The History Of Comber!
A Demonic Awakening! A Troublesome Target! Is This The End?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"what's up Blade?"
Granfer turned around in his chair. He was eyes to-eye with Blade who was sitting down in the desk chair.
"Seems like Comber saw what happened to Traitors."
"Indeed he did. If he had any intrusive thoughts of leaving, he wouldn't now. Haha."
"Agreed sir."
"How's the organization looking?"
"Unit status: Good production. Probability of 2 more traitors from what I've heard. Cleanliness: Very good. Nome is a great listener as well as worker."
Granfer slowly got up from his chair and started to pace around Blade's position. The air felt misty. Something was off.
"Excellent news. Who are these two potential upcoming traitors?"
"Sara and Sabrina."
Granfer casually walked back to his desk, pulling them up with a magic sphere. He searched for the workers in question. Many stars disappear until two ponies are made of stars, twinkling brightly. It zoomed in on their actual position, revealing them on in their unit. Granfer knew they sounded familiar. Two workers from the same unit? Does that unit manager know about this?
"Blade. You know what to do right? Alert that unit manager. In fact. Have the evidence laid down on my desk of these two traitors scheming."
"Understood sir."
Blade extended both forehooves on the desk, closing his eyes as magic focused and flowed through his hooves. A magic video was created, revealing Sera and Sabrina talking, but this time with audio.
"I'm getting sick of this place."
"I can't blame you. The way we're looked at. It's brutal."
"You mean that fact we can't even leave the unit unless we want to be looked down upon, and bullied because of our gender?"
Granfer didn't like what he was hearing, but so far it seemed like they were being bullied here. That's no surprise since most of the workers here are trained to have iron skin. The part about the reason though isn't acceptable.
"Exactly! And management doesn't even do anything about it! They just let the shit happen."
"I'm not even kidding I received this bloody nose because I accidentally in front of a colt yesterday when leaving."
"Yeah I bucking remember that! That colt wanted to do some nefarious acts with you as well..."
"Disgusting. Luckily a red mane and tail colt stopped him."
Both mares were standing up at their desk, talking across the room. Why aren't they working? Where's the unit manager?
"So Comber's preventing bullying. Not really father like is he?"
Granfer tapped his hooves on the desk as he remembered working long ago with Coomber. How much does Blade know about that colt? It's not that he doesn't care it's because he views them as lower lifeforms. As he was also taught too. Blade removed his hooves from the desk, the ball remaining there as Granfer requested.
"I guess so sir. And of course I knew him long ago. But that was a long time ago."
Blade's eyes opened, revealing a serious expression all together.
"Let's address the matter at hoof. So there's some matter of employees beating the crap out of other employees because of petty things."
Blade smirked.
"Welcome to the organization Granfer."
"No! This is not welcome to the organization Granfer, Blade!"
Blade smirk grew into a grin.
"Sorry. I had to."
"The fact of the matter is employees come here to work. Not act as if this is a prison!"
"Well you do have a policy of them being late they get servely punished."
"First of all with the pay they are getting they shouldn't ever be late."
Blade was about to speak but was cut off by Granfer.
"And second I can assume what's going through your mind. Then why not allow them to quit? Many reasons Blade. One is because of the God we worship and second... I don't know...? Maybe they will rant their mouths off to the authorities. Fake tears in there eyes as they speak and hope for a lesser punishment from the law for what they done."
"Yes. I presume that was the reason. Thanks for the recollection."
Blade spoke with a slight smile forming on his face. Granfer eyes focused back to the ball. Causing Blade's to do the same. An Erie presence filled the atmosphere of the room.
"Let's focus back to the problem at hoof. Why do you think an employee would turn traitor?"
Blade pondered for a couple of seconds before replying.
"Because of many factors sir. For one. Bullying. Two, them being tricked and force to stay and work here definitely have a physiological effect on a pony. Number 3. The pay isn't high enough."
Granfer raised an eyebrow. He knows damn well Blade better be joking.
"Um... You're joking on the third one right?"
Blade sarcastically chuckled. Welp that was Granfer's answer. Blade switched the camera of the magic ball to the main lobby. Reviewing some past footage.
"Well, well. What was that employee trying to do?"
"Seems like Comber has tooken the role from you Blade?"
Granfer looked back up to spot Blade was no where in sigh. What the buck did he tell him last time!? Granfer assumes Blade was going to take care of that potential traitor. Huh? So words can affect Blade.
Comber was making his way to his next destination. Always good to get some fresh air out of that nasty place. As Comber was turning he turned his watch on again. The air really do feel fresh. Comber took a deep breath in, then exhaled.
("Says he's on the outskirts of Flustered Town.")
Comber rushed through Flustered down, looking for a pony that matches Rubble's description. He searched around and around but couldn't find him. Comber turned to his watch again and spotted him moving.
("Coward must've saw me coming.")
("Haha. I love it when they run.")
Comber adjusted himself in the direction Rubble was heading, growing a smile as he was ready to carry out his contract.
("Just like I said with Archie. You can't hide or run from me.")
Before Comber knew it he was already out of Flustered Town. Rubble running as fast as he can Comber presumed.
("I know you've sent Comber after me. I could care less. I'm already about to lose myself.")
A sound could be heard, like a scratching of metal but inside his head. What's going on!? Rubble's ears began to bleed. He knew something of the paranormal was taking over him but wasn't sure what type though. As he leaned against an ally cold stone wall, sliding down it next as the pain in his head intensities. A gust of wind blew past Rubble. That's Comber, Rubble knows it. Good he thought.
"Tha-thank goodness! Ahhh!"
What the heck is wrong with this colt Comber wondered. He yelled after thanking him? Then grabbed his head. Maybe a huge headache? Comber walked towards Rubble, attempting to calm him down. Of course he still has to kill him but something wrong with him and it seems to be mentally. Rubble slapped Comber's hoof away from his forehead. Turning and moving in the opposite direction.
"Go-go! Save yourself! Please kill me!"
Save yourself? What is this traitor talking about? Is he that cocky and stressed that he thinks he can kill Comber? Comber stood his ground.
"N-no! I- please! Kill me! Fi-fine!!"
Rubble reached for Comber's hoof with the knife in it, attempting to slit his own throat. Comber pulled his hoof back, causing Rubble to fall on his back. Before Comber knew it Rubble wass back on all four hooves, hitting against the ally walls. Comber thought he was just stalling for time to breath. A grin formed across the assassin's face. What a pathetic attempt. Comber walked towards the distraught colt, who was holding his head with intense gripping. He fell down on his hooves, facing the opposite direction of Comber. His eyes switching from their natural color, to a different color, one that resembles a demonic possession.
"N-n-no!! Please kill me Comb-!"
Rubble's eyes was fully converted black. Black aura flowing out of the corners with white pupils in the black eyes.
"Hahaha!"
The new colt turned around towards Comber, standing back up on all four hooves.
"Why hello Comber. I'm one of the demon princess from my realm.
The voice was completely different from Rubble's. The voice sounded malicious to Comber. Bloodlust was present unlike with Rubble. This isn't Rubble anymore. He wasn't lying about a demon taking over him. Comber was hit with a realization. He could've prevented this if he would've killed Rubble. The body is still there, just a black horn is now present. The mane and tail of Rubble's changed to black and golden down the follicles. The bottom of his hooves had silver cuffs to them. They resembles his royalty. A forming symbol on the flanks where Rubble's cutie mark would be.
"You know..."
Damba walked towards Comber with a sadistic smile. A gust of wind blow past Comber; causing him to put a hoof up over his face as his tail and cape blew with the force. If there's in dust in the ally previously, there isn't now.
Damba stopped closer to Comber then he once was.
"If you killed Rubble you could've prevented my resurrection. What a heartless colt you are. He wanted to be set free. Now his soul is eternal in my possession. Haha!"
Comber sensed the malice coming from Damba. The bloodlust was immense. What the buck was he planning?
"Simple. You're heart is a strong one. I want to have my full power back. By consuming your heart I would finally have my full power back if not then nearly all of it."
Comber grew a smirk, getting into his fighting stance.
"I don't know you or how powerful you claim to be? But I do know you are not going to kill innocent ponies for your full power."
"Hahahahaha! Are you going to stop me is what you're declaring. Alrighty then. Stop me Comber. I'll want to see the effort you put into this fight. Before I consume your heart over your face. You pathetic flesh pile."
"Why do you want you're power back anyways?"
Damba levitated with demonic magic, falling hovering down, with his hooves stretched out.
"That's a simple answer. Although none of your business; but since you aid my quest. I guess I'll tell you. I want to bring back the utopia of Tempad. The king of mine! (Lord Baphoment.")
Comber's eyes widen. This demon isn't just one he can let go free. If he doesn't stop him here and now. He's going to have Equestria over run with demons from that demonic palace. He has to fight for his life anyways. This will boost his reasoning to staying out longer as well as defeating Damba. Baphoment is too dangerous. At least from what Comber remembered his father telling him about Baphoment and how dangeroushe is. He has to stop this demon and prevent the resurrection of Baphoment.
"That's not going to happen! Over my dead body it will!"
"Hahahaha! That can be arranged after I consume your heart. Well..."
Damba slowly put his forehooves down. His expression turning into a sharp teeth demonic one.
"I guess let's begin."
Comber grew a smirk. He's confident he can stopped this demon. He has some knowledge on them. Guess it's time to put it to good use. Damba opened his eyes wider. Comber who was on guard saw this as an attack. Demons have lots of abilities. Comber quickly ran towards Damba; zig zagging around. Damba threw a punch at Comber. The assassin was quick to avoid, grabbing onto the demonic hoof; spinning around it like a monkey bar before using his two rear hooves to kick Damba in the face. Damna flew over a dumpster; hitting it with his rear hooves. Blood dripped down the demon's legs. He looked up after standing back on all four hooves to see Comber making his way slowly towards him.
"Impressive. However..."
The wounds on Damba's rear hooves disappeared. Black magic disbursing from the area the lacerations once were.
"I'm just getting started!!"
The demon made a loud Roar. He dashed past Comber, in slowly motion it seemed he was attempting to grab Comber's face before. Comber felt his fur follicles before grazed before evading, attempting for a gut punch. Damba blocked it chuckling. Comber smirked, performing a hoof stand, spinning his hooves in the air. Dumba used his hooves to guard against the attacks.
