Chapter 1: The Demon King in the land of ponies
I let out a content sigh as I looked in the mirror observing my cosplay for the local convention Senshi Con. I had a few choices for what I would dress up as but in the end I decided to go as Shiki Granbell also known as the Demon King from Eden’s Zero.
“I think this came out well.” I think tugging a bit on the jacket.
The outfit consists of a white shirt with a red trim on the collar and a red T design in the middle, a short sleeved red jacket over top with a gray trim on the edge of the sleeves and the edge of the jacket leading into two gray tails that hung off my shoulders. A pair of army green pants with a pair of knee length black combat boots.
The outfit had taken a few weeks to make but the end result was worth it, I grabbed the Wig that went with it and put it in the backpack beside me, grabbed a quick bite to eat and go on my Motorcycle making sure my bag was secured well before starting the engine and taking off.
‘This feels nice.’ I think to myself as I feel the wind blowing by as I drive on the high way, the tails on the collar of the jacket flapping in the breeze. After 45 Minutes I manage to make it to the convention and securely park my Bike. I grabbed my wig and stored my backpack in a lock box on the bag of the bike.
I adjusted the wig after I managed to get through the security check at the door after a few minutes.
“Wow.” I muttered to myself looking around at all the cosplayers and booths, this was my first ever Convention in my life so I was feeling a bit of hype.
I spent the next hour wandering the various showcases and booths, stopping once to get a drink before I spotted a strange booth that seemed to speak to me.
It was a covered booth in the corner of the room that I noticed no one else seemed to look at despite how erie it looked.
I walked up to the booth despite the strange erie deja vu-esk feeling I had in the back of my head.
“Welcome young child.” The man running the booth said.
When I got closer I say the booth owner was a short man dressed in a moogle costume from Final Fantasy wearing an Organization XIII coat on top of it.
“Nice costume, it fits you well.” I comment to the merchant as I look over his wares, he had several different things from various media like a Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts, Captain America’s Shield, What I think was Alcuard’s Pistols and so many others.
“I see that you are dressed as Shiki Granbell from the new Eden’s Zero Manga.” The Merchant points out.
I nodded, “Yeah I was somewhat planning to go as Rogue Cheney but In the end I decided to go as someone less known.” I replied seeing no harm in it.
The Merchant nods making the pom on top of the head bobble a bit, “I see, hmm give me a second I might have something for you.” he says hopping off the table and digging under it.
I raised a curious eyebrow as what he was doing.
“Here it is.” The Merchant says holding a small rectangle box, putting it on the table and getting on his stool again.
“What is that?” I asked looking at the box.
The merchant opens the Box revealing two long gloves that were see through and light green designs on it, “I had these made based on Shiki Granbells Gravity Ether Gear a while back.” he tells me.
“Made...wait you made all this.” I said looking at all the products.
The merchant nods, “Indeed I did, its sort of my job.” He tells me.
“Wow.” I commented looking again at all the high quality products.
The merchant pushed the Gravity Ether Gear, “What do you say would you like this to go with you costume?”
“How much would it be?” I asked.
“With all of it’s material costs it would come out to be $50.” The merchant tells me.
“Make it $40 and we’ll have a deal.” I counter offered.
“$45.” The Merchant counter offered.
“Deal.” I say slapping down two twenties and a five.
“Pleasure doing Business with you.” The merchant says with a grin in his voice.
I pulled on the two Ether Gear gloves, pulling on them so they were snuggly fit. I flexed my fingers a bit getting used to the feeling.
“Thank you for your purchase, I hope you enjoy your new life.” The Merchant says.
“My new life what do you…” I start to ask before a giant pool of darkness opens below me and I fall into it like a rock and black out.
-----EZMLP-----
I let out a grunt as I twitched my arm my eyes fluttering a few times trying to get used to the darkness.
“Where am I?” I muttered to myself, “HELLO?!” I yelled out as it echoed endlessly in the distance. “Ow.” I muttered as I ran into the wall which was made of a reflective surface.
“What happened I bought those Ether Gear gloves from that merchant then I ended up here?” I think tugging on my wig to take it off… “OWW!” I wince in pain as I pulled on actual hair not a wig, “What is going on here, first I end up in this weird cave and now my hair has changed.” I comment to myself as I decided the first thing I should do would be to get out of this cave and decided to walk in a random direction hoping I find an entrance or at least someone, making sure to keep my hand on the wall.
