Dark Shadow was an evil bastard of a demon. He was the kind of person who you couldn't tell but insane or a genius. But he was neither. He was a psychopath. The body that he took over was of a rugged unicorn with gray fur and a mane dark as his soul, which is pretty dark.
He stood in an old abandoned house outside of Phillydelphia. It was an old run down house. Perfect for him to hide out in and plot. And plot he did, day and night, plotting and preparing is masterpiece, is magnum opus, his Big Lebowski if you will. But his would contain a lot more killing and raping. A lot more killing and raping.
Right now he was sitting a leather wheely chair behind an old wooden dusty writing desk. He had his hooves on the table and his head pointing down. He was in a very large dusty room that was only bright from the sun light creeping through the boarded windows. There was only hard wooden floors that were covered in dust and spider webs covered each corner of the room.
Outside the room a couple hooves began walking to the door until they finally reached it. Suddenly a mare walked in and closed the door. She had white fur and a blue mane wrapped on top of her head. She had gray eyes duller than steel and a pair of glasses on her face.
"Sir."
Shadow lifted up his head pointing his bright gold eyes at the mare.
"What is it Raven?" He asked her.
"I have just received word that the small group of demons that went out to celebrate the upcoming take over have been slaughtered."
Shadow sat in his chair, sitting silently in his chair, contemplating the what he thought about what he just heard.
"Since they were a moderate group of demons that will definitely hit our numbers in..."
"I don't care about that."He interrupted."We can easily replace them. But what bothers me is not the fact that a part of my army has been wiped out, but who was able to kill them all."
"According to my sources it was a demon hunter." She said.
"Brave or Jack?"
"Neither." She responded."He is a newer one. They his name is Iceheart. He's Apparently been causing a lot of trouble for our little community, even helping to kill a large group of vampires in their trademark underground clubs."
"So he will show up when we invade?" Shadow asked.
"Probably."
"He will not be a problem. I have killed many hunters before him, so he will not be a challenge for the likes of me."
"Of course sir." Said Raven. She then bowed her head down and turned to the door to leave. She opened the door and silently walked out, leaving Shadow all alone.
Finally, Shadow thought, I will kill them all.
I was in Twilight's house getting my arm stitched up from the fight. Twilight wasn't a nurse so she was reading from a book telling how to sew me up correctly. It was about night time when we got back so accidentally woke up Spike so he was pacing around the library. I was sitting on top of a chair that Twilight brought out I could at least sit down.
"Hold still." Twilight said, using her magic to send a needle through my arm. I held still as well as I could, Twilight gave me a leaf to chew so I was able to keep my mouth shut. After about five minutes Twilight finished stitching up my arm I stood up and brushed myself off.
"Feel better?" Twilight asked me.
"I feel fine." After I said that I looked at my coat,"Need some dry cleaning though."
"So what are we going to do about this invasion?"
"Well" I said,"we need to tell Princess Celestia immediately so we should leave pretty soon."
"Alright then. Spike I'm gonna have to go out again, okay?"
Spike sighed,"Okay Twilight, please be safe."
"I'll be fine, I'm just going to see the princess." Twilight turned away from Spike and to me,"Lets go." I simply nodded and headed for the door.
I estimated that it was about eleven o clock. Luna had raised the moon and the stars together making a beautiful night sky. Nopony was really outside at this time so I didn't have to pretend that I wasn't carrying deadly weapons on me or that I am a normal pony.
Twilight followed me outside and closed the door. "Alright Iceheart lets go."
"Alright then." I walked over to Twilight until I was close. Suddenly her horn began glaring and her face turned from normal and relaxed, to hard and concentrating. After a couple seconds the setting quickly changed from Ponyville to the Princess'es castle.
Twilight had teleported us on the balcony of the castle. The view from here was, to say the least, gorgeous. And right next to the balcony contained a small garden of flowers that Celestia often tended too, creating the blissful experience of a gorgeous view and majestic smells.
"HALT!!" Came a lot voice behind us. I turned around to find that it was one of Celestia's guards pointing a long spear at me.
"Whoa whoa man, its me Iceheart." I stood on two hooves and put my hooves up in the air. Twilight quickly got behind and stood quiet. After hearing me the guard dropped his spear down unto the floor.
"Oh my...sorry Mr. Iceheart I didn't recognize you. What brings you here?" He said.
"I need to talk to the princess immediately."
"Now? In the middle of the night?"
"Yes now. This is very urgent."
"Ummmm" He said, he sounded very apprehensive,"the Princess is in her quarters resting."
"I don't care if she is sleeping, this is serious." At this point I've seen the princess enough that she doesn't come off as some sort of holy goddess, so I was able to demand to see her without fear. Probably the price of fighting monsters of the unknown for a living.
"Alright then. I shall show you to her." He turned around and headed for the door that led out unto the balcony. I started following him and Twilight did the same. Since I had no idea who this guard was I decided I am going to refer to him as Charles. Charles led us through the large hall(Apparently the one where Cadance and Shining Armor got married) and a hall way, we came to the Princess's room.
There were two guards that were guarding her door. They were as stiff as a board and looked a serious as they could in that silly armor.
"Red Hammer" Said Charles to the guard on the right side of the door "These two demand to see the princess immediately."
"Why should we let these two in?" Said the one on the left, getting looks from the other two guards meaning that he probably stepped out of line.
