Prince of Equestria
Chapter 26: Atirik's Adventure
At the gym in Equestria, Mario, Twilight, Rarity, Kit, Eliza and Trixie are all training. Anti-Mario and Rainbow Dash are out while "Shadow" Backbiter Flynn has left to take care of a monster attack in another dimension. MTSP is training alongside Kit, using the push up bars to do push ups. The prince is training to improve, expand and gain more control of his attacks, powers and abilities.
Mario smirks.
"Looks like you can't beat me at anything, Kit," he said
Kit growls.
"I can and I will beat you," said Kit
Meanwhile, the girls: Twilight, Rarity, Trixie and Eliza are weight lifting.
"Trixie is fucking magical, great and powerful already. Why should she have to train?" asked Trixie,
"It's because we all need to get stronger so when the next threats come, we will be ready," said Twilight
"What she said," said Eliza
Rarity nods
"Mhm," said Rarity, with her mouth closed
"Fine.." Trixie muttered, under her breath
This ancient Egyptian pharaoh spirit in a crystallized head resembling that of King Tut, is Atirik. He is a former ally of Mario the Sonic Plush and Twilight Sparkle. He broke away and left the allies, as he decided to go solo, which is why he wasn't seen or mentioned in the previous chapter.
Atirik, in his crystallized head form, the one who was still considered a king at birth and born in 20 AD, is floating on the rooftop of the Canterlot Castle.
"You don't understand, plush…" muttered Atirik
(Flashback)
September 13, 2020..
Atirik and Mario the Sonic Plush both glance at each other. Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Trixie, and Eliza all are stepping away from the two of them.
Atirik slaps the prince.
"What was that for?!" yelled Mario
"You are an idiot aren't you? You used more for your stupid game show more then anything else. I couldn't do much because you and Twilight always had to save the day. I wanted to join you guys. I wanted us to be friends. But I was ignored. I barely took on any action because somehow, I wasn't any use to you. Pathetic and to think you were the chosen one. How can a great hero like you push others like me away to the side? It's fucking bullshit!"
"Look, I offered you many times to help us stop the villains and you backed out. Technically it was on you," said MTSP (A/N Mario is telling the truth when he says this)
"LIAR!" yelled Atirik, "I am sick of being your slave! That's it, I am out of here!" said Atirik
Atirik punches Mario the Sonic Plush, knocking him so hard to the brick wall.
Twilight looks at Atirik angrily that he hurt him.
Atirik transforms back into his crystallized head form and flies off, leaving the allies there and Mario still knocked out.
Twilight is calling an ambulance in panic.
(Flashback ends)
"I never saw them again and I never will. I'll show that plush who I really am. I don't need him or Twilight!" said Atirik,
Suddenly, Atirik is hearing a familiar voice calling out to him. It sounds like it is Kit.
Atirik flies down to see who could be calling out to him.
The dark orange fox then walks to Atirik as he lands.
"Are you lost? Is something the matter?" asked Kit, concerned for Atirik.
"No, I am not lost. That pathetic Mario the Sonic Plush did this to me! I was no longer any use to him and he treated me like a slave. He only used me for his stupid game show and that's it. I wasn't allowed to even fight much because of him." said Atirik,
"That doesn't sound like him at all. Don't you think you are being a little over dramatic?" asked Kit.
Atirik yells at Kit
"No I am NOT!"
"I'm sorry to hear that…come with me," said Kit.
Atirik then transforms into his physical, human pharoah form again. His battle uniform and the good old sword in his hand that he hadn't even used yet thus far in the story suits his style, along with his short, jet black hair. His late grandfather would be proud of him.
Atirik willingly joins Kit, and both set out on an adventure.

Another draconequus is running around Equestria. An evil one. He is wreaking havoc and torturing the citizens, even unleashing spikes on the ground so the ponies can die and perish. He is far more deadlier than Discord ever was.
The ponies are screaming.
"My brother, Discord, had failed. He was such a fool to become one of those pathetic 'rejects'. Now I have come to finish the job," he said
The evil draconequus grinned. The prospect of surpassing his younger brother made him smile.
Blood splatters everywhere on the streets. About 70 innocent ponies are murdered. It was all thanks to the evil draconequus.
Thunder appears in the sky as he laughs in a sinister manner.
