1: Nightmares of years gone by

Blood. That's what she was smelling. The iron smell of freshly spilt blood that filled the throne room she stood in. The throne room where she and the rest of the Royal Family ruled. It was this exact scene of the throne room, however, that held so many dark memories for Chrysalis.

The High Queen of Changelings scanned the room. A pile of black, twisted armour gave off the acrid smell of sulfuric acid that she used to brutally murder an entire army. On the foot of the throne itself laid a blue figure she knew all to well to be her wife, laying in a pool of her blood.

Finally, it was Blueblood. The stallion that brooded so much hate and remorse in this memory that she hoped was long forgotten. The stallion's white coat was stained with his blood, a hole in his abdomen from where his entrails hung. He was still alive however, living off a cruel spell.

She couldn't see it, but she could feel the creature that did all this. She could feel her, her insanity and rage cascading around in the room in a thirst to destroy, corrupt, and kill. She could feel her satanic demon.

"And I am you." Chrysalis turned to find the speaker of the demonic voice. Before her stood the demon itself. Standing a full head taller than Celestia. Her eyes and mane were entwined with blood red color, giving a dangerous look as those eyes of rage and insanity looked down at her with a wicked smile.

"And you can't deny it."

~~~~~

"NO!" Chrysalis shot up I'm her bed, panting heavily as she awoken from the all too real nightmare. She scanned her surroundings to find herself in her bedroom. There was a shift in the bed before a pair of hooves wrapped themselves around her.

"Nightmare?" asked Trixie, the azure alicorn Princess of Lunamancy.

"Yes." replied Chrysalis, leaning into her and laying her head onto the alicorn's.

"What was it?" She asked.

"That fucking satanic demon." said Chrysalis, tears starting to well up I'm her eyes. "It's been twenty-four years, Trix. Why am I dreaming of her now? Why now when my life is finally perfect?" asked the High Queen. Trixie sighed and nuzzled into her wife.

"I don't know. There is nothing we can do except talk to mother about it." she said, humming slightly.

"Mom, Mother, are you alright?" They turned to find a young pink alicorn standing inside the doorway, her dark blue mane appearing black in the dark night. Nympha Lulamoon was the twenty-three year old pony/changeling daughter of the couple. She had Chrysalis' horn, fangs, shapeshifting, and ability to feed off emotion. However, Nympha could choose to feed from either food or any emotion. She was the only changeling with this option.

"It's okay, honey, I just had a nightmare." said Chrysalis, opening a foreleg to allow the hybrid access. Nympha walked up and wrapped her hooves around her mother.

"What was it?" she asked, her purple eyes, from her mother no doubt, wide from lack of sleep and concern. Chrysalis chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Just an evil pony that I had to fight so long ago." said Chrysalis, slightly proud of her cover up.

"Are they dead?" Nympha instantly sensed the sadness from her mother. She didn't know if this meant that she regretted this pony or if this pony was still alive.

"Why don't we just go back to bed? You have to join me when I hold the High Court for all of the changeling Queens tomorrow." said Chrysalis, putting on a fake smile. Nympha groaned.

"Do I have to sit through politics? They are always boring and the only interesting ones are Queen Swarm and Pupa." Chrysalis giggled at this. Swarm was the pony who took the throne of her old hive when she was banished and also worked with Chrysalis' younger sister, Queen Pupa, to place her as High Queen to keep a full government on the changelings as they melded into the pony kingdom.

"Well, you are going to get the title of High Queen one day when your mothers pass on, so you might as well be prepared." said Chrysalis, bopping the mare on the nose. Nympha scrunched up her face.

"Mom, we are alicorns. We don't die." said Nympha, shaking her head,

"Everypony dies someday, sweetie." said Trixie.

"Even alicorns." agreed Chrysalis. "Now, get to bed. We have a very important day tomorrow and I need to have to have a chat with your grandmother."

~~~~~

"This is just getting really stressful, mom." said Chrysalis, rubbing her temples. Across from her sat Princess Luna, Goddess of the Night. She sipped her tea as she tried to figure out the situation.

"Well, you said it felt more real than anything, am I correct in saying this?" asked Luna, setting down her cup and leaning forward.

"It feels exactly like it was the day it happened." said Chrysalis, shaking her head. Luna hummed softly as she thought to herself.

"Well, it could just be a memory like dream, explaining the realness of it all. There is also the idea of this actually being some sort of way to tell of the future by using an old memory that is relevant to what it wants to show." said Luna, tapping a hoof on her chin.

"What would it mean, though? I have her under lock and key. We all do." asked Chrysalis, mildly confused.

"That doesn't mean they can't escape. They aren't stupid, Chrysalis. They use our immortality to live forever in exchange for short periods of release. However, if they try hard enough they can break free of us and live for a few years and cause who knows how much damage to the world.

"Demons are deadly, dangerous, and cunning. You should know this after using one of the most powerful demons we have ever seen." said Luna. Chrysalis sighed and shook her head.

"Don't remind me. The energy that coursed through it was immense. Hell, I wondered if it was nothing but pure raw magic, but that would have torn me apart." said Chrysalis. Luna nodded.

"We have to be careful. Each of us is carrying a time bomb big enough to destroy Equestria and then some. We can't let our guard down long enough to let that happen." said Luna, standing. "Now, I have documents to look over and you have a monarch meeting right about now."

"Getting to listen to other Queens bitch about hive conditions. It's scary how alike our governments are." said Chrysalis with a shake of her head. She turned around and walked out of the room, it was time for a long, painful meeting.

~~~~~

"Our hive is running low on supplies due to train raids from the AC. The pride hive cannot survive too long without our supply of water." said Queen Pincer, Queen of the Pride hive. Hives were now named after the emotion they fed on.

"We need to act. The AC are crippling supply trains to multiple hives. There is already a high pupa death count in hives across the nation because they aren't getting the correct care and we can't escort them into Equestria." said Queen Cocoon, Queen of the Passion hive.

"We can't exactly do much against them. That will start a war and half of us are married to nobility. This will only cause further complications." said Queen Pupa, Queen of the Sympathy hive. These changelings worked in orphanages, hospitals, and terminal wards where sympathy ran deep in the nurses and visitors. Chrysalis remembered how her younger sister turned into an injured bird and fed off the sympathy of a small filly.

"Ladies, let us calm, please. I've dealt with antigovernment groups before and these ponies aren't much different. The solution is a simple colab with our Equestrian hosts." said Chrysalis with an air of calm.

"What do you purpose, High Queen?" asked Swarm, the Queen of the Love hive.

"We work with the Princesses and work on a law to outlaw acts against the changelings and severe penalty to damage against supply trains. We will even place guards on them if need is be." said Chrysalis, sitting back into her throne. She turned to Nympha and smiled. "Now, Nympha, I already know what to do, but what is the best route to take when considering punishment?" asked the changeling. The hybrid brought a hoof to her chin in thought.

"Well, a few years jail time is sufficient due to the fact we don't want to give a worse name for ourselves as it already exists. It should be equal to attempted murder charges since the supply trains govern the lives to countless pupa that mares have birthed in the hives.

"Going back to the point of not wanting to worsen our name, we should make it a lesser sentence in some way and sentence according to damage. This could prove as an efficient punishment to help lessen raids as well as keep our name somewhat clean." finished Nympha. Chrysalis chuckled.

"And the right choice indeed. Learning quite fast, my dear. Now, I will speak with Celestia, then the noble court on this proposal. Hopefully if this goes to plan, we should be able to get regular supplies back to hives. You are dismissed." said Chrysalis, standing.

"Do you think we made the right path to go on this, mother?" asked Nympha, following her mother out of the meeting hall and back into the hallways of the castle.

"There is not much else we could have done short of declaring war on the AC which is just insane. Do you know how hard blood is to get off of chitin." said Chrysalis, earning a giggle from her daughter.

"I have not once seen you raise a hoof against anypony. I doubt even you know how difficult it is." said Nympha. She stopped, however, when she noticed the sad, faraway look Chrysalis had on her face. "Mother, are you all right?" Chrysalis shook her head and smiled.

"Oh yes, just fine. I was just...thinking." said Chrysalis, trying to keep her discomfort hidden.

"Is this about that nightmare from before?" asked the small hybrid. Chrysalis sighed and ruffled her mane.

"It's nothing, my dear. Maybe I will tell you when you are older, but not today." With that, they continued off.

Author's Note

I finished writing this at midnight. At MIDNIGHT. Beat your heart out, viewers. Anyways, here we are on the first chapter of the epic conclusion to the Solar Child Trilogy and one of my best series ever written, so far. If a Dark tag pops up later in the story, it's because I haven't really exactly decided if this SHOULD be dark or not. So it won't be completely left field. Enjoy!

2: Of Crowns and Regilia

"Mom!" said a dual pair of lungs. Dash winced at the sound of her two grown daughters calling out to her. Even at twenty-four they still acted like foals. Oh the joy of twins.

"If you ignore them, they might disappear." muttered Dash. Twilight, who sat across from the cyan Pegasus, giggled and shook her head.

"If it worked that way we would have gotten more sleep when they were filly's. Besides, they have their mothers stubbornness." said the lavender alicorn. Dash stuck her tongue out and went back to writing her story. Rainbow Dash was devestated when the author of Daring Do stopped writing. As a solution, Twilight had Rainbow write her own series. As a result, Mare-Do-Well was known other than just some story from a small town called Ponyville.

"Mom, Prism hid my regilia!" said a alabaster alicorn with a light purple mane. Prism, a dark blue alicorn with her mother's prismatic mane, shook her head.

"No I didn't! You stole my crown, Glimmer!" said Prism, pointing a hoof at the other mare.

"Why would I want your crown? I have my own, thank you very much!" said Glimmer, sticking up her head in superiority.

"Well, you can shove it up yo-"

"Did you check under your beds?" asked Twilight, hurriedly jumped in before it turned out to be the two sisters taking their respective guards and starting a food fight against the other. The twins loved each other dearly but did get in fights often enough.

"No." said Prism, scuffing the ground with a hoof.

"Well then check there instead of talking about where you would love to shove objects." said Dash. The twins blushed. Twilight rolled her eyes at her wife.

"They aren't there, check with Nympha or Bright. They are both like their mothers in the respect of playing pranks." she said, waving a hoof. The twins shivered, remembering the time Nympha decided to scare the twins be turning into a panther during Nightmare Night and scaring them when they were out in the gardens.

"Okay. I guess we can work together to find our stuff." said Glimmer. The twins smiled and hoof bumped before walking out of the room.

"And Trixie and Chrysalis want more foals? Isn't the one they have enough trouble?" asked Twilight, shaking her head.

"I say Chrys is brave. No sex or shape shifting. Unless Trix is going to give birth to it again." said Rainbow, going back to her writing. Twilight shrugged.

"She will be fine...for the first few months. Then all hell will break loose because she is sex deprived." The two shared a laugh.

"I am very functional while sex deprived." The two turned to see Chrysalis walking into the living quarters of their chambers.

"You say that now and we get to laugh while you freak out four months in, thinking Trixie doesn't love you because she hasn't had sex with you since you got pregnant." said Twilight, smirking,

"It's true, I should know." said Dash, looking up from her story. Chrysalis rolled her eyes and sat down. Her face grew serious and the door closed behind her. There was a click as the door locked itself.

"Um, Chrysalis, why did you lock the door?" Asked Twilight. Her horn glowed briefly. "And placed charms around the room?"

"There's just something I need to tell you and no pony can know. Well, mom already knows and she's probably telling mother right now, but-"

"Wait, which one is mom and which one is mother?" asked Rainbow Dash, confused. Chrysalis mentally face hoofed. Of course she wouldn't know which one she was talking about. That's the difficulty when both your parents are mares.

"Mom is Luna and Celestia is Mother. Anyways, it's about that night twenty-four years ago." said Chrysalis. Twilight and Rainbow shuddered. They knew exactly what night the High Queen was talking about.

"Why are you bringing this up? I thought we all agreed not to speak of it again?" asked Twilight. Chrysalis sighed.

"Last night I had a dream, yet it was so real. It was of that night, all those years ago. Then I saw her. But that's not what worries me. She talked to, knew I was there. It was like a memory yet not," said Chrysalis, shaking her head. "In the morning I went and talked to Luna since she pretty much controls dreams. After a quick talk we came a to a very...disturbing, reality."

"What was it?" asked Twilight, concerned. Chrysalis sat there for a moment. Tears started to form in her eyes.

"I wasn't sure until later, but it was a telling of the future in my memory. It told me that..." She paused and took in a deep, shaky breath. "...that she is going to release herself." The room went dead quiet, the other two mares falling into a shocked silence. She just told them that one of the most powerful demons on the face of Equestria that could very well be Satan herself was about to release herself into the world. This was worse than all three AC attacks, Nightmare Moon, and the Doscordian war combined. This was the apocalypse just a sitting at their doorstep and it was more than ready to let itself in.

"How long do we have?" asked Twilight, breaking the silence. Chrysalis sighed and shook her head.

"That's the other thing. It's a ticking time bomb with no clock. I don't know when though it's soon. It draws in every single scrap of negative emotion and stores it away. It could be anytime now." she said, scuffing the floor.

"So we have to hope there isn't a large source of negative energy to kick this all off. Well, this is perfect."

