A Dragons Redemtion

Sea of Ash

Smoke filled his lungs as he trudged forward. He had to get there he was so close. As he continued to walk he would hear the occasional explosion and weapon fire. He had told his army to attack from the west while he him self attacked from the north. Not one of his smartest plans, but it would work. He started to hear the sound of one of the dropships that the remnants used and got down on the ground blending in with the dead bodies. As he laid there he thought of Warfang The great city of the dragons, but the Nexus needed him the most so he had to leave. Leaving her behind was one of his biggest regrets. He soon heard the ship lift off and fly away, but that was soon accompanied by foot steps. the sound of bone and flesh hitting the ground came closer until he let out a war cry that would put even the strongest of dragons to shame.

He shot the ground below him and it exploded sending him up and he started to spin in a circle flying straight towards one of the soldiers. when he heard a wet crack he turned around to see that he had went right through him spraying his intestines' all over him and the ground. He took no chance jumped up and cut his head off sending it flying. Then he noticed there were two dragons there. He had just went through the third. They were both bigger than him by far. If he remembered correctly he was was only a quarter of the guardians height.

"You will pay for that Demon!" the dragon on the left said he could see red scales and an orange under belly.

'Typical fire dragons always have the basic scale color nothing ever creative' he thought as he readied himself for a fight.

The fire dragon charged at him letting out a war cry, but then one they called demon jumped up climbing onto his back and start slashing the back of his neck. As he finished he crawled up his neck jumping up. prying open his mouth, he spit a ball or purple fire a couple of inches above him and caught it. As demon punctured it with his claws it it started to flicker. He then threw it inside of the fire dragons mouth, he jumped off back kicking his jaw up stunning the Fire dragon and soon he was fine.

"Is that all you got Tiny Dem..." that is all the fire dragon could let out before his chest exploded and all of his insides came spilling out.

"You monster!" the other dragon said the same element but with a maroon tent and a more shininess to the scales. He too made the mistake his comrade did and charged at him pulling out a sword in the process.

He swung the sword, but missed he soon realized his mistake and found himself staggering backwards, but when he looked back he soon found his sword inside his head his own brain flying out the other side.

"Such idiots." The small dark scaled dragon said as he walked towards the volcano that was glowing purple. He heard the sound of thrusters and turned around the see two glowing blue eyes as a dragon made of metal stood before him.

"Sir the plan you have so ignorantly made has actually work. The troops are now moving through the front gates keeping them busy as you requested." the metal dragon said as he listened to every detail she would go on the explain.

"What are your next orders Shadowfall?" The metal dragon said as Shadow looked around until his eyes set back up at the volcano.

"There. Dark Cloud I need you to drop me off at the top of that volcano I am going to end all of this." he said as Dark Cloud called for her Dropship. Which confused the small Dark magic wielding dragon. She could fly and is made of metal why in the world she needed one of those from the old research facility was beyond him. As she got into the cockpit, she started the engines and took off towards the peek of the volcano.

"sir your requested LZ is too hot. Might I add quite literally." Dark Cloud said as she flew around.

"Land on that cliff side as close as you can!" Shadowfall said as he pointed to the cliff face. Dark Cloud flew down and got as close as possible. Dark Cloud pushed a couple of buttons and saw that the auto pilot was engaged.

She went to a rack with her usual gear. Mobile Flake cannons, shoulder mounted rocket launcher, a C-75 Laser assault rifle it shot blue laser bolts and could hold up to 33 a mag, and finally her favorite out of it all was her wrist blade. She activated it and it produced a red glow that even being a machine she could feel the heat coming from it. She deactivated it and got her most commonly used weapon, her twin shouldered mounted C-403 assault rifles that shot a red bolt instead of blue because she liked blue and red.

She went and stood in front of Shadowfall as she prepared her built in shield. As for shadow he preferred typical Shoulder mounted Assault rifles with regenerating ammo. He pushed the side of his helmet and a visor spread over his face.

"wait I have a question?" Shadow said as he just realized something.

Dark Cloud just raise one of her mechanical eyebrow.

"where did you get all this stuff?" He asked genuinely confused.

"Every time we go into an advance facility from the old ages I take what ever gear I can grab." Dark cloud said with her monotone voice like as if she was telling this to a full grown adult.

"That makes more sense now that I think about it." Shadow said As Dark Cloud opened the ramp and they charged out.

Shadowfall Shot up with a start as he replayed that memory over and over and over again.

Letting out an irritated sigh he tried to go back to sleep when he had heard screaming and the cry for help. He just shrugged it off and went back to sleep only for the screams to wake him up again. Then something was triggered inside of him.

He found himself in a city he knew all too well. It was Warfang, during the peek of his father's rule. The Great Shadow Demon and he was the generally. He turned around and saw that there he was brutally cutting, slicing, and even murdering everyone in his sight. The guardians and the purple dragon came for him and he got ready for a fight until it was just the guardians that stood before him.

"You will end this Demon!" Terrador said as the earth guardian snarled.

He heard that chuckle way to many times to count and he hated it every time.