("Fool.")
Comber attempted to quickly spin kick the joints of Damba's. Damba who can read minds knew Comber was suspicious when he said 'fool.' What a fool he is. Damba quickly blocked the attacks. He was surprised Comber quickly got into a fighting stance. Comber threw a punch at Damba. Damba wasn't prepared for a quick change; how is Comber able to react with such speed? Comber gave Damba a sturm check with a power punch to the chest. Damba attempted to attack Comber. Comber gave a smirk to Damba has he back flipped away many times to build distance. Damba stood tall after, flustered at Comber.
"Well. A martial artist are we? Doesn't matter to me. I will get my full power back and you won't stop me!"
Comber with a wicked smile on his face declared otherwise. Damba closed his eyes, opening them once again, this time running at Comber with even more speed. Comber wasn't expecting how fast Damba was. Before he knew it he was punched and thrown against the wall. The part time assassin fell on four hooves; he watched as Damba made his was slowly towards him, stopping.
"Do you like that? Well... Guess we know who wins this battle if my full power returns."
Comber shocked stern expression turned into a cocky smirk. Does he think he won already? Does he look injured from that attack? Comber stood tall on all hooves, turning to face Damba.
"Hmp. You think it'll be that easy? That's how fighters lose battles."
Comber got back into his stance; prepared for the next attack that will pursue him. Damba chuckled. Although Comber's right, that doesn't change the fact stated.
"What a wise colt. At least for a mortal."
"Your underestimation will be your downfall."
"Don't preach to me! Flesh pile!"
Dumba charged Comber again with the same amount of speed as before. Comber quickly got into his stance, putting a hoof out. The moment Damba was about to attack him Comber turned in the direction his hoof was facing, performing an evasion maneuver as well as a kick to Damba's jaw; following with a quick spin gut punch. Damba grabbed Comber's hoof, smirking with a painful expression.
"Nice... Try!"
Damba headbutted Comber, still holding onto his hoof. The headbutt caused a tiny bit of wind to blow towards and pass Comber. After Comber saw a hoof pointed at his face. Damba's eyes turned bright white.
"Die. Mortal."
Comber horn illuminated with magic. He tried to teleport but couldn't due to demonic magic grabbing his horn. This wasn't trouble to Comber. He had a feeling unicorn magic could easily be nullified because of demonic magic. Damba shot his attack; which was black pointed rocks made of demonic magic, penetrating out of the ground towards Comber chest and body. At the same time Comber's hooves turned red, the same color as his magic. With a quick close of his eyes Comber was gone. This left Damba speechless. No. He's a mortal. Unicorn magic as no effect on demonic beings such as himself. Only Alicorn magic can actually do something and even then it's just something.
("Where did he go!?")
Damba searched around for Comber using his eyes. It was to no avail, he was gone. A whooshing sound could be heard behind the demon. Damba laughed. Such a basic evasion counter. With a quick turn Damba attacked with a punch.
("What the!!!?")
Damba watched as what seems to be Comber disappear. Was that a clone? How'd he do that just being a unicorn? Damba turned around to get a nasty gut punch and a spin kick across the face. Damba slid in the dirt, catching himself and jumping back on all hooves. He's in in a closed area. Damba smirked at Comber confusing him. Why would you still be cocky after attacks like that? It came quickly to Comber as Damba turned quickly and ran out of the ally. Comber grinned at that response; chasing after Damba is starting to remind him of the cowards that quit and think they can run from the problems. Yourproblemswill only catch up to you later. Once Comber and Damba were in the open and in the process of heading to wherever Damba was going, Damba use his demonic magic to slow Comber down with objects that has no names but was intendedto harm or slow Comber down. Comber was able to jump around them but still they were dangerous enough to nearly lacerate him. They both stopped and stared at each other. The sunlight shining on Comber's face while the shade on Damba.
"Hmp! You fallowed your death all the time Comber?"
"Don't know? You run from yours?"
"Humor me. I find you have less advantage in the open, assassin."
Damba smirked, feeling more confident. His eyes searched aggressively around. Perfect he thought. His eyes stopped glowing red. A smile made it's way onto the demon's face.
"You grossly underestimate me Comber. I am no coward. You're a fool if you can't tell the actual reason for the shift in scenery."
Comber kept his default normal expression. Oh he has ideas of why but have to wait to see which is true. Comber slowly made his way towards Damba. Damba fallowed Comber's actions.
"I'll succeed in my goals! I will get my full power back and the likes of you mortal will not prevent me!"
"I won't allow you to decimate Equestria! Not you or your king!"
Damba and Comber dashed at each other, throwing a punch at each other's faces. Both attacks connected. Comber jumped after; Damba following Comber into the air. Comber threw a punch directly at Damba's nose. Damba evaded the attack, kicking Comber in the side. The part time assassin responded by grabbing Damba's rear hoof.
"Down you go!"
Comber threw Damba directly down towards the ground. Damba as he fell smirked. The demon crossed his forehooves. Comber watched as Damba vanished.
("He's... there!")
Comber formed himself into a ball; forehooves holding his rear hooves as he spun to the ground. He was glad he did otherwise that magic zapping spear would've hit him. Damba chuckled as he slowly but surely made his way towards Comber from behind him.
"No doubt about it. I believe you mortals call it martial arts? Any other mortal would've been dead; not thinking the same way you do in combat. Most ponies are passively peaceful. Hahaha!"
Comber stood on four hooves, facing the mocking demonic laughter. A grin was on the part time assassin face.
"You liked to underestimate my kind don't you? Foolish."
"Ha! Foolish!? You're the only one here that don't understand the power we demons possese. If I wanted you to be dead it would've been deemed already."
"Then how about you stopped talking and make it happen, demon."
Damba raised both his forehooves; watching as they shift into that of magic claws. Comber remember reading a book that had demonic spells; so seems like this demon isn't just going to be talk after all. A loud sharp sound echoes in Comber's ears as Damba slashed his freshly made claws together. He approached Comber with a more menacing look.
"Time to die!"
Damba rushed Comber who just got into his foghting stance. Comber watched the way Damba moved, noticing his erratic movements. He watched the muscles tense. Comber could already predict how he was going to attack. Comber quickly pulled his knife out; swiping it against the demonic claws. Comber slide back from the slash with Damba chasing after him.
"Give me your beating heart so I can drink from the ventricles!"
Comber dashed forward. Zig zagging around Damba. Damba stopped moving, raising both hooves into the air as his eyes turned a bright white. Comber stopped his plan of attack; putting both hooves up in a guarding stance. A heavy gust of magic flew past him; nearly pushing the assassin off his hooves. Comber could sense a bloodlust spike; this means one thing.
"Time to die!"
Damba with quick speed thrusted his claws forward at Comber. Comber attempting to cut Damba in half with a slash from his knife. Damba caught the attack between his claws, both of which held Comber's knife by the blade. Each colt attempting to overpower the other. Damba's eyes glowing with glee. He used his magic to sprout a temporary limb out to attack Comber with the same claw like features. Comber barely was able to dodge, receiving a slash across his chest. With quick reflexes Comber jumped and spin kicked Damba in the face; following after him. Damba created his own trench before catching himself with a hoof and jumping into the air. Comber jumped after Damba.
"You ain't getting away that-!"
Comber eyes narrowed as he felt himself getting lifted up by his cape from behind. Was it Damba? Physically no. A peak rock penetrated through his cape. Comber was quick to take his cape off; losing eye of where Damba went.
("Huh!")
Comber quickly slid down the rocky slope, flipping backwards away from the structure. Damba who was previously following Comber down the structure stopped; the force of him slamming his hooves that was once Rubble's hooves destroying the structure. As pieces of the slopy pointed rock levitated with black magic around it; all the rubble magically had sharp peaks, all facing Comber's direction. Comber who stood tall faced the demon once again, this time with a concern.
"This battle is between us! Don't bring anypony else into this-!"
Comber speech was cut short by Damba; who didn't want to hear that disgusting noble dialog; especially from an assassin.
"Oh spare me your morality... Your an assassin why do you even care about other ponies lives? For more contractors maybe? Haha!"
"No."
Comber coldly responded, bowing his head as he did before raising it again with a grim expression.
"I don't care anyways. What I do care about is my full power returning to me!"
Damba blasted all the rubble at Comber. The debris traveled with no air friction behind them.
"Celestia Warth!"
Comber quickly dashed through the debris; holding his knife as a shield as well as slicing through some of the rubble with it. A bright red magic surrounded Comber's knife.
"Give me your heart!"
Damba and Comber who both were on the course of clashing did such. Damba was surprised to see a pony at all stand on two rear hooves. That is so unpony like. Comber got in a boxing stance, as well as switching his fighting stances up. Damba at first was trying to attack Comber's joints; this was cut short when the assassin quickly dropped on four hooves, headbutting the demon at the same time. Damba was getting annoyed. This flesh pile is treating him like a punching bag. Black magic surrounded Comber, lifting him up.
"Celestial cancle."
"Hahahaha! That won't work!"
Damba swung his hoof coated in magic around it; throwing Comber like a football player. Comber was thrown through 2 houses; hitting the exterior of a pink home. The assassin fell down, as if he was on his hooves and knees. Motion was quick however. Not wanting to stay down, Comber as quickly as standing on all four hooves, dashed at the demon recent whereabouts again; dust following Comber as he he arrived back to where Damaba once was. He was gone.
("What!")
Comber frantically searched for Damba. With his body at first then his eyes. Comber casted an infrared spell. Eventually Comber found him, in a terrifying sight. Damba was standing, a hoof stretched out and in another hoof was A corpse that was once an alive mare, who fell following Comber eyes. Comber traced the body, spotting a terrifying sight of 5 bodies that all shared one thing in common, they were in definitely dead due to no circulation. He killed that many ponies that fast!? But when and how? A loud splattering sound from both the corpse hitting the ground and the demon taking bites of the once beating heart of his recent victim.
"Hahahahaha!"
