Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Behemoth drove through the streets of canterlot looking happier than the day before. He now contained the knowledge of sunset shimmers mind. Meaning he knew everything she knew. With this advantage he travelled around the city a lot faster than before. He also knew everyone she knew. An advantage that could prove more useful due to the many people that existed in this world.

He smiled all the way to the harbor, ignoring the many looks he got his way from homeless. It was a beautiful day with no clouds in sight. He could feel the warmth of the sun on his skin and basked in it. He closed his eyes and smelled the air. Today had gone so well he was sure nothing would ruin it. He turned the corner and saw cars parked infront of his warehouse. They had custom parts added to them, behemoth could tell they weren't police which only meant one thing.

"So they want to ruin a good day, do they?" He said, as he drove up towards the cars. He could see two people in the front notice him and rush inside. He groaned and continued driving up to the front. He got out of his bike and calmly walked towards the door. He regretted not killing them all when he first showed up. He wondered how many were inside, but didn't hesitate to open the door.

When he opened it, at least twelve men turned and looked at him. Their faces faltered a bit when they saw him. Behemoth could see he was taller than everyone in the room. They snapped out of it and looked at him with serious expressions. The men were armed with guns, knives, and bats. Weapons he knew he had nothing to fear from. He grinned and the leader of the group raised his gun.

"The boss said you were keeping dodge here? So where is he?" He demanded, pointing his gun towards behemoths face. Behemoth didn't say a thing, choosing to stare him down. He felt a little shaken, but kept his composure. He held his gun and put more weight on the trigger.

"Where is he!" He yelled

"He's traveling through a power line." He said truthfully, knowing they wouldn't believe him. The leader seemed more pissed than before.

"Don't play games with us! Don't you know who we are?" He yelled.

"It doesn't matter who you are, the result is the same." Behemoth said, raising a couple eyebrows from the group.

"Oh yeah, and what's that?" He asked. Behemoth narrowed his eyes and stared into him. The man was afraid, but hid it. Not noticing his gun was shaking.

"In five minutes you'll all be dead." He smirked. The leader stopped his shaking and got angrier.

"Drop him!" He yelled, pulling the trigger. The whole group followed his example and fired on behemoth. Each bullet landing on his shoulder and chest. The leader fired every shot as quickly as possible, as did the rest of the group. Behemoth took each shot he inflicted. His body was pushing farther and farther back as each bullet hit him.

The group fired on him until they all ran out of bullets. When the gunfire stopped, behemoth grunted and fell forwards on the floor. The group all looked at the human lying on the ground. When he didn't make a move, they assumed he was dead. The leader smiled and sighed in relief, rubbing his forehead with his elbow. The whole situation had made him sweat.

"Search the area, the boss wants dodge alive!" He ordered, facing the group. One of the guys looked at him, before noticing the hulking figure behind him.

"Look!" He yelled, the whole group turned towards behemoth and stared at him in disbelief. The leader was to shocked to say anything and tried to shoot him. He pulled the trigger and nothing came out. He only heard the click of an empty less clip. They all saw the many wounds inflicted upon him when they fired at him. Right in front of their eyes, the bullets fell out and the wounds closed. They could only stare as his body regenerated itself, too shocked to do any thing.

He looked up at them and smirked. It was his turn now. The whole building began to shake as behemoth turned back into his real form. The group looked everywhere in a wild panic, some of them losing their balance. The leader stared at behemoth, watching as his whole body was covered in a bright yellow mist. He backed up slowly, but accidentally tripped. He landed hard, but quickly leaned up. He backed up using his arms as quick as he could. When the shaking stopped they all gasped in fear at the true form of behemoth.

Behemoth looked at the scared group and shook his head, smiling. He could hear the words of disbelief and the studdering insults directed at him. The word "demon" coming out of their mouths the most. The leader crawled backwards in fear. Behemoth looked down on him and leaned towards his face.

"Wel-ll, get him!" He ordered, the group pulled out their knives and bats and proceeded to surround him. Behemoth saw the same face in all of them. A face that showed tears mixed in with sweat, but all showed the same fear towards him. They were braver than the last group. He'd have to fix that.

He channeled his magic and pulled the leader into a choke hold with the mist traveling around his neck. They all charged at him with hope that they'd kill him. The leader tried to free himself from his grasp, but his hands would phase through the mist. Behemoth lifted his arm, causing the leader to be lifted up also. As a man got close enough to stab him, he pulled the leader towards the front of the knife. He stopped his struggle when he felt the knife stab him in the back. He tried to scream, but couldn't. Behemoth smiled and closed his fist, causing his neck to cave in.

Everyone in the room could hear an audible crack as their leaders body fell limp infront of them. One of them screamed and lunged at behemoth. He caught him with the body and let go of his hold. The force of the impact enough to throw the guy and the body across the room. The walls banged and dented from the impact and the bodies slid to the ground. The knife dropping on the floor with a clang.

