Rise of the Fallen Equestria
Evil. There is no such thing as being evil as every deed we do or any second we live requires something we stole from another. The bread we eat, we took from the grain. The grain we harvested worked hard to grow. The plants stole the minerals from the world. And the world is an amalgamation from other planets that were destroyed and absorbed by a bigger one. Yet, we see all those deeds as natural to survive for yourself and our kind.
Of course, sentient beings and nonsentient creatures always look for excuses. Animals are just 'Instinct driven' while smarter creatures pried themselves with titles, honor or the simple fact that they are slightly different from other creatures. Disgusting.
In truth, evil is seen in the eye of the viewer. Life is just a big take, take and take if there weren't those few to share their wisdom, tressures, and powers with others. Sadly, there are only a few who want to deviate from the dark path that was created when life was nothing more than just hostile to the newly evolved creatures.
The Nothingness. Lysandras POV
Lysandra said in a shocked tone."What do you mean by 'We won't support you?!' What did I do to be abandoned by you, Master, and why is no eve trying to offer me help?! I am standing against the biggest fanger we can even face, and you're just standing there?!"
Zegrath walked out of the shadows and said, with his now even stronger glowing purple eyes."We are feeling with you, Lysandra, but there is one slight problem with that. Why should we? Eliminating this threat would not only prove your worth to our master for once at least. All you did in your 'long live' was just gathering the seeds of corruption without even lifting a finger of your own."
Lysandra glared at Zegrath, the damn backstabbing snake, with all her hatred. She said."You can't be serious? Not even you were able to kill Mathael, not even pulling him on our site, and you as one of the oldest and most powerful servants? You can't possibly agree to this, Master?"
Zegrath smiled before saying."I, at least, tried to fight him and brought very joyful news and information. We aren't asking you to win, we are just asking you to try. Isn't that right, Master?'"
The Corruption said in a happy tone.That's Right. Lysandra, the servant of lust, are ordered to challenge Mathael to a fight. do not disappoint me.
Lysandras' mouth stood wide open. She felt betrayed. Lysandra pouted before walking out of the hall of her 'Master' with great anger.
Icy Tundra
*Boom*
*Bash*

*Slash*
*Bang*
"Break already you damned ice floor!!! I will never lose to you!!!"
Argus screamed at the top of his lungs at the ice floor that he, and all warriors he had at his disposal, attacked with full power. In the end, after all those hours of trying to damage the ice, they only dealt a few scratches. Argus knew that the only way of destroying the ice was to attack it with great force at once, but only his and the shadow warriors attacks were able to do any visible damage.
He growled in annoyance and frustration. He hated it to feel useless. He gathered all those forces to get this relict that was hidden under the ice, but it didn't make any sense! He was strong enough to split a massive iceberg with a single punch and cut part of the ocean a few hundred meters behind it, yet, a single layer of ice, just thick enough to hide what whatever treasure is buried under it, is withstanding my attacks!!!
Argus said as his anger and voice was slowly rising."I was created for war, to bring death and justice. But I am wasting my time on bashing against a lifeless foe that can't even defend itself besides murdering my nerves, so why by the guiding light of the moon... Am I wasting my time here!!!!"
Andros put a hand on Argus' shoulder and said."Perhaps a break is required here? You haven't slept since your change into an anthropomorphic wolf, which happened several dozen hours. You should not overdo it, Argus, you should adjust to your life before you word yourself half dead." Argus sighed before nodding and walking into the newly build base.
Several thousands of feet away from Cloudsdale: Artemis and Sepherothas POV
Adjutant:Warning, reaching destination: Cloudsdale, in T-minus 3 minutes. Cloudsdale is known as one of the biggest slave trade stations besides New Dodge Junction but is equipped with substantial fewer amounts of resistances due to Its high position.
Artemis and Sepherotha were currently located inside one of three Titanic Warp Prisms that were escorted by several hundreds of Vikings for security. It was known that the only way to get up to the clouds was by flying, so all defenses were mostly flag based with flying units protecting the anti-air machinery.
(Titanic Warp Prism(Like normal Warp Prism, but much bigger and warp in units many more units))
(Vikings (tactical machinery that can switch between an assault walker with machine guns to a jet to intercept flying units)
Although this would generally scare any warrior, no matter how experienced they were, the two Shadow Guards were excited without showing it to the other. They have raided villages, but these invasions lasted only shortly, but here they will fight against thousands and have to make more tactical decisions than saying 'Kill them all.'
Adjutant: Reaching destination in T-minus 1 minut. Prepare for medium resistance.
Artemis asked."Well... so what is it like to change?"
Sepherotha turned her attention toward Artemis and said."Hmmm. The best way to describe it would be to sssay that I feel more. It'sss like you sssuddenly feel more than just information. It's like you just looked through a glass door before walking outside and ssseeing the world how it isss."
Artemis said with a bit of excitement."Wow. I can't wait to find out what I will be when I change!" Sepherotha smiled at her eagerness to become stronger.
She liked most of the other Shadow Guards, besides Argus maybe who she disliked a little, but besides this little detail, she saw them as her family. She often says harsh things to mortals, but that only because they see so little. The don't see progress, they just see what they can become tomorrow. While the Guardians saw what they could grow in the end when they put all their power and change.
Adjutant: Arival in Cloudsdale in T-minus 30 seconds. Warining! Warnig! Enemy forces are moving towards are location, preapare for battle
The defenders of Cloudsdale knew that Mathaels Legion of darkness was on a dark crusade in Equestria and it didn't take a genius to figure out that they would be one the most likely targets. They armed themselves with several siege machinery and even hired several Dragon and other kinds of mercenaries. They seriously believed that this would be enough Hah! Fools!
The highly advanced and upgraded Vikings were much more potent than a regular one. They too were able to rebuild themselves in mid-air, had the plasma shield of a phoenix, were twice as resistant, had an inbuild Graviton Beam to pick up ground units and defenses without landing and could shoot while flying.
A wave of several hundreds of small airships and a few big ones came flying towards the invaders. These ships were nothing in comparison to those that Dainn send against Stalliongrad as they were cheaply produced in masses and laked all the magical and technological upgrades like arcane shields.
The Vikings reacted to the upcoming wave by splitting into groups of three to five while keeping a few dozen meters to the next group, giving them enough space to evade attacks and to bombard the enemy. When the Caribou forces came in reach, all Vikings shot their barrages towards the large block of Caribou ships.
It was carnage. A third of the ships were destroyed by this barrage, not only because of the sheer amount of highly potent missiles but also because the foolish and inexperienced pilots that tried their best to save their life by making a bold evade which either send one of their comrades to their doom or both of them.
The Vikings saw the space they created, and they formed themselves in groups of ten that kept a distance of seven meters. The Caribou forces tried to organize themselves as good as possible, but the Vikings didn't see the view of a pilot, but of the commander. It wasn't chaos for Mathaels troops as they saw everything clear, while the Caribous tried their best to not hit their own forces.
Even the fastest Caribou ships were very slow in comparison to the Vikings and their wooden hulls and cannon balls as ammunition weren't very useful. Of course, there were still several losses for Mathaels forces, but that was more because of all the raining rubble instead of actual attacks from their enemies.
When the Caribou forces realized that they couldn't overwhelm the Viking forces, they decided to attack the warp prisms in an attempt to eliminate the leaders. That was a bad idea as the Titanic Warp Prisons had their own upgrades as well. You see, the 'wings' of a warp Prism are mostly extremely amounts of highly compressed psionic energy. This would not be important if the cargo were just a few machines, but the Shadow Guards had remarkably high Psionic potential, at least everyone besides Argus really had it, which amplified the power of the Prism by many folds. In short, lightning would shoot out of the wings at anything that attacks it. The result was 'Electrifying.'
The Caribou forces got destroyed by both the Warp Prisms and the Vikings that shoot the troops down. When just a tenth of the ships was left, they tried to flee, but the Vikings didn't let that happen. The Vikings circled the slow-moving vessels and shot them down with one big Barrage.
When the air forces were eliminated, Mathaels forces flew towards Cloudsdale. The defenders build up several big Ballistas and barricades. The Ballistas shoot towards the Vikings, but that was a foolish idea as the Vikings were able to fly backward and even sidewards thanks to Mathaels upgrades. The result was that not a single heavy dart hit a Viking and the defenses were destroyed by revolutionary tactics. Diving a little so that the rocket launcher would face the Ballistas and shooting before flying up again.
The defenders saw this and gave up the first battle line which gave Mathaels enough time to land two-thirds of his Vikings so that they could turn into assault walkers. Only one of the Tatnic Warp Prisms actually set up as the warp grid was big enough to cover a third of Cloudsdale. The other Warping machines would be set up when more parts of the flying town where conquered.
Once the first Warp Prism set itself up into Phasing Mode, before releasing Artemis and Sepherotha. Once the two of them were out of the transportation unit, they began to warp in the warriors. This was possible because Cloudsdale received several changes since the fall like for example a magical field that allowed all creatures to walk on the clouds.
Artemis began to warp in many Bio focused infantry units and a few vehicles as well. She warped many improved units like Elite Marines, Tauren Marines, Devil Dogs, Hammer securities, medics, and Medivacs. Sepherotha, on the other hand, kept her army simple and warped in Ghosts and Dark Templar.
(Elite Marine)
(Tauren Marine)
(Devil Dogs)
(Hammer Security)
(Medic)
(Medivac)
(Dark Templar)
(Ghost)
With her units warped in, Artemis army ran towards the front line, while Sephiroth forces activated their cloaking ability to infiltrate the enemy forces. Sepherotha was able to cloak herself too as one of her specialties was to change her body to most degrees she likes, but it wasn't quite like with the Virus as she couldn't use it in any way she there was.
It was a massacre as for any troop they lost, another three were warped in. The only reason the defenders' barricades didn't fall instantly was for the Dragon Mercianrier that charged with huge hammers at the units. Sadly for them, their scales only protected them only for a few seconds till the bullets pierced their flesh, thus were only able to kill a few Marines.
Sepherotha cloaked units would take down snipers and defenders in Barricades while they fleed or charged at Mathaels forces, so no one noticed that their friends mysteriously died. When the Caribous and mercenaries saw that suddenly a Caribou was split in two, they began to shoot around like idiots, which only rang the launch bell as one Arrow hit Sepherotha which resulted in all 273 Dark Templar using Shadow Furry

Shadow Furry
Teleport rapidly to a random in a big radius before dealing high amounts of damage and blinking to the next enemy.
The Defenders were barely able to keep up with running to the next fortification as Mathaels forces just ran over them. All hope was lost for the Caribou when another third of Cloudsdael was lost and the second Titanic Warp Prism set up which allowed hundreds of more Warriors to join the battle.
After several hours of a merciless Bloodbath, the Caribou lost. All Mercenaries and about 99.98% Of the Male Caribou Population was killed or executed. There actually were a few 'Ok' Caribous which surprised both Shadow Guards. You want to know how they found out? Simple, the Adjutant was feed with Mathaels information and marked those few Cariou as yellow(Neutral) which meant that they would not kill them without command. Sadly, there also were many 'Purple Females' or somewhat Broken ones regarding mental stability. Those were annoying to transport into medivacs to heal their wounds.
Luckily the Medivacs and Medics were able to heal the wounds and lost body part like horns with their healing beams. While they looked through the remains of the City (Or what was left of it after The Naga had a slight rage attack), they found a few 'Blanks Slaves' which was a Female whose mind was robbed. This disgusted those two when they found out but were scared when they found out that the procedure takes place in New Dodge Junction. They knew that Mathael didn't know about this and we're sure that this would be a brutal slaughter fest.
After the City has been robbed of its surviving citizens, everything of use was loaded into the Titanic Warp Prisms before making their way towards Stalliongrad. They hoped that Mathael would be able to 'repair' their mortal minds without making their heads explode. This was not a joke, too much PSionicle energy in a weak mind was dangerous and with Mathaels power of the mind that easily dwarfed the one of Amon and Sahra Kerrigan in her Xel'naga form.
Manehattan Ashias POV
Manehattan, a city that was known for its financial importance for Equestria. In this city were the finances made and products build for the Caribou, from weapons to sex toys and other essential things for the average life of a rapist. There was no need to explain why this city was high up on Mathaels conquering list.
Daephron and Ashia were on their way towards the city, or at least Ashia was as Daephron was preparing a big surprise. Ashia and her forces decided to make a sneaker attempt because it was more strategic than charging head first into the city And because Ashia was not the bravest of the Shadow Guards.
She and her faces were using old tunnels to get towards Manehatten were they then would break through the walls of the sewers. Once they reached the Sewers, the would cut through the ceilings and attack the Caribou while chaos reigned over the battlefield, thus giving Deaphon enough time for his big surprise.
Thankfully, Mathael was kind enough to morph in a new kind of Roach. This Roach was four times bigger than a normal Roach, or twice as big as a big Caribou, that was equipped with huge digging claws that had a small dent to acts like shovels. These units also had an even more potent acid that was almost as dangerous as liquid fire.
*Crack*
The Digger Roaches have reached the asphalt streets and broke through it very fats. In mere seconds, the streets broke open, but Ashia told her forces to wait a bit for the big surprise. The Caribous were confused why suddenly a big hole appeared in the streets, and hundreds gathered around it. The defenders stared in the hole for several seconds, until suddenly thousands of red dots could be seen and a bloodcurdling screech could be heard.
*Screech!!!*
In an instant, thousands of Zerglings jumped out of the hole in a flood of claws and teeth while shredding the curios Caribous into shreds. The Caribous had barely enough time to reacts. They ran towards the mages who set up barriers in an attempt to shield themselves, sadly, this was just the beginning.
(Zergling)
More and more cracks began to spread on the streets as more and more holes were dug. From every hole came a new Zerg species that would rip apart the Caribou. Out of the holes came Hydralisks, Banelings, Roaches, Ravagers, and Shades. The Shades were a particular unit that could cloak itself and acted similar to a Dark Templar, but could burrow itself intent of using blink.
(Hydralisk)
(Banelings)
(Roaches)
(Ravagers)
(Shade)
The Roaches, Ravagers, and Hydraluistks shoot Acid, Plasma Fire and Needles at the barriers for a few seconds before they *Shatter* broke into millions of pieces. The Mages were shocked to see their defenses break by animals.
The Zerg units were not bothered at their stunned expression and continued to charge at the Zerg units, sadly, the Caribou Warriors were dumb enough to charge into a wave of Banelings. *Boom* *Splash* *Shhhh*. The melee fighters screamed in pain as their bodies were dissolved by the acid. The Zerg didn't stop there, and co continued to wash over the Caribou taint like a nitrogen fueled steamroller.
Onlay few Caribous and mercenaries were able to run towards the central defense point of Manehatten while the rest of them were mercilessly murdered. Ashia just stood there watching as everything was happening in front of her eyes. She didn't feel comfortable with seeing this but knew that they were everything that stood beside them and a happy ending.
Suddenly she heard a female scream for help far far away."Help me, please."
Ashia knew that this was her main priority, but she couldn't just leave her mission. She thought for a few seconds before commanding her zerg to continue attacking while she was busy before charging towards the origin of the voice. She ran through the streets with such speed that everything that laid around, from trash to junk, was blown away into the sky.
When she arrived at the scene of the crime, she was shocked by what she saw. Two big dragons surrounded one small female dragon that was shivering in fear. One Dragon picked her up and lifted her over his breeding rod that was never going to fit without tearing her apart.
Anger began to rise up in Ashias body. With every step Ashia took towards them, she felt how her rage ignited even more as if she was surrounded by a feeling she never felt before in her short life. The armor she wore changed from a lifeless piece of metal into the form of something alive.
When the flames died out, it revealed a tall Female Dragoness with golden scales. Her body was very slender, and her body was almost as big as Mathael. Her weapon turned into a long golden staff with a red fire ruby on top. It looked similar to the Bloodstone scepter, but instead of having the claw-like crystal twigs holding it together, it was connected with three golden threads that coiled and circled around the gem. Her eyes were green, and her claws were colored in a rainbow color. She had a long spiky tail with Rainbow spikes and big long wings on her back.
She walked towards the dragons that were twice her size with pure hatred and determination. She shouted with anger at the dragons."Hey! Mess with someone in your size!!!"
The Dragons turned around and saw that a far more attractive Dragonnes walked towards them which surprised them. Dragon females, especially the more attractive, were a lot rarer than Mares as they often were stronger and more significant than a male dragon. The Dragons smiled and threw the small Dragoness the caught earlier away like trash.
The first Dragon said."Hey there? Wanna have some fun? It doesn't matter what you think because it will be fun for us!"
Ashia could feel the corruption of the Crystal Cock which made this situation just worse! You ask why? Becuase now she didn't have an excuse for betting them to a bloody pulp as no one is only hurting someone weak and small without tasting their own teeth! She waked up to the first Dragon and lifted her staff.
The second Dragon said in a cocky tone."uhhh~ Are ya gonna beat us with ya little stick?"
*Bash*
*Thud*
Ashia grinned and said while walking standing on top of the unconscious Dragon."yes, I will." The first Dragos eyes widened when he saw the stick shot towards him. He turned around and tried to run away, but it was already too late.
*Bash*
*Thud*
After the two cocky Dragons were knocked out, she walked up to the wounded Dragonness that was thrown away and crouched down. The Dragon threw her with such force against a trashcan and a brick wall that it looked like several ribs and her arm broke, a sad sight.
The Dragoness had Red scales and blue eyes. She whispered."Help me" She cried as a puddle of her own blood formed underneath her.
Ashia was shocked to see this. She has seen Caribous ripped apart and didn't feel anything, but now she actually felt things besides shyness, it was sadness and empathy. She gulped before trying to find out what to do. She began to say random stuff while pointing her staff at the Wounded Dragon.
She said in an attempt to help the dying Dragoness."Heal, regenerate, rejuvenation, Instant fix, cure wounds, Mend wounds, Healing Light." Suddenly her staffs' gem changed. It's color to green before radiating a green light. The wounded females bones slowly put themselves back into position, the blood steadily seeped back into her body, and the wounds in her skin closed. In five seconds, her body was healded. The Spell was so powerful that the wounded Dragoness fainted.
Ashia sighed before opening her wings to form positioned them so that the civilian could lay on a soft layer of skin. She then walked up the two knocked out dragons and grabbed both of them by their horns before making her way back to the action. Ashia was curious what other powers she will obtain, at least Ashia felt as if she gained new skills from fighting the dragons, but had no idea what it was.
*Stomp*
*Thud*
*Stomp*
*Thud*
Suddenly a huge, thousands of tone heavy, war machine walked into Manehatten. It was equipped with two huge cannons as arms and many smaller ones on the metal monstrosities back. It's steps created colossal creak and even damaged the tips of sky scrapes by merely walking by. What or who was controlling this Monstrosity?
From the huge Machine boomed a happy voice."'It’s-a Me, Daephron!"
Literally, every jaw in Manehatten dropped when they saw and heard what the colossal death Machine just said. The Caribous were so paralyzed with fear that not even the front lines realized that they were shot apart in seconds. The Huge death Machine know as 'The Odin' was walking with powerful steps towards the Main defense line of the Caribou and began to shot. One shot was enough to blow the barricades apart while the second murdered hundreds of rapists in a blink of an eye.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Boom*
*Boom*
The Caribous stopped trying to defend themselves and ran away as fast as they could, but sadly, with the defenses no longer existing, the Zerglings caught up with the Caribous and mercenaries in minutes. After several hours, the battle was won, and almost all Caribous were executed.
After the useless meat was gotten rid off (The Zerg corpses were recycled by letting the creep on Zergus consuming the remains), Deaphron jumped out of the Odin and was first greeted with excitement as he was more than happy that Ashia has found her real form. Afterward, the Dark Legion looted the city and found Blueprints of a machine called 'Build a Mare' which took away the personality of a female. Dread crept across their necks when they found out that the devices were located where their master ventured which meant that they should be careful when they meet him next time.
New Dodge Junction
Mathael said in a slightly annoyed tone."Can you walk faster? We don't have all day."
Dullahan replied in an equally annoyed tone."We would already be there if you wouldn't have taken so much time with eating."
Mathael replied."Food is one of my ammunitions that I used for some of my more powerful attacks, and you know that."
Dullahan replied."Excuses, excuses and more excuses..."
Mathael said with a happy tone."This is the beginning of a good friendship."
Dullahan replied."Indeed. But why are we wearing disguises?"
Mathael and Dullahan were currently making their way through the dry plains that surrounded New Dodge Junction in disguise. He was disguised as the Unicorn form that he already used a few time and called It Shadow Heart but changed the cutie mark. His new butt tattoo was a black heart with red cracks in it. He still wore his suit and top hat but didn't hide his horn. Dullahan, on the other hand, was a gray Earth Pony Stallion with silver, black mane and had deep brown eyes. His disguise body was littered with muscles. He wore a suit too, but he was more made for a security Stallion than a rich butler.
Mathael chose to disguise the two of them as he didn't want the Male population of New Dodge Junction to just evacuate through the trains, so he decided to go in disguise till the reached the train station and destroy it. The two of them could already see the town of they were going to ruin.
Mathael said."We can't risk them escaping, and you know that. Now stop with the questions and play along." Dullahan nodded and so the two of them entered the city.
Many Guards were stationed on the border of the city, or more specifically, more than the other three towns, Cloudsdale, New Dodge Junktion and Manehatten, was this the most defended considering that It's half as big as Manehatten. The Checkup was quick as the Caribou found nothing on them or instead they couldn't find anything as Mathael was immune to magic and so was Dullahan thanks to his Ninth metal body. Fun fact, Ninth Metal does not activate Metal detectors.
After the process was done, thankfully they were able to evade the test of genitals, the two... I wanted to say heroes but isn't really fitting. After the Narrator found nothing fitting to say, he decided to just call our two adventurers, our Heteromorphic pair as neither of them were truly Pony or mortal or anything that would not scar ones mind if a being would see their true self.
When our Heteromorphic pair was done with the formalities, they began to wander through the city while slowly making their way. Both of them were disgusted at what they saw. Females everywhere were used as toys. But what they saw after a few moments of walking, almost blew their cover and New Dodge Junction up.
A female voice said.“S-stay back! Get a-away from me, you pigs!”
The sudden shout of a panicked mare caught Mathaels and Dullahans' attention. The two of them Stopping for a moment to see what was going on, they soon saw a dark gray, Possible very light black, coated mare with purple mane and tail pressing her back against the wall of a house, just a couple of meters away from him. She was wearing a red collar, the lack of wing-sheaths and horn stump make it clear she was an Earth Pony mare. Tears were falling from her eyes, hate, and fear pouring out of them. She was using a kitchen knife to fend off three of her caribou masters, who were smiling at her silly attempts of ‘self-defense.’
Mathaels rage was rising, but he knew he couldn't risk this situation to blow, but he had to do something. He looked around and saw that Caribous, stallions, donkeys, Griffons and many other kinds of sentient creatures with their 'pets' halted their activities to see what was going on. Many laughed while others shouted insults at the mare for fighting against her vastly superior male masters.
Mathael sighed at his foolish heroism considering the importance of the mission and walked in a fast pace towards the Mare who changed her attention towards Mathael. She glared at him in fear as he was still huge for a Stallion, even in this form. He was about to grab her knife, but the Mare responded with a random swipe with her weapon. Mathael knew that he couldn't use his power and used his own reflexes and just barely escaped a slash at his throat. There was a small trail of blood that leaked from his throat, not much, but still, a very dangerous wound if he would've been less careful. There was a collective gasp as everyone froze. That was not because he was vulnerable in this form, but because he knew that he had to be authentic and a sharp kitchen knife that breaks on contact with flesh? Not very realistic
Mathael had enough of these games and was about to grab the knife, no matter if he would have to fake a lost finger or hand. But before he, or anyone else, could do anything she plunged the knife deep at one side of her throat before slashing all the way to the other side in a swift motion. There was another gasp, this one a bit louder than the previous one.
