The Punishment of the Villains
Chapter 7
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I will crush you!" Luna roared, pinning Sombra down onto the floor.
The stallion still looked a little green, but he fought back no problem. He threw a punch at her gut, and she coughed, stumbling backwards.
"As you were saying?" Sombra asked, bucking at her jaw with his hind leg.
Luna grunted, and narrowed her eyes, her horn glowing with a midnight blue aura. Sombra's purple essence began to burn off his eyes as his horn bubbled wickedly with a sickly black, purple, and green glow. His eye whites changed green, and they fired at each other, an epic battle before the alter of the Umbrum god, Temor.
Yaks and Umbrum fought one another down below in the throne room, blood staining the pretty crystalline floor and red carpet, and a pale looking Cadence covered Flurry Hearts eyes and ears with her wings and fore-hooves in the background. Shining Armour glared at the shadowy monsters, a hoof around his family as if one of the beasts might try to hurt them.
"You will not prevail you vile, wretched monster!" Luna spat, forcing more magic into her horn, and flying up.
Sombra stood, and squared out his feet, beads of sweat rolling down his fore-head. Some-how, Luna had managed to remove the crystals from her horn, making this fight a lot longer than it had to be. He gritted his teeth, and forced more of his energy and magic into defeating her.
"Luna!" Twilight cried as Sombra began slowly to over-take her.
Luna gasped as a gust of dark magic struck her down, hitting her in the chest. She let out a cry of anguish, falling to the ground with a loud thump. Sombra walked over to her, placing his hoof on her throat.
"Any last words princess?" Sombra cooed, stroking the side of her face in a loving manner.
"Get off me!" She bellowed, smacking him with a wing.
GORE SCENE
Sombra tumbled away, surprised, and Luna threw a kick at his gut. He let out a feral roar, and lunged, biting down on her wing. A small amount of blood trickled down her beautiful downy blue feathers, and she narrowed her eyes at him, shaking it violently to remove the latched on king.
Sombra forced her to the ground with an iron hoof, and twisted her wing. A sick snapping emitted, and she cried out in agony. Sombra continued to twist her wing, until it was horribly maimed, and nearly falling off. Blood poured out of the base of it, shards of a shattered bone poked out here and there. He spat out a couple of feathers that had been caught on his mouth, and grinned victoriously.
Luna narrowed her eyes at him, and bucked furiously at him, but he just danced away, chuckling evilly. "Enough games Sombra! Fight me like a real stallion!" She huffed, standing up shakily, and head-butting him.
Sombra stomped his hooves, eyes darkening wickedly as his horn began to ignite. "Very well!" He snarled, forming a black crystalline sword with his magic.
Luna dashed fore-ward, sending a hind-hoof at his chest. Sombra wheezed, backing up into a battle stance, sending the sword crashing down at her good wing. Luna cried out as it was severed, and more blood leaked out of her shoulders, turning her blue coat purple as the substance mixed with her fur. She reared up, slamming her hooves into him despite the searing pain in her wings, or wing. Sombra rammed into the floor due to her alicorn strength, and coughed up a small pool of blood.
Luna towered over him, a furious expression smeared onto her face. She smacked the sword out of his magic, and threw a punch at his face. Sombra grunted.
"That is just brute!" He hissed, kicking her in the chest.
"Look who's talking, cannibal!" She spat back.
Luna reared up once again, preparing to give him a harsh blow, but Sombra rolled out of the way. He blasted her in the wither with his aura, dissolving her maimed wing into ash. Luna bit her lip in agony, trying her hardest to tough it out. Sombra licked his chops in delight at her pain.
GORE SCENE OVER
"Your pain is delicious..Just not as good as your fear." He rumbled, struggling to stand up. He igniting his horn again.
Luna cried out as he shot a spell at her, attempting to dodge it by instinctively flying up. But she realized a second too late that she didn't have wings any-more. She let out another shout as her eyes turned a pale green. Sombra chuckled as she began to weep.
"No! Tia, get a way from the Tantabus!" She cried, reaching a hoof out to Sombra to either hug or touch him.
Sombra eyed the hoof, and side-stepped it, flashing the possessed mare a victorious and toothy smile. "I see..Day-Breaker is the dark side of your sister? And this Tantabus..Very intriguing. I would like to hear more about it..But at another time." He circled her slowly like a panther stalking his prey.
Twilight struggled in her bonds. "Release her Sombra." She commanded.
The umbrum chuckled at her. "Why should I listen to you?"
"...."
The battle down below showed the yaks slowly loosing to the umbrum. Sombra grinned from his spot high above them, licking his chops again as Luna's fears fed his magic. A bulk yak in silver armour galloped at him, roaring like an infuriated bear.
Sombra shot a crystal wall around the yak, trapping it swiftly. It looked around confusedly before ramming into one part of the wall furiously.
The stallion rolled his eyes, and cast another spell on the cage, making it slowly close in on the yak. It cried out as the crystals began to slowly and painfully crush him.
"I'm sick of waiting for Sombra!" Chrysalis shouted, flying into the air.
"I am the leader here! You promised you would submit to me, and I will not have you rebel. Not now. Sombra has clearly been defeated." The helhest king spat, eyeing the sun as it slowly reached its peak.
"I say we get the zombie army, then try our luck on the Equestrians." Tirek pipped up.
"I say you shut up!" Chrysalis snapped. "Your such a kiss up, a mothers boy!"
A small changeling flinched. "Is that bad mommy?" He squeaked.
