Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 91: The Thundering Titan Attacks
Silvite walked towards her home with Anubis and Gale, as they got closer to it the building looked rather strange to the teenager, it wasn't one big building up many sphere shape structures supported by cylider pillars, each having a door and walk way between them, some with windows as well and a balcony on a few.
All connected to a massive one in the middle, with some wall ways being stair cases. “Sphere buildings?” Two of the lower ones connected to the ground with a set of stairs.
“Yes, I kinda wanted a home that stood out, I like it round.” Silvite smirked standing proud. “When you live alone you've need something to occupy the mind, this was one of them.”
Anubis took a good look at the structure. “Interesting design.”
“Your just saying it, you already knew what it looked like.” Silvite turn around at him snarling a little.
“True, but seeing it with my own eyes and not via through a rift is two different things.” Anubis calmly responded, but the calm changed he quickly turn around looking right up at the ceiling.
Silvite saw his sudden turn, now looking up at the ceiling herself covering her eyes from the brightness of the large ceiling lamps. “What is it?”
“Thunderous...” He raise the staff firing a blast of purple magic at the ceiling, it spread out across the ceiling.
Gale watched the magic wash over. “What you do?”
“Shield spell with strengthening the ceiling with hope it holds the impact.”
Silvite lower her claw hand turning to Anubis. “What im-” A large heavy boom came from above, the shield flash with the lights swinging wildly. “Thunderous?”
Anubis nodded. “I saw it coming by only seconds...” He continue to stare at the ceiling. “The faraday netting you have through out the ceiling to block electrical discharges, if he continue to smash into the ground it will break and when it does-”
“He'll breach the ceiling...” Silvite growled. “In all these years he never been this bold! Why now!?” She turn to Anubis. “Anubis! You saw the attack coming even it was close! Tell me what changed!”
Anubis holding his staff up trying to hold the shield up. “Revenge, he wants revenge and been holding back because-”
“Because WHAT!?” She shouted at him.
“He a servant of... Grogar, and only now his been unleashed to seek his revenge upon you.” Anubis turn to Silvite. “All the pent up rage is being unleashed, prepare for a fight and I will asst.”
“Gr-Grogar!?” Anubis nodded
Silvite pulled her bag off tossing it to Gale. “Get to my house and keep in cover, things about to get ugly, only way he get to you is through me.”
Gale nodded. “Okay, I go! Be safe please!” He quickly opened his wings taking off to the multiple spheres structure.
Silvite crack her knuckles, clicked her neck muscles, rolling her shoulders. “Should be saying that to the titan that about to come crashing down through cavern ceiling any moment.” Silvite flexed her wings and snorted out some white flames. “Anubis cut the shield spell on my call.”
He frowned. “Your serious?!
“I am, you be needing that magic of yours to deal with Thunderous, or would you rather be out of juice and let him blast you around like a bloody rag doll?” Silvite gave him the only two choices he had for use of his magic that cast the shield over the ceiling.
Anubis hums quietly. “Any option ends with him smashing through...” The ceiling cracked from another heavy impact with the shield shimming.
Gale quickly landed at the steps opening the door with a slight push of the talon. “I inside!” He called out, closing the door just enough to look outside through a tiny gap.
Silvite gave a thumb up to him knowing he most likely watching and turn to Anubis. “Drop the shield!”
Anubis lower his staff releasing the spell, the purple shield fades over the ceiling, soon as he does a massive impact followed by the ceiling near the stair case with the three metal pillars collapsed, the pillars gave way from the raining down rock and metal.
They watched the stairs go with it and rain wash down through the massive hole, the heat lamps going out one by one with sparks of electrical overloading discharges, back up lighting kicking in. Slowly descending into the cavern Thunderous looked directly at them. “Anubis is vulnerable, destroy him.” Zerra point his hoof from on top of the titan dragon head.
Thunderous grinned. “DEATH DRAGON DIE!” He roared unleashing a huge electrical ball of energy from his month at Anubis.
Anubis saw it coming at him but he froze in place, he never saw the attack coming in any foresight, Silvite grabbed him as it hit the ground he stood at, the blast caused huge discharge of electrical energy to fly. “What the bloody hell are you doing!? Are you trying to get fried!?”
“I saw him attack... But I never saw it coming before it came...” Anubis responded.
“I never had access to looking at time, possible events and crap! You buck up and live in the moment you stupid dragon!” Silvite grabbed him by the arm and lifted Anubis to his clawed feet. “Now show me what a Death Dragon can do!”
