“Move it!” Applejack shouted. We were in the Apple Wood mountains. With the instructions of Princess Celestia we had about five soldiers at each graveyard, but the bulk of our forces were in the Apple Wood mountains in a rather large valley and surrounding areas. At midnight the tome would open for us, and this battle was going be huge.

Of the hundred thousand soldiers we would be vastly outnumbers by the dead, and the thousands of lich disciples, necromancer, Earth Rotters, Vu Siths and Dead Bringers would just be the icing on top. Big Mac held his head high next to me.

“We are ready.” Celestia said walking up next to me with Twilight and Luna. I grinned as Fluttershy, Rarity, Dash and Pinkie walked over to us. They had the elements of harmony on themselves.

“You say that as though it was possible.” I grinned and they all relaxed a little.

“They come.” Big Mac said and we all looked up seeing a hundred Vu Siths raining in fire balls from the sky and landing around a single area. The sky changed to black, switching from each color as the Vu Siths started coming out of the grounds drooling blood and magic from their mouths. They were skeletons pony with black robes. They moved into position not paying attention to us, and started to chant.

“Now what?” Rarity asked and I smiled. I hadn’t expected to see all six here plus Celestia and Luna, so I hadn’t informed them.

“We defend,” Applejack said and they looked at her. “Seffron is the only pony which is able to withstand the Lich magic. He’ll go alone.”

“Is that wise?” We all looked at Discord as he floated in the air.

“Discord.” Celestia said.

“Hello, but is it wise to send him in alone.”

“Yes, unlike you all I have dead fire in me.”

“I do to.” Lilly said and I looked at her shocked.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I shouted at her and Spike went in front of her shielding her a little, I started to trembled. All of them became unnerved by my panic. “Celestia, Luna you need to take Lilly to my home and protect her now.”

“Why?” Twilight asked.

“Because if the lich tastes even a single drop of her blood,” Trixie said walking over to us frowning. “He’ll awaken at full power instantly.” They stared at her for a few seconds.

“It’ll take him months to get to full power. I only have a few minutes to get to him and kill him before he awaken. You have to get her away from here, and you go with her Spike. If she loses even a single drop, it’s over. We’re dead, he’ll win. NOW!” I shouted and They left with Lilly making me look at Trixie.

“I didn’t bring them here.” I growled a little making her step back.

“Applejack make sure to move a platoon with her, we cannot risk her.” She nodded running off.

“Discord care to hold the line while I’m gone?”

“Of course.” He said smiling. Applejack came back a few minutes later.

“Applejack.” She came over to me.

“Yep?”

“If he comes outside I want you to order a retreat. A full retreat, it means I’m dead and gone. You’ll be the last line of defense this world has left, you burn cities if you have to, and if all else fails.” I held out the dragon king’s trigger. All of them gasped knowing it from my stories.

“You had that?!” Twilight said mad and I looked at her making her step back as if the wind was knocked out of her realizing what I was handing Applejack.

“I fixed it, it’ll wipe out Equestria from the blast.” They all went pale. “If all hope is lost, save the world. The Lich won’t be able to come back, and he’ll rot forever under the hundred yards of cementing ash. Is that understood?” Applejack nodded taking it. The chanting stopped and we all looked as a large slab of cement appeared sliding slowly.

A wave of negative emotions washed through all of us as purple smoke started to pour from the tome darkening the sky with purple clouds. A wave of pressure shot out and every plant in the valley died instantly making everyone but me cough putting on their masks.

“Whoa.” Fluttershy said breathing a little fast.

“Big Mac get your pregnant wife out of here.” He picked her up and ran off with her and I pet Applejack. A hundred very buff earth and pegasus pony walked out of the tome as it opened fully. I gripped my hands as it felt like everything in this world was taken away.

“Do we attack?” Applejack asked and I looked up making them all look up as thousands of Lich Disciples fell from the sky, and filled the mountains above us.

“Yes.” The mountain tops exploded and soldiers started opening fire. The Dead Bringers all disappeared easily and appeared in the ranks of our soldiers ripping through them easily like they were nothing. Their armor was worthless.

The ground all around us ripped up surprising me as a dead pony grabbed my leg reaching up from the ground. I looked at the Vu Siths which were casting their magic and teleporting dead into the valley. Dead soon rained down from the sky.

“I’m going.” I said and Applejack looked at me, nodded shooting through a Lich Disciple easily, then started to run fighting. I sighed and stomped the dead pony’s head. If this wasn’t a large enough distraction, I don’t know what would be.

