Kozama POV
I watched Xavier dodge yet another of my Chimera's attacks. I sat back in my chair as Xavier ran around trying to keep his distance from the Chimera. I smiled as the Chimera got him with its tail. Xavier struck the sand hard and coughed up a little blood. I chuckled as Xavier was right where I needed him. I watched as Xavier tried with all his strength to keep the Chimera from killing him. But he was losing that battle. He was weak, tired and broken.
All my research and experimenting is coming to an end. I smiled as I watched Xavier push the Chimera off of him. He huffed as he slowly got up. I watch the dark lines pulsing up his left arm. Xavier to scream at the top of his lungs as a dark glow consumed his body. Blackness consumed his blind left eye. A red dot came out of the darkness. A black aura surrounded his left arm as his arm began to transform. My smile grew as wide as I could get it. Yes! His arm began to transform into a large black blade with lines of pulsating red across it. Xavier ran forward before smashing his blade into the Chimera. But it wasn't over just yet, he removed the blade and chopped off its head. The Chimera fell dead to the ground, but that didn't stop Xavier. He began to jab and gut the dead Chimera. I laughed and clapped as Xavier gutted my dead experiment.
"What was that?" Asked Scissor Arm
"The final phase of my experiment," I said
Once Xavier was done carving the Chimera up, he looked up at me. We made eye contact for a second before he fell to the ground. I smiled as I knew he was out as his arm returned to him. I used my magic to cast a spell to create stairs for me to walk down to the arena as Scissor Arm just leaped down and landed on the ground. We both made our way over to Xavier. I bent down and checked his pulse. I felt his veins in his neck pulsing blood, meaning he was still alive. I smiled as I stood back up.
"I don't understand, how did he create that blade out of his arm?" Asked Scissor Arm
"It's easy, Scissor Arm. Black magic is known as construct magic. The user can make any weapon they wish. By ejecting liquid black magic into his body and letting it combine with his Fable Powers, it allowed him to manipulate the cellular structure of his arm and make it into a blade. I'm glad it finally happened because it allows me to finish phase one of my plan," I said
"So know what?" Asked Scissor Arm
I used my horn to teleport in a syringe. I flipped Xavier over and inserted the needle into Xavier's left arm and pulled the plunger back. A black liquid filled the syringe tub. Once I had enough, I removed the needle and looked at the liquid. Perfect, just perfect.
"Scissor Arm, take Xavier back to his cell," I said
Scissor Arm picked up Xavier and walked away with him. Everything is going as planned. I chuckled as I looked at the gutted Chimera. I smiled as I teleported back to my lab.
***
I came out of the teleportation and looked at all my equipment. I walked forward and placed a cap over the needle. I set it in a box and put the box near all my other relevant research. I watch the Chimera's moving my research through a portal to my second lab. I wasn't going to risk losing all of it. I knew Sunslut might find us one day, so I had to make sure the critical research didn't fall into her hands.
I looked back at the belt that sat on my desk. I picked it up as I looked at the two crystal shards that rested on the belt. Ever since the day I got the belt, I tried removing the crystal shards, but they wouldn't budge. I assumed that only Xavier could remove them. I huffed as I tossed the belt on the table. Doesn't matter, it won't be relevant soon. I went over to a jar with a purple liquid inside. I spun the jar around as I watched the swirling contents. I'm sad to see it all come to an end, but oh well. I smiled as I tossed the jar to another Chimera.
"Place that with the others and make sure the priming switch is ready," I said
The Chimera nodded as it walked away. I then turned to see another Chimera walking to me. It stopped in front of me and bowed.
"What is it?" I asked
"Equestrian....warships...coming." It said
A wicked smile appeared on my face as I heard Equestria airships were coming to the Blood Dome. So Sunslut finally found where Xavier is. Took her long enough. I laughed as I looked at the Chimera.
"Gather all available Chimeras put them in the front gates. Let's give Sunslut the hello she deserves," I said
The Chimera nodded as it ran off. I laughed as I walked off to find Scissor Arm. I guess I will get two kill birds with one stone. I chuckled louder as I walked down the halls of the Blood Dome.
***
3rd Person POV
The Equestrian airships drew closer to the Blood Dome. Guards ran across the deck checking the guns and putting on their armor. The guards checked each other to make they were ready for combat. After three days of non-stop traveling, the twenty-five warships were now on their final approach to the Blood Dome. Celestia stood at the front of The Celestial. Her gold armor was shining brightly in the sunlight. The armor covered every inch of her body. Her tail tied into a tight bun as was her mane. She held her spear tight as she looked at Blood Dome. Her spear had a 'V' at the top with a sun on each end, and the spearhead was coming out in the middle.
Luna stepped up to her sister full covered in dark blue armor. She had her mane and tail tied into a tight bun as well. On her back was her sword. The hilt was a blue color with a gem in the middle, and two wings went to each side of the handle. She looked at her sister.
"It seems we finally reached the Blood Dome." Said Luna
"It would seem so, sister." Said Celestia
The warships drew closer and closer to the Blood Dome. Celestia turned back to see the Mane six outfitted in Solar Guard armor to protect them. Chi, White Claw, and Barb also wore Solar Guard armor as well. Flame and Natasha stood next to them but didn't wear any armor. Fang walked up in her green armor.
"The guards are ready as well as the canons." Said Fang
"Excellent, now would you fly over to The Crystal Love and check on Cadance and Shining Armor." Said Celestia
"Yes, princess." Said Fang
She opened her bat wings and flew off to The Crystal Love. Twilight came walking up to Celestia and Luna as she looked at the dome.
