Farewell my friend

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A few hours pass, the M.O.C computer displayed the time as 6:30 P.M, one hour and thirty minutes until the burial ceremony.
Demon and Viking had moved the M.O.C to the site of the graveyard. Tombstones lay in wait for bodies to be delivered to their final resting place.

A special section dedicated to the fallen members of green team and Sev.

Demon and Viking stand over the grave specially marked for Sev,"Protector of our fair Princess Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony." Underneath the sentence was Sev's name.

"I told them his name so you could find it easier." Viking says to Demon, Who looks back at him. "Incase you felt like visiting him."
"Thanks." Demon replies.

They both return their gaze to Sev's tombstone, Demon sighs.

"We'll get even Caliber." He says in a low growl.
"We're sorry about your friend Mr. Demon." Fluttershy says in a soft voice.
"Mmhm." He hums in acknowledgment.
"Yeah dude, real bummer." Rainbow Dash voices her condolences.
"Mmhm." He hums again.
"If you need anything Sugarcube you can tell us."
"Mmhm."
"If you'd like, you can talk..." Twilight starts but is cut off.
"I don't require your pity!" Demon says in annoyance, making Twilight rear back slightly with her ears folding to her head. "I'll have vengeance soon enough."

A few moments of silence pass, then are abruptly cut short by some high pitched squeakers.

"Rarity Rarity!"
"Hey Rainbow Dash!"
"AppleJack!"
"Motherfu.." Viking starts.

Looking over his shoulder, he see's three young girl ponies that looked around the same age as spike in their teens, one had coyote brown fur with a purple main and tail, she was wearing a charcoal jacket with a teal under shirt and olive drab cargo pants with tennis shoes. Another one had a tan fur coat with a red main and tail, She wore lime green t-shirt with jean shorts with brown cowgirl boots. The last one had a white coat with a two tone mane, a majority of pink with light purple wide lines. She wore a white dress the went down to just above her knees, showing just a little if her brown shorts with sandals.

"Hey squirt!"
"Howdy there lil'sis!"
"Hello Sweetie Belle!"
"Hey girls, we saw on the TV at the clubhouse you were with Luna's fist!" Applebloom says pointing a finger at the news crew about eight feet away.
"Luna's fist?" Demon questions turning around to face the girls and spike.
"Oh yeah dude, so when you were out cold, the ponies where going crazy over conspiracy theories on who or what you were! Some think your vengeful spirit sent from princess Luna to vanquish her ponies villains! Some went with the Demon thing you got going on with those horns, and some just think your just another alien." Rainbow Dash explains.
"It seems our adoring public has taken notice of our deeds Demon." Viking chimes in.
"Great, because our presence being known is perfect for when we're on the job."
"It hasn't stopped us before and I don't think it stop us now."
"I wasn't referring to our potential targets." Demon whispers back.
"Hey mister!"

The coyote brown girl steps forward with wonder in her eyes. Demon looks down at the young filly, whom is a little nervous.

"Yes?"
"Hey um, I'm Scootaloo...and t-this is Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. We were just wondering um... w-what are you?"
"What am I?" Demon rhetorically repeats, receiving shy nods from the three fillies. "What do you think I am?"
"I um, well...you do have those horns on your head, so at first I thought you really were a demon."
"Thought?" Demon prods deeper.
"Your face is to short to have a ponies muzzle, and I've meet other aliens and seen there faces, so you have to be one of them."
"Go on."
"So that means you're a human as the said they were, you're just wearing a helmet that masks who you are. Thinking about it makes it less intimidating to talk to you, because you're not really a demon. You're just some guy in a suit of armor and a helmet."

A few moments pass in silence before Demon lightly chuckle and gives Scootaloo three slow claps.

"You're are exactly right, I am just a man in a suit of armor, unlike most of my enemy's you saw through my getup and rationalized me."

Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom giggle, emboldened by the knowledge of the truth.

"But don't be fooled, just because you have seen past my intimidating exterior, does not mean I am not dangerous."

The three fillies shrink back slightly when Demon says this, and he chuckles lightly again.

"But you need not fear me, you are three sweet little girls. I'm sure and our paths are not likely to intertwine negatively."

The fillies take a collective sigh of relief.

"Girls; Twilight!" A new voice calls out to them.