I walked pass the lines of dead and passed through them as they tried to grab me. Two Vu Sith looked at me as I grabbed their chests, passing through them and ripping out their souls, giving me two soul fruit. Their bodies fell to the ground turning to ash as I ate the fruit making the other Vu Siths move away from me scared.

“Stop him!” I looked at a Vu Sith and a Dead Bringer appeared in front of me. I dodged him and he fell to the floor as I entered his mind. I started walking down the steps of the tome and I smiled. I got to the bottom of the stairs entering a massive square room and frowned seeing over fifty Dead Bringers lined against the walls. They all looked at me.

“And my mood was so good.” I sighed as they all disappeared. I stepped back as two of them punched through the other’s head. A hoof went through my chest, then twelve more went through me. I grinned and the thirteen tried to pull out panicking. I blinked leaving all of their minds and they fell to their knees breathing hard.

“How?” One of them asked.

“So much power, yet you can’t use it.” I grinned, Big Mac had helped me great giving me tip. I walked down the hall and none of them moved to stop me. I got to the Lich’s tomb and I slid open the door. I walked inside and books lined the walls. I looked at the lich and he got up looking at me confused, it didn’t really matter that much that he was awake, but I would need to get to the Tree of Life to fully kill him.

“Who are you?” He asked in a magic rusted voice. He was a pure white bone skeleton right now, just freshly awakened. Once he fully awoke he would regain everything, and look like a normal pony.

“Excuse me.” I kicked his cement bed sliding it into the bookshelf surprising him as his leg hind leg broke. “That must hurt.” I looked at stairs and he tried to get up but couldn’t. “I’m sorry were you trying to do something.”

“Stop, you can’t go down there.” I chuckled lightly and then frowned as his bone healed instantly.

“Oh come on!” He started to grow muscle veins, and skin making him yell. “That’s not even close to fair!” I jumped down and started running as fast as I could. Lilly must have been cut once. I ran for a ways and then stopped at a low mist.

Tears rolled down my face seeing the Tree of Life. It was beautiful, golden in color with silver leaves and pink fruit on it. I walked over to it and reached for a fruit. A kick to my chin sent me flying through the ceiling and out of the ground into the sky. I looked down as my jaw healed and the lich appeared on the ground. He was complete.

His hair flowed darkness seeming to absorb the light, his cost was pure darkness, taller than Celestia, his horn glowed blackness, and his wings extended making the earth tremble and everything around him cracked.

“I’m back.” He growled. Cheers of the dead filled the air along with roars, the night sky turned white, then changed color a few times as ice broke off his body.

I grunted as he appeared in front of me punching at me and I caught his hoof, but his hoof ripped through my arm easily and the pressure sent me ripping through the top of a mountain, then flying through the Apple Wood sign and into the ground.

“Damn it.” I growled getting up, my body healed and he appeared in front of me. “You know this isn’t as much fun as I wanted.”

“So weak.” He said grinning.

“Here I was just inches from the tree, and you had to stop me, so not fair.”

“You knew of the tree, but how? I assumed it was lost to the ages.”

“Looks like I'll have to release my power, I was saving this in case of emergency, but taking over the world won’t matter if it’s all dead.”

“Go ahead.” I sighed and purple symbols appeared on my body, the ground turned black and I spread my wings out making golden chains appear on my body attached to the ground around me. They slowly melted away pouring onto the ground.

“Interesting, what kind of magic is that?” He asked eyeing the symbols and I grinned making him frown.

“Life magic.” His eyes went wide and he appeared in front of me punching at me and I moved dodging him. He rolled pass me following the energy of the punch. “Thanks, I don’t think I could have had enough time if you didn’t let me.”

“NO!” He punched at me and I caught his hoof, my scales ripped off of my skin sending blood all over the place melting the ground. He gasped as my chains fell off and I smiled. I finally was able to reach into the next world and unlock all my power.

Space itself fractured ripping holes into my world, they closed making the ground shake around us. He stared at me shocked, and I grabbed him pulling him close to me. I growled making him head butt me cracking his skull on mine. I grinned and he twisted my arms and jumped kicking me, jumping back away from me.

“Well.” I lit my hand with dead fire and his eyes went wide. “Look at that, I got all my dead fire, and I finally have all my power, wonderful.”

“Then we’re on equal ground.” I grunted a little, I didn’t want him to say it, but even with all my power and a huge boost, I was still only on his level, but I knew more magic.

“I wouldn’t say that.” I clapped my hands making black armor appear on me and he stomped his hoof making shadow armor appear on him. I held out my hands and swords appeared and he moved his head making a sword appear from fire.

