ANOTHER!?

It was close to midnight, Luna was watching her moon raise to it's highest point in the sky, when there was a disturbance. "Hmm?" Luna said to herself. She knew that some wild energy came off of the Everfree Forest but not in this magnitude.

She rushed to her sister's room and shouted "Wake up Tia!" Celestia was awoken as was the rest of the castle.

"Luna, what is it?" Celestia mumbled groggily.

"I felt something. It was some kind of energy and-" Luna was cut off by Celestia.

"Don't worry about it Luna it was probably something from the Everfree Forest." She mumbled out laying down on the bed again.

"Tia, you're wrong! It is much more powerful than that. It might be as strong as Twilight Sparkle." Luna said back. The elements, John, and Jane heard what they were saying and heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground hard.

"Well then let's get the Elements and the others so we can see if it poses a thre- Oomph." Celestia walked out of the door and ran into John both of them falling with Celestia on top of John in a rather suggestive position. They both blushed furiously and quickly got up. Celestia coughed and asked "Luna, where was it at exactly?"

"It was somewhere outside, but I'm positive that it is still on the castle grounds." Luna answered. Celestia quickly told the guards to follow them and rushed outside towards where the disturbance was.

A man wearing armor of old sat beside the pond in the castle gardens. The armor was chain mail with a black tunic. Even though he wasn't a knight he wore the armor, and his sword, like he was one his entire life. 'Now how the FUCK did I get here. I hope dad didn't send me to kill anybody. He's trying to get me to be more evil but I think that demon inside me is enough.' He thought.

'Come on, you know you love me.' The demonic voice in his head said smugly.

'Well slightly. You do make me more powerful and immortal though your so needy.' the man said with a smile hidden by his helmet.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hooves on stone. 'Great horses. They'll fear me when they see me like always. Having a demon in your head can suck. I can't even play with animals. Hell I had a dog, he bit me in the leg when you first possessed me, Ahrimar.'

'HEY THAT DOG HAD IT COMMING HE WAS GOING TO KILL US!!' The, now angry, demon Ahrimar said.

'Shut up and don't try to take over my body like last time.' The man said.

He looked towards where they were coming from and couldn't believe his eyes. In front of him were mythical creatures. He was slightly unnerved when there were only two humans and there were an army of horses. He got an idea and said "None shall pass." followed by laughter in his head from the demon. 'Please fall for it, please fall for it.'

"What?" the Male asked confused.

"None shall pass." he said again louder than before thinking his helmet muted the sound.

"I have no quarrel with you, but I must ask you to come with us." The male said.

The armored man just smiled and shouted "Then you shall die!" He rushed towards the male as he reached behind him to grab his great sword.

John and the others were, surprised to say the least. John reacted quickly retching a sword out of the guard's scabbard and blocked to blow just in time. There was a loud clang of metal on metal. John quickly did an overhand strike but the man in armor just raised his sword and blocked it with ease. The man did two overhand strike in succession followed by a horizontal swing to John's stomach. John jumped backward and the man lunged forward. John deflected and went for a horizontal strike at the head, but the man easily ducked under it. The man repeated two overhand strikes but the last one he was to slow to get up from his hunched position and John rammed to hilt into his helmet making a loud clang. The man rushed forward and did a downward stroke. John saw an opening and swung downward right onto his unprotected arm.

The arm came clean off. "Now stand aside and let us take you to the dungeons." John said.

'Don't heal my arm yet. I want to do this the right way.' The man said to the Ahrimar.

The demon giggled and said 'Don't you mean the left way since he cut off your right arm.'

'Shut up and let me do this.' He said before speak out loud, " Tis but a scratch." Trying to hold in laughter as disbelief crossed the man's face.

"A scratch! Your arm's off!" he shouted.

"No it isn't." The man said still trying to hold in laughter.

"Well whats that then!" He said, pointing his now bloody sword to the ground where his arm is.

The man looked down and saw his arm then said plainly, "I've had worse."

The butter yellow pegasus fell to the ground. Apparently she had fainted at the mention of worse.

They both ignored her and John shouted, "You lie!"

"C'mon you Panzy!" The man said before charging forward.

John easily stepped out of the way and hit his other arm with the sword, cutting it off and making to man drop his sword. "Victory is mine." John said.

The armored man just ran back up to him and round house kicked him in the face, sprawling him on the ground. "C'mon then!" The armored man shouted before kicking John while he was on the ground.

"What?!" John said in great confusion trying to get up.

"Have at you!" The man shouted before kicking him in the chest.

"Look you stupid bastard you don't have any arms left!" John said while he grabbed at the guards sword.

"Yes I have." He said while jumping on both legs.

"Look!" John insisted and the knight looked down at where his arms used to be.

"Just a flesh wound." He said smugly as he kicked John again.

"Look stop that!"

"Chicken, Chicken!"

"Look I'll have your leg!"

The guards, the Princess, The Elements, minus Fluttershy, and Jane watched in absolute amazement as he just called both of his arms being cut off a flesh wound.

