Chapters The Mission
"Strike them down brothers let none of these demonic filth touch the gates!" I shouted as I quickly thrust my spear into the hearts of many
"It's the angel of war we have a fighting chance!" An angel shouted. I jumped off of my horse and leaped into the fray slicing through the throats of many demons the demonic blood splashing on my armor.
"This is pathetic you send an ambush but you can barley fight!" I shouted grabbing my spear and throwing it at a demonic archer. He fired an arrow of hell fire at an angel hitting him in the head causing him to fall to the ground.His face turned to that of despair as he saw a demonic berserker coming his way. He quickly slashed at the beast before his head was ripped off by a demonic berserker. White blood gushing out of the wound as his body vanished.
"You Demonic filth will pay!" I shouted running into a group of demons stabbing one in the heart I ripped him off and threw him at one of his friends. A demon came from behind and stabbed me in the back of the leg causing me to drop to the ground. My steed came and trampled the demons that were swarming over me.
"Master are you ok?" My steed asked as demonic blood rushed into our eyes.
"I'm fine just a lucky shot." I said ripping the knife out and throwing it into the head of a demon who tried to jump onto my horse.
I mounted back on my horse seeing another volley of demons coming to charge through. I quickly jumped off my horse and attacked a demonic hell beast. He slammed me into the wall catching onto my ambush. I looked up seeing him jump into the air. I quickly rolled out of the way and jabbed my spear into his underbelly causing black blood to drip onto my weapon. He pulled him self lose and picked me up he punched me in the face a few times before he threw me again. I had enough and used one of my weapons abilities causing a black smoke to follow it making my attacks faster. My strength even increased making me immune to pain for a few minutes. It's almost like what humans have an adrenaline rush. I jumped onto the demons back and slit his throat, he was still moving and manged to grab me and roar into my face before I stabbed him in the eye causing him to scream in pain.
"Get him!" A demon commander yelled pointing at me. I quickly jumped at the demon commander and tackled him down a few of his back bones cracking.
"Pathetic and you call your self a commander." I told him as I thrust his spear into his dark demonic heart.
"You...." He manages to choke out before I stabbed him with my spear into his head.
"Retreat!" The demons yelled after seeing one of their commanders get taken down so easily.
"What should we do?" An angel asked me.
"Don't waste your breath on those cowards brothers. For today we have yet another victory over the demonic hells!" I shouted raising my spear into the air as a symbol of victory.
"Look it's him." I heard a few angels call out and pointed at me.
"Hello." I said to them waving at them as I walked with my horse to my home. I walked into my rather large home and walked up stairs into my pitch white room and laid down. The bed of clouds felt great as I relaxed for a moment.
'It's funny this house is so big and I have all I need, besides love.' I thought laying there staring into the ceiling. A knock came from the door. I sighed getting out of my soft bed walking my way down the two stair cases that meet on the cold marble floor of pure white. The knock grew louder and louder becoming faster.
"I'm coming!" I shouted a bit annoyed at how rude the angel knocking was.
"Good day sir." The angel every angel knew....it was the adviser to the head angel himself. He looked up at me and then it hit me.
"Oh I'm late!" I shouted mounting my horse and taking off.
"This evil it has invaded...." The head angel stopped seeing as I pushed open the doors.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" I shouted looking at all the eyes aimed at me. It made the pure white room with gold edges around it and giant walls of pure white surrounding me. Suddenly made the giant room seem very small.
"We understand the reason you're late you dealt with a confrontation at the gates." The head angel told me.
"Thank you for understanding." I thanked him. As I bowed before him.
"Any way this evil has reached Equestria and is going to destroy it. Not even the princesses we gave Equestria could stand up to this darkness because it even strikes fear into the hearts of angels." The head angel said addressing every one in the court.
"Wait what do you mean a darkness?" I asked my face turning into a serious look now. "What is his name?" I asked looking up at the head angel.
"It was an ancient evil that could kill ten angels in one strike...very few live to tell the tale of surviving a hit from Slenderman as we know him. It is true that finally he was defeated more than one thousand years ago." The head angel stopped. His white angelic wings went into his back folding up, his narrow eyes opened a bit wider. His gold and silver armor with the shapes of angel wings on his shoulders shook with fear.
"For this evil is now in Equestria and is taking children as we speak his name is Slendermane." The head angel said. "We need some one who will go on and face this...." He stopped as I slammed my weapon into the ground to get his attention.
"I'll go." I told him a look of joy in my eyes. The council was looking very anxious at the grin that I held.
"Well we were giving you information but it's a yes or no question do you want to go?" The head angel asked.
"Yes I will face this evil and destroy of him and bring back glory for us in the high heavens." I said raising my weapon.
"Let me tell you this though you are going to be in the body of a pony we have no idea what type of body a unicorn maybe but what ever body you make is what you shall become." The head angel said.
"I have an idea." I said with a smile on my face.
"Alright then since this is your first mortal realm mission I must tell you this if you fall in love with a pony from equestria and choose to stay in love with her you can never return to the high heavens." The head angel told me staring down at me.
"Please I can't even find love here who could I ever be attracted to in the mortal realms?" I asked in a joking matter.
"Alright are you ready to go?" He asked me ignoring my joke.
"Wait what about my steed?" I asked looking back at my horse.
"We'll take care of him for you." He said.
"Alright I'm ready to go." I said as I closed my eyes. I open them again to find your self being pulled through the ground and I begin to fall. 'Equestria funny I've always wanted to see how it was down there. Now I get my chance.' I thought with a grin on my face.
I looked down and pictured of being an alicorn like the princesses. I closed my eyes once again and prepared for the fall down to the mortal realm I took a quick breath as my breathing became faster as I moved through the air and then I hit my target the middle of the Everfree Forest. I blacked out for a second after the impact.
"Ah god that hurt." I mumbled looking around to see trees every where. The gentle breeze making the leaves on the tree fall around me. The grass was over grown everywhere and dark green but also very soft. I laid there looking around still. I felt the cool breeze going through my armor. I slowly felt my eyes growing heavy. I began pass out once again.
"Hello there?" I heard a sweet voice ask. I opened my eyes to see an amazing pair of beautiful purple eyes staring at me in wonder. "Hello?" I heard the voice ask again waving a hoof in front of my eyes to draw my attention.
"Oh hello." I managed to choke out after being lost in the pair of eyes.
"Oh so you can speak." She said giggling. I stood up and flexed my wings out after being stuck in place from laying down.
"Oh so you're an alicorn are you." The purple mare said looking at me in curiosity. I just stand there looking at her and are still lost in her eyes.
"Hello did you hear me?" She asked me.
"I'm sorry what." I said shaking my head to regain focus.
"I asked are you alright I mean no pony usually just takes a nap in the Everfree forest." The lavender mare said with a bit of worry in her voice.
"Oh I'm fine, I just can't remember anything besides just laying here and meeting you." I told the lavender mare.
"Nothing else at all?" The lavender mare asked concerned.
"No not really I can't even remember my own name and what an alicorn is." I admitted looking at my body.
"Hmm how strange." Twilight mumbled still looking at me with curiosity.
"So if you don't mind me asking a question what is your name?" I asked looking at her.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said to you.
"A very pretty name for a very pretty mare." I accidentally said blushing a bit.
"Thank...you I've never heard any stallion or colt say that to me..." Twilight admitted with a deep blush on her lavender cheeks.
"Well I guess I should get going I'm sure my memory will come back sooner or later..." I said as I turned my back on the lavender mare.
"Wait...." Twilight stumbled out.
"Yes?" I asked spinning around.
"You said you don't remember very much, why don't you stay with me until you start to regain your memory." Twilight said to me.
"No I couldn't I just met you and all. I don't want to be rude and barge in your house. Thank you though." I told her picking up my spear.
"Please I insist." Twilight said to me.
"Are you sure if I'm ever any trouble to you....I guess you could just kick me out." I said.
"I don't think you'll be any trouble you seem very nice. Much like my friend Rarity would say you are a gentlecolt." Twilight said.
"Ok then I guess I'll stay with you. But how could I ever repay you?" I asked looking at the mare.
"You could start by helping me get these things to my house from Zecora's house." Twilight said motioning to the basket.
"Alright." I said using my teeth to pick up the basket.
"Why don't you use your magic?" Twilight asked.
"Um...building neck muscles." I told her looking confused.
"Okay...."
"What about your Spear how are you going to carry it?" Twilight asked . I looked down at the spear and suddenly my horn started to glow as it floated to me and folded into a small toy looking pole.
"There we go." I shouted with glee looking at Twilight.
"Incredible!" Twilight said.
"What?" I asked a bit confused.
"I've never seen magic like that before." Twilight said.
"It just came naturally." I said to her.
"Almost there." Twilight said stopping in front of her house. She used her magic to open the door and walked inside her library house.
"Just set them down. Normally I would have my dragon assistant carry it for me but..." Twilight stopped as a tear hit the floor.
"What's the matter Twilight?" I asked feeling bad for the now crying mare.
"Well he hit that age where he had to be with his dragon kind I've been feeling so lonely ever since. Even if my friends stop by." Twilight told me.
"Hey at least you have me for the time being." I said with a bit of a chuckle.
"Yea I guess I do." Twilight smiled which made me feel a bit better that I brought her a smile.
"Hmm I bet your hungry after taking a nap like that." Twilight said.
"No I'm fine." I told her but my stomach disagreed.
"I think your stomach says you're hungry trust me it's no trouble at all." Twilight told me.
'Great now I'm all ready being a burden.' I thought looking at the library tree house. Books were everywhere rows on top of rows and more rows of books. They were almost part of the walls there were so many.
"You sure do like to read." I said to her picking up a book before quickly setting it back down.
"It's a great thing to read, it can take you almost any where." Twilight said to me in the kitchen.
"Oh yes I've read some great books." I told her.
"Oh really like what?" Twilight asked bringing me some hay fries.
"To tell you the truth I only remember the binding and hard cover being made of gold." I told her digging into the food.
"Gold what book has gold for a cover?" Twilight asked herself thinking.
"I don't know I just remember reading it in the clouds." I told her finishing off the amazing food.
"Well you sure were hungry weren't you?" Twilight asked giggling.
"Just a bit."
"Well it's getting late I'm going to bed there is a spare bed upstairs." Twilight yawned.
"No I'm fine with the couch." I told her with a smile..
"Alright but if you need anything don't be afraid to ask me." Twilight said.
"I've all ready troubled you enough I don't think I'll need anything for a while."
"Good night." Twilight said walking upstairs.
I walked over to the desk. I looked down and saw a newspaper sitting there.
Fillies are still disappearing all over Equestria. First filly ponynapped in Ponyville last night. Some say they've seen strange creature in the woods wearing a suit and tie other features unknown as he goes back into the woods when spotted. "Slendermane!" I shouted randomly after reading the newspaper article.
"What was that you shouted?" Twilight asked running down the stairs.
"Oh I just remembered something. I'm umm fine, you can go on back to bed." I said to her trying to not scare her.
"Are you sure you shouted like you just saw a ghost or something." Twilight said.
"No I'm fine..." I told her with a fake smile.
"Alright then..." Twilight said with a bit of strange tone.
'Well that sure was strange.'Twilight thought.
'That was to close for comfort. I have to be careful on what I say around here.' I thought.
"Sis could you keep it down." Sweetie Belle called out after hearing what sounded like something scraping. The scraping continued on the window. Sweetie got up from her bed and opened the window seeing nothing there but pure blackness out side. She mumbled a few words as she went back to laying back down. The scraping happened again on her window. "Ha very funny Rarity." Sweetie said as she heard loud snoring from the room next to her. The scraping became faster and faster louder and louder. Just as quickly as it started it stopped.
The scraping started again almost like it was calling her to come outside. She awoke fully and grabbed a flash light shaking it a bit so the light would not dim out from her weak magic. Sweetie went to the front door and heard the scraping now coming from the back of the house.
