Omniblade asked his group. A bunch of groans told him 'We are in pain and humiliated... other than that, yeah.' "I am good. Sharky could do better, but we are good." Tsunami replied. "The being we fought was basically a God, and it pummeled us to bits a few times before ejecting us fromour world, we are NOT fine." SkySummon said as he stood up. "My wings hurt. It was like when we fought Skeletron Prime without a clue about what we were getting into." Daemon said as he rolled ont his front, then flapped his wings to stand himself up. He then realized sometjing. "We are in three dimensions." Everybody just started looking around and saw that they were able to move more than just up and down and left and right. "I am bored and we need practice, let's fight some bosses." Tsunami said Daemon looked at her and said "I was going to say exactly that!". His fiery red eyes got a gleam in them as he heard a voice in his head announce that four Skeletrons have appeared. Canterlot Castle, Luna's room Luna was doing her duty, watching over the night, when she felt a powerful surge of magic. She knew this could not be good. She jumped out her window and began to fly towards the source of the disturbances. Back at the field The group made short work of the skeletrons, as they were hardly vulnerable in their armor. After dispatching the Skeletrons, they had SkySummon call forth some Eyes of Cthulhu. Luna was well on her way to the source of the disturbances when she saw eight giant eyeballs rain from the sky. She noticed they were headed towards four forms she feared the worst as she continued her flight. The four heroes each set to an eye and fought. the eyes sent out smaller eyes to assist them, which all seemed to target Daemon. In response to this unwanted advancement, he switched from his adamantine chainnsaw to his sword and sliced through a majority of the little eyes in one swing, two more took out the rest. The eye he was currenty assaulting with a chainsaw left chainsawing range, so he pulled out his spear to hit it from a distance, as he felt a bit too lazy to fly up to the stupid eye. Other than Daemon's little bit there, the group still made quick work of the eyes. Then Sky summoned two devourer of worlds mechanical cousins... Luna finally reached where the magical disturbances were coming from, and what she saw floored her. She saw the group of heroes fighting two mechanical worms, which they obviously summoned forth. The only person who even noticed Luna was Daemon, who was distracted long enough that on worm managed to jump into him and knock him over. He responded by pulling his chainsaw out of thin air and jabbing it into the mechanical beast. Luna helped the group by firing balls of energy at the worms that explode on impact. Afterr two more minutes of heated battle, the worms were defeated and began dropping varios coins, which gravitated towards the odd beings. "That was awesome! Let's fight Skeletron Prime next!" Daemon shouted to his friends. Luna looked at him and yelled "NO! You are NOT summoning more creatures to strike down! What do you even think you are doing summoning monsters in the first place!?" "We got our butts kicked by some monster before it decided to teleport us here," Omnislash said, "We are practicing so that we can get better and slay that thing." "Oh," Luna said after learning that, "Well, did you ever think of the beings here that your fighting could have an effect on? What if one of your creatures escaped?" "Um... no, never thought about it... Don't worry, we know what we are doing." Daemon said. "Also, if you are to yell at anyone, yell at me," Sky said, "I am the one who can summon these creatures." "But we asked you to." Tsunami said. "We should probably make some beds, in case we do die so that we have a place to respawn." Daemon said to the group. "We have beds in the castle that you may rest in." Luna told the group, "and what do you mean by 'respawn'?" "Allow me to explain on the way to your castle," Sky said as Luna began to lead the way, "You see, in our world, death is cheap, when you die, you revive in this one spot on the land you are, but only if you are an adventurer or hero such as us, but with a bed, you set where you revive." "Does everyone have wings where you come from?" Luna asked. Sky was about to respond, but Daemon beat him to the punch. "No, they are just manufactured artifacts." he said as he took the demon wings off, "See?" "Oh. Why do you have wings like that while the others have wings more like mine?" "I think these are cooler." Eventually, they reached the mountain, and Luna just teleported them up to her room. "I just remembered something we forgot to explain while we were walking here!" Tsunami said, "We only existed in a two dimensional plane up until a few hours ago." Luna stared at the cross dimensional beings for a moment, "That is... interesting... You moved just fine while fighting those giant mechanical worms." "We were fighting, that is something we do all the time." Omniblade said, "We constanty fight monsters to protect our friends. The movement became natural while we fought." To make his point, he pointed at Daemon, who looked like he was straining himself to turn towards the group. Failing with that, he noticed the Nintenpony Famicom (You make a pony pun on it, I will edit this chapter if I find it good enough) and walked towards it and began to play Battle Filly Fortress. Chapter 3 - SparringThe next morning Luna snuck the non-ponies to their own rooms the last night and went to go check on them this morning. The princess was going to show her older sister the adventurers to see if she had seen anything like this happen, since Luna wouldn't know, being on the moon for a thousand years. She walked into Tsunami's room and saw her sleeping, hugging the Megashark she calls 'Sharky' like a teddy bear, woke her up, and checked on SkySummon. Sky was already awake, and was currently utilizing a timer and box statue for some mimics to fight. Omniblade was next, and he was just looking out the window. Finally, there was Daemon, who was on the ceiling, messing around with light fixtures and drawing crude renditions of their battles while in Equestria, including the part where Luna distracted him and the mechanical worm rammed into him. "Get down from there, and clean it up." Omnislash said to Daemon. "How is he on the ceiling?" Luna asked. "Gravitational potion. My design, actually." Sky said to Luna. Then suddenly boss music. "What was that?!" Luna asked, because even she can tell two sharp notes/sounds are bad news, and missed them when the people were fighting. Daemon was laughing his butt off. "Boss music!" He said between fits of laughter, "I love it! And if you coudn't tell, I found out how to turn. Tank controls, though." "How did you-" You can guess what she was going to ask, but she saw the music box. "Ah. I just noticed you guys bring out the inquisitive side of me, I should probably save everything until we meet my sister." In the day couft "-And that's why we need a zombie defence budget." A pony said as he finishsd his argument. Celestia smiled as she said "My little pony, if you were to ever see a zombie, the plan already failed. I gdt this kind of suggestion more often than you would think." Then suddenly, Luna. "Hey Tia! I have visitors from another universe that I want you to meet!" Luna yelled to her sister as the four Terrarians walked in as well. After some quick introductions, Daemon announced "Alright, Question Time!" "Do you have any magic artifacts?" Celestia asked the group. "This is a water rod," Sky said as he pulled said artifacts over his head, "It shoots water, but is quite painful so it is not a toy." Daemon pulled out his magic mirror "This is my magic mirror, it sends people home when they hold it up like this!" He held up the mirror and sparkles appeared. "Crud-" He disappeared in a flash and stomping could clearly be heard as he walked back to the room. "I also have the Sunfury, a flaming mace." he added as he pulled out the Sunfury, then dropped it. "You can have it, I don't really care for it, terrible at wielding it." Celestia levitated it to her side, clearly interested by it. "What is that thing?" She asked, motioning towards Tsunami. "This," She said, hoisting it over her head, "Is my MEGASHARK! Part gun, part shark, all awesome." "Interesting... What do you four do?" Tia asked. "We are heroes," Omniblade said, "We fight monsters to protect others and for fun." "Oh! That's wonderful!" Tia said, "You know, I wish I could see you do something with your items, they are interesting." "Why wish? We could have a sparring match!" Daemon exclaimed. "I don't want you hurting my guards." Celestia said. "No no no, we would spar against eachother, or with you or your sister if you wished to join, your guards would probably not withstand more than one hit, anyways." Daemon said, earning a glare from a newer guard. "Seems reasonable... okay, you may spar in the guard's training grounds." Celestia said. Author's Note Chapter title misleading! The actual sparring will be next chapter, as I do not want to have my kindle lag too much due to text overload. Chapter 4 - DuelGuard training grounds Celestia prepared for everything for the sparring match She had Shining Armor put up a shield, had one up herself in case it wasn't enough (though Shining is a bit better at shield projection than her), and... That's it, really. Tsunami went to the