The King of DreamsChapter 7- KarmaFinal Chapter- JusticeBonus Chapter-Pinkie's Party and the Question that was never askedChapter 4-Return to MortalityChapter 5- The demon learns about compassionProloguePrologue 1000 years ago (By the way, ponies are about level 3.5-4 on the scale) Ponies were freaking out. The world was in total chaos. Buildings were floating, milk was exploding, cups were drinkable, rain was chocolate and ponies were acting like animals. One stallion, with no important name, however, seemed OK with this. A little too okay. "Calm down everyone!" He called out. "No one's hurt, are they?" Too bad no one paid attention to him. They continued to run around. "I SAID CALM DOWN!" He screamed. This time they paid attention. "Is anyone hurt?" The ponies checked themselves for injuries, rather comically. "See?" he replied, after they settled down. "The chaos isn't all bad." This seemed to be the switch for the ponies, who adamantly disagreed with him. "What are you talking about?!" A mare screamed. "That's minotaur crap!" A stallion yelled. "What about my baby?! She'll grow up in a chaotic Equestria!" He tried to calm them down, but they started throwing things at them and eventually, a hot-blooded stallion came up and punched him, knocking him out easily. He woke up in his dreamscape, seeing the un-ruler of Equestria, Discord. "So you like my chaos, huh, stallion?" "Well, I'd rather have a peaceful Equestria, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be." Discord pouted. "Well, I guess I won't save you after all." Before he could ask what that meant, he woke up, tied to an upside down tree. The ponies splashed a bucket of water on his face, forcing him fully awake. He looked around, his pupils shrinking as he started panicking. "If you like his chaos so much--" The voice made him turn his head, and he saw a mob of mares and stallions. He was forced out of his thoughts when torches were waved in his face. "Then you can die in it." "Wha--" His question was replaced by his screams of agony as the torches were chucked at the tree, setting both him and the wood on fire. All he saw as his eyelids burned away was Discord, standing over him with a look of...was that remorse? Discord then waved a paw over him and his entire body was engulfed in flames. Then, everything went black. Author's Note Pretty dark, huh? Well let me know how I can improve below. Chapter 1-AwakeningAfter the plunderseed incident Pinkie Pie skipped through town, humming her life's theme song to herself. She was going to visit her friends today, and they always did something fun when they got together. They would do something special today. Just not what she expected. She gasped when she heard an explosion, and when she looked in the direction of the Everfree, saw smoke and heard high pitched screaming. /With the Cutie Mark Crusaders, just minutes before/ "You think this is safe? Every time we come here, bad stuff happens." Sweetie Bell said, while nervously looking around. "Oh relax. Rainbow Dash has been here, like millions of times! If we get in trouble, she'll come save us." Scootaloo replied, dismissing Sweetie's rightfully placed fear with a wave of her hand. "Yeah!" Applebloom added. "We're gonna be...." She looked at the other fillies, as they passed by a small grave. They all screamed, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ANIMAL TAMERS!" They finished, smiling, and Sweetie's fear faded away. What could go wrong? Her question was soon answered when the unmarked grave thumped. Again. And again. They looked at each other in fear, before running. Unfortunately, it was behind them. Applebloom looked at Scootaloo. "Throw yer scooter at it!" "That's not gonna do anything!" "It might slow it down, we gotta give it a try!" Scootaloo jumped off of her scooter, and threw it right at the thing's head. The scooter exploded from the sheer heat coming from it's head. They gave off a scream, seeing it didn't slow it down at all. (I'd imagine this theme for when he started chasing them) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2CJD734z5E /With Pinkie Pie/ She screamed as well, and sped off as fast as she could to get the girls. Fortunately for her, they were all in Twilight's castle. She seemingly appeared out of nowhere, and started talking at normal speed, at least to her. "OkaysoIwaswalkingtoyourcastletohangoutwithyougirlsandmakeitatotallyawesomedaybecauseIhadbakedacakeandeverythingbutwhileIwaswalkingheretheforestexplodedandtherewassmokeandscreamingsoeomeonemightbe--" "Okay!" Twilight interrupted her, "Speak slower, okay?" Pinkie nodded her head. "Okay, so I was walking to your castle to hang out with you girls and make it a totally awesome day because I had baked a cake and everything, but while I was walking here, the forest exploded and there was smoke and screaming, so someone might be hurt!" "Well, what are we waiting for?!" Rainbow screamed. "Let's get going!" Author's Note Next