War of the Dragon Gods!!
Chapter 8
Previous ChapterNext Chapter3rd POV
Lucy watched as different Ponies, Dragons and many more killed the last of the survivors in her attack on Appleploosa, she didn't care much for her devoted followers, they can die just the same, but something told her she should talk to them, making up her insane mind, she flew down to them. Landing with a roar, they all froze and looked to her, then they bowed and said in unison.
"Hail Goddess of Death, we kill to serve you." she looked at each one of them, then spoke.
"Rise Followers of Destruction. Tell me, how did you survive the attack from Draco and his Knights?" she asked saying Draco's name like it was a bad taste in her mouth, a pony wearing a outfit that was mostly white with wings like hers stepped up.
"Our ancestors had already taught their children and loved ones to follow you Great One. And they knew the fake God Charizard and his knights would wipe them out, so they only had a few members stay hidden so their legacy could live on." the mare said, "And their stories passed down to us. We immediately assembled the moment you reappeared. Killing in your name!" the rest of the Followers cheered in agreement. But a roar from Lucy silenced them.
"Followers, send word to any others that wish to follow me! We are to prepare for war against Draco and his Knights!" they all cheered after Lucy finished, many had gone off to tell their brothers and sisters about the summoning they all followed her as she lead them to her lair, an insane smile on her face. 'Soon Draco, you will die.'
Draco's POV
I watched Cinder train the new recruits, let's just say, many of them had already fainted from either exhaustion, or her stories of the Followers and Lucy. More of the latter really. Ponies are such wimps sometimes. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Mewtwo.
"Draco, you are needed at the Hall of Origin, and bring the princesses as well." I nodded my head,
"Cinder, I am going to be back in a bit, keep up the training and stop causing our recruits to faint and/or empty their stomachs."
"No promises!" I just shook my head as I flew off into the Everfree, after a good 2 hours of flying, I eventually saw the great ruins, landing I saw that Celestia and Luna have already arrived and were seated next to Arceus, I also saw many of the great Legendaries. I walked up to the table and looked to Arceus, waiting for the reason of this summoning
"You are probably wondering why I have called you all here?" Arceus asked, receiving a chorus of yes, "A pony settlement has been destroyed by Reshiram," a series of shouts of anger were heard, "And from what Latias told me, she has allied herself with the Followers."
"WHAT?!" Celestia shouted, "But I thought they were all wiped out! How can there be some alive!!"
"Celestia calm yourself,yes this is disturbing to say the least, but thanks to Draco and his Knights we know where they'll most likely hide and what we can expect from them." Arceus said, I chose that time to speak up,
"Even if they did allied themselves with Lucy, their numbers are too small cause who would be crazy enough to join a cult that kills innocents. And not only that, we have the whole of the planet is against them."
Arceus nodded along with a few others agreeing with me. "Draco is correct, but still a word of caution for everyone, keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. And if it is Lucy or a Follower, do not take them alone, call for help via telepathy, Mewtwo will inform us and we can aid whoever calls for help, that includes those who think they are much more powerful than other Legendaries. Understood?" we answered with a chorus of 'yes,' "Good, you may return to your duties."
Everyone began to either fly or teleport away from the Hall of Legends, and just when me and the princesses were about leave, Celestia turned to me. "Do you really think we can stop Lucy and the Followers?"
"Of course we will. I did once before, I can do it again. You don't anything to be worried about Tia, remember Lucy is still weak from just waking up and recovering from our battles. We'll be fine."
The two looked a little bit relieved to hear me say that, but I can still see the worry in their eyes. "If you say so Draco, we'll be returning to the castle now. Take care of yourself." Luna said as the two teleported away. I opened my wings and began to fly towards Ponyville, being sure to keep a look out for anything suspicious. I didn't see much, just a few Pokemon hanging with some of the Local wildlife, like a Houndoom with a Timberwolf pack, a bunch of Diglett and Dugtrio planting saplings, a Hyper Beam heading towards me.

Wait, WHAT!?!? I dodged the attack, if only just barely, and looked to see who my attacker was which was a Nidoking. I flew in close and decided to see what was up with it. "Hey, what's the big idea?! You trying to hit me?!" I demanded. it just snorted and roared at me before speaking.
"I, Midas, challenge you to a battle oh Great Dragon God of Justice!!" Midas shouted at me, making sure to mock my title. I landed in front of him and growled, I was no stranger to these types of situations, a Pokemon thinking they're big and bad can easily take me down. But I always ended up kicking their a**.
