Author's Notes:

Well, I always wanted to make stats for Andromalius and Inanna. Here's one about Andromalius. Ianna's coming in the next chapter.

Andromalius was lying on his bed, trying to think of anything other than sex.

"Ugh..." he muttered, rolling yet another time. "Luna, damn you!"

Luna's still-strong smell isn't doing him any good either. Andromalius was so aroused he was ready to fuck anything of opposite gender. And his now-favorite succubus wasn't around to finally do what a succubus is supposed to.

"You know, I think you shouldn't have returned to the castle so soon." Inanna chuckled. "You're now hornier than me, and that's impressive."

"God damn, where are you when you're truly needed?" Andromalius groaned.

"Try to jack off in the bathroom." Inanna giggled. "Imagine my amazing butt, and you'll be good."

"I think I'll do just that."


After getting to the bathroom without being seen by any female guards (He wasn't against that, though), Andromalius did what he urged to. Unfortunately, he had to clean the bathroom a little after his not so little grand finale.

Relieved, he went back to his room, humming a happy tune. After all, what can be better than a good ol' masturbation session?

"Damn, my man stuff is bigger now." Andromalius thought, now back in his room.

"Well, you are bigger than you was, and you're a damn huge equine. What did you expect?" Inanna chuckled.

Andromalius sighed.


He'd been lying for some time on his bed before a knock came from his door.

"Dear Andromalius, art thou there?" a familiar voice spoke.

"Luna?" Andromalius replied nervously, lifting his head.

"My cycle ended, if that's what thou art afraid of." she replied nervously. "May I come in?"

Andromalius sat on his bed and replied: "Yes."

Luna slowly opened the door. She was slightly different from when Andromalius has seen her last, and he could quite tell what is different. She entered the room, and now he could see that she became slightly taller, her fur and mane darkened a bit as well. She now looked older.

"Hello," Luna spoke with a sincere smile. "'Tis been long since we've seen each other, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is so." Andromalius nodded.

"Well, what didst thou do while I was... out of work?"

"Mostly studying. I've went outside the castle, too." the hell stallion replied. "Went to the Galloping Pony. It isn't much interesting there, though."

"And what wast thou learning?"

"History, geography, culture, magic." Andromalius listed. "Well, I can say I studied pretty much everything, though there is a lot more waiting for me."

"Well, thou hast changed a bit, as far as I can see." Luna stepped closer. "And what is this?"

Andromalius shivered as Luna touched his bald head with her hoof, then traced it down his face.

"Thou hast grown some fur." Luna said. "I suppose thou art not so different from us ponies as I first thought."

He touched his face, feeling that it indeed became a little less furless. There now were short black hairs that couldn't be seen on his black skin.

"Perhaps thy fire burned it while leaving the skin in place." Luna suggested. "That's why it grew. When was the last time thou used thy fire?"

"I didn't use it since I was taken by you, I think." Andromalius replied, scratching his chin with a hoof.

"That's interesting..." Luna muttered. "However, I came to thee today not only to see thee, but to find out how well were thy studies going. Today, thou shalt have to pass a test."

"What do I have to do?" the hell stallion asked.

"Thou shalt battle Shining Armor, current captain of the Solar Guard."


Andromalius followed Luna as she walked through the halls of Canterlot Castle to the inner grounds.

"Well, captain Armor is certainly good at what he's doing, I was told." Luna spoke. "And since thou art my guardian, it must be determined whether thou canst compete with the best of the best.

"Captain Armor hath a set of defensive spells. His shield is hard to break, as far as I know. His skills with sword are the ones of the best throughout Equestria, and he hath some offensive spells as well. He is a tough one, that is for sure."

"Like one wise person said, 'Do or do not; there is no try.' And I will fight him, and I will come out a winner." Andromalius stated. "I will not disappoint, Luna."

"Dost not strain thyself too hard, dear Andromalius." Luna said worriedly. "'Tis only a small battle. He's one of the best, and being at draw with him is a challenging task. If thou feelest thou canst not win, thou shouldst not try. Dangerous consequences may follow if thou dost."

"I am aware of that, Luna." Andromalius nodded. "And I am sure I can compete. I must do my best for you."


There was a square ground somewhere within the walls of Canterlot Castle. It was four hundred square meters, which purpose is a training ground for the Solar Guard.

In the center of it Shining Armor stood. Surrounding the area, some guards that were free of duty stood, waiting for a battle that was soon to start.

Luna and Andromalius walked out of the castle's insides and went straight to the open area. The hell stallion was greeted with stares.

