Equestrian Demigod

I looked at Twilight. She had a look of disbelief plastered on her face.

   I smile at her look. “Yup, that’s the life of a demigod. Except, I died younger than most.” She still looked like her jaw was going to fall onto the floor, so I close her mouth, causing her to snap out of her trance.

“I’m sorry! Your life must have been terrible!” I was taken back by her sudden change in demeanor. One minute she was her normal friendship loving princess, the next she was crying at my life’s story.

  “Hey, Hey. No need to cry. My life isn't all bad. I've made friends since then. I met my two half brothers, one turns out to be a peanut butter loving cyclopes, and I made friends with the Romans who for one reason or another, hated the Greeks, but I've had a great life.” I looked at her with a smile. “When I came here, you have no idea how confused and scared I was. But I have to hand it to Hecate. Because she sent me here, I met you, the other 5 mares, Luna, Celestia. I also fell in love. Something that I thought would never happen this soon.” Next thing I know, I ran right into a wall. It was a solid cedar wood wall. How do I know what type of wood it was? Because I had to wait 4 hours for Green Arrow’s mother, AKA Moira Queen, to pick out a Cedar wood door for her front door. Longest 4 hours of my life. “Why in Hades’ Hell do I keep running into walls?” I got up rubbing my face. I heard stifled laughter coming from Twi. “Not a gods damn word out of you, Sparkle.” That barely worked as her stifled laughter fit died down.

  “I’m sorry Logan. That was too funny. Oh, we’re here.” She looks around with a smile still plastered on her face as she realizes that we were at a train station of sorts. “You wait here, I’ll go get us some tickets to Canterlot. Spike, care to write Princess Celestia that I’m going to pay her a visit? And don’t forget to tell her I’m bringing a guest.” Spike gave a salute, grabbed a quill and ink as he began to write.

    “I hope they’re not mad at me…” I spoke under my breath, but Spike managed to hear me.

    “I’m sure everything will be fine Logan. No need to worry.” Spike gave me a reassuring smile that did little to help calm my nerves.

     “I got the tickets!” I heard Twilight yell near the train, basically telling us to get over there before the train leaves.

   Several hours later, I arrived at Canterlot with Twilight and Spike. “What’s with all of the security?”I ask Twilight after a brief glance around the station. She looked just as confused as I was.

   “I think it’s the princesses. I think they had guards posted in case something goes awry.” I looked at her with an annoyed look.

   “I feel so very trusted. Now, if you’ll excuse me.” I got up and went to the back of the car before stepping out and closing the door. ‘Thank Artemis it’s near dark. And I’m glad I kept this in my bag. I hope it still fits.’ I changed into the suit that had been given to me by Batman. It was a solid black suit with a red bat on the front. It was a prototype of a suit that Bruce had been building for a few years. After putting it on, I climbed to the top of the car and hid in the shadows.

“I wonder where Logan disappeared to? He’s been gone for a while.” I looked around trying to see if I can spot him in the crowded train car. ‘I hope he isn't in any trouble.’ After a few seconds, the train slowed to a screeching halt. Then, before anypony could disembark, a large group of Celestia and Luna’s personal guard burst in through the door.

“Logan! You are under arrest by order of Princess Luna and Celestia! Come quietly, or we will use deadly force. This is your only warning!”  I gasped in horror. The pony outside finished his little speech demanding Logan’s surrender. A guards pony walked up to me and escorted me out of the train. I looked to the soldier and demanded her name. “I am Starnight Shine, your Highness. My fellow squad and I were ordered by the princesses to bring the Human, Logan, into custody to answer for his crimes against pony kind.” I looked at Starnight in shock.

“Logan! You are under arrest by order of Princess Luna and Celestia! Come quietly, or we will use deadly force. This is your only warning!” ‘Shit! Not now! I need to get out of here!’ I looked around to find a different hiding spot to formulate a plan.

  “Look! There he is! Get him!” I looked behind me and saw a small group of guards ponies running at me. I reached into the utility belt and pulled some smoke bombs. I threw them onto the ground before I jumped to the side of the train car and bolted out of the immediate area. “I think I lost them. Now, how do I get to the princesses without dieing?” I spoke to myself as I pulled the mask off of my face and stared at the scene around the train. “This is not going to look good for me. Not at all.” I put the mask back on and then slowly backed into the shadows.

  “Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!” I yelled Happily as I ran to them.

  “Hello dear Twilight. I’m sorry you have to go through this. We want to thank you for bringing the human to us.” I looked at them in shock. ‘What?! What did spike put into that letter?!’

  “But, I didn't bring him here so he can be captured, I brought him here so he ca-” Before I could finish, guard ran to us.

  “We lost him, your Highness. He got away in a cloud of smoke.” The guard looked at us before bowing his head in shame.

  “Do not worry My Little Pony. We will find him. Then he will pay for what he has done to Lulu.” I must have had a look of fear on my face because Princess Celestia was asking me if I was OK, but I barely heard her through the shock my mind had succumbed to. Before long I passed out.

