The Avatar of Chaotic Power

“We’ve got to hurry!” Twilight exclaimed as she and her friends reunited to run towards the spot where they last saw the mighty titan fight off against the Princesses. “They need our help!”

“Ah don’t know, Twi,” Applejack replied to the panicking pony. “Didn’t you hear him warning us without even laying a single scratch on us? Ah think he might be nicer than the Princesses made him out to be.”

“You don’t understand! He TELEPORTED us right back to our homes! How in Celestia’s name could he have known about where we live? That alone makes him too dangerous for us to simply assume he’s good!”

“Yeah, I agree with Twilight on that,” Rainbow Dash agreed. “Didn’t Celestia say he knew how to predict his enemies’ moves or something? That makes him a bad guy in my books.”

“Aw shucks. Yer just mad he scared you off with that scary voice of his,” Applejack shot back. “I know he may not be the most friendliest-looking of fellas, but he sure seemed polite ta me.”

“I’m afraid I must agree with Applejack, darlings,” Rarity said. “Have you seen the sheen on his armor? He takes such elegant care of his appearance. His color pattern alone may seem a bit clique, but it certainly fits him well. What I wouldn’t do to get a closer glimpse of the metalwork!”

“URGH! Whatever! Let’s just get there before something bad...” Twilight and her friends skidded to a halt as they witnessed an unexpected sight.

Two blurs, one black, the other white, repeatedly clashed against each other again and again as sparks of raw ether sprayed onto the ground.

To Twilight’s surprise, the ground began to rumble with each spark touching its rough exterior for a few moments before it suddenly erupted to form a massive tree that rapidly grew towards both blurs.

The speed of its growth allowed it to smash against the white blur which immediately revealed to be an infuriated Celestia with a fiery mane as the other blur halted its own progress to reveal a calm and collected Dragonok.

“Dost thou concede, Celestia Sunbringer?”

“Never, you foul fiend!” Celestia immediately pulled out her shield and threw it with such force that it sliced through the massive branches towards Dragonok.

To everyponies’ surprise, Dragonok simply waited until he casually grabbed the shield in mid-path and stared at it.

“Lovely metalwork, but it seems a bit fragile.” He applied pressure to both sides of the shield as he easily broke it into two. The shield fragment suddenly burst into shimmering particles of light that were absorbed straight into his hands. “I believe it’s my turn, Celestia.”

He crouched into a battle position with both hands squeezed into fist as he began to release a mighty roar. The miasma of black energy surrounding him suddenly began to rapidly form spikes as he continued on his battle cry. A strange voice begins to speak out of nowhere in a mechanical tone.

DRAGONOK PRIME: INTIATING ASPECT CHANGE TO DRAGONOK (DEATHBLAZE ASPECT) NOW

Dragonok’s armor began to latch onto his skin as it melted to form a cocoon hovering in mid-air. Within seconds, the cocoon burst open in a black inferno as he stepped out.

Instead of the form everyone was familiar with, he had transformed into a hulking dragon with black flames trailing from his scarlet eyes. Four bulging scale-clad arms flexed in unison as a elongated tail enveloped in black flames flicked in response. Humongous wings beat in sync as he floated in mid-air. A pair of massive four-toed claws latched onto one of the tree’s branches as he landed. What scared most of them the most, however, was the gigantic toothy smile on his face.

“This is certainly new,” he said as he glanced upon his new form. “I had expected my Draconian Aspect to activate, but this Deathblaze Aspect is quite impressive if I do say so myself. What happened?”

DUE TO SIX SEALS PLACED UPON PRIMARY ASPECTS, ABSORBSION OF TYRANT KING GEOGIGAS OF THE DRAGON KINGDOM, AS WELL AS ADDITION OF SOLAR SHIELD FRAGMENTS, A NEW ASPECT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

“Seals? Seals from what?”

SIX MYSTICAL SEALS FORGED FROM THE ENERGIES OF THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY IMPOSED BY CELESTIA AND LUNA UPON ESTABLISHED IMPRISONMENT OVER ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED, AND SEVENTY TWO POINT SIX YEARS INTO THE PAST. ONLY POSSIBLE METHOD OF REMOVING SEAL IS FOR BEARERS OF ELEMENTS OF HARMONY TO VOLUNTARILILY UNLOCK SEALS WITHOUT MANIPULATION OR FORCE DUE TO STRICT REQUIREMENTS UPON ELEMENTS OF HARMONY USAGE.

“Well, I suppose this new Aspect will have to do. A bit more muscle-bound than what I am used to, but this should do rather nicely. I wouldn’t want to unnecessarily harm anyone if I can avoid it.” He then turned his attention back to Celestia. “As much as I would love to continue our bout, I need to go train in this new form. Here’s some death-bane chocolate to make up for it.” He sped over to give Celestia two packets filled with ground grayish-black cacao beans before he jumped away from her and pulled out his flute and blew a single note on it.

Daemon, who had been watching the whole battle while snacking from a barrel of apples she had just found near that nice apple orchard, immediately seeped into the shadows before reappearing by Dragonok’s side. He swung himself over onto her back before the both of them charged off into the sunset.

A few moments later, Twilight, who had been shocked by the sudden change of events, only had one thing to say about it. “What just happened?”

Applejack, on the other hand, had plenty to say about it once she noticed the empty barrel of what used to be filled with apples. “That thieving son of a fruit-bat! His friend ate some of mah apples!”
