Friendship Is Thicker Than Blood
Chapter 10 Legion
Previous ChapterNext ChapterImagine two Giants running 15/Mph through the halls of castle armed with swords and holstered guns .
Me and James kicked in the Gigantic door to see the three princesses and captain of the royal guard.
You called us princess? James said out of breath
"Wow that was quick" luna Commented with a shocked look on her face.
"Thank you coming.The reason why we have called you here is because we have finally found the queen of the changelings" Celestia said with a very serious look on her face
Changelings?" James asked with a confused look on his face.
"Changelings. A equine species that have insect like wings and horn with the ability to use magic and shapeshift" I said with a monotone voice.They were all staring at me with a look of confusion in how i could have known that...."while i was in ponyville i looked through current and past events including different species of the world."
He's correct and we have finally found Queen Chrysalis, She was responsible for kidnaping Cadence and tried to take over canterlot. In a case like this we would have sent an entire battalion of guards to go get her..But even then she would be to powerful.
"So you are sending Two humans that can do a Job of entire army cant? I love the Irony" i said turning towards Shining Armor
"Don't get to excited now." Shining armored trying to kill my enjoyment of insulting the royal guards "She still has hundreds of changelings at her dis...
"AND if they get in our way I will slice them in half" I interrupted shining armor and drew my sword from my back showing the demonic blade which started glowing in a purple fire...´´Odd´´
Me and and James will be ready in 5 minutes then we are ready to head off..All we need to know is it a kill or capture mission?
We want you to Capture her at any means necessary.
And just like that we turned away from the princesses and headed back to our rooms to get our stuff.
"That was dramatic..."James commented while running
"You know me I love my dose of drama for the week". I responded with my trademark asshole smile
"Just don't overdose it" James said with the last word
*INSERT GEARING UP SCENE HERE*
**After i had given James 3 mags of my M9 Because he only had 1. We made our way to the chariot that was waiting on us**
"Good luck Anthony" Luna said with a worried look on her face.
"You worried i might now come back" I said with a arrogant smile. Luna's worried face was removed with a blushing smile.
"Guess I shouldn't doubt you." Luna gave me a hug and started nuzzling my neck.
´´What the fuck...´´
Luna walked away and Left me and James wondering what just happened "What was that all about" James asked me with a confused look on his face. I was still in shock and just gave a slow shrug in confusion..."Fuck it lets just get going"
***
We landed in a desert that was known as the Badlands. We had told the pegasi guards to wait for us..This was gonna be a quick and clean capture and extraction.
Why did we have to drop off this far from the cave..
"Because if just one of the changelings assholes see us coming they will alert their queen and she will escape again. Think you lazy cock sucker!" I pushed him back a little
I love you to. James said shrugging off my insult and push.
*After several hours of walking in the desert*
02:28
I can see the green glowing cave from here..We can get three hours of sleep before we strike...And gustav gave me this.
I pulled out something from my small bag and it turned out to be raw chicken breast.
Fuck yeah! MEAT!
I threw my knife at him with Flint and tinder attached to it by a small string. You're cooking bitch. While james was preparing the chicken i thought how we were going to do this..Stealth, Blitzkrieg Or bait her to come out...
"James how much ammo do you have left on your m9?"
"I have 4 mags thanks to you...We are gonna run low after tomorrow aren't we?"
"Thats why we have swords...By the way why did you pick Diamond?"
"I dunno..I just picked it no reason..The real question is why did you make your sword look like Daedric sword from skyrim? You think this is a mother fucking game!?
Pfft don't lecture me you cunt. Its inevitable that one day you and I are gonna run out of ammo and then we will be limited to swords for the rest of our lives. And besides it looks bad ass. But sometimes it acts up really weirdly..
James suddenly stopped grilling the chicken over the fire and look at me with both his eyes wide open in shock. "You mean it starts burning or glowing?
Yeah how did you-?
"I asked celestia why my sword was glowing and she said that every time someone display a virtues emotion it will glow the stronger the emotion the more glow. The more the glow or burn the sharper the blade..."
''But...my started burning when I drew my blade and scared Shining armor...So obsidian must stand for Evil acts? Huh...That kinda does make sense...So evil acts..Terror..Lies..Cruelty..Anger..Hatred and Pride?''
"And Good virtues ...Valor..Truth..Mercy..Forbearance..Love and Hope"
"Hahahaha Love?? This isn't the care bears..Seriously you picked the wrong metal you dumbass."
''..Says the guy that almost got married...''After the harsh comment James had realized what he just had said.."Anthony i'm sorry...I went over the line there" The awkward silence from the comment left both of us staring at eachother. He was probably waiting for me to kick his ass but instead something else happened...
