My Little Destroyah: Total Annihilation

Ch 08

The Mothership was now hovering directly over the grand city of Canterlot. Troops began to move out imediatly. They descended in small pods. Each brandished a weapon and each wearing the trademark Xillian black and silver suit with the almost rediculiosly large neckband. Ponies would have fallen over laughing if they wherent being shot down like flies. As soon as the city was under attack the Xillians launched two more monsters. One of them slid his scythe-like hands over each other creating sparks. Gigan the cyclops cyborg flared his wierd, red, triple wings creating a psycologically tormenting contrast with his black hide. Gigan screetched and began to blast down buildings. The other monster was grey and hunched over. He flexed his oversized hands and maw dripping green venom. Orga sweped his hand to the right and tore a few buildings clean out of the ground.

The monsters at the base of the mountain saw what was going on and began to fly up to help. Leo grabbed the back of Godzilla's head and Battra grabbed his tail helping to lift the kaiju king. Destroyah flew under his own power as well as Kiryu. Destroyah made a beline straight toward the palace that was now under seige. He dissolved into red mist and soon enough a pony-morph and an army of enraged crablets where in the castle. Destroyah met up with Luna and the rest of the UNKCC. Luna called them to attention.

"The castle has already been breached. Chrysalis and Sombra you take the farmost left wall. Twilight take the right. Discord retake the outer wall. Destroyah clear out the castle. I will stem the flow and cut off the entrance."

Everyone nodded in agreement before going to their respective positions. All of their attentions where drawn to the main door that was being smashed against. All stood behind the army of aggregates that hissed and flailed waiting to kill and tear. The doors smashed open and the army of crablets smashed into the army of Xillians and blood flew. Screams of horror and terror rose as well as organ bits and blood. Bodies hit the floor with loud squeltchs and weapons fell with a clack. As soon as they where out Sombra and Chrysalis split up from the group and headed towards the librairy and office area. It that weant down the entire economy would colapse. Xillians rushed to greet them. Sombra merely summoned his dark magic and black crystals erupted from the ground impailing them all. Chrysalis stopped to look at the impaled victims as blood slowly leaked down the midnight crystals. One would argue that Sombra was simply the pony version of SpaceGodzilla. The shadow king looked back. To see Chrysalis looking over the victims for a moment.

"They arent dead."

Sombra smiled a wicked grin. "Thats the idea behind a proper impaling Chrissy."

The changeling queen scowled at her pet name but followed as the shadow king ran along. Meanwhile the crablets began stabbing, cutting, biting, and melting their way through the crouds. As the Xillians where pushed further back Twilight split from the group. She ran to the weapons depot. More Xillians came at her. The sun princess' mind went blank for a moment before she acted on instinct. A blinding white flash emited from her horn and the blazing white magic flew slicing through the hall of enemies. Bodies fell and Twilight nearly hurled but she pressed forward.

Further down the line Destroyah and the crablets spread out into the darkest reaches of the castle leaving Luna and Discord to push to the entrance. Luna was far from helpless. She grinned as she drew a long thin katana. While she was an expert in magic she much rather preffered to feel an actual blade stab into her enemies. She was a navy blue vortex of death. Blood spattered the hallway as the blade flew. She was even able to deflect projectiles with the metal.

As Luna took the attention Discord slipped out unoticed. He was out on the castle walls watching as enemies turned their attention to the ancient draconequus. The spirit of chaos grinned and snapped his fingers. In his hand a baseball bat with large nails pushed through the fat end appeared. Discord gave a few practice swings.

"Batter up!"

Back in the castle Sombra and Chrysalis where using their illusionairy magic to the fullest. The room was a haze of purple, black, and green streaks of color. The room itself seemed to shift and warp every few seconds. Not only was the enemy confused but Chrysalis was outright playing with their heads. As she stood in the dead center of the room the small army readied their weapons. One soilder shot at her and her form splattered black ooze sliding to the ground. Where the Queen fell hooves pitted with holes began to rise. Changelings rose from the muck. The changelings themselves where but mere illusions but the Xillians didnt know that. They shot at the changelings while Chrysalis and Sombra slaughtered them from the shadows. Occasionally Sombra would cause black crystals to erupt from the ground and impale more Xillians. Chrysalis would drive her twisted horn into an enemy's skull and enjoy as her curvy horn ripped brain matter and muscle clean out of the skull. Sombra appeared behind one panicing Xillian and cupped one hoof under his chin and one on the back of his head and twisted hard. His neck broke with a sound that was similar to many breaking eggshells. Sombra shifted his form to his black gas state and began to choke several more Xillians. They where at the mercy of the psycotic king and queen and could do nothing about it. When the slaughter was done the illusion slipped away and the room just before the library was coated in blood and dead bodies. After a few minutes a few crablets who caught the scent would crawl up and feast.

