Chapters Chief was only a young stallion. He loved to wrestle with his brother and all of their friends. They would play king of the hill, and Chief would always win. He was a happy child. His coat was brown with a short dark brown mane. He was a late bloomer when it came to his cutie mark but it never got him down.
It was late one evening. Chief and his brother Shining Armor were playing king of the hill with their friends. It was a free for all game, and as usual Chief was winning. Shining Armor was the closest there was to being able to compete with him. He had a blue mane with an all white coat. He wore a sleeveless shirt that was red. Chief wore one that was green.
“Come on guys! He can’t beat us all!”. Shining had announced. All the ponies then proceeded to charge at once. Chief kept a concentrated frown as he proceeded to headbutt his brother. Chief then continued to hold his ground by kicking another one of his friends. The kick had sent the poor stallion flying backwards and he landed on one of the other participants.
The next Stallion to climb up was met with a punch to the snout. Everypony was on the ground holding onto a pained area. Chief was bruised as well but he didn’t like to look weak in front of his friends, or his younger brother. He climbed down from the hill they were on and helped Shining Armor to his hooves.
“Good fight?”. Chief said. Shining looked disappointed that he had lost but he just laughed. “Good fight.”. He answered. “We better get everyone else up on their hooves or Dad won’t let us eat tonight.”. Shining said, sounding a little worried. As they helped the rest of their friends up they had yet to notice the pair of ponies watching them.
“I told you he would be a good candidate.”. The first pony said. She had a long light brown mane, with a tan colored fur. “Sorry I doubted you.”. The second pony said. The second pony was a male with a similar mane but he was much skinnier. “I’m going to go talk to him.”. The female pony said. The other pony didn’t get a chance to argue, as the woman had just walked towards the group of young stallions.
“Um excuse me!”. She holard. Chief and Shining had turned around to face her. “Can we help you ma’am.”. Chief asked. “My name is Catherine. I saw your game. May I ask what it was you were playing?”.
“Oh! We were just playing king of the hill. Mom and Dad don’t like me playing because i’m too rough on the other foals.”. Chief explained. Catherine smiled. “I take it you like games then?”. She asked him. Shining looked uncomfortable by this Mare. She was easy for him to read, but for his ‘punch first ask questions later’ brother, he wouldn’t be able to tell.
“I sure do!”. Chief said. Catherine smiled. “Tell you what. You see this gold coin?”. She asked. Chief nodded. “I am going to flip it a few times. If you can guess what side it will land on, you get to keep it. Deal?”. She said. Chief was excited to win the coin. He knew in every inch of his body he could win it. From most ponies, he would be seen as a rough pony that belongs in the royal guard, but he was actually very intelligent.
“Ok deal.”. He said calmly. Catherine flipped the coin into the air. Chief just looked at the coin and as it fell, he said his answer. “Tails.”. Catherine looked at the coin to reveal it being tails. “Good job.”. She said to him. She flipped the coin several more times. “Heads”. “Tails. “Tails.”. “Heads.”.
For about five minutes, they continued. Catherine flipped it one last time. “Heads.”. Chief said. Catherine caught the coin and inspected what the answer was. “Heads”. She said. “Good game.”. She said as she began to walk away. “Wait a minute!”. Chief had yelled. Catherine stopped.
“So I did.”. She said. She then proceeded to flick the coin in chiefs direction. He caught it, and said his thanks to the mare. He then went over to his brother to show off what he had gotten.
Catherine walked back to the other pony. “How’d it go?”. He asked.
Later that night
Chief and Shining armor had returned home after a long day of being out in the sun. their father was sitting on the recliner reading the news paper. "Aw! boys. there you are. I was wondering when you'd get home.". he said. chief and Shining both were rubbing the backs of their heads. "sorry dad. we didn't mean to be out so late.". Shining said. the truth was that they did mean to be out. they both had disliked their fathers cooking, and while their mother was in the hospital about to give birth any day now, they were stuck with his cooking.
"dinner is in the fridge.". Night light had said. Chief and Shining both gave a slight breath of relief. they both went into the kitchen where they found two plates with food that was so mashed that it looked like slop. Chief and Shining walked over to the window over the sink and dumped the food out. it was expected to rain in the morning, and the evidence would be washed away. Shining walked over to the pantry and grabbed a loaf of bread, and some peanut butter, with chunks of apples in it. Chief quickly grabbed a butter knife and two plates. they quickly made two sandwiches and ate them.
after cleaning p the mess, Chief had went to bed and fallen asleep. He was excited to meet his new baby sister. She was due any day now. As he had slept, several shadows crept into his room. Several Unicorns lifted the sleeping Chief from his bed. Some of the group of unicorns had begun erasing everything in the room from existence.
Other parts of the group had left the room to erase the memories of chief from Shining's mind. They had then done the same to the father, Night Light. along the way they erased chief from family photos as well.
Several groups were out tonight. They would be extracting memories from almost everyone in Canterlot, and taking other foals and fillies from their homes. in places like Applooza, to Manehattan, and Sattlerabia. It was difficult, mainly because of how many ponies there were, including guards. Throughout it all, Chief had been asleep.
Location unknown
Chief had woken to the sound of electricity being waved in his face.
“Hey where are we? How did we get Here?”. A female voice said to chief. Chief turned to look at the filly jogging next to him. “I don’t know but I know that uhh..”. The look on his face had said it. “You can call me Kelly. It was a nickname back at home.”. Kelly said. Chief continued. “It will be ok Kelly.”. He said.
He was trying his best to be as calm as possible but it was extremely difficult. As they had reached the end of the hall they had found themselves at an obstacle course. At the entrance was Catherine, and two other stallions. Catherine spoke.
“All of you have been selected. You are the greatest children Equestria has ever seen. Your families are gone. Those around you now. THEY are your family. It will be difficult to survive, so work together.”. She then whispered something to one of the stallions next to her.
“Allright cadets, I am Avery. Today you will all be going through this obstacle course. It will be a small warm up for you all.”. The stallion had said. Chief had always loved a challenge. Especially if there was a prize. “What do we win for finishing first sir?”. Chief had yelled. The Avery smiled wickedly. “Dinner. You win Dinner, 117.”. Chief was confused when he was called a number, but he was determined to win. There were worried murmurs going on around him.
