Before long, Sebastian's flight took the pair close to the edge of Ponyville. There, they saw a most unusual pair. Spoiled Milk stood in naught but her sweater - all jewelry gone - as she ranted and raved at the pegasus Diamond Tiara had described. Swooping in silently, Sebastian settled atop a nearby tree where the entire tableau was visible to him and audible to himself and his passenger.
"This is all your fault!" Spoiled shouted out angrily.
"I'm terribly sorry-" the stallion began in an obsequiously fawning tone.
"Oh cut the fake servant act!" Spoiled snapped irritably. "I already know better, there's no one around to fool, and it's getting annoying."
The stallion ceased his cringing and servile behavior, standing upright and looking down his nose at Spoiled. "You should mind your tongue," he chided in a much stronger voice with hints of playfulness in the tone. "Remember who you're speaking to."
"I'm speaking to an incompetent who claimed to be a Reaper!" Spoiled snarled. Sebastian tensed in response, Scootaloo craning forward in interest as he did. "An incompetent who couldn't even kill my husband properly!"
"It's hardly my fault I don't know how to hold my beautiful scythe with hooves I've never had before!" the stallion countered in an aloof, offended tone. He waved one hoof dismissively. "Given how clumsy these are, you're lucky I even managed to wound him...not that his death would have done you any good-"
"A last will could have been contested in court if he hadn't filed the divorce proceedings while alive!" Spoiled snapped back. "But a living will doesn't present that option! Because of your ineptitude, I've lost everything and have no legal means to get it back!"
"And what do you expect me to do about it?" the pegasus taunted cruelly. "You certainly can't take it out on moi."
"No, but you can help me fix it!" Spoiled snarled. "Starting with that blasted lawyer! Kill him, read his record, get his papers, and we can change the Last Will enough to nix the Living Will completely...especially if that blasted Applejack just so happens to kick the bucket, too!"
"You really think you can get away with that?" the 'Reaper' questioned darkly.
"I have a Reaper in my pocket!" Spoiled snapped out. "Who's going to stop me?"
"That would be us," Scootaloo spoke up coldly, nudging Sebastian with one hoof. He immediately flew down to land before the pair, letting Scootaloo step off his back.
Spoiled rounded on the pair. "You!" she spat with venom dripping from her voice. "I don't know what your involvement in this is you flightless brat, but-"
"On my authority as Head of House Wingshadow, and on the evidence presented to me, I find you guilty of conspiracy to commit multiple murders, including that of your ex-husband, Filthy Rich," Scootaloo declared in her Noble voice, letting it echo and reverberate through the field. She enjoyed watching Spoiled's face fall off as she pulled out her family crest. "You are granted no plea, no rights, no representation. The judgement of the Shadows is swift and final. Sebastian!"
"Yes, My Lady?" Sebastian responded immediately.
"Sebas-chan!" the stallion squealed eagerly. "My, my, you do look quite handsome as a griffon! All black is truly a good look for you..." He fluttered long eyelashes Sebastian's way. "Though it could do with some red..." Reaching into his wings, he pulled a crimson chainsaw out and licked the blade.
"...Grell Sutcliff," Sebastian groaned, not liking having this particular suspicion confirmed.
"What are you playing at!" Spoiled shouted angrily. "They're going to kill me! Protect me you idio-"
"Oh, do shut up!" Grell snapped out angrily, revving his chainsaw to life and swinging it. However, his grip was somewhat clumsy. Rather than a lethal strike as he probably intended, the strike took Spoiled in the mouth, damaging teeth and tongue and sending her flying away. "I finally found my dear Sebas-chan, and I will not let you get in the way."
"So why are you involved in all this?" Scootaloo asked flatly. "How did a mare like her get the assistance of a Grim Reaper?"
Grell chuckled darkly. "Why, I was simply passing through this part of the multiverse in search of my sweet Sebas-chan, and heard her complaining about a pure black griffon by that name!" he purred wickedly. "I sensed a demonic contract in effect somewhere, and I thought there was a chance it was him! So I tagged along and did her dirty work, to see if it would lead me to him...and so it did."
Scootaloo groaned irritably. "Is he always like this?" she demanded of Sebastian.