~~~~~~

"Briiiigghht!" Bright Night winced at the high pitched sound of the twins calling out her name. The dark indigo mare with a pink mane buried her face back in her book, hoping the two would go away. She loved her nieces to death, all three of them, bu sometimes the twins could be a tad bit annoying.

"Bright, did you take my regilia?" She heard Glimmer say.

"Yeah, and did you take my crown too?" asked Prism. Bright chuckled lightly at the irony of the situation. She levitated the book down and turned around, lifting up her hooves to show they were bare. It took the twins a moment to come to the same conclusion she had just moments ago.

"Nympha." they said in unison.

~~~~~~

The trio marched through the halls, keen on finding their missing royal attire. Nympha was a stealthy mare and it didn't help that she could turn into anyone, or anything, that she wanted. It was easy to guess how she even stole the items in the first place.

They turned around the corner to find Nympha sitting infront of the throne room doors, her head cocked to the side. Sitting in a pile next to her were four golden shoes, a royal crown, and a golden regilia.

"Nympha! Why did you steal our stuff?" asked Bright, slightly pissed at the hybrid. The pink mare ignored them, deeming the door more interesting.

"Hey? Equestria to Nympha. Ya there?" asked Prism, waving a hoof in the changelings face.

"I want to show you something I found." said the hybrid, standing up and nudging open the door. The throne room, for its part, was empty except for a lone figure.

Floating in the middle of the room was what seemed like a unicorn stallion. Half his body was missing and continued on into a wisp. His white coat was translucent, making it possible to see the throne beyond him. His blonde mane fell around his ivory horn and around his face. He turned to them and smiled wickedly.

"Good evening, girls. My name is Blueblood."

~~~~~~

"Are you sure of this?" asked Trixie, nuzzling into her wife.

"There is no other explanation." said Chrysalis with a sigh. She had just told her wife about her revaluation. She did not take it well. She knew what this creature did to her wife when it was inside her and what nightmares it brought her. She couldn't even fathom what it free would do to the changeling.

"Then we will get through this," said Trixie, looking up at her wife. "One day, we will find a way to get rid of these accursed demons, cleaning ourselves and the children as well. We just need time."

"And that's the one thing we don't have," said Chysalis, lifting the mares head up with a hoof. "We will get through this, but not unscathed. This family, this country, this world, it will never be the same. But we will survive. We have each other, amd we will never separate." She kissed her and leaned their foreheads together.

"I just hope you can keep this promise."

Author's Note

Blueblood you bitch! I know you are sore about your death but you don't need to cause the apocalypse because of this. This is starting to look like World War Z. Not too much build up and huge fucking action coming in droves. (Shit is about to hit the fan.) indeed. And nice to have you back, insanity.

We all know who to thank.

3: Wounds reopened.

"Good evening, girls. My name is Blueblood." said the ghost of the stallion, giving a wicked grin at the trio.

"A ghost in the throne room? Well that's different," said Bright, examine the ghost. "Though a lame ghost in my opinion."

"Yeah, I bet I could turn into him no sweat." said Nympha, grinning. Prism rolled her eyes.

"Being a ghost is lame. I much rather stay a pony." said the dark mare. Glimmer, however, stared at the ghost.

"Prince Blueblood," said Glimmer, catching the attention of the irked ghost and other three mares. "Was born into nobility and has gained enough respect to at one point name himself as the nephew of Princess Celestia." said the mare, proving to be much like her mother.

"However, when Celestia's daughter, Twilight Solar, our mom, came back out of hiding after regaining her alicornhood, Blueblood conspired in treasonous speaking which was ignored for a year. However, when it became publicly announced that the once believed royal sisters were engaged to each other and Twilight engaged to the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash, Blueblood was arrested for treasonous behaviour and deifying the crown.

"The day after his arrest, the AntiCelesia group banded together and freed him, placing him as their head. Later, when Celestia and Rainbow Dash were only four months pregnant, the AC struck during the reception of their wedding. They took hostage Celestia and Rainbow Dash, using them to gain control of the sun and moon.

"Finally, royal guards were able to release them and take them to safety. Blueblood, however, had already sent a team of men to assassinate Princess Trixie Lulamoon and Chrysalis if need be. In the end, it sparked a full on battle, leaving the AC forces including Blueblood dead and Trixie wounded." finished Glimmer. The three ponies and one ghost stared at her, awe struck.

"You defiantly take after Mother." said Prism, shaking her head. Glimmer rolled her eyes at her twin.

"And you take after mom," Glimmer looked over at Blueblood with a scowl. "What are you doing here anyways? Last I checked, you are dead and it's very hard to come back from the dead."

"I'm very aware I'm dead," sneered Blueblood. "It was because of her mother that I am." he said, pointing a hoof at Nympha.

"But you injured my mom. How could it be her fault?" asked Nympha, confused.

"Not Trixie, you idiot! That bitch of a changeling, Chrysalis!" barked Blueblood, flying right up into the face of the hybrid. She stepped back, ears splayed against her head.

"But, mother could never do something like that. She hates fighting." whimpered Nympha.

"Hates fighting? Ha! She murdered my marefriend without batting an eye and killed my entire army within seconds. Finally giving me a slow, painful death. I say she loved it back then." sneered the ghost. Nympha whimpered and held her head in her fore hooves. Prism growled and stepped between the two.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" shouted the dark blue alicorn. Blueblood chuckled.

"Yes, don't let me forget your cowardly mother, Twilight. She hid herself for eleven years because she was afraid. She didn't even tell her own lover until they knew each other for over a year.

"Oh yes, then she and Princess Luna didn't even hesitate to kill every one of my soldiers in the caves. And tell me," he said, turning to Bright. "Did Tia hide you away and break apart your being like she did to your sister?"

"Shut your Faust damned mouth!" shouted Bright, stomping a hoof on the ground hard enough to crack it.

"Don't believe me, do ya?" he asked, grinning. "Go ask them. Ask them what else they lied to you about. Ask them what kind of monsters they actually are."

"Fuck you. Come on, girls. Let's leave this bastard rot in hell." said Bright, turning to leave.

"That's what they said when they tortured me." called out Blueblood, still grinning. Bright stopped for a brief moment before continuing, her three nieces following behind her.

~~~~~~

"What do we do now?" asked Glimmer as she held Nympha. The hybrid was still getting over the fact that she witnessed a ghost nearly attack her but also from hearing her mother accused of mass slaughter. The four of them were sitting in the royal gardens, their royal attire back where they were supposed to be.

"We could always go back and kick Bluebitch's ass back to hell?" said Prism. Bright chuckled but shook her head.

"A very pleasing idea, but an impossible and stupid idea. One, you can't touch a ghost. Two, that will give him more reason to hate our family. Saying we take after them." said the black alicorn. Nympha growled slightly, causing Glimmer to jump.

"He can go suck my changeling dick." said the pink hybrid.

"But mares have vaginas, not dicks. He can't suck what you don't have." pointed out Bright. Nympha gave her a 'are you fucking kidding me?' look and tapped her horn. Bright face hoofed. "Right. Changeling."

"Wouldn't that feel cold, though?" asked Prism, gaining looks from the others. "I mean, he is dead so shouldn't it feel ice cold on your dick?"

"Okay, let's get off the topic of changeling dicks and go back to the problem at hoof." said Glimmer, trying to get rid of the image of her cousin with a dick. It wasn't exactly disturbing, yet still felt slightly wrong.

"Well, I guess the only thing we can do is to actually ask our parents." said Bright, picking up a flower in her red aura.

"Wouldn't it be a sore topic for them? I mean, they kept it from us for our entire lives." said Glimmer. Nympha nodded.

"But we need to know if its true! If it is, then they could really be monsters like Bluebitch said!" shouted Prism stomping on the ground. Bright thought for a minute, humming to herself as she did.

"Well, we might as well try. I mean, our parents could never have done anything like that. We have. Known them our whole life and we know they couldn't have done that." said Bright, smiling.

~~~~~~~

Satanic. That's what they described her as. Oddly enough, it was her name. The very daughter of Lucian himself. Living inside of a powerful changeling queen. For now, that is. Soon, she will have enough dark energy that she could cast aside her vessel and cause as much damage as she can for her short life span. Thankfully for her, that damage would be half the world if she so desired.

Satanic sat in the realm of Limbo. She was still living in a live creature, so she was not allowed to leave and cross over to Tartarus as it would be. Her red mane flowed around her on the chilling breeze that blew through the twisted trees around her. Her black coat shone in the soft light.

"It is done." She opened her blood red dragon eyes and turned to see Blueblood walking towards her. He scowled as he did. She grinned.

"Oh come on, you still don't think you owe them, do you? They tortured you, for Fausts sake." said Satanic, shaking her head with a grin.

"Yes, but they had enough of a heart to let me die after all I did. They had enough right to keep me there for centuries. You just had to come to me..."

"I came to you because you are their most painful memory." said Satanic. She stood and circled the stallion spirit. "You caused great pain in their lives and you stirred their inner demons. I must thank you for that. But, you brining this to their daughters eyes, this is more than enough dark energy for me." said the demon.

"Just send me to Blaze. I did what you wanted me to." he said, stamping his hoof. Satanic shook her head before teleporting him to one of the levels of Tartarus. Hatred. A bit more pleasant than gluttony. But none of the levels are exactly 'pleasant.'. She didn't care, however. He out served his use, and he could be her father's bitch for all she cared. Now, she had to plan her own tartarus for the world of Equus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chrysalis and the others found themselves in the most uncomfortable and most unwanted position they have ever been in. Their kids somehow knew of what they did and they wanted to know if it was true. Chrysalis, however, was in its very center. The kids saying that a ghost named Blueblood had told them she slaughtered and army and then tortured him. She knew that it would happen one day, and it might as well have been to day considering her postion.

"Alright. The door is locked, spells are keeping all sound inside this room, and the guards have been sent away. Are you sure you want me to explain this?" asked Chrysalis. The four nodded. She winced as Nympha scooted a tiny bit closer so she could hear better. In her opinion, neither of them should hear. But she had no control anymore.

