Equestrian Devil Hunter

Canterlot is known as the garden capital of Equestria. It has a lush history with plenty to see and do. One place that catches the eyes of all that get to see it is the Canterlot royal garden. Rich with green vegetation and wildlife many call it The Garden of Eden. However, on this day this garden had some new guests one being a crying girl.

She looked like she was only six years old with dark indigo purple hair with pink highlights and was also wearing a magic kindergarten school uniform. She was sitting underneath a tree balling her eyes out.

"Ugh!! Who is doing all that crying!"

Twilight turned around to see a boy around the same age as her with white hair wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts. However, what caught her attention was the cast on his arm. She noticed his frown and tried to wipe her tears away.

"I-I'm not crying! I'm just mad that's all!" She proclaimed with a sniffle.

The boy looked at the tree and saw a weird looking doll hanging from a tree branch.

"You crying over that thing?" He asked with a sigh as he walked over to the tree.

"LIKE I SAID I AM NOT CRYING! Those bullies put Mr. Smarty Pants up in a tree, and I can't get him down!" She explained as the boy looked at the tree.

"look If I get your toy will you stop with the waterworks? I'm trying to get some sleep."

The girl nodded as the young man turned towards the tree. In one swift motion, he kicked the tree hard enough that the doll fell and landed right in the boy's hand.

"Wow~! That was amazing!" She shouted with stars in her eyes.

"Yeah well, I am pretty awesome." The boy said with a cocky smirk.

The boy then threw her the doll and started to walk away only to stop when he noticed she was following him.

"What do you want now? I already got your doll for you."

She froze on the spot with a faint blush on her face and tried to come up with an excuse. The boy sighed and walked over to a bench and laid down for a nap.

"S-So what's your name?" She asked while sitting down on the grass in front of him.

".......Nero." The boy said through closed eyes.

"Nero huh? Nice to meet you I'm Twilight Sparkle." She explained with a bright smile.

Nero instantly shot up with a shocked look on his face which startled her a little.

"Sparkle!? Wait a second you're HIS sister!?" Nero asked in a panicked voice.

"Yup, that's my little sister alright." A voice exclaimed from behind which caused Nero to freeze on the spot.

Twilight looked up to see her older brother and current Knight in training, Shining Armor. He was currently around 16 years old making him one of the youngest soldiers to reach the level of a knight.

"SHINY! What are you doing here!?" Twilight said with a bright smile.

"Oh just picking up a slacker. Isn't that right N-E-R-O~?"

Nero was currently frozen solid not daring to turn around to see the face of his tormentor.

"Oh? You two know each other?" She asked as Shining Armor put his arm around Nero.

"Yup, this little guy is my apprentice! I've been teaching him all kinds of neat stuff! Though I never thought he could try to pull the moves on my little sister!" He exclaimed with a barreling laugh as Nero shot up from the bench with a bright blush on his face.

"IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT!"

This only caused Shining Armor to laugh even louder as Nero tried to cover his face while Twilight looked at the two in confusion.

These peaceful days were short in number but they would last a lifetime in the mind of Nero. After all, days like this were rare for the demon hunter seeing as his past prior was filled with bloodshed.

Suddenly the gardens turned black as Nero was left all alone. In its place, a blue flame engulfed the area and a demon appeared. It was a dazzling blue color which Nero remembered all too well.

"It's time to wake up boy......Your gonna miss your stop!" The demon shouted as it drew it's sword and swung it towards him.

Nero Woke up to the sound of the train whistle blowing. A cold sweat raced across his body as he felt the sunshine on his face.

"Sir? I need to see your ticket."

Nero turned to see a soldier dressed in the usual white and gold plated armor. It was always strange how every soldier in the Equestrian military looked the same.

Nero reached into his coat pocket and handed the man his ticket. After the soldier saw the ticket he handed it back, however, Nero wasn't exactly off the hook yet.

"Sir do have a license to hold a firearm like that?" The soldier asked while pointing at Nero's revolver.

"Ugh...Listen, buddy, I'm tired and I've been working really late recently. Could you just cut me some slack here?" Nero asked pleadingly while the guard looked at him with a blank expression.

The guard cuffed Nero and sent another guard to retrieve his things. Nero felt his eyebrow twitch as he was carried away. The only thing that was on his mind was...

"How does this always happen to me!!!"
