Wrath, The Seventh Sinby CaptainAlbanosChaptersIts so...VibrantDemons and goddess just don't mixControlled chaos and living destruction Magic and fireManeiac? My puns hurt. part 1Maneiac? Mypuns hurt. Part 2A place to stayDirt meet Face!Its so...VibrantMankind, they are violent distrusting and all around hateful. They create rules for themselves to try and make up for their inherently destructive nature, but most of the time they only cause more trouble to brew between each other. When the apocalypse fell it was't from nuclear war, or a giant asteroid. Hell they didn't even get four horsemen No mankind fell to its own seven deadly sins. See after awhile mankind just couldn't be corrupted anymore, in fact the personifications of six sins decided they where bored with them as a whole so they revealed themselves to the humans and declared the end of the world then they sat back and watched every single human across the planet... just... panic. but close to the end Pride the first sin got impatient so they came to me. Now normally we don't have any kind of order of command but all this destruction had made me...godly. On average Pride is the leader of the sins with Lust and Greed not far behind. But the one unspoken rule is, was and always be: Don't piss off Wrath. Or he might just destroy the world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I woke up in a crater, a big one too. six feet across I think. Most of it was charred and cold so I had to have been there a while, Standing up I swayed on my feet a little. Steadying myself I looked around at my surroundings, most of which was trees and shrubs. A faint sound in the distance like a mass of talking and moving drew me to the edge of the forest.when I stepped out of the forest I swear I wanted to strangle myself. Tiny technicolor talking ponies, yes ponies I can tell the difference. I'm not as dumb as Pride thinks. I sighed and started walking twords the small pony-infested village, Hopefully they wouldn't be able to see me like the humans. Passing into the town wasn't hard, even getting to the market was easy... but once I got to the market. Every single eye there instantly turned to me. "MONSTER EVERYPONY FOR THEMSELVES!" I didn't waste my time with trying to calm them down, no I sat down and leaned against a fountain in the center of the street. Didn't take them long before six colored ponies, two winged, two horned and to normal, showed up to try and get rid of me. The blue winged one was the first to try... and fail PONY POV. When Twilight and her friends found the "monster" instead of listening to Twilight's plan, Rainbow Dash charged the thing head on. And received a sharp slap to the face that sent her sprawling on the pavement. "Oh wha-what hit me." Rainbow complained as she rubbed her head with a hoof. Twilight was the first one to get to her after she sat up. "Rainbow you can't just rush in there we don't know what its capable of." Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Not every problem can be solved by thinking Twilight..." When Twilight looked back at the Creature she finally got a good look at it. It was tall even sitting down she could tell that much it had pale fur-less skin was bipedal and had a mane on its head it wore no clothes from the waste up but from its waist down was a pair of what looked like some sort of pants like a Minotaur wore at formal occasions. Its feet much like spikes where bare and clawed as were the claws on the end of its arms. The entire thing was well muscled but a large 7 was branded into the skin on the left side of its chest. Its face was flat with an apparent nose and from what she could tell sharp carnivorous teeth. Just behind the dark red bangs was a set of piercing blue eyes. "Girls I think its sapient." Twilight's words flew over most of there heads. Rarity blinked and scoffed "You mean that thing can think like us?" Just because she was a lady didn't mean she was dull. Twilight smiled "Yes that exactly what I think. though I wonder can it talk? "If your all done with your conversation Mind if I ask a few questions?" Six jaws dropped and one smiled. Wrath's POV____________________________________________________________________________________ "If you stay that way your gonna catch flies." My voice seemed to bring most of them out of their stupor, well almost the yellow one made a goat noise and fell over. 'that was...sad just sad' "You speak Equestrian?" The purple one was speaking. "If you could be so kind I would like to ask you to leave, your scaring everypony." I sighed. "No can do little Pony, I need to speak to the leader of this fine kingdom." At this the blue one started laughing so hard she was rolling in the dirt. " y-hahahah you talk t-to princess hahah Celestia bwahhaa." I let a sly grin slide onto my face. "Thanks for telling me who to look for." The laughter stopped almost instantly. "Now hold up there pard'ner I don't think we Trust yall enough to just let ya walk on into Canterlot." the orange one had a point. "And now I know where to go." I stood up stretching my back out. "Now if you'll excuse me I have an meeting with a certain princess." It didn't take long for the purple one to smack the orange one in the back of the head with a hoof. I looked back to the other three. "do you all have any input, Maybe point me in the right direction? No alright then I will see you all later." But when I turned to leave all I heard was a strange humming noise and then I was engulfed in a bright white light. Demons and goddess just don't mixThis is the second time in the last few hours that I've been unconscious in the last few hours. Only Now I can't move...I can still see at least whats ahead of me, and I can hear so that's a plus. From what I can see I was in a throne room of some kind, the six ponies from before where talking in front of me. The purple one, I think they called her Twilight..something, was talking to a taller pony, er a winged unicorn with a, prismatic flowing mane? "Oh for fuck's sake, can this place get any more gay?" The ponies in front of me froze and turned to me. The first to speak was once again the purple one. "H-how did you...Your trapped in STONE, you shouldn't be able to see much lest Talk." Twilight babbled. I would have rolled my eyes if I could. "By the stars its just magic stone," I stretched easily shattering the stone. "If I couldn't destroy that inconvenience than I don't deserve the title of World Killer." I finished. Twilight looked terrified at the sudden shower of stone. "N-no the elements of harmony never fail...e-ever." In an instant the taller pony the unisus or whatever, landed between me and the six smaller ponies. "I am Princess Celestia Harold of the sun and protector of Equestria and who might you be?" Her words where polite but her tone could have cut diamond. I smiled, a wolfish grin really. My body started emitting heat my skins texture changing, now a stone shell super heated by the magma flowing through my veins. Cracks large and small webbed across my skin, small flames flicking out from them. My hair much like it's color became a small inferno. "My name is Wrath, and I am the Seventh and most deadly of mankind's sins, I rule no country or kingdom, no I am the king of anger and hate, I and I alone am responsible for war, and destruction. I am anger Incarnate," My appearance was slowly morphing back as I spoke I dropped to one knee and bowed as the last of my hair stopped burning. "And I am here to humbly ask if I may stay in the bounds of your country." Her astonished expression slowly morphed into a scowl. "Why would a Demon such as you ask for residence in a peaceful land in Equestria." I sighed. "Unlike the other six sins anger isn't an evil emotion just a negative one, I never asked for this responsibility, or power it's been part of me since the day I was born. I'm tired of all the problems it brings me. I wan't a little peace for the first time in over six billion years." Even the Princess' jaw dropped. "Six Billion years o-of violence how did you." I interrupted her. "Your majesty I Have died and been reborn so many times I have lost count of my age, even this old dialect is still new to me and the more modern speeches even more so. I have avoided death for six billion years while my siblings struggled for power." A few of the ponies where in tears, I wanted to roll my eyes but I kind of liked the sympathy. I kept my head down and stared at the floor, waiting for Celestia's judgement. "I will allow you to stay in Equestria on three conditions." My head perked up. "Name them." She smiled. "I will allow you to stay IN Ponyville under the supervision of the elements of harmony, second you shall pledge on your life to protect Equestria no matter the cost, and third tomorrow morning you shall be subjected to a single spell of my choosing fueled by the elements of harmony." I wanted to grin to jump up and shout for joy, but I let her continue. "For tonight however," She addressed the entire group. "You shall all stay in a large room where the Elements can guard you to the full extent of their abilities." Instantly the six ponies started to protest, a raised hoof from the princess however stopped them. "A guard shall escort you to the room, and you Wra-" "Please call me Grahm." "Grahm shall be blindfolded until you enter the room understand?" I nodded and Celestia waved over a guard. I didn't see anything afterwords but I know I was led through at least a mile of castle before I heard a door open and the blindfold was removed. I was greeted by six scowling ponies, Twilight being- wait she's got wings too? "How in the hell did I miss that? oh shit she been talking to me!" "-o we'ed like to know why your here. I know you didn't tell the princess everything." I groaned to my self." "Well my siblings will probably try to find me and use my power to destroy this planet just like they did back home but I died again when the planet exploded so