Chapter: Mane 6 vs the Fire Demon Chapter 2-VengeanceAuthor's Note There's gonna be a little blood and Discord makes his appearance! Yay! Chapter 2-Vengeance The Main 6 rushed as fast as they could, which was pretty fast for about two of them, to the Everfree. Before they even got in there, the CMC ran out of the forest, looking dirty, and terrified. "What happened?" Rarity asked them. "We were going to be cutie mark crusaders animal tamers.." Sweetie started. "but then we screamed too loud.." Scootaloo added, "and we woke up this big scary thing in the forest!" Applebloom finished, all of them looking terrified. "Don't worry," Rainbow said with conviction. "I'll kick that thing back from where it came!" The others agreed. They all turned their heads at the sound of wings flapping. It rose out of the forest, and there it was. It was pony-like in structure, but that was about it. It's skull was exposed, and it was engulfed in flames as red as the sunset. The skull itself was terrifying, for it was charred from being in flames, not to mention the 2 foot long fangs coming from both sides of where it's teeth were supposed to be. It's body was bulky, and huge, about 9 feet tall. It was covered in black armor, that had silver claws at it's hands and silver plates coming off of it. It's wings were about 10 feet in wingspan, and they were completely black, save for the white bones that were exposed and visible. Fluttershy was afraid of dragons, so when seeing this thing she completely lost all color in her face. She shakily looked over to the CMC. She heard Twilight's voice. "F-fluttershy." She turned to Twilight, and she could tell she was freaked out too. "Get the girls away from here." Needless to say, she happily obliged. Rainbow wasn't scared, though. They had taken out Tirek for Celestia's sake! She flew up to it, and gave it a well deserved kick to the face. In turn, however, her foot was set aflame and it grabbed her skull. It then flew to the ground, and plowed through the ground using her face. Her blood was following that trail, but before it could hurt her too much, it was blasted away by Twilight's magic, stunning it. Twilight ran over to Rainbow, while Pinkie and Rarity distracted it. "Are you all right?" She asked, after helping up a bleeding Rainbow. After spitting out some blood, she looked over to her. "I'm fine, let's just take the thing out." They heard screaming, and saw it spitting a column of fire at Rarity. Rainbow quickly flew her out of the way, while Applejack got up close and punched it. She regretted it instantly when she was punted to the side like a weakling. Rainbow flew around the beast, where it shot a column of fire into the air, attempting to hit her. Once it got into position, Rarity and Twilight quickly shot the back of it's head with a force spell, sending it's head into the party cannon, where his head was promptly blown up. It came out of the party cannon, looked at them, then the fire died away, leaving smoke. It fell over, as if it were a statue. "Well," Rainbow said. "That was easy." She should have never said that. The fire revitalized, and it stood up with a roar. It spread it's wings, and sent out a magnificent roar of rage. It flew over to them, and prepared a punch. However, it hit an invisible barrier. It definitely wasn't Twilights, so they looked up and they saw Discord. Discord then moved his hands a little and the demon was sent flying. "Discord?! I should've known you were involved in this." Rainbow screamed out, agitated from Discord's appearance and the fact she had just gotten owned by whatever that thing was. Discord looked down at her, and instead of giving her a cheeky reply, he just glared at her, and said in his most serious voice, "Is this the time or place for this, Rainbow?" In return the cyan anthropomorphic pegasus simply looked down in shame. It came again, this time after Discord. He dodged, and kicked it in the face. "It's sad you don't remember me." He received a grunt in reply from the beast, and it simply flew towards him. He dodged again, but this time, it grabbed his leg and slammed him on the ground. Discord teleported above it. "I'll take you out in one blast." After settling some copyright claims from a company, he put his hands in a position not recognized by the ponies. The words he screamed weren't recognized either. "Ka.......me.....ha...me..." he then teleported right in front of it to avoid detonating anything, and fired it. "HA!" It simply stood through the blast. If it could smile, it would have. After the blast cleared, it was unharmed, to the shock of the ponies and Discord. It grabbed his head and started squeezing its skull, but then he heard the sound of an accordion playing. If it was in the mood, it would have laughed. It kept squishing. "How is this amusing?" Discord asked exasperatedly. "That's my skull hitting my brain!" It didn't care though, and kept squishing. Discord finally had enough, and balled