Starfall Part 2 Recollection

"I am Lunaria. I am Aurora. I am magic." All hell broke loose. In that instant, the release of intense magic flooded the field, seemingly disrupting the control Ozark had on the warped beasts. The creatures would suddenly dive into attack anything living. Starting with the stallion currently face-on with Diana, ripping the stallion to bloody shreds in front of her as if he was made of paper. His screams echoed for a moment before fading away. At this same time, a force fell upon the castle, trying to break through the shields with an endless thrum. Soon enough, they'd find a way in. Inevitability is unbreaking fate. Everything was in place for a fight that would almost seem impossible. Sprouting Bulb (can't tag ;-;) may be key here, maybe. Lilith may need protection while Rosa does her job. Lord Somber had been placed in an opportune spot. With Aurora awakening from the control, he'd get to see the true magic she'd been withholding. The possibility of her releasing a blast mixed with Arcane would put fear into most ponies, even other creatures. This could be seen by the way Ozark seemed to step back from the glare of her glowing eyes. She could blast him away, surely, but it wouldn't remove the warped corruption he'd gained. That's why she turned to Ghostbit, a thin smile growing across her lips. "Do it. Use what you've been practicing. Focus on his heart, I will buy you time to charge your spell and feed you the magic you need." In that instance, the weakened web suddenly became solid again, almost heavier than gravity ought to make it feel. A huge burst of magic exploded from the center, and the Star magic within Honeymoon Crescent, Ghostbit, Diana, and even Artemis would increase to a level none could have expected. They would all gain a new ability, True Sight. Now the world seemed vivid when they needed to, the thestral of the group able to use this ability to enhance her nighttime views. Creatures that weren't natural would glow red from the center, hinting at which "ponies" were just warped copies. A dozen or so creatures approached Artemis and Honey, suddenly popping in from the aether. Slinking along the ground to move closer. Diana already had her work cut out for her, five of them leaping towards her, getting in the way of the book target...the same book Ozark was about to move towards. "You weak creatures will suffer...I will have my vengeance! I will tear you apart! First, with your witch, then when your little web breaks, all of you!"

Meanwhile, Phoenix had collected enough magic...using the secret she'd learned not long ago to power herself to a dangerous level. Her colors had become deeper red, umbral in nature, and her Phoenix Magic would reach its apex... and an explosion would fill the splitting, darkened skies! A giant phoenix would roar with a bird-like call before diving down towards the battle. She'd land with an explosion that'd push back any ponies that'd mixed in and survived the initial Warped onslaught. She slid along the ground, wings spread and slicing many of these traitors in half with her burning wings. All the while yelling some profanities that ought not be mentioned in front of kids.

Knight Wolf was one of a few remaining pieces of the puzzle, along with "Stickman, The Normal Stickian- Cyte-09" to the overall team. Will Knight attack Aurora? Try to kill the witch as she prepares to unleash her powers? And who is this new addition? What will they provide?
