Howl at the Moon (Re-up)
Demon Problems
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI walked into Clovers Bar with a limp, and saw Time, Big Mac, Ash, and Shining. Spike followed me, his own limp, slightly better than mine.
Clover had a hip brace, Big Mac was fine, Shining looked fine, but I saw him rubbing his thighs from pain. Ash had a cane, Timberhawk being the wood it was made from, the falcon having shaped itself into the cane. I walked to the bar, and sat down, Spike next to me.
"So, how'd you do? Have fun?" I say sarcastically. They all lol at me, Clover saying.
"Fuck you. Berry hooked me to the bed, and rode me when she wanted too. Not that I didn't mind, I do like her, but I wish I could have been able to move more than a few feet." Big Mac just grunts, and says.
"I was tied to the bed. They were nice, and let me feed myself and use the bathroom, but if I wasn't doing those, I was tied up." Shining groaned.
"I was grabbed by Cadences magic whenever she wanted to have fun. She'd fuck me and herself silly, then we'd cuddle." Ash sighed.
"Well, the Spa Twins know how to give some good full body massages, and Cream Heart is an expert at riding a stallion. She had experience." Spike just snorts.
"Dude, I got you guys beat, but Cameron has us all topped. I had to deal with temperatures as hot as the sun, according to Cameron. Satan isn't hot, she's fucking hot." I smile.
"I had sex for three days straight. No sleep, no food, no water, no bathroom. No rest. When one stopped, the next one started. And Faust, don't even get me Started, on Faust. Your goddess, is crazy. But damn if I don't love them all. By the way, Time, we haven't heard from you yet." Time looked up from his drink, and he looked absolutely fine.
"Oh, the girls went easy on me. They asked to be rutted when they needed, and otherwise I was off the hook. As long as I didn't leave the house, they were satisfied." I just chuckle and say.
"Lucky bastard." Shining looks at me.
"How did you last three days with nothing? You should be dead, not sitting here laughing it off?" I sigh.
"One of the perks of being a Howler, is that I can run for a whole week, 24/7, and not run out of stamina. Also, I am always producing sperm. I go once, two minutes later, I have more. I am alive through sheer genetics. That and the spirit inside me that allows me to turn into a howler." They all just shake their heads, and go back to drinking their beers or other drinks. I sip on the root beer I ordered, and look around the bar. I see that stallions are the only ones here right now. I understood why.
"Well, how do you guys like the weapons I made you? Working correctly, nothing I need to fix, adjust?" They all shake their heads. I nod. Thats good, as it means I did my job well.
After a while, I say bye to the guys, and head out. I find Satan waiting on a bench outside.
"Hey hon, what you need?" I ask her. She looks at me, stands, and we start walking towards Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack asked me to help her with the harvest.
"Are you okay with me and Spike?" She asks. I look at her.
"Why? You have my blessing. Is that not what you need to stay with him?" She shakes her head.
"No. When I was small, I was taught demon mating, so I may one day service the Twelve. I became stronger than the other little demons like me. Stronger than other demons bigger than me. I was feral, ruthless. I became an archdemon. The ranks are demon, daemon, and archdemon. The Twelve lords are all archdemons, who have gained more power than all the other archdemons. When Scorpan stepped down, and left hell, there was an open seat. So the Twelve had the other archdemon fight, and kill demons. I had to kill some of my friends. They sacrificed themselves. I was so sad. I got angry. I stopped killing demons, and started to kill other arches. I ate them. I was so angry. When I finally realized what was happening, I had killed ten of fifteen remaining arches, including me. They made me Twelve. I was then taught how to service the other twelve better. I never got to service them, but I was told how they pick mates. They choose a demon from any class, and force themselves on them. I never had it happen, I was too ruthless to the demons tryin to hold me down, and would kill them and attack the archdemon. But I never learned how to choose my own mate. How to learn to love. I dont know how to choose my mate, or what customs to go through when choosing. Can you teach me?" I was shocked.
I never heard much about her past in Hell. But I got that it was bad. But to be forced to service the Twelve! That revolted me. I needed to talk to Tophreltes.
"Yes hon. But I need to talk with Tophreltes about some things. I need to ask her some questions. Can you go help momma Applejack with harvest, and tell her where I am?" Satan nods, and runs off, on four legs, much like my hyena form.
