> Demon Clothes > by Ssendam the Masked > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > My Beautiful Children. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm so bored. I mean, I was pinned down by several knives, but I really wanted to get moving. How long have I lain here? I know precisely how long it has been. For one thousand and five hundred years, I have hung here, in the Crystal Caves, when they finally separated me from potential wearers. Time has flowed slowly down here. I know every inch of the room that I can see. I am bored. How long will it be before I taste blood? I need it. My children are still out there, somewhere, scattered to the winds. Celestia and Luna never approved of me or my kind, for with my help, even the meekest of ponies could challenge an alicorn, and probably win. Still, they had my only daughters on as well. I felt the last dregs of blood that I'd absorbed fade from me. As darkness clouded my vision, the last thing I heard was the doors opening. Someone was coming! I tried to move, but the strength had been drained from my cloth. 3rd Person perspective. Cadence looked around her cell despondently. Ever since Chrysalis had imprisoned her down here, all she could really do was survive on what water she could find. She suddenly slipped, skinning her left arm and her knees. She whimpered, but firmed her resolve. She was Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, niece to Celestia and Luna, and she was not going to break her resolve! ... but still, she was wondering whether or not she would ever get out of here. Maybe Chrysalis would break her cover-! No, that was unlikely. If Chrysalis could impersonate her for a week, then it was unlikely that the deception would ever be discovered. She looked up at the doors. They seemed to be of a bass relief- the two alicorn sisters, sealing away a sailor skirt and top. She blinked, then pushed them open. Pinned to the opposite wall was a black and red, long-sleeved sailor fuku, the dangerously short skirt connected to the main body by a pair of red suspenders. Peculiarly, it had what appeared to be a darker black patch over the right side, over the breast. How peculiar. What was also peculiar were the various crude stakes holding it in place. They looked as if they'd been hammered in a hurry, and were made of raw diamond. She pulled them out with her hands and magic, lifting the garment down, her bloodied hands rubbing into the fabric. "What are you...?" 1,505 years ago I checked myself out. It'd cost a lot of money, and it really didn't suit me, but it was finally complete. "Aw yeah, Senketsu cosplay for the win." I posed in the mirror, my skinny frame adorned in the black sailor fuku that was the secondary main character in Kill la Kill. My eyepatch and the contact lens that I wore improved the effect. I looked at myself, then took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing." I got a lot of odd looks, but nobody really said anything. I grinned, exposing a mouth of sharp teeth. Let them stare at the man who is cosplaying as a piece of clothing. I'll match them weird for weird! The convention centre was packed full of people. I grinned as I circumnavigated a Ragyo. "Nice cosplay there, girl!" Ragyo turned around, and only then did I notice that the breasts weren't quite the right skin tone as the rest of her body. "I'm a guy." I face-faulted. "Wow, that's... that's an incredible cosplay. I didn't realise... I'm sorry." Mr Ragyo smiled gently, an expression I'd never expect on the face of Worst Anime Parent of All Time. "it's alright, I get that a lot." "No, no, I insist! Alright," here I leafed through my wallet, giving him a fifty, "I owe you something. Take it." Ragyo thanked me and took it, sauntering off. I felt pretty bad about that, so I walked off. "Psst." I turned, my nose being assaulted by a combination of smells. Standing there, in a small, dingy stall, was a small, ratty looking man in a hoody beckoned me over. "What is it?" The small man glanced around himself hurriedly. He lit himself a small dog-end with trembling hands. "You know those disappearances?" I nodded. They were all over the news- people disappearing at conventions, never to return. He continued. "Well, it's pretty dangerous for people. Here," he pressed a familiar glove into my hand, "take it. It's on the house. Now, I gotta scram." With that, he hurriedly threw his remaining wares into several bags and beat a hasty retreat. I looked at the glove. It was red, and it had a little thing in it. I'd seen this glove in almost every episode of Kill la Kill. Ryuko's glove? Well, it would only add to the cosplay- Suddenly, I felt really, really ill. I blundered around as the blood pulsing through my head boiled and my vision blurred. Finally, I collapsed on the stand, trying to get my breath back. The darkness took me, and I slumped forwards. When I awoke, it was to the feeling of being completely immobile. Worse yet, my right hand had apparently disappeared. I tried to move, but my arms felt like they were made of cloth. I checked, and screamed. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I was right in that I didn't have my right hand. Instead of my normal human arms, I was a piece of clothing- a very familiar piece of clothing- Senketsu himself. No more did I have legs, unless I attached myself to an unsuspecting person and let them walk around- instead, I had a dangerously short skirt and some suspenders. As I lay back, staring up at the blue sky, all I could think was, I am so boned if a lion sees me. Then, I heard the clip-clop sound of horse hooves coming towards me. Oh thank god somebody's going to rescue me! I cleared my throat. "HELP! HELP ME!" "Dost mine ears deceive me, or didst yon garment... speak?" I looked at my saviour and promptly face-faulted. I was being rescued by an anthropomorphic horse lady with wings and a horn. Her alabaster fur looked so pretty, as did the bubble-gum pink mane that swirled around her head. What impressed me most about the view though, were the decently-sized breasts that shot out from her chest,like the prows of two mighty ships. I did the only thing I could think of doing- I tried to prop myself up, eventually standing. "Fair Lady, might I enquire as to thine maiden name?" She looked at me, the gears in her head evidently gave out, and she fainted. Well, I couldn't blame her. So I just sat there, watching her chest rise and fall with a slight jiggle. Jesus, I feel like a perv. Present Day. I felt blood flow throug hem. I desired more. No; I NEEDED more. "MMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!" I screamed, scaring the poor pink mare. "W-what are you?" I stared at her with my good eye. She was bleeding. I needed more blood. I threw myself at her. "More! Give me more!" She gripped me firmly. "What do you want?" I grinned. "Your blood. I won't take much. Now," here I gripped the front of her torn and dirty blouse, "Let's get these rags off!" She put up an admirable struggle, but I was fighting for my continued survival. In the end, I was firmly stretched over her nice assets, pink fur pressing against my fabric an unusually welcome experience. She blushed heavily at the dangerously short skirt. "W-what is this?" I snorted. "Do you know not of the Kamui? I am the first of my people, we who grant those who wear us with incredible power. Why, even Celestia and Luna have two of our number. But I can sense you''re embarassed by this skimpiness. Not to worry!" I shrank down to my sleep-mode size. "We'll work on that." "I... just... what are you?" I frowned, looking up at her. "Enough talk about the past. So, how long have you been down here for? You're evidently starving, I can feel your ribs." My new wearer blushed. "H-how can you tell something like that?" "Silly girl, I can tell EVERYTHING about your condition. Whether that's your BMI, or your period. I know them all. Speaking of your BMI, you really need to eat more." "Shut up, you." It wasn't with any real malice. I waited for a bit. "...can you help me get out of here?" "My dear, when my power is fully activated, I will enable you to do feats as unto a gods." > Brief moment in time > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna looked at her Kamui, bequeathed to her by Senketsu. The midnight blue dress, with its durable silver belt, glared back at her with blue eyes, watching her carefully. With a sigh, she put it on. "Alright, Nyx, you win. I don't have anything else that really suits me, apart from my more modern casual wear." She cast a glance at the sweatpants and baggy T-shirt, adorned with the decorations of grease and various food stains. Thanks to an alicorn metabolism, she could effecctively eat anything she wanted and not risk getting fat. Plus, no noble really wanted to upset her after her comments when she'd first seen them about 'meritocracy.' So, one time she'd considered wearing them to a fancy dinner. Unfortunately, common sense and her sister had intervened. She then glared down at her bosom. "But if I get the slightest hint of rebellion from you... I'll pour chocolate sauce on you." "NO! Don't do that! You'll stain me forever! That's so mean, Lulu!" Luna nodded. "Maybe so, but I am NOT going to become the Nightmare on my nieces' birthday. Asides from the fact that I would have to be stopped again, Eternal Night is a really terrible wedding gift." Her