When the armored man kicked John in the shin, John swung his sword at the leg that was rising up and cut it off as well. Now the knight was hopping on one leg.

"Right! I'll hurt you for that!" He said while hopping on one leg.

"You'll WHAT?!" John said in utter disbelief that the man could lose three limbs and still be going.

"Come here!" He shouted while hopping toward him.

"What are you going to do bleed on me?" John said annoyed.

"I'M INVINCIBLE!" The knight shouted headbutting John.

"Your crazy." John said.

"THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS!" He shouted before trying to headbutt him again. "HAVE AT YOU!"

John gave the man an annoyed look, then when the man jumped he rammed his sword into his other leg cutting it off effectively.

The man looked at both of his cut off legs and arms and said, "Alright. We'll call it a draw."

John just shook his head when he heard laughing coming from the man. He looked and saw a strange sight. The man was rolling on the floor laughing then he said out loud, "Alright Ahrimar heal me. I've had enough fun messing with them." Then, much to their surprise, new legs and arms shot out of where they were supposed to be, but they were skeletal.

"Um what's wrong with your arms and legs?" Twilight asked.

He looked at her and said "Talking horses? Impossible. Then again I am friends with Cerberus and I have mental conversations with a demon inside my head. So I shouldn't really say that's impossible.

Twilight's eyes lit up at the mention of a friend of Cerberus. When he answered her question, "My arms are like this because Ahrimar's healing ability sucks so it has do each layer of skin a day. First the bones then the muscles, that includes ligaments and tendons, on the second day. Finally the skin for the last day. Hurts like hell but it was worth it to see you look at me like I was a madman." He ended with a laugh.

"You said there was a demon inside you. Don't you want it out?" Twilight asked.

"Nah at first it was like hell had invaded my mind. You wanna see?" He asked with a devilish grin.

"Umm. Sure?" Twilight said.

"Perfect!" The man said and, with a snap of his fingers, he and the others in the area were teleported to his mindscape. "Welcome to my Mindscape! Please keep fingers, hands, legs, wings, horns, and other objects inside the ride at all times." A miniature roller-coaster appeared and the man sat in it. What they noticed though is that his helmet didn't follow him in so they could see his face.

He had thick brown hair to seemed to go into his eyes, which were a blood red color. He had a long scar running down the left eye and another along his right cheek.

They were taken out of there sight seeing by him saying, "You coming or not?" They got in and tracks started to appear out of thing air. Soon a beat of music followed.

(Recommended Eminem's Demon Inside)

"Yo, alright, yo.
I'm possessed by evil demons that torture me while I'm sleeping.
I'm dreaming of death and I'm hearing people screaming."

A blood curdling scream came from the depths of his mind.

"The devil's spirit's trapped inside of me and I want it out."

The next thing they knew they were going into a houses living room.

"I'm on the couch bleeding to death in a haunted house,

They saw him lying down with his wrists bleeding

"With both my wrists slit I'm lifted up in the air,"

The apparition of him was slowly lifted into the air and they saw his hands prying at his neck as if to stop someone from choking him.

"Suspended in animation like someone's holding me there,

I feel somebody's cold hands wrapping around my neck,

while I choke on my own blood that I swallow and drown to death.

But I found a breath and somehow slip the clutches nearly blacking out from dizziness and head rushes."

The apparition of him fell to the ground and stayed there for a bit before standing up and walking out the door into the hallway. They followed and gasped at what they saw. Bodies were strung everywhere, there bodies and faces mutilated beyond recognition.

"Tripping over OD'd body of dead lushes,

Bloodstains paint to plush carpet like red blushes

Doors open and close by themselves, books fly off shelves, curtains catch on fire and the house melts."

Doors in the hallways opened and closed in unison while the books flew at them trying to hit them. If it wasn't for the man that they were with some of the guards would have been smacked so hard they would have died. The curtains around them caught fire but the only affected was the man that brought them there.

"My skin blisters and sticks together like twin sisters,

the wind blows and shatters windows like ten twisters

caught a piece of shrapnel in the Adam's Apple."

Pieces of glass flew at them but they seemed to be magnetized to the man in front of them one of them went straight toward his throat, but Luna caught it, smiled and dropped it on the floor.

"Two cups if Holy water and I'm looking at them half full.

But as soon as I go to touch 'em they turn to red rum."

They saw two cups of water, which they assumed was the holy water. When the man in front reached for them they turned to this red liquid then it went silent but the picture stayed.

"It got silent, then all these voices said,"

His voice became deeper and raspy.

"'Come follow me into the Gates of Hell'

I heard 'em yell, 'Welcome to the Norman Bates Motel'

I ran the bell for service and I was greeted by his mother,

She was covered in dry blood head still dented by the shovel.

I said I needed a room so I could try to get some rest,

She gave me the keys to the best suite and a bag of cess.

And told me that's for starters, Satan'll be in to see me later.

To see if I'm interested in being partners."

They came to a stop just outside of the area they started. They were silent for a bit when the man spoke up, "So yeah that was my first night with a demon in my mind. Speaking of which where the fuck is he?" He thought about if for a moment and realization came across his face. "Shit!" he snapped his fingers and they returned to their own bodies they realized that the man was moving towards to Princesses.

