Aaron and the mares approached the Everfree border with trepidation. They had passed both the abandoned castle and Zecora's hut, finding many bodies of Male Caribou in both areas. Some of the intact corpses looked like they were sacrifices and others seemed to be nothing more than gore bags. As the group moved through the trees he flashed back "How long were we in the Everfree?" Tempest asked Twilight when the group had finally got past the horrid carnage. "The Caribou didn't show this kind of cruelty to their troops when we escaped." The mare gripped her new shotgun tighter as the group moved, glad their friend had given the two means of defense besides their bodies and magic.
"No more than 6 weeks," Twilight replied, finding herself just as grateful as she swept her pistol in an arc around herself practicing her training from her brother in loaded firearms. "We did have to find the Dragon Balls by sensing their otherworldly energies; it's not like I could have built a radar to find them." She replied, trying to put some levity into her voice.
Aaron smiled at Twilight’s mentioning of a Dragon Radar as he thought, 'If only you knew, Twilight.'
"You’re right though, Tempest, this is not their normal behavior even with them looking for me as their primary target. This is worrying but not a major problem yet, so the fewer of them against us the better, in my opinion."
The whole time Aaron felt a familiar sensation from seeing the mutilated corpses, something was off in the way that they looked like they were sacrifices to something. His other lifetime memories almost hit him upside the head with flashbacks. The very possibility that the demons from his life as the Doom Slayer had followed him kept him quiet until they reached the edge of the Everfree.
Ghidorah and a few of the more brave Everfree creatures had been following them, making sure to guard them against anything Everfree might throw at them in its impotent rage against the Caribou. Now that they were on the edge of the Everfree near Fluttershy's cottage a manticore with a familiar scar on its left paw stepped forward, nuzzling into Aaron's side as to get his attention.
"Hey, who’s…" Aaron said as he was bumped out of his thoughts by the action. "Oh, it's just you." This particular manticore, surprisingly the cat was a female, had been one of the animals to answer his call alongside Ghidorah. He knew of the beast's connection with the Mane Six, in particular one pink-haired pegasus. "Worried about Fluttershy huh?" The lioness nodded remembering the kind goddess that had saved her all that time ago. "Don't worry I'll make sure she's safe, you and Ghidorah along with the other creatures of the Everfree should stay back here. We'll need a clear route to get out of here. I suggest you take on whoever runs this way to give us that route." This caused both mighty beings of myth and nature to growl in anticipation of a fight.
"You hear that big guy?" Tempest asked the golden Hydra. "We're trusting you with our exfil that means we're trusting you with our lives. Don't disappoint us."
Twilight walked up to the large lioness who had moved to stand guard next to the reptilian beast. "Thank you for trusting us and I'm sorry for what we did back then," gingerly Twilight hugged the creature around its neck, not sure if it was willing to be touchy-feely considering what had happened that Summer Solstice Night so long ago, but also not wanting to hold back her gratitude. "We'll be back with her, I promise."
Instead of growling in light anger, the lioness purred with pleasure at actually being appreciated before lightly shaking Twilight off of her, reminding the princess what she needed to do with that action.
"You guys have a history with that one, don't you?" Aaron asked, trying to distract himself from his encroaching worries. "I'm surprised she let you touch her, considering what you and your group did on the night of the Summer Sun Celebration." Aaron summoned his Heavy Cannon, activating the precision scope to allow him to scan the surroundings past the river. Not seeing any immediate threats he continued the conversation. "Care to share?"
"Well, it turned out that the thorn stuck in her paw had a mental compulsion woven into it. Every time it jabbed into her paw, it caused her to go berserk and try to attack the first being it saw." Twilight explained as she walked back over to Aaron "Our attacks broke her out of her berserk state, allowing Fluttershy to approach without danger. A few days later Fluttershy checked in on her and found out that she was a mother that had been forced away from her young cubs and was trying to return to them when she was stuck with Nightmare Moon's thorn. Luckily, she hadn't seen her Cubs at that point, and never actually harmed anything as we encountered her almost as soon as the thorn had gotten stuck into her paw." Twilight took point next to Aaron as Tempest checked their backs past the beasts.
"Rear is clear, Sir!" Tempest said as she fell in formation on the other side of Aaron ready to exit the forest. "Anything ahead so far?"
"Front is clear, soldier," Aaron said as he did one last check when he didn't find anything he turned to the two mares beside him, sounding dead serious in his tone. "Now once we exit the forest we look for survivors with the priority being females. Even if they're willing in their servitude, we remove them from the Caribou and save any cow we find, whether that be Caribou or Cattle." Seeing the two about to protest he shut them down. "No ifs, ands, or buts! These females have been put under mind control, even if it's a mild compulsion we know that they are being controlled, remember this if you find any of them struggling against you. In that situation knock them out but don't harm them any further. Of the residents of Ponyville, our main priority is the other elements but anyone we can save is worth their weight in titanium understood?" Both mares nodded. "Remember you're going to have to kill the male Caribou but try to save any ponies that follow them. Again they're under mind control. Everyone that we save now is one that we can free later. Above all, we Rip and Tear until it is done!"
In response, the two mares followed him out of the cover of the canopy, the group of three slowly approaching the area around Fluttershy's cottage. While approaching the haven for animals that was Fluttershy's cottage they heard the roar of a bear and the apparent sounds of a female struggling. This was followed by the laughter of many men.
"Bitch is taking it like she loves it." They could hear one say as they got closer, the sounds of slapping flesh repeatedly occurring. "Holy hell, I want in her next!"
"More Harry!" Fluttershy screamed. "Fill my slutty pussy with your throbbing cock!" The group had finally crested the bridge that lead to Fluttershy's cottage and were able to see Harry the bear fucking Fluttershy's pussy while a group of Caribou males watched. One of the nude males was holding Angel bunny in the air with a knife at his throat.
