The Master of Decay and Plague
The Leviagoni
Previous ChapterIt was mid-afternoon, and Grogar returned to his lair with an annoyed look on his face.
"If I cannot find another source of power soon, then my alliance with those 3 will be for nothing!" He yells irritably, stomping a hoof on the ground in rage. Then he descends the lair and walks in front of his crystal ball, focusing on another source of great power to defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends. The crystal ball started to show a lot of powerful relics of Equestria. "These kinds of relics are not as powerful as my Bewitching Bell. Can you not show any other source of power in this world?"
Suddenly, there was rattling on his right side, and he turned to Tirek's chamber. Grogar eyed the chamber entrance in suspicion. Suddenly, Tirek himself come flying out off his chamber, his wrists tied around his back, his hooves all tied into one, his mouth covered by a gag and a cloth, and his horns encased in dark crystals. Then, Chrysalis flew out from the same chamber on top of Tirek tied up in the same manner, and she also had ropes around her wings so she couldn't fly.
Grogar looked at the two in shock and bewilderment. "What happened to you two? And where is the filly?" He demanded. In response, Chrysalis pointed her head over at the chamber entrance with an anxious look in her eyes. Grogar looked over to see Nighdrak with an insidious grin and look in his eyes.
"You should really keep your lackeys around you when I'm around," Nighdrak said demonically. Then he pulled out Cozy Glow, who also tied and gagged with cloth in mouth and cloth over the bottom of her face, hopelessly whimpering for Grogar to help her. Nighdrak looked at the little filly with a smirk. "I like this little filly. Her deceptions and power-hungry attributes make her really cute," He softly caressed Cozy's belly.
Cozy tried to hold in her laugh, because she never like to admit that her belly was extremely ticklish. Unfortunately, there were a few stiffled snorts that came out.
Grogar simply huffed, "Abysor."
Then, Abysor, Nighdrak's much more demonic personality, walked down the ramp with Cozy still in his hands.
"I never took the time to admire your hoofiwork on your lair," Abysor said as he dropped Cozy on the ground and came up to Grogar. "It's a shame you didn't save a room for me, though."
Grogar sighed in annoyance, "What do you want, Abysor?"
"Ohh... Am I not allowed to pay a visit to my very old partner once in a while anymore? It's really not a bad territory you made for yourself here," Abysor said as he approached a pointy rock. Then he just plainly chomped on the point and munched on it.
"I don't want you getting any ideas, Abysor. I'm not looking for anymore creatures to share Equestria with," Grogar said. Abysor approached Grogar.
"Oh... No? Then what are those ponies doing here?" Abysor said as he punched Grogar in the face.
The trio gasped in shock and dread... But Grogar didn't do anything about it, other than rub his cheek in annoyance.
"Yh mh Thmh mh mh mhm?" Chrysalis muffled through the gags in and over her mouth. Grogar snorted at her. "Wmh?"
"Do not blame the little changeling, Grogar. I'm already aware of Twilight and her Abuse-the-dragon bunch."
Cozy and Tirek were confused, but Chrysalis couldn't help but giggle as she knew what Abysor was talking about.
"And that is why I am here to help. I've noticed you've been having trouble finding another source of power lately."
"Well, I don't want your help, Abysor. Not with this, not with anything," Grogar said as he began to leave.
"Are you sure? Cause I know a way to get rid of these meddlesome, abusing heroes, once... and for all. But it will take all of us to do it," Abysor said before Grogar reached the entrance.
The ancient goat stopped in his tracks and looked back at the hybrid with just a spark of intrigue.
"Oh. Do I have your attention now?" Abysor asked as he smiled at the goat.
Seaquestria...
Princess Skystar was humming to herself as she was getting ready for her usual day as princess, until she felt something press stingily on her back, letting out a sharp gasp of pain and anxiety. She looked behind to see a creature with the upper body of a dragon, and the tail design of a shark, except it had 3 rows of variously-shaped spines on the top, and 2 rows on the bottom, with very tattered sails in a garnet-red color and it was twice as long as his upper body, and he had webs between his fingers.
It was Nighdrak/Abysor who had seemingly paralyzed Skystar like a dead fish.
Skystar breathed heavily with anxiety and dread as she saw the creature swirling around her paralyzed and limp body. then the creature came face-to-face and silently hushed her. Then he grabbed her by the sides and started to swim to the throne room.
Throne Room...
Novo was simply waiting for her daughter to come into the throne room and take her seat on her throne.
