Demonking

I walked down the side of Canterlot with a book of combat skills of the griffon empire soldiers. They had a very similar style to my world which I had planned to learn so I could better protect myself and Gilda who never left the house knowing Blueblood couldn't touch her there, I also looked around to try and find where he lived, but nothing had come up. Almost all the mares in this city saw stallions or any males as slaves. I saw many of the mares leaning stallions and colts around with leashes, a few also had a stick and anytime they step out of line that would strike them with it or punch them across the face. Each time I've seen it, I felt the same rage I felt when I freed Gilda from her cage.

"Hey, Sir Meliodas!"

I looked up front my book when I head Nightmares voice. A carriage was coming down the road, and I saw Celestia's and Luna's energies in the carriage. I was going to make it a point to avoid them soon, but now I would be forced to deal with them. The carriage stopped, and Nightmare jumped out and ran up to me. She was dressed in an elegant white summer dress with a blue rose attached to lace on her side that was tied in a bow right under the rose. She had her hoofs in a shoe of a kind. Lace was wrapped around her forelegs, and they were tied into a bow at the top of the back of her foreleg. She had her mane in brads ponytail with a silver crown on her head. She tackled into my chest and hugged me as tightly as she could. She looked up at me with her cheeks puffed out as she gave me the pouting face.

"Why haven't you come to see me when you moved to the city?"

I blew her a raspberry, and she smiled as she looked up at me. "Can I please have my chest back?"

"No!"

She laughed, and I closed my book when I saw Luna get out of the carriage. She was in a silver v-neck dress, and a split showed the top of her left thigh with her mane matching Nightmares. Luna also had a pair of high hills on with her sword on her side. She avoided eye contact with me, and I did the same. "Uh, sorry about what happened Luna." I rubbed the back of my head as she turned her head to look at me.

"No, I... overreacted to what happened and I know it was a mistake on my part. You weren't trying to do anything, so I'm the one who needs to say sorry, Sir Meliodas."

We started to draw a crowd as we talked to one another and I rubbed Nightmares head as she hugged me. "Well you could say it's both our faults but you grabbed me and slamming me against the wall was uncalled for." I smiled as she laughed into her hand as she looked at me.

"Ya, and nearly choking me out cold and almost made me black out."

I laughed, and Nightmare looked between us.

"You two got into a fight!?"

Luna and I looked at her then both of us laughed louder as Luna walked over to her and patted her shoulder a few times.

"It was more like mommy tried to hurt Sir Meliodas. He just protected himself from me, and as much as I hate to say it, he managed to overpower for a moment when he surprised me."

I raised an eyebrow at her thinking I couldn't overpower if I wanted too. I smirked as I looked at her and she noticed it. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at me.

"Meliodas no."

"Meliodas yes."

I took a step back, and Nightmares arms went through my body shocking everyone. Once free I dropped my book then weaved hand signs which put Luna on the defensive, and she grabbed Nightmare then put her behind her. I laughed as I looked at her and grabbed my wrist as lighting erupted from a ball of lighting in my left hand.

"Sir Meliodas up can make lighting from you hand cool!"

I looked at Luna who looked worried as I started to walk over to her then I saw Celestia’s Helbert come through the carriage wall. I smiled as I grabbed the spear tip of the Helbert stopping the attack, and I rooted myself to the ground with my chakra. The force from her attack was stopped on my end, but the carriage was pushed back from her straining to hit me. “Listen sunbutt I’m going to give you three seconds to get out and talk, or I’ll take you out of there.”

“We both know your lying.”

She was speaking calmly, and I sighed. “Fine, we do it this way then.” I shoot my lighting through the Helbert, and the inside of the carriage turned white as I was about to swing the weapon as hard as I could then stopped when a pair of hands grabbed me around my chest.

"Sir Meliodas stop!"

I turned my head and saw Nightmare holding onto me. "Nightmare get off me." She nodded her head, and I started to cancel the Jutsu. A few seconds later my lighting faded, and I sighed then put a hand on the top of her head as she looked up at me. "Ok, but if she attacks me again, I will have to protect myself ok?"

"Ok, but only if she attacks you first."

I nodded as the carriage door was kicked off the carriage and a very angry Celestia stepped out. Nightmare as on my side and I pushed her behind me when Celestia raised her Helbert.

"DIE!"

"Sister stop!"

Luna and I both jumped at her, but all she did was swing the ax head at me. I covered my left arm in darkness to use it as a makeshift shield. She struck the ax blade down on my arm. My feet sunk into the ground but the edge didn't perse my darkness, but I could feel the force from the attack. If I hadn't used my darkness, she could have cut my arm clean off, but I didn't want to see if I could reattach any part or my body or the no death curse. I threw my arm up, and Celestia stumbled back a few feet. A few sparks flew the blade as it scratched over my arm as the edge moved over my arm. "Back off!" I straightened my fingers then my darkness formed a sword on my arm shocking Celestia and Luna both.

