“Can I interest you in some power?” I ask the pony that summoned me, of course it’s a stupid thing to ask as they wouldn’t have summoned me for anything else.

“I can give you the power to do what it is you want, weather good, evil, or nothing. That’s for you to decide. " I continue, it seems the poor creature before me doesn’t know what I am. Strange, but it give some credit to my question now.

“All I ask for is a soul, doesn’t have to be your soul though it’s easier when it is. After all the soul will be mine until your debt is paid” A quiet one, this one. The small creature doesn’t seem to know what to do.

Small, purple, scaley. Looks like a lizard, baby dragon? I’ve seen the Prince whenever he’s hatched from death enough times to recognize one but she usually has wings.

“T-twilight...” It... Rather he, speaks up. Strange would’ve pegged him for a she. No matter.

“Twilight? Is that your name or the name you wish to bring into servitude?” I ask, already getting the AI programs to start recording my contract.

I’m not really a demon, but I am older than most and watched my universe crumble. So if I’m anywhere else I’m a demon, that’s how it works right? That’s how it was explained to me at least.

“N-NO!” he screeches, damn he has a set of lungs. “N-no... I w-want to save her... Ne-ed to save h-her!” He stutters out. Poor kid, probably meant to summon a familiar or something.

“So you need power?” I say, rewording my contract to allow some loopholes for the poor kid. I’m not evil, I just need an army.

“Y-yes...” He replies, albeit weakly. Damn it, he’s really pulling at my heartstrings here.

“I can give you that power, but like I said I need something in return.” I say, bringing a piece of paper over to me using some magic. What? Can’t a guy have magic and tech? Get all the advantage you can so that YOU’RE the stronger than the strong, then the other way around I say. Anyways back to my current employer.

“You said you wanted a soul... Right?” He asks, he seems to be stealing himself for something, probably to offer himself as a sacrifice.

“Of course, I’m a mercenary, assassin, black operator, dream demon, deamon demon, familiar, and general badass anarchist. All but one of those requires some kind of return on my investment. In this case, I was summoned as a demon. Sadly not a dream one. So a soul is the best kind of currency in this case” I say, taking a false breath after my tirade. I needed to really expel all that for him, I could tell he didn’t know what I was.

“So in exchange for a soul... You’ll give me power?” He asks, he seems rather... Dimwitted... Or careful. I like him if he’s careful, makes a better vessel for my power.

“Hmmm, not necessarily. You could just hier me to save this “Twilight” of yours. Go on a rampage and save her like a damsel in distress. Or, I can bring you to the power to defeat this being yourself. I would assume being as this Twilight is captured.” I reply, already knowing how he’ll react and what I’ll need to do. He’s a good kid and I’d rather not see him corrupted by my power.

“Please... Just give me the power I need to get Twilight back!” He begs. Well he asked for it.

“Well then, sign here and here and then take this syringe and put a drop of blood here” I list off, rushing him through itso that he doesn’t read the fine print. “And done, I’ll keep this plane safe while you go get your power”

“W-wait what?!” He asks suddenly as I snap my fingers, he disappears in a flash of electricity and I’m allowed to spread my influence on his world. Hmmm, Yes I can keep this fight still for now. Though he’d best hurry, illusions don’t last all that long.

The bug queen has a bunch of ponies captured just outside the gates of the castle I was summoned in, the mountain side way above is cover in black spots that I can only assume are more of the bug ponies. Changelings, the elements of harmony, the Princesses. Been a while since I've been summoned to an equestria.

Chrysalis is frozen in a gloating stance, completely unaware that she lives in her own mind now. Hives are especially hard for me, but considering what is 'hard', it isn't too challenging to keep her down. The hive does most of the work once you get past its natural defence anyways.

I take out my viewing device to check on him, and a few others. “I said I’d bring him to his power, just never said I’d give it to him. This way he won’t need to call me again at least.” I look around again “God damn I did a good job on this one.”

I look back down, he's yelling. Probably something along the lines of betrayal- Oh he's crying now. That's depression right? Or acceptance... I don't remember how grieving works and I was never an expert at it. Hmm... There's the first danger now, but he's distracted, better bring in another disciple of mine to get him on his feet. I hope he's ready for what is in store for him now.

Through the viewing port lies the new world, filled with adventure and the promise of power.

Quick little thing written in about half an hour. It started as a collection of stories idea and turned into a "Let's send spike on an adventure" Story.

As with me and my other stories don't expect updates anytime soon. But do comment on where you want Spike to show up. And ratings are appreciated if you don't feel like commenting.