Many bystanders ran from the sight of Damba. Some of which went to get the police. Blood dripped from Damba's mouth and ran down his neck; dripping and leaking down the house rooftop as he stood on top still. Comber ran towards Damba but stopped as he finished the heart. Damba wiped his mouth, before standing on his rear hooves. He put his forehooves to the side. Damba started powering up. Comber watched as the blue aura had a slight of red in it. The aura now have particles. Comber remember his father studying auras; too long ago to remember; but judging by his power up; particles can only mean a more powerful aura then an aura without particles. Damba power up caused the rooftop of the home he once stood on to shatter into many debris. All windows in a 50 meter radius shattered as their homes exterior cracked. Comber was blown back by the wind, shocked from the pressure of it. Damba slowly hovered down encased in the aura once mentioned. Once his hooves touched the ground, he stared at Comber with eyes that resembles a snake pupils. Two wings splattering out of Damaba back. Comber looked behind Damba to spot an old carcass. It was Rubble's once alive body that was slowly disintegrating to nothing but a bloody pool of blood.
"Well..."
Comber turned his attention back to Damba, who's voice sounded different, it was more malevolent and lower pitch. This voice sounded demonic like to Comber.
"Ready for round two Comber?"
Comber was a tiny bit frightened; but there's no time for emotions, especially fear, it'll slow you down and gets nothing in this situation. Comber got into his fighting, getting serious. He's not going to let this demon have his way with him and kill more innocent ponies as well as resurrect that king.
"I take it you got your so-called full power back?"
"Hahaha! Nearly! You will be the final push for it to return!"
Damba hooves transformed into magic claws once again as he dashed at Comber. His speed was fast, in fact so fast he was able to break the sound barrier. Comber jumped out of the way; nearly hitting into Damba who was already behind him. Damba attempted to stick his claw directly through the backside of Comber's chest. Comber barely evaded it, getting slashed. Comber's blood started dripping from the lacerations. Damba claws turned back to hooves. With quick teleportation he grabbed Comber by the mane and head, swinging him into another house, this time he was going to pursue him. Comber quickly got up, removing a piece of glass from his hoof. That stung but still had nearly no effect on Comber pain wise. Damba was incoming and Comber knew it. Comber got back into his stance once again. When Damba arrived and attack Comber again; it was nearly fatal attack to the neck. Comber jumped away from Damba to only have demonic magic breaking a house apart and from its foundations. The sounds of wood snapping as well as debris falling from the torn apart house was chaotic. Comber turn to the now flowing house with alarm.
"I don't care who lives in this home. Eviction time for them and your life Comber!"
Damba threw the home at Comber who stared at it with a stun face. Did he really just threw a house at him? Well that what it obviously look like. Damba ain't dumb why would he do that when he knew Comber's more than fast enough to get out of the way? Something was off.
"Help us!"
"Ahh!"
("So that what it was. You monster!")
Comber saw a filly among the family of 3. It was a mare pink coated pegasus filly, with a purple colt and light pink mare. She probably didn’t know how to fly. Comber felt his rage brew. He told him to leave the innocent alone and fillies are always innocent. Comber casted his magic around the house, attempting to stop it. It became clear Comber's magic wasn't strong enough to stop the house.
"Celestia Warth!"
Comber shouted, using a ×5 version. The house stopped with the house upside down. The family of three sighed as they stared from the out through the window.
"He-hey! Look out!"
Comber turned around to get a massive gut punch with a back hoof slap. The force was great enough to send him flying through the upside down house. Comber crashed and rolled into the dirt. Damba chuckled to himself.
("So he gets distracted when innocent ponies like these three are injuried or in danger?")
Damba's eyes stared into the pink fillies eyes; sinister thoughts brewing. Comber stopped his inertia, standing back on all his hooves, now with a brushes mark on his left side of his check and blood leaking from his mouth.
("Buck... this isn't even his best either. That bastard really is a demon for doing that to them!")
Comber wiped the blood off his mouth. He stared back to where he was just slapped from. A dusty sight was seen from the rubble of what was an upside down house. Comber ran towards Damba, not spotting him in sight.
"Hey Comber!"
Comber turned to the voice that yelled his name. It was Damba who was holding the pink filly by the back of her neck. Comber could see tears flowing down her checks with some blood on her face. Comber's eyes traced to the left and right sides of the two. He
"Damba that enough. You've done scared the poor thing. Let her go! I'm the one you want for you're power."
Damba relished in Comber's concern for the pink filly. This was any demon's fetish. Her eyes which was light blue really did match her coat Damba thought.
"Comber, Comber... You forget one thing about me."
Comber stared back with anger brewing as Damba chuckled maliciously.
"And that's..."
Damba shoved a claw through the whimpering filly. Comber was in disbelief and shock. No he didn't just do that. Comber's mouth was wide open in shock. He couldn't believe Damba just did that to that helpless filly. She was innocent.
"I'm a demon! Hahaha! Look little filly. You're as pretty as you are on the outside. Hahaha!"
The filly head snapped down, eyes lifeless and unconsciously left open. Blood leaked down her chest and dripped down to the ground where her parents layed deceased. The whimpering was finally put to a halt.
"No! You bucker!"
Damba laughed as Comber ran towards him. With a smirk now on Damba's face he toss the now deceased filly towards the ground. Comber caught her, looking into her lifeless eyes. He held her tight before gently putting her down to the ground. There was no heart beat. A wound like the one she sustained is fatal. Comber stood back on all four hooves with rage in his eyes. He was going to make this demon pay for that. He just confirmed he needs to be stopped. Screw the organization Comber defeating Damba even if it gets him in trouble.
"DAMBA!!"
Damba stared down at the enraged Comber. How gleeful and pathetic he thought. A colt of his strength and job shouldn't fret a loss that's not his own. What foolishness. Comber looked down at the deceased filly, watching as her eye lids slowly but surely close. Her heart which was kinda visible missinga chunk of itself. Comber gripped his forehooves on the ground. This was all his fault. If he would've killed Rubble this crap wouldn't have happen and now because of him this family of three.
"And more I will add."
Chimed in Damba who could read Comber's thoughts. This halted the assassin's thinking process. All that matters now is-! With a powerful jump Comber was in front of Damba ready to throw a blow at him. Damba dodge the attack; causing Comber's hoof to get stuck into the walls of the house. Damba went for a punch as Comber ripped his hoof fiercely out of the house. Damba was a tiny bit shocked by Comber's actions but even more when he was hit in the face with a piece of wall. Comber then grabbed him by the face, throwing him behind him and bucking in the stomach off the house. Damba landed on all hooves; what an impressive combination of attacks. Damba chuckled which confused Comber who landed on all four hooves after back flipping towards Damba. Without warning, Damba dashed at Comber, ramming a hoof into him, then proceeding to get a headbutt from Comber which didn't really do much damage to Damba. Damba punched Comber hard in the face, giving him a bloody nose and causing him to be airborne.
"Oh no you don't escape my combo now mortal!"
Damba gave chase to Comber, back hoofing him many times before Comber caught his himself as well as Damba's attack.
"Celestia Warth ×5!"
"What!?"
Comber landed a punch across Damba's face before unleashing a flurry of combinating attacks. Kicking Damba in the joints, then spin kicking hin in the face; right after getting into a boxing stance, weaving around Damba and blocking his attacks.
"Enough of this you pathetic mortal!"
Damba mutter words known to demons. The ground shook as many magical artifacts appeared around Comber. They looked like old giant statues that apparently can move. Comber dogged them with finesse, before getting in what seems to be giant claws. The light brown hands kept a strong grip on Comber with Damba floating up to stare at Comber face to face. Comber cancled the Celestia Warth; not trying to strain both body, magic and stamina.
"Got you. You bug."
Comber angrily stared into Damba's eyes, which was eyes of overconfidence.
"Argh! I don't... Think so!"
Comber aura bursting into a flaring red one, pushing the structured claws away. Comber would not escape this unscathed. Large lacerations was present on Comber after he broke free of the grip. Damba eyes widen watching as Comber dashed at him at full speed. Comber broke the sound barrier once again. Damba received a hard punch in the face, causing him to fly. Comber gave chase to Damba; jumping up causing the ground to Crack.
"No you, Argh!"
Comber gave the demon a powerful gut punch towards the ground where he fallowed using his magic to allow him to control flight.
"And this... Was for that innocent filly you killed without a single bit of remorse!"
Comber kneed Damba in the back before jumping up and kicking the demon in the neck. Damba was sent crashing through many homes, causing lots of rubble and dust to fall and build up. Comber took a deep breath, his red aura slowly disappearing. He not use to using that version of Celestia Warth. Screams could be heard from the rubble, then a loud crushing and gushing sound. The statues that once captured Comber disappeared into black particles. Comber knew that sound coming from where Damba was just kicked in.
("No you bucking don't!")
Comber ran towards the screams, to found a mare ripped in two and her heart gone with her ribs shredded open with her lungs in half. She was lifeless and Comber was powerless to do anything.
"Hahahaha! You're too-!"
Damba watched as Comber charged him. A smirk grew on his face as he stood up on his rear hooves yelling. Comber stopped in his tracks realizing he's too late. Damba full power had returned. The aura around him was intense. The flow of it was very fast as the outskirts of it gave the illusion of a saw blade. Comber's eyes traced to the left and right of Damba, spotting more dead ponies on the ground. He was able to quickly kill them in that many seconds? Damba laughed wickedly as he approached Comber.
"You know... I don't need you anymore... So I guess you should just die and stay out of my way."
Damba gave Comber a gritted teeth smile. Those teeth were like vampires. Homes nearby collapsed out of the power coming off of Damba's magic. If Celestia magic was this powerful, then Comber might be worried.
"I refuse to let you bring the end to Equestria Damba!"
"No red aura this time? Oh well... You're..."
Comber went for a spin kick but Damba caught it, quickly slamming him towards the ground, then kicking him into the air where a giant penetrating iceberg texture like rock fallowed him. Comber received a laceration across his side and flank. He jumped off the rock, to hear a voice behind him.
"You're too much of a bug!"
With an axe handle to Comber's back, he was sent like a meteor towards the ground, creating a small hole with his body shape. Comber slowly crawled out of creator, bleeding profusely from his mouth. blood oozing from his head as well as the rest of the lacerations on his body. When the part time assassin turned his head upwards as he stood, he saw Damba already there waiting for him, standing on both of his rear hooves with his forehooves crossed with a disappointment grim expression. Damba slowly approached the bloody Assassin, a smirk on his face as he walk with magic like debris flowing around him.
