Equestrians

After finishing Lunch, Cadence frowned at Celestia “Sunset is overly brutal, I’m not sure I want her back.”

Twilight blinked “What do you mean?”

Cadence grimaced “Sunset treated me really badly. She bullied me all the time I had known her.”

Celestia frowned. “That was on me, I filled her head with the idea of a grand destiny that she would achieve one day.”

Discord frowned “Well when she returns you will get to apologise to her.” Fluttershy nodded as he clicked his fingers.

Sunset

Soldier frowned as the enemies before them fell. “What was your life like back home?”

Sunset turned to him covered in blood. “It was peaceful, war and violence were distant memories.”

Soldier frowned as they continued on “You didn't fit in there very well.”

Sunset sighed “Well, I desired power and glory. Stuff I couldn’t get and that made me direct my frustrations towards others, to do a lot of awful things to those around me.”

Soldier nodded, “Well now you are in a place where you can do some good.”

Sunset asked as they made their way through the area “How did you end up here anyway?”

Soldier grimaced “My commanding officer ordered me to fire on civilians, people who had done nothing wrong. I killed him and was sent out here as punishment. It was a very boring post, nothing happened here. At least until the demons showed up.”

Sunset nodded “You are here for a better reason than I am.” Her eyes then narrowed as one of those hulking beasts from earlier, a Hell Baron Soldier called them. Her eyes focused on the creature, Sunset caught a ball of green fire in her hands tossing it back to Hell Baron. She grinned as her knee made contact with the Hell Baron’s face, the sound of it’s skull cracking under her strike.

Sunset landed on the Hell Baron’s chest as it crashed into the ground. Sunset launched into the air, she felt it’s head give way as blood exploded from the impact. Soldier gave her a thumbs up. “You did better.”

Sunset grinned “I will take any more of those things out.” Sunset and Soldier continued to navigate the moon of Deimos. The demons were barely an inconvenience and Sunset's ability to handle the Hell Barons in small numbers made heading further in easier.

Sunset frowned as they gazed at a giant fortress “What is this place.”

Soldier frowned “I don’t know, no such thing is on the database. I suspect the demons built this facility.” The pair entered the huge fortress only to see Cacodemon's corpses on the floor and Hell Baron corpses on the wall.

Sunset grimaced “So these creatures do kill each other? Just when I thought they couldn’t be more evil.”

Soldier shrugged, “Humans kill each other too, often for petty reasons. These creatures are in our stories and are used as a reflection of our darkest selves and a reminder to be better.”

Sunset frowned “I didn’t know you read?”

Soldier frowned. “Well given what they were doing here, they had a few books on demons and other supernatural beings back at my base. Had to do something with my time. Probably summoned them here, poor fools.”

Sunset’s eyes darted to four Hell Barons charging from every direction. Sunset dove towards one throwing fireball at another drawing it’s attention. Sunset felt her legs slammont the chest of her enemy, her hand rending flesh as felt the beating heart of the creature in her hand. She tossed it out with a yank as she felt the titanic creature hit the ground with a mighty crash.

Sunset tossed the heart towards the second Hell Baron repeating the process. Soldier in the meantime had taken out the other two.

Twilight took a deep breath “ Sunset seems like she is growing very quickly in power, could this get to her head?”

Discord frowned “Better that than she dies. Still I understand your concerns, I may have acted prematurely but it is way too late for me to change it.”

Luna raised an eyebrow “You didn’t consider this when you watched it by yourself?

Discord chuckled “I am the Spirit of Chaos, I can get very easily caught up in things and not think about the consequences. It’s why I like being challenged, it means I have to think.”

Celestia frowned “How much more of this is coming.”

Discord frowned. “Well I’ll cut most of the travel out, most of it is just casually killing demons and grabbing keys. Boring stuff.”

Sunset

Sunset and Soldier have arrived at a tower, they enter the tower climbing it’s stairs until they find themselves in a room with a creature even larger than the Hell Barons before.

Sunset’s eyes narrowed as she barreled forward, her hooves slamming against the ground. Sunset was going to end this creature, she promised herself as her heart pounded. The smell of brimstone and the sound of weapons as she avoided the incoming rockets. Her fist collided with the hardened skin of the demon, sending the creature skidding along the ground.

The hulking demon’s roar echoed throughout the chamber, Sunset turned to Soldier “What do we do?”

Soldier grinned “This.” As he pulled a massive weapon far larger than any she had seen him use before. She watched as a giant green orb of energy slammed into the demon before them, it exploded on contact completely annihilating the creature.

Sunset frowned as she saw fiery wasteland off the side of the moon “What is that?”

Soldier growled “That is Hell, the home of the Demons. I think it's time we paid them a visit.”

Sunset growled “We will end this here and now!” The duo rappel down to the surface of Hell, the realm of Inferno awaiting them.

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow “Did they really just dive into hell?”

Discord sighed “Yes, reckless decision and it’s hardly the first time either. That was too insane even for me, I still can’t fathom the thought of diving into hell so recklessly even once.”

Luna grinned “I absolutely would. I have been itching for something.” She then pouted “I have been told going out to fight dragons is ill befitting of a Princess.”

Celestia sighed “Gossip will spread about you being unfit for your position, abandoning it for flights of fancy.”

Discord smirked, “I’m sure Twilight could take over for a couple of days, it would be a good experience should you two decide to retire.”

Twilight’s eyes narrowed to pinpricks “Run Equestria! I got to study!” Discord burst into raucous laughter as Twilight bolted down the hallways at breakneck speeds.

Fluttershy frowned “That is not a nice way to treat a friend.”

Discord took a deep breath as he settled down “It is something she should be thinking about.” He then frowned at the two senior Princesses “After all you two are planning something to that effect, aren’t you?” Celestia and Luna nod, as Fluttershy sighed hoping everything would be alright.
