You know something? Seeing a nest of changelings burn in front of you with dozens of the little fuckers running about in fear is oddly satisfying. Me, Clawback, Pyro, Candy, Mothy and Moony walked side by side picking off the bugs as they tried to stop us. Some of the smarter ones had used, well whatever that green stuff they produce is called, to build barricades or protective layers around themselves. Some even wore thick armour that spells and stabbing weapons couldn't penetrate. That's why we have Clawback, the guys talons can penetrate almost any armour, they guy is a freakin tank, cracked the armoured ones like fuckin walnuts.

Mothball and Cadence dealt with any that got too close either by stabbing them in the face or blasting them point blank. Pyro was focusing on burning the nest and making sure we had a clear path to leave through when we killed everything in the damn place. Draken and Diptera were hiding away in the deepest parts of the nest like a couple of cowards, probably making friendship bracelets or something. They have Molly with them, probably gonna use her as a shield or as a bargaining chip, try to have me on my knees begging them to let her go. Not happening, the only ones that will be begging are those two, begging for mercy. Yeah, I'm fresh outta that at the moment.

I kill Draken, the Skull Bandits fall apart, I kill Diptera, I feel better and it brings me closer to getting Chrysalis to come out and fight me herself to put an end to alll this bullshit. I'm spending time on this that I could be using to take a job or relax, I wouldn't even bother if they didn't have the girl I'm pretty much in love with tied up and held hostage. Some people just have to make things personal don't they?

Some of the bandits had set up cannons furtherbdown the main hallway which did prove problematic. They may have just shot cannon balls, but those things are destructive on their own. We ended up hiding behind various thick walls to protect ourselves, firing the occasional spell or explosive bullet when we could. We couldn't really advance any further with those things in the way, they were too heavy to lift with even Cadences magic and if we got hit by even one of them it was game over, we can take a beating but we ain't invincible.

Month had managed to sneak around and disguised himself as one of the bandits, blending in for a few moments before planting explosives on the cannons and backing up behind cover. The resulting blast either knocked the bandits unconscious or filled their bodies with sharp pieces of metal. Either way, the path was clear.

"These guys really need to either get a better trainer or fire their strategist, because these guys seem to be too weak to be their leaders personal guard." Clawback said as he threw a wounded bandit to the side.

"Yeah, I was wondering about that, if Chrysalis is so dead set on killing us why not send all of her best fighters at once, on,y so much we can deal with at one time." Pyro added as he used his magic to set another section on fire.

I just shrugged and threw a knife into a fleeing bandits back leg. "I don't know, but if she's keeping all of her best to herself it just makes what we're doing right now easier."

And just as I finished my sentence, one of the walls of the nest was blown to pieces, we had to shield our eyes to avoid being blinded by the dust. Once the dust had settled we took fighting stances as two large figures stood in front of us. Large, and I mean REALLY large changelings glared down at us, everything except their red eyes covered in spiked grey armour, each of them almost three times my size. "Well...guess we know where the elite guard is..."

One of them raises a hoof and attempts to crush me beneath it, only for me to roll to the side. Unfortunately I was a moron and rolled to the other guard who tried to crush me with his two front hooves. I was dragged backwards by a light blue aura as the ground was struck by the guard. "Gray, you go on ahead, we'll deal with these two." Candy says as she grabs me in her aura again to throw me over the two beasts.

"Why? You stand a better chance of eating these two if I stay and help."

"They're just stalling for time! You need to get to your friend! We can handle this!" She yells as she throws me into the air.

I land behind the two guards that had their attention locked on my friends in front of them. I just shook my head and ran on ahead, no point in arguing with Candy at a time like this. As I run I notice that there were no bandits or changelings about. Either we got them all on our way in, they all retreated or they're being smart and hiding from me.

It didn't take long for me to reach my destination, a large door made of smooth, black marble stone stood at the end of the hallway and I could tell it was the entrance to the main chamber, because everyone knows the fanciest door leads to the main chamber.

Well, that and there is literally a neon sign that says "main chamber" above it with a little painted arrow beneath it.

I push one of the doors open and find myself in a large dome shaped chamber with a large circular platform in the middle, stadium like rows of seats surrounding it with a small podium near the far end of the platform next to a throne of some kind. And there, on the throne, sitting bound and gagged, is Molly.

I would have rushed over to her, but I knew that she wouldn't just be left out in the open like this, something was up. She caught sight of me and tried to call out something to me, but her gag prevented her from speaking at all. Our eyes meet and she stops as I put a finger to my lip to silence her and shaking me head. She understands and sits back, no longer trying to call out to me. "Alright you cunts, where the hell are you?" I ask out loud walking over and stepping into the wide platform.

I hear the sound of a typical evil laugh before the two leaders appear before me, both clad in armour as changelings and bandits fill the seats around the platform.

"So nice of you to join us Gray, I was getting rather bored waiting for you." Diptera purrs as she licks her lips with her snake like tongue.

"You've caused us a lot of trouble, and wasted a lot of our time. So, why don't we akip any monologues, speeches or whatever and get to the part where we try to kill each other?" Draken asks with a psychotic grin.

I just glare and allow a blood hungry grin to form on my face as I unsheath my sword and spin my knives around me. "I couldn't agree more..."

This one took awhile, damn. Sorry, I've had a major case of writers block lately.
