Talion in Equestria

3 hours later Hecale POV

“Has he woken up yet?” I asked a nearby nurse.

“Not yet but he has shown signs of waking up soon so he should be alright for now.” She said I was relieved he would wake up soon but I was still worried about him.

“Can I see him?” I asked.

“Yes, his magic has stabilized so it is safe to enter his room now.” She said as she pointed to his room.

I walked into the room and saw him sleeping I sat down on a chair next to the bed to wait for him to wake up.

A few minutes later Talion POV

My body felt heavy for some reason but I managed to open my eyes to see I was in a hospital.” What happened?” I said not noticing anyone else was in the room.

“You absorbed too many souls at once and got too powerful for your body to handle.” I heard. I turned my head to see Hecale sitting in a chair with a smile on her face.

“I guess I should be more careful from now on,” I said as I laid my head back down on the pillow but I did not have time to relax there's a war going on I got up out of bed and stood up I reach for the doorknob.

“I don’t think that is a good idea,” Hecale said as I grabbed the door handle and attempted to turn it only for it to immediately break off the door. “Now you've done it.” She said as she sighed.

We managed to get the door open after that and left the room we informed the doctors I was alright and we went back to the tower but when we were walking Hecale told me what the doctor said about the souls of the demons it was surprising they were only fragments.

“So there's only one soul left I the orb?” I asked she nodded. “Well, I don't think it will be a problem it if is only one it took thousands for me that to happens so it should not be much trouble,” I said as I walked inside.

Hecale went to go see her mother I went back to the Palantir room where the orb still was, the undead was still holding the palantir and the soul orb was back on the pedestal.

“Well let’s get this over with,” I said as I reached for the orb but something was different about the soul inside it was much more powerful than any other soul I have seen so I was hesitant to absorb it.

‘Why is this soul or fragment different’ I thought as I observed it was a much larger fragment than the others.”Could it be the demons lords soul.” I said to myself as I placed my hand on the orb the soul was absorbed I felt a little different and I could feel my power increase. “Well, that felt a little strange,” I said as I face the door and took a step then found myself on the other side and crashed into a solid stone wall creating a crater in it. “What just happened,” I said as I healed my broken nose I turned towards the door to see it had a human-shaped hole in it.

“What happened” I heard and I saw the captain of my royal guard looking at me.

“I don’t know but get me someone to carry me up the stairs it seems I can not control my speed and get Lotus two I have some questions for her,” I said he walked away and came back with an undead he carried me up the stairs and set me in a chair in the living room Lotus came in not long after.

“You needed me,” she asked.

“Yes it seems when I absorbed the demon lords soul I got his speed and now I can’t control it,” I said she gave me a worried look.

“I thought this might happen after I heard about what the doctor said but to explain what is happening to you I have to tell you the history of the demons.” She said as I got comfortable. “When we were first born there were three that rose to power very quickly they were the first demon lords there was Lucifer, Sarsha, and lastly the one you killed was Abaddon each of them had a unique power Lucifer with his immeasurable strength Mania with her incredibly powerful magic and Abaddon with his speed but through time the demon lords came to be but they were not unique like them.” She explained.

“So they must be larger fragments than the others and inherited some of her power,” I said quietly to myself. “So how will I control my speed,” I said she shook her head.

“I don’t know maybe you can somehow control or seal it.” She said and I had two ideas.

‘Ok I can try.” First I will try to focus my magic into my brain and eyes so I can hopefully increase my the speed they can perceive the area around me I could feel everything slow down around me I got up I could move freely I did a few test movements like jumping in the air but I almost crashed through it I moved around the room for a bit so I could think of a way to seal my speed or at least stop myself from using it all the time Lotus has not even moved a finger since I have been doing this I was seeking my magic for the demon lord's power it was like finding a needle in a haystack and with my magic so large it was more like the haystack was as vast as the ocean but with me in this state it will not take much time for them it least for it it will take awhile.

Much much later for him

‘FINALLY’ I thought as I finally found it I looked at lotus she was starting to stand up with her arm on the couch as she inched her way up I sealed the demon lords power for now so now I stopped focusing magic in my eyes and brain and everything started speeding back up.

“Where did you go?” Lotus asked as she looked around searching for me until she saw me.

“I increased my perception by focusing my magic in my eyes and brains to speed them up so I could control my speed I put a seal on it but it can partly be unsealed so I can increase my speed whenever I want,” I said she kept looking at me for a moment but nodded. She left the room soon after she said there were three original demon lords the rest are merely normal demons that have moved up the ranks.

“Well, at least I learned something about the demons today so that should be helpful for upcoming battles,” I said to myself.

It was time to prepare for the next battle but before that Hecale and Celestia walked in.” Hey talion we need to talk.”Hecale said.

“Ok, what about,” I asked.

“We were wondering if we should speed up the process of our children's birth,” Celestia said and the room went quiet.