"Oh wow!" Twilight said as both she and Tempest lowered their weapons. "Fluttershy is still a red collar and she's letting Harry fuck her out in the open." Both mares started playing with themselves at the sight, not realizing their actions. "She would never do that before. We all knew that she was a xenophile, but she never really did it out in the open even though she likes being watched."
"No kidding," Tempest said, tweaking her nipples "That one time you cast a protection spell on her and let her get eaten by that boa that was so hot!"
While he noticed how the two acted in response to the admittedly incredibly hot sight of Fluttershy letting herself get railed by a bear, what Aaron was focused on were the Caribou surrounding the Pegasus, most specifically the one who was holding Angel, it was obvious from Fluttershy's unconcerned actions that Angel had tried to stop Fluttershy from exposing herself like this and the male Caribou had grabbed him without her noticing. Threatening him with a knife to his throat, this sight brought back flashbacks of Daisy, his pet rabbit, her head on a pike in front of his home to the forefront of Aaron's mind, causing Aaron as the Doom Slayer to become enraged to the point where a purple and red aura appeared around the armor informing him "quad damage and berserk power-ups activated."
"Your lives are forfeit! You shall know why I am called the Doom Slayer, the Hell Walker, the one who crosses the dimensions! Time to rip and tear!" He shouted as he dashed forward his new wings pushing him faster than he normally would move in a similar way to his Dash but without needing to be recharged after two movements.
"What-!" Was all the Caribou holding Angel was able to say before a burning crimson blade attached to a metallic handle was shoved through his chest causing him to drop both the knife and Angel who ran away.
All the while Fluttershy was getting railed even harder by Harry who was shielding her from the brutality, keeping her from breaking from seeing her Angel threatened. Or at least that is what the bear had hoped but part of Fluttershy's trembling wasn't pleasure, it had been fear, having noticed what was happening just on the edge of her vision. She had been worried that Angel would have been killed in that time and had continued to let Harry fuck her with abandon hoping to either keep the attention of the Caribou on her or keep Angel from being killed by showing how much she loved being the pet of the Caribou.
Now that her little boy was free, she started to truly enjoy what was happening to her, the magic in the air increasing her figure as she began to accept her place under Harry. All the while her mind remained intact yet her more depraved side was finally reveling in being free, being able to show what she really wanted. "Give me all your cum Harry! Fill me up with that hot bear cum and give me a foal!" The mare began squirting from the pleasure, no longer being forcibly edged by her own worry. "I want it! Oh gods, do I need it"
Aaron quickly summoned his other Crucible as he sliced through the dead caribou with the one stabbed through its chest. Using the second one to block the blade of the only Caribou to wear anything, a set of armored pauldrons and sleeves. "You bastards will die and she will be free!" He said as a song began playing through his suit's intercom. "You ain't outdeviling me!" He growled, the music breaking both Twilight and Tempest out of the semi-trance that they had been in. Both of them lifted their weapons and immediately taking shots at the Caribou about to attack Aaron.
The music spurred Harry on, now pinning Fluttershy's head to the ground with a paw, leaving her in the perfect position to truly plow her. "Yes, harder!" She now helpless mare said as Harry rammed his cock into her hitting her G-spot perfectly with each stroke. "FILL ME!"
The remaining six Caribou, along with their captain the armored buck, focused on Aaron, his two blades of Argent plasma catching their attention with how they glowed a fiery crimson, similar to their benefactors' more vicious weapons. "The bitch is already free, she willingly joined us! As you can see she's enjoying being railed by that bear and after that, we're going to fill her up and make sure that she's pregnant just like the piece of meat she is." The captain said as he began to swing his other blade at Aaron's chest which was blocked by the armored demigod's other sword. "The swords you wield remind me of a particular set of axes from our benefactors. Call themselves Marauders. Do you know them?"
"Know them, I'm their Armageddon, you motherfucker!" Aaron said no longer holding back and using the true potential of the mixture of berserk and quad damage he rapidly spun around and kicked one of the Caribou, literally blowing it apart with how powerful he was at the moment. "And now I'm yours!"
"Fuck this shit, man, I'm not dealing with another one of those assholes!" One of the five remaining soldiers said as he dropped his weapon and ran into the forest. The roar of a lion was heard seconds later along with his scream.
"Oh, crapbaskets." That was all the captain said before Aaron brutally beheaded him turning to the remaining four he unsummoned his blades putting up his fists, which were crackling in the mixture of quad damage, berserk, and a charged blood punch.
Before any of them could react, he dashed forward once again with both of his arms out to his sides as if he had been going to double clothesline them but he already had gone through the men. After a second, Fluttershy screamed in climax as the men completely disintegrated into a mist of blood and the song paused.
"It's okay to come out, Angel. I'm not mad at you, nor your mother." Aaron says the power flowing through his suit burned off all of the blood that was on him. "You done, Harry?" He asked the bear who had climaxed at the exact same moment as Fluttershy.
The bear nodded, removing his paw from her head. He had only pressed down lightly keeping her pinned like that as she had always enjoyed the face-down ass up position for her climaxes.
"Once she recovers, I need to talk to her. It's about those two over there and what happened to them at the beginning of the fight." Aaron sat down, Angel quickly hopping into his lap.
'What is this? Quad damage and berserk shouldn't be active. I touched neither of the orbs that give the power-ups and I can Dash without using up charges. In fact, it feels like I can run at dash speeds forever as if something has-' "the Joke!" He shouted, 'it has to be! It gave me these wings and horn along with my more equine features. Could it be that instead of playing a joke that detriments me it's playing one that gives me a benefit? Like I could use my wings to dash and double jump, maybe even fly, and now I don't even need to touch the orbs to activate power-ups. I mean it would be hilariously funny to make me even more overpowered than I am so that does make some sense.' While Aaron contemplated what the Joke had done to him Fluttershy stood up and walked over to both Twilight and Tempest. He had not noticed it but all three of them seemed to have even fuller figures, each one a little bit bigger. Fluttershy the most obvious had he seen her before everything started even amongst the rest of the main six Fluttershy had been the second biggest in overall figure after Twilight ascended.
