Unchained

The idea

•Third person P.O.V•

They walked into the throne room Celestia dressed in a pristine white dress that hugged her frame well, but leaving a bit to the imagination.
Steel on the other hand still didn't have a shirt on just his boots, and pants he kept walking until one of the nobles stepped in his path.
"Princess what is this freak doing here, and with you Princess nonetheless"?

Celestia turned, and looked at the stallion.
"Oh Ms. Filthy Rich that freak as refer to him is mine, and my sister's personal guard, and an old friend".

The mare looked at Princess Celestia in shock.
"Personal guard old friend, this thing looks like it belongs in tartarus rather than in your palace".

The 'Freak' in question just chuckled at the two mares Filthy Rich however was not amused.
"What's so funny freak I wouldn't laugh, especially with a face like yours".

He stopped laughing, and looked her in the eye.
"I'm laughing because the last person who called me a freak, well let's just say insulting me, and threatening to hurt my loved ones wasn't a good way to get 'a head' in life".

He winked, and continued to make his way to the throne with Celestia in tow he did like he did with Luna, and sat down.
He patted his lap, and adjusted himself. Celestia was a bit hesitant, but on the upside it was better than the throne it was so bad on her back.
The nobles started chittering, and chattering until their attention was grabbed by the loud booms from the one acting as Princess Celestia's cushion.

He held Gungnir straight, and tall as the nobles looked at them.
"Let's start this day court mess, so we can all go to lunch".

They all didn't like what he was doing, or saying, but knew it was true, and so the day court started the nobles spoke of their little problems, and the such some of them had stupid requests even he needed to speak up on.
"Ok let me stop you right there, you want th' princess' here to give permission for you to tear down an orphanage so you can do what"?

The noble looked at him incredulously.
"It is none of your business, but if you must know it is making the area where my shop is look poor, and it's costing me money".

He shook his head, and looked at one of the guards.
"Hey you son what's your name".

The guard raised his hand, and pointed to himself.
"I'm silver sword sir".

"Silver Sword, I want you to do me a favor. I need you to go find me a map of Canterlot's open real estate spaces, and bring it here as quickly as possible".
He looked to the noble that stood before him, and Celestia after the guard took off.
"Now you I'm going to show you something here when he comes back because I'm done with your shit, but until he comes back please stand off to the side over there".

He pointed to a couch that was nearby that he very quickly recognized.
"Aw Cely you, and Lulu kept it after all this time"?

She smiled back up at him, and nodded.
"Yes we did with a few other things as well like this".

She used her magic, and a gold ring appeared in front of him with the words "Together Forever" still etched in the metal.
He looked back up to her, and gave her a hug as his leg bounced a bit in excitement.
The nobles started whispering again as the events started unfolding before them, and starting to notice the relationship is more than just guard, and employer.
The guard walked in just before any of the nobles could say anything.

"Sir I have those real estate maps you wanted".
Silver sword walked over, and placed them in his bone hand.

"That you Silver you can return to your post now if th' nobility' will follow me to th' center of th' floor I want to show you something".
Celestia got up, and stood aside for him after he got up he handed her Gungnir, and continued to the center of the throne room, then sat down, and spread out the maps of open places.
"If y'all will circle 'round me you will all see that these areas here, here, an' here are open, an' in good places to construct businesses, but given if you already have a large business that is doing well just down a small bit that shouldn't hurt any these spaces should be given to smaller places that would enable the small businesses to thrive as well.
But the type of business, and it's surroundings are important, like let's say I wanted to run a sandwich shop here near the shopping district, then that would be the most optimal idea because all businesses will thrive because my sandwich shop can buy products from th' smaller stalls.
I can buy vegetables, an' th' such for my product, an' I can endorse the other businesses that I buy from in turn making that place grow. My shop can give a place to sit, and relax, maybe even get a quick bite to eat, while they shop for food for home.
See what I mean"?

The surrounding nobles looked at each other putting together what they had just been told some of them were already putting ideas together for future business works.
The noble who however started this conversation wasn't too happy with his words.

"And what would you know about running a business freak"?
They stood with crossed arms waiting for his answer.

He shook his head, and looked at them with a now irritated look.
"First it's not freak I have a name, and I'd rather you call me Jimmy. Secondly, I ran four different businesses when I was alive, one near a fishing port where I ran a sushi shop.
A barbecue shop that I had near a small market that would sell processed meats like steaks, ribs, briskets, and many more cuts of meat.
The other two were a sandwich shop, and a deli.
The sandwich place sold sandwiches, and the deli sold meats, and cheeses that are sliced, and used in sandwiches such as ham, Turkey, salami, etc"...

The noble wanted to say something, but instead shut up.
He continued to explain how this worked on businesses helping other businesses would help not just them make money,but everyone else when he finished the day court continued on with princess Celestia back on his lap, and tu he nobles talking about their petty problems.

After all was said, and done around noon he looked at the time, and called a lunch break, and for everyone to come back in two hours.
Everyone did as told given Celestia's approval of the idea the guards, and nobility left with only Celestia, and him in the room.