Before Sebastian could respond, Grell snorted disdainfully. "'He'? Of all the nerve!" His voice took on tragic overtones. "Just because I was cursed with the wrong gender when I came into existence is no need for you to deride this beautiful woman just waiting to flower dazzlingly-"
"Then why didn't you apply for the Gender Reassignment Spell this Friday with the Princesses?" Scootaloo asked flatly. "That particular spell's been on record for five centuries, though it takes alicorn magic to permanently alter that fundamental aspect of a morphogenetic field, so the Princesses make a day available every third Friday of each month for anyone who needs it because their minds and bodies are fundamentally different genders. There's even spells to check for that, though they were originally developed to detect the effects of brain washing."
Grell stared at Scootaloo, completely slackjawed. "You...you have that here?"
Scootaloo glowered angrily. "Not for you anymore. Sebastian! This is an order! Feed him his own wings, then shove that 'scythe' of his up his plot blade first!"
Sebastian and Grell both blanched. "His...plot?" Sebastian inquired in confusion.
"The other hole that's spouting nothing but horseapples!" Scootaloo snapped back.
Sebastian grinned viciously. "Yes, My Lady!" he purred before moving into a battle stance.
Grell feigned a tragic air. "Ah! Once again, my love, we are doomed to fight! As Reaper and Demon, we are forever doomed to be on opposite sides-" His attempt at a dramatic pose was flawed as he fumbled with his scythe. "Uh...can you give me a minute to get better acquainted with hooves?" he asked hopefully.
Sebastian's grin widened as he flexed his talons. "I'm afraid not," he purred wickedly. "I am...under orders." He lunged forward.
Somewhere in reality, a tall human with short, neatly combed brown hair, yellow-green eyes, rectangular spectacles and wearing a dark suit worked calmly with a pruner to trim a particularly stubborn tree. He was distracted from his work by a whimper of pain.
Sebastian smiled up at the man. "I believe you misplaced this, William," he purred softly before dumping Grell at his feet and vanishing.
William T. Spears looked down at the de-winged Pegasus choking on his own feathers and bones...then winced as he heard the revving of the scythe and saw its location. "...what have you gotten into this time, Grell?" he growled irritably.
Grell could only whimper in agony.
Spoiled, as it turned out, survived the strike from the Scythe. However, its magic had affected hers, permanently robbing her of her ability to speak, a damage no Equestrian magic could repair as it was forced upon her with the magic of death. As such, Scootaloo decided she was to be locked up for life under the Wingshadow authority, granting her no appeal, possibility of parole, or visitors. In thirty years time, she would undergo psychological testing to determine if she could be reintegrated into Equestrian society.
With that done and Spoiled handed over to the Guards to carry out the sentence, Scootaloo and Sebastian made their way back towards Sweet Apple Acres. "...Sebastian?" Scootaloo asked curiously.
"Yes, my lady?" Sebastian inquired diffidently.
"Was...was it really necessary to tie his tail around the handle to lock the chain in the 'run' position?"
Sebastian chuckled wickedly to himself. "Did I indulge too much, My Lady?"
To the odd aftermath of that brutal demoralisation...
Okay but why though?
Brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant
Sadistic Bassy...you're sadistic.
Holding something with hooves would be difficult
That's the Grell we love! You have been missed, Reaper!
8240488
I'm not sure what you mean.
Somewhere I can hear Undertaker's insane laughter because he heard about the most recent fight between Sebastian and Grell.
Oh, right. Scootaloo isn't a complete nob-jockey and uses Sebastian at more than 5% of his power...
Still, a delightfully sadistic and comedic end to the fight.
......ow just ow.... chainsaw scythe in the butt is just..... (shudders)
To quote a phrase:
Heaven or Hell!
LET'S ROCK!
A fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy...
8240522
not to menchion that sabastion tied grells tail to the handle in the on position
Okay, now that Grell has been introduced and shown that Equestria can give her what she desires ... potentially ... why not have her resurface later for said procedure ... tying up THAT loose end and giving the Miss Sutcliff the resolution she'd been denied in canon.
Wow, that certainly sounds like a potential plot for a comedy one-shot.
Things that Sebastian want to do to this persistant Reaper for a long time. I would say he was pleased with himself.
