The Creature made the first move. Within his mouth a single spark flared to life, it grew as he gave chase. Soon, smoke, vapor, and ash trailed in his wake as he followed behind Discord, the God of Chaos fleeing still, fear gripped his features as The Creature crushed the now Celestia sized orb in his mouth, the miniture sun being snuffed out before he roared, the concentrated sun's energy blasting towards Discord, smoting him in the side.
Basilisk's attack
[0:10 - 0:20]
Discord roared in pain as he plummeted to the ground. Screaming in agony as he smashed into the ground. His dragon paw clutching at the now exposed muscle. With a snap of his finger the skin began to patch itself back together into a rather unsightly wound. Ponies by now had begun to panic and flee from the sight of Discord. He cared not, fear turned to rage at the prospect of being bested. With a gutteral bellow Discored moved to attack The Creature. The winged serpent, only smirked as his tail smashed into Discord's head.
[2:50 - 3:00]
Once again Discord found himself smote upon the ground, looking up at this...this freak of nature, blood dripping from his cheek. Taking notice of this Discord quickly whiped his chin, snapping his finger, appearing next to The Creature, and bit down into his wing. Discord was rewarded with a bellow, but then The Creature began to wrap himself around the Harbinger of Chaos's body. With a smirk, Discord snapped his fingers once again, teleporting out of range again, but what he didn't count on was The Creature anticipating this, and when Discord reappeared next to The Creature, what he recieved was a set of jagged fangs, as The Creature's maw sunk into his shoulder, his teeth tearing through bone and flesh like a chain sword through flak armor. [10 hugs to anyone who know what either of those things are]
[3:22 - 3:36]
Discord, for lack of a better word, was being bested, he refused to accept this and began devising a plan, only for the Creature's fangs to pierce through complete. Discord wailed, and began to claw at The Creature's face, his Dragon's claws leaving gashes across the feathered face as well as partially tearing out one of The Creature's eyes. The Creature became lax on his grip on Discord's shoulder, giving him the chance to teleport out of the fang's reach and to safty. The Creature began to persue his prey with a blood lust, his eye slightly hanging from its socket as he scoured the city. As The Creature looked, Discord hid in an alley way, like the coward he was, breathing heavily. His Lion paw hanging limp, his wound not healing as it should have, something in The Creature's venom must be keeping it from healing.
[End of Song]
The Mare 6 and the Sister's point of View
From outside they could hear Discord's first scream as the Solar Flame rought upon his body, pain unimaginable to the others. Dash was the only one who had ever out of the group taken significant damage, and that was a sprained wing. What they heard out there, was something akin to being stabbed or being lit aflame. Fluttershy had taken the liberty of cowering in the corner and balling her eyes out. Applejack was currently trying to confert her, but was having little luck.
Dash and Twiligth were by themselves, discussing what they had witnessed as Rarity and the Pinkie had taken to sitting with the Princesses. The C.M.C. had vanished to go and watch the fight outside, much to the unknown of the others. Cadance had even made an appearence, somewhat feeling much better. She stood in the door way as Discord's enchantments had begun to eb away and return the remained of the ponies to their original forms.
"I know...but Dash...you saw the bones back in the Library...there is no way that that could be who we think it is." Twilight was unsure if she wanted to belive it herself, but there was only one exact answer to what the two of them had just witnessed.
In a hushed tone "Come on Twi, you and I both know what it was we say back in that Library, I may not be an egg head, no offence, but I can put 2 and 2 together quite easily." Dash said, shaking her head and crossing her arms while hovering above ground. It was then that another beastial roar echoed around the room, drawing everyone's attention to what was going on outside. Blasting through a building, was a mangled Discord, bloodied and broken.
The Creature's Point of View a few mins ago
The Creature had been blind sided by a sneak attack, a long gash trailing up the side of his head as he turned, his fangs finding Discord's arm once again. Discord shriked as The Creature wrapped his tail around Discord's leg, and with a mighty pull, severed his still useful arm completely. To add insult to injury, Discord could only helplessly watch as The Creature threw the arm up into the air, before snapping his jaws around it. Discord's eyes followed the direction of the arm, till it vanished into the jaws of The Creature. With a wordless scream, Discord launched himself at The Creature, with the intent to finish this off, only to have a pair of jaws clamp down on his thoat.
Discord knew the end was upon him, and so he did the only thing he could do, he bit down on The Creature's muzzle, only for his teeth to shatter. The impact from the Creature's tail had done more then bat him into the ground, it had also cracked every one of his teeth at the same time.The Creature then began to shake his head, throwing Discord's limp body this way and that until he finally released his grip and sent him flying through an apartment building of a certain grey, raven haired mare.
