Once more, a myriad of attacks with various energetic signatures was unleashed by the mysterious entity. By the heavens and stars!
Icetales managed to destroy the rocks headed his way, but his eyes widened in horror when he saw a metallic cannon ball headed in his way. He shut his eyes and braced for impact, refusing to move from his spot. Refusing to leave Cynthian’s side.
He was utterly flattened when the steel sphere demolished his barrier and crushed him under its weight, shattering the ground underneath. The pixie dust vanished in a thin mist, while Icetales gasped in pain.
Then, blades of poison slashed him across his chest, and he winced when he felt the venom coursing through his veins. Lastly, two fists charged with metallic energy flew at him, bringing him down for good.
“Nggh…” He forced out a small smile.
“It seems thou… managed to throw the cosmos off of balance…”
Icetales stumbled on the floor, panting in exhaustion. The golden gusts and blue nebulas were mere flickers, and he coughed out some violet snowflakes.
“Not… not swell…”
"Icetales, it's just you and me again huh? Fate has a funny way of keeping us together," Cynthian said as she pressed against him to push him back on his paws.
"Let's put on a good show, shall we?"
“Fate is… painful,” he muttered, giving a small nuzzle in appreciation.
“But… yes. The… The show must go on…”
Icetales raised his tails upward, summoning his Heal Bell one more time. He smiled when he felt the soothing energy clear away his poisoning, before turning to Cynthian.
“It is up to thee now…”
Radiance and Shadow filled Icetales’s entire body, before he filled Cynthian with a mixture of both powers. The glowing wraith faded into her bouquets, giving them a dark golden sheen and making her petals look sharper.
“No matter what happens to me, I want thee to keep forward,” he shot a determined stare.
“For Miss Vix, and for yours truly.”
He distanced himself from the Roserade, then turned toward Sunny — radiating pure Blacklight, which made him look like he came out of a monochrome movie. Then, he took off running toward the Blissey, his black hole overtaking him entirely and making the fox look like a quasar.
“Behold the true power of the cosmos!”
And with those words, he let out all his stored power at his opponent, bursting like a neutron star.
