Chapter 8 Erebos:The Prideful Devil Part 1

The next day came and Paradise had their meeting. Pinkie told them the guardian devils that were in Ponyville. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash were mentioned to be guarded by their devils. Strife had the others exclude Fluttershy after what happened yesterday. Their mission was simple,take care of the guardian devils. But, there was another problem they were aware of Azazel spies. They could be anyone and they wouldn’t even expect it. So they had two situations on their hooves Samuel’s guardian devils and Azazel spies that can strike at any time.

Magic was looking for Rainbow Dash volunteering by himself. Strife wanted to go see Fluttershy to see if she was alright and Dream and Pinkie were off investigating any Azazel spies being located in the town and Spike was at the house watching over it. Magic flew into the sky over the town on his search for Rainbow. He couldn’t find her whatsoever.
For twenty minutes of searching for Rainbow he had no luck and decided to lie on a cloud. “Hmm where can she be?” Magic asks himself. He was becoming bored and tired now,after all searching for a Rainbow-maned, cyan-Pegasus that stood out of the crowd was thought to be easy; turns out it wasn’t. Deciding to take a nap Magic slowly closes his eyes.
‘Hmm what to do,what to do,I wonder?’ He thought to himself. ‘Ha! I got it I’ll create an awesome Cello then break it on purpose just to see Dream’s angry expression about my musical abuse. Genius! He makes one of the funniest angry faces I’ve ever seen in my entire life,so doing this will be perfect!’ He thought. “Shut up!” Magic heard Rainbow yell from below.

Making a hole in the cloud he peeks down seeing Rainbow Dash covered in scratches yelling at Erebos. Rainbow Dash’s left hind leg had been bruised badly and she flinches in pain each time she touch the ground with it.
Erebos only chuckles and says, “Now don’t fret Dashy my dear after all I am training you to fight Azazel.” Erebos says. His eyes glowed through the hood and the scratches and bruise marks on Dash vanish. She sat down gritting her teeth staring at the ground.

Magic noticed the trees around them were partially destroyed and torn off. ‘Wonder what they did?’ He thought.
“Now Dash, how are you going to beat Azazel and avenge Scootaloo’s death if you keep letting pride and anger blind your eyes? You do realize that a friend of yours bares Wrath so it’s a good idea to avoid taking her sin’s place.” Erebos said.
“Shut up it’s just hard you know. My wings broke five times cause of you.” Dash says glaring at Erebos. “Well it’s training after all and it’s obvious I’m going to be damaging your wings.” Erebos said sitting on the ground.

“Yeah by training I didn’t expect you to have literally ripped my wings apart!” Dash yells at the grinning colt devil.
“Well then if makes you feel better I’ve already healed your wings. We’ll take a break.” Erebos said.
“No! I can’t take a break I have to become stronger! I have to avenge Scootaloo!” Dash yells causing Erebos to only laugh.
The cruel devil says, “That will be unnecessary Dash. I have a mission for you after you’re done regaining your strength.” Erebos walks past.

Dash stomps the dirt with her hoof and turns around looking at Erebos yelling, “Train me now!” Erebos ignores her with a grin plastered through his hood. Black bat wings shot out his cloak and he flew away laughing.
Dash wanted to fly after him but, held herself back. Erebos was right,she needed to regain her strength. The training she receives from him was too much. Dash was about to fly away until she stops and looks up at a cloud. Magic knew she was looking at the cloud he was on and was hiding so that way she won’t spot him.

Guessing it was just an ordinary cloud,Dash flew off. Magic gave sigh in relief. “Okay,so she’s training with Erebos to kill Azazel after he killed this ‘Scootaloo’ pony. Strife told me Erebos was very cruel to his contractors due to him not caring about them or their loved ones lives. So pretty much he’s the hugest douche bag ever. Okay this seems easy enough to know what I’m going up against. Well time to visit Dash and purge her out of this contract.” Magic says.

He smirks and flies off the cloud towards Rainbow Dash’s direction. When Magic was out of sight Erebos landed on the cloud he flew from and was still grinning. Dexilus was next to Erebos looking bored and says, “Aren’t you going to go after him?”
Erebos only shook his head no and said, “I want to see how special this youngling is. Lord Samuel said that he was the one we had to be careful around.” Erebos got a frustrating sigh from Dexilus. “The one with that instrument thingy,what do you call that crap?” Dexilus asks.

“A cello, a string instrument that’s a larger version of a viola and a violin and also the younger sibling of the bass.” Erebos says looking at Dexilus. “You’re into those instruments?” Dexilus asks lifting an eyebrow. “Why yes,Lyncro and I listen to them a lot.” Erebos said.

“Whatever,I really don’t care anymore about the music but if you want to see how good he is how about you just fight him or get Dash to fight him?” Dexilus asks.

