Salt, Anger, And Booze

Salt, Anger, And Booze
Part 10: Feed On My Rage

By: Major Frostwing

I stood at my spot next to Shining Armor and Celestia my hands crossed behind my back. I was waiting... I knew that the fun was going to start soon. Nightmare walked up behind me tapping me on the shoulder. "I have located Twilight and the real Cadence they are on their way up." Nightmare said as I smiled adjusting my tie.

"Good." I said in my head as she disappeared into the recesses of my mind. I heard the organ kick up as The fake Cadence began her walk down the isle. I was still smiling as I patted Shining on his shoulder as if to tell him good job. In reality I was tapping him with a small shock of corruption trying to break whatever hold on him she had. It was a long shot but I hoped that it would work.

"Cadence" had finally arrived at the podium as Celestia cleared her throat. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today..." Celestia began as I looked at the door leading to the wedding with a smile on my face.

"Any second now." I said to myself as Celestia continued with her ceremony. "Any second now..." I said getting a little impatient as my foot began tapping. "Taking your sweet time..." I said as my tapping got louder and louder.

"If anyone objects to this bonding of two lovers speak now or forever hold your piece." Celestia said as silence rung out as I stopped my foot. "I no-"

"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE I OBJECT!" I yelled out as I spun Shining around delivering a headbutt to his forehead knocking him down to the ground. "THIS BITCH HAS TESTED MY PATIENCE FOR LONG ENOUGH!" I yelled as I looked to The fake. "STOP ME I DARE YOU!" I yelled as a blast of green magic hit me in the chest slamming me into a wall. "ow..." I muttered as I slowly got to my feet.

"YOU FOOL HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY SPECIAL DAY!" The fake yelled as the doors to the wedding were kicked open.

"It's not your special day! It is mine!" I glanced over to see Twilight and the real Cadence standing there.

I dusted my self off as I began walking forward slowly drawing Solaris.

"How in Tarnation can there be two of them?" Applejack asked as Cadence spoke up.

"She is a Changeling she changes her form to be someone else and feed off of the love others give off." I stepped up to the podium as the fake began to cackle. Fire engulfed her form dissolving her disguise to reveal her true form. I smiled like a mad man as the fire died down. I reached over taking the microphone that was being used before saying only a few choice words.

"EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK OUT!" I said as many of the nobles got up from their seats running to the exit only about 30 people remained. 18 of them were engulfed in their own fire as they stood from their seats ready for a fight.

"Only two people saw through my disguise only two out of all of you." The woman said as she began pacing. "That would be dear Twilight." She said pointing to her before pointing at me. "And you. I can see how Twilight saw through it all but you are a mystery. How did you know?" I cracked a smile.

"Simple." I said as I raised Solaris setting it on my shoulder. "Solaris told me. Your magic is a form of corruption which Solaris will react to. Normally I would just chock it up to my own corruption being sealed by my bracer. but I guessed right when you had a drone bring me room service. By the way I fucking hate tea." I said as I slid Solaris into it's holster. "Now tell me Bitch. What is your name?" I asked as she glared at me.

"I am Queen Chrystalis. Queen of the Changelings. You would be wise to show me some respect you abomination." I let out a loud cackle of laughter as I looked down at her. I was about to draw Umbra when I felt a blast of magic hit me in the chest throwing me back into another wall.

"KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF!" I yelled pulling myself out of the wall.

"Jon stay put I will deal with this insect." Celestia said as she charged her own magic. Celestia raised her hand as Chrystalis did the same. Both of their magic launched out before colliding between the two of them. Celestia seemed to be struggling to keep the magic at bay. As Chrystalis' began to over power her.

This is the same woman I am sure could take me out and I am no push over. I watched as Celestia looked back at me before giving me a subtle nod. She used her other hand aiming at me as magic launched out hitting my bracer. I looked at her as her magic gave way slamming her in the chest. Celestia let out a scream as she flew backwards. I jumped up catching her as I gently set her down.

