An Assassin's Choice {Wings Of Fire Fanfic/AU}

Chapter 77: The Whole Kingdom

[What do you know? I like MLP songs. °\_(シ)_/°]

     Admiral Kenobi strolled down the palace halls contently. It was all peaceful and quiet, aside from the wingbeats of the SkyWings arriving and leaving the palace.

     He breathed in, long and relaxing, staring approvingly at the rows of lined up guards. Today was a truly perfect day; the only thing that could possibly make it more perfect would be Pink-Lemonade, but she and her group of four other SkyWings, were out on a mission at the SandWing-SkyWing border.

     He calmly sat down beside the empty throne. The Queen would return any minute now, and there was no reason to worry. Just as he had finally gotten completely comfortable, he was suddenly tackled and thrown to the ground.

     Admiral Kenobi gasped in shock, the attack catching him so off guard that he didn't even fight back.

     His attacker's face was obscured from his view, but he craned his neck and caught a glimpse of.. Pyre? She looked off somehow, though, she looked.. almost.. afraid, and.. confused... Admitted, the Admiral also felt confused, seeing as one of his own guards was attacking him, but-

     His train of thought was cut off as he heard screams erupting from other dragons in the palace. Quickly glancing around the room, he saw many oof his guards attacking other guards, even.. Queen Anarchy herself?

     This can't be right... What's going on? He was so focused on trying to come up with possible explanations that he hadn't noticed the NightWing approach.

    "Ah yes, the Admiral Kenobi. The only one higher ranked than you being General Sultan, but the yellow-bellied skink-horns ran off," Force hissed, bringing Kenobi back to reality,

    "Force? Is that- are you behind this?!" the Admiral huffed, trying his best to catch his breath while underneath another dragon.

    "Indeed! Not like you'll be able to do anything about it once I do this!" as she was yelling the last word, she shoved her talon right into his chest, though Admiral Kenobi felt no pain, just a stiffening chill lurking down his body. Before he could even process what just happened, the NightWing had torn something out of him, some thing that looked kind of like... Wait is that my shadow?!

     He could no longer feel himself moving his body, his body was moving on its own.

    "What- what did you do to me!?" he cried as his body stood up. As he did, Pyre stared at him with an expression that read 'you're going to get us both killed!'

    "It's a long story that I already told and don't want to retell," she sighed. "Now, I HAVE A FEW KINGDOMS TO CONQUER!" she exclaimed, laughing maniacally.

     As she walked toward the exit to the palace, all of the now 'possessed' SkyWings (and a few of the other tribe-dragons that happened to be there at that specific time) followed her, including Kenobi himself.

     They all watched her in fear, confusion, anger, and a whole plethora of other emotions as she glared out into the distance. She began to hum a villainous tune.

    "This day has been just perfect; the kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small." she sang. "Everybody I'll soon control! Hunt them down and take their soul! Who says a girl can't really have it all?"

     Admiral Kenobi exchanged a confused glance with the dragon next to him.

    "Soon I'll control the whole Sky and Shadow Kingdoms! And who says I'll stop there?" the ambitious ShadowWing smirked.

     Oh no.. this might be the truly worst thing we've ever faced so far... the Admiral thought with great concern. If we don't stop her, the Sky Kingdom and it's residents might end up in ruins.. or worse...