his hand into a fist. It grew to an insane size, and then was delivered right into the beast's stomach. It's grip was released and it was sent flying. It got up, and flew back. Before it could even approach them, it was knocked away by yet another blast, but this time it was a brilliant golden light. Right next to where it appeared, a motherly voice called out to them. "Are you alright, my little ponies?" Chapter 3- Princesses and Discord v.s VengeanceSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 6-Vengeance v.s. The King of DreamsSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 7- KarmaVengeance woke up. He then reeled back as the King's fist rammed into his skull, and he noticed for the first time his skull was cracked across multiple places. He caught the King's fist. "I see now." Vengeance growled out quietly. The King glared at him as he tried to pull his hand away. "What are you babbling about?!" The King shouted while trying to free his hand with no success. "It's your fault." Vengeance punched him in the face, and the King would have been sent flying if Vengeance wasn't holding him. "This is what Pinkie Pie felt!" Vengeance punched him as hard as he could in the throat, silencing all screams of pain with a gag. "This is what Rarity felt!" Vengeance turned the King around and kneed him in the middle of his spine, but due to his flattened windpipe, he was unable to scream. "This is what Rainbow felt!" Vengeance turned him back around screaming this, and set his stomach, arms, and legs aflame. He looked him right in the eyes. "This is what Applejack felt." The King knew what was coming next, but could do nothing as Vengeance blasted a column of flame into his eyes, causing them to sizzle and bubble, allowing blood to leak down his face. "This is what Twilight felt." He then blasted his entire head, and dropped him, leaving him to die on the ground. The fire demon crouched down next to him. "You feel this? This helplessness? This fear? This is what Fluttershy felt. This is what the townspeople felt, and what you took advantage of 1000 years ago. I have no idea how you survived, but," Vengeance stepped on his wing. "You will never kill anyone ever again. I'll make sure of it." Vengeance then looked at him, pure hatred shining in his eye sockets. For the first time, the King knew true fear. "And this.." He said in a deadly whisper, as the fire around his skull looked like it wanted to burst. "This is how I felt." Suddenly the King's entire body was aflame. He screamed in agony and fear, but the fire kept coming. The unstoppable torrent of fire was not going to be satisfied until not even ashes were left. Fluttershy had watched the whole ordeal with shock and horror etched across her face. Despite the fact that he did deserve this, it was a little extreme to put that much stress on someone's body, even if they were an alicorn. "Stop!" She yelled to the demon. "You shouldn't be doing that! It isn't right!" Vengeance stared at her, and dropped the King. "Do you have any idea what he did to me? How many lives he's taken?!" The demon roared in her face. "I know, but right now you're just as bad, if not worse than him!" "Trust me, I'd have to commit genocide if I wanted to be even as close to as bad as he is." The demon looked at her. The other members of the main 6 pitched in, voicing their opinions. Finally, he looked down, and his fire died down to little more than a tiny flame. Author's Note There we go, the King got exactly what he deserved. Maybe Vengeance went a little too far... : The reason Vengeance knew about what he did to the Mane 6, he can sense and absorb sins to get stronger remember? Yeah. Tell me if what he did to the King was satisfying or not in the comments. And why, if it's not too much of a hassle. Again: Legendary or Ultimate? Final Chapter- Justice"Please.." The Main 6 were practically begging Vengeance at this point. "Spare him." They all said in unison, and they swore they could see his skull twitching a little. With a final sigh, Vengeance brought his hand down. Suddenly, a white light filled the area. "What's goin' on?" Applejack yelled, in her noticeable southern accent. They all closed their eyes, and then checked on Vengeance to see if he was alright. "Uh, guys?" Rainbow began. "Where did the demon go?" What they looked upon wasn't a demon anymore, but an angel. They saw Flare, who had angel wings the same size as Vengeance's. Something about him was..beautiful. He even gave off a brilliant white light with simply his presence. "I'm right here. I learned my lesson. What this world needs isn't Vengeance, it's Justice. That wasn't who I was, this is. Justice." "How creative." Rainbow said, rolling her eyes. She then wanted to shrink out of existence when all 7 of them glared at her. Justice really wanted to say something about how she was named Rainbow and her hair was rainbow, and the fact that she gave off a rainbow trail when she flew, but