Legacy of the Kirin
Chapter 8: "What?"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpirit walks along the obsidian walls of his castle. Gilda is on his right, while Nightmare is on his left. The three walk in silence as they head towards the meeting room, as it is time for the rest of the world to meet the King of the Mountain. He pushes open the door and see's a large bluish-grey Minotaur with a stupid short black Mohawk atop of it's head.
A Changeling queen with a long light blue mane brushed neatly and her strange tail resembles that of his own. Her black chitin-like-fur shines slightly as her soft green slit eyes look about the room. She sits next to Celestia, laughing at a friendly joke. Her pearl white fangs glint in the light softly as her strange shell glows bright blue and green. Her bug-wings flutter slightly when she laughs.
He then see's an old Griffin, Gilda's father, who has a scar over his left eye. He wears spiked silver armor and looks like a brute that could kill with a simple look. Said brute is laughing and has a Zebra foal attacking his head. Spirit smiles as the Zebra priestess sits next to the Griffin king with a smile on her muzzle.
He notices the large and old brown Dragon, known as Quake, as he used to make earthquakes when he was a simple hatchling. He sits next to a Gargoyle who talks with him. The two act like old friends. Spirit then see's Wood Ponies from the southern forest's of old where the tree's reach up to 300 feet and holds their ancient city.
He then see's an old friend. A large Phoenix. Philomena. He smiles up at the Phoenix, who nods her head softly before looking back at the table, and squawks. The table grows silent as Spirit walks up to the large table and sits in his massive throne. He looks around at everyone present. His eyes stop on the changeling queen and he smiles softly.
"Hello, lord Spirit." She says to him with a bow of her head. Spirit grows curious.
"You seem to know of me, but I have not seen your kind of changeling before." He says as he climbs onto the table. He walks over to her around the cups and mugs that litter the table. "Just who are you?" He says to her. She nods her head.
"I am Queen Chrysalis of Emerald Changeling's. We are a peaceful race, but have been living in the Bad Lands as there is nowhere else we are welcomed to." She says. Spirit nods his head.
"You are welcome to my kingdom. I have much room to spare, and much gold to give to those who seek help within my jungle." He says. He says as he turns and walks back to his throne, but then stops. He turns his head towards her. "But if I find that it was YOU that attacked Canterlot two months ago, then I will make sure you are severely punished." He says.
Chrysalis nods her head softly.
"Yes. It is true that there were some rogue Changeling's that attacked Equestria, but I had no idea they were doing it so soon. I planned on sending a messenger to Celestia a week after I got news of it, but it would seem that I was far too late to the punch." She explains. She bows her head. "Forgive me, oh powerful Spirit." She prays. Spirit nods his head.
"You are forgiven, but only because I enjoy your company, as I can see Celestia does as well." He states before sitting down. Gilda's father looks to Spirit.
"Have you found a date for the wedding?" He asks.
"No as of yet, Iron Shield. We are simply waiting for a while. But, I accept your alliance, if it is still in good nature, hm?" He tells Iron Shield. He nods his head and grins at Spirit.
"But of course. I hope we may all become allies soon." Iron says hopefully.
"I am already an ally to Equestria, as I would like to have my kind accepted into their borders." Chrysalis says. Celestia and Spirit nod their heads lightly. "Thank you." She says.
"I believe we should see a demonstration of this...Spirit's power. We all have our own kind of magic, why would he be stronger than that of the goddesses?" Says a Minotaur. Spirit looks to Celestia who nods her head. Spirit looks back to the Minotaur.
"Very well. I shall show some of my power." He says before getting to his claws and hooves. "Follow me." He orders as he walks out of the room, the other leaders and their followers follow after him. Spirit pushes open to massive obsidian doors that reveals a 20 mile long training room. The roof of it is 30 miles high up.
The leaders and followers stare and gape at the massive room as they enter it. Spirit walks into the center of the room and looks to a Minotaur holding a staff.
"Come at me, mage." He orders. The mage Minotaur smirks and rushes at Spirit, who's sword forms at his side as he enters that adventurers form from a few months back. He stands onto his hind-legs and whips the sword out. He holds it at his side as the Minotaur rushes and sires an ice spear.
He slashes upward and cuts the spear in half, only to have ice needles fly in at him. He stomps his hoof and pillars of lava shoot up from the floor, melting the ice, but also heats up the floor. Twilight and her friends stare from next to Celestia, remembering that book and how the human moved.
Spirit points his sword out at the Minotaur as a ball of bright red and sickly yellow lava forms by the pillars and magic. He then jerks back as a massive beam flies out at the Minotaur, who casts a massive magical shield, blocking the lava-beam. He then spins around as the pillars of lava circle around himself like a tornado. He then roars and sends out lava-bullets out and slam against the shield, before he stomps onto the floor, making pikes flow out in a line towards the mage.
The mage jumps back and swings his staff, summoning magical clones of himself, however, they are destroyed by the wind that Spirit generates from a single flap of his wing. He looks at the mage before punching at the air, sending an air-bullet, hitting the mage directly in the chest, knocking him out.
