Chapter 8 'Violence warning'

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I walked down the street at midnight. Gilda had welcomed him into the house when I told him that I saved him from the mares and I had told her it was me the guards were looking for to charge with the crime of murder and the theft of the stallions. Gilda said to me that I was walking a fragile line as I could lose the griffin empires protect if I get caught. I told her that if I got caught, I'd destroy the force that found me and that while I was doing that She was to get as far as she could. She was hesitant at first but then agreed under the condition I flee to the griffin empire if I could. 'Hm, I guess she does have a good heart.'

"Boom!"

'Guess Forge just freed another group, guess I should get to work myself.' I jumped onto the side of the building, and I ran to the roof then jumped into the air, and floated into the air as I looked at my target. The third most powerful noble family the golden tree family. A mare and her five daughters with twenty stallions five former freedom fighters used for hard labor. Most for the mines, they own when more dangerous areas. I looked to the north of the city and saw the flame of revolution as a mansion burned to the ground. I smiled as I watched them for a moment then looked at my target again. 'Let's see if you can fight.' I was about to attack them but stopped when my eyes caught movement on the roof of the mansion. I watched as whoever grabbed the roof side then hang over the edge of the roof then opened a window on the side of the house. I could make out a pair of wings on their back as they entered the house. "This is strange." I flew over to the window and saw a stallion forcibly holding a rag over Golden Tree's nose and mouth as they rolled around on the ground. She was reaching for a long piece of wood, and I entered through the window and stomped down on her arm breaking it.

"Whoa!"

"AHAH!"

She blacked out from me breaking the arm or the rag on her face I didn't know which. The stallion let her go then looked up at me, and I saw two knives strapped to his thigh with a few bottles on his belt. From what I could see his fur was blue with a dark blue mane with light green eyes. "Ha, you had the pair to do something like this kid, what's your name?" He stood up and looked at me.

"Soarin, you?"

"Meliodas."

His eyes went wide as he looked at me.

"The one who shook the whole of Canterlot?!"

He whispered yelled as I leaned down then grabbed the mare as I was going to keep her for so experiments I want to try. I opened the Kumi dimension then she was sucked in. "Ya, how do you know my name?" He smiled as I looked at him.

"Are you kidding me? All stallions in Equestria know about you by now. Princess Luna changed a few laws to make it, so stallions now have most of the fundamental rights like mares in equestria. Princess Celestia tried to fight it, but the noble council overruled her three to two."

I was a little thrown off by what Luna had done, but I smiled as I thought of Luna. 'I guess I owe her a thank you and maybe a gift.' I nodded my head to the door as Soarin looked at me. "Let's move, and there are others to take care of."

"Yes, Sir."

Soarin quickly followed me out of the room then I stopped when I saw two stallion heads mounted on the wall. Soarin patted my shoulder when he walked past me.

"Mare do that to stallions who fight them at times."

I clenched my fist as we walked down the hall, but I looked around before going farther then I stopped. "None of the other's are here right now."

"How can you tell?"

I pointed to my eyes as I spoke. "My eyes can see the energy in a body, but I can see anymore around or under the house."

"What are we going to do then? Some of my friends were here, and I broke in here to save them."

I sighed as I patted his back. "They may have left taking them with them so nothing right now, but we can burn this house down!" I covered my right fist in dark fire and slammed my fist down into the floor. A stream of fire shot through the levels and broke through to the basement.

“Holy Tartarus!”

I grabbed Soarin then kicked a large hole in the wall. I jumped out and pulled Soarin as the flames started to spread around the house. “Meet me at the griffon Embassy before dawn!” I threw him into the air, and he opened his wings as I fell to the ground.

“Sure!”

I landed on a back street and started to run to the castle. Once I was close, I saw a group of guards standing outside the talking. I floated over then quietly so I could hear what they were saying.

“I can't believe stallions can walk around without a mare now!”

“And have the same rights as us mares, we mares made this country what it is not those slaves.”

I narrowed my eye then slammed down behind the two mares who were spreading this hate propaganda. The mares were caught off guard, and a few ran away leaving to others behind. “You all need to watch your mouths when you not behind closed doors.” The mare who was talking looked at me and I recognized them. “Of you two.” I spot with distaste in my voice as I looked at the two mares who was at my home the other day.

“Oh, Celestia help us.”

I smiled as I took a step towards them and the to three steps back. I laughed then turned my back to them. “Watch yourself before you meet someone who isn't as kind as me.” I jumped over the wall then walked up to the castle. ‘Now, where's Luna?’ I looked for her energy and found he on top of the highest tower right in front of the moon.

“Who are you, Sir?”