The mare fell to the ground, her arms and legs twitching as a pool of blood formed beneath her.
Mathael stood there frozen as he stared at the dead Mare in shock. He was responsible for her death, even if it was meant well, she was dead. He ignored the Males that continued their everyday activities, the moans of pleasure, the screams of pain, the cracks of whips and other unsatisfying sounds. He kneeled down before closing her eyes in a slow and soft motion. He knew exactly how it was to be in her position, to see no more escape, to hope that death will give her happiness.
Flashback
It was a beautiful day. The Cherry blossom fell smoothly from the trees as a soft wind carried them through the land. The petals flew from cities to woods and plains, until they reached a small village high in the mountains. The Village was small, but many travelers would often venture up there to find peace or try anew.
On the side of the village was a bottomless cliff, so much space was between the top to the bottom that even on a bright day, the full distance could be seen with the bare eye. On this cliff, sat Mathael. He was in this village only for a few weeks and tried to find peace form his sins of the past.
He stared down at the abyss and wondered how easy it would be to just give up, to meet everything he cared for again, by attending death. He didn't deserve a new life or happiness after everything that happened. Yet, they tried to be kind to him, Master Zenyatta and the other villagers, but why!
He clenched his teeth before releasing a deep sigh. Even if he found acceptance, he was still a monster! Both physically and mentally. Nothing he had left, was his besides the memories of the gruesome deeds he did and a past he didn't deserve.
He brought doom to so many worlds, yet they just say it over and over again. 'If you're sorry and truly want to change, then you deserve a second chance.' A second chance? I took more lives away than in the history of the multiverse time ever was able to! Why him? Why were they so kind to him!!?
Mathael said with watering eyes."Who would even care if I was gone? They just like me because they think I want to change, but I am just too weak to continue like this!" and gave one last push before falling, but suddenly stopped in the middle of his fall.
Mathael looked up and saw that it was Master Zenyatta himself who stopped his fall before putting him back to where he sat a few seconds ago.
Master Zenyatta said in his wise ways."Willing to change has nothing to do with strength or weakness Mathael, it just means that you can still be saved. You may think that you're alone, but you are not, and no one ever is. Giving up is the path of the weak minded, but you, you who willingly gave up the dark path the second you were given a chance to, are not weak minded."
Mathael looked at Zenyattas' face for a few moments before giving out a loud sigh and wishing away his tear with his arm before saying."I don't deserve you, Master, but I will try to follow your advice."
Master Zenyatta said while making his way back with Mathael." 'Trying' is all I am asking from you. 'Succeeding' is all I am hoping for you, my pupil." With the wise words spoken, the Master and his pupil walked back inside where they were greeted by the villagers with smiles and laughs, and it was the first time, Mathael returned their happiness with a smile on his own.
End of Flashback
Mathael stared at the corpse of the Mare for a few more seconds before a Stallion that stood right from him asked."Why are you staring at the slut? You're not feeling sad for the whore, are you?"
Mathael smiled with a lot of sadness and said, while his disguise said something more 'Male-like.'"She may just have been a Slut (Mortal), but it was still a life that was taken. All life is precious, even if hers was just a little more worth than dirt (Even if she would fade in a blink of my eye). I honor all life and all dead, no matter who or what it was."
The Stallion shrugged before walking away. Mathael continued to smile sadly at the corpse before using a replacements spell that he combined with chaos magic, the result was teleporting her body into his fortress while leaving a lifelike replica on the ground, which no one noticed.
He sent a psionic message to Erebus and said.'Erebus, Tell the Shadow Guards to retreat back to the fortress after the cities have fallen and the survivors were saved. I want them to listen to my plan on how our invasion will continue. Also, please put the body somewhere safe, I plan to have a talk with her once she's back to life.'
After he sent the corpse to his domain, he put his hand into his pocket before pulling our a newly created role of band-aid and wrapped a bandage around his neck. After he took care of his wound, he put the bandaid back into his pocket where it vanished. He then walked back to Dullahan whose disguise, and real face looked at him skeptically.
Dullahan asked Mathael."Why do you care about these mortals? I get that their sadness is fulling the Corruption, but why do you care for every single individual? They are just mortals in the end."
Mathael smiled and replied with a smile."I am nice to them because I can. This Mare also reminded me a lot about my past and my weaker moments when I was just as helpless as her. If she was in my situation, then I am sure that she would' have overcome the same dangerous as I have to stand here beside you today."
Dullahan nodded before continuing their way towards the train station while ignoring their surroundings to the best of their abilities. Somehow, Mathael was able to contain his anger, he just spaced out and just took in everything he needed to know from his surroundings.
After several seconds, they reached the train station from which all trains would drive away, it was also the only safe escape route from this forsaken town. If this escape route is destroyed, there would be no escape. Mathael was about to end it, but then saw something that caught his eyes. It was a big sign that hand from the wall of a shop that said 'Build a Mare.' This shop was directly connected to the train rails which would only mean that something significant must be there. The two of them decided that it was worth their time and entered it.
When the two entered the weird shop, they saw many strange machines. The construct like an old x-ray device that would be used to scan a whole body while on one side was a screen with a keyboard beside it. Mathael began to wonder why the Caribou would build such a device if they could just literally make themselves synthetic mares? Wait! On the monitor stands 'Insert blank here.' didn't one Caribou I murdered say this to his slave?
One Caribou walked towards Mathael with a smile and said with high hopes to make a lot of many from Mathael, who looked like a wealthy noble."Greetings my good sir, how can I serve you today?"
Mathael knew that he just wanted his money, which was nothing at the moment but could be his body weight several thousand times over in a blink of an eye. He was about to ask how the machine worked, but then heard someone shout angrily.
"Get your hands off me you damn bastards! I will never become a slut for you twisted imaginations as long my name is - Mphf"
Mathael asked calmly."What, exactly, was that?"
The Caribou said with a wave of his hand."Just a slave that has already been sent back by several owners because she just wouldn't realize the way of living, but no worries, she will be blanked and be a good whore." 'Blanked' there was it again!
Mathael nodded and said."Would you mind showing me this Female and explain to me how these 'Build-a-Mare' machines work?" The Caribou nodded as both of them began to walk towards the origin of the voice.
The Caribou explained."This machine is one of the best inventions since the Rapevines! With just a few button pushes and Whallah! A cunt that is exactly how you want it to be. You must ask 'How does such a miracle happen?' Well, I can't explain the details, but in short, it erases one whores' personality, thus 'Blanking' it and making her able to be rewritten with the machine."
Mathael stopped as he began to think what this machine does. He looked to his right and saw various numbers standing on them. Serving customer: 321, 583, 942, 32, 109. They were taking away their very being! This, this was the only fate he knew that was worse than death, to have your personality taken from you, to leave an empty husk in your place that will continue using your body.
Mathael was no longer feeling anger, but fear, this was one of the few things he feared. Would these things be able to do this to him he somehow lost? What was it like to be the target of one of these things? Would it be like being reborn? Was it like dying or was it an eternal state of confusion or where you locked away while seeing all actions happening to your body as if you were looking a screen while you are strapped to a chair? The mere thought sent chills down his spine.
The Caribou looked at Mathael with a smile before saying."I know, right? This machine is so awesome that it's almost scary! But hey, its a much better solution than what we did back in the cold north to get rid of useless slaves in darker times. Brrr. To think that our ancestor would eat slave meat, even from our own race, if they were useless, is a bit weird but at least they weren't wasteful."
Mathael wanted to vomit, he wanted to fall on the ground and throw up vomit and possible enough blood so he would pass out and forget the last ten minutes! He gulped hard as he tried to drown his dry throat and wash away this feeling of dread. This Caribou was talking happily about things that even shocked him, he who walked through all levels of hell with barely caring about anything.
Suddenly the two of them stopped and saw the source of the screams, and he was shocked by who was in front of him. In front of him was a Mare that looked remarkably close to Darkness, but she had a different cutie mark. Her cutie mark resembled the weight of justice. He closed his real eyes for several seconds as seeing someone who looks identical to the one you loved in this state hurt so much!.
She was a cruel example of the monsters called Caribou. Her once beautiful cutie mark was branded with a burn mark that resembled chains, her canines were chipped to not possibly bite of the dick of one of her masters and wore a black collar. He wings were gone, not clipped, they were literally sawed of as the wing stumps suggested. Mathael used his magic to compared her and his Darknesses DNA and found out that they were almost identical. She had a gag in her mouth while a muscular Caribou lifted her and was carrying the struggling mare towards one of these dreaded machines.
Mathael looked around for a few moments before finding Dullahan a few meters behind him. He sent him a psionic message to lock the doors and wait next to the train rails. He told him to destroy them when he sees the sign. Dullahan nodded before making his way out.
Mathael then cleared his throat loudly before saying."Gentlemen, there is no need for such acts. I am willing to 'Purchase' this Mare."
*Thud*
The Muscular Caribou heard his words and let the Mare fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes without care. He looked at Mathael with curiosity and confusion, and so did the smaller Caribou who explained everything to him (And almost made him vomit.)
The smaller Caribou asked."Her? Not to sound unrespectful, but why her? She is what we consider a cheap slut." There was an angry 'Hmpf' coming from the Mare. The Caribou continued."Why do you even want her? You look like you could purchase a high-quality purple Slut?"
Mathael chuckled and said."I don't like the one that is broke and used. I want something to mend my way, the right way and not how a trainer does with dozens of Mares. In short, I don't want a type of mare that is 'Produced' in masses, but something special, something adjusted to my preferences. A Guard, who was able to withstand you Caribous ways this long, is just what I am searching for."
The two Caribous looked at another for a few moments before shrugging and putting a leash on on her black collar. It didn't take a mastermind to see that she made this situation as annoying for the Caribou as possible. The muscular Caribou was annoyed by this and lifted his fist in the sky and launched it towards the Darkness-like Mare. Mathael saw this and caught the big Caribous fist while slowly twisting it to the right. The Muscular Caribou wasn't able to stand against Mathaels strength and fell on the ground.
Mathael said in a stern voice."I would appreciate f you wound not touch my companion. Is that clear?" The other Caribou had his jaw on the ground when he saw this. This pencil man forced the Caribou hunk on the ground with one hand! The Mare, on the other side, was surprised to see a male defending her, but then she remembered that he probably just didn't want his 'property' to get damaged.
Suddenly a plan formed in Mathael mind. He said out loud."Time Acceleration" and suddenly time stopped or at least it did for everyone who was not Darkness, Dullahan or him.
The Mares jaw hit the ground when she saw this. The struggling Caribou and everything around her just stopped and turned slightly grey. Mathael rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers and creating two chairs, a table with cake, tea and produced a nice pair of blue shirts and a white T-shirt.
Mathael said calmly."One or two sugar cubes?"
She was still looking with wide open eyes at Mathael before slapping herself and blinking for a few moments. She asked."What are you? Why are you helping me?"
Mathael chuckled and put two sugar cubes in her cup before saying."Why am helping this little world? Becuase I am probably the most powerful defender of female rights in the creation. Why I am exactly using my time to help you, let me ask you a different question, do you believe in the multiverse theory?"
Darkness She looked at Mathael for several moments as she was trying to find out what game he was playing. In the end, she gave up and answered his question"You mean the insane theory that there are unlimited numbers of worlds and that each time choice new timeline is created? Then yes, I do know this theory, why do you ask?"
Mathael chuckled and bluntly answered."The theory is true, and I'll show you a picture of someone who is similar to you from my world, please remember that if you know who is on the picture that I don't see all versions of a being the same."
Suddenly a wave of flames washed over Mathael as it revealed his thestral form at 49% of his base power. He grabbed onto his locket and pulled out a heart-shaped looked that he created, but he also created a third person picture of a nice even he witnessed.
When Mathael opened the locket, it revealed a picture on which Mathael and his Darkness were hugging happily. Mathael said with a smile."In my world, I murdered Dainn before the fall happened. I ripped him apart piece for piece and crushed his manhood before giving him a slow and painful death. I did it because I hated such monsters, but the main reason was that I knew that my Darkness wouldn't be safe nor happy if such a dark event would ever occur."
justice gasped in surprise and sadness and said."That's my sister, Darkness. Thanks for showing me a picture of her one more time. I really miss her."
Mathael's jaw almost hit the ground when he heard this, but quickly calmed himself. He said."I did not know that. In my world, as far as I know, Darkness doesn't have a sister. Wait, what do you mean with 'Seeing her one more time'? Is she-?"
Justice finished sadly."Dead? Yes... but not because of the Caribou. She died a few years ago when a dragon threatened Canterlot. She killed the monster, but nothing but ashes remained of her." A few tears rolled down her cheek.
Mathael thought.'This Isn't my Darkness. It's sad, but calm down body. These Mares need to see a knight in sh- no and no. They need to see a knight in dark armor, saving the day and not a rage-driven monster,'
She asked in a severe tone, but was not able to hide her sadness."If you are telling the truth, then answer me one question. What did my grandma call me, Justice Bloodheart and my sister Darkness Bloodheart, before the fall?"
Mathael smiled before answering."Your Grandma used to call you 'My little bloodsucker' back then which made you blush hard whenever she said this in front of anyone."
*Shatter*
Justice let the teacup fall to the ground and started crying. She hated that everything this Stallion was saying was true. She was angry that another self of her was happy and she was stuck in such a twisted nightmare.
Mathael stood up and kneeled down before patting on her back. He said with a calm voice."There is no need to cry. Soon thing will get better."
Justice looked at Mathael with hope-filled eyes and said."How do you want to know that?"
Mathael rose to his full height and said with a smile."Only the Crystal Empire and Canterlot are left. The rest of Equestria has been truly liberated from the iron grip of the rapist Caribous."
Justice was looking at Mathael with hope in her eyes. Would this nightmare soon end? There though alone made her cry even more. Mathael continued to pat her back for several more moments. Mathael created a tissue and gave it to the crying mare that whished away her tears.
Justice said."Thank you for helping us." She looked around and asked."But what are we going to do with them?"
Mathael smiled and asked."We get rid of them, but before we do that, I have a question for you. Would you like to learn under my guidance, to become strong enough to protect the ones you care for and possible the innocents of other worlds too?" Mathael then stretched out his open palm
Justice thought for a few moments. She failed to protect her home, and now she was given a chance to become strong enough to protect what she loved and save those from other worlds like this Stallion did whither. She smiled before shaking his hand and saying."I gladly accept your offer, Teacher."
Mathael smiled and said."You don't know my name, do you?" Justice gave out a loud sigh of disappointment. Mathael continued."It's not that bad, I am Mathael. Your first lesson will be to just point a pair something called 'guns' at the Caribou and then pressing a button. The weapons are lent by the way. I would love to give you real power to work with now, but I can't. I promise you though that after the fall, when you had a big happy and end and a reunion with your friends and family, that I will contact you and teach you my ways. "
Justice asked."Well, what are we going to do now? We are in the middle of Caribou territory and are surrounded by hundreds if not thousands, of crazy Males, no offense, how are we gonna deal with them?"
Mathael smiled, and suddenly his hands were covered with black fire when the flames died out, it revealed his two ranged weapons, Success, and demise. He used a bit of his magic to make them not become heavy enough to crush a mortals hand with the weapons weight and lend them to Justice.
Mathael said."I have gathered a 'Few' animalistic and highly advanced Xenomorphic alien creatures that would just love to ai us in battle." Justice looked at Mathael with a smile, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that she didn't understand a word. Mathael sighed and added."I Gathered many warriors from a species called 'Zerg'"
Justice nodded and said."I-I am ready to fight!" Mathael chuckled before patting on her head.
Mathael pointed his finger and used a new spell that he came up during their talk that is a combination of many spells."Ultimate Buff Level 1". Suddenly Justice glowed. She panicked for a few seconds before relaxing and moving her muscles as she was surprised at how powerful she felt.
Ultimate Buff Level 1
Increases someone's defensive traits to the highest amount the targeted creature can take without having to suffer negative effects. This buff cannot be applied to Mathael as his powers already push him to the maximum of what his flesh and bones can hold.
Ulitmate Buff Level 2
Increases someones defensive and offensive traits to the highest amount the targeted creature can take without having to suffer negative effects. This buff cannot be applied to Mathael as his powers already push him to the maximum of what his flesh and bones can hold.
Ultimate Buff Level 3
Increases all traits to the highest amount, the targeted creature, can take without having to suffer negative effects. This buff cannot be applied to Mathael as his powers already push him to the maximum of what his flesh and bones can hold.
Mathael explained."This should keep you from getting hurt. Now, I am going to end the stasis, and then you have to shoot the Caribous in armor. Ok" Justice nodded, and Mathael snapped his fingers to dispel the spell. In the second the time stop ended, two loud gunshots could be heard.
*Bang*
*Bang*
Mathael was surprised that Justice would just shoot them down. He expected at least a bit of hesitation or fear, on the other hand, those were her rapist, abuser, torturers, amputators- I should stop as my anger is rising! Mathael looked at Justice who was breathing heavily, but not because of regret, but because of the thrill to kill, literally.
Mathael patted her on the back and said with a smile."You're making progress. Now, I think It's time blow this hellhole up, and that is no joke. These machines are even crueler than I could ever be! I-no, we are going to destroy this, but you have to trust me." Justice nodded with determination in her eyes.
Mathael smiled, but his smile faded pretty soon as he knew what had to be done. He snapped his fingers to create a barrier around Justice. Mathael shouted."Enkai Hibashira!!" while slashing with his right hand from left to right through the air. Suddenly Black burning flames swirled around him, and the entire shop was consumed by flames.
The Flames shoot into the sky and turned everything above them into ash, but that was just the beginning as the heat continuously intensified until suddenly the fire exploded into all-destroying combustion!
*Boom*
Dullahan POV
Dullahan was standing next to the central point of all rails in New Dodge Junktion but kept asking himself one question. Why are all rails connected to one location? This is the most foolish decision to make! Either these Caribous are entirely dumb or just so arrogant that they would never expect to have an enemy come so far to attack them.
*Boom*
Dullahan looked at the shop where he and Mathael have been a few minutes ago. Dullahan smiled as this must be the sign Mathael talked about. He walked the central rail node and grabbed the rails with both of his hands. He smiled as he could already feel his body heat rise extremely fast.
The Caribous near the rails began to gather around the Pony that was touching the tracks. Suddenly a trail of fire spread on top of all rails that led hundreds if not thousands of feet in all directions. The Rails began to glow redder with every second till they started to melt. The Caribous didn't understand what was happening, but they knew that this must be an enemy and began to advance on him.
Dullahan turned around with a smile and greeted the Caribou. One Caribou screamed at him."Halt! You're under arrest for destroying New Dodge Junction rail system. Surrender and no one has to get hurt!"
Dullahan began to chuckle and said."Yes. If I would surrender then no one would get hurt, but where is the fun in that?" Suddenly his disguise began to burn so strong that everyone had to cover the eyes. When the red burning flames died out, it revealed the real form of Dullahan, but with the slight difference that his entire body was on fire and his marks glowed even redder than before.
Dullahan grabbed the flaming chains and pulled them off his body. Dullahan then began to swing his weapons around with such speed that they almost became invisible before lashing at the Guards. With one full arc swing, he hit all Caribou and turned them to ash, before the remains exploded into exp. He smiled before running towards the center of the city.
Back to Mathael
*Bash*
*Boom*
Mathaels attack burned the entire building down and walked with Justice to the entrance and destroyed it with one punch. He, again, was surprised that she didn't freak out that she was surrounded by fire. The Caribous outside the building looked at Justice and Mathael in both shock, surprise, and disgust. They probably were confused about how they were alive and sickened that he treated Justice like a living and feeling being. 'heresy!!'
Suddenly a wave of black fire washed over Mathael, revealing a substantial armored monster. Mathael stretched both of his hands out in front of him and pointed his palms to the sky as a long rod of Black fire appeared in Mathaels hand that revealed a beautiful scythe after the fires end.
Mathael slowly walked towards the Caribou while using his scythe as a walking staff. The Caribous stared at Mathael with fear. Not a single muscle moved beside Mathael who steadily walked towards the Ponies till he stood a few feet in front of the Guards.
Mathael announced in his deep, demonic and intimidating voice."Caribous. I am truly disgusted by your ways of living, and that says a lot. I have seen the darkest pits hell and even they looked beautiful in comparison to the nightmares you brought, from your twisted minds, into reality. I, as a being who is half demon myself, am disgusted and will put an end to this."
Mathael then let his power rise back to 50%. His whole body was consumed by an even brighter burning black fire that turned the ground into obsidian. When the flames died out, it revealed our Protagonists armor, but it now adapted itself to Mathaels body. His horns, claws, and tail now poked out of his armor too. He looked like the embodiment of death now, and only needed to show his horn to show how small they were, but decided to keep it a secret till the very end.
Mathael weapons and armor now were connected to his power, meaning that his equipment is as powerful as he is. Mathael smiled under his helmet before delivering a *Shing* slash of his scythe with such force and power that it cut through five rows of Caribous Guards with easy. Even though his weapon only hit the first row and scratched the second, the sheer strength and magic that empowered his Scythe made it even deadlier.
JUtsice understood that it now was time to attack and pointed Succes and Demise in roughly the direction of the Caribou Mages and archers that stood behind the Warriors that Mathael was currently cutting down. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*. The Caribous had barely enough time to create several barriers to protect them, but to their misfortune, the bullets *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Shatter* destroyed each shield, that a mage created, with a single shot.
Another wave of Caribous charged from the west, but ignored Mathael and ran towards Justice. Justice pointed her lend guns at the new incoming wave, but someone else was quicker than her. *Boom*. The Creature know as Dullahan ran through the wall of a nearby house.
Dullahan looked at the new group and began to swirl one of his chain scythes in a cone-like motion in their direction. The swirling chain began to create a small, growing, fire tornado. Dullahan screamed."Burning whirlwind" as the fire tornado suddenly expanded and burned the new wave to dust in just a few seconds.
Mathael turned around and saw that Dullahan finally decided to join them. Mathael turned his attention back to the Caribous before slamming Eternal Justice into the ground and shouting.Wave of Spikes Fire magic.
Suddenly a wave of thousands of black spikes shot of the ground, impaling the Caribous, turning them to ash and setting the buildings aflame in the moments they touched anything. Mathael smiled while looking at the Caribous running in chaos while all buildings were burning. He smiled before sighing and snapping his fingers.
*Poof*
With the snap of his fingers, he teleported all females and Males (That weren't Caribous) a few dozen meters into the wasteland where he stationed a few hundred Warriors. He also decided to teleport away hundreds of crates on which 'Blank' was written in the hope of possibly fixing the poor Mares and other female creatures the cursed with such a dreadful fate. He would've teleported the civilians away before the battle began, but teleportation of various targets that are spread over an entire city wasn't an easy task.
Mathaels eyes suddenly glowed red as he sent a psionic message to his xenomorphic friends to rush here and crash the party. The ground began to rumble with the power of thousands of feet hitting the ground. The Caribous stopped and turned around, and their jaws almost fell when they saw thousands of weird animals charging towards them.