"Meliodas, sister stop!"

Luna got into the middle of us as Luna was about to attack again. A crowd had gathered, and a few didn't seem sure who was doing what right. On the one hand, I had a scared filly behind me who was shaking violently as buried her face into my back. Luna put her hands up, and Celestia seemed to back down as her adrenaline started to run out.

"Sir Meliodas, we were coming to ask you to come to the castle with us. Some of the nobles wish to know where you came from and why you seem to think your mares equal. You and we both know that why and who you are, but you have to understand they were raised to think like this. But, fighting like this will not help anything or anypony. If the two of you got into a no holds barred fight you could destroy the city. So, please just come with us and let's go and handle this like grown ponies."

I looked at her then looked at Celestia and the gathered crowd around us. I knew fighting like this would only make me look like the enemy, and that was something I didn't want. I let my darkness faded and stood all the way back up but still keep Nightmare behind me. As much as I hate the thought, I did in a way help give her life, so I am responsible for her safety in a way she is like my second child. Luna looked at me as I held Nightmare behind and I think she understood I was using my body as a shield if the way she was looking at me meant anything. "Luna, I will talk to you and the nobles, if I have to deal with this whores for another moment then I will punch her off this mountain and you and I both know I can do it too." Luna flinched at the anger in my voice and Celestia flinched a little, and the nobles seemed to noticed the finches as their body language became very nervous seeing their seemingly invincible leaders sacred for even a second.

"Ok, we can do that, a little time apart will do good for the both of you let your tempers cool down."

I nodded, and Celestia turned her back to me and opened her wings.

"I'll see you soon Luna, Nightmare, Demon."

I made one more comment before she could fly off. "A demon isn't the half of it Celestia." She huffed then flapped her wings a few times before taking off towards the castle. Nightmare moved from my back and grabbed my hand and started to pull me down the street.

"Come on, if we get back before three then we can just make tea time right mommy?"

Luna walked to the other side of Nightmare, and she grabbed her hand as we walked.

"Yes, we can Nightmare, as long as we get back before but we'll need to hurry."

I smiled as the two of them talk and I opened my book again then started to read again.

I smiled as the two of them talk, and I opened my book again then started to read again.

Knee strikes

'Kao Tone (Straight knee) is done by thrusting the knee straight upward.

Kao Dode (Jumping knee) is done when a boxer springs up, thrusting the knee towards the target. This is similar to the straight knee throw. The difference being did with this technique; the boxer jumps a little bit to add to the momentum of the thrust.

Kao Noi (Small knee) is used to counter when the opponent thrust a knee throw or is about to lift his leg for a knee or throw a kick.

Kao Kratai (Rabbit knee) is used When The boxers are clinching either in the corner or the middle of the ring so as to drain strength from the opponent’s legs.

Kao La (Farewell knee) is used right after the clinch. If you want to disengage yourself from the clinch, you just thrust a knee into keeping it parallel to the floor.

Elbow strikes

Horizontal Elbow – The horizontal elbow is an elbow that is thrown horizontally at an opponent. The strike is usually aimed at the lower jaw or the chin of an elbow. If the elbow lands, it will usually have a devastating effect because of the momentum behind the elbow. Another target you can aim for is the side of your opponent’s head in the temple area.

Uppercut Elbow – The Uppercut elbow is an elbow technique that is used to penetrate the high guard of an opponent. Unlike the horizontal elbow which can easily be blocked by an opponent’s guard, the uppercut elbow is a technique that is designed to pierce right down the middle of a guard.

Forward Elbow Thrust – Like the Uppercut elbow, the forward thrust elbow is a technique that is designed to pierce through the guard of an opponent. The elbow is designed to be able to penetrate between a very tight Muay Thai guard and cut an opponent. This is one of the best elbows for cutting the forward of opponents because it is vicious in its execution of the elbow.

This is an elbow that you can throw when you are right up close to your opponent and aim for their chin. If you land this elbow on target, it will render them unconscious. The diagonal elbow is difficult to block because of the distance and position of the elbow.

Downward Elbow Chop - The downward elbow chop is a technique that is great for splitting the forehead of an opponent open during a fight.

It can go above the opponent guard and land, or it can go through the middle of an opponent’s guard.

Reverse Horizontal Elbow - The reverse horizontal elbow is a technique that is utilized after you miss a forward elbow, you come back to the side and reverse the elbow. This is a technique that is difficult to pull off and is a very advanced technique that can be utilized in fights. Those are the skills used in the training of the Griffon Empire soldiers. If you can master this attacks, you will win any fight your in. Luna and Nightmare stopped, and I looked up from the now finished book.

