Chapter 1 DemonSlayers for Hire

In San Diego a Comic convection was the main thing that was going on in the area. People were walking in and out of the building, while others were outside posing to the camera and talking with other people that came wearing their own costume.

Inside the building we lead to our two main characters that will have a trip of a life time.

On the right we have Troy Caliber the knuckle head of the two, he's the kind of guy that fights first and talks later when he's done beating you down after, he like's to joke around, making fun of his opponents to rile them up.

Troy likes to have fun and do things that lead him and neo in trouble or in a predicament they both have to find their way out. Troy is 19 years old, his height being 6.2 feet tall, born in Canada, he's cosplaying as young Dante in the rebooted "Devil May Cry" game.

He has the jacket, black jeans, black boots, his hair was always black but trimmed it down making him look like Dante. He only has the clothes and not the sword Dante has in the game not even the two pistols or the ruby red necklace, he couldn't find any one selling them.

On the left we have Neo Blake the smart and all around cool guy of the two even though he says he's more like the reasonable and Smart one but troy says he's more cool than reasonable so he took that title with no questions asked.

Neo is the serious type, always the one to find a way to end their fights that troy gets them in, when you think I mean in a peaceful way I mean finding the fastest way to take their enemies down. He likes to joke around with troy at times, sometimes it's him that gets them into fights but only when they piss him off.

Neo is one year older than troy making him 20, his height 6.3 being taller than troy, Born in New York, he's cosplaying as Nero in "Devil May Cry 4" he wears Nero's long navy blue and red coat, he ripped off the order of swords that was sewn to the coat hating them from the game, a red zip up vest under the coat, and a navy blue under shirt under the vest, dark blue pants with brown boots. On his left hand he wears a rose ring on his right finger, his hair was black before but dyed it white. He has Nero's weapons "Red Queen" and "Blue Rose" the sword on his back and on his waist the gun. Neo's right arm was cut off due to an accident that happened to him a year back.

The two were walking while looking around to find anything they could do, neo was looking while troy was checking out the chicks that came wearing some revealing~ costumes.

Neo was still looking and said "Find anything on your end?" he asked troy that didn't respond.

He turned his head towards troy and rolled his eyes to see him staring at the cosplaying woman. Neo shook Troy's shoulder getting him to blink his eyes and look at neo "You know staring at them won't do anything right" neo said.

Troy did a fake gasp of shock and said "What? I wasn't staring"

Neo looked at troy not believe him one bit. Troy sighed "Ok I was staring, but come on look at them. This should be illegal for all men that came here!"

Neo looked where troy was looking and couldn't lie, they did look good but staring was something he's not the type to do, just staring at a women just because they were wearing something sexy wasn't right to him.

Neo looked back at troy that had a puppy dog look on his face, neo rolled his eyes "Alright what their wearing would get some to stare.

Troy's face changed to a smile "But that doesn't mean you should do the same" neo said

Troy grumbled "Oh come on man, give me a break"

"I'll give you a break if you could find something we could do. We've been walking around almost an hour and only looked, we didn't even buy anything yet" neo said. Troy nodded and actually looked around.

Troy looked around to find anything they could check out and he did. Not that far away there was a stand that had some neat stuff, he could see they were equipment from different games, and a man standing behind it cosplaying as the merchant from resident evil.

He tapped neo on the and pointed towards the stand "Hey dude, let's go over there and see what's he's selling" troy chuckled at his joke. Neo looked were troy was pointing, seeing the stand and the man behind it.

Neo facepalmed getting the joke but smiled anyways. They both head to the stand to see what they could buy.

When they got their they were greeted by the man working at the stand, his voice sounding just like the merchant from the game that the two found interesting "Hello stranger, mind looking at my wears?"

Troy grinned and said "Sure, that's the reason why we came here. Nice voice by the way"

The merchant nodded at Troy's compliment "Thank you. Your costumes look really good"

"Thanks same as yours" troy said back. While the two were talking, neo was already looking around the stand to see if there was anything worth buying and he did. What he found made his eyes widen just a bit, it was a arm but not just any arm, it was the arm Nero has in the game. What surprised him was not only because the devil bringer looked just like the one in the game, it looked somewhat real and was like one of those robot arms people use for lost limbs.

Neo looked up at the merchant and asked "Sir, Is this?"

The merchant looked where neo was near, neo could see a smile under the mans mask "Ah, I see you found one of my newest additions. That their is the devil bringer Nero uses in the game, and before you ask, yes it can be attached to a persons right arm"

Neo's yes widen with troy doing the same. Troy looked at the demonic arm "Wait. So your telling me, that if we buys this. Neo can put the thing on just like Nero in the game?!"

The merchant nodded and looked back at neo "tell me, do you wish to buy it. I can drop the price to 34 dollars for a man such as yourself"

Neo stared at the devil bringer, then looked at his right side were his right arm was. He looked at the empty space for a little, than looked back at the merchant with a powerful look "Yes. I'll take it"

The Merchant grabbed the arm while neo pulled his wallet out of his left pocket he gave the man the money and he gave neo the arm. Neo thanked him and looked at the arm, he placed the arm under his shoulder and pulled back his right coat sleeve.

He grabbed the arm and placed it on his right numb, when he did he felt something jamming into his numb. He hunched over the pain was something neo never felt before, it was like someone was stabbing him with needles. Neo took the pain not wanting to seem weak.

Troy noticed the way neo flinched and said "your okay man?" worried that his friend might have gotten himself hurt.

When the stabbing feeling stopped neo breathed out and stood back up, neo said "Yeah. I'm good, It hurt like a bitch but I felt worse" what neo said made the two laugh because that was true.

Neo looked at his new arm and to his surprise he could move it, it felt different from his old arm but he could get use to it. It felt so real but neo didn't mind, he was just happy to have a arm. When he closed his fist the arm reacted and glowed blue just like in the game, This just pretty much made neo 30% cooler than before.

Troy saw the arm glow and was amazed by it "Damn! Know that is fucking cool"

The merchant turned his head over to troy and said "How about you. Did you find something you want?"

Troy looked at the stand again to find something maybe for his getup. That's when he saw a necklace with a red ruby attached to it, when he saw it he knew it was Dante's necklace from the game.

He pointed towards the necklace and said "How much is for the necklace"

The merchant picked up the necklace and said "The necklace cost 150 Dollars-"

Troy stopped him there, shocked to find the necklace to cost so much "woah, woah , woah. Hold on man. I don't have that kind of money"

The merchant chuckled, The two looked at him in confusion. The merchant stopped laughing and said "I new you couldn't have that much Money, let me finish Stanger. The necklace cost 150 dollars but I could throw in the sword and pistols for you and drop the price down to 90 dollars seeing you don't have Dante's sword and guns on you"

Troy nodded so fast that neo had to stop his head himself, he thanked neo and turned to the merchant and smiled "Deal" troy already pulling his wallet out.

The merchant turned around and opened a chess he had behind him. Pulling out rebellion and the two pistols ebony & Ivory, he placed the two items on his stand and when troy saw them his mouth started to drool, he had to wipe his mouth to clean his spit.

Troy gave his money to the merchant and grabbed his sword and guns, necklace and cradled them like they were his own children. Neo saw this and chuckled at his friends childness.

The Merchant gave troy a holster for his guns and sword that came with the two. He placed the necklace around hi neck, and strapped his weapons on himself after.

Troy said "This is the best day of my life. Thanks, your the best!"

Neo did the same and thanked him also "Thank you for the new arm and helping use finish our costumes"

The Merchant waved his arm "No need, I'm only doing what I came here to do. May I ask you both a question.

The two nodded. The merchant asked a question "Do you two might know of a tv show called My little pony?"

Neo and Troy looked at each other, neo shook his head and Troy shrugging. Troy was the one to answer back "Sorry dude never heard of it, why do you ask?"

The merchant said "Oh, no reason this just means this will be even more interesting for the both of you"

Troy was going to say something but what the merchant said confused the two demon slayers "Wait, what?"

And just like that a light glowed over the two and their bodies where wisped away to who knows Where. The Merchant chuckled "Hope those two have fun, the equestria I sent them to might make things harder for them" he then pulled some stuff out of his chest and waited for the next person to come to his stand.

In the distant area far off near the small town of ponyville. Inside whitetail forest, Two white lights glowed, the lights died and two people where laying on the ground dazed and confused with a small headache that came with.

Neo was the first to get himself up, shaking his head so the dizziness could fade away. When it did the headache was gone also.

Neo rubbed his head a little and said "God dammit, what the hell just happened"

Troy got up next feeling the same and not liking how things went "Shit my head hurts" he shook his head, the daze fading away and his headache doing the same.

Neo heard troy but he sounded different, he turned to see if he was alright but stopped when he saw someone else.

Instead of troy being next to him, It was a person that looked just like Dante. He new it was troy because how he spoke so he said "Troy? Is that you?"

Troy was confused by his friends question but found his voice sounding different "Yeah why do you as-" he stopped when he got a look at neo that looked just like Nero from the game.

Troy was the first to speak "Dude. Is that you?

Neo said "Yeah, its me" that when he notice his own voice and was shocked by it, troy doing the same.

Troy calmed down and looked at himself, he touched his coat and it felt genuine, he felt stronger than before, he was always tuff but what he was feeling was power and lots of it. "Alright I may be spit balling here, but I think we just transformed into the people we cosplayed as dude" troy said finding out how this all happen.

Neo looked at himself, just like Troy's cloths his were real, he pulled his left arm around his back and touched his fake sword. He could feel the cold steel of metal identifying that he didn't just change. Everything that went with him changed also.

He grabbed red queen off his back and slammed the sword onto the ground, the swords cutting through. The sound it made caught Troy's attention, neo said "Hey troy, check this out"

Just like in the game Neo turned the handle of the sword and when he did the sword reacted and started to heat up like an engine. Troy's eyes widen and Neo had a grin on his face even though he doesn't know what was going on, freaking out would be the last thing in his mind.

Troy got excited real fast forgetting about everything and wanting to know how neo did that. Troy said "Holy shit, how you dat?!!"

Neo pulled red queen out of the ground looking at the blade closely he could feel the heat coming from the blade. He said "It seems like we didn't just turn into Dante and Nero from the games, we also gain their powers and abilities. Maybe even all of their weapons" When neo said that Troy was shaking in excitement and started to find out himself.

Troy though for a bit and got an idea that may work. He focused and Thought about the weapon he wanted and his first pick was rebellion. Just like in the game Troy's back glowed in the shape of a sword with wings and then on his back rebellion appeared and shot out with flare.

Troy looked at his back and grabbed his sword, The sword glowed in the moon light, he swung the sword just a bit. The sword made a Few sounds when swung just like in the game. He moved back and did the a move Dante did in the game. He slashed a few time then spun around cutting the air and finishing it off with a final swing completing the combo with no problems at all.

Troy found this to be something he should think on and told neo "Sweet. I think we can also do their moves and combos just like in the game easily!"

Neo was looking at blue rose that look like the real thing. He had the gun on his right hand, he pointed the gun at a tree and fired "Bang" The bullet tore through the tree like it was nothing, he looked at the gun again and pointed at another tree this time he focus, when he did his devil bringer glowed and the gun was covered in blue aura when he fired "Bang" the bullet didn't just destroy the tree it went through the trees behind it destroying those to.

Neo's eyes widen a bit at his discovery. He pulled out two new fresh bullets he had on him with a few more inside a small pocket on his waist, he slide them in the empty slots and put blue rose back on his side. He pulled back his right sleeve to look at his demonic arm.

The arms felt even more real, he could feel the power it was producing coming from it. He focused again and he could feel power washing over the arm. Out of no where a second bigger arm manifested out of his devil bringer, neo didn't get scared by this but fascinated by the arm. It looked like just how Nero did it in the game and to him it look powerful.

He did the same thing before and the arm disappeared back into his arm. "Guess we got ourselves into another predicament again" neo turned to see troy checking his abilities out the same.

The weapons "DMC" Dante were all forming on Troy's back and hands, each weapon he thought of appeared on him.
Arbiter, Osiris, Aquila, Eryx, Revenant, Kablooey, and the grabbling hook Ophion that could pull or grab anything Troy wants.

When troy was done messing around with his new toys he said "Are you kidding me this might be the most coolest and exciting that ever happened to use" Well he wasn't wrong but this.

"That may be true but we don't know where we are or what might be out their" neo said his serious mode turned on.

Troy squinted his eyes and looked around "Um. What are you talking about were just in some forest, we've been in many forest before"

Neo said "Yes we have but this is different, remember we were inside the convection way deep inside the building" troy giggled when neo said deep, he continued "Theirs no way we could be sent to a forest the normal way"

Troy started to understand what neo was getting at "Wait so if that's true then.."

Neo finished for him "We were transported from the convection to here, and before you say that couldn't be possible look at yourself before saying something stupid"

Troy frowned at neo's remark but agreed with him "Ok. Then where the hell are we. This place seem suspicious"

Neo looked towards an open path that was behind them "Only one way to find out" neo smiled, the excitement of adventure rushing to his veins.

Troy looked at the path and fist bump the air "Hell yeah. Adventure time" troy walked towards the path with neo behind him face palming again because of that dumb catchphrase troy said.

But stopped when he bumped into troy that froze in front of him. Troy turned around and said "What should we call ourselves here"

Neo looked at troy like he was stupid and said "The hell do mean, why would we even change our names"

Troy said "Because. We may not be in the same world seeing what you said might be true, changing our names could help out seeing we might be stuck here"

Neo was going to reply but stopped himself when he found that troy was right, if they are stuck here that would mean they wouldn't be able to go back and using their old names would be meaningless. Neo nodded at troy idea "Sure, We'll change our names. What should we name ourselves then?"

Troy scratched behind his black crazy short hair and said "We could just use the names the guys we cosplayed as. So me being the handsome and sexy Dante, and you being the depressed and grumpy Nero, that and both your names are almost the same"

Neo nodded and walked towards the path "Seems good to be, but don't think I'll act the same as Nero in the game. I'm going to be much better than he was"

Dante Grinned and said "Right. Lets head off than and get this shit going" Dante ran up to catch up to Nero that stopped to wait for them and headed off on the path to who knows where.

Chapter 2 Meeting The Ponies

Inside whitetail woods. Nero and Dante were walking down the path, they followed it hopping it might lead them somewhere they could get some answers.

While they were walking they looked around the woods. The place seemed spooky but it didn't scare either of them, because when you done things like getting in fights with gangsters, surviving animal attacks from bears and a tiger, that one time when Dante wanted to pet it, and escaping a gun fight, not many things could scare you easily.

They also talked while they walked. Mostly about their new powers and combat skills they acquired in their new state.

Dante said "You think we have a healing factor from the game?"

Nero raised an eyebrow and thought about, he said "We should. Both Nero and Dante can heal really fast, so yes we should have the same ability"

Dante asked another question "Wait, so does that mean we might not be able to age anymore" Dante said in shock.

Nero shook his head "Yes and no. We won't age much but slower than normal, remember in the games. Dante grew older from 3 to 4"

Dante Blinked "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Is it a bad thing if we were immortal or something?"

Nero said "I think it's bad mostly because living forever is boring as fuck, the people you befriend will die and you'll be all alone. It like a blessing and a curse"

Dante nodded "Yeah that makes sense"

They kept on talking for about 20 minutes until Nero looked ahead and noticed there were less trees the further they went. Nero said "We should be getting out of here soon"

Troy sighed "Finally. I want to see where the hell we are and maybe find a place to eat, a slice pizza sound about good right know"

Nero looked at Dante "I thought you ate already"

Dante rubbed his stomach "I did but you know me, I'm a glutton" Dante smiled at his phrasing.

Nero had to agree with him. The man can eat and get hungry right after even if it's 6 pizza's he'll still get hungry 5 minutes later and ask for more. Good thing he works out.

They walked until they final made it out of the woods. There was a grassland and not to far there was a farm in the distance with a bunch of apple trees.

Dante saw the farm and said "Well where ever we are at least there's sentient life" Dante walked ahead towards the farm. Nero was right behind him but stopped when he notice something wasn't right. He looked at the farm a little long and saw an outer layer of some kind.

Nero yelled out "Dante hold up" and ran up to catch up.

Dante stopped and looked at Nero "What?"

Nero didn't say anything and walked in front of Dante, he stopped where he saw the outline. He placed his hand out and when he did a purple bubble appeared where he placed his hand.

Dante saw this and walked up next to Nero to get a good look "What is that?" he asked.

Nero said "It seems like a shield of some kind" Nero moved his hand to the side and more parts of the shield appeared "One big shield"

Dante yelled out "Your right, I reaches from over here" Nero looked where Dante was, he wasn't that far just a few feet away but like he side the shield was there to, Dante headed back to Nero.

"The shield doesn't reach the woods, so my guess is something or someone doesn't want anyone inside, this could be serious" Nero said smartly.

Dante got excited "The fun serious kind?!!"

Nero shrugged "Maybe"

Dante smiled and said "Cool. So how do we get through this?" Dante put on his thinking cap on but Nero already had an idea.

"I got one" Dante turned to Nero to hear his plan "Know bare with me here, this might be crazy but I think. We should just punch it like the reasonable people we are" Nero said with a fake serious look on his face.

Dante stared at Nero for a bit, then laughed at his simple but dumb plan he thought up "Your such an asshole you know that"

Nero smiled and said "Well I did learn it from you so..." he leaned back raising his hands up.

Dante rolled his eyes "Yeah ok, I should of seen that one coming. But I get to punch the shield, been wanting to hit something for a while know. Get this boredom out of my system"

Dante walked up to the big shield, placed one hand on the shield so he doesn't miss and look like an idiot. He pulled his right fist back and punched the shield "Bash" The place where Dante punched cracked and broke apart like thin glass giving them a passage way inside the shield.

Dante cracked his fist the sensation of just hitting something felt good to him "God that felt good"

Nero walked through patting Dante on the shoulder "Come on weirdo, can't stop and let your happy sensation slow use down"

Dante put his hands inside his coat pocket "Yeah whatever, your just jealous I get to hit something and you don't"

"Psh. You wish" Nero said back and kept on walking with Dante that skipped to catch up.

Once again the two just walked, heading to the middle of the huge shield they entered. Dante was starting to get agitated, not finding or seeing something new, just grass and more grass, he did see a scarecrow but that was the only other thing their was. He grabbed a few apples off of the trees they walked by but that didn't help much in his hunger.

Being agitated and hungry is not a good combo. Dante grumbled and said "This fucking sucks. We haven't see one thing that could make this day even better" Dante crossed his arms in anger.

Nero tried to settle his friend down "Calm down. Every adventure doesn't start with action and crazy stuff in the start" They turned and followed a dirt path.

"I Know that but come on, that shield thing seemed important. Some dude's should of came to check it out or come running over" Dante said and when he did they both sense something was coming, they didn't know how but they knew there was something coming right towards them.

Dante and Nero looked ahead of the path and were kind of shocked at what they were seeing. It was a squad of gold and purple armored ponies running towards them with swords and shields. What made it weirder was that they weren't normal ponies, they had arms and legs just like a normal person but looked like ponies.

They both broke out of their shock and waited for the ponies to come, They could see some of them were male while a few were female because of the armor, Nero quickly hide his devil bringer so they couldn't see it and freak out after, pulling his right coat sleeve over it.The pack stopped and moved in formation blocking the demon slayers from going further.

A male earth pony moved up with his shield and sword at the ready, he said "Who are you, and what are doing here!" he pointed his sword at the two of them.

Dante didn't like how the random pony spoke to them and reach out and was about bring rebellion out. But Nero placed his hand on his shoulder, Dante looked at Nero that voiced out he got this. Dante slowly let his hand go down but had an scowl on his face, looking at the earth pony.

Nero took his hand off Dante and turned to speak for the two of them "I'm sorry if we might have trespassed into you territory but me and my friend are just lost. Were trying to find a place to relax, or eat if you guys got somewhere we can catch a bite.

The earth pony didn't like Nero's answer and said "I asked you who you are, creature!" the pony said in disgust.

A small tick mark appeared on Nero's head "Why should we tell you anything, we don't even know who you are" holding back his anger.

Another pony spoke out, it was a unicorn male "We are the princesses royal and night guards. We have the right to force anyone in giving use unknown information"

Nero thought this in his head "That's the most dumbest reason I ever heard, why the hell should we do what they say just because of that?"

A male Pegasus voice out "Why are we just standing here, we should kill these two demons before they could do anything"

Nero and Dante looked at the Pegasus with one eyebrow raised. They both thought why he think they were demons, they might look different but being called a demon even though they are part demon, didn't mean they could be.

A female Pegasus next to the male said "I don't know. They don't look like demons to me" she looked at Nero and Dante closely not seeing anything they could show they were demons. She saw Dante look at her, he smiled and winked at her, she looked away and blush by his action.

Nero shoved Dante, he looked at Nero that was giving him a "Really, right know" look. Dante just raised his hands and shrugged not seeing anything wrong in his actions.

A unicorn male that was close to the earth pony stallion yelled at the Pegasus mare "Are you stupid they could be using some kind of demonic magic to disguise them self's to get close and attack use from behind" she flinched by his loud voice and frowned when he called her stupid.

The two demon slayers didn't like how the asshole with the horn spoke to the mare. Nero first said "One, we don't have demonic magic, we don't even know much about magic in the beginning"

Dante followed up "Yeah. And even if we did why the hell would we look like this if we wanted to trick you"

The unicorn male turned his head away feeling embarrassed at his stupid idea. The earth pony stallion said "Then what are you"

Dante said "And we should tell you because..." rolling his hands together.

The earth pony started to speck in a authority tone "Because we are-" Nero stopped him there.

"We already heard the dumbass with the wings say who you all are. What my friends means is why should we even tell you anything" Nero said glaring at the pony stallion. His glare made the ponies step back, their weapons pointed at them.

The earth pony stallion did the same not wanting to get to close to them, not know if their demons or not. But he didn't back down "If you don't. We will be forced to subdue the two of you and force you to tell use" he gave them the stink eye.

Nero and Dante looked at each other, they chuckled then started to laugh out loud. The ponies were confused and didn't find anything funny in what their leader said.

The earth pony leader grinded his teeth not liking the two laughing at him, he yelled at them "The hell's so funny" his loud voice made the ponies around him pull their ears down.

The two were able to stop laughing. getting back to being serious, Dante said "We laughed because you think we'll let you do that for free"

Dante's back glowed and rebellion shot out, he grabbed the handle and moved his body in a better position. Nero did the same and placed his left hand on red queen. The ponies saw this and got into formation.

The area was quiet. Both sides looking at each other, Nero and Dante looked ready and confidant as always, but the ponies in front of the didn't seem like they were ready, some of them were shaking with sweat rolling down their faces.

Luckily they didn't have to fight because of a super happy and hype voice was heard not that far behind the troop of armored ponies, breaking the tension with her innocent voice. "Hey what are you all doing all the way over here, your missing the party!!"

The armored ponies turned around. Nero and Dante were able to see who it was, and this new pony shocked the two even more.

It was a earth pony mare, and she was completely pink. The Guards had white and black fur but this mare was pink all over. She was wearing a sky blue short overalls, with two gold buckles on the front, blue and yellow long fingerless gloves and sock, they found weird because she wasn't wearing any shoes, she looked somewhat chubby but this fit, on her shoulder was a tattoo of some kind with three balloons next to each other, one being yellow and the two on either side blue . Both her tail and mane were puffy and done in a cute way, Dante didn't know why be he had a feeling he was going to like this mare he didn't know.

The earth pony said "Miss. Pie you were to stay back in ponyVille were it's safe" he said like he was talking to a child.

She waved him off and said "Don't worry, nothing can happen inside twilights bubble shield. You should calm down you look super stressed, And I thought I told you my name is pinkie pie, miss pie is my mom" her smile never leaving.

The stallion sighed "Yes Princesses twilight said her shield should be strong to protect the whole area from the demons. But we have two new unwelcome-" pinkie cut him off by gasping out loud.

She literally shoved the stallion that was bigger than her to the side, and yelled out "Where!" when she saw Dante and Nero she zoomed off and stopped in front of them kicking up dust off the dirt road.

Pinkie started to talk really fast not giving the two to say anything
"Himynameispinkiepiewhoarewhatareareyouknewherei'veneverseenanthinglikeyoubeforewanttobefriends"

When she finally stop, the two blinked in surprise and for some reason they were able to follow every word she said. They thought that their powers was the cause of that.

Nero coughed in his fist and said "It's nice to meet you. My names Nero, and this is my pal Dante"

Dante raised his hand and waved at pinkie "Sup" glad to meet someone that wasn't an asshole.

Pinkie waved back. She put on a questionable look on her face and asked "What are you two doing all the way out here"

Nero said "Me and Dante are new here and got lost, we were hopping to find somewhere to relax"

Pinkie nodded. She smacked her hands on her cheeks and a ding noise was heard, everyone heard the ding but didn't know where it came from. Pinkie said "I know, why don't you two come with me. Where having a party at sugarcube corner, why don't you join use"

Nero was confused that firstly she didn't know them and acted like they were already friends, second she asked two complete strangers to come to a party like it was nothing, he didn't know if he should find this pony to being innocent or just weird probably both.

Dante on the other hand was on board on the idea. Parties equal fun, Fun leads to food because all parties have food, and a full stomach is a happy stomach.

Dante jumped in front of pinkie And yelled out "Hell yes were joining, count me in!"

Pinkie liked how excited Dante was when she said party, she could tell just by looking at him he was the fun and crazy one of the two, just like her!

The earth pony was listening to the whole conversation and did like it, he walked up behind pinkie and said "Miss. Pie we don't know anything about these to creatures, they could be sent here by the demons to kill use all"

Pinkie groaned and said "My names not miss pie Its pinkie, and come on stone heart they don't seem bad to me. And if I know my things about ponies, that I believe is true, is that if a pony likes parties their no way they could be evil" Pinkie smiled she turned back to the two leaving stone heart speechless of her random claim.

Pinkie turned to Dante and Nero and said "Just follow me, I'll take you guys were the parties at" she grabbed Dante's hand and started to walk off where she came from, Dante not arguing and letting her pull him towards ponyville. Nero shrugged and followed them.

He stopped to see stone heart grumbling to himself with his squad by his side. Nero walked up to stone heart his men seeing him, pulling their weapons back out but he didn't mind them.

Nero tapped stone heart on the shoulder getting him to turn and look at him. He put on his military face and was about to speck but Nero spoke first "Look I understand what your doing, your just trying to do your job and protect the peo- I mean ponies that are here. If you want, you and your group can watch over use to see if were bad or not, I don't care"

Stone heart listened and was able to calm himself down. He signaled with his hand to tell everyone to lower their weapons and they did. He faced back to Nero "You'll just let use supervise you, just like that?"

Nero's eyes turned back to being serious "Don't get the wrong idea I'm only letting this slide just so you guys don't end up costing your lives, ending up doing something you might regret after" Nero said in a cold tone that scared the ponies even stone heart felt himself shake from how cold Nero's voice was.

"Hey. Why are you all still standing there, come on you'll miss all the fun" They all turned to see pinkie and Dante waiting for them just a few feet away from them.

Dante yelled out "Yeah come on dude, I'm hungry, If I don't eat something soon I'm going to go mad"

Nero smiled and started to walk towards the two "I'm coming, a party doesn't sound so bad anyways"

The guard ponies didn't know how things changed to, encountering to unknown creatures, and then being stopped just to go to some party. Stone heart told them to line up and head out, but in his head he was trying to find out what he should do.

Everyone walked down the dirt path to ponyville where the party pinkie told them was at. Pinkie and Dante were at the front talking, while Nero was behind the two listening to their conversation, and the guards behind him watching them to closely.

Pinkie remembered something and said "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You two never told me what you guys are, I know lots of ponies but never seen anything like you and friend before" her eyes widen in excitement "Are you two aliens"

Dante thought about it and said "Nope, me Nero are both humans"

Stone heart was able to hear this and didn't believe what Dante said "Human? theirs no way you two are humans, everyone knows they don't exist"

Dante heard him and turned around looking at stone heart in annoyance "Well guess what shit for brains, we are humans. If you don't believe me try guessing what I am, I bet you won't think of anything"

Stone heart tried to guess what Dante and Nero was but he couldn't think of anything just like what Dante said, this angered him and was about to retort back but Nero spoke before him "My friend is right stone, we are in fact humans, you can believe use or not but that won't change the fact that we're right" what he said shut stone hearts mouth and letting it go, the guards lined up behind him were whispering about what Nero said, some believing him and others didn't.

One of the unicorns in the back wanted to know something and said "Wait how did you two even get inside"

Everyone stopped. The ponies wanting to know how the two got passed a shield created by an alicorn.

Dante said "It wasn't hard all I did was punch it, making a opening for use"

All of the guards ponies were shocked to hear this. An alicorn magic is one of the most strongest types of magic in equestria. But all Dante did was punch part of the shield and going through with zero problem.

Pinkie pie was the only one to find it amazing "Wow. That amazing, twilight shield is super duper strong"

Nero walked up next to Dante. Dante said "Whose this twilight person you guys keep talking about?" They all started to walk again getting close to ponyville.

Pinkie giggled "You silly, twilight's not a person she's a pony. And one of my bestest friends, and a pony princesses"

Nero was the next to speak "So this twilight was the one that created the shield" they entered ponyville not minding it.

Pinkie nodded "Yepperuny, she made it big so the big mean demon don't attack ponyville"

Dante said "Demons huh, are they attack someplace near by?"

"Yup, twilight receive a letter from princesses celestia saying-"

Pinkie was cut off my stone heart not wanting to give away any information "Pinkie you can't give away information to complete strangers!"

Pinkie said "Why not, they just wanted to know what was going on"

Stone heart sighed and said "I know that but you can't spill everything out in the open. You have to choose you words correct-" once again he was cut off by pinkie.

She pointed at a house that looks like it was made out of gingerbread and candy. There were lights shining out of the window, Dante and nero could hear music inside the bakery. "That there is sugercube corner, everyone should be inside having a good time.

Dante couldn't wait and said "Then why are we just standing here, can't let them have all of the fun" Dante grabbed pinkie on the arm and headed to the door, she giggled liking Dante's eagerness to have fun.

Stone heart grumbled not liking being ignored, nero chuckled at his dispence and headed to the door with them "This should be fun"

Chapter 3 Demon Contact

Nero reached the two that were talking in front of the door. Pinkie held her hand out, stopping them “Ok before we go. I want you both to wait here”

Dante was confused “Why should we do that?”

Pinkie booped dante on the nose “Because silly, I want to surprise everyone. You two are new here so I want to introduce you to everyone in one single act”

Nero thought about it and said “Seems right. If we just go in we could scare everyone inside”

“Everypony inside you mean” pinkie exclaimed with a smile

Nero rolled his eyes “Yes. Everypony” inside his head “This whole pony talk is going to take awhile”

Dante agreed as well “Sounds good to me. Just don’t take too long ok? Still hungry and all”

“Oki Doki loki” pinkie said then walked inside the bakery. They could hear the noise inside quite a bit. They were both able to hear pinkie talking but stopped.

Dante turned to nero and said “You think they’ll be ok with use around. Both looking different and what not”

“Maybe. Where not from here, might not even be in the same world or planet. Some might be ok with use but that’s a small chance, and the way those guards acted who’s to say the ones inside may be the same” nero said.

Dante nodded. But that didn’t change how he was going to act in the party.

The guards came up to them. The males were keeping a watchful eye on the two, while some of the females in the group were doing the same but with a different purpose.

Dante felt eyes on him and nero. One being cautious and the other intrigued.

He turned to see the mares looking at him and Nero. He grinned and waved at the guard mares, their reaction made dante chuckle. A faint blush could be seen on their faces before they all turned around and looked somewhere else.

Dante whispered to nero “Good thing we didn’t go looking like aliens or monsters to con. The looks i’m getting from the female guards is nice”

Nero turned his head just a bit to peek at the mares that were still looking at them both. Nero looked towards the stallions and chuckled at their reactions to this.

Nero whispered back “You may be having fun with this discovery but their not sharing the same courtesy”

Dante raised one eyebrow and turned to look at the stallions. They were all frowning and giving the two demon slayers death stares.

Dante looked back ahead “Damn, it’s like high school all over again. Jealous guys that get pissed at you for attracting all the ladies, it’s like a blessing and a curse” dante said, fake drama in his voice.

Nero smiled “Yeah. But more like a Blessing for use and a curse for them” dante placed a hand over his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud from how nero phrased it.

Once dante was able to keep himself from laughing the door opened. Pinkie's head popping out. The smile she had when they met her still on her face. “Alright. I told them I brought some new friends here. You two can come inside and introduce yourselves to everyone”

Dante and nero nodded. Pinkie opened the door to let them in, they both walked inside with the guards right behind them.

When they got inside everything was a little bright and a bit colorful to them. They looked around to see all the ponies inside. All of them were looking at the two with widen eyes, a few backed away in fear.

Nero thought “Guess I was right, this could get problematic for use” nero looked and saw pinkie bring a group of mares to them.

She was bringing 5 mares towards them. One of them was hovering in the air. Her fur was cyan blue, she was wearing a white tank top with blue cargo pants, her eyes were pink and her hair was what caught their attention, mostly dante’s. Her hair was rainbow colored with every color of the rainbow, on her shoulder was a mark with a cloud and a rainbow lighting bolt coming from the cloud. She was looking at the two in suspicion.

Next was a earth pony mare. Her fur was orange and her mane was blonde, she was wearing a western cowgirl shirt and blue pants, she had freckles on her cheeks and was wearing a brown stetson hat on her head, her eyes were a beautiful green color, on her shoulder were three apples. When nero saw her he found himself interested in her not to mention he had a thing for cowgirls.

The next one was a white furred unicorn mare with purple color mane and tail. She was wearing a classy light blue shirt and a black skirt, they both could tell she was wearing makeup the only one wearing any. On her shoulder were three diamonds, she was looking mostly at dante’s and nero’s clothes.

Next to her was a butter yellow pegasus. Her mane and tail being pink, she was wearing a no sleeve green shirt and a white skirt, on her shoulder was three pink butterflies, her eyes were a lovely turquoise color. She was hiding behind the white mare making herself seem smaller.

And lastly of the group was a pony the two haven’t seen before. Her fur was purple, her mane and tail was dark blue with shades of pink and dark purple. She was wearing a purple school uniform with a pink tie and, white undershirt with a pattern skirt. They couldn’t see her emblem because of the shirt. Unlike the others she was the only pony that had both a horn and wings, she was talking to pinkie while getting a good look at the two other worldly being.

When they all got to dante and nero the purple mare that was in front of the group spoke first “Hello, my name is twilight sparkle. Pinkie told use who you two are and said you two were lost?”

Nero greeted back “It’s nice to meet you twilight. And yes me and dante got lost while walking through the woods, we were trying to find somewhere to stay”

Twilight raised an eyebrow “May I ask what woods your talking about”

Dante spoke up “We don’t know the name but when we got out the first thing we saw was a farm and a bunch of apple trees”

The orange cowgirl pony said “You two must be talkin about white tailed woods, the farm your talking about belongs to ma family”

“Thanks for the info, umm?” Dante said, not knowing her name.

Twilight saw this, thinking introductions were in order “Why don’t I introduce you to my friends. You already met pinkie” they looked to see pinkie waving at the two, dante the only one waving back.

She first started with the orange mare and ended it with the yellow mare “This is applejack, rarity, rainbow dash, and fluttershy” she pointed at each one so they knew who was who.

Nero was trying to understand why their names were so weird. He knew just by looking at them and how they acted symbolize their names but that just confused him even more.

The one known as rainbow dash spoke up but in suspension “What were you two even doing in white tails anyway” she got up close to dante’s face, he didn’t back away but moved his head back “Trying to sneak up on use?”

Dante grinned “Nope just lost. And if we were then me and nero are terrible at sneaking. Those guys in armor found use fast” rainbow looked around dante to see the the guards standing by the door.

She looked back at dante and said “Ok. But don’t think this is over, I'll be watching you two”

Dante said “That’s cool with me, I like it when a cute girl looks at me anyway”

What he said made rainbow dash back her head a bit, a blush was on her face from being called cute with no hesitation in dante’s voice. She tried to speak but stuttered. She saw dante giggle at her, he said “You're even more cute with that blush on your face, goes with those pretty eyes you got there”

Rainbow dash was unable to say anything and flew back to the girls trying to get her blush under control. Applejack and pinkie giggled at rainbow dash while the rest just smiled.

Twilight put on a serious look just like how nero does “Even if it’s wrong to suspect bad intentions from other, I have to ask. Are you two here to cause any harm to the ponies that live here”

Nero shook his head “No, just like I said me and dante were lost and didn’t know anything. We saw the shield and thought we could find a place to stay if we got inside. Were both not the type to cause problems or hurt anyone, only if they attack first”

Twilight nodded understanding what nero was saying. “Ok. I just wanted to make sure, being a princess does that to some ponies”

Nero nodded back. Dante's stomach growled “If that’s all done and settled i’m going to enjoy myself like a true party animal. Peace” dante did the peace sign then walked off to the nearest food table.

Pinkie skipped away were dante went “Wait for dante!!”

Rarity spoke up finding it the right time to speak “Well it was nice meeting you both but I must get back to talking with cheerilee about my dear sisters class work, ta ta” rarity walked off.

Rainbow dash was looking were dante and pinkie went “Yeah same here. Gotta enjoy the party while it last” she then flew off towards the two party animals. Well one being a animal and the other starting to become one”

Applejack spoke up “Better check ta see if all the apple cider didn’t run out. I’ll talk to yall later” applejack walked off near a bunch of barrels.

Twilight turned to Nero “Guess that leaves use two”

Nero was about to say use three because fluttershy was still with them but one of the male guard ponies came up “Princess Twilight, Capitan stone heart wishes to speak with you”

Twilight signed. She wanting to talk to Nero about himself and maybe ask some questions “Alright I'll be right there” the guard pony saluted and walked off, not without giving Nero a glare. He didn’t mind, Twilight turn to Nero with a sheepish smile “I gotta go, I’m really sorry but I have to”

Nero waved off her apology “It's fine. Your a princess, keeping them safe is your top priority”

Twilight smiled “Thanks. I’ll be back so we can talk” twilight headed of to where stone heart was at.

Nero signed and looked to see fluttershy still standing where rarity was, staring at him. Nero scratched behind his head not knowing how to start the conversation with her.

Nero said “Umm so..” but ended when fluttershy eeped and flew away. Nero blinked then sighed again “I could just relax, that sounds good”

Nero’s side

Nero walked off to the nearest corner, some of the ponies saw him and moved out of his way. They all saw him and Dante talking to twilight and believed they weren't dangerous but that didn’t mean they would trust them easily.

Nero didn’t mind and walked towards a good corner. He laid his back on the wall and chilled. He looked around to see all the ponies getting back to talking and eating, the music turning back on. The music was somewhat retro with dubstep, he turned towards were the music was coming from and saw a white furred mare, with headphones, wearing tinted glasses over her eyes playing the music.

