Mission 3: Retraining And Goetia Awakening

With Andrealphus

Despite being injured, Andrealphus wasn't phased in the slightest as he kept his strut with confidence. He entered his massive lair with an aura of authority and confidence, looking at his legion of demonic men who looked like SS officers. The legion of demonic men stood at attention at the sight of Andrealphus who smirked in satisfaction.

"At ease, gentlemen. Return to your posts. Dismissed." Andrealphus said with a smirk to which the men return back to their posts.

The blizzard peacock strutted his way to his personal chambers and entered, now seeing a vat of hellish fluids the side of a coffin next to his bed. But he was interested in what's in the vat. Inside is an anthropomorphic female bird demon with pinkish white feathers. She stood at the same height as Andrealphus, but she had a curvy physique. The blizzard peacock took off his clothes and dressed himself in a blue translucent robe before he treated his wounds properly.

The Banshee Aristocrat Of Pain: Stella Goetia

Now seeing Stella awakened, Andrealphus smirked as he drain the vat and opened it, to which Stella grabbed her respirator mask on pulled it off, coughing a bit as Andrealphus gave her a towel.

"You have awaken. Good~." Andrealphus said as he helped his sister out of the vat.

"Andrealphus...?" Stella said while Andrealphus gave her another towel.

"A lot has passed. And I suppose you have a lot of questions to answer." Andrealphus said as Stella dried herself.

"I do..." Stella said, until she saw a beautiful dress that hung by a mannequin. "Where are we?" She asked.

"A world we're everyone is ignorant to danger or in the ponies case; fearful and oppressive of those different from them. Imagine those insects serving the Kingdom of the Ars Goetia as their lives depend on it~." Andrealphus answered to which Stella smirked in amusement.

"A new kingdom you say?" Stella said while she took the dress from the mannequin.

"But of course. I know how much you wanted to rule your own empire. And your way of obtaining it." Andrealphus said while Stella started to dress herself. "I've sent a few lapdogs to cause some chaos on the ponies. Basically a few of their enemies that dare to cross and threatened them, and a few artificially made demons that I made myself. Three have been killed, but its a minor setback." He added.

"Are you certain that they'll follow your bidding? I'm sure that when those enemies of this pony nation see the chance to inevitably betray us, they'll take it." Stella said while she put on some jewelry.

"I have insurance for that, just in case they misbehave. They may be undisciplined, but they'll do their part." Andrealphus said, addressing to Beowulf.

"Good." Stella said with satisfaction, until Andrealphus noticed that one of his legionnaires brought in one of his lapdogs who had survived. That being Queen Chrysalis as the changeling queen had suffered her legs being severed.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to attend to one of my injured subordinates. She tried to conquer the capital but failed in the process." Andrealphus said as he proceeded to leave the room.

"Make sure that she suffers the consequences of her failure." Stella said sternly while looking back.

"With pleasure~." Andrealphus replied as he left the room. Stella then turned her attention to the porch that leads outside of the room.

"*chuckles evilly* Foolish mortal ponies.... just you wait..." Stella said while she walked outside. "The new Ars Goetia will be brought back... in the the divine flames of war." She said as she looked at the horizon.

With Sean

An unconscious Sean stirred around a bit as he was laying down on a bed for about an hour and 45 minutes due to him taking too much damage after fighting the child demon, Andrealphus, and Beowulf. Then he felt something land on his torso as his eyes slowly opened and his vision was blurry. That's until his vision cleared a bit and he saw an eagle sized avian demon that was sitting on his torso. The avian demon had dark blue feathers with purple tips, a black four-jawed beak with matching talons, and golden eyes. This avian demon is known as Griffon.

"SURPRISE!!!!" Griffon shouted to which Sean yelled and rose up in shock as Griffon jumped and flew back towards a now giggling Octavia, being absorbed into her left arm.

"What the fuck?!" Sean shouted as he shook his head. "Why am I undressed?" He said, noticing that he was wearing only his underwear.

"*giggled* Looks like the ointment that I made really worked." Octavia said as she sat by him at the bed.

"Okay, what did I miss?" Sean asked.

"Not much outside of bringing you inside a hut so you can rest. I also gained the familiars that V used to possess." Octavia answered.

"How were you able to do that? I thought they committed suicide by Dante." Sean said confusedly.

"We did! But fate had other plans for us. You should've seen how Tavi soloed the big bad kitty." Griffon said while he reappeared on Octavia's left arm.

"That easily? Remind me again on why Stolas had his doubts." Sean said, still wondering about the Goetia Prince's doubts about Octavia.

"Because the owl daddy doesn't realize his daughter's already grown up. Maybe he should stop thinking about his boyfriend for once in awhile." Griffon said to which Octavia smacked him upside the head. "I was half kidding!" He whined at being smacked.

"I wish you're wrong, but I know you aren't." Sean said to the avian familiar. That's when the hellhound cambion smells something brewing. "Why does it smell like soup all of a sudden?" He asked, until he noticed both Twilight and Zecora boiling a pot of soup over a bonfire.

"Thank All Mother that you're okay. I thought you weren't gonna wake up until nightfall." Twilight said to the hellhound cambion.

"What makes you think that?" Sean said with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't you get it?! You took a lot of damage to the point it would've killed anypony!" Twilight retorted defensively which made Sean and Octavia look at her unamusedly.

"Did you just forget that I'm not a pony, or what?" Sean said in a bored tone.

"At least you're not the one with a cloth on your face." Griffon said to Sean before laughing a bit, mentioning the piece of cloth on Twilight's face while Sean put his pants back on.

"Ugh! Ignoring the obnoxious chicken, I've been helping Zecora brew one of her special work that help as an unconventional medicine. I've also been learning more about them from this." Twilight said as she gives Sean a book titled "Supernaturals" to which he started viewing the pages.

"So this book is basically a guide to natural medicine, huh?" Sean said while he silently read, until knocking on the door was heard to which Zecora strutted over to the door to open it, only to get hugged unexpectedly. This spooked Sean to the point where he instantly got up and grabbed the Yamato that was by the bed, only to immediately drop his stance at the sight of Apple Bloom.

"Are ya okay, Zecora?" Apple Bloom said as she looked up to the zebra.

"My dear Apple Bloom, I am quite well." Zecora answered as she hugged the yellow filly back. "How did you make it here unscathed?" She asked Apple Bloom.

"Ah went through tha shortcut that tha girls and I use because they were a few demons fighting in tha middle of tha forest." Apple Bloom answered, then she noticed Sean and recognized him. "Hey. Ah remember you. Yer're with tha wolf lady who rescued me and mah friends." She said to Sean.

(Insert Ichigo confused face.)

"Apple Bloom. You know better than to venture into the forest all by yourself." Twilight said, scolding the yellow filly.

"Is this coming from the mare who tried to fight a marquis demon all by herself?" Octavia said unamusedly to Twilight, not in the mood for the lavender alicorn's bullshit.

"I see that you two know each other, hmm?" Zecora said to the hellhound cambion.

"Uhh... Well, kind of. My mother's the one who rescued her. I just helped." Sean replied, until he noticed the boiling pot.

"Now that the soup's ready. Why not try it?" Zecora said as she grabbed a bowl and poured some soup in it.

"Isn't that the soup you made for the kids at the hospital?" Apple Bloom asked as Zecora grabbed a spoon for the bowl.

"It is indeed." Zecora answered with a heart felt smile as she gave Sean the bowl of soup.

"Uhh... you're not gonna eat that, are you?" Griffon said to which Sean proved the avian familiar wrong as he started eating the soup while Zecora put out the fire underneath the pot.

"That answer your question?" Octavia said to the avian familiar with a smirk. Until she noticed Apple Bloom trying to get her attention.

"Howdy, miss. Ah'm Apple Bloom. Ah'm sorry for disturbing ya but ah've never seen anycreature as beautiful as ya are." Apple Bloom said innocently.

"Octavia." The young adult owl said with a smile, introducing herself. "And as for what I am, I'm an owl demon of the Goetia class." She explained.

"A demon? But how? Demons are usually scary lookin' and are usually in Tartarus because they once threatened ponykind, and ya look too beautiful ta be one." Apple Bloom said confusedly to which Octavia couldn't help but chuckle.

"And where did you learn that from?" Octavia asked.

"My granny." Apple Bloom answered innocently.

"Well half of it is true. Not all demons come from Tartarus. If anything, the more dangerous demons usually come from Hell." Octavia clarified.

"What's Hell? Is it like Tartarus?" Apple Bloom asked.

"No, honey. Tartarus is nothing but a prison ground compared to Hell. Its an afterlife dimension where the most evil souls are sent to, but sometimes even some good souls are ended up there for the dumbest reasons. Its infinite in size, meaning that there's a lot more demons and souls in Hell than they are in the living world." Octavia answered.

"Are... there any souls in Hell that are from bad ponies." Apple Bloom asked."

"Quite possibly. Though most of the souls that are brought down in Hell have been changed into many forms demons. Meaning that only a few resemble what they usually look like when they were still alive. We hellborns call these damned souls "sinners" due to them commiting act that would be considered sinful. Then there's the sinner overlords who are sinners that have gained a lot of power." Octavia answered.

"I can't believe you're teaching a filly demonology. And I highly doubt that anypony would be sent to Hell or whatever once they passed away." Twilight scoffed to which made Octavia annoyed.

"Apple Bloom, can you lean your head down for a second?" Octavia asked the yellow filly.

"Uhh.... sure." Apple Bloom said as she leaned her head down to which Octavia gently pressed two fingers in the yellow filly's scalp.

That's when Octavia ventured into her memories. More specifically the memories that involve the adult ponies commiting acts that would be considered sinful, such as the ponies in Ponyville including the Main 6 accusing Zecora as an evil witch, the adult ponies in Ponyville shunning and bullying the CMC all because of a gossip collum that the adult ponies created for entertainment, and much more. Once Octavia removed her fingers from Apple Bloom's scalp, she felt inner rage towards the ponies in Ponyville and was thinking about ways to make them suffer for what they've done to the innocent.

"Ah... Ah didn't know what ah was doin' wrong..." Apple Bloom stuttered.

"Of course you didn't. You're just a kid. You didn't do anything out of malice, so it wasn't your fault." Octavia said soothingly. That's until Sean got up and put his coach and boots back on after he finished his soup. He then grab his blades and opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked, until everyone in the hut felt the ground shake as if something big was walking around the forest.

"I need to kill something. I'll be back." Sean answered before he vanished out of thin air.

"Wha--what?!" Twilight stuttered in disbelief.

"Is she always like that?" Griffon said to Apple Bloom.

"Ah think so." Apple Bloom answered before Octavia telepathically ordered Griffon and Shadow to follow Sean but not before Shadow taking the core of Nightmare.

Everfree Forest, a few minutes later

Bodies of feral demons were littered across the forest floor as Sean walked towards a clear opening deep into the forest, only to see that its a giant lake that span across miles and was glossed by the sunlight. However, he noticed a Hell Gate 4 miles across the lake which was radiating with demonic energy. Sean's thoughts were interrupted when he felt the ground shake again as he heard a shout in the horizon that came from a centaur brute.

"PRINCESS TWILIGHT!!!!! SHOW YOURSELF!!!!! YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME!!!!!" a shout from a large centaur brute was heard, until the centaur made itself appeared on the other side of the lake and noticed the hellhound cambion standing near the lake. "You!!! Where is Celestia's little princess?!?! Start talking now or be destroyed!!!" The centaur brute demanded. To all of the ponies, it caused them to feel fear. But to Sean, only one emotion was radiating within him: Pure rage.

"That ugly fuck dares make a fucking demand and expects me to answer?!?! No matter. This thing's death will satisfy my rage." Sean growled in his thoughts as he grabbed The Jukebox Of Damnation and changed it's blade into that of a Tachi while his demonic aura started to glow.

