My Little Sinner Ch. 10: The Dragon Army Cometh

This space I find myself is nothing, but an inky black void.  A dark world filled with an uncomfortable silence and terrible loneliness.  Is this my current punishment?  No…It isn’t.  When I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did.  My brain was consumed by a horrible pain as it was raped by the memories of my previous lives.  The recollected moments ejaculated all the pain, all torture, and all the sorrow I had given and received during those two generations.

My first life: I’m truly born; I devour worlds, drove races to pure insanity, brought extinction to numerous species, and slaughtered millions that fought back.  I had spread so much chaos, destruction, and death just to satisfy my own amusement, vent my anger, and when I felt dark.  Overall, quadrillions had been massacred by me.  Then Reiku appears to stop me; with the end result of him killing me.

My second life: I’m reborn, but with no memory of what I once was.  When I returned, I was shaped into a human so that I may proceed through life undetected.  I grew up into a young adult, living in a happy bliss until I discovered my dormant powers.  Reiku returns to finish me once again, yet I survived with the cost of losing the one person I loved and cared for the most.  I grew dark and wanted nothing, but revenge against Reiku.  I fought, destroyed, and even killed, just to confront Reiku.  I even battled against my best friend; the one man I considered my brother.  Zin.  In the end, I found Reiku, but the final results were the same and I lost.

And here I am now: I’ve been reborn, I’ve regained my powers, Reiku attacks; and I go on a quest for revenge.  Hell, I’ve even reunited with Zin in the dimension where it all began; he’s the same age as I am and he is still fighting against me for the same reason in my previous life.  History repeats….Except it has been a lot crueler this time.

Deciding it was time, I unsealed my eyes from these dark memories.  My vision was greeted with a light brown wood ceiling with a single hanging fixture acting as the light source.  Lazily turning my head to the right than the left, I took notice of the surrounding bookshelves, stacked with variant literatures.  After seeing them, I easily knew where I was; but I wasn’t done looking around.  There was some moist pressure on my chest, so averting my gaze downwards, I could find my clothes replaced with some icepacks and the contents inside them already melted.  I removed them from their placements and felt around my body.  My mass is burning; it feels like a furnace.

“So you’re finally awake…”  Twilight said.  Shifting my direction, I could see all the Elements of Harmony and Spike observing me.  I sat up and prepared myself for any and all questions they would ask.

“We can easily determine that you’re not human, so what are you?”  Twilight continued.  Straight to the point…

“That leviathan you saw, that is my true form…I’m…..I’m the God of Chaos….”  My answered stunned the ponies, but the one who is taking this the hardest is actually me.  By admitting this, I feel….I know I’m rejecting my human self; the form I grew up in and believing what I was.  But furthermore, I’m accepting Reiku’s belief about me being a beast…

“Isn’t it the God of Chaos’s job to spread chaos and destruction?”  Spike cautiously added.  His question raised further concern in the mares as they looked at the purple dragon than turned to me in quick succession.

Why did you have say that Spike?  I’m not a monster.  I’m not a monster!.....I am a monster…Damn it.  Damn it!  Damn it!  DAMN IT!  DAMN IT!  DAMN IT!  DAMN IT!

“Inrei, stop it!”  Rainbow order.  The first thing Dash has said to me all week, but why that?  I turned my sight to the two unicorns next to her and saw that both Rarity’s and Twilight’s horns were lit up by their magic.  Shifting my gaze to the right, I noticed the mixed auras encasing my arm along with Applejack restraining it back.  Next I glanced downwards at my knee and noted the freshly formed fist size bruise.

Relaxing my limb, I indicated I had calmed down.  The three mares were hesitant, but they removed their grip on my appendage.  After I was allowed my arm back, I glided my newly freed hand over the minor injury and when it passed, the contusion was healed.

“You try to do no wrong.  You try to do what is right.  But your past sins catch up with you…and tumble fate upon you…and there is nothing you can do.”  I muttered as my hands started to shake.

“That’s not true.  You can always change fate.”  Applejack objected.

