Chapters 9:00 p.m December 1, 2004
"Alright honey. Time for bed." his mom called from kitchen.
"Heh," Cody laughed.
"What is it sweetie?" his mom asked as she heard his laugh.
She turned around, seeing that he had duct tape and a butcher knife in his hands, which were blood-stained.
"Nothing." his head jerked to the side, he spoke in a much more demonic voice, "NO! Savior."
His mom looked puzzled and frightened.
Cody ran towards his mom and stabbed her in the neck. He then rapped her neck in duct tape.
He then cut into her cheek.
She felt light-headed and then passed-out.
Cody pressed his hand in the blood and wrote on the wall "Ego sum, salutari" It means "I am the Savoir" in Latin.
_________________________________________________________
He woke up on a bed along side a alley-way.
Cody had been having these terrible dreams for sometime now...Exactly ever since he was born.
He had very dark ash-black bags under his eyes.
Cody looked at the alley-way exit as he took a puff of his blunt he had rolled the previous night.
As he exhaled he said, in Latin, "Back to the grind."
He had been speaking in this native tongue ever since he had his alter ego.
He though that it must of been a Latin creature. Cody ignored it many times. And ignored the thoughts that it gave him.
Cody was now 15 and he had many responsibilities.
He had a sister but she was found dead a couple of days ago.
He woke up that night to find his hands blood-soaked.
Cody walked out of the alley looking at both sides of the abandoned road. The road wasn't active anyway but he did it because it made him feel more human.
He walked along the side walk noticing all the sick homeless people.
Then a mysterious hand jetted out and grabbed his leg.
"Hey bum. Get your filthy hand of me." he scorned.
"Oh sorry." he talked as if he was trying to hide his real voice.
And Cody noticed that he had a British accent in his voice.
The man also didn't sit like any normal person.
Cody thought nothing of it and headed off in the direction of a abandoned store.
Where he grew his Pot.
"Alright my babies. Daddy is back." he shouted amongst the small field of weed.
But he noticed a couple of the plants were snipped.
It was fresh. He also noticed a piece of cloth on the ground. It smelled of Sulfer and Crack.
"Ha Ha. If there is anybody in here. You will pay for stealing."
He saw a shadow scatter over to the corner of a dark room.
"I-I don't know what went wrong." it said from the shadows.
Cody thought it was mocking him.
"Alright asshole." He ran towards the voice.
He felt to legs kick him in the face, simultaneously.
"Nice hit." he wiped his hand on his lip, which was bleeding, "Not good enough."
Cody jumped towards the object again this time grabbing it. And pulling it out of the shadows.
"Now I gotch-" He looked at what he had just caught. A animal that had eyes darting off in separate directions. And it sat like a horse would (If it ever did).
"What the fuuuck?-" Cody was hit in the back of the head with a beer bottle.
He woke up to see to pony-like creatures standing in front of him. Looking at a portal that amazed Cody.
He noticed one of them looked like the bum he saw grab his leg.
"Hey. You." he shouted to the figure.
His head was slammed into the pavement of the store.
"Don't talk." one of them said, as the other jumped through the portal.
Cody was knocked out once again.
__________________________
He woke up at night. Noticing a knot on his head. Resembling the multiple bottles to his head.
"Ow." he said to himself.
"This wouldn't of happened if you would haven't of been stupid." a voice said inside his head.
"Brandon shut up." Cody said to the voice.
Brandon was his "Other" side.
Brandon was the reason that Cody could speak in Latin.
Cody knew that Brandon was an ancient Latin demon.
Cody had thought Brandon was responsible for all the murders he had committed.
Cody suddenly looked up at the moon and noticed it was a crescent.
His head jerked to the side. His eyes filling with red.
"Ha Ha," he laughed, "Ego sum salutari."
He said once again in Latin.
______________________________________
He looked over to the store that he had been assaulted in.
"Looks like someone needs a lesson." Brandon spoke in Pig Latin.
Brandon walked into the store and saw a figure walking in the hallway near him.
He smiled, he cleared his throat loudly.
The figure turned around and walked towards him.
Brandon then slid a shard of glass out of his sleeve.
Ever since the town he lived in was pretty much deserted. He had to resort to almost caveman-like ways to kill.