Suddenly, the doors burst open and reveal Skystar on the ground. Novo and the guards gasp in shock.
"Skystar!" Novo cries as she quickly swims over to her daughter, inspecting her of any injuries. "What happened?" In response, Skystar slowly lifted her left fin upward at the attacker. Novo looked up, only to receive a punch to the bottom of her neck, sending her flying into her throne.
"You dare to harm the princess and the queen!" One of the guards shouted, and they all charged the creature.
Abysor spun around and struck all the guards with his tail fins, knocking their heads hard against all the pillars, giving them concussions.
Skystar breathed anxiously as the creature swam over her and up to her mother. Then the creature placed two claws on her mother's forehead, and Novo immediately woke up in a shot.
Novo quickly looked around, and then saw the creature in front of her. "What have you done to my daughter!?" She demanded, trying to get up. However, she found herself unable to move.
"A touch of paralysis is all," Abysor answered. "I'm not after your daughter, though. I only need the location a certain... leviathan."
Novo and Skystar's eyes widened in shock. "You don't know what you're intending to trifle with," Novo said.
"Oh I do, I just need you to lead me to it."
"I will do no such thing," Novo said rather bravely.
But she soon found that to be rather stupid.
Abysor went over to Skystar and placed a webbed-hand on her side. Suddenly, Skystar began to break out into leprosy, deterioration, brain rot, gingivitis, and gangrene.
Novo watched in horror as she watched her daughter beginning to literally disintegrate away from existence.
"No.. p-please..." Novo pleaded, tears already beginning to form.
"Then lead me to the star-aged beast," Abysor demanded.
Novo shook her head. "I... I don't kn-know... where it is..." Novo said.
Abysor narrowed his eyes, and pumped his palm on Skystar's side. Suddenly, very dark red cracks started burning and spreading on Skystar's body, and her body started crackling with dark electricity as the cracks were burning with black emblems. Skystar started screaming in grueling, gruesome pain as the cracks and electricity started traveling all over her body. Her screams and shrieks started getting higher and higher as Novo kept trying to resist.
"Please! Stop!"
"Yield."
Skystar kept screaming as her life was coming to Death's door, in which Death was already killing her with claws and unknown power.
Novo's eyes were streaming with tears just hearing the anguish of her only daughter, getting her to the breaking point.
...screaming...
"OKAY!! OKAY!! I'LL TAKE YOU TO IT!!!" Novo screamed through tears.
Abysor then lifted his palm off of Novo's daughter. Then he pulled out a syringe with the gold and white fluid and injected it into Skystar's neck. Skystar exhaled in a small amount of relief, and her mother simply sobbed as she almost lost her only child.
A few miles into the Luna Ocean...
A few miles deep under the Luna Ocean, Chrysalis, Tirek, Cozy Glow, Grogar, and Nighdrak/Abysor with Skystar in his grasp by the sides, followed Queen Novo to location of something that Abysor wanted for his own plan.
"Ugh, this is a lot farther than the Seapony Queen said," Chrysalis complained.
"If you're getting tired, why don't you have the little sea-filly massage your tail fin," Abysor teased.
"Hey! I do not comply to other ponies, they're supposed to do what I ask them to do," Cozy said in defiance.
"And that's what I like about you. Your deceptions on most creatures are quite ingenious and quite fool-proof."
Cozy couldn't help but give off small tints of pink on her cheeks and crack a little smile as she looked away. No pony's ever complimented her about her arts of deception and lying.
The group kept going until Novo stopped out of anxiety. The others noticed this and stopped in their watery tracks as well.
"Why did we stop?" Tirek asked.
"I... seem to have lost track of where the creature would be," Novo said scarcely.
"Are you serious!?" Chrysalis barked.
"I-I'm sorry! It's been s-so long since I've located its lair," Novo said in her defense.
Abysor swam in front of Novo with Skystar still in his grasp, and he sniffed out a certain smell.
...
"What is it?" Cozy asked.
After a few moments of smelling, Abysor caught it.
"It's Abyssite. We must be getting close," Abysor answered.
"T-Then perhaps you know where you're going. If that is so, perhaps you... might consider our release?" Novo asked anxiously. Abysor immediately released Skystar, and the two were rejoined.
"If either of you are any of your subjects or guards tell your cousins of my plan in any way you can think of, I will make sure that the creature comes after you," Abysor threatened before he and the others swam in the direction of the creature they were finding.
"Thank you!" Skystar called out before the two started swimming back to their kingdom.