Present in the Throne Room
Wolfs Rain: Soundtrack 1-07 Shiro
[Beginning of Song]
Discord smashed through another wall. He was bloodied, broken, and with Internal Bleeding he wasn't going to last much longer. Upon seeing Celestia he immidatly began to beg. Only when his pleas remained unanswered did Discord turn to see The Creature looming over him, jaws wide open and saliva dripping. Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, Apple Jack, and Rainbow, being the most hard headed, could only back away, something told them not to interfeir with what they were witnessing. Even when Discord began to beg the other girls to save him on pain of death, which only caused Fluttershy to cry harder.
"Look at yourself Discord, your pathetic. You cry and beg for help at the end, instead of standing to meet it, yet here you are, on you'r knees groveling before the very creatures you were about to kill." The creature quickly spits on the ground next to Discord. "You were great once, before madness addled your will. Before you rended judgment on Dreconia. Before you murdered the Innocent and Guilty all in one stroke. How does it feel to have betrayed your own family! You are a blemish on this world. On all worlds! I shall cast judgment now upon you now!" Discord had been trying to back up as The Creature slowly advanced on him.
This sudden revelation was new to Celestia as well as to all the others present to this clash. Discord himself went wide eyed at the accusations, before a grin creased his mouth for a few seconds as one could only guess he was reliving these memories for one last time.
" The wages of Genocide is.....Death! " and with that, The Creature opened his maw wide, and a spark once again lit within his jaw. This time however, it coated his fangs as he blocked the view with his wings. To the ponies all they could hear was the very worst scream imaginable, the parts of Discord that could be seen were violently twitching and spazeming as half his body slumped on the floor, the other part was no where to be see as The Creature turned to reguard the ponies.
[End of Song]
Immidatly the Princesses got into a fighting position as well as the Mare 6. Fluttershy had finally worked up the nerve to face this creature down...till she saw the eye handing out of its socket. She imidatly ran to the nearest plotted plant and vomited up everything that her stomach had been holding. The C.M.C. followed like wise as well as Rarity. The Creature only chuckled till it realised what they were vomiting about upon feeling the eye ball slap against his scales.
" O well this is embarissing. The creature stated as he quickly hid his head under his wing.
"Leave now monster before we destroy you!" Luna bellowed at The Creature.
" Luna...I'm hurt, to think you would talk to me like that. Luna blinked a few times before resuming her charging stance.
"Who ever you are, leave now before I banish you to the sun!"
"Tia...Tia...Tia....you wound me. Do both of you truly not remember me?" The Creature asked.
"Wh...Why would we know a brute and a murder!" Both of the royal sisters exlaimed at the same time.
"O right, I have yet to introduce myself." The Creature folded his wing over his chest, and bowed. "Dagon, Von Basilisk at your services once again my friends." He says with a cocky grin at the reactions of everyone in the room. Tears began to flow like rivers from The Sisters as they hurled themselves at Dagon, Celestia creating a Solar Boom and Luna creating a Lunar Boom as they both collided with Dagon, forcing him out of the throne room and into the hall, in a Princess sized bear hug.
Twilight's point of view
All Twilight had seen was this massive, 30 ft, feathered serpent, with wings, bow to the princesses and reveal himself to be the creature that the Princesses had original sent them to find. Then 2 streaks smashing into him and watching him go flying out of the room and into the hall way. While Pinkie seemed to have vanished. Something about a "Welcome to Equestira. Welcome back from the Dead. Thanks for saving Us, and a Get well soon Party" all at the same time. Twilight could only sit down with her jaw agape for the third time that day and watch as both Princesses cried into the chest of some snake. Inside of her head she was screaming about how none of this made any sence.
Pinkie Pie's Point of View
Pinkie Pie just watched the two Princesses streak across the room, smashing into Dagon and through a wall as she herself sped off towards the kitchen. It took her quite a while to find it but when she did she got to work without any delay. Crafting Cake after cake as well as several hundred cup cakes, much to the head cheif's dismay. It was then that Pinkie came acorss something, behind one of the stoves, was a rune, a marking of sorts.
The image depicted of what looked like 2 blades, connected at the middle, one red, one blue, and what looked like words that had faded underneath it. Pinkie, being Pinkie, managed to phase through the wall and come across a set of stairs, leading to what looked like a long and dark hall way, which she began to descend.
