Dragonbourne
#38 The Silence of the Void
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe dream that Rarity had of herself, and Spike were not only becoming clearer, but also stronger. Of course when she was the one who woke up first, she simply did her best to pay it no mind, while having her handsome drake on top of her, and still inside her. The memories of last night came to her mind, as she sighed blissfully.....enjoying the small bit's of rest that she could get. Eventually Spike woke up with a loud yawn, slipping out of her with a wet shlick. Spike looked into her eye's proudly before they both got themselves cleaned up.
Chrysalis had also woken up, and got herself ready for the day. After Spike stepped out of the shower, he felt that same sensation again. He transformed once more into his demon form, before turning bacl into his Dragonbourne form. Spike's body created yet another Dragonbourne gem that was a cosmic color before he collasped to the ground, breathing heavily with the gem in hand. This time Chrysalis let herself become the one who would insert the gem properly into Spike's body, as he prepared to power up.
This time she needed to get the number 14 in order for Spike to get his newfound power. It took a little longer to decrypt the symbol itself before it finally turned into the number it was looking for. Rarity had quickly gotten out of the shower, and saw Spike enter his transformation. She continued to watch Spike getting his new power, but a part of her mind began to hurt. Once again that same voice from within her dream spoke out to her. "Come.....to.....me...." It spoke in an eerie tone, as Rarity did her best to shake it off.
Once again the number turned back into the symbol, and gave Spike a new weapon, or a case of attack. Spike changed into his Demon form again before feeling the power in his new hand's. Spike opened up his palm, and blasted a wave of universal, cosmic, fire that caused a new level of destruction before he retracted it. "The Cosmic Dragon Fire....the last weapon exceeded from the previous bow's that I have evovled with the other three Dragonbourne gem's, this one will be helpful" Spike said out loud before turning back into his Dragonbourne form.
Chrysalis was sharpening her sword before she got up with her weapon at the ready.
"So when are we going to take out the next member of the Seven Demon Fang's?" Chrysalis asked, as Spike was the first one to speak.
"Well first thing first.....we have to make sure that we are far from the city, and that the caravan isn't in the way of getting damaged" Spike explained, as Chrysalis smiled.
"Let's move" She noted, as Spike nodded in agreement, jumping on the ATV that he had gotten from a gem, and began to drive, as far away from the town they were near before arriving at a good fighting spot.

"HOW IS HE NOT DEAD!?!?!?!?!?!?" The Demon Lord roared angrily when he thrashed his sword into the wall. Demetria was powerful enough to be succesful to kill the Dragonbourne, but somehow he had only gotten a few scratches from the battle. There could be only one explanation....he had help. Someone with their own fighting style was able to make a very skilled demon dragon be caught off guard from it's attack's....or perhaps Demetria had understimated the well-co-ordinated duo, and that had gotten him killed.....it had to be the second one.
The Demon Lord went down to the secret room, as he once again summoned the rest of the Seven Demon Fang's. Zoilo let out a few click's, and growl's of confusion which Sicili was able to understand, turning to The Demon Lord. "He's right, why have we been summoned here, The Dragonbourne is deceased....right?" Sicili asked, as The Demon Lord shook his head.
"Wrong....The Dragonbourne had help, he chose a warrior to aide him in his conquest. She has her own deadly type of magic, and is very well co-ordinated with The Dragonbourne himself. Demetria made the mistake of underestimating the Dragonbourne's power, and she gave him the opening he needed to kill our next member" The Demon Lord explained, as Rufo let out a snarl.
"Of course he would hide behind his friend....what a coward" Rufo growled, as The Demon Lord spoke.
"The two of us cannot underestimate the allies he bring's into the battlefield, until the right time come's......we must make sure that he is defeated. For now it will still be one of you who will go out to kill the Dragonbourne, and the alllies he currently has with him.....hold your sword's out, and we shall see who will be chosen to end the Dragonbourne" The Demon Lord ordered, as all of the Seven Demon Fang's put their sword's out together, while the dark purple orb began to circle their sword's, as each one of them readied for their fight.
Finally the orb landed on Zoilo's, Sword of Blood, as he let out a series of click's, and beast like laughter....finally relishing on killing The Dragonbourne. He journeyed to find his opponent using the picture of what he saw at the beginnig to give him an idea of what his enemy looked like before taking off.

Rarity was slowly starting to become more, and more out of it, the more she went on the trip. She had begun seeing that same dream all again, but was now seeing it when she was awake. Not only that, but the voice she had heard in that dream had become louder, and louder. Rarity was almost having enough of these dream's, and now decided to speak with Spike. "Um....Spikey.....can I....tell you something?" Rarity asked, as Spike had stopped the ATV, and simply was looking around for a place to put the caravan out of the way.
"Spike I have been having this dream of me becoming like Nightmare Moon, but different, and the two of us were fighting. At first I thought it was just dream, and now I see it when I'm awake, and....I also hear a voice" Rarity told him, as Spike froze turning to the unicorn mare with concern in his eye's.