“Now what fun would that be? Dash is suffering from her anger. Since Azazel sent Faliximis,or a piece of himself,to kill her little sister. The prideful sin of vengeance is drugging her mind. Eventually Magic will come into play which will balance her mind from pride to humility, an equal balance with her virtue. Due to seeing her anger I must say it seems like she’s your contractor.” Erebos said.

Dexilius rubs his chin with his hoof thinking and then says, “Well we can’t allow that you know what will happen and father will be pissed at us like he was at Shinnock.”

Erebos only laughs a little and says, “Don’t worry I know what to do,after all I am her guardian devil. If she tries to turn on me I’ll kill her on the spot without a single care in the whole rotten world.” Erebos said.

Dexilus sighs in annoyance and says, “You are too prideful of yourself you know. You better deal with her or were both screwed.” Dexilus then vanishes leaving the laughing devil to himself.

“I can’t be killed for I am the strongest devil there is. Now Magic, do your part so that soon I may come in and take your life by myself.” Erebos said beginning to laugh again. He didn’t notice a pink cloud floating above him disappearing into pink smoke.

Rainbow Dash got to her home. When she opened the door she felt a sudden wave of pain and sorrow hit her. She was thinking about Scootaloo. Usually the little filly will greet her with enough energy to tie with Pinkie but there was no greeting. No whisper or any sign of sound that sounded like her. Scootaloo was gone.

No one knew she was dead except her, Applejack and her family, and Rarity and Sweetie Belle. She kept it that way so no one can interfere with her vendetta. Entering into her home Dash flew upstairs and walked towards her room. She stops and looks at one door made out of clouds. This was Scootaloo’s room.

Entering into the room Dash gasps with her eyes widening as she saw Scootaloo lying in her cloud-made bed,asleep,holding a Rainbow Dash sewn doll. “S-Scoot.” Dash says rubbing her eyes in disbelief. When she stops Scoot was gone. This made Rainbow Dash frown again. She was hallucinating.

“Damn it.” She mutters. Her eyes were beginning to water up. “Damn it!” She yells. Tears began to roll down her eyes as she yells damn it again with more anger in her tone then before. “I’m so sorry Scoot I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!” She collapses on Scootaloo’s cloud bed crying.

Magic was hearing her cry from the outside of her house frowning. ‘Alright I think I understand what I’m going up against here Dash is in need of help but, Erebos said about me being a balancer towards her sin and pain. But, if I begin to help her then he will kill me,as if he could. But, if Rainbow Dash turns on him he won’t hesitate to kill her. Shinnock hesitated for a while with Pinkie. Okay let’s come up with a plan. Magic go in make her frown go right upside down.’ Magic thought.

“Alright here we go.” Magic said flying towards Dash’s door. He knocks and hears Dash yelling hold on. After a few minutes Dash opens the door seeing a smiling pink eyed Pegasus. “Magic what are you doing here and how do you know I live here?” Dash asks.

Magic chuckles a little trying to think of a good reason that won’t let her know he was following her. “You see umm…Pinkie told me.” Magic says still giving Dash his traditional smile. “Oh well what do you want? I’m kind of busy.” Dash asks. She was lying and Magic knew it.

“Well I wanted to have chat with you that’s all.” Magic says seeing Dash becoming nervous.

“No thank you maybe some other time.” Dash said rubbing the back of her mane with her hoof.

“It’s really quick Dash.It’s just I’m new to Ponyville,and Cloudsdale as well,and I wanted to know if you can be my tour guide?” Magic asks. He really didn’t need a tour guide,he knew his way around better then any pony.

“Well I’m not sure I really am tired from my job.” Dash said. “Come on please.” Magic gave her a pouting face. Dash couldn’t help but laugh at his expression,it was funny. ‘Plan A making her laugh done, up to plan B.’ Magic thought smirking. “So I take your laughing as a yes I believe?” He asks smiling at the cyan mare. Rainbow Dash stops laughing and smiles at Magic. She needed that after all. A simple laugh from a nice Pegasus made her happy.

“Well I don’t think I can really show you around Cloudsdale now but, you can come in.” Dash says causing Magic to perform victory dance in his head. When he enters the cloud kingdom house of hers Magic was amazed by the scenery. Sure most of the stuff was made from clouds but, the decorations and hard work put into the design of the home of hers was beautiful.
“Your cloud kingdom looks amazing Dash!” Magic says turning to her. Dash blushes feeling embarrassed and says, “Oh umm thanks I’m glad you like it.”
Magic smirks and says, “Like it to the fullest! Seriously this place is awesome!” Magic flies towards her. “Glad you like it Scoot.” Dash covers her mouth shock at the words that came out her mouth.