stands, and started munching on a bag of popcorn. Two of the heroes were in the arena usually reserved for many short sparring matches between guards. One was Omniblade, standing tall (or at least as tall as he can... Terrarians are not human sized, they are barely taller than Twilight/the average pony), holding his Legendary Excalibur. The other was Daemon, who was... setting down a music box. He then rigged it to a pressure plate and armed himself with his adamantine sword (Godly prefix, for those who want specifics). Shining shouted for the match to begin, Daemon stepped on the plate, and the two charged towards eachother. The music was the boss music. They both jumped to the air before their swords collided, in which they pretty much bounced off of eachother's blows. Dasmon pulled out his Superior Adamantine Glaive and swung it towards Omniblade, who got caught in it because he dodged to the side rather than upwards. The two then took to the skies and assaulted eachother again with their blades. Omniblade parried one of the blows and capitalized on this advantage by going on the offensive. Daemon was blocking the blows, but he had barely enough room to breathe, let alone think, despite being in the sky, with how close Omniblade was getting. "Dude, back off." Daemon told his opponent. Omniblade was not letting up. "Back off!" Daemon yelled at him. He was not letting up. Daemon parried one of the strikes and buried his blade in Omniblade's chest. "BACK." He brought his arm back, had his Pwnhammer appear out of hammerspace into his hand, "OFF!" He swung his arm and spiked Omniblade to the ground, and followed suit with his Glaive, pinning Omniblade to the ground. "I do not like people in my bubble!" Daemon shouted as he brought his Pwnhammer down onto Omniblade one more time and he exploded into many little bits... Then he flew out the window from his room and said "GOOD MATCH! NO IDEA YOU HAD THAT IN YOU!" Daemon shouted back "I NEED SPACE!" Tsunami and SkySummon were in the arena now, and when shining announced the start, a hail of bullets and stars started going everywhere. Luna raised an extra layer, seeing that the other two were actually struggling trying to keep their shields up. Nopony (or the other two Terrarians) could even see what was going on, as Tsunami had some grenades on hand and Sky had a hallowed repeater with holy arrows. After a few minutes, all that reained on field was a battered Tsunami drinking a greater healing potion, and a gooey mess that one would assume used to be Sky. Sky came out the window grumbling about a cheap shot. Author's Note Short chapter, but it is the promised duel. Chapter 5 - ElementsThe next day Twilight Sparkle and her friends were walking through Canterlot Castle to the Day Court. "I can't wait to meet the heroes that the Princess told us about in that letter!" Twilight said. "We don't even know much about them." Rainbow Dash said. "What if everything they said was a lie?" "Dashie!" Pinkie said, "The princess knows what she is doing, and a friend of the princesses is a friend of mine!" She said as she balanced on her rear hooves to put one hoof in the air to add emphasis, "Let's go!" Pinkie opened the door (still on her rear hooves, mind you), and saw Daemon doing the same thing as her with the other dood in perfect mirror of her down to excited grin. Ten their eyes narrowed as their faces went very serious, then they, still mirroring eachother, started doing a robot dance. after that, they leaned toward eachother and away, then made a face that practixally screams 'screw it', and then did Carmell-Dansen or however it is spelled. Everybody looking on were confused. Then Daemon and Pinkie burst into laughter. Celestia then said "Those two seem to be getting along well." The others entered the room and saw the other three adventurers. Rariyy was mostly intrigued bybtheir outfits/armor, Rainbow was curious about how fast they could fly with their wings, Pinkie was still Carmell-Dansen with Daemon, Fluttershy was... Fluttershy, Twilight was more intrigued by the wizard known as SkySummon,, and Applejack was eyeing the weapons with caution. Omniblade noticed her noticing his blade, and made it go away. The others did so as well, except for Tsunami, who just hoisted her egashark above her head and said "This... is my MEGASHARK!" Daemon and Pinkie were juggling random things now, Pinkie a bunch of candy, cupcakes, and a slice of normal cake, Daemon juggled his sword, chainsaw, and repeater. "Daemon!" Omniblade said, "Stop jugging your weaponry and introduce yourself!" "Okay, my name is Daemon." He said. After quick introductions, Daemon made his weapons go back to hammerspace (except the sword, that went onto his back). Celestia then stated "I actually called you siz here for another reason, come this way." Celestia lead them down into a cave (it was ten minutes of odd silence I did not want to write up until then), which was likely made by renovations, "You see, we found this chest that has a lock we can't seem to open no matter what. I was hoping you six could find a way to do that." They entered the room and the group saw a dark chest with a lock on it. Daemon just walked up to it and put in his shadow key, then did what we all do, LOOT IT! "I should have seen that coming." Luna said as she walked over to the adventurer looting the chest. "So, what's in it?" "Legendary Marumasa, dynamite, magic mirror, a Suspicious Eye, Shine Potion, and *GAAAAAAAASP*!" He turned around, revealing he had somehow in the time it took to turn around put on an Adamantine Fedora, "SWAG!" He still has that visual effect that a full set of Adamantine Armor gives. Luna took the Marumasa... because... awesome. "A Suspicious Eye? What's that?" Twilight asked. "It summons down the Eye of Cthulhu! A giant eyeball that shoots out littler eyeballs that attack you and it also rams you!" Daemon exclaimed in a dramatic way, then put on a bored face and said "I have like, twelve already." Then he threw it over his shoulder. It bounced off the floor with a suspicious sounding squelch. That suspicious part is because it is a suspicious eye, get it? Aw, screw you. Daemon then accidentaly stepped on a pressure plate that was in front of the chest that he missed on the way to the chest and several boulders fell from the cieling, and hit him. the first two made him look dizzy (complete with 6_9 eyes), the third made him explode into bits, frightening the Elements, and possibly traumatizing Fluttershy. The others did not react with shock, but of minor annoyance. "Hey Sky, can you TP Daemon here… I think he will get lost." Tsunami asked Sky. Sky was about to, but Daemon apparently knew where he was going, and was sneaking in. "BOO!" he shouted, making all but the other Terrarians to reflexively jump... except for Applejack, who he was behind, who bucked. The crack made from the hit made the other two males flinch in horror. "MY ANATOMY!" Daemon exclaimed in pain. Aplejack was confused as to where she had bucked to get such a reaction, then realized where she bucked. "Ah'm sorry!" Applejack said to the prone Daemon. "It's okay, this has to be the third time it has ever happened accidentally, and like the twentieth overall. I am pretty sure the falling over in pain is just a natural reflex at this point. I am okay." Daemon said. "I never planned on having kids in the first place." "Ah am SO sorry!" Applejack said as she helped Daemon up. "We should probably get out of here before he ends up a woman." Sky said. "But I don't want to be the only girl in the group!" Tsunami said, eliciting a glare from everyone. "What?" Interlude 1 - Absence, or - PreparationDaemon was writing a note and had a safe put down. "Daemon, what are you diing?" Tsunami asked Daemon. "I'm putting a note for Dawn, the engineer." Daemon told her, then put the note in the safe. Terraria, in a castle in the sky "Dawn, what are you doing?" Malik, the gunsmith, asked. "I am going into Daemon's safe. he told me that if he is ever gone for too long, which he said is three days, I was to look into his safe and retrieve a note addressed to me." Dawn said,, then reached in and grabbed the note that just materialized. "That's convenient." She reached in and read the note's top line aloud: "'Read to all allies'... To the meeting hall!" After gathering everybody, she began to read the note "Dearest allies, You have been of great assistance to me and our group for many a moon, and wish to thank you for your assistance. However, I am in a different universe filled with talking ponies. I will be unable to protect you from attack in the following time until we find a return. Arm yourselves. A blood moon comes, I can sense it. (what do you think these red eyes are for? messing with camera people? No, I am the first person born on a blood moon in a thousand years!) The armory will contain all of the armor and weapons and ammo you will need to survive. Dawn, set uo turrets with the arrow traps and a one second timer. Merlin, give them spell tomes, I have extra cursed flames and souls to make the cursed flames spell books. If you all want, I also have a statue of a slime to create some practice before the blood moon arrives, just attach a pressure plate to some wiring and the statue, a blue slime should appear every time the plate is pressed. Good luck, I wish for you all to survive the nights to come until we find a way back or a way to bring you here. May the odds be ever in your