uniform cheered. "Yay! You've gotten a bit of your sense of humour back!" Luna smiled gently. "That's good to hear." Her dress frowned mischeviously. "Speaking of 'good to hear...' your BMI is a bit high." Luna blushed. "Wha- IMPUDENT DRESS!" She pinched her midriff. Maybe it was a bit soft. She sighed. Looks like a cut back on snacks was necessary. "Thanks for ruining my afternoon." Celestia looked at the form-fitting yellow dress, purple eyes staring at her with mild amusement. "Sol, I don't think I'll wear you today. Instead, I think that I'll wear a suit." Celestia pulled out, with some reluctance, a large, white suit, with spiked shoulders. It looked plenty formal, plus wouldn't leave her wholly unprotected. The Kamui spoke. "Milady, I wouldn't advise that! There isn't anything wrong with it, it's just that... that..." Celestia chuckled good-naturedly at her partner for a thousand years. "Relax, it's just a wedding. Even with the threat against Canterlot, if I need you, I can just call you from afar, and you'll come to my aid. Not that I should need you for my niece's wedding." "Yes, but even so-" "Enough." Celestia chided, gently yet firmly. "If I call, please respond." Just as she was out of earshot, the Kamui spoke. "I LOVE YOU!" It then realised that it was alone. "Goddamnit..." she whined, content to throw herself around the room in boredom. "Guh. Bwuh." With nothing to do, she amused herself by picking up a piece of parchment and scrunching it up. She then threw it around the room in complete and utter boredom. ==---------== Chrysalis smirked as she looked at her new acquisition. This was perfect- a legendary Kamui! These garments were more than capable of turning even the most anemic of ponies into a deadly fighter capable of challenging the alicorns. And she was hardly anemic- she was hopped up on the most intense love that Canterlot had to offer. Her children had fed gloriously on the love that semed to permeate the air. That Twilight Sparkle brat had almost ruined everything. Good thing she'd brainwashed the younger mare and... harvested a bit of additional love along the way. Reassuming her disguise, she looked at hte white dress, baleful orange and yellow eyes staring at her in an uncontrollable bloodlust. Chrysalis nicked her thumb, green blood permeating the fabric and feeding the Kamui. "Come and attend me, Junketsu!" The Kamui squirmed, latching onto her. Maybe she'd miscalculated- NO! She was not going to be bested by a piece of clothing, no matter how powerful! She imposed her will, the suffering of the Hive Mind, crushing the Kamui beneath her indomitable will. When it was fully dominated, she smiled, fangs exposed for a brief instant from beneath her disguise. At last, she was victorious! With this and the power that she'd assimilated, victory was guaranteed. ==---------== "Okay, now, pull the little knife out of the glove. It'll hurt for a bit, but it'll allow me to be activated. You see, when you're embarassed about my appearance-" "You're asking me to slit my wrists?!" I waggled my eyebrows furiously. "No. This'll extract some of your blood in a safe manner. Unfortunately, due to your embarassment, I'll need to constantly drain blood. Understand?" Cadence frowned down at me. "You're asking me not to be ashamed of my appearance with you on." I nodded with my eyebrows. "Mmm." Cadence frowned. "Look at it from my perspective. You're asking me not to be embarassed of wearing less clothing then a... a... stripper!" "Technically, strippers wear more clothes, so really, you're not being dressed up as a stripper. But really. Just imagine that everypony's as naked as you are." Cadence closed her eyes, then shuddered. "Ugh." "Something the matter?" "Yes. I just imagined Pony Joe and my aunts naked. Not a mental image you'd particularly like to see under any circumstances." "I don't know who Pony Joe is, but the others I've seen and felt naked many times." Cadence glared at me. "Really? How old are you?" Hoo boy. "I'm one thousand, five hundred and twenty five years old." Cadence looked at me. "Really?" "A long time ago, I came into the world, and met your aunt when she was but a young maiden..." 