Asphyxious Hellbringer The Dragon Of Instinct.
Chapter 7: Nightmare Breach, This War Is Stupid.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter***Asphyxious Pov. Den.***
I was pissed about what happened to Len, I wanted nothing more than to burn them all. But I’m sure the ones I blighted will deal with the rest. The warjacks needed repairing, Gear Shift had that covered. I just hope Len will be safe with her Hoard, herd? I didn’t know what to call them, all I wanted was for her to be safe. I couldn’t work like this, so I leave the den.
Once outside it was night time I look up at the night sky at the moon. Why did the night give me so much peace… I open a armored plate and looked at the rune plats I had installed. One for Corruption, One for Grievous Wounds and Balefire. All of it powered by a storm chamber, That was put inside of my body.
The Corruption,Grievous Wounds and Balefire were part of my sword in my Lich form. The Grievous Wounds rune plates and Corruption were installed into my arms as well. So when I attack with my claws. It leaves a deep wound on my enemy’s as well as Corrupt their armour and flesh. I then closed up the armor and think. For the first time I let Kraken use a living beings as fuel for it furnace. In my rage I let loose all of my pain and anger…
You feel guilty for their deaths…
I laughed at Sombra, his most likely killed more than any I know of… I shouldn’t feel guilty but I do, Even if they made me an enemy they should not have to die like that. I’m already a cursed soul… Will I be forgiven? Forgotten? Do I even still have a soul...
If you didn’t we would not be talking right now and I would have taken over your body.
You know just what to say don’t you little shadow? I think as I sit under a tree, looking up at the night sky seeing all those star’s. I wonder if Luna will see me here? I then noticed Cankerworm making it way over to me and put it head under my hand.
“What are you doing out here?” I asked petting it head. For some reason it put me at ease somewhat, then a token drops in front of me. I looked at it then go over to pick it up, let see who this belongs to. I think as I held the token in my fingers then heard a voice.
“Information about a Displaced event. Please summon creator of token to learn more.”
I held the token up to the moon light, maybe this is what I need… “I am Asphyxious Hellbringer, King and Lich Lord of the Diamond Dogs. I know not who or what you are but I call on you. Tell me what is this, event.” I said calmly waiting for a portal to open out of nearby shadows.
A pale woman wearing a trench coat of the same color came out. She had carnivorous teeth that looked sharper than a shark, one eye which was grey, while the other was just a socket with a red dot in it. Her hair was black, and she had a pair of wings, one was black while the other was white.
I placed my sword into the ground as Cankerworm hissed at this woman. I pet it’s neck to calm it, I should be careful with this one. “My name is Asphyxious what is yours?” I asked as the moonlight makes her coat glow.
“Well aren’t you a gentleman…” She said sarcastically. “My name is Time Spinner, or Era Spiral. Whatever, doesn’t matter.”
This was strange for me, I’ve never meet a displaced like her before… The token was strange to, just what was she? I think as I look over the night sky. “Tell me what is this event about? Will others take part in it as well? I think it a little short sighted to not give that out in your token.” I asked as I kept an eye on her.
“It’s a Displaced event. Want some names?” A list appeared in her hand. “Lee Connors, Darth Folteren, EOI, Alduin, Arthur, Zinnia, Lance Walker, etc, etc…” I held out my metal clawed hand to have a read of this list myself. Once I had over it I saw many I didn’t know but two names got my attention.
“Why is Gimme joining in this event? You still haven’t told me what it about?” I asked looking at her, I don’t know why but her smile made me uneasy.
“It’s a ‘war’ between Lee and Folteren. No death by the way. There’s nothing to fear in this. It’s more like a game anyway.”
“There always death in war, I’ve seen enough blood to prove that.” I answered. But something was bothering me about this war. “What reason did they start this war?”
“Lee nearly killed Folteren’s daughter. Folteren, being an ill tempered Sith, cut Lee’s marefriends horn off. I fixed it, but they’re pissed off about it so much I started this thing. And when I mean no death, I mean if you or any Displaced gets a fatal blow on the battlefield, you arrive home without a scratch.”
“So… Before they're killed they get sent back before they die. They sound like children fighting over who broke the others friends gift first… Is there a third party to this war?” I asked wondering if I could see and gan somethings from the over displaced in this conflict.
