The Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper was siting on his throne of skulls as he watched the colorful ponies prance in joy and happiness. There was no longer any unnatural death in Equestria. This sickened The Grim Reaper. He wanted there damned harmony to end.

When discord reformed, he lost his murderous side of him, the only thing keeping the barrier from being breached by Death.

If the creator did not put up this barrier, Equestria would have been a wasteland with no life. Discord was the main evil of the world of ponies, so the creator did not think it was appropriate to send The Grim Reaper to Equestria. Now that Discord is reformed, there is not enough evil in the world of ponies to be balanced out.

The Grim Reaper is waiting for the creator to tell him to enter the world of ponies, which, he would happily do. He was starting to grow impatient, as he watched the ponies of Equestia go about there everyday duties. This reminded Death that he needs to attend to the souls of the dead.

The Grim Reaper rose from his throne, and walked over to a door that had skulls embedded into the stone the door was made of. As he opened it, the moans of the dead could be herd. Each step he took inside of this chamber were silent. The dead were floating around him, begging to be put back in the mortal world, but Death ignored them as he walked towards a alter made entirely of bone.

The alter was stationed in the middle of a island that was connected with a path of jagged stone. Surrounding the path and island, was a bottomless cavern. Souls of the dead were rising out of the cavern, yelling pleads to be let free, to go back to there mortal life.

The Grim Reaper walked up to the alter and placed a skeleton hand on it. As soon as his hand touched the alter, his mind was flooded with the knowledge of the most recently dead souls. He separated the bad from the good, sending the bad to his domain, and the good to the land above, or heaven.

" Death, you are needed in a new land, go now and bring balance to the world of Equestria." Stated a extremely deep, male voice. If The Grim Reaper had a mouth, he would be smiling.

The Grim Reaper started his walk back to the door and opened it, only to seal it when he was on the other side. He walked over to his throne, and grabbed his scythe. He put the tip of the blade to the floor of stone, and dragged it across the ground. As the impossibly sharp blade was drug across the floor, it opened up a portal that emitted purple sparks of electricity.

The Grim Reaper stuck his blade into the closed portal, and pulled, opening the portal. He stepped onto the portal, only to start slowly sinking into the ground to enter Equestria...

} Canterlot {

Celestia was doing her normal evening paper work, before snapping her head towards her window, for she had just felt a massive amount of black magic coming from a mountain, parallel to Canterlot. She got out of her seat and trotted towards her open window to look out over the land.

Obviously, Luna had felt it too, because she landed by her sister and spoke, " Sister, did you feel that too?" Celestia nodded her head and keep staring at the mountain, because whatever made that serge of dark power, was much stronger than Somba's dark magic. " Sister, should we call for the elements?" Luna asked, while keeping her eyes on the mountain.

" No, we do not know what this possible threat is." Luna nodded her head and keep staring at the mountain in wonder and worry. " We should send out a scouting party to see what we are dealing with. It could help our cause in the long run."

" If you think that is best, then I will alert the night guard to send a scouting party." With that, Luna spread her wings, and took to the sky.

} Ponyvill {

Discord was currently relaxing on a cloud of cotton candy, thinking about the next prank he should pull. That's when he felt a huge surge of black magic coming from a mountain in the south.

" What the?" Is all he could say as his old mind tried to think of a cause this surge of magic. " I bet old sun and moon butt know what's going on." Discord left in a flash of light...

} The mountain {

The Grim Reaper rose from the portal in the ground to find himself outside a cave. He could hear snoring from inside the cave as he looked out over the world of Equestria. From the mountain he could see a small town with a massive forest beside it. He could also see a castle on the side of a mountain.

He knew of the place he was looking down at was down at was ponyvill, a small town with around 500 ponies living there. The Forest beside the small town was the Everfree Forest.

The castle on the mountain was Canterlot. Canterlot was the home of Equestria's rulers, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. It was also the capital of Equestria.

He herd the snoring turned to yawning to gaging. " What is that smell!" A deep voice shouted. The Grim Reaper knew what the smell was, it was him. He smelt like decaying flesh that been in the sun for weeks on end.

Very loud stomps were sounding behind Death, as a dragon exited the cave. When the dragon laid eyes on a hooded figure with skeleton wings, he growled the shouted, " Who are you and how dare you enter my domain!" The Grim Reaper slowly turned towards the angered dragon.

In a voice that sounded like the wind, The Grim Reaper said, " Death" His voice seemed to echo as he replied. The dragon just chuckled and took a deep breath, and shot fire towards The Grim Reaper. Death held out his boney palm, deflecting the fire off of it. A cloud of smoke was all that separated the dragon from Death.

