The Dragon Knight Of Equestria
CH 19
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I can't believe this!" Draknik yelled while slashing the head off an imp that was standing close to him.
When he did the other imps backed away in fear. They didn't want to be the next one to die.
"Taking your anger out on your subordinates isn't going to help." Krummaruk pointed out while leaning against a tree with his sword stabbed into the ground next to him.
"Shut up bull!"
"Is that really all the taunts you can do?"
"Of course. It does insult you."
"Idiot. I'm a minotaur. You just point out that my race are bulls just as much as your kind are related to bats."
That caused hisses of anger from every imp there.
"I dare you to say that again."
"As much as I want to slaughter you and the rest of your kind we need to return to base. Which brings me to my next question," Krummaruk spoke pushing away from the tree and lifting his sword to let it rest against his shoulder. "Why are we heading in the direction of the town that your kind failed to attack?"
"What are you implying?"
"I'm implying that someone pride was damaged and he is looking for revenge."
"So what if I am?"
Krummaruk stared at him as if he just lost his head.
"You want to anger the master?" Krummaruk asked while raising an eyebrow.
"If can we take the elements then my pride will be restored and the master will be pleased with me."
Krummaruk just kept his eyebrow raised.
"While we are there we can even take out what caused our plan to fail in the first place."
"You would risk the master anger on you just for your pride?"
"You are a warrior yet you scared to fight what killed my warriors? Didn't you say that you were always seeking a challenge?"
Krummaruk stared at him with a neutral expression.
"Funny thing is I know you're playing me," Krummaruk spoke while flashing off a smile that was full of teeth that looked like it belonged in a shark's mouth. "But your right."
"See that's the spirit!"
"You take the elements while I take on the warrior."
"Wait. NO!"
"Hm?"
"It's my plan so I will...."
Krummaruk cut him off when he dashed forwards and grabbed his throat and lifted up in the air causing Draknik to choke and kicking to try to make Krummaruk let go but it wasn't having any effect on him.
The imps let out hisses and moved forward only to stop in fear when Krummaruk glared at them.
"Don't just stand there you cowards! Help me!"
"They are not stupid to throw away their lives. Now as I was saying," Krummaruk spoke while tightening his grip. "I will fight the one who saved the town. You will claim the element's."
Krummaruk brought his face closer until it was an inch away from Draknik.
"Understand?"
Draknik threw his claws at Krummaruk who didn't flinch even it left three claw marks doing down his face over his right eye. Krummaruk just tightened his grip more.
"Understand?"
Draknik growled at being handled so easily but nodded his head, yes causing Krummaruk to release his grip on him. Drakik sat on the ground coughing while rubbing his throat.
"Glad we came to an understanding. Now, let's go visit this town shall we?"
"You do know that the town is a few days away?"
"You think I didn't know that you were leading us to that town? I know that we are just a few miles away possibly thirty minutes."
"We are about ten minutes away."
Krummaruk but just kept walking forward.
"TO THE RIGHT!"
Krummaruk may have been a strong warrior but not as strong as him but he couldn't find his way out of a bag even if you cut the holes out of it. Either way, Drakik couldn't stop the smile that appeared on his face. He was looking forward to getting his revenge on the one who shamed him.
Garyx let out a loud roar of pain while collapsing on his knees shaking in pain. That was his fourth time at trying to transform into his dragon form but he was only cable of holding it for a few minutes. He was able to hold it longer though it seemed that it was going to be a while before he could hold it permanently like he used to.
'Damn buggers.' Garyx thought in annoyance.
He should not have become so arrogant. It could have cost him his life but he couldn't help it though. There wasn't anyone that could face him in battle and give him a decent challenge. There was no one who can defeat him in battle. No one!
But yet he still felt empty. He just thought it was from the lack of finding warriors to test his might against. He wasn't sure. He was broke from his thoughts when he heard some bushes behind him rustling causing him to let out a groan of annoyance.
"Your four better come out."
He had a guess of who it might be. They had been following him almost every chance they could. It was annoying. If you were going to follow someone just be blunt about it. Don't hide like cowards.
After not seeing anyone moving out of the bushes he let out a growl while walking over towards the bush. Grasping it he pulled it out of the ground and tossed it to the side and glared at the culprit only to be confused at what he saw.
It was a small white rabbit and to his surprise, he saw it was glaring at him while thumping one its of its legs on the ground and had its paws crossed over its chest glaring up at him.
"You again?"
The rabbit just kept doing what it was doing.
"Whats to stop me from eating you here and now?"
The rabbit stopped what it was doing and began making motions with its hands. First, he looked pointed towards the direction of the house he saw that yellow mare lived. He then began to make it look like he was crying and it was followed by the rabbit pointing at him then in the direction of Fluttershy.
Garyx was just confused by what he saw then realized what he was implying causing his eye to twitch.