I gave Celestia a light shake as she passed out. I felt my anger swell up over it's boiling point. I picked Celestia up as I got to my feet. I walked right past Chrystalis as she was charging up another attack. I continued towards Twilight as I set Celestia down in front of her.

"Twilight take the others and go get your elements. This bug is mine." I said calmly as I looked Twilight in the eyes she flinched before nodding. A blast of magic hit me square in the back only to be deflected away by Umbra And Solaris. "Run fast. Stop for nothing." I said as I stood to my full height turning around to see another bolt of magic flying at me. I raised my right hand as I caught the bolt of magic.

"Jon will you be ok on your own?" Twilight asked as I threw the magic I was holding into the wall to my immediate right. Twilight was silent before I heard her call for her friends as they ran towards the door. I heard a few of the changelings move to intercept as I let out a yell of rage as they all crumpled to the ground throwing up or passing out completely.

"So you are Jon it is a pleasure to meet you." Cadence said to my left. I didn't look to her.

"Stay out of my way or fall like the rest." I said as I drew Umbra slamming the edge into the ground. I glared down Chrystalis as she looked at me showing the same signs of sickness as the other changelings. "I gave you many warnings insect. I warned you of the pain I would bring yet you chose to ignore us." I began walking forward slowly as Chrystalis charged up another attack. In the blink of an eye I was before her seizing her by the throat with my left hand.

Chrystalis returned the gesture wrapping her hand around my throat as she seized me by my left wrist. "You think your anger will affect me I am the queen. I do not taste anything less than love. under all of that anger there is love... along with fear. I wonder what you are so afraid of?" She asked as I tightened my grip on her throat.

"I'm afraid you won't last long." I said coldly as I used my strength to lift Chrystalis off the ground before fast balling her into the wall. "I'm afraid that I won't get the chance to really cut loose. I'm afraid spilling your blood won't please me." I jumped forward swinging down towards her only for her to roll to the side. Umbra carved deep into the wall she was thrown into before the teeth of Umbra kicked on grinding through the marble like a chainsaw.

"I have fed off of Shining for days I am all powerful. You just surprised me with your speed. It will not happen again." Chrystalis said as she threw a fireball at me. I jumped back dragging Umbra through the floor carving it up the entire way.

"Keep telling yourself that. You took something away from me and I will enjoy making you burn for that." I hefted up Umbra charging forward only for Chrystalis to meet me half way with a blade of her own. We locked blades as she smiled at me.

"Is this all you can do Jon?" Chrystalis asked in Red's voice. My eyes went wide as she disarmed Umbra from my hands shoving her own blade through my stomach. I stood there as Chrystalis ripped her crooked blade from my body kicking me over. I laid on the cold marble my hand over my wound. "I knew that one had to be the one you love so much. I was using my drones to watch you dear Jon. You not once raised your voice at her never so much as said a mean thing to her. She is your weakness." I felt Chrystalis kick me in the gut as I coughed trying my hardest to stop my bleeding or at least slow it down.

The doors to the throne room were thrown open as Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Red were all brought into the throne room. They failed... I failed as well. Chrystalis walked over me sitting down on the throne with a cackle of laughter.

"The Elements have been captured. Canterlot is ours. And the best part is your last resort lays bleeding out on the ground before you all. And since I am a benevolent ruler I will not allow Jon to die a slow and painful death." Chrystalis said as she raised her hand as two guards took hold of my shoulders dragging me to the base of the steps leading to the throne. "I will execute him and give him a swift death. Any last words?" She asked with a smile.

looked back at Red before looking down at my bracer setting my hand on it as I felt the clasp on it unlatch. "I got something to say Chrystalis..." I pulled the bracer off of my right arm before tossing it over my shoulder as it clattered to Twilight's feet. "My name is Salt." I looked to my right seeing an axe coming down towards my neck. I clenched my right hand into a fist as the head of the changeling crushed in on it's self. Blood rocketed out of the dead changeling's neck as it splattered the ground around me.

