Wait a minute!
Now I know to anyone reading this journal, it might seem a bit odd to cut out of the start of an epic pounding scene, but just to let you know...
You left the stove on.
----
*ZAP* I couldn't move.
"It is sooo amusing to watch you squirm." Chrysalis trotted forwards. "But I must finish this quite soon." Then she stamped into my chest, cracking a rib or two, before fading into darkness
Ow.
Through the pain, I gained a new focus. The adrenaline stored in my system kicked in, and the pain, although it was still present, was numbed heavily.
"Are you ready to accept your fate, Ape?" She called out, her voice splitting off in several directions.
"Not yet." I set the entire floor on fire, revealing her and pushing her into the air. As soon as I had a lock on where she was, I shot a firebolt. Instead of dodging, she caught me off guard by curling it back around and sending it towards me with exact precision.
I absorbed it back into my body, suprising her.
"You are a rather accomplished mage aren't you? It took my years to figure out how to bring magic back into myself."
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm a fast learner." I was running on empty, trying to re-absorb heat from the room, not getting much, we were far up enough for it to get cold, the atmosphere was getting thinner.
With unimaginable speed, she shot towards me, charging me.
I barely dodged, the tip of her horn grazing my skin as she tried to slice with it. Notwo a second had passed and she had charged up another paralysis spell, I knew I wouldn't have time to dodge, so I tried to parry the shot off to a wall, using magic to bend it's path as it struck.
One of the honeycomb structures blew apart as the bolt impacted, sending debris flying everywhere. Picking up a cracked piece, I tossed it at the Queen.
With a flick of her head, and a light green tinge of magic, she atomized it.
"Do you see how pathetic you are?" She grabbed a larger piece, around the size of a small car, and lobbed it at me far harder. "Struggling." It smashed into the wall, and I barely got away from it without being pulp. "Weak."
'John!'
I was so focused on what was happening, Lavan was barely noticeable.
I felt a drip of sweat slowly make its way down from my forehead.
I could hear the cracking of the rubble under my feet, and under her hooves.
"You didn't even realise who you were up against until now. I am Chrysalis, the Queen of the Changelings, and I shall be forever heralded as the one who put the ponies, and all those other inferior species in their place..." She laughed as she threw me against a wall opposite to Helix. "Beneath us!"
The impact had broken my left leg, and I felt a searing pain when she pulled me back towards her on it.
"AAAAGHHHHH! YOU FUCKING CRAZY BITCH!" I yelled. As she pulled me back, I reached out and found a sharp piece of stone, trying to slash at error with it, I hit my mark, although not very effectively.
Chrysalis was now sporting a small gash on her cheek where the rock had grazed her. She inspected the wound with a hoof, seeing the green blood on it, she scowled, putting pressure on my broken leg. "Look what you've done!" She showed me the blood soaked hoof. "You will beg for mercy before me, or I shall make your death painful."
"Go fuc-AHHHHHHHH!" I screamed out, hearing a nasty crunching as my leg broke further down the shin.
"Beg." It was not a request, it was an order, and I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of obedience.
"I won't. Not to you. Not ever." She was amused.
"Humor me, then. Why not?" She smiled, a look of pure sadistic pleasure plastered on her face. Her left hoof still pressing firmly into my now twice broken leg.
"You aren't trying hard enough..." I joked weakly. My response was a jet of pain, injected into my spine.
I screamed so loud my voice ran dry.
"I will ask again: Why do you not beg, Ape? You are lucky I am so curious, otherwise you would already be the larvae's next meal."
"Because-." Every word, every breath had become a struggle now, my vision was hazy, my hearing muffled.
She laughed raucously, "Go on..." She teased the same pain back into my spine.
"Be-cause." I could hardly speak, "Helix is right behind you..." I whispered, my eyes slowly closing as I let the pain overtake me. She twisted her head around, looking at Helix's still unconscious form. "Ha-ha... Made you look..." I choked out weakly.
"I'm not done with you yet." I heard, as she shocked me back up to consciousness before doing that horrifically painful shit to my back. I couldn't even scream. I could only cry ilently as tears dripped down my cheeks, and I yelled out in complete silence.
I was pathetic. I had never felt weaker than I had than in the prescence of that whore, she had tried taking me apart.
I would not be torn.
"Any last words?" I asked her.
She smirked at my choice of phrase. "Before you die, know that your friends can't help you. Anything on the other end?" She mocked.
"Expect the unexpected." She looked confused.
I let off a final bolt of fire, the last of my magic ebbing away. The resulting hit had seared off her left wing, leaving a stub in its place.
She yelped, slamming me back into the wall several times.
Ribs.
Right leg.
Arms.
All broken.
Once she was done, she was seething and her left eye was visibly damaged. Shaking with rage. "Wise words, I'll make sure to write it down."
*whap*
"She's out cold, John. Don't worry, I'll teleport you to your friends." Helix said as I drifted off.
--Many months later...--
"Attend to me, Chrysalis."
The former queen sighed. "Yes, Master..."
Life had been easy in Sparkle Castle, my harem had increased to 50,000 mares today, and my personal maid Chrysalis was just dressing me for my meeting with Celestia.
"All done, Master." She said as she straightened my tie.
"Thank you. I shall make sure to reward you justly upon my return.
And I jumped in the batmobile I had commissioned, and set off to Canterlot, the wind at my back, and the theme song in my ears...
*MEEP* *MEEP* *MEEP*
I woke up in the hospital and soon Celestia began talking to me. But all I could think about was...
Damn it, just a dream...
