Discord's Fire Demon

Chapter 6-Vengeance v.s. The King of Dreams

Flare turned his head towards the explosion. He didn't move though, and looked back. Rainbow and Fluttershy had left, probably to check

on the townspeople. He didn't care though. Those ponies did nothing but disturb him and attempt to kill him. He sighed and sat back down on

the couch...and that was when he noticed his clothes, and the fact that he was inside instead of out.

"Guess I owe her one, huh?" He asked to himself, then ran off into the town. When he got there, he noticed the flaming buildings and that annoying cyan pegasus flying around some beams. She was then hit, and fell to the ground, knocked out cold.

/Minutes earlier, in Canterlot, in the castle/

"Tia!" Luna called, and her sister appeared at her doorstep in a few seconds.

"What are you doing up so early, Luna? It's not your shift yet."

"Our control over the dreamscape was ripped from us!" Luna warned, fear and panic evident in her voice. This sentence, combined with

the fear in her eyes, confirmed the thing that Celestia feared. The Dream King had returned. She ran back to her room and picked up her quill

and parchment to warn the Elements, but then she saw smoke rising from Ponyville and knew it was too late. She sent the letter anyway,

telling them who he was and to bring the Elements.

/Around that time, with Twilight/

"I should probably go check around Ponyville." Twilight thought aloud, worried. "That thing could still be around. It seemed to be even

stronger than the Princesses, and Celestia looked hurt when she--" She was interrupted when Spike belched, and she turned around to

tell him he was excused, when she saw a note lying on the floor. "Oh." She said, and picked up the scroll. She unfurled it, and as she read it

her eyes widened. She pulled out the box containing the elements, and got ready to contact her friends, but an explosion sounded nearby.

She went outside with the box, only to find her friends already there.

"Girls! Here!" She said, putting the elements on each girls' necks.

"Oh yeah!" Rainbow cheered, ready to finish this already.

"Let's just get this over with. I have a new guest." Fluttershy whispered, but Twilight heard her and assumed a new animal was injured.

The man, known only as The King of Dreams, stared with amusement. He then reveled in the look of rage he was receiving from the girls

when they noticed the pathetic mare he had just killed. Cheerilie lay in a bloody heap, her rose hair stained burgundy by the blood secreting

out of her forehead, and her skull was showing a bit. Their eyes glowed white as they rose into the air, and were surrounded by a mass

of rainbows. They then combined into a rainbow beam, which descended upon the King and enveloped him. The girls descended, only to find

the King wasn't changed. He wasn't stone, he wasn't depowered, he wasn't good. Nothing happened. He smiled.

"Sleep." He said, and blasted at the girls. Twilight barely got everyone out of the way, and her arm was cut. He then appeared in front of

her and dug his fist into her gut, making her cough up blood, and knocking her out instantly. Pinkie Pie zoomed all around him, trying to find

a weakness. "Pest!" he growled, and stuck his fist out, catching her right in the neck. Pinkie gagged, and immediately ceased all movement. He

then blasted Applejack right in the face, making her eyes bleed as she fell to the ground, also unconscious. Rarity attempted to get away to

get the Princesses, but she too was blasted, right in the back, and as she fell, blood started to stain her shirt.

"Only two left." He smiled sadistically and blasted at the cyan mare, but she took to the skies. She kept dodging his blasts until he fired eight at

once, blocking off all of her exits. They all hit her at the same time, burning her skin off of her arms, legs and stomach, exposing the muscles

to the elements.

/Now/

Fluttershy stood alone, as her friends were either knocked out or crying in silent agony. She faced this unstoppable beast of a King, with no

hope of survival. She looked around as her world began to fill with darkness...

Suddenly her and her friends were pushed to the side. That's when she saw him. Her guest. He just stood in front of this King, hands in

his pockets and all.

"Who are you?" The King inquired, but then he was knocked away. He soared through the air and crashed into the wall, but soon got up.

"I hope you're not planning on.." He then stopped boasting to look at the man, who's skin was burning away. The man screamed in pain, but

those screams of pain quickly turned into demonic roars of rage as more and more fire breached the confines of his skin. A charred skull

then appeared, no skin left on this man's head. He wasn't done though. Two fangs, unnaturally large ones, shot out of his jaw as his gums

burned away. Then, his shirt ripped as two giant, bony wings jutted out from his back. The clothes then ripped off as they gave way to shiny

black armor. The completed transformation looked at him, and he instantly recognized him.

"I thought you looked familiar. You were that pony we burned 1000 years ago." The demon growled at him, but didn't speak farther.

"I should've known you'd become a spawn of that chaotic fool."

/Somewhere nearby/
Discord sneezed, making a spring noise.

"Ooh! Someone's talking about me."
/Back to The King and Vengeance/

Vengeance was the first to attack, closing the distance between them and punching the King in the face. The punch never connected, though,

and the King jumped over his fist, and put his hand on it for balance. He then spun and kicked him in the skull, eliciting yet another growl from

the beast. Vengeance punched again, and the King flipped over it and got close. This was what Vengeance wanted though, so he opened his

maw and let loose a column of fire, completely blowing away the King. The King growled and stood up, shaking the rubble that used to be a

building off of him. He shot more beams, but Vengeance seemed to be getting tougher as the fight progressed. Vengeance tanked the beams

and clotheslined him, sending him flying into yet another building. He sat up, looking at Vengeance, who looked much less menacing a second

ago.

"Guess I have to actually try." The King flew up, creating a shockwave. He flew down, with an insane grin on his face. The world around

Vengeance was warping, and his eye sockets became dull. He was back on the tree, and the King stood over him. He was blasted in the

elbow, and there was nothing he could do about it. His arms were broken and put back, then his skull was smashed. He woke up quickly, to

find himself chained in the deepest level of Hell. Try as he might, he could not break these bonds.

/In the real world/
Fluttershy looked from the broken building she had hid her friends in as the demon was helplessly beaten by the King. The demon--no. Her

guest seemed to be trying to get up, but it looked like he was chained down. Left with no other option, she screamed out to him.

/Back to the nightmare/

As he tried more, his blood started to drip down the chains. His muscles screamed at him to stop. Just when he was about to snap his own bones to be free of these damn chains, a soft, yet desperate voice was heard.

"Get up!" It screamed. He recognized that voice. It was Fluttershy's. Then, one by one, the rest of their voices screamed to him.

"You can do it!" Rarity's voice sounded.

"I know you're stronger than that." Applejack's voice said, cutting through the air.

"You pack a mean slap, so kick his butt!" That pest Rainbow's head resounded,

"Beat that meanie!" Pinkie's voice said.

"Get up." A final voice resounded in his head, but it wasn't Twilight's. It was his father, Discord.

"I'll deal with the nightmares." His father appeared in front of him and held out a hand. Vengeance almost refused, but he needed all the

help he could get. With a final snap, he broke the chains and grabbed his father's mismatched hand, and a bright light filled his sight...

Author's Note:

The end of the battle is next, then the final chapter.
I will ask you this question the next two chapters:
Legendary or Ultimate?
Both of those are clues to a dragon ball z character that will come to Equestria
