Death was all that the kings, Queens, Princesses and Prince's see at the northern mountains. Army's of ponys, griffons, dragons etc laid on the battle field. Lifeless, the army that was left were breathing and beaten heavily while the pony wizards all tried there best to heal as many injured as they could. "Princesses Celeista, more than 70% of our army has been whipped out from the last attack! We will not survive another attack. Even with the aid of the other kingdoms!" yelled the second in command of the royal guard. The Princesses of the sun looked at the commander as she stared with a feared expression, trying her best to look brave for her men and women. The anthro pony than reached for her side grabbing the rode of her sword and unleashed it as she aimed it up as it shined in the sun. "Do not fear! Do not surrender! We shall not fail! We are rulers of Equestria and we will no matter what! Protect our home!" Celeista yelled as the army's that had gathered cheered as they all yelled in agreement. While the Kings and Queens spoke amongst each other about the battle ahead. "We risk our life's and the life's of our army now and we shall fall sooner! I say we fall back and gather more allies." The prince of the panther kingdom said while he looked among the others. "If we go with that plan, what's not to say that our foe will do the same huh?" questioned Queen Chrysalis of the changeling hive. "Razor must agree with bug queen! Razor say we stay and fight evil human!" King Razor the third roared of the diamond dog kingdom, as his claws dug into the table. "We must make a discussion now, before our foe shows its self. So far our choice are either falling back to fight another day or fighting to our last breath." said a prince of the new formed kingdom of humans as roars came from the battle yield in front of them. Demons had arrived, but this were no normal demons, they were demons with powers of gods and nature itself. Many of this demons had taken the life's of many and even entire kingdoms. "I-Its them! We have no choice but to flee now! We won't last against the demons!" a solider from the royal guard said as the stallion stepped back but a female guard grabbed his shoulder and shook her head. "He's near, I can sense his magic." The dragon king said out loud as many demons in front of the army moved aside as the person himself stood forward with a small smile on his lips holding a single book in his hand. The young man. He wears high-collared red (black in the anime) and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He has short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. He also wears a pendant. "It's him, the black wizard, Zeref." said the human king as he stepped forward. "He's the only human that seeks to end our world as we know it. The only one with magic." "What is with his guy? He's a human, but shouldn't be able to use magic!" Yelled a pony guard as he held his magic resist shield up while some guards nodded. "From what you said, he's not from your kingdom, you said he simple popped out of thin air." asked Celeista as she looked at the human king. "That is right, he said that he will end the age of pony and man to bring forth a new era, a era of demons." he said as Zeref stood with a small smile before stepping forward. "Ponys, humans, griffins, dragons, all other creatures have only one thing in mind, to do what they think it's right, and not care about others. Many ponys frown apon humans, and some smile, but those smiles are what make humans think there friendly, many smile to get what they want." he said in a soft tone but loud enough so all can hear. "Demons on the other hand, don't have a goal, no smile, no frown. Only death." said the griffin king. "That makes them monsters worse than us creatures as you put it!" "Maybe your right, Maybe your wrong, only those with the power to change can have a say. Those who don't, can stay out." Zeref said as he slowly pointed at them. "But enough talk. We are not here for that. We are here to see who shall leave and who shall die here." Zeref said as his demons all waited as the allies armys did the same. The rulers glared at the black wizard as he smiled back. "Before we battle, that book. What is that book?" Celeista asked as she stepped forward watching the book feeling powerful magic from it even passing her own. "I am glad you ask, you may know all this demons had came from a book similar to this in my hands, they are called demons of the book of Zeref. Demons that i had written. But this here. Is the most powerful demon that i have ever made, the only demon that can kill me." Zeref said with a smile as he rubbed the books surfs with his hand. This information had shooked most guards and rulers as they all glared. "The magic to make life?! How can a human like you posses that magic?! No one can alive can handle that type of magic!!" Zeref closed his eyes as his smile fell before he opened them once more as his black eyes were replaced by blood red ones. "You don't have the power to question me, now you may face me or my demons, but know this. You all will be put in history for the battle you lost. Now face the power of my magic!" he yelled as he did a moving motion with his arms as he than aimed both palms at the army doing a symbol with his fingers. "Chapter nine of the book of Zeref: Dark Angel" Here we go again.Canterlot Castle It has been many years since the battle with the creature allies against the dark lord and Equestria was at peace for years to come until now. In a Castle on the side of the highest mountain, two ailcorn sisters lived together and ruled over there home known as Equestria. But today was no normal happy day, today the princess of the sun and ruler was having a hard time getting her nerves and fears together. "Oh my, Oh my." the light white ailcorn princess mumbled while walking back and forth in her throne room with two gray earth pony's in gold armor with spears in hoof watched while standing next to her throne. "Dear sister, please calm thu self, you haven't stop since we got word of the dark lord." said the dark blue furr princess with a moon cuite mark on her flank while her different color mane floated in the air. "Thu should not be nervous." Princess Celestia looked at her sister Luna with wide eyes while her mouth slightly open. "Luna this human, is more dangerous then any foe we have faced!" she half yelled while she walked over to her midnight sister. "Remember all those lives! The other rulers! Many many deaths!" "Then why not use the elements on him?" Luna asked/suggested while she looked out the nearest window into the dark night. "Well maybe because...you know I've never thought of that." Celestia said while she ran out of the throne room towards her own room leaving Luna all alone with the two guards who stood there stiff as ever. With Celestia who was now in her room searching for her paper and ink to write a latter to her dear student Twilight Sparkle. "Dear my faithful student, i need you and the Element of Harmony to come to Canterlot at once! Your teacher and friend Princess Celestia." and with that she quickly sent it out in hopes that her faithful student well