favor, Daemon P.S. On the progress of finding ways to get either of us to eachother, we assume whatever teleports you guys to our castle will work between universes, so assigning you guys rooms here should work, but I would prefer the Dryad and Guide stay to help adventurers that decide to take up our mantle. They will need it." Everybody went silent at this. Urist the demolitionist was the one to break the silence. "Oy! Fancy clothes man! You can turn back into Skeletron to protect us!" "No, I had the curse that does that removed when Daemon utterly destroyed me. Even if I could, no! Those things can do much more damage to the heroes than Skeletron could ever do." The Old Man said. "Well, Let's get to business!" Malik said, I"I have shotguns, shark guns, black market parts to upgrade the shark into a megashark, crappy little pistol, and ammo!" "I will reforge your weapons until I get the best I can." The Goblin Tinkerer tokd the group. "There must be something big coming if he wants us to prepare so much... Do you guys really want to go through with this? or should we just tell him to try to bring us there?" The Nurse said to the group. They had no idea which to choose. Chapter 6 - Shattered, or - Cerebus Syndrome[Canterlot... again] Daemon was now experimenting with his magical artifacts. He wanted to see how they worked in Equestria. So far, he has noticed that there was no limit on flying, he could fly as long as he had energy, his enchanted star circle boomerangs that stack up to five now homed in on targets slightly, his chainsaw requires slime gel or other fuel to power it, but the slime gel was best, enemies spawned with a statue automatically know how to strafe and all that, and his spell book can actually be read. He had just removed his bed to see how the Magic Mirror has been affected. He raised the mirror, it began to sparkle, then it shattered. "OW!" Daemon shouted. "You okay?" A voice that is oddly familiar said. "Yeah, I-" Daemon saw who asked that, and it was... himself wearing blue adamantine armor? "BEST DAY EVER!" He looked around and saw there was a green him and an orange him as well. "There is only one thing to do." Original Daemon said. "Indeed." The others said as a psychotic smirk appeared across all of their faces. ... "CHARGE!!!" They all shouted as they started throwing glowsticks everywhere. Everywhere, there was glowsticks. Not a single square inch of the day court was uncovered. It was brighter than the sun in there, and all of the Daemons were laughing their butts off. "I really don't want to ask." Celestia said. "Magic mirror did this since I removed my- or is it our- bed before using it." Red Daemon said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "I have been checking out how the artifacts differ between universes, such as actually being able to open these magic books, and the chainsaw needs fuel. This happened." "I love this! I have never been so excited in my life!" Orange Daemon said. "Though technically my entire life is five minutes, tops..." His face didn't go all contemplative on how little time he has existed, he just said tops long. "Hey, lets make the ultimate chainsaw sword!" Green Daemon said. "Nah, that would be more awesome, but impractical since we have a better chance of harming ourselves in this environment as opposed to our two dimensional world. A rocket propelled hammer, though..." Blue Daemon suggested. "What about fuel?" Orange Daemon asked, which caused the others to think about it. "My own whimsy is ruined by myself!" Red Daemon exclaimed. "This is just as awesome and a lot less awesome as I thought it would be at the same time!" They all decided to mess with the Elements of Harmony (well, the bearers of them, anyways). [Ponyville, five minutes later... They work fast!] "Okay me's," Red Daemon said to the group of himself, "from what I know, Twilight lives in the library. Since we all just wasted our lightsticks on Celestia's day court, except for the normal ones, which we agreed go to the bakery for some reason, we should just throw all of those books we found in the dungeon trying to find that water tome, which we failed at." "We know the plan, we all think the same!" Blue Daemon said. "The only differentiation would have to be from minor changes in view and experience in the events that take place. Let's go!" They walked to the library, and readied their books. "CHARGE!" They yelled as they ran in and started throwing books everywhere, but then they saw Spike. "HOLY MOLY A DRAGON!" They all yelled as they ran up to the young dragon. "Are these those four adventurers you were talking about?" Spike asked Twilight, who was just charging up a spell. The four Daemons realized it was probably going to be used on them, and promptly sought cover as Twilight shot it at them. "Twi! What are you doing!?" Red Daemon shouted to the apparently bonkers unicorn. "We already faced too many Pinkie Pies once because of the mirror pool, I do not want to face that kind of thing again!" Twilight shouted to the group. "What's the mirror pool?" The four Daemons asked in unison. "Wait, what?" Twilight asked as she un-charged her spell. "How did you clone yourself if you haven't been to the mirror pool?" "Magic mirror experiment, and your response to extra Pinkie Pies was to kill them!?" Daemon shouted at the (now confirmed to be crazy in their minds) unicorn. "No! They were made of magic, and so they were just sent back into the pool!" Twilight explained, "and they were so annoying-" "I annoy my friends constantly, they don't try to kill me!" Red Daemon yelled at Twilight. Daemons clones looked at eachother with concern. "On would assume that since they could annoy, they were effectively alive beings, which you just said you effectively erased from being, and this does not ride on your conscience at all?! What measure is a clone! Maybe they didn't have Pinkie's memories? They wouldn't know to not annoy others in that case! My clones have my memories, they at least acknowledge that I am the original me! Is that why you removed the clones? because they claimed to all be the real Pinkie? That makes some sense, but you could have found a way that didn't involve killing them!" Twilight had her mouth wide open, Daemon's clones were leaving, clearly frightened, as opposed to Real Daemon's anger. "I... never thought about it that way..." Twilight said. "I got all of my information from this book." she said as she levitated the book of legends that are true that was used in the episode. Daemon scanned the table of contents for the information on the mirror pool, then looked up the information mentioned, then saw the spell... "WHAT IN THE HELL THAT I HAVE BEEN TO MANY TIMES IS THIS!" He shouted. "You could have lost the real Pinkie?! What did you do to make sure she was the real her?" Twilight explained what happened. Daemon's jaw dropped. His clones heard this, and went to Sugarcube Corner to drown their newfound information in sugary confections, and maybe the building itself if it is made out of confectionry like it looks, and met Pinkie along the way. "H-Hi Pinks." Blue Daemon said to Pinkie Pie. "Woah! There is three of you? Cool!" Pinkie said. "Actually, we are clones..." Orange said to her. "We heard what happened with the clone incident... we kind of want to know if you are okay, that kind of thing is traumatic..." Green Daemon said to the party pony. Pinkie's mane straightened slightly at the mention of clones. "I... don't want to talk about it..." "We should probably talk about it, talking usually helps, okay Pinks?" Blue told her. [Library] Twilight had explained everything that went on when Pinkie cloned herself. "I... don't think I can blame you for your actions, since what you know is very little, and you had no clue... We should probably talk to Pinks- Pinkie Pie, though..." Daemon told the purple unicorn. "Yeah, that kind of thing... it was pretty much psychological torture by any other name..." Twilight said as they left the library to find Pinkie Pie. Chapter 7 - The Cerebus Ends![Sugarcube Corner. Twilight and Daemon entered the bakery and saw the clones and Pinkie Pie having milkshakes. "Hi Twilight! We already know why you are here and already talked about the clone thing." Pinkie said. "I attempted to do something and find it already done?" Red Daemon said, then shrugged, "Beats the time I had to fifht zombie ghosts." "One can not be both a zombie and a ghost." Twilight said. "Say that to the zombie ghosts." Red Daemon told her. "So, where are the others?" Twilight asked. "Working on getting us back home, or bringing our non-adventurer allies here if we can not find a way." Blue Daemon said, "You can ask any of us, not just Original Daemon. We share our memories up until we became existant." He took a sip of a blueberry milkshake. "I got you a bottle of Who's Who from Tsu's stash of sodas." Orange said as he tossed the bottle to Daemon Prime. "Thanks!" He opened it up and a distinct 'Who's Who!' was heard. "Magic soda, give me awesomeness!" They all chatted about adventures they had... or at least remember, in the case of the clones. [Canterlot Castle Luna Labs] The three adventurers who were not Daemon and his clones were currently discussing magic and hw to fix their predicament. Suddenly, Tsunami's head snapped up from her book, Exploiting the Aether for Fun and Profit, sensing something. "DAEMON STOLE ONE OF MY BOTTLES OF WHO'S WHO!" Tsunami said. [Sugarcube Corner] "Did you hear that?" Green Daemon asked. "Yes. I am very terrified." Orange Daemon said. