//------------------------------// // ...To my castle // Story: Twilight Sparkle Goes To Hell // by Dr Atlas //------------------------------// Twilight’s eyes finally opened for a second time, and the first thing they laid on were a pair of skeletons. She then proceeded to fly in the air and scream. “HEY! Careful with those zombies! There a diamond a dozen you know.” Twilight turned around to see the Devil being carried by similar monsters. “W-where am I?” Twilight asked a she stood up. “Is always with the ‘where’ with you. You know, for a princess, you ask a lot of questions.” The Devil motioned the skeletons to leave, which was just them burrowing back underground. “If you must know, were at my home.” He pointed to his left. “Your ho...home?…” Twilight looked up to see a gigantic castle, filled to the brim with bones, lava, fire, more bones, chains, and...bones. “It’s not much,” The Devil said. “but at least it’s got insurance.”          “Why are we here?” Twilight asked. No longer caring what she see’s in this place “Duh, so we can feed my pets. Just like your owl and lizard, princess, I have pets too.” “They’re my assistants.” “Same thing. Now, how about we feed-” *BBBBZZZZZ* The Devil looked down at his chest, as did Twilight. She tilted her head and asked, “What's that noise?” The Devil groaned. “Probably something unimportant. Can you let me take this?” He reached into his suit and pulled out his flat phone. “What is that?” “It’s a phone. Surprised your kind hasn’t made them yet.” He pushed on it with his hoof and held it to his ear. “Talk to me...HEY...heheHEY Big T, how’s my lovable demon?...No I got time.” The Devil turned away from Twilight and smiled. “Who are you talking to?” Twilight asked. “Yeah...Uh hu...well what are you doin’ these days?...Really? Is it boring?...Yeah, thought so...Me?...Oh nothing, just takin’ a princess on a stroll around….what? I’m...I’m sorry, what?” After a few seconds, the Devil went into a state of laughter and faced Twilight. “No way! I thought the file said it was the pink one ...Hey! Princess! Is it true?” Twilight walked up to him. “Is what true.” “That you actually...what?” The Devil leaned his ear back into his phone. “Yeah she’s right here, you wanna talk to the mare that wiped your flank?” He snickered as the sounds of yelling we're coming from the phone. “Hey now, calm down big T, it’s not like you’re allowed anymore anyway...How do I know? Are you serious right now...yes, I read it...I did indeed laugh my flank off...because when you get imprisoned by a mare, it’s pretty hilarious.” “Imprisoned…” Twilight said to herself. “Wait, Devil, are you talking to-” “Well, maybe if you used actual cages instead of bubbles, you would of looked way more serious...I do give you props for treating Discord like a your bi- Yeah, I read that over so many times.” Twilight gasped. “You’re talking to him aren’t you?” “Hold up a second T, Yes princess?” “Is it Tirek?” The Devil stared at her for a bit, then he smiled. “Oh big T, I think someone wants to talk to ya...Oh come on it was like….years ago, I’m sure you can…really?...Really?...That long hu.. are you sure you don’t wanna...Alright, fine, be that way...Yeah...Alright...love you too.” He pushed the phone again and put it in his coat. Twilight glaring at him. “He’s your friend!?” The Devil raised an eyebrow. “Of course he is, we’ve been friends ever since we were cast down here.” “But he’s evil!” Twilight was on the verge of losing it again. “So, I still love the guy. When we first met, I knew we had something special between us, but sadly, he was going down a road of evil.” “But aren't you evil?” “What gave you that impression, just because I torture the lost and damned for a living doesn’t make me a bad guy, I just deliver justice in the cruelest of ways. Nothing wrong with that.” Twilight glared at him while the Devil continued talking. “But anyway, he came to me and said he wanted to not die and rule your world, so he asked me to bring him back to life, and as much as it was against rules of hell, I couldn’t say no to those sexy eyes, so I did what he said and in about a few years, he wound up where he is now. Kinda knew it was gonna happen anyway.” “In Tartarus.” Twilight said blankly. “No...In Hell...Where he is currently serving a sentence of negative fifty. Pretty bad, I actually feel sorry for him.” “Fifty, and you still like him?” The Devil facehoofed. “How many times must I tell you, we’ve been together forever, evil or not. I still love the guy, which is why I don’t do the torturing. I never hurt my lover.” Twilight started to calm down once he made that statement. “You guys...love each other?” “Yeah, ‘course we do, what of it?” Twilight shook her head. “Nothing, I just….Really? No offence, but I didn’t really take either of you as...well.” “As what?” The devil narrowed his bright yellow eyes. “Don’t make me take down a few numbers if you don’t like gays.” “Nonono!...It’s just that.” Twilight had to change the subject. “I still don’t see how you could love him and hate Discord, even if he’s-” “The most cruel hearted monster on the face of Equestria?” The Devil said matter-of-factly. “Look princess, I don’t know how else to explain it you ya, you see, Tirek had standards, he wanted to rule for a reason, but that goat...psh...he had no reason, he’s an out right, and pardon my french, di-.” *BBBBBZZZZZZ* The devil groaned. “Hold on.” He pulled out his phone and listened. “What is it!....What?...Really...wheh, well that’s great, so where is it?...Okay, well I’ll do it once I feed the- Oh, you took care of it?...remind me to give ya time off…Hey, Chillax man...Okay, See ya in a bit.” He hung up and rubbed his hooves. “Welp, looks like patience waits for nopony princess.” “How so?” Twilight crossed her hooves, she felt like she was being ignored this entire time. Like some third wing. “Well, the imps finally found your file, and my pets are being taken care of, so that means heaven is just moments away.” He started walking to his castle. “Heaven!? Now?” Twilight was getting nervous now. She wasn’t ready for this. “Yup. Now can we get a move on,” He wrapped his bat wing around her and started walking. “The elevator is in my home, we’ll take it to the mailroom at the bottom, then to the top. Got it?” “N-no.” Twilight didn’t want to go now, she wanted to go home, not heaven. The devil ignored her and continued walking. “Oh, don’t worry Twi, I heard you get to have VIP access in heaven since your karma's in the hundreds, you luck little mare you.” He rubbed her hair and opened the front bone covered doors to his castle. “Now, FEAST YOUR EYES! AND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR...THE MAIN HALL!”
