“It's over, impostor, or should I say Shadow Dragon.” Rufus issued off in labeling the truth of who the enemy is thanks to Ben’s last touch.

“But Rufus... That's not Shadow Dragon. That’s actually….Herald of Melancholy!” Ben exclaimed off in shock in what he saw, that Chase was…someone else.

This puzzled the others until Ben’s Lens Of Truth cause Chase's disguise to slowly dispersed as his body slowly transformed into the form of Lelouch. And even the lens helped Ben do something to Tech as Tech's body was changing to transform into Celtic.

“Lelouch and Celtic?!” Mane Six responded off in seeing these faces.

“You've gotta be kidding me!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in seeing who they were not happy to see.

“Boo…” Lelouch let off a slight surprise while he was kept lock by Kilik’s pole & felt the sacred mirror burning his evil flesh.

“Oy-oy….What the heck is this?!” Bickslow raised an eyebrow in seeing something fishy go on here as he sent his five tiki heads to secure & watch Celtic to keep her from moving.

“Something is amiss! This can't be him! This isn't Chase's true form!” Rufus narrow his eyes in seeing this was not who they were expecting.

“Then, where is he?! TALK YOU!” Kilik snapped off for those they have captured to explain themselves.

“Urrrgh…you’re lucky your mirror actually is hurting me enough that I find the strength to kill you harder to do.” Lelouch groans a bit from seeing this guy was lucky that his sacred mirror that held a shard of the Element of Light was hurting the guy enough to have it hard to struggle to kill the pony.

“Can somepony tell us what the heck is going on?!” Ben asked off in not figuring out, what the hay is happening here.

“Hah-hah…It's quite simple, Ben.” Lelouch laughed in amusement while ignoring the pain he’s dealing from Kilik’s mirror while still in a grip hold. “I disguised myself as Chase, per these ponies' instruction. They want to prove evidential facts that Chase was trying to destroy the Mystic Shield. And in reality, they want to get rid of him.” The guy made a random accusation about what was going on.

“Is this true?!” Ben looked to those that were in on this.

“Ben, listen to me. He's lying! We weren't trying to do that! We aim to expose a spy who pose to be someone who is not what you think he is.” Kilik spoke to have Ben listen to reason, they were not trying to get rid of Chase; they were trying to find a spy.

“And yet, you tried to frame him. Trap him to prove that he's the enemy, isn't it?” Lelouch questioned off this about what’s happening.

“Hey, you got it wrong. We only were trapping the guy that was gonna destroy the shield of which no one knows where it is.” Bickslow explained the bit of pieces of what was going on.

“Bickslow!” Rufus looked to his friend for speaking too much.

“What!?” Bickslow replied off puzzled.

“I can’t believe this. Why is it that Chase has to be the center of trouble? This is ridiculous! Someone, tell me Why?” Ben snapped off in feeling like he’;s had it, why is it that every time he turns around, Chase is becoming a victim, why?

“Ben, it’s complicated. He’s trying to attack you through your emotions.” Kilik stated in seeing what Lelouch was plotting from the guy making a hidden grin.

“Even still, I don’t think this is helping me understand what is wrong! Why do you or any other veterans feel like you don’t give Chase a chance! Just tell me why?” Ben asked off in having had it, he wants answers about what is the deal about Chase.

“Ben, it’s because…Chase…is Shadow Dragon.” Rufus implored out to simply say this as he flew near to give Ben this news.

“That’s impossible, I saw Chase help us during the Clone Six Rescue.” Ben issued off to say this in having seen both Chase & Shadow Dragon together, they can’t be the same.

“Kid, you gotta know that was a basic Clone tactic for deceiving one of who’s the enemy & friend. Even Azuma reported a sense a clone in your party.” Bickslow shook his head off in stating the truthful fact that it was a clone trick to fool one about thinking the enemy can’t be the other.

“Wha….but that can’t be! Chase was…He can’t be Shadow Dragon cause of….he’s not over a 500 years old!” Ben yelped in trying to figure out a loop of that logic, but there didn’t seem one.

