Curse of the Demon Pony

by Shadow Master


Chapter 9: Who is Pony, Who is Demon?

At Canterlot Garden, Royalty and Military Officers were calming down the crowds from screaming and panicking. Megan's family, Zecora and Spell Nexus helped them as well.

Boris and his two stooges were still unconscious and sleeping. Sibrand was slapping their faces very hard for few times. Both Knights and Monster Hunters were guarding their masters from danger. As Sibrand gave very hard slaps, Boris and his gang gasped in shock and surprise as they immediately got up from their unconsciousness states.

"What-What happen?!" Boris asked in shock and surprise.

Sibrand huffed, "Because of incompetence, your prey has escaped!"

Boris screamed in anger, "I've had it! No more mister nice guy! Release the Hellhounds!"

"The Hellhounds?!" Boxco and Dum-Dum asked in shock and concern.

Boris snorted, "Yes! We're gonna find them. We're gonna hunt them down. And we're gonna kill that runt for good! And this time, she is mine!"

"But boss! Think about what Tamir had said!" Dum-Dum insisted in concern.

Boxco nodded in agreement, "Yeah! The Hellhounds obeyed only the strongest warrior especially Demon Lord of Earth! He's scary!"

"But he's not here," Boris remarked slyly while looking at the angry and wild Hellhounds growled. He smirked, "I'm the strongest. And they will obey me only..."


At the Eastern Forbidden Room, Twilight and her friends were calming and comforting Demon Pony or known as Ben Mare after they have learned the darkest yet shocking truth about him. He was looking down unhappily and upset.

"Oh Ben..." Twilight said in upset while crying as she was looking at Ben, "Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you and find a way to turn you back to normal! All these years, you were alive..."

Ben sighed, "I guess I didn't think of it. I was worried that you and everypony think of me as monster. You all wouldn't have believed in me. Nopony likes monster."

"But still... I could have helped you. We all could have, Ben. You should know that."

Flash Sentry nodded, "She's right. We'll always be there for you, even you did make a big mess. You even gave me a big hit twice."

"Sorry..." Ben said shamefully.

Flash Sentry shook his head, "Hey, it's okay. No big deal. We're here now to help you."

Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike commented and nodded in agreement with Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry about helping and saving Ben Mare turn back to normal from Demon Pony.

"Everypony..." Ben said in surprise and relief.

Nyx nodded and smiled happily, "Even you're in monster form, you're still a kind and gentlepony."

Twilight Sparkle nodded, "Time to go, Ben. Princess Celestia will help us. I'm sure she will understand and agree to help."

"Get away from her, filth!" The voice said darkly. Everyone turned and found Boris and his gang standing before the entrance. He aimed his Diamond Snipe Blaster at Ben, "Finally found you, buddy. Time to end you, Demon Pony!"

His eyes gone berserk as Demon Pony, Ben snarled in anger, "Boris!"

"What the-?! What is that?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in shock upon looking at Hellhounds.

Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed as they hugged together and even Pinkie, "They're scary!"

"These aren't ordinary dogs, I presume..." Applejack said in concern.

Fluttershy gasped, "The Hellhounds! Servants and Hounds for Demon Lord of Earth! I thought they were supposed to be at Demon Land!"

Rarity whistled, "Wow... I didn't know you read about Demons."

"If I have to guess correctly," Twilight Sparkle snarled in anger while glaring at Boris, "You bought them from black market, didn't you?!"

Boris smirked, "Guilty as charge! I do it to hunt this beast for good!"

Just before Boris and his gang could do anything, Twilight and her friends stood before the hunters while keeping Ben safe.

"You knew this, didn't you?!" Twilight Sparkle demanded, thus making Boris and his gang gulped in concern. She continued, "You were responsible of turning Ben into monster! You lied to everyone, and even me!"

"What?!" Boris exclaimed in shock.

Flash Sentry stomped his hooves hard, "We know what's going on! Ben told us of what really happen! Now you answer of what's going on!"

Boris grunted, "Look! I already told you before that I-!"

"STOP LYING!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she gave Boris and his gang 'A Stare'. It made them shivered and quivered in fear. She continued, "Now the truth! No more tricks!"

"Better do it. No one can resist that," Rainbow Dash slyly commented.

