Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
It was a beautiful day. The birds were out singing their little songs to their little hearts content. People walked through the market not a care in the world as they went about their business. But at the residence of one Jon and his wife Red it was a different story. A crying baby woke Jon up slowly from his sleep as he glared at the light coming through the window. "It's your turn..." Red muttered rolling over.
"Fuck..." Jon muttered as he pushed himself up moving towards the door only for it to be thrown open by a crazed Twilight. She opened her mouth about to speak only for Jon to grip her cheeks rather hard. "Twilight... Did you wake up my son?" He asked as Twilight looked down the hall and then back at Jon looking apologetic. "I hate you so much right now it actually hurts..." Jon muttered as he shoved her out of his way making his way to his son's room. A few minutes later and Bright Heart was back to sleep in his crib. Jon was careful making sure to be quiet at he walked out of the room back into the hallway. "Twilight what is so important that you needed to break into my house and wake all of us up?" Jon asked as Twilight took a breath about to speak only for Jon to cover her mouth. "In the kitchen." He said tightening his grip on her face as he began to pull Twilight to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.
"So let me get this straight... So bitch stole your crown. Went through a magic portal to a different dimension... and you want my help to get it back." I asked as I took a sip of my coffee as Twilight nodded nursing her own cup. "So what kind of world is it anyway that you would ask for my help?" I asked leaning back in my seat.
"We think it might be your world. from what you have explained about your world it seems to be a perfect match." Twilight jumped as my mug shattered on the kitchen floor. I shook my head looking down at my broken mug using my magic to reconstruct it.
"How can you be sure?" I asked as Twilight looked uncomfortable under my gaze. "If it is my world you realize the dangers it would hold right?" I asked as she nodded her head. "So that's why you are asking for my help..." I poured myself a new cup before downing it's contents slamming the cup on the table. "Give me twenty minutes." I said as I stood up going towards the bedroom.
"Hey Red I got a job might be a few days before I get back." I said as I slid out my blade case opening it to see Umbra and Solaris resting comfortably.
"Be safe." Red muttered looking at me tiredly. I smiled as I leaned over giving her a peck on the lips.
"See you in a few days. I love you." She smiled back to me before drifting back off to sleep. My smile vanished as I closed the case locking it with a key. I went downstairs to see Twilight fidgeting about. I put my boots on tying them tight. "Come on Twilight. Let's go deal with this shit." I muttered sliding my bracelet over my right arm.
After a quick teleport to The Crystal Empire and a small chat with Celestia I was shown the portal to the new dimension. "It's a mirror... why the fuck is it a mirror?" I asked as Celestia shrugged.
"Starswhirl built it a very long time ago." Celestia looked at the mirror worry etched in her face. "I don't know why Starswhirl would build a portal to another world but he did." Celestia turned to Twilight smiling to her.
"So what are we supposed to do Princess?" Rainbow asked as Celestia let out a sigh.
"Sadly this is a mission that only Jon and Twilight can do. If we sent all of you over to this new world it could upset the balance and collapse their world which we don't want to do." Celestia explained as I checked over my gear making sure it was all in order. "Plus if all of you went over there Jon will be unable to protect all of you at all times while you searched for Twilight's crown. We want a simple and organized operation." I nodded my head getting to my feet.
"Preparations are done I'm ready to go as soon as Twilight is." I noted as I glanced at Twilight seeing that she was zipping up her book bag.
"Twilight while you are and Jon are in that world he is in charge." I blink tapping an ear to make sure I was hearing Celestia correctly.
"Tia are you putting me in charge?" I asked as she nodded.
"If this is indeed your world you will know the ins and outs of it. You are to protect Twilight at all costs and collect her crown." I nodded my head smiling.
"I am the best when it comes to this kind of work so shouldn't take more than a few days." I turned back to the portal taking a deep breath before seizing Twilight by her shirt. "Ladies first." I said as I tossed Twilight through the portal before jumping through myself as I was jumping through I heard the patter of feet on my heels.
I landed on solid ground only to be bowled over by someone else slamming into me. I slammed into the ground groaning. "Ow... Fuck." I muttered out.
"Ow indeed Jon." I heard Moon say from on top of me. We both groaned as we got to our feet.
"Jon who is that?" I heard Twilight's voice as I finally got a good look around me before my eyes set on Twilight. She looked human except for her purple skin. I cocked an eyebrow at that before taking a hard look around me seeing the giant school before us. The sign hanging above the school reading proudly 'Canterlot High School.' I let out a sigh of relief knowing this wasn't my world.
"Jon I think Twilight is trying to talk to you." Moon said as I looked to her only to blink in surprise. "What?"
"Twilight you can see Moon right?" I asked as I looked over Moon as she looked just like a female version of me right down to the black hair and small tuft of dark purple over the right eye.
"Wait that is Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked as I shot her a cold glare.
"Her name is Moon. Be polite Twilight." I said coldly as I held my hand out to Twilight so I could help her to her feet. She took the hand shakily getting to her feet. "I wonder why Moon is outside of my psyche and has a physical body now."
"The mirror might have seen that you have two souls living in you and separated them. The portal might have used you as a template to form her body which explains why she looks just like you except female." I shrugged my shoulders as I heard the portal making some weird noise as a purple and green dog landed on the ground outside the portal.
"Twilight?" The dog said as I raised a finger only to lower it with a sigh.
"Spike? Why did you come through the portal?" Twilight asked as I shrugged my shoulders focusing on more important matters.
"This is not my world but it seems to be a combination of both my world and Equestria. Cool. Now then onto cover stories." I told myself with a nod.
"Hey Twilight. Moon. We need a good cover story if we are going to infiltrate a school and get back your crown without causing a hassle. So here is the best option. Twilight you are Moon and mine little sister. Moon and myself are fraternal twins which makes sense. Anyway what time is it?" I asked as I looked for a clock seeing that it was only 6:26 in the morning.
"So we are supposed to act like a family now?" Moon asked as I shook my head.
"I have been to high school before so how we function is simple. Since you and me are Twins us sticking together isn't that weird but Twilight will have to be separated from us most of the time otherwise it will be bad for our image. We can occasionally be seen together but it has to be sparingly. But since we are only going to be here a few days I am throwing that plan out the window because I don't give a fuck about my image. As long as people fear me and don't fuck with me I will be set." I said as I paced around the group.
"Jon we are here to get my crown back not to bolster your image." Twilight said as I gave her a curious look.
"Let me explain something to you about High school Twilight. If you have connections in school you can get whatever you want. If I can get the right people on my side we could snag that crown with no trouble." I said calmly looking to Moon. "We still got that weird mental connection?" I asked in my head as Moon nodded her head. "You are the talker I am the muscle. Sound good?" I asked as Moon nodded again.
"I have been at this type of manipulation longer than you Jon I can do this without magic." Moon's voice said in my head. I cracked a smile nodding my head.
"Jon people are coming what do we do?" Twilight said panicking as I shrugged.
"Twilight it's just school. Act natural like we are supposed to be here." I said as both me and Moon leaned against the statue crossing our arms across our chest.
"So our first step is to go to the Principal's office and get classes set up and junk like that. Remember were are all siblings and then we find this Sunset Shimmer." I said as I walked at the head of our small group.
"And that's when we kill her right?" Moon asked me using our connection.
"No... If this world is like mine then we can't do that." I said to Moon using our connection.
I saw a few people whispering as they looked at me but whenever my eyes fell on them they would quickly look away in fear. I decided to test something as I tapped someone on the shoulder to get their attention.
"Ugh! Can't you see I am bu-" The Sophomore's voice died in her throat as she looked at me in pure terror.
"Which way to the Principal's office?" I asked as she shakily pointed down the hall never taking her eyes off me.
"F-F-F-Fourth d-d-door on th-th-the right..." She stammered out as I smiled to her nodding.
"Thanks... Now scram." I said with a jerk of my head. The girl squeaked in fear before running off as fast as she could through the crowd that had formed. I looked at the crowd forming. "What are you all looking at? Get out of here!" I said as everyone turned and scampered away.
"Something doesn't feel right." Twilight said as I nodded my head.
"Let's play this a little close to the chest until we get some answers." I said as I made a B-line straight for the Principal's office. "Then we can begin our search."

Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
Once we finally made it to the main office area I was a little confused as to the reactions I got from the teachers. They would look at me with slacked jaws and... is that fear I see in their eyes? Why the fuck would they be afraid of me when I just got here? I continued on till I got to The principal's door opening it to reveal a human Celestia. "Principal Celestia?" I asked as she looked up from her paperwork only for her to jump and send the paperwork flying. I gave her a weird look along with Moon and Twilight.
"Umm... C-Can I help you?" She asked looking more than a little uncomfortable.
"Yea we are new students got to get our schedules and the like. I am J-" I was cut off by Celestia letting out a sigh.
"I know who you are. You were expelled from Manehatten School of Reform. And before that Crystal Prep. And before that Cloudsdale High. I know who you are and I expect you to keep your violent nature in check while here... and not light sections of my school on fire." Celestia said pulling a file out of her desk dropping it on the table with a heavy thud. I looked at the file seeing the name in bold print. "Brass Knuckle."
"Uh Principal I think you have the wrong guy. We just transferred from Griffonia High due to our parents moving. I don't even know who this Brass Knuckle is." I said as she pulled out a picture of Brass knuckle showing him to me and I was surprised to see this Brass Knuckle looked like me except his hair wasn't black with a purple strip it was purple with a black strip. Other than that there was no real difference. "He might look like me but he is not me. Besides my name is Jon not Brass Knuckle. These are my sisters Crescent Moon and Twilight Sparkle." They each said their own hello as Celestia kept her eyes on me.
"I will have my sister organize your schedules but know this Jon. I got my eye on you." I let out a dry chuckle as I turned around walking out.
"Most people do." I said as I closed the door behind me.
I moved through the school watching the other students as they moved to their next class. I didn't have my schedule yet but I needed to see how this school worked. I saw a small hallway that seemed to be having an electrical malfunction. With a shrug I moved into the hallway seeing a few lockers open. I looked in one shrugging as I set my case into the locker closing it. "That's convenient." I said as I turned seeing a girl with fiery hair staring at me.
"I'm gonna guess you and the other two are new to CHS but around here I am in charge." She said as I raised an eyebrow at her "I am Sunset Shimmer and I am the Qu-" I let out a short laugh shaking my head at her.
"Wait wait wait. You mean to tell me that you are my target?" I asked as she gave me a confused glare. "Sunset Shimmer... Princess Celestia's old student?" Her eyes widened as she took a step back. "Look the sooner Twilight gets her crown back the sooner I can go back to my wife and child. So just hand over the crown and we will be on our way." I said as she took another step back.
"How could you possibly?" She asked before she took off in a mad sprint. I rolled my eyes letting out a groan of annoyance.
"Why does everyone have to make my job more difficult?" I asked as I moved out of the darkened hallway to see this world's version of Snips and Snails running after Sunset. "Interesting..." I said as a smile creased my face. I looked about the deserted hallway thinking over what to do now to advance my plans to get the crown back. I'm pretty sure Sunset doesn't have the crown she seemed nervous when I mentioned it like she didn't even have it. I tapped my chin thinking carefully when my arm was seized. My initial reaction would be to take a swing but I resisted the urge by tightening my arm to stop it.
"The bell already rang for classes to resume. You should be in class now." I turned to see this world's Luna standing there still holding my arm tightly. I looked down at her hand before looking back at her.
"I was waiting for my schedule." I lied as Luna gave me a flat look.
"You could have waited in the office like your sisters." Luna held out a slip of paper for me as I looked it over. "You have math right now I will escort you there myself so you do not get lost." I glanced up to see that Luna was glaring at me.
"Lead the way." I said coldly as I yanked my arm out of her grip pulling her off balance. She shot me a dirty look before correcting herself walking ahead of me which I followed closely.
When I arrived at my class I was surprised to see Rainbow Dash sitting to the left of Moon and an empty seat to the right of her. I looked at Luna who was talking with the teacher who kept giving me worried glances. I rolled my eyes making my way to the empty seat sitting down with a thud.
"Good that they are keeping us in the same class." Moon's voice echoed in my mind.
"Indeed. Chat with Dash see what we can gleam from how the school is ran and pass the info to me." I said back to Moon using our connection. I saw Moon turn towards Rainbow Dash whispering to her as I kept my eyes forward on the teacher. The lesson began again but not with some hesitation from the teacher.
The class went pretty smoothly until Moon's voice echoed in my head once again. "So apparently Rainbow Dash and the rest of the girls have some bad blood going about. Something about emails and texts that screwed with everything."
"I am gonna guess Sunset did that shit. Seems like something that cold hearted bitch would do." I replied to Moon.
"My guess as well. she also told me that a lot of bad things happened to anyone that stood up to Sunset. I suggest we tread carefully." I let out a sigh leaning back in my seat.
