My Little Destroyah: Rise of the Crystal King

(I have added a few lines from a Disturbed song. Cookie points to whoever gets it)

Ch. 07

Trixie glared at the spasaming demon of the floor occasionally spurting a bit of his foul green blood. She raised an eyebrow as the first of his cackles reached her ears. As the demon carried on his deranged laughter Trixie became infuriated.

"What is so funny demon!?"

Destroyah's cackles died down and he grinned despite the blood continuing to flow out of him.

"Heh your ignorance is amusing. You won a round not the war."

Destroyah shifted and a little glowing crystal fell out of his armor and he scooped it up in his jaws and swallowed it before Trixie could get a good look at it. Destroyah's maniac laughs increased once again as radiation flowed through his veins. Wounds healed and there was a sickening cracking sound. His severed wing was reforming before her eyes. Trixie skittered back flicking her tail back in forth now on edge.

"There is no more time for apologies, are you ready for your trip to the other side? Death is an old friend of mine!"

Destroyah released a much more powerful stream of oxygen destroyer from his jaws. Trixie met the blast with her stream of magic. Where the beams where evenly matched before Destroyah's was now argumented with a power surge crystal. The purple beam had spirals of energy wrapping around it forcing the red magic back. Trixie was sweating profusely now straining in a futile attempt to hold the kaiju at bay.

"What is this magic!?"

Destroyah didn't answer simply because he couldn't without cutting off his beam of oxygen destroyer. The beams where increasing in strength but Trixie's was forced back still. After a few tedious minutes she finally gave. The beam was forced back to her horn and there was a massive influx of energy. The explosion blasted her horn apart and sent her flying back. Trixie lay before Destroyah blood pouring from her head. Destroyah walked up to Trixie and tapped the Alicorn Amulet. Trixie actually smirked.

"It wont come off unless I remove it."

Destroyah rolled his eyes and leaned in wearing the expression of a parent concerning his child. He ran a claw down her cheek tenderly, again almost like a parent. He gripped both of her cheeks and tilted her head up to him meeting eyes. He wasn't hurting her but tenderly holding her head between his claws showing no signs of aggression.

"Tell me show mare, is your name Fluttershy? AppleJack? No? Perhaps Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash? Rarity or Twilight Sparkle? Or is it Luna or Nightmare Moon?"

Trixie shook her head no in each turn perplexed by the questions. Destroyah then leaned in and whispered very coldly into her ear.

"Then if you are not one of my friends you are a mere food item. I have become your nightmare. Say goodbye to everything."

Destroyah's grip around Trixie's head increased full on tugging on it. He placed on hind claw on her shoulder and began to lean back. Trixie release an anguished cry of pain as muscles where stretched to the limits. Her cries became gurgles as she choked on her own blood starting to flow out of her mouth. Destroyah put his weight into the tug and with a sickening ripping sound Trixie's head was torn off of her shoulders spinal column slithering out with the head. Blood began to pour out of the wound and Destroyah held up the head.

"I hope you know that the brain can survive up to twenty minutes after a decapitation or stoppage of the heart. Enjoy my own show, show mare."

Destroyah dropped the head and faced it towards the body. Before he could do anything however the Alicorn Amulet unclasped itself and landed in the river of blood. Destroyah picked it up and snaked his tongue over the amulet cleaning it of the blood before clipping it around his own neck. His assumption was correct the amulet was an enhanced power surge crystal argumented with a heap of magic. Destroyah bent over drool dripping out of his mouth over the body as he salivated. After his transformation by the elements pony meat didn't taste good at all to him but he refused to pass up a good meal. He sank his needle sharp teeth into the flesh and began tearing whole chunks from the corpse. He refused to leave anything short of the skeleton. Once he was done he looked up at the sun to gauge how much time had passed. He looked over at the decapitated head and chuckled.

"One minute to spare eh? Hello anyone home?"

Destroyah tapped on the head with a claw before rearing back and smashing down on it splattering the rest making sure she was rubbed into the dirt as much as possible in a form of revenge.

"Well you where a pretty good challenge I will give you that much show mare."

Destroyah extended both sets of wings feeling the cool breeze under the membranes. It wasnt a warm current to help him rise up but it felt nice none the less. Destroyah pumped a couple of times lifting into the air leaving the remains for the other ponies to take care of. Destroyah himself flew towards the palace. Soon enough he was in the gardens. He landed and decided to walk from this point. He passed the statues of the defeated foes of Celestia glancing at his own statue. It was almost calling out to him. He pitied his darker half but walked on regardless. The next statue in the line up was Feather Fiend the general from the first griffon war. Then Discord. Wait .. Discord? Destroyah looked up to see the frozen Draconequus.

"Discord get down from there."

Color returned to the 'petrified' Discord and he clambered down with a grin.

"Oh please Destroyah I come for the field trips. The foals are the best to scare."

