//------------------------------// // 3 All in one place // Story: Holy and Hellish brothers // by NinjaTurtle //------------------------------// Chapter 3 All in one place --------------------- Fluttershy --------------------- The human sat down on the chair in the library. It was very obviously bored but had nothing to do. He looked around for something intriguing to look at but he couldn't. He didn't like to look at fluttershy for some reason either. While waiting, she looked the human over. It was definitely a mammal, most likely an ape of some kind. It stood upright which made it very tall, had a shiny ginger mane, had glasses on its flat face and was mostly covered up in clothes. Judging by looks, it was Male. His clothes were mostly plain and simple, with things written on the front of the hoodie and shirt it was wearing. The fact it had clothes meant it was intelligent, but she did not know how intelligent he was. After a while, Twilight and her friends joined us. "Hello darling. It's good to see you again, dear. " Rarity said. As the group entered, they all looked to the main centre of attention in the room. The human, who called himself Harry, didn't like this and got up to lean against a far wall. "Woah, what is that thing? Looks like a minotaur and a bat pony had a weird child. " said Rainbow Dash. "Ah can agree with that. It looks quite darn weird. " Applejack agreed. "Ooo, does it like parties or cake? What about some punch or juice? Or some sweets? " Pinkie pie said at speeds very few kept up with. "It called itself a 'human', but I've found no reference to it in any of my books. It's a completely new species. " Twilight said. Twilight continued. "Me and Fluttershy found it unconscious in the Everfree forest. ". "So we're just taking it to the princesses to see if they know about it? What if it's dangerous? " RD said. "He's not. " Fluttershy said quietly. Twilight added to this. "Yeah, Fluttershy is right. It helped save us from Timberwolves, even after we scared him and he ran away. ". "But darling, why are we taking it to Canterlot? Surely a letter is fine? " Rarity asked. Twilight replied, saying "Well this creature wields a magic I've never seen before. It looked like the fires of Tartarus but it was somehow controllable. Spike already sent a letter anyway but she's not replied yet. ". "Okie Dockie, then. " Pinkie pie said happily before bouncing off. They left the library together, the human following behind. In the streets, the other ponies gave it wearily looks. This wasn't a surprise considering how many monsters came through the town. They got to the train station and waited for the train to Canterlot. As one pulled in, she noticed the human didn't seem to mind the train at all. Most of her animals disliked any travel that wasn't by hoof but the human seemed to know what it was. They all got on the train as it departed for Canterlot. --------------------- Charles --------------------- Charles was still stuck in his cell. He had his clothes, which was better, but he was still locked up in a new world by creatures that looked a lot like they were pulled from a young girls cartoon. They had also taken off his cuffs but had left the two guards there to make sure he didn't try anything. So during this time, he had been testing his magic. At first, he thought it would be hard. But he soon found out that it was way more simple than he thought. He simply made a mental order and the magic would obey. If he told the magic to "levitate me", it would obey and he would float. He could also make simple light spheres to help see in the dark cell. He had even been surprised when he simply asked for entertainment, which resulted in a micro-war between the tiny pebble golem's and the light people, all of which were about 5 cm tall. Just as the big finale between the leader golem and the brightest one was about to start, he had to pause it as the royal white horse and an equally royal looking dark blue horse showed up at his cell. They both still spoke in a language he couldn't understand but he still sat there in hope of getting an understanding of a few words. The dark blue horse pulled out a big, old book and started flipping through the pages. The 'magic' they used did scare him at first before he realised he also had 'magic'. She stopped on a page, said some nonsense and then her horn glowed brighter. A single magic tendril stretched out and connected with his head. "Thou should understand me now. " she said in an authoritative yet calm voice. Charles nodded. "Good. To start, what are you and why are you here? " she said bluntly. "Umm…" he said, not used to hearing them yet. He did finally speak after a second . "I'm a human angel and I was sent here to stop someone from my world from harming yours? " Charles said, unsure if she would believe him. "You were sent to stop a threat? What threat would that be, human? " she asked. Charles was now worried that they might not believe him. "He is a human demon. Think of a being like me but with some sort of evil magic. " he answered. She paused to think of that. She then just continued. "And how do you plan to stop this possible threat? ". I ran that through my mind quickly, and answered "Either we permanently subdue them or kill them. ". She looked shocked as I said the last bit. "Death should not be an option. " she replied. "Well, if they were human, like me, then I might be able to talk them down but that most likely would not work. " Charles suggested. "And why is that? " she asked. I need to get a name for her. "Well, they might be corrupted by their powers. From what