"The basics of the story is true. The AC did kidnap Celestia and Rainbow during the reception, the rest was made up, however," started Chrysalis keeping her eyes closed. "I went looking for them in the crystal caves below the castle disguised as a guard. I found the two in a cell. Tia exhausted and Rainbow clutching her stomach as if it could protect the spell Blueblood threatened you two with." she said, nodding to the twins.

"They somehow gained info that their next target was Trixie," said Chrysalis, hugging her wife closer. Trixie laid her head on the changelings chest. "I, however, could not do anything until Twilight and Luna came. Once they did, I killed the captain and booked it to the throne room, hoping to make it before they got there. I was too late.

"They already kicked in the doors and started a full on war when I was still a ways away. During that short amount of time, Blueblood shot Trixie with a crossbow." Trixie took this moment to part a small patch of fur on her right breast, showing a small white scar. "It was then, that all of us did something that haunts us to this day.

"All alicorns have a demon inside them. Cadance is the only alicorn alive to not have been born with it. Anyways, at that moment, I let go. I let go and it took over. I barely remember her name, but I believe it was Satanic. Very ironic considering she is the closest thing to Satan as a demon can get.

"That night, she used my magic to kill the small army by turning their blood into sulfuric acid, and tortured Blueblood, making it impossible for him to die or pass out. Still under the effects of our demons, we sentenced him to eternity of torture. We were lucky we were able to come to our senses and killed him." Chrysalis sighed and eyed the four horrified alicorns.

"Emotions can do terrible things to a pony if we are not careful. Alicorns are no exception to this. If not, we are more prone to this. Letting emotions and anger take over turned us into monsters. We don't want that to happen to any of you." She finished and waited for their reactions before another thought popped in.

"I also, think, you couldn't have found out at a better time." she said, leaning forward. Rainbow raised an eyebrow at her.

"Better time? How is now any better?" asked the cyan Pegasus. Chrysalis sighed and turned to the young mare alicorns again.

"Satanic is growing stronger and I can't fight her off much longer. Nympha, you remember my nightmare. It was a foretelling. It pretty much said that she is going to release herself, and I don't know when." she closed her eyes, letting the tears drop down her cheeks. "I want all of you to be as far away from me as possible when it does happen. I will still be alive when it happens, but the devil herself will be released and I can't stand to watch you get hurt." She stood and walked to the door.

"I need some sleep. Please be careful." With that, she opened the door and started out. She stopped half way through the doorway before failing forward.

"Chryssy!" shouted Trixie, running to her wife's side. She placed a hoof on the shaking changelings back.

"Get away. All of you. Now." said Chrysalis, her voice shaking. Trixie cocked her head to the side.

"Chrys, why would you wa-" she stopped as she saw the black tendrils coming out of the changelings back. Her eyes widened in fear.

"Shit! We are leaving, NOW!" she ran forward and grabbed onto the four children. She was soon joined by Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash. Creating a large pony pile. With a flash of rose magic, the group teleported out of the room and to the otherside of the castle as a second figure began to form next to Chrysalis.

The form grew, reaching a head above Celestia. Her coat was black and her mane and tail blood red. Her eyes were also a terrifying blood red along with slits for pupils. She cackled evily as she finished forming.

Satanic was free.

Author's Note

Well, shit just got real. So, when this was being written, I came to a realization and my editor agreed with me. This is a lot like Past Sins. Well: 1) We have a secret group trying to overthrow the gov.'t.
2) We don't have alicorn filly's turned mares to further their goals, but we do have the evil ghost of Bluebitch.
and
3) We have a group of Princess making a mistake that they soon are going to regret. All that is missing is the CMC trying to teach the meaning of friendship.
*makes CMC appear*. Fixed! Anyways, a lot in this chapter was born by me and TheGreatEater shooting around ideas and they seem to look very promising. Welp, Satanic is free and she is here to kick ass and take names. Told you this had a World War Z feel.

4: A Queen of Tartarus

Chrysalis groaned as her senses started to return back to her slowly, letting her become aware of her location. From what she could see, it was the throne room. But instead of Celestia, Luna, Twilight, or Trixie on the throne, it was a black alicorn mare with a blood red mane and red dragon eyes. It didn't take her long to figure out who was before her.

"Satanic." groaned Chrysalis. She went to rub her temples, but found her hooves bound. Her forehooves her bound above her head while her hind legs were firmly placed on the ground. She traced her bindings to find black chains leading to nowhere.

"You can't touch lead and iron, but you are willing to use chains?" asked Chrysalis, raising her head slightly to get a view of the demon. Satanic shrugged.

"Ropes are too weak so we use multiple kinds of metal to create chains we can freely touch." said the demon, standing up off the throne. She started to walk towards with a grin, her true emotions hidden to Chrysalis despite the numerous years of being bound to her.

"What do you want, you demon bitch?" Spat Chrysalis, glaring holes into the demon before her. Satanic gasped in mock hurt.

"Demon bitch? Oh but deary, I'm a Queen." said Satanic, circling Chrysalis.

"No, I'm high queen. You are just the demon that was bound to my soul before you decided it was time to walk around." said Chrysalis, staring forward as the demon stood behind her.

"Oh, I am very much a queen. One of the Queens of Tartarus, that is." said Satanic, her mouth right next to Chrysalis' ear. Her ear flicked in irritation at the feel of her breath over it. She turned her head ever so slightly to see her.

"Don't get excited. I may be gay, but you're married. Besides there is another mare I am interested in," said Satanic, walking away from her. "Though, I doubt I will get blessing from her mother." said the demon, looking back at Chrysalis with a smirk. Chrysalis' eyes widened.

"You stay away from my daughter!" Growled Chrysalis. Satanic ignored her.

"Nympha will make a beautiful Queen in my opinion. Solar already runs the level Hatred very well. Sombra has gluttony covered. Nightmare Moon has Envy down. Solar Eclipse has pain settled. And Lunar Eclipse needs no help with Vanity. But my Insanity, a wife to help me rule my realm is welcome." said the demon, tapping her chin.

"You came back just to court my daughter and drag her back to Tartarus?" Asked Chrysalis, glaring at her.

"And cause as much damage as I can before me and my new bride have to remerge with your soul." said Satanic, sitting back down on the throne.

"Why must you always ruin my life?" Asked Chrysalis, hanging her head. Satanic shook her head.

"Don't blame me. Blame Fate. He was a tricky bastard when I met him." said the demon with a grin.

"What do you want with her?" Said Chrysalis softly, refusing to raise her head. Satanic's grin fell for the first time that day. Her face turned serious and she walked up to the bound changeling, sitting down in front of her.

"Multiple reasons. I won't lie and say that I don't plan on making her a co-ruler of the insanity realm, but I need her for a few other reasons." said Satanic. She turned her head and looked at the far window.

"Demons need to breed, Chrysalis. Queens more than anything. Me being gay makes this more difficult since queens can't breed with each other. So, she needs to be the carrier of my child.

"But, there is one more reason. And it's because I'm lonely, Chrysalis. Demons are not without love, no matter what you think. We love, we care, we weep. It's shocking, yes, but it's true.

"So, I may have fallen for your daughter during my time bound to you. So don't worry, those feelings weren't incest." said the demon, winking slightly at the end.

"Because finding out that your inner alicorn demon loves your daughter is totally not something to worry about." said Chrysalis, rolling her eyes.

"Glad you agree." said Satanic, grinning.

"That was sarcasm!" Chrysalis shouted. Satanic broke out into laughter, obviously finding the situation rather hilarious. Her laughter died down and she donned a small smile.

"I don't expect your blessing, Chrysalis. I just had to go by tradition. I only need you alive as a vessel and it wouldn't be a happy relationship if I was to kill you."

"It wouldn't be a happy relationship if she was forced, either. If you do love her, I would rather you go the slow route and actualy try and ask her out. Not bind me in my own throne room and use me as leverage." snapped Chrysalis. Satanic sighed.

"You don't understand the severity of the situation. I don't have time. Lucian, my father, is wanting me to get married NOW. And you really can't just refuse my father. You have to have a death wish." said Satanic, sadly. Chrysalis was in deep thought. Lucian sounded a lot like her father when he was alive. There was a reason her parents were rarely seem together.

"You can marry my daughter..." Satanic's ears perked up, a smile crossing her face. "But I, of course, have conditions."

"I guess I can risk it." said Satanic. Chrysalis smiled.

"Alright. You cannot take her to Tartarus until she is ready and you can't keep her there for long. No evil plans against Equus. And give the foals some time. You don't need her shooting them out right away."

"So, what you're saying is...."

"You have to come very close to a normal alicorn." Silence stretched throughout the throne room. Chrysalis smiled smugly while Satanic stared at her, mouth hanging open.

"That's suicide!" Shouted Satanic. Chrysalis shrugged.

"They said that about invading Canterlot yet we are still here." said the changeling. Satanic thought for moment.

"This could work. It's just Lucian I'm worried about. If one of his most powerful daughters go soft..." she trailed off and let the statement sink in.

"Then we fight back. I didn't let the fact that Trixie was a mare as well as a pony stop me from loving her and being with her. Now we've been happily married for twenty-four years and have a beautiful daughter."

"Doesn't mean I can't worry. Wait, why are you helping me? I made you cause slaughter which still haunts you." asked Satanic, confused. Chrysalis smiled.

"A few reasons. One of them being we've been bound to each other eternally for three hundred years. That, and I'm a changeling." said Chrysalis, winking to the demon queen. Satanic blushed and mentally face hoofed. Of course she knew how much she loved Nympha. If it wasn't for the fact that she was used to Trixie, she probably would have been drowned in the emotion.

"I might have forgotten that. But, do you really think this will work?" Asked the demon. Chrysalis rolled her eyes.

"You sound as repeative as I did when we were about to have Nympha. I wonder how many times I fussed over little things that last few months? Anyways, the point is that it will be fine. The rest of us might not warm up very fast. If you haven't forgotten, my wife has had to comfort me after I wake up in tears." said the changeling.

"And I'm sorry. Look I will be better. I accept your conditions. I just-just...." Satanic trailed off, not sure on how to continue.

"You just love her so much you can't think of what life would be like without her." finished Chrysalis with a knowing smile. Satanic smiled and nodded. If there was any mare that knew what she was talking about, it was Chrysalis. Satanic was fully born because of her love for Trixie.

"Okay," said Satanic, releasing the changelings bonds. "I think I'm ready. But, I don't know if she will believe me." said the demon. Chrysalis rolled her eyes again.

"Love directed at an undisguised changeling directly is far more strong than any other form of emotion. You should be worried she doesn't drown in it," said Chrysalis. Her smile than disappeared and her voice dropped. "But remember I will create my own realm of Tartarus to torture you in if you hurt my daughter in any way." growled the changeling. And Satanic believed her. She may no longer be attatched to a demon, but she still could cause plenty of damage. She nodded and the two started to where Chrysalis believed they should be hiding.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ponyville?" Asked Satanic, taking in the town before her. It was a small town consisting of mostly earth ponies, some unicorns, and the occasional Pegasus. The citizens of the town walked by, not noticing the two. Satanic raised an eyebrow and turned to Chrysalis.

Chrysalis was now a red unicorn mare with a blond mane and blue eyes. She then looked over herself to find herself normal except that she was the same height as normal ponies and had no wings. Chrysalis changed them both in the middle of teleportation.

"Impressive." said Satanic, praising the work. Chrysalis smiled.

"I'm a changeling. I could pull off Celestia's public appearance perfectly. Now, their place of stay shouldn't be too hard to find." said Chrysalis, guiding the hidden demon.

"Why here though? It's just a small town." said Satanic, scanning the area.

