//------------------------------// // Chapter 90: A Impossible Reunion // Story: Griffon of Canterlot // by Electuroo //------------------------------// Griffon of Canterlot Chapter 90: A Impossible Reunion Gale's confusion faded into shock staring at the silver dragon. “H-how you know that?” Silvite put the photo into the vest of the plush, she than walked by Gale to stand by the edge of ruined car park structure as the rain whip by. “This is impossible...” Gale put the plushy back into the bag. “What impossible?” He stepped up behind her as she turn slightly to look at him. “The chances of us meeting can only be by design.” “Cause you know name and got sad?” Gale asked. Silvite groans. “You don't realise who I-” She shook her head. “-Nevernind, let's get back to my bunker north from here at the base of the mountain, it will be safer than out here and we may discover whoever behind this.” Silvite turn to Gale giving a dead serious look. Gale didn't like that look she gave, it reminded him of someone from the past memoires. “You got scary look that say we in big trouble.” “We are...” Her eyes slowly scanning around the area through the wind and rain. “The only possible way we meet like this, if someone or something made sure it happened through time.” “Time magic? If connected not good...” Silvite loaded her rifle with darts. “Most likely, you've experienced it?” Silvite asked as she raise the rifle to look through it scope. Gale stood beside the silver dragon. “Erm... Grogar want magic in me, he used transfiguration magic with artefacts to change glowy me to griffon me, but spell went crazy and memories with speak, sense and stuff when broken in my head, I slowly remembering parts of old life and learning speaking, and stuff. But keeping new.” Gale explained. “So you prefer Gale over Wayne?” He nodded. “Fair enough...” She took once last look around through the scope. “Whoever did this wanted us to be too emotional compromised to catch us off guard.” “Really?” “It would be something I would of thought of doing.” Silvite responded in a cryptic tone. “Thunderous keeping the local monsters at bay with his display of electrical blasts in the sky, we got a clear run to the mountain.” Silvite glance over to Gale. “Keep low and follow me, got it?” Gale frowned. “Only promise to tell how you know me, when we get to bunker place.” Silvite growled lowering the rifle turning around to Gale moving into a stance of annoyance. “We got no time for this! I-” Gale growled back. “Promise or no go!” “You know I can force you!” “Try!” Gale snarled. Silvite anger faded into a semi roar laugh. “Well someone gotten a back bone finally.” She knelt down to put with her claw hand out to him. “No shake, pinky promise, griffon ultimate promise of no break!” He raise his talon up with the pinky claw out. “Really now? Well that is serious, very well.” She closed her claw hand up with the pinky finger out, hooking it around his she made the promise. “I swear to tell you nothing but the bloody truth.” Gale smiled. “We can go!” Silvite got up onto her claw feet strapping the rifle back over her head and arm. “Keep close to me, if you can't keep up I will carry you, got me?” Gale nodded. “Got it!” Gale as she turn around leap onto her back between the wings wrapping his forelegs around the collar bone area, hind legs under the wing webbing attached to her body. Silvite glance from the corner of her eye at him. “Cheeky bloody griffon.” Gale grinned. “Fine...” She hook her arms over his legs grabbing the hind legs just above the paws. “Ready?” Gale nodded. With a push off from a claw foot she ran into the rain, running around ruined debris to leap over the some. Silvite looked to her left and right continuously as she ran towards the mountain that the ruins merged into, high above the dragon Thunderous appearing as a shadow in the lightning strikes keeping the creatures in the ruins hidden in fear. “We about to enter the opening, when we do Thunderous will see us.” Silvite left the cover of the ruins running up the slope of the mountain, water washing down it didn't heed her movement. “Damn it!” She slid to a stop and the mighty boom came with lightning dancing around in front of her, the titan blue black dragon land heavily on the ground in front of them. Thunderous eyes sparking with electrical energy growls as it display a threatening roar. “Get off me and hold my gear.” Gale slowly nod getting off her back, she took the bag off with the rifle giving