I won't be back to full strength for awhile and they know this. This place may not be earth but anger exists everywhere so I think I'll be fine." The cyan pony suddenly jumped into my face. "And why should we believe you? all you've done so far is tell us your evil and that you blew up an entire planet why should we trust you? for all we know you could be a spy." She punctuated her sentence with a sharp jab to the chest with a well aimed hoof. "I may be evil but I am NOT a liar!" I grabbed her by the throat and heated up my hand a bit. "I don't care if you don't believe me I'm not gonna sit bye and be used as a weapon to kill another planet in cold blood." I dropped her where she spent the next few seconds mumbling something about her eye on me. then I noticed the stare I was getting from the white one. "What?" I snapped at her. she jumped a little but held herself high. "I was simply wonder why somepony like you would wear such atrocious clothing, you did call yourself royalty did you not?" I chuckled a little "Well I do have a crown but I don't like wearing it-" I could see twilight nod from the corner of my eye. "but as for these clothes I just don't own any others." She gasped and fell back-words onto a pillow that came seemingly from no-where. "Well if'n ya don't mind Ah got a few questions for ya." The orange one was the first one not to show me any hostility in awhile. "Sure but might I ask you something." She nodded. "Why arn't you angry with me?" She seemed to think for a second. "Well Ah'm the element of honesty I can always tell when somepony-er thing is lyin' and so far yall hadn't said nothin' but the truth." The rest of the girls looked a little upset by this but they didn't object. "Now first off who are these here siblins ya keep bringin up?" I swear I would have slapped myself but...yeah "Uh well lets see in order of power, its Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, and Pride. they each stand for a very negative form of the emotion they are named after." the girls nodded. "So why are they so scary they just sound kinda mean, but then again lotsa ponies seem scary at first like Cranky he was pretty mean to but then I did all this cool stuff but he-" An orange hoof was quickly stuffed into the pink mares mouth. "Sorry pinkie's alittle strange, but she means well enough." I nodded still trying to process what the pink pony had said. "By the way I haven't gotten any of your names yet." a few blushes and muttered apologies went around quickly, with each pony telling me their names I just remembered it simply. Orange: Applejack Pink: Pinkie Pie Cyan: Rainbow Dash White: Rarity Purple: Twilight Sparkle Yellow: Fluttershy "Well it's nice to formally meet you but I would like to get some sleep." the rest of them voiced their agreement, choosing to take one hour shifts through the night. I didn't really care though I just laid down on the floor in a corner of the bare room and fell right to sleep. Author's Note Looking for possible Ideas for the six sins powers and abilities/elements if you have any ideas post it in the comments and please give me your honest opinion on how iv'e written out Wrath's character. Thanks for reading and as a side not I may not be able to update regularly but I will be including parts from season four in this. The next chapter actually follows up on this. INKthefallen out. Controlled chaos and living destruction Controlled chaos and living destruction "If you prod a sleeping dragon, be ready to taste it's flames." -Unknown I was having such a nice dream, all fire and sulfer. But then I heard voices, not Pride's load boasting or Envy's whineing. No it was more of a hushed wisper, but I was awake now so why not listen in, I know I'm rude. "I still don't trust him, just look at him he's obviusly not a peaceful kind of guy, so why would he ask for it huh?" "Oh come on Rainbow, I bet he's just tired of it, If all you did was fight wouldn't you want alittle peace and quiet?" "Well-er..Hey this isn't about me! It's about him!" I could almost see the cyan pony flailing her hooves. "she's got a point dash If'n this here fellas as old as he says he is Ah sure would be tired of it too." Finally someon-er pony who gets it. "but you heard him Applejack he's a world killer!" Note to self: strangle Rainbow dash. "Hey silly why are your eyes closed?" "AAHHH."-thump-"ow." Pinkie popped into my narrow feild of vision, having suddenly whispered into my ear and selt me scrambling away from the closeness. "Jesus Pinkie! Give a guy a warning next time alright?" she giggled. "Okie dokie lokie!" Then she bounced yes bounced out of sight. I groaned and sat up rubbing my sore head. "So how about you collect your little trinkets and we go see the Princess?" I got a cold scowl and a few akward glances, before they all saddled up. haha saddled up, I'm funny! . We spent the next few minutes traveling again, with me in a blindfold, to a courtyard. We where quickly surrounded by guards and greeted by a Multicolored alicorn. Hah new words. Following close beside her was a smightly smaller blue alicorn. "Hello my little ponies, and you Grahm, This is princess Luna my sister and co-ruler of Equestria. Did you bring the elements?" The girls nodded. "Good let us begin." The girls stood close to Celestia activating the elements wich quickly became to bright for me to look twords, so I lifted a hand to sheild my eyes. Thats when shit got weird I felt a strange warmth in my throat and before I could question it, the sensation and light disapeared. when the spots left my eyes I saw a smug Celestia standing close to me. "what did you do?" she smiled alittle. "Lie to me." what? ah hell lets go for it. "The sky is blue...what the fuck?" My brow furrowed. "I can't lie to you anymore can I?" Her smile deepened. "Nor can you lie to Twilight and her friends, or my sister." Perfect. "so while Twilight and her friends go get ready for the summer sun celebration, we have some talking to do, Provided you won't harm me correct?" God she is manipulative. "Sure I won't hurt you." she turned tword the castle. "Then come we have much to talk about." oh this should go nicely. timeskip to finding the sick tree of harmony. I stood there Breathing hard, some firggan roots had crept up on me and Celestia and draged us through the dirt to some glowwing tree where Luna was being cocooned by even more roots. My body molten once again I bashed a burning fist into a massive root that had snared Celestia. "I HATE weeds!" I swung wildly shooting gouts of flame onto the braver roots, most of which shriveled in the intense heat I gave off. "Grahm please leave. these plants are going to capture you if you don't!" I grinned, my sharp canines glinting in the firelight. "Nah I think I'll stay here Its been awhile since I had a good fight." I felt a root wrap iteslf around my throught to which I replied with a nice bit of fire. Most of the roots had snared Celestia bit goos few still went after me. "Damn These are almost like Envy's Roots." I burned off a few more before running over an yanking on the roots that had snared Celestia. A good sized one whipped out and drug its thornes across my side, which actually cut pretty deep. "Damn that smarts." I grabbed the offending root and ripped it apart before setting it aflame. A few good sized roots sprung out nd held me down before a mass of the damned thing's blocked my vision and effectivly the oxygen I nedded to burn them. Then I passed out. Author's Note Sorry for the shortness but I had limited time, Just watched the season 4 opener and I gotta say I liked it, could have been better paced, but ehh. By the way I am looking for a beta reader so if your intrested (and know exatly hoe to do that and can explain it to me lol) I would really apreciate it. Magic and fireMost of the Canterlot Castle medical staff, had been called in and then scattered from the room Grahm had been placed in while unconscious, But when he awoke he had found himself with a needle inches from his bare skin. Now with Celestia on her way to fix the situation. Following close behind her was Shining Armor, on duty from the Crystal Empire. "So what exactly caused all this commotion?" Armor's voice was barley heard over the shouts coming from a few halls away. A heavy sigh escaped the princess, "I don't quite know, but as I was told he is being very...uncontrollable." The pair continued down the halls until they reached the specialized holding/treatment room. after dispelling the crowd around the door Celestia managed to get into the room, but what she found was probably hilarious, had the situation not been so dangerous. Inside was Grahm hiding behind an upturned gurney throwing random fireballs twords the determined nurse with the magic scrubber shot held in her hoof. "I'll tell you one more time! Just hold still and it won't hurt, its just protocol." The nurse showed a glare not unlike what Twilight would give discord, if he burned all her books. Grahm peeked over the gurney again fireball ready in his palm. "One more step lady-Just one more! and I swear to every higher power above me I will fry you! Celestia cleared her throat, which almost got her mane singed by a pyro happy-twitchy demon. "What is going on?" "He won't follow protocol!" "She's trying to stick me!" Had it not been for almost two thousand years of practice Celestia wouldn't have been able to decipher the near instant reply's. "Both of you are acting like spoiled foals, now how about instead of burning down the infirmary you both just leave each other alone." Both the nurse and demon nodded. "Now Grahm Please come with me." This time the solar god didn't wait for a reply. Grahm eager to get away from the needle, quickly followed the alicorn out of the room. Traveling through the castle into the empty castle gardens. Celestia made her way across the short cut green grass to sit at was obviously planned tea table fully stocked for a long, boring