Boris screamed in concern, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell!"


Flashback:

Eight Years Ago...

"After I make your little runt cry and run off, you and your Benny have your own chat. So, we follow and listen of what you have to say. And believe me, I wasn't happy about it a lot!"

Boris and his gang were at the alley's corner as they watched and listened to what Ben and twilight saying and doing. It made the bullies very unhappy. They turned and left the alley at once while chatting.

"Tough luck, boss," Boxco commented.

Dum-Dum nodded, "Yeah! No worries. You still got lots of fillies to find!"

Boris groaned angrily as he levitated the dumpster trash up before Boxco and Dum-Dum. And before his stooges could do anything, he stopped levitating. The dumpsters fell and dropped on stooges. Boxco and Dum-Dum screamed in pain while muttered unhappily.

"I'm not out yet. I'm gonna get her, even if means make Ben disappeared for good..."


Three Days Later...

Ben was at the park's bench as he was walking around while thinking about Twilight Sparkle and her exam. Both Flash Sentry and Sunburst were there to help and calm him down.

A sudden explosion attracted the boys' attention to turn and look at occurring events from the castle. They awed in surprise and shock of it, as well as the appearance of flying rainbow across the sky. Ben smiled happily.

"Looks like she made it..." Sunburst commented, "I couldn't even do it..."

Flash Sentry grabbed and held Ben's shoulder tightly, "Told you that she can do it! Told you to 'Believe It'!"

Ben chuckled, "Alright! I get it! But thanks a lot - be there for me."

"Hey, that's what friends for!" Flash Sentry exclaimed proudly.

Sunburst nodded, "Now it's your turn to do it. Tell Twilight Sparkle the truth."

"I will. Better get home for grooming," Ben smiled, "Meet you guys later!"

Ben trotted off at once while Flash Sentry and Sunburst smiled happily. They're glad to see him being happy.

As Ben continued trotting across the Canterlot Town, he stopped as he encountered Boris and his gang before him. And just before he could say anything, Ben trotted off at once.

"I've got no time to talk with you, jerks!"

"Fine... Then, you would never ever be together with Twilight Sparkle if she's too busy with her studies..." Boris said in amusement. Ben stopped and turned looked at him. He continued, "That's right. I know the way..."

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"I know when to quit. You and her are perfect for each other. And to show my generosity and honesty, I will give the potion."

"Where is it?"

"Not here. Not now. Meet me at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. I'll show you the potion as promised."

Ben hummed in concern before nodded, "Fine. You'd better keep that promise."

"I will. I will..." Boris smiled in amusement.


Nighttime...

Ben met up with Boris and his stooges at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Boris then unlocked and opened the window. Four colts entered it as they have arrived at the science laboratory.

Ben hummed in concern, "Okay... Wanna tell me how is this helping me to be with Twilight?"

"Don't worry, kiddo," Boris smiled calmly, "The potion we're looking for is definitely here. We'll get it before you meet with Twilight Sparkle soon."

Ben scoffed, "You'd better. I just had a bad day with some useless friends of mine."

"Sorry to hear that," Boris said in upset. He turned to the front, "Come on. Let's find the potion."

"So, what kind of potion are we looking for?" Boxco asked curiously.

Dum-Dum gasped upon looking at the small cupboard-like, "I think I found something here! Ben, check it out!"

Ben approached to the cupboard. He opened it. It was empty. And just before he could do anything, Dum-Dum quickly kicked him in. The cupboard slowly turned into a cage-like. Boris and Boxco approached and regrouped with Dum-Dum. Ben was in shock.

"What's going on?! Let me out!" Ben demanded in shock and anger.

Boris laughed in amusement, "Did you think that I really want to help you get my filly?"

"What?!"

"You heard me? I never want to help, kiddo. I just want to make you sorry for messing with the wrong pony. And what better way to do that is having you play with your new pet."

HISS! Ben gulped in concern as he slowly turned and found a blackish arachnid-like with a long scorpion's tail, demonic symbol on its chest and demonic anthropod-like mouth. It struck its tongue while licking its mouth. It screeched wildly.

Ben screamed in fear, "What is that?!"

"Don't you know? That's Seichula. And it's very hungry!" Boris said in amusement, "I'll let you out if you said I won't go near to my girl again."