I head to the librarby, and head inside. Ever since the crystal seed from the Tree of Harmony merged with the old Library, the inside has been much bigger than the outside. The outside was massive, much bigger than the old Library, and almost covered the town. It was huge. And the inside was even bigger. If I didnt know any better, I would say it has all the books from my world and Equestria in it, spanning through time of both dimensions.
Anyway, I was looking around for Tophreltes. I call around for her, and eventually I find her, standing up between two bookshelves.

I just smile. She looks so much better like this. Happy, in her natural habitat.
"Tophreltes!" I yell. She jumps, and looks at me.
"What?"
"Can I talk to you for a second?" She puts the book in her hands away, and comes down.
"Whats wrong? Cant find a book, need advice, what?" She asks.
"Last one. Satan told me some of the things that happened to her when she was in hell. How she bevame an archdemon, and then a Lord. Was what she said true, and what she said the other lords did? Forcing themselves onto the female demons?" Tophreltes looks visibly worried. Shes getting nervous, and rubbing her arms, looking everywhere but me. The only way she would be more noticible is if she had visible sweat drops coming down her face. She finally sighs.
"Cameron, I'm sorry. Please dont hate me." I'm confused.
"Why would I hate you?" I had a feeling why she would think that. I will let her tell me though.
"I-im one of the ones who did that type of...thing." She says. She then proceeds to shrink almost, and becomes my size in height. She slowly backs away from me, fear in her eyes, as is tears.
"I guessed. Did you do it willingly? If you did, did you treat those you forced fairly?" She is crying now, scared out her mind. She nods.
"Yes. To both of those." She says. I sigh.
"Look, I wont hurt you. You look to have regreted your actions, and even if you don't, you were better than the others, right? You at least made them comfortable." She nods, looking a bit more hopeful.
"You wont hurt me?" I shake my head.
"No. I wont hurt you." She nods, and wipes away her tears.
"Thank you. Its just, I didnt want you to ever find out, that I forced myself on helpless female demons." I nod.
"And I am sad you did. But, you also might have been forced to do it. I dont want to hear if you weren't." I say quickly, stopping her from saying anything. "I don't want to hear more. I'm sorry for what happened down in hell." She nods.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome. I need to go find Satan, and get to Applejacks. I'm helping her with apllebucking." She nods, and I head off. She heads back into the library, and is soon out of sight.
Outside, I see that everything is good. And then I hear a scream from the far side of town. Instantly, I'm alert. As I run for the edge of town, I hear more screams joining it.
Getting to the edge of town, I see five creatures. One who must be a demon lord, and four demons.
The leader archdemon looks like a hooded man with one arm made of crystal, like mine, but massive. He also has a staff that looks to be made of crystal as well.
The four demons destroying the town are more abomination like.
The first one looked almost like a troll, with a large metal box attached to its head, with a ball and chain attached to the top of that. It had a think body, and shackles around its wrists, chains dangling from them.
The next one looked like a wraith of some sort, with two wicked swords.

The third was the Balrog that Gandalf fought in the LOTR movies.
And the fourth was the creature the Moder. If you want a reference, it's the creature from the book and Netflix movie, The Ritual. It's mythological background is that it's a child of Loki. I slumped.
"Ah, fuck you guys. You had to bring the big guns, on my day off. And, you brought the reality warper. Fuck you Moder!" I say, holding up my middle finger to them.
I see my herd, Satan, Spike, and the other guys run up beside me. I turn to them.
"Girls, get everypony to safety. Satan, tell me who they are, guys, it's going to be a fight." They nod, and the girls run off.
"The leader is Lord Boroth, the summoner. The chained ogre is Falgr, the ogre of pain. The Balrog is just a balrog, one of the higher powered ones. It can grow to almost 50 meters if it so wishes. The wraith is Lutogniew, an archdemon, and the right hand of Boroth. And judging by what I heard, you know of Moder?"
"I know of him, and some of his abilities. I know some of the Balrogs abilities, not the growth, Spike you take him, Satan, with Spike. Godzilla form is most likely required. Shining, Time, take Moder, he can warp reality and what you see, so careful. Big Mac, Ash, take Falgr. Your strength together should be able to make it to counter him. Clover, you and me take Lutogniew. He's going to be a bitch to kill, but we'll find a way. Don't attack the demon lord. He is way to powerful for you. Me and Satan will take him." They all nod, and we move out. Me and Clover move for Lutog, as Big Mac and Ash move for Falgr. I see Spike and Satan moving for the Balrog, and look to find Shining and Time already attacking Moder.
