
"Tell me if that's slow enough for you!" Tenshura shouted as he made his way to Grim as faster than before. Grim was taken aback from this sudden burst of speed and was rammed by Tenshura, taking his horn right in his torso falling to the ground. The mad pony made his way on top of him and pummeled his face in. "WHAT'S THE MATTER?! WHERE ARE YOUR POWERFUL ZOMBIES NOW!? " the crazed pony shouted.
Suddenly, Tenshura was stuck. He was unable to move. He commanded his body to respond but in vain, his body was not in his control any longer.
"What the hell is going on?!" Tenshura asked in panic.
"I happened, BITCH" Grim Blade shouted, his horn aglow and a devilish smile in his face.
Grim bucked him away from him, his face was covered in cuts, bruises and blood, his shades cracked under the assault. His eyes were filled with madness, with grim intentions.
"I am going to fuck you up real good now. No one touches my shades!" Grim yelled.
The ground around Tenshura cracked open and a dozen skeletal hands, talons and hooves held him in place. Grim slowly made his way to him, his horn still glowing with powers from beyond the veil.
"I've been dying to use this spell on someone for ages!" Grim then smiled in the maddest way imaginable, his eyes unblinking and fixed on his victim. Tenshura tried to struggle away from the deathly grasp but in vain. Only in one blink of an eye did Tenshura now find himself in a completely different atmosphere, his eyes desperately searched for anything in sight but all he saw was the negative black and white colors going on for what had seemed to be forever," WHERE AM I ?!"
" Don't worry where you are, worry about what I am going to do," Grim's voice sounded out through the entire area.
" WHERE ARE YOU?!" Tenshura shouted and demanded with his eyes scanning the vast sea of negative colors.," SHOW YOURSELF!" Finally blinking once more Grim appeared right in front of him but only a few metres away.
Grim smiled at Tenshura knowing he was unable to move. Tiny pieces of Grim's body one by one produced dozens of crows which flew to Tenshura's body continuously and seemingly pecking at his flesh," Meet my pet, Abyss."
Screaming from the intense amount of pain over and over again,Tenshura passed out on the floor which in Grim's point of view was still in the room where they had fought," I did my part, I hope you're okay Graze."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Very well then, you choose to stand with your brother, then you shall fall with him!" Shadow shouted trotting to Aroma who in turn charged him as well. Shadow raised a hoof preparing for one knockout punch as he began his onslaught on Aroma. With the wonder of her magic she quickly teleported to the side of him in turn with a buck of her hind legs which only had met air. This process repeated itself for quite a while both dodging with their teleportation skills timed well and attacking with their hooves may it be hind or front.
" WHY!" *WOOSH* " ARE YOU!" *WOOSH* " SO HARD TO HIT!" *WOOSH* Shadow tried countless times to hit the moving mare who simply dodged mastering her reflexive timing skills," Hey! Where did she go?!" Shadow shouted not seeing the mare anywhere on the field.
" UP HERE!!" Aroma shouted from above making a quick front flip adding momentum and force into her kick which in turn slammed directly on top of Shadow's head. It was driven with enough force to send his body to the ground as well as powerful enough to cause a concussion to any normal pony, but, this was an alicorn, not any regular alicorn but one who had survived against Charge and my five other friends.
From the floor Shadow grinned and quickly retaliated with a charged spell sending Aroma flying off the ground and onto her back constantly meeting the floor with every few seconds.
[ GRAZE GET UP! YOUR SISTER NEEDS YOU!] Kill encouraged me to get up.
< SHE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU!> Joy warned me.
{ I...can't....my body...}
[ REMEMBER WHAT YOU PROMISED YOUR MOM!! ] My eyes then opened wide in realization, I tried to pick myself up with one hoof but soon fell due to the amount of fatigue.
<C'mon! You almost had it!>
" CHARGE! WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HER THERE!" Chaser shouted to the teacher who won't let him interfere.
" IF WE GO WHO WILL PROTECT THE STUDENTS?!" Charge exclaimed," I MYSELF ALONE CAN'T HANDLE HIM AND NEITHER COULD YOU!"
" HEY GUYS LOOK!" CrackShot exclaimed grabbing everyone's attention. They watched as Aroma rebounded from her hit, rolling backwards and back onto her four hooves only sliding back a bit.
She unbelievably survived the spell but was now panting heavily through her speech," Heh....I know I don't curse much like Graze....But....Fuck that guy is strong."