didn't. "What's important is," Justice began in a strained voice, trying to keep his patience. "That I heal the King's injuries and take him to--" Justice looked to where the King was, but all that remained was a blood stain and a scorched ground. "Shit.." he cursed, and Fluttershy almost told him to watch his language, but she kept her mouth shut. Discord then appeared in front of them. "I took care of the nightmares. It took a while, but it became easier just a second ago..." He looked around. "Where's Vengeance?" Discord asked. "His name isn't Vengeance anymore.." Fluttershy began, but Twilight finished without her consent. "Apparently, letting go of all his hate turned him from a demon to an angel!" She said, excited. Then, Justice began to rise. "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked. "Heaven." He answered, as the clouds covering the sun opened and some beautiful rays of the sun shone down upon Equestria. "But you CAN'T go!" Pinkie ran up to him, pleading. "I still haven't made my Welcome-Justice-to-Ponyville party!" He just smiled benevolently at her. Meanwhile, Fluttershy began to cry. "Don't leave.." she whispered, and she felt a warm hand on her face, wiping away the tears. "I'll always be here for you, Fluttershy." He said, and she blushed a bit. He then turned his head towards his semi-father, Discord. "I'll come back." He promised. "Maybe we can do something about that Molly problem you're having, father." He teased, causing Discord to look down as a blush covered his features. "Molly? Who's that?" Fluttershy asked, but was quickly shushed by Justice. "Maybe I'll tell you when you're older." "I'm an adult..." she mumbled, but he continued to rise and disappear. She began to cry again, feeling alone. That was when her friends comforted her, and she realized she was never alone. Author's Note This is technically the final chapter, but I will add a bonus chapter, and you don't have to read it if you don't want. Legendary or Ultimate? Bonus Chapter-Pinkie's Party and the Question that was never askedPinkie Pie smiled and hopped around the city. Ponies wondered why her skirt was staying down while she was falling. Others wondered why her feet were the things that were bouncing. Flare, though, wondered how her hair was so bouncy. He was told not to go down unless it was an emergency, so he did the natural thing. He flew down to ask her a trivial question he'd likely get no answer for. Pinkie then stopped bouncing as she looked up. The clouds were parting and a bright light let a familiar figure down. Flare smiled down at Pinkie, but the smile quickly faded when she gasped, way too long or loud for any mortal should achieve without exhaling, and ran off, leaving a cloud clone of her, which quickly disappeared. "Seriously?" He asked, then he quickly spread his wings and took off. Everyone was gone so fast. How did they even do that? They were practically everywhere a second ago. As he flew over the town, he couldn't help but notice Applejack's barn seemed to be...dancing. He immediately knew they were in there, and he touched down. All movement, inside and out of the barn, ceased immediately. "I know you're in there." He said, and he opened the door. What he got surprised him. The lights turned on, and everyone was there. There was a banner that said "Welcome/Welcome back Justice" but that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was his semi-father, Discord, sitting on top of a wrecking ball with a small white tank top and small white booty shorts on. "Oh dear God." He whispered, and refused to look at Discord. He then peeked back up, and Discord was normal now. There was no wrecking ball or anything. "I take it you were surprised?" Discord asked hopefully. "Yes. Very surprised." He said, holding in some throw-up. He then looked around. "A party? I'm not staying." This sentence caused Pinkie to go gray and her hair deflate like a balloon, becoming straight. "BUT," he began, and Pinkie looked up. "I will stay for a while." Her hair poofed back up to normal, and they all enjoyed Pinkie's party all night long. Author's Note This was intended to be like a normal day, but a single question was ignored. I made it short because it really doesn't matter. Last time, though. Ultimate or Legendary? Chapter 4-Return to MortalityVengeance looked down on the defeated princesses, and it seemed his father had escaped. He spread his wings, about to take off, but he stopped when he heard Celestia's weak voice. "Why?" He turned his head down to her, and asked back. "Why what?" "Why attack the ponies? Why attack your own father, Discord?" "It's THEIR FAULTS I EXIST!" Vengeance yelled down at her, as his temper and fire on his skull exploded. "Look at me! Do I look like I belong here?! I belong in Hell!" His temper only grew when he saw Celestia looking at him with pity. "How sad." That was all she said. He growled, and flew off. He didn't need her pity. He didn't need anyone's