I turned my head and saw another mare. She was as tall a normal mare but had both wings an a horn. She had a pink coat of fur was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a light pink shirt. Her main was a mix of pink, yellow and purple hair. I turned all the way around and answered her. “My name is Meliodas former holy knight and sin of wrath.” This mare looked at for a moment then spoke. I looked at her for another moment then turn and started to walk to the tower Luna was on. Someone grabbed me by the chest and tried to throw me over then but I slammed my hands onto the ground then locked my legs around their neck then threw whoever this was over me and slammed them head first into the ground.

I jumped back and saw Gleaming out cold her head buried into the ground and the other mare had fainted. “Ah crap, I can’t leave them like this.” I pulled Gleaming from the ground then threw her over my shoulder. I walked over to another mare then picked her up and carried them into the castle. The other mares arms and legs dragged on the ground as I walked down the halls of the castle.

“Um, Sir Meliodas why are you carrying captain cleaning and Princess Cadence?”

I looked over to a side hall and saw Nightmare. I smiled as I looked at her then hefted the captain on my shoulder. “The captain here tried to attack me not the smartest idea you know?” Nightmare laughed into her hand then a thought occurred as I looked at her. “What are you doing up this late young lady?” Nightmare smiled as she looked at me.

“We’ll my mommy is the goddess of the night.”

I felt my eye twitch as looked at her. I sighed then nodded for her to lead the wave. “Find me a place to put these two then I have to talk with your mommy.” Nightmare smiled then she started to run down the hall laughing as she did so. I followed her as she ran then I noticed Luna’s energy had moved and was heading the same way we were. ‘Two birds one stone.’ Nightmare ran up to a large door and she opened the door. I walked in and saw a few photos on the walls of the mares. It looked like they were a couple from the pictures not to mention I could see a strap on sticking out from under the bed. ‘Ok, this is clearly something I don’t want to get in the middle of.’ I walked over to the bed then threw Gleaming on the bed then laid the second mare down gently as all she had done was ask my name.

“Sir Meliodas?

I looked at the door and saw Luna standing in the doorway. Luna was dress in a long dress which seemed more suited as less than formal nightwear. It seemed to be loss fitting with a long white scarf wrapped around her waist. On the tights were larger x stitches she had on a black necklace with a crescent moon in the center.

“You look lovely Luna.”

Luna blushed as she looked at me then shook it off as Nightmare and I walked out of the room. Nightmare waved at us as she ran off as Luna and I looked at one another. I rubbed back of my head as Luna moved her hoofs in a circle on the floor. “Nice night right?”

“Thank you, I work hard on it.”

Luna seemed too bright as she spoke and I smiled a little as I looked at her. “Look, I came to see you, Luna.” She looked at me and she grabbed my hand.

“Come with me then Sir Meliodas.”

She pulled me down the hall but this time she was running in a mad dash. We walked into a large mess hall of sorts, and Luna had me sit down, and she ran into the kitchen to see what was leftover.

Luna pov

I looked around the large kitchen for anything Sir Meliodas, and I could eat. I looked in the cabinets and refrigerator.

“Princess?”

I jumped as I turned and looked at the head cook, Sweet Cakes. A very skilled earth pony mare at making sweets. “Good, I have a guest, and I need some kind of snack, where is something I can take out for us?” Sweet looked at me for a moment then crossed her and put a hand on her chin.

“Do you know what this guess likes to eat?”

Stopped and thought about it and I didn't know what Sir Meliodas ate at all. I thought as I looked at her. “I don't know what Sir Meliodas eats. What would you recommend?” She thought for a moment then snapped her finger as she had an Idea.

“Ice cream would be good, everypony like that.”

I smiled as I opened the freezer then pulled out two cartons of mint Ice cream and a pair of spoons. “Thanks!” I rushed out of the kitchen and saw Meliodas sitting in a chair with a care in the world while in a staring contest with captain Gleaming Shield. A nasty bruise was on her head and she had a sword in hand. “What is going on?”

“I’m going to kill this freak.”

Meliodas smiled as he looked at her.

“You think you can then by all means please try I’m begging you too.”

Meliodas smiled as Gleam horn lite up. “ENOUGH!” Gleaming flinched but Meliodas seemed to get a little angry at this. ‘Does he just want to fight?’ I sat the ice cream down on the table then pointed to the door. “Leave captain before you become a private!” Gleaming shot me and Meliodas a glare then walked out of the room.

“You are no fun,”

I looked back at him and saw a frown on his face. I walked over to him and looked down at him with the ice cream in my magic. He ignored me for the most part but he looked me in the eye when I stood over him.

“You could have let us fight a little you know. But, I guess I’ll go find someone else to fight later or maybe I'll go get a drink.”