Seichula screeched wildly as it charged straight at Ben. It jumped and landed on him. It attacked him while he screamed in pain. Boris and his gang laughed happily and amusement. And just before they could do anything, Seichula pierced its pincers on Ben's neck hard like it was sucking his blood. Ben breathed heavily before he fainted out.

As the blood from Ben's dried out, Seichula dropped him down. It fell to the ground. Boris and his gang stopped laughing as they looked shock and concern.

"Boys, I think we overdid it," Boris said in concern.

Dum-Dum gulped, "Yeah, we did. We're so dead now! How are we gonna explain to Mr. Spell Nexus?!"

"Worse! How are we gonna tell his parents?!" Boxco asked in concern. He screamed, "I don't want to go to jail! Mercy! What are we gonna do?!"

Boris screamed in pain and concern, "I don't know! This isn't what I wanted! I just want to scare him and make him not take my filly again! I shouldn't have left him in for too long!"

GROWL! Boris and his gang yelped in concern as they heard the growling. They turned to the cage where they saw Ben slowly waking up as his body slowly transforming. He grew more hairy, his mouth slowly got fangy, his mane and tail slowly turned into long and spiky silver colored and his eyes turned into crimson Berserk Mode. He roared in anger.

"Oh boy... We're dead..." Dum-Dum said in concern.

Boxco nodded, "Ben is back from the dead! He's coming for our head!"

"A Demon Pony?!" Boris exclaimed in shock. He gasped, "He wasn't dead. He was bitten to turn! And yeah, we're dead!"

"What is going on?!" The firm voice demanded. Boris and his stooges turned and found Spell Nexus entered the science lab. He gasped upon looking at them and Demon Pony, "What are you doing here?! And is that-?! Sweet Celestia! Is that Demon Pony?!"

Before anyone could respond, Demon Pony roared in anger as his eyes glowed darkly and reddish. He rammed through the cage very hard. He then charged and rammed both his bullies and Spell Nexus but not before leaving some scars on Boris's face. Demon Pony turned and quickly escaped by ramming through the window. He headed straight to the hill as he howled wildly and wolf-like.

"After that runt gave me a scar, he disappeared. And so, I lied to everyone about this mess. Couldn't let anyone know about Ben..."

Flashback Ends


Everyone was in shock yet upset and angered of what Boris had said. They turned and looked at Ben or Demon Pony, who nodded that the story is confirmed and true.

"You lied to everypony! Just to cover up for your stupid pranks?!" Pinkie Pie demanded in anger.

Fluttershy hissed in anger, "Worse... You even make Twilight to have nightmares about losing Ben to Demon Pony!"

Spike nodded, "You should be shame of this! Putting Ben in Seichula's cage, just to give a warning! You're all gonna be sorry for making Twilight upset and sad!"

"Yeah! You're bad! No! You're the worse ponies!" Nyx exclaimed in anger.

Everyone exclaimed in anger and upset about what Boris had done to Ben eight years ago. They refused to forgive him and his action.

"Not only that, he ruined mine and Sunburst's friendship with Ben!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in anger, "We both tried to help him, but you make him do this!"

"Hey! It's not my fault if that kid is so stupid!" Boris protested.

Megan huffed as she crossed her arms, "Either way, Princess Celestia will like to hear about this! All three of you will be in jail! Guards, arrest them!"

"No!" Sibrand refused. Everyone gasped in surprise and shock, and even Boris and his gang. He continued while holding his sword at them, "Like I said before, you all have been poisoned by Demon Pony. And the only save you, we must vanquish the Demon Pony and the infection!"

"What?! That's not the plan!" Boris exclaimed in anger before whispered angrily to Sibrand, "And I need Twilight alive too!"

"We will not! These fools have been hallucinated for too long! We must not let them out!" Sibrand whispered to Boris, "I'm trying to save your flank, again!"

"Well, I don't need it! Yours is complete stupid and mad!"

Both Sibrand and Boris argued with each other furiously and angrily about how to deal with the situation. Their own unit remained calm and silent as they waited for the order. Twilight and her friends quickly whispered for the moment.