Rainbow Dash surprisingly had the largest bust out of all of the elements sans Twilight. Contrary to what most would have thought, having a flat chest was less aerodynamic than having a large bust on humanoid figures that could fly. It turned out large breasts create a small buffer of low pressure that allows the rest of the body behind it to flow through the air much easier making it more aerodynamically efficient to have J cups instead of A cups. Twilight had explained this to both Aaron and Tempest as they walked through the Everfree earlier. Aaron broached the subject when he saw Twilight hovering for a little bit to get over a large section of Gore. Unbeknownst to her, he had also taken a small video while watching her bust bob up and down as she flew, having subconsciously wanted to capture the moment.
'That phenomenon is also a little odd for me. I wasn't really one to want images of things that aroused me before. Maybe the magic is affecting me a little, making me more susceptible to my urges. Though that could just be the joke as well giving me such overpowering abilities but also forcing me to confront more of my baser urges in the process. Basically, I'm even stronger now but in contrast, I'm also hornier than ever.' The thought caused the demigod to chuckle.
"Excuse me?" Aaron heard Fluttershy say, surprised that his second set of ears were even more sensitive than the sound-enhancing equipment of his Praetor suit. "C-can you pass me Angel, i-if you want to that is?"
"Sure Fluttershy," Aaron said as he stopped petting the bunny in his lap, carefully handing the lagomorph over to the caring pegasus who noticed his exposed skin realizing that he wasn't a pony. "I take it you've recovered."
"Eep!" She squeaked as she took her oldest friend. "Y-yes Harry only made it look r-rough." She said more normally even with the glowing red blush shining underneath her butter-yellow coat. "He's always careful whenever we play even though I like it rough sometimes."
"Okay," Aaron said in response to that comment. "Twilight and Tempest get over here, we need to discuss something." He said with authority in his voice causing Fluttershy to jump from how quickly his voice shifted.
"What's up boss?" Tempest asked as the two other mares approached Aaron and Fluttershy.
"When you first saw Fluttershy being played with by Harry you two started playing with yourselves," Aaron said matter of factly. "Honestly I would have done something similar had I not had the strength of will that I have but it seems like you did it without noticing, something I chalk up to the literally charged atmosphere outside of the Everfree." This comment shut down any response forming on Twilight and Tempest's lips.
"I've been able to sense it but with the three of you together the effects have lessened." He continued. "It seems that even if she isn't an Element of Harmony, Tempest is helping with the mitigation of the effects,” ‘Possibly because her broken horn leaks mana counteracting the effects of the Cock’. “That means as we bring each of you together the effects will dissipate even faster. My song broke you out of whatever trance you were in so it wasn't particularly strong if a conflicting noise could disrupt it."
"The Everfree with its chaotic nature also mitigated the effects to the point where it only made Tempest and I slightly more horny than usual," Twilight said. "I hadn't taken into effect how fast it could affect us and how strong the influence was. Though you are right, your song broke us out of the trance. I think that may be a part of your inherent magic, as it seems that you created something of a heartsong. A song that is woven into the magic around you influencing others whether to sing along or to follow in your actions. Whatever the joke did to you, making you into what you are now is interesting."
"Who is this Twilight? It sounds like you know him personally?" Fluttershy questions. "Not that I'm not thankful for him saving Angel and k-killing the brute that threatened him but the others…"
"Aaron Blazkowicz at your service, king of the Night Sentinels and once known as the Doom Slayer," Aaron said, taking the last name from his previous identity, fusing it with his current first name giving him a new identity that followed the duality of his current life. "Twilight may have mentioned me a few times."
At this revelation, all three of the mares bowed deeply, although Twilight did it with amusement. "I had mentioned you a couple of times but I never mentioned your Royal status, your majesty." She teased. "Also changing your last name? I'm surprised, Aaron."
"More like reclaiming a birthright Twilight. The Blazkowicz line is a line of incredible warriors no matter which universe they come from. Once I put the armor back on I became a Blazkowicz once again. Even if it was in a prior life I might as well embrace it." Aaron explained. "After all, I am the Doom Slayer reborn, which means that I will forever be a Blazkowicz bane of hell."
Aaron looked to Fluttershy. "Do you have some clothes that the girls and yourself can use? Tempest has her armor but Twilight really doesn't have anything."
"No," Fluttershy admitted, shaking her head. "Before the take over Twilight and the rest of us, elements had learned that we would be immortal together thanks to our connection. The fact was that it was the elements that allowed Twilight to ascend. We share a link with each other and our life forces are tied together. At first, we thought that we would age as long as Twilight grew into her full Alicornhood but that was proven wrong. As Twilight grew we did too and we shall." The Pegasus emphasized it by shaking her bust showing that it was bigger. "With how long it's been since then and the fact that we've been under Caribou control no one has had clothing since they removed the law against public nudity burning all clothing throughout Equestria sans armor and other such uniforms just to make sure that no one could cover themselves, especially Mares. Tempest is fine since it seems her armor is elastic in its underlayer but until Rarity is free I don't think we'll have any clothing to fit us."
"Well then-" Aaron said before remembering another possible source of help. "I just remembered, have you gotten any response from Discord?"
"When this began I tried calling out but all that happened was the Caribou laughing," Twilight said sadly. "I think they somehow trapped him in his dimension or something worse happened."
Aaron thought for a moment before he decided to deal with that later. “Right now we could use the help but it isn’t necessary. When we get the chance though we will find out what happened to him.”
The group of four rested for two hours, calm in knowing that they weren't likely to be disturbed since all the nearby Caribou had been dealt with before they could reach their compatriots. During this time Aaron tested some of the powers of his altered suit and form. His earlier suspicions proved true as he was able to activate any powerup from the Doom arsenal at will making him so overpowered it became hilarious. He also discovered that he now had a Revenant's hover ability thanks to his jump boots and wings working in tandem. He also suspected that wasn't the only revenant-related ability he had but he didn't want to frighten the girls by using that particular power too soon.