Chrysalis descended, and stroked it lovingly. "Not to you my precious little baby! Whose mommies' prized larva? You are, you are, oh yes you are!" She cooed, snuggling it.
Tirek scoffed. "Oh wow. I'm beginning to wish I stayed with that annoying filly Cozy Glow." He huffed.
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" A changeling whined from somewhere suddenly. "Mommy! Pharynx said I was too weak to defeat as much ponies as he could."
"LIAR!" A changeling with purple eyes bellowed. "I'm over here! And of course I can beat up more ponies than you! I'm the best changeling out of all you cream puffs! Well..Besides the queen... I-I-I'm second best!"
The changelings began to riot, and attack one another.
Chrysalis groaned. "Patience my children. I know that the foolish umbrum Sombra is taking forever, but we must be patient. If we start fighting each other, then who will be left to fight the ponies?"
The changelings ceased their scuffling.
"Your majesty," the helhest guard spoke up to his master, "perhaps we should-"
"THE GATES WILL BE OPENED IN ONE MINUTE! JUST WAIT, AND QUIT YOUR WHINING!" The king snapped.
Tirek and the helhest guard shared a look and took a few cautious steps back. This plan of theirs was already falling to ashes before it was even born.
"Your majesty, it has been an hour, and the yaks are yet to come. Perhaps we should go now?" The guard asked, nervously twisting his helmet in his hooves.
Celestia, adorned with armour as brilliant as the sun, and a golden battle axe nodded. "Perhaps we should. Thank you for your suggestion Copper Blaze."
The guard nodded, and took his place among the lined up creatures. The earth ponies and beasts unable to fly sat in front, unicorns and Hippo-griffin's second, Pegasi and Dragon in the back.
"It's a pity. We could have had such an unstoppable force if the yaks where here." An earth-pony said to a hippo-griff with no wings.
He nodded in agreement. "The ponies know what they are doing. I just wish my wings hadn't been torn off in a bear fight a couple of months back."
Celestia smiled at the conversing creatures, and turned back to the other monarchs.
"Are we all ready?" She asked.
Lord Ember, bearing blue armour that was extra spiky around her spines nodded, and drew a spear from her back. Spike who was standing next to her gave his friend a thumbs up and a pat on the back. "Good luck!" He told her before running off to join Rarity and the others.
Queen Novo of the Hippo-griff's was wearing silver armour, and held a sword at the ready. "Let's kick these monsters back to hell where they belong!" She roared, flying up into the air.
Thorax flinched beneath his golden armour. "My people aren't monsters, they've just been corrupted by Chrysalis is all..." He muttered, looking down at his hooves.
"Attention all creatures!" Celestia said in her 'Royal Canterlot' voice. "As it has come to pass, there is another foe out to destroy our home for their own selfish purposes. The helhest's are very powerful despite their weak appearance. The changeling's are also cunning, so before we leave, I will put a special marking on your neck so you know who is a changeling and who is not. The umbrum are terrifying shadow creatures, also able to impersonate anyone they wish. They feed off your fears, and that makes them stronger. Your best hope would be to face your fears now. Please stand brave. Anyone who dies today, remember that you stood strong and loyal today. You will be honoured forever."
The creatures cheered at the sun princess' speech.
"Now lets get out there and fight like the beautiful bitches we are!" Ember added from behind her.
Celestia stifled a giggle, and flew up into the air. "It is time, and I am afraid the yaks and griffons will not be joining us." She turned and faced out to the horizon. "Please be alright Luna." She said to herself.
VARIOUS GORE SCENES THROUGH-OUT.
Rabia slammed her body into the yak prince named Rutherford, and he let out a cry of agony as he fell onto a crystal. It stabbed into his side, and blood gushed out of his wound. "You pathetic excuse for a ruler!" She jeered, summoning up another crystal that speared his heart.
The yak prince wheezed, and looked up lifelessly as the umbrum towering over him. "I fought..Hard...Yak prince...honoured for gener...gen..generations to..to..t.to come..." His voice faded, and he shut his eyes, falling into an eternal peace.
Rabia smirked at her handiwork, and looked up to see how the rest of the umbrum where fairing. 'Excellent! These foolish yaks have failed to defeat us. Soon we will rise up and join the helhest king in taking over Equestria, and ridding the world of disgusting love magic and ponies.' She glanced over to her son, who had pinned Luna to the ground. 'It appears my Sombra has dealt with the pesky alicorn...hmm... very good my son..'
The last yak fell then, crying out as his eyes were gouged out by shadowy crystals.
"Great job Ira!" Rabia cooed to her daughter who was ripping the yaks' body apart.
the little monster glanced up at her mother, and gave her a hideous smile. "Thank you mother!" She tore out a hunk of muscle, and began to munch on it. Blood trickled down her chin, and pieces of the yak flew everywhere when she spoke.
Rabia sighed in displeasure to her daughters eating. Ira was a very messy eater, and it irked the umbrum mother to no end-a secretive pet peeve. "Please...Wipe your mouth." She offered her little umbrum a piece of a yak's clothing.
Ira blushed and wiped her mouth. "Sorry mother." More tissue went flying every-where.
Rabia turned away, and inspected the prisoners at the top of the alter with Sombra. Luna was missing her wings. The rest seemed fine. She smiled in a sadists glee at the blood oozing out of the moon sovereigns withers.
"Forget the second sacrifice for now. It's time for us to go to the draugr king." She commanded the umbrum.