"Either Sibrand knew about the truth or gone crazy like lunatic!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed in annoyance. Everyone nodded in agreement. She sighed, "We have to get Ben out! We'll distract them as long as we can. Megan, Nyx, I want you take your friends and Spike away from here."

"WHAT?!" Megan, Spike and Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in shock.

"You all have to keep Ben safe until you all get to Princess Celestia! She needs to hear about this!"

Flash nodded, "She's right. Princess Celestia need to know this! No matter what happen, Ben has to talk with her!

"But what about you?" Megan asked in concern.

Mane Six and Flash Sentry smirked as they looked at each other. They then nodded in agreement. As they and their friends turned and faced Boris and his gang, who constantly arguing about the situation. Pinkie Pie fired her Party Canon at them in creating smokes out. Boris, Sibrand and their gang arguing and screaming as they punched each other hard and painful.

"NOW!" Twilight Sparkle ordered.

"Huh?! What about you?!" Ben or Demon Pony asked in concern.

"We'll be right behind you! You have to tell Princess Celestia about what's happening especially this! Now go, Ben! Go!" Twilight Sparkle ordered angrily, "We'll hold these morons off! Charge!"

Twilight and her friends charged right at Boris, Sibrand and their gang in keeping the enemies at bay. Megan, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike quickly grabbed and moved Demon Pony as they escaped at once.

As soon as the puff of smoke disappeared, Hellhounds held Twilight and her friends to the ground. Boris, Sibrand and his gang looked and glared at the defeated heroines.

Boris and his gang put the Anti-Magic Collars on both unicorns while using Wing Cuffs on both Pegasi. They then cuffed Mane Six in tight rope before thrown to the ground hard.

"Hate doing this but I've got a rival to hunt," Boris armed and loaded his Diamond Snipe Blaster, "And this time, he's mine!"

Sibrand huffed, "I still against this idea."

"My dogs! My rule! Let's move out! Time to kill that Demon Pony!" Boris exclaimed proudly and wildly.

Twilight groaned in anger, "Boris, leave Ben alone now! Leave him alone!"

"Sorry, Twilight... In this Game, you either take what you want as a winner, or-" Boris said darkly, "DIE as a loser... with NOTHING! I maybe scaredy kid before, but this time, I'm not! I'm going to make sure he's dead!"

As Boris and his gang continued walking out of Forbidden Eastern Chamber, Twilight Sparkle screamed in anger and upset as he called Boris to leave Ben alone.

Mane Six struggled in getting out from the tight ropes.

Flash Sentry groaned, "Somehow, I really get into sticky situation like this!"

"Ooh! These ropes make me look fat!" Rarity complimented before glared at her necklace, "This is even more ugly!"

"Really, Rarity? You're worried about accessory and looks?" Applejack asked dryly.

Rainbow Dash groaned, "Either way! We're stuck! I can't believe we're beaten so easily by Boris and his low-life! So uncool!"

"What are we going to do?" Fluttershy asked in concern.

Twilight hissed as she sobbed tearfully, "I can't give up! I just can't! Ben needs me! I have to protect him! I'm gonna get him back!"

As her tears dropped on her necklace, it then glowed in purplish and brightly. It gave a powerful electrical surge upon destroying Anti-Magic Necklace, Wing cuffs and ropes. Mane Six were surprise and shock of it.

"What was that?" Pinkie Pie asked in surprise.

"I don't know," Twilight admitted, "But I do know that we have to help and save Ben before Boris killed him! We have to let everyone know the truth about it!"

"Alright! We're with you! We're gonna make sure your love is safe!" Applejack comforted while patted Twilight Sparkle's back, "Let's go now! The little fillies and Megan needs us now!"

"Better hope he stayed alive!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in concern.


Megan, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike were running together with Ben Mare across the hallway of Canterlot Castle. They then quickly entered the entrance ground before they closed, locked and barricaded the door.

Heroes: Got to Run
Got to Hide
We've got to keep Ben safe
Unafraid, although the danger just increased!

Boris, Sibrand and their army have arrived before the entrance's gate. Both Monster Hunters and Sibrand's Knight armed themselves as they rammed and knocked the door as hard as they can.

Monster Hunters and Sibrand's Knights: You can run!
You can hide!
Here we come, we're fifty strong,
And fifty ponies can't be wrong!
Let's kill the Demon!