come soon. Ponyville Twilght Sparkle was reading one of her favorite books while she sat in her couch while her helpful assistant the dragon spike was making dinner. As she was about to call to him she heard a burb of fire from the kitchen, after a few seconds the small baby dragon came out holding a scroll in his claws. "Looks like a late message from the princess Celeista." he said as he handed her the scroll and left back to his cooking. Twilight looked at the scroll and used her magic to open it and read it, after a few seconds of reading it she blinked a few times as she jumped up looking like she was about to have a panic attack. "She wants us and the other elements to meet her at Canterlot at once?!" she yelled while she ran from room to room. "I gotta get the others! This can be big! Maybe Discord turned evil? A new villain?! Maybe a friendship test?!" she yelled as she ran out her crystal castle and towards to Applejack sweet apple acres. Unknown location The sounds of battle and death could be heard threw out the night sky was whimpers and screams of pain came from a small dark cave with a dead diamond dog and griffin in the entries. Inside the cave were more body's of dead diamond dogs, griffins, ponys, dragons and demons as there blood painted the floor and walls. There were many cages but now empy as the locks were on the floor. A single man stood in the middle along with three others that didn't look human or anything that lives in Equestria at all. The one who was feasting on the flesh of the dead had sharp teeth a long snout furr all over its body that stood on two legs with claws as sharp as knifes while the other two had coats on stood in the shadows. "Our goal here is done, our next mission will need one of my demons, sharpeye come here." Zeref himself said as the demon wolf man looked at his master and walked over with a body in his mouth. "I need you to get a book for me at the castle of the two sisters." Zeref said as the wolf nodded while it threw the body of the dragon in his mouth away and stood ready. "You'll need to find the demon known as Deliora." Zeref said with a soft smile. The demon nodded and ran out the cave and into the night. "Lord Zeref, why do we need Deliora now? Why not use your lower class demons first?" asked a clocked demon as the female stood forward. "Because, I know that some might stop us from getting to our target." Zeref said as he turned and walked towards a small throne in the bandit cave and sat down. "Who is bold enough to go up against you my lord." asked the demon while Zeref looked at his demons remembering how many people wants him dead. "Well for starters all of Equestria and there rulers, not to mention the villains as well." Zeref said as he looked at his demon. As he than reached into his coat and pulled out a single book. "And in the villain book here, I'll need to send one powerful villain so the main characters can stop it and become more powerful so they can stop me." "But lord Zeref, what about those other humans? Some are even learning magic and friendship from that new formed school by the princess of friendship." "You mean Twilight Sparkle? She may be a princess but she'll lose to my power." Zeref said as he than snapped his finger. "Let us see bring me the prisoners." The demons nodded and walked off as cries of fear could be heard as the two demons dragged two ponys to Zeref and threw them at his feet. The two looked up. A Zebra and a small yellow filly. "Zecora and Applebloom." Attack on CanterlotCanterlot Castle In the castle of the two sister's, in the middle of the throne room many rulers from all across the land had gathered talking among themselves about why they were invited to the pony kingdom. All the while the two princess stood on the top room of there castle with a another pony. This pony was almost as tall as the princess, wearing a strawhat, blue and white clothing with a strange looking alement on his chest his wings on the side of his body with his horn threw his strawhat as the two sisters bowled. "Lord Raiden, we are honoured that you could join us in this private chat." said princess Celeista as Raiden nodded to the princess. "No need to be thankful your highness, you said it was important and i came as quickly as possible, what seems to be the trouble?" asked the thunder god. "Well you see Zeref has made his move once more, we believe his ready to end Equestria as we know it." Celeista said as Luna stepped forward. "And thu foe has taken two ponies from ponyville, i had talked with them in there dreams, there trapped in the hide out of the dark mage." Luna said as she looked at the sky with rage in her eyes. "I see, Zeref has begone to make his move? This is troublesome indeed but sadly, I won't be able to aid you." Raiden said as Celeista looked at the protector with a questionably look. Raiden saw this and lowered his head. "The Empire of Outworld has also made his move and has held a tournament at his realm, sadly that will have my full attention." he said his white glowing eyes looking at the two. "But I may be able to send powerful warriors to aid you in my place." he said as the sisters nodded and without a word Raiden walked to the open window as lighting struck him before disappearing. Than as soon as Raiden left the castle began to shaking roughly as books and other objects began to fall and crash into the ground below. "What the hell?!" yelled the guards who all fell to the floor as the two sisters teleported back to the war-room with the other allies. "We are under attack?! We are not ready for this!" stated princess Mina of the wolf kingdom. "My army is miles away and i only have a hand-full of warriors!" "As are mine!" shrieked prince of the Zebra tribe. "We can't win the battle ahead, they'll have our heads!" "Calm down we'll have to hold down the castle with the forces we have here!" yelled running river of the goat tribe. "Thu is right! Everybody prepare for battle!" Luna yelled as the warriors gathered around there rulers as they held there weapons. The castle shook once more as a loud roar could be heard outside. Outside of the castle many house's of the once peaceful city were burning as crys of battle could be heard followed by attacks and silence as four large figures stood among the dead civilians and guards. As soon as the rulers ran out of the castle along with there small army into the city stood in front of the four glaring with nothing but hate in there eyes, seeing the many lost lifes that the four demons in front had taken. Celeista stomped her hoof on the ground as she glared at the four demons in front of her. "Demons of Zeref! Leave at once! Or be slain by us!" "Haha! I wonder how much your life will cost." said a small round green demon with weird strips around its body with spikes all around it's body with a single eye. "Quiet Franmalth, we do not talk with tools of work." said a tall skeleton in mage robs holding a staff it's mouth stitched up while wearing a golden helmet. The demon Keyes than looked at the creatures in front of him. "Killing them would be a waste of our time, we need only the princesses and there power." said a fish looking demon with dark