Three Blasts.
One to catch him off guard.
One to Disarm.
One to bury him into the concrete
Cadance's magic went out in pulses as waves of energy reverberated through the city.
There were many types of magic.
Mentalism.
Arcane.
Elemental.
Were just some of the many forms of magic with classifications. Such as the Diviner, one who can magically gathers information, often determining the future, using any method or a seer who has the ability to see the future and make prophecies.
In terms of magic Celestia and Luna were multi-talented being Theurgists, Summoners, and conjurers with Luna being more talented in Alchemy and Celestia more of an enchanter, but while being fairly talented in white and black arts Cadance never found her stride until she became an embodiment of love invoking her talents in channeling.
The ability to channel allowed her to draw upon the power of a universal aspect, something far more powerful than any common emotion. Joy and Sadness. Fear and Courage. Such emotions like those while powerful could never be enough to carry a realm which exists as personifications of universal aspects given birth and it was that power flowing through Cadance that was repulsing everything that was an enemy. Only those who had the capacity for love in their hearts could resist it.
And that revelation brought a sense of sadness and pity within Cadance as she saw Sombra resisting the waves of her magic with all his might. The hatred and despair in his heart being the only driving force driving him at the lost of his only light.
"Sombra! This is where it ends!" Cadance raises her arm and aims with her open palm. Too much pain and suffering had occurred. Sombra was simply too powerful and dangerous to be allowed to be left alive if he couldn't be convinced to repent. As she prepared to finish off the dark unicorn she noticed a crack appeared in his horn.
A resigned chuckle escaped from Sombra's lips as his aura began to leak out and surge at an alarming rate. "You're right Princess," he mocked. "This is the end of everything. If this is to be the end THEN I'LL TAKE THIS ACCURSED WORLD WITH ME!" He gave one last declaration of defiance as he sacrificed his body and magic to activate his final gambit.
Flaring up all her magical power Cadance was just barely able to contain the blast from reaching out behind her as the power shot into the sky, evaporating the clouds for a clear mile as the magical energy surged into space.
Instantaneously her senses went into overdrive as she felt danger unlike anything she experienced before. She looked up into the sky as the swell of Sombra's suppressing energy soon faded as a massive shadow swelled the sky for countless miles. "Oh my Faust!" She thought in horror at the massive object that filled the sky.
"Cadance!"
"Princess!"
"Cady!"
The voices felt so faint and distant she had barely realized anypony had arrived until she sensed the familiar warmth of her husband and felt his hand on her shoulder. " Shiny!" Looking around she saw the others. Twilight. Her friends. Celestia and Luna. Remnants of the army as well.
"By the creator! How do we stop...that!?" Shining Armor wondered aloud.
As the meteor began its slow descent the ground began shaking. The flaming ball of death was slowly blocking out any view of the sky. This would not go unseen throughout the rest of the world and would cost so much panic.
Citizens trying to escape their towns and cities to wherever they think is safe.
"With all of our combined might we must destroy the meteor. If even a chunk remains catastrophic damage could occur." Celestia remarked as she looked to all those before her.
"Everypony. Together. Go and find all those who still have magical power left. We have only one shot at this." Cadance urged to crystal empire soldiers. They were going to need every able body Unicorn they could find. Cadance's earlier waves of magic had repelled most of the enemies, but no telling if they would regather what remained of their forces to launch a counter attack.
It felt like an eternity passed until they returned with forty able bodied unicorns who still had their magic. They were all aligned in a circle outside surrounding the princesses and Twilight who stood center. With all their might the Equestrians fired and magic of various hues exploded from the area in a massive. it was quickly becoming apparent that it wasn't enough when the massive barrier of prismatic warped and bent under the power of Meteor, and soon the underside of the blast turned red in the center, which soon split to reveal that the Meteor was pushing through.
"I failed my duty to this world once because of my own ego, never again."
"I will not allow myself to fail them. The bonds I made with everypony for their sake I push on!"
"I will not allow everypony's love and hopes be crushed!"
Hues of magic erupted from Luna, Cadance, and Twilight. The hues of their magic converged where the attack was meeting with the Meteor and halt it in place.
