The Price To Pay For Power
What Pride had Wrought
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCastle Friendship
After the night at the bar, Connor decided to crash at the castle for the night. The mane 6 also got to know Chad and we're surprised to know what he really was. Twilight was hesitant to accept him at first since he was made by necromancy but she got over it. Chad told more jokes and that was it, or at least that was all that Connor remembered. He woke up early and walked down to the kitchen to get some coffee.
He searched the kitchen and found some. He then made fried eggs and said, "It's a wonderful day today. Almost makes me forget what I'm supposed to do today." After he finished breakfast, he went to Chad's room and said, "Hey Chad, get up. We have to go do that errand today."
Through the door Chad said, "Just a minute.Sorry but duty calls. Thanks for last night, I had a great time, especially since you got me to tell jokes. Just fly out the window before he sees you." The sound of wings flapping was heard from the door and after that, Chad put on his battle outfit (which is the one from the graveyard). Chad walked out the door and said, "Alrighty let's go."
Connor had an angry look and asked, "Who was that in there?"
"Nobody.", answered Chad rather defensively.
Connor let out a sigh and said, "Fine, I don't think I'll get anything out of you so let's just forget this ever happened." Connor then thought, "Was he sleeping with Nightingale? Nah! I shouldn't keep thinking about this. Let's get this over with."
Outskirts of Ponyville
When Connor and Chad got to the meeting spot, they saw a total of 50 new recruits with Nightingale and the original team. Connor then asked, "How did you guys get all of these recruits?"
Nightingale answered, "These ponies came from all corners of Equestria and await your command."
"OK, good. Then we march, to Tartarus!", said Connor.
Chad then poked Connor on the shoulder and said, "Don't look now but I think the elements found us."
"What!?", said Connor as he turned around he saw the mane six.
Twilight asked, "Why are you and all these ponies going to Tartarus?"
"Sorry but it's my little secret.", said Connor.
Rainbow Dash said, "I knew you were trouble when I saw you."
"Sorry but I don't have time to chat, see ya.", said Connor as he threw down a smoke bomb in front of the mane six. Connor then whispered, "Everyone go, I'm opening a portal." He then summoned a portal that everyone jumped through.
When the smoke cleared, Pinkie Pie said, "Where did they go."
"I reckon they're halfway to Tartarus by now.", said Applejack.
"Let's go girls, before they reach Tartarus.", said Twilight.
Gates of Tartarus.
Connor and his crew ran out of the portal as it closed. What stood before them was a large slope that held two large doors on the top. It also had a three headed dog named Cerberus.
Chad then said, "I'll take care of this." He then jumped all the way to the top of the slope and confronted Cerberus. Chad then said as Cerberus growled, "Easy there Fido, this'll be over quick." Cerberus then lunged at Chad but he quickly punched the dog in the face and created a gory mess as it was launched through several trees in front of the slope. Chad then shouted, "Hey, coast is clear!"
Connor and the rest of the crew walked up the slope. Connor then said, "Good job Chad, now I'll just need to break the seal on the door."
Nightingale asked, "How are we supposed to do that?"
"I'm glad you asked. I'm gonna use, this!", answered Connor as he chopped the door diagonally and kicked it down.
Everypony had a look of pure awe.
Nightingale then said, "How did you do that?"
"Easy, this sword can cut through just about anything including seals.", said Connor. Connor then said, "Let's go, we have demons to slaughter and a megalomaniac to dethrone."
It was then time to assault Tartarus and the heroes were instantly greeted by an army of hellish demons. Connor smirked sadistically as he pulled out Yamato and said, "This is gonna be one hell of a party."
Connor saw that the demons targeted him and that's just the way he likes it. He then rips his blade through the demons on his left and shoots some sort of blue fire blast at his right. He then says, "I'll go ahead to fight my brother, slay any demons in your path!" Connor then rushes ahead and keeps hacking demons apart with Yamato. He kept running and killing until he saw a castle which he assumed his brother resided in but it was guarded by a gigantic, scaly, horned, two legged demon. Connor then rushes towards the demon. The demon drew a gigantic sword and when Connor was about to slice him to peices, he impaled Connor on his blade and raised it to the air which he hen proceeded to strike with lightning. Connor then went limp and the demon laughed until Connor suddenly took hold of the blade and slid himself towards the demon. He then sliced off the demons head and blood stained Connor's entire body with the demon's blade still in his chest. Connor then pulled out the blade from his chest and kicked down the castle's door. It was then that he saw Travis sitting on a demonic throne like a pompous ass. Travis was also wearing demonic armor and had a greatsword.

Travis then said, "Welcome to Hell brother."