Megan, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Ben held the door tight. But each time Boris's army rammed and knocked the door, they got pushed and knocked but quickly held the door.

"It's not working!" Ben exclaimed in concern.

Megan hissed in concern, "Somehow, I wish my family and some Royal Guards were here. We could have push all of them back!"

"Who's there?! I warn you, knights and hunters! This castle will not welcome you and your rude behavior!" The voice exclaimed firmly.

Spike gulped, "Now we're trapped!"

"What are we gonna do?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in concern.

Ben gasped in realization, "That's it! Alfred!"

Few minutes later, Boris and his army have managed to rammed the door out. They found the entrance hall is empty. No sign of Ben or any of his friends. Despite of that, they're armed and readied to attack if there's any surprise and ambush. So far, nothing and quiet...

"NOW!"

Just before Boris and his army could do anything, servants and maids jumped out from their hiding places as the latter attacked the former fiercely and determinedly, with their household tools and non-sharped kitchen tools.

"It works!" Megan exclaimed in surprise.

Ben smiled as he turned to the old Unicorn Butler with grey short mane and tail dressed in his black butler's suit, "Thanks, Alfred. I knew I can count on you."

"Anytime, Master Ben. I'm so relieved to see you alive," Alfred said happily, "You must tell your mother now! She needs to know!"

"He will! Don't worry!" Spike exclaimed.

Megan nodded, "Ben! You have to go now! We'll hold them off!"

"But-!" Ben exclaimed in concern.

Nyx interrupted, "Go, Ben! We'll handle with them. This is nothing! Now go!"

Ben hated to leave his friends handle with the enemies by themselves. But he knows he has to tell Princess Celestia about what really happen eight years ago. He turned and quickly headed off at once. Megan, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and Alfred turned and kept Boris and his army distracted as long as they can.

Boris spotted Ben's climbing up the stairs. He nudged his six Hellhounds to turn and chase after his rival.

The servants of Canterlot Castle continued battled Boris's Monster Hunters and Knights as well as keeping them at bay as long as they can. The enemies got beaten and knocked out quickly and painfully by the servants.

Sibrand groaned as he wielded his sword tightly. He swung his sword in attacking the servants, who dared not to go near him. A sudden tap on his shoulder, Sibrand turned to his back. He got his head hit by a teapot of boiled water. He screamed painfully while covering his face, feeling boiling water on him. He turned and glared at his enemy - Alfred. Alfred coughed heavily as he gave Sibrand a tray. He cleared his throat.

"Thank you." Alfred smiled. He gave Sibrand a hard punch, making the latter fell down hard. He snorted, "That's for your inappropriate and rude behavior. You don't deserve to be the Princess's Castle Knight."

Dum-Dum screamed in anger as he chased after Apple Bloom around and around the pillar for few times. As they kept on running around, she quickly escaped. Scootaloo poured the mop liquid soup on the ground, making Dum-Dum screamed fearfully as he struggled in standing still. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo tripped Dum-Dum. Megan came in as she gave him a whack by her stick.

As Sweetie Belle was trying to run away, her tail got pulled. Boxco chuckled as he held her down while pulling her tail hard. Spike spotted it as he charged in before giving Boxco a taste of his Dragon Flame. Boxco screamed painfully and wildly while letting Sweetie Belle out on midair. Boxco fell to the ground hard while Spike grabbed and held Sweetie Belle.

"Thanks, Spike!" Sweetie Belle thanked happily as she gave Spike a kiss.

Spike chuckled happily yet nervously, "Aw... It's no big deal."

Sibrand, Boxco, Dum-Dum and their army slowly getting up while arming and readying to attack again. The servants armed themselves. Sibrand and his army chuckled in amusement as they're readied to attack. Servants remained firm and steady for the counterattack. And just before anything happened, Nyx flew before Sibrand and his army.

"STAND DOWN!" Nyx shouted.

Nyx gave Sibrand and his army 'The Stare'! They screamed and panicked fearfully while commented and remarked of the Devil's Stare at them. The servants charged in and gave Sibrand and his army a big knockout. The enemies moaned and groaned painfully.

Everyone turned and looked at Nyx as they wondered where on Equestria did she get 'The Stare'?!

