Trouble always finds me

Beep...Beep...Beep!

What was that noise?

Beep..beep..beep!

"She's waking up doc, go hurry get Eternal! She needs to be here, I will put her in stasis."

Then everything goes silent leaving me with my thoughts, Eternal who is that? I have some memories of what happened before this but that name was unfamiliar. I remember waking up in a forest all alone, seeing a pretty pegasus. Then hearing something. Next, I remember waking up in a hospital. Oh was Eternal that pegasus? No that doesn't seem right, Why do I have trouble remembering anything that happened before I awoke in that forest? Why do I have trouble trying to find who I am? It's like I have been blocked, but those blocks don't wish to be released!

Just as quickly as the silence set, it broke away. Allowing me to hear the panting of another pony, she seemed tired like she ran a long distance.

"So doc, did you heal that fang she lost? Also, how is she doing mentally?" The first voice obviously feminine, and had a gruff undertone.

"Oh its fine Miss Eternal, the subject seems perfectly functioning." The second voice held intelligence and also confidence.

"Did you just refer to Double Ace as an 'It'?!" I could hear the rage in her voice, I also heard the doctor gulp.

"Yes, well done expect me to be calling that thing anything other than a monster! It should have died."

Suddenly I heard a loud grinding noise, I felt a familiar pressure build up around my body. "I will only warn you once doctor. Right now, at this moment I hold your life in my hooves, don't make me squish it. You think she is a monster, you haven't seen one yet. You will though if you keep this conversation, do I make myself clear?" She emphasized those last words, even I could tell that the doctor was shaking in fear.

"Y-yes Miss Eternal, it won't happen again!" The doctor's voice quickly trailed off.

I felt that pressure fade away into nothingness, and heard the female sit next to me and sigh. "You can open your eyes now, and don't worry about him. After all, I'm here to keep you safe, I just had to have a visit with the princesses." I opened my eyes to see, a familiar yellow pegasus covered in scars. She was so familiar, but I don't remember where!

As if reading my mind the pegasus sighed, "So with your look of confusion that memory was also erased, Well Hello my name is Eternal 'Infinity' Ace. Though Infinity is my rank, I have been called it before. Please just call me Eternal though, I'm here to keep you Safe and Alive. Also here to train you with Angel and Demon powers you possess." I just stare in confusion. What?

She faces hooved at my confused stare, and whispered in a voice too quiet for me to hear "Damn you Celestia I know you hate mind magic but seriously! You didn't even let her remember what she is?! Though maybe this is for the best, it means your whole personality and mental state will be completely reset. It also means you are a blank slate and won't rely on your previous skills." She shook her head and spoke louder, "Well you are Double Ace, you are a Hybrid. Or I suppose what the doctor calls you is correct it's also wrong. You are a monster but also aren't, You see Hybrids are so rare they are considered Myths. That is...until you came around." I nodded understanding that. "Now you have a Mission, You must protect Equestria. In doing so, you will protect many other worlds that would be powerless to the Demon King." My body shivered from that name, why did it shiver! "I have to get you powerful and teach you all the skills I can. Though one thing is different, you and I will be part of a task force that also protects this world from internal threats."

I nodded, And she looked confused. "Why haven't you said anything?" I just blinked and stared at her, before tilting my head to the side. "Huh odd, anyway not important. You can talk if you want to, whether you do or don't is your choice. Now Get up I have to take you to the 'Royal' sisters" She said that word with disgust, I was confused as always. Although I did as I was told and stood up on shaky legs, nearly falling over before Eternal caught me. "Follow me okay?" I nodded again and started to follow her out of the room I was in. The hallway was huge, made of white stone, I also saw unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi in golden armor I assume was Royal armor. The guards started to follow us, but they kept their eyes locked on me. Just making me feel worse, what had I done?

We continued walking for a few minutes until we stood in front of large wooden doors, Two guards sitting on each side of the door. The guards took one look at me then back to Eternal and pushed the doors open. Behind those doors was a long room with two thrones at the end, I blinked in confusion. Right before I was blinded by a purple flash, I yelped and jumped back colliding with a royal guard. Right, where that flash was a Lavender unicorn, I blinked as I remembered her name. "Twilight Sparkle, please don't scare our guest, she is here to help with a national emergency." National Emergency?

"Sorry Princess, I was just excited to see her again! Though I must say I am sorry Ace, I kinda knocked you out with a sleep spell before." I waved it off but she didn't seem convinced, she also seemed concerned "Why haven't you talked? I remember you talking quite often and reminded me of Dash." I shrugged, Eternal sighed.

