I opened my eyes and immediately make a mental note that I feel like crap. My entire body is so stiff that I can barely move to look at the clock that reads about four in the afternoon. I remember I blacked out around six in the morning so that means that I was asleep for almost ten hours and this freaking venom still isn't out of my system, now that's some powerful stuff. I might just have to find a way to make use of it in the future. It was almost a chore to lower the covers and pull myself to sit at the side of the bed.That damned zebra must've stripped me at some point because I'm no longer wearing my cloak or shirt, though with a quick look around the room I found it hanging up across the room.

"Ah your awake. I must say I am quite surprised, I thought you would be sleeping for a few more hours at least" Zecora called out as she walked into the room carrying a bag of supplies that she most likely got in town.

"I see you didn't wast any time in taking my shirt off" I said in an annoyed tone.

Zecora stuck her tongue out at me playfully. "What can I say, you make a much more comfortable pillow without that pesky piece of clothing in the way." Her smile shrunk a bit as she walked towards me before nuzzling my side. "I am glad to see that you are alright" she spoke softly.

With a bit of effort I reached out and patted her on the head. "I appreciate the concern but I'll be back to normal in a bit, and because of my healing abilities I should develop some resistance to the venom." I grabbed my head as a striking pain suddenly erupted from the top of my head, I looked up to see Zecora with a bit metal soup ladle.

"What the hell was that for?" I yelled. Zecora tossed the ladle behind her into one of the many cauldrons she has laying around.

"THAT" she said. "Was for leaving me in such a worked up state earlier, and for you being so careless in the forest. It is one thing for you to outdo my teasing, but staying out all night without a word and coming back half dead because you don't want anypony to see how strong you really are is just plain stupid" she lectured. Anything else was interrupted by my stomach rumbling rather loudly which seemed to be just the thing that was needed to ease the zebra's anger.

"Ha ha" the zebra laughed as she pulled away. "Dinner should be ready in a few minutes I just need to grab a few ingredients from town to finish it." She walked over to her cauldron and began to put the finishing touches on our meal while I tried to get my body to loosen up. I gave up after a few minutes since its probably the venom that's still in my system that's causing it than there's nothing I can do about it at the moment.

Dinner was fantastic! I guess mixing ingredients for potions all day really helps with seasoning and cooking. Zecora made herself a bowl of vegetable soup and mine had pieces of chicken and beef in it, seasoned to perfection, not really sure where she got it or where she learned to season meat but I'm not complaining. I definitely feel a lot better with a full stomach, my body feels a bit less stiff probably due to the fact that I hadn't eaten in over twelve hours. I was going to help with the dishes but Zecora was adamant about me taking it easy.

It suddenly occurred to me that I went the whole meal without putting my shirt back on so I shuffled across the room and grabbed it. As I put my shirt on I felt a sudden wave of malevolent energy wash over the surrounding area. I stiffened at the feeling, the energy was everywhere, it was either a strong demon or a bunch of smaller ones working together. Zecora dropped the bowl she was washing and quickly ran over.

"You sensed that right?" I asked her.

"Yes" she nodded. "A large demonic presence just washed over Ponyville and the surrounding area, It could mean an attack is taking place." I moved past her and grabbed my cloak and sword off the wall. I decided to keep a weapon or two hear just in case, and its a lot quicker to come hear than it is to go all the way back to my cave. I made my way over to the door but Zecora jumped in my way. "Where do you think you are going?" She asked seriously. "You can barely move, you are in no condition to be getting into another fight so soon."

"There's not really another option is there? You saw how easily I defeated the guards that Celestia sent and I wasn't even trying. Guards sent out to smaller towns like this one don't usually have usually extra training that the main force does since their main job is to keep the peace. They wouldn't stand a chance against that manticore from last night let alone a demon regardless of its class. Besides, there's either a demon or a group of them trespassing near my territory and I cannot let that pass" I told her trying to disguise my concern for the town.

Zecora's glare hardened. "Still you are in no condition to go out there regardless of the reasons" she said stomping her hoof for emphasis. We just stood there glaring at each other for a minute before she broke eye contact and sighed in defeat. She made her way over to a cabinet and pulled out a potion. "I know I cannot stop you from going, I wish you would stay but I know you will not. This is a rejuvenation potion," she said holding it out to me. "It should allow you to move normally for a time but it only last an hour, maybe less for you since its meant more for ponies that need a quick boost of energy so please be careful."

"Thanks" I said as I grabbed and downed the potion, it almost tasted like Red Bull but without the crappy taste. Almost instantly I can feel my body loosen up making it easier to move around. I headed for the door but stopped as a thought occurred to me. "What about you?"I asked her. "If there are demons in town then some could show up here while I'm in town."