scales as he crushed the body of a pony in his hand and throw it in front of them. "Kill the others as you wish but let the princesses sister's alive, we have plans for those two." said the final and last demon known as the leader of there team the demon Kyôka as she looked up at Torarozar. She had a body of a human but some parts of a bird. She than looked at the rulers in front of her and smiled with the most evil and dark smile she can make. "Most of you don't know who we are, we are the Nine Demon Gates, and we are here to do the wishes of lord Zeref." She said as the demons all stood side by side as the others stood back most guards scared for there lifes. Some even dropped there weapons and ran back into the castle. Franmelth the first demon than walked forward. "Guess I'll start by killing all of you!" he laughed like a mad man and jumped right at them and right about he was going to attack Celeista a giant engle hand crushed the demon as the other demons watched as the others looked at where it came from. "Oh? Am I late?" asked the god of chaos as he laughed his large hand disappearing showing the dead demon in front of them. "See? Am I helpful Celeista?" he asked as the princess smiled at her allie. "Now that I'm here, why don't you leave now before i make you." said Discord with a cold voice as the demons just stared at him and there dead comrade. "We will not, you may be a god but we are demons who won't be scared easily." said Torarozar who growled at him. Discord raised his fist wearing a golden thick glove with many colorful stones. "Let's find out what kind of fish you are than." New AlliesEquestria: Ponyville As the land laid in ruin, rumble covering the many bodies of the once residence that lived in the peaceful village. The crystal castle that belong to the princess of friendship also laid in ruin as well as the friendship school that was driven into the water smoke and fire could be seen all over. A painful groan could be heard as a young injured woman with a long horn, pair of wings wearing a purple skirt, white button up shirt and a broken crown walked holding her right arm. "H-hello? Many one there?" she called out as she looked around in search of anyone who could still be alive. "Miss sparkle!" a voice yelled as a guard pegasus ran over to the royal mare welding his long sword. "Miss sparkle, your friends are in the everfree along with others, you must go now." he said as the mare nodded. Right about as the two were about to leave, loud steps could be heard behind them as they looked back seeing a large male wearing dirty clothing and a hoodie that could only show it's mouth and brown beard. "It's that demon again, princess please run! I'll try to hold this thing off as long as possible!" said the guard stallion as he gave a battle cry before running at the hooded person only for him to hold up his arm. "Woosh." the rough cold voice of the demon could be heard as the wind around the guard started spinning as he was thrown up than spammed down before the demon walked forward. The guard groaned as he slowly tried to get up but was forced back down by the demon with his boot, than he moved his boot to the guards back neck and groaned before the demon crushed his neck. Twilight stepped back fearing for her life staring at the demon in front of her. "W-who are you!" she yelled with small tears forming in the corner of her eyes. The demon looked at Twilight as he looked up. "I have no name, but there is a word you people call me, a force a nature, disaster." said the demon as he than pulled his hood back revealing his face a sort of dog looking creature. "And I'm one of the Nine demon gates of hell." he said before his lower half turned into a gray tornado and shot right at Twilight. His eyes full of fire of hell with a frown. Twilight jumped back as she charged up a blast with her horn and shot it at the demon. Only for him to dodge it and aimed his fist to her lower chest under her breast and held open his hand. "Boom." he said as a small tornado formed in his palm and shot right at Twilight forcing her to crash into a building wall crashing threw it as she fell on her back crying in pain as the demon flew up. Twilight glared up as her horn glowed with power. "Beam shot!" she yelled as her horn glowed as a orb of purple energy shot right at the demon hitting him right in the chest as he yelled before falling back being knocked off his own cures. Twilight smirked as she jumped up ignoring the pain in her body before running at the demon who laid on his back as she than spread her wings and flew up high above him and held her hands down aiming at the demon. "Twilight Zoom!" she yelled as many rings of purple magic shot down on the demon as he roared in pain as the rings were cursing his body threw the earth under him. Twilight smiled as she than held her hand above her head ready for her final attack. "Frie-" Twilight was cut off by a explosion that hit her right in her leg sending her flying into the ground as she screamed in pain. "Hahah! You already forgot about me?!" Jackel laughed as he smirked laughing even more before jumping off the roof of a house and walked over to the fallen princess. "Haha! Wow you really are something! The boss wants you real bad! But I don't!" he chucked before aiming his palm down at Twilight. "I'll see you in hell." Jackel said as Twilight watched with tears falling from her eyes. As Jackel was about to blow Twilight to hell a dagger went threw his arm as he groaned in pain looking at who dared to get in his way. A small dragon boy stood with a bloody black shirt and jeans as his green eyes glared at the demon. "Let her go!" Spike yelled as Jackel groaned and looked at the dagger. "You know kid, you should have gone for the head!" Jackel said before using his explosion to send Spike back knocking the boy out as he laughed. Tempester than walked towards Jackel his hoodie ripped and torn from Twilight's attacks. "Jackel, why are you still here, it's my job to finish everyone else off." he said as Jackel rolled his eyes. "Like hell I'll let you have all the fun!" Jackel said as he looked back at Twilight. "Say miss princess, how is that girl? You know, the dead one! Starlight! Haha!" Jackel laughed as Tempester stood back. Than with speed as fast as the rainbow haired mare a deer wearing some weird looking armor rammed into the demon Jackel taking him to the other side of town as the demon yelled in pain. Tempester watched as he was about to attack the new foe but was cut off by a small orange dragon with some purple scales kick him square in the chest making the demon fall back on a rock, than a small large looking yak rammed into the demon making Tempester go threw the rock crashing into the rock, bones of the demons spin could be heard braking. "Nice one Yona and Smolder, keep that monster down!" yelled a blue griffen with teen who had a revenge smirk. "Come on let's take him down once and for all!" yelled Smolder as her other five friends cheered as well. Back with Jackel who blow the deer away with his curses and stumbled back holding his side which was stabbed with one of the deers antlers. "Who the fuck you think you are!" yelled Jackel as the deer glared at the demon. "The names Ullr, now get ready to die." It BeginsCanterlot Castle Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship along with the other elements of harmony expect who was Twilight's student stayed back at the castle along the the young dragon spike who was like Twilight's little brother. They were being escorted by four solar guards in gold armor armed with swords and spears. The young princess had many thoughts going threw her head, many theory's on why she was summoned to her highness. 