He is Hareses, the Lord of Order just as his brother is the Lord of Chaos.
Hareses looks somewhat like his brother, Discord. He even has the same gray skin tone that most draconequus have. However, he has a darker, brown goatee, has black sclera and green pupils for eyes, has two devil looking horns, and his legs are goat legs.
—-
Atirik and Kit overhear Hareses speak.
"Oh god. This guy is an even worse version of Discord," said Atirik
"I know. Listen, all we got to do is put a stop to his reign of terror," said Kit
"Yeah but how we will do that?" asked Atirik
"Follow me," said Kit
Atirik and Kit start to walk around the street, looking all over for Hareses.
—-
Meanwhile, Mario the Sonic Plush, has a piece of pizza in his hand that he brought when he & Twilight just briefly visited Earth. He chows down on it.
The prince is furious. He still couldn't get the painful image out of his mind. How could Atirik, not only turn on him, but beat him to the ground and completely act like such an idiot as to misunderstand the whole situation? If Atirik wanted to take more action, why could he not just tell him? Did Atirik not even trust him?
"This is bullshit. I didn't even do anything to piss him off!" yelled Mario
Twilight puts her hand (formerly her hoof) on MTSP's shoulder. (*A/N Twilight and the ponies, minus Trixie, start to evolve into more human like creatures, right now they are anthro ponies and it will be explained more when we get to later chapters*)
"I know…" said Twilight,
"Why did he do this?" asked MTSP
"I wish we knew…" said Eliza, with tears coming down her eyes
Trixie and Rarity tearfully agree.

Aitirk and Kit suddenly end up walking through the Everfree Forest. They stumble across a hut.
The duo walk inside of it but they see what appears to be a female zebra meditating. She notices the two guys walking by and faces them.
"Hello there. What brings you two here?" asked the zebra.
"Um, we just ended up here…trying to find this evil draconequus. I believe you heard of him," said Atirik
"He's the one that's been rampaging around Equestria. Discord's brother, Hareses." said the zebra
"Yes that's the one," said Kit
Suddenly, both the duo are shocked at the sudden revelation that the evil draconequus they saw is Discord's brother.
"Wait a second? You mean to tell us that the evil draconequus we saw is Discord's BROTHER? No wonder why he looks so much like him," said Kit
"Exactly," said the zebra, "if you are wondering who I am, the name is Zecora," she said
"Well, I'm Atirik, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh from the time period of 20 AD, the grandson of King Tut, and this is my friend, Kit", said Atirik, introducing himself and Kit to the zebra
"Hey," said Kit
"It's nice meeting you. Anyways, I think I may know a way to stop him," said Zecora
"You do?" asked Atirik
"Yes," said Zecora
Zecora hands Kit and Atirik something on her hoof. A bottle.
"Huh? What's this going to do?" asked Kit
"This bottle is a potion that will grant you two unlimited power. Just the abilities you have now aren't enough to stop him. He's even worse than Discord when he was evil," said Zecora "Drink it,"
Atirik is handled the potion and drinks it, then passes it to Kit. Kit also drinks it.
Both men start to glow.
Atirik bows.
"Thanks Zecora. We must get going. Take care," said Atirik
Atirik then transforms into his dragon form and Kit hops on his back. Both are flying in the distance
Zecora smiles,
"I have hope in them. I know they can do it.." said Zecora
—
Hareses is continuing his evil reign of terror by sucking the magic out of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
"You two must die, for all have to finish what my dear brother had started," said Hareses
"You won't get away with this, Hareses!" yelled Luna,
Celestia simply just growls.
Hareses chuckles.
"Really now?!"
Hareses then drains Luna and Celestia of their magic with his left hand and he flies up in the sky.
He leaves the two princesses for dead.
"I will be taking over Equestria from now on. Every pony and every citizen! Rise up and meet your new master!" announced Hareses.
The citizens gasp. They couldn't believe what this evil guy did to Celestia and Luna. He was going to pay.
The dragon is seen with Kit, flying through the sky as they suddenly begin landing down on the streets, facing Hareses.
"Stop right there!" yelled Atirik
Hareses lands on the ground.
Atirik the lands with Kit. He turns back into his human form again.
