From Knives to Talons(AC & WOF Crossover)

Chapter 14: Karma has a Stinger and his Name is Scorpio

Chapter 14: Karma has a stinger, and his name is Scorpio-----Scorpio's POV----------In the scorpion den, sunrise----- Ahhhhhhhh the Scorpion den, the one place on this moons forsaken rock I doubted I would come back to, yet here I am, looking for the fuckwit who kicked my tail daily. I thought, a cheeky smile spreading across my face, before immediately frowning, if there is one thing I know, smiling in this dry lump of rock is considered a weakness, and will usually cause a conflict, and I both don't want to alert Meerkat that I'm hunting his ass like a scavenger and a dragon's treasure, and I really don't want to use my 'abilities' right now, they could attract even more attention than any other brawl.
As I strolled through the filthy, and dry road, I scanned for anyone who could be a threat, aswell for any stalls of which I could take a cloak from, or some other shit I could steal. I guess old habits really do die hard.
Eventually coming across a stall, I grabbed a scorpion brown cloak with a excessively large hood, and left behind a coin, before putting it on, and covering my entire face Thank fuck this fabric is semi-see through I thought as I walked down the street, thinking about all the memories I had with this mofo, and I can hardly think of any positive ones.
As I stopped walking, I looked at the building in front of me, a house that wasn't much bigger than a small scavenger den, the clay making of the base full of cracks and dust, the wood that held it up mouldy and breaking. Holy shit without me this place is falling apart. "Excuse me sir, but why are you staring at my home?" An old Dragon said, staring at me questioningly, before continuing "Who are you anyways? One of thorns special guards?"
I smirk deviously, before asking; "why yes I am, and I'm looking for the thief known as the 'Three tailed stinger', do you have any idea where he is?"
The stranger then put his talon on his chin, thinking, before saying "He moved, said something about becoming one of Burn's guard to hunt down someone he called a 'little fecker', well before she died anyway", before pointing towards the stronghold, before smiling kindly, and then going into the house. I couldn't help but smile, and then leave a diamond I stole from the stall on his doorstep, under the piece of wood that was supposed to be the doormat, then flew towards Thorn's palace, thinking the whole time got to play this smart, after fucking her over so many times in the past, I'd be surprised if she showed any mercy to me if I'm caught.
-----Timeskip, midday-----
After arriving near her stronghold, I hid behind a large dune, and looked at the towers on the outskirts, searching for any sentries, spotting 5 atop each tower. I then take off my cloak and tuck it into a pouch around my neck, before crouching close to the ground, and sneak over towards the right tower, and climbing into a window, and seeing what seems like a storage area, full of labeled boxes. One that caught my eye however, was the box that said 'Dragonfire cacti', and a huge box of threads. I smirk evilly.
As I attach a cord to the box, I slowly walk out, before setting the cord gently down, and breathing the smallest flame on it, the flame traversing through the rope like water down a stream, meaning fast as fuck. When the rope went into the building, all the guards scrambled their sadasses down there, only to be greeted by an explosion that I thought even the people in the palace felt, and I think I saw a few seed pods fly past my head, and even a few punctured the hard stone of the palace and the other tower. Oops.
As I sneak closer to the mess, I check on the guards, and to be honest, 1 or 2 of them could be alive, although missing 3 or 4 limbs, and are crippled, the other 3 however where literally covered inch by inch in seed pods, from their maw, to their claws, to the very tip of their tail, there was a seed pod. After checking on the sorry lot, I make my way to some cover, and look through a hole, seeing Thorn and a small army's worth of guards walk up to the 5 guards, and harshly vomit. "Find the one who did this, and triple all the guards, the bastard that did this is likely still here!" she yelled, picking up a rock, and then throwing it away in frustration.
My ass is toast if she figures out it's me. Is all I could think as I look through the hole, looking at the guards. No not him, he doesn't have a missing eye, no not her, not him, Meerkat doesn't get an erection spontaneously, despite being a sadist, and he just looks like he doesn't want to be here, Meerkat isn't in this crowd. I quickly take out some throwing knives and my rapier, and wait. After about 16 minutes of 'searching', and by that I mean, look left and right, chatter, and a few smashing at one point, most of the army left to check the palace and the other tower.
Seeing the perfect opportunity, I jumped from my cover, surprising the whole crowd and throwing my knives, hitting 6 of them in various spots, killing them almost instantly, and then starting combat with a guard, who simply attempted to stab me with his spear and tail. Idiot left his thigh exposed. With a simple Sidestep and block, I flipped my sword and violently swiped up, his spear now in the air, before slashing his thigh, crippling him, before I spin and slit his throat, doing an elegant bow as I did so, before catching the fallen guards spear, and throwing it to another's heart, hitting it straight on, before turning to the last 7.
"Can we hurry up, I'm kinda in a hurry, And I don't want my ass to be hounded down by my boss." I said, walking up to the guards, who by now were looking at one another, before they all charged at me. Seeing these brave dickbags charge at me, I smile and get into a stance, ready to block and parry any attacks they have ready. As they charged at me, I noticed a single cactus , smiling, I impaled it on my Rapier, before tossing it in their direction, and spewing a flame, igniting it and sending pods everywhere. I somehow miscalculated in my assault, and got a seed pod launched into my good arm, deep too, making me drop my rapier in surprise, before I see the guards on the ground, not dead but incapacitated.
As I walked away, I flicked the blood off my blade, before getting behind another chunk of rubble, before I peek out to see how many guards are hounding the castle, and, unsurprisingly, there where more guards than I could handle under normal circumstances, but no one is going to stop me from making Meerkat suffer!