When the smoke cleared, the dragon looked in surprise to see a unharmed, hooded figure holding his palm outwards. " Fire resistant? I will have to crush you then!" the dragon roared. The dragon lifted his paw into the air, and brought it down, trying to crush The Grim Reaper.

He was surprised to find his paw hit nothing but ground, but his confusion turned to pain when he felt a blade enter the back of his neck. He Roared in pain as Death started to drag his scythe down his neck. When The Grim Reaper reached the base of his neck, the dragon spread his wings and took to the sky.

The dragon keep twisting and turning, trying to throw of The Grim Reaper. Death eventually jumped off and flapped his wings, taking flight as well. When the dragon felt the blade exit, he started to look around for the hooded figure, only to stop when he saw his foe flying a few feet in front of him.

The Dragon roared, and tried to bite his foe, only to have a bony fist smash into his snout, making him fly backwards a few meters. The dragon realized he could not win this fight, so he turned around and started to fly away.

Death was not going to let this beast get away, so he flew onto the back of dragon, at the base of his wings. He lifted his scythe, and swung, severing the wings of the dragon.

The dragon roared in pain as it plummeted towards the town of ponyvill...

Ponyvill Terror

Twilight woke to the sound of a dragon's roar. " What?" Twilight said. She looked over to Spicks bed. She saw that he was still sleeping. She chose to see what this roaring is. She grabbed her robe and went out of the door. When the door was completely open she saw a group of ponies looking at the sky.

She herd the group of ponies shout things like " A Dragon?" and " What's going on?". Twilight looked up to see a dragon flapping its wings. The dragon was twisting and turning like it was trying to throw something off.

When the dragon stopped twisting something flew off of its back. All Twilight could make out was that whatever jumped off of the dragon was flying. If it was not for it being in front of the moon, she would not be able to see it.

" That pony got some guts!", a rainbow pony yelled. Rainbow Dash was flying above, the now larger, Group of ponies. She looked wide awake. Which meant she was fairly exited about the battle between dragon and pony.

Suddenly, there was a sickening cracking sound coming from the flying dragon. When Twilight looked back at the dragon, she saw the most bizarre thing. The dragons was forceful pushed backwards by the flying pony.

The dragon turned away, only to have the flying pony land on its back. The dragon let out a ear pounding roar as it stated to fall from the sky. This made Twilight and the rest of the ponies confused. They were confused until they saw blood spraying from the back of the dragon. They were all about to vomit when the saw the severed wings of the dragon.

All the ponies started to scream, because the dragon was heading strait for Ponyvill...

} Dragon's Back {

Death stayed on the dragon's back as it fell towards, the now, panic stricken town. As the dragon neared the ground the screams of panic could be herd. Death loved there screams, for he was The Grim Reaper, Bringer of Death.

When the dragon hit the ground a massive shockwave shock the small town. Blood showered over the town and Death. In the dragon's fall he crushed several buildings and ponies. The dragon was wailing in pain as it laid in the dirt, crushed buildings and ponies.

Death spread his wings and took flight, only to land in front of the dragons face. The dragon started to shake in fear as it started to beg for mercy, which, The Grim Reaper had no plan in showing. He herd the gasps of ponies all around him as he looked into the dragons eyes.

Death gripped the bottom of the dragon's chin and lifted upwards. The dragon was sent flying meters into the air as The Grim Reaper activated his wings, and flew up to the dragon's lower chest. He spun around and cut two deep, long gashes into the dragons chest making a X.

Death reared back his scythe and through it, spinning, at the X. His weapon entered the dragon's lower chest. The dragon fell back to the ground with a thud while going limp. The Grim Reaper landed in front of the dead dragon. A lavender pony was about to approach him, but his scythe came bursting from the dragon's back.

The Grim Reaper held up a hand, catching the bloodless scythe.  He slowly turned his body towards the lavender pony. When he was completely facing the pony he herd a loud voice yell " HALT".

Death slowly turned his head to meet the sight of a guard covered in golden armor. Behind him were two ponies taller then any other pony in the town. One had multi-color mane and was white with a picture of the sun on her flank. She stood about five and half feet.

The other was shorter than the white one. She had a dark blue coat with a mane that had the look of the night sky. She was around five foot.

The rulers of Equestria. Princess Luna and Celestia.

" Twilight." said the tallest one, " who is this, and why is there a dead dragon in Ponyvill?" Twilight was trying to come up with a answer, but ultimately failed. She just shrugged her shoulders. " Creature" She started " who are you, and did you kill this dragon?" The Grim Reaper stood there like a statue as he stared at the pony in front of him.

