Chapter 3: Hell To Their Doorstep

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

   As we trundled through the Everfree Forest, I kept glancing at Galaxy from time to time, thinking how I could reach him. If he could fight the demon inside him, maybe he could help me fight Comet. "Alright. Comet. Spill. What did Equestria do to you?" I asked. Comet stopped and turned. He looked seriously at me.

   "What did Equestria do?" He repeated. "You mean, what did my family do? They cast me out, forcing me to live with my father. Galaxy stayed with our mother to help raise our baby sister, Crimson." He said with anger. "I'm glad she's gone!" Comet laughed. I gasped.

   "That's your sister! How could you say such awful things about her! Galaxy was heartbroken when she died!" I protested. Comet's eyes glowed, and columns of fire roared out of the ground beside him. Galaxy and I watched. I gasped in surprise as Comet started a musical number.

The world is a place where the heroes wear a smile on their face

While they take what you can never replace

Stolen moments gone forever

Well, tables can turn as my enemies will soon enough learn

I will strike a match and then watch them burn

On the pyre of obsession

They'll run ’till they drop, chasing on advantage

They’ll pay any price if they think it’s free!

I will carry hell to their doorstep; I will make them pay!

They will reap the hate they’ve sown on my judgment day!

Sleepless nights and days of damnation, soon and evermore.

I will bring the Chateau D’If, knocking upon their door!

And love is a lie swearing that no matter what it won’t die

Disappearing like a star in the sky

In the hot light of morning

But what do I care?

There are women to be had everywhere

First there’s retribution I must prepare

Mighty vengeance is mine

I have a nice show that will tempt them onward

And just when they’re sure that the prize is theirs!

I’ll deliver hell to their doorstep dressed in rich facade!

Then, I’ll burn them to the ground like an angry god!

Once they’re in my shining cathedral heed the tolling bell

It’s the final sound they hear as they descend to Hell!

Fall down on your knees

Fall down and let me hear you pray

Fall down on your knees

’till I can hear you bargaining,

scheming, begging and screaming to pay!

I will carry hell to their doorstep; they will rue the day!

They will reap the hate they’ve sown no matter how hard they pray!

It’s a place without any mercy! - fashioned in cold blood

Stones of fear and stones of doubt

No forgiveness, no way out

Only justice, then, Ameeen!!!!

     Comet cackled as the song concluded, the columns of fire dispersing. Galaxy clapped. "Excellent musical number bro." He chuckled. "That'll show Equestria not to mess with you." My husband said. I couldn't believe it. Galaxy was willingly working with Comet! I was in shock.

     "You're insane, Comet!" I shouted. Comet chuckled.

     "What's the matter, Cryssy?" He taunted. I backed up a little. "Afraid you'll lose Galaxy to me? Is it really that hard to accept that my brother chose me over you?" He asked me. I nodded.

     "I know my Galaxy would rather die than spend his life with his psychopath of a brother!" I spluttered. Comet's eyes glowed red. I knew I'd done it now.

     "I may be a psychopath, but I'm an insane psychopath!" He laughed. Meanwhile, Castiel was telling the others a way they could save Galaxy. Quillton was holding a vial of blood.

     "So, lemme get this straight, Cass." He said, holding the vial. "One dose of this every hour for eight hours will cure Galaxy?" He asked, a little suspicious. The angel nodded.

     "Yes, I helped a friend of mine once with this similar problem. His brother was also turned into a demon by the Mark." He explained. Mocha gasped.

     "Castiel, you mean that you are the Castiel from the show 'Supernatural'?! The story about two brothers hunting things and saving lives?!" She asked, almost fangirling. Castiel nodded nervously. Mocha s'queed. "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" She squealed in delight, tackling him in a hug. Quillton and Soul looked at her funny. "Anyways, how do we do this?" She asked. Castiel grabbed a vial.

     "As I said before, we many need to restrain Galaxy long enough to inject the purified blood in him." He said before Quillton's phone rang. His eyes narrowed at the number and he answered.

     "You're supposed to be dead." He told the caller. The caller's voice laughed.

     "Quillton Brooks, same as ever." The voice of Comet Nebula replied. Quillton growled.

     "You listen, Comet. Whatever fucking demon you've got possessing my best friend..." He started. Comet's voice chuckled over the phone.

     "Quillty, lighten up!" Comet laughed. "The only soul that's been demonized is Galaxy's and Galaxy's only." Comet explained. Littl did he phone, but Castiel was waiting for Comet to give their location. I was listening to the whole conversation. "Besides, you're in Ponyville, and me and my brother here are having a grand ol' time in Canterlot at the Canterlot Hotel." He said. "Room 209 is amazing!" He said. Quillton hung up before Comet could respond. Castiel nodded and vanished. Comet checked his phone. "Hmm, odd." He said, exclaiming in surprise when Castiel stood right in front of him. "How the! Who the!" He yelped. Comet soon fell unconscious as Castiel grabbed me and Galaxy and took us back to Mocha's cafe.

     "Got him!" I told the others. They nodded and took Galaxy down to the cellar. Comet's eyes opened an hour later and he looked around.

     "Galaxy?" He asked. "Galaxy?!" Comet gulped, his expression turning to anger. "Oh, they've done it now!!" He yelled as his eyes glowed a bright red, causing the windows shattering in the hotel room he was staying in. Comet was mad, and there was nothing that could stand in his way for world domination. Galaxy woke up and struggled against the chains.

      "What the hell is going on here?!" My husband demanded. Melody stood behind me, scared. I pulled Mocha aside for a minute.

      "Mocha, before when I went to go get Galaxy, Comet used the Plunder Vines to tie me up." I told her. She nodded, listening. "Do you even know what he was going to do if I didn't co-operate?!" I asked, raising my voice. Mocha shook her head. "He was going to send vines up my.....mare parts!" I exclaimed. Mocha's jaw dropped in shock.

       "He was going to do what?!" Mocha exclaimed. I nodded. "Lemme guess, Galaxy just stood there and watched?" She asked. I nodded again. "I got it." She said, walking over to Galaxy. Quillton and Sunset moved aside with everypony else.

       "Heya, Mochy." Galaxy smirked. Mocha snapped and slapped Galaxy, causing him to cry out in pain. "Ow! That smarts, you know!" He told her. Mocha rolled her eyes and brought out the needle with the first blood dose, plunging it in Galaxy's left foreleg. My husband let out a cry of pain again. "You really think you can cure me with that?" He asked us skeptically. To be honest, we didn't know if it would cure him or not. I just wanted my Galaxy back.
