Awoken Potential

"NO!" Garry dashed and grabbed his lover and her friend in an instant. There was no time to escape from the giant flame column that was about to engulf them all. On reaction he crouch down and braced both the mares, covering himself and the others as best he could with his wings. A faint lavender glow surrounded Garry whole body. The fames seem to gravitate away from him. Both Fluttershy and Twilight shut there eyes and scream for there upcoming death. But when death did not come for the two mares, they open there eyes to hear the sound of a roaring flaming around them. Garry strained to keep up his new power afloat.

Sounds of various animal screaming in unimaginable pain echoed all around them. The smell of burning flesh stained the air. Then as quick as it came, the smell, the agonizing sound of pain and suffering, the heat, the flame, stopped with out warning. Garry released her friends and gazed upon the carnage around them. Horror filled there very souls of what they saw. All around them was painted black with caracole. The body of chickens, pigs, rabbits and other animals sizzled. There muscle and bone exposed. Fluttershy shivered as her life, her home, and her furry friends were taken away from here with a heartbeat.

The Demon rolled in laughter, causing the horrified group to shoot there gazes back at him floating in the air grabbing his gut as he bellowed. "AHAHAHAHAHA!! Yes such success such-" He stop as he saw that his two Equatrian natives survived his onslaught of death. Anger replaced his sicken sense of joy.

"How! HOW!! YOU FUCKING PEICE OF SHIT, YOU FOOLISH AN-" He stop his angry rant, returning to a more calm state. He chuckled. "It seems you grow stronger since we parted from one another, how every interesting." He purred as he rubbed his chin. He desended to his masterwork of death. Garry stood, his fist clench. His body was visibly shaking not from fear, but as anger. This anger, no, pure wraith, was boiling within him. He felt something boil deep with in, something powerful and grand was being cooked up deep inside of him.

Suddenly Fluttershy collapsed to the ground, teasers rolling down her face her voiced quivered barely able to produce speech, "you-you monster... Why...Why w-would you..."

"Do this?" The demon gestured to his handy work. He smiled to himself as we kneeled down and picked up a rabbit that some white coat left. Its lifeless eyes told of pure pain before it died. The demon look at the rabbit. Then he open his mouth and took a massive mouth full of the white rabbits belly. Its intestines squished against the monsters razor sharp teeth. Blood splashed around from his jaw and hands..

"Because," He talk with his mouth full, "I was hungry and I was bored." Fluttershy eyes dilated at the sight. Her ears faltered. She screamed a blood curtailing scream.

"AAAAAAANNNNGGGGGGLLLLLLLEEEEEE BOOOOONNNNNNYYYYYY!!!!!"

Twilight couldn't move. The sight of everything was to much to bear. Then suddenly, her stomach gave out. Her bile burned as it exited from her muzzle. Tears started to roll her face as well. "How...How can this happen...why couldn't I..." Twilight stammered, coherent thoughts were out of the question for Twilight.

If this keeps up he's gonna level everyone. Garry thought. He looked over to the petrified ponies. His fist glow in a familiar lavender color hue. I have to protect them, at any cost....

"Run..." Garry said in a low almost whisper voice to Fluttershy and Twilight.

That got both of the mares out o there trance. Twilight look at Garry stupefied, "W-wha-?"

Garry gave one giant thrust of his wings and bulleted at the demon. His fist cocked and ready to strike. Before the vile creature could say another word, his face met with a right hook with a force that could topple a tree. His body flew from the impact, dropping his meal. Immediately after Garry first strike, he threw a left hook. Making contact with a sonic clap of flesh hitting flesh and bone. The demon grunted in pain as it flew against the opposing force. Landing on he's back with a hard thud. on the blacken ground.

Garry landed on his feet, his fists burned with the impact of flesh and bone. He looked over his shoulder at screamed at the two bewildered mares. "GOOOOOO!! With out hesitation the two mares galloped away from the scene. He looked back at the disgruntled demon. Okay, they should be safe as long as I can keep him at bay, If I am feel this kind of power, surely everyone else here can too right? He walk in stride to the shadow figure. He puff out his chest to increase his small size.