"I may have to be guarded with you than before....for now Rarity until this battle is over, I'll need you to stay in the caravan, and when we defeat the next demon dragon....we can figure your dream out. I'd love to really be next to you, and comfort you right now....but with the next of The Seven Demon Fang's coming after us it will have to wait" Spike told her, as Rarity gave him a warm smile, and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank's Spikey" She said softly, as Spike gave her a smile. He once again drove the ATV, and the caravan into a safe spot out of the way, and got ready to fight his enemy with Chrysalis joining him. Both of them didn't have to wait long, as a giant black hole opened, and instead of sucking them in like normal.....a dragon walked out. This was by far one of the creepiest of the Seven Demon Fang's he had seen. He looked like a combination of flamey, and oily, as he strolled out like a giant zombie. His body floated off the ground, and his wing's looked like they were giant black leaves.
His body was almost genie like, except with oil. He had five creepy eye's that moved around on his face, as it let out a series of click's, and grunt's. Spike could tell that this Dragon couldn't speak because it didn't have a mouth. "Are you one of the Seven Demon Fang's?" Spike asked, as Zoilo used a small use of his liquid to create a small bubble with bright glowing purple letter for Spike to read. "I am Zoilo of the Seven Demon Fang's.....you, and your allies shall die today" The bubble quickly popped, as he pulled out his sword, and charged at Spike.
Zoilo had started off with a quick attack, but Spike was fast enough to block the incoming blow. Chrysalis darted to the other side, and went to slash the demon dragon from behind. Zoilo was prepared, as he created a small Black Hole, and teleported out of the way. Using the Rune Prison was not going to work this time...not without him using the original Black hole attack. This demon dragon was going to be a tough one to kill with his teleporting ability. After Chrysalis missed, Zoilo teleported further away, as he used The Blinding Light attack.
Spike stumbled back blinded, but Chrysalis had her back turned....not being to see the attack. She turned around, and charged at her enemy quickly, while Zoilo fired multiple Cannon ball's at Chrysalis knocking her back with powerful explosion's. Chrysalis was knocked back, and was bleeding, while Zoilo used the Astro Hit to summon two war meteor's, and slam them into Spike's side's. Spike collapsed from the attack, as he snarled....feeling like he had a few broken rib's. Zoilo fired more Cannonball's at his opponent, blowing Spike back.
Having enough....Spike decided to find a way to level the playing field. Spike pulled out his dual wield ability, and brought up his wing's, as he charged at Zoilo with full speed. The demon dragon quickly opened another Black Hole, and teleported through it before coming up behind Spike, slashing at his wing's. Spike roared in pain, as he turned around, and fired his lightning.
Zoilo had teleported, while Chrysalis flew toward Spike with an idea. This time Spike propelled the Changeling to where he was going to teleport. After he emerged, and the Black Hole faded, Zoilo roared in pain from feeling Chrysalis's sword impaled into him. The demon dragon quickly kicked her off, amd teleported again, and began slashing at Chrysalis. The Changeling Queen took some of the pain, while trying to attack the demon dragon. Spike tried to charge at Zoilo, but he once again teleported. The demon dragon soon centered himself in front of Spike, and Chrysalis ready to deal more damage.
Zoilo was super tough, and his teleportation made him prevent from getting too hurt. This opponent was already challenging for Spike, and he needed an answer.....fast. Spike had an idead, as he rocketed toward the ground, while Chrysalis followed him sending powerful beam's of energy at their opponent. Zoilo knocked these aside, as he fired Cannonball's at them. Spike brought out the Storm bow, and fired a shot to the ground, creating a tornado that they both went in, thankfully not being able to harm them.
Zoilo knew he couldn't use his teleportation, or his Black Hole ability without exposing himself. For now...the demon dragon waited for the storm to end. The Dragonbourne soon emerged from the tornado, and charged at the demon dragon at normal speed, and began trying to kill him. Zoilo parried every move he made, as he finally beat The Dragonbourne, and gave him a powerful slash. Instead of seeing purple blood fly, green blood bled from his wound's. The Dragonbourne's eyes turned green, and morphed back into Chrysalis who had a devious smile on her face.
Zoilo was too suprised that he was facing a Changeling, and had fallen straight into their trap. Chrysalis immedietly got out of the way, as Spike zoomed at Zoilo full speed when his tornado collapsed. The demon dragon attempted to create a Black Hole to escape, but was too late, as Spike began slamming into him back, and forth with his air superspeed, keeping him trapprd in his slashing state. The Demon dragon roared in pain from the attack, and was rendered helpless. With a final powerful attack Spike charged all the way forward, and made him explode into a pair of blood, and gut's.
Spike finally stopped, as he let out a huge sigh, taking a breather. Chrysalis was also gasping for breath from helping Spike with his battle, as both of them settled down from their fight. A loud boom was heard, as the two saw what they had not expect to deal with in time. Landing in front of them...after coming out of the caravan was none other than Rarity. Unforutanetly, this wasn't the normal Rarity....but Nightmare Rarity who stood in front of them, beautiful, lustrous.....and now wanting to conquer everything.
"Chyrsalis.....get to the Caravan, as quickly as you can.....I need to fight this battle alone so that we can save her" Spike warned, as Chrysalis nodded.
"Be careful with her Master.....make sure you don't harm her" Chrysalis warned, as she headed back to the caravan, while he turned his attention to Nightmare Rarity.
"Don't worry.....I won't" Spike told her, as he prepared to face Nightmare Rarity.