"So that's it?" Asked Twilight
"Yes Twilight, the Blood Dome. Created by the mad Griffon king." Said Celestia
"What did he use it for?" Asked Twilight
"The mad king used to have gladiator fights using captured POWs." Said Celestia
Fang came back and landed next to the princesses.
"Cadance and Shining are ready." Said Fang
"Excellent." Said Celestia
The twenty-five airships slowly made their way to the front of the Blood Dome. The ships spread out to make sure to protect the ground units.
"I will descend to the ground below first, then the guards will follow. Rainbow, Barb, Natasha and Flame will stay on The Celestial." Said Celestia
Everypony nodded as Celestia opened her wings and flew down to the ground. The rest of the ground units following close behind. Once on the ground, the guards began to span out and checking to make sure that nopony was ready to strike them.
"All clear." Said a guard
"Then let's move forward." Said Celestia
Celestia led the large group of ground units as the airships watched over them. The ponies move forward checking the area, but little did they know that Kozama and Scissor Arm were watching the ponies.
"Now what, doctor?" Asked Scissor Arm
"We have to stale them until the Chimera's get all my research to my second lab and the bomb is ready." Said Kozama
Scissor Arm chuckled as he ran forward and leaped into the air. Kozama smiled he moved forward. I guess it could be fun to spill a little blood.
A pair of Solar Guards were moving forward towards the massive steel doors in front of them. Chi stopped in her tracks as her ears flicked back and forth. White Claw paused as she looked at Chi.
"What's up, Chi?" Asked White Claw
"Something's coming, something big." Said Chi
"What?" Asked White Claw
Chi's ears flicked a few more times before her eyes went wide and she ran right towards Twilight. She stopped Twilight dead in her tracks.
"Chi, what's wrong?" Asked Twilight
"The guards in the front, pull them back!" Exclaimed Chi
"What?" Asked Twilight
"Just do it!" Exclaimed Chi
Twilight wasn't sure what got into Chi, but she knew to trust the fox. She activated her horn and pulled the two guards back. It was just in time as a large object struck the ground. The front line unicorn guards brought up a shield to block any projectiles flying towards them. They lowered the shield as Twilight lowered the guards. The guards got ready as they waited to see what just landed.
As the smoke cleared, they watched as a figure covered in silver armor appeared out of the smoke. Fang knew right away who it was.
"Scissor Arm." Murmured Fang
Scissor Arm slowly pulled himself out of the crater he made on impact. He towered over the guards as they slowly readied themselves for battle. Scissor Arm chuckled as he looked at the guards. A shiver went down all their spines as they heard Scissor Arm's dark laughter.
"What a wonderful surprise."
Everypony looked to see a set of blue steps coming from the king's seat. The ponies watched as a pony in a lab coat slowly made his way down the steps. But nopony recognized him, except for Celestia. Her eyes widened as she saw a pony she swore was dead. A pony she swore she would never see again. The pony stepped onto the sand and made his way over to Scissor Arm. He gave a wicked smile as his eyes landed on Celestia.
"Hello, Tia." Said Kozama
"Kozama." Muttered Celestia
"It's great to see you again. I never thought the day would come I would get to say hello to you again." Said Kozama
"But you're supposed to be dead." Said Celestia
"Maybe, but I guess you can't keep a good doctor down." Said Kozama
"But how?" Asked Celestia
"It's easy my dear princess of the sun; I made a deal with the devil." Said Kozama
"You're part of Pandora's followers." Said Luna
"Yes, I am." Said Kozama
He laughed until he stopped as he watched Celestia point her spear at him. Kozama paused as he looked at Celestia.
"Enough Kozama, where is Xavier!" Demanded Celestia
"I guess it is time to talk about the reason your here." Kozama rubbed his chin as he chuckled lightly. "I must say Tia, your little human friend sure is interesting. From the second I laid eyes on him, I knew he was important."
"What have you done with Xavier, tell me or else!" Demanded Celestia
"You think I'm scared of you, princess." He chuckled once again. "Hardly, but I guess you do deserve an answer to what transpired here these past two and a half weeks. The answer is simple, torture. The day he appeared in front of him, I have been breaking his mind." Kozama grinned wider as he looked at the shocked ponies. "Whether it be electrocution, waterboarding and everything else under the sun, I used it on him. You should have heard his screams; it was like beautiful music. But not only did I torture him, but I also made him kill." Kozama snapped his fingers, and the gates behind him open, and out came his Chimeras. The guards stood firm as the army of Chimeras stepped out of the gates. "These Tia are my Chimeras. I created them to be my army by kidnapping creatures from all over Eques and tearing their genetic structure apart and mixing it with animal DNA."
"That's sick." Said Luna
"No, it's science, such beautiful science. As I stated before, I made Xavier kill my Chimeras. The fun part was that each Chimera is still alive and remembers their past lives. So when I put Xavier in the arena with one of my pony Chimeras, he was killing one of your subjects. But it all moved to one goal, one perfect goal, to break Xavier Young. And if you wish to know, I did it. I broke him like a twig. I broke the great hero of Equestria." Kozama laughed at the top of his lungs as looked at Celestia with crazy filled eyes. "You failed Celestia; you failed again. Another sin on your hands all because you could never kill me. Tell me, Tia, how does it feel to fail?"