"You think you can take lives and get away with?" The creature struggled to get up, grunting as it got to his knees. Garry saw an opening and went for it. With another great flap of his wings he sped towards the demon. He raised his knee and pounded it straight into his chest. The demon reeled from the impact. With enough momentum still carry the two of them, Garry heaved back tilting his wings to send them both into the the air at mach speeds. A sound of pain come out of the hell spawn as Garry flew past it. Then only a half mile away Garry stopped and waited with one fist closed around the other. Only waiting for two seconds the demon came to view.

With All of Garry's might, he slammed his fists into the deadly creatures face, causing it spike to to the ground like a volley ball. Garry gave chase. He position his body so that his feet point to the ground, legs pressed together and his arms raised behind his head, is wings flared up and past his head. He look like a living arrow. An arrow that was pointed directly to the demon that was plummeting at the ground. The demon hit the ground at megaton levels, followed by Garry landing on its chest, causing a powerful gust of wind to push back the derby left on the battle field. Dirt and ash erupted around the two combatants.

When the dust cleared, Garry grabbed the demon by the throat, and bring him in close to his face. "Well think again, agents of destruction!" Garry growled at his advisory. The demon spat black blood into his face. Garry winced at the body fluid.

"So," he coughed as he spoke in a dark tone. "I see you can do some fancy thing ay?" He put a hand on Garry's arm. "Well then, Mr. Angle," he squeezed his arm with pressure that would of crushed a normal human into mush. Garry let go of the demon screaming in pain. Garry could here his bone starting to give to the incredible pressure. The demon shoved him away. Garry stumbled and await something else to happen, but that came was nothing.

"So this is the Garry that I keep hearing about? The alien that has wings and has the strength to chop down a tree with his bear hands? Pah!" He shook his head folding his arms. "These ponies have such a way with rumors don't you think?" Garry charged, swinging at him with a left hook. The demon dodged Garry with his arms still crossed. "You know Garry?" The demon queried as he ducked from Garry's crescent kick. Upon recovery, Garry tired to elbow strike his opponent in his chest. But it seems the demon say this follow up from a while away, With a single hand grasped Garry's elbow.

"Can you feel it Garry?" His hand grasp harder on Garry's elbow. Garry felt like he was being torn apart from the inside out. Out out thinking Garry threw off the demon grip, then did a cut kick to give some some breathing room. The demon stumbled back. "You and I, were the same," he pointed pack and forth between them, "We both have so much potential, well more me then you, but thats besides the point." he raised a claw like a professor that made a major discovery, "The point is my winged friend is that this place is plum full of ponies to have fun with," He said with a wicked grin.

"Fun?" Garry repeated. "You think mass murder and world wide panic is fun?" He spat out.

The demon hissed, "Oh and you think laying around fucking horses, and play my little experiment with the whore of a creature is better? My my how the mighty have fallen." He tsk at Garry. "Well, it seems we got to fix that now shall we."

The demon pounced at Garry like a wild animal. He raised is forearms to defend himself, but to no avail. The force knock the duo in the skies. With a shriek of pane the demon dug his claws deep into Garry's shoulders. Crimson blood oozed from the new wound. With a full three sixty spin, The powerhouse of a foe lunge Garry into the burned wreckage of whats left of Fluttershy's Cottage. Garry hit the wreckage with a varies crunches of burnt wood, causing to gain more cuts and bruises. The wrest of the cottage fell on top of him, pinning him.

The angle struggle to get free, know full well that the demon would hunt him down. Moments later Garry heard a sound of a clap, and the surrounding wood blew past him with gushes of violent winds. He struggled only to get heaved of the ground from his air. He a scream in pain. The demon paid no attention as he levitated into the air.

