The Return of the Mad God
Guess Who's Back?
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTyrant was sitting in a lawn chair, looking up at the sunshine with a smile. A martini was in his right hand while a bloodied battle-axe was in his left. He had just beheaded a serial-killer who was paranoid about every damn thing, so the Judges of the Afterlife decided to off the fellow. He was sitting in a nice, calm area because not that many creatures that come to the Afterlife are terrible. Hell, most of them are pretty damn kind.
Suddenly, a gravelly voice boomed, "Tyrant!"
That caused him to jump off his lawn chair and fall face-first into the sandy beach...
Tyrant's Perspective
I pulled my head off the sand and brushed my face, looking up at the sky. One of the giants appeared, looking down at me calmly. I frowned, "Apart from telling me you just fucked up my nice afternoon, what other information do you want to give me?" My sarcasm was clear.
The giant smiled, "As mad as always, as to be expected." Then it's face went neutral, "Tyrant, I came here to inform you that you have served your time here."
A large smile formed on my face, and I got onto my knees, throwing my fists into the air and shouting, "FUCKING FINALLY!!"
The giant teleported me into the judgement hall of the giants and spoke clearly, "Do you remember the terms of our agreement?" I nodded, and it continued, "Then, please, choose a form you would like to use."
I slowly morphed into my form; large, black-feathered wings sprouted from my back. After that, a horn appeared on my forehead. Then my head and body turned into one that was of an Alicorn's, a bit taller than Celestia. My body grew fur that was jet-black, along with the mane that was jet black with a grey top. The tail was the same color scheme with a jet black color and grey top. Both of them were ragged and unkempt, just the way I like it. I licked my teeth, which were very sharp than my old ones. I almost looked like my old pony form, just a bit taller.
Smiling, I looked back up at the giants, "Alright, I'm ready."
The Judges nodded, whispering to each other. When they finished, the tallest giant, Yor, looked down at me with a pleasant smile, "Tyrant, as a parting gift, we'll give you one more choice."
They paused for a while, and I twirled my hand in a "please continue" motion. "Which is...?"
Yor spoke again, "We're giving you the choice to choose which power you want to start with."
I smiled, "Thanks, guys. If I have to choose, I'd like my regenerative abilities for in case I lose a limb or get cut up." The Judges nodded in agreement, and slowly I felt the sore spots on my body heal. "Aw yeah, that's more like it."
Yor smirked, "We hope you come back, Tyrant, it's been a pleasure."
I nodded back, "Yeah..." I was teleported to a forest, without any clue where I was, "...Those Giant bastards..." Instead of exploring the forest, I instead spread my wings and flew into the air, higher than the trees so that I got a good idea of where I was. Once I was above the trees, I took a look around the area. To the North was Ponyville and beyond that was Canterlot. To the East was just... Baltimare? How high did I fly? Fuck it, I'll learn later. To the South was my castle, that seemed to be flocking with ponies, and then the badlands beyond it. To the West was the Whitetail Woods and then Las Pegasus. And... that's about it from what I could tell.
Flying over to my castle, I studied the ponies going in and out of my castle. I wanted to see what all the commotion was about, but now I see why; my castle appears to have been turned into some sort of museum. Landing on the ground a ways away from the entrance, I planned out how my entrance should go.
Stepping out into the light of the Sun, I walked over to the bridge that hung over the lave moat. The ponies near the entrance backed away in surprise and a few gasped as they saw me, but I chuckled at their reactions. It felt so good to be back again. I crossed over the bridge and pushed the large doors open. And as I expected, my entire castle had been turned into some sort of museum.
"Luna, why must you do this...?" I asked myself, sighing as a few guards approached.
"Halt, sir!" One of the guards shouted as they all began pointing their spears at me. "Who are you?" I must have trespassed onto my own castle grounds.
I smirked, "Remember me? It's your pal Tyrant!"
The guard scoffed, "Yeah, right. That story is just a myth." A myth? A fucking myth? Do ponies really forget the past that easily?!
I glared at the guard, stomping over to him menacingly. The other guards shouted things like, 'Step back!','I'll kill you!', and all that. I leaned close to his face, snarling at him, "Call them off, otherwise I'll tear your goddamn head off..."
The guard narrowed his eyes, "No!"
I smiled menacingly, bringing one of my hooves to his cheek and began slowly caressing his cheek, the little rubs making him a little frightened. "You're messing with a God, my friend. If you want to continue living, I suggest you listen to my commands." I then shoved him onto the ground, looking down at him while smiling, exposing my sharp teeth.
He looked on in horror, "What are you...?"
