Evolution

"Are you sure this is such a good idea Tia?" asked the concerned Luna. The news of the mysterious stallion had traveled across Equestria even reaching the royal Princess's ears but they already knew about it, they saw it with their own  eyes. After that Celestia had been silent for two days, not even speaking a word to anyone not even Luna. However on the third day she announced that there would be a dinner party held in honor of the so-called "hero" of Ponyville. Naturally everyone accepted this and made arrangements, everyone except Luna. she remembered something that happened on that day. When they had returned to the castle, Celestia went straight to her bedroom quietly talking to herself. Now they were hosting a party for an earth pony no one knows. "Relax Luna I have everything under control." Said Celestia.

As they waited for the Guest of honor Celestia reminisced about the last day of the other stallions' life and something he said to Celestia on the day of his departure before "it" happened. "Remember forever the day i arrived and fear the King who resembles me for he will bring the demon back." The stallion who saved Ponyville might be this king he warned them about. But they were unsure so they would wait and see if he really is the king. All of a sudden the doors opened and flew in the same mysterious fear they felt when they tried stopping the train and the monsters horrid voice echoed again in their heads "I'm back."

//////////////

They trotted right in the ballroom receiving welcoming glances from the guests (except for Tavo) with no music playing what so ever. "we'll head to the back and prepare for the performance." said Octavia as she and Vinyl walked towards anouther room. They said goodbye to their friends and kept trotting through the ballroom.

Twilight and her friends were so excited to be here, they couldn't believe how beautiful the ballroom looked. "this looks even better than the Grand Galloping Gala!" Said Twilight astonished "and the décor is just as marvelous. " said Rarity as she waved to some of the guests who waved back. Twilight appreciated that Tavo brought them here but she was curious as to why they were the only ones he asked, she went over to Applejack who was the only one that knew him more than anyone else,considering he works with her."Applejack, didn't Tavo ask anyone else to join him, like his family or friends?" Twilight asked. Applejack suddenly frowned "well i asked him about his friends and he said it's personal,  then i asked him about his family all he said was dead." Said Applejack, Twilight was pensive about what had befallen on him. He was an orphan and didn't tell anyone about it and it might be the reason he doesn't smile. Twilight decided that they would help him smile and this party might just help. She was going to tell him about the plan during the dinner. As she looked behind her where He was she became distracted by what he was doing.

Tavo started feeling a strange presence as he continued walking with the group. Its was the same type of presence he felt years ago with a certain individual. he lifted his head and searched the room for any sign of it but found nothing. yet the being's presence still loomed over him.

An orb of light suddenly appeared before them and as the orb scattered its light two regal appeared where the orb vanished.   Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. All the ponies in the room bowed to them, except for Tavo who didn't understand why they were bowing. They trotted majestically  over to Twilight and her friends and they arose "Twilight my faithful student I'm so glad you and your friends could make it. And I see you brought the guest of honor as well." Said Celestia, Twilight looked over to Tavo who began walking over to the Princess. The two of them were the same height; the only difference was Celestia's horn that made her look taller. " so you're the Princess who's in charge of this whole land?" asked Tavo. Celestia was taken aback by his blacked eyes that she didn't come up with a good enough answer so she said "yes." He looked over to Luna who smiled nervously at him "well I'm Tavo and thank you but you really shouldn't have done this."

"But I insist, after all you did save an entire town." said Celestia. Then all the bowing ponies looked up at him with skepticism and whispered to each other. It angered him a little that they don't believe that somepony like him could save a town, but he ignored it. Celestia studied Tavo's reactions and his many features. All his scars were different in size and shape, some looked burned some looked like lacerations some were a little oddly shaped like holes. His cutie mark was also different; it looked completely violent in its form. His eyes were just black and white no other color. Yet the most distinguishing feature was the large stitched smiling scar on his face. But aside from all this, the grayish-blue coat and black mane and tail made him looked almost like the stallion she knew years ago.