The music wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the kind Nero listens or likes “Shit. Should of brought my phone and headphones with me” Nero put his left hand inside his coat to scratch an itch but felt something inside his coat. Nero grabbed it and pulled out a iPod that wasn’t his and headphones that went with it.

Nero got a good look at them and remembered Nero had his own headphones to listen to music “Well look at that. Lady luck must love me” Nero thought then placed the headphones on his head over his ears.

He stuck the piece into the iPod and looked to find anything to listen to. He found some of his favorite music such as, fall out boys, skillet, songs from Ed Sheeran, maroon 5, Bruno mars, and rap music like Dj Khaled, rick ross, Ace hood, and big Sean, not to forget Kendrick Lamar.

Nero smiled and played Immortals From fall out boys.

Nero let the music sink in, closing his eyes he nodded his head to the beat.

Nero wasn't the type to party to hard like dante, he liked parties but enjoyed them in a different way.

While he was listing to the music he felt someone was getting close to him, he opened one eye and saw it was fluttershy that was heading towards him. She was walking slowly probably not wanting Nero to notice her. He closed his eye and pretend he didn’t see her.

Fluttershy was right next to him. She reach out to tap his arm but pulled back, she tried again and tapped Nero on the arm.

Nero opened his eyes and looked down at fluttershy, his height making him taller than her “Can I help you?”

Fluttershy panicked not thinking what she wanted to say “U-umm I w-want t-to u-um” she started to talk quietly lucky Nero was able to hear her but wanted her to talk properly.

Nero put a hand out to fluttershy’s face stopping her from talking “Stop. Breath in and out from your mouth. Slowly” Nero pulled his hand away.

Fluttershy meekly nodded and did what Nero said. She breath in from her snout and breath out from her mouth a few times, when she was done she felt her nerves go away.

Fluttershy looked up to Nero “Thank you. My nerves got the better of me”

Nero found her voice sweet like honey “No problem. I didn’t want you to feeling scared or anything, you wanted to ask me something?”

Fluttershy’s eyes widen “Oh no, no, no. I wasn’t scared. Well maybe a little, but I just wanted to talk to you”

Nero said “So you wanted to have a conversation with me” fluttershy nodded. Nero took his headphones off so he could focus on fluttershy “Ok. What do you want to know, I’ll try answering your questions the best I can”

Fluttershy thought for a bit and asked “May I ask were you and umm Dante are from, if you don’t mind”

Nero smiled at her finding her shyness cute “A far away place. So far you may never get there” Nero didn’t want to lie to fluttershy so he told the truth in a different way”

Fluttershy seemed surprised in Nero's answer “Wow that must be really far. Is it out of equestria’s border”

Nero nodded, in his head “You have no idea”

She asked another question “Umm I never seen anything like you. Can you tell me what you are?”

Nero said “Me and Dante are both humans with something else mixed with it, you could say it’s half and half”

Fluttershy nodded listing to Nero “What’s the other half?”

Nero shook his head “Sorry can’t tell you”

Fluttershy back away thinking she may have step over Nero's boundaries “I-I'm sorry I shouldn’t have ask. I”

Nero stopped her “It’s ok you didn’t do anything wrong you just asked me a question. Everything is fine” Nero said trying to calming her down.

Fluttershy stepped back forward shyly “O-ok I'm sorry I overreacted”

Nero moved a little closer to fluttershy “Like I said you didn’t do anything wrong you don’t have to say sorry to me, ok?” Nero said reassuring her.

Fluttershy looked up to see Nero looking at her right in her eyes. She blushed a little and tried to hide behind her pink hair “O-ok” she said in a shy voice.

Again Nero smiled at her shyness then thought on something “She reminds me of someone, but who?” Nero shrugged it off then asked “Is there anything else you wanted to know?"

Fluttershy peek out of her mane then looked at Nero's sword “Um. Why do you carry a sword, if you don’t mind answering”

Nero looked at red queen then said “Red queen’s is used in fighting back enemies. I never go anywhere without her. I only use her if I have to fight, protect myself, or others”

Fluttershy somewhat knew what Nero was saying. Just like the guards they carry their weapon to protect other ponies and the princesses “Only when someone attacks you first”

Nero looked away “Well sometimes”

Fluttershy didn’t understand “What do you mean?”

Nero said “It’s not always the first encounter, sometimes you have to jump in to protect those in danger”

Fluttershy understood what Nero meant. It’s just like when she ever has to use her stare to save her friends at times.

Nero said “Anything else?”

She looked at Nero and saw his headphones “What are those?” she pointed at Nero's headphones.

Nero looked were she pointed, seeing his head phones. He was confused at her question “These are headphones. Don’t you ponies have these?”

Fluttershy shook her head “No. The only one that has those is vinyl but no one knows how she got them”

Nero looked at the white furred, Blue mane mare that was jamming out. He turned back to fluttershy “Huh. Guess that means I'm special then” Nero juggled his headphones making fluttershy giggle.

She looked at Nero's headphones again, a blush could be seen on her face thinking about something. She looked up at Nero. He looked back making her pivot and hide her face behind her mane.

She peeked out to see Nero smiling with one eyebrow raised. When she looked at Nero's smile she found herself liking it. She did the whole breathing thing and tried asking again “Um. is it alright with you if I could listen to your music?” after she said that fluttershy went back to hiding behind her mane.

Nero thought about it and didn’t find anything wrong with her request “Sure” he took his headphones off and placed them on fluttershy’s head. She shuttered from the contact, Nero made sure he placed them where her ears were. He changed the music to something else for fluttershy.

He played Girls like you by Maroon 5.

Fluttershy waited for the music. She got startled from the sudden start of the music. She listen, the music started slow but pick up. She started to bob her head from the music, even closed her eye. A smile could be seen on her lips.

Nero saw her smile, his choice of music was right. He moved to stand right next to fluttershy with their backs against the walls. Nero closed his eyes, because of his enhanced hearing he could listen to the music also.

When the music ended Nero opened his eyes to see fluttershy looking happier. She looked up at Nero her voice soft and not loud “That was amazing. I've never heard music like this before” her soft voice made it hard to tell if she was excited but Nero knew she was.

He smiled back at her “I’m glad you liked it”

Fluttershy was starting to relax around Nero. When she met the two they seemed scary and dangerous, mostly Dante. But after talking to Nero she found herself feeling comfortable around him.

Fluttershy soon notice how close they were, their shoulders were almost close to touching.

She blushed. She made the mistake in look up, looking into Nero's grey blue eyes making her blush hotter than before. She turned her head away from him making Nero confused from her reaction.

Fluttershy was trying to control her emotions “What’s going on?! I never blushed this hard before, I've ever do it when I'm embarrassed”

She placed her hand on her heart “And my heart is beating faster than normal” she looked back up to Nero. He was looking elsewhere “Could he be making this happen?”

Nero heard commotion coming far off in the party. He looked and saw Dante fist bumping the air in victory “Wonder what’s going on there?”

Nero got off the wall and turned to fluttershy that hide behind her mane when Nero looked towards her. He didn’t mind it and said “What to come and see what their doing. I would like it if you came with”

Fluttershy eeped, in her head “He’s asking me to come with him!” Fluttershy peeked out from her mane and saw Nero waiting for her reply. She blush a little then moved her mane away “I w-would like to, if you don’t mind”

Nero turned forward and said “I Never did” he started to head to the crowd of ponies. Fluttershy heard what Nero said then blushed even more, she fluttered to catch up to him.

The two were at the crowd but there was a lot of ponies bunched together so getting through could be hard. Nero could just shove them away but that would just start something, that and him and fluttershy could get separated easily.

Nero turned to fluttershy. He saw her face change to fright. She was looking at all the ponies in there way. Nero had an idea and grabbed fluttershy’s hand, making her body shake and jump a little from the contact. She looked to see Nero holding her hand she could feel warmth coming from it.

She was blushing a storm she heard Nero cough to catch her attention “Sorry but this was the only thing I could think of if we want to get through without losing each other. Are you find with this, if not just say so”

Fluttershy Shook her head, she couldn’t speak because how she was feeling from Nero's hand touching hers. Nero nodded and pulled his iPod out with his right hand, but kept the hand hidden “I’ll Change the headphones to play something for you to relax while we try in get through”

Nero played Perfect by Ed Sheeran.

The music started and fluttershy already felt relaxed. She nodded to Nero that she was ready. He made sure he had fluttershy in a good grip so he doesn’t hurt her, that only made her heart skip a few times.

When he was done they both started to walk through the crowd towards Dante and the girls that went with him “Hope that knucklehead didn’t do anything crazy” Nero said than moved through the crowd of ponies with fluttershy.

Dante’s side

Dante was at the food table stuffing his face with cupcakes and cakes. He would liked to eat chips and stuff but he was too hungry to argue. Pinkie and rainbow dash were with him.

Pinkie was looking at Dante in amazement at how fast and the amount of food he was eating. It reminded of her when she was really hungry. While rainbow dash was shocked, watching him eat so much and not stop.

She wasn’t the only one. A few ponies nearby were watching and had the same reaction as rainbow dash. Dante finished off one more cupcake. He patted his stomach feeling full and the most crazy thing about it was that he didn’t get fat from all the food he ate.

He rubbed his slim stomach and said “Man... I needed that”

Pinkie ran up to him “Holy cupcakes. You at every cupcake and almost all the cakes all by yourself!”

Pinkie got on her knee and worshipped Dante “Teach me your way master”

Dante laughed and played along “Stand child. If you want to learn you must first eat 20 cupcakes and 10 cakes if you want to learn from me”

Pinkie stood back up and saluted “Yes sir” she pulled a table of 20 cupcakes and 10 cake and started eating

Dante saw this and was very confused “How did she-”

Rainbow dash stopped him and said “Don’t bother in thinking about it, it’s a pinkie think”

Dante looked to rainbow than pinkie, looked back at rainbow and said “That's cool”

Rainbow dash was still somewhat shocked from the event “How amazing and awe- I mean ok the feat was how did you eat all of that”

Dante said “I don’t know what your talking about. I was hungry that’s pretty much it”

Rainbow dash rolled her eyes “I know that. Watching you eat almost everything said it all. What I find weird is that you didn’t gain weight from eating all of that. Your stomach didn’t rise at all!”

Dante shrugged “There’s no trick to it, I've always eat a lot of food and never gotten fat from it. It’s my very own blessing passed down to me by the gods!” Dante yelled out acting silly.

Rainbow dash giggled but stopped when she did. She had an annoyed look on her face “What the heck is going on with me. I don’t know who he is or what he is. But I'm being all chummy to him, I can’t get distracted him and his pal could be evil”

Her thought ended when Dante tapped her shoulder, she looked to see Dante right next to her. She could see his silver eyes looking at her. A small blush was on her face at how close Dante was “W-what?” her voice cracked, she hated when her voice cracks.

Dante said “Is there any drinks here. Gotta wash the food down”

Rainbow backed away a bit “Yeah. Applejack and big mac brought barrels of apple cider to the party, just follow me”

Rainbow dash started to walk with Dante behind her. Pinkie saw them walking off and didn’t want to me left behind so she grabbed the last 4 cupcakes on the table, stuffed them in her mouth and followed them to where applejack was.

Dante turned and laughed at pinkie’s chubby face it was silly and adorable. He turned back forward and said “Is this apple cider drink alcoholic” hoping it was.

“Heck yeah. Apple cider is one of the best drinks you can have, and trust me it is” rainbow said wanting some as well. When they got there they saw applejack talking to a red earth pony stallion bigger than them all even Dante.

Rainbow dash said “Hey Aj. Can we get some bottles of apple cider, the new guy wants to get a taste” grabbing applejacks attention.

She nodded and grabbed three bottle of apple cider for them. She gave each of them a bottle “Here you go sugarcubes” rainbow and pinkie started drinking theirs. Dante was looking at his bottle, he took a sip and got a good taste of it.

“Not bad. It’s sweet and taste like apple. It’s not burning like American alcohol beverages. Might have to drink more of these if I want to get slightly drunk” Dante thought and drank more of it.

Applejack saw Dante drink more of her family's apple cider, she said “Liking the ol apple cider there partner?”

Dante drank the whole thing in one go surprising all of the girls “It’s great. But I'm going to have to at least drink 10 of these if I want to get drunk at all” what he said made the girls eyes widen and shocked.

The apple family cider could make any strong stallion wasted in just two to three drinks, only a few like big mac or the canterlot guards could drink up to 5. But 10 was something only legendary.

Dante walked passed them and grabbed a few more bottles next to big mac. He saw Dante grab three more bottle making his eyes wide a bit at the amount of cider he was getting. That’s when he made the mistake in saying something he would regret “Woah there little fella, might want ta be careful with them apple ciders”

Dante stopped and froze. The girls saw this and were about to see if he was alright but stopped when they felt the air get hot. Dante placed the bottles back on the table and turned to look at big mac. Mac stepped back a bit and stood up when Dante was giving him an angry look.

Dante stepped forward towards big mac. Mac stood his ground not knowing what he had done to cause Dante to act like this. The girls saw this and went to stop whatever was going to happen. They froze when Dante spoke in a dangerous tone.

“What. Did you just say?” Dante was right in front of mac. Glaring up at him.

Big mac stood his ground and said “I said you may want to be careful in drinking to much of our cider”

Dante shook his head “No You called me little. I hate it when others looked down on me. Also don’t tell me how I should drink, your ciders good but weak”

Big mac didn’t like how Dante was speaking to him, and felt insulted when he called his families cider weak “Be careful what ya say. I don’t take it kindly when ponies insults our cider”

Dante wasn’t scared and said “Oh, and what are you going to do. I can take you on one hand tied behind my back”

A tick mark could be seen on big macs head. “Don’t get cocky colt, I’m much bigger than you. There's no way you could beat me”

Dante smiled. An idea pop inside his head “Alright. Then why don’t we find out” big mac had a confused looked on his face not knowing what Dante was talking about.

Dante walked up to big mac. He poked him on the chest then himself “You and me, arm wrestle. Winner is deemed the strongest here” Dante said in a challenging tone out loud.

The three mares heard what he said and were beyond shocked, others nearby heard it also and looking shocked as well. Big mac was the strongest stallion in ponyville no one has ever tried facing him. The only one that could even beat big mac was applejack.

Big mac was also shocked but shook it off, he didn’t believe what Dante said “Ya can’t be serious”

Dante looked right in big mac eyes, his face serious only when something involves winning “Do I look like I'm joking”

Big mac gulped feeling just a little nervous from Dante's gaze “Nope”

“Good” dante grabbed one of the barrels that was full of apple cider he picked it up with one hand. All of the ponies were once again shocked, so was applejack and big mac. They both had to use a lot of their strength to pick up the barrels but Dante only used one hand and didn’t looked stressed in holding the barrel.

Dante placed the barrel between him and big mac. He turned to pinkie and said “Mind bringing me and red some seat’s?”

Pinkie nodded and zoomed off, she came back with two chairs. Dante grabbed the two. He placed his down and tossed the other to big mac. The action surprising him but was able to catch the chair. A bunch of ponies got together around the two wanting to watch.

Big mac sat down. Applejack went on the side of the barrel trying to stop them “Wat the hay are you two doing. You can’t be having a contest out of nowhere" she turned to her brother "Bro you can’t do this you know you’ll win anyway”

“I would think first before saying that cowgirl” Dante said.

Applejack turned to Dante she stepped back from the look in his eyes, she could see a competitive spirit inside his eyes. It reminded her of rainbow dash when ever she challenged her to something.

Rainbow dash was watching the whole thing and was mostly looking at Dante. His smile, the spark in his eye, the way he was speaking It was just like her she felt a connection to it. Not to mention how awesome Dante was being. Standing up to big mac.

She blushed when thinking about it. She shook her head not wanting to think about filly things like that. She walked up next to applejack and tried to help “Aj’s right, a contest won’t change anything. And even if no other stallion has ever beaten big mac in strength” she said matter factually.

Dante looked right at rainbow dash. She did the same thing as applejack when looking at Dante's eyes but she also felt a weird sensation when looking at them.

Dante said “First this isn't a contest, what I'm doing is proving something. Second even if you keep asking we won’t stop until it’s over. And third” his competitive look harden “I'm not one to back down from something, no matter what!"

Rainbow dash didn’t know what to say from this. What he said made it hard for her to reply back. She liked how headstrong and unyielding Dante was being. A small blush appeared on her face the more she thought about it.

Dante held his arm up ready to get this thing going “Ready to go” he said to Big mac.

Mac said “Eyup” and also held his arm up.

Dante grinned. They both grabbed each others hands “Don’t get mad when you lose, others have already beaten you in that category” big mac huffed. He gripped Dante's hand really hard trying to apply pressure. Sadly that doesn’t work on Dante.

Dante barely felt it he smiled and did the same but not to much. The result was big mac feeling pain and holding in a grunt. He looked at Dante in bewilderment. Dante just smiled back “Today is the day for your pride to be broken, by me!!”

Big mac growled lowly so no one could hear. Dante signaled pinkie to come over she came up to him.

Dante said “Mind doing the honors my pinkie beautiful friend”

It was really hard to see pinkie’s blush because of her fur. Pinkie said “You got it!!”

Pinkie was standing on the side of the barrel. She placed her hands on top of both their hands “Alright everypony let’s see who will win! The unknown stallion or big mac!!”

Everypony surrounded the two. Some were rooting for big mac while only a few were on Dante's side. Applejack didn’t like this but was on her brothers team all the way. Rainbow dash was secretly hoping Dante would win.

Pinkie started to counted down “Ok. In three, two, one. Go!!!” pinkie took her hands off of their hands signaling it.

Everypony was yelling and rooting for who they thought would win. Big mac started pushing, putting all of his strength in his hand trying to force Dante's hand down. He thought it would be easy because how small Dante was and little muscle he had. Too bad he thought wrong.

Big mac notice how their hands were still at the same place unmoving. He found this odd because he was pushing with all of his strength. He looked up at dante and shocked at what he was seeing.

Dante look unamused. His arm not moving at all even if big mac was the one pushing. His hand didn’t move an inch from it’s spot no matter how much mac pushed.

All of the ponies saw this and their yelling fell into silent murmurs. Applejack went up to her brother and said “Mac! What are you doing, you need to push to win!”

Big mac strained and said “I.. am...”

Applejack went wide eyed and got a good look at their hands. She saw mac pushing, the veins in his hands could be seen. She looked at Dante's hand and was speechless to see his weren’t moving at all. It was like they weren’t wrestling to the begin with.

Dante yawn, getting bored “So are we going to start or not?” Dante knew they started and that big mac was pushing he just wanted to mess with him and the others. He grinned when it worked.

All of the ponies faces were in shocked, the same goes for pinkie and rainbow that were watching the whole thing closely. When Dante looked at big mac he had to stop himself from laughing at how funny his face looked.

Dante wanted to rile big mac even more and said “What’s wrong red? Having second thoughts”

Big mac shook his head. He breathed out and pushed harder, his arm and hand started to sweat. No matter how strong he pushed Dante's hand still didn’t move.

Dante chuckled and thought it was about time to end his this little game “Times up big fella. Don’t let this loss get to you. Many have had their pride broken by me”

Dante started to slowly push mac’s hand. The action startling all the ponies. Mac tried to fight back but Dante's strength was something he never faced before.

Slowly but surely Dante pushed big macs hand to the surface of the barrel. He connecting macs hand on the barrel taking the win with no problems at all.

All of the ponies didn’t know how to react. Pinkie and rainbow dash were the first ones to yelled out for Dante, some of the ponies that rooted for him did the same, and the rest soon followed.

Dante stood up tall fist bumping the air in victory, he yelled out “Hell Yeah” with the ponies yelling out with him

He looked to see big mac looking at his arm, the look of defeat on his face. Applejack was rubbing his back trying to help him feel better.

Dante signed and thought he should at least apologies. Thinking he may have went to far.

Dante grabbed a bottle of cider and walked up to big mac. Applejack saw him and had a frown on her face. She was going to say something but Dante put his hand up to stop her.

Dante placed the apple cider on the barrel next to big macs arm grabbing his attention. Big mac looked up to see Dante giving him an aplogy smile “You did great man. I could tell you were really giving it your all”

Mac still had a sad look on his face, Dante breathed in. He was never good at apologizing “Look. I’m sorry at how I acted. I just hate it when others underestimate me. I tend to get mad easily at the most dumbest reasons”

Inside his head “That’s why Nero is always around to keep me in check” Dante chuckled at how he needs Nero to stop him from doing crazy things or starting fights.

Big mac raised his head up hearing Dante's apology. Dante stuck out his hand “As I said, I'm sorry. Friends?”

Big mac looked at his hand, silence in the air. But then he also stuck his hand out and grabbed Dante's shaking hands and taking Dante's apology “Eyup” everypony clapped at the sight. Applejack was glad to see that everything didn’t go wrong so did pinkie and rainbow dash.

Pinkie and rainbow walked up to Dante and the two apple siblings. Pinkie was the first to speak, excitement in her voice “Wow that was one weird arm wrestling match”

Applejack chuckled “I’ve never seen anyone arm wrestle big mac and making him look like a colt trying to open a heavy door. No offence” she said when mac was giving her the stink eye “But I got to know, did you somehow cheat?” Applejack said getting close to Dante wanting him to tell the truth.

Dante was going to say he didn’t cheat but rainbow came in “Of course He didn’t cheat we were all watching the whole thing. He won fair and square!” Rainbow said making applejack back off in surprise from rainbow’s actions.

Rainbow dash notice what she was doing and tried to make it seem like she wasn’t helping Dante “What I mean is that we all saw the whole match s-so there was no way he could have cheated”

Dante smiled at how rainbow was trying to help him. Dante got to her side and said “Thank for having my back skittles”

Rainbow dash looked away from Dante “Yeah whatever. I was just helping so Aj doesn’t go lie detector on you” truth was rainbow didn’t like how applejack was accusing him of cheating and stepped in.

Rainbow heard what Dante called her and looked back at him “The hay are skittles. And why did you call me that” she frowned thinking Dante was insulting her.

Dante said “Where I’m from there's these rainbow colored candies people eat. And when I look at your hair it reminds me of them, I find it pretty awesome”

Rainbow blinked at Dante's complement. She's never had a stallion compliment her mane, they always find it weird and dumb. But here was Dante finding her mane cool. She looked at him, her pinkie eyes trying to find if he was joking “You find my mane awesome?” she was hoping he wasn’t messing with her.

Dante nodded “Not just awesome, it’s beyond awesome. I’ve never met someone with rainbow color hair and make it look good” he smiled telling rainbow dash the whole truth.

Rainbow dash blushed from his compliment. She turned away from him messing with her mane “W-well thanks. Your mane’s pretty cool too”

Dante chuckled, liking how flustered rainbow was being “Thanks but it’s nothing compared to yours”

Rainbow dash was having a hard time controlling her emotions. She’s had a few stallion hit on her but they were more dirty in speaking. Dante was just being friendly and jokeful and rainbow found it cute.

Inside rainbow dash head “Dammit why can’t I stop blushing. He may be good looking, funny, and the way he faced big mac was pretty hot, dangit I’m acting like a filly with her first crush” rainbow went wide eye at the thought. Does she have a crush on Dante.

She looked to see Dante talking to pinkie and the apple siblings. He was having a conversation with mac. They both laughed probably from a joke Dante made.

She was looking at Dante the whole time. When Dante smiled for reasons unknown her stomach felt like she had butterflies inside. And her heart beat faster than normal, rainbow whispered “Ahh pony feathers”

Back with Dante he was talking to big mac with pinkie and applejack. Mac asked Dante a question “Are you the strongest where your from?”

Dante thought about it and said “No, because there's someone here as strong as me”

Big mac and the others raised an eyebrow “Who would that be?”

After mac said that someone cut into the conversation “That would be me”

They all turned to see Nero and fluttershy finally getting passed all of the ponies that dispersed.

Dante smiled, happy to see his friend joining the fun side “Speak of the devil and he shall appear”

Nero shrugged “Well yeah. When a bunch of ponies are yelling that would bring attention” Nero said still holding fluttershy’s hand. She didn’t mind it, liking the feeling of nero's strong but soft hands.

Dante grinned “So…. what were you doing, having a good time with little miss yellow there?” Dante was looking at their hands. Nero looked down at their hands, he moved his hand and felt fluttershy was gripping it a little.

Nero looked at fluttershy and said “Umm fluttershy?” She look up and hummed. Nero looked down at his hand, she doing the same. Fluttershy saw their hands still together. Her eyes widen, she eeped then let go of her hand away from his.

She started apologizing again with Nero having to calm her down. Saying she didn’t do anything wrong.

Dante laughed with pinkie and rainbow doing the same. That’s when Dante felt something, it was in the air. A strong energy or was it the force? He didn’t know what it was but knew it was heading right towards him.

Nero felt the same thing as Dante. They heard commotion in the crown and out came a flustered twilight, her hair was all crazy and her eyes looked like she was looking to kill.

She saw Dante then pointed at him, She yelled out “YOU!” everypony heard her and looked right at her but she wasn’t focus on them.

Dante looked left then right. Then back at twilight, he pointed at himself “Me!” then got himself confused not knowing what was going on.

Twilight started to speed walk towards Dante “You. Me. Explain. Know”

She was right in front of him a little to close for his liking. Dante was liking the feeling of twilight’s breast against his chest but the crazy look she was giving wasn’t so inviting “Uhh. I don’t know what your talking about and surprisingly I'm feeling pretty scared right now”

Applejack and rainbow went in and grabbed twilight and pulled her away from Dante “Woah there, calm down sugarcube your scaring the poor stallion” she was holding twilight' s left arm, while rainbow was holding her right.

Rainbow said “Yeah. You're doing the whole crazy twilight thing. What happened, were one of your books in the wrong shelf or something?”

Twilight breathed in and started to calm herself down “No that’s not the case. And even so I always make sure with spike’s help that every book is in it’s right place” rainbow rolled her eyes at twilight's nerdy reply “But that’s not the case. I was told by captain stone heart that the shield I created by using a lot of my magical energy was breached!!”

All of the ponies gasped, the loudest came from rarity that came over when she was done talking to cheerilee. Aj and rainbow let go of twilight, Aj said “How can that be. What could have broken through?”

“Oh….” they all turned to Dante “You must be talking about the purple shield. Yeah that was totally me, my bad” he scratched behind his head. Feeling like he goofed up.

The ponies started whispering about what Dante said. Twilight walked up to Dante “Stone heart already told me it was you but didn’t say how. He said I should ask you personally

Dante shrugged “It wasn’t really hard. All I did was punch it and a part of the bubble broke, then me and Nero just walked through”

One of twilight’s eyes twitched from what Dante said “What?”

“Like I said, I punched it and it opened. It’s not really hard to understand” Dante crossed his arms not wanting to repeat himself”

Twilight backed away not believing what Dante said “That’s not possible. I made sure the shield would be powerful enough to hold back the demons from ponyville. Good thing I made sure to place a regeneration spell on the shield so it could patch itself”

She looked back at Dante “How strong are you? No normal stallion couldn’t even scratch my shield!”

Dante grinned “Well that’s where you got it wrong, were human. And to answer your question let’s just say a lot stronger than you think”

Twilight blinked when he said human. She started thinking that both Dante and Nero could be from the dimensional mirror but that couldn’t be because they didn’t look anything like the humans there.

Twilight moved away from applejack and rainbow dash and looked right in Dante's eyes “You are going to tell me everything you know, right now”

Dante smiled. Finding her forcefully attitude cute to him “Hmm I don’t know. I could make a time and place to talk for a cute pony like you” twilight didn’t see that coming and blushed, she started to sputter words that Dante didn’t know were words until now.

While Dante was enjoying messing with the pony princess Nero was thinking about how strong him and Dante were “How strong are we? Dante was able to destroy a part of a shield that was believe powerful. And what I heard from some of the ponies he won a arm wrestling match against a pony deemed to be the strongest stallion here without even trying”

Nero looked at his right arm, his devil bringer creating a faint glow “I could have done the same thing just easily. We need something to test our abilities. If only we had a few test subjects”

Suddenly stone heart came shoving ponies out of his way with a few guards with him. He yelled out to twilight gaining everyone's attention “Princess twilight. One of my night guards has spotted a magical flare coming from the everfree forest”

All of the ponies started to worry. A flare would mean someone was in danger, and since it was coming from the everfree forest it can’t be good. Lucky twilight was there to keep everyone calm.

“Everypony calm down. Everything will be fine, me and the guards will go and see if everything is fine” Twilight said.

Applejack and the other girls stepped in “Not with use your not” each of the girls nodded agreeing with applejack.

Twilight smiled and said “Right” she turned back to stone heart “Let’s head to the inside of the shield closest to the forest”

Stone heart nodded and signaled his group out with twilight and the girls. Before they left, fluttershy gave back Nero's headphones and thanked him.

Twilight said “Everypony will stay inside sugarcube corner were it’s safe” The ponies inside nodded and listened to twilight.

When they left the ponies started talking. Some were worried and others scared that it might involve the demons.

Dante and Nero were the only ones not worried but intrigued of what could be so wrong “Seem things are getting hectic” Dante placed his hands In his coat pockets.

Nero placed his headphones around his neck “Seems so”

They both stayed quiet until Dante said “Were going to follow them aren’t we”

Nero walked off towards the door “Yup”

Dante chuckled and followed him. Right when Nero was going to open the door a tan furred and grey mane earth pony mare with glasses, wearing a dress uniform saw the two leaving and said “What do you two think your doing?” all of the ponies heard her and gather near her.

The two turned around to see some of the ponies looking at them, Dante said “Um. Leaving, what does it look like”

A light yellow, violet mane earth pony with a rose emblem on her shoulder said “Princess twilight said that everypony should stay here” all of the ponies agreeing with her.

Nero wasn’t liking this and said “And why should we even listen. She may be your princess but she’s not ours”

Big mac was next to step in. He tried to stop the two from leaving “It’s like what miss twilight said, it could be dangerous”

Nero rolled his eyes at mac’s words. He turned back to the door and opened it. The mares in the crowd gasp from Nero not listing “That’s why were going. We want to see these so called demons you all keep talking about” he walked out not seeing the shocked facing of the ponies that all heard him.

Dante followed out not before saying “And by the way she said everypony. Were not ponies. So….Yeah, later” Dante waved and closed the door out.

All of the ponies in the room were shocked to see the two leave, well not all of them. One blonde mane grey furred mare, her eyes looking in different placed smiled and said “Bye” the only one not seeing the main problem.

The two demonslayers headed off, following the hoof prints twilight and her group left behind. The two walked passed a few house and one building that captured their attention. It was a castle that was made out of crystals. They got a good look at it then kept on walking with Dante saying “How the hell did we miss that?!”

They walked for a bit to see the girls and the guards feet’s away from the shield. They could see the forest, it looked like any normal forest back in their world.

Dante yelled out startling them and grabbing their attention “Yo guys, anything happen yet?”

The girls didn’t know why the two followed them. Stone heart didn’t look happy and stomped up to them, he yelled at them “The buck are you two doing here! You were told to stay back!”

Dante and Nero weren’t scared of stone’s outburst. Dante said “Well to bad dumb nut were here anyway”

Stone heart grinded his teeth, angry at Dante's reply. Twilight walked “But this could be dangerous”

Dante just shrugged “That’s never stopped use in doing what we wanted. Bedside's everyone needs a bit of danger in their lives” what Dante said surprised twilight and stone heart. Twilight never met someone that wasn’t even a little bit cautious from the signs of danger. She thought that Dante was either brave or dumb.

Nero cut in wanting to know if anything happened or not “That doesn’t matter. Has anything happened before we got here” he asked Twilight.

She turned to Nero, surprised at his serious and focused tone. She got herself together, frowned and said “No. nothings happened yet, we came here and waited to see but-” Twilight was cut off when a loud crash was heard coming from the shield.

Everyone turned to see the part of the shield they were watching was blasted, a smoke screen was in the way. The guards quickly formed up in front of the girls and the demonslayers. Nero and Dante didn’t react wanting to see what it was before doing anything.

Everyone waited. They could see a few pony outlines in the smoke. When they got through everyone gasped except Dante and Nero.

Dante and Nero saw five pony guards and two ponies that looked like twilight but in different colors. One was a tall white mare, her mane moving and sparkled with a few shade of colors, Dante found her hair awesome. She was helping one of the guards and holding another in her magical grip, she had a few wounds on her and looked tired.

The second one was a dark blue furred mare, her mane looked just like the night sky with stars. Nero found her mane beautiful, he always did find the night sky amazing. She was being carried by one of the guards by the shoulder, cuts and bruises on her body. The other two guards were hurt limping with them. When they got through the shield closed back up.

The Girls yelled out “Princesses Celestia. Princesses Luna” then ran to help them with the guards following them. Dante and Nero also followed but walked.

Everfree Forest

Deep inside everfree forest a army of 50 demons were packed together. Their skin molten black, the insides of their bodies creating heat, their eye sockets glowed from the heat from their bodies, each one looked different from the other, and had sharp fangs for ripping and tearing flesh.

Some were crouched down eating the flesh off a few pony guards they killed and captured. That's when a bright light shined near them, they quickly moved not wanting to burn to death.

A Bigger demon a lot bigger than them walked by, his height almost reaching the top of the forest. All of the tree and animals that got in his way were all burned down and turned to ash, the demon walked on four legs, his facial features looking like a lions, on his head were two sets of horns, his whole body was black creating flames, even his mane and tail was on fire. In his right hand was a giant sword as big as a tree. This demon was the leader of the army. The scourge of the bottom pits of Tartarus, Berial the conqueror of the fire hell.

Berial growled angered that he let the two sister get away. Berial attacked canterlot so he could be the first to rule over a kingdom before the other higher demons could. His army attacked killing all of the pony guards. Only some of the canterlot citizens were killed but the rest were transported to a safe place by celestia and luna.

The two sisters fought strong, helping their guards in taking a few of his demons. Berial had 65 but were taken out from the help of the princesses. But when he came into play the fight ended fast.

Berial beaten the two sisters alone but right when he was going to finish them celestia teleported away taking her sister and the last few guards with her.

Berial seethed, smoke coming out of his mouth “Damn them all! How dare she run from me, I'll find her and gut her like a fish!”

Another high demon warped next to berial but not to close. This demon had a red mask over it’s face with black ooze running down his eye holes, the demon had some parts of its body covered but was showing his right bicep. Showing it’s rough skinny body but that didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous, it wore a dirty cut skirt. His left arm was metallic black while the right was all skin, in both hands were two long blades. This demon was known as the Drekavac he’s the reason why so many guards died in battle.

The demon spoke in gibberish that berial understood. He hissed “So. they ran off to the nearest village. Such cowardly fools”

Berial waved his hand and a pack of five bipedal demons walked up wielding spears, their bodies were coated in red, they seem weak but the guards that faced them soon found out that it meant nothing. Their claws and fangs sharp and their skin seemed like they were made out of blood. It was a babau, a lower tier demon.

Berial pointed at one of them “I want you to head over to the village and finished off the two sisters. While you're at it slaughter the ponies that live there”

The babau nodded and ran off, faster than a cheetah through the forest and headed towards ponyville to finish the job. Berial thought that he didn't need to send his arm to the village. In the state the pony princesses were in, they couldn't even beat a low tier demon and the ponies living there wouldn't stand a chance.

Back with the group. The girls and guards were helping celestia and the guards she carried, while two night guards helped with the guard that was carrying luna.

Twilight had tears in her eyes so did fluttershy and rarity. Twilight said “Princess are you ok, can you stand, who did this, what happened?”

Twilight was speaking to fast for celestia to reply, she placed a finger on twilights lips to stop her from talking “I am find twilight. You should be worrying about the others and my sister” she said smiling weakly.

Twilight sniffled and wiped away her tears “Princess what happened. In your letter you said canterlot was being attacked by an army of demons”

Celestia’s smile faded, she nodded “Yes we were attacked by a horde of demons. They came out of nowhere, few of the ponies were killed without a second thought. I was able to teleport them all to safety with my magic and took arms and fought back. But We were bested and beaten easily”

The girls gasped shocked to hear about their princesses losing. Stone heart walked in “May ask princess, how many guards did we lose”

Celestia sighed “Far to many captain” stone heart looked away. His guards putting on a sad look for the loss of the guards that fought.

Dante and Nero stayed back, not wanting to intervene but was able to hear everything celestia said. Dante said “Looks like there were more than one princess here. And seeing how beat up they look they took the L hard”

Dante notice Nero not replying. He turn to look and see Nero with a serious look on his face, staring at the forest. Dante said “What’s wrong?” he knew when Nero makes that look something was wrong.

“The Shield” Nero said. “It looks faded”

Dante looked back at the shield and Nero was right. The color wasn’t as bright and looked thinner.

Nero said “The blast she caused must have weaken the shield even more”

Dante didn’t find anything bad about it “It may have gotten weak but how could that be bad, it may get worse if-”

Nero finished off for him “Someone or something, like a demon attacked the shield. And seeing how weak it is, it wouldn’t be hard for them to do”

Dante raised one eyebrow “You think a demon would come and break through the shield”

Nero shook his head “No. I think that how tired and weak celestia is she couldn’t have gotten away without leaving tracks behind. Meaning they could follow her and be heading towards here right now as we speak”

When Nero was done talking a sound of broken glass was heard. Everyone looked. The girls gasped and the guards started to sweat and pull their weapons out.

The babua that was ordered to attack ponyville rammed through the shield breaking it easily. He turned and saw the ponies. He saw both the princesses and went for Luna, the weakest of the two.

The demon ran across towards Luna. The two guards that were helping her ran ahead to block the demon. But were quickly killed by the demon ramming his spear through their stomachs.

The babua pulled his spear out fast, jumped and aimed his spear right at Luna. All of the ponies saw this, celestia would have done something but she was to weak, twilight and the girls were shocked and scared when they saw the demon kill the two guards easily, and the guards that saw what happened ran back.

Luna looked up to see the babua falling towards her. She didn’t have any magical energy to do anything. She closed her, in her head “Is this how I will die, weak and defenseless” one tear ran down Luna's cheek waiting for her death.

But that wasn’t going to happen. A loud Bash was heard near Luna and the sound of bones breaking above her. She peaked open one eye, then both. Looking at something unbelievable.

A creature Luna never seen before with white hair and a sword on his back, drop kicking the demon in the air, breaking it’s jaw. He pushed back and sent the demon flying back rolling on the ground from the kick.

He dropped down on his feet in front of Luna. She looked at him from up and down, the clothes he was wearing fitting his look And the sharp rose looking sword he had on his back. He turned his head at her, Luna could see his eyes from the glow of the moon. They were a majestic blue gray color that shined in the night.

“You alright?” Nero said, wanting to know if she got hurt.

Luna blinked coming back to reality. She nodded her head fast “Yes. We are fine” she found his voice strong and serious that made her blush a little.

Nero accepted her answer. He turned to the guards that ran away, they were staring at him with the others with shocked faces. He growled and yelled out “The hell are you standing there for! Come and help get her away from here!”