I chuckled, "I'm the one who's gonna kick your ass if you don't STAND DOWN!" I then stomped my way over to him, baring my sharp teeth while growling.
He had enough, "Stand down men! I said STAND DOWN!"
I stopped, seeing as the other soldiers stopped pointing their spears at me. They were all glaring at me, but that is to be expected as I did just nearly break their captain. Speaking of which, I turned to back with him with a plain expression, "You're so damn lucky they stopped. Now if you'll excuse me..."
I unfurled my wings and took off into the sky, heading towards Canterlot in search of Luna and Twinkle. I swear to god, if Blueblood had made my daughter's life rough while I was gone, I will sock him in the face and break his muzzle. Ugh... I really fucking hate him so much. Dude's a douche.
Time Skip: Thirty Minutes Forward
Canterlot castle was in view, and I smiled with relief. Boredom might have killed me if it was any farther away. The city looked the same from what I could tell, the only difference being the new stained glass windows, one being me blowing up Nightmare, the other being of what looked to be my daughter as a foal.
I knew how I was going to make my entrance, and it was going to be perfect!
Lining myself up with my stained glass window, I folded in my wings and dived towards it, a big smile appearing on my face.
Twinkle's Perspective
I was sitting with Aunt Celestia in Day Court, learning how to manage and control one. It was so wonderful! I was also glad that cousin Blueblood wasn't here, because he's a jerk. Wherever I went he would talk about my dead dad, which would hurt my feelings. But Mom said that he was going to come back, and that he would personally deal with cousin Blueblood.
I sighed sadly, my hope of him ever returning slowly fading away. It's been years, and he still hasn't shown up...
I heard a loud crash, then the sound of gasps of shock and fright. Looking up, I saw that there was an Alicorn stallion with his chest puffed out proudly. His smirk was quite frightening, as they looked to be very, very sharp. His red slitted eyes gazed across the room, searching for something or somebody. He looked to be somewhat old, as he had some gray hairs in his mane and tail.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on me, and he smiled calmly. He then spoke in a low voice that Minotaurs usually have, "Twinkle..."
Tyrant's Perspective
My daughter entered my view, and I smiled calmly, "Twinkle..." Her fur was dark blue, just like Luna's, and her mane and tail were black with a couple turquoise areas. Her eyes were also dark red, almost like mine.
Celestia, however, seemed cautious with me, "Who are you?"
I turned my gaze to her, my smile turning into a frown, "Tyrant, Princess Celestia, and I have come to see my daughter." I began walking to her, only to be stopped by guards who pointed spears at me.
The lead guard, Shining Armor, glared at me, "Tyrant died saving his own daughter and Princess Luna, and you dare pretend to be Princess Twinkle's daughter?!"
I returned Shining Armor's glare with one of my own, which made him shrink back a bit, "I know what I did thirteen years ago, Shining. The pain I went through was almost unbearable when I exploded in the sky so I'm sure I'll know my own history." I took another step forward, but a sword was pointed in my direction by Shining.
"Prove it." He stated, holding his sword at my neck.
I smirked, "You're making a mistake, Shiny. If you want proof you better be ready to enter the hospital for a few weeks." I then leaned into his sword, the edge poking into my neck slightly causing a little dribble of blood to pour out.
Shining stared at me coldly, his eyes never leaving mine. The tension in the room was high as the Nobles, my daughter, Celestia, and the rest of the Royal Guard held their breath. Shining didn't care, I could tell from the look he was giving me. I didn't care either, I just wanted my daughter. Suddenly, Shining smirked, "Nice to have you back, Tyrant."
I smiled back, "Nice to see you, Shining." He put his sword in its sheath and my wound healed almost instantly. I chuckled, whispering, "Still got a stick shoved up your ass?"
He chuckled, whispering back, "Let's not fight right now, go give your daughter a hug."
I nodded, turning to Twinkle who was hiding under Celestia's wing. I made my way over to Celestia, who smiled at me. She turned to Twinkle and spoke softly, "It's alright, niece, he's your father. He would never hurt you."
Twinkle looked at me, before looking away. She must be very scared of me or very shy, and I hope it's the latter. Sitting down, I extended a hoof to her, smiling happily, "Come on, Twinkle, I don't bite. Not you, at least." Celestia chuckled softly at that, but Twinkle only peeked. Seeing the sincerity in my eyes, she hesitantly stepped out from Celestia's wing.
She then made her way to me slowly, giving me a cautious look, "D... Dad...?"
I nodded, "That's right, sweetheart, it's me. Dad." She suddenly ran at me, throwing her forelegs around my neck and hugging me tightly. It was nice to see her again, no matter what the cause. A tear ran down my face and onto my now smiling cheeks. "I missed you, sweetheart."