The mares and spike looks towards the source of the voice, to find a group of new ponies, three alicorn mares of varying size. The smallest one whom was pink looked to be 5,9 with a baby filly, next to her was a white coated unicorn male. A platoon of gold armored guards armed with swords and spears surrounded them.

"Cadence!" Twilight calls back.

The alicorn now know as Cadence breaks forward from the formation, Twilight meets her halfway and embrace's her. Cadence wore a dark pinkish red strapless dress with gold lining and accents. With dark pinkish red low heel pumps. she looked to be 5,8.

"Its been awhile; how are you?"
"I'm well, but the townsfolk will need more time to recover."
"With your kind and charitable heart; I'm sure they will recover sooner than later."
"Hey twily!" The white unicorn greets.
"Hey Shining!" He and Twilight hug. The white unicorn with mane of varying shades of blue had what looked to be a class A military uniform, a red service coat with gold buttons. A blue sash with his cutie mark in the center on his chest and rank tabs on his shoulders, his pants were a white dress pant held up by a black belt with a polished gold belt buckle. And for his footwear were a pair black polished Boots, he looked to be 6,1
"You doing alright lil'sis?"
"I'm fine, how have you been?"
"I've been good, taking care of your niece and the wife, same old same old."
"That's good to hear."
"Hello my old faithful student!"
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight rushes to hug the white alicorn whom looked to be 6,4 in height, of course not counting the alicorn's horn.

She like the dark blue alicorn had a unnatural flowing mane with pink, light green and light blue coloring. She wore a regal white dress with gold accents and gold colored suns on the sleeves. Along with a gold sun belt and golden crown, she looked to be 6,4.

"It is very good to see you all again, we have seen and heard the news and have come to greave with Ponyville's good ponies. To honor of our brave knights and to give thanks to our 'mysterious' allies."

Princess Celestia looks at Demon and Viking, whom had been listing over their shoulders, not bothering to turn and great the newcomers themselves.

"Can they not hear or understand us?"
"N-no they can its just, there standing over the unfilled grave of their friend."
"Oh dear!" Princess Celestia covers her mouth with her fingers.
"Those poor souls!" Cadence says with her free hand over her heart.
"Hell, been to a few burials of fallen knights in my time, never did get any easier."
"What are their names?"
"The one with the four horns is called Demon, the one with the mask is called Viking."

The Princesses and prince approach the two men, whom now both turn halfway around to face them. Their silent starring making them feel uneasy. A few moments pass before Viking speaks.

"Well say something damnit, jezz those little girls there are braver than you!"

The group is taken back by his sudden out burst, Demon makes the 'ok' sign with his hand.

"Nailed it, our first impression's are *kiss sound* superb."
"Yeah totally top notch, a plus quality, and some really top shelf stuff there." Viking replies.

The three fillies, spike and some of the girls laugh at their childish antics, the princesses recover as Twilight sheepishly laughs.

"They have...a unique pair of personalities."
"Quite." Princess Celestia simply replies.

The dark blue alicorn princess steps forward not having spoken yet. Both Demon and Viking turn all the way around and face the princess. She stands two feet away, scanning the two men up and down, she herself was 6,1. As compared to Demon's 6,5 and Viking's 6,4.

"So, you are my said to be vengeful spirit; horned one? It is not often I must look up to address another."
"So they say." Demon replies
"I must thank you for the good grace thou have given thy name. But I must ask, whom are thou, really?"
"Names Demon."

Luna raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical at his response.

"Surly, thou jests?"
"My name precedes my arrival here, my kind and yours brand me the same."
"By what reasons I wonder, by thou's appearance or thou's actions?"
"Both."

Luna stares into Demon's visor, his expression unknown to her behind it's concealing nature.

"Be that as it may, I trust from thou actions thus far thou will not be of harm to our little ponies?"
"Only problems there'll be are the ones they make with me."
"Is that a threat?"
"Its a fair warning. If they instigate, they get what's coming to'em."
"I see, I trust thy will keep to your word."

Demon gives no verbal or physical response, Luna turns and walks back to her sister's side smirking.

"He is a more bold than most dear sister, i like it!" She whispers.
"If you insist Luna but please, do establish your authority with them next time. I feel you let him speak rather rudely to you." Princess Celestia whispers back.
"Did he, is speaking direct considered rude now?" Luna asks innocently.
"I forget you have yet to grasp modern dialog and social queues." Celestia shakes her head walking forward. "Greetings friends, I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria! I believe we owe you our thanks for Ponyville's defense!"

