Devilpony - The Birth

Jakira and Poyo finally made it to the mansion. Jakira was starting to get an eerie feeling coming from the mansion as they got closer.

Poyo levitated a key from his coat pocket and unlocked the door.

"Step right in." said Poyo as he held the door open for Jakira to enter.

As they walked in, Poyo levitated his coat and hat on the rack.

"Right this way." said Poyo as he walked further down the hallway.

As Jakira caught up with him, he awed at the painting of Poyo's father.

"Wow! I know this guy. He's a famous archeologist." said Jakira as he pointed at the painting.

"Heh. I knew that at some point you'd figured it out." said Poyo.

"Anyway, could you tell me more about what secret you wanted me to bare with along with you?"

"Before my father went crazy, he was investigating some ruins when he suddenly found a hole. But not just any hole, it was more like a tunnel. He followed further down the tunnel into the bowels of Equestria. As he made it to the end, he found an unusual artifact."

Poyo opens the door to a room that was really cold. It felt like winter in there.

"Sweet Celestia, it's cold in here. Why's that?" said Jakira as he began to shiver.

"That's why." said Poyo as he pointed.

"AHHHHHH!!" shouted Jakira out of fright.

What he saw was something out of science fiction. The artifact had horns, sharp teeth, and pointed ears.

"What the hell is that?!" said Jakira as he looked away from the artifact.

"Relax Jakira. It's quite dead." said Poyo as he walked up towards the artifact.

"Dead?"

"Does it remind you of anything?"

"It…Looks like…Like a demon." said Jakira as he slowly walked up to Poyo.

"That probably what most ponies will put it."

"Is it some sort of representation of what the ancient pony civilization thought?"

"No. This was around way before ponies were alive. Probably older than the ice age. This artifact wasn't made by ponies, I can tell you that."

"Is it some kind of natural formation?"

"Natural? No. This was created by a force that is unnatural. This artifact right here, really isn't an artifact at all."

"Not an artifact?" said Jakira with a cocked eyebrow.

"This is really a fossil. It's a skull of a demon. To the ponies back in ancient times, this was a religious artifact that was very important to them. It is said that it has magical powers."

"Sweet Celestia."

"If you place it over your head, you can see the ancient world that the demons live in." said Poyo as he placed the demon skull over his head.

"Jakira, now it's your turn to wear the demon skull."

"No fucking way, Poyo. I'm leaving." said Jakira as he walked towards the door.

"Come here!" shouted Poyo.

"See you soon, bye-bye." said Jakira as he opened the door.

"Jakira! Please, you have to wear it. Only by looking into the past, can help us to what may occur in the future. Remember that you are now apart of this."

"…Ok, let's get this over with." said Jakira as he closed his eyes waiting for what he was about to see.

Poyo levitated the demon skull and slowly placed it on Jakira's head. Jakira opened his eyes slowly.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" shouted Jakira.

"Don't take it off!! you're seeing millions of years back in the past."

"SWEET CELESTIA! IT'S UGLY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Jakira saw demons everywhere. They were fighting one another from every direction around him. Some look like dinosaurs and some look almost alien. Blood was splattered everywhere he went. He saw a demon slicing another demon through it's belly which made it's intestines come out rapidly. Another demon that looked like an insect spat out some liquid that made a demon that it was fighting with go puffy and then popped like a balloon.

Jakira was frightened by what he has saw and rapidly took off the demon skull and started to throw up on the carpet. Poyo walked up to him and brought him back up to his hooves.

"Jakira, come with me, I'll take you to the bathroom so you can clean up your face." said Poyo as he walked slowly with Jakira towards the bathroom.

After cleaning up, Poyo and Jakira headed towards the living room where Jakira could lay down on.

"Now that you see what the demons are, they are very aggressive and they take a delight in destruction. However, they fight each other for a purpose, it's a perverse version of the theory to evolution. When a demon consumes another, it'll gain special powers which makes it stronger." said Poyo.

"Amazing…To believe that demons are real." said Jakira as he stared at the floor.

"Here" said Poyo as he levitated a glass of water to Jakira.

"Thanks" said Jakira before he could take a drink.

"The good thing is that demons aren't around here these days." said Jakira after he finished his drink.

"It would be good that way, but remember this, demons can live for thousands of years. How can Equestria be free of something immortal." said Poyo as he looked through his window.

"There are many stories around Equestria that can relate to demons that suggest to me that they are far from extinction. They still live among us. Are you familiar with the epic poem The Divine Comedy?"

Jakira shook his head.

"The writer was an amazing poet from the 13th century. The Divine Comedy was a story about a journey though heaven and down into hades. He wrote that in the lowest level of hades, he saw demons frozen in ice and in the coldest part of the ice was the king of the demons. The kings name was Lucifer, the evil one. Now a days it's an old story…But then again…" Poyo paused.

