Daemon had parked his bike in his garage and headed inside, having to leave later he went to go get something to wear. He had everything all set but a jacket. His primary one had taken its toll last week and was full of scratches and holes, he also couldn't be seen using as it was a dead give away so he needed another jacket. Having just his red hoodie he used it for now.

"Great and it was new, well I could go pay a visit to that shop so see if they can also do repairs, I'll have to buy a jacket there too it seems." Said Daemon. He looked for the address again and saw it wasn't far only taking a 2 minute walk. He was outside the shop and headed in, he saw no one when he noticed a desk bell, he pressed it and heard a someone.

"Coming" Said the voice. Daemon saw it was Rarity and panicked, she was there during the attack and he was holding the jacket he used to disguise himself. "Daemon is that you, what a surprise to see you is there anything you need?" Asked Rarity. "Uh, yeah I wondering if you could repair my jacket, I had uh motorcycle accident recently and it got scratched pretty bad" Replied Daemon. He showed her the jacket.

"Well there certainly a lot to fix here, nothing I couldn't fix though, I'll have it ready and handed to you in the party, say this jacket looks very familiar." Said Rarity.

"Really, I had bought it a couple of weeks ago." Said Daemon, he was worried, she had recognized the jacket which could be a problem.

'Pardon me, I just remember seeing this jacket somewhere before, anyways is there anything else you need?" Asked Rarity

"yeah I was wondering if you sold or would make a jacket that would suit me for later?" Asked Daemon.

"Well, I can make a variety of styles but I can make you one I just need to take your measurements." Said Rarity. Rarity took out her measuring tape and proceeded to take his waist length, width, etc. "Okay, so same as the other jacket I'll handed to you in the party." Said Rarity

"Alright well how much will the total be for this?" Asked Daemon

"Don't worry about it I make outfits for my friends all the time." Said Rarity

"Well we just met, but still let me pay for the expenses." Said Daemon

"Well if you insist, that'll be $65.75" Said Rarity. Daemon took out his wallet and handed her the cash. Once that was done he left the shop and saw he had some more time left.

"Well that's done, what to do?" Wondered Daemon, "I could go back home or...." he knew exactly what to do, time to make some upgrades. With the jacket being repaired he had to buy some protection, the attack had left him scratched and bruised, being thrown across was not an enjoyable thing, he was close nearing a nearby hardware shop when he heard some girls causing a commotion, he went to see and saw a group of kids surrounding someone.

"You really think a change of personality will make you free of what you did" Said an unknown assailant. "I'm sorry, please leave me alone." Said Sunset. Daemon soon realized they were targeting Sunset, he also noticed one of the figures with a bat. He couldn't be seen by the group or they would recognize him later on if he managed to get away, He needed to intervene in order for them to leave her.

"Well, Hope this hoodie can hide my face, what am I even saying of course it'll hide, it just wont protect it. Well it's showtime for Red Hood" Said Daemon, He then realized he was worried about a group of inexperienced kids when he fought a demon. He was behind the group and then struck though verbally.

"Leave her alone" Said Red Hood.

"Who do you think you are, don't you realize that this girl has been a problem for everyone, we're here to teach her a lesson, now stay out of this if you don't want to get put in your place too" Said the figure aggressively.

"Well if that's the case with you, then let me show you who's getting hurt" Said Red Hood. With everyone against him he used this as his advantage, two of the teens tried taking him down only to run into each other.

"two down, three more to go" Said Red Hood, proceeding to be far from the one with the bat, he couldn't be distracted by him yet. he took another of the guys down when the guy swung at him, not thinking he used his left arm to block it but this proved hurtful to him, the guy proceeded to take another swing but Red Hood ducked and proceeded with a right hook. Standing Menacingly towards the guy he got his bat and hit him with it.

"Do that to me again and I'll have to hit you again harder," Whispered Daemon toward the guy in the ground

"I'm still left freak and I'm not easy to take down" Said the possible leader of this attack.

"Right you think you can go against me after I took down your whole group" Said Red Hood, he walked towards the guy while saying this.

"Now I'm in a very good mood, I'll let you leave right now unless you want a broken arm" Threatened Red Hood, He turned around and towards Sunset  when the guy decided to hit him.

"Look out" Said Sunset, Red Hood didn't even bother to face him, the only thing facing the guy was his elbow. The guy fell to the ground.

"Warned You Didn't I?" Said Daemon before twisting his arm causing his shoulder to pop.

"Are you alright?" Asked Red Hood, he knew the answer to this, more importantly he should be asking that to himself, his arm took another hit, first landing on it and now being hit with a bat.

"It's you, the one who was there at the school, when you fought me" Said Sunset worried, This figure had fought her demon appearance and now saved her.

"Guess the hood gives it away, still are you alright" Said Red Hood

"Nothing other than verbal taunts' She Said. "But what about them?" She Asked while pointing at everybody Daemon had attacked.

"they're fine, had I been caught in a bad mood it would have gone worse for him." Said Red Hood, he told her leave, while she did hesitantly, he knew she wanted to know more but now wasn't the time. After she left Red Hood proceeded to run home, having left all of his gear home he couldn't leave quietly. Daemon ran through yards and streets till he recognized his house. It seemed like the only house in the neighborhood to have black as it primary color. He climbed up to his window and entered his room. He then pulled a book only to have the bookshelf move aside, revealing a ladder. He went down to a room hidden from others, turning on the lights to his gloomy abode he took off his equipment and patched himself up.

"I really need that upgrade" Said Daemon, His left arm was bruised and scratched, having gotten his health kit out he proceeded to clean the area. Taking some pain relievers he patch up his arm to prevent more damage. He went back up and into his living room, his layed in his couched trying to forget the pain.

"Well today was a heck of day" Said Daemon. He kept laying on his couch when he sprang up and checked his phone, 6:26.

"Crap the party thing' Said Daemon. He could get there in time, probably, He then began thinking of the possibilities of being late, his first thought being about Pinkie killing him for breaking a pinkie promise as she calls it. He Got up, changed his clothes and ran to the door.

"Yup can't be late." He Said worriedly