"YOU IGNORANT CREATURE!!!!! I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER THE WRATH OF LORD TIREK!!!!!" the centaur brute now known as Tirek bellowed as he sent a massive punch towards Sean, only for the hellhound cambion to block it with The Jukebox Of Damnation. Then the centaur brute was sent stumbling back from a powerful shove from the hellhound cambion who had a psychopath pissed off face.

Deadly!

"So... You want to die?! I can arrange that!" Sean said as he unleashed a powerful sword beam to which Tirek try to block it but the kinetic force sent the centaur brute skidding back, knocking down several trees in the process.

Carnage!

Now sprouting to pairs of blackened angel wings, Sean flew at the centaur brute with intense speed that it pried the waters of the lake open until the hellhound cambion vanished out of thin air before Tirek could fire his magic blast. That's when the centaur brute felt a sharp pain on his left foreleg as Sean gashed it, causing Tirek to get on one knee for a bit.

Badass!

Enraged, Tirek got back up and started firing a barrage of magic blasts around the area in an attempt to hit Sean but the hellhound cambion avoid every last shot easily before unleashing another sword beam which hit Tirek in the face, only for the centaur brute to growl in annoyance and telekinetically throw Sean to the edge of a mountain with enough force to create a crater on it. Tirek then followed up by launching himself towards the mountain in an attempt to ram the hellhound cambion through the mountain. Bad idea as Sean used the combination of the Buster Ability and a quick burst of his proto-devil trigger to grab Tirek by the face and swung the Yamato 14 times at blinding speeds, then finishing up by slamming Tirek's face to the ground. Sean used his Buster Ability again to sent out a flurry of punches in rapid speeds which sent Tirek tumbling back before the hellhound cambion reverted back to his base form. The centaur brute then unleashed a barrage of magic blasts around the area to which Sean avoided without any effort with his wings.

Apocalypt--Savage!!

"Mind if I watch?" the voice of Discord said in Sean's head.

"What the hell are you doing in my head?!" Sean said suspiciously in his thoughts as he parried a punch from Tirek with The Jukebox Of Damnation.

"Well technically I'm not in your head. I'm still with Fluttershy. Trust me when I say this, but I know about this brute. He's a pathetic centaur who steals and consumes magic in order to compensate for something." Discord said as Sean avoided more magic blasts.

"So basically a magic eating, steroid infused parasite with a limp dick? Good thing I'm not holding back." Sean said said in his thoughts as he unleashed another sword beam that was infused with the Yamato's dark power which injured Tirek.

"Hahahaha!! Why didn't I thought of that?" Discord said, laughing at what Sean said about the centaur brute.

"HOLD STILL, CREATEN!!!!" Tirek bellowed in rage while he slammed his fists on the ground, causing a small earthquake. That's until Tirek was caught off guard when a barrage of lighting bolts hit him in his horse body. The lighting attack came from Griffon who dive bombed on Tirek's head and Shadow to rush in with whip-like tendrils striking at Tirek, causing the centaur brute to stumble while Nightmare started to gain form.

"This dipshit wants to be high and mighty! Let's strike him down!" Griffon said with determination as he, Shadow, and a now formed Nightmare preformed a combined attack with Shadow preforming a Hedgehog attack and Griffon preforming Round Robin that shocks and impales the centaur brute with needles while Nightmare sent massive punches at Tirek.

"I... WILL... DESTROY YOU!!!!!" Tirek bellowed as he sent several punches at the familiars but they easily avoided them with Shadow growling.

Sweet Skills!!

"Even the big bad kitty knows you got shit for brains!" Griffon taunted, understanding what Shadow said about the centaur brute.

Enraged, Tirek fired a magic beam at the familiars in order to cut them down, only for the familiars to avoid it and Shadow preformed Bayonet which hit Tirek in the sternum area before Shadow jumped off and landed on the lake. Then Nightmare landed an uppercut at Tirek's face and sent a left and right hook, only for the centaur brute to try and counterattack with punches of his own, until they got into a fist stalemate as both Nightmare and Tirek fired their respective beams at each other only for their stalemate to break when their respective beams cancelled out in an explosion. Seeing this as an opening, Sean flew in with the Yamato at hand to which Tirek shot a magic blast at the hellhound cambion, but to the centaur brute's surprise, Sean cut the magic projectile in two and sliced a chunk of Tirek's arm off. Before the centaur brute could process on what happened, Sean used his Buster Ability to grab Tirek by the face before preforming a double suplex and a pile drive.

Smoking Sexy Style!!

Nightmare vanished and reappeared with a double fisted slam towards the centaur brute's head but Tirek managed to block the attack, but Shadow turned into a venus flytrap and chomped into Tirek's torso, causing the centaur brute to stumble back, until Tirek was suddenly sent back a bit and he noticed a single gash on his torso that wasn't made by Shadow, but that when the centaur brute noticed Sean holding the Yamato in a pointing position with a few strains of blood on the blade. Tirek then fired a barrage of magic blasts that created explosions but it wasn't an attack, it was a diversion as the centaur brute disappeared from sight, much to Sean's irritation as the hellhound cambion swept the Yamato to his right side, flicking all of the blood off his blade in the process.

"He just ran away! What a pussy!" Griffon said while Nightmare vanished and Shadow reappeared next to the avian familiar, until Griffon noticed Sean approaching the Hell Gate. "Hey! Where are you going?!" The avian familiar called out.

"Tying up loose ends." Sean responded, until he noticed an orb that was powering up the Hell Gate to which the orb flew towards his opened palm.

Then the orb started to manifest itself into a retractable arm blade made of demonic black metal that was strapped to his left forearm with the blade itself being a dark green. Wanting to test out the new devil arm, Sean sliced the Hell Gate horizontally, causing the top part of the gate to fall down but Sean didn't give it a chance to fall down as he struck it with his new devil arm, causing it to explode into chunks of stone. That's when Sean saw a graving on the blade which said the devil arm's name: Quinkana.

"Heh. Can't wait to use this on the peacock." Sean said as he retracted the blade. "Huh. Discord must've left my mind when the fight stopped. What the hell is his game?" he said in his thoughts.

"Ha ha! I bet you can use that blade to carve an insulating apatath on his tombstone." Griffon said while hovering close to Sean.

"Now that the gate's destroyed, let's head back. Knowing Octavia, she's probably gonna kill me." Sean said before he ran back towards the direction of the hut with Griffon and Shadow following close behind.

Back with Octavia

"What are we gonna do?! Tirek's out there looking for me so he could steal my magic and all of the magic in Equestria!" Twilight ranted frantically in fear while pacing back and forth, until she got slapped in the face by her own arm possessed by an annoyed Octavia.

"Would you shut up?! Your ranting ain't gonna do shit for us!" Octavia said while reappearing in front of Twilight.

"Did you just possessed me?!" Twilight demanded angrily while flaring her wings.

"Yeah, and maybe I'll turn your ass into stone if you try anything! If the fucker you're talking about runs into Sean, I know that he'll use that parasite as big game practice." Octavia retorted with her eyes glowing which caused Twilight to step back while both Apple Bloom and Zecora stood back, not wanting to get on the young adult owl's bad side. "And besides, I let my new familiars keep him company so he doesn't get severely injured again." Octavia added in a matter-of-fact tone.

*THUD* "OW!! FUCK!!" The voice of Griffon shouted in pain from the other side of the door.

"I told you that's not a good way of opening the door." Sean's voice said from the other side of the door before he properly opened the door and let himself and the familiars in.

"You guys okay?" Octavia asked.

"Well outside of the flying chicken getting a concussion after ramming head first onto the door, we're good." Sean answered with a smirk.

"What about Tirek?! Did you encounter him?!" Twilight asked frantically to which Sean looked at her in confusion.

"I think she meant the giant centaur fuckhead that we just fought." Griffon clarified as he perched himself on Octavia's left arm.

"Wait! You fought him?!" Twilight asked frantically.

"Ha! More like kicked him in the ego testicles, that's what!" Griffon boasted which made Octavia chuckled a bit.

"The downside is that I didn't get the chance to kill him. The fucker ran away like a pussy. Something tells me that he one of Andrealphus' lapdogs." Sean said with annoyance as he leaned back on a nearby wall and crossed his arms.

"But why would that peacock need Tirek in the first place? I mean the one time Tirek teamed up with someone, he betrayed them on the spot." Twilight asked to which Sean realized something.

"Oh I will~. But I rather introduce some insurance I conjured up just in case my associates start to become... undisciplined~" the voice of Andrealphus echoed in Sean's memories.

"....Beowulf." Sean muttered as he remembered what Andrealphus said.

"What?" Twilight said in concern.

"I remember the reason why Andrealphus resurrected Beowulf. He keeping the Lightbeast as insurance just in case one of his lapdogs decides to betray him. Knowing that they probably have big egos, that damn peacock needed something in order to keep them in line." Sean replied seriously.

"Plus even without Beowulf, Andrealphus is powerful enough to freeze the plant, seven times over. The bastard's a walking natural disaster." Octavia added in before turning her attention towards Sean. "Sean... Whatever he's planning, its big. If Andrealphus really needs all of this, the lapdogs, resurrecting dead demons. The results of his plans could have an aftereffect on the biblical scale." She said to which Sean felt the gravity of what's happening.

"If that's true, how are ya gonna defeat all of 'em?" Apple Bloom asked to which Sean looked at the Yamato.

"This sword was a big reason why the Ars Goetia became a memory. but even with it, I don't think Its gonna be enough." Sean said with uncertainty.

"Look, I hate to interrupt this meeting, but I think we should find the others before we make a plan." Griffon stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Shit! I forgot about that." Octavia said in annoyance.

"Allow me to gide you. I know where to go in this forest." Zecora said as she put her cloak on and lead everyone outside.

"Let's hope we don't run into many feral demons." Octavia said before closing the door.

With Loona

Loona hacked her way through the brushes with Inostrancevia as she kept an eye out for either her son or Octavia. She wasn't phased by the appearance of the forest in the slightest as she has seen way more scarier shit in her life. That's until she spotted the Gates Of Tartarus.

"Uhh, you two want to take a look at this." Loona said to which Spike and Millie caught up and saw the gates themselves.

"Those are the Gates Of Tartarus!" Spike exclaimed, until he noticed Loona approaching the gates while she put Inostrancevia on her back. "Ms. Silver-Wolf, what are you doing?" He asked.

"Taking a look inside. I need to know what behind these gates." Loona answered seriously.

"There are prisoners of Equestria and demons behind those gates!" Spike said, trying to sway Loona from the gates, but it proved fruitless.

"Have you forgotten, Spike? I'm also a demon." Loona said as she effortlessly slammed opened the gates, much to Spike's shock.

Loona, Spike, and Millie then entered across the gates. What the hellhound saw was a pocket realm in the form of a glorified prison or dungeon while looked really terrifying, it was nothing compared to Hell. Loona also noticed that the cages which makes up Tartarus housed a lot of creatures of different shapes and sizes. She also noticed that the gates closed themselves behind her but she didn't care as she lit up another cigarette while continuing to observe the prison realm.

"So this is the realm that the ponies compare Hell to? Not even impressed in the slightest." Loona said with a bored tone while she walking deeper into the prison realm.

"You're serious? How can you not be phased by this?" Spike asked.

"Oh, come on, honey. It can't be that scary." Millie said casually, until they heard demonic screeches coming from every corner of the prison realm as a bunch of feral looking imps armed with crooked spears and knives. "Ooh! This will be exciting!" She said with a grin as she equipped herself with her axe.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun." Loona said as she grabbed Inostrancevia, readying herself. Until she sliced five attacking imps in two.

Deadly!