discussion. Celestia seated herself on a large cushion Grahm followed her lead, but kicked the pillow away before sitting. "Sooo why did you bring me here?" She stared at him, what she was looking for he had no idea. "I would like to ask why you didn't fight like I know you can, somethings made you weak what is it?" Grahm sighed and right before Celestia the immortal sun goddess seemed to grow old not physically but the very air around him seemed ancient. "Celestia I am a being of hatred and anger...this is a world of peace and harmony. Can you tell me what would happen if the sun was put out?" she thought for a moment. tapping a hoof on her chin. "Most of the alicorns have long since died out which means we are not inherently immortal, so if the sun was destroyed I would probably start to wither away without the near constant magic it gives me." "So without humanity's hate I have nothing to draw strength from, that and the near fatal transport here has drained me severely, I may act young and spirited, which part of me is...But even compared to me this planet is a newborn." the princess nodded, her eyes betraying her sorrow for the demon's plight. "So I owe you my life as does Luna, but how will we deal with this problem?" Grahm smiled some of the age slipping from him. "We won't, eventually I'll deplete my reserves and die." Her jaw hung open. "surely you cannot be serious-" "I am if I die here so far from the hate and anger that has banned my existence then I shall die in peace, as for the time between now and then I'll sit back and let life surprise me." With that he stood bowed to the princess and walked back into the castle halls. POV GRAHM It seems somber and cruel but in all rights I deserved to slowly wither away in agony for all the things I've done. From killing billions of innocent lives all the way down to insulting lust at every chance I could get. I sighed, then jumped when the pink bundle of random popped over my shoulder. "Hiya Grahm." I chuckled. "Hello Pinkie Pie." her grin faded a bit. "Why the long face?" ouch right in the heart, that little head cocking like that really just makes these ponies too cute." "Oh nothing Pinkie, just had a bit of a serious talk with the princess that's all." she made an O with her lips, nodding a bit before laying her head on my shoulder, still firmly clamped to my back. "You're warm." Her sleepy tone and slack muscles told me she was getting drowsy. "Is that a bad thing?" she snuggled her head into the crook of my neck. "Huh uh, Comfy." then she was asleep. I smiled and wrapped by arms under her legs to make sure she didn't fall off. I wound through the halls with the sleeping mare until I found the main exit and stepped out onto the Canterlot streets. While the haughty air of everypony (gets me every time) made the trip a little sour but the sight of the city itself was beautiful. Though most of the city was residential it had quite a few businesses thrown about. I got quite a few panicked looks and even had ponies full out run away. Pinkie stirring quickly drew my attention. "Hmmm where we at?" Geeze one dose of warmth and Pinkie becomes catatonic. "Well I got a few bits that I need to spend so I figured I go shopping, you were asleep so I just left you back there." She didn't respond for a while. "Twilight was wrong." I blinked, she hadn't even opened her eyes. "Twilight said you where bad because the elements turned you into a statue like discord. But I know that's not true. If you where really bad you wouldn't have been able to get out just like Discord." I grinned openly. "So what do the rest of you think of me hmm?" "She tilted her head trying to get comfy again. "Fluttershy is SUPER DUPER scared of you, Applejack thinks your lying to everybody but that spell Celestia used makes you always tell us the truth. Dashie thinks your a challenge but I think she likes having you around to make her work harder. Rares is almost as scared of you as Fluttershy is." I nodded. "So what do YOU think pinks?" For awhile she was quite while I walked through the market browsing goods and terrifying ponies. "I like you." Maneiac? My puns hurt. part 1Okay so when I got back from the market still carrying a sleeping mare, I didn't expect to meet the rest of the girls waiting for me at the castle steps, but I just ignored it for the most part. "I'm glad your back, we are ready to leave so if we could have Pinkie back?" I smiled at Twilight, even now she was afraid of me. "Sure just. Let. Me. Get. Pinkie come on you got to go!" I struggled with the practically welded on mare for a second or two before a bright flash removed her. All I heard from the pink fuzzball was 'My warm!?" before they set of for the train station, all saying goodbyes. And dragging Pinkie along with them. Walking back into the castle had I known how bored I would get over the next few weeks I would have begged to go with them. Three weeks four days six hours and fifteen minutes thirty three seconds, of pure unadulterated bordem. Even setting the random drape on fire didn't help me any either. But then Celestia told me Twilight needed help remodeling and restoring the old castle in the Everfree. which is why I was on the FUCKING GIRLY train headed for Ponyville. The cramped one pers-er-pony seats didn't make the ride comfortable but it was better than walking. "At least it's in the Everfree, reminds me of home." I sat brooding for a moment or two before the 'all ashore' was called and I let myself out of the too-small cabin and down onto the platform. I nearly laughed out loud at the pure panic my appearance caused. I looked around trying to find somepony who could give me basic directions, naturally I didn't want to spend all day wondering around the forest. "Ah mam! Could you give me some directions please?" The mind green mare just muttered something that sounded suspiciously like hands before bolting back into town. "Well... Ah screw it." I snapped my fingers and what looked like a a ghost of twilight made from red mist started the form the trot off almost looking like it was having a conversation. I quickly followed, and was lead down an old beaten path through the dark woods. The Heat Imprint trotting along without a care. I spent a good half an hour in that jungle before I saw the crumbled remains of a large castle, would have been impressive if I hadn't put quite a few of them in that state myself. A barley three feet wide rope bridge hung ahead of me. "Fuck that." I took a running lead and cleared the gap by about halfway before a loud Poomf and a cloud of smoke warped me the last ten feet or so. "Nailed it~" I winced a little at the sudden drop in my power, can't do that too many times. I walked into the large halls looking around it seemed to have been slightly cleaned up but before I could do anything I heard someone yell in the halls. I took off like a bat out of hell, cruising down every corridor until I found Futtershy trying to pull what looked like Pinkie from a glowing comic book. I made a swift grab for Fluttershy's tail and tripped over a pillow and tumbled in along with them. Author's Note I apologize for the long wait but the holidays have me pretty booked. So here have a snippet of the next chapter, on the house! Maneiac? Mypuns hurt. Part 2Part 2 When the bright light faded I found myself under a pile of ponies, none to pleased to be there I quickly shoved them off, in a gentlemanly manner. "Get the hell offa me!" they ended sprawled across the stre- "What the hell?" I put my hand down on the paved wonder, I took a quick glance around, it looked almost like Manhattan. Then I felt it, a massive surge of hate, not near what the real Manhattan had, but it was near twenty times what Equestria had. Spike and the girls where talking over in the middle of the street. I started to laugh, not an 'it was funny laugh, no this was from the gut scared happy relief. A booming laugh that drew the attention of everyone around me. "Dude are you alright?" Rainbow hovered above me in some ridiculous outfit but I didn't care just being in the place would expand my life by several thousand years in a few minuets. "I'm fine, No! better than fine I'm amazing! hahaha!" I would have kept on laughing and being stared at like a madman but I was pelted, in the face, by a postal box. The laughing died instantly. And the box started to melt. I let a grin split my face. "Who threw that?" My answer came from a green haired...Pony? I think her hair was like octopus arms, friggan weird. "I am Maneiac and none can stop me!" with a powerful swipe I was quickly tossed into a nearby shop which crumpled under my weight. When I yanked myself out of the rubble the girls and the freak were gone, taking no chances I used the opportunity to make my way to the most hate infested area of this pitiful city. most of it was alot like Equestria but in an old warehouse by a pier, how cliche, I found basically a cesspool of criminals and without a second thought I jumped out and started my messy job. By the end of the night I was having the time of my life, and these villains wished theirs were over. That's when I heard what sounded like Rarity scream and I took off, from roof to roof. I ended up inside a shampoo factory hanging in the rafters listening to that hair-freak monologue, then she turned that giant hairdryer on the girls I watched spike move a tarp around and I waited. Spikes little plan went pretty well up to the point when Fluttershy...well I'm not gonna go into that but it all ended pretty well, I got good and juiced so when that bright flash happened again I was pretty content. Until I ended up under a pile of pony again. So I ended up writing what I guess could be called a report to the Princess. after which I asked spike to send a not to Celestia for me, in secret. Author's Note okay the next chapter will be out soon okay so don't bite my head off and it will be normal length. A place to stayI was almost comfortable staying at