“What’s That?!” I mutter to myself hearing a cruel taunting laughter in the far distance and I decided to run towards the sound, occasionally hearing a zapping sound followed by a loud bang.
I turned the corner and saw a surprising sight I saw two ponies hugging each other one was a purple unicorn with a star mark on her flank and the other was a pink unicorn pegasus hybrid known as an Alicorn with a Crystal Heart on her flank.
‘PRINCESS CADENCE AND THE NOT YET PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE’ I mentally screamed in my mind wondering how two fictional characters from My Little Pony were right in front of me as living and breathing creatures.
Cadence took notice of me and pushes Twilight behind her protectively glaring fiercely at me her horn sparking angrily.
“So you came to finish us of Changeling, but your disguise makes it obvious what you are.” Cadence spits out.
“Changeling...Disguise.” I asked looking at myself wondering what she meant before it clicked, I still looked Human so I was out of place in this world, “No wait I’m not… Eep!”
Cadence had fired her magic at me
A whirring sound was heard as lines appeared on my arms and I felt myself shoot towards the ceiling of the cavern landing on my feet, “Look I promise that I’m not a Whatchamaling you said I was earlier.” I say calmly.
“How did you do that?” Twilight asks in awe that I’m sticking to the ceiling.
“Oh this is my Ether Gear.” I tell Twilight.
“Ether Gear?” Twilight asks I can see her eyes shining with intrigue.
I looked at Cadence, “We okay.” I asked her.
Cadence looked at me with searching eyes before she nods.
I deactivated the Ether Gear and dropped down to the ground.
Cadence comes up to me and bows apologetically, “Please forgive my actions, I am Princess Mi Amore Cadenza please call me Cadence.
I took a moment to look over Cadence’s state noticing her bruised body, “Apology Accepted Cadence Hime, I can tell you’ve been having a rough time recently so you obviously reacted to protect someone important to you.” I tell her.
“You mean Somepony?” Cadence asks.
I nodded in return before blinking in surprise as Twilight gets in my face.
“WhoareyouWhatSpeciesareyou,Wheredidyoucomefrom, Howdidyousticktotheceiling, WhydidyoucallCadenceHime.” Twilight rapid fires out in a single breath, before taking a breath, “Oh and I am Twilight Sparkle.” she introduces.
I smiled, “Pleasure you two I am Shiki Granbell call me Shiki.” I introduce myself as the Character I was playing yet seemed to be living now, “I am what is known as a Ningen.” I tell Twilight
“Ningen?” Twilight asks.
I nod going to explain as a cruel laughter echoed through the cave.
“We have to get out of here.” Twilight says before looking at me, “Will you come with us to help stop her and meet Princess Celestia I’m sure she would be interested in meeting you.” she asks me.
I nodded, “I may now know what’s going on.” A complete Lie I knew what was going on thanks to being a bronie and having seen the show, “But I consider you two my Nakama so your troubles are my troubles so Twilight Sparkle Mi Amore Cadenza let’s go.” I say as we all took off into the cave.
As we were running through the cave Cadence began to sing This Day Aria in the back of my head I could almost hear Chrysalis's side of the song before we reached a MineCart.
Cadence trys to push the Cart with her strength but in her weakened State it’s not enough, Twilight uses her Magic to lift the stones out and put Cadence in side as I help her push the Cart tapping into the Gravity Power of my Ether Gear to make the Card move as the three of us were sent hurtling down a spiral deeper into the caverns before hitting a sudden spot sending up flying through the air.
Twilight grabbed onto Cadence as the Alicorn flew through the Air, while I grabbed onto Twilight’s Leg quickly using the Ether Gear to reduce my weight to near nothing, thinking about it I wasn’t sure why I was able to use the Gravity Ether Gear so well perhaps it was in innate instinct eventually the three of us landed on a small rocky alcove blocked by a bunch of rocks.
“Oh no it’s a dead end.” Cadence says in panic pushing on the wall.
In the distance above I could hear the faint voice of Celestia speaking of the wedding ceremony.
“Oh, we’re never going to save him.” Cadence says in despair.
“We will we just have to find…” Twilight says looking for another way.
I joined beside her and looked as well, “Up there!” I said pointing at the light shining down.
“Good Eye Shiki!” Twilight compliments me.
I felt myself enveloped my a magenta aura before finding myself along with Cadence and Twilight on the upper part of the cavern.
“Woah that was interesting.” I comment.
“You’re not going anywhere” I looked up the see Lyra Heartstrings, Minuette, and Twinkleshine walking towards us with Glowing Green eyes speaking in a Zombie like tone walking towards us.
