Alex’s POV

“Hey mom, I’m home!” I shouted to my Mom, as I burst through the front door of the house.

“I’m in the kitchen honey,” My mom called back. ‘I had just gotten home from school and I was really excited. Why you ask? I was excited because I was finally able to play the final level on Dragon’s Dogma’s new content, Bitterblack Isle. I had just gotten to Daimon but had to go to bed before I could finish it, but not this time’. 

“I’m going upstairs to finish Dragon’s Dogma Bitterblack Isle,” I said dramatically on purpose to be funny as I rushed my way through the house. I headed upstairs with my backpack in tow thinking ‘Nothing can stop me now!’ until my mom spoke up again. 

“Do you have any homework?” my Mom asked. Luckily I was prepared for this. I somehow managed to get all my homework done on the bus on my way home. Thank god I am the last stop. 

“I got all my homework done on the Bus mom,” I replied back. 

I heard my mom chuckle before she responded. “Alright sweetie, go and play your Dragon’s Crogma game.”

“It’s Dragon’s DOGMA mom an-! Wait, how did you know I was going to play it?” I asked, eyebrow raised as I stopped climbing the stairs and looked back. 

“You play it every day, son,” She replied back. I could easily imagine the knowing smirk she had on her face. I facepalmed. Of course she would notice by now. 


I sighed and shook my head, resolving to worry about it later. “Alright, talk to you later mom!” I shouted as I continued upstairs. 

“Bye sweetie!” she called back.

I dashed into my room and slammed the door shut, sighing a bit, before grinning broadly. I then tore open my video game bin looking for my prize. It took about a minute but then I found it. Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen. I quickly powered up my Xbox and got my game controller. Once the loading screen came up I waited patiently for it to start. 



~10 Minutes later~ 


My female Arisen, Aleia, was just walking the stairs up to the final boss of Bitterblack Isle, Daimon. I did some research - via Wikipedia - on Bitterblack Isle and learned everything about the boss, his name, attacks, and lore. I won’t bother you with the lore but basically Daimon is an Arisen who was cursed by the Dragon.

I was a magic Archer with armor decent enough to battle Daimon and not get one-shot since I’m playing this on hard mode. I don’t usually pay attention to what the Armor’s called, I just look at the stats. Judge me however you want, it’s what I do. Deal with it! 

Anyway I’m walking up the stairs and start to hear a menacing voice speak. 

“I have raged, and wrought destruction,” it started, the sound of the voice making my grin widen and the hairs on my neck stand up. “Naught shall remain,” it finished.

I guessed that was Daimon, and I guessed right when the cutscene started. 

(A.N: Daimon is the creature on the cover holding the armored man,)

The camera started to close in on a massive creature sitting in front of an old looking throne surrounded by skulls. The creature looked up toward the screen as it’s eyes glowed an ominous red. It then slowly stood on its clawed legs as its long wings spread out. It then flew up into the air and crashed down in front of my Arisen and towered over them as it flashed it’s menacing claws and whipped it’s tail back and forth. This creature was easily bigger than twice the size of a human. This was Daimon, Final Boss of Bitterblack Isle. 



~40 Minutes later~



I was so close to beating him, so close to victory. Then, it happened. I had just stopped Daimon’s Rift Vortex and now he was stunned. I jumped on his arm as two of my pawns were hacking away at him, depleting his health pool. I managed to hit him just enough to send him onto the ground. Now I could punish him. 

Soon enough I had about two more hits left and he would be dead. I was so happy I didn’t notice the bottom left side of my TV screen sparking. I only noticed it out of the corner of my eye as the sparks started getting bigger. “Ahhhh!” I screamed and jumped away from my TV. The sparks kept getting bigger and bigger until they covered my whole TV. I was panicking like crazy. My head was spinning and my thoughts were all over the place. I could hardly think straight. I was now on high alert panic mode as my head frantically scrambled for a solution. Finally, I got some common sense and rushed for the door. I was just there as my TV exploded in a flash of purple colored lightning. I was thrown next to my bed, my skin burned and my eardrums ringing. The last thing I heard was my Mom screaming my name from downstairs before I passed out. 

If I had stayed conscious a little longer, I would have noticed a black and green, smoke-like vortex sucking up my body.



~Some time later~



I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. One thing I knew for certain, my body ached. I felt like I hadn’t moved in days. I slowly reached my hand in front of my eyes to block out the sun when I realised something. “Why does my hand have claws?” I asked myself. I then tried to sit up, which I successfully did. After I was in a sitting position, I felt something weird on my back and right above my butt. 

I then stood to my full height and noticed I was in a forest. Looking myself over, I almost fainted. I had clawed feet and clawed hands that were a dark shade of green. I then looked behind myself and saw a familiar looking, lizard-like tail. Suddenly, I felt something touch my face and turned my head to see a rather large wing. I then did one more test to see if my growing assumption was correct.


“Testing, Testing, one two, one two,”. My voice was definitely not this scary or deep before. What is going on. “What in the world, why is my voice so deep”? He asked, starting to panic. I looked around for something to use as a reflection and found a small puddle near a tree.

I ran over quickly and stared into it. I luckily could see my whole head, but was not happy with what I saw.  I saw every detail, from the goatee to the curved horns on my head. I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t believe it. 

”I must be asleep, yeah that’s right. I’m asleep and this is all a dream” I said nervously. Wow, I still can’t believe my voice is so deep. I then balled my hand, I mean claw, Into a fist and smashed it against my head. It hurt.

”Ooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww!” I howled in pain. I held my head with both hands before my eyes widened and a horrible realization struck me. If i’m feeling pain, then i’m not dreaming.

Selenia POV

I was at my house playing Dark Souls. That’s all I was doing, since I’m like my brother Alex in that I play this game everyday. However, where my brother likes Dragon’s Dogma, I like Dark Souls. I’m not saying Dragon’s Dogma is bad, no no. I just like Dark Souls better. 

I had just made it through Anor Londo and was about to fight Executioner Smough and Dragon Slayer Ornstein. If you’ve played Dark Souls you would know who Smough and Ornstein are: the bosses of Anor Londo. Smough is a giant, fat, guy with a massive hammer. Ornstein is the smaller one with the spear and golden, lion-like armor. Smough’s attacks are mostly with his hammer and body slams, all of which are very slow. Ornstein is MUCH faster and has ranged lightning attacks.

I think Ornstein is much cooler by the fact he is faster, harder to dodge, and has electricity powers. I even made my own red cape with the Dragon Slayer Spear in the middle of it since he’s just, well, he’s just awesome, ya know? I know Artorias is the one with a cape, but I thought Ornstein would look way cooler with a cape. Hey, a girl can dream can’t she?

I had just finished talking to my dad a bit before I started playing. He and Mom wanted to take a small break from each other. They weren’t divorcing, oh no, they aren't even close to that, but they thought it would be a good idea.

I honestly don’t really care. I know my parents, and they aren’t bad or anything, or even have that many problems. They just decided that a break would be a good idea, and I respect that. Either way, I’m having a great time, and so is my brother. I’m 14, just like him and we both are video game fanatics. We both chat with each other constantly over who’s better at which game. It’s just a fun rivalry.

Anyway, back to my game. I just defeated Smough and Ornstein had supercharged himself. He was preparing to fire an electric bolt at me, but I’m prepared to dodge it. “I’ve got this in the bag,” I said smugly, a smirk on my face as I leaned back in my seat and focused.

Right as I dodged it and the bolt went towards the screen, the TV exploded. I was flung into the back wall, burned. Right as it happened, I weakly moved my head at the sound of a chime and saw a text on my phone. I could just make out the words, “Selenia, you and Raymon need to come over now, Alex is hurt!” I read out loud with a strained voice. I wanted to get dad but I was too weak to even move. My room was now starting to burn with fire spawned by electricity, and I started to get dizzy and faint. As I was blacking out, the only thing I could think of was how much I was hoping Alex was ok. I blacked out two agonizing seconds after.



~Some time later~



When my eyes opened, I immediately noticed something was covering my face. I banged my fist against it and noticed it was some kind of metal helmet. I stood up and noticed that I was much taller than I remember. Looking around I noticed a small pond near me. I quickly ran over to it and looked in. What I saw both terrified me and shocked me. 

My entire body was covered in regal, golden armor, with the iconic, snarling lion head-shaped helmet that every Souls fan knew was associated with Ornstein. From what I could tell, I was just as tall as he was.

I then looked around and noticed I was in a forest. I then tested the last thing I could. “Hello!” I shouted. Luckily my voice still sounded the same, just a little more older and more mature. Then the horrible realization came over me as I saw the Dragon Slayer Spear in my right hand. “Oh god, I’m Dragon Slayer Ornstein and I’m lost in a forest….! Well this is great!” I said sarcastically.

While it was pretty awesome to be my favorite character, my, well, ya know, death kinda dulled that excitement a bit. I slowly sat down by the pond, trying to take everything in slowly so I didn’t panic too much. It was a bit hard, but with some controlled breathing, I managed.

I then remember the text message and started to pray that my brother was alright, that is until I heard footsteps coming toward me.

Twilight’s POV (earlier)

Celestia’s sun’s golden rays sliced through my blinds and right into my face. Groaning I turned over on my be, desperate to block out the sun and stay in bed. It all became useless once I smelled delicious cooking from downstairs. The smell of grass pancakes and hay hashbrowns filled my nostrils. With an unhappy groan I climbed out of bed and headed down stairs.

Once I got down stairs I was greeted to the sight of spike making breakfast. Aside from what I smelled, I saw a fruit salad and two glasses of milk. Spike looked over and saw me walking down the stairs and smiled.

“Hey Twilight, I made breakfast” He said as he pulled out a chair and then led me to the table.

“Thanks Spike” I said as he led me to the chair.

“Hey, thats why im your number one assistant. Ha in your face you stupid owl” he said while smugly smiling at Owlicious.

“Hoo” hooted Owlicious as he flew towards spike.

“You!” Spike shouted back right before Owlicious landed on his head and started pecking him fast and repeatedly on his forehead.

“OW OW OW, STOP IT!” shouted spike as he tried to swat Owlicious off of him.

I sat their, failing to stop myself from laughing. I then decided Spike had enough.

“Alright, alright enough you two”. Owlicious heard me and gave a Hoo as he flew back up to his perch. Spike just glared at the Owl and Owlicious glared back. Spike gave an I’m watching you sign with his hands and Owlicious hooted something that I couldn’t but probably wouldn’t want to know what.

After that little ordeal Spike and I went to eat breakfast. I looked over at spike and saw he had made some gem pancakes for himself and was practically inhaling them on site. I laughed and continued eating. After we were done eating I made my checklist appear and started going over my to do list.

“Alright Spike, today me and the girls have a picnic in 2 hours, before that I have time to read and after the picnic i’m going to test some new spells. While i’m gone I need you to reshelve the library, clean up the kitchen, and go shopping for some things I need. Do you think you can do all of that?”

“Yeah I can handle it, but can I go see-”

“Rarity” I interrupted him, knowing full well what he was going to say.
“Yeah” spike answered with a dreamy look and hearts in his eyes.

I just rolled my eyes and went over to my pile of books. “Yes you can go and see her first Spike”.  Spike’s grew huge at my answer

“Thanks Twilight, bye!” Spike shouted and dashed out of the door. I just hoped he would remember what I told him. Now with that settled I opened my first book and started reading. That is until I heard two loud thumps from outside. I was considering going outside to investigate but just assumed it to be Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie. Beside’s I had books to read.

Alex’s POV


So this is where I am now, after all of that mess. To say I was shocked would be the understatement of my life. I almost fainted again but luckily was able to keep myself from doing so. I still can't believe i'm THE Daimon, the Cursed Arisen himself. After I regain control of myself I looked at my surroundings again. I noticed that I was near the roof of the forest. “Well i’m big that’s for sure.”

I felt my head and felt 4 horns on my head. Surprisingly though, I didn’t feel any hatred towards anything like how Daimon in the game hated pretty much everything. I also noticed my voice wasn’t exactly like Daimon’s. My original voice just sounds slightly more Demonic. I basically sound like a teenage Daimon.

With that out of the way, I decided to try and get out of here. I mean, if this is’t a dream, then I don’t want to be in a creepy and probably deadly forest. I looked at my wings and tried flexing them. To my surprise, the wings extended to their full length. I was really excited now. I decided to try flying. I opened my wings and launched myself into the air. Then fell right back down on my face.

I made a massive thud when I fell due to my size. I quickly got up and prayed that nobody saw that.

“Ow” I said as my head was still ringing from the impact. I then looked around to see if anyone did see it. Luckily it looked like no one did. That is until I heard heavy footsteps.


Selenia’s POV


~Couple seconds ago~



After the loud thud I walked to where it was, my new spear clutched close to me. I really hoped that I got Ornstein’s skills and powers along with his armor. I didn’t know what I would find but was certain it wouldn’t be good. That is until I heard someone say “ow”.

The person’s voice sounded very Demonic but also familiar in a way. My instincts were telling me to turn and run, but my curiosity got the best of me. So I kept going.

After a few minutes I made it to a small clearing where i saw something I thought I would never see. I was still hidden behind the trees when I saw it. I saw Daimon from my Brother’s video game. He looked like he just picked himself up from the ground, and the crushed ground under him proved my theory.

I planned to quickly move away before I saw him turn and look straight at me. I was so startled I tripped on the underbrush and fell forward and out into the open, about 5-6 feet in front of Daimon.

No POV

Both Alex and Selenia both stared at each other in shock and fear. Each were shocked to see (Alex) Ornstein and (Selenia) Daimon and were scared about what the other would do to them.

“Aaaaaaaahhhhhh” both of them screamed and jumped away. Alex and Selenia sized each other up. Selenia noticed that this Daimon was different compared to the one from Bitterblack Isle. His arms and legs were the same but his wings were noticeably larger (not by a lot) and that his tail was noticeably longer as well. Alex on the other hand looked over the strange Ornstein in front of him. He first noticed that he, or rather she had a much different figure then Ornstein. Her waist was much more slim as well as her legs. He also noticed that the armored breastplate was much more feminine than normal.

Both warrior and cursed Arisen stared at each other, that is until Selenia got some courage and stood up holding her spear tight in her grip and pointed it at Alex. Alex in turn stood to his full height and got into a fighting stance. Alex and Selenia both noticed that both of them were at equal height but that didn’t put either of them at any ease. They stared at each other for a couple seconds before charging.

“Yyyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”

“Yyyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!” Both Alex and Selenia charged at each other and clashed in the middle. Fist to Spear.

Fluttershy’s POV

I was just outside tending to my animals. I had just finished giving Mr. Bear his lunch when I heard two loud thumps near the Everfree Forest, causing the ground to shake a little. I shrieked and hid in a bush before my pet bunny, Angel, came over and pushed me back out. I then noticed most of the rest of my animal friends were spooked by the thumps as well.

I then decided against my better judgement to go and find out what it was. It was obviously a terrible idea, but what if somepony was hurt. So with my directive in mind, I packed what I needed and set off.

No POV



~Back by Selenia and Alex~



Both fighters were clashing back and forth. Or at least trying to. Alex kept tripping over himself and Selenia kept fumbling her spear. After a few minutes of failed attacks both Dragon Slayer and Cursed Arisen decided enough was enough. “So, who are you, I know you're not the real Dragon Slayer Ornstein.” Asked Alex

“I could say the same about you”. Answered Selenia.

 “Well let's start with names, i’m Alex, nice to meet you”. Said Alex as he held out his large claw.

Selenia smiled and held out her hand as well. “Selenia, nice to meet you as well” she said as they shook hands.

“Heh, it’s funny. I had a sister named Selenia before, this happened” Said Alex, gesturing to himself.

“Hey yeah, and I had a brother named Alex before, this happened” Said Selenia, mimicking Alex’s actions. Selenia and Alex both then had curious looks before Alex spoke up again.

“Hey, how old was this Alex?” Asked Alex.

“14, why?” asked Selenia.

“Because I was 14 before all this” said Alex, now starting to piece things together.

“Wait, was your sister 14, loved to play Dark Souls, and made her own red cape with a picture of the Dragon Slayer Spear on it?” asked Selenia, getting more excited.

“Yeah and was your brother also 14 and played Dragon’s Dogma everyday?” Asked Alex, getting excited as well.

“Yeah,  oh my god, Alex is that you?” Asked Selenia smiling wide under her helmet.

“Yeah it’s me, and is that you Selenia?” Asked Alex Smiling as well.

Selenia nodded and also took of her helmet. What Alex saw next shocked him and made him full of joy. It was the, caramel colored, blue eyed face of his sister. She looked older but Alex still recognized those blue eyes anywhere. Even her long black hair was the same, just longer. Selenia noticed some similarities of Alex in this creature before her too. His eyes were glowing dark green instead of red and his head shape was just like his own if not looking a little older. Both siblings started to tear up before Selenia could say anything was already in a massive hug from her now confirmed brother.

“I’m so glad you're here, I thought I was going to never see you again!” Shouted Alex in joy as he squeezed his sister even tighter. Selenia was in tears of joy and hugged her brother back.

“Me too, after I saw mom’s text I thought you were dead. I’m just glad your ok.” Selenia replied in after drying her tears. Both siblings released each other and stared at each others smiling faces. Then Alex had a confused look on his face before he spoke again.

“What do you mean mom’s text?” Asked Alex. For the next 5 minutes Selenia explained what happened to her before she came up here and in turn Alex explained what happened to him.

“So the same thing happened to both of us? Heh, funny. So what do we do now?” Asked Selenia.

“Well first we might want to get out of this forest but before that, we might want to practice what we can do first, but no matter what we stick together. For survival.” Replied Alex.

Selenia laughed before sarcastically saying “Your quoting Jurassic World now?”

Alex rubbed the back of his neck before laughing sheepishly. Selenia laughed as well before both siblings stood up with determination in their eyes. They then gave each other a nod before turning towards some trees separated from the forest. But these trees wouldn't be there for much longer. Especially since Selenia wanted to test if she could control her Heavy Lightning Spear attack and since Alex wanted to test his Bolide attack.

Trees and nature loving equestrians beware. Selenia and Alex, no, The Cursed Arisen Daimon and The Dragon Slayer Ornstein are here and ready for action.

Fluttershy’s POV

I quickly made my way through the everfree forest. I was constantly looking in every direction in case something like a Timberwolf was following me. The further in I traveled, the louder these strange noises got. These didn’t sound like growls or squacks, or other animal noises i’m familiar with. This sounded like “Talking?”

She walked a little closer until she could clearly make out voices.

“I’m so glad you're here, I thought I was going to never see you again!”

“Me too, after I saw mom’s text I thought you were dead. I’m just glad your ok.”

The first voice sounded demonic which scared me into almost fainting until I heard the next voice. The second voice sounded much more normal and kind of regal like Princess Luna, and more tomboyish like Rainbow Dash, but was still unique in it’s own way.  I also listened to the other voice as well. It was demonic but also sounded like a teenager, a kind one at that. I then thought that ‘maybe these things made those loud impacts?’

So without further delayed, I gathered the courage I had, and headed closer to the voices. I wasn’t able to hear their whole conversation but she did catch that whatever these things were, they were siblings.

I finally walked close enough to see the mysterious creature’s. What I saw shocked me stiff. I saw what looked like a massive demon and a massive, bipedal golden knight practicing fighting and using what looked like magic but it was no magic she recognized. The demon somehow calling down meteors from the sky and the knight was somehow shooting lightning out of it’s massive spear. I then heard them start speaking again.

“Well I think I got Boline mastered.” the demon said with a smirk that would make Rainbow Dash prowd.

“I’ve been getting better at my Heavy Lightning Spear as well.” Replied the golden knight in a female voice.

“Well, now that we know at least one special skill, you want to try physical combat?” asked the demon

“Yeah, and we can use trees as practice”. Said the Knight. Both knight and demon nodded at each other and went to spar with a random tree each one found. The Demon was launching many punches and kicks at the tree while the knight was striking it’s tree with it’s spear in many different ways.

I was both scared and amazed and the bond these two creatures had and how fast they can learn how to fight on their own. I just hoped they weren’t evil. I decided the I should tell Twilight about this and starting trotting back. That is until a loud cracking sound and a louder thud made me scream and launch myself out of the bush and right in front of the knight and demon who slowly turned to stare at me. Both creature’s turned to look at me with shock and to say I was scared would be an understatement.

No POV


~3 minutes ago~



Alex and Selenia were practicing each others different attacks. Alex was practicing and even tried Grand Ingle which after about 5 tries was successful at. Selenia charged up her Heavy Lightning Spear and hurled it at another tree, effectively setting it on fire and turning into a crisp. Both of them smiled at their work and went back to practicing.


~1 min ago~ 


Alex cast Boline again and meteors started raining down from the sky, striking multiple trees and obliterating them in seconds. Selenia also fired her Heavy Lightning Spear again and obliterated the unfortunate tree that was her target. “Well I think I got Boline mastered.” Said Alex after he was done.

“I’ve been getting better at my Heavy Lightning Spear as well.” Replied Selenia, letting her spear rest at her side.