"I say we take the exact opposite option. We push her into a corner. We only have a few day to pull this damn thing off so we need to be aggressive and a little bit reckless. Our objectives haven't changed." I heard Moon sigh as she leaned back into her own seat. "... What's next on our schedule?" I asked as Moon pulled out her schedule looking it over.
"Lunch. got any ideas for that?"
"Let's see if Twilight can't pull the girls together and pull off the impossible before this hell gets to me."

Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
Moon and myself walked towards the lunch room the students moving out of our way rather quickly to avoid even being near us. I let out an annoyed huff as I got in line for lunch. I looked at the students all either to engrossed in their groups or flat out watching me. Moon set her hand on my shoulder giving me a sympathetic look. I let out a sigh and moved up with the line.
Soon enough I had my lunch in my hands as I looked about the lunch room noticing AppleJack, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight all of which were sitting at separate tables except for the last two. I looked to Moon who nodded her head making her way over to where Rarity sat. I on the other hand made my way to Twilight and Fluttershy. I sat down next to Twilight picking at my food annoyed.
"You ok Jon?" Twilight asked as I looked up at her sighing.
"Ran into Sunset Shimmer and to be honest... I really don't like her. She grinds my gears something fierce." I said as I looked across from us at Fluttershy who looked like she was about to bolt. "You gonna run like everyone else?" I asked as her trembling stopped for a second. "I wouldn't blame you I do look like that guy Brass Knuckles after all." I grabbed my apple spinning in in my hand slowly.
"Fluttershy this is my... Brother Jon." Twilight introduced before she noticed something. "Jon where is Moon?" I stopped spinning the apple as I smiled.
"She is talking to Rarity. We do need more info after all." I said as I heard Fluttershy huff.
"I wouldn't trust Rarity she says she is generous but she will abandon you if it suits her." Fluttershy said as she crossed her arms. I cocked an eyebrow as Twilight was about to retort I set my hand over her mouth.
"Let me guess. You got some texts or emails saying that she was going to help and then she didn't show up." I pointed out as she looked at me shocked. "I thought as much Rainbow Dash said she was getting emails from AppleJack and the same thing was happening then." I took a bite of my apple as Moon's voice came to my head.
"I'm coming over with Rarity she has been having the same experiences as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash." Moon said as I flicked my eyes over to Where Moon was sitting to see both her and Rarity stand and make their way over.
"Moon and Rarity are coming over now." I said as Twilight and Fluttershy looked over to see Rarity and Moon arrive. "Twilight you should try and get Pinkie and Applejack back with the others and then we can move on to taking down Sunset Shimmer." I whispered as she nodded her head.
Rarity and Moon sat down at our table before Rarity looked to Fluttershy and her back at Rarity. "Fluttershy." Rarity said as I rolled my eyes.
"Come on Rarity get over it. It wasn't even Fluttershy that sent those texts or emails. It was Sunset Shimmer." I said taking another bite of my apple.
"And how would you know that?" She asked as she looked at me before flinching.
"Before you say anything else no. I am not Brass Knuckle. also I know Sunset's type she is one of those people who gets off on causing trouble and making others think someone else is at fault." Rarity was about to retort when I shrugged. "You can completely disregard what I said but try talking out what happened with Fluttershy and see for yourself. You'll never know unless you try." I said as she continued to stare at me before turning and talking to Fluttershy. I cracked a smile looking to Twilight. "Try this tactic sometimes. It does wonders." I whispered to her as she giggled nodding.
I continued to eat barely listening to what Fluttershy and Rarity were talking about. I saw them hug it out as I couldn't help but crack a smile finishing up my meal.
"So it was Sunset that sent all of those emails and texts but what is your goal in all of this?" Rarity asked as I thought my answer over.
"I'll cut you a deal Rarity. If you can get all of the girls together with the help of Fluttershy and Twilight I will tell you exactly what we are after." I said as she looked me over before gaining her own smile. I extended my hand to her as she grasped it giving one solid shake.
"I expect a good answer." She said as I rolled my eyes chuckling.
"Oh trust me. It's a good one." I got up from my seat as Moon Joined me. "We'll be in touch." I said as I looked to Twilight. "Go get signed up for the fall formal running thing. I got some more recon to do. Text me if something happens." I gave the girls a small bow before walking off with Moon. "Let's go see the gym I need to set up some... Contingencies." I said as she nodded her head.
"You think you will need them?" She asked as I cracked a wicked smile.
"Abso-fucking-lutely." I said as I made my way to my locker getting my case before making my way to the Gym.
Once I had arrived at the Gym I took a few seconds to examine my surroundings. "Bleachers, large basketball court, and standard exits. Reminds me of my old High School." I said as I walked forward Moon ever present at my side. I saw a Pink girl with Pink hair tossing streamers everywhere. "Hey you must be Pinkie." I said catching the girl's attention she turned around with a big smile only for it to vanish. She looked like she was about to scream when I held my hand up. "You like cupcakes. Eat one first." I said as she let out all the air she had gathered.
"That's a good idea." She said with glee as she pulled a cupcake out of her hair shoving the entire thing into her mouth.
"Now then. I along with my sister want to help out setting everything up. You know heavy lifting and all that." I said as Pinkie looked at Moon gasping before nearly bowling me over to get to Moon.
"Oh my gosh your sister is so pretty. She looks like she could be a super model. Is she a super model because that would be sooooooo sweet." Pinkie gushed as Moon took a step back a little off put by the praise.
"No. Moon isn't a super model. I'm sure Rarity would have a field day having her try on all of her new designs. Well if she didn't have Fluttershy." I said offhandedly. Pinkie let out a very uncharacteristic growl before turning to me.
"Ugh I can't stand Fluttershy. She got so upset with me over one little thing. I mean she asked for a giant explosive loud party and then she gets upset with me when I do exactly as she asked." Pinkie said frantically waving her arms.
"And another one get's hit by Sunset's evil texting spree." I said with a roll of my eyes. Pinkie looked at me confused for a second before raising her finger to object. "Trust me on this Pinks I know what I am talking about. It's kinda my job after all." I said as she continued to hold her finger in the air.
"Are you a secret agent? Sent here to take do the evil queen Sunset Shimmer?" Pinkie asked as I tapped my chin thinking it over before nodding.
"Something like that. Now I need you to do me a favor. My other sister here is Twilight Sparkle and I need you to write down her name on the running of the Fall formal Queen."
"Princess." Pinkie corrected as I waved off her comment.
"Anyway think you can pull that off for me Pinkie?" I asked as she pulled out a clipboard and pen writing down Twilight's name
"Hey I never caught your name." Pinkie said as I cracked a smile.
"Jon. And if you see AppleJack mind pointing her towards Twilight. Got to keep searching about for our... Investigation. And tell no one about us being agents."
"Okie-Dokie-Lokie." Pinkie said with her normal chipper attitude.
"Pinkie Promise me." I said as Pinkie froze once again before giving me a wide eyed look. "I know things Pinkie now the promise if you will. I need to know that you won't tell anyone. And no one breaks a Pinkie Promise." I said as she went through the motions reciting the promise as I clapped my hands together loudly. "Good. Moon we are off. We got more work to do." Once we were out of the Gym I shot a look at Moon.
"I put it under the first row of bleachers along the right wall closest to the back right entrance." Moon told me through our connection.
"Perfect." I purred as we made our way to our next class.

Chapter 4: They Did... What?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
It was a new school day and with only a few days remaining I had to kick Twilight's ass into gear. We needed all the help we could get to help Twilight win that crown... I fucking hate this job. I wish I could do this mission how I want to. Stab Sunset through the chest and steal the crown by force. Simple easy and back before dinner. BUT NO! I got to do it Twilight's way because she would only bitch and bitch and bitch if I did it my way. I'm the one who is supposed to be in charge and yet I still have to take orders from her... Fuck.
I couldn't help a sigh as I sat in math class not even paying attention to the teacher giving the lecture. I already knew all this shit and could blow these fuckers away with my knowledge on magical theory. I mean how many people can tell you the exact amount of mana required to rip someone's arms clean from their torso? Fucking no one in this world I can tell you that... Except maybe Sunset but she would inevitably fuck it all up and only dislocate or possibly a muscle tear. Nothing like what I do on a near day to day basis. I let out another sigh slamming my forehead on the desk.
"Jon if my class is that boring to you why don't you come up here and answer the problem on the board." The teacher said as I looked up to stare at the board with a cold glare. I got to my feet walking up to the board taking a piece of chalk before rotating it between my fingers as I looked over the problem before me.
"This is stupid." I muttered as I began writing out my work as I solved the problem. I began to just let my mind wander as I continued to write out the answer. I mean I would kill to have my magic back right now. So much could easily be solved with a quick flick of the wrist. I finished setting the chalk down as I returned to my seat slamming my forehead on the desk once again. Twilight better hurry the fuck up and win this stupid fucking thing before I go insane from lack of violence.
I walked through the school enjoy the small reprieve from classes as I duck into a room only to see all the girls talking with Twilight. "What is going on now?" I asked as Moon closes the door behind us.
"The problem is that Sunset compiled some smear campaign against Twilight to get everyone against her." Rarity said as I slapped a hand to my forehead.
"It's a good thing I planned for shit like this." I said turning to Pinkie. "Has Sunset thrown together a smear campaign against Moon?" I asked as Twilight perked up.
"She tried to but since Moon only follows you around she couldn't throw anything concrete together." Pinkie said typing away on her phone.
"Rarity what about the gossip pool? Can we still salvage the damage Sunset did against Twilight?" I asked as Rarity sighed.
"We would need a miracle to repair her reputation." I tapped my chin thinking.
"Well it's a good thing I am a miracle worker." I said looking to Moon. "Girls let's go get Rainbow Dash in on all of this. We need every group in school to turn on Sunset and be on Moon's and Twilight's side. I would rather have 2 runners than one on our side anyway." I said as Applejack crossed her arms upset over the mention of Rainbow. "Stow it Applejack. This is bigger than whatever little feud you have with Rainbow Dash. Now chop chop I have a few things to plan." I turned back to Moon as she nodded opening the door as we made our exit.
"What is your plan Jon?" Moon asked as I shrugged.
"Stomp out this little fire and then stomp out the big fire. I'll focus on attack you run point defense." I said cracking a wicked smile.
"Of course." Moon said as we moved towards to Gym.
Once I opened the doors to the Gym I caught Snips and Snails destroying all the hard work Pinkie put together and standing around watching the chaos was Sunset Shimmer. I cracked a smile as I took a few pictures of the destruction in progress when I noticed Snips dragging a case out from behind the bleachers. I shook my head as I continued to watch them.
"What is this thing?" Snips asked as he continued to drag the case. Sunset walked forward shoving Snips out of the way before kneeling in front of the case trying to unlatch it only to have her hand shocked.
I saw her mumbling as she stared down at the case and that's when I made my move. I kicked the door to the gym open with a thunderous boom. Everyone in the gym jumped as I strolled in with Moon right behind me. "Well well well." I began as I made my way towards Sunset and her goons. "Looks like the mice are playing while the cat is away." I said as Sunset got to her feet. "Sadly the cat returned to catch the mice while they played."
"GET HIM YOU IDIOTS!" Sunset ordered As Snips and Snails charged at me flailing their limbs as if they were even going to be a challenge. When Snips got close enough I seized him by his face tossing him aside. Snails I side stepped tripping him in the process. I looked behind me as they slowly got back to their feet. I rolled my eyes as I turned my attention back to Sunset.
"That case is mine. And you are gonna hand it back to me." I held my hand out to her.
"I suggest doing what he says." Moon said as she stood beside me. "You are playing with magic you can't hope to control." Sunset looked between Moon and myself before her hand gripped the handle tight.
"Don't do it." I said as she got ready to run. "I fucking mean it don't run." I threatened as I gripped my hands into fists and then she took off... only to be halted by the weight of the case. "See I told you not to do it. That case has so many seals on it that only one person can truly carry it with ease. The longer you are in contact with it the heavier it gets." I walked forward towering over Sunset as I glared down at her. "Our fight will come little Sunset. Now then." I reached down lifting my case out of her grip. "Have a good day. Hope your stupid plan blows up in your face." I said with a casual wave. I saw Snips and Snails charging me again only for me to raise my case as their hands impacted the hard case. They both yelled out holding their hands. "Jeez you two are pathetic." I said as I exited the Gym with a pep in my step. "Oh boy today is going to be fun." I said as I made my way through the halls.
Apparently Twilight was being framed for the destruction. I thought about going in to Luna's office to show off the pictures I had taken only to get upstaged by some Jock named Flash. Not gonna lie. Kinda upset about the fact that this guy just upstaged me and did my job. On the other hand... Less work for me so Par for the course. Sadly since the Gym was absolutely destroyed they wanted to call off the entire dance.
"They can't just cancel the Fall Formal." Pinkie said as she looked at the destruction of all her hard work. I shrugged my shoulders walking over to the flipped over tables lifting them up before carrying them to their appropriate place.