“You don’t know…You don’t even fucking know the horrors I’ve caused!  Those innocent screams of terror…Those looks of fear…And all those deaths……Forever burned into my memory!  A dark time; a terrible time!  All because I couldn’t think clearly….”  I could feel a single tear escape.  “I’ve died and been born anew, but I have been suffering because of my past life.  Pain and sorrow have plagued me because of those deeds and what I am….I never asked for this….I never fucking asked for this!  I didn’t want to be the God of Chaos!”  I could no longer hold the rest of my tears back; they soon joined the first one.

I hate myself!  I hate it because I had no full control for the outcome of this life.  I hate it because I don’t want to be a harbinger of destruction.  I hate it because I don’t want to be a killer.  I hate it because I’m a sinner.  I hate because I’ve lost just about everything.

Am I not allowed to experience true happiness, because of what I am?  Am I not allowed to live a peaceful life?  Am I not given a choice?

I want my life to be positive!  I want happiness!  I want peace!  And I for damn sure want to choice how to proceed in life!

But I guess it doesn’t matter.  Since no matter what good deeds you do, the bad will always outweigh it.  And consider what I have done; Karma has set it so that I’ll only experience negativity.

“Inrei…”  Dash frowned.

I looked up to match sight; it hurt me even more to see her worry.  And it also made me realize that the same fate may happen to Rainbow as well.  I’ve lost Squads 8 and 12, Captain Finn, Karen, Armony, Harold, and Aurelia.  They were all innocent casualties and I lost them all to Reiku; just because I’m that monster.

“I don’t want to lose you too Dash…because of what I am.”  I sniffed.  Feeling the urge, I lifted my hand in order to place it against Rainbow’s cheek and rub that soft blue face of hers.  But I stopped myself; I couldn’t.  I don’t know what she thinks of me now.  Dash may not want to be associated with a creature like me, now that she knows that I’m a sinful being.

“You beat yourself up for your dark past, but instead, why don’t you atone for your wrongs.”  Rarity stated.

“It’s not as easy for me as you think.”  I countered.  “I want to redeem myself, but with the amount of lives I’ve slain, it makes for a difficult task.  Even in this life, I exhibited signatures of my previous self during my time as a soldier.”

“But it’s the duty of a soldier to protect and serve for the betterment of nations.  Surely you must have done some good.”  The snow white unicorn added.

“A soldier without a purpose is just a murderer.  And that is what I am.  I didn’t join the military for those reasons you mentioned; I joined because I was a fighter and a destroyer.”  I informed.

My response threw back not just Rarity, but the rest of the equines.  The longer this goes on, the worse I feel.  I can’t hide behind my mask this time; the mares placed that with the rest of my clothes on a nearby chair.  I only have one choice.

“Could you all leave me alone for the moment…?”  I looked the six ponies and one reptile with my wet, begging eyes in hopes that they’ll understand.

Twilight stepped forward and placed her left hoof on my right knee.  “Just let us know if you need anything else.”

I nodded in agreement than brought my left hand to my face and covered my eyes like my mask would.  The wood floor quietly clunked and clopped as my friends disappeared into the upper level; giving me the time I asked for.  Except Rainbow stayed a few minutes extra; staring at me with those concerned eyes while contemplating.  Soon after she drooped up to the others.

I do not know how long I have been staring out the window, but I can say it has been a while.  My tears have finished drying, but my sorrow still fills my thoughts.  I grew up wanting to protect the ones I loved, but look how that turned out.  What good am I?  I’m a god and I can’t even do right apparently.  But I guess being the Deity of Pandemonium, I’ve done perfect.

I hate it!

As a human, I grew up believing in doing what is good and helping others.  Instead I do the opposite.  And it’s just not the universe I came from where I spread my hatred; it is every dimension I have been to.

A clear bell echoed across the land, followed by an explosion just as loud.  I could feel a heavy pressure and very massive spiritual force emitting its presence like numerous lighthouses shining along a foggy peak.  This power….I’m so familiar with this enormous power.

When I transformed and released all my energy, I acted as a homing beacon and gave away my position.  I have royally screwed things over and fucked up big time.  Reiku knows I’m alive and now he cometh….I have just brought my war to Equestria.

Fine!  Let him come!  This just gives me the opportunity to vent my pain onto the so retched being that is my nemesis.  Prepare yourself, Reiku Lutuda; for I shall show no mercy!