I know, those powers are the only reason we exist here but since they're hellish, evil powers, it might have corrupted them. But I don't know. " I explained. "You talk as if from a different world. Would thou explain? " she said. I froze a bit at this, before just telling the truth. "Well, originally, I was a normal human in a different realm. Imagine me without the wings, tail or powers. The God summoned me and explained how the Devil, his counterpart and rival, was trying to spread his evil by sending minions of his out to other realms. He sent me to this realm, against my will, to stop the one here. " I said. I then spoke again before she could ask more questions. "Since I've told you pretty much everything you need to know at the moment, can you let me out. I don't even know why I'm in here in the first place. " I said. She looked and spoke to the other horse thing before getting back to me. "It seems fair to release you. But if you harm any of our little ponies, thou shall pay the price. " she said. Charles smiled. "Thanks. May I also have your name? " he asked. "My name is princess Luna, ruler of the moon and guardian of dreams. This is my sister, princess Celestia, ruler of the sun. " said princess Luna. Charles smiled again. "Oh, I was talking to royalty, didn't know. My name is Charles Steel. It's been a pleasure speaking with you. ". As they let Charles out, he saw a pony bring a letter to princess Celestia, who promptly turned and walked out. --------------------- Harry --------------------- He was bored. Not the normal bored which could be solved by day dreaming, but the kind where the only thing you can do is look at a spot or a hole and just stare while the mind goes blank. He had followed the ponies because he had nowhere else to go and it seemed like a good idea. But he had to think about the angel sent after him. Lucifer did say they were trying to stop him and it wasn't a stretch of the imagination to think God could have sent an angel after him. He had magic hell powers but pretty much no experience using them. If God sent someone here, they might have the same problem but he didn't want to take chances. What can I actually do? He asked himself this question a few times. He knew his magic responded to thoughts but he didn't know the extent of his powers. The most powerful thing he had done so far was a small flamethrower from his hand and summoning a pair of gauntlets. He couldn't test his powers ever because he was currently in an enclosed space. How much power do I actually have? He asked himself mentally. He didn't expect to get a reply. Power: 99.99% Charging... He was startled by this new voice in his head. It seemed to just answer questions though so he continued asking. What could I do at 100%? Practical example: can create approximately 100 to 120 grenade sized explosions. That's quite a bit of power. Can you tell me some combat spells? He asked this just in case he ran into the angel, although the chances of that were quite small. That angel could be anywhere in the world. What were the chances it would be wherever he was going. Example combat spells: Hell fireball, Hell fire blaze, Hell blast, Unholy restraints, Unholy corruption, Shadow movement, Shadow cutters. More will be added upon discovery. More will be added upon discovery? Does that mean I have to make more myself or I have to wait for this to make more? He didn't get an answer to that. It seemed that whatever this thing was, it didn't answer all his questions, just some of them. He had no idea what it was but it was sure helpful. Might have been useful back in the forest, but oh well. What are you? Answer: I am the intelligent part of a partial demon soul from a mid to high tier demon. Is there anymore of you in me or just that part? Answer: I am only the intelligent part. The rest was destroyed. Sucks for you then. Harry now at least knew what it was, he could probably solve why it was there. Lucifer probably put it there to help with the powers or to control his powers for now until he could control them. He shook his head to clear it as the steam train slowed down for the station. The brakes screeched a bit before stopping. He and the ponies hit up and walked out onto the platform. He looked around and got even more of those glares from the ponies. He even saw some wearing gold armour which looked like it was pulled from fantasyland, although that wasn't a far description from everything he had seen so far. He didn't pay attention to them as he followed Flutter-she, Twilight and the others. As they walked through the street, he could see the ponies clear a path in a non-conspicuous way as the six in front talked. He pulled up his hood and used his magic to block his face. He stayed with them all the way to what looked like a huge castle and they were just allowed to walk in. Either they are friends to royalty, they are royalty or the guards are so completely useless that you could get away with murder in front of them and they wouldn't notice. The castle looked even bigger on the inside, which looked weird comically huge compared to the ponies. They made their way to a huge set of doors and were let in. It seemed to be a throne room if the occupied thrones were any indication. On one was a big, white pony with multicolored hair and the other was only a bit shorter which was dark blue with what looked like a night sky in its hair. As he stood before royalty, he heard the six talk to them. While they did, he noticed that the big ponies were paying more attention to him than to the ones talking. This may get interesting...yeah, I'm fucked.
