Chapter 17: The Gift of Life....And Death

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The cold, sterile walls of Ponyville General Hospital reverberated with the sounds of panicked hoofsteps and frantic voices. In a secluded room at the end of the maternity ward, Fluttershy lay on a bed, her face twisted in agony as she fought to bring new life into the world. Beads of sweat dotted her brow as she clutched the sheets with all her might, releasing a guttural moan.

"You're almost there, Fluttershy," Nurse Redheart urged, her calm voice barely masking her own anxiety. "Just a little more."

In the hallway outside, Rainbow Dash paced back and forth, her normally vibrant mane now wild and unkempt from constant tugging. Pinkie Pie sat nearby, uncharacteristically still, her gaze fixed on the closed door. Niffty stood beside them, bouncing on her hooves with frenzied excitement, her single eye darting between her new friends and the door.

"Oh my goodness! A precious new foal about to enter the world!" Niffty squealed, unable to contain her glee.

Rainbow Dash paused in her pacing to give Niffty a stern look. "Yeah, it may be exciting for you but for us...it's nerve-wracking. I just hope Fluttershy makes it through this."

Inside the room, Alastor stood firmly by Fluttershy's side, his ever-present grin wavering slightly as he held her hand. "My dear, you're doing remarkably well," he said through gritted teeth, trying not to show his concern.

As another contraction ripped through Fluttershy's body, she let out a blood-curdling scream that echoed through the entire hospital wing. The moment they had all been anxiously waiting for had finally arrived.

"I can see the head!" Doctor Stable announced urgently. "One last push, Fluttershy!"

With a guttural growl, Fluttershy summoned all her remaining strength to push with every fiber of her being. The room fell silent, holding its breath in anticipation before erupting into chaos as the newborn's first cry pierced the air. The shrill wails of the baby filled the room, but they were quickly drowned out by the gasps and murmurs of the medical staff. Even Doctor Stable, known for his unshakable professionalism, faltered for a moment as he cleaned and swaddled the child.

Nurse Redheart's hands trembled as she assisted, her eyes widening in shock and unease at what lay before them. The doctor exchanged a concerned glance with her before turning to address the new mother.

"Congratulations," his voice strained as he handed the bundle to Fluttershy, "you have a... unique baby girl."

Fluttershy, lost in overwhelming joy and emotion, didn't seem to notice the tension in the room. She cradled her daughter in awe as Alastor beamed with pride and excitement.

But behind his ever-present smile, Alastor also noticed the unease coming from the medical staff. His tone turned sharp as he addressed Doctor Stable, "Is there a problem?"

The doctor swallowed hard, his composure slipping. "No, no problem at all. She's... perfectly healthy. Just... different."

Nurse Redheart busied herself with checking Fluttershy's vitals, avoiding direct eye contact with the newborn.

As Fluttershy gazed lovingly at her daughter's appearance, she couldn't help but notice how different this foal was from any other. Her pale yellow coat reminded her of her own coloring, but two small demon horns protruded from her forehead, barely concealed by a tuft of hot pink mane. When the newborn's eyes fluttered open, they revealed striking crimson irises that seemed to glow with an otherworldly power. Tiny pegasus wings, like her mother's, were tucked against her sides, but their small, sharp red nails hinted at something more sinister. The tension in the room was palpable as Fluttershy nuzzled her newborn daughter. The medical staff, unsure of how to proceed with this unique birth, exchanged uneasy glances.

The doctor, visibly shaken, attempted to regain his professional demeanor. "Do you... do you have a name picked out for her?" he asked, his voice slightly trembling.

Fluttershy paused, cradling her daughter in her arms. Her eyes sparkled with love and inspiration as she whispered, "Scarlett Wisp." She then tested the sound of it on her lips, savoring the name. "My daughter, Scarlett Wisp."

The doctor nodded and quickly jotted down the name on the birth certificate. "Very well, Scarlett Wisp it is."

He shot a quick glance at Nurse Redheart before making a hasty exit, eager to leave the unusual family alone. As soon as the medical staff left, Alastor's pony disguise shimmered and fell away to reveal his true form. His antlers extended, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity, and his clawed hands emerged. He leaned over Fluttershy and her daughter, reaching out with a single clawed finger towards the infant. Scarlett Wisp's crimson eyes locked onto the demon's form. Instead of fear, there was recognition in her gaze. Her tiny red nails flexed as she reached out and grasped at Alastor's extended claw.

A proud grin spread across Alastor's face as he observed the unique little creature. "Well, hello there, little doe," he cooed in his ever-present gravelly voice that carried an enchanting echo. "Aren't you just the most peculiar little thing?"

Fluttershy's hair was disheveled and sweat glistened on her forehead as she looked up at Alastor, a mix of exhaustion and joy in her eyes. "She's perfect, isn't she?" she said softly, the bundle in her arms squirming and cooing. "Our little Scarlett Wisp."

"I'm afraid I have no clue what you're talking about." Alastor replied with a crooked grin, feigning ignorance. “Do you mean to say that this child is not yours?”

"Do not take me for a fool, Alastor," Fluttershy said, her voice steady but firm as she looked up at the demon. “We made a deal, remember? You removed the bull's essence from my womb, but what stopped you from placing your own essence in its place?”

“Clever little pony," Alastor said, his grin widening even more. "There's a reason why I found you so intriguing." He cackled, the sound echoing eerily in the silent room.

“So…it’s true then?” Fluttershy said, her tone filled with both awe and confusion. “You turned my child into yours?”

“Tell me, do you regret the deal we made, my Dear?" Alastor asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No," Fluttershy said resolutely, cradling the infant closer to her chest. "Just... surprised."

"And why is that?" Alastor's voice was almost friendly now, the predatory edge replaced with something akin to curiosity.

“Because,” Fluttershy began, her gaze falling tenderly upon her daughter. “Despite everything... I don’t see a demon in her. I see my daughter. My little Scarlett Wisp.”

A moment of silence fell upon the room, broken only by the soft cooing of the infant. Alastor's ever-present grin softened into a rare genuine smile.

“That's because she is your daughter, Fluttershy," Alastor said, "As much as she is mine."

The realization hit Fluttershy with a force that left her breathless. "But she’s... different..."

"Being different isn't a bad thing, my dear," Alastor reassured, his gaze fixed on the child in front of him. "Everything born into this world is unique. You, me, and now little Scarlett Wisp."

Fluttershy turned to him, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "And your essence... what will it do to her?"