Discord released a throaty chuckle and Destroyah smirked.

"What brings you to these parts."

"Chaos nothing more or less as usual. I see you have gotten the Alicorn Amulet from that show mare. Poor thing was so easily manipulated I guess."

Destroyah rolled his eyes. "To her death she was a stubborn one."

Discord threw his head back and laughed falling into a couch he conjured from nowhere as usual with the god of chaos.

"True enough. Still I shouldn't keep too much of your time go on and see Luna."

Destroyah shrugged and went on to enter the palace. The doors where opened for him and he made his way up to the hall of stained glass windows. He noted the most recent additions. One was an adult Destroyah fighting a massive Spike. The next was Destroyah fighting Godzilla and Super Nova. The next one was Destroyah's pony form in his obsidian armor. And the most recent of the four was Twilight with the crystal heart and Destroyah keeping King Sombra at bay. Destroyah shuddered remembering the shadow unicorn. He simply refused to stay in a solid form until the end of the battle where Cadence dealt the final blow blasting Sombra to pieces. Destroyah put a claw on the window pondering his own existence. Perhaps even this current form served a purpose. Perhaps this was just another evolution that would help him stay alive in the world rather than fall extinct. Destroyah turned away and walked to the throne room. He heard voices inside so he pressed his ear to the door listening in.

"No Twilight we cannot tell thee of Destroyah's mission yet. It is simply to protect thou."

"What do you mean protect me!? I need to know these things to help!"

"Twilight theses are forces even beyond our own understanding. A threat that is like a virus."

"And you trust the very creature that wiped out a portion of Equestria!?"

"That wasn't him Twilight! It was his other side. Its time to accept that!"

"The only thing I will accept is that he murdered my best friend and teacher! You should do well to remember that he did away with your sister too!"

"Enough Twilight!"

The voices grew more hushed and Destroyah leaned in a bit closer to listen in more.

"Not a day goes by that we don't remember that day. The scar on our flank and the impairment of our wing is at least the physical reminder. But we do miss our sister very much but we have learned to move on and forgive thou should do well to do the same Twilight Sparkle now leave us."

There was a huff of anger and a burst of magic indicating Twilight had left the room. Destroyah pushed open the heavy double doors to find Luna in the middle of the room on her haunches ears pressed flat against her skull looking intently at the ground. Destroyah walked in his claws audibly clicking against the polished stone tile floor. He circled her a few times before laying down next to her. He slid his tail up and onto her shoulders and put enough pressure there to give her the idea to lay down next to him. As she did so he draped one wing over her and wrapped the tail around her.

"Tell me of your woes Luna."

She only sighed and curled into his rather warm touch. But as she gave him a nuzzle her nose touched the sharp edges of the Alicorn Amulet. She leaned back examining it before her form shift to Nightmare Moon. The dark alicorn tapped on the amulet.

"My it has been centuries since I have seen this. You mean to say it has resurfaced? How intriguing."

"Yes the show mare Trixie was wearing it. Probably picked it up from the black market. The crystal in the center is actually a power surge."

"Really? I sensed it was strong when Discord and I argumented it with our magics. But I'm not surprised the show mare wasn't able to unlock its full power. She probably got a mere taste of it. Or at least the maximum amount her body would allow. Its also interesting to note it hasn't completely consumed your mind by now. I guess kaiju are the ones to be able to use these power surge crystals though I fear what it means for Equestria. Godzilla and yourself may not be the only active kaiju in this age. Bring it to Discord for a history report. Have you found any others?"

"Yes a pinkish one. I consumed it to demolish the show mare."

"Interesting. And you aren't power hungry like the corrupted we have already bested?"

"No more than usual."

He gave her a playful nip on the neck and she giggled at his antics. Destroyah rose and walked calmly out of the castle and into the gardens. Again Discord was on the pedestal with a group of foals led by a teacher around him.

"This is Discord, he represents chaos and disharmony."

Thats when it happened. Discord jumped down and released a loud draconic roar, lightning striking around him just barely missing the ponies and the sky growing dark and dim. Needless to say everyone ran like satan himself payed a visit. Discord fell to the ground laughing insanely. Destroyah walked around the hedge he was hiding behind barking his own laughter.

"Well done Discord well done!"

Discord lifted himself up and dusted himself off chuckling.

"What do I owe the pleasure kaiju killer?"

Destroyah smirked and displayed the alicorn amulet unclipping it from his neck and handing it to Discord. The draconequus quickly snatched it up and went to examining it.

"I never finished this. I found that crystal and placed a good portion of my magic into it. This was to keep Celestia and Luna at bay leaving me to my rule. Seems Nightmare found it and added her magic to it too. Probably to kill Celestia herself. I assume she never got to use it."

"Discord I need a history on these power surge crystals."

Discord chuckled.

"Very well."