"Yes, but this has large value. The remaining elements, who are probably fourty, live here. This is also where Rainbow and Twilight met. Finally, this town was the first place Twilight could roam without fear for her life." said Chrysalis, smiling. "Oh, and her son lives here."

"Wait, son? I thought she only had Prism and Glimmer." said Satanic, confused.

"True. Spike isn't her actual son. He is actually her adoptive son. He hatched for her back when she was admitted into her mothers school."

"Hatched?"

"Spike is a young dragon. In pony years, he's thirty but still, like, ten in dragon." said Chrysalis. By now, Satanic could tell they were heading towards a tree by the edge of town. A sign next to it read 'Golden Oaks Library'

"Any other odd things about this family?" Asked Satanic, still baffled.

"He is married to the sister of the element of generosity and has a filly with her." Satanic's jaw almost hit the ground.

"You ponies are anything but normal, aren't you?" asked Satanic. Chrysalis smiled and nodded, stopping infront of the library door.

"You ready?" She asked, eyeing the demon queen. Satanic looked over the looming tree before them before looking back down at the door.

"As I'll ever be." With a nod, Chrysalis raised a hoof and knocked, ready to enter the shit storm ahead.

Author's Note

*looks up and sees on coming shit storm.*
You got to be kidding me! I just finished washing these turbines! Do you know how hard it is to get septic tanks out of turbines? Very.

Anyways, did you seriously think Satanic was going to be the villain? Ha! That's just too simple. I just have to make a cluster fuck with some beautiful shipping in there. Remember, this isn't exactly incest. They were bound but that's it. They are not related in any way. Now, let's see how this wonderful shit storm #1 turns out.

6: The thoughts of a demon

Satanic sat on the balcony outside of her and Nympha's room back in Canterlot. As soon as they returned from the rather eventful evening, they started trying to throw together a wedding within the last few days. Celestia was trying to try and convince the public of Satanic's sudden appearance short of telling them that she is the daughter of Lucian, the ruler of Tartarus.

Her name still stood as Satanic, but she was just a nobles daughter that ran away to a more free land and ended up falling in love with Nympha. It was pretty close to the truth enough to be believed. It was so surprisingly easy that it made her feel anxious. When she entered Equus, she expected retaliation, maybe a small army. She got an empty room, a somewhat forgiving changeling, and a warm family. It wasn't what she expected but it wasn't unwelcome.

"You okay, Hun?" Satanic turned around to see Nympha looking at her in concern. Over the last few days her love for Nympha grew while Nympha's love for her bloomed. By the time they were wedded, their love would be mutual. It was a good feeling for Satanic as she grew up being feared and hated. Being loved brought this warm feeling of purpose to her normally black soul. And it was all thanks to the pink mare she was about to marry.

"Um, yeah. Yeah, I was just thinking." said Satanic with a smile. Nympha smiled and nuzzled up to the black demon.

"Oh? I wouldn't happen to be the cause for that, would I?" She asked innocently. Satanic kissed her own the forehead below the horn, causing the changeling to purr. An odd sound for the insect like creatures. Then again, she was a hybrid.

"I was just thinking about how much better you made my life." said the black alicorn, looking up at the sky. The moon was just minutes away from reaching its zenith.

"How much did I improve it?" Asked the curious pink mare. Satanic sighed and leaned her head on her lovers shoulder.

"All my life since I was born around the same time as Chrysalis, I was hated and feared. One day, I was searching through the memories of my host and found this beautiful pink alicorn. I watched her grow and mature and found myself falling in love with her.

"When I finally got the guts to go and tell that mare I loved her and wanted to marry her, I was terrified of what would happen. After telling her, she ended up falling for me only hours after. And I could feel this black soul of mine warm up at the thought of being loved for once."

"Funny. A creature that feeds off emotion saved a life using emotion." said Nympha, nuzzling the mare with a smile.

"You're probably not since we do have a few changeling doctors and nurses. The love and care they show always helps." said Satanic. Nympha frowned and cuffed the mare in the back of the head.

"Just when you made me feel special." pouted Nympha. Satanic laughed and pecked the pink hybrid on the snout.

"You are special. To me." Nympha giggled and wrapped her hooves around the demon.

"Since I'm marrying a demon, I better be special. I don't think there are many mares that have the ability to say that." said Nympha with a smile.

"You will be the first." Their lips met, filling the air around them with electricity as their horns met. Magical energy lept from each of their horns as they rubbed against each other.

"Well this is awkward." The two mares yelped and turned to see Luna standing the portal of the balcony, blushing slightly. Her blush paled in comparison to the two bright red blushes coming from the younger mares who had just separated themselves.

"Granny Lulu." said Nympha, her face burning a bright crimson. Luna shook her head.

"I told you. Just call me Luna or Lulu. Granny Lulu makes me feel old. Well, I am, but it makes me feel older." said the indigo mare. Nympha nodded while Satanic cocked her head to the side.

"Why are you here, Luna?" Asked the demon, curious of the night goddesses appearance on her balcony.

"Oh, I just wanted to have a walk with you, Satey." said Luna with a smile. Satanic groaned at the new nickname from the princess. It was coming to her understanding that Luna has short nicknames for everyone of the royal family members. She was soon about to be part of this huge, mixed matched family so she was liable to this.

"Alright, I just don't understand how it couldn't wait till morning. I'll be back later." Satanic stood and pecked her lover on the forehead before following the indigo mare out of the room and into the halls of the castle that the royal family resided and ruled in.

The halls of the castle were decorated with banners depicting various events in history as well as the cutie marks of each of the royal family members and the element bearers. A certain pink banner, however, caught her eye.

A red heart sprouting silver wings adorned the center of the banner. Satanic smiled as she took in the site of Nympha's cutie mark. She went on to the next banner and cocked her head in confusion.

"Luna,I thought Chrysalis didn't have a cutie mark." she said, gesturing to the black banner. On it was a turquoise heart filled with a triplet of holes. A pair of hole filled insect wings sprouted from it. It was almost identical to Nympha's.

"She doesn't. We needed a cutie mark to put on a banner but the thing with changelings is that they don't get cutie marks. However, Chrysalis was able to think of this one. It represents the love and care she usually shows to others even though she is a changeling. It was very ironic that her daughter got the exact same cutie mark with the same meaning." said Luna, looking over the banner.

"Like mother like daughter." said Satanic, looking over the two banners. Luna chuckled.

"That seems to be common. Now that Twilight has gotten rid of her restrictions over the past few years, she is almost a spitting image of her mother when they are in public. The same can said about me and Trixie. Prism takes after Rainbow and Glimmer after Twilight. Bright is a combo of me and Tia.

"Every foal takes after part of their parents while gaining their own traits. It's what makes each of us special. I have no doubt that your own foal will take after you when it is born." Luna turned to Satanic with a warm smile. It quickly vanished as she took in the saddened look on the demons face.

"If they take after their parents, what happens if one of them is a demon?" Asked the demon, casting a small flame in her hoof without the aid of magic via the darker side of her being. "Foals are sensitive know not of the power they hold. In Tartarus, you want to stay away from a demon foal. But, what about a demon/pony hybrid? Are they more dangerous? I....just don't know if I should even bring something like that into this world due to how other ponies would react."

"You are afraid of other ponies rising up to purge Equestria of the demon in the castle." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. Satanic nodded.

"I'm not even pregnant or a mother and I already fear for my children. And my soon to be wife. The public will not take kind if they ever knew of my true origin. And of my past." Satanic sat against the wall and banged her head slightly on it.

"If and when they find out, we will fix it. We did it once, we will do it again." said Luna, sitting down next to the black mare. "Yes, not all of us are exactly one hundred percent comfortable with you. You just have to give that time. But you still are practically family now. Tomorrow when you stand at that alter in that beautiful white wedding dress, and you say those vows, you become an official member of this huge, wacky family. And we look out for each other."

"You sound a lot like Moony." said Satanic, chuckling slightly. Luna laughed.

"She can be fun when she does not get set off and tries to throw Equus into eternal darkness." agreed Luna.

"That plan would have never worked. I mean, the ponies would have died after a few years. Food would have ran dry and they would eventually die of starvation. It had so many holes in its plot." Satanic said with a shake of her head. Luna giggled and nodded.

"We were powerful but not every gear was turning." The two shared a genuine laugh. It wasn't forced, or awkward. It was as if the two had known each other for years. And they had, in a sense. It made the moment all the more special between the two. And there were plenty more of those moments to come with each member of the ever growing family.

~~~~~~~~

Tartarus was an eternal pit of fire and agony. There was a castle at its very center. It's where it's King ruled and where his daughters would meet for their own private meetings. The house of their father would have been the last place, but it is also ideal.

"What should we do? Father is not exactly happy with this devolving matter." said Nightmare Moon. The mare was sitting at the round table where her other sisters met. The meeting room was blood red with an obsidian table taking up the center. At it sat the powerful alicorn demons and the one demon that provided as the equivalent to Equu's Rainbow Dash. When Nightmare Moon showed Rainbow the Shadowbolts, she showed the actual team of advanced fliers in the realm of Tartarus. Which, in sense, was also a dark realm of Equus such as Purgatory was a lighter realm. A paradise.

"Well, I'm not keen on betraying my sister. But I'm not sure betraying father is not bright either." said Solar Flare, her blue fiery hair was normal and unlit as it flowed down her neck.

"Defying Lucian is not wise but we shouldn't betray Satanic either. She is one of the first one of us to achieve something more in her life and something we all want. We should support her, not betray." said Solar Eclipse. The others nodded.

"So do we just go ahead and betray Lucian?" Asked Chrome, a Pegasus demon.

"What else can we do? Betray our sister and take away her first happiness? Or betray the father that never shows love to use and sees us as tools? I'm sorry, I prefer supporting sister over some self-righteous asshole." said Nightmare. The others nodded.

"Well, I think our best bet is to try and contact Satanic and see if she can get us out so we can try and gain the same goals. I'm not keen on staying in Tartarus." said Lunar Eclipse.

"What if she can't?" asked Solar Eclipse.

"Then we will get out the same way as Satanic. Use our built up dark energy and bust out that way. Let's just hope they don't kill on site." said Flare, sitting back in her chair.

"The things family do for each other." said Nightmare, shaking her head and chuckling.

~~~~~~

Lucian was a grey stallion a whole head taller than Satanic when she is normal height, a head taller than Celestia. His hair was a pitch black and blood red, mixing together as it fell down his shoulders.

In front of him was a list that contained the names of every new sinner that fell into his hole of despair, waiting to be placed into their proper realm depending on their sins. Next to that was another. A list that showed the names of souls that wandered in Limbo. It was just outside his realm and was up to him to choose wether to destroy the soul, keep it in limbo, or to bring it into Tartarus.

The high demon sighed. He turned his head and looked at one of the many paintings that hung on his office wall. A black mare with a blood red mane and eyes sat in front of a field of fire. She had a scowl on her face as she looked off into nowhere.

The painting was suddenly lit ablaze with black fire, devouring the black mare it depicted in a matter of seconds. The mare was soon replaced by a black scorch mark on the wall.

"All that work creating the perfect demon and she turns on you and becomes soft. Ha! I don't need her though. Plenty of others to replace and fuel my escape." said the high demon, smirking as he signed a soul to destruction. The brutal process of having a soul torn apart and thrown over the universe to the point where it could not reconstruct itself.

"Soon. Soon I will have me revenge on Equus, then on Purgatory. I will show them that I'm not insane and that ponydom is a failing race that needs to be exterminated. I will have my revenge."

Author's Note

Okay, so my contact with my editor was cut off due to the school being an ass and taking away my Skype and App Store. So, for awhile I will be editing this from the comment section. Oh, and Lucian is insane.