"What the hay is going on around here!" Sweetie Belle shouted walking to the back of the house. Rarity was still snoring she sure is a heavy sleeper.Sweetie thought.
Sweetie ran to the back and opened the door only to see nothing but the dim moonlit ground and blackness of the parts the moon could not touch. "Show your self!" Sweetie shouted as the door slammed shut behind her making her scream. She ran to the door to try and open it. It was locked. She banged on the door trying to awake Rarity after a few minutes Sweetie gave up on banging on the door as Rarity was still asleep. Sweetie looked around to see nothing by her. "Crack." Sweetie jumped hearing a stick crack in the distance.
"Who....wh....who's there." She choked out weakly. No response no sound it almost sounded peaceful if Sweetie Belle was not panicked.
She saw nothing in there. b=But she knew something was in there. She just didn't want to believe something was in there. She walked into the blackness that stretched before her carefully trying to not to make any sound.
"Crunch"....."crack"...."crunch....snap!"
The sounds were all around her she looked everywhere and kept wandering something was calling her and she knew it. She lightly trotted into a full panicked gallop as she heard another snap from a branch. Her panicked running had gotten her lost and she knew it she looked all around again. She heard another crack come from behind her. Sweetie closed her eyes terrified to open them at what she would see.
"Nothing is there Sweetie Belle you are just panicking for nothing...on the count of three I'll turn around and nothing will be there. 1..........2...." She stopped herself from counting.
She quickly started running again, her lungs and heart working harder then they had ever done before her pure white coat becoming sweat stained. She kept running and she did not know why if nothing was there why was she running! Sweetie thought as she kept running until she stopped. She saw something on a tree that looked like a letter.
"Don't let it touch you!"..... The note said and on the back of the paper a perfect circle with an X through it.
"What does this mean?" Sweetie asked herself. Her breath picking back up as her adrenaline kicked back in. The blackness in the woods became darker making the flashlight seem useless in the blackness it almost seemed like a void of pure dark. Sweetie felt something behind her this time.
"Sis is that you?" Sweetie asked as she turned around and shrieked in horror at what she saw. It was an alicorn with a pure black horn that made the blackness of the night seem bright compared to it. Her eyes grew wider and wider as she saw the next thing on him his face.... It looked like Rarity's manikins the thing had no eyes.....but it some how followed her! Where there should have been a nose there was nothing a mouth nothing.....ears nothing but yet the thing could hear her!
She looked and saw a dark black suit around his body making his horn and the night seem like the light of the sun....even if they were combined. A red neck tie hung around his neck like a noose of red death. Sweetie was terrified as she saw black tentacles that came out from his body. Sweetie Belle dropped her flashlight in fear....she tried to scream it was to late the hunter got his prize.
"No I do, I do remember where I'm from." I said to the others.
"How do you just remember from being scared to death?" Rarity asked.
"Well they say fear can generate spikes in the brain so..." I told her.
"Ok then where are you from?" Twilight asked.
"This is going to be hard to believe I understand if you think I'm lying." I tell her.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked concerned.
"You might want to sit down..." I told Twilight. Twilight laid down on the ground looking up at you.
"You remember the clouds I told you about and the book?" I asked looking at mare to see if she did.
"Yes why?" Twilight asked.
"Well in my saddlebags I have the book." I said pulling it out with my teeth.
"Before I let you look at it. I need to tell you everything I remember." I told Twilight and Rarity.
"Do you all know of heaven and hell?" I asked.
"Of course Celestia said that's where ponies go the good ones go to heaven and the bad ones go to hell." Twilight said.
"So then you are familiar with angels and demons right?" I asked. They both nodded.
"Wait, what does this have to with where you are from?" Twilight asked.
"If you wait I'll tell you." I said a bit annoyed at the interrupts.
"You see the clouds I was talking about. That was heaven...our heaven also monitors every other heaven, even the mortal realms. The pony heaven could not stop this monster called Slendermane. We are known as the main heaven we watch over the others and they send reports to us. Now that this monster Slendermane is upon the world creating havoc the pony heaven tried to do their job and stop him." I said.
"But..." Twilight said before I stopped her.
"Even with us being in the conflicts of hell itself we are still sent to do jobs in the mortal worlds. The pony heaven failed at doing their job a few hundred angels died from the conflict we were informed about this and were immediately called to court. During this time I had just defended heavens gates. From an attacking hell force shortly after I was called into court. Even being the most powerful heaven almost every angel is afraid of this monster...but one..angel...the angel of war. You see I have no fear I can strike down anything I want if I want you dead I will chase you until you're dead. I have chased Lieutenants and Captains of hells army themselves. I have been into hell's gaping mouth as well. I lived from the encounter very few can say that they have. I was asked to come here and fight off Slendermane and to rid him from Equestria the circle and the X you see is his symbol..." I said explaining the situation.
"I'm sorry but I don't believe you it's so hard to think an angel would bless us with their presence." Twilight said to me.
"That's why I saved this book for last." I said pulling out the book cased in gold.
"What a book made out of gold how much do you want for it?" Rarity asked looking at it.
"Not for sale." I said giving a look at the now very sad Rarity.
"Art of War....Written by the Angel of War." Twilight read out loud.
"See that's me in angel form see." I said opening the book. I began pointing at the pictures on the insides perfecting combat moves and fighting against demons.
"Wait though how do we know you're not lying?" Twilight asked.
"Angels never lie. Unless it is to protect ourselves against demons or hide ourselves from mortals." I told her.
"I mean come on Twilight he has pictures and everything of some court and everything I think he is telling the truth." Rarity said.
"I don't know..." Twilight said.
"Hmm fine I'll show you..." I said.
"How?" Twilight asked.
"This can't be to hard to believe." I told her bringing over and object.
"Please simple magic." Twilight said.
"Hmm you said my spear you've never seen magic like that." I told her bringing out the spear and using my magic to adjust it back into a weapon.
"Alright then one last chance." I told her closing my eyes and focusing on my steed back on heaven. I opened my eyes and told the two to walk out side.
"Master you called?" My horse asked.
"Yes these two don't believe where we are from could you please tell them about me." I said.
"It's simple he is the angel of war....he is from the highest branch of the heavens he has no fear and has ventured down to hell it's self many times and has only had one fatal wound. Master I must tell you...these two lovely ladies should accompany us sometime...also while I still have a moment down here you can only call on me in times of need and I'm only allowed to be down here for a short time." He said to me.
"That's all I need and hey don't flirt with the locals...that's my job." I whispered into his ear he only chuckled and disappeared in a flash.
"Now do you believe me?" I asked the two. They nodded up and down in surprise at they had just seen.
"This is so amazing an angel on Equestria and he is living with me!" Twilight shouted.
"Shh you can't tell any one..." I told Twilight who covered her mouth.
"Just because I live alone does not give ponies the right to pull pranks on me!" Scootaloo shouted getting up out of bed and opening her window to see what the scraping sound was.
"Nothing what the hay?" Scootaloo asked herself looking around to see nothing she peaked her head out for a double check and to still find nothing.
"Stupid wind..." Scootaloo sighed going back into her bed. She looked up at the ceiling seeing an X with a perfect circle around the black X.
"How did this even get here I've never seen it before." Scootaloo said. Scootaloo sighed and thought maybe she was seeing things after not sleeping for a while. The image haunted her though she tried to block it out of her thoughts as she tried to sleep harder. "Crack"..."crack"...."crack"...."snap"! Something was outside and Scootaloo knew it but she just wanted to block it out of her head.
"Go away nopony home!" Scootaloo shouted. She closed her eyes tighter she tried to block the sounds out even more.
"Crack"....."snap"....."snap"...."crunch"....."crunch"...."snap." The sounds went faster and there were more now. Scootaloo covered her ears with her hooves making sounds to try and block out the sounds. For over five minutes this went on until finally Scootaloo heard nothing more. She closed her eyes and went back to bed.... One hour later she heard another Snap but it sounded far away for she just closed her eyes again to try and sleep. "CRACK"! Scootaloo jumped out of bed hearing this one real close. She opened her eyes to see a terrifying sight. It was Slendermane staring right at her.
"What the hay are you?" Scootaloo asked. It made no sound but just stared at her. It seemed like for ever until Scootaloo started to shake in fear, she could feel it looking in her soul almost trying to take it from her body. Scootaloo punched the thing in the face and it made little almost no recoil at all it sat there almost mocking her and taunting her to do it again.
"Oh you're a tough guy are you okay then try this on." Scootaloo said bucking him in the face he just sat there again like it bearly hurt.
Scootaloo looked up at the thing in terror she jumped out of the bed and started running she looked back to see nothing there until she looked forward and saw Slendermane just staring at her but how it had no eyes! She thought as, she turned around and was able to run to the back door she opened it. She turned to the corner only to be stopped again by Slendermane just waiting for her. She screamed and turned around to the woods. She looked back and saw him this time chasing her running faster then her. She looked ahead and saw trees she thought she could lose what ever it was in the trees. She looked back to see the monster gone. She started walking again...
"Snap!" Scootaloo jumped and started running again she slowed down again trying to breathe. Slowly she turned around to see another X with a perfect circle edged into the tree below it a piece of paper.
It wants you! The note read, Scootaloo took off back the the direction of her house but she noticed the forest kept getting darker and darker the trees narrowed over her. It was making it much harder to run..... She slammed face first into a tree she got back up because of her fear of being captured by that thing. "Crack"..."Snap"...."Crack"...."Crunch"..."Crunch." The sounds kept getting louder and louder closing in on her.
She looked around but saw only pitch blackness around her. She kept bumping her sides into the trees but it did not matter if she got away from it she could break a leg she just wanted to run away!
She slammed face first into another tree this time she just laid there as blood poured out of her nose and her gums. She looked as the dark figure appeared over her it's tentacles coming out to lick up the blood coming out of Scootaloo. She thought she was safe until the figure turned and grabbed her before....she could even let out a scream of fear.
"Damn he is nearby." I said jumping out of the couch and strapping on my armor and grabbing my spear.
"What is it?" Twilight asked.
"It's Slendermane he is nearby." I told her the look in my eye changed quickly.
"Can I come with you?" Twilight asked.
"No you'll only put your self in danger." I told her taking off to the woods. The night sky was much darker then last night with there only being a slim and less then bright crescent moon out tonight.
'Where are you?' I thought flying around looking for him.
"Where are you?" I asked ready to fight him.
"Angels....you think you are so much better then mortals and demons. But yet you can die just like a mortal..." The voice said.
"Answer my question you coward." I said calling him out.
"As to your question, right behind you." Slendermane said. I turned around and used my magic to summon a pure black spear that makes his suit look pale in comparison the ridges on it are of angels and demons fighting an eternal battle that has gone on since time. Wings are at the top of the spear to do attacks from the side like a sword while being able to stab and grip onto it's victim because of those wings. The spear head a jet black tip sharper then the strongest steel.
"Ah I've always hoped I'd see the only angel weapon that is the color black." Slendermane said.
"So then you are familiar with my weapon?" I asked looking at Slendermane curiously.
"Of course, you foal your weapon is known as Black Death." Slendermane chuckled.
"It's incredible with no eyes you can see and how such a monster could know of such a weapon." I said aloud.
"You call me a monster but look at you....you're an angel that loves war...I know you do the feeling of glory. Blood on your armor! You say you don't know what fear is, but I'll show you!" He shouted reaching out his tentacles to try and ensnare me, I quickly move out of the way of his attack and sliced his tentacles.
"This fight won't be to long all I have to do is cut you down." I said reading his next attack.
"An easy fight trust me I have many tricks dear angel." Slendermane said healing his wounds.
"You just....you just healed your self." I stammered out in shock.
"Oh if they can kill that fool Slenderman on Earth. You can most certainly kill me but by the time you kill me but I assure you it won't be easy." He said slamming his hoof into my chest causing me to fall into the ground and slam my back into the ground.