"Pathetic." He hisses out. Celestia steps forward and smirks.
"Think you can still handle a goddess?" She asks. He smirks and squats slightly, a look of glee in his eyes.
"Let's find out!" He laughs out before the two flicker from sight and meet up in the middle of the room, punching each other. The two fly into opposite sides of the room, knocking over pillars and columns, before flickering back into the center of the room, catching each others punches this time. A static boom sounds out through gusts of wind coming off of them.
Spirit and Celestia both hold determined smirks on their face. Celestia then flickers back, while Spirit's tail stabs into where she just was. He chuckles.
"Still fast I see." He says before rolling off to the left right as Celestia appears with a fist held out, her form looks more like a Minotaur's then a ponies. She giggles.
"Indeed." She says before kicking at him, only to be blocked by his claws. "And your still stiff as ever." She teases. He nods.
"Only for the best." He teases back.
Celestia's fists and hooves glow in a holy gold and her horn does the same. She kicks and punches at Spirit, who treats her as a dancing partner, dodging and rolling off of attacks. Celestia punches at Spirit, only to have him jump and land on her fist with one hoof. She looks up and see's him smirking down at her
"Still incredibly fast for sure." He states before flickering behind her and punches the center of her back, making her fly into a column. "But still easy to confuse." He says. Celestia flickers behind him and knees him in the back, before his tail whips her away and onto the floor. "Hot." He says before placing a claw onto the center of her chest. "Still very VERY hot." He tells her.
"Well good." She giggles out before kicking him off of her before appearing behind him and kicking him into the floor, making it rise up and the room to shake. "Your still too easy to trick." She giggles out. Spirit's eyes glow in the smoke as they seem to glow brighter an brighter.
"Your right. Perhaps it is time I stopped going so easy." He says with a slightly booming voice. Celestia smirks.
"Then so will I." She says before holding a hand out, a serious look on her face as a massive axe forms. The pole is pearl-white and the axe head is the same shape as her cutie mark. She spins it around, making flames form around the edges of her wings and body, making a holy-outlining of herself.
"Then let's dance." He growls out as an explosion goes off and smoke booms into the room, obscuring the others visions. However, they hear the snarls of a massive beast as it thuds around the room, knocking into walls and knocking over columns. Nightmare shivers slightly, making the others grow a worried look for Celestia.
"GggrrrrRRRAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!" They hear Celestia scream out as a massive flas of light forms in the center of the room, sending the smoke away from everyone. They see Celestia stumbling around. She collapses and starts to fall, until Spirit flickers in and catches her.
"Easy there, Tia." He tells her. She giggles weakly.
"Had to hold back to not kill them all..." She tells him. He nods his head.
"I had to as well. You and Nightmare know how powerful my presence is when I unleash myself completely." Spirit says, making the others look to Nightmare who nods her head and rubs her chest gently with a claw where a scar is. They then turn back, but gasp as Celestia lunges in and kisses Spirit deeply, taking him by surprise, but by no means not loving it. He kisses her deeply back and his tail flicks a few times.
The two then separate, both having glints in their eyes. Nightmare giggles.
"Looks like we have another spot to the harem, don't we?" She asks. Celestia nods her had softly, the two never looking away from the others eyes. Spike then flickers between them, his body ever changing to catch up to his age. He now has separate arms and wings again, however, his body is taller than Spirit's is when on all fours. He looks between the two and smirks.
"Could I be best man?" He asks. Spirit's left eye twitches before sighing and patting his head gently, giving a soft smile.
"When the day comes. Sure." He tells Spike, who 'YES!'s and flickers off somewhere in the castle, Rarity follows suite, hoping to be with her prince as much as she can. Spirit chuckles softly. Nightmare, Gila and Celestia look to Spirit.
"A wedding, hm?" They all ask with grins. Spirit gulps.
"Er...what?" He asks.
"A large wedding, at some point." Nightmare says. "I am sure we'll ALL be having your children soon though~" She teases with a wink, making him blush.
"Stop that." He orders. She only giggles and leans in, but she is cut off as the Minotaur ruler walks up to them.
"I must say that you have our help, Lord Spirit." He says.
"And you are?" Spirit asks.
"Steel Horn. Lord Spirit." Steel says to the Kirin king. Spirit nods.
"I see, then I accept your alliance." Spirit states. Quake walks over to Spirit with a smile.
"my friend, you have my assistance, always." He tells Spirit, who smiles and nods his head lightly.
"Thank you, my friend." Spirit tells Quake, who nods his head and vanishes via teleport. Steel also leaves by via mages in a teleport as well. The Gargoyles nod their heads, sending psychic messages that they join the mountain kingdom and Equestria, before teleporting through the shadows. The Griffins leave through their strange magic by making a portal to their castle and leaving. The Zebra's also join and vanish via strange Zebra magic.
"That went well." Gilda says, Spirit nods his head lightly before turning and looking around the room.
