Equestria's Corruption

Dennis' POV----------------------------------------------------

Dennis was walking down the streets of Ponyville. With a odd mixture of nervousness and excitement bubbling in his stomach. Today was the day he was going into the Corruption and, hopefully, get some information on how to revert it. He felt better than he had the last few days he was in Equestria. he looked at himself, smiling. Twilight had helped him by teaching him how to levitate items, and although it took him a while he was now able to maneuver his sword ease. He also had a special belt that wrapped around his flanks that could hold two health and mana potions, his sword and his boomerang for quick and easy access.

He arrived at the train station and met up with Twilight and Rainbow Dash, who were coming with him to help him research the Corruption. Twilight had wanted to go because she wanted to study the Corruption. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand... "Ha!" she laughed "You think I would miss a chance to go into a place more dangerous than the Everfree Forest?!" she said. "Okay, what part of dangerous, deadly, pants-wetting, horrifying evil, are you not getting?" Dennis asked. "What you think I cant handle it?" she asked, eyes narrowing. "Whatever," he said.

The train ride there was uneventful other than Dennis' short outbursts of information on the monsters of the Corruption. "Oh my goodness, Dennis will you give it a rest?" Twilight finally asked. "Hey, you have no idea how dangerous these things are!" he shouted."We can handle it, SHUT UP!" Rainbow Dash said. "Fine, but don't come crying to me when your vital organs get ruptured by a Corruptor," he said. Finally they arrived and when they stepped out all hell broke loose.

It was pure chaos, Eaters of souls flying everywhere, World Feeders burrowing and surfacing. The monsters were horrific. The Eater of Souls had a wide head, the body narrowing down until the tail. It had odd little antenna like things with a glowing green top on each of them all over it's body. it had one eye and a horrible mouth with two large rotten fangs. its skin was an ugly shade of brown, rotten in small patches. The World feeders were large worms with eyes running along its body and on its head. It also had two large fangs and two smaller ones inside of them. Dennis ran to join the fight, Unicorns sending shards of glass at the monsters, Pegasi diving and grabbing Eater of Souls and Earth Ponies bucking everything in sight.

"Dennis wait!" Twilight shouted, but it was too late. Dennis took his boomerang and sent it at a Eater of Souls, it hit caving the monster's skull in and killing it. Dennis turned and looked up in time to see a World Feeder making a arc in midair and falling towards him. He trotted backwards out of it's range and sent the sword in a thrust, and impaled the huge worm in one of it's eyes. He swung his sword again, making contact with an Eater of Souls and making a nice, clean cut through it, spraying him with its vile blood. He turned again, but this time too late as an Eater rammed into him and sent him flying backwards through a window. He stumbled to his hooves and grabbed his sword with his magic and used it as a throwing knife

"CHEW ON THIS!" He screamed and sent it flying at the Eater. The result was not pretty. He walked over to the remains of the Eater who had been hit right in the mouth with the sword, which was halfway through the monster vertically

"Boom... Headshot," he said with a dark edge to his voice he looked around and saw a sickening sight.

Ponies mangled, with holes through their bodies. That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the ponies who were still alive. Some with only half of their bodies, some trying to hold their innards in. He looked for someone to help and his eyes rested on a white coated unicorn, with a spikey blue mane and tail with purple sunglasses. "Help..." the pony said. Dennis took out a bottle with pink liquid inside. "Here drink this," he said and levitated it to the mare's lips she took a small sip, and almost immediately her huge gashes on her body shrank to little cuts and scrapes,  almost fatal wounds changed to something a foal could receive in a normal day of play. She slowly got to her hooves.

"How-" she began,

"Don't mention it, now get going RUN!" He yelled, and she quickly galloped off. The rest of the battle was a blur, Dennis alternating between boomerang and sword to kill the monsters. He was receiving almost as much damage as he put out, gashes, cuts and broken bones. Dennis was no weakling though, and knew how to deal with and almost ignore small pains. He was able to make the one bottle of healing potion last by taking extremely small sips decreasing large slashes and scrapes to small cuts and bruises, and broken bones to only cracked or bruised ones.

After what Dennis judged to be 4 hours the battle was over and he reunited with Twilight and Rainbow Dash who were both pretty messy. They had been supporting immensely during the fight, Rainbow Dash swooping in to rescue the wounded and Twilight sniping monsters from rooftops.

"Rarity would so crap right now," Rainbow Dash said with a grin, and Dennis had to agree. He was covered head to hoof in dirt, sweat, piss, and blood (his, pony, and monster's) and his mane and tail were in disarray. Dennis looked at both of them.

"I cant wait to go show her," Dennis said with a tired smile.