“Twilight! Twilight, can you hear me? Twilight, wake up!” I looked at my older sister as she tried to get her faithful student to wake up. I eventually grew tired of hearing her attempts at waking the unconscious princess, so I walked over to her and told her that we should take young Twilight back to the Castle for the night and resume our search in the morning for the human. ‘Why did he attack me that night? Why? He wasn't himself. I need to” I was snapped out of my thoughts as Celestia waved her hoof in front of my eyes. “I’m sorry sister. I was in thought about the events that have transpired over the past few days.” Tia looked at me solemnly with a sad, knowing nod.

  “I understand Lulu. I understand.” Celestia spoke with sadness in her voice as she leaned over and covered m body with her wing in an embrace. We then made our way back to the castle as the guards continued their search for the being I fell head over hooves for. ‘There has to an explanation. There has to be!’

I managed to escape the train station and now I am making my way to the Canterlot Castle, where I can hopefully talk to Celestia about that night. Hopefully.

  After an hour of sneaking and hopping from rooftops I managed to make it to the outer perimeter of the castle. I pulled a grappling hook from my belt and made sure I was in the clear before I fired it at the window I was hopping would be Celestia’s. Soon I was rising through the air at a fast pace, but stopped once I reached the window. I looked inside the room to see it was empty. I managed to open and crawl through the window before ducking into the shadows when I heard voices coming closer to the door.

“Celestia, for the last time, everything will be fine. So you need to put the cake down and stop eating before you gain 50 more pounds. Ok?” I heard Luna talking to her sister as they came into the room. ‘Thank Hades that this suit is black.’ I continued to watch the sisters talking from my vantage point in the shadows of a closet. “I know you fear for our safety, but there is no way he got past the guards posted at every corner at the castle. Now, please calm down and get some sleep, you have a big day in the morning. Ok?”

“Alright. Fine. You win Lulu. I will get some sleep.” Luna left the room to go watch over Equestria during the night.

“Your sister was wrong you know. It was very easy to get in here.” I walked out of the closet after a startled Celestia turned on the lights.

  “W-W-Who are what are you? Get out now before I obliterate you!” I pulled off my mask as I walked over to the scared mare. “Logan?! Don’t kill me! Please don’t! I have family, friends! Please I beg of you.” The mare soon became a sobbing mess after her quiet please of safety.

“I’m not here to kill you. I’m here to talk. I never wanted to kill any pony.” Celestia slowly rose her head up to look at my face with slight tears running down it. “I never want to kill an other again. Never again will I kill again.” Memories flashed through my head of when I killed the Injustice League. “Never again.” I was reduced to a shaking, sobbing mass as I dealt with the memories of that tragic week.

“Celestia, are you ok? I heard voices. Celestia, I’m coming in.” I barely noticed Luna as she opened the door to see me in my infamous fetal position with me body slumped forward on my knees with my head in my hands. “Logan! Celestia, what in tartarus happened in here!?” I looked up at Luna.

  “Don’t worry Luna. I was just leaving. I want to talk to you two in the morning without the guards trying to kill me. Ok?” I got up on shaky legs and walked to the open window. I was about to put my mask on and jump out, but was stopped but a cry from Luna.

   “Logan! Don’t go! Please! What’s the matter?” I looked back at said pony who had some tears beginning to form in her eyes. I sighed a deep and terrible sigh.

   “You want to know what happened? Well, here’s what happened. I killed 7 defenseless beings in the same manner that I almost killed you two and Luna with. They hurt someone close to me, I snapped and killed every one of them. They were the Injustice League. An evil group bent on enslaving the world for their own personal vendettas. They killed hundreds of millions of people in an attack that spanned a single month. Me and a group of 7 superheros called Justice League went to stop them, but they knew we were coming. The captured and tortured us for fun. One day, they went too far and almost killed my girlfriend right in front of me. I lost it. I summoned my sword and broke out of my bonds within seconds. I went up to the sick and twisted fiend who calls himself the Joker and beat him in the same manner he beat Artemis. I punched him in the gut so many times, I felt his organs rupture, I kicked his face so hard, I cracked his skull. Then he started laughing. A sick, twisted, victorious laugh that made me pick him up by his collar. I can still see his broken and bloody face as he spoke his final words. ‘Feels good doesn't it? To let out your anger. You've wanted to kill me, now do it! I-’ He didn't get much farther than that before I grabbed his throat and crushed his neck bones to powder. Then came the rest of their group. I picked up my sword and Killed them all. The worst of them all was when I killed Poison Ivy. She was the last one left. She used her powers over plants to try and stop me. Vine after Vine she threw at me, but it wasn't enough. I cornered her in the swamp that their base was hidden in. She tried to fend me off by throwing kicks and punches at me, but I blocked them all. I eventually caught one of her kicks, then threw her to the ground before committing unspeakable acts on her body. All the while the Justice League watched on in horror, unable to stop me. I knew what I was doing. And I LIKED it! That’s what scares me the most. I enjoyed torturing then killing these people. After I finished killing Poison Ivy, I turned to the Justice League. We began to fight. 7 on one. And I won. They were the most powerful beings on the planet. And I beat them.” I finished what I was saying before looking at the two princesses, expecting their faces to be ridden with shock, horror, then anger. But no, they looked at me with sadness. I fell to my knees for the second time that night, before the princesses tried to comfort me. No matter what they said, I still had an evil in me that will never go away. I had to live with the Nightmare inside.