The only things I grabbed were my pants, mountain boots, and the De’la Windbloom Mask.

As I proceeded through the town, the only sounds were the many slams of doors and windows as the locals encased themselves in their idea of safety.  The ponies that didn’t hide, stared in shock and awe at the object plummeting into the Everfree Forest.  After I fitted my mask on and summoned Apocalypto, I turned my full gaze at the entity.  It is a bohemian azure fireball, one mile in diameter.  Somewhere in there is my true objective.  And the reason why it is so massive is because Reiku is bringing his army with him.

I have waded through 500,000 miles of blood, and if I have to travel through another 500,000 just to fight you to the death and achieve peace.  Then I will oblige.  I sprinted towards the upcoming battle.

Here is where I am currently; standing on top of a large hill overlooking the ocean of the human disguised warriors.  After one soldier noticed me, he alerted my presence to the rest.  As I scanned the area, I noted that the whole Dragon Army had to be here; even the Dragos Elementos are present.  The Dragos Elementos are the first five souls created by Reiku.  They are also the strongest of the entire Dragon Army and the elite guards of Reiku.  They consist of Lith, Bith, Dahlia, Kronis, and Ramis.  But as I searched the crowd, I couldn’t find their lord and master; the one I wanted.

Lith was the first one to be created and he is also the strongest of the five.  His appearance is exactly the same as mine and Reiku’s except his eyes are a golden brown and his hair is a silver blonde that reaches his shoulder blades; same length as his master.  His clothes are that of blue jeans and a closed button up brown overcoat.  Side note about Lith: just like mine and Reiku’s name; Lith’s name is an actually term in the Dragon language.  His name translates into the word judgment.  Also about this soul is, even though Lith has a conscious, Lith didn’t start as a life made by Reiku.  Lith was originally Reiku’s second weapon; the blade he used when he didn’t draw his spirit weapon.  Reiku then created an assisting force of his, and made Lith; the personified form of his physically crafted scythe.  Lith is also the right hand man to Reiku.

Bith was the second to be concocted.  Bith has dawned himself in knight’s armor which is as dark as his midnight black hair.  Since he has no helmet to go with his protective clothes, you can easily see the single scar on his right cheek, his brush cut haircut, and his emerald green, narrow eyes.  Side note about Bith:  The only knowledge I contain of on him is, even though he was the second born from Reiku, he is the first that Reiku let live his own life until his lord returned to train him into the Dragos Elementos.

Dahlia was the third to be created and the first female.  Her apparel is green jeans and a plain white tank top.  Her dirty blonde hair is the same length as mine and it hides her ocean blue eyes.  Her middle-aged face carried a hateful scowl as she glared at me.  Side note about Dahlia: aside from Reiku, Dahlia has a personal reason for wanting me dead.  That is because Dahlia started a relationship with a human; even had children.  During my dark time, I assaulted her and accidentally killed her family in the attack.

Kronis was the fourth created and also the youngest appearing.  She appears as a twelve year old with purple hair while wearing a lavender Gothic Lolita frill dress.  Side note on Kronis: even though she has existed well over billions of years, she acts childish, but that maybe a rouge to hide her strength and power.

And lastly is Ramis.  Ramis appears as a sixteen year old dressed in black jeans and a black button down dress shirt.  He has grass green, medium long hair that hides his dark brown eyes.  Also, on his left cheek is a dark blue, triangular tattoo; shaped in the same formation that is the scar that is Reiku’s emblem.  Side note on Ramis: he’s gay.  That’s all I know on him.

“Where is Reiku!?”  I demanded.

“He’s not here, that’s for sure.”  Ramis arrogantly replied.

“Where is he!?”  I repeated.

“Some place where he isn’t dealing with this meanie!”  Kronis answered in her upbeat tone.

“So he sends his men to deal with me again.  Do you not remember our previous fights?”  I growled.

“We do, but that was when we fought alone.  Divided we fall, united we stand, as proven by our last confrontation.”  Bith objected in his noble tone.

“Things are different now.”

“Talk is cheap; we’ll end this right here!”  Dahlia snapped.