“GO!”. Avery shouted. Everyone had split up into groups. There were different lines to take. Chief didn’t care which line he took, so he just took the line that Kelly was on. He ran to the obstacle course with incredible speed. He had climbed over his first objective, and kept his pace.
“First!”. Chief had announced to Avery, who was in front of him. An entire group had climbed the pole and rung the bell. “Red team is first.”. Avery announced. Chief went wide eyed. He gave Avery a a surprised stare that also showed a form of anger. Another group had reached the top. “Green team is second.”. Finally the rest of Chief’s group had reached the top.
One of the stallions was staring at chief for a moment. “Thanks for nothing.”. He said as he head butted chief to the ground. Chief barely felt it but he was in too much shock to get up from the ground. “But I finished FIRST.”. Chief said. Avery only shook his head.
“You may have finished first but your team finished last.”. He said. Chief was still confused. “You don’t win unless your team wins.”. Avery had then explained. Chief had let that sink in. Different kinds of thoughts ran through his head. He hadn’t even noticed that Kelly spat on his face before she left. Chief wiped it off of him, and knew he had to do something to make it up to the group he was now stuck with.
Cafeteria
Kelly and a few of their teammates were sitting at a table.Their group wasn’t allowed to eat dinner for the rest of the week. They all turned their heads and saw Chief approaching. “What do you want?”. Kelly spat.
“Kelly-”. One of the team mates was trying to calm her. “No Kelly is right. You could have helped us today but instead you left us in the dirt.”. A filly had said. “I know, and i’m really sorry.”. Chief began. He pulled out some crackers. “I stole these a little while ago. They’re stale but it's better than nothing.”. Chief said.
The ponies in the group took the crackers from chief. The all were happy that Chief would go out of his way for them but they didn’t have smiles on their faces. “It’s not a salad.”. Kelly said. “I know. I promise things will be different. I’ll never let you guys down again.”. Chief had said.
And just like that. There was a spark of leadership in him.
Do you ever regret your actions?
I don’t regret a single action I ever made.
What about Grim?
… How do you know about Grim?
We’ve kept a watchful eye on you for a long time now. Read your files on him to.
I do not wish to speak of him!
We will speak of him if I say so. You are the one in chains right now.
Fine… what do you want to know?
Tell me about the Argent project.
Author's Note
I hope you like this. it was just a little Idea I had. there's two parts to the prologue, to introduce the characters, and their relationships with their siblings. (I tried to keep names as pony like as possible.)
It was the day of the trial. The court room was large, with dozens of benches for ponies to sit at. Paintings were hung on walls, and there were stained glass windows. Ponies from all over were waiting in anxiety for the accused to come through the doors of the back.
Princess Celestia had waited patiently. Never had she had to deal with a situation such as this. She sat at her seat, which towered all of the ponies. She could sense their emotions. “Annoyance, anxious, and fear.”. She whispered to herself.
Fear was taken over by two of her citizens. Mr, and Mrs. Shy. they are the parents of the accused. Celestia took a deep breath before taking a look at the clock on the wall. It read 3:27 pm. Celestia was not showing it, but she was getting impatient. Just as she was about to ask what the delay was, the courtroom doors opened.
Two guards came in. They were dressed in normal golden armor. They were equipped with spears, and she could sense that one of them was calm. While the other was furious. The both tugged on a set of chains and in came the accused. He was a tan colored stallion with a light brown mane. He was extremely fit, for his age.
The accused was lead to his podium. As he passed his parents, Celestia couldn’t help but shed a small tear. This stallion was only a teenager. She knew she couldn’t let that get in the way. Celestia took on a serious face and said to her assistant. “Read the charges.”.
“Grim Shy, youngest to ever be enlisted into the royal guard at the age of sixteen.”. The assistant had read Grim’s title. “You stand here today after being given a direct order from your commanding officer.”. The assistant continued. “Instead of following that said order, you attacked, and killed him. You didn’t just kill him, you left him with no arms, a broken ribcage, AND internal bleeding.”. The assistant finished.
The spectating ponies were all fearful of Grim now. At first they thought that he was just a simple criminal. Now they see him as a monster. Mr, And Mrs. Shy didn’t look upset. They had seen the whole thing. They were fearful. Fearful of what would happen to their son.
“How do you plead?”. Celestia said, taking an ice cold voice. Every pony eyed Grim. He was emotionless. “Guilty.”. He simply said. Every pony gasped. Especially his parents. “Why do you admit so easily?”. Celestia asked with genuine curiosity.
“He had ordered our unit to attack innocent civilians, in order to kill an incognito terrorist. Not only that, but my parents, and baby sister were in the group.”. Grim had explained. Celestia was still not pleased. He may have had a good reason, but he shouldn’t have killed.
Celestia, was not showing it, but she was shocked beyond all belief. One of her commanders would give that kind of command. She would have had him questioned, but Grim had given him a death sentence. Celestia only sighed. “Grim. I had high hopes for you. You shouldn’t have killed him. You should have brought him in for questioning.”. She explained.
Grim held his head down. It was rather upsetting to look at. He turned his head, and looked at his parents. His father seemed to be at his breaking point, while his mother was holding his baby sister fluttershy. His mother seemed to be crying lightly. He quickly mouthed i’m sorry to them.
“Grim Shy. For killing your commanding officer, I must strip you of your guard title, and give you life in prison.”. Celestia said. It had pained her so much. He was young, and trying to protect those he cared for.
Just, as she was about to beat her hammer on the desk, the courtroom doors, slammed open. A mare had walked in, with a grey mane and a fancy dress.
“Now now your majesty, i don’t think that would be necessary.”. The mare said. “Oh. it’s you.”. Celestia said with a bit of annoyance. The mare stopped in place. “What? Do you not miss your old friends tia?”. The mare had said.
“You are scum Peirce!”. Celestia shouted. She then realised what she said, and bowed her head in shame. “What do you want peirce?”. Celestia said. Peirce had a smile on her face. “I want Mr Grim over there.”. She had said.
“Excuse me?”. Grim said in a surprised voice. Peirce only rolled her eyes. “Here me out Tia. Instead of stripping him from the military.”. Peirce had said. “You let him work for the rest of his military career, for me at the phobos base in Saddle Arabia.”. Peirce had said in a convincing voice.
