Author's Note

In this chapter there will be a song I recommend you listen to. It sets the tone and battle for Demon Earth Pony Xeris Arc and Threstralis Unicorn Angel Caster.

You can find it on Spotify or Here on Youtube but is less epic. It is called Orgasm - Goreevil Schranz Core Mix (Omega Zero Projection) Keep it on replay until the battle is over for full effect (or not, which ever you choose). The heavy base is Xeris and the Techo is Angel.

Who gets a cookie for getting the reference to the mid-fighting dialogue?

Act 1 - Chapter 11: May Says "Goodbye Daddy"

It was about two in the morning when I finally was able to go to sleep. I met Luna in the field again, and she asked why I was late. I explained that I had felt a little uneasy about my return to Canterlot with May at my side. May expressed her own fears getting caught by her father, but I told her not to worry. Should I face him, he will pay for his crimes, once and for all. Luna of course became worried when she found out that Xeris was tracking both May and myself. My dream would have become a nightmare if I had let it, but luckily I was able to keep my cool. I had very bad anxiety when it came to things like this, and would have sparked the flame of a nightmare.

When I awoke, May was already waiting for me, a stressed look across her face. I tell her everything will be fine and go to grab my sword. This is where I find a saddle bag and a harness for my sword. I take the note and read it carefully.

Angel,
Here lies a saddle bag and harness made by my friend Rarity. She saw you one day without one, and had asked about who you were. The saddle bags are made for a stallion of your stature and the belt belonged to my brother before he became prince of the Crystal Empire. I resized it for you and there is no need to thank me. Also, when you look inside your saddle bag holds a book of spells I think you might want to take a look at, and an official royal badge so you aren't asked to remove your sword. Most of them are combat related spells, but it also has a few shield and healing spells. It is a book written by me, so please feel free to send me a letter telling me what you thought of it. I wish you luck, and hope both of you arrive in Canterlot safely.

-Your Friend

Twilight Sparkle

PS: Congratulations, Eclipse Captain, Angel Caster

I gain a little more respect for the mare and smile at her gifts. I get May to aid me in fitting the harness for my sword. I fit my badge right next to my ear. For some reason it is a star with a four leaf clover on it, but I do not care. Now, I look like a guard without armor. Twilight has unofficially knighted me as Captain of her guard(I think), and I believe I will have a word with Luna about what this means by way of our relationship.

I take a look at the spell book for a few moments. There are a few spells I find rather easy, fireball, lighting strike, and a spell that is called 'Wub Cannon'. I do not ask anyone, not ever. But those are just some of the spells. There are many more difficult spells in the book I'm sure are for later uses, but I do take a glance at the healing spells. I get a simple one down pat and move on.

May is walking next to me, nearly touching my blade. Actually she does a few times, but it seems that she herself is in a holy state like she is in her dreams. I think her being in this state is allowing her to touch my sword without being harmed. I have yet to even notice Xeris, but I feel worry made of thousands of ADHD butterflies flying around in my stomach. Sombra was 'grounded' to the castle for sneaking out so he couldn't help me.

I was worried when I saw Xeris walking up to the ticket master. May shot right behind me, whimpering fearfully. What has this stallion not done to this mare?! It angers me still that she was abused in such a way, to be raped by her own father when she had failed!? THE NERVE! I had to calm down though, Twilight had warned me about my anger. It seems that magic is also tied to emotions here. I don't see why it wouldn't as emotions can affect performance in battle. I must be like the inner nerd that I am and follow part of the jedi code. There is no emotion, only peace. I remember watching someone play a game where you play as a jedi, it was some massive multiplayer online game I never really got into because I didn't have the money to get a subscription. I know it was free to- off track again.

We approach the ticket master who is still giving Xeris his tickets. "One moment." He says.

Xeris turned around, instantly I was hit with such hate and distaste it nearly made me sick. The smell of death was in the air, stronger now that May was around. "You have my daughter."

I take a step forward. "As far as I am concerned, May Weather is my daughter. You foul demon."

"HEHEHEehehehehe!HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU THINK YOUR WORDS EFFECT ME FOOL!? I am Xeris! Master of the Unseen!"