"Angels always think they are better then us misfits. But I'll show you the pain and suffering I've dealt with!" He shouted grabbing me in his tentacles. I used my magic to fire a bolt of bright white at him causing him to drop me.
"You cheap bastard." Slendermane said as he healed the wound in his face.
"It's true they look down at you but I know your pain....I've had to deal with it all my life I've always been kind yet people view me as a monster because I am the angel of war. Yet they cry my name in battle the only time they are glad to see me is in battle!" I shouted thrusting my spear into his chest and twisted it to hook onto him and rip it out his black blood showering my body just as soon as I dealt the damage he healed the damage.
"Your attacks are powerful but I've heard of another move of yours your weapon has a smoke that follows it and you become stronger and faster and you feel no pain well you'll need it!" He shouted thrusting a tentacle into my leg ripping out the flesh.
"Mr.Angel is that you?" Twilight called out.
"Twilight what did I tell you to stay home!" I shouted with a worried look in my eyes.
"Oh so you care for this mare do you!" Slendermane said throwing me into the ground.
"What is that thing?" Twilight asked fear in her voice.
"I'm your worst nightmare." Slendermane cackled madly.
"Run Twilight!" I shouted standing up and rushed in front of her blocking his attack.
"It seems you care for this mare. This will make it more fun fighting me while keeping her alive.You still have to stay alive at the same time it's almost like a game." Slendermane said.
"Hmm I wonder if hanging around this angel has given you the ability to understand us misfits." Slendermane said curiously.
"How....are....you....talking....and...se....you....can...see me...when you have....n....n....n" Twilight kept saying the letter n over and over in fear.
"Go ahead and say it. Look at this freak and say it I have no what!" He shouted at the terrified mare.
"You have no eyes! You have no ears and yet you can hear me! You have no nose....you have no face what the hay are you!" Twilight shouted in fear backing up. I was still holding his attack back with my black death.
"I'm the element of fear or the aspect of fear I am fear it self!" Slendermane shouted.
"No....it's not possible you can't be speaking.....your face....how....it's terrifying your whole image is terrifying!" Twilight shouted in fear.
"Oh trust me you should see the fear I cause those who can't hear me speak....they don't even know the fun I have hunting them down first I give them a little scare then the fun starts from there! You should see the look on those who can't understand me not knowing their killer a silent death oh it's most joyful!" Slendermane said laughing like a madpony.
"You're mad!" I shouted throwing him off my weapon and ripping out his chest again only to have it heal again.
"I've said to much I need to save up my energy for the next hunt tomorrow, I'll be back stronger dear angel you might want to protect that pony you love." He said leaving.
"What....was....tha....that thing." Twilight cried in fear.
"That was Slendermane." I said as I hugged her and let her tears fall on me.
"That thing....it's so scary!" Twilight cried out.
"Now you see why I did not want you to come." I told her.
"Yes I see and I saw him!" Twilight shouted crying even harder in fear her body shaking.
"What did he mean to those who can't understand him?" Twilight asked looking up at me with bloodshot eyes.
"You see angels can understand everyone everypony and everything. Mortals though they need to have a very opened mind and high spirits or some sort of special ability to understand as he called him self a misfit." I said to her.
"I don't want to hear him or see him." Twilight cried harder like a scared little filly.
"Shh let's get you home..." I said picking her up and flying to her house. She was still crying in fear.
"Can you sleep upstairs tonight please?" Twilight asked calming down a bit.
"Of course." I told her putting her in her bed and laying down on the floor next to her.
"There is a bed you know." Twilight said.
"I know it just seems to make people or ponies sleep better knowing the one protecting them is closer to them I learned that from a young child before....on a mission I snuck out on. I protected this boy as he said he was afraid after seeing so many demons, he asked if I could sleep with him for a night and he asked if I could sleep next to him on the floor and I told him yes. He told me it makes the person feel safer."
"You sure are kind, I don't know why angels in heaven see you as a monster." Twilight said.
"Oh you heard that part?" I asked a bit of sorrow hanging onto my voice.
"Yes if it makes you feel any better you're not a monster." Twilight told me.
"It does make me feel better." I told her. I had a warm feeling of kindness going down my body.
I awoke to see a lavender pair of lips slowly coming at me. I looked up and saw the mare who saw me open my eyes. Her eyes grew wide with fear as she saw my eyes open. I quickly thought this is my first kiss so what the hell. I yanked her down closer to my body and our lips connected as the lavender mare looked down in shock but then her eyes went into a state of relaxation. A bit of saliva going between both of us until we both pulled away with red hot blushes on our faces. I just laid there and stared at the mare her blush now becoming brighter and brighter by the second.
'That was amazing....my first kiss she must have kissed a few ponies to know how to kiss like that.' I thought just staring at Twilight who was just looking down at the ground now.
'My first kiss it was so amazing it was like everything I hoped for and he actually kissed me back! That sure was a good kiss he might not have been in love with some angel but he sure must have kissed a few.' Twilight thought now looking up at me and smiling a bit seeing me kick my hoof back and forth.
"You know that was my first kiss." We both said breaking the awkward tension only by a little bit.
"I'm sorry what was that?" Twilight asked.
"I thought I heard you say something, go ahead say what you had to say first." I told her still in shock by the kiss.
"Well this must sound really dumb but that was my first kiss." Twilight said the blush now turning from one of a love to embarrassment type of blush.
"What were you going to say?" Twilight asked me.
"I could have sworn by how good that was I thought you maybe made out with a few angels but I guess I was wrong..." Twilight giggled nervously."I'm sorry if I freaked you out I just wanted my first kiss so badly just so I could say I had it." Twilight told me with another nervous giggle.
"Freaked out sure at first but then....your kiss it was amazing....Twilight....I..." I said.
"What is it?" Twilight asked a smile coming on her face.
"I'm sorry but if I ever want to go back to heaven I can't fall in love with a mortal but thanks for the first kiss." I told her.
"Oh.....it...w...a....wa....was no problem." She said tears falling out of her eyes as she ran out side slamming the door which made a few books fall off the shelves. 'Great he does not like me....he just lied to make me feel better about the kiss thing.' Twilight thought running into Rarity's house.
"What is it darling?" Rarity asked hugging her best friend seeing her tears she quickly used her magic to grab a box of tissue.
"I had my first kiss." Twilight said crying.
"You did! Then why are you crying it's supposed to be a happy time now a time to cry." Rarity said as her friend hugged her tighter.
"He does not like me....he...ju....just kissed me and made a lie about it being his first kiss..." Twilight sobbed out tears staining her lavender coat.
"Who is he dear?" Rarity asked.
"Well dear...while he was sleeping....you know what never mind but that is not the point no one kisses one of my friends only to break their hearts angel or not he is going to be in a world of hurt." Rarity told her friend.
"Thanks Rarity I don't ever want to see him again." Twilight cried out. I quickly flew to the one place I knew to go Rarity's house.
"Sir we have just received reports of demons coming to aid Slendermane!" A messenger shouted at the head angel.
"Hmm." The head angel mumbled.
"Don't you think we should send help?" The messenger asked.
"Twilight are...." I called out before I am hit by something and black out.
"Don't you think he is going to be mad when he wakes up?" Twilight asked.
"Maybe, maybe not." Rarity said grabbing a rope and a strange looking ring.
"What is with the ring thing and ropes?" Twilight asked.
"Um....nothing at all." Rarity lied to Twilight.
"Ow that hurt...." I said looking around to see the walls of the boutique.
"Um hello?" I called out trying to use my magic but for some reason it failed. I tried to flap my wings and found they were not moving I looked down in shock to find I was tied up to a chair.
"Oh so you are finally awake." I heard a voice call out from behind. I tried to turn around to see what was behind me.
"Don't bother struggling I'll let you go after you answer a few questions." The voice said.
"Who is that Twilight is that you?" I asked looking around.
"No, but it is her friend Rarity." Rarity said walking out from behind me almost tipping the chair to play mind tricks and to show she had the power over me right now.
"Why am I tied up?" I asked looking up at the mare.
"Well darling you are a prisoner until you answer these questions." Rarity said.
"Fine just hurry up this kinda hurts." I told her trying to wiggle into a better position.
"Not as bad as what is coming." Rarity whispered to herself. "So then Twilight told me of what happened today..." Rarity said.
"The kiss?" I asked her and saw she nodded in agreement.
"So do you like playing around with a mares heart like it's a toy?" Rarity asked.
"What...what are you talking about?" I asked confused on what she is talking about.
"I heard what you did." Rarity told me staring down at my face to see what my reaction was when the chair tilted a bit.
"I kissed her big deal!" I shouted in a big of anger.
"Easy there and do you know what kiss that was to her?" She asked me, I sat there staring into the blue eyes of my captor and shook my head no.
"That was her first kiss!" She shouted at me as she placed a hoof on the chair almost knocking it over.
"I know...." I mumbled.
"Oh so you do know, but then you had the nerve to lie to her about it being your first kiss as well." Rarity said a bit of her spit flying into my eyes.
"No you are lying." Rarity said. I sighed a bit annoyed.
"Rarity did you forget something?" I asked calming down.
"No I don't think so why?" Rarity asked pausing her interrogation.
"You forgot who you are talking to an angel! We can't lie come on I thought you could figure that out." I told her my anger starting to build up again.
"Ok I'll give you that." She said looking down at me tipping the chair again..
"Any more question or can I get out of this now?" I asked.
"There are a few more." Rarity told me.
"Let's just get this over with." I sighed out.
"Then you got her all warmed up to you and then she thought you liked her." Rarity said.
"I....I do." I told her.
"Not like her as a friend but loved her...do you know how much she cries because no pony has fallen in love with her then you show up and you get her thinking somepony loves her. And boom you just break her heart like that because you said you don't want to be with her." Rarity said.
"Ok now hold up here is the problem. I.... you know what let me whisper my answer into your ear. She moved closer and I told her that I did love Twilight but I would never return to heaven if I fell in love with a mortal. Rarity looked at my eyes changing as she heard what I told her.
"Ok then I'll give you that sometimes her imagination does get the best of her." Rarity said as she disappeared and came back out pulling a grief stricken Twilight.
"Twilight..." I called out to her but she turned her head away from me in anger.
"Twilight do you know what he said...he said if he fell in love with a mortal he could no longer return to heaven. He never said he did not love you. Because of your imagination I hit an angel who will probably send me to hell." Rarity said.
"Nah we are cool you were just looking out for a friend." I told her as she smiled at me.
"Well still I know he does not love me. He just likes to kiss mares for fun and break their hearts." Twilight said.
"Twilight..." I stopped Rarity who looked at me strangely.
"I think I can take it from here." I told her.
"Twilight can you please look at me..." I begged her slowly but surly she turned her head tears still running down her cheeks.
"No in fact the only reason I wanted to pull away from my first kiss is...is....is" I stammered is out for a few seconds until Twilight stopped me.
"Is what?" Twilight asked.
"It's because I fell in love with a mortal." I told her.
"Who is that?" Twilight asked.
"That was so heart touching...." Rarity said to me. Twilight moved up to me again and pressed her lips onto mine. I closed my eyes and so did she as our tongues touched a bit she pressed harder on my lips she tipped the chair over and me with it but she was still kissing me. A bit of saliva dripped from both of our mouths as she broke from the kiss. I just sat there stunned at what just happened my mouth opened almost as wide as Rarity's from shock. Twilight just sat there and looked at me. I stared back at the mare I knew....the mare I loved.
"That...I have no words to say." I told Twilight who just giggled.
"You think it was good?" Twilight asked.
"That was amazing I wish that could last for ever being so close to you...that kiss it made my heart melt." I told her. She quickly moved closer to me again and gave me another kiss this one much quicker.
