Chapter 6:
Rescue: Part 2
As I walked into view of the wasted stallions, the blood and brain matter from the dead stallion covered my right hoof and part of my face. I was smirking with delight as I raised my hoof to my mouth and slowly began to lick the blood clean off. Discord began to follow suit in after his slithered down my neck and around my forearm, and began to help in the clean-up my little mess.
After my hoof was clean, I began to move forward again. One of the stallions began to charge at me, well what I thought was at me, he was still swaying side to side. He held a wooden plank in his hooves, which meant he was standing on his hind legs, which made it even more difficult to run. When he reached me he swung at me with all he could, but in a flash Discord's lion paw blocked and shattered the wooden plank.
Discord grabbed the stallion by the face and dragged him along as we moved closer to the others, "You really shouldn't have tried to do that." Discord's voice had a deep overlay to his normal voice as he spoke to the stallion his grasps.
"Please let me go!" The drunk was now sober enough to think rationally.
"As you wish."
He was sent flying through the air into a dumpster head first, knock unconscious, but not dead, well at least not yet. The next two weren't sober yet, so they tried to attack my sides but I snapped my wings open. Close lining the both of them.
"You guys are no fun," Discord said pouting and crossing his arms.
I remand silent, never opened my mouth to speak, not even once. Even though I little control of my own action, the goal remained the same; rescue Vinyl and Octavia.
Discord looked down to me, and I looked up to him. We had a mutual understanding that we they weren't even in our league. So we shouldn't waste out time here. Discord lifted all the stallions up with his Periculum, his golden yellow energy encased around there bodies. He placed directly in my sight's facing the exit of the ally way.
"Would like to do the honors Draco?" Discord asked.
I simply smirked and inhaled deeply, allowing my Draconic insides to the work. And with that exhale a blaze of black and red fire on the remain stallions. They screamed and howled in agony and pain as the fire consumed them. After a few seconds I closed my muzzle cutting the flames off, and Discord released the burning corpse as they fell limp and unmoving to the ground. They were gone, and never to be heard from again.
Not seconds after the fire in the ally way had receded had a sharp pain jetted through our heads. I fell back onto my haunches as my hooves rushed to the sides of my head in pain. Discord had done the same our bodies thrashed around as we heard a voice...
"Your bodies is too weak to handle the power you have awoken. I have rested dormant in you for this long I can wait just a little bit long," the voice said mockingly. "You have used to much energy far to soon and far to quickly. But don't you fret little Draco, our time to rule this Kingdom will come."
The voice faded into nothing, yet we still thrashed around as our bodies changed. Discord shrunk down in size; his beard fell off his chin and his snow white hair returned to it rightful place atop his head. His antler and unicorn horn got changed back to a shorter length as well. He collapsed with his lower body still collided around my torso.
My change was more drastic and pain full. My body contorted, limbs snapped into a position, skin and torn off as new skin replaced it. Bones shrunk and grew, moved location inside my body. My horn reversed itself into my skull causing me to scream in pain. At the end of it all, I was human again, the first change was practicably painless. This one was different, it was more painful because it was a forced transformation.
Vinyl, Octavia, Discord, and myself laid there in that ally way for what seemed like an eternity; it had only been an hour. My body was still in a great deal of pain but I had to force my self up, I knew what I had done but it was still like a blur. I pulled myself up off the ground and limped over to Vinyl and Octavia. I inspected myself on along the way, I was covered in my own blood from the forced transformation.
I looked back up to Vinyl and Octavia, "V-V-Vinyl. . .Oc-tavia," I stumbled and fell to my knees, "I..." ...cough...splatter... I looked down to see I had coughed up some dark red blood.
I was in pretty bad shape, but I had reached Vinyl and Octavia. I pulled Discord's upper body up from dragging across the ground and pulled Vinyl and Octavia into my embrace. I had to get them some help, we were all losing blood and losing it fast.
I forced my wings out of my spine, screaming in pain by the amount of the energy it was taking, energy that I didn't have. I lifted them all and began to flap my wings as best I could. I went as fast as my broken and weakened body would allow. I closed in on the castle, my wings failing me even more then before.
"Tia..." Was the last thing I said as my wings just retracted.
I lost my grip on the mares and the Draconequs. We went crashing in through one of the windows of the castle. Luckily it was Celestia's bed chamber window. Celestia shot up as he heard the glass break, time slowed for here she saw myself, Vinyl, Octavia, and Discord come in.
"Tia...help..." Was all I could get as we flew the window. We skid across the floor and came to a halt, blood in our wake. Celestia jumped out of her bed and galloped over to our bodies.
"GUARDS!! GET HELP!!!" Celestia shouted in the Royal Canterlot Voice. Something she hasn't done in years.
