Legacy of the Kirin
Chapter 9: "Something wicked this way comes"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpirit stares at the now Kirin Rarity, who stumbles to her hooves and strange claws. She looks up and see's Spirit standing there with an incredulous look on his face. She then looks down at herself, and her eyes widen as she moves her claws around. She makes her tail flick a few times.
She then looks back up at Spirit, her wings shudder slightly.
"What happened to me, darling?" She asks. Spirit sits on a chair and shakes his head.
"I don't know, but, whatever it is, it's a good thing it happened." He states.
Rarity look at him in confusion.
"What ever do you mean, darling?" She asks.
Spirit points a finger at the piles of ashes laying about. Then he points to the diamond knives on her form in in the walls around them. He then looks back at her and smirks.
"You became a badass Kirin." He states. "Welcome, to the top of the food-chain." He says before standing back up. He then walks over to her, his strange clothes turn into what that human was wearing, Rarity's eyes widen as she watches Spirit walks up to her and helps her onto her hind-legs before Twilight and the others rush into the room, they freeze as they see Spirit standing there with a now Kirinized Rarity.
She takes a few steps, she smiles as she remains balanced before her right eye becomes red with a thin slit and she kicks repeatedly at the air, making the air scream as if in pain. She then stomps her hoof, making diamond pillars rise up and spiral into the air before curling down and turn into diamond shards that litter the floor.
Her eye returns to normal, and she grabs her head in slightly pain. Spike appears next to her, and wraps his arms around her form, as he holds her close to himself. She lays her head onto his chest, the pain seemingly vanishing.
"Thank you, darling." She says to Spike, who nods his head.
"Your...welcome?" He says with a confused look on his face.
Spirit walks over to Chrysalis, who is healing slowly thanks to Celestia's magic. He places a hand onto her cheek, making her eyes open and stare softly up at Spirit, who smiles down at the Queen.
"They are resting in peace." He tells her. She nods her head and sighs sadly and softly.
"How can you be sure?" She asks.
Spirit gives her a warm yet soft smile as he pats her chest gently.
"Because I saw their souls go to rest. They looked happy to be free from being those things." He tells her.
Chrysalis smiles back, before sniffing and moving her face into his chest, her body trembles as she cries softly. He takes her from Nightmare, and rubs her back gently. Her body wracks with sorrow and pain over the loss of her Changeling's.
"Why...they were my children....why did they need to die?" She sobs out sadly.
Spirit rubs her back gently as he holds her closer and tighter to his form.
"Ssh. Ssh. Everything will be fine. Your children are always going to be with you in your heart and soul." He tells her. She looks up at him sadly.
"They must hate me..." She sniffs out. Spirit shakes his head softly.
"No. They will always love you. All children love their mothers, one way, or another." He tell her. She sniffs more before nodding her head, before looking up at him.
"Thank you." She says. Spirit nods his head and sets her down onto a pile of gold, her hoof till missing.
"I am sorry I couldn't get to you in time about your hoof." He tells the Queen.
Chrysalis shakes her head softly.
"It's fine. I'll just...I'll just remain seated in my throne. I don't mind it at all." She says, doubt in her eyes.
Spirit shakes his head softly and leans in close to her. She blushes softly as he kisses her injured leg, a glowing light forms onto it, as her hoof starts to reform in a quick and painless manner. She gasps as she moves it around, giving it a good few test steps, before laying back down onto the pile, smiling up at Spirit.
"Thank you." She says to him. He nods his head and walks over to his massive pile of gold and crawls into the bottom of it, only to have his head pop out from the top.
"All of you shall remain here. I'll send word to Canterlot to have your ponies come to my territory, and your Changeling's to do the same. Chrysalis, Celestia." He explains.
A large winged Drake lands next to him, and he whispers into it's ear, or what they assume to be it's ear, before it nods and flies off, making a strange hissing sound. He looks back down at the group with a serious expression.