The onslaught began as Loona started sweeping through the horde with fast pace slashes. She then preformed a Stinger before cancelling out with Million Slice in which she creates a doppelganger of herself made of demonic energy that slices all of the unfortunate enemies in close proximity.

Carnage!

Millie then joined in as she twirled her axe which sliced through the horde before she planted the axe on the ground and started to swing herself several times, kicking the feral imps that surrounded her in the process. Then Millie threw the axe at the remaining feral imps which sliced through a few of them before she started tearing the rest of the feral imps with her bare hands, turning them into nothing but spilled blood and organs before she retrieved her axe and continued hacking through the horde.

Badass!

Loona continued strolling down the walkway while cutting down the feral imps that dared to come close to her. She also use the Gilgamesh metal properties of Inostrancevia by swinging it hard enough to create shockwaves out of nowhere to knock the remaining feral imps off the walkway and sending them falling down the caverns. That's until a stray feral imp almost grazed her face with a knife but out of reflex, Loona parried and sliced the feral imp in two, only to realize that the imp caused her to loose her cigarette.

Apocalyptic!

"That was my last cigarette." Loona growled in annoyance before she summoned Sky out and preformed a Roundtrip which shredded through the rest of the horde. Then she summoned her Gilgamesh gauntlets and started beating the shit out of the feral imps by preforming Gilgamesh Combo B and after doing a rapid kick, she preformed Kick 13 which tore through the feral imps like tissue paper while Sky used her shapeshifting abilities to cut through the horde of feral imps, such as turning her claws into jagged blades and her tail into a whip scythe. Wanting to clean up, Loona summoned the Black Shuck and sent it to maul to last remaining feral imps and devour their souls.

Savage!!

Loona caught Inostrancevia and kept on walking while she kept the Black Shuck off his "leash", allowing her quadruped hellhound familiar to feast on the souls of the dead feral imps while Loona dismissed her Gilgamesh gauntlets and replace Inostrancevia on her back. Spike didn't even need to fire a shot as Loona, Sky, and Millie did all of the killing. Millie flicked the blood off her axe while Sky turned her hands and tail back to normal and shook the blood off her fur.

Stylish points: 23700

"Well that was a good warm up." Millie said casually as she and Sky regrouped with her.

"Its a shame that we didn't leave some for Spikey to kill." Sky said with pity.

"Uhh... I'm okay without a kill rank." Spike said dismissively, following close behind.

"You really need to get laid, sugar." Millie said out of the blue which caused Spike to blush. That's until they noticed that Loona stopped a bit. "Why are ya stopping, Loo'." She asked Loona.

"You see what's in that giant hollow stalagmite over there?" Loona said while pointing at the hollow stalagmite that she was talking about.

Spike, Sky, and Millie looked what was in that hollow stalagmite and were shocked at what they saw. Inside was Celestia who was bounded by chains and wearing only a white torn robe.

"Is that...?" Millie asked in shock.

"Yeah. Its her." Loona answered seriously.

"I thought Stolas kept her soul." Sky said in both shock and confusion.

"So did I." Loona said as she continued walking towards the hollow stalagmite.

That's until she was blocked by Cerberus, a three headed hellhound that was a guard dog of Tartarus. Cerberus started barking at the demon ladies to which Sky and Millie got ready in case the guard dog was itching for a fight.

"Stand down, you two. I got this." Loona said before she started approaching Cerberus.

Seeing this, Cerberus was about to pounce at the mother hellhound but the guard dog froze when he saw the cold, stern, serious stare and the dark aura that Loona was giving. This caused Cerberus to whine in fear as he started to back away while Loona kept walking. What also scared Cerberus more was the death-like aura that the Black Shuck was giving off as the eyes of the quadruped hellhound familiar started to glow a crimson red which forced Cerberus to submit.

"Good boy. You just made a smart decision." Loona said in a satisfied tone as she walked past Cerberus who never dare to cross her.

"How were you able to get Cerberus to submit like that?" Spike asked, amazed at what he whiteness.

"Demonic aura. Most if not all beings are capable of feeling the paranormal energy of a demon in present. Plus I also have a death hound that eats magic and souls for breakfast." Loona answered.

"Aww... He's not so bad when he's not in guard dog mode." Millie commented while she pet Cerberus.

Loona entered the hollow stalagmite and saw that over her head was a unconscious Celestia who's currently chained up to the two inner walls of the stalagmite. Knowing what to do, Loona grabbed Inostrancevia and once she changed it into it's scythe form, she threw it at the chains to cut them down and like a boomerang, Inostrancevia flew back into Loona's grasp as the Black Shuck caught Celestia on his back while Loona replace Inostrancevia on her back. Celestia start to regain consciousness and once she saw Loona, Celestia jumped back and fired a magic blast at Loona, only for the mother hellhound to catch it with her hand, much to Celestia's shock and disbelief.

"Now that's a stupid way to say thank you. But I've seen worse." Loona said as she crushed the magic in her palm.

"Spare me the jest, demon! I'll never let Andrealphus take over Equestria!" Celestia shouted angrily as she charged up her magic, only for a pissed off Loona to backhand slap her on the horn, causing Celestia to scream in agony as her magic became unstable. That's when Loona grabbed Celestia by the throat and hoisted the alabaster alicorn.

"How the fuck do you know that name?! And what makes you think that I'm with that fucking peacock?!?!" Loona demanded aggressively while Celestia tried to break free.

"Ms. Silver-Wolf, wait!!" Spike called out but Loona didn't pay attention as she punched Celestia in the stomach while letting her go. The alabaster alicorn started to cough and gasp for air while she got into a fetal position.

"*cough* *wheeze* What?! You're not working for Andrealphus?!" Celestia cried out, only for her to be put on her back by Loona who pulled out Vox.

"Start talking now, or I'll turn your royal ass into ground beef!!" Loona demanded aggressively while she positioned the blade of Vox near Celestia's neck.

"*gag*I was *cough* I was set up! Andrealphus came to me in my day court, telling me that he can offer me the means to protect Equestria!" Celestia answered while she struggled underneath the mother hellhound. "But when I found out that it was a ruse, it was too late!" She added.

Flashback, Canterlot Castle

Celestia sat there on her throne, bored out of her mind as the snobby nobles continue to complain about stupid shit like high taxes for the wealthy or whatever. That's when Celestia felt the atmosphere getting cold for some reason which was odd considering that it was scheduled for warmer days. Her thoughts were interrupted when the doors to her throne room opened, revealing not a pony, but Andrealphus who strolled in the throne room, much to all of the ponies' shock.

"What is this?! Who are you?!" Celestia demanded as she stood up and flared her wings, but this didn't phase the blizzard peacock in the slightest.

"Is that a way to treat a guest in your castle? Or have these pathetic upper class ponies deteriorated your sense of mannerisms~?" Andrealphus said before he took a sip of his wine to which Celestia gave out a stern glare.

"Who are you to insult us?! Do you not know who you're talking to?!" A stallion noble shouted angrily to which Andrealphus shut the stallion up by freezing his entire body, much to the horror of everyone in the throne room.

"Unless you want to be frozen, leave us." Andrealphus said sternly to all of the nobles who then ran out of the throne room, scared. Andrealphus then turned his attention towards Celestia who was still shook up. "I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here, right~?" he said to the solar monarch.

"What is it that you're doing here?! And more importantly, what makes you think that you could just freeze my subjects the way you see fit?!" Celestia demanded angrily.

"And here I thought we're gonna talk this out in a more civilized manner~. Well then... I'll cut to the business at hand~. My name's Andrealphus: Marquis ruler of The Treachery Ring in Hell. I'm here to to increase the potential security for this lovely country." Andrealphus said, walking past the frozen stallion noble.

"My country is fine the way it is! I don't need an outsider to run it for me!" Celestia said, not liking someone to tell her how to run a country. Andrealphus' patience was wearing thin. He knew that this pony wasn't gonna plan on listening to his reasons.

"*sigh* All I'm trying to say is that I'm offering you a deal: You leave the safety of this land to me and you can live your life without the burdens of your unappreciated work schedule. After all, you need a life long vacation from the stress of your work." Andrealphus stated. That's until he was caught off guard when Celestia shot a magic blast towards him to which it exploded, only for it to not affect the blizzard peacock.

"I WILL NOT HAND OVER MY KINGDOM!!!! NOW GET OUT BEFORE YOU'LL FEEL MY POWER!!!!" Celestia shouted angrily, until she was unexpectedly sent flying off her throne, thanks to Andrealphus summoning Beowulf. Celestia tried to fire another magic blast but Beowulf punched the solar monarch so hard that she was sent to a wall which caved in, sending her into a fit of agony.

"*sigh* I wish you would've chosen to accept the deal without any backlash." Andrealphus said as he pulled Celestia out of the wall, only to drop her on the floor."You could've taken the deal for the sake of your subjects but your arrogance and wanting to be on top made it way too hard for that. Let's see how your subjects react to the "real" you." he added.

"My ponies will never believe you!" Celestia said angrily before coughing out blood.

"Of course they will. They're just as unintelligent as sheep." Andrealphus said before he snapped his fingers to which sent Celestia to Tartarus. Andrealphus then created a doppelganger of Celestia in place of the throne before leaving.

Flashback ends

"I ended up here, bounded by chains in the very same demonic dungeon that I imprisoned most of Equestria's dire threats. I tried to defend Equestria but I failed and this is the result of my failure. Do what you want with me, but please, don't let my ponies be enslaved by that monster." Celestia said with guilt. Despite not believing this, Loona step back from the solar monarch and dismissed Vox.

"Fine. I'll let you live for now. But if you fuck with me, I won't hesitate to send you to a hellhole worse than this." Loona said sternly in a tone that sent a chill down Celestia's spine.

"You sure about this? Letting her live and such?" Millie asked with concern to which Loona nodded in response.

"I'm sure she's got a plan." Sky said before she let herself get absorbed into Loona's left arm.

"*sigh* Let's get outta here. I'm getting sick of this prison." Loona said as she started walking back towards the gate.

"Wait! What about--?" Celestia said but was interrupted when the aura from the Black Shuck knocked her out, but not before the quadruped hellhound familiar caught Celestia with his back. Loona saw that Spike was a little worried about the solar monarch.

"Don't worry. She's just knocked out from the amount of energy she felt. She'll wake up soon." Loona said to the young dragon, until she pulled the gates of Tartarus open, letting themselves out of the prison realm.

A the edge of Ponyville, outside of the Everfree Forest

After the long trek out of the Everfree Forest, both Sean and Octavia were the first to made it to the clearing while Twilight, Apple Bloom, and Zecora followed close behind. That's when Apple Bloom, Twilight, and Zecora noticed the Cavaliere parked next to silver Ferrari.

"Was somepony lookin' fer ya?" Apple Bloom asked to which Sean and Octavia saw the devil bike.

"Shit! Loona must've been looking for us." Octavia said as she approached her car.

"Loona?" Both Twilight and Zecora said in unison.

"My mother." Sean replied as he went to join Octavia who was looking inside of her car.

"Of course she must've took some of the guns." Octavia said as she sat on the driver seat.

"Hot damn, this is some good leather." Griffon said while he sat on the passenger seat and Shadow laying on the roof of the car. That's when Sean and Octavia noticed a van from a far distance.

"Great. Tourist." Twilight said in annoyance as she, Apple Bloom, and Zecora saw the van.

"Its not tourist." Loona said as she, Millie, and Spike appeared from the forest with the Black Shuck carrying Celestia on his back.

"Celestia!" Twilight called out as she ran towards her former mentor to help her out.

"Hey, Mom. I see you let your death dog loose." Sean said to which Loona approached her son and hugged him.

"Sorry I was late, baby. I had a few bumps on the way." Loona said as she nuzzled his cheek, until she noticed something wrong about her son. "Are you okay? What happened?" She asked with concern as she looked at him in the eye to which he exhaled.

