Across the magical world, cries of chaos rang as the Necro soldiers attacked a small village in each immortal country. Each leader found out about these creatures, how their subjects were slaughtered and outrage could be felt across the world that Discord could sense the chaos.

The next morning, the Immortals had been called to Canterlot castle by Princess Celestia, ponies had been moved from small towns to bigger city where guards could concentrate their numbers.

The guards were as easily in fury as their own brothers and sisters in arms were slain to this enemy. It was only natural that a want for revenge was thriving through these ponies.

The Immortals made it to Canterlot Castle where they must discuss how to deal with the new threat.





I woke up to a panicky Twilight, I asked her what was up and I was shoved a newspaper headline. A headline that depicted a massacre on Appleloosa.

The Necromancer has played his/her hand!

What if the Necromancer showed his forces here next? Surely he knew about the Elements? They wouldn’t dare try so close to Canterlot after one invasion surely?

That being said, I got my machete and my bow and arrows and went for a walk on the town.





“My fellow Immortals, thank you for coming here on such short notice. As you all know, we have a big threat on our hands that has struck not only your homes but mine and your fellow Immortals as well” Celestia spoke up

A room full of very old creatures but still retaining a youthful look nonetheless were present in the room. All these creatures were closest to the meteors when it struck almost 3000 years ago. Immortality had been given as the magic was strongest to those very near it.

If a room of Immortals is gathered, it is either a happy long reunion, or a VERY BIG threat is around and unfortunately, the latter was the case this time.

There was Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence of the ponies, Emperor Sharp Beak of the griffons and Queen Clawford as his wife, Shaman Zebecca of Zebrica, Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings, and Iron Wall of the Minotaurs.

“Yes, what are we gonna do about those pests?” Chrysalis asks
“Somegriffon tell me why SHE’S here? Last I checked, Chrysalis invaded Canterlot for a pile of love and almost got away with it too” Emperor Beak asks
“Queen Chrysalis, while a slimebag, is here at mine sister’s request” Luna answers
“That is enough, we need to focus more on this Necromancer!” Zebecca says
“Iron wall agrees!” Iron Wall agrees
“Still with the third person eh?” Clawford mutters to Iron Wall

Celestia gave a sigh and spoke up.

“Our countries have been invaded by this Necromancer, clearly he wants something out of us but the question still remains, what will we do?” Celestia points out
“We fight! I will not have some dead-conjurer bigshot make a mockery out of me and get away with it!” Beak raises a clawed fist in outrage
“HEAR HEAR!” Most of the room sounded

An agreement looked quick until this comment came up

“What about the human I’ve been hearing about, Celestia? How do we know he isn’t the Necromancer?” Zebecca points out
“Joel cannot possibly be it, we have talked with him and he’s been with Princess Twilight the whole time” Cadence spoke up
“Who’s to say that? It may have been illusion magic. A human shows up after we thought them all but purged and then a few days later, these monsters attack our kingdoms! I smell the Necromancer on his flesh!” Emperor Beak says his accusation
“Surely thou must be jesting” Luna facehoofs
“It isn’t a ridiculous theory Luna, The human has been reported to be out of town a few times, how do we know he hasn’t raised an army?” Zebecca reports
“So you HAVE been spying around, Zebecca! I knew you were lying when you denied having spies in Equestria!” Cadence points a hoof at her
“I did it out of concern, Equestria has had many weird things happen” Zebecca says fairly
“Iron Wall says the human must be destroyed!” Iron Wall shouts
“YEAH!” The griffons shouted
“All in favor of this motion say Aye!” Zebecca says

Unfortunately, everyone except the ponies said Aye, so that means that now, Joel is now an enemy of the Immortals and must be killed…immediately.

“Motion passed, the meeting is therefore adjourned! The Equu’s Allied Nations shall go to war with the Necromancer!” Celestia says regretfully.






Six hours later…

“Joel! JOEL! Where are you?” Twilight called panickally
“Here, Twilight” I answered

There was something up with Twilight, she was clearly in a hurry and needed me.

“Joel you have to go!” Twilight says
“What? Why?” I ask
“read this” Twilight says as she shoved a letter to me

Dear Joel,

You need to leave Ponyville at once! Earlier today, the council of Immortals were called here to Canterlot. The good news is, we have united to fight this Necromancer's forces. The bad is that the everypony excluding Luna, Cadence and myself, think you're the Necromancer or in his inner circle at the very least.