Hone cova nal Dahlia. (Calm yourself Dahlia)” Lith began in his usual tone, which seems to lack emotions.  He then opened up his right hand and materialized a scythe of pure light.  The rest of the Dragon Army followed and summoned their spirit weapons in an orchestra of energy crackling; all of them are scythes as well.  That is because their souls are in the death cycle currently.

How a spirit weapon works is once the entity gains control of their spiritual energy, they can materialize it into a weapon.  Just like a cutie mark, spirit weapons are a representation of their owner; no two are alike.  But these weapons eventually change; each stage representing the cycle of life.  A weak and meager soul would start out with something small and brittle; that would be birth.  But as the person grows and becomes stronger, their spiritual weapon will gradually evolve into a better weapon.  This will continue until the individual’s soul enters the death cycle; which will always be a scythe.  The amount of power that one would posses during this stage would be considered a demigod, and there have only been two souls to reach this stage; Zin and Reiku’s other human apprentice.  But the cycle doesn’t end at the death stage; once the person hits a point of realization, both their soul and weapon will enter a rebirth; the final stage.  During this stage, the spirit weapon will take its true form, which could be anything.  The only drawback to these weapons is the fact that they are made up of the individual’s life force.  So if the spirit weapon were to be broken or destroyed temporarily, it will deal massive damage to the person.

“Wrath, you have proven yourself to be a danger to the universe; if there is no chance for peace, than we must stop you.”  Lith continued.  I readied myself.

I lunged downwards into the large open field that contained the humanoid sea of my enemies; they followed their superiors in their charge.  I brought my zweihander back and swung it forward with all my might and rage; straight into the blocking weapon of Lith’s.  My strength outmatched his and I pushed him back about fifty feet into the crowd that soon surrounded me.  If they want to do that then fine!  I’ll kill them all!

I brought my blade back and smashed it through the scythe of someone that tried defending.  Apocalypto sliced into the poor fool’s neck and went down at an angle into the man’s chest like butter.  Retracting my weapon back, I pulled the blood and gore with and threw it into the victim’s fellow warriors.  With them distracted, I summoned an energy blast and shot the group of five; forcing them back.  Next I brought my sword under me; slashing the tip through another soldier’s middle.  After that, I repelled another enemy’s attack and shoved my weapon in her gut region; the blood pooled out and fell like a small water fall.  Then I turned my attention back to the previous person and forced my hands into his new slit.  I tore him open and ripped him in half, causing his organs to explode out into a crimson firework with various war cries acting as the bang.

A group of twenty leaped at me, but I counted by forming a massive shadow tendril from the ground and had it spread out tentacles to catch them.  The dark appendages coiled and penetrated the bodies of its victims in different spots, then started ripping the limbs off from their joints.  The screams of pain soon died once the blood loss was too great.

I twisted around, dodging another attack.  Next I grabbed the shoulder of this warrior and threw him into the hilt of Apocalypto, which lay still in that one corpse on the ground.  My force was so great, that my weapon pushed through the back and out the chest, catching his heart; it fell to the dirt with a moist splat.  I placed my foot the lifeless bodies and pulled out my sword.  Spinning my blade around, I defended against multiple strikes in every direction with lightning speed reaction.  I have become too powerful and fast for them to handle; not a single one will be able to hurt me!

A young battler charged me; insignificant soul.  I grabbed his head; next I launched a beam out the victim and into his fellow battle brothers.  The man’s body dropped with a moist thud.  All that was left from the neck up was a pink and black area that squirted a little blood.

Bending the will of the earth, I took control of numerous boulders and slammed them down with such power, that once they crushed those unlucky enough to flee from the attack, became puddles of blood and flatten intestines.  More of the Dragon Army thrust forward at me, only for me to greet them by swinging my zweihander into one and peeling it across into the others; turning six into to twelve.  These dead bodies soon stained the grass with their red liquid and lifeless eyes.

I embedded Apocalypto into the ground and conjured up my unrelenting energy into both hands.  I danced, twisted, spun, and twirled as I launch blast after blast.  Various colored explosions consumed and diminished a good portion of the opposing forces.  No one could push past my all directional attack, it seems.  Instead, those hit by it just fall to the earth; void of life now.