Suddenly the Princess of Sun appeared behind me, making me jump forward landing on Eternals back. Celestia just stared, what happened? She sighed and looked away disappointed, before looking back at me. "Hello, I am Princess Celestia Diarch of the Sun, blah blah blah. Whatever just call me Tia, That's what you used to call me." I nodded and looked to eternal who had an annoyed look on her face. I looked back at Tia and tilted my head, "Twilight was right you haven't been talking, you used to be very vocal and now you seem to have lost that trait. It doesn't seem you are shy, you have confidence in those eyes it just seems you don't seem vocal. Maybe it was a side effect, I hope leaves soon." I smirked, causing Celestia to smile.

"Tia, can you please do your job for now? I understand you are happy to see her again but we have a job to do." I looked at Eternal who was less annoyed but still not happy. I smiled and booped her snoot, and walked past her smacking her playing with my tail. "Yeah that's still Ace, it seems she's more reserved now though, how did that happen?" She looked to Celestia and spoke quieter to quiet for me to hear. "Did you have the Blacksmith look at her sword?" Celestia nodded, "What did he say?" She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I quote 'This beauty is so damn powerful I don't understand how someone made this thing into a blade! The steel is on par with diamond! An' the durability is damn near invincible! How someone broke this beauty is somepony I wish to buck in the skull for destroying such a powerful sword!' He also stated that he can't even touch the thing for fear of breaking it again, I think just seeing that sword made me want to try harder with making his own swords." Eternal giggled, Celestia smiled softly.

"Well, what about the butcher route?"

Celestia looked pensive, "Sadly the Griffin said while he can spare some blood, he needs most of it something about the Griffin Kingdom making a move soon. That concerns me, the griffins have always been hostile to us but they have never acted on it. The griffin sounded like a war was coming, I know the new Griffin King is highly hostile to ponies, but a war?!"

Eternal smiled softly, "If they do start a war, don't send an army. Send me an Ace, she needs the practice anyway this would be perfect. Also, it will help her adaptability in combat. We just need her sword healed enough to absorb the blood from its enemies. From what I heard from My Ace, the blade only required one gallon of blood to fully heal any injuries. And the more blood it absorbs the more power and longer it gets." She shook her head and turned to look at Ace, "I want to be clear Celestia, don't get in my way. She's more important than any of you, and unlike her, I have no issue with killing others. Do not try and separate me from her again, I will never leave her side again. If I do it will be in the company of ponies I trust and have the power to defend her. You are not one of those, I despise you, not for anything you have done. But because of what you will do, but for Ace's sake, I will deal with my hatred for you. Understand 'Princess' Celestia?" Celestia gulped but nodded, "Good now what idea do you have to remove that curse?"

Celestia looked angry and looked away, "Sadly no, nothing I have found indicates a possible power on this world that can destroy a Demon King curse. As far as I can see it's permeant, but as I said, This world."

Eternal gasped, she wouldn't?! Why would she open one?! "Y-You don't mean a Void portal?!"

Celestia looked disappointed but nodded, "Yes yes I do. It will take time for me and my sister to make one without public knowledge but it is possible." Eternal nodded, "Now let's get this over with."

I looked back at Celestia and Eternal confused, what were they talking about? I suddenly realized Eternal was gone. I Jumped as I felt pressure on my shoulder, I craned my neck back and looked at Eternal. I blushed slightly, She smiled.

Celestia cleared her throat causing everypony to look at her. "Alright, Ponies we are here today to allow Miss Eternal and Miss Ace into a special portion of the Royal guards. They will be The Captain and Co-Captain of the force. They will have equal if not above the rank of Royal Guard Captain. Ace is a skilled fighter and Eternal just as her name suggests fights to the death. So they will be perfect for this, The Group's mission is to keep nations in line. The Only issue is that Miss Ace has lost her memory in an unfortunate accident, so she will be working alongside the guards until she regains her skills." I heard some ponies groan and look over at me. I stood tall to their glares and dirty looks, though eternal wasn't at all pleased, and gave them a killer look. They quickly looked away, and Eternal looked at me. I gave her a smile, 'why wasn't I talking? I know I should be able to talk but I cant!' I growled and nudged Eternal on the rump getting her attention, I tilted my head to a corner. She blinked confused before catching on and nodding. I walked over to the corner with Eternal behind me, when I reached it turned around and looked into her eyes.

