Satanic fidgeted with her hooves as the lace behind her back was done for her. Rarity hummed to herself as she did each loop with practiced ease. Despite her age, the mare was still able to easily create any dress she wanted, including an elegant wedding dress.
"Oh dear, you look positively gorgeous." said the alabaster mare as she stepped back from the demon. Satanic shifted and looked into the mirror, taking in her appearance.
In the mirror stood an identical black alicorn mare, her mane and dragon eyes red. She was dressed in a white wedding dress that wrapped around her body and flowed down to the ground. Satanic smiled and turned slightly, taking in what she could.
"Even at fourty-eight you are an amazing seamstress, Miss Rarity. It is perfect." said Satanic, turning to the white unicorn.
"Of course, deary. You can't expect a little age to stop what I love doing. It would take more than a few dastardly wrinkles to pull me away from my dresses." said the mare, whipping her dark purple mane to the side.
"Devotion can be a virtue as much as a sin." said Satanic as she sat down, carful not to wrinkle her wedding dress.
"Have ponies gone to Tartarus because of devotion?"
"Yes and no. They didn't go because they were devoted to something they love but more because of what cause they were devoted to. Such as Blazing Sword when she acted Canterlot with the AntiCelestia organization."
"So it's a matter of who or what you are devoted to that sends you to Tartarus." said Rarity, sitting down across from the mare.
"And what you do because of that devotion. You could be devoted to some twisted cult, but done nothing sinful with them. What sends you to Tartarus is very hard to predict and it's better to just wait it out." said Satanic.
"Well, this is a weird conversation before a wedding." Both mares screamed as a white blonde ghost appeared next to them. Blueblood broke out into laughter.
"Blueblood, you asshole. How did you get out of the Hatred realm?" Asked the demon, glaring at the ghost.
"You know you made me worried when you didn't tell me your intentions." said Blueblood with a huff.
"Last I checked, you hated lesbians." said the demon, raising her brow.
"I got over it. Though I'm not thankful for the open surgery." said Blueblood, crossing his forehooves.
"Hey, I'm not in control when I'm set off. Now what is it you want?" She asked crossing her hooves.
"Your sisters threw me into Limbo and asked me to ask you to get them out of their vessels."
"Why? They knew my reasons for coming here. They should know very well that I'm not going to participate in any form of attack on Equus." said Satanic, shaking her head.
"They want to support you. They specifically said 'we are not going to follow some asshole that never once showed us any love.' It seems you are very close to your father." he said with a smirk.
"Yes. Very close. I love him so much I want to shove my hoof up his ass." she said with a roll of her eyes. She them put a hoof to her chin and hummed in thought. "Well, it's possible but the vessels need to do it willingly. It took a shit load of dark energy to release me and its a wedding so there is hardly any."
"So, you have to convince seven alicorns to release something you were born to fear?" Asked Rarity, still recovering from the shock of Blueblood popping out of nowhere. Satanic told the group when they met at the library how she returned, including her tale of Blueblood and lying to him in fear he would not do it because of his hate of lesbians.
"Pretty much. We still have a few good hours before the wedding so we can talk to them now and get this over with." Satanic said with a sigh. With a quick flash of black aura, her wedding dress was returned to its place on the ponykin where it originally was.
"How well do you see this going?" Asked Rarity as she followed the alicorn demon.
"Not really sure. Trixie, Dash, and Bright are still weary of me. Twilight, Luna, Tia, P and G, and obviously Chrysalis are all okay with me. It's just those three that will take some convincing." said Satanic. The two walked down the hall, finding directions to where Celestia and Luna were.
The two entered the private study of Celestia where the demon and unicorn came to a scene neither of them expected. Luna was being chased by a pillow weilding Celestia, the moon princess laughing all the while.
"Should I even ask?" The two eldest alicorns stopped as they realized their guests. Celestia, taking Luna's moment of weakness, slammed the pillow into the side of the moon princess' head.
"What brings you her Satey?" Asked Celestia, using Luna's pet name for Satanic. The demon knew this was going to be tough. Celestia murdered a whole army in front of her daughter with Solar Flare while Luna almost plunged Equus into eternal night with Nightmare Moon and nearly killed her sister.
"Well, um, I kinda got a message from home." said Satanic, scuffing the floor with a hoof.
"Oh, that doesn't seem so ba-"
"My sisters want free." There was a silence as what she said settled.
"What?!" said the couple in unison. Satanic's ears pressed down on her skull in annoyance at the loud volume if their voices.