Afterwards I levitated my sword and chucked into this flood.  My blade shish kabob about three battlers before becoming a blunt object and continued to knock over my foes.  With my free hands, I forced into the neck of a young woman and threw it up, ripping her head off like a bottle opener.  I lowered the corpse and took control of her former blood; shaping it into thousand of deadly projectile needles.  With this attack, I injured ten and fell two.  With the body empty, I tossed it into the others.

Another member of the Dragon Army tried flanking me, but I blocked and broke his blade of his scythe with my left forearm.  With pain distracting him, I punched straight into his chest cavity, grabbed his heart, and plunged out his back.  I pulled back and freed the still beating organ of its host until the tubes snapped apart, spewing out blood all over me.

I took hold of my sword once again and wedged the edge into the side of another soldier, brought it out, spun around to sever his legs.  With another dead, I then summoned enormous stone pillars to pierce my foes from beneath.  Those unfortunate enough made the image look like a dark Christmas tree; with the corpses acting as lights and the intestines that blew out as streamers.

The enemy began countering by firing energy blasts in a mortar fashion, to which the surrounding forces fled to avoid getting hit.  Extending my left hand, I too fired bursts of my powers to oppose the attack; leaving a cloud of dust and smoke in the explosions.  I’m not going to fall for this trick again.  By swinging Apocalypto, I unleashed a devastating spiritual wave attack.  It flung into the cloud and was following by a blasting sound and the dropping of bodies.  Making sure that they are dead, I fired bolts of lightning upon the bodies.  They convulsed, but eventually stopped moving.

Someone tried striking my back, but dodged and hooked my foot around the back of his head and kicked him to his knees.  I grabbed the back of his head and his chin, then twisted it with enough force that not only did his neck break, but it spun around to the point to where the tissue started tearing and throwing out the crimson liquid; turning him into a makeshift sprinkler.

I launched upwards and took flight and performed aerial attacks and strafing runs of power beams and fire throwing.  Some of the army, followed by Ramis and Dahlia chased after me until they swarmed my being.  I defended myself by spinning around in all directions, letting my blade hit whatever it pleased.  Metal clanged.  Skin bled.  And death took the former life filled.

I concentrated and created a forceful explosion, knocking back the warriors.  I grabbed someone’s leg with such might, the bones slowly broke.  I swung the person around and slammed him into others like a club.  Once I had enough of this ‘weapon’ I sliced my sword from his crotch to his nose.  Then I wrapped the string of a corpse around a woman who in return gave me a look of horror as she gained a bloody scarf.  The blood splashed her in the face to which she coughed out.  After that I strangled her and pulled out the organs of her former battle brother and forced it down her throat until she became unresponsive.

I could feel something grab my flowing hair; turning around revealed it was Ramis attempting to grapple me.  Swinging Apocalypto, I cut off his left arm from elbow and up.  I brought up my sword to finish the job, but was pulled back the other members of the Dragos Elementos.  I blasted them back and turned back to Ramis, who just finished regenerating his arm.  Pointing my free hand, a small twilight orange triangular scar formed in the air.  The mark of Reiku; the mark of a god.  After that, a blackish brown sphere formed.  I fired the attack at Ramis, but Lith appeared and deflected the ball away.  When it hit the distant land, the explosion was a kilometer wide with gale force shockwave.

The five charged me, to which I chanced their attacks.  Even though I had five scythes pushing against me, I stood my ground and forced them off.  When the Dragos Elementos regain their balance, their weapons glowed in an intense light as the sky was devoured by dark clouds.  The energy emitted from their power is extraordinary, that it is disrupting the nature here.  I soon followed the technique, thus completely darkening the area except for our weapons that brightened the area.

The six of us lunged at each other, clashing our destructive blades.  Upon contact, it created electricity and a massive eruption of power; forcing everyone back down to the ground.  Lith and I landed fine on our feet, but everyone else crashed from the impressing force.

Lith then positioned both hands and released a barrage of beams, blasts, and element attacks towards me.  I lifted off; three feet into the air and rammed straight through it, taking the blunt of the attack, but took no damage.  When I reached the current leader, some of his subordinates stepped forth.  So I slashed a wave into the earth; creating a minor push as the strike disabled them temporarily.  But I had to jump back as more scythe heads came speeding through the dirt cloud.  I bent backwards to avoid getting hit again and could clearly see the blade an inch above my mask.

