Holy shit, over 1300 views. Fucking thanks to every one of you. Btw, the reason I haven't posted recently was my birthday and a Christmas party I had to attend, so my writing time was cut short those days.
The two returned back to the castle. Midnight went off to find Luna and talk, while Steven needed to finish his chat with celestia.
"Hey sun horse, I'm back!" Steven entered the throne room and found celestia with a mountain of cake. By mountain, like a fucking mountain of cake, with clouds forming on top of it and things. He even saw a mini yeti on the cake mountain. "God damn it "Steven said, face palming. " I let you be princess again and we're nearly in debt to pay for cake. How you even got this or ruled before me is unimaginable"
Celestia wiped the cake from her muzzle. "Hello Steven, how was your night?" celestia asked, acting as nice as possible. "No no no, you aren't getting out of this predicament that easily. Also, where the hell did you get all of that cake anyway? That must be at least 200 kilograms (440 lbs.) of cake" celestia looked down in slight shame. "Pinkie pie made it" she responded. That explained it all, he should have guessed it was her. "Mmn, I see. What needs to be done in the kingdom, princess sun horse" celestia looked at him with a scowl. "Nothing as of now…king" she used the title king, he felt achieved. He had finally fulfilled his dream of being king of an equine world.
"Princess celestia we're friends right, so I have to ask you something" She laughed for nearly five minutes. "Us… friends!" she began laughing again. Steven disliked her comedy and gave a grunt. "Listen, I do hope we can be friends in the future. That is, if we put the hatred away" she stopped laughing on a dime. "You are the one who needs to stop, you are the one being violent after all. Damn, she had a point.
"Listen, to make amends I will kill your biggest enemy" she thought really hard, for a whopping 2 seconds. "You" Steven should have expected that. "Second most hated enemy"
She had assigned Steven to assassinate a pop singer of the pony world, just-main beaver. Seeing resemblance to a certain 'quality musician' (if you could say he produced what I would call 'quality music') Steven got his weapons of murder, a crowbar, his gun, shorts sword and double sided sticky tape.
"Steady, steady" Steven said, putting the sights on the thin ponies head. This was the first time he assassinated a musician, so he was excited. Suddenly, a swarm of foals blocked his view. "Damn, time for plan 'slaughter from up close, burn the body' or as I like to call it, plan 'meet a politician' (A/N I dislike what our government is doing 75% of the time)
Steven slowly crept to the stage and hid under various supplies. "And now we wait like a Jehovah's Witness with an I.Q. over 1" Steven mumbled while waiting for his prey
Twenty minutes and three dreadful songs later he came out of the stage and into the back. Steven crawled to him, then lazily stood up and grabbed him by the neck. "Orders pal, and your music sucks" (j.b fans butt hurt incoming, I can feel it)
Steven dragged his prey while under an invisibility spell to the castle. He and his new play toy went to the dungeons. "Hey blueblood, you have company" Steven said, throwing the musical atrocity towards blueblood and three brutal looking griffons in the cage. The griffons began growling in their language and walked towards blueblood and the new cellmate. "Have fun you youngsters!" Steven called before walking out. Screams scraping and slamming noises could be heard from 3 rooms away.
"Done princess sun mover!" Steven called, alerting her of his presence. "Oh Steven, you're back. I appreciate what you did but if you really want to make amends, there is one other mission" Steven sucked air in through his teeth. "Fucking Christ, what now" she walked up to him and looked him in the eyes. "It is simple, just help attend night court with my sister Luna. She has been stressed recently and if you do this, I will fully forgive you. Do not kill anyone while there as well." Steven let out a deep sigh.
Night court was as bad as it sounded. At least midnight arrow was allowed to tag along, or he would have died of boredom. "So midnight, you never fully told me what you did to lose your job" 'what did I say last time, I don't want to talk about it' Steven groaned in frustration. "Listen midnight, you're holding out on me and I know it. Tell me and I will tell you some deep secrets of mine" midnight gave him a scowl. "Steven, it didn't work last time and it won't work this time. My secrets are mine, alright." Steven rubbed his forehead. "Listen I'll start. I am sexually attracted to porcupines. Your turn" midnight looked horrified. "Fuck man, just… fuck. Please don't literally of course, but god damn dude. Listen, I lost my job because I left on the invasion of the changelings and went to saddle Arabia. My leaving caused dozens of politicians to die. Later I killed 2 guards and was deemed unfit and a traitor. I would have spent 25 years in prison, but you changed that"
Steven patted him on the back. "You caused politicians to die, nice job!" midnight cringed at Steven and his antics. "Dude, ponies died because of me, ponies died!" Steven happily nodded. "Not any ponies, politician ponies. Damn fine work son." Steven placed a golden star sticker with the words 'good job' on midnight head.
"The court will start as of now. This court is in session" Luna called. A pony with loads of blueblood similarities came forward with a stallion who looked more country in toe( hoof) "now beginning the trial of silver platter and maple leaf" the case was presented by two ponies looking exactly like earths lawyers, just well… ponies.
"Maple leaf assaulted mister silver platter on the 17th at 4:23 pm. Mister silver platter had 3 injuries on his body, including a broken leg and dislocated shoulder." Maple leaf stood up and began his rant. "You hit me first, city colt!" silver platter jumped up and began his argument. "Maybe I did, I only did it after you bumped into me and made me drop my precious plates" "OBJECTION!" Steven roared, bursting from a corner unnoticed until now. "Silver platter, get your fancy ass out of this court room right now, or else my boot will make you. Maple leaf, welcome to the royal guard!" Steven tossed a helmet at maple leaf's feet. Luna, the judge and leader of the court had her mouth open as well as everyone else. "Alright, next case gentlemen."
By the end of the night, Steven had assigned 5 stallions to the guard, 3 death sentences (which equestrian didn't have yet) 6 jail sentences and a total of 436 hours of community service. Luna and celestia were upset but Steven and his 5 new guard members were alright with it.
"Trixie, you have guards now" Steven said, with the 5 new guard's right behind. "w-what do you mean Trixie has guards?" Steven pointed to them. "These are yours, treat them well." Trixie beamed. "Alas, the great and powerful Trixie will get back at some ponies in pony Ville" Trixie stated and walked out. "Have fun kid, stay safe!"
"Steven, I cannot say I am happy with what you did, but you made the court more interesting and Luna seems to be better, at least slightly. Thank you for your help, you have changed this world." Steven smiled as he looked out at the bright vibrant sky. "I sure have changed this world. And for that, I am sorry"
Trixie came strutting in, her eyes more fiery than usual. Steven found her in his room, sitting on his bed. "what did you do Trixie?" Trixie looked as confident as ever. "The great and powerful Trixie made herself the best unicorn, and challenged twilight to a duel." Steven lightly hit her with a newspaper. "Trixie, you are the apprentice of the king. You do not have to be challenging everyone for power. You are acting like a bitter queen. Trixie had a look of inspiration. "Trixie wants to be a queen" Steven sighed. "Trixie, to be a queen you have to marry a king and…" Steven put 2 and 2 together. "Trixie, I am not marrying you so you can be a queen. You need to calm down!" Trixie did a moan of disappointment.
Steven awoke the next day to find princess celestia and see if she needed help with anything. She found her starring at a window with fear. "What is it princess?" Steven asked. He looked at what she was looking at, to see a window depiction of discord, changelings, griffons and various creatures attacking Steven and the elements of harmony. "Steven, you wanted to change the world right? What I need you to do will change this place for better. But there is a cost. You will die or be wounded severely if you want to save us. Steven looked at the window and saw the elements of harmony in fear. "Let's change the world"
