Demonking
chapter 10
Previous ChapterForge had yelled that Celestia had come and I was ready. Chastiefol floated behind, and I had both blades in hand. "You two get her ready to go the best you can." I walked out of the room and down the hall and I threw Forge estarossa’s sword and Soarin and Thunderlane covered their fist and wings in darkness. We ran down the steps and looked out the windows beside the door. The guards stood just on the edge of the embassy’s property. “Kill as many guards as you’d like but Celestia is mine.”
“Deal!”
I smiled as I looked up at the top of the stairs and saw Gilda with Luna behind her Nightmare in her arms with a blue glow around her. “We’ll get you two an opening, Luna our talk is far from over as well.”
“As long as I’m with her I don’t care.”
I frown at her think she had even a little say in this. “We’ll see about that Luna.” I turned to the door and nodded as I threw the door open and started to wave hand signs. “Kill all the can!” I finished the signs as I yelled then blew out a large fireball out slamming into a wall of mare destroying their main line and most of the second line.
“Pick a spot and kill!”
The four of us jumped into the line and I saw Celestia near the back in a set of white armor with a metal sun in her waist. With golden trim but she had a shield and sword instead of her halbert.
I charged her killing ten arms as I ran up to her. She threw up her shield when I tried to cut her with her sword close behind. I covered my left leg in darkness and made an axe blade on the back of my leg. I kicked her sword up and I threw my leg down and sent her shield back then turned in the air. “See how you like a cheap shot!” I kicked her jaw and sent her flying through two houses.
“NOW!”
Gilda and Luna ran out of the house then jumped into the air and started to fly off. I created a clone to follow them and he shot off at them. Some guard who could fly or shot magic at them tried to get them but Forge kill the one who could shot magic and Soarin and Thunderlane took out the flying guards. I jumped through the holes in the houses as Celestia stood from the rubble. I pulled my right back as she looked at me. I connected with her nose and sent her flying again. She broke through the roof I jumped out then stopped in the air as she fell back down to the streets making a deep the trench.
“Meliodas!”
I looked down at the guys and saw they had killed half of the guards that survived my attack. But, there were more coming and many were carrying staffs and large shields. I looked back at Celestia as she started to pull herself from the trench. “Damn, if It was just me.” I turned to the guys as I made my wings form. “Move out!” Thunderlane and Sorain opened their wings and Forge used his darkness to make a set of wings. “Let’s go!” I took off the same way Luna and Gilda had taken off in, no guards followed us as we flew away. I huffed as I clenched my fist while we flew for the griffon empire.
“What now?”
I looked back to Forge and sighed as I looked at him. “Go to the griffon empire and bolster our numbers as much as we can.” They all nodded as we raced to the border.
Gilda pov
We flew as fast as we could to get away from the fighting started up. After a good thirty minutes, we landed between a two large hill that marked the two-hour mark to the border. I sighed as I sat down on the ground and so did Princess Luna as she cradled Nightmare was she used a spell to keep her asleep. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at her. “You really should let us take her, it’s clear who really cares about her safety.” She looked at anger written on her face.
“What makes you think you're going to take her from me?”
I crossed my arms as I looked at her. “I don’t have to take her my new partner is going to take her from you.” I smiled as the angry look on her face turned to shock as I looked at her.
“Y-you and Sir Meliodas!?”
I looked at her a smile plastered on her my beak. “That’s right and when we get to the empire than I’m going to do everything I can take be a good mother to that filly, to be a good mother and protect her from that whore sister of yours.”
“Why you little call Griffin!”
“What you call me!?”
I uncrossed my arms and was about to attack her then Meliodas slammed down in front of me and stood up. I smiled as I saw him standing there. I got up and ran over then ran over, and hugged him he hugged me back and I looked at the Princess who hugged the filly tightly.
“Well I’m happy to see you too but I’m just a clone the boss sent to protect you girls.”
I didn’t care much as I hugged the clone. “I don’t really care as you are still him.”
“I guess that’s true.”
He wrapped an arm around my waist and made some weird sighs with his free hand. Once he finished whatever it was a root shot up from tops of the hills and covered us with some coming down to make seats for all of use. Couch formed behind us and a large chair formed behind her. We all took a seat and Meliodas’s clone leaned back as I let her go and leaned into him. “Hey, can you do any trick?” The clone looked at me and then held his right hand out.
“I have an attack you might find cool.”
He made another hand sigh and another clone appeared. He started to grab the air around and over his hand. Air started to get drawn in and a ball started to form in his hand. A blue sphere formed in his hand and a bright ball formed in the center. He jumped up then ran at the hills side then slammed the ball into it. A blast wave of air hit me and sent me flying from the couch. I grabbed the side of the couch and looked at the hill. The hill as hollowed out all the way through.
“What was that!?”
The clone looked back at us as the second disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
“That is a class attack Justu called the Rasengan. There are three parts to this Justu, first is the rotation. First, you learn to spin chakra in multiple directions at once making the sphere shape as you gather the chakra. Second is power, I have to increase the volume and density of my chakra output. Doing this can make or shirk the Rasengan however much I want. Lastly and the most difficult is Containment. That this stage the Rasengan and explode and harm me as a result. I have to combine the first two steps into a contained sphere but to it isn’t easy and it blew up in my hands almost taking my arm off.”
I smiled as she walked back over to me and sat back down beside me. “Whoa, do you think you can teach me to do that?”
“We’ll the boss will receive the memories so if he wants to teach you then he will.”