While Sombra and Chrysalis killed Twilight was having some problems of her own. She was less inclined to do so and only knocked enemies out with paralyzing and blinding spells. But it worked just as effectively. While Sombra and Chrysalis took their time toying with their prey Twilight was attemting to take them down at a more rapid pace. And surprisingly it was working. The mare had more power stored in her body than she let on. Enemies fell unable to see or move. Any who could return fire on her had their projectiles knocked away with a rather powerful shield. The power of an alicorn was not to be trifled with. Twilight rapped up quickly leaving Xillins stumbling around or on the ground foaming at the mouth. And as with Chrysalis and Sombra a few crablets began to reap the rewards by eating the alien beings. Twilight was rather revolted and turned away from the feast.

Luna at the castle entrance was having the time of her life. Her blade danced across flesh and blood pured into the stone floors. She was a cyclone of death. But the sheer numbers of it all where getting to be a bit much. She had to deal with the entrance meaning she didnt see a break in the wave of enemies. So she formed an idea. Luna came to a stop her blade dripping with blood. Enemies surrounded her and aimed their weapons. One Xillian shot at her and the alicorn exploded but not in the way one would expect. Her from exploded into a murder of crows. Each one cawed loudly and the room turned pitch black. Red tinged the black giving it a haunted color. Then something truly frightened the battle hardened Xillian warriors. Along the walls and floor and even the ceiling eyes began to open up. All there blood red and slitted and even a few bled for effect. The murder of crows began to condence into a blue flame. A cone of darkness exploded outward and when it cleared Nightmare Moon stood ominiously. She stood on her hind hooves her wings splayed out. Resting on the back of her neck was the shaft of a scythe and her fore-hooves rested on that. The blade itself had many curves and resembled the wing of a bat. The blade emerged from the back of a skull. The shaft of the scythe itself was a spinal column. Nightmare suddently clutched her scythe and swung diagonally up. A warrior was cleaved in half blood spurting everywhere and organs sliding out of the dead man. Black energies crackled off of Nightmare's horn blasting a multitude of enemies. As she blasted she swung her scythe like a madmare. Blood spattered and charred bodies fell. No one could touch her. The great hall was stained red and the red eyes watched wordlessly. Nightmare's illusions rattled the warriors and her speed and power frightened them. Once the last body hit the floor with a squeltch Nightmare released a throaty cackle. This was the most fun she had in years!

Oh saying Discord was having fun would be the biggest understatement of the year. He was in bliss as he drove te spiked end of the bat into someone's cheek and yanked back with vicious satisfaction. The draconequus was having a grand old time as he swung shattering bones and tearing flesh. Discord swung again and this time his weapon was a golf club. The iron smashed into an enemy's temple. The bone shattered and he went plumeting off the side of the castle wall. The draconequus cackled and bit into someone's neck ripping out the flesh and leaving him to gargle his own blood till he suffocated or bled out, whichever came first. Discord grabbed someone else by the throat and began to shove a fistfull of scorpions into his mouth. The wriggling insects didnt sting their master but the moment they left his hand they crawled down their victim's throat stinging all the way. The Xillian choked on the insects as poison took its toll. Discord reached into someone else's chest and ripped the rib cadge wide open. Blood spilled out and organs sloshed out and hit the ground with a wet smack. The demonic draconequus was in hysterics when he snapped his fingers. A few Xillins fell to the ground their bones now made of jell-o. Discord brought his clawed foot down and the upper torso of one Xillian simply exploded, blood, organs, and other fluids sliding over the stone floor. Discord brought his cloven hoof down and crushed the skull of another enemy blood and brain matter spreading across the floor. Discord cackled and snapped his fingers again. Every Xillian there cried out in horrible pain. It soon became apparent as ink leaked out of every crevice and pore on their body. Ink rolled out from under their eyes and dribbled out of their mouths. Their very blood had been replaced by ink and they felt like their entire bodies had been lit on fire from the inside. Discord was on the ground in a huge laughing fit.

Deep in the canterlot crystal caves Destroyah hunted for the last remaining Xillians. The small group was looking around nerviously. It was understandable considering who they faced. Destroyah released a low rumble as he lazily blinked. He would enjoy this but he wanted to take his time and drag out the pain of his foes. The crablets moved sluggeshly through the caves its claws slowly clicking on the surface. Destroyah knew it wasnt constant movement that scared enemies but occasional unseen movement. The demon would even go as far as to show a small piece of itself in the reflective surface of the crystals in the cave. Yes his prey where pretty much wetting themselves at this point. Soon the crablet made it to the top of a ridge. As he peered down a crystal cast his reflection right in front of the group. Freaking out they fired on the crystal shattering it. But one of the group realized the crystal was tilted back. He whipped around to look where the aggregate was but couldnt say mush as his form was crushed by the flailing spiked limbs of the falling aggregate. As the aggregate landed he gripped one Xillian in his tail and threw him into another group member and at the same time impaled another with his spiked back limbs. The crablet screetched and other aggregates broke out of the ground and began attacking and devouring the living group members. Blood spattered the crystals and the cave was stained red. The aggregates regrouped after the slaughter. Now they wanted to get aboard that ship for they aquired a taste for Xillian blood.
