Ash's P.O.V 11 am Ponyville Hospital

I woke up with a pounding headache and a few voices continued to rattle around in my head I slowly picked myself up out of the bed and saw I was in the Ponyville hospital. I nursed my head and got up before I looked for my clothes and saw them sitting on a chair perfectly cleaned and when I stretched my wing I saw it was perfectly healed. I then got cleaned up and changed into my clothes before I was told my armour was already been taken home by someone and the fee for my treatment had been taking care of.

I then looked at the clock and saw the time and tried to figure out what to do I then remembered the house Ethen built on the summit of Canterlot Mountain and he was planning on giving me a tour. So with my decision set I walked out of the hospital and flew into the air before I turned to Canterlot and flew off. After a few minutes I landed in the driveway and walked up to the door and knocked after about a minute waiting the door opened to reveal Ethen.

"Morning miss I was told there was a tour on today mind if I participate," I said.

"Well come on in." Ethen said as she motioned her hand for me to follow.

Ethen lead me inside and showed me the house till we reached the kitchen and the smell of breakfast wafted into my nose causing my stomach to growl.

"Sorry hadn't had breakfast," I said.

"Help yourself then. There's plenty for the three of us." Ethan said as she sat down.

"Much appreciated how've you been Evo?" I asked.

"I've been good." he said as he flipped some bacon.

"So anything happen while I was out cold?" I asked.

"Yea Evo installed a security system along with a room to go with it a training room, a weapons room and a room to practice battle in." she said as she grabbed another piece of toast.

"I see sounds like you guys have been busy," I said as I sat down and loaded up a plate of food and began to eat.

"So what are we doing today?" Ethan asked as she let the toast hang from her mouth.

"Actually I'm going back to Sunny Town today," I said.

"Why would you want to go back?" Ethen asked.

"Well...There's a mare back there who saved me she warned me about the curse and got me out in time even though she was also cursed herself. She wasn't a monster like the others she was kinder she was more intact then the other blanks which I found out from Epsilon while I was unconscious the more decayed you were the more of a monster you are. And that mare Mitta was perfectly intact. I said before a flood of voices entered my head and I saw words fluttering around my vision before they cleared up.

"You okay?" Evo asked.

"Yeah...fine but anyway back to the main topic I'm going back today to help Mitta escape that curse maybe even find out why it was set up in the first place and I'd like you all to come along. I've already asked Rage and he should be there soon and if you guys came this would go along much easier," I said.

"Sorry I can't I have to work on the security systems." Evo said.

"I understand and you Ethen? I asked.

"Yea I'm good I just have to get dressed." Ethen said as she got up and walked to the stairs. "Do you want to see the fourth floor?”

"Sorry I need to get back and set up some toys you might like I'll even be happy to show you how to make some of your own later if you wish," I said.

"Sure. I need to get ready anyways." she said as she got up and headed for the stairs.

"See ya later then," I said before I placed my plate in the sink and washed it before I gave a nod to Evo for the meal and left.

I walked out of the house and flew to the Everfree entrance and snapped my fingers summoning a large duffle bag and pulled out a few springrazors a shotgun for Ethen some smoke bombs for a quick escape if necessary. I then pulled out a few rope darts and finally along with some other stuff. After I checked everything I gave a nod of satisfaction before I suddenly heard whispering and words appeared in my vision again.

"Kill,"

"Burn Them,"

"Destroy Them All,"

End Their Party,"

"Make Them Pay,"

The words and voices went on in my head and I was clutching my head with both hands in pain.

"Ash."

I spun around and saw Rage was standing behind me with on and a worried look on his face and his swords on his hips.

"Dude you alright?" Rage asked.

"Oh...yeah just fine head felt like it was on fire and was being crushed in a vice that's all," I said.

"Alright I've noticed you're packing a bit of gear here," Rage said.

"Oh yeah Ethen's going to join us on our trip into Sunny Town today and I would like you to join me," I said.

"Ash we got out of that death trap just yesterday and you already want to go back in you'd have to be crazier than both The Joker and Discord combined," Rage said.

"Rage there's a cursed mare in there that saved my ass and I want to help save her from her curse," I said causing Rage to stand in silence for a few moments before he sighed.

"Alright when do we leave?" Rage asked.

"Soon as Ethen gets here," I said.

"Did someone say my name?"

I looked and saw Ethen a few yards away wearing the same clothes as before but instead of bandages she was wearing a pink sports bra and had two weapons strapped to her back that looked familiar.

"Well speak of the succubus," Rage said with a laugh.

"Hey Ethen nice toys you got," I said.

"Hey to you too Rage. And yea these shotguns are from one of my favourite games. Black Ops 3. They're the Argus and the KRM-262," Ethen said after she pulled the guns off her back.

"Oh that explains why those two look familiar but also I brought you a gift don't need to worry about reloading and also it has three sets one for each barrel. You've got the blast set, stun set and destruction set all accessible by a flick of a switch next to the trigger. Problem is the last one's blast heats up the barrel so needs a few seconds to cool down," I said as I tossed Ethen the shotgun.

Ethan snapped her fingers making the Argus disappear before she caught the gun and looked it over turning around and inspecting it.