"Jon what are you doing?" Twilight asked as I went over to the over turn speakers flipping them upright.
"What's it look like I am doing?" I asked as Moon joined me in cleaning up. "We have a time constraint Twilight so shut up and help me get this place in working shape." I said fixing another heavy speaker.
"But how are we going to fix all of this? We don't have enough time to do it all by ourselves." Rarity said as I only continued to work diligently. I went to pick up another speaker only for Applejack and Rainbow Dash to help me.
"Well come on Ya'll it ain't gonna fix itself." AppleJack said as all of us got into the swing of it.
Slowly people began to pass by the gym and join in helping fix up the Gym. It was kinda nice to know all the work didn't fall onto me. Though if I did have my magic a simple flick of the wrist and all of this shit would have been done. I smiled as I watched everyone helping each other clean up and finally work together under one simple goal.
My eyes flicked to the entrance to see Sunset Shimmer walk off in a huff. I cracked an even bigger smile at that sight. I saw Celestia and Luna walk into the room looking at the repaired Gym with smiles. "The Fall Formal is on once again!" She announced as the entire school cheered filing out to go get ready for the dance. I got to my feet dusting my legs off as I was seized by the arm. I repressed my standard greeting to such treatment instead opting to look at who grabbed me. I saw it was Rarity and the girls.
"What?" I asked as the girls looked at each other before turning their smiles at me. "No seriously what is going through those heads of yours." and with that I was abducted and dragged off to get a suit.
I was forced into a suit against my will via one very... insistent Rarity. A simple black coat and pants with a dark purple vest. Rarity tried to get me to wear a Trilby hat only for me to see a simple black Baseball cap laying on her table. I grabbed the cap putting it on my head with a smile. I was always a cap guy anyway.
Now came to fun part of going to the dance and winning the crown ba-
"Hey Jon you told me that you would tell all of us once we all got back together what your secret mission was." Pinkie said as I paused.
... Ah shit I did say I would didn't I....
"Fuck." I muttered as I turned around as Twilight looked at me in shock as I shrugged my shoulders. "Fine a Pinkie Promise is a Pinkie Promise."
"Darling what are you talking about. What secret mission?" Rarity asked Pinkie.
"Well it's actually really simple. Twilight, Spike, Moon, and myself are all from a different dimension. Sunset Shimmer came to our world and stole Twilight's crown and we were tasked with coming to take it back. The crown that is the prize is A magical artifact known as an element of harmony and Sunset wants to use it probably to take over the world. Anyway that's the gist of it all. Oh and Moon. She doesn't have her own body since she is the physical manifestation of my magic due to the portal we came through since she had her own personality the portal separated both of us. OH! and I am actually not even the age to be in High School. I'm actually 27." I said as everyone looked at me with slack jaws.
"Come on Jon it's not cool to lie to us like that." Rainbow said as Applejack set her hand over her shoulder.
"He ain't lying Sugarcube. No hesitation in his delivery what so ever and not even a twitch. He is telling the truth completely." The girls looked to Applejack and then to me.
"WHAT!" They all yelled before turning to Twilight.
"Come on Twilight you guys aren't really from a different dimension." Rainbow said as Twilight sighed.
"No he is telling the truth. We come from a different world. I am actually a princess of a nation and Jon... Jon is the protector of our entire nation. Though his methods leave much to be desired." She said shooting me a glare.
"Sorry Twilight I can't hear you over the number of times I saved the world." I said chuckling at the annoyance on her face. "Well you guys wanted the truth so there you go." I said with a shrug. Rarity fainted completely missing her couch as she went down.
Darkness Deals With... What?
Chapter 5: SHE DID... WHAT!?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
Once Rarity was brought back to consciousness we all made it to the dance. It was gonna be weird for me to be at a party since I had bigger fish to fry. All the girls entered the party as I hung back making my way through the party with all the grace of a rhino tearing it's way through a glass factory. One guy bumped into me only to be shoved back into the fray. "Fucking stupid kids being stupid fucking kids." I muttered under my breath as I made my way to the punch table. Many of the party goers saw me only to move away from the table immediately.
I let out a sigh as I poured myself a drink and was about to grab a plate to get some snacks when my hand bumped into someone's own hand. I jerked my hand back looking at who's hand I unintentionally grabbed. She was about my height with a head of Dark red hair and light pink skin. She looked at me not with fear but with curiosity. I stared at her eyes seeing that same cool blue that perfectly contrasted with her color. "Red?" I asked as little startled.
"Uh yea that's my name but I don't think we have ever been introduced. My name is Red Line what is yours?" She asked extending her hand to me. I looked down at her hand before grasping it.
"Jon." I said as she continued to look at me before she cracked a smile releasing my hand.
"Well Jon. Have fun at the party." She said before rejoining her friends who were all giving me looks of disgust. I felt my anger flare as the cup in my hand exploded as I clenched my hand. I looked at the cup throwing it away before getting a new drink. I slowly sipped on the drink scanning the entire room. "Where the fuck is that bitch?" I asked myself as I saw no Sunset anywhere.
I moved about the room slowly every few minutes continuing to scan the room for Sunset or her two cronies. Nothing for 3 solid hours not a single sighting. I confirmed it with Moon as well and that was worrying me to no end. "Can I have everyone's attention?" I heard Celestia announce getting everyone's attention as the music quieted down. "I will now announce the Fall Formal Princess." She said as I did one last quick search of the room just in time to see Sunset standing by the door waiting that same stupid smug grin on her face.
Celestia was handed a letter by Luna as she opened it reading over it quickly. "It appears we have a tie for first place." Celestia said as everyone looked about confused. "The winners are. Twilight Sparkle and Crescent Moon. Come up here girls." Celestia said as a spot light shown on both of them.
"We only need to get the crown so forfeit the crown so we can hurry the fuck up and leave." I told Moon through our connection. I saw both Twilight and Moon get on stage with Celestia and Luna. I turned my attention back to Sunset only to see she had disappeared. "Fuck." I muttered as I made my way towards my case's hiding spot. The Library on top of the Non-Fiction shelf was the perfect hiding spot.
I ran through the halls seeing that both Snips and Snails were standing outside the library. Once they saw me they panicked running into the library. "How did that bitch know where I was hiding my case?" I asked myself as I ran into the library only to catch a chair to the face knocking me back out of the Library.
"So you are they one ruining my reputation." A familiar voice said as I got back to my feet checking my nose only to see blood pouring out of my broken nose. I looked up to see my attacker before I tilted my head.
"What the fuck did I run into a mirror?" I asked as the man standing before me looked almost exactly like me except his skin was black as pitch. "If I was to hazard an actual guess I would say you are Brass Knuckle." I said as I reached up resetting my nose with a loud crunch.
"And you must be that fuck Jon that Sunset told me about. She is paying me some serious cash to fuck you up." I cracked a smile as he did as well. "Now enough with the formalities let get this shit done."
"I can always gut Sunset when I am through with you." I charged straight for Brass as he charged as well. When we were both in range He took a wild swing at me only to get parried and flipped over my shoulder straight into the ground. I raised my foot bringing it down only for my foot to get caught and a sharp pain to radiate from my calf. I looked down seeing a knife sticking out of my leg. "You cheeky fuck." I said taking a few steps back pulling the knife out of my leg with a grunt.
"This is a street fight bitch there are no rules." He said raising his fist which I saw held brass knuckles. I raised my own fists keeping a hold on the knife.
"You want to fight dirty then let's fight dirty you little shit." I flipped the knife in my right hand backwards as he charged at me bobbing and weaving as he closed the distance. I kept calm as I went over my standard fight technique in my head. "Probing jab." I said as Brass' left hand shot forward only for my to push it away throwing an elbow to the side of his jaw knocking him back. Brass let out a growl charging back in. "Right hook." I announced as the fist came only to halt and his left fist to come flying at my head. I grabbed him by his wrist jamming the knife into his shoulder. "An obvious feint." I said kicking Brass away with a heel to his gut. "As much fun as I am having this is not as Fun as I thought it would be. It's like fighting a toddler." I flipped the knife a few times in my hand before taking aim and letting the knife fly. The knife embedded all the way to the hilt in Brass' knee which he let a yell of pain gripping his knee tightly. "I'll be back but right now I have more pressing matters to deal with."
"Jon we could use some help here Sunset got Twilight's crown and became a raving she-demon." Moon told me through our connection.
"Yea yea I just had to fight myself so give me some time to get the case and back over there. Where are you guys?" I asked as I made my way to the non-fiction section getting the case off of the shelf.
"Front of the school." I stopped looking about the library seeing a ladder leading to the roof. I cracked a smile as I went up the ladder standing on the roof. I heard the cackling of Sunset Shimmer as I made my way towards the from of the school. When I got to the edge of the roof I saw Sunset flying with bat wings as she charged a spell up. I unlatched the case revealing my blades as I quickly secured them to my body. I closed the case lifting it up.
"HEY BITCH!" I yelled as Sunset looked over her shoulder at me as I threw the case as hard as I could nailing her in the face. "REMEMBER ME!?" I drew Umbra off of my back jumping off of the building right for her. When she finally recovered I tackled into her forcing her to land with a solid bone breaking thud. I was kicked off of her slamming into Moon who jumped in front of the girls to stop me from hurting them.
"YOU HAVE BEEN A THORN IN MY SIDE EVER SINCE YOU SHOVED YOUR NOSE WHERE IT DIDN'T BELONG!" Sunset took to the air once again charging her spell. I wound Umbra up throwing it only to miss by a few millimeters. "I WON'T MISS!" She yelled continuing to charge her spell.
"YOU'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST BITCH!" I yelled back my anger at an all time high.
"Then you can die with them." Sunset let her spell loose as I quickly drew Solaris off of my back using it as a shield as the girls surrounded Twilight. The spell hit Solaris protecting us but I felt my strength leaving me from the blood loss. I'm not invincible here I didn't have my magic to keep me going. My arms began to shake from the strain when I felt nothing hitting Solaris anymore. A bubble shield of pure light surrounded us and just as fast as it appeared it disappeared. I looked behind me to see that the girls were glowing in the magic of the elements. I looked around to see no sign of Moon until i felt a freezing sensation course through my entire being. I felt my wounds heal up and a familiar feeling of my rage powering my magic start up.
"WHAT!?" Sunset roared as I cracked a smile.
"Hey Twilight Mind hanging onto Solaris for a second?" I asked holding Solaris out as Twilight took it from me. "I'm gonna have my fun so don't blast her just yet." I flicked my wrist as Umbra flew back to me landing in my outstretched hand. I looked to Sunset as I ran a hand through my hair activating my Nightmare form. "OH SUNSET!" I yelled as Umbra revved up violently. "DON'T MAKE THIS TO EASY FOR ME!" I jumped off the ground getting up close and personal with her seizing her by the throat. I spiked her straight into the ground creating a crater before dropping down Umbra posed to strike. I slammed down on top of her as she let out a roar of pain. "COME ON SUNSET I'M FUCKING WAITING!" I yelled as I grabbed her leg throwing her out of the crater before jumping up to join her once again.
"Twilight what is going on here?" Rainbow asked as I let out a sigh.
"This is how Jon deals with a threat against Equestria. It's sickening." I said as I watched Jon toss Sunset like a rag doll into the side of the school before drop kicking her deeper into the school. "He isn't even fighting her... He is toying with her like she is nothing more than a child. This is our great protector... Even though he has saved my country more times than I can remember I think he has only fought seriously once or twice."
"Quite brutish." Rarity said as we saw Sunset fly back out of the school skidding on her feet to a stop. Jon appeared is a flash of dark purple.
"Is that it?" Jon asked raising his hands. "I know there is more fight left in there. Let's see what you really got." Jon goaded her as Sunset let a scream of fury as she charged him taking a swipe with her talons Jon raised his arm as it was cut off at the elbow. Jon let out a roar of pain gripping his arm tight. The girls all let out a gasp as Jon continued to yell.
"That's what you get and now I will show you true power." Sunset said as she began to cackle. Which was soon joined by Jon which caused her to stop and take a step back. Jon continued to laugh before wiping a tear away.
"Oh shit that was hilarious. I was like. 'AHHH MY ARM!' And you were like 'I have bested you mwahaha.' The look on your face was perfect." Jon mocked as he let out another chuckle before flicking his wrist as his standard spell constructed pistol appeared in his hand before he shot Sunset straight in the knee. "Oh fuck that was funny." Jon said as he picked up his amputated arm before slapping Sunset across the face with it. Jon looked at his arm before connecting it to the stump as a flash of dark purple erupted from the wound sealing it together. Jon flexed his fingers before making a fist. "Still hurt though." Jon's fist began to crackle with lightning as he reared his fist back before nailing Sunset across the face putting her down for the count.
"All yours Twilight." Jon said picking up Umbra stepping on Sunset as walked over her. "I had my fun." I sighed before I saw Snips and Snails also corrupted by Sunset's magic flying right for Jon only for him to casually flick his wrist as they both slammed into each other falling to the ground in a heap. "YOU BOTH STILL FUCKING SUCK!" Jon yelled as he continued to walk until he stood by all of us. "Great party huh." Jon said casually as the girls took a step away from him unsure about how to deal with what they just witnessed.
