Stepping down into the fray the scientists guarding my H.E.V suit quickly scattered, Royal Guards flooding in to stop me. I quickly mowed them down, before feeling that damn magic grasp again.

"Not today!" I yelled, managing to regain control of my body, and break the field. Quickly switching to my SMG, I shot a grenade towards a large cluster of guards, giblets flying everywhere. Spraying down a few more guards, I left the unit and began taking a straight shot for the castle doors. If the Praetor Suit was here, I'd get it later, when things were cleared up.

Busting out the front doors, I found myself pursued by several platoons of guards, the exit gate right there. Knowing it would take too much time to push open the doors, I ran straight up the wall, and hit the ground on the opposite side with a roll, maintaining my vertical momentum and converting it to horizontal.

The guards must've been too dumbfounded to follow me by then, so I came sliding to a halt, a whole lot of ponies looking right at me.

"What? Y'all city slickers never seen a jailbreak before?" Just then, they all started screaming and running, and in the fray, Twilight and her friends finally showed up. "Huh, little late there for a breakout, y'know."

"Well ah'm afraid we got caught in a big 'ol kerfuffle just tryn' to find ya." AJ replied.

"There was the issue of getting here, persuading the Princesses to let us see you, then trying to find you, then follow you. Then now." Twilight explained.

"So what're we waiting for? Let's get outta here!" I suggested. As sticking around didn't seem too good. Just then, old hags Light and Dark showed up to stop us again! "What is it this time?" I groaned, having had enough of these bastards.

"As it stands, creature, you are too strong for our guards to contain, and it has been ruled by the council that you be sent to Tartarus at once."

Fools, that was exactly where I needed to be. "Oh no what ever will I do?" I said with extreme sarcasm. Before getting a scowl from Moonbutt, and teleported to Tartarus, along with the Mane 6, Brightass, and Dark over there.

My exitement was quickly diminished when I realized it actually was not Hell. More a cave locked away somewhere like a maximum security prison.

"Oh come on! This is boring! Where's the fire, brimstone, nations of demons running amok doing everything they can to kill me? What kind of cheap knock-off is this?" I demanded.

"We do not know of the place you speak of."

"Really? Y'all went diggin' around in my mind, and you DIDN'T see any of that? That's Hell, where the souls of the damned are turned into Argent Energy. An infinite fuel source that allows the demons to reach new worlds to conquer. The reason I bring this up is because Hell is another word for Tartarus."

"But explain, how does this have to do with you?"

"The demons sent me here to get rid of me, I was the one thing stopping them from getting out of control and taking over the multiverse. After an old friend of mine was locked up in a stone sarcophagus again, until he is needed.

"So what you're saying is that those creatures are evil?"

"Yes, what connection between 'Hell' and 'Pure Evil' can you not see?"

I heard Celestia mumble some things, and whisper to Luna, yes, I know their names, I just didn't want to use them. But anyway, once that was over, I was told that I had been relieved of all crimes. Which was nice.

We were then teleported back to the Golden Oak Library, where this whole shebang had started, and finally, Celestia and Luna bid their farewells, and we could get back to our own thing.

"Well, that was annoying. Where were we?" I asked.

"Where we were is unimportant, Marine." Twilight said.

"She's right, the princesses were acting awful strange when you cleared things up."

"I kind of hate to admit it, but she is right."

"Whaddya mean?"

"Well, they never usually loose their composure around us, but you saw the way they got a bit anxious when you mentioned the demons?"

"Not only that, but they were also whispering to each other, something they never do!" RD pointed out, and now I felt stupid because I didn't know that was something out of the ordinary.

"Indeed, there must be some deeper conspiracy surrounding you three."

"Like what?"

"Marine, can you not see! Don't you think that Celestia and Luna might of been in league with the demons?"

"That would seem logicaaallll-" I began as the realization hit me harder than a knockout punch from a Baron of Hell.

"Oh shit."

Author's Note

Okay, I'll stop with the HL related chapter names. For now.

My summer vacation started, so I'll have loads of free time to write. Yee-

Also, since it's been fucking years since I last watched MLP. (Season 2's release, I know.) So I made up and definitely screwed up some aspects of MLP as a whole. So don't judge.

But also, BOOM! Plot twist! This'll add some more spice to the pan, and also kinda delay going through some show events, but I'm not planning anything too crazy just yet.

Keyword yet.