"Nice toy." Ethen said with a smirk as she placed the gun on her back.

"Glad you like it cause it's yours now also I have some other nice things for you and I also want to give you something back that my guards confiscated off you," I said as I tossed her satchel back to her full of springrazors and other goods before I summoned a stylish belt that made Ethen's eyes light up in surprise.

"Whoa cool belt," Rage said before he snatched it out of my hand only for it to hit the floor and crush the ground. "The fuck how can you wear this thing!"

"Same way I can when I'm wearing my armour were both strong enough to wield it," I said as I grabbed the belt Rage was struggling to lift with ease and handed it back to Ethen.

"I was wondering wear my belt and satchel went," she said as she put the belt on and clicked her tongue causing the satchel to disappear before her put the belt on. I then watched as she hoped in the air a few times before giving a nod.

"Y'know I was actually confused as to why seven guards were carrying that thing like a sacred treasure till I held it almost weighs as much as my helmet alone," I said before summoned my helmet and tossed it to Ethen. When Ethen caught it she was surprised by the weight on it before she tossed it back to me.

"Yea it weighs about two tons," she said causally.

"I know but the chest plate weighs twice that or more and the rest of my armour is the same so imagine trying to carry all that around all day," I said.

"Okay we get it you're both got the strength of gods now can you both quit showing off and go save this zombie mare that saved Ash?" Rage asked.

"Yeah he's right we're wasting daylight c'mon," I said as I gestured for the others to follow.

"Allons-y!" Ethan shouted as she ran in front of us.

We walked for several minutes into the forest before I decided to strike up a conversation with Ethen.

"Hey Ethen," I started.

"Yea," Ethen said.

"Luna tells me that you're Luna hasn't modernised herself just yet and I was wondering what your Luna is like?" I asked.

"Oh uh she still uses the royal we and the olden English. Our timeline isn't where yours is we just got through the wedding invasion." she said with a sad look on her face.

"I see...Ethen I want to make you a blood oath," I said.

"Why?" Ethen asked.

"Does it matter?" I asked as I cut my right hand with a hidden blade and extended it towards her.

"Guess it doesn't." she said as she brought her hand to her mouth and bit down on her thumb drawing blood.

"Ethen I promise you that you will be seeing your Luna again alive and well and when I do figure out a way to get both you and Evo back I will come along with you and help bring an end to the caribou and I will not fall to anything until this promise is kept," I said as I gripped her hand and shook it.

"Got it," Ethen said as she nodded.

"Also I've also been meaning to ask but how did you become a god of death?" I asked.

"Believe it not, it was handed to me by god. Though I never told anyone about this, during our imprisonment in stone I went to the astral plane and found this giant rock wall with a depiction of a man In a Stetson and a trench coat would be the death of everyone. Then a man came up behind me and said that I could change it. When I turned around that man was Morgan Freeman. I asked him who he was and he said that he was God. Of course I didn't believe him, and he said that the only reason he was like was because that was my interpretation of what he looked like. We talked for a little while and he said that it was depicted that a young man from a different world would one day come to their world and kill them all. I wasn't like that and I could never kill the Innocent." Ethen paused before she spoke again. "No one in my Equestria knows of this prophecy because it came around before it was even created forgotten in time as they say. So he gave me the power of death and said that I had to keep track of everyone's death and help them into the afterlife. I haven't heard from him in a hundred and fifty years."

"Whoa that phew that's deep," Rage said.

"Y'know I'm constantly told that there’s a prophesy about me but I don't know what it is and it's said I could die before it's complete," I said.

"I know I said the same thing to him Evo did too and Ash how is it a prophecy then?" she asked.

"Doesn't make sense I know but somehow it makes sense to both The Outsider and Heartless," I said.

"I can't stand The Outsider I hate his riddles now who's Heartless?" Ethen asked.

"Don't we all and I would have thought someone would have told you but anyway Heartless is a problem around here he's the demon king I even had a small encounter with him which ended with him beating me as if I was a ragdoll. After I lost conscious I promised myself to get stronger so that I won't fall that easily again and that when both Heartless and I fight again I will either win or take him down with me," I said.

"Lovely talk you guys are having but I want to know something Ethen if you're a god of death then where does the reaper come into it," Rage asked.

"Are you talking about taking people’s souls or my scythe?" she asked.

"That would be the one only wears a black cloak and hood that conceals the face in darkness," Rage said.

"Oh, well as a Shinigami I can break parts of my power off to go and collect the souls. And in the future don't say that all deaths wear a black cloak and hood its offensive." Ethen said.

"Ouch sorry," Rage said with a dismissive wave.

"Sorry about him he's been like that since he first got in here," I said as I tapped my head.

"S'fine I'm used to it but it was just a warning for if you meet your grim reaper here now anything you two want to ask me?" she said while looking back and forth between us.

"Uh actually yeah and this going to sound very stupid," I said.

"Go ahead." she said with a sigh.

"In your opinion what god would both Rage and I be?" I asked but Ethen only stared at me. "I know pretty dumb thing to ask just forget it."

I watched as she brought her right hand up to her chin and started to stroke it and Ethan was quite for a few seconds before speaking.

