Seven deadly sins Demonking
Chapter 6
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe rode down the train tracks the girls all around me Spirit had fallen asleep and was resting her head on my thigh. I smiled as we entered a broad set of gates, and what I saw was a city, unlike any I’ve seen before. Large buildings surrounded us with fancy-dressed ponies that gave off the air of I’m better than you. I huffed as I head a hand down Spirits hair as she laid on my thigh. I smiled as I looked at my new city as I rode by the building. ‘I’m going to destroy this system of slavery and install a system of fighting stallions." I smiled as the train started to slow down.
"Were almost there, Meliodas."
I looked at Luna as she stood in front of me. I smiled as I patted the seat on the other side of me. She sat down then I reached around her then found the back of the collar. I snapped it opened, and it fell into her lap. Luna rubbed her neck as she looked down at her collar. Then I reached up for her horn then took off the ring on it. "Your mark is hidden my your clothes like your sister. Your free to use your magic as you did before, but I will be the one in charge behind the senses." She looked at me knowing what I was saying, but she knows I still hold the rights to her life.
"Say, Meliodas can I ask you a question?"
I looked at Pinkie as she sat across from me, her mane straight. "Ya?" She smiled a little then started to talk.
"Can you take our collars off too?"
I smiled as I rubbed Spirit's shoulder to wake her up as the train started to come to a stop. "If you want, as I did before you all had the choice to put them on or not." She smiled widened as her mane started to puff back up. The train stopped, but Spirit didn't wake up. I laughed, then picked her as if she was my bride. "When we get to the castle, then anyone who wants the collars say so, and I'll take off the collar not questions asked." I turned then walked off the train Luna, and a Celestia with her collar on with her hands cuffed ring on her horn. The population stopped as they watched us walk down the street Luna having taken the leading the way. Celestia looked at the ground as ponies whispered around us. Then a mare screamed from in the crowd. I looked over and watched as an older mare force her way out from between two large mares.
"TWILIGHT!"
"Mom!"
The mare had on a long red dress with a white coat of fur with a mane of white and purple hair. The mother grabbed Twilight when she got up to her.
"Twilight what happened!?"
I made a move to talk, but Spirit started to move in my arms. She was waking up as a stallion forced his way through the crowd. He was a tall stallion with a sword on his side. He was in a suit, and not the nices but still made him look decent. Spirit woke up, and I let her down as I heard a sword getting drawn. I threw my arm up, covering it in darkness, stopping a sword as sparks flew from the impact.
"DAD STOP!"
Twilight yelled as I threw my arm up, throwing his sword back sparks flying from the blade as I sent it back up into the air. He went to attack again, but I grabbed the sword in my hand, darkness covered my hand. "I've had enough." I crushed the blade breaking the blade scaring him. I grabbed his throat then lifted him above my head.
"Meliodas stop!"
I looked down at Luna and Twilight as they yelled at me. I glared at them, and they both back down quickly Celestia for her part looked like she wanted to say something but feared what would happen. "Twilight you and the princess know I'm nice unless you attack me. I should kill him right now." Tears formed in Twilight's eyes as she looked up at me. I felt my anger dying down as I looked at her then looked at the stallion as his eyes started to roll back into the back of his skull. "Thank your daughter." I threw him down to the ground as hard as I could without killing or knocking him out cold. He was still awake barely and was looking up at me with fear and terror in his eyes.
"Nightlight!"
The mother and Twilight helped him up. "Twilight meet us at the castle later and please explain what happened."
"Sure Meliodas, I'll be along in a little while."
I smiled, then started to walk again. Luna beginning to lead the way to the castle. When we turned a corner, I saw a massive castle at the end of the street. We walked through the gate after I buried a mares head into the wall when she tried to stop me from walking in. She was dead; her head was caved in from the force. The other guards were scared beyond belief as I walked onto the grounds. Luna had made a call for the noble family to come to tomorrow morning for a meeting between them and the new ruler of Equestria. They left to tell the population, and I knew this was going to be fun. I sat in Celestia's old room I had forced her into a guest room, so Spirit and I had the biggest room in the place. Spirit asked why I had her in the same room as me, and I flat out told her I like the extra heat her body gave off. She blushed when I told her but smiled a little.
"So, what is going to happen?"
I looked over at Spirit as she sat at Celestia's makeup desk. She was looking at all the gold jewelry a few had gems embedded in them. I laughed as she tried them on almost all of them fit her. "Truthfully I was going to hold you while we sleep since I like that heat your body gives off." She looked back at me with a large golden necklace around her neck with a hand full of gold bands and rings.
"So you don't want to have sex?"
I was caught off guard as I looked at her. "Well... I...." She laughed as I was trying to say something back, but all she did was let out a laugh as she took off necklace. She smiled as she looked at me then I blushed as played with the top she was wearing. "Stop!" She laughed then looked back at the jewelry. I laid back on the bed then started to think of the laws mostly those around slavery, and those about taxes. Some had to do with the number of slaves you own with a few about how slaves can free themselves. If the families can afford it, they can buy their freedom, and they can repurchase it of the slave and fight and knockout their master. I smiled as a plan started to form in my mind as I looked at the ceiling.