"We MUST find out who sent those THINGS after us." Rarity exclaims loudly, however, Spirit has the look that he knows just who it was that sent them. He growls lowly before climbing off of his pile and jumping onto a column. He slides down it, making the column crack under the pressure of his flingers that slowly return to being claws.
He lands and looks down at Rarity.
"I believe I know who sent those beasts here." He growls out.
"Who?" Chrysalis asks. He looks at her sadly.
"King Beetle." He hisses out. Chrysalis growls.
"That two faced BASTARD!!" She roars out in anger. Nightmare giggles.
"I like her, Spirit." Nightmare tell him. Spirit nods is head, before looking to a seething Chrysalis.
"We WILL avenge your children, and may of your kind, Queen Chrysalis." He states. Chrysalis seems to freeze and look up at him.
"My hive...I MUST GET BACK TO MY HIVE!!" She screams. She tries to get up, but stumbles forward, only to have a strange Dragon catch her. His scales are a dirt brown with some strange black swirls going around his spines, horns and parts of his body. His eyes are black with yellow-ninja-star-shaped pupil with a small slit in the middle. His tail is like multiple spines laid atop of another, but it is nothing more then scales.
His back adorns large arms that are made of sand, while behind those are another pair of arms made of mud. He looks at her with a soft gaze, before he holds out at least thirty-slimy-green-eggs. He gives her a sad look, and the shake of his head. Chrysalis's eyes form tears and she uses her magic to bring the eggs closer to herself, as she sobs loudly and full of pain.
The Dragon then turns and has around fifty of her Changeling's hobble in, they are batter and broken, some even bloody. A lone Changeling approaches Chrysalis and nuzzles her gently.
"We fought hard to protect the hive, my queen." She tells her. Chrysalis nods her head and nuzzles the Changeling back.
"I am sad, devastated that our hive is now so little, but I am glad to see you all made it out safely." She expresses with a small smile. Another Changeling steps forward.
"We were saved by this Dragon. It burst from the sands and rocks, and killed the Ruby Changeling's. My queen." A male Changeling explains. The dragon nods his head as it's horns are actually ears and they swivel slightly before it looks towards Chrysalis and smiles softly. She blushes before smiling back.
"Thank you, um...?" She asks.
"My name, is Mountain. I am the Dragon of the Earth." He states. Spirit nods his had softly.
"How have you been, Mountain?" He asks the large Earth Dragon. Mountain looks at Spirit, and his eyes widen.
"Spirit...is that you?" He asks. Spirit nods his head firmly.
"Mm. I have forgotten that you ruled over the Bad Lands." Spirit says with a sheepish grin. Mountain chuckles.
"Ah, I see." Mountain says sagely with a soft nod of his head before looking back at Chrysalis. He looks her form over and he is captivated by her looks. Her mane is like the lush blue trees in the Bad Lands. Her chitin/fur is like the soft earth beneath his sand as he eyes resemble the beautiful forests of old. He blushes light as he see's her blushing and staring back at him.
"Um, it is nice to meet you, Sir Mountain." Chrysalis says. Mountain nods his head.
"It is wonderful to meet such a beautiful creature, such as yourself." Mountain says to her, making her blush and giggle into a hoof while batting the other at him.
"Stop it, I'm not beautiful." She says. Mountain grabs her hoof in his claws gently, making her blush more as he stares deeply into her eyes.
"I think you are the MOST beautiful woman around." He tells her. "Never let anyone tell you otherwise understand?" He tells her once more. She smiles softly and nods her head, before feeling a spark form in her chest, making it grow warm and her heart to beat fast.
She the feels herself kissing Mountain gently, as his other claws slither around her form and caress her figure, making her blush even more and kiss him deeper. Sparks seem to fly in her mind and chest. Her whole body heats up as she starts to crave him more and more.