“Well, now that we know at least one special skill, you want to try physical combat?” asked Alex

“Yeah, and we can use trees as practice”. Said Selenia with determination. Alex smirked back and walked over to a nearby, unburnt, tree. Selenia followed suit to another tree. Alex was then practicing his punches and kicks on his tree while Selenia was trying multiple spear combos on her tree. Alex threw a hard punch at his tree and noticed it started to crack. He then smirked as he got an idea.

“First one to break their tree wins. Think you can beat me?” Alex challenged. Selenia turned towards him and smirked on the inside of her helmet.

“Oh I know i can beat you” she said as she immediately started hacking at her tree. Alex started hitting his tree with his strongest hits as well. Both of them had their tree at the breaking point in 4 seconds and with one more hit, a roundhouse kick from Alex and the end of a Swinging Combo from Selenia, each of them broke their respective trees at the same time.

The resulting hits caused a loud crack and both trees made a loud thud after they fell over. Both Alex and Selenia saw it was a tie and were about to comment when they heard a very loud scream and a small thump behind them. They both slowly turned and to their shock saw a small, butter yellow horse with wings, a long pink mane, and the cutest pair of eyes they ever saw.

The horse looked up and straight at them and froze with fear. No one moved until Selenia finally got some thought and said “Hello” quieter than usual as to not startle the horse. The horse just stayed on the ground staring up at them in fear. Alex then thought they were too intimidating so he kneeled down as close to her as he could, Selenia following suit. The horse quickly got to its feet but didn’t move an inch after that. Alex then made a bold move and held his claw out and quietly said “Hi, my name is Daimon. What’s yours?”

Fluttershy’s POV

When the demon now known as Daimon said hi to me and held out his hand, it made me even more on edge but also made me realise something, this creature didn’t want to hurt me. But is still scared me so, I screamed. 

“Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh”  I screamed as an quickly backed up but got scared when I bumped into the middle of a tree.  I then saw the knight walk towards me and closed my eyes shut while shaking. I thought it was going to cut me with its spear, but I was surprised to hear something drop in the floor. I was even more shocked when I was picked up by the shoulders.

I was going to scream again until the knight wrapped me in a hug. Not a bone crushing Pinkie hug, but a nice one that somehow wasn’t affected by the metal armor. I looked down and saw the knights spear on the ground. That must have been the thing that dropped. I then heard the knight start talking again.

“ Were sorry, we didn’t mean to scare you. But it’s alright, we won’t hurt you.” She said in a soft voice. That calmed me down a lot l, which the knight noticed and put me down. I looked up at her with a smile, which the knight returned with a small nod. I then looked back at the demon and saw him rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish look. 

I slowly trotted closer to him, but was shocked at what he said next. ”Sorry for scaring you. I probably should have approached that situation a little different. He he heh. Sorry.”  he said with a small smile but a little too loudly. His loud voice made me fall back, but this time out of shock. He noticed and was going to apologize again, but I beat him to it. 

“No no it’s alright, I’m just very timid that’s all. You just talked a little loudly” I said with a sheepish smile. He smiled as well and thanked me for the alert on his voice volume. He then tried introducing himself again.

”Now let’s try again. My name is Daimon, what’s yours?” he asked in a much softer voice as he held out his massive hand again.

I slowly stood up and tried my best to keep myself from passing out. It took all my willpower not to. They may have been nice, but they were still VERY intimidating. I slowly stood up and looked at Daimon’s smiling face. Up closer, he wasn’t super scary anymore. He still was intimidating but now he seemed more nicer then mean, especially now that Incould see his glowing green eyes.

I was brought out of my thoughts by his massive hand waving in front of my face. “Uh hello, you still there, you never told us your name.” Daimon said with a joking smile as I looked back at him. His hand scared me slightly at first, due to its size, but his tone of voice calmed me down much quicker.

“Oh sorry um, i’m Fluttershy” I answered quietly.

“What was that? We couldn’t hear you.” Said the knight as it knelt by Daimon.

“Oh my name is Fluttershy” I said a little louder this time.

“One more time please?” the knight asked.

“My name is Fluttershy” I said much louder and it looked like they heard me this time.

“Well hello Mrs Fluttershy, i’m Ornstein. It’s very nice to meet you”. The knight now known as Ornstein said with a smile. 

I smiled at how polite they were before I spoke again. “Um, I do have one question though, what are you? If your ok with answering that is” I said, getting quieter at the end.

I saw Daimon just smile kindly. “We’d be ok telling you but, can we get somewhere more private first?” He asked nicely and softly.

I smiled back before answering. “Of course, just follow me back to my cottage. If your alright with that?” I asked softly.

Both Ornstein and Daimon nodded and they followed me out of the Everfree Forest.

Twilight’s POV

I had just finished my next book when my alarm clock went off. “Oh, time to go meet the girls”. I said as I got up I was about to call spike when I remembered he came back earlier and told me he was going shopping first. I gathered everything I needed and set off to our usual picnic spot right outside Ponyville.


~Couple minutes later~


As I made my way to the picnic spot I saw everyone their except Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. “Hey, does anyone know where Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are?” I asked them all.

Applejack was the one who answered. “Can't say sugarcube. Ah reckon Rainbow Dash’s on her way here right now”. And as if Applejack could predict the future, Rainbow Dash came down from the sky and landed right next to Pinkie Pie.
“Hey everyone, what i’d miss?” she asks.

“Nothing”. I answer

“Also do you know where Fluttershy is?”

“I don’t know, she’s probably feeding her animals. She’ll be probably here in a few minutes”. Rainbow answered without any worry. As usual. We all rolled our eyes but just let it slide for now.

“She’s probably right darling, Fluttershy might just be a little late. Now come sit down and enjoy some cake”. Said Rarity as she beckoned me over. I was going to argue but decided to let it go for now, besides we could always just go find her if she doesn’t show up soon.

“Alright, but if she doesn’t show up soon we're gonna go look for her. Ok.” They all nodded yes and I sat down to enjoy some cake and conversation with my friends. But somewhere in the back of my head I had a bad feeling.I just shrugged it of, Probably just being paranoid again.

No POV

Daimon and Ornstein were now following Fluttershy back to her cottage. Each of them were satisfied for a different reason. Daimon and Ornstein were satisfied because they were finally getting out of the forest and that they made a new friend. Fluttershy was happy because she found out what made those noises and that she made two new friends.

After a few seconds of walking and trotting, the three of them made it to Fluttershy’s cottage. As Daimon and Ornstein approached the cottage they were suddenly surrounded by multiple animals. Fluttershy noticed this and before she could stop them, all the animals dogpiled the knight and demon. Only Daimon was actually dogpiled because he was tackled by Mr. Bear. as well. Ornstein was just being swarmed by birds, squirrels, and rabbits.

Daimon and Ornstein were about to attack the animals before Fluttershy came to their rescue. “HEY, all of you get off of them right now”. All the animals immediately stopped their “Assault” and climbed off of Daimon and Ornstein. Said Demon and Knight quickly picked themselves up and glared at the animals and Ornstein pulled out her spear. Fluttershy saw this and stepped in to diffuse the situation

“Guy’s wait. These are just my animal friends. They probably thought I was in danger. Is that Right?” she asked looking back at her animal friends. They all nodded yes. That put Daimon and Ornstein at ease and Ornstein put her spear back away. Fluttershy then turned to her animals and explained the situation.  After a few minutes everybody was at peace. Even Mr. Bear and Daimon. Except one little Angel Bunny. But Daimon and Ornstein could care less since he couldn’t hurt them at all. For multiple reasons.

“So, do you want to come in?” asked Fluttershy while hiding behind her mane. Daimon and Ornstein smiled until they looked at her cottage. It was too small for them to even fit through the door. Or the cottage itself.

“I don’t think we can fit through the door” said Daimon while pointing to said door.

“Oh, I see” Fluttershy said while looking at the ground. Daimon and Ornstein felt bad and looked at each other for advice. They had nothing. That is until Fluttershy got an idea.

“Hey, maybe you can live in the castle of the two sisters, if that’s alright with you” she said quietly. Daimon and Ornstein looked at each other then back to Fluttershy.

“Is it abandoned?” asked Ornstein. Fluttershy simply nodded yes. Daimon and Ornstein looked at each other again before nodding and turning back to Fluttershy.

“Well take it” they said at the same time. Fluttershy’s smile grew big until she got curious. 

“Why do you need it abandoned?” She asked, to which Ornstein answered.

“Because we think that with the way you reacted, other ponies won’t fair much better.” The golden knight answered. Fluttershy was going to argue, until she remembered how everyone reacted to Zecora before she became their friend.

“Alright I understand, but later in the future I will at least try to introduce you to my other friends” She said, to which Daimon and Ornstein smiled, or at least Ornstein would if it could be seen. All three thought this was going to work out perfectly. That is until all of them heard trotting coming closer.

Twilight’s POV


~earlier~


Me and the girls have been eating for a few minutes. Right now Rainbow Dash was showing us her stunts. I was still worrying about fluttershy though. She still hasn’t shown up yet. Now, enough was enough. “Alright girls, i’m going to see what’s keeping Fluttershy” I said as I stood up.

Surprisingly, Rarity joined me as well. “I agree darling, Fluttershy has been gone far to long at this point. Gasp. What if something awful happened to her?” she said with a dramatic hoof over the head.

“I don’t think it’s that bad, but we should still check it out” Said Applejack, to my silent gratitude.

At that point everyone had gathered. Even Rainbow Dash was now hovering right above us waiting to “get a move on”, in her words. So without further ado we set off to Fluttershy’s cottage.

No POV


~With Fluttershy, Daimon, and Ornstein~


Fluttershy was visibly panicking and Daimon and Ornstein didn’t know why.

“What’s wrong?” Asked Daimon. Fluttershy quickly turned back to them with worry in her eyes.

“That must be my friends. I forgot we had a picnic today. If they see you two they’ll misunderstand and do something they’ll regret”. She panically said. Daimon and Ornstein were now worried. They now they could fight but they didn’t want to fight really anyone yet, especially their new friend’s friends.

“We better hide then, do you know where this Castle of the two sisters is?” Daimon asked trying to keep calm. Fluttershy thought for a minute but then had an idea.

“No, but if you can stay hidden long enough until I come back. I could teach you how to fly if you don’t know how. Or you could try it yourself” This suggestion got a smile out of Daimon.

“Alright, we’ll stay hidden until you friends leave and if we can’t figure it out by then we'll wait until you come back. Otherwise well wait here and you can teach Daimon to fly later. Sound like a plan?” Ornstein asked looking back at Daimon for approval. Daimon happily nodded but they all remembered that Fluttershy’s friends were getting closer so without further delay they both jumped and hid in the nearby tree’s.

A couple seconds later. Twilight and the rest of the Mane six showed up just as Fluttershy looked over at them trying to act casual.

“Fluttershy. What are you doing? The picnic already started.” Twilight asked once they got into earshot.

“Oh I was just, um, finishing feeding my animals. I ran out of fish for Mr. Bear and had to go get some more.” Fluttershy said. She hated lying as much as Applejack. But for the safety of her new friends, she would have to at least for today. Twilight was a bit suspicious but before she could ask anything else Rainbow Dash zoomed in and landed right next to Fluttershy causing her to let out a loud “EEEP!” as she jumped 6 feet in the air.

After she landed she was already being dragged away by Rainbow. “C’mon Flutters. I gotta show you my new aerial stunts”. Said Rainbow as she dragged Fluttershy. Followed by everyone else. Twilight was still suspicious but decided to talk to her about it later.

Before Fluttershy was out of sight she saw that Daimon and Ornstein were peeking behind her house. They both gave her a wave and she gave them a smile and wave before hiding back behind the house so a certain bookworm alicorn could see them. “Who were you waving at?” asked Twilight as she caught a glimpse of Fluttershy waving at something.

“Oh, just waving by to all the animals in my house”. She replied and to Twilight’s surprise and Fluttershy’s relief their were a lot of animals in her window at the moment. That put Twilight at some ease but she was still unsure of why Fluttershy was acting so unusual. She was definitely going to have some questions for her pegasus friend later but it would have to wait as Fluttershy’s cottage was already out of sight.

As for Daimon and Ornstein. They headed back into the forest and were getting ready for Daimon to try some flying.

“So. You ready?” Ornstein asked as she saw Daimn getting ready to take off.

“I was born ready. All for an about 1 hour”. Daimon replied. Ornstein just chuckled before Daimon opened his wings and launched himself into the air, and crashed into a tree. Ornstein facepalmed before commenting.

“This will take some practice”. She said while watching Daimon pick himself up.

“You think!” Shouted Daimon while rubbing his forehead. They both just chuckled before Daimon prepared to try again. Unbeknownst to them, there was a hooded figure watching them in the shadow’s of the surrounding Everfree tree’s.

~2 hours later~


Daimon had been trying to fly for 2 hours. He was now finally starting to get it right. It wasn’t perfected yet but he could hover in the air at any height he wanted. He just had to get up their first.  Ornstein was busy looking around the forest. She was bored. “Hey, do you see anything?” she asked as Daimon was hovering high enough to see outside the forest. He also learned he could touch clouds and was using one to disguise himself.

“No, I can’t see any castle. I think it’s much farther then Fluttershy said or it’s hidden.” Daimon said as he landed. Ornstein was about to say something else until she heard a twig snap. She held her hand up as an indignation to freeze and be quiet. Daimon got the hint and immediately froze. Ornstein looked around until she saw a hooded equine walking back into the forest. Daimon turned and saw it to. The figure saw this and took of into the forest, much faster than a being like her should be able to.

“Bro, I need you to leave a note for Fluttershy and then follow me. I’m gonna chase down this punk”. She said as she took off after the figure. Daimon took a few seconds to reconfigure himself and immediately carried out his orders. He ripped a piece of bark of a tree and quickly wrote “Fluttershy. Me and Ornstein are chasing after a hooded figure. Just wait in your cottage until we get back. Sighed Daimon.” He then placed the note on her porch and ran after his sister.

Fluttershy’s POV

We were now packing up the picnic. It has been 2 hours and I was wondering what Daimon and Ornstein were doing. We all said our goodbye and I was about to head off when Twilight stopped me. “Yes Twilight?”

“Fluttershy, what was going on back at your cottage. Your never that late and you kept looking at something back their. What’s going on?” Twilight was getting really suspicious. I had to come up with an answer fast. “I already told you Twilight, I was just waving bye to my animal friends”. I responded as calmly as I could. Twilight just stared sceptical at me. She was about to question me further until spike came to my rescue.

“Twilight come on. Don’t you still have those spells you wanted to try?” Spike asked. Twilight’s eyes widened in shock before she dashed of like Pinkie Pie back to her library. Spike chuckled before following after her. I sighed in relief and started my trot back to my cottage.

Once I got their I saw a medium size slab of wood on my doorstep. I walked over and saw it had writing on it. After I read it I was both shocked and relieved. I was glad Ornstein and Daimon were ok but worried that they followed a mysterious pony into the forest. I didn’t know what to do but I now someone who would know. Zecora. After saying goodbye to my animal friends I quickly flew to see if she knew anything.

Ornstein POV

I was still chasing the cloaked pony. It was surprisingly fast and must have knew this forest pretty well with how it tried to jerk me into several tree’s. Good thing I had Ornstein’s speed. I kept following the pony until I lost it in a large covering of trees. Deciding I had nothing else to do, I headed in the direction I thought the pony wen’t. What I found shocked me. I found a moderate sized hut built into a tree. It also had different colored shades of window’s. I was snapped out of my shock when I heard footsteps coming forward. I quickly turned only to find Alex walking towards me. I smiled and stepped out of the way to show him the tree house. His expression mimicked my first one.

After he recovered, we both then decided to see if this figure was inside that house. So, without further ado. We walked to the front door. It was smaller than I expected. Alex. Being polite. Knocked on the door lightly due to his big hands. After a couple of seconds the hooded figure opened the door. I put the tip of my massive spear at its neck.

“Alright you. What were you doing spying on us.?” I asked threateningly. The creature was shocked at first but then pulled of its hood to reveal a Zebra head with gold rings on its neck and ears and a pretty cool mohawk. It was just as shocked as I was. After a few seconds of staring I decided to speak up.

“So who are you and why did you spy on us?” I asked again while pulling my spear back but still gripping it tightly. The Zebra seemed to calm as well before speaking.

“Well this is a certain surprise. To speak too the two new creature’s I have seen before with my own two eyes. Tell me what a large demon and knight of gold. Are doing at the doorstep of my humble abode?” It rhymed. RHYMED.

Fluttershy’s POV

I was on my way to Zecora’s hut, making sure to avoid the poison joke, when I heard the sound of metal boots. I didn’t know what it could be but I started to get worried and started trotting faster. Once I reached Zecora’s hut I saw Daimon and Ornstein their with Ornstein’s big spear pointing at the throat of a hooded pony. When I saw the tree they were at I knew this must be Zecora’s hut. Then that hooded pony must be Zecora! I was about to rush over until I saw Ornstein lower her spear and Zecora remove her hood.

I started to trot over after they started talking. Once I got in earshot. I saw Daimon notice me and give a friendly wave. Ornstein and Zecora noticed me as well.

They all came over and told me what happened. After the explanation there was only one question left. “Zecora, why were you spying on Ornstein and Daimon?” I asked politely.

“The reason for why I was spying. I saw you walking with these two new friends. The reason I decided to take a closer look at the Demon and Knight. Was because my curiosity was spyked. ” she answered in her usual rhyming.

“Well that put me at ease, how about everyone else?” Daimon asked. Ornstein nodded yes same as me and Zecora.

“Oh we forgot to introduce ourselves. My name’s Ornstein.” She said with a polite bow.

“I’m Daimon. It’s nice to meet you Zecora.”Daimon said as he held out his claw for a shake. Zecora happily took and shook it. Well as much as she could since Daimon accidentally lifted her of the ground.

“Sorry” he said sheepishly as he set her back down.

“It is quite alright my strong friend. Would you like to join me for some tea and some bread?” she asked politely as we all nodded until Daimon spoke up again.

“Wait. Me and Ornstein can’t fit through the door. Were to big.” He pointed out. We all thought for a solution until Ornstein perked up.

“I have an idea.” she said as she whispered something to Daimon. Daimon had a realization look on his face and they both went over and chopped down some trees. They took some of the smaller ones and Ornstein made them into equal height with her spear. 

Daimon took the larger logs and used long vine’s to tie the logs to each other, making a wooden platform. He then placed it on the 4 pegs Ornstein made and both of them used more vines to tie the platform to the pegs. Once they were done, I saw they made a wooden table. A pretty good one to.

“I admire your resourcefulness. With the right material’s you two could make something truly marvelous.” Zecora Praised with a kind smile. Daimon and Ornstein nodded with respect. I smiled as well as Zecora went back inside to prepare tree’s. I looked back at Ornstein and Daimon and saw they were making chairs now. 

My smile got even bigger at how helpful they were. But I was still worried about Twilight. What if she finds them before i’m ready to introduce them. While I was worrying. Ornstein noticed and placed a large, gold armored hand on my shoulder to calm me down. It worked. She motioned me to sit in one of the finished chairs and I complied.

Right when they finished Zecora came back with the tea. I felt much better now but I still had one question. “Mrs Ornstein. If you don’t mind, can you please take your helmet off? If your okay with it that is.”

Twilight’s POV

It has been 2 days since the picnic and Twilight has been getting more and more suspicious. She has been gone more often and always has the same excuse. “I was just checking on my animals.” At this point it’s ridiculous. I know she loves animals but it’s been harder to find her ever since she started using that excuse. I’ve even have caught a glimpse of her heading into the everfree forest!

I’ve decided to ask Zecora if she’s seen anything. I was nearing her hut but saw something weird, even for out here. She was just trotting back into her hut with nothing on her. No ingredients for potions, no materials for crafting things, no nothing. Ignoring that fact, I trotted over to her door and knocked. In a couple seconds she opened the door and was happily surprised to see me but she could also tell something was bugging me. “Hello there Twilight Sparkle. What has you in such a pickle?”

“Hi Zecora. I was just curious if you’ve seen Fluttershy come through here by any chance?”


No POV

Zecora immediately knew what Twilight meant. However she made a promise to Fluttershy.


~2 days ago~


After Fluttershy asked Ornstein to remove her helmet she started to shift nervously in her seat. She didn’t completely trust Zecora. She wasn’t suspicious of her but she was still wary. Daimon noticed and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Hey it’s alright. Fluttershy already proved she can be trusted and if she trusts Zecora. That’s good enough for me.” Ornstein was shocked. It’s like he predicted what she was worried about and reassured her in the same sentence. That made her feel much better. He was right anyway.

“Alright. I trust them. Sorry for being suspicious.” She apologized to Zecora. Zecora just smiled and waved it off.

“It is quite alright my armored friend. For i know you did not mean to intend. But I am still curious, of what’s behind that armored lion head. So please show us, for we are all a friend.” the Zebra replied in sincerity. That made Ornstein feel much better. So with more confidence, she grabbed at the rims of her helmet and pulled it off. Fluttershy and Zecora were shocked to see what her face actually looked like. To them she looked like a hairless monkey with caramel colored skin and a long black mane and sparkling blue eyes.

“Wow. Your very pretty Ornstein. I really like your mane.” Fluttershy said with a smile. This made Ornstein blush big and smile sheepishly.

