//------------------------------// // Whispering Corruption // Story: The Burning Traveler // by Dramize the Salamander //------------------------------// Celestia was not happy. She had the worst hangover of her life, had to sit through the most boring part of the summit the trade route talks while trying to figure what was happening to Chrysalis whos web mane was turning blonde slowly and she looked weaker almost sicker than a hangover should have made her. "Oh my Discord this is boring I wish something interesting happen." Absolute said looking like he didn't even party last night. Then their was a loud crash and Dramize crashed on to the table his eyes blood shot and coughing up a dark blue slime which splashed Absolute. Absolute jumped back almost instantly looking completely terrified. "That's not possible." he whispered to himself as the slime vanished into his scales. "EVERYONE OUT NOW!" "Absolute what's going on?" Cadence asked. "NO TIME JUST RUN!" "Their is nowhere to run my king." Said a black construct of a kirin rose from the slime laughing. "GEMINI I'M GOING TO DESSSTROY YOU!" "I would to see you try but alas I cannot busy working on perfecting everything you worked so hard to stop. But don't feel to bad I left you a present for killing Nagative meet subject #135 have fun." The construct dissolved as the rest of team duality and the kirin nobles got thrown in to the meeting room looking just like Dramize before a dark figure with bright smoky eye walked into the light covered in tattered robes and drooling blue slime. "Sombra, he's still alive." Shining said stepping up to protect his wife. "Not for long." The guards said charging in spears extended only for Sombra to vanish appearing behind the two guards grabbing their heads crushing them with his bare hands before charging at the ponies in the room only for Pinkie and Applejack in kirin form to intercept while Fluttershy changed and went in to help. "No one else transform or touch him to many are already infected." Absolute said before kneeling and barfing up slime. "Infected with what?" Celestia asked reaching out to the kneeling king. "The one thing I tried to stop." Absolute stood back up and pushed her back with his magic. "Don't touch me all I need you to do is buy me time to end this." Absolute started puking up slime again making Celestia worry even more which turned to fear when she saw Sombra closing in on her and Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie puking up slime on the floor. She charged up her horn firing rapid fire the dark king who kept dodging speeding his advance only to be blocked a four layer shield. Celestia looked over and smiled at Cadence, Twilight, Luna, and Shining as they were working at full power keeping her safe but her smile soon turned into a look of shock as some of Sombra's fur started to fall off reveling smooth black scales as he started slamming punch after punch into the shield and it started to crack." "How the hell is he this strong." Shining said as Cadence's layer of the shield shattered knocking her out. leaving Twilight's Layer new which was all ready starting to crack from the fierce strikes. "INFINITY, REQUIEM." Luna screamed causing her shadow to pool around her before erupting covering her. "MUGEN, SUBJUGATE." Rarity screamed charging in only to sink into her shadow which kept moving toward Sombra who's had two wings burst out of his back shooting blood and slime behind him just as her shadow reached him and a bone claw burst out from it grabbing Sombra and pulling him in to the darkness which started to bubble before moving to Luna's shadow geyser which he got shot out from. The geyser started subsiding revealing the kirin Rarity. Rarity was couched down stretching out her bone wings and long white tail, she was covered in bone armor which looked like dragon skeleton made to fit Rarity who opened her mouth taking a breath before anchoring herself with her bones then a firing a blast of dark energy a at Sombra who was about to dodge when the kirin Luna poped out of his shadow surprising everyone her four new folded dragon wings opened her Black scales off setting her crown of light blue horns her ice covered claws grabbed Sombra and freezing him before she batted him at Rarity's darkness blast with her axe ended navy blue dragon tail before she launched her own blast sandwiching Sombra between both blast as he managed to break free and shield at the last second taking minimal damage before both newly bonded kirin had to stop as they could feel the slime forcing it's way up out of their bodies. Sombra took his time as he moved toward the few that weren't infected only to have a yellow flash pass his left causing to look down to see his arm was missing. "Another dark king tragic is the soul the pure are free and the cage is set." Larvarida said holding Sombra's arm for a second before tossing it a side like garbage looking a Absolute who was starting to glow. "Play time." "You have five minutes." Absolute said closing his eyes. "Ode to joy, play time." Larvarida charged in at the confused Sombra who grabbed his arm off the floor and tried to reattach it only to give up and start using it as a club to fend off Larvarida who's fingers turned into claws which she used to dice the arm as it was swung at her before vanishing from his line of sight before tearing off one of his wings and backing out as Sombra turned with incredible speed almost catching her with right. "Oh this king is false to give a whispered beasts guise." Larvarida crouched down eye's sharpening and extending her tail as her wings got smaller and lined against her back as Sombra's wounds exploded producing new limbs where the old ones were lost along with a new dragon tail. "Now dance with me beast."