Twilight and Cadence walked backwards reaching the edge of the cliff.
“What do we do?” Twilight asks.
“If only my Bouquet hadn’t of been destroyed maybe we could have used that as a distraction.” Cadence laments.
So unlike in the series Cadence didn’t have her flowers which meant I had to so something,
“Hang on!” I say wrapping my arm around Twilight and Cadence.
“What are you.” Twilight says in surprise as I powered up the Ether Gear and leapt over the Bridesmaids and shifted gravity so we fell forward and flew out of the cave.
“Wow how did you fly without wings.” Twilight asks after we exit the cave.
“Explanation later obviously we need to take care of this issue first.” I tell her.
“Right.” Twilight nods as well as Cadence as the three of us ran towards the wedding would be taking place.
‘Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, it is my great please to pronounce you…” We hear the tail end of Celestia’s speech.
“STOP!” Twilight yelled out.
The crowed of Ponies were muttering and I even say Rarity facehoof.
“Ugh, Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother?” Chrysalis-Cadence huffed out stomping her hoof.
Celestia looked as the Cadence next to her in surprise.
“Why does she have to ruin my Special Day?” Chrysalis-Cadence says trying to correct her mistake.
“Because it’s not YOUR Special day it’s MINE!” Cadence says walking into the wedding hall.
Everypony gasped seeing another Cadence, I was leaning on a pillar outside the wedding hall so I was able to see but not be seen.
“What, but how did you escape my bridesmaids?” Chrysalis-Cadence asked.
“They had help from me.” I say walking in getting more gasps from everyone including Chrysalis.
“What in tarnation is that thing?” I hear Applejack comment.
“Oh that Outfit.” Rarity obviously had said that.
I gave a small wave, “Hello I’m Shiki Granbell.” I say with a grin
“Hmph even if you managed to find a bizarre looking creature to help you escape the caves you’re still too late.” Chrysalis-Cadence taunts us.
“I don’t understand, how can there be two of them?” Applejack asks referring to the Two Cadences.
“She’s a changeling, she takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!” Cadence reveals to everyone else.
Chrysalis's eyes glow green in rage before her body in enveloped in an emerald green flame tearing away her disguise revealing her true bug like form.
“Right you are, Princess.” Chrysalis says with an evil laugh, “And as Queen of the Changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects.”
Cadence gave Chrysalis a glare I walked up and stood beside her protectively.
“Equestria has more love then anyplace I’ve ever encountered my fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!.” Chrysalis says descending down the steps from the alter stopping in front of Cadence.
“They’ll never get the chance, Shining Armor’s protection spell will keep them from even reaching us.” Cadence snaps at the being who had imprisoned her.
“Oh, I doubt that.” Chrysalis says with an amused snicker, “Isn’t that right, Dear?” she asks Shining Armor mockingly in front of Cadence.
“Mmm Hmm.” Shining Armor says with a blank nod.
Cadence tries to run up to her fiance but is stopped by Chrysalis.
“Ah, Ah, Ah don’t wanna go back to the caves now, do you?” Chrysalis threatens Cadence her horn glowing menacingly.
Cadence took a wary step back.
“Ever since I took your place, I’ve been feeding off Shining Armor’s love for you every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell, even now my minions are chipping away at it.” Chrysalis says flying up to the altar and walking behind Shining Armor.
Everypony looked up at the roof in horror at the thought of an army just outside.
“He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now.” Chrysalis says rubbing Shining Armor’s Muzzle.
Twilight and Cadence gasped in shock while I clenched my fist activating the Gravity Gear in preparation for the upcoming outbreak.
“And I’m sorry to say unable to perform his duties as Captain of the Royal Guard.” Crysalsi mocks.
“Not my Shining Armor!” Cadence says in horror.
I rested my hand on Cadence’s back in a comforting pat, “Don’t Worry we’ll save him.” I tell her.
Cadence looks me in the eyes and seeing my serious gaze nods in thanks.
Chrysalis laughs, “You think you will be able to save this Pony, soon my changeling Army will break through first we take Canterlot and then all of Equestria.”
“No you won’t.” Celestia interrupts walking forward anger in her eyes, “You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you.” she says butting horns with Chrysalis before flying up unleashing a powerful beam of energy.
Chrysalis counters with a Green beam that goes back and forth for a moment before it overwhelms Celestia knocking her crown off and her down.
Without consciously meaning to I dashed forward and caught Celestia as she fell and we were both knocked down my body cushioning her fall.
