Now you might be thinking, why in all of the universes Death seems so...childlike?

Because he's bored while on vacation that's why.

Right now Delmar is running in the halls of Canterlot castle trying to avoid being blasted in the tooshie by a very purple Princess Luna, because red plus blue equals purple. In the simplest terms, she was angry. Very angry.

Luna liked spicy food, but not when it has been tainted by the Devil's crotch. She began to use words so profound not even Celestia would utter. Or she would if her mouth was alit.

Which Luna's was, in case you forgot.

"I SWEAR BY MY PARENTS GRAVE YOU WILL BURN IN TARTARUS FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!" Luna used the Canterlot voice to make sure Delmar heard her clearly, to which he responded...

"Burn like your mouth!?"

This only poked the angry Luna, who by now was literally blasting magic missiles in Delmar's general direction, cracking the hard ornate walls of the castle, leaving black wasted rage in her wake.

Delmar still had pepper juice in his bony hands by the way.

He got an idea, an awful, crude and maybe a little mean idea.

Delmar stopped on heel, quickly turned around, and shoved his hand into Luna's nose. Who ran straight into his hand nose first. Since she was running, she breathed in a good amount.

Enough to make her pass out from shock and from a coughing fit. Or so Delmar wanted.

Instead, Luna grabbed his hand and snorted the rest of the pepper juices. Delmar was stunned, and for the first time in his long life, a little uneasy.

Mildly uneasy....

Ok very uneasy.

She looked at him, with watery pink eyes and a crazy grin.

"WHERE IS YOUR WEAPON NOW FIEND!?" She shouted once again.

She grabbed him and pulled him down with her own weight, not magic. She flipped Delmar and she magically levitated something behined her.

The plate of spicy eggs.

Delmar immediately tried to apologize, but Luna wasn't having it.

"L-look you have to admit it was pretty funny with your face gasping for air-"

"Shhh...it's ok. I understand." That was a lie.

"R-really?" Delmar...please don't.

"Oh yes, I forgive you. On one condition..." Oh boy here we go.

"Y-yes?" Delmar you are a fucking fool and a half.

"Shove the rest of the eggs in your nose..." Luna had a grin the could cleanly slice steel, and leave no marks.

Delmar gulped, and took the plate in his hands. Luna waited with her horn at the ready in case Delmar decided to bolt.

He could just fake it, he can do that. But...it wouldn't be fair.

He needed to do this, it was obligated. To prove he wasn't a TOTAL ass.

"Well...down the hatch!" And Delmar could swear, he saw more colors than he would have wanted. His nose literally screamed in agony from the sudden rush of pain and misery.

He smelled hell, and not Hell, but hell in a horrible, multi-retarded sense. It makes sense on paper.

Both Delmar and Luna ended up on the ground, coughing and crying from the pain.

Delmar, having just literally shoved hell in his nose, and Luna, losing her crazed state, accidentally breathed in the spices as she was passing them to Delmar.

For once, Delmar actually believed God was dead.

Celestia gave the scene a wide birth, not wanting to ingest the wild spices that has claimed her sister and who Luna called Death.

If not even Death was safe from this pepper, it must be extreme.

She sighed as both Luna and Delmar passed out, from exhaustion not pain. She used her magic and dragged both of them to her own chambers to rest. Maybe she would make them both something to calm them both.

Or not, she could play her own prank.

No...I would rather not face Luna in such a state ever again. She dismissed the chaotic future she was about to unleash and opened her chamber door.

Celestia admitted them both to the large bed that was her own, not really caring that they both were in such a close proximity in the bed.

They will be out for a while.

Celestia decided to let them rest and not wait for them to wake up, looks like finding out what Death is doing here will have to wait.

If his reason is to torment Lulu, I might let him just out of spite. Celestia smiled as she left the room. Gods she wished that was the case.

However, the fight was far from over. Being the Princess of Dreams, and the Lord of Death being a force of time and space itself, the fight would not only continue...

But would clash in the Dream Realm.

The space around her was just stars, planets, and distant galaxies she has never seen before. It would be pretty if not for the fact not thirty or so hoofsteps in front of her was him, her target, her enemy.

Death.

The stage was set, this was not one dream, but two combined in a vice. This was Destiny for both of them.

All that mattered now is who would break first.

That would be Luna, clad in her royal battle armor she donned herself for this occasion. However, Delmar was in his own battle regalia.

Black metal covered his once wool coat, a sword of red energy was in his right hand. His face was stone, and had the expression of determination, and rage.

Luna herself, had the same expression.

Not even the rings of Saturn could compare in the beauty that was battle.

Luna rushed Delmar, using magic and her flight to send him flying in the space. The sound that was made was deafening, force against gravity within a dream.

This changed the space into a nebula of red and various shades of pink, representing the rage both Death and Luna have built up. It was time for a counter attack, and Luna wasn't prepared.

Using his sword, the force was so great behined Delmar's blow that Luna couldn't dream up a counter, and crashed into a nearby moon.

Adding insult to injury.

The blade glowed and dimmed slightly, almost like it was laughing at Luna's despair.

She had enough.

Luna, charging her horn, blasted a beam of pure magic at Delmar, causing a recoil in surprise, but was blacked by his own magical beam from his hand.

The colors of Destiny, Red and Blue once again meet in a cataclysmic environment.

Both energies slammed into each other with enough energy to make the Tsar Bomba look like a joke, and make a supernova look like a firework in comparison to this explosion of hate.

Both of the players representing what they are, why they are representing those ideals, and what they are fighting for, stared at one another for a brief moment. Assessing the opponent was key in a fight.

