//------------------------------// // 9: The apocalypse approaches // Story: Solar Child: Past Demons // by Bakmah Genesis //------------------------------// Satanic smiled lazily as she woke up. She tightened her grip on the fuzzy object in her hooves, recieving a lazy groan. The pink object rolled over and smiled at her. "Good morning, Hun." mumbled Nympha. Satanic giggled and kissed the hybrids forehead. "Good morning to you too, beautiful." replied Satanic sleepily. It was a full four months after the couple got together, and not once was there a moment where they didn't love the other. It was a relationship the mothers of Nympha always wanted for the young mare. Satanic whimpered as Nympha removed herself from her grip and walked over to put on her regalia, her hips swaying side to side suggestively. "Oh, now that's low. It's not fair to get me turned on before we go to work. I can't even get a feel for the next six hours." whimpered the demon. Nympha giggled as she slipped into her shoes and flung Satin's tiara at the mare. "Come on, Satin Rose, we have a long day ahead of us." said Nympha as she made her way out into the main room of their quarters. Satanic stuck out her tongue before giving herself a rose heart cutie mark. Once her eyes and cutie mark were in order, she placed her regalia on her neck and her tiara on her head. She stepped into her shoes and walked into the main room where her wife was waiting. "Good morning again, Satin Rose." said Nympha with a smirk. Satanic stuck out her tongue. "Good morning again, Nympha Lulamoon." replied Satanic. The couple met in the center of the room to kiss, their lips coming close to each other... "You two need to hurry! It's an emergency!" The two froze just in front of each other, blushing madly as they glared at the intruder. Solar smiled sheepishly. "Heh sorry. Anyways, we are having an emergency meeting and we are waiting for you two." Satanic sighed as she removed herself from the warm embrace of her wife. The two followed the elder demon through the halls to the meeting hall where Nympha constantly met for high changeling meetings. Currently the room was being used as what looked like a war room. Numerous generals of both pony and changeling gathered in the room along with the princesses. The ghosts of Blueblood and Blaze floated next to each other. It took no less than a second to figure it was about Tartarus. The fact that Solar didn't hide her cutie mark nor her dragon eyes proved that much. "Oh yay. I was totally looking forward to a surprise war meeting in the morning." muttered Satanic as they took their seats at the table next to Chrysalis and Trixie. "So can I be the first to ask why the fuck I was pulled out of my room for this?" Blueblood coughed and floated forward. "Well, me and Blaze have been spying out on Tartarus for awhile and we may have found some disturbing news." said Blueblood. "What exactly is this news?" Asked Celestia. "It's not certain, but from the military activity and the rumors spreading around the palace, Lucian may be escaping into Equus soon." said Blueblood. There was a hushed silence. "Okay, Luna, you can wake me up from this nightmare now. I'm not enjoying it." said Satanic as she leaned forward on the table. Luna looked stunned and just shook her head. "This, this is not a nightmare no matter how many of us want it to be." said the night alicorn. Satanic cursed and put her head in her hooves. "And this has to be at the time when I'm about ready to hump the table." groaned the demon. Chrysalis, the three month pregnant changeling who sat next to her, laughed, "Turned you on while you're in heat, did she?" Asked the high changeling queen with a smirk. Satanic nodded. "I swear she did it on purpose. She is going to make sure I suffer until I'm actually humping the edge of the bed just so I don't die of sex depravation." said the demon. Nympha punched her shoulder. "That was not my intention. Besides, I didn't know you were in heat." "I was practically drooling over you this morning!" "You're always drooling over me!" "Still, yo-" "As much as I'd love to her about my granddaughter-in-laws estrous cycle, I think we should try and figure a plan of action." said Celestia, cutting them off. The two blushed and nodded. "Do we have a certain window to work under or is his arrival still unknown?" Asked Luna. Blaze answered this time. "I've down some snooping and we may have about a day and a half." The room went silent. Satanic frowned and the other demon siblings grunted. "That ass!" Growled