"Oh, s*yay!*..." Black muttered to himself as he noticed that Apophis' soul had entered Belial. He knew at this point that acting fast was something that needed to be done, remembering at the same time that he still had the specially-made guitar nearby.
Rep: (Getting to the edge of the crater, at the bottom of which lay the bar) Hmmm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Time energy still flowed from the access point, down into Rep*
Silver tossed his sword, aiming perfectly at Belial's chest... right for his heart. An instant later, he snapped down on the claw with his teeth, his sharp fangs sinking into the flesh. The force shoved him back a few inches, but he held his ground.
Rep: (debating on how he can get down to the bar or get the bar to the surface without attracting attention from whatever he felt.)
Belial yanked the claw out of Silver's teeth, turning it back to a hoof. Then he noticed the sword through his chest. As he moved to yank it out, Azrael, dark aura surrounding his body and eyes dimly glowing blue, rammed him, knocking him thirty feet back. Raven used this as an opportunity to run, slide and grab her magic guitar.
Rep: (Taking the Time energy and ever so subtly twisting a path into the bar through Time and Space, but still being above the ground.)
"You taste like filth," Silver said, spitting Belial's blood on the floor. He drew a short dagger, then stood back to let Raven take her shots.
Raven played a quick solo, charging a ball of energy in front of her. "Get him, Rave!" Maya cheered. At the end of the solo, the ball launched, smashing into Belial, exploding, knocking him back further and appearing to render him unconscious.
Silver reached into his bag and pulled out a small grenade, which he affixed to the dagger before tossing the blade at Belial's forehead.
Belial suddenly sprang back to life, deflecting the blade with his hoof, sending it to the side to explode. He again started working on pulling out the sword.
At that time, Black ran forward with the guitar and sweeped a solo, which caused pellets of energy to shoot at Belial.
Rep: (Practically done with the quantum tunnel, but deciding to do a little more, by narrowing the exit point, and focusing a wave of energy through the tunnel and letting it bounce back through the tunnel, he could form a general schematic of the scene in the bar, rough outlines only though, by looking at the amount and wavelengths of the energy that bounced back)
"Are you certain you can do this?" Celestia asked Nightshade. Nightshade nodded. "As long as Discord can hold the lens steady," she answered. The three of them floated around a massive magnifying glass, nearly the size of Ponyville, that Discord had created. "Very well," the princess said with a nod. "Whenever you are ready."
Yanking the sword fully out, Belial tried to charge Silver, but was stopped and stunned by an electricity bomb from Maya. Before he could recover, Azrael, beyond enraged, grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the ground, the dark aura surrounding him seeping into the white pony's body. "You were my brother!" Azrael shouted, applying pressure to his throat. "You were my *squee!*ing brother! I could have helped you, you son of a *squee!*! But you chose revenge!" Belial attempted to levitate his own sword and impale Azrael, but a lightning bolt came from Az's horn and reduced it to molten metal. He tried another attack, swinging for Az's face, but it was countered again as Az crushed his hoof with his magic, causing Belial to let out a scream of pain. "You slaughtered Raven's parents," Azrael hissed. "You tried to kill her... You tried to kill me... You killed Cain."
Rep: (finishing the tunnel and saving an entire copy of the bar by wrapping the bar with the tunnel and then recording its entire molecular structure and quantum signature, before wrapping the paintings in a nigh indestructible shell of his aura. After this was done, he went to the battle and made a fist and walloped Belial upside the head.) Next time, if you ever get a next time, don't be an idiot. *Edmond had since taken his sword and cut a wormhole to the warships in the North, arriving there with his swords built-in energy reserve nearly empty.*
Azrael ripped Belial's throat open and backed away. Having sucked up half of his power, Az could sense what was happening above. An ironic execution would be the best kind. Belial lied there, writhing, blood bubbling from the wound, gurgling and trying to focus his healing magic on his throat hole. He couldn't figure out why his power was suddenly weakened.
"Let us end this," Silver spat. He grabbed a barstool and snapped one of the legs off, creating a crude wooden spear. With one swift motion, he thrust the spear through Belial's side, pinning him to the ground. A short message from Nightshade, through her comm crystal, had let him know what she was planning. He looked directly up, and mouthed the word "Now." ****************************************************************************************** Nightshade, her eyes glowing as she augmented them to watch the battle far below, read her father's lips. "Princess. Now." Using her own chaos magic, and her augmented vision, she adjusted the lens to focus on Belial. She was among the best marksmares in Equestria. She wouldn't miss. ****************************************************************************************** The entire planet went dark asPrincess Celestia focused the sun's rays into a small, concentrated beam. Of course, the beam was still nearly a mile wide, but that was what Discord's lens was for. She aimed the beam at the lens, and waited. ********************************************************************************** "Everypony, please stand back," Silver said. "Thirty seconds."
"This isn't gonna be pretty," Maya said quietly as everypony backed up. Azrael turned and walked away, not even looking back. "Rest in peace? No. Burn in hell." Belial struggled, trying to remove the wooden spike from his body, bleeding faster as his blood pressure rose.
