All was quiet for a moment as he had passed the scrolls around to the council members. Once he and they had finished reading them. Aku stood up and walked over to one of the windows as he looked out at the city.”So, your leaders are demanding I send back every single pony from Equestria, refugee or not, so that they can be returned to their proper home and the refugees properly punished? And the fact they demand that we share our military skills and technologies? And the gaul they have of even asking for this last one…” he said before turning to face them again. “..For me to step down as the ruler of our nation? Al for the possibility of not having to worry about Equestria sending in forces to take over?”
I'm sorry...what?
As they made their way back to Equestria, both Aku’s and Fluttershy’s words rang in her mind. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, he was absolutely right in his response to the peace offering and the way he was running the nation.
Is she for real?
the peace offering
Peace offering? That was a 'surrender or be invaded' ultimatum. Who wrote that? Are you trying to tell me that Celestia sent the mane six to Aku bearing thatbullshit after everything else she and Luna have done to him already? Who is this bitch wearing the face of Celestia? There's OOC and then there's this! And it's not something recent, it's just continuing to escalate. It was already a horribly misconstrued caricature.
If you're writing a princess!bash fic, say so in your story's description. You can't possibly expect us to take your Celestia or Luna seriously? This Celestia would not have kept Equestria safe for 1000 years on her own. Hell, this Celestia would not have kept Equestria whole for 1000 years on her own. She somehow thinks she's going to get her way with foreign powers regardless of terms, and she's far too heavy-handed besides. This kind of Celestia would have destroyed the Tree of Harmony in a tantrum when the Elements refused to work for her after Luna's banishment.
11215159 They both obviously have a god complex it’s only more pronounced with Luna because of the banishment while Celestias complex has had more time to mature and paired with ruling a Country of ponies who practically worship her, I can see her writing that up as a default as she’s used to always having the upper hand. Or she didn’t personally write it up and instead it was handed to another who wrote it like that.
You are correct. Not to mention, they think that Aku is a naive. While he is a new leader, he knows a bad deal when he sees one. Not to mention he has the help of his council looking out for him as well. 11215159
As I stated above, this isn't a princess bash fic persay. But, the princesses are so used to having others roll over for them. And so I am writing this fic out to show that things are certainly not going to go their way anymore. After all, they are part of the reason why Aku has become what he is now. He wants to show them that a nation can be ruled while also not putting himself above the people he rules. In the words of Ling from Full Metal Alchemist "A king's duty is to his people, without his people, he is no king at all. You are no true king."
Hmmm, kind of both I suppose? I had been wanting to find a character that was meant to walk the line between 'good and evil' while also maintaining the favor of his people. The idea was to create someone who wanted to prove that who thinks what is good and what is evil is a matter of perspective. You can be an absolute monster of a person, but at the same time, you genuinely care for your subject and want them both happy and healthy. While you may be a monster, they see you as something that is far from it. And that they want you to be in charge because you are doing what is necessary while keeping them happy. And that tends to upset certain rulers because they think they are the only true good in the world. But are being proven wrong.
As for the whole 'becoming an oni' and 'eating magic' things, those were the spur of the moment deal which have worked out better than I hope. I will admit., I did get the magic eating thing from Fairy Tail, but it wasn't meant to empower him further. It is simply another form of nourishment. While he cannot cast magic, he can cancel it out. You notice that he can't use the magic he eats doesn't boost his abilities or heal his wounds. But it certainly works in his favor if he is getting overpowered by his enemies. Even when it comes to yokai magic, he will never be able to cast onmyo magic. The mixture of both human and oni are preventing that.