The guards Nero yelled at jolted back from his outburst. They ran up to Luna picking her up and taking her away from the demon, not wanting to face Nero's fury if they did it low.

Nero signed and pulled blue rose with his left hand out of his coat. The demon Nero kicked away was able to get itself back up, he growled and rushed back at Nero.

Fluttershy saw the demon heading towards Nero and yelled out “Watch out!!” the girls and the guards look with widen eyes to see the demon pointing his spear at him.

Nero didn’t react because he didn’t have to. Right when the demon was about to pierce Nero, Dante ran in front of him with rebellion drawn. And blocking the spear, kicking up dirt off the ground. Dante blocked the spear with little effort.

The demons eyes widen from Dante's sudden action. It was shocked to see someone being able to run faster than it and block an attack no stallion could stop.

Dante looked over his sword at the demon “Guess we have ourselves a party crasher nero”

The demon growled at Dante's words but stopped when it felt something pressed against its head. The babua looked up to see Nero pointing blue rose at its head “Not like it matters, we needed some action anyways” and before the demon could react Nero pulled the trigger and blasted the demon away.

It’s head blown clean off. The babua’s body flew back hitting the ground and lying dead on the floor.

Nero pulled blue rose close to his mouth and blew away the smoke coming out of it. Dante stood back up placing rebellion on his back, the sword disappearing. The two turned back to see the girls, the two princesses and guards staring at them.

Nero rolled his eyes at their staring while dante chuckled at them. They walked back to them, Dante said “Might as well take a picture, it will last longer than you staring”

The guards stepped away from the two as they walked by. The girls and celestia shook out of their dazed reaction, while Luna was looking at Nero.

Celestia tried to stand tall but almost fell down, twilight catching her. Celestia nodded at twilight appreciating her help. She turned back to Dante and Nero that were standing in front of them, She said “Who are you two?”

Dante spoke up wanting to get the introduction fast, he pointed at himself “ I’m Dante” then pointed at Nero “And he’s Nero. Where just your ordinary team of demonslayers”

All of them looked at Nero and Dante in shock. The main six with celestia and Luna have never seen or met ponies that call themselves demonslayers before. Questions were going to be asked.

Chapter 4 Demon Killing

Back in the everfree. Berial soon was told that one of his babua warriors were killed from the other small red demons. He growled in frustration “That’s impossible! There's no way he could have been killed by the sisters, and no normal pony could face against even a gremlin”

He looked towards were ponyville was, then turned towards his demon army “All of you! Storm towards the pony village and kill all in your way, leave no survivors”

All of the demons screeched out and ran to ponyville. Berial didn’t believe that the so called elements of harmony could best one of his demons without the elements with them.

Berial breathed out “Who ever is there, they will not be able to take on the full force of my demons” sadly he didn’t know what he was facing and will soon find himself wrong.

Back with the others. Twilight was rambling on asking question to the two demonslayers “How did you do that, where did that sword come from, what was that thing you had in your hand, are you two really humans?”

Nero was starting to get annoyed by all of the question that were being fired at them while Dante wasn’t even listening. Dante moved his hand over twilights mouth making her stop “Dude, Stop with the Rambo questions. It’s not helping anyone”

Dante moved his hand away from her mouth. Celestia spoke up “He’s right twilight, this isn’t the time for questions”

Twilight was surprised to hear celestia say that to her “What to you mean! These two were able to kill a demon that easily took down two guards, they can’t be human their to unordinary”

“Were standing right here you now” Nero said startling twilight, she said sorry soon after.

Stone heart cut in “What do you mean princess” celestia was going to answer but nero did it for her.

“What she means is that things are going to get even more dangerous than before”

Everyone looked towards Nero, applejack said “What are you talking about partner?”

Nero looked at the dead babua on the ground “That demon was able to get here quickly” he turned back to them “Who’s to say the rest won’t come after”

Everyone gasped except for Dante. But rainbow said “But wait, what about the shield. They can’t get through that”

Dante said “I wouldn’t be so sure” he pointed his thumb at the shield they all looked and dread was sketched on their faces.

The shield looked even more weaker than before, the color almost completely faded. Twilight said “Oh no, my shield is started to disappear. One more hit and the whole thing will be destroyed!!!”

Rarity said “Can’t you just pour more magic into it” twilight shook her head “No, like I said. I put almost all of my magic into the shield just incase. If I put even more I'll run out of magic”

All of the ponies were destructed from what twilight said. Then pinkie said “Well it couldn’t get any worse” making the mistake in inflicting karma.

Dante and Nero heard hoofsteps heading towards them. Soon the others heard it and looked to see everyone in ponyville nearby.

Everyone looked at pinkie that had on a sheepish smile and said “Oops” It was a good thing pinkie was so innocent.

They all headed to the ponies with the guards helping the two pony guards that celestia cared, the main six and stone heart helping celestia. One of the guards was about to help up Luna but Nero stepped in.

Nero said “Don’t even bother, I got her”

The unicorn guards didn’t trust Nero and got mad at what he said “Don’t you tell me what to do! I can handle helping our princess”

Nero pointed at the guards hands, he looked down at his hands. They were shaking, he didn’t know he was even shaking until know “Your hands are to shaky, you could drop her like that”

The guard looked back at Nero. He was going to decline and say he could do it but Luna spoke up “Stand down guard, he is right. As the way you are know you could get use both hurt”

The unicorn guards was shocked to hear Luna agreeing with Nero. He backed off letting Nero take care of it.

Luna looked up at Nero “Are you sure you can do it. I can’t move much of my body, and I may not like it but I’m qu-” she wasn’t able to finished. Nero bent down and picked Luna up easily, holding her bridal style with little problems.

Luna made a cute eepe sound when he lifted her up. She blushed from how close she was, her head against his chest hearing his heartbeat.

Nero said “Like I said, I got this. Your actually really light. Weighing less than a feather” what he said made Luna blush hotter, she hide her face away from him. Nero started to walk to the others, putting his head in a good position so her horn doesn’t poke him.

When he got to them twilight was talking to the ponies that came out of sugercube corner “Why are you all out here! I said to stay in sugarcube corner where it’s safe”

The same tan, grey maned earth pony mare that tried to stop Nero and Dante said “I’m sorry twilight but we got worried and came out to help ”

Then a magenta, pink and light pink mane earth pony mare wearing a teachers outfit said “We got worried and came to see if you all were alright”

They all nodded. Twilight didn’t know what to say finding their reason in coming out innocent. Celestia stepped in and said “It is brave of you all to come and help, but it is still dangerous out here for you all”

The pony citizens lowered their head, thinking they should have stayed back. Stone heart spoke out loud for them all to hear “Princess celestia is right. I want you all to head back to sugarcube corner were it’s safe”

Dante and Nero soon felt a weird force coming from where the babua first appeared. They both turned to the weaken shield at the same time. Luna notice Nero’s sudden action “Is something wrong?” she said in a worried tone.

Nero didn’t say anything. What he was feeling was every negative emotion he could think of, hate, malice, rage, bloodlust, animalistic, it was all heading towards them.

Nero whispered one word at this outcome but Luna was able to hear it “God fucking dammit”

Dante said to stone heart “I don’t think they’ll get the chance Capitan” They all heard him and Dante pointed at the shield.

When they looked the first thing they could see was glowing lights coming from the forest, then soon after all of the demons that attacked canterlot came out, the glow of their eyes scaring all of the ponies.

The mares in the crowd screamed, while few of the stallion did the same with their own girly screams.

Even though twilight said if she poured more magic to the shield she would lose some of her magic in the end. But when she saw the demons and the scared looks on her friends faces she did it anyways.

Twilight fired a beam of magic into the air hitting the shield and putting more of her magic into it, not a lot just enough to hold back the demons just a little bit. But that didn't help. The demons all attacked the shield, attacking it with their hands, slashing the shield with their demonic weapons, or just breathing fire onto the shield.

Twilight tried her best but it ended up exhausting to much of her magic making twilight fall to the ground on her knees with her friends by her side helping her up.

The shield soon had cracks showing, it was close to breaking and falling down. Stone heart ordered his guards “All of you. I want a defensive line in front of the ponies, Know!”

Right when they were going to do that, Nero and Dante got in their way. Stone heart saw this so did the girls and the two sisters. Stone heart yelled at them “What do you think your doing!!!”

Dante was the one to answer back “Our job”

The ponies that heard him were confused. The main six and the princesses were wide eyed and shocked to hear him. They didn’t believe what dante said before about them being Demonslayers was true.

Rainbow dash said “What are you talking about, you can’t take all of them on by your self's!”

Twilight backed her up “Rainbows right. We need to evacuate while we still can”

The others agreed with the two, but Dante just waved them off. “You don’t have to evacuate. There's no reason of you all to doing that”

Luna wasn’t liking Dante's care free attitude at their dire situation. “Do you not see the army of demons right in front of you. There is no time in making joke’s!”

The guards and the girls with the citizens all understood what Luna was talking about and argued at what Dante said. But then Nero spoke out, his voice silencing them all. The serious tone of his voice catching their attention.

“Dante’s right. Evacuating isn’t needed, because we’re going to handle this ourselves” Nero said mentioning him and Dante.

The ponies didn’t want to believe that they would take on the army of demons by themselves. They couldn’t get to say anything when the whole shield broke down. They all looked to see the demons moving forward.

Nero walked up to two night guards “Here” and gave Luna to them. They didn’t argue and took Luna out of his arms and setting her down softly on the ground. A White mare, pink mane pony that had on a nurses uniform was there to help Luna.

Luna found herself feeling defenseless again. When Nero was carrying her she felt so save, like nothing could hurt her. She didn’t know why she felt that way, she didn’t know what he was or who he really is.

She looked over to see him walking to Dante. Nero had a plan and thought it would help keep everyone alive. He patted Dante on the shoulder “Here’s the plan. You go in and take on the demon's head on, while I stay back and take out any demon that gets pass you, while keeping the ponies safe from harm.

Dante smiled at his plan. He understood what that meant but in his own way. Inside Dante's head “If that’s it. Then that means I get to fight them all alone with no one helping me” Dante giggled in his head feeling his blood pumping in excitement.

Dante smiled and nodded at Nero's plan “Got it. That may be the best idea you ever had”

Nero smiled back “I knew you would like it”

Dante yelled out catching everyone's attention even the demons “ Finally! I get to have some action!” he turned to face the demons that were distance away and said “Just wait their, I'll be there soon” the demons heard him and were confused at his outburst stopping their advance.

One of the guards, a Pegasus stallion said “Your joking right you can’t take on that army of demons” finding Dante amusing.

Dante turned to the stallion, the fire in his eyes scaring the pony “Just watch me!!”

Dante walked off towards the demons but Pinkie, rainbow dash and twilight, that was able to get herself together ran to Dante in stopping him from doing something crazy.

Pinkie said “Danty. Are you crazy, you can’t fight all of those demons” when pinkie gave him a nickname he found himself liking the pink mare even more. He thought the nickname she just gave him was cute and funny.

Rainbow said “Pinkie’s right. You’ll die if you go out there. I just started liking you. I can’t have you die know” Dante raised one eyebrow at what she said. Rainbow notice her slip up and tried to fix it “What I mean is that I think your not bad, and wanted to get to know you better” rainbow dash twiddling her thumbs with a small blush on her face.

Twilight spoke next “Why are you even doing this? Don’t you know what your getting yourself into” twilight grabbed onto Dante's coat.

Dante saw the worried look in their faces. He didn’t understand, they didn’t know him but they cared for his safety. Nobody cared about him. The only one being his best friend neo/Nero that cared.

Dante grinned and booped twilight on the nose making her go cross eyed and rub her nose. Dante grabbed her hand letting her let go of his coat and looked at the three girls “Thanks. I’m happy to hear you all say that to me of all people”

The three mares saw a small look of sadness in Dante's eyes. Pinkie and rainbow being the two that got to know Dante were surprise to see such a sad look coming from him.

But that quickly faded, Dante went back to his normal crazy jokeful self “But don’t worried, I got this” he pulled twilights hand to his lips, kissing her hand and making her blush. He let her hand go “But thanks anyways”

Dante stepped away. He placed his hands inside his coat pulling out ebony & Ivory. The ponies saw the two metal objects in his hands, the light from the moon making them sparkle that made a few of the ponies eyes wide, even making vinyl pull up her shades to get a better look.

Dante looked backed at the ponies “If I were you. I’d sit back and enjoy the show” he started to walk off towards the army of demons.

The Ponies were shocked that Dante was actually going to fight them alone. Nero called out to him “Try not letting to many get pass you”

Dante kept walking and said “Got it. Just don’t get mad if I kill them before you get a chance to do anything”

All of the demons stepped forward hissing and growling loudly at Dante. He didn’t care. Dante put on a smile walking towards them. The smile he had made a few of the demons step back, they could feel energy that was just like theirs but much bigger and more stronger then theirs.

When he was in a good distance he dash right at the horde of demons. His speed catching the demons and ponies that were watching off guard.

Dante ran up to the leading demon, he jumped and kicked it right in the face. The demon went flying with a few others surprised and letting their guard down.

Dante took this moment and started firing his pistols at every demon around him. Troy/Dante only fired a gun a few times in his life. He’s never killed before mostly sending his attackers to the hospital. But right know he wasn’t feeling anything when shooting at the demons, he felt the same with a bit of excitement going through him and adrenaline running through his veins.

His new abilities gave him pinpoint accuracy, firing at each demons head killing them instantly. One demon tried to attack him from behind, but Dante sense this and ducked under the swipe of the demons claws, he elbowed the demon then placed ivory under it’s chin, he fired and blown the demons head off.

More demons ran in up close with Dante dodging and weaving around them, shooting each demon that got close. One demon far back opened its mouth and fired a ball of fire at Dante. He saw the ball of fire and moved his head to the side, the ball missing him but hitting a demon behind him, it’s face blasted off.

Dante looked over to the demon that fired at him and saw 5 more lining up with him and firing more balls of fire at him. He dodge and stepped to the side of a few of the flaming balls. He rolled under one fire ball, then slide on the ground Firing 5 bullets out of ebony and hitting each demon in the head.

Dante stood back up and fired more shot at the demon around him. Some tried getting close and others trying to dodge his bullets but each shot was aimed right at their heads.

Dante grinned wanting to show how awesome he was. He ran forward in the middle of the demon army, Dante jumped and spun his body spinning in midair and rapid fired all of the demons around him. They didn’t stand a chance, each bullet was hitting their bodies leaving holes all over them. Those that died fell down to the ground dead with their bodies turning to ashes.

He spun in the air for a bit then flipped himself up right and landing on his feet in a badass pose. Crouched down with his hand up and looking like he was bowing.

All of the ponies that were watching couldn't believe it. No one was strong enough to take on one demon, it would take a very skilled pony to take on two or three. Even the princesses had a hard time fighting off the army that attacked canterlot. But what they were seeing was the impossible being done by one stallion.

The main six and the princesses were also shocked at what they were seeing. Just like Dante said he was taking on the whole army alone and holding them down. The three mares that tried to stop him were scared that he would get hurt or worse killed, but after seeing him fight and kill more demons than any guard could dream their fears were replaced with wonder and amazement, mostly rainbow dash.

The rainbow colored mare literally had sparkles in her eyes. The way Dante just ran in and fought the demons without a second thought was amazing to her. And when he did his spin trick, rainbow was liking Dante more and more, she started thinking he was the most awesome person she has ever met.

Pinkie was feeling the same way. When she first met him near apple orchard she had a feeling she was going to like Dante, but the feeling she felt before only grew the more she talked and laughed with him.

Twilight was watching the whole thing with a critical eye. The way he fought, how he acted, and the strength and speed Dante showed off told her that he wasn’t any normal human, the same would be said to Nero. But just like the two she found herself liking him, not to far off like the two others. Twilight hasn’t spoken to Dante in a real conversation like pinkie or rainbow.

Nero was watching the whole thing with a normal look. He knew this would happen even if they just turned into the characters from “DMC” they both had their skills, and abilities right off the bat. Nero saw Dante do the spin trick and said in his head “Show Off”

Dante was done using the pistols and put them back inside his coat. He cracked his neck and said “All right. Warm ups over” then what came next surprised the ponies and demons. On his back a symbol of a sword with wings glowed bright. Rebellion shot out spooking the ponies and making the demons move back in caution “Lets get this party started!”

Dante grabbed rebellion off his back with his right hand, the tip of the blade almost touching the ground. The demons got ready, not wanting to fall like the others.

Dante dashed at the horde, his sword low grinding against the ground. The demons ran at Dante with two demons up front. One tried to slash Dante with its sword. Dante parried the demon's blade, the next demon swung his blade sideways but Dante ducked under it. Dante was right between the two demon so he got behind the first one, he swing his sword cutting the demons head off, then turned slashing through the other demons head.

Dante started attacking the demons, swinging his sword in many different ways taking down each demon that faced him. He slashed one diagonally, the demons body severed. Five more attacked him but Dante quickly cut down the first one, he weaving passed the rest them slashing their chest open and killing them.

Dante turned then dodged a fireball from another demon. He pulled back rebellion and used “Stinger” piercing the demon through the stomach. He grip the sword then cut up it’s chest and then its head. He drew the sword back to his side.

Dante jumped back from another demon's claw, he rushed the demon then used “Hacked” cuttiing the demon in pieces.

Dante was having a blast. He was able to count that he killed 10 demons leaving 20 left. He was having so much fun he didn’t notice a few demons slipping passed him.

Eight demons got passed Dante, not wanting to be killed like the others. They started to head towards the group of ponies that were watching the whole thing.

A unicorn mare guard saw the eight demons coming towards them. Her eyes widen with a scared look on her face, she yelled out to stone heart “Sir, demons heading right towards use!”

All the ponies heard her and got scared when they saw the demons running towards them. Stone heart was about to order his group to protect the ponies and princesses but a loud bang went off near them.

Two Bullet were fired and blown one of the demons head off making the 7 stop in their tracks. They all looked to see Nero pointing blue rose at the demons, Smoke coming out of the barrel.

Nero glared at the demons then fired 5 more shot at them killing 5 of them that tried to get close. He then pop the slot mage out, raised blue rose in the air to let the empty bullet casings fall to the ground, he swung his left arm on his side making his coat fly open and pulling out more bullets, he spun around. The bullets sliding into the mage, spun back forward and fired two more shots at the last two demons. Killing them each with one bullet to the head.

Nero pulled back his revolver. Pulling out two more bullets out of his coat and placing them in the mage. He clicked the mage back in. He notice the ponies were much quieter than normal.

He looked to see all of the ponies staring at him know. Nero raised one eyebrow and said “What?”

They kept staring. Celestia was the one to speak for them all “What are you two?”

Nero heard her and grinned and said “Wouldn’t you like to know”

Fluttershy was trying to process what she just saw. Back at the party Nero was smart, nice, funny, and handso- cool, a word fluttershy learned from rainbow dash. But know He was being serious, focus, strong, and once again cool or was it cooler she didn’t really know. But she knew one thing, the butterflies were coming back.

Luna was having the same problem. She’s never had this happen before, she knew it was reason of unknown caused by Nero but didn’t know why.

Not that far away three young fillies were walking passed the houses. They wanted to go to the party but their sisters took them to applejacks home where they could be safe. They were left in the care of old granny smith. But these girls were not the kind to listen easily, so when granny went to sleep they snuck out the house leaving granny and another person that was sent there.

On the right was a yellow fur, red mane, orange eyed, earth pony filly. She had a red bow on top of her head, she was wearing blue overalls with a apple on the front, under the overalls was a light green shirt.

The filly on the left was a white fur, purple and pink mane, green eyed, unicorn filly. She was wearing a pink and yellow dress with pink and white striped shirt under the dress.

And lastly was the one leading the two. This filly had Orange fur, her mane dark purple, and her eyes a normal shade of purple, this filly was a Pegasus but was different because her wings were a bit smaller than most other Pegasus's. She wore brown shorts, and a small light orange sweatshirt.

The unicorn filly spoke out, thinking that walking around at night wasn't a good idea “Scootaloo are you sure this was a good idea”

Scootaloo responded back “Come on Sweetie belle, Why should we have to stay inside while everyone is partying”

Sweetie belle said “Maybe it’s because it’s a grown-up pony party”

The earth pony filly Said “Sweetie. Pinkie was tha one that organized the party. All of her party’s are always child like”

Scootaloo agreed with her “Applebloom’s right sweetie, there's no way they could be having an adult party if she's the one making it”

Sweetie was still not sure about this “Even still. Were not supposed to be out at night”

Scootaloo snorted at sweetie “Are you kidding. This is ponyville were talking about nothing really bad happens here” the three fillies were getting close to sugarcube corner.

Apple Bloom thought that scootaloo was wrong “That’s not true, bad things have happened in ponyville before”

Scoots rolled her eyes at applebloom “I mean like scary, dangerous stuff bloom. What you're thinking about is the weird things that happen here” scootaloo exclaimed

They stopped right next to sugarcube corner. Applebloom thinked about it and said “Then what about the time when that scary red minotaur attack ponyville huh, everything got destroyed even the school!”

Applebloom had a good point but scootaloo just waved her off “Come on. That wasn’t so bad. No one got hurt, and Rainbow dash and everyone else took care of it”

Sweetie cut in “Actually I heard it was twilight thst did the most of that”

Scootaloo gave sweetie an even look “As I said nothing bad, scary, to completely dangerous ever happens here” as she says that the girls heard loud bangs coming far of in the distance.

Sweetie jumped back and hide behind the two “W-what was that!?”

Scootaloo got a little scared from the loud noise, so did applebloom. But she shook it off and said “That must be everyone. Come on we can’t let them have all of the fun”

Scootaloo started to walk off but then applebloom said “But our sisters said the party was taking place here” she pointed at sugarcube corner.

Scootaloo looked back at them “They must have changed the party out here. Come on! Let go!” Scootaloo waving her friends to follow.

Applebloom and sweetie belle looked at each other then started to follow their orange, purple friend to the suppose party.

Not that far away a Purple and green, young dragon that was taken to the apple family farm was looking for the three fillies that snuck out. He left the farm house to bring them back inside because unlike them he knew why they were sent there.

He grabbed his head messing with his spines “Oh man twilight is going to kill me when she find out I'm here”

He looked around the ground and found small hoof prints, then started to follow them “But I have to bring them back before they do anything crazy like normal” he followed the hoofprints in a quick pace.

Back at the action Dante was messing around with the small pack of demons. The ponies were still watching with Nero keeping an eye on anything strange.

The Girls were watching Dante beatdown the demons. Rainbow was watching with stars in her eyes “This is the most awesomest thing I have ever seen! He’s doing what no normal pony or guard could do!”

Rarity Said “My word, there was so many but know it’s dropped down even less in a fraction of a minute!”

Pinkie was jumping up and down “Dante’s giving those Meany demons a good beating. And did you see the trick he did with those metal things in his hands”

Rainbow heard pinkie and said “Heck yea I saw! The way he spun in the air while shooting them was epic!”

Twilight cut into the conversation in her normal scientific talk “The weapons he had in his hands are completely metal, they fire like how a bow does but much faster and whatever is inside them is being launch faster than any bow an arrow”

“That’s because their from where were from” The girls looked to see Nero still watching the area. He said “The metal objects in Dante's hands are called pistols, while the one I have is called a revolver” Nero thought he would give them a bit of information so they didn’t get lost in all of the action that was taking place.

Twilight was the one to ask a question “What are those things that come out of the pistels you speak of”

Nero turned to her “First off its pistols not pistels, replace the e with an o” twilight blushed embarrassed in her mistake, rainbow laughed while pinkie and applejack giggled at her. They were silence when twilight glared at them.

Nero kept speaking “The small object that come out are called bullets. The pistols in Dante's hand fired them by trigger motion and putting force on the bullet making it fly out fast, to fast to see, only to leave a hole in your head in the end”

The girls listens with the guards and princesses listening also. They flinched from what Nero said in the end except Luna. Twilight was able to magical up a notepad and pencil, writing down everything Nero said.

Nero looked at her confusingly, Thinking why she was writing it down for. It’s not like they will be able to make their own without the right material or metal.

Rainbow dash was watching Dante mess with the demons “Wow watching him just tear those demon apart is crazy. He even has a smile on his face” the girls and others heard rainbow and looked, as she said Dante did have a smile on his face. It was like looking at a colt that was playing a game.

Nero turned to the girls and princesses “Dante has always been like that. He's the type to get excited and have fun in things like this. He may joke around and act like an idiot sometimes, but between the two of use he’s the more excited, first to run into fights kind of guy” Nero exclaimed to them.

The girls listen to Nero. Pinkie giggled at the way Nero spoke about Dante, that was all true. While the others smiled at him. The way he spoke about Dante.

Celestia also smiled with Luna giggling finding Nero making fun of Dante funny. Celestia said “You two must have been together for a long time for you to give a full description about him”

Nero didn’t find anything special in what he said “Well we are friends after all. Those that have been friends for a long time tend to understand how they act, talk, or the signs they give off when their happy or sad”

They all were surprise to hear an on inspiring reply from him. Luna heard what Nero said and thought that he was wise in speaking about friendship in such a way.

Nero turned back forward. He looking at the demons, he looked at them in a critical eye and notice something was wrong “Of all of the demons that appeared I haven’t seen any of the red bloody demons yet” Nero thought that they may be a special group of demon and who ever was leading them must have only sent the one out. The only thing he thought about is when the rest will come out.

Back inside the everfree. Berial heard all of the bangs, screeching and noise of his army in battle but it wasn’t the sound of a winning fight. He looked up in the air and saw all of the ashes of his demons that told him they were slain in battle.

Berial was getting madder the more this unknown threat keeps doing the impossible “Grrr... This is taking to long!!” berial turned to the four babua’s and yelled “All of you go! I don’t care what you do! Just kill who ever you see!” the babua’s backed away from berial his hot temper burning down the grass and trees around him. They scurried off to ponyville, to in act their leaders wish.

As Nero was thinking about the demons that haven't shown yet. Him and the other ponies didn’t notice the three fillies that came out not far off from them.

The three fillies stared wide eyed at what they were seeing. Just like the ponies, they were watching Dante fight off the demon army alone. They saw the demons on the ground die then turn to ash.

Sweetie was even more scared, her voice cracking “W-hat Is that?” she was referring to Dante.

“Ah Don’t know sweetie. It looks like a monkey of sum kind” applebloom said trying to think what the creature was”

Scootaloo said in excitement “A cool monkey you mean! He’s fighting all of those monster alone! That’s so awesome, well not as awesome as rainbow dash but still awesome!”

Sweetie pulled on both applebloom and scootaloo, they turned to her “Can we please go back, we can’t be out here. What happens if one of them attacks use”

The two faced sweetie. Scootaloo wasn’t scared “Oh come on sweetie that’s not gonna happen. The cool monkey guy is already fighting them”

Applebloom was feeling the same as sweetie “Sweetie right scoot’s. What if our sisters see use, then we’ll be in a whole lot of trouble”

Scoot’s rolled her eyes at applebloom “There's no way they would know were here while they're all watching the fight. Who would even find use” as she says that a young boy’s voice was heard running to them “There you all are. I was looking for you three”

The three fillies turned to see a young dragon wearing a purple sweater with a green dragon emblem on the front, wearing black pants, his black slit green eyes glaring at them.

Scootaloo waved at the dragon “Hey spike. What took you so long?”

Spike wasn’t in the mood for jokes “Don’t hey me spike! What are you all doing here. You were told to stay inside”

AppleBloom said “We wanted to join pinkie's party. So we came out”

Spike sighed rubbing his claw down his face “That doesn’t matter. We were sent to your home so we don’t get hurt”

“You mean the monster?” sweetie asked.

Spike said “Yes them!” but froze “Wait how did you know demons were attacking canterlot?!”

Both sweetie and bloom gasped at what spike said, except scoots “We didn’t”

Spike placed his hands over his mouth. Then said “Dang It” he looked at the three “Then how did you know about the demons?”

Scootaloo pointed behind them. Spike look, his eyes widen in shock. The demons he was talking about were there. He looked and saw that they were fighting some creature he’s seen before but didn’t remember from where he seen it”

Spike was trying to understand what was happening “I don’t understand, twilight placed a huge shield all over ponyville, there's no way they could have gotten in by force”

Applebloom looked at the scene also “We don’t know either. By the time we got here, we saw that monkey creature fighting the demons”

“And winning!” scootaloo pop between the two, surprising them “He’s fighting them all by himself. We saw some on the ground and notice there were more of them before we got here”

Spike agreed with her because the letter that was sent by celestia did say a army of demons was attacking. Spike was also shocked about it but shook it off “That doesn’t matter we need to go know!”

Scootaloo look at spike like he was crazy “Are you serious we just got here!”

Spike shook his head “To bad. We were told to stay inside, if we stay out here we could get ourselves hurt or worse”

Scootaloo frowned at spike “Come on spike your starting to sound like sweetie”

“Hey!” sweetie said, not liking how scootaloo said it.

She ignored her and continued “And as I said to her their fighting that guy already, there no way we could get attacked”

While spike and scootaloo argued. Not that far off the babua’s that berial sent made it through the forest. They looked around and saw the demon army, well more like a group instead of a army. They didn’t go in, but moved away from them.

The babua’s looked around and saw the ponies, princesses, and guards. They were going to attack but saw Nero, the air around him dangerous making them change their minds. They looked around again and saw the three filles and dragon. Sick twisted smiles were on their faces, They then moved fast towards them.

Scootaloo and spike kept on arguing non stop. Applebloom was trying to stop them but with little success. Sweetie was shaking, scared that something would happen. She looked back at the fight but then saw something red in the corner of her eye, she looked and saw the four babua’s heading right at them.

Sweetie did the only thing she could think of, she screamed. Spike and the other two fillies jumped from sweetie's scream and they looked and saw the demons coming. Scootaloo and applebloom screaming like sweetie in fear.

The scream was loud enough for some ponies to hear. The ones that heard it clearly was fluttershy and applejack. Fluttershy looked towards were the screaming came from, she gasped and dash to the fillies.

Applejack notice fluttershy's action she was going to speak but saw what was screaming. Her eyes widen when she saw the fillies and spike, her eyes changed to fear for the kids when she saw the demons.

She did the same thing and ran to the kids. The other girls looked with the ponies and princesses.

Nero heard them gasp. He looked to see them looking else were. He followed their eyes and saw fluttershy flying to the kids with applejack and the demons closing in.

Rainbow dash was about to fly to them but something faster ran past her and the others. It was moving to fast for them to know who it was.

Sweetie and bloom started to cry with scoots holding her tears down. They back away with spike getting in front of them, scared but wanting to protect them. The babua notice this and one rush them with it’s spear pointed.

His action made the kids freeze in place, to scared to move. Fluttershy was able to make it with applejack close behind. They both got in front of them covering the kids with their bodies and closing their eyes.

The demon kept on going getting closer to striking the two mares protecting the kids. Right when the spear got close, the Fast blur got in front of them and stuck its right arm at the spear.

When the spear connected, it stopped with the demon pushing it. A loud crash could be heard when the two connected, dirt and dust on the ground pushed back from the force.

The two mares didn’t feel any pain. They opened their to see the fillies holding onto them with tears in their eyes. Spike was covering his eyes with his claws, sitting with them.

Fluttershy and applejack turned. their eyes widen to see Nero, their mouths opened when they saw his right arm. So did the others that were looking. The fillies and dragon soon opened their eyes to see applejack and fluttershy, they looked over them, their eyes wide also.

Nero blocked the spear with his devil bringer. The force of the contact knocking his right coat sleeve back.

The demon was shocked just like the first babua that tried that trick. He was staring at Nero's arm, the demon could feel a very powerful demonic power coming off the arm.

He looked up to see Nero staring him in the eyes. Nero growled and grabbed the spear crushing it and making the demon gulp. He pulled the spear towards him with the demon in toe, he pulled back his right fist and punch the demon in the face. The power of his devil bringer making his punch stronger than normal.

The punch Broke the demons face, teeth, nose, everything. Nero pushed and sent the demon flying back. The other babua’s had to move out of the way from the babua. His body bouncing off the ground. The babua kept on flying until it’s body slammed into one of the trees from the forest, breaking the tree and making it fall to the ground killing the babua, leaving it broken and dead.

The ponies, Babua’s, fillies, and dragon. Were wide eyed, mouth open at the feat they just saw. Nero stood up, his movement startling the babua’s to move back from him.

He turned his head to see them looking at him. Nero didn’t pay much attention to it “Are you all ok?”

His voice bringing the two mares back to reality, Applejack said “Uh yeah. We're fine partner”

Nero looked her over making applejack blush from him looking. He did the same with fluttershy, making her blush also. He looked to the kids. His eyes widen a bit when he saw their tears, the scared look on their faces.

Nero spoke softly to the kids "Are you four ok?"

The young fillies and dragon were surprise to hear Nero speck calmly and caring towards them. They nodded their head slowly. Nero sighed glad they didn't get harmed.

Nero turned to them making the demons look at each other finding it strange of him to leave himself wide open. One of the babua's was about to capitalize this weak spot but stopped and froze like the others when they felt bloodlust coming from Nero. Making them stay back.

He bent down to look the mares in the eyes "Take the kids and go back to the others, I'll take care of things here"

Fluttershy got worried "But there are four of them and just you!?"

Nero just smiled at fluttershy's worried tone "Please. If Dante can take on an army of demons, fighting just four would be child's play" the two mares could hear the pride and dedication in Nero's voice, and he wasn't wrong either.

Applebloom didn't think Nero could do it, neither the others kids "Are you sure your going to be alright mister"

Nero looked down at applebloom startling her. She saw Nero reach out with his right hand at her. She gasp and closed her eyes like the other but didn't feel any pain. She felt his claw like hand rub her head caringly.

She looked up with the others to see Nero smiling at them "Don't worry kid. I'll be alright"

The fillies and drake could tell Nero wasn't scared at all. His voice determined giving them hope. He stood back up "Now go. I'll take care of these rats real quick"

Fluttershy and applejack nodded and picked up the kids. Running back to the group. Applebloom looked back to see Nero giving her a thumps up. She smiled and returned her own.

Nero kept his smile on until he heard the babua's growling and hissing at him. The noise annoyed Nero and for some reason he was angry. He yelled out "Shut it!!!" startling the demons and ponies from his outburst and shutting the demons mouths shut.

He turned to face the babua's. They could feel Nero's anger boiling making them shuffle away a little with their spears up. Nero said "I don't know why" an image of the fillies crying showed in his head "But I feel really pissed off right know" his devil bringer glowed attracting looked from the ponies, he turned his hands to a fist and looked at the babua's.

"There's only one way to relieve this rage. And that's to bash your faces to the ground!" after Nero said that he dash at the babau in the middle and push him back, knocking the air out of the demon and sending him a few meters away.

The action surprised the two but quickly fought back. One swung it's spear at Nero's head but he ducked under the swing. The second babua tried to Peirce Nero's head but was blocked it with his devil bringer. Nero first grabbed the spear, he kicked the first babua in the stomach knocking it to the ground, then pulled the second giving it a strong uppercut with his left sending the demon flying in the air.

Nero had the demons spear in his hand, he grabbed it with his other hand and kneed the weapon breaking it in half then tossing it to the ground.

The third babua got back up. His legs were shaking but the demon didn't care. He turned back and saw Nero. The babua yelled out and ran back into the fight, jumped in the air and pointed it's spear at Nero's head. Nero heard and sensed the third babua coming, when the spear got close to his head he turned and tilted his head to the side, making the spear go by. He then reach out and grabbed the babua's face with his devil bringer.

The babua yelled out, kicking and screaming. Nero got annoyed by it's action so he started putting pressure squeezing the demons head. The babua screamed in agony but was muffled because of Nero's hand. Nero squeezed harder, blood started to come out of the demons head, and then "Splat" the babua's head was crushed in Nero's grip it's body motionless.

Nero let the dead babua go, dropping the demon on the ground. He turned to see one if the babua's getting up but backing away from him. He turned and saw the second babua he punch get back up so he went for him instead. The babua got up and turned but was met with Nero's left fist that knocked the babua in the air. Nero wasn't don't and grabbed the babua leg with his left hand, he pulling the demon back to him and punched the babua into the ground with his devil bringer, smashing the babua's face and ground under him.

The punch shook the ground making the ponies wobble, trying to not fall down. Their mouth's hit the floor when they saw the ground around Nero, cracked and shattered from his punch. The babua's face broken with blood arounds it's head. Nero got back up and turned to the last babua.

The demon was stepping away from Nero but froze when he saw nero looking towards him. Nero eyed the demon, stepping away from the dead babua on the ground. He then rush the last babua without a second thought. Nero punched the demon with his left making it spin in the air from the blow. The babua hit the ground but was still alive, He tried to crawl away but was stopped when Nero grabbed it's leg.

With no warning Nero picked the babua up by the leg and slammed the demon on the ground, he did it again, again, again, again... For about 8 times. He lifted the crushed babua in the air and released the demon, not before giving it one more punch with his devil bringer. Sending the demon flying towards Dante that was about to finish the last demon on his side.

Dante was walking towards the final demon of the army that tried to attack ponyville "Seems like the show is about over know. Stand still for me, I don't want to miss your head" The demon had no where to go. Dante turned rebellion around behind his back and was about to run and slash the demons head off but the babua Nero punch flew and smashed into the demon. The impact cracked the demons ribs and when the two fell down the force broke the demons neck killing him and turning into ashes.

Dante stared at the two dead demons on the ground. He turned and saw Nero wiping his coat from the dust and dirt from the ground. Dante Scowled and yelled at him "Dude what the heck. You took my kill!"

Nero heard him and said "My bad. I wasn't trying to take your fun away" Dante just grumbled and started walking to Nero.

All of the ponies saw the whole thing and still couldn't believe it. Dante was able to beat the whole army alone, not even the guards could stop them. Nero defeated 4 average tier demons with no problems at all.

All of them had their own thoughts in the event. Luna was mostly fascinated by Nero's skill and strength he showed off "He beaten four demons with no problems at all. Not to mention the ones that tried to get pass but were easily killed! His strength is greater than any stallion or minotuar, the way he fought was strong with no hesitation, like a true strong stallion~" Luna looked at Nero with half lidded eyes.

The two demonslayers grinned and fisted bumped then grabbed each others hands in victory, Dante said "Stylish victory?"

Nero responded "Completely"

The two chuckled and went back to the ponies. Unknown to them the leader of the army will soon come and take matters in his own hands.

Chapter 5 Boss Fight

Inside the everfree more trees and grass begin to burn and fall to the ground. Berial's anger was rising, he heard the noise of his demons silenced and the ashes in the air fading away. The fire demon seethe smoke out of his nostrils "My army hads been beaten. The army I forged to conquer the kingdom I set out to control and rule!"

Berial's flames started to heat up the more he thought about it. He was tired of waiting. As the saying goes "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself" so that's what he was going to do.