"Welcome to canterlot castle Sir Meliodas."

I looked at the castle and, saw it was made entirely of marble with a gold dome on what must be Celestia's room as I saw her sitting on a balcony. I looked away from her as I made my darkness form on my chest. Then I shocked them both when I pushed the book into my body as a way of hiding the fact I didn't know much about hand to hand combat. When I pulled my hand out of my chest, Luna waved for the guards to open the gates and they opened the gates then bowed down to her as we walked through the gate. The mare on my side of the gat emoved her spear out to try and trip me, but I saw that coming, so I stepped on her spear shaft and snapped it at the bottom. She glared up down at me, but I clenched my fist and chakra covered my fist scaring the mare, and she backed off. I unclenched my fist, and the chakra stopped coming out of my fist. We walked into the castle, and I looked at the stained windows and banisters on walls. I stopped when I looked at one of the windows and saw the six mares I first meet blasting beams of lights at what must be Nightmare when she was still part of Luna.

"I don't like that one."

I looked down at Nightmare as she held my hand tighter. Luna let her hand go then pulled her into her side as the three of us looked at the window. "I can destroy it if you'd two like." Nightmare looked up at me, and Luna seemed to give it but nodded her head.

"No, if you go around destroying things then Celestia will try anything it has you collared and whipped."

I smirked as I looked at her and my darkness covered my left arm. "Let her try, and I'll put a collar on her." Luna looked around after she said that and then she grabbed Nightmare hand and grabbed my shirt in her magic.

"Come with me now."

She quickly moved down a hall to our right pulled the two of us down a darker hallway. She pushed a large set of wooden double doors and pulled us in. It seemed to be a library, and Luna looked around before letting go of Nightmare and grabbed me by the shirt collar.

"Get in here! Nightmare go find a book to read!"

She pulled me into an office, and I saw a bed in the back corner with a sink beside the bed. She slammed the door and slammed me against the wall. 'Deja vu are we doing this again?'

"Are you trying to get yourself killed!? You can't just say you're going to collar a Princess of Equestria! The guard and nobles would love to get after you after what happened before coming to the castle. Nightmare could get caught up into the middle of that fight."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed her arm she was holding me with. "Luna, I don't care much. I die, I don't die to me it doesn't matter much. But, if any of them touched Nightmare, I'd kill everyone last one of them." Luna seemed to notice my response and seemed to make her curious.

"That's a pretty strong response Sir Meliodas, why would you gave me such a strong response?"

I looked away from her, and she started to push me harder into the wall. I had had it with being against a wall, so I gripped her wrist then forced her hand off me. I then grabbed her throat and ran across the room then slammed her into the wall above the bed. "I've had it with you slamming me into wall Luna." I squeezed down on her throat when she grabbed my arm and tried to pull my hand off her throat. She let go and looked at me with fear in her eyes. "Let me tell you something, Luna." I pulled her forward and slammed her back into the wall again. "The life force that I used to kick start her body was my own. I gave you such a strong response is because I used my life force means she's like my flesh and blood. But, I couldn't tell her that and when she called me daddy. I..." I let Luna's throat go, and she rubbed it as I back up as my emotions starting to come to the surface. "I don't deserve to be called that again." Luna sat down on the bed, and she looked at me.

"What do you mean Sir Meliodas?"

I felt tears coming to my eyes images of my late wife and our daughter. "I... it was a long time ago let's just deal with the nobles.” I walked out of the office and saw Nightmare sitting at a table with a book on making baskets. I smiled, and Luna grabbed my shoulder from behind. I looked back at her, and she nodded her head to the side. I nodded, and we walked out quietly, and we walked down the hall.

“I will take you to the throne room the nobles, my sister and our nephew.”

I smiled as we walked and the throne room door came into view. The doors were open, and we walked in, and I saw a stallion in a white suit with a long blonde mane. He was a little taller than me standing in front of the throne. I walked down the middle raw, and the Noble mares of the city looked at me with disgust, but I ignored them as I walked up at him. I stomped my foot down when I was in front of him, and he turned to look at me. I pulled my right fist back and then swung my fist right at his jaw. I slammed my fist right into his jaw and I both saw and felt his face bone and jaw bone breaking. I swung my fist up and sent him flying through the air then he slammed into a wall, and he was embedded in the wall as the dust from his impact settled I could see his lower face was completely smashed.

“MELIODAS!”

I waved my hand in the air a few times then walked over to him grabbed him by the suit and pulled him from the wall. “He’s breathing, but one more punch like that would do him in anyone have a reason I shouldn't?” Luan ran over and grabbed my arm.

“Ok, you had your fun Meliodas, but you just assaulted a member of the royal family. We will deal with that later, for now, guards, please take the prince to hospital.”

