Legacy of the Kirin

Spirit walks slowly with Celestia, who gives him a worried look. He had been asleep for a month, making everyone on edge. The Drake's have been getting violent and fierce as their leader and father was out of it. Celestia, Nightmare and Gilda were forced to quell them all as they were seen as Spirit's queen's instead of girl-friends as he would call them.

Spirit looks up and see's Ander and Luna sitting silently with each other, both giving him a worried look, while Diorum sits sit's at the bottom of his pile of gold. He climbs to the top of his 'throne' and shudders, his body feel weak, but he can't get sick, so what could possibly be affecting him so?

He then looks back down and see's what appears to be a mist figure rising from the ground. He rubs his eyes and looks again, that figure is nowhere to be seen. He rubs his head and closes his eyes tightly. He then feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns his head around quickly and see's nothing, yet he can feel something, no, many things all around him.

He shudders once again before laying back down, his body freezing and he shivers. He breaths a small flame onto his gold, heating it up considerably. He feels relief and smiles softly. Before he see's a mist figure behind one of the columns peak out at him. His blood runs cold and he yelps in surprise, making everyone jump and look towards him staring at a column, he is as pale as a ghost.

"Spirit, what's wrong?" Gilda asks.

"I see a figure, peaking out from behind the column, right there." He says as he points at the figure. Gilda turns and see's it as well. She quirck's a brow.

"The hell?" She says, before the figure seemingly vanishes, making her squawk in surprise and cling to Spirit. "GHOST!" She yells out. Twilight snorts.

"Puh-lease! There are no such things as ghosts or spirit's. Only science and magic." She explains. Spirit gains a hurt look on his face, as does Celestia and Luna. Twilight notes this. "What's wrong with you three?" She asks.

"We are ALL spirit's." Luna tells her. "We only have a physical form because we USED magic of this plain of existence." Luna explains.

"But what about Spirit?" Twilight asks.

"I was killed by Nightmare Moon, yet I managed to return because I had taken the souls of Dragon's and a few Draconequi, maybe an evil Alicorn or two, I don't exactly have the best memory." Spirit explains.

"Wait...so your technically a ghost?" Shy asks. Spirit shakes his head.

"No, I am VERY much alive, but I am much the same as Tia and Luna here. I can make myself have no physical form, but I would still be HERE, I wouldn't just vanish, none of us would." Spirit explains.

"So what? Do Vamponies exist? Is the Franken-pony real as well?" Twilight asks with a snort and the roll of her eyes.

"Vam-ponies exist, Franken-pony is fake, however, Zombies ARE real if you use Black Magic. Were-ponies exist and are actually part of the pony race, they can cast their strange shape shifter magic to control their changes. Gods and Goddesses are real, even the Elements are real and are alive." Spirit explains.

"So, we should be scared of all these things?" Twilight asks with doubt.

"Zombies yes, Vam-ponies, no, Were-ponies, no, Black Magic, yes." Spirit says before he gains thoughtful look on his face. "Me? Yes." He says. This makes them give him a strange look of surprise.

"Why would we need to be afraid of you?" Dash asks.

"Because I am the most dangerous thing here. If I wanted to, I could kill everyone and all of Equestria before other countries could try to help. I am capable of making many things bow down to me." He explains.

"So, why don't you?" Rarity asks.

"Because I prefer to keep life in peace, no destruction until the time has come for the world to start anew." He explains.

"And your the one who has to do it?" Shy asks.

"No. I am not the destroyer of the world." He chuckles out, before the whole room becomes cold and multiple blue glowing orbs form all around, the moon seems to shine brighter and the room grows darker. Spirit trembles slightly from the cold, as his form becomes transparent. He looks up and see's the orbs are sucking in energy from his form, making him cough.

He drops and rolls down the side of the pile of gold, until energy whips stabs into his form, making him yell in pain as more of his energy flows into the hundreds upon thousands of orbs floating through the air. He tries to pull away, but something keeps soaking up his energy.