“Oh I would.” He grinned as we both stared at each other, he then looked around realizing something was happening. “What has happen?” He asked sending out a message with his mind.

“We’re being attacked by some kind of creatures!” One of his Lich Disciples shouted in his head as he was ripped apart by my dolls. The Lich looked at me and I frowned, I had hoped to save my dolls for later, but this would work.

“What magic is this?” He asked looking at me.

“What magic?” He gasped as I appeared in front of him slicing and he didn’t have time to block as I sliced through his armor sending him flying, and causing the ground around me to crack. He got up as I appeared in front of him. He blocked my sword causing the mountain around him to shatter absorbing the blow.

“That magic!” He pushed me back and we went at it ripping through the ground and mountains.

After a while we ripped through the mountain ending up in the valley. I kicked down as we were mid air sending him flying into the ground making it explode ripping apart his dead, disciples and my soldiers in one shot.

I landed and he coughed blood. I fell to my knee as armor fell off of me. His armor was gone, and I only had a single chest plate left. He picked up his sword and it crumbled in his mouth. I pointed both of my swords at him and sighed as they crumbled away as well. I had used up all my large gem and blue one fighting him. I just had the small one left for my army and they were still fighting.

“Damn, and I was so close.” The Lich started to laugh and I walked over to him crushing him with my foot and he laughed harder.

“You can’t kill me!” He shouted.

“I don’t need to.” I grinned and he frowned as I teleported to the tree of life’s room. I grinned and reached for it. A kick sent me flying into the wall. I roared and then paused seeing Discord. The Lich teleported into the room and looked at Discord surprised.

“Oh no you don’t.”

“What are you doing?!” I shouted getting up.

“Don’t let him touch it.” Trixie said and I looked at her and all of them. From Celestia to Luna and Twilight and her friends, Spike and Lilly, including Shining armor and Princess Cadance, Dodge ran next to Lilly in battle armor. I grinded my teeth looking at them.

“What have you told them?” I growled and she frowned.

“Everything, every last thing,” Trixie said crying. “Spike you have to stop this, please, this world is still workable.” Discord grabbed the lich and hugged him stopping him from touching the tree, then shrunk him down to the size of a doll holding him tightly.

“We know everything.” Celestia said and I chuckled a little.

“So?” I asked and they all paused.

“You’re under arrest!” Twilight shouted and stepped forward.

“FOR WHAT?!” I yelled back.

“You.” Twilight started but then stopped.

“What did I do?”

“You’re evil, you took over your world, and you planed to take over this one once you touched the tree.” Dash said and I sighed sitting down tired.

“Okay then arrest me.” They all had a confused look go across their faces. The Twilight and her friends went forward and their elements of harmony started to glow. They fired them at me wrapping a rainbow around me. I blew some air and the elements of magic, loyalty, honesty and laughter all shattered falling to the ground.

“What?!” Pinkie asked feeling her neck realizing it was on the ground.

“How?!” Twilight asked, I snapped my claws and Twilight, Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Celestia, Trixie, Spike, and Lilly all fell to the ground in pain. I got up stretching and Luna went in front of them, and I chuckled.

“I figured something like this would happen, so I planted a seal on all of you, isn’t it beautiful. Can be extremely painful and deadly.” They all screamed in agony.

“Release them!” Luna shouted.

“Now dragon!” Shining Armor shouted and I chuckled as a dozen of my dolls appeared in the room making them look around. I appeared in front of Luna and she tried to move back as I punched her sending her flying into the wall cracking it and getting knocked out. My dolls attacked knocking out Fluttershy and Rarity.

A powerful shield bubbled around me and I looked around, then at Shining Armor and Cadance. They were making the shield around me stopping me. I felt it, they had a lot of power, I doubt I could break through. I looked at all my dolls and they were trapped as well, looking around. Cadance, Shining armor and discord were the only ones left, all the others were knocked out or in pain.

“Wow.” I clapped and Shining armor started to make my shield shrink. Twilight screamed in pain making him turn around looking at her.

“Release her!” He shouted.

“Release me, and I'll release her.”

“Don’t,” Discord said going over to Shining Armor. “If you release him, he’ll just trap them again, and he’s too fast.”

“I'll kill them.” Trixie screamed and they looked at her as she stopped moving. “One by one, let me out or I'll kill Dash next, then Pinkie, Applejack, Spike and finally Twilight, I'll make her suffer the longest.”

“Shining Armor don’t.” Cadance said sweating. They couldn’t keep this up, but making them all suffer could last for days.