"You will pay for what you have done…." said Atirik
Hareses looks at the ancient pharaoh, laughing.
"Oooo. You want to be serious and try hard do you? 'Oh hello, I am a pharaoh from ancient Egypt I am so scary' Hehe nice try but that's not going to work," said Hareses
"We are not stupid, fucking bastard. We know what you have done! You made Equestria into a living hell. You even killed Celestia and Luna. Like what were you even thinking?! Do you have no heart for anybody?!" yelled Kit
"That's for being the Lord of Order. Equestria will have to serve under me!" said Hareses
"Not when we are around," said Atirik,
"Alright. If you want to play it that way. Here's a challenge," said Hareses,
"MIND WARP!" yelled out Atirik,
Atirik unleashes his Mind Warp attack, which he does so by aiming a big, powerful, yellow orb of energy towards Hareses.
Hareses gets hit and knocked out. Unfortunately for them, he gets back up.
"Ha! You think you can stop me?! How's this!?" yelled out Hareses
Hareses snaps his fingers, and possesses Celestia & Luna. Both now have dark, black & red eyes, and that they are horribly disfigured, with lines & wrinkles everywhere. They are simply possessed by evil.
"Now, attack them!" commanded Hareses,
"Yes, master. We will obey your every command," said Celestia and Luna both simultaneously.
The evil Princess Celestia and Princess Luna then go ahead and attack Atirik & Kit. The two possessed princesses use powerful dark magic to try to kill the two heroes.
However, Kit dodges it and grabs Luna by the hand. Atirik does the same with Celestia. Both are knocked out again, and they are no longer under Hareses control.
Well, at least Celestia isn't.
Princess Luna then wakes up and transforms into Nightmare Moon.
"Hello…" she said,
"This is just fucking great. Son of a bitch. Princess Luna? What happened to you? What type of evil being have you become?!" said Kit
"I am no longer Princess Luna. I am Nightmare Moon!" she said
"What the fuck?! This isn't right!" yelled Atirik.
Hareses laughs.
"It's simple. I remembered how amazing and powerful Luna once was, when she was Nightmare Moon, until she was defeated by these pathetic shits, and forgiven by her sister. I simply brought back Nightmare Moon and now she will finish you off!" said Hareses
"You bastard!" yelled Kit,
"Kit, you go fight off Nightmare Moon and restore her back to normal while I deal with Hareses himself," said Atirik
"That sounds like a plan," said Kit, agreeing with Atirik.
Atirik and Hareses start attacking each other. Atirik throws a blue sphere of thunder towards Hareses.
That almost destroyed Hareses but he attacks Atirik back with a powerful wind move, with yellow lightning coming out that can shock the pharaoh.
Atirik is thunder shocked with lighting bolts all over him. He's burning.
Atirik doesn't give up. Instead, the bolts around him only make him stronger. Atirik tries using his sword against Hareses to slash him into pieces but that doesn't work as Hareses launches another attack, a solar beam, back at him.
However, Atirik dodges the attack. His arms glow and a huge, gigantic fireball comes out in one of the arms. Once the huge gigantic fireball kept on getting bigger and bigger to the point of erupting like a volcano, he aims it towards Hareses, almost burning Hareses to a crisp.
Hareses can barely get up and stand.
Nightmare Moon flies up and lifts Kit up into the sky with her telekinesis. Then, she assaults him by throwing him down onto the ground.
Nightmare Moon flies up and then comes back to punch the living daylights out of Kit. She lifts Kit up with her telekinesis again and throws him towards huge piles of rubble.
Nightmare Moon laughs, and keeps on attacking him, even attempting to perform spells on Kit. They don't really work against him.
Kit growls, in anger at what Hareses did to his friend.
"I won't let you get away with this…" said Kit,
Kit turns into Dark Kit.
He smirks.
"Alright. Now, it's time to get rid of you once and for all…to bring back Princess Luna!" said Dark Kit, "HA!"
Dark Kit uses both his arms, and throws a Big Bang, explosion attack, enough to completely make Nightmare Moon vanish.
Dark Kit's dark magic is much stronger enough to completely get rid of Nightmare Moon.
"NOOOOO!" screamed Nightmare Moon.
Nightmare Moon, the dark and possessed spirit, vanishes into the sky. She's back to Princess Luna, although Luna passes out just like Celestia.