The figure got closer.
Brandon jumped out and got behind it. He grabbed the figure by the neck.
He pressed the glass against its neck.
"Looks like it is to late." he said as he drug the jagged glass across its neck.
He looked down at his victim.
Noticing it looked like a "she".
"Stupid bitch." he leaned down to the body, seeing that it wasn't human but rather a pony.
"Oh my Celestia!" another figure ran into the room, shocked.
"Hey stop!" Brandon yelled towards it.
It ran into a office. Brandon followed.
He saw it jump into a portal, he followed it into the swirling vortex.
____________________________________________________
Cody woke up in a smoky atmosphere.
"What the fuck?" he looked up, coughing.
He saw a dark figure in the distance, "HEY!"
It ran off.
Cody got up and dusted himself off.
He noticed many holes in the ground, signifying that there had been bombs going off here.
"I have to get back to my home. I have already ruined on world I don't want to ruin this one."
He looked up at the sky, hoping to see the sun or the moon. But all he saw was a gray smog blocking out any type of light to pass through it.
He walked over to a abandoned house.
He fell down on the floor instantaneously. He felt weak.
This always happened before he....Turned.
"Hello any body home." Brandon said getting up.
He busted down many doors downstairs, when he noticed and upstair bedroom. That seemed locked.
"Mmm...Perfect." The demon said to himself.
Brandon walked up to the door. He kicked it with great force but it didn't budge.
He tried again, no success.
He peeped through the peep-hole that was busted out.
"Mmm... Guests." he said noticed movement in the room.
"GO AWAY!" a voice said in the room.
"Oh don't worry I am here to help." Brandon lied, rolling his eyes.
The door, opening to a pony.
Brandon kicked it aside.
"Hey get off of her!" Another pony shouted beside him.
Brandon looked across the room noticing some rope hanging from a mantle.
He tied both of the ponies up. He tied them to each of the beds in the room.
"We are gonna have some fun." Brandon said rubbing his hands together. Pulling out a piece of glass out of his pocket.
"Stop please." Bon-Bon pleaded to Brandon. "Don't harm me or Lyra. Please."
"Ha Ha. You really think that I am going to give you mercy." Brandon laughed, as he put the piece of glass against the Mint-Green pony's cheek.
"Which one shall I take first?' He wondered.
"Please sir, don't." Lyra pleaded to him.
Brandon cut her cheek.
"Just a battle scar. Ha Ha." Brandon laughed once more.
Bon-Bon shook her head vigorously, "No,No. Please."
"ENOUGHT PLEADING!" Brandon yelled at her.
"Lyra don't be afraid." Bon-Bon tried to comfort her friend.
"Aw. Love. Its just a fucking illusion." Brandon spat, looking in Lyra's eyes with his demonically.
"Don't-"
Brandon slapped Lyra before she could finish.
"I swear. If I here one more plead for your lives I will- Oh wait I am going to do that anyway."
Brandon went over to Bon-Bon and put the shard of glass against her neck.
"Do you want to watch you lover die...A most disturbing death?" Brandon asked.
Bon-Bon shook her head.
"Wrong answer."
Brandon drug the glass across her neck. Spilling blood onto him and the floor.
"BON-BON! You sick bastard." Lyra yelled towards Brandon.
"I love it when they squirm." he began, "Ego sum salutary."
He stabbed the glass into her neck repeatedly.
Blood dripped down to the floor. Covering the demon's hands in a mixture of blood.
He walked downstairs still covered in his victim's blood. When his head pounded with nightmares and memories of his past.
"Max. No, No. Get out of my head!" He yelled up to the ceiling as his eyes became black.
His eyes closed slowly as he passed out on the bottom of the stairs.
Black blood leaked from his mouth, as his eyes returned back to a human.
Smoke flooded the room entering from the front door.
A figure busted open the door.
Picked up Cody and carried him to a location.
"Hey...." Cody faded in and out of consciousness, "Who...."
He passed out again.
_________________________
He felt himself hit a floor with a lot of force which woke him up.
"Hey where am I?" he asked as he opened his eyes realizing he was in the presence of a type of creature that he had killed earlier.
"Shut up mortal. You Highness is here."
Cody was knocked out again.