Kozama laughed as Celestia gripped her spear with all her strength. She couldn't back her rage any longer, and flew right for Kozama. She readied to strike down Kozama, but before her spear could make contact, a shield surrounded him. Kozama looked at Tia as he gave her a wicked smile.
"You still attack without thinking." Said Kozama
The shield exploded, sending Celestia away. Celestia quickly got herself under control. She looked at Kozama as he pointed his hand at her. Celestia watched as a blue glow covered herself. She tried to break free with her magic, but couldn't. Kozama smiled as he pointed his fingers at the ground. Celestia felt her body move towards the ground and slam into it. Kozama raised his finger to the sky and Celestia rose before he pointed it back down. Celestia went slamming down once again. Kozama continued it until he threw his finger to the right side and sent Celestia into a wall of the arena. He smiled as he released his magic.
"Sister!" Screamed Luna
Luna turned back to Kozama, Scissor Arm, and the army of Chimeras. She growled as he drew her sword and pointed it at Kozama. Kozama nodded to Scissor Arm as he chuckled softly. He cracked his knuckled before he heard a snap of Kozama's fingers. The Chimeras screamed as they began to run at the ponies with Scissor Arm leading the way.
"Attack!" Ordered Luna
The guards screamed as they armed themselves with their swords, spears, and shields as they ran right at Scissor Arm and the Chimeras with Luna leading the way. The two sides clashed as the battle to save Xavier began. Kozama smiled as he began to make his way towards Celestia to continue his fun.
Ponies clashed with the Chimeras and Scissor Arm. The sand of the Blood Dome started to turn red with blood as both sides took loses. Guards tried their best to fight Scissor Arm, but he tore each of them apart. A unicorn guard attempted to blast the walking metal monster with his magic, but it only reflected off of him. Scissor Arm turned to the unicorn and grabbed by his head and crushed it like a melon. The body fell to the ground as Scissor Arm chuckled.
"I'm starting to enjoy this." Said Scissor Arm
He turned and ran into a crowd of guards to continue to spill their blood. Luna and Fang were cutting down Chimeras. The two huffed as they backed into each other.
"There are way too many." Said Fang
"Then I believe it's time we attack from the air." Said Luna
She used her horn to send a sphere of magic into the air. It exploded sending a signal to the airships. The captains began to bark orders as the deck crew turned the canons on the battlefield. The deck crew lit the fuse and released the cannonballs. Explosions echoed the battlefield as cannonballs struck the ground. Luna smiled until she saw Kozama walking to her sister.
Luna took to the air as she flew off to rescue her sister. Cadance watched Luna fly off as she pulled her sword from a dead Chimera. Cadance looked to see where Luna was heading. Luna's going to need help. Cadance looked to her husband as he fought off Chimeras with the Crystal Guards. He can take care of himself. Cadance took to the air as well to support her auntie.
Celestia pushed the stone from her body as she grabbed her aching head. Damn! Celestia looked up to see Kozama coming towards her. She pushed herself up into a standing position as she wiped the blood from her chin. Celestia pointed her spear at the sky as rays of light surrounded Kozama. She pointed her spear at Kozama and down came rays of fire from the sun.
Each beam struck the ground in a fiery explosion. Celestia smiled, but that disappeared when a beam of magic came right at her. She quickly raised a shield and blocked it. Once it was safe, she lowered her guard and looked to see Kozama perfectly fine. He smiled as he charged his horn and released multiple blasts of magic at Celestia. She took to the air as she dodged each attack. She avoided the last attack and made her way right for Kozama.
"Die!" Screamed Celestia
Celestia began to attack Kozama with her spear, but he dodged each attack. Celestia growled as she tried to land a single attack on him.
"What's wrong, Tia, am I to fast for you." Said Kozama
He chuckled as he leaped into the air and kicked Celestia right in the face. Celestia walked back dazed, which allowed Kozama to charge another attack. Celestia got herself back together to watch as another set of magic beams came at her. Luckily Luna and Cadance came to Celestia's rescue. The two alicorns landed next to Celestia and raised a shield to block the attack.
"Are you ok, sister?" Asked Luna
"Thanks to you and Cadance." Said Celestia
The shield dropped as Celestia looked to Cadance as she held her long sword tight in her grasp. She looked over to Luna who held her sword fast in her grasp. She tightened her grip on her spear as she charged at Kozama with Luna and Cadance. Kozama smiled as he got ready to fight the three alicorns of Equestria.
Inside the Blood Dome, Sin was working on the lock of the prison door. She licked her lips as she tried to break the lock. Come on your stupid lock. Rumbling sounds shook the walls of the dome as the battle continued to grow outside. Sin knew this was the time to escape. She finally heard the sound of a click and pushed the door open. She walked over to the unconscious Xavier and picked him up. Now, I need to find my weapons. Sin took off down a hallway to find Kozama's lab, where he kept her weapons.
Outside the battle raged as the warships kept firing down on the ground battle. Spotters made sure that the cannon fire didn't hit a set of guards. A spotter found Scissor Arm marching towards a set of guards in close combat. The spotter yelled his orders to the gunners as they fired off their rounds.
Cannonballs went towards Scissor Arm and struck him. The gunners cheered, but that ended quickly as the smoke cleared showed Scissor Arm didn't have a dent in his armor. He looked up at the airship before pressing his boots into the dirt and leaping into the air. Scissor Arm came crashing down on the deck of the ship as the guards readied themselves for battle. But it was a useless fight as Scissor Arm tore the guards apart without a problem.