The two fall back onto a gold pile, before separating, and staring into each others eyes, a bond seems to form between the two, as if it were love at first look. They then kiss softly once more, before Spirit places his claws on both of them.
"You two may continue this AFTER we help the Changeling's feel more welcomed, as I can see they are a bit, uneasy and skittish around the Drake's." Spirit informs. Chrysalis nods her head, but never leaves Mountain's side, as if she NEEDS to be next to him always.
Mountain nods his head and rises to his claws, before the ones on his back pick Chrysalis up and form a strange throne for her to sit on as he carries her around. He walks alongside as the two walk through the throne room and reach the massive pile of gold that Spirit sits upon as a large messanger Drake lands and looks up at him.
"Scrruum derrfuum tresht inrrom grruupouum.(Send word to the Griffin's.)" He tells the Drake.
"Yesssh ssire." It hisses out before flickering away, making the same sound as a Sonic Rainboom does as it leaves. Spirit then looks to Gilda.
"Your father is being sent word of this attack, and also to worn him of these things." He explains. Gilda nods her head as she sits next to him, Nightmare sits behind him as Celestia sits on the other side of him. He lays down softly and yawns, the sun is setting and the moon is rising. He closes his eyes and falls to sleep with his mates.
The others, save for Chrysalis and Mountain and the Changeling's, leave back to their own rooms. The Changeling's curl up in the piles of gold, as Chrysalis lays down atop of Mountain, the two share a gentle kiss before drifting off to slumber.
==========Next Day; July 30th======================
Spirit wakes up by the sounds of rusting and grunting. He lifts his head up high as his eyes scan the room, however, he sports the Changeling's bashing their heads into each other like rams used to do. He tilts his head to the right in confusion as they then change their forms into random Drake's and wrestle.
He walks down his massive pile and stops between the large group, making them stop and return back to their original forms. He places a claw atop of a female Changeling's head and rubs gently. The female Changeling blushes as Spirit transfers love to her and the other Changeling's, making them swarm him and nuzzle the great Kirin.
He keeps feeding them as he can feel their beings healing and growing stronger and stronger. He closes his eyes and keeps feeding them his endless love, however, when he opens his eyes, he can see them changing, becoming large and more Kirin-Changeling-like. He smiles as their wings become larger and become a mix of a bugs and Dragon's.
Their forelegs are much like his own, however, they are more like Mountain's. He smirks as they are gaining Mountain's characteristics, as is Chrysalis. They all have large sand, rock, mud, or simple dirt arms and claws or hands growing from their backs as they all become Chrysalis's height.
Chrysalis starts to grow however, and becomes as tall as Mountain is, who is twice the size of Spirit, and her horn become curved backwards, her neck longer while her fore-claws become sharper and her tail become whip-like with those strange spikes. Her slit eyes remain the same, however, where their should be white, there is black and the dark green becomes a lighter shade.
Her chitin-fur becomes thicker, yet it is also softer than one would think. Her mane is longer and even capable of moving and forming hands at the tips of the thick strands. Her fangs become larger and double. She then wakes up, as her transformation finishes and she gasps in surprise before she feels something nudge her softly.
She turns and see's Mountain looking up at her. She blushes as she see's a strange lustful want in his eyes. She giggles softly as she leans down and kisses him, however, Mountain's extra limbs coil around her waist and upper chest as he deepens the kiss. Chrysalis moans softly as the two close their eyes and continue their passionate kiss before separating, each holds a sense of love for each other in their eyes.
Spirit chuckles softly as the Changeling's curl up close to him, making he himself feel the love flowing through the air. He the feels something nudge him gently. He looks down and he see's what appears to be an incredibly small Changeling with green goo all over it. He leans down and nuzzles the small Changeling back, however, it hugs his muzzle as tight as it's small forelegs could as if it thinks that HE was it's mother.