"Fluttershy I equipped the girls with some of my extra armaments from my arsenal," Aaron said before summoning another of his dimensional backpack units. "Each one of you is going to get something to defend yourself with. Twilight and Tempest got the most because Twilight is their main target and Tempest is my apprentice."
"Ok?" Fluttershy said a little nervous at the thought of fighting but unlike what most would think, Fluttershy wanted revenge on the Caribou. "What do you have for me?"
Aaron pulled out a futuristic sniper rifle. "This is the Vortex rifle, a single shot sniper that can be charged to deal more damage thanks to it being an energy weapon. It has a single modification that can be activated by pressing a small button on the stock allowing the weapon to charge faster and hold more energy while reducing the number of shots you have in total. At most, it has 20 rounds of ammo before it needs to recharge. This is a precision weapon so it's not the only one I'm going to give you."
Aaron pulled out another futuristic weapon, one even more impressive than the sniper rifle from earlier. "This is the Unmayker, a powerful rapid-fire weapon. It's one of my greatest weapons rivaling The BFG and the Hypercannon for power. This version comes from a universe where it was crafted by my own hands. This should be used against stronger enemies, especially those that I fear we may encounter later." Aaron also handed her a necklace with a small orb embossed with the rune of the Slayer. "This is a haste orb, due to its unique power when combined with the Unmayker it has unlimited ammo making it ideal for clearing out groups. It cannot always be active but now that I have my own magic I can extend its time for up to 5 minutes at a time before it needs a 10-second cooldown."
Both Twilight and Tempest were surprised that Aaron had given Fluttershy such a powerful weapon since the weapons he had given both of them were significantly weaker, at least that is what they thought.
"Fluttershy is admittedly weaker than you two." Aaron said knowing what the girls would think about him mentioning and giving Fluttershy one of his strongest weapons "She's more of a supporter. I wanted her to have a basic get out of jail free card in case we end up being overrun."
Aaron pulled out a unique gauntlet with sparking electricity and had a brutal saw that went over the hand causing Fluttershy to grin evilly almost as if Flutterbat was floating to the surface. "This is a last resort weapon or maybe your main seeing that grin. It's called the Pummel gauntlet. It's a close-range weapon. I have many of these as I was able to capture a few from the time I was a Champion in the Grand Arena. I wouldn't suggest using this for assassinations but for close-range combat, what I have for you next should be for assassinations."
Aaron pulled out a group of hatchets each one was small but able to be hung from a belt. "These helped one of my ancestors in his time against the enemies similar to the ones we face now, they're made of derulinium, a titanium aluminum alloy making them light yet strong and able to hold the wicked edge even hundreds of years after they were used. Use them as throwing weapons or as a quick tool for chopping off limbs and heads; they'll help you out."
"Oh I will enjoy these," Fluttershy said as her pupils shifted to slits and two fangs appeared to poke out from her upper lip causing the mirror to chuckle evily before looking to the group her eyes now glowing red. "Flutterbat has returned and this time I don't want apples, I want blood."
This dramatic shift in personality caused Aaron to stare along with the other girls. "Come on, don't scare us like this!" Twilight said as in a flash of pink light Fluttershy transformed. Now far more resembling her former vampire fruit bat hybridization though this time she had both three butterflies and three bats as her cutie mark.
"Why would I scare you?" Fluttershy said. "Yes I'm being far more aggressive than I normally would but they almost killed Angel. I'm out for blood. No one hurts my animals, especially my little demon bunny."
"At least she acknowledges his behavior can be demon-like," Aaron muttered.
"Angel is an actual demon," Fluttershy said, "he's the last descendant of the demonic lagomorph species outside of Tartarus. The race as a whole were secondary guards next to Cerberus. When outside of Tartarus they act as familiars to powerful magic users it turns out that my connection to the elements of kindness drew him to me just as much as he drew me to him."
After that revelation the group decided to move on. As the group reached Ponyville they began to hear screaming and explosions. This caused Aaron to draw his super shotgun from his pocket dimension.
"That shouldn't be possible!" Aaron shouted recognizing the distinct sounds of Imp fireballs. "I was summoned to this world! Davoth is dead no demons should be able to leave Hell!" The warrior while confused by the sound still sped up his new biology helping to move him faster, each step was accompanied by a burst of his jump boost and a powerful flap of his wings pushing him onward. Suddenly he kept and on instinct he took to the air a mach cone forming as he pushed himself to get to the fight faster.
The others were surprised by his speed and how he flew so naturally. Both Twilight and Flutterbat knew how much effort it took to reach mach speeds but they both pushed to match their new friend Flutterbat unknowly activating the Haste rune to keep up while Twilight showed the results of her daily training with her privite Wonderbolt and member of her guard Rainbow Dash.
Tempest meanwhile decided to try a spell only she could cast to keep up. Gathering a heavy charge in her stump the released the electric energy in the form of a teleport literally riding her lightning to the center of town.
Once the group reached the square they saw a group of familiar ponies nearby, Twilight the first in recognizing six of them immediately since she was the one who had met them from her world though seeing two Sunsets and what looked to be her human counterpart with a near clone of herself which she thought could have been the evil her from the morally flipped mirror world made her start what with the black wings the second Twilight had.
This ran through her head as she looked at the things the group where holding off.
Well over 100 of the beasts were hammering a deep violet barrier seemingly cast from the tall black unicorn if the aura covering her hands was any indication. Many more were hurling balls of plasma at that same barrier as the Twilight with the black wings flashed through the barrier before swinging twin swords of a unique design at a beast throwing it into the air before rapidly attacking the airborne foe from multiple directions.
The beast wasn't able to take the punishment as evaporated in embers as the smell of ozone permeated the air before the purple gray mare let loose a gigantic ball of lightning hitting one of the still grounded bound beasts before bouncing to 20 others rapidly before dissipating. This was a distraction though since the mare landed on the ground in ice blue symbol forming beneath her hand before what looks like a flower of ice spread from the symbol freezing another group of them solid.
