Eater Of Sin And Magic Part II: Ascension Of An Overlord

Everyone in the streets of Ponyville watched in a mix of curiosity and shock as Aku walked past them in his hulking pony form. Mostly because they had never seen a pony his size before. But, there wasn’t any look of disgust or fear. Aku had fully expected as such. “Pft, if I was in my true form, they’d be calling the guard on me without hesitation…” he thought to himself. As he walked along the streets, he was rolling name ideas around in his head before he had accidentally bumped into a pony who had been carrying a few bags of clothing material.

“Ah!” she cried out before falling back and dropping everything. Aku however simply looked down through the tinted lenses of his plague mask and saw it to be the local fashionista of the town and one of the elements of harmony. He wanted badly to just walk past her and ignore her. But, this was a new role he had to play, just for now. “Ah, please forgive me, madam. I was lost deep in thought and I wasn’t paying attention.” he said in his suddenly adopted french accent. If he was going to play the role inspired by the good doctor, he may as well go all the way.

As he knelt down to help put things back in her bags, the mare laid eyes upon the large robbed stallion. His accent certainly caught her attention. But his outfit had a certain..alluring renaissance mystique to it. And she loved it. “O-oh, it is no trouble, darling! I wasn’t paying attention myself!” she said as she leaned down to help with the mess. Once he had helped her clean up, he smiled under his mask before picking up his black doctor’s bag and bows his head in departure “Be careful with all that now. That’s a lot of fabric to be carrying.” he said before walking away. “Wait!” Rarity called out with a slightly outreached hand, hoping he’d stop.

“What’s your name, dear? I’d like to know who the gentlestallion is who helped me just now.” Aku rumbled in his chest until the perfect alias came to mind, a smile forming under his mask “Plague Walker, at your service. I am just a simple traveling doctor.” he said as he placed his right hand over his left breast with a slight bow. Rarity mimicked the same gesture before smiling back at him “Aaah, you must be the new doctor that has come to take the open position at the hospital! Well, I might have to come see you sometime. I’d love to see what you look like under that mask~. My name is Rarity, by the way. A pleasure to make your acquaintance~.”. Aku nodded again before bowing his head again.“I must get to the hospital and get settled in now. It was nice meeting you, Rarity.” he said as he went on his way.

A couple of weeks went by as he got settled into his role of playing a pony. He also performed his role as a doctor faithfully to the point where it was like he had been doing this for many, many years. It was as if he was living a completely different life. No one was afraid of him or attacking him. It almost felt quite wonderful. But, he knew why. Because he was one of them. They accepted him right away because he was in the form of a pony. And this fact alone was enough to make his blood boil. He would make them pay for how they treated him in his true form. And he was going to enjoy doing it.

After having finally dug in deep into his role, Aku had a day to himself to recuperate. He walked along the street wearing something a bit more comfy now. A simple but rather ritzy getup. He long sleeved black buttoned up shirt with the first three buttons undone, a pair of nice black slacks and a mid length black coat made by the finest seamstress his nation had to offer. Soon enough, he came upon the town’s local burger shop, his tummy growling at the thought of some good fast food which he hadn’t had in forever.

The door opens and the bell rings, the owner turns to the door with a big smile “Hello, welcome to Mickey D’s! How can..I..help…you?” he asked as he slowly lifted his head up to gaze upon the massive pony. Aku chuckled softly before looking up at the menu “I’ll have four number fives, a number six with extra dip, three number sevens…”. Soon enough, Alu sat at one of the outside tables with not one, but four trays of food stacked upon food. Aku took a few of the napkins and made himself a makeshift bib and clapped his hands together “Thank you for the food.” before scarfing it all down like it was water.

Little did he know that someone was watching him intently as he ate. A certainly lavender alicorn who was three tables away eating her own meal, sipping on her drink as she watched. Once he had finished his food, there was absolutely nothing left. And not a drop or crumb on his clothing either! After his lets out a mighty belch, he lightly dabs his lips and cheeks with the extra napkins he had acquired before placing the empty trays where they needed to go. The alicorn falling behind him to do the same. “My goodness, I haven’t seen an appetite like that in quite some time!”.

Aku turned his gaze to the alicorn, knowing exactly who it was just from her voice. He knew he would run into her eventually. It was simply a matter of time. “Well, when you are hungry, you are hungry.” Alu said as he maintained his role as Plague Walker. Twilight giggled softly as she sat her tray down on top of his before introducing herself “I am Twilight Sparkle, princess of friendship. It is…a recently acquired title. Still quite new to this princess thing.”. Aku chuckled and shrugged his shoulders a bit “You will do just fine, I am sure of it. My name is Plague Walker. I am the new doctor in town.”.

Twilight’s eyes focused on his when she could get a good look, they reminded her of..his. “Ah, so you are the one who has my friend in a tizzy. She seems to like you quite a lot. Though, I can see why. You are quite handsome. In fact, you remind me of someone who I find very precious to me…” She said as she’d let out a sigh of sadness. Alu blinked a few times before tilting his head “Oh? And who is this pony you speak of?” he asked making sure to play it off as smoothly as possible.

“Well, he isn’t a pony actually. He is someone who has been through quite a lot ever since he came to this world. He has been hurt, betrayed and lied to by so many ponies here. All because of what he is and what his abilities are….But…” she said as she rubs one of her arms and squeezes it. “I believe that despite all that, there is still some good in him. He has just been hurt by so many that he thinks no one from here cares about him. But, he is wrong…I love him so so much. He used to stay with me when he came here. And he was the sweetest stallion in the world, even though he was rather…aloof.”