“Princess Celestia!” Twilight yells in horror as she and the other Mane 6 ran over.
“Ah Shining Armor’s love for you is even stronger than I thought consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia.” Chrysalis comments.
“Princess Celestia are you Okay.” Twilight says resting her hands on her Mentor.
“The Elements of Harmony you must get them and use their power to defeat the queen.” Celestia says weakly.
The Mane 6 nods before running off.
“Shiki Granbell.” Celestia addresses me.
“Yes?” I asked looking at Celestia
“I know I don’t have the right to ask this, but would you please go along with Twilight Sparkle and the other Elements of Harmony and keep them safe while they fulfill their task.” Celestia requests of me.
I smiled, “You only have to ask.” I say running after the Elements.
“You can run but you can’t hide!” Chrysalis laughs behind us.
I caught up with the others just as the barrier collapsed and the army invaded.
“Go! Go!” Twilight urges the others as a group of Changelings dive bombs us.
We ducked and weaved between the missiles as Twilight kicks one that lands in front of us, soon we ascended some stairs to see a bunch waiting for us.
“Looks like we’re gonna have to do this the hard way!” Rainbow Dash said hitting her hoofs together rushing forward only to meet a doppelganger of herself before getting hit back.
“How did you..” Rainbow Dash asked before all of the Changelings turned into copies of the Seven of us.
“They’re changelings, Remember?” Twilight reminded Rainbow.
“They’re Changelings, Remember?” All of the Twilight Changelings said at once.
“Don’t let them Distract you we have to get the Elements of Harmony they’re our only hope.” Twilight says crouching down as the other Mane 6 do as well before launching themselves at the Changelings.
A dense gray orb appeared around my right fist, “Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist” I called out Punching one of my doppelganger’s with a gravity infused fist sending it flying. I saw Fluttershy trick a few of her doppelgangers into thinking she was one of them, before she got cornered by several Rainbow Dash copies but luckily one of them was the real one.
I kicked back an AppleJack copy that jumped me.
“Okay, this is just getting weird!” Applejack comments as a Changeling she thought was Twilight exposed itself.
Luckily it seemed none of the Changelings could mimic my Gravity Attacks so my copies went down easily.
Soon Pinkie Grabbed Twilight and began to Fire Magic beams at the Changelings and eventually the swarm attacking us was defeated.
“Come on!” I yelled out noticing the swarm reinforcements descending on us as we all ran into the Castle.
“Uh oh..” Twilight gulps as inside the castle there was an even greater Swarm waiting for us we were surrounded on all sides..
I let my Ether Gear power down, I could probably have fought the swarm but against this many it would be foolish and somepony would no doubt get hurt, no for now the best bet would be to bide my time and wait.
The changelings forcefully escorted us back to the Wedding Hall.
“You won’t get away with this Twilight and her Friends will…” Cadence says before the Seven of us were lead into the Room.
“You were saying?” Chrysalis mocks Cadence before looking at us, “You do realize the receptions been cancelled, Don’t you?” she taunts us, “Go feed!” she orders her subjects before sealing the door.
“It’s funny, really Twilight here was suspicious of my behaviour all along to bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those Suspicions were correct.” Chrysalis mocks the other Mane 6.
“Sorry, Twi we should’ve listened to you.” Applejack comes up to Twilight apologizing.
“It’s not your fault, she fooled Everypony.” Twilight tells Applejack.
“Mm I did, Didn’t I?” Chrysalis brags before going to the Window and starting to Sing This Day Aria again.
“What is it with Singing in this place?” I muttered to myself, sure they sung in the show but I didn’t think they actually did it.
“Twilight.” I whispered to her.
“What?!” Twilight says looking at me.
“When I give the sign you go free Cadence she’s our only hope to defeat Chrysalis.” I tell her.
“But How, Cadence isn’t up to Full strength and Chrysalis easily defeated Celestia.” Twilight points out.
I pointing at Shining Armor, “Cadence won’t fight Chrysalis she will use her Love for Shining Armor to defeat her.
“But These Changelings Feed off Love.” Apple Jack points out.
“My body is 60 Percent Water and yet I can still down.” I tell them.
“What the Hay does that mean?!” Rainbow dash questions.
“Of Course even though the Changelings feed off Love if we overwhelm them with to much Love they won’t be able to handle it.” Twilight says in realization.
I nodded, “Exactly.” I said activating the Ether Gear again “Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist!” I said slugging Chrysalis sending her flying through the room into a pillar.