it to him. “Thunderous I don't have time for this, get out of the way!” She growled at him. He growled back and stomped hard, wings flap a few times with lightning discharging from it, the tips of lightning dance around Silvite, she sighed. “Fine...” Her wings open. “I warned you, now your bloody tail going to get kicked.” Silvite open her wings and took off into the air, she threw the head back with whitish flames coming out of the maw. Silvite instantly launch her head downwards launching a huge white fireball right at him, Gale watched as steam came out from metres away from the fireball as it sailed through the air, the dragon quickly lost it intimating look and with a powerful flap took off with the fireball slamming into the ground below him. Gale covered his face from the bright blast that came, followed by pieces of molten rock shooting by him, some flying up high into the sky nearly hitting the titan dragon, Thunderous quickly turn tail and flew into the clouds fast as he could. “Coward.” Silvite snorted as the molten impact creator quickly cools from the heavy rain fall. “We can walk the rest Gale.” She lands onto her claw feet calmly taking her rifle and bag from him. “Come on Gale, it not far.” She causally walked around the creator up the mountain. Gale blinked a few times. “Y-yes Silvite!” He quickly said and followed her, the teenager stared at the cooling creator as he pasted it, the heat he felt before was from her. “White flame, super hot...” Silvite didn't look at him as they walked. “Best way the describe it colour and heat is a mix of chemical reactions in my body, the hotter the flame the bluer it should turn, but some reason my flame is white and hot as a hell, in fact my bloody body is the only thing that can resist it heat, everything not so lucky.” “Y-you erm...” “No never, surface burned some of those monstrous creatures and made my point clear to not mess with me.” Gale thought back with the clicking cat winged creature. “Blind cat no harm me cause you hold me?” “Correct, it was determining what or who I was, and most likely would of knew if it wasn't for Thunderous, he still doesn't get it through that thick skull to not attempt to attack me, yet he still does.” Silvite step up to a large rock among others around it, she lift up part of it pressing on keys, then the rock lift up to show a metal door below it. “My flame been pretty handy in making things though.” Gale watched her lift up a handle with a twist around and push it down, the door slid open. “Stairs?” He look down it to see a spiral metal stair case with a railing on the outer part of it. “Yes stairs, you really think I put a ladder in? No thanks.” She started to walk down the stairs. “Welcome to my home the Bunker.” Gale followed her down the stairs, he watched her open up a panel on the centre pillar, pressed a few keys on it, behind him to see the rock lowering and then the door close up with a clang. Gale turn around to look over the spiral stair case railings, he saw before his eyes a open field of grass and flowers, a waterfall near by, forests, crop fields and a lake. Above him was massive lights shining brightly with emitting heat from them. “Heat lamps and solar like lights?” “Yes.” Silvite answered as she walked down, Gale followed, the metal pillar was of three that attached to the ground and ceiling, many other strong rock formations all around that acted like pillars, the stairs turn to cross ways at point than circle around another, he saw the walls far reaching, one closer to them. “I used my flame and claws to dig this place out, made the lamps for sunlight and heat, grew crops and built my home.” “How long this take?” “It still a working progress and what you see so far... I say close to 500 years give it take.” “5-500 years!? You live that long!?” Gale squawked with surprise. Silvite chuckled. “As long as I remembered, before that I do not know, I was as feral as that rock head dragon Thunderous, something happened and I regained a sense of awareness, soon I wasn't as feral, the need for a horde faded and that history.” Silvite step off the ladder, with a tap of her claw foot on the ground, part of it rose up, she pulled out the darts from the rifle and put both away into it. With another tap of the claw foot the cabinet lowered into the ground. “Why so many weapons?” “It easier to use them depending on what part of Nowhere I go to, using my fire takes a fair amount out of me at times, today was a good day for