"Good day, Andromalius." Shining Armor greeted the stallion. "It is a pleasure to meet the one that princess Luna talks so proudly about."

"Likewise." Andromalius replied, walking closer to the captain. They bumped hooves, never breaking eye contact.

Andromalius was ready for the battle. While researching magic, he came up with excellent results. He could cast some spells from the game as well, like Eldritch Arrow or Fireball. It was only a matter of time before he would learn all the spells from the game.

So, he knew how to act and what spells would be useful against Shining Armor. First would be Vulnerability that would destroy his magical armor. Next, Weakness spell must be used. And last, Slow spell.

To strengthen himself, Andromalius would use Haste, Divine Strength, and Endurance.

All those spells would spend little mana, and the remains would be saved by Andromalius for later.

Luna started the countdown, and the two stallions prepared themselves for battle. Andromalius made sure that his battle spells were more or less harmless, doing only stun and low damage. Certainly, Shining Armor would get some bruises and a headache, but nothing more,

When the countdown was finished, Andromalius quickly caster Vulnerability spell. To his surprise, the effect was the same as in the game.

"What kind of magic is this?!" Shining Armor yelled, confused.

Not giving him time to think, Andromalius casted the other two spells on him. Shining growled, then casted a shield around himself to prevent further attacks. Unfortunately for him, Andromalius had already done the damage.

Casting enhancing spells on himself, Andromalius noticed that the stallion picked up a wooden sword and prepared to strike. To captain's surprise, his blow didn't reach its target, but was blocked by a crystal, his sword stuck in it.

Letting go of the sword, Shining used offensive magic, sending a bolt of pink magic at the hell stallion. Andromalius casted an Eldritch Arrow, and it collided with Shining's bolt, creating a rainbow sphere for a moment.

Shining Armor, more irritated and annoyed as ever, went to hoof-to-hoof combat. He used his hind legs to buck Andromalius hard.

Taking a few steps back in surprise, Andromalius used his right foreleg to take a swing at the captain. Colliding with the pink shield, the hoof made a crack on it and sent its owner flying.

"And Luna called him one of the best?" Andromalius thought.

"It's no surprise. Ponies rarely fought since the foundation of Equestria, and that left them soft." Inanna replied. "Besides, the magic you use is unknown in Equestria, and my guess is that everything they have on battle magic is really nothing but shields and magical bolts or beams."

"To me, casting those spells is easy." Andromalius thought, dodging another bolt of magic. "Logic can be applied to them. For example, to make a lighting is just to turn magical energy into electricity, and aim it at something."

"Ponies and logic are things that are barely seen together." Inanna chuckled. "Especially in magic, I must add. There weren't many spells invented even in the last thousand years, as far as I know. Ponies explain everything as 'magic', and don't know that things can have other nature than that. In the prison of Hell, we took our time at studying many things. While your human science is far ahead of ours, we know some things that ponies don't."

"So, they're pretty much stagnant?" Andromalius replied, blocking a buck that was coming his way.

"That is right. But you better focus yourself on a battle. We can discuss science later, alright?"

Andromalius nodded to himself, then quickly became offensive. He used Lightning, then Eldritch Arrow, and repeated. Then, he added his hellfire to Lightning, making it shield-breaking. Stunned and shocked, Shining Armor fell down to the ground.

Andromalius turned around and saw that everypony was shocked, including Luna.

"In the name of my sister..." she muttered.


Andromalius was in Luna's bedchambers, sitting in a comfortable armchair.

"So..." Luna started. She was sitting in front of him on another armchair. "I am very impressed, and that's an understatement. How do you use lightning when you're not even a pegasus?"

"Logic can be applied to everything, Luna." Andromalius explained. "The scientists from the world I came from know many things about nature and how things work. Fortunately, I didn't forget their explanations. It took the scientists hundreds of years to come with explanations, but it was worth it."

"Thou couldst very well start a revolution in magic and natural science, Andromalius." Luna looked at him seriously.

"While I'd like to share my knowledge, I think it will be better if scientists come up with the explanations by themselves. After all, it is their job. If I could give the, an advice, I would say 'Don't try to explain everything with magic. There is more to it.'"

"I will tell them just that, I suppose. Thy reasoning is good, so I shall take into consideration what thou hast just said. Thank you."

"For what?"

"For giving us a push to the right side, of course." Luna replied. "There was little to no research of nature. I think it will change from now on, after all that thou hast shared with me."

I cannot place an Author's Note on the both sides, so here I am.

Well, there was nothing in the show that wasn't just colorful beams of magic. No fire magic, no earth magic. I thought about it and came up with this chapter.