“How dare you attack your queen!” Chrysalis says firing a magic attack at me.
I shifted Gravity Flipping through the air landing on the Ceiling Looking at her.
“Clever little Monkey.” Chrysalis says more energy beams at me with I avoided by nimbly jumping and flipping around.
“Magimech Attack: Gravity Comet!” I say increasing gravity on my feet so I shot down fast to the ground dealing heavy damage to Chrysalis.
Chrysalis was woozy a bit from the blunt impact.
From the corner of my eye Twilight crawled over to Cadence and freed her, “Quick go to him while you still have the chance.”
I landed on the ground, “Magimech Attack: Gravity Cannon!” I called out focusing energy in my right hand throwing the condensed Gravity orb at Chrysalis the forced sending her into the Wall.
“What are you!” Chrysalis says looking at me breathing heavily.
I crouched down a little getting ready to attack, “Just a guy protecting his Nakama.” I said before there was a flash of light.
“Wha-where is the wedding over?” Shining Armor asks coming out of his Haze.
It's all over!” Chrysalis says glaring at the freed Captain of the Guard.
“Your Spell, perform your Spell!” Twilight urges the Royal Couple
“What good would that do my changelings already roam free.” Chrysalis laughs.
“No!” Shining Armor says in horror before trying to cast his spell but fails “My power is useless now, I don’t have the strength to repel them.” he laments.
.”SHINING ARMOR!” I yell out getting the attention of Everypony in the room.
“What..Who are you?” Shining Armor says looking at me.
“You can do it, Twilight and Cadence no doubt have faith in you and if they have faith you can succeed than I believe in you as well.” I tell him.
“Shiki is right I believe in you B.B.B.F.F.” Twilight encourages her brother.
“My love will give you strength!” Cadence says embracing Shining Armor.
“What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous statement!” Chrysalis laughs mockingly.
Shining Armor tries to fire up his Spell as he and Cadence embrace their horns touching as energy flows from Cadence and into Shining Armor.
The Mane Six look in awe as the couple float us.
Chrysalis Looks over as seems what’s happening, “NO!” She yells out flying to stop the energy.
“Oh no you don’t!” I yell at her, “Magimech Attack: GravityWave!” I yell out slamming my hand on the ground creating a vacuum of Gravity that Pulls Chrysalis towards me as well as the Mane six.
“No...No….” Chrysalis says trying to resist the Pull to stop the Couple’s attack before the magic energy bursts, “NOOO!!” she screams as she is sent flying as I turn off the Ether Gear the blast surging through the city sending every changeling flying.
Cadence and Shining Armor landed, both looking fully healed and back to normal.
Twilight ran up to Princess Celestia.
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.” Celestia reassures her student before looking at me, “And you Shiki Ganbell.
I gave a bow, “Yes Celestia Hime?” I asked her.
“Hey Show some respect to our Princess, you should address her as Princess Celestia not call her Hime!” Rainbow Dash yells at me.
I snorted before letting out at amused laugh
“Well I fail to see how being proper is a laughing matter.” Rarity says in her high class tone.
I put up my hand, “Sorry Sorry, I just find it amusing because Hime means Princess so Rainbow there scolded my to Call Princess Celestia as Princess Celestia when I did call her Princess Celestia.” I said amused.
“So that’s what you meant when you called me Cadence Hime back in the Caves.” Cadence says in realization
“How did you know my name?!” Rainbow Dash says glaring at me.
“Easy now Sugar Cube.” Applejack tells Rainbow Dack.
“Wow your name is Rainbow, honestly I was just calling you that because of your Mane’s Rainbow Coloring.” I told her.
Rainbow dash smirks, “I see you know coolness when you see it, for a strange creature like you are pretty interesting.
“Indeed I would like to talk to you more Shiki Granbell but first we have a real wedding to put together.” Celestia says
After all the wedding preparations were all done, Cadence seemed to be having fun as she did so even dancing beside Pinkie Pie the second wedding began I was standing behind Shining Armor having been given as Spot as a Groomsmen...or would it be groomspony in this case, I did stand out because of my outfit though.
Twilight used her Magic to adjust the medal on her brothers uniform a bit and straighten it out.
Soon the bird chorus kicked up and the doors opened and the Cutie Mark Crusaders trotted in acting as the Flower Fillies for the wedding and laying down a path of Flowers in front of Cadence who walked in with some birds carrying the hem of her wedding dress.