Anubis saw another coming at them, he raise the staff to fire a blast out of it, the two hit with a blast wave of energy unleashed. “I will not freeze up again you bloody overgrown lizard!” Anubis growled.
“If it wasn't for your little mess of a dragon beside you, it would of worked.” They both saw a zebra jump down and land beside Thunderous large foreclaw. “Now let's make this easy on my big friend here, and let him end you sweet and quick, I got a griffon to take back to Master Grogar.”
Anubis growled. “I-”
“Yeah yeah you did as he asked to the point you became a total wimp and failure.” Zerra waved his hoof dismissively to Anubis. “The master sees all that were created through the mind of the cub as unreliable assist, other words you are broken goods and we throw away broken goods.”
Anubis unleashed a blast of magic at him, only have a wing come down and deflect it. “I am Anubis the Death Dragon, the bloody god of the dead! I served and this is the thanks I get!? I will not serve that goat! I will crush you and than him!”
“Blah blah blah, you are boring me old timer, Thunderous crush them both.”
“REVENGE!” He roared and charge right at them.
Zerra saw the structure. “And I will deal with picking up my master's prize.”
Anubis jump out of the way of a string of lightning blasts coming off Thunderous, Silvite flew around them, the blasts hitting rock, ground, grass, trees and ceiling causing massive explosions that ripped them apart. Pieces of ceiling raindown with the large lamps causing fires to break out, the waterfall blasted to pieces too, Silvite saw how much damage the titan did in such little effort.
“For over 500 years that beast been holding back, I knew it.” She grinned with fury in her eyes. “Oh I am sooo going to enjoy being the stuffing out of this prick!” Silvite flew right at him dodging the lightning blasts thrown her way, she dives under his field of vision to get a heavy punch from under his snout causing Thunderous to roar in pain.
He stumble back shaking his head growling at her to get a beam of purplish magic slamming into the side of his head, the beam result caused the titan dragon to tumble down with a heavy thud. “I am up for a good fight myself, no more nice dragon.” He twirling the staff around from one claw hand to the other.
Thunderous got up. “I CRUSH! I REVENGE!” Fires now burn around him as more large lighting lamps crash down with huge fireballs erupting from it.
Silvite glanced at the Death Dragon. “Once we take care of Thunderous, you are going to squawk.”
“Crystal...” He snarled. “I am not doing this for you or Gale, I am doing this now for my family.” He clinched his claw hand tightly around the staff. “This has turned personal!” He release a burst of magical energy at Thunderous.
The titan block it with a electrified wing in front of him, lowering it Thunderous unleashed a blast of lightning at them from his maw, Silvite took to the air again dodging the lightning and Anubis shielding himself from it
Gale watched the land get shredded to pieces by the piecing blasts of lightning, more of the ceiling coming down with more rain and water falling into the cavern. Anubis and Silvite engaging Thunderous again, they getting hit by the foreclaw of the titan, but they didn't let up it was a full blown dragon fight with special dragon powers followed by Death Dragon magic.
“You safe, Shadow.” Gale peer down into the saddle bag seeing the little black phoenix chick shivering, and squawk in alarm from the explosion impacts from the dragons fighting, more of Silvite's underground home being wrecked and destroyed by the battle. “Silvite home, mum of past home being destroyed... Grogar bad, Grogar no care for me, you or anyone but himself and power...”
The chick didn't understand what he just said, but Shadow the recent hatched black phoenix chick felt the distress from his parent, he could see the flashed of light and that when the shadow of a new figure appear on the ceiling. He started to squawk in alarm as the sense of fear over came the chick upon seeing the shadow, it felt dark and cold and Shadow hated the sense of feeling washed over him.
Gale saw the rapid distress from the chick, he looked up at what Shadow was squawking at to see the shadow of a pony shape. He quickly turn as a blast of lightning lit up the pony shape to see it was Zerra walking towards him, Gale couldn't quite hear or see who was with the titan dragon but now the zebra was clearly seen before his eyes. “Ze-Zerra...”
“Hello cub, we meet again, no wish magic this time.” He grinned pulling out a small crystal from the pouch holding it around his fore hoof. “Now... No time to waste, Master Grogar awaits.”
Gale started to snarl with his back part of the beak raising up showing his bearing teeth. “Inverse Reality destroyed cause of him!?”
Zerra chuckled. “Yes and now those dragons will be crushed by Thunderous.” He glanced over to the battle. “They have no idea. But he got a lot of pent up rage.”
“You made Inverse Reality, reality of wish magic go bye bye, now you do again with mum of past!?”