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Tsunami. Angry. Do you have a bunker of some sort? Maybe an impregnable fortress? A wall of six feet solid steel?" Red Daemon asked. "I am gonna die repeatedly. Wanna break out the ale? or do you think that it wil hurt more if we do?" Blue Daemon asked. "What's ale?" Pinkie asked. "Alcoholic beverage. Makes you act stupid, but many people like it." Orange Daemon explained. "Confound these me, I've driven us to drink!" Chapter 8 - Retribution[Sugarcube Corner... Still] "So you are saying that Tsunami yelled that?! From Canterlot!?" Twilight asked the Daemons. "Yep." Green Daemon said, then turned to Orange Daemon, "You did remember to steal the entire epic perk pack, right?" Orange Daemon facepalmed. "No!" "We know she hates it more when I just take one!" Red Daemon said, "She is going to kill me, and kill me, and kill me again!" "Epic perk pack?" Twilight asked aloud to herself. "There is this game where you kill ever increasing in size and how much it takes to kill hordes of zombies, and you use weapons similar to these," takes out the pistol he keeps on him incase Malik dies, "and a ray gun if you get it, and there are bonuses you get through soda bottles and WHY AM I EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU I AM ABOUT TO DIE AND DIE AND DIE SOME MORE!" "You could wear your goggles and Doctor's clothes!" Blue Daemon suggested. "Right!" Red Daemon said. Twilight blinked and he was wearing the doctor's clothes and a pair of goggles. "Wish I had a Time and relative dimension in space device to hide in... for more reasons than this." "How did you-" "Autopause in inventoy." "What are you talking abou-" "HAMMERSPACE I KEEP MY SWORDS AND STUFF!" he said, various swords and a fishbowl manifesting in his hands as he said that. He then ran into the mail office across the street to find a place to hide. Then Tsunami burst in, the lights the mythril hood makes her eyes seen were made of fire, and yelled "WHERE IS HE!?!" "AAAAH! DON'T MURDER US!" The clones yelled in unison. Even Twilight was scared. "TALK!" She yelled. "He went to the post office!" Some random pony, who got a glare that physically hurt that pony, said. "Thank you." Tsunami calmly said, then walked out. After a moment, Orang Daemon said "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU JUST DID!?!" "N-no!" The pony, who we know as Lyra, replied. "OW!" Daemon yelled before his head bounced through and broke the window. "Sorry!" His head then proceeded to bounce out and break another window. "Sorry again!" "THAT!" Orange said to Lyra. "Okay, in my defense, I did not know that would have happened!" Lyra defended herself. "Lyra, were you not listening to our conversation or the yelling from a moment ago?" Twilight asked. "Actually, no. I just came in." Lyra said. "Oh. You are easily forgiven, then." Blue Daemon said. "Really?" Lyra and Twilight said at the same time. "Terrarians can't hold grudges. We have our berserk buttons, but when you respawn, we can handle our problems wit pummeling each other or pummeling zombies. Or summoning forth a monster that night to pummel. Really, our life revolves around digging, building, and pummeling things." Green Daemon said. "That explains earlier about the clone thing and none of you caring that I nearly erased you from continued existence." Twilight said. "Wanna go bring Original us his head?" Orange asked the other two Daemons. "Yeah!" They responded. "where did it go, anyways?" Blue asked. [Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse, Sweet Apple Acres] "So we are going to be Cutie Mark Crusader Ninjas?" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo, who was wearing a ninja outfit. "Of course! What's cooler than ninjas?" Scootaloo asked. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! OW!" Daemon said as his head landed inside through an open window. "Um, hello! Don't mind me, I'll fade out in like, 30 seconds." "Woah, cool! A talking head! Wait, I saw you in town earlier!" Applebloom said. "I DO NOT WANT AN APPLE! And yeah, my friend got mad at me. You should have seen her! She used my own sword to- are you supposed to be a ninja?" "Yeah! What do you think?" Scootaloo asked. "You do know they wear black to blend with the shadows, not purple, right?" Daemon's head asked. "Oh, shut up!" Scootaloo responded. "You know, if you are trying to get whatever picture appears on your sides here's a hint. The picture seems to be relevant to their na-" His head faded out. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Chapter 9- CRUSADERRRRRRRS!!![Golden Branches Libraty, Ponyville Branch] WHO'S WHO! Daemon appeared in the library with an orange glow around him. "He made them actually work!?! Sky is very good at alchemy!" Daemon said to himself. "Wait a minute..." He disappeared and reappeared in the mail office. Tsunami waiting for him. "You know what happens next, right?" She asked him. "It was clone me! Really!" Daemon shouted as he pu his arms up to block his face from the soon to be enacted pain. "Thanks for the honesty. You are still going to die a lot- AH CHOO!" tsunami ssid, then sneezed. Dadmon took her blinking from sneezing to run. He had 1 hp ledt when he got out of the door. Do not tick her off. He chugged a potion of regeneration and a greater heling potion, and went to barricade himself somewhere she will attempt to not actually look. [Sugarcube Corner] "BARRICADE THE EVERYTHING!" Daemon shouted as he started putting wood wall over the windows. "There! Now she can't-" Tsunami tapped his shoulder. "You left the door open." She said, then turned him around. "How did orange know where my soda stash was?" "We have a sixth sense that detecys swords and soda! It ties in with our ability to see things a certain distance away as long as there is light there!" Daemon said, then pulled out his magic mirror to get away... and it was broken into four. The other three clones had the other shards. "That made us happen because you had no spawn point. That would make more clones if it was whole. In fact..." Blue Daemon said, "CHARGE!" The three Daemon clones charged at Tsunami with their adamantine swords. Original Daemon pulled out his adamantine chainsaw and drove it into her chest. After two seconds, Tsunami was standing on a pile of Daemon bits. Nopony in the room had a clue as to how she did it. The Daemons appeared in Pinkie Pie's room. One of the Daemons foresaw this happening and set a spawn... Pinkie's bed. "This is the coolest blanket ever! Does it come in orange?" Original Daemon asked. "No, now let's run! We can change our names to Mark, wear fake mustaches, and live with mole people, or at least Equestria's equivalent." Green Daemon said. "Okay!" The others said in unison before jumping out the window. Then suddenly, Cutie Mark Crusaders on a scooter and wagon. "AAAAAH! CHILDREN!" They all said, then ran in the opposite direction. "Wait! We want to get our cutie marks and you never gave us our hint!" Scootaloo shouted as she sped after them. The group didn't bother turning. Two Daemons were just tearing the buildings and such apart while two were putting them back together as they ran. The Crusaders were keeping up. "I'm not trying to sell you an apple this time!" Applebloom shouted as the group ran through a fountain. "Oh, why didn't you say so!" Original Daemon said. He put the fountain back together. "Didn't you see us get all panicky back there? So, what's up?" "Your head never gave us our hint!" Scootaloo said." "It was names. Cutie marks usually match names, but some ponies are different than their names, so just do what you are good at." Daemon explained. "So, other than names matching, we get whatever the everypony else said to us." Scootaloo said. "Well, he does have a point. We just did random things and we don't have our cutie marks yet, so what do we have the most fun doing?" Sweetie Belle asked her friends. "We like crusading." Applebloom said. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CRUSADERS YAY!" The three fillies said in unison. then they ran off. "We have doomed the world, haven't we?" Blue Daemon asked. "Oh definitely." Green Daemon said. Chapter 1 - LegendsOnce upon a time, in the world of Terraria, there were four heroes. Omniblade, a hero in Hallowed armor who wields a Legendary Excalibur. Tsunami, a heroine in Mythril armor (the one with the green hood) who wields a Megashark minigun. SkySummon, a mage who can summon up the creatures fought time before (but can never control them) who wields a star cannon. And finally Daemon (pronounced Day Mon), their new recruit to their group who wields a variety of adamantine weapons (and the star boomerang things) and wears adamantine armor. The others are split on whether he is insane but focuses his insanity towards the bad guys, or just likes his job as a hero a bit too much. Each hero possess a pair of wings and a variety of items, which they use to protect the world from dangers. But then they faced a being too tough for them. They fought, and died, and fought again, until this beast decided it was done fooling around and banished them to another realm, then left as if nothing happened. New heroes took up their swords of copper and set out to grow into the mightiest of heroes. But they will never be like these heroes. Author's Note This chapter was told by the dryad.
