Monstra Monstrum: Nuckelavee's Siege

Third Person-Grand Galloping Gala

Celestia looked over to the multitude of gunfire that had disrupted her speech to her esteemed guest from other countries. "I thought I told him not to purposefully disrupt the Gala." Celestia said before her sister walked besides her and rested a hand on her shoulder.

"We've known Occisar long enough to foresee this happening. He does not like parties." Luna said as she walked past Celestia, a martini resting in her navy blue hands. "Besides, I asked him to fetch something for me. Something that would aid the world in the long run." Celestia glared at her sister, Luna had always come to the defense of the teenage human.

Towards the wall sat the newly crowned Queen of the Griffins; Gilda. She wasn't much for authority, but she was well known for aiding in the communications between carnivorous and herbivorous species on the planet. It was because of her that the dragons had begun to migrate with less secrecy.

However, that meant nothing to what she just heard. The lunar princess coming to the aid of some stallion was almost unheard of. What creeped her out was the name Luna used to call the stallion. It was an old language, but almost necessary to learn since it was used to speak to other countries without a second party dropping in. Occisar, old tongue for killer, but used as a name was... Unsettling.

What she couldn't understand was why this Occisar was firing cannons during such an important time in the political world. Did he not care for it?

That's when it was heard, a baritone roar that reverberated around the room. Gilda immediately pulled out a pair of swords. Everyone in the hall was silent as guards pointed spears in all directions. All the warrior but the ponies were stood still. The Royal Guard shook to the point it was hard not to hear the shifting of metal plates.

Everyone's guard dropped as the cannon fire and roar ended. Was the creature dead? More accurately, was the manticore dead? That was the only thing that could have made that sound. Party guest tried to reason what that roar was.

"Guess it was nothing." Hey set said as his wife and him had climbed out from under a table.

Just then, the doors to the Gala were kicked open. There stood a boy, to those not native to Equestria, he had to be around 10 years old. That's what they could've gotten from his silhouette at the very least.

He walked in will a cart behind him. Harnesses once holding ponies now hung limply from the bar. Nothing more than the bottom half of corpses remained attached. Infact, a portion of the corpse was on top of the cloth covering the tall box within the cart. It was only noticable to those who were at eye leven with the princesses.

In the back, six ponies watch on with horror as an unknown species walked into the room, a miniature cannon in his hand, a cart covered in blood dragged by the other.

"Luna, I have your order." The creature said in a surprisingly deep voice. Jet Set glared at the boy as he opened his noble mouth.

"How dare you just barge in here! You have no right to..." He was silenced by the kid pointing the tiny cannon at the stallion.

"Shut up before I kill you." The kid didn't even spare a glance at the stallion. "As I said before, one delivery for Luna." The boy pulled the cloth off the box now clearly being a cage. A skinny monster reached for the unknown creature. "One Wendigo safely transported!"

"I see you've sustained heavy losses against the Wendigos. I'll ask if there are any volunteers who would be willing to fight with you." The boy raised his hand to silence the princess. This angered many of the royals attending the Gala. He had no respect for the mare who offered to help him replenish his forces.

"You have some nerve treating royalty like that..." A dragon yelled as he marched towards the kid.

"Enough!" Celestia yelled as she looked at the boy. "Do not challenge Occisar!" The whole room looked at the boy.

"This child is Occisar?" The dragon huffed in annoyance before sizing him up.

"Don't bother trying to kill him. He will kill you first. We had lost several nobles to his rather effective, yet barbaric methods." Occisar chuckled darkly as he looked up at the dragon, his hat falling off his head, and his barely contained anger let loose.

"Threaten me again and I will show you why I'm hired to kill Beast" The dragon backed away, Occisar's bloodlust and anger was a sight to behold as it even scared a dragon into submission. "We sustained no losses in capturing the Wendigo."

"What do you mean?" Luna asked, she suspected that they were ambushed by some kind of bandits on the way back.

"We ran into a different kind of Beast on the way through Canterlot." He did something he hasn't done since finishings his investigations on the Wendigo; open his monster encyclopedia. He stopped on a page showing a quadruped equine with a human fused to the back of it. "We were attacking by a Nuckelavee." Occisar pulled out a pencil and began writing in his book. "The one we faced was at least three stories tall by your standards. Conventional bullets hurt it, but standard silver did more damage." He stopped writing as he had just finished putting in the new information. "The three story Nuckelavee was a baby. I saw the mom, and that bitch was well over 40 meters tall. You know what that means right... Celestia?"

"Oh no." Celestia said in fear as she fidgeted with her hands.

"Exactly, that 'theory' that the Wendigos was some random coincidence, is false. I believe that someone is opening gates to my world and letting horrors in." Occisar stared blankly as he stared at Celestia with a saddened look. "That means you win the bet." Occisar looked up before shooting up at a window on the ceiling. "Mind picking that up, thanks."

Something fell through the glass. It wasn't a pretty sight as what fell through was the corpse of a half eaten mare. She had the Skull of Proving placed upon her right Brest to show she had passed the tests. The entire left side of her body was gone as entrails spilled onto the floor, her face was that of confusion before her gruesome, untimely death.

"Almost forgot!" Occisar had freed the Wendigo as those near it had gone to the farthest wall. The Wendigo charged at Occisar, hoping to have a tasty meal, only to meet a painful death. Limb by limb, Occisar had cut it to pieces before throwing salt on the corpse of the beast and lighting it ablaze. The fire turned blue, indicating a successful purging ritual, before it let out a loud ear piercing screech.

Occisar's Skull of Proving was much more different than a normal one. Where as it would be a replica of the Hunters species, Occisar's was made of a Wendigo's skull.

"We are unaware if there are other creatures in different parts of the world. Please consider having a Branch of the Monstra Monstrum within your country to fight these Beast. We were a force of two hundred and one baby Nuckelavee killed 199 Hunters. Keep that in mind when you think, but remember; we're professionals, not heros." With that Occisar left. The smoldering corpse of the Wendigo lied burning in the middle of the room, all but it's skull burned away. Occisar threw his shotgun at Luna, it was destroyed. "Bury Clover with that. It was her first creation." His bloodied form disappointed.
