Knocking on Death's Door
Who dun it?
Previous ChapterDeath
It appears that poor Celestia thinks that she can confront me, maybe she has gotten more powerful over the years, but I doubt that even if she is more powerful than me.
The pony and Necro ran around grabbing items that emanated slight scents of death and placing them inside of a small cubby hole, where a pony on the other side would retrieve the things and take them into a tunnel. I wonder how they came upon these artifacts? Necro approached Death, and whispered to him, "You should probably go, we wont want Celestia coming into the heart of our group. No offense of course, we are graced by your presence. Well, I am, but he," he gestured to the other pony," will too when he finds out who you are."
"I appreciate your... Devotion to me. It will be rewarded." Death then bows his head and says, "I must leave. I will see you ponies again." And then Death walked out the door.
Upon emerging outside he was greeted by the bright light of Celestia's sun. Today would be an inconvenient day to fight Celestia. The middle of summer and on such a bright day. Unlike most people with common sense would do ( I did it alot) Death stared directly into the sun, but then again he doesn't have eyes. He said almost seemingly to no one to the passerby, "We will meet soon Celestia, but not today." He walked past a nearby tree, and he never showed up on the other side.
He had walked into a third dimension. The two that we know of is life, and death, but he had gone to a third. This third dimension was a world of the soul, where only the subconscious of the average pony could be. So with Death in it, whenever he passed a pony, they would shiver, due to their subconscious noticing him, and acknowledging the danger. He walked around, scoping the battlefield without Celestia discovering his presence . He had all the time he wanted to learn and plan his fight with Celestia.
"Hmm ... these pony souls are much more... innocent. Celestia you devil, you have turned these pony into HIPPIES! And speak of the devil." As he said this, Celestia arrived by carriage near the center of Ponyville, and Twilight Sparkle rushed out of nowhere and started bowing to Celestia as did the the ponies nearby. Wow, she has them whipped. Death looked at Twilight and thought, She has the power to overthrow Celestia if only she had a way to harness it. I will have to watch this one carefully, she might be the one to end her reign. Death approaches them, getting close enough to listen, which happened to be behind Twilight, near a ground of Royal Guards.
Twilight rose up from her bowing position and spoke to the princess, "Princess!"
The Princess looked down at Twilight and smiled at her. "Hello Twilight. As much as I would enjoy catching up with you," her face turning serious," we have a 'pony' to find."
"Of course Princess." Twilight looking down trodden.
"I apologize Twilight, it was not my intention to hurt your feelings, but we must hurry. Every second we waste is a second he has to escape. Heh, if only you knew that I won't run. A group of Royal Guards near Death started to glance around sensing Deaths presence. Death walks up to one of them and chuckles to himself as he puts his hoof into the soul of the pony, and watches him fight the urge to collapse. The guards near him did nothing, paying attention to Celestia and Twilight as they start to walk away with other groups of guards following, so the groups follows, while the one with a hoof in his soul looked over with a silent cry for help, before he turned to dust and was absorbed into Death. Death took a deep breath, looking slightly more lively than before, The ponies that saw the guard did not do anything, because Death removed him from everyone's memories. Death made sure that the pony did not have any significance in the present or future, so that the world would not collapse and there would not be any complications with children or wives.
Twilight
I cant help this feeling that something is watching me. The entire time I was speaking to Celestia, I felt a presence watching over my shoulder. I hope Celestia can find Chrono before he causes harm to somepony. Twilight and Celestia keep walking along, while Celestia starts to charge a spell that can track Death. It starts to make a path appear a couple feet (hooves?) infront of them, and Celestia follows it. Twilight, being the egghead that she is follows while thinking about the way that the spell was made and how she can recreate it. She kept thinking of many ways, such as the blood of a virgin ( I had to put that in there) when she suddenly bumped into Celestia, who was pondering why the trail stopped. It just reached a tree near a park, and then stopped.
"This makes no sense, this spell is used to track supernatural beings, Death should be no different..." Celestia kept thinking through the spell, wondering if maybe she cast it wrong, but she knew she did it right, which left only one possibility left. "He changed dimesions."