'She is so amazing I love her so much.)'I thought as I stared at the mare lost in her eyes again until I felt Rarity pick the chair up.
"Well you both did show some very good passion for a second kiss." Rarity said with a bit of a blush on her face.
"Can you let me out?" I asked.
"I have one more question." Rarity told me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"So then are you going to choose heaven......or stay with the mare you love?" Rarity asked. I sat there and thought a second before I answered.
"Heaven..." I told the two mares who gasped and I saw Twilight start to cry. "I choose my heaven...and it's Twilight." I said looking at her.
"Well my you sure are good with your flirting lines have you used that before?" Rarity asked.
"No I just thought of it." I told her. I fell to the ground again from a jumping Twilight who tackled me giving me a bone crushing hug and kissing me again. I kept my eyes opened this time looking into hers as I saw she did this time as well. I moved my tongue around her mouth again until I pulled away.
"I love you Twilight Sparkle." I told her.
"I love you my Angel." Twilight said to me. Both of us lost in each others eyes we both blushed a bit.
"Every heaven needs an angel. I want to be your angel will you by my heaven?" I asked her pressing my lips on her soft lips again before pulling apart. We both looked over and saw a bit over emotional Rarity Twilight and I looked at each other and laughed.
The barn door was being knocked around from the wind? But wait there was no wind tonight. Applebloom thought jumping out of bed to see what was happening. She looked out of the window and saw nothing wrong and felt no wind.
"Maybe it was just a breeze." Applebloom said to herself as she went to lay back down. The barn door kept slamming again she sighed and closed her eyes again. Applebloom went back to sleep but only for a moment as she had a dream of her friends in the barn waiting for her to save them. Applebloom jumped out of bed the window slammed shut for some odd reason causing her to jump a few feet in the air and shriek. She heard her granny snoring in the room next to her on the other side of the house was Applejack and Big Mac she could hear Big Mac snoring a bit before she walked down the stairs.
"Please tell me that was just a dream." Applebloom said to herself before grabbing a rake for protection. She picked up her pace before hearing some walking by the trees on her side.
"Who....who is ther.....there." Applebloom choked out raising her rake like a weapon. "I'm not afraid to use this." Applebloom said to the invisible force. She went into the apple fields walking around she heard a strange sound every once in a while but I mean it was only an apple orchard right. Right? Applebloom thought as she kept walking in the pitch black there was no moon tonight and very little stars.
"Out of all the nights Luna had to make, it's a no moon just great." Applebloom said to herself trying to find her way around the trees in the pitch black. She thought she heard a crack of a stick behind her. Applebloom's adrenaline quickly took control of her as she ran already toward the barn. She did not want to look back but something told her to stop being such a Scootaloo and turn around. She readied her rake and quickly spun around only to find nothing... She sighed in relief seeing nothing. She turned back to see why that dream told her to go the barn.
Snap....another stick cracked this time on the side a little far away from her. Applebloom stopped to see what was over there but only saw what looked like black in the shadows. For some reason Applebloom thought she saw a part in the shadows that was much darker then the others. She shook the thought off and went back to her way to the barn.
Applebloom took a deep breath as she reached the doors. "Hello anypony in here?" Applebloom asked no response.... She gulped hearing no response in the barn,she took another deep breath feeling a bit of dirt enter her mouth. She coughed out a bit during this time she had no idea what was about to happen to her. She stopped coughing and peeked her head into the barn only looking straight ahead she saw nothing....
She looked to her right side....nothing...she looked left and right before her stood a massive figure just standing there. Applebloom looked up and saw the face she gasped seeing no eyes no ears no mouth no nothing. She screamed and took off trying to exit the barn from the other side. She ran out and turned around the corner nothing there.... Applebloom quickly panted and gasped for breath like the figure stole it all from her. She tried running toward her house waiting at the door was the figure who turned his face and looked at the frightened filly.
Applebloom screamed again and started running back to the orchard she thought she could lose that thing in there. She sped up seeing the figure was just sitting there waiting for her at the doorstep she slowed down only for a quick second to get her breath. She heard another snap from a branch on of the trees show looked and saw the thing standing over her.
"Think Applebloom think!" She whispered remembering she had the rake she swung it with all the force she could bring forth and hit him in the head with the rake making his head twist a bit the rake jammed into his skull he fell to the ground only to make the filly's worst nightmare happen next. He stood up and grabbed the rake slamming the filly with the end of the rake pushing her against a tree. He snapped his neck back into place starring at the filly. She bucked him back a bit giving Applebloom enough room to run. Slendermane quickly threw the rake at the now annoying filly hitting her in the leg. The rake stuck into her leg causing her to yelp in pain and drop the ground blood leaking from the wound onto the soft dirt ground.
He moved over and towered over the filly he made his tentacles come out from his body and watched as the filly's eyes went wide with terror seeing how they moved from side to side like the princesses manes. They moved to her back leg and ripped the rake out making a bit of bone crack when removed the filly whimpered in pain. He used his tentacles to drag the blood on Applebloom making little lines around her body only to draw a perfect X and a circle on her back he picked her up before Applebloom could scream again.
"According to Slendermane the angel should be in this very house here." The General Demon said pointing at the map.
"Hmm but sir how would we get him to even attack him. I mean Slendermane is his main concern?" A Captain asked.
I awoke finding my self on the floor I could have sworn I was a on a bed... I thought looking around and saw Twilight having her legs stretched out.
"Note to self Twilight is a very rough sleeper." I mumbled to my self walking into the kitchen. I turned on the coffee pot and heard a knock at the door. I quickly walked over to who ever kept knocking seeing the paper colt. I smiled at him and threw him a few bits as a tip.
Ponyville Press
"Damn he got another." I mumbled hitting my self in the head. I sighed and looked up stairs seeing Twilight was still asleep. I walked up stairs and grabbed my gear.
"Hey..." Twilight said smiling a tired smile.
"Where..are you going?" Twilight asked.
"Sweet Apple Acres, Slendermane got a filly by the name of Applebloom there last night I'm going to do a bit of research." I told her.
"Wait!" Twilight shouted jumping out of bed.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked.
"That is my friends sister!" Twilight shouted running out side.
"Well I guess you don't want some coffee...." I sighed walking out side. I flew up in the air and followed Twilight getting close to her.
"So then does this freak have something against fillies?" Twilight asked.
"Well that is how he starts out with the children then he will move up the age groups and then boom the city is gone." I said to her.
"Wait though we don't have many fillies or colts we don't even have that many ponies in Ponyville!" Twilight shouted stopping. I landed looking at her.
"It's alright Twilight that is why I was here until....I met you but I will try to stop him." I said kissing her nose causing her to blush.
"How though he can regenerate his own body back..." Twilight said to me a bit of panic in her eyes.
"The thing is Slenderman died from his wounds. The only reason because they can only regenerate so much it takes a lot of energy out of them." I said.
"So you are saying at a point they could stop regenerating?" Twilight asked.
"Yes if I could even get to fight him that long." I sighed looking up at the sky.
"We could help you. We have the elements of harmony you see." Twilight stopped seeing me put a hoof up to her mouth.
"I all ready know you are the elements of harmony I know much more about you and your friends then you think. I just know the details listed I know every single one of your elements." I said.
"Prove it." Twilight said with a smirk on her face.
"Alright so you do know but why did you say my name last?" Twilight asked.
"I saved the best for last." I told her.
"Yea really, we can continue this later right now let's go check on your friend." I said blushing.
"Yea you're right, but how come you know our names and everything but have no idea where we live?" Twilight asked.
"I only read that part on you before the demons attacked the front gates." I told Twilight who looked at me with a blush still on her face.
"Applejack!" Twilight said running into the house tackling her friend for a hug.
"Twilight....oh...sugar cube I'm sorry you gotta see me like this." Applejack said tears in her eyes.
"It's alright I'm so sorry." Twilight said.
"No I'm sorry if I could have felt his spirit then I could have saved her, but he hides his spirit so it is so hard to find him." I sighed.
"Um Twilight who is this?" Applejack asked.
"This is my new colt friend." Twilight said hugging me.
"Howdy." Applejack said wiping up her tears.
"Nice to meet you." I said. I shook her hoof before clearing my throat. "Sorry it had to be this way." I told her.
She just shook her head before giving off a bit of hospitality. "Well my name is Applejack what's yours?" Applejack asked.
"Well you see he does not really have a name he is an angel....like a real angel from heaven. So Twilight and I just call him Angel um but he is the angel of....of..." Rarity stopped.
"War." I said to her.
"Yea that's right." Rarity said.
"Well then I guess I should introduce you to the others then Twilight's cold friend." Applejack said.
"This here is Fluttershy." Applejack pointed to Fluttershy who only ducked in fear.
"This is Pinkie Pie." Applejack told me pointing to Pinkie who only opened her mouth.
"Oh hey my name is Pinkie and this is Ponyville, I need to throw you a party!" Pinkie said faster then any of us could understand.
"My name is Rainbow Dash I'm the fastest pegasus in Equestria and some day I'll join the wonder bolts." Rainbow told me.
I laughed for a second only to stop to see five very confused faces staring at me.
"What is so funny we just told you about us and our names?" Rainbow asked.
"You see in heaven we have reports on anything and just before I was called down to Equestria...well I was reading your report and the elements of harmony and...Twilight you remember him right?" I asked.
Her eyes went wide with fear and did a slow nod...tears starting to come into her eyes.
"Who is it?" Applejack asked.
"Ok well I don't know how you guys took me being an angel so well." I said.
"That is simple Rarity told everypony besides me." Applejack said. I shot an angry glare at Rarity, who did a who me smile.
"Well the him I just mentioned, that is the one who took your sister." I said.
"You know who did it?" Applejack asked tackling me.
"Yes..." I said.
"Who did it?" Applejack asked still standing on top of me.
"Maybe he would tell you if you got off of him now please Applejack get off my colt friend." Twilight said and suddenly three gasp happened.
"Really Rarity you tell them a huge secret about me being an angel, but not our relationship." I sighed hoof palming.
"You are kidding me. Twilight you got a colt friend that looks like this." Rainbow said pointing to me.
"Well....yea....i....is that a...bad...thing?" Twilight asked looking up at Rainbow Dash.
"No I'm just surprised that he would go for an egghead." Rainbow told Twilight.
"For your information Twilight is the first per...err pony I've fallen in love with I mean just look at her. Her eyes are so amazing I could just stare into them for ever. You know what never mind Rarity will get emotional." I said looking at Rarity.
"What about the one guy who is it!?" Applejack asked shouting at me.
"If you could please get off of me and stop spitting I will tell you." I said.
"Oh sorry." Applejack said.
"Thank you, now the one who captured you is known as Slendermane......" I stopped talking as I heard a crash happen all of us rushed out side.
"Oh I smell fear...." A demon said.
"Hmm I taste angel in you...so then this must be the one." The demon said as I tried to get out of his hands he only tightened his grip.
"Well, he said to dispose of you, and I'm feeling pretty hungry." The demon said lifting his arm up.
"Let go of him you freak!" Rainbow shouted charging at him with one hoof out stretched she punched him in the face causing him to drop me.
"Thanks." I said in a gasp of my breath.
"It's no problem can't let little Twilight's lover boy get killed now can we?" Rainbow asked throwing me my spear.
"I guess not." I said jumping up and stabbing the demon in the hand that he used to block the attack that almost hit him in the eye. I tried to pull it but my spear was stuck in his hand.
"Ah so this is.....Atra Mors." The general said stepping out from the shadows.
"Wait this is the angel of war I thought he would put up a good fight." The demon said as he threw me off his hand ripping the weapon out of his hand blood started rushing onto the ground from the wound.
"Well then wielder of Atra Mors what should we do?" The general asked.
"A....general....I've never seen any of your kind......be....before why are you even here?" I asked still trying to get my breath.
