Chapter 1: Ponyville, the town that's scared of everything

Fields around Ponyville

Death's P.O.V.

------------------------------

As I walked, I noticed a small town in the distance.

"That must be ponyville" I said to myself

I galloped as fast as I could, slowing down once I got to the town's border. I trotted through town, looking for Pinkie. When I had reached the marketplace in the middle of town, and still had'nt seen her. I decided to ask somepony where I could find her.

I spotted an orange mare with a blonde mane and a cowpony hat manning an apple stand.

I trotted up to her.

"Excuse me miss, do you know where-" I was cut off when she saw my eyes and screamed.

"AAAH! MONSTER PONY! RUN FOR YA LIVES!"

Everypony in the marketplace turned to me, saw my eyes, screamed, and ran into their respective houses, except for one Mare, who jumped into a bucket of oranges.

"Why does this always happen?" I asked myself.

Applejack's P.O.V.

----------------------------------

I galloped through ponyville to the library, so I could warn Twilight and we could gather the others.

I arrived at the library and burst through the door.

"Twilight!" I yelled.

"What is it Applejack?" she asked me

"There's a monster pony on the loose in town!"

"Don't you think you're exagerrating, or judging by looks, like with the Zecora incident?"

"No Twilight, he had huge Yellow eyes, and the whites were black"

"Um, Twilight?" asked Spike.

"Yes Spike?"

"Doesn't that sound like the ponies in that history book you were  reading?"

"You're right Spike!" Replied Twilight, levatating a book with her magic.

"Um, Twi? What book are ya'll talkin' 'bout here?" I asked

"Well, ponies with eyes like that have appeared through history, each one was remarkably evil." Twilight explained, opening the book" The first one, a unicorn named Conquest, tried to Overthrow the princesses soonly after they defeated Discord. The second one, an earth pony named Famine, Stole food (among other thing) from ponies everywhere. The third, and last one, was War, a pegasus pony, who caused a war between two great cities that were trying to make peace, causing both of them to fall."

"Well Twi, If there names are going along with the horsemen of the apocalyse from Celestia's bible, then shouldn't this pony's name be..."

"Death"

"Death"

"Death"

Me, Twi and Spike all said that at the same time.

"These evil ponies all did something representing the horsemen of the apocalypse, He could spread some sort of Plague throughout Equestria! We have to stop him!" Twi exclaimed.

We all ran out to gather the others.

"Rainbow, there's a monster pony loose in ponyville!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Rarity, there's a monster pony loose in ponyville!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Pinkie, there's a monster pony loose in ponyville!"

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Fluttershy, there's a monster pony loose in ponyville!"

Fluttershy didn't come out.

"A a a a m m m monster p p p pony?" she asked from inside

"C'mon Sugarcube, were gonna defeat the monster pony together" I assured her.

"N n n no, I w w won't g go." she said.

"C'mon Fluttershy, don't be such a wimp" taunted Dash.

"Oh, I'm o okay with b b being a w w wimp, just dont make m me f fight the m m m monster p p pony." she said.

Twilight sighed, then grabbed Fluttershy in her Telekinetic grasp.

Death's P.O.V.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I walked through the streets, almost forgetting why I was here in the first place. Suddenly, 5 Mares Jumped in front of me. One of them was the Orange earth pony from earlier. A pink and Yellow Pegasus hid behind her mane. A purple unicorn yelled at me.

"Stop right there, monster pony!"

A blue pegasus with a rainbow mane asked the other 4 mares: "Hey, where's Pinkie?"

Oh, that's just dandy. Finally somepony who knows where Pinkie  is, and there trying to kill me.

Suddenly I heard a shout.

"DEATHIE!"

And I was tackled by the pink puffball known as Pinkie pie.

"Ouch, that's gotta hurt."

Ponyville

Death's P.O.V.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Before anypony could explain anything to anyone, a familiar purple earth pony with an orange mane trotted by.

"Hi Pinkie. Hi Death."

He trotted over the the orange earth pony mare.

"Applejack, It's so good to see you!"
