Previous Chapter Next Chapter
ASTA'S WRATH!!!!

Asta and Spike hovered high in the skies above the Caribou capital. Asta, still sitting on top of Rayquaza’s head. Spike hovered on his power of his draconian armor’s flapping wings.

Asta could feel the vile air coming from the city even at the current altitude. Asta was doing his best to keep his emotions in check and finding it progressively harder to do so with each passing second. Simply staring at this city disgusted him and the fact that his friends and the woman he loved wear taken here to be used as sex slaves further deepened his hatred and rage.

Spike was stare and doing his best to stay by his friend/mentor’s side. He was shaking as he looked down on the city, shaking with rage. Doing his best to stay by Asta’s side and not charge in blindly lest he does more harm than good. The only real thing that was keeping him from going ballistic was the fear of losing himself to his demon once more.

“I can see you shaking in that armor,” Asta remarked.

“How can you be so calm after all that’s happened, especially after those hunters took the girls,” Spike said with fury. “After what they did to Nero, Ymir, and me. HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM OR DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT ANYPONY! YOU DON’T EVEN LOVE FLUTTERSHY!”

“WATCH YOUR MOUTH YOUNG DRAKE!” Asta sneered at Spike jumping to his feet causing the salamander to recoil slightly.

“Don’t forgo my false demeanor for that a heartless fool. I am thoroughly raving with anger and spite for those bastards that to the woman I love and my friends, I want to go down there and burn that entire FUCKING CAPITAL TO THE GROUND AND NOT LEAVE EVEN ASH BEHIND!” Asta roared. “But if I let loose my rage then I could end up hurting innocent lives in the process. Lose any chances I have of getting the ponies I care for back, unharmed or otherwise.” Asta sat back down on Rayquaza’s head. “You read the letter Spike. This is basically going to become a war zone where many lives will be lost. Some innocent to a fault. Our priority is getting the girls back yes, but we can’t go in blind either. Our mission still stands that we need to save as many slaves as possible. Not only that, but now we have the innocents in that city that aren’t ponies as well that we must help.”

“So what are we going to do?” Spike said recovering from his initial shock of Asta’s outburst.

Asta sat back down cross-legged on top of Rayquaza’s head and crossed his arms. “Haze and Free Fall should be coming to meet up with us in a few moments. Then we’ll start discussing what our plan of attack we’re also going to be after any recent info about the girls, if he has any.” Asta explained.

“I remember that one of the hunters at the campsite said something about having a special client in mind for one of the ‘stock’,” Spike said in disgust.

“It could be that the girls are going to be sold to a very specific Caribou and not auctioned off on the market like normal slaves,” Asta said glaring at the city, the mere thought of his friends being sold like common produce fueling his ever-swelling rage.

It wasn’t long after Asta’s outburst that the Captain and Vice-Captain of the Shadowbolts came up from some point near the outskirts of the city. The flew up and met the two mages in their current holding pattern above the city. Free Fall and Haze looked at Asta with both contempt and concern.

“Sir Asta,” Haze slightly bowed to Asta. “Your highness.” he then did the same to Spike.

“Have you been informed of the current situation?” Asta said flatly his sight never faltering from the city.

“Yes,” Free Fall answered. “Princess Luna has already informed us of what has transpired on what has happened to the Element Bearers via a spell letter. We have spent the last couple of hours sending our troops out to gather ant information that may be usable to locate them.”

“Anything we can use?” Spike said in a concerned tone.

“We had to go into some of the backwaters and the black market slave dealers,” Haze added. “It seems they were brought in under the noses of the local sellers by a high-tier dealer.”

“Very wealthy, able to easily afford the number of hunters that were guarding a shipment of valuable ‘pottery’,” Free Fall picked up the explanation. “We found that three large crates were transported to different locations across the city, two to warehouses and one to an unknown location.”

Asta’s gaze shifted to Free Fall causing the young Captain to slightly shrink back as if Asta was about to cut him in half.

