[Abes]
I rushed through the corridors, my shadowy form blurring past royal guards. As I zoomed along, more and more of them were locked in combat with the changeling forces. I finally rematerialized in the hallway outside of Luna's room. The guard jumped in shock at seeing me.
<<Open the door.>> I growled at him, pawing at the offending obstacle.
"Uhh..."
I whirled to face him snout to snout, my rings giving off their own light. <<There is a fucking WAR happening right now. Open the FUCKING DOOR!!>>
The guard jumped, quickly unlocking the door and pushing it open. I rushed into the common room, noting that nothing had been disturbed. The guard closed the door behind me as I shadowported further into Luna's royal suite. <<Luna!>> I barked as I smashed through her bedroom door and saw...
Changelings.
Wall to wall changelings.
Most of them were looking at me. Those that weren't were powering some kind of spell they had trained on Luna.
I lowered my body with a growl. I pulled my energy through my skin and fur, causing it to take on a purplish sheen. <<Get away from her, you filth!>>
I felt a changeling land on my back and try to dig it's fangs into me. I felt no pain, but it quickly rolled off of me, retching and hissing. Another one slammed into my side, but it also quickly let me go as a patch of purplish energy seeped into it's chitin.
I ignored it and grabbed the edge of a rug in my mental power, ripping it out from under a small group of changelings. I threw it over them to distract them for a little bit as another changeling slammed into my side. This one stayed latched on until I pried it off with my telekinesis and threw it into the swarm.
A couple of changelings stopped it before it hit the ones keeping Luna out of the action. I pulled at my mana and formed a small ball of malevolent energy and threw it into the swarm. It exploded against a changeling, leaving a scorch mark against it's chitin. I began hurling the orbs as fast as I could form them. Another changeling latched onto me as I was about to hurl an orb at one of the spell 'lings, throwing my aim off. This one smashed into a wall, blowing chunks of masonry back into the bugs. The shrapnel just bounced off of their chitin, though.
I reared up and slammed the changeling on me against the wall. Another changeling rammed into my gut while I did so, knocking the wind out of me. The one that was on my back was knocked out by our combined weight mashing it into the wall. I quickly formed a ball, and launched it straight down into the 'ling in front of me, then grabbed it in my telekinesis and ground it across the floor, tripping another 'ling the was trying to rush me.
I quickly reformed my Baneful Bunker, glad that I had taken the time to try and learn it even if this was the first confirmation of my success.
The shredded remains of the rug was thrown at me, but I shadowported to the far side of the room. I formed another orb and fired it at the spell casters, trying to get them off of Luna. A changeling dove in front of it with it exploding on its chitin.
I made another ball, this one with some brighter purple highlights, and shot it at the spell casters. Like the other one, it was intercepted by a changeling. Unlike the other one, this one was absorbed into the 'ling's skin. I shadowported to another clear area to dodge another lunging 'ling.
I was rammed by another 'ling when I popped out of my shadow, this one getting a mouthful of poisonous fur. An acidic green bolt then blew out the back of it's head as my Confuse Ray did it's work. I saw another changeling randomly fall over and assumed that it was one of the ones that hit me at the start of all of this.
I saw another 'ling at the back of the swarm charging something on it's horn. I grabbed it in my mental hold and flung it out the nearest window. Ducking another bolt of mana, I fired another Shadow Ball into the swarm before shadowporting over to a table and knocking it over.
I grabbed a mirror with my telekinesis and used it to watch the swarm while I tried to catch my breath. Who knew pokemon battles could be so exhausting. I blindly threw an orb over the table. If only I could break the spell casters on Luna and wake her up, this fight would go so much faster... I growled as I saw a 'ling make for the broken window. Oh no you don't!
I dropped into my shadow, then burst out of it under the escaping 'ling. I heard something break against the top of the window frame.
I felt something grab me by my tail. The next thing I knew, I'm being thrown across the room into a wall. Before I could blink the stars from my eyes, I was whipped the other way and smashed through a window.
As I fell, I shook my head to clear it. Okay, there's glass in my back. Ow. I hope Conner can pull that out later. I twisted around to see how much farther I had to fall. ... Wait a minute... A black circle appeared in front of me. I fell into it, then shadowported back into Luna's room. I came out under a changeling and used the momentum of my fall to pin it against the ceiling.
I fell back down, firing another orb at the spell casters as I did so. I growled as it was once again intercepted. I felt something wet land on my back as I growled at the full room. I glanced up to see that I had impaled the luckless changeling on the chandelier.
Right. I need to have a bath after all of this. I reapplied my Baneful Bunker with a growl. And a long line of psychiatrists after that... I ran towards the spell casters, planning on just bulling my way through to them. A massive explosion from somewhere outside rocked the tower, causing me to lose my footing.
I slid into the bedframe. I tried to stand in a daze, but was forced back down under a pile of changelings. I bit and clawed at them until one lowered a glowing horn towards my face.
And then I knew no more...