But it was not enough. As focused as she was Celestia took notice that they were merely forming cracks in the meteor and not exerting enough power to destroy it. 'Its not enough...we expanded far too much magic in the previous battle...and I...I am still far too weak.' Even if they managed to damage and break apart the giant object the ensuing fragments would cause untold damage in forms of tsunamis and earthquakes that would cause near irreparable harm across the globe.
'Luna,' Celestia mentally called out to her sister. 'I fear we might not destroy enough of the meteor in time. There is only one thing I can think to do. I have to get to the center point and cast a powerful enough spell to weaken the meteor more.'
'Sister what spell could you possibly...no...in your condition if you get caught in the spell you could end up crippled and invalid or possibly even die. Such a plan is foolish. If need be I can...'
'No...You along with Twilight and Cadance are needed to keep repelling the meteor. Lulu, have fate in me. I can do this.'
'Come back alive to me Cele, or I'll never forgive you.'
With that Celestia had disappeared with teleportation. The momentarily confusion and concerned were disrupted by Luna's orders to keep on focusing on attacking the meteor.
Appearing alongside the mass Celestia began channeling her power. Every ounce of her magic began to surge through her horn.
If not for her own affinity to the sun the heat coming off the massive rock would have began burning her fur and skin to crisp.
For the sake of Everypony. She began channeling every ounce of her magic.

"Spike! SPIKE!"
The call of his name from Sweetie Belle jarred the dragon out of his thoughts. Turning back to the crusader quartet. They were among the contingent of retreating citizens that were being directed to the shelters. Dealing with attacking Changelings had been rather trivial for the teenage dragon, but the impending danger of the falling meteor was causing more panic and dread than any invasion.
"Ya won't to go don't ya?" Applebloom could read it in Spike's face. When the assault from the changelings intensified on the civilians Spike had made it his foremost mission to look after and keep the crusaders safe and when it looked like things were calming down the Umbras had attacked and now this giant meteor was threatening to wipe out everything.
"We'll be okay Spike. If they come after us I'll kick their flanks!" Scootaloo proclaimed with a boast.
"Spike, if there are others that need your help, please help them." Nyx pleaded with him.
Spike looked to the sky when he saw magical beams being launched and hitting the meteor. He looked on in awe and hope that the object would be destroyed, but it seemed like ,magic and objects were at a stalemate. It was with that Spike finally made a decision. He turned back to the crusaders. "Make sure you four listen to the guards and keep each other safe. If anything happened to you four it'll be my hide." With that he took to the skies as he began putting distance between himself and the others. From deep within Spike began channeling his energy as it slowly coursed upwards through his sternum and gathered in his mouth. And with one mighty exhale lightning exploded from his mouth and collided with the meteor.

"Ultima!"
Regarded as the ultimate black spell usage of such a spell was classified as forbidden unless authorized due to its destructive and deadly nature. Starting off as a sphere of green energy the spell would expand with hues of black, green, yellow, and purple unleashing destructive forces of pure energy that burned, ripped, crush, tear, and grind away at its target all at once vaporizing all matter whether it was organic or inorganic bypassing armors and even ripping through shields and barriers. The powerful spell had disintegrated and chipped away at a fifth of the massive sphere but that was far below what its capability should have been under the hands of the user. 'Damn him to the deepest pits of the underworld!' Celestia's fears were now confirmed. Sombra's magic had more then just summoned this monstrosity but reinforced it as well.
Would it even be possible at this point?
No, she thought, her eyes now looking firm. She wasn't going to give up. She never gave up. Not in the past did she do it, and not now in the face of impending doom and destruction. To give up now, she realized, would be betraying not only herself, but the beliefs of all those who placed their hopes into her. It would be betraying the hope of all those that came after as well. What the very nature of harmony was.
She had failed and lost Luna to the nightmare for a thousand years.
The broken blond led to Discord being free and the torment of so many.
She had let her guard down and allowed herself depowered.
And now a threat of this dark future where so many of her loved ones were doomed to die?
No.
