Gala, Murder time fun time!
Griever POV
The party was boring beyond all reasoning, but the nobles surprised me by being respectful to me and not saying anything about Misty except for the mares who said something along the lines of 'we could introduce you to some real mares'. I'm assuming my pets dealt with Blueblood's attempts at turning them against me, but I also knew they were just trying to get on my good side so they could profit greatly from it. I also didn't find Blueblood anywhere so it's likely my pets also distracted him too much which was fine by me as that meant less trouble when Misty and I danced together. Having never danced before I let her lead and just to show off I summoned my wings using divine light and chaos flames, needless to say the summoning was enough to make everyone stare in amazement, the ethereal shimmering wings coated in a thin layer of light blue flames (elemental combination caused this) was what caused property damage via people forgetting they were holding something.
After the dance we excused ourselves from the party and made our way to the bedroom as we waited for the princesses to meet with us on there only day off until the gala. We decided we would finish Trigun by the end of the day and then whatever we could of Orphen. The time flew by quickly, but we managed to finish both to my surprise, they loved Vash needless to say, but liked Orphen more which made them more excited to hear it had a sequel and a game before they left (looking back at the game it was meh). The night was eventful as Misty and I celebrated my knighthood before falling asleep.
The week passed by faster than I thought it would, but I'll blame that on me having too much fun with the guards. By the way they finally learned how to dodge and are now working on blocking and parrying, but that will have to wait until after the duel. It is just half an hour before the gala and I'm helping Misty put on her dress which is harder than I expected so I asked one of the maids who was also apparently tasked with bringing me to the party. She made quick work of Misty's dress before guiding us to the princesses and Blueblood apparently.
"I hope you're ready to learn your place beast." of course, he's already starting shit
"I am, and I will become Legend." Okay maybe not
"Could the 2 of you please keep hostilities to a minimum until the match?" Celestia asked
"I will, if you'll excuse me I will be waiting for him in the training ring. We will have on lookers won't we?" I asked
"Of course." Goooooooood
"I'll see you there, would you like to come with me or stay with them until the duel?" I asked Misty
"I'll stay here, the princesses are good company after all." she said
"I'll leave you to it then." I made my way to the barracks first so I could put on the Giant Dad gear then made my way to the training ring to find no one was there. I decided to play some random music and the first song was 'The Price of Freedom' (Crisis Core), then Blackheart (Two Steps from Hell), and finally Let there be Fire (Aviators) before people finally started gathering around with the others and Blueblood armed with a longsword and in medium looking armor leading them, and surprisingly those 6 ponies from before.
"This is your last chance to beg for forgiveness before I decide to kill you and put that mutt where she belongs. And what is that hideous armor and mask you're wearing?" I heard Misty laughing after seeing I was serious about this old meme
"I'm sorry for not killing you sooner, I am also sorry you are so intellectualy lacking that you can't see the outcome in my favor. Before you die though I am going to show you a legend." he was about to respond but Celestia started first
"Are the fighters ready to face one another in the Duel of the Reaper's Judgement?"
"I am." he said as I played the music again, this time it was See What I've Become (Zack Hemsey)
"Welcome to Dark Souls, I will be your tutorial."
He was first to attack with a magic bolt, but I blocked that and walked towards him. He tried to cut my head off, but I parried him and kicked him to the side.
"You can try to make this fun for me, you know that right?"
I just kept kicking him again and again as he was about to swing every time until he teleported behind me
"ENOUGH!" he shouted at me only to be back parried and kicked again
"The next time you don't dodge it's going right between your legs." he charged at me again so I threw him off by shield bashing him this time
"Have you tried dodging?" he screamed in rage
"I will end you!"
"You'll die trying, for The Legend never dies!" he unleashed spell after spell at me and I parried them all using a slightly modified Grass Crest shield for a few seconds before I decided to let a few hit me. My entire body was hidden by the smoke so I stepped out of it imitating the 'Well what is it' emote. His confidence turned to fear then rage afterward and he tried the same thing again.