“It’s true Ben, because I was there. Chase is his only alias. There weren’t many ponies that had the name.” Rufus spoke in showing up to Ben in stating this important factor, much to everyone’s shock. “Besides, I already have seen your memory. And believe in me, I would never, ever try to ask the Demon to help us to do this.” He spoke off to say this while looking to Lelouch, they would never ask someone like him to frame Chase for something; they find facts, not place trickery on someone who is truly innocent.

“We were trying to defend the Mystic Shield because that is the enemy’s target. Besides….” Kilik stated off in keeping Lelouch bind in his lock while his mirror hurts the guy to not resist. “Do you actually believe what this Herald says to be true?” He stated that someone like a Herald Of Melancholy can’t be trusted.

“I’m not sure what I believe in! But I am sick of this! It’s time to stop being played around by this game!” Ben exclaimed off in feeling upset while pointing his anger to focus on Lelouch. “Alright, start talking! What are you doing here?! What are you after? If you're after the shield, you would destroy it!” He wants answers, & if this guy was gonna destroy the shield, he would have already been done with it, so why the disguise game.

“You're right. I should have, but I'm not. I'm just here to play with you all. They did ask me nicely after all.” Lelouch smirked off to simply say this in knowing this much.

“Enough with your twisted games! Tell me what's really going on! Or else maybe you’ll change your tune with that sacred mirror itching closer to destroy you for GOOD!” Ben snapped off in fury. He has had enough of these stupid games, he want answers now!

“Fine... Sounds like you're party popper.” Lelouch rolled his eyes to sigh in knowing he’s in no place to argue when given his options. “Give you a hint. A father & son shall fight over the control of Mystic Shield. Who will be the victor? Who will be the defeater? I wonder. It's like playing chess game.” Lelouch smirked off to say this little riddle of a clue here.

“Stop with the riddles!” Ben snapped off in getting fed up with this guy.

“Wait a minute, father & son…if everyone believed Shadow Dragon was the spy, then…” Twilight thought for the moment before she gasped at what she learn. “Mr. Tao! Tao is the father to Shadow Dragon & he has the control of the Mystic Laser Canon. It powers the Mystic Shield! We have to get to Mystic Realm now!” Twilight exclaimed in having understood that hint, of what was happening.

“What?!” Ben yelped off in having heard this to be surprised.

“Tao's in trouble!” Starlight repeated off in having heard this to be shocked.

“What about Mr. Herald?!” Rainbow Dash remotely pointed to their ugly captive here.

“Uh... What Herald?!” Pinkie Pie asked off in looking back at something puzzled & random.

Suddenly, Celtic used some magic to make herself & Lelouch disappear from everyone’s sights. That made many feel concern in knowing, that is not a good thing. The two appeared outside the abandon factory in seeing they made their escape.

“Well, that was fun. I play my part already. Time for the finale. Let's see how you handle the greatest plot twist in the entire history, Ben Mare!” Lelouch made a wicked comment in looking back at the spot, he was laughing until he cringe; his body was still hurt thanks to the Element Of Light; even as a shard in a sacred mirror, it’s purity was harmful even to him to put up with.

“You shouldn't have waste time playing a fool, if I had not pulled you out, you would not survive much longer.” Celtic lectures Lelouch about his action;she had to get them out of there since they played their part.

“Whatever, lets kick back & watch the show.” Lelouch rolled his eyes in seeing they may as well enjoy what comes next.

Back with the others, they have seen the Lelouch & Celtic escape, but they have more pressing matters of concern; Tao maybe endanger…

“Come on, let's go! We have to stop Shadow Dragon!” Twilight issued off in what they gotta do.

“No tellin’ wha dat ruffian will do ta his own kin!” Applejack stated off in imaging something bad could happen.

“Let us come with you, my friends.” Kilik stated that he, Bickslow & Rufus wish to come.

“Yeah! I can set the traps for you!” Bickslow smiled off to say this while his tikis replied off ‘for you’ a bit.

“We must hurry, we can’t waste time!” Rufus stated to say this in knowing time is crucial.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure that’s a good idea. After everything, I just…can’t trust things unless I see with my own eyes!” Ben stated off in feeling upset & angry over having recall Lelouch & his words, if he wants to learn the truth…he must see for it himself.

