Gathering for Warpath

Octavia moans as her eyes slowly open. "Octy thank goodness you had me worried." Octavia turns to see her mare friend standing next to her."

"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.

Marcus vs. Darker Shadows

“Wow, I did not see that coming. Did you?” Pinkie asks with an expression of surprise and excitement.

Frostbite simply waves his claw dismissively. “Saw that coming a mile away.” He turns back the arena; I totally did not see this coming this is going to be awesome. The crowd roars and ponies stomp their hooves with excitement as the sound of the gong resonates.

A thunderous sound echoes around the arena as blades clash in the centre of the ring. “I should have known you would have something like this up your sleeve.” Marcus growls as he struggles against the entity of shadows.

“Disappointed?” Shadows form a second sword in his free hand. With a lightning fast swing, he brings the blade up, piercing the fabric. The reapers cloak drapes over the blade of the sword. “I see all. The preparation time I gave you were put to good use." He looks across the ring at Marcus. There was a slight scar across his bare chest but the damage was minimal at best. His jeans was ragged and faded, a testament to their age.

Marcus places his fingers on the scar. “Figures it was foolish of me to think I could best you by rushing head on.” A second scythe appears he reaches out and grasps it. Shadows narrow his gaze. Marcus drew back a hurled the new weapon. The blade spun through the air. The creature growls as he leans back just avoid the object.

Marcus lunges at creature the Scythe was greeted with the swords of the entity. Marcus smirked as he releases his scythe. His form blurs then vanishes. The entity growls in anger as he pivots around only to meet the blade of another scythe. The creature roars in pain. Marcus releases the scythe and vanishes once more. The art of death is fast and fluent how could I forget… His thoughts were cut off as another scythe pierces his back the tip sticking out of his chest. Shadows turns and swings the sword just missing his opponent as Marcus ducks the attack. Marcus grasps the scythe he lingering in the creature's chest. He rips the weapon free sends blood flying across the ring. Shadows step back as his opponent vanishes before him again. The creature cries out as the blade in his back was ripped free. The creature falls to its knees.

“Wow did you see how fast… I mean of course I could do that if I really wanted to.” Rainbow dash turns to her friends.

“I am not sure but I think I remember seeing something about these creatures in that big book that Shadow creature had me read. They are called reapers and they are takers of soul sin service to the entity known a Death?” Twilight scratches her head with a hoof.

“I know they can use a wardrobe change that look is simply terrible” Rarity adds motion a hoof in Marcus direction.

“Sure Rarity because when fighting for your life the first thing anypony worries about is if there wardrobe is flashy enough.” Applejack replies rolling her eyes.

“I can say you have the edge in power insanity lord. But do not underestimate the reaper core.” The creatures gaze rises to meet Marcus’

“I assure you I did no such thing. I will admit I never thought to see power come from you. But I am the type to correct my mistakes.” Marcus’ eyes widen as the shadows emerge throughout the realm. Each drawn to the entity with each the creature’s strength returns. The creature stands once more his wounds no longer bled and healed over instantly. So shall we try this just one more time?

Marcus breathed a sigh, “Fuck, I guess assuming you would die easy was too much to ask for”

The entity of shadows smirks, “Open and consume shadow gates.” Suddenly the ground below Marcus’ ripples and slowly begins to drag him down. Marcus shouts as he suddenly falls from the sky. Striking the ground like a falling satellite. The reaper groans as he slowly recovers to his feet. A large shadow instantly blocks out the sun. “Welcome to a realm of infinite shadows.”

Marcus gawks at the colossal entity as his form take up the sky above. “You gotta be shitting me.”

“Not yet,” The Entity draws back, “Universal shatter…” He turns and delivers a fierce punch into the sun. A large explosion spreads throughout the dimension. Marcus cries out as his entire form was engulfed in flames as the planet crumbles below him.

“What is going on here…? Anypony see which way they went?” Pinkie asks hopelessly scanning the ring. For the combatants that seemed to be swallowed up by the ground.