Before they even had a chance to attack the new invader, weird looking dogs with wings pounced at them and pinned them down. Usually, that would be no problem as their armor would protect them, but they were wrong. The claws of Zerglings are capable of even ripping apart a space marine in seconds. You ask, 'But that's just science fiction,' actually, it's quite realistic. Even a regular Zergling is created with very high amounts of muscle mass, in fact, almost their entire flesh is highly trained muscle mass, and the claws bones easily make even the most potent iron sword look pathetic.
Mathael smiled at the show. Justice shot down any mages and escapers. Dullahan slashed through the hordes with his burning chain Scythes like a hot blade through butter. His zerg overran the last resisting Caribous while cutting through the waves with his two-handed Scythe. Still, as much as he enjoyed this teamwork, it was still a boring fight as nothing was risked nor was this a battle to be taken seriously.
Suddenly an evil plan crept into his mind, but he had to check one thing. He used his Superhuman Speed to dash through the entire city so fast that everything around him looked like in slow-motion. He looked through every building to see if there was anything worth saying.
In the end, he found nothing. He killed a few Caribous by dashing through them, but nothing special. All properties the mares owned where thrown on a dump. He stored the items that looked halfway ok in his inventory. He then grabbed every Caribou Male that was 'Ok' in his eyes and put them in a separate group so his warriors could make sure they don't do anything stupid.
When he was done, he reappeared in the exact spot where he stood a few moments ago and commanded his Zerg to retreat. He grabbed Justice and told Dullahan to get out of the city, which he luckily didn't question, before tacitly retreating himself. The caribous had no idea why they left, but they accepted it and began to celebrate. Idiots.
When Mathael and the rest of his forces were outside of the city, he put Justice down before putting his guns back into his inventory. Justice looked at him with various emotions. Anger for carrying her like baggage and saddened that she lost her toys.
Mathael patted her on the head and said."Don't worry. You'll get your own overpowered weapons soon enough." Mathael then snapped his fingers to create several magical mirrors to see what his apprentices were up to. He was surprised to see so much destruction happen in so much TIme, how did- is that an Odin?
Mathael turned to his forces and said."Zerg units, retreat back to the main hive cluster on Zergus. Warriors of the Shadow Legon, bring our 'guests' to our newly acquired base of operation on this world. Justice, Dullahan, we will go to my dark castle to cause a bit of fear into Dainns forces." Mathael then snapped his fingers to create three portals for all three groups. Mathael, Justice, and Dullahan walked through the gate.
The Dark Castle
The moment Justice, Dullahan, and Mathael exited the portal, their looks instantly fell on the massive pile of snow that laid between the Shadow Guards. Mathael walked in front of the snow pile and used his Airbender Powers to inhale a lot of air before blowing the snow away. Once the snow was gone, it revealed a very frustrated Argus.
Mathael said calmly."I presume you were not able to fulfill your plan in the Icy Tundra?"
Argus said dryly."positive."
Mathael nodded and walked past the rest of the Guards and sat on his throne. Mathael said."My dear warriors, It's time to cause a bit of chaos in the Caribou army by showing their completely helpless state." Mathaels smile began to grow as the light dimmed more and more till only his glowing red eyes could be seen.
Canterlot Castle
King Dainn, the cowardly king, was furiously gnashing his teeth as he was eagerly awaiting the next report of fortifications of the cities to which he sent warriors. He was also hoping to hear something from the goddess, but there was nothing! He hated to be in the dark with no way of doing anything!
Suddenly a flying mirror appeared in the air out of nowhere. The only thing that could be seen in the mirror where two glowing red dots. Mathael!
Mathael said calmly through the mirror."Greeting, 'King' Dainn. I hope you are enjoying your last days above the ground." Dainns' eye was twitching while the Princesses were hiding their grin. They shouldn't be enjoying this, but seeing how Dainn was being mocked by this Stallion was too good to be true.
Dainn jumped off his throne and screamed at the mirror."What do you Traitor want1? Face it, you will never win this war, I will win, you will lose. You will never come to pass the fortifications I set up!" Suddenly three more mirrors appeared that revealed Manehatten and Cloudsdale on fire while New Dodge Junction still looked okay.
Mathael said."I am sorry, did you say anything? Your defenses fell like flies and so will you if you don't heed my offer. I came here to make you an offer. Give up now, and I promise you that your race will survive. Of course, they have to learn how to respect Females, and you will die. What will it be, Dainn? Your culture or your kind?"
Dainns' face became red with rage as he screamed."I never surrender to the likes of you!"
Mathaels glowing eyes intensified. Mathael said."You could've ended this war now, but you didn't, and it's your fault, remember that. But remember this, I will no longer hold back, no mercy, no joking around or anything, I am serious now. I will attack you precious Crystal Empire very soon, gather all of you Caribou warriors, every last one of them. I don't want to hunt the leftovers of you Rapist scum. The real war now begins."
Suddenly Mathaels mirror disappeared and the mirrors that showed teleported a few hundred feet in front of mount Canterlot. The mirrors grew to humongous sizes and showed what Mathaels armies accomplished so far. Suddenly one mirror showed how meteors rained on New Dodge Junction and destroyed it till nothing remained of it.
Every heart in Canterlot was filled with fear when they see three of Equestria most significant and most important cities destroyed. The Princesses were shocked to see an entire town that was several times bigger than Canterlot just destroyed. King Dainn, on the other hand, was close to exploding from anger.
He shouted."Moon Butt! Suck you Master Cock." Before Luna had enough time to react, Dainn grabbed her head and slammed it on his dig before furiously and forcefully bobbing her head on his breeding rod.
Back to Mathael
Mathael was smiling so hard that it would cause nightmares to anyone who would see it if it wasn't for his helmet that shielded his face. Mathael stood up and turned his attention towards Ashia and was surprised to find out that she found her true form.
A wave of black flames washed over him to reveal his true form as he was walking towards Ashia. Mathael said with a smile."Ahia, I am surprised to see that you found your true form! I congratulate you on reaching the first step stone on a hopefully long and good path of achievements." Ashia was blushing furiously when she heard his compliments.
Mathael said out loud."I am proud of all of you, Shadow Guards. You have done well. Our next target will be the Crystal Empire. We will plan our invasion tomorrow as I want you to rest after the tiresome battles you have been through. Argus, I want to see what you have been planning what you have been up to tomorrow first before we plan our attacks. This meeting is over, you are free to go. Justice, I want you to follow the Shadow Guards to Stallionsgrad to rest."
Justice asked."And what will you be doing while we are gone?"
Sepherotha answered bluntly."Don't question our Master, 'Justice'."
Mathael said."It's fine, Sepherotha, in fact, it's good that she asked. I want you to question my ways as I don't want to have more mindless puppets. As for what I am going to do? A Mare died during the attack of New Dodge Junction, and I will be busy with resurrecting her." Sepherotha and Justice nodded before they walked through a portal that one of the Shadow Guards created.
Mathael sighed deeply before looking around his halls to find where he sent the corpse of this one Mare. He looked through his entire fortress for hours which were zero seconds in the other worlds. In the end, he fell on his throne with a loud thud as he sighed in annoyance. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
*Drip*
mathael opened his eyes after a few moments of rest and found the source of the falling liquid and the corpse of the mysterious Mare! She was on a chandelier far up on the Ceiling!!!
Mathael facepalmed before snapping his fingers and teleporting the corpse on the ground. Suddenly a yellow orb formed above his open palm. He slowly began to lift his lam, and the corpse started to glowing golden light. Mathael said."Heroes Never Die." and used Resurect.
??? POV
After so much pain, so much torment and suffering, I am free, but where am I. A black void surrounds me, is this the afterlife? An endless hellish limbo? I take it a hundred times over the Caribous twisted version of Tartarus. But what will happen now? I am alone, and there is no one here.
"Wake, Wakey little Mare. Your journey is not done yet." Said a masculine, yet almost divine voice as a heavenly light shone upon her soul from somewhere above.
Either I am insane, or a divine being is calling out to me from the afterlife. Please, whoever you are, if you're powerful enough that is, safe Equestria, my friends and family from the Caribous twisted and pedophile minds!
"There is no need to worry, Everything will be fine in the end. It's time to wake up." The light glowed stronger and brighter with each passing second till she was forced to close her eyes.
When the light slowly dimmed down, she opened her eyes and tried to get used to seeing again for several seconds. After a few moments, she could look at her surroundings. A dark throne room, with many dangerous and evil looking object, surrounded her. She let her eyes travel a bit till she found a big intimating Stallion next to her with features of a demon, Thestral, and possibly earth Pony. Suddenly it struck her, this was the Pony she met on the market, this was the Pony that cornered her till she killed hers!
Mathael crouched down and asked."Are you alight- why are you looking at me like this?" The Mare glared daggers at him before pouncing at him and grabbing his throat. She tried her best to choke Mathael who was having an emotionless look on his face as he was trying to hide his annoyance. When the Mare realized that she wasn't able to even squeeze his throat at all, she jumped away from him and ran away.
Mathael sighed before snapping and creating a barrier and snapping again to change the scenery a bit. The Mare bashed at the shield for several seconds with no luck. In the end, she slowly and fearfully turned around and saw that the scary throne room was replaced with a nice looking living room that had a beautiful looking Canterlot theme.
Mathael sighed while rubbing his nose bridge before sitting down onto a chair. Mathael said."Please, take a seat. I don't plan to hurt you, if it was, then I would have just let you stay dead." The Mare gulped very loudly before shakingly making her way towards a chair that was a few feet in front of the scary Stallion.
When she sat down, she asked."What are, who are you? How am I alive?!"
Mathael sigh before rolling his eyes and answering."I am something that could be best described as an amalgamation. I am a bit of everything, Thestral, Demon, Unicorn, Angel, Earth pony, Nephalem, Pegasus, Supervirus, and apparently the god of darkness. I am Mathael, happy to make your acquaintance. And you are?" Mathael realized that he was talking too much and he was hoping that the information dumb didn't spoil the surprise.
The Mare was taking her time to soak up everything he was just saying. Suddenly she began to chuckle maniacally, after about half a minute. She pinched herself and waited to wake up, but she didn't find herself on the ground of her 'Owner,' no, she was still sitting in front of Mathael.
The Mare began to mutter something that Mathael was able to hear thanks to his Superhuman Hearing. Seh mumbled."Is he lying? No, he can't, nopony can just bring someone back! Sombra did it, but he dedicated years, hundreds of artifacts, sacrifices and blood rituals to accomplish that and was never able to resurrect anyone but himself! If this is true, then I am standing in front of a deity, but what is so special about me that I am brought back to life?!"
Mathael stood up without having her notice and patter her on the back which startled her. Mathael said."Please, just be yourself, I am not that kind of supernatural creature. As for how I saved you and why? The rules of the creation don't apply to me, or at least a thousand times less than they to the Chaos spirit. I saved you because your death was kind of my fault, but I would have brought you back either way. I have come to save this world from the Caribou taint and all other kinds of taints that infect this world like I did before. Now, you must be asking, 'Why am I here?' Simple, I have an offer for you." Mathael smiled at her, not evilly, nor intimidating or with many teeth, but full with kindness.
The Mare asked."But what is so special about me? I am just me, Anubis. What use do I have to a god?"
Mathael smiled even stronger before lifting her head by pushing her chin up to make her look into his face. Mathael answered."You reminded me of myself when I was just a mortal, which was a few million, billion years ago? Time is such a weird thing. You had this fire in your eyes, and with my help, you can become so much more than you could have ever imagined. I am powerful, but I am just one being."
Mathael thought'How long was I a slave to this monster Sindrael again? I thought I was about 12 years a toll, but after I regained a lot of my memories, I am not sure anymore, but it was A lot more than just 12 years. I feel old now'
Anubis thought for a few minutes before looking into his eyes with determination."I-I accept your offer, Mathael. I want to become strong enough to protect the ones I care about and others too."
Mathael smiled before patting Anubis' head. Mathael chuckled and said."I am happy that you accepted my offer. Before we greet the rest in Stallion grad, that I conquered and is completely safe, I wanted to tell a thing about your name. In an ancient language, your name is the one of the god of the dead rites which is fitting considering I honored your death by closing your eyes, shortly after you died."
Anubis chuckled and said."Thanks, my mother said that my name meant more than just a word. Also, I appreciate that you didn't just throw my corpse away. But I guess my name and what you did was just a coincidence."
Mathael said."Sure... And I am sure that your cutie mark that resembled an ancient symbol called Ankh which means Life and immortality is also a coincidence. There are no coincidences. There are just many events that play in a big scheme which outcome is most likely unknown." Anubis smiled and blushed a bit from his attempts to make her feel special.
After Anubis' mood was has been lightened, Mathael created another gate to bring both of them to Stalliongrad so that, she could rest a bit while he would be busy, again.
Stalliongard
When Mathael exited the portal, he smiled as he saw that the newlings already made themselves a home, thanks to the older refuges or where they survivors? Whatever. Mathael snapped his fingers to teleport all 'Blank' crates to him and was shocked to see that the Shadow Guards founds hundreds more. He was beginning to question his capability to save all of them... and if all of them would be fitting in this fortress. Sure, he expanded it with his magic, but he had to supply all of them with food, water, and now a lot more clothing!
He sighed before walking towards the first crate and ripped off the cover with his bare hands. He was shocked at what he saw. He saw an Earth Pony Mare with no hair, no cutie mark nor life in her eyes. Her skin was tan colored, very close to the human skin which probably happened during the 'Blanking' process and the fact that the body was just breathing enough to not suffocate. He was disgusted and tried to ignore his feelings and the civilians that slowly were building a crowd around him. He began to ponder how to best recreate her mind.
Mathael though while tapping on his chin.'The only way of removing someone's memories would be to cut the neural connection that is in charge of creating and remembering memories. If a connection is cut in theory, the memory is gone as long the connection is cut. The Caribous must have cut all connection by using these evil machines. Hmmm... Memory loss should count as a negative effect or at least damage, which means I should be able to heal it with magic. In the worst case scenario, I just have to use my virus, but I would like to keep that hidden from the Ponies, for now.'
Mathael snapped his fingers to let all boxed disappear and the only leaf behind the poor blanked ones that all looked pretty much the same. His hand ignited with a black light as all blanked bodies were surrounded by a dark aura that put them into one massive row of corpses. The citizens had no idea what he was up to.
A Mare with tears in her eyes said to Mathael."Whatever you're trying to do, it has no use. The blanked ones are lost forever, believe us, we tried to save them."
Mathael turned around and smirked. A big smile formed on his face before he said."Then you didn't try hard enough!" There was a loud collective gasp from every survivor. Mathael continued."You tried, but you tried not hard enough. You still believe in facts, science, and rule, but that's is what holds and pulls you down on the bottom of reality."
Mathael gathered significant amounts of energy in his fingers, and with a snap, a white light blinded everyone? When the glow died out, it revealed a weird ring with three shooting star symbols on it. The resistance members were confused about what he needed a ring but decided to not interfere and risk their healthy eyesight.
Mathael lifted the hand on which the ring was located high up in the air as suddenly a white spell matrix shined in a massive radius around him. The resistance members shrieked away as the didn't understand this level of magic.
Mathael said out loud."Ring with the name of Shooting Star! I wish for all of these poor innocent Mares to have their stolen memories and personalities return to their rightful owners!" Suddenly the spell matrix began to glow stronger and stronger until the light blinded all again.
When the light died down, all mortals gasped in shock and happiness at what they saw. No longer laid there the empty husks of sentient beings, but the friends and family members the survivors had missed for so long. Mathael was surprised that the ring even returned them their hair and skin color.
Mathael smiled at the cute reunion scene before putting the ring into his inventory and walking away. Sadly, one small unicorn filly intercepted him as she hugged his legs from behind.
The small filly said."Thanks for giving me Mama back." The other beings looked at Mathael who slowly turned around and crouched down. Of course, they didn't expect him to do something terrible, but he seemed very intimidating and dangerous no matter what he did.
Mathael ruffled the Fillies mane and said."No problem, little one. Oh, what do you have behind your ear?" The Fillies was confused at what he meant. Mathael gripped behind her ear and pulled out a rare glowing rainbow crystal and gave it to her. he continued."Now come on, have fun with your family." The filly giggled before rushing back to her parents and showing what she got.
Mathael smiled, but there was a lot of sadness at the bottom of his heart.'This is making me more sad than happy...'
Mathael snapped his fingers to create dozens of crates with food, water, and clothing, gain to sustain the citizens of Stalliongrad. After he was done, he decided to give little Twilight a little visit. He hoped to give her, her mind back. Thinking about plans, he still needed to meet this one caribou that he scared to death, and he still had to cure the wounds.
After that was done, he tracked down the squad he sent to escort twilight and began to walk through the halls of Stalliongrad. Mathael hoped that Twilight maybe clicked and came to her senses in her out time. He snapped his fingers to teleport the pair of wings and horn to him. Mathael used his magic to pull off the rings and repair the horn of its damage. Mathae then looked at the weird ring on her ring again that radiated strange magic that he didn't understand. He had no idea what it did and decided to inspect it even close. Mathael then spotted a small sentence that was engraved on it. 'Obeyance ring. Makes even the most stubborn Mare see the light of Male superiority.'...
...
...
Mathael thought in realization.'I am a jerk, but I somehow don't feel as bad as I should feel.'
Suddenly Mathael heard loud sobbing in the room that Twilights escort was guarding. He sighed before telling the guards to leave them alone. Once the Guards were gone, he knocked on the door and asked."Twilight, It's me, Mathael. I want to have a conversation with you."
There was a loud gasp. After a few moments, Twilight stuttered."I-I mean O-Of course. C-Come in."
Mathael sighed before entering the room and was shocked at what he saw. There were many piles of tissues. Twilight looked like she was massively dehydrated from all the crying. Her eyes were red, and so was her nose and her clothes were wet from her tears. Mathael was beginning to feel bad for her. He sat beside her and asked."What happened, before all of this started? I saw the ring on your horn, and I am going to say this once, It wasn't your fault."
Twilight wished her tears away with a tissue before asking."What is not my fault? Selling my friends? Leading the Caribou through a safe path to Canterlot? Turn Spike into a sex-driven Monster!? I don't deserve to sit here. I should just be six feet-"
Mathael had enough of this and closed her muzzle with his thumb and index finger."Twilight, just stop right here and just listen to my words. I am very old, and I made a lot of mistakes, both of free will and as a slave. I have beaten myself up a very long time of my time as a mindless tool, and I can give you one advice, let it go. What will your pain, suffering or death bring? Here is the answer, nothing! The best thing you can o is trying to get your life back in balance and not making your friends and family worry. It would be a tragedy if once this world is safe again, that they won't celebrate a new hopeful death, but mourn over your self-destruction". With his sentence finished, Mathael let go of her muzzle and pulled put her, now ring free horn, and a pair of wings back on her back.
Twilight was stunned from what she just heard, after everything that happened, after everything she did, Mathael just forgives her? No, it wasn't that simple, she still had a long way in front of her, but she wasn't alone. He eyes watered before she hugged Mathaels chest and cried again. After a few minutes, Twilight, let loose of Mathael before standing up before giving him a nod of agreement and walked out of the room with a smile.
Mathael smiled the entire time and commanded his guards to no longer follow Twilight around. After the situation was defused, he stood up and walked towards his room to decide how to continue with these circumstances. After a few moments of walking casually, he stood in front of his door and opened it. To Mathaels surprise, the Caribou in question was sitting on a chair beside the Mare who seemed to care for his health back then when he almost killed him with fear.
Mathael smiled before walking towards a spare chair and pulling it in front of the Caribou. Mathael asked."So... You decided to not play like the other Caribous and instead, you respect Mares. Why? Not that I mind of course, but why?" Mathael made sure to say every word as clear and non-threatening as possible.
The Caribou looked at the Mare who was smiling at him before giving out a loud sigh and turning back to Mathael. The Caribou began to tell his story."My name is Duneyr, and this is Sunny Sky. In truth, I was always different than the rest of the Caribous. I was always weak, and because of that, I normally would do work that was just a bit too hard for Mares. Cleaning, cooking, writing, I did these jobs and worked close to Mares. They worked like me, Mares talked like males too, well with different themes, and Females curse the same whenever they hurt themselves during the work. After the fall, I moved to Equestria like all other Caribous and started working here in Stalliongrad. After a few months, I was able to afford my first... Mare, sorry, it kind of sounds weird now. When I 'purchased' Sunny Sky, I brought her to my room and- and I had no idea what to really do. I put her leash off, and we just stared the other on the eye. After what felt like hours of staring, I made myself a meal while Sunny had her Mare kibble. Sunny looked at me with those eyes that I couldn't say no, and we shared the meal, and later we shared everything. We held our relationship secret which almost got blown a few time, but it was worth all risks." With his sentence finished, Sunny hugged the Caribou with a smile
Mathael smiled and said."I am impressed, Duneyr. I wished there were more Caribous like you, or at least enough so your race won't die out after this. If you need anything, name it, and you get it."
Duneyr looked at me with a confused look and asked."Why? I am just not being a flankhole. Why do I get a reward?"
Mathael chuckled and said."You earned my respect. To not follow the dark, yet common path, but instead walk the right way, this is impressive. So, is there anything you two want?"
The two of them looked at the other for a few moments before they smiled and turned to Mathael again. Sunny said."We are happy about your offer, but all we want is to be happy and start a family with healthy children." Mathael smiled at their kindness before pulling out the ring shotting star again and gave it to the couple.
Mathael said."This ring can still fulfill two wishes. Use this gift sparingly. If you want immortality, you have it. Healthy and talented Children? Sure, have them! Ten thousand gold bars? Why not?"
Both of them looked at Mathael with big Duneyr, and Sunny said in union."Thank you." before both of them began to laugh. After a few moments, the couple exited the room.
Mathaels smiled again, and his face was starting to hurt from all of the happiness. He gave out a big sigh before walking in front of his bed and falling face first on it. He was tired of this world, as much as he loved to help others, he missed Darkness and the girls so much! No! He can't give up or abandon them now! He needed to save this world, kill Dainn and whoever is responsible for these 'Angels' (Slaves of Corruption) and then he still has to rebuild Equestria! *Groan!!!*
*Knock* *Knock*
Mathael thought'WHAT!!!!' Mathael stood up from the bed and walked towards the door. He inhaled a lot of air and exhaled it a few seconds later. Mathael then put on his tiny smile on his face again before opening the door. To his surprise, it was Justice who stood at his door.
Justice asked."Do you have a moment to spare?" Mathael nodded and motioned her to come in which Justice did.
When the two of them sat on a couch, Mathael asked."What do you have on your heart, Justice?"
Justice fiddled with her finger for a few moments before asking."Can you really give some their wings back? I saw many unicorns with horns. They said that you healed them, can you do the same for me?" Justice then looked at him with those Puppy eyes only Darkness was ever able to pull off.
Mathael smiled and said."Your look is exactly like Darkness' whenever she wants something. To answer your question, yes, yes I can. I still have to give the newlings their stolen body parts back. I am going to give back everything back that the Caribous have taken from you, all happiness, all freedom and all of your birthright to soar through the skies, I will give it all back to you." Justice looked at him, with her happiness and hope-filled, eyes that were slowly and surely killing him with cuteness!! First, they weaponized rainbows and now cuteness too? And they call him EVIL!
Mathael stood up and used Havoc on all Mares who were missing something that was stolen from them. Mathael then used Orb of Harmony to heal all wounds, disease and missing limbs that made their life harder. Justices wing bones glowed in a golden light as her wings were slowly being reconstructed. Justices' burned and marked cutie mark, and her canines glowed as they were healed rapidly.