“Thanks. For me it’s called hair though. Also i think Zecora’s hair is cooler though” She praised. Zecora’s smile got bigger after hearing that.

“Thank you Ornstein, for the kind compliment. But to get your hair as nice as that, is nothing short of a great accomplishment.” Zecora praised with respect. Ornstein smiled warmly at the compliment but Daimon spoke up next.

“I know this is all happy and all and i hate to ruin the fun but there is something we need to talk about” Daimon said with a serious face. The rest of them were confused so he continued.

“We have to ask that you don’t tell anyone about us” he said and surprisingly Zecora nodded immediately.

“I understand, your reasons to stay subtle. A demon and knight in Ponyville, may bring nothing but false propaganda and trouble.” She responded. Ornstein and Daimon were shocked but Fluttershy then remembered when her friends were skeptical of her.

“When she came to Ponyville we all thought she was an evil hexer.” Fluttershy explained. Daimon and Ornstein nodded in realization before turning back to Zecora.

“Thank you” Ornstein said while giving a polite bow. Zecora bowed back before answering.

“No need to thank me, knight of gold. You have trusted me with a big secret, that shall never be told.” she said with a smile. They all then went back to eating.


~Present~



Zecora made a promise and she was going to keep it. She was just glad Applejack wasn’t here. “Young Fluttershy, i have not seen. I have just been spending my time, to clean”. She answered with a half lie. She was cleaning before she went to see Daimon and Ornstein. Twilight was still suspicious though.

“So what were you doing anyway?” she asked while getting closer. Zecora stood her ground though. This one would actually be true.

“I was just disposing of some leftover ingredients of my early morning brew. Now later, it shall turn into goo.” She answered calmly. That seemed to satisfy Twilight for now.

“Ok well sorry to bother you. Bye Zecora.” Twilight said as she trotted away. Satisfied for now. Zecora on the other hand was relieved to get out of that. She didn’t like lying to her friends but for the sake of her new friends she had to. Speaking of witch, Zecora trotted to Fluttershy’s to help them get to the Castle of the Two sisters.


Twilight’s POV

I was on my way to gather the rest of the girls. I knew something was up, and I was going to find out what.


~5 min later~


Everyone except Fluttershy was present at the cutie map. “Hey Twi, why you brought all of us here?” Rainbow asked, impatiently hovering above everyone as usual.

“I brought you all here because I believe something’s wrong with Fluttershy.” I said as calmly as possible. To say everybody was surprised would be an understatement.

“What do you mean. What’s wrong with her?” asked Rainbow. The rest gave similar questions.

“Everyone just wait a minute!” I shouted. I worked in calming everyone down.

“I’m just worried something’s going on. I don’t know if it’s really bad yet so calm down.” I said. It worked in getting everyone much calmer.

“So what are we gonna do?” Pinkie asked in an unusually calm tone.

“We’ll just see where she goes today and find out what she’s really doing.” I explained, to which everyone seemed to understand. Except Pinkie.

“What if she’s been possessed and is being forced to conduct an evil ritual. Sssppooooookkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyyy!” she said sounding dramatic before Applejack caught her and shoved an apple in her mouth. After that little ordeal we all left for Fluttershy’s cottage.


No POV

Zecora just arrived at Fluttershy’s and they were busy conversing on how to get through the everfree forest. Once Zecora and Fluttershy were done conversing they prepared to meet Daimon and Ornstein on their way their. Unknown to them a certain rainbow maned Pegasus and purple Alicorn saw them leave.

Twilight POV

As Zecora and Fluttershy were trotting through the Everfree, I was now very curious about why Fluttershy was here and why Zecora was with her. “Why are they going through the Everfree, they should know it’s dangerous out here” Spoke Applejack in her southern accent.

“I agree darling, it is simply dreadful out here. Uh, and it’s impossible to get through here without messing up my mane!” Rarity shouted but was quickly shushed by me and Applejack. Rarity just huffed and kept trotting along side us. We kept up with them until they got to a clearing

We all hid in our own separate bushes. And watched.

Fluttershy’s POV

I had just gotten to the same clearing I found Daimon and Ornstein in. They said they would meet us here so here I was. “Do you think they're here?” I asked Zecora. She just looked around seeming nervous. “Why are you so -mmmhh” I tried to say but Zecora covered my mouth. “I think we are being watched. By who? I have not witnessed.” she answered. I looked around to but heard a shuffling in front of me. We both quickly turned towards the noise in full alert mode. We were ready to run until we saw Daimon and Ornstein walk through the tree’s. Both me and Zecora calmed down. Daimon reached his hand out for a friendly shake. I was going to shake his hand before a purple blast of magic struck Daimon’s head. To my shock Twilight, and the rest of my friends jumped in front of me.

“Fluttershy, Zecora stay back we’ll handle this.” She said as she fired another magic bolt at Ornstein and I also saw Applejack charge Daimon. This was not going good at all and by the look on Zecora's face, she agreed.

Twilight’s POV


~5 seconds ago~


When I saw Fluttershy and Zecora get worried and then the massive Demon and Knight walk out of the tree’s I immediately panicked. When I saw the demon reach its hand out I attacked. I fired a magic bolt at the demon but it only seemed to stun him. The rest of us jumped out and got between the two creatures and our friends. “Fluttershy, Zecora stay back we’ll handle this.” i said as i fired a bolt at the large knight.

No POV

Ornstein and Daimon had multiple emotions going through them. Shock, fear, anger, and betrayal. They were shocked that a peaceful trek to this abandoned castle ended up as an attack, fear of being attacked, anger at being lied to, and betrayal because they thought Fluttershy and Zecora were the ones that lied to them.

Their first instinct was to fight but Daimon felt that was a bad idea. He didn’t want a lot of enemies. Ornstein felt the same as well. So to try and diffuse the situation, he put up his hands and spoke. “Wait. We weren’t doing anything wrong?” He said but all he managed to do was scare the new ponies with his demonic voice.

“Yeah, a likely story. Why were you trying to attack our friend then huh?” the rainbow maned one with a cyan blue coat asked while flying closer to Daimon. Ornstein spoke next.

“We were not attacking her, we were just going to shake hands with her.” She pleaded but it fell on deaf ears. The orange cowpony one spoke next.

“Yeah right ya flea bitten varmint, you was probably trying to score yourself an easy meal.” she spoke while glaring at Ornstein. Both Ornstein and Daimon were getting fed up but both turned their looks at Fluttershy. She just looked guilty and it tugged at their hearts. Zecora didn’t look much better.

Both of them looked at each other with one plan in mind that wouldn’t leave casualties. Run. And that’s what they did. They ran off into the forest. They heard one of the new pony’s shout “get back here” and Daimon felt a strong blast hit his back causing him to stop. Ornstein was struck in the back of the head by the cyan pony and fell to the ground. She wasn’t hurt, but the force was enough to knock her down. Daimon rushed over and helped her up. When they looked around they saw they were surrounded by the White one with a horn, Orange regular looking pony, and the Cyan pony with the wings along with a Purple one with wings and a horn that blasted Daimon and a pink one wearing a frown and somehow pulled a large cannon out of nowhere.

“Your not going anywhere.” the purple one said while charging her horn. Daimon and Ornstein saw there was no way to reason with these stubborn ponies so they decided to take out their frustrations and training on these ponies and FIGHT.

No POV

Rainbow Dash charged first at the Daimon and aimed for his head. To her it would be an easy hit but to her surprise Daimon just moved his head to the side causing her to miss and crash into a tree. Twilight struck next with a bolt of magic fired at Ornstein. Ornstein dodged it and dashed over to Twilight very quickly due to her size. Before she could react Ornstein launched a powerful roundhouse kick which sent her into a tree.

Ornstein didn’t want to kill the pony so she downed the strength of her kick by A LOT. Good thing to since Twilight went through the tree. Before she could recover she was hit in the leg by a large boulder, causing her to collapse. When she picked herself up she saw Rarity with an angry look and a large boulder over her head covered in an azure aura. “Take that you brute.” Rarity said as she launched the boulder at Ornstein but she rolled to the side, successfully dodging it. Ornstein then charged at Rarity while unsheathing her spear.

Over by Daimon, he had just thrown Rainbow Dash off of him but now he had a rope wrapped around him. He looked over and saw applejack with her rope in her mouth and a smirk on her face. “Got ya, ya varmint” she said proudly. Her smirk was quickly replaced by a scared look as Daimon easily snapped her rope with his strength alone. Before Applejack could react, she was picked up and thrown into a tree. Daimon, just like Ornstein, made sure to use minimal strength. He also wasn’t gonna use magic because that would probably kill them.

He then was blinded by a bunch of confetti. Once he regained his eyesight, he saw that Pinkie Pie was the one that fired it. He lunged at her but she dove into a bush while shouting “Bye!”. He looked in their and saw she disappeared. He ignored it for now when he felt a impact on his back. He turned and saw Rainbow Dash on the ground rubbing her head. “Ow, what are you made of?” asked the cyan pegasus. Daimon just picked her up and tossed her into a tree. He then saw Ornstein placing an unconscious Rarity over by a tree. Daimon and Ornstein were then both struck by a very strong magic blast that actually hurt. They looked back to find all the pony’s except Rarity glaring at them and Twilight with steam coming of her horn. Daimon and Ornstein just got back into a fighting stance and both sides were about to charge but surprisingly, Fluttershy flew and blocked both sides.

“Guy’s stop!” She shouted with her front hooves stretched out to block both sides from each other. Everyone stopped in their tracks.

“Why, those monsters attacked you. Who knows what they could do to everypony else. I mean look at them.” Rainbow Dash said as she pointed accusingly at Daimon and Ornstein. Both said other worlders were really sick of these ponies.

“Yeah. They were being big meanie pants and even knocked out Rarity. Look.” Pinkie said as she pointed over at Rarity unconscious by the tree. Fluttershy was shocked and scared for her friend. She went over and saw a large bump on Rarity’s head. She was now upset with Daimon and Ornstein. She then flew up to them and gave them the STARE.

“How dare you hurt her. I know you were defending yourself but that was too far!” She shouted at them. Daimon and Ornstein were now hurt that she was yelling at them for just defending themselves. Hurt turned into anger quickly. Ornstein was the first to speak.

“Are you kidding me. We were just coming to have you take us to this “Castle of the two sisters” until YOUR friends attacked us without thinking. We tried to explain to them what happened but they wouldn’t listen. Now your mad at us for defending ourselves when they attacked us first. For peat sake the one i knocked out threw a boulder at me. I may be wearing armor but it still hurt!” Ornstein shouted back. Fluttershy was now shocked as well. Daimon spoke next.

“Yeah. and the purple one shot me in the back thrice and it actually hurt!” He shouted as well. Fluttershy was now really shocked. Now her friends spoke up next.

“Hey, you were the ones that were attacking her and Zecora. We were just defending our friends.” Applejack spoke with a glare which was easily beaten down by Daimon’s.

“We were just trying to shake hands with them, and if i was attacking her I would have balled my hand into a fist and swung much faster you idiot’s!” He shouted back louder. All the ponies except Rainbow had a look of realization come over their faces. Rainbow instead flew up in Ornstein’s face.

“And why should we trust you. For all we know you could be an evil monster trying to gain our trust!”, she shouted with an accusing glare. This was really getting to Ornstein so she grabbed Rainbow by the mane and forced her closer.

“If we were evil, I would have started trying to kill you and so would he.”, she said while pointing to Daimon who responded with a nod. Rainbow was scared and was about to retort until she was thrown back by Ornstein.

“You know what. Were done here. Well just find the Castle of the two sisters on our own. And incase you want to know. The only reason we were even looking for it is because we just want a place to live. Now I hope it’s far away from you stupid ponies!”, she shouted again. Fluttershy now felt bad for what happened. Everyone else was still suspicious but were surprised when Ornstein and Daimon turned and started leaving.

“Hey where are you going?”, Rainbow and Applejack asked at the same time. Ornstein and Daimon turned back and as loud as the royal canterlot voice shouted.

“AWAY FROM YOU!”, and with that, Daimon took of flying and Ornstein leaped after him. Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Twilight were shaken from the shout while Fluttershy was devastated at how she might have just lost two new friends. Fluttershy was now collapsed on the ground for the first time, regretting how she defended her friends. Said friends walked over and tried to comfort her along with a awake Rarity who woke backup without anypony noticing, right when the shouting started.

“Hey don’t be sad, those monsters won’t harm you again”, Applejack said but all that caused was for Fluttershy to stand back up and glare at all of them.

“They aren’t monsters. They were my new friends. Now I might never see them again!”  She shouted surprisingly loudly and stormed off back to her cottage, leaving a stunned group of friends behind. On her way she met up with Zecora and told her everything that happened. To say the Zebra was shocked would be an understatement.

“I am sad to hear. Of your friends feat. But Daimon and Ornstein, i’m glad they didn’t defeat.” the Zebra answered. Fluttershy smiled but also told Zecora about what Ornstein did to Rarity. The Zebra wasn’t fazed in the slightest however.

“I understand, for they were most humble. To not harm your friends, must have been a great deal of trouble.” she answered again. Fluttershy’s smile widened but then got sad.

“I just hope they aren’t to mad at me. And i hope Twilight and the others don’t do anything.” Fluttershy said with worry. Zecora just put a comforting hoof on the timid pegasus’s shoulder. This made Fluttershy feel much better. So both pegasus and Zebra discussed what they should do and decided tomorrow they would find Daimon and Ornstein and try to earn their trust back. Only if it were that easy.

Twilight’s POV

I had just got back to the castle and felt bad for what me and the girls did to those two creatures. I’m still suspicious of them though and would definitely some questions for them later. Before I could think anymore spike walked in and saw me in my state.

“Twilight. Are you alright?” He asked with a worried expression. Knowing he would find out anyway I told him what we did and everything that happened after. His reaction was not what I expected.

“So you just attacked them without finding out more. Twilight that wasn’t smart. Now they might hate ponies now because of you guys. Even Fluttershy said they were innocent” He said with annoyance. I was shocked that he would care this much. But his tone was not pleasing.

“Spike, watch your tone. I know we made a mistake but were gonna fix it, okay. I’m gonna send a letter to the princesses and they can help sort this mess out.” I explained, but that didn’t seem to help.

“That’s just going to make it worse. You guys should try to apologize yourselves first.” he responded without changing his tone at all.

“Spike that’s enough. I’ll handle it the way I see fit. You weren’t even there so how would you know. Now please finish the rest of you shores.” I said, getting frustrated. This just made steam come out of Spike’s nose as he stomped off to finish his work.

I then went and wrote a letter to Princess Celestia telling them about what happened and describing how dangerous those two were. Unfortunately I forgot where they were going but i doubt it mattered. I went and chased down spike and had him send the letter. He just walked off again and I just shook my head thinking he was just overreacting. Boy was I wrong.

Spike’s POV

Twilight was being ridiculous. Bringing the princesses will just make things worse. Well i’m not gonna stand by and let innocent creatures get in trouble for just defending themselves. Well not on my watch. I went into the library section and found a map to the Castle of the two Sisters, packed some supplies, snuck past Twilight, and got outside the Castle.

“Well, let’s go.” I said as I set off for the old abandoned castle. It’s weird that i’ve gone their twice but I need a map to get their. I am glad Twilight made one though.

Spike’s POV

I was now jogging to the old castle because if I know Twilight, and I do she already sent the letter to the Princess. I have to hurry or something bad might happen to them, and from Twilight’s story, none of the girls except Fluttershy would help. I didn’t have time though so I had to get their fast.

I was jogging for about 10 minutes when the castle came into view. I quickly ran up to the gate and was about to knock when I heard a voice behind me. “What are you and why are you here?” the voice asked with suspicion. I raised my hands and slowly turned around and what I saw I really should have seen coming. I saw the massive knight and equally massive demon Twilight described standing 5 inches away from me. I was scared but I knew they weren’t dangerous. So taking a bold move, I stepped forward and spoke “Hello, i’m Spike. I heard what my friends did to you and i’m sorry but I promise i’m here to help” I said as I walked in front of them. Both the knight and Demon looked at each other before the knight kneeled down to my level and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“We believe you, thanks for trusting us.” she said with an approving nod.  Spike was shocked but smiled and his smile got bigger when the demon gave him a hug. Spike hugged back before he was placed back on the ground.

“Yeah, you're alright in my book man. But i have a feeling that purple unicorn with wings, I think her name was Twilight, is not gonna stop messing with us.” The Demon said. I then remembered the other reason I came here.

“Oh man i forgot. Twilight is telling Princess Celestia about you guys and i’m pretty sure she exaggerated at how dangerous you are and what happened.” I said in worry. Both of them were shocked to.

“Who is this Princess?” asked the Knight.

“She is the ruler of Equestria along with her sister and a very powerful pony.” I said in even more worry.

“That could be a problem, but as long as we stay hidden we'll be fine.” The Demon said with confidence. I really hated to be the bringer of bad news but here it goes.

“Actually, they know where this castle is so if you stay here they have a higher chance of finding you.” I said with sadness but was surprised when both of them laughed.

“Were not worried. We made plans on the way here for that. We had a while because it wasn’t easy to get here.” the knight said with a sheepish chuckle. I was just shocked but relieved.

“Well here, i’ve been here before so let me show you around.” I offered. The knight looked happy but the Demon looked cautious.

“Sorry, i can’t right now. I’m gonna go scout and see if anyone was following us. But before I go we never introduced each other properly. I’m Daimon.” he said as he held out his massive hand for me to shake. I smiled and shook it but he accidentally lifted me 2 feet of the ground. He placed me back down with a sheepish smile but I just smiled back before replying.

“I’m Spike, it was nice to meet you.” I said as he waved by and flew off. I then turned to the knight who was kneeling beside me.

“I’m Ornstein, it’s nice to meet you too.” She said while offering a hand shake. I shaked hands with her and luckily she didn’t lift me up this time.

“Well, let's start the tour shall we?” I asked as we started our tour. I did have something on my mind though.

“Hey, is it alright if you take off your helmet. I’m just curious of what you really look like. No offence though I mean I just was curi---” I said but was shushed by a metal finger over my lips. Ornstein giggled before answering.

“It’s alright, don’t act so nervous. The fact you came here to warn me and Daimon about your friends took will and guts. Thank you. You’ve definitely earned my trust. So I will show you. You’ve earned it.” She finished sincerely before removing her helmet. What I saw made think of two things. Wow she is pretty and, this is just like Rarity all over again.

No POV

Fluttershy was in her house debating how to re-friend Daimon and Ornstein until Twilight teleported into her house. This caused the shy pegasus to let out a loud “EEP” and hide under her couch but was pulled back out by twilight’s magic.

“Fluttershy, I need your help. Spike’s disappeared and i’m worried he might have gone to find those two monsters.” Twilight said in a panic as she set Fluttershy back down. Fluttershy was worried about spike but upset at what Twilight called her friend’s.

“Twilight. They're not monsters. Their my new friends.” Fluttershy said with a stern glare. Twilight was shocked but groaned a little after.

“Fluttershy, those monsters attacked you, I don’t care what they said. We don’t have time for this anyway, we need to find Spike.” she said.. Fluttershy was now annoyed but couldn't deny that they needed to find Spike. But she had a good idea where he was and what he was doing but had to find him without Twilight and the others finding out.

“Ok, you go get everyone else, i’ll start looking for Spike.” I said and headed out the door with Twilight in tow.

“Ok, be safe Fluttershy. Watch out for those monsters.” Twilight said as she flew off to get the girls. Fluttershy was getting more and more annoyed but shrugged it off and went to find Zecora.


~Back with Spike~


Spike was busy showing Ornstein around the castle. When he thought she wasn’t looking he sneaked looks at her helmetless head. Unknown to him, she saw him every time, and she enjoyed it. Back on earth she wasn’t noticed a lot by boys, mostly because they were intimidated by her, but seeing Spike look at her like that and the fact that he wasn’t afraid, just shy, made her feel much better but it also made her blush.

Spike showed her around the castle until they arrived back in the throne room. They were just looking around until Spike had an idea. Grabbed an old cloth lying around, wrapped it around himself like a cape and turned towards Ornstein.

“I am the great and glorious Spike. Great knight of Canterlot. Have at thee foul knight!” He shouted causing Ornstein to turn and see Spike like that. She was confused before realizing what he was doing and got into character.

“You think you can stop me. I’d like to see you try, puny knight.” She said while getting into an intimidating poze. Spike just smiled before getting back into character.

“Oh I think I can. Have at thee” He shouted as he charged. Ornstein just smirked before charging herself with an evil cackle. For the next few minutes there could be many phrases and laughing heard from the throne room.

Fluttershy’s POV

Me and Zecora were on our way to the castle I heard large wing flaps above us. Both me and Zecora looked up quick, thinking it was a dragon but to our surprise and relief it was just Daimon flying above us. It looked like he was scouting. I looked over to Zecora but I quickly received an encouraging smile and nod. I smiled back and flew up to meet the flying Demon.

“Hey Daimon!” I shouted as i got in his line of sight. He turned and got on the offensive with his massive fists raised. I panicked and was about to scream until I saw the look of shock on him turn to relief as he lowered his fists. He flew closer to me before speaking.