Behemoth channeled magic in both his hands and grabbed the necks of two men. They struggled to break free, attempting to break the magic with their knives. Their swings passing through the yellow mist. He laughed at their feeble attempts and lifted them high into the air. He slammed the left into two charging men. The force of the impact killing all three of them and cracking the floor. He threw the right guy into a man with a bat, killing them both. Behemoth kept count with five more people left alive.

They all grouped up and held their weapons firmly on their hands. He laughed and walked towards them with no rush. Two of them charged at him with their bats raised into the air. Behemoth used his magic to grab the bat from his hands and swung it on his face. The resulting impact caused the wooden bat to snap to pieces. He fell to the ground, causing the second guy to trip on his body. Behemoth turned around and grabbed a knife from the ground and levitated it to the ground standing up. The second guy landing on top of the knife, killing him instantly.

He looked up and saw the last three standing side by side. He levitated two knifes above his hands and walked towards them. He spun them around in his magical grasp before stopping them straight towards the last two on the side. He flicked both his hands, causing the knives to fly towards their targets. The two screamed until they were both stabbed in the face. The middle guy looked to his fallen comrades and dropped his knife. He tried to make a run for it, but was caught by the yellow mist. He tried to break free, but couldn't do anything. Behemoth turned him around and pulled him closer. He levitated the knife he dropped with his other hand and stopped it in midair. The man saw this and pleaded, as he was slowly dragged to the blade of the knife. He tried moving his face away, but found he couldn't lose eye contact with it. He got closer and closer to the blade until he was inches from it.He closed his eyes and waited to die.

Then he felt himself stop. He hesitated to open his eyes, but opened them anyway. He saw the blade was an inch away from his face. He looked around the room and saw behemoth staring at him. He held his grasp on him and the knife with only one hand. He walked around him with a smile on his face. His fearful eyes never losing sight of behemoth. Then he stopped and his smile faltered. He took a deep breathe and faced him.

"I will not make this any slower. I only have one demand and you will answer me, honestly. You might just live if you answer me." He said. Behemoth leaned into his face and stared into his terrified eyes.

"What is the name of your boss?" He ordered.

"Neo!" He screamed out, behemoth smiled.

"Good. Good. And where can I find this Neo?" He asked.

"He's at-" he hesitated, causing behemoth to growl. Behemoth moved the knife closer to his face, causing the man to gulp.

""Saying nothing will only make things worse for you. I can make this extremely painful for you, so if you want to runaway. I suggest you answer my questions!" He yelled into his ear.

"He's in the top of the gold tower! Glass building, can't miss it!" He screamed out. He closed his eyes and waited for the knife to kill him, but it never came. Instead he heard the knife fall and clatter on the floor. He opened his eyes and saw behemoth smiling at him. Then he heard a voice from outside shout. He knew who that was. It was the reason the group was there. He turned and saw behemoth move closer to him.

"Good timing. Bad for you unfortunately." He said, grabbing the mans face with his hand. He felt the man try to get his hand off him. The hand had muffled his cries for help and behemoth crushed his face. He could hear the pained screams, until it abruptly stopped with a crack in the neck. As he dropped him, he saw the mist envelop the room until it all came back to him. He could feel the magic make himself more powerful and the room became a lot smaller. He looked down and saw he was ten feet.

He heard the door push open and saw dodge. He asked what happened before noticing the bodies in the room. He recognized a few of the people there, but didn't know the rest. He knew who they belonged too. Behemoth was about to ask if he brought adagio before she came in behind dodge. Her face changed to a horrified expression when she saw the bodies. She reeled back in disgust at the sight of them and almost gagged. Then she saw the tall bloody Minotaur standing in the middle of the room.

And immediately she knew something was not right about him. Living in the world for thousand years meant you had a better insight to things than mortals. She could remember all the wars she and her sisters had been in through history. Leaders responsible for the deaths of thousands always had one thing in common. They were killers. And right now she didn't see the face of a savior, but the face of a killer.

She turned her eyes toward the many bodies in the room. She could see the damage behemoth had made quite clearly. Their faces were covered in blood by the knives stuck in them, three of their necks were twisted, and the rest were dealt with by force judging by the dent on the wall and cracked floor. She was so distracted looking at them that she never noticed dodge calling out her name.

"Adagio?" He said, waving his hand in front of her face. She snapped out of it and turned to face dodge, looking confused.

"What?" She asked. The place she was standing at suddenly got darker and she looked at the ground and realized it was a shadow. She turned her head and slowly looked up to see behemoth's face.

"Hello, adagio. My name is behemoth, and I need your help." He said. Adagio knew what it was he needed help with, but she couldn't stop thinking about what she saw. She didn't trust him, he'd have to earn it. And with that began introductions.


Meanwhile at tech division, the whole office was listening on peoples conversation through the mic and camera on their phone. It was here that one of them heard something odd. A man was flicking through phone audio until he could hear yelling coming through. It was muffled from being inside the mans pocket, but he knew yelling when he heard it. He listened in on the argument and could hear a man demanding they hand a man named dodge back. He assumed he was listening in on a unrelated crime taking place. He created a new tab on his computer and started typing rapidly. He tracked the phones signal to a warehouse at the harbor.