As I dodged backwards, I managed to grab a young woman by the hair; she let out a pained yelp.  I underhand swung her into the air and readied my zweihander.  Another male tried to block my attack, but his noble cause was for naught as my blade horizontally slashed him in half and showered me in his blood.  The girl on the other hand, received a gash across her stomach.  Others rushed over to aid, so I threw my sword at them; my blade caught one straight in the face and continued on.  The body staggered for a bit as the point from his collar bone and up split into two, making him look like the letter Y.  It distracted the others long enough for me to reach the injured.

Forcing my hands into the affliction, I grabbed as many of her intestines and organs as I could, and yanked them out like a kid opening a birthday gift.  Those who heard her dying screams ran at me again.  Once I finished tearing out her inner body, I charged up the lifeless skin and kicked it into the crowd; when it was close enough, it blew up in a red mist, killing those caught in the liquidy blast.

Extending out my right index and middle finger, I scanned it across the dwindling ocean of warriors.  Following the path I pointed to, a large bolt of lightning struck and dragged along the area; annihilating all in its unstoppable path.  I didn’t care that it continued on past the designated spot; it only hurt them more.

I was soon surrounded again, but that was short lived.  I plunged my sword into the chest of one; bent back while the body dangled on my blade, bashing and crushing the skull of the guy behind me; realigned myself by bringing down and vertically splitting another in half; swinging Apocalypto; catching the two women and three men; tearing the rest of the bodies into various pieces.  Limbs, their crimson liquid, and internal organs flew over the ground for seven feet until splashing on the ground.

Next I made a 360 degree turn while unleashing a tsunami of a spiritual wave attack.  The terrified screams were muffled out by the roar of my deadly strike.

The enemies tried countering me again by releasing another set of mortar strikes.  This time I waited till the blasts were a meter close.  Once there, I took control of them all and forced them back at the attackers.  I estimated about half couldn’t escape.

I summoned more shadow tentacles and my abominations snag a few victims.  Like last time, I had it tear and rip apart those caught except I started by removing the heads first.  The closest one to me was brought even closer as I slid my hand into that warm wet mesh of muscle and pulled out her spinal cord.  I used my powers to sharpen and stiffen the bone into a second sword.  I used my main blade to defend and repel while the bone sword was temporarily used for offense.  It was a fun weapon as it easily slit the throats of thirteen foes.  For those who managed to grasp a few more seconds of life, I thrust Apocalypto into their gut and forced it out by jerking to the left with the large flat end, causing it to tear out the soldier’s insides in a red wet explosion; leaving the mess to splat on the dirt.

I became slowly distracted by the minor adrenaline, I didn’t notice the fool who disarmed me of both my weapons.  As a result for that, I grabbed him by the throat, dug my fingers into it, and ripped it open; squirting more blood onto me.  Another jumped me, but I grabbed her head with my left hand and slammed it with my right; breaking the skull and squishing it like a water balloon.

After the body fell, I forcefully stole two scythes from the enemy and twirled one around in a propeller fashion then tossed it forward, causing it to saw through at least two battlers.  The blood trailed from the splitting bodies by a few inches to feet as the two strips collapsed.

With the other scythe, I hooked it around the heads of nine enemies and decapitated them.  When the heads hit the ground, I kicked them around like soccer balls into the goal posts of the chest regions of others.  Some guy was stupid enough to actually grab and hold onto one of the heads.  I greeted his stupidity by diagonally slashing into the idiot; the top half slid down at the angle the cut was set.

Another man lunged at me.  He was greeted by a back head smash from the scythe’s handle and fell on his stomach.  As he tried to get up, I stomped on hit back and slid the blade underneath him.  He released a horrified gasp as I leveled down the weapon; causing it to pierce and tear the warrior in half from the neck down.  As he split, his arms gave out, causing the corpse to crash and push out his internals.

With this fool dead, I turned around 180 degrees and jammed the staff handle into the left eye socket of a poor woman and left it there.  After that, I called my zweihander back and continued with the onslaught of sword strikes; leaving red streams to fill the air with each slash.