"Girls we can purify Sunset but I need your help. So here is what we do..."
I stood by leaning on Umbra as the girls went about purifying Sunset and returning Twilight's crown to her. I let out a yawn of boredom as they went through the whole "Friendship" bullshit but it's whatever. I should be leaving soon. I wonder what Red is doing right now...
"Here is Solaris Jon." I heard Twilight say as I took the blade from her setting it in it's holster. "Did you really have to toy with her like that?" Twilight asked as I kept my eyes on Sunset.
"What are my rules Twilight?" I asked as Sunset caught sight of me flinching back as she quickly looked away from me.
"Don't question your methods." Twilight said annoyed as I let out a chuckle patting her on the head.
"That's right. So are we done here?" I asked as The girls ran over about to speak to her when they took a step away still unsure how to deal with me. "Twilight can I go back to our world? I have to check up and Red and the baby." I said as the girls perked up.
"Baby? What baby?" Pinkie asked as I looked to her.
"Did I forget to mention that I am married and have a baby?" I asked as the girls stood there shocked.
"WHAT!?" The yelled as one as I rubbed my ears.
"Yeesh good sets of pipe on you girls. Yes I am married and I am a father." I said as Rarity raised her arms skyward.
"How can anyone deal with you? You are such a brute and so cruel. LET ALONE HAVE A BABY WITH YOU!?" Rarity screamed out as I shrugged.
"That is a long ass story for another time. You girls go have fun with the party I have to do the second part of my job. I get to clean up my mess." I said raising Umbra sheathing it on my back. "Shouldn't take me long to fix up the main building I did leave the Gym alone just in case." I said flicking my wrists as I used my magic to repair the damage. I slowly moved through the school making my way to the library seeing that Brass Knuckle was leaning against a wall still holding his fucked knee.
"Did you come to finish the job? Well hurry up and get it over with." Brass said as I shook my head chuckling.
"Nah I'm gonna fix you up and get you on your way. Just hope I never see you at this school ever again." I said as I walked up to him slamming Umbra into the ground as I got to work on healing his knee. He looked at me warily as I finished up before holding my hand out to him. He grabbed my hand as I helped him to his feet. "And put that knife away. If you stab me I will have to kill you." I seized Umbra pulling it out of the ground with no resistance. "Plus I think my knife is bigger." I said as Brass let out a chuckle spinning his knife a few times before pocketing it.
"If what I have seen of you with a knife I dread what you can do with that behemoth." He said as I chuckled with him. "It was a good fight." Brass said raising his fist. I bumped it with my own.
"No it wasn't. I was handicapped from the start and if I had my magic you would have been fucked in the first few seconds." I shrugged my shoulders sheathing Umbra. "Now get the fuck out of here and don't you ever come back." Brass shrugged walking off as if nothing happened. "What a dick." I muttered as I went back along my route to repair the school.
When I finally finished repairing the school I set my blades in their case locking it with a sigh getting to my feet. I turned to see the entire school watching me. I looked at each of their faces seeing only terror and hate at what they didn't understand. I looked away from them looking at the portal making my way towards it when someone grabbed my arm. I stopped looking behind me to see Sunset Shimmer holding me back. I quirked my eyebrow at her as she released me taking a step back. "I'm sorry." She whispered as I only shook my head.
"Your apology doesn't mean shit to me. They are the ones you should apologize to." I said pointing at the students that continued to watch the interaction. "I was only brought to assist Twilight in retrieving her crown. You were my target and they were under my protection. Nothing more. Nothing less." I set my case over my shoulder turning my back to her. "YOU CAN ALL REST EASY! I AIN'T FUCKING COMING BACK!" I yelled as I made my way to the portal stepping through. I was met with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, and the rest of the elements. They all looked happy to see me but I only pushed past them.
"Where is Twilight Jon?" Celestia asked as I shrugged.
"She will be back shortly. I'm going home." I said raising my hand only to have is seized in magic.
"Jon what is wrong?" My hand shook in rage before the magic exploded off of my hand.
"Fuck off I just want to go home and spend time with my family." I said as I finally snapped my fingers disappearing in a flash of dark Purple.
Darkness Deals With... What?
Chapter 6: You Want Me To... What?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
It had been a few months since Twilight's and my adventure through the portal to get her crown back. That world still pisses me off but that is to be expected with the looks I got when I left that shit hole. According to Twilight The school has returned to normal and she is in constant contact with Sunset. She even wrote a few messages directed towards me. Each one an apology to what happened and some information about what people are talking about revolving around the incident. A few people say I was a big help... Others weren't so kind with their words. Didn't faze me what they had to say.
"Jon. Whatcha doing?" Red asked as I looked up from my journal.
"Compiling my thoughts." I said with a shrug. "Helps calm me down and think straight." I said as she sat down next to me looking at my journal with a frown.
"Still holding a grudge against that world?" She asked as I sighed closing the journal with a sharp snap. "I don't blame you for being upset but you have to let it go." I nodded my head when I heard a knock at the door. "I didn't know we were expecting company." Red said as I flicked my wrist summoning my pistol as I took aim at the door.
"Enter." I said as the door opened to reveal Twilight who looked panicked as usual. I dismissed the pistol cocking an eyebrow at her. "What the fuck Twilight you look like someone burned down your collection of books."
Twilight for her part pulled out a book holding it out to me. I cocked an eyebrow grabbing the book opening it only to see a single page completely obscured by one word.
"HELP!"
I turned the page seeing more was written which only confused me more. "Send Jon We need something worse than what we are facing." My head tilted to the side before closing the book with a loud snap. I got to my feet tossing the book at Twilight.
"Alright Twilight. What do you need me to do?" I asked as Twilight sighed.
"I didn't want to ask you to go back to that world due to your... distaste towards it." Twilight said trying to tiptoe past the issue.
"Absolutely hate the people of that world with an unholy passion... yes." I stated flatly. "But again it really falls down to you Twilight. I might be a monster to all forms of attack against our country but only you can give me the order to protect this other world. So what will you do Twilight?" I asked as I took a step forward getting in her face. "Send me knowing that i will judge for myself whether I should help these people or let me stay right here?" I asked as Twilight looked away looking down at the book in her hand.
"You know I can't order you to do anything Jon. So I am not going to. Instead I am going to ask you. Please. Help them." Twilight said as she finally looked me in the eye. I stood there continuing to stare her down before cracking a smile.
"Fine. I'll help them with whatever little problem they might have." I turned away making my way over to my case lifting it over my shoulder. "I expect some information on what the fuck is going on when I get there." I said walking over to Red giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Duty calls." I said as she pouted at me.
"You owe me." Red said as I chuckled.
"Forever and always." I said turning back to Twilight. "Let's get this shit started I have an itch to scratch."
"We should hurry to the portal I might have a spell that will allow us to travel outside of the time frame." I cracked a smile raising my fingers.
"Sounds like fun." I smiled snapping my fingers.
"I really hope they show up." Sunset said as her and the rest of the girls sat around the statue.
"I understand wanting to bring Twilight here to try and get this all fixed but... Why Jon?" Rainbow asked as Sunset sighed.
"Sadly. According to Twilight. Jon is an authority so to speak on dark magic. To the point that even Princess Celestia has named him as such. He is the only one in the entirety of Equestria that is allowed to study it's dark secrets and use it. In order to fight the Dazzlings we need him to break down their magic and figure out everything about it." Sunset explained leaning her head back against the statue.
"You are pretty close Sunset." A male voice echoed from the statue as a familiar figure stepped out. "I am THE authority on Dark magic." Jon said as he adjusted his case. "Good to see you haven't turned back into a raving She-Demon and force me to put you down... Again." Jon glared down at Sunset who only cowered under his gaze. "Anyway I should get to work." Jon said as he set down his case as he raised his hands a dark purple glow encasing them as he began to scan the area.
"I really wish you would wait for me to check and see if the portal was stable before you even tried going through it." Twilight said as she stepped through the portal.
"TWILIGHT!" The girls all yelled as they got up hugging the Princess of Friendship.
"Girls..." Jon muttered as he continued to scan the magic around him. "Well Sunset you were smart to call me in on this." Jon said as he lowered his hands looking around him before his eyes focused on something tracking it slowly. "Sunset ever heard of a spell called mana sight?" Jon asked as he turned away walking towards her.
"It's a very difficult spell from what I remember of it. Why?" Jon stopped in front of her before raising a hand setting it over her eyes. "What are you doing?" Sunset asked before Jon lowered his hand and she stumbled back with a yelp.
"Calm down ignore my mana and focus right there." Jon said pointing at a spot in the air. There were bits of black mist floating around the courtyard but a section of the mist was being pulled around. "All this black mist is from me. When we fought I burned a lot of mana and this is what remains of it. Something is dragging it around." Jon turned back to Sunset who only continued to stare at him in horror. "Oh right... Mana sight allows you to see through disguises... So you can see all of this can't you?" Jon said motioning to himself and Sunset only nodded. "Sunset. Focus." Jon snapped as Sunset blinked a few times shaking her head out. "Something is trying to 'eat' my residual magic which... let's just say could be very dangerous."
"How are you still alive?" Sunset asked confusing everyone except Jon and Twilight.
"Immortality does that... Now I have to figure out how to break whatever is eating my magic." Jon flicked his wrists as all of the magic rushed over to him collecting into a sphere of dark purple before him. Jon closed his hands as the magic was compressed into a solid gem before their very eyes. "And here is our bait. Now let's go catch a fish."
Darkness Deals With... What?
Chapter 7: I Sleep Where?... What?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
After getting everyone back in order the girls decided to go to this world's version of Sugarcube Corner and get some lunch. I opted to stay behind at the school continuing my investigation. I kept flipping the new solidified dark magic in my palm as I walked around the school when I heard voices talking. "Dagi I still think this is stupid." An annoyed woman said as I slinked up to the room they were in.
"It will not matter in the end Aria. This school is already falling under our spell and soon enough the whole world will be under our thumb." I peeked in through the window on the door seeing three women chatting with each other.
"It will be so easy. These humans are so easily tricked." A third woman said as I continued to watch in silence.
"Hey Moon you can feel it to can't you?" I asked Moon as she appeared behind me.
"No doubt that is dark magic. It's weak but I can feel it." I nodded my head as I saw one of them look up at the door. That was my cue.
I turned away from the door making my way down the hall when the door opened rather violently. I looked over my shoulder cocking an eyebrow as all three of the girls exited the room each one with different reactions to me. The purple haired one looked pissed. The orange haired one looked calm almost cocky. The neon blue haired one... Looked confused. "What?" I asked as the Purple one made a B-line for me.
"What were you doing spying on us?" She demanded grabbing me by the shirt. I looked down at her hand before my eyes caught sight of her red gem.
"So that's how you absorb dark magic... Interesting." I said as I grabbed her wrist pulling my shirt free. "Listen I don't fucking care what you little fish do. But let me be very clear. Walk away before you get hurt." I shoved The purple one away dusting my shirt off calmly.
"And if we don't?" The orange haired one asked which I only cracked a smile. I tossed the gem in my hands a few times before tossing it over to her.
"I'm sure you can feel it. What you play with is pittance compared to what I fuck with." I said with a shrug. "But if you really want to throw down. I'm sure I can free up a spot." The orange one looked over the gem before tossing it back to me. "This is your only warning. Walk the fuck away." I turned on my heel walking down the hall as I heard foot steps rushing towards me. I flicked my wrist as the steps ceased. I looked over my shoulder staring down The purple haired one who had a fist raised towards me. I couldn't help but chuckle as I turned around slamming my hand into her throat lifting her up high as I looked at the orange haired girl once more. "Keep your pets on a shorter leash. Never know when someone might just... put them down." I said as The orange one didn't even blink an eye.
"I... will... kill... you..." I looked up at my prisoner as I only tightened my grip before tossing her down the hall.
"I'll be around." I warned as I raised my hand snapping my fingers as I teleported back to the front of the school. "I now have a few targets to handle. Should be more than fun."
I spent the better part of the afternoon searching for Twilight and the girls. "I really wish they would have at least came to the school to pick me up or tell me what the fuck they were up to. "This is taking way to long." I muttered as I ducked into an alley flexing my magic as I began to search for Twilight's magical signature. I focused on the energy before casting my spell. I could hear the magic in my ears ring before a voice echoed in my head.
"Jon is that you?" Twilight asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Who the fuck else Twilight? Anyway where the fuck are you?" I asked as I began to move my magic.
"Pinkie invited me and the girls to a sleep over. Why?" My magic ceased moving as I thought about that for a quick second.
"Is everyone decent?" I asked as there was a pause.
"Yea none of us have even changed into our nightwear yet." I let out a sigh of relief as I resumed constructing the spell I needed.
