Chromabloom
A Harrowing Experience
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHarrow jumped to look behind him in shock. He swung around and fired into the writhing mass of flames that got bigger and hotter with each shot. When Wolfy howled her shields recharged to the full amount instantly. Chroma roared stunning Harrow. The dragon pelt strained against the red glowing chains lifting off of Bloom. Giving her enough room to dart forward Dex Dakra in hand as she launched a furious attack.
Striking and slashing at the dark priest. The Swirling Tiger stance let her slash in endless fury. Sticking Harrow in a stumbling loop of pain as his shields dropped rapidly. He tried a desperate slash with his dagger. Bloom dodged by jumping over the small blade, reconnecting with Chroma mid-air. She curled into a saw blade Dakra out and spun cutting into Harrow's shoulder with a crimson spray. She finished the roll by stabbing her front sword through his shoulder and using it as a springboard to launch herself back into the air. Aim gliding she shot him twice once from each Vasto and dropped to the ground.
Harrow dropped to his side dead, but Bloom figured he wasn't going to give up that- Harrow sprung to the air and let out an energy burst, flinging her Dakra out of his shoulder. He snarled with rage at being beaten.
"Easy" she finished out loud feeling eager to keep going. She ran to the right recasting her Vex Armor as she ran a circle around him. After several, not even close misses she had to laugh. "Whats a matter can't hit a target that isn't chained down?" She taunted, and he hit a tree. "Hey what did that tree do to you? It didn't deserve that!"
"Then stop moving!" He growled through what sounded like gritted teeth. "So I can pop you like the infested pimple you are!"
Bloom hopped over another miss with a laugh then stopped moving. He shot her, but it bounced off her hide she couldn't keep the smug look off her face. "And how's that working for ya partner?" She whistled, and Harrow reloaded not noticing the Kubrow stalking up behind him. So when the giant dog threw him to the ground and wrapped his throat in teeth, Harrow screamed. Wolfy didn't stop mauling him till well after the point he went limp, Bloom had to call him off.
"Good Boy!" She praised rubbing the top of his head. He barked out of a crimson muzzle. Harrow revived again, Bloom barely batted an eye at the wind he kicked up from reviving. His fists were clenched at his sides his entire his body shook with rage.
"YOU LITTLE INFESTED WH-" He stopped mid-sentence like a statue. A black static covered him, Bloom raised an eyebrow.
"Um?" she looked at Chroma who shrugged.
"Poor Connection?" He joked when Limbo walked out of his void casually carrying a bloody rapier. He waved as he walked back to the sidelines.
"Don't mind me just wanted to get a "stab" in." He chuckled, Teshin stood with his arms crossed with an even deeper scowl.
"Limbo."
"I do not like being used." The whimsical magician growled warningly. "Keep that in mind Dax." He snapped, and dozens of throwing stars rained into Harrow during a seemingly endless barrage of cuts and slashes that had Harrow dance and grunt a samba of misery. Till he was left barely standing, bleeding from hundreds of cuts.
"Hmm seems I miscalculated."
"Limbo what the Fuc-" Harrow managed before Limbo threw one last star straight into his forehead dropping him with a "Hrk!"
Reviving again looking ready to pop a blood vessel he turned to snarl at the dapper void user. "Limbo you cowardly sack of shit!"
"Piss off you righteous space nazi!" Limbo fired back without hesitation.
Bloom pointed her Dakra regain Harrow's attention. "Give up! you're oh for three here."
He straightened up and pointed a finger righteously at her. "Never! Not till I've purged you! Like the filthy little abomination that you ARE!" He shouted with a thousand furies and Bloom readied to go again crossing her Dakra in front of her. Harrow took a step forward to run at her Dark Dagger held backhand style ready to slash and stab at her.
When a Rubico sniper round entered the side of his hat head effectively one-shoting him to the floor. Bloom looked up the hill where the shot had come from but didn't see anything. Harrow revived almost instantly to look around throwing his hands out.
"OK! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!"
Meanwhile on a hill overlooking Sweet apple acres
Fluttershy pulled herself out of Nyx's Rubico rifle with a satisfied grin. "Um, Fluttershy? you missed the cans."
