Twilight and her friends could only stare at the creatures that had attacked their home. Their leader just had a smug grin on his face not caring about the house he just set on fire. The minotaur just looked at them all with a bored look on his face.

"What are you bastards doing here?" Rainbow yelled while standing to her feet with Applejack doing the same.

"Surely you are not that stupid." Draknik mocked.

"Why you..." Rainbow growled out and took a step forward.

"Rainbow! He's trying to anger you."

"Very observant of you. Here I thought you were the smart one."

Twilight just narrowed her eyes at him while her horn glowed.

"My my. Temper temper." Draknik shook a claw at her.

"Didn't you bastards do enough? You attacked our home and yet you came back here again?" Applejack spoke up this time while standing next to Rainbow.

"Then again I'm not surprised. Your bastards did fail. How sad that you outnumbered us yet all you buddies fell to just one person."

Draknik lost the smug smile on his face and was now glaring at them.

"It was...a miscalculation on our part."

"Don't you mean yours?" Krummaruk spoke while digging into his ear with a finger.

"Last time I checked we are partners. So... it is both our mistakes."

"Partners is too nice. If you had only done what..." Krummaruk stopped when he noticed the girls were looking at him. "It doesn't matter. What matters is now."

"Who are you two?"

"It doesn't matter since you all going to die. But so that you know who sent you to Tarturus. I am Draknik. The brute is Krummaruk."

"You seriously are giving out our names?"

"Why does it matter? They are going to die, and since they know our names, it gives us a reason to wipe out this pathetic town. No witnesses."

Krummaruk glared at him.

"I am only here for one person, and I don't see him."

"You don't want to fight them?" Draknik pointed to Applejack and Rainbow.

Krummaruk stared at them.

"No."

"Are you saying we weak?"

"I'm not saying it."

Rainbow and Applejack glared at him.

"I know it."

"You bastard!" Rainbow roared while flying towards with a fist poised to strike.

"Rainbow!" Twilight yelled trying to stop her.

Rainbow yelled and threw her fist forward where it slammed into Krummaruk face with him not even moving. He just stared at her with a bored look before he began smiling showing his teeth. Pulling his right fist back he threw it slamming into Rainbow face sending her flying backward through the building.

"You darn bastard!"

Krummaruk just caught the fist that was swung at him by Applejack. He just stared at her even as she pulled her fist away and spun while throwing her leg upwards to where it slammed into his face.

Applejack had a look of shock on her face.

"I put everything into that kick!"

"So you saying you're strong?" Krummaruk asked only to receive a glare.

"Why be strong?" He pulled his fist back before throwing it forward yelling. "When there is stronger!?"

The fist slammed into Applejack stomach sending her flying through the same hole that Rainbow went through.

"APPLEJACK!"

"Don't take your eye off the enemy." Draknik taunted while his imps rushed the ponies.

Twilight grabbed two of them with her magic and slammed them into the ground only to summon a shield around herself and Fluttershy as the two attacked her just to be blocked by her barrier.

Pinkie was smiling while dodging left and right causing the imps to growl in annoyance. They were trying to tear this pony apart only for her to keep avoiding everything that they threw at her.

"STOP MESSING AROUND AND KILL THEM!"

"It would be easier if you just do it yourself," Krummaruk spoke while crossing his legs and sitting down.

"Why don't you help them!?"

"Last time I checked they were your soldiers," Krummaruk spoke.

"Got you bastard!"

Krummaruk turned just to be punched and kicked in the face by both Applejack and Rainbow. He just stared at them as if they were insects. Rainbow had blood dripping down her face with a few small pieces of splinters in her and her clothes being torn in a few places. Applejack just had her clothes torn in a few spots.

"You two are out of your league."

"Don't underestimate us you bastard!"

Krummaruk just gave both of them a bored look.

Draknik growled from his perch. There was no way these ponies should have lasted this long. It was impossible.

He heard a scream. Glancing over he saw one of his imps was standing over the white mare who was holding a piece of...her hair. Never the less he smiled when his soldier raised a claw up in the air getting ready to separate her head from her body.

"Rarity! MOVE!"

The imp swung down only to be shocked when the mare caught its hand and was squeezing it causing it to squeal in pain and dropped to its knees trying to pry its hand free while the mare stood to her feet. The imp glared up at her only to freeze when it saw her eye were pure white and her hair was whipping around like tentacles.