“Oh, it’s just you. What are you doing out here?” He asked with worry with a small hint of suspicion. It was nice to see he didn’t hate me at least.

“I came here to check on you and apologize. So did Zecora, she’s down their watching.” I said as I pointed down towards Zecora who was busy waving once she saw us acknowledge her. I was happy when I saw Daimon smile bigger and fly down to meet her. Although I wasn’t fond of how he grabbed me and brought me down with him.

“AAAAAAHHHHHH” I screamed as we touched down. I stopped screaming after Daimon, surprisingly gently for his size, grabbed my shoulders and brought me to his face and stared into my eyes with those glowing green eyes of his.

“Eh he he, sorry for scaring you like that. I won’t do it again, promise.” He said with sheepishly. I was shocked and happy of how he acted from just accidentally scaring me.

“It’s alright. I’m just a little timid, that's all.” I reassured him. It seemed to work as he smiled and put me back down.

“What are you two doing here anyway?” He asked with concern. I was going to answer, but Zecora beat me to it.

“We are looking for a drake of purple scales. He left without notice, for young Twilight has told some tales.” She answered in her usual rhyming. Daimon had a look of realization come over him.

“Is this dark perhaps small, has green head fins, and is called Spike?” He asked. My smile got massive before quickly answering.

“Yes, that’s him. Do you know where he is?” I asked with hope. That hope skyrocketed when he nodded.

“Yeah, he was already at that old castle before me and Ornstein got their. He’s really nice too.He didn’t attack us like your friends did.” He said the last part with a little venom. I flinched a little but stayed calm, i knew he had a good reason to be mad.

“Well thanks but we also came to warn you, Twilight is looking for him and I don’t want her to know where you guys are hiding.” I said in worry but was shocked to see Daimon chuckle.

“We already planned for that.” He said without a worry in the world.
I was about to question it until he kneeled down to our level.

“C’mon i’ll give you a ride to the castle and explain everything.” He said as he turned around for us to climb on. I was nervous, but Zecora immediately climbed on his back.

“Climb aboard, dear Fluttershy. And enjoy the ride, as we soar high in the sky.” She said. That made me feel a little better.

“Don’t worry, you’ll all be fine. I won't fly to fast either.” He reassured with a smile towards me. That diminished all my worries and I slowly climb on his back.

“Hold on” he said as he flew up into the air. I screamed and covered my eyes before I noticed that we stopped ascending. I peeked out and saw we were level and flying. I looked over to Zecora and saw a blissful expression on her face. That put me more at ease as I turned back forward and watched Daimon’s peaceful expression as he flew towards the Castle of the two sisters.

No POV

Spike and Ornstein were still “fighting” in the castle. Ornstein now had Spike cornered in a, well corner. “What are you going to do now, hero?” Ornstein asked menacingly. Spike just smirked.

“This,” He said before rolling under her legs. Ornstein was shocked but quickly turned around only to be tackled in the chest by Spike. Since she wasn’t on guard, like during the fight with the ponies, Spike was able to knock her on her butt. She looked down to see Spike standing on her with the stick he found earlier pointed at her chin.

“Yield.” he ordered. Still playing along, she growled before letting my head fall to the floor.

“I yield.” She said in defeat. They stayed quiet for a few minutes until they both burst out laughing. Spike fell on the ground while Ornstein was rolling around laughing so much there were tears. Once they calmed down, they started some more small talk.

“Man, I haven’t had that much fun other than my time’s with Big Mac and Discord.” Spike said. Ornstein was curious on who they were but left it alone to keep the moment.

“Yeah, who knew role-playing was so much fun.” She said as she relaxed on the ground. Spike sat down to until he looked at the throne’s behind them and got an idea. He got up and walked over to the thrones. Ornstein saw this and got up as well.

“What are you doing?” She asked. Spike turned back and said,

“Role-playing royalty” He said with a devilish smirk. Ornstein got a smirk as well and walked over to join him.


Fluttershy POV

We’ve been flying for a few minutes and I can already see the castle in our sights. I looked down to see Zecora still in her state of bliss as well as Daimon. I smiled at how peaceful Daimon looked, until he looked over and caught me staring. “Enjoying the view?” He asked with a smirk. This caused me to blush hard until my face was strawberry red. Luckily he saw this and was quick to dismiss his joke.

“It was just a joke, don’t worry. I’m used to being stared at, you wouldn’t believe how many birds, squirrels, and rabbits i’ve caught staring at me.” He said with a dramatic sigh at the end. That made me feel much better and I was amazed at how quick he was to end my embarrassment. Why was he being so nice though? Yesterday, he was shouting at me with fury. Now, he’s treating me with as much kindness as I treat my friends with. I decided to ask him later since he was now descending to the castle.

After he landed, he extended his left wing like a slide. He then gave me and Zecora a push with his hand and we slid down. I giggled all the way down while Zecora had a confident smile on her face. Once we reached the ground Daimon led us into the castle. Before we got to the throne room we heard voices, they sounded like Ornstein and Spike, which was confirmed when we peeked into the throne room and saw Spike and Ornstein sitting on them. I looked over to see Daimon giggling. He then motioned for us to stay put and listen. Deciding it couldn’t hurt, I decided to wait and Zecora agreed since she crouched next to me and we all put our ears to the door.

“Spike, go clean all the castle toilets, and sweep every inch of the castle, and restock all the books in the library.” I heard Spike say in a voice that sounded like Twilight’s. I then heard a voice that sounded like Rarity’s.

“Oh my gosh, how dare you ruin my mane. It will take me forever to get it in shape again, you brute.” I heard what sounded like Ornstein imitating Rarity. Daimon and Zecora were working to stifle their laughter while I was quietly giggling. For once I was glad I was naturally quiet. Daimon decided it was enough and walked into the throne room. Me and Zecora followed. Ornstein and Spike were on the thrones laughing their flanks off. I decided to speak first.

“Nice show guys, I really liked how you imitated Twilight.” I said truthfully. I knew she wasn’t like that but it was funny to hear her voice say that stuff. Both the dragon and knight stopped and looked towards us with sheepish looks on their faces.

Me, Zecora, and Daimon just burst out laughing, well quiet laughing in my case. “Nice job sis, see you can still mimic people pretty well.” Daimon complimented Ornstein.

“It’s a gift.” she replied. I was about to start some more small talk before Spike burped out a letter. He picked it up and read through it. As he got to the end his face turned pale and his eyes widened.

“What is it?” me and Ornstein asked at the same time. Spike just walked over to me and Zecora with Ornstein in tow. He then turned the scroll around once Daimon and Ornstein’s heads were hovering over us and what I saw frightened me greatly.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Twilight Sparkle,

This is very worrying. Me, Luna, and Discord who you know has been staying here for a couple of days will be on our way to deal with these monsters.

Also, have the Elements of Harmony prepared in case we need them.


Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All of us were shocked by this news. I was brought out of my stupor when Ornstein spoke. “Well I guess we better get prepared.” she said to Daimon. Said demon replied

“I agree, but I do have one question” he said as he turned to me, Zecora, and Spike. “What are the elements of harmony?”
> Daimons Awakened FURY!
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

No POV

Fluttershy just remembered she neglected to tell Daimon and Ornstein about the Elements of Harmony so she turned to them and began to explain. After about 2 minutes Daimon and Ornstein knew what the Elements were and what they could do. Daimon was the most worried since his body was born from hate, in a way. But when both him and Ornstein heard that Fluttershy has to be their for them to work, that put them at ease. Spike however, was still worried.

“We still have to worry about the princess’s though!” Spike exclaimed. Everyone went back to being tense after Spike said that. That’s when Ornstein got another idea.

“Hey guys, I got an idea so you don’t have to be involved.” She said while kneeling and making a ‘come to me’ gesture. Everyone present kneeled down low and discussed their plan.


Twilight’s POV


~1 hour later~


I was back at Ponyville looking for Spike. I was worried he might have run away again or something worse. Gasp. What if those monsters caught him. I was at my limit and was about fly off to look for him before I heard him call me. “TWILIGHT!” I quickly turned around to see Spike and Fluttershy running towards me. I immediately ran at them and gave Spike a BIG hug.

“Spike! I was so worried. Where were you?” I asked after I put him back down. He took a couple seconds to collect himself before answering.

“I was just taking a walk to Zecora’s to calm down after our talk. I stayed there for awhile until I got this.” He said as he handed me a letter. I looked over it and was shocked it was from Celestia. I was also glad that she took my side and was actually coming here with Luna as well.

“What does it say?” Asked Fluttershy. I was going to answer until I remembered how she felt about this. I hoped that saying the princess’s agreed with me, she would understand.

“The princess Celestia and Luna are coming to help us deal with those monsters. Celestia also said to get the Elements ready.” I explained. I regretted calling them monsters in front of her but it was true. They may have not done anything yet, but with how easily they beat us, who knows what they can do? I looked into Fluttershy’s eyes and what I saw made me surprised.

I saw sadness but also acceptance. “Alright, I guess I can’t stop you if the Princess’s are coming” She said before I saw anger flash over her eye’s “but that doesn't mean i’ll help. If you guys want to go and start a fight, go ahead, but i’m not helping.” She said and started galloping back to her cottage. I was shocked and saddened at her rejection and even more shocked when Spike took of with her.

“Spike where are you going?” I asked as he ran past. He turned back while still running and shouted,

“To stay with the people with real kindness around here!” He then turned back and ran after Fluttershy. I wanted to follow but their was the sound of flapping near me. I turned and saw both Princesses chariots flying in. I quickly galloped over to meet them and hopefully find a way to solve this.


No POV

Back at Fluttershy’s cottage, She and Spike had just gotten back and were now talking with Zecora. “Alright, it’s done. Now we just have to make Sure Daimon and Ornstein are in position. Zecora smiled as she spoke.

“Is a good plan, made by Ornstein. I just hope that we, will get out sin clean.” She said and both dragon and pegasus nodded as they ran of into the forest. Unknown to them, a fast streak flew of from the tree’s to Ponyville after they left.


~Back by Ponyville~


Celestia and Luna had just gotten out of their Chariots and were trotting over to meet Twilight. “Hello Princess.” Twilight said while bowing.

“Rise, my little pony.” she said with a smile. Twilight quickly stood up before speaking.

“I was just talking to Fluttershy and Spike. Sadly Fluttershy isn’t joining us. We can’t use the Elements without her.” She explained to the Princess. Luna decided to add her opinion now.

“Though Pegasus friend has her reasons and we must respect them.” Luna said in a sincere voice. That made Twilight feel a little better. Celestia then spoke up again.

“That may be true, but we still need a backup plan in case these Monsters are planning something sinister.” She said, getting a nod from both Alicorn’s around her. Before they could keep talking, Rainbow Dash landed next to Twilight.

“Twilight, I saw Fluttershy. She was with Spike and Zecora and their helping those two monsters that attacked us. They were heading into the Everfree.” She said in a panic. This caused all three Alicorns to gasp in shock.

“We need to find them now.” Celestia said before flying off into the Everfree with Twilight and Luna close behind while Rainbow went to get everyone else.


~With Fluttershy, Zecora, and Spike~


All three of them were walking to where Daimon and Ornstein should be. Fluttershy then decided to review the plan. “Ok so we're supposed to make it look like Daimon and Ornstein escaped out of Equestria to everyone right?” She asked. Zecora and Spike nodded and kept walking until they heard flapping above them. They looked up and saw The princesses and Twilight flying above them. Spike gasped before turning to Zecora.

“You need to get Daimon and Ornstein quick or else the plan won't work.” He said. Zecora nodded before taking of into the forest. Spike was glad because he heard a thud before being engulfed in a lavender aura and Fluttershy in a golden aura. Both were turned around and were facing The princesses and Twilight.

“What are you two doing?” asked Celestia with a shocked expression on her face. Fluttershy was the first one to reply.

“Were protecting our friends.” She replied with a glare. Spike knew this wasn't part of the plan but it wouldn’t hurt it at all so he joined in.

“Yeah, we know what your going to do and we won’t let you.” He said with a glare of his own. All three Alicorns were shocked by what they said and their glare’s but recovered fast.

“You don’t understand. These beasts need to be contained before they do more harm. Twilight already told me what they did to all of you.” Celestia said with a stern stare. Spike and Fluttershy didn’t back down though.

“They were only defending themselves. Twilight and the others attacked them first and they tried to leave but you all still attacked them.” Spike said and Fluttershy gave an approving nod. Now Twilight stepped in.

“How would you know, you weren't even there.” She said while stepping closer.

“Fluttershy told me, since she and Zecora seem to be the only one’s sain around here.” He said which caused Twilight to gasp. This time luna stepped in.

“It doesn’t matter. Those creature’s are still incredibly dangerous and need to be dealt with.” the night Princess said.

“Now where is Zecora?” Twilight asked only to get a firmer glare from both Pegasus and Dragon.

“She’s with our new friends, and before you ask, were not telling you where?” Fluttershy said. Now Celestia was irritated and closed the distance with both of them.

“I am your Princess, now tell me where Zecora is!” She shouted but Spike and Fluttershy held their ground while Luna and Twilight were getting worried.

“Just because your the Princess doesn’t mean your always right.” Spike said firmly.

“Yeah, and if I was helping you what would you do to them if they put up any sign of threat?” The Pegasus asked with much more determination than usual. This stumped Celestia, so the Dragon and pegasus continued.

“You would have us use the Elements wouldn't you?” they both asked at the same time. Celestia looked up with a expressionless look.

“I would do what needs to be done.” She said in a darker voice. This made Spike and Fluttershy mad, but Twilight and Luna shocked. They didn’t say anything though.

“So you would just attack without good reason?” Fluttershy asked in shock and anger. This made Celestia get more upset and raise her voice more.

“I already have enough reason. Those two are dangerous and have already attacked my little ponies and according to their own reactions, could have killed them. Anything that dangerous needs to either be under control, or out of the picture.” Everyone was shocked at her outburst. Luna, now having enough, was going to speak until Fluttershy beat her to it.

“You aren’t acting like a Princess now Celestia. You aren’t acting kind or gentle. You are acting more like Daybreaker to me!” She shouted with much more gusto then she has used in a while. Twilight and Luna were shocked that she knew about Daybreaker at all, probably Starlight, but Celestia was just furious. To be compared to a tyrant like her alter ego has never happened to her, especially from one of her ponies. Her eyes flashed red and unable to contain her rage, unleashed a strong blast of magic that hit Fluttershy in the chest and sent her flying into a nearby tree and Spike, caught in the blast as well, into a boulder. There was an audible snap and Spike and Fluttershy screamed in pain.

“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” they screamed as Fluttershy held her broken wing and Spike held his broken tail. Celestia immediately realized what she did and was horrified.

“I-I-I” She stammered for a few seconds before preparing to rush over to Fluttershy. Before she could there was a VERY, loud thud. All of them looked over to see Daimon with a look of shock and fear on his face with Ornstein and Zecora not far behind. When they saw Spike and Fluttershy they gasped in shock before looking at Celestia’s simmering horn. Zecora was beyond shock that Celestia would do this. Said Alicorn turned and saw Daimon, Ornstein, and Zecora standing their. She was about to attack until she saw their stares of fear and worry towards the pony and dragon she just attacked. She was brought out of her stupor when Daimon spoke.

“Did you do this?” He asked, still looking at Fluttershy. Said pegasus was shocked that they were their but worried at what they, especially, Daimon, might do. Celestia had gone from fear for her ponies, to fear of Daimon. Gathering her courage she answered.

“Y-y-yes, but it was an-.”

“SILENCE” He shouted as he turned to her with an enraged look on his face as his eyes turned red. Everyone, excluding Ornstein and Zecora who were to busy getting Spike and Fluttershy out of the way, were terrified of what was now happening.

Daimon’s Body was changing drastically. His already massive wings extended to their full length and grew about 2 feet on each side. His legs and arms grew a foot but kept all their muscle. His tail as well grew about 2 feet. He then started to float as the last change was made, and this one was the most terrifying of all. The eyes on his chest opened and as he extended his arms and legs to their full length, his chest morphed into something that looked like a Dragon but with a slight primate shape that made it all the more menacing and scary. The head in Daimon’s belly let out a terrifying roar as it took it’s form.

“RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!” It’s roar ended as Daimon’s body now exposed it’s true shape completely. There was however one more terrifying trait about this Daimon. Their were misshapen horns jutting out of it’s collar bones and around the back of its head and the terrifying part was, his original head was lifeless. It just hung there like a dead limb. All the ponies, Zebra, and Golden knight then noticed the glowing, dark purple, slitted eyes of the dragon head glaring at Twilight and the Princesses before it spoke in a much more demonic voice.

“You fools have pushed me to far, now you have awakened the hatred in me. I am my other half’s hatred and anger taken form. You harmed the first person to show me kindness and one of my best and only friends. Well now you shall pay for your sins. Me and my other half are anger. We are hatred. AND I AM HIS AWAKENED FURY!”

Play music for battle with Daimon


No POV

When Ornstein saw her brother change, she was scared and confused. If she remembered the awakened Daimon from the game, this one wasn't him. The Awakened Daimon in the game didn’t have bulky muscles like this one, and he seemed bigger too. He also didn’t have glowing purple eyes, he had orange one’s. She was worried but she also knew that if he was like either Daimon in the game, especially this one, he would have high magic defense and high defense to about, everything else except holy.

She hoped her special lightning attack would be close to holy damage. She turned to Zecora before speaking. “I need you to get Fluttershy and Spike to cover, well take care of this.” Zecora, without any doubt, nodded and let Ornstein put Fluttershy and Spike on her back. The Zebra the galloped back to her hut. Ornstein smiled but then grew serious as she turned back around to face the floating nightmare in front of her.

Said nightmare lifted his hand in the air as it started glowing orange with a swirling red mass in the middle. “Die” he said as he fired multiple fireballs at the princesses. Acting fast, Ornstein jumped in front of them and with swing of her spear, deflected the blasts safely into the sky. Daimon was shocked that Ornstein defended the ponies but paid it no mind. He wouldn’t harm her to much but he would move her out of the way. He lifted his left hand and it glowed a deep purple. Ornstein knew what this was and quickly turned to everyone behind her.

“Everybody duck!” She shouted and dropped to a crouching position. Luckily they all listened and dropped down, except for Celestia, who was getting over the shock of her mistake, and Ornstein helping them. As everyone else ducked, a massive spectral clawed arm swung over and smacked Celestia into the air and into a few trees. Luna, Twilight, and Ornstein quickly got up. Ornstein then launched a bolt of lightning at the ground creating a temporary smoke screen. She turned around and explained her plan quickly.

“Ok, I know you don’t trust me but you need to listen. I know how to stop him so let's just work together for now to change him back, ok?” she said in an annoyed tone. Twilight was still suspicious but since no one has seen this creature before, she gave an affirmative nod. Princess Luna gave a nod without hesitation. Ornstein smiled under her helmet and then turned back to Daimon as the dust cleared.

Daimon gave a satisfies look to where Celestia landed before turning to the others. He gave a harsh look at Twilight before bringing his right hand and it glowed a light cyan blue with white in the middle. Everyone stood their ground until the ground below Twilight started to go cold. Ornstein noticed this and knew what it was. Without a second though, she jumped and pushed Twilight out of the way, but got hit by the massive ice pillar that jutted out of the ground in the process. She flew into the air and was about to crash until a purple aura caught her upper body and surprisingly enough, a golden aura caught her lower half.

Ornstein looked over to see Celestia with her horn glowing and an aww struck look on her face. Ornstein was then turned upright and placed on the ground. The gold knight nodded a thanks to Celestia before getting into a fighting stance. The three alicorns got into a fighting stance as well. Daimon saw this and, since he had more muscle then he should, which he took note of, he got into a charging position and at once, both parties charged forward. Unknown to them, they were being watched.

Over in a couple of bushes, the rest of the mane six (PInkie, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack) were watching the fight unfold. They saw what Celestia did to Fluttershy and were shocked, but were terrified when they saw how angry Daimon got, and especially his change. Pinkie’s mane was deflated and she was shivering and clinging to a more white then usual Rarity who was clinging back and shaking as well. Applejack was wide eyed with her hat on the ground and Rainbow’s wings were drooping and she was trying to keep herself from screaming, even though she would never admit it. All 4 wanted to help at first, but when they saw what that ‘thing’ did to Celestia, they decided to wait this out. When they saw Ornstein jump in and then save Twilight, their hopes lifted. They then saw Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and the knight charge at the demon and almost got the courage to help, almost. Rainbow now looked ready to charge out and might have if she hadn’t seen what Daimon did next.

Both sides clashed with each other and were all pushed back. Daimon recovered and used Grand Levin, which struck Twilight, stunning her and causing her to collapse. He then used Grand Comestion and caused 3 walls of flame to burst from the ground, one after the other (Grand Comestion is 3 High Comestion with one after the other). The first struck under Luna, who luckily sensed it and flew high into the air before she got hit. The second struck Ornstein, who wasn’t hurt by it, but ended up being tripped because of the shockwave. The third struck a few certain bushes and set them ablaze. Their were four screams of shock and fright as 4 mares came galloping out of them. They were Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie pie, and Rainbow Dash. When they ran out, they were immediately frozen when they saw they were right in Daimon’s sight’s.

