Hard Emotions
A bat like creature was smashed against the ground hard enough to leave a small creator around it's head. The blood covered creature attempted to raise it's head, but was met with a demonic black gauntlet. The force of the blow made the head explode in a wave of bone, blood, and brain matter.
The huge beast raised its clawed gauntlet after its blow as he inspected the damage done to the, now dead, creature. The heavy gauntlet was owned by a towering seven and a half foot behemoth, being shorter then most of his kind. This minotaur like creature was wearing demonic looking armor. The armor was black armor which was adored with small spicks around the joint areas long with magma streams flowing like veins throughout the surface of the armor.
The face of the monster was the scariest part of its being. It's eye sockets were glowing red like hot coals. Its face was completely black, like it was charred from fire. It's horns were as long as its muzzle. Every breath of the hellish being came with small flames of red hot fire. Lastly a metal strip ran down it's face, protecting it's forehead.
Three other bat like creatures, similar to the one that was just killed, charged at this hellish creature. Reaching behind it's armored back, the behemoth pulled out a six foot, black and crimson broadsword-claymore. The monster spun around and sliced the middle bat in half with it's eight inch wide blade with little resistance.
The other two bat like creatures shot towards the killer at blinding speeds, hoping to overpower it. Quickly, the armored beast through its sword at the left bat, then turned towards the one off to the right. As the creature neared, the behemoth suddenly lashed it's clawed hand and caught the charging creature by the head. Lifting the squirming creature over it's head the towering being smashed the creature's head into the ground repeatedly until it's head was nothing but a bloody smoothie.
Turning back towards the right, the armored monster was met with the sight of a bat like creature pinned to the ground by a huge sword through it's chest. The creature was not moving due to it's blood loss, and will bleed out eventually.
The armored beast looked towards the way the bats came from. In it's sight a massive crimson spire with a grey beacon shooting up into the black shadows above.
As it starred, dozens of the creature's kind, all dressed in armor identical to it's own, ran past the armored beast, kicking up red soil as they ran at high speeds. The creature who just remorselessly killed the creatures ran towards the spire just like it's brethren. As it ran, fire surrounded the sword imbedded in the bat demons chest. The blade disappeared, but to only reappear in a spiral of fire the running creature's back.
All around armored, hellish monsters slaughtered demons as they ran towards the spire. Some using Broadsword- claymores while others used massive war hammers or huge Battleaxes that all have the same design as each other, black and crimson.
As the rampaging beasts ran they came across a fifty foot drop surrounding the spire. Ignoring the drop, each creature jumped down the drop. As each behemoth dropped and landed a crater would form in the lose, red soil. As if nothing happened, the huge armored being stood back up from there crouched positions and began to run towards the spire and fearful demons.
As the black and red armor clad creatures raced towards the spire, about fifty smaller black and electric blue armored beings with large demonic, black and blur bows and broadswords strapped to each side of there waists stood on the cliff leading down to the spire. They drew the bows and began to shot arrows at the bat like demons.
The taller armor clad being simply massacred any being not belonging in it's ranks, leaving the ground soaked in thick blood.
The spilling of blood continued as the bat like creature's were treated cruelly as they were split down the middle with axes, stabbed and sliced in half with swords, crushed by war hammers, and shot with arrows.
After a few more minutes of massacre the entire area went quit. Every hellish minotaur in the pit tilted there heads up and let of a battle cry. The sound that came out was distorted and devilish, but this was normal to these creatures, as each beast has seen at least a millennium of battle and blood shed.
Now closer to the spire, the hellish beasts could see the detail in average spire. They had seen many like this before. The spire was easily fifty stories tall. The sides of the spire were covered it dangerously sharp spicks. The deadly behemoths hardly paid any attention to it due to it being a duplicate of it's thousands of brethren.
After the battle cry calmed down the beasts began to sheath there weapons and burn the dead corpses.
Every beast was covered in blood of there enemies as they walked around, greeting allies.
"Zergh, you fought well friend." One of the armored being said to another on of it's kind in a disoriented, devilish voice.
"You to Graun. How many weaklings did you slaughter today?" Zergh asked in a similar voice.
"I counted at least 70 worthless pieces of trash, Friend. You?" Graun answered
"About the same." Zergh simply answered.
"Where do you think this spire portal will take the Hellitaurs this time?" Graun Asked Zergh.
"I do not now, comrade, but hopfully our kind will find something worthwhile." Zergh hoped
"Agreed"
Hell Castle
"Yes, sire. We will send a diplomat with the normal soldiers incase of intelligent life. The soldiers know to act civil if they meet another kingdom or empire." A eight foot Hellitaur said while bowing to his king.
"Good." a dark, strong, and commanding voice said in return. The voice belonged to a eight foot being, not too different from a Hellitaur, but still different enough to not be the same race. It's legs were different and it did not have a muzzle. It's armor was a dark grey instead of black and it did not have vein like features like the Hellitaur's armor. Also, the being had a pair of huge leathery, red wings. It's face was covered by a helmet, but anyone could see the red irises coming from the eye holes in the armor. This was the God of Hell, Murder, Combat, and Fire. But, he goes by the name of Hell, or King Hell.
