Hear the voices of Samuel/HTVO: Arc 1: Samuel

Nero vs. Redpen

Nero and Redpen have been fighting for a couple hours now and Repen looks worse for wear; his mastery over his Sancti-Pyromancy is just barely overpowering Nero’s now Ice-imbued Infernomancy as he looked slightly beaten up.

“Take this!” Nero yells, firing a volley of Icy-blue fire all over the place causing even more destruction to the already burning city as Redpen engulfs himself in Holy Fire and flies towards him at an insane speed.

He gets to him and attempts to buck Nero but he protects himself with his wings, “Oooo, scary.” Nero said condescendingly.

“Don’t screw with me!” Redpen yelled then shot massive amounts of Holy Fire through his already fire-imbued hoofs causing Nero to be flown backwards and straight into the ground.

Redpen then charges towards him but suddenly Nero appears next to him and bashes him in the face with his wing. Redpen goes flying through the city as Nero appears next to him again and goes to buck him to the ground, but Redpen disappears.

“Ha! This again!?” Nero yells confidently, knowing that he was going to be struck at any moment but nothing happened, suddenly he’s stuck in the legs by a ball of holy fire.

He looks around and sees that Redpen is on the ground, firing volleys of fire balls at him a few more hit him before he turns into an ice colored phoenix and flies towards him and strikes the ground in an explosion of fire.

Redpen gets blown back but lands on his hoofs and gallops towards him. He engulfs his body in Holy Fire again and punches Nero who proceeds to parry it with his wing and follows up with a punch of his own causing Redpen to cough up blood and fly through multiple buildings.

He recovers and sees Nero galloping towards him with a crazy grin. Redpen fires a huge fire ball at him but he jumps over it and dashes towards him, trying to strike him with his wing. Redpen dodges and summons a multitude of flaming sword which rain down upon Nero who uses his wings to cover himself causing them to be severed.

Redpen grins, thinking he crippled Nero’s movement capabilities but his look quickly turns back into desperation as Nero grows them back.

“You really thought that you can kill me that easily?” Nero said condescendingly and then fires flaming swords of his own at him.

Redpen quickly dodges then, getting cut a few times and then gallops away, but Nero materializes next him and punches him in the face causing him to fly through another couple of buildings.

“Pff so much for a decent fight.” Nero said, walking towards Redpen who was struggling to get up, his power’s healing properties weren’t working due to Nero’s ice freezing and extinguishing it.

“Time to die Redpen.” Nero said smiling as he summons a gigantic ball of icy-blue and black fire. Redpen sighs and looks at it, preparing to die, but he hears Nero talking to himself.

“What? ARE YOU SHITTING ME!? Fine.” Nero said as he dissipated the fireball, “You lucky bastard. Looks like I have to get back to H.Q.” He said quickly flying away.

Nero turns back into a black phoenix and flies away leaving Redpen alone. “Damn it...” Redpen fell flat to the ground. “I failed.” He said in a painful whispering tone. “I failed, I failed, I failed, I failed.” He repeated. Redpen looks up slowly, he sees a book in front of him. “W-what, how did this appeared here?” He wondered.

The book was the book of Samuel, but unlike the one Twilight had. This one was not made of leather and skin. This one was made of metal. The center of the cover had Samuel’s pentagram triangle. Redpen crawls to the book grunting in pain due to his injuries. “I am going to regret this...” Redpen used his horn to open the book to the first page. “But it is my only choice.” He said as images of Nero flash through his eyes. Hate began to boil up in him.

‘Why would it matter if I kill them? I am more powerful then them.’ Nero voice was heard in Redpen’s head.

‘Powerful or not, you shouldn’t just kill them!’ Redpen heard himself yelling in his head at Nero.

“N-Nero... you were never like this... what happened to you?” Redpen muttered to himself as he drips his own blood from his head on the page. Red words began glowing. Redpen didn’t have to read the book. He studied the Samuel Bibliums before when he joined Paradise. Strife gave him a test before he became a traveller just for safety if he ever encounters a Samuelnist.

Redpen hears a laughing voice in his head as he slowly succumbs to darkness. “Well hello there monkey. Yes, I called you monkey. Even though you are a pony, you are just simply a monkey...” Redpen didn’t say anything. “Can’t talk I see, are you mute hmm? Probably dead. If you are dead, then how did you signed your name in blood on the book?” The voice asked. Redpen still did not say anything. “Well, I think you are unconscious on the outside world, but in the inside, you are very much alive and aware in what is going on in your head. I might as well present myself, my name is Destructioya, or Destroyer for short. I am no god monkey, no, I am an assistant for the goat skull wearing god called Samuel.” Destroyer said in a enthusiatic tone.

“Hmm, you seem hell bent on this Nero guy, I can see why. Looking through your memories you two knew each other before this cult affair crap started. Friends, maybe more, who knows. I don’t care, but what I do care about here is how am I going to be of any good use to you?” Destroyer asked.

Redpen was heard mumbling in the darkness. “What was that?” Destroyer asked.

“I said, to help me survive... the after effects Nero’s flames left in me have prevented me from healing. I need you to heal me, before I die.” Redpen said in a painful tone.

“That is all, are you serious? Sheesh monkey, you could of said something more better then that.” Destroyer said.

“My name is Redpen!” Redpen snapped, but that only made Destroyer laughed.

“I don’t care, look... I will heal you of course, but I am sure you are aware of what you are getting yourself into. You sold your soul, body, and mind to me and Samuel. I can see the sin you have in you...” Destroyer began to laughed. After he laughed, he finishes his sentence saying, “I see a lot of Gluttony. The flames burns continuously, eating away at anything in its path. Monkey, I see you are about to die, so I might as well end this. Wake up you nut head, because you now have someone in your like me!” He laughed.

Redpen woke up in the forest. He gets up and looks around. “What, how did I get here?” Redpen asked while looking around.

‘Isn’t it obvious, I took control of you and brought you here.’ Destroyer said echoing in Redpen’s head.

“You did?” Redpen asked looking at his hooves for any cuts on him. His body was completely heal. “I am all heal.” He said smiling. “I have to get back to the H.Q. The others need to be aware of the griffin kingdom getting burned down.” He said opening his wings. Redpen took a deep breath and focus his flames to gather around him, turning him into a phoenix. He flew to the sky and then flew straight, heading towards Ponyville.