"Mom, there's something I need to tell you." Sean began but was interrupted when a car horn honked to which he turned his attention towards the van and the occupants he knew all too well.

"Hey, everyone! How's the tuxedo hunting business?" Blitzø said as he and Moxxie got out of the van, surprising the ponies and Spike while Millie went to hug Moxxie.

"What are you and Moxxie doing here, Dad?" Loona asked her idiot of an adoptive father.

"Well, honey. You see Mr. Devil Hunting Rockstar himself had contacted me about you, your kid, and Mills not responding about the current situation. So we were sent through on of the portals in Hell and we just ended up right here in magic candy horse land." Blitzø answered with a smirk to which Loona cursed herself for not updating Dante on her current condition.

"Damnit! I should've called Dante sooner. And of course YOU would like it here." Loona replied with an eye roll.

"Umm, excuse me? But we're ponies. Not horses." Twilight said which got Blitzø's attention.

"Same difference." Blitzø replied before moving over to introduce himself. "Hey there! The name's Blitzø. The O is silent. Founder and boss of the Immediate Murder Professionals. If you need someone who screwed you over dead, we're the kick-ass team for that." He said as he gave Twilight a business card.

"Nice to meet you... I guess." Twilight said sheepishly as she took the card.

"What are you--?" *THUD* "OW!!" Griffon cried out in pain from hitting the ceiling of the car which caused Shadow to get off the roof.

"Oh, come on! That ceiling's padded with leather, wimp chicken!" Sean said to which Griffon flew out of the car much to Octavia's annoyance.

"Who are you calling a wimp chicken, you edge wolf--BAGAK!!" Griffon said but was interrupted when Loona grabbed him by the neck.

"How the fuck are you still alive?" Loona demanded angrily while Griffon tried to break free.

"*hak* I don't know! I just am! Now could you let me go?! I'm not into being choked by a hot woman!" Griffon said while trying to break free.

"Loona, let him go." Octavia said as she got out of the car to which Loona let Griffon go while the avian familiar started to gasp for air.

"Via?! Is that you, my owlet?" Stolas' voice said from Blitzø's van as the owl daddy got out of the van.

"Dad?!" Octavia said before she ran towards Stolas and hugged him.

"I'm so glad that you're okay! I was looking all over for you when you were not at home." Stolas said as he hugged Octavia back while almost bursting into tears.

"I'm sorry, Dad..." Octavia said, her voice breaking from nearly crying. That's when Loona noticed her son standing several feet away from the group, looking at the town a few yards ahead.

"Sean...?" Loona said to her son with concern to which got Stolas and Octavia's attention who saw the hellhound cambion looking tense as he exhaled.

"This whole thing with us being here just went red on the fuck scale. Not only are we dealing with that stupid ass organization of demon-obsessed idiots, but we're dealing with the rebirth of The Ars Goetia." Sean said seriously.

"That's gotta be bullshit! The last time I checked, everyone in that class except Stolas and Via are dead, thanks to your old man." Blitzø said, not believing what he heard.

"It would've been true if I hadn't run into Andrealphus!" Sean retorted with a growl which, Loona, Stolas, Blitzø, Millie and Moxxie had a cold chill down their spines.

"Andrealphus is alive?!" Stolas said with shock and outrage.

"Its true, Dad! Sean and I saw him with our own eyes. And he's planning something for this world." Octavia said for Sean.

"Do any of you know what he's planning?" Stolas asked anyone near him.

"Resurrecting Stella and starting a global war so that he could turn everything around here into his personal empire with him and his fucking sister as the rulers." Sean answered with a growl. This alone infuriated Stolas as the thought of Andrealphus resurrecting Stella angered him to the core.

"No!! There's no fucking way! That bitch is dead AND I FUCKING KNOW IT!!!" Stolas said angrily to which Sean turned around and grabbed the owl daddy by the collar with a pissed off look on his face.

"I WOULD'VE AGREED IF THAT PEACOCK FUCK DIDN'T SIC BEOWULF ON ME!!! IF HE COULD RESURRECT THE SAME FUCKER THAT HAS A HATE BONER FOR MY BLOODLINE, THEN HE COULD RESURRECT STELLA LIKE IF ITS NOTHING!!!!!" Sean yelled with an enraged tone to which Loona had to separate the two.

"Knock it off, both of you!! We're not going anywhere like this! If we really are dealing with the Goetias again, we need to find out what they're after and we're gonna need a plan." Loona said sternly.

"What would you suggest? I mean we're also dealing with Equestria's enemies on top of that." Twilight asked, joining in the conversation.

"Well, we do have blessed tip guns that could get rid of demons quite easily. But even they have their limits." Moxxie said, listing the armament that he and Blitzø brought.

"Wait! You brought guns into my country?!" Celestia demanded angrily.

"Yes, because "your" county could've been taken over if we didn't brought our weapons with us, dipshit!" Loona said in annoyance.

"While I appreciate you saving Equestria, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to confiscated all of your guns." Celestia said sternly while her hands glowed with magic. That's when a shot towards the front of her feet stopped her on her tracks. That's when Celestia saw Sean aiming The Silver Dragon at her.

"That's not your fucking decision to make!" Sean growled as at once, Loona pulled out her Killer7, Blitzø pulled out his flintlock pistol, Octavia pulled out her blessed tip USP Expert handgun, and Moxxie pulled out his blessed tip sniper rifle. All of them aiming at Celestia.

"Anyone who thinks that they can take away my guns will be riddled with lead!" Moxxie hissed while he aimed at Celestia.

"Look as much as I love horses, I'm gonna have to agree with Moxx on this one. We're keeping our guns, and if you don't fucking like it, its your funeral." Blitzø said, a little calm than usual. That's when Twilight stood in front of Celestia with her arms raised.

"Please! I know that you don't care about the laws Celestia has laid out for Equestria, but you don't have to kill her just to keep your weapons. I mean without your help, everypony would've been imprisoned by Chrysalis and Sombra. How about this, you can keep your guns and you don't have to worry about Celestia or anypony touching them." Twilight said in order to calm the standoff.

"Twilight. You know better than to make deals that break Equestrian law." Celestia said sternly, but Twilight wasn't having it.

"And you should know better than to pick a fight with beings stronger than you! These demons were capable of doing something better than my friends and I could do, and that is get rid of the threats in Equestria permanently. I now see the results of their work and I can't deny it, even if I wanted to. I'm sorry, Celestia. But your laws do more harm than good. Plus I owe Spike a lot of money." Twilight said which caught Celestia off guard.

"Twilight? What have they done to you?" Celestia asked her former student.

"All they did was showed me the sins I've committed and they've showed me that even ponies can commit the most horrid acts of evil all because of fear. They even showed me the punishments for said sins. I mean I've seen Ms. Silver-Wolf slaughtered Chrysalis' army without breaking a sweat and she also crippled Chrysalis and killed Sombra. For Equestria's sake, I even saw her son fight Andrealphus one-on-one!" Twilight answered as everyone aiming their guns at Celestia lowered them.

"*sigh* But what about you and your friends? Surely with the Elements Of Harmony and The Magic Of Friendship, you could stop Andrealphus from completing his goals." Celestia asked her former student.

"With all due respect, Celestia. But that's a terrible idea. My friends and I wouldn't stand a chance against powerful demons like Andrealphus." Twilight answered to which Celestia didn't like hearing it.

"Was all of the lessons that I've given you for nothing? Did you forget about your destined to do after the threats you faced?" Celestia said, not very pleased with her former student.

"Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast or something?!" Stolas angrily said, getting irritated by Celestia's stupidity.

"Excuse me?!" Celestia said, feeling insulted by the owl daddy.

"What my dad is trying to say is that do you think that sending six unarmed and undertrained civilians with little to no combat experience against not one, but two Goetia class demons with over 30 legions of demons would be a great idea? You'll just end up sending "your" ponies to their deaths." Octavia said with a stern glare.

"And if Andrealphus sends Beowulf to the fight, Twilight and her friends would be no less than fucked since we're talking about a pissed off demon that can punch with the force of a supernova." Sean added in with his arms crossed.

"Wait, what?!" Twilight said, enraged at her former mentor suggesting that she and her friends should fight Andrealphus and Beowulf with The Magic Of Friendship.

"Twilight! You know this is the only way to save Equestria!" Celestia said sternly but Twilight wasn't having it.

"No! There are other ways and I've seen it!" Twilight said in frustration before turning her attention towards Loona. "Ms. Silver-Wolf, I know that we didn't see eye-to-eye when we first met, but I can't deny the fact that you did a lot more than my friends and I could. I mean we never dealt with demons before, aside from Sombra. You're right, maybe my friends and I should leave the fighting to the experts like you and your son." She said much to Celestia's shock and dismay.

"So you're willing to stay out of the fight then?" Loona said with a raised eyebrow.

"I've learned my lesson when I tried to fight Andrealphus with just the knowledge I've learned on how to use my magic. Turns out it was nothing but useless shit against a demon." Twilight said while pointing at the bandage cloth on her cheek. "But I can help with gathering everypony to safety just in case the war spills into Equestria. Its my responsibility as a princess after all." She added.

"I'll leave the herding to you. Besides, you won't have to get bored." Loona replied.

"Okay. So, first we're dealing with the government wannabe morons who've been making Hell Gates all across the three worlds, including this one, but now we're dealing with the Goetias? Is anyone here thinking that we're gonna be spread thin in this three-way war?" Moxxie discussed to everyone, until he heard Blitzø holding down a laugh when Moxxie said "three-way". "Can you please be a little mature, sir?" Moxxie said to his boss in an unamused tone.

"Come on, Moxx. You need a little humor in your life." Blitzø said dismissively.

"Moxxie's right. We're gonna be spread thin just by fighting two factions. And since we're gonna be facing the Goetias, we're gonna need a lot of firepower that we can get. Practical firepower." Millie said, agreeing with her husband.

"Or just power in general." Sean said which got everyone's attention.

"Sean...?" Octavia said with concern.

"If I'm gonna be fighting the fuckhead siblings solo, I'm gonna need more power. And knowing Stella, she would be seeking out more power for herself if she wants to become this world's new queen." Sean said seriously.

"And what kind of power are you talking about? I mean how much exactly?" Moxxie asked.

"Enough to kill both Mundus and Urizen, 17 times over." Sean answered. This is when Stolas started to smirk as he got an idea.

"Have you forgotten that you already possess that power?" Stolas said smugly to the hellhound cambion. This got everyone's attention.

"What are you getting at, Stolas?" Blitzø asked while looking at the owl daddy with suspicion.

"What am I getting at? Have you forgotten, Blitzy? Sean here is the grandson of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda. The same demon that fought entire legions singlehandedly." Stolas answered while walking around Sean. "Despite his hellhound appearance, Sean possesses the same power that made Lord Sparda a legend in the first place. The same power that no other demon and especially mere mortal souls could possibly possess, let alone wield. How else could Lord Sparda's bloodline kill even the most powerful of demons without the usage of holy weapons?" Stolas explained.

"That's when the devil arms come in." Sean said simply, until he felt Stolas' fingers underneath his lower jaw.

"Well what I'm saying is that there's still a lot of power, its just that its been laying dormant for too long. And since Vergil's not here to take the responsibility, I'll have to do it." Stolas replied back with determination.

"Oh, shit! Does the powerful Lord Stolas: The Owl Of Death ride again?" Griffon said to which made the ponies and Spike look at the avian familiar.

"Umm... what?" Twilight said confusedly.

"You see, my dear Twilight, I'm more than just a prince in terms of royal rank. In terms of real power, I also hold that rank and the rank of mentor in demonic powers for the grandson of Sparda himself." Stolas said to the lavender alicorn. "And unlike your former mentor, I teach the more practical lessons." He added to which Celestia looked at him in distain.