"We order you to a-wake." a strong voice commanded to Cody.
"Huh...." his eyes opened to a creature in a hood. The hood covered in constellations and Lunar based themes.
"We said 'we order you to a-waken'," it said once again.
Cody felt his arms get lifted up suddenly.
He was hit in the back of the head and splashed with cold water.
His eyes shot opened, "Hey. Hey. I am awake."
He looked around the room seeing many guard-like creatures guarding this one figure.
"We have brought you here for one reason. For a little family reunion." the figure spoke once more.
"Hey I don't know you." Cody responded, confused.
"You might not but- Ego sum salutary." it said with much power.
"Wait how did you-" he felt himself lose control, "Hello Mother." Brandon spoke up, as he bowed.
"Yes hello my prince."
"How have you been Nightmare."
"Heh, heh," it laughed, "I have been better."
Cody gained control once more. "Tell me what is going on? And how does Brandon know you?"
"Well you see. I am your demon's mother. I gave birth to your dark side. Then I sent you to the human world because he was going to be taken away from me. And now here you are."
She looked at him with dark-blue eyes.
Cody was memorized by the beauty of this creature.
His head jerked to the side, Brandon was now speaking.
"My mother. It had been to long." as he looked up at her with is red eyes.
"So how many have you killed." another voice said from behind Brandon.
"Who-" he looked behind him. And recognized the figure that attacked him back in his dimension.
Brandon started to charge at the figure.
Nightmare stopped him.
"Brandon my son. This is Dr. Whooves. We believe that you two have met before?"
Dr.Whooves spoke up instantly, "He killed my damn assistant, Derpy."
"Oh sorry." Brandon said sarcastically.
Nightmare Moon spoke up, "Listen We need you two to work together to kill my sister. Which had destroyed this dimension with her Sun."
Brandon closed his eyes and took a couple deep breaths. Looked over to Nightmare and bowed.
"Yes mother. My humblest apologies."
"We forgive you. Now get up we have work to do," Nightmare looked at Dr. Whooves and her demon son.
Cody woke up in a dark room with constellations on the ceiling.
He felt his head pounding.
He smelled that same mixture of Sulfer and Crack that he did in his pot house.
"Hey wake up." a voice said beside.
"Huh." Cody looked over to his side seeing a light-brown pony with a hourglass cutie mark.
"I said wake up, bum." the Dr. chuckled.
"Hey that's my line."
Cody got up and rubbed the dirt and dried blood from his eyes.
"Your Highness wants you." a guard spoke up in the doorway.
Dr. Whooves and Cody walked out, Cody looked at the halls made up of blue jewels and the ceiling with a crescent shining bright.
He thought it was the actual moon but it stayed stationary.
"Listen Whooves." Cody spoke up, the Dr. turned towards him, "Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot or rather hoof."
"Don't worry about it. I should be apologizing to you. For hitting a direct descendant of the Queen."
Cody smiled as he chuckled it himself, "Yeah, nice hit though."
"Thanks," Whooves responded as they reached the doorway that lead into the throne room.
Nightmare greeted them instantly, "Why hello Dr. and son."
"Greetings my Queen." Cody greeted as he bowed.
"yes,greetings," Dr.Whooves said bowing with him.
Nightmare Moon walked ahead of them. She walked out onto a balcony. Where Cody followed her. Dr.Whooves stood behind them.
"Listen son..." Nightmare began, "I am sorry for cursing you with that demon. I should of killed it when I had the chance."
"No,No mother. It is a part of me now... In fact I can't live with out it."
Nightmare looked at Cody with tear-filled eyes. She quickly wiped the accumulating tears away.
She looked off into the distance that overlooked the land below.
"You see son...I wanted you to rule by my side. But my dear sister wouldn't allow the demon to live. I had to banish you to the human world so maybe one day I might see my dear prince once again. And now I have."
"Yes. I will do as you command." Cody's eyes became red, as he turned into his demon.
"Now Whooves." Nightmare commanded, the Dr.'s ears perked up, "Get the portal ready."
Whooves nodded and trotted off leaving Brandon and Nightmare alone.
"Now who is your dear sister, Mother?" Brandon asked as the two went back to the balcony.