“Then what do I do?!” He shouted. “It’s not like I can kill him, I couldn’t crush him, we don’t have enough power!”

“Our love is all the power we need.” She made the air cool refreshing them and he smiled as she nuzzled him. “I will make sure we have all the power we need.”

“Kill me and your sister dies.” I said scratching his shield making a sound of metal being ripped apart. “Stop me and save the save the world, or release me and save your sister.” He swallowed. Twilight screamed as did all of them making him shake. He looked at Twilight screaming.

“Kill him!” Twilight shouted and Shining Armor looked at me frowning. He started to crush me and Dash stopped screaming, then stopped moving making tears run down his face and Cadance’s face. Pinkie passed out, then Applejack passed out, Spike soon followed but died and Shining Armor crushed me more crushing my bones. Twilight stopped and he stopped as she died.

“NO!” He shouted and he crushed me completely into a small ball. All my dolls fell to the ground, but Dodge which had her own power supply and mind.

“Twilight!” His shields went away and he went to Twilight crying. Celestia stood up breathing hard and throwing up blood.

“Celestia.” Cadance said crying. She went over to Twilight’s body.

“My pour student, I’m sorry I could not save you.” Tears hit the ground and Dodge went over to me without any of them noticing and kicked my bloody ball into the Tree of Life and all of them turned a moment too late as my body healed instantly letting me fall to the ground grinning.

“NO!” Discord shouted and I cracked my back and they looked at Dodge.

“She’s a doll.” Lilly finally managed to shout and they finally heard her, but it was too late.

“Oh, yes!” I said grinning. “YES!” I shouted making the ground crack and shake. The Tree of Life turned to dust appearing on my chest and burning into it filling me with power. I snapped my claws bringing all of them back and healing all of them instantly. Twilight and the others got up coughing.

“I’m alive.” Dash said looking around.

“What?” Shining Armor asked confused and I walked passed him grabbing the Lich from Discord frowning.

“My pet!” I growled at him making him step back. I snapped my claw bringing all that were killed back to life and healing them, killing all of the lich minions instantly forever. I went over to Trixie and picked her up shrinking her as well.

“You betrayed me?!” I shouted at her and she whimpered. “I told you before, I’m your master and I own you!” I made her squeak and I chuckled. I went over to Lilly and she crawled back scared. “Go home right now.” I growled. “And take Spike with you young lady.” She went over to Spike and they left.

“Why did you bring us back?” Twilight asked and I looked at her.

“I took over this world a long time ago, you just didn’t realize it. I didn’t want to kill you guys, but you didn’t give me much choice.” I went over to Shining Armor and pulled off his horn and sticking it onto Applejack’s head.

“My horn!” He shouted, but then stepped back.

“You tried to kill me, no horn for you.” I went over to Cadance and took her horn and wings putting them on Pinkie. “And you don’t get a horn or wings either.” Pinkie stretched her wings as they changed to her color, the horn as well. Applejack felt her new horn and looked at me confused.

“Um.” Pinkie said unsure and I hugged her kissing her head.

“I love you to Pinkie, I never could really tell you that before.” I pulled Applejack over to me. “You to Applejack. You both are wonderful mares.” I tapped Applejack’s dragon soul gem and she looked at it. “This was more than just a simple gem, it’s pure love. It’s stronger than diamond, can’t be destroyed, and it’s connected to your heart, it’ll never stop.”

“Thanks.” She smiled a little blushing.

“But you killed me.” Pinkie said and I laughed.

“As if I could kill a well fed Spring Winter.” I kissed her. “I couldn’t kill you if I wanted to, you both were just knocked out. I still have to unlock your powers, you’ll be a lot of fun when I do.” I kissed her.

“So, um.” Dash said.

“Yeah I did kill you, and Twilight, don’t worry I’ve killed you both before, it’s not a big deal honestly.”

“What?!” Twilight shouted and I appeared in front of her making her back up.

“What indeed.” They all backed away from me scared. “Big Mac.” He walked into the room. “Take your wife please, and you don’t have to stay married to her any more, I no longer need you to keep her happy.”

“What?!” Fluttershy shouted crying.

“It’s not what ya think!” Big Mac said going to her.

“He was going to kill you, it’s worse than you think, now out of here. Also your foal will be due soon, so you should get to the hospital.

“You can hate me on the way!” Big Mac shouted throwing her on his back and running away. “Now then, let’s have some fun.”