"You see our commander thought Slendermane could use some help and well that freak is a bit creepy. Though I must say we love his plan, and get this he even offered for us to be a part of it. For a part hell can you believe it!?" The general asked with a bit of joy in his voice.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"For what?" He asked.
"I can't let you do that these ponies need to live some where and I don't think they want to live in hell!" I shouted stabbing his buddy that grabbed me earlier in the chest I twisted it and heard a few bones crack. I lodged it deeper watching him struggle to grab me I kept making it rip into his skin until it went through his back snapping his spine in half.
"Well then I guess it just you and me kid." The general said to me.
"Well then I guess I'll have to release my weapons ability..." I said using my magic to make my spear grow a bit and have a trail of black smoke follow me.
"This should be fun." The general told me with a smile showing his fang like teeth. I swung my weapon creating a area of smoke around me hiding me from his sight.
"Hiding won't help you little angel." The general said slamming his giant fist into the ground causing it to act like a little quake I flew up to avoid be crushed by rubble. He grabbed my wing and held me in place to grab me with his other hand.
"Well I guess for the wielder of Atra Mors is going to die today." The general said to me his breath washing over me as he put me in his mouth his saliva all over me.
"Nooo!" Twilight screamed as her horn lit up and fired a huge bolt of magic at the General ripping open his throat.
"What is this?" The general coughed out spitting me out.
"Don't you dare harm him!" Twilight snorted kicking her hoof back ready to charge.
"Well then I guess maybe you should go first after all that did hurt." The general said holding his wound as the black blood dripped out of his wound.
"Don't lay your eyes off your opponent." I said slicing him with the spear cutting out part of his eye.
"You bastard!" The general said holding his eye. Twilight charged her magic and fired another huge bolt fired by three smaller bolts of magic.
"You fool that won't stop me!" The general said grabbing me and threw me into the ground. I slammed into the ground rolling around only to see him come over and try to stomp on me. I rolled out of the way and stabbed him in the heel causing him to break his ankle he fell crushing Applejack's barn. The shrapnel of wood went through his body ripping him to shreds.
"Are you alright?" Twilight asked me.
"Yea this move makes me immune to pain as long as I keep it up I don't feel pain even after an injury. But it takes a lot of energy." I said to her smiling as she held me close to her.
"Mah barn!" Applejack shouted.
"I'm sorry he crushed it." I said coughing out a bit of blood.
"It's alright I guess I could fix it but with what bits?" She asked herself.
"Here take this." I said throwing her a pouch of bits.
"How did you get that money?" Twilight asked. I pointed upwards and they all just looked and laughed thinking they should have seen it coming.
"Well I guess I have to worry about demons now, and the worst part is he was just a general not even a two star or up." I said trying to stand up.
"What do you mean just you?" Twilight asked.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked.
"Well sugar cube you are Twilight's coltfriend and Twilight is family so that makes you family, if you're fighting these things so are we right girls." Applejack said winking at me.
"Right." The others said besides Fluttershy who was still hiding.
"I'm grateful girls but I mean come on...the last thing I want you to do is get yourselves killed over my mission." I said.
"Look here angel boy we are helping you, weather you like it or not besides you said the elements of harmony might help with this Slendermane." Rainbow said flying rather close to my face.
"Please..." Twilight begged giving me a kiss which changed my answer to hell no to a hell yes.
"Yes you can help but now Slendermane he is going to come out at night tonight we will all have to stay up to save the next filly." I said.
"What does he look like?" Rainbow asked. I sat them down and explained what he looked like I saw their faces change from interest to horror besides Fluttershy who was just hiding.
"Fluttershy what if he gets one of your animal friends." Twilight said. I saw her shoot up and her mode changed from a look of fear into those of a killer.
"Well it's just barley reaching noon what now?" I asked looking at the six who just sat there in silence. I sat there just looking at Twilight in a bit of awe at how cute she even looked even when bored. I started whistling trying to break the awkward silence seeing how no pony wanted to do something I spoke again. "Come on you have to be kidding me you just sit here in silence after defeating a general of hells army like nothing happened." I said looking out of the window seeing the news crews taking pictures.
"We are trying to avoid the news crew so keep it down." Rarity said.
"Why what's the big deal?" I asked.
"Well when we saved Equestria a few times we were swarmed by the news a few minutes after." Twilight told me.
"It can't be that bad right..." I said opening a door only too see news crews swarming the door like a pack of wolves on their prey.
"Oh now that is a bit crazy it's like every pony came to see what happened here." I said walking to the others.
"Now you see what we were telling you?" They all asked me. I nodded slowly looking out the window. I heard what sounded like a poof of magic and a note popped out.
Dear Twilight Sparkle
"Don't worry angel this is not your home." A voice said.
"Sir is that you?" I asked looking up to see the head angel.
"Indeed War it is now if you could me a favor and tell me what the hell happened?" The head angel asked.
"Well....you know what I don't even know what to say it's kinda hard to hide a giant demon." I sighed out.
"Hmm I will grant you that but what about Slendermane?" The head angel asked.
"Well...." I stopped knowing I had no excuse.
"Well here is what happened Slendermane came after me and the angel saved me. He saved me and everything is that not what angels stand for....for protecting?" Twilight asked the head angel who looked down in surprise.
"Twilight Sparkle that is not how you speak to our guest." Celestia said with a stern tone in her voice.
"It's quiet all right Celly." The head angel said looking down at Twilight.
"Well then I guess you are right there Twilight Sparkle. At least he saved you." The head angel said looking at her then me.
"I'm sorry sir but he can..." I stopped hearing him clear his throat.
"I know about his powers the point is for now you are slowing him down that is all that matters I'm not asking you to speed up the pace. Besides you are the only angel who is willing to do this and I know a secret of yours. I know of you and Twilight over there and I can't believe I'm saying this. I will allow you to come back to heaven once this is all over if you wish even though you fell in love with a mortal." The head angel said.
"Thank...thank you sir but I'm afraid not I'm going to stay here with my love. I never found love until I saw those beautiful purple eyes and you know what I'll stop there. Anyway the point is I'm going to stay here. I love this mortal with all my heart so much I'm willing to sacrifice heaven to be with her." I said to the head angel.
"I see very well but because I have a deep respect for you. I will tell you this you can never return ever." The head angel told me.
"I know but I'm love her more then heaven she is my heaven." I said putting my leg around her shoulder.
"Very well then this is never to be spoken of again but would you still like to perform your duties as an angel?" The head angel ask.
"If I can stay with Twilight down here then of course." I told him.
"Yes of course but, I have a feeling that more demons and strange things will be happening now that an angel is here. I'm leaving you in control of Equestria for now." The head angel told me.
"Thank you sir." I said bowing before him.
"Well I must be off." The head angel said disappearing with a flash of light.
"Well I must say angel I credit you on your love for my little sister." A voice said from behind. I spun to see a white stallion with blue hair and a pink alicorn.
"Cadence, Shining!" Twilight shouted running over to them.
"Twily." Shining Armor said hugging her sister.Tthe alicorn hugged her new sister as well. I saw the unicorns talking and saw the pink alicorn come towards me.
"Well then you must be Twilight's coltfriend." Cadence told me.
"Well then I guess what my aunt said is true they have reports on ponies names in heaven." Cadence told me.
"Yep." I said with a smile.
"Listen here though Twilight has never had a coltfriend or anypony like her. You hurt her you'll be answering to me angel or not. I will get you for hurting my little Twilight." Cadence said her eyes looking of those of a cold blood killer only to return to a friendly look. "You got that?" She asked.
"Yes...." I gulped only to see Celestia walk over to me.
"So then I'm taking it Cadence gave you a threatening speech?" Celestia asked.
"Yes." I said looking at her.
"Well then I guess I won't be hurting Twilight and besides when a mortal and a angel fall in love they are both granted eternal life. But I have no intention of ever hurting Twilight's feelings....again." I mumbled the last time. I looked to see the white stallion come over.
"Let me guess death threat if I hurt your sister?" I asked.
"Yea....but only if you hurt her I will have a firing squad ready for you. But hey welcome to the family." Shining Armor said giving me a hug.
Passion
"Well then, your family and princess scared the crap out of me." I told Twilight as we walked through the Canterlot Gardens.
"What did they do?" Twilight asked walking closer to me.
"Oh you know the usual, some death threats if I ever hurt your feelings." I said waving my hoof around.
"If you ever do trust me I won't tell them." Twilight said kissing me on the cheek, causing me to blush.
"Thank you." I sighed out happily. It was only mid afternoon the sun was still warm. Twilight's lavender coat looking more beautiful in the sun, almost like the sun was attracted to her as well.
"You look beautiful." I mumbled out not really paying attention to what I said.
"Thank you." Twilight giggled, soon followed by a bright red blush.
"You know?" Twilight asked stopping in thought.
"Do I know what?" I asked stopping in front of a giant statue.
"I don't get it, I mean sure I heard love makes you do crazy things, but I mean come on your sacrificed going to heaven for me, but why tell me why?" Twilight demanded, while still asking the question.
"Well the reason is because, you're my first love and only love I've never felt this way before, Twilight Sparkle will you marry me?" I asked pulling out a wedding ring I bought a few hours ago.
"Oh I don't know what to say, this is incredible!" Twilight shouted in glee.
"Say yes I mean come on Twilight." Rarity said hiding behind a bush.
"Just say what you want." I told her still kneeling down before her.
"YES A MILLION TIMES YES!" Twilight shouted in joy, she quickly ran over and tackled me, only to hug me I watched her put her face closer to mine. She quickly closed her eyes as we pressed our lips together, I quickly grabbed Twilight and pulled her closer. I heard a slight moan of pleasure from that. I moved my tongue around her mouth she quickly met mine. I opened my eyes in shock, from how much affection we were putting into this one kiss. I pulled my tongue back, and pulled Twilight a little closer to me our bodies now touching each other, I could feel the warmth between us, I felt Twilight's saliva mixing with mine as kept the kiss going. I closed my eyes again as we kept our lips kept pressed, like this was the last moments of our life's and this was the last kiss. It felt like heaven her soft lips pressed with mine. Her mouth was like heaven it felt like we were making magic. I opened my eyes again in shock to see the five other ponies staring at us.
Rarity had a look of joyful tears, like she was reading a romantic kiss in a novel. Applejack just blushed a little bit. Pinkie was actually just quiet for once. Fluttershy was giving me a wink to keep the kiss going. Rainbow Dash just had her mouth wide open, in shock from how long we kept the kiss going. I normally would stop after feeling embarrassed, but I didn't care I closed my eyes again. I pulled Twilight even closer then before, I rubbed my hooves through her soft mane, Twilight's mane felt like little strings of warm and adorable silk. The kiss kept going our tongues played a game of tag almost. I felt Twilight push off of me she just laid on top of me now, looking at me with dreamy and sparkling purple eyes.
"Wow...." I said in shock wiping off a bit of saliva.
"Wow what?" Twilight giggled.
"I thought the other kisses were great, but that one was just wow." I said looking into her eyes, lost in them like a trance.
"That sure was a good kiss, maybe ten minutes or so." Rarity told us in a scientist observing something voice.
"How long were you watching us?" Twilight asked getting off of me.
"The whole thing, let me just tell you if you do that just from kissing in bed you two must be freaks." Rainbow told us in her usual blunt voice.
"Actually we've not tried anything Miss Dash." I said standing up, and poking her with a hoof a bit mad at what she said.
"Oh well sorry." Rainbow said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh dear we have to plan your weeding!" Rarity said in a little girl voice.
"Yes yes yes." Twilight squeaked in joy.
"Oh this will be better then your brothers wedding, mostly because there will be no mean nasty changelings." Pinkie said bouncing up.
"Honey do you care..." I stopped Twilight by putting a hoof in front of her, I smiled and nodded knowing what she was going to ask.
"Well I wish you would kiss me like that." Cadence told Shining Armor in a annoyed tone.
