Equestria's Draconus

"If there was a time to say that the Kaikrussian Empire was in peace and harmony, well then the history books would be filled with the stories. Well no, it was never peaceful, barbaric yes but peaceful, we are to far away from knowing what peace is. If you were to even mention Equestria on the streets the society would be in an uproar, you would be hung by your arms and tortured right in front of every civilian on the street. For a city raised by demons it seems completely justified. Although the whole torture thing happens to my kind every day, the Kaikrussian Hunters. We are pure Kaikrussian, born with the blood of spirits of our demon and hunter ancestors. Starting with my ancestor Vladimir Draconus, the very first born hunter, who raised the Kaikrussian military up to its peak and declared war on Equestria 1500 years ago. I could see the battle for Canterlott now, Equestria's last stand to defend themselves from the Kaikrussian army that stood before them, led by Vladimir himself."

The burned battlefield that seperated the Kaikrussian and Equestrian militaries was demolished from constant battle, both armies standing before each other. The battle takes place 500 years before Nightmare Moon's betrayal, Princess Luna and Celestia stand along side with the Equestrians to help defend the land that they love dearly. Next to them was General Iron Armor, who wears royal guard armor. His mane was long and white, and he had on a royal guard helmet. He carried a long sword on his side, prepared to draw it forth and slay his enemies. Right next to him was his brother, Flight Commander Iron Wing. He was in charge of the pegasi that aid the Equestrians. His appearance is almost the same as Iron Armor except for the fact that he was a Pegasus and his hair was short and black. He wasn't wearing a helmet and he carried a short sword on his side. Iron Armor grabs Celestia's shoulder and says, "Your highnesses, its too dangerous for you two to be out here. Head to the castle immediately." Celestia shakes her head, stating that she refuses to leave.

Across the other side of the field on a small hill stood the Kaikrussian military, and at the front of the pack was Vlad Draconus. He wore big bulky armor that made appear larger than he actually was, though he was described as a monster that stood 7 feet tall. He carried a large sword on his back that would require 2 hands for a normal pony but he can hold it with 1, and a knife on his hip which was actually a short sword. On his face were strange tattoo markings that looked like the language of demons and in the middle of his left cheek said Torment. The rest of the army that stood behind him wore similar armor and also horned helmets that covered up their entire face. Vlad brings his hand back and waves to his soldiers shouting "Bring forth the prisoner!" the entire valley heard his yell. The Kaikrussians push out a prisoner who was wearing Equestrian Royall Guard armor, he was bloodied, beaten to half of his life, and his mouth was stitched shut. In other words he was pretty fucked up. A look of suspense went over Iron Armor's face.

"Isn't that your son?" Iron Wings says tapping Iron Armor's shoulder. The Kaikrussians forced him onto his knees right next to Vlad. Vlad grabbed the back of his head by his mane and held him up, then pulled out his knife from its hilt and held it up to the prisoner's throat. "This is your last warning, this is what will happen to you if you don't surrender to the Kaikrussian Empire. May this be an example!" Vlad drags the blade across the prisoner's neck, nearly decapitating him. Vlad holds up the prisoner still so that the General can see the life drain from his son's eyes.

"Royal Guard attack!" screamed Iron Armor in pure rage.

"Kaikrussians attack!" screamed Vlad. The Kaikrussians started charging towards the Equestrians chanting "Maim, Kill, Burn. Maim, Kill, Burn!" Both armies have a clash together and the bloodshed began. "Kill, Crush, Rip them limb from limb. Don't stop killing til I am drinking the Princesses blood through their still beating hearts!" shouted Vlad at the top of his lungs.

"The battle was one of the most devastating things that Equestria has faced. Not only did the Kaikrussians fail in their attempt to take Equestria, but they lost Vlad in the battle. He had slain both Iron Armor and Iron Wings but was taken out by Celestia due to the Elements of Harmony. Although, he was born again as the great demon Torment, a demon of god-like ability. Not only did it mark him as a traitor due to the fact that he took the entire army and disappeared but it marked pain, neglect, and torture for the rest of the hunters born, including his own son, who then had a son and so on, making the Draconus Family. Other hunter families were born as well but a Draconus hunter is the most powerful and most deadly. Thus I write this letter to you my emperor, that if you are reading this I am already dead. Please make sure that my sons Damon and Kai become successful as the leaders of the Hunters. Sincerely, Malakai Draconus."

The Emperor sits on his throne holding the letter up to his face."It has been almost 5 years since the death of Malakai." The Emperor points at one of his guards, "Bring me Damon."

"Yes my lord." says the guard as he bows at his lord. The guard walks out of the room and comes back a few minutes later with a boy, who appeared to be 16 years of age. His body was scared and covered with fresh cuts. He is weak from constant torture that he was dragged into the room. The guard forces him on his knees and holds his face up to look at the Emperor.

"Damon Draconus, how have you been enjoying your 2 year sentence to non-stop torture?" the Emperor asks. Damon doesn't answer making the Emperor continue talking. "Its been 5 years since the betrayal of your twin Kai and the death of your father isn't it?"

"What do you want from me old man?" Damon states angrily at the Emperor, "I already know so don't answer."

"Well it has been 2 years and you are finally 16 years of age, so Im making you take your father's place in the military and lead the Hunters into battle." The guards grab Damon's right arm and put the gauntlet of the military armor on Damon's arm. The armor goes from his fingertips to his shoulder. Then another guard comes to Damon with a devise that appeared to be scorching hot. The devise was made to burn the Armor into Damon's skin so he can never take it off. When the guard puts the devise on Damon feels the boiling metal burning into his skin but he is too weak to scream. "Damon my boy, consider this an honor. You get to lead Kaikrussia's greatest soldiers into the battlefield and fight along side your kind. Don't disappoint me."

"Fuck you." Damon says as he looks at the Emperor. "Eventually I will leave the Empire and come back for your head."