"Oh look it's already time for the feast." said Luna interrupting Celestia's thoughts. All the ponies eyes lit up and they began walking to the newly built grand dining hall. "Why don't you join us Tavo, after all you are the guest of honor." She said beckoning him to follow then she left. He began walking slowly towards the grand dining room until he realized that the Princess had a look of Suspicion in her eyes. She seemed nice enough but he still kept his guard up for safety. Yet he kept having this strange feeling that bothered him. Tavo has never met her before yet she seemed so familiar like he knew her. It confused him as he trotted down the hallways. As he reached the door to the room his mouth suddenly twitched. He halted for a moment trying to figure out what happened, but then it twitched again erratically and as he tried to stop it from forming a smile he suddenly felt the left side of his stitches unwound. He felt it and was relieved that it was only one unnoticeable stitch. He cleaned the small blood droplet off, breathed deep, and walked right in.

The dining hall was enormous: it could actually fit an entire stage and the rectangular shaped table was long enough to seat every single guest, not to mention fit the entire banquet. It amazed Tavo, he's never seen so much food except since he first arrived. The food looked so delicious even if he didn't quite get used to the taste of some of it? He found a space at the table and sat on the floor because the chairs would break under him, grabbed a plate and enjoyed the feast.

Twilight and her friends sat next to the princesses who sat in their thrones at the very end of the table. Octavia, and Vinyl performed during the banquet making it a dinner and show. The harmonic melody mixed perfectly with the fast paced beats. As they were enjoying the performance and dinner, Luna observed Tavo from her seat. She couldn't see much from her distance but she did notice something strange about him. His left eye was bloodshot yellow while his other was normal. No one else noticed because they were distracted by the music. He didn't really watch the performance; he just sat and ate a slowly. As she watched him intently his left eye started darting back and forth as if searching for something, suddenly it met her eyes.

It suddenly changed its form and she started sweating and panting and she felt burning from the inside, she looked away but still felt burned. She was distressed but tried to keep her sister unaware of it, but she didn't know what to do. Suddenly the voice in her head yelled at her "Move away from his sight!" she knew the voice but never trusted it, but the burning got worse so she obliged. She quickly jumped out of her seat and ran towards an opened door. As soon as she closed it the burning vanished. Luna was relieved that she no longer burned and sighed. I hate to say it and I never thought that I would but thank you…Nightmare moon. she thought to herself. "Your welcome."

Tavo jabbed his left eye twice times, I hate it when it does that. he thought to himself. His left eye would always go off by itself searching for that type of being. This time it stayed focused on Luna and tried to burn her.  The princess must have had some kind of connection with those types. She was smart enough to move away from his sight giving him control over it again. Suddenly it hit him, "those princesses must be.....gods." he said to him self silenlty  He needed to get out but he couldn't just leave the girls here, but he also knew that they were friends with the princesses so he sighed it off. even though stealth wasn't his strong suit, he slowly stood up and tiptoed towards the doors. As the music came to a close, Octavia and Vinyl took a bow, the crowd cheered just as Vinyl said. This gave him the perfect opportunity to leave. Princess celestia stood up from her royal seat and cleared her throat. "Thank you all for attending the social we arranged tonight and I do hope you all enjoyed the wonderful performance and dinner. But…." She stood silence staring out catching sight of Tavo. Scowling she raised her hoof at Tavo "Guards, arrest the giant stallion." She ordered. Without question four guards: two unicorns, two pegasi, raced across the room, using magic to pin him against the wall and the pegasi held both his hooves against the wall. Everypony in the room gasped and stared at their princess who began walking over to him. Tavo didn't struggle, he wanted to know what this was about.

