private A City Of Nightmare

[Anon In Equestria 57]

Tyrant grabs the axes handle and pulls the axe from the other demon, he then throws it into the crowd, knocking some of them over.

 

He then looks at the demon, and raises his own axe.

 

"Any last words before I send you back to the void, I'm sure my new warband would love to hear you scream"

[Contrast 292]

Moonlight grinned "now who are you? you don't look like a demonmancer at all and what's your special talent? come on don't be shy i wont hurt or kill you......... yet" she said circling around Muddle letting out a chuckle.

 

Muddle watched as the mare spoke and circled around her. The only thing keeping her in place was fear of what might happen if she moved. " 'Yet' doesn't sound very good either... as for my name~" 

 

she then stood right besides Muddle and wrapped a hoof around her "you will certainly enjoy your time her" she said then giggled a bit.

 

Muddle jumped. She let her thoughts distract her for only a moment, but it was just long enough for this mare to sneak up and grab her. She giggled with the mare, and attempted to wriggled herself free, "Y-yeah, it's going to be awesome here..." 

 

Poking judges between the two, he looks at both if them sinisterly, and says, "hello my psychopath friends."

 

Muddle barely had any 'friends' in Black Willow, and it didn't seem like she was doing a good job of making any; still, maybe this was her chance? She stopped her squirming and smiled at the dragonesque. "Hey~ buddy, what brings you here?"

"To put it simply, I am bored and you two seemed so lively. I figured if you turned out to be Houston goodies, well I will be entertained either way. You however, will he in excruciating pain. I am known as Atrocitas, and even my name means cruelty, so, who wants to have some fun and take what we deserve?" He says, hinting at some reward to be gained.

Standing in the room by himself, Mirrorwing just watches the rest of the group. "A motley crew, but why are we alk here again? I am sure you know that you have some very powerful ponies here just waiting. Yeah just waiting on you to tell us."

(so uh, where is Atrocitas supposed to be?)

 

The Grand Inquisitor shook his head with a small smile. "I understand that you were not hired for your patience, but I expected you to have more than your average colt in that regard. Restrain yourself, please."

 

As he was installing the chip into the crystal device, he waved Sadist over before sighing. "Forgive him. His last mission involved one of his close friends becoming corrupted and becoming a demon lord. He despises them with a passion- but, if there's one thing that he doesn't respect, it's stereotypes. Just be polite, he'll warm up eventually."

 

Sighing as he stood up, he glanced over everyone. "Alright, everyone, have a seat and we'll get this started..."

 

Karma straightened up as he pushed a button, activating a hologram of a small city with various buildings. It looked like a wannabe Manehattan. "This is Black Willow. Population 25,000, roughly 10 miles across for the city proper, not counting outlying residencies. Unusually small countryside and urban areas that usually surround a city."

 

"Two weeks ago, we had recieved word in Canterlot that there were signs of a large demonic cult- one with the potential to, give a few weeks, summon one of the Greater Demon Lords into Equestria. We sent a crack team of scouts to investigate. They returned... in a fashion. They appeared to be sleepwalking, and, tied to their back, was... this."

 

He held up a sheet of parchment, which, with words that felt like they were rents in the material plane rather than ink, read, Such is the fate of those who oppose me.

 

"They fell over dead as soon as the paper was removed from them. After calling in several famous somnonancers, it was almost unanimous that it was a mnemo-virus. After a bit more investigation, we have discovered that something else- something that isn't a demon- has entered Equestria with intent to take over. Now it is quite small, but it grows in power very quickly. It appears to have taken over at least half the city. We are unsure if there is still a demonic threat there, but we do not know."

 

"So," piped up the Lord Inquisitor, "we need... her... to blend in as their energy signals match and we don't become walking zombies."

 

"Precisely. The goal here is to remove the town of this threat. Preferably, not by destroying it with firebombs. If this creature is anything like any other otherworldly thing, the power vacuum will remove the corruption caused by it- leaving the remainder easily purged by Deliverance Squads of the Black Legion. If a demonic cult is located her, you will be expected to purge that as well." With a sigh, he looked. "I know it's a lot to ask, but I need a smaller group in order to blend in a bit more, so I am certain that Moon Crypt picked the best ponies for the job."

