Legacy of the Kirin

Dusk jumps and twirls over a Crystal Minion as it tries to stab at him. He slices the minion in half before a large Crystal Spider crashes into him and tries to sink it's fangs into his neck as he tries to push the damned thing off of him. Spirit flickers beside the spider and kicks it far too hard as his eyes seem to be changing the closer they get to the castle.

Light and Dusk notice this and grow worried as he could be dealing with his inner Dragon. Spirit summons what looks to be a small dagger version of his sword and decapitates a minion. He growls and his energy starts to darken as he charges towards the castle on foot at full speed.

His wings starts to vanish and a secondary tail starts to form instead as he gets closer and closer to the large shinning Crystal Castle. The ponies notice this as they had been watching in awe as Spirit moves faster than the eye or sound could pick up and he truly becomes a spirit. Twilight raises her sword and shield as she gains a determined look in her eye and flickers after Spirit.

Dusk and Light both dodge away from each other as a Dusk Clone lands wearing strange clothing that reminds them of ninja's. The clone throws daggers out but they are blocked by a gust of wind and the clone is cleaved in half by nothing they can see until Spirit flickers high above the collapsing clone and then vanishes from their senses once again.

Dusk growls in aggravation.

'How is it that he keeps getting stronger!? What is happening to him!?' He thinks.

'I hope he will be okay after this...' Light thinks in worry as she sighs and rubs her belly gently. 'This is one is growing slower than I had thought, is this how Spirit felt?' She thinks to herself. Dusk stares at her before placing a hand onto her shoulder.

"Your expecting, hm?" He asks. She nods her head slightly. "I see, then I guess we should hope he doesn't remain this way." Dusk states before Spirit forms before them with his normal tail and two new tails as they look like elements, the one left of the middle one is made of strange blue flames while the right to the middle is made out of sand.

He growls as a feral look comes to his eyes as he brutally tackles a fleeing minion and tears it to shreds with his claws and fangs as his body becomes surrounded by a pulsating deep dark aura that that makes the blue crystals around him turn into multiple different colors before shattering. The shards circle around him before they shoot out and becomes strange black rods that impale multiple enemies to all surfaces.

Spirit roars and his human form is forced into his Kirin form as it starts to gain a longer snout and a strange horn on the tip of his nose that points forward as his horns start to melt and then form with his ears making them longer and bright red/orange. His claws become longer and sharper as his tail thrash around and his hind-hooves become talon like paws that scrunch up and shatter the ground beneath him.

He growls as drool drips down onto the ground and the liquid lights ablaze and explodes creating a large hole on the ground that Spirit now resides in. He releases a strange howl as his yes become pure black before is silica forms to be bright red as a slit pupil forms. He hisses and growls as his fur sticks up like needles and his snout becomes shorter once again.

Light and Dusk stare down at this new form that Spirit has acquired as he flickers before them on his hind legs as he seems to resemble his human and strange Kirin form fused together. His hand scrunches up into a fist as his hair covers his eyes.

"Spirit...What happened to you?" Light asks.

"I became THIS during my little...fight with Sombra and Discord." He explains. Light stares at him, as does Dusk.

"But you never showed this to us! And we were at BOTH of those fights!" They both exclaim. Spirit shakes his had.

"Remember? I can control how I look?" He states. They stare at him as he lifts his head revealing his black and blood red slit eyes. Dusk and Light gain a brief moment where their visions flicker and they see Discord standing before them giving the two the same look Spirit had on right now. The two feel overwhelming dread as his body flickers and two large wings spread out from Spirit's back as one resembles his old wings and the other looks almost like a mix of Draconequus and Alicorn wings as they fan out.

His tails swish around as they can see a glimpse of a silhouette of a massive multi-tailed dragon roaring over a burning mountain and castle that sits broken and beneath it as bodies of ponies and other creatures stare up as it and a massive monstrous Discord clash against each other.

They watch as the two beasts clash one last time before they both groan and grab their heads in pain. Spirit sighs.

