Armored Demon Of Equestria
Chapter Two
Previous ChapterNext ChapterZajar has seen many things in his long life with it mostly being demons of other sizes and shapes and even angels. He seen the cruelness of humanity but has also witnessed their compacity for kindness and courage. Going through a strange vortex of White and black light was something he was not expecting. He was actually expecting to be in hell with Yami standing over him to begin his torment for all of eternity. So it surprised him when he felt himself fall out of the vortex though the brightness of the two colors forced him to close his eyes even as he felt himself land on a knee on the ground. He heard voices around him but was too busy thinking about what transpired before this point. He heard someone walking towards him but judging from how slow it was moving he guessed it was scared and cautious. It was probably an angel to make sure he was dead or a human. When he heard it was a few feet he opened his eyes causing it stop and stare at him. Zajar was surprised at what he saw.
'Nalkra ayh kilgjis? (What are these?)' Zajar thought as he stared at the strange creatures that surrounded him though they kept their distance.
He stared at some type of creature that was way too colorful to be a demon but wasn't an angel or human either. It was purple with a deep purple mane and tail that had a pink stripe through it and had a horn protruding out of the top of its head. It was also giving a look of curiosity mixed with fear. He also saw out of the corner of his five more of these things....and something else. He saw a brown one with a blonde mane and tail that was wearing a.....helmet of some kind? She was giving him a look of cautious. Next one had a pale pink mane and tail and had wings which matched its fur that she kept tucked to its sides. Moving to the next one he saw a sky blue one that had all sorts of color in its hair and tail. He also saw it had dark pink color irises. It was also glaring at him.
Glancing over he saw one with a coat that was a light pink color while its mane and tail were of a much darker hue. Its mane and tail had an inflated appearance to them and looked as if a firecracker had been set off inside them. It was also smiling a big smile that shouldn't even be possible at him. The last one coat was white with an indigo mane in a fancy curled style. Its moderate azure eyes stood out with her light blue mascara and eyelashes.
After getting a good look at them, he slowly began to rise to his feet causing the purple one to back away with fear while the other ones let out screams of fright and took off. Zajar just watched as these things ran around screaming......did one just jump through something? Zajar saw the ones that he saw out of the corner of his still there. The others had walked over towards their friend and stood by her. He watched as the blue thing flew towards him until it was right in front of him. "Rainbow Dash!"
Was that the name of this one? He watched as it poked him a few times with its hoof. Zajar watched as it continued to do so then suddenly it turned and kicked him right in the face with its back.....leg?
Twilight and her friends stared up at their friend with wide eyes as they saw her kick it in the face as hard as she could. All they heard was a ding like you would hit metal. Everypony and demon just stared at her as she flew down towards her friends. Landing softly she glared up at Zajar who simply stared at her with a neutral expression. All of sudden Rainbow let out a grunt of pain as she fell on her flank clutching her hoof while her friends stared at her. "Good Celestia! What are you made of!? Pure metal!?"
Zajar just stared at her. She was technically right.
"Twilight wat in tarnation is this thing?!" Applejack shouted while Twilight simply stared at the thing that stood there not moving but simply staring at them.
'Perhaps it is curious about us just like we are of it?' Twilight thought as she stared at this thing.
"Twilight!"
Twilight shook her head to see her friends staring at her. She turned her head towards Zajar who still stared at them. She slowly approached it ignoring her friend yelling her name. She slowly circled it while Zajar just watched her. "It appears to be eight meters tall." Twilight said as she continued to circle around it and even put her hoof on its armor while Zajar didn't move just letting it do what it wanted to do.
"The plates covering its skin appears to be made of metal, possibly stronger than any metal in Equestria and is bipedal like the diamond dogs."
Zajar cocked his head to the side when he heard it say that word. "Bupdal? (bipedal?)"
The ponies including Twilight froze when they heard him speak. They slowly looked up at him only to see him staring at them with......a look of curiosity now. "It just spoke!" Twilight yelled excitedly though her friends were still cautious except Pinkie who disappeared from everypony sight.