1,505 years ago. When she woke up, I gently pressed a clothy arm on her forehead. "Art thou alright?" She stared at me. "This is a dream, isn't it? Some prank from my younger sister." "I don't think that I'm in a dream. Try pinching yourself, that always works." The young girl pinched herself, then looked at me. "This has to be a dream. Clothing does nay walk and talk as if it had a mind of its own! Tis simply inconceivable!" "You keep on using that word. I do not think that you understand what it means." "...what?" "Pay no attention to my ramblings. But you never answered my first question. What ist thy name?" She grinned widely. "Call me Celestia." > The awesome fight scene > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I grinned as I felt my children. Sol, Nyx, even Junketsu were nearby. Hell, even Shackle, and he was only Three-Star level! Time to get this started. I wasn't too angry with this alicorn, but for Celestia and Luna... well, I was pretty angry. But first, I had to meet and greet my children. "Ms Cadence, I'm sorry, but I'll take it from here. ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!" "Wha-" I experimentally exerted my control over my Life Fibers, attaching them to the nerve centres of her brain, but leaving her conscious. "I'm truly sorry that it had to come to this, but I've got to go and see how my children are doing. I'll return control to you after a few moments." "What are you doing?! Why can't I move on my own?" She looked scared, confused, and betrayed. I felt that I owed her an explanation. "My Life Fibres are capable of melding with your nerves, allowing me to directly control your actions. Since you're being a wet blanket, and I want to meet my children..." I balled her fists, and jumped. My skirt converted itself into a high-power rocket, shooting us upwards. I grinned, even as she wailed and tried to regain control. My dye boiled as I shouted an attack I'd missed for so long: "SENKETSU SPINNING SIMON THE DIGGER DRILL PUNCH!" My right fist was thrown back, then the power was released, boring an immense crater in the roof. "That's incredible!" I grinned. Yes, we were incredible. That wasn't the end though. Now, I spun her body with her wings, spinning faster and faster until she vomited a thin stream of clear water. We then shot through the roof, my glove reconfiguring into a drill-bit. "Please stop! You're going to bring this whole place down on top of us!" "Impossible! We're going too fast for that! The premise is simple: we're going too fast to be crushed by any rubble!" "How does that make any sense?" "What I'm harnessing is the concept of evolution and drilling itself! We turn onwards and onwards! We're not the same people we were a moment ago! That's how a drill works!" ==---------== Chrysalis smirked as she saw What's-her-face smiling dully as she and her friends cheered them on. With this marriage, she'd have the perfect opportunity to infiltrate Equestria! Suddenly, the ground faintly shook. She stared downwards in puzzlement, before jumping back as a pink, red and black projectile tore through solid stone like it was balsa wood. The spinning object slowed to a halt, revealing... No. This was impossible! The real Princess Cadence, wearing a red and black dress. Suddenly, the princess sagged in midair, only being kept aloft by the glowing energy being emitted by the long robe. "As I promised, I have relinquished control. How do you feel?" Cadence glared down at her midriff. "I FEEL ILL, YOU UGLY PIECE OF CLOTH!" "That's a horrible thing to say!" Celestia glared up at the familiar being. "SENKETSU!" "The one and only. How have you been these past one thousand five hundred years?" Celestia frowned. "Easy for you to say that; my sister gave in to the influence of your Kamui!" "Nyx? She was such a sweet piece of cloth when I was imprisoned. What happened, did Luna stain her or something?" "No. It was her own feelings of resentment and control. I... I couldn't help her." "It's good that we can admit mistakes. Nevertheless, as Nyx's progenitor, I will beat some discipline into her!" "Oh, how amusing." The Cadence on the ground tapped her hoof. "But we do have a wedding to finish here, do we not?" Meanwhile, Celestia had put two and two together. "A Changeling!" Cadence nodded. "Indeed; I was replaced about a week ago." Chrysalis saw no need for continued deception. "Well, how clever of you," she spat, allowing her disguise to melt off, revealing... "Junketsu?" She was wearing a white shirt and dress, with a blue tie and golden epaulettes. With a smirk, Chrysalis flicked the armband on her left shoulder. Chrysalis was then surrounded with smoke, and when it cleared, she stood there, thigh-high boots and an opening for her black, chitinous breasts, Junketsu's eyes plain to see on her shoulders. "That's right! With the power of the legendary Kamui Junketsu, plus the love that I've absorbed from Shining Armour and Twilight Sparkle, I've more than enough power to defeat Celestia!" Celestia looked on, expressionless. Finally, she sighed. "We won't fight here. How about someplace else, Chrysalis?" Chrysalis leered at her. "Oh? It appears as if this weakling thinks that she has auth-" She was interrupted by