The demon let go of Garry only to be replaced by a quick blow to the get. Garry let out a painful exhale. Then a furry of punches and kicks faster then the eye could track bombarded Garry, keeping him afloat in the air. Garry tried to block his opponents constant punishment. But it seems that the demon was wearing him down, only punching broken and bruised parts of his body, ribs, his fractured arm, and his face. His face was bloodied and swollen. His left eye was swollen shut. He felt his ribs were on fire and breathing was labored for him. Even the pulsing adrenaline could not stop the pulsing messages of pain. Garry noticed from the corner of his eye that the two of them were slowly drifting towards Ponyville.

He felt himself be grabbed by his wings. Garry looked back in horror with is good eye. "All the best Angels must fall from heaven don't they?" With an angered grin, the demon gave a quarter twist. Garry screamed in agony, his brain on fire from the overpowering stimulus of pain. The demon took it upon himself to start to spin himself and Garry around and around, gaining speed faster and faster. The demon could here the bones and muscle meshing together in a symphony of pain.

With enough centrifugal force, the demon threw Garry straight at the Ponyville Town Hall Clock. Garry heard the sounds of wood, metal, glass and bell tones as he crashed into the clock and came out the other. He hit the ground with enough force to cause a small human sized crater.

Garry couldn't move, couldn't see. The only sense he could manage was his hearing. The sound of a loud ring is all he could hear. but after a few moments he could hear the soft shrill of ponies voice in wide spread panic, growing louder and louder. He could hear foot steps come closer to him. He knew those foot step. He braced his body as best he could for another onslaught of pain. He felt himself lean upward. Then the strangest thing happened. He felt someone press there back to his crumpled one. He turned his head to see the demon sitting against him one knee bent to give support to one of his resting arms. He look as if he was out on the beach enjoying the sunshine.

"You know Garry," he started, his tone not as dark nor malicious as before, "I have the upmost respect from you, being here with these simple minded ponies." The sound of panic and smell of derby was in the air, but Garry didn't notice, he was to confused and to much in pain to notice his surroundings, the only sound he could comprehend was the voice of a different creature he just fought with moments ago.

"I mean, I could never live with these animals, to blegh!" He turn his head slightly to meet the gaze of Garry. "That is until you decided to go native on me.." He waited for Garry to respond, when nothing come out of the angels lips, the demon continued. "I really wish this would of gone differently, really I would," He said sounding as humble as he could. He looked straight ahead to see ponies all staring at the the two. "I just wanted your -ahem- purple lady friend, but you got to be a stupid Guardian Angel to her. And know look 'ach ya." He looked back at him, a disappointed look on his face. Garry turn his head back, hanging low coughing up blood. The demon smiled at the sight.

"And that," He started to get up. Garry's dead weight cause him to fall to the ground. The demon dusted himself off as he continued. "Is my cue ladies and gentlemen of the equine race." His voiced start to get loud. Garry felt his breath cut short as he felt palms grasping his windpipes closed. He was slowly lifted off the ground, reeling and shivering in pain.

"Behold your new lord of this land!" He bellowed as his free hand started to glow, turning into a black spear point. He trusted his new spear arm towards Garry's heart. Ponies gasp in horror as for what they were about to see.

Just then a golden and a dark blue beams of magic hit the demon, causing the shriek and stumble back. His arm drop to the ground, black blood gushed from his open wounds. Garry dropped to his knees ground like a bag of potatoes. His lung burned as he inhaled deeply, greatly appreciating oxygen back into his beaten body.

"PRINCESSES! GAH!! UNTIL NEXT TIME GARRY ANGEL, UNTIL NEXT TIME!" The demon bellowed as the turned into a cloud of black mist and retreated away from the scene. Garry's vision start to fade to black. He heard the the sound of clopping hooves galloping towards him. He turned his head to see a purple haze followed by a bright white and a dark blue coming towards him.

"Twili-"Garry said in a raspy voice before he collapsed onto Twilights back.