"What?" Nyx asked in surprise, "I just got it from Fluttershy. Gotta admit it. That was awesome!"

Apple Bloom giggled, "Can't wait to see you try on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."

Megan sighed, "Okay, kids. Enough with the jokes and fun. We've got somepony to save."

"We'll take care of these jokers. Please, take care of him. His mother needs to see him," Alfred pleaded while holding Megan's hand, "All of us depending on you and your friends!"

"I just don't understand. Who is his mother?"

"Time only can tell. Now go! Get him to Princess Celestia now! She needs to know about this!"

Megan nodded in understanding as she, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike quickly climbed up the stairs to find and get Ben before Boris get to the latter.


Ben has arrived at the throne chamber. And just before he could do anything, Hellhounds charged and jumped on him. They attacked him fiercely and wildly while biting and chewing on him hard. Ben struggled yet painfully fought them back hard by kicking and punching them off. Hellhounds were thrown aside but readied to attack. And just before he could do anything, Boris charged and rammed Ben to the window outside.

Ben groaned as he struggled in getting up. Boris then kicked him out to the rooftop. He then approached to weakened Ben as he armed and readied with his Diamond Snipe Blaster while Hellhounds followed his master.

As soon as royalty and military soldiers managed to calm the crowds down, they turned and looked up. They found Boris and his Hellhounds are engaging Demon Pony. All they could is watch the battle.

"Aw... What's the matter, Ben? Too scared to fight back?" Boris asked in amusement. Ben grunted in concern and worry. He readied and armed his gun at Ben, "You will and always be the coward. You'll never be strong or brave like me. And everyone you know will forget about you because you're a monster."

Ben looked down in shame and upset before took a deep breathe. He turned and glared at Boris while growling and snarling.

"I'm not. You are!" Ben exclaimed in anger.

Boris groaned, "You're gonna be sorry for insulting me!"

"You're gonna be sorry for everything you've done!" Ben exclaimed as he charged and kicked Boris's gun off. He smirked, "No gun."

Boris groaned angrily, "Get him, my hounds!"

Hellhounds roared angrily as they charged and attacked Ben. Boris then armed with his knife as he joined the battlefield.

First Hellhound jumped while pounced Ben to the ground as the dog tried to claw at him who dodged and avoided the attacks. Ben quickly kicked it off. The first dog landed on the ground as he charged in at once. Both Ben and Hellhound continued battling with each other fiercely and wildly while avoiding the attacks. As the first Hellhound struck his attack, Ben dodged down and gave the uppercut on its jaw very hard. It died.

The second and third charged and rammed him off the rooftop. They both jumped on him. Ben quickly rolled back at once before he clawed them hard. They fought back. Ben and two Hellhounds continued striking their claws at each other hard and fiercely while dodging the attacks. Second rammed Ben off. Third one jumped and readied to pounce on him. He dodged down before he bites its tail as he whacked it on both sides before thrown straight at second one. Just before two of them could get up, Ben quickly rammed the tower hard in making it fells its bricks on both down.

Boris and another three Hellhounds charged at Ben at once. Boris swung his knife at Ben, who dodged and avoided them for few times. As Boris thrust his knife at Ben, the latter grabbed the former and thrown at the fourth Hellhound. Two Hellhounds charged in at once while he quickly turned and ran away. He stopped at once. And just before two of them could kill him, Ben dodged down while letting two Hellhounds jumped over him and fell to their deaths. As the fourth Hellhound slowly got up, it jumped and bite on Ben's back fiercely while making him struggled and roared in pain. As Ben tried to get Hellhound off, he grabbed its leg and thrown straight at the balcony's sharp barrier.

Ben grunted in pain as he turned and glared at Boris, who is armed with his club. Boris roared in anger as he charged and attacked Ben fiercely and wildly. Ben dodged and avoided the attacks while moving back as quickly as he can. Boris chased after him at once

Boris came across the darkest area. He spotted something looked like Ben. He charged and whacked him hard. But instead of blood, it was rocks. It was just gargoyle statues. It's not just one but many. He armed and readied to attack Ben.

"Come out and fight, runt!" Boris demanded angrily as he walked across the hallway of gargoyle statues. He hissed, "Hiding won't help you! Did you honestly think she did this because she love you? You're just stupid kid who don't even know when to quit!"