As I willed myself to change to my other form, I thought about all the times meerkat made me suffer, every kick, every cut, every night of bleeding and starving, and soon enough, I feel my body warp, my scales becoming more streamline, 2 extra tails erupting from my back, and the scales around my face tearing open, making a bloody tear-like mark flow down from my eyes. I always felt like it was supposed to hurt, to feel my body change, but like the others, I've grown numb to it. It's like they say, 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'
As I finished, I stepped out from behind the rubble, and waved to get the guards attention, and, sure enough, I see a huge battalion of guards fly toward me. "Yes, come to me, so that I may make your flesh rot in the sunlight~~~" I say eerily, fully aware that when I'm done, I'll have to move fast if I want to catch the fucktard, and boy, was I ready for some carnage.
----Timeskip, 2:30 pm-----
I did it, took half an hour but these disappointments were all slaughtered. And now, comes the piece of resistance: hunting down that F̴̟̅Ṷ̸͖̓̉C̴̣͕̒̔̄K̸̘̼̣̩͈̿̈́́͐E̶̼͓̚͜͝R̶̡͇̽!̴̢͕̝̟̋͜͝ ! I look over to the castle, and smile insanely, before spreading my wings and taking to the air, creating a small cloud of sand behind me, and flying as fast as I could toward the large old castle, speeding like a large sandy arrow.
----Thorn's PoV----
As I pace on my balcony, I glance over to what is left of the 2 towers (MD290: A reference to one of my favorite franchises), and ponder. 'They haven't come back for a while, what is taking them so long?' I thought, worry slowly spreading through my body like a poison, before I turned to the nearest guard and called them over, and questioned why the other guards have not returned, "Where are the troops sent out there? They should have returned by now, send out another squad t-- What are you looking at?" I growled, before following his gaze and felt my very blood freeze.
What is that?
It's getting ever so slowly bigger...
Are those wings?
"WHERE IS MEERKAT?!" The 'Dragon' roared out in rage, before his wings folded in and his body molded back to a more inconspicuous shape, looking around, his cloak bellowing in the wind dramatically, "WHERE IS HE?!" he yelled stomping on the ground, creating large cracks on the ledge, before turning to me, and smirking, before running at me and pointing one of his stingers at my jugular, and whispering in a sickly sweet fashion "You of all people should know, thorny" (WOF1227: XD insert lewd joke here) At that moment i immediately knew who it was, and I felt fury like I've never felt before,and I rip the hood of his cloak violently, before flying backwards away from him.
"Awww, not happy to see your sibling?" (WOF1227: wait you never told me they were siblings) (MD290: It's no fun if it's not a surprise) (WOF1227: I forgot you said you had a surprise idea) He said in a fake hurt accent, before smirking and smiling with a menacing glint in his eye, before frowning and continuing his monologue "Look I don't want to be here anymore than you want me to be here, so just give me the dragon I'm looking for and I'll piss off" "Oh, so no riddles then, no reason why you killed my guards then? Explain yourself, before I drown you in your own blood!" I yell, enraged at the discovery of my brother's ruthlessness, first it was when he left me with mother after father left, then he stole from us, almost murdered Stonemover, and finally disappeared. "Why do you wish to see Meerkat? And don't bother lying to big sissy" (WOF1227: wtf...) I growled, secretly activating my weapon, and flying into him, being blocked by a rapier
"Where did you get that? I only know two people who own a wrist blade like that, and they keep it under lock and key." He said in disbelief, before breaking the clash, and charging at me with his stinger raised and his rapier aiming for my wrist blade. I quickly ducked and raked my blade against his stomach, and kicked his kneecap, forcing him to collapse onto the floor, "Why I slaughtered those pieces of shits? Easy, 1: they were too busy having 'fun' to do their one job, 2: They were in my way to look for that old bastitch (WOF1227: look familiar to anyone?), and 3: one of them looked at me funny" He said without displaying any visible pain, before standing back up and flipping over me and swiping at my back, slashing at my wings violently, leaving deep cuts, before rushing a nearby guard, stabbing them through the neck, and violently twisting the blade, and kept twisting until a sickening crack was heard, then he pulled out the blade and flew deeper into the palace, leaving me to bleed and to chase after him.
----Scorpio's PoV----
It didn't take a genius to beat Thorn, she always left her back exposed when in combat, 'though she has improved since the last time we fought' I thought, rubbing my stomach, feeling the blood slowly dripping from my wound. As I walked into the barracks, I reached for my hood, only to remember Thorn had torn it off 'What a perfectly good waste of cloth' I think bitterly, before hiding under a bed (why a bed again?) and looked for Meerkat. After a few minutes of watching, I hear the door open, and feel a weight lie down unto me. Someone was about to fall asleep on top of me. Now Irritated, I pull out Spite (WOF1227: the dragon bite viper from the last castle fight scene) and whisper in his ear, before letting him onto the floor, and watching him slither onto the dragon's face, and bite their eye, hearing the dragon wake up and scream in agony, clawing to get Spite of his face, only to succumb to the venom and die, leaving the corpse there, in a strange fetal like position, dark red blood pouring out his eye like a waterfall.
I look closely at the dragon and see some very familiar features on his arm. I would know those scars anywhere, Spite just bit Meerkat unintentionally. 'How ironic, I sent Spite to bite the dragon I wanted dead out of spite'(MD290: I wrote that to try and be poetic :P) (WOF1227: but it is ironic because I think meerkats go after venomous snakes), I put Spite back in his little pouch, gave him a long dead mouse, and flew out the window with the satisfaction of Meerkat's unkindly demise, and the regret of crossing my sister yet again.

END OF CHAPTER:
