Equestria's Damnation

Our tale begins, innocently enough, with our horsemen serving Samael. They had agreed that if they brought the hearts of the Chosen, they would gain access to the Destroyer's spire. War was sent to slay Tiamat, the bat queen. Conquest was to take on the Greiver. Pestilence made quick work of the Stygian. And finally, Death was to tear out the heart of Straga. They gathered back to the prison after 72 grueling hours. They presented their respective hearts to the Blood Lord. "Hehe..... you have proven your worth, horsemen." Samael chuckled.

  "Straga has told me things about you....... you lied to us. The hearts were unneeded in our journey." said the Pale Rider.

"I was sure that this would happen.... regardless, I shan't go back on my word. Enter the portal, the four of you, and you will face your greatest challenge yet...... I guarantee you that." Samael was unfazed by the horsemen's discovery of the truth. Each stepped in. only to be greeted by the sky, and an abrupt falling sensation, followed by them blacking out..............

Two hours of falling had past, and the four brothers had finally woken up, in a strange village, resembling the Third Kingdom a great deal. First to get up was Pestilence, his scrawny frame somehow supporting the spiked greaves and gauntlets that adorned him. Death came around next, his thin yet muscular body supporting the minimal armor he bore. War and Conquest were the last two. The latter easily flying up, with the use of his wings, resembling an angel's. His armor, if you could call it that, was a simple robe with a golden chainmail suit under it. War, being the strongest of the four, easily made it to his feet, even with the steel plates weighing at least 50 pounds, and armor covering him nearly head to toe.

  "Ruin!" He called.......... nothing.

  "Ruin!" He tried again.

Still no response. This could mean one of two things. Ruin is not in this realm, or he is too far from him to be called. He assumed this was true for the other three steeds as well. Now it was time to check their surroundings. It was a....... colorful world. The most outstanding thing though, were the residents that surrounded them. They were very small horses, not even that........ ponies would be a better word. They were clad in armor that seemed loosely based off of the spartan armor.

"HALT!" The horned one barked. "and state your name and business."

  "I speak for all of us when I say your hostility will be met with death." War sneered.

  "By order of the Princesses, we demand you drop your weapons!"  This made War draw his ChaosEater. "you think you stand a chance against the end of all existence? Think again, pony." War said. They clearly had no idea who they were dealing with. He swung his sword to what appeared to be the leader, only for it to be met with a scythe.

  "Brother," Death interjected, "we are not to make enemies in this realm, not yet. They may end up helpful if we are to ever return to Earth." his insight was correct, as out stepped an armorless pony with a blue mane and tail. "Guards, lay down your weapons, that's an ORDER. They don't seem to have malicious intent, besides the red one." This made the mentioned horseman roll his pupilless eyes. "I think we got off to a rocky start. Hello, I am Shining Armor, captain of the Equestrian Royal Guard. Who are you?" He asked with a sheepish smile.

  "I am Conquest, bringer of a new age." the white rider began,

  "I am Pestilence, bringer of disease." said the green rider

  "I am Death, and you should graduate kindergarten if you can't guess what I'm the bringer of" the pale rider snapped

  "And I am WAR, bringer of CHAOS. I warn you, challenging the horsemen is a suicide mission." the red clad Nephilim barked. "Well, er, now that we have introductions out of the way, I would humbly ask you to follow us to the Princesses." Armor inquired.

  "Depends, pony, are these the rulers of........ wait, what in the Nine Circles is this place anyway?" War demanded.

  "Er- well, you're in Ponyville, on the planet Equestria." the pony in question answered, trying not to anger the strange creature that stood before him.

   "Equestria? Let me guess, your planet is inhabited mainly by horses." Death said.

  "And don't mind my temperamental brother, he can have a rather short fuse. I have yet to meet a mortal figure of royalty. Lead the way."

And so, the group began their trip to Canterlot, that is, until they came face to face with a Chimaera.

   "Huh.... I always thought those were myths." Conquest thought out loud. War stepped to the front of the group, Tremor Gauntlet ready. "It doesn't matter. At least I'll get a semi challenging foe." He drew Mercy, and shot with deadly accuracy in the eye. The Chimaera screamed in agony. While it was focused on its pain, it failed to notice War charging straight for it, about to send a shockwave its way.

  "this just might be fun.........." punch after punch, each with boneshattering results, he thrusted his fist into its face, eventually hitting the nose. The shock went from the nose to the brain in a matter of nanoseconds. This sent pain surging throughout the mind, and soon enough, the Chimaera collapsed on the ground, all life drained from its one good eye.

  "W-what was THAT?!" Shining asked, a dash of urgency in his voice.

  "That, pony, is the Tremor Gauntlet. Capable of breaking bones at its weakest, and causing earthquakes unrestrained."

  ".......... I think you should join the guard, we're low on troops, and what we have is honestly pitiful."

   "I'll consider it........ I'll need some entertainment if I am to be stuck here"

And so, the group continued, a mere half hour away from the royal city.