"Drekavac!" berial called out. The dreamwalkers warped beside him "Our army has been wiped out. I will not stay standing by and let those worthless ponies win!"

Berial stomped one of his four legs on the ground creating a burst of flames destroying all plant life around him "We Will Take Equestria And Kill Everypony In Our Way!"

The dreamwalker nodded. The two higher tier demon's headed to ponyville to finish what they came to do.

While that was happening Dante and Nero were being filled with question not from twilight but from the three fillies Nero saved. Each one asked their own question just like how twilight did but was more annoying. It went in order from applebloom to scootaloo and sweetie belle in the middle.

"What are ya?"

"Where do you get your cloths?"

"How Strong are you two?"

"Can ya shoot lasers out of your eyes!"

"Can you fly?"

"Are you faster than rainbow dash?! your not right?'

Nero breathed in and sighed. He never disliked children but right know he was starting to. Once again Dante wasn't even listening he was checking out ebony&Ivory and found out there were bullets inside the clip but weren't normal bullets because he could feel his demonic power inside each bullet.

Twilight saw how bothered Nero looked and Dante not listen to them. So she came in to save them from the fillies onslaught of questions "That's enough you three. I would like to ask a question on how you thought sneaking out here was a good Idea?"

Applejack, rarity, and rainbow dash each walked up by twilight side asking the same thing. Making the three troublemakers freeze and turn around slowly to face their very much anger sisters.

Applejack was the one to get them back on track "Well? You better have a good reason or it's months of chores for you bloom"

Rarity agreed with applejack "That's right. The same will happen to you sweetie but just grounded instead!"

Rainbow gave off her own older sister glare like the two "And don't try and roll around it squirt. If you lie I won't let you watch me do my moves anymore!"

Each of the fillies got scared and worried, mostly scootaloo making her the first one to spill "We wanted to join you guys to the party but you said we can't so we snuck out!"

Applebloom spoke next "We didn't know that demons were going to attack. If we did we have just stay home with granny!"

Sweetie was the last one "Were sorry, Were sorry, Were sorry....."

And at the same time all three said "Please forgive use!!!" then they did their puppy eye act to seal the deal.

The three scrunched up their faces. Trying hard to stay mad but not lasting long

"Alright. We'll let you go for know" applejack said making the fillies smile and almost yell out in victory "But" their eyes widen when hearing that word "Your all still in trouble so bloom your going to work half of the chores for a week"

"Sweetie I won't ground you but for a week just like bloom your going to clean up my material when ever I have work to do"

"Scoots you can still be their to watch my awesome skills but were going to up your training even higher!"

All three fillies fell to the ground like a airless balloon. Thinking that they were home free but very much not. The whole thing made Nero and Dante chuckle at how funny the kids reacted.

"Excuse me" The two looked to see celestia standing thanks to the doctors healing magic "I would like to thank you for facing the demons and keeping my ponies from harm"

Dante smiled and Nero smirked "No problem. We were just doing our job" Nero said.

"No problem?" They looked over to Luna that was looking a little better but needing rest to fully be healed like celestia "What you did was save many lives from certain death. You both risked your lives for use, if theirs anything we can do just ask"

Celestia agree with her "My sisters right. If you need something we will try in our power to accomplish it"

Dante put on a sly grin on his face "Anything huh?" looking at celestia in fake lust and licking his lips. This made the pony princess blush and move back a little twiddling her finger and shuffling her legs. The guards also saw this and were about to point their weapons at him but Nero stopped them by slapping Dante behind the head.

"Less acting like an animal and more human you idiot"

Dante rubbed the back of his head actually feeling the pain from the hit "Ah, dammit dude I was just joking around"

Nero pointed to celestia and the guards "Well they didn't find your joke funny" Dante looked and saw celestia's small blush and her guards moving in front of her.

Dante smiled sheepishly seeing his mistake "My bad. I was just kidding"

Celestia was able to calm herself down making her blush fade away. She coughed in her hand "It's fine my little ponies. Like he said he was just playing and lets not forget their the ones that saved use remember?"

The guards looked at each other and listen, putting their weapons away and after thinking it wouldn't do much against the two. Twilight and the girls came up to discuses what to do "Celestia. Know that the army is gone should we try and head back to canterlot?"

Celestia thought about it "No" the ponies eyes widen same with the girls and guards "I may be able to stand but I'm to weak to do anything at the moment, the same with my sister. And as I said we sent every citizen to a save place. They'll be fine, we'll go back tomorrow to fix the damage" the ponies understood celestia, thinking it would be better if they go back tomorrow.

"You and Luna, and the guards can stay with me and sleep in anyone of the room inside the castle" twilight offered her. Celestia smiled at twilight like a mother. She nuzzled her use to be student.

"Thank you twilight we will gladly join you"

All of the ponies started to clam down now that the action was over. The guards escorted them away so that twilight, the girls with celestia and Luna can talk to Nero and Dante "If you like you two can also stay inside my castle"

Dante looked at twilight in surprise "Hold up. you mean that huge crystal castle is yours?!"

Twilight nodded, Dante scratched his messy black hair "Don't you think it's a bit much that the whole thing is made out of harden crystal?" Dante asked jokingly that twilight and the other could tell making them giggle and twilight to puff her cheeks out making Luna and celestia hold in their giggling.

"Hey! it's not like I asked for a giant castle made out of crystal. It just sprouted out of the ground"

Nero raised one eyebrow "Sprouted?"

Pinkie then popped in the middle surprising everyone except the two demonslayers "It was so crazy. You see this huge mean guy name tirek attacked equestria sucking everyponies magic so he can take control and conquer the world but twilight fought him by absorbing all three pony princesses magic to face him. It was super hardcore just like dragon ball z, shooting lasers and destroying trees and mountains but then tirek with his evilness captured us and used us to make twilight give up her magic. She did making him even more powerful so then we headed to the three of harmony to open the chest giving use the power from the tree beating tirek and blasting him back to Tartarus"

Everyone looked at pinkie in shock, surprise, and wonder. Mostly from Dante that found the whole thing awesome and crazy "I almost forgot. When we got back the tree of harmony created the castle because twilight was a complete princesses"

Twilight was the one to finally say something "Pinkie" Pinkie pie turn to twilight "How did you know the parts that you weren't there for"

Pinkie smiled "Well duh I read the script"

"Script? Pinkie the hay are you talking about" rainbow dash was having a hard time understanding.

"You know "My Little Pony season 4 ep 25" that's how I knew what happened" the girls still didn't understand the same with celestia and Luna. Nero just didn't really care anymore and Dante was laughing at how funny their faces looked.

But then like Nero that was able to understand everything pinkie said dante asked "Hold up. How the heck do you know what dragon ball z is?!"

Pinkie looked else where. Sticking her tongue out to the side "That's a secret"

Dante blinked once, then twice. He then smiled "Your weird, but in a cool way" Pinkie heard him and blushed at the complement.

"Join the club partner. Your not the only one that thinks that" applejack said with the others nodding with her.

A stallion pony guard came up to celestia "Princess we moved all of the citizens back should we tell them it's safe to head back to their homes?"

"Yes that would be-" she was cut off by the rumbling and shaking from the ground. Everypony froze and looked towards the everfree. Dante and Nero looked also and saw a bright light coming to them.

"Oh no" they all heard celestia say, the look of dread and fear on her face. The same for Luna. They all soon notice the smell of smoke and burning fire, Nero and Dante moved up waiting for the thing to come.

Princess! What's going on is another army coming?!" twilight said worry and fear in her voice.

Celestia shook her head "No twilight. That is no army. What comes is a demon just like tirek and much more evil" the girls got even more worried. Tirek was one of their most powerful enemies they faced. They never thought there would be anyone as evil or strong as him.

The light got closer and they soon could see the trees in it's way light on fire and fall to the ground, making fluttershy worrying about the poor animals that could be hurt from all of the fire. But then the light disappear right near were the army first came.

The ponies got confused by it but Nero and Dante still kept their guard up and a good thing to. In a fiery roar the tress, grass, flowers were all burned away by berial roar. The roar made Nero and dante to cover their eyes and turn away from the wave he gave off. Few of the ponies couldn't take it and fell down with other holding on to each other and the fillies to hold on to their sisters.

When the wave finished they were able to see the fire demon clearly. Freighting them all by his size and the power he was giving off far more greater than the two sister and tirek that absurd almost everyponies magic. Stone heart and the guards pulled out their shields and swords but unlike him that was keeping calm his guards and the ones that were healed were shacking and sweating a storm.

Berial looked and saw them all. His burning eyes looked right at the two sisters, he yelled out his voice pushing back the ponies except Nero and Dante "Princesses Of Equestria. I've Come To Wipe Your Weak Species Off The Face Of the World
"

Beria waved his mighty sword making the grass catch on fire around him. Nero was having a hard time to compensate what was going on and how a demon from a game was here "The hell is going on? I can understand those demons before but the hell is this guy doing here! Shouldn't he be in the game, not in real life!"

"Give Up Know And I'll Make Your Deaths Easy And Simple" Berial said making the ponies even more scared then before.

Celestia was having a hard time too. She couldn't face berial as she is know even if it wouldn't do much "How could have I forgotten. He's the reason canterlot suffer so much and killing most of my guards and ponies!"

The girls were fearing the outcome of this new demon that's making their princesses seem tiny to a giant "What about discord. He could do something right?!" rarity said trying to keep everyponies hopes up.

"Discord is on his vacation and won't be back till the next day" Fluttershy said dashing everyone's hope. They didn't know what to do but good thing they had something better,

"Don't worry" They turned to Dante and Nero "I'll take this guy out just like his little army" The girls gasped with celestia and Luna eyes widen. Dante looked to the guards "You can put away the swords. I'll take care of it" The guards didn't know what to do and did what Dante said except stone heart not thinking Dante was serious.

"Are you insane!! You heard the princess, he's the reason why they lost!"

"That may be true but who's to say I can't beaten him, not you" Drake pointed at stone heart as he steps back thinking Dante has lost his mind. He may have beaten the army but this was the leader of that army. Stone heart didn't think Dante could do it.

Nero was watching berial until he saw something behind him disappear not giving Nero a good look at it but then he felt something moving around the field and didn't like it.

Dante summoned rebellion on his back "Don't you all worry. I won't let this fire cat get close" he started to walked off to berial. The girls and princesses were about to say something but Nero grabbed Dante's hood, pulling him back and surprising him

Dante looked to face Nero "The heck man. Why did you do that" just like him everypony else were confused by Nero actions.

"Because. I'll take on the demon" this shocked everypony mostly Applejack, Fluttershy, and Luna. Twilight, pinkie, rarity, and rainbow just like everyone else was shocked and worried when Dante just didn't mind and face the fire demon.

Nero let Dante go so he could face him "What? why should you get to face the boss" Dante wined like a child making Nero roll his eyes.

"I only faced 13 demons while you got 50" Nero moved pass Dante that wasn't liking Nero's reasoning but knowing he wasn't going to change his mind "And even so it's not like your going to stand around and do nothing"

Dante didn't understand what Nero was saying "What are you talking ab-" that's when he felt it. Just like Nero he knew it was a demon but it was moving around unseen.

Know understanding Dante smirked "Alright. You get to face the burning hair ball, I'll deal with the invisible demon" Nero nodded to Dante and was about to walk off but Luna stopped him.

"Wait!" Nero turned to look at Luna being helped by her sister "You can't do this. He's different from any demon we have ever faced, you'll be killed if you fight him!" Luna didn't what Nero to get hurt because of herself and everypony else. She didn't know why she cared for this unknown human that was fighting for her ponies.

"Please" He turned to see Fluttershy also not wanting Nero to get himself killed "I don't want you to fight and possibly get killed" small tears started to show on the corner of her eyes that surprised Nero.

Applejack like the two found herself liking Nero and said "Partner think this through! You could die by this demon"

Nero looked away. He rubbed his white hair around, confused by this "These ponies care to deeply. They just met use and are worried? Their nothing like the humans back home" Nero shook his head a little shocked at the way he phrased it "Damn is my mind changing?!" Nero whispered.

He felt the ground shake making the ponies gasp. He looked to see berial walking slowly towards them "No time to think about this"

Nero turned his body but looked back at the three mares "You don't have to worry about me" He walked off surprising all of the ponies because he was heading to the huge demon "This won't take long" Nero's eyes harden, unlike his funny friend Nero always take his fights seriously, he wasn't the type to lose.

He walked over to Berial. Berial saw him and stopped, his flaming body still burning the grass getting closer to Nero. Nero gripped red queen and placing the tip on the ground. When he was close to the fire he turn his body and swung his sword on the ground. Creating a powerful wave of wind and dirt that blew away all of the fire. It even pushed back the ponies behind him.

(Stop it at 1:07)

The action shocked the ponies and grabbed berial's attention. Nero placed red queen on his shoulder and got closer to berial that was looking at him.

"Sorry but I don't think they would like having their homes burned downed by your fire" Nero quipped.

The Fire Demon Could feel a strong power coming off of Nero "So... Your the reason why this town insist destroyed, and my demons killed off" Beria said gripping his blade.

Nero notice the action but didn't mind it "Nope that would be Dante that took care of that. I just took care of the ones that pussed out from fighting him and tried to sneak pass"

Berial growled "How dare this thing talk to me like this. He should be shaking like the rest of the ponies. Fearing my power that was able to best the pony sister in combat!"

"Do you know who I am?" Berial started to make a speech "I am one of the most powerful demons in Tartarus. I am known by many as the bringer of all fire, the tyrant that rules the bottom of Tartarus, one of the greatest demon warrior of all ti-"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it your a powerful demon. Can we please get this started already I want to relax and sleep the day off" Nero said interrupting Berial's speech. Berial’s whole body erupted in flames.

"You little insignificant bug!" Berial raised his sword with Nero taking red queen off his shoulder "Die!!!" He thrusted his giant fire sword at Nero. What happened next shocked berial and the ponies watching.

Nero did the same and thrusted red queen at berial's sword stopping it in it's tracks. The impact blew everything around them. They stayed like that for a few seconds till Nero put a bit of power in his arm and shoving berial back, making the huge demon step back and catch himself.

Berial looked back at Nero in shock but that changed into rage when he saw Nero smiling at him "Futile pest, you will suffer the wrath of Berial!" his body started to burn bright forcing the ponies to move far away from the up coming fight "I, the conquer of the fire Hell!" Berial roared out. Nero got into a stance ready to put this bad kitty down for good.

Dante saw what happened, he chuckled to himself "I swear it's like his cool factor just rose from that" unknown to the ponies Drekavac was already on them. The dreamrunner could have killed anyone of the ponies but set it's sights on the princesses.

He saw how weak celestia and Luna looked, he was going to attack but stopped when he saw the other pony princess twilight sparkle. He change his mind killing her instead and going for the other two soon after. Drekavac slowly appeared behind twilight while the ponies were watching Nero and Berial.

He pulled one of his blade in his right hand through the portal, Drekavac was going to pull his blade back and stab twilight through the chest but Dante was there for a reason. He kept his senses on the demon and waited for the right moment, when he felt a change and pinpointed the demons position he reacted.

Dante spun around with ebony in his left hand and fired at where he felt the demon was. The action was too fast for anypony to react, the bullet went passed twilight’s ear and right for the demon head. Drekavac was able to see and block the bullet with his blade. Between those actions everypony soon jolted from the ring of the shot and twilight getting startled and jumping to the side.

That was when everypony notice the dreamrunner making the mares in the crowd scream. They all moved away fast, the demon looked to Dante but got confused because he wasn't there. Drekavac had a weird feeling to look up, he did and was glad.

Dante was in the air heading towards the demon while it wasn't looking, Dante saw that the demon notice him and dropped fast to the ground to cut off it’s head but he was to late. Drekavac was able to sink into the portal right when Dante got close, Slamming the ground were the demon was.

Dante stood back but "Dammit I missed. Guess this won't be easy as I thought"

The group walked over to Dante, scared and worried "The heck was all that about!" rainbow said trying to not seem scared but just afraid like the rest.

"It would seem that there were two demons wanting to wreck this place" this got the guards to look around and make the ponies even more scared.

"It's him sister" they looked to Luna "The one that's killed our best guards back in canterlot" Luna looked even more scared then before. That was when a portal appear in front of them, they all look to see the dreamrunner in full display. His feature made fluttershy almost faint and rarity to almost pass out from how disgusting his cloths looked.

The demons head shook and turned to each side like a broken machine. It's bloody eyes looked at each of them. The fillies look about to cry from how scary Drekavac looked. Dante like Nero remembered this demon from the game "The fuck is going on? first Berial in DMC4 and know this freak from my game, how the hell is this possible!?"

Dante saw the demon stretch out both of it's arm making two portals appear, he stuck them inside and pulled both of it's blade out "This isn't the time to think about, I'll beat this hobbit looking freak just like in the game" Dante smirked and walked forward to the skilled demon.

"Tell me something" Dante whipped out Ebony&Ivory at the same type, striking a pose "Are you ready to die" Drekavac made gurgling and scratchy noises that everypony heard making them step back, a look of disgust on their faces.

Dante raised an eyebrow at the demon, guessing that's how he talks "Hmm. Alright then" He fired straight at the dreamrunner without warning. Drekavac reacted fast and blocked every bullet while run right at Dante. When he got close Dante quickly switched to rebellion and tried getting a swing in.

Drekavac warped before Dante could get close to slashing him. Dante looked to the ponies "All of you get back. I'll take care of this" They did as he said and moved away from the area near Dante. Stone heart ordered the guards to cover the front making a barrier around the girls, Princesses and ponies.

(Stop at 0:20)

Dante looked around Trying to senses were the demon would attack. He dropped his guard when he felt him stop in one place. He turned in time to see drekavac warp not to far away looking at Dante while doing the head thing. Dante turned to face him not liking the portal bullshit the demon was doing "Shit. This might take much longer than I Bargen for"

Dante cracked his neck and got into a stance right when drekavac warped back inside his portal, Dante knew that was when the battle started.

The ponies had two fights to watch. Luna, Fluttershy, and Applejack and half of the ponies watched Nero face Berial. While Twilight, Pinkie, rarity, and Rainbow dash and half of the ponies watched Dante take on Drekavac. Celestia switched between the two, not wanting to miss anything and see how powerful they are.

Nero ran head first at Berial not skipping a beat. Berial swung his sword at him but Nero dodge each swing. Nero revved the handle, heating red queen. He dash and slashed up cutting up berial's stomach to his chest. The slash wasn't deep but he still felt the pain and heat coming off red queen for reason unknown to the fire demon hurting him even though he was made out of fire.

When Nero got to his face he kicked the side of berial's face shocking everypony because the hit knocked the huge demons head to the side. Berial stepped to the side from the blow but then swing his arm at Nero having to raise his arm to take the hit. The attack knock Nero back to the ground but turning himself up right to land his feet on the ground.

Nero went back in when he touched the ground. He ran back at berial but instead of attacking in the air, he moved passed him and slashed his legs with more strength to leave a deep cut. Berial roared in pain, he started swinging his sword faster at Nero but each swing missed by Nero's was fast reaction time and speed.

Nero kept on slashing berial's legs. He then kicked one of his injured legs making the demon drop to one knee and giving him a shot to his face. Nero jump on Berial's shoulder, he first punched him with his devil bringer making berial again turn his head to the side, before berial could fight back Nero revved red queen. He flipped over his head and swung right at his left cheek.

Berial roared in pain from the big cut on his cheek. Berial touched it, stepping back to give himself space away from Nero. Nero dropped back on the ground, he placed red queen on his shoulder, giving her a few turns for his next attack.

Berial couldn't believe that he was facing something smaller than him and losing! "This is impossible! How could I, the conquer of the bottoms pits of Tartarus be put into the defensive by this small insect"

"If I'm a insect what would someone like you that's losing be. A germ?" Nero said, grinning and angering Berial further. The fire demon faced Nero, his body got hotter. Berial placed his arms close to his chest, Nero could feel he was generating power so he jumped back in time for berial to release a wave of heat stronger than before.

The blast pushed Nero back but didn't do much to him. Once again everything was on fire and the land was scorched. Nero looked around him seeing the land get even more destroyed by berial. He growled and look to the demon, his body heating everything around him "I will kill you and turn your body into ash!" Berial yelled out.

Nero Never liked the showy types, they always annoyed him the most. This gave him a reason to stop playing and kill berial faster before he sets the whole damn place on fire.

On Dante's side it was more like a game then a fight and he wasn't liking it. He would face the runner up close and fight him but then Drekavac would warp pass his hits and try to hit Dante from behind or from the side. Dante traded blows with drekavac, their blades hitting each other.

Dante Tried being creative by doing his combos, He slashed three times at drekavac, the last hit made the demon drop his guard. Dante spun around making his swing stronger but right when rebellion got close Drekavac would warp pass and moved around him.

“This might be the most annoying fight I might ever been in" Dante looked around to see were the demon would appear. The ponies watching Dante also looking to see were the dreamrunner would come from. Pinkie's tail twitched, she looked up above Dante to see the dreamrunner over him.

She yelled out "Above you!" Dante heard her and looked up to see the demon. The dreamrunner shot down at him. Dante stepped to the back, dodging the demon. The dreamrunner stood up and looked at Dante, it turned to him and it's head shaking, showing it's smiling mask at him.

With out warning The dreamrunner ran at Dante. He did the same but found the action not right "The hell is going on? First it want's to play hide and seek then it just runs at me wanting to throw down. Somethings not right"

The two fought, Dante moved passed a few sword swing and sending his own at the dreamrunner getting a few cuts in. Dante even did "High time" then did "Aerial Rave" and "Hellbreaker" dropping down with the dreamrunner and slamming him to the ground.

Dante stepped back, looking at the down demon. He found the whole thing to easy mostly cause how before it kept dodging his hit and know it taking them. The ponies were about to yell in victory but the dreamrunner got it's self up shocking them.

While it was getting up drake sensed around and felt the demon in front of him didn't have any energy, it was like a hollow shell. But then he felt the energy before slowly creeping towards the ponies.

Dante smiled and said "I see what's going on. Pretty clever" he pulled out ivory with his left hand. The fake demon got up and looked to Dante "Come at me you ugly skinny bastard!" The dream demon ran at Dante continuing the fight. Dante slashed leaving marks and bullet holes but the demon wouldn’t go down but he wasn't trying to kill it, Dante was passing time until the real one shows it's self.

Drekavac slowly moved around the area so Dante couldn't find him. He knew that in a up close fight it wouldn't go his way even though he was a good fighter, Dante moves were to fast and creative for him to get a hit in. He set his sights on the princesses and again went for twilight.

Dante knew were he was and moved just a little closer to the group to in act his plan. Drekavac was right behind twilight and just like before he was to quiet for anypony to hear or see him. This time he pulled both of his blades out in each hand, pulling back and right when he was going to strike Dante acted.

Dante dodged a swing from the fake runner then used "Stinger" piercing the demon, he kicked the demon with full force knocking it far away. Dante quickly turned around with ivory. Startled the ponies when he aimed right at them. He fired making them jump and for twilight to freeze when the bullet flew pass her once again but this time it hit it's mark.

The shot hit Drekavac's mask knocking the demons head back. twilight and everyone else moved away from the dazed demon. Not wanting to lose this chance Dante switched ivory for Ophion, he shot it towards drekavac the hook attaching to his face.

Dante gave a strong pull making Drekavac come to him. Dante pulled rebellion back, he shot right at drakavac and used "Trillion stabs" cutting and leaving stab marks all over his stomach, chest, He kept going until he had enough of stabbing. Dante dashed back and used "high time" cutting Drekavac in half.

Dante fell back to the ground, placing rebellion on his back making it disappear. He looked back to see the fake dream demon fade away "Feels good to kill that asshole. Warping around the place, what is this Portal" unknown to Dante a small white light shot into, the contents of this will be known later to the demonslayer.

Dante headed back to the others "So? You guys alright?" he was met with silence from them all. Dante was confused by this "Is something wrong?"

"Something wrong! You almost killed me!" twilight screamed. she seemed frightened and angry.

Dante sheepishly grinned "Well I guess that was a little dangerous"

"A Little!!"

"But... If I hadn't fired you would have had two swords going through your chest" Dante said finding his reason good enough.

"He does have a point there twilight" rainbow said, the others agreeing with her.

Twilight sighed calming herself down "Ok. your right, I shouldn't be yelling at you"

Dante waved off her apology "No you have a right to be angry. I'd be pissed if someone shot at me close to my head to" he smiled making twilight do the same looking into his eyes and finding them nice to look at. Their little moment ended when a loud boom rung out and a roar of pain coming near the forest.

They all looked to see Nero and Berial trading blows with their swords. Each hit rung out in the air, this went on until Nero while attack was revving the handle heating red queen further till the sword glowed red. When Berial swung his sword at him Nero timed it and used "Exceed Shuffle"

The attack was too strong for Berial to handle. It shot his sword high up in the air in his grasps, leaving himself wide open. Nero rushed him, he jumped in the air near Berial's chest and used "Exceed Streak" Slashing him across the chest making a line cutting deep close to his core that everyone could see.

Berial felt the attack, grabbing his chest trying to hold in the pain. The heat from Nero's sword was something new to the fire demon and he hated it. Berial took a few steps back so he could relieve the pain but Nero didn't waste time on letting him rest. He rushed him again, Nero jumped at his chest but instead of using his sword he used his devil bringer to form a huge arm, he punched berial right were he slash and sending the hulking demon off the ground and straight at the forest. Knocking down a few tress and inflicting more pain on berial.

Nero fell back to the ground on his feet. He placed red queen back on his shoulder, waiting for Berial to dig himself out of the trees he knocked him in.

The ponies were shocked. Some of the guards had their mouths hit the floor from the overwhelming strength Nero showed off. And for some reason the three mares watching felt hot from the show of power.

Stone heart's eyes widen "This doesn't make sense. How can he do that, he's smaller than that giant!"

"Because Nero's stronger, duh" Dante said matter of fact.

"B-but what was that thing that came out of his arm?" Fluttershy said. Shockingly pointing at his devil bringer.

"That was one of the abilities Nero has in his arsenal" they all listed to Dante.

Berial was able to push the trees off him. He got up on one knee, slowly getting himself off the ground. He looked up to see Nero walking over to him in a normal pace. The more he thought, the more it infuriated him that he was losing to some creature that just showed up, ruining his whole plan.

Berial stood back up on all fours "This wasn't suppose to happen. I was so close in taking equestria's magic point, all I had to do was kill the sisters and take everything they have. But You..."

Nero saw the fire in his eyes, finding it amusing "You and that other creature had to show, and ruin everything!!!" Berial's yell pushed Nero's hair back and scared the ponies "I Came out of Tartarus with the others to conquer a kingdom and that's what I'm going to do!"

Nero heard everything he said and raised an eyebrow at others "So he wasn't the only demon around then, and if their like him their probably trying to take control in other places" Nero wasn't able to think more about it because of Berial.

The fire demon saw how Nero was looking away, thinking that he wasn't listing and ignoring him. Berial's Body started to heat up once again but this time he was going to use his full power "I will not fall to an insect like you!"

"He was holding out on me" Nero put on a smile like Dante but it was more dangerous and Berial could feel it "It won't change the outcome demon. You will fall and die by my hands" Nero's devil bringer started to glow blue with his body doing the same, just faintly.

Berial coated his hand in fire and magma. He slammed his hand on the ground, that's when Nero felt the ground under him heat up. Reacting on time he stepped away just before a pillar if fire could give him a tan. he kept dodging the pillars till they stopped.

Right when they did, Nero looked up to see Berial rushing him like a speeding truck. He rolled passed him, pulling out blue rose and firing a few shots at Berial's head. He used “Charged shot” making berial feel the hit and knock his head back.

Berial covered his head with his left hand. He guessed were Nero was and jumped, slamming his sword at him. Nero "Table Hopper" Passed the hit. Making Berial and the ponies to believe Nero can phase through the sword. Nero Used "High Roller" combined with "Roulette spin" cutting more into Berial's body, berial tried grabbing Nero in the air but was jumped over by Nero's "Air Hike"

Nero Revved up and used "Exceed Double Down" on Berial's head. He roared in pain and tried to shake Nero off but he held on. Nero revved the handle, Berial felt the heat from the sword on his head dazing him from the action. Nero pulled red queen out of his head, the rough action hurting berial.

He was going to use his burst attack to burn and fry Nero, but he was interrupted when Nero jumped off berial head, he used "Exceed Calibur" cutting his right eye, stopping him from attacking. Berial grabbed his eye this time, he was going to roar in pain but Nero stopped him by using another "Charge Shot 2" Making the demons head fly back in smoke.

Berial took a few steps back from the shot. Still touching his eye with his free hand. Nero landed and waited to see what berial would do. He saw Berial shakenly letting his hand go. When the smoke died, Everyone cringed at the state of his face. The eye Nero cut left a big mark. His face had a few holes near his cheek and left eye. Nero could hear Dante laughing, he chuckled at his work.

Nero impaled red queen on the ground, he said "Feeling ok buddy? want me to even out the other eye for you?" Nero said fake care in his voice.

It was immediate. Berial's whole body went on fire again and he roared louder then ever before. Nero was close to him so he was pushed back from it and having to cover his face. The ponies had to take cover and hold on to each other to not be pushed back from the roar. Dante had twilight in his arms because of Berial's action.

When he was done Nero looked over his arm to see Berial huffing. He let his arms drop down "Tell me something. You got anymore tricks to show me?"

Berial growled, he moved his top half to the side positioning his sword. Nero saw this and pulled queen out of the ground right when Berial swung his sword right at Nero's side. Nero was able to jump over it but berial wasn't done, he spun and jumped. He was high up, he then dropped down faster than Nero's expected having him blocking the giant sword.

With Berial using his full power and combined with his jump the attack sent Nero down to the ground. When Nero's feet touched the floor, the ground cracked breaking apart. Shattering the ground around the two and almost reaching the ponies. Berial's sword was imbedded in the ground were Nero was.

"Nero!!" Luna yelled. Fluttershy's eyes widen with her pupils into pinpricks and Applejack covering her mouth with her eyes widen from the earth breaking attack from the demon. The ponies gasped, celestia was worried just like the others but Dante clamed them down "All of you stop worrying" Twilight notice that she was holding onto Dante, she blushed but was softly moved by him.

Fluttershy had tears in her eyes "B-But h-he's-"

Dante cut her off "Like I said don't worry. I've known Nero for years and if you think that would kill him, your all sadly mistaken"

Berial huffed and started to chuckle then laugh "Finally. That blow should had shattered his bones and Sliced him in half" Berials laughed even more "I did it! I Won!!"

But it was over lived by the shaking of the ground "I really hate it when villains just believe they won just like that" Berial's sword started to rise up off the ground. He quickly started to push down but was outmatched in strength. His sword was high enough to see Nero's head and chest, his legs were in the rocky earth.

The ponies started to cheer that Nero was still alive. The three mares sighed in relief the same goes for celestia, wanting to talk and get to know the two demonslayers "See what I told you. He's fine, the man wasn't even using his full strength in the fight anyways" what Dante said made all of the ponies look at him like he had two heads.

Celestia and Luna were the most shocked because they lost to Berial and Nero is know facing him not even using all of his power in the fight from the beginning.

Berial couldn't believe it, he put all of his power into hid last strike and it still didn't do much. It only got Nero's coat dirty and his hair more messy "H-how is this possible?! What Are You!!!"

Nero's body glowed more blue, he pulled one foot out of the ground. He groaned just a little "You could say I'm" Nero's devil bringer started to glow bright the same color blue with red outlines. This time Nero was the one to yell out, he forced his way up and knocking Berial back with his sword, the power from the push shock the demon because it was much more stronger than before.

Berial stepped back. The ponies gasped with the main six and Princesses doing the same. Berial was able to stop himself, he looked back at Nero but what he saw made him speechless.

Standing tall Nero's body was coated in blue aura all over his body. His devil bringer glowed bright. Nero's Grey blue eyes changed into a demonic red color that glowed in the night. But what got everyone's attention was the ghostly figure coming out of his body and over his head.

Berial and the two sister were the only ones to feel the power Nero was giving off, It was the same as Berial's but more calm and controlled than his, more controlled then the two sisters. The demonic spirit was bigger than Nero, it had two horns coming from the back of his head to the front, It's whole body looked to be covered in scales, in it's right hand was a sword they never seen before. Thin, long, and sharp, on it's left was a scarbbed looking thing on the side of it's arm. It was something they never seen before and would be printed in their minds.

Nero walked closer to Berial, making the fire demon step back "I'm kind of like you. Just stronger, faster, and better looking"

Berial dashed all hope of winning when seeing Nero's DT form. Nero slammed red queen into the ground. He revved the handle just twice. He pulled her back out "Let's end this shall we"

Not giving him a chance, Nero shoot his devil bringer at berial. The big arm latching to his head. Nero pulled making Berial step forward even though he pulled back. Nero's body was pulled towards the demon, he started doing "Aerial Combos" on his face. The spirt followed Nero's movement doing more damage.

Berial's face was being knocked around form every hit. Before Nero fell he placed red queen on his back and grabbing Berial's chest, his DT form protecting him from Berial's flames. He pulled and shot himself at his chin, he sent his devil bringer with the spirit doing the same punching Berial and sending up in the air from the blow.

Nero didn't stop and used "Air Hike" to get above his head. Before Berial could go down Nero grabbed his head, his demon spirit doing the same "Were do you think your going" Nero's spirit let him hover In the air. Berial was fading from conciseness from the attacks he got from Nero's "Aerial Combo" and the uppercut.

Nero pulled Berial's head higher and in a yell "Drop Dead!!" he pushed and sent Berial back to the ground, Slamming him into the hard dirt and destroying and up rooting the earth. Nero didn't stop, he dived bombed Berial's back with red queen and the spirit.

The action brought Berial back because of the pain. Nero started to rev Red queen till she was exceed. Berial's fire like body turned off like a candle from the sword. His body shook because of red queen in exceed mode. Nero concentrated, he gripped the handle and roughly pulled with his spirit out of Berial's back and dropping their swords back on his back harder and erupting his back with his demonic power.

Instead of a roar Berial screamed in pain, his senses failing and his body heat dropping down. The light from Nero's attack made the ponies look away. When it died down they all looked to see Berial's body flickering like a broken light bulb.

Nero turned his DT form off and pulled red queen out of Berial's back smoothly. He placed the sword on his back and jumped of the beaten demon. Nero looked back at Berial, most would think the demon would just die but Nero wasn't dumb. He pulled blue rose out and started to walk back to the ponies.

They started to cheer much louder when Dante killed Drekavac. The three mares that were worried also cheered, Luna didn't care if she seemed unroyal like she was happy to see Nero win and defeat the demon that attack them. Celestia smiled, glad that her ponies and kingdom was saved by Nero and Dante.

Unknown to the ponies Berial was still alive and he didn't want to die without taking a win "I will not die alone!" Berials head came off his body, turning back on fire and catching everyponies attention.

He shot after Nero. Everypony yelled to him right when berial was getting close "Die!!!"

This was what Nero was waiting for. He remember back in the game when the older Dante faced him and did the same thing. Nero turned around and aiming right at berial's head the action surprised the demon and ponies. Nero's devil bringer glowed much more meaning he was at "Charge Shot 3"

Right when Berial's head got close Nero turned blue Rose to the side and said like a badass "Jackpot" He grabbed the revolver with both hands and fired right at Berial, The bullet turning his head into flickering flames going passed nero's head blowing his hair softly.

Nero spun rose in his left hand and placing her in his coat. The ponies eyes widen from the whole thing, except Dante that found it cool and badass. Nero watched as Berial's body turn to flames, some of the fire evaporated and the rest formed into a ball. Nero saw the ball and remembered that in the game when you kill a boss you get a power up or a new weapon.

He stuck his devil bringer towards the ball. It started to fly to Nero slowly but then it shot right at him and when it touched his arm everything started to glow white around him. Nero closed his eyes because of the light. When he opened his eyes he felt something in his right hand, he looked, his eyes widen at the weapon he obtained.

It was a bow covered in molten rock and fire coming off it. Nero felt his spirit come back out and look to see it looked different than before. Instead of blue it was red, it wore a hood covering it's left eye, ghostly fire was coming off it's body, the horn on it's head was replaced with only one coming out of it's forehead. It didn't have a bow like Nero but a crossbow on it's left arm and flaming arrows on the bow.

Nero could feel the heat coming off his body and liked the warmth it gave off. He turned off his new DT form, making the bow disappear and his demon spirit. He headed back to see everyone staring at him, he didn't mind it and walked over to the main six, princesses and Dante.

He was first greeted by Dante that slapped Nero behind the back "Holly shit. That was freaking sick, the way you beat that demon was awesome!" Nero smiled at the praise.

"Thanks. How did it go on your end?" Dante turned his head with Nero following to see the dead dreamrunner body turned into black goop and evaporate.

"It was annoying at first but I still won in flying colors" Nero nodded to him. Nero was surprised when someone ran at him and hugged his back.

He turned his head and looked down to see fluttershy hugging his back. He could feel his back get wet figuring she was crying "I-I W-was s-so worried f-for you" she sniffled and whispered out to Nero that was able to hear her. Luna would have been the one to do what Fluttershy was doing but she was still hurt and tired. She just looked getting jealous that she wasn't the one to hug her savior.

Nero moved and turned around. Fluttershy moved with him and know having her face in his chest still crying. He placed his left hand on her head, he patted and rubbed her main softly "It's ok. I'm fine and everyponies safe" Nero had to force himself to not cringe when saying Everypony.

She looked up at Nero. The sight of her crying face almost made Nero's heart break just from how sad and cute she looked. Nero blinked his eyes for using cute as a description but let it slide, Nero started to feel awkward from how close she was and not letting him go "So... Are you going to let go or..."

Fluttershy eeped and jumped away from Nero "I'm s-sorry I don't know what came over me"

Nero scratched behind his head "It's alright. You were just worried about me" He heard snickering and looked to see Dante trying to hold in his laughter from how awkward the two were being. Nero glared at him, making him stop and turn away.

Applejack watched fluttershy and Nero getting along, it made her feel like she was losing in some way "Aw horse apples, I should have went in to see if he's fine" she whispered but applebloom was able to hear her talking.

"What you say sis?" bloom said startling applejack.

Applejack looked else where "I'm just thinking that Nero was mighty strong to face that huge demon"

Applebloom gasped in excitement "I know right! And the way he just punched him away was crazy, that monster was bigger than the barn and he still won!"

Applejack looked back at Nero, right when he was dusting himself and fixing his hair. Applejack sighed in bliss "You got that right~"

Celestia found it good for everypony to head to their homes. Everypony listened to her and started to head back to their houses. The demonslayers with celestia, Luna, Stoneheart and the guards went with twilight and spike for the night. The rest of the girls, and the fillies walked with them for the time being.

It didn't take them long to get to twilights castle. Spike and the fillies talked with Nero and Dante to pass the time, Dante found spike interesting because he was a dragon, the same with Nero but less showing like Dante that was looking spike all over and poking his spines.