Alu could feel a slight twinge in his heart at Twilight’s words. Not only that, but they were absolutely genuine to boot. After all, she had no idea that Aku was standing right beside her as they talked. Aku went quiet for a moment before answering her back “I…don’t know who he is. But, it sounds like this guy has been through quite a lot. Maybe his heart is just so damaged that he would never believe you if you shared those feelings with him, as he may suspect it would be a way to trick him again. Emotional trauma can be as bad as physical. He just needs time to heal is all. Whoever your friend is, I am sure he thinks about you as much as you think of him.”.

–A Few Nights Later-

Aku stands outside of the hospital with a detonator in his hand. If he was going to do this, now was the right time. There were no patients, no staff. The hospital was completely empty at this very moment. He had placed C4 charges on every single support beam and outer corners of the hospital within a couple hours, and now stood on the hill outside of the hospital, the wind flowing through his long white hair. He looked down at the detonator before giving a wicked smile “Kah-powf.” he said before hitting the button. A couple seconds later, multiple explosions rattled the small out as the C4 did it’s work.

Aku chuckled evily in his throat as he watched the show unfold, the large building crumbling in on itself as the structure was destroyed so easily. And right on que, Twilight appeared behind him in complete shock and devastation “What…what have you done…?” She asked as she watched Aku turn to her with that evil smile on his muzzle. “I have destroyed your hospital. Simple as that.”. He said without a hint of remorse. He genuinely had none. There was nobody inside after all.

Aku turned fully to Twilight before getting down on his knees and holding both his wrists out, that smile still on his muzzle while maintaining eye contact with her “Guess you gotta take me in huh, princess?” he asked as he gave a wicked laugh as the fire behind him continued to burn the building to the ground. Twilight looked at Aku with a mixture of anger and sadness, tears streaming down her face as she glared at him. And on top of all this, she still remained none the wiser.

–Canterlot Prison–

Aku stood in the intake line, wrists and legs shackled as he waited to be processed. One thing he noticed about the prison’s staff is that..it all seemed to be run by female staff, mainly unicorns and pegasi. And rather beefy ones at that. “Come on, fuckheads! Move it on up, we don’t got all night here!” shouted the warden as she watched the new inmates arrive. Her attention immediately went to Aku as she eyed him up and down before approaching him “Aaaah, we got a biggun on our hands here, ladies. Betcha the rest of him doesn’t match his size though!” she said in a mocking manner, eyes between his legs, the rest of the guard present laughing along with her.

Alu grinned back at the warden and narrowed his eyes “Bitch, I could split you in twoi with my cock if I so wanted to. But I am sure you have been fucked so many times by the inmates here that your meat flaps hang to your knees.”. Both the male and female inmates laughed at Aku’s counter to the warden’s attempt to shame him. Of course, she and the other guards didn’t find that funny one bit. She motions two of the unicorns to restrain him with their magic, naturally it had no effect on him, but he had to act like it did. He fell to his knees before a nightstick came across his gut, shoulder, then face. “Ponies like you who talk back to prison staff get their asses beat. You understand that, shitbird?” Aku lowered his head for a moment before lifting it back up, spilling a mouthful of blood right into her face before laughing “Take these nightsticks and shove them up your ass you fucking cunt.”.

Aku knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to build himself a reputation with both the inmates and guards so that when the time came, it would be all the more sweeter when the breakout happened. The warden reeled back with disgust as she tried to wipe the blood from her face with her arm. Clearly angered she had Aku shoved to the front of the line and processed quickly before having him thrown in a cell at the basement level, isolated from everything and everyone. Down here, this is where they kept the troublesome prisoners “Your first day here and they are already throwing you in the bastille. You must have a death wish!” the guard said as she locked the door behind him

Once the guards had walked away and left him alone, Aku huffs tiredly and leans against the wall of his cell before sliding down it and sitting “Bleh, hopefully I can remain in character long enough for this to work. I will just have to work quickly.”. He sits there silent for a moment before calling out “Rara, you there?” he asked before a small light appeared in his cell before changing into the little kitsune yokai before him, landing in his lap before hugging him tightly “Yep, I have been with you the whole time! I gotta say, you adapt rather quickly to your role! And the way you insulted the warden? I was about to just burst into laughter!” she exclaimed quietly, so as to not be heard.

Aku smiled and hugged the little yokai tightly before releasing her. At least he wasn’t going to be completely alone in his time here. And even better, she could bring him good food and lots of it! The perks of having a yokai on your team! “What did ya bring me for dinner, Rara?” he asked as he leaned back against the wall. The kitsune reached into her bag and pulled out a rather large multilayered bento box and held it out to him “Fried chicken with rolled omelet with beef curry and rice! Lots of it too!” she said before Aku placed a hand upon her head and rubbed between her ears “Thank you, Rara. I will try not to bug you to make me food everyday.”

“What are you talking about?! I finally have a chance to be useful to you properly. Plus…I enjoy serving those I like. And I…like you a whole, whole lot!” she said as she nuzzled into his chest fluff, Alu wrapping ehr up in his arms for another hug before releasing her again “I suppose I better eat up before they come back. Theory will wonder where I got such amazing food from.”. They both laughed softly at that before he began to chow down. Once that was done, the little kitsune took her pipe fox form and wrapped herself snuggly around Aku’s neck, hiding perfectly in his excess fluff. “I will always be here for you, Aku. No matter what happens..I promise.”

Aku smiled softly before falling on his side and getting as comfy as he could. The ground looked far more comfier than the bed did anyway. And he had his little pipe fox to keep him comfy and warm, as her energy provided all he needed.