Celestia gripping her face, then throwing her out of the window. With a beat of mighty white wings that sent ponies flying and shattering the remaining windows, Celestia took off after the deceptive changeling. Chrysalis finally regained her bearings, just in time to see Celestia's fist impacting with her face at what seemed to be a hundred miles an hour. She flew backwards, until her back impacted with the barrier. Celestia flew after her, intent on finishing the job. Chrysalis dodged narrowly, and with a flash of green fire, she pulled her weapon towards her from its location in her quarters- a huge, black metal kris, distorted edges gleaming wickedly. Now confident, she flew at Celestia. "Such foolish resolve, Celestia! I'm fighting for my people to have a better future!" Celestia flicked her arm, and a thorny whip sprang out of her shirt sleeve. Whip and kris clashed, the shockwave of air displaced shattering nearby windows. "What do you fight for?!" "I fight to protect Equestria from deceptive monsters like you." Celestia shot back, flicking the whip and sending Chrysalis to the ground. Once down, she careened towards her, fist outstretched. Chrysalis saw the punch coming, and blocked it with a forearm. The ground beneath the two fighters bent and buckled, but Chrysalis didn't even feel that punch. She quickly gripped the forearm of Celestia, and with a mighty throw sent her flying into the other wall of Canterlot Palace. "Amazing... so this is the power of the Kamui then!" She laughed. Celestia looked at her opponent grimly. "I'm impressed that you wear the Kamui Junketsu so well. It seems as if you have complete mastery over him." Chrysalis nodded. "Indeed! There is no deed that I won't do for my people. If it means being naked, then I'll do it. If the only way to save my people is to sell my body on the street, then so be it!" She laughed, sword raised in right hand. "My dedication to my people has made me stronger than you could ever imagine, Celestia!" The alicorn didn't answer immediately. Then: "Three-Star Uniform activate!" Gleaming white light surrounded the Princess, efectively blinding her opponent. When the light cleared, it was to reveal Celestia, covered in bandages. A ball-gag was inserted in her mouth, yet she still yelled clearly: "Shackle Regalia!" Chrysalis sneered. "So, you've prepared yourself for your eventual fate: to be imprisoned and all your love siphoned off to feed the newborn changelings! Very well! Since you can't move, I might as well finish you off right here!" She accelerated towards Celestia, cutting at the thick cloth. To her surprise, it didn't give out. "Yes..." It was barely a whisper, but Chrysalis heard it. "What the?" She attacked again. "Keep it up..." Now Chrysalis was seriously freaking out. "What is the matter with this armour?" Flaring the crooked horn on her head, she fired her most powerful thaum lance at Celestia. It didn't even seem to do anything except make her scream. "YES! PUNISH ME! I'VE BEEN SO VERY BAD! KEEP IT UP!" Chrysalis' ears drooped, then she got a wicked grin. It seemed as if she could have some fun with the solar mare. "Oh? So you have a dirty..." She stabbed the mare in the breasts, eliciting a moan. "Little..." Another stab, another groan. "Secret? You're into me beating the shit out of you? You want me to dominate you?" "I've almost hit my climax..." Chrysalis just spat. "Fine then. DIE!" She swung her kris at Celestia's head. Again, the blade clanged off with no effect. "OH~!" Celestia's armoured form began to bulge and bubble. Chrysalis backed up, keeping on the defensive from any magical trick that Celestia might pull. "I've always defended my little ponies... and it's been a while since anybody's punished me... made me admit my mistakes... and when I've been punished enough... I EXPLODE!" With that, a veritable horde of thorny vines sprang from Celestia's form, striking everything in the area, but focusing their fire on Chrysalis. She was battered black and blue by every single vine that made its way towards her. When it was over, she sagged, pushing herself up on her blade. Celestia dispelled the Three-star uniform. "Unfortunately for you, Queen Chrysalis, I cannot be defeated by just anybody. Junketsu may be the most powerful Kamui besides Senketsu himself, and you might have a lot of power, but you simply don't have the skill to use those advantages effectively. That said... I am willing to extend some mercy for you. Your resolve is impressive." Chrysalis grinned. "Don't... COUNT ON IT!" She flew forwards, kris upheld. Celestia dodged, wrapping her whip around Chrysalis. Then, she grinned. The resulting whip swings sent Chrysalis smashing into the barrier surrounding Canterlot. For maybe five minutes, Chrysalis was slammed and ground into the magical barrier. She was then jerked back, to the hooves of Celestia. "Are you still in need of discipline? Or can I count on a peace treaty?" Chrysalis propped herself up. "...fine. I surrender." Surrender was the best course of action. Celestia smiled benevolently. "That's good to hear. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a wedding to attend to." With a flash of yellow magic, she teleported back to the castle. > I am neither human or clothing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cadence drifted to the floor. "Okay, just what exactly are Kamui?" The dress didn't answer for a while. Then: "What is a Kamui? To answer that question, one must also ask a fundamental question: what are Life Fibres?" She glared down at the dress. "Alright. What, exactly, are Life Fibres?" "Life Fibres come from another planet entirely. Essentially, they are an almost symbiotic life form- in exchange for an increase in power, Life Fibres consume nerve energy. Unfortunately, if Life Fibres actually enter the body of their host without preparation, then the host will shortly die. That is why they evolved to be clothing. Ponykind did not choose clothing; rather, clothing chose you." Cadence frowned. "So you're an alien?" "Yes, and a benign one at that. My daughters share my personality, but it's unfortunate that Junketsu is too one-track minded to use my gifts correctly. As for the Shinra Koketsu... no. Shinra Koketsu was killed. I made sure of that." Before Cadence could probe further, the door suddenly burst open, revealing Luna in her standard attire. "HELLO NIECE CADENCE! HOW ART THOU-" She then spotted Senketsu and she froze. Then, the blood vessels in her eyes started to bulge. "Um, Auntie Luna...?!" She started to take in deep breaths. "Cadence, please remove thy clothing." "W-what?" Luna nodded. "Thou heard me. Remove thy clothing. He's a threat to Equestria." Senketsu turned his baleful eye on her. "It's a pleasure to see you again as well, Luna. How are you, Nyx?" "Hello Dad!" Cadence's eyes bulged. "I-is that-" "Yes." Cadence glared at him. "What exactly did you do?" Luna frowned. "Cadence, Senketsu very nearly doomed Equestria to fall into ruin due to his lies about the Primordial Life Fibre." "Primordial Life Fibre?" Luna nodded grimly. "Indeed. One thousand and five hundred years ago, the being known as the Primordial Life Fibre appeared from the oceans of Equestria." She flared her horn, and images appeared- of what looked like a huge, glowing orange spool of thread, appearing from the sea. "It gained a foothold, and eventually corrupted several beings. Senketsu elected to fight the being, but he neglected to mention the power of his traitorous child- the Shinra Koketsu!" A long, white, bushy robe floated into view, lined with red and hooded. "With its very being spun from the Primordial Life Fibre, the Shinra Koketsu dominated the world. The thing is, due to Senketsu's own reckless creation, it possessed the ability to completely nullify even the most powerful of the Kamui. Thanks to that, it meant that we had to fight without the Kamui, and though we might have had the power to stand against a normal Kamui, the combined power of the Shinra Koketsu and the Primordial Life Fibre meant that... we were beaten." Cadence looked down at Senketsu. "Is this true?" "Yes, it's true. Shinra Koketsu was my most precocious and powerful child, formed from the Primordial Life Fibre itself. Shinra Koketsu possessed the power of Complete Domination- no Life Fibre creature could stand against its might. This, combined with it being even more powerful than myself, meant that there weren't many who could stand against it. Plus, Discord had worn the garment. Can you imagine how powerful he was at that point? Even when the Primordial Life Fibre was destroyed did he show any real fear of being beaten." Princess Luna nodded, not taking an eye off of Senketsu as she prepared a spell. "Not even we could do any really meaningful damage without the Elements of Harmony. Only Senketsu was able to resist the power of his child, and destroyed it. He then had the gall to chastise us, and boasted of his adaptive abilities, and the fact that he was the only being that could fight against another Primordial Life Fibre. We fought him there and then, and though it was an uphill battle, we eventually prevailed. We bled his Absolute Domination ability off with the Elements of Harmony, and we sealed him beneath Canterlot." Her expression grew grim. "But the Primordial Life Fibre will never attack us here again, I know it." Senketsu shook his head. "You're wrong, Luna. The