I would go and find and then put on that clip of the Joker laughing but it doesn’t quite have the right feels to it

8240623
Yeah. Just reading this..........I couldn't help but cringe (in sympathy), laugh (better him than me) and have my OWN hole pucker up from just the thought.
Now that right there is the devils work chile.
8240661
How about the scene from Home Alone 3 where one of the bad guys got smacked in the junk by a crowbar and sang a good opera note for a good ten seconds?
I'm not gonna read this Fanfic, but I do have a question. What is this Crossovered with?
8240891
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Butler
Much easier for transponies in this setting, can swap genders and be sure it's what they really are. It may be unpopular to say but some trans folks only think they are the wrong gender, just remember I said some not all, you can confuse not fitting the norm for being "wrong" when your just different.
Back to the story, gotta feel bad for Grell, Sebastian was extra rough on him this time. And I do pity Spoiled Rich, wanting to kill her husband shows she is screwed up in the head.
8240954
"Black Butler"? Ooh. I never heard, nor watched "Black Butler before to tell the truth. Just wanted to ask what Crossover it was is all. Thanks anyway.
Dang. That was unexpectedly cold from SR.
And does that death magic thing mean that Filthy is permanently out of commission?
Is it wrong I kind of wanted to see Grell get the spell cast on him and then work for Rarity as a model???? Because I think the two of them would have clicked nicely. Still, given the way Sebastian acted around him, Grell is enough of an annoyance that his fate was hilarious!
Whoa... Sebastian, that was harsh... Ugh...
8240503
Why the chainsaw up the butt?
8240956
That's why the spell to check. It was originally crafted to check if someone had been brainwashed, as it scanned for fundamental incongruities between mind, heart, and body. It was discovered quite by accident that it could tell if someone's mental and spiritual gender did not match their physical. When this was discovered to be a thing, Celestia worked for two weeks straight with the brightest minds of the world to create a spell to fix it. Eventually, Alicorn magic was the key, since it acts more directly on the magical fields and physical reality than unicorn magic.
Of course, the spell is used for more than just trans ponies. Some same sex couples will also apply for the spell to be cast on one of them so they can have children without surrogates or adoption. However, the process is longer for stallion couples than mare couples. After all, a mare turned into a stallion to inseminate her partner can change back next month, but a stallion turned mare to carry a child has to stay that way anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on if they decide on nursing or formula. Thus, same sex mare couples use this option far more often than stallion couples, who generally prefer to choose to adopt.
However, same sex couples who use the spell for this, it's been discovered, will only have their own sex of offspring (stallion couples have colts, mare couples have fillies). This is why Equestria's population gender balanced is so skewed towards mares.
8241037
No, Filthy's not permanently out of commission. It just means magic can't fix him. If his will to survive and connection to the living world is strong enough, his life will eventually overpower the death magic, and he'll wake up.
8241177
Scootaloo's way of sending a message to Grell about what happens if he doesn't take the hint and stay out of Equestria's affairs.
hmmmmm... nope
8241300
Good to see there's hope, then.

If you're not going to read it, why does that matter?

Black Butter
Badly written jokes asidse, the Anime is quite good albeit very graphical, so if you’re under 13 you should not see it...
well i havent watched far with the Black Butler anime but i guess Grell is a very big pain in the ass for Sebastian later in the show correct?
i guess Sebastian found some relief and pleasure with the ass whooping he gave Grell in this chapter.
... i wonder if Grell will make a return (after recovering from the trauma and injuries) and apply to the gender switch spell and if Grell gets into another fight with Sebastian after the gender swap i wonder if Grell gets the chainsaw in the other hole
Okay.. Ow, even for a Reaper, that would be... horrifically painful, for Grell... I approve!
........ cartman laughing all the way to his grave and beyond ......
Isn't grell female?
Never mind.

You're entitled to your opinion, just as I'm entitled to think you an unsophisticated bore. Even Knowing Better defends that crass garbage as being clever, and I'm unable to figure out why.
Granted, they occasionally get one or two issues right, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. The rest of the time, South Park is an offensive, crass show full of juvenile potty humor with foul-mouthed brats thrown in. I like my animation to be cultured, or at least have charm. South Park has none of these things.