"It will make her powerful," Alastor stated confidently, his attention still focused on the sleeping infant. "She will possess abilities beyond those of a mere mortal."

Fluttershy's eyes returned to Scarlett Wisp, cradled peacefully in her arms. "But... what does this mean for her? For us?"

Alastor's claw traced gently over Scarlett's features. "It means that she has incredible potential, my dear. More than you can imagine."

Fluttershy's brow furrowed with concern. "But what about her future? Will she be... safe?"

"Safe?" Alastor chuckled, his voice unnaturally echoing in the small room. "Oh no, my dear, she will be more than safe. She will be formidable."

Fluttershy lifted her eyes to meet Alastor's, determination shining through her worry. "Promise me, Alastor. Promise me that you will help me protect her, guide her. She may have demon blood running through her veins, but she is also part pony. She deserves a chance at a normal life too."

Alastor's toothy grin softened ever so slightly, revealing a glimmer of warmth beneath his sharp features. He placed a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder, his touch surprisingly gentle for a demon. "My dear, I may be many things, but I am a demon of my word. Our little Scarlett Wisp will want for nothing. Between your boundless kindness and my... unique talents, she'll have the best of both worlds."

As if on cue, Scarlett Wisp opened her crimson eyes, taking in her new surroundings with curiosity. Her delicate fingers curled around her mother's pink mane as she looked between her parents. A small, toothless smile spread across her face, and for a moment, the room seemed to grow a shade darker as an aura of power radiated from the newborn.

Fluttershy gasped softly at the sudden change in atmosphere. "Alastor, did you see that?"

"Indeed I did," Alastor replied, his voice filled with unmistakable pride. "It seems our little doe is already full of surprises." His glowing red eyes held a mix of admiration and amusement as he watched his daughter display her innate abilities


As Fluttershy cradled her newborn daughter, Scarlett Wisp, she nervously invited her closest friends to meet the unique being that had entered their world. With a mixture of excitement and curiosity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack gathered in the living room of the cottage.

As Fluttershy unveiled Scarlett's appearance, the reactions of her friends varied greatly. Rainbow Dash's mouth dropped open in shock, unable to process the sight before her. Applejack tilted her head, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. Rarity gasped and covered her mouth with a perfectly manicured hand, unsure of how to react.

"She's... certainly distinctive," Rarity managed to say through a forced smile. "But I'm sure she's just as precious as can be."

In typical blunt fashion, Rainbow Dash blurted out, "Fluttershy, who or what did you sleep with?"

Applejack nudged her friend with a warning look, but her own expression remained cautious. "She's... different, Sugarcube. But I know she'll grow up to be just as wonderful as her mother."

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie bounced around excitedly, completely unfazed by Scarlett's appearance. "Oh my gosh! Look at those adorable little horn stumps and those big red eyes! She's just too cute!"

Even Niffty couldn't resist hovering closer to coo over the baby. "She's absolutely precious! I could just eat her up!" she exclaimed with a giggle.

Fluttershy held Scarlett protectively in her arms, feeling the mixed reactions of her friends as they laid eyes on the half-demon infant for the first time. The gentle pegasus reassured them, "I know she looks a bit different, but she's still just a baby. My baby."

The friends exchanged glances, their initial shock slowly giving way to acceptance as they saw the love and adoration in Fluttershy's eyes for her child.

As the weeks passed, Fluttershy found herself thrown into a whirlwind of sleepless nights and constant demands. The once peaceful and quiet cottage was now filled with cries and coos from the little bundle of energy that was Scarlett Wisp. Despite being used to caring for animals, Fluttershy quickly learned that even a half-demon infant had needs much like any other newborn - just more intense and frequent.

Scarlett's cries, while not supernatural, were certainly powerful. They echoed through the cottage at all hours, leaving Fluttershy exhausted but determined to provide for her daughter. Despite her unique appearance, Scarlett's needs were those of any infant: warmth, food, and comfort. Fluttershy learned to navigate the challenges of motherhood, her patience tested but never breaking.

Luckily, Niffty proved to be an invaluable help. The energetic little demon eagerly stepped in whenever Fluttershy's exhaustion became too overwhelming. Many times, Fluttershy would wake from a much-needed nap to find Niffty diligently taking care of Scarlett - rocking the crib or preparing a bottle with her single eye alert and watchful. Though initially hesitant about having a demon around her precious child, Fluttershy grew to appreciate Niffty's tireless assistance and unwavering enthusiasm as "Auntie Niffty."

However, Alastor seemed to disappear a few days after Scarlett's birth, claiming he had pressing matters to attend to. Fluttershy couldn't help but fear that the Radio Demon had abandoned her and their child. But, to her surprise and relief, he returned a month later. Fluttershy couldn't ignore the paleness in his usually vibrant appearance or the fact that he was limping and relying on his cane for support. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened during his absence.

As Scarlett quieted down upon his return, Alastor's strained smile did little to hide the true state of his condition. Fluttershy's heart raced with concern as she approached him, cradling Scarlett close in her arms.

"Alastor! What happened to you?" Her voice was filled with worry and fear.

Alastor tried to brush off her concern with a nonchalant wave of his hand. "Nothing to worry about, my dear," he said, but his usually booming voice sounded weak and tired. "Just a small... disagreement with some old acquaintances. Nothing that won't heal in time."

Fluttershy's eyes narrowed as she saw through his façade. "You call this a disagreement?!" she snapped, careful not to upset Scarlett again.

The corners of Alastor's mouth twitched at her uncharacteristic outburst. His grin faltered for just a moment before returning, though it lacked its usual charm. "My dear, I assure you—" he started to say.

"No," Fluttershy interrupted, her voice soft yet firm. "No more assurances, Alastor. I need the truth. What really happened?"

With a deep sigh, Alastor shifted his weight onto his cane, his form leaning heavily against it. "The truth is... what I do during my own time is my business and mine alone," he stated firmly.

Fluttershy's expression hardened, surprising Alastor with her sternness. "That's not good enough," she spoke through gritted teeth. "You better tell me what happened, or else."

Alastor's eyebrows raised in amusement, a small grin tugging at the corners of his lips despite his weakened state. "Or else what, my dear?" he questioned playfully. "I must say, this assertive side of you is quite... intriguing."

But before Fluttershy could respond, a sudden green collar appeared around her neck, its chain tightly wrapped around her throat. She gasped for air as she struggled to remove it.

