Dragonbourne
#5 They bleed purple (Gore)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwo days had already gone by, as Spike, and Chrysalis had arrived at the village that The Ringmaster had told him was being terrorized by Demon's. The village was about the same size, as Starlight's village, only a bit smaller. Both of them arrived at the town area, finding the place to be simple. He could tell that the small community grew it's own fair share of crop's. Farm's were a part of the society with them growing carrots, melons, radishes, and even a few beet's here, and there. The only problem with the village itself was that the street's were empty....nopony in sight.
"Master, where is everypony?" Chrysalis asked with curiosity, as he looked around. He felt his Demon power's kick in, as he transformed into his Dragonbourne form, his sword at the ready. Spike the dragon looked around with his Demon sword in hand, as he spotted a bunch of ponies, but all of them cowered in fear, seeing his Demon form. They were all in hiding, from the Demon's who had been ripping this town apart piece, by piece.
"They are in hiding, they're hiding from the Demon's that have been bullying, and terrorizing them....it's time I do something about it" Spike snarled. The sound of atmospheric booming was heard, as many wing's unfurled, as multiple dragon's landed in front of him. These were types of dragon's that he had not seen before, and right now he could tell that these were Demon dragon's. The smell of sulfur, and methane boiled in the air with a bleeding hatred bubbling to the surface. That foul smell.....Spike could not stand the being's in front of him, being pure Demon dragon's.
These dragon's looked something like foot soldier's, which helped Spike confirm the rank's of the sinister Demon dragon clan. They all looked similar to male Night Furies, but were more demonic looking. The sword's that they carried were green ghost Scimitar sword's. The dragon's had a diamond shape underbelly, and a pointed leaf tail like Ember's. All of them snarled, revealing pointy teeth that were long, and sharp with their Demon fang's.
Black liquid dripped from their bodies, as one demon soldier snarled. "We were here first dragon....leave now, and we won't be forced to rip you apart." The Demon dragon snarled, as Spike smiled.
"Well them lucky for me, I didn't come here to have fun....I came here to kill all of you" Spike smiled, holding his sword at the ready, as one of the demon dragon soldier's immedietly recognized him.
"Wait a minute.....your suppose to be deceased...." One soldier growled, readying his blade, as another turned to him.
"What do you mean?" He asked, as the other soldier spoke.
"Those scales....there is only one breed of dragon in all the existence of dragon's that has THOSE scales.....YOUR HIM.....THE DRAGONBOURNE HALF BREED!!!!!!!" The soldier shouted, as all of the other soldiers got into an even tighter formation, prepared for anything. Chrysalis felt that this was a battle she should stay out of, and got to a safe distance, carrying the kart with her. Spike looked at the Demon dragon, as he raised his sword above his head, it's feathery tip glowing in a golden energy form.
"You're correct, and as you can tell I'm not here to make friend's......just enemies" Spike growled, as he swung his sword with a huge energy wave, slamming into one of the demon dragon's, slicing it in half, as purple blood sprayed everywhere.
"KILLL HIIIIIMMMMM!!!!!!!" One of the Demon dragon's screamed in rage, as all of them charged in.
"FOOL'S!!!!!!!!" Spike shouted, using his super speed to become a white blur, as he slashed his body into all of the Demon dragon's, wounding a few. After coming to a stop, he battled two Demon dragon's at once. Spike was not very skilled with the sword, but somehow his Demon instinct was countering moves that he had not seen before. Spike's guess was Draco was helping him out, as he battled two Demon dragon's. Both of these soldier's were skilled in combat, but thank's to his speed he was able to keep up with them.
Spike matched both of their blade's at once, but he was the better swordsman. Spike managed to push the first dragon's blade back, knocking him off balance. Spike struck quick, and fast with huge slashes from his sword. He slashed the dragon in an X formation....then in half, as purple blood gushed from the dead Demon dragon. The other angrily rushed in, but Spike easily sliced him in two from the left shoulder, down to the kidney, as purple blood erupted from his huge wound, and fell to the ground dead. "LET'S SEE YOU DODGE THIS!!!!!!!" The Demon dragon solider roared, as his claw began to glow. "GHOOOOSSSTTT.....CLOOUUUDDD!!!!!!"
The Demon dragon roared, as a purple mist with a haunting face charged at Spike. The mist seemed to be deadly, as the Ghost Cloud struck Spike, his body oozing out blood. Spike shut his eye, as he growled before unfurling his wing's, and blowing the mist away. Along with blowing the mist away, Spike had charged up his sword again, and growled. "Nice move.....now meet MINE.....LASER ARROW'S!!!!!!" Spike snarled in a deep voice, as an infinite amount of golden arrows appeared around him, their tip's pointed at his enemies.
"FIRE!!!!!!!" Spike roared, as he fired many of the tiny arrows that exploded on impact. Three of the Demon dragon soldier's torso's were blown high into the sky from their leg's, and then blown to bit's. More arrow's blew the other dragon's into some of the towers, many of them feeling the dark purple blood spewing from their wound's, after colliding harshly with some objects. Five had already perished from the impact, while the final four began to step up, heavily wounded...while Spike's wound's were rather minor.