Chapter 2 - MeetingsEquestria, in a field many miles from Canterlot "Ugh... is everybody okay?" Omniblade asked his group. A bunch of groans told him 'We are in pain and humiliated... other than that, yeah.' "I am good. Sharky could do better, but we are good." Tsunami replied. "The being we fought was basically a God, and it pummeled us to bits a few times before ejecting us fromour world, we are NOT fine." SkySummon said as he stood up. "My wings hurt. It was like when we fought Skeletron Prime without a clue about what we were getting into." Daemon said as he rolled ont his front, then flapped his wings to stand himself up. He then realized sometjing. "We are in three dimensions." Everybody just started looking around and saw that they were able to move more than just up and down and left and right. "I am bored and we need practice, let's fight some bosses." Tsunami said Daemon looked at her and said "I was going to say exactly that!". His fiery red eyes got a gleam in them as he heard a voice in his head announce that four Skeletrons have appeared. Canterlot Castle, Luna's room Luna was doing her duty, watching over the night, when she felt a powerful surge of magic. She knew this could not be good. She jumped out her window and began to fly towards the source of the disturbances. Back at the field The group made short work of the skeletrons, as they were hardly vulnerable in their armor. After dispatching the Skeletrons, they had SkySummon call forth some Eyes of Cthulhu. Luna was well on her way to the source of the disturbances when she saw eight giant eyeballs rain from the sky. She noticed they were headed towards four forms she feared the worst as she continued her flight. The four heroes each set to an eye and fought. the eyes sent out smaller eyes to assist them, which all seemed to target Daemon. In response to this unwanted advancement, he switched from his adamantine chainnsaw to his sword and sliced through a majority of the little eyes in one swing, two more took out the rest. The eye he was currenty assaulting with a chainsaw left chainsawing range, so he pulled out his spear to hit it from a distance, as he felt a bit too lazy to fly up to the stupid eye. Other than Daemon's little bit there, the group still made quick work of the eyes. Then Sky summoned two devourer of worlds mechanical cousins... Luna finally reached where the magical disturbances were coming from, and what she saw floored her. She saw the group of heroes fighting two mechanical worms, which they obviously summoned forth. The only person who even noticed Luna was Daemon, who was distracted long enough that on worm managed to jump into him and knock him over. He responded by pulling his chainsaw out of thin air and jabbing it into the mechanical beast. Luna helped the group by firing balls of energy at the worms that explode on impact. Afterr two more minutes of heated battle, the worms were defeated and began dropping varios coins, which gravitated towards the odd beings. "That was awesome! Let's fight Skeletron Prime next!" Daemon shouted to his friends. Luna looked at him and yelled "NO! You are NOT summoning more creatures to strike down! What do you even think you are doing summoning monsters in the first place!?" "We got our butts kicked by some monster before it decided to teleport us here," Omnislash said, "We are practicing so that we can get better and slay that thing." "Oh," Luna said after learning that, "Well, did you ever think of the beings here that your fighting could have an effect on? What if one of your creatures escaped?" "Um... no, never thought about it... Don't worry, we know what we are doing." Daemon said. "Also, if you are to yell at anyone, yell at me," Sky said, "I am the one who can summon these creatures." "But we asked you to." Tsunami said. "We should probably make some beds, in case we do die so that we have a place to respawn." Daemon said to the group. "We have beds in the castle that you may rest in." Luna told the group, "and what do you mean by 'respawn'?" "Allow me to explain on the way to your castle," Sky said as Luna began to lead the way, "You see, in our world, death is cheap, when you die, you revive in this one spot on the land you are, but only if you are an adventurer or hero such as us, but with a bed, you set where you revive." "Does everyone have wings where you come from?" Luna asked. Sky was about to respond, but Daemon beat him to the punch. "No, they are just manufactured artifacts." he said as he took the demon wings off, "See?" "Oh. Why do you have wings like that while the others have wings more like mine?" "I think these are cooler." Eventually, they reached the mountain, and Luna just teleported them up to her room. "I just remembered something we forgot to explain while we were walking here!" Tsunami said, "We only existed in a two dimensional plane up until a few hours ago." Luna stared at the cross dimensional beings for a moment, "That is... interesting... You moved just fine while fighting those giant mechanical worms." "We were fighting, that is something we do all the time." Omniblade said, "We constanty fight monsters to protect our friends. The movement became natural while we fought." To make his point, he pointed at Daemon, who looked like he was straining himself to turn towards the group. Failing with that, he noticed the Nintenpony Famicom (You make a pony pun on it, I will edit this chapter if I find it good enough) and walked towards it and began to play Battle Filly Fortress.
Chapter 3 - SparringThe next morning Luna snuck the non-ponies to their own rooms the last night and went to go check on them this morning. The princess was going to show her older sister the adventurers to see if she had seen anything like this happen, since Luna wouldn't know, being on the moon for a thousand years. She walked into Tsunami's room and saw her sleeping, hugging the Megashark she calls 'Sharky' like a teddy bear, woke her up, and checked on SkySummon. Sky was already awake, and was currently utilizing a timer and box statue for some mimics to fight. Omniblade was next, and he was just looking out the window. Finally, there was Daemon, who was on the ceiling, messing around with light fixtures and drawing crude renditions of their battles while in Equestria, including the part where Luna distracted him and the mechanical worm rammed into him. "Get down from there, and clean it up." Omnislash said to Daemon. "How is he on the ceiling?" Luna asked. "Gravitational potion. My design, actually." Sky said to Luna. Then suddenly boss music. "What was that?!" Luna asked, because even she can tell two sharp notes/sounds are bad news, and missed them when the people were fighting. Daemon was laughing his butt off. "Boss music!" He said between fits of laughter, "I love it! And if you coudn't tell, I found out how to turn. Tank controls, though." "How did you-" You can guess what she was going to ask, but she saw the music box. "Ah. I just noticed you guys bring out the inquisitive side of me, I should probably save everything until we meet my sister." In the day couft "-And that's why we need a zombie defence budget." A pony said as he finishsd his argument. Celestia smiled as she said "My little pony, if you were to ever see a zombie, the plan already failed. I gdt this kind of suggestion more often than you would think." Then suddenly, Luna. "Hey Tia! I have visitors from another universe that I want you to meet!" Luna yelled to her sister as the four Terrarians walked in as well. After some quick introductions, Daemon announced "Alright, Question Time!" "Do you have any magic artifacts?" Celestia asked the group. "This is a water rod," Sky said as he pulled said artifacts over his head, "It shoots water, but is quite painful so it is not a toy." Daemon pulled out his magic mirror "This is my magic mirror, it sends people home when they hold it up like this!" He held up the mirror and sparkles appeared. "Crud-" He disappeared in a flash and stomping could clearly be heard as he walked back to the room. "I also have the Sunfury, a flaming mace." he added as he pulled out the Sunfury, then dropped it. "You can have it, I don't really care for it, terrible at wielding it." Celestia levitated it to her side, clearly interested by it. "What is that thing?" She asked, motioning towards Tsunami. "This," She said, hoisting it over her head, "Is my MEGASHARK! Part gun, part shark, all awesome." "Interesting... What do you four do?" Tia asked. "We are heroes," Omniblade said, "We fight monsters to protect others and for fun." "Oh! That's wonderful!" Tia said, "You know, I wish I could see you do something with your items, they are interesting." "Why wish? We could have a sparring match!" Daemon exclaimed. "I don't want you hurting my guards." Celestia said. "No no no, we would spar against eachother, or with you or your sister if you wished to join, your guards would probably not withstand more than one hit, anyways." Daemon said, earning a glare from a newer guard. "Seems reasonable... okay, you may spar in the guard's training grounds." Celestia said. Author's Note Chapter title misleading! The actual sparring will be next chapter, as I do not want to have my kindle lag too much due to text overload.