He growls of pain deepen into a long ravenous beast that makes the whole castle shake as the earth shudders as he roars and lets out a long stream of fire. His eyes become pure white as his body starts to grow larger and larger. Fire forms around the orbs and whips making them almost scream in terror and a few start to burn and become absorbed into his body, only making him grow more and more.

Dash looks to Twilight.

"Who had the element of fire again?" She asks. Celestia and Nightmare have grave looks on their faces as Luna and Ander make strange whimpering sounds.

"Not fire..." Celestia says.

"Hellfire." Nightmare states.

"Death." Luna whimpers out.

"Calamity." Ander answers last, fear evident in his tone and eyes. Mountain roars and summons earth shields that then turns into steel. Spirit roars louder and makes the wind seem to scream in fear of his mere presence. The sky grows darker as the moon is the only source of light as the stars become dimmed except for the constellation of a massive Dragon.

He drops onto the floor, his fur becoming scales, his hooves become talons, his wings becoming larger and his claws grow sharper and longer. He stomps around as more large figure slam onto the ground, the orbs are taking the shapes of Dragon's as the let out a strange roar.

Spirit's tail whips and decapitates a Dragon as it's soul flows into his chest. He then rears his head back and spews a stream of lava that covers another Dragon, making it wail in pain as it melts away, before the soul is sucked into his chest as well. He turns and is tackled into a pillar, making it crumble. He growls and bites down onto it's neck and shakes his head making a strange series of growls as the soul is sucked down his throat.

He roars as he tackles a Ghost Dragon through a wall, as the other ones fly around the room and pounds onto the steel domes protecting the Changeling's and ponies. Mountain bursts from one of the domes and his extra arms shoot out and impale the Ghost Dragon's through their chests, before they are absorbed into his form.

He growls and his eyes become white as he roars like a feral beast and attacks the other Ghost Dragon's, making a large bawl of slams and strange blue fire being spewed around the room. Spike joins in on the fight as he jumps from Dragon to Dragon and cuts their heads off and absorbing their forms.

Spike then breaths in and spews out emerald green fire that makes the Ghost Dragon's retreat back into the shadows, where Nightmare consumes them like they are nothing but appetizers. She then grabs a Ghost Dragon's muzzle with a hand and crushes it, making the creatures body explode into energy that flows into her chest.

She feels Spirit's energy course through her, and it makes her crave more, even though it is still very little, and she charges into the fight, holding a large scythe in hand, her tail forms as does her wings and four horns. She slices the Ghost Dragon's to pieces and absorbs their souls and Spirit's energy.

She passes Celestia who holds that strange axe in her right hand that she raises into the air and sends out a solar flare that flashes out and makes the Ghost Dragon's around her perish, however, their souls and Spirit's energy flows into her chest, making her confused, before she feels his powerful energy curse through her veins and she can feel him moving around throughout the castle fighting still.

She turns and she see's the wall where he crashed through, and she can see some strange orange-black-red scales on it, as if knocked off of his form. She spreads her wings and flaps them, propelling her after the great old serpent. Gilda swings her swords around, cutting the Ghost Dragon's open, however, they do the same thing and their souls and Spirit's power is coursing through her veins.

She swings a sword upward, and a large crescent shaped flame shoots out from her quick cut through the air, slicing a Ghost Dragon in half. She smirks and spin around, creating a tornado of flame around herself as her blades send out massive bursts of flamed air that cuts Ghost Dragon's to bits before absorbing them.

Rainbow winces as her Element glows softly and her body is covered in strange armor that acts her a normal body would. She smirks as she see' lightning arch off of her form. She jumps into the air and flickers before she reappears behind three Ghost Dragon's who explode and their souls are absorbed into the Element, while Spirit's energy flows into her form.