"You think you can stop me? I have waited and rotted IN FUCKING HELL FOR 100 FUCKING YEAR FOR YOUR ASSES TO BECOME WEAK SO I COULD ESCAPE!? I am not going back." The corrupted version of himself said in which made the Earth dragon charge at me only to be halted by a cloaked figure.

It was bipedal, had fur on its legs as there were rigs on its thighs that glowed a dim red. as the cloak was removed it was revealed to be the one creature he hated the most. his name was...

"FAKE! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS!" His Corrupted self said.

"You know as well as I that I had too." Fake said as he stood there.

Fake and his corrupted self charged at each other, but right before they could meet in the middle everything came back to normal. He started panting and looked up in direction of the screams and un furled his wings which one of them had its webbing glowing a Maroon color and was made of metal and flew off towards the noise.

The CMC were running for what felt like hours, but in reality was just a couple of minutes. The Timberwolves were going to have their meal. They kept running until they came to a dead end where a crevasse was in front of them. They went to run the other way only to be met with the wolves. The closed their eyes ready to meet their fair, when the heard a bark and then heard the wolf pounce onto them then they heard a whining noise. They opened their eyes to see a dragon that quadruped rather then bipedal. They noticed that the dragon had black scales with a maroon under belly with two dark purple ears behind his horns that were as big as his ears. His eyes glowed with red and black as he stared down the wolves. As the wolves looked at the dragon they began to hesitate until their hunger clouded them and they charged at him. Shadowfall side stepped it and and brought his tail blade which was in the shape of a scythe.

He watched as the head of the Timberwolf rolled over to its companions. They slowly backed up knowing that it wasn’t worth the trouble and ran off. Shadow went over to the body and picked it up, dragging it to the ledge and rolled it over the edge waiting until he heard the noise of would hitting rock. In which he did not have to wait too long until his queue was heard.

He turned and saw that his true height compared to the ponies was that he was just a couple of inches taller than them.

“What are you three doing out here?” He asked with irritation evident in his voice.

They just stared at him in wonder. Letting out an irritated sigh he started to walk away until a voice stopped him.

“Wait!” The orange filly said which made him turn around which made the young girl shrink. “Um we don’t know where to go.” She said which made his eye twitch.

Before he came to the fact he would just eat them alive he went against it and gave in.

“Fine follow me but you stay near the entrance of the cave at all times do not and I will say it again do not go deeper into the cave got?” He said with the most sternness he could muster. He saw all three of them nod and he turned around and gestured for them to follow him.

Sea of Ash

The ramp opened and Dark cloud Activated her shields as projectiles and magic bounced off her shield as she moved forward ever so slowly until she came to a stop as she raised the shield and slammed it down into the ground only for it to expand and raise allowing it to form cover.

“So what now?” Dark Cloud asked. As Shadowfall though for a sec as Dark Cloud peeked over and used her Shoulder mounted C-75 assault rifles or as she called them her SMC-75. As she opened fire she hit two enemies in the head killing them instantly.

“ I got it! Do you have the mortar mount?” Shadowfall asked.

“Yes sir I do, why sir?” She asked

“ I need you to fire it Northwest 150meters up on that hill.” He said pointing in the direction. In which she nodded and pulled out a cylinder attached it to her Flak cannon and fired sending the bomb shell arching over to the rocks above them killing everyone under it. That only left the five remaining troopers.

“They are all yours Shadow.” Dark Cloud said as she gestured to the troopers and Shadowfall, with a large flap of his wings took off into the air and let a dark magic crystal appear in his paw as he brought a into the troopers eye making him freak out as soon his head would explode in a gory mess. He soon heard the sound of a trooper drop ship and found himself surrounded. It was not long until Shadowfalls’s radio cracked to life.

“Do you need help sir.” Dark Cloud said as for he could have sworn he heard a cocky ness in her voice, but just dismissed it.

“No I am fine.” He said questioning his own answer. He looked around him and there was at least twenty troopers. He activated his Assault rifles and readied them for a fight as he activated a wrist blade as well that was purple that had fumes coming off of it. One of the troopers let out a war cry as they all charged him.

He saw sword come for his neck as he duck under it in which it went past him and cut another trooper in half making his guts spill out onto the ground as he screamed. Shadowfall jumped up and landed on his head as he opened fire on the trooper’s head until it was Mother but mesh. He flew up again ground pounding sending some of the troopers staggering back. Shadowfall brought himself close to the ground as he two weapons start to spin in a circle opening fire as they shot in a circle killing anything that got too close. He shot the ground sending him up and landed on another trooper in which Shadow swung his wrist blade cutting half of the trooper’s head off letting the half brain fall onto the ground. He spun right around and jumped onto the chest of a trooper and slammed his fist into the troopers chest as he ripped the heart out and crushed it. He soon pulled out a glowing purple orb which he punctured with his claw which made it flick and he threw it into the hole making it explode making his insides go flying everywhere.

He landed on the ground and stood there looking at the carnage before him. He heard the sound of metal steps and turned to see Dark Cloud the only family he had left and they were going to finally end this nightmare once and for all.