Nyx's voice pulled her back to reality, and she rescoped on her proper targets. Three tin cans on a rock, "Oops let me try again." She squeaked then hit all three in rapid succession. Nyx whistled impressed then looked off to where Fluttershy had "missed." Then blew it off, It's not like Fluttershy would ever kill something. She thought with a mental scoff. The shy pegasus, however, couldn't keep the grin off her face at the image of the dark red frame dropping to the floor.
Harrow chained Bloom again who rolled her eyes. "Again with this? you really are a one trick pony aren't you?" She mocked, and Harrow stomped his foot.
"I know how Vex Armor works you, cretin!" He pulled his Scourge back and hit Wolfy pinning him to the spot with its prongs. "But you know who doesn't have it?" He shot the dog with the bullet auto tracking to his head. Wolfy growled as it hit his shields, Harrow emptied a clip, and the growls became yips, and Bloom struggled. Flinching with each sound the dog made.
Harrow cackled at the ponies agony. "With your dog gone and no one to refill your shields, I'll chip away at that infuriating hide of yours till I hit the maggot filled center!" Wolfy's bleed out counter started, and Bloom cried helplessly.
"Wolfy will reset like we do Bloom. He's a fucking monster! But he can't do anything permanent." Chroma tried to explain when a smaller series of barks and yips made both there bloods run icy.
"Wionna get back here!" Aj cried desperately at the border collie. But the smaller dog stood protectively over the Kubrow growling at Harrow. The dark priest moved his pistol, and Bloom lost it.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" ChromaBloom roared flames. Harrow turned his head, and you could feel the sadistic grin under that helmet as he pulled the trigger. Wolfy shoved Wionna aside taking the last bullet before he faded out back to the linset. Wionna whined sadly at the spot where Wolfy faded, and Loki switched ported the dog into Aj's arms. Harrow managed a scoff before Bloom jumped and punched him in the face.
"Is that all you got?" He mistakenly asked right before Bloom shoved her Dex Dakra through his shins nailing him to the ground. She pulled out her Vasto and shot him repeatedly. The revolvers caused slash damage as they tore holes through him. She walked forward with each shot. Until both clicked empty, She tossed them aside, and Harrow tried to aim his pistol, but Bloom silently knocked it away with a claw swipe. She tackled him to the ground and started to glow. Before his shields could recharge, he watched the fire form in her mouth until there was nothing but flames as she screamed, and screamed, and screamed till all that was left was beyond recognition Harrow faded away.
Yet she kept screaming hell fire till her energy ran out coughing up the last bit of molten spittle as she sat back breathing heavy. Applejack approached as close as the scorching heat would allow. The ground where Bloom lay had melted till it was lava yet. Bloom sat there like she didn't even notice.
"Bloom, you won! And Wionna is ok... Bloom?" She asked the unrecognizable pony frame. Gaint orange orbs, and fangs the only thing she could recognize of her little sister was the pink Bow tucked behind her ears. Teshin dumped a bucket of water on Bloom suddenly causing her to scream in shock as the water instantly vaporized into steam. The Master of the Conclave waited then dropped another. When the second bucket hit, she sighed in relief as it cooled her.
Bloom moved out of the hissing and steaming molten dip she'd burned into the ground shaking off bits of newly formed rock as she rubbed her sore throat. Teshin nodded and set down the third bucket. No one spoke as Bloom dunked her head into it with a slight sizzle as she took deep gulps. After picking it up and tilting it back to get every last drop of sweet cold water Bloom set it down and looked at Teshin. Chroma was still pulled over her eyes, and the big orange eyes were closed when she finally spoke.
"Thank you." She with a raw throat that was fading fast. She hung her head expecting to be scolded. "Is this where you lecture me for losing my temper?" She sounded worried like she'd somehow disappointed the Dax. Teshin took a new before her putting a hand on her shoulder.
"No, This is where I tell you, you fought beyond any of my expectations. Tenno Bloom." You'd think he's just given her the moon they way she lit up at such simple praise.
"However this is where I ask you to put out the flames before they spread." Teshin and Bloom looked over the area, and Bloom grimaced at several small fires and numerous smoking spots in the grass.
"Maybe we overdid it with the fire..." Bloom admitted.
