(Jonathon's POV)
I ran up to the Demon, swinging my scythes. He jumped back, now swinging his own blades at my chest. I flipped back, instantly moving to feel my chest. When I pulled away, a deep, crimson red covered my hand. The Demon laughed at its small victory.
"You can't defeat me," he yelled, his laughing still present.
"Perhaps not."
He stopped and looked at me.
"What are you talking about?," he asked.
"You're right."
I stood up, my chest still aching.
"I can't defeat you."
He smiled, giving out a final chuckle.
"So, you surrender?"
I started chuckling myself, then began laughing insanely. The Demon noticed this and raised his sword, his face beginning to show fear.
"Haha! Why would I do that? I'm having to much fun!"
The Demon yelled out in rage, running up and stabbing me just below my sternum.
"HeheheAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The Demon looked at me with a mix of shock and fear.
"WHAT!?"
I kicked him away, his weapon still sticking out of my chest. I gripped it with both hands, then began to pull outwards.
"You have pissed me off to no end," I said, continuing to pull the blade away from myself. "Now...YOU WILL BOTHER ME NO MORE!"
I pulled the sword out completely, blood spurting everywhere. I laughed insanely, pointing the sword back at him.
"Prepare yourself! Embrace eternity!"
The Demon backed away, yelling, "KILL HIM!"
Three Demons ran up to me, swinging their weapons wildly. I dodged one, stabbing the attacker in the chest. I dropped the sword and picked up my scythes, quickly killing the other two with one swing.
I recombined my scythes, and my body was covered in reddish black flames. I pointed my scythe back at the first Demon.
"You're next."
The Demon grabbed his sword from the ground, raising it.
"You've lost your mind..."
He looked directly at me.
"Now you're just being nasty!" I laughed out, preparing my scythe. "Come on, let's dance!"
He ran at me, swinging his sword at my neck. I blocked it with ease, pushing him away. I ran up to him, going for a vertical swing to his head. He flipped back, just barely avoiding it.
(Chrysalis' POV)
As I killed Demons left and right with Sky and Matthew, I heard laughter. I looked around and saw the source.
Dad was smiling like a madpony while fighting the Demon.
"Matthew!," I yelled, "What's wrong with Dad?"
He looked over and saw what was happening.
"Oh no..."
"What?," I asked with worry.
"He's lost it."
(Jonathon's POV)
As I kept fighting, I continued to let out a laugh every now and then.
Swing after swing, I beat the Demon down, until finally, I knocked him to the ground.
"Now you die!"
I swung my scythe, only to have it blocked. I looked up, and standing there, defending the Demon, was Matthew.
"What are you doing Matthew? I've got this under control!"
"Jon, you've lost it! Do not let this insanity take over you!"
"Why would I do that?! Hahahaha!"
"Jon, fight it! Don't let it control you! You're better than this!"
Just then, I saw Chrysalis running towards me.
"Dad!"
I stopped where I was, my mind gasping, but my mouth continuing to spew out laughter.
"Foolish little filly."
I kicked her away, sending her flying. She crashed into a building, and some of the wall caved in, falling on top of her.
"CHRYSALIS!," Sky shouted, running towards the collapsed building. Just then, I realized what I had done.
"Oh, God...Chrysalis...what have I done?"
I growled, clutching my head in pain.
"ARRGGGH!"
I fell down to one knee, still gripping my head.
"Chrysalis..."
I slowly got up, stumbling over to the building. Sky was trying to remove the rubble, desperately searching for her. I pushed her away, then raised my hands above my head. Energy flowed through me, and all the rubble began to move. I stumbled in place. I looked down and saw Chrysalis laying there, covered in cuts and bruises.
"Chrysalis..."
I struggled over to her, and kneeled next to her. I grunted in pain, and placed a clawed hand on her side.
"What are you doing?," Sky asked with worry, the sadness clear in her voice.
I ignored her, and forced energy into Chrysalis. My whole body, along with Chrysalis' glowed.
Then, there was a bright flash, and we were all momentarily blinded. I looked over when I could see again, and saw Chrysalis, who was slowly waking up.
"Chrysalis," I whispered.
She rolled her head to look.
"Dad!"
She instantly got up and stumbled over to me.
"Chrysalis...you ok?"
"Dad, I'm fine! Don't leave me!"
I smiled, running a hand through her mane.
"I...I made a...promise..."
I slowly pushed myself up.
"And...I intend...to keep it."
Chrysalis smiled and hugged me.
"Does this mean you're staying?"
I smiled and pulled her close.
"Yes."
Luna walked over and pulled me into her own hug. I kissed them both on the forehead. Then, the Demon stood up. I growled, pushing Chrysalis and Luna away, preparing myself to fight again.
"Stay back!," I yelled, growling.
"Jon," he said. "You have shown that you care deeply for these two. You were willing to sacrifice your own life to save your daughter, something I couldn't, and didn't do. I now know what I have forced you to go through, what with losing your daughter, your wife and friends, and for that, I am truly sorry."
I stopped, and stood up straight, putting my scythes away.
"You put me through all of this pain and misery. You took control of my daughter, used her as a shield, you nearly killed my wife on multiple occasions, and you made Celestia sacrifice herself to save her sister. What you have done is beyond hatred, beyond evil, but the strange thing is...I forgive you."
The demon looked up at me in shock, then smiled, bowing his head.
"I meant every word I said."
"I know."
I walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"But there is something you should know."
He looked at me in confusion.
"What?"
"Your daughter is right here."
I pointed at Sky. She closed her eyes, and changed into her demon form. The Demon looked at her in disbelief.
"Skyliner? I-is that you?," he asked.
Sky smiled.
"Father."
"By Tartarus, it is you!"
He ran over to her, pulling her into a hug. Sky smiled and hugged him back.
"Dad," Sky said, "I'm sorry I left. I didn't mean to make you think I was dead."
"Shhh...It's alright. I'm just happy you're alive."
The demon stood up and looked over at Matthew.
"Thank you for taking care of her."
Matthew smiled and nodded.
Then, the Demon looked at Draco and Selina.
"Young ones, there is one thing I must tell you as well."
"What is it?," Draco asked.
"Your parents are still alive."
They both gasped out in shock.
"Th-they're alive?," Selina asked, wings flapping excitedly.
"Yes, and they are looking for you."
Draco smiled at this new knowledge.
"Thank you."
The Demon nodded.
"Well, I had better return to my home. Sky, be careful, and take good care of your marefriend."
Sky smiled at him, her cheeks showing the slightest hint of red.
"Always, Dad."
He smiled, giving her one last hug, before vanishing.
"Well, it's over...we won."
As soon as I finished, Pinkie Pie popped up from behind a tree.
"IT'S TIME FOR A PARTY!"
We all laughed, and Pinkie had managed to set up a party within a few seconds. Soon, everyone was dancing and having fun.
I smiled, walking over to a bench, and sat down. Luna and Chrysalis walked over and sat beside me.
"Jon," Luna said, "Thank you."
I smiled and pulled them both closer to me.
"You're welcome...so, it looks like everything turned out alright."
I looked over and kissed Luna on the cheek, hugging them both.