“Why do you want to I thought you might want to take your time and learn as much as you can before giving birth,” I said they gave me mixed looks of confusion and apologetic.

“We did think of that at first but Celestia said had everything planned and ready for them,” Hecale said and I looked to Celestia who had a smile on her face.

“I have lived for thousands of years I know how to plan for things like this.” She said with a big smile.

“It is your choice to do this or not I won't stop you,” I said and they smiled and walked out of the room. “I hope they don't regret this,” I said as the door shut behind them.

Now that they were gone I had time to get some work done so I went to my office and got to work it was boring more complaints and requests was there less work now that I got some nobles to help with the work but thier was still much to do.

A guard walked in and handed me a few papers it seems the trainees were finally ready to officially join the guard I should probably plan a ceremony to welcome them it would help boost their morale and help them get used to their new jobs inside the guard.

“Good have the trainees join the guards as soon as they can we need as many people watching outside the walls as we can at the moment if the demons decide to attack Minas Morgul we have to be ready to fight,” I said and he left to carry out my orders I finished the rest of the paperwork and walked back to the living room to find Twilight, Celestia and Hecale getting ready to cast the spell.

“So you girls are really going through with this?” I asked them and they nodded and Celestia cast a shield at the corner of the room away from them and Twilight cast the same spell she tried to use to repair a vase that pinkie broke. It bounced off the shield and hit Hecale and Celestia there was a bright flash of light but it soon ended and faded reviling Hecale and Celestia ready to give birth at any time.”Are we sure this is healthy for you and the babies?” I asked.

“Yes I check it after Luna had he filly it is completely safe for them and us,” Celestia said she looked at me with a smile then started breathing heavily.” But the added weight almost threw me off balance for a second there,” She said.

“Well, I think we should head for the hospital before it is too late,” I told them and they hurried off to the hospital and I followed not as hurried as them but I went at a fast pace so I could be there when they gave birth I reached the hospital and the nurses were already working overtime getting everything ready for Celestia and Hecale.

‘Which room are they in?” I asked one of them and she pointed to a room and I walked inside. They were already on beds getting ready to give birth it was still unknown what gender they were but we were about to find out they had just gone into labor and the contractions started soon after the doctor noted how long between each one.

“Are things going well?” I asked the doctor he is a pony with brown fur blond mane and green eyes he held a few pieces of paper with some notes on them and he wore the average doctor attire.

“Yes they are doing well but I must ask how did this happen again.” He said as he stared at me with a bored expression on his face.

“They did not want to wait and Celestia said she had everything planned for the children I didn’t really have any right to stop them from doing what they want,” I told him as he sighed and went back to work.

It has been a while since they entered the hospital and I was in the waiting room I knew everything was going to be fine. I asked them to tell me when they were about to be born so I could be there for them.

A nurse ran up to me and informed me it was happening and ran into the room and Celestia and Hecale were screaming I stood in between them and held their hands so they could relax a bit since I’m here. After several minutes they were finally born Celestia child was a filly with white fur like her mother and a pink mane she opened her eyes were blue she yawned and went to sleep and Celestia soon went to sleep as well Hecale gave birth to our new child as well it was a girl she had black skin like her’s and two small wings were on her back. She was snoring so we put her a nearby crib that was placed in here so she could sleep Hecale and Celestia were taken out of the room to be checked for any problem that may have happened during this.

I brought them to the tower and put them in their room I could hear a teleportation spell not far from me I could tell it was Celestia’s spell and Hecale and Celestia walked in they looked a little tired but ok for the moment.

“So have you thought of names you thought of a few good ones when the others were born?” Hecale asked me and I had a few ideas.

“I was thinking Sarah for mine and Celestia filly and Alice for mine and Hecale’s baby girl.” I said and Celestia looked disappointed a bit.

“I thought it would be a colt.” She said but she looked at her filly and smile.”But I am not disappointed,” She said as she looked at Sarah and she giggled.

“Well we have work to do I will post some more guards in the room the news of you giving birth will spread like wildfire and I sure many of the nobles will not be happy.” I said and she frowned and nodded.

“Yes there are many how are trying to use old laws that hold little value to try to get me away from you I have been trying to remove those laws but they are difficult to remove.” She said.

“And what are those laws?” I asked.

“Like only someone only noble birth and marry royalty.” She said with disgust in her voice.

“Well their planes plans won’t work that is for sure,” I said and she smiled again and nodded. “It would be best for her to stay here if she is brought to canterlot the nobles that oppose out relationship will try to take her and use her for their own purposes,” I said and she agreed and put her back in her crib.

“Yes I agree here is the safest place for her for now.” She said.

“So where do you think the demons will attack next?” Hecale asked.

“It is either Noa’s or Phaenna attacking here would be foolish since it is so close to canterlot and I have a massive army at the ready so they are the only two they can attack I have my troops ready for when they make their move and I have made more deathlords so we will be ready to fight when and where ever they attack,” I said to reassure them.