Before anyone could do anything, Ben gallops off at once as he exited the entrance. Twilight & her friends looked concern & worry about him; Ben’s emotions seem to be completely lost & confused in not knowing if he should trust Chase or the others.

“I’m sorry for this. We've gotta help Mr Tao now.” Twilight told the others this about knowing Ben didn’t mean such things, but they have no time to argue.

Afterwards, Twilight & her friends left at once while Goldie’s group, Rufus, Bickslow, & Kilik remain before the Royal Sisters flew in to check on them.

“Forgive us your highnesses. It appears that the plan has come somewhat undone to lead your son astray from blind confusion that has upset & anger him.” Rufus hubby stated in seeing what was done that seem a bit out of plan.

“We know that Chase is Shadow Dragon, but it looks like he’s trying to give Ben a hard time in who to trust. The kid look ready to explode!” Bickslow rubbed the back of his head in what they saw.

“We have to try to save him as he saved to protect me from my own nightmare.” Kilik stated in knowing that they must keep Ben safe, before more trouble arises.

“I understand, but if the enemy succeeds in destroying the true core, we’ll need to defend Ponyville.” Celestia stated in feeling that if the enemy comes, they must be here to defend.

“Don’t worry…I have an eye on them.” Rufus stated to say this in showing a smile across his face.

“What do you…” Luna was about to ask that question that held a hidden mystery….

Just then, Rufus’s image began to fad out of nowhere, leaving many to ponder what was that. Could it be Rufus has left with the others, question is, why…? The scene darkens under more riddles, but hopefully answers will come to light.

-----------------

The scene changes to what is a different location, where Chase & Tech arrived at Sacred Platform within the Mystic Realm. They found several large metallic yet golden wheeled cannons aiming at the portals that led straight to the Equestria. In middle, the cannons were wiring & connecting to a large golden sphere containing pure blue energy-like within.

“Wow! They're really here!” Tech exclaimed in what they saw.

“Whoever send this letter to me, he has done the job very well.” Chase held a letter that told them about this location; how anonymous, but useful.

“Good thing, my Chameleonbots work well & knocked the Guards out.” Tech chuckled a bit while he smiled off in being proud of what he did.

“Either way, set the charges out on the cannons & Mystic Energy Sphere. Time to detonate it.” Chase issued off in what they need to do.

After a while, Chase & Tech headed off as they all set the charges on both cannons & the sphere. The charges were specially made with corruptible Dark Mystic Energy to cause a total meltdown in overloading that which has kept Equestria safe. The plan was simple: First the cannons will go in eliminating the attack of firing. Second will be the sphere, to remove that which would power up the next time the Mystics develop such things. With the cannons gone & their only source of power remove permanently, it will be all over with.

“So you did come for the canons., didn't you, my son?” Tao’s voice is heard from afar…

Suddenly, the two that were planning to leave cease their motion of escape. For Chase turned & glared at Tao, who was standing near in front of the entrance.

“So, you knew about me, didn't you?” Chase exclaimed to narrow his eyes at Tao who has unlock the truth.

“From the day you came & the fighting skills you possessed, nopony have such ability but you & Mystic Ponies.” Tao shook his head in stating these facts.

“He knew?! But why didn't he warn the others?” Tech yelped with worry, the guy knew the whole time?

“Tao, you figured Ben could get easily emotional. And the only way to prove that I am Shadow Dragon, he needs a proof of me & the activities.” Chase explained off in what was the basic means to show the truth of his ruse.

“No. I want to talk with you. I want to bring you home, Dragon Hope. Please turn back now. We can still rebuild our relationship & everything you have done.” Tao shook his head while offering to help this stallion become the son he lost.

“It's too late, father.” Chase exclaimed off with a serious frown.

“It's never too late, son. Please.” Tao insisted that the pony reconsider.

“Your son died when everyone turned against him about love with a mortal. And worse is how corrupt our home is. But I'm giving you a chance, father. Leave now. You'll be fine.” Chase issued off in giving a threatening, but fair choice to let Tao walk away, or be sorry.