Gosh damn! Very good points, amazing character evaluation and showing the obvious faults of the two bitch princesses and their hypocrisy by thinking they are the 'good guys" in the end. And calling out the OOC-ness of all of this.
But, we already knew this ( since the very first part-one story of Aku's journey. ). Ever since they wrongfully fear his Anti-Magic/Magic Absorbing powers, being racist, xenophobic, and bias ( Because he is a "outsider/foreigner" to their eyes. )
False arresting him, made a kangaroo trial, and almost killed him?! Just because he saved their ungrateful asses from the Chrysalis/Changelings. Almost the same thing by permanently getting rid of Tirek.
And after what have Luna did earlier to his innocent subjects/friends, and now Celestia with this clearly fake "peace offering". I LOST full respect, and hope for this two "princesses" of being forgiven. Celestia is SO gonna get hers! ( Including the BAD ponies from Equestria ). ALL end up just like her pathetic young sister.
One more thing;
And the fact they demand that we share our military skills and technologies?
You got to be f****** kidding me!
Okay, a part of me knew this was coming a while ago ( Considering that I seen this happened many, many, many times from the very greedy/jealous antagonist/villain/baddy/corrupt and fake "good guys/heroes", etc.. From fictional stories like this. ), but instead of hearing it from somepony like Blueblood, or the nobles themselves.
It's bitch Celestia of all ponies in here.
Saying this again, I seen this very old, overused cliché/trope happened many times in fan-fictional stories, etc.
But Celestia, a "peaceful loving, friendship, harmony, sunshine and rainbows" princess? Demands to learn/have the MILITARY technologies and skills like Guns, Vehicles like helicopters/planes/jets and tanks that are bred for WAR?! All from that "peace offering" piece of paper??
Sure, Celestia has done worse things in here.
Examples from that same "peace offering":
”So, your leaders are demanding I send back every single pony from Equestria, refugee or not, so that they can be returned to their proper home and the refugees properly punished? And the fact they demand that we share our military skills and technologies? And the gaul they have of even asking for this last one…” he said before turning to face them again. “..For me to step down as the ruler of our nation? Al for the possibility of not having to worry about Equestria sending in forces to take over? ”
But, I'm heavily focused on the demanding the modern military stuff away from Aku's nation. Is all a NEW TIME kind of low. Even for her.
How would her own niece ( Cadence, the Princess of LOVE. ) feel about this? Then again, she is the same ungrateful bitch that criticized Aku for SAVING her own damned wedding from Chrysalis/Changelings.
11215983 You can't just tell us that this characterization of Celestia always got her way with foreign diplomats. You don't run a kingdom in a thousand-year era of peace by responding to the slightest act of perceived defiance by smashing open the hornet's nest. You also don't inspire loyalty in your subjects by violently quashing the slightest hint of dissonance on the world stage in order to create the illusion of retaining peace, which I bring up because I could see this Celestia doing that and then wondering why her subjects are wary/afraid of her. This Celestia doesn't have the patience, the charisma...hell, she doesn't have the intelligence to keep the peace on the world stage. I made that much clear in my previous comment. Just so you know it's not a thousand year era of peace if there are conflicts with foreign powers, no matter how brief, scattered throughout, so that can't be it.
This, all of this is my biggest point of contention. That we're expected to believe that this entitled bitch, this spoiled brat kept peace with Equestria's neighbors for a millennium. You say she's used to getting her way? That's a horrible mentality first off, and if that's how her mind perceives her position, then that's a whole other can of worms that again, does nothing for what you're saying we're supposed to just accept about this character you've named Celestia and replaced the kind sun princess with. Moreover, to go along with that mentality you've laid out, where are the piles of skeletons and halls of statues that were those who didn't just submit? Where are the horror stories passed down through the generations from the mouths of residents of Aku's nation who came from Equestria's neighbors? Or even better, where are the horror stories passed down through the generations behind closed doors, from the mouths of the Equestrian refugees, if Celestia did that illusion of peace thing, and then made it illegal to talk badly about her. That sounds like something she could do too, since she expects that everyone will just 'roll over' for her. My point is, this Celestia does not get a 100% approval rating.
Yep! There has to be more to this. I bet that Aku himself is starting to has this same mindset or conclusion sooner or later. I mean, the way she is acting right now. He rightfully questions that her thousand years of peace is possibly BS, and a cover-up LIE!!!!!!!!
You know, propaganda and crap like that.
P.S. Those two highly delusional, and arrogant IDIOTS ( Raindow Dash and Applejack ) are really trying to be permanently disabled in their physically ( Like R.D's wings, and A.J's earth pony powers and muscles. ) and magical departments!

“When you came into our city, did you notice all the creatures who own their own shops and restaurants? Half of them are refugees from not only Equestria, but from other nations as well. They are living a life far better than they had ever done so before finding their way here. In my nation, we believe in second chances. While there are some cases where they are a lost cause, we have a ninety-eight percent success rate of reformation. Twenty-three percent higher than Equestria. DO you know why? Because we give them not only incentive, but a choice. Not an ultimatum unlike your princesses. “
Yeeeeees embrace the doubt and leave thou obsessive Equestria defect twilight, do it.
Anyways good chapter sad to see it so short but also understandable with how quickly this was pumped out, hope to see a new and longer one soon!
I'm sorry...what?

May I ask where you got such an amazing idea for a character? Was it spur of the moment or was it on the back burner a long while?

Yeah I get it. I just wanted to know the origins of one of my favorite fic characters