"That's nice and all sugarcube but we don't know if its friendly or what in the hay it even said." Applejack spoke while still giving Zajar a look of untrust.
"Look at how tall I am!?" Everypony and Zajar looked to see Pinkie was on his shoulder.
"Pinkie get down here!" Rainbow yelled.
Zajar just stared at his right shoulder then to the ground and back at his shoulder. "Nalkren did lat even geav up katu? (How did you even get up here?)"
Everypony glanced over at Fluttershy who epp and hid behind her hoofs on the ground. "Do you know what he is saying?"
Fluttershy was quiet for a minute then spoke but more of a whisper. "I can't."
Everypony glanced back up to see Pinkie was in front of the thing face hanging upside down. "Hitheremyname'sPinkie Pie!what's your name?Doyoulikecupcakes?Areyouagiant?Doyoulikeparties?"
Zajar just watched as this thing continued to talk and talk without even breathing. He just stared at her blinking while she continued on. Is she some kind of demon in disguise and had lost its mind a long time ago when it was trapped here. Did that mean all these things were demons once and Yami sent them here as punishment?
Zajar blinked when he saw the pink thing who he figured name was Pinkie was suddenly enveloped by a purple aura and suddenly disappeared causing Zajar to blink. 'Nalkra? (What?)'
Glancing over to the things he saw the one known as Pinkie was there now and was being scolded by her friends. "Pinkie you can't do that! What if he is a spy!"
'Ukpy? Nalkra ku kigija? (spy? What is that?)'
"She's right sugarcube. What if it's just a trick?"
"Silly willies! Tricks are for colts and fillies!" Pinkie said with a large smile while her friends just deadpanned at her.
Zajar just couldn't help but find them curious. Why did they do this with each other? he then saw the white one was giving him a scrutinizing stare. She was probably going to scream or something. Like all humans who feared demon except for a few but, for the most part, they loved angels.
"YOUR PLATES ARE TOO PLAIN!"
Zajar just blinked at what the white thing said. Too plain? What in the world does that even mean?
"Really? We have a strange creature here and you worried about its fashion?" Rainbow asked while glancing at Rarity.
"Well just look at it!" Rarity exclaimed while pointing at Zajar......in a lady like manner.
Twilight stared at Zajar with a curious expression. 'That language it spoke......why does it sound familiar?'
"I don't think it cares whether or not you approve of its fashion." Rainbow deadpanned.
"Why I never!"
Glancing from left to right at these beings Zajar wondered what they are, though. As he thought more of the matter he stopped his train of thought as he watched the purple one vanished in a purple flash. Where could she have possibly have gone?
Spike moved closer to his objective. Finally after a few long hours of working and putting up with Twilight antics Spike could finally accomplish his goal. It would take a great deal of concentration to complete this. Twilight nor her friends would be able to stop him as he inched closer. There was a flash of purple blinding Spike causing him to fall over and with him a stack of cards he stacked. "Ow." Spike rubbed his head with his claw and glanced up to see his cards had fallen off.
"Twilight." Glancing over he saw she was looking through books really quickly. "Um, Twilight?"
"I know I heard that language before!" Twilight muttered to herself completely ignoring Spike who was staring at her in concern.
Spike sighed as he realized she was in one of her moods. Glancing down at the cards then back to Twilight he thought about how he should clean up the cards but just shrugged his shoulder and walked up the stairs towards his bed. "I need a nap anyway."
Twilight was glancing at each book title with her eyes but sat it back when she saw it wasn't the one she was looking for. Twilight pulled one more book out labeled the demon tongue. She growled and went to put it back but stopped. "Why not?" She pulled the book back out and saw its cover. She remembers this book now. She bought it an antique shop from Canterlot at her last visit. She stared at the silver decorations adorning the cover of the book. The metal insignia attached to the front appears as the top half of a skull with circling tentacles coming out of the bottom of the skull, where the teeth should be. The holes for eyes hold blood red gems that while beautiful, seem dull and do not sparkle as rubies should.
She slowly opens it and quickly reads through the pages.