7: Arrival of the family

Satanic fidgeted with her hooves as the lace behind her back was done for her. Rarity hummed to herself as she did each loop with practiced ease. Despite her age, the mare was still able to easily create any dress she wanted, including an elegant wedding dress.

"Oh dear, you look positively gorgeous." said the alabaster mare as she stepped back from the demon. Satanic shifted and looked into the mirror, taking in her appearance.

In the mirror stood an identical black alicorn mare, her mane and dragon eyes red. She was dressed in a white wedding dress that wrapped around her body and flowed down to the ground. Satanic smiled and turned slightly, taking in what she could.

"Even at fourty-eight you are an amazing seamstress, Miss Rarity. It is perfect." said Satanic, turning to the white unicorn.

"Of course, deary. You can't expect a little age to stop what I love doing. It would take more than a few dastardly wrinkles to pull me away from my dresses." said the mare, whipping her dark purple mane to the side.

"Devotion can be a virtue as much as a sin." said Satanic as she sat down, carful not to wrinkle her wedding dress.

"Have ponies gone to Tartarus because of devotion?"

"Yes and no. They didn't go because they were devoted to something they love but more because of what cause they were devoted to. Such as Blazing Sword when she acted Canterlot with the AntiCelestia organization."

"So it's a matter of who or what you are devoted to that sends you to Tartarus." said Rarity, sitting down across from the mare.

"And what you do because of that devotion. You could be devoted to some twisted cult, but done nothing sinful with them. What sends you to Tartarus is very hard to predict and it's better to just wait it out." said Satanic.

"Well, this is a weird conversation before a wedding." Both mares screamed as a white blonde ghost appeared next to them. Blueblood broke out into laughter.

"Blueblood, you asshole. How did you get out of the Hatred realm?" Asked the demon, glaring at the ghost.

"You know you made me worried when you didn't tell me your intentions." said Blueblood with a huff.

"Last I checked, you hated lesbians." said the demon, raising her brow.

"I got over it. Though I'm not thankful for the open surgery." said Blueblood, crossing his forehooves.

"Hey, I'm not in control when I'm set off. Now what is it you want?" She asked crossing her hooves.

"Your sisters threw me into Limbo and asked me to ask you to get them out of their vessels."

"Why? They knew my reasons for coming here. They should know very well that I'm not going to participate in any form of attack on Equus." said Satanic, shaking her head.

"They want to support you. They specifically said 'we are not going to follow some asshole that never once showed us any love.' It seems you are very close to your father." he said with a smirk.

"Yes. Very close. I love him so much I want to shove my hoof up his ass." she said with a roll of her eyes. She them put a hoof to her chin and hummed in thought. "Well, it's possible but the vessels need to do it willingly. It took a shit load of dark energy to release me and its a wedding so there is hardly any."

"So, you have to convince seven alicorns to release something you were born to fear?" Asked Rarity, still recovering from the shock of Blueblood popping out of nowhere. Satanic told the group when they met at the library how she returned, including her tale of Blueblood and lying to him in fear he would not do it because of his hate of lesbians.

"Pretty much. We still have a few good hours before the wedding so we can talk to them now and get this over with." Satanic said with a sigh. With a quick flash of black aura, her wedding dress was returned to its place on the ponykin where it originally was.

"How well do you see this going?" Asked Rarity as she followed the alicorn demon.

"Not really sure. Trixie, Dash, and Bright are still weary of me. Twilight, Luna, Tia, P and G, and obviously Chrysalis are all okay with me. It's just those three that will take some convincing." said Satanic. The two walked down the hall, finding directions to where Celestia and Luna were.

The two entered the private study of Celestia where the demon and unicorn came to a scene neither of them expected. Luna was being chased by a pillow weilding Celestia, the moon princess laughing all the while.

"Should I even ask?" The two eldest alicorns stopped as they realized their guests. Celestia, taking Luna's moment of weakness, slammed the pillow into the side of the moon princess' head.

"What brings you her Satey?" Asked Celestia, using Luna's pet name for Satanic. The demon knew this was going to be tough. Celestia murdered a whole army in front of her daughter with Solar Flare while Luna almost plunged Equus into eternal night with Nightmare Moon and nearly killed her sister.

"Well, um, I kinda got a message from home." said Satanic, scuffing the floor with a hoof.

"Oh, that doesn't seem so ba-"

"My sisters want free." There was a silence as what she said settled.

"What?!" said the couple in unison. Satanic's ears pressed down on her skull in annoyance at the loud volume if their voices.

"They said they want support me here. They rather be by my side rather than fathers. I can definitely understand why." said Satanic, nearly growling the last part. There was another silence as they thought it over.

"How do we cast the spell?" Asked Luna. Satanic raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I thought you to be the most reluctant about releasing Moony." Luna shrugged.

"What can I say. I've gotten used to the demon queens of Tartarus." said the night goddess with a smile.

"And if I understand correctly, our demons our like ourselves unless they are set off. It should not be that bad. I can deal with two Chryssy's so why not to Lulu's." said Celestia with a smirk. Luna huffed and punched her shoulder. Satanic giggled before telling them the complex spell that unlocked the barrier within themselves and allowed the alicorn demon inside them to slip free.

The goddesses of Day and Night casted the spell simultaneously, bringing to life Solar Flare and Nightmare Moon. Celestia was surrounded by Solar's blue flames while Luna was surrounded by Nightmare's purple smoke. After a few moments, the two elements formed a figure of the same size of the princesses and fleshed out to reveal the two alicorn demons standing next to their other.

"Well, I'm glad that wasn't a few moments earlier." said Solar Flare, shaking her head.

"Thanks for letting us know about your wonderful bathroom adventures, sis." deadpanned Satanic. Solar laughed brightly, a laugh only matched by Celestia.

"Nice to see you again, Satan." said Solar, joining Nightmare in giving the smaller demon a bone crushing hug.

"We are not in Tartarus, I need air." Satanic said, trying to push away the mares who seemed content on suffocating her. The two stepped back and soon found themselves face to face with their pony look alike.

"Isn't your mane and tail usually on fire?" Celestia asked Solar. The white demon shrugged.

"Only when I'm set off. Normally, it's nice and flowing." said Solar, flicking a hoof through her two tone blue mane.

"And don't you have blue armor?" Luna asked Nightmare.

"Same as Solar. Normally, no armor. Just me." said the demon.

"Alright, cool, you know each other. Now, if you don't mind, I have another five alicorns to ask to release demons. This is going to be a very interesting wedding." said Satanic, turning away and walking towards the door.

"Let us come with you, you are going to need proof that we mean no harm." said Solar, following them.

"Fine. Tia, Lulu, you might as well join in. We don't need them thinking you turned." With that, the group left to find the rest of the alicorns.

~~~~~~

"So, this is nice." The room was filled with alicorns. Twenty alicorns, including Sombra and Cadnce, eight ponies, and one drake. Sweetie cradled Blue in her hooves while Spike stroked her mane.

"I guess. Twenty nine ponies in one room, twenty six of them extremely powerful. Not at all an apocalypse." said Spike.

"Hey, it's traditional to have family from both sides present and this is my family. Minus my father but no one likes him so it's all good." said Satanic with a shrug.

"So, how long till the wedding?" Asked Solar. Nympha looked up at the clock on the wall and stood.

"About an hour. Alright, Fluttershy, might as well get me dressed." said the hybrid. The shy Pegasus nodded and flew after the pink alicorn.

"Same goes with us, Rarity." said Satanic, heading to her dressing room. Rarity followed, talking about all the things she could possibly do with the demons mane as they walked. That left with minus two elements of harmony and two less alicorns.

"What is your father like?" Asked Luna, breaking the silence. Solar Flare raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Asked the solar demon.

"Well, we hardly know anything of your family and life except for the moments you took over our bodies. I'm curious." said Luna with a shrug. The group of demons thought for a moment.

"Well, imagine only having a father that used a soul of some innocent mare to give birth to you but gave not a rats ass about you unless you proved yourself powerful and evil." said Solar Eclipse. She was a dark purple mare with a black mane. Her cutie mark was identical to Twilight's but completely blood red. Her eyes were the same purple but her pupils were slits.

"He never really payed attention to any of you?" Asked Celestia.

"All of us except Satanic, and that has eaten away at her for hundreds of years." said Nightmare Moon.

"Shit, I feel bad for myself." said Chrysalis.

"So, she hated being evil?" Asked Prism, taking part in the conversation about the doubles in front of her.

"With a fiery passion. Part of the reason she fell in love with Nympha and came running her to marry without second thought." said Lunar Eclipse. She was a midnight blue like Trixie's own mother, while her mane was deathly white unlike the light silver and blue of Trixie's. Like all demons, she had lavender dragon eyes.

"Well, I guess that's enough talk for now," said Celestia, standing. "We all have a wedding to prepare for within an hour. And I have to seal the deal." The group nodded and went their separate ways to prepare for the first ever marriage of Demon and Pony.

Author's Note

Hey, one more chapter and I get to do another wedding and the last one in the series. If I remember correctly, I did Celestia and Luna's, Twilight and Rainbow's, and finally Chrysalis and Trixie's. Now we will finish up the weddings in this Trilogy with Nympha and Satanic's. Oh the lovely Skywalker family feel.

8: A Historic Wedding

Satanic exhaled lightly as she beheld herself in the mirror, just minutes before she was supposed to be approaching the alter. Even though she proposed, it was decided that it should be reversed for the sake of keeping her identity a secret. The longer the public does not know that she is a demon, the longer she doesn't have the entirety of Equestria speaking her head even if she has the support of the royal family. It was a very large gamble for both her and the royal family, but they went head on into it. And without any regrets.

"Were you this nervous on your wedding day?" Asked the demon. Rarity chuckled at the question.

"Dear, I have yet to meet a mare or stallion who was not nervous on their wedding day," The white mare placed a hoof on the slightly larger mares shoulder. "It's perfectly normal. You are taking a big step, a huge risk also in your case. Nervousness and doubts are always in that forefront of your mind. But that all disappears the moment you place your eyes on that mare standing at the alter, waiting for you." Satanic smiled at the mare. After a few seconds she broke out in laughter.

"Its funny," said Satanic, recovering slightly. "For three hundred years I was taught to strive to be feared and rule without mercy in the flames of my wrath. And now her I am, nervous, about to marry and settle down with a beautiful mare. It's a drastic change but one I will accept with hooves wide open." Rarity smiled. If anyone was able to change the heart of an entire family of demons, it was the royal family. It was heartwarming sight to see something taught to hate and be feared be so happy with just being a normal mare filled with love. If the smile on her face was anything to judge by, this was going to be the happiest day of her long life.

"Everyone decent in here?" Asked Solar as she knocked on the door, grinning as her head pocked in the room.

"No, I'm going to go to my wedding butt ass naked with my tail swinging side to side as suggestively as possible." said Satanic rolling her eyes but grinning none the less at the eldest sisters antics. Solar shrugged as she stepped into the room, her two toned blue hair catching the light.

"Who knows. Giving Nympha a sneak peak may let you benefit from it later." Satanic stuck her tongue out at the mare.

"Perv."

"You know it." said Solar Flare. Satanic looked the white demon over, finding not one piece of clothing on the mare.

"You do know you are walking me down the aisle and red flags will be thrown if they see your cutie mark." said Satanic, pointing to the cutie mark that looked exactly like Celestia's.

"Hmm. Yes, that may be a problem. No matter." In a flash of blue fire, a red dress draped itself over her body to hide the cutie mark on her flank. Her eyes then flashed and revealed themselves as ice blue.

"Well, hello Miss Solar Flare of Acadia." said Satanic with a smirk.

"And hello to you too, Miss Satin Rose of Acadia." replied Solar Flare, grinning as she curtsied her sister. The two sisters broke out into laughter at each other. Rarity grinned. Oh yes, they have changed.