“I can't let you do this. You know that.” Tao sighs to shake his head in knowing he can’t walk away this time.

“Then, sorry if I have to do this!” Chase exclaimed off to say this with a stone cold expression.

Chase soon charged in while he readied to punch his target, causing Tao blocked it with his hooves. Chase continued punching & kicking at Tao, who blocked & deflected the attacks swiftly for a few times. And just before Tao could do anything, Chase jumped & gave a swipe kick on Tao's face hard. Chase charged & attacked Tao, who was forced to block & deflected the attacks.

“It doesn't have to be this way. Please, stop!” Tao begged out for his son.

“You were my father! A father who risked everything to defend me! You believed in me! You trusted me! And you loved me! And what did you do when ponies turned their backs on me about Drake Blackstar?! What did you do?!” Chase glared at the old stallion in knowing how things went in the past.

Tao remained silent yet guilty about the manner.

“I’m sorry, son. I really am. For everything.” Tao shook his head sadly for the suffering his son was given 500 years ago.

“Same can't be said from me!” Chase glared at Tao in making that remark.

And just before Tao could do anything, Chase punched on the former's chest hard for a few times. Chase jumped & then kicked him off hard. Tao summoned his five cards as he chanted while firing Elemental Powers at Chase. Chase dodged & deflected the powers while charging straight at him. And just before Tao could do anything, Chase kicked & landed on him down hard.

“It's over, father.” Chase remarked this off to the old stallion.

“Son, please. Think about what you did! Think about your action! Think about Iris Crystal! You spent three years at Ponyville for defending their home.” Tao tried to reach out for his son to know of what he’s done.

“It’s to win their trust!” Chase coldly stated this of what he was only doing, nothing more.

“You're a poor liar, son. You grew a bond with them. You grew in love with them. And above all, you're becoming part of friendship & family, including Iris's little brother. Please, turn back.” Tao tried one last time to get his son to listen to his heart.

Chase hummed in shame before he sighed at this.

“Sorry, dad. It's already too late.” Chase slowly stated this off that it’s too late now…

“Chase!” Then a voice was called out as it belong to Ben’s voice.

Chase looked up & found Ben along with his friends standing before him while noticing the situation.

“So you know!” Chase exclaimed off to mention this out.

“Why? Why are you doing this, Chase?” Ben asked off in seeing Tao lay on the ground & Chase having hurt him; why was the guy doing this.

Suddenly, Chase transformed into the form of Shadow Dragon which made everyone show reactions.

“That's why.” The now revealed true face behind Chase said as Shadow Dragon.

“I don’t believe it! Rufus & the others were right!” Rarity gasped in seeing the true face of the real enemy seen.

“Chase really is…Shadow Dragon!” Fluttershy exclaimed to say this in seeing it to believe it.

“Wow, took almost three years before finding that out, hugh?” Pinkie Pie exclaimed din surprise shock of having seen this.

“So, everything was a lie?! But what about our friendship?! What about our training?! What about everything we did to protect Ponyville and Equestria?!” Ben asked off in feeling like his heart was torn, he let his anger cloud his judgement about Chase being Shadow Dragon by his friends & now the enemy has shown his true colors.

“Everything we did is true. And believe me, I truly enjoy it. But I can't let this get in my way, Ben. Sorry.” Shadow Dragon sighs to say this in while it was good for a while, the masking of being someone else…has come to an end.

“Then please, don’t do this! We can still prove that you’re not evil! ” Ben pleaded as if looking like he’s tearing up in side from having to accept, his close friend was truly an enemy all along. “Don’t do this to me! I don’t wanna regret my decision in not seeing that you are a good pony inside. Just please, tell us that much!” Ben was almost on a motion of feeling like he’ll let off tears of regret if he can’t get through to this guy.

“You know this is not what she wanted; for Iris Crystal. Please, don't destroy everything she wanted for you.” Twilight nodded in wanting Shadow Dragon to not throw away what his old love left for him to do with his life.

Many were in slow nods & agreeing terms & look to plead for Shadow Dragon to reconsider his choice. For if he crosses the line, then there can be no going back.