"I'm guessing you know about the final battle?" He asks. Dusk growls and slugs Spirit in the face, but grows surprised as he grabs his broken hand and Spirit's face is just fine and he hasn't moved an inch from the spot he still stands.

"You bastard!" Dusk exclaims. Spirit looks at him with a confused look on his face. "What about OUR battle!?" He roars. Spirit gives him a blank stare and says "Our battle will commence after all of this is said and done. I never said when THIS would end." Spirit states as Dusk growls. Light looks at both of them.

"Wait a minute!" She exclaims. The two look at her and she smirks. "So does that mean Discord and Sombra both die in the end?" She asks. Spirit smirks back and nods.

"Of course. Like they could defeat us!" He exclaims with a fist raised up high. The ponies and Twilight arrive and look around the battlefield with wide eyes.

"Thank Celestia that your on our side." Shinning states. Spirit looks at Armor and smirks once again.

"Course I'm on my dear Tia's side. Why would I betray my mates?" He asks. Light giggles and kisses his cheek gently.

"Well, sometimes you tend to leave us randomly and go off fighting something or order us to never touch or do something that could potentially harm us." Light states. Spirit gives her a deadpan stare as if she was somehow growing dumber than she should ever be.

"You just answered your own statements by stating the obvious..." Dusk stated making Spirit nod his head before he feels a spike in energy and spins around only to be punched in the face by a tanned skinned man with flowing black hair. He wears black armor shoulder pieces, shirt, pants along with a red vibrant cape flapping in the wind behind him.

He has a strange sword where the guard resembles a silver crown with black crystal lining it while the hilt looks like a thin black crystal while the blade resembles a large red fang of sorts that curves back as it rests on his hip. He has piercing green eyes with bright red silica and deep dark slit red slits as purple mist flows from the edges.

The man smirks and kicks Spirit into the air as he spin kicks Dusk and Light into the ponies and Twilight. He flickers above Spirit's body and kicks the Kirin into he ground with a backwards kick as his heel dug into Spirit's chest cavity and shattering his ribcage. He smirks as he flickers before Twilight and knees her into the stomach before spinning around and kicking her in the back of her head and making her face plant into the ground making it shatter.

He appears in the middle of the ponies and spins around before stopping making them all fly forward and slam into buildings going 30 mph. He turns and jumps as Dusk punches at the man who spins and flickers before Dusk is sent skipping around the ground before the man lands on his back and uses him as a "surfboard" for the harder than steel crystal ground creating a sort of straight-line moat.

He turns and bends backwards dodging Twilight's sword as she thrusts it forward before swinging it down onto the man, who smirks and grabs her weapon by the blade and shoulder throws her. He hears her right arm snap and a cry of pain as she slams into the ground and bounces across it making slight craters and kicking up crystalline dirt.

He spins to the side as Dusk slices at him with his sword and even moves his had around as Dusk delivers a series of high-speed kicks. The man smirks as Dusk's left leg is cocked back and ready to jet out and slam into his side as he blocks his right leg with a finger. He grabs Dusk's left knee making his eyes widen and the man to smile.

Dusk cries out in pain as the man shatters his legs before kicking him square in the chest sending him into the side of the large castle. The man spins to the side as Light stabs at him with her katana-spear and blocks one of his punches with her shield. She smirks up at the man who stares down at Light before he too smirks and the two flicker and fight at high-speeds as small booms of static are heard for the ponies.

Light kicks the man into the ground and her mask forms as she points her blade down and fires a large and bright blue beam of magical energy that connects with the man's body and results in a massive explosion. She lands onto her feet and rushes at where the smoking crater is. She jumps and fires another beam that booms down towards the smoking crater, but is stopped by a large blood red beam that manages to graze her side, making her cry out in pain, before the man appears before her without a scratch on his hated head.

"My, you really are getting stronger, Light." The man states with a deep booming voice.

"Fuck you! Sombra!" She exclaims. Twilight stares wide eyed, as do the ponies, up at Sombra who bows as his smirk comes back to race is miserable face.