Daimon turned his attention to the new arrivals and raised his left hand, preparing for a sweeping claw, when he was struck in the face by a green fireball. The explosion caused him to repel himself backward, stunned. Everyone turned to see Spike with a bandaged tail, and Zecora with a bow and arrow, and other weapons behind her in a small cart. Spike was the first to speak. “Everyone who doesn't have magic, grab a weapon and help!” he shouted,and no sooner did Pinkie pull out her cannon, and Applejack pulled out her lasso, and Rainbow flew over and grabbed a sword. Celestia was wondering where these weapons came from but couldn’t argue with how beneficial it could be. She was brought out of her thoughts when Ornstein landed near her.

“Can you enchant their weapons with light energy or something? he’s weaker to it.” She explained. It took Celestia a few minutes before nodding and shooting three yellow beams of magic at Pinkie’s cannon, Rainbow’s sword, and Applejack’s lasso, which is now being used as a whip. Celestia then noticed Zecora with a bow and arrow and shot a yellow beam at the bow as well, enchanting it with light damage. Twilight, Luna, and Rarity decided to use their magic, and Ornstein and Spike decided to use their lightning and fire. With all of that in mind, the ponies turned back to see Daimon had recovered from his stunned state and was charging up another fire spell. Everyone got their weapons ready and charged forward with a “YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Zecora and Pinkie struck first with a cannon blast and a arrow to Daimon’s arms. The impact made Daimon turn his attention at them and cast Grand Ingle. Pinkie hid her cannon away and jumped into a bush, while Zecora leaped over the two fireballs sent in her direction. Rainbow charged in and hit Daimon’s wing with her sword. It made Daimon float backward and started gathering a purple fire in his mouth. He then let it loose and it shot out towards, well about everyone. Spike dove out of the way, along with Applejack. Twilight flew up and lifted Rarity up with her. The princess’s and Rainbow just flew out of harm’s way. Nobody knew where Pinkie was. Everyone regrouped but got nervous when Daimon started floating towards them. Celestia shot a magic beam that hit him in the face and actually caused him to falter. Ornstein then remembered Awakened Daimons weak spot. “Everyone, aim for the head in his belly!” She shouted. Everyone else nodded and focused their attacks on his middle head. This caused Daimon to let out a growl of pain and stumble back. He then got madder and charged forward with his dragon head chomping and chomping. Everyone darted to the sides dodging it. Ornstein and Spike then launched a Heavy Lightning Spear and a surprisingly large green fireball. Both attacks collided with his head and made him stutter again.

He then flew forward a little bit and his eyes, mouth, and hands glowed fluorescent blue as he stretched his limbs again. Everyone backed away, and good thing too because Daimon then thrusted his hands downard and a massive swirling vortex formed under him. Everyone was starting to get pulled in, despite desperately trying to escape. Ornstein knew what to do here though. She crouched down and sprung forward. The sucking of the portal helped her reach her target faster, and with a mighty swing of her spear, she struck Daimon’s dragon head and upper chest, disorienting him and stopping his attack.

Daimon then tucked his knees in and wrapped his arms and wings around them. Celestia and Luna took this chance to both fire their strongest magic attacks at him, along with Ornstein and Spike shooting their respective ranged attacks at him.  This caused Daimon to reopen himself and jerk around in the air. After a few seconds of jerking he collapsed on the ground, dazed. Everyone then attacked him at the same time. After a few minutes of nonstop attacking, Daimon rose back up and used a double handed Sweeping Claw to knock everyone back. He then casted Bolide and multiple meteors struck down around him. Rainbow, Zecora, Celestia, and somehow Pinkie were caught in the impact of a meteor. Twilight created a shield which protected Rarity and Applejack, while Luna made her own shield. Ornstein launched a Heavy Lightning Spear and destroyed her meteor, and Spike ducked behind a large boulder.

Everyone recovered quickly, thanks to some healing spells, and prepared to continue the fight. Daimon casted Bolide again and also prepared a Sweeping Claw in his left hand. Celestia was prepared this time and destroyed 3 out of the 8 meteors coming down from the sky. The only person who couldn’t dodge in time was Princess Luna, who recovered quickly thanks to Twilight. Daimon then swung his left arm to the right and brought the spectral arm across the field. This caused Spike, Twilight, and Rainbow to get knocked into a couple of tree’s. Daimon then prepared another double handed Sweeping Claw and reared his arms back. Zecora easily rolled under the Spectral arms but Ornstein wasn’t so lucky and was sent flying back. Daimon then flew closer to everyone and charged up a Grand Ingle and sent fireballs flying in random directions in front of him. Ornstein struck again with her spear in his head and stunned him, before being knocked back by another Sweeping Claw. Daimon then charged up High Seism as his hands glowed green with yellow in the middle. He finished his attack and the earth began to violently shake. Then tons of rock and stone erupted from the ground and falling everywhere. It was like trying to get away from a mini Earthquake. “Everyone, dogpile this jerk!” Rainbow shouted. Luna, Rainbow, Applejack, and Zecora all jumped on Daimon and started hacking and slashing at him. Daimon then brought his arms to his face and his knees near his chest as his body began to glow orange.

Ornstein knew what he was doing and shouted “He’s using immolation, get off of him!” She was to late though. Daimon finished his spell and sent all 3 pony’s and Zebra flying off of him. Their fur was burning a little bit but they were able to beat it out with ease. Daimon then started charging his fire breath again and everyone was getting ready to attack at the same time. Ornstein felt horrible fighting her own brother but couldn’t think of a way to knock him back into his senses. She almost gave up hope until a yellow blur latched itself onto Daimon’s face. Daimon was annoyed and looked at what it was but was surprised to see it was Fluttershy. He immediately stopped his fire attack and stared wide eyed. Fluttershy was hugging his dragon head, softly crying. When she looked up, Daimon saw her eye’s were full of sadness.

“Please stop, i’m okay. You don’t need to fight anymore. Celestia didn’t mean to hurt me.” She said with caring sincerity. Daimon was confused but still full of anger.

“How do I know they won’t do something like this again?” He asked with venom and anger. Fluttershy was shocked but kept her composure.

“Because I trust them, you don’t have to, but I do. They won’t hurt me again, you may not trust them, but you can trust me.” She said with a smile. To the shock of everyone in the room, Daimon’s Dragon head smiled. Fluttershy smiled as well and was going to give him a hug until his face contorted in pain. Fluttershy backed away as Daimon floated higher and pulled his elbows back and his knees higher and backwards and let out a loud groan before crashing into the ground, LOUDLY. He laid their until his dragon head decayed away and his limbs shrunk. His original head regained it’s life and his eyes started glowing green again. He then quickly stood back up and looked around. He grabbed his head as a massive headache hit him. He then remembered everything that happened, including what his other form did. He looked at everyone in front of him with horror and backed away slowly.

“What- what have I done?” He asked in horror as he backed away faster. All the ponies, including the princess’s, were shocked at how he reacted to almost killing them all. He didn’t act evil at all, he acted scared and horrified at what he did. They all started to feel bad for what he did. No one reacted until Spike, Ornstein, Zecora, and Fluttershy rushed over to comfort him.

“It is alright my friend, you did not bring anyone’s life to end.” She said while rubbing his hand. Spike was hugging his other arm while Ornstein was hugging his side. Fluttershy was hugging his face and speaking softly.

“You only did that because you saw me hurt. You didn’t do it for a bad reason. No one got terribly injured and me and Spike are fine.” She said while pointing to her perfectly okay wing. That actually brought a question to Daimon’s mind.

“How did you and Spike heal so fast anyway?”  he asked as he looked down at Spike who was still hugging him and smiling up at him. Ornstein then nudged him before speaking.

“I know how to make an Estus Flask.” she answered in a giddy voice. Daimon gasped and was about to ask how until she cut him of.

“I don’t know, or care. I’m just glad I know how, and that they didn't burn them alive. I think it was a mixture of the adrenaline rush and magic.” She answered. Daimon smiled and turned to Zecora.

“So you somehow had the ingredients to make one?” He asked. She nodded before answering.

“All the ingredients I needed for this special brew, were as common here as an early morning dew.” She answered in a humble tone. Daimon nodded before crouching down and hugging the Zebra.

“Thank you.” He said when he felt her hug back. He let go and gave her a grateful smile. This made Zecora feel much better but remembered some certain ponies still near him.

“We should probably leave, we can explain everything once were gone.” Daimon said to the pegasus, dragon, and zebra. He looked to Ornstein for approval and got an affirmative nod. He then spread his wings and grabbed Ornstein by the arm and put Zecora on his head. Fluttershy put Spike on her back and prepared to leave until he heard clopping. He looked back to the ponies and saw them walking closer.

“Wait, where are you going?” Asked Celestia in a worried tone. Daimon understood her caution but had no time for it. Twilight then spoke next.

“You don’t have to be cautious of us, were sorry for attacking you earlier, but we were just worried for our friend.” she explained getting a nod from everyone else. Daimon smiled at their thoughtfulness but he and his sister still didn’t trust them enough yet.

“We understand your caution, but forgive us for saying we still don’t trust you yet. I’m sorry for what I did to all of you, and I do owe you all for the trouble, but since you attacked first and since one of you hurt one of my friends, i can’t trust you yet. Maybe at a later date.” He said with a smile at the end. Ornstein joined in next.

“Trust me when I say that we promise not to cause any trouble, but if trouble comes to us and you try to turn us into stone or seal us away, we won’t hesitate to defend ourselves.” She said, until Rainbow spoke up.

“Yeah right, we can handle you chumps.” She said with confidence but was shut up by Twilight with a slap to the back of the head. Ornstein waved it of and continued.

“It’s fine, she’s just stating her opinion. But let me ask you this.” she said, looking at rainbow. “If you all couldn’t  completely beat my brother even WITH my help and i’m just as strong as he is like this, how will you beat him on your own if he turns into “That” again?” She asked. That made everyone think hard and came to the realization. If they couldn’t use the elements, or the elements didn’t work, they couldn’t. Everyone by Daimon, including him saw that and gave a satisfied smile.

“Don’t worry though, if you don’t come at us hostile, you never have to worry about that.” Daimon said as he started hovering. Right before he and Fluttershy flew off Ornstein said one last thing.

“And don't’ worry about your friends, we won’t keep them their long. Bye!” She shouted nicely as Daimon and Fluttershy flew over the tree’s and out of sight, but as they left the ground, Daimon gave them all, especially Celestia, a venomous glare before he went above the tree’s with Fluttershy and out of sight. The remaining ponies were still taking all the info and accepting the guilt of their mistakes. They were all silent until Pinkie walked in front of everyone with her mane deflated, and said what everyone was thinking.

“We messed up big time.” she said with a sad face. Everyone nodded and began their trot back to Ponyville in silence. The one who felt the worst was Celestia, not just for how much she hurt Fluttershy, but for how she made Daimon feel. One thought went through her mind as she trotted back with everyone else. “I need to make it up to him.”
> Forgiveness, and a little something extra

No POV

Celestia, Twilight, and everypony else just got back to the castle of friendship. To say they all felt bad would be an understatement. They all stayed quiet for a few seconds before Celestia broke the silence. “We need to fix this.” She said in a sad tone. Everypony nodded with their heads down as well before Applejack spoke up.

“I should have known they were telling the truth, I’m supposed to be the element of honesty” the farm pony said with her head down. Rarity gave her friend a soothing pat on the back before Celestia spoke again.

“No one was at more fault then me though. I attacked one of my little pony’s. I’m supposed to be kind and loving one. And adding to that, I caused Daimon so much pain he turned into that, thing.” She said in a very sad tone. All the ponies present felt even worse about what they did. Even Rainbow understood why Daimon and Ornstein got so mad at them earlier.

Luna then brought her head up with a determined look. “We need to find them and apologize.” She said, getting a nod from everyone else. With that they all set out into the Everfree Forest. Once they got outside the castle they were shocked to see Spike running of into the forest with a LOT of red, gold, and silver cloth in it, along with Zecora who had her own cart with lots of cake supplies and carrots. They didn’t know how they got back here and got all that stuff without any of them noticing but didn’t question it, yet. Their first instinct was to chase them, but they decided to quietly follow them instead.


~3 minutes later~


With Daimon and Ornstein, while Spike and Zecora were out they were passing the time in the old throne room. Ornstein and Fluttershy were happily chatting while Daimon and, surprisingly enough, Angel bunny were in a heated staring contest.

Apparently Angel had followed all of them into the Everfree before the whole Awakened Fury fiasco. Daimon had found him on his shoulder while they flew back to the castle. It was no problem though. He saw what happened and acted better than the others since he’s already met Daimon and Ornstein. He saw that Daimon turned into that only because Fluttershy was hurt, and he respected that.

Right now though, Daimon and Angel had made a silent bet that whoever wins has to get the other a treat. Said treat was Carrot cake. Both have been at it for 10 minutes now and both were getting close to breaking. Angel really wanted that cake, so he decided to use his “secret weapon”. He pulled a carrot out of nowhere and threw it at Daimon, not even moving his head or eyes. Daimon was this coming however and used one of his wings to swat the carrot away without a single blink. Angel was so shocked he accidentally blinked, which Daimon noticed and made known quickly.

“I win, in your face bunny.” He said while pointing at said bunny. Angel just glared and pouted angrilly. Daimon knew this would happen and already had a plan if it did. He knelt down in front of Angel before speaking.

“Hey don’t worry, I’ll make you one too.” He said with a smile. Angel immediately perked up and gave Daimon a “do you mean it” look. Daimon nodded and Angel quickly ran up his arm, up to his head, and gave it a hug. Daimon smiled before giving the bunny a small nuzzle before walking over to his sister and Fluttershy.

“So that’s why you wanted the cloth?” The shy Pegasus asked, getting a nod from Ornstein in response. Daimon heard this so he asked the obvious question.

“What are you guys talking about?” He asked. Ornstein and Fluttershy turned to him with smile’s before answering.

“I just finished telling Fluttershy why I wanted the cloth, needle and thread.” Ornstein answered, as a look of realization came over Daimon’s face.

“Oh you mean the cape you used to have that you made?” He asked, leaving out the other world part. Ornstein noticed this and was glad he remembered their pact before answering.

“Yeah, I missed a little so I thought I could ask Spike to get some cloth for me, I’m glad he said yes but I forgot to tell him why. Anyway, who won your staring contest?” She asked after her explanation. Daimon smirked at Angel before answering.

“Me, but I agreed to make 2 cakes since he really wanted one too.” He said as Angel gave a triumphant fist pump. Fluttershy gave a cute giggle before smiling at him.

“Thanks for being so nice to him. He usually only gets along with me and other animals.” She said while not noticing the dirty look Angel gave her. Daimon just waved it off before looking outside.

“I think I’ll go and see if Spike and Zecora are close, if they are I’ll fly them back here.” He said getting a nod from everyone in the room. Daimon smiles back before he opened his wings and took of, with Angel on his shoulder waving his arms like a maniac. Fluttershy and Ornstein smiled before getting back to their conversation.


~Back by Twilight and the others~


They were still following Spike and Zecora. Some of them felt this was just going to make things worse by spying. Others were overruled by their curiosity. They did keep their distance though. They saw Spike and Zecora talking as well and moved closer so they could hear.

“I wonder what Ornstein is going to do with all this cloth?” Spike asked to Zecora. Zecora turned with a friendly smile before answering.

“You may not have to wait long, young Dragon. For I sense the closing presence, of our friend Daimon.” She answered. Spike was shocked on how she knew but shrugged it off since it wasn’t as weird as Pinkie’s pinkie sense. Celestia and Twilight were shocked that Daimon was already closing in. They weren’t nearly as worried as before, but were still a little nervous. Their thoughts were interrupted when Zecora spoke again.

“For you Spike, I have my own query. Do you think it was wise to steal from your crush, Rarity?” She asked, making the other ponies quietly gasp. Rarity was especially shocked that Spikey-Wikey would steal from her. She was about to go from shock to angry until Spike spoke again.

“I didn’t steal it. I payed for it in gems. She hasn’t gone gem hunting for a while and I left a 3rd of the hoard I collected for about 5 years and I think that can cover it.” He answered. Zecora, along with everyone else was shocked. As far as anyone knew, Spike ate most of the gems he found. How would he have a hoard that size unless he barely ate them, or he just had a secret one. Rarity was shocked as well, and come to think of it, she did see lots of sparkling coming from her boutique on the way out.

“I am glad you payed for your prize, but am surprised you had a hoard that size.” The zebra said in astonishment. Spike puffed his chest out with pride before answering.

“I have a secret cave in the Everfree where I hide it. I’m planning on showing Daimon and Ornstein where it is later and maybe ask them to help me gem hunt.” Spike said with a big smile. Zecora gave a light chuckle and a nod before she and Spike continued into the Forest. All the other Ponies would have many questions for Spike after this. Then there was the sound of loud wing flaps as something big came down from the sky. It crashed in front of Spike and Zecora, creating a cloud of dust around it. When the dust cleared, the towering form of Daimon stood there with a kind smile on his face. All the ponies miraculously found their own bush, each the perfect size for them, even Celestia.

Celestia forgot how intimidating his first form was. Definitely not as scary as his enraged form, but still intimidating enough. “Hey guys.” he said in a friendly tone. He then leaned down and let Angel wave hi to everyone. Spike and Zecora waved back while everyone else was shocked Angel was their. They would have questioned it more until Spike whispered something to Daimon. Said dark Arisen's eyes widened in realization before he burst out laughing.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! So you knew the whole time?” He asked Spike, only to receive a nod as Spike struggled to keep his giggles in. All the ponies hidden were even more confused to what he meant, but they soon realized when Daimon stood to his full height.

“You can come out now, we know your their!” He shouted, which shocked every hidden pony stiff. How did Spike know we were here, they thought but then realized the situation. Twilight and Pinkie looked back to where Daimon was, only to find him right in front of them. Twilight and Pinkie shrieked like Fluttershy and launched themselves out of the bushes. They landed back in and stared back out to see Daimon still their. All the ponies froze until all their bushes were incinerated. They all looked to Daimon and saw his right claw holding a orange swirling, glowing orb in it. Zecora stood next to him, trying to not laugh at everyone’s expression, while Spike and Angel were rolling on the floor laughing their heads off. Daimon was in a similar situation to Zecora, only louder. Celestia was the first one to recover and trotted closer to Daimon. He saw this and fixed a neutral look.

The solar Alicorn stopped immediately. She knew he hated her the most and didn’t want to cause another fight, especially with what she already done. But what surprised her next was when Daimon walked in front of her, knelt down, and gave her a gentle hug. Everyone except Spike, Zecora, and Angel were shocked. Celestia was the most shocked but then hugged him back, she had to stand on her hind legs to do it though. After a few minutes, Daimon set her back on all four hooves as he stood back to his full height with a gentle smile.

“You don’t have to apologize again. I don’t know why you were following them (pointing at Spike and Zecora) but it’s alright. I could tell you weren’t doing anything harmful. I am happy you apologized and I can tell how bad you felt, i could see it in your eyes. I forgive you for what you did, and so does my sister and Fluttershy. Just never do it again.” he said the last part sternly and a little louder. Celestia flinched at the last part but smiled gratefully before speaking.

“Thank you, I was worried you would not be so forgiving. I am truly sorry for how i treated you and would like to make amends, if you would let me.” she said with a hopeful look. Daimon smiled even bigger before speaking.

“That would be great, but not now though. Me and my friends have to get back to my home. I have cake’s to bake, and my sister has a cape to make.” He said the last part looking at Zecora with a smirk. Said Zebra gave a chuckle at his rhyming. Daimon then turned to everyone in the back.

“I forgive you all as well. You just acted on instinct. Like I said before, don’t harm me or my friends, and I won’t go crazy again.” He said while giving himself the crazy gesture. All the ponies smiled before Twilight got curious about one thing he said.

“Wait, you said your friends. Aren’t we friends now?” She asked, only to get a head shake from Daimon.

“Not yet.” He answered, only to have Rainbow Dash fly up to his face.

“Why not, we said we were sorry and you accepted our apology, we should be friends now.” she said angrily, only to have Daimon grab her with his large claw. His hand was so large it covered a good ¾  of her body. He then held her up to his face and gave her a VERY intimidating glare. She immediately stifled anything else she was going to say. Daimon then held her at arm's length before turning back to everyone else.

“Who does she belong to?” He asked, getting a risen hoof from Twilight. He then outstretched his hand and let Celestia levitate Rainbow back to Twilight and the others. Luna however, gave Rainbow a harsh glare which pretty much said “talk again and I will end you.”

Daimon then decided to explain before more conflict arose. “I’m not your friend yet, keyword yet, because friendships aren’t formed off the bat like that. You may have apologized and felt bad for what you did, but that doesn’t mean i’m all of a sudden going to come and be friends. Friendships are built up and involve bond. So far none of you have given me that. Only Spike, Zecora, and Fluttershy have given me that.” All the ponies eyes widened in realization before Daimon finished.

“Look, i'm busy and have things to do, so if you really want to talk or become friends, try and follow me, but before I go.” As he finished he lunged at a tree next to Applejack. Said apple farmer jumped out of the way just as Daimon got to the tree. Everyone was confused and shocked until they saw him grab something invisible. The invisible being them materialized into none other than “DISCORD?!”

