"Huh wait what." I said looking around seeing nothing but a huge gate in front of me. (Gates where have I've seen these before........) I thought to myself. "It's been a while hasn't? Death asked me. "Ah now I remember this place." I said to Death. "I haven't seen you since you were a human back during WW3 how has it been?" Death asked me still curious about was has happened. "As you can tell right now with all the ponies you are getting here a massive Civil War between the two princesses." I said looking down at the ground kick my hoof back and forth. "I've been aware about the war but I had no idea you were in it." Death said to me. "I kind of wish I was not." I said walking back and forth still looking at the ground. "That's funny I thought I just heard one of the most battle loving well pony now say he wish he was not in a war......is something wrong kid?" Death asked me a little concerned. "I'm fine it's just.....that I wish this could have all been avoided I've been killing some of my old friends...I said tearing up a bit. "Hmm mortals I truly never got their emotions." Death said to me looking at his hand.
"Look I just wanna get the fuck out of here." I said raising my tone and stomping on the ground. Death looked at me and gave me a look like well what the fuck are you complaining to me about.
"So am I dead or not?" I asked Death. "No and yes at the same time." Death said to me. "So what does that mean?" I asked looking at him tilting my head. "It's up to you if you want to stay dead or fight to stay alive." Death said before disappearing. The whole room changed it was the castle I saw everypony most of them were crying but some were celebrating that the war was over. (Fight to stay alive what the hell was he talking about.) I thought to myself.
Death appeared before me with a scythe. "This is what I meant fight to stay alive." Death said to me. I shrugged wondering what he meant still until I caught on. "You want me to fight you?" I said looking at him funny. "That is if you want to save all of those you care for." Death said showing Celestia's body twitching a bit. "She is not dead?!" I said out loud. "Well clock is ticking what is your choice fight me or stay dead?" Death asked. "What am I supposed to fight with?" I asked Death. "Well this is Purgatory you can use anything your mind comes up with but one rule no guns on melee weapons." Death said. "And magic can I use it?" I asked. "Why the hell not." Death said to me smiling at me. I imaged a katana in my hooves and there it was I infused it with a holy light spell since it's Death it seemed to work best. "Ready?" He asked me. I nodded. "You know only 4 people have made this fight out alive and only 1 pony." Death said to me. "Save the small talk I have no need to worry." I said pulling my katana out of the sheath. "Well then I hope you won't mind if I change the weather I love the rain." Death said to me. I nodded I guess he forgot I love the rain as well it heightened my senses. Death was the first to strike he rushed into me I jumped back and rolled and slipped a bit from the rain. He tried to slice the ground where I was I rolled out of the way and flew up. He threw his scythe at me it barley missed cutting a bit of tail hair of me. I knew I had time to react I charged down diving bombing into Death my hooves went right for him knocking him down I heard his scythe coming down to me I rolled out of the way Death stood up and caught it with his hand as it came back down.
I was shocked he was able to do that. I saw a few of his ribs were cracked. "No healing magic I'm taking it." I said to Death he nodded at me. I saw the water starting to stack up again I used my magic to create a bright flash so he could no see anything I slid under him and cut off one of his legs. He fell to the ground. "All right enough you win." Death said making everything go back to gather. I helped him up and healed his broken body parts for him. "Nice seeing you again feel free to stop by sometime." Death said to me. "We'll see about that." I said shaking his hand and waving goodbye. I sat there for a second then Death put me back into my body. I awoke to having a very sad Twilight and others by me and very tear stained coat. "Oh man did that hurt like a bitch." I said stretching one of my legs.(I guess Death healed my body back to normal.) I thought to myself. "Wait.....huh....what.....you were just dead about 2 hours ago." Cadence said in shock. "Purgatory..I know Death and he said in order to come back alive I had to fight him and well let's just say I won." I said. "How do you exactly know Death?" Shining Armor asked. "It's a long story." I said to him. He just nodded. "Now we have to deal with her." I said pointing to Celestia. "I thought she was dead." Twilight said to me. "No she is very much alive." I said backing up a bit hearing her start moving around. "Indeed I am my dear commander." Celestia said smiling blood dripping out of her mouth.