"They said they want support me here. They rather be by my side rather than fathers. I can definitely understand why." said Satanic, nearly growling the last part. There was another silence as they thought it over.
"How do we cast the spell?" Asked Luna. Satanic raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I thought you to be the most reluctant about releasing Moony." Luna shrugged.
"What can I say. I've gotten used to the demon queens of Tartarus." said the night goddess with a smile.
"And if I understand correctly, our demons our like ourselves unless they are set off. It should not be that bad. I can deal with two Chryssy's so why not to Lulu's." said Celestia with a smirk. Luna huffed and punched her shoulder. Satanic giggled before telling them the complex spell that unlocked the barrier within themselves and allowed the alicorn demon inside them to slip free.
The goddesses of Day and Night casted the spell simultaneously, bringing to life Solar Flare and Nightmare Moon. Celestia was surrounded by Solar's blue flames while Luna was surrounded by Nightmare's purple smoke. After a few moments, the two elements formed a figure of the same size of the princesses and fleshed out to reveal the two alicorn demons standing next to their other.
"Well, I'm glad that wasn't a few moments earlier." said Solar Flare, shaking her head.
"Thanks for letting us know about your wonderful bathroom adventures, sis." deadpanned Satanic. Solar laughed brightly, a laugh only matched by Celestia.
"Nice to see you again, Satan." said Solar, joining Nightmare in giving the smaller demon a bone crushing hug.
"We are not in Tartarus, I need air." Satanic said, trying to push away the mares who seemed content on suffocating her. The two stepped back and soon found themselves face to face with their pony look alike.
"Isn't your mane and tail usually on fire?" Celestia asked Solar. The white demon shrugged.
"Only when I'm set off. Normally, it's nice and flowing." said Solar, flicking a hoof through her two tone blue mane.
"And don't you have blue armor?" Luna asked Nightmare.
"Same as Solar. Normally, no armor. Just me." said the demon.
"Alright, cool, you know each other. Now, if you don't mind, I have another five alicorns to ask to release demons. This is going to be a very interesting wedding." said Satanic, turning away and walking towards the door.
"Let us come with you, you are going to need proof that we mean no harm." said Solar, following them.
"Fine. Tia, Lulu, you might as well join in. We don't need them thinking you turned." With that, the group left to find the rest of the alicorns.
~~~~~~
"So, this is nice." The room was filled with alicorns. Twenty alicorns, including Sombra and Cadnce, eight ponies, and one drake. Sweetie cradled Blue in her hooves while Spike stroked her mane.
"I guess. Twenty nine ponies in one room, twenty six of them extremely powerful. Not at all an apocalypse." said Spike.
"Hey, it's traditional to have family from both sides present and this is my family. Minus my father but no one likes him so it's all good." said Satanic with a shrug.
"So, how long till the wedding?" Asked Solar. Nympha looked up at the clock on the wall and stood.
"About an hour. Alright, Fluttershy, might as well get me dressed." said the hybrid. The shy Pegasus nodded and flew after the pink alicorn.
"Same goes with us, Rarity." said Satanic, heading to her dressing room. Rarity followed, talking about all the things she could possibly do with the demons mane as they walked. That left with minus two elements of harmony and two less alicorns.
"What is your father like?" Asked Luna, breaking the silence. Solar Flare raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Asked the solar demon.
"Well, we hardly know anything of your family and life except for the moments you took over our bodies. I'm curious." said Luna with a shrug. The group of demons thought for a moment.
"Well, imagine only having a father that used a soul of some innocent mare to give birth to you but gave not a rats ass about you unless you proved yourself powerful and evil." said Solar Eclipse. She was a dark purple mare with a black mane. Her cutie mark was identical to Twilight's but completely blood red. Her eyes were the same purple but her pupils were slits.
"He never really payed attention to any of you?" Asked Celestia.
"All of us except Satanic, and that has eaten away at her for hundreds of years." said Nightmare Moon.
"Shit, I feel bad for myself." said Chrysalis.
"So, she hated being evil?" Asked Prism, taking part in the conversation about the doubles in front of her.
"With a fiery passion. Part of the reason she fell in love with Nympha and came running her to marry without second thought." said Lunar Eclipse. She was a midnight blue like Trixie's own mother, while her mane was deathly white unlike the light silver and blue of Trixie's. Like all demons, she had lavender dragon eyes.
"Well, I guess that's enough talk for now," said Celestia, standing. "We all have a wedding to prepare for within an hour. And I have to seal the deal." The group nodded and went their separate ways to prepare for the first ever marriage of Demon and Pony.