pity. /Undisclosed Location/ An alicorn, shrouded in shadows, was bored with his life. Answering his subject's requests and eating is usually what he did. Then, a pegasus stallion ran into the room, looking panicked. "Sire!" He shrieked, tired and ragged. "A demon has appeared in Equestria! He defeated the princesses!" "How do you even know this?" The King asked. "I was flying over them patrolling." The King rolled his eyes. "Guess I'll just go test his power." The King said, standing up and stretching his legs. "But," the pegasus protested. "You'll be killed!" "Are you doubting my power?" The King didn't let him answer as his horn glowed and the pegasus exploded, guts and blood painting the walls. He then spread his wings and took off, heading to where he last remembered ponyville was 1000 years ago. /Back with Vengeance, in the skies of Ponyville/ Veangeance's flying became erratic and raggedy, as he almost crashed into Twilight's castle. Not that he knew at the time. He turned around, realizing he'd be caught and is in no shape to fight anyone, much less an entire town. He finally lowered himself against his will, and changed back into his mortal form, Flare, and crashed on the yard of a small cottage. Right before he lost consciousness, he could make out a small, barely audible voice near him, exclaiming something. Author's Note This chapter was kinda short, and not very important (up until the end), but guess who Flare will be staying with! Chapter 5- The demon learns about compassionAuthor's Note (Play after Rainbow kicks Flare) Chapter 5- The demon learns about compassion Fluttershy hummed as she watered her plants, having evacuated the CMC from the area where the Princesses and Discord fought the demon. Princess Celestia had returned with an injured Luna in her arms, and she told her that everything was alright. The demon had escaped, but Ponyville was safe and that was all that mattered to her, anyway. Suddenly, she heard a crash and dust was kicked up in her face, but her hair protected her. She looked down to see a stallion, fairly muscled and seemingly uninjured, but he was naked and obviously unconscious. So she did the first thing that popped into her mind. She took the naked stranger inside her house. She sighed at him as he lay unconscious on her sofa, questions popping into her mind. How did this happen to him? Is he foreign? Did the demon get to him? If so, why isn't he injured? Could it be internal bleeding? She sighed, all of those questions unanswered as she wet a towel and placed it on his head. She decided if he didn't wake up, she'd take him to the hospital. That was crossed off the list as his eyes shot open, still bloodshot, and he sat up quickly. He then looked at her, with panicked eyes. "Where am I?" He screamed, and she was about to give a reply, but he threw her out of his way and rushed to the door. "Wait." She said, but she was too quiet. He turned to leave, but she said it louder this time. "Wait!" He stopped this time. "I'm going to go get you clothes. Wait here." After going to the store, finding Rainbow Dash, and enduring Rainbow's teasing about her dating a guy, they finally arrived at her cottage. Fluttershy opened the door and walked in, surprised to find it just as she had left it, and it seemed the guy hadn't moved a muscle since she left. He looked up at them. "Hi." Rainbow greeted. "I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria." He didn't respond, instead, he shamelessly got up and put on the clothes, ignoring Rainbow's presence entirely. "Hey! I'm talking to you bonehead!" He continued to ignore her, thanking Fluttershy for the clothes and getting ready to sit down. That's when she kicked him in the leg, getting his attention. "Oh! I don't think you should do that Dashie.." Fluttershy protested quietly, but she was ignored. Flare turned around and unblinkingly backhanded her, at the same time an explosion was seen from Ponyville.
ProloguePrologue 1000 years ago (By the way, ponies are about level 3.5-4 on the scale) Ponies were freaking out. The world was in total chaos. Buildings were floating, milk was exploding, cups were drinkable, rain was chocolate and ponies were acting like animals. One stallion, with no important name, however, seemed OK with this. A little too okay. "Calm down everyone!" He called out. "No one's hurt, are they?" Too bad no one paid attention to him. They continued to run around. "I SAID CALM DOWN!" He screamed. This time they paid attention. "Is anyone hurt?" The ponies checked themselves for injuries, rather comically. "See?" he replied, after they settled down. "The chaos isn't all bad." This seemed to be the switch for the ponies, who adamantly disagreed with him. "What are you talking about?!" A mare screamed. "That's minotaur crap!" A stallion yelled. "What about my baby?!

Chapter 2-Vengeance The Main 6 rushed as fast as they could, which was pretty fast for about two of them, to the Everfree.