The zebra just laughed and fluttered her eyes at me. "Your concern is most touching, but my runes and wards should take care of most of them. Though even if a few do get through I have a few ways to deal with them, It is my job to sometimes get rid of demons and evil spirits, I am a shaman after all" she said, puffing her chest out at that last part.

I nodded my head as if I acknowledged her abilities but I never was one to take chances so as soon as I was out sight of the hut I summoned ten quantrons. They appeared in a silver flash of light and simply stood there awaiting orders. "Spread out and protect Zecora's hut, make sure no demons get through but make sure not to be seen unless absolutely necessary. Got it?" They simply nodded and spread out to carry out their task, there a lot more capable that the ones from the show that's for sure so with that covered I pressed a button on my utility-belt and faded from view before making my way towards Ponyville.

Once I got close enough I activated my Jegan Eye so i could get a better read on the situation and find out exactly what I'm dealing with and in an instant the information entered my mind as if it were right in front of me. I can see a large collection of both ponies and demons in the center of town. There's exactly fifty E-class demons, that's nothing to me but they are still stronger than the average pony and really aggressive they can still be dangerous especially in such a high number, not very smart though.

There are also ten D-class demons and two C-class demons. The E-class demons were all ogre-like while the D-class were Oni. The first C-class was a large ox-like demon that somewhat resembled a Minotaur just bigger with sharp teeth and claws, and when I say bigger I mean the size of a two story house. He carried two large swords around his waist and an enormous axe on his back.

The second C-class it some kind of cat-beast demon similar in appearance to a large feline from the Kung-Fu Panda series but she looked more like a lioness than anything else. She doesn't appear to have any weapons nor is she wearing any clothing though non of her more intimate parts seem to be visible through her fur which is a dark cream color with her chest and underbelly being white with a large tuft of white fur covering her chest. She is currently sitting on top of a bruised and scratched up Big Mac, her cheek has a light bruise on it so it looks like he got a good shot in at least.

They aren't really going to be a problem to deal with, the real issue lies in the fact that they're rounding up every pony in town into the town's square and tying the ponies up. All of them have their hooves tied but the Pegasi have their wings tied to their bodies and the unicorns are wearing inhibitor rings around their horns. They have the adults and the children split up most likely to discourage the others from fighting back.

Most of the ponies look relatively uninjured but there are a few that look pretty banged up. Applejack is tied up unconscious and covered in scratches bruises laying next to Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie who are tied up next to her, awake but otherwise alright aside from the large bruise on Rarity's cheek, Spike seems to be trying to calm her down. They all look absolutely terrified not that I blame them, nothing like this has ever happened in Ponyville before.

From the mass of demons a large green Kyūkonki walked towards the ponies who could only gasp in horror as it drug an unconscious and beaten Twilight Sparkle across the ground by the mane. Once it reached its destination it handed her off to the ogres who tied her up and placed an inhibitor ring on her horn. https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/51158316-fd7e-48ca-b5fe-8542e9dfe357/ddfrjue-898ec2ab-4c10-4a60-95c4-066d7b4b9b50.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzUxMTU4MzE2LWZkN2UtNDhjYS1iNWZlLTg1NDJlOWRmZTM1N1wvZGRmcmp1ZS04OThlYzJhYi00YzEwLTRhNjAtOTVjNC0wNjZkN2I0YjliNTAucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.iV2X0oup_1ptHjPcUOizDPNZ3GhL9SRRzzfkvadgDUw Before anyone could do anything else a rainbow colored blur slammed into the large demon's face sending him to the ground. Apparently Rainbow Dash hadn't been captured yet though she would be in a moment so with that I ran into town to stop them from killing her.

General POV

The green Kyukonki god back on its feet and growled at the small blue pony. It ran at her and threw a punch but rainbow dodged it, then another, then another. She dodged a swipe of its claws before flying up and bucking the demon in the face causing it to stumble backwards but it recovered faster than she thought and she was too late to get out of the way of a punch that sent her tumbling off of the ground. She groaned and stood back up just in time to for a large foot to slam into her and send her flying into and through the wall of a nearby house. When she didn't get back up a few ogres went over and pulled her from the rubble. She was mess, barely conscious, her coat and mane were ruffled and dirty from the debris, and her right wing was clearly broken from the angle it was now at.

WARNING: Explicit Material Ahead!

The ogres were going to tie Rainbow up and through her with the others but they were stopped by the she-cat demon. "Wait! Don't put her with the others yet. Lets make an example of her to show these ponies why what happens when they don't cooperate." The ogres nodded and drug Rainbow over to a destroyed statue of Celestia and threw her on the now empty platform flat on her back.

Before she could even get her bearings each of her legs was grabbed by an ogre before being roughly in different directions leaving Rainbow spread-eagle and exposed for all to see. Rainbow's eyes widened as her head finally stopped spinning and she realized just what was the demons were about to do to her and she began to struggle in a desperate attempt to free herself. Her attempts however were futile since even one ogre was physically stronger than her and she was surrounded by eight of them.