He stopped suddenly and shouted "Damnit Ahrimar don't take my body while I am talking to people/ponies." Then to the ponies, "Terribly sorry about that, Ahrimar gets very excited when he's alone. Just be happy that I stopped him from trying to rape you."

The females eyes widened at that statement. They had an insane demon try to rape them. Luna snapped out of it quickly and asked a question that the man was dreading to answer. "What's your name?"

"My name I only use it when I trust someone very much." He said and nodded his head. "I'll give you a different name until one of you can be trusted and I have been near mind readers before so White horse stop trying to get into my mind. The last guy who did that was found dead. His fingers were cut off and shoved down his throat, his arms were wrapped around his neck and both of his legs were broken. If you don't want to end like that then don't enter my mind." He said leveling a glare at Celestia. She gulped and cut off her magic. "This is the name I am giving you. Call me Shaded." He said with a smile, but Luna saw something flash in his eye's. Well, two things actually. Guilt and sadness. She knew it well when she was shunned for being Nightmare Moon.

"Why do you look so sad about?" Pinkie Pie said.

"That is personal. I do not want to talk about it. Now I am going to find a place outside of this city to stay." He said as he walked out the wrong way.

"That way is to the castle." Luna called out to him.

He walked back, blushing, and said "I knew that." and walked towards the city.

Making his way out of the city he went towards a cave he saw while walking. "Alright I'll live here." He made snapped his fingers and one-story house appeared. The cave was still there except that it was behind the house and you could only get to it from the back door. The inside was small, but cozy. The kitchen was stocked with food, the bedroom was small, but it had a desk, paper across it with a small lamp, bookshelves filled with books, and some music Shaded liked to listen to.

The living room had a couch and two chairs. It was connected with the guest room which had the exact same thing as his bedroom. The backyard he willed it to a garden so he could grow herbs and other questionable things. 'Now all that I need is oil and I could destroy my enemies here.' He thought happily. He had an alchemy lab where he set up the needed oil. There was another room that practically shouted DO NOT ENTER. There was a cellar that was fully stocked with every weapon known to man and thousands upon thousands bullets. 'Okay prepare for Zombie Invasion. Check. Alchemy lab with questionable things. Check. Part three Don't try to trust anyone no matter what they do. We'll see.

With that he went up to his room and fell asleep instantly and said to Ahrimar in his mind "You better not do anything funny or else."

"Or else what? You can't kill me." Ahrimar said in an anything but innocent voice.

"Well I could remember the song we both hate." Shaded said with a cruel smile.

"You wouldn't DARE!" Ahrimar said shakily.

"Don't try me then." Shaded said in voice with finality.

With John and the others

"Well that was weird." John said. Looking around they saw that the blood puddles, arms, and legs were still there.

Fluttershy's shy voice spoke up, "Do you really think that he had worse than those wounds that you inflicted?"

"I don't know Fluttershy, maybe you could ask him tomorrow right now I'm going back to bed." John said in a tired voice. All of them nodded and made towards to doorway except for one.

"Luna are you coming?" Celestia asked.

"He didn't ask us for our names before he left and I want to make sure that he's alright." Luna said.

"Alright then Luna. Just be careful okay?" Celestia said before going back inside.

Luna nodded and she flew into the air, flying towards the direction Shaded went in. She was about a mile away from Canterlot when she heard a gut wrenching scream. It sounded like a wild animal with all of it's limbs cut off. She flew towards where she heard it and saw a cave and inside the cave was a house. She walked up to the door and opened it, again she heard the scream and it seemed to be coming down the hallway. When she opened to door it was coming from she was shocked to see Shaded writhing on the bed as if he was in great pain. She walked forward quickly and shook him, "Wake up Shaded. Wake up!" she shouted. His screams were getting worse by the second. She couldn't do anything. She decided to wait the night there to see if she could somehow wake him up. She shouted in his ear, she shook him furiously, she even dumped water on him, yet he wouldn't wake. Running out of ideas she muted to screaming and shouted again.

Shaded was awoken to sound of someone shouting in his ear. He jumped out of bed, turned around and got into a fighting position. He looked and saw that midnight blue unipeg or was it pegacorn he didn't remember. He dropped his fighting stance and stood up. "Was something wrong ...? He realized he didn't have her name, but she filled it in.

"Luna." She said.

"Alright then. Was something wrong Luna?" He asked.

"Well you were screaming in your sleep. Were you having a nightmare?

"No." He said, but she knew he was lying.

"You can tell me you know." Luna said.

"Sorry Luna. It's just something about my past. Now go home. Please?" He said. He was almost begging her to leave and Luna was starting to get suspicious, but she gave in.

"Alright then. Oh and I wanted to introduce you to my sister and the others. Since you told us your name it's just right to tell you all of ours. Also we're ponies not horses."

"Alright then. I'll come to the castle later in the afternoon. Now bye." He said escorting her to the door.