“Seriously though, I get why the queen of the changelings wanted to be with you but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadence to Marry You? Twilight asked her brother.
“I told her she wouldn’t just be gaining a husband, she’d be getting a pretty great sister too.” Shining Armor tells her.
“Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered her today to celebrate the Union of the REal Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.” Celestia says beginning the Ceremony once Cadence reached the altar.
“Princess Cadence is Fine.” Cadence politely interrupts.
Princess Celestia nods, “The Union of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.” the Sun Princess corrects herself, “The strength of their commitment is clear, the power of their love undeniable.” she says as Cadence and Shining Armor look lovingly into each other’s eyes.
“May we have the rings please?” Celestia requests of Spike who holds out the pillow containing the rings, “I now pronounce you Mare and Colt.” she says levitating the rings onto the horns of the couple.
The newly weds walked onto the balcony to wave at the ponies of Canterlot.
“This is your victory as much as there's you persisted in the face of doubt and your actions led to your being able to bring the real Princess Cadence back to us, learning to trust your instincts is a valuable lesson to learn .” Celestia tells Twilight.
Cadence and Shining Armor shared a kiss.
“Rainbow Dash, That’s your Cue.” Celestia stage whispered to the Element of Loyalty.
Rainbow Dash took off like a rocket exploding in a collage of collar before arching back around leaving a Rainbow trail over the Castle.
“BEST WEDDING EVER!” I faintly hear Rainbow Dash yell.
Soon we had all moved to the courtyard the Royal Couple happily embracing each other.
“Hello Every Pony.” Princess Luna says flying down to us.
I felt my face flush a bit seeing the Princess of the Night.
“Did I miss any… oh who is this?” Luna says seeing me.
“I;m Shiki Granbell.” I introduced myself.
“We art pleased to meet you Shiki Granbell We are Luna Princess of the Night, where dost thou hail from?” Luna asks us.
“Indeed I would quite like to know as well be for now let us enjoy the wedding.” Celestia comments.
“Let’s get this Party Started!” Pinkie Pie says as Vinyl kicks it off.
I had a blast dancing around with everyone as the Party went on before the Royal Couple went up to the carriage.
“Twilight, none of this would’ve been possible without you, little sis, Love ya, Twilight.” Shining Armor tells his sister.
“Love you too, B.B.B.F.F.” Twilight says embracing her brother before he gets into the carriage, soon the bouquet comes flying out.
“It’s Mine!” Rarity says feraly pushing the other Mares around her away and grabbing the bouquet getting glares causing her to laugh sheepishly.
“Now this was a great wedding.” Twilight says watching her brother and sister-in law ride away.
“Indeed it was.” I said coming up beside Twilight.
“Oh yeah, just wait until you see what I have planned for the Bachelor Party.” Spike says riding on my Shoulders.
Everyone of us laughed at that statement.
“What’s so Funny.” Spike asks.
“Spike, the bachelor party happens before the wedding.” Twilight tells her number one assistant.
“Aww come on.” Spike pouts.
“Don’t worry Spike I’m sure next time you will be able to throw one.” I tell him.
“Thank’s Shiki.” Spike tells me.
“Shiki Granbell.” Celetia says walking up to us alongside Luna.
“Hello Celestia Hime, Luna Hime.” I greet the Princesses.
“Hime?” Luna asks confused.
“It means Princess apparently.” Twilight tells the Princess of the night.
Luna nods, “I see we do like the sound of this Hime title” Luna says after some thought.
“Shiki Granbell, as one the Princess of Equestria I thank you for helping us in our time of need against the Changeling Invasion as well as safely escorting Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadence out of the Caves.” Celestia addresses me.
“No need for thanks Twilights my friend I didn’t need a reason to help beyond that.” I tell the Princess.
“Friend, you consider me you friend already.” Twilight says in surprise.
I smiled giving her a thumbs up.
“How ever I have never seen a creature like you and you have strange powers Shiki Granbell while you have earned my trust as a friend of Equestria there is also as many unknowns.” Celestia says looking at me.
“Princess Celestia” Twilight said in objection before I put my hand in front of her, “Shiki?” Twilight asks.
“I understand your Concerns Celestia Hime, I will do my best to address any and all of them” I tell her.
“Thank you Shiki that is all I ask, would you all please Follow me to the Throne Room so we can have a more private chat.” Celestia says leading the way as The Mane 6, Princess Luna, Spike and I all followed the Princess of the Sun.
It seemed like my new life as the Demon King in Equestria was just beginning.
