Rodan groaned before craning his head back and slamming his forehead into her as she lunged at him again. The Shadowbolt’s head wobbled before falling back limp, knocked unconscious as it seemed. Rodan looked at her and shrugged. He purposefully dialed back his force to make sure he hadn’t used anything lethal. Despite what Sunset Shimmer asserted earlier, he had his own assertions to make. While not a deep thinker by his own admission, he knew what he knew and made his judgments based off them. He knew there had been a conflict brewing between the Celestia loyalists and Nightmare Moon loyalists for centuries, and he knew based off his own experience that conflicts tended to work in cycles. The Princess Celestia of the Equestria he knew had stopped such a civil war without any lethal force, something he’d come to admire a lot.
-Sunset might have said you’re not worth life anymore, but until I see proof of it I’m not killing any ponies.-
He glanced at the Shadowbolt while climbing off her.
“You’re welcome.”
He grumbled, starting to turn and hover up into the air to go and check on Sunset Shimmer herself. With the stallion Shadowbolt having a go at him earlier, it probably meant something had come up with the unicorn and Rodan intended to find out why.
Or at least that was his priority before the shrieking behind him forewarned the seemingly unconscious Shadowbolt head revived and pounced onto him. Rodan sneered, trying to reach back with his paw to try and grab at her after being forced to land.
“Hey get off!”
“YOUR SOUL WILL EMPOWER US!”
“What are you-”
And that’s when she did something Rodan never expected a equine to do. She chomped down on his neck in a predatory manner. Rodan flinched, shocked at the fact he could tell she drew blood and the fact a pegasus had just tried to tear his throat out with her teeth. His neck armor spared him that fate, meaning she only hit muscle. But where she did hit, the gryphon could already feel a blistering, almost frostbite-like cold settling in. He was beginning to feel weak, drained.
Unfortunately for the Shadowbolt, a slightly weakened kaiju convert was still far from a normal Equestria. Rodan grabbed hold of her head in one paw and jaw in the other, prying her off and throwing the mare over his shoulder. The Shadowbolt rolled over the ground but quickly got her hooves beneath her and slid backwards while standing up. Her mask had been torn off by the throw, causing Rodan to mentally backpedal when he saw her… its face. Sunset Shimmer’s word echoed through his mind.
-”These monsters stopped being ponies a long time ago…”-
The Shadowbolt’s face was barely recognizable as an equine. Inky veins shown through paled skin and short fur. The eyes were near completely comprised of enlarged pupils, and were noticeably sunken into their sockets with a ring of wrinkled skin surrounding them. In many places the skull’s shape was visible through lost soft tissue, and the cheeks had decayed holes in them. The Shadowbolt never looked away from Rodan. She no longer spoke, only hissing through bloodied jaws while stalking towards the gryphon; lusting for more of the life force she’d tasted. But as she lunged forward, she only got something else as the gryphon dove to the side with his paw swinging out towards her.
Rodan’s talons striking her across the throat, cutting fabric, flesh, and bone. The Shadowbolt’s body crumbled to the ground in two pieces, decapitated.