With a nod she fell back into the barrier just as fast as she jumped out of it as a streak of white and purple passed her and landed in the middle of the frozen beasts revealing itself to be a younger Rarity wielding a staff familiar to Aaron before a blue spear tip of energy emerged from the end as the mare spun it around shattering the beasts Frozen by the attack. Once the others noticed that there was a hole in there rough formation this version of Rarity simply blinked out of existence reappearing within the barrier as if she teleported but without the distinct flash of the equestrian version of the spell.
"Okay I'm not going to lie, something's up." Aaron said after witnessing The exchange of attacks happening within the last 20 seconds. I expected there to be more caribou and not demons. Even with only imps here things are dangerous! I had thought that maybe the Marauders had avoided destruction because they were originally of argent blood and not actually demons only corrupted but this shows that what happened with Davoth was only a Band-Aid measure!"
The group of four all collectively remembered what they had talked about during those two hours before heading towards Ponyville.
"Girls." Aaron said remembering what he mentioned during his brief encounter with the caribou. "While I was hoping that the evidence from before was just circumstantial after what those Caribou said, a theory of mine was confirmed."
"What theory?" Twilight asked nervous when hearing the serious tone Aaron had taken.
"Somehow even before you brought me to this reality demons of my past life have interacted with this world, the Marauders being a hybrid species of demon and argent humans. The Caribou captain mentioned weapons with glowing red argent energy and named these creatures directly. That means that something brought them to this world. I'm hoping that they only kept their weapons because they are powerful and something that can be used for good but I seriously doubt it if them being benefactors of the Caribou is an actual fact. Meaning we'll have to face extremely well trained soldiers at the very least and horrific monsters at the worst." Under his helmet Aaron wore a grim smirk just remembering the previous fights that his other half dredged up. "These beings gave me trouble for a while before I realized how to defeat them. I'm just hoping that no other demons from my time somehow made it to this world."
The group now saw what Aaron had feared a large number of lesser demons from hell there in Ponyville well Tartarus was a portal to hell they had guards the whole time male guards that would have convinced the Caribou to not open the gates as even in their corrupted State they knew having the world to conquer is something they wanted instead of their world being razed and absorbed into the hell dimension if that happened. Only meant that the Caribou had interacted with hell in another way, maybe a hidden gate to Tartarus across the celestial sea?
"We have to help them. whoever that unicorn is that cast the barrier, It's likely that it's taking all of their focus to keep that barrier up." Twilight said before magic lenses formed over her eyes improving her vision even more so than the zoom function on the sunglasses that Aaron had given her could. "I can see at least some injuries in the group. I can only guess that with Sunset here someone from Ponyville was able to get a message to the human realm in time bringing their elements of Harmony here. But seeing another Sunset and that other me, not the one from that world but the one with the black wings, it's confusing."
Suddenly the sound of cracking thunder could be heard as six large portals could be seen opening along with a 7th massive portal behind it out of the six smaller portals a beast of twisted metal and flesh stepped.
"No." Aaron was horrified at seeing the tyrants appear knowing that their master was not far behind. "We have to get down there NOW!" He shouted as a loud thump was heard the ground shaking as the Cyberdemon, bigger than its lesser Brothers, their master in fact stepped out of the portal alive once again.
"W-what is that?" Flutterbat asked her voice wavering from the pure terror flowing through her.
"This beast cursed my family with its first defeat," Aaron said solemnly. "it would forever come back to hunt my family and I've killed it time and time again. At first it looked no different than the smaller ones if only a little taller. But with each death it came back stronger and more mutated until you see it as it is today. The bane of the Blaskowitzs the Cyberdemon."
Suddenly a high-pitched scream was Heard coming from within the group behind the barrier which now had cracks in it from the constant rocket bombardment the tyrants and the Cyberdemon were throwing at it. A plasma ball had been able to slip through one of the small holes and hit someone Aaron had not anticipated even existing in this world.
"The fuck?" Aaron said as he recognized the voice. His next thought drowned out by Twilight screaming at the top of her lungs.
"MARY!!!!!" she cried out in horror the Royal Canterlot voice causing an eardrum bursting shockwave with just her voice disorienting the Imps, Tyrants and the cyberdemon temporarily.
In a burst of fire Twilight took off racing towards the barrier smashing through it and shattering what was left with the impact.
"Mary?" Aaron said not truly recognizing what Twilight had said until moments later seeing the girl in the purple outfit laying on the ground with a burn on her arm near a smoldering crater. "No no not again!" The girl reminded him of his own daughter from his previous life the one who convinced him to get Daisy as a pet, the one who died with the rabbit in her arms, the one that demons defiled to rip the Pet's head off and place it on a spike. "RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He shouted as his body began to Glow a silver and white. "Temporary invincibility activated." A message read on Aaron's HUD as he to race forward creating a Sonic Rainboom into the distinct colors of the power up.
Tempest disoriented but luckily not deaf thanks to having continual exposure to the Royal canterlot voice at levels rarely heard by mere mortals thanks to her training under Luna and Flutterbat who had healed thanks to a Quirk of her transformation and interaction with the haste room healing her while activated looked on as suddenly every alicorn grouped around the girl Twilight at the front SciTwi as she was called by their Twilight the darker mirror that looked almost like their Twilight next to her Aaron landing by her side both Sunsets and the black unicorn which turned out to actually have draconic wings making up the rest of the group. The Three sirens who had been reinforcing the barrier until Twilight crashed through it floating above them protecting the young girl. In a flash of light all of the untransformed ponies in the group quickly powered up Sci turning into Midnight both sunsets accessing their dream state indicating that the Sunset from the human world had the same magic as the one from their world in the process. The most unique transformation was for the dark Twilight she suddenly began going silver as a pattern appeared all over her body black and white flames erupting from her and covering her merging but not mixing her wings which were black earlier were there normal lavender closer to the wing joint with glowing golden feathers on the left wing and glowing midnight purple feathers on the right.
In response the demons started roaring as if cheering themselves on for taking down the barrier. What they didn't know, what they couldn't have known was that you don't hurt someone or something an alicorn loves and there were plenty of alicorn level fighters here a few that while I'm used to their power could devastate an entire countryside with a flick of their overpowering might.
"Good to see you join in little sis I figured I'd have to explain to Mary again that I'm not you." The burning alicorn said. "Dealing with her was cute and all but whatever happened here is fucked up."
"So you're Ayumi." Aaron said as he landed with a loud thud in front of everyone. "I don't know if you remember me, but we talked through a common friend, many years ago."
"Heh." She chuckled before turning serious. "I remember, but now's not the time we've got to finish these assholes before we can talk. Luckily I have no place to stay right now so I think I'll stay with you one god to another."
"Agreed." Aaron said, cracking his neck, shoulders, and knuckles. "Besides you being here, I'm surprised Mary's here. Don't know what happened in her world, but I'll make sure that whoever did this will be paying for it with their lives."
"Enough talking, need to burn something!" Twilight growled ferally. "Get that barrier up now, protect my daughter before you all become the ones I burn!"
"And that's why I don't let myself rage shift anymore." Ayumi said as her swords now revealed to be a unique set of twin gunblades begin humming with a glow centering around the twin barrels in each. "I lose nearly all rationality and just want to burn whatever hurt me or caused me to shift." The humming reached its peak as the crack of a gunshot and the sound barrier breaking at the same time rang out four bullets of condensed kinetic energy surrounded in the twin fire here raced towards two of the Tyrants. "So uncivilized," she quoted, hoping that Aaron would get the joke.
"I know what you're thinking, but with what I've dealt with up until now, my memory's a little fuzzy." Aaron said sheepishly. "But that sounds like something Obi-Wan Kenobi would say."
"Met him and I got to say he isn't what you would expect." Ayumi said as she rushed forward using a distinct form of teleportation she had gained in her multiversal travels the barrier forming behind her this time multi-layered as both Sunsets, Sci and the black draconic alicorn revealed to be Rarity in her nightmare form crafted the stronger defense with their magic. "Hope you can keep up old-timer!" She said before Twilight jumped off her back, somehow keeping enough of her mind intact to use her other self as a springboard to create a flaming meteor as she landed clearing out another group of 20 or so of the imps while also damaging the two tyrants that Ayumi's godly Flaming megashot had hit.
"Oh, I'll show you old-timer, old friend!" Aaron said as he too pushed off to take on the Cyberdemon. He was pissed that it followed him, but he'd be damned if it ruined this world as well like it had ruined so many others.
"So you face me again, William." The Cyberdemon said surprising everyone including Aaron since it had never talked since first cursing his family. "And I see you have another little one that I can eat. Did you know that's what I did with your family, leaving only that little rabbit head just to spite you. No matter how many times you kill me thanks to the curse I laid on your great-grandfather I shall always come back and always torment you and your kin. Give up, I am the one enemy you will never truly defeat!" The demon chuckled remembering a similar curse from another powerful demon that he borrowed the idea from.
"You think that just because you cursed me in my past life that I'll ever back down?" Aaron screamed, his anger rising to dangerous levels, while at the same time an earthquake-like rumble with Aaron at the center of it began to shake the ground. Pieces of rock and soil were ripped out of the ground and began rising into the air through an invisible force. "You think I haven't forgotten? I knew it was you the moment I stepped out of Hell, remembering my grandfather's stories. But one thing you don't know about us in the Blazkowicz family is we learn… and adapt." As he said that, lightning began to strike around the group protecting Mary, but not hitting them.
"I… won't… let you… get away with this… ANYMORE! RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Aaron screamed as the area was engulfed in a bright green light.
"Ok so your god powers allow you to manifest a Super Saiyan aura." Ayumi said. "Cool."
Twilight then rammed the beast as a flaming meteor, cracking the sternum armor and damaging the machinery holding the Argent Accumulator accumulator in its right pectoral.
"Be careful Twilight." Aaron said, causing Twilight to stop. "If you rip that out of him, it'll become unstable and rip open a portal that will send us to Hell with him, where he'll resurrect. We need to take him down in a different way. But don't worry, you can make the killing blow… for Mary."
Hearing him wrong, Twilight ripped the Argent Accumulator out anyway. But instead of becoming unstable, the accumulator started to glow lavender and the energy within flowed into each version of Twilight, Ayumi included.
"Is pure Argent energy supposed to taste like Cherry cola?" Twilight asked, now seeming to be fully cognizant once more.
Aaron looked shocked at the Argent Accumulator defying his expectations alongside the fact that the Cyberdemon just laughed. "Foolish idiot just like hell this world is permeated with an energy that allows me to sustain myself even without that accumulator and now your new mates will be mutated into hellish beasts like myself."
"Isn't argent energy the most basic form of soul magic?" Ayumi asked, remembering what the seraphim told William back when he first went to the argent conversion furnace in hell. "Considering cutie mark magic is of a similar nature we just absorbed the power and it seems that my sister can now rage shift while being fully aware of herself so instead of mutating us you just gave us power."
"In other words, you megalomaniacal monstrosity…" Aaron said, cupping his hands together in a very familiar stance. "You're fucked! Argent BFG Kaaaa… Meeee… Haaaa… Meeee…" Aaron's chant began to form a bright glowing red ball of reddish orange light in-between his cupped hands.
Realizing what was about to happen Ayumi stood in another familiar stance, arms held out to the sides, the fire surrounding her coalescing into twin balls on her gunblades white on the left and black on the right. "GODFIRE MEGASHOT FINAL…" She shouted as she brought her two gun blades in front of her.
The Cyberdemon looked at the twin Gods standing before it, its eyes widening as it realized just what was about to happen. "Oh CRAPBASKETS!!!!!!!!" It said crossing its arms in front of its face bracing for impact.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Aaron screamed as he threw his hands forward, firing the accumulated Argent energy in a Argent energy version of the Kamehameha Wave, the blast at the very least six or seven times the size of the Cyberdemon.
"FLAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!"Ayumi shouted, her twin flames merged into Aaron's attack, blooming the blast to the size of the beam Tirek once used to blast Twilight away while she was fighting him with all the current Alicorn-level magic sans Discord. The massive blast engulfed not only the Cyberdemon but the three Tyrants and around 50 of the Imps in front of it vaporizing everything except the Cyberdemon who had survived because the other victims bled most of the power from the blast. The attack still hurt it but it was kneeling nearly dead.
"You will see me again, Blazkowicz…" The Cyberdemon said as it fell through a portal that opened below it. "Count on it."
"And I'll always be waiting and ready." Aaron said, flipping the bird to the Cyberdemon. "Peace among worlds, asshole."
"Well Darling," Nightmarity said from within the barrier. "That was an impressive show but we still have these 'little beasts' to take care of."
"Let me take care of them please please please please please?" An excited voice said from overhead. "I haven't done anything with my new powers in a while."
"Ugh, fine" Ayumi said knowing how bored the Sirens had to be. "just don't match up any Sonic resonance with the building materials here. We don't need to rebuild the whole town and I would really like to keep it that way, Sonata."
This comment surprised Aaron, Tempest, Twilight, and Flutterbat, the other two having arrived as the final attack against the Cyberdemon was launched using the spectacle as a distraction.
"While I can guess that you probably know the Sirens already, how can you be so nonchalant with them?" Tempest asked, watching Sonata go through the barrier and start to sing a note inaudible to everyone besides the Imps, her voice growing loud enough to be felt as the heads of the beasts exploded.
"Who do you think convinced them to join you? I mean you did kind of rob them of their immortality, little sis," Ayumi said, answering the question and the one unsaid with the same answer. "It was kind of hard to convince them to help save this world until I mentioned that Starswirl was freed so they could kick his ass. Plus I'm kinda Sonata's long term interdimensional marefriend.
"That and I can vouch for Nata." Aaron said, whistling at Sonata's handiwork with the Imps. "Even though I only spoke with her through mine and Ayumi's common friend, she's not as bad as she was before, if at all. If you think about it, she seemed too innocent to be evil at all with the way the other two treated her. Too bubbly of a personality."
"They aren't always that bad." Sonata said after landing. "What we eat tends to change our personalities in some way or at least that was how it worked until our gems were reforged and purified. Now we can eat negativity without enforcing us to be evil it's how we became evil in the first place our songs at default naturally make others produce negativity and we've only recently been able to figure out how to influence them to create other emotions the purification of our gems was to make sure that even if we didn't change the focus the energy we ate would not affect our personality."
"Huh, that… actually makes a lot of sense, now that I think about it." Aaron said, sounding like he just had an epiphany.
The other two sirens landed Adagio laughing mostly because without the flames surrounding Ayumi was completely nude. "Uh you do know that you're not wearing anything Yumi?"
"So? Casual nudity is the norm now. I'm surprised that any of you are wearing anything sans Aaron and Tempest here with their armor." Ayumi said grinning before snapping her fingers and everyone except for Mary, Tempest, and Aaron had their clothes burn up in black fire. "Besides, flaunt what you got baby."
"Darling!" Both Rarity's said at the same time thinking that Ayumi had actually destroyed the clothing she burned knowing how the black fire usually worked.
"Oh don't worry I just put your clothes in a pocket dimension. All of you are going to grow now that we're in the same universe with her." Ayumi said, pointing her thumb to the still flaming Twilight. "The outfits won't fit in a few hours anyways.
"Speaking of Mary, I got just the thing for her." Aaron said, pulling a small sack with a drawstring around it. "I noticed it in my storage dimension before I was summoned to this world. Apparently whoever sent the Dragon Balls here also left me with a small supply of Senzu Beans. Give her one, Midnight, it will heal her like new." Aaron tossed the bag of Senzu Beans to Midnight. "I would toss it to you Twi but it has been shown that Senzu Beans burn don't want to take that chance."
The rest of the group had been quiet until their outfits disappeared in the fire. The humane Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy had exclaimed in surprise before attempting to cover themselves. Though Rainbow and Applejack had tried to cover each other up hinting at the relationship they had had in the other world.
"Dagnabit! Even if it's the norm here you shouldn't take our clothing Sugarcube!" Applejack said not truly hearing what Ayumi had said about the fact that their clothing wouldn't fit within the next few hours, focused more on her sudden nudity.
"Uh, why would we suddenly grow to the point where our clothes wouldn't fit anymore so fast?" Fluttershy asked nervously looking at her other self not noticing her already expanding figure.
"It's a mixture of the elements of harmony connecting all of us and the corrupted magic of the Crystal Heart now called the crystal Cock the 7th element of a sort representing the love between friends in this case. It can change the mind and body. With the Elements of Harmony keeping us in balance it only changes the body. We already know that the body changing effects are magnified when more of the Elements are together and since there's at least two versions of the elements of empathy, magic, generosity, and kindness here the effect is incredibly potent." Twilight said.
Ayumi suddenly realized something. "In fact there are three versions of magic, empathy, kindness, generosity, and two of loyalty, honesty and laughter since I now wield all of the elements from my world, their power flowing into me as magic disappeared from my world kicking me into the multiverse."
"The other bit is because of the shared immortality between the elements as Flutterbat had mentioned before." Twilight said sheepishly. "Sorry."
"As much as I was into the multiverse theory, Ayumi, that was a little too much overload for me." Aaron said, chuckling nervously.
"Well then if you're still going to be growing let me show you what you probably will look like at your full power…" Ayumi said as the sound of glass shattering rang out and Ayumi rapidly grew.
"Sorry for the mess" she said as the growth finished. "Whenever I undo the seal I tend to well…" she gestured to the rather sizable pool at her feet… "Yeah"
"Dayum!" Was all Aaron could say at the sight.
