//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 // Story: A Displaced Radio Demon // by Rob_Rhapsody //------------------------------// I was out in Equestria, in my deer form, enjoying my snack of fresh venison I caught a few minutes ago.’Yes I’m eating another deer, it’s already been established that I'm a cannibal, get over it’ After I finished my meal, I decided to get moving. “Seems now is a good time to look for Grogar, if I remember correctly he should be-“ I began. -Bang- I looked over to where the blast came from, and saw a pillar of smoke off in the distance. “Or I could just follow the trail of carnage” I said I began running at top speed towards the pillar of smoke. I reached it in a matter of minutes. It was a small settlement of earth ponies. And right in the middle was a large monster, a cyclops, it was destroying multiple buildings. I saw a few scared ponies run past me. I changed into my demon form.  I summoned my cane and began walking towards the cyclops. As soon as it saw me I grinned like a madman. “What you smile at tiny thing?” Asked the cyclops. I snapped my fingers and opened a portal below the cyclops. Then a few black tentacles came out and wrapped around the cyclops, who looked at me in fear, as I just smiled and clenched my fist. The tentacles began squeezing him, until he and the tentacles burst into a hundred pieces. I just kept standing there with a clenched fist and an evil face. Eventually a few ponies came back, and my face lightened up. “Thank you sir for saving us!” Said one of the fillies. I closed my lips but kept smiling, just like a normal person.  “Think nothing of it, I was just passing by when I saw that brute destroying everything, and I didn’t want it giving us odd creatures a bad name” I said to the filly, with a purple coat and yellow mane, green eyes, yet no cutie mark. “What are you mister?” asked a small mint green colt with a brown mane and tail, yet no cutie mark.  ‘Aw he looks like mint chocolate’ “I am called Alastor, but most call me the Radio Demon” I said, booping his nose. “A DEMON!?!” shouted every pony in town. “Fear not, I’m not in the mood for making deals right now, or taking your souls and the like, what I am interested in now, however is where that monster came from!” I said to the ponies. “That monster came from Grogar’s castle” said the mint chocolate colt. “And which way would that be?” I asked not knowing it was behind me far off in the distance. Every pony pointed at the castle. I turned around and saw where they were pointing. It looked like castle grayskull with a ram’s head. “Oh, I wonder how I missed that?” I said to myself. “What are you going to do?” asked a random pony. “I’m gonna go up there and kick Grogar’s ass!” I said to the ponies. “That’s suicide!” Said one of the ponies. “I’m a demon, I’m immortal, so it shouldn’t be too hard” I said, giving them all my signature smile. I began walking towards the castle. However I didn’t realize how far it would be, so it was halfway there when I had to stop. But I found a small encampment of ponies nearby. Only a few seconds later I was knocked out. -Later- I awoke in chains. “Oh good you’re awake” said a voice. I looked around and found the source, it was a pony stallion clad in armor, black fur and white mane, blue eyes, and armed with a spear. “Hello there, mind telling me why I’m chained up?” I asked.  “You’re our prisoner, underling of Grogar” said the pony. This made me laugh. “HAHAHA, you think I’m one of that bastard’s lackeys, oh you are an idiot, he controls monsters, I am a demon, you should really know your creatures, however I can easily get out of these” I said, laughing and getting out of my chains. I stood up and he tried to attack but I just took his spear and tripped him. When he was on the ground, I had his spear to his neck. “Well what are you waiting for, finish me!” Said the pony, closing his eyes. “Hmm, I could, but you’re more useful alive” I said, pulling him up and giving him his spear. “I am not your enemy, Grogar is giving all creatures a bad name, I want to put an end to him, and I think you want the same thing, so how about we make a deal? I’ll help you out so you can get rid of Grogar, sound good?” I asked. “I’m listening” said the pony. -Later- “There is no way to stop him, we’ve tried everything!” said one of the soldiers. “He has no weaknesses, we can’t stop him!” said another. “That is untrue, he does have a weakness” I said, getting all their attention. “What? Why should we believe this demon?” said one of the ponies. “Because as of now you have no choice, I know that his bell is the source of his power, all you need to do is take it from him, then you can banish him” I said. “And how do you suppose we do that? Grogar is always wearing it, how could we take it?” asked another pony. “Simple, I provide a distraction, while one of you take the bell!” I said with a smile. “What kind of distraction?” asked the same pony, making me grin. —Later— I made my way over to Grogar’s castle. I quietly snuck in and looked around. All the monsters were watching a pony dance on a stage, and as the pony danced, the monsters threw fruit, tormenting the poor pony. I quickly jumped onto the stage and did a few dances. After I finished dancing the crowd of monsters turned and began chasing after me. I ran all over the castle. The monsters kept yelling profanities, I couldn’t understand a word because they all said different things at the same time. I just looked back stuck out my tongue, and blew a raspberry. I continued to run until I made it outside, with all the monsters. I ran past one of the pony soldiers and gave a thumbs up, which was the signal, and kept running with the monsters close behind. I eventually made my way to a dead end and had to stop. “Nowhere to go now, whatever you are!” said one of the monsters. I just tapped my chin and opened a portal behind me. I jumped backwards into it and gave all the monsters a 2 handed, one finger salute. “Buh-bye!” I said, pissing them off as I went through. I ended up back in the camp. A pony came up to me. He held out his hoof to reveal Grogar’s bell. “Well done, now you just have to seal it away, somewhere no creature can get to it” I said, congratulating the ponies. “We couldn’t have done it without you Alastor, we shall spread the story of your heroics” said the pony. “Or better yet, don’t, I Don’t want to be known to have been involved, however you may put it into this book” I said, handing him a book. ”This book will tell my side of the story, I want you ponies to hold onto it, it can’t be destroyed by time, so it will last forever, I will continue to add new information to the book every now and then, for now ponies, I bid you adieu!” I said snapping my fingers and disappearing without a trace. I reappeared in the house with Aurora, Bori, and Alice. “Hey Alastor how’d it go?” asked Alice. “Pretty well, those ponies continue to amaze, I can’t wait til’ I can meet the pillars” I said heading to my room. “Good night Alastor!” said Bori, Aurora, and Alice. “Good night!” I said, going to sleep.