"Shit." He curses, seeing the room being destroyed. He walks around the room on his hind-legs, his body is more like how Celestia's is now, how he has hands instead of claws, his scales and fur is now hair and clothing. His muzzle is shorter and his eyes smaller. Celestia stands next to Spirit, she has a nervous smile on her face, not muzzle which confuses the ponies, as she rubs the back of her head.
"Sorry about that hon..." She says. Spirit sighs before chuckles.
"It's fine." He tells her. "You aren't hurt are you? I didn't hit you too hard, did I?" He asks. She shakes her head softly.
"No, I am fine. Soar, yes, but hurting? No." She tells him with a giggle. "You always seem to care about how much damage to deal, are you scared of hurting and immortal goddess of the sun, hm?" She asks. Spirit sighs.
"You know I am capable of killing gods, my ranking is high enough to be placed beside you." He tells her. She nods her head with a giggle.
"True, but you are now MINE." She tells him, before giving him a peck on the cheek and looking down at her figure. "I think I'll remain this way, better to get around, and I look good." She tells him. He nods his head.
"You look good indeed!" Nightmare giggles out. Her form then looks similar to Celestia's, but her hair is long and black, her scales become strange cloths that humans would wear to a beach. "But I look better." She states as she rubs her breasts seductively at the two. Spirit blushes and his nose bleeds slightly before he looks away quickly.
"Your all gorgeous." He tells the three of them. Gilda giggles slightly.
"Sure, them more so, but I believe you like my looks just as much." She states. Spirit nods his head.
"Of course!" Spirit says with a small smile. He then stops and grows a serious look on his face, before Spike flies through the doorway and Spirit catches him with a hand, making a blast of air flow behind him, cracking and breaking the floor apart. Celestia turns only to be punched in the face of what appears to be a human covered in black crystals.
Spirit growls and flickers before the crystal covered human, shattering it like it was nothing. However, it then reforms and lets out a strange gurgling for before it lunges and bites at Spirit, who flickers away from it and watches the thing rush at him, it's decaying hands swinging around wildly as it bites at him repeatedly. He then flips forward and slams his hoof into it's skull, smashing it's head into dust.
The body then drops to the floor and turns to ash as a blue glowing mist floats into the air, before vanishing. Spirit sighs in relief, before his blood goes cold. If that thing managed to get past his guards and children, wouldn't there be more? He rushes out of the room and stops in his throne room, where he see's those strange Changeling's from before beating on Chrysalis, who somehow managed to leave the room without him knowing about it.
He flickers and appears standing before her, as the Changeling's explode with large gashes all over their forms, blood spewing out all over the floor, covering it in black ooze. He then looks down and see's Chrysalis is beaten and cut up, as well. Her left fore-hoof is broken, while the right is missing.
"Chrysalis, are you okay?" He asks. She opens her eyes and looks up at him, she forces herself to focus onto his new form. She shakes her head and coughs, before looking over and gasping, tears form in her eyes. Spirit looks where she is, and see's her Changeling's being devoured by the other Changeling's and even those crystalized humans.
He picks her up gently and flickers back to Celestia and the others. He hands her to Nightmare.
"Take care of her." Spirit orders. Nightmare nods her head as she holds Chrysalis like human mothers did to their children. He then flickers back into his throne room, where the two strange beings charge at him, a feral look in their eye as they drool strange black goo.
He pulls out his sword and swings upwards, sending out a magical wave of energy that kills the large hoard, before a second hoard charges in at him. He points a finger at them and fires a magical lava-beam that consumes them all, before yet a third hoard rushes in. He growls in annoyance.
'How many of these things can there be!?!?' He thinks to himself. Spirit then notices that Chrysalis's death Changeling Guards grow crystal spuds, and rise back up from the dead. His eyes widen and he looks back towards the hoards, shaking his head from side to side. 'No fucking way...NO FUCKING WAY!!' He yells in his mind before he hears a scream from behind him.
He turns and see's Rarity is being pinned down by a Changeling. It snaps at her face as she tries to push it off of her. He flickers and appears next to her, his sword upward and pointed behind him, the changeling then splits in two halves, before splitting into nothingness in a matter of seconds.
He then spins around and sends out crescent shaped cuts through the air that splits the Changeling's, infected Changeling's and crystalized humans into pieces, however, more and more just appear from the crystals that fall onto the ground. He growls in annoyance, however, a blue knife flies past his head, before millions of knives fly around his form and turn the hoards into nothing but ash.
He turns around, and his eyes widen as Rarity is now covering in armor, her tail is much like his own, her back has large angelic wings as height is the same as his own on all fours. Her fore-hooves are now claws, diamond knives and other array of weapons are floating around her, as well as at her sides.
Her eyes are somewhat slit and her Element as a large slit eye in the center of it. He stares at her as she kicks an infected Changeling in-half before dropping and doing the slits and throwing out fifty diamond knives out and hitting the creatures in their foreheads, making them turn into ash, crystals and all.
She spins as she gets up and cuts more into bits before spreading out her large angelic wings and sending out white glowing feathers that cut the creatures to pieces. He then watches her Element flash and she passes out, but her form remains the same. Only one word comes to his mind that he phrases.
"What?"
