New chapter. Nothing else to say but enjoy.

Wrath V

Oh my blood was pumping at the thought of Greed about to open a can of whoopass on the muscle bound lizard. But then something occurred to me, wouldn't he be made the new king when he won?

I though he didn't want to be king? Oh well who cares I just want to see some action!

As we were flying to the site where the battle was to be held I sensed a familiar presence below. Looking down I caught sight of a familiar figure.

He was currently walking through the crowd of dragons on the ground but I could still make him out easily, he stood a solid six foot five with his shoulder length red hair blowing in the light breeze. His bipedal stature and lack of fur easily marked him as human.

He wore a simple red cloak over a black tee with a bloody skull on the front, black jeans and a pair of red high tops. Strapped to his left side was a katana with a red handle.

I knew who this was instantly and I grew a smile on my face as I flared my power a little. The human seemed to break his stride for a second before looking right up at me.

His black outlined red eyes widened when he saw me before a smile split his face. In an instant he was right in front of me in midair using his magic to fly.

Performing a mock bow he says, "well it is an honor to see you again Master. I didn't expect you to be here."

Ah it was nice to hear my old follower speaking to me again after so long. I truly missed the giant monkey if I had to be honest but I would never say that out loud.

"Oh stop your blubbering Red Wing. I was just about to see Greed wipe the floor with his brother before I saw you, now come along as this is one fight I don't want to miss."

Not waiting to see if he was following I take off to land a couple minutes later in a large clearing near the others. Red Wing lands not a few moments later casting a curious glance to the newcomers but otherwise not doing anything.

Standing only fifty yards away from us is Greed and Slate staring at each-other both sizing up the other.

Then out of nowhere Greed calls out, "Spike come out here. I think you should be the one to show this waste of scales his place."

Now that took all of us by surprise but made Spike smile in a way very much like Greed when he is about to kill someone he hates. It made me shiver in fear and I actually started to pity the muscle head if only a little bit.

Slate let loose a booming laugh at this obviously unaware of the pain that was coming his way in the near future. "oh Talon how pathetic! You know you can't beat me and instead you send the hatchling to take your beating for you? Your weaker than I thought!"

Everyone tensed expecting Greed to tear the lizard apart for insulting his honor, yet Greed didn't let this faze him as he looked at Slate and said, "oh please. The only reason I'm letting him fight is because you aren't worth the second it would take to kill you. After all Spike needs the experience so why not let him get some?"

Slate grit his teeth in anger at being looked down on but didn't say anything else as Spike took Greed's place as Greed stood with us. All of us were looking at him in surprise that he actually turned down killing something. This was unheard of! Maybe being with his family and having two mares as potential mates for life have changed Greed into a better drake?

"If all of you keep staring at me I swear I will slap your eyes into one socket."

Nope still the same old Greed. Well might as well see what he taught Spike if he's as good as Greed's been saying then this fight should be nothing to him.

It was but a few seconds later that Slate let loose an earth shaking roar and charged Spike ready to deliver a devastating punch only for said drake to disappear in a burst of pure speed and appear on top of Slate's head with a bored look on his face.

Slate just stood there dumbly wondering where his target went making all of us snicker at the stupidity of the muscle bound lizard.

Spike caste a bored look at Greed silently asking for permission to end this farce of a fight. Greed gave a nod to the younger drake making Spike sprout a large grin.

The purple drakes legs tensed before suddenly leaping high into the air. He went up a good distance before gravity once again took hold and he began to plummet to earth.

The sound of passing air quickly alerted Slate and he turned to the sky to see what the disturbance was. He saw the danger too late as Spike's foot impacted his face.

Even from where we were standing we heard the crunch as the bones in Slate's face shattered from the blow. We saw as the larger drakes face caved in before he was driven into the ground creating a large dustcloud. I waited in rapt anticipation of what was inside and before long the cloud lifted to reveal a smiling Spike standing over the broken form of his older brother.

Said brother's face looked broken beyond all repair as blood slowly pooled around his head. Thankfully for the drake he would live but he would never look the same.

Looking at the others expressions most were of shock and awe while Greed's was one of obvious pride in his sibling's victory. Rarity though looked about ten seconds away from jumping the dragon and making a batch of hybrids right then and there.

From what I saw Spike was very strong. Stronger then any of the previous followers and he wasn't even finished with his training yet! Greed's brother was interesting before but now I really want to spar with him and really test his limits if Greed lets me.

Walking back to us Spike says in a cool tone, "so now that asshole is down for the count let's go meet my supposed parent's eh?"

Well hope you liked the next chapter and the introduction of Wrath's old follower Red and/or Pm me. Until then, Nicranger out.
