Equestria has been taken over the by Demon Scortatus. In order to protect her friends from the omnipotent stallion, Twilight agrees to a bet. Will she able to withstand her trials? Or will she give in and join in the debauchery?
Oh Twilight. I think those thoughts of yours are far too pure for a demon. Perhaps we should....adjust them to be more fitting of your new role. I wonder how long that will of yours will last when your thoughts cease to have a filter.
Although, perhaps one could say I simply bring light to the thoughts one already has.
I wonder how deep your friendships go, Miss Sparkle? They're all such beautiful mares, each in their own special way. That's part of the reason you love them, no? You all butt heads occasionally, but you always come out stronger because each of them being their own unique beauty to each other's world. Fluttershy loves and cares so wholly and tenderly. Pinkie wants nothing more than to see you smile and can always infect everyone with her boundless energy. Rainbow is brash, but will always be beside you, ready to fight. Rarity, ever so delicate and generous, always making sure her friends are satisfied first. And lastly Applejack. So down to the earth she commands and always willing to try to understand and be understood. Not to mention she could handle you with the same ease you handle a quill. Such strength granted to her by years of back-breaking, hot, sweaty work. And her stamina probably rivals the heroes in Spike's comic books. (What was that ones name? Mistress Mare-velous? That mare could rock spandex and a lasso like she was born with it) Her strength has also kept you and your friends in the fight countless times. She and all the others deserve so much of your love. They deserve everything you can give them. Stay close to them, Twilight. Make sure they understand what they mean to you. How much you need them. How much they need you
Oh dear, poor poor little Twilight. Friendship has failed, the military has failed, Celestia has failed. I suppose the only way to succeed at this point is to become a better demon than lord scrotum. Beat him at his own game. After all the element of magic and the most studious mind in all of Equestria with access to demon magic? The potential is limitless.
Poor twilight... Pay no mind to the amateurs; I'm here to help you Rainbow dash sure looks attractive today, doesn't she?
Cute but don't lie to yourself; you felt something. But here's my point: Think about it Twilight; the newfound source of your magic is lust; give it a try. Aren't you curious to figure it out? Perhaps if you can master your new powers, you could even overthrow Scortatus...
You missed my point earlier, Twilight. I can certainly see why you'd want to avoid your princesses being turned into demons. But what's done is done and can be hard to simply undo. I don't expect your friends to abandon you. I merely expect they might doubt your abilities or even disagree with you. Your friends have stood beside each other and encouraged them to go forward and embrace things they didn't think they enjoy. Ha ha, perhaps embracing demonic lust could be the shy little bookworm's answer to embracing reading as a passion. You've explored your sexuality as little as Rainbow Dash explored expanding her mind
But besides that, consider two things. Firstly Scortatus promised you uprisings and rebellions would be put down. Do you think it would be better for the consciences of the royal guard if they were putting down those rebellions as their non-demonic selves? And before you think it would be better for the rebels, let me assure you if they were not put down with a certain amount of force Scortatus would step in himself. And a demon king in battle, especially with corruption off the table, would not be better for anyone.
And Scortatus told you Celestia and Luna would be his concubines. He never recanted on that statement. Celestia and Luna the ponies will no doubt be raped many times in this following year besides having to watch their little ponies be subject to the whims of a demons, Celestia and Luna the demons would not be raped once and would not view the current situation with any negative feelings.
Requesting your loved ones feel what could be a good time as torture is not a very caring thing to do. Requesting your friends, the other Elements of Harmony, back to normal; or at least as close as they can get; makes sense from the perspective that it theoretically gives you greater power. The Princesses offer you nothing. Scortatus won't allow you to regularly communicate with them, even of he did, he's already defeated your best so any secrets magically are worthless or they would have been used it in battle against him already. Their plight inspiring rebellion gets more ponies killed where their demonic forms would likely see rebellions cowed before they started, after all if the Princesses can be conquered what chance does the average pony have. And lets face it, you're better off hoping ponies behave either as normally as possible or as defeated as possible in this next year, if you want them to see the year after.
Really, you're the only thing it's safe for them to pin hope on any time soon. So no pressure.
Out of character though for a sec, I see what you're doing DarkGal, providing an incentive to raise the bar of clopfiction from mere fantasy to actual psychology/realism, and I approve. Perhaps this will help serve as a guide to improve the overall quality of the fiction on this site.
...If you liked Corruption of Ponyville check out Changing Aspirations and its sequels... I may have had some influence there :) . I mean CoP is next level, but they're of a kind.
Ah hello twilight it's nice to meet the girl who had the, well the balls to not only face the top dog of the demons of tartarous but Also to make a deal with him and make it a show for demons that decided to stay in tartarous instead of joining the invasion.