I slowly got to my feet as I rolled my neck to a series of loud cracks. The corruption spread through me as my skin became black as pitch. I ran a hand through my hair feeling it become wispy at my touch.

"What in Tartarus are you?" Chrystalis asked as I undid the clasp for Solaris as it clattered to the ground behind me. I used my foot to kick it backwards towards Twilight and the others.

"I am the one person you should have not pissed off." I cracked a smile as I openned my right hand as Umbra flew into my hand. I turned as a changeling charged me only to have Umbra slam into his collar bone. Umbra's teeth began to spin before it glided through him throwing chunks of flesh and bone across the room. Once Umbra was completely through him I turned throwing Umbra right at Chrystalis. She jumped out of the chair dodging the blade only to come face to face with me as I brought my fist down in a chopping right.

A large shock-wave echoed out as Chrystalis was painfully introduced with the marble. I reached down lifting Chrystalis looking at her cracked and broken skin. I smiled as I threw her towards the other Changelings. I'm glad Twilight was able to pull all of them down as Chrystalis took down most of the changelings in the room. I flicked my wrist as Umbra returned to my hand. I began walking forward whistling a little tune as I dragged Umbra behind me.

Chrystalis got to her feet as the Changelings got in my way to her. "KILL HIM!" Chrystalis ordered as the changelings charged at me all of them switching to be one of the girls in the room. I impaled the first one that got close to me carving upwards before turning the blade sawing through two more.

I was Laughing the entire time. This is what I wanted all week. I wanted to kill each changeling I discovered but I had waited and it made it all so much more fun. I seized one by the throat as I slowly bisected them with Umbra. "GIVE ME MORE CHRYSTALIS IT WILL MAKE KILLING YOU SO MUCH MORE FUN!" I yelled out as I dropped the corpse to the ground with a wet smack.

I saw Chrysalis take a step back about to run when I appeared behind her in a flash of light swinging down with Umbra. She was able to block the strike but only barely as the teeth began to spin up showering the area in sparks. "I can feel your fear little bug..." I said as I smiled pressing down on harder.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Chrystalis roared as she tried to press back on me only for me to set my left hand on my blade pressing down once again dropping her to one knee. "I HAVE ALL THE POWER I BEAT CELESTIA HOW ARE YOU STRONGER THAN ME!?" My smile threatened to split my face as I lifted my blade bringing it down with both hand cutting into her shoulder.

"Simple Chrystalis. What is a moth to a flame?" I asked as her eyes widened as I set my right hand right in front of her face. I charged my own spell as purple lightning arced in my palm right before I seized her by the face. She let out a muffled scream as my hand print was burned onto her face. "I mark you Chrystalis. This mark is to show your defeat at my hands. This mark will never fade. Never leave you. I have marked your very soul." I released Chrystalis as she cradled her face in her hands. "I OWN YOU!" I yelled before letting out a maniacal laugh stomping on Chrystalis while she was downed.

"J-Jon..." I heard a voice say as I looked up seeing Red her hands over her mouth in horror. "Jon please stop..." She said as I looked down at Chrystalis seeing her still holding her face. I cocked my head to the side before sighing.

"She saved your life..." I said as I slid Umbra into his holster walking back towards Red.

"NO!" I heard Chrystalis yell as I looked over my shoulder at her to see my mark on her face. "I WILL NOT BE BEAT BY SOME PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A BEING!" Chrystalis raised her hand pointing at not me but Red. A beam of magic launched out as I dropped Umbra shoving Red out of the way as the beam ripped through my chest. I didn't know when I hit the ground but it felt so nice...

"I could take a nap on this floor." I said to myself as a warm light passed over my very being. It stung a little bit which was weird but I was to tired to try and get comfortable. I think I'll just close my eyes for a little bit... I can kill Chrystalis when I wake up.