"You messed up my hair! Prepare for a makeover!"

Before the imp could react, it was lifted into the air only to be slammed into the ground causing a large hole with small cracks going through the ground and a small earthquake.

The imps cold only stare in shock at the mare. They took a step back in fear when they saw she turned towards them with the same look.

"What are you doing. You Useless scum! They just ponies!" Draknik roared in anger only to move his head to the side when a purple magic bolt flew past his head.

"You and your friend need to leave. I won't repeat it."

Draknik growled.

Krummaruk still sat in the same spot all the while he just stared at the ponies who had not stopped hitting him or kicking him. One of them had even slammed a rock into his head only for it to shatter.

"If you going to attack me at least make it hurt."

Rainbow and Applejack glared at him while panting from exhaustion.

"What...the...buck...are you?"

Krummaruk just stared at them. Before turning towards Draknik whoose hands began to glow.

"Your friends will be in trouble soon."

They followed his gaze only for their mouths to drop open in shock.

Draknik was growling so loud that the tree he stood in seemed like it was shaking. He was done being made a fool of. If you want someone killed right, you kill them yourself. He roared while summoning a shield in his left hand and a double bladed sword in his right.

The shield was round and was made of some type of dark metal that reflected no light off it with a skull in the middle of it. Around the edges were small spikes with blood red tips.

The sword he held looked to made of the same material. The entire part of the blades was serrated with blood red tips. The pommel that connected the swords together was black with there being two small skulls with their mouths open and the blades coming out of them.

"Seems like you not all talk after all," Krummaruk spoke while raising to his feet.

"Shut up." Draknik then turned towards his minions while raising his sword towards them.

The imp's eyes widened in fear, and they turned to flee.

"Oblivion hungers." The sword glowed a dark blood red before shooting out red tentacles that stabbed into the imps chest.

The ponies watched in horror when they saw the imps open their mouths to scream only for nothing to come out and they watched them fall to the ground. Their bodies began to shrink and wrinkle while the tentacles seemed to be drinking them. Soon the bodies were absorbed leaving nothing behind except the tentacles which soon returned to the sword which began glowing even brighter.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

"YOU KILLED YOUR OWN FRIENDS!?" Rainbow yelled.

"Friends? Hardly. They are just food for my sword. Nothing more." Draknik taunted while he body began glowing and to their amazement, they watched as he started growing taller.

"Did he just get bigger?"

Draknik was now standing at six foot tall with bulging muscles.

"Today I dine on pony stew." His voice was even more profound.

Krummaruk just snorted.

Draknik growled and rushed towards Twilight who summoned a barrier as he swung his sword down. The barrier broke causing all the ponies eyes to widen in shock.

"Weak!" Draknik slammed his shield into her causing her to fly backward and slam into a building and sliding down.

"TWILIGHT!"

"You're next."

"Try it bastard!"

Rainbow and Applejack rushed forward only to move out of the way when he swung his sword horizontally. Coming out of it was a curved red beam that sliced through a building causing it to fall to the ground.

"Sorry. I just don't know my own strength."

The two replied by throwing kicks at him only for him to block it with his shield and with one strong push he threw them causing them to skid across the ground a few times before slamming into the tree with both spitting out blood.

"Three down."

His face turned to the side when he felt a fist slam into his face. Glaring he saw the white mare who had a shocked look on her face.

"For a pony, you not bad looking. But you would look so much more beautiful with blood on you!" Draknik roared.

Rarity had only a second to summon a barrier when his sword slammed into her sending her flying backward.

Draknik snorted when he saw her slam into a wagon causing it to break and for the pieces to fall on top of her body while she just let out a groan of pain.

"This is just too easy."

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Draknik blinked and opened his eyes to the mare who was cowering before now in his face with an angry look on her face.

"YOU DO NOT UMPH!"

Draknik grabbed her face and turned while swinging her like a club to slam into Pinkie who was trying to hit Draknik with a frying fan. Fluttershy could only let out a whimper of pain laying on top of Pinkie who swirls in her eyes.

"Two for the price of one. Must be my lucky day!" Draknik let out a deep dark laugh while raising his sword poised to stab into the two only to stop and frown when he felt something slam into his back.

Turning he saw Twilight was standing to her feet though shakily with her hand raised glowing with magic. Looking over he saw Applejack and Rainbow both standing with blood dripping down their faces.