There is little chance of our ever understanding the various orders of demons and their relationships to hell. Of the varieties of demons that appear in our world, and the varieties of their relationships to their fellows and their demons patrons, there is no end. In one place and time they are seen to be this, and in another place and time they are seen to be the opposite, and in another place and time they are seen to be both this and that, in completely contradictory terms.
There are no limits to the varieties of behaviors that may be observed, and in one place they may be this, and in another place they may that, and all rules describing them are always found to be contradictory and in exception to others. And even were the demons to speak the truth, how can we know if they know themselves, or that there is any truth about them that is to be known or are all arrangements among the demons protean and ever subject to change?
Demons have been around since possibly the beginning of time. Though not much is known about the demons it can only be assumed that they are evil considering any demon summoned or came into contact as ended in the death of those who tried to speak with them or were tricked by them into evil. "Their voices were rich and gutteral, and their tongue was like the crack and boom of rolling thunder" Their language is not very known either though research has shown a few words of them being spoken and have been translated.
One sentence we were able to translate is ayh lat ij drok? Which translates into are you a demon? If the said being says yeuk which means yes then quickly defend yourself. Demons are to never be trusted no matter how nice they seem.
Twilight turned the page but to her dismay it was blank. She turned through all the other pages to find the same thing but then her eyes widened when she remembered she left her friends alone with that thing that might be a demon! Her horn glowed brightly then there was a flash as she teleported.
Zajar just stared at these beings who stared back at him ever since their friend left. It seemed even the energetic pink one was quiet though she still had her smile. So here they were staring at each other. Zajar was cut off from his train of thought as there was a urple flash. Glacning over along with the ponies he saw the purple one returned. "Twilight!" So that was her name.
Twilight ignored her friends as she stared up at Zajar and shouted. "Ayh lat ij drok?" Her friends stared at her with looks of confusion while Zajar was surprised at how she spoke in the demon tongue.
Zajar was quiet for a few minutes then finally spoke. "Yeuk." As the words left his mouth he saw her horn glow before a magic bolt slammed into his face not hurting him but blinding him slightly.
"Wat in tarnation Sugarcube!? Ah understand rainbow but you?"
Twilight kept her eyes on the demon in front of her and explained. "It is a demon! I read a book that explained about its kind." Twilight spoke with venom of this thing.
Zajar recognized that tone. It was the same one humans used and angels alike about his kind. Time to leave.
"Should we get the elements then?"
Before Twilight could answer she was cut off as Zajar began to sprint off towards the forest causing loud booming footsteps. "He's getting away!" Dash shouted as she flew towards him with her friends following suit.
Zajar ran faster as he could hear them trying to catch up to him. He saw a flash of blue and felt something kick his face and let out a grunt of pain. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw it was the blue pony. Not stopping he continued to sprint towards the forest making sure he didn't smash anything. As he was a few feets away he saw a purple shield like thing pop up blocking his path towards the forest. Zajar narrowed his eyes as he sprinted faster and faster.
Twilight and the other caught up to their friend who was sitting on the ground holding her hoof. "I'm fine! It's getting away!"
Twilight glanced towards the forest and began channelling her magic and soon a barrier formed in front of the demon. "That should stop him."
What happened next caused everypony jaw to drop open wide while their eyes grew to the sizes of dinner plates. Instead of stopping Zajar sprinted harder and once he reached the barrier lowered his shoulder ramming into it causing it to break and allowing him to sprint right through it towards the forest where everypony saw him disappear.
The ponies sat there trying to process what happened. Pinkie was the one to break the silence. "Popcorn anypony?"
Zajar ran and ran until he could no longer see the town or village whatever they called. Satisfied he stopped running and stood there for a few minutes. Soon the armor plating on his mouth shifted to the sides where it allowed his mouth to be seen revealing sharp teeth like a great white. He opened his mouth and let out a sigh then had his armor cover his mouth back up again. Looking around at the trees he decided he should shrink so he could hide more easier. His body began to glow bright red as he was shrinking down until he stood at six foot three then his body stopped glowing. Glancing up towards the sky he wondered what else could happen.
