Richards Alternate Universe
Chapter 5: the explanation
Previous ChapterSunset and rich walked into the sweets shop, they were greeted by the rest of the girls in their group.
"Hey there partner, we heard about what happened. We also heard about that thing and how it saved Rainbow and Sunsert. what is this thing anyway?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah, he was all fire and bone and stuff!" Rainbow added. Rich pulled up a chair and sat down.
"He is, well, technically you would call him an angle."
"WHAT!" The six girls said at once.
"He was a spirit of justice, sent to the earth to protect the innocent. Sadly, he was tricked by the devil, and dragged down to hell. He became twisted, broken, corrupted, and turned into the spirit of vengeance. The spirit of justice was only supposed to make the guilty feel the pain of the people they had wronged. The spirit of vengeance however, wants to destroy guilty people for what they have done. Let's say you do nothing but lie, or you cheat constantly, or you've committed an act or acts of murder, he will destroy you for it. One man once said his power was 'God like'. Granted he and I are no gods, but we do make the most powerful angle. Even the devil himself couldn't compare. And if I did my research correctly, I believe the rider over threw the devil, and became the new king of hell. He's not evil like the devil though, the rider lives to serve the creator in protecting the innocent. Even if it means destroying the guilty." Rich stopped talking and looked up from the hot drink he had.
Everyone was staring at him, they were shocked.
"So let me get this straight." Rainbow dash said. "The thing inside you is the new king of hell?"
"Pretty much, but instead of trying to plague innocent people with curses and demons like the last king, he just punishes the guilty." Rich said. "There are a few draw backs to having it inside you, but a big plus is you can control your body temperature to stay comfortable. For example, it's getting cold out because we're getting close to winter. I can walk out side, in the snow, with just underwear on and not get frostbite."
"Oh, so that's why you can wear that jacket all the time." Pinkie said.
"Yep, I can wear it comfortably and still look like a badass." Rich said.
"Uh, Ah hate to tell you rich. But Ah think you look more threatening with all that on." Applejack said.
"That's where our definitions of badass differ. My definition of badass is looking threatening but cool." Rich said.
"Well you definitely pull off your definition of badass very well rich." Sunset said.
"Thank you Sunset." Rich said. Everyone was staring at Sunset curiously.
"What, he looks like he will kick your ass if you mess with him, And the clothes match really well. As a bonus to the whole threatening thing, when he's relaxed his eyes still make him look pissed off." Sunset explained. Everyone nodded there heads in agreement.
"Well do you have control over it?" Rainbow asked.
"Partially, I can use one ability at a time and still have control. If I tried to use the hell fire chain and make my hand look like its on fire for example, he will break out. If I'm just doing one or the other then I'll be fine." Rich explained.
"Then let's see what you can do! I know of a really big clearing in the middle of the woods, we can go there after dark and you can show us what you can do with that, hell fire chain or whatever." Rainbow said excitedly.
"Sure, why not. I believe there's also old abandoned construction equipment there, so I'll be able to show you something else too." Rich said.
"Well then, ah think we should get goin if we want to be there by sundown. The sun is already settin'." Applejack said.
"Alright then, who wants to ride on the back of my bike with me." Rich asked. Rainbow looked like she was going to say something, but she didn't. Sunset looked around to see who wanted to, when she saw no one she spoke up.
"I guess I will." She said.
"Ok then, let's get a move on!" Rich said. As they were walking out of the doors, Rainbow stopped Sunset.
"Hey, I let you take the ride with rich, I can tell you really like him." Rainbow whispered. Sunset blushed.
"Is it really obvious?" Sunset asked quietly.
"No, but I put two and two together after the incident, that comment you made about him being badass and cool gave it away for me though." Rainbow whispered back. The two girls walked out the doors, rich was starting his bike and everyone else was getting in a car. Sunset put on the spare helmet that rich gave her and climbed onto the bike with rich. Rich had let her keep the helmet she used on the ride over from his house. Sunset felt an overpowering sense of joy as she sat on the bike with him.