It took twilight smacking Dante's hand away for him to stop. When they got to the castle that was when they said their goodbyes to each other.

"Well today was an interesting day but I got to get back to the farm. Don't want granny ripping the place apart for bloom"

"I can't stay out long either. My beauty sleep is very important for my daily care"

"And I have to clean up everything back at sugercube corner for tomorrow"

"I have to see if my animals are ok"

"so.... Tired!"

Each of the girls said their goodbyes. Nero and Dante did the same, They weren't able to see the blushes of the mares faces when they smiled and waved bye.

The rest went inside. Dante and Nero were baffled from how big the place was. They followed twilight to the rooms. She helped celestia and Luna, with the guards help in taking them to their beds. Stoneheart and the guards went to their rooms.

Nero and Dante were last and were placed to sleep in a room for them both. Nero waved good night to twilight and went inside his room to sleep the day off.

"Wow. He must be really tired" spike said as he watched Nero lazily wave and close his door.

"Spike he had to face a giant demon and keep back more from attacking everypony, not to mention the time they had to walk from whitetail to ponyville" twilight said making spike feel dumb.

"She's right you know" they turned to Dante, his shoulder against the side of the door "The guy had to face a powerful demon, he may have won with zero no problems but the day took a toll on both of use"

Spike scratched his head, not thinking it through "Yeah that makes senses"

Twilight moved up to Dante "I would like to thank you and Nero for saving everypony"

Dante grinned at twilight "It's fine. We didn't do it for the praise but because you needed it" twilight was glad at Dante's response, she thought the two were suspicious and probably dangerous. She was happy her thought's on them were wrong.

"I'm still trying to figure out how you two were able to fight and beat those demons without leaving a sweat, if it's alright do you mind if we can talk and ask questions?!" Twilight said in hope, her eyes wide and trying to get Dante to agree.

He found the action funny and cute. Dante moved close to twilight, he touched and moved her hair to the side. Giving him a full view of her face and making twilight blush from the contact "I wouldn't mind spending time with you, Princess~"

Dante let twilight's hair go back over her eyes. He went back to the door, walking inside "Night you two" he closed his door leaving the flustered twilight to stand in front of his door.

Spike saw the whole thing and was confused by it "Um twilight, are you ok?" Spike's voice was able to get twilight back on track. She turned and headed to their room "Let's go spike, time to sleep" spike just followed her.

When Dante flopped on the bed he fell completely asleep. Inside Nero's room he was thinking about what Berial said "I Came out of Tartarus with the others to conquer a kingdom and that's what I'm going to do!"

"He’s not the only demon roaming around. These others must be doing what berial tried to do" Nero turned his head to see the moon glowing in the night. He could tell it was different from the moon back on earth. It was bigger and perfect to see.

He smiled, feeling this world would give them both more than they bargained for. But Nero didn't care about the dangers but the excitement it would give. Nero looked back up at the ceiling, closing his eyes and falling asleep "Better make do at what we have. Can't think of the bad but the good It could give use" Nero got comfortable and went off to sleep.

Far off in the near distant kingdom of Griffonstone, A bipedal demon, walking on four legs was surveying the kingdom from a far.

"When will we attack. I want to taste the flesh of those griffons!" He turned to looked at his companion. The darkness of the night hide the demons face, only leaving the demons red glowing eyes and it's four glowing wings. The demons voice was deep and rigged.

"We'll attack in day break" he pulled out a huge canister in his right hand "Attacking from behind is one of the most favored tactics in the book"Soon enough more eyes appeared in the darkness around the two demons. The first smiled, it's knife like teeth showing in the dark.

"Those birds won't know what hit them" He started to laugh the same as the second in the night. Soon another kingdom will face a demon attack.

Chapter 6 Questions and More Demons

Soon night turned into day. Inside the castle of friendship Nero was sleeping soundly, the sun rose and the light peeked through the window and passed the curtains. The light hit Nero right in the face, he scrunch up his face, the light waking him up from his slumber.

Nero sat up and rubbed off some of the sand out of his eyes. He signed and got off the bed and headed to the curtains. He moved them and was bath in sunlight, he looked out the window seeing some parts of ponyville outside. Nero yawn and thought "A new day in this strange world and in a body I've come to get use to"

Nero looked himself over and said "I forgot to take my coat off before sleeping, hope me and Dante can get ourselves some cloths other than this" Nero didn't hate the original Nero's clothing but living in a world not his and wearing the same clothing would not seem right to him.

He walked over and opened a door, he looked inside and notice it was a bathroom "Huh neat" he went inside and took his cloths off and took a quick shower. He got out looking clean and fresh, even washed his hairs. Nero put his cloths back on and brushed his teeth and hair.

He walked out of the bathroom, he grabbed red queen off the side of the bed and felt blue rose inside his coat and headed out the door. He opened the door and when he did the door Dante was inside opened also. Nero turned and saw Dante with his cloths on looking tired, hair messy, and bags under his eyes.

Nero chuckled silently when seeing Dante remembering that he was always up only to clean himself later. Nero walked out and headed to Dante with a grin "Morning sleeping beauty how was your sleep"

Dante slowly looked at Nero and smiled tiredly "Oh hey man. I slept like a rock, I just dove on the bed and passed out"

Nero nodded and heard commotion far down the hall, he turned back to Dante "Happy to hear that, why don't you go back inside and get your self cleaned up. Don't want to scare them with that haunting face you got"

Dante looked at Nero finding his words insulting but listen and went back inside "Psh, haunting? I look good tired or not. I'm fucking sexy!" Nero heard him and started to walk down the hall and towards the voices until he heard Dante yell out "Holy shit they have bathrooms in here too. That girl must be rich!" Nero chuckled from Dante's outburst and continued on walking.

Nero followed the voices and sensed two high levels of energy suspecting them both being celestia's and Luna's. He turned and was met with a dining room, all three princesses were there, spike, and the guards that got healed by the pony doctors. They were eating a normal breakfast, he notice spike was in the kitchen hearing the sound of his voice humming a tune.

Celestia looked up seeing Nero in the room "Ah Nero. I see you have woken up" This got everyone to stop and look at him. Nero walked pass the guards and took a seat next to Luna.

He looked over at celestia "Yeah, those beds were great. Better than mine"

Twilight smiled happy that her guest enjoyed her castle "Thank you, I'm happy that you were able sleep after what happened yesterday" twilight cringed and shuttered when thinking about it.

Nero nodded to her and looked over at Luna that was next to him. She felt his eyes on her and turned to look at him. She notice that he was much cleaner and could smell soap on him, nero said "Morning princesses. I hope you and your sister are feeling better"

Luna shyly nodded her head "Yes we-I and my sister are feeling much better" she said quickly, fixing her speech so nero doesn't notice. He did but didn't mind it.

Nero smiled and said "That's good, glad to hear that your both alright" this made Luna blush and return back to her food hastily.

"Yes, I thank you for your concern" how fast she was eating got the attention of both twilight and celestia and the female guards.

Celestia giggled at her sister "Luna slow down, you could choke from how fast your being" Luna stopped. She had some food in her mouth and swallowed it all down.

She coughed in her hand and returned to her normal self "Your right sister, I'm sorry"

Celestia waved her off "It's fine lulu, I'm just helping you from having everyone stare at you" Luna's right eyebrow rose, she looked around seeing everyone staring at her from her unknown eating craze. She blushed in embarrassment and went back to eating, she glared at her sister seeing her turn her head and hold in her laughter.

Nero heard her also and thought "These two may be princesses but act like true sisters" He heard the kitchen door open and out came spike with a plate of pancakes, and orange juice.

Spike set the plate down and handed Nero's food "Here you go! chefs spike special of pancakes with a side of juice" nero looked at his food, the pancakes were perfectly cooked.

He thanked spike "Thanks spike"

"No problem. I just hope Dante gets here before his breakfast gets cold" spike wondered.

Nero eased his worry's "Don't worry spike if I know Dante, and I do. He should be here once he gets a smell of your food" after nero said that everyone soon heard loud steps of someone running. They all looked and saw Dante come around the corner, he looked better with his face cleaned, hair washed but still messy, and coat on proper. He dashed pass the guards fast enough for them to not react to him until he went right pass them.

He stopped and grabbed his plate of food off of spike's and sat down next to nero and started eating. He stopped a few times to say things like "Oh god!" or "This is great!' while eating his four stack of pancakes. Everyone watched as Dante destroys his food while nero eats his without a care in the world.

Dante chewed his drank his juice finishing his breakfast. And just like in pinkie's party his stomach didn't rise. Twilight saw this and magic up her notebook and pencil and started writing things down. Right after dante was done nero finished his breakfast also.

Dante patted his slim stomach "Man that was good. Thanks for the meal little buddy"

Spike shook his head from the sight he just witness and took dante's complement. Spike grabbed both their plates and headed back into the kitchen to put them away. Nero notice that the guards after witnessing dante eat were eating a bit faster to, mostly the male guards "You can try if you like but no one can compete with dante when food is involved if he's hungry"

Nero turned to celestia seeing her finish with her breakfast and spike taking her plate, Luna's, and twilight's, he thought about the day and asked "So celestia what's the agenda for use today?"

Celestia heard nero and thought it would be good to tell him what they will be doing "Today we and the rest of the girls will be going to canterlot. I must rebuild and fix the damage the demons have caused our kingdom, and free my ponies from inside the bunker"

Nero nodded, dante jump into the conversation "So like are we going know or later?"

Celestia looked around, seeing that both her and her sisters guards were done eating and looked back to dante "Yes we know" she turned to twilight "Twilight can you bring the rest of the elements here"

Twilight got up and said "You can leave it to me" she saw spike come out of the kitchen and teleported to him "Come on spike we need to get the girls here so we can head to canterlot" she grabbed spike's arm and teleported out of the castle and to who ever first.

Dante saw what happened and said "Woah! did she just teleport, that so cool!" Nero found it interesting seeing this form of energy of some kind.

Celestia giggled at dante's reaction and said "That my dear hero was magic" both dante and nero looked at celestia in speculation.

Nero said "Um what?"

Luna answered him "That was magic young twilight used. Does your kind not use magic?"

Dante yelled out "We wished! things would have been way more awesome if we could use magic. Shooting laser and teleporting would have been great" nero rolled his eyes at his friends child like thoughts if humans could use magic.

"That would be freighting in the wrong hands either way" Nero answered Luna "No, our kind can't use magic because there is no such kind and some don't believe in magic"

Both sister and ponies guards found it unbelievable that there were creatures that could not use magic not even believe in it. One of the guards spoke out and said "But wait, what was that whole thing with the blue light around you. Was that not magic"

Nero understood that he was talking about his demonic energy flowing out of him "No that was something else' the same pony was about to ask something else but nero stopped him and said "And the huge figure behind me was also not magical" he let his arm drop after hearing his next answer be questioned.

Celestia and luna already knew that both nero and dante didn't have magic because they didn't sense any. but after feeling the energy nero displayed they both knew what it was but didn't press onwards into thinking they were evil, with them both saving their lives and ponies from the demons and hearing that they were demonslayers with no distrust in dante's voice when calling it out.

Soon a pop was heard and everyone looked to see twilight and the rest of the girls there. All of them were wide awake, well except rainbow dash that was sleeping on a cloud.

"I brought everyone here princess, I had to bring rainbows bed with her because she didn't wake up how many times I've tried" they all got up and went to the girls.

Nero and dante said their good morning to them and they back to them. Dante looked over at the sleeping rainbow and found her sleeping face cute. He knelt down to her ear and whispered "You have a cute sleeping face skittles" and just like that rainbow woke up and flew high in the air from the sudden voice of dante.

"No I don't, I sleep awesomely!" she had a blush on her face and notice everyone was there chuckling at her. She grumbled and flew down to twilight and said in a tried and angry tone "What the hay twilight I was trying to sleep"

Twilight apologized but told her she needed to bring everyone and had to bring her here while she was sleeping because she wouldn't wake up. Rainbow signed then said "Whatever, so why are we here"

Luna spoke out "We will be heading back to canterlot to make sure our ponies are alright and try repairing the kingdom" the girls nodded and was lead by celestia outside with nero and dante following. They made a turn to the two carriages, Stone heart ordered his men that had wings to take one carriage for the guards that can't fly and the other for the princesses, elements, spike, and demonslayers to ride inside.

They saluted and did as he command. Dante soon notice what was going to happened and said "Wait, so are they going to fly use there"

Twilight nodded "Yes they will be carrying use to canterlot and don't worry the carriages were covered in a weightless magic aura that will make for the guards to carry use through the air" nero was thinking about that until twilight said that and made him not worry about the weight the guards would be taking.

A female guard opened the door for them all. They stepped inside sitting down with celestia, twilight, pinkie, Dante, and rainbow on one side and the other with nero, applejack, fluttershy, rarity, and spike that was force to sit on twilights lap making dante snicker at the baby dragon.

The guards that can't fly walked inside the second carriage and were ready to head off with the Pegasus and bat ponies that were going to carry them. Celestia gave the ok and they were soon lifted in the air and off into the sky towards canterlot.

Dante moved over pinkie and rainbow, his body touching them making them blush a little while he looked out the carriage window. He looked out seeing them fly over the forest where the demons came out of "Man, this is pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of riding a plane"

Dante moved back and sat down, both girls letting their feelings brush by and their blushes fading away. Rainbow and the rest heard dante and she said "Plane? what's that"

Dante answered her question "A plane is a huge metal machine that transport people through the sky. Something our kind created for not having wings"

They listen and were intrigued by this usage of technology. Twilight still had her notebook and wrote down what dante said and asked if he could tell more about his kind. Dante didn't mind and told them the things humans have created and done over the year.

While he was doing that nero looked out the carriage feeling the wind hit his face, liking the feeling of cool air on his skin. He started thinking about the other demons beriel said and wondered what they were doing or where they are right know as the carriage gets closer to canterlot.

Griffonstone Kingdom

King black beak the griffon king of griffonstone was a tall griffon, his wings and head feathers were black nad his beak gold, the bottom half of his body was lion like, the fur being gold; he was wearing a regal king clothing of black and brown. He was looking over his paper work while being escorted to the dinning room by his griffon guards. They opened the door for him and walked inside to the dining room table and seeing his wife white feather her head and wings completely white her beak yellow and lionlike bottom half brown. She was wearing a yellow and white dress eating her breakfast.

She looked up seeing her husband walk in and smiled "Morning my love, how are you feeling?"

He sat down next to her and signed, a chef came in and handed the king his food and walked away. Black beak took a bite and said "I'm feeling well my love. The paper work is almost finished" he looked around and notice his daughter wasn't there with them "Feather were is cheeriest?"

White feather took a sip of her milk and said "She came here early, ate and went out"

He signed again when hearing this "How many times do I have to tell her, come and eat with her family. I swear that girl is doing this on purpose"

White feather chuckled at her husband "Oh don't be like that, the girl is getting older and you know how they get when they get to that age. And don't worry I sent guards to watch over her just incase"

Black beak understood what she meant. His daughter is becoming a teen, and he knew this when he was her age. They soon finished their breakfast and walked out of the dining room together. He talked about the important of their royal states "I know that but she must know that she is royalty there are things she must do to uphold her rank. I care for her deeply but she must take her life more maturely"

White feather nodded "That is true but don't forget she is know a women and you know what that means" she waved her eyebrows up and down. black beak widen his eyes and was going to say something until a loud explosion was heard far off, rattling the whole kingdom. Black beak grabbed onto feather making sure she does not fall.

The rumbling stopped and they were able to steady themselves. White feather spoke in a scared worry tone and said "What was that?"

Black beak answered "I do not know we must-" then a platoon of royal griffon guards ran to the royal couple with captain granite in the lead. He had a worry look on his face, when he got to them "Your highnesses we are under attack!"

Feather gasped and black beak spoke in a commanding voice "Who!"

Captain granite spoke one work that widen both griffons eyes and fearing the worse for their kingdom "Demons"

Soon they were seen flying through the castle and to a balcony looking over the kingdom. Black beak and white feather looked out to see demons running amuck and setting homes on fire at the outer kingdom. Black beak turned to granite and said "I what all guards and soldiers out and take out as many demons they see. And a pack to fly out and move all citizens away from the carnage" Granite saluted and ordered his men out. Feather was more worried for their daughter that was out there.

"What about cheeriest, She's still out there!" She said making black beak worry even more that his only child was out while the kingdom is under attack.

He ordered granite once more "I want you and a group to find my daughter and bring her here"

"Yes your highnesses" granite nodded and flew off to find cheeriest wing.

Black beak ordered a griffon scout to him. One came and he said "I want you to head to canterlot, inform princesses celestia that my kingdom is under attack and need help. Go Know!"

The griffon scout nodded and flew off and headed to canterlot. Black beak watched as more demons rush in, he followed where they were going and saw that the were coming from the woods. He looked closely seeing two eyes looking at his kingdom, one being a set of blue and the other orange, he feared that his home will be destroyed if help doesn't come soon.

Back with the Group

They were getting close to canterlot, nero watched the scenery as they flew. Fluttershy watched as nero looked out seeming he was thinking about something. She could not ask because she was to shy but applejack that was sitting next to him also notice this and asked.

She patted nero on the shoulder grabbing his attention "You alright there partner?"

Nero answered "Yeah just thinking and enjoying the view"

"Mind telling me what you were thinking about" she hoped that nero would tell her, this would give her a chance to get to know him better.

"Sure, I was just thinking if there will be anything else that might happen. Seeing how your kind got attack who knows if there will be more problems while being here" nero spoke honestly to applejack. She could tell because of her element and thought what he said and responded back.

"Well I don't know about that. Equestria has had its far share of problem that happened randomly But I like to think positive with those around me" they both looked around and saw dante talking too the girls he was sitting with. Rarity being apart of it and fluttershy nodded when asked something.

Nero understood what applejack was talking about. They both look at one another "Your right, if something does happen we'll take care of it when it comes. But it doesn't hurt to be ready before it happens"

Applejack smiled that she was able to help him out of his thoughts "Well I know with you both here, we don't have to worry about a think"

Nero chuckled "Don't worry applejack I'll keep you safe" nero said slyly making the apple farmer blush with nero having his focus on her.

She huffed with her blush still on "I can take care of myself thank you very much. And call me AJ, almost everypony calls me that"

Nero did see that applejack seemed more the strong willed women type and respected that "You got it AJ" nero said smoothly making her blush more with him calling her by nickname.

"Princesses we're here" Everyone looked out from the side. Canterlot stood out as a beautiful and bright kingdom but because of the demons the city if canterlot was almost destroyed. They could see some building knocked down and the streets littered with mud and dirt from the battle, some pony guards lying on the street dead making the girls gasp.

Fluttershy covered her mouth, shedding small tear "Oh my goodness!"

"As you can all see the battle was uncontrollable and brought death to many of our ponies" Luna said in grief.

One of the Pegasus guards carrying them yelled out "Princesses I was just told by captain stone Heart that he saw survivors" This grabbed everyone's attention.

Celestia ordered "I want use to head to them immediately" The guard said "Yes princesses" and relayed the message to the second carriage. They dropped down to were stone heart saw the survivors, They landed and all got out to see 30 pony guards injured but standing.

They limped to them while the group get to them. One off the injured guards spoke in graduated and was happy that the princesses were fine "Princesses we are lucky that you have gotten away" the female guard said.

"No you all are the lucky ones. How did you all survive" celestia asked, one of the guards answered her question.

"It was when you fled. The giant demon that attacked left use and ordered his army to chase after you and went inside the forest. Leaving use to die" But then a earth pony stallion spoke up.

"If not for the whole unicorn platoon using their healing magic we would have died from our injuries" So it would seem that the unicorns used their magic to heal both earth and Pegasus ponies so they could help the unicorns right after, twilight summarized and found the whole thing smart.

Celestia gave praise to her ponies that took the gratitude. One of the guards that was a unicorn stallion saw both Nero and Dante, spooked when seeing them and because they were close to the girls and princesses "Princess may I ask who or what are these two" he pointed at them both inflicting the rest of the guards to get on there's hooves when noticing them.

Nero and Dante didn't see them as threats because they were still injured. Luna was the one to answer "These two are the reason why ponyville was not destroyed and why me and my sister are here and safe"

The guards listened but could not believe that two unknown creature faced the demons and lived. "Are you sure princesses" Celestia gave her two cents.

"My sister speaks the truth. We all watch them both face the army that's attack our home, and defeat the two demon leaders that's tried to take canterlot. The elements, guards, and we both were there to see this happen first hand" the guards could not believe it but if the princesses say this than to them it was true.

They all looked at the demon slayers in wonder. Dante waved at them and said "Sup" while nero looked around looking at some of the homes and buildings that stood standing.

Celestia saw that they had some bruises and rapped up cloth around were their cuts and marks the demons they faced have caused.

Her horn started to glow "I will know heal you all much better" her gold aura surrounded all 30 guards, in 10 seconds she was able to heal them all. The guards with them helped unwrapped their bandages.

When that was done stone heart came up "Alright I want a group commanded by night walker a thresal female guards to help clean and move stones and house parts out of the streets and road"

20 guards stepped up and went with night walker to clean around canterlot.

Celestia came up behind stone heart "Good idea captain" stone heart saluted. She looked at the rest of the ponies "We will head to the bunker to bring out canterlot citizens know that everything is safe.

They all nodded and went with them. The guards that just first seen nero and Dante watched them and spoke to their fellow guards about them. They talked about what the two did and how they faced the demons while they looked around the place.

Dante whispered to nero "Man, they did a number to this place. I only counted 6 homes that stood standing and 4 shops that weren't destroyed"

Nero did the same "Same here. But what matters is that not many were killed than everyone thought. A quarter half of their guards were killed leaving the rest. Lives matter more than homes that can be rebuilt" nero was right, the girls and princesses that focused their ears to them agreed with him.

Dante also agreed but than saw a shop that sells donuts that was ransacked and destroyed, he frowned like a sad puppy "They destroyed a donut shop. That's just messed up in so many levels"

Twilight and pinkie looked over at the shop and both said "Nooo!" At the same time.

Pinkie yelled out "Not the donuts!"

Twilight was sad for her favorite shop was destroyed "I hope donut joe is alright"

Dante almost laughed out loud when hearing the name. He was finding their pony names more and more ridicules "Oh my God, these names are going to make me laugh if they get even more weirder"

Nero didn't care much on the name but mainly on where they were going. Soon they made it to the castle. Nero and Dante have never seen a castle before but the one they looked upon was beautiful.

Celestia notice them looking at the castle, with their own looks of surprise and wonder "I see you both are surprised of me and my sister's castle"

Dante said "I'll say, it's way bigger than Twilight's. We saw it from afar but up close it's crazy"

Nero said "We've never seen a castle before. But this one may just be on the top of our list of castles never seen before"

The royal sister were glad that the two appreciated their home. The guards opened the door for them "You both will get to see inside and out of the castle. Let use free thy citizens" they all walked in and followed the sisters.

While they walked Nero and Dante looked the place. Twilight started to tell them about the floors and the things the castle has to offer.

Soon they stopped to a wall close to the throne room door. Both princesses horns glowed and a hidden door was reviled and opened for them all.

Dante found this cool like in those spy movies "Sweet hidden passage way" then he started to sing the mission impossible song with pinkie joining in surprisingly knowing the simple verse for reasons unknown.

They walked forward with the two in the group saying "Dunt dunt, dunt dunt!, dunt dunt" while they walked inside.

They went down the steps. When they got to the end they were met with the pony citizens in a big open space with food and water for them to eat and drink and tents to sleep in.

One of the ponies that saw them yelled out "Princesses!" getting them all to turn and head over to them.

While canterlots citizens moved to the royal sisters, a light purple mare with light blue highlights in her dark purple mane ran over to the girls "Twilight! Spike!" twilight and spike saw her and hugged the mare together.

"Starlight! I'm so glad that your safe" twilight said.

Starlight moved away "I'm glad to, when the demons attacked I was with celestia the whole time. Then she transported use here"

The citizens all praised the two princesses glad that they were alright. One of the ponies that was a high class royal stallion said "Are they gone princesses, are the demons gone" they silently waited for celestia's answer.

Celestia made sure that their worries be forgotten "Yes my ponies, the demon army was defeated by two brave warriors. The ones that saved use and protected ponyville, demonslayers Nero and Dante" she moved her hand towards the two.

The girls moved away for the citizens to see them both. They were shocked to see beings they never seen before. Starlight thought the same "Twilight, what are they?"

"There humans. Well that's what they say" twilight said not really believing them.

Starlight soon thought they were evil "So you think their both lying. Are they dangerous!"

Twilight shook her head "I believe that they aren't telling use the whole truth when we first met them, but I don't think their evil. If they were then ponyville would have been destroyed" Starlight redundantly agree but kept her eyes on the two.

Dante smiled, liking the attention "No big deal just took on an army all by myself. No biggy" he acting like it wasn't a big deal but actually a very big deal to them.

Nero saw them start to fear them when Dante said that, making them think they may hold I'll intentions. He made sure they didn't by saying "Don't worry me and Dante helped because we wanted to and nothing else"

But another high class stallion didn't believe Nero, thinking that no one would face something dangerous without wanting something like them "Yeah right. You think we would believe you" some of them thought the same but Luna made sure that they understand.

In her own way of course "Do not let your own egos get to you. Nero and Dante tell the truth, if not we would not be here and the demons would have taken not just canterlot or ponyville but all the other pony city's and villages"

They listen and if Luna believed them than they would also, well some did while others didn't trust the two nonpony creatures. Celestia came up "Now I will drop the magical dome in here so I can teleport use back to the top" she canceled the magical protected dome than used her magic to teleport them back to the top.

They appeared, some that were not unicorns felt dizzy but shook it away. This didn't affect Nero or Dante because of their demonic healing taking away their dizziness faster than anyone.

Luna ordered stone heart to escort the ponies out and help with the cleaning. He nodded and informed her he will also bring in help from building ponies to get started in repairing the homes.

This left with the girls, princesses and demonslayers. Dante looked around not knowing what to do "So what know?" He asked.

Twilight knew what to do and it excited her. Her favorite thing to do "Know we ask questions about you both"

Nero and Dante looked at her in uncertainty. Celestia nodded "She is right, we like to know about you both seeing as you helped use but don't know you at all or what you are"

Nero and Dante looked at each other thinking about it. They sensed what the other was thinking and nodded.

Dante spoke first "Sure we'll answer your questions" that got a smile in them all mostly twilight.

Than Nero said "Unless we get to answer our own questions. We don't know anything about this place so it would be far if we asked questions also"

Twilight nodded "Of course. It wouldn't be far if we were the only ones asking. But you must be honest"

Nero looked at her evenly making her jump "We will, but there are somethings we can keep to outs selfs"

Twilight agreed scarily. Nero dropped his look and accepted. They walked to a place were they could talk.

They were lead to a room with books and chairs. They all sat down, twilight pulled out a notebook and pencil with her magic and was the first to ask her question.

"Ok firstly, can you tell use who you are again"

Nero spoke first thinking he would use his fake name and use his real last name with it "My name is Nero Blake. I'm 20 years old, I'm 6.3 making me taller than dante"

"And I'm Dante caliber, you know the handsome one" Nero socked Dante on the side "Ow! Alright, I'm 19 and 6.2 making me younger and an inch shorter than nero"

Twilight wrote it all down and looked over at applejack. She saw twilight look over at her and said "Their not lying twi" when she said that twilight nodded but this captured the two slayers.

Dante asked "What do you mean not lying?"

Twilight answered "You see applejack has an ability to tell when someone is not telling the truth, we just wanted to make sure your keeping the end of your deal"

Nero looked over at applejack, wanting to know if twilight was telling the truth "She's right, I can tell when someone not being honest. Sorry for not telling you before hand"

Nero let it slide thinking it was actually smart of them but seeing as it didn't work because they did lie "Our demon powers must be the reason some how, good thing too"

Dante asked a question "Ok than how do you have this power"

"That would be our connection to the elements" twilight said.

Nero raised one eyebrow "Elements?"

Celestia explained "You see the six of them are connected to equestria's shield, the elements. Combined together they have defeated many forces of evil"

Dante said "Huh, so like you guys are like heroes than"

Rainbow took that as a compliment "Awesome heroes. We took down many villains that tried to take equestria and kicked their flanks"

Dante found it interesting "That's cool. Guess were in the presence of heroes Nero think I should ask for their autographs" Dante said jokfuly making the girls giggle.

They got back to asking question with celestia asking "Where do you two come from" they both looked at each other believing they could not dodge this question.

Nero said "You see that's the think. We don't belong here"

Rarity like the rest were confused "What do you mean darling"

"Me and Dante are not from this world but another one" this surprised them. Celestia and Luna somewhat knew that they must have came from somewhere they have never been before because they have never seen anything like them over the many years in their rule.

Twilight asked "Then were do you come from and how did you both get here?"

Nero spoke again by changing the truth a bit and with Dante following behind " You see both dante and I live on a planet called earth, and born in separate parts of our world. We met at a young age in a orphanage. We became friends and when we got older found out we had powers"

"We worked together and went around taking down demons that have caused death and destruction around our world. Yesterday we took a job on our world to take care of a demon. We encountered the demon and fought it, we kick his ass and was about to finish him, but then he pulled a fast one and opened a demonic portal back to hell"

"Hell is like your world's tartarus just worse" Nero informed them. Making them scared of the fact of a place worse then tartarus.

Dante continued "Both Nero and I killed the asshole right when he tried opening it but he still did. The damn think was all messed up but sucked use both in, when we went through we thought we were in hell but instead inside some forest that you called white tail"

Twilight connected the dots out loud for the sisters and getting a understanding of how this came to them getting here and to them in ponyville saving them.

Nero asked a question "Tell use about equestria, are there other places besides canterlot. Any other kingdoms out there?"

Celestia answered "Yes there are 9 other kingdoms in equestria. Theres the crystal empire, the griffons closes to use called griffonstone, the other is the minotaur kingdom minos, yak kingdom yakyakistan, dragon kingdom flamerock, the hippogriffs from mount Aris, the nonevil channeling kingdom southwest from here in the bearn realm, the ariban ponies in sattle Arabia, and the zebra kingdom Sititch"

Luna than spoke up "Those are the kingdoms in equestria but who knows, there could be a chance that there are other kingdoms or empires besides the ones here"

Nero was surprised that there were many creatures besides ponies in this world. Not to mention some of them are mythical creatures also.

Dante was interested in seeing these different types of sentient creatures. Dante asked "So are there other pony cites than this"

"Yes" celestia said "There's cloudsdale, fillydelphia, manehattan, trottingham, hoffington, appleloosa, manechester and many others"

Both Nero and Dante looked at them like they were crazy. Nero hide it with a normal poker face look while Dante tried understanding the names of the cities.

He moved close to nero and said "Is it just me or did those places sound like ours"

Nero responded "I don't know about this cloudsdale place but the others are like ours just pony named"

"Is something wrong?" fluttershy asked.

"Nope just remembering the name of those places" Dante said "I got nothing else to ask, do you" he looked over at Nero.

Nero thought and said "Is there a way we could get ourselves a place to live"

Both sisters smiled "For saving use that will be one of the things we will do for you both, we will even build the home in ponyville for you two" celestia said.

"Then that's all I have to question. Anything else you want to know?"

Celestia found this the right moment to ask. She looked over to Luna and saw her nod her head to her signaling to ask, celestia put on a serious look on her faced that got everyone to focus on her.

She said "Can you tell use what you both really are" this confused the girls but surprised the two demonslayers.

Nero completely knew what she meant "How did she know?" he thought back to ponyville and he found out "It must have been when I used my DT form, she likely sensed my demonic power"

Dante was not understanding and said "What do you mean?"

Luna said "When we first met you both. You two said you were humans but we believe you hide the truth from use, we would like to know what you both really are"

Dante and nero didn't really know if they should. The girls looked over at them waiting for there answer.

Nero sighed getting them all to look at him. He thought it wouldn't matter if they tried lying seeing how the princesses could figure it out "We lied. Were actually not human, well somewhat"

Twilight asked the big question "Then what are you two"

Nero said "Both Dante and I are part demon" this got the girls to gasp, this also surprised the sisters knowing it but still surprising to here it"

Applejack said "Wait part demon, so than you two aren't completely demons"

"No. I'm part demon and human" He showed his devil bringer, grabbing there attention and giving them a good look at the glowing blue and black scaled arm "This arm is apart of my demon side when I was born"

They looked to Dante. Pinkie asked "So are you part demon and huemon too danty"

Dante chuckled "Actually no" they were confused so dante explained "I'm actually part demon and angel, a Nehalem" the girls were shocked to hear this. The sisters looked at dante in shock. They knew what an angel is from the books from starswirl.

Twilight spoke how crazy it is "What! B-but that's impossible there have been no discovery of angels from long ago, the only pony to witness an angel is starswirl himself"

Dante laughed at twilight's exaggerated claim "Well know you get to meet one, well half of one I mean"

Rainbow asked "Then wait so does that mean you two were born from two different creatures?"

Nero nodded "That's right. My father was a demon and my mother was a human. While dante's father was also a demon but his mother an angel"

The girls, spike and princesses said "Wow" all together except twilight that was writing it all down in her notebook too fast for anyone to follow.

Celestia gave her gradatute to them both "I thank you both for telling use about yourselves"

Dante was confused he thought they would be scared of them being part demon "So your not scared of use?"

Twilight was done writing and said "Of course not. Have you forgotten you fought and protected everyone in ponyville and saved both princesses you already earned our trust"

Nero and Dante smiled together, happy that their worries from being part demon didn't bring problems.

Celestia and Luna got up, Luna said "Why don't we give you a tour around the castle. This would give you a chance to know about the place when ever you come or if we need you for something"

The two agreed and everyone got up and followed the princesses around the castle unknown to them a griffon was close to canterlot.

This griffon was shocked to see canterlot in such destruction. He saw the guards cleaning around with pegesaues flying around dropping off the rubble and unicorns and earth ponies moving them also.

The scout flew down to them. A pegesaues saw him and intervened "What business do you have here?" he ordered.

The griffon spoke in hast "I must meet the princesses urgently"

"Torrent sky's what's going on!" they both looked down to see stone heart looking up at them.

Torrent told the griffon to come with. They flew down to the ground were stone was at. Torrent saluted and said "Sir this griffon has come in urgent matters"

Stone looked to the griffon "What's the reason of you coming here"

The griffon said "Griffonstone is under attack by demons. My king black beak has sent me to inform the princesses and ask for help!" Stone heart and the other pony guards around could not believe the bad luck that the demons are attacking another kingdom besides there's.

Stone turned to his guards "I want the debris moved off the streets and roads before 1:00 and positioned in front of the castle"

He ordered, they all yelled out "Yes sir" and started to move faster. He turned to the griffon "Come with me, I'll take you to them" stone and torrent escorted the griffon scout to the castle.

Back with the group celestia and Luna escorted them to the throne room and show them the glass paintings.

Twilight told the two demonslayers that each glass shows who and how equestria was almost taken over but stopped with the help of her and the rest of the girls, using the elements to save the day.

She told the two about sombra, chrysalis, tirek, the storm king, and nightmare moon. Nero asked who she is but celestia said it was a touchy subject for her and mostly her sister, so Nero, even if he could piece it together didn't feel like doing it.

Twilight moved to the next painting that had a weird creature with miss matched body parts of different animals "And this is one of equestria's most unorcadox villains, discord the God of caos"

They both looked at it, and couldn't find anything dangerous beside how weird looking it was.

Dante said "Your telling me that this guy is a God. You can't possibly think I would believe that"

"Now, now, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I like to believe I do a good job in causing godly caos"

A voice spoke out startling the two demonslayers and pulling their swords out in a defensive way.

The voice chuckled at them "No need to be startled" in a pop the creature the two saw on the glass appeared right in front of them "Old dissy is here!" Tiny fireworks sparked behind him. Discord was tall about celestia's height, he had a stallions face, his left hand was a lions paw and his right a griffons claw, left food dragon like, and right foot a minotaur hoof, the top of his head had both an antler and horn, his back had two wings one bat like and the other normal, he even had a tail. He was wearing a brown suit, his tie white with different kinds of doted colors.

Nero and Dante ignored the sudden fireworks and was about to attack discord but twilight notice this.

She got in their way "Wait! Discord's not evil anymore he's good know"

They still kept their weapons out, but confused from thinking he was bad "I thought you said he was a villain" Dante said.

Twilight said "That's true he was evil, but that changed when he broke free again. With fluttershys help she "cured" discord and showed him what friendship means"

Discord cut in talking in fake shame and wallow "Yes that's true! The great and all powerful discord was defeated and changed by the sweet fluttershy"

He snapped his griffon claw and pop next to fluttershy "Not like I care I'm happy to be friends with her" he hugged her and she hugged him back.

Nero and Dante put their swords away now knowing that he was good somewhat. Dante walked up to him and said "So what are you anyways"

"Discord answered "I am a draconequus, a being made out of other creatures and composed of caos magic"

Nero listened and never heard of such a creature, and thought how him and Dante couldn't sense his presents "He must be powerful for use to not sense him. But I refuse that he's some God, and even if he is, even gods can be beaten"

Dante then asked "So your a good guy and help the ponies?"

Discord chuckled and said "I may be good but I wouldn't say help them. More on the lines of riddles and clues"

Nero then asked "Then what about the whole caos thing you still do that?"

Discord seemed to think about it "Well not alot, but I do tend to do my job here" he pointed his finger at a potted plant, a beam shot out and hit the plant. Making it grow a little taller and grow leaf like feet "and there" and shot another beam at a vase changing it into a pineapple.

They all watch as the potted plant ran around the hall and the pineapples top sliced opened and shooting out confetti in the air.

It was weird to look at but Dante found it cool. The plant ran into his leg, and fell down. Dante picked the plant up and looked at it's leaf feet "This is weirdly cool" he laughed when he tickled it's feet making the plant wiggle.

Pinkie wanted to play with the plant "Ohh I want to tickle the plant!" They both tickled the plant making it wiggle all around in a funny way.

Celestia looked at discord unamussed and said "Discord. What did I say about using your magic in the castle"

Discord rolled his eyes and snapped his claw, making the two things turn back to normal "No using my magic to change things. Your such a killjoy sometimes"

Discord let it slide because something else had his attention. He looked over at Nero and Dante "Know who are you both"

"Oh! my names" Dante was going to say his name but discord cut him off.

"Trick question kid. I already know you both" he pointed at Dante "Your Dante the fun joker of the two, strong headed and uncontrolling, something I respect"

Dante grinned "Thanks but you also forgot sexies of the two. Am I right" he looked over at pinkie, rainbow and twilight. He winked at them making all three blush.

Nero found it insulting and elbowed Dante in the side making him fall to the ground "Ah! my liver!" Dante screamed.

Discord laughed and pointed to nero "And your Nero, the smart and cool one, the serious type that I find boring, and a glare that could beat a cockatrice"

Nero glared at discord for his unknown reason of knowing them. Discord faked jumping away and turning himself to stone.