"Very well, I accept your challenge Midas, and seeing how you initiated the challenge, you choose the rules." I said to him, he gave me a toothy grin.
"There is to be no flying of any kind, and you can't Mega Evolve either." Midas said, I nodded agreeing with the rules.
"Very well, I accept your challenge Midas." I said to him, teeth bared, "But know this, I won't go down so easily." with that said, the two of charged at each other, both of us letting out a roar as we met in the middle and began attacking each other, my blows seem to have little effect on him but his were doing quite a bit of damage due to him being bigger than the average Nidoking, I growled as I spun around and hit him with my tail, sending him back a bit.
Midas roared as he grabbed my tail and sun around and let go, sending me crashing through trees until I crashed into a large boulder. I shook my head and just had enough time to move out of the way as Midas rammed into the boulder, shattering it into pieces as he roared and charged at me, this time I was prepared as I moved out of the way and tripped him with my tail, causing him to fall to the ground hard. "Flamethrower!" I shouted, releasing a torrent of flames onto the Pokemons back, causing him to roar in pain before he turned to face me, a glow coming from his mouth as he released a Hyper Beam, I managed to have enough time to aim my Flamethrower at the Hyper Beam, both of our attacks trying to overpower the other.
Until I let out a roar as my attack overpowered his and hit Midas once again, blasting him across the ground until he hit a tree, I stopped my attack as I walked over to the down Pokemon, only to watch in mild shock as he got back up and laughed, "You're just as I expected, great Dragon God of Justice." he said, smiling at me,
"What did you expect?" i asked him,
"Honestly, a Charizard bragger and lier claiming to be the Dragon God of Justice, I'm glad you proved me wrong." he said, holding his hand out, "Midas, but I already told you that."
I accepted the handshake with a nod, "Draco." I said, smiling, "So, this was a test."
"Yep, not just for you but for me as well, I wanted to test my strength against you before I head out to the Knights of Justice main base." he said, then I saw that his arm had a necklace with Knights of Justice around his arm, and it was currently glowing.
"You're a Knight of Justice?" I asked him, he shook his head,
"No, but a friend of mine used to be. She's gone now." Midas said, a sad look on his face as he sat down.
"What happened?" i asked him, sitting next to him.
He sighed as he started to tell me his tale, "It was few years back, we were investigating a possible Followers of Destruction hideout...."
3rd POV, few years earlier
Two figures wearing dark purple robes sneaked through an alley, they sneakily looked around them as they did, making sure no one was following them. They eventually stopped in front of a door, knocking three times then stopping and knock two more times before a hatch slide open and a set of eyes looked at the two, "When death rains above," the figure said,
"Then so shall the followers." the two robed figures said, and the the door opened as a unicorn stallion let them inside, unaware that two figure were watching from the rooftop of a building. The robed figures followed the stallion down a set of stairs until they reached a large chamber where other robes beings waited,
"Report." the largest of them said, identifying themselves to be the leader,
"We have met with our brothers and sisters in Trottingham, they have agreed to bear the mark of the Dragon God of Death once more." one of the figure said, pulling down their hood to reveal a zebra mare, while the other was a griffon.
"But we have word that the Knights have also been waiting for the call of the fake god Charizard." the griffon said, causing those gathered in the chamber to laugh and insult the knights, until the leader silenced them.
"Let them wait, because we will be ready for them and this time, the Followers will succeed and the fake god Charizard will die!" the leader shouted, causing the room to filled with cheer, but they were silence when knocking was heard, which confused them as they were all there. They heard the guard at the door speak before a loud crashing was heard followed by a roar, they all got up as the unicorn fell t=down the stairs, his head bleeding as loud footsteps could be heard.
The Followers watched as Midas walked into the room, covered in armor with a large ax on his back, behind him was a pegasus mare who also wore armor, her wings had blades on them as she held a sword, but that's not what got the Followers attention, oh no, it was the symbol of the Knights of Justice on their chests, "Sorry to crash the party, but we didn't want to miss out on the fun."