"Glad to see you managed to remember me." He states. Light growls and her eyes become more feral as her dragon-human form coms out. Her skin is covered in thin scales capable of taking on multiple magical attacks before needing to replenish itself. Her hair is longer an swishes around in the wind as her nails become claws and her feet talons while her clothes turn into strange white armor pieces that resemble a bikini top and sun skirt with a bikini bottom beneath it.

He shield and sword have fused into a strange trident with her katana at the bottom as her tail swishes around and wings twitch slightly.

"You will DIE!" She exclaims as her trident becomes engulfed by water. She spins the strange trident around in the air as the dark clouds rain down hail and the ground starts to freeze over. Frost forms on Spirit's unmoving body as it spreads over onto lamp posts and even buildings.

Dusk summons his strange reaper form as his scythe glows an ominous black and purple flames. The air seems to get thicker and the clouds become blacker as if the skies were theirs to command. Sombra watches with an amused look on his face as the two Dragon-Son's charge up their powerful attacks as the ground cracks and shatters.

His amused look becomes a mocking smirk as the two attacks reach their full power and are launched out at him by incredible speeds making the ponies and Twilight stare in awe. Sombra keeps smirking as the two attacks fuse together to form a large blue, white, black and purple burning ball of magical fire.

He holds up a hand right as the ball reaches him seemingly catching their attack before a small sphere forms in the palm of his hand. Their eyes grow wide as he looks up at the two with a strange sadistic smirk. A thin beam shoots out from the sphere cutting the ball in half before the beam expands into twice the size of the ball and roars towards the two.

The beam roars louder and louder as an immense heat is felt by all as it rears close to the two Dragon-Son's who simply stare as their attacks seemed to have left a recoil that makes them freeze to regain energy. The two manage to move but it's too late and they body raise and arm in order to lessen the damage.

They feel nothing but hear what sounds like an explosion before them as gust of wind toss and play with everyone's hair. Light opens her eyes and moves her arm down before staring with her mouth agape. Standing before them is Spirit as a smaller sphere spirals in the palm of his outstretch right hand before firing out a massive beam of magical lava out at Sombra.

His hair is covering his eyes as his lips have a smirk gracing them. He lifts his head up and his eyes show glee. He vanishes and they watch as Sombra gains a true smile and he vanishes. They both meet up in the middle as Spirit's massive beam is flying at them as they are locked in hand to hand combat.

The two laugh as they manage to punch each other in the side of the head making the two send each other flying right as the beam flies between them and collides with the castle, creating a small explosion before a suck of air and the castle vanishes as if it were sent into another dimension.

They crash into buildings before meeting back into the middle once more as Spirit blocks Sombra's punch and he blocks Spirit's kick to the side. They stare at each other before their forms flicker and the ground trembles as a deep crater forms where they were standing. A shockwave ricochets off of the ground making tremors that make Light, Dusk, Twilight and the ponies bouce arounf in an attempt to stay standing.

Pinkie suddenly feels something in her saddlebag and pulls out what looks like a strange rectangle with many tiny buttons, switches and even two strange small circular screens. She then sees a strange pink tablet with the shape of an apple on the back. She looks to Light.

"What was Spirit's favorite song?" She asks.

"Um...I don't remember." Light says with a sheepish smile.

"He enjoyed FAR too many songs to even be part of that rank. But what I can say is he was a fan of "Look At Me Now". Why?" Dusk asks. Pinkie moves closer to the now glowing tablet and pokes it a few times before a song starts to play. The two Dragon-Son's face plant onto the ground before getting back up and face palming from their random stupidity.

"Where did you get that?" Light asks.

"It was in my saddlebag all of a sudden." She states with a confused look. Light looks down and giggles.

"It was mine when I was younger and was dating Spirit. He preferred this song over one of my favorites!" She exclaims. The ground gains another tremor and their attention is back on the wide scaled fight before them. They watch as Spirit stops in place while cocking a fist back. Sombra flies at Spirit with his left leg preparing to jet out and deliver a powerful kick.