"Why aren't my spells affecting you?" the man-child asked
"Poise working as intended." He screamed then started spamming spells again
"Oh please prince, when has that ever worked?" I slapped him across the ring "As a wise man once said 'git gud'." I leaped towards him like the Abyss Watchers and destroyed his shield he conjured before shield bashing him again then cutting him a few times with the Chaos Zweihander. He tried to stab me through one of the openings in the armor, but his weapon broke on contact.
"Looks like someone isn't taking good care of his weapons."
"Why did my sword break?" he asked fearfully
"My armor is highly resistant to magic and physical damage, it was made by giants after all." I broke off his horn then as a man of my word I kicked him in his jewels. Seeing as this battle was already won I used elemancy (darkness and blood) to hold him still and keep him quiet as I spoke to the crowd.
"You all think yourselves superior just because you are nobles or royals don't you? You're wrong, it is as simple as that. It is a title and nothing more that you inherited from your ancestors, but how did they become nobles? They earned it either through battle or playing a big enough part in starting a golden age. A title won't protect you, your blood won't protect you, you are just as much a mortal as anyone else, you bleed the same blood even. It is actually blood that is being used against Blueblood right now, specifically the water in the blood, but that's not important. His ROYAL BLOOD did not protect him and is now being used against him even." I could feel their hatred
"Your titles mean nothing when you neither have anything to back it up nor anythimg to rally others behind it. Your bloodline means nothing when you bleed just as easily if not moreso than others. A king with no one to lead is just a man with a title and nothing to back it up. Those of you who still see me beneath you and still would after this duel are in for a rude awakening. As the last and most powerful human to ever live I may as well be your God as it is only because of humans that the races of today even exist. All the sapient races of today descend from humans thanks to science going too far. If it weren't for us there would be no you. If anyone has a right to look down on the other it is me, and after this I will be above you in everyway, but unlike you I'm not a fan of looking down on others as I prefer to see them as equals." I raised my sword to kill Blueblood, but turned to Celestia first
"I'm feeling merciful, would you like to spare your nephew?" I asked
"The Duellum de Messorem Iudicium is a duel to the death, even if I wanted to I couldn't." and just as I was hoping for Blueblood's face turned from pained and livid to despair
"As I said, your titles, your bloodlines mean nothing in the end, neither saved your 'superior' from me nor did any of his 'superiors' of 'purer bloodlines' save this poor soul." I said to the crowd. I enchanted my sword with more chaos flames, and added abyss magic, wind, and lightning before releasing him and cleaving him in 2, the elements disintegrated him. What I saw sickened me to the point I had to remove my mask and lose my dinner. I saw him watching a slave ring forcing them to kill eachother and other things I would love to forget, what sickened me the most wasn't the number of people there, but what all the mares were forced to do, even fillies if the little girl in front of him was anything to go by. I was able to remember a few names.
"Celestia, Luna, remember these names and this address. Jet Set, Upper Crust, Gilded Plate, Smooth Diamond, Golden Trim, Flame Soul, Flame Heart, Risky Transaction, Soarin, and Lost Hope. They are all here and guilty of crimes including but not limited to kidnapping, slavery, second hand murder, rape, child molestation, child pornography, and likely bribery, blackmail, and framing others. And many more are guilty, all the names mentioned are here."
"Preposterous!" Jet shouted
"You can't just accuse us of crimes and expect us to be punished! As if anypony here would take part in such heinous and barbaric crimes!" Upper Crust shouted, chaos ensued until Luna shouted as loud as she could which shut them all up
"We will see this ourselves." I put a dome of light around the area to keep as many as I could inside and placed a small shadow snake around every unicorn's horns to keep them from teleporting. She played the memories and everyone was left speechless at this revelation before several arrests were made
"Princess, you can't honestly believe this brute! Those memories could be fake, there isn't any proof of such things even happening in Canterlot!" Jet Set pleaded
"Even if I can make fake memories or rewite them I haven't found a way to do so." I said
"Honest Applejack, are Sir Griever's words true?" Celestia asked
With tears in her eyes and looking kind of green "As much as I wish he were, he ain't lyin'."