the castle, almost. Most of the time it was okay, nut nothing ever happens around here most of the time its just nobles begging Celestia for crap they where to lazy to get. So naturally I took the best route available. "Please, Pleasepleasepleaseplease!" Yep I was following Celestia around begging her to let me go stay in Ponyville, I had been at it for near three hours. "Ugh, fine you can go. BUT if I hear one whisper of you causing trouble I will come down there myself understand?" I nodded and she gave me a ticket for the train. "Thanks I won't disappoint." I hate having to beg but I can't just tell her I had most of my world killing power back, as much as I hate to say it...I like it here. When I left the castle I was expecting a little mayhem, but no a few people even asked how I was doing. "Tch figures. I don't even scare them anymore." I sat at the train station my mood slowly going back to it's normal angry self. I watched some of these idiots wander around, obsessed with their next paycheck. "Man Greed would love this town." "Yeah I would huh?" I jumped up and spun around, there sitting on the bench was a orange earth pony wearing an expensive suit with pockets filled to burst with coins and jewels. His greasy mane was a bluish color, and he kept sweeping it over. "Long time no see, brother." Now I always hated Greed'es sleazy attitude but seeing him on par with my power nearly broke me. "Man Wrath, heh you ain't lookin so good." He stepped down of the bench. "Like the look? I don't. But hey what can a guy do? Oh bye the way Pride says you've got four weeks until he's ready to storm the castle and claim his new title." with a flip of a coin he disappeared. I flopped down on the bench and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "Shit like this is why I hate the world." At about nine the train rolled in, I handed my ticket to the conductor and boarded the train. I sat close to the last car as far from the pones as possible, I don't know why but the only ponies I feel comfortable around was Celestia, and Pinkie. Well I could probably get away with saying I was sort of calmer around Celestia because she basically represents the sun, which is a ball of fire. And I like fire alot. I tried to get a good view from the window but for Christ's sake the damn train is just to small. I sighed and got as comfortable as possible. When I arrived I was Greeted by six mares smiling deviously. "Oh man what now?" We ended up walking back to the library to discus my housing options and to 'Meet four very special ponies.' I was cautious, but I was kinda curious too. ~_______________________________________________________________~ I regret being curious now, I had been led to my doom. When I saw the library I was reluctant to go in, I am a walking furnace after all. But Twilight told me it would be fine. I was the last one to walk in and was immediately tackled by the same mint green unicorn from the last time I was in town. "Ohmygoshohmygosh! A human oh Bon Bon you can eat it because ~I am not crazy!~" she had started dancing around on my chest in circles, I couldn't really feel it but it was kind of annoying. "Excuse me-" I grabbed her by the scruff. "- but I would like to stand up." I lifted her up and deposited her onto a couch near me, don't ask me why a library had a couch. "Twilight mind introducing me to this mare please?" I pointed to the mint mare obsessing over where my hand had touched her. "Her names Lyra heartstrings, and she has been talking about humans for years, and it just so happens you match her descriptions almost perfectly." The girls had sat down, while spike ran off to brew tea. I decided to sit Indian style across from them. While I was chatting with them some one snuck into the library, namely three fillies. "CUTIE MARK MONSTER HUNTERS YAY!" I nearly went deaf when they jumped onto my shoulders trying to knock me over. Would have been surprising if they could. "Hmm if I had to guess you three are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, that I have been hearing about from Twilight?" The three fillies froze, stared up at me and nodded slowly. I smiled I had always had a soft spot for kids, Picking up the yellow one I placed her behind my head. Then I grabbed the other two and put them on my shoulder, orange on the left white on the right. "So what are your names?" I glanced at the mares standing beside me trying to judge their reactions to my sudden friendly demeanor. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow dash. I assumed they had some sort of connection to these fillies, relatives maybe? "Ah,m Applebloom." "I'm Sweetie Belle." "And, I'm Scootaloo." I tried to hold in a grin but damn it all, they are just to cute. Some old part of Me all beaten down inside was just loving these kids to pieces, which made the rest of me want to gag. "So girls now that introductions are over how about we get down to businesses. I need a place to stay any ideas?" They all shared some sort of look until. "Not it!" five voices called out...where was the sixth? "Not it!" Ah there it is. they all turned toward Rainbow Dash. "Ah geez can he even walk on clouds?" Walk on clouds? ~_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________~ "Okay this is a bad idea, why did I agree to this?" Rainbow and Fluttershy were holding me a few feet over RD's porch, which was made of clouds. "Oh come on you big baby its not that high up." I glared at the prismatic pegasus. "Say the girl with wings!" She just rolled her eyes. She looked to Futtershy. "Ready? One...Two...THREE." I only dropped about three feet before I landed on what felt like a wet pillow. I stood up marveling at the texture while the girls- Who where in a hot air balloon -discussing how to add an extra room to the cloud house. Are they drifting higher? Oh its me ... "Girls?" ... "Girls!" ... "GIRLS!" "WHAT" They all yelled in unison. then noticed I was just a head sticking out of the clouds. "When you come down to make sure I'm not dead, please bring a towel, I'd rather not be covered in blood." Then I popped out of the cloud...on the wrong end. Dirt meet Face!I fell a good few hundred meters before the girls could catch up, Rainbow of course was the first to meet me just out of arms reach. Unfortunately for me my larger body mass made it harder for her to keep up even with wings. I started a slow tumble around head over heels, until I was facing directly at the ground. "You've got to be kidding me." Unfortunately gravity doesn't have a very good sense of humor. I impacted the ground at roughly 120 MPH maybe? I'm not sure, I was dead for awhile. PONY POV Rainbow watched Grahm fall, she watched as she couldn't keep up and he was just out of reach. Then she watched his head explode across the ground. She stared in horror at the bits of brain and blood stuck to her coat. But the last thing she ever expected to see, even through all those tears pouring out of her eyes, was his body sitting up on his knees while what was left of its neck glowed like hot iron. "T-twilight whats happening to him?" Rainbow tore her eyes away from the demon to look at Twilight who had hopped out of the balloon basket. "I don't know but it looks like his head is regrowing." From the glowing sump a few links of spine emerged, quickly followed by a skull growing from that, and a jaw onto that. While his eyes refilled their sockets, his tendons and skin refitted themselves over the pearly white frame. When the last bit of skin on his nose sealed up he blinked and looked to the girls. "Ow." GRAHM POV I blinked again my eyes feeling itchy and dry. I was tackled by a cyan blur quickly followed by a pink one as well. Rainbow was babbling about not catching me and Pinkie was just bawling. I sighed, and wrapped my arms around them both, wasn't the first time this had happened and wouldn't be the last. I peeled them both off of me only to receive two powerful hoofs the the gut, I may have played it up a bit to make them feel better. "Never again." Rainbow muttered while she wiped the tears away. I glanced twords Pinks only to see her trying to hold back laughter. "What?" She gasped and barley squeaked out. "You-You're Bald!" sure enough, when I rand my hand over my head it was smooth and completely hairless. Just fucking perfect "Go ahead laugh it'll make you feel better." The sarcasm in my voice didn't stop them any and the laughing was infectious so I ended up laughing along with them. Until my brand-new throat started aching and I began hacking loudly. We all ended up going back to the library again to sort the whole mess out. 'So I absorbed the magic?" Twilight nodded "You said you couldn't draw on the hate in Equestria as readily as your home. At least that's what the Princess said. so instead of the hate, you draw on the magic readily available in smaller amounts." I smiled, well that's good to know. "Well thanks for trying Rainbow Dash, but I think I'll just stay here on the ground." She rolled her eyes. "How about we let you sleep here at the library for the night. You can sleep on the couch down here okay?" I nodded and glanced at the grandfather clock bye the door. It was late. "Well if that's the case- I laid down on the couch and put my arm over my eyes.- I am gonna go to sleep." I nodded off listening to the girls talk. I groaned as I slowly woke up, not wanting to get up. I laid their for a second before a burning warmth spread from my heart to my fingertips. Someone is feeling hateful! That sick twisted emotion that defined my very being, it's good to be king! I shot up off the couch my eyes nearly bulging out of my eyes. What the hell is wrong with me!? I am the fucking GOD of hatred why am out here making friends? A warm tingle filled my mind and I found myself not caring. NO! What the hell was wrong w- with? What was I thinking about? I almost relaxed when that burning returned and I finally figured it out. Someone is trying to suppress my mind.