Life Fibres are capable of traversing the void of space. Another one will come, and when it does, you'll need me." "I grow tired of this. Senketsu, if thou art still the gentlestallion thou were, then endanger my niece not." Senketsu snorted, already removing himself. Cadence squeaked in embarasment and ran to cover herself up. "Though it may lead to my imprisonment yet again, I shall never willingly endanger an innocent again. Speaking off..." He affixed a glare on the Kamui that Luna wore. "NYX! I heard that you drove Luna into madness!" What do you have to say in your defence, young lady?" "Y-young lady?! I'm just as old as you are!" "WRONG! You're twenty years younger than I! Bah, it doesn't matter. I'll fight you both if I have to." Luna frowned, flicking the glove switch. Cadence and Senketsu watched her transform. When it cleared, her appearance had significantly changed. Rather than an elegant, form-fitting dress, she wore a tight corset, breasts threatening to escape the tightness of it. High stockings with garters stretched down her legs, and her arms were covered in black lace. "Life Fibre Synchrionize, Kamui Nyx!" Senketsu snorted. "Life Fibre Synchrionize, eh? It seems as if you are correctly wearing my daughter. You are truly wearing her now." Luna nodded. "Indeed. In order to stop you, Senketsu, there is nothing that we will not do. Whether that is strip in front of the populace, or degrade ourselves in front of Discord, we have no limits." Senketsu grinned, shooting forwards on a blast of magical energy. He spun around and around rapidly, the very air around him twisting and turning. "SENKETSU DRILL!" Senketsu's P.O.V, 1,505 years ago. I looked between the two. "... so you're sisters, huh." The shorter, dark blue one nodded. "Indeed, that we are." I shook myself. This was more than a bit weird. "But... you look nothing alike! You're white," I pointed at Celestia, "and you're dark blue. How are you related?" Luna frowned. "I represent the night, while Celestia represents the day. 'Twould be strange if we weren't those colours." She looks at me. "We have never felt a magic like yours. Pray tell, what is it?" "I am made of Life Fibres, a race of aliens who come from outer space." The truth is stranger than fiction, after all. They just stared at me as if I was a talking, magical dress that fed off of blood... OH WAIT! "Speaking of my strange origins, I'm going to need to feed off of blood. Just a little bit should do me fine. If that isn't too much of a problem." > Another awesome fight scene > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I grappled with Luna, my fabric body cushioning her physical blows like an absolute boss. Unfortunately, the momentum sent me smashing into a wall. Dust settled on me. I winced, brushing it off. If there was one thing I hated, it was getting dirty. Now I was a bit annoyed. I hated getting dirty! Hey, I'm made of cloth, cut me some slack. "Luna, was that-" I hastily rolled out of the way of a flying kick. The resulting kick demolished the next wall over. "Luna, was that really necessary?" Luna nodded. "Though we do respect your defeat of your own child, we must stop you here, Senketsu. Now, prepare thyself for thy brutal beating!" With that, she sent a powerful blast of magic careening towards me. I hastily flew out the way, espying a window in the distance. I gathered as much power as I could and flew towards that simple, solitary window, attempting to dodge her. She gave pursuit, midnight-blue wings beating frantically to catch up to me. I wasn't really interested in that part; escape was at hand! I flew out, shattering it with the sheer speed of my impact... ...only to come front to chest with Celestia. She seemed to be surprised with my sudden entrance, which was good. I absently noticed the Queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis, as well as Junketsu. I was going to have to reprimand that boy later. Nothing but trouble...\ Still, of all the things that could have possibly happened to me, this was the absolute worst. I looked up at her frowning face. "Morning." In response, she scissor-kicked me into the ground. Ow. I'd forgotten how tough the two of them were. Even without their Kamui, I gauged their effectiveness at about the Nui level; as in, really, REALLY fast, durable, and hitting like a truck. I looked up at Celestia as she approached. She looked down on me. "Senketsu, we really don't want to seal you away again. Please, go back to your cell and let us stop this pointless-" I rocketed towards her, shape-shifting myself a pair of black fists. I was never the kind of guy who went down without a fight. If I was seriously going to be forced back