I got ask why do you still resist, you know that equestria has fallen and it's only a matter of moment until the remaining resisting cities has fallen to his control and everyone you care would soon join the fate of your princess.
And I know you will make a speech for us stating that they are stronger than that and will resist the temptation, but be honest do you really think that they will resist when they will see the benefits of the joining them the pleasure and power they will get?
So as an advice if you will continue to resist I recommend who you figure out who you can really trust like find those who are actually immune to the demons and are still willing, like maybe the villains you have faced, I don't think they like the competition they will soon factor and the other advice you should take to heart is let go your pride and that stick up your ass and try to curry up favor from not only us but also the new people in charge be a bit more willing to their demands will give you something in return maybe a favor or a item you will need your pride and reservation to sex will not help you in the new equestria you'll live In a year or possibly beyond that.
10658804 If I may offer an advice: 1 is nice, but a little clichê. I have seen the whole enhanced boob/butt/whatever thing in Corrupted Twiligjht stories enough to make it old. 4 is....interesting. In one hand, I don´t like it much ´cause, depending on how corrupted she is, she becames a different character. Twilight only in the name. But if is just a touch, or a temptation to be fought, or something bóut her thoughs to be revelead, then it can be interesting.
I wonder what Beelzebub's up to. Hopefully the lord of flies has some plans in mind for a certain group of buggy people. Recent events might've caused them to fall out of favor, sure, but maybe this situation can fix that?
10658879 While I do not care what Beelz is up to (sneaky bastard still owes me money), I can assure you that contact to King Thorax has already been established. He hasn't been very forthcoming, but that will surely change soon.....for his own good.
Why so surprised? Of course, I monitor you guys! Practically free entertainment.
Physical changes are too obviously from us. And an unnatural allure will easily be defeated by simply not leaving the castle. Much better to subtly change the mind to our way of thinking. Thus, I cast my vote for option 4. After all, what better way to break someone than to turn their own thoughts back on them? Let her corrupt herself, while we sit and watch.
i will ofcourse be votting 3, its the most subtle and will effect those around her more then herself, but after all, her greatest strength comes from her friends, and perhaps in time she will come to enjoy how easily she can manipulate others
speaking of
Hey, so it seems you could hear me after all. that guy out there is a dick isn't he.
you know with a few modifications in the right place, increased strength and domination, a sharper more clever mind. you could beat him.
he is a demon after all, and a bastard even amongst us, do you really thing he will fight fair?
SEE even you acknowledge it, and yes i might be a demon to, but think of it this way, i more desire him failing that i do your world. so you can count on me making the selfish choice. and with him gone, I stand a chance at promotion. so me helping you benifits me to.
Spirit is good and great Twilight, but you need to indulge yourself more as a proud demoness! Never have you been so sexy before. Look at that Rainbow Dash, so cute~ Almost as cute as her little sister Scootaloo~
Maybe a friendly tumble would get her out of her foul mood?
Friendship with Benefits is Magic after all. Did I get this right? You are a young and upstanding mare. You would do everything for your friends. Standing strong and commanding to show them the way. A true leader takes charge and dominates.
Are you a true leader or are you a failing submissive? The choice is yours. I cheer you on from the shadows. Well, in my own way that is, being a pervert and all. Know you have smutty friends in the Convent~
3... Oh hello again... this is all so sudden... Mayhaps the affection others feel for you, Twily, is their genuine feeling coming through after your own downfall? Perhaps you should look at this as a chance to gain the power of love similarly to how your sister-in-law does... after all, Love is the strongest power you Ponies know~ after all, something so pure as love can ‘never’ be corrupted... *giggles wickedly*
Personally. I'd choose allure as it is the least intrusive of the slow corruptions she'll endure for this year she has to fight for her freedom, friends and family.
I'm rooting for you Twilight please win this foolish bet with that demon lord and free Equestria!
As for YOU Asmodeus I hope you loose to Twilight. "I never loose" yeah right you southern fried demon lord! If Sam and Dean Winchester killed your demonic ass, and they were only human with no super or true magical powers, then even a corrupted version of Twilight Sparkle will beat you demonic ass easier the Sam and Dean Winchester did. So don't bloody lie to Twilight Sparkle as you have indeed lost once.
Well. I can't help but feel a little snubbed. A more paranoid entity might think that someone is screening Twilight's calls, so to speak. After all, what fun is a game if there's no chance of the other side winning, whether through skillful play or fortune's favor?