"You three surely don't think you can beat me can you?"

The three reply was to glare causing him to laugh.

"Quite persistent aren't yall."

Rainbow and Applejack tried to take a step forward only to fall down on their knees. Twilight remained standing though it looked like it took all her willpower to keep herself up.

"Since you still standing I guess you can die first."

Before Twilight could react Draknik was standing in front of with her face grasped in his hand picking her up, he threw her body into the wall followed up by a knee into her stomach then a punch to her face making her fall to the side only for him to grab her by the throat choking her for a few seconds before tossing her to the ground.

"As fun as this has been its time to end it." Draknik spoke while raising his sword in the air while Twilight just glared up at him.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Draknik turned towards the voice only to be hit in the face by green fire. The flames did nothing to him but just annoyed him. When they stopped, he saw a young dragon glaring at him with eyes turned into slits.

"You can't be serious?"

"If you don't want to be roasted you will leave them alone!"

"S...spike," Twilight muttered while trying to get up but only to fall down.

"Looks like we have a volunteer."

Spike could feel the sweat dripping down his face. He was calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was a wreck. He was scared, but he wanted to protect his friends.

Draknik just laughed as he began making steps towrads the dragon. He was in no horry nor was in any rush. He might just take his time with this one. Slowly skin him alive and listening to his screams that will be heard.

Spike gathered flames into his lungs. He knew it might not work, but he had to try. He collected as much as he could and let it build up to the point that it began to hurt but he could not stop.

Draknik stopped right in front of him and saw Spike who looked like he was gathering his flames. He couldn't help but find it hilarious.

"You already tried dragon. Your flames cannot hurt me!"

Spike answered his boast by opening his mouth and let the flames out and aimed it towards him.

Draknik just stood there with a smile even as the flames engulfed him.

Spike put everything he had into it. He could feel his chest hurting, but he would not stop. He was going to save his friends. Even if he had to give up his life.

The flames went on for minute all the while Spike never stopped once. Krummaruk just watched all this with a bored look before letting out a yawn.

Spike finally closed his mouth and collapsed down on one knee panting profoundly but he never took his eyes off the spot where his flames were. His eyes widened in fear though when he saw a figure in flames, and as the fire went away, he saw Draknik who stood there with a smug grin.

"I told you. You are just a weak dragon. The runt of your kind."

Spike didn't say anything back but glared at him even as Draknik raised his sword above his head.

"Don't worry. I will be sending your friends with you to Tartarus!"

Spike watched as the blade approached and he could feel his heart beating faster and faster as it got closer. Was this how he died? His friends too?

The blade was an inch away from his face but stopped causing his eyes to widen.

Draknik glanced at his sword to see it had stopped but he also felt something gripping his arm tight to the point it was hurting him. Glancing over he saw some strange thing. He never saw it before. It wasn't a pony or anything for that matter.

Garyx stood there glaring at Draknik with his hand gripping his arm tight.

"Who the hell are you?"

"How about you fight someone who can fight back."

Garyx pulled back on Draknik arm causing him to stumble back only to raise his shield to block the blade that was swung at his head. Draknik eyes widened when he felt himself skid back a few feet and he felt the bones in his arm rattle.

"Garyx?"

Hearing his name, he turned towards Spike who was glancing at him with...relief?

"Huh? Did they strike you so you forgot my name?"

Spike developed a tick mark on his head.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?"

"You seem to think that I care for you all. I merely here for a fight."

"How dare you interfere with my kill!"

"Shut it. I am all up for a good fight, but the fact that you go after those who can't fight back means you a coward."

Draknik roared and rushed towards Garyx who looked bored at him.

"I kill anyone who I want!"

Draknik jumped in the air while swinging his sword down.

"You annoying," Garyx spoke while swinging his weapon upward.

Draknik smirked when he saw his blocked leaving Garyx opened. Pulling his shield back he turned it to where the spikes were pointing forward and thrust it forward.

"Die!"

Garyx moved his head to the side dodging the spike while transforming his hand into a talon and thrust forward while Draknik eyes widened as Garyx hand tore through his chest and out the other side with his beating heart.

"You first!"

Garyx pulled back causing blood to spray while dropping the heart as Draknik fell on his back with eyes wide open and unmoving.

Garyx turned towards Krummaruk who looked at him with a bored look.