“Yeah, my side. We take care of the interlopers. Those who want to break my power over the battlefield and get the Displaced killed.” I pet Cankerworm as I think about this. This could give me some space to test out somethings I’d never try here…
“What would happen if say… One side or the other get out of hand and you needed, something to distract them?” I asked looking at her as she turned to look at me.
“I’d call one of the Neutrals to piss them off. You join, you could be one of, what I call, pissoffers.” She laughed. I don’t know why but I laughed to.
“Alright then when and if this war start I’ll be joining the Neutrals, You don’t mind if I make some undead for this pointless war?” I asked holding out my hand to her.
She looked at my hand, unimpressed. “I don’t care if you brings an army of Pinkie Pie’s, do whatever you want.” She crossed her arms and leaned on one leg. That was all I needed to hear.
“Then sign me up lady Era Spiral.” I said with a bow.
“Whatever, I felt your unease.” Era said, groaning a bit as she shifted in pain. “That all you need? I was in the middle of tormenting a Displacer.” That was something I never heard before.
“What is a displacer?” I asked not intending to keep her from her… work? “And are you alright, is there anything I can do to help you?”
“A Displacer is like the Merchant. Someone who makes Displaced, I am one myself, but I’m not an asshole about it…” She turned her head away from me. “And no, there’s nothing you can do.”
“Do you want to talk about it? I find it helps.” I wasn’t sure if I was walking on thin ice or not but I wanted to at least show I wanted to help.
“I don’t need to talk to you, I’m quite fine. I’ll see you at the war.” She had a blush on her sick looking face. I then turn into my half dragon form and rub my head.
“Alright but if you’re ever in need of a friend you know how to find me.” I said with a smile as I look up at the star’s. “Sometimes I wonder if all those stars have displaced living on them.”
“Could be, but I doubt it. Displaced are common, but not that common. If that’s all you need, I’ll be off. My daughter might end up breaking a universe if I’m not around.” I nod in understanding, not so much about the universe part but the having a kid part.
“Okay then, Era our contract is complete.” I said with a bow. “I hope you feel better or find a good mate.” I grinned at that last part.
“Fuck you…” She said before exploding into darkness. Well I guess I should go to bed, I call Cankerworm to follow me as we went back to the den.
I yawn as I get up out of bed looking around finding Moon Dancer and Singer in my bed. I missed having Sister, I mean Sonay in my bed. That going to take some time getting used to, anyway once I’m up I visit Sonay my big pink dragoness as she laid in the Maiden's Hatchery. No matter how many times I see her I still think she sexy.
“How my lovely pink hoarder doing.” I asked giving her head a nuzzle. She purred back at me as she gave me a kiss back. “How the new name working out?”
“It fine everyone just getting used to calling me Sonay, but I still enjoy being called Sister~” She purred at me as I go over to her belly and rub my hands over her. I couldn’t wait to see the little ones, there so close to being born I couldn’t stand it!
“Hey Sonay do you know where Chrysalis is? I didn’t see her when I woke up.” I asked as I looked around the large room, I’ll never understand how Rin magic works.
“I do not know but Chrysalis did say something about being with Pupa in the barth house.” Said Sonay as she get confbal on the soft floor. Huh, I wonder what that means? I then went off to the bath house to see what Chrysalis and Pupa were doing.
That when I heard Pupa scream in pain, I rushed inside looking for them and when I find them I’m shocked at what I was seeing. “Chrysalis what happening to Pupa!?” I yell in fear as I go over to them, not caring I was getting soaked by the water.
Pupa skin, carttin was covered in cracks and didn’t look well. I didn’t know what was wrong but I wanted to help my daughter. “What happening?! Is she going to be alright!” I asked in panic.
“Asphyxious calm down Pupa just molting.” Said Chrysalis as she held Pupa head above the water. Pupa was… Molting? Like a snake? I think as I look at them. I decided to stay with them just for moral support. Once the worries and fears were done, Pupa was okay… Bit taller and looked like a middle aged teen but she was okay now.
“Daddy I’m fine really.” Said Pupa as I was hugging her, I was worried. I’m aloud to worry over the wellbeing of my daughter.