"But let's not forget," Alastor's voice cut through the air, causing the collar and chain to vanish in an instant. "You have no grounds to threaten me," he taunted with a smirk. "Especially when I possess everything you have, per our previous deal."

Despite feeling slightly unnerved by Alastor's power, Fluttershy held her ground and stared him down.

"Or else..." she began, her voice firm and unwavering. "I'll forbid you from seeing Scarlett!"

A sinister chuckle echoed around them as Niffty joined in on their conversation. "Like you could ever stop Alastor from doing whatever he wanted," she laughed mockingly

Alastor's grin twisted into a sneer, his eyes narrowing into icy slits at Fluttershy's bold declaration. He turned to Niffty, then back to the pegasus who held their child tightly in her arms.

"My dear Fluttershy," Alastor's voice dripped with malice, "do not forget our arrangement so easily. Your newfound courage is commendable, but it does not change the fact that I hold all the power here."

Fluttershy's resolve faltered under Alastor's intense gaze, but she steeled herself and stood firm. "I...I understand that. But Scarlett needs stability. She deserves a father who is present, not one who disappears for weeks on end and returns injured."

Niffty flitted anxiously between them, her single eye darting back and forth. "Oh dear, oh my! Such drama! But honestly Fluttershy, you should know better than to try and control the infamous Radio Demon."

Alastor raised a hand, silencing Niffty with a flick of his fingers. His expression softened slightly as he looked at Scarlett, whose wide crimson eyes watched the exchange with curious innocence.

"Perhaps," Alastor spoke slowly, carefully choosing his words, "we can come to a new understanding. For Scarlett's sake."

Fluttershy blinked in surprise, her determination giving way to shock. "You...you mean that?"

Alastor nodded, the tip of his polished cane tapping rhythmically against the ground. A sly smile played at the corners of his lips as he spoke. "I propose a compromise, my dear Fluttershy. I will be more... forthcoming about my activities, particularly those that concern Scarlett's safety. In return, you will not attempt to restrict my involvement in her life. Does that seem fair?"

Fluttershy furrowed her brow in thought, her delicate fingers playing with a strand of her pink mane. After a moment, she nodded slowly. "Alright... I can agree to that. As long as you promise to be honest with me about things that affect Scarlett."

Alastor's grin widened, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "Excellent." His tone turned serious as he continued, his blue eyes glinting with determination. "Now, as for what transpired during my absence..." He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I had an encounter with Daybreaker's Sun Knights."

"The Sun Knights?” Fluttershy gasped, her hand instinctively tightening around Scarlett's small frame protectively. “But why would they come after you?"

“Every year," Alastor replied, his voice dripping with disdain and anger towards Daybreaker, "she sends her loyal Knights down from Canterlot for the sake of completing their mission. Killing and destroying any and all trace of my so-called Corruption."

Fluttershy's eyes widened in shock and horror at the ruthless actions of the Sun Knights. She held Scarlett closer to her chest, her heart racing with fear and worry. "Did they... do they know about Scarlett?"

“They don’t," Alastor reassured the pegasus mare with a determined nod. “From now on, around this time of year, I will venture far from your home and draw the Sun Knights away." His gaze flicked to Scarlett, his expression softening. "I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy nodded, understanding deepening in her eyes. "And you'll come back... injured."

Alastor shrugged, his nonchalant demeanor betraying the gravity of the situation. "No plan is without its drawbacks, my dear."

"Alastor..." Fluttershy's voice broke. She moved closer, her wings rustling softly. "Promise me you won't... you won't..."

The usually loquacious showman fell silent, his piercing crimson eyes fixated on Fluttershy and the small foal cradled in her arms. A rare tenderness softened his usually bombastic demeanor. "I give you my word, my dear," he spoke softly. "I will always return to you and Scarlett, no matter what challenges may arise."

True to his promise, Alastor made sure to keep in regular communication with Fluttershy, sharing updates on his whereabouts and activities. The vulnerability he showed was a new experience for him, but one he gladly embraced for the well-being of Scarlett and the peace of mind it brought Fluttershy.


As the day approached for Daybreaker's Knights to descend from Canterlot, Alastor would take his leave, bidding farewell to Fluttershy and Scarlett before setting off on his journey, always making sure to assure them of his eventual return.

With a violent flash of radio static, Alastor suddenly appeared in their shared cottage, his usual flamboyant entrance replaced by a stumbling and unsteady gait. The crackling radio waves that usually accompanied his arrival were weak and fading, like a poorly tuned station. Fluttershy, who had been anxiously pacing the living room floor, froze at the sight of him.

"Alastor!" she gasped, rushing to his side. Her wings trembled with worry as she took in his haggard and disheveled appearance.

The Radio Demon struggled to maintain his trademark charm and grin, but it was a feeble effort compared to his usual exuberance. "My dear," he wheezed, trying to downplay his condition. "I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long."

Fluttershy's normally gentle eyes widened in shock as she noticed the dark stains spreading on his pinstriped suit. "You're bleeding!" she exclaimed, her voice shaking with fear.

Alastor waved off her concern, but the gesture lacked its usual flourish. "Just a scratch, my dear. A little rest and I'll be good as new—" His words were cut off as he collapsed against the wall, sliding down slowly.

"That's enough," Fluttershy said, her voice unusually stern. She quickly knelt beside him, supporting his shoulders with her gentle arms. "We're going to the hospital right now."

Alastor's eyes widened in genuine fear for once. "No, no, that won't be necessary," he protested weakly. "A demon seeking mortal medical attention? It's preposterous—"

"Please," Fluttershy interrupted, tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't bear to see you suffer anymore. You promised you would always come back to us, but...but what if next time you can't?"

"I am a demon of my word," Alastor whispered, his voice barely audible over the static. "My word is my bond. And I will always keep it, no matter what."


One year had passed, but there was no denying the oppressive heat of the Vanhoover streets. The sun beat down relentlessly, as if it were determined to scorch every inch of the city. Alastor, the infamous Radio Demon, stood alone at an intersection, his tall form casting a long shadow across the cracked pavement. His perpetually grinning face was etched with determination as he scanned the buildings for any signs of movement.

The demon's keen ears picked up on the distant sound of hoofbeats, signaling the arrival of his enemies. He tightened his grip on his microphone staff, feeling its power hum in his hands. His thoughts turned to Fluttershy and little Scarlett, safely tucked away in their cottage far from this place. The memory of his promise to protect them echoed in his mind: "I am a demon of my word. My word is my bond. So no matter what, I will always keep my word." He would do whatever it takes to keep that promise, even if it meant facing these foes head on.