"Good. Clear a spot for me." I said as I finished the spell.
"Clear." Twilight said as I raised my hand snapping my fingers as I teleported appearing in a kitchen with a flash. I stretched my arms letting out a sigh.
"Twilight I wish you would just tell me when you are going to just up and disappear. I was looking all over town for you." I reprimanded.
"Sorry it was an out of the blue thing." I shrugged my shoulders patting her head.
"I'll forgive it just once... And only once. I am to protect you and when I can't keep an eye on you I can't really do that." I said before shrugging. "Good news though I have the classification done on our targets. Tier three. Manipulative class. Emotion sub-type." I said as Twilight thought it over for a second.
"And you are positive?" Twilight asked as I nodded my head.
"Who the hell do you think made the dark magic classification scale?" I asked as she nodded.
"Twilight who are you talking to?" I heard Sunset ask as she came into the room to see me. She stopped in her tracks and I could see the fear flash through her eyes before she shook her head out. "Hello again Jon. I wasn't expecting you to be here." Sunset said as I shrugged.
"I had to give Twilight my assessment on the sirens. Quite the... interesting bunch but nothing to write home about. Just a bunch of low ranks." I said before cocking my head at her. "Any particular reason why no one texted me or called me about moving Twilight somewhere new?" I asked as Sunset just looked at me confused.
"Jon none of us even have your number." Sunset said as I cocked an eyebrow.
"HEY PINKIE!" I yelled as she suddenly popped out of a door looking at me with a smile. "You got my phone number don't you." I said as she smiled even more.
"Yeppers. Had it the first day you showed up." Pinkie said as I gave Sunset a flat look.
"Next time call me if you guys disappear on me." I said as Pinkie gave me a salute before disappearing around the corner.
"Why am I not surprised?" Sunset asked only to get a shrug out of me.
"Anyway you mind if I hang out for a little bit? I need to give you guys some more info on what we are dealing with." I asked as Pinkie appeared through a different door.
"Okie Dokie Lokie." Pinkie said as she skipped through the kitchen before going up the stairs. I rolled my eyes as I motioned for them to go before me.
It took a few minutes to tell everyone that I was not staying for the whole night and that I was only staying to inform them about the Sirens. "Alright from what I can put together from my short interaction with the sirens. I can say with a hundred percent accuracy that we are dealing with a Tier Three. Manipulative Class. Emotional Sub-Type." I said as I pulled a note book out of my magical storage.
"A what now?" Applejack asked as I looked up from my book seeing the confused faces on everyone except Twilight. My palm met my forehead.
"Right you guys are new to the whole magic thing. Sunset hasn't studied the new classification I created..." I sighed as I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Alright Twilight would you like to explain the standard magic user classification scale?" I asked as she nodded clearing her throat.
"The standard magic user classification scale runs on a simple three part scale. First is magical level which goes from one to ten. This says how powerful a user is in the magical arts. The second scale is the class of magic. There is standard, Illusionist, Battle-Mage, Booster, Defensive, And the newest class which is Jack. Then you have the third scale. Sub-Type which is the classification where they draw their magic from. Which comes down to Celestial, Emotional, Ambient, Runic, and Artifact. These three scales give us the classification of a magic user." Twilight said as Sunset and I nodded our heads.
"Take Twilight for example. Twilight is a Tier Eight. Battle-Mage Class. Ambient Sub-Type. A great deal of power which she CAN use in a combat situation to fight that is powered on the magic around her. I would have to run a test on each of you to be able to gauge your magical prowess but it would be pitifully low since none of you have any practice with magic." I explained with a casual wave of my hand.
"But you said the sirens were a manipulative class." Rarity said as I smiled.
"Good job paying attention. That's where my scale comes in. It uses the first and third sections of the normal scale but the Classes change drastically." I explained calmly. "The classes in the Dark Magic Classification Scale are Manipulative, Chaos, Nightmare, Cataclysm, Drainer, And of course Tyrant. The other main difference is that people on the Dark Magic Scale can be multi classed." I opened my book going to the correct page flipping it around before setting it down for everyone to see. "This is Twilight on my scale. A Tier Two. Cataclysm Class. Emotional Sub-Type. She doesn't practice dark Magic so her power is low. If she ever DID go evil she would be a cataclysm class due to the amount of raw magic she could control. she also draws from her paranoia and insecurities for power." I explained as everyone kept their eyes on me. "What?" I asked confused by the looks.
"Well Darling what about you?" Rarity asked as I shrugged.
"Unknown Tier. Cataclysmic-Nightmare Class. Emotional Sub-Type." I said with a shrug.
"I thought you said the scale only goes from one to ten?" Rainbow asked as Twilight nodded.
"It does... Unless the machine explodes. Normally we just say it's a ten if the machine breaks. but when it detonates like it did there is the unknown tier. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are unknown tier on the normal magic scale. Jon is the only one to destroy the machine using dark magic." Twilight said giving me a dirty look.
"You said all out. I went all out." I said picking up my book.
"You still don't look all that powerful." Rainbow said as I flicked my eyes to her.
"Rainbow Dash!" Rarity yelled as I kept my eyes on her. "You can't be so ru-"
"How about a demonstration?" I asked as everyone looked to me in shock. "Just me letting you all 'Feel' my magic." I said as I raised my hand rolling it as a dark purple mist covered the walls. "A show of how much pressure my magic exudes." I said before Twilight seized my hand stopping me.
"Do it. It can't be that bad." Rainbow said as I cracked a smile.
"Anyone who doesn't want to be a part of this please leave the room." I said as I saw Fluttershy dart for the door. Soon enough everyone left the room except for Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Applejack. "Last warning." I said as Twilight looked to the other two worried.
"Just do it already or are you to sca-" Dash's words died in her throat as I flexed my magic as I went nightmare just letting my magic to flow. The room darkened considerably as I kept my eyes locked on Dash and Applejack as they began to hyperventilate and panic. The room continued to lose it's light and just before all the light disappeared the darkness receded as I returned to normal. I took a deep breath letting it out slowly.
"That was about fifty percent. it get's worse from there." I said as I looked at Applejack and Dash as they were huddled against the opposite wall shaking and sweating in fear. "That is the main danger of emotional dark magic users. The more of the emotion that feeds their magic the more powerful they are. Mine is rage." I got to my feet dusting my pants as I walked over to them. "This is why I fight against those that would seek to harm the innocent. The looks on your faces and in you eyes are why. I don't want people to fear for their lives ever again." I said as I turned to Twilight. "Have fun with your sleepover. I will be... yea. See ya later." I snapped my fingers teleporting to the back yard laying down in the branches of a tree. "Good going dumbass... Always have to rise to the challenge don't you?" I asked myself sighing. "Now they hate you. Nothing new there."

Darkness Deals with... What?

I woke up in the dead of night. A nightmare had claimed my dreams once again and I didn't have Luna to help me push them away. I sat up in the branches of the tree rubbing my head as I looked to the house. A light came on catching my attention. I jumped down from my perch making my way over to the window before activating my magic as I walked right through the solid wall with a shiver Twilight was standing by the kitchen island chatting with Sunset.
"Sunset. Twilight." I greeted as they both jumped turning to me.
"Jon you nearly scared me to death." Twilight said holding her heart tightly. I shrugged before looking to Sunset who was still looking at me with fear.
"Do I still scare you so Sunset?" I asked as she flinched. "Let me be perfectly clear. You are not my target. Those who are not my target have nothing to fear of me in combat. Unless you get in my way of said target." I quickly got in her face. "You wouldn't do something as foolish as that would you?" I asked smiling. Sunset only shook in terror.
"Knock it off Jon. That is unnecessary." Twilight reprimanded as I took a step back. "You know that Sunset would never do something like that now drop it."
"Consider it dropped." I said going over to the fridge opening it only to see dozens of cans of whipped cream. "Who the fuck needs this much whipped cream?"
"Pinkie." Twilight said as I thought it over for a second.
"That actually makes sense. Anyway whatcha working on?" I asked as I closed the fridge leaning against it. "You have your notebook once again which means you guys thought of a plan. So let me hear what you got." Twilight looked uncomfortable closing her notebook quickly.
"We came up with the idea that if Their magic is powered by music we could defeat them using a magic spell in the form of a song." Sunset said finally getting herself together. I placed my hand against my chin thinking it over. It could work.
"Music has been used before to move magic about. The words don't even matter in morphing the mana it's the emotions you put into the music. That's what really gives the spell power the words just help with more complex spells. Hey Twilight. Remember the old Bard guild from the book... ah fuck what was the name of it again?" I asked tapping my chin trying to think.
"You are thinking of The Grand Guilds of Equestria." Twilight said as I snapped my fingers nodding. "What about it?"
"That book talked about a few minor bard spells which you can use as a base to help with your spell. Just as you always said. Sometimes it's best to go back to basics." Twilight looked down at her notebook still unsure. "Hey Sunset mind giving me and Twilight some privacy?" I asked as she gave me a strange look. "Don't worry it's just to clarify some minor things. Nothing important for you." I said shooing her out of the room. Once Sunset left the room I turned back to Twilight who looked very nervous. "So what's wrong?" I asked as Twilight flinched. "I have known you for years Twilight. I would like to think I know you well enough to see when you are troubled." Twilight looked away from me.
"It's nothing Jon. I can handle this. I have to." I rolled my eyes as I leaned on the island looking at her.
"You are starting to sound like me. Should I be worried about you going nightmare and dealing with all of your problems like me?" I asked with a smile. Twilight looked to me horrified. "It was a joke Twilight. You are wound so tight I almost thought you were a land mine. Relax." I said as she finally snapped.
"I can't relax. I have to do this. It is my responsibility to help them but how am I supposed to do that when I can't even come up with a simple spell?" Twilight asked tossing her notebook at my chest. "You should be the one creating the spell and helping them. Nothing ever seems to faze you." I smiled softly chuckling.
"Is that what it looks like?" I asked as I stood up sighing. "I am always stressed. Always one step away from snapping. The littlest thing sets me off. Twilight. I live everyday in fear that I will just give into my dark ways. Every fight I go into and every fight I walk away from tells me something I already know." Twilight was now completely focused on my words. "Monster. Villain. Murderer. Nightmare." Twilight was about to counter what I said before stopping. "I know what I am Twilight. I don't fight it but I don't accept it either. I want everyone to be safe. If I have to demonize myself for that to happen then I will play that role and I will play it with a smile." Twilight looked hurt at my words. "You on the other hand are a princess. You are the light people look to for guidance and help. People will always look to you. But that doesn't mean you have to have all of the answers. You are only one person after all. Same reason I can't protect everyone. I am only one person." I shrugged my shoulders smiling. "It's something you have to learn."
"Jon..." Twilight said as I leaned down picking up her notebook holding it out to her.
"A single person shouldn't do all of the work. Ask for help and you will see that your friends will be right there with you to help." I said giving her a big smile that for once was genuine and not filled with twisted malice. Twilight returned the smile grabbing the notebook. "You are the Princess of Friendship Twilight. Use what you know best." I gave her a two finger salute holding my fingers at the ready. "And hey. Apologize to the girls on my behalf. I'm not good at that mushy stuff." I snapped my fingers returning to my tree.

Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
I sat in Rainbow Dash's garage with the other girls trying not to shoot myself in the side of the head listening to the girls try and practice their new song. Rainbow Dash was trying to be center stage which was dragging everyone down. Twilight's singing was just awful. I messed around with one of Rainbow's spare guitars as I continued to listen.
"So what did you think?" I heard Sunset ask as she took a seat next to me.
"Do you want an honest opinion?" I asked as I continued to play around. I looked at Sunset out of the corner of my eye. She nodded as I sighed. I got to my feet handing the guitar to Sunset before walking to Dash's amplifier turning the volume down to a reasonable volume so I could hear everyone else play.
"HEY!" I heard Dash yell as I cocked an eyebrow at her. "Don't mess with my amp." I looked at the amp then back to her before flicking the power switch turning it off.
"You are playing leagues louder than everyone else. You are drowning out the drums which help everyone else keep time with the song. Twilight. I have heard you sing before put some feeling into it. Pinkie... Give me some more of that Bass Drum. I want to feel that THUMP. Rarity turn up your volume slightly. Applejack. Solid bass work. Fluttershy. Keep up the good work." I said as everyone looked at me confused. "I listen to a lot of music. Now do it again from the top." I said before flicking the amp back on. I moved back to Sunset sitting down grabbing the guitar once again.
Soon enough the music started back up and it sounded a lot better. Except for Twilight. She still seemed nervous. "I'm actually impressed. from what Twilight has told me you would just yell at everyone until everything was perfect." Sunset said as my fingers stopped their dance.
