My Little Aardvark by JacobLOL

Chapter 7

Daybreaker had returned to her castle, only to find Exetior sitting on her throne. "Welcome home, Celestia! Hahaha!!" Exetior bellowed. Daybreaker's horn lit up. She was in no mood to play with Exetior "You have two seconds to leave this castle..." Daybreaker ordered. "Ah-ah-ah, I think I'll stick around." Exetior rose from the throne and started down Daybreaker. He would start to dance around her, waving his hands like he was conducting a choir. Daybreaker chuckled at Exetior. "What a waste of energy... Heheh... Holy me... This, ahhh you're wasting my time... I'd kill you, but Ahhh, why should I? I just pity you, to be honest. You're nothing, nobody... Just a foul demon trying to shuffle through traffic... But you did put a smile on my face... Tell you what, I won't kill you as long as you leave within two minutes, alright? Now go. You'd do well as my future jester..." Daybreaker chuckled again, before smiling. "HAHAHAHA! Oh would I??? Well, it's a good thing I'm a god otherwise we'd be in a reeeeaaaaallll pickle!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!" Exetior bellowed. Daybreaker then stared into Exetior. "Y'know, if you let me play my little game... If you let me fulfill my duty and destiny... I'm sure I can find something for you..." Daybreaker hissed. Exetior began to float. "Ahh yes, how foolish of me to forget! Us gods do love our games of life and death now don't we? HAHAHAHAAAA! I know that game better than anyone! In fact I revolutionized it... But you seem to think you get to be the seeker, but oh sweet Celestia... You see, that's where this time, you're actually wrong... You already had a go. This is a circle system, it's my turn now and it's only for fairness... Besides, I have a set of rules remember? And if I recall correctly..." Exetior slowly floated towards Daybreaker. "If anyone's defeating The Phantom Thieves, IT SHALL BE ME!!" Exetior bellowed, getting into Daybreaker's face. Daybreaker didn't appreciate Exetior getting in her face like this and pinned him down, whereas outside the royal guards could be seen being flung across the hallway.

Suddenly, a smile beamed across Exetior's face. "Looks like my work here is done..." Exetior snapped his fingers and teleported out of Daybreaker's clutches. Then the door flung open and there stood The Phantom Thieves. Daybreaker turned to them, in utter disbelief. "He let them in!!" Daybreaker gasped. "I can't believe his idea actually worked..." Morgana muttered. "SO, CAT! WE MEET AGAIN!!" Daybreaker bellowed. Morgana drew his sword. "Indeed we do, for god's sake." Morgana replied. "Very clever using your worst enemy as BAIT for you to sneak inside!" Daybreaker admitted. "Regardless on how we got in, we're here..." Panther replied. "I can see that, Captain Obvious..." Daybreaker mumbled.

Daybreaker looked to the right and saw Arthur standing with The Phantom Thieves. "Of course, what a suprise..." Daybreaker mumbled, before she smirked. Arthur looked to the floor, unsure how to reply. Daybreaker paced back and forth, ready to attack. "So, you all oppose my order?" Daybreaker asked. "Your order isn't anything the Princess would've wanted." Morgana replied. Daybreaker stopped in her tracks. "Oh really? How would YOU know that, Mona?" Daybreaker asked, grinning. Morgana held up Celestia's diary, while grinning. Leaving Daybreaker in shock. "Y-Y-You read MY DIARY?!! WHEN?!" Daybreaker screamed. "About five minutes ago, when you were to busy praising yourself. You seem to know everything about each of us... Maybe it's time we learnt everything about YOU, Day-traitor!!" Morgana replied. Daybreaker growled at the sight of the diary. "You knew enough from Luna, you little PEST!!" Daybreaker yelled. "Well, that's your opinion... You see, given how Celestia is talking about you in this. I don't think she likes your desires very much."

Panther then got an idea. It was risky as anything, but if it worked in the movies. It'll work here. "Princess Celestia... Are you still in there?" Panther asked, taking a couple of steps forward. "P-Panther?!! What are you doing?!!" Morgana hissed. "Doing what we're supposed to do..." Panther replied. Panther turned to Daybreaker, who'd taken a couple of steps back. "Princess Celestia, can you hear me? Are you still in there?" Panther asked. Daybreaker took deep breaths through her nostrils. Then she collapsed, screaming in agony. As the sweat poured, Daybreaker gritted her teeth. Daybreaker shut her eyes tight still screaming. "P-P-Panther!?" The Alicorn gasped out. The Alicorn opened her eyes to reveal Pink eyes! Celestia was back! "Celestia!!" Panther yelled in excitement. "Holy crap, are you part of her fan club, or something?" Morgana asked. "Mona!! I'm trying to fix an issue here!!" Panther snapped back. "Princess Celestia?!" A voice shouted. It was Twilight who had come speeding in. "You're back?!!" Twilight asked. "Barely, my student..." Celestia groaned, still fighting with Daybreaker. "She's fighting back! Quickly... Y-you don't have much time!! Twilight warn anyone you can to stay away from the castle.. Arghh!! Get the Elements of Harmony, so you're ready!! Panther, get your team together as backup... ARRGGHHHH!!" Celestia groaned "You don't command The Phantom Thieves, I do!!!" Morgana yelled back. "MONA!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME!!!" Panther screamed back. "Quickly, go!! Get Cadence, Luna and Shining Armour out of the castle... I can't fight her... For much... Longer!!"Celestia screamed in pain, as she curled up into a ball.
