War of the Dragon Gods!!
Chapter 7
Previous Chapter Next ChapterDraco's POV
Me and the leader of the Knights of Justice, Cinder, and the princesses, were looking over a map of Equestria after we got back from DIllan's world, we were inside a military tent Cinder and the other Knights had set up while I was gone. Cinder was showing us the location of attacks done by Lucy, Ponyville being the first one. "Alright, we have groups of Knights in every pony settlement that can't defend itself. Each group consists of a total of five members, two teen dragons, one griffon and pony of any race, and a you-know-what." Cinder said, the princesses just looked at her confused.
"We have stealth class Knights in our ranks, if we were to give up their races identity, it could cause trouble." I said, the two sisters nodded in understanding.
"So, are these Knights capable of handling Reshiram? Or at least buy us some time to get to them?" Luna asked,
"Well, back then it usually took around 50 Knights just to fight her and defend a town. But our numbers have decreased drastically over the years. Some don't remember the name Knights of Justice, or will not answer the call." Cinder said, "Our numbers now are that of a good one hundred, maybe less."
"I was afraid you would say that, and why won't they answer the call?" i asked,
"Who knows? I think it is cowardice." Cinder said, a puff of smoke escaping her nostrils, I just sighed.
"Whatever the case may be, we still have to worry about the Followers of Destruction, in case you are wondering princesses, they are a cult dedicated to Lucy, after you failed to stop her, they believed her to be a true god that came to bring everyone to Valhalla, and started to follow her instead of you two. And they kill everyone that survive an attack done by her, believing they were chosen to die. Lucy doesn't care for them, but I do, me and the Knights went to their lair and tried to reason with them, but they tried to attack us and we had no choice but to kill them and destroy everything about them." I said, explaining the origins of the Followers of Destruction.
Both princesses had looks of disgust and horror. "How come we have not noticed them before?!" Celestia asked, to which Cinder replied,
"You couldn't, they were very careful to make the murders look like they were done by Reshiram. Our ancestors even had a hard time locating them. They got lucky when one of their members were discovered and followed."
"And if the descendants of the Knights are here, then we can be sure that the Followers might have had some survivors that we must have missed. Which means we are going to need allies for an oncoming battle, if we are lucky." I said the last part to myself, not wanting the princesses to hear, I knew the Followers of Destruction would do anything to please Reshiram, and I mean anything, that includes killing kids. I growled at the memory, I've always hated the Followers.
"Are you alright Draco?" I heard Luna ask, I nodded my head, with a sigh.
"Yeah, just a personal grudge, I've never been a fan of the Followers. The thought of them still being around," the princesses heard my growl of anger as they flinched, "I pray that they haven't survived."
We just stood there in a tense silence, before Cinder broke the silence, "Yeah, let's hope they aren't around,on another note, we are spreading word about our order and are currently taking in recruits, we have a camp not too far from here that hidden from all eyes."
"That is good to hear. We may be able to send some troops as well, we will also send word to Cadance to send troops as well." Luna said, I shook my head.
"No, tell her to prepare that place for survivors of attacks and wounded, Lucy is a Dragon/Fire type, and Dragon types are easily defeated against Ice types, so she might will avoid that area at all costs, so tell her to keep that place prepared." I said, causing the two princesses to nod. "Is there anything else we need to discuss?" the others shook their heads, I nodded, I then began to walk out, "Good, now if you excuse me, I need to get used to this watch on my arm." once I got out, I proceeded to fly away, looking at the only transformation I have, the Kyurem/Charizard hybrid, still needed a name for it, but for now, I need to get used to this form as it could be useful against Lucy, once I made it to a clearing, I transformed into my hybrid form, feeling my wings turn to solid yet moveable ice, along with other parts of my body. I did a few stretches before I began my training, then I began to work on the flying part of my hybrid form.
"Okay, the wings last time didn't last for very long due to them being only meant for short distance flight, so gotta work on that." I said, climbing up a small cliff, "And I may need the wings in order to be on even ground with Lucy."Ok, this looks to be a good enough height, not too close to the ground for me to crash instantly, but not to high for me to get seriously hurt if my wings give out. "ok, flight test 1, ready." I spread out my wings, "GO!" I jumped and immediately began to fly, well glide more like it, because everytime I flap my wings I would feel slight pain, further proving that these wings are made for gliding than flying. Landing, well more like crashing into the ground, I got up and decided that flying would be a no go. So I decided to work on my other abilities.
I focused on my new attack and a beam of ice came out out, turning a tree into solid ice. "Alright, that is Ice Beam for sure, let's see if I have any other attacks." I used a different attack, this time it was a blue fire that burned and freezed things at the same time. "I think I'll call that one, Moeru kōri." after two hours, I had discovered different attacks and limits. one of these attacks was Ice Blade, which allows me to turn my arms into blades of ice, and my tail can cut through solid rock, and one of limits is the temperature of the area, if it is too hot then my attacks will be weakened, but if it is too cold then my attacks will do a lot more damage.
As I changed back, I heard some movement behind me, I looked and saw a Machamp walking by. I decided to scan him cause I may need some Fighting type DNA, a virtual Pokeball appeared and touched the Machamp as a virtual version of itself went inside it and the Pokeball returned into the Poketrix. Nodding my head, I flew back to Ponyville, and as I flew, I saw different Pokemon living in the Everfree, seeming content with the environment despite what the ponies say. Seeing Ponyville, I noticed the large amount of tents and such on the outskirts of town, flying towards them, I saw they were filled with Knights of Justice, maybe a few recruits as well. Landing, I saw Cinder and Luna walking towards me.
"We were wondering when you would show up, as you can see, many descendants of the Knights came here. So far there is only 15 or so here, the rest are doing what they were told and guarding towns and cities. But thanks to the Princesses, we are slowly taking in recruits to add to our ranks."
"Good, I'm glad there is at least some beings out there to aid us." I said,
"We even had a special tent made for you." Luna said, pointing at a large tent with her wing. I nodded then yawned, "And it looks like you could use some sleep."
"Guess so, we'll look for Lucy after I get some rest. I've been training nonstop." I said, walking to the tent.
"We understand, goodnight great Dragon God." Luna said giggling. i just snorted but smiled. Entering my tent I saw it had stone bed with a little bit of hay on it, a table with a map of Equus, and a chest that was really old, but I remembered what was inside it. I walked to the bed and used a little bit of fire to burn the hay then layed down, feeling warn and comfortable. Then I went to sleep.
