Chapter Twentynine: Duel between a lizard and a bug

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I watch my lover fall to the ground. Watching Crickets swords pull from the flesh of Star Shooter. Every emotion fills my body but hate for Cricket Hate for him happens even more. This is the last straw I had enough of my lover being hurt or even harmed such in away. I felt the anger build inside me, venom dripping from my mouth. The burning fire of my drool drips all over the grass causing a great fire.

Fire starts to form around Cricket and I. The fire builds causing the others to move away from the fire. Cricket laughs seeing the fire build to surround us. My eyes stare in his bug-like eyes. The leather of his blades cracks while I see the mussels in his hands go tight and tense. The two of us circle each other. My heart beats loud enough in my ears. I feel a rush of fire in my body. Looking to my Star Shooter again.

I could see the wounds from the flesh. The broken flesh and deep holes of the swords. The blood pooling within them. The smell of blood I have had this smell in my nose before. I don’t remember when but. Oh, I do remember now the bears the attacks. Everything before I met Star Shooter.

“Oh come on.. Salamander I’m doing the work of the Queen. Come. Join us to join the winning side. Mix, is now dead but it’s all in the Queen’s grand work my dear. Just taste her power I shall give you a taste. If you taste her power I will let your lover live. If not my dear.”

He places a foot on the back of Star Shooter who groans in pain. This is the only chance I have to save her. So I have to think of something. He offered me power. To save her.

“What kind of power Cricket? Power to end this war?”

Cricket chuckles lift up his swordless hands offering his very blood.

“Infused in me and my blood is what created me. From the ponies of old that turned me into the monster, you see now. Just a taste my dear and you will.” He closes his fist and laughs. “Join the winning side.” He said in a hiss.

So much fills my mind power to save her? I could use the power to bring my race to give the little ones their parents back. Bring my own parents back a battle within my mind. No, it’s not right to get this power. While I did this of course Cricket grew even closer but in a slow matter. Holding the leather of his hilts again. Causing the leather to break and crack.

“BLAZE!! Don’t fall for it!!”

I heard Black Feather shout.

“Open your eyes girl!” Jonon shouts.
Finally, my mind comes back to the task at hoof claw. I think it’s claw I heard the wind the swords cuts as it reaches for my flesh. I lift up my sharp claws my claws stopping the blade. It hurt just a bit because my claws may be sharp. But they still have pain receptors in them. I took a deep breath staring at the hate in Cricket’s eyes.

“You make a good point Cricket. Power is what is needed here. But I am a hero of legend!!!”

The words cause a battle to start by the watching armies while the battle between me and Cricket was just starting. I look to my friends fighting the Queen’s army I could feel their desperation to get to me. My focus went back on Cricket who starts to laugh he shook his head clapping his swordless hands.

“Oh, that is rich dear Blaze. I have been hunting you for years and I beat you at every turn. But you still escape but this time you have no way out but to fight me.”

With his swordless hands, he grabs two more blades holding four swords in all his hands. Fear shown in my eyes but I can’t let fear get the best of me. I have to fight for this island for my dead family. For my home for my land.

“The battle around us has formed Cricket. Look we are winning this battle.”

Each word I say rings somewhat true each battle we fight at this moment. Most of the troops on our side is the victor. Some do die on their side and then others die on our side. It’s the problem of war. Too much death just for freedom.

“We are fighting. Fighting for our freedom. Fighting in the name of my mate my wife to be.”

Cricket turns the fire shining in his eyes.

“Then do it. End this talk lets see who wins on the path of battle.”

As if it was fate rain started to pour to try to break the magic fire. That forms from my core. Even if the waterfalls the fire still burns. I charge slashing my claws to get through his guard. I doubt it would be easy with his four swords. All I need is one window one strike. That is never going to be easy my heart beats harder. I could feel the fire in my body burning. Each time I strike with my claws he blocks.

Till finally, he was able to strike into me. The four blades bite in my flesh my blood running onto the ground itself and I skitter back shivering in pain. I cough up some blood feeling it fill my body since he did strike some vessels.

“Come on give it up Blaze. You know full well you have never been able to win. You’re like a pony on four hooves. I am made of stronger stuff and creation to fight in the ponies war. I am willing to give you mercy Blaze. Just give up I won’t kill you.”

I couldn’t allow it I charge again The strike causing him to lose his swords. The swords all stab into the ground he grew in anger lifting me up over his head and tosses me into the ground. I felt a couple of ribs break I gasp in pain coughing. He kicks into my stomach with his bug-like foot.

“Give it up!!” He stomps into my throat choking me. “I have won give it up!!”

I felt my life slowly drifts away my vision going cloudy feeling my heart slowly stop beating. I didn’t know it at the time but I could see in my cloudy vision Star Shooter lifting up one of the blades in her magic and stab Cricket in the back.

He roars in pain turning around taking his foot off my throat I gasp for air while he picks up his blades going on the attack after Star Shooter. He laughs pulling the sword from his back. The fleshy sound of the blade moves out of the flesh. Blood sprays out of his back causing it to land on me. I could feel the fire in my body finally grow again. The blood had the magic of this land. For the longest time since the war even began. I have been weak letting him go each battle we fought or him doing the same to me.

I stood up the spikes on my back burn with fire licking them all over. Finally, I felt whole again. Cricket did all he could to fight my love. He uses his bare hands to grab her neck and lift her to his eyes smirking.

“You’re going to die here, hero.” Star Shooter smirks while he held her In his claws. “Oh, what are you smirking at?” She lifts her hoof weakly point to me. He turns to look at me fear to form in his eyes.

“Drop her.”Cricket drops Star Shooter onto her ass. He grabs his swords again lifting them up fearing for his life. I open my mouth and breath fire out of my mouth the flames washing over him. His flesh melts off his bones I really don’t give a shit if he is crying for mercy. He has been on the hunt for me most of my life.

He has hurt my wife to be. Cricket falls to his knees after the might of the magic slowly vanished from my body. Leaving nothing behind but a burnt husk in the position forever time of his failure. I fell to my knees. The fire dims allowing those who aren’t fighting to help me and Star Shooter.

“Get him!!!” We heard a yell.

“Mercy!!” Mouse screams

We all chase after Mouse he leads us to the castle gates. He had an evil smirk form on his face while a storm of Magic eaters and the magic armor pony ghost coming over the wall. It was a trap like most of us knew it was. It was a final battle for the castle gates and the legend stops right after this. The legend stops after the hero of legend marry their lover. I look to Star Shooter. Even during the battle she looks to me she knew what time it was and the battle was about to start to get into the castle.

Then the legend itself would be up to fate next.
