Chapter 1: Arrival is Death

Cold.... Darkness... Paralyzing.... No breathing.... No heartbeat... No stomach gurgling.... Here I am... in Tartarus.... Now people overate Tartarus. Its not THAT bad. Yes unbearable weather, Cries of prisoners whether sadness or anger. Mostly anger. Lots of anger... Emotion... Emotion means there's life... And I HATE life...That is my purpose in this world. Destroy all life leaving nothing... Not even a single leaf may stand.... Hatred is part of my purpose in this world... Eventually I Death itself, At least that's what others call me, will die. They all will pay with their lives... I turn water to oil... I can raise the dead... I can create green flames... I can control minds.... posses them. Even create a well of power to charge my powers beyond comprehension... I wasn't ready for the day I was whisked away...

It was 2015. At a convention, now here's the thing. A bunch of convention attendees disappeared in a flash of light. A guy from Dark soul.... Two twins from bioshock, a pyramind head, hell even a sly cooper. supposebly. My friends unconvinced thinking this is all a stunt but whatever. I don't care because I'm going to a convention and no ones stopping me. Now who to go as? I scoured the internet for a worthy villain but alas I almost gave up then my friend watched Adventure Time. Specifically he watched a episode with this undead THING. He explained what it was and told me about it. I thought it was awesome and I KNEW who I was going to cosplay as. The skin and lip I merely used makeup, I used really itchy contacts for the eyes, the crown and cloak was easy enough, I only missed the little necklace/pendant but I went without it. The skeleton arms I just used long gloves with a skeleton arm on them. And the flames I couldn't make. I couldn't find a way to make GREEN fire. But whatever I dealed. We drove to the convention center with me groaning about the uncomfortable lenses.

"Dude just take em off" Suggested my friend Cj who cosplayed as a terrorist from counterstrike

"If I do that I wont be able to put em back on!"

Cj scoffed at that remark. He slowly pulled up his pickup truck to the center as I walked out looking around.

"Looks like that Lich costume of yours worked out. No one else is cosplaying him"

"Who would? He's an underrated villain"

Cj rolled his eyes

"I'll meet you here in four hours. See ya" Cj said as he walked away to the convention center. Now Cj barley got in because of the pistols. But he showed the bouncers they were just squirt guns painted black. After I got in I looked around and got a lot of positive feedback on my costume. Hell a couple cosplaying as Finn and Fionna even asked for a picture. I felt proud my hard work was paying off. But then I found IT. The missing piece of my costume! The ruby medallion wrapped around gold connected to another by a chain, I quickly bought it with my cash but it felt odd... It glowed I felt cold... Quisy... Pain but then I was gone... I felt nothing but the cold but then next thing I felt sunshine. I was outside? I looked up and I think I was in a throne room. And I saw her... A giant horse with a horn and wings... But then I was tackled by a bunch of others talking horses and thrown in a dungeon

"What are you?" Said a horse in golden armor

My breathing was shallow. My heartbeat was... Wait my heart wasn't beating! I tried holding my breath but I never felt out of breath. I didn't have to breathe!

"I repeat! WHAT ARE YOU?!" Yelled the guard

I slowly got up and walked to the bars and grabbed them. The new, fresh, shiny, metal bars eroding and rusting

"Your death"

Those single two words made the horse simply stop moving and fall straight down. I walked through reading the minds of these horses like books finding out I'm in 'Equestria. This new world is a Monarchy.

I scoffed at this "Primitive"

Ruled by formerly two princesses now one.

"Banished her own kin... How weak... Pathetic..."

This princess raises and sets the sun. Now she raises and lowers the moon and stars as well. She loves cake.... No children... I even learned the history of the country. I hate this place already. These life forms... Make me feel cold... I must rid them... I must destroy them... I walked or floated to the throne room leaving nothing but decay and death behind me. I slowly gained an army as the newly dead guards followed me to the throne room. I held out my skeletal hand touching the door and watching as it slowly eroded and rusted to a pile of sludge. She was waiting and appalled at my abilities. The sun shone through the windows blinding me.

"Darkness will fall by my light!"

"Who do you think you are to be a judge!" I yelled at her with my cold voice. My green flames spewing from my hands as I shot them at her.

"I am princess Celestia! Ruler of Equestria!" She yelled back as she used some golden aura to deflect my flames.

"Your kingdom will be nothing! Not even Ashes!"

I flew at her grabbing her but yet.... I couldn't decay her!

"Endless life..."

"Alicorns are immortal!" Yelled Celestia

Then all I knew was that a large orb shot at me and I was consumed by it. Next thing I knew I was trapped inside it and I was... in a cell..