me.” She walked down the red brick path towards the house. “Now I believe I had a promise to keep?” Silvite stopped turning around to face him. She noticed Gale wasn't paying attention watching a small bear like bee on a flower taking the pollen from it. “Bug bear?” Gale turn to her as it flies off. Silvite smirked. “It is, those tiny little buggers are a vital part of the Bunker.” She knelt down to him. “Now... I believe I had a promise to keep.” She repeated to him placing a claw hand on his shoulder. “How know name Wayne?” “I know more than the name, I know that dog is named Leela, I know there a tag on that plush and it says-” Gale eyes widen already hearing the dog's name. “To my beloved son, happy birthday Wayne.” She said with tears falling again. It hit Gale upon realising who this dragon was. “M-mum!? P-past mum!?” “Y-ack!” Gale leapt onto her giving a powerful hug nuzzling her chest with his head, she return the hug without a word said. Gale suddenly fell forwards after a few more seconds past to land with a thud, he found himself in a darken cavern with gems, gold, burned out cars, melted slaps of gold and metal. “Wh-what?” He looked around. “M-mum!?” He called out. He suddenly heard the sound of claws against the gold and gems, they falling from the shift of weight, he turning around to meet a set of purple glowing eyes, a armoured claw hand glowing with the same colour, a staff with a glowing purple symbol on it, one also over the head of the clothed wingless dragon, it tail tip lightning shape but sharp too. “Your mum of the life past isn't here.” The dragon spoke with a very heavy English accent. “Wh-what did you do to my mum!” Gale growled. He stood calmly looking at Gale. “Simple I restored the moment she wasn't at the heart of the collider explosion, I changed it so she was and would regain her sense of self, here she never did.” He point the staff to a massive silver feral dragon sleeping near by on top of the horde. “That is your mum, a mindless beast.” Gale stared in horror. “Ti-time magic! You use time magic!” “Of course, now as servant of Master Grogar I will restore her to Silvite you just got to know if you give up your magic freely to me to giv-” Gale was already upon him placing the talon against his neck squeezing it. The dragon couldn't break the grip, he drop the staff gasping for air. “H-” “Grogar what magic!? He made you so he get my magic, cause pain! Cause harm! Cause lose of mum of past again!?” “Y-yes I was c-created...” He whizzed. “From your memories-” He chocked. “I am the Death Dragon serv-” Gale's talon glowing, he felt the energy come from it into him, the eyes showed red, they glowed darkly. “No talk.” He growls. “No more talk, you die than he die!” Gale unleashed all his magic into the Death Dragon. The dragon eyes snap open as he sit cross legged by the waterfall in the Bunker, he gasped with fear, terrifying fear. “M-Master Grogar...” He turn to the goat eye orb, it eye widen to show Grogar on it. “Anubis...” “I failed to acquire the magic for you, I’ve changed time without altering time outside Nowhere and the collider explosion resulting in the Pure Magic existence, I been planning this for 21,829 years to get to this point...” “And you found that this attempt through time without alerting that tree and it Avatar is impossible.” “Yes... Master... I did what the mountain that fell did to the child, I allow his mum to be self-aware and remember parts of her past like he has, she will soon enter the Bunker with him and tell him the truth.” “Hmm... At least you tried.” Grogar said. “So you brought back his mum in a form of what exactly?” “A silver dragon master... I also may have integrated myself into Equestria too... I am kinda a god... The god of the dead...” “And?” “And I may have a daughter and son...” “I see... So you went beyond what I created you to do...” “I-” “Good, that will work.” “Master?” “I want you to revile yourself to them, tell them you are the reason for it and that you originally created to work for me, you gained a conscious and couldn't go through with it after you had children of your own.” Grogar grinned. “Tell them you can get the griffon home to Equestria and bring this Bunker with you.” “Master that would mean his current mum with meet his mum from th-” Anubis glowing purple eyes widen a little. “I see where you are going with this master, it a excellent plan!” Grogar laughed. “Of course it is, I believe now that the events to take place on this