Luna’s horn point at Z as sparks flew off it scorching the ground and books, “hey Luna come on there must be anoth...” Z was forced to roll to the right as a swirling dark orb flew towards him striking the book case behind, making it implode, leaving a dark hole of emptiness which shortly after, disappeared.
“NOOOO!” twilight shouted as she rushed towards where the book case last stood; only a ruined book remained on the floor.

Luna’s voice changed to the one of Nightmare moon “fight back!” echoing around the room as she bombarding Z with more orbs. Orbs exploded around Z as he dodged and weaved, splinters from book cases spraying over him. The mane six stepped forward to help the colt before Celestia held out here hoof stopping them, her expression saying nothing, only the intensity in her eyes that where staring at the battle taking place.
A tornado of smoke sprouted from Luna’s horn. Sections of the smoke separated into four dark figures that soon surrounded Z forcing him into a corner; the figures walked slowly but sternly forward. Z was forced to back up closer and closer to the book case positioned behind him. His spine sat straight against the bookcase as the creatures drew closer and closer. Inch by inch the creature’s smoky breath presenting its self in Z’s face; he turned away from the ghastly odor.

Then closing his eyes, sensing the end he decided he would only have one chance he thought to himself ‘these things couldn’t be solid’ he then propelled himself towards the monsters, eyes closed. A split second before they would have collided, a brilliant flash of white coming from the markings on his body began to glow as he vanished into thin air. Moments later he appeared on the other side, tripping over his own hoofs. His face slid against the floor, opening wounds for blood to pour from.

“It may be unorthodox, but it works” Luna said while bombarding him with more spells. Z, with his newly learnt spell, dodged the assault from Luna. He teleported himself behind an old book case, soon it was imploding like the others before it, leaving him exposed to more assaults.

The unrelenting onslaught from Luna was not going to give up until Z had fought back, which he had no intention to. He was going to keep dodging as much as possible. The events in the room had become a routine; a bombardment of swirling orbs followed by a teleport to a new hiding spot.

Twilight got down before Celestia, pleading “Celestia, this isn’t going anywhere. Please stop!”

“I can see this, twilight” Celestia said, irritated that the situation had not made progress for some time now.

Luna had pinned Z into a corner using the dark monsters; they were snapping at his hooves. A droplet of sweat beating down his head. once again a flash of white and Z had moved to behind Luna. He was engulfed in a cloud of smoke as white bolts blasted from Celestia's horn hitting him in the side; he had become invisible behind the cloud of thick black smoke. Beams of light shot out from the smoke causing it to dissipate, left in the center was Z, his eyes glowing a chaos filled white. With a flex of his wings, bolts of light swarmed out from his chest. They spiraled around the room finding the monsters one by one, causing them each to explode into a cloud of dust.

After destroying the monsters, the light collected itself into an orb floating in the center of library. An aura of blue orbited the orb before it exploded; an echoing boom bounced off the walls. The shock wave from the explosion knocked Luna off her feet; she lay on the ground mouth agape, eyes wide at the spectacle before her.

The light from Z dimmed as he slowly descended. He stood there slowly looking around the room. His vision had changed with the new form everything was a contrast of a grey scale, except for the colour of hair that seemed to keep its colour but become much more vibrant.

The glow shattered from Z’s eyes as he fell to one knee, Celestia walked up the Z placing a hoof on his shoulder while he knelled panting. He would have to train to be able to stay in that state long he thought to himself as get back onto his hoofs; sweat dropped from his face. He smiled while gasping from between his teeth.

Z had found his powers again, while it would take some practice before he mastered them, it seemed he had a small grasp on them for now. It had gotten late into the night with all the fighting and Z had lost most of his energy in just one move. so celestia let the group stay the night and said they would continue this in the morning. Guards led the group to their quarters, and Luna left to watch over the night.