Two mares grabbed him in their magic, and I let his suit go.

“Hang him!”

I looked at the nobles and saw many of them looked angry, a few even looked ready to charge me. “I hope one of you is stupid enough to charge me. I dare any of you to try me and then the hospital will get full quickly." As they're getting riled up I could see things see things were about to get violent.

“Enough!”

Luan yelled behind me and the nobles flinched as they looked at her. I huffed then turned my back on them. “I need to fix this too.” I weaved some hand signs then slapped my hands on the wall and roots filled in the hole. Then the wood started to change and harden as it turned white. A few seconds later the wall looked undamaged and I took a step back then looked at the wall. “This is fine.” I looked down that the ground and grabbed a fist-sized rock then threw it up into the air as I walked back to the steps. “Well? Whatever you want to say let's get it over with.”

“Get out of here slave!”

Once that was yelled out the room erupted into the chorus of yelling and death threats were thrown at me but all I did was stand there a smile on my face as I listened to them. Then after a solid ten minutes, all of them seemed to lost some so courage as they looked at me and the dust pile growing at my feet.

“Why is dust coming from his hand?”

I smiled wider as I opened my hand and dust along with a rock a tenth of the size it was when I picked it up fell to the floor. Some of them looked at my hand then to the pile while others took a few steps back. “Ok, now that it seems like a little of the anger and emotion has been let out anyone want to know why I punched him?”

“Y-yes?”

The mare answered and I nodded as I looked at her. She was a very well dress pony wearing a golden reckless and long blue dress on with gloves with a streak of white going down the center. She had a long red main with cream-colored fur. “I punched him because he had tried to enslave the griffiness named, Gilda.”

“As in Gilda the daughter of the griffin ambassador Gilda?!”

A mare from the back yelled and suddenly there was panic in the room. I started to get mad but I no longer had my ‘don't kill them rock’ in my hand. So, I put two fingers between my lips and let out the loudest whistle I could. The air from whistle messed up the manes of the mares and many covered their ears to block the sound. Once I finished they all looked at me and I sat on the air shocking them all. “Good, now listen to me please.” They all went silent and I floated higher as I straighten out my legs. “Anyone else want to start an eruption of little fillies or do we want to speak like adults?” They seemed to be annoyed but none of them spoke. I smiled and floated back down and landed beside Luna. “Who’s first?”

“What are you?”

A younger mare asked before anyone else could say anything. “Well, that a tight one. I’m not even sure what I am anymore. I was born human but was forced into becoming a demon like how Luna became Nightmare. But, I managed to suppress that side of me after a few centuries. So really its whatever you’d like to think miss.” Murmuring erupted in the room but I can't make out any of it very well because of all the murmuring.

“What kind of powers do you have and what is with your eyes?”

‘Ok, saw that one coming.’ I cleared my throat as I looked at Luna.

“What you and what my sister and I talked about is private. But, I will ask you to keep that between the three of us.”

‘At least she’s not going to tell them about my chakra.’ I looked at them and sighed. “I’ll start with my eyes. As you see I have to different eyes, In my right is what is known as the Sharingan. The Sharingan is one of the Three Great Eye Techniques. Used by members of the Uchiha clan, this Bloodline Limit allows users to instantly learn any nin, gen, and taijutsu seen through the activated Sharingan. It also makes me the deadest force on the battlefield.”

“How does that work?”

I looked at the back and saw the captain from the other day and I smiled as I looked at her. “The user is granted incredible clarity of perception, enabling them to read lips or mimic something like pencil movements. In combat, this allows them to see fast-moving objects and, once fully developed, offers some amount of predictive capabilities: they can anticipate an opponent's next move based on the slightest muscle tension in their body and act accordingly to dodge or intercept. Although a Sharingan user can see these things, they also need the physical ability to actually act on the visual information which I can do little miss priss.” Now everyone was quiet as they now knew a fight against me would be a losing fight no matter what they did.

“What does your other eye do?”

I smirked as now was my chance to royal fuck them all up. “The Rinnegan is reputed as the most exalted eyes amongst the Three Great Dōjutsu, the others being the Bakugan and the Sharingan. Rinnegan wielders are said to be sent down from the heavens to become either a ‘God of Creation’ who will calm the world's disorder or a ‘Destroyer’ who will reduce everything to nothingness. The rinnegan is characterized by light purple sclerae and irides with a ripple-pattern that spreads over the eyeball. Though I will say I am one of three to have this eye so I can’t say that I am all that.” Again silence filled the room and I could see Luna looking at me clearly shocked that the facts I have given them. I clapped my hands together and all of them jumped. “So, who wants to fight with me, call me a slave now or own a male slave?” The Mare all started to sweat as I looked down at them. ‘Of the fun when Celestia hears about this underlined threat.’