Said lord of chaos was struggling to get out of Daimon’s vice grip on his neck. He wasn't focused enough to teleport away, but was shocked when he was placed back on the ground. Discord looked to see Daimon with a kind smile as the demon stepped back to give him some space. Discord recovered quickly and smiled before speaking.

“So your the reason the Tia and Lulu left me at the castle.” He said while Daimon giggled at the Princess's nicknames before answering.

“Yes, nice to meet you, i’m Daimon. You must be Discord, the Lord of Chaos and Disharmony i’ve heard about.” He answered, getting a nod from the draconequus.

“Who did you hear about me from?” He asked.

“I heard it from Fluttershy.” Daimon answered, to which shocked Discord greatly.

“You know Fluttershy?” he asked, to which Daimon nodded. He then had an idea that would probably make Fluttershy happy.

“Why don’t you follow me back to my home. Fluttershy and my sister are their right now, we're gonna have cake.” He said, which made Discord smile.

“That sounds splendid. I think i will come and add my own ‘input’ to it.” He said with a smirk. Daimon just chuckled before turning back to Zecora and Spike. He walked over but then had a question for Discord.

“Hey, can you make me some rope?” he asked. Discord just laughed before answering.

“Easy, being a reality warper has its advantages.” he said as he snaps his fingers and a 26 foot long rope appeared. Daimon nodded thanks before breaking the rope in half. He then looped and tied one half around the cake supplies cart and the other around the sewing supplies cart. He then kneeled and let Spike, Zecora, and Angel back on him.

Before they could leave however, Celestia and Twilight trotted up. “Discord, where are you going? Your supposed to be at the castle anyway.” Twilight said, with Celestia nodding in agreement. The lord of chaos just waved it off before explaining.

“Yes, but I couldn’t just waste the chance to see something new like this. Besides, I only found you after you walked back to the castle. What did you do anyway?” he asked only for Daimon to answer.

“I’ll tell you later, now come on, we don't want to take to long.” he said as he launched himself into the air. Discord flew after him, but Daimon thought he should assure everyone before he left.

“Don’t worry everyone. I know Fluttershy will keep him in line. Beside’s, he’s lasted this long without causing to much trouble right?” Twilight was about to argue, but then thought about it more. Fluttershy did have more control over Discord then anybody, and Daimon seemed to rival Discord in power, in his awakened form at least. If Ornstein is their as well, both could probably beat or at least restrain Discord until they could use the elements. Celestia felt the same way.

“Also, you are all still welcome to try and follow us, bye.” Daimon said as he and Discord, along with Spike, Zecora, and Angel flew off. They all just remembered Daimon said they could follow them. Applejack was the first to break the silence.

“C’mon everypony. This is our chance to make amends.” she said as everyone nodded and took of in the direction Daimon and Discord went.
> Peace

No POV

At the Castle of the two sisters, Daimon and Discord just landed in front of the castle. “So this is where you live.” Said Discord in realization. Daimon nodded before kneeling to let Zecora and Spike slide off of him. Angel wanted to ride on his head. They were all a little worried on letting Discord of all people in on this, but were reminded that Discord has proven himself, at least mostly trustworthy already. So they all decided to give him a chance.

“I can’t wait for you to meet my sister. I think you guys will get along great.” Daimon said to Discord with a smile. This made said Draconequus smile widely.

“Thank you, I’m looking forward to meeting her too.” He said as he started floating again. Daimon smiled bigger before continuing to the castle. Once they entered, they saw Ornstein practicing spear combos and Fluttershy feeding some birds and squirrels.

“Hey everyone, we got the supplies, and a new arrival.” Spike said as Fluttershy and Ornstein turned to see Discord floating their with a smile. Both girls were shocked to see him their, but then Ornstein simply walked over and held out her armored hand.

“Hello, my names Ornstein. It’s nice to meet you.” She said with a smile. Discord was shocked, but smiled as he held out his eagle talon and shook.

“It is nice to meet you as well, I am Discord. I have heard a lot about you from your brother and Spike here.” He said with a gesture at Daimon. This got a smirk from Daimon, a blush under Ornstein’s helmet, and a blush and glare from Spike.

“Really, what did they tell you?” She asked sheepishly and was glad that they couldn’t see through her helmet. Discord got a smirk and would have answered if Fluttershy hadn’t come in to save Ornstein.

“Discord? What are you doing here? And stop teasing Ornstein.” She said, to which Discord hung his head until Ornstein stepped in.

“It’s fine. Beside’s he could have done worse. He could have acted it out.” She said, to which Discord laughed out loud along with Spike, Zecora, and Daimon. After everyone calmed down they all walked inside so Daimon and Ornstein could finally get to work.



~With everyone else~


Twilight and anyone else who could fly had tailed Daimon and Discord to the Castle of the two sisters. They were shocked that this is where they were staying but were grateful Daimon allowed them to follow them. They landed back down with everyone else to give them the good news.

“Good news everyone, we found them. Their at me and Luna’s old castle.” She said with a smile. Everyone else smiled as well. Rainbow then frowned before asking what’s been plaguing her mind for a little bit.

“I still don’t get why we had to get Daimon’s permission to follow him. We could have just done it anyway.” she said. Everyone had thought of that, but Luna spoke up next.

“That is because before he did, he threatened to fight us again if we did. His sister joined in as well, and we all wouldn’t have been able to drive him back without her help or Fluttershy, Zecora, and Spike.” She said with a glare. Rainbow then remembered how terrifying Daimon was when he was angry, and if his sister was helping him, welllllll.

“Oh right. Sorry.” she said, only to get a hug from the night princess.

“It is alright. It was a simple mistake. Now, let us go and make amends” She said before flying off to the castle. Twilight and Celestia used their magic to levitate Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack as they all flew off to the castle.



~10 minutes later~


They all finally arrived at the castle’s front. They all had a bad feeling about this. Everytime they come here something weird or bad happens, and now Daimon and Ornstein live here. And to top it all off, DISCORD is here with them. They all sucked it up though. They already caused enough trouble, now was not the time to chicken out or get paranoid. So without further ado, Celestia and Luna opened the doors and they all trotted in, what they saw was surprising, and comforting.

Daimon was using immolation while standing under a metal table with two big, slowly baking cakes in a large glass box over it, probably made by Discord, while Ornstein and Spike were knitting what looked like a large red cape with an image of said Knight’s spear in the middle. Rarity and Pinkie were ecstatic and had to be held down to avoid lunging over and helping.

Twilight was the first to break out of her stupor. “Hello?” she asked, and received shocked looks but they all quickly turned into happy looks.

“Hello Twilight and friends, have you come to make amends?” asked Zecora as they all trotted forward. Celestia spoke first.

“Yes, we have all come to apologize again. If you’ll allow us.” She said with sincerity. Daimon and Ornstein both looked at each other before nodding and looking back at the ponies.

“Yes, and the fact your willing to apologize again has meaning in itself. You still have to do it though. Besides, I haven’t been apologized to yet.” Ornstein said. All the new Ponies looked at each other before nodding and trotting forward. Twilight spoke first.

“I’m sorry for accusing you two and calling you Monsters. I was just so worried for Fluttershy and Spike I acted on instinct and didn’t think straight. I’m really sorry.” she said with a massive sad face. Daimon and Ornstein smiled and nodded thanks to her. Twilight smiled gratefully before stepping out of the way. Applejack came up next.

“I’m mighty sorry too. I was too quick to judge you on your looks. I’m supposed to be the element of Honesty, yet I couldn’t see you were telling the truth. I swear on mah honor to never misjudge someone again. Especially you two.” She said, which got a bigger smile from the two powerful siblings. They gave the apple farmer a thankful nod before Pinkie trotted up next. Her big eyes were big and watery and her mane was flat.

“I-i-i-i-i-i’m s-s-s-sorry a-a-as w-w-w-well. I shouldn't have been such a meanie pants. I’m supposed to make p-p-p-people laugh. Instead, I made you guys really angry. I’m so s-s-s-s-s-SORRRRRRYYYYYY! Wahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!” Pinkie shouted as she let the tear ducts out. Surprising to her, both Daimon and Ornstein appeared beside her and wrapped her in a massive hug. Said knight and Arisen had huge smile’s on her faces.

“Don’t cry. It wasn't completely your fault. You just wanted to protect Fluttershy. I can respect that. You just didn’t stop and wait. Beside’s, it all worked out in the end, and you did make me laugh a little when you disappeared in that bush. Hey, when were done, i’ll make more cakes for everyone.” Daimon said with a smile. Pinkie smiled as her mane poofed back up as they set her back as they set her down. Ornstein gave her a thumbs up before they all backed up to give the next pony some space. That pony was Rarity.

“I am deeply sorry as well. I acted very unlady like when I hit you with that boulder. I am also in the same boat as my friends and i feel just terrible for how I treated you. I hope you can forgive me as well.” She said with a sad frown, only to smile when Ornstein placed her hand on Rarity’s shoulder.

“It’s alright. Your right, you had the same problem as everyone else. But you had good intentions. Besides, your being pretty generous by giving us a second chance anyway. Thank you.” Ornstein said with a smile under her helmet. Somehow, Rarity could tell and smiled in return. Rarity stepped back just as Princess Luna trotted forward.

“We are sorry as well. If we had just listen to thow, then none of this would have happened.” She said with a frown. Daimon just smiled before replying.

“Hey, you were the only one who hesitated to fight us. And you scolded them afterward. You deserve the least of the blame besides them.” He said pointing at Spike, Zecora, and Fluttershy. Luna smiled widely before giving a curt nod and trotting back next to her sister. Finally, Rainbow flew over, not even looking at them.

“I-i’m sorry as well. I shouldn’t have acted like such a jerk. I just, when I first saw you with Flutters, it looked like you were going to crush her. I just reacted on instinct like everyone else. I have a habit of doing not thinking. I’m really sorry too.” she said with a surprisingly large amount of sincerity. Daimon was shocked, as well as Ornstein. From how she acted earlier, they didn’t expect her to apologize like this. They were shocked, but it was quickly replaced by admiration. Daimon reached a large hand out and with his index claw, lightly scratched behind her ear. Rainbow did not expect this, and the sudden sensation caused her to land on the ground and lean into Daimon’s touch.

“It’s alright. You were just being very protective of your friends. And the fact you never quit when fighting me was a true show of courage. And you stuck with what you thought was right. Being loyal doesn’t always mean doing what your friends say, it means to trust them, and sometimes your just too confused to trust them, that doesn’t mean your a bad friend. Remember that.” He said with a kind smile that could rival Celestia’s motherly smile.

Rainbow was bewildered he forgave her so easily. She thought he would be almost as mad at her as he was at Princess Celestia. She was however, grateful he wasn’t. She then saw Ornstein hold out her fist. Rainbow was confused at first but then realized what she wanted. She flew high enough and then bumped her hoof with Ornstein’s armored fist. Ornstein gave her a nod as Rainbow smiled and flew back with everyone else.

Lastly, Celestia trotted up. She was about to speak but was silenced by a raised hand from Daimon. He then stepped out of the way for Fluttershy to trot up. This made the white Alicorn tilt her head down even more. Fluttershy however, wasn’t mad at all. In fact, she had been silently cheering for everyone for apologizing before. She wasn’t mad at Celestia either since Daimon told her that she apologized twice before they got here. Neither was Ornstein. She was also happy at how the white Alicorn had Apologized too, and also felt bad for how much guilt she must have felt after the whole ordeal.

Ornstein and Fluttershy looked at each other and gave a consecutive nod and walked forward. Before Celestia could speak again she was once again wrapped in a massive hug. One on her legs and another on her neck. She was shocked out of her stupors when they let go. She saw the smiling face of Fluttershy,the happy nod of Ornstein, and the smile of Spike as he walked up as well. No words needed to be said. Everyone agreed as well. Even though she was at the most fault, Celestia had apologized the most and felt the worst. Daimon, Fluttershy, Ornstein, Zecora, and Spike all agreed she had suffered enough so they all said the one sentence everyone needed to hear.

“We forgive you.”


All the other ponies smiled and smiled wider and Daimon and Ornstein beckoned them over and they all started a great party. And I’m talking a Pinkie style party. With a little bit of Chaos. 

”This will  be fun” The Arisen and Golden knight said as they fist bumped with happy smirks on their faces or in Ornstein’s case, under her helmet.
> Fun party times
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

No POV

The party was going swell. Daimon, Pinkie, Angel, and Celestia were eating the massive cakes Daimon made, and the extra two Pinkie helped make. Angel and Pinkie were devouring their cakes at lightning speed, while Daimon and Celestia were enjoying their cake. This went on for a couple minutes until there was one slice of cake left near Daimon. Pinkie and Angel backed off since Angel was stuffed, and Pinkie saw Daimon reach for the last piece. Unfortunately for him, when he grabbed the paper plate, there was a force pulling it against him. Daimon then noticed a golden aura around the left side of the plate. He looked up to be staring into the eyes of a certain solar Alicorn, who’s horn was glowing.

They both blushed before Daimon tugged on the plate more. “Sorry Celestia, but I had it first.” He said as he tugged it towards him more. Celestia however, used her magic to yank it more towards her.

“I am sorry as well Daimon, but I have a rather large fascination of cakes as well. I shall be the one to have the last piece if you don’t mind.” Celestia said. Daimon didn’t give up however and yanked on the plate again.

“Yeah I don’t think so.” He said as the plate was then yanked out of his grip. Celestia grinned madly and casted a shield around herself. She was going to eat the cake, but Daimon somehow broke through her shield and tackled her to the ground. Well, more precisely, his chest and head tackled her to the ground.

The cake, somehow, landed safely on the ground a few feet away on the ground. Daimon quickly got up and lunged for it. He was able to grab the cake and lift it over his head, but before he could drop it into his mouth, a small magic blast hit him in the face. It didn’t hurt, but it allowed him to drop the cake which Celestia caught with her magic. She smirked over her victory but her smirk disappeared when she lost sight of him. She heard a thud behind her and before she could react she was pinned to the floor and had her horn covered by a massive claw. She tried to use magic, but Daimons hand was effectively blocking it like an inhibitor ring. Daimon held the cake in front of her tauntingly before speaking.

“Ha, try something now princess.” He said with a laugh. He looked down, but only saw Celestia with a pout. Seeing her like that sent a sharp sting to his chest, so being the nice person he is, he got up and placed the cake down in front of the solar Alicorn. He then dusted her off before walking back over to a smiling Fluttershy.

“That was very nice Daimon, i’m proud of you.” she said as she flew up and gave his head a hug. This made Daimon blush but it was thankfully hidden under his hard skin. He waited for the butter cream colored pegasus to let go before answering.

“I saw her sad, so I thought it would be nice t-” he paused as he somehow heard Celestia and Luna talking about a foot away from him.

“Sister, why did thou get so sad when sir Daimon had the cake?” Luna asked her sister.

“Oh I wasn’t sad, I used that trick to get him to let me have the cake.” she said, to which Luna gasped but then giggled.

“That was naughty sister, you better hope he doesn't find out.” she said, to which Celestia giggled herself.

“Oh he won’t find out.” she said. If only she was right. Daimon didn’t even know he had this ability, but he couldn’t be more grateful he did.

‘She tricked me! Curse my big heart’ he thought frustratingly. He knew it wasn’t a big deal, but he always had a soft spot for pouty faces, and he fell for it again. He then had a plan for revenge.

“I’ll be right back.” he said to Fluttershy as he walked over to Discord. Said Draconequus was chatting with Pinkie about chocolate rain. Daimon was confused but shrugged it off as he tapped Discord on the shoulder to get his attention.

“Oh hello Daimon, how are you doing.” Discord asked surprisingly nicely.

“Oh well, but I do need a favor” he said as he leaned forward and whispered something in Discord’s ear. The lord of chaos’ eyes widened in shock but he then grew a mischievous smirk. He then snapped his fingers and a ten foot tall chocolate cake appeared behind them. Daimon thanked him before he tore a large chunk out of it and hurled it at Celestia. Celestia didn’t notice the incoming projectile and was pelted in the face by the large piece of cake. She ended up falling and having her head covered in cake.

Everyone was shocked except for Daimon, Discord, Ornstein, Spike, and Luna who busted a gut and fell over laughing while Daimon stood with a triumphant smirk.

Celestia, after 4 tries, finally yanked her head out of the cake with her entire muzzle a dirt like brown. She shook it off and glared back at Daimon who was still smirking as everyone picked themselves up or got over from their shock.

“That's what you get for lying to me, punk.” Everyone except Ornstein gasped at what he said. No one besides Luna has ever spoken to Celestia like that. Celestia put on a shocked face for two reasons. One, he had heard her conversation after all, and two, he called her a punk as if it meant nothing. She wasn’t mad however, in fact, she grew a sinister smirk in response, to everyone’s shock.

“Well played Daimon, well played.” She said as she levitated about half of the chunk that was on the floor and hurled it at Daimon. Daimon, reacting quickly, dodged out of the way and the cake ended up hitting Spike. Luna, Pinkie, Twilight, and Ornstein busted out laughing, but it ceased when another piece of cake flew and hit Luna in the muzzle. Everyone turned to see Spike in a follow through position.

Luna wiped the cake off of her before everyone gave a standoff glare as they all moved to one side. Daimon, Ornstein, Spike, Discord, Zecora, and Angel on one side, with the main six and the Princesses on the other. Discord made one more 10 foot tall cake on each side and made the original one disappear to make it fair. Rarity didn’t want to at first but was “convinced” by Rainbow and Applejack to help, she was still mostly against it though.

“This whole ordeal is most ridiculous.” she said with her head held high. Ornstein however, had other plans.

“I call dibs on hitting her first.” she said as she grabbed a piece of cake and threw it.

Rarity was shocked to hear that from the person she was helping a few moments ago.“Don’t you da-” SPLAT. The cake landed smack dab on her face, and because it was so large, it covered her mane too.

“MY MANE!” she shouted after she uncovered her eyes.

“What you gonna do about it?” Asked Ornstein tauntingly. Rarity did the classic wipe face move and then put on her ‘it is on’ face before shouting.

“CAKE WAR! Aee-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-taaaaaaa!” she shouted with a war cry at the end. That was the last call anyone needed to start. So everyone grabbed/levitated cake, and the war had begun.
> Ornstein wows the Equestrians

No POV

After the “cake war” ended, everyone was satisfied both food wise and entertainment wise. Now though, it was time for answers. Predictably, Twilight was the first to start asking questions. She made a notepad appear before approaching Daimon and Ornstein.

“Hi, if it's ok with you, I would like to ask you a few questions.” Twilight said with a hopeful smile, which expanded into a crazy smile when they nodded.

“But first” Ornstein said as she nodded to Daimon, who used ingle to fire a fireball at the floating parchment, turning it into cinders instantly. Twilight shrieked before facing Daimon with a glare.

“HEY! What was that for?!” she shrieked in anger as steam poured out of her eyes, but immediately was replaced by nervousness when Daimon and Ornstein leaned in closer.

“We burned it because we prefer to not have our powers and personalities free for any villain or psychopath to get their hands on. I mean, what if a evil Changeling found out about it and was able to control one of us. You already know how hard it is to deal with one of us.” Ornstein said in a stern voice to which Daimon nodded his approval. Everyone in the room gasped at this information, and then thought more on it. They did have a point, and with all the trouble they caused already, why did they have the right to force them into something. They probably couldn’t if they tried anyway. Twilight wasn’t convinced though.

“So, this is a historic event. It needs to be documented. And what are the chances someone will try to turn you against us anyway?” She asked frustrated, but was surprised at their answer.

“Well what were the odds Trixie would find out about the Alicorn amulet?” He asked, which shut Twilight up immediately. She wanted to argue, but couldn’t. Trixie must have found out about that by hearing or reading it somewhere, and everyone knew how terrible that turned out. She was shocked though when Daimon put his large hand on her back and gave it a soft rub. This made Twilight’s mind go fuzzy at how surprisingly soft his hand was. When he took it away she looked up to see his smiling face before he spoke.

“It’s alright. And hey, just because you can’t document it now, doesn’t mean you can’t later okay. We just aren’t comfortable with it yet is all.” He said with a smile. Twilight smiled back before nodding with an “Alright”.

“Well then, let’s get this started. What questions do you guys have?” Ornstein asked, to which Applejack answered.

“How did yall shoot that lightning mess from your spear like you did during our fight yesterday?” Applejack asked while eyeing Ornstein’s spear. Said gold knight simply nodded before answering. In her head though, she was grateful she researched Ornstein’s attacks and lore on Wikipedia.

“It’s a power special to me and my armor. My golden armor is imbued with the power of lightning. My spear is as well but only I can use it to launch my lightning attacks. The one I used in that fight was my Heavy Lightning Spear. I have a similar lightning attack called Quick Lightning Spear. It is much like the first one but is much faster, and I can shoot it faster. I have multiple lightning attacks and spear combos, would you like to see them?” She asked, to which everyone nodded eagerly, especially Spike.

Ornstein attacks:Only look at Ornstein’s attacks and Smough's Lightning form Banzai Drop. 

