Chapter 68: Heads Will Roll

The music in the disco blimp was bumping, pumping and whirring as the ladies stood up, looking with sadness at their companion, whose face had been completely melted off by Taubitha's fony's [Acid Blast] attack. And at once, Taubitha was starting to feel very uncomfortable. Having just learnt that they ladies had, apparently, not been charging up an attack and had instead been bracing themselves in order to absorb all of Taubitha's blows in order to help her level up, Taubitha was eager to try and plead an apology. However, they were not having it - in fact, they were not having it at all, and it was becoming increasingly clear to Taubitha that, while she had originally not been in a fight with them at all, she had apparently, in her fony's attempt to protect her, stumbled into real danger. These ladies were clearly much higher levels than herself, and now they were angry.

Worse still, Taubitha had almost no [STM] left due to the aforementioned attacks she'd been dealing to these ladies in their combined, charged power.

They cracked their necks in unison, and for a second Taubitha felt like the ladies must be some sort of amazing syncopated automatons, although this was clearly not the case. But, almost immediately, Princess stepped in front of Taubitha and snorted.

"Princess! Be careful! Your [skill] might be powerful, but these ladies are on another level. Literally! I don't want to lose you!" Taubitha shouted. Or your system, she thought.

But Princess simply huffed and snorted, and started scuffing the checkerboard dance floor with her hooves.

"Princess?"

The ladies laughed as they both shot beams of power out of their long, acrylic nails - one of electricity, one of fire! They were light and fire elementals!

"PRINCESS!!" Taubitha, despite her nearly nonexistent [STM], dove for her fony, but the beast immediately head-butted her out of the way.

Princess flapped her sparkling wings and an amazing tornado of wind apparated before the two ladies and absorbed their attacks as if they were nothing at all.

"Wow," said the light elemental lady. "This fony of yours is really something else. I wonder how much we'll get for its hide when we skin it!"

"How DARE you talk to PRINCESS in that way in that... that whoreish tank top!" cried Taubitha as she reeled on the floor, almost too weak to even get up off her feet. "Or should I call it, skank top."

Princess snorted. Then, the fony flapped her brilliant wings and zoomed forward, mouth grinning wide with powerful fangs.

"This is ridiculous," said the fire elemental lady as both her hands suddenly ignited into huge, flaming claws. "Am I supposed to be afraid of this absurd spectacle of a fony? If it even is a fony? Don't those things have one spire on their head?"

Before the other lady could answer, Princess swooped down towards the fire elemental, unhinged her equine jaw, clasped the lady's temples between her sparkling mouth, and ripped the lady's head up, pulling her entire spine up out of her body. The lady's body fell limp and extinguished of its flame as Princess spit out her skull and coughed up a few strands of hair.

"P-P-P-Princess?" Taubitha stuttered in shock as she looked at her bloodied pet in fear. Somehow, the damned thing still managed to look pretty adorable. It must've been all the glitter and sparkles it emanated, she figured, that stood out against all the blood.

"How DARE YOU!!!" screamed the light elemental lady as she dashed towards Princess in an impotent rage. She gathered her lightning energy and shot blast after blast at the fony, each hit missing completely as brilliant, glittering wings deflected it and sent them instead towards unsuspecting dancers, all of whom were immediately reduced to either dust or burnt, skeletal forms in its wake.

Princess huffed, and then, as the screaming electric lady was within the reach, raised a powerful hoof and kicked her face in like a honeydew melon. The lady crumpled to the floor as a rag-doll.

"Princess, holy SHIT!!" said Taubitha.

Princess huffed.

"Stand down, BEAST!" shouted a lady's deep voice.

Taubitha looked over to see five other ladies, all of whom looked incredibly buff and tattooed, wielding crossbows and goose stepping towards her and her pet.

"Don't you fucking flappers call my Princess a beast!!" cried Taubitha.

The ladies ignored Taubitha as they fired a barrage of arrows at Princess, but of course this attempt was entirely futile. Princess flapped her sparkly wings and immediately reduced every arrows flung to rubble.

"PAUSE TO RELOAD!!" shouted the head lady.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

All five of the ladies crouched behind a velvet sofa covered in stains that were extremely visible under the blacklights that lit up the dance club. Princess huffed and started to trot over towards the sofa.

"IT SHOULDN'T RECOGNIZE US AS LONG AS WE STAY BEHIND HERE!" shouted the head lady as she and her henchladies reloaded their crossbows.

Princess snorted. Then, she fluttered her horsey eyelids, which made it apparent how huge her eyelashes were. Then, Princess opened her eyes wide as possible. They started to glow red with a fierce intensity. Then, with a whinny and a neigh, bright beams of red light shot from Princess' pupils and engulfed the nasty sofa in a blinding, intense light. Suddenly, it was reduced to ash, all of which quickly tumbled to the dance floor, revealing all five of the ladies crouched down in the same position, struggling to reload their crossbows in time. One of them was actually not even reloading her weapon, she was really just doing her mascara in the reflection of another lady's well-polished crossbow. But none of that mattered.