In return the cyan anthropomorphic pegasus simply looked down in shame. It came again, this time after Discord. He dodged, and kicked it in the face. "It's sad you don't remember me." He received a grunt in reply from the beast, and it simply flew towards him. He dodged again, but this time, it grabbed his leg and slammed him on the ground. Discord teleported above it. "I'll take you out in one blast." After settling some copyright claims from a company, he put his hands in a position not recognized by the ponies. The words he screamed weren't recognized either. "Ka.......me.....ha...me..." he then teleported right in front of it to avoid detonating anything, and fired it. "HA!" It simply stood through the blast. If it could smile, it would have. After the blast cleared, it was unharmed, to the shock of the ponies and Discord. It grabbed his head and started squeezing its skull, but then he heard the sound of an accordion playing. If it was in the mood, it would have laughed. It kept squishing. "How is this amusing?" Discord asked exasperatedly. "That's my skull hitting my brain!" It didn't care though, and kept squishing. Discord finally had enough, and balled his hand into a fist. It grew to an insane size, and then was delivered right into the beast's stomach. It's grip was released and it was sent flying. It got up, and flew back. Before it could even approach them, it was knocked away by yet another blast, but this time it was a brilliant golden light. Right next to where it appeared, a motherly voice called out to them. "Are you alright, my little ponies?"
Chapter 3- Princesses and Discord v.s VengeanceSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 6-Vengeance v.s. The King of DreamsSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 7- KarmaVengeance woke up. He then reeled back as the King's fist rammed into his skull, and he noticed for the first time his skull was cracked across multiple places. He caught the King's fist. "I see now." Vengeance growled out quietly. The King glared at him as he tried to pull his hand away. "What are you babbling about?!" The King shouted while trying to free his hand with no success. "It's your fault." Vengeance punched him in the face, and the King would have been sent flying if Vengeance wasn't holding him. "This is what Pinkie Pie felt!" Vengeance punched him as hard as he could in the throat, silencing all screams of pain with a gag. "This is what Rarity felt!" Vengeance turned the King around and kneed him in the middle of his spine, but due to his flattened windpipe, he was unable to scream. "This is what Rainbow felt!" Vengeance turned him back around screaming this, and set his stomach, arms, and legs aflame. He looked him right in the eyes. "This is what Applejack felt." The King knew what was coming next, but could do nothing as Vengeance blasted a column of flame into his eyes, causing them to sizzle and bubble, allowing blood to leak down his face. "This is what Twilight felt." He then blasted his entire head, and dropped him, leaving him to die on the ground. The fire demon crouched down next to him. "You feel this? This helplessness? This fear? This is what Fluttershy felt. This is what the townspeople felt, and what you took advantage of 1000 years ago. I have no idea how you survived, but," Vengeance stepped on his wing. "You will never kill anyone ever again. I'll make sure of it." Vengeance then looked at him, pure hatred shining in his eye sockets. For the first time, the King knew true fear. "And this.." He said in a deadly whisper, as the fire around his skull looked like it wanted to burst. "This is how I felt." Suddenly the King's entire body was aflame. He screamed in agony and fear, but the fire kept coming. The unstoppable torrent of fire was not going to be satisfied until not even ashes were left. Fluttershy had watched the whole ordeal with shock and horror etched across her face. Despite the fact that he did deserve this, it was a little extreme to put that much stress on someone's body, even if they were an alicorn. "Stop!" She yelled to the demon. "You shouldn't be doing that! It isn't right!" Vengeance stared at her, and dropped the King. "Do you have any idea what he did to me? How many lives he's taken?!" The demon roared in her face. "I know, but right now you're just as bad, if not worse than him!" "Trust me, I'd have to commit genocide if I wanted to be even as close to as bad as he is." The demon looked at her. The other members of the main 6 pitched in, voicing their opinions. Finally, he looked down, and his fire died down to little more than a tiny flame. Author's Note There we go, the King got exactly what he deserved. Maybe Vengeance went a little too far... : The reason Vengeance knew about what he did to the Mane 6, he can sense and absorb sins to get stronger remember? Yeah. Tell me if what he did to the King was satisfying or not in the comments. And why, if it's not too much of a hassle. Again: Legendary or Ultimate?
