Chapter 6: The Demon's Claw
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDays later outside the Lair of D.K.H.. Ravage Blues, Dark Dusk, Crimson Rose, and the Golden General, secretly gather outside getting ready to go in. Meanwhile the gang members gather up all that Freak Show, ask of them. "Freak Show, we have found what you were looking for, but what are you going to do with these, body parts," said one of the gang members. "Did you find all of them," said Freak Show.
"Well we found, a lion's paw, a horn of a deer, a horn of a moose, a wing of a bat-pony, a wing of a pegasus, a hoof a taurus, the hoof of a goat, the tail of manticore, the only thing we could not find was the Head of a Kirin, there no Kirins left to harvest," said the gang member.
"Of coarse, Kirins are all but extincted in Equestria, except for this," Freak Show said, as he grabbed out the bag he had the entire time, a Dragon Egg, and then, Freak Show said, "This Egg was born of a Dragon and an Alicorn, there for it is the only thing closest to a Kirin, in all of Equestria,"
"What are you going to do with that," said gang members, "I am going to finish what I started more than a month ago," said Freak Show as he grabbed out a scalpel to cut the Dragon Egg open. But then as he tried to cut open the Dragon Egg, the scalpel was grabbed from him, with somepony else magic. "What," Then gang members started being taken out left and right, as Golden General's army broken to the Lair of the H.D.K.. "Damn it, fight them, you fools," said Freak Show as he grabbed the body parts with his magic. The remain gang members charged forward only to knock by Crimson Rose's lightning fast kicks, and Dark Dusk magic bolts.
Just then Freak Show took the body parts and the Dragon Egg, and escape though a nearby escape tunnel, "No, he getting away," said Dark Dusk, "I'm on it," said Ravage Blues, as he jumped into the escape tunnel after him, "You not going in there without me," said Solas Fine, as he turn and jumped in tunnel after him. But just as they got into escape tunnel, the entrance started to collapse as both Dark Dusk and Crimson Rose yelled in vain, "Ravage, and The Golden General, NO!!!!!,". But it was to late, Ravage Blue and Golden General were now unreachable, as the entrance to the escape tunnel, was now gone.

As the two unicorns landed inside Escape Tunnel under the Lair of H.D.K.. Then they get up and dusted themselves off and look to see, "Look the Leader is getting away," said Ravage Blues, "Then lets go, but no killing him," said Solas Fine, "Fine," said Ravage Blues. They chase him down through the Escape Tunnel.
Meanwhile outside it started to rain, as Dark Dusk, and Crimson Rose, tries to get the Escape Tunnel. "Hurry up we have to get in there, and get to them before, they get hurt," Crimson Rose, in worried voice, as she moved some ruble, "I know, I know, but they will be fine they are very tough warriors," said Dark Dusk, "Yes I just if Ravage Blues, gets himself killed, then my sister will not......," said Crimson Rose, as she tried her best to not finish. "Is there something I need to know, about your sister, Clarity Rose," said Dark Dusk, "Well Clarity Rose is... still in love with Ravage Blues, and she told me not tell him," said Crimson Rose, "I know already know that," said Dark Dusk, as he place his hoof on her shoulder. "Wait you knew that, how" said Crimson Rose, as she knock the hoof away, "Yeah, because he is still in love with her, now let get back to work," said Dark Dusk, as he lifted some more ruble revealing the Escape Tunnel, "Now let go find Ravage Blues and The Golden General," said Dark Dusk, as they both went down the Escape Tunnel.

