"Vinyl what in Equestria is going on?" Octavia asks looking around the room then to the monitoring equipment connected to her form. "
"You started having your visions again then you screamed and passed out. It was that Daft Ball what ever. Ever sense that gig you been having nightmares visions and sometimes you just start screaming for no reason." The white unicorn places her hoof on the Octavia's.
"No Vinyl this time was something terrible I can see something terrible is coming. I need you to go back to the arena find the figure hidden in shadows. Something very bad is going to happen to Equestria if." Octavia hisses in pain
"IT is okay Octy... I am here nothing bad is going to happen I promise." Octavia glances up into Vinyl's worried eyes.
"I hope you are right Vinyl... Celestia knows I hope you are right." A tear runs down her cheek.
Meanwhile
“This is the end of you Shadows. The time has come the lord of insanity falls and the Loc will rule all!” Realm Loc burst into a fit of laughter. The shadow entity rises to its feet. The creature gave out a mighty roar.
Shadows clung to his form as his powers return. “I call the beings of all the realms. Cast judgement on the ones who claim the name gods. Let the will and power of all realms be shown.”
“This this is not possible… Your powers your realm was locked. You can’t do this you have fallen your realm is ours. The Loc won we defeated you.” Blood tears ran down Realm’s face as The lord of insanity stand tall. The a large pillar of light shines down white wings rise from Shadows back as a sword or piercing light shines in his grasp.
“The power of the realm does not simply exist in me. But every living creature in every realm. The realm has passed judgement. The loc will fall again!!!” Realm lets out a painful cry as her whole form was encased in light
Shadows eyes open wide as he gazes around his chambers. The torches lighting the wall the bathes the Lord’s chambers in a dim dancing light. A single shadow reflects him from the wall. “My lord you seem troubled.”
Shadows looks downs at his claw then clenches it tightly as a growl escaped his clenched teeth. “It has been a million years today and I fear it is time again.” Shadows rises from the bed as in one fluid motion. His form floats across the floor as he approaches a set of stained glass doors. They open revealing the skies of burning crimson. The voices of Insanity whisper through the air. “It is time once again for DEATH BRAWL!” Shadows burst into a fit of laughter as they take to the skies each vanish as they pass through the dimensional barrier.
Turns around and re-enters the room. The shadow remains perfectly in places as it watches him closely. “Awaken my children the time has come. It is time for them to discover the power they hold over the realm.”
“Of course sire but what about you?” The shadow asks in a tone that could be distinguished as greatly concerned.
“I must gaze upon my tome once more. I got a feeling this day was written of beforehand.” The shadow turns and exits his chambers the doors slam closed behind him. Shadows appear along the corridor and bow in respect. The Lord stops and turns to face a wall. He holds out a claw as the entire inner structure shifts in his touch. A large set of double doors appear before him and fly open reveal a large library in the centre of it stood a single podium it’s purpose to hold a single book. The book flies open as he approaches words appear before the lords very eyes.
A shadow emerges into the death realm it bows then hands a small parchment to one of the reapers. Meanwhile in a darkened Castle another shadow appears before a vampire princess. The creature kneels down and presents the parchment. Clear across the realm of ponies a shadow emerges in the castle guards rush to intervene. “No I have been expecting this one.” The shadow kneels down and presents a single parchment.
Gather the warriors one and all upon the battlefield the realms will fall. The battle hold bound to fate’s chain Shadows fall and Loc rule again. Shadows closes the tome as he breathes a sigh. “No not now, not yet?”
Crowds roared as ponies gathered all around. From Saddle Arabia to Appleloosa. The arena was filling up quickly. “Here are the attendants for today.” A royal guard levitates a scroll to Maxii.
She breaks the seal as the bottom unravels and takes off across the ground as it rolls away. “Wow he must be planning something real big this time around. Lets tighten up security around the outside the arena.” Begins thumbing through the list. “Wait… Who is supposed to be fighting?”
“Greetings I am Big Scoop here to give you the Big Scoop on the event sweeping the Equestrian Nation. Since the discovery of other parallel universes the science and magic of travel has been barely touched. That was until now throughout the past couple months Equestria has seen more of these worlds than ever before. All this because of a competition that just so happen to come from another dimension. But what makes it so amazing that ponies will come from all over the world to witness it. Is it the thrill? Is it the unique creatures that participate? Perhaps it is something more here comes one now.” A tan stallion with a dark brown mane rushes up to an unfamiliar creature. “Excuse me little one do you have a minute.”
“I guess so but only a minute I will be mad if I miss dada.” The smaller creature creatures said as she gazes at the pony.
“But of course this will only take a second. Are you a combatant of the sport?” He asks with an enthusiastic smile.
“Dada said me and brother can fight but only if we think we are really ready.” She says as she turns her gaze to the sky.
“Oh I see who is your daddy is he a combatant too?” Scoop follows her gaze to the sky his eyes widen as a powerful storm circles overhead. A dark figure in the form of shadows begins to descend onto the arena.
“Come on sis we don’t want to miss this one.” A dark figure walks up next to her and takes her hand.
She smiles and nods, “Okay big brudder bye, bye nice pony.” Scoop stood stunned as the events over head continue to unfold.
“This is Big Scoop saying Equestria you are not going to want to miss this.” The pony nods to his cohorts as they take off toward the arena. The stands were packed to the point they were over crowded. Cheers and shouts echo along throughout the arena.
“Testing, testing is this thing on. One cupcake, two cupcakes… Hello Equestria!” A Pinkie shouts into the microphone. “It is here the time has come for another death brawl and I am so excited!” The crowd roared with great enthusiasm. Today’s events are so huge we could not fit them all into one match. Death Brawl warpath yeah!!!” The pink party pony smiles in reaction. “Now I would also like to introduce my announce partner Frostbite!”
“Sup?” The crowd cheers as a white and blue scaled drake waves to the audience. “Wow these things really do get a really big turn out.”
“For those who don’t know Frostbite is a registered combatant.” Pinkie pie claps her hooves together. “But I can’t help to wonder why you are here and not out there.”
Frost bite sighs and leans back in his chair. “Because the Shadow lord said I can’t take part in a match tell I fully understand it.” He places his feet on the table. “But I ain’t worried I know for a fact my time to shine is coming soon.”
“With that said let’s get things” The pink pony shouts as music begins playing.
The lights go out over the crowd leaving only the bright lights over ring as the only source of illumination. Shadows scream as the rush into the centre of the ring forming a single entity. “Equestria!” The creature roars and the ponies in the stands stomp and cheer with equal enthusiasm. “Today’s event is a special event for it is not only witness by your pony eyes but all across the realms. This is Waaaarpaaath!” The crowd cheers in response as the lights begin brighten.
Revealing a dark cloaked figure at the edge of the ring. “Oooh lookie someone new I like new things.” The Pinkie Pie says motioning to the new figure.
“I don’t know looks like a reaper to me?” Frostbite responds scratching his head.
“I have come as requested now then lord of insanity where is my opponent?” The reaper asks in as he clinches his scythe tightly. .The lord of insanity moves to opposite side of the ring. A sinister smirk on his face.
“He is right here Marcus.” Marcus gazes rises to meet the ruler of shadows. A dark sword appears in hand. The arena roars in applause as the sound of a gong echoes through the heaven.