"Those are Blueblood's memories by the way." I looked to Fluttershy and the others "Do you remember what I said before? How someone can lose the right to live? This is exactly what I meant. The ones who don't get killed at the scene will either be executed if they're lucky or imprisoned for the rest of their now worthless lives." All the arrested individuals were taken elsewhere "The question isn't whether or not someone can be forgiven or redeemed, but whether or not they deserve a chance to earn it, whether or not they are even worth the effort." I turned back to the princesses "The address is on Royal Treat Avenue. I'll take us there." I summoned my wings and flew there with the pricesses and a few guards in tow and landed in front of the door in the alley way. I knocked and the slit in the door opened
"What's the password?" I punched through the door and grabbed him
"Open Sesame." I pulled him as hard as I could into the door and kicked it forward. Making my way down the stairs I killed anyone who wasn't a slave and of course freed the slaves as I went. I was as angry if not moreso than when the spell to help Misty was interrupted. We found the arena and interrupted their fun. I knew the guards would take care of the ones who escaped so I let them leave. As per my agreement with the princesses I left whoever they reached first alone and looked for anything resembling a record book. I found what I was looking for and went outside to find a hundred or so nobles (out of 300-ish) in chains and their victims receiving whatever treatment was available. I gave the book to Shining and told him to go crazy. I saw a straggler come out holding a child as a hostage demanding everything unreasonable, not that he would get it anyway.
"Seems reasonable." everyone snapped to me "But I like my way better." I used the shadows to force him to stab himself then shot a firebolt clean through his head before flying away and back to the gala to see if anything was still going on. Misty was chatting with those 6 annoying ponies, but I wanted to make myself more presentable so I went back to the barracks and put on the kings raiment before meeting back up with her.
"I wish I could unsee all that, but even if I can't the price was worth it." Rainbow flew up to me
"What's your problem? I was supposed to have impessed the wonderbolts and you ruined it!" she yelled in my face
"You mean to tell me I should have disobeyed the order of both princesses and not hesitated to point out and arrest or kill murderers, rapists, slavers, pedophiles, and frauds? You mean to tell me I should have let them do as they please? That after seeing those memories yourself that Blueblood didn't deserve to die?"
"Well no, but-"
"So you're bitching for the sole purpose of doing so? Gotcha."
"Parties are supposed to be fun." Pinkie sniffled
"Everyone has different definitions of fun, some are more twisted than others. 'One man's fun can be another's hell'."
"To think this was the state of the nobility. I can't believe I wanted to live that kind of life." Rarity said
"Those in power more often than not fear 1 thing and that is losing it. And those who fear losing it just as often take drastic measures to keep and gain power. While there are good people in power they tend to not be as well known as others. Even they can fear losing the power to help others and do anything to keep it thus even they become corrupt if not in their goals, then their methods."
