Chapter 1- Prologue (Unedited)

Well this sucks, whoever said that being imprisoned in stone for a couple hundred years deserves a punch in the mouth. No action, no women, no demons to kill, bored to death and worst of all, no pizza! I would have prefered hell and fight Vergil with no hands then go without that guilty pleasure of mine.

Sadly, you don't always get what you want in life. A price I have to pay upon coming here.

Oh yes, I didn't just come here. I was forced here. It wasn't until that white coated horse with a sun tattooed to her ass decided that I was too "Dangerous" in the hand- sorry "Hooves" of ponykind.

For these last two-hundred years, I've been sitting here in this admittedly nice looking garden full of flowers and shit with a HUGE creak in my neck and my devil arms taken. Not only that, but I have this Discord talking to me in my head. Yeah, my life sucks that bad.

"Oh, don't be like that Dante old pal! Are you still upset that I beat you in poker two years ago? I did win fair i'll have you know!"

I roll my eyes in my mind.

"No, I'm not upset about that. Okay maybe a little but that's not the real reason I'm pissed off here." I exclaim within my thoughts.

Discord tuts in a mocking way that echos throughout my mind.

"Language Dante! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

Staying silent is the best way to go, throughout these past two-hundred years I've been patient and have lost it a few times because quite frankly. Discord is MUCH worse than Jester/Arkham ever was. And, that's saying a lot. So having patience around Discord is almost an impossible task, such as keeping quiet is. Unfortunately, he isn't having any of that.

"Resorting to the silent treatment now are we Dante?" His laughter booms throughout my skull at such an intensity that if you were standing right next to me, you would think my head is vibrating.

Resisting the urge to shout I talk as calmly as I can.

"Do you have a plan on getting us out of here yet or not?"

"Straight to the point hmm? I wouldn't normally do this but you are SUCH a riot to be around my friend! For that I will tell you, listen carefully."

I hold my metaphorical breath as I listen in.

His voice whispers so softly and gently that It takes almost all my strength to listen to him.

"Here's the plan Dante, we simply have to... wait another eight-hundred years!" At that point, almost all my patience for the last two-hundred years around him went out the window.

Feeling my blood turn into an inferno of rage and turning into magma I feel myself about to let it out but I can sense a presence close to me, and it's not Discord.

Staying silent and listening in to the sounds of voices surround itself around me I can barely make out what they are saying.

"And this statue that you see here class was a human, yes a human! But a nasty and evil one, as you can see here the writing on the statue describes him as 'the legendary demon killer Dante'."

A bunch of ooh's and gasps sound throughout the area in front of me, causing me to figuratively smirk.

The voice then continued.

"It's okay class! He has been imprisoned here for two hundred years and he will never be released to terrorize any of us ponies anymore! Now, any questions class before we move on?"

There's silence for a few moments before a young voice with a country flair speaks up.

"Um, excuse me miss Cheerilee but, this here feller Dante. What exactly did he do to get imprisoned here?"

Oh this is going to be good.

There's more silence before this, 'Cheerilee' speaks up again, only this time she seems shaken by her question.

"W-well Applebloom, he uh..." I can feel the tension rise before another voice perks up, a small and boyish voice.

"Why does he look angry?" Suddenly I feel as if I have a thousand eyes on me.

Discord finds it to be the perfect time to pester me like always.

"Well Dante old pal, you seem to have some fans."

Despite being a bit annoyed at him I can't help but feel good about it.

"Maybe, but then again, at least it's more than you."

I can FEEL the frown on his face! Priceless!

Now with that out of the way, Cheerilee seems to answer this question like she didn't hear the one about me before.

"Well Rumble, you see, the story goes that mister Dante here actually isn't from equestria. And when he came here, he and the ponies didn't get along very well. Threats were made on both sides and he.... killed one." A chorus of gasps and screams were heard, also I was sure I also heard a thump as well.

"Is that what white horse said? That's not even close to how it went." I shake my head.

There were voice's everywhere screaming absurdities like.

"B-but that's horrible!"

"Thank goodness he was imprisoned!"

"He shouldn't be anywhere near anypony ever again!"

"Does he like parties?!"

Not....what I was expecting to hear from that last one.

"Now class settle down." Ms. Cheerilee urges.
The shouts and screams don't stop.

After countless attempts to get the children to behave Ms. Cheerilee suddenly stomps her hoof on the cobblestone with a resounding THUMP and uses her own version of the royal canterlot voice. Or how I would like to call, 'The best way to make someone deaf' voice.

"I SAID QUIET!!!!" The fillies and colts go so quiet after that, that you could hear a pin drop in the distance.

"Well then, seems like she's got a set of lungs on her alright." Discord laughs in my head loudly.
"The chaos! So sweet and beautiful!." He appears in my head and slumps down onto my old beat up couch that belongs in my shop. "It truly is too bad that I can't really taste it while being imprisoned here."

