The Hellonic Blades: Lord of the Waters
Maybe you should try finding something other than small fries.
"You try it," I muttered under my breath, "The damnable body this world has given me requires an absurd amount of rest." It was true. When we had entered this world, I, the eldest brother, had been left unmarred aside from a body issue. My brothers had been reduced to mere gems on my scabbard. This had still failed to stop their arguing.
Calm down Aquarium. Blaxen merely wishes to return to his bishie form.
I covered my snort with a cough. Gaen was right. Blaxen had vanity issues. He just liked to deny them.
I do hope you will stop arguing. I may be the youngest but I'm certainly not the loudest.
"Aeth, be quiet. I get that you want to be a gentleman, just shut up. It's getting ridiculous," I muttered. Gaen and Blaxen nodded right along with me. Aeth immediately went silent.
I sighed and continued my nigh pointless task of killing the little bastards in front of me. Let me explain. In our old world, there were many kinds of demons. In order from first to last they had, A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, X, S. A being the lowest, S the highest. This meant we met hundreds upon hundreds of mid-levels in our world, a very corrupted one. On the other hand, I had been in Equestria for nearly four centuries and had yet to encounter anything higher than a 3. They got quite uncommon the higher you went.
I myself had certain flaws. For instance, my stature. Originally it wasn't an issue, now in Equestria, it causes me certainly causes problems. For now, flaws aside, I was the one my brothers relied on. A smile came to my face and I looked back to the demon in the middle.
Holy shit... Is that?
An X-class Demon? Yes it is. From what I can tell it might be an Itsumade, a fire-breathing bird.
"So... Aqua Slice will be effective?" I muttered under my breath, still in the battle ready stance.
Very. It's core is of literal fire.
"Hehe. This could be fun," I muttered. With a burst of fire flurrying past, I jumped sideways and slide on the ground. Another flurry flew past. My slide brought me far enough to dodge it and I leapt into the air. Yet again, it missed. "...Does this thing even have the ability to aim?"
Another flurry missing was my answer. I sighed and arched my blade downward.
AQUA SLICE
The blade curved straight to the heart of the beast which, like a typical demon, turned into pure energy that I absorbed and the body dropped. Looking down at it, I pondered something.
"Did that feel... wrong to any of you?" I asked my brothers.
Developing a conscience are we?
"Towards these things?" I gestured towards the body, "As if. Baken!" I yelled out. Moments later, a demon popped from the ground.
"Yes Milord?" The cat-demon asked, still in his butler uniform. Bakenekos, a rare form of cat-demon, are shapeshifters and love to serve. If you were lucky, one might like you an choose you. They do expect to have in-dependency, but their cat traits are far less pronounced. Baken was a usually in human form
"Call the Kasha, they have an X-class body to dispose of before the ponies see it," I said, glaring off towards the massive castle in the woods. The butler nodded and whistled in a pitch too high for most creatures. After the Kasha had taken away the body I made my way towards the castle. As I did, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.
Near one of the windows a Kiyohime, a serpent demon from unrequitted love, was staring into it. Her tail swung back and forth as she watch what I can only assume, from later knowledge, was Luna crying about her subjects use of the night. The Kiyohime was giggling and speaking into the pony's mind.
"Come now. They don't love you... You love them and why should you? They insult your creation by sleeping it away. Why should they experience the day when they barely acknowledge the night?" The taunts lengthened and I stepped forward.
"Another demon. An S-class. I know your kind, Kiyohime and they are not welcome," I spoke. The crying from the room she was perched by stopped.
"Who are you?" She asked, looking at me trying to pierce my mind. "You should have fallen into my trap..."
"I suppose an introduction is necessary. I am Aquarium, Hellonic Blade, Lord of the Waters," I said, posing dramatically.
"Ha. As if. Lord Aquarium is dead. You look nothing like him," she said, still hanging from the window.
"Dead? Who said I was dead? Is Lucifer starting rumors again?" I asked, being as outright weird as possible.
"I don't care who you are, don't pretend o be my lord! I am Nightmare, fiance of Aquarium!" She yelled as her face burned red.
Aquarium, why didn't you tell us this?
Yeah bro. I need to plan your bachelor party. Let's see, booze...
Congratulations on your happiest of days.
"She's not my fiance!" I groaned. "She is a weird, stalker, yandere, Kiyohime. We have to get rid of her." I peeked up at her.
"Hah! Being rid of me won't be that easy!" With that she jumped into the window and landed on something blue.
"LUNA!" A yell came from the room above us, a rather loud yell. We knew who it was from our first few decades in Equestria. It was Celestia, Luna's older sister.
"Well shit..." My brothers and I thought in unison. A large white alicorn dove out of the window and I ran for the hills before it landed on top of me. "Still tanking the cake I see Celestia."
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME FAT?" She yelled.
I sighed, "Yes. You need to eat less cake. I feel like an elephant is sitting on me." I braced myself for the impact.
"HOW DARE YOU. Who are you to call me fat?" She glared at me. If looks could kill...
I'd have died long ago. "Aquarium? You know? Crazy water guy?"
"Who?" She asked.
I sighed. We had met back when her father still ruled so it made sense. After all, EVERYTHING was different. Including my view of ponies. "Never mind. Just, get off me please."
"YOU DARE TO CALL ME FAT AGAIN?" She picked me up with her magic and bucked.
"WOOOOO!" I noticed what I was heading for. "AGH! SHIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!"
With a kersplat my brother spoke up.
Having fun?
"Shuf up," I muttered.
That, of course, was when Discord spoke up. "You know, that was impressive. Pissing off Celly that much."
"Discord, be quiet," I answered.
"Its not just me. I've got Mr. Tirek her too. And Sombra. We'd like to talk to you about... an alliance of sorts."
"And what, pray tell, do you mean?" I asked, looking at the three.
"You help us, and we'll let you have the NIghtmare. And... something special," Tirek said, gesturing upwards.
"I agree. If you let me have the NIghtmare, I care less what you do. Stab me in the back..." I shot a blade of ice out of my hand and it speared a tree arced upwards and stabbed a cockatrice. The cockatrice glared at me and I stared back. Within seconds, I overpowered its strength and turned into an icicle.