"ALRIGHT THAT'S IT......GRIM REAPER!!!!!!!!" A dragon screamed, as a Grim Reaper appeared in a black smoke that the demon dragon had summoned, as it charged forward, and slashed Spike with it's huge scythe, vanishing into thin air. Spike felt his body fly in the air, feeling many new wound's. He began to struggle to get up, and realized he was rather bruised. Spike had enough, as he got up, letting his sword glow. With one, quick strike....Spike sliced one of the dragon's in half before his hand glowed a golden color, as lighting shot out of it. The raw golden electricity fried the second dragon, next to the first one
The two demon dragon's panicked, as they fired their deadly green ghost breath's, knocking Spike back with their combined force. Spike felt his eyes become enflamed, as his maw began to glow a bright blue, before an even powerful blue fire, erupted from his mouth. His fire easily overpowered the Demon dragon's combined attack, and blew them, and a huge chunk of the environment around them in a fireball. The well of the place was completely destroyed, but all of the Demon dragon's were completely killed, and butchered.
Spike growled, as all of the other ponies came out of their hiding places seeing the weapon that Spike used. "I'm outta here" Spike growled, as he turned around with his sword in hand, and walked off. Chrysalis came out of her hiding spot, as she saw Spike go back to the kart that she watched over, as he clutched his wound's. For some odd reason, Chrysalis did not like seeing him so....banged up. It felt like he was one of her hive Changeling's, when one of them got wounded, or hurt badly she would rush forward, bandage the poor Changeling back up, and would even sometimes sing to the hatchling.
"Master....you wounded" Chrysalis gasped, as Spike leaned on the kart, still bleeding, as he snarled.
"I'm fine" Spike growled, as he felt a ping from a certain holocommunicator that he brought out. "I didn't expect you to call me so quickly Ringmaster" Spike answered, as The Ringmaster chuckled at the end.
"That's okay Dragonbourne it seem's that I am in need of your services much quicker than anticipated, I need you back at the town we met at....there's a job that I need for you to do once you have dealt with the demon dragon's that I sent for you to kill" The Ringmaster explained, as Spike answered him.
"They've already taken care of, I am currently a little wounded right now, but I may be able to help you on your job" Spike explained, as The Ringmaster had a huge grin on his face.
"Perfect, I'll make sure I give you more supplies when you get back, and I may have found something that I'll give to you, as extra...but right now I need you to do this job for me, to build your reputation" The Ringmaster told them, as Spike nodded.
"Good, we'll be on our way" Spike replied, turning the transmitter off. He sheathed his sword, but still clutched his wound's, as he looked at Chrysalis for him to move on. "Coming?" Spike asked, as Chrysalis nodded.
"Yes Master.....I hate to say it, but your going to need to be patched up soon" Chrysalis told him, as Spike smiled.
"I can handle myself....for now" He growled, as they both began to journey back, but not before having an odd feeling of his wing's vanishing as if he never had them at all.
*****
The Demon Lord sat on his throne of the dark sinister energy that his power commanded. His eyes were a deep, dark yellow, while looking like he was the dragon version of Anubis, as a third eyeball made of energy watched between the twin black horn's on his head. The Demon Lord was not happy, as a matter of fact he was mad...he had called two of his elite member's to come to where he was at, as two of his best demon dragon's enter the throne room....the same demon dragon's who killed the Spike's father, and his mate. The two entered, as they both bowed.
"My Dark Lord....you were very cryptic for the two of us being summoned here....what is it that has you troubled?" One of them asked, as the Dark Lord snarled.
"The battalion of foot soldier's that you sent to bully at that one pony town.....I can sense that they have been destroyed" The Dark Lord spoke, as the other Demon dragon spoke.
"B-b-but.....how.....what weapon does that pony town have that can kill our demon dragon foot soldier's, and the heritage dark magic left by our Demon dragon kin?" The Demon dragon asked, as the powerful Dark Lord grabbed the huge broadsword that sat next to his throne, and snarled.
"They weren't slain by ponies.....they were slain by him.....they were slain by that pathetic half breed.....The Dragonbourne" The Dark Lord snarled, as both demon dragon's looked at their master in shock.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, THE MOTHER DESTROYED HER OWN EGG WITH HER FIREBREATH!!!!!!!" One of them shouted, as the other began thinking.....before coming across a realization.
"THAT WITCH.....SHE TRICKED US.....SHE GOT HER EGG IN THE HAND'S OF THE PONIES....AND HE WAS TAKEN TO SAFETY......HE LIVED!!!!!!!" The Demon dragon realized, as the Dark Lord stood up with his sword in hand.
"RAAAAAAHHH.....NOW HE'S ALL GROWN UP!!!!!!!" The Dark Lord screamed, as he swung his heavy sword around with his sinister magic before slamming it into the ground, then looked at them with fury. "I don't care how many of our forces it takes.....this Dragonbourne will take my throne, and is a threat to us.....Find him, and bring me his head" He snarled, as the demon dragon's nodded before leaving the throne room in quite a hurry, as The Dark Lord sat down. "If it's a war you want Dragonbourne......" He growled his sinister clawed hand, gripping his powerful sword.
".....then it's a war with the Demon Dragon race.....you shall have" He snarled, as he began his scheming to end Spike's life.