“It's too late, Ben. Tech, now!” Shadow Dragon shook his head to sadly say, while signaling Tech to move onto their plan.

“Cannons gonna blow in 3…2…1…” Tech smile doff to nod while pressing the explosion trigger.

“Nooooooo!” Everyone called out in seeing this, but…it’s too late.

Suddenly, within the outside location of the Laser Cannons, they were exploding off. The pointed at the portals were soon destroyed, reduced to nothing but rubble & the magical energy expired.

“He really blew up the cannons?” Rainbow Dash looked out in seeing what happened.

“Just like a rat ta be sneaky!” Applejack remarked off in seeing what Tech had gone & done.

“And now….Adios, amigo! One Mystic Energy Sphere kabloomie, coming up!” Tech issued off to say that soon, the last thing to go will be the sphere.

“I think not…” Then someone else was heard speaking & soon blur into the scene near the sidelines for all to see.

“Rufus?” The Mane Six gang replied off in surprise, their ally was here…

“You followed us…but…”Ben was surprised, Rufus came after them even when he let off a bad tantrum…

“This time, the trap will work.” Rufus stated to say this in narrowing his eyes at Shadow Dragon.

“You mean that Elemental Blackout Alchemy thing?” Phobos raised an eyebrow in being curious about what was used before on Lelouch posing himself as Chase?

“Fool….perhaps you never knew, but allow me to tell you. The Element Blackout Alchemy was a spell designed by the Element of Darkness. It will work on others, but it won’t work on me.” Shadow Dragon remarked off as he steps away from Tao to tell anyone that a spell like that won’t work on him since it’s a spell related to darkness.

“I know, that is why…I have memorized it.” Rufus smiled off with confidence in having a different motive in the work

“Hugh…what’s that mean?” Spike replied off lost, what did Rufus mean.

“Memory Make - Element BurstLight Alchemy!” Rufus spoke forth this as he taps his forehead, but then announced something…bizarre!

Then suddenly, a spell circle was seen forming underneath of Shadow Dragon, who believed it was the Element Blackout Alchemy, only this time…it was form of pure blue & white lights. A sudden light voltage surged across his body, causing the darkness of his area to be exposed while he…felt strange.

“GRRUUUARRRRUGHHHH!” Shadow Dragon roared off a painful cry as he was seen struggling before the spell faded, but he fell on his knees. His dark aura faded from his body, his fur was shown some painful burn marks of where the surges of light touched him.

“Shadow Dragon!” Tech yelped in what he saw as he panicked a bit.

“What….is this? This pain…my Element…shutdown…HOW? That was not the Element Blackout Alchemy.” Shadow Dragon clutch himself in feeling strange, his element is not responding, what sort of spell did he get hit with?

“I have memory of a different spell that exist. Combining the Element Blackout Alchemy perform by Bickslow, but utilizing the purity force of the Element Of Light found in Kilik’s mirror, I made this spell to be most effective on Element Users with a Dark Force to shut down their Elements used for evil, & to purify them or burn away those evil…And the effect will last for a full day.” Rufus issued off to mention this about having done something unexpected, he made a new spell version of Element Blackout Alchemy to which it effects beings of darkness, even the very Element of Darkness too.

“Grrr…you invented a new spell by memory! A spell none have ever dreamed was possible! Curses…the letter didn’t mention you were in on this!” Shadow Dragon cursed from feeling that his strength was dropped, he did not foreseen this nor did the anonymous helper tell him about it.

“Don’t worry SD, we’re still on top of this, they can’t stop the sphere from blowing up in 60 seconds. And it being in the Mystic Realm, the reaction will level all the Mystics to keep them from helping in the invasion.” Tech smiled off to let Shadow Dragon know, they will still be on top, as when the Mystic Energy Sphere goes KABLAM, it’ll destroy much areas of the Mystic Realm.

“Wrong, you will not achieve that, what you did may work in the Mystic Realm, but outside it, it will only be a normal explosion.” Rufus issued off to slyly say this in having spoke out what flaw lies in that plan.

“Rufus, what are you…” Ben was about to ask another question, when…

“Memory Make - Warp Teleportation!” Rufus spoke off in seen preparing another move out of the blue.