'Maybe to ask how our school as been doing? No she would just have ask about it in her letter. Maybe she has a test for me and my friend's? Or there could be another new threat to Equestria?!' There were many thoughts and horrific ideas in the bookworms mind, her friends on the other hand were silent not thinking nothing of it. The party pink pony, Pinkie pie was bouncing around like the happy earth pony she was. The apple farmer, AppaleJack seemed to look around seeing new things around the kingdon. she also brought her laso which she rarly does but it was so near her hoof that it looked like she was ready for a showdown like always. Rairy the fashion designer who was in next to the orange earth pony, looked like she was nervous more then ever in fact, her legs shaking with each step as her clothe almost looked like armor the thick coat she wore looked like it can stop a bullet close range. The Pegasus Rainbow Dash was making any cocky remarks or quotes as she walked along with her friends, she didn't look as bad as her friends but she did shoot a few looks around as they passed a corner. But the last pegasus of there group, Fluttershy looked just fine, walking next to them looking out the near by windows. Once they stopped in front of a pair of giant set of doors the four solar guards left back to there post but not before bowing to the princess of friendship, Twilight knocked on the set of doors waiting for a replie on the other side. "Come In." said a so comfortable and familiar voice on the other side of the doors. As soon as she heard the voice she used her magic to push the set of doors wide open only for them to go wide eyed in shock and mouth agap. There sitting in her throne was the two sisters of the sun and moon and in front of them were more rulers from other country's! Lance black-claw the king of the shark kingdom under the northern seas. He had gold rings, neckless with ruby's and sapphire around his neck and a armored golden beak and talons while he wore simple clothing of those in royalty. Sharp-tooth the richly who ruled the diamond dog kingdom, he too wore simple royal clothing but with his armor chest plate on the outside and he had his gray furr paw on the butt of his blade on the side of his belt wearing more gold then a dick noble. And then there stood Prince Rutherford the prince of the kingdom of yakyakistan, he looked a little older and he still had that deadpan stare he always has. Twilight along with her trusty friend's walked forward and stopped, giving them all a respectfully bow as they did the same. "Princess Celestia, we can as fast as we can, is Equestria in danger again?" Twilight asked seeing how this summoning wasn't a normal one with more royalty present. Her friends stood back watching as they kept quiet. "I fear that a new war is on it's way, with the dark wizard Zeref." Luna the night goddess said with a bit of fear and held the most serious expression that anypony alive would see. "We face a completely different threat that would slay us all within days." she said once more. This shocked everyone, how could the end of Equestria is nearing? Many thought on how powerful this Zeref creature was, that somehow escape tartarus? This news shocked everybody to the core in the room Fluttershy was almost bursting into tears if not for Rarity who held her in a warm embrace. "P-please t-t-tell me it's n-not t-true." sequeled Fluttershy with tears dripping from her eyes. "This can't be!" roaed Lance who stepped forward to the princess with fire in his eyes while his claws dug into the ground below him. "This must be some sort of sick joke!" "It is not, i fear." Celestia said while she looked down, her eyes filled with hopelessness. "This foe, is like nothing you have ever seen or faced before." she said as she trotted over to her former student. "This...creature is like a monster with a never ending thirst for blood." the sun goddess said with even more fear in her eyes. "Pony princess is right!" Prince Rutherford the yak stated. As his deadpan stare turned into one of regret and pain. "That monster! Kill many Yak! Yak can't fight it even with big numbers!" this new information made the seven ponys more shock lossing all hope at this point. Luna then stepped forward looking at the main six. "That is why we must use the elements! With thu power of friendship we'll win this war by stoning the horror forever!" yelled Luna in her canterlot voice. "Y-yes princess Luna! We'll not fail you!" yelled Twilight who also used the canterlot voice. Ponyville: Twilight's Castle Twilight had gathered the rest of the elements of harmony at there throne room. The princess of friendship flipping books threw out the floor looking for a certain book. "Where is it! Where is it?!" yelled Twilight as she ran to the nearest book shelf looking for the book. They just had gotten yet another letter from Celeista that the pillers and StarSwirl would be meeting with them at her castle. In the letter it also said to get the book of Equestria's history book. While the princess of friendship looked threw out the library Starlight and Spike were shock at the news, about the up coming war. "So, does this mean school is canceled? Send all the students home?" Spike asked while Starlight nodded. "We'll need to send them all home, to be with there family's, we can handle what's coming next! I hope." Starlight said as she walked out of the throne room along with Spike. A guard in gold armor walked into the throne room before bowing. "Your highness, King Jack, StarSwirl and his party is here." said the guard. As Twilight nodded. "Please send them in! You can go back to your post." Twilight said as the guard nodded bowing once more before walking off as King Jack the king of the deer kingdom walked in in his royal armor with two guards and the pillers next to him. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, a honor to meet you." the King said bowing to her as Twilight did the same. After they all got to know one another they all sat around the throne table looking at the map and the book that Twilight had just found. Watch this than read the rest of the story please. https://youtu.be/cXLwgFCcUdc "Alright now that we-" StarSwirl was cut off by a set of doors being slammed open as a guards men ran in. "Your highness! There's a problem!" yelled the guard's pony. StarSwirl glared at the guard pony and slammed his hoof down. "What is it?! Can't you see we are in an important meeting!" yelled StarSwirl as the guard's man nodded. "Y-yes sir but we have an intruder! And-" the guard's men was cut off as the place all over ponyville flashed with many lights all over the village, castle and school before a long pause than it all at once blew up into flames. As the buildings all fell apart into the guard as screams of horror could be heard as everything went up in flames the buildings all falling into the earth. After the rumble settled down a groan came from the fallen castle as Twilight slowly stood up holding her head as blood dripped into the floor from her nose and head. Looking to the side and seeing Starlight who was not far from her laid as Twilight groaned. "Starlight, get up. We're under attack and i can't do this alone." Twilight said as she slowly stood and walked over to Starlight and picked her up. "Starlight? Oh my Celeista, she's dead." Twilight said as she gently placed the body on the floor looking around seeing many bodys of guards and her friends than she heard a groan and her name. "Tw-ilight." said a injured StarSwirl who's lower half was crushed under a huge piece of the castle. "S-starSwirl?" said Twilight as she fell to her kness looking at the wizard. "Twilight, we're not out of danger." StarSwirl said as a hand slammed his head to the ground as Twilight went wide eyed. A what looks like a man with a yellow furr ears and tail with sharp teeth and claws stood above StarSwirl. "Your not supposed to be alive! The other's played along but I guess you'll need some conversing!" the demon said with a crazy rough voice as he looked at StarSwirl his hand glowing as StarSwirls body began to blow. "Explosions." "Let him go you monster!" yelled Twilight as StarSwirl looked at Twilight. "Twilight. Run. There's no reason for you do die with the rest of us!" StarSwirl said as Twilight closed her eyes tears falling into the ground. The demon than looked up at Twilight. "The names Jackel by the way! One of the nine demons of Tartaros! Tell that to your friends in hell!" he said as Twilight shot her eyes open once more as StarSwirl closed his eyes. "Run now! Find what justice means to you and protect it until the every end! That's an order!" yelled StarSwirl before the explosion spell activated. "STARSWIRL!" Twilight yelled before the place were the two were exploded once more.
Death & LoseThe Face Off Equestria Four-hundred years ago. At the northern mountains. Death. Death was all that the kings, Queens, Princesses and Prince's see at the northern mountains. Army's of ponys, griffons, dragons etc laid on the battle field. Lifeless, the army that was left were breathing and beaten heavily while the pony wizards all tried there best to heal as many injured as they could. "Princesses Celeista, more than 70% of our army has been whipped out from the last attack! We will not survive another attack. Even with the aid of the other kingdoms!" yelled the second in command of the royal guard. The Princesses of the sun looked at the commander as she stared with a feared expression, trying her best to look brave for her men and women. The anthro pony than reached for her side grabbing the rode of her sword and unleashed it as she aimed it up as it shined in the sun. "Do not fear! Do not surrender! We shall not fail! We are rulers of Equestria and we will no matter what! Protect our home!" Celeista yelled as the army's that had gathered cheered as they all yelled in agreement. While the Kings and Queens spoke amongst each other about the battle ahead. "We risk our life's and the life's of our army now and we shall fall sooner! I say we fall back and gather more allies." The prince of the panther kingdom said while he looked among the others. "If we go with that plan, what's not to say that our foe will do the same huh?" questioned Queen Chrysalis of the changeling hive. "Razor must agree with bug queen! Razor say we stay and fight evil human!" King Razor the third roared of the diamond dog kingdom, as his claws dug into the table. "We must make a discussion now, before our foe shows its self. So far our choice are either falling back to fight another day or fighting to our last breath." said a prince of the new formed kingdom of humans as roars came from the battle yield in front of them. Demons had arrived, but this were no normal demons, they were demons with powers of gods and nature itself. Many of this demons had taken the life's of many and even entire kingdoms. "I-Its them! We have no choice but to flee now! We won't last against the demons!" a solider from the royal guard said as the stallion stepped back but a female guard grabbed his shoulder and shook her head. "He's near, I can sense his magic." The dragon king said out loud as many demons in front of the army moved aside as the person himself stood forward with a small smile on his lips holding a single book in his hand. The young man. He wears high-collared red (black in the anime) and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He has short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. He also wears a pendant. "It's him, the black wizard, Zeref." said the human king as he stepped forward. "He's the only human that seeks to end our world as we know it. The only one with magic." "What is with his guy? He's a human, but shouldn't be able to use magic!" Yelled a pony guard as he held his magic resist shield up while some guards nodded. "From what you said, he's not from your kingdom, you said he simple popped out of thin air." asked Celeista as she looked at the human king. "That is right, he said that he will end the age of pony and man to bring forth a new era, a era of demons." he said as Zeref stood with a small smile before stepping forward. "Ponys, humans, griffins, dragons, all other creatures have only one thing in mind, to do what they think it's right, and not care about others. Many ponys frown apon humans, and some smile, but those smiles are what make humans think there friendly, many smile to get what they want." he said in a soft tone but loud enough so all can hear. "Demons on the other hand, don't have a goal, no smile, no frown. Only death." said the griffin king. "That makes them monsters worse than us creatures as you put it!" "Maybe your right, Maybe your wrong, only those with the power to change can have a say. Those who don't, can stay out." Zeref said as he slowly pointed at them. "But enough talk. We are not here for that. We are here to see who shall leave and who shall die here." Zeref said as his demons all waited as the allies armys did the same. The rulers glared at the black wizard as he smiled back. "Before we battle, that book. What is that book?" Celeista asked as she stepped forward watching the book feeling powerful magic from it even passing her own. "I am glad you ask, you may know all this demons had came from a book similar to this in my hands, they are called demons of the book of Zeref. Demons that i had written. But this here. Is the most powerful demon that i have ever made, the only demon that can kill me." Zeref said with a smile as he rubbed the books surfs with his hand. This information had shooked most guards and rulers as they all glared. "The magic to make life?! How can a human like you posses that magic?! No one can alive can handle that type of magic!!" Zeref closed his eyes as his smile fell before he opened them once more as his black eyes were replaced by blood red ones. "You don't have the power to question me, now you may face me or my demons, but know this. You all will be put in history for the battle you lost. Now face the power of my magic!" he yelled as he did a moving motion with his arms as he than aimed both palms at the army doing a symbol with his fingers. "Chapter nine of the book of Zeref: Dark Angel"