Mathael looked out of the window to see so many happy face and watering eyes that he didn't have enough time to evade Justices' hug tackle attack. Mathael sighed before returning the hug. Was it weird that she reminded him so much of Darkness that he almost thought he hugged Darkness? Well, they looked identical, nearly like twins or very similar sisters. Still, Mathael could always see the essence of every being, thus, tell all people apart from another.
Mathael said."I am sure that my Darkness will like when you to meet the other." Suddenly Justices' hugging strength increased while her happiness kept rising, he knew this thanks to his Emotion Eater. Thinking about it, it was like saying 'I will give you your sister back.'
Justice lets lose of Mathael after about five minutes of hugging, which he didn't mind at all, and said."Thank you Mathael, for everything." before walking out of his room and closing his door.
*Thud*
Mathael groaned as he rubbed his nose bridge again. This was getting a bit too much for him. All of them relied on an overpowered Genocidal Gary Stu in Stallion hide who in truth had almost no idea what to do! After having like the third midlife crisis, Mathael decided to rest a bit earlier as the last few rays of sunlight were slowly leaving the sky. He commanded his adjutant for the construction of something vast and told his Shadow Guards to relax for the night, or how he put it 'Use your free time anyway, you like.'. After Mathael was done with his commands, he fell asleep.
20 Hours later. Icy Tundra
During these 20 hours of 'peace,' Mathael slept, prepared his units, explained his Shadow Guards the attack plan and answered other questions. For example, why he didn't kill the Caribous in New Dodge Junction, the answer was simple, it bored him. This explanation seems dumb, but that's just how it was. If there was nothing at risk, no dangers or anything to fear, it just felt wrong, like if you would slaughter rapist bunnies!
Mathael was currently standing on top of the layer of ice that was about 40 meters wide and glowed with a weak blue light. Mathael inspected this weird supernatural piece of ice and could see that it was not only extraordinarily dense but also enchanted with unknown ancient energy.
Mathaels Magical Disintegration field only worked on magic that he understood, which didn't sound worrisome in the beginning, but you have to remember that Mathaels knowledge surpasses most creatures in the universe! Luckily, his Magic Immunity still worked which meant that any trap would not be able to harm him when he broke the ice, literally.
Mathael said out loud."Everyone, I suggest you take a lot of Safety distance unless you want to get blown away. You too, Argus, this will be a bit destructive." The warriors and Argus nodded and walked several dozen feet away.
Mathael inhaled deeply before breathing out a few hot flames. Mathael pulled back his right arm as its muscles began to bulge. After about five seconds, Mathael shouted."Mega Impact" before punching at the ice with such force that the ice in a 200 meters radius cracked.
*Bash*
*Boom*
Mega Impact.
Mathael combines several Spike Punches into a single devastating attack.
Argus walked up to Mathael and asked."This is everything? We wasted our time for a skeleton? This is really disappointing."
Mathael said."This corpse is not just the remainings of a creature, this is a Displaced who somehow died. But for some reason, he holds a lot of power in him. I don't know if we can save him, but his power should be useful even though I still have his DNA."
Argus asked."But Mathael, what about me? I Not to sound spoiled, but wouldn't it be more useful to let us become stronger too?"
Mathael put his hand on Argus' shoulder and said."I never said that I would take all of the power for myself. I merely stated that this power is of use to us. Feel free to take as much as you need, I only need a slither, possible just an atom."
Argus smiled before touching the corpse. Suddenly his armor and his body began to slowly freeze to an ice block. Slowly the ice started to imprison Argus, but he didn't seem to struggle, no, he smiled. Once he was completely frozen in h#the ice, his body glowed with a blue light.
When the light died down, it revealed that Argus' fur turned white and the blue glow in his eyes radiated coldness. Cracks started to appear on the ice block till it exploded into millions of pieces. Argus' head and arm hang low while he hunched forward.
Mathael asked in a cold tone while trying to hide his fear that this might have been a mistake."Argus, are you feeling well?"
Argus slowly rose to his full height and said with an emotionless expression."No." There were a few seconds of silence till Argus broke it and said with a grin."I feel powerful! I feel like I could oppose everyone and everything." Mathael clenched his fest as he prepared for a fight. Argus ended his monologue."Yet, there is still a lot to learn from you Mathael. I hope that one day, I can oppose your power and begin my own journey."
Mathael smiled as he released his clenched his fists and said."You should enjoy the moments while someone supervises you, but you are right, you will soon at least start a journey. Once we are done with this world, I shall send you on a world where you can decide what to do, unless your intentions are dark, of course."
With his sentence finished, Mathael walked up to the corpse and extracted the last bit of its energy. The corpses energy was wild and primal. I felt like the magic was alive and could form itself to any degree it wanted. Now he understood why the magic was unknown to him, because it was no magic, yet it was. The magic was primal and could turn itself into any kind of magic and spell, yet there was one speel it wanted to turn itself most at the moments. Mathael could feel that the magic was destructive and would only use it when there would be a lot to destroy in a safe area.
Suddenly a weird looking 15 feet tall robot walked in front of Argus. The were many red LEDs' on his body. His body was heavily armored, and instead of having eyes, he had a visor that was shared in a rectangle with two red glowing dots. There were several red light circles on his armor, and his knees were on the backside of the leg.
Argus said."This is Andros, Andros, this is Mathael. Andros is my an adviser."
Andros said in an emotionless tone to Mathael."Greeting, I am Andros, Adviser of Argus and sometimes his babysitter. It's a pleasure to meet" Argus glared at Andros while Mathael simply smiled and tried to hide his quiet chuckling.
Suddenly Andros rose to his full height and stayed frozen like this for a few seconds before saying."Attention! A large Caribou force is making its way towards the Crystal Empire. Suggestion: Extermination while the surrounding is in our favor of the dark legion, awaiting your answer!"
Mathael thought for a few moments before saying."Andros, please tell me where the Caribous are. I am going to deal with them personally."
Andros said."Uploading coordinates now. Caribous forces are exactly 3279 Feet south-west from our current location. The Caribou force will likely arrive in the Crystal Empire in about 16 hours."
A big smile began to creep on Mathaels face before a quick wave of black fire washed over him and revealed his armor from which every crack red light radiated. Mathael said in a deep voice."I doubt that they will ever reach their destination." before beginning to chuckle darkly and saying."Greater Teleportation" slowly while putting enough malice in his words as possible.
Argus said shortly after Mathael was gone in an annoyed tone while giving Andros a 'are you serious' look."Really? My Babysitter?" Andros simply shrugged before walking back inside of the fortifications.
A few thousand feet away from the worst possible location to build an Empire
The cold wind howled as it blew through the endless ice dessert. Its coldness was so intense that it would never allow any creature to live in this climate, and the painfully piercing wind was the end of most foolish creatures to enter this live hostile domain.
Precisely here, thousands of Caribou, almost every Soldier, and Adult Male, with a few hundred slaves for enjoyment, venture through the ice dessert on their Kings demand. The Caribous knew that if the dark demons would claim the Crystal Cock that the males of all other creatures would soon be cursed again with their tainted view of reality.
The Many Caribous were used to the cold as they lived their entire life in this climate and had barely any problems with venturing out here, but not all of them were as protected like they were. Their slaves were mostly bare to their skin, fur or scales as they were either forced to walk beside their master or pull carriages while their owner kept themselves warm with animal hide and coats. Many slaves lost a few limbs on the way here due to frostbite, but the Caribous didn't care as they then could be just chained onto a wall or used as living furniture.
One Caribou asked his superior."When can we take a break? My Cock is getting cold, and I am sure a warm cunt is exactly what the others and I need."
The Caribou commander thought for a few moments before saying."Fine. We are a few hours ahead in the time plan so why not. EVERYONE! WE TAKE A ONE HOUR BRAKE TO HAVE FUN AND HONOUR OUR GODS!" The Caribous cheered while the slaves were covering in fear at the hungry looks of the males.
Suddenly the cold wind intensified and spoke."Your gods don't exist Caribous. I was there before this meek little world existed, I was there since the dawn of time. I have watched everything happening and never have I seen your gods as they don't exist. Your gods are just an excuse to fulfill your dark deeds, but in the end, you all are claimed by Shinigami, the embodiment of death."
The Caribous commanded rapidly looked in all directions but found no one hiding. At least not in the line of sight as the falling snow prevented them from seeing a longer distance away like a fog of war. The commander screamed."SHOW YOURSELF DEMON! YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BELIEVE TO STAND A CHANCE AGAINST ALL OF US!?!"
The wind chuckled. Suddenly a trail of ice shot towards the Caribous commander but stopped a few feet in front of him. A heavily armored being was walking towards the Caribous, Mathael, the scourge of the Caribou. Many Caribous heard and saw his deeds and were already preparing to fight.
Mathaels' chuckling filled the air till it suddenly stooped. Mathael said."You know, I don't have to kill you, if you would just accept my offer. Never mistreat a female again and lose your life, ignore my warning? And die. And before you, like the rest of your pathetic kind believe in standing a chance against me, you don't."
"You will never sway us away from the true way!"
"You should just succumb and accept the true way of living!"
"Male superiority is how things are, accept it!"
"A Demon like yourself should not fight against us, alone!"
Mathaels suddenly began to laugh maniacally as his back bend backward, and steam was flowing out of his mouth and nostrils. Mathael said."Just a demon? I am a fucking Demon Lord you insects! I have crushed all ruler of hell, those who even conquered Heaven, or how you put it, Valhalla, alone and won while yawning! I have bested two Higher slaves of the Corruption like your 'Goddess' with just a third of my power at the same time!" with his sentence finished, silence reign on the soon-to-be-battlefield, or was it a massacre arena?
Mathael was slowly rising into the air as the very wind was getting stronger and faster with each passing second. Suddenly Mathales eyes glowed with a cold blue glow as he began to say in the authoritative voice."Foolish insects! You think you are powerful? I show you true power!" Mathael could feel the newly acquired power flow through his veins, this wild, new and untamable magic was his and he would use it to slaughter his foes!
The wind became stronger, and the snow became colder with each passing second. Mathael continued as his armor was slowly freezing to an iceblock and when his sentence finished, his whole body was surrounded by ice."Feel the power of the highest of all frozen liches! Fear The Wrath Of Kel'thuzad".
Suddenly the ice exploded into thousands of shards. The wind grew stronger and stronger, so powerful till the Caribou weren't even able to see the tip of their muzzles. They laughed as they believed that the wind was not able to do anything to them, but to their dismay, they were wrong. The weaker Soldiers screamed while their body was slowly being taken by the ice and snow. In mere seconds, the soldiers were frozen and only left behind an ice statue with a horrified expression. The stronger Caribous tried to escape this dark spell, but nothing they did save them. One after another was slowly frozen to a statue. The Commander whose job was to guide the Caribous safely to the Crystal empire fell on his knees, threw his sword away, and screamed curses at the top of his lungs while throwing his arms and head into the air. In just a few seconds, the whole Caribou reinforcement was killed.
The Wrath of Kel'thuzad
Unleash the frozen furry of Kel'thuzad
The wind slowly died down, so did the falling snow and the coldness of the storm. The Females were shocked, they were in the middle of the disaster, yet they were unharmed and felt nothing, nor the sharp wind or the cold snow. The cowered in fear at the sight of hundreds of thousands of Caribou soldiers, frozen in place, and the murder, who was slowly walking towards them.
When the murderer, he who bore the name of Mathael, stood in front of the Females, he did nothing. The creature known as Mathael was looking directly at the Females with his red glowing eyes. The Mare who sat closest to him was shivering in fear till she wasn't able to hold herself and urinated in front of him without even noticing it.
Mathael slowly crouched down till he was on the eyesight of the most scared mare and looked at her for a few seconds. After the few seconds were over, he put his hand somewhere behind his waist cape and pulled out a large red and fluffy blanket that he wrapped around the shivering Female.
Mathael said out loud."You and the rest of your female friends, don't need to fear me. If I wished your death, then you would be frozen as well, but I do not carve your end, mortals. I came to this frozen wasteland, as well as to this world, to help you in the battle against the Caribou. You do not need to understand my reasoning, nor accept my ways of dealing with these...animals. But Remeber, I am doing this to give you, your world back. Now I think it's time to get you somewhere safe before old little Mathael deals with the small Crystal Empire.
One Doe asked fearfully."But-But what are you going to do? You are just one Male, you are alone against thousands."
Mathael began to chuckle loudly as his eyes burned orange with power. Mathael said."I am never alone." As the storm behind him split and revealed hundreds of thousands of weird creatures that covered the ground and sky. Their screams filled the air. Some were deep, while others were high pitched, but there was one voice, one voice that was filled with power, which growls made the very ground tremble.
Crystal Empire
One Caribous Guard said to the other."Hey, did you hear the news already?"
The second Guards answered."No, what?"
The First Guards said."King Shining Armors offspring, I think she was named Flurry Heart, is going to be taught to become a real cunt tomorrow."
The Second Guards eyes widened and said."Really?! That's awesome! I hope that Shinning will let one of us Guards have the very first round with her!"
The FIrst Guards said."I know, right! Let's hope that he isn't going to go soft on her because it's his child- wait!? What is that on the horizon?"
Both Guards looked as far away as they could. A single dog like creature ran out of the snowstorm of war. More of these weird creatures began to run towards the walls as well, then another, then 10, 50, 100, 1000, 1000 more charged towards the walls. In mere seconds, a wave of claws and teeth charged towards them. The entire icy ground was hidden as far as the eye could see!
Suddenly a pair of chain scythes shot out of the army if death and wrapped themselves around a watchtower. In just a few seconds, the entire tower was covered in cracks. A weird creature made out of burning metal pulled itself up with the chain in the blink of an eye and pulled on the weapons. *Crack*. The Tower broke off the wall. The metal Creature swung the tower in a wide arc and threw almost all guards off the wall into the army of death before setting the tower aflame and throwing it onto the air towards the inner part of the Crystal Empire. *Boom*. The tower exploded before raining down upon the Caribou warriors inside like a meteor shower.
*Growl*
Out of the frozen fog of war, charged a gigantic monster with enormous blades charged towards the wall with supernatural speed. The creature was hundreds of feet high, its entire body was covered with carapace, and it wielded four giant claws. On top of the Creature sat the very leader of this nightmarish force, Mathael.
Mathael commanded his mount.'Destroy the walls and any siege weaponry they possess, but leave the civilian building alone, Omegalisk.' The Omegalisk responded with another powerful scream.
(Omegalisk)
*Growl*
The humongous creature that was feared as the Emoegalisk closed the distance between itself and the wall in just a few seconds till collided with the Crystal with such force that it cracked. *Crack*. When the wall cracked, and the zerg were attacking the wall more furiously, Mathael jumped off the war beast on top of the barely standing wall.
The Guards saw this, but Mathael didn't even react. Six Vikings transformed into assault mode in mid-air, before falling on top of the wall and shooting the Caribou Guards down with their machine Gun. Mathael smiled under his helmet before jumping down.
The Caribous saw this and 20 of them charged Mathael simultaneously, but they somehow charged through him? The Caribou Guards didn't even saw what happened. After they Charged through Mathael, they stopped after a few steps before *Splash* exploding into a gory mess. Mathael was faster than the eye could see.
*Boom*
His zerg units brached the city and were lead by Dullahan, who once again, was ridding his horse whose name Mathael didn't know yet. Mathael smiled as his troops were crashing down upon his enemies like a wave thats about to crush a city. The Caribous tried to run, but the zerg were faster.
All Caribous in the city ran towards the Crytsal palace in the middel of the city and formed a defensive wall around it. Mathael was shoking his head in amusement while casualy making his way towards the frontline. Although it looked like he was just letting his midn wander, in truth he was deep in thoughts. He was trying to form the new energy into a spell and succeded.
Mathael could already see the forifications of the Caribou. He shouted.Nine Burning Hells! Dragon Strike!. Suddenly nine red spells matirixed appeared in the air. From each spell matrix, shoot out a ethereal, burning dragon head that flew high up in the sky before craching down upon the Craibous, leaving behind only a few survivers that were barely out of the blast zone.
Nine Burnin Hells! Dragon Strike!
This attack allows Mathael to shoot out ethereal dragon heads that can cause a lot of impact and surrounding damage. All 'Nien Burning Hell' attacks need to be activated in battle first by acitvating any speel of its kind before the use can 'Spam' or rather freely use these attacks without shouting its name.
Mathael walked caualy towards the Crytalls Palaces entrnece, but felt like sommeone was grabbing his leg. Mathael looked down and saw a Caribou soldier or rather half a warrrior as his whole lower body was missing. Mathael knew that he would not survive this and raised his other leg before squashng the Caribous head with his hoof. The grip of the corpse weakened before it, like all other emaining of Mathaels foes, turned into exp.
After Mathael was done with thischilds play, he walked towards the entrance and saw that it was blocked off by a huge gate that was infused with dozens of runes, spells and the dust of an Alicorn horn, Princess Mi Amore Cadenzas' horn. Mathael inspected the door before saying out loud."What a waste of magic and a creatures limb."
Mathael raised a single finger and touched the gate with his claws. Mathael could feel how the magic was dying in the door as his magical imunity was poisonous for Magic. Since evertyhing that remained was, crytsal, which was like glas for him, he applied small amounts of pressure with his claw. In an heartbeat, cracks covered the entire Gate before it shattered into millions of crystal shards.
Mathael smiled under his helmet as he walked inside the Crystla EMpire like he owned it. Ahh~ being bad without being evil, so bittersweet like an aged wine... Come to think about it, Mathael never drank a wine in his whole life. He shrugged the idea of becoming an alcoholic off and continued his walk towards the ruler of the Emire without hesistation... Why was this calleld a Empire again? I mena, you need a few more cities to be called an empire, but all I can see is a single crystall city on the flank of the world- how did you all not starve by now!!!
He sighed before snapping his fingers and pointed his index finger at the ground in front of him. Suddenly the ground glowed in a yellow light, before Mathael said."Spawn Hunter Killers" as suddenly 12 hydralisks bursted out of the ground. These Hunter Killers were moddified Hydralsiks, but thanks to Mathaels superior knowledge on how to weave strains and DNA, they were much more powerful in all categories and would not die in a few minutes.
(Mathaels' Hunter Killers)
Mathael knew that these halls were far to tight for his zerg to swamr the halls, so he decided to create a few elite units. They were very powerul as they were created from his magic and his exp. Of course, their power would never rival the one of a Shadow Guards, but still were able to kill some Templar before being overwhelmed.
He commande half of them to slither one step to his right and two steps behing him while the other half would do the same on his left side. With the order being made, they began to walk through the halls, but where surprised to not see a single Guard, no Caribou nor Stallion. There were some 'Maidens' that were hidding in the gueast rooms. Mathael really wanted to confort them, but he knew that this was not the situation to play the 'G...G...G-Good Guy...'. This was harder to think than it should've been.
He knew exactly were the throne room was, thansk to his Echolocation, but decided to just causaly walk through the halls. He looked around and was surorised how beatiful this castle looked. Sure, there were one too many pictures of Shinning Armor fucking Cadenza, but besides that, the crytsal made this palace look beautiful. The sun light shined through the walls jst enough to not feel like being in a real castle.
After a few more minutes, Mathael reached the biggest room in the entire Palace, but was suroirsed how little defenses there were. he checked for traps, but found noting but a plane crystal door. He shrugged before openeing. When he was inside the room, his jaw almost dropped as his eyes meet the oldest enemy he has ever faced in his whole life, no, the entire span of his souls existances!
Stairs...
Mathael groaned loudly, loud enough to make the entire Empire hear his groan of annoyance! He sighed loudly before slowly walking up the hundreds, if not thousands of stair-steps. Seriously, there was just one large staircase that went up for hundreds, if not thousands of feet.
When he, and his Hunter Killers, finally reached the top, he suddenly realized something so important that he facepalmed with such force that the crystal floor under his hooves cracked. HE COUDL'VE JUST FLOWN UP HERE! He sighed before telling himself that controlling all those zerg was the reason for his idiocy and not his block-head.
He groaned before kicking open the door and saw one long, empty corridor that went towards the Throne room. Exelent. He smiled as he walked towards the Door and again, there was no resistance. Mathael was no fool, he knew that the best place to barricade themselves would either be in the Throne room or possibly in uncle Sombras 'Candy' Basement.
Before he would end this madness, he commanded his zerg to return to Zergus through the same portal they came and return to their 'usual' businesses. If you're asking what Mathael meant with that, then it's simple. Mathael would release the Zerg, to hunt and live their own life till he needed them again, why else do you think Mathael created such huge planets if he was just using so little space?
After the command was given and made sure that enough Terran and shadow warriors remained to hold the place under control, he walked in front of the gate. This Gate, like the last one, was, in Pony term, an indestructible defense. Although this Gate was different, it was much older than the front gate, as if it was as old as the castle itself!
Mathael nodded before shrugging as he considered for a moment to not blow up the door, but nah! Mathael wasn't in that mood at the moment. He lifted his right leg before delivering such a powerful kick that the gate broke off the wall and shot towards the floor before shattering into millions of pieces.
When he had clear sight of what was happening inside the Throne room, his jaw almost dropped in shock. In the middle of the room sat a certain draconequus, but with slight differences. At first, it was a she, Eris, who wore a collar. This Collar was clearly draining her magic as he could feel the magic signature leaving her body rapidly.
Mathael was about to walk towards Eris but was stooped when he realized that, besides the draconequus, were many Caribous and Ponies. The one who stood out from all of the rapists was none other than Shining Di- Armor who held the leash to Eris' collar and glowed with power.
Shinning armor wore his captain armor with the slight difference, One of them was that there was a symbol of a Caribou hoof on his armor, signalizing that he's Dainn servant and the fact that he wore a crown on which were three horns. On the crown was what was remained of his 'Wifes' horn and Eris' horns.
Shining Amor demanded."Surrender Demon, you no longer stand a chance against us!"
Mathael glared for a few moments at Shining armor before saying in a mocking tone."That is everything you got?"
There was a loud collective gasp from all Males in the room. Shining Armor said."What?! I hold the power of the love cunt, Eris the former spirit of chaos and my glorious power! What do you have?"
Mathael began to laugh loudly before saying."And that's it! Eris there is just the spirit of Chaos, but I have bested the most powerful reality warpers, some even that was able to kill gods, or were only able to be defeated by three deities! I have bested all of them and all of your magic on this world together is still nothing to me. You should just listen to this one sentence. Your world matters little in the grand scheme of things as there are beings who can just destroy it with the blink of an eye."
Mathael could see how Shining Armor was gnashing his teeth. Suddenly his horn was surrounded by a pink aura before he shoots a laser towards Mathael that made him and his Hunter Killers when the beam hit them, the smoke made them vanish from eyesight. The Males began to laugh while Eris was quietly sobbing. Suddenly the smoke was lifting and revealed Mathael who was curled up the entire beam into a big ball of magic that was shrinking within a quarter second into nothingness.
Mathael said."Like I said, you have nothing that can hurt me at all. Hunter Killers, kill the Caribou and intercept the other Males, but leave Shining Armor to me." The Hunter-Killers nodded before shooting spikes at the Males. The Males conjured a few shields, but these defenses were destroyed in mere seconds before the Caribous died and the Stallions were shot in the knees. (No Meme intended).
