Part 2: Demon Days

Ever since Dante and Vergil’s fateful clash at the Gates of Tartarus, demons have begun running rampant all across Equestria. Now The Elements of Harmony must join forces with the ever estranged sons of Sparda and hunt down the demonic Tartarusians if they hope to restore order to their once peaceful land and return the demon twins back to their world. All the while, a shadow from Celestia and Luna’s past looms dauntingly over the unsuspecting kingdom of Canterlot.

The demon days that lie ahead for Twilight and her friends will bring with them a bloody storm that threatens to resurface the long forgotten, if not slightly altered, history between Equestria and Tartarus.

NOTE: The events of this story take place AFTER the following in their respective order:
- Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
- Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
- The Season 2 Finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

"Twilight Sparkle, you are hereby sentenced to exile!" From those words her entire world changed. Is her happy life gone forever? Or can it only get worse? What will befall the dethroned princess and will she have to bare her fate alone?

My entry for This contest

And I officially have an editor! Much thanks to pinkiepie17 and Twilight Scratch

At first glance, Princess Luna's charioteers might appear to be little more than Royal Guards dressed in festive apparel for Nightmare Night. However, there is far more to the story than that - the Night Guards once played a pivotal role in the history of Equestria, and have sacrificed more for their beloved princess than most ponies are even aware of.

After remembering repressed memories about her acts as Nightmare Moon, she remembers her most evil act: Kidnapping, torturing, and training young foals for her grand uprising against Celestia. When this foal is recovered from cronostasis, can Twilight and her friends save him from his traumatizing past, warlike personality, and a life filled with regrets?

One year after the failed invasion attempt by Chrysalis, Equestria and the Emerald kingdom signed the Emerald Sun Treaty. This ushered in a golden age for both countries, and numerous technological and societal advancements were made. That was five years ago. Today, changelings and ponies get along wonderfully, both races are a crucial part of the others culture, but not everyone is so pleased with the changes. Numerous criminal and political factions work together to bring down the current government in both nations, wanting to unify the two for their own avarice and agendas.

As the world turns, both nations seem oblivious to the plots forming in their underbellies, but when a mysterious stallion stumbles into the life of a young guard, hidden plots begin to reveal themselves.

"Nothing can be achieved if you are not prepared to sacrifice something of equal value. This is the base of all alchemy, so in accordance with this law living transmutation is strictly forbidden - for nothing could equal the value of a living soul."

This is reality, and all those that do not adhere with these warnings must pay a steep price. 10 years ago, an alchemical accident occurred within the Griffon Empire that left it without its Prince, who disappeared into the desert with only the bag behind his back and without a single word of his destination. Rumors have spread far and wide about this mysterious alchemist after he fled his homeland, a drunken fool by some and a ruthless killer by others. There is one thing for certain as the desert merchants have all said - "for he is the wandering spirit with the bronze wings on his back"

Such rumours never interested Firefly; the famous "Concord Flame" of Bardingburgh: the great Desert Empire north of Equestria, until she gets word said Alchemist has appeared in her capital stirring up trouble, with a troublesome beak to boot. It only annoys her more to end up escorting the deranged Prince under orders, a job easier said than done. For everything in the shadows want him dead, whether it's a monster of the present or a relic of the past, something about this 'Prince of Alchemists' is more than she could have ever imagined.

A story of entwined fate and broken promises to be fulfilled.

Characters and settings taken from Equestria Prevails go support his works because he is a splendid artist and I can't stop writing about his artwork. Alchemical abilities and laws are taken from Full Metal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. This story is not a crossover, except for a few minor references.

Bass Flare, better known as DJ-N30N to the fine ponies of Manehattan, has everything a pony like her could want. Fame, fortune, and music!

But it only takes one person to make even the most confident pony doubt everything they know.

Especially when you're hiding a secret as large as Bass Flare's...

In an attempt to make peace between the changelings and the ponies, Chrysalis is offered a place on the Equus Council. The changeling queen gets more than she bargained for when a certain lunar princess gets involved.....

ChrysaLuna with a side of Twilestia.

Thanks to my fabulous proofreader SteelxPaladin, who makes sure this doesn't suck.

'Caught' has been edited slightly. Re-read and try to spot what's changed XD

The crime rate in Canterlot was hitting an all time high, which was perfect for a young thief like Chase.

Unfortunately his fellow thieves started getting caught. And everypony knows what happens when you get caught.

You're taken to Celestia and interrogated in ways so horrible, so demeaning that the one caught is never the same again.

Chase knows this and refuses to let it happen to him.

For even if he is caught, he knows in his heart that he will never give up his life of crime. And nopony, not even Celestia herself can change that...

Right?

This story is just a bit of fun that popped up in my mind. Mostly because I wanna write Celestia in a good way for once XD

No possessiveness, no darkness, just a gentle, motherly Celestia.

I'm not sure about the tags, so if I'm missing something then tell me XD

Shining Armor awakens one night to find a baby pony/changeling on his doorstep. A baby that is apparently his as well as Chrysalis's. Can he keep Cadance in the dark? Can Twilight help him? Is the queen changeling herself going to make an appearance? How many OCs will there be? Will everypony be in character? Who will cameo? And most importantly, was he technically cheating?

Read and find out.

Sequels contain spoilers. As in you will spoil the twist if you even look at the sequel.

I see you scrolling down. Stop that.