Celestia was quick to answer with a sigh. She eyed Grim for a moment. “Grim? What do you want? Prison, or Phobos?”. Celestia said. Grim looked to his parents and sister. His parents both looked shocked that he wanted their opinion. They quickly pointed towards peirce. Even Fluttershy was pointing at Peirce.
“I pick phobos.”. Grim said. Celestia smiled. She actually was glad he picked Peirce. As much as She doesn’t trust peirce, she knows that she will most likely use Grim as a guard.
Grim was released from his shackles. He approached his parents and sister and hugged them all tenderly. He continued to cry in their embrace for several minutes before peirce approached. “Alright Grim lets go. We have work to do.”. Grim went wide eyed. “Can I at least say goodbye?”. He asked. “Fine.”. Peirce said as she walked out of the room.
Pierce began to quietly trot her way out of the courtroom. All the while, Celestia was glaring daggers at her. Celestia had hated Pierce for reasons unknown to most other ponies. Reasons the would get you killed for asking about them.
Grim hugged his family as tight as he could. “I’m so sorry.”. He said. He began to repeat it over and over, each time it got quieter. “It will be alright. You did what you thought what you thought was right.”. Mrs. Shy had said.
Fluttershy, who was completely oblivious to what was going on reached out to her older brother. He smiled down at her, and gently lifted her from her mother's arms. He booped her snout, which made fluttershy giggle.
“Alright, I got to go away for a while.”. He whispered to her. “Keep an eye on Mom, and Dad for me ok?”. Grim said. Fluttershy made a raspberry noise. Grim gave her back to Mrs. Shy. Grim then went to his father. He hugged him lightly. “Please stay safe son.” His father had warned.
Grim only chuckled. “I’ll try my best Dad.”. He said. For one last time he had hugged his family, kissed them all on their cheeks and left with pierce, to phobos, in Saddle Arabia.
Three Weeks Later
After being on a transport to a remote location, Grim and his teammates were going to investigate, strange occurrences of disappearances, and loss of contact to the entire south side of the phobos base.
Grim was wearing an all green armor with a grey helmet with a blue visor. His teammates wore similar armor. As they were getting off of their transport, they walked towards the entrance of the south side of the base.
Grim was about to be the first person to go in, but a hand had stopped him. “Hold up there traitor. You get to watch our backs. Why don’t you stand guard out here.”. His team leader had called.
Grim’s team was informed of Grim’s past, and they would call him the traitor. They didn't trust him, and they gave him a look that said they would rather kill him than be around him. Though Grim had just ignored them.
He sighed and nodded his head. He grabbed the experimental pistol, the facility had invented. His teammates grabbed other weapons such as shotguns, and machine guns. One of them had even taken two m16s.
They proceeded to walk through the door, and leave Grim to stand guard with just his pistol. Grim took the time to pull out a piece of pen and paper out from his pocket to write to his family.
He made a habit of writing to them once a week. He began to think about what he was going to write about. He tried to be as discreet about what to write to his family as possible. For about an hour or two he was completely silent, as he had written his letter.
Just as he had finished, several pained screams were heard from the inside of the base. Grim looked terrified. He wanted to enter, and help his comrades, but he was being held back by orders by his superiors.
Another audible scream was heard. Grim shouted at the top of his lungs. “CELESTIA DAMN IT!”. He cursed. He then kicked down the door, and ran inside. The door closing behind him, and locking.
The room he found himself in was medium sized with four pillars. On the ground was one of his comrades. They were badly wounded and seemed to be dying. Grim hastily ran to him. “Hey! Are you ok?! What happened?”. Grim was shouting. The dying marine looked at Grim.
“We got overrun by those things. Everyone else is trying to keep moving forward.”. The marine said. Grim frowned. “What are you referring to by those things?”. Grim asked. The Marine only coughed a few times. “You’ll find out. One more thing.”. He called. “Yes?”. Grim asked. “I don’t know why but I know you are going to survive this. When you get out of here I want you to tell my son, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it home. His name is Blue Blood.”. He said before dying from the blood loss.
Grim didn’t feel sadness. In fact he had felt rage . Only rage . He might not have known this stallion but he had a family. That was something that can’t be replaced. Whatever was here took a child's father away.
Before Grim could contemplate through his mind, an audible BANG Rang through the air. Next to the ground where Grim was crouched, was a small bullet hole. Grim turned his head to see a stallion holding a pistol but the stallion looked as though he were a zompony. He was wearing a grey armor, and he had blood covering his face. His mane was slicked back.
Grim didn’t think. He aimed down the sights of his pistol and pulled the trigger three times. The zompony grunted with a very distorted voice before falling on its back dying. Grim Felt a sudden rush. He felt as if he had an uncontrollable amount of energy, just from killing that thing. It was an enticing feeling.
Another zompony came in front of Grim. This one had no mane, and it wore a black armor. It wielded a shotgun.grim once more shot the zompony, only this one had fallen to its knees. Grim felt a desire to rush straight at it.
With speeds he didn’t know he had he charged at the wounded threat and lifted the monster over his head. Then with uncontrollable furry, and strength Grim ribbed the monster in half. Blood had fallen over the marine. All he did was smile. It was a good feeling. A desirable thirst.
He came into a room with two strange brown creatures. They had red eyes and what looked like spikes coming out of its shoulders. One of them roared and threw a fireball at Grim. he easily dodged the ball of fire and shot his shotgun. The brown creature had flown backwards and died from the impact.
The other one jumped with incredible force at Grim. It had him pinned to the ground until Grim kicked it off of him. Grim then used his free time to continuously punch the monster while it was down. Blood splattered everywhere, as he continued to punch its face. He then delivered one final blow which had caused its head to explode in a pile of blood.
Grim moved on. After killing those two he felt even better. It was incredible. He came upon a safe room. He quickly pressed a button which would transport him to the next area of the base so he could catch up with the rest of his team. That is if they are alive.
Three years later
That started my quest against the wicked here in tartarus.
Interesting… look this armor will enhance your ability to absorb argent energy.
You mean I could before?
When you first started your quest you said that after killing your first demon, you had an amazing feeling, an unquenchable thirst for their blood.
That was me absorbing argent?
Yes! This armor will allow you to absorb it into several different levels at once as well!