Both Bith and Dahlia leaped at me again, but I deflected their attacks again.  Do they not see that this is a far different result of our previous fight?  Both swung again, to which I blocked again, but this time they actually managed to push me back a few feet.  When I landed, I unexpectedly ducked down because something landed on my back.  Soon after that, I felt my appendages being weighted down.  Turning to this annoying force, I saw some brave souls trying to suppress me.  More and more dog piled atop until I counted at least twenty-one people jumping on me.

Madadel quick!  Kokuroh hoho’tu nadchel!   (No don’t!  Everyone get off him now!)”  Lith ordered.

If they were wise, they would listen to their superior.

I brought both my arms into my chest and focused myself.  After that, I blew up an impressive burst that threw everyone off me.  Next I sped through to each warrior, slicing and slashing in an overkill kind of way; the total time it took wasn’t even a millisecond.  I landed and was followed by red rain, nothing more.

I figured I was bathed in too much blood now; so I glided my free hand over myself while collecting the crimson liquid into a sphere.  Once I cleaned myself, I turned the blood ball into a snake like whip.

Then I snapped it around the neck of one man, but didn’t strangle him.  Instead, I threw him across fifteen feet into another of his companions.  Next I spun and coiled it around another young man’s neck, and this time, severed his head off with the pull.  As much fun a whip sounds, I have no interest in such a weapon.  So I dispersed the rest of the liquid and bended its will by forcing it down the mouths of eight foes and drowned them in their fellow’s blood.

More poor souls tried flanking me again; to this I repelled the strikes and broke the heads off their scythes.  I twisted around and began smashing the edge of Apocalypto into the right collar of a woman like a damn whack-a-mole machine.

Someone tried jumping my back again, and again I turn to him.  Grapping the sap by the collar of his shirt; I gathered spiritual energy into my grip and released the burst in a black and red fiery ball; burning most of this man’s front.  He hit the dirt with a hard thud, but cleared the way for my peripheral.  In that line of sight, I saw three other figures in the distance, staring at me.  First thought of them meant nothing until I completely focused on them.  They were a cyan pegasus, lavender unicorn, and tan earth pony.  Why the fuck are these three here!?

I gave a psychic push upon the Dragon Army behind me then sprinted to the three equines in a flash.

“GET DOWN, NOW!”  I commanded.

The mares oscillated between me and each other, then obliged.  Looking back up, I noticed we were already surrounded as the enemy readied to swing their blades.  I stood in the middle above the three and quickly deflected each attack as fast as I could.  I would flip, bend, twist, and curl while swinging and defending the helpless ponies.  I need to force the Dragon Army back if I want to safely assist these three.  Twenty-five blade heads came crashing down from above, to which the force pushed me down to the point of kneeling on top of the unicorn.  I could feel this pony shaking with fear against my inner thigh.

That does it!  Using my leg strength, I managed to lunge upwards and threw to group off.  Using gale force wind, I pushed the opposing warriors away in one direction while holding onto the equines.  After that, I used a mental burst to create a circle around the mares.  Next I embedded Apocalypto into the ground, near the pony in the middle.  This materialized a strong, protective barrier.

“Do not leave the confines of this ring!” I ordered.

Launching myself forward, I brought my fist to the face of one, but the force was great enough to knock him off his ass; so I continued on, taking out seven others with my single punch.  While in the fray, I continued leaving nonlethal blows.

I can’t kill anymore; I don’t want the equines accidentally getting hurt and I don’t want to traumatize the three ponies any further; I feel they have seen enough now.

I brought up my left foot to hook around the head of one battler; with that I spun myself up and kicked off so I could land back at the scared mares.  Once there, I removed my mask and began charging up for a Kazejin (Emotion burst attack.)  This technique is the most dangerous and deadly set of moves that Reiku and I know.  The vitality formed inside my mouth as I inhaled more energy.

Lith caught onto my intention called his fellow companions back then leveled off both hands, preparing to withstand the oncoming strike.  Lith want to take a chance against my power, than fine, let him!  I continue powering my attack until a very dark brown orb filled with rage, formed at the base of my teeth and grew to six inches.  The fearsome intensity began absorbing external forces as well, as wind and earth starting being devoured by the power.  It is ready.