"So how are we gonna do this? I mean I don't see a training arena here." Moxxie asked, until Spike got an idea.

"There's a stadium at The Crystal Empire that's been used to host a lot of games yearly. I'm sure you guys can use it for combat training." Spike suggested.

"How big is the stadium?" Moxxie asked.

"Enough to fit five football fields." Spike answered simply.

"So how are we gonna get there? I mean its a long drive away." Twilight said, until Stolas opened a portal leading to The Crystal Empire.

"Now that takes care of that." Stolas suggested to which Octavia and Sean got into the silver Ferrari and Blitzø, Stolas, and Moxxie getting in the I.M.P. van while Twilight, Apple Bloom, and Zecora had to get inside of said van.

"I'm gonna need to contact Nico and tell her where we're gonna be at." Loona said as she, Millie, and Spike got on the Cavaliere before all three vehicles drove through the portal.

Crystal Empire Stadium, 2 hours later

Thanks to Stolas' help, Loona did managed to gather the Main 6, the princesses, and non-ponies alongside Apple Bloom and Zecora their seats on the stadium while the DMC and IMP crew got their first row seats. Loona did explained to the ponies and non-ponies about why Celestia was here and to say that they were shocked would be an understatement. As for Sean and Stolas, they were participating themselves in the stadium floor. Instead of wearing his royal attire, Stolas was wearing a black shirt with a dark royal purple cloak on top and matching pants. Sean on the other hand was wearing a black shirt and the pants and boots he's been wearing since the time he got into the pony dimension. He was also wearing his scarf that he gave to Selene as the lunar princess gave it back to him. The only weapon he bought was the Yamato since it was one of the only few devil arms bonded to the Sparda Bloodline. Everyone could feel the tension in air that was so thick, it could be cut with a knife. Even Celestia and Selene could feel it, they also noticed that this is a matter between mentor and student that couldn't be interrupted.

"Its been awhile since we had this tutoring. The first time we did this lesson, you were only eight years old. Time does fly fast, even in Hell. I still remembered those days when you, a young pup started to come to my palace in order to control your demonic powers." Stolas said with his eyes closed, remembering his time as Lincoln's mentor in demonic powers. "I miss those days." He added.

"This is your chance to relive it." Sean said with a low dedicated tone.

"Tell me something. How much do love my little starfire?" Stolas asked.

"No words can describe how much I love her. If anyone dared harm her, I would slaughter them slowly and send them to the deepest pits of Hell." Sean answered with a noticable growl-like tone.

"Trust me when I say I would do the same thing." Stolas replied back.

"Something tells me that this is gonna be intense." Cadence whispered to Selene who nodded in response.

"The moment I saw your eyes, you reminded me of the Dark Knight Sparda. I knew you have potential to become a master of the blade just like him. And after all these years of training, I even saw you as my own son and I was honored to be your godfather." Stolas said with a heartfelt tone as he opened his eyes and summoned a spadroon sword made of the most fanciest and durable metal in Hell which surprised that Equestrians and Rarity was admiring the weapon with fascination. "Now I need you to shed your restraints. Give in to your true power. Become the devil warrior like Sparda did. Become your true self. The real Sean Silver-Wolf: The Grandson Of Sparda." He added while he got into his stance.

(A/N: Just pretend that its Stolas doing this stance and not Count Dooku. RIP Sr. Christopher Lee.)

"With pleasure." Sean growled as he unsheathed the Yamato and got into his own stance. Now giving in to his true self.

Loona took a coin out of her coat pocket and threw it in the air. Once the coin hit the ground with a metallic tink, both the demon wolf and owl started the duel instantly as they started clashing blades while moving so fast that the every non-demon had a hard time keeping track of them. Sean used his aggressive Djem-So and Juyo attacks to strike at Stolas in the head and torso region but Stolas parried and counterattacked all of them with his Makashi and Ataru attacks that put both combatants in a stalemate. While attacking each other, both Sean and Stolas were zooming around the field of the stadium with intense speeds it almost looks like they're teleporting as they going at it with strikes at their head and torso regions. Sean then did an overhead slash in mid-air to which Stolas block it with the kinetic force sending the owl daddy back, but he caught himself by landing on a guard rail for the seats before jumping off the rail and meeting Sean head on with a few Ataru strikes to which Sean met up with his own aggressive Juyo strikes. Both Sean and Stolas' sword strikes were so powerful they were creating small shockwaves that everyone felt. Everyone except the DMC and I.M.P. crew watch in amazement at the the two demons performance.

"What's the matter? Am I moving too slow for you? Just say it! I can move faster if you like!" Sean said as he kept up his blinding assault.

"That's exactly what I want to see from you, Sean!" Stolas said before he vanished out of thin air and reappeared behind, ready to strike, but Sean parried the attack barley.

"He got faster! If this is what Stolas wants to play by, so be it!!" Sean said in his thoughts while he got into a blade lock.

"Don't tell me that this is all you have! I've trained you better than that!" Stolas said with a stern tone.

"You want me to go further?! Fine!! You're getting the fucking scars!" Sean said angrily as he pushed Stolas back before continuing his onslaught of attacks, only for Stolas to avoid by jumping back, however Sean didn't even give Stolas a chance to gain breathing room.

"Damnit! How am I able to gain analysis if I can get a beat on those two?!" Twilight said in frustration as she tried to take notes on the duel.

"Dangnabit, Twi'! Not everything's an experiment." Applejack said in annoyance.

"Applejack's right. Not everything's about numbers or whatever." Starlight agreed.

"Oh, my goodness!! This duel's amazing!" Silverstream said in awe.

"Are you guys wishing you can fight like this?" Smolder asked the rest of the ponies and non-ponies.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't. I mean nothing on the books that I've read said that demons could fight like this." Gallus answered to which his friends looked at him. "What? I've been studying." He added.

"Its still amazing that they can fight this fast. I really need to train my guards harder." Selene said while she watched the duel with fascination.

"I never thought that they could fight like this. What makes them different compare to the other demons?" Celestia asked as she watched in interest.

"Well, sun tits, both the hellhound kid and the owl daddy are both high ranking demons and were born with insane, broken as fuck power potential." Griffon answered Celestia.

"How the fuck do you know all this?" Blitzø asked the avian familiar.

"I've gained a lot of info from Hell when I was contracted with V." Griffon answered.

"Oh, from that incident with that hot garbage tree. Now I remember." Blitzø said with a smirk.

Stolas ramped up his attacks with such ferocity that it kept the pressure on Sean with several fast pace strikes at the neck and torso regions, only for them to be parried by the hellhound cambion with equally aggressive strikes, forcing them to break the stalemate until Sean did an overhead slash towards Stolas only for the owl daddy to block it with a second spadroon identical to the other one. Taking the opportunity of an opening, Stolas instantly swung his spadroon at Sean's torso, only for the hellhound cambion to avoid it and swung at Stolas' torso but the owl daddy parried it and knock the Yamato out of Sean's grip and preformed a Stinger with his left spadroon, only for Sean to catch it with his Devil Bringer which resulted in a small shockwave, much to the shock of the ponies and non-ponies and Moxxie.

"Now we're getting somewhere." Stolas said to the hellhound cambion with a stern but satisfied tone.

"Where the fuck was this side of you, Stolas?" Sean growled before he threw Stolas to another guard rail, but the owl daddy caught himself, only to find out that his left spadroon is gone.

Stolas turned his head around and saw that Sean had the second spadroon in the grip of his left hand as the hellhound cambion rushed towards Stolas with faster than light speeds, only for the owl daddy to avoid a swing by jumping overhead, but ended up getting a backfist to the chest from Sean's Devil Bringer, sending Stolas skidding back on his talons. Sean however didn't give Stolas any breathing room as he swung at Stolas' neck region several times at blinding speeds but the owl daddy parried all of them easily before disarming the hellhound cambion again. That's when Stolas got the surprise of his life as he unexpectedly received a direct punch on the left side of his face from Sean's Devil Bringer, almost causing Stolas to stumble back but the owl daddy slammed his right foot so hard that it cracked the ground. Everyone on the stage seats, even the DMC and I.M.P. crew were stunned at what they just witnessed while Stolas spat some blood on the floor and saw Sean glowing with sapphire blue and violet demonic energy.

"Finally! You're breaking your chains! Break some more!!" Stolas shouted while he started to glow with his own black red demonic aura and sent a blade beam towards Sean, only for the hellhound cambion to dodge it and used his Buster Ability to grab Stolas but the owl daddy broke free and swung his sword at Sean's neck and shoulder region at blinding speeds but Sean dodged all of them and grabbed the blade of the spadroon with his left hand.

"How did it feel, ya old owl?" Sean growled with a satisfied grin but was still angry.

"Ha!! That stung! Nobody could make me bleed like that! But I shouldn't be surprised since your arm was made to fuck up even the most powerful demons!" Stolas answered with an excitement.

"Then you're gonna like this!" Sean said as he landed another punch which sent Stolas skidding back on his talons.

"Did any of you guys heard that crunch?" Gallus asked everyone close to him.

"Yona not believe owl prince still standing from powerful hit." Yona replied.

"Damn, Stolas is really toughening himself out." Blitzø said in shock.

"Well, it does make sense considering that he's a Goetia class demon and you're not." Moxxie said to his boss in annoyance.

"Hey! The last time I checked, you need to have your jaw surgically repaired when you got hit a shitton of times with the Devil Bringer." Blitzø retorted defensively.

"Do not-- Do not remind me of that, sir." Moxxie muttered bitterly.

After avoiding several sword strikes, Sean used his Snatch ability to grab the Yamato and preformed Rapid Slash, only for Stolas to block it just in time. But that's when Sean embedded the Yamato with his demonic energy as he unleashed a blade beam at Stolas but the owl daddy swat it upwards before he preformed a Stinger, only for Sean to parry it away and swung the Yamato horizontally which took Stolas' cloak off in the process. Not giving Stolas a chance to process what happened, Sean sent several strikes towards the neck and torso regions, only for Stolas to avoid and parry every strikes before pushing Sean back, until the hellhound cambion preformed a Perfect Judgement Cut, forcing Stolas to roll aside to avoid getting hit but wasn't unscathed as his shirt was torn. Then in an instant, Stolas grabbed his second spadroon and preformed several strikes towards the head and shoulder regions but Sean parried all of them with sheer ferocity. That's when Stolas moved back and unleashed a few blade beams until they were cut down by Sean as the hellhound cambion closed the distance and swung the Yamato down vertically towards the owl daddy's shoulder region, only for Stolas to block it with both blades crossed and managing to push back with enough force to break the two apart.

"Don't tell me that's all you've got!" Stolas said sternly, until he felt a cut on his chest.

"I told you that you're gonna get the scars! Or are you really expecting them?" Sean said while pointing the Yamato at Stolas as the radiating energy formed into the shape of the Dark Knight Sparda, much to everyone's shock

Then in an instant, Stolas preformed a Stinger, only for Sean to parry it and counterattack by preforming Rapid Slash to which Stolas blocked it with both of his spadroons. Then in an instant, Stolas swung his blades at the shoulder region but Sean parried them easily, until a few stray slashes tore through his shirt, forcing him to preform Table Hopper in order to avoid more of Stolas' attacks.

"That's something new." Stolas said with interested.

"An ability that learned myself when I was fighting The Order Of The Sword. Basically an answer to all of the aggressive legions of man-made demons that they have at their disposal." Sean explained while twirling the Yamato.

"Interesting...." Stolas said with an unsatisfied tone before he unleashed another barrage of blade beams towards Sean, only for the hellhound cambion to avoid them with Table Hopper and cut them down.

"Is that it?! You're supposed to be impressed, Goddamn it!!" Sean growled as he preformed Rapid Slash again, only for Stolas to parry it, sending the hellhound cambion skidding back.