He put Gungnir away, and started to trail a hand up her body.
"Hey Cely I have an idea, since we are alone for the next couple hours let's have some fun.

He began running his hands up her sides teasing her skin light tingles running through her body.
He ran his hand slowly down her body getting to the bottom of her dress, and started to pull it up.
His bones ran across her fur letting a jolt of electricity shoot up her spine just thinking of the things he would do to her, but the sounds of multiple hoof steps, and the realization they were still in the throne room made her want to stop him, but he was too far there she could feel him start running his hands up, and down her inner thighs making her want to let him continue.
This time the throne room door opened, and she was almost worried to see her student, and friends walk in to see their princess about to be rutted like a common tart, but instead they looked confused she looked down, and saw her dress was back to normal, and his arm around her waist, and his spear in another hand.

His voice, still as authoritative as she remembered, spoke out.
"How can we help you ladies, and gentleman"?

Twilight spoke out first with a bit of enthusiasm in her voice.
"Princess Celestia I wanted to ask if your husband would like to come with us to Ponyville given what you said he has been gone for over a thousand years, so he mustn't have much knowledge on the way things are now, so I wish to ask if you would allow us to show him our society, and why are you sitting on his lap"?

Celestia thought the idea over for a bit, but the comment about where she was sitting almost broke her mask, but a slight blush tried to show.
"The decision is not up to me my dear student that would be up to him given he is the one in need of the teaching".

He sat looking at the six girls, and the dragon.
"Fine, if I wasn't in need of knowing what your society is like then I wouldn't be doing this, but I have one question, where will I be staying, an' by everyone's reaction y'all don't trust me"?

Twilight stepped forward looking at him with a collected expression.
"Actually if you would like you can stay with me at my castle, and if you want you can help around the town to help build trust among the locals to show you don't plan to hurt anyone".

Applejack walked up next to her friend, and voiced her mind.
"If'n ya want y'all can come by to mah family's farm, an' help 'round we sure could use th' help".

The others stepped up voicing their thoughts on the subject talking about other citizens of Ponyville that might like someone who can help, but he looked at Pinkie in curiosity when she mentioned a Bakery to very few alive now knowledge he was quite the baker in his free time on earth.
But he decided to save that for a later date to bring up.

"Your words aren't needed I already said fine, but Celestia you, and Luna's fine asses better be ready for me to visit when I can 'cause when i get here I'll have a little presentfor y'all both".
He looked at Celestia with a smirk, and Celestia with a slight blush on her's at his words Faust knows what he would do after a one thousand year dry spell.
He got up, and set Celestia on the throne, and left with the six ponies, and the baby dragon with a wave, and a kiss to the cheek.
He walked with the girls, and dragon to the place he would temporarily call home the idea though a library seems nice he could get his read on maybe educate himself on some of the past events while he was gone.
They walked through the streets of Canterlot the ponies looked, and stared at the tall stallion among the mane six he towered over them like a giant his posture was stiff, and well calculated while straight, and strong.

They arrived at the train station without any problems as they sat twilight chose to ask him some questions.
"So Jimmy was it um may I ask you some questions about a few of the things you spoke about"?

He looked at her, and sighed.
"Yeah go ahead, ask away"?

Before she could ask her questions Pinkie appeared in front of him.
"Hi I'm Pinkie pie I'm going to make you a super awesome party, but what kind of cake do you like, do you like cupcakes, ooh ooh do you like".

Before she could continue she was silenced, and pulled away by Twilight's magic.
"Pinkie you can't just do that do anypony especially one that's been in stone for over a thousand years".

He reclined against the seat he was on, and began to close his eyes.
"Hello Pinkie my name is James Smith, but you can call me Jimmy my friends called me Steel.
And I like cake. In fact, I like cheesecake. Cherry cheesecake is one of my favorites, and I do like cupcakes, and chocolate is my favorite, but please no surprise parties please".

Everypony looked at him a bit surprised as he calmly answered Pinkie back Twilight regained her composure, and continued.
"Sorry about that uh, so I remember you mentioned to my brother that you were something called a marine what is that"?

He remained reclined as he spoke.
"The Marines, or at the time the Marine Corps was the most elite of branches of the United States military, the main branches are the Marines Core, Navy, Army, and Air Core.
The navy consisted of our warships equipped with cannons, and anti-aircraft weapons the cannons can be used to provide artillery support where we couldn't get artillery cannons to.
There are many different classes of warships Battleships that punch harder than my pissed off granny, aircraft carriers that held a small but of our aircraft that allowed us to launch our planes closer to the enemy, and have less worry about fuel, or planes getting shot down.
Destroyers hit just as hard as their armor is tough.
The Army is like the Marines, but not as good as us, now us marines we are the big dogs of the branches we are trained for the most treacherous environments, and to eat iron, and shit steel.
We have one job when deployed shoot anything that don't speak English, and that is shooting at you.
There was a old saying back in boot camp the commanding officers would tell us.
You are Marines, and Marines aren't allowed to die without permission".