Finally, I start the attack, pulling my Greatsword from my hammerspace, and swinging it at Lutog. Predictably, he blocked it with his blade. Clover came from the right, and was kicked away by Lutog. But not before he got some fire out. I already can feel, its going to be a long fight. Backing off, I take another swing, cutting his left leg, before switching mid-swing to go for the right shoulder. My blade going faster than most could see, was deflected, opening me up for a strike.
He took it, and slashed at my exposed left side. Luckily, I was able to bring my right hand over and catch the blade from hitting. It knocked me away, and I righted myself.
"Okay, Clover, go help Time and Shining. He's to good for you." Clover nods just out of view.
"Yeah, your right on that. Get him good." I nod, not taking my eyes off my enemy.
Damnit, this sucks. I'm still tired from heat and the girls. I'll need to pull out all the stops, no holding back. He's an expert, I'm the novice. Saber, Artorias, lend me your skills with the blade, because this is going to be a fight for the ages. With that, I bring out Excalibur, and plunge it in the ground, and it sits there. It is invisible, like all the other times. I then grip the Greatsword Of Artorias With both hands, and finish readying myself.
"Lutogniew, I wish to duel you. The terms of the duel are as follows. If I win, you return to hell, and hide until Satan takes the throne. At that point, you will come out, and help her as her right hand. You will not be beholden to her, you will be free, but your duty will you. If you win, you kill me, and this town, and any royal that stands in your way must let you cut them down. You leave Satan alone, though, and do not harm her, or her mate, Spike. Are these terms agreeable to you?" Lutogniew doesn't move. For a good while, he stands motionless, facing me. Then, finally, he moves, and holds one blade out, pointing at me.
"I find these terms acceptable." He says, his voice like air being sucked into a void. He then gets ready. And we stand, waiting for the other to move.
Meanwhile, Big Mac and Ash have manages to beat Falgr, breaking his metal box helm, and his head and arms have been broken and pulped. Moder is having trouble keeping the three fighters in check. Shining has each of them in his magic, keeping them connected. As long as he doesn't falter, they are good. Thoguh, Time has been seeing through every illusion as if it wasn't there. Shining has been taking any and all blows on his shield, making sure to keep the others from getting hurt.
Spike is destroying the Balrog as Godzilla, he already broke his horns, and has ripped one arm off. Satan is riding Spike, jumping onto the Balrog, and slashing, biting, and clawing it wherever she can. Spike has been blasting it with his atomic breath, and the Balrog isn't taking it well, the heats hotter than hell.
After what felt like forever, me and Lutogniew attack, the first strike sending a shockwave bigger than Spikes stomping. Others were thrown off balance by the air pressure. Shining luckily kept his mental shields up, and the others quickly went back to fighting.
Me and Lutog where clashing. I go for a lower sweep to the legs, he deflects. He comes in with a spinning slash from both his blades, I block with the flat of my blade, hand in the center of the blade to help control it.
I come at him with a thrust, and he deflects up. I push forwards faster, and shoulder check him in the gut, before spinning around, still right next to him, and slicing at him with my blade. He barely makes it away, as I continue attacking. I have him on the defense for the moment, but I know it wont last. He's an expert swordsman, many times my senior. I'm proven right, as he deflects one of my attacks, and slashes at me with his blades once again.
Barely deflectingnit with my arm, I am pushed away. Then, I am the one defending. I barely get my sword up to block his attacks. Each one a hammer on my blade. He suddenly switches his attack pattern, and I am sideswiped by his leg, sweeping into me. I'm thrown to the left, flying into a building. I shake it off, and get up, walking back out.
"Fuck, was that supposed to hurt? It felt like a tickle. And that's the truth, I barely felt that." I say. I was lying like crazy though, it fucking hurt, just not like hell. I was trying to get a rise out of him.
It partially worked. He snorted, and came at me again. But he was still calm and calculated.
I parryed every blow he threw at me. I was doing better, I could feel that something had changed for me. I saw an opening, and took it.
As he was swinging in from my left, I saw his blade was lower than it should be, and could be deflected into the ground. I do so, and punch him in the face, my right arm having formed a pair of knuckledusters on them.