“Rarity.” I appeared next to her. “I got nothing for you, you can go home.” She teleported away. “You to Dash.” She teleported away as well. I went over to Celestia and she backed up away from me. “You’re going to marry the Lich.” I set him down growing him to his real size and she stared at him for a moment.

“Um.” He said unsure.

“Kiss.” I used my magic to make them kiss. “We’ll be having your wedding soon enough don’t you worry. Get to know each other, you both are immortal and you are so powerful. You’ll go with each other.” They teleported to Canterlot.

“And me?” Twilight asked.

“Pinkie, you can go home, here.” I handed her Trixie. “Take Trixie and have her sleep, she’s had a hard day.” They teleported home. “Applejack you have troops to gather and get things done. Clean up is going to be annoying, oh but before you go.” I tapped her side making her grow wings. She stretched her wings and smiled, then ran out of the room.

“What about us?” Shining Armor asked blocking Cadance.

“Go home.” The teleported back to the Crystal Empire. Twilight looked at Luna and Discord nervously. I went over to Discord and he tried to teleport. I grabbed him and pulled him close to my face making him gulp.

“Rape Luna.”

“What?!” Twilight and Luna shouted.

“Problem?” I asked and they became nervous. I threw Discord at her and she looked at him nervously. “Or Luna, you can with Discord.” She looked at me as I pulled Twilight close to and I grinned. “If you don’t, I'll feel sorry for Twilight.” I slid my claw across her face and she yipped in pain.

“Fine.” Luna said and she grabbed Discord.

“Luna think about this.” She kissed him as tears went down her face.

“Please, Twilight is a dear friend.” He sighed and turned her over kissing her and moving down getting her ready before going inside her and she easily moaned, Discord was quite nice and large. She would be pleased. They went for a little and I appeared next to them touching their shoulder putting seals on them.

“That’s all I needed.” I picked up Twilight and shrunk her down to the size of a doll and made her squeak. I chuckled a little bit smiling.

“Why?” She asked and I turned her over, then I kissed her belly blowing and she started to laugh. “Why are you doing this to me?” She asked as I stopped.

“You remind me of my mother, have since I first met you, she was just like you, so smart, I miss her deeply.” I pet her and pushed good feelings inside her making her relax. “She wanted a pure world like this one, and after I left I finally gave it to her.”

“What?”

“I took over my world after so much darkness, I cleaned it, and gave her the dream she wanted so badly. I almost couldn’t stand seeing her get it, but now I’m happy for her.” I walked outside and looked around smiling. I snapped my claws making everything come back to its living green. I went over to a rock under a tree and laid down. I set Twilight on my belly and she laid down looking at me.

“You really loved her didn’t you?”

“She’s my mom, of course.” I pet Twilight.

“Father.” I looked at Dodge. “Can I go home?”

“Yes, and tell Lilly I'll be home soon, and to expect a spanking once I get there, no daughter of mine tries to kill her father!” She nodded. “No wait.” She looked at me. “Come and sit down, you did wonderfully today.” She smiled and laid down next to me. “And for that I’m making you into a real pony.” I rubbed her back and she gasped.

“What?” She asked breathing a little hard.

“I’ve been meaning to do that for a while, you’re alive now, I can’t control you anymore, so enjoy.” She smiled as tears went down her face and I pulled her close hugging her. “I love you Dodge, it’s been a while, but I do.” She nodded laying down her head and I rubbed her back a little.

“So what are you going to do with me?” Twilight asked.

“You’re my pet till I say otherwise.” I tickled her for a while, stopping as she started to breathe a little hard from laughing. “I never thought about doing this in my world.” I looked up at the blue sky. “I bet my Twilight would have enjoyed a breeze like this.”

“Why not go back?” I looked at Twilight pausing. I could, and easily. I would now have absolute power if I went back.

“You think I should? I mean I can pass between worlds easily now.”

“Yes.” Twilight said.

“Dodge, you should got home, I’m going to be going to my other world.” I set Twilight down and she changed back to her normal size. “I'll be back shortly, once I open the portal time will lock forever at the same rate. So I'll back, maybe in a while. Also Twilight, do not take Pinkie’s horn or wings, or Applejack’s either. Is that understood? Or I'll take yours and more than that.”

“Yes.” I got up and sliced the air opening a portal. Everything for a moment seem to go immobile and Twilight paused feeling it to.

“I'll see you soon.” Dodge nodded and I walked through the portal into my throne room. I looked around. My castle was crumbling to the ground. Plenty of dragons inhabited the breeding grounds. None of them seemed to mind me. I smiled a little bit and stretched my wings taking flight.