Tell me how this armor can help me.
When you absorb argent, you can gain a demon's health, gain their strength, their life nourishment and more.
So I don't have to wait to find a safe place to eat demon meat? The argent just gets turned into food?
Exactly! Also only you can wear the armor. The armor is also unbreakable and is completely weightless on you!
You had me a long time ago
Over the past three years Grim had learned a lot about tartarus and the demons. He also learned that he is the only being alive that can absorb an energy called argent. After killing all the demons in equestria and liberating the phobos base, he had one last letter he had written to his family. A very thankful pierce was willing to deliver the letter to his parents.
Grim had closed a hell portal that pierce had accidentally opened. Though he had to close it on one side. The demons side. Princess Celestia, who was informed of the amount deaths had been told what happened and did what was best for the world. She wrote the whole thing off the records. To not start panics.
Back in tartarus Grim had met a human. The human didn't remember his old name, although he only remembered what the demons had called him. The Betrayer. He was known as this because he willingly gave his universe to the mercy of the demons, to resurrect his son. His son did get resurrected although he became a demon that was once known as the Icon Of Sin.
Before Grim had met The Betrayer, he had destroyed the Icon Of Sin. The Betrayer was actually happy about it. His explanation was that his son no longer had to suffer.
Grim wore a suit of armor The Betrayer gave him called ‘the praetor suit’. The suit had made Grim hundreds if not thousands of times more powerful. He became what demons had feared most. The armor, and the argent energy he absorbed had changed his physical appearance.
He now had the physical of a human. He had pale skin and light brown hair. His new appearance didn’t bother him at all. Mostly because he was in his praetor suit and slaughtering demons with a might sword.
For ten long years Grim was on a massive killing spree. Every time he killed, he seemed to have gotten faster and stronger. Eventually the demons had tricked him and forced their blood temple to collapse on top of him.
The impact had left him unconscious, and for the next nine years, Grim would lie in a tomb, asleep. His praetor suit would be next to him. He lay there for what felt like an eternity until he heard a voice.
They are rage,
As the voice had finished Grim’s vision had came back to him. Strange metallic pincers were directly over his head. He looked down from the pincers to see he was in chains. He yanked on them. He heard a familiar growl. He turned his head to see what looked like an infected human walking straight for him.
Grim yanked on his chains harder and eventually pulled free from them. He slapped the infected human and slammed its head on the edge of his sarcophagus with enough force to make his head explode.
He then pulled his other arm free of its chains and he stood up. There were three other infected in the room, and a pistol at the foot of the sarcophagus. Grim leapt from his position and grabbed the pistol.
With quick aim he killed the infected with headshots. He then proceeded to inspect hi new weapon. It was unlike any pistol he had ever seen. By the energy it was giving off it was powered by argent energy. That would last a lifetime if it was in the hands of Grim.
He walked over to a doorway and saw what looked like a control panel but very advanced. Grim pressed is hand against the control panel. A strange human woman formed as a hologram. Grim took this in as information to keep in his head, that humans were technological.
“We have to contain this.”. The woman said. Although her voice sounded very familiar to Grim. He ignored it and looked at the now open door. It revealed his armor but some things were different about it. It seemed technological. ‘The humans seemed to have tampered with it.’. Grim thought.
He slowly proceeded to place his armor on.
Sixteen hours later
Grim felt numb. He had to go through the electrical feeling so many times within the past few hours. He had to deal with the demons invading this dimension because a woman named Olivia Pierce thought that the demons would paint a better picture for the universe.
She had her chance to have this little dream when Samuel Haden was messing with Tartarus to gain its resources. Grim had fought for the past few hours and successfully killed Olivia Pierce. Now he is face to Face with Samuel Haden for the second time that day.
“That’s it. You’ve won. You closed the hell portal and stopped the invasion.”. Samuel had started. “But its come at a cost. Argent, Vaga, this ENTIRE operation.”. He continued. Little did he know that Grim actually saved Vaga into a back up chip for his praetor suit.
“You see I've watched you work. Come to understand your motivation.”. He claimed about Grim. “You think the only way is to kill them all, Leave nothing behind, and you may be right.”. He said. “But we can't just shut it all down! Without argent energy it will be worse.”. He stated.
Grim felt his chest getting heavy. This was the first being he had ever allowed himself to not shoot, and he was Betraying Grim Like this? “I am not the villain in this story. I do what I do because there is no choice. Don't expect you to agree.”. Samuel said sadly. He then used the magnets in his hands to bring the crucible from Grims side, straight to his hand.
“But with this, we can continue our work.”. Samuel held onto the crucible as a voice started to speak. “Tether reroute courdenets changed.”. The voice had said. “I can't kill you, but I wont have you standing in our way!”. He said has he activated the crucible. The crucible created a long red sword with many demonic symbols on the blade.
“We are done here.”. He says as he starts walking away. Grim starts to move forward but is cut off by the Tether activating. He is hit by a wave of electricity, before he is thrown back in tartarus. As he arrives he looks up to see hundreds if not thousands of demons ready to charge straight at him. Though they are all hesitant. “Kill the Doomslayer!”. A demon had somehow yelled.
All of the demos suddenly started to run at once. Grim, who only knew himself now as the Doomslayer cracked his knuckles. ‘Just another day in hell.’. He thought to himself as he too began to charge.
meanwhile
his appearance had changed to one of a human due to the spartan experimentation. most of his foal-hood friends had died because of the operation. he currently wore armor as green as grass, with a dark yellow visor. the master chief aims his sniper rifle up at a mare who is leading a major rebellion against the zebra republic. Chief takes a quick breath. he had been doing this for years. this was no different.
with no sorrow in his mind, he pulls the trigger.

It took me SOOOO long to finish this. its like 11:32 pm. anyway I hope you enjoy this, I followed the doom guy is doomslayer theory, if you didnt like this then I would like to know why. yatta yatta yatta
Twilight was visiting her parents for the day. She had recently been on a boat ride with her friends that resulted in meeting creatures called humans. For days on end they fought their way through a few massive waves of massive bugs known as arachnids.
After her little trip she was given permission to visit her parents with her brother Shining Armor, and his wife Cadence. Spike was also visiting. He was there to help Night Light set up some new lights around the house.