Scissor Arm tore the ship apart until he found the magic crystal that powered the warship. He smiled as he approached it and pressed his hand on the crystal and placed a spell on it. He ran through the ship and bashed his way out of the side of the airship as it exploded into a fireball. The explosion pulled guards attention to the falling airship.
Shining watched as one of the Canterlot warships went down in a fireball. Fuck! Shining spied Scissor Arm as he landed on the ground. He growled as he decided to end the metal monster that was carving his guards to pieces. Shining ran towards him and spotted Fang doing the same thing. The two nodded as they went to stop Scissor Arm.
Scissor Arm watched as the airship fell to the ground. He turned to a set of new Chimeras with wings coming towards him.
"Take to the air and destroy those airships." Ordered Scissor Arm
The Chimeras nodded as they took to the air. The deck crews now armed themselves as the Chimeras started to attack the airships. Scissor Arm chuckled but stopped when a blast of magic hit his chest. He looked to see Shining and Fang coming towards him. He laughed as ran towards them. Fang and Shining Armor readied themselves for combat.
The mane six did their best to deal with the Chimeras. Applejack used her brute strength to help out the guards and bring down a few Chimeras. Rainbow used her speed and Xavier's training to fight back against the flying Chimeras. Rarity and Twilight used their magic to fight back, while Pinkie was herself as she bounced around and fired off her party cannon. But the one not fighting was Fluttershy as she stood still. Twilight placed a protective spell over her to make sure the Chimeras didn't hurt her.
Twilight blast off another Chimera as an explosion rocketed through the air. She looked up to see a Crystal Empire warship burst into flames. Unicorns and pegasi helped move earth pony guards away from the exploding ship. That's the third ship we lost. At this rate will all die before we even save Xavier. Twilight looked over to Applejack as she hit the dirt hard from a Chimera. She was going to attack when a flying Chimera pushed her to the ground. She struggled to break free for the Chimera.
Twilight watched as a tail wrapped around the neck and with a hard twist, snapped the Chimera's neck. She pushed the dead body away as she looked at White Claw.
"Thanks, White Claw." Said Twilight
"No problem." Said White Claw
Twilight watched as Applejack got back to her feet thanks to Chi. The two ran over to them.
"Thanks, Chi, I owe ya." Said Applejack
"No need, I was protecting my friend." Said Chi
"Glad to see you're ok, Applejack." Said Twilight
"No kiddin', if Chi hadn't come to my rescue, I would be returnin' home in a body bag." Said Applejack
The sound of a thud brought the girls attention to a groaning Fang and Shining Armor. The four ran over to help the two ponies. Twilight and Applejack got Fang and Shining Armor back to their hooves as a heavy stomping sound came towards them. They all turned to see Scissor Arm walking towards them.
"Damn, we threw everything at him and did nothing." Said Shining
"He's like a walking fortress." Said Fang
Chi and White Claw looked at each other and nodded before White Claw turned back to the group.
"Get Shining Armor and Fang out of here. Chi and I will deal with the walking armor." Said White Claw
"You sure." Said Twilight
"We got this, plus I want to show Scissor Arm what happens when you mess with a Sphinx's lover." Said White Claw
Twilight and Applejack nodded as they helped Fang and Shining get away. White Claw armed her claws and flapped her wings get into the air. Chi got herself in position before bolting at Scissor Arm, while White Claw flew at her top speed. Scissor Arm saw the two coming. He chuckled before bolting right towards them.
Sin smashed the skull of a Chimera with her hoof as she huffed and puffed. Another one dead. Sin continued to head for Kozama's lab. I know it's close. She kept running down hallways but never finding the lab. How did anypony ever find their way in this lab? Finally, Sin came to a metal door. She grabbed the handle and began to push the metal door.
She stopped pushing once she had enough room to enter. She saw it was the lab of Dr. Kozama. Finally. She looked around and saw that all of his research was gone. But Sin didn't have time to waste on thinking where Kozama put it all. She searched the lab before what she was looking for and found it.
She set Xavier on the floor and grabbed her dual chain blades. She strapped the backpack sheaths onto her back and made sure it was a good fit. She then saw a belt with two crystal shards in it and a heart as the buckle. Must be the belt that holds the Crystal Shard Dragons that Xavier spoke about. She picked up the belt and saw a small notebook as well. She picked it up and looked it over.
She didn't have time to skim it as a Chimera grabbed her neck and began to strangle her. Damn it! Sin sent her head back and bashed it against the Chimera's head. She felt the Chimera loosen its grip. She pushed it away and took hold of her blades.
Sin's blades came from rare rune stones, which allowed her to turn them into whips thanks to the chains built inside. Sin was the only one who could use the swords as she was the only one who could activate the runes. She used her demonic powers to activate the runes, turning her swords into two chain swords. The stone parts separated away revealing the chains inside. Sin sent both blades flying, and slicing the Chimera into three pieces. Sin wiped the swords and made them whole again. She placed them back in her sheath before pocketing the book and putting the belt around her waist.
She ran over to Xavier and picked him up and exited the lab. Now, we escape. Fang began to run to the nearest exit but stopped as she felt something filling the air, a power that was similar to hers but much stronger.
Fluttershy, the only pony, not fighting in combat, stood still to the world of violence and death around her. She didn't move a muscle as screams of dying filled the air. Her breathing was calm in the midst of war. She didn't react to her friends fighting for their lives or the guards of Canterlot and the Crystal Empire fighting the endless amount of Chimeras. Or the airships were exploding around her.