~~~~~

Princess Satin Rose of Acadia. That was her current name and status among the ponies even though she was Queen Satanic of Tartarus. Though she preferred Satin Rose, a ruler of a small, imaginary country, over the ruler of a feared hell that is hated as much as feared.

Princess Satin took a deep breath as she waited around the corner from the hall where the wedding was being held. Solar Flare looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Still nervous?" She asked. Satin nodded. Solar smiled softly and placed a hoof on her shoulder.

"You are doing the right thing, Satin. You are proving that demons aren't heartless and cruel. We are just like ponies, we were just dealt a worse hand than any other." said the elder sister, nuzzling her sister affectionately. Satin smiled and leaned into the nuzzle, purring lightly, an ability that has grown natural as if she was a cat. Solar giggled at her younger sisters habits.

At that moment, the music started to play, signaling it was time. Satin took a deep breath before lacing her hoof in her sisters and following the next generation of the CMC, Sweetie Belle and Spike's oldest leading the group.

Rarity had predicted correctly. The moment Satin brought her eyes on the mare in a similar wedding dress standing at the alter, all her doubts vanished, leaving her with nothing but the love she felt for the mare in front of her. Celestia chose this time to push the sun just low enough to shine perfectly on the mare, taking whatever breath the disguised demon had left. The entire way to the alter Satin wore a smile big enough to split her face if it was possible.

Nympha's smile matched her own as she waited upon the alter for her other. The walk up to her was agonizing slow to Satin, but it wouldn't have faired her well if she bolted up there, especially in her wedding dress, and tackled the mare into a kiss. Until the ceremony was over and they were married, touching and kissing was a no-no.

Nympha's two cousins and her one aunt stood by her side, Chrysalis not far behind the pink alicorn. Waiting for Satin was her own sisters. Three of them at least. Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse, and Naphiry, Nympha's demon who was a deep red with a silver mane. And Solar Flare taking place of their mother. Finally, Satin took her place directly in front of Nympha, Solar Flare off to the side of Satin.

"Fillies and Gentlecolts, we are gathered her toady to not only merge to countries, but merge two ponies into everlasting love. We will be joining the hooves of Nympha Lulamoon, heir to the High Changeling throne, and Satin Rose, Princess of the small country of Acadia.

"As per usual, we shall start with the vows, sealing the promises that each will keep for one another. Nympha, you may go first." Nympha smiled just a bit more at that, if it was possible, and started.

"I, Nympha Lulamoon, vow to stand by your side through every difficulty you may face in your long life. I vow to love you wholly and eternally, never dwindling over the hard course of time. I will forever and always be your love." There were a few audible awws from the crowd. Changelings almost naturally knew how to pull at the heart's strings, and boy was it working.

"Satin, your vows." said Celestia, turning to Satin. Satin took a deep breath, her smile never once faltering as she did so. It had no reason to.

"I, Satin Rose, vow to protect you through thick and think not letting anything hurt you and whatever family we may have. I vow to put you first over my own needs, even if that means giving my own life to protect your safety." That was what probably did the ground in. Satin could hear multiple mares faint and a few stallions cover their chests from emotional overload. Satin was at an advantage with living inside a changeling for over three hundred years.

"Now, these golden bands represent the endless, golden love that will flow through both of you through this forever connection between you two, joining your souls into one." said Celestia. Spike chuckled slightly as he moved forward with the pillow holding the rings. He was now well into his thirties, but his part as ring bearer never changed. It was funny, but he enjoyed it nonetheless.

Taking the rings in their own magic, Satin working her aura into a cyan instead of its usual black cloud. They place the rings on the others horn, gently sliding them down the lengths of the shafts until they snuggle rested at the base of their horn. Satin could feel her excitement building. She knew what was next, she had been yearning it since she saw Nympha.

"Nympha, do you take this mare as your newly wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Satin, do you take this mare as your newly wedded wife?" Did she even need to ask?

"I do."

"I now pronounce you mare and wife!" The world stopped, the noise of cheering fell away, leaving the two kissing mares on the alter. Out of all of the pain, the suffering, the self-hatred, the self-doubt, this was the happiest day of Satanic's life.

Author's Note

Weeding came and pass. You all know what that means....
That's right! Shit goes to hell and Lucian starts the apocalypse that will somehow be resolved by our large Skywalker family. Sadly, I may do the unthinkable. Kill off characters. I know, it's sad, but it may happen. But it might not. We shall never know....until later. Until next time, Viewers.

9: The apocalypse approaches

Satanic smiled lazily as she woke up. She tightened her grip on the fuzzy object in her hooves, recieving a lazy groan. The pink object rolled over and smiled at her.

"Good morning, Hun." mumbled Nympha. Satanic giggled and kissed the hybrids forehead.

"Good morning to you too, beautiful." replied Satanic sleepily. It was a full four months after the couple got together, and not once was there a moment where they didn't love the other. It was a relationship the mothers of Nympha always wanted for the young mare.

Satanic whimpered as Nympha removed herself from her grip and walked over to put on her regalia, her hips swaying side to side suggestively.

"Oh, now that's low. It's not fair to get me turned on before we go to work. I can't even get a feel for the next six hours." whimpered the demon. Nympha giggled as she slipped into her shoes and flung Satin's tiara at the mare.

"Come on, Satin Rose, we have a long day ahead of us." said Nympha as she made her way out into the main room of their quarters. Satanic stuck out her tongue before giving herself a rose heart cutie mark. Once her eyes and cutie mark were in order, she placed her regalia on her neck and her tiara on her head. She stepped into her shoes and walked into the main room where her wife was waiting.

"Good morning again, Satin Rose." said Nympha with a smirk. Satanic stuck out her tongue.

"Good morning again, Nympha Lulamoon." replied Satanic. The couple met in the center of the room to kiss, their lips coming close to each other...

"You two need to hurry! It's an emergency!" The two froze just in front of each other, blushing madly as they glared at the intruder. Solar smiled sheepishly.

"Heh sorry. Anyways, we are having an emergency meeting and we are waiting for you two." Satanic sighed as she removed herself from the warm embrace of her wife. The two followed the elder demon through the halls to the meeting hall where Nympha constantly met for high changeling meetings. Currently the room was being used as what looked like a war room. Numerous generals of both pony and changeling gathered in the room along with the princesses. The ghosts of Blueblood and Blaze floated next to each other. It took no less than a second to figure it was about Tartarus. The fact that Solar didn't hide her cutie mark nor her dragon eyes proved that much.

"Oh yay. I was totally looking forward to a surprise war meeting in the morning." muttered Satanic as they took their seats at the table next to Chrysalis and Trixie. "So can I be the first to ask why the fuck I was pulled out of my room for this?" Blueblood coughed and floated forward.

"Well, me and Blaze have been spying out on Tartarus for awhile and we may have found some disturbing news." said Blueblood.

"What exactly is this news?" Asked Celestia.

"It's not certain, but from the military activity and the rumors spreading around the palace, Lucian may be escaping into Equus soon." said Blueblood. There was a hushed silence.

"Okay, Luna, you can wake me up from this nightmare now. I'm not enjoying it." said Satanic as she leaned forward on the table. Luna looked stunned and just shook her head.

"This, this is not a nightmare no matter how many of us want it to be." said the night alicorn. Satanic cursed and put her head in her hooves.

"And this has to be at the time when I'm about ready to hump the table." groaned the demon. Chrysalis, the three month pregnant changeling who sat next to her, laughed,

"Turned you on while you're in heat, did she?" Asked the high changeling queen with a smirk. Satanic nodded.

"I swear she did it on purpose. She is going to make sure I suffer until I'm actually humping the edge of the bed just so I don't die of sex depravation." said the demon. Nympha punched her shoulder.

"That was not my intention. Besides, I didn't know you were in heat."

"I was practically drooling over you this morning!"

"You're always drooling over me!"

"Still, yo-"

"As much as I'd love to her about my granddaughter-in-laws estrous cycle, I think we should try and figure a plan of action." said Celestia, cutting them off. The two blushed and nodded.

"Do we have a certain window to work under or is his arrival still unknown?" Asked Luna. Blaze answered this time.

"I've down some snooping and we may have about a day and a half." The room went silent. Satanic frowned and the other demon siblings grunted.

"That ass!" Growled Naphyry.

"Doesn't give us much time to prepare for a full on war and apocalypse." said Trixie. She looked over at her wife. "You, young lady, are going to the Crystal Empire and hide out there. Possibly hide in the hidden caverns if need be."

"Hold on, why am I fleeing? I'm not going to stand by while some demon god threatens my family." said Chrysalis. Satanic placed a hoof on the pregnant mares shoulder and her other on her ever growing belly.

"Chrysalis, you carry the last descendent of the Solar crown. We can't afford to loose you. Besides, it will put all of us at ease to know you and the foal are safe." said the demon look alike. Chrysalis sighed and nodded.

"A-Alright. Just promise me I have a family to come back to." said the changeling.

"We'll see what they sat upstairs." said Trixie, brining her wife into and embrace. "We will try our best to stay alive as long as we can." The changeling broke from the embrace and turned to her daughter.

"You got the race in your hooves now. Command who you need and do what you can to make sure I still have a beautiful filly to come back to." said Chrysalis, planting a kiss on her daughters forehead. Nympha purred lightly.

"I will." Chrysalis nodded and finally turned to Satanic.

"You take care them, ya hear. And try to come back yourself, I've kinda grown attached to myself." said Chrysalis with a smirk. Satanic smiled.

"No promises." They embraced. There was certainly a change in this family. Chrysalis sighed and bowed once.

"To all of you, I bid fair well and hope to see you once this is over. Either under the suns rays, or in the heavens above. Fair well." There was a chorus of 'Fair well's that followed her out the door. Trixie wiped a tear from her eye and leaned against her daughter. With new determination, Satanic placed her forehooves on the table.

"Alright, we are about to face a foe more powerful than ever. He has a deep seeded hatred for Equus and was sent to Tartarus for it. We can't let him win, however, cause I think we all value our lives over anything else on this world."

"What do we do to make sure we keep them then?" Asked the head of the high changeling guard.

"The guards of both species will have to fight together against the demon army. They die like normal ponies but are tricky and cunning. Meanwhile, us alicorns have daddy to take care of. When combined, we should be able to take him down." said Satanic.

"What if you were to be set off? Would that help our chances?" Asked Luna.

"They should. It is safe to say we are more powerful in full on pissed off mode than normal peppy selves." said Nightmare Moon. Celestia tapped a hoof to her chin.

"So, demons go full on pissed mode while alicorns pull our inner gods out of our asses. Seems like a sound plan." said Celestia.

"It's the only plan we've got. We can't really do much more and he was nice enough to give us until tomorrow evening to prepare." said Satanic.

"I guess that's all. Captain, have your men ready for tomorrow evening. I want this city under lock down and under a strong dome. Contact the other hives and tell them what is going on and to prepare for full on universal war. Both of you, get going." commanded Nympha. Both pony and changeling captains saluted and ran off, leaving the remaining alicorns a few ponies.

"Twilight, Rainbow, you two better get the other elements down here, teleport if need be, we need them down her now and ready." said Satanic. The couple nodded and walked off.

"I'm glad that spell is almost finished. Those four are getting to old for this shit." said Celestia, shaking her head.

"Your finding a spell to lengthen the lives of the other elements?" Asked Solar with a raise of an eyebrow. Celestia nodded.

