“Your all nothing but bullies!!! And I think it’s time for a taste of your own medicine”!!! With that declaration Tommy swiped the D-tector over the single line of code on his hand and shouted out with a booming voice.

“ SPIRIT EVOLUTION”

“Tommy what are you doing”?! Caption Edwish yelled out but no response was given as once again Tommy’s body was engulfed in light.
All the soldiers pony and human alike had to shield their eyes from the light but when it finally died down and they could see again, what they saw may have been the strangest thing any of them had ever seen. A polar bear wearing a pair of hiking boots with shoulder pads on, a harness with an odd symbol on it, and what appeared to the frame of a helmet.
“Alright you ponies how about you pick on someone… your own size?” Kumamon was looking down at the ponies in front of him which wasn’t right as he remembered he should have been about head level with them. So as he looked down at his own body he found that he was huge now. He had to be easy 6 and a half feet tall and what was even more strange was that his hands also had change where once was three stubby fingers were now three sharp claws which looked like they were made of pure ice.
“Well that’s new.” Kumamon said to himself. “Did the form change because I’ve grown up? If so that’s so not fair! I looked ridiculous when I was younger. Man if I looked like this when I was a kid it would have been awesome. “ Tommy thought to himself.
Sadly Tommie’s train of thought was derailed as he felt another bottle of potion hit him. This time though he was hit right in the face. As he put his sight back on his surroundings instead of his own mind he noticed the ponies had seemed to have decided to surround him with their spears and swords ready to scourer him.
“I don’t know what you are but what I do know is that you are trying to stop us from purifying these humans. So surrender and maybe we will let you live.” The unicorn stallion that was right in front of Kumamon and appeared to be the leader of the group said.
Kumamon looked to his left and right seeing he was completely surrounded. Why the rest of his platoon hadn’t begun mowing them down was beyond him. Maybe they still were processing what he had become? Well that didn’t matter to the ice warrior.
“I would love to see you try.” Kumamon said looking right into the eyes of the ponies’ leader.
“Fine then. Kill him!!!” The stallion yelled out and all of his troops lunged their spears and swords forward. Only to see that Kumamon had vanished.
“ What just happened?” one unicorn said out loud floating his spear near his face to see if he had maybe gotten any blood of the creature on it.
“I don’t know.” A pegesus said back. “Maybe he was just a figment of our- hey why is it so much darker all of a sudden?”
The pony group looked around themselves to see he was right they all seemed to be in a dark circle as if something was blocking the moon light from reaching them. They then all looked up to see that Kumamon had just jumped straight up easily 50ft to dodge their attack, and was making his descent. But what really caught their attention while they looked up at him was that he was holding a large metal box that seemed to have four holes on its front pointed towards them and that kumamon was looking down a site on it.
“Ah buck” was all that could be said from one of the group of horses as they seemed to all be too stupefied to move.
Kumamon looked through the sight of his romeo launcher and felt a fire beginning to grow, one that seemed to make him think of nothing but the destruction fear and death that these ponies had brought. ‘Well’ Kumamon thought.’ I think it’s time to pay them back for all that they’ve done’.
“BLIZZARD BLASTER”. Was all that kumamon yelled out as he let his weapon do his speaking for him. But what came out of his launcher once again made the warrior of ice pause in thought.
Wait. Is it firing ice icicles? What happened to the snow balls? Man why is that all cool stuff he can do is happening now? Kumamon thought as he looked down and say the ponies sadly had gotten their minds back in order and most just or flew out of the area where the ice spears were landing. The few that hadn’t been fast enough were frozen as soon as the ice spears broke and they came in contact with the shards.
Kumamon came back to earth with a mighty crash as he landed on top of the pony ice sculptures braking them into a million pieces and looking right at the remaining ponies. The two forces eyed each other seeming both to be waiting for the other to make the first move. For a brief moment the world seemed to have completely stopped. On one side a group of 18 royal guards 6 unicorns 8 pegasis and 4 earth ponies all armed with spears and swords, while on the other a 6 and ½ foot tall polar bear armed with a romeo launcher sharp claws and a few other surprises just stood still waiting for the moment to attack. And it seemed Kumamon was going to make that move.
Kumamon pushed his right foot into the group to propel him forward RIGHT at the ponies who in turn began charging as a heard right at him. But it didn’t matter, as kumamon made a powerful swipe with his left paw right to neck of one of the unicorns killing him instantly. But what was more amazing was that the force of it knocking all them to the side. The herd of ponies all tumbled on the group for a few seconds before correcting themselves and jumping right back at him. Soon blows began to get traded.
A unicorn charged right into kumamon leveling his spear to make it go right through his stomach but before he got close enough a kumamon swiped at him with his left pay slashing right across his face making him reel back in pain and let out a large whinny in pain. But kumamon couldn’t deliever the killing blow to the distracted unicorn as he had to jump back a foot or so to doge a sword that was thrown at him he looked up and saw that 3 pegesus had teamed up and were flying right at him he quickly pulled out his blizzard blaster and launched a volley at them. The two side ponies managed to fly out of the way it time the same couldn’t be said about the middle one as the shards of ice hit him head on, freezing his body instantly making a pegasus ice sculpture fall right out of the sky and land on an earth pony who was trying to also charge at the bear.