“Scoot, who’s that?” Magic looks at her confused. “N-no one sorry, do you want something to eat?” Dash quickly says flying towards the kitchen but, her tail was grabbed by Magic preventing her from going to the kitchen.
“Hey let go.” She looks back seeing Magic giving her a serious look. “I’m done playing spy. Now tell me,who’s ‘Scoot’ Dash?” Magic asks letting her tail go.

“It’s none off your business!” Dash yells in an angry tone Magic didn’t flinch at her outburst. “It is my business. If it involves any cult related activities then I have to handle the situation.” Magic said. He wasn’t smiling anymore instead he replaced that smile with a determined look.

“You think I am in some kind of cult?” Dash asks. “Yeah that‘s why I‘m here.” Magic said. Dash got mad and swung her right hoof at Magic but he vanishes into pink smoke shocking Dash. “I am not here to fight. I’m here to help you.” Magic says as he walks up to Dash from her left.

“H-how did you do that?” Dash asks. “Essemancy. Now Dash before you do anything rash which I’m sure you’re prone to. Hear me out I want to help you. The guardian devil of yours,Erebos I believe,is training you to fight Azazel correct?” Magic asks earning a nod from Dash.

He began to continue on speaking. “Contractors like you are corrupted by their guardian devils into doing things they would never want to do if they were in control of their own body. What I’m trying to say is Erebos isn’t the key to help you avenge your friend’s death.” Magic said.

“But, he is the only one who can help me get stronger. That way I can kill Azazel. Who else can help me get stronger!?” Dash yells feeling tears rolling out her eyes.

“I can. My friends and your friends can. But Erebos,no,he’ll just get you killed.” Magic said. “Why do you care can you resurrect me when I die!?” She yells again. Magic frowns at her. He saw the pain up close now. It was pride, her sin. The sin she was suffering causing only pain and anger upon her.

“I’m not sure if you will die…and I’m not sure if there is any other pony that will resurrect you. But know this,you won’t die,I won’t allow it.” Magic said.

“We just met,why do you care about me that much? What is it because I am the only source for your mission in killing us just because of our beliefs!?” Dash asks getting into Magic’s face gritting her teeth. He saw hate and pain in her eyes. “Yes and no. Paradise only eliminates the cults that perform rituals that involve taking an innocent soul. We may have been heard of,but our mission is to stop only bad cults. To protect the innocent souls even if they are ponies or not we will protect them from cults that take their lives for some god of death.” Magic said.

Magic gave Dash a smile and said with a proud tone, “Plus we protect those that are dear to us. Dash you can be a Samuelnist all you want,but to follow a colt that laughs at your misery causing you to distance yourself from your friends and harbor hate and sadness,then I am not going to stay in one spot and spectate your pain. No,I’m going to help you.”
Magic saw Dash becoming shocked. She closed her eyes as tears began to form from her eyes. Magic knew she was going to cry. “He is my guardian devil.” Dash says looking at Magic and then yells, “He was the only one that gave me a choice to keep Scootaloo alive but I threw that offer of protection away out of my own arrogance,and now I am trapped in this pain. Do you even know how it feels to lose something that is connected to you!? Do you even know Magic how it feels to lose it like that!?” Magic’s smile was replaced with a frown.

“He is my guardian devil for he is the giver of my pain and my misery. I must take the pain as my punishment for my arrogance! The more I build this then soon I can reveal to Azazel my pain! Who do you think you are!? What am I really am to you!? Answer me!” Dash yells. She seemed as if she was out of breath due to her outburst. But, Magic stood his ground.

“Who I am to you? Well that’s easy.” Magic said. A smile came back on his face confusing Dash. “I’m your guardian angel. The one who can see your pain, the one who will come to your dire need and help you. The reasonable one you can say. The very angel you’ll smile at when you are feeling down. I am your guardian angel. Even if you agree with it or not,I am,and I will always be your guardian angel.” Magic says shocking Dash.

Dash couldn’t understand why he was doing this,she was still confused. Magic wanted to help her. But, not in a way Erebos usually does. No he wanted to be by her side and help her get rid of this pain and misery. Finally getting the chance to speak Dash asks one question. “Why?”

She wanted to know again why he was so willing to help her. “Why?” Magic repeated her question. He chuckles a little and said, “Like I said before,you are my friend.”

Dash sat down now understanding him. Magic was her friend. “The meaning of friendship sure is coming back to me now.” Dash said quietly rubbing her eyes wiping the tears away. Magic heard Dash and begin to laugh a little. She looks up at Magic with a smile on her face.

Her eyes were a little red due to her crying. ‘Plan B complete. Got her to accept me as her friend.’ Magic thought. “Magic thank you,I understand now.” Dash said. “Glad you do.” Magic said. “If you’re going to be my guardian angel then can I request a favor from you?” Dash asks.

“Yeah and what is that?” Magic asks. “For the pain and torment Erebos brought upon me I need to settle things with him by myself.” Dash said giving Magic a serious look. “You sure you want to do it alone?” He asks.