“Did you find where the two warehouses are?” Asta asked sternly.

“Yes,” Haze interjected. “We have Shadowbolts in route to retrieve them as we speak.”

“What about the dealer?” Asta leaned over almost falling off of Rayquaza’s head.

“We have located his resident and are planning to storm it discreetly,” Free Fall said trying to reassert himself.

“No, I’m taking point on this,” Asta said in an angry tone. “That bastard took my friends and I’m going to get him for it. Spike, you’re doing your own thing.”

“Sir, this is a stealth mission,” Free Fall shot back.

“QUIET!” Asta yelled. “This is no longer a stealth operation Free Fall. This is a rescue and liberation mission. That bastard took the Element Bearers and their identities are known by all nationalities. He committed an act of war, and even if he didn’t I’d still be cutting his fucking head off. The princess have deemed it necessary to do what we need to DO and I say we take down the whole DAMNED thing. Save the ponies, the females, and children. If they surrender take them captive if not kill them.”

“Isn’t that going a bit far?” Free Fall asked.

“No, he’s right,” Spike added “The stories I heard about this place growing up in the palace. We’re better off shutting it down.”

“I agree,” Haze added crossing his arms. “Even if Sir Asta is enraged by what happened his reasoning is sound. I just have to ask that you try and take the dealer prisoner so that we might save others.”

“I’ll try Haze but I’m not going to make promises,” Asat scoffed.

Haze nodded and pointed to the center area of the city. “He lives in a house that looks as if it were made of fire. What will be the signal to begin?”

“You’ll know it?” Asta said standing up. “It won’t be subtle.”

“Good Luck,” Spike said and Asta nodded as he sat back down and patted Rayquaza’s head. The Pokemon head in the direction Haze had specified. He looked back to the Shadowbolts. “Let’s get this take down over with. There’s a certain Hunter I need to find and get even with. There are also girls that I need to see.”

Frouga upper-class neighbor sky

“Rayquaza, I’m going in first, you take care of any of the Caribou that try and make their way into the house. I don’t care what you do to or how you do it. As I said earlier, if they give up then let them live but if they come at you,” Rayquaza’s blue eye shifted upward to look at Asta. “Kill them.”

Play Durung the Rampage

Asta took in a deep breath and sped up the flow of the blood throughout his entire body. His eye quickly shifted in all directions looking for a house the looked like it was made of fire. It didn’t take him long to find the slave trader’s home. It was a house similar to the ones of the Crystal Empire in that it was made of crystal but it was bright red in color and had a flame lining the outside of the home lighting it up completely, the light of of the fire was refracted and reflected giving the illusion as if the house was made of fire.

“Found it,” Asta glared as he pulled the Demon Slayer from his Grimoire, then Rayquaza reeled its head down slightly and quickly sprung it upward launching Asta at sonic speeds that could have match Rainbow Dash’s Rainboom. Asta put the sword in front of him to cut through the air, anti-magic started to come from the blade of the weapon form an anti-magic Mach cone around him.

Slaver Dealer’s Home Interior

The dealer known as Gleam was busy enjoying a lavish feast and counting his large bags of coins that he’d been rewarded for bringing such a fine specimen of a slave to his top patron.

He chuckled to himself as he took a large bite from a turkey leg, “That mare fetched a much higher price than I’d initially thought she would,” Gleam said with a gluttonous tone. “If I was able to sell her for that price I can get just as much for that blonde and then there’s the personal student of Celestia herself. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize them at first,” He remarked thumbing his coin as he took another bite of his meal. “I’m going to make more than enough to retire, but why stop. I bet if I invest this money I can get an underground trade set up to where I can get quality stock straight from the source, Equestria itself. Right under those snooty Princesses’ noses.” He slammed his fist down in joy. “That’s just what I‘ll do, HAHAHAHA!” He happily belted.