"Why are you apologizing? Its my fault for thinking I would ever live a happy life." James was shocked by my answer "Now the only thing to do now is rack up on as many lolz as possible and keep your ass safe. And there is nothing more fun than ripping of someones head"
"By the way i've been meaning to talk to you about that. Don't you think your going a little overboard with killing? When you stabbed that diamond dog in the throat and ripped his head off something told me that you didnt do it for the "lolz". I've never seen you this angry...It felt like you were ready to murder the whole room with me in it...
I took a deep breath. It was hard talking about this kinda stuff. "I've been...I don't know how to say this but it feels like i'm physically stronger but more angry when someone pisses me off...It almost feels like i'm going into a coma and someone else takes control of me"
The conversation was beginning to get weird so we pretty much stopped talking and ate the medium rare chicken.
After we had eaten, we slept close to the warm fire. However..I couldn't sleep i was thinking of todays events..and the incoming events in a couple of hours..And why Luna nuzzled my neck..That was just simply creepy. With my eyes taking one last glance of the beautiful moon I finally gave in for todays exhaustion and fell asleep
***
A nightmarish cloudy world..Let me present to you my usual dreams..My family haunting me..I see their faces crushed in or their necks broken which forces them to stare at me with their heads tilted and with white dead eyes. My fiance with a split up stomach a giant hole through her stomach and the hole is Midnight black which makes it impossible to see if there is anything inside. But then my family just blew away like a spec of dust in the shelves
A sudden Dark roaring voice started yelling "Free Us!!" An unknown voice yelled out.
"Who's there?" I looked around to see nothing..But the voice came again
"Free Us!!"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?" As i turned around to see a black dragon with purple fire covering his five heads...He sort of looked like a hydra or a five headed dragon.
"We will become one soon.." The dragon started melting and the black ooze started to make me sink into the ground
"WHAT DO YOU!-" I was submerged before i could finish my sentence.
***
05:00
I woke up from the nightmare..which is odd because i never have nightmares. I looked around to see my watch beeping...I quickly turned it off and look around to see the campfire has been extinguished and James still sleeping.
"Aye James, Wake up!"
"Wh-What, Yes sir" He Leapt from his back on his feet..Marine instinct' god bootcamp was a nightmare and if we didn't wake up...Lets just say it taught us that its better to stay awake the entire night then risking to be personally be woken up by the drill sergeant...I think it was in that point of time when i realised that god didn't exist.
"Calm down James..We need to head out now...Now or never"
''After we had picked up our gear and i got my knife back we were taking cover by a giant boulder just by the entrance of the cave.''
''Okay I will lead ahead. We will use blitzkrieg tactic. I will lead ahead while you stay a couple of feet behind me. I will take anybody who wants to come close range with you..''
''What weapons do changelings use?''
''None, They primarily use magic as a weapon but against us its useless so they will probably trying to overwhelm us...Or zerg rush if you will.''
''What about the queen?''
''same thing. However she will probably fly so i need you to cap her in her shoulder, It will make flying to painful so she will be forced to land. Remember this is a Capture mission so kill all potential threats and capture the queen.''
''Roger." James replied getting all the intel for the mission
We moved in the tunnel...It was quiet and you could only hear buzzing like it was in a bees nest. We kept going down the green tunnels full with green ooze and after several minutes of careful stealth we finally saw the queen and her several servants ...but there were fewer then we had expected and they were short,about 2.5 feet. I could literally stomp them to death.
''52..53..54..55...55 Changelings discluding the queen..I kinda expected there to be more..Oh well, I'm gonna do a preemptive strike...I'll snipe her from here then after that il take out anybody who comes behind you and dont worry im a better shot then your dumbass. while they are all in disarray you go in and cause the massacre...Sounds like a plan?''
''U- uh yeah...Sure" I was surprised to hear such encouragement for my psychopathic tendencies from James...Its not my birthday until december...which is in half a year from now.
I went over to the corner of the inner part of the cave ready to go in as soon as the first shot had been made..
BOOM! a defining shot was made that the entire cave started shacking from the noise..
''BLITZKRIEG!!!!!!!''
I ran in to the horde of changelings and they were still in disarray I cleaved the first wave of confused changelings completely cutting 6 heads off in a moments notice.
the changelings realised that this was a coordinated attack and struck back with their green magic bolts..but it did them no good I jumped on another group and cut them from head to waist making their bodies slide off their original shape..It was quite disturbing but enjoyable..´´thats odd even for me´´
BOOM BOOM!