Tears welled up in her eyes as the monsters reached out and began running their hands up and down her helpless body. Her mane and tail were pulled in various directions some of it getting ripped out by the roots, fist-fulls of fur were grabbed, fingers forced their way into her mouth to play with her tongue and force their way down her throat. She cried out in pain as her teats were groped and squeezed painfully, her nipples pinched and pulled by various hands and claws. The teas fell freely as the hands ran over the folds of the sex, teasing it and spreading her open for the entire town to see and they had no intent to stop there.

End of General POV

I could see everything that was happening to Rainbow Dash with my Jegan as I hurried through the town. As long as it doesn't get any worse she can tough it out for a bit longer, getting the kids to safety takes priority right now since without them the demons lose most of their bargaining power. I cleared the last house before the square revealing all of the town's children off to the side and away from the adults on the other side of the clearing only being guarded by five ogres.

This will be child's play I thought as I dashed forwards still invisible and silently I cut them each down one by one in an instant. I made sure no sounds were made but it wouldn't have mattered if they had as the attention of all of the other demons was focused solely on the molestation of Rainbow Dash. I made my way over to the foals and starting crusaders and cut them free, urging all them to remain calm with my telepathy. With my direction they all moved as quickly and quietly as they could until we circled around the town square so we were behind the house closest to where the adults were being kept about forty yards away.

"Alright listen up" I said in their minds as I uncloaked and appeared before them, they were all terrified and shaking but I had their attention. "Everything is going to be fine. I will take care of the demons but I need to make sure that everyone's safe first. I'm going to go free the adults like I did with you, once I cut them free and kill the demons guarding them I'll grab Rainbow Dash and bring her over to them. When I do I want all of you to run to your parents as fast as you can because as soon as I save Rainbow Dash I'll have all of the unicorns work together to make a barrier to keep you safe. I know your afraid but everything will be alright I promise." The kids all nodded their heads as they knew exactly what to do since I put all the information directly into their heads to avoid any confusion on their part.

Leaving the kids for now I made my way over to Rarity, Spike and the unconscious Twilight. Using my telepathy again I told them all the plan, for them to stay still and wait for me to kill the guards so the kids could run over while I got Rainbow dash after which the unicorns would make a barrier. They were surprised to hear a voice in their heads but managed to keep from alerting the demons whose attention was still occupied. I hurried around to every unicorn and removed the inhibitor rings from their horns. Since there are more adults than children they had more guards, ten ogres and that green Kyukonki.

The fools couldn't have made it any easier for me, they were all basically standing together in a line since I guess they wanted a good view of Rainbow's punishment, and since I can swing my sword sixteen times in the blink of an eye I dashed forward and took care of each ogre with a single swing with a few extra for the big guy just in case. Not stopping diapered before re-materializing in a crouch on top of the stone platform in front of Rainbow Dash before I scooped her up and jumped high into the air. It too a second or two but the ogres eyes finally caught up with their brains and they looked up to see me holding their prize about fifty feet or so in the air.

During the couple of seconds of hang-time we got due to the power of my jump I shifted Rainbow around until I was holding her with my left arm before I pulled my right arm back and gathered fire in my right hand before thrusting it downward towards the ogres sending a torrent of flames to end their lives. They were reduced to ashes and scattered to the winds at the exact same time the pieces of the guards bodies hit the ground.

My presence was finally made known to the demon horde as my feet made a slight third thud as we landed back on the stone podium. I was meant with looks of confusion as it took a minute for the demons simple minds to workout what happened. In that quick minute I'll let my attention shift to a light blue Pegasus under my arm. She's shivering like a leaf and her eyes are clamped shut. I can't really blame her, the ogres might not have moved past the molestation phase so there was no penetration but a traumatic experience is still a traumatic experience. She's strong, with her friends help she should be able to get over this.

A burst of energy snapped me out of my asessment of the rainbow pegasus and I instinctively jumped backwards to narrowly avoid an arc of demon energy as it sliced through the stone platform I was just standing on. Landing next to Rarity I placed Rainbow Dash on the ground before turning my attention back to the demons. The C-class minotaur had taken a few steps forward from where he was before, in addition to that his sword was drawn and his arm was extended as if he had just swung it meaning he was the one that launched the energy attack.

" Looks like you missed Renshi" the female cat demon stated with a mocking smirk, her red eyes sparkling in amusement, her voice low and seductive.

The Minotaur huffed in annoyance. "Why I had to be stuck with you for this mission Zira I have no Idea but If your not going to help than shut up" the minotaur spoke in a baritone voice. The newly identified Zira simply responded to his words by placing a paw over her chest and acting like she'd been struck by something before sticking her tongue out at him. He ignored her and turned to his attention back to me. "And you! Who are you and why do you interfere with our mission?" He demanded.