"I can't think of one for you Ash but Rage with the way you act you could be the god of vengeance," Ethen said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"God of Vengeance I like that title goes with the other title Knight of Vengeance but I wish you luck on figuring out a title for Ash cause he ain't a god or a devil, so what do you call a guy whose both?" Rage asked as he ruffled the top of my head hard.

"Shove off Rage and I think the word would be deity although I could be wrong," I said.

Ethan walked in silence for a few minutes before she spoke.

"In all honesty I can't think of one." Ethen said with a shrug.

"It's not a problem Ethen after all it's not very important to me or...," I started before I began to look around.

"Do you hear that?" Ethen asked.

"Yeah...company," I said before I turned around. "Alright you lot come on out we know you're there."

One by one the mane 6 plus Gilda, Celestia and Luna revealed themselves.

"Why were you following us, how did you know we were coming out here and how much did you hear?" Ethan asked with crossed arms.

"Didn't hear much and to answer the other question it’s because you weren't honest with us yesterday and I gotta say you're pretty decent liar. But you need to make sure your voice don't go up half an octave Ethen," Applejack said.

"Now tell me why you lot followed us out here?" Ethen asked.

"We became suspicious of your behaviour when Applejack told us about you lying about what happened to Ash," Celestia said.

"Now come clean why are you all out here?" Twilight demanded.

I looked at both Rage and Ethen and saw them looking at me before I gave a nod.

"Well Twi the reason why I was actually out here is because I heard the Templars were chasing an old mare’s tale called The Blanks," I said.

"Oh not this again I keep telling Apple Bloom that the story is just a dream," Applejack said.

"Same with Sweetie Belle," Rarity said.

"Well I came to learn that the legend is actually true," I said causing the group to go silent. "I stumbled across a place called Sunny Town that's where the blanks live during the day. Everything seems happy and full of smiles but when night roles around...Well you don't want to be there when that happens."

"Yea, you really don't." Ethan said.

"Then why are you going back," Luna asked.

"Because there's a mare in that town that warned me to leave before it got ugly even though she was also cursed. She also did the same for Apple Bloom as well," I said.

"Ash curses don't exist," Twilight said.

"Just like ghosts huh Twi," Rage said.

"Your gonna bring that up whenever I say something doesn't exist?" Twilight asked.

"Yep," Rage and I said.

"Do I even want to ask?" Ethan said as she looked between Twilight and me.

"She kept saying the first Knights of Equestria's ghosts weren't real and I ended up proving Twilight wrong. But, anyway we're wasting daylight we need to get a move on and you guys need to go back," I said as I pointed to the new group.

"No way Ash if you're going were going," Gilda said stepping forward.

I looked at the others and saw they weren't backing down from their decision.

"Fine but I'm only allowing you to come because we can't waste any more time here and on our way there you lot need to work on your stealth skills cause you all clearly suck at it," I said before I turned around and began to walk further into the forest.

6:30 pm On a Ledge Overlooking Sunny Town

Couldn't get here any sooner could we," Rage said.

"We would've if Rarity wasn't complaining about the mud every time she stepped in some and insisted that we stopped.

"*scoffs* I simply cannot allow myself to get my hooves dirty in front of the princesses," Rarity said.

"Oh Faust, women no matter what universe you go to they don't change." Ethan said with a huff.

"Excuse me miss but I am a lady and a mare at that," Rarity said.

"Rarity Ethen here is actually the guy with the Stetson who crashed here with his brother and he became a chick after he resurrected himself," I said.

"Well that explains his terrible sense of fashion the only thing decent on him is that belt," Rarity said.

I saw Ethen was about to show Rarity some manners but I stopped her before I spoke.

"Rarity I highly suggest you watch what you say in front of Ethen otherwise I'll sew you muzzle shut," I said causing the unicorn to shudder.

"Resurrect yourself how in the hay can you resurrect yourself," Rainbow asked.

"Ethen here is basically a god or in this case goddess of death," I said causing the mares and griffon to stare at Ethen in shock.

"I'm not bragging." Ethen said.

"Hey changing the subject here how are we supposed to see what's going on there are too many trees in the way to see a lot," Rage said.

"Calm down Rage I can teleport us down there no problem but you all need to follow my directions perfectly am I understood," I said causing the others to nod but Applejack raised her hand.

"So how do we find this mare that saved you and my sister?" Applejack asked.

"She has a grey coat along with a red mane and tail and when the curse takes affect she's the only one still with a mane and tail and her coat would be lighter than the others. And speaking of the curse it should take effect as soon as the moon comes up," I said as I looked at Luna.

"I'm afraid we are out of time Ash we have to preform our duties immediately," Luna said.

"Then do so but I'm not leaving Mitta here for another night," I said.

"Awe shoot I kinda owe this Mitta too for saving Apple Bloom," Applejack said.

"We'll if AJ ain't backing down then I ain't either," Rainbow said.

"Yeah we handled zombies before bring em on," Gilda said.

"We're all with you," Twilight said earning words from agreement from the others.

"Rage, Ethen you both still wanna come?" I asked.

"We're walking right into an undead nest to save a pony and we a greatly outnumbered...I'm so in," Rage said.

"I'm game." Ethan said with a smirk.