"Tortured him...broke him."
Fluttershy kept murmuring those words. The only words that continued to play in her head. Fluttershy continued to utter those words as she stood motionless in hell. Soon a Chimera came at her and started to bash against the shield before two more joined the first one. Twilight could feel the attack on her shield.
"Tortured him."
The Chimeras started to crack away at Twilight's shield. Twilight could feel the spell breaking and knew Fluttershy needed her help. She told the others, and they began to make their ways toward Fluttershy.
"Broke him."
A fourth Chimera joined the attack as well. The shield cracked before it completely broke. Twilight felt her protective spell break over Fluttershy and started to book it to her friend. She could only hope not to see Fluttershy dead. She couldn't bear to see one of her friends and harem mates dead on the ground.
A Chimera with crab claws for arms walked up to the still Fluttershy. It rose its claw and sent it flying towards Fluttershy, but Fluttershy stopped the claw with her hand. She rose her head as her eyes were now turning demonic. She froze the Chimera as she looked at it with her demon eyes.
She didn't say a word as she broke the Chimera's crab arm before moving forward and bashing her hand through its chest and crushing its heart. She turned to the other three and did the same exact thing. Blood dripped from both of her hands as she looked at them.
"Death to all who hurt Xavier."
Fluttershy searched the battle for a particular pony. She soon spotted Kozama fighting the princesses. She began to make her way over to him. The other arrived to see her walking away. The bodies of the Chimeras laying on the ground with holes in their chests.
"What happened to them?" Asked Shining
Twilight had an idea of what happened. But she could also tell from the dark demonic energy starting to fill the air. Fluttershy's releasing Cattosis.
Fluttershy walked through the battlefield making her way to Kozama. She killed any Chimeras that stood in her way. Guards watched as she tore the Chimeras apart like tissue paper. She continued her march towards the mad doctor.
Kozam slammed his magically covered fist into Luna's armor sending magic waves through her body and cracking three ribs. Kozama smiled as he released the spell and sent Luna flying into the air before striking the sand with her back. She coughed up blood from the impact as she groaned from the pain. Kozama laughed as he rose his hand to place up a shield to block Cadance's sword. He turned his head and smiled as he disappeared.
Cadance looked around but felt a fist strike her face hard and fast, sending her into the ground and sliding to where her aunties rested. Celestia looked over to Cadance as she came to a stop as blood leaked from her nose and mouth. Damn, we're not doing a thing to him. Celestia pushed herself back up to a standing position as she looked at Kozama.
"I thought the three alicorns of Equestria would be tougher than what I'm facing." Said Kozama
Celestia growled but stopped when demonic energy started to fill the air. She turned to see Fluttershy walking up to them. Kozama turned his head to look at the shy little mare stepping up to them. He raised his eyebrow as Fluttershy stopped. Luna and Cadance looked at Fluttershy as they could also feel the demonic energy.
"Fluttershy if I'm correct. The shy one of Xavier Young's harem, and also the bearer of the Element of Kindness." Fluttershy didn't respond. "You know it's rude not to speak when spoken to, my dear."
"You're going to pay," said Fluttershy in a low demonic voice.
The voice sent shivers of fear running down the three alicorn's spines.
"What?" Asked Kozama
"I'm going to kill you for what you did to Xavier!" Screamed Fluttershy
Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs as her demonic markings appeared. The markings started to spread across her face. Her Pegasus wings fell off her body and replaced by six large raven black wings. Fangs came out of her mouth as well as her eyes becoming cat-like. The princesses could feel the demonic energy coming off Fluttershy. It was like death itself was standing where Fluttershy was.
Kozama looked at Fluttershy before a fist struck Kozama right in the face and sent him barreling at incredible speeds into the wall behind him. The princesses couldn't believe their eyes as they watched Kozama going flying into the wall. They looked at Fluttershy as she made her way to Kozama. Luna got next to her sister as they watched Fluttershy walk away.
"Sister, what happened to Fluttershy?" Asked Luna
Cadance was able to get to her feet as well and make her way to her aunties, "Yes, Auntie Celestia."
"Cattosis," was all that Celestia muttered out of her mouth.
Fluttershy made her way as Kozama pushed the rubble away from him. He got to his feet as he brushed the dirt off of his lab coat. What demonic powers she has. Seeing it from afar is one thing, but feeling the power is something else. She has more of Cattosis's powers than Sin. Kozama smiled as he looked at Fluttershy.
"You sure are impressive. When I first saw your demonic power is when you and your friends made that deal with Stray Wolf. But now seeing it up front and even feeling it, I have to say you are impressive." Said Kozama
"Oh, I have only used a small portion of my powers. Let me show you what I can do." Said Fluttershy
Kozama smiled as he snapped his fingers and six Chimeras appeared in front of him. He pointed his finger at Fluttershy, "Kill her."
The Chimeras roared as they rushed forward to kill Fluttershy. Fluttershy stood ready and quickly moved out of the way of each of the attacks. Fluttershy was to fast for the Chimeras to land a single attack. Fluttershy growled as she began to kill each Chimera by ripping out their hearts. Kozama clapped as Fluttershy crushed the last beating organ in her hands.
"Impressive, oh yes." Kozama snapped his fingers once again. Twelve Chimeras appeared in front of Fluttershy. "Now let's see you deal with this."