During this particular visit Twilight had finally brought a question that had been burning through her since she was a filly. Why was there one room in the house that was locked? It had been locked for years, and seemed as though an illusion spell was placed on it. She could see past it though. To her it was pretty easy.
She stared at the cloaked door for a while. Before a voice had brought her out of her senses. “What are you looking at Twily?”. Shining had asked as he approached with the rest of the family. Twilight kept a furrowed brow. “Why do we have a cloaked door here?”. She asked.
Everyone in the room had a raised eyebrow. “What do you mean sweety?”. Twilight's father Night light asked. “I mean, why is there a door with an illusion spell on it. It's the most powerful illusion spell I had ever seen before.”. Twilight stated.
Everyone was in a state of confusion. “Can you dispel it?”. Cadence asked. Twilight pondered for a moment. “No. This is way to powerful for me. I think Princess celestia would have to unlock this.”. Twilight explained. Shining had wide eyes for a moment.
“Who's magic is more powerful than yours?”. He asked. Twilight suddenly felt scared. When she became an alicorn she gained more power. Power that surpassed all others except for her other princesses. “I don’t know, and that scares me a little Shining.”. She said. Spike was quick to write a letter. “Don’t worry guys I already wrote a letter to Mom.”. He said.
Twilight Velvet gave him a little hug. “Aren't you just the helpful little nephew.”. She said. Spike rolled his eyes. “It's nothing aunty.”. He said. She let him go so he could deliver his message.
He always kept paper, ink, and a feather close by in case of something like this would happen, or if he ever wanted to talk to his mother. He had begun to write a simple letter.
Dear Mom
With that Spike blew a green flame and the letter vanished into magic. “What now?”. Velvet asked. “Now we wait.”. Shining said. Spike let out a chuckle, and all eyes were on him. “Trust me. Mom would never miss an opportunity to spend time with me.”. Spike said.
Celestia was in the middle of court, doing her normal routine of helping her snotty nobles solve their problems. For right now she had two nobles arguing because one of them had a bush that grew a little bit into the other nobles property.
They weren't paying attention to her, they kept blasting arguments at each other. Celestia began to beat her head on the stand. It was very loud but still no one noticed. The two nobles then broke out into fist fights.
She had just finished helping her human guests settle into different rooms, as well as Captain Caleo's crew. It wasn't very tedious, but it was still a little bit of a chore. The only thing she didn't like about her guests was that they were already done questing her and Luna. thus left her to deal with the day court. Celestia quickly slammed her head on her pedestal again.
Suddenly a letter appeared in front of Celestia. She looked up and took it slowly to read it. A smile quickly formed on her face and she teleport-ed out of the room. All of the ponies that were watching the two nobles continued to watch until the guards pulled them apart.
The accuser then proceeded to talk. “As I was saying your majesty-”. He then realized that the princess was gone. All the ponies quickly realized that the princess had left.
The jury then proceeded to get up and leave. “Hey wait you haven't solved our problems yet! Get back here!”. The accuser shouted.
Spike quickly checked the clock on the wall. He put up his finger and pulled them down. “Five, four, three, two, one.”. When he said one he looked straight ahead and a bright flash lit the living room.
Celestia stood there in all of her glory… She actually didn’t have much glory to her entrance. When she arrived she expected to have some grace to herself although she stumbled and fell. She had taken ONE step and she tripped on a coffee table.
Everyone had a slack jaw, while spike just looked at his mother with a ‘are you serious’ face. He then chuckled and grabbed her hand. “Let me help you up.”. He said. Celestia had actually taken the help and hugged her son.
“It’s so good to see you Spike.”. Celestia said as she hugged him a little tighter. “It’s great to see you too Mom.”. He replied. Celestia had raised spike after Twilight hatched his egg. Twilight was far too young to care for the drake. Although Celestia volunteered to raise the dragon, and even though she was given raised eyebrows at her declaration, she insisted that she would raise the him.
Twilight coughed into her hand. “Not to interrupt this moment but can you help us out please?”. Twilight asked. Twilight never said it but she was always a little jealous that Celestia would pay more attention to spike than she would to her.
Celestia took a moment to get herself together. “Sorry everyone. Now what was it that you needed from me again?”. She said as she surveyed the the house. It was decorated the same way most nobles would decorate their houses. There were paintings on the walls, candles, fruit bowls with plastic fruit, and a coffee table that Celestia had tripped on.
“I found a door that was hidden behind the most powerful illusion spell I have ever seen, and I can’t get past it.”. Twilight explained. Celestia’s eyes slightly widened. “Uh… would you show me this door please?”. Was all Celestia had said. She seemed rather nervous. Her eyes seemed to twitch a little.
Twilight obeyed and led Celestia to the doorway. If Celestia didn't feel uncomfortable before, then she definitely was now. She was sweating bullets and had her eyes wide. “You were one of the families.”. She whispered.
“What do you mean one of the families?”. Velvet asked. Celestia looked at everyone before exhaling. “I think it's time I told you all the truth.”. She said. She used a spell and made the door visible. The door had some stickers on it.
Celestia opened the door, and held it open for everyone to enter. Velvet and Night Light were the first to enter. Then Twilight entered, then Spike and Cadence. The room was small with pictures and posters everywhere. The posters were either of the wonderbolts or a band type.
There were two loud gasps. Twilight looked towards her parents to see them holding a picture. It was a young colt, standing next to a younger Shining Armor. There were more pictures of this colt. He was in family photos, and was seen hugging velvet in one photo. Although there were two characteristics about the picture. Velvet was pregnant, and there was writing on the outside of the casing of the photo.
‘Good Luck Mom’
The writing said. All eyes were wide, then they slowly turned to celestia. “Your highness. Who is this colt?”. Night Light said. It was clear that he knew who it was but he asked Celestia mainly because she knew something about him.
“That… is your first son. Chief.”. She explained. She knew first hand that this was Chief’s family because she would recognize her best soldier anywhere, no matter what age. Everyone's eyes seemed to have widened to the point that they would pop out of their eye sockets. “I have another brother!?”. Twilight shouted. Celestia just kept her same face. “Yes. before you were born we… assigned him into a task force. Because we needed him for said task force, you would never see him again, so our associates who created the project used magic to erase your memories.”. She explained.