"Not just us." Viking gestors to the graves.
"Yes, we are sorry for your loss. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to ask."

Demon and Viking look at each other for a moment, before looking back at her.

"As a matter of fact there is." Demon starts, Celestia's ear's perking up. "We were employed to assist the fallen Agents in defeating an organized crime ring, before being blinded by a bright light's flash and ending up here. As you can see they are no longer with us und their handlers have no idea what happened to them or us. They were going to pay us for our service's but they are no longer in a position to compensate us."
"So bits then?"
"If that's what your currency is called, then yes."
"Mite I ask a question."
"Which is?"
"What services do you offer?"
"Problem solving."
"Ah, I see. 'I would like to speak with both you later, I have a proposition for you'."

Princess Celestia turns and walks away, leaving the two men curious. As she does, Princess Cadence and Prince Shining approach.

"Greetings....oh..." Cadence starts before shuddering.
"Are you ok sweetheart?" Shining Armor asks his stumbling wife as he secures her in his arms.
"Something wrong?" Viking inquires.
"I have never felt somepony so void of love...I can feel the warmness of comradery between the both of you. I can feel the sorrow of your lost friend, but unlike Viking...You..Demon, I feel that every thing else is a cold dark void."
"Yeah I tell him to get out more but hey; what can ya do, he's a workaholic."
"And like I said before, business is my pleasure."
"I hope for your own sake you find somepony more to feel for."
"Well if Feminism hadn't turned woman into a bunch of cruel, narcissistic, man hating, gold digging thots, maybe I could have loved."
"I second that." Viking says.
"I don't understand?"
"I make it simple, chivalry is dead and women killed it."
"Oh please, so you met the wrong mare, you can find the right one eventually." Shining Armor dismisses them.
"Good luck with your marriage, I've seen to many guys have their lives destroy with three words from their wives."
"Which were?"
"I'm not happy."

Shining Armor and Cadence look at one another briefly before they both sigh.

"We hope you both can find light in your dark state of minds. Thank you again for defending our land; warriors." Cadence finishes.

She and her husband turning back to their friends.

Demon looks down at his watch, 8:07.

"So what now?" Spike questions.

"We wait." Twilight replies.


The day had suddenly grown cloudy and grey.

A mass of gold armored ponies and black dressed townsfolk gather at the burial sight. Even some human refugees came to pay respect.

The guards stand in mass formation, all companies side by side. Each company CO stands in front of their knights along with one knight guide arm that held their company flag. The color guard stood at the center in front of the prepared resting places. One held the sun flag, another the moon. A day guard held the day flag, a night guard the night. The Ponyville Battalion Commander stood in front of the color guard and spoke loudly for all to hear.

"Knights, citizens of Ponyville! We gather here on this somber day, to pay our respect and give thanks, to honor those who have fallen in defense her Royal majesty Twilight Sparkle! And her ponies!

At that moment, the Alpha company Captain sounded off.

"Alpha company, present; arms!" Alpha reaches for their swords and draw them swiftly, holding them with both hands close to their chest's horizontally.
Then Bravo companies CO sounds off.

"Bravo company..." They do the same as Alpha.

Then Charlie company, then Delta, Echo, Foxtrot and lastly Golf. A band of knights with musical instruments play a somber tune as caskets are brought to their graves. Some of the citizens wept, likely friends or relatives of the fallen. Twilight herself began to openly weep.

"Hey Twi, you doing alright?" Rainbow Dash questions with concern.
"Oh Rainbow, *sob* the commander is right, they were my knights. *sob* And their dead, cut down in cold blood!"
"Twilight dearie!" Rarity comforts her sorrow stricken friend.

The rest gather around her in a group hug including Cadence and Shining Armor.

"Twily try to understand, we as knights, when we are knighted and swear our fealty to her royal majesties. We understand the risks and are fully willing to lay down their life for his or her princess and her ponies. They went knowing they had kept their oath and have achieved the greatest honor they could have ever had."
"Yes Twilight." Princess Celestia spoke. "I know this is a hard reality to endure, but you must stay strong for them and ponies under your rule. Honor them and push forward into prosperity."
"*sob* Y-yes princess Celestia."