Its so...VibrantMankind, they are violent distrusting and all around hateful. They create rules for themselves to try and make up for their inherently destructive nature, but most of the time they only cause more trouble to brew between each other. When the apocalypse fell it was't from nuclear war, or a giant asteroid. Hell they didn't even get four horsemen No mankind fell to its own seven deadly sins. See after awhile mankind just couldn't be corrupted anymore, in fact the personifications of six sins decided they where bored with them as a whole so they revealed themselves to the humans and declared the end of the world then they sat back and watched every single human across the planet... just... panic. but close to the end Pride the first sin got impatient so they came to me. Now normally we don't have any kind of order of command but all this destruction had made me...godly. On average Pride is the leader of the sins with Lust and Greed not far behind. But the one unspoken rule is, was and always be: Don't piss off Wrath. Or he might just destroy the world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I woke up in a crater, a big one too. six feet across I think. Most of it was charred and cold so I had to have been there a while, Standing up I swayed on my feet a little. Steadying myself I looked around at my surroundings, most of which was trees and shrubs. A faint sound in the distance like a mass of talking and moving drew me to the edge of the forest.when I stepped out of the forest I swear I wanted to strangle myself. Tiny technicolor talking ponies, yes ponies I can tell the difference. I'm not as dumb as Pride thinks. I sighed and started walking twords the small pony-infested village, Hopefully they wouldn't be able to see me like the humans. Passing into the town wasn't hard, even getting to the market was easy... but once I got to the market. Every single eye there instantly turned to me. "MONSTER EVERYPONY FOR THEMSELVES!" I didn't waste my time with trying to calm them down, no I sat down and leaned against a fountain in the center of the street. Didn't take them long before six colored ponies, two winged, two horned and to normal, showed up to try and get rid of me. The blue winged one was the first to try... and fail PONY POV. When Twilight and her friends found the "monster" instead of listening to Twilight's plan, Rainbow Dash charged the thing head on. And received a sharp slap to the face that sent her sprawling on the pavement. "Oh wha-what hit me." Rainbow complained as she rubbed her head with a hoof. Twilight was the first one to get to her after she sat up. "Rainbow you can't just rush in there we don't know what its capable of." Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Not every problem can be solved by thinking Twilight..." When Twilight looked back at the Creature she finally got a good look at it. It was tall even sitting down she could tell that much it had pale fur-less skin was bipedal and had a mane on its head it wore no clothes from the waste up but from its waist down was a pair of what looked like some sort of pants like a Minotaur wore at formal occasions. Its feet much like spikes where bare and clawed as were the claws on the end of its arms. The entire thing was well muscled but a large 7 was branded into the skin on the left side of its chest. Its face was flat with an apparent nose and from what she could tell sharp carnivorous teeth. Just behind the dark red bangs was a set of piercing blue eyes. "Girls I think its sapient." Twilight's words flew over most of there heads. Rarity blinked and scoffed "You mean that thing can think like us?" Just because she was a lady didn't mean she was dull. Twilight smiled "Yes that exactly what I think. though I wonder can it talk? "If your all done with your conversation Mind if I ask a few questions?" Six jaws dropped and one smiled. Wrath's POV____________________________________________________________________________________ "If you stay that way your gonna catch flies." My voice seemed to bring most of them out of their stupor, well almost the yellow one made a goat noise and fell over. 'that was...sad just sad' "You speak Equestrian?" The purple one was speaking. "If you could be so kind I would like to ask you to leave, your scaring everypony." I sighed. "No can do little Pony, I need to speak to the leader of this fine kingdom." At this the blue one started laughing so hard she was rolling in the dirt. " y-hahahah you talk t-to princess hahah Celestia bwahhaa." I let a sly grin slide onto my face. "Thanks for telling me who to look for." The laughter stopped almost instantly. "Now hold up there pard'ner I don't think we Trust yall enough to just let ya walk on into Canterlot." the orange one had a point. "And now I know where to go." I stood up stretching my back out. "Now if you'll excuse me I have an meeting with a certain princess." It didn't take long for the purple one to smack the orange one in the back of the head with a hoof. I looked back to the other three. "do you all have any input, Maybe point me in the right direction? No alright then I will see you all later." But when I turned to leave all I heard was a strange humming noise and then I was engulfed in a bright white light.
Demons and goddess just don't mixThis is the second time in the last few hours that I've been unconscious in the last few hours. Only Now I can't move...I can still see at least whats ahead of me, and I can hear so that's a plus. From what I can see I was in a throne room of some kind, the six ponies from before where talking in front of me. The purple one, I think they called her Twilight..something, was talking to a taller pony, er a winged unicorn with a, prismatic flowing mane? "Oh for fuck's sake, can this place get any more gay?" The ponies in front of me froze and turned to me. The first to speak was once again the purple one. "H-how did you...Your trapped in STONE, you shouldn't be able to see much lest Talk." Twilight babbled. I would have rolled my eyes if I could. "By the stars its just magic stone," I stretched easily shattering the stone. "If I couldn't destroy that inconvenience than I don't deserve the title of World Killer." I finished. Twilight looked terrified at the sudden shower of stone. "N-no the elements of harmony never fail...e-ever." In an instant the taller pony the unisus or whatever, landed between me and the six smaller ponies. "I am Princess Celestia Harold of the sun and protector of Equestria and who might you be?" Her words where polite but her tone could have cut diamond. I smiled, a wolfish grin really. My body started emitting heat my skins texture changing, now a stone shell super heated by the magma flowing through my veins. Cracks large and small webbed across my skin, small flames flicking out from them. My hair much like it's color became a small inferno. "My name is Wrath, and I am the Seventh and most deadly of mankind's sins, I rule no country or kingdom, no I am the king of anger and hate, I and I alone am responsible for war, and destruction. I am anger Incarnate," My appearance was slowly morphing back as I spoke I dropped to one knee and bowed as the last of my hair stopped burning. "And I am here to humbly ask if I may stay in the bounds of your country." Her astonished expression slowly morphed into a scowl. "Why would a Demon such as you ask for residence in a peaceful land in Equestria." I sighed. "Unlike the other six sins anger isn't an evil emotion just a negative one, I never asked for this responsibility, or power it's been part of me since the day I was born. I'm tired of all the problems it brings me. I wan't a little peace for the first time in over six billion years." Even the Princess' jaw dropped. "Six Billion years o-of violence how did you." I interrupted her. "Your majesty I Have died and been reborn so many times I have lost count of my age, even this old dialect is still new to me and the more modern speeches even more so. I have avoided death for six billion years while my siblings struggled for power." A few of the ponies where in tears, I wanted to roll my eyes but I kind of liked the sympathy. I kept my head down and stared at the floor, waiting for Celestia's judgement. "I will allow you to stay in Equestria on three conditions." My head perked up. "Name them." She smiled. "I will allow you to stay IN Ponyville under the supervision of the elements of harmony, second you shall pledge on your life to protect Equestria no matter the cost, and third tomorrow morning you shall be subjected to a single spell of my choosing fueled by the elements of harmony." I wanted to grin to jump up and shout for joy, but I let her continue. "For tonight however," She addressed the