The two continued staying in position til Kyle let out a battle cry charging at Shining Armor. He did the same til their swords clashed. Then broke out a sword fight as the two were using them to attack. They kept countering each other while sometimes they would get a few lucky hits on them. This sword duel lasted for a long hour til Kyle broke Shining's sword in 2.
"Okay. Not bad for your sword skills. Now let's see if you can survive magic. Cadence." Shining Armor said.
She blasted some magic quickly and stayed in focus on the barrier. The beam was coming at Kyle but he conjured a shield around himself and dodged the beam.
"Wow. Nice move." Shining Armor said.
"Thanks. Now lemme show you one of my moves." Kyle said.
He conjured some purple lightning and threw it at Shining. But everytime he did Shining would dodge it. Considering it was a training battle Kyle knew that he doesn't want to hurt Shining Armor. Besides Twilight would be pissed if he did.
"Ok you can shoot purple lightning. Nice one. Any other moves you have?" Shining Armor said.
"I don't know. Let's see." Kyle said.
He saw a crystal and had an idea. He zapped it causing it to morph into a beast. The transformation was complete and the crystal beast was ready to attack.
"Crystal Beast! Get him!!" Kyle said.
The beast obeyed his command and ran towards Shining Armor. He dodged it's punches as well as it's stomps. Then Shining took another sword and dodged more of his attacks. Another hour passed and the crystal beast couldn't keep up anymore and fell down in pieces.
"So you can summon crystal like beasts?" Shining Armor said.
"Looks like it. I actually have a crystal servant looking for some gems so I can summon an army to stop Sombra." Kyle said.
"Smart thinking. Now try using that medallion on your neck." Shining Armor said.
"Sure thing. But don't mess with the bull or you'll get the horns." Kyle said.
The medallion glowed and purple lightning sparked around him. Doing that transformed him into a rampaging bull. He let out an angry bull roar and charged at Shining Armor. He dodged every time Kyle got closer to him. 2 hours went by and they decided to take a break.
"Ok im tired. How about you Kyle?" Shining Armor said.
"Whew! Yeah man. Let's just rest for a bit. We don't wanna tire ourselves out before we face Sombra." Kyle said.
"Good idea. Though I can't fight without my sword." Shining Armor said.
"No worries. I'll fix that." Kyle said as he conjured some purple lightning and got some crystals and used them to upgrade Shining's sword. He finished it and gave it to him.
"Wow. It looks better than before!" Shining Armor said.
"I knew you like it." Kyle said.
Then after he said that the Crystaling came in with a sack he was carrying and headed to Kyle.
"Uh Kyle? Who is that?" Shining Armor said.
"Don't worry. That's my servant. He won't harm you. So bud. You got something for me?" Kyle said.
"Yes Master. The gems you asked for are right here." The Crystaling said.
"Excellent. Now we can raise some more buddies to help us stop Sombra." Kyle said as he opened the sack.
He took out the gems that the Crystaling got and placed them on the ground. Then backing up he conjured some purple lightning and threw at them. Once they all got shock the energy went into them and glowed.
"Rise my shining warriors! Rise and serve your new master!!" Kyle said.
Then the gems began transforming and they grew bigger to the size of him. They got out some arms and legs and a purple jewel with a lightning bolt symbol one appeared on their foreheads. The transformations were complete and they were ready to serve.
"The Crystal Warriors are ready to serve you!!" They said.
"Wonderful. Now from this day forward you will be know as the Crystal Warriors. But your solo names are Raging Ruby, Sparkle Sapphire, Diamond Surfer, and Emerald Shine. Now we will serve Cadence and Shining Armor in helping them defeat an evil king named Sombra." Kyle said.
"There will be nothing to stop your flawless, unparalleled victory Master!" Diamond Surfer.
"Ahh glad to hear that. Now I want you guys to keep a lookout on Twilight and her friends to see if they got the information that they need. We must find another way to help us stop Sombra. Kyle said.
"Yes Master. Consider the job done." Sparkle Sapphire said.
The Crystal Warriors all looked out the window to see where Twilight is and hope that they can help her.
"Ok. Bringing in some more Crystal Warriors to help me and Cadence. Nice." Shining Armor said.
"Thanks. Now let's go Crystaling. We gotta check on the progress that Twilight's making." Kyle said.
"Yes Master." The Crystaling said.
Then the two walked out of the Crystal Empire and headed off to find Twilight and her friends to see if they got anywhere closer for another way to save their beloved kingdom.
