This hurt him slightly. He skidded to a halt just past Stuffy, and quickly attempted to buck her. Maya was screamed in pain as she was pierced through the abdomen by a tentacle. Laughter surrounded Asmo. Maya was thrown back at Dusty, who hastily healed her with his magic. She sprang to her hooves once more. The pain of being betrayed so long ago had gotten to her, along with a drive to do anything necessary to stop these monsters. The impossible had happened: Maya was angry.
Stuffy winced, then grabbed his back leg. She made a crystal sword in one paw, and shot her new weapon at him.
Dusty quickly put up a protection spell around Dead Pony, and the sword simply shattered on contact. Asmo raised his entire reserve of tentacles in an attempt to kill Maya, but she hit them with a large ice bomb, then proceded to charge through, shattering them. He attempted is fear gaze, but it was ineffective. She tackled Asmo and began furiously beating his face in with her forehoof.
Stuffy swiftly ducked under and escaped the dead pony. She tackled Maya, and stealthily formed sharp crystal claws on her front paws, hoping to stab her.
Maya noticed this and swiftly bucked Stuffy off of her. Dead Pony and Dusty were approaching Asmo, who was barely conscious at this point. Dusty was carrying that urn is his magic.
Dusty started sucking some kind of energy from Asmo and storing it in the urn, but this was interrupted when Asmo came to and kicked him in the jaw, knocking him down. He got to his hooves and began a process with Dead Pony that involved both successfully blocking each other's attacks. Maya dove at Stuffy, hoping to tackle her.
Stuffy gave a surprised face, and quickly ducked. She rose a paw, hoping to claw her while she jumped overhead.
This cut her slightly, but it didn't seem to do much. She landed on her hooves and spun around to face Stuffy. She practically growled, "You're gonna need to try harder than that, dude..."
"It's about time somepony shut you up… dude." Maya quickly tried to hoof-punch Stuffy in the throat.
Stuffy flew back and coughed. "Nice one." She choked out. She swiftly turned and went to tackle Dusty.
Maya took Stuffy to the ground and put her in a sleeper hold. Dusty got back up, face bleeding. Asmo and Dead Pony had fought each other to a standstill, both barely able to move. Dusty wasted to time picking the urn back up and taking more of that essence from Asmo.
Maya winced, tossed Stuffy off, rolled away and stood up. Asmo had the look of sanity return to his eyes. He sat down in shock. "Sweet Celestia, what have I done..?"
Stuffy was laying on the ground, wincing. Blood escaped her mouth and nose, while you could hear her whimpering lightly.
Maya and Dusty approached her. "She requires a more intimate approach," said Dusty. He began attempting to infiltrate her mind.