Twilight, looking quite confused, said, "What?"
"He changed dimensions. He is not in this plane." Celestia racked her brain, trying to find a spell to help her find him.
Death
Hmm... She has gotten smarter. Good, I like a challenge. Maybe I can tease her a bit. He reached forward, and carved on the tree, 'Boo'. And while Celestia was thinking, Twilight noticed it and pointed it out to Celestia, and she just glanced at it, and then quickly fire up an orb around her, that quickly expanded outward, until it reached Death, revealing him. Death, feeling playful, changed shape into a cake, which as everypony knows (but doesn't say) Celestia loves her cake.
Upon seeing the cake, she started to drool, and then Death lost it, and turned back into his pony form, and laughed his ass off. He laughed until Celestia used her magic to pin him to the ground, and all the while Twilight was thinking how Celestia did her latest spell,
and so she was surprised when she broke out of her stupor and saw Death on the ground with a grin plastered on his face while Celestia growled at him.
"Well Celley, looks like you caught me. Now what, are you going to pelt me with happiness?" Death shows his deathly white teeth, and tried to look innocent while trying to hold back a grin. Celestia just glares at him and increases the pressure on him. "Well if you want to play it rough, then maybe you should choose someone around your level of power, like Twilight. Right now, you are playing with... Fire." Suddenly Celestia was blasted back into a tree with so much force, the tree cracked, and her coat was covered with burns. "What, did you expect me to lie down once you caught me? I am not one of your pathetic ponies. I unlike every other pony, do not see you as a god, I see you as a child, chasing dreams of peace. You can't do anything to me." Celestia looked at me with hurt eyes. "I just wanted to be with her, but you had to let her change. You ruined her life, and in turn, mine."
"I did not change Luna, she changed on her own, and because of you, she will not do anything but mope, so to keep her safe, I will do whatever I can to keep you away from her. You caused her pain by not being around for her return, so now she thinks you are dead, and seeing you will just remind her of her past. You will stay away from her." All the while Celestia was trying to nurse her wounds and stop Twilight from healing her.
"She is free? Well then, I will get to her. Nothing you do will stop me, because I am more powerful." He stared Celestia down, until he saw her horn glow, and him getting knocked back. "*sigh* God damn sun." And then he got blasted again. He was repeatedly blasted, slowly losing his flesh, until all that was left was his bones. And even then, screams of pain were still released.
Twilight
Twilight watched it all unfold in front of her until his flesh started to fall off. At that point, she felt her legs tremble. She looked at Celestia who had her mane and tail losing color, along with sweat falling along her face. It was a sight for Twilight, to see her mentor being strained so much. She was not even that strained when she fought Chrysalis. Twilight felt her stomach seize, and then she turned around and let loose the puke.
No One Specific Pony
Ponies began to gather round, watching the commotion, seeing their merciful Princess disintegrate a pony in front of their eyes. They all began to fear her, and they all heard the screams of the poor pony that was behind the blasts. It launched a large pillar of light into the air, almost as though the sun itself was helping blast the pony, which considering that she is a sun princess is entirely possible.
No pony seemed to notice a black chariot flying closer to the commotion. It slowly approached with bat ponies pulling it, and even though the bat ponies were trying to hide it, the blood-curdling screams were making them shiver in fear.
When the chariot lands, a voice yells out, "TIA! WHAT ART THOU DOING!!!
Author's Note
Hello everypony, its good to be writing again, and sorry for the delay, life got in the way. So chapters should be coming a lot more often now, but I will not set a deadline because that would involve my working until then. Anyway, if there is a little ooc in here, its probably because I haven't watched much mlp since my last chapter. Also I would like to thank Grim Reaper for bringing me back to writing, so if all of you could thank him, I would be grateful, because the thanks I gave him will probably never be enough. If you find any mistakes, sorry, I wrote this on a kindle fire, and also from midnight to 2 in the morning. Lastly I would like to thank everyone who has read my story and stayed loyal. I love all of you, see you when I do.