"I will bring the demon king from the west, north, south and east to this realm. How stupid are you? You're just a mere morta. You're challenging a powerful demon such as myself. Such foolishness. "
Damba launched the shattered magic debris at Comber. Comber with a serious expression jumped multiple times in martial art fashion and avoided the attacks. The next thing the assassin knew, he was punched from Damba in the stomach. The shattering like glass was a distraction Comber thought. Comber was launched 20 hooves lengths into the air before landing and sliding on his back. He was more injured then the fight with Gumbo, at least that what Comber feels.
("Damn this demon!")
Damba landed in front of Comber with a smirk on his face. This was indeed... damnation for Comber. The wind blew roughly as ponies watched their town become a fighting ally. Comber, who was back on all hooves attack Damba again. Every attack straight on lacked the power to hurt the demon. Comber flipped back to avoid a powerful punch. Damba thought to himself, he could use magic, but... That would be over kill it seems for this flesh pile. Comber ran at Damba again who put a hoof up ready to gaurd against Comber straight forward attack. For a martial artist he's sure is dum-! Comber quickly jumped to the left on a house exterior walls, running still towards Damba as he jumped off the wall. Damba who still was overconfident in his physical abilities stands tall, ready to block as he planned. Damba was shocked when Comber slammed a hoof down, but not directed at him. The ground shook before red magic quickly surrounded the debris blasted into the air from the pathway and shot it along with dust at Damba's face and eyes. Damba yelled in pain as he couldn't see. Comber took the chance to attack Damba and which so he did. Many blows landed on Damba. Comber at one point spin kicked him in the back joint, before using the same momentum to deliver a powerful punch across Damba's face, sending him into a innocent nearby ponies pink color home. Comber turned to the home, feeling more rejuvenated for some reason. He has no clue to the reason; he only knows when he nears stamina depletion he gets a second wind. Definitely uncommon to normal ponies. The assassin horn illuminated with magic, charging itself as he aimed it at the pink home.
"I won't let you kill anymore ponies during this fight or after!"
Comber blasted his horn full of magic at the pink home. The explosion was enough to cause the home to collapse and leave a tiny crater where the home was. Comber took a deep breath, facing the same direction with a serious expression. Damba surely was injuried at the very least from that attack. Comber saw as the dust blew into the sky with the demon; who wings was flapping. He didn't take noticeable damage. He flew as if he was standing on his hind hooves like an anthro figure.
"Hahahaha! Magic like that won't work well for you against me flesh pile!"
Comber stated at the hovering demon who was continually laughing at him. Comber had a flustered expression. This demon is a powerful one. No matter. Comber shot a smirk at Dmaba, getting back into his stance.
"I'm still going to win against you."
Damba eyes illuminated with a white aura before he poofed in and out of existence. Comber and Damba was face to face. Damba who had a red aura with blue particles while Comber had a red aura that was speedly flowing.
"I doubt that. Very well..."
Damba floated off his hoof as a anthro would stand on two rear hooves. The demon levitated around Comber before quickly turning to the rest of the town with a evil grin. With his hooves stretched out; a huge pillar formed in the middle of the village from the ground up. Sounds of cracking and glass shattering could be heard. Damba turned back around to Comber and to his surprise he was gone. A powerful blow was delivered across Damba face, fallowed with a hoof stand buck into the air. The sound of teleportation by magic following next. Damba put his hooves in front of himself; ready to block against this meteoric attack; before Comber could land his attack, A sound of demonic magic was present with metal rods from the ground shooting up at Comber who nearly avoided the attack with a small grazed.
("That-!")
"Bastard?"
Damba added on to Comber's sentece before attempting to perform a round hoof kick to Comber's cheek. Comber barely blocked the attack. The force of the attack sent him hurling towards the ground. The part time assassin needed to stop his inertia otherwise not only himself would be hurt. As Comber rolled acrossed the ground with high waves of pain; which Comber was far too used to. It became clear that Damba was more powerful than Comber who was know from his strength to be a huge margin above the average pony. Damba waited behind Comber as he rolled towards him. When Comber was close enough Damba activated his claws once again, attempting to stab Comber through the chest. Comber used one hoof to leverage himself off the ground before spinning like a barrel behind Damba attempting to perform a Spink kick to his face. Damba smirked as he put two hooves on the ground, using his black magic to propel him into the sky.
"Time to show off... my famous attack."
Damba claws grew as the tip of them fired rapidly down towards the unexpected assassin. The demon laughed as his claws hit the ground and exploded. Comber teleported onto a house running on the exterior wall before putting a single hoof at it's peak and propelling himself towards Damba who yawned at Comber. This attack again? Damba slashed his hooves in an X fashion at Comber who was confused at first before being pulled in towards Damba by his own aura. Before he was stabbed, Comber once again had to rely on teleportation to evade the fatal attack. It was a close call but Comver been in worse. Comber stared at the demon who was floating, his forehooves returning to his side.
"Impressive evasion. Nothing more though."
Damba spoke with surprise and pitty. Comber gritted his teeth, dashing as fast as he could at Damba. Damba was caught by surprise but was still fast enough to evade the sonic boom punch. Comber quickly turned around with great precision before dashing again, causing another sonic boom. How interesting Damba thought. This flesh pile can break the sound barrier easy it seem. Imagine how powerful he'll be if he took Comber's body. Damba dodged the punch again, a smirk on his face as he did. What Damba didn't expect was Comber to use magic to teleport to his recent attack position and perform a round hoof kick to his face. This sent the demon flying backwards upside-down and off his balance. That last attack actual hurt Damba thought. The demon casted a spell that caused the ground to Crack under the unexpected Comber with some heavy gravity attached as well. Comber nearly fell in, clinging from the cliff. He couldn't pull himself back up and somehow this spell is preventing him from using his unicorn magic. It felt like 25 times gravity of Equestria.
"Hahaha! I call this spell... 'Welcome Pit!' Want to guess where it leads?"
Comber activated his Celestia Warth, jumping into a ×5 of his technique to break the cliff as well as slide down the darkness of the giant hole.
"I'm not going there yet!"
Comber jumped from the falling rubble back up to the surface after clenching onto the cliff once again, this time pulling himself back up to the shock of Damba. This colt really was impressive. Any average pony would've found themselves crushed under the force of the gravity but this colt... He was not a normal colt. Comber rushed Damba punching him directly in the face, following with 3 kicks that sent the demon flying before crashing into the ground. Damba rose slowly. So he finally decided to use that technique again? It's obviously a straining one if he pulls it out during emergencies like that. After rising, Damba kept his eyes closed as he turned around to the serious part time assassin that stared at him with a serious expression. Comber was no longer coated with red aura.
"I was wondering when you would use that again. You canceled it too soon."
Damba announced as he dusted himself off. His eyes slowly opened to reveal once again his demonic snake eyes appearance.
"Are demons always cocky?"
Comber asked with a serious tone and expression. Damba gave Comber a smile that slowly made it's way into a smirk.
"No. Only those who know their place is."
"Well... Seems like you need to be taught then."
Damba started to speed walk towards Comber as he chuckled.
"Very well assassin. Put me in my place when I consume your heart in your face!"
"Come try it you disgusting demon!"
Comber and Damba dashed at each other; this caused sonic booms to be made. Comber landed the first blow on Damba who responded with a back hoof. Comber was quick to put his gaurd up, stumbling back a tiny bit from the blow. Damba charged Comber, attempting to tackle him into the ground. Comber evaded the attack and responded with a knee to the face. Shock overcame Comber as he realizes that was a image of Damba. Darn why didn't he sense deception?
"That's because it wasn't a fake
Damba attempted to spin kick Comber in the face where the suppose fake image of the demon disappeared. Comber was grazed in the face with the claws of the demon. Comber landed a gut punch; but wasn't expecting it to be tanked by the demon. Damba chuckled as he headbutted Comber in the face, causing him to stumble back for Damba to be in a position to kick him into the sky with his rear hooves.
("Let's see if I'm still the star...")
Damba teleported into the sky where Comber was blasting off too. Comber was about to use his magic but it was canceled by the demon.
"What the buck!?"
"Hahaha! Like being the 'star' Comber?"
Damba put both hooves towards the now encased Comber.
"Look town! A shooting star!"
Damba propelled the now encased in a star Comber towards the ground as if he was a true shooting star. A trail of actual stardust was made as the star crashed into the ground causing an explosion to that of 7 TNT. Damba landed on the outskirts of the creator. Mini stars that was black oozing from the creator. Many ponies of the village was in shocked as they viewed the entire fight up to this point.
"Are you dead?"
Comber slowly crawled his way out if the creator taking in a deep breath. When Damba saw the shape of Comber, he was beyond satisfied. He was struggling to stand on all hooves. Flesh piles really are weak but expected after his starstrucking attack.
"Hmp! Glad you didn't die Comber, cause I want that tasty beating red heart! Hahaha!"
Comber looked around himself to spot many ponies who still haven't left the town. His anger brewing; knowing if and after Damba kills him, he'll do the same to them. If he can't stop him then none of those ponies will be able to. They will all die. Comber turned his head to the bystanders to the shock of Damba.
"Ar-are you all!... Nuts! Leave-No-now!"
All the bystanders felt insulted and scared. Many of them took Comber's advice and left as few stayed due to their stubbornness. This angered Comber more. He can't make them leave; so the anger was directed towards Damba, giving him a glare that would frightened even Nome.
"Thi-this fight not-over yet Damba!"
Damba kept his smirk as wide as it can be on his face. Is Comber sure cause his head was bleeding and his body was lacerated with blood leaking all down himself. Some tissue was blown off him. Still defying the inevitable? Damba thought to himself.
"You know... I expected you to be dead from that attack. Seems like you are one tough cookie. I will enjoy the consumption you offer me."
Comber's stamina was exhausted as well as magic. He slowly approached Damba who slowly with a grin turn around to Comber with a confuse expression.
"You're... Kidding right?"
Comber brushed a rear hoof against the ground before dashing off at Damba who decided to do the same against Comber.
"Demon!"
"Mortal!"
Comber acted if he was going to throw a punch at Damba who took the bait by attacking in response. Comber's body grew with a green light slightly before he instinctively teleported behind Damba then in front of him when Damba turned his head.