The two punch/kick at each other ultimately blocking the other as they both gain gleeful smirks on their face. They push each other back before flickering and meeting up in the air creating a shockwave that shakes the sky. The others on the ground stare in awe as the two are fighting hand to hand with Spirit being the more powerful.

Spirit spin kicks downwards and sends Sombra down into the ground and he jumps around on the air before dashing down at the downed king with an ever present killing intent grin on his lips. His sword forms onto his side and looks like a strange katana with a skull guard, skeletal hilt with that strange eternal flame flickering. The scabbard is a bright yellow with what appears to be lava spots on it.

Light watches as Spirit's energy seems to be growing darker, crueler. She gains a flashback of Discord doing the same thing to Spirit a few thousand years ago. Her flashback ends as she can feel a new energy letting itself known from the core of Spirit. It feels old yet young. It feels like an ancient evil and holy good. The energy starts to spread through his body as she can see him gaining a wider grin as strange bright red energy arms form on his back and jets out down at the crater.

The hands seem to grow larger and wider before they are stopped by a wide beam of pure black energy that manages to push them back. The others watch as Sombra floats out of the smoke, his eye glowing a bright red hue as cuts are bleeding out from all over his body. His cape is torn apart as it flaps in the raging winds.

His sword has been drawn as his lips are still forming a gleeful smirk as the blade ignites into black flames with red tint to them as he slashes the air sending a wave of power out at Spirit. Spirit's eyes narrow as he swipes a hand and makes the wave of power spread in half ad go around him before exploding sending out Black Magic arrows that fly out at Spirit.

"This is new." Spirit states loudly for all to hear. He spins around and a ring of wind spins around his feet before expanding into a ranging typhoon as rain downpours down onto the earth. Cadence looks around at the devastation as the downpour seems to represent the tears of the planet.

She looks up at where Spirit stands and gains the same flicker that Dusk and Light had seen of that strange Dragon fighting with a monstrous Discord as the world is filled with darkness and the Dragon is the only light. She watches as the Dragon releases a monstrous roar that shakes the very foundations of the world and beyond as the two beings of power clash.

She watches as the Dragon starts to come to light and how it looks similar to a she instead of a he. Cadence smirks softly as she watches the giant Dragoness cast down the God of Chaos and end the reign of despair of the future. But, this is NOT what will happen. For all she knows, it could happen in a matter of days or centuries. But she will be ready to stand on the side of the light and help battle against the forces of darkness.

Her vision flickers again right as Spirit blocks Sombra's sword with a hand before an explosion sounds off as the two fly into the ground making heavier shockwaves throughout the earth as buildings crumble to nothingness. The two combatants rise to their feet. Cadence watches as Sombra seethes with anger while Spirit retains his still smiling face as the two have a staring contest of power.

However, something unexpected happened. Sombra burst out laughing like a maniac. He holds his sword out before him as flames of his raw magical power form around his feet before spiraling upwards forming a tornado of Sombra's raw power as everyone can feel something powerful forming in that strange energy tornado.

The tornado grows wider and wider before it becomes the size of the fallen castle. Spirit's eyes widen before he growls. He turns and yells out to the others. "GO! Get the Crystal Heart! I'll hold him off until then!!" The others look at Spirit as if he were mad, seeing as to how his smile seems to have formed into a grin, and began to question his judgment.

"But, Spirit- " "Don't argue with me, Light Smith!" Spirit growls out. Light stares at Spirit with wide eyes. He had NEVER used her first a last name in the same sentence. She sighs before nodding her head. She turns towards the castle before running towards the ruins. Dusk follows suite with Twilight and the others quickly in tow.

Spirit gains a sad tired smile before gaining a serious look as he looks towards the spiraling tornado with two large eyes staring down at him. He smirks as he unsheathes his blade as it begins to glow along with his eyes.

"Let's finish this. Sombra." He states as he charges towards the tornado of Sombra dark powerful energy with a smirk on his face. He sends a silent prayer for the others to find the heart before he would need to release her. The final battle of the Crystal Empire, finally begins.