I smiled as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder then smiled.
“I can, however, do this but be ready for a shock. The boss was going to do this anyways so I’m sure he won't since if hidden us and the only one who will find you is the boss. ”
He disappeared then some kind of blue energy wrapped around my chest and I tried getting it off as lines started to form on my whole body. They formed everywhere and I could see them through my clothes.
“Lady Gilda your shrinking!”
I looked at my body again and saw she was right. My whole body had shrunk to two-thirds of my full size. I would be closer to a teenaged mare size still larger than many males but I didn’t know if the strength I had would be the same. I looked down at my hands and saw my talents had changed. They seemed sharper and looked straighter more like knives, better for fighting or hunting. I stood up and grabbed my pants when they started to fall from my now three sizes small waist. I opened my wings and saw they had grown out by a foot, now they were more suited to fly with more speed and distance. ‘I guess now I can do more than glide now.’ I looked at the rest of my body and saw my muscles were more defined. I looked back at the clinched my right fist and punched the couch breaking the couches roots and sent it flying through the hole made by the clone. It broke through the trees and we heard it smash into something in the forest.
“What did you just do?”
I looked back over at Luna and saw the shock on her face. I smiled as I clenched my fist as I looked back out to the sky and saw four black lines race across the sky heading straight for us.
Meliodas pov
I saw a chakra body under a large overhang of roots and I flew down to it the guys following me down to the small hold up. I slammed down and the other landed behind us. I reserved the information from my clone and knew Gilda now had a chakra network over the magic one she had before.
“We’ll wait here Meliodas.”
I nodded then walked in through the large hole in the hill and saw Luna, Gilda, and Nightmare who was still asleep. I stomped a foot on the ground and Luna’s legs and arms were bound by roots. I walked over to her and took Nightmare from her arms.
“MELIODAS! GIVE HER BACK!”
I nodded as Luna was struggling to free herself from the roots. “I’m sorry Luna but I can’t trust you to keep her safe anymore. Once I’m sure she’s in a safe place I’ll come and get you to see her. Till then goodbye Luna.”
“Meliodas! Please don’t do this!”
I stopped for a moment and I looked back at her again. “I won’t lose another child, Luna.” She looked at me for a moment then she and Gilda seemed to finally get it.
“Meliodas…”
I turned and walked out Gilda close behind but… the look on Luna’s face. ‘This is going to way on her mind greatly.’ I removed my wings as Gilda grabbed my arm.
“Wait a minute!”
I looked at Gilda and saw she was barely taller than me by seven inches. I pulled my arm free and looked at her. “Nightmare is like my second daughter and if she blinded in that eye I will destroy Equestria.” I turned took to the air the guys followed a second later and Gilda shot past us screaming clearly not too sure how to use her new speed. I sent Chastiefol in pillow form and she crashed into it and she floated back down to me as we flew. “I don’t think you can fly until I help teach you to adjust to the new speed.” I laid Nightmare beside her and she grabbed hugged her into her chest. I looked forward again as I flew waiting for something or something to come after us. I opened a hole in my darkness and pulled the book back out then threw it over to Gilda. “Read the last page in that book.” She nodded then opened the book up as Nightmare started to move on her own. She curried up into Gilda’s side and I smiled. ‘My transformed clone should be talking with Celestia and the other by now.’ I smiled as I flew with the others.
Celestia pov
I sat in throne room my nose and jaw still throbbing from the attacks Meliodas hit me with. He’s no ordinary fighter that's for sure. ‘He has to have some kind of weakness, a chink in his armor something has to work against him.’
“Princess run!”
I looked to the throne room door as Twilight and her friends ran into the room. Another man walking in behind them. He looked like an older version of Meliodas but was more muscular with green eyes. He hand darkness above his shoulder with golden arms coming from them with symbols on them. He wore some sort of fabric on his chest with golden armor on his forearms and legs.
“I see, your the one who was foolish enough to pick a fight with my son, Meliodas.”
We all froze as we looked at the man. Guards in the room ready their weapons but he only smiled as he looked at us. He walked closer to me and laughed a little as I looked down at him. “M-meliodas is your son?”
“I’ve just come to give you a warning little slut who sitting on a stolen throne.”
“What would that be?” He smiled as he looked at me.
"A seven nation united army couldn’t hold him back when he was just playing around, what makes you think beat him if he gets serious? His strength is equal to that of the goddess sorry filth like you should be honored her he took the time to fight you instead of killing you in one go and I can promise he can.”
I looked at him my anger mixing with fear as he stood before me so calm as if I was lower than him.
“Hm?”
He turned his head to the roof and uncrossed his arms.
“Seems your sister is back.”
A blast of blue magic smashed through the roof and Luna slammed down into the ground with roots wrapped around her arms the curst spell book in hand. She looked at me venum in her glare.
“Sister!”
She slowly walk up to her grip on the book starting to bend it.
“Meliodas took her.”
She looked at me tears in her eyes.
“He took Nightmare because if you and this damn spell you put on us mare!”
She threw the book on the ground and dropped to her knees crying her eyes out. The man looked at her and something seemed to catch his attention. He reached over to her with a golden arm and touched her head and she looked up at him.
“My son may be a softy but he’ll be sure nothing happens to her.”
He pulled his arm back and turned and started to walk away.
“I know you can’t hurt him but if you attack the one’s he care for or kill them I’ll come back and make you my slave Celestia.”
His body covered in darkness and started faded as he walked away saying only three more words.
“You’ve been warned.”
