Death vs Harmony

A True Nightmare

Canterlot Throne Room

After the recent turn of events at the grand Galloping Gala Canterlot is now on high alert for any signs of threat. Celestia and the Mane 6 are pacing back and forth in the throne room wondering where Samael and Tirek took Death and Luna. All of a sudden two guards burst through the throne doors alarming the seven in the room.

"My Princess we have word from one of our scouts." said one of the guards.

"What is it Private?" said Celestia with a slight of hope building up inside her.

"We've have lost contact with all our outpost around Canterlot, I am afraid the Lord Tirek is behind it." said the other guard causing Celestia's hope to instantly fade away. Celestia knew her sister was in danger but at the same time the citizens of not only Canterlot but Equestria as well was in danger.

"Private get Shining Armor and Cadence to put a dome around Canterlot."

"Yes Princess!" The two guards salute and rush out the throne room. Twilight walks up to her mentor and see's her tear stained face, she feels desperate seeing her mentor like this and can understand what's she is going through. Two of her friends are captured while Canterlot is surrounded by monsters waiting to strike at any second. Twilight puts a hoof on her teacher's shoulder and gives her a sad smile.

"Don't worry Princess, well find them." said Twilight

"It's not just Luna I'm worried about." said Celestia

"Then what is it?"

"It's the ponies of Equestria, Tirek has returned with someone stronger and with an entire army at my front door and I am too weak to stop it."

"Princess doesn’t say that in my eyes you are the most powerful of ponies in Equestria."

"But I was there when that monster had Luna in his clutches I could easily rescued her but I was too afraid on what might happened." Celestia sobbed as Twilight put on a comforting smile.

"Princess it's ok to be scared, if you would've charged in recklessly he would've killed Luna and Death."

"You are right Twilight I am glad that I taught a much valuable student." Celestia said as she wraps Twilight into a warm embrace.

"GROUP HUG!!!" yelled Pinkie as she wraps everyone in her hooves for a big hug squeezing the life out of them.

"P-pinkie can't breathe!!" said Rainbow Dash as Pinkie let them go letting them gasp for air.

"Ooops. Sorry guys." said Pinkie with a apologetic grin in her face. The doors then swing open again to see another royal guard rushing in.

"What in the hay is it this time?" said AppleJack starting to get frustrated.

"My Princess the monsters have surrounded the dome and I don't know how long it will hold." said the guard as the seven gasped in shock.

"We need to find Death and Luna now!" roared Celestia


Unknown Location

Death opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings and found he was in a dark cave. He tried to move but couldn’t for he was bound up in chains. He struggled and struggled but he had no anvil of breaking the demon chains.

"Try all you want my child, but i designed those binds specially for you." said a familiar seductive voice

"Lillith, why am I surprised to see you before me." spat Death

"Is that any way to talk to your mother?"

"You are not my mother."

"Isn't I who created the Nephillim and rose all like your sin?"

"My sin!!" Death yelled in anger "It was you, mother, who help Samael trick my brother War to be imprisoned on Earth!"

"Tisk, tisk Death you need to calm down we wouldn't want your friend to get hurt."

"Luna! Where is she? I swear to the maker if you put one hand on her-"

"Since when did you get sensitive for another." Death simply looked away and growled in anger. Lillith tilted her head in confusion then finally put the pieces together.

. "Ooooh! You have feelings for her don't you?" Death didn't respond as Lillith just smiled and walked away out of the chamber. Death sighed in relief as he looked around to see if any other unwanted guests would come. Death then whistled causing despair come through the floor and bucking his chains, breaking them, causing Death to fall to the ground.

"It's about time she left." said Death as he hopped on Despair's back. A crow then perched on Death shoulder and squawked. "Dust see if you can find Luna."
Dust nodded and looked around, then flew off with Death riding Despair behind him. "Don't worry Luna I'm coming."


Another Chamber in the Cave

Luna was suddenly awake with a slap to the face. She jerked awake to see her hooves and wings bound, she tried to use her magic but her horn sizzled out, Luna panted heavily as she tried to use her magic again only for it to fail again. Why isn't my magic working? she thought as she noticed a ring around her horn, A bounding ring, that must be disrupting my magic.

"Right you are Princess of the Night." said a voice that Luna saw the being that slapped her awake. He had a shadow figure with long claws and four blue eyes.

"Who are you creature?" said Luna

"How rude of me allow me to introduce myself. I am the one and only Crowfather at your service." Luna glared at the creature known as Crowfather, for his arrogance and for laying a hand on her.