I gave a nod before I teleported us all behind a house in the town I looked around the ruined town and saw a couple of Blanks and Blood Hooves walking in the same direction. When I looked I saw there was a party going on.

"Seriously these guys are having a party again what's the deal," I said.

"Did someone say party?" Pinkie asked before she zoomed around the corner.

I managed to grab Pinkie by the tail and yank her behind the wall again and held her there.

"Pinkie what did I say about stealth if one of these guys so much as see you we're dead," I said.

"Heh, heh oops," Pinkie said.

"So where now Ash?" Celestia asked

"I heard that Mitta spends her time in front of a house on the outskirts of the village which means there should be a path somewhere around the edge that leads into the forest," I said.

"You mean like that one near the party," Pinkie asked.

I peeked out from behind the wall with Ethen and saw she was right a small opening in the trees with a path on the ground.

"Good eye Pinkie," I said as I gestured for everyone to follow me.

We ran behind buildings to avoid being seen till we came to the last building before the path I was about to look around the corner but stopped when I saw a shadow approach. I gestured for everyone to stop and I saw the shadow turn to its left away from us before I peeked out and saw Three Leaf with an empty punch bowl.

"Appears this year's donators were quite good," Three Leaf said.

I looked at the table and saw the punch bowl was on it and on closer inspection I saw rotting pony flesh and a few mane or tail hairs all different coloured and I think a hand. Three Leaf then wringed out the flesh causing blood to fall into the bowl before she added the hair and chopped up the hand and tossed it in as well. The sight of this was disgusting and made me furious at the mare for doing this my right hand became demonic and Death Fire burned around it and the words and voices in my head returned again and I was about to comply to the demands and requests when I felt a hand stop me. I looked and saw it was Rage so I breathed calmly and my arm returned to normal and the Death Fire dispersed before the voices and words ceased.

"And how is my undead bunny?"

I looked around the corner and saw Gladstone had arrived and he began kissing Three Leaf but not a simple peck but a full on tongue battle. How could I tell the holes in the sides of their mouths showed their tongues sliding into each other’s mouth. And if it wasn't bad enough I saw their tongues go up where their eyes would be and down the others throat it could be considered swallowing them.

I ripped myself away from the scene and covered my mouth and puked into it and Rage also clamped a hand on my mouth. I swallowed my vomit but kept my hand over my mouth and nodded to Rage in thanks.

"We'd better get back to the party I just finished the batch," Three Leaf said.

I saw the two walk away and once they were out of both sight and earshot I spat the foul taste in my mouth on the ground.

"That was the most disgusting thing I've ever had the horror of witnessing I swear it's going to give me nightmares for weeks. And I won't be able to drink punch for a while after that," I said.

"Oh it couldn't have been that bad," Rainbow said but I gave her a glare. "Ok maybe it was."

"So shall we continue?" Rage asked.

"Yeah just let me get myself together first," I said as I took a breath and walked into the forest.

We walked for a few minutes and I saw a dark house that had seen better days and looked abandoned. Suddenly images appeared before my head of Ruby running towards the house before it cleared up and placed a hand on my head.

"Ash are you alright?" Luna asked in worry.

"Yeah...I'm fine," I said.

"Are you sure we can take a break," Celestia said.

"I'm fine besides there's the mare I came to rescue," I said as I gestured to Mitta who was sitting in front of the door with her head looking up at the starry sky above through a hole in the trees. "Stargazing Mitta?"

Mitta then looked at me and smiled before she got up and ran over before she gave me a hug.

"Ash I am so relieved that you’re safe," Mitta said as I returned the hug.

"Hey no Blood Hooves can take me down so easily but I did have some help," I said.

"Um who are they?" Mitta asked before I stepped out of the hug.

"Oh allow me to introduce you Mitta I'd like you to meet Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Gilda, Applejack, Ethen, my brother Burning Rage, Princess Celestia and finally my marefriend Princess Luna. Everyone I'd like you all to meet Mitta," I said gesturing to everyone.

"Howdy Miss Mitta I wanna thank ya for saving my little sister Apple Bloom," Applejack said.

"Oh you're Apple Blooms sister I'm sorry that she got mixed up in this," Mitta said.

"Don't fret none she's perfectly fine as well made it out thanks to you," Applejack said.

"No offence but I don't feel worthy of your gratitude Miss Applejack...Wait a second why are you all here the curse is in effect how's you get past everyone?" Mitta asked.

"Oh we snuck behind the houses" Ethan said as she pointed to the houses in question.

"And as for why we are here it's because we're going to get rid of this curse on you," I said.

I was expecting and overjoyed expression however Mitta just bowed her head sorrowfully before she looked back up to me with bloodied tears.

"Ash...Do you...Do you know why we were cursed in the first place?" Mitta asked.

"It was for some kind of crime yes?" I asked.

"Yes but do you know what we did?" Mitta asked.

"No the book wasn't very clear on that," I said.

"The evidence is inside you’ll find the answers you seek there," Mitta said as she pointed to the house.