I spit in his face. "I am the Captain of the Royal Eclipse Guard, if you make an attempt at this mare's life, I will take you down."

Xeris grabs the ticket and laughs. "Corona! NOW!"

May struggles to stand evenly. Her whole body begins to break down, and she shakes violently. I run to her but an intense heat coming from her keeps me from getting closer. Yet, I try even more. The wood under here starts to darken as I get closer to her. I am starting to get burned and I know it won't be long before I get first or second degree burns. I touch her and kiss her head.

"May...forget Corona. She is hurt and broken." I grunt in pain. "You are May...not Corona Arc." I still don't feel a difference from her. I had to let go of her before I got too bad.

"R-right...F...father is evil..." Her skin still continued to crack and break apart, showing coal black skin and fur, her eyes became darker. "I am g-go....goo.... AHG! NO! I'm good!" I could tell she was struggling trying to keep her form together. The more her father was around her, the more she was changing. They were truly connected, but her father seemed to have all the control.

PLAY SONG NOW

I turned to him and narrowed my eyes, he did so as well. "In the name of Luna Everfree, I shall slay you, foul demon!" I drew my sword and he turned into a demonic form. He laughed evilly and the train began to move. I watched him jump to the roof. I threw bits at the ticket master and pulled my own tickets. I swiftly threw May into a car and jumped on the top of the caboose.

Xeris was six cars ahead, he continued to laugh as his fiery mane flew in the wind. He grew a few feet taller and two horns sprouted from his head. "COME AND GET ME ANGEL!" He laughed and breathed out a massive fire ball.

I ducked under it and kept my sword in my magic's grasp. I could feel the sword now, even though I was not physically touching it, I could feel it's own anger rise as much as my own. This demon was going to die, and as the train sped up, I had to use more magic to keep myself from falling off.

He shot more fire balls at me, which I cut with my sword. The fire was absorbed inside, making it shine before flashing with a red aura around it that looked like fire. Was this some form of enchantment I was unaware of? Not that I minded, but was a pleasant surprise indeed. I hope it would aid me.

The whistle of the train blew, and I jumped towards him. He laughed and burned away only to appear from behind me and kick me to the next car. My whole side was burned in the instant contact was made when he touched me. I grunted in pain once again, and stood up, though slowly.

"Weak! HA!" He ran to ram into me, but I was lucky enough to jump out of the way just in time. I swung my sword again at him, managing to cut his fur only slightly. He bled a black liquid that smelt of death and decay nearly making me vomit right then and there. I swung again while he was dazed a little, yet he seemed to catch on to my attacks.

I was sure I was better at this while I was a human, but I didn't have the will power or the know how to turn myself back into one. This would be a mistake I will never make again, if I survived. The train was moving at max speed and already I was down most of my mana. I wasn't used to constant usage, not this much anyways, and it was taking a large tole on me. Twilight taught me well, but I wasn't as experienced as her, but I had to push on, for May.

I turned to face my foe, he was laughing as he shot fire balls at me without trouble. "DIE MONSTER!!! YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!!!"

"IT IS NOT BY MY HAND THAT I AM GIVEN FLESH! I WAS CALLED HERE BY...PONIES WHO WISH TO PAY ME TRIBUTE!"

"TRIBUTE!?! YOU KILL PONIES AND TAKE THEIR LIVES!"

"PERHAPS THE SAME COULD BE SAID TO YOU!"

"YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS YOUR SOUL!" I shouted from two cars away. "PONYKIND ILL NEEDS A SAVIOR SUCH AS YOU!"

"WHAT IS A PONY?! A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS! BUT ENOUGH TALK...HAVE AT YOU!!!"

We ran at each other, I could feel my magic drain even more. He flashed a fire ball into my face which stunned me long enough to give him the chance to slam me through the roof of the car. They scream in fear and try to run away. He takes a filly and charges a fire ball in his mouth.

"NO!" Her mother screams. "PLEASE!"