I heard her sniffle, and her voice was filled with choked sobs, "I missed you too, daddy." We stayed like that for a few more moments, but I pushed away from our hug and looked into her little, sad eyes with a smile.
I then stood up, looking at Celestia, "Where's Luna?"
Celestia pointed at the secondary throne room doors, "In her quarters, resting."
I nodded, looking down at Twinkle. "Want to walk with me to your mom's room?" Twinkle nodded happily, to which she ran ahead and went through the doors before I had the chance to stop her. She must have been very excited to tell Luna about how I'm back and all that. Turning to the crowd of nobles and guardsmen, I waved, "Hello, ponies." I got a few happy replies, but a few other were rather aggressive than I'd like.
Sighing, I headed towards the doors Twinkle had went through, rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness of the crowd. I mean, I knew I destroyed my own window and made a huge mess during Day Court, but is that any reason to get mad at me? Well... now that I think about it... nevermind.
Pushing the doors open, I saw Twinkle in the center of the hall, looking forward in fear. Looking ahead, I saw Blueblood and two other nobles laughing together as they made their way down the hall. As they neared Twinkle, Blueblood looked at Twinkle with a smug smile, "Well, what do we have here? The fatherless foal alone in the hallway, that's what." He laughed along with the rest of the nobles, which made my blood boil.
Twinkle, however, glared at Blueblood, "You're one to talk, Blueblood. Your father died on the streets, like a pig. At least my father died protecting the entire bucking planet." Love her even more now.
Blueblood glared at Twinkle, before raising his hoof and striking her, sending her to the ground. "Don't talk about my father, foal."
I snorted, stomping my way over to Blueblood. "You dare touch her?!"
Blueblood looked at me in an uninterested, "Who are you? Another peasant?"
If looks could kill, he'd be melting, "I'm the one who's going to fuck you up, Blueblood. It's me," He looked at me frightened, "Uncle Tyrant."
He looked at me fearfully, "Y-You're supposed to b-be dead!"
I used my magic to throw the nobles next to him at the walls. I then used my magic to grab Blueblood by his mane and drag him over to me, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" My voice boomed, and I threw him at the wall, before finally bringing him back up to my face, "YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN AND I FUCKING SWEAR THAT I WILL BREAK YOU!" I then slammed his head into the ground, and he groaned in pain. I took a deep, calming breath, gritting my teeth.
I turned to Twinkle, who looked up to me in awe. "Wow..."
I quickly trotted over to her side, worry in my eyes, "Are you okay?!"
She nodded, getting up, "Yeah, this isn't the first time he's done this-"
"WHAT?!" I asked, turning around and glaring at Blueblood. I snorted, "When he wakes up he's gonna be punished so severely that he won't know what being royalty feels like anymore." I turned back to Twinkle, and she looked at me in fear, and I realized I just shouted at her, "Oh my, I'm so sorry sweetheart. I didn't mean to scare you with my harsh words."
She nodded, her fear slowly dissipating, "It's alright daddy." She hugged me, "I'm glad you dealt with him."
I chuckled, hugging her back, "Trust me, when he wakes up he'll be sitting in the dungeons before I decide a proper punishment."
Suddenly, a door opposite of the throne room doors bursted open, and we looked down the hall and at Luna, who was looking out with anger, "What in Celestia's name is going on?!" Her eyes looked at the nobles and Blueblood, then on me and Twinkle. Her eyes only hardened, "Put down my daughter or face the consequences, sir." Her horn lowered and glowed with a dark blue aura.
I chuckled, setting down Twinkle and turning to Luna, "Love, you remember me, don't you?"
Luna looked at me with caution, still pointing her horn at me, "Love?" I nodded, and she looked at Twinkle who decided to hug my foreleg. She turned back to me, "The only one who called me Love was-" She gasped, "...Tyrant?"
I nodded, "Damn straight." She flew over to me, tackling me with a bear hug that would've squeezed the life out of me had she not broken out of it early.
She gave me a big kiss on the lips, and I chuckled when she stopped, "Didn't know you missed me so, love."
She kissed me on the muzzle, "You don't even know."
Twinkle then jumped up and hugged us both, "Now we're a big happy family!"
Luna chuckled, before turning to Blueblood and the nobles, "What happened here?" I explained the story to Luna, from start to end, and she was mad. "He has no idea what I'm going to do to him."
I smiled smugly, "Yep, he's got no clue. Anyways, I've been gone for awhile, so how about you guys fill me in with what happened over the years."
Luna smiled, hugging me, 'Alright, but you must promise you will never pull a stunt like thirteen years ago."
I chuckled, "No promises."
"Good enough."
