A few moments before the massive figure appeared in the garden, meanwhile, in an unknown place atop the tower—
PRRPUFFFFFF!!!!
"PRINCESSSSSS!!" Celestia shrieked in sheer horror as her wide, terrified eyes took in the gruesome sight before her. The monstrous hooded figure had just crushed Aqualina's head in its enormous palm—like it was nothing more than a fragile fruit bursting under pressure!
Water splattered everywh... Wait Water?
Celestia gasped, her crushed abdomen radiating unbearable agony. She tried to move, but her body refused to obey, her limbs paralyzed by pain. But then—
"Easy now."
The voice was eerily familiar. Forcing her head to turn, her stunned gaze landed on—
Aqualina?!
"Huh?!" Celestia's eyes darted back to the monstrous figure, whose giant, dripping hand held nothing but water. The Aqualina it had just killed... was nothing but water!!
Splash...!