"How could anypony be so cruel?" Twilight asked, trying to make sense of the situation
"I like to think of it as a human trait. It is so much easier to be a sinner and in some cases more profitable and fun. A life can be worth a lot so it is easy to take advantage of that. That's why it is called the 'Highway to Hell'. The other reason is how they were raised if at all or maybe a similar mentality to school bullies. If they think they or know they can get away with it then they'll do it. The primal desire to see others beneath you, it is one of many undeniable traits of humanity, as as descendants of humans yourselves this trait exists in you, some of you are just better at suppressing it than others." I said looking at Rainbow
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked
In an almost perfect voice imitation "The names Rainbow Dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria and future wonderbolt! My stunts are gonna blow you away as you see who's the awesomest pegasus you'll ever see." turn my voice back "Tell me that doesn't sound arrogant or egotistic and mean it." she didn't respond to that
"Was all this really necessary? Did they really need to die?" Fluttershy asked knowing I killed a lot of people today
"Some lives are simply worth more than others. Any number of things can determine the value of a life, they can be that person's abilities, status, wealth, location, gender, personal attachments, age, and more. An innocent will always be worth more than a criminal, a child will always be worth more than a parent, a patient will always be worth more than a doctor, a loved one will always be worth more than a random stranger and so on. Any value their lives might have had was null when they became willing participants in these crimes. They traded life for pleasure so by having 'the punishment fitting the crime' it's only fair they lost their lives or livelihood." She was shaking in what I'm assuming is rage
"Even if I didn't kill them they would die anyway. People like them tend to be at the bottom of the food chain in prison and given the number of people they've ruined they won't live to see the next gala. If the axe doesn't fall on them, then they'll likely die to their former slaves, friends and families of the victims, or the other prisoners, especially if they were sold out or wrongfully imprisoned because of them. Their choices are ultimately narrowed down to die by me or die by any of them, the end result is the same, just the how and when is different. If I didn't kill them someone else would have, and unlike me they would have made their deaths as humiliating, as slow, and as painful as possible. What I did was show them mercy."
"This is wrong! Everything about what you just said is wrong!" Fluttershy said
"Deny it all you want, it won't change anything. I know how people think, I know what to expect given all the information I have on people and similar situations. People like them never change, the laugh and smile as others are screaming and wailing in misery because their victims aren't just 'beneath' them, they exist only to serve them. There are many words to describe people like them, and the most accurate would be evil, monsters, and demons."
"What about prince Blueblood then?" you must be brain dead if you're asking that
"He was in on that slave ring and quite possibly why it remained hidden for so long. He challenged me, winner takes everything including wealth, status, power, memories, and even the soul. Had he won he would have needed to die as he would have had all my powers, my memories, and access to some of if not the most powerful weapons in the world and he would have used them to create a new Equestria in his image. Those memories were just a taste of his Equestria, and to say he didn't need to die is the same as saying his Equestria is acceptable, that there's nothing wrong with it. A psychopath on the throne is already a recipe for disaster, give that psychopath an arsenal of extremely powerful weapons and the power of a God and reality will become a nightmare. This world would be cursed and in 10 or 20 years probably wouldn't be worth saving. I'm getting irritated after an already shitty day. You can do what you want Misty, I'm going to bed." we kissed each other goodnight "I love you."
"I love you too Ryan, I'll be joining you shortly."
"Wait, I thought your name was Griever." Twilight said
"It is."
"But she just-"
"I go by many names, she just knows me best by that one." I left quickly before anyone could stop me.
I'm going to need a vacation already, and I'll torture Blueblood later. Tsukuyomi styled torture maybe? Naaah, that's too tame.

its saints row (I don't remember which number) with PROFESSOR GENKI'S MURDER TIME FUN TIME *insert explosion here*
9239228
Finally, now if only more people would get or at least point out my references
Hmmm...
If it wasn't a duel to the death, but he still got everything, Ian would have offered him the standard contract. 1000 years in a barren universe, alone, immortal (no suicide no aging no breathing no eating no drinking no sleeping), started by five days of every pain receptor in his body being active while being forced to stay conscious. At 1000 years, Ian links with his mind, views his intentions, ideas, thoughts, emotions, etc and then if he has changed his ways he will be re-released back into his home universe. If he has not changed, it will start over at step pain. If he is released, Ian will preform a follow up visit every twenty five years and view his memories and intentions. If he has done anything seriously wrong, he will start over at step pain. Once his species has died out, if he is in his home universe he will be released from the contract, and by extension released from his immortality. If he is in isolation at the time of extinction, he will be sent to his home universe and not released from his immortality. Ian will also no longer visit him. Therefore, he will face what every immortal fears: permanent complete isolation.
I'm thinking a combination of Silent Hill like torture plus with a touch of medieval torture, things like the brazen bull.
Fluttershy, you are the most brain dead moron ever!!!!!