"Hey there soon to be brother in law." Shining Armor told me with a warm smile.
"Thank you." I said quietly.
"For what?" Cadence asked a bit puzzled.
"The words that Shining Armor said made me think, about how much I loved Twilight and when he said welcome to the family. I knew for some reason when he said that, that I wanted to join your family but I also knew that was giving me permission to ask her to marry me." I said looking up at the couple.
"Well then I guess you did notice me giving you permission." Shining Armor said trying to hide his pride.
"Wow, I would hate to see something happen to your little family." A voice said from behind the bushes, his voice sounded eerily creepy.
"Who said that?" Shining Armor asked turning his head to look.
"Wait you can hear him?" I asked.
"Well of course it talks but where the hay is it?" Shining Armor asked frustrated.
"I think the question you should be worried about is who am I not where am I." Slendermane laughed/
"No he doesn't need to be involved in all of this." I called out.
"Why of course he does need to be, he is after all my only victim who escaped, isn't that right my dear Shining Armor?" Slendermane asked laughing coldly.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, looking around until I saw him in a bush.
"Please I'll show you." Slendermane said calmly. I saw a flash back he put into my head making me see him chase Shining Armor. I watched the panicked foal run. It was in fact in the Canterlot gardens. I looked and saw Shining Armor standing next to me, he was standing in fear.
"I remember who this is..." Shining Armor mumbled quietly. I watched the bushes as they moved slowly. I saw Shining Armor still standing, frozen in fear.
"Well then..." I sighed annoyed, as I pulled out my weapon.
"This is again please boy." Slendermane told me laughing me. I jumped up and flew, I dived for the bush where he was hiding and struck. I saw him move out of they way at the last second. Slendermane jumped out and lunged for Shining Armor, I quickly flew in front of him and took a blow to the chest.
"Hmm you're saving him?" Slendermane asked amused.
"Get the hell out of here armor boy, you're going to get yourself killed." I said, slicing at Slendermane's chest.
"You don't give up and you sure are becoming a pest!" Slendermane yelled out, grabbing me with his tentacles and threw me into a statue nearby. I watched as the statue cracked behind me and fell to the ground. The rubble surrounding me, as I lay on my back still watching as Slendermane inched closer to Shining Armor.
"I never forget my prey." Slendermane whispered walking closer slowly, almost taunting us.
"No don't go after him." I coughed out still unable to move.
"Would you rather I go after your sweet love,Twilight? Instead of this one?" Slendermane asked moving closer to me.
"Don't you dare touch her." I said, trying to stand up.
"Look here kid I'll cut you a deal." Slendermane said picking me up by my throat.
"What are you talking about?" I asked looking at his never moving face, yet his voice still had expressions.
"You leave me alone and I'll spare you and your little mare friend." Slendermane said to me.
"How can I trust you when you're trying to kill others!" I shouted, spitting in his face a bit.
"I promise you.." Slendermane said his voice sounding serious.
"First tell me...what are you doing this for?" I asked.
"Revenge, and soon Equestria will fall." Slendermane cackled madly.
"No deal." I told him.
"Well then looks like it's time to visit Twilight." Slendermane said throwing me into a stone wall. I was knocked out from the impact of the hit.
"You have to give him his angel powers back, he'll die without them!" The angel of wisdom shouted.
"You know the price you pay when you fall in love with a mortal, he chose and is still immortal but he can die from wounds, just like us only he is much more vulnerable. You know he will die Despite my best intention he will still die! I tried to warn him!" The Head Angel shouted.
"Then if you won't help him I will." The Angel of Wisdom said.
"If you do it the you shall never be allowed into heaven again." The Head Angel said.
"Then it's been nice knowing you." The Angel of wisdom said. He closed his eyes and his body flew down to Equestria.
"Angel are you alright?" I heard a voice ask me. I slowly opened my eyes to see Shining Armor staring at me, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Quit your crying, I need you to run far away from here." I said standing up and brushing myself off.
"No I can't what about my sister!?" Shining Armor asked helping me up.
"I'll save her, trust me." I whispered grabbing my weapon.
"How he almost killed you, your little flimsy spear can't stop him!" Shining Armor shouted, the tears fell out of his eyes. His body was shaking in fear.
"I need you to stab me with this weapon." I told Shining Armor.
Shining just stood there looking at me. He saw a glimpse of my eyes for a second, he fell to the ground for a second.
"Why would I stab you with your weapon?" Shining asked me. I was about to answer him before I saw a pony land in front of him.
"There you are brother, are you alright?" The pony asked me.
"Wait Angel of Wisdom is that you?" I asked stepping closer to him. He nodded his golden eyes looking at me with concern.
"You do realize your angel powers have been taken from you?" The Angel of Wisdom asked. The Angel of Wisdom glanced at Shining Armor and my weapon, aimed at my chest.
"What is this for?" The Angel of Wisdom asked.
"You'll see." I told him.
"Why can't he stab you?" Shining Armor asked.
"I need a mortal to stab me." I told him.
"For what?" The Angel of Wisdom asked.
"To become..." I stopped seeing Shining Armor grab the weapon. "Well you'll see." I sighed taking off my angelic armor. I stood there staring at Shining Armor in the eyes. I stood there for a second just breathing slowly.
"Ready Angel of War?" Shining Armor asked me.
"Yes." I muttered. I saw the black spear thrust into my chest, I roared in pain a second before I passed out.
"What was the point of that?" Shining Armor asked.
"No idea mortal but let's go save your sister." The Angel of Wisdom said teleporting him and Shining Armor.
"Dammit you angels are persistent!" Slendermane said seeing him and Shining Armor pop up in front of Twilight and her friends. The princesses were there as well.
"My Little Pony please get out of the way." Celestia said to the Angel.
"I'm not a subject here." The Angel of Wisdom told Celestia looking into her eyes. Celestia gasped seeing the white unicorn with a book as a cutie mark. She saw his golden eyes and knew exactly who it was.
"Another angel what is going on here?" Luna asked.
"That." The Angel of Wisdom said pointing to Slendermane. Twilight was froze in fear. The others their fear just settling in before Rarity screamed.
"This is pretty interesting, look at this ten victims and all of them can understand me. This makes the hunt a little less fun, but hey I don't care you are still the prey." Slendermane chuckled, his laughter could be heard through his blank face.
"Enough talk unholy creature." The Angel of Wisdom said. He pulled out his scythe it was pure white just like his coat.
"Funny look at your weapon it looks like death." Slendermane told the Angel of Wisdom, trying to mess with his head.
"That might be true but hey I made the weapon, so I'll let you know your mind tricks will not work on me." The Angel of Wisdom said.
"I guess I should know better after all you are wisdom, but what chance do you have when war could not stop me?" Slendermane asked.
Twilight heard the name and got out of her shock, she pushed her way through her friends and the princesses. She stopped seeing how large Slendermane was compared to her.
"What did you do with him!" Twilight demanded, a tear hit the ground.
"Oh you know possibly kill him." Slendermane chuckled.
"You...no he is an angel." Twilight stammered out. A few more tears hit the ground before Twilight charged her horn. "Damn you to hell!" Twilight shouted before firing a blast at Slendermane's chest. He just chuckled as the huge hole in his chest closed. He quickly grabbed Twilight and threw her into the ground. Twilight made a scream in pain before she tried to stand up.
"Pathetic I thought your special talent was magic." Slendermane told Twilight. Twilight gave a smirk before teleporting behind Slendermane she charged her horn again, this time a few boulders were lifted off the ground. Twilight threw the boulders at Slendermane, he caught the first one but the other two slammed into his chest. Slendermane laid on the ground before he stood up his horn glowing a pure black.
"Get out of here all of you!" The Angel of Wisdom shouted. Celestia gave a nod before teleporting the group out of harms way.
"Pretty brave to face me all alone." Slendermane said. He used one of tentacles to form a blade. The Angel of Wisdom quickly readied into a combat stance. He charged his horn before teleporting to a few spots striking at Slendermane every time. Slendermane caught on to his battle ethnics, Slendermane flew up into the sky and used one of tentacles to grab the Angel of Wisdom.
"Behind you." The Angel of Wisdom said before pulling the scythe across one of his legs. The leg fell to the ground before the Angel of Wisdom teleported. Slendermane's leg quickly generated back. A bit of black blood fell down to the ground.
"Did you honestly think you could outsmart me? I am the Angel of Wisdom." The Angel of Wisdom chuckled.
"Very cocky for an angel." Slendermane said.
"Good I was trying to appear cocky." The Angel of Wisdom said.
"To bad you should have been paying attention." Slendermane warned the Angel of Wisdom. The Angel of Wisdom quickly tried to teleport but his body was wrapped in a black substance.
"Good bye Angel of Wisdom." Slendermane said. The Angel of Wisdom closed his eyes, he knew he was going to die right now.
"Enough of you taking ponies away from me!" Twilight shouted firing a huge lavender bolt of magic towards the cocoon. It quickly dispersed into thin air.
"You again, well two is a company." Slendermane said.
"And three is a crowd you bastard!" I shouted jumping in front of Slendermane.
"Who are you?" Twilight asked.
"Just call me Zero." I said with a smirk. I drew out my black spear and flipped it around.
"The Angel of War, what a surprise but the new look. I didn't expect that oh and a sword so there is more to your weapon." Slendermane said inspecting it.
"No this isn't Angel is it?" Twilight asked.
"I was an angel...now I'm a demon, I'll explain later." I said. Twilight stared into my red eyes she quickly looked away. My coat was almost as dark as Slendermanes suit, and well I was a unicorn now.
"Ah so you are no longer an angel, but a demon how?" Slendermane asked.
"You...I should have guessed from your weapon. You are the one who is half angel and half demon." The Angel of Wisdom said in shock.
"How do you think I've been able to go through hell and back, I blend right in and besides it's pretty funny seeing the look on the demons faces. You know when they are betrayed by one of their own." I chuckled before ramming Slendermane through the chest. I ripped through his body and swung again this time across his neck.
"Amazing he still has sanity left." The Angel of Wisdom whispered.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.
"Well we have had angels that have transformed into demons, but they lose all sanity." The Angel of Wisdom told Twilight.
"Perhaps he is not a demon?" Twilight asked herself mostly.
"Are you afraid?" I asked her.
"I don't know yet." Twilight sighed out as a tear hit me in the face. I felt my body being tugged at by the front leg, Slendermane quickly pulled me up to his face.
"It's over." Slendermane said, he put a few of his tentacles into the shapes of spears.
"Bad move." I whispered before I rammed my sword into his face. He yelped in pain before he dropped me.
"Damn you, no matter I'm immortal after all." Slendermane chuckled.
"That's another thing I figured out your secret, you might regenerate fast but if I cut you enough your wounds will stop healing." I told him.
"So you figured it out did you, good fucking job, but for now I must be going I'll be back again." Slendermane chuckled before he left.
"You coward come back and fight me!" I shouted into the sky. The red in my eyes shined a bit in the little bit of sunlight there was left.
I walked over to Twilight and Wisdom.
"Are you mad?" I asked Twilight.
"I don't get it are you a demon?" Twilight asked.
"I can check that." Wisdom said as he used his magic to scan me over.
"Incredible he is neither an angel or a demon, but rather just a pony with powers of them both mixed." Wisdom exclaimed.
"Before I was interrupted I was going to tell you, I'm more like a mortal now. Give it a second the demonic blood in my veins will go away." I said as I looked down at my body and saw my eyes and everything else stayed the same.
"You know I kinda like this new look on you." Twilight whispered pulling me in for a kiss.
"Hold up a second before you two get really romantic here." Wisdom said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Are you an angel with the powers of a demon?" Wisdom asked.
"That's why they call you Wisdom, you sure are a fast learner." I chuckled before Twilight shoved me into the ground. She played with my now spiky looking black mane.