The deafening clamor of armored hooves echoed through the deserted streets, heralding the arrival of Daybreaker's Sun Knights. Their golden armor gleamed blindingly in the harsh sunlight, their cold eyes peering out from narrow slits in their helmets with an unnatural fervor.

Alastor's smirk widened into a manic grin as he watched them approach. "Well, well!" his voice rang out, distorted like an old radio broadcast. "If it isn't Daybreaker's obedient little soldiers! I was afraid you'd forgotten to RSVP to my little party."

Shining Armor, leading the pack with a blazing sun emblem emblazoned on his chest plate, stepped forward and growled in a voice warped by magic and metal. "Radio Demon," he snarled. "Your reign of terror ends today. Surrender now and perhaps Daybreaker will offer you a swift death."

Alastor threw his head back and laughed, his voice echoing unnaturally through the empty streets. "Surrender? Oh dear, I'm afraid you've misunderstood the whole purpose of this gathering." His eyes glowed with a fiery red as shadows began to writhe at his feet. "I have no intention of surrendering. I am here to make a statement."

With a dramatic flourish of his microphone, Alastor's voice boomed out, carried on waves of crackling static that reached every corner of Equestria. "Listen closely, citizens! Today, you will bear witness to a spectacle unlike any other – a battle between two opposing forces: the tyrannical regime of oppressive order versus the untamable chaos of freedom!"

The Sun Knights charged forward, their horns alight with blazing solar magic. But Alastor was prepared, his shadows surging to meet them in a deadly dance of opposing forces. Tentacles of darkness clashed against beams of searing light, the air crackling with magic and static as the two powerful enemies faced off.

With a flourish of his microphone, the Radio Demon summoned a tidal wave of shadow tentacles that lashed out at the charging knights. They twisted and writhed like living serpents, seeking to ensnare and destroy.

Two of the knights were caught off guard by the sudden ferocity of the attack, their bodies ensnared and lifted into the air by Alastor's dark tendrils. As the shadows squeezed tighter and tighter, their golden armor began to creak under the immense pressure, cutting off their oxygen supply and causing blood to spurt through the gaps in their helmets. With a sadistic flick of his wrist, Alastor hurled them towards the nearby buildings with bone-crushing force.

Their bodies collided with the solid structures, creating deep cracks and sending chunks of debris flying in all directions. The walls were splattered with their blood as their lifeless forms slid down and landed on the ground below, surrounded by a pool of red. Despite the chaos and destruction around them, Alastor only grinned wider, reveling in the thrill of battle and inflicting pain upon his enemies.

Shining Armor and his remaining knights could only watch helplessly as their comrades met a brutal end at the hands of their enemy's dark powers.

"Is this truly the best Daybreaker's Knights has to offer?" Alastor's mocking voice echoed through the battlefield, taunting his opponents.

Shining Armor's jaw clenched as he summoned his remaining knights to form a defensive triangle around their enemy. "Formation Delta!" he bellowed, his horn glowing with intense solar magic.

The knights moved with precision and grace, each beam of light converging on Alastor from a different direction. His shadows rose in a feeble attempt to defend him, but the blinding light was too much. With a scream of agony, Alastor felt the searing heat tear through his left shoulder, burning through fabric and flesh. He stumbled back, his grin faltering for just a moment before he regained his composure.

"A lucky hit," he sneered, gritting his teeth against the pain. "But the show must go on!"

Alastor waved his microphone and summoned a swarm of twisted creatures with sharp antlers and beaks resembling a twisted mix of deer and birds. They swooped down upon the knights, tearing through their golden armor with vicious precision. The air was filled with the screams of wounded soldiers and the sickening smell of burning flesh."

One of the brave knights fell, unable to handle the overwhelming number of shadow birds attacking him. His final scream echoed through the empty, smoke-filled streets. The remaining knights fought with all their might, their swords cutting through the darkness and bones of their attackers. Another knight was taken down, his helmet ripped off by the shadow creatures, exposing a look of terror and confusion before he was impaled by a deer's antlers.

Despite the chaos and loss of his comrades, Shining Armor remained steadfast. He used his powerful horn to create a barrier around himself and the few remaining knights. "Your tricks won't save you, demon," he snarled.

Alastor let out a strained chuckle in response. "Tricks? My dear Shining Armor, you underestimate me. This is art!"

As Alastor prepared for his next move, Shining Armor surprised him by dropping his shield and unleashing a concentrated beam of solar magic. The Radio Demon twisted to dodge it, but the beam still grazed his right leg, burning through his pinstripe trousers and scorching his skin.

Alastor stumbled back, struggling to stay on his feet. The constant static that surrounded him wavered, betraying his pain.

Feeling confident from his successful attack, Shining Armor pressed on. "You don't seem so sure of yourself now," he taunted

Despite his injuries, Alastor maintained a broad grin. "On the contrary, my enlightened friend," he responded with confidence, standing tall. "I'm just getting started. And don't forget, dear listeners," he reminded them, his voice carrying across all of Equestria, "the greatest performances often require some... sacrifice."

As Alastor's words reverberated throughout Equestria, an otherworldly energy began to pulsate around him. The constant static hum that always surrounded him grew louder and louder, becoming a deafening roar that shook the very ground beneath their hooves.

Suddenly, the silhouette of Alastor began to shift and transform. His figure appeared to elongate and contort, his garments transforming into tattered wings and his face taking on monstrous features.

Shining Armor instinctively took a step back, his eyes widening in shock. "What in Daybreaker's name...?"

Alastor's grin stretched impossibly wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth that glinted menacingly in the harsh sunlight. His voice deepened and distorted with each word, sending shivers down the spines of all who heard it. "Oh, my dear captain," he chuckled, a sickening glee in his tone, "you're about to witness something truly…e̡͟n̡t́e͡r̨t̷͜a̸i̶n͟į͢n͟͟g̵͡."

With a guttural growl, Alastor's form began to shift and twist. His once-slender frame bulged with muscles until he resembled a hulking monstrosity. Bones cracked and snapped as they elongated, creating a grotesque display of contorting limbs. His antlers grew larger and more intricate, resembling a twisted crown atop his head.

But it was his eyes that were truly terrifying. Once unnerving enough on their own, they now blazed like twin infernos, casting an eerie red glow over the battlefield. As if fueled by some demonic power, Alastor's body continued to swell until he towered over the buildings of Vanhoover. His suit, once elegant and refined, tore and reformed into a nightmarish amalgamation of fabric and shadow.