The shot from James rifle went through 7 changelings! a lot of green blood started flying left and right! "ARGH!! STOP THOSE MONSTERS!!'' the queen yelled out in pain while lying on the ground with green blood flowing down her body.
I quickly recovered from the loud bang from the gun shot and kept going towards the queen killing more and more changelings in my way. The changelings started forming more organized. "THE ROFL KNIFE DEMANDS BLOOD!!!" I yelled out with a dark roar that made all the changelings freeze in fear.. I threw another slice cutting 3 in half from their stomachs and their bodies standing up. My sword started going into a inferno of purple fire...I felt like i could kill a whole army of these..Covered in green blood even my eye sight was clouded by having a little green blood seeped into my eyes..I felt like i was consumed by the fighting and just kept going just for the sake of killing...More and more the changelings either slain by my sword or by me just simply stomping and trampling them.
"What matter of Demon are you!? the queen shouted out"
The last 10 changelings were shaking in their known impending doom. ''Don't worry i won't kill you...'' I said to the shivering changelings
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
''But he will!'' The ten changelings that stopped flying and hit the ground and finally All the 55 changelings were lying in the ground now...It was a horrifying view...Blood everywhere...all the bodies lying lifeless on the ground...But i didn't feel any remorse.. I felt power! It felt like the more i killed the more i lost myself
Chrysalis started giving a evil laugh ''Muhahahahahahahaha You think that I will be slain this easily!? You are greatly mistaken monster!''
Suddenly the ground started shaking and the cave started and a loud roar could be heard...Resembling ...A dragon. ´´Fuck me..I knew this was to easy´´
ANTHONY! James yelled out of worry for his brother..
JAMES THE DRAGON FIRE DOESN'T WORK ON US BUT WATCH OUT FOR HIS CLAWS! I shouted out to James
"RWAAAAR!!!"
The golden scaled dragon was standing proud at 50 feet height....his head almost reaching the roof...The closest i can resemble anything looking like him is Nozdormu..
"YOU! I remember your kind! DEFILER!!" The dragon yelled out "You will not harm my queen"
The dragon swung his large claws at me. I quickly dodged the swipe and went for a clean cut against his left arm The dragon roared from the pain..his scales were no match against my magical blade which was fueled by my anger and cruelty.
BANG BANG BANG!
"RWAAR!!"
The dragon spun around to face James who had shot the dragon in the neck and in the process the tail hit me and slammed me against the wall knocking me unconscious...Everything went dark as i woke up in a ethereal plane that looked alot like my dream from last night...
***
''Seriously?! Am i being sucked into my own dreams now or something?" I looked around trying to find anything that was out of the ordinary...Who am i kidding everything looks the same to me..''
Ah Here you are at last. A dark voice behind me said with a malicious tone
I turned around to see the purple black dragon with 5 heads..''YOU AGAIN!'' i shouted against the shadowy figure.
''Indeed it is, We did not introduce ourselves the last time'' The dragon bowed all his five heads in respect ''We are Legion. And we have an offer''
Legion!? I've heard of that name before?"I started thinking to myself where i've heard that name before
''We are not surprised. We are...or were human thousands of years ago..''
''Now I remember..You are legion..From the bible!''
''Ah good that thou hast heard of us. Like you we were once human.. Until our demise''
''Demise? you mean you you were killed"?
''Correct, I was the last human to walk on this world before i fell to my oldest rival. I've faced this dragon in the past and easily deafeted him but he managed to escape me before i could finish him. The dragon known as Temedor, when I was at old age attacked me. He had ben waiting to take his revenge on me and patiently waited for me to reach old age so he could have his revenge. I was to weak to fight him and in the end it led to him slaying me in battle, But it was my weak heart that failed me."
''What do you want from me then?'' I asked the giant black dragon
''We want to be alive again, We have missed the taste of food, the fresh air flowing through our lungs in a cold night and the suns glowing heat against our skin. With your body we can finally do those things again. In return you will be granted my powers when your life is being threatened. I Inherit the strength of a thousand humans and I can offer you magical powers to bend any dragon to its knees.''
''If you're that powerful then why did you die from old age? Why didn't you use a Immortality spell to never age?''
''In life I didn't know about the torments of being a walking spirit, Cursed to walk this world for all eternity, I was also afraid that Immortality would be the most horrible fate i could bestow on myself. Clearly I was wrong.''
''But how do i know that i will keep control of my body and you don't trick me into losing myself forever?''
''The deal is I get to live in your body and share your mind. I keep my word. And besides you don't have a choice. Without me you can't defeat Temedor and you and your bloodsworn brother will perish!''
"Then I accept you offer Legion''