Eventually, he shook his head yes, and said " I am Death" In a wind like voice. When he said his name the heat sunk like a rock, thus making the ponies shiver in coldness. He suddenly swung his scythe, and decapitated a guard. All the ponies shrieked in fear as the ponies head rolled with the expression of fear stuck on his lifeless face.

The guards charged after the hooded killer. Death, faster than anyone could see, charged towards the guards and started to hack and slash at them. At this point, all of the ponies were running away in fear as Death dispatched the guards with ease.

Suddenly, a yellow beam of magic hit him and making him off balance. A guard bucked the 7 foot figure and managed to send his few feet back. Death landed on his back with a thud. The Grim Reaper stood back up slowly and looked at the guard that had bucked him. Death shot at the guard in the form of a shadow as fast as a lightning bolt.

When Death was inches from touching him, he spun around and impaled the guard with his scythe. Death flipped the guard over his head and smashed him into the ground.

He turned his attention back to the rest of the guards. He shot towards the guards as a shadow and decapitated them as he passed. He could feel the power of a powerful, harmonic energy.

Before he knew what was going on, he was blasted with a colorful bolt of magic. He was sent flying towards a building, and crashed into it. Death was in pain. He had never felt pain before, for nothing could ever hurt him. Rage soon took place of the pain as he pulled himself out of the destroyed building.

6 ponies were all celebrating thinking that the blast of magic had defeated him. He was being surrounded by a black glow of black magic. The cold got even worse as the glow brightened. Suddenly, the tallest pony, Princess Celestia, turned towards the glowing figure of Death.

In a flash of dark energy all of the dead surrounding the Princesses started to reform. All the ponies in the surrounding area backed away as the dead ponies rose. The reanimated bodies of the guards and dragon rose with bright glowing, black eyes.

The reanimated guards picked up there weapons and charged towards the alive guards, while letting out a war cry. The alive guards did the same and charged at the reanimated guards.

The dragon flew up and landed on the breathing guards, crushing them under its weight. The dragon breathed in deep and shot fire at the alive guards. The fire burned the guards down to the bone in seconds.

Death was happy that so much death was be caused by him. He looked over to eight shell shocked ponies. Two being Equestria's rulers, and the others being the Elements of Harmony. None of his minions were attacking the ponies, so he would have to take care of it himself.

Death started two walk towards the ponies. Both Princesses got into a defensive stance and started to glow. Celestia was glowing a golden color, while Luna was glowing a dark blue color. " YOU WILL NOT HURT MY SUBJECTS!" Celestia said while using her royal voice. With that, Death shot towards the rulers as a shadow.

Death was right in front of the Princesses that now had magic flowing off of there eyes. Death spun, swinging his scythe towards the rulers, only for them to jump away. Death was hit by powerful rays of magic. The magic hurt, but only made him take a step back. When the magic ended he shot towards the heavily breathing princesses.

He smashed his fist into the muzzle of Luna, and then turned and swung his scythe at Celestia. Celestia dodged the scythe, but not with out earning a gash on her cheek. Death turned and swung his scythe at Luna, who was still recovering from deaths fist. He severed Luna's horn when she tried to duck in her dazed state.

Luna instantly passed out. Death turned his attention to a angered Celestia. " HOW DARE YOU HARM MY SISTER!", Celestia shot towards Death like a speeding meteor. She crashed into him and keep carrying him towards a building. Before they reached the building Death let out a burst of magic. This burst of magic pushed Celestia back several feet.

Death landed on the ground, as did Celestia. The Grim Reaper sprang towards the princess at high speeds. Death started to swing his scythe rapidly. Celestia was dodging each swing, but was draining quickly.

Death had to give her credit. She was the only being capable of fighting Death this long. Well, other then the creator of course. As Celestia's last reserves of energy were depleting she shot towards he sister and the still shocked Elements of Harmony. With her last bit of energy she teleported her sister, The Elements of Harmony, and herself to a different location.

Death was not surprised of her actions. He was still a little angry they got away, though. He looked towards the fight between his minions and the rest of the royal guard. He saw that the last guard was being crushed to death by his undead dragon. When the stallion being held by the dragon stopped squirming, the dragon let the lifeless body fall to the ground.

Knowing he no longer needed his minions, Death waved his hand. The made all his undead soldiers, and dragon, slump to the ground, dead. 'I need to find those ponies and kill them, for the have escaped death.'.

With that, Death spread his wings and flew off to his new cave in the mountain...