As the transformation completed, Alastor stood before the Sun Knights as a colossal demon, his form a twisted mockery of his former self. He loomed over the city like a dark omen, his very presence casting a shadow over everything in its wake. The Sun Knights could not help but feel overwhelmed by fear and awe at the sight before them. This was no longer just Alastor - he was something else entirely.

"N̦̟o̺͓͍̳w͕͚ ́͠t͈̹h̵̛e҉̭n͡ͅ!" Alastor's voice boomed, the sound reverberating through the very bones of everypony present, "s̢͘ą̼l̸͎l̶ ̥we҉̠ ͜c̻o͘nt̶i͇͙nṳe ̴o̩u̬ŕ p̀erformánce?"

Shining Armor, to his credit, stood his ground, not a single ounce of fear was evident in his eyes. "Knights!" he called out, his voice steady, "Formation Omega! We hold the line, no matter what!"

The Sun Knights scrambled to regroup, their golden armor looking pitifully small against the towering form of the demon before them. Their horns glowed with an otherworldly light as they prepared for what might be their final stand.

Alastor's demonic laughter echoed across Vanhoover as he raised his massive, clawed hands. "L̶͓͕̗ͅͅe̩͍̻͖̰t̹̪͢ͅ ̧͇̬̻̮̩̮͙͘t͠͏̻̱͕̗̭h̹͔̜̀͠e̜͠͝ ̢͔̯̝͚̫s̹͈͈̟̘̭̻h͢͏̳͉͈̩̰͇͓͕ơ̜̠̗̳̥͔̳̼ẃ̫ ̤̟͚̻͚͇́b̵͎̩͇̘͓̼̙͝é̗g̤͉̹͙͓̙̞͈i̭̜̰͖͓̮̬͖n͖̦̼̲͉!" he roared, his voice a cacophony of distorted frequencies.

With lightning-fast speed, Alastor brought his claws down upon the formation of Sun Knights. The ground shook with the impact, concrete shattering and crumbling under the force of the blow. Several knights, caught directly under his massive hand, were slammed into the street, their golden armor no match for the crushing strength of the demon. Blood sprayed across the streets as bodies were crushed under Alastor's relentless assault.

Shining Armor's voice pierced through the chaos, commanding and urgent. "Disperse and reform! Do not let him trap us!"

But Alastor was one step ahead. His shadowy tendrils lashed out with ferocious speed, slicing through the air with deadly precision. Helpless knights were caught in their grasp, their bodies flung into buildings with a force that could shatter bones like twigs. The structures themselves trembled at the impact, their windows exploding into deadly shards that rained down like a deadly hailstorm.

Yet, the Sun Knights refused to back down. As Alastor prepared for another strike, Shining Armor's horn erupted with blinding light. "Attack now! Focus your magic!"

In an instant, concentrated beams of pure energy shot forth from every remaining knight's horn. They converged on Alastor, striking him from all angles with unrelenting force. The demon's eyes widened in shock and pain as his shadowy form was seared by the intense magic.

He let out a blood-curdling roar, the sound reverberating throughout the city as his form flickered and faltered under the onslaught. Alastor tried to hide his agony behind his infamous grin, but it was clear that he was suffering greatly. Wherever the beams struck, chunks of his shadowy flesh sizzled and burned, leaving gaping wounds that oozed dark liquid and revealed his true demonic nature. He stumbled backwards, his confident façade crumbling as he struggled to stay standing under the relentless barrage of magic.

Shining Armor's battle cry echoed through the air as he urged his knights forward. "Don't hold back! Strike his joints and head with all your might!"

The knights charged in unison, swords held high with glowing runes etched along the blades. They moved with a deadly precision, a well-oiled machine of violence and destruction.

In a flash of steel and magic, the Sun Knights descended upon Alastor, their strikes calculated and devastating. The battlefield filled with the sound of clashing metal and the sickening sizzle of demonic flesh being burned by enchanted blades. Alastor's roars of pain only fueled their determination.

The first knight struck at Alastor's ankle, cleaving through it with a powerful blow. The demon stumbled, momentarily vulnerable. Two more knights leapt onto Alastor's chest, carving deep gashes into his massive form before landing gracefully on the ground.

"Y̶o̴u͠ ͘dare̡ t̸ò hurt m̡e?!" Alastor bellowed in disbelief and rage. He swung his clawed hand in a desperate attempt to ward off his attackers, but his movements were sluggish and ineffective.

Another knight darted in, plunging his rune-blade deep into Alastor's side. The sword glowed brightly as if fed by the demon's agony. With a howl of pain, Alastor's shadowy substance began to dissipate where the blade struck.

"Keep going!" Shining Armor commanded, channeling his own magical energy to join the assault. "We have him on the ropes!"

The knights intensified their attack, their blades expertly weaving around Alastor in a deadly dance. Each strike left behind deep gashes that oozed dark, smoky blood. Slowly but surely, they wore down the once-powerful demon. Alastor's massive form began to flicker and waver, like a dying flame. He stumbled backwards, crashing into a nearby building with a thunderous impact that sent debris flying.

"N-no..." Alastor gasped, his booming voice now weak and strained.

Before their very eyes, the giant demon began to shrink and crumble. It was a painful and gruesome sight as his body contorted and shriveled, returning to its original shape and size. Within moments, Alastor appeared before them in his normal form, battered and bleeding. His suit was torn and disheveled, a far cry from his usually immaculate appearance. He struggled to stand upright, swaying on his feet.

Despite his desperate state, Alastor lifted his head. His eyes still glowed with defiant red light as he locked gazes with Shining Armor. The Radio Demon's permanent grin now contorted into a grimace of pain and fury. He fixed a glare on the captain of the Sun Knights, a mix of hatred and begrudging respect shining through.

"Nicely played... Captain," Alastor croaked, his voice hoarse and lacking its usual showmanship. "But don't think for a second... that this is the end. The show must always go on."

Shining Armor's expression remained stoic as he drove his sword into the demon's shoulder with a resounding thrust. Alastor's eyes widened in shock and pain as he was violently hurled back into the crumbling debris of the building, causing it to collapse even further.

Gasping for air, Alastor weakly grasps the sword lodged in his body, dark smoke billowing from his fingers as he futilely tries to remove it. Shining Armor stands tall, his runic blade emanating an intense aura of power. He gazes down at the demon with a fierce determination in his eyes.

"It ends now, Alastor," Shining Armor declares, his voice booming with authority. "Surrender and face Daybreaker's justice with whatever shred of honor you have left."