Suddenly Mathael burst into flames, revealing his Pony form. Mathael said."Are you pleased with the way of how you live? I saw it in the memories of the Caribous I slaughtered. You betrayed everyone that cared for you. Your Sister, your family, and even your own wife and child. If you were under the influence of the Crystal Cock, then I would've just closed an eye, but you went too far, and now it's time for your punishment."
Shining Amros response was a dumb one as he charged towards Mathael with furry in his eyes and a sword in his hands. Mathael sighed before dashing in front of his with such speed that Shining Armor didn't even notice him. Mathael grabbed his horn with his right hand and flicked his sword into oblivion with the other.
Mathael lifted the unicorn high up into the air before saying."Orb of Suffering" as suddenly a purple orb appeared in Mathaels left hand. Mathael slowly brought the orb to Shinings chest before it phased through his ribs.
Shining Armor screamed as his whole body glowed in a purple light that blinded everyone in the throne room. Mathael lets go of his horn while Shining yelled and awaited the result as he had no idea what would happen. When the light died out, it revealed the work of the Orb. Mathael looked at the ground and saw Shining armor who was rubbing his forehead before screaming in a high pitch tone as he realized one thing. He turned into a Mare!
Mathael thought.'Ehm... That was not anticipated...'
Mathael said out loud."Hmm... I personally hoped that your dick would fall off, but this is fine with me. Be happy, you are able to see another day if you don't screw this chance up that is."
Mathael then snapped his fingers to vaporize the collars of Eris and Cadence. Mathael was slightly disgusted to see poor little Cadence in a state where she was proudly 'leaking' in public while 'enjoying' herself. Brrr. Some self-respect would be an excellent gift to her once she has her mind back.
With his thoughts thought, Mathael walked up to a window, activated his ki and *Shatter* flew through the crystal panel. When he was outside, he flew up the spire as he had no interest in pleasuring King Sombras Staircase addiction.
When he reached his destination, the top of the Crystal Palace, he saw it, the Crystal... Cock. This artifact was surrounded by Caribou Guards who wore equipment that was on Larios level but still was pathetic. Mathael casually walked towards the artifact while the Caribous charged at him. Mathael yawned at their dumb attempt to impale him on a spear. Mathael formed his arms into an 'X' before swinging them away from each other and shooting such a powerful wind at the Caribous that they were blown off the top of the Spire. Mathael smiled to see his Airbender Powers finally coming into a offensive use again.
Mathael ignored the Caribou screams before the big splat came. Mathael had no idea what to do with the Crystal Cock and, honestly, he wasn't really interested in its magic. I mean, come on! A Cock? Seriously? Mathael pushed the random thought away before enveloping the Crystal Cock with his hands. Mathael brought the jewel Penis in front of his face and stared at it for a few seconds.
Mathael thought'Hmmm... Interesting. The Crystal Hearts original function was to transform love and happiness into power, but they added Eris' disharmony to it and formed it into something else. The Crystal Cock transforms pain and pleasure into power, but since dark emotions are more powerful, the Lust spread across all of Equestria. These Caribou have so much potential if they would just have chosen a different path! *Mental Sigh* Why am I the one to deal with literal idiots.'
Mathael put the Crystal Cock into his pocket dimension, but instantly saw something terrible on the horizon when he did that. Without the Artifact, the Crystal Empire would freeze to an ice block. He thought for a few moments but decided that this was not his problem. Mathael just needed to evacuate the Empire and later melt the ice, no problem. Besides, There were still some Caribou outpost in the north that would starve if they wouldn't get food from the soon to be an ice-cub city.
Mathael commanded his troops to evacuate all Mortals to Stalliongrad through a portal he would soon open and Argus to pick up everything they stationed in this frozen hell. When the command was given, he pointed his index finger down at the city walls and said"Gate" which created one colossal Gate that would allow his troops to escape.
When his troops entered the portal, he was the last one in the freezing Empire, but he didn't mind the cold. In fact, Mathael liked to be alone in a big city, sure it soon would be lonely, but he finally had one second where he was not needed. When the frost was slowly creeping up the spire, he used a simple teleportation spell to bring him to Canterlot as he had to pick up someone or two import Ponies.
Canterlot
Mathael teleported him inside a dark alley he saw during his first visit in his Equestria. Mathael was surprised to see that it was already dark, well, it was hard to judge time if you couldn't see the sun, nor knew how physics worked in this world. Mathaels first deed was to transform himself into his Shadow Heart form and created a few thousand bits in advance and changed cloth into a pair into blue jeans and a black T-shirt on which was written 'Jerk.' Let's see how many get that reference.
With a smile, he exited the alley and saw what Canterlot became. Of course, he could've just teleported inside the castle, but he wanted to enjoy himself too while picking up a few 'souvenirs.' After a few minutes of walking, he 8 spotted what was suppose to be a Club called 'The Bat Cave.' I feel offended, and I am sure it contains 100% less Batman.
With a shrug, he entered the club, he already regrets it. It stunk like an orgy, urine, and alcohol. Is this how the youth enjoys themselves nowadays? I feel so old. Mathael sighed before looking around and how the Males enjoyed themselves with talking to other Males or dancing. It surprised him that the Females were allowed to stand on their hooves and dance too, but only a few were as the rest was fucked senseless.
Mathael rolled his eyes before walking towards an empty couch in the edge of the club and sitting down while crossing his arms. After a few minutes, a bat Pony Mare came towards him, on her body where many words, written in neon colors. Some of these words were Cunt, cum dump, and several others, but the thing that disturbed him was that she was smiling. Thinking again, Bat Ponies were treated like shit in Canterlot before so this was an actual upgrade to their previous situation.
The Bat Mare asked."What can I bring you, Master?"
Mathael answered bluntly."Information." Saying this caused the Bat Mare to lose her rhythm and stare at him in confusion.
The Bat Mare asked shyly."Ehm, e-excuse me? i-I didn't understand?"
Mathael leaned forwards and asked."Information. Why are you so happy? I have seen others who look less enthusiastic, so what's your reason?" The Mare began to sweat bullets as she stared at Mathael.
The Bat Mare asked."Why of course, I am simply enjoying the light of- You are not buying it." Mathael shock his head. The Bat Mare groaned and said."Simple, Nowadays, we Bat Ponies don't have to be scared of Nobles and racists who don't want us in their world. As for me being so happy? Let's just say I had something called 'Being very kinky and sex addicted': Why do you care by the way? never heard someone ask me this before."
Mathaels jaw hangs wide open, and he was sure that if he wasn't careful that his jowl would dislocate and fall on the floor. Mathael cleared his throat and said."I am just curious. But still, thanks for the help." Mathael then pulled out 120 bits and put them on the table, one 100 Bitcoin, and a 20-bit coin.
The Bat Mare asked in a confused tone."Why are you giving me money? That's enough for a premium week card. Did you change your mind?"
Mathael was blushing and said."N-No. I am sorry, but I have no interest. I just came here to see what 'the youth' likes nowadays. Also, because Caanterlot is the last city that isn't burned to the ground, yet." With his sentence finished, he passed the paralyzed Bate Mare before leaving 'the Bat Cave.'
When Mathael was outside, he decided that he would visit one more building before entering Camelot, now with 107% more sex. The nearest shop that caught his eye a pet store, what they are selling, was no riddle. Mathael walked to the Store while regretting not buying a drink in the club to drown the last of his sane brain cells. CRAP! He was immune to alcohol! NOOOO!
After a long and deep sigh of disappointment and to honor Vodka, Mathael entered the 'Pet Store' and was close to wonder why he hasn't burned down the city yet. The entire store was filled with cages in which Females were stuffed. Seriously, The Females had barely enough space to move!
Mathael walked up to the shopkeeper and asked."Hello, good, sir. I would like to... Purchase a few Mares."
The Shop Keeps eyes glimmered a bit when he heard this. He was an earth Stallion with a brown coat and blond coat. He said."Sure thing, partner. We have everything from small cunts to big ones, and that goes across various species. So, which ones do you want?"
Mathael said."All of them." The ShopKeep laughed loud as he thought he misheard Mathael request.
The Earth Pony asked."Ehm, come again? You want to buy... all of them? Are you sure you can afford that many, or handle so many?"
Mathael rolled his eyes before throwing 2880 bits on the counter and saying."Yes, I am sure I want to buy that many, but now it's not the time to talk, but to sleep." The ShopKeep was about to ask something, but Mathael interfered and pointed his finger at him before saying."Sleep".
*Thud*
Mathael smiled at the sleeping Shop Keeper, so vulnerable, so helpless. Mathael shocks his head before looking around the shop and seeing that all eyes were on him. Mathaels' horn glowed and teleported all Mares to Stalliongrad. Our Protagonist was starting to wonder if he wasn't spoiled by his powers. Mathael was sure that it would even take Celestia a couple attempts to teleport such a long distance alone. He, on the other hand, was teleporting dozens of entities across hundreds of miles without even noticing it.
Mathael said to himself."I am starting to question my own sanity... I am a sadistic, brutal, cruel, emotionally unstable megalomaniac, sometimes depressed and self-doubting. Is it possible that I am already sitting in a rubber room? Nah... I really should stop talking to myself." With his thoughts spoken, Mathael used his Shadow Walk to enter the Castle without having anyone notice him.
Canterlot Castle
In the throne room of the slave king, two monsters, cruel in their own, yet similar way, discussed their future plan to the other. The first of these two was none other than King Dainn himself while the other was Lysandra, one of the Corruptions stronger warriors.
Lysandra was slowly becoming more desperate with each passing second. Lysandra didn't fear Mathael, but what to do was what was eating her. What would Lysandra tell her master? 'Sorry, I killed Mathael, but in the process, I absorbed Sindrael because I am not strong enough to hold his essence and wasted all Seed of Corruption that I gathered on this world, sorry.'
Lysandra sighed before saying."This is a disaster! Not only am I not getting any support, but also have to waste all my savings! How could this get any worse!"
Mathael was listening from the shadows and was quite surprised to see what 'The goddess' looked like. She had the head of a pink Pony, but her body was very insect-like with red and black chitin that was armored on many limbs. She had a big pair of insect wings and four huge Spider legs that grew out of her back. She also had a Spider abdomen on her a few centimeters above her butt. Her Hands were the one of a pink Pony, but there were long sharp claws, and her legs were digitigrade with extra forelegs that end with hocks. She had big breasts, butt and other appealing looking body parts that made it clear why the Caribous called her a Goddes'. Mathael also guessed that she must be quiet powerful.
Sindrael thought with anger and disappointment from the depths of Mathaels very being.How Have you idiot not noticed us yet!? We are literally standing here!
Dainn was about to say something, but suddenly a purple flame ignites in Lysandra's hand, revealing a letter. Lysandra opened the letter and read out its information. Lysandra said."Dear Lysandra Blah blah blah, after rethinking the situation we come to the decision that you are allowed to do anything needed to win the battle. Our Master deemed Sindrael as unworthy as he was not only defeated twice but also has not tried to return to him since far too many millions of years. If you are able to win this battle, you are allowed to melt into one creature after your victory against Mathael."
Mathael and Sydrael thought at the same time'What!!!/What?'
King Dainn asked in a confused tone."Melt? What does that mean? Are you going to die to become stronger?"
Lysandra smiled with a head-splitting grin and said."No, you fool! Melting means that two creatures become one. Since Sindrael, as powerful as he may be, has no physical body, I won. Sidrael will die, but I gain his powers and knowledge, of course, my character will change slightly, but I still will be me. Isn't that great?"
Sindrael thought in shock.´But... How. I-I was the stronger´st, the smartest and most useful-
'-Tool' Mathael finished his thoughts.
Sindrael thoughts.'Huh?'
Mathael thought.'You Maybe be most potent Warrior of the Corruption, the smartest and best utensil in the highest self that the Corruption has, but you still are just a tool that will be thrown away when you are useless. Don't be sad about it, you could've won this war, and even then you would be thrown away when your 'Master' has no longer use for you.'
Sindrael thoguht so quitly that Mathael didn't notice it....Not bad, Mathael, I underestimated you. Truly, not bad...
After Mathael was done with spying on the Corruptions slave, he began to sneak through the halls, or rather on its walls. So many Corridors to slither through, so many rooms in which unspeakable things were done, and there he was, just a shadow on the wall.
Mathael was quite surprised to see that most of the decoration was still in place, but on the other hand, it wasn't. Through the Caribou minds he consumed, he found out that the Caribou only invaded about a year and a half ago. Since their lust was so intense, he blamed Neigh Agra and the 'Sex goddess' on that, they were not very busy with meaningful actions. It would not surprise if the Caribous and all Equestria will die out because of these wasteful and greedy creatures.
After some more sneaking through the dead halls, he saw a surprising sight. The Sun Princess herself was sneaking through the empty corridors. Mathael was saddened to see Celestia with a branded cutie mark that symbolized a chained sun, her clipped wings, her horn cut and a pair of latex gloves and boots that kept her from walking on two legs. Mathael was disgusted but was interested how far the Princess would come.
Princess Celestia crept through the falls as quietly as she could, yet, she could not get rid of the feeling that she was watched. Her heart beat loudly and adrenaline pumped through her veins. She was playing this game long enough, and now she had the chance to escape and do something.
Celestia didn't know what she feared more, the Caribous twisted minds, or this new beings wrath. Celestia could only hope that this new being didn't want to end them all, in all of her years, she never saw this much death and destruction. Celestia, at first, thought that this would be the new hope for Equestria, but seeing how he destroyed entire cities without caring, was not very reassuring.
Celestia's eyes widened when she heard the muffled moans of Mares. Celestia pecked through a half-open doorway and saw something genuinely disgusting. In the room where rows of Mares, shackled, chained, retained and whipped. Every hole was filled with a toy, their wings were cliped, and their horns were cut off, taking away their magic forever. These poor Mares once were proud guards, but now, they were just dirty sex toys and only washed by dumping cold water at them. Celestia whispered a few words of comfort that only the nearest Mare, heard. The Mre recognized the voice and struggle. The Princess looked away before crawling further down the halls while trying to not be overwhelmed by the heartbreaking pleas of the poor Mares.
Mathael stoked his shadowy chin and was surprised that it felt like touching a cloud, a very tough and dense fog, but still quite soft. Suddenly Mathael felt a tap on his right shoulder. Mathael looked behind himself and, to his surprise, he saw that it was Jerry who greeted him. Mathael was unsure how this worked but accepted it. Jerry pointed at his head and Mathaels 'eyes' widened when he saw a crown. Mathael thought if Jerry was the Shadow King, and Jerry nodded rapidly and happily. It did make sense considering that he came with the Shadow soul, that he is powerful and essential. Mathael told Jerry to follow Celestia while he was busy with taking the trash out. Jerry nodded before vanishing in the shadows.
Mathael slowly slithered into the room and was disgusted by sight. These poor Mare had to go through so much pain and did so little to deserve such a fate. Mathael wanted to make these Caribous suffer. Mathael entered the room and pressed against the doors' shadow, suddenly the door closed and the key turned, locking all of them in.
The Caribous stopped their activities and investigated the door. The Key laid on the ground, but when a caribou was about to pick the key up, it and his hand were dragged into the shadows. The Caribous began to panic and beat against the door, it was useless, Mathael reinforced the door with his magic and made sure no sound would leave this room.
One Caribou shouted."What is happening ?! This is wrong!"
The Shadow spoke."Wrong? No, this is just the way I think things should be. The weak rule over the strong, in this case, the Males over the Females. You won the war, you were stronger, and now you're living like in the garden Eden. Now I have come, I already have won this fight, and I can decide whatever happens. Isn't that right, my dear, mortal friends?"
Another Caribou screamed."Show yourself, coward!"
The Shadow Laughedand said."Coward? Coward!? HAHAHAHAH You call me the coward? That's just glorious. You are the one who beats, whips and rapes weak innocent and helpless Mares while I am just slowly breaking your mind, oh wait! You are doing that too!"
Suddenly the fire in the fireplaces' fire out and the candles flames went out. There were a few seconds of silents till the chimneys flames reignited with black flames. Out of the fire walked a regular Unicorn. The Caribous looked from the bottom of his feet to his head. He wore regular pants, a weird short and... and. The Stallions had a vast maw, his head almost split in too as the monster smiled an revealed dozen of rows of teeth. Its eyes were empty, and his claws were several inches long.
The Creature spoke in a surprisingly normal tone."You see this? This is me when I manipulate my body. I can and am everything and everyone. I can be one of your fellow guards, I can be your coffee mug, I can be a bird on a tree, and I can even be the porn magazine you there are hiding under your bed so you won't have to share with your friends."
The Stallions whole body suddenly turned black and melted into a big puddle on the ground. Out of the pool, a substantial black wolf crawled out. There was no feature on the animal besides the black outlines and the dark body, the only visible detail was its red glowing eyes. The beast was massive and was even more significant that the Caribou Guards when it was standing on all fours. The shadow monster snarled before pouching at the Caribous, ripping them apart. The slaves could only imagine what was happening beside their backs as their former rapists were torn apart while their screams filled the room, but no sound made it past the door.
After several minutes, the door opened, and the dark creature walked out, revealed a bloody nightmare inside, but no sign of the bound slaves that were transported somewhere else, somewhere safe. The shadow Wolf gave the bloodbath one more look before following the shadow kings traces. After several seconds, he found the Shadow and the solar Princess who stared inside a room, Luna's room.
The shadow Wolf walked towards the wall and turned into a shadow again. The wolf looked inside the room and saw a sight that made his blood boil or whatever was flowing through his veins at the moment. Luna was chained to a bed while a fat Caribou was beating her while smiling maniacally. The wolfs stared at the fat Caribou with all his anger before closing its eyes for several seconds. When the wolf opened them, they were burning with rage and concentrated his wrath on the heart of the real animal.
The Fat noble said while beating in Luna's face."Hah... Maybe now you finally realize that you are no longer in power. We have won, and you should bend already! Any obligations?" Luna tried to force words out, but it was too much pain. The Noble gripped Lunas tight roughly before turning her on her belly and positioning his fat dick in front of her rear. Suddenly the Fat Caribou stopped and clutched his chest, he winced and tried to get away, but failed as his already dead body fell to the ground.
Celestia's eyes widened when she saw this. She rapidly looked in all directions. When the former Princess looked at the wall behind her, she saw nothing, but when she turned away, the red glowing eyes returned. The old solar Princess slowly crawled inside the room towards her sister. When she reached her sister, she hugged her and began to silently cry as she thought the moon Princesses life light died out.
The Lunar Princess coughed a bit of blood before answering."I am still here, Sister. What happened." The Moon Princess looked her sister in the eyes. Luna rubbed her eyes when she thought that she saw four red eyes on the wall.
Celestia hugged her sister even harder before releasing her and saying."Luna, we must flee fast. No is not the time to talk, come along." The Moon Princess nodded and tried to get off the bed without hurting herself too much. When the two of them were on the ground, Celestia guided her sister through the halls while the shadow Wolf was, in truth, guiding them.
The wolf in the shadows was impressed by the Princesses sneaking skills were impressive. The Princesses crouched through halls and were not noticed, but a few times were very close to being detected by patrols. After a few minutes, they reached the ballroom. The shadow Wolf raised an eyebrow when he was questioning the Solar Princess sanity. Celestia looked at a wall for several seconds before grabbing a loose stone and pulling it away, revealing a secret tunnel outside. The Shadow smiled and made its way out through a window as it would not want to risk getting himself spotted.
The Princesses crawled through the ancient tunnel. Their path to freedom was one that was filled with cobwebs and rat corpses, but it was still their only hope to escape this nightmare. Inch for inch, they crawled deeper into the dark tunnel and after several minutes, they exited the castle and were greeted by the sight of the moon once again. It pained Luna's heart to see her moon, taken away by the Caribous, forever.
Celestia knew that her sisters' pain and nuzzled her sister before giving her a look of determination. Both Princesses nodded before continuing their journey. The Princesses crawled from blind spot to blindspot while using bushes and shadows to their advantages. When the freedom was in sight, the Castle guards and the end of their journey, a voice from behind said something that destroyed their hopes and possible a bit of Celestia's Flank skin.
A Caribou Guard swung his whip at Celestia's Flank. He shouted."Stupid Cunts! Did you really think we would let you escape."
The Princesses pupils shrank when they saw seven Caribous with an entire dog pack in tow. The Princesses demanded."Why are you doing this?! What did we ever do to deserve this!" She shouted as a few tears formed in the corner of her eyes.
A Caribou Guard was about to answer the question as a bush suddenly shake. A dog sniffed in the Bushs direction and snarled before punching into the plant. After the dog jumped in, there was silence for several seconds until an enormous wolf exited the bushed with its teeth in the throat of the dog. The Wolf Threw the corpse away before howling at the moon. Suddenly dozens of similar, but smaller, shadow Wolfes jumped out of all covers and shadows, surrounding the Caribous.
The highest ranked Caribou, a commander, shouted."What in the hell is going on? What are you beasts doing here!?"
To everyone surprise, the big wolf answered in an intense tone that sounded almost like growling."I ask myself this question too whenever I see you Animals in these lands."
Luna asked nervously."Y-You where the one that helped us?" the wolf nodded.
The Caribou commander shouted."So you even admit it? In the name of King Dainn, you are under arrest." The Caribou then grabbed a horn that was strapped to his waist and blew it. The sound rang through all halls. The Caribou smiled for several seconds before he noticed that nothing happened. He shouted."What?! Are they all sleeping?"
The Wolf laughed like a demonic flower again before explaining."No, your horn works, but I am blocking all sounds you make and don't even try to run, you are stuck here in an invisible barrier, with me." The Caribou hope was slowly vanishing.
The Wolf continued."So, what do you think will happen? You will win? Unlikely. You escaping? No chance. Your death? That is what will happen, but let me first tell you something important. There is no afterlife. At least not anymore."
The Caribou commander asked."What is that suppose to mean? We will probably die, but our warrior spirits will ascend into the heavens!"
The Wolf chuckled in a normal tone."No, there is no heaven where you will ascend, anymore at least. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an unstoppable force that murdered the rulers of hell, champions of heaven, death itself and all the gods I have faced, beings who created entire universes. I am older than time itself, in fact, part of me, and 9 other beings, where responsible for the creation of all. I won't bore you with the details, but my 'friend,' Lauren Faust, the goddess of light, is not happy with what you have done on this planet. I, Mathael, God of Darkness, could not just watch you do such gruesome acts to Faust's little Ponies, so here where are. hmpf, quite funny, you got the chance to meet your maker." The Caribous were not buying this, but the Princesses knew and feared the truth. The Gods have developed to aid them in this hopeless battle to bring light, or at least justice, to Equestria.
The Shadow Wolf said emotionless."I am so sorry to say this, but you are not saveable any more dirty scum. Rip them apart and return to your shadows, my wolves of the night." The Wolves didn't waste a second before they pounced at the Caribous and other dogs. The defenders were ripped apart by the shadow wolves that wore the names Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, and, you guessed right, Olaf. Mathaels eyes glowed with red light as the Princesses were enveloped by a black aura and a Portal opened behind them. The Shadow Wolf put the Princesse on its back before walking through the portal without even giving the dying and screaming Caribou one last look.
Stalliongrad: Mathaels room.
A large portal opened in Mathaels room from which a colossal shadow wolf walked out. After the Wolf exited the gate, it didn't close for several seconds until many shadows, that resembled wolfs, all formed into the darkness of a very overpowered creature.
After the shadows were done with their business, the shadow wolf levitated his cargo off his back, onto his bed so it could rapidly melt before turning into a black puddle on the floor. When the entire wolf melted, the pool formed itself into the all know and feared Mathael.