Meanwhile Ravage Blues, and Solas Fine, corner the Leader of D.K.H. at the end of the Escape Tunnel. "So we finally got you, now hoof over the Dragon Egg, and tell us what you did with Prince SunFire," said Ravage Blues, but Freak Show just stood there in dark with the torn clothes and hood that kept covering his face. Freak Show thought to himself, "Am I so freakish now, that even they don't recognize me,". Then Solas Fine said "He said to hoof over the Dragon Egg, now and step into light,"
"Let me speak to them," Freak Show heard the voice, in his Head,
Just then Freak Show began rile in agony and said,"NO,... but they said to give, it back...to them....your right need it,". Both Ravage Blues and Solas Fine, stood in confusion, as seem like the Leader was arguing with himself. "Enough of this tell us your name now!" said Solas Fine. Then Freak Show just turn to them and spoke, as he slowly pulled down the hood, tore off the torn clothes and step into the light, "Who does it look like I am,".
Both their face widen in terror at what they saw. He scaly eyes, a contorted face and body, that seem almost like something else was trying to engulf it from one side. Half of his face and body looked like that of a Giant Centipede, and the other half was that of unicorn. but not just any unicorn, but the face and body of Prince SunFire. "Prince SunFire!?!?!?" said Ravage Blues and Solas Fine, as they look in horror.
"Not just Prince SunFire," another voice began to speak through his mouth,
"So you must be the Infamous Demon Centipede, Redsting Blacklist" said Dark Dusk, as he and Crimson Rose, had finally caught up with them.
"I my fame has not been forget, and just who are you," said Redsting Blacklist, as he let an evil laugh, which was instantly stop, when he heard the words "Who am I, I am the second son of Queen Luna," said Dark Dusk,
"Oh so the Insidious Bight had more children, I find that hard to believe when I fatally stabbed her Husband, before he seal me away in stone," said Redsting Blacklist,
"Actually you didn't finish him off, He survived and became King," said Ravage Blues,
"And am my to assume that your his son as well," said Redsting Blacklist, as he forced Freak Show, to walk closer,
"Yeah, I am," said Ravage, as he put up his guard ready for fight. Just then Redsting Blacklist launched fury of magical attacks with Freak Show's horn. All four ponies dodging them and landed themselves behind some rocks, as they tried to get to the Dragon Egg that was now siting behind Freak Show.
"SunFire why would help resurrect this Demon," said Crimson Rose,
"Because he said he would Immortality, and he has, but now I want to be free from him, but I can't until the Potion, this potion will separate me from him," said Freak Show,
"Yeah, and set him free," said Ravage Blues
"Hey Golden General, what do you we should do, he got us pin down," said Ravage Blues, "I could cast a Shield Spell, but with this much power in his attacks, it will only hold for few seconds," said Solas Fine, "Don't worry that will be plenty of time, alright Ravage Blues, need you make an opening once the shield is up, then Crimson Rose will go in and fight him up close," said Dark Dusk, "How do you know this will work," said Solas Fine, "Because with the fact he is using magic this close in a this small area mean that he can't fully control Prince SunFire's body yet, so fighting up close is are best bet," said Dark Dusk. Now they had a plan.
The plan goes flawlessly just as Dark Dusk predicted it. He was always a brilliant planner just like his father. They eventually got the Dragon Egg, away from him. But in the end Redsting decide to take it all down by hitting his claw against the walls with the right force that it cause the Escape Tunnel to start collapsing.
"What are you doing?" said Ravage Blues,
"If I lose you all lose," said Redsting,
"Why SunFire, why would you do all this," said Dark Dusk,
"When you are in love with an Immortal, you do what ever it take care of her forever, but you know you can't, because you cannot be there forever," said Freak Show, as blasted a way out for them,
"What are you doing?" said Solas Fine,
"Go on, get out of here go now, I cannot go with you, I cannot return to her until I am free from this curse, and give my wife this" said Freak Show, as he threw a piece of parchment to them,
The four ponies grabbed the Dragon Egg, and the piece of parchment, and got out of there. But Freak Show did not make it out in time. As some of the ruble landed right him, presumably killing him.

Later they returned the the Dragon Egg, and told Princess Celestia, the death of her husband and gave the piece of parchment. Tears fell down Princess Celestia face, as they left. The Golden General went back his wife to tell her everything. And the three ponies made there way back home.
However back in the ruble of the Escape Tunnel, something started moving.