" Strong?" Shadow questioned her last word," My dear Aroma, I was going easy on you but after all since you are Graze's sister, let's see what you got." Shadow raised his front legs preparing for a big with his horn glowing a bright red, he then stomped releasing a continuous flame thrower widening as it progressed through the battle field.
She quickly did the same sending out her own stream of black flames coming from her horn clashing with the opposing red. Both sides fought valiantly as seen through the flames moving back and forth trying to overpower one another, this game had grown tiring for Shadow," That's all you got?" He asked rhetorically and forced every inch of magic could have used in that spell. The flame grew brighter and bigger easily overpowering Aroma's who could have only watched in fear. She stood firm focusing all of her magic in that spell still unable to overpower Shadow, ' Damn, he's too strong but if I stop now....I may...' she stopped that track of thought, 'NO! I KNOW GRAZE WILL COME.... Pray Celestia he does.'
Chaser watched as Aroma's flame was near completely consumed as she stood up against Shadow. Chaser knew if the flame had gone any further, the results would be catastrophic and he didn't have much time left. He stared at Charge and back to the battle, he knew what needed to be done," .... Fuck it all!" Chaser shouted and immediately took flight.
" CLOUD!!" Luna shouted as Mr. Charge stood still watching Chaser make great pace.
Cloud placed every last bit of energy he had in his wings forcing himself the extra limit." AROMA!" He shouted and quickly grabbed the mare before Shadow's flame had made waste." HAHA! GOTCHA!" He said happily saving her life looking down at her," WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GOING UP AGAINST AN ALICORN?!"
*BZZTT PING*
" CHASER WATCH OUT!!" Aroma shouted warning him.
" Wait, wha-" *POW* Chaser's face had met the worst contact with a hoof in his entire life being punched directly in the snout sent back to Charge and the others.
" That looked like it hurt," Omnious obviously said.
" Ughh, shut up and help me up at least I tried," Chaser said on the floor.
Aroma was quickly grabbed by Shadow who was ascending to the highest point of the atmosphere, she struggled to free herself from his grasp," I really hope you do know this is the end for you."
Aroma spat in his eye and shouted," FUCK YOU!"
" Just like your fucking brother. Hmph, I hope you survive this drop so you can watch me rip him to shreds and then I am coming for you and his little friends," Shadow pulled back his hoof with Aroma and threw her directly to the ground.
" GRRAAAZZZEEEEEE!!" She shouted calling my name through her rapid descent. My eyes opened wide hearing the scream of my sister, I quickly got up enduring tons of pain throughout my body with the power of Kill and Joy as seen by my tail, mane and wings were outlined with the tribal flames
[ WOOOOOOOO!!!! YEAH! WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS!!]
< LET'S KICK SOME ASS!>
Without hesitation I shot to the skies praying to Celestia I made it in time. I forced all I could have just so that my sister could survive. I felt the pains of my internal bleeding but quickly ignored sweating furiously from flapping my wings through the air resistance.
Wait a second....No...It couldn't be! The air resistance cone had formed even while I was flying upwards!
{ KILL! JOY! LET'S MAKE SURE SHADOW NEVER MESSES WITH MY FAMILY AGAIN!}
[ ONE FUCKED PONY! COMING RIGHT UP!]
< FOR AROMA!!>
The cone thickened concentrating at its point showing how close I was to breaking the sound barrier but if I failed...Aroma would....NO! THERE WAS NO TIME FOR DOUBTS! I MUST KEEP MY PROMISE!
" I am grateful for this but I feel like such a bother to you, you're always there to protect me," I remembered Aroma saying to me.
" It's my job to look out for my sister and I love every minute of it," I said smiling at her.
' D-did you actually miss me' I remembered her asking me a few nights ago.
" Do you know how hard it is to actually get ponies from taking my clothes?" I replied with a chuckle pulling off my vest to reveal that one loving picture of my sister and I in my vest.
I remembered everything even how saying that I would always protect her. It wasn't because it was a promise that I pushed myself, it was something worth more to me, it was for my sister.
I kicked off with my legs breaking the sound barrier as I flew upwards. My wings had the same effect as before growing twice as large engulfed within the flames. I stretched my hooves out catching Aroma within my grasp," Hey Aroma!" I smiled.
" GRAZE!" She said hugging me around my neck," I knew you would protect me! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!"
" Aroma, focus!" I said quickly as she would have gotten carried away," We still need to fight Shadow, think you have enough energy to control my flame?"
Her face turned serious as was mine," Yup! Are we going to finish it off with our move?"