The fake stone if discord fell down and broke into pieces. He then appeared next to nero "You two hold caos inside yourselves, well hidden beside all that demonic energy inside you"

Nero could feel this so called caos energy inside discord and there was a lot. Nero didn't like discord he reminded him of joker in the game, damn clown.

Nero said "How do you know use so well. Have you been spying on use" Nero spoke in a serious tone wanting answers.

Discord waved his lions index finger "Ah, ah, ah, I gave enough answers already. Why don't you tell me about yourselves hmm. Who you really are" he whispered the last sentence.

Nero's eyes wide a bit not wanting them to know of his reaction "He knows!" Nero thought.

Nero shook his head "Sorry not saying" Nero said just when Dante got back up.

Discord whined at first "Oh come on please!" He looked at nero's right hand senses great power. He pop to his hand and said "Oh! What's this?"

He grabbed nero's devil bringer. Dante tried stopping the foolish God of caos but he was to late.

In great speed even for discord Nero grabbed discord around his neck with his devil bringer and lifted him in the air. The girls gasp with the princesses watching to see what would happen.

Discord could see the fire in nero's eyes "Has anyone taught you not to touch others without asking" Nero said in a cold tone.

Discord huffed, choking slightly and said "Nope but it's only in fun and games" he snapped his finger to get out of nero's gripped but when he did nothing happend, he looked at his claw and tried again, again,and again but nothing.

"I don't understand why won't my magic wor-" he stopped and looked at nero's devil bringer "That's it, his arm"

Nero threw discord away, now out of his grip discord snapped his finger poping behind fluttershy "Well I never! I just wanted to look"

"And I wanted to bash your face in, but I rather not mess up the princesses castle" Nero said in a uncaring tone.

Fluttershy found his words not nice and his actions unfriendly. She walked up to him and said "Nero can you please say sorry to discord"

Nero looked at fluttershy like she was crazy "Excuse me, he should be the one to say sorry. On our world touching someone out of know were would lead you getting punch in the face"

Fluttershy nodded but said "Discord didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to see your arm"

Nero looked away and sighed and looked over at the smiling discord "I'm sorry" be bitterly

Discord was going to play around with Nero but found it a bad idea so he took his apology "Apology accep-"

Nero cut him off "But if you try something like that again, I'll punch your whole godly self to the afterlife. Got it!"

Discord surprised the ponies by nodding and said "Yes sir" he felt a cold shutter from nero's threat.

Celestia coughed in her knuckle getting everyone's attention "Well seeing as that was done I would like to ask" she looked over to discord "Did you find anything on you vacation discord?"

Discord looked to celestia and changing into a detective outfit "I did, ya see doll someone's been doing a lot of door opening"

Rainbow dash was confused and said "What?"

Discord sighed and turned back to his normal outfit "It means someone has opened tartarus doors that open to the different aspect of demons in each door"

This shocked the pony princesses, Luna said "How could that be possible there is no way someone could opened the doors"

Discord shook his head "Oh my dear little moon" Luna glared at discord for calling her that "Anything can happen with the right power, and this one was able to free the demons in their so called cells. More like cheap homes"

"Did you find anything that could tell use who might have done this" celestia asked.

She got no good answer "Nope, who ever did this wasn't anyone we know. This person didn't just free them he/she was also able to make a second exit out of tartarus"

Twilight was finding this unbelievable "That's impossible! There is only one exit and it's guarded by Cerberus. Their no magic in tartarus to use to do such a thing"

Discord nodded "That's true, even I can't understand it and that scares me. The only thing I could think of is that demonic magic was in play"

Nero stepped in "You think a demon freed them, that's unlikely" everypony and discord looked to nero.

Celestia said "What do you mean that is unlikely"

Dante said "All demons compose in 7 things wrath, pride, sloth, gluttony, greed, envy, and lust. Even demons have there reasons in doing something, it just ends in a bad way"

Nero finished "It means that demons would never work together without a reason. They may be the same race, but would rather kill one another than work together"

Discord summoned a ringing buzzer "Ding, ding, ding, your right. A demon would not work with another, unless something or someone is making them"

"The question is who is doing this" discord said ending it in mystery.

Dante wiggled his fingers "Freaky" as everone thought of this mysterious person.

Twilight notice that discord kept saying demons with a "s"

"Wait you said demons, meaning more than just one" this grabbed all of the ponies attention.

Discord nodded slowly thinking they would all notice that "That's right and seeing as canterlot looked like a college party, it would seem they came here"

Applejack cut in "Eyup if not for Dante and nero ponyville would have been the same"

Discord rolled his eyes "Well yes it is their job to do"

Fluttershy spoke in a scared tone "Then there are other d-demon out there"

Celestia said "It would seem so. And if they came and attacked my kingdom then"

Soon the throne room door opened reveling stone heart and torrent sky's with the griffon scout behind them.

"Princesses a griffon from griffonstone comes in dire need" stone heart said moving to the side with torrent to let the griffon speck.

The griffon spoke in worry "Princesses, griffonstone is being attacked by demons. My king black beak sent me to ask for help" Princesses celestia and Luna could not think that the demons would attack another kingdom, and just after there kingdom was assaulted.

The griffon scout asked "Would you help use"

Both princesses thought that with their guards only few their help would be meaningless. Stone heart thought the same and said "Princesses we don't have the power to help them. I believe we should"

"Help them" they all looked to nero that spoke "Where going to help them"

Stone heart decline nero's proposal "Are you mad! We don't have enough guards to help them. If the demons are attacking then they should have a army maybe even greater than canterlots attack!"

Nero never dropped his seriousness "Then we just bring a small group"

Stone heart was baffled by nero's words "A small platoon could do nothing!"

Dante stepped in "Dude cool you shit. Have you forgotten you have two badass demonslayers here, we'll go and take down every demon there"

Twilight and the girls agreed "Their both right we can't just let the demons attack another kingdom, and if griffonstone falls they will have a fortress in their disposal"

Celestia made up her mind "Stone heart I want you to pick out the guards we will be bring to griffonstone" stone heart saluted and with torrent they went to form a small platoon.

She turned to twilight "Twilight you and the girls will come and help"

"You can count on use princesses" twilight said with the rest of the girls by her side.

The griffon scout went to nero and Dante and said "Is it true. That you both are demonslayers"

Dante grinned standing next to nero "You got it, the very best"

"You have nothing to worry about, we'll help your home and send those demons back to hell where they belong" Nero said making the griffons worries fade away.

In the back discord was smiling. He could just taste the caos in the air "I never was the type in carnage, blood stained caos. But I'm not picky" he said to no one but himself.

Soon they were all out of the castle. The guards finished cleaning, outside and lined up with canterlots citizens watching as they headed to stone heart. Luna spoke to stone heart "Is thy carriage and guards ready Captain?"

Stone heart nodded "Yes princesses, We formed the small platoon just like you asked and readied both carriages"

"Good we must make haste to griffonstone" Celestia looked over to her ponies "My ponies, fret not, we will return" the citizens said their goodbyes while the group went inside the carriage. Stone heart left night walker in commanded and got inside his carriage with his men. The griffon scout flew with torrent to carry the carriages with his men.

This time Nero and Dante sat next to each other with twilight and rainbow while the rest sat on the other side. Nero asked "How long until we get there"

Celestia answered "8 minutes"

Dante found that bad "Damn, hope those griffons can hold on until we get there" and like that they were off, heading to griffonstone in haste.

8 Minutes Later

The group were now in griffon territory and over the kingdom of griffonstone. As they looked out they could see the carnage, many griffon soldiers fought to keep the citizens safe but most demons went pass or killed the ones in their way to get further inside the kingdom.

"Its just like in canterlort" they looked to celestia "Berial did the same thing when he marched his army into canterlot. Spreading out like a plague and killing all those around, a terrible thing to see"

Dante looked over at the demons "Yup there are a lot of Stygian down there"

Starlight looked to Dante in a questionable look "Stygian, what's that"

Nero said "Stygian's are black fluid demon constructs that attack anything they see. There seems to be a lot of lesser type and only a few normal ones"

Starlight was getting more suspicious around the two demonslayers "And how do you know that hmm?" she said trying to see if she could rule them out.

Dante answered "Me and Nero fought these things accouple of times back on earth" starlight grumbled when not finding anything wrong in Dante's claim.

The griffon scout flew to their carriage "Princess, stone heart informs that he has found a safe place to land" Celestia was going to tell her Pegasus guards to follow the second carriage but Nero intervened.

"Wait" everyone looked to him "Looks like the demons have broke passed the front lines" they all looked back to griffonstone as what Nero said was true, the demons were know completely inside griffonstone and spreading out.

The griffon scout wailed "No! my people!"

Nero thought fast and said "We need to stop them from taking to much ground in griffonstone before they take whole of the kingdom" he looked over at Dante "Think you can take care of that"

Dante smiled and got up "No problem, I'll take care of it" Dante told the griffon to move away from the door. He did and Dante kicked opened the door surprising the girls, twilight said "Did you really have to do that"

Dante responded "No just felt like it" he grabbed the top of the door frame and flipped himself on the top of the carriage.

The group watch dante step back, twilight and the others knew what Dante was going to do and said "Wait sto-" it was to late.

Dante jumped off the carriage and headed straight down at the middle of the kingdom. Their eyes widen seeing Dante falling from the sky. Rarity yelled out "Is he out of his mind!"

Nero rolled his eyes at her words "I'm surprised you just notice that, and calm down. Dante is just going to take care of the demons in the middle, watch"

They listened and watched as Dante got closer to griffonstone. Dante got excited the closer he got to the kingdom, he summoned Eryx and pulled his right fist back. Once he got close to the ground Dante punched the ground, shattering everything around him and sending stygian's into the air, and knocking them down with rocks slamming into them from the wave Dante created from his punch.

Dante was crouched down with his fist in the ground. He pulled his fist out and stood up, looking around and seeing the demons he landed on dead and fading away "Rough landing, but still got where I wanted to be" the demons that were out of Dante's range came out from the side of the building and slowly creeping towards him.

He saw them and showed off his wicked grin at them "You save one kingdom, and know another" dante switched out eryx for rebellion and pulled the sword off his back "Come on, lets dance!" dante yelled as the stygian's all ran to him all together.

Back with the group they looked in shock at the crater dante made when landing in the middle of griffonstone. Pinkie said "Holy cupcakes batmare, danty did a number on those demons"

Nero didn't know why she phrased it that way but ignored it "Dante will take care of the demons in the center and move out farther inside"

Celestia told her guards to follow the second carriage while Nero explained the plan he thought up "While he's doing that. You all will head to the castle and get to the king, now that you both have your powers back you should be able to get there and take on the demons there"

Celestia and Luna were both impressed by Nero's fast thinking and planning, he acted like one of their captain guards, even better. Luna was inspired that Nero thought she could handle herself and followed his plan.

He turned to the girls not thinking they could face the demons "I know you guys done a lot of things, but I gotta ask. Are you sure you all can handle this"

Twilight said "Don't worry Nero we've faced a lot together and still will"

Rainbow cut in "Those demons won't stand a chance against us, we'll help the princesses and free the griffon king"

All of the girls yelled out yeah, Fluttershy whispered out with them. Nero didn't know if he should trust them with this tasked. This is nothing like their other adventures, this is a war where lives are instate. He let his worries go knowing that they will be with the princesses "I hope their ready"

They landed southwest inside griffonstone but far away from the battle taking place. They got out and walked over to stone heart and torrent sky's instructing the guards and getting ready for battle. Rainbow notice that Nero didn't say what he was doing and said "So wait what are you going to do Nero?"

Nero said "I'll be leading the guards southwest from here and take out any demons we encounter. If we come into contact with any griffon soldiers, we'll help them and get any griffon civilians out of harms way and continue to move forward"

They nodded understanding Nero's role in this, but stone heart didn't agree with the prospect of his guards taking orders from him, and having him lead them into battle possibly getting them killed, he thought.

He marched over to Nero and stood right in front of him showing he wasn't scared of him. He spoke in a commanding voice like he would with his guards "I will not have you take command of My guards, I don't trust you. You could get them killed out there, And I will not let that happen!"

The girls got worried that the two would fight ending with Nero hurting the captain. Luna was going to stop this and let Nero take command but celestia stopped her wanting to see what he would do.

Nero stood his ground giving stone heart an emotionless look, he spoke in a calm voice "So you rather have me behind them and you leading them into the demons? News flash captain, they'll die in seconds" this made the guards flinch from Nero's prospect of what would happen "If I take the lead, I could face the demons first having them focus on me while the guards move around and take out any demon out of line"

Torrent knew that Nero was right. He saw the demons from the sky, they were nothing like the ones in canterlot but in a close up fight they would be killed if not careful. He's fought the demons in canterlot and only killed three before being pushed back from the onslaught of them, pushing him and the other guards back and killing few of them before the princesses arrived to help them.

Nero shoved passed stone heart and moved to be in front of the guards. He looked at them, Nero said "If you don't trust me or Dante then I'll tell you what we are. Both of use are demons" The guards were surprised by this information, the same for torrent and stone heart.

Stone heart was angered that he let two powerful demons get close to the princesses "You bastard! How dare you deceive use" He was going to attack Nero but celestia stopped him with her magic "Princess what are you-"

"Silence!" she said in authority making stone heart shut his mouth "And listen" she said to him and the guards.

Nero nodded to celestia and continued "Yes were demons but nothing like the ones you've seen or face. You can tell by how we helped ponyville and saved both your princesses from being killed"

They had to agree with him. They both are the reason the princesses are not dead, Nero kept talking "I know you all don't trust us, hell I can tell that you all are afraid of me and dante" they all looked away making his statement true.

"But let me tell you all, I will not let any of you die here" they all looked back at Nero, hearing him say that "I will lead you all into battle and face the demons together"

His words soon encouraged the guards, with him by their side "We will kill any demon in our way and help the griffons protect their kingdom and not let the demons destroy it just like they did in canterlot"

The guards yelled out agreeing with Nero. Not wanting the griffons to suffer the same fate as them. Nero wasn't done "If you all follow me into battle, we will save griffonstone, we will help the griffons and save the civilians here, we will kill any demon that we face. So tell me, are, you, with me!" Nero yelled out.

The guards roared out saying "Yes!" Or "I will follow you" letting Nero know they trust him.

Celestia, and Luna were impressed in nero's ability in giving the guards hope and courage. The same for the girls that watched the speculation. Luna was mostly impressed because to her it was like watching a king raise his army to battle, her heart swelled when watching Nero show just how determined he was to help the griffons. The same goes for fluttershy and applejack.

Their thoughts were finished when Nero looked over at them, Nero said "You guys should hurry to the kingdom, who knows if the king is endanger. If He's killed the griffons under his rule will give up"

Celestia thought the same. Because if the king falls every griffon will fall just the same "Your right, we will be going" she looked to twilight "Are you ready twilight?"

Twilight looked over at her friends. Rainbow flew up with her fist ready to punch something, applejack had her lasso, rarity her crystal shards in her magic grip, pinkie pulled out her party bazooka, fluttershy had a box of medical supplies, starlight with her magic and spike breathing out green fire signaling he was ready.

Twilight looked to celestia "Ready princess!" Celestia nodded, and with Luna they activated their magic to teleport to the castle.

Luna called out to nero. He looked to her, Luna said "Be safe sir nero"

Nero said "You to princess, try not getting yourself hurt again" he only heard her giggle before teleporting, leaving him and the guards.

Torrent sky's walked up to nero, and like them was encouraged by nero's speech wanting to fight beside him "Your orders sir nero"

Nero looked at him with a raised eye brows, not knowing why they started calling him that but let it slide.

"I want all guards to follow behind me, if we face any demons I'll attack first grabbing their attention while you all move around and take on any demon left out. Do not face a demon alone, always have someone with you to help. When we get to the griffon soldiers, we'll help them push the demons back and save any civilians"

Nero looked at each of them "Is that clear" he said.

The guards yelled out "Yes sir!" torrent did the same except stone heart.

"Good, let's move out" Nero took the lead just like he said and the guards followed behind as be instructed.

Stone heart followed but didn't like having to do what Nero says. He felt betrayed that his own kind would trust and listen to him. He pretended to agree with all this knowing that there were more important matters than this.

Griffonstone center

Dante was killing stygians left and right with rebellion. A stygian ran at dante and swung its arm blade, but dante dodged to the side and sliced the demon through the waist. Another one attacked dante, he was quicker and striked the demon twice with rebellion, four stygian's tried attacking him from both sides but dante knew this and used "Death Coil" spinning his body and hitting all four. He finished it off with one under-up slash killing the demon in front of him.

Dante notice the griffons were having a hard time with the lesser stygian's so he switched out rebellion for Ebony&Ivory and fired at the demons heads killing them and saving the griffons. He turned back to the stygian's that were heading towards him and fired at them.

They were smart enough to use their sword arms as shields, blocking his shots. Dante thought "These guys are surprisingly smart, Lets see if they can handle this"

Dante put his pistols back inside his coat and pulled out Aquila, the two shuriken's shined in the light. When they were in range dante sent aquila at them, the blades turned into three and hit 5 stygian's. He used "Killer" hitting them all, he spun making the shuriken's spin doing extra damage and killing them all. 6 stygian's thought it would be smart to attack from above and jumped into the air and right at dante.

He saw their shadows, and he jumped into the air being in the middle of them and used "Aerial Buy In" sending 6 shuriken's out, they sliced the 6 stygian's necks, they fell down with their heads falling to the ground. Dante landed back on the ground, More stygian's came and surrounded Dante.

Dante spun both Aquila's in his hands "Alright you ugly fucks, lets spin!" dante spun his body around using "Tornado" slashing every demon that tried to get close to him or attack, he moved around hitting every demon in the middle. Dante stopped and looked around him. he saw that the stygians were all dead only leaving him and the griffon soldiers that had their eyes widen when seeing dante kill all the demons by himself.

Dante put aquila away "That takes care of the demons in the center, Nero should be moving around the kingdom with the others" he heard flapping and saw a group of griffons flying to him and in the front a griffon wearing something different from the rest.

They landed close to dante and the lead griffon walked up to him "I don't know who you are but I thank you for helping my griffons in battle" he bowed his head to dante.

Dante took the griffon leaders thanks "No problem, just doing my job"

The griffon leader asked "May I ask who you are brave warrior"

Dante was liking this guy already "Names dante, I came with the princesses from canterlot to help take out these demons"

The griffon nodded "I see, I was told that the king sent a scout to ask for help, but I did not think the princesses would bring a powerful warrior to assist use"

Dante patted the griffon on the shoulder "Don't worry, these demons got no chance in winning. Am I right!" he said to the griffon's behind the leader. They yelled out in victory, agreeing with dante. He smiled but then saw something that caught his attention.

He looked right and saw a giant fog taking the entire right side of the kingdom "How the heck did I not notice that?" dante said.

The griffons with him also saw the fog and just like him were confused in how it appeared. Dante could feel bad vibes coming from it, asking for trouble. Good thing he was just the right guy to take care of it.

He turned back to the griffon leader "Mind telling me your name"

The leader turned back to Dante "Talon shot, commander of this unite"

Dante remembered the named and started to head off to the fog "It was nice meeting you talon but I got demons to kill, lives to save, and having to look badass while doing it. I'll take care of this mess over here. You can take care of keeping your people safe" before talon could ask dante to come with, dante was already inside the fog.

Talon thought he should listen to dante and see if there is anymore griffon's that needed to be escorted to the castle "Come! we must be sure that every griffon was evacuated from this area" The soldiers saluted and flew off around the center and back for any civilians.

Inside griffstone castle the princesses, girls, and spike appeared in the main hall. And as they came, they witness that the demons have gotten inside also. Griffon soldiers fought to keep them away from a large door, but few slipped passed them.

Celestia and Luna did not waste any time. They used their magic to summon their royal armor, celestia's golden army with her claymore, and luna's armor silver with her scythe.

They both flew at the demon's from behind killing each one, the girls didn't hesitate with rainbow yelling "Lets kick their butts!" and going in to face the demons, except for fluttershy that stayed back and helped treated the injured griffons in the hall.

Celestia cleaved two stygians while Luna sliced three in one swing. Twilight and starlight fired beams of magic taking out a few stygians that were fighting the griffons.

Rainbow dash used the hit and run tactic knocking down any stygian with her speed, applejack lassoed one stygians blade arm, and with her strength sent it at the two demons next to each other, she finished the last one by sending it at a group of them.

Pinkie fired harden frosted cakes, they were so hard that it sent one demon into a wall, and fired right through the side of a demons head, rarity used her crystals as projectiles hitting the demon, caving through their bodies.

The griffons notice the help from the ponies and fought harder, finishing the demons in the hall.

Twilight walked over to celestia "Are you alright princess"

Celestia said "I am fine twilight, we must head inside quickly to speck to black beak"

The griffons obliged and opened the door for them. Inside king black beak and his wife white feather were facing the demons and keeping them away from the castle staff and civilians that got here.

Black beak stabbed one stygian in the head "Back you foul monsters!" he pulled his sword out of the demon head and was ready to face the next.

But then a women like yell was heard that spoke in old equisish "Face the might of the moon demons!" the griffons watched as Luna slice through the demons in her way with celestia and twilight caving through them with their magic. With their help they took care of the demons that gotten inside. Black beak was glad that the royal sisters came to help him.

He walked over to them "Celestia, Luna, I am glad that you both came, and I see you brought the elements with you" white feather stood by his side.

Celestia set her sword by her side "Yes, we came as fast as we could. What happened, how did they get here?"

White feather said "We don't know, they came out of no where. Pushing through and getting inside the kingdom"

"I inform all my soldiers to bring all griffons to the castle, I just hope nothing else surprises use" black beak says, just then a rumble sounded and a large demon broke through the door knocking black beaks soldiers away. This demon was different from the rest. It was large, having two giant spike limbs, fat meaty legs and the head spouting black tentacles.

The group moved back as the demon stepped forward. Black beak said to his guards and people "All of you stay back!"

Luna did not want the demon to get to close to the civilians and attacked it. Celestia didn't waste time to follow close behind her. Luna flew for the demons head "Die!" he said as she aimed her scythe for its head. But the demon was no fool, it saw where she was going for and blocked her scythe with its right spiked arm.

Luna tried pushing away its arm but she wasn't strong enough "My energy must not have completely recovered" she thought. right when she said that, the demon knocked her back and sent it's left arm at her. Luna blocked the demons arm with her scythe but was outclassed in strength and sent into the castles wall.

"Luna!!" celestia scream just when she got close and swung her sword with both hands at the demon. She was able to push it back but the demon stood strong an tried swatting her away like Luna, but celestia was faster and more agile than it.

Luna got back up, her armor saved her from receiving the full power of the demons hit. She flew back into the fight with celestia. Knowing that her sister was fine celestia gave her attacks more power and with Luna they were both able to push the demon back further.

The griffons watch as the royal sisters show off their skill, the girls cheered them on, and black beak keeping a eye on the demon. Celestia striked the side of the demons metal like head, dazing it. Luna took this moment to deal a powerful blow to the demon, she charged her magic into her scythe and slashed across the demons stomach. Her attack actually tore open the demons stomach as black ooze flowed out. The two huffed and breathed.

Celestia said "Are you alright luna?" Worry in her tone.

Luna scoffed "I am fine sister. It will take more than that to defeat me" she assured her.

Knowing that her sister was fine celestia went back fighting the demon with Luna by her side. Before they could rush back in the demon wailed in anger, loud enough that everyone had to cover their ears. The demon raised it's arms and slammed them on the castle floor, creating a shockwave that was sent at the sisters.

They both saw the projectile and flew up, evading it. The demon set it's focus on the group, stepped back and charged right at them.

Pinkie saw the demon charging and said "It's coming right for use!" making the griffon staff scream and the soldiers freezing in fear. Twilight and starlight tried stopping the demon by combing their magic and firing a beam at it, but only slowed its charge.

Celestia and Luna flew after the demon, Luna yelled out "Sister the legs!" celestia knew what Luna was planning and followed her lead. They both flied on either side of the demon, Luna on its left and celestia on its right. They both charged their weapon, and together they swung at the demons legs, cleaving a chunk of its metal flesh.

The demon tripped from the action, both twilight and starlight let their magic go as the demon slide on the ground towards the group, all of them stepped back except black beak as the demon stopped next to them. It tried getting up, but black beak stopped it with his sword.

With his strength he impaled the demon straight in the head. The demon perished in dark colors, black beak slide his sword back in his sheaf as the sisters flew down to the girls, and spike.

When they landed the girls gave them their praise for facing the demon "Wow princess, you two really gave that varmint a good beating"

Rainbow dash yelled out "That was awesome, the way you both just went in and fought it was crazy"

The sisters appreciated the complements from the girls. Black beak walked over to them, and gave his thanks "Thank you both for helping me and my people"

Celestia said "It is fine black beak, we are both rulers only wanting to protect those in our rule"

Black beak smiled knowing that with their help they could save his kingdom "Know that every demon here is killed we can go and help your army with mine to defeat the demons"

Luna said "I'm sorry to say this but we did not bring an army with use" this made black beak frown in confusion the same with his wife.

White feather asked "What do you mean?"

Twilight informed them both "Canterlot was attacked by demons just like griffonstone, many guards lost their lives from protecting it. We could only bring a small group of guards with use and leave the rest to keep canterlot safe"

This news of information made white feather to gasp and black beak to lose a bit of hope, he said "Then what should we do? my men are barley able to keep the demon back let alone kill any!"

Celestia reassured him "Do not worry my friend, we have brought two powerful warriors with us to help your kingdom" this captured the kings attention.

"Warriors you say?" he was skeptical by this.

Luna said "These two saved our kingdom from the demons, and protected ponyville when the army tried invading. As we speck they are both fighting demons around your kingdom liberating them and helping your soldiers.

This brought hope back in the old king, wanting to meet these warriors "Alright, we will head out and help face the demons"

White feather said "We must find our daughter, she's still out there. I remembered she said she was going to be walking around near the center of the kingdom"

Twilight smiled "Your just in luck, the middle should be cleared of demons thanks to Dante, we were to meet there once we made sure that you both are safe"

"Then let use go, my people need me and my daughter must be found!" black beak and white feather flew up in the air with celestia, Luna, twilight, spike, rainbow dash and fluttershy.

Celestia used her magic to pick the rest of the group up. They flew off, heading to the center of the kingdom were nero said they will all meet. Speaking of nero, he was taking care of the demons with the guards in his location. He cut down three stygians, and killed another that tried killing one of the guards with blue rose.

The guard startled backwards when the demon fell back and die. Nero yelled out "All guards in groups! kill them together not alone!" nero slash a stygian vertically, splitting the demon in two. The guards did as he instructed, with many of the demons going for him and the rest left out like nero thought giving the guards a chance to kill the stragglers.

Nero kicked out into a building, three others jumped from behind all three aiming their arm blades at him. Nero turned and blocked all three with red queen, he knocked them back and slashed horizontal, hitting their waists. Nero turned to see a bunch of stygian's coming right at him, he ran at them and used "Combo C" he first slashed the lead demon, then cut down the second, he rose red queen and sliced two more with two slashes, four stygians came up and nero swung wide hitting all three, the rest came after and nero let his body turn from the swing creating a circle rounded slash hitting them all.

Nero placed red queen on his shoulder and looked around seeing that the guards were doing good, they scattered in groups of three, killing one or two demon together. He notice that stone heart and torrent with a earth pony mare guard taking out four demons. Nero was interested in their skill, well mostly torrents, not really interested in stone hearts mostly because he still felt bad vibes coming off him.

Nero saw that all demons were beaten and seeing that the guards were fine, some had slashes, and their armor looked dented from the demons attacks but they all looked fine. He looked towards a rising smoke in the air, he could sense more demons in that direction.

Nero looked over at the guards "Alright, lets keep moving" he moved and ran towards the smoke, with the guards following behind him.

From where the smoke is rising, a battle was taking place between the griffons and the demons. The griffons fought back, but were no match for them single handling. One griffon ran up and tried attacking a stygian, the demon blocked his blade with its own and impaled the griffon through his chest. Another tried crawling away but a stygian stopped him with its foot and stabbed him through the back, making him screech in pain.

The leader of the group was a female griffon, she watched in sadness as her men be killed. She ordered the rest to fall back behind the barricade and fire arrows at them. It worked for the lesser stygians but the normal ones just blocked the arrows with their arm blades and continued to advance.

Her and the rest kept on firing with one griffon saying "Their pushing through! We're going to die!" Scaring the rest of the soldiers.

But she didn't back down and kept on attacking with her crossbow "Keep firing!" She yelled.

They did but it was no use, one of her soldiers notice this "Their blocking the arrows, we need to retreat gilda!"

She didn't listen and continued to fire, she didn't want her home to be taken without a fight. One stygian saw an opening and ran at them.

This scared the soldier's and gilda, she tried to load another arrow but she fumbled and dropped it. She looked down but then back up to see the stygian right near them. It focused on her and jumped over the barricade.

Gilda watched as the demon aimed it's arm blade at her, seeing no way out and fearing her death, but then a shot rang out, and the demon that tried killing Gilda was sent back. She blinked out of her fear just in time to see a being her and the rest never seen before, jump pass them and slam it's sword into the demon that tried attacking her.

They watch as the demon withered around before the being shoved it's sword deeper killing the demon. It faded into dark colors and the being looked forward at rest. Nero revved the handle making red queen heat up, but not on fire only glowing red, he didn't waste any time and charge at them.

Nero used "Exceed Combo A" he slashed downwards on the first demon, and again for the second, nero swatted another demon making it crash into a building, another stygian came up but nero finished with one more downwards slash that ripped the demon apart. One tried attacking from behind but swinging its blade arm but nero caught the blade with red queen and pointed blur rose in its face, nero fired and blasted the stygian away.

Gilda and her men watch as Nero took on, and kill many of the demons. His skill with his sword shocked and awed the griffons, how easy he tore through them.

They soon heard the sound of hoof steps, they turned around to see pony guards. The pony guards all jumped over the barricade and started fighting the demons with Nero, but in groups doing a better job than when the griffons had to face the demons.

Gilda watched as they fought and push back the demons, she saw this as an opportunity and said "All griffons! help the ponies and push back the demons!" They yelled out and flew into battle supporting the ponies.

With their help they forced the demons to move back and away from the barricade that lead to the castle. Nero chopped one stygians head of and slashed another across the chest.

He looked around seeing that the griffons were helping the pony guards fight the demons together "Finally, took them long enough to jump in" Nero said before ducking under a stygians blade and uppercutting the demon into the air with his devil bringer.

Together they were able to push back the stygian's to retreat. But then a loud painful scream was heard, they all looked to see a griffon with a hole in his chest. The griffons were shocked and disgusted in how one of their own was killed, he fell down forward. Then a buzzing sound caught their attention they looked up at the sky to see 10 demons flying around. They all looked the same, with small heads, dirty wings, the center of their bodies glowed yellow, and like the stygian's they had black ooze coming out of them.

Nero knew what they were and said "Everyone get back to the barricade!" he ran and the ponies listen, Gilda told her men to do the same seeing as Nero didn't look like the type to run away and followed behind. They got to the barricade just in time for the flying the demons to fire glowing balls at them, hitting the barricade and making it rumble from the blast.

One of the griffon guards said "What are those things!"

"Bathos" they all looked at nero that spoke "Their demons that can fly and attack from the air, they can fire balls of energy from their stomachs killing anyone they hit, as you can tell from what happen to the griffon soldier" the griffons and ponies guards flinch from the reminder and didn't want to get hit by any of them.

Gilda growled when feeling the demons hit the barricade, she hate feeling useless "Then how the tartures are we going to get out of this! They'll destroy the barricade sooner or later" she said to nero as her soldiers feared for the worse.

"Don't think that they have the upper hand" she heard him say, she notice that the pony guards had their full focus on him "Bathos are weak demons, weaker than the stygians. Their only advantage is that they have air cover but that's it, if we can hit them from afar then they have no way of winning"

Torrent asked "Do you have a plan sir Nero" Gilda heard the name and suspected it was the beings name and remembered the name when if she needed something or wanted to ask him a question when this is all over.

Nero grinned and pulled blue rose out of his coat, the weapon captured the griffons attention of never seeing such a thing before "There's something you always got to know about me lieutenant" nero made sure that all bullets are accounted for "Is that on every situation. I always make a plan for it"

Nero asked Gilda, surprising the griffoness of him noticing that she was the leader of the group. He asked her if she had shields and crossbows, she nodded saying that every griffon soldier is equipped with those.

Nero told the them his plan "Listen we will group up in threes, three ponies or griffons will be the defense while the rest will be the offensive, attacking with the crossbows"

The pony guards nodded but the griffons didn't seem to trust this plan, Gilda said "How do you know this will work?"

Nero said "Beacuse bathos are weak demons a strong hit would kill them simply, or a shot from an arrow that hits a weak spot. With the group defence protecting the rest, they'll be able shoot down the bathos without getting hit"

Gilda thought about it and understood, the plan was good and simple. Nero divided the three groups with gilda's soldiers and nero's guards while the bathos attack the barricade. Once it was done Nero started his plan by jumping over the barricade and firing two shot out of blue rose, killing two bathos. This got the other demons to attack him giving a chance for the teams to get over the barricade and get into position.

When they did, Gilda, torrent, and stone heart with those that had crossbows, fired and attacked the bathos while they were distracted. The bathos notice this and tried fighting back but the shield holders took the demons blast and kept the others safe.

With their combined effort they were able to kill two bathos, Gilda shot one down by hitting it in the head with her arrow, and stone heart kill his by hitting it through the neck. This left three bathos that Nero took care of.

Nero ran for the middle bathos, he had red queen in his hand grinding the cobble floor. Nero used "High Roller" sending himself into the air and slicing the middle bathos in half, he then used "Hell Bound" sending his devil arm at the left bathos and pulling himself towards it and did "Aerial combo" slicing the demon all over, in the air he kicked away from it and fired a shot at it making the demon explode, and went for the last bathos. The demon tried attacking first but Nero used "Caliber" slashing the demon in two as it turns into dark colors.

Nero landed back on the ground, he saw that all bathos we're killed and that the stygians ran off. He heard sounds of cheering as the guards came to him and praised the demonslayers abilities in finishing off the last three bathos.

Nero waved them off and said "You all did a great job in taking care of half of those flying bastards, you all should be proud of yourselves" nero's kind words struck the guards in a good way, happy to be helpful to nero.

Gilda came over with her soldiers that also praised Nero of his skills, Gilda said "Thanks for the help, I don't know how long we could have lasted without your help"

Nero said "Think nothing of it, you fought hard like a true soldier. I bet your king would be proud of a strong griffon like you keeping his kingdom safe" nero's complement and kind words made Gilda blush.

She rubbed the back of her neck with her claw and said "Uh... Thanks, you weren't so bad yourself" she never felt nervous around anyone before except rainbow dash when they were still friends.

Nero and the rest soon heard screaming and yelling coming from not to far from them. Nero and gilda looked at each other both thinking the same thing, they nodded at each other and told their squads to follow them as they head towards the noise. When they got there it was mayhem. So many demons running around, attacking innocent griffons. The griffon soldier's kept them back but was fruitless ending them killed by the demons.

Gilda didn't waste time and told her men to help the soldiers. As they flew into battle time seemed to slow for Nero, he instantly knew that a lot of innocents will be killed even if they tried fighting. He saw that there were demons going for the civilians, his eyes widen just a little seeing the demons advance "Shit I won't be able to reach them on time, I'm not that fast!"

This seemed to spark something inside Nero, well inside his devil bringer. He looked down at it the arm glowed bright blue for some reason. That's when an image appeared inside his head, Nero couldn't believe it and soon harden his eyes.

Time soon turned back to normal. Torrent said "Sir Nero we have to save the griffon citizen's!

Nero clutched his right hand "I'll deal with that, you all help Gilda and her men" the guards thought it would be meaningless because many of the griffons would be killed before he gets there.

Nero outstretched his devil bringer, he opens his hand and swung his arm back. When he did a object started to form. It glowed blue but then the colors started to fade off. That object in his hand was a sword but one the guards have never seen before.

The sword was long and inside a scabbard, the scabbard being black and gold with a yellow thin cloth tied to it, the handle of the blade was white. Before torrent, stone heart or anyone of the guards could question, nero suddenly disappeared. They looked around and couldn't find him.

In high speeds Nero moved towards the stygians aiming for the civilians, everything around him moved slower. He cut down every stygians that was close to a griffon, slashing once then going for the next. One stygian was going to attack a small griffon child, she shook in fear as the demon was about to kill her but out of nowhere a blade stabbed through the demons stomach stopping it. The griffon girl gasp as the stygian looked down at the blade, and in a fluent motion the blade was pulled out and the demon, then was cut in many directions, killing the demon as it start to fall in pieces but fade into colors.

Standing in its place was Nero himself, bringing the fact that he was the one that killed the demon. Behind Nero all of the demons that tried attacking any of the griffons died and turned into dark colors, the griffon girl stared in shock and awe at Nero.

The same would be said to the Pony guards. They saw that every demon was killed, and Nero standing far back across from where the demons were at. One guard said "W-what just happened?" His tone of voice in shock.

A mare guard said "Every demon just died!? What did sir Nero do!" All of the guards thought the same, because they never saw him up until he was standing next to them. Stone heart could not believe that this was nero's doing, he didn't even see him but one person did and it was torrent sky's.

He did not see Nero but only his blur like body, being a peguses gives them better sight then other ponies, and thanks to his training he could spot something from miles. This helped him see Nero but the slayers speed was still to great, only giving torrent a blur figure.

Stone heart said "How about you torrent, did you see anything" he asked after questioning the other guards.

Torrent dumbly nodded and said "Yes captain but also no quite"

Stone heart raised one eyebrow, he said "Not quite, the hay do you mean" stone heart was confused by torrents statement.

Torrent said "The only thing I saw was a blur captain, nothing more" stone heart was surprised that torrent saw something but then shocked that all he saw was a blur.

The griffon girl watch as Nero slides yamato back in it's scabbard, and jump up when the sword disappear in blue colors in his scaled like hand. She said "U-umm.." but got startled when Nero looked down at her.

Nero saw that she was shaking in fear, some from him and most from the stygians that attacked and the one that almost killed her. Nero crouched down to be close to her level of height, Nero tilted his head "Hey, little birdy"

She looked up a bit to see Nero crouching next to her, "Y-yes...?" She said in fear.

Nero said "Don't worry, there's nothing to be scared of. I'm the good guy here, as you can see from all the demons now gone" Nero waved his hand around him, the girl looked and saw that he was right. All the demons were dead only leaving the guards, soldiers, and civilians.

Nero places his left hand on top of her head. She flinched at first but calmed down when Nero started petting her. He chuckled when he heard purring coming from her.

Nero said "Can you stand?" She tried getting up but the scared feeling she faced made her legs feel numb. She shook her head telling Nero she could not stand. Nero asked "Mind if I pick you up?" She thought about it and nodded, the fear she felt from him leaving her body.