"Tell the diplomat to get there leader or another diplomat here so I may see the creatures myself, should the exist." Hell said to his soldier.
"Yes, sire. I will inform them right away." the soldier agreed.
"Excellent, dismissed."
The soldier walked out of the throne room and down to the barracks. The soldier saw the group that was going into the world. The group of five consisted of three black and red armored soldiers, one being the diplomat. The Diplomat had a six foot Broadsword-Claymore
strapped to his back.
The second one had Six and a half foot war hammer with a half a ton hammerhead.
The last one had a six and half foot battle axe with a three foot blade.
The other two in the group wore less thick armor and it was black and blue instead of black and red. The armor was less thick so the wearer can move faster and be more agile. Both of the armored Hellitaurs had two broadswords and a bow, all black and blue like there armor.
"Brothers, our king has given extra commands for your mission." The soldier said to the group.
"What are they, Ku?" The diplomat asked.
"The king has asked that you bring a diplomat or there leader to our realm, Norga" Ku answered.
"Ok, thank you, friend." Norga answered.
"One last thing, comrade. The portal has been already opened and is waiting for your arrival."
"Thank you again, brother. My companions and I will be off to this new realm, wish us luck." With that said, Norag and his group made there way towards the exit.
Ponyvill, Equestria
The elements of harmony and all of Ponyvill were standing at the edge of town, facing the Everfree Forest. A few minutes ago everything was as normal as it ever was, but suddenly a huge wave of dread and fear washed over Ponyvill and it's occupants.
after a few minutes of cowering in fear, ponies began to follow the source of dread. The source was coming from the Everfree Forest.
Twilight was more curious then afraid, but the fear was still there. She was writhing a friendship report for Princess Celestia when this strange wave of dread and fear swop over her and the rest of Ponyvill. Spike, along with any other colt or filly, randomly burst into tears after felling the dread and fear.
"Twilight?" a almost whispery voice said from behind Twilight. She turned to see a cowering Fluttershy.
"Yes, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked with concern for her shy friend.
"W-what was that? I-it scared away all my animals." Fluttershy asked timidly
"I don't know, but I should ask the princess about it." Twilight Sparkle said. Little did she know, Celestia and Luna already felt this massive burst of feelings.
Canterlot Castle
Celestia was in shock as she starred towards the throne room door with wide eyes. She had just felt a wave of dread and fear, but it seems that the rest of the castle did not feel it. Celestia needed to know what caused the huge wave of emotion, but first things first. "Guards, tell the nobles and citizens that I will not be holding day court today. I do not feel well." Celestia lied.
"Yes, your majesty." a guard to the left of her throne said.
Celestia stood up from her throne and started to walk behind her throne, where a set of stairs are located. As she walked up the stairs, her mind wondered. "What could of that sort of magic? It was so dark, that it makes Tartarus look like a playground for children."
Celestia thought as she entered a hallway.
As she turned a corner somepony bumped into her, making her fall onto her flank. When she looked to see who bumped into her, it was non other then her sister.
"Sorry, sister." Luna said as she scratched the back of her head, blushing. "Did you by any chance feel that huge rush of emotions?"
"Yes, I did sister. In fact I was just coming to ask if you did." Celestia responded. "Lets discus this in my quarters, Luna."
Luna shook her head yes and followed her sister to her quarters. "Sister," Luna began as she sat down, "The power I felt was similar to that of Tartarus's, was it not?" Luna asked her big sister.
"Yes, but much more forceful and powerful." Celestia agreed.
"What should be done about it?" Luna inquired.
"You and I need to see what the trouble is, especially since this energy holds such negative emotions."
"Agreed, but who will take our place while we are away?"
"Cadence and Shining Armor should be more then enough for our absents." Celestia said with a smile.
"Agreed." Luna smiled back.
"I will Get together a small group of guards, then we will be on our way. I will need you to tell Cadence of our leave, though, as I will occupied with the guards." Celestia stated
"Of coarse, sister." Luna responded.

Chapter 2: Hellish Murder Part 1/2
Hellish Murder
Five hellish beings walked through a portal held by stone spicks coming out of the ground. The portal rippled behind the Hellitaurs as the diplomat of the five turned towards the rest of the devilish group. "When I call your name, respond." Norga commanded.
"Norps."
"I am here, brother." The eight foot behemoth stated. He was welding the half ton hammer.
"Gruland."
"I am at your side, Norga." The demon that spoke was the one that had a battle axe strapped to his back.
"Noble and Breta."
"We are here, sibling." both black and blue armored Hellitaurs said in union.
Norga nodded his head at there response and began to observe the area. The ground the stood on was charred from the portal and seemed to have been alive at one time. Looking around from where he stood, Norga was able to tell that he and his companions were inside a forest. The forest was very quite unlike the forests back in hell, and the plant life was not demonic in any way, unlike the ones in hell.
"Brothers, we are to search the entire forest and beyond for any intelligent life. We will split up to cover more ground. If you find life sound off with a battle cry so we may come and find you." Norga stated to his fellow brethren.