"Release me!"

"Sorry Princess, I'm afraid I can't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because we have plans for you." Luna gave a confused look, form what Death told her at the Gala Crowfather betrayed Death when he needed him most and is now helping Tirek and Samael.

"What kind of plans?"

"This." confused as Luna was she wasn't expecting Crowfather to wrap a claw around her muzzle as his body started stared to glow a bright yellow and black slime starts to surround Luna's body. Luna then let's out a scream in pain and terror when Crowfather lets go of her mouth.


Death was racing down the hallways of the cave and slicing through any demon passing by while following Dust's trail. He then heard a scream of terror and then recognized who it was.

"Luna! Faster Despair!" screamed Death as Despair whined and galloped faster. Death then found Dust perched on an opening to another chamber with four demons guarding it. Death jumped off Despair and unsheathed his scythes, the demons charged Death as Death side stepped cutting one in half. One Demon swung a mace but Death rolled out the way and jumped on the demons back. Another demon swung his great sword to hit Death but only for him to dodge and hitting his own comrade and for getting his head decapitated. The last demon then looked at Death and roared only for a scythe to go straight through his skull. Death then ran in the chamber only to get knocked back by a source of yellow aura.

Death then looked to see Crowfather turned into a watcher.

"Love the new look Crowfather." taunted Death as he lifted himself off the ground.

"I've been waiting a long time for this rider." said Crowfather with a menacing voice.

"Where is Luna!?"

"While take a look." Death then looked to see a unconscious Luna chained up with her head hung low. Death then sprinted towards her only to be grasping by Crowfather and get thrown on the other end of the room. "You will not touch her while I live rider"

"Then so be it." said Death as he got in to a defensive stance. Crow father rushed Death with his claws as Death formed his scythes into his double-bladed staff the two collided making a shockwave causing the room to shake. Death then kicked Crowfather into the ceiling and leaped towards him and took a swing, but Crowfather dodged the attack and pinned Death to the wall clawing at his abdomen. Death then kicked him off and summoned his giant maul and smacked Crow father in to the nearby wall. Death slowly walked up to Crowfather drawing his scythes.

"Let her go!" yelled Death in anger.

"I will do no such thing rider, she is part of our salvation and our rebirth!" screamed back Crowfather as he carged Death. Death stood there waiting to strike, when Crowfather was only meters away from him he turned in to his reaper form and used his ancient scythe to cut off both of Crowfather's arms. Crowfather then fell on his back and coughed up green blood. Death turned back to his normal form and stood over Crowfather with a foot on his chest pinning him down.

"Death all I w-wanted is the s-survival of the N-Nephillim you had to u-understand why I h-had to betray y-you." Crowfather said weakly. Death pulled out Redemption and cocked back the pistol and aimed for Crowfathers head.

"You didn't betray me, you betrayed yourself."

"Death, Wait-!" pleaded Crowfather but it was already too late for Death had pulled the trigger causing the bullet from the pistol go straight through Crowfather's head making it explode. Death put's his brother's pistol away as he watches Crowfather's body descend to the Underworld once again. Death then looked over to Luna and sprinted towards her he cut off the chains and slowly let her down. As Death was about to stroke her mane he was blasted back. He then noticed Luna laughing manically as her coat was pitch black and wore dark blue armor with black slime surrounding her with a yellow aura.

"You dare touch Nightmare Moon, now you will face the power of the night!" yelled Nightmare Moon as she charged Death.


Everfree Forest

The three horsemen walk along the path of the forest trying to find their lost brother. Strife groaned like a child for he was getting annoyed with all this walking and no action.

"This is so boring, first that striped horse with the weird rhyming, and now where walking on a path for creator knows how long it will end." complained Strife.

"Technically speaking the striped horse was a zebra and I actually liked her." said Fury

"Whatever but can we have some action already." War was starting to get furious with his little brother complains and whines like a helpless child. As the three entered a swamp War noticed some mysterious bubbles coming from the water.

"Strife keep your voice down" War said.

"Why afraid I might be right." barked Strife

"This is not the ti-"

"Of course it's the time."

"Shut up!" War screamed as the ground stated to shake as a four headed beat burst from the swamp and roared at the three riders.

"You had two couldn't be smart for ten minutes." said Fury as she took out her whip.

"Finally!!" screamed Strife as he took out his two pistols.

"Here we go." said War as he took his great sword from his back.