("Huh?")
Comber landed a punch across Damba's face; fallowing with many punches to the chest and neck. Damba smirked as Comber attack him. Magic surrounded Comber's body as Damba swung his hoof around before throwing him through two houses.
"Tsk... resilient bastard."
Comber burst from the rubble charging Damba again. Damba was in confusion. Mortals when in the shape he was shouldn't be able to keep on attacking him. What was going on? When Comber appeared under him ready to deliver a massive gut punch Damba noticed the incoming attack. Comber disappeared.
("WTB!?")
Comber landed the blow that knocked Damba into the air. Damba gritted his teeth. It's time to stop play around. Hovering down like an anthro figure Damba bowed his head to look at Comber.
"You still have more stamina in the bank huh? Good....cause it's time for me to show you why you're just a pony and I... Am a full flesh demon!"
Damba chuckles as once again the same aura as before accumulated around his body with the flowing particles. Comber responded using his Celestia Warth ×5.
"I don't care what you are in your high mind statues. Here... You're just another merciless killer that needs to be put to a halt."
Comber remebered the filly that was murdered. The way she looked, the fear and horror she went through. It was absolutely evil and must be payed for! Comber threw a punch at Damba. The auras colliding as the punch connected to Damba's face. However it would appear it wasn't just Damba who was attacked. Comber had a punch acrossed his face as well. A gust of wind burst through the air as both colts flew in opposite directions towards the ground. Damba nearly crashing into a building as Comber caught himself sliding on his hooves with gritted teeth. He stood back on all hooves. Serious has never before. Comber stood tall as he faced Damba who was already into front of him staring him down. He was indefinitely durable, he only as little damage to him from the last attack. Anypony else hit by the punch might have lost their head.
"Well... You are definitely more powerful than last time assassin I give you that, however that magic will not guarantee your victory. Sucks... you should join me and my king."
Comber walked around Damba, spitting on the ground at the mentioned of that idea.
"I rather fight to the death than have to subject myself under a demon's rule."
"Hahaha!! Comber, Comber, you do realize all of these mortals will be subjected to our rule including you so just join."
"No."
"Pitty."
Damba hooves illuminated with the same magic claws again but this time more thick.
"You would've been a fun valued servant... Oh well... Time to die mortal!"
"Tsk! Took my words demon!"
Both colts charged each other. Comber held his knife with a firm grip while Dama wield his claws that could even cut into copper like butter. Comber stabbed his knife at Damba who evaded the attack and responded with an attempt to stab Comber in the hooves. With a quick cast of black magic Comber blocked the incoming attacks with aura around his hooves acting as a shield for his hooves. A slash of magic could be heard. It sounded similar to a blade against a blade. Comber turned his head. Damba did the same in the opposing direction. Both colts had gritted teeth as they tried to overpower the other. Damba gave Comber a wicked smirk. Comber was prepared to act knowing Damba was planing something as his bloodlust spiked. The eyes of Damba lit bright white which was Comber's cue to jump amd perform his attack. Even if it brings Damba with him it's better than-! A huge spiky rock formed from the pebbles of the path. It shot up at them both fast, precisely aimed at Comber's chest.
"How predictable Comber..."
Comber was seconds away from being stabbed with the incoming forged rock. If that would to stab him with demonic magic coated around it and at that speed there's no doubt that would leave him devastated and on the verge of death. Comber turned around with his body. Damba smirked at Comber. Does he think he's dumb? Trying to make that attack stab him instead? Damba kicked Comber towards the attack. Comber eyes studied the incoming spear-like rock. Damba was sure this would kill Comber, so he decided to levitated in the air knowing Comber can't use magic to escape this and gravity will be his literally downfall.
("Hmp! A rock will kill me? Not today. Next time you want something to damage your opponent Damba don't make the attack with such smooth sides.")
Damba who was reading Comber's mind face that was once confidence turned to curiosity and confusion. He was even more shocked when Comber grabbed on the sides and quickly rotated his body that no normal pony can do. However Comber didn't escape the attack unscathed as part of his rear left hoof was deeply lacerated. A thumping sound occurred next as Comber hit the ground. He could've used his skills to maneuver around to lesser the impact However not worth breaking the injuried hoof. Damba with a grin now visible on his face teleports in front of Comber after hovering down.
"Nice attack but I knew you read my mine. That's why I wanted you to hear me. Hehe!
Damba walked towards Comber as the assassin spoke.
"I don't know how the buck you turned your body like that... Are you a lost demon? Cause no normal pony would have been able to do that."
Comber left rear hoof pointed towards the injuried rear hoof. Damba laughed knowing Comber used magic once again to heal himself. Whatever he thought. This would be the final time before he stomps him into the dirt and consume his pumping component.
"Let's say I'm more than meets the eye."
"Hmm?"
Comber who was healed again started to walk towards Damba with confidence. Once again, the same red aura that multipld his magic. He was not going to let Damba get away with what he done. He didn't forget that innocent filly he coldly killed. The thought infuriated Comber to no end.
"And that filly..."
Comber had a flashback of the mare filly's death. He remebered how that demon killed her family and left her alive for last just to kill her. Even if she was to live she would in no doubt be traumatized beyond belief. The way she died in his hooves. She was too younger to die like that, all because he didn't kill Rubble before he was possessed by this creature. This was his fault... but now... he feels rage, more than rage... Fury. This demon has to pay!
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT FILLY'S AND HER FAMILY'S DEATH!"
Comber charged at Damba who was smirking initially. Comber closed the distance fast with a sonic boom. Damba put his gaurd up as Comber approached him. The part time assassin disappeared from sight, appearing all around Damba, which left him a tiny bit confused for Comber to get the jump on him.
"Take this!!!"
Comber slammed his hoof across Damba's face, releasing more red aura as he did. Catching his wits back, Damba caught himself by slamming a hoof on the ground and dragging it. When the demon looked up he noticed what Comber attack was and zigzag in the distance before receiving a punch across the face, fallowed by an uppercut then a kick across the body, causing the off gaurd Damba to fly through the air. Damba crashed through a house with flowers in the window. Many bystanders ran from the scene when the wind blew heavily. Damba was lying in a a bunch of debris. Wood falling on him as a plant pot did as well. A bright light was seen from the distance as Comber charged his magic with his horn, blasting it directly at Damba. The home was blown to pieces with a flying Damba who flapped his new sprouted wings. The demon slowly hovered himself to the ground. Looking at Comber with a nose bleed.
"Very good Comber. This time..."
Damba locked the blood running down his nose.
"You should be more entertaining. "
Comber approached Damba with still the rage he had on his face. This demon wasn't going to achieve his goals no matter what. Comber stood tall as he was a few hoof steps from Damba. His expression was one of a colt that doesn't play games.
"If you find a fight entertaining! Then that filly's death... what was so fun about that huh!? It wasn't a fight but a bloody massacre!"
"Hahaha! Just a tool for an upgrade."
Comber clinched his forehooves together before looking down then back up at Damba. He took a calm breath. He wasn't going to let this bucking demon get underneath his skin. No way. He's trying to provoke him on purpose because he thinks that would make the fight more fun. Comver knew exactly why.
"Upgrade? More like made you more over confident than before. That's not an upgrade!"
Damba kept his smug expression as he walked towards Comber.
"This battle is already over. You fired everything you had with that last magic attack didn't you assassin? Noticed your injuries before mine. You are mortal and will only-!"
"Get injuried. While you are demon and is defaultly immortal so you'll recover. Right?"
"Hahaha! Kinda of. Evidently I'm going to kill you and enjoy it a lot. Just like that Filly and her family. Hahaha-!"
Comber dashed towards Damba with all his speed landing a mighty punch across his face fallowing with a Spin kick to Damba's side. Damba caught himself, sliding back with a hoof on the ground. The demon stood tall once again, continuing to laugh. Comber charged at him again. Taking inncoent lives like fillies is never ever a funny matter! Comber went for a punch but the moment he attack Damba's aura sky rocket again. Damba charged Comber, punching him. Comber blocked the attack with a hoof and back hoof Damba who grabbed the hoof after and kneed it, breaking the hoof. Comber used the other hoof to block another attack from Damba. His other hoof received a brusie as an result. Damba headbutted Comber who attempted to block the attack but failed. Damba's reflexes and speed are on a new level than before. Comber was pushed back with Damba fallowing. Comber used a demonic spell to not only teleport but cause the ground to come up and encase Damba in it. Comber's horn illuminated again with the same magic he used to blow that house up. He fired it again but this time at the encased Damba who walked out of the rubble. He saw the attack approaching and with a smile he took it head on. An explosion was heard across the town. Comber took some deep breaths. Surely this time that did something. Comber had a flashback to what just happen. That smile Damba gave him before his attack landed. No... he not down just yet. Comber quickly grabbed his knife with magic and blocked a claw that was approaching from behind. Out of no where a pillar appeared from the ground. It was at least the size of 50 ponies. What the buck is this demon planning? The statue’s eyes started to glow red before shooting a magic beam at Comber. The moment the beam was shot Comber ran pass the statue.
("What the!?")
The statue turned around and started to shoot the same beam again at the unexpected assassin.
("I'll destroy that-")
Comber quickly realized this was all part of Damba's plan of attack. He was going to make him run from the beams and directly into his demonic claws. With a quick turn, Comber pulled his knife in front of him deflecting the claws from penetrating into his chest.
"Nice try!"
Comber jumped on Damba's head and spun around him pulling on his neck. The moment Damba fell to the ground the statue did the same.
"Hehe haha!"
The crackling sound of bricks and stones could be heard across the village. Without warning, they all blasted at Comber who had Damba on the ground in a choke hold.
"Watch out... Foolish assassin!"
Comber jumped up, jumping on the pieces of stones and bricks. Unfortunately his efforts was in vain as many of the statues bluntly attack him, htting him in the jaw and body.
"Now for the ground breaker!"
Damba threw an axe handle at Comber who was busy with the statue pieces. He was hit directly in the back down to the ground. A cloud of dust formed with the rubble falling down, landing everywhere besides Comber. Damba landed next to the assassin.
"A vaule effort but nothing more."