She smiled and told everyone to stand back. She then asked Luna if she could teleport in a training dummy. The Lunar Alicorn nodded with a smile and teleported a dummy the size of Big Mac into the room. Once it popped into the room, she charged her Heavy Lightning Spear and hurled it at the dummy, effectively shocking it and burning the cloth in the process. Everyone gasped at the attack, but were shocked when Ornstein asked for 3 more dummies. She then fired her Quick Lightning Spear and destroyed another dummy. She performed a Charging Spear and blew the next dummy into pieces.

“This is one of my favorite attacks because of it’s area of effect, and with how funny it is. It’s called the Lightning Banzai Drop, but I just call it the butt-slam.” she said before motioning everyone to back up and then leaping into the air but she also started having lightning spark all over her body while she was in the air, which was strange. Then, pausing in mid-air, she crashes onto the ground in a sitting position. In the process, massive sparks of lightning shot out from under her. Everyone in the room was shocked at the power behind it, especially Daimon and Ornstein. They didn’t remember the butt-slam having such a large radius. Daimon then had an idea and walked over to his sister after she got up.

“Hey sis, the lightning from that was a lot more like Smough’s then Ornstein's, don’t you think?” He asked, to which she nodded. She must have inherited one of Smough’s powers as well like how Daimon got Grand Ingle from Awakened Daimon. It was cool to know though, so she decided to let it slide and go back to her presentation. She decided to save one lightning attack for last though. After she got up, she looked at the ponies shocked faces and gave a “ta da”. Everyone then burst out laughing at the powerful but ridiculous looking attack.

So next she moved on to Spear Combos. She performed many combos like (both large and small form) Swinging, Thrust, and Heavy Combos. She also showed them both form versions of the Jumping Attack, Charging Spear, and Evasive Swing. She now had only one attack left, and it was one she was looking forward to doing. The Lightning Impale.

“Alright, this is my last attack. This one is called the Lightning Impale. I will need one more dummy for this one.” She said as Luna teleported another dummy into the room. Ornstein then walked up to it, charged her Dragonslayer’s spear with lightning, and thrust it into the much smaller dummy. She then lifted it into the air, all the ponies, zebra, and dragon watched in anticipation as the dummy was lifted while still impaled by the lightning charged spear. Then, to everyone’s shock, the dummy had thousands of massive gold yellow lightning bolts burst out of it. Everypony, dragon, and zebra watched in amazement, but were curious as to why the dummy didn’t explode. When the attack finished, Ornstein swiped her spear in the air and flung the dummy off it and made it crash into the wall behind the bewildered Equestrians.

They all looked back from the dummy, to Ornstein, and gave her a vigorous applause. Ornstein chuckled and gave an actors bow before thanking them. Pinkie was the first pony to congratulate her.

“Wowthatwasawesome,yourattacksweresofastandquickandlightyitwaslikealightshow,owonderwhythedummydidntexplodethough,doyouknowwhythedummydidn-mmmmmhhmhmhmhhhmhhh.” She kept saying even though Applejack had covered her mouth with a hoof.

“Don’t dun mind her, she’s just excited. But she is right, how did your last attack not explode the dummy like the other ones?” She asked, to which everyone else looked to her for an answer.

“I think it’s because its supposed to be a pain based attack, not really a killing one.” She said to which everyone looked a little unnerved at the news, except Daimon, Spike, Fluttershy, and Zecora.

“Hey hey hey, don’t worry about it, i won’t ever have to use that attack much. Besides, you get to see this guys moves now.” She said while gesturing to Daimon whowalked forward. This time, Fluttershy and Celestia walked a little forward.

“I am curious as well to see your attacks, while not having to dodge them.” Celestia said, to which Fluttershy just gave him a sweet smile. Daimon smiled back before grinning at everyone.

“You have requested, so you shall receive.” he said, which made Rainbow fly up next to Fluttershy.

“This is going to be sweet.” she said with a gleeful smile as Daimon got into a ready stance. He was about to show them some of the power of the Dark Arisen.
> Daimon's skill and growing feelings
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

No POV

Daimon was actually excited to showcase some of his powers. First he decided to state one fact.

“All my spells are offensive spells. They are for attacking, or defending someone BY attacking someone.” he explained, to which everyone nodded in understanding.  He decided to start of with his fire based abilities. He first tried High Ingle, which Twilight was fascinated by. Next he told everyone to step back, and then used Immolation, which got Celestia’s attention.

“This is one i’m really proud of, it’s called Bolide.” He said as he started casting. Twilight watched his hands glow, but was shocked when seven orange glowing orbs surrounded him. They then disappeared and out of nowhere, balls of flaming mass smashed the ground around them. When the bombardment stopped, everyone saw that the meteors never landed really close to them. If anything, they landed closer to DAIMON instead. They also were fascinated by the glowing run circles that marked where the meteors would land. By far, Celestia, Spike, Twilight, and Luna were shocked the most.

Twilight POV

‘How is he so powerful with magic. I’ve never seen spells like these cast before, or by anything other then unicorns, alicorns, Discord, and Tirek. I need to get him to teach me these.” she thought while smiling her classic maniac smile.

Spike POV

‘Wow, he is awesome, I forgot he could do this stuff. I wonder if he can teach me to do this. Maybe I could be like him. I bet that would impress Rarity…. and Ornstein.’ Spike thought in his head with a hopeful look.

Luna POV

‘I can see why Daimon and Ornstein didn’t want this documented. If another revenge crazed pony or worse learned spells like this. I am glad they are our friends and not enemies.’ she thought with a smile.

Celestia POV

‘How is one being so powerful. Both Daimon and Ornstein are on a Discord and Tirek level, especially with how difficult one of them was to deal with, WITH the other helping. Still though, they make up for it with their kindness. Daimon really isn’t so bad as I thought. Especially his kind, glowing green eyes, large powerful wings, and his big, ripe muscular arm-

“Tia, why are you drooling?” Luna whispered, trying to stifle a giggle.

No POV

Celestia’s eyes widened in shock at what she was doing, AND thinking. She looked down and saw a tiny line of drool leaking from her muzzle. She quickly and quietly as possible slurped it back up and while everyone was distracted by Daimon, without detection moved them to the back of the crowd before glaring at her sister.

“You will speak nothing of this.” she whispered with a heated glare. Luna just stifled another laugh before speaking.

“I shall draw no attention to this matter, but why were you drooling sister?” She whispered, to which Celestia blushed and looked back towards Daimon, but made the mistake of looking right where she was before.

Before she could catch herself, Luna already caught on and barely stopped herself from bursting into a fit of laughter before speaking again.

“We see you have taken a fascination in sir Daimon. We knew you were on good terms with him, but we did not think the terms were this grand.” She said while snickering. Celestia’s muzzle turned even more red before knocking her sister upside the head with her hoof.

“We will speak of this later” she hissed as she trotted back to the group. Luna just snickered more before following.

Back with Daimon, he just finished showing them Grand Ingle and Levin, and was moving on to his ice spells. He first showed them all the ways he could use his ice spikes attack. Rainbow Dash liked how two of them were kind of ariel moves. Next he showed them Grand Frigor. Fluttershy did scream however when one ice spike came a little close to her. Rainbow laughed, but screamed as well when another one shot up right in front of her face. That made everyone laugh. Daimon quickly apologized to Fluttershy before continuing.

Next he showed them High Seism. He first told everyone to stay FAR back for this one. They started seeing the rune circles again before the ground started to rumble and eruptions of stone flew into the air all around Daimon. Twilight was staring quizzically at the rune circles.

Twilight POV

‘What strange symbols. I hope he can tell me what they mean later’ she thought with hope, once again sporting her maniac smile.

No POV

Daimon now decided to move on to his more darker spells. He first cast Miasma, and they were shocked to see a large bog that looked unnerving and putrid. Next Daimon casted high petrification, and once he told everyone what it does, they all became very fearful, but Daimon assured them that it was safe, especially since the spell activated a good foot away from them.

Finally, the hate cannon. Daimon then flew into the air as his arms up to his elbows were covered in a purple aura, after a few seconds he swept his arms back and forth sideways 5 times and about 10 powerful blasts of Magic shot out all around the group, some even going in arcks around them before smashing into the ground, creating large craters.

After Daimon landed, he was met with the shocked expressions of everyone except Ornstein. Both of them clapped rather loudly to snap them out of their stupor.

“Alright, now lastly, I’ll show you my physical attacks.” and the minute he finished, Luna turned to her sister with a knowing smirk that only got bigger when she saw the sun princess staring at Daimon’s arms again.

Daimon started out with his melee combo. Next the roundhouse kick, followed by the charge, fist of the abyss, and dodge roll. He however failed to notice Fluttershy and Celestia staring at the muscular parts of his body during the Fist of the Abyss and the Roundhouse kick.

“Rainbow, I think you’ll like this one, it’s my version of a dive bomb.” he said as he then asked for 5 training dummies, which Twilight teleported in almost instantly. He then flew into the air, charged downward and crashed into the ground and then sliding a few feet across it in a spinning motion. This launched every single dummy into the air, and one accidentally hit Discord in the head, who just laughed along with Pinkie who had one land on top of her.

“That was AWESOME!” Rainbow shouted as she did a loop de loop in the air in excitement. Daimon thanked her before moving on. Celestia and Twilight had their mouths gaping like fish until Discord and Spike respectively closed their mouths. Luna just burst out laughing at her sister’s reaction before being knocked upside the head again by said sister.

Daimon then moved on to his final attack, the death grab. He asked for a dummy Discord’s size, but also made of metal with plate mail armor on it. This time Luna teleported in a dragon dummy, Discords size, but also made of metal with plate mail armor on it. Daimon flew forward, faster then running speed with his right hand glowing the same purple as when he did the hate cannon, and quickly swept his hand down snatching it up in the blink of an eye. He then held it out for a few seconds before crushing it in his hand while causing a light glowing purple mist to animate from his hand before dropping it on the floor. Everyone except Ornstein was shocked to see the large metal dummy completely crushed and laying in a heap of scrap metal.


Celestia POV

‘Wow, he really is strong, with those big, muscular- what am I saying? I’m a Princess, I shouldn’t be having thoughts like that, especially to someone I just met. Besides, Lulu would never let me hear the end of it. He is kind of a looker though with those arms and legs.’ I then abruptly slapped myself to clear my head of these thoughts, and hopefully to stop my face from looking like a tomato. ‘Wait, why is Daimon blushing’.


Fluttershy POV

‘Wow, he really is strong. His leg strength could probably put Big Mac and Applejack to shame. And those Arms. He could probably knock down a mountain with those. Wah, what am I thinking.’ she said as her face went beet red. ‘Wait, why is Daimon blushing’.

Daimon POV

‘Whew, that took some effort. Was nice to stretch some thoug- why are Celestia and Shy staring at me like that’ I thought while blushing so bright it actually showed through my skin.


No POV

Daimon, Fluttershy, and Celestia connected the dots and then turned away from each other, blushing even brighter. Sadly for them, Rainbow, Luna, and Discord noticed and all 3 started guffawing VERY loudly. Daimon, Shy, and Celestia’s embarrassment quickly changed to anger, even Fluttershy. The 3 laughing immediately stopped when fireballs and yellow magic blasts wizzed close to them and struck the wall.

They turned to see Daimon with his eyes glowing red now, Celestia with her mane on fire, and Fluttershy using The Stare. Rainbow shrunk back in fear of The Stare, Discord walked backwards when Daimon started pounding his large right fist into his open left hand, and Luna slowly backpedaled from her angry, flaming maned, sister.

“Got anything else to say?” All three enraged beings sayed at the same time, to which the 3 former laughers nodded yes quickly. Daimon, Celestia, and Fluttershy then quickly calmed down like nothing happened.

“Good” they said in unison. Daimon then walked back next to his sister and watched in amusement at everyone’s shocked expressions (Except for Celestia and Fluttershy).

“Well, what did you think?” Daimon asked. Pinkie, Rainbow (who recovered from The Stare), and Twilight quickly rushed over, but before they could say anything, their was a belch behind them. Spike was holding out a scroll, which to his irritation was quickly taken away by Twilight. She read it, and almost fainted. Celestia quickly took the letter, read through it, and started charging her horn.

“We need to get to ponyville now.” she said in a serious tone.

“What is it?” Daimon asked.

“Thousands of Timberwolves appeared on the edge of ponyville, and it looks as if they are preparing to attack.” she said as she teleported everyone to Ponyville.
> Daimon, Ornstein and Spike vs Timberwolf legion
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

No POV

The group was teleported back to Ponyville. There they saw THOUSANDS of timberwolves outside the edge of the everfree forest. Twilight noticed however that the wooden wolves had a black aura oozing off of them. 

“What’s the plan princess?” Rainbow asked, but was stopped by a loud “Ahem” from the resident knight and dark arisen. All the ponies, zebra, and dragon turned to see both Daimon and Ornstein giving them the ‘really’ look while Daimon cast Grand Ingle into the sky and Ornstein activated her lightning spear. 

They all faced hooved (clawed for spike) and gave a sheepish smile, forgetting they had two new VERY powerful friends and both had the main weaknesses to wood besides termites, fire, or in Ornstein’s case, lightning that causes fire. Daimon and Ornstein chuckled before taking off towards the wooden army. Twilight then noticed something, or more accurately somedragon was missing.

“Where’s Spike?” 


~With Daimon and Ornstein~ 


Spike was riding on Daimon’s head. He was excited, terrified, and confused all together.

“Why did you bring me along?” He asked, to which Ornstein answered.

“1. You have fire breath. 2. You are one of the 2 people we trust the most. 3. You deserve to help save the day on purpose this time.” she said with a hidden smile, but Spike could tell it was their. The little dragon then spouted a determined look and stood up on Daimon’s head proudly, ready for the coming battle. It also helped that he remembered the pep talk Daimon gave him earlier before the girls came to the castle.


~Flashback (3rd person)~

Daimon decided to talk to Spike since they had to wait for the ponies to get their. He walked down one of the many halls of the castle to the small dragon and sat next to him.

“Spike, i’m not gonna sugarcoat this, i’ve noticed you seem sad whenever me and Ornstein do something cool.” he said, to which Spike looked down sadly. Daimon picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. 

“C’mon Spike. Talk to me. I won’t judge.” he said in a brotherly tone. Spike smiled at that before speaking.

“It’s just that. All my life i’ve been treated like a baby and manipulated to do work for almost everyone I know. They all even make fun of me and prank me. I’ve just been so sick of it. Then you guys show up out of nowhere and. Your everything I want to be. Tough, Brave, Confident, BIG. I just wish I was more like you.” he said with a sad sigh. He was shocked when Daimon gave him a brotherly, but surprisingly gentle bear hug. When he released him, he looked him straight in the eye before speaking.

“Spike, you listen to me. You're all those things and more. The fact you put up with all of that makes you tough. The fact you stood up to your ruler makes you brave and confident, and everything you’ve done for your friends makes you big in your own way. You may not be on my level, but your strong on your own. Look at it this way, at your age you can breath fire, take hits from basically anyone and live, and plummet off of a massive tower and come out fine, along with multiple other things you deal with daily. Look, all you need to do is stand up for yourself. From what it looks like, they rarely give you a chance. Well, make them. If they are your friends, tell them how you feel. Besides, your a dragon man. That’s makes you tough right off the bat.”

That made Spike feel much better. His smile was almost as big as Pinkie’s. Daimon smiled back, and decided to give a little more piece of advise.

“Also dude, just don’t let people boss you around. You live with Twilight, your not her butler. I’m not saying she’s doing it on purpose, but you should just tell your friends how you feel. And remember, if they don’t listen, you can always stay here.”  Daimon said while pounding his fist over his heart. Spike smiled and returned the gesture. Daimon then put his fist down for a fist bump before speaking.

“Scale bro’s?” he asked with a smile. Spike was shocked, but smiled before bumping his smaller fist against Daimon’s giant one. 

“Scale bro’s.” he said and gave Daimon another hug, which Daimon returned fully. They didn’t know however that Ornstein, Zecora and Fluttershy were watching them and were glad they had that talk, Fluttershy though promised to apologize later.


~Flashback end~

Spike was ready and happy to fight alongside his friends.

Twilight and Rarity however, were not so happy. 

“Why would Spike do this, he’s just a baby. He can’t fight off an entire Timberwolf army!” she shouted as she started hyperventilating. Luckily Discord conjured a paper bag and gave it to her. Rarity had screamed something similar, but added Spikey-Wikey in it before fainting after her couch appeared. To the mane six’s (minus Fluttershy) surprise, everyone else was calm. Before anyone could start shouting, Zecora interrupted them.

“Spike is not some baby sparrow, for he is stronger than you all know.” That made them more confused, so Discord elaborated.

“She means he’s stronger than you think, so stop treating him like a wimp.” he said annoyed. Even he noticed how most of them treated him, he wasn’t stupid. The girls were still worried, so Celestia decided to ease their worries.

“Do not worry my little ponies, you saw how powerful Daimon and Ornstein are, especially when someone they care for gets injured. Spike is in good hands. And remember, he has fire too.” she said with a motherly smile that finally settled their nerves, at least mostly. They decided to just watch the battle and hope Spike would be okay. To get a better view, Discord teleported them near the edge of Ponyville. What they saw left them speechless.


~With Daimon and Ornstein~ 


 

The fight had already started. Daimon and Ornstein were punching, kicking, and blasting Timberwolves left and right. Daimon just roundhouse kicked seven into the air and set them all ablaze with Grand Ingle. Ornstein was fighting like how black widow would but with a spear. She locked her legs around a larger timberwolves neck, and bent her body backwards, using her weight to her advantage and throwing the large wolf at 5 smaller one’s, crushing them all in one hit. The then charged her spear and hurled a large bolt of lightning at 3 more wolves, hitting all of them with the shockwave and setting them ablaze. Spike, was actually doing well. He was surprised at his reflexes. He was rolling and dodging every swipe and dive that came his way. He was also using his fire. He just set his 10th Timberwolf ablaze. The wolves were backing off now, knowing that their mortal enemy, fire, was being thrown at them all over. They were shocked though when Spike covered his fist in green flames and punched a larger one in the face, setting it ablaze and killing it in a few seconds. Spike’s confidence was growing, but saw Ornstein fighting a few feet from him and decided to help out. He shot two fireballs at the group of timberwolves in front of him, making then scatter, and rushed over to Ornstein, who saw him coming and waved at him. She had a timberwolf pinned under her spear before slicing it’s head off and rushing to him.  

“Hey Spike! You doing well?” She asked as stabbed another Timberwolf and threw it away. Spike blasted his own wolf before speaking.

“I’m doing surprisingly good. I can’t believe I’m doing this well!” He said as he blasted another wolf. 

“Hey, like my brother said, your stronger than you think.” She said with a smile. Spike blushed but decided to put it off for later, especially since he almost got his head taken off. Spike smiled up at Ornstein before rushing at a smaller group of wolves. He may be more confident, but he’s not stupid. Luckily the vast majority of the timberwolves were focused on Daimon and Ornstein, so Spike didn’t have to be worried on being ganged up on. In fact, most of them backed off when he used his fire, for they knew they couldn’t pull themselves back together if they were burned to ash. 

With Daimon, he had just finished casting Bolide and was using his aerial attacks. He dive bombed a large group of timberwolves, before throwing a hard punch at another. None of the wolves were bigger than him so each of his punches would shatter them. (Also because he hits like a truck). He his Grand Ingle attack and set a small group of wolves on fire, watching them collapse and burn away. 

Back by the ponies, they were all shocked at the destruction and at how Spike was doing. While most of the wolves were focused on Daimon and Ornstein, Spike was fighting rather well compared to what they usually see of him. He hasn’t tripped once during the whole fight. 

‘Wow, they weren’t kidding. Spike is doing fine on his own.’ Twilight thought in amazement. The rest of the mane six had similar thoughts, except Fluttershy. She and Celestia were watching Daimon. Both were amazed at his speed for something so big. He was moving like he was as light as paper. They were also watching his muscles when he struck. Not for the reason you're all thinking, but because of how precise his strikes were and how he focused his strength into his hits. Not just the initial strike, but also when he pulled back. He never let his arms or legs fly randomly. They were precise and focused. Rainbow and Zecora were watching Ornstein, and how gracefully she moved, but also how brutal. She would backflip over one wolf as if she was doing a dance, then shoves her spear into its neck and throws it into a tree. They did laugh though when she sent several wolves flying with the butt slam. Even Spike had his own fighting style. He would dodge and strike. It was a repetitive but extremely effective for his size, and surprising speed. 

Rainbow and Pinkie had started cheering them on 5 min ago and were still going, even Applejack joined in. Twilight was still shocked but felt much better at seeing how good he was doing. At least he wouldn’t get hurt. Rarity had similar thoughts as well, but blushed when she saw Spike flaming punch another wolf. Pinkie shrieked though when one wolf lunged at her only to be caught in Daimon’s glowing left claw. He crushed the wolf as if it was a twig and flew back into the battle. Pinkie was still laying on the ground in a funny looking position with a mixture of amazement and fear on her face. 