At this point the fillies and colts finally made it over to their parents and every single Unicorn in Ponyville jumped up at the same time and cast a massive barrier around the area, minus Twilight who was still unconscious. Though before the barrier was complete I stepped outside of its projected range leaving me exposed to the demon horde in front of me leaving many of the ponies shocked but they couldn't risk dropping the shield and they knew it.

" A true demon's only concern should be fighting strong opponents to challenge themselves and increase their own strength" I told them flatly. "Demons who prey upon those weaker than them simply because its easy have no right calling themselves demons. And since your all about to die my name will be of no use to you." My reply was met with a wave of growls and snarls from the E and D-class demons and chuckles from Renshi and Zira.

"Do you really think that you could defeat us all by yourself?" Zira questioned, her smirk from before still on her face. "I mean even if you could defeat all of these fourth and fifth class demons you'd still have me and horn head over there to deal with and we're third class demons and much stronger than this pathetic low class filth."

"Are we not going to mention that I killed sixteen of your men with minimal effort before any of you even realized I was here?" I asked the she-cat with a smirk of my own.

"Cocky little thing aren't we?" She asked. "Lets see how you fight. ATTACK!" She ordered and with that the remaining forty-four demons charged forward while Zira and Renshi stayed back to observe. With a smirk I answered their challenge by dashing forward and taking the heads off of the five closest ogres with my sword before spinning around and unleashing a spiral of fire at two of the charging Kyukonki turning them to both to ash.

I jumped high into the air to avoid the claws of another Kyukonki demon as they slammed into the ground where I was previously standing. As I started to descend I through my sword straight down into his skull killing him instantly before landed on his large head and pulled my sword out of his skull and jumped off before his body hit the ground. I turned myself in mid air performing a back flip-corkscrew before I landed right in the middle of another group of ogres.

All ten of them jumped at me at once in an attempt to overwhelm me to which I responded by touching the ground with my hand. Razor sharp spikes of jutted out of the ground around me piercing all ten ogres plus two more ogres and a one Kyukonki that were too close at the time. The moment I recalled the earth spikes the remaining eighteen ogres and five Kyukonki all charged me as if they hadn't seen what just happened to their friends.

Before any of them could even register what happened I reached into my hair and pulled out a single, beautiful rose. I channeled my demonic energy into the deadly flower changing it into Kurama's signature weapon. Rose Whip I called out and with a single snap of my wrist my whip cut cut every one of the remaining demons in half before it reverted back into a seed which I placed back into my hair. Now every single demon was dead aside from the two leaders who had yet to move from their spots.

Speaking of the Minotaur and cat demons, it took a few seconds for them to register my movements but when they did their eyes widened in shock at seeing all of their subordinates cut down so easily. The cat demon Zira was the first to come out of her stupor, a large grin made its way onto her face.

"Well, Well, Well" she exclaimed excitedly. "Looks like your not just another pretty face after all are you? You've got some real skill to back up all that bit talk of yours. She said as she circled me, paws clasped behind her back while she eyed me like a piece of meat. "I'd like to apologize for my dimwitted friend here" she said as she pointed over her shoulder at the minitaur demon who growled in response. The cat demon ignored him as she continued circling around me, a circle that was getting smaller and smaller each time she completed a lap. "Such a marvelous specimen you are. So strong...so Fast...so powerful" she ceased her movements directly behind me, so close that I could feel her breath on the back of my neck.

Her arms encircled me as she pressed her body up against my back, her muzzle almost touching my ear. She squeezed me tightly not in a violent way but a lustful one as she made sure that every inch of her body made contact with mine while her paws began lightly rubbing my chest through my cloak.

"Watching you slaughter that low class trash was quite the show, such efficiency and brutality, it was quite the turn on. You really know how to get a girl in the mood" she moaned out. "Join us" she spoke softly into my ear. "Its not often a demon of your strength appears out of nowhere and falls into our lap like this.

Your a diamond in the rough and I guarantee that our master will welcome you with open arms. She won't even care that you killed her troops since you're easily worth more than a hundred of those fools. She can be very rewarding to those that are loyal to her, she can even use her magic to boost your power to heights you'd never imagine.

You'll have everything you've enjoyed dreamed of. Money, power, any female you wish, you can have all of it and then some and all you have to do is say yes, and help us complete our mission."

I stayed silent for a moment to make it seem as though I was actually thinking about her offer. "And what exactly is your mission?" I asked. Her I'm tightened around me and she pressed herself against me even more forced to before in excitement.

"To capture and break the wielders of the elements of harmony of course" she said as though she was talking about the whether. "First we seize the town, then we capture the elements of Harmony after which we proceed to break but their bodies and their minds.