 

"So, any questions before you are dismissed for equipment pickup and preparations?"

@, 

 

Runic looked.... a bit disturbed to say the least so they were working with a demon now? she didn't like the idea of working with a demon but there was no other choice it seems "and what would happen if they succeded with summoning a greater demon lord in equestria? " she asked.

 

@,@@Contrast,

 

 "Hmm sounds like a good idea Atrocitas maybe we can get to know our little 'friend' here a bit more " she then walked closer towards Muddle "oh and before you get any ideas if you join the inquisition you will die understood? your with us now" she said with a wide grin.

Sadist approaches the Grand Inquisitor, she nods and sighs herself. "Honestly, I was expecting some pretty bad reception to my presence here anyway. I however do understand. I'm not intending on stepping on any hooves. Besides, I've seen both sides to this a number of times... it usually is not pretty. Mortal ponies going after demons. The things with most who are just mindless soldiers... they don't feel remorse. All they feel is hate and the desire for blood and death. My form was given to me by the Grim Reaper himself. I am to atone for the sins I made. This body I now have being the twisted version of me representing my sin. My living bandages being my armor against aggressors. My shadow blades being my weapon to reap the souls of those whom sin..." Sadist then trails off. She sounds saddened. She knows full well about herself and her sins. Despite her demonic look, she seems to have moral code and some sense of mortality in her emotions.

 

Sadist thoughts traveled to what she heard in the briefing. Thing was, she knew it was bad. She didn't know it was THIS bad. She sighs and looks down. She was not sure how to think about all this. It seems so crazy.

Lee listened intently to the briefing. He didn't want to miss a thing. At the end, he started to raise his hoof, then decided against it. Everything he needed, he could get from Mooncrypt. He also knew better then to draw attention to himself. He was under investigations after the Golden pines incident after all.

@, 

 

Heartless remained quite for the rest of the briefing. All the information was sufficient for her to retaliate against these demons. She knew all too well when it comes to missions like this. It was in her code, an android which she believed to exist for the sole purpose of war though this time it was less like a war and more like a liberation. 

 

She leaned back, "A guerrilla warfare, this ought to be interesting".

 

 

 

Sadist approaches the Grand Inquisitor, she nods and sighs herself. "Honestly, I was expecting some pretty bad reception to my presence here anyway. I however do understand.

Heartless kept an intimidating stare on the white demon, she assured herself not to trust any demons, especially for what had happened back in her own world. Even the white demon's speech wasn't enough to convince her. She still believed that all demons would end up the same way, corrupting the world with their sins and foolish ideals. 

 

(What's the Golden Pines incident?)

"and what would happen if they succeded with summoning a greater demon lord in equestria? "

 

"Well... you are one of Twilight's ponies, you must have learned something about the topic. I'm sure your mentor would be turning in his grave right now." He shrugged. "Well, first off, it's a demon who is roughly the size of a large house and power that could crack a mountain in half with a few blows, with an agenda of turning this plane into their personal stomping grounds. That, and it leaves a big blot of corruption both where is spawns and where it decides to go, as well as the fact that they are... well, they are usually, anyways... quite intelligent."

 

Taking a breath and with a glance around the room, he sighed. "Very well, everyone. The armory is at the far end of the hallway; the ponies down there will get you suited up and well equipped, even if they are a bit blunt." With a rather strained smile, he stood up and moved towards the exit. "I want to meet with Moon Crypt in my office. The rest of you, report to the airship docks in one hour, where I will answer any additional questions or comments. Best of luck to you all, everypony." With a meaningful look at Moon Crypt, he left the room. With a sigh, Moon Crypt stood up and stretched before following. You thought you noticed a green flare outside that faded almost instantly before the pair walked off.