"It won't cause too many problems. Rarity and AJ are already together. Fluttershy is married to Discord and he is immortal. And Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie. It's hard to depress that mare." said the solar princess with a shake of her head.

"Well, we will probably die tomorrow so let us all to and spend time with our loved ones. This may be the last moments we get to spend with them." said Satanic, standing. The others nodded and followed her lead. Nympha went to follow her wife but was stopped.

"You can have later tonight and in the morning. Today, your mother needs you." said Satanic, pointing to the distraught azure alicorn. Nympha kissed Satanic's forehead and trotted over to her mother. The demon smiled and left on her lonesome. She was going to need some time to think. Lord knows it will be one of her last chances to.

Author's Note

Well, apocalypse is arriving in another chapter or two. The beautiful shit storm of demon parenthood. I now feel bad for my favorite changeling. She has to hide away while her loved ones fight. :( Be strong, Chryssy! Anyways, until next time, viewers.

10: Preparing for the End

Satanic was staring out the window out into the sunrise of the mountain city of Canterlot. She knew this was the last time she would ever get to see it this way. Calm, quiet, peaceful. And in a few hours it would be under a red sky as Tartarus fell upon them in an attempt to kill them all. Talk about a mood killer.

She looked back at her wife, still sleeping with a slightly soaked sheet over her lower half. She smirked slightly at the sight. Nympha made sure she wouldn't have too many distractions in battle, thus some fun after she came back late last night.

She sighed and stood. She leaped off of the balcony and into the morning sky, her black wings catching the air and sending her into a gentle glide. She beat her wings and ascended into the air, looking over the city of Canterlot. She scanned for bottle necks, vantage points, dead zones, and areas to set up blockades. The main road straight to the castle was a problem, however. You could march an entire army down the road with ease.

She scoffed and turned back towards the north to head back to the castle, sparing a glance towards the direction of the Crystal Empire where she knew her mother-in-law was now staying in refuge. Chrysalis took no joy on being there but they all knew it was needed to keep the royal family alive for she held the next descendent.

"Nervous?" Satanic yelped and fell ten feet before correcting herself. She looked up to see Celestia descending down to her level and flying beside her.

"Um, yeah, a bit," said Satanic, looking back forward to the castle. Celestia sighed.

"You are afraid he will kill us all, or more importantly, Nympha," said Celestia, looking over at her. Satanic looked away.

"That's not all," said the demon.

"Oh?"

"I don't think she knows it yet, but she used the spell," said Satanic, finding the ground beneath the more interesting.

"What do you mean?" Asked her grandmother-in-law. Satanic shifted in her flight pattern.

"It was a few months ago, our first, if you would. We weren't even a month into marriage. I think we were too deep in the moment to notice, but she casted the pregnancy spell. Accidently I presume," said Satanic.

"You're in your second trimester and you still want to fight? Satanic, you are pregnant! You can't go fighting a demon king in this condition! Why didn't you go with Chrysalis?" Asked Celestia.

"Because I want to kill him myself!" Shouted Satanic, coming to a hover in the air. "I was not going to let that asshole walk over me anymore!"

"Does she know?" Satanic froze. The demon stammered before looking away in shame.

"I was too afraid to tell her. So far, you are the third pony to know. The doctor is the only other one who knows." said the mare. Celestia sighed and embraced the demon in an odd airborne hug.

"She needs to know before she goes into this. Give her something to fight for. Give her something to look forward to. Use it as something to look forward to because this foal will forever make your day until you die," said Celestia, cradling the demon. Satanic silently wept in the soothing forelegs of the solar princess. Satanic chuckled.

"You know, if we win this, the demon curse will be broken from all future Alicorns." commented the demon with a small smile. Celestia chuckled herself.

"Faust knows you guys have been a pain enough as it is." The two shared a warm laugh, sharing the sunrise.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey babe, where have you been?" Asked Nympha, wiping the sleep from her eyes. Satanic landed on the balcony, shaking her wings out nervously.

"Um, you know, just flying around, scouting out the city, talking to Celestia," said the demon, smiling nervously. Nympha raised an eyebrow at this.

"What did you two talk about? You seem nervous, and I can taste it," said Nympha. Satanic sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, waving her closer. Nympha raised an eyebrow and scooted closer to her wife. Once she was only a few feet away, Satanic grabbed her hoof and placed it on her stomach.

Nympha sat there confused for a few seconds until she felt something hit her hoof, something from inside her wife. Her eyes widened as she came to the conclusion.

"Y-y-you're...."

"In my second trimester, yes," said the demon, cradling her stomach as if it was the foal itself.

"It's an illusion right now, that's why nopony knows. I was scared of everyone's reaction to it, your reaction. So, I hid my pregnancy," said Satanic, still cradling her unborn child.

"But why stay when our child will be in danger if you fight? Why fight while pregnant?" Asked the pink hybrid, curling around her wife. Satanic let out a shaky breath.

"Because after what he has done, I want to be the one to kill him. And I refuse to sit on the side-lines," said the demon. Nympha sighed and shook her head. She took her wife's head into her hooves and directed it in front of her own.

"Satan, you are carrying my foal as well as yours, I can't fight knowing my wife and my unborn child are at risk of dying. You are weaker when pregnant. You can't fly as fast, your magic is less powerful, you run a risk against both your lives," said Nympha, leaning her forehead against her other half's.

"For the sake of the unknown gods above, just stay in the castle where it is safe. I don't need to lose both of you in this fight," Satanic tried to argue, but the look her wife was giving her told her that she was right. She needed to stay behind.

"Alright. And if he makes it to the castle?" Asked Satanic.

"Then you teleport your ass to the Crystal Empire and hope mom doesn't strangle you," Satanic laughed dryly, hugging her wife close.

"I want you to look at our daughter as a reason to come back alive. I want her to have both mothers," said Satanic, sneaking a kiss. Nympha chuckled and snuck her own kiss.

"Already know its gender, do we? Well, let me know when you know its race. Though, I'm certain it's going to be just another alicorn like the rest of us," said the hybrid with a smile. Satanic giggled.

"Who knows, it might be its own demon."

"Now that's something interesting I'm not too sure I want to see but interesting nonetheless," replied Nympha. She pulled back away and smiled sweetly at her wife, "Now, your flank stays here and alive. I've got to prepare the changeling troops and myself. I will be back later."

Satanic watched with sad smile. She hated that she was not allowed to fight, but Nympha was right. She was four months along and had another six until she was due. She did not need to endanger their unborn child this far into her pregnancy.

Deciding on what she wanted to do next, Satanic stood and walked towards the full body mirror they had in the far side of the room, facing away from the bed of course. She looked it up and down, stroking her belly lovingly as she tried to recall the spell.

The mirror's surface rippled, an image starting to form. It was a room with Crystal walls. It was a simple room, probably used for guests. A single form was laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Satanic grinned as she had the advantage of surprise.

"Good morning, lazy ass!" Shouted the demon, causing Chrysalis to yelp in surprise. The changeling high queen turned to see a laughing Satanic in the mirror.

"Damn, I forgot you had that spell." said Chrysalis, shaking her head. "What is it you called for anyways?" Asked her step-mom. The mention of why she was calling made her mood drop and look away.

"I, um, called to let you know that I will be joining you later before the war starts," said the demon, not wanting to meet her mothers eyes. Chrysalis cocked her head in confusion.

"Joining me? Why? I thought you would be fighting your old man, not fleeing all the way over here," said Chrysalis.

"Congrats, mom! You get to be a grandmother!" Said Satanic with an unenthusiastic smile. Chrysalis blinked before allowing her eyes to grow wide.

"Wait, you're pregnant?! When the hell did this happen?!" Asked Chrysalis, walking up over to the mirror.

"A while after the wedding. I was afraid, you know. I was afraid of everyone's reactions, and being a mother as well," said Satanic with a dry chuckle. Chrysalis laughed.

"Just don't be like me. I was arranging her bedroom for god's know how long before Trixie's water broke. Then poof! Nympha," The two shared a laugh. Satanic knew motherhood would be tough, but she knew if she lasted through this war, she would have pros at being mothers to help her.

"So, what time should I be expecting a friend in this boring crystal castle?" Asked the changeling. Satanic chuckled.

"In a few hours. I need to break it to my sisters and to my other mother-in-law before heading over. Hopefully I can make it before father gets here," said Satanic. Chrysalis nodded in understanding.

"Well, see you in a bit, Hun. Just try not to do something stupid while carrying that foal around," warned Chrysalis. Satanic rolled her eyes before ending the spell, causing the mirror to return to its former self. She looked out the window at the rising sun.