entire group. "You shall all stay in a large room where the Elements can guard you to the full extent of their abilities." Instantly the six ponies started to protest, a raised hoof from the princess however stopped them. "A guard shall escort you to the room, and you Wra-" "Please call me Grahm." "Grahm shall be blindfolded until you enter the room understand?" I nodded and Celestia waved over a guard. I didn't see anything afterwords but I know I was led through at least a mile of castle before I heard a door open and the blindfold was removed. I was greeted by six scowling ponies, Twilight being- wait she's got wings too? "How in the hell did I miss that? oh shit she been talking to me!" "-o we'ed like to know why your here. I know you didn't tell the princess everything." I groaned to my self." "Well my siblings will probably try to find me and use my power to destroy this planet just like they did back home but I died again when the planet exploded so I won't be back to full strength for awhile and they know this. This place may not be earth but anger exists everywhere so I think I'll be fine." The cyan pony suddenly jumped into my face. "And why should we believe you? all you've done so far is tell us your evil and that you blew up an entire planet why should we trust you? for all we know you could be a spy." She punctuated her sentence with a sharp jab to the chest with a well aimed hoof. "I may be evil but I am NOT a liar!" I grabbed her by the throat and heated up my hand a bit. "I don't care if you don't believe me I'm not gonna sit bye and be used as a weapon to kill another planet in cold blood." I dropped her where she spent the next few seconds mumbling something about her eye on me. then I noticed the stare I was getting from the white one. "What?" I snapped at her. she jumped a little but held herself high. "I was simply wonder why somepony like you would wear such atrocious clothing, you did call yourself royalty did you not?" I chuckled a little "Well I do have a crown but I don't like wearing it-" I could see twilight nod from the corner of my eye. "but as for these clothes I just don't own any others." She gasped and fell back-words onto a pillow that came seemingly from no-where. "Well if'n ya don't mind Ah got a few questions for ya." The orange one was the first one not to show me any hostility in awhile. "Sure but might I ask you something." She nodded. "Why arn't you angry with me?" She seemed to think for a second. "Well Ah'm the element of honesty I can always tell when somepony-er thing is lyin' and so far yall hadn't said nothin' but the truth." The rest of the girls looked a little upset by this but they didn't object. "Now first off who are these here siblins ya keep bringin up?" I swear I would have slapped myself but...yeah "Uh well lets see in order of power, its Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Lust, and Pride. they each stand for a very negative form of the emotion they are named after." the girls nodded. "So why are they so scary they just sound kinda mean, but then again lotsa ponies seem scary at first like Cranky he was pretty mean to but then I did all this cool stuff but he-" An orange hoof was quickly stuffed into the pink mares mouth. "Sorry pinkie's alittle strange, but she means well enough." I nodded still trying to process what the pink pony had said. "By the way I haven't gotten any of your names yet." a few blushes and muttered apologies went around quickly, with each pony telling me their names I just remembered it simply. Orange: Applejack Pink: Pinkie Pie Cyan: Rainbow Dash White: Rarity Purple: Twilight Sparkle Yellow: Fluttershy "Well it's nice to formally meet you but I would like to get some sleep." the rest of them voiced their agreement, choosing to take one hour shifts through the night. I didn't really care though I just laid down on the floor in a corner of the bare room and fell right to sleep. Author's Note Looking for possible Ideas for the six sins powers and abilities/elements if you have any ideas post it in the comments and please give me your honest opinion on how iv'e written out Wrath's character. Thanks for reading and as a side not I may not be able to update regularly but I will be including parts from season four in this. The next chapter actually follows up on this. INKthefallen out.
Controlled chaos and living destruction Controlled chaos and living destruction "If you prod a sleeping dragon, be ready to taste it's flames." -Unknown I was having such a nice dream, all fire and sulfer. But then I heard voices, not Pride's load boasting or Envy's whineing. No it was more of a hushed wisper, but I was awake now so why not listen in, I know I'm rude. "I still don't trust him, just look at him he's obviusly not a peaceful kind of guy, so why would he ask for it huh?" "Oh come on Rainbow, I bet he's just tired of it, If all you did was fight wouldn't you want alittle peace and quiet?" "Well-er..Hey this isn't about me! It's about him!" I could almost see the cyan pony flailing her hooves. "she's got a point dash If'n this here fellas as old as he says he is Ah sure would be tired of it too." Finally someon-er pony who gets it. "but you heard him Applejack he's a world killer!" Note to self: strangle Rainbow dash. "Hey silly why are your eyes closed?" "AAHHH."-thump-"ow." Pinkie popped into my narrow feild of vision, having suddenly whispered into my ear and selt me scrambling away from the closeness. "Jesus Pinkie! Give a guy a warning next time alright?" she giggled. "Okie dokie lokie!" Then she bounced yes bounced out of sight. I groaned and sat up rubbing my sore head. "So how about you collect your little trinkets and we go see the Princess?" I got a cold scowl and a few akward glances, before they all saddled up. haha saddled up, I'm funny! . We spent the next few minutes traveling again, with me in a blindfold, to a courtyard. We where quickly surrounded by guards and greeted by a Multicolored alicorn. Hah new words. Following close beside her was a smightly smaller blue alicorn. "Hello my little ponies, and you Grahm, This is princess Luna my sister and co-ruler of Equestria. Did you bring the elements?" The girls nodded. "Good let us begin." The girls stood close to Celestia activating the elements wich quickly became to bright for me to look twords, so I lifted a hand to sheild my eyes. Thats when shit got weird I felt a strange warmth in my throat and before I could question it, the sensation and light disapeared. when the spots left my eyes I saw a smug Celestia standing close to me. "what did you do?" she smiled alittle. "Lie to me." what? ah hell lets go for it. "The sky is blue...what the fuck?" My brow furrowed. "I can't lie to you anymore can I?" Her smile deepened. "Nor can you lie to Twilight and her friends, or my sister." Perfect. "so while Twilight and her friends go get ready for the summer sun celebration, we have some talking to do, Provided you won't harm me correct?" God she is manipulative. "Sure I won't hurt you." she turned tword the castle. "Then come we have much to talk about." oh this should go nicely. timeskip to finding the sick tree of harmony. I stood there Breathing hard, some firggan roots had crept up on me and Celestia and draged us through the dirt to some glowwing tree where Luna was being cocooned by even more roots. My body molten once again I bashed a burning fist into a massive root that had snared Celestia. "I HATE weeds!" I swung wildly shooting gouts of flame onto the braver roots, most of which shriveled in the intense heat I gave off. "Grahm please leave. these plants are going to capture you if you don't!" I grinned, my sharp canines glinting in the firelight. "Nah I think I'll stay here Its been awhile since I had a good fight." I felt a root wrap iteslf around my throught to which I replied with a nice bit of fire. Most of the roots had snared Celestia bit goos few still went after me. "Damn These are almost like Envy's Roots." I burned off a few more before running over an yanking on the roots that had snared Celestia. A good sized one whipped out and drug its thornes across my side, which actually cut pretty deep. "Damn that smarts." I grabbed the offending root and ripped it apart before setting it aflame. A few good sized roots sprung out nd held me down before a mass of the damned thing's blocked my vision and effectivly the oxygen I nedded to burn them. Then I passed out. Author's Note Sorry for the shortness but I had limited time, Just watched the season 4 opener and I gotta say I liked it, could have been better paced, but ehh. By the way I am looking for a beta reader so if your intrested (and know exatly hoe to do that and can explain it to me lol) I would really apreciate it.