2 Hours Later...
"Are we there yet?" Cozy asked.
"Oh my goodness. You've been asking that for the past, like, 75 minutes!" Chrysalis vexed.
"If you're so tired, why don't you just go to sleep and snore on the way there?" Tirek teased.
"I said I do not snore! Is this is taking way too long to get to some giant monster out in the middle of Cele-" Cozy hissed.
"Do not say the name," Grogar interrupted.
"What, Cele-" Grogar narrowed his eyes.
"What's with saying that sunraiser's name? It's just a name for a pony who raises the sun 24/7," Chrysalis said.
"That is how Abysor came out of Nighdrak," Grogar said Chrysalis.
"Wait, you mean... Abbey-core comes out whenever somepony or someone says C-E-L-E-S-T-I-A?" Cozy asked.
"Yes."
"Well, how do we get Nighdrak back?"
"He only comes out when he wants to, or when he is needed," Abysor answered.
"I need him, you're a little insane," Cozy said politely. Abysor only chuckled.
"So, how far is this creature anyway?" Chrysalis asked.
"Do not worry, comrades. It's just up ahead now."
"You could be a little more specific. And so far you've wasted 12 hours of daylight just to find this creature," Grogar says with impatience.
"I thought you'd all like to do some" catching up with an old friend. Hmm?"
And as if on cue, Abysor extended his arms and beheld the creature for his allies to see.
They were all in shock and anxiety of what they saw.
The leviathan-like creature looked something like this:
However, instead of just a muddle spines from its neck to the back, it had 3 rows of them that went down to the tail. Its body was longer and had 6 arms with tattered dark red fins and 6 tentacles on its backs. It had 8 more fins running down its tail, and it had two giant sails right behind the rocky spines. Its neck was longer and had 5 giant spines on the sides for bite-repellent. It had 6 blood-red eyes with vertically thin slit pupils, and all of its teeth were exposed on the outside. Its scales were black and its rocky plating was mahogany-red with many spikes and spines in the sides, and it had very long and large tusks on the sides of its head. The inside of its mouth was silvery black, and its tongue was forked like snake, and it was shadowy-grey. However, its arms, fins, and jaws were all animated by the same oozy corruption that covered Nighdrak's defensive parts, and the spines and spikes on his body also sprouted on his back and on the rim of his head, posing as 3 giant crystal horns.
It was 756 feet long and about as large as the Empire State Building.
The trio looked at the giant beast in shock, anxiety, and dread. The beast was sound asleep, its snoring rumbled throughout the sea as it lied on an underwater island.
"Th-Th... The... The... The Leviagoni!?" Cozy said between gasps. She immediately turned around and started to swim away. "SWIM FOR YOUR LI-I-IVES!!!" She screamed in terror. Unfortunately, she was stopped by a tendril of black ooze and pulled right back to the group. Then she was grabbed by her fins and her mouth was covered by a claw.
Abysor brought up his tail and hushed Cozy quietly. "Easy, little filly. We don't wanna wake it up before we wake it up," Abysor said quietly.
"This is your plan? Huh! You're not as clever as you claim to be. The princesses and their ponies already fought this creature in their youth - and won," Grogar said.
"From what I've heard in my youth, they only won, because you and your monsters, the changelings, the dragons, hippogryphs, and griffons helped them," Abysor stated.
"Well it's not like we had much of a choice," Chrysalis said in her defense. "That thing was going to destroy everything that everypony and everyone resided at and-"
"That doesn't matter! What does, is that you know how to fight this thing, and I know how to control it. And together, we can use it to end Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, their friends, and their beloved allies. So are you in... or out?"
Grogar began thinking about this. His minions couldn't get retrieve his bell, he couldn't find a suitable replacement, and he couldn't risk losing everything he built. The plan did seem logical, but does Abysor really know how to control this giant carnivorous leviathan? For many years this leviathan has thrived upon this world for millenniums, and when ever it woke, no one could stop it for hunting and feeding on whatever its favorite foods were. However, there was no denying that this creature could be the solution they needed to beat Twilight and the others.
So, without any further thoughts...
"Fine, but if we are going to do this properly, we need the right bait," Grogar pointed out.
"Fortunately, we have a second favorite with us." Then, all heads turned to Cozy.
Cozy was confused, until the realization hit her like rock.
"No... No... NO!! I am not going to play worm-on-a-hook for that thing!" She said as she tried to run again. Unfortunately, Abysor grabbed her by the tail fin, and Cozy yelped as she was pulled back...