“Well that is good the demons will not rest until they win and with the barrier between Tartarus and our world continues to weaken we will need every warrior we can get I have heard some kingdoms are hiring as many mercenaries they can find to fight for them,” Celestia said and I was surprised but it was understandable their kingdoms were at risk.

“Well I can't really blame them even if mercenaries only care about the money they will be an asset to the war if needed,” I told them and they agreed but Celestia was not going to hire them.

After they recovered a bit from that they went to sleep Luna said she would cover for her today so she could sleep and recover. After Celestia and Hecale went to sleep I went back to making more undead and at the end of the day I had made 3 death lords 30 mist men 25 bone men and 50 wraith men.

Next day

I was already up before Celestia rose the sun and I was working on creating more undead and thinking where they would attack next I think Noa is next but I am not sure yet so I could only plan for it I had no idea where he kingdom is located but I had to be ready for anything.

Circe POV

“We are ready to attack Noa’s kingdom.” A general said as he kneeled.”And the new weapons are ready to be used.” He added.

“Good proceed with the assault.” I said

Talion POV

“Well, there is today's quota,” I said as I finished making the last of my undead for now I might make more but I have made enough to last for now also it have been easier making death lords now so I guess a I am growing strong while I have been creating undead so that is good it gives us a better chance if Circe escapes.

“Sir we have received reports on demons activity we believe they are planning an attack but we don't know where yet.” a guard said as he handed me the papers it explains where they were sighted and what they looked like it was strange it seemed many of seemed had to fish like appearances then I realized.” Oh no I can't believe I forgot.” I said to myself I thought since everything was so different in this world than the shows and movies that her kingdom might be somewhere else and since it is underwater m undead will not be able to fight effectively.

”Guards.” I yelled and they came in.”Open the portal to Novo’s kingdom I need to warn her that an army is heading her way.” I said and they ran out and I had an idea but it won't save her city but it would help evaluate the city if needed. I started creating as many mistmen as I could with the little time I had.

After n hour the guards returned.” Sir the portal has been stabilized but there was a problem.” He said.

“What was it?” I asked.

“Whenever we opened it seawater pouted out preventing anything from passing through but the liches have put a shield that will keep it in while you go through with the undead you will take with you.” He said as he lead me to the portal that led to Noa’s kingdom.

A large dorm was formed around the portal trapping the sea water inside all the mistmen at my disposal were here ready to pass through the portal.

We went through the barrier and so did the mistmen and my plan was already bearing fruit as the mistmen were freely able to move around in the water with no difficulty but I only had a few hundred of them.

We went through the portal to find there was already some guard waiting for us I did not need to breathe since I don't really need to since I am undead but I could not talk to them.

“Why are you here?” One of the guards asked I was surprised he could talk under water but he quickly realized that I could not talk to them so one of them left for a minute and came back with some kind of weed.

“Eat this it will temporarily give you the abilities to breathe underwater and talk.” He said and I ate it and suddenly I could breath.

“I need to see Noa now there is a army coming here right now.” I said and they started panicking a bit and they took me to Noa I got a good look at their city and since it is underwater it does not have walls so they will be able to attack with little difficulty it was different than the movie it was in the open sea on the seafloor open from all direction.

We got to the throne room and my arms were getting tired from the constant swimming but we finally got to Noa.” What is going on?” She asked

“There is not much time an army is heading your way and I can't provide much help all I can send a mist men they are the only one that can move freely in the water we have to evacuate the city” I said but before I could continue I was cut off by a nearby explosion. We swam to a window and saw there was a passive portal not far from the city and the fishlike demons were pouring out of it and their was another demon she had large wings and red skin she had horns on her head as well and she was surrounded by a large bubble.’She must be Sarsha’ I thought as she fired as spell and the demons were all wielding tridents that were firing beams of magic from the tips and when they hit a guard he evaporated the mistmen were quick to react the fired ice spikes at the demons they traveled like harpoons and skewered the demons they hit there was panic everywhere and I went to confront the demons lord I used my new speed to kick off the castle and launched myself towards her she did not see me coming as I hit her bubble popping it caught her off guard and making her drown a bit before she made another bubble around her head.

“So you must be Talion nice to meet you I think you know who I am so not that the formalities are out of the way,” She said and she fired a beam of magic from her hand towards me I swam out of the way and kicked off some coral and tackled her before we hit the seafloor I adjusted myself a bit and kicked her off me making a crater when she hit the bottom and she kept going as she went through several large pieces of coral she got up and she had cut on her body from the coral she quickly healed and launched a spell at me. ‘She is weak to physical attack taking her on magically might be a bad idea but n I know her weakness it might give me a chance to take her out.

“You’ll pay for that.” she yelled through her bubble and created a massive orb of magic and launched it at the city. I teleported in front of it and created a shield the shield began to crack under the pressure of the powerful orb but it held out long enough for it to dissipate I looked at the demon with anger and she grinded

“All right time for round two,” I said
