My Little Destroyah: Rise of the Crystal King

Ch.06

Destroyah looked the purple unicorn over with a raised eyebrow. His eyes glazed over her going from her steeled expression to her necklace. He noticed a red claw like thing tied to her neck by a piece of string. Destroyah got up from his sitting posture and circled Twilight almost like the predator he was. Finally he was seeing some backbone from her. Finally he was seeing her hatred for him.

"What do you want to talk about hm?"

Twilight looked Destroyah in the eye in no mood for his predatory games.

"I need to know about this package you have."

Destroyah let a sly smile crawl across his face razor teeth gleaming as a dark idea entered his head.

"Oh eager to see my package eh? Please dear Twilight I am with Luna only she has access."

Twilight got his not so subtle joke and a blush quickly rose to her muzzle and her concentration was torn from her for but a few moments.

"Not that package! The one you spoke of back at the palace!"

Destroyah chuckled. "Alas I have my orders from Luna no one is to know of my mission in full until it is disclosed to the public .. what remains of it."

Twilight fumed. "Need I remind you I am an element bearer and Princess Celestia's former student. I have a right to know these things."

Destroyah then got rather close to her face and hissed out a breath. "And need I remind YOU that I am the Lunar Guard Captain and mate of Luna, not to mention your Celestia is dead. Don't pull rank on me!"

Twilight shrank back at the kaiju's sudden outburst a bit of mist clouding her eyes reminded of her mentor's death. Her necklace seemed to pulsate briefly eating her fear. Destroyah assumed it was an emotion controller allowing Twilight more sway over her emotions, she needed a few after Spike and Celestia's demise at the demon's claws. Twilight stood straight and glared Destroyah in the eye.

"Fine then I'm going over your head."

Twilight disappeared in a blast of light leaving the kaiju temporarily blinded. Destroyah shook his head clearing his eyes. In Twilight's place stood Spike glaring arms folded.

"Nice going. I can tell she really wants to forgive you."

"Shut up lizard!"

Destroyah screeched at Spike and the little apparition faded from sight. The kaiju wheeled around and stalked out the door. Again he was greeted by the glares of many. Destroyah simply huffed a sigh and began to move past the glaring ponies. Destroyah felt so isolated. Normally this wouldn't effect the cold creature but the elements messed with his mind. He no longer found comfort in solitude. Before Destroyah could get very far a voice halted him.

"Rude as always monster."

Recognizing the voice the draconic pony wheeled around facing a cloaked blue pony. Her cloak was held in place by a necklace in the semblance of a black alicorn with gleaming red eyes. Set in the center was a crimson ruby.

"What do you want enemy of the country?"

The figure behind the hood simply smirked and lowered it showing off her powder blue mane and reddened eyes.

"Trixie? My my the last time you challenged me you where half dead of radiation poisoning. What witchery is this?"

The unicorn let her cloak fall off her form leaving the cursed necklace around her neck. She let out a cackle.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie has recovered nicely dont you think so monster?"

Destroyah rolled his gold eyes already hating her third person speach patterns.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is here to exterminate you and rub your stain off of the Equestrian map for good!"

Destroyah snorted in pure arrogance. But his bravado faltered a bit as the croud circled around them exploded into cheers. The stung the demon's ego and some other part of him granted by the elements. Destroyah hated his newer emotions. He released a crocodillian hiss at Trixie.

"Bring it you washed up show mare."