" Hopefully," I said with a hint of doubt," Just don't stop until I say so okay?" She nodded," Good, now teleport and you know what to do."
My hooves were now free as Aroma teleported back to the surface, it was now or never that I faced off with Shadow who maintained altitude as I approached him with dangerous speeds," So, Graze we finally meet ag-"
*KA-POW* " SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I uppercutted him straight in his jaw hearing a few cracks," YOU DARE HURT MY SISTER?!"
< Yikes Graze, that's still Light!>
[ But we are facing Shadow, he would understand, the guy's tough don't worry ]
Shadow had no time to rebound as my onslaught of pure rage assaulted him hoof by hoof with the speed of the NecroFlare Boom, I grabbed him making an immediate U-turn aiming to the ground below.
" SAME TRICKS NOT GOING TO WORK GRAZE!" He shouted warning me yet unable to move within my constriction.
" I plan to end you now, and hope never to see you again Shadow!" I exclaimed as I began my descent spinning with him. The first Necro FlareBoom with the added drilling of the Necro Vortex broke the cone yet again doubling the size of the vortex which spun.
" With this weak move again?!" He exclaimed with a laughter.
" Oh no, it's not me you should be worried about," I smiled noticing that all my flames had extinguished. His face had turned serious confused of what was going on.
" WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING GRAZE?!" He shouted. I smiled at his reaction and then watched as Aroma who had taken all my flame concentrating and focusing all her magic as she slowly created out of her own will a wingless serpentine draconian like figure. Knowing that it was complete, I piledrived him into the ground leaving a crater and quickly evaded the area.
" What. " Anarchy watched in awe.
" Is." Cross said as well.
" That?" Chaser completed the sentence.
" I don't know but I am afraid to piss of Aroma now," Dark said as Ice slowly nodded with his mouth open.
" Apparently, Aroma is the only one who can control Graze's temper, I think we may need her around here more," Charge smiled.
From Shadow's point of view, the black dragon was staring directly at him, all he could have done was lay on the ground helpless never experiencing such a scene in his life.
Aroma screamed her battle cry," RAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!"
"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" The dragon followed echoing through the entire school with a bit more fright. Aroma spun her head controlling the dragon's movement making a roundabout in the sky and quickly, she lowered her head as the dragon followed crashing directly onto Shadow. He created a small bubble like shield around himself to prevent any damage as the flames consumed him.
The flaming dragon didn't disperse on contact,no, Aroma ensured that Shadow got every last blow, she contained all the flames within the crater as long as she could have, she was struggling to control the blast as her nose began to bleed. " AAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!" Shadow shouted trying to keep his shield up.
" AROMA! STOP!" I shouted," YOU'RE OVERDOING IT AGAIN!" She didn't listen. I looked directly infront of her standing up on my hind legs and grabbed her with my fore," AROMA! AROMA! LOOK AT ME!"
Her eyes then blinked in confusion and cut off her magic," Huh? Graze?" I quickly looked behind me noticing that the flame had finally extinguished," Graze, what's wrong?"
I sighed not replying to her and walked over to the crater where everypony had traveled to now looking at the now white body," Don't worry Graze, I already checked up on Light, he is just unconscious, thank Celestia he received no first, second or third degree burns," Cross informed me knowing I was worried over my friend.
" The only possible way for any pony to survive that is if they had a strong enough shield," Charge said looking at the slowly breathing Light," He is very lucky."
I simply nodded and passed everypony including Cloud Chaser walking towards the entrance of the school," Thank you Chaser," was all I said walking off.
" Graze, please respond," Aroma begged as I continued my path to Ditzy's dorm to heal my wounds, I cared not for Cross' treatment as Light deserved it more than I did. It was a silent trip to the dorm for me as Aroma continuously begged for me to reply.
---------------------------------------------------
I opened the door allowing her to go in first and closed it behind her," Graze..... What's wrong?" She asked as I stood still watching her.
The silence remained uninterrupted as I quickly grabbed her pulling her into a hug," Don't you ever scare me like that again Aroma!" I exclaimed with a tear rolling down my eye.
She accepted the hug and felt the tear on her coat," Graze are you crying?" She said being strong," We won didn't we?"
" You scared me half to death! I nearly lost you!" I said crying into her mane," We already lost mom! And I don't want to lose you too!"
" Graze, I'm not going anywhere," She replied as I opened my eyes hearing the confidence in her voice.
" How do you know? You nearly died out there!" I exclaimed with more tears.
She looked at me and nuzzled me on my chest," Because, I know my brother would always protect me."