"Hammer shut up!" Said Charles,"This is Iceheart and Twilight Sparkle."
Suddenly the guard that snapped at us, began looking very scared,"Oh..oh I had no idea, alright then." The guard then turned away from us and knocked on the big wooden door that blocked the princess's room from the rest of the castle.
"What..what is going on?!" Yelled a loud voice behind the door.
"Princess celestia, it is Twilight Sparkle and Sir Iceheart. They need to see you immediately, apparently its very urgent." Said Charles.
"Can't it wait till tomorrow?" Said the princess.
I think that tonight had gotten on my nerves a small bit. Getting my cut and learning my town was going to be destroyed put me a rather tense mood. And at this moment I was in no mood to waste time."Celestia stop clopping and let us the fuck in!" I yelled, startling Twilight and the guards.And Charles.
"Fine. Come in." The doors were suddenly flung open. I entered the room without looking at Twilight or the guards. I always liked the princess's room, there was carpet on the floor that was as soft as baby seal. The room was half white and half pink. The room was a lot cleaner then my room or any of the rooms I have ever been in.
Celestia was standing in the middle of the room. I saw that her eyes were not focused on me, so I turned around to see Twilight finally enter the room.
"Shut the door Twilight." Said Celestia.
"Of course." Twilight quietly shut the door and quickly came to my side. Even though I was'nt looking at her, I could still feel her giving me a dirty look.
"Now...what is so important that you two had to disturb my slumber to tell me?"
"I don't know,I think the fact that a bunch of demons are probably going to invade Ponyville and kill all of the residents that live there."
Suddenly her eyes became as wide as my private collection of porn."Wait what?" She said.
"We were investigating the gathering of demons and found out that it was a celebration for an upcoming invasion of Ponyville." Said Twilight.
"This is just as I feared. When I sent you to investigate this gathering this was one of the things I estimated that would happen. But that was the worst case scenario." Said the Princess.
"Well what are we going to do?" I asked.
The princess responded sternly and coldly,"Nothing. We are going to let them invade."
"What!" Yelled Twilight and I, are reactions almost in-sync with each others."What do you mean do nothing."
"Well to launch an invasion of a town like Ponyville, there would have to be a huge amount of demons, and their numbers are already trembling." Celestia turned towards me and spoke,"Don't you see Iceheart? If the demons invade and you kill them all then at least half of the demon population in Equestria will be wiped out."
I was suddenly growing angry with our princess,"So you just want us to let a bunch of demons invade Ponyville and kill everyone there? Can't we at least evacuate the town before they invade?!"
"Not really. If we evacuate all of Ponyville the demons will know we know about the invasion and will cancel their plans."
Rage was filling my belly, to the point that I didn't really care what I was saying."So you just want us to do fucking nothing and let these monsters invade!" My loud voice catching the attention of Twilight.
"Look Iceheart I don't want to do this either. Do you think that I want to let horrible creatures invade Poniville and kill a couple of innocent ponies? Look, we will never have an oppurtunity like this again. If we are able to kill those demons then Equestria would be much safer."
I was suddenly aware of what Celestia was talking about. Nopony would want to make a decision like this. She was just thinking in the long run. Still I wasn't really happy with her, but at least I could understand where she was coming from. Twilight stood beside me, quiet and unmoving.
"Alright then. So what is the plan?" I asked.
"Well, the plan is to just let them invade. But I don't want to get anypony hurt so I will probably send Brave or any other demon hunters I can get my hooves on. When the demons invade you and the other hunters will try to kill as many demons as you can and try to protect the the residents of Poniville."
"Alright then." I said."But is there anything we can do to protect them?"
"I have an idea." Said Twilight suddenly deciding to break her silence."I recently learned a spell from one of the books about demons you sent me. Its basically like a spell to repel demons for a certain amount of time. I could use this on all of the houses in Poniville so that we could at least protect foals and ponies in their houses. Then I could cast a large bubble around poniville so that the demons won't be able to escape."
"Holy fuck thats a good idea." I said, and it was. It was at moments like this that showed that Twilight was a really smart pony and not just something I had to drag around on missions.
"Indeed it is." Said Celestia."But are you sure you are able create a barrier big enough to trap the demons?"
"I'll try princess." Said Twilight.
"Alright then." I interrupted."We now have a game plan."
Celestia nodded."Yes we do. I think the best thing to do is to get some rest. I will send other hunters to your residence by tomorrow."
"Alright then." I said, and preceded to go to the door. Twilight reached the door before I did, so I was on my way when I was interrupted by the princess's voice. "And Iceheart." I turned to see the princess, standing exactly where my eyes left her, while Twilight preceded to head out."What I do in my room by myself in the middle of the night is none of your business, and you of all ponies have no right to disturb me."
Almost at the exact same time, a small smile creeped upon the faces of me and the princess,"I don't get it, your a princess, you can get some hard dick." Without turning back to see her reaction I trotted to the door and closed it.
I met Twilight back in the hall and we both teleported back to Ponyville. We teleported back outside Twilights house. Twilight headed back inside her house and took off to mine. I finally reached my house and walked inside and to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and opened the cabinet nearest to the fridge, my little liquor cabinet. I pulled out a bottle of some "Applejacks family cider". I opened it up and pressed it against my lips and began sucking at the sweet nectar of alcohol. And after a day like this I really needed it.