island soon will be playing a part in all this, for me it be moments, but for you it be days, weeks, months or even years away. You have done me well Anubis, your award is a life to live, be the dragons god of the dead, be what you create for yourself.” Anubis bow his head. “I will master.” “I know now what I need to get from the blue box if I fail to acquire the pure magic when the Past an Future meets, for that you have done me well.” The orb image turn back into a goat eye, Anubis pick it up putting into one of his side pocket bags, his gaze turn to the three metal pillars, the stairs and walkways, it opened and stepping down were his targets. “Now to play nice to these foolish creatures, and do my part for Master Grogar.” Anubis chuckled. “How know name Wayne?” “I know more than the name, I know that dog is named Leela, I know there a tag on that plush and it says-” Gale eyes widen already hearing the dog's name. “To my beloved son, happy birthday Wayne.” She said with tears falling again. It hit Gale upon realising who this dragon was. “M-mum!? P-past mum!?” “Y-ack!” Gale leapt onto her giving a powerful hug nuzzling her chest with his head, she return the hug without a word said. What seem forever soon came to the end of the claw tip step sound approaching and getting louder, Silvite slowly let go of Gale, she gave him a slight look and he also eased his hug a bit. Silvite quickly get up, and twist around throwing a punch hit a armour plate on top of the face of a clothed wingless dragon. He stumbled back holding the cracked mask pulling it off with his armoured claw hand with purple black magical energy flowing around it, the wingless dragon wearing armoured trousers that also covered the backs of his clawed feet, tunic chest plate with bocky shoulder pads stared at the ruined head plate. “Hmm... That was deserved.” He said calmly tossing it to the ground breaking to pieces. “Who are you, how did you get in here and are you behind this!?” Silvite growled with white flames appearing around the inners of her mouth. “Before you bloody burn me alive, let me talk.” He raise the clawed hand up calmly while holding a staff with the other, at the top of it was a two headed dragon meeting at the tip curving around with a purple black glowing symbol in the middle of it, he armoured tail with a purple semi glowing blade like tail swaying back and forwards. Silvite put herself in front of Gale, the teenager peered just to the side of her leg looking at him too. “Speak!” She snarled at him. “I-” “Anubis!” Gale sharply spoke out pointing at him. Silvite turn and look down at Gale. “As in the Egyptian god of the dead Anubis?” “It seem I am know.” Anubis gaze fell upon to Gale. “Not a surprise since I was created by the memories of the child by Grogar.” He said. “I am a Death Dragon, the dragons god of the dead by respect of name sake, as for the other questions...” Silvite turn her head and eyes back to Anubis. He raised the staff for it to glow creating a purple flame ring expanding to show a different cavern to the one they in through it. “I was created and given magic by Grogar to traverse through time, make changes that were minor and undetectable so I can acquire the magic from the child.” Gale groans. “Those that chase power, fail...” “Indeed...” Anubis replied. “As for this, it what you should have been right this moment Silvite.” Silvite and Gale stared at a massive silver dragon sound asleep on a pile of gold and gems. “I made sure you manually activated the Collider to overload, I made sure you got struck by Thunderous in the side of the head at this point.” He walked up to her. Silvite snarled. “I am just going to poke that spot, not do anything else.” She allowed him, the armoured finger tip press on her head just behind the ear close to the horn. “That strike perfectly timed caused your synapses to fire, shaking you out of your greed, making you the dragon you are today from 513 years, two months, 1 week and 3 days ago.” He moved the finger away and took a few steps back. Silvite move her claw hand over it to feel the scar she had hidden there. “You made sure Gale got the phoenix egg too...” “Yes, but it was suppose to weaken him upon hatching... But I discovered through every possible point to this moment it never happened, Gale gave him a magical core, that why he isn't maturing and why he so... innocent...” Anubis eyes fell upon the bag seeing the chick sleeping soundly in it. “I am getting a sense this chit-chat