"I can't treat them like I would everyone else otherwise they will just shove aside my instructions. I have to go with a different approach." I said shrugging before returning to my music. I nodded my head as I picked up a pocket amp and a set of headphones that Rainbow had lying around. I hooked it all up before testing the settings until I found what I was looking for. I smiled as I began to play hard. I just needed something to clear my head and this was doing it. I closed my eyes as I continued to play nodding my head as I played until I felt something tap my shoulder. I opened my eyes looking over at Sunset who pointed at her ears. I shrugged passing the headphones to her as I turned to volume down on the amp before hitting a note. Sunset nodded as I began to play once again.
I just kept playing without a care until I realized that everyone else had stopped playing and were watching me. "What?" I asked confused.
"What are you playing darling?" Rarity asked to a chorus of nods.
"Music that I listen to a lot. Why?" I asked only to see Dash walk over and plug my guitar into her amp.
"Show us. I want to see what you got." Dash said as I rolled my eyes.
"You all want to see don't you?" I asked as everyone nodded. I couldn't repress my sigh as I got to my feet flicking my wrists as three more of me appeared walking over to Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie. "I need to borrow the drums, bass, and another guitar if I want to do this right." I said as Pinkie and Applejack relieved their instruments to me. I cleared my throat before tapping it with two of my fingers. I heard the drummer tap his sticks together before we began to play.
It felt good to actually play something and put my energy elsewhere besides plans and violence. Something refreshing about it. I couldn't help but smile as I sang into the mic and shredded on the guitar. Made me feel alive. I felt power well up in my body as I continued to play right up until the end of the song. I nodded my head before turning to the girls only to see them looking at me in shock. "What?" I asked as they continued to stare at me. "I know I wasn't that bad."
"Quite the opposite Darling. That was..." Rarity seemed at a lose for words.
"Awesome." Dash said as I shrugged unplugging the guitar before my clones returned the instruments to their respective owners.
"Meh. I don't really play a lot since I don't have to necessary instruments. I am not joining the battle of the bands either. I have one goal in mind and that is taking down the sirens by a peg or two. You guys should get back to practice." I said before making my way to my seat.
"Dagi we need a way to deal with that guy. He will ruin everything!" Aria said slamming her hands on the table.
"There is nothing to worry about Aria. He can easily be dealt with when the time comes. He might be an adept at dark magic but so are we." Adagio said flicking a hand through her hair. "Once we have the magic he won't be able to stand up against us. Not to mention even if he is as strong as we think nothing can resist our song. He will be nothing more than a puppet." Adagio smiled deviously.
"You worry to much Aria. Dagi has it all planned out so just go with the flow." Sonata commented as she sat on the table swinging her feet back and forth.
"You don't understand Sonata. You didn't have his fingers around your throat. You didn't see the look in his eyes. He sees us as nothing more than meat. He's a killer Dagi and one that needs to be stopped before your plan blows up." Aria said as she layed her finger tips on her still bruised throat. "He is a monster like nothing we have seen here or in Equestria."
"Have faith Aria. He will be unable to stop us." Adagio said still maintaining her smile. "He is useless without his magic so we will rob him of that and he will fall under our spell. He will make a great addition to us. A near limitless amount of magic and all we have to do is take it."
"I just hope this doesn't blow up in your face Dagi. He is something completely new."

I stood back stage with the girls my back against the wall and my case sitting next to my feet. "Alright girls we got this it's not hard to beat these chumps." Dash said as I rolled my eyes. "Just gotta play our best and they will let us move on." I let out a sigh turning my attention to Sunset. She looked nervous.
"You alright over there?" I asked as Sunset jumped looking to me. That same flash of fear rippled through her eyes before she gathered her wits.
"Yea I'm alright. Just nervous is all." Sunset looked to our friends worry evident on her face.
"Don't worry about it they got this. If not... Well I am here after all." I said with a shrug bumping my case with my foot. "I did bring these with me after all."
"That's not what has me nervous. It's the Dazzlings. You said that they are an emotional type." I nodded my head as Sunset looked to me that fear came back but it wasn't because of me. "What emotion do they feed off of?" She asked as I grit my teeth clenching my fists tight.
"Son of a bitch." I muttered turning my attention to the crowd to see the Dazzlings watching from the band section. "I didn't fucking think. This is a fuck up on my part and now I got to fix it. I need you to keep an eye for me here Sunset. I need to go check some shit." I said as I stepped over my case grabbing her hand tight. My hand glowed purple before transferring over to her hand. "This is your key. If they try to do anything use Solaris. He will help you." I released her hand running off towards the school.
"How could I forget something so fucking simple? All emotional types run off of a specific emotion. I just hope they don't feed off of rage. That would fuck everything up." I told myself as I continued to run making my way towards that classroom I first met them.
When I finally arrived at the room I flexed my magic as the aether became clear to me and that's when my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach. I could feel the rage in the air. It wasn't from them... It was from the school. The rage caused by an unfriendly competition. I turned my attention to the window running over to it to see all the magic being absorbed from the emotions. "Oh sweet merciful fuck..." I muttered in horror taking a step back from the window. "I was the worst fucking choice for this type of fight. My assessment was completely fucking wrong. They aren't just Emotional types. They are fucking Ambient Emotional types... This is so fucked." I began to pace around the room running my hand through my hair as I tried to come up with some sort of plan.
"Alright we need a plan but fucking what?" I asked pulling out my phone looking for Twilight's number. "Moon. Ideas are welcome." I said as I raised the phone to my ear only for something to come down hard against the back of my head. My vision blurred before a second hit put me on the ground. I groaned as a third hit came forcing my world into darkness.
-Meanwhile in Equestria-
Red sat at home holding Bright Heart close as she paced about with worry. Something was wrong she could feel it in her heart. She knew Jon was capable of handling anything that was thrown his way but this time... This time felt wrong. She let out a sigh as she stopped pacing. She turned her attention to the Castle of Friendship her eyes hardened as she took Bright to his room to get him clothed and ready. She grabbed the diaper bag making sure everything was prepared. She stepped out of the house locking up as she strolled Bright to the castle.
She arrived in a short amount of time. passing the guards with no trouble as she made her way to the throne room. When she finally got through the endless hallways and through the double doors she saw all of Twilight's friends waiting nervously as they stared at the portal. Red walked to them and they took notice of her. "Red? Darling why are you here?" Rarity asked as Red smiled to her.
"I had a bad feeling and I wanted to come and see what was going on." Red said as she looked to the portal as it began to ripple and flex before something flew through slamming into the opposite wall of the throne room. They all turned to object that flew through the portal only to see Jon struggling to get to his feet. He was battered and beaten and to their shock he wasn't healing at all. "JON!" Red yelled as she rushed over to his side. "Jon what happened to you?" She asked as he looked up his eyes hazy and unfocused.
"They took her... I fucked up." Jon slurred as he tried to push himself back up only to collide with the crystal floor once again.
"Fluttershy get me a first-aid kit we have to stop his bleeding. Someone send a message to Celestia Jon needs help. NOW!" Red ordered as everyone jumped to get to their tasks.
"Red we don't have Spike how are we gonna send a message?" Pinkie asked as Rainbow stepped forward.
"Write the message I will deliver it. I can get to Canterlot the fastest." Applejack got to writing up the message as Fluttershy returned with the first-aid kit.
"Fluttershy assist me." Red said as Fluttershy knelt next to Jon as they set into healing him.
After an hour of cleaning and suturing Jon's wounds they finally managed to stabilize him. "That's all we can do for now we have to wait for Princess Celestia." Red said wiping the sweat from her forehead. A bright flash of light erupted in the room catching everyone's attention as both Celestia and Luna appeared rushing over to Jon to look him over.
"What is the situation?" Celestia demanded. As Jon cracked an eye open looking up at Celestia groggily.
"Sirens... Ambient Emotional types... rage." Jon said weakly before trying to get up once again. "They took Moon." Jon said as he finally got to his feet taking a step towards the portal. "I have to help them." Jon took another step only to stumble being caught by Red.
"Jon you are barely conscious. You don't have your magic and you are not healing. You should rest." Red said as Jon looked to her. Both of his eyes clouded and milky. "Your disguise is also falling the magic is fading."
Jon looked down at his feet before his body glowed and with the sound of shattered glass his disguise fell completely revealing his scarred and torn body. He clenched his hands into fists as he looked up to Celestia.
"Magic. Give me magic. Just enough to heal myself." Jon ordered as Celestia shook her head sadly.
"Jon you know the dangers of transferring Alico-" Celestia was cut off as Jon seized her by the horn dragging her head down to his eye level.
"Fucking do it." Jon growled out as Celestia glared into his eyes.
"Jon." Red said worried. Before anymore objections could be made a golden glow poured out of Celestia's horn before collecting in Jon's chest where he let out a roar of pain. His insides felt like they were on fire. His wounds closed but his screaming did not cease as Celestia continued to pour magic into him. Jon released Celestia's horn and the magic ceased. Jon collapsed to the ground gasping for breath.
"Your magic is like being bathed in fire Celestia." Jon said as he got to his feet wiping the sweat off of his face. "Remind me to never do that again." He said looking to the portal. "I'm going back in. I have to finish this." Jon took a step forward only for a hand to seize his.
"You are not going in there alone. I am going and that is final." Red said as she looked to the other girls in the room. "Look after Bright. This won't take long." Red said as She pulled Jon forward jumping through the portal before anyone could stop her.

Chapter 11: Us Lose... What?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
Red and myself stepped out of the portal to see the sky swirling with magic. "Fuck looks like the final act has already started." I said as I turned my attention to the hill overlooking the school. "LETS GO!" I yelled running off towards the hill with Red on my heels.
"Jon a plan would be useful." Red said as she easily kept pace with me.
"These bitches run off of ambient emotion caused by their music. Our plan was to fight fire with fire and use magic to stop them. Now that they have Moon I have the next best idea." I said as we passed the stage. "Moon is conscious magic. And she is an emotional type. If we can supercharge her then we can get her out of her prison." I said as we finally reached the bottom of the hill. "You up for a solo?" I asked her as she cracked a smile.
"You know I love singing." Red said with that same cocky smile. "Give me the beginning and I can sing it." When we finally reached the top of the hill the girls were to busy trying their hardest to fight off the magical projections of the sirens. Vinyl on the other hand looked back at us cracking a smile as she hit a button as a compartment opened on the side of her car revealing a guitar and a microphone.
"Get ready for the hardest round of karaoke you have ever done." I told her as I strapped on the guitar plugging in. I listened closely to where in the song the girls were before slamming out a cord joining in as hard as I could. The girls looked back seeing me. "DON'T STOP! KEEP IT GOING! SHOVE THEM BACK!" I yelled as they all nodded going back to playing. We needed to shove them back even if it was just a little bit.
We played as hard as we could but we were the ones being shoved back by their music. Until finally we were shoved completely back our music stopping altogether. I grit my teeth getting back to my feet looking down to the stage.
"Is that all you got?" One of the Dazzlings asked as I stepped up to the mic.
"NOT IN YOUR FUCKING DREAMS!" I roared back as I tossed my phone to Vinyl. "Grab the song Red's Favorite and blast it." I said stepping back as Red took center stage. She ripped the mic from it's stand as I cracked a cocky smile. Standing next to the girls. "They don't stand a chance in hell of beating Red."
"What makes you say that Jon?" I chuckled.
"Red and Moon share a frequency when it comes to music. They both love Melodic Death Metal." I said as the music kicked off and Red began to sing. The girls staggered back from the brutal singing coming from Red. I just smiled staring down at the dazzlings who tried to fight back with their own music only for it to be stomped out by the raw power of Red's singing.
"My word I never expected this from such a sweet girl." I looked to Rarity chuckling.
"Well she is my wife. She has a bit of corruption running through her. And she owns it." I turned to Sunset holding my hand out as she placed my case into my waiting hand. "Now it is my turn to add to this." I drew Umbra and Solaris from the case as the music went into a lull. I seized a mic roaring into it. "HELL COMES FOR YOU!" I handed the mic back to Red as she went right back into it. I turned my sights on the dazzlings as one of their amulets began to glow a menacing purple. Arcs of power carved into the stage as I took off.
It didn't take me long to reach the stage which I leapt onto coming face to face with the dazzlings. The amulet continued to arc with power it just needed that last push before it would break. "STOP HIM YOU FOOLS!" Adagio ordered as Aria and Sonata charged me magic glowing on their hands. I cracked a smile raising Solaris Slashing through both of them. Their magic seized up as their glowing stopped. I reached out seizing Aria by the throat lifting her high before putting her straight to the stage cracking the floor in the process. I turned to see Sonata throw a punch only for me to meet her fist with my own. I heard the bones shatter from the impact. She screamed out in pain only to be silenced by a chop to the throat.