Final Chapter- Justice"Please.." The Main 6 were practically begging Vengeance at this point. "Spare him." They all said in unison, and they swore they could see his skull twitching a little. With a final sigh, Vengeance brought his hand down. Suddenly, a white light filled the area. "What's goin' on?" Applejack yelled, in her noticeable southern accent. They all closed their eyes, and then checked on Vengeance to see if he was alright. "Uh, guys?" Rainbow began. "Where did the demon go?" What they looked upon wasn't a demon anymore, but an angel. They saw Flare, who had angel wings the same size as Vengeance's. Something about him was..beautiful. He even gave off a brilliant white light with simply his presence. "I'm right here. I learned my lesson. What this world needs isn't Vengeance, it's Justice. That wasn't who I was, this is. Justice." "How creative." Rainbow said, rolling her eyes. She then wanted to shrink out of existence when all 7 of them glared at her. Justice really wanted to say something about how she was named Rainbow and her hair was rainbow, and the fact that she gave off a rainbow trail when she flew, but didn't. "What's important is," Justice began in a strained voice, trying to keep his patience. "That I heal the King's injuries and take him to--" Justice looked to where the King was, but all that remained was a blood stain and a scorched ground. "Shit.." he cursed, and Fluttershy almost told him to watch his language, but she kept her mouth shut. Discord then appeared in front of them. "I took care of the nightmares. It took a while, but it became easier just a second ago..." He looked around. "Where's Vengeance?" Discord asked. "His name isn't Vengeance anymore.." Fluttershy began, but Twilight finished without her consent. "Apparently, letting go of all his hate turned him from a demon to an angel!" She said, excited. Then, Justice began to rise. "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked. "Heaven." He answered, as the clouds covering the sun opened and some beautiful rays of the sun shone down upon Equestria. "But you CAN'T go!" Pinkie ran up to him, pleading. "I still haven't made my Welcome-Justice-to-Ponyville party!" He just smiled benevolently at her. Meanwhile, Fluttershy began to cry. "Don't leave.." she whispered, and she felt a warm hand on her face, wiping away the tears. "I'll always be here for you, Fluttershy." He said, and she blushed a bit. He then turned his head towards his semi-father, Discord. "I'll come back." He promised. "Maybe we can do something about that Molly problem you're having, father." He teased, causing Discord to look down as a blush covered his features. "Molly? Who's that?" Fluttershy asked, but was quickly shushed by Justice. "Maybe I'll tell you when you're older." "I'm an adult..." she mumbled, but he continued to rise and disappear. She began to cry again, feeling alone. That was when her friends comforted her, and she realized she was never alone. Author's Note This is technically the final chapter, but I will add a bonus chapter, and you don't have to read it if you don't want. Legendary or Ultimate?
Bonus Chapter-Pinkie's Party and the Question that was never askedPinkie Pie smiled and hopped around the city. Ponies wondered why her skirt was staying down while she was falling. Others wondered why her feet were the things that were bouncing. Flare, though, wondered how her hair was so bouncy. He was told not to go down unless it was an emergency, so he did the natural thing. He flew down to ask her a trivial question he'd likely get no answer for. Pinkie then stopped bouncing as she looked up. The clouds were parting and a bright light let a familiar figure down. Flare smiled down at Pinkie, but the smile quickly faded when she gasped, way too long or loud for any mortal should achieve without exhaling, and ran off, leaving a cloud clone of her, which quickly disappeared. "Seriously?" He asked, then he quickly spread his wings and took off. Everyone was gone so fast. How did they even do that? They were practically everywhere a second ago. As he flew over the town, he couldn't help but notice Applejack's barn seemed to be...dancing. He immediately knew they were in there, and he touched down. All movement, inside and out of the barn, ceased immediately. "I know you're in there." He said, and he opened the door. What he got surprised him. The lights turned on, and everyone was there. There was a banner that said "Welcome/Welcome back Justice" but that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was his semi-father, Discord, sitting on top of a wrecking ball with a small white tank top and small white booty shorts on. "Oh dear God." He whispered, and refused to look at Discord. He then peeked back up, and Discord was normal now. There was no wrecking ball or anything. "I take it you were surprised?" Discord asked hopefully. "Yes. Very surprised." He said, holding in some throw-up. He then looked around. "A party? I'm not staying." This sentence caused Pinkie to go gray and her hair deflate like a balloon, becoming straight. "BUT," he began, and Pinkie looked up. "I will stay for a while." Her hair poofed back up to normal, and they all enjoyed Pinkie's party all night long. Author's Note This was intended to be like a normal day, but a single question was ignored. I made it short because it really doesn't matter. Last time, though. Ultimate or Legendary?
