Chapter 3: For Equestria, Until The End

Warning sirens were screaming and all soldiers lined up in formation just outside the Crystal Empire at the big plain field that covered the land between the empire and the crystal mountains.

Civilians are running to the train station to be evacuated while the battle takes place.

The Equestrian army stands in the lines of thousands, unicorns in the front and earth ponies in the second row, the pegasi ponies flying above them. Dark clouds starts to form in the distance and the earth begins to shake. The changelings comes forth from the mountains and lines up at the other side of their fielld and infront of the changelings stands their queen, Chrysalis.

The sky is dark and the air is cold. The Equestrian army looks worried and some of the soldiers begins to feel doubt. But then Celestia flies up into the air and casts a powerful spell that clears the sky from clouds and makes the sun shine brighter then ever before. The warmth of the sun comes down upon the backs of the Equestrian soldiers and their spark reignites.

Celestia comes down to the ground infront of the Equestrian army and tell them to not fear and not give in to despair, the fate of Equestria is uncertain, but remember who you are fighting for, if we lose this battle Equestria will fall into darkness.

The changeling army begins to charge.

King Sombra orders the unicorns to fire at the changelings with their magic, the sky lights up with bolts of purple fire, flying towards the endless army of the changelings. Then, Sombra and the Equestrian army yells ''For Equestria!'' and begins to charge towards the enemy.

Just before the two armies clash, Celestia gathers all her strength and causes the sun to shine so bright that it causes the golden armor of the Equestrian soldiers to shine so bright that it blinds the enemy when they collide. The crystal lances easily penetrates the changelings armor. The pegasi ponies in the sky begins to dive into the heart of the changelings army from the sky, creating a shockwave that causes all the enemys around them to fall over upon impact.

While superior in tactics skills and equipment the ponies were outnumbered and they all had to be an army of their own.
The battle continues with massive loses on the changeling side, but they are still pouring out from the edges of the mountain.

The ponies begins to fall and are overrun by the massive amount of changelings.

King Sombra is on the battlefield and sees how his pony brothers and sisters are falling by his side. Sombra drops his ruby red crystal swords and looks down at the ground as tears fills his eyes, Sombra quietly whispers ''no..'' purple and green clouds are forming around his horn and he screams as he gets up and causes massive black crystals to come forth from the ground, implaing all changelings around him.

The ponies around are shocked at what happend but are allowed to brethe before the next swarm of changelings come.

King Sombra is filled with anger and hatred and goes across the battlefield and seeks out queen Chrysalis, the half of his horn is glowing red from the spell he performed, he turns to Chrysalis and starts to channel another spell and smiles at Chrysalis as he fires a black beam towards her.

The changelings are confused and their morale breaks and they start to panic over the death of their queen and begins to retreat back into the mountains where they would eventualy starve, but they didnt dare to keep on fighting, for they are lost without their leader.

The ponies of Equestria had defeated the last major threat against Equestria, but at a huge cost the number of dead were beyond their imagination, and it was not a victory to be celebrated.

Celestia walks across the desolate field seeing only death around her, she looks to her left and sees Sombra collapsed at the ground, she runs over to him and holds him in her arms and begins to cry.

The spell that king Sombra used had teared his untainted soul apart, causing him to die for his actions.

Sombra sacrificed himself that day so that the rest of Equestria could be free once and for all. Sombra and the other ponies who had fallen would be forever remembered as ''Equestrias finest''