As Boris arrived at the end of gargoyle statues hallway, Ben emerged from his position as he readied to attack. Sensing danger, Boris turned as he swung his club at Ben, who dodged the attacks for few times. They came towards to the rooftop's edge. Ben is trapped.

"It's over, Ben. Twilight Sparkle is mine!" Boris exclaimed proudly.

Ben groaned in anger as he rammed Boris hard, making him to drop his club. He then grabbed the Monster Hunter's neck as he turned to the edge. Ben is about to drop Boris down.

Boris screamed, "Let me go! Let me go! Please! I'll do anything! Anything!"

Everyone was watching the event as they're filled with shock and concern about it. Ben glared at Boris for the moment as he wanted to kill his bully for everything he has done. His anger slowly formed remorseful and concern, Ben realized that he shouldn't do it because he told himself he's different from Boris and not monster as well.

Ben dragged Boris in while glaring at him, "Get out!"

Ben dropped Boris down hard. Ben sighed calmly as he knew it's not easy to let go of his grudge against someone he had hated the most.

"BEN!"

Ben turned and looked up at the throne chamber's balcony where Twilight and her friends were waiting. He smiled happily yet relieved to see his love of life alive and alright. He then began climbed towards them. Upon reaching his target, Ben held his hoof or paw on Twilight Sparkle's face gently while looking at her. She responded by looking at him while holding his hoof.

"You're alright..." Ben said in relief.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, "Of course. I'm alright. It's okay. It's over."

Ben nodded happily as he leaned his head close to Twilight Sparkle. Mane Five and their allies smiled happily and relieved that both of them were reunited and together again. As Ben was about to kiss Twilight, he felt a sudden pain before screamed and roared in pain. Everyone gasped in shock and concern.

As Mane Six and their allies looked at Demon Pony's back, they found Boris had shot his Platinum Bullet from Diamond Snipe Blaster. He then proceed with stabbing on his rival's wounds, making Ben screamed in anger and pain as his eyes glowed dark reddish. Ben turned and grabbed Boris and thrown straight at the walls hard.

And Just Boris could do anything, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie gave him a hard stomp on his face. Boris moaned painfully as he got knocked out.

Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy and Megan helped and brought Ben in as they all checked on him now. Megan took the scalpel and some medicine as he tried to get the bullet out while tending his wounds. Twilight Sparkle held Ben's head as she began crying in despair and pain.

"Twilight, why are you crying? I'm here with you now..."

"Ben... Ben, I'm very sorry..." Twilight Sparkle said in shame and regret. Ben was confused and concerned. She continued, "For everything, if we hadn't met, you wouldn't be in this mess. I'm sorry..."

"Twilight... If I hadn't, I would be still the same shy and coward pony. And it's not fault anyway for falling Boris's stupid lies. I'm such an idiot..."

"Don't talk like that, Ben. You'll be alright. We're together now. Everything's gonna be fine, you see..."

Ben breathed heavily as he held Twilight's face gently, "At least... I get to see you... One... Last... Time..."

As Twilight Sparkle was about to hold his paw, his fell to the ground. She turned and found Ben slowly closing his eyes while giving a last breathe like he's meeting his end. He fell to the ground. Everyone gasped in shock and concern of what they saw.

"No! No! Don't die on me! Twilight needs you!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in anger and upset, "You can't! You can't die! Come on! Wake up!"

Megan quickly gave CPR on Ben a few times but no response. She was in shock as she stood up and turned to others as she gave a shook. Everyone gasped in shock and concern of what they just heard.

"Ben? Ben?! Ben!" Twilight called and pleaded while shaking Ben's body. No response. She began formed her tears as she cried and sobbed tearfully. She landed on his chest and cried, "Beeeeeeeeeennnnnn! Nooooooooo!"

Everyone looked down in despair and painful. Megan looked down while holding her hat down against her chest. Rainbow Dash looked away. Pinkie Pie sniffled unhappily as she took her handkerchief to wipe her tears. Fluttershy cried while covering her face. Three older sisters comforted the pained and despaired crying Cutie Mark Crusaders. Spike and Nyx held and hugged as they both cried unhappily. Flash screamed in agony and pain while slammed his fists on the ground.

Ben Mare is gone...