I sighed then sat down in a chair beside him then pulled the ice cream lead off then started to eat the ice cream. For some reason I was both angry and happy at the same time. I was angry at him for talking to a mare like that, but I was happy to be close to near i’m and I don’t understand why. I’ve been this close to other stallions before but it was different with Meliodas. With him I felt like I was talking with my sister or my old friend White Eclipse.

“First I'd like to say thank you for the law you had changed. But, I can promise if mare don't change there ways then I'll take action Luna.”

I looked at him from the corner of my eye and saw he was calm and there was no sign of deception on his face. ‘He's not bluffing, I have to keep a close eye on him.’

“So, as a thank you I'll hear you out about whoever you wanted to bring back to life. If the reasons good enough we'll head out whenever I have everything I’ll need and revive her.”

I dropped my spoon and looked at him as he opened his ice cream.

Meliodas pov

I opened the ice cream as I started to think of what I was going to need. ‘First things first I assume this pony have been dead for sometime so DNA will have to come from her grave which may be had. Next, I'll need a living sacrifice to reconstruct her body but with Luna there I can’t really use a pony.’ I took a bite of the mint ice cream then threw my back into the chair and fell back and rolled out of the chair as Luna tried to grab me. She hugged herself then looked at me.

“I was going to hug you, Sir Meliodas.”

I took another bite as I floated high onto the air. “Keep your hugs to yourself Luna. I'm not your friend or a family member.” Luna looked a little hurt by what I said but point was made. I didn’t was psychical contact of any kind.

“I see, but if that is the case why didn't you stop Nightmare from hugging you on he street? “

I looked down at for a moment then turned my back on her a I floated. “I've explained that once already Luna. Goddess this mare is annoying why can she be more like Gilda calm and cool.”

“Shut up you!”

I floated to the right as she threw her ice cream at me. “I'll be back tomorrow morning by seven be ready to go when I show up.” I threw the empty Ice cream container on the table with the spoon close behind. I floated up and through the roof as I heard Luna yell for me to wait. I ignored her then saw why she wanted me to stop. I entered a bedroom and was now floating over a sleeping Celestia. I saw a book in her hand and saw it was quiet out. It looked like one of those books you'd find in a hundred year old house all torn and with a few burn marks on it. ‘What do we have here?’ I grabbed the edge of the book then pulled it through her arms but when she no longer felt the book Celestia started to open her eye. I panicked then shot up and faszed through the roof. I waited with faded breath to see what would happen. I knew I could take her but If Forge knew I was fighting her he'd jump I'm then Luan would get involved and the guards. Sure I had my demon powers and full counter but I don't to show that hand just yet. I opened my Kumi dimension then entered. I saw the mare I trapped an hour ago she was awake now and I looked at her. She was an older mare but was still a pretty mare. Her body still looked young and her her fur was a dark rosely red. Her name was a white with silver highlights in the the middle. She had a nice figure and was only about eight inches taller than me. She was in a fine dress that pushed her breast out and her hips pressed into the dress nicely. She looked up at me as she held her arm. Her eyes were wide as she looked up at me.

“HEY, HELP!”

I looked down at her then activated my Sharingan again. I used Itachi’s version of Tsukuyomi which requires eye contact to be performed, trapping the mare within an illusion completely under my control. My prowess with the technique should allow me to alter the perception of time with ease within this genjutsu to make a few seconds seem like many days as a means to torture her. This results in any victim of the genjutsu suffering psychological trauma that incapacitates them for a considerable period of time. I watched as the mare as she was now strapped to a cross the sky above her was blood red and the mare’s fur turned black and her clothes turned white and black.

Third person view

“What is this!?”

Multiple copies of Meliodas formed around her all of then armed with a copy Lostvayne in hand. They walked closer to the mare and one of the copies stepped up to Golden Tree then stabbed the blade of Lostvayne and stabbed the mare in the stomach. White blood came from the wound and Golden Tree screamed before passing out again. Hours passed before Golden Tree had woken up when she did she felt the blade get pulled out of her stomach.

“AH!”

“One second down twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes and fifty nine seconds.”

“Only one second passed but I passed out?!”

The copies all spoke in unison. “I control this space and how fast the time moves as well.” Golden Tree looked at the horror in her eyes as all the copies moved on her a blade stapping into to her arms, legs and stomach.

Meliodas pov

I left the mare in the illusion as I looked back down at the book. I opened it to see when she had written in it. It seemed to be a spellbook of some kind but not anything I’d care about until I ran across a spell that stock out. It seemed to be a sexual dimorphism spell which would make the mares larger and stronger than the males. There was even illustrations of how mare and stallions used to be. The Stallions used to be three times stronger than the mares and were a foot taller. Then at the bottom of the page I found a note written in a different handwriting. It was messy most likely written quickly or angrily.

‘I’ll make all stallion pay for him leaving me!”

“Interesting very interesting.”