Comber strugglingly got back up, blood now visible on his face and leaking down his head. Comber activated his CW again. This times multiplying his magic by 5. He dashed at Damba who dashed back. Both colts threw punches. Damba's landing and Comber's not. Damba raised both forehoves into the air and brought them down in a swift motion. Comber could feel the omnious presence as the sky clouds opened up with a metal spiked rock coming down right at him. Comber jumped out of the way in a nick of time; only then for Damba to quickly grab him.
"You're supposed to get impaled by that!"
"No-not today!"
Comber used the back of his head to headbutt Damba who skid back, he then dashed again towards Comber. The assassin quickly stomped a hoof on the ground, causing the rubble to fly up towards Damba who threw a hoof towards Comber. The punch landed with Damba smirking.
"Hey stupid!"
"Huh!"
Damba received a roundhouse kick across his face. He was then punched in the gut multiple times fallowing with an uppercut. Comber attempted to smash a hoof down on Damba. What was that a clone? Damba thought as he rolled out of the way and kicked Comber into the air; jumping after him next. Comber smirked letting dust go before teleporting with magic next to Damba and punching him in the face. Down towards the ground damba went. The part time assassin charged his magic firing it directly at Damba from above. As the blast approached, Damba face slowly turned from a grin to a smirk. The attack connected causing an explosion. Rubble blasted in many directions. The blast was about 8 ponies in lengths. Comber landed breathing heavily. After a few seconds Comber found Damba already in front of him with a hoof punched directly into his stomach.
("How did h-he do that?")
"Hahaha! Forget I can read minds. Simple... I'm faster than you. Take this!"
Damba pulled a hoof back. Comber put his gaurd up in front of his face which had blood drooling from the mouth. Damba quickly changed his direction towards Comber stomach. Comber blocked the attack successfully. Damba pointed a hoof at Comber before pulling him with black magic and landing a punch across his face. He then spoke, casting a spell. Vines approached Comber who quickly teleported his knife back in his hoof and sliced them down. Damba was dashing towards Comber; breaking the sound barrier and punching Comber who was too focused on all the spiky vines penetrating his flesh. Comber flew through 4 establishments One was house was through a bathroom with a colt taking a shower. He was shock a colt flew through his home. The next establishment Comber flew through was one with two bed rooms. One with two fillies and grown ponies. Comber flew through both of them. The fillies slept through it. The grown ponies did not. They got up in their bed looking at each other with shock expressions. Was that a pony!? The next house was yellow with flowers on it. Nopony was home but the flowers was still leveled. The final house which is more of an establishment was a small business that was convenient to those ponies out at night from other towns so they can stay warm. Comber crashed into the ground. Damba approached him again. He held the convenient owner by the neck with the parents of the two fillies. He ripped their heads clean from their body. Stabbing one with his demonic purple claws first. He tossed them aside chewing on what would seem to be something squishy. Comber slide catching himself bleeding profusely all over his body.
"Damn..."
The assassin coughed blood onto the ground. He saw the fillies cowarding in fear in what was leftover of the corner of the establishment. Damba could smell their fear, turning around and facing them. His beaming red eyes staring into their inncoent souls. He smirked as he made his way towards them.
"Sis, I'm scared!"
The other filly stared down the demon. She will protect her sister.
"Get behind me sister! I won't let him touch you!"
The older sister confidently said with her hooves firmly on the ground. Damba smiled at her bravery. This was not enough to convince the demon to back off.
"Hahaha! I do condemn you're bravery but if you want your heart consume so badly... then I'll be sure to grant your request."
As Damaba walked closer and closer, it became clear that the bravery of the older sister started to sway. She still stood in front of her younger sister, closing her eyes and starting to tremble seeing the body of her parents. Is that... what a heart looks like?
"Ready little kittens? "
Damab was so focus on the fear of the fillies he totally forgot about Comber; who took the advantage and roundhouse kicked Damba across the face. Damba flew back, getting a glimpse of the red aura that illuminated around Comber.
"Ahhh!"
Comber turned to the screaming fillies. He wanted to make this quick and safe.
"Run! And survive! I'm sorry about your parents."
The fillies with tears in their eyes nodded their heads. They got up nearly slipping and sliding on the debris.
"Thank you mister!"
The fillies frantically escaped. Comber turned his head back to where Dmaba was kicked. Both his and the demon's eyes meet once again.
"I promise I'll make him pay for your parents deaths."
"Awe so disgusting. You saved two useless kittens."
"Grrrrr! Damba! Listen here!"
"Awe did I struck a heart string? Let me cut some more! Hahaha!"
"You're fight with me bastard! So leave all the inncoent ponies, especially fillies out of this!"
Comber red aura electrified as he spoke with rage. Damaba kept his smug smirk.
"If I focus just on you all the fun would be-!"
"Shut up!"
Comber charged Damba who's eyes widen in surprised. No mortal ever told him to shut up before. Fine... so be it. Damba raised both hooves causing pillars of stone to shoot up from the ground. Comber jumped up, expecting some type of distortion to come into effect. The pillars twisted, their peeks shooting at Comber. With good precision Comber dodged the first one, then jumped off the other ones. He then jumped at Damba who was high in the sky with a hoof stretched out.
"Wait is he?"
Comber horn illuminated again as he teleported to the ground watching a red aura ball connect with one of the pillars. Damba was disappointed Comber didn't fall for that attack again. Oh well... there's other ways to have fun. Damba looked up at the sun, then down at Comber. Like magic, Damba decended to the ground within the matter of seconds. He stared at Comber again but this time a little more serious.
"Well... aren't you a fancy mortal. I will credit you on the maneuvering skills you have. However that won't determine the outcome of this battle flesh pile."
"Tch! Like you know anything about fighting? You are used to bull dozing your opponents. Your maigic and abilities reliability will be your big mistake. Has well as underestimating your opponent. "
"And yours is underestimating my knowledge of combat. You can't even begin understand my age."
"Yeah you're a demon. No duh. So you're old. Expirence doesn't mean smart."
"That's right... and once I win. I'll consume your heart and soul!"
Damba and Comber charged at each other once again. Comber performed a back-flip over Damba and attempted a spin kick. Damba activated his demonic claws once again and went for a stab. Comber evaded the attack by jumping again with his legs kicking up in the air. Damba who was growing tried of these antics used more of his demonic power. Comber was nearly stabbed by the claws, giving the part time assassin a laceration across the face. Comber landed a blow on Damba's face. The demon smirked before uppercutting Comber in the stomach with quick reaction speed. Comber flew up in the air, quickly using his superior reflexes to turn around and block a mighty stabbing punch. Damba watched as Comber hit the ground and and caused a small dust mushroom cloud. The demon landed next to the part time assassin, practically ignoring the dust. When the dust settled, Comber was standing back on all legs with blood oozing from the lacerations across his face. His face was dirty as well. Oh well... fights normally get pretty 'dirty.'
"Impressive that you still stand even after my devastating punch. You sure are one tough mortal. But that won't save your life."
Comber slowly walked out of the small creator. He wiped the blood off his face and looking at it then back at Damba.
"Tch!"
Comber spit on the ground, then turned his eyes attention back to Damba.
"I don't need your compliments demon. You're scum."
Damba was a little taken back at that cold remark. He smirked with malevolence.
"That's fine... but since I said something nice... it's time I consume a yummy power infilling meal!"
Damba dashed at Comber with full speed. The speed was like nothing before. Comber quickly was hit in the face by Damba's punch. Comber nearly blocked the attack but didn't account for how fast Damba actually was. In the spot he was just standing there's a tiny crater there now. Did he do that with just the force of him moving at full power? Comber used two hooves to stop himself from sliding. As he looked up Damba was already trying to kick him again. With quick evasion, Comber dogged it and jumped away from Damba who smirked as a response and put both hooves together with his eyes turning white. Chains was summoned from the ground and flew at Comber.
"Well this is new."
Comber dogged one chain, then the next but couldn't keep it up for long as he was swirled by the chains. They squeezed tight around him and his horn. Damba grabbed the chains and swung them down towards the ground.
"What goes up... must come DOWN!"
Damba's tone sounded demonic. Comber was swung towards the ground, hitting it with a ton of force. The pressure from the wind shattered windows and blew leaves off the trees. If this didn't make Comber bleed then he's no mortal. Damba slowly approached the now freshly made crater. It was clear Comber was there. The part time assassin was lying down with his hooves spread out and face that seemed to be in pain. Damba jumped down towards Comber, demonic claws active.
"I condemn you're efforts Comber but just know your soul is now part of my being."
Damba pulled his right claw back with a demonic smirk on his face. He can taste the blood already.
"You know what they say... GGs. Hahaha!"
Damba swung his claw down at Comber, expecting it to stab into his chest and harvest his heart. One of Comber's eyes open with a smirk on his face. He quickly rolled to the left and grabbed onto the black hoof. He spun around kicking Damba in the face. Damba stabbed his claws at Comber which did penetrate his abdominal region. Blood poured onto Damba's claws.
"Hahaha! Now time to-!"
"Celestia Warth ×10!"
"Huh!?"
Comber grabbed the demon's hooves, throwing him up into the air. The part time assassin jumped up at Damba who was shocked by the speed Comber displayed. With a quick and powerful axe handle, Damba was shot back down to the ground. Comber fallowed the demon attempting to stomp on him. Damba used his magic to create more chains. However this time when they wrapped around Comber he was able to dash through them and break them.
"What the buck!!?"
Damba received another punch across the face, blocking the incoming kick but not the headbutt. Comber gritted his teeth with each attack. He then swiped Damba's hooves from underneath him. Damba used his magic to teleport behind Comber and attack him. Comber blocked the attack. The same statue risen behind Damba once again. Comber horn illuminated with magic as he fired a blast at it, blowing it to pieces. With the sound of a skid Comber punched Damba across his shocked face.
"You demons need to learn not to underestimate us mortals!"
"Grrr!!!"
Damba started stabbing his claws at Comber who made it his every intention to avoid them. Both colts landed a punch on each other faces. The clash caused a gust of wind to blow around the village as both colts flew through many homes. Comber red aura deactivated. He could barely move after using that technique at such a straining level. He chuckled to himself, barely standing back up. Damba slowly raised from the wreckage. He watched as the family ran away from him. Cowards he thought. He would chase them down but now after that skirmish he knows what he must do. Comber has to die not just for more power but because he's a threat to Baphoment and his rise to power. The demon slowly made his way back to Comber.
