I almost didn't even up load this chapter because of the lack of...incentive I guess.

.....................................--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------........................:::............. Reflex had been gone since yesterday and he couldn't be found even with all his friends looking for him and they tournament had to go on it was finally time the end was here the finals were about to start and Celestia had a suprise for everypony, a new stage it was called equinox it was a stage Reflex had made it for they contestants who made it to the end Celestia conjured up a portal and had the two finalist walk though, the stage was a mixture of several elements huge glaciers jutted out from a frozen plato that eventually gave way to a massive body of water several twisters roared across the water never once disturbing it surface that eventually lead to an island an active volcano spewing magma straight into the air in a constant stream dominating it and a few miles from that island sat a massive forest, as an unseen wind ran though the forest a hauntingly beautiful melody could be heard emanating from the forest.

"Wow this place is awesome," Rendan said as he looked around excitedly.

"It's cool I guess," Dark said as he also ogled the soon to be battle field with wide eyed amazement despite his uncaring attitude.

"Ha ha Yes it's beautiful but that nothing compared to what's in the clouds come on I'll show you," Celestia said gesturing for them to follow before taking off though the clouds Dark and Rendan close behind.

As soon as Rendan and Dark made it though their jaws hit the floor their was an entire steam punk style city siting on the clouds mini suns floated in they air giving off a warm heat and light and making the city glisten beautifully, light even seemed to bounce off the clouds themselves which helped to enhance the beauty of the city even more. 

"Well you two what do you think did my uncle do a good job?" Celestia asked a large grin spread across her face already knowing they answer.

"This is awesome how did Reflex make all this it must have taken forever to...wait how the hell did he do this it should be impossible to...ya know what doesn't matter it's Reflex he is a myth himself and shouldn't exist so fuck it let's just get fighting," Rendan said an annoyed look on his face.

"This place is cool but Rendan dude it's obvious how it was made magic dumb ass no one has to explain shit so their," Dark said a trollific smile on his face he then noticed Rendans pissed off expression and asked "you mad bro?"

Rendan just looked at him for a sec before saying "I am going to burn off all your fur if you don't shut your face."

Dark just smiled wider and said "come at me bro I will gladly buck your face in." 

"Alright you two calm down you will get to tear each others faces of in a second just give me a moment to set up so that they audience can still see you even though you are in a pocket dimension," as soon as she finished talking her horn started glowing with a warm golden color for a seconed until Celestia noded satisfied "ok you may begin as soon as I leave." Celestia then walked away a few feet before she dissapered in a flash of light.

By the time Celestia's residual light had dissipated Dark and Rendan where already transformed and in each others face Dark in his Dark storm mode and Rendan in his red coated rage mode hoofs cloaked in fire and lightning slamming into each other creating explosions that flung them back for a half seconded before they slammed back together hoofs crashing against each other resulting in another violent explosion but this time Dark was ready so as soon as the explosion happened he sent a bolt of lightning straight through the explosion that went lanceing into Rendans wings catching him off guard and dropped him to the clouds below with one of his wings singed, but Dark wasn't done yet as soon as Rendan landed on the clouds Dark crashed down on him back hoofs first lightning surrounding them as he did so and it hit with explosive force, Dark then dived straight after him, as Rendan shoot straight though the clouds going so fast a faint whistling sound could emanated from him as he fell, but instead of slamming into the ground he flipped himself over and shoot a massive gout of fire from his hoofs, that not only stopped him it sent flying straight back toward Dark until he was only about a foot away, he then opened his mouth and breathed a stream of fire point blank into his face, Dark was able to get up a small shield before he was hit he was quickly pushed back several feet until his minuscule shield shattered and he was then quickly covered in fire and sent careening toward the forest setting trees on fire as he slammed into the ground rolled and shot back up a black and yellow trail flowing behind him lightning jumped across his body as he reached out with his hoof and launched  a bolt of electricity, Rendan

started to dodge out of the was but was caught off guard when the head of the lightning curved into a hooked edge stabbing itself into Rendan electrocuting him and tearing flesh as he jerked him  into his waiting hoofs as he then brought hooves together crackling with electricity and slammed them downward into Rendan's head, they very air vibrated from the power in the strike, but that wasn't enough to stop Rendan who quickly shrugged of the pain and aimed himself downward quickly gaining speed and turning into a red blur using the momentum from Darks strike to help speed him up.

"Oh no you don't." Dark said before speeding after him and quickly catching up being the faster of the two ponies, Rendan saw this and started pushing himself harder, as did Dark until they very air started to bend around them both making them strain even harder to push past their limits until they both broke smashed through a deafening roar accompanied by two rings of light one red and white and they other black and yellow, both Dark and Rendan to they untrained eye where nothing more then speeding balls of yellow and red light with unique streaks of color behind them that seemed to be dancing in the sky and every time they collided a sound like a thunder clap would come resonating from them making anything to close either spontaneous combust or just explode electricity jumping from it, Dark and Rendan where going at it at super speed and they where using that speed to give their strikes more power an attack that would normally send one of them skipping back a bit normally sent them flying instead, Dark was on Rendan in a second and started smashing his hoof into Rendans face until Rendan grabed Darks head and brought his head crashing into Darks snout making him fly back a bit unsteadily trying to recover from the blow but Rendan didn't let up he made his body burst into flames and tackled Dark and slammed him into they island, dragging him along scrapping off pieces of skin off his back and burning his front he then threw Dark infront of him spun around and bucked his flaming hoofs into Darks chest several loud pops could be heard as ribs snapped in Darks chest making him cry out in pain as he was sent flying skipping over the water its surface exploding hundreds of feet upward from with each touch and strait into one of the twisters Rendan flew in a few seconds after but was surprised when the twister started crackling with lightning Rendan saw this and made a break for the top fighting against the vacuum and was quickly making head way until the twister started to turned a familiar black and yellow color and the vacuum increased tenfold sucking Rendan slowly back into the twister, Rendan looked down and quickly moved his head out of the way as a lightning bolt flew past he then saw Dark flying in a tight circle at the bottom of the twister he was not only speeding the twister up but was also reaching out toward the water as soon as his hoof touched it a massive stream of water shot out missing Dark by centimeters and slammed into Rendan and started to spin with him traping him in a solid bubble of water.

After he got over they initial shock of being hit by the freezing cold water Rendans ears perked when an odd buzzing sound hit his ears suddenly his eyes grew several sizes and he remembered the lightning bolt Dark had shot into they air in the beginning he then looked up and saw a sight that made his pupils shrunk to the size of pin prick what he saw was a giant dragon made of pure lightning coming from the  clouds right at him "oh my god what the actual fuck is that sweet Celestia sitting on Luna's horn with a stick if dynamite up her magic plot hole that craps happiness and sunlight this is going to hurt like hell!" as soon as he finished the electricity dragon struck in a blinding flash of white light it was over.

Dark flew to an island and laid down and as about to go to pass out but something caught his the sky started was starting to bulge outward "what the hell?!" was all Dark got out before the sky burst open and Reflex came speeding though fully armored and glowing like the sun even his eyes glowed a bright gold, and after him came the doctor so full of physic energy it was tangible in a blue aura surrounding his body Reflex and the Doctor looked at each other for a one then charged.