"Welcome to Tartarus"

I looked up and I saw some kind of red goat. Ignoring him I sat down

So easily defeated.... So easily thrown away! I will kill her... That Celestia.... She will die by my skeleton hand!

Chapter 2: Freedom is Death

I've gained some news from the world of the.... LIVING. Apparently the elements of harmony are awake and usable AGAIN. But I have a plan... All I need to do is escape. And I got my opportunity. When Cerberus, The damn mutt, went to the living world I took my chance. I grabbed a guard and snapped his neck taking his keys unlocking my cell and I flew out of Tartarus like a undead being out of hell. When I came out I was inside the mountain of canterlot? I looked around. Apparently only my spirit was trapped inside Tartarus. My BODY is trapped in a giant crystal! I couldn't move and this crystal wont erode! I can only see one thing and that is a cave with two VERY high looking guards stand before me. Their armor shimmered in the torch lit darkness. I started to whisper incantations and I smile in my mind as the two guard's eyes widen and turn black and green just like my own. They walk over and I command the one with the hammer to break me free

"Your master commands you" I tell him

"Yes master"

The horse lifts the hammer and smashes it against the crystal cracking it slightly. My body bends and melts into oil and I slip through the crack

"You are a good servant. I have use for you."

"What is that master"

I point to the other horse

"Gather any toxic and poisonous materials and bring them to the castle of the sisters in the everfree. Do not question why I do or ask how I know this. And for you my other servant..."

I then grab his neck staring into his eyes as I breath into his mouth and my body melts into his possessing him.

"I don't like flesh... But I will deal I suppose..."

I turn around and walks forward but trip instantly.

"Damn it! Im not used to a body let alone a four legged one... Why couldn't I have gotten a unicorn? Then again I don't know unicorn magic. And if I use any physical magic in this body im sure it will rot instantly. Now time to go to Ponyville to get these.... elements of harmony."

"Master the elements are located in Ponyville in Golden Oaks Library. But I say rest and gains your power while I collect the materials for your spell."

I nod as I slowly walk out but I'm blinded by the sunlight

"Damn Celestia. Damn your sunlight. And damn your eternal life. But I will torture until the end of times after I kill everything and everyone you care about."

"Master the phrase is everyPONY."

"I don't care."

"Yes master"

I sigh as I look through the mind of this pony I've possessed. Name is Starburst. What a cheeky name. Earth pony stallion. As with the other one. His species at least. No wife. No child. No marefriend. Well would you look at that. He was about to rape his little friend here. Good thing I came here. Even sex now disgust me. I mean its just two people just putting one part of themselves into the other. Most of the time at least. I mean their sweat mixes, flesh touches, sometimes blood is spilt. I hate flesh, blood, and sweat but here I am inside of flesh just to get what I want. But I have a righteous cause. If I annihilate life they'll all live forever. They all will live eternally like I... None shall rot. No more death. No more destruction.. No more life... No more anything....
I step forward and start to slowly walk forward. I walk carefully down the mountain so I wouldn't slip and fall killing my new vessel. I slowly walk into the everfree anything alive and walking avoid me.

"Hmph. Good. They sense what I am..."These beasts are actually fairly smart... Until a little bunny started hitting my leg.

"Angel bunny... " I say as I lift my hoof and I squish him under it. "Disgusting..."

I scrap off my hoof and continue walking through the forest no more animals approaching me. As I reach the castle of the two sister I notice that the bridge is out

" It will take me all day to walk around. And if I fly the body will rot... Whatever I don't care."

I prepare myself to fly but I hear a feminie voice

"Hey buddy! You need help over the bridge?"

I look up and see a rainbow haired mare staring at me with violet eyes

"Yes I do miss! I was sent here by my commander to retrieve something from the castel!" I yell back up at her as she nods

"Well if you were as awesome as me you could EASILY get over but you aren't so I guess I'll help you!"

I smile as she flies down picking me up easily and plops me down on the other side

"Thank you miss..."

"Its Rainbow Dash best flier in Equestria!"

She boasts as she flies away from the castle

"First one to be killed of the elements will be you Rainbow Dash..."

To say the least I hate her to my very dark rhythemless heart. So Cocky, So arrogant and just so idiotic! I slowly walk into the castle and start putting markings on the floor of the castles throne room

"This is where my well shall be. Right here where the sisters started their rule Where it ALL started. It will ALL end!"

I yawn as I feel sleepiness take over

"Damn flesh body..." I say as I sit in Lunas OLD throne and I sleep dreaming of the destruction yet to come. A smile comes onto my face as I dream of the death that shall ensue

"All will die by my Skeletal hand..."
