The Four Horses of the Apocalypse

Famine

Famine walked around Ponyville, ignoring the commotion  around the block, all he saw was smoke and rainclouds.

After a few minutes of looking he stopped to think.

"If I was an immortal horse disguised as a mortal pony, where would I be?" Famine looked down,"Oh wait..."

Famine proceeded to walk to different places, looking for the other three. After an hour of searching, he decided to rest.

"That looks like a good place to lay down." Famine walked to a tall tree with enough shade to let him rest in the cool breeze, but the odor of iron was in his coat."I'm gonna need a wash, but not now, I to need rest."

Famine slowly closed his eyes to drift into a short nap.

"Hey, what are yah doin' 'ere?"

Pestilence, War

"This was a bad idea, they just slam the door on us before we even ask them." War said to himself.

He watched Pestilence talk to a pony at a stand, but the pony fleed after Pestilence said something. Pestilence's came back with an unhappy face.

"That was rude, I walked up to that stand over there and asked them if they know a place that has meat." War gave a questioning look,"Don't give me that, I'm hungry. Mistress Pestilence fed me meat instead of the imp oats, she said it was bad for me."

Imp Oats were fed to the horse before and after they get sent on a mission. It was nothing special, just the tiny bone fragments of grinded down imps. The meat Pestilence was given was always different kind of meats, human, fish, bear, hurbflumb, even horse, to both Mistress and Sister Pestilence, meat was meat and nothing would change that. The only reason was becuase they couldn't taste it.

"I'm getting hungry myself, go ask another stand where we can get something to eat." War said

Pestilence gave a small sigh and walked back to the stands, she came a one stand and asked the question they pony pointed to a small shop that looked way to colorful. Pestilence looked both ways, leaned in, and asked the pony another question, but before Pestilence could get an answer the pony ran away like the last stand owner. Pestilence sighed and walked back to War.

"The pony said we can get something to eat in that place over there." Pestilence point at he same colorful shop.

"You asked for meat didn't you?" War asked

"What makes you say think I asked?"

"The pony ran away in the same fashion as the last one you asked."

"Oh, you saw that huh? Well um... Let's head to the shop."

Pestilence ran ahead a bit and walked the rest, War slowly walked there sighing half the time.

They reached the door to the shop, it had white walls, a brown roof, and a small tower in the middle. The tower resembled a human pastry, a cupcake.

"Sugarcube Corner

"Well the name isn't so bad." Pestilence said to War, who just barley caught up.

"As long as there's food." War walked in hoping to get a bit a food, but the lights were off.

"The store must be closed." Pestilence said,"I'm so hungry I'd consider eating Imp Oats."

"But then why is the door unlocked?" War pulled back Pestilence and summoned his horn to drew his sword.

"SUPRISE!" The light came on and the store was filled with ponies and party supplies, but they the gasped when they saw War's great sword pointed at them.

"What is this?" War kept his stance, but Pestilence ran towards the food table.

"It's your suprise party for you and your friend overthere." replied a pink pony,"Remeber me? I was the pony that told you about cutiemarks, remeber now?"

"Yeah, I remeber. Listen mort- I mean Miss, we are just trying to find our third nrother and be on our way." War thought for a moment, "You wouldn't happen to know the coldest place on this is planet would you?"

"You mean the Crystal Kingdom? That place is the most shivering cold bringing kingdom in Equstria... I love it there, but not as much as Ponyville." Pinkie said, wearing a snow cap out of no where.

"The Crystal Kingdom huh?" War said to himself,'This might be the easiest armogeddon, all we need is to gather the-'

"HEY!" The crowd of ponies and War looked towards the commotion, where Pestilence looked at everpony with anger.

"Where's the Meat? I'm starving and if I don't get meat soon I'm gonna eat a-mmphf." War quickly covered Pestilence's mouth before she finished the sentence and ruined a perfeectly good opportunity at getting to the Crystal Kingdom.

"W-what what d-did she say?" A teal pony asked in the back

"And what did she say s-she'd eat?" Asked a magenta one with streaks in her mane.

War had to think fast, if he said a lie they might accept it and move on, but no Pestilence already said meat so that won't do. He coud slaughter them and let Pestilence devour them, oh but if she did she would be punished for gluttony...

'Maybe, if I reveal ourselves they would flee and all we would have to do is regroup with Death, and Famine is supposubly in the town so if they send their Military again we could stand a chance, sounds like a good plan.

'

"Alright you want answers?" War reached for a glass of water, "Here's your answer!"

The Water splashed War and a bit got on Pestilence, War began to change back. His coat began to burn, then his mane to catch fire, next his eyes burst into flames then died down leaving an a dim light in the empty sockets.

There was enough water to shift Pestilence as well, Bits of piece of flesh begon to rot and fall of like a lepper.

Ponies screamed and ran but stopped cold in their tracks when they heard laughing from outside.

Death

"Okay, that seems to be all of the souls, lets see that makes...1, 2, 5, 7, 12, 56 souls! Better get to Brother and Sister and help them find Famine." Death made his way out of the hospital and just in time too. The hospital collapsed on itself, rubble and dust clouds filled the air, making it impossible to see.

*Cough*

"Damn it!"

*Cough, cough*

"Wait, I'm dead this doesn't affect me."

Famine slightly emmbarresed walk out of the fog and down the hill to Ponyville.'Demons, that name is annoying.'

On the way to the town center, he saw a gingerbread looking building. When he looked through the window he grew a smile on his face. It was Brother War and Sister Pestilence, but their disquises wore off, he laughed when the mortal tried to leave, but when the door openedthe froze in place staring in his direction.

"Oh. don't mind me. When these two are done I'll be right here...Collecting your souls. War, would you ever so kindly pass me a water?"

"What ever you say, BoneBag!" War summoned his horn a picked up a glass of water, he pushed open the window next to him and chucked it at Death, hitting square in the face.

Ponies gasped in horror when glass shards were inbedded in Death's face and eyes. When the water settled in, he immediatly burst into flames, coat and all maelted away by the heat of the fire, when the fire dispersed charred bones were on the floor. More Ponies around the street began to scream, some threw up a bit, others fainted.

But when the bones began to rattle, that's when things began to get worse.

The bones threw themselves up and slowly rebuilt a skeleton of the ony, when the jaw was locked back into place a red dot appeared acting as the eyes, then when the skeleton looked around, he began to luagh. Harder and louder sickening luaghter became, horn summoned, scythe equiped, ponies trembeled in fear. Trying to piece together who he was.

Everypony ran when an old green pony yelled,"I't be the scythe wielding demon himself, It's Death run for yer lives!"