She kicks at the air, making a strange beam of lightning fly out and hit a Ghost Dragon, however, the lightning then spreads to the other ones, making them explode and does as the others had down before. She can feel Spirit's strange power course through her veins as her Element seems to grow stronger and make a better connection with her.

She flies over Rarity, who enters her strange Kirin armor mode and fires a blue magic beam that consuming the smaller Ghost Dragon's. Their souls go into her Element as Spirit's energy flows into her body, making her strange armor change in an Alicorn's. She fires another beam, taking out more Ghost Dragon's as Twilight uses her magic to shield the others.

However, a long strange whip flies through the air and impales many of the Ghost Dragon's, making them explode as their souls and energy are absorbed in a figure wearing a strange human-style-cloak. It's a female as it has a large breast size, much like Nightmare's and Celestia's are, but her skin is dark caramel colored that shines in the light.

She flickers and appears above the Ghost Dragon's and others as two large tan-colored-wings fan out, an adventurers hat sits under the hood of the cloak. Magenta colored eyes peer out from the under the hat and hood, as it cracks the whip repeatedly and dices the Ghost Dragon's to pieces, their bodies exploding and sending out gusts of wind knocking everyone over.

Their souls and Spirit's power flows into the figures chest, making her gasps softly, as if there was a rush of power. She then turns and see's more Ghost Dragon's forming and she smirks from under her cloak.

"Let's see if I can still do this." She says. She cracks the hilt of what appears to be a strange Neighpponese sword, Katana, that they extends into a strange diamond spiked whip covered in fire. She smirks and flicks her wrist, making her strange-diamond-sword-whip shoot out and stab a Ghost Dragon through the had and chest, making it explode.

She spins the hilt slightly, making the whip spin rapidly through the air, making it scream right as lightning forms around her right hand. She then switches the whip into her lightning hand, making it spark as a second strange diamond katana is unsheathed from under her cloak and turns it into a whip covered in what looks to be lava and water.

She crosses her arms up to her chest, before swinging down and making the whip crack right as Spirit bursts through the wall behind the woman having three large Ghost Dragon's on him. They bite and claw at him, only serving to piss him off as he points his head upwards and lets out a torrent of hellish fire fly into the air, only to flow down his body, making two of the tree large Ghost Dragon's move away from him, the third is consumed by the fire.

He breaths large torrents of flame onto the last two, but one manages to fly into the air and break through the ceiling, while the second one makes Spirit focus on itself instead of the first one. Spirit lunges through his flames and chomps at the Ghost Dragon, making it step back and then lunge and bite his shoulder, making him growl and knock it away with his tail. While this goes on, the woman swings her whips around.

She cuts smaller Ghost Dragon's into bits and pieces as Spirit deals with a large one. She dodges left and then right a human sized Dragon snaps at her. She cracks both of her whips and they coil around it's form, before swinging her arms out, splitting the Dragon in half, making it's lower half explode before the upper half laughs.

"You will all die...!" It laughs out before exploding and being sucked into her form. She then turns around just in time to watch Spirit bite the Ghost Dragon's neck and pin it's body down, before breathing his hellish fire down it's throat, making it wail in pain before exploding and being consumed by him.

He lets out a massive roar that shakes the very air and sends fear into their hearts before he return to normal is a massive wave of steam and massive gusts of wind. He falls out of the cloud of strange steam as his body as small steam trails flowing off, his eyes are closed as he falls head first.

The woman flickers underneath him and catches him before the two fall and hit into his pile of gold, making the pieces rain down upon everyone. Celestia, Nightmare and Gilda flicker to the top of the pile of gold where Spirit lays and the woman sits calmly.

"Who are you?" Nightmare asks.

"Oh come on! You know who I am! Who else can be this hot, hm?" The woman states as she lifts the hood off of her head, revealing her black hair, with few grey streaks going through it. Celestia's eyes widen.

"Daring? How are you in this form?" She asks.