"Windblade I presume, you think you and a Nidoking is enough to take us?" the leader asked her, who just shrugged and said,
"Does it matter when we kicked your asses?" then she flew at the large figure, most of the Followers tried to stop her but were instantly killed by a few expert swings of Windblades sword, while Midas crushed those foolish enough to try and escape under his large feet, when Windblade got close to the leader, she swung her blade at them only for them to ducked under it and deliver a vicious uppercut to the mare. She jumped back, dodging another punch from the leader, "You got some moves. Unfortunately, so do I!" she then charged again only the leader to throw some white powder in her eyes, blinding her, allowing them to kick her away from them as the leader turned to the rest of the Followers.
"Followers! Retreat to the shadows!" with that said, all of the Followers began to run into secret passageways and doors, Midas seeing this released various attacks on those who were too slow to escape. He ran to his comrade as she held a hoof out,
"Don't! just stop them from escaping! We can't let them gather in strength!" she said to him, he looked at worriedly as hesitantly followed the Followers down a passageway, Windblade seeing this as best as she can, looked and saw the leader o through a door, she got up and using one of the cups of water that was on the table, got the powder out of her eyes as she chased after him, the two going through many twists and turns as they ran, eventually the leader managed to lose the mare as they ran to a door and reached for the handle, only for a knife to hit the door, just inches from hitting them.
"You're not going anywhere." Windblade said as she walked over to the leader, her sword ready to finish off the murderer. "I'm not letting you get away again, not after you killed all those innocents."
The leader however chuckled darkly as they turned to the mare, "Very well, but allow me to show my true self before you die." they said as they removed their cloak and Windblade watched in slight horror as they walked to her, their shadow covering her completely as two glowing eyes glared at her. She readied her blade and charged.
"No! Have mer-" the Follower didn't get to finish as Midas chopped off his head, his armor covered in blood and ash, he looked behind him and saw the passageway caved in due to his Hyper Beam, successfully blocking the Followers escape, Once he was sure they were dead, he quickly ran back to the chamber and saw the door where no doubt his friend had chased the leader through, going in and following the scent of his friend, he eventually stopped when he smelled something, something the made his heart beat faster as he ran, praying that his friend is alright.
He stopped and stared in shock and horror at what he found, Windblades body with a pool of blood around her, he quickly ran to her and picked her up, she looked at him with a smile, "He..got away again...." she said weakly, Midas gave a small growl of comfort, she gave a small laugh in return, she held the side of his head as she had tears,"Hey....Don't....be ike..that...we both knew.. what we signed up for.....just promise me...you'll find that....b-bastard and avenge me..."
Midas had tears in his eyes as he nodded his head, Windblade gave a smile at this. "Thanks....and...remember....you're the bestest friend.....I could have....asked..for...." her hoof then fell limply to her side as Midas tried shaking her, begging her to wake up, when she didn't respond, he let out a roar of sadness and pain, and one of anger as well.
"After I got out of the tunnels, Cinder found me and had helped me bury her, to this day, I had vowed that nothing will get in my way of avenging her death." Midas said, staring at the ground, Draco nodded his head in understanding,
"I understand, and I'm sorry for your loss." he said to the Pokemon, patting his back. Midas gave him a weak smile,
"Thanks, but I'll feel better when I cleave that bastards head off with Windblades sword." Moidas said, growling.
"I wish you luck on your quest." Draco said, "If you want, I can lead you to our main headquarters." Midas smiled as he nodded his head,
"Thanks, I appreciate it." he said as he walked over to a boulder picked up a bag that was behind it, "Let's get going." witht hat the two walked through the forest in silence, often making small talk but the whole journey was in silence, they eventually reached Ponyville and the two saw the many passed out recruits, Midas gave a chuckle, "I'm wondering if I should second thought about joining this camp."
Draco gave a chuckle as well, "That's Cinder for you, but she'll gladly accept you into the Knights." he said as they walked over to said dragoness.
"Midas? Where have you been you overgrown worm?" Cinder said to the Nidoking as the two sook hands, "It's about time some real Knights show up."
"I'm not a Knight, just finishing a promise to a friend." Midas replied, though to Cinder it was mostly growls,
"No clue what you are saying, but we can fix that, we'll have a translation collar on ya in no time. Let me show you to your tent." she said as she led the Nidoking away,
"See ya Draco." he said before he and Cinder disappeared in the maze of tents.
"See ya Midas, I hope you avenge your friend someday." Draco said before walking to his tent and laying down on his bed, head filled with the story of Windblades death, 'I hope you can see the pain you are causing other one day Lucy.'