 

((The Golden Pines incident was my last 'successful' roleplay that was completely my idea before this one. It was the story of Moon Crypt and a company of Inquisitors going in to purify a small town that was thought to be a target of the demons. It ended up with the banishment of the Greater Demon Lord Mar'Del, as well as one of the inquisitors becoming a lesser demon lord. It died prematurely due to some stupid choices on my part outside of the roleplay, but we got over fifty pages done. Moon Crypt, Lee, and perhaps other characters I might introduce later are involved, you will have to ask them in the roleplay.))

@, @,

 

((You just godmodded. Consider it a warning.))

 

"No, for I will not be the one returning to Tartarus this day!" With a heft of his boot, he delivered a thunderous kick to your stomach that, while it inflicted almost no pain, caused you to take a few steps back, which was more than enough space for the demon to recover from the ground. The demon made no move to obtain his axe immediately, however, instead circling, using this time to examine your guard for weaknesses. The other demons had their eyes fixed on the two circling warriors, the dragon-pony ignored by most except for the demons he was closest to.

Sadist watches and notices the green flare in Moon Crypt's eyes. She was not sure what to make of that but something doesn't seem right. She has to keep an eye on him. While she knows it's none of her business to peep on Equestrian Empire matters, she has a bad feeling about Moon Crypt. She waits for everypony to leave before stealthily following The Grand Inquisitor and Moon Crypt. She needed to know if her suspicions were justified before proceeding with the others. She will not kill anypony but she will need to make a plan incase her suspicions were true. It would pain her to harm anypony in the government but if she has to do her job, she would have no choice. For now, however; any drastic moves would be foolish. She will need to wait.

She looked at the mare, and by the way she was grinning, Muddle couldn't help but think that something bad was going to happen. "Understood, the thought had never even crossed my mind." She looked to her side, before bringing her attention back to the both of them. Still, no sign of her shadow anywhere. What was taking it so long?

 

"Um, by the way, exactly what do you two mean by fun?"

Now that the Grand Inquisitor's briefing had finished, Heartless stood up. The others seemed to be hurrying themselves to pick up their equipment except for that demon, who was creeping behind the two prestigious characters. She was sure that demon didn't have any idea that the Lord Inquisitor was a changeling. She couldn't care less about the demon and proceeded to take her equipment the engineer had packed for her earlier.

 

After picking up her stuff, she trotted her way to the arms depot to see the others. Midway, she suddenly changed her mind and decided to head straight for the airship dock instead. She had no solid reason to see them anyway.

After the briefing, he checks his blades, and watches the rest of the groups actions. "This might actually interest me."

Lee had been watching the she-demon and saw her take off after Mooncrypt. Even though he knew his friend could handle himself in a fight, fighting a demon on your own is another matter entirely. He stealthily followed Saddist, casting a camouflage spell he'd created to cover his presence from sight and also muffle the sound of his movement. He followed a little ways behind her until the otheres were all out of sight. He dropped the spell and said out loud "And just what do you think you're doing?"

Darius saw the two circling and, growing bored with the fight, blew a stream of flame in between the two of them, boiling the ground between them. The heat from his breath was enough to make the lesser demons on either side of him squirm and move away. (((Hope that wasn't g-modding. I can change it if needed.)))

Sadist didn't jump but it was a surprise that anyone would give chase after her. She looks behind her seeing Lee. A moment of silence followed and she closed her eyes, sighing. "If you must know, I am curious about the Lord Inquisitor's origin. If you had any thoughts that I would attack either of them, while I don't blame you for thinking it, banish it. If I had any intention of harming anypony, I would of already ended five lives easily at this point. Yet you see no pony dead do you?" Sadist said. She was growing aggravated at all these ponies poking at her. If she had something to hide, all these ponies would be dead already.

Lee nods. "I've come to this conclusion myself. Infact, I'd would've been dead the moment I spooked you. The fact that I wasn't meant one of two things. Either you were up to something even more devious then just killing, or you had an innocent curiosity. I can help you with the second, if you like. If you're talking about Mooncrypt, he is a very mysterious being. He's probably the closest pony I have to a friend, other then my sister. He's a changeling, obviously," At this point, Lee unconsciously check himself to make sure he was still his normal unicorn form. He wasn't ready to reveal his secret to anypony yet..."You can tell by looking at him. Anyways, I've heard that he just wound up in canterlot out of nowhere. Raised by ponies. That's about all I know, and I don't think you're going to find out very much more about him just sitting here watching him."