As the graves continue to be filled with caskets, a strange presence could be felt.

"Do you feel off?" Demon questions Viking.
"Yeah, feels..."
"Like an annoyance."

With that, a blue portal opened a short distance from the two. Demon and Viking draw their sidearms ready for a possible confrontation.
Suddenly a large eight foot fucked up looking orgy spawn, stepped out wearing what looked to be a tourist outfit.

"Well hello everypony, so good to be back after a simply delightful vacation in another dimension with the most devious little..."

Discord takes notice of the two men pointing their pistols at him.

"Oh, I knew the sense of disharmony and unusually long somber after feeling in Equestria had to be something wrong. I never would have expect you to be here, humans!"
"Fancy trick you did there." Demon comments.
"Looks familiar." Viking seconds.
"Looks like the same portal that caught us off guard."
"Indeed, it seems I may have accidently caused a rip in the transdemensional barer between our worlds." Discord says, snapping his eagle hand talons making his tourist getup vanish.
"You cost us a lot of money pulling us from our job freak." Demon says.
"Oh I'm terribly sorry my chaotic little human, you'll have to forgive me. I was just observing the wondrous spectacle that is Los Santos's daily routine. Traffic jams, car jacking's, street racing, bar brawls, street fights, gangs, motorcycle clubs battling with rival motorcycle clubs, VIP's targeted for assassination, shoot outs, drug dealing cartels. Something you've both had a hand in."
"Moneys good, got a problem with it?" Viking asks.
"While I am a god of chaos, I am not a murderer! A trickster and often devious one but not a murderer!"
"That just means you lack the resolve to get shit done when it matters." Viking retorts.
"Enough please!" Fluttershy interjects, flying over to Discord's side. "Discord there our friends, they helped save Ponyville from the bad guys, what your saying can't be true!"
"Oh Futtershy, my sweet innocent little pony, surly you and your friends must have deduced their profession simply by their actions?"
"Yeah there bounty hunters, some creeps do bad stuff and they go and get'em!" Rainbow Dash steps in.
"Oh Rainbow Dash, my gullible air headed tomboy." Discord summons a hand fan, waving it at himself.
"Hey!"
"That is enough!" Princess Celestia cuts everyone off. "There is a service in honor to the fallen royal guard and I will not stand by while you disturb it Discord!"
"Service to the...oh, oh my..."

Discord looks around himself, becoming aware of his surroundings. The burial ceremony had been completely halted by the disturbance. Guard and citizen alike look on in annoyance.

"My sincerest apologies everypony, please continue." Discord bows his head and takes Fluttershy's hand in his lion paw.

The service resumes, Demon and Viking holster their sidearms and stand arms crossed. The last of royal guard are put to rest. The battalion commander speaks again.

"Company Officers, put your companies at ease!"

They do as instructed, as each CO puts their company at ease, the knights rest their sword's toward the ground. Balancing their blades by the tip with both hands still gripping firm the their hilts.

"Now, we would like to honor our allies in this past conflict, the men in green!"

With that, the caskets with the agents were brought fourth. Same as the royal guard, they are laid to rest one by one. But are giving their own section. Separated by a statue between burial grounds, it was a white stone carving with a guard standing with a sword in his left hand and his right hand out stretched. Grasping the right hand of a human in the agents uniform, holding his rifle by the rail guard in the left hand. A symbol of friendship between warriors.

One grave remain unfilled, at the fore front of all others marked "Her royal majesty and elements savior, Sev."

A group of four knights carry his casket. Demon looks to them, then at his grave stone before walking forward to intercept them, Viking following shortly after. Demon and Viking stop in the path of the knights, causing them to halt confused.

"He was our friend." Viking says.
"Its our duties to see him laid to rest." Demon finishes.

The knights nod wordlessly, Demon and Viking move to both sides gripping the handle bars as the knights release them. The two men alone carrying the casket, impressing the knights as the four of them were required to limit strain of carrying the weight. Yet Demon and Viking held it up like it was air.

When they reach the grave, Demon and Viking lower Sev down slowly and gracefully. At that moment it started to rain, no one moving or speaking as it pours down upon them.
Demon and Viking stand there, starring down at there fallen friend's casket, deadly silent.
Half a minuet passes, before Demon's hands slowly rise up toward his own head.

