My Little Arrival

Ch.18: Walk into The Fire

Tirek grinned, resting on the couch. Life was great for the Lord. Chrysless was brewing him some coffee. He had to admit that his goals were going well. The residence providers were disposed of, The Princesses and those annoying Mane 6 were nowhere to be found, and I would not be a problem. "That is a good thing" he said to himself. It was to his benefit that I never knew my family history.

"Tirek!" came a voice as Cozy flew in, hooves crossed. "Just what did you do when you and Chrysless were gone?"

Tirek grinned. "I took care of the human's parents."

He smirked as Sombra trotted in, his horn blasting purple magic at the centaur. Tirek opened his mouth and drank it, smiling as he grew another foot. "You two have been useful. But now, you have turned on your Lord. When we went on this mission, I plainly said to never turn on me, or question me. You two have failed" he said as Chrysless walked in. "Chrysless, put them in chains."

Before the two could react, Sombra fell to the ground, his hooves chained up, and a muzzle on his head. Cozy then met the same unfortunate reality. The two looked up in fear as Tirek rose. "First, this world burns. Then, you two will die for your treason."

Oh yes, he had won.

"Welcome to Burger King, my name is Anna, May I take your order?"

Kayla smiled. I had offered to buy us lunch before we went to do the thing. Our tastebuds craved the same thing- A Whopper and a large fry. After getting the food, Kayla parked. About a 3-minute drive away at most, the Legion would be waiting.

"Kayla?" I said quietly. "I just wanted to let you know that I love you."

Kayla smiled, clasping my left hand. "And I love you until the end David. Let's enjoy this. Then we'll see what happens."

That sounded good to me.

Tirek stood at the point. Below the pavement was the Star. He had to raise it with the glasses, then the fun could begin. Next to him was Chrysless, only waiting. Her job, as soon as Tirek raised the star, was to address the Earth's population. To boast that the world was now theirs.

Tirek smiled, turning to Sombra and Cozy. "This could have been your victory as well. But you two chose to be kind to these little insects."

He then raised an eyebrow as that Blue Ford Mustang he saw in my driveway earlier pulled up. Kayla and I got out, linking hands, and walking over.

Chrysless snorted. "You two realize this is foolish? You are just as lacking in brains as Celestia." Tirek, however, was more thoughtful. He respected our resolve.

Cozy and Sombra looked at us, eyes widened in horror. They pleaded for us to go. Try to run. However, destiny still arrives all the same, no matter our reactions.

As we walked up, simply staring at Tirek and Chrysless, the two had their mouths open. Tirek planned to kill me, and Chrysless planned to drain Kayla of her emotions, then rid of her.

What we heard next can only be described as the drop. A landing so powerful that it knocked Tirek and Chrysless off their hooves.

I slowly turned around, chuckling as Fluttershy and Celestia embraced Kayla and I in a hug. Chrysless growled. She had long hated Celestia, and today was the final battle. But as the two parted, Chrysless could only widen her eyes. The rest of the Mane 6 and Spike stood there, ready to help. They were not who Chrysless widened her eyes at.

At first, she thought she was staring at Cadence. This was not Cadence. This was her daughter, Princess Flurry Heart, now fifteen. She could only smirk. "Today is your end, Chrysless! As for you, Tirek, death has come for you. When you opened the gates to Hell, your God came to bring justice."

She then stood aside, revealing the one and only Discord. Unlike the Discord I would come to know later who would make me roll my eyes or keel over with laughter, this one made me shudder. Discord stared Tirek down. Tirek's face was white. Yes, the so-called Lord was scared for his life.

"It's been ten years now" Discord said, walking over, staring Tirek down. "Then you decided to come back because of some savior malarky. I have learned friendship and kindness, but when you two decided to start killing, the stakes raised. Blueblood. Cadence... her" he said, looking down, tears forming in his eyes. "It was her choice, but you took her away from me! But I do not want to beat you in a magic battle" he said smiling. "No, we do it how ponies used to. A fight" he said.

The Mane 6 meanwhile was running around, trying to get people to safety inside the store. Chrysless had her eyes locked with Celestia and Luna, a giant bubble over the three. Discord smirked and used his paw to lift Tirek up, staring at him like one does at ice cream.

"Let's dance!"