She will not allow this to happen. The goddess of the sun. Ruler of several millennia. She had failed too many times and made too many mistakes. She refused to fail her people again. She refused to allow Sombra to get the last laugh.
"Not Again! I SHALL NOT FAIL THEM AGAIN!"
Suddenly, however, she felt something inside of her, causing her to stop there in her stance. Something that was awakening, and the persistent sense of Familiarity coursing through her.
The flames within her soul ignited into an inferno as her magic began to swell. The warm rays of the sun itself began to spread over the land dimming the chills of the frozen north. The energy from the sun itself began to pour into the Alicorn of the sun as her prismatic mane became fire.
Her lost power had returned. The Alicorn of the sun had awakened and the pressure from her magic began to overwhelm and weaken the protections of Sombra's dark magics causing more and more cracks to form on the meteor.

In her heightened state Cadance could feel the devotion and love of her aunt towards her people. The level of her determination was awe inspiring. The Emerald Heart began to radiate in tandem with its bearers will began to woven and unite the spirits of everypony present. Fueled with everyponys strength she gave one final push as she unleashed her full magical might, that blanketed the area in a bright light as it surged forward and hit the meteor full force.
When everyone could see again, they all watched in shocked silence as energy seemed to carve crevices into Meteor, until the entire ball was filled with them. All was still for a moment, before the massive ball broke up among the fissure lines. Their magic was quick to dispose of the shards now that the protective barrier had been overwhelmed resulting into the massive ball being disintegrated And just like that, where there was once Armageddon there was now simply a ruined city with a calm, clear sky. For a moment nothing happened, but when it finally clicked, everypony erupted into cheers and shouts of joy.
The Crystal Empire had been saved.
Hours had passed and the stragglers from the enemy invasion had been taken care of thanks to the awakened Alicorns. A cleanup crew had been put together and reconstruction of the city was soon on the way.
"Okay, we gotta be careful about levitating these stones out," One of the crystal ponies with construction experience was instructing some of the Solar guard unicorns was saying. "We'll have to reinforced the walls all along this area."
"It appears much progress is being made." Celestia remarked as she and Cadance were walking along the path. The two royals had been going throughout the city and surveying the damage caused as they modified the reconstruction effort whenever it was needed. "Luna has sent me word that in a few hours time a train from Canterlot will be bearing workponies, equipment, and supplies to help rebuilding..."
Not too far away she could see multiple unicorns user their magic to help reassemble destroyed buildings. From reconstructing walls to reassembling windows. Further in she could see Twilight and Rarity through power and calculation followed by precision and speed respectively help repaired entire buildings under the direction of crystal ponies who were either the tenant or owners of the buildings. "I suppose at this rate only the single contingent will be necessary."

"The marvelous architecture of these structures never fail to amaze me." Rarity remarked as another building was being worked on. While the building were being pieced back together there was still the matter of mess of furniture and other items inside the homes that had to be collected and cleaned up.
"You and the crystals. You had a choice this vast I bet you'd still be stuck in the redecorating phase." Rainbow Dash dropped down with a yawn and stretch.
"Why hello to you too Dashie. Done ferreting supplies already?"
"Yeah finally, you think I was a mailmare with the way they were running me." Despite the complaints Rainbow continued to assist.
A week had passed when all the major damage done to the empire had been repaired. The experience would be one that nopony would be forgetting anytime soon. All those Ponyville bound had gathered their things and were in the Thunder God transportation seal. Until Naruto had time to come and work on the seal more only a limited number of ponies could be transported at a time.
'Come back soon Sis!" Shining Armor said as he and Twilight broke apart from their hug. "You know what they say, third times the charm.
"I will BBBFF." She then turned to Cadance. The two enveloped each other in a bone crushing hug. Expressing their goodbye before Twilight returned to the circle with the others. More goodbyes were expressed as the circle was activated and the group finally arrived home.
Time had seemed to stop when they set their eyes upon familiar forms. They were a bit taller for one with their features a bit more defined, but the most notable traits were the vibrancy of their eyes.
Fluttershy
Applejack
Naruto.
They had returned from their trip. The family was finally reunited once more.