"Well her name is Princess Celestia. She always got the most attention from mother and father." Nightmare began.
"Well now she will pay for destroying this land. From what you told me, anyway." Brandon interrupted.
"Yes," she agreed as she leaned against the demon.
"I will not let you fail mother." Brandon started to cry, but the heat around his eyes boiled the tears, making them into fog.
"Yes, We need you to do something for us."
"Anything." Brandon bowed.
"Kill the one known as 'Twilight Sparkle'." Nightmare looked off into the distance, "She will be the end of us."
"Yes as you command."
Brandon walked out of the double golden doors of the throne room.
Smiling mischievous...He now could kill for a reason and a cause.
"Twi, you will soon meet- Ego sum salutary,"
He spoke out in Latin as he exited the castle.
Brandon walked a couple hours until he got to a run-down library.
He went inside to get some rest before he killed his target. When he opened the door he saw a skeleton of a creature, but not of pony origin but rather dragon origin.
"Well I would expect dragons to be bigger." Brandon said as he poke the skeleton.
He heard some crashing towards the back of the library. He prepared his shard of glass.
"Hey anyone in here?" he spoke up.
"Get out!" a voice said. It sounded scratchy as if it hadn't had a drink of water for years.
Brandon walked towards the voice. He came to a door.
He carefully opened it, and he hid behind the door. As he heard bones breaking and flesh tearing.
He busted through the door, seeing a dark-purple creature sitting down on the wooden floor feasting on a type of animal that Brandon couldn't completely identify.
The creature looked like a pony but it had been starved, the teeth jetted up from the lower lip. Brandon could tell it had and under-bite. And he looked closer and saw its hooves were basically just skin on bone. There was no muscle just skin.
It put down the leg it was chewing on and walked towards the demon with a hunch in its back.
"Hey I order you to stop, creature." Brandon commanded but it continued to drag itself over to him.
It jumped towards him, time froze and for a second he saw what it was before it had turned into this hideous creature.
A beautiful unicorn. Brandon could see into its life. Friends, family. Everything that Brandon wish he had.
He saw it talk to a bigger, broader pony with wings and a horn.
His head throbbed as he saw his mom, she didn't look like she did now, fearless and brave.
She looked nimble and shy.
This thing knew his mother and her sister.
Brandon came to the conclusion that the ponies in the memories were, Princess Celestia (His sworn enemy), Princess Luna (His mother), and Twilight.
Brandon quickly realized that this "thing" was his target.
He quickly flashed back to reality. It continued to charge to him.
Brandon pushed the glass into its neck multiple times.
With each thrust he saw memories from this pony's life.
The creature stopped moving as Brandon slowly got off it.
"Looks like it had its own demons." Brandon said as he exited the room.
His head throbbed once again.
He remembered the thoughts that went through him as he killed Twilight.
His hands became enveloped in a dark aura.
"What-" His head continued to throb. He stumbled to the ground.
His eyes became a midnight-blue as he heard a voice of his mother.
"Listen my son...Use the power of the night. I give you this dark magic for your use."
His pupils were black while the rest of his eyes continued to be the midnight-blue.
"Yes my queen." he said as he got up.
He moved fingers, the dark magic followed as his dark aura glowed around his body.
His shot a spiral of the dark magic at a tree in the distance.
It began to die and then fade to ash.
Brandon looked at his new found power in awe.
He began to walk over to a house in the distance to rest.
Brandon walked into the house seeing the walls blood-stained.
He shrugged his shoulders as he yawned.
He found a bed on the floor and began to give into sleep.
"Good night, Mother."
He heard a voice in his head respond, he knew it was his mom's.
"Good night, Sweet Prince."
He fell asleep.
Brandon walked out of the house he had slept in.
And began to walk, North.
He felt the crystal glow while he was walking that direction. But every time he would walk in a different direction, it stopped glowing.
Brandon decided to follow the glow of the Night-Crystal.
"I must avenge mother." he said as his Midnight-Blue aura crackled around his body, "And this time for good."
Brandon suddenly stumbled upon a pink pony. With flat hair and a flat tail, with three balloons for a cutie mark.
It sighed as Brandon examined it.
He let some of his aura flow over its body. Memories from its past came flooding in Brandon's mind.