I opened my mouth to speak, but what came out was a strangled whimper. I tried again, and the same noise came out. 'What the hell!' Eternal looked concerned, "What's the wrong Ace, can you not talk?" I shook my head, "Are you trying to talk?" I nodded, "That's odd, your Vocal cords should be working, It's almost like A part of your brain is being blocked off so it prevents you from speaking. The curse? Why would that make you go mute? It affects your mind not your body!" Curse what curse?! "Well, I suppose I will have to get Celestia to look into what happened to your voice. I swear you were talking less than 2 hours ago when we came back from that mission. So what changed that besides the memory deletion?" She suddenly looked pissed, very pissed. "That damn doctor, he must be one of those insane cultists. If he is I swear!" She snorted, "That's for later, What we need is a way to communicate with you. And since writing is out, we have one choice." I tilted my head "You need that Gem inside your chest?" Gem? What gem...oh. I spotted the bright green gem inside of my chest, the gem seemed to be leaking its own light. I was transfixed by the color, that was until I felt a playful slap to my cheek. I looked up to give Eternal a glare, she just smirked. Really? I did the hoove gesture to continue, which caused her to blink in confusion. "Anyway, That gem you can transfer your willpower into, I suppose, it will form things from that energy." Then she said in a quieter voice too quiet for me to hear easily, "Though last time you tried you failed, try again as they say."

I looked at her and sighed before closing my eyes, I started to focus my energy inside my chest. I heard a sizzle, and then nothing. I opened them again, to see Eternal looking surprised. I also noticed every pony in the room was also staring at me, and that means maybe 30 or so ponies were all staring at me, they all looked terrified. I looked back at Eternal, who finally managed to get control of herself. "Ace look at yourself, something isn't right." I did as I was told and what I saw made me gasp in fear.

My body was covered in black insectoid armor. Two hands floated by my sides, hands that left behind dark red flames. There were also inky black tentacles that flowed around my body. My fear spiked, I started to mentally scream at Eternal. 'Get it off! I want it off!'

Eternal saw a bright flashing light above Ace's head and looked up to see, floating words made of the same flames. 'Get it off, I want it off' 'Huh so it seems she can communicate through the Hands of God, after all, the hands are explainable the armor not so much.' She shook her head and gave Ace a firm smack, 'Can't have a panicking pony now can I'

I glared at Eternal and grunted, 'Meany!' Eternal just chuckled, 'What's so funny! Don't you understand I'm terrified!' She just fell over laughing. I huffed, 'Jerk.'

"Sorry Ace, but you haven't realized yet but I can see you are thinking above your head."

I looked up and sure enough, glowing words were floating above my head. 'Oh.'

"Still get your voice back, as funny and useful that is it's hardly as pretty as your real voice." I blushed, "Aww she can blush!"

'You tease, now I wonder if I can control this better?'

"I would hope so, I can't have ponies stare at you like some kind of monster." For some reason, I thought that word would have stung worse but it didn't, "Well can you cause the armor and tentacles to disappear?" I focus on those commands, disperse armor. The same sizzling noise and I blinked feeling lighter, I heard Eternal snort. "Huh that's odd, so the armor is not connected to the hands and words. Maybe you can use them constantly, if that is the case you will be able to fight like you used to!" I shrugged off my confusion and smirked.

"Now we should leave Ace before we make those snooty nobles more snooty, or before I show 'em their place whichever one comes first. I hate the nobles, they all talk and never do shit besides wanting more and more power." I nodded, "Still I have to find out why you are not able to speak, I love that voice of yours." I blushed but also rolled my eyes. "Heh anyway let me take you back to your room because tomorrow you will be suffering. I hope you like to be in pain because the Royal guards love to push ponies to their limits and beyond." I groaned, she just giggled at my suffering.

We entered my room and I was amazed, It was a spacious room with a large kingsized bed. It also had multiple shelves and dressers. I looked to the side and saw the bathrooms and sighed. 'Good I won't have to rush down the hall to go to the restroom, maybe I will take a shower soon.' Thinking of a shower made me have very unpleasant thoughts about what I would do inside, I blushed. 'I don't think Eternal would enjoy those ideas.' I heard a soft purring noise and looked back to see Eternal right in my face. Oh wow, I didn't think I could make that color, such a vibrant red.

"Oh, what ideas do you have huh Ace." I gulped, she saw that?! "Ohh Acey you need to get control of those powers unless you wanna show the world what you may be thinking hum?" I nodded frantically, she smiled. "Good now open your mouth, oh, and please sit down." I nodded and sat down right before opening my mouth. She looked inside my mouth and gasped, "That's why you can't talk, some cunt removed your tongue!?" The same grinding noise but this time I saw where they came from. Her hooves started to emit a bright blue aura, I also noticed her eyes has switched color to bright gold. Her expression was one of pure rage. "Somepony removed your tongue Ace, and I swear on the Angels above I will smite those who done this." I blinked, I was missing my tongue? No wonder talking didn't work, but why didn't I notice it before? I heard Eternal growl, "I hope that doctor has Life Insurance because I'm about to show him, the Angels he worships are not so nice when someone hurts those they care for." I realized what was about to happen but it was too late. In a blast of blue-gold aura, she was gone.