Alastor lets out a guttural laugh that resonates through the destroyed streets and buildings. "It will never be over," he snarls, spitting blood as he speaks. "Neither you nor Daybreaker can silence the Radio Demon's voice."

Unwavering, Shining Armor raises his sword once more, its radiant light illuminating the devastation surrounding them. He locks eyes with Alastor, unyielding and unafraid. "Your voice means nothing if there's no one left to hear it," he declares, ready to end this battle once and for all

The captain of the Sun Knight showed no mercy as he drove his sword deep into the demon's gut, the force of the blow propelling Alastor further into the shattered debris of the building. Shining Armor twisted the blade with a savage glee, causing Alastor to writhe and scream in agony.

"You should have joined the Program long ago, Alastor," Shining Armor taunted, driving the blade even deeper into the demon's flesh. "Radio is fucking dead and gone."

Despite his pain, Alastor's laughter rang out once again, but this time it was laced with a delirious madness. "I must disagree with you, Captain," he spat.

In a flash of movement, Alastor's cane appeared in his hand, catching Shining Armor off guard. With a swift and calculated swing, he struck the Sun Knight in the chest with enough force to send him flying back. The impact caused Shining Armor to lose his grip on his sword, which remained embedded in Alastor's body.

"The airwaves may have changed, but radio..." Alastor groaned as he retreated into the safety of his shadow. "Radio is immortal."

And with that final declaration, Alastor disappeared from sight. Shining Armor lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for air as he struggled to regain his senses. He could hear panicked voices and see frightened ponies emerging from the wreckage around him.

Anger boiled within him as he struggled to his feet, casting a venomous glare at the malicious demon.

“Captain,” one of the surviving Sun Knights approached, standing before the unicorn. “Your orders, Sir?”

The Captain of the Knights of the Sun wasted no time in issuing his next commands. “Everypony here has been corrupted by Alastor’s dark touch,” Shining Armor declared, his eyes scanning the crowd with haunted intensity. “We must cleanse this land of his lingering influence. Show no mercy and leave no pony alive.” His voice was steely and resolute, determined to eradicate any trace of evil from their midst.

"Understood, sir!" The soldier saluted, as the others did the same. With a renewed sense of purpose, they dispersed into the crowd that had gathered at the site of Alastor's defeat.

Shining Armor remained where he stood, his chest heaving as he tried to steady his breathing. His gaze fixed on the spot where Alastor had disappeared, his expression hardening.

"You might have escaped this time, Demon," Shining Armor muttered under his breath, "But I swear on the Sun Goddess herself that one way or another, your show will be cancelled."

A bloodcurdling scream pierced through the air, followed by another and another, creating a symphony of terror and surprise. The Sun Knights carried out their captain's ruthless orders without hesitation. Panic and chaos erupted as ponies desperately tried to flee or fight back, but there was no escaping the relentless knights. Their glistening armor radiated with blinding light as they advanced, their swords glinting like fiery stars in the morning sun. A mare begged for mercy, but her words were drowned out by the clashing of metal and deafening screams.

In the midst of chaos, a young colt ran towards Shining Armor and clung to his armor with trembling hands, begging for his life. "Captain Armor, please! I swear, I am not corrupted!"

Shining's expression twisted into one of disgust as he raised his fist and struck the colt with a sharp clang of metal against flesh. "Get off me!" he snarled, delivering another brutal blow that sent the innocent pony crashing to the ground.

Rage consumed Shining as he grabbed the colt by his mane and mercilessly slammed his face against the nearest wall. The sound of impact drowned out the colt's cries of pain.

"You filthy little maggot!" Shining roared, each word punctuated by a violent slam into the unyielding wall. "Don't you dare touch me with your tainted hands!"

The Stallion continued his savage assault until the colt's pleas faded into silence and his body hung limp. Tossing aside the lifeless form, Shining Armor wiped sweat from his brow and looked over his shoulder at the ongoing massacre. His knights followed through on their orders with ruthless efficiency.

"We're withdrawing!" Shining bellowed over the chaos as he and his troops began to fall back from Vanhoover. "Back to Canterlot!"

Shining Armor let out a powerful magic-enhanced whistle, and a fleet of golden chariots pulled by fierce eagles appeared. The Sun Knight hopped into one of the chariots but then remembered that he had left his sword behind. He turned to Golden Ray, one of the young knights under his command.

"Golden Ray," Shining Armor's voice boomed over the sounds of destruction. "Retrieve my sword! And if you happen to come across the Radio Demon, eliminate him once and for all!"

"Yes, Captain!" Golden Ray saluted and set off to find his captain's sword using a tracking spell embedded in its hilt.


After escaping Vanhoover in a hurry, it took Alastor five days to reach the safety of the Everfree Forest. The Radio Demon stumbled through the thick brush, still carrying Shining Armor's sword embedded in his abdomen. He wasn't foolish enough to believe he could survive this wound; pulling out the blade would only hasten his demise. He needed a way to heal and fast.

Blood dripped from his wounds, staining the forest floor with each unsteady step he took. Alastor's strength was rapidly depleting, his once sharp eyes now dulled by pain and exhaustion. He had been wandering aimlessly for who knows how long.

"How long has it been?" Alastor gasped, his voice distorted. "Since I've been this close to death?"

His words echoed through the silent forest, a haunting symphony of agony and despair that was swallowed by the looming trees. Each step deeper into the dense foliage felt like a battle against the encroaching darkness at the edge of his vision.

Heaving breaths racked his body and a metallic taste filled his mouth. Pain coursed through every inch of him, but Alastor pushed on until his legs gave out beneath him and he collapsed onto the damp earth. His breathing became shallow, the effort of moving causing unbearable waves of pain to pulse through his weakened body.

A raspy voice suddenly broke the silence from the shadows. "Oh wow, what is this?" it croaked. "How are you still breathing with a blade that will surely send you to the abyss?"

Alastor's eyes narrowed as he scanned the darkness. "If you value your life...you will reveal yourself," he hissed. "I am in no mood for shady characters."

A tall figure emerged from the shadows, her face hidden by the hood of her cloak. "No need for alarm," she said calmly. "I mean no harm."