Twilight wrote down his every word as he spoke.
"Why were you all trained to kill".

He looked at the ceiling as he answered.
"Because of a war, and in order to win a war we did what we had to. It's not all cupcakes, and rainbows sometimes you have to get your hands dirty".

Twilight decided to save the war discussion for some other time.
"Ok then so you mentioned your weapons have names why do they have them, and that you talked about somepony as well".

He chuckled a bit at this one.
"Ah yes the first is Gungnir the spear of the all-father Odin, or pronounced properly Óđinn he had many children his most legendary being Thor the god of thunder, user if Mjolnir in some legends as I've mentioned before Mjolnir was so heavy only the God of thunder could lift it, in others only those whom are worthy can lift it besides Thor.
Loki, god of mischief actually Discord reminds me of Loki a bit, he was known for his mischievous jokes, and his hate for his brother Thor given Loki is Thor's adopted brother because Loki was actually a frost giant the only thing was he had his mother Freya's ability to shapeshift, and create illusions.
And Heimdall, or Hāmdæl his godly ability was his vision, and hearing he watched over Asgard for any intruders, and for the coming of Ragnarok the end of days from his dwelling in Himinbjörg where the burning bridge Bifröst met the sky.
My sword is Týrfing the weapon of Týr the single handed oldest son of Odin.
My axe is a functioning replica of Jarnbjorn the weapon of Thor before he was given Mjolnir his hammer.
So my weapons are made to look like the weapons of Norse gods from my world, and to carry their weapons names, and I'm part Norse so given my heritage it is a honor to do this.

He pulled up his phone, and hit play on the randomize button, and laid back for a nap as the song began.

The heavy bass strummed after a few seconds it was joined by a slow tempo drum, and it tied together with loud strong voice singing the words in a high tone.
"The bodies in disarray
The dirt turned to mud
With sweat, and blood
Our judgments call
It comes for all".

The tune played, and he napped the girls started talking while he was presumably asleep, and Spike was off getting some food. They looked to make sure spike was gone when they started talking over the real situation at hand.

Twilight was the first to speak up as Rarity confirmed spike was gone.
"Ok girls since we are going to be teaching him about how our society works now we need to keep him being a demon a secret".

Applejack raised a hand, and looked to her purple friend.
"Well Twi as much sense as that makes I think we have something more important to deal with".

Twilight tilted her head to a side in confusion as she looked at twilight.
"What do you mean Applejack besides keeping his marriage to the princess a secret too would be smart".

Rarity looked back at the presumed sleeping demon's face.
"Well darling his appearance isn't how would you say the most pony like, if you get what I mean".

Twilight looked over, and realized what she meant, and almost started to panic.
"Sweet Celestia I almost forgot about that what are we going to do about that ponies would figure out what he is the moment they see him".

As the three talked Rainbow Dash was off in the bathroom doing her own thing while Fluttershy sat in the back quietly listening to the others babble on as Pinkie sat across from her playing cards with Gummy who everyone could have swore she left at home. When no one was paying attention the demon in question had opened his eye, and looked over at the five before shaking his head he spoke a incantation in a low, quiet voice his body began to change the muscles, and the fibers of his body grew filling the missing gaps of his long gone flesh the once bones became fleshy, and scarred. His skull, and open eye socket were filled with skin, and blood his second red eye filled the void it was meant to. Spike walked in, and saw what he was doing the dark red runes floating above the bone hand that was quickly covered in flesh.
He dropped the tray he was holding, and pointed at the now human looking being laying on the couch on front of him. Twilight, and the others looked up at Spike when they heard the sound of the tray hitting the floor. They all looked to where he was pointing, and saw the shirtless male eyeing the scarred arm with a few small twists. They all watched in amazement at the sight, then they all changed their attention to the sound of wings popping open to see a clearly aroused Rainbow dash looking down at the strong muscular body that was laying there.
"That is so hot".

He looked up at her, and chuckled before tucking both hands behind his head continuing to relax.
Twilight was the first to snap out of it she quickly crawled over to him grabbing one of his arms inspecting it closely. The other looked at him in shock at how he looked relatively normal, and almost like he was alive still Rainbow dash eventually got her wings to tuck back in as Twilight barraged him with questions.

"How is this possible, how did you do that, what else can you"?...
She was stopped midsentence by the arm she rudely took retracting to it's owner.

"You're not the only one that can do magic it's a disguise I have as a former warrior, and collector for the king of hell itself I have the ability to change how I look as to not get caught by mortals the only reason you were allowed to be graced by my actual form is because I didn't feel like doing it at the time, also Ms. Applejack you have very strong looking legs I assume you specialize in kicking"?

Applejack shook her head, but answered.
"Y'all can say that, but how did you know"?

He looked at her, and grinned his sharp teeth showing sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
"It's what I did for a living in fact here give me some time I can teach you some moves I know".

She looked at him surprised, and stood up getting into a good stance.
"I can kick pretty well already see"?

She reared leg back for a kick, and before the others could stop her, the leg she swung had already started it's journey straight into the face of the man in front of her.