There was a sudden low humming and then Gleam was knocked off his feet by a sudden ground quake the sent tremors throughout the entire city. He quickly dashed to a window only to see everything was still standing in once piece.

“Guard!” Gleam cried out in haste.”Statis?”

A guard quickly rushed in,” It was some sort of falling object, sir. It landed in front of your home that’s why we felt the tremors.”

“Fine,” Gleam said in annoyance as he picks his chair up and sits back down. “Take an assessment of the damage, remove the damages and report it back to me,” He commanded the guard who nodded and went on his way. “Back to my food and coin.” Gleam smirked unaware of the calamity that had started by the destruction of the front of his home.

Outside in the Crater

Asta slowly pulled the Demon Slayer from the ground with Anti-magic wafting off the blade. He then pulled the Demon Dweller sword from his Grimoire and slowly walked out of the crater. Anti-magic was slowly coming from the body of the Anti-mage. He could sense others coming toward him. He slowly walked out of the crater and looked at a garrison of guard Caribou and pointed his Dweller at them.

“Surrender and tell me where your boss is and you continue to breathe,” Asta growled.

The Caribou then laughed, “Why? Just because you can dual wield two big swords?”

“No,” Asta said as he walked forward. “Because I was going to let you live!” He broke into a run and started to hack and cleave the guards without remorse and mercy. Leaving nothing but a trail of bodies in his wake. With grace and ease, Asta cut through the guard outside as if they were paper. He turned his gaze to the doors of the house and noticed one of the guards had slipped in to warn his boss, but he left and easy to follow a bloody footprint trail. Asta shot after the guard.

Eating room

Gleam was busy eating away his troubles with a smile on his face when a bloody guard burst through the door to his dismay.

“What is going on?” He asked in horror.


“There’s an ass-” was all the guard could say when an ornate sword pinned him to a wall opposite him next to Gleam. The slave trader slowly turned his head to the gargling dying guard and then to the direction from which the sword came to see a man rushing towards him. Gleam tried to run but was stopped when Asta threw his Demon Slayer in the wall in front of Gleam,

The Caribou looked at the mage in utter terror as he slid down the wall while Asta glared down at him and pulled his third blade, the Demon Destroyer from his Grimoire. As soon as Gleam saw the action he knew who this man was. Asta held the edge of the sword to Gleam’s throat.

“You, took my friends and the girl I love,” Asta snarled at the slaver. “We have two of them back but what did you do with my Fluttershy,” he moved the blade closer to Gleam’s throat.

“I… sold … to… my… top… client.. ,” Gleam choked out.

“Who and where?” Asta demanded in anger through his teeth.

“The prince I sold her this morning,” Gleam said as his eyes started to wander to his fortune. “I can pay you, ya know. A man like you could be useful to some-” There was a loud snapping noise and Gleam looked down to his arm. Asta’s hand wrapped around his lower arm and had broken it like a twig, and now that it registered.”YAAAHHHHH!”

“PATHETIC BASTARD!” Asta roared as his fist buried itself in Gleam’s skull knocking him unconscious. “You're lucky you’re more valuable alive.” Asta glared down. He then held his sword up and summoned his other blades back to him, something he’d never done before but did just because he felt like he could. Asta placed the Dweller and Destroyer swords in the Grimoire and kept the Slayer out.

“Rayquaza,” Asta called out and his Pokemon appeared from above outside the window. Asta open the window and jumped on top of Rayquaza’s head but stayed standing. “The palace,” Asta pointed with his weapon. “Quickly.” Rayquaza let out a howl and flew to the center of the city. “Please… Don’t let me be too late.” Asta said in fear as he tightens his grip on his sword.

Asta was soon at the place. He didn’t waste any time plowing through the guards that at him with swords drawn.