Both were wrecked, but stood tall. Luna's horn was scratched and chipped in various places. And Delmar's sword was cracked in the middle, and his skull showed a small indent just above his eye.

All this, because of a pepper.

Delmar and Luna bolted at each other, using magic, force, whatever they could to cause as much damage to each other as much as possible. What resulted, was something that not even God would want.

The Reverse Big Bang.

Celestia felt a chill in her spine, she shook and scratched her head.

Her day court looked at her quizzically.

"Hm? Oh nothing is wrong folks. Now what was the problem?"

"He stole my golf ball!"

"No! You stole MY golf ball!"

Celestia smiled as her eyebrow twitched slightly.

"So the United States was a conglomerate of technically countries that united under one banner?" Luna was sitting on an asteroid with Delmar, both having finally calmed down after they both knocked each other out. Delmar showed her the Milky Way as he remembered it, and showed her Earth and the history of great empires and society's from his perspective as a distraction from both of their injuries.

Both bleeding from the nose ironically.

"Indeed, they were another powerful nation in history that can be compared to the Romans, in fact many of the laws and ideas were inspired by the Romans for the United States and other countries. It's to bad they decided to abandon the Democratic and Republic ideals and turned to Imperialism. They took Canada and Greenland, several islands, renamed themselves the American Order, and basically made an automaton society."

"Sounds depressing for the citizens..." Luna commented while staring at Saturn.

"It is, I still laugh at the idea that there are over two-hundred countries on that small, insignificant planet. It pales in comparison to the other planets with society's. One of those planet's inhabitants completely abandoned religion and focused on science, using the sun PHYSICALLY for energy." Delmar switched from the Humans Solar System to the Kaparies system of Gerdolia, and Luna saw the unimaginably huge mechanism surrounding the massive star.

"How..." Luna asked, in awe with her mouth agape.

"Intelligence to me is annoying, making killing things that need to be killed a chore. But it can also lead to great, incredibly creative feats. Such as this mechanism developed by the Kaparies's."

Luna watched the mechanism harness the sun, the glow almost unnatural as she saw the suns beam of energy bounce around the giant metal contraption.

"Magic in my dimension doesn't exist in a harness-able form, so many of these planet's rely on intelligence."

Luna looked away from the mechanism "Wait, if this dimension relies so heavily on intelligence so much, shouldn't the Humans have peace?"

Switching back to Earth, Luna and Delmar could see all the wars play out at once, in every single country throughout their histories.

Every single one...

"Why do they kill so much? Shouldn't they have realized by now that fighting each other will only lead to their own deaths? Why are they always fighting?"

Delmar had actually no answer, as he never orchestrated the Humans lives, he only ended them. But it was a question he would need to ask Silica, once she contacted him of course.

"I...I don't know. It isn't the Humans either that are so violent. Throughout this universe in my dimension there is always violence. Remember the Kaparies? They conquered six planets just for living space, killing entire civilizations for their own selfish needs. Peace seems like a vague term, and a poor option among this dimension."

Now she knew, now she knew the reason. Death was on vacation not because of boredom, but because to get away from all the stress and depression of being Death. There is so much here...

This is how it will be in Delmar's dimension, she surmised.

Delmar looked down for a moment, but quickly shot up with renewed optimism.

"Hey, it's not all bad here though! Some Humans, Kaparies, whatever, are actually decent to be around. Some are funny and so on. Here let me show you a memory."

And the scene changed as Luna watched.

It was a park, and two male humans are walking a dog within the vicinity of an old female human.

Or at least she thought the human was a she, and old, but was proven wrong when she jumped up and screamed "I'm having a baby! Get the doctor!" Both male humans and dog stopped to witness water dripping from her crotch, and a bloody human popped out like it was dead. And started chasing after the dog and humans.

All in all, it was pretty funny, although a little gross.

Luna found herself laughing.

"Humans are so weird and dumb, but at least some are enjoying their lives." Luna commented as she was holding back another laugh.

Delmar looked at the Milky Way again with Luna, both stayed very quiet for an uncomfortable amount of time.

"Hey Luna, I want to apologize for making you snort my special pepper. I thought it would be funny, and you have to admit, watching you squirm was the best damn thing I have seen for a very long time."

Luna wanted to punch him right then and there, but she withhold herself, and looked at the big picture of what he was saying.

Luna smiled "I also would like to apologize for making you snort the eggs you spiced. But again, I can relate to your joy of watching things squirm."

Both looked at each other and laughed. Returning to that silence, but much less awkward.

"Hey Luna, would you like to listen to human music?"

Luna looked at Delmar with some suspicion, but took note he didn't have anything to humiliate her.

"What kind of music?"

Looking through his mind, he came across an album that had a beetle on the front with the words Journey on the front. Several songs were on this album, but it was their best apparently by human standards. Not really paying attention to which one he was picking, he played spin wheel and his choice fell.

Delmar closed his eyes and the song played.

The scene changed again, and Luna listened with glee, as the unknown music danced in her ears.

She loved it. The slow melody, and the sweet voices that sang for her.

They both stared into the distance, watching planets and distant stars twinkle. Luna couldn't have imagined something so astoundingly more beautiful than this. All the colors and vastness of wonder flooded her mind with the music. She was finally at peace, and she had the Lord of Death to thank for it.

Speaking of which...

"Hey Delmar..." She said softly.

Delmar opened his eyes, somehow, and looked at her while listening to the music playing around them.

"Would you like to be friends?"