After that, he knocked my sword out my hand. But, I wasn't concerned. I didnt understand why. He swung at me from the right, and I caught the blade in my hand. He brought his left down, and I pulled his right hand to block his left. I then lept up, and kicked his face.
His head snapped back from it, but he didn't let go. I decided to try and remedy that, despite the chains connecting them to him. I grab the second blade, and start to spin. I lift him up, and slam him over after a moment. I then drag him around for a second, before spinning again, and tossing him. As he goes flying, he rights himself in the air, and lands.
He then charges back at me, and changes his attack patterns again. I dodge, moving back for my sword. But before I reach it, he Sasha past me, grabs the blade, and tosses it to Boroth. Boroth catches it, and looks at it.
Suddenly, his crystal arm starts to kind of crawl across the blade. Moments later, the blade is wrapped in crystal from his arm.
He then shatters the Greatsword Of Artorias. I just look at it, and then slump.
"Fuck." Is all I say before I am kicked in the chest, and sent flying into the fountain in the center of town. I groan as I shift rubble off me, my clothes now soaked. I now have one weapon left.
I get out the destroyed fountain, and look to find Excalibur. Seeing it down one of the streets, still stuck in the ground, I make for it. However, I am stopped by Lutog crashing down in front of me, both blades pressing down on my arm that I raised to block his attack.
I was getting tired of this. This was taking a while, and I am at a handicap by not being able to kill him. But I wasnt going to go back on my word. I will make him submit.
I heard wings flying, and saw a dark blue rush past me, slamming into Lutogniew. As his weight was taken from me, I looked to see who had interrupted.
It was Luna, standing in front of me, holding her scythe. She turn to check on me, and I growl, as I walk over, grab her, and toss her away.
"Dont interfere!" I yell. "This is our duel, and you have interfered!" Luna picks herself up, and I turn to block an attack. As he presses me again, I say.
"Do you mind a moment, for me to see why they interfered? We can resume where we left off after I see whats going on with them." He stops, and lets up. I stand, we bow to each other, and I race for Luna and Celestia, seeing her by her sister.
"Luna, why did you interfere!?" I yell as I get close. As I yelled that, I heard a sharp inhale behind me, and turned to see Lutogniew taking a renewed interest in us.
"Luna?" He almost whispers. I pause.
"What do you want with her Lutogniew?" Luna looks at me wide eyed.
"Lutogniew!?" She looks at the wrath. Celestia is equally surprised. I look to them.
"You know him?" I ask. Luna nods.
"Father." She whispers. But that one word silences all. The other battles are still happening, but to us, no sound is heard. I look at Luna incredulous. I turn to Lutogniew.
"Your his daughter? Then what happened?" Luna shook her head.
"We dont know. One day, father left. I was very sick at the time. The next day after he left, I started to get better. Eventually I forgot about him. But, father what happened, where did you go?" Luna asks, tears forming. Lutogniew doesnt speak for a minute. When he does, it isnt in his usual, void sucking voice, but that of a normal stallions.
"I went to get you a cure. I found a demon, and made a deal. But he had tricked me, and I became a wealth, forever collecting souls in his name, to keep you safe." I look at him, and I just know I cant kill him now. It would crush Luna. I step forward.
"Lutogniew, I propose an offer. If you accept, I promise on my life, a Pinkie Promise, that I will keep Luna safe. I will free you from the demon that holds your contract. You will be free to do as you wish. However, I still ask that you protect my daughter once she has ascended to the throne of Hell. You leave now, I protect Luna, free you, and I place my daughter on the throne. If you agree to this contract, I will follow my half of it. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stock a cupcake in my eye." As I do the motions, I can feel the universe binding me. I can FEEL it, the entire universe, moving, to make sure that I will die if I don't fulfil my promise. Pinkie made one hell of a promise.
Lutogniew was silent for a long while. Luna stepped forward.
"F-father. Please, listen to him. He will do as he says. The promise he made will bind him. Please?" She says, begging him. Lutogniew just looks at her. He then looks to me.
"For my daughter, I will surrender. I will go back to he'll, and wait for your daughters ascension." He then bows his head, and is engulfed in red flames, and vanishes.
"Well, now time to kill Boroth." And I move towards the demon lord. Celestia and Luna move with me, but I stop them.
"No, me and Satan got this." They just nod, and I see my daughter come over to me.