Chapter 4 - DuelGuard training grounds Celestia prepared for everything for the sparring match She had Shining Armor put up a shield, had one up herself in case it wasn't enough (though Shining is a bit better at shield projection than her), and... That's it, really. Tsunami went to the stands, and started munching on a bag of popcorn. Two of the heroes were in the arena usually reserved for many short sparring matches between guards. One was Omniblade, standing tall (or at least as tall as he can... Terrarians are not human sized, they are barely taller than Twilight/the average pony), holding his Legendary Excalibur. The other was Daemon, who was... setting down a music box. He then rigged it to a pressure plate and armed himself with his adamantine sword (Godly prefix, for those who want specifics). Shining shouted for the match to begin, Daemon stepped on the plate, and the two charged towards eachother. The music was the boss music. They both jumped to the air before their swords collided, in which they pretty much bounced off of eachother's blows. Dasmon pulled out his Superior Adamantine Glaive and swung it towards Omniblade, who got caught in it because he dodged to the side rather than upwards. The two then took to the skies and assaulted eachother again with their blades. Omniblade parried one of the blows and capitalized on this advantage by going on the offensive. Daemon was blocking the blows, but he had barely enough room to breathe, let alone think, despite being in the sky, with how close Omniblade was getting. "Dude, back off." Daemon told his opponent. Omniblade was not letting up. "Back off!" Daemon yelled at him. He was not letting up. Daemon parried one of the strikes and buried his blade in Omniblade's chest. "BACK." He brought his arm back, had his Pwnhammer appear out of hammerspace into his hand, "OFF!" He swung his arm and spiked Omniblade to the ground, and followed suit with his Glaive, pinning Omniblade to the ground. "I do not like people in my bubble!" Daemon shouted as he brought his Pwnhammer down onto Omniblade one more time and he exploded into many little bits... Then he flew out the window from his room and said "GOOD MATCH! NO IDEA YOU HAD THAT IN YOU!" Daemon shouted back "I NEED SPACE!" Tsunami and SkySummon were in the arena now, and when shining announced the start, a hail of bullets and stars started going everywhere. Luna raised an extra layer, seeing that the other two were actually struggling trying to keep their shields up. Nopony (or the other two Terrarians) could even see what was going on, as Tsunami had some grenades on hand and Sky had a hallowed repeater with holy arrows. After a few minutes, all that reained on field was a battered Tsunami drinking a greater healing potion, and a gooey mess that one would assume used to be Sky. Sky came out the window grumbling about a cheap shot. Author's Note Short chapter, but it is the promised duel.
Chapter 5 - ElementsThe next day Twilight Sparkle and her friends were walking through Canterlot Castle to the Day Court. "I can't wait to meet the heroes that the Princess told us about in that letter!" Twilight said. "We don't even know much about them." Rainbow Dash said. "What if everything they said was a lie?" "Dashie!" Pinkie said, "The princess knows what she is doing, and a friend of the princesses is a friend of mine!" She said as she balanced on her rear hooves to put one hoof in the air to add emphasis, "Let's go!" Pinkie opened the door (still on her rear hooves, mind you), and saw Daemon doing the same thing as her with the other dood in perfect mirror of her down to excited grin. Ten their eyes narrowed as their faces went very serious, then they, still mirroring eachother, started doing a robot dance. after that, they leaned toward eachother and away, then made a face that practixally screams 'screw it', and then did Carmell-Dansen or however it is spelled. Everybody looking on were confused. Then Daemon and Pinkie burst into laughter. Celestia then said "Those two seem to be getting along well." The others entered the room and saw the other three adventurers. Rariyy was mostly intrigued bybtheir outfits/armor, Rainbow was curious about how fast they could fly with their wings, Pinkie was still Carmell-Dansen with Daemon, Fluttershy was... Fluttershy, Twilight was more intrigued by the wizard known as SkySummon,, and Applejack was eyeing the weapons with caution. Omniblade noticed her noticing his blade, and made it go away. The others did so as well, except for Tsunami, who just hoisted her egashark above her head and said "This... is my MEGASHARK!" Daemon and Pinkie were juggling random things now, Pinkie a bunch of candy, cupcakes, and a slice of normal cake, Daemon juggled his sword, chainsaw, and repeater. "Daemon!" Omniblade said, "Stop jugging your weaponry and introduce yourself!" "Okay, my name is Daemon." He said. After quick introductions, Daemon made his weapons go back to hammerspace (except the sword, that went onto his back). Celestia then stated "I actually called you siz here for another reason, come this way." Celestia lead them down into a cave (it was ten minutes of odd silence I did not want to write up until then), which was likely made by renovations, "You see, we found this chest that has a lock we can't seem to open no matter what. I was hoping you six could find a way to do that." They entered the room and the group saw a dark chest with a lock on it. Daemon just walked up to it and put in his shadow key, then did what we all do, LOOT IT! "I should have seen that coming." Luna said as she walked over to the adventurer looting the chest. "So, what's in it?" "Legendary Marumasa, dynamite, magic mirror, a Suspicious Eye, Shine Potion, and *GAAAAAAAASP*!" He turned around, revealing he had somehow in the time it took to turn around put on an Adamantine Fedora, "SWAG!" He still has that visual effect that a full set of Adamantine Armor gives. Luna took the Marumasa... because... awesome. "A Suspicious Eye? What's that?" Twilight asked. "It summons down the Eye of Cthulhu! A giant eyeball that shoots out littler eyeballs that attack you and it also rams you!" Daemon exclaimed in a dramatic way, then put on a bored face and said "I have like, twelve already." Then he threw it over his shoulder. It bounced off the floor with a suspicious sounding squelch. That suspicious part is because it is a suspicious eye, get it? Aw, screw you. Daemon then accidentaly stepped on a pressure plate that was in front of the chest that he missed on the way to the chest and several boulders fell from the cieling, and hit him. the first two made him look dizzy (complete with 6_9 eyes), the third made him explode into bits, frightening the Elements, and possibly traumatizing Fluttershy. The others did not react with shock, but of minor annoyance. "Hey Sky, can you TP Daemon here… I think he will get lost." Tsunami asked Sky. Sky was about to, but Daemon apparently knew where he was going, and was sneaking in. "BOO!" he shouted, making all but the other Terrarians to reflexively jump... except for Applejack, who he was behind, who bucked. The crack made from the hit made the other two males flinch in horror. "MY ANATOMY!" Daemon exclaimed in pain. Aplejack was confused as to where she had bucked to get such a reaction, then realized where she bucked. "Ah'm sorry!" Applejack said to the prone Daemon. "It's okay, this has to be the third time it has ever happened accidentally, and like the twentieth overall. I am pretty sure the falling over in pain is just a natural reflex at this point. I am okay." Daemon said. "I never planned on having kids in the first place." "Ah am SO sorry!" Applejack said as she helped Daemon up. "We should probably get out of here before he ends up a woman." Sky said. "But I don't want to be the only girl in the group!" Tsunami said, eliciting a glare from everyone. "What?"
Interlude 1 - Absence, or - PreparationDaemon was writing a note and had a safe put down. "Daemon, what are you diing?" Tsunami asked Daemon. "I'm putting a note for Dawn, the engineer." Daemon told her, then put the note in the safe. Terraria, in a castle in the sky "Dawn, what are you doing?" Malik, the gunsmith, asked. "I am going into Daemon's safe. he told me that if he is ever gone for too long, which he said is three days, I was to look into his safe and retrieve a note addressed to me." Dawn said,, then reached in and grabbed the note that just materialized. "That's convenient." She reached in and read the note's top line aloud: "'Read to all allies'... To the meeting hall!" After gathering everybody, she began to read the note "Dearest allies, You have been of great assistance to me and our group for many a moon, and wish to thank you for your assistance. However, I am in a different universe filled with talking ponies. I will be unable to protect you from attack in the following time until we find a return. Arm yourselves. A blood moon comes, I can sense it. (what do you think these red eyes are for? messing with camera people? No, I am the first person born on a blood moon in a thousand years!) The armory will contain all of the armor and weapons and ammo you will need to survive. Dawn, set uo turrets with the arrow traps and a one second timer. Merlin, give them spell tomes, I have extra cursed flames and souls to make the cursed flames spell books. If you all want, I also have a statue of a slime to create some practice before the blood moon arrives, just attach a pressure plate to some wiring and the statue, a blue slime should appear every time the plate is pressed. Good luck, I wish for you all to survive the nights to come until we find a way back or a way to bring you here. May the odds be ever in your favor, Daemon P.S. On the progress of finding ways to get either of us to eachother, we assume whatever teleports you guys to our castle will work between universes, so assigning you guys rooms here should work, but I would prefer the Dryad and Guide stay to help adventurers that decide to take up our mantle. They will need it." Everybody went silent at this. Urist the demolitionist was the one to break the silence. "Oy! Fancy clothes man! You can turn back into Skeletron to protect us!" "No, I had the curse that does that removed when Daemon utterly destroyed me. Even if I could, no! Those things can do much more damage to the heroes than Skeletron could ever do." The Old Man said. "Well, Let's get to business!" Malik said, I"I have shotguns, shark guns, black market parts to upgrade the shark into a megashark, crappy little pistol, and ammo!" "I will reforge your weapons until I get the best I can." The Goblin Tinkerer tokd the group. "There must be something big coming if he wants us to prepare so much... Do you guys really want to go through with this? or should we just tell him to try to bring us there?" The Nurse said to the group. They had no idea which to choose.