"You sure you want to do that?" Viking asks.
"Why not?" Demon replies
"That could limit us in the future."
"I'm willing to take that risk."
"If you're so sure about it." Viking shrugs, his own hand reaching up and grasping his balaclava mask.

Demon unclasps the clip under his chin, freeing his helmet from being secured to his head. With both hands he takes both sides of his helmet, removing it from his head.

The princesses and elements along with Spike, Starlight Glimmer, give a light gasp in surprise. They having not seen the faces of their black armored allies. Shining Armor squints trying to see if he could make out any features, but with no success.

"He took off his helmet!" Rainbow squeaks.
"I can't make out any facial features from here!" Shining Armor comments.
"I wanna see!" Spike comments.

Amidst the group commotion, Pinkie Pie rush forward.

"Pinkie Pie wait!" Twilight calls out to her friend.

Pinkie Pie ether does not hear Twilight or ignores her friends plea, racing forward at a happy energetic speed.

"Pinkie Dear; come back!" Rarity shouts.
"I'll get her!" Rainbow Dash speeds forward.
"Aw heck, Pinkie get back here for ya'll cause a bigger scene than necessary!" Applejack runs after them.
"Girls!" Princess Cadence calls.
"Oh no..." Twilight covers her face with her hands.

Pinkie Pie comes to a screeching halt just behind Demon and Viking, Rainbow Dash with her incredible speed catches up almost instantly. Applejack arrives a few moments latter panting.

"Pinkie, they said they don't want their identities to be known, remember what they said could happen if the creeps they deal with found out!?"
"I know but I just have to sneak a peek, please its soooo tempting I can't help it!"
"Pinkie no, ya'll have to respect their request!"
"But I just..."
"Gaze upon Pandora's Box at your risk."
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash and Applejack voice in unison.
"I don't care at the moment, you know the risk of knowing our faces, what you do is on you."
"Eeeee!" Pinkie Pie cries walking forward quickly. "Oh thank you thank you thank you, I..." She stops standing in front of and to the side of Demon and Viking.

Her expression turns from joyous glee to empathetic hurt.
Demon held his helmet in his right hand that dangle at his side, his hair color was light brown and shaved down to a stubble along the sides and back of his head, he had only a few inches of hair off the top. It looked to be a High and Tight hair cut style with goatee facial hair, he also had hazel blue eyes. His face had evidence of weathering with age and experience that was clear and visible.

Viking on the other hand, was almost the complete opposite. He had dull black hair that reached down to his shoulders, A full, if scraggly beard and steel grey eyes. His skin lightly rankled with laugh lines and crow's-feet, also was rather pale in complexion compared to Demon's sun kissed complexion. He had a jagged scar across his right brow, continuing upwards into his hairline.

Their expressions is what Pinkie Pie felt sorry for, they were both somber and dejected looking. The pain of loss still strongly evident on their faces. Pinkie Pie's color visually darkens and her mane deflates.
Demon and Viking's eyes shift to look at her but no other movement was made.

"Is that something we should be concerned about?" Demon questions
"*Sniff* N-no, I'm sorry." Pinkie Pie puts her left hand over her heart hand raises her right to reach out the them, only to be stopped by Demon razing his own hand.

"Don't." He simply says, before lowering his hand.

Pinkie Pie slowly retracts her hand, before letting both drop to her sides and walking away slowly.

"Pinkie?"
"Ya'll alright Sugarcube?"
"I could feel their pain in my own heart, it hurt so much girls!" Pinkie Whined, embracing Rainbow Dash in a hug.

The rest of the group slowly approach from behind the three mares.

"Oh my, Pinkie what's wrong?" Futtershy asks concerned, not getting a response.
"My little pony, does the funeral trouble you to much to remain composed?" Princess Celestia inquires, still with no response.

Demon looks to Sev's grave one last time, before looking to Viking and motioning left with his head toward the M.O.C.. Viking nods and they both turn a start walking, slowly scanning the group with their eyes.
Everyone stopped in their tracks taking in what Pinkie Pie had saw, the faces for all of them to see in there moment of passing. As Demon and Viking pass the group and their backs face them as they continue to walk, they quickly cover them selves with their head wear to shield their identities from the rest of the world.

"Wait, where are you going?" Twilight asks.
"Hunting!" Demon replies with anger and determination.