"Time to finish this."
The demon said as his demonic symbol glew red and now visible. His and Comber eyes meet once again. Only 50 hooves from each other with Damba still closing the distance.
"You know... I give you a choice. Join me and my lord Baphoment. Think about it Comber... you'll get to live and expirence unimaginable power that not even the princesses dare to challenge."
"Heh-heh. The catch demon? I know demons aren't necessarily good news."
"No we are not good news to the opposing side. The catch you ask? You give your undying alliance to Baphoment."
"I... refuse."
"Welp I did try to show you some path of mercy but you are so ignorant it seems you will have to die!"
Damba dashed at Comber with black aura around him; uppercutting Comber in the gut. Blood spurt out of his mouth as he went flying up. As Comber fell Damba spun kicking him again in the gut towards a house. Comber slid and hit against the house, causing the exterior to Crack. Decorations fell in front of Comber. It seems this pony had a balcony due to white summer like chair that fell. Comber slowly got back up and turned towards the demon again. Comber was a tiny bit limp. The red glowing demonic symbol on the demon's flank caught the part time assassin eyes. He remebered his father teaching him how to banish demons. Of course that was the key to victory all along since they are immortal. Comber knew he can't think about sealing him or sending him back to limbo because he can easily read his mind and just counter him. He thought about Nome and him at the restaurant. Ah... wasn't that a good time?
("How could this assassin think about food when he's about to die? Does he crave my claw?) Hahaha! Hope you're ready for a serving of death!"
Comber stood up, looking a little limped over. He thought back to the fillies parents. He thought about the filly death. The tears in her eyes haunted him with the terrified look on her face as she was stabbed. Comber remembered Nome's warning at the restaurant. Nome in this vision being held by a dark figure with horns. He was dead, beheaded you could say. Comber vision the destruction of his Town. The vision of more fillies killed. No! He can't be allowed to get away with his plan!!
Damba was 15 hoof steps away from the assassin who still looked down then slowly back up with a ferocious expression. His body relasing adrenaline like never before. Some of his wounds even healed. Damba stopped when he saw the wounds heal.
("How did he do that with no magic?")
"Damba!! I will not let you go through with your PLAN!"
A red aura surrounded Comber once again but this time with a darker faster hue to it.
"Face the magic that is equal to Celestia's herself!"
Damba had a curious look on his face. Did he just say he a unicorn was equal in magic power as to an alicorn princess? That has to be a joke right? Comber slowly walked towards the demon.
"Even if it kills me I will stop you at all cost!"
"Assassin to hero it seems. How... Odd. Alright Comber stopped me. You may have not noticed but look behind me."
Comber did just that, spotting a pentagon on the ground filled with the blood of two freshly killed ponies crucified to them. Their bellies ripped open with their heart smashed like a balloon. 2/3 of the pentagram filled with blood. He must of did that when Comber was getting his wits back together.
"I need one more pony... YOU. I don't need you for my power... no. I need you to give my lord Baphoment power. Hahaha!"
"Grrr! Not going to happen Demon!"
Comber ran at Damba who fallowed next. This time it will not be like before. Comber will win this battle! Both colts struck each other across the face then a punch hoof to hoof. This caused a shock wave that shattered windows and anypony who was still watching close enough would've been knocked of their hides. Damba threw another punch at Comber. Comber ducked and weaved, attempting to land a devastating uppercut to Damba stomach. Damba dodge, casting a demonic spell that rose 4 statues like before.
"You did this already!"
Comber ran at Damba acting if he was going to attack him. The assassin's horn lit with a crimson aura. His hoofs generated two magic spheres. Damba charged Comber with claws ready. Comber dodged by doing a cartwheel and a spin.
"Buck your statues!"
Comber threw the spheres at Damba who dodged but realized what Comber said. As two statues was hit with Comber's martial magic he then fired his horn at the 3rd one and threw another magic sphere at the 4 one. They all crumbled to the ground with Damba charging at Comber again.
"Behind you mortal!"
Comber turned around and jumped, blocking the claws with his hooves. The lacerations did hurt but pain is only in the mind. Comber dashed at Damba once again. This time he expected the demon to appear behind him and with a quick flick of his body he jumped backwards and kicked Damba who did indeed tried that attack once again. Damba blocked the roundhouse kick from Comber, grabbing the leg and spinning him around.
"Hahaha! If you like pegasus fillies so much... then you can go to their place of birth!!"
Damba threw Comber with enough force it caused a sonic boom in the air. Comber shook back to his wits. Was he thrown... acrossed a couple of villages? Comber looked in head of himself. With instincts he spun a couple of times until landing on a road on a cloud. When realization hit him he looked around to find out where he was. Was this... Cloudsdale? Comber couldn't believe where he was. Damba landed on the road, stopping pegasus who was in Wonderbolt training from taking off. Who the buck is that colt and what the buck is a unicorn doing up here? Why is he encased in red aura too?
"Damba!"
"Hahaha! Remember what I said? And more I shall kill."
Damba licked his lips as he spoke the last sentence. Comber dashed at Damba who in return did the same back at Comber. Damba went for a punch but Comber dashed around Damba causing sonic booms to destroy more of the pavement. Pegasus nearby was simply confused and bewildered. Some was even blown away from the sonic booms. Never in their lives have they seen such violence.
"Fall back Wonderbolts! Fall back! Get security."
Comber eyes shifted towards the yellow coated and orange mane and tail pegasus who gave the command. That was Spitfire... the new leader to the Wonderbolts. Damba charged Comber.
"Eyes up here Comber!"
Damba nearly punched Comber who used his knife to block the attack. Comber then punched Damba back, then chopped him in the neck. Damba used his hoof to cast magic around Comber and slam him towards the ground as he jumped up and tries to stab Comber. Comber rolled out of the way and used his rear hooves to kick Damba who blocked the attack. He slid near a certain family who filly was blue with a rainbow mane and tail. Damba noticed them then turned his head back towards Comber whose aura started to glow with its dark hue once again.
"How and why the buck did you throw me all the way here?"
Damba was silent at first, having the same smug smirk on his face as he stopped walking towards Comber.
"Hahahaha! Simply. To let you watch as I 'kill more' hahaha!"
Comber and Damba dashed at each other once again. Damba raising two hooves in the air, causing sharp peaks of the road to shoot up at Comber. The assassin simply ran around them with great precision. Damba and Comber threw a punch at each other faces. Both attacks landed with Comber blocking the next punch and Damba jumping, lifting the road beneath Comber and flipping it over on him. Comber back flipped away with his horn lit. With quick reflexes Comber blasted his magic at Damba who moved out of the way in mid air before landing back on the road. He dashed towards Comber again. Lifting him with his demonic magic and pulling him close for a punch which Comber was fortunate to block. Damba responded by slamming his hoof towards the ground. Comber was slammed to the ground by his face. Damba punted towards Comber's face. The assassin casted a teleportation spell; appearing behind the demon with a serious expression. The pegasus who have not yet left still watched. For some reason they couldn't help but like the fight. They rather have harmony sure but they all are curious on why these two are fighting in the first place. Ponies are passively peaceful and don't normally fight each other unless they have to. Where's security though?
"So... Awesome."
"Come on Dash sweetie, let's go. We don't want to get involved with this."
"No! I want to watch them!"
Damaba's eyes shifted towards the family of 3. The rainbow mane and tail filly rather watch this fight and possibly die? Haha! Damba can make that happen. His eyes shifted from Comber to the filly. His sinister smirk appeared as he turned around to face the filly and her two parents.
"Hahaha! Well... what a brave little kitten you have there. I will enjoy-!"
Damba received a punch across the face that sent him bouncing across the road scrapping his face as he stopped.
"Don't even bucking think about it!"
"You son of a...!"
Comber turned to the family of three with annoyance.
"Your three. Get out of here now! Stop fighting with your parents and leave!"
The filly was frightened by Comber yelling. The parents who recognized this colt. They grabbed Rainbow under her hooves and lifted her into the air. It was terrifying to see him again. Even though he was saving the.
"That's the assassin that was hired once to kill you Windy."
"I remember that well. You defended me like a true husband."
Windy kissed Bowhoof who blushed as a result.
"In the end it was you who saved yourself by mentioning you were pregnant and me explaining it."
"Um... what are you two talking about."
The two parents looked at their daughter with concern. They both made a squee sound.
"Nothing dear. How about we get tickets to the Wonderbolt show coming up since this one was ruined?
"Awe! But waiting is so boring!
"Next show will be more entertaining then this one."
Windy smiled at Rainbow who's head was down in disappointment. The filly head lifted up all of a sudden.
"That sounds awesome! Yay! Let's do it."
"Hahah! And more I shall kill."
Damba slowly raised a hoof up at the family. Comber eyes widen as he did. With quick spell casting he was in front of Damba and grabbed his hoof, slowly putting it back down towards the ground.
"I'm getting fed up with your shit towards fillies and families. Let me make this clear. I will destroy you. Not them. You piece of crap!"
Damba pulled his hoof away and jumped away. He looked at Comber who had bloodlust in his eyes. He watched as Comber took a deep breath in.
"Everypony evacuate the area! This colt is dangerous!! Please leave at your own safty!"
Damba felt sick listening to that warning. He rolled his eyes before dashing back at Comber who noticed his approach.
"You seem so... worried about these insolent fools! You should worry more about yourself mortal! Since you are who I am after! Prepare to die mortal!"
Comber got in his stance. As he thought he made sure to cover his mind up with our subjects so Damba can't read his plans. Damba jumped back with a smirk. He put a hoof up at Comber.
"Demonic shock!"
Lighting shot at Comber. He always heard the phase faster than Lighting but the speed of this attack wasn't that fast. Comber ran to his left with the Lighting bolt fallowing him. Comber did a back flip and started running again. The whole time Damba was chuckling.
"Haha! I know what would make this even more fun! Try... this!!"
Damba lifted a hoof while the other one did a circle motion. The lighting bolt broke into multiple segments. They all were targeting Comber. Comber couldn't evade them all and as a result he was hit one after another. Comber was knocked down, sizzling with steam and his mouth open taking some breaths in. Damba walked slowly towards the assassin. Demonic claws activated.
"I'll make the pain stop!"