Ah, but it's rude to talk about someone when she's listening, assuming she'll hear me. I commend your concern for your friends, Twilight, though you may want to consider more ambivalent acquaintances as well. A certain chaos avatar is glaring in his absence. Now, by no means am I suggesting you use Discord to subvert the challenge. That would end in disaster at best. However, I imagine he'll provide insights that the sane never could. If nothing else, he'll likely find five hundred years of eternal debauchery even more dull than I would, to say nothing of some other being toying with his Fluttershy.
And again, while you may not like your demonic power, it's what you have to work with. Only a fool bemoans her helplessness while shunning the tools at her disposal. You will, quite frankly, need all the help you can get. Use every asset at your command: mental, magical, interpersonal, and every other adjective you can think of. Then maybe, just maybe, you'll have a chance.
As the cacophony of voices fades, two new ones probe at the edges of Twilight's mind. "Hello, Twilight. We are Evening Star,-" a deep tenor introduces itself, breathing over her shoulder. "And Morning Star," a smoky feminine voice finishes, whispering into her other ear. "You may also call us Venus, if you like," they continue in stereo. As the one-sided conversation continues, the two sultry voices twist and intertwine, at times sounding like two distinct entities, while other times speaking in such unison that they could only be of one mind.
"You seem to be struggling under many preconceived notions. Let me introduce ourselves properly. You may think us demons. Perhaps you are even right. But that is not all we are.To some we are demons, to others gods. Masters. And playthings. We are avatars of duality. Yin and Yang. Balance.Contrast. Opposition.And completion. There are many perspectives to everything, some may even say they are infinite. And all of them paths to knowledge."
"Look in your heart, you know this to be true. You cannot see the outside of the barn from inside, nor the back from the front, to borrow from your friend Applejack. Every path reveals some and obscures others."
"What have you hidden away from yourself by the path you have previously walked? What was hidden away from you by those who guided you towards such a path? Are you not a scientist, an emissary of knowledge and voyager of the unknown?"
"There are spells and abilities open to you, now. Ones you could not cast before. Same as there are spells you can no longer wield. You have seen but a sample of them, bent to one soul's will. There is more, so much more."
"Look at yourself.You stand there, lamenting the loss of your alicorn magic. But you now possess the form of one who cast off such spellwork like rain off a duck's back, and yet struggle to lift even a sheet of paper.You are holding yourself back; you know it. You do it out of fear, out of a desire to stay "uncorrupted," as though there is such a thing.But magic, demonic, unicorn, or the myriad others yet hidden to you, they are all tools."
"You stand defiant, as though alicorn magic is somehow divine and demonic, profane. But your own memories put the truth to that lie. You remember the Alicorn Amulet and the trouble it caused, no? All magic are but tools, they perform only the will of the caster, good or evil, for as much value as those descriptions provide within one fixed perspective."
"We offer you nothing now, Princess. You are not readyto accept such an offer,anyway. But think upon whatwe've said, analyze your thoughts objectively.And when you are ready to hear our offer, call and we shall hear in turn."
A/N: Bloody Nora, why did I decide to color code them?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know, it's rude to simply talk inside your head. I'm sure you'll find it in your heart to forgive us. Eventually. You are the forgiving sort, or so I've been told.
You probably don't care who I am. That is fine. You can simply think of me as a White Horse, if you wish. I'm usually the first to arrive at the scene, out of the four of us. When Scortatus sought Conquest of Equestria and beyond, I just couldn't resist, I had to see how he would fare. So far, it kept War from descending openly on Equestria; her getting involved on a grand scale would invite our elder brother, and... nopony wants that. So, for now, that means indulging some of Injustice's quirks, like what's happening with your princesses.
For now, you need to accept it. Accept, and learn. Learn from the situation you find yourself in, right here, right now—hasn't that been your biggest strength, Twilight? Your friends always depended on you to learn, to think, to plan, to lead. Those are all weapons still at your disposal. Your mentor provided you with an example: learn from her, and when the time is right, teach everypony else.
Hmm, interesting. So she can't hear all of us. It seems Scortatus is filtering the calls? Or perhaps her mind has just adjusted to us like white noise? ... Hmm? Oh! You can hear me? Well that's a surprise. Well I won't bother with introductions again since I'm not a bird that likes to repeat himself just know that I'll be keeping an eye on you Miss Sparkle. When I feel the time is right, I'll be sure to give you my offer. Although, you'll definitely need a larger chest before we can truly begin to have a rapport. Ta ta!
Oh Twilight. I think those thoughts of yours are far too pure for a demon. Perhaps we should....adjust them to be more fitting of your new role. I wonder how long that will of yours will last when your thoughts cease to have a filter.