Here we go again.Canterlot Castle It has been many years since the battle with the creature allies against the dark lord and Equestria was at peace for years to come until now. In a Castle on the side of the highest mountain, two ailcorn sisters lived together and ruled over there home known as Equestria. But today was no normal happy day, today the princess of the sun and ruler was having a hard time getting her nerves and fears together. "Oh my, Oh my." the light white ailcorn princess mumbled while walking back and forth in her throne room with two gray earth pony's in gold armor with spears in hoof watched while standing next to her throne. "Dear sister, please calm thu self, you haven't stop since we got word of the dark lord." said the dark blue furr princess with a moon cuite mark on her flank while her different color mane floated in the air. "Thu should not be nervous." Princess Celestia looked at her sister Luna with wide eyes while her mouth slightly open. "Luna this human, is more dangerous then any foe we have faced!" she half yelled while she walked over to her midnight sister. "Remember all those lives! The other rulers! Many many deaths!" "Then why not use the elements on him?" Luna asked/suggested while she looked out the nearest window into the dark night. "Well maybe because...you know I've never thought of that." Celestia said while she ran out of the throne room towards her own room leaving Luna all alone with the two guards who stood there stiff as ever. With Celestia who was now in her room searching for her paper and ink to write a latter to her dear student Twilight Sparkle. "Dear my faithful student, i need you and the Element of Harmony to come to Canterlot at once! Your teacher and friend Princess Celestia." and with that she quickly sent it out in hopes that her faithful student well come soon. Ponyville Twilght Sparkle was reading one of her favorite books while she sat in her couch while her helpful assistant the dragon spike was making dinner. As she was about to call to him she heard a burb of fire from the kitchen, after a few seconds the small baby dragon came out holding a scroll in his claws. "Looks like a late message from the princess Celeista." he said as he handed her the scroll and left back to his cooking. Twilight looked at the scroll and used her magic to open it and read it, after a few seconds of reading it she blinked a few times as she jumped up looking like she was about to have a panic attack. "She wants us and the other elements to meet her at Canterlot at once?!" she yelled while she ran from room to room. "I gotta get the others! This can be big! Maybe Discord turned evil? A new villain?! Maybe a friendship test?!" she yelled as she ran out her crystal castle and towards to Applejack sweet apple acres. Unknown location The sounds of battle and death could be heard threw out the night sky was whimpers and screams of pain came from a small dark cave with a dead diamond dog and griffin in the entries. Inside the cave were more body's of dead diamond dogs, griffins, ponys, dragons and demons as there blood painted the floor and walls. There were many cages but now empy as the locks were on the floor. A single man stood in the middle along with three others that didn't look human or anything that lives in Equestria at all. The one who was feasting on the flesh of the dead had sharp teeth a long snout furr all over its body that stood on two legs with claws as sharp as knifes while the other two had coats on stood in the shadows. "Our goal here is done, our next mission will need one of my demons, sharpeye come here." Zeref himself said as the demon wolf man looked at his master and walked over with a body in his mouth. "I need you to get a book for me at the castle of the two sisters." Zeref said as the wolf nodded while it threw the body of the dragon in his mouth away and stood ready. "You'll need to find the demon known as Deliora." Zeref said with a soft smile. The demon nodded and ran out the cave and into the night. "Lord Zeref, why do we need Deliora now? Why not use your lower class demons first?" asked a clocked demon as the female stood forward. "Because, I know that some might stop us from getting to our target." Zeref said as he turned and walked towards a small throne in the bandit cave and sat down. "Who is bold enough to go up against you my lord." asked the demon while Zeref looked at his demons remembering how many people wants him dead. "Well for starters all of Equestria and there rulers, not to mention the villains as well." Zeref said as he looked at his demon. As he than reached into his coat and pulled out a single book. "And in the villain book here, I'll need to send one powerful villain so the main characters can stop it and become more powerful so they can stop me." "But lord Zeref, what about those other humans? Some are even learning magic and friendship from that new formed school by the princess of friendship." "You mean Twilight Sparkle? She may be a princess but she'll lose to my power." Zeref said as he than snapped his finger. "Let us see bring me the prisoners." The demons nodded and walked off as cries of fear could be heard as the two demons dragged two ponys to Zeref and threw them at his feet. The two looked up. A Zebra and a small yellow filly. "Zecora and Applebloom."
Attack on CanterlotCanterlot Castle In the castle of the two sister's, in the middle of the throne room many rulers from all across the land had gathered talking among themselves about why they were invited to the pony kingdom. All the while the two princess stood on the top room of there castle with a another pony. This pony was almost as tall as the princess, wearing a strawhat, blue and white clothing with a strange looking alement on his chest his wings on the side of his body with his horn threw his strawhat as the two sisters bowled. "Lord Raiden, we are honoured that you could join us in this private chat." said princess Celeista as Raiden nodded to the princess. "No need to be thankful your highness, you said it was important and i came as quickly as possible, what seems to be the trouble?" asked the thunder god. "Well you see Zeref has made his move once more, we believe his ready to end Equestria as we know it." Celeista said as Luna stepped forward. "And thu foe has taken two ponies from ponyville, i had talked with them in there dreams, there trapped in the hide out of the dark mage." Luna said as she looked at the sky with rage in her eyes. "I see, Zeref has begone to make his move? This is troublesome indeed but sadly, I won't be able to aid you." Raiden said as Celeista looked at the protector with a questionably look. Raiden saw this and lowered his head. "The Empire of Outworld has also made his move and has