The owl daddy then close the distance and swung his sword towards the neck and shoulder regions in blinding speeds with his left spadroon, only for Sean to dodge and parry the attacks which resulted in knocking the left spadroon out of Stolas' grasp. The hellhound cambion then followed up with another Perfect Judgement Cut which hit it's mark, shredding Stolas' shirt in the process. Then in an instant, Stolas preformed a Stinger/Million Stab combo which Sean parried all of the attacks, only to be caught off guard when in an instant, Stolas preformed a backflip with his spadroon in the grip of his right foot that cut Sean's shirt open, forcing the hellhound cambion to stumble back and looked at his now opened shirt and a cut on his chest that started to rapidly heal. His thoughts were interrupted when Stolas jumped towards him with a spadroon overhead, only for Sean to narrowly avoiding it and counterattack with fast and aggressive Djem-So and Juyo like attacks which Stolas blocked and counterattack with his Ataru onslaught. This of course was done so fast that both Sean and Stolas were nothing but a blur of motion.

"Are you sure that they're really training?!" Silverstream asked in worry.

"Uhh, yeah. What are you talking about?" Smolder asked back.

"Because it looks like they're tempting to kill each other." Sandbar answered for Silverstream to which the ponies and non-ponies couldn't help but agree.

"That's not it." Octavia said which got to ponies and non-ponies' attention.

"Forgive me, young princess. But what do you speak of?" General Seaspray asked Octavia who smirked.

"You folks really need to understand a little things or two about us demons. As you can see, demons have a high durability rate, depending on which demon you encounter. Even deep cuts from sword strikes are nothing more than scratches to them. However every demon does have a limit to how much their durability can take." Octavia answered.

"You mean this is somewhat normal?" Starlight asked.

"Yup. You need to be tough in a place like Hell." Octavia answered.

Ramping up the attack, Stolas swung his spadroon at the neck and shoulder regions in blinding speeds which forced Sean to narrowly avoid them before stonewalling the owl daddy's attacks, until the hellhound cambion teleported in the air and preformed Aerial Cleave, only for it to be avoided. Sean however wasn't done as he preformed a Rapid Slash/Rising Star combo which caught Stolas of guard as the owl daddy was launched into mid-air, until Sean followed up with an Aerial Rave B/three Perfect Judgement Cuts combo to which Stolas blocked and counterattack them until they landed back on the ground. But that's before Stolas activated his proto-devil trigger to which caused his feathers to darken and his eyes to glow. Basically it was Stolas' demon form but modified solely for combat which sent a chill down the ponies and non-ponies' spines, but Sean wasn't phased in the slightest.

"When was the last time you fought like this?! If you would've cut loose sooner, you and I would've been the first to butcher the fuck out of Stella before Vergil got to her!!" Sean growled as he got into his stance.

"Haven't I told you already? It was never simple as that!" Stolas answered bitterly before he swung both of his swords in a chopping fashion, only for Sean to quickly duck and swung the Yamato at Stolas' gut but the owl daddy narrowly avoided it.

"Do you really think that I gave a fuck about any of the laws the Goetias put in place?! Did you honestly thought I gave a fuck what Paimon would say when he finds out about your divorce?! NONE OF THAT FUCKING MATTERS!!!" Sean shouted before he rushed in with a side slash to which Stolas parried it just in time but Sean didn't miss a beat as he swung the Yamato 7 times at a fast pace, only for the attacks to be blocked to the point of getting into a blade lock. "You should've told the truth about why Octavia was born sooner and defy the reasons why Paimon wanted you to have a kid! You should've let her choose her own path sooner!!" Sean growled while he pushed Stolas back.

"I would've done it sooner if I didn't know she was gonna choose the path you've chosen!" Stolas argued back while he charged in for an uphand slash, only for Sean to parry it.

"Maybe you should've trained her like I did, instead of sheltering her all the time! I gave her what she needed!! I gave her what she deserves after the shit she has to deal with!! And unlike your horny ass, I FUCKING LISTENED TO HER!!!!!" Sean shouted angrily while he parried a dozen more fast pace slashes before counterattacking with a Void Slash/Judgement Cut combo which sent Stolas skidding back.

While the fight continued without any signs of slowing down, Octavia was now in a state of shock at how Sean was in an emotional turmoil. She knew why he pursued power, but she never thought it could be this serious. It almost scared both her and Loona as this determination for power was similar to Vergil which shook them to their core as they both knew that The Dark Slayer would not hesitate to take extreme measures to gain more power. Octavia couldn't help but tear up as she felt like she couldn't help ease the pain Sean was feeling after everything that happened at The Qliphoth Incident, and that pain manifested into rage. But what hit her is that Sean was right, he did a better job listening to her than Stolas did. Even Shadow could sense his new master/host's emotional rollercoaster as he rubbed his head under Octavia's chin and giving out a comforting growl that sounded like purring.

Even in his proto-devil trigger state, Stolas was having trouble keeping up with Sean's overaggressive onslaught of attacks as the owl daddy felt cuts and scratches all over his torso to which they healed instantly due to his proto-devil trigger. Sean didn't let up as he lets his rage get the better of him, unleashing an onslaught of fast pace attacks which ranged from a barrage of slashes to Perfect Judgement Cuts that forced Stolas to block and avoided them but the owl daddy still took a few hits as he couldn't keep up with Sean's fast pace assault, even in the proto-devil trigger state. This even scared Loona and Octavia as they both knew how dangerous Sean is when he's in a rage state, and they both know that Stolas is basically playing Russian roulette in this fight. Stolas continued to block and evade as much as he could but he started feeling fatigue from the injuries he was sustaining, until with one sword strike, Sean knocked the spadroons out of Stolas' grasps which brought the owl daddy to his knees and depleted his proto-devil trigger state, leaving himself open to which Sean brought down the Yamato, only to stop mid-swing so abruptly that it caused a massive shockwave so strong that it caused everyone in the seats to brace themselves. Once they all recovered, they were shocked as they saw the Yamato's blade edge was a mere inch close to Stolas' face. That's when Sean's demonic aura started to fade as the hellhound cambion calmed down.

"I'm not gonna let her suffer like this anymore." Sean spoke as he moved the Yamato away from Stolas' face.

"Have you forgotten it was never that simple to defy the Goetia Law back then?!" Stolas argued but Sean wasn't having it.

"She doesn't care about their pathetic laws, you can't just shelter her all the time and hope that nothing bad would happen to her! You're not the only one who cares about her and you're not the only one who doesn't want to see her in pain from the Goetias' actions! So you gotta let me make her stronger!" Sean retorted angrily.

"I... I don't want my owlet to get hurt." Stolas said with a low somber tone, only to receive a punch from Sean that knocked him to the ground.

"You've tried to protect Octavia at all costs, even if it meant driving me away from her! I tried to help her but you wouldn't let me at the time. Have you ever thought about how that makes her feel?!" Sean said angrily to which Stolas was taken aback.

Flashback, outside of Imp City, 8 years ago

"I was just like Octavia once. I thought that my mother didn't trust me. I thought she never loved me as much as she said. But the thing was that she wanted to be a good mother but she didn't know how to. Until now." Sean narrated as his younger 10-year-old self was sitting at the edge of the lake, feeling more than pissed off that his mother broke her promise to him. She promised that they were gonna spend their time hanging out with each other at Stylish Occult, but he was met with disappointment as his mother was forced to work overtime, all because Moxxie was ranting and complaining about it due to the company getting another strategy to bring in more business, and that his mother couldn't trust him to be outside of her apartment or the I.M.P. building. This pissed Sean off to the point that in a fit of rage, he ran off to a nearby park, but not before killing a bunch of troublemaking imps with nothing but a great sword on the way there. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard his mother calling out to him as he slightly looked over his shoulder and saw Loona running towards him with Blitzø, Millie, and Moxxie following far behind, but Sean went back to watching the river stream.

"Why did you run off like that?! Don't you know how dangerous it is out there?!" Loona said with both anger and concern.

"Why do you care all of a sudden?" Sean retorted with an aggravated tone which shocked the I.M.P. crew.

"What?" Loona said, taken aback.

"I thought you care more about sitting on that desk and playing on your phone. Was that promise you made yesterday a goddamn lie just to make me feel better? Just so you don't have to worry about me being out here?" Sean demanded angrily while avoiding eye contact which somehow hurt Loona emotionally.

"You know I'd rather take you to Stylish Occult than waste my time in that fucking office!" Loona argued back in an upset tone.

"AND WHAT THE FUCK IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING SO?!?!" Sean shouted angrily as he started to shake in rage and tears started to run down his cheeks.

"Do you really think that your bonding time is more important than work?! How is it that you think Loona could be a mother that you deserve?! If anything, I think that she should stop wasting her time on you and start spending more time on doing her job! Honestly I don't know why we decide to have a kid like you join this damn compa--!" Moxxie complained, until he was cut off.

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, YOU BABY DICK PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A DEMON!!!!!" Sean yelled in a fit of rage as he instantly stood up and turned around with an enraged look on his face which took the hellhound and the three imps off guard.

"What did you just called me?!" Moxxie demanded, feeling insulted by the pup's outburst.

"Is that all you're ever good for?! Being the possum looking piece of shit that does nothing but bitch and whine about everything that nobody gives a rat's dick about?! And yet you telling me that work is more important than bonding with a kid?! No wonder you never wanted a kid! A PATHETIC SACK OF SHIT LIKE YOU WOULD'VE BEEN A TERRIBLE FATHER!!!!" Sean shouted angrily at Moxxie to which Millie got defensive.

"NO HE WOULDN'T!!!! WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?!?!" Millie snapped to which Sean looked at her in slight disgust.

"Why the fuck are you defending him?! How is it that I can trust you and call you as my aunt when every fucking time your "husband" whines about some stupid shit and gets called out of his shit, you tried to defend him for his fuck-ups and behavior! That's not supporting your spouse! That's enabling their shit behavior! I had to walk on eggshells everytime when you showed me affection all because this baby dick loser is always jealous of me getting your affection!!" Sean argued back to which Millie was shocked and heartbroken. Wanting to be alone, Sean started walking away from the group.

"Sean, wait!" Loona called out, following her son.

"Don't bother!! You already made your intentions clear!" Sean said angrily while continuing to walk away, until he was stopped when Loona hugged him from behind which caught him by surprise.

"I get it! I fucked up our plans today! I shouldn't have sheltered you too much! I really wanted to take you to Stylish Occult but Blitzø forced me to go back to work all because Fatty demanded it! But you have to understand I'm trying hard to be the mother you deserve. I... *sobs* I know that feeling that you can't count on anyone. I use to think that way when I was younger, but I know that being alone is never as good as it seems. I know I fucked up, but... *sobs* but that doesn't mean I'll stop loving you, no matter what. I may not get it right, but I'm trying." Loona sobbed while she kept her son close to her which calmed him down and accepted the hug. Loona could not hold back any tears at this point as she even wrapped her tail around her son.

Flashback ends

"I understand how Octavia feels. Even if you had good intentions, breaking your kid's trust and sheltering them a lot will only end up destroy your relationship! Do you really want that?!" Sean said while Stolas tried to get up but he couldn't do to his injuries.

"*cough* *sigh* You're right, Sean. I...*cough* it was wrong for me to doubt Via." Stolas said as he wiped the blood off his beak. "The last thing I want is to lose my owlet." He added to which Sean stood up straight and twirled the Yamato for a bit.

"*sigh* Don't be so hard on yourself, Stolas. To be honest, Via's lucky to have someone like you as a father. You at least actually care about your kid, and not pretending to care like Paimon did with you and your siblings. And besides, if anyone's gonna kick your ass, its gonna be me." Sean stated to which Stolas chuckled a bit as he took off what appears to be a star pendent while Octavia jumped from the seats and approached both the hellhound cambion and the owl daddy.