Then without warning, Rufus teleported everyone but Tao from the area; but even more so, the Mystic Power Sphere was also gone too.

“Aieyah….I must gather the others, this will not be good! This will be very bad!” Tao exclaimed doff in worrying that things are about to get bad, & he must warn his allies of the danger Equestria may soon face.

Everything goes black with Tao hurrying off to warn many of what has transpired.

------------------

Back within the place of where the ambush would have happened, Bickslow, KIlik, Goldie’s group were there while the Royal Sisters went to get things ready for an attack until suddenly, a light flash before them. And soon appearing, was the Mane Six group, followed by Rufus, along with a stumbling Tech & Shadow Dragon on the ground still under the effects of the spell, Element BurstLight Alchemy. And what was also brought was the Mystic Energy Sphere counting down the minutes.

“Wait, we’re back in the old candy factory!” Nyx exclaimed to see where they ended up back in.

“Yo, what happened?” Bickslow asked off in what was the 4111.

“So you did find Shadow Dragon, what about the Mystic Shield…” Kilik saw Shadow Dragon on the ground looking a bit worse for wear, but what about the Mystic Shield; was it safe?

“Unfortunately, it’s too late & we must hurry.” Rufus stated that there is no time to explain, they must getaway while the getting is good.

“Wraaaaaauughhh…..” The Mystic Shield was letting off a strange screeching cry as it was starting to shake the entire area while cracks were forming around it. The trigger device was unleashing a strange darkness to cause harm on the Mystic Energy Sphere.

“Eehehehehehhe…..” Both Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena were making weird noises as if having their Pinkie Senses go off before… “SHE’s GONNA BLOOOOW!” They both shouted off that the Mystic Shield's energy sphere is about to blow up.

“Quick, everyone, outside!” Golden issued off that they need to get everyone to safety here.

“But what about Azure?” Jack Zen asked in seeing the Kirin was still down there.

“He’s a Kirin, he’ll make it out okay. Trust me!” Pinkamena stated to say that knowing her dragon pal, he’s a tough nut to crack.

“We must evacuate the area.” Omega stated off in what they need to do here, right away.

"Everyone, this way!" Starlight Glimmer waved off to the others to head for where they came in.

Everyone was quickly heading out of the door at this time, Ben used his Pegasus Boots to speedily reach the top to join the others. Rufus vanish in a fast instant while Bickslow had his Dolls form some sorta totem pole which he used to fly off on outta here. The only ones remaining were a slow moving Azure that was getting his bearings from the events that blown off the Weeping Dragon Flowers & saw that Shadow Dragon & Tech before him.

“Um, SD….you do have a plan for us to get out before this blows, right?” Tech asked off nervously in seeing they best get out before they are caught in the explosion.

“Fool, we’ll escape by a Corridor of Darkness. Now let’s….” Shadow Dragon remarked the coward’s lack to knowing how they travel as he’ll use his Dark Mystic magic to open one…

“You’re not going anywhere!” Then Azure came to tackle a distracted Shadow Dragon to the ground as they are seen wrestling against another.

“Waaaaugh!” Tech screamed out in seeing that Azure had Shadow Dragon, & worse, the Mystic Energy Sphere's about to BLOW! This is so not good!

“Wraaaaaauughhhh…..” The Mystic Shield's energy sphere lets off a screeching scream while its structure was beginning to crack under pressure & light was escaping, it was blinding everyone in the room…

Then it all goes dark at this time from when something was about to happen….

-------------------

Outside the factory, everything looked fine for a few brief moments until… “Srrupvhmmm…Boomfruvhmmm….” Without warning, light flash from outside the windows before it was soon imploded from the inside as much of it started to crumble a bit. “Drusisisfrufrufruvhmm…” Then an invisible shield that was made by Mystic Magic started to deteriorate itself as it was vanishing bit by bit. The others from Goldie’s group that awaited outside the abandon factory watch something happened above while they notice what happened before.

“Oh no! What’s happening? First an explosion by the old Shield Toy & Candy Factory, now this?” Autumn Gem yelped with worry in what was happening here all of a sudden.