A light chuckling could be heard and the group turned to the source. Mary while cradling her arm which had been burned by the proximity the plasma was barely holding in laughter at seeing all of this. Mom is going to look like that one day? No offense but if I'm still around and young enough I'm jumping your bones when that happens Mom. She signed.
"Ugh… herd law." Aaron groaned out realizing that a problem that he had dealt with before was rearing its ugly head again. "Is there an Equestria where this doesn't exist?!"
"MARY!" Twilight shouted embarrassed that her daughter had succumbed to the corrupted magic of the Cock, at least she thought so, not realizing Mary was joking knowing that she would be too old by then anyway. "How could you?"
It was just a joke considering the speed of your growth. I would be in my 80s by the time you actually reached that state! Mary rapidly signed. Unless this Ayumi is willing.
After Aaron shook his head of that thought, he turned to Mary after removing his helmet and smiling down at her and signs, saying, It's an honor to finally meet you, Mary. You may not know this, but I've known about you for a long time. I too am a huge fan of Mega Man.
Who? The girl asked truly not knowing the name having called the robot either Mega or Rock. You mean Rock?
That's his original name, yes, before Dr. Light remade him to fight against Dr. Wily and renamed him. Aaron signed, smiling. I even know of the incident where Wily brainwashed your mom and Dr. Light and a bunch of other people with the Cold Steel song. But you were unaffected due to you being deaf. But something's confusing me… how did you end up here? What happened in your world?
"Have you encountered Dante before?" Ayumi asked randomly, causing Aaron to suddenly be hit with a memory of the time after Samuel Hayden had thrown him from the Mars base but before he returned to the Earth of that universe with the Fortress of Doom.
"Actually, yeah, I did, when I was still in Hell after being betrayed by Dr. Hayden." Aaron said, looking down in thought. "He and I got along really well, despite the fact he was a demon's descendant, he was obviously different. I ran into him while trying to find a way back to that universe by ending up in his shop, looking for a job. Since my resume had all three qualities he looked for, he gave me the job after he gave me a stylish coat that matched his, but more in line with my personality. I actually kept the jacket after we parted ways when I found a way back to Mars with the Fortress of Doom. I told him if he was ever in the neighborhood, to look me up."
"Marvel versus Capcom and Smash." Ayumi said. "Multiversal crossover points tend to bring people not intended into other universes. I can only guess that with Dante and you meeting at some point when Marvel versus Capcom happened and Mega Man was pulled in Mary was accidentally brought along as a civilian. Smash is literally a person playing with toys in all honesty. The story is somewhat metatexual but since it was born of human imagination it's quite possible that each story in the series did actually happen in one universe. Since there were Mii costumes of both William and Dante it's quite possible that that's also where Mary was pulled from since all Mega Man generations were represented as well. I still think it would be Marvel versus Capcom since I believe she was in the background of one of the Mega Man based stages in one of the versions of Marvel versus Capcom 3."
"Never played Marvel versus Capcom, but I did play Mega Man X, Zero 1-4, and Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent." Aaron admitted, looking sheepish. "Heck, even Devil May Cry was not one of the games that I played. Wasn't a game that I found myself enjoying, though I did like the badass look Dante always had with his clothes. Wish I would've looked like that before the incident back on my Earth." Aaron's face then looked grim with a faraway look in his eyes as he was remembering a memory from before becoming the new Doom Slayer.
Aaron was suddenly surrounded in a group hug. Twilight somehow not burning anyone with a flaming mane and tail, Pinkie and both Flutters had joined in along with Ayumi and surprisingly both Sunsets. The rest looked on as Aaron's power up finally faded along with his green aura.
"Uh, girls? What's with the group hug?" Aaron asked. "Not that I mind."
"No dark thoughts," Ayumi commandingly. "They can easily manifest into things that you don't want them to with our kind of power."
"It wasn't dark thoughts, Ayumi." Aaron said, sighing sadly. "I wasn't the most… fit person back on Earth before I became the new Doom Slayer. That and I was always harassed by a fucking Neo Nazi prick who always degraded me because of my mental disability. I was autistic." Aaron sighed, not expecting to say the story so soon. He was signing what he was saying aloud so Mary knew what was being said. "He kept calling me the most… degrading names, like 'retard'. Then he did something really fucked up. He was selling methamphetamine to a homeless guy while on the job at the cafe he worked at. I video taped it on my phone, the whole thing. I showed the exchange to his boss, the owner of the cafe, whom I knew. He was fired and ultimately arrested. He swore revenge, but I didn't think it would happen. Until I got a call from the Joplin, Missouri Police that my family, mom, sister, and step-dad were found murdered in their home. Then I heard from Spokane that my Aunt Vanessa was murdered with her family in their homes. Eventually, it was a systematic murder of my entire family. I found out it was Paul, the Neo Nazi prick I got arrested for drugs. I took him out, but with the help of the police in Eugene. He admitted it was to get back at me for ruining him. The cops showed up and drew their weapons on him before I did anything. I revealed I was wearing a wire. He tried to pull a gun on me, but I snapped and rushed him and just beat him in his face until it was smashed in. The cops had to pull me off his lifeless body to calm me down, but it didn't matter. The damage was done. He left me alone." Aaron looked at Twilight. "It's as I said, Twilight. He killed them, all of them. All for his petty revenge against me for something he did in the first place." After he said everything, he just fell to his knees and cried, shedding tears that he had held in for Faust knows how long he had been holding them in for.
A shadow detached itself from Aaron's body. Ayumi noticed it. "Damn it, we're going to have to deal with that later." She thought. "Since we're relatively safe right now we should go through each building checking for damage and making sure that none of those beasts escaped by hiding within them."
Author's Note
Currently unedited, but my co-author will be currently editing the chapter. Once it is edited, I will post the edited text in the chapter. Also, for Ayumi's look when she shows the Mane 6 and Humane 6 what they'll look like in the future, a link will be added in the edit, as the picture is explicit.