"You.....want me.....to apologize?"
Angel nodded his head yes while glaring.
"He...he...HAHAHAHAHA!"
Garyx doubled over laughing while the rabbit gave him an unamused stare.
"Funny. I will no such thing."
Garyx turned to walk off only to feel a bump on his leg. Glancing down he the rabbit had jumped on him and was now glaring up at him while sitting on his foot.
"Get off."
Angel shook his head.
"I am not apologizing nor will I ever."
The rabbit mde motions with his paws again only to make a heart shape then pointed at him.
"Don't even go there."
Garyx shook his foot throwing the rabbit off who glared at him.
"The world is a dog eat dog eat world. The strongest surivive and the weak die. That is the main reason you are alive now."
Angel paused for a second and nodded his head slowly.
Garyx snorted and tried to walk off only to feel the rabbit hit his foot again.
"What now?"
The rabbit pointed again.
"You saying that.....female helped you?"
His question was answered by a nod.
"Then you are weak."
Garyx didn't wait to see what the rabbit did next and began to walk away only to stop when he smelled smoke and a familiar smell. The same smell that came from the things he fought. His eyes narrowed and he turned to see smoke rising out of the town that he swore to stay. He wanted to turn and just watch the town be destroyed. He wouldn't have an oath to uphold anymore and he could be on his way. Yet he was also wanting payback on those things that made him unable to change without pain.
"Here I was looking for a fight." Garyx flashed a smile while summoning his wings with a slight pain in his chest.
With a strong flap of his wings, he was in the air going towards the town.
It was quiet in the library. Twilight and her friends were in the library. They were hanging out but another reason was to discuss Ponyville new resident or should they say forced resident.
"He's beyond hope." Was Applejack blunt answer.
"He did save the town though."
"Come on egghead! He even said that the only reason he did was because those things attacked him. He wouldn't even bat an eye if Ponyville had been destroyed."
"He saved Spike and your sisters."
"Only because those things attacked him."
"What about when they were in the forest."
"He was passing through."
"Darling, I know you are trying to find good in him. But we have to face facts. There is no good in him."
"Yea! He even destroyed Pinkie's party that she set up for him. He literally almost roasted everypony inside!"
"He destroyed my party cannon." Pinkie let out a small cry.
"He almost killed Angel.....and he looked like he would have torn me apart to get to him." Fluttershy spoke but it came out more like a whisper.
"See." Rainbow pointed.
"I don't why the Princess wanted you to befriend somepony who doesn't have one ounce of good in them."
Twilight wanted to tell them they were wrong but she couldn't think of anything. Everything they spoke was true. Garyx had only been cruel, mean and when it came down to it even a small bit of sadistic.
"Sugarcube, I get it. You want to find good in everypony but you have to face facts. There are just some ponies who can't be helped or even want help."
"What if it's just a defense mechanism?"
Everypony glanced over at Spike who just walked in.
"What did you say?"
"I said what if he's just acting that way because he is afraid of getting close to people."
"Why would he do that?"
"None of us know him. We just know that he is angry, hateful and sadistic as you say. Anything else is not known."
"Does that really give him the right to treat everypony the way he does?"
"It doesn't but what if its true?"
"Egghead, are you really saying that we should just let him walk over us the way he does now?"
"No! I'm just saying...."
"The way I see it is that if he wants to continue being a giant plothole then we should give him the treatment back!"
"I wouldn't say it like that but I think it would be better if we just ignore him."
Twilight let out a sigh while pinching the bridge of her nose. Everything her friends were saying was true. They had tried to befriend Garyx only for him to either threaten them, blast fire at them or simply ignored them.
"Darn varmint stole one of our apples." Applejack muttered.
Twilight opened her mouth to speak only to feel the library shake.
"Seems like he came for a visit."
"Dammit, I'm going to kick his plot!" Rainbow yelled while standing and heading for the door.
"I'm going to help you."
"WAIT! Don't do anything rash!"
The girls ran outside only to see Rainbow and Applejack looking confused. Looking ahead they saw a pony but the strangest thing he had was his face was full of fear and terror.
"Hey man, you all right?" Rainbow asked while walking in front of the stallion and waved her hand up and down in front of his face.
"I think it would be better if you worried about yourselves."
Everypony and Spike turned around only for their eyes to widen in fear when they saw more of those imp creatures sitting on top of the library house while their leader just stared down at them with a sadistic smile showing off his teeth. Glancing down they saw a large Minotaur come around the house with a huge sword resting against his shoulder and a bored look.
"Now where is your hero?" Draknik taunted while summoning a fireball in his hand and hurled towards Rainbow and Applejack who both pushed the terrified stallion to the ground with the fireball going over their heads and slam into a house causing a small explosion.
They glanced at the house that was becoming enveloped in the flames.\
"Now perhaps that will attract his attention."