“Yes and you ca-URG!” Zerra felt three sharp objects slash right across and over his left eye, dropping he crystal the zebra step back holding it with a hoof. He slowly moved it to see blood on the black hoof. “You li-GAH!” Gale spin around to kick him across the right side of the head with the right hindpaw sending him flying to the ground rolling around.
Zerra quickly got up looking at Gale with shock from his right eye as the left is closed with blood dripping down the side of his face, all he saw was predorary rage through Gale's eyes. “YOU MONSTER YOU GO BYB BYE! NO TALK!” Gale roared out with a burst of magic erupting from him. “YOU AND GROGAR EVIL! NO REGUARDS TO LIFE! LIFE MEAN MORE! LIFE IS LIFE AND SO IS FAMILY! I PROTECT FAMILY!”
Zerra started to shake with fear as the whitish blue magic around Gale coming to go till it sudden turn into a massive whitish blue griffon standing directly over Gale it solid translucent eyes of it translucent glowing form now bear down on him. “Oh buck! I am out of here! Thunderous is on his own!” Zerra grab a black orb from his bag smashing it down below him to form a portal that he fell into and it closed.
Gale squawked argerily seeing the zebra had fled, but he drew his attention on the titan dragon now having the upper hand on Silvite and Anubis. Gale had a target to use all this explosive release of magic he had. “Thunderous...”
Silvite unleashed white fireball after white fireball hitting the scales of the titan dragon, he roared out in pain and unleashed more electrical blasts at her, she dodged a few to get hit by some sending her flying into the ground. “Damn! My fire should of burned right through him!”
Anubis pushed Thunderous back with a beam blast into the ceiling causing the titan to smash down onto the ground with debris falling on top of him. “The fact you are burning his scales is impressive enough.”
“Any why is that impressive!?” She clenched a fist at him.
“You do know that dragon scales, eyes and ears are fire proof? In fact you never had a lava dip?” He calmly said looking back at her.
Silvite blinked. “What!? You are serious telling me I can sit in lava!?”
“Yes.”
“REVENGE IS MINE! SILVITE DIE!” The titan dragon burst out of the debris snarling at them and unleashed another blast of lightning at them, they got blasted back.
Silvite quickly recovered. “We talk about what I didn't know dragons could do later!” She took off flying around more lightning discharges to punch him across the face and drop kick on top of the muzzle.
Anubis unleash purple blasts of magic one after the other at Thunderous. “Very well I shall.” Anubis shielded himself from some of the lightning.
Silvite got knocked to the ground to get a foreclaw coming down right on her left wing and arm, she roared out in pain and unleashed a breath of white flames at his side of the face, the titan showed a massive burn on his scales but only snarled as he prepared to finish her.
Anubis charge in jumping at him to unleash a beam of magic to get grabbed by the other foreclaw, then he thrown into the ground hard with the staff shattering and exploding with magic being bleed out, the Death Dragon stared up near Silvite seeing they were beat. “I would say we done for, but we not.”
Silvite punching the foreclaw on her left arm and wing. “How can you say that!? We about to get electricity to death!”
Anubis turn his head to the whitish blue glowing griffon form towering over Thunderous. “Look to his right.”
Silvite did and saw the translucent griffon. “What the-”
Anubis intrupted her. “Just as what would of happened to me many times Thunderous about to get the taste of the 1000 times charged pure magic thanks to this reality.” He laughed.
“You knew!?”
“Yes, bu-”
“Why didn't you tell me!?” Silvite snarled
“Cause he had to snap.” Anubis answered. “He snapped each time cause of you at me and now he snapped cause of the zebra.” He laughed.
“Bloody asshole of a dragon.”
“That I am.”
Thunderous grinned not aware of the translucent whitish blue griffon towering over him from behind. “REVENGE IS MINE!” He prepared to unleash lightning on the two dragons below him.
Suddenly the glow reached the corner of his eyes, slowly turning his head looking up at the translucent griffon, it beak open with a powerful glow coming from it, the titan let go of Silvite turning around to face the titan translucent griffon, he unleashed the lightning breath at the griffon to have a powerful blast of whitish blue magic come out of the beak to slice through it.
Thunderous let out a mighty roar as the beam of magic engulfed him, the beam also covered Silvite and Anubis, they shielded their eyes from the brightness, the blast of magic burst outwards from the hole in the ground spending outwards pushing back the rain and clouds.