Magic and fireMost of the Canterlot Castle medical staff, had been called in and then scattered from the room Grahm had been placed in while unconscious, But when he awoke he had found himself with a needle inches from his bare skin. Now with Celestia on her way to fix the situation. Following close behind her was Shining Armor, on duty from the Crystal Empire. "So what exactly caused all this commotion?" Armor's voice was barley heard over the shouts coming from a few halls away. A heavy sigh escaped the princess, "I don't quite know, but as I was told he is being very...uncontrollable." The pair continued down the halls until they reached the specialized holding/treatment room. after dispelling the crowd around the door Celestia managed to get into the room, but what she found was probably hilarious, had the situation not been so dangerous. Inside was Grahm hiding behind an upturned gurney throwing random fireballs twords the determined nurse with the magic scrubber shot held in her hoof. "I'll tell you one more time! Just hold still and it won't hurt, its just protocol." The nurse showed a glare not unlike what Twilight would give discord, if he burned all her books. Grahm peeked over the gurney again fireball ready in his palm. "One more step lady-Just one more! and I swear to every higher power above me I will fry you! Celestia cleared her throat, which almost got her mane singed by a pyro happy-twitchy demon. "What is going on?" "He won't follow protocol!" "She's trying to stick me!" Had it not been for almost two thousand years of practice Celestia wouldn't have been able to decipher the near instant reply's. "Both of you are acting like spoiled foals, now how about instead of burning down the infirmary you both just leave each other alone." Both the nurse and demon nodded. "Now Grahm Please come with me." This time the solar god didn't wait for a reply. Grahm eager to get away from the needle, quickly followed the alicorn out of the room. Traveling through the castle into the empty castle gardens. Celestia made her way across the short cut green grass to sit at was obviously planned tea table fully stocked for a long, boring discussion. Celestia seated herself on a large cushion Grahm followed her lead, but kicked the pillow away before sitting. "Sooo why did you bring me here?" She stared at him, what she was looking for he had no idea. "I would like to ask why you didn't fight like I know you can, somethings made you weak what is it?" Grahm sighed and right before Celestia the immortal sun goddess seemed to grow old not physically but the very air around him seemed ancient. "Celestia I am a being of hatred and anger...this is a world of peace and harmony. Can you tell me what would happen if the sun was put out?" she thought for a moment. tapping a hoof on her chin. "Most of the alicorns have long since died out which means we are not inherently immortal, so if the sun was destroyed I would probably start to wither away without the near constant magic it gives me." "So without humanity's hate I have nothing to draw strength from, that and the near fatal transport here has drained me severely, I may act young and spirited, which part of me is...But even compared to me this planet is a newborn." the princess nodded, her eyes betraying her sorrow for the demon's plight. "So I owe you my life as does Luna, but how will we deal with this problem?" Grahm smiled some of the age slipping from him. "We won't, eventually I'll deplete my reserves and die." Her jaw hung open. "surely you cannot be serious-" "I am if I die here so far from the hate and anger that has banned my existence then I shall die in peace, as for the time between now and then I'll sit back and let life surprise me." With that he stood bowed to the princess and walked back into the castle halls. POV GRAHM It seems somber and cruel but in all rights I deserved to slowly wither away in agony for all the things I've done. From killing billions of innocent lives all the way down to insulting lust at every chance I could get. I sighed, then jumped when the pink bundle of random popped over my shoulder. "Hiya Grahm." I chuckled. "Hello Pinkie Pie." her grin faded a bit. "Why the long face?" ouch right in the heart, that little head cocking like that really just makes these ponies too cute." "Oh nothing Pinkie, just had a bit of a serious talk with the princess that's all." she made an O with her lips, nodding a bit before laying her head on my shoulder, still firmly clamped to my back. "You're warm." Her sleepy tone and slack muscles told me she was getting drowsy. "Is that a bad thing?" she snuggled her head into the crook of my neck. "Huh uh, Comfy." then she was asleep. I smiled and wrapped by arms under her legs to make sure she didn't fall off. I wound through the halls with the sleeping mare until I found the main exit and stepped out onto the Canterlot streets. While the haughty air of everypony (gets me every time) made the trip a little sour but the sight of the city itself was beautiful. Though most of the city was residential it had quite a few businesses thrown about. I got quite a few panicked looks and even had ponies full out run away. Pinkie stirring quickly drew my attention. "Hmmm where we at?" Geeze one dose of warmth and Pinkie becomes catatonic. "Well I got a few bits that I need to spend so I figured I go shopping, you were asleep so I just left you back there." She didn't respond for a while. "Twilight was wrong." I blinked, she hadn't even opened her eyes. "Twilight said you where bad because the elements turned you into a statue like discord. But I know that's not true. If you where really bad you wouldn't have been able to get out just like Discord." I grinned openly. "So what do the rest of you think of me hmm?" "She tilted her head trying to get comfy again. "Fluttershy is SUPER DUPER scared of you, Applejack thinks your lying to everybody but that spell Celestia used makes you always tell us the truth. Dashie thinks your a challenge but I think she likes having you around to make her work harder. Rares is almost as scared of you as Fluttershy is." I nodded. "So what do YOU think pinks?" For awhile she was quite while I walked through the market browsing goods and terrifying ponies. "I like you."
Maneiac? My puns hurt. part 1Okay so when I got back from the market still carrying a sleeping mare, I didn't expect to meet the rest of the girls waiting for me at the castle steps, but I just ignored it for the most part. "I'm glad your back, we are ready to leave so if we could have Pinkie back?" I smiled at Twilight, even now she was afraid of me. "Sure just. Let. Me. Get. Pinkie come on you got to go!" I struggled with the practically welded on mare for a second or two before a bright flash removed her. All I heard from the pink fuzzball was 'My warm!?" before they set of for the train station, all saying goodbyes. And dragging Pinkie along with them. Walking back into the castle had I known how bored I would get over the next few weeks I would have begged to go with them. Three weeks four days six hours and fifteen minutes thirty three seconds, of pure unadulterated bordem. Even setting the random drape on fire didn't help me any either. But then Celestia told me Twilight needed help remodeling and restoring the old castle in the Everfree. which is why I was on the FUCKING GIRLY train headed for Ponyville. The cramped one pers-er-pony seats didn't make the ride comfortable but it was better than walking. "At least it's in the Everfree, reminds me of home." I sat brooding for a moment or two before the 'all ashore' was called and I let myself out of the too-small cabin and down onto the platform. I nearly laughed out loud at the pure panic my appearance caused. I looked around trying to find somepony who could give me basic directions, naturally I didn't want to spend all day wondering around the forest. "Ah mam! Could you give me some directions please?" The mind green mare just muttered something that sounded suspiciously like hands before bolting back into town. "Well... Ah screw it." I snapped my fingers and what looked like a a ghost of twilight made from red mist started the form the trot off almost looking like it was having a conversation. I quickly followed, and was lead down an old beaten path through the dark woods. The Heat Imprint trotting along without a care. I spent a good half an hour in that jungle before I saw the crumbled remains of a large castle, would have been impressive if I hadn't put quite a few of them in that state myself. A barley three feet wide rope bridge hung ahead of me. "Fuck that." I took a running lead and cleared the gap by about halfway before a loud Poomf and a cloud of smoke warped me the last ten feet or so. "Nailed it~" I winced a little at the sudden drop in my power, can't do that too many times. I walked into the large halls looking around it seemed to have been slightly cleaned up but before I could do anything I heard someone yell in the halls. I took off like a bat out of hell, cruising down every corridor until I found Futtershy trying to pull what looked like Pinkie from a glowing comic book. I made a swift grab for Fluttershy's tail and tripped over a pillow and tumbled in along with them. Author's Note I apologize for the long wait but the holidays have me pretty booked. So here have a snippet of the next chapter, on the house!
Maneiac? Mypuns hurt. Part 2Part 2 When the bright light faded I found myself under a pile of ponies, none to pleased to be there I quickly shoved them off, in a gentlemanly manner. "Get the hell offa me!" they ended sprawled across the stre- "What the hell?" I put my hand down on the paved wonder, I took a quick glance around, it looked almost like Manhattan. Then I felt it, a massive surge of hate, not near what the real Manhattan had, but it was near twenty times what Equestria had. Spike and the girls where talking over in the middle of the street. I started to laugh, not an 'it was funny laugh, no this was from the gut scared happy relief. A booming laugh that drew the attention of everyone around me. "Dude are you alright?" Rainbow hovered above me in some ridiculous outfit but I didn't care just being in the place would expand my life by several thousand years in a few minuets. "I'm fine, No! better than fine I'm amazing! hahaha!" I would have kept on laughing and being stared at like a madman but I was pelted, in the face, by a postal box. The laughing died instantly. And the box started to melt. I let a grin split my face. "Who threw that?" My answer came from a green haired...Pony? I think her hair was like octopus arms, friggan weird. "I am Maneiac and none can stop me!" with a powerful swipe I was quickly tossed into a nearby shop which crumpled under my weight. When I yanked myself out of the rubble the girls and the freak were gone, taking no chances I used the opportunity to make my way to the most hate infested area of this pitiful city. most of it was alot like Equestria but in an old warehouse by a pier, how cliche, I found basically a cesspool of criminals and without a second thought I jumped out and started my messy job. By the end of the night I was having the time of my life, and these villains wished theirs were over. That's when I heard what sounded like Rarity scream and I took off, from roof to roof. I ended up inside a shampoo factory hanging in the rafters listening to that hair-freak monologue, then she turned that giant hairdryer on the girls I watched spike move a tarp around and I waited. Spikes little plan went pretty well up to the point when Fluttershy...well I'm not gonna go into that but it all ended pretty well, I got good and juiced so when that bright flash happened again I was pretty content. Until I ended up under a pile of pony again. So I ended up writing what I guess could be called a report to the Princess. after which I asked spike to send a not to Celestia for me, in secret. Author's Note okay the next chapter will be out soon okay so don't bite my head off and it will be normal length.