“You’re sure?” I asked her as she just pouts at me. “Right, we’re going to have to get you some new clothes.” I tell her as Chrysalis put a blanket around Pupa. Looks like we’re going to ponyville.
I was not ready to met Rarity when we went to her shop, didn’t help the looks Pupa was getting from everyone. Chrysalis was happy as a bee to pollen. I wonder how long Rarity is going to stare at us for?
“You want me to make a dress for this mare who you say is Pupa. That cute little thing is this mare?” She asked in confusion. I guess she was having a hard time understanding Pupa growth. Hell I’m still trying to understand it myself.
“I’m willing to pay whatever you need for this.” I said as I look into my echo, but Rarity stopped me.
“Now darling I did say the next time I saw her I’d make her a dress for her and I’m sticking to that.” Said Rarity as she smiled at us. Well I guess this is okay, I just hope I don’t try and hoard her. She dues have a nice flan-NO! Stop it you’re here to buy clothes for Pupa. No more adding to the hoard!
As The three went off I just sat down and waited, a part of me said I should see how Twilight doing but I’m sure she fine. I also wondered if I should talk to Spike, he is a dragon but was he like me? I rubbed my face as I wait, why does all this stuff happen to me. I think as I stare up at the silean.
The peach and quiet was nice. That when I heard a cannon go off. “Oh for fucks sake.” I said as I get up and go outside. It better not be the cmc trying to get their marks in cannon firing. Once I’m outside I see smoke at Applejacks farm, That not good.
I made a call to Sonay to have some of my warjacks sent to me by portal… Maybe I should hold off asking her to make portals in her condition. I keep heading to the apple farm I hear a portal open behind me as seether and a Destroyer walk out and follow.
I really hope it the CMC if not I’m going to be pissed. I think as I hear another cannon shell go off. Odd, that sounded like my Destroyer cannon? That when I saw them Khadoran warjack... This could be bad… I carefully make my closer seeing what look like minotaurs in red armour. Two of them looked like Man-of-war.
“This is not good.” I said as I keep walking up to the farm. I then saw minotaurs guarding the farm as soon as they saw me they point their weapons at me. They have no idea who they're dealing with.
“Hold it right there!” Yelled one who looked like he was dressed like a Winter Guard by their uniforms. I looked around by the looks of things I can only see one warjack by the farm. By the looks of it there are 11 of them. 8 Winter Guard, 2 Man-of-wars One warjack and where the warcaster?
“I said get ya hooves off my sister!” I heard Applebloom yelled as a huge man walked out of the house. I was a little shocked at who I saw, it was Kommander Zoktavir, The Butcher of Khador. And by the looks of it he had Applejack in one arm.
“Get down on your knees!” Yelled the Winter Guard minotaur. I just slowly looked at him with my good eye and give my Destroyer one simple command.
“Fire.” I said, it cannon got off and turns the minotaur into mincemeat. I smiled at the mass on the ground, this got everyone else's attacion. Good, I always like to put on a show.
“Good day everyone, if you will give me the pleasure of introducing myself-.” I hide behind Seether as they fired at me. This looks like fun, I think as I pulled out my Butcher Shotgun. Oh the irony.
“So rude, you don’t even want to know my name!” I yelled as I gave my orders to my warjacks to attack. I had Seether change ahead and my Destroyer to pin down the enemy warjack. I then ran behind Seether as we’re being shot at. I don’t know why but I was having fun!
“Damnit! keep an eye on the prisoner!” I heard the Large man yell as he walked down into the battle as both of our warjacks were shooting at each other. I had Seether kill off the winter guard as I target the man-of-wars.
I found some cover as I hide behind a well as their shield cannons go off. I grinned at this I was having so much fun right now! I took at shot at them as they hide behind there shield’s, it only after the acid started eating away at the shield cannons they started backing off.
Bad move, I thought as I ran out at them. One looked like he was trying to reload his shield cannon. The other pulled out an axe cannon and fired at me, my echo shield gave out but it stop the shot. That was all the time I needed as I run up to the one playing with his shield and point my shotgun at his helmet.
“No hard feels right?” I asked and pulled the trigger. I shot him in the face three times before his body fell next to me.