"Well, better hurry up and get this over with."
~~~~~later that evening~~~~~
"Are the troops ready? Is our defenses up? Has the city been evacuated? Ha-" Nympha shoved a hoof in her worried wife's mouth with a giggle. The pregnant demon had been worrying about the defenses and offenses every since she started packing. Now, being done, that was the only,thing she seemed to focus on when it was time for her to depart.

"Love, I'm sure we are as ready as we can ever be. Just relax," said Nympha with a warm smile. Satanic gave her a deadpan look.

"Babe, you just asked a pregnant mare whose wife is about to walk into a apocalypse grade shitstorm to calm down." said the demon. Nympha and Satanic's large array of siblings broke out into laughter.

"Gods, you worry too much, Saty." said Flare with a chuckle. The other demon sisters nodded.

"Yeah. Besides, we will make sure everyone of this family makes it through, even if us demons have to die for it," said Nightmare Moon with a smirk. Satanic smiled slightly.

"Just try to come back yourselves, alright? I'm kinda attached to my sisters," said the black demon. The group of sisters shared a hug, taking up a majority of the room with this embrace. Nympha stood back and watched them with a sad smile.

"You're nervous you won't be there to see your foal born, aren't you?" Nympha turned to see her mother, Trixie, walk up to her. The hybrid sighed and nodded.

"Yeah. But at least they will know I loved them and their mother enough that I sent them away. I wouldn't be able to fight knowing they were in the line of fire," said the pink mare. Trixie chuckled and nodded.

“I know that feeling. I would be worrying about Chryysie and my unborn child the entire time that I would be an easy kill," said the azure mare with a smile. Nympha looked back at the cyan Pegasus that was watching the progress from afar, a small smile on her lips.

"How do you think she will hold up in this fight? I know the other four elements will be there, but while she is not only just a Pegasus, I heard Scoots will be leading the Wonderbolts for the attack. How do you think she will fair knowing that?" Asked Nympha. Trixie laughed.

"Dash? She would feel safe as fuck knowing her own daughter is leading the attack. Plus she has her twins with her as well. I say she will do well," said the elder alicorn with a smirk. Nympha giggled and looked around the room.

"This might as well be the last chance we see each other. After this, we fight the apocalypse, a lot of us dying to make sure Equus doesn't fall," said Nympha, looking over the ponies and demons in the room. "Grandmother, Grandma, Aunt Twi and Rainbow, you, Aunt Bright, the twins, the demons, the elements, we all might die within these next few hours."

"And we can't do anything but enjoy what we have now. Once the fighting starts, we fight to see another day, we fight to see our loved ones again, we fight to make sure our loved ones see another day. You don't think about yourself out there, you think of the others around you, and you fight for them," said the azure alicorn.

"Then I will fight. I will fight so my daughter has a bright future, even if I have to die for it."

Author's Note

Woo! I'm getting these done. It's been almost a month but I'm try to get these written, along with some clop fics and a one shot. So many updates that I have it's not funny. I'm actually thinking of dropping one or two due to complete lack of drive. So if you see a Cancelled on one of my stories, sorry. Just so much going on that it's hard to handle.

5: Unwelcoming Tidings

The two disguised alicorns waited outside of the library, waiting for it to be opened. After a few minutes, Chrysalis knocked again while Satanic shifted her weight between her hooves in her nervousness. Before the changeling could knock a third time, the door handle turned, causing Satanic to tense up. The door opened to reveal a purple drake the size of an average stallion. In his arms was a blue foal with a white mane.

"I'm sorry, but the library is closed for family matters." said the drake, keeping the door slightly open. Chrysalis smiled at him, letting her eyes flash green for a second.

"Not even family is allowed in?" she said. Spike chuckled and shook his head, opening the door for them.

"Get in here, Trixie is worried sick."

"I bet." said Chrysalis, walking into the library. She looked around to find only Sweetie Belle. The white unicorn was a close to a spitting image of her older Rarity. The only difference being her purple and white curly hair. Upon seeing the unicorn, Chrysalis dropped her disguise to show her normal appearance.

"You can come out." called Sweetie, smiling at the changeling high queen. The basement door opened and seven alicorns and five mares walked out of the basement. Upon being seen, Chrysalis was tackled by two grown alicorns, one showering her in kisses.

"Hey! Don't need to drown me!" Chuckled Chrysalis, trying to get out from underneath her wife. Out of the corner of her eye, Chrysalis could see Satanic standing off to the side uncomfortably. Chrysalis frowned and stood up.

"Look there have been some...misunderstandings earlier. Now I need you all to stay calm." said the changeling. She turned and nodded to Satanic who walked into the center of the room. Nympha started to gag a little, causing Chrysalis to stifle a giggle and Satanic to glare at the queen.

"Who...*cough cough*...is this?" asked Nympha, trying to keep her coughing under control from the insane amount of love she was feeling from this new pony.

"This pony is somewhat of an old friend to me. She asked me about something she needs help with and now I need to run it all by you." Chrysalis nodded to Satanic who stared at her. Chrysalis face hoofed. "Shit, I forgot I have to do it for you," she groaned. There was a flash of green fire and in the place of the black unicorn stood a tall black alicorn. Her mane and eyes were blood red, her pupils matching that of a dragon.

"Sweetie, take Blue upstairs please." said Spike, handing the foal over to his wife. The white mare nodded and ran upstairs, leaving a tense silence around them.

"So," said Satanic, pawing at the ground with her hoof. "My name is Satanic." Satanic yelped as she was thrown back by a bolt of rose energy.

"Stay away from my family you bitch!" Shouted Trixie, standing in front of Nympha to guard her. The pink alicorn stared at the black figure trying to pick itself out of the wall, emotion she wasn't expecting from the creature pouring out of it.

"Mom?" Said Nympha, looking up at her mom.

"Not now, Nympha. I'm trying to protect you."

"But mom...."

"Don't worry. I got thi-"

"She's not going to hurt me!" The room fell silent as all eyes fell onto the pink alicorn mare. She was staring down her shocked mother.

"Wh-what?" Asked the mare, confused.

"Satanic did not come here to hurt any of us." said Chrysalis, putting a hoof on her wife's shoulder.

"How do I know she's not controlling you?" Snapped Trixie, turning on Chrysalis.

"You scream during sex and have the oddest fetish of..."

"Alright you are normal." said Trixie, blushing. She turned towards Satanic, having just freed herself. "Why are you here?"

"For her." said the demon, pointing a hoof at Nympha.

"Hold on. What do you wa-"

"Makes sense." For the second time in the last two minutes, all eyes were on Nympha.

"How could you tell it makes sense?" asked the azure mare. Nympha rolled her eyes and pointed to her protruding fangs.

"I'm a changeling, mom. I can taste love and it is pouring out of her and damn near choked me to death."

"Sorry!" Said Satanic franticly. Trixie raised an eyebrow.

"You came her to ask my daughter on a date?" Asked Trixie, eyeing the black alicorn demon. Satanic looked away and but her lip.

"I actually came here to marry her and take her back to my domain in Tartarus." Satanic flinched at the silence that followed her statement. Chrysalis was already okay with it, having set down ground rules, but she still had a mother and the daughter to convince.

"You want to do what now?" Said Trixie, glaring at the demon. Satanic bit her lip.

"Told you it wasn't going to be easy." said Chrysalis, smirking.

"No shit, I see that." said Satanic. Chrysalis laughed, confusing the group with her comfort around the demon.

"Excuse me," said Bright, drawing herself to attention. "I thought that this was the demon that slaughtered all those ponies. To me, she doesn't seem all that dangerous or scary."

"I represent insanity, dear. I'm only scary when I get pissed enough, that's when I show up in the sense of being bound." explained Satanic.

"But then wouldn't you be able to snap on Nympha and attack her?" Asked Glimmer.

"Demons don't work that way," said Celestia. "It took the sense of my daughter about to be killed for mine to be released, a sense of being completely ignored and useless for Luna," Luna looked away in shame and found the book shelves more interesting. "Twilight took immense pain in watching her mother beaten. And finally was Chrysalis, watching her marefriend nearly killed."

"Point is, it's going to have to be something major to set off a demon. That, and she still has to obey my rules." said Chrysalis, looking back at Satanic.

"Already had the talk, I see?" Said Trixie, raising an eyebrow. Chrysalis grinned.

"Yup. Now I see why Luna enjoyed giving it to me so much."

"Because it's so fun to watch them squirm." said the two alicorns in unison. They broke out in laughter while Satanic watched, dumbfounded.

"Don't worry," said Trixie, walking up behind the demon. "Chrysalis was terrified of my mother for a week. Being a goddess of the night makes you very....convincing." Satanic giggled a bit, shocking the group by the feminine gesture from the demon. The black alicorn demon stopped as she realized everyone was quiet and staring at her.

"What? I am a chick." said the demon. There was another bout of silence. During it, Nympha was trying to organize her thoughts.

"What are the rules to our marriage?" Asked the young alicorn.

"Um...she can't take you to Tartarus until you are ready, she can't keep you there for long, and she can't be in any attack or conduct any attacks on Equus. Along with not hurting you." said Chrysalis. Nympha thought for a moment, weighing it all in her mind.

"I'll do it." stated the pink alicorn, causing all eyes to turn to her.

"Are you sure, honey?" Asked Chrysalis, placing a hoof on her daughters shoulder. Nympha nodded.

"She seems to be changed from how you described her. That and I'm not exactly leaving since I can come back when I want." said the young mare. Chrysalis smiled and kissed her head.

"Well, at least my throne isn't going to be empty. Though according to your mother I'm making the next one." said Chrysalis with a wink.

"I did not choose to get pregnant. That was your fault so now it's your turn for eleven months of hormones and pain."

"Don't I already get that once a month?" Asked the changeling.

"Yeah, well, it's worse." said the azure mare.

"It is." agreed Celestia and Rainbow with a nod. Chrysalis shrugged.

"Yay! A wedding! We need to get balloons and streamers and-" Satanic stared in confusion at the bouncing pink ball of energy rambling off party supplies she apparently needed for a wedding. She turned to Chrysalis for an explanation.

"It's Pinkie Pie, don't try to understand it." whispered the changeling. Satanic nodded and tried to follow the pink earth pony's movements. There was a tap on her shoulder and she turned to see Nympha staring up at her.

"Can I speak to you in private?" Asked the mare. The demons cheeks flushed a bit and she nodded.

"Just don't be too messy now." whispered Chrysalis. Satanic's cheek's burned crimson as she tried to keep her wings down, even wrapping them in her black aura to keep them settled. She walked with Nympha as they left the group and went into the back room of the library.

"Why do you love me?" Asked the hybrid as the door closed behind them. Satanic sighed and sat in one of the chairs. She soon regretted it after she found herself...larger than the chair.

"Oh come on! Does that drake literally have that small of an ass?" Shouted the demon in frustration, finding the chair bound to her flank. Nympha's giggling did not help the huge blush on her cheeks.

"You going to answer?" asked the alicorn. With a flick of her horn, Satanic freed herself from her chair and deemed the floor worthy of sitting on.

"Well, I guess it's because it's you. You're fun, smart, beautiful, cute, and very capable of running a entire race." The demon sighed and lifted the mare's head up with her hoof. "I come from a place where I respect you being different where ponies here avoid you because of these." she said, tapping Nympha's horn than fangs.

"So you don't care that I'm a changeling/pony hybrid?" Asked the mare. Satanic braved herself and kissed the pink alicorn just below the horn.

"Not at all. I may even find it hot. Who knows?" The two giggled, Satanic's forehead on the smaller alicorns.

"It will be odd with you being taller than my grandmother, though." stated the mare. Satanic looked herself over before letting a black smoke devour her. In her place was a smaller version of herself, standing at the same height as Nympha, half a head smaller than Luna.

"Better?" She asked. Nympha surprised the demon by apply a kiss on her lips, leaving it sot there a few seconds before breaking it.

"Much better." Satanic blushed madly as she pecked the mare a second time.

"I think we should, um, head back out. Your mother already thinks we are doing much more than kissing." The two blushed and walked out of the back room.

"So how was my daughter's first?" Asked Chrysalis with a smirk.

"If you mean kiss, it was perfect." said Nympha with a grin.

"Now, which pair of lips did you kiss?" Asked the changeling, eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Ew, mom! My mouth. She will have to wait for that."

"And other things. Right, Satanic?" Said Chrysalis, staring at Satanic.

"Yes...mother." said the demon with a smirk. Chrysalis rolled her eyes.

"You two aren't married yet. I'm still Chrysalis you, missy." Satanic stuck her tongue out at the changeling.

"it's odd. If it wasn't for the looks, Satanic could be another Chrysalis." observed Twilight.

"It's because I am. If you were to take away the darker part of me, you would get a pony Chrysalis," said Satanic, nuzzling up to her soon-to-be-wife. "It's that way for all demons. If you were to talk to Nightmare Moon, Solar Flare, Solar Eclipse, or Lunar Eclipse, they would seem just like Luna, Celestia, Twilight, and Trixie."

"But what about Sombra? She was released and she enslaved the entire Cyrstal Empire." pointed out Celestia.

"That's because Cadence made the mistake of freeing her while Sombra was set off. Thus why she did what she did."

"So the enslavement of the Crystal Empire was Cadence's fault?" Asked Twilight. Satanic nodded.

"It was. And you ponies always blame the demons. We are actually quite normal despite our darker sides. The only demon I know of that is completely normal is Lucian. Our father."

"Who is he bound to?" Asked Nympha.

"No one. He was a former guardian of Faust's Paradise before being thrown out for rather....inappropriate behaviour. He was too dangerous to drop into Equus, so he was bound in his own realm called Tartarus."

"So Tartarus isn't just a prison for sinners, it's a prison for its own ruler." said Luna. Satanic nodded.

"Only his children are allowed to roam free. It's other occupants and lower demons are stuck in there. But of course, our freedom is limited to our host unless we take over or expel ourselves." said Satanic, sitting back in her chair.

"And you want to take our daughter there?" Asked Trixie, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not even sure anymore. There are more than enough heirs in Tartarus to take my place. The only danger is father. He might not be too happy his daughter left home." said Satanic.

"You are willing to piss off a extremely powerful demon just to be with me?" Asked Nympha. Satanic waves a dismissive.

"Of course. What kind of mare would I be to make you do something against your will."

"And I thank you for that." said Nympha nuzzling the mare and causing her to blush.

"Hey now. No need for this relationship to start off me and Trix's." said Chrysalis.

"How did your relationship start?" Asked Twilight.

"We confused then kissed." Twilight nodded in understanding. Chrysalis grinned mischievously. "Then we ate each other out."

"And a little too much information, Chryssy." said Trixie, turning Chrysalis away from the madly blushing lavender alicorn. The room burst into laughter while the new couple watched from their spot, happily enjoying their small bliss.