Shining just sat down on the bed, and so did Velvet and Night Light. “You took our baby away?”. Velvet asked. “It was for the good of equestria. It was thanks to him that we didn’t go to war with Gryphonia a few years ago.
Shining let out a whistle. “Is he a negotiator, or-” he was cut off. “We turned him into a super soldier. He has enhanced strength, derobility, toughness, He even is very good with stealth.”. Again, Celestia was met with wide eyes.
Night Light looked as if he was going to strike her with a fist but he knew his place. He had a furry in him that was growing steadily. “It isn’t fair for you or him to be apart anymore.”. Celestia said. Everyone had hope in their eyes.
Cadence, who had said nothing this entire time smiled. “If my calculations are correct he should have finished killing off a rebellion of zebras in the Zebra Republic.”. Celestia said. “Your bringing him here aren't you?”. Spike said. Celestia nodded.
She said nothing else as she teleported away. Leaving everyone to think about things. “So. Mom had a dirty secret to keep.”. Spike said. He looked a little depressed. “What's wrong Spike?”. Velvet asked.
“Mom tells me everything. It's just that I feel a little hurt.”. Spike explained. He lied. He expected his mother to keep some secrets from him. What's really bothering him was a small pain in his chest, that had been bothering him for a while now.
“You have every right to be hurt!”. Night Light shouted. Everyone flinched from the fathers volume. “Honey I'm upset too, but-”. She was cut off. “But nothing Velvet. Celestia and her goons, Took our son away ERASE OUR MEMORIES and did Celestia knows what to him!”. Night Light was enraged now.
“Honey please. I want to see my baby again but I don’t want you to act this way when he gets here.”. Velvet stated. Night Light was unfazed. “Velvet! They turned our son into a so called ‘Super Soldier’!! What do you think they did to him to turn him into that!?”. He shouted.
Velvet grabbed her husbands collar and pulled him into a kiss. It only lasted for a few seconds before the broke apart. “I'm scared to.”. Velvet said. She then hugged her husband. They were locked like that for a while, while everyone looked with a different reaction.
Shining was holding an old photo and from the looks of it Chief and Shining were the best of friends. Shining was then hit with a series of flashbacks, and began to tear up.
The armies of hell continued to close in on the doom slayer. Their persistence was what made him respect them. They had guts… guts that he ripped out. He continued his conquest against the demons. While most would charge at him thinking they could defeat him in numbers, others knew it would be wise to hide. The ones who hid were the ones who died last.
The Doom Slayer had gotten an upgrade for his praetor suit from the betrayer, who had liked what the humans had done with his design. The sleeves were mostly gone, and the area that showed his stomach, and abs was more heavily armored. His gauntlets were twice as armored, and he was given a retractable sword for his wrist. He also has a canon on his shoulder that fires explosives and streaks of fire. Finally on the back of his waist was a booster to boost him in mid air or to help him dodge demon attacks. He also has Vaga attached to the waist in case he ever needs a companion.
The Doom Slayer had just stomped his foot on an imps head, causing blood, bone and brain matter to splatter everywhere. The Imp had some bullets in him, so the Doom Slayer happily took whatever he could.
He was in a tunnel system. A long narrow tunnel. The end of it was in sight. The Doom Slayer charged at top speeds that were unimaginable to most, and he leapt off of a cliff face.
He landed in a crouching position. As he looked up he was met with another cyber demon. This one however seemed different. It was a pale color, and its horns were straight and sharp, instead of edgy and crooked like the one he fought at the UAC. It also looked slightly smaller and more reluctant to fight. It realized it had no other choice. It aimed it arm cannon.
The Doom Slayer raised his ultimate weapon. The BFG 9000. He started it up. An eerie green glow began to emit from it before becoming intense. The Cyber demon looked at The Doom slayer and lowered its arm cannon in hopes to say it surrenders. Although the Doom Slayer didn’t care. He fired the Big Fucking Gun, at the Big Fucking Beheamuth.

so what do you think of that. I know it probably didn't make much sense, but trust me when I say this I am making a plan, and it will become obvious soon of what i'm doing.
He’d slaughtered them all. The demons that fought were all dead. Crushed beneath the foot of hit boot as if they were dirt. He continued walking his path. Forward.
It was quiet, and it was unsettling. For the first time in his life the Doomslayer felt uneasy. The armies that were dumb enough to fight him had all parished, and those who ran were now hiding.
Every minute the Doomslayer could hear what sounded like crying as he walked past a crevice. It almost made him saddened when he would tear the hiding demon apart. He still had a job to do. They may have yielded to his might, but he still has yet to exterminate them all.
He was on constant alert during this time. The horrified demons might try and defend themselves. He wanted that though. He always enjoyed the rush of fighting a large group of demons.
Vaga was beginning to scan the area. Ever since the Doomslayer had preserved him from destruction, Vaga was willing to go against his own programming in order to help the Doomslayer destroy what was left of the demonic threat in tartarus.
As the Doomslayer walked towards the ledge of a nearby cliff side, he eyed the red hellish environment. It was once covered in demons, with cacodemons flying through the air. Now there was nothing in sight. Once more was everything cowering in the depths of hell. Once more did every living thing not even attempt to run when found. The demons had yielded, and they have accepted this fate.
The Doomslayer was proud of his work. The demons could never harm another world again, He never had to enter another world again, and when he killed off the last of these monsters he could attempt to find a way home.
‘What if I’m feared when I get home?”. He questioned himself. Vaga materialized in front of the Doomslayer in a holographic form. “Please do not think like that my friend. It isn’t healthy.”. Vaga said before disappearing.
The Doomslayer wanted to chuckle but sadly had lost that ability a long time ago. He had the betrayer use argent energy in a way that would give Vaga access to the Doomslayers thoughts. Vaga was his voice, he was his ally, and he was his friend. His only friend.
There was a stomping noise coming from below the Doomslayers perch. He looked down below to see a massive amount of demons running wildly towards one location. The Doomslayer was quick to jump off the ledge.
As he descended he used his super shotguns meat hook to grapple onto a Cacademon. The Doomslayer quickly blasted the demon full of lead before landing on a platform of rock.
He looked down to see no demons had noticed. He continued his advancement. The demons were all going to one place. It was completely demon made shrine.