“You bastard!” Yelled the second man-of-war minotaur. I smiled as I stepped back from the guy axe swing. His swings are too wide by the looks of things.
“Sorry.” I said as I shot him in the foot. I had to shot him a few more times for the acid to eat past the armour. I made my move once I heard him cry out in pain, I kicked him in the leg to get him to fall over. Not easy knocking over a guy in power armour who three times your size.
Once his on the ground I shot his axe hand, after the first shot he pulled his hand away to hide behind his shield. I just smiled at him as I walk over shooting at him. I stopped as a shadow was cast over me then teleported out of the way.
I looked back and saw the minotaur was carved clean in half by the Kommander. Looks like this Zoktavir is living up to his title. I think as I look back to my warjacks, my Destroyer was on it last legs as Seether was in melee with the enemy Destroyer and tour off the cannon arm by the looks of it.
“Who the hell are you! Why are you getting in my way from killing these weaklings!” Roared the large man in warcaster armour. I sighed as I looked the guy over, he looked angry was the only thing I could think of.
“Well for one thing you thought it was a good idea to try and take one of the elements. Next you attack me before I could even know your name. And by the looks of it you lost half your guys in this fight.” I said as I walk around.
“Why should you care? Wait are you like me? Then we should be working together to take over this world!” He said and I laughed.
“What your name?” I asked with a smile. This guy was full of himself.
“I gave up on that after I was sent here two years ago, call me Kommander Zoktavir, The Butcher of Khador! And I will rebuild that empire and take over this weak world!.” Said Zoktavir as he held up his axe.
“Well then Mr Zoktavir, My name is Asphyxious Hellbringer and this world is not as weak as you think.” I said back he then looked shocked, and was that fear I saw?
“You're lying you’re not a Iron Lich!” He yelled pointing at me. I smiled as I changed to my Lich form. The look of fear on his face was priceless, he then picks up one of the bodies and throw them at me I smack it out of the way and saw him running. With his damaged Destroyer following behind with what left of his winter guard.
“This is not my day.” I said as I turn back into my human form and look over AJ. “Hey is Applejack okay?” I asked as I saw she out cold alive but out like a light.
“I don’t know, I think she just knocked out.” Said Applebloom in worry. I then thought of something.
“Where big mac?” I asked and she points at the barn. The same barn with a hole in it, this looks bad. I qwickly go over and make my way inside, and make a call on my echo. “Sister I need a small group of dogs at the sweet apple acres not only that we need some healers…”
I stop what I’m about to say once I found Big Mac, shit. His arm was gone. “And get Kat and Gear Shift down here fast! We have wounded!” I yelled then get to work on stopping the bleeding.
“Big Mac wake up! I need you to wake up!” I shorted at him only getting gumbel, oh boy how am I going to explain this to Aj.
“They took my brother arm!” Yelled Applejack as she try to get up out of the hospital bed. The only thing stopping her was her friends and me standing in the doorway. My dogs were a little late showing up, but Gear Shift and Kat when in operating room with the other doacters. That was three hours ago.
“Look I know you want to help AJ but Big Mac lost a lot of blood and has three broken ribs.” I tell her as her friends try to get her back to bed.
“Don’t worry AJ I’ll deal with these punks.” Said Rainbow Dash as she dues a fist pump in the air.
“I wouldn't if I was you, this guy not afraid to kill someone. Not only that the minotaurs are working for him.” I told them as everyone looked at me. “Not only that but he said he's been here for two years.”
“That… Oh no.” Said Twilight as if she just thought of something. We all saw she teleported a book and started reading it.
“Something wrong Twi?” I asked as she quickly read through it.
“This was just reported that two years ago, some minotaurs asked for some help to deal with some kind of monster attack. About five weeks later we lost contact with the minotaur lands. About a year after that they started calling themselves the Khador army.” Said Twilight as she looks up at me.
“Looks like we’re dealing with another displaced, wonderful.” I said as I rub my face. I do not need this right now. I leave going for a walk that when I hear Time calling, just what I need. I have Sonay send me Cankerworm and turn into my lich form as I go into the portal.
I end up at canterlot… “Where the fuck am I?” I said as I sent Cankerworm off to look around. I sigh as I look up at the castle. Fuck it I’m not in the mood for this crap, and head on up.