Mathael stretched out his limbs which emitted a few loud pops that made the former Princesses cringe while making him sigh in pleasure. Mathael then cracked his neck a few times before asking."So... Is there anything you too would want to do before you go to sleep?"
Princess Celestia suddenly fell on her knees and began to pray. The Solar Princess said as she folded her hands and tears leaked from her eyes."Praise Faust for sending you. Praise you for helping us. Thank you so much." Celestia closed her eyes, only to feel someone touch her shoulder. When she opened her eyes, she saw it was Mathael who was rubbing his nose bridge.
Mathael said."*Sigh*. Princesses, there is One thing you should know. I hate being praised or seen as a god because of this damn title. Don't judge me for my deeds, don't judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell and stood up again. I am not more important than your average Stallion, I am not, nor am I looking down on you mortals. I, too, was like you, a normal mortal, but through many fights, lessons that have been hard learned, loos, pain and so much more I became stronger because... Becuase I don't want anyone to suffer like I did, ever again. When you are around me, then please, address me as Mathael."
Mathael thought.'Please Work! I shouldn't have said the whole, Part of me taking part in the creation, which wasn't even a lie. The Soul of Darkness was a part of me, so where its memories and powers, but why did Faust want me to talk so highly of me?! I know that I am supposed to give them hope that 'The Gods' ascended from heaven to save their children, to give them hope, but why me?!!'
The Pony Princesses mouth stood agape while their eyes were wide opened. They were literally standing in front of a being that took part in the creation of all, he and their literal makers didn't want to be seen worth as more? He could look at them like insect and wouldn't even be wrong, yet, he was so much more humble than most nobles in Canterlot.
Luna asked."Why?"
Mathael chuckled before snapping his fingers and using his reality warping powers to give them back their wings, horns, and cloths. Mathael then teleported himself in between the Princesses and said."I am not like Faust, Princesses. Faus want to guide you to a better tomorrow, while that is a noble goal, the way she does is not mine. I am darkness, I am the eternal judge. I bring justice where there is none and then vanish, but I am not as cruel as you might think. I honor all life and save as much as I can, I see much more in a being that one ever could see and that's how I judge, I see the greater picture. I destroyed New Dodge Junction and the Crystal Empire, but no innocent got harmed. I saved Males, Females, even a few good Caribous as I don't want them to die out. I did this. No, my job, already on many other worlds and I will co continue on this one too, when I am done, then I am going to return to my normal life with my friends. You hear right, I don't live in a magnificent palace or anything like that, I live with my Mare, my friends and I am happy that no one knows who I really am because I don't want to be seen as something I am not."
Mathael smiled when he looked at the Princesses who no longer had a shocked expression, but a happy one. Mathael stood up and said."Anyways, I think It's time for you to introduce yourselves to the others while I prepare myself for the last battle. My old enemy has been corrupting this world for far too long, and he and his slave shall burn for all the wolds they set aflame."
Both Princesse gulped simultaneously when they heard Mathaels sentence. There was a creature that was responsible for this world and many other sufferings that was strong enough to enrage a literal god?! The Princesses sighed as they realized that they were apparently out leagued, but would do their best to support their Ponies. The two sisters stood up, thanked for Mathaels help, and exited the room.
Once when the Mares were gone, Mathael summoned his secret journey from his pocket dimension. He opened and smiled to see all the entries and every wisdom he gathered was noted inside it. He put the book on his table and created a pen to write another entry.
Freedom... does not exist. No matter how hard we try, we have always lived under some kind of rule, be it under a stronger being, the laws of the universe or just our own limited mind. If we try to free ourselves from these chains, then you see more of all, but also more chains.
The Chains become more and more the further you drift away from the rules that bound the old you. Yet, you can reach a point where you are indeed free from all laws that a being is or ever can put on you. When you reached this point, then you are most likely an all-powerful, omnipotent creature with unimaginable power and wisdom, but you are still chained or even a slave, to your own stubbornness.
If you reach the state of real independence, then you are not free, you are alone but free, is it worth it though, the answer is no. We are never free, but is this a bad thing to be chained to reality? No, it isn't. You should not bow to reality, but you should not free yourself from it. Power and freedom can't make you strong, it makes you weak. The only way to become truly free from all things that pain you is not to get rid of them, but to make them right. Find love, a family, friends and alive you are happy with, then, and only then, you have reached freedom.
Mathael sighed again before snaped to take off his cloth until he only wore boxer short, and to repair most of the damage the other Mares in the Castle, this included both physically and mentally injured Females. After this task was done, Mathael fell onto his bed and drifted into the realm of dreams to regain his strength.
Mathaels Dream: Many Years Ago.
A fire was all that could be seen for miles. Planet Reptizar, a world that one bloomed with technology, magic, and wisdom. Peace ruled this world while harmony and happiness guided the people of this world. They were simple, happy lizardmen, at least they were until the darkest of all days came, the day, HE came and brought the doomsday with him.
The villages were evaporated, the cites were destroyed, and the capital was burning. All of the death and destruction was brought by a single armored being. What twisted and mad creature was this monster? A monster that no one dared to even think of what dreams of chronic of sustained cruelty were resting under the metal.
Through the ashes of the destroyed capacity, that was built in the tree Names Armaedel which translated into 'Hope' in the Lizardmen language, walked a young boy, the future ruler of this world to be exact, that was searching for any survivors. The Boy looked far and wide but saw no soul anywhere near.
The Boy shouted."Hello! Is there anyone!? Hello?!!"
To his fortunes, yet misfortune, a being heard his shouts. Out of the smoke, walked the very monster that destroyed this world. The Boy didn't move a muscle, not because he was scared, but because he would not give this thing even a glimmer of despair.
The Boy shouted at the metal Monster with Purple glowing eyes."Come on! Do it! I am not running from you! I am not scared of you, or death! I Will die, that's fine, but I will not give you even a spark of fear!!!"
The Metal monster slave looked at the Boys for a few moments before pulling his sword, Hell's Vengeance back and aimed for his head. With a quick motion, the weapon shot forward, faster than the speed of sound. The Boy stared at the monster with open eyes and awaited death, but it never came.
The sword stopped a few inches in front of the Boy. The monster was just slave to a darker creature, but something in the Boys eyes earned his respect. He did not know why a single, weak and young boy, was able to survive his attack, but he did. The metal monster pulled his sword back onto its back and snapped its fingers. The clouds thundered with power as the rain began to fall and end the fire. The Meat Monster did not hear a single dark thought in his mind, no command or lie, but just his own reasoning for a short period of time. The Slave turned his back to the kid before slowly vanishing, to leave this world behind, and continue this crusade he never wanted to participate in.
The Real World: Mathaels Room
Mathael stared at the ceiling after several hours of sleep. His head ached and was possibly close to a migraine as the memories of the past plagued him. Mathael sighed loudly before using his horn for once to cure his headache before standing up.
Mathael yawned loudly while stretching out his arms as his limbs emitted loud pops. Mathael looked to his right and saw a lock that state that it was 12 am. 'I slept 10 hours? That's unusual, even for my standards.'. Mathael sighed before asking Andros to meet him in his room.
Andros arrived in Mathaels quarter after about 5 minutes and asked."What am I required to do, Master Mathael?"
Mathael rubbed his eyes with his index finger and thumb. Mathael said."Don't call me 'Master,' it makes me look like I am above you and remembers me of old days. The reason I have asked you to come is simple, I want you to listen to my plan. I have gathered all the information I need and came up with a plan to end this Lysandra and conquer Canterlot. Your task is to inform the other countries that Equestria is soon going to be free and ready my warriors. So, here is my plan..."
Griffonstone
Griffonstone, once famous for its mountains and being a vacation destination was now nothing more than a forced export station for Female Griffons. It deeply pained King Sharp Claw III. The young Griffon King wanted nothing more than to redeem the sins of his father, Black wing, and bring his kingdom back to former glory, but his dreams were destroyed when the Caribous came.
Sharp Claw was staring out of his castle window while watching Griffonstone airship docs. Today was the last day of the month meaning that it was again time to send more females to their end into the rotten and Caribou infested Equestria to keep his land safe from these monsters.
The King was in great desperation and was close to stepping down from the title to spare at least his name from entering the history books as the cowardly king. Sharp Claw sighed as he put his crown off his head and laid ontop of a red silk pillow.
Suddenly a round disc crashed through the celling and landed a few feet in front of him. King Sharp Claw walked towards the mysterious object and picked it up. The King expected it to be a rock that resembled his peoples hate or possibly another letter that contained less happy news.
The strange object started to glow with life as a beam of green light shot to the ceiling. The light formed itself into the image of a metallic creature. The Metalic beast spoke in an emotionless voice."Greetings Kings of all Countries who received this communication device. I am Andros, newly announced personal and or Royal Advisor/Adjutant of Lord Mathael. I bring happy news, the Caribous have been reduced to nothing but a single city of these parasites. My Master asks you to stand up against all of these monsters that rest in your lands and end this heinous crime against all Females, stand up against the slavers and tyrants."
The Griffon King beak hand wide open as his eye once again sparkled with something they haven't in a long time, hope. Sharp Claw ran towards the gates and grabbed his crown and put it on his head while running. The King Kicked the door open and flew towards the docks as fast as he could.
The King's heart beat a thousand miles an hour and could feel the painful sting in his side from the spontaneous flight, but he ignored it as the joy and adrenaline dulled his sense and enhanced his speed. When the Griffon reached the port, he almost fell on his face when he landed.
The Griffon King shouted as he tackled a Caribou to the ground that whipped one young Female Griffon."Guards! Arrest the Caribous!"
The Caribous had barely enough time to react when the Griffon Guards jumped into action and attacked them. The Caribou tried to defend themselves, but the Griffon Guards outnumbered the Caribou warriors 1 to 10. The Caribous glared at the King as they were pinned to the ground.
The Caribou Leader looked at the King with a superior look and said in an arrogant voice."What is wrong 'King'? Are you getting cold feet already? Ha! I am sure Dainn won't be pleased to hear that you attacked us without reason? Do you want us powerful Caribous to invade your land too?"
The Griffon King glared at the Caribou Leader for a few moments before smiling and saying."You Caribous might be mighty, but you forget one problem, you have already lost. Only Canterlot is left to be destroyed, and there are barely any of you warriors left of you. You are alone, and I hope that You Dirty Bastards burn in hell for all eternity for all your sins!!! Guards! Execute them at once!"
The Guards didn't even hesitate a second before raming their spears through the Caribous throats as their hate was equally big as their kings were. Too many friends, wifes, and daughters they have already lost to these barbarians. Once the Caribous were dead, the slaves were freed from their chains and brought home.
Across all nations on Equus, all Countries that once feared the Caribous, united under one banner and slaughtered all Carious who infested their lands. The deeds of this 'Mathael' inspired them to step up, it showed them that the Caribous were not undefeatable and would pay for their crimes.
Several hundred miles away from Mount Canterlot: Mathaels POV
Mathael glared at Mount Canterlot with hatred. Our Protagonist was well prepared for the battle, and he already knew the outcome of this fight. Mathael raised his base power up to 50%, but he didn't wear an armor which was a big surprise. Mathael sighed before snapping his fingers and announced his presence.
The sky darkened as the two Celestial object drifted from both sides of horizon toward the other. With each second, more clouds vanished, the warmth was replaced with a cold wind. When the Sun and moon collided, they formed into a solar eclipse, a red star to lighten a black sky.
On top of the mountain that was the very source of the corruption in this world, stood Lysandra. The Insectoid monster was surrounded by a dark Purple Aura, indicating that she was supercharged with the Corruptions powers. Lysandra licked her lips before disappearing and reappearing a few feet in front of Mathael.
Lysandra said in a sultry voice."Hello, Darling~ What do I owe the Pleassure?"
Mathaels facial expression didn't budge a millimeter and said."You do know very well why I am here, Lysandra. You have spread too much pain on this world already, and now it's time to pay for your crimes."
Lysandra's back bend slightly backward as she made a dramatic pose by putting her hand on her forehead. Lysandra said."Ouch! You hurt me Mathael. I thought we could be friends. What do you say? join me, and you can be sure to have the time of your life."
Mathael raised an eyebrow, showing that he had no interest. Mathael said."I have no interest in your over, Lysandra. Stop playing around and face me."
Play this song during the Battle
Lysandra suddenly appeared in front of Mathael and punched him in the abdomen, sending him flying hundreds of feet into the air. Lysandra appeared in the sky before punching and kicking Mathael with such speed that it looked like there were several versions of her. Lysandra then spans in the middle of the air and swing her leg on his head like an ax, causing Mathael to hit the ground with such speed that it created a vast crater.
Lysandra said in a mocking tone."What? Already giving up? I think I am starting to lose my interest in you, Darling."
Mathael jumped out of the hole and said with a smile."You should less talk and fight more." Mathael looked at his body and saw that there were purples marks on his body that healed very slowly.
Lysandra poted loudly before dashing towards Mathael with the speed of sound, but this time was greeted with a punch to the face that broke out a few teeth of hers. Lysandra back bends backward as he leg shoot up and hit him in the crotch. Mathaels eye bulged slightly as he jumped back while a beam of fire shoots, out of his mouth, in Lysandra's' face.
Lysandra wished away the dust in her face, but when her eyes saw again, she was greeted with Mathaels fist. Mathael punched her in the face with such force that the sound wall broke and Lysandra was thrown away. Lysandra rammed her Spider Limbs into the ground to gain ground before catapulting herself towards Mathael.
Mathael saw the incoming projectile and put his index finger on his forehead before appearing above Lysandra and slamming both of his legs against her which resulted in her creating a crater. Lysandra jumped out of the hole and grabbing Mathael and slamming him on the ground.
Lysandra glared at Mathael for a split second before unleashing a barrage o Punches and scratches from her fist and spider Limbs. Suddenly Mathaels hand shot towards her face and forced her to the ground. Mathael sat on top of the bug before delivering slower, but much more powerful punches.
Lysandra used both of her legs to kick Mathael into his abdomen to throw him off her. Lysandra charged Mathael the second she got on her legs and pulled her fist back. When Lysnadras fist was about to hit Mathael, Mathaels forehead suddenly turned black before the Stallion slammed his head against her fist. Lysandra's first tried to push harder against Mathael, but arm started to shake fro the impact which forced her to back off.
Mathael saw this and pulled back his own fist shot it towards Lysandra. Lysandra used her Spider Limbs to shield herself, Mathael saw this and instead grabbed one of her insect limbs and slammed her into the ground with extreme force. Lysandra's eyes were filled with rage as she did a backflipped and delivered a roundhouse kick into Mathaels back which send him flying.
Mathaelused his wings to stop him in mid-air. Mathael saw Lysandra flying with extreme speed, when she came into range, Mathael gripped her head, made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree motion before sending Lysandra crashing into a mountain with the speed of sound.
Lysandra shocks her head before regaining her sense, but when she realized that she wasn't safe, ti was already too late. Mathael charged with his head first into her and through the mountain with such force that the hill fell apart. When Mathael was on the other side of the hill, he shot both of his fists upward Lysandra's abdomen to create a bit of space.
Lysandra clenched her teeth in anger that she was thrown around like a doll. Lysandra channeled more of the negative emotions she gathered into her body to empower he even more. Lysandra body glowed with an even stronger purple aura, she smiled before pulling her Spider limbs back and shooting into the ground and barely missed Mathael, but still created a huge hole. Mathael smiled before slamming his fist against her chest with the intent of killing her which send her back a few feet.
Lysandra said with a smile."Aren't you getting it!? I have won! You have lost! I am an unstoppable force! Give up already!"
Mathael chuckled and held a claw in front of his mouth to hide it. Mathael said in a mocking tone."Me, giving up? Hahaha! Don't make me laugh, Darling, I have way too much fun to stop now! But I have to disagree with one thing, why don't you just give up and look Defeat right into its eye?"
Lysandra clenched her teeth before pouncing at Mathael who evade the attack and slashed his claws at her cheek, but not without receiving a slash to his own cheek as well. Lysandra smiled and turned around when she saw that she finally did a bit of damage, but her smile feel when she felt her own blood roll down her cheek.
Lysandra snarled before charging towards Mathael and launching hundreds of slashes at him, but Mathael evaded them with such speed that it looked like he wasn't moving at all. Lysandra's rage exploded and pulled back to of her Spider Limbs and slashed them at Mathael with such speed that not even he could evade them, which resulted in a big 'X' wound across his chest.
Mathael clenched his teeth in pain as the wound burned. Mathael glared at Lysandra before suddenly appearing in front of her and shooting his claw towards her chek, impaling it and with a circular motion, shooting the bug towards the next mountain in less than a second before shooting a ball of ki at Lysandra. Lysandra saw this and instantly pushed herself away, but was still hit by Mathaels attacks blast that also destroyed the mountain.
Lysandra has been blasted a few hundred feet away from Mathaels attack. Lysandra screamed as her wings spread out to their full extent."Insect Swarm" as suddenly millions of insects shot towards Mathael as one big swarm.
Mathael saw this and flapped his wings till he was a few thousand feet up in the air. Mathael said while laughing."So, does the little bug finally want to actually fight? I won't complain, in fact, I am more than delighted to hear that you too want to let the climax of the battle begin." performed several hands sings before shouting"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame" before a massive wave of fire shoot out of his mouth. The Wall of Flames consumed the insect swarm like an inferno does to cotton fabric, and scorched the land down below to a dead burning wasteland.
Both Caribou and Ponies, all genders alike, gasped when they saw this. The beings that watched from Mount Canterlot were all paralyzed in fear as they saw a single creature laying waste to so much land. The people who viewed this fight in Stalliongrad through a magic mirror, were shocked too when they saw this, they never imagined to see such a powerful creature in their lives, but they all knew that he did this to save them, and not to show them how small they were.
Mathael looked at Lysandra shocked face and laughed."Are you really that surprised, Lysandra? I am merely at half of my power, and that attack wasn't even very high up on my most-destructive-abilities list."
Lysandra's eyes burned with fiery rage when she realized that she was not even able to murder him even with her new power. Lysandra pressed all of her limbs close to her body as her muscles bulged and the Purple aura. A significant transparent figure was slowly forming into reality, just a few feet above Lysandra. The Figure that formed was a colossal, purple Goliath Bird-Eating tarantula.
Mathael smiled before he closed his eyes and his facial expression suddenly darkened. Mathael summoned his own spirit, or in his case, The Devourer. Mathael said in an angry voice."Hey! Spider-Girl, I have a request. I want your master to listen to what I have to say because I am done talking to you!"
Lysandra smirked before her eyes glowed purple. Lysandra said."Here, I hope what you say is worth my masters time."
Mathaels eyes shoot open as they burned with rage, he now had the chance to spit the very monster in the face that was responsible for everything that happened up to this point. Mathaels Sclera tuned black and his red Irises burned with such furry that small sparks exited his eyes.
Mathael shouted with pure malice."Corrupted God, Listen and listen well to what I have to say...-" Mathael made a dramatic pause as The Devourer shot towards the Spider Spirit and delivered a massive punch. The Spider Spirit snarled before trying to ram its fangs into The Devourers neck, but the gourmet demon caught the poisonous teeth and clenched them. The fangs withstood the gourmet demons power only for a few seconds before they shattered and the claws of the demon shot forward and started to strangle the Spider spirit.
Mathael continued with even more malice."I understand it all now, the true reason for my wrath!-" The Spider spirit winced as it tried to escape the The Devourers grip, but it had no avail. Mathael continued."There is always some fool who wants to rule the world, to force others to do their bidding and force your will and way of life upon them!!!"
The The Devourer strength grew as Mathaels anger was becoming stronger and stronger. Suddenly cracks appeared on the Spider Spirit before it shattered into millions of bits. The Devourer grew smaller till he formed around Mathael like a transparent layer of power.
Mathael dashed with supersonic speed in front of Lysandra and punching Lysandra in the face which sent her back 100 feet. Mathael said with even more anger."That's why I pray to no one!" The ground underneath Mathael cracked under his unlimited power before he appeared in front of Lysandra again before punching her in the abdomen. Mathael added."Nor Will I prayed to!!!" Lysandra was thrown away hundreds of feet.
Mathael stopped his superhuman speed and walked towards Lysandra with slow and menacing steps that each made the ground tremble slightly. Mathael said."But above all else-" Jerry exited the shadows and formed another layer of power around Mathael. Mathael continued."-I will never!!!-" The soul of Darkness symbol glowed on Mathales chest as a copy of Erebus in her armor appeared before forming yet another layer around Mathael. Mathael continued."-Forgive you!!!-" Suddenly, to no one expectations, Sindrael appeared in a very transparent and ethereal form and watched with crossed arms what would happen. Mathael finished his sentence and shouted."For making my friends Cry!!!"
All the power layers around Mathaels body concentrated around Mathaels right fist as he shoots it towards Lysandra's abdomen. The impact of the fist was enormous, but Mathael kept pushing his fist while slowly cracks appeared on the bug girl while she tried to push Mathaels fist away. Mathael channeled all the gathered energy into his attacks and gave it one last, powerful push before theLysandra shott towards the sky with neck breaking speed. Lysandra screamed as her entire from burned with red, grey and black light. When Lysandra reached the sky, she exploded in a wave of rainbow-colored light that cleared the heavens from Mathaels light and let the scary solar eclipse glow in a golden light.
When Lysandra was no more, the spirits that aided him in this battle, and Sindrael, slowly faded back from where they came from. The Caribous stared at Mathael while trying to understand what just happened. Suddenly a horn blew which was the command to unleash all that they had at the invader. Hundreds of Boulders shot into the sky from Mount Canterlot as they all made their way towards Mathael.
Mathael stood there with his arms and head hanging low. When mathael heard the boulder fly through the sky, a grin began to slowly form on his face as his body straightened. With each passing second that the boulder came closer, Mathaels smile grew and so was his body height. When the Boulder where just a few hundred meters away, Mathaels smile grew to unrealistic measures.
Mathael lifted his hand straight before lifting and pointing his index finger to the skies. Suddenly thousands of Shadow Spikes shot in the air, thousands of thin sharp needles that penetrated the rocks and stopped them in mid-air as if time just stopped.
There was a moment of silence until the boulders were slowly turning black and as on top of all spikes that did not impale rocks, large shadow orbs formed. Suddenly all Spike bend backward as if they were made of rubber until they almost reached the ground and they straightened again in just a second, sending thousands of black boulders back to Canterlot.
Or at least they would be on their back to Canterlot, but even a fool could clearly see that the dark boulders were so massive that they most likely would just hit the base of the mountain. The Caribous laughed loudly until they realized that Mathael jumped high up in the air, did four front and side flips, before landing on his right legs. Suddenly a large cracks shoot towards the mountain, but when it was about to reach it, it split into two thinner cracks that went around mount Canterlot and formed a circle when the collided with the other crack again.
The Mountian started to rumble as Mount Canterlot was sinking into the ground. The Caribous began to panic, but they all instantly stopped and stood paralyzed when they saw that it was raining m- thousands of dark boulders. The Dark Boulder crashed into the city fortifications, vital and strategic point, and even into entire squads of Caribous.
Mathael stared at the destruction with a big smile as he could still feel the adrenalin pumping through his veins, his blood vessels increasing and his breathing rate increases. Mathael was breathing heavily as it has been far too long since he felt this alive!