Comfort and Pancakes with a side of Freaky
I awoke to the smell of...pancakes? I shot up from the couch as I was trying to figure out where the smell was coming from. I stretched my body and wings as I stood up a few joints cracking. I walked into the kitchen to see Twilight cooking breakfast.
"Good morning sleepyhead." She teased playfully and kindly.
"Hey..." I yawned out still waking up slowly.
"You sleep well?" Twilight asked.
"Like an angel..." I said to her.
"Hmm never heard that expression before." Twilight said in wonder.
"Oh well I just made it up." I lied as I remember the saying from heaven. My memory came back a little bit I remembered the book I read and remembered living in heaven.
"Oh I think it's pretty good." Twilight said to me smiling.
"Thanks but I doubt it's as good as your cooking." I said eyeing the pancakes on the stove being cooked.
"How do you know if you'll like them if you've never had them?" Twilight asked.
"Oh please by the smell, they seem like they will taste amazing." I said.
"I know the same feeling I've never cooked for someon....err somepony else." I corrected myself at the last minute.
"Well of course you're an alicorn you're royalty you have your servants cook for you." Twilight said playfully.
"Hmm I think I don't remember having servants. I just remembered living alone." I told her trying not to mention the heaven part.
"Well that is strange an alicorn with no servants you sure are different." Twilight said putting the pancakes on the plates.
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked looking at her.
"No it's good to be different. Ponies always call me different because I would rather learn something and read a book, and stare at the sky." Twilight told me.
"Well I think that is good we need more smart ponies." I told her with a bit of blush on my face as I started noticing I was becoming a bit more attracted to the mare.
"Thanks at least somepony understands my point of few." Twilight giggled as she grabbed the syrup.
'God that giggle is adorable.' I thought looking at her move around the kitchen grabbing everything. "Um is there anything I can do to help?" I asked snapping back into reality.
"You could....no wait I all ready did that....no you're fine." Twilight said as she slipped on a bit of spilled pancake batter. I reacted on pure instinct and flew over to catch the falling mare. I felt her warm embrace, I didn't want to let go of her.
"Thank....thank you." Twilight stammered with a bit of an embarrassed blush.
"It was nothing really." I said smiling at her looking into her eyes.
'Those eyes are so beautiful I could stare at them forever and never get bored.' I though still staring into them.
'His eyes are so kind.' Twilight thought staring into my light brown eyes. We both realize what happened and snap back into reality both of us blushing a deep red.
"Um well then." Twilight said shifting around a little bit.
"That was awkward." I chuckled lightly rubbing my hoof on the back of my head.
"So um...shall we eat?" Twilight asked.
"Yea...." I said as I grabbed the syrup with magic and poured it on the pancakes. "Oh...the..mmmm..these are amazing." I said with food in my mouth. 'How am I using magic?' I asked myself still chewing the food.
"You really think so?" Twilight asked with a bright smile on her face.
"Oh yes I would have to go in and have pay a few hundred bits to eat pancakes like these." I said to her after remembering seeing the currency of the town in the newspaper as ponies were asking for five hundred thousand bit rewards if they found the fillies.
"You're just saying that." Twilight said.
"No I'm not these are amazing." I told her a blush still on my face.
"Thank you..." Twilight said the blush returning on her lavender face. After a bit of flirting and eating I walked off into the living room and toke off my cold metal armor that I passed out in.
"Wow you have an amazing coat I've never seen one like this." Twilight said walking into the living room.
She eyed my pure white coat with a few gold stripes on my legs and a jet black mane with silver streaks going through my tail and mane.
"Please I'm sure most ponies look like me white is a common color." I said looking at myself in a mirror.
"Yes but the gold stripes on your legs oh my friend Rarity would die if she saw you." Twilight said inspecting me all over. A knock at the door happened while Twilight was looking me all over.
"Coming." She called out going to the door.
"Here is your newspaper Miss Sparkle." A young colt said handing her the newspaper. She looked at the newspaper before her eyes went wide with shock.
"What is it?" I asked moving next to her to see the newspaper.
Local hood fashionista Rarity woke up to find her sister Sweetie Belle no where in Ponyville today. Police have found no traces of the filly either. Rarity is offering a twenty thousand bit reward to who ever finds her sister.
"Oh I have to go see my friend Rarity!" Twilight shouted throwing the newspaper.
"Can I come with you?" I asked her.
"Yes now come on!" Twilight shouted running out of the door. The minute I stepped outside I got strange looks from all over.
"Come on ignore them!" Twilight shouted pulling me.
"Oh yea right." I said running with her. I heard a few whispers from time to time of who is that alicorn with Twilight. Some others are when did we get another alicorn and why is he in Ponyville? Others were whistles from mares who saw me pass by. We eventually reached Rarity's house out of breath Twilight pushes the door open and runs to her friend.
"Oh Rarity!" Twilight yelled hugging her friend in tears.
"Twi....Twiligh....Twilight." Rarity sobbed out tears running down her face.
"I heard about what happened I'm so sorry." Twilight said still hugging her friend.
"Thank you the others came by as well, but they don't understand the pain that you and I have after all. You lost Spike a few years ago." Rarity said sniffling.
"I know it's tough." Twilight said softly to her friend.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked walking next to the two mares.
"Sorry darling but we are closed for today." Rarity said to me.
"No he is with me.." Twilight said to Rarity who suddenly changed her mood from sad to a bit of joy.
"Oh Twilight an alicorn and he looks smashing who knew..." Rarity said looking at me.
"Whoa there. She is just helping me until I can get back on my hooves. You see I lost my memory so she was kind enough to let me stay with her till I recover." I said to Rarity.
"Oh well then Twilight if you don't start taking any interest in him I'll have to make my move." Rarity whispered into Twilight's ear. Twilight just giggled before Rarity went back into tears remembering what happened to her sister.
"Rarity calm down. I know it's tough but don't cry to much you'll worry me sick." Twilight said.
"What if she is gone and I can't find her?" Rarity asked.
"No they'll find her if not we'll find her." Twilight said trying to calm down her friend.
"Um is there any place the police have not searched?" I asked trying to think logically.
"The forest that is it." Rarity told me pointing to the forest in the back of the house.
"I'll be back." I told the two mares walking to the back of the house and taking off to fly over the forest to look for clues or evidence.
"Such a gentle colt." Rarity said looking to the back of the house.
"Well he sure is nice and when I told him my name he said a very pretty name for a very pretty mare." Twilight said.
"Oh darling I think he likes you!" Rarity shouted wiping away her tears.
"You think so?" Twilight asked with a bit of joy in her voice.
"Oh I know so!" Rarity said with a girlish squee.
"No that is crazy talk no pony will ever like me I'm just dorky old Twilight. I've lived here for a while and no stallion or colt even notices me even Fluttershy got a date before me so far I'm the only one who has not." Twilight sighed softly.
"Did you notice anything else he does?" Rarity asked Twilight.
"Well sometimes he zones out when he stares at me. He has even blushed a few times other than that nothing else." Twilight said.
"Give it a little more time if he likes you his signs will become more noticed." Rarity said. Twilight nodded with a smile on her face. I flew until I noticed something a piece of paper and a flashlight in the middle of a clearing. I swoop down and look at the items more carefully. I pick them up with magic but stop after hearing a voice in my head.
"So much....pain....all this suffering now I'll make them suffer!" The voice in my head shouted showing images of the town burning down and ponies being taken and murdered.
"Who is there?" I asked looking around.
"You know me. I can tell." The voice said.
"No I don't!" I shout scaring off a few birds.
"Then I'll show you." The voice said showing an image of a faceless creature a red tie the color of blood a black suit darker then the night sky. He was a pony no doubt in fact an alicorn.
"So you're the so called famous Slendermane. Show your self coward!" I shouted at nothing particular.
"I all ready did, and now I'll take this town down and move onto the next. Soon nothing will remain but my hatred!" The voice shouted into my head.
"I don't fear you." I said still looking for him.
"Perhaps you do, perhaps you don't but I'll still kill you and take those you care for down as well." The voice said before leaving my thoughts leaving me a bit stunned. I quickly shook my head and flew back to Rarity's. I landed down to drop the flash light and paper off at her house.
"Do you know any of these items?" I asked Rarity.
"The flashlight that's it. No sign of Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked as she pointed to the flashlight.
"No." I admit hiding my head down after seeing those images.
"What's with the paper it has an X with a circle what the hay does it mean?" Twilight asked.
"Flip it over." I told her.
"Don't let it touch you what does that mean?" Twilight asked.
"It's Slendermane." I said.
"Who in the hoof is that?" Twilight asked.
"A great and powerful evil....who seeks to destroy us." I told her my voice sounding serious.
"How exactly do you know?" Rarity asked.
"It spoke to me in my head and gave me images of destruction...those damn images and then he showed me him in my thoughts." I told the two mares..
"What does he look like?" Rarity asked.
"He has no eyes....no wait he has no damn face it's just blank! Yet it can still hear and see you, even smell you that face it's just blank I've never seen anything like it. He wears a suit and has a blood red tie he is also an alicorn. The other thing is he has these strange tentacles but that's not that scary part it's his horrible face I can't get the image out of my head!" I shouted slamming my hoof on the ground tears coming down my face.
"At first I thought you were crazy just a second ago....but that look of fear in your face....it's scaring me." Twilight said walking over and hugging me.
"I remember who I am and where I'm from." I said still in Twilight's caring embrace.
Twilight awoke seeing the bright rays of the sun shining in her adorable lavender coat. The warm rays made her smile as she she felt like a new mare today and she had no idea why. She sat up slowly in her bed roughing up her covers a little more. Twilight turned to the side of the bed and looked down at me still in the same spot as last night on the floor next to her.
'Hmm was that just a dream last night...no it was so real.....my fear of that.....that thing! I remember his face....but....no he had no face yet I could hear him talk! How could he hear me with no ears and the laughing it looked so real like he could laugh through that no face of his. Then the angel protected me I wish I would have never went to see what he was talking about.' Twilight thought looking out the window before slowly getting out of bed. I was snoring a bit which made Twilight do an adorable giggle. She walked slowly on her tip hoofs to make sure she did not wake me and turned to face me she sat there just looking at me.
'Could it be true what Rarity told her....that maybe she was in love with the angel....no come on Twilight even if you did like him.....there is no way he could like you all you are is an egghead unicorn who will never find love.' Twilight thought a tear rolled down her cheek hitting the wooden floor with a small splash.
'What would my friends think? I mean how do you come out and say hey I just kissed an angel while he was sleeping. You just don't go out and say something like that or ponies will think you're a freak kissing somepony while they are asleep. I mean one little kiss won't hurt right? Why is this is so hard I mean what do I say if he finds me staring at him...Would I be like oh hey I hope you don't mind me staring at you I just wanted to kiss you while you were sleeping. What if I never told anypony or maybe if I used a memory spell to forget this after I kissed him but then you would never remember your first kiss... If he didn't wake up I would never have to tell him but then the guilt would drive me crazy! No Twilight you can do this just kiss him and get it over with maybe you won't even like him after you kiss him. Yea maybe that could happen right. You know what I'm doing it I'm going to get my first kiss!' Twilight thought lowering hear head.....
"Oh you're so brave." Rarity said trying to flirt with Wisdom, after meeting up in Canterlot. Wisdom blushed a bit, before he and Rarity broke off to talk somewhere more private. Rainbow looked over at me and was amazed to see me change colors.
"So wait you were pure white, then you were pitch black, and now your gray?" Rainbow asked looking really confused.
"Well it's a good color between the two so it would be gray, so this is what it feels like to be a mortal..." I said looking at my body it felt different much weaker, in fact my weapon shrunk size with me. I guess I was also smaller then the average stallion judging how Twilight was almost taller then me. Actually I was kinda on a step giving me a inch or two...which would mean I'm exactly one inch shorter then her.