“Yeah…this is what I really want to do.” She said. Magic gives off a sigh and smiles at Dash. He then says, “Alright Dash. As your guardian angel I will watch over you but, if things get out of hand I will be there by your side.” Magic said.

Dash nodded. “Alright then let’s go.” Magic says. “I can’t now, training with Erebos got me beat. Tomorrow will be alright.” She said.

Magic nodded and walks towards the door. But, before he left he turns to Dash and says, “Hey…you should smile more. It can help push the bad things hovering over you to be cast away.” Dash nodded giving the happy going Pegasus a smile of understanding.

“You sound like Pinkie Pie now always bringing a smile to every pony’s face.” Dash said. “Heh you can say,I would like to know her a lot more. Maybe even go out with her.” Magic says beginning to chuckle nervously.
“You should,you two look perfect for each other.” Dash said. “Yea but unfortunately I have to deal with this cult problem first. Now we should probably get ready for tomorrow. I’ll stay outside,just in case,while you rest.”

Magic opens the door and gave Dash a farewell smirk, then flies off. Dash’s smile then fades as she looks down. ‘Scootaloo I won’t screw up again. I won’t let my arrogance get in the way again. No,I’m going to do better. I’ll avenge you,but not by myself no…but, with my friends. Magic…’Dash thought as she flew to a cloud-made couch. Laying on it,she closes her eyes smiling and mutters quietly before going to sleep, “…Thank you.”

In the realm of Samuel

“HEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! She really thinks she can handle me!? The worthless degenerate Pegasus thinks she can handle me!? How pathetic!” Erebos yells,laughing.

He was in a dark room looking at the mirror. Pulling down his hood he reveals gray sharp pointed horns along with a dark mane that’s short and wavy. His coat was completely dark. His eyes were a dark shade of red.

Erebos was grinning at his own reflection then says, “I am stronger than her. I am far quicker than him. I am a god after all and they are not. I am Erebos! The true God of Pride! Son of Fenrir! Oh my dear Dashie I can’t wait for tomorrow. I can’t wait to punish you even further. It will teach you that I am the powerful one. I am the one you should fear and worship.”
Erebos was holding back from laughing but, let it go and was rolling on the ground. “Wait a minute time in this realm goes faster,that means a day in that world has passed.” Erebos said rubbing his chin with his hoof.

A grin slowly makes its way onto his face. “Time to pay you a nice visit Dash.” Erebos said as bat wings pop out his back wrapping around his body. He soon vanishes leaving behind an echoing laughter within his room.

Back at Equestria during the daytime

Magic and Dash stood in a clear field far away from Equestria. They waited patiently for Erebos. “Where is he?” Dash looks around for the prideful devil.

“He’ll come,after all I’m sure he likes to make an entrance like most of the gods.” Magic said. ‘On second thought,how come they do that? Look at Shinnock,he nearly caught my neck.’ Magic was thinking not noticing Dash calling his name until she pokes him in the shoulder with her hoof.

He snaps out of his thoughts and gave Dash a sheepish smile rubbing the back of his head with his hoof. “My dear Dashie,nice that you brought a Paradise degenerate here for me to kill.” Erebos says causing Magic and Dash to turn around glaring at the grinning devil pony.

“I’m guessing you already know why I am here with Dash right?” Magic asks. “Yes…I had to burn the contract cause of you. But, I don’t mind killing a degenerate like her and you will make me feel good for a while. So enough with the intros are you both ready to die by The Grinning Devil of Pride?” Erebos asks grinning.
“Well I am not going to fight you. I’m going to help Dash in this battle.” Magic says seeing Dash give him a determined smirk. She was ready to fight Erebos.

“Doesn’t matter what your planning you’ll be dead after the weak Pegasus is taken care of.” Erebos said. He begins to laugh looking at Dash and says one sentence that angered her to the breaking point causing Magic to give Erebos a grave look. “Poor Scootaloo maybe she could’ve been a perfect servant to me, one not weak, one not easy to die making me resurrect all the time oh well maybe she would’ve been a pathetic weakling like you.” With those words that came out Erebos mouth.

His grin soon vanished after seeing Dash not even yelling at his insult. He knew she was mad. He could feel it. “Well then,shall we dance in our prideful blood?” Erebos asks as his wings spread open. Dash closes her eyes then reopens them glaring back at Erebos saying, “Shut up and just fight you piece of donkey shit.” Magic began to laugh at Dash’s insult causing Erebos to become angry.

“Willing to die so fast then let me kill you now.” Erebos said. They glare at one another not moving.

Magic was done laughing and gave a smile to Dash saying, “Go for it Dash I’m here for you.” Dash nodded not looking away from Erebos. Opening her wings Dash prepares herself to fly towards Erebos and take him out. This was her fight against the formal guardian devil of hers. Her arrogance vanishes with determination…and hope.