“BRING IT ON YOUR BASTARDS,” Asta roared as he invoked his black form sending out shock waves of angry Anti-magic in all directions. “I’LL SLAUGHTER EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!” Asta drew his Dweller and began to cut down one Caribou after another as he’d done minutes before. No mercy, no remorse, only rage and anger. Asta and Rayquaza made their way through the palace cutting down any that oppose or fought back,

The palace throne room

“Your highness, Ponies initiated a massive attack across the city. They’re freeing slaves of all kinds and quickly adding to their number,” A guard told King Auburn.

“Where is my son?” the king said looking out the window.

“Prince Lucas is in his playroom with the slave he bought from Gleam this morning,” Guard said swiftly.

Auburn let out a long sigh, “He is on his own then, I must make my way out to a safe location so we might mount a counter strike against the Equestrians.”

“Sir,” Guard saluted and motioned for the king to follow him.

“Perhaps I can finally make those Princesses my bitches,” King Auburn chuckled.

HYPER BEAM!” yelled a distant raging voice.

In the next moment, a massive beam of light blasted the doors from their hinges, the doors landed on either side of the king but the guard wasn’t so lucky and was crushed by the left door. There in the doorway stood a demon of a man drenched in black energy and dripping with blood. Asta walked in and up to the king who was trying to back away from the demon but was frozen in fear.

“Why is Fluttershy?” Asta demanded gritting his teeth as he got in the king’s face.

“T-t-t-th-e-ee- p-p-p-ppl-l-l-a-a-a-y r-r-r-r-o--o-o-m,” Auburn stuttered out.

Asta leaned in, “Take me.” he turned to Rayquaza. “Kill any guards that follow, let ponies through.” the dragon pokemon nodded. Asta looked back. “Now, go.”

The playroom

The prince was busying changing himself into nothing while humming the Equestrian Bridge is Falling Down. He came out from behind a blind and looked to the pony chained to the bed in the room. He walked over and admired his prize. An unclothed pegasus.

“I would have never thought that Gleam would’ve been able to get one of the six Heros of Equestria,” Prince Lucas wickedly grinned. “Perhaps he’s still holding out on me and has more of your friends in stock.” he ran his finger down Fluttershy’s face and causing her to cringe in fear.

“Please, let me go… I have someone I love,” Fluttershy said as she tried to pull away.

“Aww so sweet. I wonder how he’ll take the news once you've completely become my slave?” Lucas chuckled. Fluttershy's pupils shrink to the size of pinpricks. He then jumped on top of Shy and leaned in licking her face. “Oh that’s it I love the taste you mares give off when you’re in sheer terror.”

KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK

“What is ts?” Lucas growled at the door. “I’m busy.”

“Son, it’s your father,” King Auburn announced. “We have an issue in the kingdom and must leave now.”

“But…”

“NOW!” Auburn yelled.

“Raa… Let me get dressed and get my toy ready,” Lucas got up from Fluttershy.

“Open the door first, the passage we need is in this room,” Auburn demanded.

“VERY WELL,” Lucas yelled as he threw a robe on and walked to the door and was fixing to unlock the door when it flew off the hinges as he jumped out of the way and hit the ground.

“MOVE!” An angry voice said from behind Auburn as he was lifted up and thrown to the side of the room. Asta walked in holding his Demon Slayer in one hand and started to scan the room until his gaze met Fluttershy. “Shy,” Asta rushed to his girlfriend's side and cut her chains with his sword.” He didn’t… hurt you did he?” He pulled Fluttershy into his chest. She then started to cry uncontrollably. Asta’s gaze turned to Lucas and he began to seethe with rage. He pulled his coat from his Grimoire and wrapped it around Fluttershy. “I want you to come with me Shy, we’re getting out of here and going home.”

“Okay,” She acknowledged as Asta wiped the tears from her face. Once she was composed enough to walk Asta and Fluttershy they started to leave the room but Asta took another look at the king and prince.

“Shy, go wait outside the room, I’ll be there in just a second,” Asta said softly as he kissed Fluttershy who merely nodded. Asta then went over to the Prince and lifted him up by his neck. “You,” Asta slammed him against the wall. “I will end you if you so much as even look at her again,” the prince sniveled as he pissed himself.

