> A Welcoming Smile > by arandomboi12 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Black Beast Arrival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pain. That's what Dean felt coursing through his body. There was aching in his chest, a throbbing in his head, and cold dense rain hit his head and cascaded down his head. All he remembered was him drawing a pink heart, along with several others but one thought came to his mind and repeated itself: Fear. Shaking himself from the wetness in which he felt kinda small, he feels something moving on his head. Confused, he reaches up and feels something. Something....squishy? Pulling his arm back, the feeling leaves and he gets a surprise. Floating next to him looked like a hand sized pink blob with a cartoony spiky smile and eyes. Then it hit him like a sack of bricks. “...Kumu?” The pink blob nodded as it nuzzles him in his shoulder. He then noticed that his voice had changed. It wasn’t his masculine and deep voice, instead it was child-like and innocent. He runs to a nearby puddle and sees his new body. He was the adorable ten year old with a blue jacket with barely noticeable pink outlines on both of his sleeves. His eyes were also now pink. His hair tips had pink on the edges that's about medium-length. He groaned and looked at Kumu. He pets the blob, resulting in a purring sound to emanate from him. He then looked around and saw nothing but trees. “Welp I guess this is the shit I get into for trying to have a normal life.” Suddenly Kumu shapeshifted into a pink dome and growled. Dean for one, was shocked about this but soon realized why Kumu was growling because a wolf jumped at the dome, but was met with a loud thump. Dean looked annoyed. “Kumu, if you can, turn into that soul spear thing. Maybe it has good magic to harvest.” Kumu then morphed into a spear which landed in his hand. The wolf lunged at him again, only for Dean to throw the spear at it. The wolf whimpered as at the end of the spear, was it’s soul. Dean then walked over and grabbed the soul as it’s magical essence was being sucked out of the soul. He then crushed it, resulting in the wolf to fall into sticks and branches. Dean then felt a rush in power as he then petted Kumu. “Good umm… boy?” He said he was confused as Kumu nodded and nuzzled him which resulted in Dean to ‘Aww’ over him. He then heard another rustle. In result, he turned around to see a mare with a black cloak over her and what seemed to be a horn on top of her head. Both of them stared blankly at each other for a brief amount of time until she scooped him up into a nuzzle and hug. Kumu was very confused. “Thou art adorable as thou art powerful!” She hugs him tightly as he squirmed trying to get out of her grasp. Kumu then tries to release Dean from her grip but to no avail. “Holy crap! For a woman that has not that much muscle mass, you sure can squeeze the crap out of someone.” His voice strained but she just ignored him. "We shalt be the greatest mother in all of Equestria!" “...Wut?” remember how Betty reacted to Papyrus for the first time? Yup. That's what his reaction was. He then looked into her eyes causing a tiny bit of information to slip into his mind. Her name was Luna. “Thou has no mother correct?” True. he did not have a mother ever since he was born. He shakes his head which resulted in her to squeal and hug him even tighter. She then cooed at him. "Then we shall take that title, call us mother!” Then giving logic the bird, extended his neck with a very familiar voice. “Nope.” She still ignored him as she held him tight and flew off... the only thing on his mind was: “Did I just get claimed by this mare?” Dean and Kumu somehow fell asleep during this whole transgression. They both found themselves in a black space and how Kumu is in his dreams? Well it's just a perk mostly since they need each other to live. As, if one of them dies, the other slowly dies due to the lack of magic and inability to collect souls without the other half. A soft laughter was heard in which Kumu formed into a dome to protect Dean. Min baby boy… “Kumu form into a scythe,” Kumu shapeshifted into a pink scythe “Luna what do you plan on doing?” Suddenly, Luna appeared in front of him and stared him down with loving eyes. “Oh yeah I got something to ask. Why did you adopt me knowing full darn well that I can jerk out the soul of a living being, doesn’t that scare you?” He asked as she then explained there has not been a fear trait in over thousands of years. She then said that Dean and her both can relate to striking fear into opponents. Although Luna knows of the trait, all information about the trait is unknown. All that is known is that it even rivaled the elements and both Celestia and her. “Still I’m not a child! I’m twenty two for god's sake!” He said as Kumu reforms to his original form. She then picked him up in a soft embrace and patted his head. Both Kumu and Dean started to feel tired as she cooed to him as he yawned. Kumu was the first to wake up, seeing Dean in a bed while he heard Luna talk outside of the room. Kumu floats over to the door and leans to hear more. "Sister I do not care if he is a child! He possesses a fear trait and shall be killed!" A voice said followed by multiple hoofsteps coming straight to the room. Kumu then floats over to Dean and shakes him awake, causing him to flutter his eyes. "Kumu? Whats up buddy?" Kumu looked towards the door and Dean heard the sounds of metal clinking and what seemed to be swords unsheathing. He sat up as Kumu turned into a scythe as numerous guards and one angry looking alicorn shot magic at him. It pierced his chest, only for the hole to shrink in size and sealed itself. "Huh well whaddya know do you know." Dean said surprised as Celestia looked in shocked. He now had a healing factor. > Rhabdophobia (yes i know it is short) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "IT'S A DEMON!" Celestia shouted as Dean smiled sadistically to strike fear into her. It worked as like a changeling that feeds off of love, he feeds on the fears of others and even his own to get stronger. A guard swung his sword and tried striking him, but for Dean to counter with a strike with the end of his scythe. The guard then tried to stab him, but Dean kicked the guard square in the face. Which in result, the guard was engulfed in green flames and revealed a black, littered with holes on the body, and with green eyes, and bug wings. "The hell is this buggery?" He said while it hissed at him. It came at him and clawed at him, but missed and he summoned his soul spear and threw it at the changeling. It pierced through the changeling's chest, which reveals their soul through the other end of the spear. Kumu then forms and chomps on the soul. All life in its eye's left entirely. It was dead. "Celestia" was just standing there shocked and angered. Kumu happily floats over to Dean and Dean petted the pink companion. "You're always hungry." Dean said happily as Kumu purred "Now then, give me the soul you ate. Papa needs the power." Kumu rolled its eyes and opened its mouth, revealing a dark green soul as Dean grabbed it and proceeded to suck the power out of the soul and the color drained out of it like a drain. He then crushed it and smiled evilly at the fake Celestia. "I'm pretty sure that you are not the real Celestia. Show yourself... Queen Chrysalis." She smirked. "What gave it away?" "Isn't it fuckin oblivious mate?" He said unamused. She then revealed her true form as his 'mother ' Luna came in and stepped in front of Dean. "Min son shall not be taken by thee!" She screamed as Dean smiled and hugged his mom. "Hey mom, she tried to kill me. But turns out, I'm on some Majin Buu shit." She smacked him upside the head. "Watch thy language!" She said as he nodded. One of the changeling's managed to cut off his arm and tentacles came out of his amputated arm and reformed into his arm. Skin, and clothing . His calm expression when he straight up grabbed the soul of the changeling and drained it and looked at Chrysalis with a crooked, spikey smile. "Touch me and perish." He said as she tried to blast him with magic, only for his pink eyes to shine as he then creates a negative pink area where he takes control of all her magic. Although enough to teleport away. "You're powerless. Now leave." She snarled at him and teleported. Luna hugged him tightly as he smiled. Kumu then slept on top of his head. Typical Kumu.