Damba stabbed his hooves down at the assassin. Before the claws was able to make a punctured wound on the assassin, Comber eyes shot open. With quick reflexes Comber grabbed Damba's hooves and activated his Celestia Warth once again. Damba tried to pull his hooves free but wasn't fast enough and underestimated the assassin strength.
"Heh! Never let your gaurd... down!!"
Comber spun around Damba's hoof, making sure to avoided the claws as he did before. Damba looked at Comber with shock as the assassin landed a rear hoof on his face; delivering a roundhouse kick after. Damba in slow motion with a tiny bit of the crowd still watching went flying across the road, fallowed by a gust of powerful wind. Comber landed back on his hooves. He looked in the direction Damba went flying with a serious attitude. He got in a running stance, ready to fallow up his attack.
("Here I come... Demon!")
Comber then dashed towards Damba's location with speed that even impressed Spitfire. This unicorn who not even an stunt performer is faster than her. Would it be werid to have a unicorn in the Wonderbolts?What is she talking about? Sure it would! Comber threw a punch at Damba who was standing in place. A devious smile appeared on his face as Comber made his way ever so closer. Damba muttered a spell. The white lines of the road magically floated up, surrounded by the demon's magic. They launched their way towards the assassin. Comber who noticed Damba speaking stopped and checked his surroundings. What spell did this demon cast this time? Comber saw the incoming attack. He was confused on what the hell does Damba intent to do with paint. Those are from the road. What did he imbued them with?
"I don't know what you're planning Damba! But paint won't hurt-!"
The white lines expanded around Comber. The assassin teleported away with his horn lit and fired his magic at the painted floating lines. They exploded. Comber took the chance and charged Damba. He casted a well illuminated clone spell to trick Damba. Damba smirked seeing Comber approch him and attacking him. His hoof went right through him. Damba was expecting blood to gush from the wound. His mouth was open wide as normally can be with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes. Why wasn't there no blood? To his surprised Comber wasn't there.
("What the-!?")
Comber appeared behind the demon faster than lighting speed. He punched Damba across the face. The demon flew over 100 meters across Cloudsdale. He hit a pool that spun him around a couple times. Comber fallowed him. As he spun around, Comber landed an uppercut into the demon's gut. Spit came out of the demon's mouth. Damba with gritted teeth chopped Comber in the neck then kicked him away. Comber bleed from his nose as he was knocked away. He spun around catching himself with perfect precision. He turned around to block a kick from Damba. Damba looked at him with a comedian face. Comber was confused but was sure this was part of his attack. He quickly jumped away on gaurd. Luckily he did as the body of Damba exploded. So it was a fake.
("Nice try!")
"You're right! It was!!"
Damba attacked Comber with a powerful punch across the face with a kick to the neck fallowing next. Comber grabbed the ground and back flipped himself with a spin. The moment Comber got his wits back together Damba appeared behind him trying to stab him. Comber stood on his rear hooves and forced Damba's hoof into a hoof lock. Damba claws glew sharp as he tried to stab the assassin who then did the same to that hoof. He then yelled as he tossed Damba over his head. Damba used his hooves to catch himself but unfortunately for him Comber still chased him down. Comber quickly turned and bucked him as hard has he can. Damba flew through 3 clouds. With gritted teeth, Damba's aura pulsing across Cloudsdale. This mortal is making a fool of him. Flesh piles are simply that and has no right to put their tasty hooves on their superiors.
"Enough!"
Damba used his magic to teleport towards Comber; dashing at him next with great speed. Comber got on gaurd as Damba punched him. Even blocking his attacks stung but Comber wasn't no stranger to pain. Damba however proved to be too fast. Comber evaded the magic floating claws behind him that was attempting to stab him.
"I'm done playing around mortal!"
Damba was already on top of the assassin, smashing him and Comber through the ground. Both colts fell from the floating city. Damba punched Comber many times in the face before too being punched in the face then body. Both colts spun around with Damba landing a powerful blow to the assassin then pulling him back and pushing him forward with magic. He flew back up then back down towards Comber. He smashed his hooves into the ground. At first it would seem Comber was smashed into the ground. However, Damba was shown sliding back after Comber kicked him in the face and landed back on all four hooves. During the attack, Comber spun around Damba hooves when he smashed them to the ground. He made a yelling sound to fool the demon to keep them in place as he then spun around them and kicked him in the face. The red aura around Comber faded away as he stumbled backwards out of the small crater.
"*deep breathing* I can't give up now. This demon can and will not kill no more ponies or fillies. *deep breathing.*"
Damba slowly approached Comber before dashing at him. Comber tried to cast a spell but magic just spakle from his horn. He didn't have time to try with his martial magic. Damba punched Comber across the face. Comber hit the ground, sliding making a trail. He slowly got back up. This time he grabbed his knife with martial magic. He dashed at Damba, attempting to stab him with no avail. Damba quickly moved out of the way and punched Comber in the face before grabbing him right after and slamming him into the ground with a hoof remaining on top of his head.
"You fought a good battle but it's clear who won. Now offer your blood for my lord Baphoment hahaha!"
Comber yelled as he pushed the forceful hoof off his head. He then slid back a tiny bit.
"I'm not dying... today."
"*laughter* like you have any consent in the matter. No. You're too much of a threat to keep around."
Damba activated his claws again. He slashed both together as he approched Comber who weakly got into a stance. Damba used his full speed to speed bliz pass Comber, grabbing him and slashing him all over his body. He then threw him towards the pentagon.
"Bleed assassin. As so many others has. Time for this peaceful world to become our very own. Oh and don't worry. The filly that escaped with her parents will join you. Along with many many more. Hahaha!!!!"
Comber looked st the demonic mark on Damba's flank. He closed his eyes thinking of the symbol. He has one more attempt. This will probably kill him but if it saves the rest of Equestria... he is willing to make that sacrifice. He thought back to that Rainbow mane and tail filly. Nome and his conversation at the restaurant. Granfer telling him not to die otherwise he'll kill him. He remembers the filly Damba killed after her parents. The tears in her eyes. Damba laughed at the thought he was reading. Comber ignored him.
"Sweet embrace of death. How rejoiceful can you get? Haha!"
Comber thought about the Exorcism. Then back to the restaurant moments with Nome. As Damba slowly approched Comber that's when he enacted his plan.
(NOW!")
Damba stopped, obviously confused. This was proof to be his wrong doing. Magic in the shape of his symbol. It was two triangles with the shape of an acute triangle in the circle that said in red D.A.M.B.A. The symbol appeared beneath Damba who was not looking concerned. Three torches appeared around the symbol with Damba spirit being held in place by the Exorcism. He fought back with great force.
"NO! YOU WILL NOT!!! BANISH ME FLESH PILE!!!!"
The sound of his demonic voice shook the ground but Comber kept his hooves steady in place.
"Remebered what I said!? You'll pay for that FILLY'S DEATH!!"
Comber angrily reminded the demon. The demon struggled with all his might to break free. Comber could feel his grip around the demon loosen with each second. He activated the Celesita Wrath ×10 once again. He swung both forehooves into the air towards the ground. Damba face his the ground with the rest of his body. His check pressed against the cold red colored symbol ground. The ground opened up with a suction trying to pull Damba down. Damba resisted with all his might, actually being able to stand back up slowly but surely.
"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!" WHEN I BREAK FREE I WILL TEAR YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!!"
"GRRR! I think you misunderstanding the situation! You're going back to Limbo!!! Ahhh!!!"
Damba raised a hoof into the air, slowly pointing it at Comber.
"Goodbye you fucking Gnat!"
Comber red aura exploded with another red aura. Damba was slammed back down to the ground. He knew what Comber was using. That's demonic wrath is it not? Why and how the buck does he know that!?
"Are you still having *heavy breathing* having fun!? Even if it kills me! I will stop you right here and right now!!"
Damba resisted with all his might and power but it would seem this Exorcism is too powerful for him to break free. If it was just Comber maybe he could but this exorcism on too of it is too powerful. Comber's heart beat faster and faster. Blood slowly leaked out of the veins on Comber's heart. Damba slowly and slowly entered the circle.
"Face the magic that surpasses Celestia's! By your king! Baphoment! I command you to be banish and release your evil spirit from this world!"
"NO!!!!!!"
The demon scream in rage with his voice cracking. Comber used every once of power and will he had to finish the exorcism. As Damba slowly entered the ground. first by his face then by his torso, then rear legs and tail. Before he knew knew it, he was back in limbo. A constant state of boredom. Comber finished the exorcism. Comber fired the last bit of magic from his horn at the circle, making sure no pony will resurrect that foul demon. Comber canceled his Celestia Warth and demonic wrath.
"*panting* Buck... you..."
And with that, the part time assassin fell on his face. A small blood pool firming around his body after. The wind blew making Comber's mane and tail go with it. Unfortunately it would seem the story of our assassin has finally come to a close. Death by over straining the body.
Commer and Bullet finished their tasks. It been a long time since their unit manager came back. They started to worry about Comber. Why is it taking so long for him to return? He normally fast with his jobs and the way he acted before leaving proved he wasn't worried at all about doing it. So what happen...?
"Commer?"
Commer was busy testing some blood. He was seeing how enzymes desolve at a rapid rate. How they work at a microscopic level.
"What is it Bullet?"
"Any idea what Comber got himself into?"
"Huh...? What do you mean? Comber is Comber. You know how he is."
"Yeah I know... but..."
Bullet tapped on his desk with anxiety. Where could Comber be? He cares about him from one pony to another; but he is also worried he could get blamed as well as Commer for his failure if he doesn't return.
"Are you worried about him Bullet? I never thought you would care much about him you you know?"
"Although he may be a assassin and killer. He has his reasons. He wants to go against the organization if you don't remember but..."
"He's reluctant."
"Yes. I was taught you can't do good without doing bad."
"Well if you remember the wars... I guess that supports your statement. "
"Heh! Surprised you not trying to prove me wrong. Haha!"
"When the answer is right I have no reason to disapprove it."
"Wait! Are you saying I'm mostly wrong?"
"In your own right. Yes."
"Buck you Commer."
"Haha!"
"Welp all we can do is wait for Comber to return."
"Exactly. Now enjoy your nap or whatever you like to do once your work is complete."
"Tsk! Whatever! Fine!"