I walked over to the house and gestured for the others to follow and once I reached the door I saw several kick marks on the door from either hooves or other objects like someone tried to break inside. I placed a hand on a mark and I saw Gladstone and Roneo trying to kick down the door while others watched and Mitta stood off to the side before my vision came back to normal. I then pushed open the door and it let out a groaning creek before I walked inside and let my eyes adjust to the darkness. The moonlight coming through the cracks and holes in the house showed the cottage was one room with two overturned beds and an overturned table.

I summoned an orb of light to get a better view of the room and I saw a large blotch of stains in the corner and on the walls. I carefully walked over to the strange blotch and kneeled in front of it and saw it was black in this light. But, when I brushed my hand against it and brought it up to my face I saw the colour had changed to dark shade red causing my eyes to widen in horror.

"Ash is that..." Ethen said trailing off.

"Blood," I said causing the others to let out small gasps.

I then noticed a trail of dried blood and followed it over to the fireplace that was on the left side of the cottage. I then kneeled in front of it and saw something mixed in with the ashes. They were scorched black with carbon residue giving a clear sign they had been exposed to intense heat and flames. However, it seemed that a fire had not been set here in quite a while. One piece seemed a bit off to me cause It was somewhat round so taking a deep breath I reached in and picked it up to closely examine it. I found the shape odd and saw had cracks in it and a jaggered hole but one thing about it did catch my eye though. On one side there were two surprisingly large perfectly shaped holes in it. Suddenly, I realized that I was holding someponies skull and the rest of the chunks in the fireplace was the rest of the skeleton.

Suddenly, the fireplace came to life with fire causing my land on my butt in surprise and I then looked at the skull that was on the floor and saw it was still as stone. I then saw a flaming hand reach out of it and Ethen then picked up the skull and handed it to the flaming hand. I then saw it was placed where I picked it up before the flaming hand reached out to me once more. Taking a breath I held out my hand and a flaming finger touched my hand which felt warm. Suddenly, my head was filled with visions of Ruby hiding in the same corner where the blood stains were before the door opened and the Sunny Town ponies charged in and began beating Ruby to death.

When the visions ended I scrambled to my feet and away from the fireplace which had stopped burning and up against a wall placing a hand on my racing heart. The others crowded around me they then helped me sit down against the wall and when I looked at Mitta who was sitting on the ground looking at me in sorrow.

"Mitta...Was...Was that R-Ruby?" I asked pointing to the fireplace causing everyone to look at me in confusion except for Mitta.

"Hang on whose Ruby?" Rainbow asked.

"She was my daughter," Mitta said in a sad tone.

"Wait that was your daughter?" Twilight asked.

"Miss Mitta what happened here?" Celestia demanded.

"It was a long time ago the day was like any other and we were preparing for a party. My daughter Ruby was looking for something a friend of ours named Roneo lost who he was going to give to his love Starlet. But, when she found it a mark appeared on her shoulder," Mitta said.

"A cutie mark oh what was it?" Pinkie Pie interrupted causing us to glare at her before Mitta continued.

"Anyway in our village there were no cutie marks and the only time we got them was when the cutie pox struck killing many members of the town. So to avoid contamination we sent the infected away however when my daughter got her mark many feared that the cutie pox disease had returned. But when everyone gathered to send her away Grey Hoof then ordered to get rid of her to stop Ruby 'from ruining the party’ Ruby fled to the house and everyone followed Grey Hoof who is in charge of the town ordered the door to be broken down. But, it was too strong Grey Hoof then asked me for a second key and I gave it to them on condition that they wouldn't hurt her but I was a fool for believing them. When the door unlocked they all ran in and...beat her to death and *sob* tossed her body in the fireplace and burned it...I could've stopped them but...I was afraid and after that Queen Faust cursed us all to this fate till we've all repented for what we had done," Mitta said earning a few gasps from the royal siblings and others while any sympathy I had for the ponies of Sunny Town was tossed into the inferno know as hell

"Well aren't you a wonderful mother huh allowing your own foal to be beat_," Rainbow never got to finish before I teleported next to her and punched her in the jaw knocking her to the ground while everyone stared at me in shock.

"You don't get to fucking say that Rainbow imagine if you were in Mitta's place and Scootaloo was in Ruby's while one of us was beating her to death what would you do?" I asked while Rainbow stared in shock. "The same goes to Rarity and Sweetie Belle, Applejack and Apple Bloom even me and my sons. The choice would be an extremely hard one to make so don't sell it off as if it would be easy."

The room was silent as everyone processed my words before I looked at Mitta.

"You see why we deserve this punishment Ash?" Mitta asked.

"I see why they deserve this punishment and more but not you Mitta cause you see I was in a similar position as you. Back in my world around 1888 London I was a boy looking for a place to sleep when I heard a scream. I saw a woman running along with a figure chasing her so I ran after the pair and saw the two struggling over a knife. The figure wore a mask over his face but I knew the killer as the mass murderer Jack the Ripper I saw a way I could help but I couldn't move because I was scared. And in the end I saw the Ripper gut the woman and began ripping out organ after organ from her body and I heard him laughing the entire time. Managing to pull myself together I ran but I couldn't run from the nightmares that plagued me night after night till finally I decided to take my own life to make it stop. But before I could I was visited by the spirit of the woman who was murdered and three little words from her seemed to make everything better. 'Don't blame yourself.' After that I woke unsure if it was a dream or reality but I know those thee words freed me from my guilt and so I'm going to say the same thing as I'm sure Ruby would Mitta don't blame yourself," I said

Mitta then sat in silence before she looked at me with blood tear eyes.