Hareses is angered by what happened to Nightmare Moon. His dearest creation has been destroyed.
"Fuck YOU!" Hareses yells, at Kit and Atirik
Dark Kit and Atirik then meet up again and face towards Hareses.
"Are you ready to be blown to bits and pieces? Because you will be." said Atirik,
"Bullshit! I will take you both down!" yelled Hareses,
"You won't. It will be us who will take you down.." said Dark Kit,
Dark Kit's eyes glow purple. He then unleashes a black flame from his hand, and passes it over to Atirik.
Atirik unleashes a blue orb from his hand, and combines it with the black flame from Dark Kit.
The blue orb and the black flame together make a big powerful move that can banish Hareses.
Hareses is horrified, with shock written all over his face
"What? How is this happening?! It can't be!" yelled out Hareses, in shock
"The fate of Equestria will be back to normal, and not with you ruling it!" yelled Atirik,
The fury fire blast move completely is expanding. It has gotten bigger enough to completely absorb Hareses and send him flying.
"No! ARRUGGHH!" screamed Hareses, as he is being absorbed by the fury fire blast.
The blast then sends Hareses into the sky and he vanishes. Everything goes back to normal with magic & life being restored, even in the two princesses. The only trace of him and record that he was there are the 70 innocent ponies that were murdered on his watch.
"You two did great. Thank you, for stopping Hareses," said Luna
"We'll make sure he never comes back here again," said Celestia
"It's not a problem at all, your highnesses," said Atirik, as he takes a bow.
Kit gives a thumbs up, as he turns back from his dark form to his normal form
Suddenly, Mario the Sonic Plush walks up to the both of them, with Eliza, Trixie and his two girlfriends Twilight Sparkle and Rarity,
Kit has no comment and walks away from them while Atirik is pissed to see Mario again.
"Congratulations to you two. You did amazing out there," said Mario the Sonic Plush
"Thank you," said Twilight
Atirik then runs up to Mario and punches him,
"Ow! What the HELL was that?!" yelled MTSP
"You…." growled Atirik
"Me? What did I do to you? All I said was a thank you," said MTSP
"You have the nerve to show yourself back here after what you did to me. You used me, and only wanted me for my game show. You didn't want me to help!" yelled Atirik
The prince gets angry at him but tries to be calmer about it.
"Listen Atirik, you thought wrong. It's a lie. You are lying to yourself. That's not what happened at all" said MTSP
"Yes, it is the truth! I don't like it when people badmouth me, as if I don't deserve to be respected at all, ancient royalty or not," said Atirik
"You do remember me asking if you want to stop the bad guys, do you?" asked Mario,
"Yes? But what does that have to do with anything?" asked Atirik,
"You backed out and didn't say anything. You didn't even say no. It's clear that at the time, you didn't feel like it. I considered you because you were a part of our team, Square ZX. I assumed you were focusing on something else. I never even used you at all. You wanted to join us. I also offered you a role in my game/variety show, Challenge of the Hedge, and you accepted it. Really. I would never manipulate anybody into doing something they did not want to do. I am also sorry for misunderstanding the situation, and it's my fault that I didn't specify myself in our last conversation with each other. I really apologize as well," said Mario
Suddenly, it clicked in Atirik's head. The prince really was telling the truth all that time.
Atirik can't help but to shed a few tears.
"I-I'm sorry too. I had no idea, I was a fool," said Atirik, as he runs up and hugs MTSP.
"I was stupid…I should have listened to you right then and there. Just please, promise you will include me in everything when it comes to fighting and being heroes," said Atirik,
Both MTSP and Atirik are hugging each other.
"You're not stupid…it's just a miscommunication between us is all. And yes, I promise I will," said Mario, patting his friend on the head.
A few minutes later, the two broke away from the hug.
Kit then runs up and punches Mario the Sonic Plush in the gut, with a smirk on his face.
"OW! What was that for, Kit?!" yelled Mario,
"Next time, please be clear. I was mortified and angry that you actually did something horrible," said Kit, still with his smirk in.
"Ok, ok, Geez. I get that. Damn, you sound just like my mom," said MTSP.
Twilight, Rarity, Trixie, Eliza, Celestia and Luna laugh.
