My Little Destroyah: Rise of the Crystal King

Ch 10

Cadence skittered back to avoid the blood dripping off the kaiju. Destroyah shook himself to remove some of the blood and licked  a large portion off. When he was ready he walked up next to Cadence facing the crackling shield. Cadence used her magic to pry the shield open and Destroyah lunged forward pulling the teal heart off its pedestal. Immediately the flows of electricity stopped and the empire became silent once more. Destroyah tapped the surface of the heart with his claws feeling the massive power held inside.

"Huh what do you know its a power surge."

The demon grinned until the heart was ripped out of his claws. Destroyah looked up in anger to see a grinning Twilight Sparkle.

"What is the meaning of this!?"

Twilight strode forward twirling the heart in her magical grasp. She chuckled and Destroyah was rather shocked when she spoke with a masculine voice.

"Well after stirring things up with dear old Nightmare I decided to enlist some help and take back my kingdom!"

Almost on cue a small army of Griffons assembled behind Twilight. Then the horn necklace around her neck floated up a black smog spewing out of it to form the demonic unicorn king Sombra.

"Her fear and hate of you gave me quite the meal now she is useless to me."

The demon king bit into the back of her neck and tossed her to Destroyah who caught her. She looked pitifully up at him.

"Im sorry. It never was supposed to be like this. I hated you for killing Spike and Princess Celestia."

Destroyah looked down at her a scowl on his face but a glimmer of understanding in his eyes knowing what it meant to thirst for revenge and spread the blood of the enemy. He placed Twilight down and refocused his attention on the king. Sombra grinned flashing his razor sharp teeth and purple energy began to gather around his horn. Before Destroyah could act black crystals began to rise around every individual in the empire encasing them in a solid black fortress. Destroyah was encased in darkness and Sombra entered his mind. The demon ponies faced each other.

"Poor poor Destroyah, why did you choose this life? You could have stayed the all powerful being you where. But no you chose this pitiful form."

Destroyah hissed at the amused king.

"Because I am not a mindless killer. I am still a predator though. Rather than mindlessly crush everything I have a better scope on what life is and a better respect. The kaiju king taught me respect at the very least, that there are always others more powerful than yourself. You should do to remember that KING Sombra."

Sombra cackled until the realm he created started to shake and thrash around.

"Wha!? You CANT be taking control! This is my nightmare realm!"

"And this is MY mind! I am your nightmare Sombra."

The demon pony dissolved into red mist as he gained access to the radioactive crystal in his stomach. The mist sunk into the void of the black area. Sombra jumped up as a red claw broke through the ground right where he was. Three demonic crablets rose from the ground shrieking in hate. Sombra skittered back as Destroyah ripped control of the fight from the demonic king. The crablets hissed at the king and swarmed him. He dissolved into black mist and receded from Destroyah's mind. The demon pony awoke in the black crystal dome he was in and rammed the wall shattering it. Sombra grimaced as Destroyah roared at him.

"So you broke control eh? Fine destroy him."

One griffon from the army charged Destroyah but was blasted back in a flash of green. Destroyah gazed at the fallen Griffon confused for the blast didn't come from him. He however noted Sombra's hateful look that went just over his shoulder. Destroyah looked and saw the Changeling Queen Chrysalis standing with a smug grin and army of buzzing and rather pissed off looking changelings behind her. She looked down at Destroyah still grinning.

"Time to fulfill my end of the bargain eh kaiju? I heard you needed an army."

"You knew Sombra was coming didn't you?"

"Oh please his plans are always soooo straightforward and bland!"

"Hey!"

Destroyah returned his attention to the outraged king pounding his armored hoof into the ground. Destroyah hissed at the king and charged. Sombra immediately reverted to his mist form dashing out of the way. Destroyah blasted the black cloud with his micro-oxygen spray but it simply parted before the normally deadly beam. Chrysalis pushed Destroyah out of the way and ran after the king as Destroyah was caught in a battle between Changelings and Griffons. It appeared as the Griffons had the upper claw but that was until Destroyah joined the fray. The red arc of death cleaved through Griffons slaughtering them and spraying blood and entrails all over the place avoiding the black crystal domes containing ponies. They would only get hurt if he released them now. Destroyah grumbled.