held a tournament at his realm, sadly that will have my full attention." he said his white glowing eyes looking at the two. "But I may be able to send powerful warriors to aid you in my place." he said as the sisters nodded and without a word Raiden walked to the open window as lighting struck him before disappearing. Than as soon as Raiden left the castle began to shaking roughly as books and other objects began to fall and crash into the ground below. "What the hell?!" yelled the guards who all fell to the floor as the two sisters teleported back to the war-room with the other allies. "We are under attack?! We are not ready for this!" stated princess Mina of the wolf kingdom. "My army is miles away and i only have a hand-full of warriors!" "As are mine!" shrieked prince of the Zebra tribe. "We can't win the battle ahead, they'll have our heads!" "Calm down we'll have to hold down the castle with the forces we have here!" yelled running river of the goat tribe. "Thu is right! Everybody prepare for battle!" Luna yelled as the warriors gathered around there rulers as they held there weapons. The castle shook once more as a loud roar could be heard outside. Outside of the castle many house's of the once peaceful city were burning as crys of battle could be heard followed by attacks and silence as four large figures stood among the dead civilians and guards. As soon as the rulers ran out of the castle along with there small army into the city stood in front of the four glaring with nothing but hate in there eyes, seeing the many lost lifes that the four demons in front had taken. Celeista stomped her hoof on the ground as she glared at the four demons in front of her. "Demons of Zeref! Leave at once! Or be slain by us!" "Haha! I wonder how much your life will cost." said a small round green demon with weird strips around its body with spikes all around it's body with a single eye. "Quiet Franmalth, we do not talk with tools of work." said a tall skeleton in mage robs holding a staff it's mouth stitched up while wearing a golden helmet. The demon Keyes than looked at the creatures in front of him. "Killing them would be a waste of our time, we need only the princesses and there power." said a fish looking demon with dark scales as he crushed the body of a pony in his hand and throw it in front of them. "Kill the others as you wish but let the princesses sister's alive, we have plans for those two." said the final and last demon known as the leader of there team the demon Kyôka as she looked up at Torarozar. She had a body of a human but some parts of a bird. She than looked at the rulers in front of her and smiled with the most evil and dark smile she can make. "Most of you don't know who we are, we are the Nine Demon Gates, and we are here to do the wishes of lord Zeref." She said as the demons all stood side by side as the others stood back most guards scared for there lifes. Some even dropped there weapons and ran back into the castle. Franmelth the first demon than walked forward. "Guess I'll start by killing all of you!" he laughed like a mad man and jumped right at them and right about he was going to attack Celeista a giant engle hand crushed the demon as the other demons watched as the others looked at where it came from. "Oh? Am I late?" asked the god of chaos as he laughed his large hand disappearing showing the dead demon in front of them. "See? Am I helpful Celeista?" he asked as the princess smiled at her allie. "Now that I'm here, why don't you leave now before i make you." said Discord with a cold voice as the demons just stared at him and there dead comrade. "We will not, you may be a god but we are demons who won't be scared easily." said Torarozar who growled at him. Discord raised his fist wearing a golden thick glove with many colorful stones. "Let's find out what kind of fish you are than."
New AlliesEquestria: Ponyville As the land laid in ruin, rumble covering the many bodies of the once residence that lived in the peaceful village. The crystal castle that belong to the princess of friendship also laid in ruin as well as the friendship school that was driven into the water smoke and fire could be seen all over. A painful groan could be heard as a young injured woman with a long horn, pair of wings wearing a purple skirt, white button up shirt and a broken crown walked holding her right arm. "H-hello? Many one there?" she called out as she looked around in search of anyone who could still be alive. "Miss sparkle!" a voice yelled as a guard pegasus ran over to the royal mare welding his long sword. "Miss sparkle, your friends are in the everfree along with others, you must go now." he said as the mare nodded. Right about as the two were about to leave, loud steps could be heard behind them as they looked back seeing a large male wearing dirty clothing and a hoodie that could only show it's mouth and brown beard. "It's that demon again, princess please run! I'll try to hold this thing off as long as possible!" said the guard stallion as he gave a battle cry before running at the hooded person only for him to hold up his arm. "Woosh." the rough cold voice of the demon could be heard as the wind around the guard started spinning as he was thrown up than spammed down before the demon walked forward. The guard groaned as he slowly tried to get up but was forced back down by the demon with his boot, than he moved his boot to the guards back neck and groaned before the demon crushed his neck. Twilight stepped back fearing for her life staring at the demon in front of her. "W-who are you!" she yelled with small tears forming in the corner of her eyes. The demon looked at Twilight as he looked up. "I have no name, but there is a word you people call me, a force a nature, disaster." said the demon as he than pulled his hood back revealing his face a sort of dog looking creature. "And I'm one of the Nine demon gates of hell." he said before his lower half turned into a gray tornado and shot right at Twilight. His eyes full of fire of hell with a frown. Twilight jumped back as she charged up a blast with her horn and shot it at the demon. Only for him to dodge it and aimed his fist to her lower chest under her breast and held open his hand. "Boom." he said as a small tornado formed in his palm and shot right at Twilight forcing her to crash into a building wall crashing threw it as she fell on her back crying in pain as the demon flew up. Twilight glared up as her horn glowed with power. "Beam shot!" she yelled as her horn glowed as a orb of purple energy shot right at the demon hitting him right in the chest as he yelled before falling back being knocked off his own cures. Twilight smirked as she jumped up ignoring the pain in her body before running at the demon who laid on his back as she than spread her wings and flew up high above him and held her hands down aiming at the demon. "Twilight Zoom!" she yelled as many rings of purple magic shot down on the demon as he roared in pain as the rings were cursing his body threw the earth under him. Twilight smiled as she than held her hand above her head ready for her final attack. "Frie-" Twilight was cut off by a explosion that