Vengeance woke up. He then reeled back as the King's fist rammed into his skull, and he noticed for the first time his skull was cracked across
multiple places. He caught the King's fist. 

"I see now." Vengeance growled out quietly. The King glared at him as he tried to pull his hand away. 

"What are you babbling about?!" The King shouted while trying to free his hand with no success. 

"It's your fault." Vengeance punched him in the face, and the King would have been sent flying if Vengeance wasn't  holding him.

"This is what Pinkie Pie felt!" Vengeance punched him as hard as he could in the throat, silencing all screams of pain with a gag. 

"This is what Rarity felt!" Vengeance turned the King around and kneed him in the middle of his spine, but due to his flattened windpipe, he

was unable to scream. "This is what Rainbow felt!" Vengeance turned him back around screaming this, and set his stomach, arms, and legs

aflame. He looked him right in the eyes. "This is what Applejack felt." The King knew what was coming next, but could do nothing as Vengeance 

blasted a column of flame into his eyes, causing them to sizzle and bubble, allowing blood to leak down his face. "This is what Twilight felt." He 

then blasted his entire head, and dropped him, leaving him to die on the ground. The fire demon crouched down next to him. 

"You feel this? This helplessness? This fear? This is what Fluttershy felt.  This is what the townspeople felt, and what you took advantage of 1000 years ago. I have no idea how you survived, but," Vengeance stepped on his wing. "You will never kill anyone ever again. I'll make sure of it."  Vengeance then looked at him, pure hatred shining in his eye sockets. For the first time, the King knew true fear.

"And this.." He said in a deadly whisper, as the fire around his skull looked like it wanted to burst. "This is how I felt." 


Suddenly the King's entire body was aflame.  He screamed in agony and fear, but the fire kept coming. The unstoppable torrent of fire
was not going to be satisfied until not even ashes were left.

Fluttershy had watched the whole ordeal with shock and horror etched across her face. Despite the fact that he did deserve this, it was a little 
extreme to put that much stress on someone's body, even if they were an alicorn. 

"Stop!" She yelled to the demon. "You shouldn't be doing that! It isn't right!" Vengeance stared at her, and dropped the King. 

"Do you have any idea what he did to me? How many lives he's taken?!" The demon roared in her face.

"I know, but right now you're just as bad, if not worse than him!"

"Trust me, I'd have to commit genocide if I wanted to be even as close to as bad as he is." The demon looked at her.  

The other members of the main 6 pitched in, voicing their opinions. Finally, he looked down, and his fire died down to little more than a tiny flame.