Sadly after the first few minutes of fighting the ponies realized they didn’t have enough power to take him on. So for a time it felt like neither side was getting the upper hand as the ponies seemed to be fine with just keeping him occupied.
‘Of course they aren’t going to get near me. All they need to do is wait for back up if the rest of the human troop’s to retreat then they will no doubt come here and see what’s going on. Then I’m really screwed.’ Kumamon thought.
Kumamon then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left side he looked and saw a sword wedged in it glowing with a red aura meaning an unicorn was using it. He looked up and saw the unicorn group leader staring at him with a face that seemed to only know rage.
“Now!” He yelled out. Kumamon looked forward and say that 3 earth ponies were a mere foot from his face with their spears all ready to finish him.
“No” tommy said inside his head. “I can’t die like this. I can finally really fight back!” The world seemed to slow down for him as the tips of the began getting closer and closer, as it seemed this was going to be how he died.
BANG BANG BANG
Or maybe not. The royal guards all seemed to as the three earth ponies all seemed to jerk to the right before falling limp in the snow. They then looked to see there the sound had come from only to see something that they had completely forgotten about. The rest of Tommys platoon had finally gotten their act back together and decided to help.
Captain Edwish put his 9mm pistol back in its holster and took an assault rifle from a solider offering it to him. “ I Don’t care if you think you are all so high and mighty” the captain yelling out ,”but you do not try to gang up on one of my men if you fight one of us you fight all of us!” The rest of the squad got into firing position. “Weapons free!” Kasay yelled out as they began taking out the ponies left in right as they were all too tired from fighting the warrior of ice to dodge the bullets.
As the ponies fell back behind their own make shift shield of dead bodies and began losing guards left and right only 6 made it. The unicorn leader and 5 pegasus. As the human troops began moving in on them Gary ran up to Kumamon.
“Tommy, What the…what?! What the fuck? Are you ok? What the hell are you?” Gary yelled out seeming his brain had shut down and couldn’t understand what had happened.
“Look Gary I’m fine for the moment and the rest I’ll answer later, ok?” Now I’ve got to finish these guys off and then we have got to get to the rest of the camps and help them.” Kumamon said as he used his claws to pull the blade out of his side making his once white fur begin to turn red.
He walked over to the others as the had all made a semi-circle in front of it exchanging bullet shots with the thrown spears and swords that the ponies picked from the dead guards bodies. Kumamon walked right up to captain Kasey and stood in front of him the ponies seemed to know something was about to happen and stopped throwing things seeming to be bracing themselves waiting for it. But it didn’t help them much as Kumamon breathed in a large just of air and roared it out yelling CRYSTAL STORM as it flew right at them. And as soon as it made contact with the body’s ice grow faster than it seemed possible, the ice then spread until the whole piled was frozen solid.
The soldiers began slowing making their way behind it and say that the rest of the royal guards that were still alive were now frozen the Pegasus seemed to have hugged the bodies hoping they would protect them, the unicorn leader how ever had taken to going into the fedel position putting one of his hoofs in his mouth seeming to try to stop his screams of terror.
“Well if that isn’t just a pretty picture.” Captain Edwish said smiling like a mad man while the rest of the squad began yelling cheers.
“Now’s not the time for celebrating we have got to go help the others! Now let’s move out!” Kasey yelled out beginning to run as fast as he could in the snow.
The rest of the squad with Kumamon and Gary right next to the captain began moving to the closest camp to there’s when Tommy stopped and put his paws over his ears as he began yelling out in pain.
“Make it Stop! Make it stop!” He yelled out his eyes clenched close on his knees barely able to keep himself from falling over.
“Tommy are you ok?!”Gary yelled out trying to get closer but captain Kasey grabbed his shoulder keeping him in place.
“What’s wrong soilder?” Kasey yelled out, not sure if he was safe to get to right now.
“The screaming! Can’t you hear it! Its deafening!” Tommy yelled out to him. But besides the faint yells and sound of bullets being fired going on in the distance from the rest of the camp THERE was nothing really that loud.
“There is no screaming solider now I need you to get back up and fight we can’t do this without you.” Kasey yelled back.
“But it’s so close”! Kumamon yelled out opening his eyes and showing them glowing with a bright light. The rest of the men took a step back not sure what was happening. Tommy then seemed to completely ignore the rest of the squad around him as he began walking turned the barriers faint glow.
“Where the hell are you doing?” Gary yelled out. Seeing how Kumamon had stopped moving and was just standing there with his glowing eyes looking right in the direction of the barrier.
And the only respond Gary got was Kumamon pulling his paws together and yelling out ICE with a booming move and a beam of light flew from his paws straight towards the barrier.