Nero carefully picked her up and held her in his left arm. He walked back to the guards, they surrounded him and asked him question on how he killed the demons. Nero said it was just skill, the guards believed him.

Gilda soon came over and said "Thanks again for your help, I don't know what you did but thanks anyways"

Nero smirked feeling prideful that he was able to save the griffons, kill demons, and help keep many of the griffon soldiers alive at the same time.

Nero said "Here" and handed the griffon girl to Gilda, she held the girl in care. "I appreciate the gradatute, but I'm needed elsewhere, what will you do know that the demons here are beaten"

Gilda said "Me and my men will escort our people to the castle"

Nero nodded and waved the guards to follow him "Best of luck to you...?" Nero said not knowing her name.

"Captain Gilda of the second platoon" she saluted with her free claw.

Nero smiled "It was nice fighting with you, hope we get to see each other again in different circumstances" this made Gilda widen her eyes as she believe she just made a friend.

Nero started to walk away with the guards. He heard the griffon girl yell out "Thank you" and "Be safe" this made Nero smile one more time and wave his hand, saying bye in his own way. Nero picked up the pace "Alright you fuzz balls let's get moving, we have to meet the others at the middle" the snark remark made some of the guards chuckle and the rest to grin.

As Nero and the guards head to the middle, the princesses, girls, spike, king and queen was also heading to the middle just like them. As for Dante he was walking aimlessly trying to find anyone inside the fog. Not that far away a team of griffons lead by captain granite was escorting black beaks daughter back to the castle but the fog caught them and know they are lost inside.

They walked in a tight formation with the princess in the middle and the soldiers around her, the princess said "I can't see much, this stupid fog is making this impossible" she was aggravated and a little scared that she was inside something the demons probable created.

Granite said "Do not worry princess, I was task to bring you to the castle and that is what I am going to do" he gave his word making cheeriest feel a little better that she had granite to protect her.

But that was when it happen, in the corner of granite's eye he saw something coming right for them. Have no time he yelled out "Watch out!!" And pushing cheerest away. He moved her away as the princess scream when something flew by fast.

The two were on the ground with granite covering her. He looked behind him, as some of his men started to get up and look around them. He got up and, pulled the princess up with him. Granite said "Is everyone alright?" His men looked at him as he counts them off finding that they were missing two griffons.

Granite yelled out "Battle formation!" Making his guards pull out their swords and move around him and the princess. Granite pulled out his swords and keeping cheeriest close to him.

Inside his head granite thought "What the tartarus was that!? It came out of the fog and tried grabbing the princess, something must be in here with us" he looked around him only seeing the fog move slowly.

The soldiers waited. Only to feel fear creep on them as they watch the fog move around. Cheeriest was know more scared, figuring that something was inside the fog with them. That was when she heard the sound of something in the fog.

Granite was able to hear it and the same goes for the guards, one said "What is that?" Speaking to the others and getting no reply because they were too focus on the noise. Granite predicted that it was the sound of something wheezing through the air, granite whispered with widen eyes "That means....!"

That was when a giant blade flew at them and sliced three guards in one simple motion. Seeing the three dead soldiers made the princess scream and get granite and the soldiers even more nervous. He thought "Dammit, that only leaves me, cheerest feather, and four of my guards! Something is out there, watching us, hunting us!!!"

The soldiers start to shake in fear as granite puts most of his focus on keeping cheerest feather safe no matter what. Not that far away was Dante walking around with rebellion on his shoulder "God where am I, stupid fog is making this ridicules" Dante was annoyed that there was nothing or something trying to attack him inside the fog.

That's when he heard a scream coming from his left. This made Dante smile "Seems I'm not alone in here" he started to jog to the scream, moving at a normal pace not wanting to run face first into a wall or anything "More griffons to save, well as long their still alive"

Back with the griffons to stood and waited, waiting to see if they could see the demon in the fog. Granite kept close to cheeriest. The princess looked around her seeming as it felt like hours to her, but only being minutes when the two griffons were taken, and the three others killed by a blade. This left her, granite, and the last four guards.

Out of the fog something ran out and grabbed two soldiers. This made the last two soldiers to move away in fear and granite to move himself in front of cheeriest as her shield. It kept moving and went back inside the fog, they could hear their screaming going distant until they could not hear them anymore.

Cheeriest started to tear up as those that were to protect her were being killed left and right. She yelled out "Please anyone out there, help us!"

Then the blade that killed the three griffons came back and sliced one of the soldiers in half making the griffon soldier standing next to him jump back and fall to the ground as the dead soldier falls to the ground. The griffon got back up in shaking legs, he started to move to granite and the princess to be safe but a large hand came out grabbing him, this made cheeriest scream and having granite watch as the last of his men get taken.

His screams were loud as he was taken, screaming until everything was silent once more. In rage granite yelled "You monster! Show yourself"

A deep and dark chuckle was heard inside the fog, the being said "Monster? No, I am more than just a monster" the demon appeared with its face peeking through the fog and showing himself to them both. The demon appeared walking on four legs, it was huge and resembled a giant monkey, it had fur on some parts of its body, and a wicked open wound on it's face. The demon smiled at them both giving them a full view of its razor sharp teeth and the dagger it held in its right hand "I am a Hunter!"

The hunter demon creeped around them, the two followed its movement not wanting to be taken by surprise. Granite pointed his blade at the hunter to keep it away but would not do anything either way. The hunter chuckled deeply "So many lives to take, prey to hunt and kill. Know I have a captain, and a princess" he licked his lips scaring cheeriest even more.

Granite did not let his fear take hold of him, he said "I won't let you take the princess!" he moved up, making the hunter stop it's pacing.

The hunter grinned "The old hero speech will not help you. You both will be apart of my collection" he moved up, granite took the action as a challenge and stood his ground. When the demon was in hitting range, granite flew at its left arm with as much speed he could muster. He swung his sword and slashed at the arm, but instead of blood flying out his sword was knocked back like he hit a shield. he fell to the ground and looked up at the demon in shock.

Hunter said "Your puny attacks could never harm me, weakling!" he moved his arm back and swung at granite. He could not get up in time and dodge so he was knocked away by the hunter and slide on the ground close to the princess. Cheeriest looked at the demons as it moves up. She started to cry as nothing was there to stop the demon.

The hunter gripped his dagger and held it up, about to strike her down "Don't worry, this will end very soon" that only made her widen her eyes in fear as the dagger was held over the demons head, with blood from her soldiers dripped from the blade.

He was going to kill her until something burst through the fog and slammed it's foot onto the hunter face, while saying "Surprise bitch!" the kick sent him flying away from the princess and almost inside the fog.

She watch as it landed on the ground and turn to her saying "You alright birdy?"

Dante watch as she blinked her eyes a few times before nodding. Dante turned back to the demon, the hunter looked confused and it's eyes going to him. Hunter was trying to understand what happened. He did not believe that some griffon attacked him it would have been impossible, and second he would have been able to notice someone coming inside his fog.

At one glance hunter knew that what every Dante was is something he never seen before. And the scent he got from dante made his hairs stand out "What is that? its making me want to put my guard up"

Dante looked at the hunter and instantly knew that he was the boss from his game. Dante figured that someone powerful should be leading the demon army, he never though it would be a hunter demon.

The Hunter said "What are you vermin?" He spoke with venom in his tone.

Dante smiled and said "The names Dante monkey, and I'm a demonslayer. You can guess why I'm here for yourself"

Hunter was baffled by dante's words, he as never heard of a demonslayer over his years. No such creature on equis has taken such a title. Hunter let himself calm down and his hairs lowered. He knew that he would not get harm as long that his outer shell was on him. Hunter sneered at the word demonslayer "Demonslayer? You must be a fool playing hero, because if so you are not funny" he growled at the end raising his dagger.

Dante saw this and turned back to cheeriest and said "Can you fly?"

She flinched from his sudden question and was slow to answer. Dante asked again and she said "Y-yes" nervously.

"Good" Dante said, he then extended his arm and pointed where he came out and kicked Hunter "Take your friend and go that way, keep going straight and you should be able to get out of the fog" Dante summoned rebellion on his back that startled cheeriest and made Hunter take on a stand. Dante placed his right hand n the handle "I won't let this guy get close, so get going"

Cheeriest was speechless, this person that she has never seen before that not only saved her but also would keep the demon away from her and the captain for them to escape from. It was like looking at a knight in armor risking his life for others.

She admired that for a while until Dante made her come back to her senses by yelling "Why are you just sitting there, get going!"

She nodded quickly and got up, she took some of granite armor because it would be to heavy for her to lift him with some on. She lift him up and placed one arm around her head and picked him up.

Hunter watched her do this, he would have attacked but Dante made him refuse to do so. The bloodlust coming off him, made the demon predict what would happen "If I even move just a little, or show any intention on going for them, he will stop me" he looked at dante as he looked at the Hunter. For reason unknown for the demon it felt like he was facing a demon but not at the same time, this confused him greatly but put that in the back of his mind.

Once she had granite in position and was ready, she turned back to Dante and said "Thank you, will you be alright?" She asked mostly because she still found it crazy that her savior would face the demon alone, and second because she was worried about her hero"

Dante chuckled "Of course I will, I'm me!" He turned his head, only having his left eye look at her "Know go" Dante said seriously.

She gulped from how serious he become out of nowhere. She flapped her wings and flew up, she balance herself and granite before Flying into where Dante came from and leaving the two behind.

Dante closed his eyes "Know with that taken cared of" he opened them back up, taking on a excited looked "Time to get slaying" his focus souly on the Hunter demon.

While the Hunter felt dissapoated that he let his prey get away this did not change one bit. Only bringing him a new challenge right in front of him.

Hunter said "This does not change anything. You only gave me something better, in my decades I have hunted many beings, ponies, griffons, minotaur's, changelings" he licked his fangs when listing them off "And know I get the chance to kill something I have never seen in my entire life"

Hunter's talking didn't scare Dante it only bored the demonslayer for having to listen to the demon ramble "So what, all your saying is that you killed innocents. That only makes me want to kill you even more"

The Hunter chuckled slyly "That matter not to me. Once I kill you, your head will go with the rest of my collection"

Dante took rebellion off his back "That's too bad. Because taking my head will only have your hand sliced off"

Hunter snarled at dante's threat and got into pouching postion. He lowered his body close to the ground, putting pressure into his hind legs, he placed is free hand out on the ground and clutched it making his nails stab into the earth.

Dante moved his arm and had rebellion pointed down by his side, he placed his his left leg forward and his right leg back, taking on his own stance. They both stared at each other as time goes by.

And like animals their eyes harden and they both lunge at each other, Dante yelled "Ahh!!!" As he got close to the Hunter demon, and swing rebellion at the Hunter as the two fight inside the fog.

Back at the center of the kingdom, in the sky celestia, Luna, king and queen of griffonstone, twilight, spike, rainbow dash, fluttershy, and the group that had no wings that were carried by celestia made it to the center of the kingdom and landed down safely.

As they did black beak looked around him in confusion and shock "I don't understand. My men told me that the center was completely filled with demons, how is this..." the king could not believe it.

Celestia smiled and said "This would be the work of Dante that has done this"

Black beak turned to her "Dante? Is that the name of one of the warriors you spoke about?"

Pinkie came up and said "You got that right, you should have seen it! Danty jumped out of the carriage while still in the air and dived down like a bomb" she moved her hand up and acted the scene with it, she made bomb nosies "Zoom! And then when he landed Boom!" She startled everyone except the sisters and black beak "He knock every demon, sending them everywhere. He even left behind a crater see" she pointed at the crater.

Black beak and white feather' s minds were blown when seeing the crater. Showing that what pinkie was saying was true. Twilight continued from there "Dante's plan was to take care of the demons in the middle mostly because there were too many and would spread out further in the kingdom"

Black beak spoke in wonder "One creature did this all by himself, I see it but I just still can not believe this"

White feather said "And what about the other warrior, where is he?"

Luna said "Nero was task to move out through griffonstone, killing any demon with the guards and help your soldiers face them with his help" Luna summarize for the two "In fact he said he would meet us here.

"Look" everyone turn to applejack "There he is" they turned to where she was looking and like she said Nero was there, and with the guard's. Celestia notice that all guards was accounted for, they may have cuts and bruises that she could tell they all had but still looked fine, she was happy that Nero kept his word.

When Nero was in talking distance he said "Seem you guys got here first" he notice two griffons with him "And you brought the king and queen with you" he saw them both look at Nero all over, the same with the griffon's soldiers that have not seen him.

Rainbow flew up "Yup, we saved them and they came with us"

Fluttershy walked up to him "Are you all right, you don't have any wound or marks on you, do you?" She looked over him trying to see if he was hurt.

Nero shook his head "I'm fine but the guards might need some patching up" fluttershy nodded and moved to the guards and help them, rarity went to help her.

Luna asked "I suspect that all demons you encountered are beaten" she knew that Nero did it but said so any ways.

Nero grinned "That and then some" he looked over at the king and queen "I helped kill more demons with your men, and help protect your civilians from the demons also"

Black beak felt relived that his people are safe, he could tell that Nero may not look much but could sense power coming off the warrior. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed surprising the guards that a king would even bow to another "I thank you warrior, for putting yourself for my people"

Nero scratched and moved his hair a bit "There's no need king black beak, I'm just doing my job"

"My king!" They all looked up to see commander talon shot and his platoon flying over to them. Both king and queen saw someone with them and were overjoyed when seeing her.

She waved at them "Mom! Dad!" cheeriest wing waved her claw at them while holding captain granite by one arm while the other was held by a griffon soldier. They landed and cheeriest was given a family hug by her parents. The princess sheded tears when feeling their love. The scene made many around them smile.

White feather nuzzeled her daughter "Oh my little girl, I'm so glad that you are safe"

Black beak looked over to talon "Thank you my friend for keeping my daughter safe"

He was surprised by what talon said "I wouldn't say that my king, princess cheeriest was actually inside the fog. We met her when she came out" he pointed at the fog that everyone except Nero just notice until he pointed his claw at it.

Pinkie scratched her puffy mane "Huh when did that get there"

Nero said factly "It was always there. You all just didn't notice"

Black beak turned back to cheeriest and asked "Are you alright, how did you even get in there"

Cheerest said "I don't know, when the demons attack captain granite found me and was going to bring me back to the castle. But then before we could get into the air the fog came out of nowhere and trapped us inside. We walked inside the fog not flying because we couldn't see anything and might fly into a wall or something, as we moved forward something came out of the fog and took two of granite's soldiers"

They looked over at the unconcioues captain, and back to cheeriest as she continues "One by one each soldier was taken, and two were grabbed by the demon that attacked us. When it was just me and granite it walked out of the fog, granite tried fighting it but his sword did nothing and was knocked away by the demon" cheeriest covered her eyes as the images of the demon killing the soldiers appeared in her mind "I was so scared, I t-thought I was going to die" she hiccuped, her mother went to her side and hugged her.

Everyone felt bad for the poor princess, but then twilight asked "If That's so how did you escape?" They all wanted to know so she told them.

Her emotion changed from being sad to happy, and took on a dream like look "Right when the demon tried attacking me, a being came out of the fog and kicked the demon away. He put himself between the demon and us"

The royal griffon parents wanted to know who this being was but everyone else already suspected who it was. Nero said "Let me guess this person had black messy hair, a black coat loosely placed, and a silver like sword"

Cheeriest nodded her head "Yes! That's him. He saved us from the demon, it was like watching a brave knight saving his love~"

This caught three mares attention from how cheeriest phrased it. They looked at her in suspicion.

Celestia said "Dante gave you a chance to escape instead of just killing the demon. That would mean he could be facing the leader of this demon army" her summery made sense to the ponies because of how strong Dante and Nero are, the only thing that could challenge them is a high tier demon like berial, and the dreamrunner or a demon stronger than the last two demon bosses.

Starlight was watching the fog until it started to shrink, starlight called to everyone "Look the fog is starting to fade away"

They looked at the fog as it gets smaller, Nero found it strange that it would just start shrinking, he asked talon shot "How long as this fog been here?"

Talon said "About 5 hours warrior of equestria"

"5 hours... something must be going on inside for it to shrink" they watch as it still gets smaller, when something shoot out of the fog in the air. Everyone looked at it as what ever it is start to fall towards them. It wasn't heading for them but the crater Dante made. It slammed down on the crater and bringing up dust and rocks from the impact.

Everyone looked at where the being landed as they wait to see what it is. Nero with his demonic senses knew it was Dante that crashed down, but what surprised him was that it was Dante that was sent out of the fog "The hell could have knocked him far out inside the fog, it must be the demon leader celestia suspects that Dante must have been fighting"

And like he thought as the dust from his landing started to fade away Dante was getting himself back up. He looked very annoyed meaning his fight wasn't going so well.

He rubbed the back of his head, Nero saw a bruised mark on his left cheek but healed before anyone could notice except him "God dammit that hurt"

Rainbow dash yelled out "Dante you ok?!" She sounded worried, he looked to see everyone there including some griffons and talon shot in the mix. He cursed in his mind that of all the places had to be, it was the middle of the kingdom where is friends are gathered.

Twilight was worried that Dante might have sustain any fatal wounds when he crashed down "Don't worry Dante I have a healing spell that should-" she spoke while walking over to him but Dante cut her off.

He said "No! Stay back, all of you" she stopped and like everyone else that heard him being serious was a warning in its own rights. Before she could ask, the Hunter demon ran out of the fog and rushed to Dante. Twilight quick flew away when seeing the demon and the princesses, guards, soldiers, all pulled out their weapons as the giant demon went for Dante.

Dante sighed when seeing the Hunter, he summoned rebellion again and when the Hunter leaped and pointed it's dagger at him Dante swung rebellion intercepting the dagger and moving his body to the side redirecting the demons momentum, and sending him crashing into a building behind Dante.

Dante turned and looked at the building crash onto the Hunter, dante smirked "How do you like that you overgrown monkey!" he yelled out.

A hand came out of the building, scaring the females in the large group. Hunter pushed his way out of the building and showed no cuts or damage that angered Dante. Since he fought the demon every hit he made with rebellion on the demon did nothing, it was like he was hitting armor and not skin.

Once the Hunter was completely out of the building he crawled around to be in a good distance from Dante. He notice the griffons and ponies, when he saw celestia and Luna he started to laugh, confusing and making them feel uncomfortable.

"I see that berial failed in taking canterlot" this news of information that the Hunter some how had caught their attention.

Nero walked up "Yup, him and his army got destroyed. The same will happen to you and your army just like his"

Hunter growled at nero but notice he had a somewhat same scent as dante, resembling a demon but mixed with something else. Hunter found Nero's words insulting "Do not compare me with that arrogant fool. I am much stronger and smarter then he was"

Nero raised an eyebrow "That fact isn't true unless you do conquer the griffon kingdom, and you don't only have one problem on your hands you got"

Hunter was too focus on nero to notice dante running up to him. He notice to late when dante jumped and yell "Two!" Dante summoned eryx and punched hunter off the ground, shocking the griffons of the display of raw power from just one punch.

Dante didn't stop there and switched eryx for rebellion and used "Helmbreaker" slamming the blade onto the hunters chest but resulted in rebellion being binked back the demons flesh.

Hunter tried grabbing him at that moment but Dante jumped over his hand, and landed on the ground. Hunter smashed his palm on the ground and sent it at Dante, he dodged backwards but the nails dug deep in the ground sent rock and dirt that hit dante in the face.

Hunter got back up and swung his arm at Dante, he landed a hit and sent him flying. Dante hit the ground, he groaned before getting back up and in good timing because the Hunter was charging right at him.

Hunter swung his dagger and Dante swung rebellion, their blades made contact as the two fought. Everyone watch as Dante face the Hunter in combat, they both moved around in the center neither one losing ground from the other.

As they watch the fight twilight notice when Dante dodged a swipe from the hunters claws and jumped up, hitting the side of the hunters face, she saw that there was no cut mark on his face from dante's sword.

Twilight said "What's going on? Dante got a clean hit on the demon but it did nothing!" The rest looked at the demons face, having no slash mark from rebellion. They soon notice this more when Dante deflected hunters dagger and hit his stomach but left no mark.

Rainbow said "How is that even possible? Dante took out an army with that sword, and beaten that demon that tried killing you with it"

Nero thought the same and tried remembering anything about the Hunter. A memory came to mind, it was when Dante was playing "Dmc reboot" and fought the Hunter, he remembered that a women that threw a cocktail at the Hunter, burning his face and breaking his shell.

Nero thought of a way he could burn the Hunter, he looked at his devil bringer and thought of the weapon he got from berial "Looks like I'll be using my new toy here"

Dante was pushed back by hunters dagger, then knocked away. The girls were worried, the same for everyone that watch as Dante was forced to defend himself and not be able to attack because his strikes would do nothing.

Pinkie spoke in worry as her hair start to droop "Oh no! Dante's losing!"

That's when a bright red light attracted everyone. They turned to see Nero summoning Berial, the bow appeared in his devil bringer, shocking the griffons of the weapon coming out of nowhere to them.

Luna said "Nero what are you do?" She asked, she knew what Nero might be doing but it would not be of him to interfere in a fight unless Dante was completely in danger.

Nero pulled the flame like string and a fire arrow was created. Nero said "Just giving Dante a little help so he doesn't get himself killed" Nero remember that in the game the girl aimed at the face but he thought he should hit places that Dante could hit.

So as he planned on the places he would hit, five arrows appeared with the first. Nero pointed the arrows right at the Hunter just when he was about to jump at Dante, Nero fired all six arrows. The arrows moved like they had a mind of their own, because each arrow turned and went for the places nero thought in his head.

It was like the arrows were fired from a sniper, going so fast that the Hunter didn't notice them until they all hit him. He first felt pain and then burning, lots, and lots of burning. The Hunter flail around in pain, something he hasn't felt in a while thanks to his outer layer.

Dante watch with widen eyes as the Hunter was on fire, from his face to his chest. The Hunter dropped to the ground and rolled until the fire was gone. It took a minute for the fire to be gone all over his body, Hunter breathed roughly and felt somewhat tired from the sudden pain.

Everyone was surprised that nero's bow was able to hurt the demon, twilight stuttered "W-what?! How did you"

Nero said "That demon is called a Hunter demon, or Hunter for short. Not a lot of things could hurt him because of his tough skin, but if you have fire then you could destroy apart of his outer layer to actually hurt him" Nero let berial go back inside his devil bringer.

Dante was able to hear him and facepalmed inside his head "Holy shit! How could I forget, I fucken fought this guy in the game before. Well at least know I can hurt him"

Applejack then asked "But wait, why didn't Dante try that?"

Nero answered jokfuly "Mostly because Dante doesn't really much think when ever he in a fight, just blackness and his penut size brain" what he said made some laugh and others chuckle.

Dante yelled at Nero "Oh shut it you white haired jerk" all he got was a grin from Nero that annoyed him. He looked back at the Hunter, the demon rising up slowly. Dante moved up to the downed demon "How does it feel, it must be really painful" he said in fake worry.

Hunter was able to get himself in his normal position. He growled at Dante and said "You may have found my one weakness but I can still kill you. I am not alone in this kingdom, just like with berial I to have someone with me"

As he said that Hunter howled out making many to cover their ears as he howled. When he finish everyone took their hands off their ears. Nero's senses sky rocket out of nowhere, something was coming and fast. Then in the distance a explosion roared out close to the castle. Everyone turned to see building flying wildly in the air but then something started crashing through more homes and was heading right to them.

Fluttershy said "What is t-that" no one answered as what ever it is was getting closer.

That's when up ahead of the thing two griffon soldiers appeared, they both had fear on their face. They flew pass a few houses and didn't seem to notice the group.

Rarity said in a fearful tone "My word, what are they running from?"

And when she said that something large, bigger than the Hunter flew up and smashed through the buildings. This made everyone move back but Nero as he watch the thing disend on the two griffons. It grabbed one of the soldiers with its teeth and the other with its right hand, crushing the one in his hand and slightly biting the griffon so he could hear him scream.

With the buildings out of the way everyone could see the demon fully. First off is the appearance, it reminded them of berial but with no mane like the demon, on his back was four white wings that gave away that he can fly, he had a scorpion tail and two glowing red eyes that were circle like. The demon crushed the soldier in his hand, and bite completely killing the griffon in his teeth.

It was disgusting for everyone mostly the females in the group, rarity, fluttershy, and pinkie felt like pucking same for the guards and soldiers. But the princesses and king black beak pulled their weapons out just in case the demon would go for them next.

Nero looked all over the demon and instantly knew who it was "Beowolf" Nero whispered as the demon turned to the Hunter. Nero could see that beowolf was looking all over the Hunter seeing him flinch from the pain of his burned body, but instead of being worried beowolf just laughed at him.

Everyone looked in confusion expect Nero the knew beowolf would not care about the hunters wounds. The demon laughed and said "Look at you! Hahaha... you thought you were big but it looks like a fool like you can be beaten by weak griffons"

Black beak and his soldiers did not like the rude remark he said about his kind, Hunter was fed up by his circumstances and said "You damn cat! The griffons did nothing to me, it was these creatures that are helping them.

Beowolf evened out his eyes but then captured a scent he's never smelled before. He looked where he smelled it and saw a creature with the ponies and griffons. Beowolf has never seen anything like it, and could also smell no fear coming from the thing that hit his pride.

He moved a bit forward making everyone jump and ready for a fight, but Nero just looked at beowolf making the demon feel cautious that made him think of the sudden reason.

Beowolf said out loud " Your scent... it's different and familiar. You smell like a demon but theirs something mixed with it, the smell hurts and annoys me"

Black beak was skeptical what beowolf said, that Nero and even Dante could be demons. He looked over at celestia that felt his eyes land on her, she looked back at him to see him look at her with a questionable look.

She didn't think that she should tell him but would caused commotion if not settled "Yes my friend both Nero and Dante are part demon, but don't let that fool you they are nothing like the evil demons but good and compassionate"

The king thought about it and would ask them himself when this is all over. Hunter did not like that beowolf was not going to help him and said "Beowolf help me kill this creature and not stand there looking like an idot!"

Beowolf did not care what Hunter said, he said back "Quit you overgrown ape! I have been doing what I wanted since we attacked, killing every griffon I see. I did just came from attacking a group of soldiers trying to take civilians to the castle"

What he said made Nero widen his eyes because he only knew one group that was heading to the castle at the time "He couldn't..." Nero thought but was wrong.

"You should have seen them, I killed every last one of those birds thinking they could get away from me" he grinned at the thought.

Nero looked over at the dead griffons and saw that they resemble the others soldiers that were with Gilda, Nero places it all together that those griffons he helped save are.... "The little girl"

Beowolf was then shot at by king black beak that had the look of anger on his face, he was seething mad that his griffons were killed before getting to the castle with the rest and most likely others that did the same.

"You foul demon! Youh will pay for killing my people!!!" He yelled out, scaring not only his men from seeing their king so angry but his daughter that's never seen her father so mad before.

Beowolf chuckled from the anger he felt from the king, the arrow he shot fell to the ground from not even piercing the demon. Beowolf placed his front paws down and walked on four legs towards them slowly "I was actually trying to get you out of the castle but it seems you were out here all along, I'll kill you and rip open your flesh and eat your heart!"

Beowolf would have done so if Nero wasn't there. Something was fired and hit beowolf in the face, making his head turn from the impact and almost slip on his left paw. He placed his right paw on his face and felt pain from what ever that hit him. He looked at the group and only saw one up front and with something in his hand.

It was nero that attacked him, he had blue rose in his hand, he used "Charged shot 3" wanting to do a lot of damage on beowolf.

Beowolf could sense rage coming from the creature. Nero's eyes were covered by his hair. When he look up and at beowolf his eyes were seen from under. Nero had a dead look in his eyes, staring at beowolf and behind that look was anger from what might have happen to Gilda and the griffon child he saved.

The others could see his eyes and backed away from him, celestia and Luna could feel completely rage coming from Nero and was focus on beowolf, they did not know why he was so angry but did not want to get in his way of anger. Nero put blue rose away and placed his left hand on the handle of red queen and walked up to beowolf. He stopped meters away from him, he looked up at the high tier demon with no fear.

Beowolf was mad that he let himself get hit and the pain he felt from the shot, he yelled at nero "You dare attack me creature, do you now who I am!"

Nero turned his body and revved red queen once, he looked at beowolf the demon only seeing one eyes that held something powerful behind them but only saw a hateful look aimed at him.

"I don't care if you a demon or some kind of God. Your going to pay for every life you taken here and before, by the end of this you'll be lying dead with one eye mismatched the other" beowolf stepped back from nero's words and the demonic power he felt from him.

Dante chuckled when seeing Nero, Hunter heard him and said "What's so funny?" in a angry like tone.

Dante said "You both are shit out of luck, when you make one of use mad the other carries the sentiment" Dante twirled rebellion and was ready for round 2. Both sides were up against two demons like berial and the dreamrunner, maybe even stronger that the first two. This fight will either end the conflict or continue with the griffon kingdom falling to the demons.

Author's Note

I will be putting "The blue blazing dragonslayer" on hold. I have been working on another story, and this one will be different from my other two stories.

Chapter 7 Boss fight #2

The kingdom of griffonstone was attacked. A army of demons assaulted and tried to seized the kingdom, luckily with the help of the royal sister, element's of harmony, and two demonslayers they were able to stop and defeat the demons that roamed the kingdom.

As of know in the center of griffonstone, a crowd of both ponies and griffon's watch as two battles were about to begin.
On the right was dante facing off against the hunter demon that tried killing cheerest wing. And on the left was nero going up against Beowolf that killed two griffon soldiers that were under the command of captain gilda.

They watched dante and nero stare down the two high-tier demons. They both had their reasons in fighting the demon leaders, and the most focused reason was that they were pissed. The hunter demon not getting hurt by dante's attacks, and beowolf possibly killing Gilda and the griffon girl Nero saved.

Beowolf snarled at Nero, the ponies and griffon soldiers kept their guard up just in case. Beowolf was irritated by the smell coming from nero "I will purge your scent off this world!"

Nero glared at him. A glare that could freeze one in place and wish they could die easily, he said "That won't be happening. When this is over, death will be the only thing you smell" Nero slammed red queen into the ground, he revved her handle, the blade heating into EX mode.

Dante glared at the Hunter demon, but smirked "With your body exposed this will be easy. Your going down monkey!"

Hunter growled at dante "Your life is already forfeited. I'll hang your flesh on my wall" everyone except Dante cringed and almost some of the girls gagged at how disgusting Hunter phrased it.

Dante said "Keep dreaming demon! Only the strong survive, I'm way pass your league" he pointed his thump at himself, Dante swung rebellion a bit. He pointed the blade at Hunter "You'll be my second boss kill" he held his sword by his side "Prepare yourself!"

It seemed like hours as they continued to stare each other down. Time was forgotten as a chunk of rock fell off a house, when it hit the ground dante and nero's eyes harden and they both charged their opponents.

Nero used "EX Streak" propelling himself at beowolf while spinning, beowolf dodged the attack by jumping up and hovered in midair thanks to his wings. Roaring he dropped down intent on smashing Nero. Nero jumped back in time before beowolf smashing down into the ground, rolling and leaping back on his feet, the two were once again distance away from each other.

Caution was out of their minds for them both, Nero ran at beowolf, and him doing the same. When they got close beowolf swung his right claw at Nero, dodging and leading to side of his swing nero capitalise and went in for a hit. Red queen wasn't heated but it didn't matter, Nero jumped up and slashed beowolf's front waist.

Beowolf was tough so nero's attack didn't harm him much, just a scratch to the huge demon. Beowolf sent a fist down at nero, he dodged to the side and stabbed red queen into his arm. That actually hurt beowolf as he roared in pain, he swung his arm into a building. He felt nero's hold on him release. Beowolf was going to smash the building with nero inside but a large wooden plank was sent at him, smashing against his face and blinding him, he open his eyes to see a boot smash into his face and send him to the ground.

Nero used the plank as a distraction so that he could get close and get a solid hit. Kicking beowolf to the ground, Nero landed on his feet as beowolf rubbed his sore face.

He growled at nero "You.... how are you this strong. Something so small shouldn't have such strength?!"

Nero didn't much care, he wanted to kill beowolf for the lives he's taken "Shut your mouth dog, you should be more worried about your life. It will end here today" nero crouched down slightly in a sword stance with red queen in his left hand. Beowolf stood back up and they resume their battle.

As for dante, he ran at Hunter just like nero did but kept on going until he was up close. Leaping up dante went in for a swing, Hunter pulled back his arm with his large dagger grasped in hand. Swinging down at dante, him doing the same, their weapons clashed. Their strength knocking them both back, halting themselves and moving back in at each other, the two did battle swinging their blades around intent on killing the other.

Sparks appeared when ever their blades met. Dante put more power in his swings than before, knowing holding back would not be wise, he got hunter to move back from his attacks. Hunter maybe blocking and evading but he couldn't land a hit on dante either not to mention dante's forceful approach that left Hunter stepping back from dante's sword blows against his dagger.

Everypony, and griffon watch in amazement as dante and nero face off the demon leaders. The ponies such as the main six, and princesses already seen them fight, and display their skills when facing berial and the dreamrunner, but they couldn't help but be amazed by their strength and movements. Pony guards and griffon soldiers watched intently at them both, their skills in combat looking weak compared to dante's and nero's.

Black beak was also in awe as him and his family watch two so called demonslayers fight two high-tier demons singlehandedly, black beak said "My word! Those two are more skilled than my entire army of soldiers. I have never heard or seen beings called demonslayers, but this very much proves it" he looked between Nero and Dante keeping an eye on them both.

Celestia smiled at black beaks comment "I will agree black beak. I myself thought the same when they saved me and Luna from the demons that attacked canterlot. Watching them again is a sight to see"

Cheeriest wing was only looking at dante's fight as she gushed over him "This is incredible! Sir Dante is trading blows with that monster, his bravery to not only save me but fight for our kingdom is honorable" she cheered for dante, as rainbow dash, pinkie pie, and twilight sideways glare at her.

White feather was just like her husband, surprised "When you told us that their powerful skilled warriors I didn't really believe you both. But know seeing it, I'm more surprised to be honest" the sisters felt slightly bad that white feather didn't believe them, but knew she was a griffon that's hard to persuade.

Luna rolled her eyes at her "Well look and behold white feather. Our knew found friends show how true our words spoke of them" she teased at white feather that glared at her.

Torrent sky's and the rest of the guards watched nero's fight, they kept a close eye on the fight watching nero's moves and fighting prowess, their respect for him grew, not only of nero's leadership skills but his combat skills.

Talon shot agreed with Luna, but said "True princess Luna, but it seems their opponents are just as formidable" and he was right, beowolf unlike berial was actually doing better than the flame demon, and Hunter unlike dreamrunner faced drake in battle and seemed to be fairing well.

A powerful gust of wind surprised everyone as they covered their faces. Looking at where it came from, they saw nero above beowolf with his sword striking something. Looking closer it was beowolf's wings blocking nero's strike. With a mighty roar beowolf open his wings and sent Nero away from him. Landing on his feet Nero watched beowolf fly into the air, his wings glowed and suddenly he fired glowing feathers at him.

Knowing that anything a demon throw at you is lethal, nero moved and dodged the feathers. Beowolf's wings were wide open so some of his feather was aimed at everyone else. Thinking fast celestia, Luna, twilight, and starlight created a shield to block the feather.

Applejack got mad at beowolf for firing at them "That darn ugly mutt! Nero! Kick his flank"

Nero heard her and went to do as she said. Studying the feathers coming at him, nero was able to smack them away as he headed for beowolf. Seeing this, beowolf released his demonic power and sent flurries of feathers at nero moving faster than before.

Thinking fast nero slammed red queen into the ground, revving her up until she was in EX mode. He pulled her out of the ground, he spun backward and slashed diagonally sending a wave of fire out of red queen and at beowolf. The burning wave torched beowolf's feathers and was close to hitting him, luckily beowolf pulled his wings and blocked it. He felt his wings start to burn from the attack, and the force pushing him back in the air.

Beowolf grunted, ignoring the pain "Damn creature. He's putting up a fight I haven't faced in a long time" while thinking beowolf heard something soar towards him, before he could do anything it hit and exploded on contact. The attack was far stronger than the wave and sent beowolf to the ground while yelling in pain.

He got back up and looked over at Nero. In his hands was a flaming bow with a fire arrow glowing in intensity. Nero fired the arrow making beowolf widen his red eyes and move out of the way. The arrow flew until it hit the ground causing an explosion like before.

Growling beowolf sent his feathers at him, but nero rolled out of the way, he crouched lining himself before firing another arrow calling his attack "Blast Shot" that forced beowolf to pull his arms up and block the explosion faring better than before. He moved his arms to see nero not in front of him. Confused he looked around side to side but still not seeing him, everyone else also looked for him because they were looking at beowolf that block the arrow.

Above them on top of the roof, nero ran around unknown to beowolf. Jumping up Nero was right above beowolf. Beowolf thinking used his sense of smell to find him, when he did it was already to late. Nero used "Split" diving down at beowolf, he looked up in time for Nero to slam red queen in his faced and slam him into the ground.

The slam attack created a large cloud around the two. Everyone watching couldn't see a thing inside, they were startled when nero came out, leaping backwards with red queen in his hands. Nero breathed out, this fight was nothing like the first boss fight "Bastards strong, the game about him wasn't messing around" Nero thought.

Looking at the cloud two red eyes opened within. In a angered roar beowolf waved his wings and blew the cloud away. Nero covered his face from beowolf's action, looking back nero was faced with beowolf charging over to him.

Beowolf sent an overhead claw at Nero, he dodged to the left but had to raise red queen to block a fast punch by beowolf. His boots grinded the ground from the force, pushing him back. Stopping himself, Nero looked to see beowolf charging at him again.

Not wanting to get pushed back again, Nero pulled out blue rose in his right hand and fired a "Charge shot 2" that hit beowolf making him stop and stun the demon. Using that chance nero ran to beowolf that cleared himself. Seeing nero beowolf swiped sideways at him but nero spun over it and fired another shot that once again stunned beowolf.

Angered by nero's acts, beowolf said "Dammit! I will kill you creature!" Beowolf couldn't see and tried clearing his eyes again but nero didn't let this chance slip and used "Roulette Spin" slashing up his stomach and chest then sending a right kick hitting beowolf on the chest. The kick knocked beowolf slightly off the ground as he dropped flat face first.

Getting up beowolf quickly went back to nero and sending his claw at him. Rolling to the left, Nero dodged his attack as the ground shook. The palm of beowolf's claw shattered the earth where nero was and caused broken buildings to break and fall.

Nero used "Streak" sending himself at beowolf's left leg and slashed it. Beowolf turned and punched downwards, Nero saw the fist coming and back rolled pass it. Getting up nero jumped using "Hopper" to stab red queen in beowolf's shoulder. Revving the handle beowolf felt the stinging heat and quickly tried grabbing him, but nero having red queen in EX again flipped himself up by using his sword propelling his body over beowolf's claw.