Chapter 6 - Shattered, or - Cerebus Syndrome[Canterlot... again] Daemon was now experimenting with his magical artifacts. He wanted to see how they worked in Equestria. So far, he has noticed that there was no limit on flying, he could fly as long as he had energy, his enchanted star circle boomerangs that stack up to five now homed in on targets slightly, his chainsaw requires slime gel or other fuel to power it, but the slime gel was best, enemies spawned with a statue automatically know how to strafe and all that, and his spell book can actually be read. He had just removed his bed to see how the Magic Mirror has been affected. He raised the mirror, it began to sparkle, then it shattered. "OW!" Daemon shouted. "You okay?" A voice that is oddly familiar said. "Yeah, I-" Daemon saw who asked that, and it was... himself wearing blue adamantine armor? "BEST DAY EVER!" He looked around and saw there was a green him and an orange him as well. "There is only one thing to do." Original Daemon said. "Indeed." The others said as a psychotic smirk appeared across all of their faces. ... "CHARGE!!!" They all shouted as they started throwing glowsticks everywhere. Everywhere, there was glowsticks. Not a single square inch of the day court was uncovered. It was brighter than the sun in there, and all of the Daemons were laughing their butts off. "I really don't want to ask." Celestia said. "Magic mirror did this since I removed my- or is it our- bed before using it." Red Daemon said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "I have been checking out how the artifacts differ between universes, such as actually being able to open these magic books, and the chainsaw needs fuel. This happened." "I love this! I have never been so excited in my life!" Orange Daemon said. "Though technically my entire life is five minutes, tops..." His face didn't go all contemplative on how little time he has existed, he just said tops long. "Hey, lets make the ultimate chainsaw sword!" Green Daemon said. "Nah, that would be more awesome, but impractical since we have a better chance of harming ourselves in this environment as opposed to our two dimensional world. A rocket propelled hammer, though..." Blue Daemon suggested. "What about fuel?" Orange Daemon asked, which caused the others to think about it. "My own whimsy is ruined by myself!" Red Daemon exclaimed. "This is just as awesome and a lot less awesome as I thought it would be at the same time!" They all decided to mess with the Elements of Harmony (well, the bearers of them, anyways). [Ponyville, five minutes later... They work fast!] "Okay me's," Red Daemon said to the group of himself, "from what I know, Twilight lives in the library. Since we all just wasted our lightsticks on Celestia's day court, except for the normal ones, which we agreed go to the bakery for some reason, we should just throw all of those books we found in the dungeon trying to find that water tome, which we failed at." "We know the plan, we all think the same!" Blue Daemon said. "The only differentiation would have to be from minor changes in view and experience in the events that take place. Let's go!" They walked to the library, and readied their books. "CHARGE!" They yelled as they ran in and started throwing books everywhere, but then they saw Spike. "HOLY MOLY A DRAGON!" They all yelled as they ran up to the young dragon. "Are these those four adventurers you were talking about?" Spike asked Twilight, who was just charging up a spell. The four Daemons realized it was probably going to be used on them, and promptly sought cover as Twilight shot it at them. "Twi! What are you doing!?" Red Daemon shouted to the apparently bonkers unicorn. "We already faced too many Pinkie Pies once because of the mirror pool, I do not want to face that kind of thing again!" Twilight shouted to the group. "What's the mirror pool?" The four Daemons asked in unison. "Wait, what?" Twilight asked as she un-charged her spell. "How did you clone yourself if you haven't been to the mirror pool?" "Magic mirror experiment, and your response to extra Pinkie Pies was to kill them!?" Daemon shouted at the (now confirmed to be crazy in their minds) unicorn. "No! They were made of magic, and so they were just sent back into the pool!" Twilight explained, "and they were so annoying-" "I annoy my friends constantly, they don't try to kill me!" Red Daemon yelled at Twilight. Daemons clones looked at eachother with concern. "On would assume that since they could annoy, they were effectively alive beings, which you just said you effectively erased from being, and this does not ride on your conscience at all?! What measure is a clone! Maybe they didn't have Pinkie's memories? They wouldn't know to not annoy others in that case! My clones have my memories, they at least acknowledge that I am the original me! Is that why you removed the clones? because they claimed to all be the real Pinkie? That makes some sense, but you could have found a way that didn't involve killing them!" Twilight had her mouth wide open, Daemon's clones were leaving, clearly frightened, as opposed to Real Daemon's anger. "I... never thought about it that way..." Twilight said. "I got all of my information from this book." she said as she levitated the book of legends that are true that was used in the episode. Daemon scanned the table of contents for the information on the mirror pool, then looked up the information mentioned, then saw the spell... "WHAT IN THE HELL THAT I HAVE BEEN TO MANY TIMES IS THIS!" He shouted. "You could have lost the real Pinkie?! What did you do to make sure she was the real her?" Twilight explained what happened. Daemon's jaw dropped. His clones heard this, and went to Sugarcube Corner to drown their newfound information in sugary confections, and maybe the building itself if it is made out of confectionry like it looks, and met Pinkie along the way. "H-Hi Pinks." Blue Daemon said to Pinkie Pie. "Woah! There is three of you? Cool!" Pinkie said. "Actually, we are clones..." Orange said to her. "We heard what happened with the clone incident... we kind of want to know if you are okay, that kind of thing is traumatic..." Green Daemon said to the party pony. Pinkie's mane straightened slightly at the mention of clones. "I... don't want to talk about it..." "We should probably talk about it, talking usually helps, okay Pinks?" Blue told her. [Library] Twilight had explained everything that went on when Pinkie cloned herself. "I... don't think I can blame you for your actions, since what you know is very little, and you had no clue... We should probably talk to Pinks- Pinkie Pie, though..." Daemon told the purple unicorn. "Yeah, that kind of thing... it was pretty much psychological torture by any other name..." Twilight said as they left the library to find Pinkie Pie.
Chapter 7 - The Cerebus Ends![Sugarcube Corner. Twilight and Daemon entered the bakery and saw the clones and Pinkie Pie having milkshakes. "Hi Twilight! We already know why you are here and already talked about the clone thing." Pinkie said. "I attempted to do something and find it already done?" Red Daemon said, then shrugged, "Beats the time I had to fifht zombie ghosts." "One can not be both a zombie and a ghost." Twilight said. "Say that to the zombie ghosts." Red Daemon told her. "So, where are the others?" Twilight asked. "Working on getting us back home, or bringing our non-adventurer allies here if we can not find a way." Blue Daemon said, "You can ask any of us, not just Original Daemon. We share our memories up until we became existant." He took a sip of a blueberry milkshake. "I got you a bottle of Who's Who from Tsu's stash of sodas." Orange said as he tossed the bottle to Daemon Prime. "Thanks!" He opened it up and a distinct 'Who's Who!' was heard. "Magic soda, give me awesomeness!" They all chatted about adventures they had... or at least remember, in the case of the clones. [Canterlot Castle Luna Labs] The three adventurers who were not Daemon and his clones were currently discussing magic and hw to fix their predicament. Suddenly, Tsunami's head snapped up from her book, Exploiting the Aether for Fun and Profit, sensing something. "DAEMON STOLE ONE OF MY BOTTLES OF WHO'S WHO!" Tsunami said. [Sugarcube Corner] "Did you hear that?" Green Daemon asked. "Yes. I am very terrified." Orange Daemon said. "What was that?" Twilight asked. "Tsunami. Angry. Do you have a bunker of some sort? Maybe an impregnable fortress? A wall of six feet solid steel?" Red Daemon asked. "I am gonna die repeatedly. Wanna break out the ale? or do you think that it wil hurt more if we do?" Blue Daemon asked. "What's ale?" Pinkie asked. "Alcoholic beverage. Makes you act stupid, but many people like it." Orange Daemon explained. "Confound these me, I've driven us to drink!"
