//------------------------------// // Chapter 43: Blob of Doom! // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// “Luna, I’m bored!” I was sitting on Luna’s bed on my back watching her play one of her games. “Well what do you want from me? You can’t play games and I’m not spending all day sitting around just to entertain you.” “Fine, I don’t have to take this.” I jumped down and walked towards the door. “Where do you think you’re going?” then I was levitated and carried over to sit next to Luna on her couch. “Tell you what, tomorrow we’ll look more into getting a cure for you. “Can’t this Chariot go any faster?” I looked impatiently at Luna. “It can only go as fast as my guards can fly.” “Ugh whatever.” We were in Luna’s chariot heading for the Zebra’s island. Luna thought that maybe they would have a cure for my problem. After another hour we finally landed in the main Zebra city. I jumped onto Luna’s head and we walked towards the capital hut. You could distinguish it from the rest based on its size and the fact that it had a giant zebra mask over the door. When we walked in the zebra leader came up to Luna. “Ah Princess Luna, it’s an honor to finally meet you.” he extended a leg out. Luna took it and they shook hooves. “Might I ask why you decided to pay us a surprise visit?” “You know my friend Sean right?” “You mean the best partying diplomat in the world?” “That’s the one.” “What about him?” “Well there was an accident and now there’s a small problem. Sean.” At that I climbed over her crown and looked at the zebra. “How’s it going?” I waved at him. “Sean? What happened to you?” I explained the whole event to him about the crazy Celestia and the fight and what was wrong with me. “Ah, I see. If you’ll excuse me for a moment I may have something that can help.” He then turned and headed to what seemed to be his office. After a few minutes he came out holding a book. “Just as I thought, I have found a possible way to fix him.” “Really how?” I looked at him intently. “I was looking through a book that has information about side effects of someone losing all the magic within them. It has actually happened to some unicorns and one of them wrote a book.” “Ok but how do I fix myself?” “That’s the easy part, all you will need to do is completely drain the magic from other magical beings.” “Sounds easy enough, I can just use Luna.” “Hey! Don’t offer me up as some magic sponge.” “She’s right Sean, unless you want to kill your friend I would advise against using her.” The zebra interrupted our argument “Why’s that?” “Because, according to the book all the beings used will be killed in the process. Plus you need multiple beings.” After Luna and I got home we headed to her room to discuss the options we had. “Sean, I don’t know about you killing some innocent ponies just to fix yourself.” “Don’t worry Luna, I know just who to use.” “Really?” “Yes, the Canterlot prison id where we store the true scum of Equestria right?” “Yeah, what’s your point?” “We can use the prisoners that either have life sentences or are on death row. That way we kill the scum and fix me. Two birds one stone.” “That’s true. I don’t like it still but it makes sense.” “Then it’s settled, tomorrow we’ll go to the prison and get all the unicorns and pegasi who deserve to die and they’ll become the ingredients for my cure.” I’m so excited! We just entered the gates to the Canterlot prison. Finally I’ll be rid of this stupid body. At the front door the head guard was waiting for us he was a large unicorn in the standard guard armor. “Hello princess,” he bowed. “I understand you’re here for some prisoners.” “Yes, I need to see all the unicorns and pegasi that have life sentences or are set to be executed.” “Might I ask why?” The guard looked genuinely confused. “I need them to help Sean.” The guard looked around. “I don’t see him anywhere.” “I’m up here.” I then popped my head out from Luna’s mane. “Sean? Why are you a lizard?” the guard asked in shock. I had Luna explain the situation and our plan. “I’m not so sure how I feel about sacrificing ponies. Even if they are scum.” I jumped off of Luna and onto his face. “Listen you! I don’t care how you feel about my plan! If you want I can use you as the first sacrifice!” I then felt my self levitated and carried back to Luna. “I’m so sorry.” Luna said apologetically. “No..It’s alright. Let me take you to the prisoners.” He looked pretty nervous. I looked at the line of ponies in the prison courtyard. There were at least twenty prisoners. They were all being held still by magic bindings. I just realized I have no idea what to do. Time to wing it! “Luna take me to that prisoner on the far left.” “Ok.” Luna walked over to the prisoner. The prisoner looked at Luna. “Hey good looking, why don’t we go back to my cell. I could treat you to a good time.” Luna growled. “Sean, make this one die painfully.” “Sure thing.” I jumped off Luna and onto the prisoner’s face I then bit his face and took him over. Bob! What? Do you have any idea how to get this going? Maybe, walk up to another guy and make contact. Then do what you usually do to drain magic and then your body should do the rest. Ok. I walked towards the prisoner next to me. I heard the voice of the pony I was currently controlling. “Hey! What’s going on? Why can’t I control my body!?” I ignored him and put a hoof on the shoulder of the other pony. Then suddenly everything went black. Luna looked in shock. After the pony Sean had possessed made contact with the other pony the two ponies fused into a blob. It sat there for a minute then three tentacles burst out. The tentacles lunged at three more prisoners. Once they had grabbed them they began to absorb the prisoners into its “body”. After it had absorbed them it grew to the size of a chariot. It then grew six tentacles. She heard some of the guards scream. Then she noticed that the unicorns holding the prisoners still had run away. Suddenly the prisoners began to run around the yard trying to get away. Then the tentacles grabbed six more prisoners and absorbed them. Again it grew this time to half the size of the prison. Then it grew eleven tentacles. It grabbed what was left of the prisoners. She cringed as she heard one of them cry out for his mother. After it had drained the last of them it grew till it was larger than the prison, it ended up tearing down the gates around the yard. After the growth nothing happened. Luna and all the guards watched the blob for a few minutes. Nothing happened. Suddenly it began to pulse. It looked similar to a heart slowly beating. It slowly changed from a mesh of colors to an olive color. After another few minutes it began to beat faster and there were red sparks and suddenly a tail burst out from one end. Followed by two arms. The arms reached out and pressed their hands to the ground as if it was about to get up. Then two legs came out and it propped itself up into a kneeling position. Luna watched as wings and a head came out. It looked like a dragon that was lacking any sort of details. It was a solid olive color and lacked any distinguishable fingers or toes and the face was completely smooth. Slowly two horns burst from the skull. Then the body began to become more detailed. Its hands grew three fingers, the legs grew clawed toes, and the face began to develop a mouth, nose, and eyes. Then it grew armor, and finally a gem appeared between the curved horns. Now in front of them stood the sixty foot dragon form of Sean. He let out a low growl, he then raised his head to the sky and let out a roar. He turned his head to look at Luna and the guards, then shot a column of fire in front of them. They all leapt back. Then slowly a figure began to appear in the fire and the dragon slowly began to be absorbed by the flames. After the dragon had been completely absorbed the fire faded and where the column had just been stood Sean. In his human form. He looked at his hands then the rest of him. Then he looked at them and began to laugh. “I’m back baby!”