He jumped on his seat in shock when he heard the sound of multiple guns firing at once. He stopped what he was doing and focused in on the audio. He couldn't tell what was happening, but just by the audio he could hear a fight taking place. He could hear their screams and cries and continued listening. When the fighting stopped he took off his headphones and stood up from his seat.

"I got something!" He yelled, getting everyones attention. He jogged from his desk and headed into a dimly lit hallway and headed into a room with an empty desk and a tv in the room. He pressed a button on the wall and the tv immediately turned on. The face of Starlight Glimmer appeared on the screen. He respectfully saluted her.

"At ease. Did you find something?"

"Warehouse shooting. I couldn't hear much but whoevers there managed to take out everyone that was inside. I don't know what to make of it, ma'am." He reported. He saw starlight look to the side then return her attention to him.

"I'll send agents there now, report what you hear when I get there. Out." She signed off before any goodbyes could be made and sighed.

"Warehouse, just like you said."

"You ready to go?" A light blue teenage boy in a hawaiian shirt asked.

"Nothing will happen to me or make me uncomfortable?"

"It's just moving particles to a different place." He scientifically answered. She narrowed her eyes at chow's response.

"You'll be fine." Chow assured her, she gave him a look that meant she wasn't satisfied.

"All of you will be fine, including inside." She nodded and stood up from her seat.

"Everythings already there?" She asked.

"Yes, I made sure I brought everything you asked."

"Then lets go." She said. She took a deep breath and braced for whatever happened next. Chow snapped his finger and they teleported away, leaving behind confetti in their wake.


"I don't trust him." Adagio said with a serious look. They were in a small room with beds that looked like they were taken care of by whoever used to be here. The room had a broken tv in the middle and had a back door leading to the dock. Behemoth had left the warehouse after clearing the bodies, saying he had errands to run. She didn't believe him, but waited until he was gone to talk with dodge. It was starting to get dark when he left.

"You barely even know him."

"Like you do?" She retorted.

"I know what it looks like, adagio. I saw those bodies too. But those people have done worse things than me. If they didn't want to help him then that tells you what kind of people they were." Dodge said.

"And you think he even asked?" She said.

"I know he did." Dodge assured her. He hoped his defense would turn her over, but she seemed hesitant to believe him. She didn't back down and continued to argue.

"Dodge, something isn't right about him. He's hiding something that he doesn't want us to know." Adagio

"Oh, and how can you be so sure?" Dodge asked, his temper starting to rise.

"Dodge, I can feed on negative emotions. I think I know negativity when I see it."

"Oh really? Then what emotions does he feel right now?" Dodge asked, his voice filled with skepticism. He was starting to get annoyed about the fact she didn't trust behemoth after everything he told her. Adagio didn't need to respond to him, instead choosing to close her eyes and concentrate. She sat down on the bed and went into a deep thought. She looked for behemoth's mind and found it.

She could see all the negative emotions built up inside him. There was so much of it that she was starting to get stronger by it. She could feel the amount of hate built up inside of him and pushed deeper into his mind. Then she saw the negativity in all it's glory. She was right about not trusting him. She prepared to exit out of his mind until a strange pocket of emotion showed up. It was weak and small, but she could see it inside him. It wasn't negative emotions but more lighter ones. A new curiosity grew and she decided to pursue the mysterious emotions. The strain was starting to get to her as she began to sweat. Dodge was starting to get worried.

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern in his mouth. She shushed him and continued with the search. She concentrated even harder and saw a side she wished she didn't see. She could feel a lust and adoration on something she didn't know, but chose to ignore it. She felt a wall surrounding the emotions she sought. She wouldn't normally be able to penetrate it, but with the negative emotions inside behemoth, she could draw power from his own mind. She increased her usage and began to squirm and twitch. Dodge walked over to her to try to stop her, but she held a hand up.

"Don't!" She yelled at dodge. She could see the wall begin to break and increased her usage even more. The walls began to break and she could finally relax. She had never tried so hard in her life. She knew she couldn't stop there, not after breaking the border. She pushed herself into the emotions and grew confused. They were different. Far different from the emotions she felt earlier. She felt a large wave of sadness and despair hit her. The force caused her to shed her own tears. She hadn't expected to feel this much sadness from inside behemoth. Then something changed inside it.

It started to move and expand. It was reacting to her presence. It saw her and she didn't know what to do. She could feel a new emotion inside it. Hope. It charged straight towards her causing her to fall backwards on the bed as the force broke through her own mind and started looking into her. Images started to fill inside her head. Names of people she didn't know and places she had never seen before. Then a small weak voice spoke to her.

"Help"

She screamed at the pain inside her head and fell unconscious. Dodge rushed to her aid and tried to wake her. Then a knock hit the door.
