Displaced Hunger
Chapter 4: Gaining Influence
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke from the bed, I wanted to go outside but I didn’t want to walk through the filth barefoot. I focused some of them magical energy within to create a barrier around my feet and legs. Applejack frowned (So what is the plan?)
I grinned as I left the house (To start showing dominance, which means find one of the street gangs that live around here and take them over. By beating them to a pulp.) I smirked as I walked down the street, it wasn't hard to draw the attention of one of the stronger local gangs. I was walking through their turf.
They were a bulky group all of them wearing dark blue jackets, their four leaders were at the front. One was dark blue Griffon, the second was a silver Dragon, the third a dark brown Minotaur and the fourth a white Unicorn. Behind them was twenty Ponies, thirty Griffons and several Minotaurs. The Griffon stepped towards me “I am Gallion the griffon, the dragon is Ironside, the Minotaur is Morath and the Unicorn is Magenta.”
I grinned as Morath drew his axe moving towards me, I drew my sword and in one clean motion I cut his head off. My eyes glowed orange as I fired a ball of solar fire melting the dragon in slag. Gallion rushed at me as Magenta fired off magical spells. I grinned (Rainbow, your up.)
Rainbow’s cocky voice filled my mind (Let’s show them how awesome we are!) I dodged the spells with ease, I sent a blast of darkness at Gallion. He was consumed by the darkness, Magenta froze as I turned to her. She was shaking as their followers were watching horrified, I pointed at her. Gallion emerged from the shadows but now half of his skull was exposed his eye glowing a deep purple.
I watched as some of his organs spilled out as he marched towards her, he pounced on her. He pulled out her right eyes and dangled before her left, he then ripped her leg off and force fed it to her. He made a sharp incision and pulled out her liver, their her kidneys, then her stomach. He then ripped out her heart showing it to her face as the life left her remaining eye.
I turned to the gang “Now you work for me, you do as I say. I’m sure you understand the consequences.” Gallion decrepit body turned to them with a smirk that matched my own, I chuckled internally (Thanks Daybreaker, your knowledge of the necromantic arts were very useful. I have a feeling I will need more dark powers in the future.)
I could tell Daybreaker was smirking as she spoke (I’m glad I finally get to show the world what I am capable of.)
I commanded them “Take me to your hideout. I need to know exactly what you are capable of.” My new gang shivered as they guided me to their hideout. When we arrived I could see it was a dingy building made of scrap metal with Graffiti all over it, the neon sign read Gallion’s Raiders.I sighed, this was going to be a mess to clean up.
It was far worse inside, every surface that wasn't a chair or floor was covered in grease. Pizza stains covered the walls, Applejack commented (If Rarity saw all of this, she would have a fit!)
I growled “Okay, your first duty as members of my gang is to clean up this entire place from top to bottom! Now you all better start cleaning this place up, otherwise I will kill you!”
One of the members looked at us “But we have no cleaning supplies boss?”
I snarled “You idiots, then go and find some! It’s not that hard, use your brain!”I smirked as the entire gang bolted from the place, I decided to investigate the dorms. The undead Gallion following me up the stairs, the upper floors were just as filthy as were the rooms save four at the end. These must have belonged to the leaders, I walked into Gallion's room telling him to wait outside as I laid down in his bed. I had nothing to do but wait for them to return and clean up the place before any action is taken.
I heard Rainbow’s voice (So what do we do next?)
I grinned (We subjugate the rest of the gangs and then take over the city, but as of now I need to go and find food before the hunger overtakes me.) I exited the room, walking through the halls were several of my gang were cleaning the walls. “I’m just going out to get something to eat.” Gallion followed me, as I did so.
I exited the hideout, only to see few individuals skulking around. Two griffons were looking very appetising today, I ran over to them and grabbed them by their necks slamming them into the ground. I then dragged them back to the hideout, I carried them into the nearest bathroom cleaning the mud off them.
A few of the gang members turned to me “You said you were getting food” I smirked as I ripped into one of the griffon's side with my teeth ripping off flesh, their eyes widened in horror. I spat the feathers onto the floor. One of the griffons brought a pot over, putting the feathers I spat out in there.
I devoured my food, one of the griffons waking up mid way. He tried to escape, but I held him nice and still while I finished dining on his flesh. I looked at the pot full of feathers, I was about to stand up when I heard an unfamiliar voice in my head (I need your help. Chaos has awakened and you are the only one who can stop it from spreading.)
I frowned (Why should I listen to some random voice in my head? Explain yourself.)
The voice responded (I am the Tree of Harmony. My reasoning for contacting is the embodiment of chaos and disharmony Discord is about to return, without the elements active to seal him away due
to your actions he will cause disruption across the entire world. It starts off small but his actions become wilder and more destructive the longer he is free. He is in Canterlot as of now)
Applejack frowned (We need to something about this or this will ruin our plans.)
I nodded (Yes, besides this my responsibility. Don’t worry Harmony, I will handle this promptly Just don’t expect me to pull my punches.)
I stood up, turning to the gang “I have an errand to run. I expect you too keep this place clean while I’m gone, or else there will be trouble. Gallion will be watching all of you while I’m away.”
I grinned (Daybreaker, I need you to aide me in teleporting to Canterlot.)
Daybreaker chuckled (Sure, I have wanted to have a go at that chaos serpent for a long time.) With that thought we were in Canterlot but it was already in chaos.