The Chimeras charged Fluttershy. She took to the air and dodged the attack, but turned to see two flying Chimeras coming at her. She flew up higher to avoid them. I need to deal with these Chimeras before I can deal with Kozama. Fluttershy turned and bolted for the sky.
Rainbow kicked another flying Chimera away from The Celestial. She huffed as she looked at Flame who finished off the flying Chimeras attacking him. Barb also finished fighting off a few Chimeras. Natasha was acting as a spotter for the gunners.
"How are you holding up?" Asked Rainbow
"I still got plenty of fight left in me." Said Flame
"Yeah, but for how much longer?" Asked Barb
Another explosion echoed through the air. The three turned to watch a Canterlot warship explode into nothing.
"Damn, that's the fifth ship we've lost." Said Rainbow
"At the rate this battle is going, nopony will be returning home." Said Flame
Rainbow nodded as she turned to see the ground battle was a bloodbath. I hope you girls are ok down there. Rainbow then turned to see Fluttershy flying high into the sky. She blinked her eyes to make sure she saw everything correctly. When did Fluttershy get raven wings and what's up with those markings.
Fluttershy stopped when she was high above both the air battle and the ground battle. Time to finish these Chimeras. Fluttershy raised her hands above her head. Soon the blood of the dead began to fly up into the sky. Guards watched as the blood went into the sky. They turned their heads to see the blood beginning to swirl around the sky like a storm. The wind began to pick up as Fluttershy created her blood storm.
Scissor Arm threw White Claw into Chi as the two rolled away from him. He laughed until he watched the blood around him move into the sky. White Claw and Chi also watched the blood disappear into the air. Scissor Arm turned to Kozama and ran over to him.
"What's going on, Kozama?" Asked Scissor Arm
"What power," was all Kozama said as he watched Fluttershy.
Fluttershy swirled the blood around the sky creating a large blood storm. I need more of Cattosis's power. Fluttershy screeched at the top of her lungs as more seals appeared on her body. A smaller set of raven wings came out of her back. Fluttershy looked down at Kozama as he watched her.
"Death to all, who hurt my stallion!" Screamed Fluttershy
The storm swirled faster and faster before thousands upon thousands of blood needles rained from the sky. The needles hunted down the Chimeras and tore them apart. Ponies watched as the Chimeras became nothing. Fluttershy chuckled as her storm of needles tore the Chimeras to pieces and added their blood to her storm.
"Yes die, DIE!!!" Screamed Fluttershy
Scissor Arm watched as the needles came at him and Kozama. Kozama raised his hand to create a shield. The needles struck the shield but didn't break through it. Kozama eyed Fluttershy as he smiled. What power, what beautiful power.
Soon it was over; every Chimera was nothing more than blood that was now hovering in the storm above. The guards couldn't believe their eyes as they looked up at Fluttershy. Fluttershy snapped her fingers as the storm began to rubble before it started to rain. Everypony started to get soaked in the rain. Shining looked at the rain before he realized what was raining on top of them.
"Its blood, its raining blood." Said Shining
Rarity shrieked as she used whatever magic she had left to cover herself.
"Gross, so gross." Said Rarity
"But why is Fluttershy making it rain blood?" Asked Twilight
The princesses landed next to the mane six, Shining Armor and Fang.
"Shining order the guards to get the wounded to the ships and retrieve the dog tags of the dead." Said Celestia
Shining saluted before running off to tell the guards. The other turned to watch as Fluttershy landed on the ground. Booms of thunder echoed through the air. Kozama dropped his shield and let the blood soak him and Scissor Arm. Scissor Arm cracked his knuckles as he readied to fight Fluttershy.
"You're not dead yet, good." She looked at Scissor Arm and Kozama with her demonic eyes. "I wanted to spill your blood personally."
"We'll see about that, bitch." Said Scissor Arm
Scissor Arm ran at Fluttershy. He readied his fist to strike her, but she disappeared into the blood. Scissor Arm stopped as he looked around for her. Where did she go? Scissor Arm felt something wrap around his legs. He looked to see blood tentacles wrapping around his feet and pull him away from the ground. Fluttershy remerged from the blood and snapped her fingers. The tentacles began to wipe Scissor Arm around like a rag doll, before launching him into a wall. Fluttershy then turned her sights on Kozama.
She pointed her fingers at him. Tentacles of blood rose from the blood and went towards Kozama. He rose a shield but could feel the attacks breaking through his shield. He pushed more magic into his shield to keep it from breaking. He watched as more tentacles appeared with tipped ends. They bashed their tip ends into the shield. Damn, I might have underestimated her powers.
"When Fluttershy told us about Cattosis's blood magic, I never expected it to be this powerful." Said Rarity
Celestia perked up at that as she watched the battle and the retreat of the wounded and the collection of the dog tags of the dead. She turned back to Rarity, who still had her shield up blocking the blood storm.
"You knew about Fluttershy's demon side." Said Celestia
Rarity looked up at the princess and chuckled as she tapped her fingers together. Great going Rarity. Luckily Twilight spoke up for Rarity.
"Yes, Fluttershy told the harem about Cattosis." Said Twilight
"And when we're going to tell me?" Asked Celestia
Before Twilight could answer, Fang spoke up, "Princess, I know you want answers, but we should focus on using Fluttershy's distraction to call a full retreat. I can go into the Blood Dome to search for Xavier so that we can leave."
Celestia did want her answer but knew this was the perfect time to retreat her forces. She looked at Twilight before turning back to Fang.