"Meliodas what's with the smile?"
"I may have found a way to change the way things work in this country. You'll see what I mean tomorrow." I turned my head and saw a smile on her face. She put everything away, then got up from the chair and walked over to the bed. I smiled then patted the bed beside me, and she laid down on the bed beside me. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders then she wrapped her arms around me then moved one of her wings over me. I felt the warmth her body gave off which her body gave off. She rubbed her head into my chest. I smiled as I ran a hand down her head, smoothing her hair down as she took a deep breath through her nose.
"You have a nice scent, Meliodas."
"Thanks, I guess."
She smiled then I wrapped my other arm under her head, letting her use it as a pillow. I closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep.
Celestia pov
I stood in my new bathroom in a guest room looking at the mark in the mirror. Then I looked at the collar I was forced to wear all because I rushed headfirst into a losing battle. Meliodas didn't even have to try in the fight. He played with us but mainly me. Twilight told us what the black mass was and what it meant. His body is at his weakest when he has none of it on his body. He destroyed us at his most vulnerable the worst thing he could do to our pride as alicorns. I sighed then walked back into the room and let myself fall face-first into the bed. I moved a hand to my side and looked at the wall as I laid in bed. I know attacking him again would be suicidal at this point, I had no way of fighting him that would leave a lasting effect. Then I thought about what all could happen now. Meliodas had solo ruling power over Equestria. He could change everything if he wanted to, but I was scared of what he might do to my sister and me. Would he turned us into his whorse or worst have one of us killed if the other steps a hoof out of line.
"Knock Knock."
Two soft but noticeable knacks came from my door. I sat up then looked at the door. "Come in." The door opened, and Twilight walked in without her collar on. "Twilight your collar." She smiled as she ran a hand over her neck.
"Ya, Meliodas took all our collars off expect for you and Spirit as she still wants to wear hers for some reason."
I frowned as I rubbed the sides of the collar. Twilight looked at me then spoke a frown again on her face.
"You know if you'd act decent, then he may take it off for you."
I looked at her a frown on my face. "Twilight I tried to kill him, and the second this is off of me I'm going to try again. I may not win the first few battles, but I will find a way to win the war. I can't leave my country and ponies under his rule. We have no way of knowing what he's going to do." She frowned as she looked at me then nodded her head as she looked at me.
"If you think like that you'll never get that collar off Celestia."
I felt my anger growing as she turned then walked out of the room, leaving me alone. She shut the door behind her, and I saw red as I looked at the door. I slammed my fist back into the wall, cracking and breaking it. 'I'm going to kill him.'
Luna pov
I sat on my bed looking at the collar sitting beside my bed on the nightstand. Meliodas took it off me without me having to fight him. Something about Meliodas was different from other males. Meliodas seemed to fight and live off pure instinct with a mix of reason. 'He's somepony to be feared that's for sure.'
Applejack pov
I laid back on my bed with my hat on the headboard as I looked at the back of my hand. I saw my slave mark, but something about this mar stuck me as not such a bad thing. Meliodas himself also seems to be a reasonably nice stallion all things considered. Plus, he had the same color eyes as me. I blinked then shook my head, hoping that was just something I noticed off hand.
Rainbow dash pov
I growled as I looked at my flank in the mirror at the slave-mark right above my left cutie-mark. I sighed as I looked at it and knew I had bucked up bad this time. I pulled my jeans back up then walked into my room and looked at the collar on the dresser in the room. "I can't believe he beat me as a pint-sized pipsqueak." I kicked the bedpost my anger flaring up, and I cracked the wood then sat down on the bed. “For buck sake, what are my mother and father going to say when they get the letter letting them know I’m enslaved.”
Pinkie pie pov
I sat in the kitchen, eating a tray of cupcakes my mane straight as I looked down at the plate. I sighed the sweets, not helping me get my smile back. I looked at my collar as it sat in front of me. By all means, Meliodas wasn't bad but just trying to do the right thing. He doesn’t seem to be the type to want to hurt anypony.
“You ok Pinkie?”
I looked up and saw Twilight coming into the kitchen with a stack of papers in her arms. “Hey, Twilight.” She walked over to me, then set the stack of papers down on the table. She sat down with me, then took a cupcake.
“Still sad Pinkie?”
I nodded as I ate another cupcake whole. Twilight laughed a little as she looked at the cupcake in her hand.
"You know if Meliodas wasn't the way he is we could have been in real trouble. Even something as simple as these cupcakes would have been out of our reach."
I looked at Twilight as she took a bite. "I get what you mean, but we're still slaves now. We can't do anything or go anywhere else in the world without him telling us too." She nodded as she took another bit then a finger around her neck.
"True but he did take off the collars, so it's clear to him we're not slaves. I'd go as far as to say he still sees us as free.” Then she held up her cupcake a smile on her face. “Heil to the king Pinkie, heil to the king.”