~10 min later~


All the timberwolves were nothing but piles of wood with Daimon, Ornstein, and Spike standing in the middle. They were about to celebrate but then saw the pieces of wood around them start to move. They all piled up and formed into a massive timberwolf. Everyone was shocked until Spike and Twilight noticed the strange aura around the wood from before had blown out the flames. Applejack was scared stiff. The wolf she and Spike encountered was big alright, but this one was at least as big as the library. Daimon and Ornstein just smirked as Daimon took into the air with Spike on his head. Daimon put Spike in his hand and whispered something to him. Spike’s eyes widened in shock before giving a nod. Daimon placed him back on his head. 

“Hold on tight little dude!” he said as he then dive bombed the massive wooden wolf. He hit it’s back with both his fists, staggering it and took off to avoid it’s snapping jaws. Ornstein then threw a massive golden lighting bolt at it’s right paw. The TimberKing (What i’m calling it) let out a loud roar of rage and pain. As it was distracted, Daimon threw a powerful punch into it’s head, knocking it to the ground on it’s side. Daimon and Ornstein noticed it was much like a Chimera (Dragon’s Dogma wise). By that logic, strong hit’s to it’s face and side would knock it over (own experience). Ornstein then charged while it was defenseless. The TimberKing noticed and swung at her, which she rolled under and stabbed it’s side. She jumped back just in time to avoid it’s jaws. 

She charged again, but had her spear caught in its mouth. The TimberKing threw her into the air, but she landed gracefully a few feet away. The TimberKing tried to leap at her, but was struck in the back with a meteor. Ornstein looked up to see Daimon had casted Bolide again. She gave him a thumbs up before charging again. She jumped up and went for a downward thrust, but was sent flying by a hit from the wolf’s head. Daimon charged in again, but backed off sense he couldn’t get a hit in without trading. 

Spike, on Daimon’s head, fired his own shot, which hit the wolf’s right eye. It shrieked before it fired a large blast of sickly green magic, shocking everyone and hitting Daimon in the stomach. He flew back, but was able to regain flight before he hit the ground. He dodged another swipe by flying high in the air. 

He prepared use Grand Ingle before several bolts of lightning flew down from the air and struck the TimberKing all over. Daimon looked back to see his sister with a large sunlight spear in her hand. She hurled it into the air and 3 seconds later there was a thunder clap and at least 9 more sunlight spears rained down. Ornstein herself was shocked she could do that, but it made sense. It seems when Ornstein’s spear was permanently enchanted with lightning, it was also made into a miracle catalyst. She guessed at least. She was fine with it though, she wouldn’t want to   She assumed she could only cast lightning based miracles though so she tried another. Her left hand glowed a golden white and suddenly lightning starting striking all around the TimberKing directly from the sky, making it collapse from the pain. 



Daimon landed next to his sister and smiled.

“Nice.” he said with Spike nodding with an open mouth. Ornstein smiled under her helmet, but was a little tired. It seemed miracles here drained her stamina like spells in Dragon’s Dogma. She was glad for that however since the effects were wearing of fast, and because there aren’t any bonfires near. Daimon then whispered to Ornstein and she gasped, but nodded nevertheless. Daimon then flew into the air again on the side of the recovering Timberking and Ornstein took the other. They both respectively started firing many different kinds of fire or lightning attacks. The TimberKing took swipes at both of them, but they were too fast for him to land a hit. The massive wooden wolf fired green blasts again, but this time they dodged them easily, especially Ornstein due to her superior reflexes. She jumped over a lunge from the TimberKing and landed on it’s lower back. She charged up her spear and stabbed it near its tail. It thrashed around and swiped at her trying to shake her off while howling in pain from the lightning. She jumped off just as Daimon charged into its side, sending rolling a few feet away. Daimon shot more fire at it’s exposed neck and Ornstein fired another Sunlight Spear from her Spear at its neck. Daimon then grabbed Spike in his hand and gave him a reassuring nod. Spike nodded back and got ready. 

The TimberKing roared in rage and knocked Ornstein onto her back. Daimon then hurled Spike at it’s neck. Spike grabbed on and before the TimberKing could react, he fired a LARGE blast of green fire, effectively shattering the wolfs neck. The large wooden head crashed in front of Ornstein, who was able to move out of the way in time. Spike jumped off the giant Timberwolf as it collapsed, now permanently dead. Spike landed in Ornstein’s arms, who gave him a hug.

“Nice job Spike.” she said with a smile as she hugged him tighter. Spike blushed before repeatedly tapping her arm, telling her he couldn’t breath. Ornstein’s eyes widened before dropping him on the floor.

“Sorry.” she said with a sheepish look. Spike just smiled before replying. 

“No problem.” he said just as Daimon flew down. He walked over to Spike and held out his fist for a fist bump.

“Told you it would work.” he said as Spike returned the bump. They turned back to see the rest of the wolf crumble to pieces. Daimon effectively lit it aflame again and watched it burn away. All three then turned to see the shocked looks of the ponies along with the now gathered population of ponyville. Daimon, Ornstein, and Spike did the only thing that came to mind. 

“Tada.” they said with sheepish grins.  
> New Arrival
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

No POV

Not long after the citizens of Ponyville had questioned the trio, a very strange and frankly frightening sight took place just beyond the borders of the town. A gigantic, monstrous, ethereal black hound’s maw appeared in the sky, and out of it fell a strange figure, whom crashed onto the earth and grass below. The eeriest part, however, was the gushing waterfall of blood that followed from the maw, creating a near-lake sized layering of blood over the once pristine grass. Not long after, the maw gave a crooked, creepy smile, and disappeared. 

To say everyone was shocked and terrified was an understatement. “What the heck was that!” shouted Daimon as he was cradling a shivering Fluttershy. 

“How should any of us know! Your the weird creature experts!” Shouted Rainbow who was shivering as well. 

“Man, I haven’t seen anything that gory since I played Bayonetta and Bloodborne,” Ornstein said getting a nod from Daimon. 

“I feel like I’m gonna regret this, but shouldn’t we go and check it out?” he asked. This got him a small nod from everyone else. Daimon turned to his sister and gave a nod before starting off, with her following close behind. He then turned and saw everyone else following them.

“Oh no. You all cannot come with us. Especially since you’re all still mostly traumatized,” he said as Rainbow stepped up with a fake neutral face.

“We're not scared of a little blood,” she said sternly.

“There's a blood monster coming over,” Ornstein droned out. All the ponies present shrieked and jumped 7 feet in the air. 13 for Fluttershy and Pinkie. After a few seconds, they all soon figured out what happened when they saw nothing. They turned back to the towering duo who were now staring at them with their arms crossed. 

“Hm,” they both said, to which the rest of them just pouted adorably. 

“Don’t worry. Besides, do any of you really want to go out there?”  he asked, to which they shamefully and in some cases reluctantly shook their heads no. 

“But what about you guys? Won’t you need any help?” Twilight asked, getting another petting from Ornstein.

“I think we’ll be fine. Besides we’re more well equipped to deal with otherworldly things. Also, we need you all to be back here in case something comes back after we go over,” Ornstein pointed out, which made everyone else slowly nod their heads in understanding. 

“Okay, but…just be careful, alright?” Twilight urged.

(Add a reply here)

“Well, we gotta go. See you in a bit!” Daimon cheerfully said as he and his sister walked towards where that strange figure fell. 

It took a fair while to get to the area the figure fell, but once the siblings reached said area, they were understandably a little shaken up. After all, in truth they were only teens who had seen little of true bloodshed, and this was more blood than they’d seen in their lives.

“Sis, I’m gonna be honest. I’m a little scared at what we're gonna find over there. I mean, look at all that blood!” Daimon pointed out, gesturing to the blood pool which they were now only a few feet from.

“I know. I’m starting to feel a little dizzy,” Ornstein admitted as her walking became a little wobbly. Both continued on though, determined to make sure there were no threats. They made it to the blood, and now their vision was a little blurry. They trudged on still, and were thankful they didn’t allow their friends to come as well. They most certainly would have fainted just by looking at the pool of blood they were now trudging through. 

After a few more minutes they finally came upon a figure in the middle. Daimon slapped himself to help clear his vision, and Ornstein shook her head to clear hers. They looked down and to their shock found a rather young looking girl.

She was covered in blood, but her clothes were quite unique. She wore a heavy, golden-scalemail shirt under a tight, mahogany leather vest, which bore a dark, pinkish-red holster over it. On her wrists were rusted, bloodstained chains, and a lightly armored set of tassels rested over her waist. Bright yellow pants with red designs on the cuffs covered her legs in tandem with bright red bandages over her feet, which were also covered by two objects that made the two teens gasp: there were golden frames literally screwed into the flesh of her feet, just over the red bandages. The teens had a sinking feeling those bandages had been died red by blood before she even came here.

The second and third most surprising things, however, were her blood red angelic wings, which had faded black and purple feathers near the top edges of them. A red headband lay around her forehead, covered in archaic symbols, and above that headband was a set of demonic, nearly black horns. Her hair was messy, but they could tell even with the blood soaking into it it was black, and it still retained it’s ponytail. Her skin was pale, and she had her wings curled up around her instinctively, but she was quite obviously out cold.

Daimon and Ornstein were both shocked. They didn't expect a person to fall out of that thing, let alone a girl. 

“Wow. Just wow,” Daimon uttered as he stared at the girl. 

“Same here. Why do you think she came out of that?” Ornstein queried.

“Well, judging by my vast knowledge of the unknown, I have no freaking idea,” Daimon shot back wittily, which earned him a slap to the back of the head from his sister. 

Ornstein looked back down to the girl. “Well, what should we do with her? There's no way we’re just leaving her here,” She said sternly. 

“I agree, but how do you think the others will react if we bring her over? She is covered in blood,” Daimon pointed out, imagining the faces of some of the ponies when they bring a blood soaked girl back with them. He turned and assumed his sister was giving him the ‘are you serious’ look judging by the way her helmet was pointed at him. “What?” he asked, only to get slapped again. 

“Dude, compared to how you look, she looks like a cuddly chipmunk with wings,” she said matter of factly. Daimon facepalmed.

“Oh yeah, duh,” he said as he realized, to which his sister nodded before looking back at the passed out girl. “Well, I guess we better carry her back. I know for a fact they have a hospital here considering the injuries we gave the others when I went nuts,” he said as he knelt down and gently picked her up. 

“Oh I see. You want her to thank you when she wakes up don’t you?” Ornstein said with a smirk under her helmet that Daimon read like a book. 

“Shut up!” he shouted as he opened his wings and flew back over to Ponyville. Ornstein snickered as she dashed after him.







A few hours later saw the strange, angelic girl in the Ponyville General Hospital. According to the doctors, she wasn’t injured, but did seem to have a bit of magic deficiency, so they wanted her to stay overnight while they fixed the problem.

Daimon and Ornstein didn’t feel like leaving until they got answers, however, so they stayed to see if she’d wake up early. The Mane Six, had decided to stay over as well, once they arrived.

The true surprise, however, was when the Princesses arrived.

“What are you two doing here?” Daimon asked, voicing everyone’s question for them. 

“Well since we are the princesses of Equestria, we thought we should meet it’s newest inhabitant,” Celestia answered with a smile. 

“Or spend more time with your hunk,” Luna whispered with a snicker, which got her a hoof to the back of the head. 

“What was that?” Daimon asked, head tilted.

“Nothing, nothing important!” she quickly said, sweating bullets, which got her suspicious looks from everyone but her sister. 

Daimon stared at them for a time, then shrugged. “Well, besides that, it’s fine that you’re here, but you may be here for a while. She hasn’t shown any notion of awakening since we brought her here,” Daimon explained, to which the royal sisters just smiled. 

“Time isn’t an issue currently, we have that taken care of,” Luna said, remembering who they left in charge while they were gone. ‘I do hope Starlight is doing alright,’ she thought, frowning slightly before shaking it off. 

“Well alright then. I guess we can only wait until she wakes up, so does anyone got any snacks?” Ornstein asked hopefully. Suddenly a table full of assortments of snacks popped out of nowhere. Everyone also noticed the room was slightly bigger now, probably to accommodate the new snack table. They were all confused until Daimon and Fluttershy smirked at each other.

“Discord. Where are you?” he asked in a playful manner as the god of chaos, quite literally, poofed into the room. 

“What? I’m just trying to help. Besides, I wanted to meet the newest member of our little group too,” he said with a toothy smile. Everyone just smiled and shook their heads. Trying to figure out Discord was like trying to figure out Pinkie Pie. So they all decided to grab something to eat and wait.


~Couple hours later~


Everyone was still waiting for the newcomer to awaken. The Main Six, save for Fluttershy and Twilight had fallen asleep along with Spike and Discord. Luna had also fallen asleep and was making a rather large puddle of saliva under her muzzle. The only ones awake were Daimon, Ornstein, and Celestia, though they weren't far behind. 

Suddenly a doctor pony burst out of the door. “She’s waking up.” Celestia stood up and used her magic to wake everyone up by lifting them 2 feet in the air and then dropping them. 

“Hey! What gives?” Spike asked as he picked himself up. Many of the others voiced similar complaints, save Fluttershy.

“She’s waking up! That’s what,” Ornstein explained. They blinked the sleep from their eyes and everyone got up and went for the door.

When they arrived in her room, they found her poking the IV bag, watching it jostle when she did so. She then heard the others, turned to them, and squealed, her hands going to her cheeks. “Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! A Giant and a Wrath Demon!?” Her purple eyes sparkled. “Best. Day. EVER!” She gave them a big grin, bouncing in the bed. “Can we fight? Can we? Can we can we?”

“Um, yeah sure. But you did just wake up, shouldn’t you rest a little first?” Daimon asked, worried if she was really up to the challenge.  

“Pfft,” she waved it off. “I’m fine! Watch!” the girl started to climb out of the hospital bed, only to yelp and fall on her face. “...Okay, maybe not so much…”

“Yeah, you stay in bed. We will fight later if you want though. Speaking of which, why do you?” Daimon questioned. 

“Why?” The angel asked, pushing herself up into a sitting position. She gave him a look that screamed, ‘are you nuts?’ “Fighting is awesome! Why would I not want to?” She gestured to Daimon and his sister. “And you two are part of the most skilled warfaring races in Lleiya! No way I’m passing this chance up!”

“Lleiya? Where is that? What is that?” Ornstein asked with a tilted head. Before the angel could answer, a pink blur dashed past everyone and into her face.

“HIIMPINKIEPIEWHATSYOURNAMEDOYOULIKEPARTIESWHATCAKEDOYOULI-” Pinkie’s rant was cut off as Daimon gently grabbed her by the muzzle, effectively silencing her, and pulled her away from the surprisingly unfazed angel. 

“Pinkie, you can’t keep doing that to new people. Even if they are unfazed by it,” Daimon scolded, making the pink pony pout before quite literally springing back up with a smile. 

“Party?” The girl tilted her head cutely before she gained a massive grin. “I love parties! Will there be dancing? Oooh, oooh oooh! And biscuits?!” She started to drool after mentioning biscuits.

“I take it you like biscuits?” Twilight asked with a raised brow. 

“Do I ever!” The angel chirped. Her blood red wings flapped in excitement. “The crunch when you bite into them, the freedom of choice for filling, the fact that they’re always a short but sweet treat that makes you want more and more?” She drooled openly. “I could eat a thousand and still want more!”

Everyone stared at the angel after her almost Pinkie-Pie-sized rant until Daimon whispered something in his sisters ear.

“I like this girl,” he said, getting a playful elbow in response. 

“Well, now that we have that done with, mind telling us your name?” Celestia asked politely. 

“Oh!” the girl wiped her drool away hurriedly, then beamed up at them all as she put a hand to her chest. “I’m Achelle Adelawin, one of the last Blood Angels of Lleiya,” she smiled. “How do you do?”

Everyone present smiled at her politeness before introducing themselves.

“Greetings, I am Princess Celestia. I rule this land along with my little sister,” Celestia said, gesturing to said sister with an alabaster wing.

“I am Princess Luna, princess of the night. It is nice to meet you,” Luna said with a warm smile.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle. I can’t wait to learn about your world later!” Twilight exclaimed with a slightly unnerving smile before being pushed away by Rainbow Dash.

“Ignore the egghead. Sup, I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in all of Equestria,” she said with a cocky smirk before being slapped by Rarity. Rainbow rubbed her face and shot the white unicorn a stink-eye.

“Good day darling. My name is Rarity. Later, we must talk about how to repair your clothing dear,” Rarity mused while eyeing Achelle’s clothes on the table with a critical eye.

“Howdy, I’m Applejack. It’s nice to meet you as well,” the farm pony said with a cheerful smile, tipping her hat to the angel. Pinkie had already introduced herself so she surprisingly just sat back with an almost face splitting smile.

“Hello, my name is Fluttershy,” the buttery yellow pegasus said shyly, yet surprisingly louder than usual, which shocked everyone except Daimon, Ornstein, Spike, and Discord. Before anyone could comment however, Discord introduced himself. The draconequus literally poofed his head in Achelle’s face, which seemed to excite her rather than shock her, and started talking.

“Well hello to you. I am Discord, God of chaos, lord of mischief, king of pranksters, etc,” he rolled his paw around airily, then smirked at her. 

“Oh. My. Gods,” Achelle squealed, wings fluttering as she grabbed the draconequus’ face. “We are so having a fight!” She let go of him, hugging herself in glee. “Oooh, it’s like it’s my birthday! There are so many rare fighters here!” She blinked, then looked back to Discord. “Wait, God of Chaos?” 

The draconequus gave a puzzled look before answering. “Yes, I am the god of chaos. Why do you ask?”

Achelle put a hand to her chin, making an adorable thinking pose. “That can’t be right… Only God of Chaos around is Triyte, and he doesn’t like sharing…” Her purple eyes widened, and she slowly looked back up at Discord, then to the others. “Oh. Oooooooh. I’m not on Lleiya, am I?”

“I’m sorry to say this, but nope,” Daimon said with a head shake, the others making similar gestures after Discord was pulled out of her face by the tail by Daimon.  

Achelle looked to the floor for a long span of time. Long enough that the group all started to worry, but she eventually looked up. “...I…I need some time. Alone. Is that okay?”

“Of course, take all the time you need. I get that being in a new world can be strange and unnerving, believe me I know, but don’t worry. Just take some time to get used to it, well leave you alone for now,” Ornstein said as she started shooing everyone out. Daimon stuck behind a few seconds to voice his piece.

“We’ll be here if you need anything. And trust me on this, we know what if feels like ending up in a new world. Just let me say this, at least you got to keep your body,” he said as he walked out.

Silence reigned in the room as Achelle sat on the floor beside her bed. She looked to the various equipment around it, then to the window outside. She grit her teeth as she tried to bite back her emotions.

It didn’t work, and she buried her face in her hands as she cried. Her hands couldn’t stop the flow of tears, sadly, and soon blood began to seep through the cracks of her hands as she weeped. 





Everyone had gone to do their own thing after they left Achelle’s room. The princesses went back to Canterlot, the mane six went off to do their own activities, and Daimon and Ornstein spent time with Spike and Discord. Celestia had told Twilight to tell her when Achelle was ready to talk, and the lavender mare agreed quickly. Speaking of which, Daimon and Ornstein had also told them all to leave her alone until she was ready to speak. Ornstein had even told Luna to not try and enter her dreams and to respect the angel’s privacy. 

Although they were all quite worried, everyone eventually decided to trust the 2 giants since none of them could really relate to being trapped in another world. 

Right now, Ornstein was playing with Spike while Daimon and Discord were just chatting. 

“So, what do you think her deal was?” asked the draconequus, who was sipping what seemed to be coffee from a mug that said ‘Best Chaos God Pls Nerf.’ Daimon put a claw to his chin for a minute, thinking over his response before replying. 

“I don’t know, but I hope she’s alright. Considering how she acted before she figured out where she was, she’s not a bad person. Besides, I know realising you can’t go home is tough. Only reason I got over it was because of my new body and finding my sister. She doesn’t have that,” he explained, to which Discord nodded politely, eliciting a raised brow the giant demon. “How are you so calm about this?”

“Because, even I know when not to joke around. Oh yes, I fool around when danger is near, but this is possibly emotional trauma. Even I’m not going to pick on someone who’s going through something like that,” Discord explained, taking a sip of his coffee, which proceeded to cough itself, as if it were a living thing that was sick. Daimon smiled at the draconequus’ answer, but frowned at what he said next. “Besides, I have something else to make fun of,” Discord said with a smirk.

“What would that be?” Daimon asked with narrowed eyes. Discord had to hold in his laughter before he started.

“Celestia and Daimon, sitting on a mountain, k-i-s-s-i-n-” his song was cut off as he was tackled to the ground with large hands around his throat. 

“YOU'RE SO DEAD!” Daimon screamed as he proceeded to beat the stuffing out of the joking Draconequus, with Spike and Ornstein laughing the whole time since they knew Discord would be fine. Probably would feel sore for a few months, but fine.

This is a message to everyone who likes this story. I am working on another story right now, but I will, very soon, go back and redo this story. For right now, this one is basically cancelled, but it will be back new and improved soon. All I ask is for your forgiveness and further patience. Ever since the last chapter, which I know was a while ago, i've been having a lot of stuff going on. I am currently dealing with college stuff, so I will get started on the remake to this story very soon. As a heads up, it will be generally the same, but have major changes to the last few chapters of it's previous state. Once again, thank you all for your support, and I will make sure to deliver on my promise soon.