"Daring Doo!?" Everyone else exclaims. She smirks and nods her head softly as Spirit starts to awaken.

"I went out on an excavation to find a way to become closer to Spirit. When I found this strange medallion I decided to pick it up, however, Aueezotel appeared and chased me down. I was forced to put it on, but when I thought if it as a simple medallion, it turned me into this, and then these Katana's appeared on my hips." She explains.

"I see, so you found a magical medallion, but where is it now?" Nightmare asks. Daring places a hand onto her chest.

"It started to glow, and, well it fused with me, I guess. Took a while to figure out how to change from either forms, but I can so totally do it now, but it's weird how I have fire, water, lightning and plasma based abilities." She states as a lava ball forms and floats at the tip of her finger.

"That's amazing!" Twilight states. "Can the medallion be removed and studied?" She asks hopefully. Daring shakes her head.

"It is now a part of me, and me a part of it. I am technically more than a Pegasus now though." She mutters out, a slight blush can be faintly seen on her cheeks.

"How so?" Spirit asks, making everyone jump as they haven't heard him speak in hours. The sun rises and the light of it moves up his form, however, the ponies gasp as they see a strange creature before them. His skin is ghost white, his eyes have remained the same, however, he has brown fair hair, two large red horns poke out of his brown locks.

His cloths are strange and alien to the ponies, but to Celestia and Nightmare, they see a large Scottish red twin-tailed-coat with white flames on it, a black under-dress-shirt with what looks to be purple flames. His legs are covered by brown dress-pants with strange black markings moving up them like fire. His back has two massive red dragon wings, while his tail-bone has become a long red scaled dragon tail.

His feet are covered in brown dress shoes. His tail swishes a few times as steam keeps rising from his form. Spirit rises to his feet, standing higher than Nightmare or Celestia had thought from before. He stretches making his bones pop multiple times.

"Man it feels good to be back like this!!" He exclaims. He then looks down at his gloved hands and tilts his head to the left, a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asks.

"Did I become Sherlock Holmes or something?" He asks.

"No, but weren't you Scottish?" Celestia asks. Spirit nods his head lightly with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

"If I remember correctly, I was Scots-Gaelic. Or something around there. But hey! I could be wrong! Only been a few billion years of life and all." He says with his eyes closed as he swishes his hand around in the air as if bored or asking for an encore. They were going to go with the first one.

"That's amazing! You look like you did in that book!" Twilight exclaims. Spirit opens and eyes and smirks, showing off his teeth and fangs.

"Damn right I do. Otherwise I'd need to have a 'talk' with the big guy." He states.

"Who's the 'big guy'?" Pinkie asks.

"Solaris, I think." Spirit says with a tired and bored shrug. "Not even sure if he is still the king." Spirit explains with a bored tone, as if none of this whole situation matters, but the fact is, this situation matters more than he thinks. Celestia's eyes widen.

"Spirit, can you turn into a Kirin or full Dragon again?" She asks. Spirit nods.

"Course I can. I'm just surprised I am capable of becoming like THIS again, I mean really! How hard does have to be to gain ones old form for fucks sake?" He asks Celestia in particular.

"Apparently hard." Nightmare sighs out. Spirit points a finger at her and jabs the air with a wide grin.

"Right you are, oh how right you are! Now what we need to do is go and...whoa." Spirit states as he looks at Gilda, Nightmare, Celestia and Daring with wide eyes. "Um...wow. You all look amazing!" He exclaims.

"I still look like a Griffin though." Gilda says. "Doesn't that put you off?" She asks.

"Nope!" Spirit says as he kisses her feathery cheek gently. "Your all beautiful in my eyes! Then again, my eyes can see all, so there IS that." Spirit expresses, making Gilda blush.

"Oh, um, good!" She states firmly, her blush ever growing.

"So, what do we do now?" Twilight asks. Spirit looks up towards the hole in his roof, a serious and determined look on his face.

"We wait."