It was obvious to the Doomslayer that it was a portal. ‘Just when I thought I was finished.’. He thought to himself. Vaga tried to cheer him up as quietly as possible. “At least you won't be bored for a while.”. He said in that robotic voice of his. Behind his helmet, the Doomslayer smiled.
He jumped from his new perch and landed a short distance from the portal. It was beginning to glow. The Doomslayer changed his weapon to his chaingun and switched the mod out for the mobile turret mod. Afterwards he pulled the gun into three parts and fired fired at once.
Several demons were caught in the line of fire, and were left with either holes or no upper body. A Mancubus had attempted to confront the Doomslayer but, he was to quick. The Doomslayer had pulled out his rocket launcher and used the lock on burst attachment. It fired three rockets at a time, then he fired one more rocket. The Mancubus had its left arm blown off, and was staggering.
The Doomslayer charged at the beast and lunged at it, almost knocking it down. He then made a fist with his left hand and his wrist sword emerge. He then stabbed the Mancubus in the already exposed heart and yanked it out. The Doomslayer proceeded to shove the heart down the Mancubus’s throat.
The Doomslayer ran backwards and watched as the Mancubus then exploded, with its entrails flying through the air. The only thing left was the still standing spinal cord with the head attached to it.
The Doomslayer turned his attention to a sudden noise. A summoner had launched one of its attacks at him. He used his thruster and easily dodged the incoming projectile. He equipped his super shotgun and used hit meat hook to fling himself towards the summoner. As he was in striking distance he fired his gun. The result was a blood covered summoner that was in half.
The demons that had arrived were running away except for a select few. A Baron Of Hell Came Charging at the Doomslayer. He used his combat shotgun and equip the gatling mod. The shotgun then started to fire extremely quickly. It tore off the Barons outer shell, and revealed its reddish yellow inside. The Doomslayer pulled the rocket launcher out once more and shot. The Baron staggered and was kneeling down, clutching his wound.
The Doomslayer grabbed the Baron by his horn and used his wrist sword to stab the baron through the head. An Imp was left, and it was running past the Doomslayer. He was about the use his meat hook on his super shotgun but he saw that the portal was now active and falling apart at the same time.
‘If just one demon gets out of tartarus then it could be the end. If I leave then the demons will grow in numbers, making my whole life's work to stop them meaningless.’ just as he was about to continue to debate more on if he should follow the demon or not, a being with a glowing red ax appeared.
It had pale skin with two horns. Its ax had a skull on the edge of it and it wore similar armor to the Doomslayer. Holstered like a pistol on its leg was a super shotgun. ‘Great a marauder.’ the Doomslayer thought to himself.
The marauder roared and slammed its ax on the ground creating enough force to send the Doomslayer flying to the side. The Marauder charged towards the portal and quickly went through. The other demons had went off to hide.
The Doomslayer didn’t need to think. He charged at the portal, and jumped through. While jumping through all he could see where hallucinations that he would normally see when going through a demon made teleporter. He had gone through many before, and had traveled to other worlds before. This time was no different.
Fluttershy was nearly home after her trip at sea. It was supposed to be relaxing. Instead it she was forced to see more death than she would have ever wanted to see in her life.
All she wanted to do now was get home and be with the comfort of her animal friends. It was a heavenly thought to her at the moment. She could see the look on little angels face when she gets home. He would be so happy to see her again.
It was around six o’clock, and several ponies were still out either closing their shops or just enjoying the nice warm air. Fluttershy couldn’t blame them though. It was perfect weather for an evening stroll.
Even Rainbow Dash was flying around trying to tire herself out. The said cyan mare came down from the air and landed next to the buttermilk colored girl with pink hair. “Hows it going flutters?”. Rainbow asked.
“I'm on my way home. I can’t wait to see my animal friends again!”. Fluttershy exclaimed excitedly. Rainbow only rolled her eyes in a playful manner. “You know sometimes it looks like you care about your animals more than your own parents.”. Rainbow teased.
“OH NO! I would NEVER care about my animals more than my own parents.”. Fluttershy objected. Rainbow held her hands up in a defensive stance. “Hold up there flutters I was only teasing.”. She said. “Oh.”. Fluttershy sighed in embarrassment.
They began to talk about the trip they had, much to Fluttershy’s annoyance when a large red circle appeared over the town. It was circular and was as large as the town. “What is that?”. Fluttershy asked fearfully. “I don’t know and I don’t like it.”. Rainbow said as she and Fluttershy made their way to the center of town.
Ponies looked fearful at it for at the anomaly in the sky for a moment until Fluttershy, rarity, applejack, Rainbow dash, and pinkie came to the center of Ponyville.
“How did you get here so fast?”. Rainbow asked the other elements of harmony. “Sugarcube, we all work in the center of town, Rarity just around the corner.”. Applejack had said.
Rainbow only smacked herself in the head. “So what do you think it is?”. Fluttershy asked again. “Its a portal.”. Rarity said. Everyone only looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “What? I may not be as smart as Twilight but I know what a portal looks like, and how one works.”. She defended herself.
As Rarity defended herself Pinkie started to get her pinkie sense. She was having two at the same time. “Um pinks y'all alright?”. Applejack asked. “My Pinkie sense is acting telling me something… two things very bad will come out first and one good thing will come out last.”. She said.
“How can you just determine that?”. Rarity said. “I don’t know. All I know is that there will be blood!”. She said with a sadistic smile that scared her friends.
At that moment a skinny creature with spines coming out of its back and shoulders came out of the portal and landed on the ground. It looked up and inspected its surroundings. Its eyes then laid on the five elements of harmony. It released a hiss and started to charge while throwing a fireball.
Rarity was quick to put up a defensive shield. The fireball made contact with the shield and nearly shattered it. The monster stopped in its tracks as another being landed in the center of the town. It was pale and wore crude armor with a red ax, and had horns. It eyed its surroundings before seeing the Everfree forest in the background.
It immediately took off. Although it did look at the elements and laugh. “Kill them slowly, and if possible kill HIM when he comes through.”. The beast said. The skinny beast stopped its assault and watched the bigger monster run into the forest.
“He followed.”. Was all the skinny creature said before one last figure came through the portal. It was the closest thing to looking like an equestrian. As the figure landed they looked around to see the skinny monster.
