//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: A Displaced Radio Demon // by SOUNDBLASTER_SUPERIOR //------------------------------// I reappeared in Twilight’s library, scaring Spike. “Aaaaahh” he screamed. He began tossing books at me, and missing every time. I just stood there smiling. I then saw him toss a smartphone, which I caught. “Now what do we have here?” I said. Then the phone began to tell me a message. “This is Mamoru Shinigami, also called The Dark One, and this is a message to anyone who finds this phone, my number is already in there, so if you need my help, or just need to talk, give me a call and I'll be right there” said the phone. ‘Holy shit, this is a token’ I then snapped my fingers and made all the things Spike threw at me, go back to where they were. “Pardon me, but do you know where this device came from?” I said holding up the phone. “N-no, I don’t” said Spike cowering in fear. “do you mind if I hold onto it then?” I asked. “S-sure just take it and go!” said Spike, still scared. I pocketed the phone and tossed Spike a fire Ruby in the shape of a heart. “Here, it’s not ripe for eating yet, so hold on to it, good things come to those who wait” I said, walking out the door. —Later— Pinkie and her new friends were in Sugarcube Corner when I just popped up behind all of them and remained quiet and kept grinning. “So, how are things?” I said startling them. “Do you have to do that every time?” asked Rainbow Dash. -static- “do you have to have an ego the size of the moon?” I retorted. Rainbow didn’t respond. “Excuse me, Alastor darling, but- do you have any other clothes than what you’re wearing, it smells of death” said Rarity. “I did die in it, but no I don’t have any other clothes” I said. “Oh, ahem, well if you like, I can make you a replacement suit” said Rarity. “Excuse me, I don’t think I heard you correctly, could you say that again into the microphone” I said putting my microphone cane in her face. “I said I’d like to make you a new suit” she said. I dismissed my cane. “no thank you!” I said. I then left the table and went into the kitchen. I saw Mrs. cake putting icing on a few pastries.“Hello my dear, would you like some help making those pastries?” I asked. She looked at me. She’s met me before, and she doesn’t exactly trust me. “Um.... A-alright, could you put on an apron and help me make more?” She said. ‘Ok that is new, she must be getting used to me’ I snapped my fingers and I was instantly wearing an apron that said Kill the cook. That made her nervous. I took off my gloves and put them in my coat pocket. I then went to the sink and washed my hands. I walked over to the counter and remained silent while I began helping her with the dough. “After this batch I will be done for the day, you can use the kitchen afterwards if you like, just make sure you clean up after yourself” said Mrs. Cake. I looked over and just kept smiling like I have been for years. “But of course, and I would like to say thank you for being so kind” I said. She was still creeped out, but a little less than before. A little later she finished with her pastries, she put them in a box for delivery and left. “Now, all alone in the kitchen, what to make, hmmm, oh I know some good old fashioned New Orleans beignets! These ponies will kill for my beignets!” I said getting out the ingredients. —meanwhile— —main 6 POV— “Pinkie, are you absolutely sure that Alastor is not going to harm anypony” asked Twilight. “It’s ok, Twilight, he may seem a bit creepy, but he can be really nice when you get to know him” said Pinkie. “I still don’t trust him” said Rainbow. Just then her cupcake caught on fire. “Huh, How did that happen” said Rainbow as she put out the cupcake. “Well, his taste in style is a little outdated and strange, but he makes it work” said Rarity. Then her cupcake grew 3 inches bigger, but they didn’t notice. “What kinda demon is he anyway?” asked Applejack. “And why didn’t you tell anypony about him Pinkie?” She asked. “He said he was a deer demon and a deal maker, most in where he’s from called him the Radio Demon, he made me Pinkie promise not to tell anypony about him, until he was ready to show himself” said Pinkie. “A deer demon?” asked Fluttershy, perking up. “I’ve heard of deer demons, but I’ve never heard of a Radio Demon, but if he’s a deal maker, he must be very powerful!” said Twilight, while tapping her chin. “Were did he come from?” she asked. “He said I can’t say it’s name because it’s a naughty word” said Pinkie. “Then just whisper it to me” said Twilight. Pinkie looked around, then went and whispered the name, which made Twilight go pale. “What’s wrong Sugarcube, you look like you’ve seen a ghost” asked Applejack. “Girls, if what pinkie said is true, he came from a place that is way worse than tartarus, making him the most dangerous thing in Equestria” said Twilight. Out of nowhere, there was a loud slam in the middle of the table, which startled everpony, now there was a large tray with beignets piled high on a plate. “Beignets anypony, old family recipe, get them while their hot!” said Alastor, wearing an apron, and appearing seemingly out of nowhere. “Ooh, they look delicious” said Rarity. Rarity took one and was about to have a bite. “Rarity wait!” warned Twilight, but she was too late. “Gasp, oh my, these beignets are simply heavenly” said Rarity. “Wrong place, but thank you, I worked really hard on them until they were just right!” said Alastor showing no teeth in his smile. “Me next” said Pinkie, taking a couple for herself. “Are you all crazy, he’s a demon and he offered you all food, and your eating it!?! He could have put something bad in them!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash. “I would never do something so heinous to such a delicious delicacy! Not only would it taste terrible, it would also be wrong to ruin the recipe!” said Alastor looking hurt. He then teleported away. “Rainbow Dash! How could you!” said Pinkie enraged. “He was only trying to be nice” she continued. “Pinkie’s right, he probably heard us talking about him too, but he didn’t say anything about it, he could have done anything about it, but he just kept smiling and gave us some nice sweets!” said Fluttershy, shocking everypony at the table. Applejack took a beignet and had a bite. “Mmm, tarnation, these things might be better than my family’s apple fritters” said Applejack, enjoying the fine pastry. Twilight took one, but put it in a bag, for studying it later. “Fine, I’ll have one, happy now?” said Rainbow, as she got one and took a bite. “I was wrong these are delicious” she said, beginning to go into a pastry fueled trance of deliciousness. —elsewhere— “What is that demon up to?” Celestia asked herself as she stood on her balcony. She began looking off in the distance at Ponyville. “I hope, my ponies will be safe, I fear I will not be able to protect them from him” said Celestia. “You won’t have to worry about that” said a familiar voice. She turned around and saw Alastor standing right in the doorway, his eyes glowing