"I'm sorry you had to see this but it was the only way I could bring "him" here." Said Celestia, "what's this all about?" asked Tavo, she stood menacingly over him "I know what you really are?" she said, she turned from her captive and announced     "This stallion is not who he seems. In truth he harbors something that should have died years ago." The six exchanged glances then Twilight stood from her seat "But Princess, how do you know if he is what you call him?" she asked feeling concern for her friend "Because Twilight, I have firsthand experience with the beast. And I know everything about it even how to call this monster out and end it." Said celestia Tavo suddenly realized the danger of the situation "Whatever you think you're doing it's a bad idea!" he said. Celestia ignored him and continued "This one here is a king where he came from but in realty he is a creature that once attempted to murder and mutilate every single living thing In Equestria! I know the way to stop him." said Celestia. Tavo eyes widened and his heart raced, She's going to call "him"! he thought, he then easily broke free from the first four guards and began running but Celestia ordered eight more guards: four Unicorns, four Pegasi, and held him in place. "Don't do it Celestia it's not worth putting them at risk!" he yelled, she didn't listen.

Twilight and her friends stared in horror, they knew what will happen. Then Twilight Followed by the rest of her friends ran towards her but were blocked by two guards "Please Celestia he saved an entire town and the ponies in it he can't possibly be that thing?" Said Twilight as her friends ran behind her "You may think he's a hero but I know that he truly is a beast and I know how to awaken it." said Celestia, she then cleared her throat. Tavo struggled to get free but it was too late "Arise Beastking!" She said.

Suddenly Tavo lost his sight, lost his ability to think and finally lost his ability to control himself as everything around him went dark. why did she do this? was his last thought.

Tavo stopped struggling and went limp. Celestia built up magical energy then pointed her horn right at his head "Guards release him." ordered celestia , when they released him he stood with his head lowered, his hair covering his eyes. Celestia was just about to release her magic when suddenly he lifted his head slowly and revealed closed eyes and.......a smile.then with out warning  he opened his mouth and let out an unearthly roar and began sprinting towards her. As he closed in she shot out a solar beam at Tavo point blank before he made impact, sending him flying towards the wall crashing through it, leaving small rings of fire.

silence filled the hall. The six gazed in horror-stricken silence as they witnessed their friend burned to death. Twilights hope to make him smile was burned along with him. Tears rolled down Fluttershy's face as she watched the stallion who saved her and everyone else die, and she wasn't the only one. Luna was watching from the door of the other room and couldn't believe what her sister had done. Everypony had jumped out of their seats and gawked at the scene. Celestia felt low spirited having to kill her favorite students friend in front of them and everypony else and it was most likely they would never forgive her, but what's done is done. But before she could walk, she heard "it" again.

As the world falls apart, the beast shall rise again.........

They were shaken at the sudden voice rising from the hole where their dead friend lies. It continued:

He'll send your souls to hell.

He'll send your heads to the sky's..............

It sounded like a song, and a disturbing one at that. It sounded like Tavo's voice:

The devils smile is the last you see, our beast god will not sleep............

As he finished the verse a large hoof popped out and stomped the ground so hard shook the room:

Till there is no life left.............

As he finished the verse he walked out of the hole. His head was lowered and his mane covered his eyes but not his devilish grin:

and The Beastking shall lead us back to hell.

For the true terror lives in our sins..........

As he sang and trotted, the stitches of his scar slowly unwound revealing large metallic razor sharp teeth behind his normal teeth, stretching all the way behind his ears:

.........let it all fade away.........

He then stopped, the room was in a dead silence as they stared in horror at the dead stallion who came out of the hole looking completely normal,aside from the smile.With out warning, in less then a fraction of a second he "Moved" from his place and stopped Infront of Celestia. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his breath. But she was more focused on the completely black eyes that focused on hers. Her fear was about to be realized:

.....Or have it burn us for an eternity.......

As he finished, he let out another ear piercing demonic roar so powerful it pushed her back. In a second he rammed her with his head sending her flying across the room and knocked her into her throne knocking it over and crashed into the wall behind it. she staggered up and squinted her eyes at her attacker and the possible annihilation of Equestria. She was disheartened that the solar beam failed and he still stood. Her muscles tensed, her heart raced, she knew what must be done.

Note: can someone throw in like one review atleast? i'm glad that this story got a better start then the first though.