Pinkie smiled sadistically again. Rainbow looked in awe at the figure until it approached the cowering beast. The figure grabbed it by the throat and made a fist. As they did so a sword came out of a device on their wrist. They then pulled the blade all the way up, almost cutting them in half.
Fluttershy felt nauseous, while Rarity fainted, which left the shield to discharge. The figure then turned towards the elements. Pinkie kept her smile, Fluttershy was pale although it was faked. She too was in awe. Rainbow was originally geeking out, now was slightly afraid, Applejack had a frown on her face that said ‘I’ll kill you if you get too close.’.
The Doomslayer looked at the ponies in front of him. They were ponies. He quickly darted his eyes in every which way. There was the smell of apple pies, there was green grass everywhere, standing buildings, clouds that had a few curious Pegasus in them. ‘It can’t be.’. He thought to himself.
He then rotated completely around. He could see a mountain with a castle in the distance. That was all the confirmation he needed. He fell to his knees and began to openly weep with no tears coming from his eyes. He was silent, and he knew that.
He heard the grass crunch beneath a ponies shoes as they walked towards him. It was strange to him. No one would have the balls, or boobs to approach the Doomslayer.
“Um… are you ok?”. A sweet and gentle voice said. The Doomslayer wanted to respond, though he didn’t have the voice to respond. He just looked at her. She had buttermilk fur with pink hair. She wore a green skirt with a few pieces of jewelry in the shape of leaves to go with it.
He just nodded. He looked over to Princess Celestia’s castle, and he pointed to it. “Um… you want to go to the castle up there?”. Fluttershy asked. The Doomslayer only nodded.
“I don’t know if you could get up there without a-”. He cut her off as he stood up and began to walk towards the mountain, leaving her and some very confused elements behind.
“What was that all about?”. Rainbow asked. “He wanted to go to the castle.”. Fluttershy answered her friend. “And you let him! Did you see what he did to that thing! It was obvious that thing was scared of him!”. Rainbow shouted.
“I know, but I could see past his helmet. I saw his eyes. I know him. I know I do I just don’t remember where.”. Fluttershy stated.
The Doomslayer made it to the base of the mountain faster than anticipated. It hadn’t even been an hour. He quickly started to climb the mountain. It was steep, but he had climbed much steeper mountains in hell. He would climb for days on end, with major disturbances from lost souls, but they wouldn’t have stopped him even if they wanted to.
The climb was faster than the jog to get to the mountains step. There weren’t any distractions, and he wasn’t climbing a fiftytwo thousand seven hundred and eighty three story mountain this time.
As he reached the top he quickly made his way to the city gates. “Halt! Who goes… there…”. The guard was at a loss for words. The Doomslayer used vegas voice in order to get his word across. “I need to speak to the Princess.”. The voice wasn’t as robotic and was actually kinda deep. The guard just gulped and thought it was wise to not upset him.
‘Some things never change.’. The Doomslayer thought. ‘Royal guard was always a joke. Even when I joined all those years ago.’. He thought to himself more as the guard escorted him through the city.
“What do you mean you know him shy?”. Rarity asked. “I don’t know. For some reason I just know that I know him. I've seen him a long time ago.”. She said. “In a galaxy far far away!” Pinkie piped in with giggles.
Everyone eyed her with an unamused look. “What? Except for the seventh , eighth, and upcoming 9th movies, the entire saga is great!”. Pinkie defended herself.
“What in the hay are ya talkin bout sugarcup?”. Applejack said. “It’s just pinkie being pinkie again.”. Rarity confirmed. Pinkie then turned around and started mumbling while walking away.
Before she was out of earshot, she turned around. “I LOVE STAR WARS!”. She said in a defensive tone before continuing to walk away with her arms crossed while mumbling.
“What's a star wars?”. Rainbow asked. Everyone shrugged in response.
“You’ll have to wait here sir while I inform the princess your here.”. The guard said. Although the Doomslayer walked past him and started to walk towards the throne room. He knew the halls by heart, he was in the guard after all.
“Wait, you can’t just go without permission!”. A guard said. Though what he said had fallen on deaf ears. The Doomslayer found the doors and quickly pushed them open. The inside of the throne room was very colorful compared to how he had last seen it.
There were so many more glass paintings, and a few other noticeable changes such as a change in the interior design and the change in decoration.
There she sat. On her throne, was Princess Celestia. Next to her was another alicorn that the Doomslayer was unfamiliar with. She was a dark blue with a mane that had stars in it. Her dress literally matched her mane.
“Who are you?”. Princess Celstia asked in a calm yet surprised tone. The Doomslayer looked down to see that several guards were trying to weigh him down, but were unsuccessful.
The Doomsayer quickly used vegas voice. “I thought you wouldn’t recognize me.”. Vega said as he materialized in front of the princesses who seemed to have tensed at the little man's appearance. “What do you mean wouldn’t recognize you?”. Celestia said in a questionable manner.
Vaga looked at his friend who only nodded at him. “Your majesty I would like to reintroduce the marine who gave himself to tartarus in order to prevent it from invading your world.”. He said.
Celestia’s eyes immediately shot open. Luna looked confused. “What is he talking about sister?”. She asked. Though Celestia wasn’t listening. “Your alive?”. She said. She got up from her seat and approached the Doomslayer. He nodded at her response.
She walked to the Doomslayer and attempted to remove his helmet, but he stopped her from doing so. He shook his head no. she could see his face past the helmet. It was a saddened one. She stopped her attempt. “How?”. She said with a few tears rolling down her eyes.
Vaga appeared and began to tell the Doomslayers tale. It was long and it was descriptive. He explained how he had saved countless universes in so little time.
He slayed tartarus's greatest knight. The Titan. He continued with when the demons laid their trap and locked him in a sarcophagus for a few years. He then explained the UAC and how he and the Doomslayer became partners. The tale became more subtle when they visited the Betrayer again for an upgrade for the praetor suit.
Continuing his story, of how the Doomslayer slaid nearly all the demons, until he followed two to this realm killing one. “And that's where we are now.”. Vaga ended.
Luna had been paying a great amount of attention to the story and started to idolize the Doomslayer. Celestia had done the same. She took some time to process what was told to her. She then smiled and looked at the ex marine
“Welcome home Grim Shy.