They are coming right now as we speak, fly! Get out of Ponyville! Hide! Do not come near civilization unless you have a good enough disguise. If you move out of Equestria, the ponies cannot help you but DO NOT ENTER THE CHANGELING KINGDOM!

Also, avoid the diamond dogs if you can and do not hide in the Everfree as well.

Enclosed is a travelling bag with 200 bits and food enough for a couple of days.

I’m sorry it came to this, Good luck and do not reappear anywhere until the war is over or that it is safe to appear again.

Princess Celestia





I can’t believe this! THEY THINK I DID THIS?! They better sleep with one eye open if I’m in their neighborhood.

“All right, I better get going then” I say at once.
“Please stay safe, Joel” Twilight wishes
“I will, and thank you for all the friendship these past few days” I say

To my right, guards of all kinds came rushing to my location with Crossbows, spears and blades.

“THERE HE IS! KILL HIM!” A griffon shouted

You know, the element of SURPRISE would have been good instead of announcing it out loud! But yeah, I have an idea of something to escape. I am probably going to get a worse reputation at this point but I don’t think it matters at this point.

“Twilight, do you trust me?” I ask Twilight as they were drawing closer
“What?” Twilight looked at me like I grew another head
“Do. You. Trust. Me?” I said it slower
“Y-Yes” Twilight answers
“Good, then play along and act scared for this one” I ordered

I pulled out my machete and put to Twilight’s throat as they came in shooting range. I put my best "evil thug" face on.

“BACK! BACK! ANY OF YOU COME CLOSER, SHE DIES!” I shout at them in a threatening manner

Twilight looked scared and shocked I was doing this, but nethertheless, she played along. I feel bad for making Twilight into this situation but if I outright ran with their weapons raised, I don’t think the super speed would save me. I need their weapons lowered, even a split-second helps.

“ANY OF YOU SO MUCH AS ATTEMPT TO KILL ME HERE, HER PRETTY LITTLE THROAT WILL BE SLIT WIDE OPEN!” I shouted maliciously

Man, hearing myself is creeping me out! But I put on an evil smile to show I was serious and put the machete closer to her throat.

"All of you! Lower your weapons!" A Griffon commanded everyone

See, if any of these guys still watched movies, they’d see through this trick right away, but thankfully they lowered their weapons. Seriously, this is going WAAAAY too well.

(Note: Alicorns would not really be in this position so easily, The Fact that everyone thinks Joel is the Necromancer sort of clouds any vision of realisticness and common sense so to say. Well not Griffons exactly, they are so aggressive they can be blinded to things that can be obvious, that being said, Griffons are NOT to be underestimated) 

“Sorry Twilight, this probably is going to hurt” I mutter to her

Twilight did not say a word as I summoned all the force I could and shoved Twilight straight into the Griffon Emperor and Super Speeded the hell out.

(TheDawsonator1 would like you to know that he doesn’t condone any sort of violence against women, so no hitting! Unless it’s sexual!)

“GET HIM! GET HIM!” The Emperor shouts as I sped off.

Arrows came flying my direction and I got to cover and ran outside the town in a matter of 30 seconds, and with that I was running as fast as I could and far away as I could from this place. I never knew I could run so fast in my life. 

After passing a few more hills, I stopped and caught my breath as I saw Ponyville have a shield placed over it, that means I can’t go back. For a few glorious days it was a home, a friendly town with a many a quirk, but it felt like a home in this future.

But I could not have time to reflect for I saw both Pegasus and Griffon forces flying my direction with the rest not far behind.

To looked to my left and discovered a black mist heading my toward the EAN (Equus’ Allied Nations), but the EAN are too focused on my direction to notice.

This gives me an idea, if I lure the EAN’s gaze towards them, a battle must happen! While they are fighting, I can lose the tail.

It’s high risk but high reward, so I put my plan in motion at once.

“HEY LOSERS! LET’S PLAY TAG! YOU’RE ALL IT! COME AND GET ME!” I called out
“There he is! Shoot him!” a Pegasus said

I started running again towards the black mist. Really, I must be either a damned genius or out of my mind. Probably both and thank god for that or this would never work.

Both the EAN and the Necro-Forces saw each other in which I dodged right and one arrow hit the back of my pack but not in my pack somehow as I escaped into the nearby woods.

I ran and ran and ran and ran as far away from the battle until I ran out of breath, I looked around and waited a few minutes before I was certain I lost the tail.

I was a wanted man now in a middle of a war and right now, I had nowhere to go specifically but I walked somewhere, I don’t know where but I will go somewhere…