Sadist then sighs. "I see. Well I had a suspicion that he was some sort of being besides just simply being a pony. The weird thing is that he spoke snake spit at my kind which isn't typical of Changelings. That's proves he is has been train by ponies. Now the thing is, my kind and the Changelings don't speak to eachother much, but I have done a few execution jobs for Queen Chrysalis on occasion. It turns out there have been some problem changelings in her hive lately." Sadist then sighs and shakes her head. "Sorry, derailing the conversion a bit. Either way, I was told be nice to Moon, so I guess I should leave it be for now. Like I told the Grand Inquisitor, I'll tell you to you too. I don't  have any intention of stepping on anypony's hooves."

((I'm gonna poke you and say have patience next time. I was going to have a slightly more fun interaction with ponies other than faceless adepts, but since you forced the barrel... oh, well. Let's see what I can do.))

 

The pony bowed ever so slightly before departing to a corner of the room, watching you as you practice your swordcraft for a moment. As you turn to leave the room, however, you hear a huge crash from beyond the door. Opening it, you are presented with scattered blades, a dazed pony, and a really irritated stallion that seems to be roughly the size of the door frame you are standing in. His robes designate him as the armory's master- that is, the organizer and director of most of the Inquisition's armories- and the grimace on his face does not look inviting. "Hey!" he shouts, his voice sounding like an avalanche, "Watch where you're going next time! I'm not going to stand fools around here." The pony stood up, straightened his robes- which, you saw, had the lower section shredded by the metal- and bowed before beginning to pick the swords back up, carefully setting them in a nearby rack.With a sigh, he turned and looked at you, looking you over before his eyes laid on the sword. "Ah, she looks good on you, but I wonder if her spirit has chosen well. Cadence isn't exactly a fighting branch, now, is it?"

((@, Yes, it was.))

((@, Not sure what to do here. I need to focus on reforming the group at point B, so if you want to start something or have a bit of patience, that would be nice. ))

@, @,

 

As the pair walks around the corner, you notice that the changeling- Moon Crypt, while turning, caught a glimpse at the two of you, the look of irritation deepening as he realized that he had been seen out of his disguised form, especially by the one creature he wanted to avoid being revealed to. Then they were out of sight, what little could be heard of their voices spiralling down and down outside of the audible spectrum.

As Heartless reached the far end of the hallway, the armory shop was just ahead. She saw some familiar pony and one of them wore a silly hat.

 

"ID code confirmed, Disruptis". Disruptis somehow had this strange aura that she couldn't make it out. "Who is this colt?" Heartless questioned herself. Magic on the wizard pony wasn't completely new to Heartless, vanishing equipment into thin air, but the fact that there's more to his silly getup than meets her optic eyes. Anyway, she ditched the thought as she walked past the armory.

 

Heartless abruptly halted her tracks, she thought it might be a good chance for her to open up to the other inquisitors. She began to trot back to the armory and approach Disruptis, trying to beat that nervous feeling. Weird...She had no idea why must it be him, no idea what made her went back to the armory. She didn't know what to trust, her instinct or her mission, although it seemed she was going for the former. "What's going on? Is my W3L1NK system overwhelmed, again?" that particular 'bug' really bugged her this time.

 

@,

Heartless held out her hoof, "Hi, I believe I haven't heard your name...before". She bit her hard lips. Lying wasn't part of her duty, she knew Disruptis well, only from the Branch of Cadence's database. She somehow felt she wanted to know more.

Disruptis turned around to see the metal pony that was in the briefing room. He shook the outstretched hoof. "Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Disruptis," he replied, "It's been a long time since I have seen a fully functional robot before."

 

"Before?" Heartless puzzled, she could hardly believe it. Does it means that this world had android before? Not that she knew, which upped her curiosity even more. Her eyes shot a curious look on Disruptis, tilting her head a little. "You met an android before?" she asked the colt.