“The Mystic Shield must have been destroyed, the shield around the town is fading!” Sombra stated with a serious face in seeing the disaster that was befalling them.

"That couldn't happen unless the Mystic Shield was...destroyed!" Fila exclaimed in realizing what this could very much mean.

“Everyone, we got bigger problems ahead!” Suddenly, Flutterbat flew in from afar as it was safe for her to be out when it was nighttime, but alerted those here of trouble.

Just outside of Ponyville while the Mystic Shield’s barrier shield was disappearing, a large army of Dark Mystic Soldier ranks were seen awaiting to march in.

“There’s a whole army of Dark Mystics, preparing to launch a full scale raid.” Flutterbat’s voice is heard from stating that there is an enemy’s large army about to attack once the shield has faded.

“The shield is down!” One Dark Soldier stated in seeing what was going on ahead of them.

“We can attack!” A second Dark Soldier declared in knowing what this means for them now.

“Then let’s do this!” A third Dark Soldier announced that they attack and show no mercy.

"What of the cannons?" A fourth Dark Soldier question in being concern.

"The commander just got report, they are destroyed along with the Mystic Energy Sphere. The shield is gone for GOOD!" A fifth Dark Soldier issued off to report this matter of what they have learn.

“Yeeeaaaaahhh….” Soon the roars of a thousand Dark Mystic Soldiers were heard screaming their battle cries as they are about to go into action here.

Arriving on the scene was Celestia & Luna as they landed outside of the former hiding spot of the Mystic Shield. They were too late, the shield that protected them is gone & it not only stop powerful attacks from destroying the town, but weaken any foes that enter Ponyville. With that gone, they must rely on their own strength it seems.

“This doesn’t look good sister. The enemy has waited for this moment to attack once the shield was destroyed.” Luna stated with a serious face in seeing what was happening here, the Dark Mystics are about to lay siege on them with no defense.

“I know Luna, be we won’t give up without a fight. We’ll protect this place as we are princesses with the responsibility for their citizens.” Celestia spoke forth in sounding like a true ruler that won’t abandon their citizens when they need protection.

“Royal Guards, stand ready!” Luna turn back to the large number of Royal Guards they have to help them out.

“Yes ma’am!” The Royal Guards all spoke in being ready to do what they can to help.

“May we have victory this day…” Celestia prayed off in wishing that they can win this battle, or else…all is lost.

Now everyone watches as those prepare while seeing the enemy begin to march from their spot towards Ponyville. This is gonna be a tough call, no Mystic Shield, now enemies will attack from anywhere. But first things first, the Equestrians must survive this battle if they hope to see another tomorrow. What’s gonna happen from here and on through…that’s a question best serve to answer…afterwards…

Author's note
Now this chapter really made things get intense. In the next chapter, the Equestrians fight against the Dark Mystics army trying to raid & destroy Ponyville. Azure comes out fine & decides to take on the army along with other heroes in the area. But while that matter is happening, Shadow Dragon is soon in the midst of facing those he deceive to get close, Ben & the Mane Six. However, even in a disadvantage of numbers, his seal element & earlier wounds, Shadow Dragon still proves to be tough for them. Ben struggles from recalling Shadow Dragon having been a friend when he was Chase, & feels unable to fight him, but when he sees those he cares for, those that are his TRUE Friends & his family in danger...Ben will unlock something of a 'new' move to turn the tide. What will happen next from here? Stay tune to find out more...

There was a scene which involves restoring the forgotten memories from "Sunset Shimmer Returns", but due to a pal of mine not liking it, the erasing thing was erased as a result of the reboot in "Cutie Mark ReMark".

Okay Jus...

For REALS this time, nigel & I have come to agreement. That the scene with Epona will stay.

The event of when Ben first encounters Epona, will be made into a different story since nigel doesn't want him to appear in Road To The End. I'll just make a short story of when the event happens after Ben recovers the last Triforce piece. So now that we have come to a new steady agreement, things will now work out fine.

That is all, you can relax to know what comes in the next chapter, can be as it's seen as what was discuss out, has come to a close.

So hope this will make things be on a calm road now...