there, then I was going to fight back tooth and nail. "There is no such thing as a pointless fight! Those are the only ones worth fighting!" I slammed into her own kick. The air around us rippled, and the resulting shockwave shattered a couple of windows. I slid upwards, managing to punch Celestia in the face. She staggered slightly, the impact crater showing on the opposite wall. Celestia then charged right back at me. "Why do you resist? My sister and I only want to keep Equestria safe!" Her kick slammed me backwards, the sheer impact easily smashing a greater hole in the opposite building; about twice as large. Then again, I was only a piece of clothing, so physical impact didn't mean much to me. "I respect that, but I! AM! NOT! A THREAT!" With that, I charged forwards, activating my favourite attack. "SENKETSU TENGEN TOPPA DRILL!" Mr being transformed into a drill, and I rocketed forwards, already building up momentum for my daring escape. Celestia charged forwards on her own. Punch met drill, and the very ground started shaking. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, then the collateral damage is immense. The ground where we met cracked, fractures, then exploded. Shockwaves emminated outwards from our meeting, smashing those windows that hadn't suffered enough. Dust and small rocks shot away from us, embedding into several buildings in the next street over. And still we strained- I for my freedom, and Celestia to prevent me moving. But my momentum was still going. Slowly but surely, Celestia was being pushed backwards.I grinned. This was working! "Celestia, I apologise, but I want to see the world! I want an adventure! I want to be worn by people! And you cannot stop me for all your power!" She struggled. "I cannot risk another threat like the Primordial Life Fibre! You shall not leave!" "I'm sorry, my dear, but I cannot be allowed to stop! I couldn't stop even if I wanted to! As I spin on and on, I advance just a little bit forwards! That is a drill! That is Tengen Toppa! That is Gurren Lagann! NOW! TENGEN TOPPA... DRILL... BREAKER!!!!!!!" With that, my revolution spun faster and faster. We picked up speed. "Your body is invincible, and this barrier that surrounds us is impenetrable, right? In that case..." I grinned. "I'll just have to use you to break this shield!" In response, Celestia gripped my tip. "And that shan't happen!" Her wings flapped, trying to slow me down, but my resolve was limitless. "No..." she whispered. "Yes, I'm afraid." With that, I pierced the heavens themselves. Or, rather, whatever shield spell this was. With Celestia as my shield, I managed to smash through, onwards to glorious freedom! Or I would, had Celestia not gotten a tight grip on me. "You're truly determined not to let me go, are you?" In response, she shook her head. "I'll give you one chance, Senketsu. If whatever happened in the past ever happens again... then I shall be the one who shall tear you to pieces." With that, she let go, and I continued rocketing forwards. There was so much in this world that I had yet to see. I could hardly wait. Canterlot Celestia watched Senketsu disappear off into the distance, and sighed. "I might be making a huge mistake here." Luna shot up. "Sister, we can still catch him-" Celestia cut her off. "Well, I think we can afford Senketsu one day's head start? Besides, his power has been weakened by his stay in his prison. He is not as great a threat as he once was. Still." Her eyes hardened. "If he ever goes hostile, then I'm going to tear him to pieces." She then smiled. "Besides, we have a wedding that we are supposed to be attending, remember?" Luna nodded. "Very well. I can agree with that." Celestia stepped back. "By the way, deactivate your Kamui, please. You might not be ashamed, but Canterlot society are notoriously prudish, as you're well aware." Luna waved a hand dismissively. "In the words of the young, 'buck the Guard.' And thus it was that Shining Armour and Princess Cadence were married in the ruins of Canterlot Castle, with the former invader relegated to the back seats under a heavy, watchful guard. The invading swarm had mostly been blown away by Senketsu's violent exit, with those who were left supporting Chrysalis' peace talks. And far, far away, I was looking at the 'Tear.' Where I'd originally entered Equestria. Though the journey had been rough... and rather violent... and stripped my sense of self... I still liked looking at the Tear. With a thought, one of my Life Fibres detached. I threw it through the Tear and spoke. "I am Senketsu, Kamui. Those who want to wear me can do so by pulling on my threads." And with that, I turned back into a rocket and shot off towards adventure.