"Via, what are you doing?" Stolas said with concern as he noticed that Octavia was checking for severe wounds.

"What do you mean what am I doing?! I'm trying to make sure that the wounds you took aren't fatal!" Octavia answered with a stern but concerned tone.

"They're not. I made sure of that." Sean said, gaining Octavia's attention.

"What...?" Octavia said while looking up towards the hellhound cambion.

"I wasn't planning on killing him. I only wanted to kick his ass in order to unlock the power he was referring." Sean stated while he wiped the blood off the Yamato with his torn shirt. "Besides, I needed to knock some sense into him." He added.

"He's right, my starfire. But are you sure you want to pursue this career? It does have a lot of risks after all." Stolas asked his daughter with concern.

"I already made my decision. I want to use my power to fight. Besides, I have familiars that have my back." Octavia answered while Shadow reappeared next to his master/host.

"Oh, I see." Stolas commented sheepishly.

"WAAAA!!!!!" Millie cried out in joy as she flew towards Sean and crashed into his chest, knocking the Yamato out of his hand and causing him to stumble.

"Are you nuts?! You could've impaled yourself with my sword from a stunt like that!" Sean said with annoyance while Millie still has an overjoyed expression.

"That's your Aunt Millie for you." Loona said with a smirk as she walked into the field.

"I knew you could do it, sweetie! I was on the edge of my seat when I saw that aura radiating from you! I couldn't be less than proud as an auntie!" Millie said joyfully while hugging her nephew by the neck and started kissing him all over the face to which he shut his eyes tightly.

"Easy on him, Mills. He's probably still sore from from that fight. Well not as sore as Stolas." Blitzø said as he, Nico, and Moxxie joined with the others on the field. Millie then let go of her nephew which caused her to land on her feet.

"*spits out blood* I guess I'm starting to feel my age." Stolas said with a bittersweet tone.

"I doubt it. You're not agely fatigue as you think you are. You just pushed your durability to it's limits." Loona same as she helped Stolas on his feet while Octavia ordered Shadow to grab the spadroons.

"Damn, Stolas. I knew you were a masochist, but that just takes it to a whole 'nother level." Blitzø nonchalantly said with a smirk, until Twilight teleported to the field with Starlight in tow.

"How are you two able to fight like that?!" Twilight said with shock and amazement.

"Fight like what?" Stolas asked innocently.

"You know! Fighting so fast that not even Rainbow Dash couldn't even keep track on you!" Twilight replied.

"HEY!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, feeling insulted while Starlight chuckled a bit.

"Its not uncommon for most demons to fight at the pace that you witnessed. Though I haven't been as fast as I use to." Stolas answered. That's when Loona thought of an idea.

"I got an idea on how we can fight both the suit-tards and the Goetias. But I'm gonna need an entire map so I could explain it properly." Loona said to which got everyone's attention.

"Hey, not a bad idea, Momma Wolf." Nico commented.

"Well I do have a map that shows every location in Equestria and the other countries. But it back at my place in Ponyville." Twilight said which hearing the town's name made Octavia pinched her beak in annoyance.

"Ugh! Couldn't they just find a better name for that town?" Octavia grumbled in annoyance.

"But how are we gonna get there? We need to take a train in order to get there and we can only take so much with us with our teleportation spells." Starlight said, until Sean picked the Yamato up and sliced the air horizontally and vertically, creating a portal to the mentioned town in the process, much to the shock of everyone except the DMC and I.M.P. crew.

"You were saying?" Sean said as he re-sheathed the Yamato.

"How are you--?" Starlight asked but was interrupted.

"Are you two gonna keep on asking questions or are you gonna go through that portal?" Loona said with a raised eyebrow. Despite hesitating, Starlight went through the portal while the rest of the ponies and non-ponies except Twilight started following through.

"Not bad, Silver-Wolf. I wouldn't be surprised that even the strongest dragons would think twice before picking a fight with you." Ember commented to Sean with a smirk before following the rest of the students and ambassadors through the portal.

"That was sum fancy sword play ya shown there, sugarcube. Ah bet not even Rainbow here would be able ta keep up with ya." Applejack complimented, much to Rainbow Dash's dismay while the rest of the main 6 went through the portal. Sean noticed that Cadence didn't follow the others.

"You coming?" Sean asked the Princess Of Love.

"Oh, I can't. I need to stay here in order to make sure the Crystal Empire is safe." Cadence answered.

"I'll send you a letter discussing the plans. Please be careful if anything happens." Twilight said before hugging the pony she considers her big sister.

"I will. Don't worry about me." Cadence replied before the two let each other go and Twilight went through the portal.

"Now that was too wholesome for my liking." Blitzø nonchalantly said as he and Moxxie went through the portal.

"I hate you, Dad." Loona said with an unamused expression as she and the rest of the others except Cadence went through the portal before it closed.

Inside The Castle Of Friendship, guest room

While lying on the bed, Stolas had Fluttershy tend to his wounds as she applied some medicine ointment Stolas himself made. Sean on the other hand sat on the recliner and reading, letting his natural healing take care of the "minor" wounds he sustained. Fluttershy tried to focus but she was too flustered at Sean's physical built.

"That'll be enough, dear." Stolas spoke to Fluttershy.

"O-Okay. I hope I didn't miss anything, Your Highness." Fluttershy said in her usual shy tone as Stolas got off the bed to stretch.

"Not at all. I must say, where did you learn your medical skills?" Stolas asked.

"I took medical classes as one of my studies to get my veterinary license so I can legally take care of any animal in need." Fluttershy answered while Stolas brushed his feathers. "Forgive me if it sound offensive to you." She said meekly.

"No, no, no. I understand clearly. I personally couldn't ignore how talented you are." Stolas said which made the buttermilk pegasus blush.

"You're gonna make her nervous." Sean said as he closed his book and set it down on the lamp table before standing back up.

"I wasn't intending to. Barring a crown is a blessing and a curse." Stolas simply said as he put on a new shirt. "Ah, that's better. If you need me, I'll be checking on Octavia." He added before going through the doorway.

"You do that." Sean said before he took off his shirt, causing Fluttershy to blush at the sight of the hellhound cambion's ripped chest and abs.

"So, umm... how long have you been killing?" Fluttershy asked nervously.

"Over ten years." Sean said nonchalantly.

"But why? Is there a reason why you enjoy killing whatever creature's out there?" Fluttershy asked, feeling a little disturbed.

"Its not about wether I enjoy it or not. I do it because there's no reason to show mercy towards the feral demons you saw out there. Its either them or us, and they don't hesitate." Sean said seriously.

"I... I never thought of that." Fluttershy said with uneasiness in her voice.

"No living person thinks about it until its too late." Sean replied before he starts doing some maintenance on The Jukebox Of Damnation.

"...Back at the stadium. Why were you angry at Prince Stolas?" Fluttershy asked.

"I wasn't really too pissed at him. I was disappointed about how he sheltered Octavia and not trained her sooner. Its true that Via has a lot of power, but just having power isn't good enough. Its the knowledge and discipline on how to use it that counts. Stolas showed me on how I could use knowledge as strength." Sean answered while he tuned up the gear system on his war sword, until he felt Fluttershy's hand gently brushing his cheek tuft.

"You see him as a father figure, don't you?" Fluttershy said in a soothing tone.

"Stolas is the closest thing I have to a father. I'd rather have that than a deadbeat dad." Sean replied quietly.

With Loona

After letting both Sean and Stolas recover in one of the guest rooms, everyone gathered around The Cutie Map with each member of the Main 6 except for Fluttershy sitting on their own respective thrones while the DMC and I.M.P. crew were standing by the map. The rest of the ponies and non-ponies have been wondering about the gravity of the crisis. Nico on the other hand wasn't present as she had to continue working on another project.

"So how are gonna handle all of this? I mean this is something that nopony has ever faced in Equestrian history." Twilight asked everyone to which Loona started speaking.

"We already know the locations of the D.H.O.R.K.S. bases, so it wouldn't be hard to find them. But the real issue is the Goetias. We don't know where their base of operations are at. They could be in any remote area. And knowing Andrealphus, he's smart enough to not reveal his intentions prematurely. But whatever he's planning, its not good for any of you since the Goetias are known for their oppressive rule against those they consider lesser than them. In order to fight both of these factions, we need to split into two groups." Loona said in a serious tone.

"And how 'n tha hay are we gonna do that? Its not like we can just split 'nto a group of three ponies 'n order t' fight two factions." Applejack said in confusion.

"Its simple. You're not gonna fight. We are." Loona replied while gesturing herself, Octavia, and the three imps.

"What?!" Twilight's friends said in unison, taken aback.

"She's right, girls. We're not cut out for this war." Twilight said to her friends.

"Exactly. You're on protection and rescue duty. Your job is to make sure that every civilian's safe. Any questions." Loona said sternly.

"Why are we on babysitting duty while you freaks get to have all of the fun?!" Rainbow Dash demanded aggressively to which the sentient demons weren't phased in the slightest by the arrogant pegasus' outburst.

"Because we're more capable of fighting against dangerous individuals than you are." Octavia answered the arrogant pegasus. "Now do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up." She said angrily.

"Hmph! You kiss your mother with that mouth of yours? Honestly, how do you act like a proper princess with foul language like that?" Rarity said in a snobby tone in which the tension got thick.

"My "mother" was the definition of evil incarnate! A heartless blood thirsty monster who's beyond redemption! I would rather stab her in the neck than kiss her!" Octavia said with rage in her voice.

"No wonder why you have an attitude not proper for a princess. If you're not gonna act like a princess, then you're not worthy of the title at all. You should've been an omelet instead of being born!" Rarity seethed which caused the rest of the ponies and the young 6 gasp in shock and to say that Octavia was pissed beyond belief was an understatement, until the young adult owl sensed the enraged energy nearby that felt familiar to her, causing Octavia to smirk. "And what are you smiling about?!" Rarity demanded.

"You just opened up Pandora's box, you fashion-obsessed cunt." Octavia answered smugly. But before Rarity could respond, a giant owl demon made of demonic energy burst into the map room and before anyone could react, the demon swooped in to grab Rarity in his talons and vanished into thin air.

"Wha-- wha-- WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?!" Apple Bloom shouted in fear as everyone except the DMC and I.M.P. crew were scared shitless.

"Language, Apple Bloom!" Applejack scolded.

"My dad. That's what happened." Octavia said calmly as she simply gave Shadow head pats.

"What happened to Rarity?! Did Lord Stolas dragged her to Hell or something?!" Twilight asked in fear.

"Well yes and no. The owl daddy basically dragged that bitch into his own little pocket dimension. So she's getting a soul-based beat down as we speak." Griffon answered nonchalantly.

"That or he's diddling her holes in the worst ways possible." Blitzø said nonchalantly which caused the ponies and non-ponies to look at him weirdly.

"Now back to the business at hand. We'll be splitting into two teams. The first team will compromise of myself, Blitzø, Millie, and Moxxie. Our mission is to infiltrate the D.H.O.R.K.S. bases and destroy them from the inside out." Loona said which got Millie and Blitzø excited.

"Yee-fucking-haw!! I can't wait to get my blades all bloody!" Millie cheered.

"Getting the family back together again. I love it." Blitzø commented with a smirk. Moxxie was about to rant that I.M.P. wasn't a family, but a scowl from Blitzø shut him up.

"I'm not finished yet. Since I'd hired Spike in my crew, he's coming with us." Loona stated.

"Are you sure I'm ready, ma'am? I mean I didn't kill anything back at Tartarus." Spike asked, not feeling confident.

"Spike. You were able to kill a horde of those shapeshifting bugs with an RPG. Your new boss is right, you have a lot more potential than just being an errand boy." Octavia replied for Loona.

"*sigh* Okay. But I'm probably gonna need more than just two rifles." Spike said, accepting the invitation.

