Depressed in Equis

As expected I was immediately surrounded by the guards, who all pointed their weapons at me. I could see that the main six were shocked at how crass I was while Celestia and Luna were both blushing for different reasons.

"Can you two tell your guards to calm down? I really don't want to have to injure them." I said while putting my hands on my swords. I had a smirk on my face the entire time that screamed confidence. This smirk actually caused two of the guards to back up a little in fear just as Celestia and Luna regained their composure.

"Stand down. This being is not hostile to us at the moment and I would like to keep it that way." Celestia said while keeping her stoic demeanor, causing me to groan as the guards went back to protecting the princesses.

"You know you can just act like a normal pony while you're around me, right? I'm gonna treat you the same way that I would treat anyone else. Mainly because I don't care about who you are. How I treat you is going to depend on your personality and your actions." I said while stroking my beard and thinking that it could use a trim.

Celestia and Luna looked surprised that I would treat them like a normal pony, while the others looked both shocked and angry that I wasn't going to treat the princesses like my betters. Of course Rainbow was the first to act as she immediately flew up into my face.

"I get that you're cool and all, but why are you disrespecting the princesses?" Rainbow asked angrily before I just laughed causing her to look shocked, as I was laughing like a maniac. The others looked concerned until I calmed down.

"Oh that was a great joke Rainbow. Ya see I was being respectful to Tia and Lulu. I just refuse to treat them differently because of who they are or what they are. If I know of a mistake that they made, which they have made plenty, then I will tell them that they have made a mistake. The biggest one that I can think of is that they didn't kill Tirek. I mean they can't reform him and all he wants is to take all of the magic on Equis, yet they just locked him up in Tartarus. That is a huge mistake because he will escape at some point in time. Now of course I won't fuck up the timeline by saying when. If I did everything could go wrong and nothing would happen the way it's supposed to. But enough of that. I met someone while I was here that you all might be familiar with." I said while smirking as they were a mixture of anger and confusion as well as curiosity.

"Who is this pony that we would be familiar with?" Celestia asked calmly as my smile grew. Everyone was starting to get slightly worried at how I was smiling as I took several steps away from them.

"I call her Nighty, but you all probably know her as Nightmare Moon." I said before dodging to the left as two beams of magic had been fired at my head. I just smirked as I saw that everyone was now either afraid of me or pissed at me.

"How dare thee talk to that vile demon?! We will imprison thee in the dungeon for that!" Luna shouted as I held my hands up.

"First of all that attack would've killed me, second of all you're idiots for how you treated Nighty and third of all you really need to understand that the dark is neither good nor evil. This is another mistake that was made by the infallible princesses. They don't think as much as they should. They leap headfirst into situations before thinking things through and their go to solution is to just throw the elements at whatever the problem is. Nighty just wanted to help Luna and she admits that she went about it the wrong way. She just wanted to help her host in whatever way she could. That is why I am her new host. She needed a host and she can no doubt help increase my magical power and the amount of magic that can be stored inside my body, so it's a mutual relationship. Oh and she sobbed and apologized to me upon seeing my memories. That should tell you something. Of course if you want to imprison me then go ahead. I'll just wait for one of the big enemies that can rival both Lulu and Tia to show up and then escape during all of the chaos. Speaking of chaos I need to have a little chat with Discord. You still have him in the Canterlot Gardens, right?" I said while casually fighting back against the guards that had started to attack me when I revealed that I was hosting Nighty.

"Why should I tell you anything?" Celestia asked with a snarl on her face as her and Luna were charging up a spell.

"I mean I was going to make a deal with Discord that he couldn't win, so that when he escapes he can't look into my mind and figure out how the elements will beat him. After all that could be disastrous. I'm trying to think about all of Equis here as well as how to keep all of Equis safe. It's a full time job that I wish I didn't have to do, but if I don't you'll just wait for the problem to become a problem to Equestria before you actually see it as a problem. Now can we please stop fighting? I would much rather not become a criminal because I killed a group of guards in self defense." I said before finally getting annoyed by the guards and bashing them each in the head with the hilt of one of my swords, thus rendering them unconscious as I relaxed a little.

Celestia and Luna looked both hesitant and worried about the fact that I openly admitted to being Night's host. The main six were a combination of scared, angry and shocked. Applejack was the one that was shocked, since I hadn't lied in my entire tirade. Of course I took advantage of this.

"Hey AJ. Go ahead and tell them the real kicker about what I just said." I said with a smirk as Applejack shakily nodded her head.

"He...he ain't lying y'all. He ain't said nothing but the truth." Applejack said with a bit of fear in her voice as everyone, including the princesses, looked shocked while I smirked before leaning against the wall.

"Check and mate." I said while making the motion of moving a chess piece.