I just shrug at him and cross my arms while sitting on my desk focusing on my imaginary sword leaning against the door to the bathroom.

"You really should liven this place up a bit Dante old pal, I mean seriously, how can you live like this?!." Discord proceeds to teleport all over the place, even on the ceiling. Upside down and all.

I shrug once again and him and say.

"Well, I'm not going to do that because it's my shop. And I didn't ask you to be in here, so get lost." He overdramatically falls onto the couch with a resounding thud when he lands on it, with his lion paw over his heart and eagle talon over his forehead in a 'I'm about to pass out manner'.

"Oh, you wound me so my friend. Can't I just stay for a little tea?".

All he gets is a deathglare in response, to which he sighs and snaps his fingers. Disappearing in a bright flash of light but not before saying.

"Oh, you're no fun Dante, lighten up will you?"

With a sigh, I walk towards the couch and plop down on it. Going so long without actually feeling anything makes it all the more special to get out of here.
I run my hand along the cheap leather not truly feeling it. Just from what I can remember, which isn't much.
Oh well, I can wait as long as I get silence like this more often.

I put both my hands around the back of my head and cross my left leg over my right while leaning my head back and relaxing.

Now this... is more like it.

I was interrupted from my relaxing by a faint voice, a voice that is.... VERY familiar.
I sift through my memories and can only find one voice that fits.
It's HER!!!

The anger starts flowing and I'm having a hard time holding back, suddenly realizing the situation I'm in, I can't really do anything but listen.

"Dante." I hear her, she's right in front of me.

For a quick second I could swear I could see a yellow light flash into the stone imprisonment. What she says next proves true.

"Hmm. I see that you are really eager to come out. Is it for freedom, or revenge I wonder?"
Oh you have no idea.

Another flash appears.

"Not that I can blame you that is, but there is a matter of great importance that we need to discuss Dante." What is she on about?

My rage slowly subsides... for now.

This is interesting, what does she have to say?

After a few seconds all is quiet until she says in a calming and almost relieved voice.

"Good, I'm glad to see that you're at least willing to co-operate. Now before I do this, just know, if you cause any harm, and I mean ANY harm to my little ponies. I swear that you will never see the light of day again." I smirk.

Well, she's finally grown a backbone underneath all that fluff. Good for her.

The golden glow wraps itself all around my field of vision and all over my body. I can hear the sound of cracks forming and with that, Air! I can feel the air! But before I jinx myself I decide to stand perfectly still, even with freedom at my fingertips.

More resounding cracks appear and so does the air over my exposed skin. I almost can't wait anymore until.

CRACK-CREAK-CRUNCH.

I start feeling the weight of gravity on my shoulders. A strange feeling after so long...
Then my legs give out a little causing me to kneel down and put my hands on the resting place I was standing on for the last two-hundred years.

My first breath of fresh air, it was so sweet. Like candy from a candy store.

Breathing copious amounts of fresh air I begin to slowly stand up, causing relieving crackles and pops all over my stiffened body from staying in one place for too long.

I groan in pleasure as I begin rolling my arms around, resulting in more pops. I do the same for my legs.

After all that is done and over with, feeling great aside I step down from the pedestal and look right into her bright magenta eyes. That's looking a bit nervous.

I smirk.

I like that, be very afraid.

She has an ivory white coat with a prismatic wavy flowing hair. Tiara adjourned on top her head with a amethyst jewel stuck in the middle.

"Well, well. If it isn't Celestia herself!" I stretch my arms out like i'm going to give her a hug. Only for her to frown at me.

"If it wasn't for dire emergency, you wouldn't even be talking right now." I roll my eyes at her and cross my arms.

"Well, 'princess' I'm here and i'm talking right now, what is it you want? And why have you released me after what? Two-hundred years? You are one cruel mistress. Even crueler than demons." She takes a step towards me as calmly and as regal as possible.

"You know exactly why I put you here Dante." She looks at me sternly.

"Why? because I told you that I was Half-demon half-human? Just because the demons I fight are complete brainless little shits, doesn't make me brainless or completely evil! I have control! they don't, simple as that." I stare right back into her eyes with a fierce look.

"That remains to be seen." I don't stop my fierce look.

"If that was true then why didn't I kill you all those years ago huh?" I point at her.

"If it wasn't for your kind heart for the 'ponies' you love and care about, I would have killed you right now for wrongfully imprisoning me."

She just stands there staring at me with a blank stare refusing to say anything, until she looks back into the sky and starts lowering the sun does she talk.

"Come, we have much to discuss Dante, and like I said before. Try anything and I will cast you back to stone immediately. Do you understand?" Once the moon peeks up from the horizon does she turn back to look at me.

I look down at the ground in thought before I glance back up and her still with my arms cross.

"Whatever." I mutter and before I can finish I feel the wind caress my lungs soothingly and lets me taste it's wonderful breeze.

I sigh lightly before fully looking her in the eyes.

"Well, lead the way then Celestia." I smirk a little.