"Yes, it's time we take a full tactical retreat. Fang, I want you to search for Xavier and get him out of the Blood Dome and back to The Celestial." Fang saluted before she flew off. "The rest of us will head for The Celestial." The ponies nodded as they made their way to the airships.
"Enough!" Exclaimed Kozama
He blasted the blood tentacles away as he huffed and puffed. He then looked to see the ponies were retreating. That was enough of a distraction to allow Fluttershy to get up and close to strike him in the chest. It sent him flying right where Scissor Arm was pulling himself back up. He walked over to Kozama and pulled him out of the rubble.
"How do we beat that bitch?" Asked Scissor Arm
"We don't; we're retreating." Said Kozama
"What?!" Exclaimed Scissor Arm
Kozama raised another shield as blood tentacles came down to kill the two. More and more tentacles tried to destroy the shield that was protecting Kozama and Scissor Arm.
"We did what we had to do. Now we retreat and continue the plan." Kozama opened a portal and out came the last of his Chimeras. "Is everything ready?" The Chimeras nodded and handed Kozama a detonator switch. He smiled as he held the trigger. "Now attack the bitch."
The Chimeras roared as they exited the shield and ran for Fluttershy. But Fluttershy's tentacles tore them to pieces before they even get to her. She laughed as she looked at Kozama.
"You should have known they were just going to die." Said Fluttershy
"Yes my dear, but it gave me time to arm this." He showed Fluttershy the detonator switch. He pressed the switch before crushing it. "Farewell my dear, please tell Celestia it was fun seeing her again."
Fluttershy growled as the tentacles began to bash even harder on the shield. But Kozama smiled as he and Scissor Arm disappeared into the portal. The shield fell, and Fluttershy tentacles hit the ground. She screeched as her pry was now gone. But that ended when explosions echoed the area. He's armed the place with explosives. Explosion after explosion filled the arena. I need to find Xavier before this place goes up in fire. Fluttershy turned to the guards trying to escape the arena. She used her blood magic to tell the tentacles to save the guards. Once she had that down, she then flew off to find Xavier.
Guards rushed to get the wounded onto the airships and pull them away from the exploding arena. But it was taking longer thanks to the massive losses of the battle. Twilight and the princesses used their magic to get guards onto the ships. Rainbow used her speed to get guards onto the ship, but it seemed impossible to get them all on the ships and pull them away.
"Sister, we're running out of time." Said Luna
Celestia knew it was right until she felt the blood moving under her. She watched as tentacles of blood appeared. She readied her weapon but watched as the tentacles picked up the guards and put them on airships.
"It seems Fluttershy ordered the blood to help us." Said Luna
"It would seem so. Now let's hurry, I don't want to be here when this place goes up in smoke." Said Celestia
Luna nodded as they doubled their efforts to get the guards onto the ships.
Sin ran for her life trying to escape the explosions. Fuck, fuck, fuck! She watched as a support beam fell in front of her. She ran at full speed and slid under it as the rest of the roof fell to the ground. I need to find the exit or Xavier, and I are going to die. Sin kept running until she heard flapping coming her way. She looked to see Fang coming her way. Fang stopped when she saw Sin holding Xavier.
"I've come to help you out." Said Fang
"Great, because we need to leave right now." Said Sin
Fang nodded as she flew down the hallway she came down with Sin following close behind. But the two stopped as explosion caused the roof to fall in front of them. The two cursed as they turned around for the same thing to happen.
"Great, we're trapped." Said Fang
Soon the wall beside them explode, and the two turned to see Fluttershy. Sin could feel the heavy level of demonic energy coming off of her. I can feel Cattosis inside of her, just like me.
"Great to see you, Fluttershy." Said Fang
"Yes, now where is Xavier?" Asked Fluttershy
"I have him, but we need to move now before this place goes up." Said Sin
Fluttershy flew over to Xavier and grabbed him, and flew off. Fang following close behind and Sin following behind Fang, and thanks to Fluttershy, she could fly. The three flew through the corridors as they headed for the exit as explosions rocketed through the Blood Dome. Fang pointed to the exit, and the three escaped as they flew towards The Celestial.
The three landed on the front of The Celestial. The mane six, Barb, the princesses, Shining Armor, Flame, and Natasha, ran up to them. Sin looked back at the dome as the explosion continued to rocket through the dome. But she could see the ships weren't moving fast enough.
"Did we get everypony on the ships?" Asked Fang
"Yes, thanks to Fluttershy's blood tentacles." Said Celestia
"We need to go faster." Said Sin
"What?" Asked Celestia
"All your ships need to go faster." Said Sin
"Why?" Asked Luna
"Because in another minute or so the explosions are going to reach the liquid magic under the dome." Said Sin
Celestia's eyes widened as she looked at the captain of The Celestial.
"Captain Star Speed, full speed! Order that to all ships!" Said Celestia
"Understood." Said Captain Star Speed
Soon the ships began to speed up and move faster away from the dome.
"What's happening, princess?" Asked Twilight
"When you ignite liquid magic it causes a powerful explosion that can level houses, and with enough magic even whole cities." Said Celestia
"Yes and Kozama placed enough to level the arena and fifteen feet around it." Said Sin
"Captain Star Speed, push the ship to maximum speed." Said Celestia
Captain Star Speed nodded and pushed the accelerator to maximum making the ship go as fast as it could. The other airships followed suit. Everypony turned as a massive explosion rocketed through the air. The ponies turned around but had to cover their eyes as a white light consumed the Blood Dome and the land around it. Then it was over, and all that remained was a crater and mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
Ponies could feel that the magic in the air was weak. Pegasi couldn't push themselves a few inches from the ground. Unicorns could only perform simple spells, and earth ponies felt weak.