I don't believe it will be very difficult to break them, judging by their general way of life is they should break after being beaten and raped a few times. And since you killed all of our soldiers and horn head over there is too big to fit inside any of them I believe that leaves you as the only candidate for the deed" she added emphasis by licking my ear.

And after they're broken physically we can break them emotionally by slaughtering the entire town in front of them" she moaned again. "Just imagine the books on their faces. It'll be even better once our reinforcements arrived and we secure the town to use as a foot hold to start our War.

Can you even imagine how demoralized the ponies will be to lose their strongest weapon before the fighting even begins? And when it does our armies will take battle after battle chipping away at any hope they might have in their hearts. We can even use the six of them as hostages if we have to."

I have to admit the plan itself is ingenious. Take out the enemies Ace in the Hole before the fighting starts, then use their prominent figures as hostages. Celestia would be desperate to get them back even if she somehow succeeded they be in no condition or mindset to use the elements. And Army to army I have to give it to the demons, while the ones I just killed were weak they still were stronger than the average Equestrian guard. The truth of the matter is, their plan will work.

"Which one do you want first?" She asked me. "I suggest the rainbow colored one from before. You gave her a bit of hope by saving her from those ogres, it'll be so exciting to watch it die she's broken. And since we won't be killing them anytime soon we can use them for our fun later.

Zira moved to my front sliding her body against mine all the way. Her arms encircled my neck, her chest and pelvis pressed against my own and our lips were only a hair apart as she gazed at me with her blood red eyes as she awaited my answer.

Figuring that I let this drag on enough I decided to end it. "I decline" I said flatly causing her to let go of me and take a step back.

"W-what?" Zira asked in surprise. "Why?" she questioned, tilting her head to accent her confusion as if she couldn't understand why anyone would refuse such an offer. Why anyone would refuse her.

I know what I wanted to say. That I wouldn't allow them to hurt the townsponies, that whatever her master's plans are I'll stop them. But I couldn't bring myself to actually say it. If I do then these ponies will think I'm some kind of hero and then they'll never leave me alone and I'll be pulled into even more crap just like this. Our eyes met as I opened my mouth to answer, they held genuine confusion, and I could actually see a bit of hurt since she's probably not use to being rejected.

"I didn't come here or interfere with your plans so that I could be some kind of hero" I stated loud enough for all to here. "I came here to see what kind of demons dared wonder so close to my territory."

"You're territory?" The Minotaur known as Renshi asked, speaking for the second time since I arrived.

"I've claimed the Everfree Forest as my own. This town is right on the edge of the forest, its practically in my territory so any demons caught trespassing here or in my forest will be killed on sight. Consider this a warning to you, you're master, and the rest of your faction to stay away or die."

A low chuckling came from Renshi as he raised an arm behind his head to grab a large axe that was three feet wide and five feet tall, it was hidden so well on his back that I almost didn't see it. He lifted it off his back and over his head before he whipped his arm forward sending the weapon hurling towards me at a rather impressive speed. A smile appeared on his muzzle as he saw me make no effort to get out of the way. A smile that disappeared a moment later when I lazily reached up and caught the giant axe with one hand.

A gasp of surprise left the mouths of Zira, Renshi, along with all the ponies watching behind me. I gave the two demons a smirk of my own as I released a wave of demon energy from my hand disintegrating the axe and their eyes widened even further. The minotaur's hands moved to the two swords hanging from his waist and they shined in the sun's light as he unsheathed them, both were Identical and about seven feet long and two feet wide which kind of fit since Renshi himself is about the size of a two story house.

With a roar he charged straight towards me with his arms over his head in an x position ready to swing when he got close enough. It only took a second for him to appear in front of me. His speed is impressive considering his size I thought as I raised one finger to intercept both blades as he swung downwards. His jaw dropped as his swords were halted by my index finger alone, he muscles bulged as he tried to force them to cut through but was met with no success.

The Minotaur ceased his attack, jumping backwards a few feet before charging again this time with his right arm above him and his left behind him waiting for the second strike. The first strike came at me from above but I simply turned my body out of the way, making him miss and carve out a ten foot gash in the ground near me. The second strike meant to cut me in halt at the waist, his left arm staying fully extended behind him swung inwards as his first attempt missed. I jumped into the air just as it was about to make contact and vanished from his view as he completed his swing, the sword in his left hand now rested above his right shoulder with me standing on top of it.

Renshi's head moved from side to side as he tried to find me, never once suspecting where I might actually be. I think that I've let this go on long enough since I'm no longer getting any more amusement out of this. I drew my own sword once more in a reverse grip, raised it above my head with both hands and drove it through the top of the demon's skull killing him instantly. He let out a grunt as his mind registered the pain of the killing blow he'd just received before his swords fell out of his hands as he dropped to his knees first before continuing to fall flat on his face. I jumped off of his head before it hit the ground and with a flick of my wrist I removed his blood from my sword before sheathing it.