"So sick of listening to your voices." I said as i flicked my gaze onto Adagio raising Solaris towards her. "Let's see what you got when facing me head on." I threatened as Adagio charged a spell pulling from the dark purple amulet only for Solaris to embed itself into her chest her spell died out. She looked at me horrified before I began to walk forward my fist primed. I dashed forward seizing her outfit as I blasted the amulet as hard as I could. The amulet detonated and out flew Moon who impacted the crowd knocking them down. I kept a solid grip on Adagio as I wrapped my fingers around her crimson choker. "I'm going to break this and then I am going to break you." Adagio shook in my grip before she took a deep breath screaming out a battlecry directly into my face. I only heard it for a second before I heard a loud pop and only pain rang through my head. I still kept a solid hold on Adagio as she continued to scream only to be silenced when I drove my knuckles into her throat. She gagged as I ripped the choker free breaking it in my hand.
I only heard a ringing in my ears as I continued to glare down at Adagio drawing Umbra off my back about to drive it home when a blinding white light surrounded us forcing me to take a step back from it's intensity. When the light finally died down I saw Adagio smoking from the attack. I looked to Umbra to see the corruption had been removed once again. I turned back to Aria and Sonata to see them smoking as well. I turned to the crowd seeing Moon jump up to the stage before melding with me once again. I continued to look about only hearing silence before I raised my hands to my ears. I heard a second pop as the ambient sound returned to me once again. I looked to the crowd raising a hand flicking my wrist once as my disguise returned. "Well that was fun." I said hopping off of the stage as everyone moved out of my way. I gripped Umbra tighter as it corrupted once again returning to it's true glory. I looked up at the hill to see Red and the girls running down to meet me.
Red was the first to get to me as she wrapped me in a tight hug which I returned. "Good singing there Red. Couldn't have done it without you." I said as she only tightened her grip.
"Reckless dumbass." Red muttered as I chuckled looking to the other girls.
"My job is done here. I'm going home now." I said before a scream caught my attention. I turned back to see Aria charge me with a guitar. I could only sigh as I flicked my wrist summoning my spell pistol and planting a stun round into her chest. "To think I let them get the jump on me." I muttered dismissing my pistol as Aria impacted the ground.
I turned back to the girls shrugging. "You all have fun with your competition or whatever. I'm tired and it is Bright's bed time." I began walking away with Red by my side. Then I heard something I didn't expect. I heard the start of an applause which made me pause. I looked over my shoulder to see the applause turned into full on cheering. I looked about the crowd as they continued to cheer for us. I couldn't help but smile as Red wrapped an arm around me. I looked down at her as she smiled up at me. I chuckled shaking my head.
I raised a fist in the air which Red mimicked before we turned as one walking back to the portal. Maybe this place isn't so bad.

Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
-Six Months Later-
I was hanging out in Twilight's Castle casually reading a book in her library. It was a good read about mana dynamics and the practical uses of raw mana. I wanted to expand my magic repertoire to include more useful spells. I glanced over at the still active portal seeing it ripple slowly. I shrugged as I flicked my wrist a quill and parchment appearing before me before a few notes were scratched onto it's surface. "Maybe if I used a catalyst I could better control the raw mana... It's worth a try." I said to myself with a shrug as the quill quietly wrote out my thoughts. I found my eyes falling on the portal once again. "I wonder what they are all up to." I muttered snapping the book closed with a loud boom. I got to my feet dismissing the quill and parchment before walking over to the portal seeing it ripple before a body flew through it impacting the cold crystal floor. I flicked my wrist taking aim at the intruder.
"Stay right there and don't move." I ordered as the person remain completely still except for the shivering. Then six more bodies came through the portal impacting the first intruder. I kept my gun trained until I noticed their color schemes and clothes. "What the fuck are you all doing on this side of the portal?" I asked dismissing my pistol.
"H-Hey Jon. Do you know where the Princess is?" Sunset asked as I pinched the bridge of my nose sighing rather loudly.
"For fuck's sake." I muttered as I flicked my wrist summoning Moon to my side. "Send a link to Twilight and tell her to come to the library please." I said as Moon nodded closing her eyes before opening them.
"She is on her way." Moon looked to the girls as they finally got themselves untangled. "You all realize this can destabilize this side of the portal."
"Come on Moonie it's only for a day." Pinkie said as she skipped over to us. "Not that much damage can be caused in such a short amount of time." I slapped my forehead with my palm.
"God kill me now." I looked to the doors as Twilight's magical presence made itself known. "About time." Twilight threw open the doors running in only to stop when she noticed the girls.
"Girls? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked stepping forward before she took notice of someone new. "I'm sorry I don't think we have been introduced before. I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?" Twilight asked as I turned my attention to the new girl.
She looks just like Twilight before the whole alico- "I'm gonna guess you are Twilight Sparkle from the other side." I said pointing a thumb at the portal. She quietly nodded her head. "Alright then. So why are you girls over here anyway? Some crazy magic bullshit wrecking the place on your side?" I asked sliding my hands into my pockets.
"No no no. Nothing like that Jon. We just came to visit. I wanted to show the girls Equestria." I cocked an eyebrow before shrugging.
"I'll keep an eye on them Twilight you go back to your experiments. Oh and I looked into that little problem you were having with metal rune enchantments and their practical mana dynamic uses. I almost have it figured it out but I will pass you my notes that I have for now." I pulled my right hand out giving it a flick as a rolled up scroll appeared in front of her. "Tell me if my theory is sound when I get back." I motioned for everyone to follow me. "I might as well keep all of you out of trouble." I said Grabbing My blade holster off of the wall hook on the wall. I slipped it on before summoning both of my blades sliding them home.
As soon as we stepped out of the castle I saw a rampaging hydra going through the town with the guard fighting with it. The girls behind me cowered slightly which I only rolled my eyes stepping forward. "OI SCALES!" I boomed as the hydra looked to me with all five of it's heads before it visibly recoiled at the sight of me. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT COMING BACK TO MY FUCKING TOWN!? GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I GIVE YOU A NEW SET OF HEADS!" The hydra let out a shriek before taking off into the Everfree. "That fucking lizard will never learn." I turned back to the girls as they looked at me in shock. "That was Scales. Him and me had a scuffle a while back when he went on a rampage through Ponyville. He listens to me... Sometimes. Anyway let's continue. I have to stop at home and see Red and Bright."
I looked over my shoulder seeing them collect themselves before catching up with me. "So Jon if you don't mind us asking... What is it you do over here?" I shrugged my shoulders at Rare's question.
"I protect the country from everything that can threaten it. I can show you my workshop when we get to my house." I saw the house coming up as saw Red on the swing with Bright on her lap. I smiled at the sight jogging over as soon as she caught sight of me. She stood off the swing as we embraced in a soft hug. "Morning Red. How has Bright been?" I asked as Red smiled placing a gentle kiss on my cheek.
"He has been sleeping quietly the entire time. Did you finish that magical problem Twilight has been having?" I rolled my eyes letting out an annoyed sigh.
"I would have but apparently these girls decided to come through the portal for a visit." I said jerking a thumb behind me to show the girls. "They wanted to see what Equestria was like. I think they just wanted to see what I do over here to be honest." Red looked past me at the girls before smiling and giving them a small wave.
"Hope you girls aren't squeamish around blood and bodies." Red said as the girls paled. "My sweet loving husband was holding back the entire time over there so if you want to see what he really does I hope you aren't afraid of blood." I gave a light chuckle before kissing Red on the forehead.
"I'm off to show them the room. And after that depending on the news I will be going on patrol." Red nodded as I waved the girls to the house. "Make yourselves at home." I opened the front door leaving it open as the girls followed behind me. right to the basement. "A few rules about my workshop. Touch nothing and don't break anything. Everything is exactly where it needs to be and could be dangerous if disturbed. So please don't make my shop blow up." I turned away from the confused girls walking down the stairs only to be stopped by a huge black metal door that glowed a menacing purple. I flicked my hand as a handle appeared in the magic before I gripped it tight turning it left then right.
A loud boom echoed on the other side of the door before I pushed it open casually revealing another set of stairs and a large cavernous room. I clapped my hands once before flexing my magic as the entire room lit up. "Welcome ladies. To The Workshop." Hundreds of desks and blackboards were scattered about the room each with their own project on them and an entire wall was dedicated to a large map of the world. The entire map was covered in small flags each color coded. "I have to check up on my map and tinker a little on a personal project of mine. So please follow me." I began walking down the steps only hearing shock and aw coming from behind me.
"Who built this?" I heard Sunset ask as I chuckled.
"I built it. Took me a few weeks to get it to the right size. I think I still have a few tonnes of rock just sitting in my storage locker somewhere." I withdrew Umbra and Solaris off my back before the disappeared in a flash of purple.
"You mean to tell me you mined all of this by yourself with no heavy machinery?" AJ asked as I nodded my head.
"Magic does this in a few weeks when machinery would take a few years. Mind the tape." I said walking around a section squared off with tape on the floor. I heard a rumble come from the ceiling which I turned around throwing my magic to the ceiling stopping it. I looked down at the tape seeing RD's foot sitting in the square. "That small square is what functions as the supports for this giant room. Please don't step on them." RD removed her foot as I felt the weight on my magic leave. "I haven't perfected the runic gravity stabilizer just yet. Hence the tape. Avoid them at all costs." I said my anger getting to me.
"Sorry. Geeze. It almost like I would destroy the entire town if I did." I walked right up to RD lifting her off the ground by her shirt.
"You would. Each one is positioned in the precise point where this ineffective system will work. If one fails the weight will begin to collapse the other supports thus putting the entire town of Ponyville underground. That could kill everyone. When I say something in this room you listen are we clear?" I demanded as RD nodded before I released her. "Follow me to the map." When we reached the map I began walking over to the legend just under it looking it over carefully as the numbers moved about constantly.
"So what is this map for?" I heard Twi' ask.
"This map is my strategic map of the world. But it also allows me to keep an eye on plagues and other dangers." I tapped a few runes as the entire map lit up with a magic array showing several colors across it's face. "Right now there is a bit of heat between Equestria and the Minotaur Empire. And they have been getting a little to close to our borders as of late. They will probably issue war against us but they will be easy to put down. They probably see us as weak due to the war two years back against The Griffons." I said looking over the map with a critical eye.
"What about that Yellow spot over Apploosa" Fluttershy asked as I looked at it sighing.
"That was a small plague that popped up affecting their apple trees and most of their food supply. We quarantined the entire town to keep the plague localized and are making good time on curing the trees and soon enough all will be taken care of. The Buffalo are also helping since this was a plague that affected their crops in the past." I shrugged looking away from the town looking more closely at the Everfree seeing it turn red suddenly. I reached up tapping the map square with my magic as all the info was brought to my panel.
"Is something wrong?" Sunset asked as I slammed my fist against the pedestal. All the girls let out a yelp startled as I turned away from the map making my way to the stairs.
"All of you are going through the portal right now." I ordered as Umbra appeared in my hand. "I have work to do in the Everfree."
"Just what the hell is going on that we need to leave right now?" RD asked as the other girls nodded their heads.
"Because The Mino snuck into Equestria and are on their way here. A small fighting force is to slaughter the entire population of Ponyville while I am 'Away'." I said making quotations with my fingers. "According to the rest of the world I am currently in Canterlot helping Celestia with a magical mishap at her school." I pointed to all of them. "YOU ARE ALL LEAVING NOW!" I yelled as the flinched. as I continued up the stairs seeing Red at the top of them. "Can you escort the girls back to the Castle of Friendship while I go deal with a little problem?" I asked as Red smiled to me.
"Of course Jon. Come back safe and sound. Ok?" I gave her a kiss on the lip before running off through the streets.
I flexed my magic surrounding Ponyville in a magical shield before activating the relay on the light poles running through Ponyville activating a siren. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran home as fast as possible locking their doors and windows. I made a B-Line for the castle kicking the doors open as I made my way to the map. When I got there I saw the girls all sitting it their thrones more than a little annoyed with me.
"Come on Jon you know not to use the system to make us just appear here." Rainbow said as I closed her mouth with a strip of magic.
"The minotaurs are moving in from the Everfree. I will be engaging them just outside of the forest while I need all of you to keep the populace in their homes and out of sight. Twilight send Celestia a message asking for the use of Tier Three magic. From the number I saw I might need it." I saw the girls look a little uncertain before nodding. I saw Spike send the message as I moved over to the window looking out at the forest. It only took a few minutes before a response came through.
"Princess Celestia has granted you access up to Tier Four spells. Just don't destroy the forest." Twilight said as I nodded my head raising my open hand as a bracelet appeared in my hand. I slid it on only to hear the doors open once again.
"I don't see why we have to go back." I heard RD say as I looked to the door to see the outsiders standing there before they noticed the other girls from this side.
"Twilight. Send them through the portal. They are not gonna want to watch this." I said flicking my wrist as my armor snaked across my body encasing my entirely. I walked past the girls as Umbra revved once before I snapped my fingers appearing outside of the shield. "Of course this had to happen today." I said tightening my grip on Umbra waiting for my enemy to appear.
-Inside the Castle of Friendship.-
"I still don't see why we have to leave." RD muttered annoyed.
