Harmony and Author were flying throught the empty sky of The Veil when they saw it in the distance. A small forest was growing in the distance. The Veil had too much magic for plants to survive for long so no one was going to bother planting them unless they had another reason to plant them than for growing food.
''The Soul Reapers must be in this forest.'' Author said even thought it was unecessary to tell it.
''Should we enter the forest or should we attack from a distance?.'' Harmony asked his father.
''Normally I would want to enter it to make sure no innocent are inside it. But the chance that someone others than the the forces of Gaia are in there are very slim and we can't take any chance with them. This is the biggest threat we faced since the war. Let's combine our attack and blow this forest away.''
'You know that we will need a lot more than a explosion to defeat Gaia this could be a waste of our power.'' Harmony replied.
''I know, but this forest obstruct our vision, which could be dangerous for our soldiers. And I'm hoping we can kill a few of her minions in the process.''
''Fine then let's do it.'' Harmony said with a resigned expression.
The two of them concentrated and form a giant spiritual orb then they proceed to throw it in the middle of the forest.
If infiltration was the objectif then they would have fail the moment the orb touched the ground. As soon as it did the explosion that followed could be heard miles away and the ground shook so hard it would probably have damaged the houses of numerous civilians if there was any houses in The Veil.
Once the smoke cleare away almost half of the tree of the forest had fallen on the ground and they could see a few humans holding a infinity symbol on their clothes laying on the ground.
Author send a smaller orb in the sky that exploded like a firework. The assault had begun.

After the explosion shook the ground they were standing on, a lot of the soldiers of the allied force did all they could to not run with their tail between their legs.
Soon after a orb flew up in the sky before exploding. Trying to keep the fear under control the soldiers began to march toward the battle.

Gaia stood watching as the alliance began their attack on her. She grin The Reapers may be outnumbered but it didn't matter they were the one with the overhelming power the numbers of soldiers her father had wouldn't matter in the end they would all fall under the crushing force of herself and Editor.
But even if the two of them was enough Gaia wasn't stupid enough to rely on only the power of the shards.
She concentrated and the giant ball of magic that was Editor began to glow violently before two familiar being came back in existence.
''Time Skip and Muerto Titiritero. The two of you have disappointed me. But now you two have the chance to make amends by helping me defeat the alliance of Author and Harmony.'' The vampire responded with a sadistic smile and bowed to his mistress.
Time Skip on the other hand had the opposite reaction. ''I will never work for you again you crazy bitch!'' He slowed down time and tried to hit Gaia in the face but even with the speed he had by slowing time Gaia was able to predict this reaction and step out of the way before he could hit her.
Once his time bending spell wore off Gaia trap Time Skip into vines that sprout out of nowhere. Gaia smirked as he struggle to get out. ''Oh Time Skip you speak as if you had a choice in the matter.''
The Elder Goddess of Life put a hoof on Time Skip's forehead and his eyes flashed an unhealty green color before going back to normal.
''Time Skip you and Muerto Titiritero take care of the Equestrian ponies they have been a thorn on my side for too long I'm finished underestimating them.''
''Yes mistress.'' Time Skip responded in a emotionless voice.

Three Days Ago
Infinitus was sent in the griffin Kingdom to prepare for the coming war. He was standing in front of the castle dungeon. Two griffins was standing in front of him.
''Sir you are not allow here. I would ask that you return where you came from.'' One of the guard said to the white wolf.
Infinitus rolled his eyes. ''You know what I find funny? You mortals feel so safe when you have a little pointy stick in your claws never doubting that a crazy god will just pass and kill everyone in his way.''
After saying that he let a wave of electricity on the guards they both screamed in pain before dropping on the floor dead.
''Oops look like the maids will have more work to do tonight.'' Infinitus entered the dungeon and there was his target in the cage right to him.
Alexander look up and saw who came visit him. ''About damn time you came! I've been rotting in here for months!''
''You're lucky I came here for you at all after your miserable failure to complete the prototype! But you get a second chance we will begin our assault on The Council in three days and we need as much skill soldiers we can. Do well in the coming battle and you have the potential to become an elite for the Souls Reapers.''
Alexander scowled but finally sighed. ''Fine I will help you if you give me back the prototype.''
Infinitus grin. ''It like it was arleady done.''

Alexander stared at the coming army in the distance. He smirked as he saw his brother Sonata in the crowd. ''So you came to the party huh? Not only will I become a ruler of the new world but I will finally give the last griffin who ruined my life what he deserve.''
Alexander touched the glove that contained the powerful souls of electricity, earth, wind and fire elementalistes. If he was lucky that little brat of a Pegasus was here too and he would complete the prototype with the water magic he need.
He smirked. ''The griffins and the rest of the world will learn that they shouldn't have reject me as their rightful ruler!''

The allied force was coming closer and closer to the now destroyed forest when a very quick being came charging at them. Before they could understand what was going on they could hear soldiers screaming bloody murder in the back.
When they turn to see what was happening they saw that some of the people in their ranks had turn into undead. While they were occupied taking care of the ghouls Titiritero took the chance to make more victims.
''You!'' A midnight blue Unicorn exclaimed when she saw the undead stallion. ''You killed my sister fillyfriend and you broke her heart! How dare you come back here!'' Gone was the normally shy Unicorn instead a angry sister took her place.
''Oh don't blame me for the death of her lover, I was aiming for your sister not Golden Pie, but being the stupid dirt pony she is she took the blow instead.''
A uncontrollable rage took Meek Sky without even noticing it she began to lost control. Her mane and tail caught fire and her eyes began to glow with powerful magic. ''Ahahahah! Free at last I will burn everything!'' As soon as spirit was loose she threw fire balls at everyone around her both alive and undead.
The allied force understanding they had a insane monster on the loose choose the wise decision of retreating.
Titiritero scowled as he had to dodge a few fire balls sent on his way. Tired of the assault he decided to jump in the air and kick Phoenix in the face. ''Take that you maniac! You ruined my ghoul army you little runt!''
''Runt?! I am the Lady of Fire when this pitiful filly will stop resisting me all the worlds will burn under my rule. And you dare stand in my way?! You will burn undead scum!''
And just like that a battle between two monsters began.