The ponies in the shield behind me stand stunned at the ease of which to demonic Minotaur was dispatched with as they stared at his corpse. I snapped my head backwards dogging a swipe from Zira who up until this point had been stuck in her own thoughts. Not stopping with her missed strike she used that momentum to continue spinning and sent a kick at my face which I blocked by bringing my arms up in a cross guard, what surprised me though is that the kick had enough force to send me sliding a few feet backwards.

"So you've rejected my offer..." she spoke in a low tone, her gaze directed at the ground leaving her eyes shadowed. "So you've rejected ME!" she snarled as her head snapped up, the look of absolute rage in her eyes almost made me flinch. "I'll just have to show you why that's such a foolish decision on your part. Normally I'd simply beat you within an inch of your life before killing you slowly and painfully but but you have actually managed to impress me so I think I'll keep you alive, well just barely anyway. And when our reinforcements get here in about thirty minutes, after I've beaten you and slaughtered these pathetic ponies, we'll finally have our fun together.

I could have showed you more pleasure than you'd ever dreamed of but now you'll be nothing but my little toy. And when I'm finally bored and done with you, maybe, just maybe I'll give you one more chance to be by my side. But I suppose that will depend on just how much begging you do. Now! Shall we get started?" She asked as she finished her rant, a glint of insanity sparkling in her eyes. Not waiting for my response she unsheathed her claws, they then began to lengthen until they reached a foot.

Zira crouched down placing her for-paws on the ground with a vicious grin on her face. Her claws cut gouges in the ground as she darted straight at me with significantly more speed than a demon of her class should posses. I dogged her pounce by hopping back, her claws dug into the ground before the force of the impact created a small crater. Not stopping she immediately sprung at me with an arm above her head. I stepped to the side to avoid the strike and raised my left arm to block her followup spin-kick and my right arm above my head to block her other leg. The grin on her face grew as our eyes met and she sent one of her free front-paws at my exposed torso like a spear.

I jumped backwards to avoid the deadly thrust but I didn't expect her claws to keep extending towards me. I barley managed to move my head out of the way in time as the claws sped passed I did end up with a small cut on my left cheek. Having missed their target Zira retracted her claws as quickly as she'd extended them and smirked as she brought her paw up face before licking the claw with my blood on it. She closed her eyes as she shuddered as she seemed to revile in the taste. She licked her lips and opened her eyes with a look of absolute delight.

"That settles it" she moaned out. "You're blood is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. I'm going to keep you alive for a long time. We're going to have so much fun together!" She said excitedly before darting back at me. Left, right, up, down, right, center, left and right, her attacks came at a much faster rate than before but I dogged each of them pretty easily since I'm taking her somewhat seriously. She might be significantly weaker and slower than me but she's a lot faster than she should be, add in that her claws can actually cut me and that makes her dangerous. And don't even get me started on her flexibility, I mean its a given since she's a cat but the way she can bend and contort her body to continue her attacks is insane.

The lioness jumped backwards after a few more missed swipes with a look of annoyance on her face. "Why do you not fight? Are you afraid now that you've seen what your up against? Or are you hoping that by not putting up a fight that I'll give you another chance?" Her grin grew. "That's it isn't it? I might just consider it if you kill all of the ponies hiding in that shield behind you."

"Actually I think I've seen enough" I said getting a raised brow from the lioness. "Your deadly that's to be sure, your speed and your flexibility make you a very dangerous opponent, mix that with your cunning mind those claws of yours and I can see why you were in charge of this mission" I said and Zira smiled at my praise. "However while you are impressive for your class your still weak" I told her with a smirk. A look of rage made its way onto Zira's face as my words sunk in.

"HOW DARE YOU!" she snarled. "I'll slice you to pieces!" she yelled before she came at me even faster than the previous two times. I ducked under her swipe and kicked her through the wall of a nearby house but when the wall crumbled two young fillies came running out, they must've been too frightened to move when the others did and I completely overlooked them. The two fillies in question were a pink filly with a tiara and a grayish silver filly with glasses and a pearl necklace, they froze the moment they saw me about halfway between the me and the house they just ran out of.

The rest of the house's wall collapsed as Zira made her way out of the house, she stopped after only a few steps and looked over at the two frozen fillies before turning back to me with a wicked grin. I made my move when I saw the smallest twitch of her paw as she unsheathed her claws. I moved as fast as I could and the world blurred around me as I landed in between the young fillies and grabbed each under one arm. I looked up to see Zira only a few feet away, her arms behind her as she ran which would allow her to hit both fillies at the same time.