"Next."

Spike just stared in shock. This thing just whipped the floor with him and his friends and yet was killed this easily?

"I hope you are a better than your friend here."

"Draknik was never strong, to begin with. His death was due to overconfidence." Krummaruk spoke while moving his head to the side causing his neck to let out several pops.

"You're better?"

The two stared at each for a few seconds before rushing at each other. Both of them swung their weapons at each other head causing the two to connect sending sparks out.

The two pushed against each other. Krummaruk just had a big smile while Garyx was growling. Krummaruk shoved forward pushing Garyx back who brought his weapon up to block the strike aimed at his chest. He stumbled back when a fist slammed into his chin causing him to stumble backward.

Garyx growled while gathering flames and shot it at Krummaruk who just smiled and raised his hand. Garyx eyes widened when he saw his opponent grabbed the flames and squeezed them into a ball then tossed it to the side.

"Have to try harder then than that."

Garyx only had time to raise his weapon up to block the strike that would have sliced his arm off. He soon found himself being pushed back and forced to block in every direction. Every time he blocked, he could feel his bones rattling.

Garyx let out a roar and spun around while thrusting his weapon forward where it stabbed into Krummaruk stomach and out the back.

Garyx smiled only to become confused when Krummaruk began chucking.

"That's more like it! LET'S KICK IT UP A NOTCH SHALL WE!?"

Krummaruk reached down and grabbed Garyx weapon and pulled it into him while stabbing his sword into the ground next to him to swing an uppercut at Garyx where it slammed into his chin knocking him into the air.

"Scream for me!" Krummaruk roared while grabbing Garyx foot then slammed into the ground once before picking him up and slamming into a different spot on the ground then tossed him to the side where Garyx skid across the ground only to stop himself in a kneeling position.

"COME ONE! DON'T DISAPPOINT ME!"

Krummaruk picked his sword up and rushed towards Garyx who turned his right hand into a talon. Taking a step to the left, he dodged the sword while grasping his weapons and with a firm pull yanked from Krummaruk body. Letting out a roar Garyx began swinging rapidly at Krummaruk who just laughed as his body was getting cut up.

Garyx roared thrusting both his weapon and talon right into Krummaruk chest where his heart would be. Garyx smirked only for his eyes to widen when Krummaruk grabbed his hand that was turned into a claw.

Krummaruk smiled showing off his teeth.

"Hello there."

Garyx felt the kick slam into his stomach knocking him back a few feet only to feel a hand wrap around his throat. Glancing down he saw his opponent just to see he was frowning at him.

"Is this all you can do? I came here for a fight only to find myself disappointed?"

Garyx gathered flames into his mouth. How dare this bastard call him weak. Knocking the hand away from his throat he placed both his feet on Krummaruk shoulder and was standing above him.

"I SHOW YOU WHOSE WEAK!" Garyx roared while opening his mouth and shooting flames right on Krummaruk face.

GAryx stood there doing it for a minute only to stop when he felt his foot was grabbed. Before he could react, he was thrown into the side of one of the buildings.

Garyx spat out blood off to the side and glanced over only to his opponent was standing there with a few flames burning his face but didn't show any sign of discomfort.

"You are a disappointment. Here I was looking for a worthy challenge only to find myself great disappointment."

Garyx growled while gathering flames while his chest hurt. He was planning on teaching this bastard a lesson. He didn't care if his dragon form was going to cause him pain. All he could see through was a bloody haze.

Krummaruk just stared as Garyx burst into flames and stood in his dragon form roaring at him with flames shooting out his body. Garyx rushed toward Krummaruk who stood there with a bored look. He watched him swung his fist upward where it slammed into his face sending flying to the side and into the wall of a building.

Garyx let out a cough that blood in it. Glancing up he saw Krummaruk approaching him through a blurry haze.

Krummaruk stared down at his opponent with a bored look even as he yanked the weapon out and tossed it down at Garyx.

"You were a disappointment," Krummaruk spoke while raising his sword above his head only to stop when he saw himself glowing a light green.

'Looks like the jig is up.' He thought annoyed and glanced over to see Draknik body glowing as well.

"Lucky dog."

Garyx tried to glare but was barely keeping himself awake.

"When we next meet don't disappoint me."

The last thing Garyx saw and heard before darkness was Krummaruk laughter and a flash.