"We already got that covered, kid." Blitzø said with a smirk.

"The second team will be compromised of Sean and Octavia. Their mission is to not only search for whatever strongholds the Goetias have set up, but to destroy them in order to weaken their forces. According to the info I've heard from the familiars, the Goetias have also been creating Hell Gates in remote areas in order to siphon more power for their legions and/or releasing more feral demons to cause more chaos and keep the local forces busy." Loona continued before letting out a sigh. "Via. I know I'm gonna send you to the meat grinder on this one." She said to Octavia.

"It doesn't matter. Its too personal for me to ignore so this involves me either way." Octavia replied with a serious tone in her voice.

"Forgive me if we're not following, but you're saying you guys are dividing into two teams. What can we do to help?" Thorax asked with the rest of the ambassadors agreeing.

"Your jobs of course are to keep your respective countries safe. I already took care of the Hell Gate at the Dragon Lands but I'm not done yet with destroying the D.H.O.R.K.S. bases in your respective countries, so you need to stay careful." Loona answered with a serious tone that got the point straight. That's until a still pissed off Stolas reappeared in the map room in his normal form while holding a traumatized Rarity by the neck before putting her down.

"You okay, Dad?" Octavia said to which Stolas calmed down.

"I am now, sweetie." Stolas answered with a heartfelt smile.

"Uhh, Lord Stolas? Pardon me for interrupting, but what happened to Rarity?" Twilight asked to which Stolas took a brief glare at Rarity before turning his attention to the lavender alicorn.

"I simply used her own sins against her and severely scarred her soul. Its disgusting to see someone with such generosity stoop so low just to appese the upper class. But of course her sins caught up to her." Stolas answered as Starlight approached Rarity who was still laying on the floor.

"Rarity? Are you okay?" Starlight asked with concern to which Rarity snapped out of her daze and stood up with a smile.

"Why yes, darling! I'm fine! I must say you girls are indeed looking fashionable!" Rarity answered in a cheerful mood which caught everyone except Stolas off guard.

"I thought this was a meeting. Not a fashion show." Pinkie said confusedly.

"Dad? What--?" Octavia asked but was interrupted when Rarity started examining her and Loona's outfits.

"Where did you get the fabric for these coats? They're simply divine! I must say you have a great taste in fashion! You have to let me make some garments that could match your coats! Free of charge! Consider it as an apology for my dreadful sins!" Rarity said in awe at both Loona and Octavia's coats.

"Stolas? What did you really do?" Loona asked with a little uneasiness in her voice.

"I basically gave her a kick in the ass to the point I reverted her original personality. Like I said, her sins caught up to her." Stolas answered before Octavia spoke her mind.

"There's another thing I want to point out. All of your kingdoms need to arm yourselves with the appropriate weapons. More specifically, firearms and heavy artillery." Octavia said which got all of the ponies and non-ponies to agree about the idea. All except one.

"Absolutely not! I forbid all firearms to be used in Equestria and the other kingdo--AAHH!!!" Celestia called out but was interrupted when the Black Shuck bit her on the left shoulder.

"Do you really think I'm not being serious about my warning?! First of all, you are not in the position of telling what everyone in this room can and can't do! And second of all, you are not in control of this meeting, so shut your fucking mouth!" Loona said angrily.

"I think she gets the point, honey." Blitzø said to Loona who calmed down and silently commanded the Black Shuck to let Celestia go.

"Anyone else?" Loona said to the ponies and non-ponies whom they didn't say anything to tick her off. "Good." She responded.

"Princess Octavia's right, we've seen how effective an army is with firearms. that's one of the reasons why Chrysalis took over Canterlot again. We need the right equipment to gain the advantage against what we're facing now." Twilight said, agreeing to what Octavia suggested.

"But how are we gonna supply the rest of the kingdoms' army with firearms?" Sandbar asked.

"Well some of our home countries are experienced with guns since we really didn't follow that dumb rule Princess Sunshine put out." Smolder added in, much to Celestia's annoyance.

"Well I'm glad you kids asked." Blitzø replied with a smirk. "Moxxie, why don't you show them what you got under that coat of yours?" He said to Moxxie.

"Gladly, sir." Moxxie responded to his boss before he started pulling out guns from his coat.

(All the guns that Moxxie just pulled out.)

"Wow....!" All of the kids said in awe.

"I have really deep pockets." Moxxie said smugly.

"You guys really take your job seriously." Gallus said, looking at the table of guns.

"They call themselves the Immediate Murder Professionals for a reason." Loona said with a smirk.

"Cool! Where do ah sign up?" Apple Bloom asked which caught the rest of the main 6 and the princesses off guard.

"Apple Bloom! Are ya crazy?! Yer too young fer that!" Applejack scolded, much to Apple Bloom's disappoinment. Loona however wasn't having it.

"Its better to train her on how to fight rather than hiding her under the fucking table. If she wants to join, then she can." Loona said with a serious tone.

"But she's 11!!" Applejack argued.

"So?! My son started training when he was eight! You have no excuse to keep your sister defenseless!" Loona argued back, until they heard the sound of a gun being cocked and saw Apple Bloom who pulled the bolt of the auto-shotgun.

"Umm... I think you need something with less recoil before you use a shotgun." Moxxie said while he took the shotgun from Apple Bloom.

"Exactly. That's why you're in charge of her firearms training." Loona said, much to Moxxie's surprise.

"Wait, WHAT!!!" Moxxie said in shock.

"Come on, Moxx. Grow a pair and train the kid in your fancy gunplay. I mean if you and Mills have a kid, how do you expect to be a good father if you don't train your own kid?" Blitzø said to which Moxxie was about to argue but didn't.

"Touche', sir." Moxxie replied.

"*clears throat* Ah'll join on one condition: Ah get a hat and outfit that looks like mah sister's." Apple Bloom said. That's until Stolas snapped his fingers which resulted in Apple Bloom's outfit changing into a black stenson hat, a checkered black bandana around her neck, a checkered grey flannel shirt, dark grey denim jeans, and black western style boots. "Wow! Thanks a bunch!" She said with excitement.

"All we need is to get you a set of revolvers and you're set." Blitzø commented.

"Ah'm still not comfortable about this." Applejack said, still feeling worried.

"She'll be under my supervision." Loona stated before looking at the ponies and non-ponies in the room. "You all know the drill: Head back to your respective countries and get your military prepared for the upcoming war. And make sure your soldiers never hesitate on killing any feral demons they encounter, otherwise they're dead in a matter of seconds. This meeting's adjourned." She concluded in a serious tone, letting the ambassadors and the students to leave to their respective kingdoms while Celestia left the room, now fully understanding what's happening.

"Its a lot to take in." Starlight said, looking down at the map.

"You know we're serious about all of you not joining in the fight with us." Octavia said with a serious tone.

"Yeah, well how come Spike and Apple Bloom can join and not us?!" Rainbow Dash demanded aggressively.

"Because all of you have a bad habit of not listening, shithead!" Griffon answered angrily.

"Why I otta--!!" Rainbow Dash said angrily as she was about to jump out of her seat to attack the avian familiar but she started asphyxiating as Octavia used her telekinesis to grab the arrogant pegasus by the neck.

"Sit. The. Fuck. Down!" Octavia snarled as she slammed Rainbow Dash back on her seat, letting go of the arrogant pegasus's throat.

"*sigh* Can we please understand what in tarnation are we dealing with? Ah mean what kind of demon is starting a war with us?" Applejack asked, only for Octavia to pull out an emblem and placed it on the map as it activated by showing a magical hologram of Andrealphus.

"This is Andrealphus. Marquis ruler of the Treachery Sphere and one of the main members of the Ars Goetia class. Now unlike those shapeshifting cockroaches that you were having trouble with, this devil peacock rarely fucks around. He won't hesitate to kill you by freezing even your very soul in a second. The reason why he's here is because he's planning on restoring the Goetias and setting up the new kingdom in this world, alongside his sister; my so-called mother." Octavia informed seriously.

"So we're basically dealing with demons?" Starlight asked.

"Actual demons. Not the demon-wannabes like Sombra. We're talking about the real deal demons." Loona answered.

"Its true. I've been witnessing the horde of demon roaming deep in the Everfree." Zecora replied.

"All mother help us..." Starlight muttered in horror.

"If those demons are really rebuilding their kingdom in the heart of Equestria, why are you two fighting against them? Aren't you part of the Goetia class?" Selene asked the two owl demons.

"Because we've been under the social fire with the Goetias ever since they screwed my dad over. Its personal to me as it is to him." Octavia answered.

"Plus I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of. So I'm atoning for my past actions." Stolas added in.

"Look, both Stolas and Via have seen how much of a shitshow the Goetias are as a social class. Its not even a surprise that they both defected from them." Loona said with seriousness in her voice. Then Octavia started to leave the map room.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked the young adult owl.

"I'm gonna get Sean and we're gonna leave to find out where the Goetias' secret base is." Octavia answered before Applejack stood up to give her something.

"Take this, sugarcube. Its a map that'll show ya where ya are in Equestria." Applejack said, handing Octavia an artifact which is a map of Equestria.

"Thanks." Octavia replied before she opened the door and left with her familiars in tow.

"Is it really a good idea that we should let them run around unsupervised?" Rainbow Dash said to which caused everyone in the room to look at her with the "are you serious" expressions.

"Perhaps you're the one who needs supervision." Stolas said slyly to which Rainbow Dash responded by punching the owl daddy in the abs, only for a crack to be heard as Rainbow Dash broke a finger from punching Stolas.

"AAAHHH!! FUCK!! FUCK!!" Rainbow Dash cried out in pain as she clutched her hand before Blitzø, Millie, and Moxxie burst out laughing while Loona and Stolas had smirks on their faces. "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed at the imps in anger.

Unknown location, training room.

Hundreds of training dummies laid across the floor as with determination, Stella, now wearing a workout outfit that compromise of a royal purple sports bra and sweat shorts sliced through several of the dummies with an elegant polearm resembling a spear with the blade of a curved sword that was made of the finest materials. Stella spun her elegant weapon of choice in her hand before horizontally swinging it seven times in a matter that resembles dancing. After cutting down the rest of the remaining dummies, Stella took a deep breath as she looked at her handiwork, feeling satisfied that she didn't lose her skill with the blade. She now thought about how easy it could be to take over this world just by walking in. She knew that the ponies don't stand a chance against her as even their so-called goddess ruler didn't stand a chance against Andrealphus. Just thinking about it made her sense of sadism shine through, its no secret that she took pleasure in the suffering of others. That's when Andrealphus entered inside of the training room with a photograph in hand.

"I'm already finishing up." Stella said, believing that her brother came in to watch her performance.

"I see. But I'm sure you want to take a look at this. Its seems that a little friend of yours just happened to end up here." Andrealphus said as he gave Stella the photograph. Stella looked at the photograph and saw that it showed a small amount of an old west town, but what caught her eye is a familiar looking imp dressed up as a cowboy walking in the middle of the road.

"Hmmm... My favorite gun for hire. I'm surprised that he found a way to this world." Stella said, admired at what she saw.

"One of my informants spotted him in an old town in the middle of the desert. Knowing you, I bet you want to hire him for our cause." Andrealphus said before giving her a phone.

"But of course. It'll be a waste not to give him the invitation." Stella replied as she took the phone.

"I'll leave it to you then." Andrealphus said with a smirk as he left the training room while Stella dialed a number on the phone making a call.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait. My life has been busy as usual.

I've recently moved into a new place, a hostile roommate got in trouble with the law, and I had to file a restraining order against said roommate. So its been a lot.

Plus I've also been drawing in order to relieve my stress, as well as the emotional pain I've been dealing with having to surrender my dog in order to have a better life since I couldn't provide a lot for my dog in my current condition.