Eternal flapped her wings once propelling herself out of Ace's room and down the hall with a second. Oh, she was pissed, nothing can stop her when she's this angry. A blue-gold aura erupt around her body pushing her body to its maximum, A small sonic cone formed in front of her. She had to slow down, going too fast would cause a sonic boom inside this castle. As much as she hated it she could not be risking hurting Ace, she slowed down but kept at a steady pace. The Sonic barrier formed in front of her, but she did not push forward so the barrier remained. She knew where that doctor was, inside his little room. She took a left down a hallway and saw the door. Before anypony could realize what happened, the doors shot off the hinges being propelled backward into the wall. Her hooves glowed as she landed on the ground and slid, the doctor was looking at a desk who still ignored her entrance.

She stepped forward, only to sense something move behind her. Her body moved on instinct and backflipped over the bat, when she landed she saw two other ponies in the room. Those ponies wearing a form of mercenary armor, 'So hired hofs aye? You must have known I would come here after I found out.'

The doctor finally looked up from his desk and was surprised to still see Eternal awake and pissed. "Wow I must admit you are more skilled than these two, but that is no matter. You see, I don't think you and your Demon Blood can resist an Angel Seal. You know it's funny, I thought you were a normal pony, It just shows even normal-looking ponies can be Demons." He pulled out a crystal and pointed it at Eternal, and nothing happened. The Doctor was confused, then enraged. "You... You are not a demon?! Then why work with one?!"

Eternal just laughed, "You are correct, I am no Demon, I am an Angel Born." She then put on a very serious expression, "Prepare to suffer, you have harmed my friend, and removed her ability to speak. If I had found out later and not connected the dots I would have sent Celestia to remove you by force. Then I would have executed you in public to show all your church fanatics, why they do not mess with the business of Demons and Angels unless requested. You were not requested to act, you went against what I wished. For that a serious price must be paid, one that will be atoned with your blood."

The doctor was now shaking in fear, "Kill her you fools!"

The next time Eternal spoke, her voice was mixed with two separate voices. "Kill me? You must be the fool not them, they cannot attack or even harm me."

The doctor growled, "And why is that?!"

"Because they are dead," She walked forward and tapped the guards on their shoulders breaking the connection. The guards exploded in blood as they were all struck by invisible strikes, their bodies become split into multiple parts. "This is why you do not enrage an Angel. Mortal, you have seen the death that will soon take you, what do you plead?"

Seeming to ignore the question he asked. "Who are you"

Eternal smirked, "I am the one who is called on to remove someone from this world, I am the strongest and most powerful of my kind. Before you see, The Arch-Angel of Death, Estloma of Infinity. Now suffer for Eternity more fallen child, for the hands of hell have come to take you." Eternals hooves glowed with power as she appeared behind him, holding his detached head in her hoove. "I warned you did I not?" The light in eyes of the detached head started to fade. Eternals power faded away, and her voice returned to normal. "Your head will be a reminder to those of the church to never fuck with me." She turned around and saw fear-stricken guard ponies all pointing their spears at her, she ignored them and walked past.

"H-Halt! Y-You are U-Underarrest by the o-order of the P-P-Princess." Eternal to look at him and said one small simple sentence.

"Do you wish to die?" The guard ponies immediately shook their head, "Good now tell Pretty Celestia she has to get a new better doctor, and also get someone to clean this mess." She walked back towards Ace's room uncaring from the looks she got, She put the detached head inside her saddlebag. "I will keep her face from these weak ponies, we are planning on saving them and they p[lamn to kill us." She pulled out the blood-covered gem the Doctor was holding, she looked it over and gasped. "The church had a Hand of God?!" It was sapphire instead of the ruby gem that was inside Ace's chest. "So The Church is a threat, after all, I won't let ace have to deal with them. I will do it alone, or maybe I won't have to at all." She smirked as she looked at the Hand of God, but realized the blood covering her body. "Ah, that's why I have so many traumatized looks, that and I did just kill a pony and threaten the guards with sucess. Honestly, why does Celestia even have them, they are so pathetic? The only powerful one is Captain Shining Armor, and that's only because his special talent is shield magic. Whatever got to wash off, I can't have Ace see me like this."