"Why do I feel weak?" Asked Applejack
"Yeah." Said Rainbow
"Because when liquid magic explodes, it drains the magic of the area. It drains it so bad that it takes years to replenish the natural magic of that area. By the look of that explosion, the area will probably never have magic for centuries to come." Said Celestia
"Will we be ok?" Asked Rarity
"Yes, everything should go back to normal when we reach an area with more natural magic." Said Celestia
The group nodded before then turned to the unconscious Xavier. He slowly breathed in Fluttershy's arms. The group could only see the horror that sat on Xavier's body.
"Get me a medic this instant!" Ordered Celestia
***
The medic ponies looked over Xavier. The medics had to wait until they reached an area with more natural magic before checking over him. While they waited, the group got acquainted with Sin. The group decided to ask Sin about everything that happened to Xavier. Sin spun her tale for them, and the ponies could only feel disgusted for what Kozama did to him, but also relief that Sin was watching over him.
"If I ever get my hands on that Dr. Kozama." Said Rainbow
"Don't get cocky Rainbow." She turned to Fluttershy who was back to her normal self. "Only when using my demonic side did I stand a chance against him."
"Yes, he was able to beat three alicorn princesses without breaking a sweat." Said Luna
"I'm just glad Xavier is alive, and we still have the Crystal Shard Dragons." Said Twilight
"Yes, and here." Sin handed Celestia the notebook. "It's all I could get on Kozama's research."
"Thank you, Sin." Said Celestia
"So how is he?" Asked Flame
"Yes, please tell us." Said Applejack
The lead medic stood up, "We checked him over. He seems to be ok. We couldn't find any wounds that needed healing or damage to his internal organs."
"Why do I feel there's but in that sentence." Said Flame
"But we did find something interesting." Said the medic
"What?" Asked Cadance
"Black magic." Said the medic
"But how?" Asked Shining
"We aren't sure how. We aren't even sure how to explain the black lines that are running up Xavier's left arm." Said the medic
Celestia looked down at the notebook. She cracked it open and began to turn the pages searching for anything. She finally found what she was looking for, and started to read over it.
"Find something, sister?" Asked Luna
"Sadly, yes. It seems Kozama was pumping Xavier full of black magic. But it doesn't say why he has the black lines running up his left arm." Said Celestia
"But what is black magic?" Asked Flame
"A forbidden construct magic. The magic allows the user to create any weapon they wish or use potent spells. But black magic corrupts the user's mind turning them towards the side of darkness. An example of a famous user is King Sombra, who used the powers to enslave the Crystal Empire." Said Luna
"I think I might have an idea." Everypony turned to Natasha. "I believe that Kozama was injecting the black magic in Xavier's left arm in hopes of fusing it with his Fabled Powers. I believe he knows that a Young's Fabled Powers run through his blood and protects the body as well as healing it. So when he injects the black magic, he's hoping that his Fabled Powers will absorb the black magic. I believe the lines are corruption on his Fabled Powers as the lines come from his mark. But that's just a theory."
"Can he still use his Fabled Powers?" Asked Twilight
"I'm not sure; we'll know when he wakes up." Said Natasha
Everypony turned to the still unconscious Xavier. They watched his chest would go up and down. They all wanted him to wake up, and they got their wish. They heard him groan as he began to move. Everypony gave him room as Xavier started to wake back up. They watched as his eyes slowly opened and instead of a milky white left eye, it was completely black with a red dot acting as a pupil.
Nopony moved as they didn't know what to do. They weren't even sure how Xavier would react to them. But Flame took the lead and began to make his way over to Xavier. Everypony held their breath as Flame moved slowly to Xavier. Xavier turned his head to look over at Flame with his dead look. Flame stopped as he looked into his brother's expressionless eyes.
"Xavier." Said Flame
Everypony watched as Xavier slowly reached his right arm and placed it on top of his brother's head. Celestia and Luna readied themselves just in case Xavier tried to attack, but he didn't. Instead, he began to scratch behind Flame's ears, his favorite spot. Flame began to purr like a house cat. Soon Xavier stopped and moved his hand away. He slowly pushed himself up and sat on his knees. He reached out both his hands and picked up his brother. Ponies continued to watch the whole thing with baited breath. The two looked at each other before Xavier pulled him close to him, and began to cry.
Flame wrapped his hands around his neck and began to cry as well.
"Flame," Said Xavier through his tears.
"It's ok brother; you're safe now. You're safe now." Said Flame
The two continue to cry before two more joined the hug. Xavier looked through his tear filled eyes to see Applejack and Twilight, on both sides of him. Tears streamed down their faces. They both began to nuzzle their muzzles up to his cheeks, soaking their fur in his tears.
"That's right partner; you're ok." Said Applejack
"You're finally safe and sound." Said Twilight
It didn't take long before the rest of Xavier's harem walked over and joined in on the hug. Tears were streaming from their faces as well. But that wasn't the end of it; Chi joined in as well as Fang. Cadance hugged her husband as he cried for the human. Celestia and Luna soon joined in on the hug as the medics left the room. Tears continued to spill as ponies wrapped Xavier in a warm blanket of fur and safety, telling him everything was ok. Sin just looked at the group hug, before turning her sits to the window. She watched as the landscape moved before her as the warships made their return trip to Equestria.