Asta didn’t see King Auburn and was too busy angrily dealing with Lucas to notice or sense Auburn coming up behind him. Auburn pulled a dagger from his waist and approached Asta and proceeded to stop the mage in the shoulder.

“YAAAA!” Asta yelled in pain as he grabbed his shoulder releasing Lucas causing him to drop the prince onto the floor. “Bastard!” Asta growled as he pulled the dagger from his shoulder and drove it up through the king’s jaw and into his brain killing him instantly. The king hit the floor hard, “Good riddance.”

“FATHER!” Lucas cried out. He then pulled a whip from a table and slung it at Asta wrapping it around Asta’s neck. He pulled and pulled Asta to the ground. “That’s for freeing my toy,” Lucas pulled hard choking Asta. “That’s for making me piss myself. I guess I should thank you for clearing my way to the throne. Oh, I know how I’ll do it,” Lucas evil smiled at Asta lying on the ground. “I’ll have some fun with my toy out in the hall right in front of you.”

Asta shot to his feet and grabbed hold of the whip and summoned his Demon Slayer to his hand, hold it point in line with the prince. He yanked the whip and pulled Lucas forward impaling the rapist on the weapon.

The prince came face to face with the scowling mage, “Know despair,” was all Asta said as the prince slowly died of blood loss on Asta’s sword. Once he was dead Asta flung the corpse to the side with the other. Asta returned his weapon to its rightful place and used the king’s robes to wipe most of the blood from his body and then joined Fluttershy. Asta found her sitting on the floor holding onto her knees.

“Shy,” Asta said softly placing a hand on her shoulder causing her to slightly flinch and then she looked up. Fluttershy then pounced and tightly wrapped her head around Asta's neck.

“You came, thank Celestia you came,” she cried.

“I’m so sorry for letting this happen to you and the others.” Asta stroked her hair. “We need to get out of here,” he said picking her up bridal style. Asta wasted no time in getting Shy out of the castle. He kept Shy’s face buried in his neck to keep her from seeing the results of his wrath. Once outside they met up with Haze where Asta set Fluttershy down.

“Lady Fluttershy are you unhurt?” The vice-captain asked with a caring tone. The troops brought a blanket and wrapped it around her. She decided to keep close to Asta.

“Report,” Asta said flatly.

“We are making progress but we have yet to locate Lady Applejack. It appears she’s been moved from where we had originally heard she was. As for Lady Twilight, Prince Spike is in route,” Haze said crossing his arms. “Where are the royals and slaves?”

“There were no slaves and the king and his son lay rotting in their own filth,” Asta growled.

“Sir,” another Shadowbolt came over to Haze and whispered in his ear and he nodded.

“We just got word that Lady Applejack is with Free Fall outside the city,” Haze announced. “And his highness Prince Spike has Lady Twilight and is with them.”

“Good, let’s leave the fowl place,” Asta said picking Fluttershy back up and calling Rayquaza. “Guide everyone one outside the city then scan it with life detecting spells.”

“Sir,” Haze saluted.

A few moments later after the scans had been completed confirming that there was no longer any life in the city Asta left Fluttershy with Twilight, Applejack, and Spike. He then walked to the front of their procession.

“What now?” Haze asked.

“Honestly I think it would be better if we just wiped this place off the face of Eques,” Free Fall said crossing his arms looking upon the city in disgust.

“It’s nothing but a graveyard now,” Asta added. “And I agree with Free Fall.” Asta walked forward and held his left arm up and the Black Dragon Scar wrapped around it began to look as if it were made of fire. “Black Flame Dragon Desolation!” Asta cried thrust his arm forward as a gigantic black flame dragon shot from his arm and consumed the entire city in a black inferno.

“Let’s go,” Asta said turning around and placing his hands in his pockets as he rejoined his friends. “My friends and my girl need me.”
