//------------------------------// // New.....teacher? // Story: EqG: Hell rider 2 Hell Unleashed // by Tunefulsubset72 //------------------------------// --- Following School Year after the Zarathos incident--- Location: Canterlot High School. "Hello students I am glad to welcome you all back for another year at school! It's going to be very fun and... Interesting to say the least." Principle Celestia said as she looked out at the crowd of students. The students remained silent because they were staring at something or someone on the stage in the auditorium. "Anyway as you all most likely know we have had some staff changes for this year and had to do some remodeling to the football stadium. So if you all wouldn't mind I am going to hand things off to our new robotics teacher Mr. Grimstone." Celestia said as she began to clap in order to lighten up the tension only to have the other students awkwardly clap with her. No one moved there was just a faint sound that was coming from the right side of the stage that no one could make out. "Um excuse me Grimstone it's your time to talk to the students." Celestia said as she walked over to the right with a microphone in her hand." And you're asleep..." Celestia said as the sound of snoring started sounding through the speakers. The students then all erupted in laughter causing Grimstone to jolt awake. "I swear I didn't do it Crimson!" Grimstone said as he jolted awake only to see Celestia standing in front of him." Is everything okay ma'am?" Grimstone asked. "Other than the steady stream of drool that's making it's way down your chin yes. However, it's your turn to talk to the students." Celestia said as she handed him a microphone. "Oh dear lord." Rainbow Dash whispered next to me causing me and the others to giggle. "Right sorry about that." Grimstone said as he wiped his face." Okay kids my name is Grimstone Ashenwing and I will be taking over the role of robotics teacher while I am in control of Crimson's body, however, this does not mean that he has disappeared completely he will make comments when he wants to. So there's nothing really that interesting about me so does anyone have any questions?" Grimstone finished. Almost every hand in the audience went straight up. "Okay... does anyone have a question that does not pertain to what happened last year, what I am, or what 'he' was?" Grimstone said as he pinched the brow of his nose. Three quarters of the hands went down. "Yes you with the face and stuff." Grimstone said as he pointed to a short boy with buck teeth. "Yeah so what happened last year, what are you really, and what was that thing you fought?" Snips asked trying to act cool. "Ugh...." Grimstone turned off the mic," Celestia do I have to tell them?" Grimstone asked. "Might as well consider it as punishment for falling asleep during the first half." Celestia laughed. "That's so not fair." Grimstone said as he turned on the microphone. "Well what's the answers?" Snips asked impatiently. "Well little guy you sadly just earned everyone here a long story about my life before and after I met Crimson instead of answering those three questions." Grimstone said as he cracked open a can of Pepsi." So when I was still young and living in the underworld the angel wars were taking place among those above the clouds and those below the earth. I however rose to my power because i was able to trick a strong angel into coming to hell and we trapped him there for decades only to let him out once we bent him to our will and then Zarathos became the Ghost Rider. That angel was the spirit of vengeance and still is after what happened but it appears that now there's two of them. Fast forward a couple thousand years in to the future into more modern times I met Crimson after he fell victim to the brainwashing of Tirek. You see Crimson only wanted to do one thing and that was protect Spitfire and still is one of the few things he must do, however, Tirek convinced him the only way to do it was accept the darkness and let it take over. Then I saw it as a way to get out and I took it. After that it was a constant struggle between us no matter what time of day or what it was about. Then after he was held hostage for five years by the hands of Chrysalis and experimented on nonstop he finally snapped and we became of one mind when we agreed on one thing. That thing was that we were going to put Chrysalis's head on a pike. After that we became closer and grew stronger together and have started finally awakening the powers we both possess." Grimstone concluded by crushing the can in his hand into a tiny aluminum ball. "Wait that doesn't answer the question of what you are?" Snips complained. "Oh well for short laymen's terms I am a demon that is more powerful than the devil himself." Grimstone said as he walked back to his seat and handed the microphone off. "Thank you for that Grimstone that was a... great..... speech." Celestia said as she walked to the front." Okay students it's time to go to your homeroom classes and get everything ready and settle yourselves in. You are all dismissed!" Celestia said as another loud wave of snoring came from the side of the stage causing students to laugh. ---unknown--- "Aye boss, we're back." A changeling said as he and a few others entered an abandoned building." Boss?" "Your boss is a little occupied at the moment." A voice said from the darkness." She doesn't want to be disturbed." "Who's there?" The changeling spoke as he looked around." Show yourself." "As you wish." The voice said as the changeling spotted the source as Rider stepped out of shadows as his flame she ignited." As much as I'd like to kill you, I've been told not too." "How do we know we can trust you?" The changeling said as he drew his weapon." And that this isn't some cheap trick?" "Because, borax, he is our ally." Chrysalis said as Chyrsalis approached followed by Zarathos and Ryker." Isn't that right....Master." "Indeed." Zarathos said with a deep voice." And please, don't call me master, my name zarathos." He said as Chyrsalis nodded." We are allies for now, you will all get something out of this." He said as Rider approached and growled at Ryker." Stand down Ghost." "Fine." Rider grumbled as Ryker smirked." I know what you did to Rainbow dash, I'd just love to kill you right now." "We all have common goal right now, that is to kill grimstone." Zarathos said as he clenched his fist." Right now we are powerless, if though it been a few months since then." He said as Ryker coughed." Yes Ryker." "I may have a few ideas on how to stop him." Ryker said as he crossed his arms." One being we call some help in." "If we do that, we may catch the guardian force's attention." Rider said as Ryker looked at confused." A team of very powerful angels chosen by Micheal himself." "I was one of them." Zarathos said with a grim tone." Until was tricked and cast into hell by grimstone." "You have bigger history with him then I do." Chrysalis said as Zarathos nodded." So what's the plan?" "You shall soon see." Zarathos said as he spread his wings and flew up to a nearby loft." Soon."