Blackness...
It was completely black, there was absolutely nothing around the dark area. No clouds, no sun, no water, no land, no structures, no horizons... absolutely nothing but darkness.
All was quiet and still, until an echoing bang is heard around the void.
“Rise and shine, my terrifying beast!” Shouts a voice. A pair of eyes open and see a figure right in front of them. The owner of the voice hits the sleeping creature again.
The creature known as the 'Leviagoni', groggily opens its eyes and sees the figure blurrily.
"I don't want to be the worm!" Another voice shouts. The Leviagoni looks over to the teenage sea dragon holding a little sea filly.
"Rise and shine!" The sea dragon said in a sing-songy tone, striking at the giant creature again.
The Leviagoni blinks again and can see the figure in full. It was a rather strange looking teenage sea dragon.
The Leviagoni was confused on what the sea dragon was trying to do, until he saw it waving the little filly in front of him. “Yes! Yes! Come on, big boy! Look at this plump little sea filly I have for you, you like the fillies, right? Land fillies, sea fillies, air fillies... all the kinds of fillies there are, right?” The Leviagoni narrowed his eyes at the sea dragon holding the filly in front of it.
The filly did have a chubby face, and it looked very delicious.
"I'M JUST A KID!! I HAVE A LOT TO LIVE FOR!!!" Cozy wailed.
"Come on! WAKE AND TRY TO DEVOUR THIS FILLY!!" The sea dragon roared. Seeing that this sea dragon was challenging it to a race for the filly, the Leviagoni snarls very lowly.
Luna Ocean - Leviagoni Territory...
Abysor hit the Leviagoni again and roared at it very demonically.
The Leviagoni finally rose up very slowly, and gave a mighty, demonic, shrilling, and thunderous roar at the ceiling of the ocean, and technically the sky. It was so loud that it could shatter concrete pillars and reinforced steel walls like icicles. Then it looks at the filly directly and roared again as it began to chase it in the sea dragon's grasp as it carried the filly away.
The plan was set...
"NOOOW!!!"
Then, Tirek and Chrysalis rushed from under the leviathan-like creature and then cast magical chains on its 3 left arm, pulling it outward.
Feeling like a walk on land, the Leviagoni seemed to make a slipping motion as its head nearly hit the sea bed. he looked over at the cause and saw a magic-absorbing centaur and a love-eating changeling. He growled very deeply and swatted the two away.
Tirek and Chrysalis flew back once the beast hit them back.
The Leviagoni looked back at the filly and sea dragon.
Cozy was simply in tears of terror as the filly-eater was chasing her.
"Come on! You want this little filly? TAKE A BITE!!" Abysor shouted.
The Leviagoni shot his head forward and chomped at the filly, but missed. Cozy shrieked at the narrow miss of the beasts jaws.
"Again! Try again!"
Tirek and Chrysalis swam under the beast and grappled the third right arm, pulling it out. This time they were successful.
The Leviagoni roared as it felt itself falling on the ground.
Abysor stopped as the Leviagoni's head hit the floor. "Ya see? We're in charge on land and in water!" The Leviagoni struck the two with its bottom jaw, sending them flying back. Abysor looked at the Leviagoni with irritated eyes.
Grogar came up to him. "You're going to have to be faster than, old partner," He mocked.
"Don't rub it in," Abysor vexed. Then he made ropes and gags appear on Cozy again, and then pressed on her spine with his claw, paralyzing her tail. Cozy muffled in shock and anxiety. "Hang on, Cozy. We're not done yet," Abysor said as he and the other disappeared from the creature's sight. Cozy simply cried and bawled as she floated their helplessly.
The Leviagoni rose up once again, and saw the little filly floating above the ocean floor. He roared once more and then swam after it.
Cozy was breathing heavily and scarcely as the beast approached with fast speed, whimpering frantically. The Leviagoni narrows its eyes as it closes in. Cozy screams for dear life as the beast approaches with open.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Chrysalis, Tirek, Grogar, and Abysor, all came out of hiding and each grappled an arm, pulling them outward with all their might, straining in the process.
The Leviagoni roared once more as it felt itself trip again, its body creating a wave motion as it plummeted towards the filly. Cozy began to hyperventilate as the beast's head plummeted toward her. But by brotherly grace, Abysor lept and caught Cozy in has grasp as he rolled away from the beast's head as it hit the ground hard.
