//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Brutal Display // Story: Demonoid Overlord // by Reizthefakebrony //------------------------------// In the wasteland of Rambling Rock Ridge, something that surpass the absurd happened. Just when Painset and Magic had thought to have liquidated Alex as another victim, he returned in a very ponoid demonic form, aided by the entity known as Aidan. The Subject were speechless, especially Magic Mare, who was the one who killed him. "H-how can you do that!? You were DEAD!" Magic bellowed "Yeah, don't ask me that, you smuck. Now that was a rush. Being brought in this world as a pony, killed by pony monsters like you and being resurrected as some kind of a terrifying humanoid entity.... You were responsible for this." Alex said. "What!?" Painset and Magic answered at the unison. "Listen up, equine screwheads. A new power flows inside me, and more than that, I'll tell you, I fought any thugs and delinquents of the worst dirt. You were out of my leagues? Who cares, because I will make you pay for even trying to kill me." Painset growled, but then grinned. "So, you had just returned to life and think to have a chance this time? Don't waste my waste my time." "This time I will make sure you were dead for real," Magic said as she removed her hat and summoned two metallic cerberus creatures who leaped toward him. Alex looked at them and didn't even flinched. "Give them surprise," Aidan suggested. As the beasts got closer to his head, Alex grabbed both their heads and start to crush them. A move which surprises Magic and Painset. "The hay!?" Magic exclaimed. "As you can see, Alex, my influence gaves you a unequaled strength, endurance and vitality," Aidan suggested. Alex then slammed the cerberuses' heads on the rocky soil, making them explode. The Subject never expected that display of strength. "I can fell my power growing with the pass of the time." Alex thought. "GRR! I have enough of him already! Magic, let's do it!" Painset said. "Ditto," Magic said as she summoned every kind of leviathan, chimera and Meems can call forth. The hordes began to shoot lasers, projectiles, plasma shots from the leviathans and fire shots from the chimeras. Magic just launched meteors from her hat and Painset just charged her magic and shot a devastating beam on it. "Neo Sanctuary," Alex said instinctively as a barrier formed around him, protecting him from all of this barrage, but then realized in confusion what he said. "Wait, I did that?" "That's right. You are immune to the blows as long you don't move from your position," Aidan informed. "So I am invincible when I remain still?" Alex asked, but Aidan refused to state the obvious. "Are you making fun of us!?" Magic screamed. "Just die!" Painset said furiously. Alex continued to watch as the barrage continued to vex his barrier. "But now that I am thinking about, It's that what you got!?" Painset group interrupted their barrage to recover their strength and remain immobile. Magic ordered the leviathans and chimeras to rush against Alex. Aidan smirked upon seeing this. "Show them what a real massacre really is!" Aidan exclaimed. Alex charged his demonic hand and slammed it against the ground, causing multiple pyroclasmes of energy to erupt from below each monster and travelling toward the next one, disintegrating them all. As they were about to reach the Subjects, the two teleported away. For a moment, there was silence and Alex wondered were his opponents could be, but not for long. Sliding toward her target at the light speed, she reached Alex and leaped on him, only to be met by him backhanding her and sending her to fly. Magic Mare appeared at his left to exploit his distraction, and, unfortunately for her, Alex facepalmed her with a explosive blow that sent her to fly as well. Both the Subjects fell on the ground roughly. Alex turned at them and walked toward them to make his next blow. Painset, however, didn't made him wait and glowed her horn in a blue light and shot multiple nails that, which Alex avoids by moving away. He facepalmed. "I can't believe I was fearing two noobies." Alex said disappointed. Painset snapped and charged her horn with a tremendous energy as she flew upwards. "You asked for the most brutal execution ever made. I shall destroy your existence in this instant. You are even worst than that cyborg pony. You had returned from the grave, but you will remain there this time. DIE!!!" Painset unleashed a very gigantic beam of extreme solar heat that was melting everything that hits. Magic, terrorized by her reaction just hid herself from behind a rock. Painset was laughing maniacally as she continued her barrage. She should had won since she was a very powerful goddess, as she proclaimed herself to be. But then, Alex laughter was heard, causing Painset to flinch and interrupt the charge of her beam, revealing a fuming but still standing Alex. "You call this killing blow?" Alex asked. "Bitch, please." "YOU ARE KIDDING ME!?" Painset and Magic bellowed. "Let put a end to this farce," Aidan suggested. "Alright," Alex said gleefully, charging his right hand with a light blue energy and raised it upward. "Not this time," Magic declared. "You must die!" Painset said as she slides at high speed toward him and jumped above him, joined by Magic Mare shooting a vulcanic sword from her hat. Unluckily for them, Alex teleported behind them and slammed the charged hand on the ground. What followed was a titanical pillar of white energy that continues to expands by seconds, slowly. Everything was destroyed in a blink of a eye. And after a few seconds, the pillar shrunk quickly and disappeared. What remains of Rumbling Rock Ridge was a very huge crater, were only Alex and the weakened Subjects laying on the ground remains. Alex felt to have gone a little overboard, but he didn't cared this much. He turned toward the Subjects, being distant from him for about two yards and looking horribly battered. Furious, Painset tried to get up, but ended up falling. She even tried to use her powers but nothing happened, much to her horror. "At least I can guarantee that no Diamond Dog was there when that happened," Aidan suggested. "It's seems like this attack had drained your energy and powers," Alex commented. "Y-you are not a normal pony freak," Magic said. "What kind of monster are you!?" Painset asked, hesitantly. Alex would had used his real name, but since he's not himself in appearance, he came up with another name. "Zaidel Goelnix," Alex said. "You know, I encountered many so called terrific smuckheads like you who had thought to kill me and failed miserably. And you are no exception." "E...Exception?" Painset stammered. "Well, time to give you the finishing touch," Alex said as he walked toward the Subjects, who crawled backwards in fear. "Not fair!" Magic lamented. "Stop! Don't finish us! We are going to be us-" Painset was interrupted as Alex dashed toward them and grabbed the Subjects' heads to lift them above him. "You know what to do." Aidan said. With that being said, Alex glowed his demonic hands holding the mares with a white energy, which make them shiver. "HOLY INFERNO!" Alex shouted as an explosion of white flames briefly engulfed the two mare, which colors of their bodies and cutie marks returned back to their original form, and the wings of the pony who was once Painset Shimmercake were gone. The ghosts that were possessing them were burned by the literal inferno that consumed their essence. After that, Alex loosened his grasp on the mares, letting them fall unconscious on the ground. He looked around at what he had done. The destruction of Rambling Rock Ridge and the purification of Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. He didn't asked for this, and yet he started laughing. And he knows why. "I don't know why but if I am to be in that form, so be it," Alex said. "Alex Phirell is dead. Long live Zaidel!"