"Dad, whats the plan?" I shrug.
"Fuckim up." She nods. I nod. I transform into my werewolf form. And I howl. Not laugh howl like usual, but wolf howl. The type of howl you hear when a wolf finds its prey, and tells its brethren to attack. I hear howls from all around town, mainly from the Everfree forest, plus a screeching hiss.
Suddenly, hundreds of Timberwolves run into town. I see Sasha, my Utahraptor companion, running into town as well, stalking between the houses, Boroth her prey. Everypony in town freaks out over the massive amount of Timberwolves. Satan and I just get ready, as Boroth raises his staff and crappy crystal arm towards the sky. I laugh like normal Howlers, and the Timberwolves launch themselves at the Archdemon.
He is forced to fight them off himself, as I go and grab Excalibur from the ground. Pulling it out, I get in my stance.
Both hands on the blade, held down to my right, blade pointed down towards the ground. Flexing my legs, I push off towards Boroth. Flying past the Timberwolves, I strike at Boroth, who blocks with his staff. Pushing me back, he tries to shoot a bolt of magic at me, but is stopped by a Timberwolf biting at his arm.
He smacks the Timberwolf away, but is blindsided by Satan, coming in from the other side, his giant, malformed crystal arm side, and grabbing it, tosses him into the air.
Running to Satan, she gets low, hands cupped, to which I step into the cup, and she heaves, throwing me after Boroth. I slice his arm as I pass by, and before I get to far past, I use the momentum of my blade pushing against him, to flip myself into a kick to his face, sending him back towards the ground with a crash.
Satan rushes in, and grabs his crystal meat-beater, before placing a foot on his chest, and pulling. The arm comes off with a wet, fleshy tear, reminiscent of Doom guy tearing off a demons arm. She then smacks him in the face with it, making it bloody, before tossing it aside andlatching onto a leg. She rips it off with the same brutality, before stopping, allowing me to come over. I transform back into a human as I walk over, a large Timberwolf joining me, as does Sasha, my Utahraptor companion.
"Boroth, for your crimes against Ponykind, Demonkind, and the slavery of demons, rape, and multiple other accounts of things that I dont want to know about, I fucking sentence you to death. Satan, Sasha, share with the Timberwolves." I then walk away, as Satan, the Timberwolf, and Sasha start tearing into the Archdemon.
I walk over to the sword of Artorias, and pick up the broken hilt. I sigh.
"Damnit, this sword was good too. Artorias, I am sorry for letting this break." I turn and look at the town, and see that only a few houses have been destroyed, about 6 or 7. That's good, minimal damage.
The girls approach me, and give me hugs.
"Hey girls, how've you all been?" Twilight answers.
"We're fine. Nothing attacked. I'm sorry about the princesses, I just messaged them shortly after you all started to fight. And also, what happened to Spike? What did you do to him?" I smile lightly and give them all a simple explanation of the glove I gave him. They all are impressed by it, and Spike eventually shrinks back to his real form. I head over to him, as the other guys converge.
"You guys did good. Thanks for the help, as I probably wouldn't have been able to take them all on by myself." They all shrug.
"We just did what we could to protect the town. It was you who did all the heavy lifting, taking on Lutogniew and Boroth." Ash says. I shake my head.
"No, Spike did the heavy lifting, I just did some finesse, and you guys took on I would guess low archdemon level demons, and won. Be proud of yourselves. Go home to your girls, tell them how you feel, have some fun, rest, do whatever. I'll see you all, maybe not Shining, since he lives in the north, sometime tomorrow, at Clovers pub." They all nod, and head off.
I turn to my girls, and they all hug me again. Satan is hugging Spike, and Spike is standing like a dopey idiot, smiling. I chuckle.
"Lets all go home, I need a shower."
Author's Note
Whew, finally done with this chapter. By the by, the Luna and Lutogniew stuff, spur of the moment, but if you read the picture I showed for Lutogniew, it will tell you where I got the idea from. Now, expect next chapter to be either a two parter, or one long chapter, as something fun is going to happen that I planned when I read it somewhere else. Mine will be different than his, but it will match fairly close, due to the timelines that it goes through.
Thats all for now. Just want to say though, stay home, and stay healthy. This virus isnt going away soon, and I would hate to hear one of you have it. Stay safe.
Have a Jivin Day!