Chapter 4-Return to MortalityVengeance looked down on the defeated princesses, and it seemed his father had escaped. He spread his wings, about to take off, but he stopped when he heard Celestia's weak voice. "Why?" He turned his head down to her, and asked back. "Why what?" "Why attack the ponies? Why attack your own father, Discord?" "It's THEIR FAULTS I EXIST!" Vengeance yelled down at her, as his temper and fire on his skull exploded. "Look at me! Do I look like I belong here?! I belong in Hell!" His temper only grew when he saw Celestia looking at him with pity. "How sad." That was all she said. He growled, and flew off. He didn't need her pity. He didn't need anyone's pity. /Undisclosed Location/ An alicorn, shrouded in shadows, was bored with his life. Answering his subject's requests and eating is usually what he did. Then, a pegasus stallion ran into the room, looking panicked. "Sire!" He shrieked, tired and ragged. "A demon has appeared in Equestria! He defeated the princesses!" "How do you even know this?" The King asked. "I was flying over them patrolling." The King rolled his eyes. "Guess I'll just go test his power." The King said, standing up and stretching his legs. "But," the pegasus protested. "You'll be killed!" "Are you doubting my power?" The King didn't let him answer as his horn glowed and the pegasus exploded, guts and blood painting the walls. He then spread his wings and took off, heading to where he last remembered ponyville was 1000 years ago. /Back with Vengeance, in the skies of Ponyville/ Veangeance's flying became erratic and raggedy, as he almost crashed into Twilight's castle. Not that he knew at the time. He turned around, realizing he'd be caught and is in no shape to fight anyone, much less an entire town. He finally lowered himself against his will, and changed back into his mortal form, Flare, and crashed on the yard of a small cottage. Right before he lost consciousness, he could make out a small, barely audible voice near him, exclaiming something. Author's Note This chapter was kinda short, and not very important (up until the end), but guess who Flare will be staying with!
Chapter 5- The demon learns about compassionAuthor's Note (Play after Rainbow kicks Flare) Chapter 5- The demon learns about compassion Fluttershy hummed as she watered her plants, having evacuated the CMC from the area where the Princesses and Discord fought the demon. Princess Celestia had returned with an injured Luna in her arms, and she told her that everything was alright. The demon had escaped, but Ponyville was safe and that was all that mattered to her, anyway. Suddenly, she heard a crash and dust was kicked up in her face, but her hair protected her. She looked down to see a stallion, fairly muscled and seemingly uninjured, but he was naked and obviously unconscious. So she did the first thing that popped into her mind. She took the naked stranger inside her house. She sighed at him as he lay unconscious on her sofa, questions popping into her mind. How did this happen to him? Is he foreign? Did the demon get to him? If so, why isn't he injured? Could it be internal bleeding? She sighed, all of those questions unanswered as she wet a towel and placed it on his head. She decided if he didn't wake up, she'd take him to the hospital. That was crossed off the list as his eyes shot open, still bloodshot, and he sat up quickly. He then looked at her, with panicked eyes. "Where am I?" He screamed, and she was about to give a reply, but he threw her out of his way and rushed to the door. "Wait." She said, but she was too quiet. He turned to leave, but she said it louder this time. "Wait!" He stopped this time. "I'm going to go get you clothes. Wait here." After going to the store, finding Rainbow Dash, and enduring Rainbow's teasing about her dating a guy, they finally arrived at her cottage. Fluttershy opened the door and walked in, surprised to find it just as she had left it, and it seemed the guy hadn't moved a muscle since she left. He looked up at them. "Hi." Rainbow greeted. "I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in Equestria." He didn't respond, instead, he shamelessly got up and put on the clothes, ignoring Rainbow's presence entirely. "Hey! I'm talking to you bonehead!" He continued to ignore her, thanking Fluttershy for the clothes and getting ready to sit down. That's when she kicked him in the leg, getting his attention. "Oh! I don't think you should do that Dashie.." Fluttershy protested quietly, but she was ignored. Flare turned around and unblinkingly backhanded her, at the same time an explosion was seen from Ponyville.