Nero slashed at beowolf's face but the demon blocked it with both of his arm. The power and heat was another story because it burned and the slash cut Into his arm, but steeling himself beowolf pushed nero back forcing him away.

The push left Nero in the air defenseless so beowolf sent a fist at him. Seeing it Nero had no choice but to cover his head from the attack. Beowolf struck Nero as he cover his side with his arms, pushing his arm beowolf sent Nero into a building. Nero crashed inside as everyone watched, the guards looked in dispear while everypony else yelled out his name.

Luna, applejack, and fluttershy were the most vocal and sounded most fearful that nero could be badly hurt. Not letting his chance get away, beowolf fired his glowing feathers at the building, destroying everything outside and within the house. He kept on going until it collapsed and left nothing but a pile of rubble.

Beowolf looked at the house, he sniffed to make sure and smelled nothing "Ha! I must have destroyed him that his body left nothing behind" he laughed out loud as the guards pulled their shields up and so did the griffon soldiers just incase he comes to them.

Black beak looked sadden that someone so strong that helped fight against the demons was killed, he looked at celestia "I am sorry this happened my friend. He did his very best in battle"

Celestia looked passive, and her horned glowed. She stopped and smiled, not turning to black beak "Oh I wouldn't say it's over yet black beak" he looked at her confusingly, so did his wife and everyone that heard her.

Beowolf turned and looked where Hunter was, seeing the other demon trading strikes with his opponent but seeing Hunter losing. Beowolf said "Might as well help kill the other one" he was going to do that but someone stopped him.

Shooting out of the rubble, nero was close to beowolf's cheek and in a shout of fury punched his cheek with his devil bringer. The punched hurt, shocked, and made beowolf feel dizzy as the demon was sent to his own building as it crashed down on him. Everyone looked at Nero in shock, mostly black beak and his kind that thought he would die from such a attack from the demon.

Celestia looked at them in a sly way "What? Did you all possible think our dear Nero would lose so easily?" what she said got them to say no, Luna didn't think Nero lost she was mostly worried if he got injured, the same with fluttershy and applejack.

They looked at him, seeing his coat had dust marks on it and his hair completely messy that made rarity gasp and hope to help him clean and fix it. But the most awestrucked was that Nero wasn't harmed. He wasn't bleeding or had any bruises that should be apparent when fighting a strong foe.

Looking at his face, the male guards felt scared and the mares flinched. Nero had on a passive look on his face, but his eyes told them he wasn't happy.

Nero said while walking over to beowolf "You know, I can't lie that this fight has been enjoyable. This shows how tough and resilient I am, gonna need to work on my tactics when faced against another boss in the future, but that can wait" he reached beowolf and grabbed his exposed hind leg. Grabbing it he pulled and spun, beowolf felt himself get pulled and wailed in confusion as his body started to spin.

Everyone watched with widen eyes as nero so much smaller than beowolf was spinning the large demon with no problem at all. Nero spun, and spun until they looked like a spinning top. He stopped and let beowolf go, sending the demon away and crash to the ground. Nero rolled his shoulder while looking at beowolf, he saw the demon get up slowly but could tell he was both hurt and very dizzy.

Beowolf was faced away from nero, getting up he wobbled but stood tall. Turning he walked carefully back to nero, he stopped a few feet away "You... I'll make you pay with your blood!!" he huffed and breathed out. The Dragon spin nero did tired the demon also.

Nero ruffled his hair, he wanted to end this fight know so he planned his next attack and was ready in just seconds. Nero said "Sorry big guy, but I can't do that. I can have you taste your own blood" nero placed red queen on his back, putting her back inside her sheath. His actions confusing the crowd and wondering what he was doing.

Nero's devil bringer started to glow catching their attention and mostly the guards. Soon a sword appeared in a blue light, one of the guards seeing the sword said in wonder "Lieutenant torrent, that sword" torrent saw the sword and knew instantly this fight was about to end.

Him and the guards smiled, each of them knowing Nero's powers when using the sword when seeing it first hand. Torrent chuckled "That demon got no chance in winning know" the girls and princesses heard him and wondered what was so special about the sword.

Luna said "Care to inform us what your talking about?" she asked.

Torrent said "You'll see princess. Sir nero is going to beat that demon before it knows it's already lost" hearing him they went back to watching nero as he took a crouching stance and had his left hand over the handle.

Beowolf stood strong ready to face nero once more, but he would not get the chance to fight back. Nero said "I'd guard myself if I was you" his hand slowly went to grasp the handle.

Beowolf sneered at Nero "Guard? Like I would listen to my-" he cut himself off when Nero dissapered in a blue flash. Beowolf didn't get the chance to startle back as Nero appeared near his right eye and slash down cutting his eyes.

Before beowolf roared in pain, Nero flashed back where he stood. Beowolf clutched his eyes in pain, flailing his head as his eye was rendered blind. Blood from the wound went down his face.

Everyone was shocked at the speed drake showed. One moment he was crouch down ready to fight, next thing they knew he was gone, appearing near beowolf's right eye, cutting his eye and appearing back. Celestia and Luna didn't know how nero was able to move so fast but suspected it was because of his sword in his hand.

Beowolf went down to all four while he still clutched his right eye. Letting his right hand off his eye, everyone could see the vertical slash mark and the blood leaking out. Beowolf was know beyond furious, he felt humiliated that he was easily wounded by nero.

"Ahhh! You tiny miserable little bastard! I'll kill and eat your corpse for what you did to my eye" he huffed in rage and pain.

Nero looked at beowolf boringly that they all notice. Nero wiped his hair that made Luna, fluttershy, applejack, and the guards mares blush.

Nero said "Your mistake was not guarding yourself like I said. Demons like you never learn, and when you face something stronger than you. All you can do is get angry" nero's body started to glow blue. Just like yesterday night,when Nero faced berial. Nero activated his devil trigger as his demon spirit came out. The release of power blew rocks and wood away from him.

The main six, spike, and princesses looked in awe seeing drake show his power again. Starlight looked in both fear and awe as she could feel nero's demonic energy, powerful and calm like a waterfall. The guards almost dropped their weapons when Nero released his devil trigger. Torrent and them looked in shock and surprise, Nero saying he was part demon being true to them.

As for the griffons, they couldn't sense magic but knew nero was something not normal. Black beak stared at both Nero and his spirit in amazement and fear as such a being could cause a person ruling over a kingdom to feel fear.

Beowolf was startled by nero's sudden change. And like berial he could feel nero's demonic power, the power was so great it seemed endless.

Beowolf looked into nero's red eyes feeling something within him he hasn't felt by only the one person who freed him, and it was dispear, a type of feeling like you had no way out, your time was going to end here and now.

"You us your strength and power to kill those innocent" Nero crouched down, his left hand gripping yamato and his spirit moving with him "I'll use my strength to cut you down, and my power to kill you..."

And like that Nero again flashed and appeared next to beowolf's left front claw and slashed the claw twice, he flashed to the right and did the same, then the back legs slashing both the left and right hind legs as his spirit followed his movement's making nero's slashed not two but four times.

This all happened in five seconds thanks to nero's speed. Cancelling his devil trigger time seem to flow as beowolf felt his arms and legs in pain. Before he dropped to the ground, Nero jumped towards his back and spun his body like a chainsaw and slashed over his back. When he got to the head, Nero stopped and dropped kicked beowolf's head then flashing away.

The display of nero's unknown ability and seeing him appear on beowolf back got them thinking of how fast nero is. To their eyes they couldn't see him until he somehow got on beowolf's back, then flashing away.

Spike was flabbergasted at nero's speed 'Woah.... That's so cool! He's so fast he got behind him with the demon knowing, heck we didn't know either"

Twilight was fascinated by nero's sudden change in skill "Incredible, somehow nero's is moving faster than he was before. That sword must give him properties of speed only for him"

Nero looked at beowolf that struggled to keep himself up. Nero changed that when he used one of vergil's useful abilities, Nero waved yamato and summoned five blue crystallic swords above beowolf. Seeing the swords, everyone looked in bewilderment that nero created swords made out of crystals in thin air.

Waving yamato down, the swords dropped down aimed for his back. Each sword impaled into beowolf making him fall to the ground. His roar sounded weaker than all the other times, but this one sounded badly hurt and sullen.

Sheathing yamato, nero said "Are you going to die lying on the ground? Hmm... a fitting end for a dog needing to be put down" Nero knew beowolf wasn't going to die from his injuries. He said that so beowolf would get up and possible charge at him, and it worked.

Beowolf slowly started to rise on all four appendages. The crystal swords were still inside him but seemed to not mind them. He looked up, his furious one eye aimed at nero, he yelled out in a craze way that startled and scared everyone except the pony princesses, and nero.

Huffing in a tired state, and feeling his body sting every second, beowolf said "I... will not die... someone like me, could never lose!!!" He then suddenly charged at Nero, but this was part of nero's plan all along.

When beowolf got close he lifted his right claw for one final attack slamming his claw down at nero, but nero was fast and agile. He flipped over his claw and pulled yamato out, nero while flipping up slashed four times through beowolf's head and landing on his neck.

Everyone watched in silence as beowolf didn't move. Relaxing his arms beowolf spoke to Nero in a defeated tone "Y-you are no normal demon. Y-your smell reminds me of s-someone. T-to be defeated like this, h-how could this be"

Nero waved yamato with the sheath held behind his back, he slide the sword back inside slowly as he talked back to beowolf one last time "It's really simple. You lost because you were weaker, facing me was your biggest mistake from the beginning. All you smell know is your own blood as you die by my blade" nero clicked yamato inside the scarabard, when he did beowolf face split in half.

The head fell off in four pieces that made the girls bleach and look away. With his battle over and his opponent dead nero leaped off of beowolf as the rest of his body fell down and his wings die out it's light. Blood poured out of his headless body as a bluish white light glowed from his body.

Seeing the light and knowing what it is. Nero putting yamato away stuck his hand out and opened his palm. The light came out as a ball and flew towards nero's hand, a blinding light shined and blinded everyone. When the light dimed down and was gone they all opened their eyes, looking at nero the ponies looked in remembrance while the griffons looked in shock and awe.

Nero stood looking at his new weapons. Equipped on his hands were the gauntlet's from the game vergil obtains by killing beowolf. Just like in the game they glowed white faintly and was made out of powerful black material, even stronger than steel or any other kind of strong metal. But their was a difference, nero's left hand looked just like In the game. But his right hand was morphed, beowolf was fused together with his devil bringer.

His devil bringer looked the same, but the light glowed bluish white and fused with black parts from beowolf that made his right hand look bigger than his left. His spirit also changed and so did his demonic energy color. The color was the same like his devil bringer, and the spirit looked different from his other two. His spirit had two horns coming out of it's forehead, it wore a scaled armor plate around it's chest and torso, it's biggest difference was it had four arms that had gauntlets on each hand that resembled beowolf's claws, his mouth area was covered by a scarf and had a red slash mark over it's right eye.

Nero closed his eyes and let his new found power connect to his demonic energy and when done his devil trigger cancelled by itself, beowolf shined and dissapered into his devil trigger returning to it's normal blue color. Sighing nero relaxed his body knowing his battle was completely over. Also knowing that, the princesses with twilight and starlight dropped the shield over them.

Luna cheered for nero's victory, feeling proud of him "Yes! Sir nero has vanquished the demon, there was no way he would lose" she smiled, not noticing her sister looking at her in a sly smirk.

Spike heard something coming and looked right, his eyes widen and yelled "Look out!!" Grabbing everyones attention. Heading for them was large rocks that the princesses fired with magic, blasting it into pieces. Looking at where it came from they saw dante cutting thrown rocks in half that Hunter been throwing at him from a distance.

He cut another rock and directed it away from the group "Sorry about that" he sheepishly said to them. Getting aggravated, Dante started to charge at Hunter while slicing every rock thrown at him. Hunter stopped throwing rocks and got ready for dante. Getting closer Hunter attacked first swinging his dagger, Dante slid on the ground and put a lot of strength in his swing. Swinging rebellion Dante smacked hunters dagger up in the air, his attack knocking the demons weapon out of his hands.

Hunter surprised and weaponless dante didn't hold back. Switching rebellion for eryx he jumped, punching him in the stomach. His punch forced Hunter to his knees as Dante clocked him in the face sending the demon away rolling. Following him dante again switched weapons choosing osiris.

Hunter got up only to face dante's boot. Kicking the demon but still stood standing, Dante used "Hanger" he spun cutting right, then slashed left, Dante under over slash upwards. He then used "Shredder" spinning osiris forwards cutting his face harshly.

Shaking his head, hunter tried getting Dante off. He went to grab him but dante jumped off, then stabbed osiris into his hand. With osiris hooked dante pulled Hunter down and smashed his face to the ground. He unhooked osiris out of his hand, Dante smiled glad that he could do damage on the Hunter demon "What's wrong? Can't handle getting hurt. Do you want be to stop so that you can put a layer on your skin"

Dante joked and mad fun of Hunter. In anger Hunter jumped up from the ground and tried smashing Dante with his fist, Dante dodged the fist and distances himself. Hunter used that chance to retrieve his dagger, Hunter thought "Grr... damn pest. It pains me to admitte it, but He's far stronger and difficult to fight up close. I going to have to use others means in killing him"

Hunter planned on fighting dante while hidden so he breathed in and exhaled black smoke, the kind he used when hunting the griffons and almost killing cheeriest if dante have not came to save her. He smiled evily at dante as he hid himself within his fog.

Hunter enclosed him and dante inside while everyone looked at the large dome of fog from the outside. Dante looked around him trying to see if he could sense Hunter but found out he couldn't.

He heard Hunter laugh at him that sounded like it was coming from everywhere "Fool, I created this smoke out of myself. The one before was smoke grenades I crafted, you won't be able to find me. I'll enjoy causing you pain as you look around hoping where I will atrack"

When he finished talking a spinning dagger came out, dante dodged to the side but the dagger cut his shoulder because his reaction time was off. His shoulder bled before healing itself thanks to his regenerating powers.

Waiting and looking, the dagger alone came out this time. Dante dodged it without getting hit but once it passed him and back inside the fog, Hunter came out with the dagger in hand and swung at dante. He lifted osiris up blocking the strike and pushing Hunter away as he ran back inside the fog. Hunter appeared again stabbing down at drake that leaped away but forced to jump over a thrown dagger that cut his leg.

Know annoyed and mad dante planned what he should do to stop this. Getting an idea dante waited for Hunter to throw his dagger at him. Waiting it finally came, dante with his instinct's heighten rolled pass the dagger and quickly pulled out ophion latching the claw onto the dagger. Smiling Dante streached the line and sent the dagger in a circle through the fog and hitting Hunter that yelled in pain.

With his focus distributed the fog started to clear. Outside they watched the fog clear and show dante looking fine and Hunter with his dagger stabbed into his side. He grabbed his dagger hissing in pain as he tried to pull it.

Dante yelled "Here I come, monkey!" He ran towards Hunter switching osiris to arbiter. Thinking fast Hunter pulled out his net catcher, aimed at dante and fired. The hook hit the ground and create a stone hand, Dante jumped through the stone fingers and used "Flush" sending a axe blade at hunter, hitting him right on the face. Hunter dropped down to a knee as the hit both hurt and tired him.

Nero took this chance and used "Tremor" an attack that sends a red cracking wave at the enemy. The tremor caused hunter to fall down as his legs were hit by the force. Know down dante summoned rebellion and used "Million stinger" stabbing hunters face repeatedly.

Dante stopped and switched rebellion for eryx. He grabbed hunters head with his left hand and lifted him up, he looked into hunters painful eyes "Better clench your teeth" he charged his right fist "Because this is going to hurt like hell!" He used "Uppercut" and punched Hunters chin as a loud crack came out, he lifted himself and Hunter into the air and sending the demon away as he landed back on the ground.

Hunter crashed on his back in a painful grunt. His chin bone was cracked by dante's punch, he tried getting up but his body was badly hurt and tried, he couldn't move and in thought knew he lost this fight completely even thinking this fight was one sided from the start. His face was littered in cuts and slashes, and his dagger still deep in his side as blood poured out of the wound.

Dante unsummoned eryx and brought back rebellion as he strolled over to hunter. Nero watched the whole fight with the others, he compared it with his fight and gauged that beowolf was much stronger than the Hunter demon. Beowolf was a brawler that fights up close with relentless strength, while Hunter used tricks and his gadgets to out smart and surprise attack his foes.

A huge difference between the two high-tier demons. Seeing Hunter crash to the ground and not get up meant he was tired or he couldn't.

Nero looked to the others, he said "Come on, dante's going to finish him off. I want to ask it a few question before he kills him" Nero started walking as the rest followed behind, the same with black beak and his griffons.

Rainbow flew next to Nero and gushed "Aw man you guys rock! Both you fought those demons like champs, you think you both could teach me your moves?"

Nero thought about it, he said "Hmm, you can ask Dante to do that. He'll most likely teach you some moves" rainbow squealed but calmed herself when she notice she wasn't alone and coughed in her fist as her friends looked at her funny like.

Celestia wondered what Nero wanted to know, and asked him "Nero, what are you going to ask him?"

He turned his head to look at her "I'm going to ask why he attacked griffonstone, and if he knows any other demons like him that are around equestria or further away" as they got to Dante, he was standing on hunters chest speaking to the downed demon.

"Guess this mean your hunting days are over. Sorry not sorry" he said grinning at the angered demon.

He heard them approaching and said "Yo Nero how was your fight?"

Nero looked interested, he said "It wasn't hard, but neither simple. Killed him like the badass I am"

Dante chuckled "Cool, I was going to end this guy right here"

Nero put his hand up to stop Dante "Wait. I got some questions that needs answering" dante moved his sword away and letting nero ask Hunter his questions.

Nero moved near his head, Hunter was able to turn his head to look at Nero "What do you want, pest" he said angrily.

Nero ignored the insult and said "Your going to answer some questions"

He growled at him "And why would I answer to you" Hunter may be beaten but wouldn't let his pride die with him.

Nero smirked "Your about to die. You lost and have no way out of this, might as well tell us what you know. I can tell this wasn't your idea" he chose his words carefully so that he could get Hunter to spill.

Hunter huffed "True, this whole thing was not mine or beowolf's. We attacked to spread demons over equestria, he wanted outpost for demons to settle and grow"

Everyone listen and was intrigued by his information, Luna ordered Hunter "Tell use who this person is demon!"

He tried laughing at her but only came out as coughs and spitting out blood "Like I would tell you that. And even if I did I couldn't tell you, he hid himself from use, never showing his face"

Luna glared at him, she was going to say something else but nero stopped her "He's not lying. He really doesn't know, and would tell us but he's trying to act tough" Hunter flinched, showing that Nero was right.

Nero continued to ask his questions "Ok, what about the other demons. Are they in equestria like you and beowolf?"

"Yes. But I don't know where, most likely scattered around equestria. Some even went further to cause their own caos" he breathed out.

Celestia said "How many on equestria?"

Hunter seemed to think "eight, no ten. I don't know the number but somewhere between those two. He freed many of us and task a few of them"

Nero nodded, they heard a loud bored sigh and seeing it was Dante. He was tappping his foot on hunters chest "Are you done? I would like to finish the asshole that killed innocent griffons"

Black beak and his soldiers agreed with Dante. Nero rolled his eyes "Alright. I got what I wanted, He's all your dante"

Nero moved back to the group. Dante looked down at Hunter "Thanks for the information monkey" he insulted.

Hunter chuckled "It doesn't matter. I'm already dead and soon you all will follow deaths road with me. The one that freed me with the rest has plans, plans that will change everything. Demons in the world will be remembered and feared over equestria. Your lives will be stacks with every other creature in equestria"

Pinkie randomly said "Wow that sounded scary" she was right, the girls and guards felt goosebumps from how cold and serious Hunter spoke.

Dante wasn't intimidated at all, he was actually interested by what Hunter said "Really... sounds like a blast to me. But it's time for you to die monkey, say high to all the demons I killed will you"

Hunter barred his teeth at dante "Don't get cocky worm! I'm nothing compared to the others. You'll die like the son of a bitch you are!!" The girls and spike gasp at the rude remark Hunter said to Dante. Celestia and Luna glared at Hunter, so did the guards that heard him.

Nero facepalmed at how stupid hunter is "What lame last words, demons are just redundant" Nero looked at dante, he could tell that he was mad.

Dante glared at hunter with a smile on his face "Huh... If your calling me the son of a whore you wouldn't the first!" Dante said as he sent rebellion at hunters head, striking into his head and killing the demon in one blow.

Dante pulled his sword out and jumped off Hunter as his body started to glow, his body glowing orange and turning into a ball of light. Both demonslayers looked at the light in surprise seeing as in the reboot game, Hunter doesn't become a weapon when beaten.

Dante's surprise turned to glee as he extended his arm. The ball went towards dante's hand, once again like nero when touched shined out blinding everyone.

Rarity said "My goodness this is starting to get old real quick" Nero couldn't blame her when the outcome creates a blinding like that forces you to close your eyes.

The light died down, and everyone heard Dante yell "Sweet!" Possible from the weapon he got. Opening their eyes they saw Dante holding a unfamiliar weapon the ponies and griffons never seen before, but nero knew what it was and found it interesting.

The weapon in question was a chain sickle. The chain and sickle was red like dante's eryx, and arbiter. was small enough for one hand. The weight at the end was a ball with spikes.

Nero wondered if Dante would only get demon weapons as they'll be fighting demons and not angles because, Dante could also get weapons from them or by something else that's pure.

Dante looked at his new weapon in fasination "This is badass! I got to try this thing" Dante started spinning the chain, everyone moved back as he played with his chain sickle. With dante's strength he was able to spin the chain fast enough to pick up wind, he switched placing spinning the chain left and right before sending the sickle. He swung the sickle really fast that it was hard to see it, nero could see it and saw dante control the sickle with the chain skillfully.

That is until he sent the sickle too far and slice the roof of a house in one swing. Dante pulled the sickle back, he looked over at black beak with a sheepish smile "Sorry about that"

Black beak didn't mind "Its fine, I can't get mad at one of the two that fought for my kingdom"

Spike pulled on nero's coat, nero looked down at spike wondering what he wanted. Spike said "So is it finally over" his tone hopeful.

Everyone heard him and waited for nero's answer. Nero smirked and said "Yup, we won spike. Griffonstone like canterlot is safe from the demons" when Nero said that the guards and soldiers cheered in happiness. The girls joined in, all of them hugging each other as they took this victory to the heart.

Black beak thanked celestia and Luna, the same for his wife that thanked them also. Nero felt good, him and Dante once again saved lives they knew nothing about, creatures said to be fake but here he was. Saving their lives and helping them.

He heard Dante walking over to him, dante unsummoned his new weapon. Dante reached Nero, he said "So, stylish victory?" He asked with his cocky grin.

Nero grinned with dante and extend his arm, his hand into a fist "Stylish victory" he said, his voice cool as ice. Dante fistbumped nero as the two reacted to their victory in their own way. When they pulled back the two were surprised hugged by the girls, and spike.

Applejack, and fluttershy hugged nero. As Twilight, pinkie, and rainbow dash hugged dante, and spike in between. The two let them hug them, not wanting to ruin this sweet moment.

They pulled away and talked about what happened, rainbow spoke first "Aw yeah! We kicked those demons flanks real good. You guys were awesome when fighting those two giants"

Applejack said "Dang right. You both really showed your stuff again today, how's it feel being heros?" She asked them.

Dante said "Pretty good to be honest. Never thought I would be called a hero of all things"

Nero smirked "True, you a hero is a understatement" dante glared at him as the girls laughed. Dante chuckled with them.

"Yeah, you might be right. I'm more of the lines of a anti-hero or vigilante"

Twilight looked at dante questionably "But wouldn't that make you a criminal?"

"Even better!" he shouted. Twilight didn't understand why Dante thought that was good, she believe it was a boy thing.

Pinkie waved her hand "That's sounds fun, can I be your sidekick" she asked Dante giving him her puppy eyes.

Dante said "Heck yeah, every anti-hero needs a sidekick" pinkie cheered.

Nero thought "I've never seen a vigalinte need a side kick, well except for Batman but he's called a hero know"

Fluttershy looked over Nero, that he notice "A-are you really alright? N-no injures?"

Nero shook his head "Nope, I'm fine fluttershy. I'm a lot tougher than you think" he looked away in embarrassment "Can you move away a little, your..."

Fluttershy looked confused until she notice she was touching him, and her chest pressing his body. She eeped away from Nero, and looked away blushing. Nero found her blushing cute, That's he was almost tackled to the ground by Luna that hugged him from behind.

He could feel her Breast on his back as she hugged him "What strength, what power, and skill. Sir Nero you truly are a great warrior to face such strong demons"

Nero's been hugged by women back on earth that felt nice, he's one to not let his mind go wild like other men. He would be lie that he didn't like the warmth he felt from both Luna and fluttershy.

Nero turned his head to look at her "I'm happy you enjoyed my fight, I didn't know princesses can be so spirited" he smirked at her. Luna understood what he meant and moved herself away from him.

She seemed to calm herself, and act normal "Well of course. Princesses must be both defined and open to others"

Dante whispered to rainbow "Opened for Nero that is~" they both chuckled but Luna heard him, she used her magic to trip Dante as he on his butt "Ah! My buns!'

What he said made the girls, Luna, and spike laugh. Starlight even joined with them. She started to think that Nero and Dante weren't evil as she thought.

Celestia was happy that everything was over, and enjoyed the laughing and jokes from Dante and nero. She clapped her hands to get their attention.

"All right everyone, we must head back to the griffon castle to inform black beaks subjects that everything is fine and over" the group walked back to them.

Black beak and his family, and guards were ready "We are ready celestia, I must give my people the good news"

Celestia agreed "Then let use go. Luna, twilight" the two nodded and together each princess used their magic and teleported them back to the castle. They appeared inside were all the citizens and other griffon soldiers were at.

Their sudden appearance startled them, but seeing it was their king with the pony princesses they calmed down. The soldiers came up yo their king and took granite to be looked over by black beaks orders. He soon told them the good news and every griffon cheered that the demons were defeated.

As black beak and his family checked on his people. The group stayed by until he was done, Nero looked around trying to find someone amiss the crowd.

"Dammit! Did they really die? Those two had to somehow live" Nero hoped he was right because he couldn't find them, that is until a little girls voice called to him.

"Mister Swordmen!" He wasn't the only one to hear it. Turning his head there he saw the griffon child he saved, she was bandaged mist Likely hurt by a demon or something else. She ran into Nero and hugged his leg, nero never felt so happy right know.

His face may hold a glad smile, but inside he was overjoyed that she wasn't killed "Its goid to see your alright kid"

She looked up at him, he could see tiny tears around her eyes "I was so.... scared. If not for miss g-gilda I would have..." He patted her head to help make her feel better, it worked and she held him tighter.

Rainbow looked bug eyed at the griffon child "Gilda?" Another voice where the little girl came from grabbed their attention.

"Some one called?" Gilda showed herself, she looked worser than Nero last saw her. She had a crutch to help keep her balance. Once rainbow saw her she flew over and hugged Gilda.

"G! It's been so long!" Rainbow said as she hugged her griffon friend. Gilda made a painful look but kept it in.

"Y-yeah... missed you to r-rainbow. C-can you let go, injured and all that stuff" rainbow let go and said sorry, Gilda told her it was ok. Nero with the griffon girl walked over to Gilda as the rest followed suit.

Nero was glad that Gilda was also safe, he said "Nice seeing you again Gilda. What happened to you after me and my squad left?"

Gilda said "Its good yo see your alright nero, way better than me. After you left I did as you said and brought our people back to the castle, but we got attack by a huge dog looking demon. It wiped out my men and almost the citizens if we haven't distracted the bastard, I got lucky when I got sent into a building hiding myself from him"

She looked down in aggravation, and sadness "Can't say the same for the soldiers under my command" Nero wanted to help lift her spirits, he placed his hand or her shoulder and looked at her seriously.

"Life can be cruel and beautiful. Anything can happen in the mist of battle Gilda, you were lucky as you said and your men... died" she frown feeling it was her fault but nero helped changed that "That doesn't mean they died in vain, they did their best and help protect many lives when demons attacked. I know what your thinking, and trust me it's not your fault. Don't think about how they died but what they did to insure others get to live in the end. You did good Gilda, the same for your troops for protecting your home" the girls all soon had tears in their eyes from nero's kind trusting words, Gilda sniffled and hugged nero's chest.

He could feel his shirt get wet but didn't mind, Gilda said "T-thank you nero, your one heck of a guy" she hiccuped.

Nero chuckled and petted her head "Thanks, I like to think I am" this got everyone yo laugh, letting the sad moment turn into laughter.

When they stopped Gilda moved away from him, she had a blush on her face realizing she let emotion go overboard. Rainbow looked at Gilda and nero, she smirked "So...." she said "How'd you meet nero gilda?" She asked.

Gilda slightly thanked rainbow for bring up something to distract her "Well me and my troops... got attacked by a bunch of demons. Nero came with the guards right on time and help us fight them off, after that we came upon a large group of demons attacking both soldiers and innocent griffons"

The little griffon girl cut in "Mister nero fought and saved everyone! He moved so fast no one saw him until the demons dissapered in dust, it was incredible!" She said in excitement that made them chuckle.

Gilda sighed and said "I heard from the king we won" she looked at Nero "Does that mean?" She was implying something, Nero instantly understood.

He nodded and smiled "The demon that attacked you is named beowolf, and yes he lost to yours truly. Taught that demon the meaning of defeat" Nero said proudly.

Gilda giggled and smiled, she was happy that the one who killed her men was beaten and by Nero. Dante chuckled and said "Yeah you should have seen him. When the mutt said that he killed a bunch of griffon guards near the castle, Nero looked about slicing the guys head off" Nero flinched that Dante told her that.

Gilda put the pieces together and thinked that nero got mad and worried about her, her blush came back more red than before. Gilda said shyly that surprised rainbow that her friend could be shy "I-i that true..." she asked him.

Nero said honestly "Yeah... I didn't want to believe someone I got along with and a child I saved was killed. I don't take deaths kindly" Gilda looked into his eyes and trusted nero's words, she looked away with her claws behind her back.

"That's.... sweet of you" she said. The air got romantically awkward, fluttershy and applejack didn't show it but were jealous in a way. Another voice joined them, black beak with talon shot walked over to them.

"Ah, I see you all have met captain gilda" the girls looked surprise, rainbow looked the most surprised out of all of them

"Captain?!" She yelled out. Griffon civilians looked at rainbow as if she was crazy. Black beak nodded "That's right, Gilda here is a captain just like talon, and granite. A fine soldiers she is" he looked sadder at Gilda "I'm sorry about your men Gilda, just know they did their best in fighting for griffonstone"

Gilda saluted "Its ok my king, so one already help ease with forgiving myself" she looked at nero in a passionate way. Black beak saw this and was impressed by nero's abilities of outside of combat.

Black beak said "A way with words it seems, both skilled on tactics and in combat. Have you been a soldier or recruited into a army?" Nero didn't think someone would ask that.

Nero shook his head "I just think before facing an enemy. It's always safe to form a plan before fighting, I would wish Dante would do the same but he's more special than me" he smiled at the end, black beak caress his beak in astonishment.

Dante heard him and glared him "Hey! The hell you calling special you ass" air puffed out of his head to show how mad he was. Nero ignored him as rainbow and twilight kept dante back.

Black beak was liking the two demonslayers. Both strong warrior but not uptight or serious all the time. Black beak said "Right know i've got the maids nd butler's to form bed area's for the citizens. Come, let use go to the dinning room and eat. There I can ask you both some questions I wish to know about you both"

Black beak lead the group to celestia and luna. They followed him through his castle and going through a door were the dining room is. They each sat down, Nero sat next between applejack and Luna, Dante sat between celestia and twilight. The others sat together, black beak sat next to his wife, and cheeriest wing next to her mother as she stared lovingly at dante.

Dante's stomach grumbled loudly making everyone stare at him "What? We haven't had anything to eat for hours since the morning. So black beak, what's for dinner?"

Black beak snapped his claw and a griffon wearing a white chief outfit came to him "Bring the princesses and her ponies the vegetable order, and..." he looked questionably at Nero and Dante "Tell me, what do you both eat?"

Nero said "Both me and Dante can eat veges and meat, making use both omnivores. Dante could probably eat whatever food you have"

Dante said "He's right, as long it's not poisoned" he thought "Even tho it wouldn't kill me"

Black beak looked surprised the same for white feather, and cheeriest wing "Omnivore?! Interesting, being able to eat both meat and greens is something not many in equestria can do" he turned to the chief "Hive them a combo of both meat and vegetables" he nodded and left to work on their food.

Black beak took this time to ask his questions "While their working on our food, I can start asking my question if your both ok with it" he told them.

Nero and Dante looked at each other, not thinking a king would ask permission. Dante said "Sure, ask use what you want to know"

Black beak smiled, and asked "My first question is if this attack by the demons was hard for you both?" The girls, spike and princesses thought the same. Learning that the two demonslayers have fought demons before, they never thought it would be difficult for the two.

Dante rested his elbow on the table as his hand was on his cheek, he thinked for a second and said "No... not really" he looked over at Nero "What do you think nero?"

"Same, this whole farse wasn't like anything we had to face but not even scratching the surface" he said. They looked shockingly at the two.

White feather didn't believe them "What do you mean scratching the surface? Your saying an army of demons attacking a kingdom isn't much!?" She wanted to know if they thought that.

Nero leaned by in his seat "Yes, me and Dante have fought demons at a young age. Back then it was hard and many lives were killed by demons we didn't know about or heard of"

Dante spoke next "Soon after we had enough to make our own work place, we soon learned the many mindblowing attacks unheard of or how it was happening. We got toppled by all of the calls of unnatural causes and deaths when we opened up, and that's when things got harder over the days"

Applejack was interested by this, the same with everyone else "Wait, you both had your own business shop?" The two nodded.

Dante rubbed his nose, looking proud "Yup, it was called 'Devil Never Cry' we got hired to investigate and solve problems that normal people couldn't. When in reality we go and find the demons causing the problems and take them out quick" Dante made his hand look like a gun and fire to prove his point.

Black beak nodded understanding what their saying. White feather looked doubtful, and cheeriest wing believed everything Dante said.

Rainbow looked confused by the name they called their shop "Why call it 'Devil Never Cry' is it suppose to mean something?" Nero answered for her.

"We named it that way because no matter how many demons we killed, not a single one shed a tear when their lives were taken by us. The same could be said to me and Dante that couldn't save those that got attacked by the demons we were hired to kill, because devils never cry..." Nero said like a badass. Everyone looked at him in awe at his answer and speech.

Rainbow said "Woah...." making Dante smile.

"Awesome right? I'm the one who came up with the name" Dante said cocky like. Rainbow praised him, agreeing with the name as he thought the same.

Black beak said "Are your species warriors like you, or..." he questioned.

Nero shook his head "Not quite. There are many kinds of warrior so to speak, but nothing like me or dante" Dante gave black beak his cocky grin.

"You could say were one of a kind" black beak chuckled, after watching them fight the two demon leaders he had to agree. Cheeriest wing blushed when seeing Dante grin, she found it hot that made her think possible things.

White feather looked at dante in mistrust "What do you mean by that? Are you saying you two have something the rest of your kind don't"

Dante looked over at Nero, he doing the same. They didn't know if it would be wise to tell the griffon royals that their part demon. Celestia and Luna didn't want to hide anything from their neighboring ally, coughing into her fist celestia got everyone's attention.

She spoke kindly and seriously "What they mean is that both Nero and Dante are different because of a trait they both have" she looked at black beak "I wish for you my friend to listen and think once I tell you this"

Black beak understood and nodded. Celestia said "We spoke to them, asking question on who and what they are before coming here. They told use something that shocked everypony, and that's because Nero and Dante are demons"

Black beak and cheeriest wing startled back, as white feather yelled "What!" That scared fluttershy, spike, rarity, and starlight from how loud she was.

Black beak looked over at dante and nero "Is this true?" He wanted to hear it from them.

Nero said "Yes it's true. Both me and Dante are part demon" Nero wondered if this was wise.

Cheeriest raised an eyebrow at what Nero said "Part demon, so you both aren't full demons?"

Dante explained it to them "Yup, me and nero are part demon. Nero being human and demon, and me being part demon and angel" cheeriest wing gasped at what Dante said about himself.

Black beak and white feather shocked from his claim, black beak said "A a-angel, but those are only in legend!"

"Seems your legend is true if I'm here. Look just trust use, me and nero don't really think it was smart to tell you both" he looked over at celestia "But seeing as Sunbutt spilled the beans we got no choice" celestia was both gulty and embarrassed for being called Sunbutt.

Black beak coughed in his claw "Well today is fill of surprises. My kingdom was attacked, you two called demonslayers coming and helping, and know we learn your both part demon.... truly a day it has been"

The doors open as waiters came in and set down everyone's choice of food in front of them. The ponies had their greens, and the griffon royals made plates of meat. As for Dante and nero they both had vegetable salads and cook meat given to them.

Dante smelled both clean vegetables and the sizzling meat as his mouth watered. He dug in, eating his food like a savage that made rarity, and white feather to look in disgust. Nero ate like a civil person, he took one look at dante and sighed.

"Dante" he stopped eating and looked over at Nero "Have some manners, were eating with both a king and queen with their daughter"

Dante swallowed his food and sheepishly chuckled, he turned to the royals "Sorry about that, I tend to go wild when hungry"

Black beak chuckled out "You both are really interesting, I'll note next time to make sure your stomach is filled up. I don't want my guest going crazy for food" his joke got everyone to laugh except his wife that continued to eat.

Nero asked, just making sure "So your not mad, or even worried about use being part demon?"

Black beak said "I'll be honest, finding this out has very much shocked me. But you both risked your lives to fight the demon army, and for that I am grateful. I know by speaking to you both and the way you two act that you both are nothing like those filthy monsters" Nero was glad black beak didn't resent them for being demons.

After that they all ate and spoke to each other. Nero talked to black beak about his kingdom, and spoke to Luna, and twilight that sat next to him. Dante talked with the rest, and messed around with rainbow and pinkie.

Everyone finished their plates of food and left the dinning room. Cheeriest wing stood close to Dante, talking to him and flirting. Nero watched him talk to the griffon princess, not knowing he was getting hit on "Sometimes his idiocy has no bounds" Nero whispered, turning his head towards rainbow dash, pinkie pie, and twilight that glared daggers at her "Hope he doesn't do anything that will screw him over"

Black beak tasked one of the butler's to escort them to their rooms. Dante and nero were given a room with two beds. Celestia and Luna in one room like theirs, and the girls all together. They all said goodnight to each other before heading off to bed.

The kingdom of griffonstone was saved and safe from the demons. But this wasn't over, far off in the distance in equestria, someone was plotting. Buying time and increasing his army to attack everything that gets in his way.

The world of terra will face an enemy never faced before, he will change everything with his power and mind. The time for peace will come to a end, and demons will roam equestria spreading fear to the hearts of all creatures.