Zira unsheathed her claws with the smallest of twitches before taking off straight for the two young ponies with a look of glee. When she was only a few feet from her targets a black and white figure materialized between the two frightened little ponies and she smiled. The demon playing hero did exactly what she thought he would and now that his arms were occupied by holding the ponies he had no way to block as her arms swung forward cutting through his chest along with the two little girls the fool was trying to save.

Zira closded her eyes in glee at the thought of not just one but three more kills in a single strike and she reveled in her thoughts as the adrenilin pumped through her veins. But something wasn't righ, something was missing. There was no resistance as her claws met their flesh, no screams or pained grunts and even the tingling sensation she got when her victims blood ran down her claws and onto her paws wasn't there. She opened her eyes only to gasp as the mysterious demon and the two ponies still stood in front of her perfectly fine, no wounds or blood to be seen.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on the image in front of her began to fade before dissapeared completely a few seconds later. The lioness took a step back in surprise and her head darted from side to side as she searched for her missing targets. "Behind you little kitty" a monotone voice called out from behind her. She spun around to see the black-clad demon standing near the shield in the center of town about thirty feet away, the two fillies huddled behind him as he met her gaze with a bored look on his face.

"What sort of trick was that?" Zira asked him with genuine curiosity.

"Its called an After-Image and its not really a trick or a technique though it does take some practive to perfect. Its simply an illusion caused by moving so fast that it looks as if your in more than one place at a time" Hiei replied before a cocky smirk made its way onto his face. "Like this" he said as he appeard to flicker for the briefest of moments before suddenly Zira found herself completely surrounded by ten identical versions of the yound demon.

The copies faded after a few moments leaving the real one standing in the same spot he was before as if he had never moved to begin with. He was fast, much faster than her even at her top speed, and she was fast enough to rival a Class-two demon and as Zira realized what exactly that meant she began to laugh. It started as a low chuckle before transitioning into full blown laughter, it was as if she had just whitnessed the best thing ever.

The laughter died down afer a minute and she turned her attention back to him with a smile. "Someone hasn't been taking this seriously" she said in a singsong voice. "Its alright, I don't mind" she said, her smile getting bigger."The longer our little dance takes the closer my reinforcments get and the closer you get to becoming my plaything," she looked as if she could barely contain her glee at whatever thoughts were running through her head. "But that doesn't mean that we can't continue" she exclaimed as she rushed him once more.

POV Change

If she's telling the truth and there really are more demons on the way than I have to finish this up now so I have time to see what I'm dealing with. Zira practaclly flew towards me, ready to continue what she believed to be some kind of dance that the two of us were doing. This has gone on long enough and I've gotten all of the information I can out of her with the time I have. That means its time to end this so I can head the other demons off before they can reach Ponyville.

I moved my head to the left to avoid her attempt at spearing my head with her claws and brought my right arm back as I channeled my energy in the palm of my hand. Zira gasped and spat out a glob of blood as my open palm met with her exposed stomach, the hit itself wasn't too hard but then again it didn't have to be since I managed to re-create the Hyuga's gentle fist from Naruto which damages the target's internal organs by injecting pulses of energy into and through the target's body. Which means that the majority of the damage done to her is internal since I injected my own energy into her body at the time of impact shredding some of her internal organs.

Zira fell to the ground with a thud as she gasped for air. "H-How?" she gasped, spitting up more blood as she held her stomach in a vain attempts at lessening the pain.

"You said earlier about you and the Minotaur being class three demons" I spoke gaining her attention. "If the two of you are class three than judging from your power levels I can safely say that I would be considered class one." Her eyes went wide at my proclamation.

"That's impossible. Your lying" she stated with certainty. There are no demons that powerful outside of Tartarus, the barrier prevents anyone above class two from leaving and there's no way a lesser demon would have time to get that strong since the princesses keep hunting them down.

"Then I suppose I'm a special case" I told her and she spat up another glob of blood as she chuckled.

"I suppose you are...no wonder you caught my interest so quickly. I guess I wasn't strong enough" she whispered softly to herself before she out one more grunt and gasp before she lost consciousness and her breathing stopped. It was a rather anticlimactic end but a necessary one to keep the town safe especially if there are more demons on the way.

I made my way past a horde of grateful ponies before stopping in front of Rarity who was busy tending to the still unconscious Twilight Sparkle. "How bad is it?" I asked the white and purple mare as she ceased her actions to look up at me with tears in her eyes.

"Bad doesn't even begin to describe it darling" she said in a depressed tone, the tears in her eyes threatening to fall any moment. "I'm no medic but from what I can tell she has a few minor fractures and a multitude of cuts and bruises but those can be healed relatively easily it's her horn that's the real problem.I turned my attention to the appendage in question to see a rather sever crack traveling down the side of twilight's horn.