A pink excited pony. Rushing to a door...One pony comes in...
"Hey Rainbow your here." the pink pony said.
"Yeah so what did ya need." a rainbow maned Pegasus said as she entered the shop...
Brandon then saw a dark room...With the Pegasus tied up.
"Pinkie what are you doing." the Pegasus yelled.
"We're gonna have some fun, making cupcakes." the pink pony responded...
Brandon could no longer see the memories as he came back to reality.
He saw the pony get up and stare at him, scared.
"Hey, wh-who are you?" it asked.
"I am Brandon...I was maybe thinking you could help me look for something." he smiled deviously.
"Wh-what?"
"Well for starters what is your name?" Brandon asked, politely.
"Pink-Pinkiemena." she responded.
"Well I was hoping you could help me find 'Princess Celestia's castle'?"
Brandon wanted to just kill her now for getting in his way, but she could help him with his quest.
"Yeah that bitch's castle is right over there." Pinkiemena responded, pointing a hoof, North.
"Oh I see. Do you not like her as well?" Brandon asked sitting up.
"Of course I do...She ruined my plans." she put a hoof over her mouth as she ran off from Brandon.
"Uh, that was weird." Brandon shook his head and started to walk in the direction Pinkiemena told him to.
The pink pony stopped, as she reached into the bushes and pulled out a butcher knife.
She turned towards Brandon and raised the knife above his head.
Brandon quickly lashed around and grabbed her by the neck. Picking up the butcher knife that Pinkiemena had dropped.
"Nu-Uh-Uh. That was to easy." Brandon pinned her up against a tree, "Now you either help me, or prepare to get real friendly with some glass in your throat."
She struggled but Brandon's grip was to strong for her to get out of. So she stopped and accepted defeat.
"Who do you work for?' she asked as she looked at Brandon.
"Nightmare Moon. You know her?" Brandon raised an eyebrow as he let up on his grip, some.
"Yeah, looks like we are for the same cause, huh?" she asked.
"I doubt it." Brandon tossed her to the ground.
Pinkemena coughed as she rose up.
"So friend or foe?' she asked as she put out a hoof.
Brandon rolled his eyes. As he shook her hoof, and handed her back the butcher knife. "Friend."
Cody entered a 'dream state' as he dreamed of every memory he had taken from all of his victims.
He was on a public road. Cars driving by.
He looked around for a building until he saw his house.
Cody was confused why his house would be in another person's memories.
He entered the house seeing a family, him, his father, mother, and someone he recognized as his brother.
"Hey, can you hear me?" Cody asked the family.
No response.
He saw himself when he was 13.
He walked into a room that he knew was his.
"Well look like this is long gone."
He fell to his knees as he cried.
A figure ran through leaving a mist behind it.
"Max?" he asked himself.
Cody saw his brother grab a piece of duct-tape and leave the room.
He followed Max to the kitchen.
Cody's younger self was in the kitchen, holding butcher knife behind his back.
It walked towards his mother.
"Cody don't." he said to his younger self, but it didn't help.
Cody closed his eyes as he realized this was the night he killed his mother or rather Brandon did.
Then he saw Max come in and hand Brandon the duct tape to him.
Brandon duct taped Max to the kitchen table and left.
______________________________
Cody woke up, vanishing from his dream.
He looked around the room seeing the door wide open.
Then he heard someone in the house.
He grabbed a knife that was on the floor of the kitchen.
And walked to a room that he heard the commotion.
He looked in the room, he saw Dr.Whooves walking back and forth along the room, looking for something.
"Hey, Whooves. What are you doing here?"
The Dr. saw him and trotted towards Cody.
"Its Nightmare." the Dr. began, "She is ill."
"What happened?" Cody asked, worried.
"Well. Its her sister. Nightmare can't take much of the sun anymore." Whooves suddenly put his hooves on Cody's shoulders, "Your the only one who can bring forth the night."
Cody's eyes widened. "So your saying-"
The Dr. interrupted, "Yes, you are the Prince of Night."
Whooves handed him and blackish crystal, inscribed with constellations, "This will help you with your future quest."
Dr.Whooves walked out.
Cody looked at the object that Whooves had just given him. When his eyes became a dark-blue...He was turning again...And this time for good....