"Ash...Do you really think I've done enough to be saved?" Mitta asked.

"First you saved Apple Bloom then you saved me honestly Mitta would I have bothered going out of my way to come out here to the middle of the Everfree Forest if you weren’t?” I scolded her.

“I guess that goes without saying…” Mitta said as she slowly climbed to her hooves, “OK… I’ll…go with you but do you really think there’s somepony out there who knows how to lift the curse?”

"We can go see the mare who cast it in the first place Queen Faust herself," I said.

“But…The Queen was furious that we did such an unspeakable act!” Mitta panicked clearly showing some fear when I mentioned the name.

"Leave that part to me okay I promise we can straight this out easily," I said.

"Very well," Mitta agreed hesitantly.

I then gave a nod before I looked at the fireplace and thought.

"Mitta would you like me to quickly make a coffin for Ruby's remains for a proper burial later?" I asked

Mitta seemed overjoyed and quickly nodded and I made a coffin out of a few pieces of wood and some magic. Meanwhile Ethen used his magic to fix the broken bones and clean them before he placed them inside the coffin and once we were done I placed a sun and moon rose over Ruby's skeletal ribcage and sealed the coffin. We walked out of the cottage and I led everyone to the town and we all stopped before we left the shadow of the forest.

"Hey guys you mind taking care of the coffin for me," I asked as I used my magic to set the coffin on the ground.

"Wait a sec are you going out there to fight them all?" Gilda asked.

"Your damn right I am after what I've seen can you honestly say I'll sit by while they celebrate day after day of them killing Ruby?" I asked.

"Just who the hell do you think I am I'm not sitting around while someone who doesn't deserve to be cursed is." Ethen said with a smirk that showed her canines.

"Same here for something like this to happen and as the Knight of Vengeance I can't let this pass by unpunished," Rage said.

"*sigh* Looks like you all have you're minds set you'd better get going before I change my mind," Celestia said.

Luna gave me a kiss on the lips for luck before Rage and I summoned our armour and weapons but I held my helmet under my arm before we walked out into plain view of the party. It wasn't long before we were noticed by everyone and they all looked nervous of all the armour and weapons we were carrying.

"Oh hello again Ash I didn't know you were here," Grey Hoof said.

"I was actually here to collect Mitta not that it's any of your business," I said in a cold tone.

"Oh I'm sorry for sticking my nose in your business," Grey Hoof said before his muzzle fell off and he reattached it to his face. "But who are your friends and will you be joining us for the party?"

"This is my brother Burning Rage and this is a friend of mine called Ethen and we were actually leaving along with Mitta. And we're never coming back to this place cause we don't want to hang out with sick twisted monsters like you," I said with enough venom to kill two hydra's

"Monsters now that's a bit harsh Ash," Grey Hoof said genuinely shocked by my words.

"I believed you all earned that title when you beat an innocent filly to death!" I growled.

“Oh, Ruby a shame what happened she was cursed with the mark it came outta nowhere so we had to take swift action. She had the mark so she had to go before she could ruin the party,” Grey Hoof said with a care free smile that got my blood boiling. Rage let out a growl and Ethen placed his hands on Shi while I placed my helmet on my head as the voices and words in my head appeared.

"It appears that you're beyond redemption now but before I do anything I have something to show you," I said before I aimed my right shoulder at them and used my magic to move the armour around my shoulder out of the way. I then cast a see through spell on my sleeve revealing my cutie mark to the cursed ponies earning cries of shock from the murders.

Ash...You have the mark...," Grey Hoof said in shock.

"He's not the only one I have one too," Rage said he revealed his.

"Don't forget about me." Ethan said as she pulled her jacket down far enough to see her cutie mark. It was a black shield with a silver lining and it had two katanas crossed across it.

I glared at Grey Hoof as I put my armour back in place along with Rage but I saw The Blanks eyes get brighter in rage it was almost scary.

"Deceivers...You come into our village with that curse!" Grey Hoof shouted in anger while Ethen, Rage and I could only laugh.

"Oh that's real funny coming from someone who's been cursed to walk the planet as an undead," I said.

"Well we certainly can't let you go now when we're done with making you're new body you'll be creating new ones for your friends back there," Grey Hoof said.

I looked behind me and saw the others had revealed themselves before I looked back at Grey Hoof.

"You're so proud of your parties Grey Hoof but I've got something to say to you this party is over Rage...sick em," I said.

"Finally!" Rage shouted before he charged in swords blazing but Grey Hoof ran off.

"Go wild Ethen," I said.

"With pleasure." Ethan said with a sadistic grin on her face that slightly unnerved me.

I just walked forward listened to the voices and words in my head and summoned all the blood the pair spilled and used it to create a gatling gun on my left arm after I selected a song on my IPod.