"Even a tiny crack takes an expert to repair and are incredibly difficult to do so, so much so that there are only two ponies in all of Equestria that are qualified, but I've never heard of anything even close to this being healed successfully. Magic is everything to Twilight" she whispered, looking down at the purple mare, "its who she is, and if she loses that part of her I honestly don't know If she'll ever recover."

I was hoping to keep the sensu beans a secret as long as I could but It looks like I don't have much of a choice, she's too important. Reaching into my utility-belt I pulled out five dried out beans and held one up to Rarity who looked at me questioningly. "These beans are extremely rare and have incredible healing properties, if there's anything that'll heal her its this" I told the fashionista, her demeanor perking up almost instantly. "Can you use you're magic to make her chew it?" She nodded and the bean was encased in a blue magical aura and lifted out of my hand and made its way into Twilight's mouth before the aura moved to the unconscious pony's jaw, helping her to chew it.

The Results were Instant. Twilight's entire body tensed for a moment before her muscles bulged and the wounds that covered her faded away as if they were never there to begin with, including her horn which was now as good as new. Rarity was ecstatic at her friends miraculous recovery. "That's absolutely amazing!" she exclaimed. "I've never seen anything like it before, something like this could revolutionize the medical industry!" I decided to stop her there before she got carried away.

"Unfortunately like I said they're extremely rare and hard to grow, even in the right conditions only so many can be grown at a time" I told her. Rarity's smile dropped for a second but came back after she took another glance at the newly healed Twilight.

"Oh-well than I suppose its just a good thing that you had any at all" she said before looking around at some of her friends. "You wouldn't happen to have any more on you at the moment would you?" she asked turning back to me, it looks like there's a few others that are in pretty bad shape."

Opening my hand I showed her the remaining sensu beans. "I have four left" I told her. "The two surviving guards can share one since it doesn't look like their lives are in any danger at the moment, the effects will be lessened but most of their wounds will be healed." Her lips twitched the tiniest bit but because of my Jegan I can tell that she's disappointed that I don't have anymore on me since the bruise on her cheek does look rather painful.

"Here" I said, gaining her attention. "You won't need one of these for something as simple as that" I told her before I reached out and gently cupped the side of her face that held the bruise.

Rarity flinched but she didn't pull away. "What are you-OH!" she interrupted herself by taking a deep breath as I channeled my spirit energy through my hand and into her cheek using Genkai's spirit wave technique to heal the damage. It only took a minute to finish but somewhere during that time Rarity had closed her eyes and started to nuzzle my hand. The blue glow died down and I pulled my hand away from the mare's face which was now flawless once again. Her eyes fluttered open and she lifted a hoof to her cheek then let out a sign of relief.

"Thank you darling, while I know it wasn't as bad as Twilight or any of the others It did hurt quite a lot" she stated gratfully to which I simply nodded in response. With Rarity taken care of I went around to each of her friends, giving them each one of the remaining sensu beans leaving them unconscious but fully healed. Mading my back to Rarity a few minutes later I notice that she's talking to a now conscious Twilight Sparkle who smiled a small tired but grateful smile when she noticed me.

"I guess we owe you another thank you" she said as I arrived near the two unicorns. "I have so many questions. I don't suppose you'll stick around this time?" questioned the purple unicorn.

"Don't thank me yet, its not over" I told them and their eyes widened.

"Beg your pardon but, what do you mean its not over?" Rarity asked fearfully, Twilight nodded in agreement.

"They have reinforcements on the way, the lioness-demon told me during the fight. I thought she might have been lying at first but I can sense them now, their coming from the East and they'll be here in about fifteen minutes, two-hundred of them all around the same power of the Minotaur and the lioness." I answered as they both lost a bit of their color.

"Two-Hundred?!!!" "Fifteen minutes?!!!" Rarity and Twilight shouted simultaneously. "That's not enough time to evacuate everypony, or to fortify the town, or even to get everypony to the shelter" she listed off, trying to make a plan to fit the time limit. Just as I opened my mouth to tell her that a shelter would be useless and that I would take care of it I sensed a large power flare up behind me. I spun around to see who was responsible for the power surge only to be blasted from above by a beam of golden energy that sent me into the ground back first.

I stopped skidding after about thirty feet or so and pulled myself out of the two-foot deep trench that now existed in the middle of town only to come face to face with the last two ponies that I wanted to deal with right now as they stood protectively in front of Twilight and Rarity, their wings spread, their heads down, and their horns were ablaze with raw magical power as a. Celestia and Luna had arrived.

Author's Note

• Things are about to get good, the princesses are here and the demons are coming.
• And yes the lion demon is basically a semi-anthro form of Zira from Lion King 2.
• I'm also toying around with an idea for another story about a guy that wakes up in Equestria as a Mew and he abuses the transformation ability to be a few different Pokemon throughout the story.