Mathaels perfect moment was ruined, or was it sweetened? When Mathael, only now, saw a Caribou strike force advancing towards him that most likely set up during his fight against Lysandra, he smirked with a bit of joy. Mathael snapped his fingers to let a big black cloud appear above the Caribou army which was strong 1,45, avocado, bananas, 12 Mr. NSA/ Professor. Oak, exactly 13,000 heads strong. Suddenly the cloud let out a loud thundering noise before raining down a black liquid that coated the ground and the Caribou. There was a flash of light as a big sign appeared in front of the Caribous, it said:
"Warning, Kerosin rain. Highly flammable. Don't smoke Mexican donuts"
Mathael pulled out a churro from the somewhere behind his back and lightened it by snapping his fingers so hard that it created sparks which caused the baked goods' tip to ignite. Mathael then brought the burning churro to his lips and inhaled a bit of the sweet aroma before blowing put a pink cloud that exploded into confetti. Mathael said slowly with a smirk."BURN! BABY! BURN!." before throwing the lightened churro into the highly flammable liquid.
The entire area in front of Mathael was aflame the second the fire even touched the highly flammable liquid. The Caribous were burning before they realized it, luckily the airplane fuel was so highly concentrated that the Caribou turned to ash before they could even scream, or was it just because the Kerosin was so sticky that it glued their mouths closed?
The Caribous stared at the destruction down below but did not notice a small, itzy, bitzy, yet very crucial detail... Mathaels warriors were charging out of the black boulders! The Caribous in the lower part of the city were falling like flies while the smarter ones ran to the higher part of Canterlot.
Mathael smiled when he saw the destruction of the city and cleared his throat as he planned something evil and malicious, the humiliation of his enemies in the sweetest way, by singing.
Mathael (Normal Color)
Mathaels Warriors (Red)
The song will be heard from the Caribou from the warriors of the Shadow Legion
I'm not the Fool in distress
I'm not your Pal
Or the frightened King
I'm not a little Crow
Who needs your help to fly
Nope, I'm the bad guy
The Shadow Legion marched into the middle part of Canterlot where the Caribou set up their second most potent fortification, but the defense only lived short as the barricades didn't even withstand nor sopped a single bullet from penetrating the Caribous.
All these former villains that faced me
Each of them, with shaking knees
Has fallen before me
So I'm not your friend
Or your partner in crime
What am I, boys?
He's the Bad Guy
The Shadow Legion walked over the defenses like butter and crushed any resistance. All those who run were shot down with only a few survivors who lived to tell the tale. At least if the story was 20 words short.
Oh it's magic
To watch a Kingdom
Shrivel up and die
Oh it's thrilling
To be a villain
I destroy their hopes
And then I watch them cry
'Cause I'm the Bad Guy
(The next part only the members of the resistance heard this verse of the song)
Actually
I'm not the Bad Guy
I'm just a bit surprising
It's not worth losing sleep
It's not worth analyzing
The was a time before
Not so long ago
I was just like you
Can you hear my call?
The Resistance members didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but a few Females understood precisely what he meant, and it was inspiring.
Oh, ain't it fantastic?
I see something
I blast it!
And let me tell you why
I always had a weakness
For barrenness and bleakness
I crush all your hopes
And then I watch you cry
A group of Caribou was cornered in front of a wall while the mages were keeping barriers up to shield them. The Shadow Legions warriors didn't care as their weapon penetrated the shields and turned the Caribous into a literal bloody pulp before they exploded into Exp.
See I find this business rather fun!
I don't want your assistance
Or your adulation
I'll vaporize your entire Race
And bid you bye-bye
Why?
"Becuase You're the Bad Guy"
Mathael thought at the end of the song.'I Am literally the bad guy. I have murdered millions like flies and destroyed an entire civilization, yes they were jerks, but still. But on the other hand, Villains is are seen different from eye to eye, and if I don't see myself as a villain, then I am not one, right?'
Mathael shocks his head before snapping his fingers and let the shadow spikes bend on various heights to form a staircase with about a hundred feet between each step. Mathael began with slowly walking towards the first spike till he paced fast, sprinted, ran and then dashed with the speed of sound before he jumped to the first shadow spike, to the next, until he stood on the hights point of his self-made staircase.
When Mathael stood on the last step, he jumped off with enormous force and launched into the air. Mathael enjoyed the view onto the city, but the barricades kind of destroyed the whole, golden city feeling. An idea popped in Mathael mind as he pointed his flat hand with his fingers all pointing at the fortifications down below. Mathael shouted"Justice Flash" as hundreds of 'very weak' ki orbs shot out of Mathaels finger.
The attack let the entire defense of the middle level of the city fall. Mathael made himself fall down in front of the securities of the highest level of the city. Mathael landed with a loud thud as the Caribou stared at Mathael.
A Caribou commander shouted."H-Halt! y-you are outnumbered! Give up!"
Mathael only smiled. Suddenly hundreds, if not thousands, metallic footsteps could be heard in the smoke, of the destroyed barricades, behind Mathae. The Shadow Warriors walked out of the smoke and slowly began to fill the streets without leaving any room unoccupied before shooting down the last defensive line in the city. Only the palace was left, and it was time to shine, again.
Mathael commanded his warriors to kill all rotten Caribous, but leave the saveable alive, and to gather all slaves and Stallions. With his commands give, Mathael pulled out the Crystal Cocks and lifted the corrupted Artifact in the air. Mathael applied a lot of pressure on it, so much, that cracks started to spread. In mere seconds, the crystal jewel, Shattered and with it, it, the spell broke. Mathael could hear many heavy thuds across the entire city, meaning that it worked. Mathaels wasn't sure if just breaking would work, if it didn't, then nothing would've happened, but this way, the Stallion became unconscious when the mind control was broken. Mathael then snapped his fingers to let the artifact rebuild itself. Don't look so surprised! If a mere alicorn infant was capable of destroying this thing, then why should Mathael be capable of doing so! Besides, the Crystal Heart was just a Crystal that was formed into a heart before being so extremely enchanted until primitive Ponies could call it, 'An Legendary Item!'
Mathael snapped his fingers to teleport the Hear to Princess Luna (Becuase Luna is best canon Pony) and walking towards the Castle Gates. When Mathael reached the Gate, Mathael carefully knocked three times. One time weakly, a second time normal, and with the third knock, he let the entire wall crumble to dust like it should after knocking three times, right?
After the front door was taken care off, Mathael walked straight to the Throne room where his destination awaited. When Mathael reached the Throne room door, Mathael snapped his fingers to let the door magically open, once it was open, it revealed an empty Throne room with just Dainn sitting on the throne. Mathael checked if there was a trick, but there was not a single particle of magic in the air, nor a trap that his senses couldn't spy.
Mathael exhaled quietly before entering the throne room. Mathael was disgusted at the mere sight of this place as not only was everything that once had anything to do with Equestria taken off, but was replaced with 'Caribou art.' The panels of the mane six victories were replaced with pictures showing collared females that pray to the Crystal cock and the Caribous.
The Room was filled with uncountable amounts of different scents of sex, body fluids, and cum, it disgusted Mathael. The Equestrian flags were taken off and now there hang the Caribou flag with many furs that adorned the walls. Mathael made sure to soak up every detail King Dainn created to remember all of his crimes on both ethic and fashion. Although Mathael hated most living creatures, he still honored the dead, even if it was just telling the truth or ignoring the once so evil monstrosities that fell before him or any other being.
Mathael then decided to finally end this game and casually walked in front of Dainn, his steps weren't menacing or threatening, they were casual as he was not going to give him a gruesome death or such, no, he just wanted him gone. When Mathael stood ten feet in front of Dainn, he waited for a few seconds to give Dainn some time to say his last prayers.
When no one said something, Mathael decided to break the ice."So... that's it, Dainn. You started the game, you played your turn and you ultimately lost, this is the end."
Dainn shifted a bit on his throne, but there was a smile on his face, Dainn Chuckled before saying."Do you think I would give up this easily? Then you are wrong." Suddenly Dainns Antlers began to glow with, for his standards, humongous amounts of magic. DainnAntler glowed with so much power that they almost melted.
Mathael Laughed and said in a mocking tone."Ohh... You were always good for a laughter, 'Danny'!" Mathael didn't want to mock him, but instead, end this quickly, but this was a chance he would never get a second time.
Dainn shut his eyes in anger, and extreme pain before a smile crept on his face. Dainns eyes suddenly shot open as he said in a cocky tone."Oh Yeah? Who's laughing NOW!" before shooting a powerful beam of magic at Mathael than not only devasted the halway but also created a huge smoke cloud.
Suddenly Mathaels voice rang out of the smoke as the dust formed itself back into a large version of Mathael that almost hit the ceiling. Mathael said with a smile."I belive. It's ME!" Suddenly the background began to shift before it turned itself into an endless black void.
Mathael began to sing again, because why not.
I must admit,
Your parlor tricks are amusing.
Mathael shot a magic beam out of his index finger that he pointed at Dainn. When the beam his Dainn, his clothes turned into the ones of a maid.
I bet you've got a bunny
Under your Crown!
Mathael lifted Dainns Crown, and a Golden Bunny Statue landed on top of him and broke a few ribs.
Now here's your chance
To get the best of me,
Hope your hand is hot!
Mathael created a few thousand normal-sized Poker Cards before letting them all fall on Dainn, thus burying him before setting the cards on fire.
C'mon, clown,
Let's see what you've got!
You can try to slam me
With your hardest stuff
But your double whammy
Isn't up to snuff
The Card mountain exploded, revealing an extremely pissed of Dainn who shoot a concentrated beam at Mathaels chest, but the beam split into when it made contact with Mathael and hit nothing.
I'll set the record straight
You're simply out of date
You're only second rate!
Mathael temporarily turned Dainn into a 50 years older version of himself before running around him while Dainn tried to hit him with a walking stick.
You think your cat's a meanie,
But your tiger's tame
You've got a lot to learn
About the magic game
So for your education,
I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
Mathael turned Dainn into a kitten as he was about to charge him. When the kitten-Dainn pounced at Mathael, Dainn flew straight through a suddenly opened hole in Mathaels abdomen. When the cat was on the other side, it landed on a stool. Mathael then slammed a paper cone hat on Dainn on which was written Douchebag. When Mathael lifted the hat, it revealed a Dainn in a diaper before he phrased through the stool.
Men cower at the power
In my pinky
My thumb is number one
On every list
Dainn Landed on Mathaels colossal palm with his clothes on again. Dainn was greeted by the sight of four fingers that laughed at him before he turned around and saw the thumb. The Thumb was heavily armored and wore a helmet that had two glowing eyes in it. Suddenly the Thumb was surrounded by a whirling that, when ended, revealed Mathael who wore his armor besides the helmet.
But if you're not convinced
That I'm invincible,
Put me to the test!
I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!
Mathael snapped his fingers as suddenly a giant Skeleton arm shoot out of a dirt field and pulled him six feet under.
Go ahead and shackle me
With the big surprise
Turn me into a Mare,
Put me in a Cage!
I'll make a great escape
It's just a piece of cake
You're only second rate!
Suddenly hundreds of chains burst out of the fabric of reality of wherever they were and wrapped themselves around Mathael. Mathael then glowed for a bit before he was a Mare in a Tuxedo, shortly before a cage appeared around her. Mathael smiled before snapping his fingers to let the cage burst in a pink cloud. When the fog settled down, it revealed a massive cake on which was written 'Happy deaths day' before it exploded and revealed Mathael in a Grim Reaper costume.
You know, your hocus-pocus
Isn't tough enough
Dainn tried to run away but was blocked by a vast obsidian Statue of Mathael who his right arm at Dainn and glared down at him, and on the Statues, knuckles was written 'guilt' while on his index fingers fingertip was a '-y.' Suddenly the ground under Dainn split in two before falling down an abyss.
And your mumbo-jumbo
Doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate
Upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
When Dainn landed somewhere deep down, he looked in front of him and saw that he was slowly being brought up to a substantial edgy looking shredder by an escalator. When Dainn saw this, he tried to get down but saw that his shoe suddenly had shoelaces that stuck themselves in the escalator. Dainn struggled hard, but in the last moment, he was able to get his shoe out and fall down the escalator. During his fall that was faster than the escalator, he encountered huge cacti, glass shards, cut open lemons, razor blades, acid, and a burning tire.
Zaba-caba-dabra!
Dainn ran away from the evil escalator the second he was on the ground but was instantly met with a mirror that showed himself as a Female. Dainn screamed before running away.
Grandpa's gonna grab ya!
Dainn suddenly encountered a very old looking Mathael with a sturdy wooden cutting board in his right hand. On the wooden toll was written 'Dainns ass punisher' Dainn instantly ran in the other Direction when he saw this.
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
Suddenly Mathael became three times the size of the throne room and began to float towards Dainn who ran away. Mathael, on the other hand, grew faster and bigger with each passing second before he flew up in the air and threw up his arms and shotting down 10 magic beams.
So spare me your tremendous scare!
You look horrendous in your underwear!
Dainn continued to run without even noticing that he walked into a circle of Mathaels who were doing the Kazotsky Kick. Dainn stared for a few moments until suddenly a pair of flying skeleton hands gripped his pants and pulled them down.
And I can hardly wait
To discombobulate
I'll send ya to hell, chained
In a burning cage
Mathael snapped his fingers to wrap Dainn in Chains before creating a burning cage around him and throwing him into a bottomless pit that burned. There also was a sign next to it on which was written 'Hell.'
You'll make a better living
With a spinning plate
Dainns Cage landed on the bottom of a hellish landscape in a cave. The Cage exploded when it made contact with the ground. Dainns' moment was ruined when a flying plate spun with such speed towards him that he was stuck on it. For several seconds, Dainn was pinned to it before his vision began to blur and the plate suddenly stopped, causing Dainn to shoot in a random direction. After another 5 seconds, Dainn hit his throne and destroyed it.
You're only second rate!
Dainn fell on his knees before vomiting out everything he got in his stomach. Suddenly his eyes glowed with a chaotic light before a beam of Chaos magic shoot in the direction of Stallion grad, or more specifically, Eris.
Mathael smiled before walking towards Dainn and asking friendly."Did we learn our lesson, Dainn?" Dainn nodded before vomiting again. Mathael rolled his eyes before he got a brilliant idea that was even better than killing him. Mathael said with a devious grin."I originally planned to just murder you, but I have a much, much better idea on how to handle this situation."
Mathael levitated the almost broke Caribou of the ground in front of him. Mathael then shoots his right arm at his throat before squeezing it softly. Out off Dainns eyes, nose holes and ear hole, a bright red light glowed while the Caribou struggled against Mathaels grip. Suddenly Dainns body glowed too before the entire throne room was blinded by a white light.
Dainn did not know what just happened, he just felt weaker suddenly. Dainn looked at his libs and dread started to creep on his neck and other body parts. Suddenly Dainn ripped off his underpants, and his jaw dropped when he saw that he no longer had a dick, but the female counterpart attached. Dainn screamed at the top of his lungs, but all came out was a feminine shriek. Dainn was losing his mind, searching for anything that proves he was asleep.
After a few moments, he felt something on his neck, it was something round and invisible, but when he touched it, it revealed a collar that would turn visible on touch. Dainn tried to get it off, but it was like trying to resist gravitation, it was useless. Although it didn't bother his body, it was humiliating.
Mathael said with a stern voice."Dainn, I would have just loved to erase you and your very soul from existence, but sadly, 'Everyone deserves a second chance' blegh! Don't worry about it, I am sure that you will find a 'normal' life in a few years like I did when I lost on my villainous campaign. Although mine was not out of free will. Anyways, you are now a Doe, you are not going to be a sex slave and not gonna die, but instead, you are going to see what its like to be female. I m going to let the Princesses handle you, but don't worry, the worst thing will be therapy and group meeting with other slightly mental unstable Females."
Dainns pupils were shrinking with each second, this was not true! He would rather die than this!!! Dainn ripped his dagger off his on the ground laying pants and tried to stab it in his heart, but the weapon just disintegrated in contact.
Mathael added with a bored voice."Don't You Dare to even try it! As long as you have the collar on, you are practically immortal. You can't die from anything, be it harm from others or yourself, starvation, dehydration, sickness, old age, etc. Until you understand your mistakes and are truly sorry for what you did." Dainns were eyes twitching as tears formed. She suddenly passed out from the mind cracking news.
After Dainn has been dealt with, Mathael snapped his fingers to teleport Dainn into a guest room in the castle. The guest room was changed from the Caribou style, into the Canterlot style with a few non-sexual, cultural items. The place was looked and could only be opened by a unique key that Mathael possesses.
With Dainn out of the way, Mathael began to question if this was the right thing to do, but he decided not to think about it anymore as he didn't want another five minutes of sadness like after the Malefor 'incident'. After Mathael doubted himself yet another time, he looked around the room and nodded before snapping his fingers and bringing almost everything back to its former glory.
The only thing that did not return to its original state was the throne or rather the pile of debris as there where two items of interest. One of them where the horn of the two sisters as he wanted to do a few experiments on them. Mathael wanted to do a few tests on how close the DNA between each Pony was from Universe to universe.
Mathael walked up to the thrones remainings and pointed his opened palm at it before two, one white and the other blue, shot out of the pile of marble and landed in his palm. Mathael then put the horns into his pocket dimension, before continuing to look through the thrones' remains.
Mathael knew that Lysandra was not on this world all the time, it didn't take a genius to figure this out as he didn't feel the seeds of corruption on this world. Mathael knew that this was just a small victory as the Corruption has sucked this world dry of its negative emotions.
After a few seconds, Mathael found a small purple jewel, or rather a crystalized Corruption Crystal that was linked to someone. Mathael didn't care who was listening to what he was about to say, but he was sure it would reach his target.
Mathael said in a grim tone."This is just the beginning of your end, corrupted one." before cutting the connection by destroying the magic within the crystal. Mathael then put the Seed of Corruption to the rest in his fortress. After this deed was done, Mathael snapped his fingers to repair the throne to its former beauty and planted his butt on it.
Mathael thought while sitting on it.'Dear... I am not praying to anyone, I forgot. Anyways, damn is this cushion comfortable! I mean, where did Celly even get this? I have to ask her how this thing is made... or rather not because then she is probably going to counter me with a 'When you rule, you can have your own throne and cushion' talk. Sigh. WAIT! The nobles will never accept a Thestral on the throne as long as they don't know about my horn on my head! I am saved!!!''
Mathael smiled with a big grin as he just found a way to save his ass from the evil Nobles. After a few moments of peace, Mathael got a message from his minions that the city has been purged which meant it was time for the second phase: Reconstruction which will be done by the Ponies, or at least if they understand the situation they are in at the moment.
Suddenly a big portal opened in front of him, and out of it, walked his Shadow Guardians. Their steps were filled with confidence, well most of them had as Ashia was keeping her staff and arms close to her body. Mathael knew when she reached her potential as he could feel how the life force changed in her. After the Shadow Guardians exited the portal, they formed a row on his right and left side.
After the Shadow Guardians, came Dullahan who walked beside up to the right of the throne and stared at the portal for a few moments. The last ones who exited where the Princesses themselves who had a look of concern on their faces. The Princesses walked, or rather Cadence crawled, towards the Throne.
Luna held the Crystal Heart in front of Mathael and asked."Mathael? You do know that if the heart is removed from the Crystal Empire, that it freezes to ice, right?"
Mathael answered bluntly."Yes, yes I do. What is your point?" The Princesses were speechless, not because of disgust or such, but because they were not sure what to say. Mathael rolled his eyes before saying."You are asking 'Why did I turn the Crystal Empire into an ice block?!' Simple, there where many Caribou outpost in the north and I was not interested in sending my troops to clean them."
Princess Celestia asked in a worried tone."But, what about the Ponies and others who were stuck in the outposts? Caribous are known to have slaves wherever they go."
Mathael answered."That's not completely true, Celly. Most outposts in the north where still from the first time they invaded this land, thus, were slowly dismantled to get back the resources and the first things that were brought away from them were the slaves. Of course there still were some outpost which had a few slaves, so I send a few warriors to kill the weakened Caribou and collect the slaves, but in the end, it turned out that it only made things better. One of my warriors found a Caribou who kept himself and 6 other Pony slaves warm for 12 hours and is now respecting Females."
Twilight asked."What happened to my brother and Cadence?"
Mathaels mood darkened as he heard this name. Mathael said."Shining armor was involved in the fall, dear Sparkles and thus he received punishment. Shining 'Dick-less' became a Female, and I hope that he learns from it like Dainn. If you don't believe me, I can create a memory crystal so you can see the memories of a few Caribou that were involved in the scheming. By the way, dear Blueblood betrayed you too by showing the Caribou a secret passageway through the Crystal caves that led to the ballroom of this castle."
The Princesses jaws hit the ground when they heard this. Loyalty was nothing worth any more in Equestria as it seemed, but Shining armor betraying them was unexpected, Blueblood not so much, but their own Prince?! While the Princesses were stunned from the shocking news, Mathael leaned forward and booped Cadence on the nose which caused her to glow green for a moment before her entire face turned beet red, no, fire red as she realized that she was naked.
Mathael asked."Does the fine lady wish to be dressed?" Cadence didn't head Mathaels words as she was busy with drowning in embarrassment. Mathael chuckled before snapping the dress his Cadence wore during the Gala as he had no idea what her taste regarding clothing was. Cadence shakingly stood up to her full height before whispering 'thank you.'
Mathael said out loud."Anyways, I think you have noticed that, now that Equestria is saved, it's time to rebuild. My warriors have already brought all petrified Males to the places where they were stoned and turned back to flesh, and all evil Caribou are gone besides a few hundred if not a thousand surviving Males which is hopefully enough to repopulate the Caribou race with a new and better culture."
Twilight raised an eyebrow and asked."What do you mean by that, Mathael? It only takes about 74 days for Sperm to mature in a Male and that is not counting how many times he is able to fertilize a Female." Everyone in the room looked at Twilight with a surprised expression as she just openly talked about this in public. Twilight sighed and said."What? I am not the fragile girl anymore I was before."
Suddenly there was a loud *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* sound before Mathael said out loud."Fillies and Gentlecolts, we have a winner! Although the Caribous are gone, the marks are still there. I doubt that many females will trust Males after this or will very have children. Depression, anxiety and such are also something that might occur, and many other mental and health problems might happen to Females, some might not survive the return to their normal life as Rape victims don't 'Just forget' this. I would say you should hire many therapists, build hospitals and maybe a few groups to help the many victims. Aso, your land is close to collapse, and I am sure that if I didn't come here, it would've died out as these caribous have no interest in flora and fauna around them."
Mathael, yet again, destroyed the view of the reality of these poor Pony Princesses when they heard this. Their land was in shambles, hunger-, thirst plagues, sickness and under population would haunt this land for several decades and the all the paperwork would turn everything in a nightmare.
Mathael chuckled and said."I think I now understand why you lost this war in the first place.". Saying this caused the Princesses to look at Mathael with raised eyebrows. Mathael explained."What? You just lack farsight, a trait only a few beings possess. No need to worry, you made it through everything and will manage this one too." Mathael then stood up from not his throne and was about to say his farewells, but was stopped by Cadence.
Cadence asked as politely as she could."You are just gonna leave like this? I really, really, really, don't want to sound ungrateful, but I don't think we can recover from this that easily. So, would you mind helping us, again?"
Suddenly a new voice boomed through the halls behind them, a metallic one too. When the people in the room turned around, they saw a giant mechanical being standing in front of an open portal, Andros. Andros said."Arrogant Ponies, don't make demands before remembering that no one forced Mathael to come here, nor is or was it his duty to help you."