I aimed my gatling gun at the zombies and unleashed a hail of bullets onto them shredding many that ran at me. Once I ran out of bullets I tossed the gun away and saw a Blood Hoof had jumped into the air to my right. But I simply pulled out a rope dart and flung the rope end at the Blood Hoof and used my magic to tie a noose around his neck and tossed the dart over a beam of wood that was hanging from a house. I then teleported to the other side of the beam and caught the dart before I gave it a yank hoisting the zombie into the air and dug the dart into the wall of the building. I then pulled out my scythes and connected the hilts together before I swung it at a few zombies and twirled it around behind my back. I then slammed the end of the weapon onto the ground causing all the spilled blood around me to turn into spikes and impale many Blood Hooves and blanks. I the twisted the scythes around turning it into a double ended scythes and tossed it into the horde which ended up getting stuck in a wall of a house.

An idea suddenly came to mind and I ran towards the building while shooting any zombies with Damnation and my shotgun before I put them away and leaped onto the scythe. But instead of me bouncing off the scythe like a springboard I managed to pull the whole house out of the ground and I grabbed the scythe and tossed into the mass of death. The house flew off my scythe and rolled across the town and in front of Ethen and flattened his prey and all eyes watched as the house crashed into another house and stopped.

Ethen then looked at me and made a ‘what the hell’ gesture with his hands while I just shrugged. I then put my scythe away and made a pair of chainsaw blades on my arms and chainsaw chains on my legs and zoomed my way over to more of the horde. I then began to cut them apart with a grin on my face that was hidden behind my helmet.

"Traitor!"

I skidded to a stop and looked at the source of the voice and saw Roneo was the one who spoke and Starlet was next to him.

"You come here and pretend to be our friend I'll be certain to gouge your eyes out," Starlet said.

"You know you two have a funny way of showing gratitude when Ruby found you little gem Roneo you thank her by murdering her. Pfft some friend you can call yourself," I said.

Roneo and Starlet then charged at me Roneo was faster. But I just dodged left and saw Starlet almost in front of me but I simply raised my left leg in front of me and the chainsaw chain turned into long red spikes where Starlet impaled herself on. I then stomped my foot down ripping her ribcage apart and severed her head from her shoulders.

"Bastard...You DIE!" Romeo screamed as he tried to take a bite out of me

I moved away from Roneo as his mouth closed and I raised my right chainsaw blade into the air and brought it down on Roneo's right shoulder and cut downward to his stomach and then cut to the left taking a massive chunk out of Roneo. I then heard someone scream and saw it was the mares and Gilda and they were being cornered by a ton of Blood Hooves. Suddenly my left hand became demonic and I pointed at the ground in front of the girls and a few pits like when I first met the Blood Hooves opened in front of them. A few Blood Hooves ran over the pit but many long black spindly arms grabbed them and dragged them down into the pit.

"You’re dead!"

I looked behind me and saw Gladstone charging at me like an angry bull but I simply placed my boot in front of me and saw his head connect to my boot and he managed to push me back a bit. I then used my leg act like a spring and pushed him away and onto his back before I placed a boot on his chest and drew Damnation and double tapped Gladstone one in each eye.

I then noticed the others then noticed me and I was about to wave but then they shouted at me about something behind me and when I turned around I saw a zombie had lunged at me. Its mouth wide open and aimed at me and out of instinct I raised my right arm and closed my eyes before I hoped this zombie wouldn't get to my flesh. But instead of a zombie’s weight on me or my arm I felt a charge of power and a blood curdling scream and something sizzle before I opened my eyes. I saw my right arm had become angelic and a shining white glowing holy cross almost as big as I am attached to it and behind me I saw singed bits of the zombie and the others were staring at me in shock.

I then smiled at my arm before I looked at the zombies and saw them back away in fear and pain of the holy glow. I then charged into the horde and any Blood Hoof in my way was vaporized. Once I made it through the mass of undead I decided to test my power I charged some energy into my right hand again and the cross disappeared only to leave behind a silver chakram and with ancient engravings on it that were glowing gold.

"Oh yeah let's see how this flies," I said as I tossed the chakram at the Blood Hooves

The chakram turned white and cut through the zombies like a hot knife through butter and bounced off objects and into more Blood Hooves before it came back to me. I then held it to cut down any more of the undead and once that was done I looked around and saw the remaining Blood Hooves were dead. I then looked at the chakram and saw it disappear before I looked at the damage it did and saw a Blood Hoof still moving. As I walked over to it I saw it was Grey Hoof and my chakram managed to cut him along his waist.

"What have you done you killed everyone all my friends how can I continue the party?" Grey Hoof asked as he tried to crawl away from me but I used my foot to kick him onto his back.

"Easy you can continue in hell," I said.

"Wait Ash think about it it's not too late you and your friends could become like us we'll protect you forever," Grey Hoof said.

"Y'know I just might become your friend Grey Hoof," I said causing him to smile evilly. "But only after you experience what you did to Ruby and by the way Pinkie holds more awesome parties then yours."

Grey Hoof's smile faded as I lifted my boot and crushed his head with a single blow. Once I was done the others came over to me as I removed my helmet and spat on Grey Hoof's corpse.

"Trash," Ethan said with a sneer as she looked at Grey Hoof.

"Okay what was that Ash a halo!?" Rage asked.

"Truly a powerful weapon Ash," Celestia said.

