"You have defied the Law Horseman, you have started the End War before humanities' appointed time the Demons and Angels fight amongst themselves prematurely. The law was clear when the Seven Seals are broken the End War begins, is that too hard for you to understand?!" the gravelly voice of the Charred Council echoed in the room the fires within their stone maws flickering with each word they speak
"No" was War's only response his voice young but laced with eternal bitterness, youngest of the Four Horseman he rides the Black Horse leaving blood and bones in his wake, his eyes and hair white as the cold glare he gives to those that stand before him, but in the face of the Charred Council he is powerless
"Yet you defy us" the statue on the left continued whilst the the one in the middle continued "YOU FORGET YOUR POST HORSEMAN YOU FORGET THE LAW, NO CALL WAS GIVEN!"
"To Hell with your claims I was summoned" War retorted bitterly
The voice on the right took his turn to speak "If you were 'summoned' were the other Horseman not summoned as well?"
"The seven remain intact there was no call" the middle one continued
The right one spoke again "you broke a sacred covenant that has doomed mankind, and threatened the Balance, do you not deny it?"
"You have defiled the Law Horseman, You Will be punished" the voice on the right spoke
War had lost this debate knowing he cannot defy the Charred Council. "To Oblivion with you, your arrogance has done too much damage" the middle one spoke
A portal of fire burned beneath War's feet as he sunk into the earth desperately trying to claw out of the expanding portal. but alas he fell into
Oblivion......
------------Meanwhile---------------
Twilight Sparkle personal protegee of Princess Celestia and bearer of the Element of Magic. It is the new year and she is out with friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Spike your personal assistant watched the night go by, watching fireworks go off sending explosions of color and light into the night sky and enjoying a picnic as they do so.
"Wow what a lovely night" you sigh looking up at the stars a small tripod mounted telescope sat next to you as you watched
"I couldn't agree more darling" Rarity agreed the alabaster unicorn
"Mmmmmhm" hummed Pinkie Pie her mouth stuffed with cupcakes
"Princess Luna must have outdone herself" whispered Fluttershy
"Yes we have young Fluttershy it was not mere effort to bring the moon this close" their lunar deity said as she appeared in a flash of light.
feeling a sudden wave of heat all the residents cringed at the change the air taking a more drier feel.
"My my is it me or is the summer heat closing in already?" asked Rarity summoning a fan she began cool herself down
"I don't know" Twilight answered but she can already feel sweat forming on her brow, feeling a strange aura she looked up to see an orange ball of fire hurling towards the ground not far from Ponyville, as meteor showers were a rare occurrence in Equestria.
"What in Celestia's name is that?!" somepony shouted
"Are you sure you didn't schedule a meteor shower Princess?" Rainbow Dash asked
"Nay, we have not been inquired about a meteor shower" The Princess replied
The ponies nearby the meteors' landing zone fled in different directions as the burning mass drew ever closer to the ground, the heat in the air intensified before impact sending a shock wave of force throughout the town. Some unfortunate residents were flung in the air like a doll tossed away by an angry child.
Twilight and her friends as well as Princess Luna herself ran to the crater. At the moment all they could see was smoke and burning rock, peering into the smoldering crater they saw naught but fire and debris.
A Large armored hoof shot up from the ground grasping the edge in front of them, Fluttershy shrunk away at the immense size of the appendage pulling itself from the crater was the larges stallion they've ever seen. standing as tall as Princess Luna the figure wore heavy armor adorned with wailing faces and skulls, a blood red hood hid the wearer's face but exposed hi muzzle, white strands of hair drooped from the hood his body the color of coal dust and on his flank was a strange symbol it looked like a horses' skull surrounded by a ring marked with runes it was colored bright orange like the fires from which he came. a large blade was strapped to his back its wicked edge feeding off the fear the ponies were giving off.
Raising his head the Mane 6 saw the face of War black with a fiery red symbol carved into his flesh his eyes and hair were white as snow, his face contorted into a stern scowl as he drew to his full height.
"Where am I?" he asked himself brandishing his sword as he glared at Luna "Answer me Creature!" he roared
"I will not be pushed around by the like of YOU!" Luna retorted blasting a bolt of magic hitting him square in the chest, making him step back only once. Gritting his teeth he hefted ChaosEater onto his shoulder before running towards her, Luna fired off bolt after bolt hitting War but barely making him flinch as he picked up his pace Luna's magic seemed to effect him even less and less, ramming Luna sending her into the air he his sword in the air before slamming Luna into the dirt with the flat of the blade.
Bat Ponies assembled in front of their princess, wielding common weapons like swords, shields spears and halberds. though determined to protect, War could sense their fear feeding his blade making him stronger. from his right armored hoof metal fingers grew from the stump he grasped the sword with ease before cleaving through Luna's ranks with one mighty swing.
"Get the Elements" Luna choked obviously winded from the blow, Twilight nodded in reply as she ran towards her home watching the carnage unfold as War crushed Luna's Nightguard with ease. returning with the ornate box she levitated the Elements of Harmony over to their respective bearers.
"Alright girls let's stop this guy!" Twilight shouted rallying her friends together
As War cut down the countless guards he felt a strange aura of power different to any magic he's ever experienced, turning to see six mares all wearing strange pieces of jewelry a rainbow beam blasted from the assembled group, War braced for impact as the beam hit cascaded over him flooding him in rainbow light.the force of the beam sending him flying before carving up the ground as he landed, The Mane 6 whooped and cheered as there was no sign of the mysterious figure anywhere.
"Aww yeah" Rainbow shouted "Another one bites the dust" her moment of victory however was short-lived as they heard the ground rumble. turning to see the figure rise from the ground he shook off the remaining pieces of soil on his armor.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I don't die easy" he scoffed
smoke rising from his armor as he struggled to his feet using his blade for support. his face contorted into a deathly glare, sheathing his blade he broke into a run towards the Mane 6 they were move in disbelief as the Elements had barely an effect on the stallion, as he closer almost to the point of contact a bright flash of light blinded him before a regal feminine voice let forth a loud booming shout.
"ENOUGH!" boomed the voice, a barrier stopping War before contact was possible bouncing off the barrier he got up as this newcomer took a defensive stance before speaking again.
"There is too much blood shed today, return to your homes and take the wounded away I will speak with the newcomer" all who heard nodded in response leaving only War at the mercy of this newcomer.
"Who are you?" War sneered
"I am Princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria, and who might you be?" she asked
"I am War" he replied