Trixie snorted and released a blast of pure red energy from her horn. The blast was far more powerful than anything Destroyah had seen come from any mere unicorn. The beam hit Destroyah square in the chest and sent it flying back into the dirt. The ponies cheered on Trixie who was smiling smugly filing her hooves. Destroyah raised himself from the dust and screamed his hatred at the pompous taunting him. Destroyah released a blast of his micro oxygen breath. As it came twisting toward's Trixie she simply raised a shield to block it. Almost effortlessly the deadly bio-weapon was changed in course away from the show mare. Destroyah realized he was getting nowhere with distance and decided it was time for hoof to claw action. Destroyah rushed the mare but as he came up to her he was yanked to the ground as a rope was tugging at one hind leg. Destroyah shredded it but in the time it took to do that Trixie had sent another beam hurtling at the kaiju who was knocked back again. He hissed realizing she was playing a deadly game of "keep away" with him. Destroyah got up and began wretching and gagging. Trixie raised an eyebrow before Destroyah leaned his head back and shot a tiny purple sphere into the sky. She watched it rocket into the sky waiting for the worst but when it didn't come back down she looked at the demon quizzically but that was when she got a face full of his tail. The appendage hit Trixie square across the face and she went tumbling back. Blood trickled from her split lip and she glared her hatred at the demon. Destroyah smirked understanding she was fairly easily distracted. Trixie fired another blast at Destroyah and he countered with his micro oxygen. The beams canceled and a massive energy blast erupted sending both contenders flying back. Destroyah began to flap his wings and took to the sky hoping to gain a height advantage. Trixie unfortunately was beyond that simple trick. The alicorn amulet glowed red and shadows began to collect on Trixie's back. She flapped her new wings fashioned out of nothing but shadow and greeted Destroyah in areal combat. Both shot at one another. Destroyah charged up his horn katana and Trixie did something similar with her own corrupted magics. They clashed mid air. Destroyah slashed at her wing shocked to find that his horn merely passed through while her horn cut down his side creating a nasty gash. Green blood oozed out and they both twisted in the air to face one another. Trixie grinned smugly and Destroyah roared in pure hatred.

"I will show you who the real master of the sky is!"

"The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes to invite you to show her."

Trixie smirked and curled her hoof in to her the universal sign of 'come on'. Destroyah obliged very happily. He charged her and she raised a shield. Unfortunately for her she underestimated his horn katana as he smashed through with little resistance. His horn drove into her chest cavity and she coffed up blood onto the back of his head shocked. He removed his horn and bit down onto her bare neck ripping her throat out and tossing her body to the ground where it splattered on the gravel roads. Destroyah smirked but then realization struck him. The 'Trixie' he killed had no amulet. He was had! His fears where confirmed as the mare behind him giggled and brought her horn down cleaving through one of his wings and sending the former demon down to the ground. Destroyah hit the gravel his armor taking the brunt of the fall. He was scrapped and bloodied not to mention missing something rather important. Destroyah grunted. Trixie landed and her wings dissolved as she grinned.

"Getting old monster?"

Destroyah didn't respond not bothering to waste any energy on her via vocally. Trixie smirked and conjured a clone next to her. And then another. And another! Destroyah actually skittered back as a small army of Trixies where created. Not just illusions but flesh and blood copies. They all rushed Destroyah and the demon cried out a battle charge as he rushed head long into them. Blood sprayed and limbs flew as many Trixies where dismembered. But for every five Trixies killed at least one got a heavy blow on Destroyah weakening him a bit further. The missing wing and the gash in his side where only tacking on the worries of blood loss as well. After Destroyah decimated a portion of the Trixies he caught sight of the original. He saw her continuing to make copies. Destroyah grinned as a purple glimmer in the sky caught his eyes. The oxygen Destroyer was coming back down. The mini bomb hit and a massive blast was caused. Some fleeing ponies where caught in the blast killing them instantly and a few buildings where lit on fire but just as calculated the blast was limited. But as the smoke and dust cleared a rather shocking sight beheld Destroyah. Trixie stood alive lowering her shield. She was sweating a bit but other than that looked fine. She blasted Destroyah again to the ground. As the kaiju rose he was greeted again by a small army of slightly tired but perfectly capable Trixies. Destroyah shrieked in rage and began slaughtering once again. But he was wearing down. After several hours of pure fighting a battered and beaten Destroyah stood before a panting Trixie. She wasn't scratched and his vision was flickering on the verge of passing out. Blood rolled out of his various wounds and Trixie smirked as he collapsed. She laughed as the demon lay on the dirt bleeding heavily.

"Yes! Trixie has won! She has slain the great beast that has plagued Equestria! Now for that monster that harbored him."

Destroyah's ear flicked. He couldn't have heard that right could he?

"Yesss Nightmare, Trixie is coming for you and your throne!"

Destroyah's mind was consumed with rage. It was one thing to go after him personally but to go after his mate? That was a BIG no no. Destroyah then felt something pulsate in his chest plate. He remembered exactly what he put there and he began to spasm and cackle. The demon bleeding to death in the dirt was actually laughing like a mad man. Blood flowed from his jaws but he didn't care. He knew victory was in reach and a certain gem around a certain show mare's neck would be added to his collection.