Abysor rose up and sighed in satisfaction as the beast was on the ground once more. He set Cozy down and then grabbed a certain crystal that he would eat, but it was 3 times bigger than Tirek's third form.
"NOW STAY!!! And you'll get something even better than a plump, little sea filly," Abysor said before throwing the crystal in front of the beast.
The Leviagoni opened all 6 eyes and raised its head, looking at the crystal presented to it. It sniffed the crystal, and then licked its toothy lips. It grabbed it with its forked, grey tongue and munched on it.
"Abyssite. It's my personal favorite, as much as it is yours. and there's a lot more where that came from." Then Abysor telepathically made an enormous hill-sized pile of his own crystal fuel known as 'Abyssite', appear behind him.
The Leviagoni looked at the pile with famish and bent down to get a mouthful. But the centaur blasted his jaws away from the pile. The Leviagoni was annoyed and looked at the sea dragon.
"Ah ah ahh... No Abyssite, until..."
The Leviagoni reached from the left side, but the changeling blasted his jaws away as well. He was irritated, until he saw the sea dragon grab another massive portion.
"We say so." Then Abysor throws the crystal up at the beast.
The Leviagoni catches and munches on it before swallowing. Then he narrows his eyes at the dragon and raises himself high, looking down at his feeder with great obedience and glory.
"We... we actually did it..." Chrysalis said in awe. "S-So, is that thing really going to obey as now?" She asked with uncertainty. Grogar approached the Leviagoni with a Crystal in his grasp and was about to throw it. But the Leviagoni growled at him and whacked him away with great force. Grogar grunted as he was sent flying back behind Tirek.
"Well..." one of us," Abysor answered with a smirk from Grogar's embarrassment.
Grogar flipped himself up and snorted.
"It all comes down to respect, trust, and similarity." Abysor set a chunk on the ground and swam backwards whilst simultaneously bowing.
The Leviagoni tilted his head in curiosity as the sea dragon backed away with a bow and a smile. He could sense with a similar devoid of his own, that this sea dragon had the same abilities as him, and that he too had a personality without emotions and unsustainable appetite. He seemed and felt very similar to him...
He liked that.
He took the crystal and munched on it.
"What do you mean by respect, trust, and similarity?" Chrysalis asked. Abysor walked over to Cozy and dispelled the ropes and gags.
"For respect, the Leviagoni is the king of monsters in the Multiverse. For trust, I bowed to him as the symbol of reassurance that this abuse will not happen again. And for similarity, he and I share the same devoid category, known as 'Starblight'."
"Oh..."
Abysor chuckled, "And now, we our weapon." He approaches the Leviagoni, which stares at the hybrid with narrowed eyes and a focused gaze. "Great Leviagoni, there are ponies and other creatures in this world that need to be dealt with. Their plagues of friendship, negligence, and abuse have gone on long enough, and we think it's time they returned the favor of repentance."
The Leviagoni raised its head and growled very lowly, showing its display of hatred and anger against the ponies and other creatures.
"I bid thee, Leviagoni, destroy the abusers and everything they have built to sustain their neglective reign of ignorance!"
"NO!! Not yet..." Grogar says quickly. The Leviagoni furrows his eyes at the old sea goat.
Abysor simply chuckles. "Is that a plan I smell forming in your head? Oh, I do hope it's better than the one I saw blowing up in your face a thousand moons ago, Abysor taunted.
"Think about, Abysor. If we send the creature in now, the ponies will use the Staff of Sacanas to stop it," Grogar stated.
"So... what we need to do..." Tirek began.
"Is make sure that when use the staff..." Chrysalis said.
"That it becomes..." Said Abysor.
"There own defeat," Everyone except the Leviagoni and Cozy Glow said in unison. Abysor walked by everyone and picked up Cozy.
"Maybe your wits are still intact, Grogar," Abysor said as he started swimming back to land with Cozy. The others except for the Leviagoni followed.
"So... what's the plan?" Asks Chrysalis.
"I will tell you once we get back to Grogar's Lair," Abysor said.
"Perfect," Said Tirek with an evil grin.
Abysor than looked down it Cozy, who was still in tears and breathing shakily. His eyes flashed a brighter red, and his original, emotionless face of Nighdrak returned.
"We are so sorry, Cozy. We were not in control of our self," Nighdrak said with a struggling guilty tone.
Cozy sniffled and wiped the snot from her nose. "Is... is it over?" She asked in her head. Nighdrak simply sighed.
"We fear... that this is only the beginning..."