As soon as Princess had a clear line of sight to these ladies, she charged.

"RUN, MEN!" said the head lady to the other ladies as they all screamed and ran away in haphazard directions.

Princess opted to stand there and snort. Suddenly, each screaming lady reached a different part of the dancing crowd, and the dancing and partying and cheering started to sound a lot more like screaming.

Taubitha clambered to her feet and looked at her pet, at once in fear and in awe. "Princess, what the fuck is going on? How are you this powerful?"

Princess snorted. Then, she flapped her wings, and soared into the crowd.

"Princess! Be careful!" cried Taubitha. "I don't want you to break a hoof!"

But Princess ignored Taubitha, and flew right into the crowd, which now teeming with fear and confusion as opposed to elation and bodily fluids.

A man pointed at Princess and screamed so loudly that, had the blimp had glass windows, all would've shattered. Princess responded by swooping down and kicking his head off with her hind leg in a satisfying snap, sending it spinning through the air like a basketball. This, of course, along with all of his spurting blood, caused many surrounding people to scream and react in a horrible fear. Princess responded to this by spitting acid down on all of them and watching as the hair and skin on their heads slowly but surely fizzled away like some sort of molten taffy.

A microphone crackled with loud static and interference, and a man cleared his throat.

"Hey, y'all, seems to me that the mood in here has dipped significantly."

People screamed as Princess bit into a lady's stomach and yanked out a good clump of her intestines. Then, she flapped higher to the air, pulling the intestines like a reel as she flew around overhead and dropped them over the crowd.

"Yea, well, Deejay Cauliflower wants to remind you that he's here for you, he cares about you, and he wants you to have a good time, despite all the tough hardships we all have to go through in this life."

There was a very buff, very intoxicated woman who was convinced she could kill Princess. She tore off her shirt, bellowed, and charged at the Fony, but Princess immediately rolled her eyes and sidestepped the charge. Then, as the lady stumbled and looked for the beast, Princess rammed both of her long, spiral horns into her back. The lady gasped as Princess yanked her horns out of the lady, and then thrust them again into her back, and so on for five more times before finally leaving the lady's corpse to lady there in a motionless blood puddle on the dance floor.

"So, I picked out this song special just for y'all, okay? Just for y'all."

Everyone was screaming. It was deafening. So he, sighed and turned up the volume far louder than it ought to be. The feedback was painful, but of course death by Princess was more painful, so nobody who was still alive complained as they cowered in fear.

The Deejay cleared his throat three times, then coughed, then cleared it again, then started playing a bumping beat over the PA system, then he began singing in a comparably painful falsetto about the struggles and pains of trying not to die as, appropriately, Princess chased after people, spat acid on them, and melted them alive with her laser vision.

It was getting to the point where the Deejay's awful warbling was giving Taubitha a headache as Princess continued her slaughtering. However, there was a point where the Deejay's voice cracked, and even people who were in the process of being slaughtered by Princess stopped screaming and crying in horror to look over and giggle. At this, Princess looked up to glare at the Deejay, who grinned and continued torturing everyone in his own way. Princess huffed, took again to the air, and flew over to the stage. The Deejay hid behind his turntable, which she immediately vaporized.

"Please, don't hurt me! I'm a man of the rhythm!" he cried, holding up his hands in the shape of the Square of Theseosus.

Princess snorted, trotted over to the Deejay, and bit his hands off. He screamed as blood sprayed out from his remaining stumps. Princess rolled her eyes, snorted, and then barfed acid (and a couple fingers) all over his face, which prompted the Deejay to drop to the floor of the stage, dead.

Taubitha stood there, shaking her head as she heard the small remainder of the crowd cheer for Princess with joy. This cheer was, decidedly, a bad decision, as it seemed to serve to remind Princess that other people were there. Promptly, the fony rejoined the dance floor and made short work of everyone remaining other than Taubitha by whipping up another mini-tornado with her wings and then using the force of that tunneling wind to rip off everyone's skin and then disperse acid all over them.

Taubitha stared at Princess in shock as the fony trotted up to her [paired] tauman and huffed.

"By the gods, Princess, what the fuck was all that about?"

Princess neighed sheepishly and shook some blood off her mane.

"Seriously, Princess, that was a little much. I mean, I understand wanting to kill people, I really do. But to kill everyone? And to essentially torture and terrorize so many of them beforehand? I mean, that's pretty messed up, Princess."

Princess huffed and scuffed the floor a little, then she looked up at Taubitha with dazzling eyes.

"Oh... But you're so cute..." Taubitha sighed. "I can't stay mad at you, Princess."

Princess neighed with approval. Then, she coughed.

"Princess! Oh gods, don't tell me you're hurt? You poor, fragile thing!"

Princess coughed again. Then, she spat a long, wet cylinder into Taubitha's hand.

"Ew! What is this, Princess?" Taubitha inspected the cylinder and, after pulling off some mucus, realized it was a scroll. Trying not to gag, she unfurled it. And when she read it, she gasped so hardly that she almost asphyxiated.