As she lowered her hood, Alastor could see that she was a Zebra mare with a striking mohawk of black and white stripes. Her ears were adorned with delicate gold hoop earrings, adding a touch of elegance to her otherwise wild appearance. Her kind eyes held a depth of wisdom that spoke of years of experience. She wore a fur-lined shawl draped around her neck and upper chest, made from the softest brown fur Alastor had ever seen. The garment wrap revealed much of her ample cleavage, while another pelt tied around her waist covered her lower body down to her knees. Golden rings glittered on both wrists and around her neck, adding to the air of mystery surrounding her. In one hand, she held a wooden walking stick with a curved top resembling a shepherd's crook, showing off her strength and agility despite her age.

"I am Zecora," the creature said, her voice steady but not without a hint of curiosity. "I see you need some aid, I can provide it at no trade."

“No trade?” Alastor scoffed and coughed up blood while leaning on a tree. “You expect me to believe that? There’s always something to be expected in return. Besides, this is our very first encounter. What motive could you, a stranger, possibly have to aid someone like me? Who, by the way is not whom you expect.”

"In a world so bleak and grim, often the only kindness is on a whim," Zecora offered a small smile, moving closer to Alastor. "And from your words alone, I can tell there's much pain you've known."

"Enough talk, zebra," Alastor's voice was harsh and raspy, but underlying it was a tone of desperation. "Leave me be, before I kill you”

"But death's threat, you cannot fulfill," Zecora replied calmly, "Not in your current state, you're ill."

Ignoring his icy glare, the zebra began to rummage through her satchel. She pulled out a small clay jar filled with a thick green paste.

"Without my aid, you will surely die in vain," Zecora said in her rhyming tone, setting the jar at Alastor's side. "This balm will soothe your pain."

“Then make me a deal,” Alastor said, smiling as much as he could. “You give me aid, and I shall repay you in any way I can.” Alastor held out his blood-soaked hand.

Zecora merely pushed the bloodied hand aside. "No need for blood oaths or binding deals," Zecora said, moving past the demon. "Charity does not require wheels."

After the Zebra disappeared, Alastor grabbed the small clay jar and slowly got to his feet. He made his way towards Fluttershy's cottage, but as he moved, his vision blurred until he couldn't walk any further. The Radio Demon gave into his injuries and collapsed onto the forest floor. Everything started spinning around him, the trees blending into a chaotic mix of green and brown. The pain was overwhelming, like flames engulfing him from within. His heartbeat grew slower by the second, sounding like a distant drum in his ears.

"This is it..." Alastor thought, accepting that death was near. "Not with a bang, but with a whimper..."

His mind drifted to thoughts of Fluttershy and their daughter. He had never been one for sentimentality, but the idea of not seeing them again brought him more pain than any physical wound ever could. He pictured Fluttershy's gentle smile, her soothing voice, and the soft touch of her hand. He thought of his daughter with her piercing crimson eyes, so similar to his own, filled with an innocent curiosity that he always found endearing.

As the darkness closed in on him, he heard a faint rustling in the bushes nearby. Something small and light stepped on him, its tiny paws pressing into his injured side. Alastor strained his neck to see and saw a tiny rabbit sniffing at him curiously before hopping off.

"Fluttershy...Scarlett...I'm sorry," Alastor whispered as his consciousness slipped away. "I have to...break my promise."


Alastor's eyes slowly flickered open, his surroundings appearing as a blur of light and shadows. Gradually, his vision sharpened and he found himself gazing up at a wooden ceiling, illuminated by the gentle glow of candle flames. A tender touch on his arm caught his attention.

Sitting at the edge of the bed was Fluttershy, her features soft but filled with worry and exhaustion. Her usually neat mane was slightly disheveled, strands of hair falling out of place as she leaned forward. Instead of meeting Alastor's gaze, her eyes were fixed on a point over his shoulder. It was evident that she was angry, her body tense with restrained emotion. But even in her anger, there was a sense of compassion in Fluttershy's actions towards Alastor.

"Fluttershy?" Alastor said weakly.

"Alastor," Fluttershy's voice was stern as she tied off a thread before applying the ointment given to her by Zecora.

Alastor's attempt at humor was evident in his murmured words, "You're quite skilled with that, my dear."

He observed as she hesitated, her fingers hovering over the healing balm before meeting his gaze. Her eyes were swollen and red, a telltale sign of recent tears. A moment passed before she broke the silence.

Fluttershy firmly applied the balm to the freshly stitched wound, causing a pained hiss from the demon. "My animals often get hurt," she explained with a hint of annoyance in her tone. "I have experience in taking care of them."

Alastor's body convulsed in agonizing pain, his vision blurring as he let out a guttural cry. "Gentle?" he gasped, feeling the pressure on his wound intensify with each passing second.

"With you, gentle is not an option," Fluttershy snapped back as cold as a glacier.

There was a tense pause before Fluttershy locked eyes with Alastor, her gaze burning with anger and worry.

"What happened?" she demanded.

Alastor's voice was barely a whisper as he explained through gritted teeth, "I had a little trouble dealing with Daybreaker's Sun Knights."

"A LITTLE?! YOU'RE BLEEDING OUT ON MY BED AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!" Fluttershy's usually soft voice now rang out like thunder. She grabbed the Sword stained with Alastor's blood and brandished it towards him. "DO YOU SEE THIS? I HAD TO PULL A SWORD OUT OF YOUR FUCKING STOMACH! THIS IS NOT 'A LITTLE' TROUBLE!"

Alastor was taken aback by her sudden outburst. He had never seen her raise her voice before, let alone swear. The normally calm and collected Fluttershy was now trembling with anger and fear. It was clear that she was deeply worried for him. Her words pierced his heart like daggers, reminding him of the danger he had put himself in to protect her.

"Fl-," he tried to speak but was cut off by Fluttershy's forceful words.

"No!" she interrupted. "This is where you listen to me for once, Alastor."

Alastor fell silent, his eyes softening as he prepared himself for what Fluttershy was about to say. Her hand was trembling badly now, the Sword shaking in her grasp as her anger melted into worry.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded with him, "You can't keep risking your life like this, Alastor! You mean too much to me."

Her voice cracked on the last word, and she turned away, unable to meet his gaze. The room was quiet once again, save for Fluttershy's quiet weeping and the gentle rustling of leaves outside.

"Please be careful with your words, Fluttershy," Alastor responded. "Saying that I mean something to you should not be taken lightly, especially given my nature and who I am."

"I don't care," Fluttershy declared fiercely. "You saved me from a life of torment, paid off my contract, and helped me break free from addiction. You're the father of our child...and I love you, Alastor."