Naphyry. "Doesn't give us much time to prepare for a full on war and apocalypse." said Trixie. She looked over at her wife. "You, young lady, are going to the Crystal Empire and hide out there. Possibly hide in the hidden caverns if need be." "Hold on, why am I fleeing? I'm not going to stand by while some demon god threatens my family." said Chrysalis. Satanic placed a hoof on the pregnant mares shoulder and her other on her ever growing belly. "Chrysalis, you carry the last descendent of the Solar crown. We can't afford to loose you. Besides, it will put all of us at ease to know you and the foal are safe." said the demon look alike. Chrysalis sighed and nodded. "A-Alright. Just promise me I have a family to come back to." said the changeling. "We'll see what they sat upstairs." said Trixie, brining her wife into and embrace. "We will try our best to stay alive as long as we can." The changeling broke from the embrace and turned to her daughter. "You got the race in your hooves now. Command who you need and do what you can to make sure I still have a beautiful filly to come back to." said Chrysalis, planting a kiss on her daughters forehead. Nympha purred lightly. "I will." Chrysalis nodded and finally turned to Satanic. "You take care them, ya hear. And try to come back yourself, I've kinda grown attached to myself." said Chrysalis with a smirk. Satanic smiled. "No promises." They embraced. There was certainly a change in this family. Chrysalis sighed and bowed once. "To all of you, I bid fair well and hope to see you once this is over. Either under the suns rays, or in the heavens above. Fair well." There was a chorus of 'Fair well's that followed her out the door. Trixie wiped a tear from her eye and leaned against her daughter. With new determination, Satanic placed her forehooves on the table. "Alright, we are about to face a foe more powerful than ever. He has a deep seeded hatred for Equus and was sent to Tartarus for it. We can't let him win, however, cause I think we all value our lives over anything else on this world." "What do we do to make sure we keep them then?" Asked the head of the high changeling guard. "The guards of both species will have to fight together against the demon army. They die like normal ponies but are tricky and cunning. Meanwhile, us alicorns have daddy to take care of. When combined, we should be able to take him down." said Satanic. "What if you were to be set off? Would that help our chances?" Asked Luna. "They should. It is safe to say we are more powerful in full on pissed off mode than normal peppy selves." said Nightmare Moon. Celestia tapped a hoof to her chin. "So, demons go full on pissed mode while alicorns pull our inner gods out of our asses. Seems like a sound plan." said Celestia. "It's the only plan we've got. We can't really do much more and he was nice enough to give us until tomorrow evening to prepare." said Satanic. "I guess that's all. Captain, have your men ready for tomorrow evening. I want this city under lock down and under a strong dome. Contact the other hives and tell them what is going on and to prepare for full on universal war. Both of you, get going." commanded Nympha. Both pony and changeling captains saluted and ran off, leaving the remaining alicorns a few ponies. "Twilight, Rainbow, you two better get the other elements down here, teleport if need be, we need them down her now and ready." said Satanic. The couple nodded and walked off. "I'm glad that spell is almost finished. Those four are getting to old for this shit." said Celestia, shaking her head. "Your finding a spell to lengthen the lives of the other elements?" Asked Solar with a raise of an eyebrow. Celestia nodded. "It won't cause too many problems. Rarity and AJ are already together. Fluttershy is married to Discord and he is immortal. And Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie. It's hard to depress that mare." said the solar princess with a shake of her head. "Well, we will probably die tomorrow so let us all to and spend time with our loved ones. This may be the last moments we get to spend with them." said Satanic, standing. The others nodded and followed her lead. Nympha went to follow her wife but was stopped. "You can have later tonight and in the morning. Today, your mother needs you." said Satanic, pointing to the distraught azure alicorn. Nympha kissed Satanic's forehead and trotted over to her mother. The demon smiled and left on her lonesome. She was going to need some time to think. Lord knows it will be one of her last chances to.