Frostbite watches silently but his mind was anything but. Oh this is going to be so awesome come on, COME ON!!!”

A loud explosion fills the sky as Marcus strikes the rings from the heavens above. His body burnt terrible deep large wounds seared open. “What the fuck?” He turns his gaze to the right as the entity of shadows rises from the ground.

“Do you wish to submit reaper?” Marcus rolls to his stomach and through each painstaking motion finally found his feet once more.

“Actually I think the fun is just about to begin” A dark sinister smirk forms on his face his eyes glow a bright red.

The entity of shadows chuckles slightly, “Oh really well then let’s see what else you got reaper.”

He summons his scythe into the realm. “Death Wish coming right up!” He shouts as he lunges forward.

Twenty minutes ago

“Vinyl, Vinyl…” Octavia shouts grasping her head in pain. Vinyl quickly rushes from the chair to her side.

“What is it Octy…?” She asks while resting a hoof against Octavia’s side.

“I can see it... The end… The end will come, it will come and the world will witness its might.” She grasps her head as images and sounds rush through her mind. “They have to know it is not a about horror and pride. There is more this time the everything... Equestria is burning, IT IS BURNING!” She shouts before finally falling back against her pillow. A doctor and two nurses quickly gallop into the room. “Vinyl please find the one cloaked in shadows. Warn them all.”

Vinyl watches the land pass as the train continues on route to Canterlot. “Octavia what are we supposed to do about it. This is all becoming one really messed up gig.”

The crowd gasp as the echoing clash of steel sounds throughout the arena. “So tell me demon is you feeling so high and mighty at this moment...” He pushes Marcus back the scythe meets sword as spark sent flying from the clash.

“Reaver Claw!” Marcus fingertips glow bright white.

“Bare Knuckle” The shadow entity drew back and threw a powerful punch.

Marcus’ claws pieces the chest slice clean through muscle, bone and organs like a hot knife through butter. Marcus’ efforts were short lived as suddenly blood gushed from his mouth and nose. His fist planted firm against the core of his torso. His ribcage shattered to hell as stomach and other vital organs rupture. Shadows stumbles back holding his claw over the large open wound straight through his chest. A hole clear through his form the size of a fist remained. Marcus struggles to see straight as more blood gushed from his form. His body felt as though he swallowed an active hand grenade.

Shadows grasps at his heart, “No not yet it is not the right time.” He falls to one knee his blades fade from the realm.

Marcus gaze rises as he struggles to see straight “You sorry bastard.” He suddenly clenches his stomach as more pain rises. Stomach was burst spew acid all devouring him inside out. “Takes a painful step forward then another.” He groans in agony as every second was more painful than the last. “You know the real fucking bummer about being death locked. Shit still fuck hur-” Blood spewed from his mouth along with bits of his stomach. He gasps for air as a scythe forms in his grip. “I will say this much oh lord of insanity.” He mocked before spitting up so more blood. “You sure gave me hell.” He raises the blade high.

The Ponies in the stands gasp in shock at what looked to be the final moment. The space between them begins to ripple as the blade comes down. A large explosion sent both combatants flying through the air striking the walls on opposite sides of the arena. A dark figure stands in the centre of the ring. His black armour shimmers in the light. His eyes burning red.

The ponies gasp, “It can’t be I thought there was no returning from this kind of competition.” Rainbow Dash gawks in stun surprise.

“Hey how did mister mean meanie pants get here?” Pinkie asks turning to Frostbite who growls as his claws begin digging into the table.

“Lord Khaos this can’t be good… If he is back then that means something in the realms must be out of whack.” Frostbite eyes widen as the Lord Khaos releases a mighty roar which shook the whole arena. Shadows crawl past him and emerge to the shadow entity. The Shadow Lord rises once more. Lord Khaos there gaze meets as the air in the arena begins to heat up.

“Shadows…” Lord Khaos growls as the Darker Shadows makes his way back to the ring. His earlier injuries still slowly healing. The two entities stood facing one another as a loud gong rings through the heavens.