"Anyway the funny thing is I can't feel any of my immortal strength at all, but I still feel immortal but according to the customs, I'm a mortal now I guess I should get used to this." I said as I looked at myself before I moved a step down.
"There is one good thing that came out of this." Twilight said with a smirk.
"What is that? I mean now I can die! How am I'm going to stop Slendermane if he can just kill me?" I asked much louder then I intended.
"You saved all of us." Twilight said brushing up against me.
"That's my job of course I was going to save you!" I shouted trying to still look a little taller then Twilight,
"There is another good thing from this as well." Twilight giggled.
"What is that?" I asked looking up at her.
"I found out your shorter then me." Twilight giggled. I sighed before I picked up my weapon. I looked back before I closed the doors, I looked down the hall way I saw looks of frightened ponies staring at me.
"Which way is out of here?" I asked. A few ponies pointed straight.
"Thank you." I said walking straight,
"Dammit how can they all not care about this, they all just almost died. They don't even care instead they would rather make jokes." I sighed out
"Should I go after him?" Twilight asked.
"It's up to you." Celestia said. Twilight excused herself before rushing out of the castle.
I continued my walk before I had the idea to craft myself some armor.
'What did those humans calm themselves, was it pal aha it was a paladin! But wait that is so original how about something like a demon hunter?' I thought to myself. I nodded before I headed off to look for a blacksmith in the town. I walked down the streets before I found a blacksmith. I walked in and saw a older looking stallion reading something. I looked and saw him reading the paper about the recent demon slaying.
"Interesting am I right demons in Equestria, never thought I would have seen something like this before." The Blacksmith said looking at me.
"It was a simple demon nothing else." I said,
"How would you know, and the thing was the size of a barn!" The Blacksmith said.
"I know because I was the one who killed him, well with the help of the elements of harmony." I said.
"Really kid at least get your facts straight before you lie, the paper said it was a alicorn who killed him.
"Close your eyes and trust me on this old stallion." I said. He rolled his eyes before he closed them. I placed my horn on top of his head, and showed him all of the event that happened since my stay.
I watched his eye widen in shock when I pulled away.
"Whoa that is crazy um what can I do to help an angel out?" The Blacksmith said.
"I go by the term of demon hunter now, and I could use some armor.....oh yea and your best bow." I said.
"I have nothing in stock but I just got a fresh shipment of steel in, even some heavy armor plating." The Blacksmith said.
"How about mail armor?" I asked.
"I could make that in a few hours, and the bow I could have a friend help out with." The Blacksmith said. I threw a large bag of bits on the table.
"You know you over payed right?" He asked.
"I'm paying you extra to hurry it up I'll be close by." I said walking out.
'Where can he be?' Twilight thought to herself.
'I guess being mortal does mean I can act much more different, not always so valor like.' I thought before somepony knocked into me,
"Angel is that you?" Twilight asked.
"Yes oh my god I'm sorry Twilight, I didn't mean to be so mean I just wanted to try it out. Well let's just say not my strong suit of being subtle, while being rude." I said with a blush.
"It isn't honestly if this is how you're going to act maybe we shouldn't be together." Twilight said.
"Perhaps it is for the best then, I said I was sorry! Here you are with your friends all joking, do you all just ignore the facts you almost died!" I yelled, noticing we were getting much more stares then intended. I casted a memory spell wiping the memory from the other ponies minds, I then teleported Twilight and I into the weapon smith the blacksmith recommended to me."One second." I said to Twilight.
"I was told from the blacksmith you are very good at your job, I need you to make a bow out of gold. Name the price I have the bits, I need the string to be from pure silk, and the arrows need to be steel tipped with flint." I said.
"How does the price of thirty thousand bits sound?" The weapon smith said with a smug look, thinking I was not able to pay.
"Done and here is another ten thousand to work at the blacksmiths place." I said throwing the bags of money on the counter. The weapon smith stood there for a second, before he grabbed his things and left.
"Why did you just run off like that. I'm mad because I was worried about you!" Twilight shouted. I used my magic again to put a soundproof barrier around the shop, and for a nice final touch flipped the sign to close.
"You must be oblivious to the situation you all almost died, and you all are acting perfectly fine. I don't know what I would do...do if I lost you." I said looking up from the ground. I could still see she was still upset with me.
"Look I'm sorry too but you can't just run off like that." Twilight said, I didn't let her finish.
"I'm not allowed to leave with our your permission now, what are you some princess who can order me around. Well let's see I don't see any wings around your body so it looks like you're not a princess so why don't you just stop trying to boss me around!" I shouted before I left outside. 'Hmm my emotions are much stronger now that I'm not an immortal. I forgot I left my sword in the shop, I quickly ran into the store seeing Twilight crying, strangely I didn't care. I used my magic to grab my weapon, I then levitated a book out of my saddlebags.
I read through the pages before I close the book, still seeing Twilight crying I sighed."Look if you're just gonna cry leave." I said. She looked at me and left slamming the door. I concentrated on breaking my weapon into two small daggers, with every fiber of my being I did it. I laid down for a moment before I closed my eyes. Little did I know in a few minutes I passed out.
Twilight came back in and looked at me. She sighed. 'Why has he changed so much?' Twilight thought.
'The changing from an angel to a mortal is tough transition, in fact most lose their sanity and go mad.' The Angel of Wisdom thoughts replied back to Twilight.
'But what about me? I'm so mad at him.' Twilight thought.
'It is because you love him. As he battles to maintain his sanity you won't lose your sanity but at times you will have strong random emotional changes. You must resist these changes, as he must fight to maintain his sanity.' The Angel of Wisdom replied back.
'What about you, you're not battling your sanity, why him?' Twilight asked.
'Simple I am Wisdom I knew how to deal with these problems before they happened, as for him well he is half demon so his sanity battle has been going of for years, his angel side is now gone rendering him to madness. He is doing very well though, give him about two more hours he will be fine....for a while. He can never truly have a mortal sanity such as you and now I have, he will always struggle to deal with his inner demon.' Wisdom said. Twilight looked down at my now sleeping form she smiled warmly before kissing me on the cheek. She teleported us to the castle as well as the weapon and blacksmith.
"My dear apologies, but I think it is best to lock your fiance in a cell for a while." Wisdom said.
"Why is that?" Twilight asked.
"It appears I made a miscalculation, he has had a sudden rush of his demonic energy conflict with his mortal energy." Wisdom said looking at my sleeping body.
"Just please don't hurt him, I might be mad at him but I still love him." Twilight said with a saddened look on her face.
"I would not worry about us hurting him, it should him self you should worry about." Wisdom said.
"He is strong I know he can pull through it." Twilight said.
"Let us hope so." Princess Luna said. Wisdom quickly levitated my body into a pure gold cell, constructed by him.
'Let it go you all ready lost.' A voice said.
'Lost what?' I replied.
'The battle against Slendermane, just give up succumb to the inner darkness inside of you, join him and we could rule this pathetic mortal world.' The voice said.
'I made a vow to protect this world, how can I destroy something I vowed to protect.' I said noticing I was talking to my inner demon.
'Please we both know you wish to be immortal again, more then anything so why fight it!?" My inner demon replied.
"Whoa is he sleeping? But how is he shooting out magic?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yes it is not physical harm I was worried about, he is literately battling his mind, so it can cause mental harm. A unicorns magic is used from their mind and heart. We must hope his heart is stronger then his mind.
I looked at him, his red eyes the sleek black coat and the wings. My inner demon was a Pegasus. He had black trails of smoke coming from off of his hooves.
'Look at you such a pitiful specimen, we used to love the bloodshed the adrenaline, the blood rushing in our faces of those we killed! Now you are trying to save a mortal world, what have the mortals done for you?' He asked.
'They have done nothing but still I must protect them I vowed to!' I shouted.
'If you let me control the body we can be so much more.' He said his black forked tongue looking like a snakes.
'Perhaps.' I said.
"Yes he is slowly bending to my will, soon the ex Angel of war shall be mine, soon the world will bow to me!" My inner demon said as black smoke trails started to trail from me.
"Angel no please fight him!" Twilight shouted.
'Twilight!' I shouted before I looked at my inner demon.
'Well I see you have a new spark to fight for, your true love when I take control of your body I'll grant her the honor of being my first kill, and I'll make sure she suffers long and hard, so that even her soul shall feel the pain.' He laughed at me.
'You won't do a damn thing.' I said running at him, before he grabbed me and threw me into a wall that was built by my mind.
'You're a mortal bow just give it up.' My inner demon said.'
'Never!' I shouted rushing at him this time he flew up and came crashing down on my back. I fell and struggled to get up, as I was about to be bucked me in the face cracking my jaw.
"Wait are those wings, is he turning into a Alicorn again?" Rarity asked.
"No as you can see his horn is shrinking, this might not be bad we can tell who is winning based on if the wings are growing or disappearing, or if the horn is doing as I said with the wings." Wisdom said.
I used my magic to fire multiple bolts, a few hit him. I was able to stand up again. I used my magic to heal my wounds, I looked and saw demonic blood making a trail.
'A battle inside of my mind, that would mean my magic is stronger then pure strength.' I said using my horn as light. I spotted him before I put a holy binding around him.
I looked at him before he whispered a few words. 'Remember this you might have won today, but I will take control of your body and when that day happens I will laugh as I watch your world around you crumble.' He laughed before he vanished.
"Wait I see no wings, that means he won!" Twilight shouted in joy using her magic to dissipate the cage. I woke up and stretched. My plans on getting up were stopped as Twilight laid down on top of me, her warm coat felt so nice against my freezing body. She leaned in and kissed me,
I returned the favor but was soon interrupted by Wisdom who held a note book out.
"Ah I see you want notes, it turns out I can use my angel spells as well as my demonic spells. I also know a majority of the mortal spells. That is all I have to tell you for now." I said walking with Twilight to a room she made me follow her into.
"Well I think you deserve a reward." Twilight said with a seductive look on her face. Suddenly a large crash sound was heard. The sky grew a bit darker as a few more crashes were heard.
"I think I'll have to take a rain check, I need to train more with this bow, and it sounds like a target has just arrived." I said.
"I think it's more then a few." Twilight said, as she looked out of the window. The windows started to shake as the more impacts were happening. I slipped out of the shadows and hid behind a few buildings.
'Stay safe.' I thought as Twilight ran to her friends.
'You too.' She thought using her magic to teleport to the castle.
"Well now you demon scum, I think it's time I tried this weapon out." I said aiming my bow at a Hellfire Imp the small creature was to slow to notice the arrow pierce him through the heart. His body was pinned to the wall as he twitched for a minute before he finally died. His black blood dripped to the ground corrupting the grass around it. I quickly ran to another wall seeing a few imps standing by each other. 'This is going to be harder now with being a mortal.' I thought looking at the group. I quickly aimed my bow and fired an arrow at one of the imps pinning it into the ground.
"Kill it!" They shouted rushing at me there sharp claws grazing my flesh. I used my blade to slice off one of the demons heads. The other two just ran away in fear.
"No you don't!" I shouted firing another arrow hitting both of them. Their bodies twitched as they kept running before falling into the earth. "Disgusting beast." I said looking at the vile creatures.
"Help please somepony!" A mare cried out around the building I was by. I quickly ran sliding into the open slashing another imps legs. He fell to the ground before I stabbed him through his skull. "Thank you." She said before quickly running off.
"What the hell is going on around here?" I asked looking at the sky. "Well now it looks like they just won't stop coming." I said seeing more civilians caught out in the open. "Everypony this way follow me to the castle!" I shouted seeing them turn to my direction and follow me.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight shouted bursting through the chamber room doors.
"I know Twilight we are preparing for an invasion as we speak." Celestia said looking up to the sky. 'I hope you send back up.' She thought looking up.
Author's Note
I forgot all about this story, so I figured I'd give a quick little update before starting to fix up the old chapters. Two years and a whole 500 words not even I know it sucks but I'll get to this story more often from now on.