"So you're telling me that this poet saw these demons and that they are frozen in ice?" said Jakira.

"I think so. Because of global warming, the icecaps are melting. Soon, they'll be back. It could be the end of Equestria as we know it. As bad as it sounds, we have to face the fact that demons will arise from their icy prisons."

Jakira stood there with his mouth hanging wide open.

"You mean…" said Jakira as he got up from the couch.

"I guess so. As I know, we're defenseless against them. There are very little of what can kill demons. If that weren't bad enough, you and I have problems to contend with. You and I are now fully involved with what my father has been working on. We now know the secrets of the demons. We're not safe from them. We must be ready for them when the time comes. Do you understand?" said Poyo as he looked back at Jakira.

"You said yourself that they are still frozen in ice. what can they do?" said Jakira.

"Unfortunately, not all of the demons are frozen in ice. Some of them are out there. Because of my fathers work, they know about us. Don't you see? We're in danger of being attacked at anytime. I should always carry a weapon with me wherever I go."

"This is bullshit." said Jakira with a fit of anger.

"You have to accept the facts. Sorry if this is so unpleasant for you."

"Wait a minute!! So what did your father really do?"

"Ever since he found the demon skull, he was obsessed with it. My father wanted everything to know about the demons, but what he actually found was a way for ponies to meld with demons. My father was in a case of demonic possession, he couldn't control the demon he melded with. That's why he committed suicide. If he somehow controlled the demon, he could've had the demons power."

"So that he can fight other demons on equal terms?"

"Exactly. That was his idea, but his facts were wrong. Come with me, I have to show you some notes that he wrote down." Said Poyo as he and Jakira left the living room.

Before they could take a few steps through the hallway, the window smashed into pieces. The ceiling behind them suddenly smashed down from the dark hallway.

"THEY'RE HERE!!!!" shouted Poyo.

The demon was almost down to the ground as its tentacles reached towards the floor.

"FUCKING A!!! RUN!!!" shouted Poyo as he and Jakira ran down the hall.

The demon was finally free and started to chase the two ponies down the hall. It was right up their tail.

"QUICK!!! I KNOW A PLACE WHERE IT CAN'T REACH US!!!!" shouted Poyo as he and Jakira Ran down stairs.

As they made it to the bottom, another demon burst through the wall. This one looked like a centipede with sharp teeth and had one eye.

"ANOTHER ONE?!?!" shouted Jakira as he and Poyo made a left towards a steel door.

Poyo stopped to open the door.

"COME ON, POYO!!! HURRY!!!" shouted Jakira as the demons were getting closer.

"IT'S OPEN!! COME ON!!!" shouted Poyo as he and Jakira made it safely inside.

As the door closes, all they could hear were banging noises coming from the demons trying to break through.

"You think it'll last long?"

"It will. I'm sure of it." said Poyo as he turned on the lights.

As the lights came on, there was another door behind them.

"I can't believe it…They're real…" said Jakira as he fell to the ground.

"Jakira…I'm very sorry I got you involved with this, but you are my only friend and I need your help. If there was a way to fight these things, I would've done something. But I'm not strong enough. I hope you can forgive me." said Poyo as he put a hoof on Jakira's shoulder.

"It's Ok, Poyo." said Jakira as he got back up on his hooves.

"I have another thing to ask. I remember my adoptive mother telling me that my mother went missing during an expedition near the crystal empire. Do you think she may have disturbed the demons?"

"Possibly…In fact, maybe."

"So what do we do now?"

"Be prepared for the fight to come. Also, this won't be easy." said Poyo as he walked towards the door from behind them.

"Jakira, are you ready to fight them?"

"…You name it and I'll do it. I'll give it my best. I wanna stop those bastards. I'll take whatever fate has in store for me. Tell me how."

"Ok, I'll tell you how to kill a demon. You must become one with a demon. Understand? Only a demon is capable of killing a demon. There's a 50/50 chance you'll meld with a demon. My father wrote in his last journal entry is that it is possible that a mortal pony to join with a demon giving the pony the powers of that demon. The only ponies that can do it have to be pure and have virtuous nature."

"How will it know if I'm virtuous?" said Jakira as he walked up to Poyo.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"Could my consciousness suppress the demons will?"

"If you manage it, you'll be the first."

"Aren't you going to try melding with a demon along with me?"

"Oh, I will. I'll do my very best."

"If you're giving it a try, then so will I. Let's go get some demons." said Jakira with a smile on his face.

Poyo smiles back

"Alright let's do this!!!" shouted Jakira with confidence.

"Let's go! No turning back!" said Poyo as he opened the door.

Inside were flashing lights with party music going on in the background. There were ponies dancing and having a great time. Vinyl Scratch was DJing the music with everything she's got. There was alcohol, balloons, and tons of food everywhere.

"What the fuck?" said Jakira.