A place to stayI was almost comfortable staying at the castle, almost. Most of the time it was okay, nut nothing ever happens around here most of the time its just nobles begging Celestia for crap they where to lazy to get. So naturally I took the best route available. "Please, Pleasepleasepleaseplease!" Yep I was following Celestia around begging her to let me go stay in Ponyville, I had been at it for near three hours. "Ugh, fine you can go. BUT if I hear one whisper of you causing trouble I will come down there myself understand?" I nodded and she gave me a ticket for the train. "Thanks I won't disappoint." I hate having to beg but I can't just tell her I had most of my world killing power back, as much as I hate to say it...I like it here. When I left the castle I was expecting a little mayhem, but no a few people even asked how I was doing. "Tch figures. I don't even scare them anymore." I sat at the train station my mood slowly going back to it's normal angry self. I watched some of these idiots wander around, obsessed with their next paycheck. "Man Greed would love this town." "Yeah I would huh?" I jumped up and spun around, there sitting on the bench was a orange earth pony wearing an expensive suit with pockets filled to burst with coins and jewels. His greasy mane was a bluish color, and he kept sweeping it over. "Long time no see, brother." Now I always hated Greed'es sleazy attitude but seeing him on par with my power nearly broke me. "Man Wrath, heh you ain't lookin so good." He stepped down of the bench. "Like the look? I don't. But hey what can a guy do? Oh bye the way Pride says you've got four weeks until he's ready to storm the castle and claim his new title." with a flip of a coin he disappeared. I flopped down on the bench and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "Shit like this is why I hate the world." At about nine the train rolled in, I handed my ticket to the conductor and boarded the train. I sat close to the last car as far from the pones as possible, I don't know why but the only ponies I feel comfortable around was Celestia, and Pinkie. Well I could probably get away with saying I was sort of calmer around Celestia because she basically represents the sun, which is a ball of fire. And I like fire alot. I tried to get a good view from the window but for Christ's sake the damn train is just to small. I sighed and got as comfortable as possible. When I arrived I was Greeted by six mares smiling deviously. "Oh man what now?" We ended up walking back to the library to discus my housing options and to 'Meet four very special ponies.' I was cautious, but I was kinda curious too. ~_______________________________________________________________~ I regret being curious now, I had been led to my doom. When I saw the library I was reluctant to go in, I am a walking furnace after all. But Twilight told me it would be fine. I was the last one to walk in and was immediately tackled by the same mint green unicorn from the last time I was in town. "Ohmygoshohmygosh! A human oh Bon Bon you can eat it because ~I am not crazy!~" she had started dancing around on my chest in circles, I couldn't really feel it but it was kind of annoying. "Excuse me-" I grabbed her by the scruff. "- but I would like to stand up." I lifted her up and deposited her onto a couch near me, don't ask me why a library had a couch. "Twilight mind introducing me to this mare please?" I pointed to the mint mare obsessing over where my hand had touched her. "Her names Lyra heartstrings, and she has been talking about humans for years, and it just so happens you match her descriptions almost perfectly." The girls had sat down, while spike ran off to brew tea. I decided to sit Indian style across from them. While I was chatting with them some one snuck into the library, namely three fillies. "CUTIE MARK MONSTER HUNTERS YAY!" I nearly went deaf when they jumped onto my shoulders trying to knock me over. Would have been surprising if they could. "Hmm if I had to guess you three are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, that I have been hearing about from Twilight?" The three fillies froze, stared up at me and nodded slowly. I smiled I had always had a soft spot for kids, Picking up the yellow one I placed her behind my head. Then I grabbed the other two and put them on my shoulder, orange on the left white on the right. "So what are your names?" I glanced at the mares standing beside me trying to judge their reactions to my sudden friendly demeanor. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow dash. I assumed they had some sort of connection to these fillies, relatives maybe? "Ah,m Applebloom." "I'm Sweetie Belle." "And, I'm Scootaloo." I tried to hold in a grin but damn it all, they are just to cute. Some old part of Me all beaten down inside was just loving these kids to pieces, which made the rest of me want to gag. "So girls now that introductions are over how about we get down to businesses. I need a place to stay any ideas?" They all shared some sort of look until. "Not it!" five voices called out...where was the sixth? "Not it!" Ah there it is. they all turned toward Rainbow Dash. "Ah geez can he even walk on clouds?" Walk on clouds? ~_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________~ "Okay this is a bad idea, why did I agree to this?" Rainbow and Fluttershy were holding me a few feet over RD's porch, which was made of clouds. "Oh come on you big baby its not that high up." I glared at the prismatic pegasus. "Say the girl with wings!" She just rolled her eyes. She looked to Futtershy. "Ready? One...Two...THREE." I only dropped about three feet before I landed on what felt like a wet pillow. I stood up marveling at the texture while the girls- Who where in a hot air balloon -discussing how to add an extra room to the cloud house. Are they drifting higher? Oh its me ... "Girls?" ... "Girls!" ... "GIRLS!" "WHAT" They all yelled in unison. then noticed I was just a head sticking out of the clouds. "When you come down to make sure I'm not dead, please bring a towel, I'd rather not be covered in blood." Then I popped out of the cloud...on the wrong end.
Dirt meet Face!I fell a good few hundred meters before the girls could catch up, Rainbow of course was the first to meet me just out of arms reach. Unfortunately for me my larger body mass made it harder for her to keep up even with wings. I started a slow tumble around head over heels, until I was facing directly at the ground. "You've got to be kidding me." Unfortunately gravity doesn't have a very good sense of humor. I impacted the ground at roughly 120 MPH maybe? I'm not sure, I was dead for awhile. PONY POV Rainbow watched Grahm fall, she watched as she couldn't keep up and he was just out of reach. Then she watched his head explode across the ground. She stared in horror at the bits of brain and blood stuck to her coat. But the last thing she ever expected to see, even through all those tears pouring out of her eyes, was his body sitting up on his knees while what was left of its neck glowed like hot iron. "T-twilight whats happening to him?" Rainbow tore her eyes away from the demon to look at Twilight who had hopped out of the balloon basket. "I don't know but it looks like his head is regrowing." From the glowing sump a few links of spine emerged, quickly followed by a skull growing from that, and a jaw onto that. While his eyes refilled their sockets, his tendons and skin refitted themselves over the pearly white frame. When the last bit of skin on his nose sealed up he blinked and looked to the girls. "Ow." GRAHM POV I blinked again my eyes feeling itchy and dry. I was tackled by a cyan blur quickly followed by a pink one as well. Rainbow was babbling about not catching me and Pinkie was just bawling. I sighed, and wrapped my arms around them both, wasn't the first time this had happened and wouldn't be the last. I peeled them both off of me only to receive two powerful hoofs the the gut, I may have played it up a bit to make them feel better. "Never again." Rainbow muttered while she wiped the tears away. I glanced twords Pinks only to see her trying to hold back laughter. "What?" She gasped and barley squeaked out. "You-You're Bald!" sure enough, when I rand my hand over my head it was smooth and completely hairless. Just fucking perfect "Go ahead laugh it'll make you feel better." The sarcasm in my voice didn't stop them any and the laughing was infectious so I ended up laughing along with them. Until my brand-new throat started aching and I began hacking loudly. We all ended up going back to the library again to sort the whole mess out. 'So I absorbed the magic?" Twilight nodded "You said you couldn't draw on the hate in Equestria as readily as your home. At least that's what the Princess said. so instead of the hate, you draw on the magic readily available in smaller amounts." I smiled, well that's good to know. "Well thanks for trying Rainbow Dash, but I think I'll just stay here on the ground." She rolled her eyes. "How about we let you sleep here at the library for the night. You can sleep on the couch down here okay?" I nodded and glanced at the grandfather clock bye the door. It was late. "Well if that's the case- I laid down on the couch and put my arm over my eyes.- I am gonna go to sleep." I nodded off listening to the girls talk. I groaned as I slowly woke up, not wanting to get up. I laid their for a second before a burning warmth spread from my heart to my fingertips. Someone is feeling hateful! That sick twisted emotion that defined my very being, it's good to be king! I shot up off the couch my eyes nearly bulging out of my eyes. What the hell is wrong with me!? I am the fucking GOD of hatred why am out here making friends? A warm tingle filled my mind and I found myself not caring. NO! What the hell was wrong w- with? What was I thinking about? I almost relaxed when that burning returned and I finally figured it out. Someone is trying to suppress my mind.