Chrysalis walks over and nuzzles the Changeling, which releases Spirit's muzzle and hugs hers tightly. She then lifts her head and walks back to Mountain and places the Changeling onto her back. He chuckles as it sniffs around, it's eyes remain closed, however, it's small wings buzz and it floats into the air and moves towards Spirit and lays atop of his head, falling to sleep.
Chrysalis giggles softly.
"Seems that one enjoys your company, Spirit." She says. Spirit nods his head softly to not wake the child. The child moves around softly and slides down the back of his neck, making Spirit's heart race and move his tail quickly to catch the baby. The baby Changeling lays on his tail like a hammock, and the spikes like the bars on a baby bed.
He brings the baby close to his face, and nuzzles it gently, making Chrysalis giggle.
"I believe she will enjoy living here." She states. Spirit gives her a look. "I would like to remain here, so that my hive may grow in a place that is lush and beautiful, to raise a larger family, if you will have us." She asks.
"Of course you may stay here. All are welcomed in my kingdom, even if they have their own, but wish to visit this one." Spirit explains to Chrysalis. Chrysalis nods her head softly before laying back down with Mountain and closes her eyes. Mountain licks the back of Chrysalis's neck gently with his scratchy tongue and then nuzzles her shoulders gently.
Chrysalis curls up closer to Mountain's side and nibbles gently on his neck, making him make a strange purr and curl around her form. Chrysalis kisses him softly before letting out a soft sigh and going back to sleep with Mountain, who lays his head atop of hers and closes his eyes, going into slumber.
Spirit nuzzles the baby Changeling once again, however, she nuzzles him back and makes a 'mew' sound as she crawls around her strange hammock-crib and nibbles on the spikes gently. He chuckles softly and licks her gently, making her purr like a kitten, which she resembles for some odd reason, and nuzzles his muzzle gently.
He smiles and kisses the top of her head gently, making her 'mew' once again. She moves a hoof out and pats his muzzle, before climbing up onto it and sits there. He focuses his sites on her as she licks her foreleg and then wipes it on her face, her fore-hooves seem to have paws, her tail is similar to his own, as is the rest of her, but instead of being a pony, she is a Changing with draconic parts.
She opens her eyes slowly and looks around, her black chitin-fur turns pinkish-white as her eyes are similar to Chrysalis's, but instead of green, they are cerulean blue and white. She looks back at Spirit.
"Mew...!" She says.
"Yes, little one?" He asks.
"Mew...." She calls out as she taps his muzzle with a paw once more, curiosity in her eyes. He chuckles softly, making her look around quickly. "mew." She states as she pads her ways up his head and slides down the back of his neck and sits on his back. She looks around, as if confused as to how she did that, before she bursts in a fit of giggles and snorts.
"Whee?" Spirit asks her. She nods her head softly.
"WHEE!" She exclaims, making him smile happily as he nuzzles her gently. "Whee." She says as her belly growls. He rubs her chin gently with a claw before moving to Chrysalis and shaking her awake gently. She jolts awake, startled before she see's it is Spirit and sighs.
"Yes?" She asks.
"What do baby Changeling's eat?" Spirit asks.
"Love. All Changeling's eat love when they are young, but can eat solid foods when older." Chrysalis states, however, when said baby Changeling appears on her muzzle, she giggles. "Awe, well aren't you cute." She tells her. The baby giggles and hugs Chrysalis's muzzle.
"Mmm...Mmmm..." She says.
"Mama?" Chrysalis asks.
"MAMA!!" The baby exclaims with wide smile as she nuzzles Chrysalis. Chrysalis giggles softly and nods her head.
"That's right, mama is here sweetie." She tells the child. Spirit chuckles with a wide smile, before he grows serious and turns his head towards the north. He closes his eyes and he watches from a birds-eye-view as he soars over his jungle, Canterlot, over the mountains and rail-roads as he see's the frozen north become active once more
He see's two large green and red eyes with purple mist flowing from them. He gasps as he opens his eyes, as he hears a deep rumbling laugh echo through his head, before he passes out.