"Yeah I'm amazed on how I did all that," I said looking at my right arm.

Suddenly I saw Three Leaf jump off a roof and was onto us but I felt something yank my shotgun off my back and saw Mitta aim it at Three Leaf. She then pulled the trigger and blew Three Leaf out of the air with a missing head but Mitta also blew off her arm from the recoil of the shotgun.

"Dumb bitch," Mitta said before she retrieved her arm and handed me my shotgun.

"Okay I'm beginning to like her," Rainbow said.

Suddenly I felt a strange sensation around me and I saw all the souls that I absorbed before with our earlier encounter with the Blood Hooves had appeared around us. But, each one was in a pony form before they became Blood Hooves.

"Okay what's going on," Gilda said.

"They're the zombies we encountered yesterday and they're the ones I obliterated," Ethan said.

"And each ones soul was absorbed into me yesterday causing me to black out and they were all whispering desires for vengeance against the Blood Hooves and The Blanks," I said.

The souls then bowed to me before they faded into nothing.

"Whooaa trippy," Rage said

"We'd better get out of here the residents of the town will be back by morning," Mitta said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa they'll be back as in they'll all be back when?" Rage asked.

"Sunrise tomorrow and only the ones that were truly cursed meaning I'll also be dragged back here unless the curse is removed," Mitta said.

"No worries I can have us in Canterlot as fast as you can blink," I said before I teleported everyone to the throne room. Luckily the only ones here was the royal family and Amalthea who all happened to jump in surprise when we appeared.

"Oh by Aephoceria don't startle me like that," Faust said.

"Aephoceria what does that mean your highness?" Twilight asked.

"It's the name of my kingdom Twi," I said.

"Oh I can see you brought someone new...although she could use a bath," Discord said as he appeared from behind Mitta and gave her a whiff.

Mitta recoiled in surprise from Discord but then exposed herself to Faust's line of sight and when Faust saw Mitta her eyes narrowed dangerously on her.

"What Are You Doing Here!?" Faust shouted causing Mitta to cower in fear.

"Hold on Faust she’s with us listen we were wondering if you could help lift Mitta’s curse," I said.

"Ash I placed that curse on Sunny Town for a reason only to be removed until the whole town has repented for what it's done. So if she's still like this it means the town has not repented for their sin," Faust said.

"Look I know but listen Mitta here saved my life also Applejacks sister Apple Bloom," I said causing Faust's face to soften.

I was about to speak again but I was cut off by a new voice in the room.

"Please your majesty please undo this curse for my mommy."

I then saw the source of the voice was peeping out from behind Ethen's head and saw Ruby.

"Ruby...is...is that you?" Mitta cried.

"Hi mommy," Ruby smiled as she waved.

"Uh Ruby you mind hoping off my friends head?" I asked.

"Sure Ash," Ruby said before she hopped onto the ground and ran through Ethen's leg and Embraced Mitta who was crying.

"My precious daughter I'm so, so sorry," Mitta cried.

"It's alright mommy I'm not mad at you," Ruby said.

I then looked a Faust and saw her stand up and walk down the throne stairs and stopped before Mitta and Ruby. With a wave of her hand and a bright light later Mitta's form changed from undead to that of the living.

"I can see now that you were innocent in what had happened Mitta and for that I am sorry can you forgive me?" Faust asked with a bow.

"Please don't your highness you don't need my forgiveness," Mitta said causing Faust to straighten out.

"Hey Ruby how'd you know we were here?" I asked.

"Well I could feel my body being moved so I followed it here?" Ruby said while she pointed to the coffin that was in Celestia's magic.

"You'd be glad to know that the bones have been fixed and cleaned so it we be like it never happened," Ethen said making Ruby smile.

"Mitta tell me are the residents of Sunny Town any closer to redemption?" Faust asked.

"I'm afraid they haven't changed since the day you cursed the town and they were using the curse to curse others," Mitta said.

"Gods above what have I done?" Faust said.

"Don't worry Faust you couldn't have known the question now is how do we deal with them?" Rage asked.

"I made the curse so that if there was a stray resident they would be pulled back to the town by dawn," Faust said.

"Then I have the solution to your problem," I said.

"And what would that be Ash?" Chrysalis asked.

I teleported everyone to the entrance of Sunny Town and looked at the carnage.

"So much death," Dream Catcher said.

"Ok Ash what's your plan?" Rage asked.

"Easy I move the town elsewhere but getting it to the destination I had in mind will be a problem so I need you all to stay back cause I never done this before on my own. Also I've ever done one this big," I said.

Everyone backed away from me and I took several deep breaths before I raised my left arm at the town and made my arm became demonic and a pit appeared in the centre of the town. I then made the pit expand and the black spindly arms began to grab bodies, buildings anything that was in its path and dragged it all into the pit. Once the town was gone the pit disappeared and I collapsed to my knees.

"Okay I just exhausted my power," I said.

"Ash...when could you do that?" Faust asked.

"It was a while ago but I learned today I can do a lot more...but I can't show you now," I said.

"I think I know what you’re the god of Ash," Ethan said with a smile.

"Really then what would I be the god of?" I asked.

"You’re the God of Balance,"