Each behemoth nodded and when off on separate paths.
Gruland
The demon walked through the forest, crushing plants and branches. The more he walked deeper into the depths of the forest, the darker and quieter it got.
After a few minutes of nothing but the breath and heavy steps of Gruland, hardly audible steps could be heard through out the small area of forest Gruland was in. The few minutes was all that was needed to break the silent nature of the dark forest. Loud growls were heard through out the forest as the demon stopped in his tracks.
Turning to his left, Gruland saw three strange creatures. Each one had a muscular build similar to a Hell Lion. They also had bat wings and a scorpion tail. There fur was a mix between yellow and orange unlike the blood red coat Hell Lions had. They let out a loud roar as they slowly approached the battle axe wielding demon.
Gruland chuckled darkly at there attempt to intimidate him. Smiling, he let off a roar of his own, trumping the Lion creatures roar in loudness and intimidation. The lion creatures stepped back and hesitated, but shook of the fear and kept approaching him.
"Big mistake, creatures." Gurland said as he unsheathed his mighty axe.
The middle Lion like creature pounced towards Gurland with it's claws out. The eight foot demon turned his axe sideways and spun around. The side of the blade smashed into the skull of the pouncing creature, fracturing it's skull. The mismatched creature slide across the ground, but to only to be stopped by a oak tree.
The other two looked at the demonic creature with wide eyes as they realized that one of the own was beaten so easily. That surprised soon turned to rage.
Both creatures growled loudly before pouncing at the same time towards there hellish opponent. Gurland quickly stuck his axe into the ground and charged at the air born creatures.
Taking the Lion like creatures by surprise, Gurland grabbed both of them by there throats. Any momentum carrying the pouncing creatures forward was instantly stopped and the two, now helpless, being were carried backwards by the clawed gauntlets of the Hellitaur.
As Gurland increased his grip on the two mammals, his claws cut into there flesh causing the two animals to howler in pain. After about ten steps with the mammals in hand Gurland smashed them into the ground, causing a small shock wave through the forest.
Raising his fist into the air, Gurland mercilessly punched the creature to the right multiple times. The Lion like creature to the left was able to wiggle out of the demon's grip, but to only stare in horror as his pack mate was beat senselessly. After the tenth punch, the creature's face had completely caved in. Small streams would flow out of the open skull as a puddle was created around it.
Gurland turned towards the horrified creature with a smirk. "You and your brethren should listened to me, but you decided to be idiotic and fail to realize you had no chance in the first place, creature." Gurland said darkly.
The creature face looked as if it was about to piss it's self, but suddenly it turned to a mocking smile. Gurland raised a eyebrow at this, but his confusion quickly turned to annoyance due the, though to be dead, mismatched creature latching it's teeth around the hellish being's neck and should. The teeth of the Lion like being did not hurt or harm the demon, but only aggravated it.
"You little bitch." Gurland growled. He reached over his shoulder and grabbed the back of the mismatched creatures neck. With a strong tug, the creature was pulled off of Gruland's shoulder and was thrown to the ground.
"You foolish creature forgot about my armor." Gruland said. The creature tried to crawl away, but the demon was having non of that. Gurland shot his left hand forward. His clawed gauntlet ripped through flesh and mussel of the creatures neck as he rapped his hand around the creatures spinal cord.
The mammal screamed in pain as it's partner sat shocked at the display.
With his left hand rapped around the part of the spinal cord near the creatures head, Gurland shot his right hand towards the creatures lower neck. The claws of the black gauntlet rapped around the spinal cord of the creature, only causing more pain for the lion like creature.
Gurland lifted the creature up into the air and began to pull in opposite directions with both of his arms. The creature above the demon only cried out in pain louder and louder as it's flesh and mussel was torn apart. With on final hard tug the head of the screaming creature was pulled away from the rest of it's body.
Blood poured over Gurland. It poured over his chest, face, shoulders, and arms. The demon dropped both pieces of flesh and looked directly at the cowering feline. Feeling true terror, the fearful mammal began to run away from Gurland.
Gurland ran after the mammal, quickly gaining ground on the running animal. The demon leaped upwards with his hands above his head. A fire spiraled within his grip, but a black and crimson battle axe quickly replaced it.
Gurland swung his axe downwards. The axe cut right in between the feline's shoulder blades. The axe went all the way through the mammal's body, causing it to get lodged into the ground. Gurland kept going forwards and eventually hit the ground. Tucking his body together, the demon rolled. After the roll, he jumped to his hooves, causing him to slide a few more feet in a crouched position.
Standing up regularly, Gurland walked up to the twitching body of the mammal. He grabbed the handle of his battle axe and pulled, causing blood to flow out of the wound profoundly. After yanking the rest of the axe head out, the blood covered demon strapped it onto his back and began to walk towards the area where he killed the first two creatures.
When he reached the area, a strange sent filled his flame filled nostrils despite the smell of blood. It was coming from the north, and with curiosity getting the better of the demon, he followed his nose.