I jerked and tossed my head around right before I fired the devastating attack.  Surprisingly, Lith managed to grasp the blast, but the following force behind it, rapidly pushed him back twenty feet.  As expected, that Dragos Elementos couldn’t fend off the full blunt of the attack; so he threw the energy into deep space as tumbled down.

I quickly glanced up at the blast that seemed to appear as a star now, then back to Lith.  The look on his face, he was assessing the current situation.

“Everyone down, right now!”  Lith ordered as he fired his own blast at the one he repelled.  He then created a force field around him and the Dragon Army.

Even though both attacks are very distant from this planet, you could easily see the explosion; it looked like a star that went super nova.  Following that was a very suppressing shockwave that uprooted and knocked over many trees when making contact with the planet.  I easily stood my ground while everyone else hid under their cover.

The Dragon Army cautiously regained their stature, but no forward strike followed after.  Instead chatter amongst the crowd.  One even asked Lith on what to do.

Maorune tok’no suu’tiet.  Owlola buqac, hun zada’hal siuw lep vax.  (For now we retreat.  From that power presented, I shall have to return to truly see if he has regained his full strength.)”  Lith responded.  Soon afterwards, all of the Dragon Army was encased in an azure flame before turning into blue orbs.  All the little fireballs then dispersed into nothingness.  The battle was over now.  All that was left were me, the three mares, and the blood stained land that has burning orange orbs illuminating it.

This light is the last of the life from those killed today.  It is formed once the owner of a spirit weapon dies while his or hers weapon is drawn.  With no host, the blade will break apart into these balls before fading away.

I sheathed Apocalypto back into my soul and confronted the ponies.  “Why the hell are you here!?  It’s dangerous!”  I glared at Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash.

“That’s the reason why, because it is dangerous!  We came to make sure it wouldn’t be a threat to Ponyville!  But what about you!?  You claim to be tired of chaos, yet here you are bein’ all hypocritical!”  Applejack exclaimed.  She’s right.

“Your words are true….Sorry for snapping at you like that.”

“You should be!  We’re not acting like the bad guys here; you are!”  She continued scolding.

“You don’t understand…There’s no backing away now, so I’ll tell you the truth.  I am tired of being a killer and a monster, but I haven’t been given peace yet.  The reason why I still fight is because I have been on a quest for revenge.  These people you saw, these bodies you see are not humans, but they are servants to the one I want to kill….And the reason why I want to see this man dead is because he is the one that made me what I am and he has brought me so much pain.”  As I relived my hard life in my memories, a few tears started crawling down my face.  “This man; Reiku, created me by mistake.  So he then wanted to right to wrong of bringing destruction into the universe and has tried to kill me; he succeeded twice.  When I was reborn as a human, I was just an orphan until I grew up into a young adult.  I had no memories of what I once was, and was happy with the friends I made…I considered them the family I never had…..In fact, the one woman I loved so much was even pregnant with my child.  And then….and then….Reiku appeared to finish me for good.  I survived his attack, but my family….didn’t….They were innocent casualties…unneeded deaths………Even since then, I have been searching for Reiku to make him pay!”

“And…And is Reiku here?”  Twilight calmly asked.

“No he isn’t…In fact, I don’t even know why I’m here…But I’m glad I got to be, and I’m glad I got to meet all of you ponies; especially you Rainbow.”  This time I did place my hand on Dash’s soft cyan cheek.  As I did that, Rainbow rubbed her face in my palm as she stared at me with those concerned filled eyes.

“Which is why I don’t want to lose any of you as well.”  I continued.  I removed my hand from the blue pegasus then set both my palms on the ground.  I focused both my mentality and vitality as I converted all the blood and corpses into dust and nourishment for the planet.  After all the decay was gone, I then restored the land to its former green.

Situating myself against a tree and sliding down, I matched my wet contacts with the mares again.  “Could you please not tell anypony of this?  I’ve already tarnished my name enough.”  I begged.  The other two thought about it, but Dash nodded in agreement.  “Thank you…”

Hopefully they don’t think anything less of me now….
