Chapter 15: the battle begins
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe warmth emanating throughout his body felt amazing, his body still asleep and his mind barely awake Naga looped his arm around the mare beside him. Twilight shifted to a more comfortable position and in the process grabbed Naga's arm and held it like a blanket. Smiling Naga did nothing and instead snuggled up closer to his wife and lay his head in her mane before falling once again into blissful.. "Goood morning sleepy heads!" Naga shot up his sythe flying to his hoof before he saw the familiar red maned mare in the dorstep a huge smile on her face. "Twily I think I'm going to kill your sister." Naga deadpanned, "Ok but you'r cleaning up the mess." she responded siting up giving her namesake twin a deadly glare.
"Oh come off it Sparkles, now come downstairs and we can get this beautiful day started!" Naga rolled onto his hooves and walked up to the beaming mare and took her hoof in his. "Take this money and buy a house, but get out now or I cant guarantee my own or my wife's actions." And with that he handed her a bag of bits and lazed over to Twilight and left Flare in the doorway mouth agape. "Bu..." Naga cut her off by saying "You can take your colt-friend with you but get out I hate mornings and you love them now GO I want to SLEEP." and using his power shut the door and soundproofed it for the next half hour with a spell. Afterwards he climbed into bed and fell promptly back to sleep. Cerulean looked up from his coffee to see a stunned Flare walk down the stairs, "What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked looking over to her. "Well, I think my brother in law just bought us a house."
Aside from the loud thud of Cerulean's jaw hitting the floor the rest of the morning went by quite nicely. They rose a few hours later Naga taking Silver from his crib and giving him to Twilight for a feeding. Then he fixed a light breakfast for them and they left on a stroll. Later they stopped by second hand bookstore and browsed for a bit. Towards the end of the day they sat outside and talked about their recent achievements in gaming. Naga had fallen in love with video games when he discovered them and soon after he introduced them to Twilight who found them similarly interesting. As the sun set they let out a sigh of contentment as they relaxed in the bench on the balcony overlooking Ponyville. The sun was setting and they both looked at each other and smiled. A flash of light caught their attention, they looked up and barely managed to bring up a warding shield to stop a magical mortar from hitting them. The blast was rendered harmless but it still made one hell of a noise. Wailing from silver started as the rest of Ponyville was bombarded by magical explosives. Naga called his scythe to him and looked at Twilight. "Get inside, put up a shield and stay here, I'll take care of this."
She nodded and went into the house as Naga leaped from the balcony not even slowing his fall and creating a small crater on impact as he landed. Looking to his left he saw Cerulean and Atom run up, "The hell is going on?" Atom asked. "No idea, but whatever it is were ending it here and now." The three of them ran forward charging into a crowd of panicking pony's trying to get through to the other end of town. Eventually they cam across a pony in military garb, "Soldier what is going on here?" Naga asked. "Were under attack it's the Morphlings si.." He was cut short by a large explosion nearby blowing away half of his body. Naga looked at him and cast a spell sending him to the infirmary to be helped. "Fuck, had to be Morphlings." he said walking forward. "What the hell are Morphlings?" Cerulean asked. "Well," Naga replied, "there like the Changelings but instead of changing the way they look they change their bodies into any form of weapon you can imagine. Also they can regenerate from most fatal wounds making them hard as hell to kill."
"Heh no prob," A voice from behind them said, turning to face the voice Naga recognized Dark Lightning hovering above the ground a smirk on his face. "Don't underestimate them, or it will be the last thing you do." Naga warned and the pegasus took on a more serious look and nodded. The group of them walked towards the fray occasionally one of them deflecting a mortar but for the most part focusing on getting there. They arrived at the scene and saw for themselves the chaos unfold. The police force of Ponyville was being slaughtered in a futile attempt to slow down the black and white spotted demons. "Alright you three lets go kill some bitches." And with that Naga proceeded to jump off the cliff they were on and plummet to the ground. At the last moment he extended his wings and flew parallel to the ground as his scythe appeared in his hooves. He brought in in a arch flaring with black shadows into a crowd of Morphlings who were instantly cut in two. Their body's began to fragment into small black specks of nothingness.
Atom was next jumping into the fray bringing up a wall of wind sucking enemies into it as he tossed a twin helix sword into the air and spinning it making a pony blender of wind. Dark raced to the sky and returned with a gigantic lightning bolt trailing him. At top speed he crashed into the ground causing a resulting explosion that incinerated everything within 50 feet of him. Cerulian began to focus and in moments unleashed a wave of cold freezing anything in its path solid, next he jumped and made a huge ammount of ice form in front of him and built it up to become the equivalent of a small mountain and smashed it into the ground the resulting shockwave shatering the ice statues made from the morphlings. Sudenly a huge green light apeared and spiraling down from the sky came Fragment weilding swords on chains flying twords the enemy. He lunged with the blades and killed scores of them all crumbleing to ash at the touch of his blades.
This continued until everypony was exhausted and nearing collapse, seeing this Naga finished the enemy he was engaging and leaped high into the air. His aura covered him and he began to chant his aura expanding every second. His shadow-like aura began to form into a gigantic circle of arcane symbols, seeing this Fragment shouted to retreat and they all ran to ponyville to escape the coming storm. As soon as they were out of the circle Naga's eyes shot open and he screamed an arcane word into the air and a from the rune circle cam a blast of immense white light. After it cleared the entire field was reduced to a smoldering crater in the center was a black alicorn. Atom flew up to Naga and asked "You ok?" Naga looked at him wearily, "I am never doing that again."