"Curse these ponies they drive me to drink." Then he chuckled. "Curse them they drive me to friendship."

But Destroyah grinned gleefully and laughed as he slaughtered the Griffons until he was tackled to the ground by the Griffon leader. Destroyah grinned as he recognized Feather Wing.

"You killed my sister you damn pony! Damn your kind to hell!"

The griffon punched Destroyah over and over in his left cheek splitting his lip. But the demon did not care. Before the fist came down again Destroyah bit down on it ripping the fingers clean off and ripping up the hand. Feather Wing shrieked in pain and as he wheeled back wrapped his tail around Destoryah's neck tossing him. The Demon got up laughing rather hard.

"Why wont you die!?"

Destroyah didn't answer, he simply walked up his claws clicking on the street that twisted grin never leaving his face. Feather Wing clutched his ruined right hand and grimaced. He pulled out his sword and put it on the top of his stump. As Destroyah calmly walked up to him taking his sweet time Feather Wing pulled out a roll of bandaged and tied it to his stump cutting off the bleeding and tying the sword to his wrist. The griffon swung and Destroyah snapped his head back the blade just barely missing his muzzle by inches. The demon's smile disappeared and he hissed in annoyance. But then his grin returned as he remembered some interrogation lessons from Nightmare. She did teach him a few Nightmare inducing spells but he didn't have anything containing magic to actually use them. He glanced down at the Alicorn amulet around his neck feeling all of the energies placed in it by Nightmare and Discord on top of the radiation. Destroyah channeled the energies into his horn and blazing red micro oxygen energy gathered. He fired the blast from his horn hitting Feather Wing right in the face. Rather than melting his face it knocked him into a nightmare induced coma.

Feather Wing looked around confused. He was in some form of destroyed city. Twisted metal and rubble littered the place. Crackling fires where the only things lighting up the area aside from the moon glowing harshly down on him. The griffon skittered nervously as a cackling laugh arose around him. It bounced off the broken city and echoed in the metals. The griffon turned clearly frightened. He felt like he was being watched from every angle. Then the horrible scraping sound was heard. It was like something sharp dragging across metal. The griffon pinpointed the source of the noise. Right behind him was Destroyah scraping one of his claws slowly down a metal beam. Feather Wing screamed and in doing so he blinked. When his eyes opened after that nanosecond of being closed Destroyah was gone and so was the sound. Feather Wing was beyond terrified and ran. As he ran through the maze of twisted metal and burning rubble that laugh was always heard. That insane cackling right in his ear. Feather Wing soon found a place that was not completely demolished and ran inside slamming the large metal door behind him and slamming the large bolt lock home. Feather Wing sighed in relief until he turned around. It was his sister in a body bag slathered in blood. She grinned and laughed blood drooling out of her mouth. But her laugh wasn't hers it was Destroyah's deep rumbling laugh. The body then slumped to the floor and disintegrated.

"Oh Celestia.."

"No .. just me."

Feather Wing whipped around to see the malevolent smile of Destroyah half an inch from his face. Feather Wing stumbled back screaming and Destroyah walked forward lazily that grin plastered on his face.

"Why are you screaming? I haven't even done anything yet! Don't tell me you lost all your steam yet!"

The griffon commander was huddled in the corner shivering in fear. Destroyah walked up and lifted the griffon by the neck slowly suffocating him. Destroyah's grin widened as the griffon squirmed. His breathing became more rapid and shallow as precoius oxygen ran out. Destroyah grinned as he felt the griffon's heart rate increased rapidly desperatly beating. Then it all stopped and Feather Wing slumped to the floor dead.

Back in reality Destroyah walked off leaving the corpse behind him grinning viciously. As he turned around he ran into something large. Destroyah looked up to see a grinning Discord cleaning his talons,

"Need some help?"

Destroyah grinned. "Absolutely! The hunt is more fun when it is a total one sided slaughter!"

Destroyah and Discord ran to meet up with Chrysalis heavily panting fighting off Sombra. The king realized he was a bit outmatched and backed up. But before anyone could do anything one of the black crystal domes exploded and there stood a severely pissed off Twilight Sparkle.