As the light died down Anubis finally was able to see, what he first saw was a large white marble statue of Thunderous roaring out frozen at over 50ft tall, he sat up with a claw hand feeling the wood of the staff, glancing over to see it was restored and so was he. “I've been healed...” Anubis also noticed everything was glowing around him.
He turn to see Silvite was flying at high speed past him to her home, as she did the land was being restored before the battle even took place, he knelt down to see a flower was restored putting his claw hand over it, Anubis looked up to the hole as it being repaired. The magic washing over it. “Incredible...” He whispered.
Anubis also noticed there was no sign of the massive griffon now, he used his magic to teleport to the house to find Silvite holding up a unconscious griffon in her arms sitting down on her legs. “Oh thank goodness you are okay...” She pulled him close to her chest, stocking his feathered head with the free claw hand.
Anubis looked around to see the whole cavern was back to normal as if there wasn't a battle part from a new addition of a massive marble statue of Thunderous. “Gale didn't kill him... The magic imprisoned Thunderous... Unlike the echo futures I witnessed... The magic also healed and restored us too... Why did it restore me? What changed?” His glowing purple eyes set upon his staff then turn back to the unconscious teenage griffon.
Zerra came tumbling out of the portal in front of Grogar, the blue goat red eyes stared down at the injured zebra. “I gather the cub did that to your face?”
Zerra got up. “Yes! That brat just went into some crazed rage! I didn't even see him move before I got this!” He point a hoof to the three claw cut marks on his left side of the face, blood seeping form it. “Also when his pure magic surged like that! I felt terrified!”
“Hmm... So the reality did as I expected it to do towards pure magic.” Grogar using his magic to pull a blooded yellow talon scale from the cut. “And you brought me what I needed too, good work Zerra. Even without your wish magic abilities you've proven useful still.” Grogar took a good look at the scale.
Zerra stared at it. “M-Master his pure magic was amplified!?”
Grogar put the scale into a small dish closing a lid over it. “Yes, by a factor of 1000 I believe.”
“Wh-What!? That beyond even you at your strongest!”
“Indeed, but we do not need to worry about that reality anymore.” Grogar pick up the dish walking out of the room, Zerra followed.
“What do you mean and what of Thunderous?”
Grogar glance back at him. “Just another pawn in my quest of acquiring the pure magic Zerra. As for the reality, if what Anubis reported to me of the echo future is partly true, pure magic most likely collapsed it.”
Zerra frowned. “What of the cub?”
“Oh the reality gone but Nowhere isn't.”
“How do you even know that master?”
Grogar chuckled. “I have my sources.” Zerra stopped staring at the large blue goat as he continue to walk, the zebra was very confused. “Zerra come, that wound need tending to, I do not want my most loyal serve-servant zebra having a infection from that nasty cut would I?”
Zerra bowed. “Of course Master Grogar.”
Gale suddenly woke up sitting up looking up at the silver dragon holding him. “Gale, how are you feeling?”
“Hunger and tired...” Gale answered.
“No surprise with that kind of magical release you unleashed to create that massive griffon.” Anubis said sitting next to the river with his feet claws in the water. “You've been out for about a hour.”
Gale gasped. “Oh I remember! I know why I wake!”
“Please tell?” Silvite asked.
“I talked to Blue at Dream Cavern! He say he sense two of me!” Gale answered.
“Blue? Dream Cavern? Two of you?” Silvite frowned.
Anubis pulled his claw feet out of the water, standing up he looked over to the stair case leading out of the cavern. “Silvite you have sensors all over Nowhere right?”
“Yes?” She responded in a questionable tone as Gale got off her and checked on the little phoenix chick.
Anubis picked up his staff. “Check them please.”
Silvite frowned. “Why?”
“Just humour me and do it.”
“Fine...” Silvite pulled out her tablet from the bag, she activated the sensor systems to looked surprised at the readings. “That can't be right...” She ran another check on the system.
Gale holding the chick with one talon, the other stroking his head carefully. “What not right?”
Anubis raise his staff at a rock, it break to piece to form into a arch with rune markings appearing on it. “There more than just Nowhere being detected now...” Silvite said.
“I believe walking through this to the peak of the mountain will answer your question and resolve your confusion.” Anubis activated the runes with a magical energy field gate forming. “Come.” He stepped through.
Gale followed him through and Silvite followed, they came out of another rune gate at the peak of the mountain, and what they saw made Silvite have to do a double take at the scenery. “How is this even possible!? And where in the bloody hell are we at!?”
Gale realised where they where, he seen this place in a book. “Oooooo I know! I saw pictures of this in book at Gilda lessons at library! We at-”