"It very simple RD. Jon is not going to hold back against these minotaurs. He is going to uphold his duty as The Fist of Equestria. Most people don't want to watch the indiscriminate slaughter of a few hundred lives." I said as the outworlders looked to me. "You have seen first hand what Jon does when holding back. What do you think he is like when he is not limiting the loss of life?" I asked as I heard the other girls sigh.
"Trust what Red is saying girls. Jon cares not for any kind of life if it means he can protect what he has here." Twilight said looking out the window as Jon stood at the ready. "There is another reason for the alarm system that is in place around Ponyville. He doesn't want the people he knows to witness what he does for them. The people would turn on him in a heartbeat if they watched him work." Twilight explained never taking her eyes off of Jon.
"It can't be that bad." PP said with a casual wave of her hand.
"They are right girls." Sunset spoke up to their shock. "I fought Jon... That look in his eyes as we fought was terrifying. He looked as if he wasn't even fighting me. He was just toying with me."
"That's because he was." Twilight said before sighing. "In Jon's eyes... You weren't even worth his time." Those words filled Sunset with dread. "Jon get's his kicks from a good fight and from what I heard from him. He has more fun Fighting Brass Knuckle. He barely mentioned the fight with you and that spoke volumes about his view on it."
"Y-You mean?" Sunset asked as the original girls nodded their heads.
"If he went toe to toe with you only using Umbra and the bare minimum of his magical prowess then you weren't a challenge." I said seeing the hurt on Sunset's face. "That's just how my husband is. But that's not a bad thing. You are one of the few that Jon has fought and hasn't flat out killed. These minotaurs on the other hand... You don't want to watch. It will just remind you of your fight and really see what Jon could have done." I told her setting a hand on her shoulder.
"It's starting." Twilight said as the girls moved to the window to watch only to gape in horror at the corpses that already littered the field. "I should stop you but some need to witness what Jon puts himself through just so we can live peaceful lives." Twilight's eyes never left the fight as Jon slammed his fist through the chest of a Minotaur before throwing him into a line that charged him.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." RD said as another body was torn to shreds with Umbra.
"This is our protector... We have no words for what he goes through." Twilight said with a sad frown. " A man who embraces the mantle of protector. Even if it means people will fear him and label him what he sees himself as." Twilight turned away from the table looking to the outworlders. "You all should go back through the portal. Forget about Jon and his duty to our world. It will help you in the long run." There was a loud thud as Twilight looked back outside the window to see nothing but a red splat against the shield's surface. That's when they heard the laughing. The outworlders looked down to see Jon throw his sword into the chest of a minotaur before charging at a group of them with nothing but his bare hands tearing into them with glee. They all turned away a few of them gagging from the sight.
They all were silent as the laughing and screaming continued. It wasn't long until silence reigned once again and a flash of dark purple revealed Jon once again still wearing his armor with not a speck of blood on him. He removed his helmet revealing his nightmare state. "Minotaur forces eliminated. Send a message to Celestia for a clean up crew. Rainbow. Pinkie. Give the all clear but remain indoors signal. When the clean up is done give the full clear." Jon said as his eyes flicked to the outworlders. "This is why I said you needed to go. Now you see what I like to keep out of the public eye." Jon turned on his heel making his way out of the room. "I am borrowing a shower... I will give my report when I return." The throne door flew open with a flick of the wrist and thundered closed behind him.
After my shower I made my way back towards the throne room to give my full report on the attack. "I really wish those girls didn't have to see that spectacle." I said to myself only to hear a second set of foot steps. I glanced over to see Moon walking beside me.
"I'm here for you Jon and so are the others. You know that you don't have to be alone in this endeavor." I waved her off.
"I don't need to talk about it. I know what I am Moon or have you already forgotten that we have both embraced this. We wear this mantle of blood through all the pain with smiles. We don't deny what we are on the field of battle. Outside of it we try to be as normal as possible." I said calmly only for her to nod her head. "We don't apologize for it we just wish for people to not see it."
"I know Jon... I just wish we didn't have to do this." Moon said only for me to let out a sigh of grief.
"So do I Moon." I reached my destination throwing the doors open before closing them behind me with a shove of magic. I still saw the outworlders and the girls sighing once again. "I am ready to give my report." I said putting my hands behind my back.
"Princess Celestia shall be arriving shortly. She is not happy from what I can tell." Princess Twilight said only for me to shrug. We all waited until twin flashes of light lit up the room one a cobalt blue the other a golden yellow. Before us all stood Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The girls all bowed as I continued standing.
"Rise girls you know you don't have to do that when it is just us." Celestia said light heartily before turning her attention to me. "Jon... Would you kindly tell me why the girls from the other side of the portal were here to witness what you did against the Minotaurs." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Simple. I told them to leave they didn't listen. I had attackers to repel. Didn't really have the time to force them after I left them in the care of Princess Twilight." I said nonchalantly. "Are you ready for my report on the attack or not?" I asked only to catch the back of Celestia's hand across my face which shattered a section of my disguise on my face. I slowly moved my jaw before turning my head back to face Celestia.
"The damage you caused these girls is catastrophic to their psyches." Celestia said as I only rolled my eyes fixing my disguise. "Do you realize what that can do to someone so young?" Celestia was definitely pissed off with me.
"I do. I also know that your student and her friends recovered in due time. I didn't kill the minotaurs because I just happened to feel like it. I killed them because they would have done the same to everyone in Ponyville. I am not sorry. I did my job. And I will do it again." Celestia let out a sigh.
"Jon... Why are you so difficult? These girls can't even look at you the same way. Doesn't that bother you?" Luna asked as I flicked my eyes to her.
"Yes it does. Will I let it affect my work or how I deal with future threats? No. I care not if they hate me or are afraid of me. They aren't going to be staying in this world." I looked to the outworlders as they all adverted their eyes away from me. "Wipe their minds of this event and send them home if you want. It means little to me if seven more people hate me. Are you finally ready for my report?" I asked getting annoyed.
"Jon. Why can't you see it from their perspe-" My anger finally hit it's boiling point as I became corrupted seizing Celestia in my magical grip yanking her into my awaiting hand. I wrapped my hand tightly around her throat.
"STOP ASKING HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS! STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD!" I roared into her face as I brought her to her knees. "DO YOU THINK I DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THEM SEEING THAT I AM NOTHING MORE THAN A MURDERING PSYCHOPATH!?" Celestia coughed and gagged in my grip as I wrapped my second hand just so I could wring her neck like a dish towel. "I FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR THEM HAVING TO WITNESS WHAT I DO EVERY FUCKING DAY JUST SO THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT DON'T HAVE TO WORRY! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FOR THINKING I DON'T CARE! FUCK EVERYTHING YOU HOLD NEAR AND DEAR FOR THINKING I'M NOT HURT BY THIS!" I saw Celestia's eyes begin to roll into the back of her head before I finally released her. "I will give my report later." I said taking a deep breath letting it out slowly as the corruption rescinded.
I turned on my heel making for the doors. I threw a punch shattering the doors under the force as I continued walking. My anger wasn't cooling like I wanted it to. "They constantly want me to express humility to everybody. Don't they realize that Humility makes me second guess in a fight. That is the difference between absolute victory and crushing defeat." I told myself as I made my way towards my destination. Once there I threw open the doors to the library picking up a random book off the shelf using my magic. I sat down on a couch opening the book to the first page. "Reading will help me calm down." I said in a low whisper as I slowly relaxed losing myself in the book.
Darkness Deals With... What?
Darkness Deals With... What?
By: Major Frostwing
"Right this way The Royal will see you now." The royal adviser said showing me to the throne room. "Be warned though they are in a very sour mood so try to keep everything short and to the point." I gave the female a puzzled look as she only gave me a sheepish smile.
"Now what could possibly upset out princess so?" I asked the adviser as they only began to sweat before motioning to the doors.
"Good luck." And before I could say another word she took off. I turned to the doors before clearing my throat opening them with a flourish.
"My dear Pri-" I was silenced by a groan. Not even a dignified groan. It was a groan of complete contempt toward what caused the person to groan in the first place. I looked up to see the last person I wanted to see. Sitting on the throne was none other than Jon The Fist of Equestria.
"Get on with it already so I can say no and then throw you out." Jon said before examining his nails with a look of boredom.
"What have you done to the Princesses? They would never allow someone such as you to take over day court. Explain yourself!" I demanded as Jon only snapped his fingers.
"Hey sarge mind passing the letter to him? I don't want to explain it again." Jon said as he continued to examine his nails.
"Of course sir." A guard said before magicking a rolled up letter to me. I snatched the letter opening it only to be shocked by what I read.
"Dear Jon,
The other Princesses and myself are going on a day trip through the portal. Since no one except you has the same amount of pull as us we ask you to kindly sit in for us at day court and night court as well. We appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia Raiser of the Sun and Diarch of Equestria."
"THIS IS LUDICROUS!" I yelled out throwing the letter down to my feet.
"That's what I said." Jon muttered before leaning back in the throne. "So what is your problem? I ain't got all day." Jon said finally turning his attention away from his nails to stare at the ceiling.
"NO I WILL NOT DEAL WITH THIS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?" I roared out stamping my foot in rage. Jon for his part only raised an eyebrow at me.
"No. Do I care? No not really." He said before looking to his guards. "Escort him out guys. He is only going to be a disturbance." Jon said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
"THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! UNHAND ME!" I yelled out as I was dragged out of the throne room. "YOU WILL HEAR FROM MY LAWYER!" I roared out as the doors slammed shut.
Shortly after that annoyance was thrown out I saw my guards for the day return. "Hey guys what is for lunch?" I asked as I shifted in the throne so my legs were hanging off the arm. "Cuz I am starving." I said leaning back over the opposite arm of the throne.
"Sir it is only Eight in the morning." The guard to my right said calmly as I let out a groan.
"Seriously how the FUCK does Celestia do this shit?" I asked no one in particular.
"With a very comfy pillow to sit on." The guard to my left answered. I paused as I really thought about it before shrugging.
"Think you guys could go get me a pillow? This chair is harder than a witches tit in a brass brazier." The guard to my right saluted before going to fetch my pillow.
"Sir another petitioner is here." My assistant for the day said as she cracked the door open.
"Cool... Send them in or whatever..." I was bored. And kinda pissed off that this got thrown on me out of nowhere. I will just have to plan my revenge on Celestia and Luna when the time comes.
"-OR THE LAST TIME THAT LAND IS MINE!" I heard a yell come from outside the door before getting steadily louder.
"AND I TOLD YOU ALREADY THAT LAND IS MINE!" Another voice yelled back as I sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose. The door to the throne room opened allowing four people to enter the throne room Two of them were arguing and the other two looked like lawyers who just wanted this to end.
"Alright what is going o-" I began before being so rudely cut off.
"SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS MY FAMILY HAS OWNED THAT LAND FOR GENERATIONS!"
"I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE THE DEED TO THAT LAND WITH ME RIGHT NOW!"
"AN OBVIOUS FAKE YOU FILTHY LIAR!"
"WHY YO-" I silenced the argument with a shot from my spell pistol.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BABBLING LITTLE COCK SOCKS!" I roared out catching everyone's attention. "YOU!" I pointed at the first lawyer who shrank under my glare. "EXPLAIN! NOW!"
"Y-You see sir. These two gentlemen are having a dispute over some land."
"WHICH IS RIGHTFULLY MI-" I silenced them once again by shooting the little shit in the chest with a knockout spell.
"Continue." I ordered. The lawyer cleared his throat adjusting his tie nervously.
"It seems that the deeds were from the same realtor and were purchased the same day. They are both claiming ownership of the land." I nodded my head thinking it over.
"So what you are telling me is that someone a stupid long time ago sold the same bit of land to two different people. Am I correct?" I asked as I spun my spell pistol on my finger.
"Y-Yes sir." I hummed in thought tapping the side of my head with the spell pistol before shrugging.
"Has either of these two idiots even been to the plot of land in question?" I asked as the lawyer looked to the other lawyer who only shrugged. "Idiots." I muttered looking the conscious arguer. "OI! Have you ever seen this plot of land?" I asked as he began to sweat under my gaze.
"Um... No." I gave him a flat look before shooting him with a knockout spell. I shot the other with a recovery spell waking him up.
"What the hell was th-" He began to ask as I whistled.
"Have you seen the plot of land in question?" I asked keeping the pistol trained on him. "No lying." I threatened as he shuffled a bit.
"N-No sir..." I couldn't restrain my groan before shooting him with another knockout spell.
"Alright you two. These idiots got fucking scammed YEARS ago." I pointed out. "I am voiding both of the deeds. There will be no compensation. Neither wins and neither loses." I shot the downed arguers with recovery spells. "NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GOD DAMN THRONE ROOM!" I barked as they all scrambled out of the room. I let out a sigh dismissing my pistol with a casual flick of my wrist.
"Nicely done sir." The guard to my left said as I shrugged. "The princess would have let them argue for a little bit longer before stopping them." I let out a chuckle just as my other guard returned with a pillow.
"Oh thank fuck." I said as I seized the pillow before sitting down on it. "That is so much better."