The filly doesn't even look like a child yet, but closer to a year old. My vision blurs and is painted in red, I feel the hunger again, I do not understand it. Follow it... I feel myself thinking. Listen to it... I do so. I fire the sword at Xeris and cut his hoof off that holds the filly. I catch her with my magic and give her to her mother. She nods a quick thanks before running off to another car. We are just ahead of the caboose. I knew that May was two cars away forward, so the distance might allow her to cool, especially now that he was hurt and distracted by me.

He screamed in rage and ran into my still limp body. I am throne into the wall of the car and make a large dent. I groan, I started to notice my vision was getting darker, but the red got worse. I felt my fangs pull out of the roof of my mouth. I scream louder as thoughts of hate spread through me. The hunger was worse, I was starting to taste iron, everything was so red. It was the only color I saw, even black was red, now all just different shades. That's all they were...just...shades. My horn flashed and everything started to turn lighter, I carried my sword over to him and stabbed him in his side was he was shocked. I didn't know why he was.

My magic was like an overload of dopamine. I felt a wave of hate to this thing. It hurt someone that I cared about. I stabbed him again, and again! More of the black sludge came out. He laughed at my attempts to kill him. Once I had come back up to stab him again, he used the fluid to spit in my eyes. I was only able to protect my left eye in time, and when the sludge hit my right eye, it burned it. I reared back screaming in pain. I actually can't remember more of the next few minutes. I believe my body was in shock at this point.

When I was able to remember things again, when things weren't black any longer. I was laying on the ground. The train was wrecked, and Xeris was a big black blob. I could only make out his eyes that were both red. I could also see normally again, I couldn't feel anything.

"Are you ready to die?!" He laughed and spat a little more black on my face, and it stung like a bitch.

I coughed out a little blood, it felt like my chest was collapsing. "N-...no...n-ot...y-....e...yet..." I tried to get up, but he kicked me to where I could see the tracks falling behind us. I was about to die...No... I thought. Not yet... I felt something pulse inside of me. I didn't know what it was. Adrenaline? I didn't know, but it went out of my body like a typhoon, smacking Xeris back. His form began to smoke.

"NO! NO! NO!" He screamed as his body began to crystallize. He tried moving towards me, but right when his leg was about to touch me, he froze.

I slowly looked up long enough to see his body break apart into a black dust. In the center of it lay a black crystal, large enough for the slot in my sword. It rolled over to it and the fire aura vanished into thin air. A few seconds later I noticed I had a large gash in my side, I was bleeding out. I felt just enough mana in my pool to close it a little before I passed out, hoping I would wake up.

I thought I had died. I thought I saw myself in a different angle, like I was some ghost. I looked over to where I was hearing the sobbing and I see Luna crying in Celestia's grasp. I frown and look back over to myself. All of the machines showed my heart slowing down and my brain activity dropping. I was in limbo I am sure. I was alive and dead at the same time. My body from the looks of it showed many gashes, and my right eye was a black shadow and a scar was over it where Xeris may have cut me. May!

Did I fail her!? I heard the door open, and I saw May stepping through, a sorrowful look on her face. She walked over to me and sat down. She looked up right at me, not at my body, but my ghost.

"It's not time for you to go daddy." She shook her head. Luna and Celestia looked over to her then back at me, but I was sure they couldn't see me. May had a item wrapped in cloth in the shape of a small ball. She unfurled it, and I saw the orb Xeris had became. "This is a dark soul." She said to them and not me. "I am a divine now that my father can no longer taint me. I owe daddy more than ever now."

"W-what do you mean?" Luna asks, but it looks like Celestia already knows what May is talking about. A shocked look is across her face.

May looks back at me and smiles weakly. "Thank you for saving my soul daddy. Now I can go back to the angels, but you can't yet. I had one big wish as an angel, and I never got to use it." She laughed sadly. "I will save you like you saved me from my father. Thank you....daddy, your number one. I hope I can see you again."

May blows into the ball and her body begins to glow brightly until she is a massive white figure with ice blue eyes. Then it gets sucked up by the ball and it turns from black to gray then to white and glows brilliantly. Celestia tilts her head down and whispers a few words and nods, and does it over and over again as though it were some chant. Luna gasps in shock as the orb floats over me, and I feel myself getting pulled into my body. My body grows a little too, and my muscles get more toned. The machines light up my improving body rates as they return to normal and things go black once again.