With determination in her heart, Fluttershy leaned closer to the demon and pressed her lips against his. Their kiss was intense, igniting their souls and causing the Sword to fall to the ground with a loud clang, forgotten in the heat of their passion.

They pulled away after a moment, gasping for air, but their eyes remained locked in a tender gaze. Fluttershy's cheeks were stained with tears, but her eyes shone with unwavering love and devotion.

Alastor's heart raced as he tried to gather his thoughts, but before he could speak another word, a deafening crash shattered the air.

The sound of glass breaking filled the room, and both Alastor and Fluttershy turned towards the source in an instant. Fear flashed across Fluttershy's face, her eyes wide with terror as she clutched onto Alastor's arm for support.

"Scarlett!" Her panicked scream echoed through the room as Niffty burst in, blood dripping from a deep gash on her arm. She held the young filly tightly in her arms, shielding her from any danger.

"We have company, Al," Niffty spat out between gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with anger and fear.

But it was too late. The golden armored Sun Knight had already entered the room, his sword at the ready. With a swift movement, he swung his sword at Niffty's unprotected back, tearing through her flesh with a sickening crunch. Niffty fell to the ground with a pained cry, blood spilling out onto the floor.

Alastor's hand shook with unrestrained anger as he snatched up the fallen Sword, his blazing gaze fixed on the Sun Knight who dared to challenge him. Scarlett's desperate sobs echoed through the room as she watched her beloved protector fall, while Fluttershy frantically gathered her trembling daughter and retreated to a corner.

"Well well, look what we have here," Golden Ray sneered, strutting into the room after his lackey. "Not only have I found the notorious 'Demon Filly' Niffty, but also a wounded Radio Demon."

But as Scarlett's cries escalated, Golden Ray's patience wore thin. Until he saw her in her demonic form, that is.

"By Daybreaker's scorching Sun..." he gasped, his eyes widening in shock at the monstrous sight before him. "Is this...is this your vile offspring?"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter!" Fluttershy roared, her usually gentle voice now dripping with venomous rage.

"You corrupted whore!" Golden Ray's sword was poised to strike down Fluttershy. "You are responsible for the birth of demon spawn!"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on my girls!" Alastor roared, his voice lacking its usual static as he charged forward with his own sword ready.

In one swift motion, he drove his blade into Golden Ray's chest, piercing through his armor and plunging straight into his heart. The knight let out a gasp of shock and disbelief before stumbling backwards and dropping his weapon with a loud clatter.

"F-foul demon..." Golden Ray stuttered before collapsing to the ground in a lifeless heap.

Alastor stood in the aftermath, his chest heaving from the adrenaline still coursing through his veins. Scarlett clung to Fluttershy, her small frame wracked with sobs as she buried her face into the angel's shoulder. Niffty's body lay motionless on the ground, a pool of blood slowly spreading around her.

As Alastor glanced towards her, his heart pounded in his chest and he felt a wave of relief wash over him when Niffty spoke weakly.

"Don't... don't look at me like that," she croaked out, forcing a smile onto her blood-stained lips. "I'm not gone just yet."

The static in Alastor's voice returned as he shook his head, trying to shake off the overwhelming emotions that threatened to consume him. "You're a stubborn one, Niffty," he remarked.

"Always have been," she replied with a somber chuckle, coughing up more blood. "Always will be."

Alastor turned to Fluttershy and commanded, "Take Niffty to the hospital... and Scarlett, take her away from all this."

"But Alastor..." Fluttershy protested, worry etched onto her features.

"No arguments, my dear," Alastor cut her off firmly yet gently. "I need you to do this."

With a nod, Fluttershy helped Niffty to her feet and led her out of the room. Scarlett clung to them both, fear evident in her wide eyes.

"Don't worry, Scarlett," Fluttershy murmured softly as they hurried away.

Once he was alone again, Alastor narrowed his eyes and scanned the room. That wasn't him just now when he killed and shouted at the knight... it wasn't his voice. Rarely does the Radio Demon ever speak without static in his voice, and even rarer is it for him to kill someone with his own two hands.

"Who are you?" Alastor demanded, his voice laced with anger and suspicion. "You took control of my body, and I want to know why."

A voice echoed in Alastor's mind, a name he did not recognize. "My name is Charlie Jophiel," it spoke with a hint of irritation. "And that body of yours belongs to me."


Author's Note

Yes. YES. FUCK YES!!!
We've finally given birth to our Demon/Pony baby.
Me and my friends in The League took quite a while to decide the child's appearance. especially which features of which parent we take from. The horns while not from Alastor does tie in to her Demon blood which was Wolf Blood's idea.
Now I shall not be revealing Scarlett's powers just yet...and she will have powers. the only thing I will reveal is her ability to make deal like her father. That is all I shall give away.

And Can it Be. Charlie? Alastor's old self finally returning, What Could that Mean for the Radio Demon. Is He Dropping further into insanity or maybe he's finally regaining the Sanity he lost. Who Knows...You'll have to Stay Tuned until the next chapter.

Guess What? IT's Question Time BITCHES!!!

KnightOfZaku

Thanks for yet another awesome chapter!

So Niffty is finally back and she's going to be Fluttershy's nanny. Is her "Squeaky Clean" personality gone forever or are some remnants of it still buried in her subconscious?

Also, on a scale of 1 to 11. How stupid of an action will Rainbow take when she finds out about Fluttershy's deal with Alastor?

So you wrote two questions so let's tackle them in order.
Question 1: Technically. Squeaky Clean is the Original. so Unless the Elements are used on Niffty again Squeaky Clean is as good as Gone.
Question 2: This is Rainbow Dash we talkin bout. there is no 1 or 11. She'll jump start to a level 12 on the scale. and it may or may not involve a gun and gunfire.

MadhatterZack

Great to finally see an update to this great fic.

Seeing Nifty again was a treat and I love how you introduced her to the rest of the characters.

Always knew the Pink menace was gonna find out about Alastor's nature, seeing the Girls gather for the baby shower was cute as well as the gifts, how you wrote Dash was great. Great work indeed.

Question:
Is Shining still gonna be married to Candance or is the fact Daybreaker is incharge led to her not rising to Alacornhood?

Would be fun if she took on Rosie's role as a match maker, or a pimp.

Cadance Is still Married to Shining Armor and is still an alicorn, Besides that. I have no idea involving her. Though Making her like Rosie or a more evil version of Rosie does give me some ideas.

Okay that's all the Questions. ANd if you want to ask something go for it. I will always adress your questions right down here.

As Always, Stay Tuned Folks