Mathael sighed loudly before saying."Andros, greetings my adviser, there is no need to be aggressive towards our equine friends here. True, they are asking for much, but it's isn't much for me, a snap with my finger and everything is fixed."
Twilight asked in shock."A single snap!?!? Not even Eris can do that across an entire continent!"
Artemis said."Again! Could you please stop underestimating Mathael, it's getting really annoying at this point. Mathael can create an entire solar system with several huge and many times bigger planets than this one with having all of them filled with life. Mathael can play with mater, time and reality itself like a toy and your Eris is by far not as powerful as Mathael as his reality warping powers are equal to at least the ones of 4-5 of ancient creatures that can wield Chaos magic."
Mathael was currently dying in his own skin as he was really not used to compliments, he was used to insults, threats, and shouts, but hearing people praising him was something uncomfortable for him. Celestia's voice woke him from his suffering.
Princess Celestia said in a slightly shocked tone."You-Cou could've just unmade everything that happened? Yet, you chose to kill so many for nothing... Why?" There was a collective gasp from the Shadow Guards.
Mathael let his jaw move to the left and then to the right before making a loud clicking noise with his tongue, In the end, Mathael suddenly disappeared before appearing again. Mathael reappeared behind the solar Princess and walked in front of Celestia with a stern look. Mathael said."So, you think I did all of this for my love of bloodshed, I see how things are. But you are wrong. I don't mess with time unless I have too like to prevent the permanent death of an entire world and Time traveling has a lot of consequences if done right and wrong. If I would've reversed time and prevented the Caribou from conquering, then the already captured would've suffered only longer till they died, the Caribou would've never become something else and just think of all the unborn that would have never been born. As awful as the fall may have been, it happened, and it showed many Caribou a new way of living."
Mathael thought.'I Hope I can become less serious again when I return because, damn, I even creeped myself out a bit with saying this! Hmpf, damn controlling of zerg, it tired my mind out a little, and I had to use my of my brain power. Sigh, they have their jaws hanging again.'
Mathael patted Celestia's head before he walked a few steps away. Mathael ignited his hands with a black aura, he raised his hands in the air and pointed both of his palms to the other. A white light sphere started to grow before it suddenly expanded with the speed of sound across all of Equestria and healed the land by filling it with all needed minerals and repairing all the destroyed areas, and taking back all the technology he put on this world. The sphere also lifted the mountain they were standing at the moment, back up to its standard height.
Mathael clapped his hands and said in a happy tone."Yup, your land is healed and as fertile as ever. Now, since I don't know if I have healed everyone, I think I have to give you something to heal all those that went under my radar, but before that, Ashia, did you heal the newest refugees?"
Ashia nodded and said."Y-Yes, I did, but healing so many of them was a little exhausting."
Mathael nodded and snapped his fingers which created a bright flash. When the Ponies could see again, they saw a golden staff in Mathaels hands. There were a few pink bands coiled around the staff, and there was a pink crystal at the bottom. At the top, there was a ring.
Mathael said."This, my dear Ponies, is a Caduceus Staff, a golden one too. This staff can heal any wounds, no matter how lethal, it can heal them and any disease lost limbs or sometimes even mental sicknesses and damages. I want you to heal anyone I forgot with his item, just point it at the target and channel a bit of magic in it."
Celestia carefully took the staff out of Mathaelshands and was amazed by the staff. Not only was it superior concerning magic, but also by the looks of it, thousands of years away from Equestrian standards.
Mathael said."Anyways, I have to go now and deal with the primal timeline so goodbye~- wait, I almost forgot. I turned Dainn into a female, and I want you to turn him into a mentally normal being, by treating him with Kindness... I think I almost threw up..."
Princess Luna said in shock."WHAT!- I mean, very well, but why did you decide to not punish him."
Mathael chuckled darkly which creeped the Ponies out a lot. Mathael said."Believe me when I say that it is more than enough punishment. Also, I have no idea how much the Corruption was involved with Dainn, and since I can't tell if he did forge this worldview on his own or if Lysandra formed him to this, this has to suffice. Anyways, goodbye and I have no idea if we ever see us again, so good luck with rebuilding your culture."
Mathael then pointed his index finger in the air and said. "Gate" as a portal opened a few feet in front of him. Mathael said to his warriors."You are free to go and do whatever you like for now, explore the multiverse, train and learn until next time I call or teach you." Mathael then said out loud."Mass Recall" which send all of his warriors to his fortress in the void where they would 'Sleep.' Mathael then walked through the portal that leads to the primal timeline of the Fall of Equestria line.
Primal Timeline: Fall of Equestria
Today was a dark day, possibly, the end of everything that Equestria stood for. The Caribous, a warrior species, have conquered their land and enslaved all Females. They came without warning, and when we noticed, it was already too late. The Caribou, under Dainns' rule, conquered the Crystal Empire and with it, the Crystals heart, or as it's now called after the cruel and disgusting makeover from these Barbarians, the Crystal Cock.
The Princesses were in great despair, and everyone knew this. In the halls of Canterlot Castle, a Mare and her Filly were walking through its halls. The Mare feared for what would happen to hear but was far more scared for her child. She wished for nothing more than to have her child have a long and healthy life, but this fantasy was now dead, thanks to the Caribou.
Mint breeze, a full grown Earth Pony mare with a light green coat and red hair and her daughter, Mint Tea, a small Eart Pony Filly who was very fragile and her coat was dark green while her mane was light blue, had stopped in front of a Fireplace. Mint Breeze sighed quietly before crouching down and putting a hand on her daughter's left shoulder.
Mint Breeze inhaled deeply before looking into her daughters' eyes. Mint Breeze said."Sweety, I want you to know, Mama will always love you, no matter what happens. I want you to be strong whatever will happen after today."
Mint Tea didn't quite understand what her mother wanted from her, or what she meant, but she nodded and said."Ok, Mama, I will always stay strong." Mint Breeze smiled, but a single tear made it past her facade. Mint Tea said as she brushed her mothers tear away."Please don't cry Mama, everything will be fine."
Mint Breeze said with a smile."I hope so, my little flower, I really hope so." Mint Tea could feel her mother sadness and sigh quietly. Mint Tea walked in front of the dancing flames and sat down. Mint Tea put her hands together and closed her eyes.
Mint Tea said quietly."Please, to whoever hears this, please stop whatever is making my Mama said. I don't want her to be sad, I want everyone to be happy again like a few months ago before everyone was so scared and depressed."
Suddenly Mint Tea could feel someone stroking her hair. When the Filly opened her eyes, she saw a vast Thestral in front of her. The Bat Pony said."There is no need to worry, little one. I promise that everything will be fine in the end, you just have to believe in yourself and other Ponies, and then nothing can keep you from any goal you desire."
Mint Breeze had no idea from where this strange Thestral came from, but he was confirming her child, which was a list a bit reassuring. Mint Breeze said with a smile."Thanks for the words, mister?"
Mathael chuckled and said."I am Mathal, and It's a pleasure to meet. I am just your average supernatural Bat Pony with some tricks up his sleeves to make others smile. As for why I am here, I just couldn't bear to see you two being so sad. But do not fear, I am sure everything will be fine in the end."
Mint Breeze said with a smile."You do know how to lighten the mood, but how do you know everything will be fine? Even the Princesses seem to be unable to deal with this, and the elements are lost."
Mathael chuckled loudly and said."I may not look like it, but I am an extraordinary creature with strange ways to deal with strange problems. Anyways, I am going to go to a balcony, I wouldn't want to see the Caribous demise I was you, I arranged something very Nice."
Mint Breeze and Mint Tea did not understand what this Pony was talking about, but they too wanted to see the last few rays of sunlight while they were free Mares. When the Three Ponies reached their destination, they saw a large balcony where many nobles, Guards, and the Princesses stood and watched the coming Caribou Army.
Mathael walked to the railing and saw the Caribous on the Horizon. The Ponies were scared as far as he heard and not even the Princesses could calm them down. Mathael smiled before jumping on the railing, stretching out his arms, and letting himself fall while ignoring the screams that the Ponies shouted after him.
After about 30 seconds, Mathael hit the ground and created a huge dust cloud. The Ponies gasped in shock, everyone besides Mint Breeze and Mint Tea who haven't forgotten Mathaels words. When the dust settled down, the Ponies gasped, as Mathael walked out of the cloud without any damage on him.
Mathael smiled while brushing off the dirt off his tuxedo. Mathael casually walked towards the Caribou as he wanted to let the Ponies break their jaws in awe, not literally of course. After about 15 minutes, Mathael was about a mile away from the Caribous.
When the Caribou spotted Mathael, they smirked as the Rapists thought that they gained a supporter, oh how wrong they were. A Caribou commander shouted."Did you see the light, Pony and wish to join our great war?"
Mathael smirked before he burst into loud laughter. He shouted."Hahaha Me, joining you? Hahaha, Don*t make me laugh!"Suddenly Mathaels mood changed to a severe one. Mathael should."No, I came here to say this. fuck off to the hole you crawled out and never come back, or pay for your foolishness."
The Caribou instantaneously burst into laughter when they heard this. A single Bat Pony was supposed to stop them, how hilarious! They should make sure to not kill him and make him the royal jester. They didn't have the time to continue to listen to his jokes and charged towards Mount Canterlot.
Mathael said quietly."So... That's how you want to play, huh?" Mathael cracked his neck loudly before forming his index and middle finger into a 'V' and pointing it at the incoming Caribou army. Mathael shouted."Shadow Pillars"
Suddenly two giant black pillars, that were almost as high as Mount Canterlot itself shoot out of the ground, forming an archway between Mathael and the Caribou. Mathael then puts both of his hand in his pocket and looked at the ground.
Shadow Pillars.
Shadow Spike: Earth Magic (Level 1) < Shadow Pillar (Level 2)< ???
Shadow Pillar is the second level of Shadow Spikes: Earth Magic and can create very high and durable pillars that are made out of hundreds, if not thousands heavily compressed Shadow Spikes that have been infused with earth magic.
Mathael lifted his head and saw that the Caribou had many confused looks on their face, but didn't stop charging Mount Canterlot. Mathael sighed before saying in a calm, yet booming voice."It once was a beautiful day. Earth Ponies were singing, Pegasie were flying, and Unicorns were singing, on days that ended, monsters like you... Shoudl Be Burning In Hell."
The second, the Caribou heard his voice, they stopped, just in front of the archway. Dainn could not believe it, his men, his warriors, were stopped by a single sentence? No, he will not let this happen. Dainn shouted to his men."My fellow Caribou, our victory is nigh, and all that stay in our path is one Male, will this stop you? *"NO!!!!"* Then go and take what is rightfully ours."
Once again, the Caribous were charging mathael. Mathael yawned loudly and shouted."Is that all you got, a few Caribous? Aww~, isn't that just cute? Hey, did I ever tell the story how people once called me 'Lord of fire' a few million years ago? No, Ohh* It's a good one, it was during my first trip through hell! I think it went like this."
The ground around Mathael began to melt and form itself into magma that crawled up to Mathaels arms and covered them in a hot and several inches thick layer of molten stone. Mathael shouted out loud."RYUUSEI KASAN" before throwing his arms into the air with the speed of sound and punches into the sky so fast that you could only see a few sparks of liquid rock into the air. The Caribous were confused what Mathael did, but even more, surprised when the Bat Pony sat down with crossed arms and legs while smiling into the sky.
Suddenly the were many lights in the Sky. The Ponies were the first one to realized what happened and it made their jaws drop... It was raining burning fists! The Caribous had no time to escape as hundreds of colossal magma fists crashed into the hordes of Caribous before exploding and melting in a big radius.

Mathael smiled at the beautiful scene of Burning Caribou while listening to the delicious screams of and the smell of burned flesh that smelled a bit too sweet for his taste. It was also very amusing to see how the Caribou mages tried to use shield spells and barriers to try and protect themselves which failed so hard.
In the end, a fourth of the vast Caribou army was dealt with, but Mathael now could not let them leave anymore. Mathael jumped from his position and landed on his feet. Mathael then lifted his palm into the sky and began to make a slow circling motion. A big disc of ki formed over his palm that followed Mthaels movements and grew with each passing second.
Mathael then shouted."Destructo Disc" before throwing the disc. The disc of ki shoot with tremendous speed over the Caribou head and sliced many spears in half, but the Caribous weren't its destinations. After a few seconds, the disc reached a mount and sliced right through it before making a big and long turn in which it cut through two more mountains before disappearing.
*Rumbling*
The Mountains started to rumble before they collapsed. The Mountains remains not only caused a small earthquake but also blocked the only way away from Mount Canterlot, they were trapped.
Mathael shouted darkly."You should have heeded my words once you had the chance to, Rapist, but now? Now you have to pay the consequences for your foolishness."
The Caribou did not react kindly to Mathaels words and send thousands of arrows and spells flying towards Mathael. Mathael sighed before smirking. A dark smoke began to form on the ground around Mathael. The dark smoke began to swirl around Mathael very fast before slowly creeping up his body until it protected him from all prying eyes.
The Caribou projectiles shot through them with extreme speed towards Mathale. No ordinary Stallion would ever be able to survive this many hits. When the spells and arrows made contact with the smoke, they exploded into millions of particles that flew through the air.
The Caribou gasped, but their state of shock lived only short as the fog vortex around Mathael intensified before hundreds of smoke balls flew through the air towards the Caribous. In mere seconds, the shadow meteors landed on the other side of the battlefield and denigrated all Caribous they hit. The Caribous tried to run away from the disintegrating smoke, but sadly the smoke crawled back towards Mathael with extreme speed and killed many fleeing barbarians.
The Equestrians gasped at the display of Magical power. To be able to even cast one of these spells would be the achievement of the millennia, but Mathael cast one high tier spell after another. Although, the most impressing thing was that the Stallion was able to use Shadowmancy for good without losing his mind to the dark arts.
When the dark fog reached Mathael, it flowed back into him by phasing through his skin, almost like if the dark smoke was part of him.
Mathael shouted."Already giving up? Come on Dainn, I am sure you got more than just that in your sleeves!"
Dainn clenched his teeth in the last row. Dainn shouted in anger."Why do you betray your fellow Males for these whores! What do they possibly can offer you that we can't!?"
Mathael smiled and shouted happily back."To be honest, I often question myself why I fight. Is it, so people like me? Is it because of the thrill of a battle I search? No, this time It's because I have given a little filly my word that everything will be over with a happy end. Do you see these people on this mountain, Dainn? They are scared and depressed, they fear the nightmarish future you want to bring, every single one of them. I know what horrors you will bring to both old and young and I shall not let this happy! NO!!! I will stop this nightmare from ever happening. If you want to reach them, then you have to go through me!!"
Mathael then snapped his fingers to summon his deadly Gentlement and formed it temporarily into a large wooden wandering staff. Mathael swirled the staff with extreme speed above his head before using both his Airbender Powers and Aura of Despair Level 5 before screaming at the top of his lungs. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" and slammed his staff into the ground.
The sheer amount of power caused the ground to crack in a one-mile radius, and a tornado-like wave of powerful magic shot a few inches above the ground across the land. The half of the Caribous that stood closest to Mathael shivered as their bodies could as adrenaline coursed through their veins. After a few moments, the effected Caribous fell dead to the ground as their hearts were not able to survive such high amounts of fear.
Aura of Despair Level 5
Instantly kills all normal mortal creatures within its range.
Jaws dropped left and right at sight of this sheer amount of magic. The Equestrians could feel the initiating power of this attack even though they stood in the exact opposite of the spell's path. The Caribous began to panic, seeing their comrades being slaughtered lowered their spirits dramatically.
Dainn was slowly losing his mind. Everything was working so perfectly, a world with Males superiority, so close, yet, a single Stallions stopped him from accomplishing his goals? NO! He will not let this happen! Dainns antlers began to glow purple as he was invoking Dark magic to end this Stallion. When his antlers were fully charged, he shot a beam to the ground and then nothing happened.
*Crack*
Mathael looked at the filled in front of him and raised an eyebrow. 'What is this fool planing now?'. Thousands of hand punched through the very ground and from earth depths, skeletons and zombies of Caribou, pony and various other species and beast crawled out, and even the Caribous Mathael killed a few minutes ago, rose again.
Mathael let his eyebrow rise even higher the more undead rose from the ground. Inthe end, 100.000 undead rose in front of him, and all of them walked towards him in their armors, uniforms, clothes and somewhere even naked which was a bit disgusting. Suddenly Mathael began to laugh loudly and shouted."My, my, not bad Dainn, but It's by far not good enough. You summoned or rather reanimated the dead that rested here and chained them to your will to let them fight me. Sadly, there is one lesson that you should've known till now, quality is better than Quantity, and since these corpses turn to dust by the slightest touch, they will sleep again very soon."
Suddenly Mathael disappeared from eyesight, only to return 500 feet in front of the first, surviving, line or Caribou, in the middle of the undead. Mathael shouted with furry."Negative Burst." as he hated it when the dead were disrespected. A dome of negative energy formed than expanded rapidly across the entire battlefield, disintegrating all undead and Caribou, besides Dainn.
Dainn looked around and saw that he was trapped inside a giant crystal, he struggled with all his might, and it began to crack, but not because of his effort. Wehn the Crystal broke, Dainn instantly jumped out and was greeted with the sight of Mathael and Mount Canterlot that was now much closer.
Crystal Aegis
Create a massive Crystal around an ally or an enemy that protects/anchors him to the ground. The Crystal is very tough and will explode after a few seconds.
Mathael said with a smile."The spell I used is called 'Crystal Aegis,' a spell only the archangel of hope and I can use, Auriel, of the Angiris Council. You should be honored to be touched by a crystal of the high heavens. Anyways, the reason you are here is because I feel so much pity for you, so, I decided that you can give me your best shot, but don't be sad when nothing happens." When Mathael finished his sentence, he made a 't' pose while having his palms point to the sky.
Dainn smirked as he pulled out his long broadsword. Dainns' weapon was a legendary relic that the first Caribou king willed, and infused with the modern rune magic, it was one of the most potent blades Equus has ever seen. Dainn pulled his sword back and infused it with all the magic he had stored in his body. The sword and its runes glowed like a sun before Dainn lashed out.
When the blade made contact with Mathael, it hit him straight in the left eyes ball before a huge explosion, and a smoke cloud let the Ponies wait for the answer if their savior survived or fell. When the smoke lifted, everyone gasped loudly when the blade just stopped. *Crack* cracks started to spread across the weapon before it *Shatter* shattered into millions of pieces.
Dainns started blankly at Mathael with fear in his eyes, no, he could not lose. Looking past Mathael, Dainn saw that there was a massive hole in Mount Canterlot, but there was a long stone bar that looked like a 'T,' Mathael blocked the attack like it was nothing!
Dainn jumped back and began to sacrifice half of his health for his last option. Wehn Dainns horns glowed with red light, a blood-colored light was enlightened Mathael. To Dainns dismay, the spell did not work. The Spell was supposed to make Mathael age rapidly, but he should already be a dead husk by now, yet, he just stands there as if nothing was happening.
Dainn stopped the spell and shouted."HOW!? How are you not dead yet!!? The spell should have made you age decades in seconds, yet nothing happens!! How is that possible? A Pony can only become immortal through becoming an Alicorn, but that's impossible!! How did you chive immortality!" This made the Ponies curious, was there something that he was hiding? But where he only wore a tuxedo and a top hat...
Mathael laughed and said."I do not need to be an alicorn to be immortal, I simply repair the damage faster than age can do to me, but you are right. The only way for a normal Pony to become immortal is by ascending into Alicorn hood, luckily for me-." Mathael lifted his top hat and his smaller hat under it at once and revealed his horn-head-ness to everyone near him. Mathael ended his sentence."- I already ascended several million, or was it billions of years ago." Mathael then put his hats back on his horn
The Ponies gasped while Dainns jaw hangs wide open, he lost, after all those years of planning and climbing the rank ladder, he failed. Suddenly Dainn felt someone grab his antlers. Dainns felt a jolt of pain rush through him as he could feel as all of his magic was ripped out of him. Dainn fell to the ground and saw that it was Mathael who held his magic.
Mathael looked at the magic and saw that it was the chaos spirit magic. Mathael snapped his fingers and teleported the chaos spirit of this world to him, Discord, or rather a very tired looking Draconequus. Mathael threw the magic core to Discord who instantaneously looked a lot healthier.
Discord jumped into the air and screamed."Finally! Oh, how have I missed my old self!" A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Discord with his mirror image on it. Discords mirror image said."I missed you too real, old self." before the two of him hugged and teleported away.
Mathael chuckled before his facial expression darkened. In a swift slicing motion of his index finger, he cut of Dainns horns before grabbing his head and throwing him up all the way to the top of Mount Canterlot in two seconds. Wen Dainn reached the top before Sir Isaac Newtons' curse stepped into action, gravity. Dainns shot toward the ground of the Balcony like a bulled, but before his face meets the marble ground, he stooped in mid-air by a black aura.
Mathael said."Here, he is now your problem." before letting Dainn drop to the ground and making his way through the crowd. The crowd instantly split into to as the feared Mathael which only made his eyes roll. After a few seconds, he found the Filly to who he gave his word.
Mint Tea ran towards mathael with a big smile on her face before hugging his legs. Mathael bends down and patted her on the head and showed her his open palm. Mint Tea was confused what Mathael was showing him, but to her surprise, a rainbow-colored crystal rose began to grow out of his palm. Mathael then grabbed the thornless flower with two fingers and pulled it off his palm before giving it to the little Filly.
Mathael said with a smile of his own."A little present of mine, little Filly. This Crystal is a special one that is made out a crystal only I can create, as far as I know at least. As long as you have this flower, you are save from any negative effects like curse or poison and can heal any wounds in seconds. This is my present to you, but be careful, this flower can reverse your aging and change your bodies age to the point you were the strongest, so about in your late 20s."
The Ponies gasped around Mathael. This Stallion just gave a little Filly an item of unimaginable wort and immortality. When the little Mint was done by looking at her present in awe, she ran to her mother to show her what she got.
Mathael smiled before saying out loud with a frown."I will say this only once. Anyone who tried to steal the flower will die as this artifact will make everyone age a million times faster if you don't have the allowance of this girl and Don't You Dare to even think about bribing or threatening her." Saying this caused the Noble to back off the girl immediately.
Mathale sighed before pointing his finger in front of him and saying."Gate" which created a portal to his home. Mathael walked towards the portal but stopped one more time to turn around and wave with a big smile at Mint Breeze and Mint tea. When Mathael was done with saying goodbye, he walked happily through the portal to his home as he now could rest with the memory on how he erased a cruel and dark timeline, but also made all other timelines that followed this path turn into happy one, besides the one Mathael already visited of course.
Somewhere in the Nothingness
The Corruption was not happy that Lysandra has fallen to Mathael. Lysandra had not much worth regarding fighting, but she was good at collecting the needed negative emotions. The Corruptions other slaves were angry as well, everyone besides Zegrath who was not sad or annoyed at all by this setback, almost if he knew that this would be the outcome.
Suddenly a new and annoying voice entered the halls. The annoying voice said."Oh no, oh no, what do we have here? Little bug girl, dead, oh dear. How sad her loss was, remembering we will, but we shouldn't frown, as the game just begins! Come on, let me have a chance, come on, let me have some fun! I want to play too, serve once again. These servants of yours, don't like my jokes, although they usually are worth laughing to death for! I am sure, I can bring results, I am determined they will laugh! I will bring happy news, or die within the crowds 'Boos''!!" with the jesters' words finished, he exited the halls with a big grin on his face as no one said 'no,' which means 'yes!'
