Everfree Forest
The hydra charged the three horsemen with fury and rage for trespassing in its territory. The three dodged out of the way as the hydra hit a nearby boulder, the hydra shook off the the pain and roared at the three nephillim. Strife started firing his pistols at the beast distracting it for War and Fury to deliver the killing blow. Fury used cracked her whip and bonded the hydra's legs making him topple to the swampy floor; War took the opportunity and sprinted towards the beast ready to bring down his great sword upon the beast. The hydra however had other plans; it broke free of the grip and swung its tail knocking War and Strife through a couple of trees.
"This thing is tougher than we thought." said Strife reloading his pistols.
"It seems that we have to come up with a strategy to take this beast down other than running in like mindless apes." said War gripping tightly to his great sword.
"You got that right so what's the pl...Wait....where's Fury?" The two looked around for their sister only to see her fighting the hydra head on! "Damn! Come one we have to help her!" said Strife running to help his sister only to be stopped by War who grabbed him by the collar.
"Hey what's the big idea?"
"She can handle herself, after she is done with the creature we can go find Death."
"Whatever you say so."
The hydra roared in anger with cuts from Fury's whip all over its body, it then charged at Fury and try to use one of its head to engulf her in its powerful jaws. Fury instantly rolled out the way and wrapped her whip around the hydra's legs making it fall to the ground again. She then jumped on its back and wrapped her whip around all four of the Hydra's necks; the hydra quickly got up and panicked kicking and smashing in to trees and boulders. Fury hanging on to her whip's around the hydra's neck like a rodeo decided to end things now for they were delayed enough time from finding Death. With one powerful yank of her whip the Hydra yelled in agony as its four heads was cleanly sliced off it's body. Fury then somersaulted of the back of the hydra as it fell to ground never to get up again.
"So we ready to go now that the distraction is taken care of." said Fury walking to her brothers who nodded in response and continued walking in the forest. Fury walking ahead of the group solemnly put her head down. "Don't worry Death were coming for you." whispered Fury as they traveled deeper in the dense forest.
Cave Chamber
Nightmare Moon fired another blast at Death who easily rolled out the way. She then teleported im front of him with her horn powered up trying to impale the rider, but thanks to Death's reflexes he blocked the attack with is sickle blades and pushed her back.
"Luna this isn't you, come to your senses!" screamed Death hoping to get though the princess of the night. The dark alicorn only laughed chaotically at the nephillim's ignorance.
"Fool, there is no more Luna! Only Nightmare Moon!" screamed Nightmare Moon as she blasted a barrage of magic at the pale rider. Death advancing slowly deflecting every attack Nightmare shot at him. When he got close enough he jumped over Nightmare and punched her square in the nose sending her skidding across the ground. It pained Death hurting the alicorn, even though she wasn't really trusting of him when he was bounded in their castle she still managed to get along with him the second time they crossed paths. Death thoughts were interrupted when he noticed the black slime on Luna which was giving off a yellow mist.
"Corruption," Death whispered to himself. That's why she was acting like this, Crowfather must have done a type of spell, "There is only one way to end this." said Death as he looked to his belt and eyed a glowing green vile. Death sighed hoping the plan he was thinking of would work, he shook away his feelings for Luna safety and focused on the task at hand. He morphed his scythes into his double-bladed staff and got in his defensive stance.
"Ready for round two?" said Death with a hint of cockiness in his voice.
"Gladly, whelp!" screamed Nightmare as she charged up her horn and charged Death.
Everfree Forest
The three riders walked through the forest calmly. War and Fury where getting irritated with Strife's complaining about food.
"I'm sooo hungry!" yelled Strife gripping his stomach.
"Our brother might be in serious hell and all you can think about is food?" said Fury sending a glare to the youngest rider.
"I can't help it, I'm sure big bro is fine anyway-arrgggh!" The three riders griped their heads in agony as all three of them saw a flash of Death fighting a winged horned horse. With another flash everything came back to reality.
"He'll be fine you say." snorted War as Strife smiled sheepishly. All of a sudden there was a mighty roar from the trees War brought out his great sword and Fury took out her whip, until they were stopped by Strife."Don't worry I got this one." said Strife as the two nodded and put away their weapons. Strife took out both of his pistols and cocked back the triggers. Once he did that a giant purple like bear emerged from the tree line and roared at Strife and then charged. Strife did a barrel roll out of the way and opened fire on the Ursa Major. The Major charges him again but Strife wasn't quick enough as he was knocked into a tree, Fury gave a light chuckle at this.
"I think he's begging for mercy little bro." joked Fury as Strife recovered from being dazed.
"Oh, haha, Fury why don't you shove it up your-" Strife was then cut off as the Ursa Major engulfed him in its jaws. Strife trying his best not to get crushed morphed his to pistols in to a shot gun and shot upward in the Ursa Major's mouth causing the bullet to go straight through it's skull. The giant bear crashed to the ground as Strife stepped out the jaw of the beast.
"Shall we continue?" asked War in a serious tone.
"Yeah, let's go."
The three horsemen walked throughout the forest when they came to a cave. War motioned the two to stop as he stared off in the dark cave.
"Do you guys feel that energy?" asked War.
"Yeah, it's Death he's in there." answered Fury
"Let's go get our brother." said Fury cocking back his pistols.
Death was blasted on to the side of the wall, he was bruised, cut, and beaten his mask was cracked and black blood trickled on his upper body. He fell to his knees with his scythes in front him. Death crawled to his weapons but it got kicked away by Nightmare Moon. She laughed at his pain and bucked him making him to flop like a rag doll across the floor.
"So tell me Death, how does it feel to be helpless." said Nightmare as she stepped on his arm making a bone crushing sound making Death scream in agony, "Pathetic, here the rider of Death fallen before me." Death slowly got to his feet arms drooping and breathing heavily.
"L-L-Luna, P-P-Please." stuttered Death falling in front of Nightmare Moon. Just before she was about to make the final blow Death swept under her legs with his scythe making her fall on her face and using the green liquid and poured it down his throat. Nightmare Moon gagged at the taste and started to cough up black slime, the yellow aura around her disappeared and the black slime disintegrated. Her coat turned an ocean blue, her mane became the night sky, and her armor has disappeared.
"What...what happed?" asked Luna a daze. She looked around and noticed the destruction in the room What could've caused this?she thought to herself, until she saw the beaten form of Death. Luna's eyes went wide and rushed to his side. "Death! Are you alright!" yelled Luna but the nephillim didn't make a response, "Death, please!" Luna was now breaking into tears as she wrapped her forelegs around Death and nuzzled into his bloody chest. She looked up at his cracked mask and reached a foreleg to take it off, until she felt something push against her head and the sound of a trigger being cocked back.
"Step away from my brother, BITCH!"
Canterlot
Outside of Canterlot Lillith, Samael, and Tirek stood outside the shield around Canterlot with their demon hoard behind them trying to break through the magical barrier.
"My lords, The shield is almost down and soon these ponies will be at your mercy." said Lillith with a bow.
"Perfect soon all of Equestria will be ours soon we take care of Celestia and her six little brats." said Samael
"Yes Father." said Tirek. The demons have finally broken through the shield causing it to crack and crumble to the ground. The demon hoard all rushed in like a swarm of bees in to Canterlot. Tirek walked through the gates of Canterlot and noticed the dead guards and ponies that his demons have already killed when they stormed the gate.
"Revenge is mine!" said Tirek his eyes glowing a bright yellow.