isn't one of your plans.” Silvite crossed her arms glaring at him. Anubis put his staff down against a tree, he picked up a flower with the armoured claw hand that wasn't glowing, he twist the flower around, his glowing eyes gazing upon it. “No it wasn't, the plan took 21,829 years, 7 months, 1 week and 2 days for this moment to happen, the plan was to restore you to that you see through the ring there.” He wave the purple glowing armoured hand around for it to fade away. “That a lot of time...” Gale said with surprise. “Indeed, during that time I-I became the god of the dead for the dragons of Equestria... And I...” He eyes water with tears running down his muzzle. “Became a father to two dragons, one a young teen and the other is close to becoming adult.” “This better work.” He thought quietly in hope to sway them. Silvite frowned. “Hmm... So started to doubt this Grogar?” “Yes... I couldn't go through it the plan to acquire the magic from the griffon...” Gale stepped up to him holding out his plush. “Maybe you no like cause part of me in you?” Anubis took the plush looking at it and past it to Gale. “I-I never thought of that...” He gave the plush back to Gale. “He good, he gave plush back.” “And that means?” Silvite raise a eye. Gale smiled. “He gave plush, it mean ultimate trust between us, he and you may feel strange feeling after giving plush back?” Anubis and Silvite looked at each other. “Some sort of magical acceptance of trust? How does a plush do that?” “Anubis, you are the time magic wiz, can't you figure that out?” “No...” Anubis looked at his armoured claw hands, a strong pull came to him about betraying that trust he gained from Gale, one that was worst than death or even betraying his master. “This could be problematic...” Silvite snorted out white flames from her nostrils. “How many more of these freaks Grogar created?” “There are seven monsters that remain, each given a unquie abilities and tasks to collect the pure magic for Grogar.” He took the scroll from the side of the leg giving it to her. “This is the list of said monsters.” She opened it up looking at the sketches and writing. “Well, it seem I got some hunting to do.” She closed it up putting it away into her bag. “I gather you can zip in and out of Nowhere?” “I do... But-” “I already hate where this is going... Come back to my home and let's hear the doom result return trip for more than uno.” She push by him walking down the red brick path to the house. Gale steppe up beside Anubis as he picked up the staff. “Thank you for giving back mum from past.” He smiled cheerfully to Anubis before taking off into the air flying after the silver dragon. Anubis watched them go, he reached into the bag looking at the orb. “Problematic indeed...” He put it away walking after them unaware being watched through it, the goat eye orb cracked in his bag. Grogar stared at the goat eye orb, Zerra stepped up to him. “Master, is everything going to plan?” “More or less...” Grogar got up walking away from the orb. “I want Anubis taken care of, I got a feeling he going to be a problem now, even he is going to fulfil my orders... that griffon, that child has a way of getting to you, specially those I created from within his mind...” “Yes master, what should I do?” “It time for Thunderous to earn his keep, it time for he to get his revenge on Silvite, that way he can take care of Anubis as well.” “Master the griffon with her!” “I know.” “Bu-but what if he kills the griffon!?” “That is why you are going there and keeping that thundering beast in line.” “WHAT!?” “Did I stutter?” Grogar turn around glaring at the zebra who shaking in fear. The zebra shook his head rapidly. “N-no no you did not, bu-” “No buts, do as I say.” Grogar toss a bag over to him. “This will allow you to enter and leave Nowhere, upon Thunderous defeat or victory return to me if you are still alive that is.” Grogar leaves the room. Zerra holding the bag with one hoof stared at the door way now empty. “I-I do as you wish master...” He pulled out a small black ball with a hoof, tossing it at the wall, a portal opens up and he step through it into a large cavern with electrical energy dancing around. The large blue and black dragon emerges. “IS IT TIME, IS IT TIME FOR REVENGE?” His voice boomed to the zebra. “Yes is it, but with one condition, the griffon is not to be harmed.” The large dragon grinned with sparks of lightning discharging. “PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.”