Chapter 8 - Retribution[Sugarcube Corner... Still] "So you are saying that Tsunami yelled that?! From Canterlot!?" Twilight asked the Daemons. "Yep." Green Daemon said, then turned to Orange Daemon, "You did remember to steal the entire epic perk pack, right?" Orange Daemon facepalmed. "No!" "We know she hates it more when I just take one!" Red Daemon said, "She is going to kill me, and kill me, and kill me again!" "Epic perk pack?" Twilight asked aloud to herself. "There is this game where you kill ever increasing in size and how much it takes to kill hordes of zombies, and you use weapons similar to these," takes out the pistol he keeps on him incase Malik dies, "and a ray gun if you get it, and there are bonuses you get through soda bottles and WHY AM I EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU I AM ABOUT TO DIE AND DIE AND DIE SOME MORE!" "You could wear your goggles and Doctor's clothes!" Blue Daemon suggested. "Right!" Red Daemon said. Twilight blinked and he was wearing the doctor's clothes and a pair of goggles. "Wish I had a Time and relative dimension in space device to hide in... for more reasons than this." "How did you-" "Autopause in inventoy." "What are you talking abou-" "HAMMERSPACE I KEEP MY SWORDS AND STUFF!" he said, various swords and a fishbowl manifesting in his hands as he said that. He then ran into the mail office across the street to find a place to hide. Then Tsunami burst in, the lights the mythril hood makes her eyes seen were made of fire, and yelled "WHERE IS HE!?!" "AAAAH! DON'T MURDER US!" The clones yelled in unison. Even Twilight was scared. "TALK!" She yelled. "He went to the post office!" Some random pony, who got a glare that physically hurt that pony, said. "Thank you." Tsunami calmly said, then walked out. After a moment, Orang Daemon said "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU JUST DID!?!" "N-no!" The pony, who we know as Lyra, replied. "OW!" Daemon yelled before his head bounced through and broke the window. "Sorry!" His head then proceeded to bounce out and break another window. "Sorry again!" "THAT!" Orange said to Lyra. "Okay, in my defense, I did not know that would have happened!" Lyra defended herself. "Lyra, were you not listening to our conversation or the yelling from a moment ago?" Twilight asked. "Actually, no. I just came in." Lyra said. "Oh. You are easily forgiven, then." Blue Daemon said. "Really?" Lyra and Twilight said at the same time. "Terrarians can't hold grudges. We have our berserk buttons, but when you respawn, we can handle our problems wit pummeling each other or pummeling zombies. Or summoning forth a monster that night to pummel. Really, our life revolves around digging, building, and pummeling things." Green Daemon said. "That explains earlier about the clone thing and none of you caring that I nearly erased you from continued existence." Twilight said. "Wanna go bring Original us his head?" Orange asked the other two Daemons. "Yeah!" They responded. "where did it go, anyways?" Blue asked. [Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse, Sweet Apple Acres] "So we are going to be Cutie Mark Crusader Ninjas?" Sweetie Belle asked Scootaloo, who was wearing a ninja outfit. "Of course! What's cooler than ninjas?" Scootaloo asked. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! OW!" Daemon said as his head landed inside through an open window. "Um, hello! Don't mind me, I'll fade out in like, 30 seconds." "Woah, cool! A talking head! Wait, I saw you in town earlier!" Applebloom said. "I DO NOT WANT AN APPLE! And yeah, my friend got mad at me. You should have seen her! She used my own sword to- are you supposed to be a ninja?" "Yeah! What do you think?" Scootaloo asked. "You do know they wear black to blend with the shadows, not purple, right?" Daemon's head asked. "Oh, shut up!" Scootaloo responded. "You know, if you are trying to get whatever picture appears on your sides here's a hint. The picture seems to be relevant to their na-" His head faded out. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Chapter 9- CRUSADERRRRRRRS!!![Golden Branches Libraty, Ponyville Branch] WHO'S WHO! Daemon appeared in the library with an orange glow around him. "He made them actually work!?! Sky is very good at alchemy!" Daemon said to himself. "Wait a minute..." He disappeared and reappeared in the mail office. Tsunami waiting for him. "You know what happens next, right?" She asked him. "It was clone me! Really!" Daemon shouted as he pu his arms up to block his face from the soon to be enacted pain. "Thanks for the honesty. You are still going to die a lot- AH CHOO!" tsunami ssid, then sneezed. Dadmon took her blinking from sneezing to run. He had 1 hp ledt when he got out of the door. Do not tick her off. He chugged a potion of regeneration and a greater heling potion, and went to barricade himself somewhere she will attempt to not actually look. [Sugarcube Corner] "BARRICADE THE EVERYTHING!" Daemon shouted as he started putting wood wall over the windows. "There! Now she can't-" Tsunami tapped his shoulder. "You left the door open." She said, then turned him around. "How did orange know where my soda stash was?" "We have a sixth sense that detecys swords and soda! It ties in with our ability to see things a certain distance away as long as there is light there!" Daemon said, then pulled out his magic mirror to get away... and it was broken into four. The other three clones had the other shards. "That made us happen because you had no spawn point. That would make more clones if it was whole. In fact..." Blue Daemon said, "CHARGE!" The three Daemon clones charged at Tsunami with their adamantine swords. Original Daemon pulled out his adamantine chainsaw and drove it into her chest. After two seconds, Tsunami was standing on a pile of Daemon bits. Nopony in the room had a clue as to how she did it. The Daemons appeared in Pinkie Pie's room. One of the Daemons foresaw this happening and set a spawn... Pinkie's bed. "This is the coolest blanket ever! Does it come in orange?" Original Daemon asked. "No, now let's run! We can change our names to Mark, wear fake mustaches, and live with mole people, or at least Equestria's equivalent." Green Daemon said. "Okay!" The others said in unison before jumping out the window. Then suddenly, Cutie Mark Crusaders on a scooter and wagon. "AAAAAH! CHILDREN!" They all said, then ran in the opposite direction. "Wait! We want to get our cutie marks and you never gave us our hint!" Scootaloo shouted as she sped after them. The group didn't bother turning. Two Daemons were just tearing the buildings and such apart while two were putting them back together as they ran. The Crusaders were keeping up. "I'm not trying to sell you an apple this time!" Applebloom shouted as the group ran through a fountain. "Oh, why didn't you say so!" Original Daemon said. He put the fountain back together. "Didn't you see us get all panicky back there? So, what's up?" "Your head never gave us our hint!" Scootaloo said." "It was names. Cutie marks usually match names, but some ponies are different than their names, so just do what you are good at." Daemon explained. "So, other than names matching, we get whatever the everypony else said to us." Scootaloo said. "Well, he does have a point. We just did random things and we don't have our cutie marks yet, so what do we have the most fun doing?" Sweetie Belle asked her friends. "We like crusading." Applebloom said. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CRUSADERS YAY!" The three fillies said in unison. then they ran off. "We have doomed the world, haven't we?" Blue Daemon asked. "Oh definitely." Green Daemon said.
Chapter 1 - LegendsOnce upon a time, in the world of Terraria, there were four heroes. Omniblade, a hero in Hallowed armor who wields a Legendary Excalibur. Tsunami, a heroine in Mythril armor (the one with the green hood) who wields a Megashark minigun. SkySummon, a mage who can summon up the creatures fought time before (but can never control them) who wields a star cannon. And finally Daemon (pronounced Day Mon), their new recruit to their group who wields a variety of adamantine weapons (and the star boomerang things) and wears adamantine armor. The others are split on whether he is insane but focuses his insanity towards the bad guys, or just likes his job as a hero a bit too much. Each hero possess a pair of wings and a variety of items, which they use to protect the world from dangers. But then they faced a being too tough for them. They fought, and died, and fought again, until this beast decided it was done fooling around and banished them to another realm, then left as if nothing happened. New heroes took up their swords of copper and set out to grow into the mightiest of heroes. But they will never be like these heroes. Author's Note This chapter was told by the dryad.