hit her right in her leg sending her flying into the ground as she screamed in pain. "Hahah! You already forgot about me?!" Jackel laughed as he smirked laughing even more before jumping off the roof of a house and walked over to the fallen princess. "Haha! Wow you really are something! The boss wants you real bad! But I don't!" he chucked before aiming his palm down at Twilight. "I'll see you in hell." Jackel said as Twilight watched with tears falling from her eyes. As Jackel was about to blow Twilight to hell a dagger went threw his arm as he groaned in pain looking at who dared to get in his way. A small dragon boy stood with a bloody black shirt and jeans as his green eyes glared at the demon. "Let her go!" Spike yelled as Jackel groaned and looked at the dagger. "You know kid, you should have gone for the head!" Jackel said before using his explosion to send Spike back knocking the boy out as he laughed. Tempester than walked towards Jackel his hoodie ripped and torn from Twilight's attacks. "Jackel, why are you still here, it's my job to finish everyone else off." he said as Jackel rolled his eyes. "Like hell I'll let you have all the fun!" Jackel said as he looked back at Twilight. "Say miss princess, how is that girl? You know, the dead one! Starlight! Haha!" Jackel laughed as Tempester stood back. Than with speed as fast as the rainbow haired mare a deer wearing some weird looking armor rammed into the demon Jackel taking him to the other side of town as the demon yelled in pain. Tempester watched as he was about to attack the new foe but was cut off by a small orange dragon with some purple scales kick him square in the chest making the demon fall back on a rock, than a small large looking yak rammed into the demon making Tempester go threw the rock crashing into the rock, bones of the demons spin could be heard braking. "Nice one Yona and Smolder, keep that monster down!" yelled a blue griffen with teen who had a revenge smirk. "Come on let's take him down once and for all!" yelled Smolder as her other five friends cheered as well. Back with Jackel who blow the deer away with his curses and stumbled back holding his side which was stabbed with one of the deers antlers. "Who the fuck you think you are!" yelled Jackel as the deer glared at the demon. "The names Ullr, now get ready to die."
It BeginsCanterlot Castle Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship along with the other elements of harmony expect who was Twilight's student stayed back at the castle along the the young dragon spike who was like Twilight's little brother. They were being escorted by four solar guards in gold armor armed with swords and spears. The young princess had many thoughts going threw her head, many theory's on why she was summoned to her highness. 'Maybe to ask how our school as been doing? No she would just have ask about it in her letter. Maybe she has a test for me and my friend's? Or there could be another new threat to Equestria?!' There were many thoughts and horrific ideas in the bookworms mind, her friends on the other hand were silent not thinking nothing of it. The party pink pony, Pinkie pie was bouncing around like the happy earth pony she was. The apple farmer, AppaleJack seemed to look around seeing new things around the kingdon. she also brought her laso which she rarly does but it was so near her hoof that it looked like she was ready for a showdown like always. Rairy the fashion designer who was in next to the orange earth pony, looked like she was nervous more then ever in fact, her legs shaking with each step as her clothe almost looked like armor the thick coat she wore looked like it can stop a bullet close range. The Pegasus Rainbow Dash was making any cocky remarks or quotes as she walked along with her friends, she didn't look as bad as her friends but she did shoot a few looks around as they passed a corner. But the last pegasus of there group, Fluttershy looked just fine, walking next to them looking out the near by windows. Once they stopped in front of a pair of giant set of doors the four solar guards left back to there post but not before bowing to the princess of friendship, Twilight knocked on the set of doors waiting for a replie on the other side. "Come In." said a so comfortable and familiar voice on the other side of the doors. As soon as she heard the voice she used her magic to push the set of doors wide open only for them to go wide eyed in shock and mouth agap. There sitting in her throne was the two sisters of the sun and moon and in front of them were more rulers from other country's! Lance black-claw the king of the shark kingdom under the northern seas. He had gold rings, neckless with ruby's and sapphire around his neck and a armored golden beak and talons while he wore simple clothing of those in royalty. Sharp-tooth the richly who ruled the diamond dog kingdom, he too wore simple royal clothing but with his armor chest plate on the outside and he had his gray furr paw on the butt of his blade on the side of his belt wearing more gold then a dick noble. And then there stood Prince Rutherford the prince of the kingdom of yakyakistan, he looked a little older and he still had that deadpan stare he always has. Twilight along with her trusty friend's walked forward and stopped, giving them all a respectfully bow as they did the same. "Princess Celestia, we can as fast as we can, is Equestria in danger again?" Twilight asked seeing how this summoning wasn't a normal one with more royalty present. Her friends stood back watching as they kept quiet. "I fear that a new war is on it's way, with the dark wizard Zeref." Luna the night goddess said with a bit of fear and held the most serious expression that anypony alive would see. "We face a completely different threat that would slay us all within days." she said once more. This shocked everyone, how could the end of Equestria is nearing? Many thought on how powerful this Zeref creature was, that somehow escape tartarus? This news shocked everybody to the core in the room Fluttershy was almost bursting into tears if not for Rarity who held her in a warm embrace. "P-please t-t-tell me it's n-not t-true." sequeled Fluttershy with tears dripping from her eyes. "This can't be!" roaed Lance who stepped forward to the princess with fire in his eyes while his claws dug into the ground below him. "This must be some sort of sick joke!" "It is not, i fear." Celestia said while she looked down, her eyes filled with hopelessness. "This foe, is like nothing you have ever seen or faced before." she said as she trotted over to her former student. "This...creature is like a monster with a never ending thirst for blood." the sun goddess said with even more fear in her eyes. "Pony princess is right!" Prince Rutherford the yak stated. As his deadpan stare turned into one of regret and pain. "That monster! Kill many Yak! Yak can't fight it even with big numbers!" this new information made the seven ponys more shock lossing all hope at this point. Luna then stepped forward looking at the main six. "That is why we must use the elements! With thu power of friendship we'll win this war by stoning the horror forever!" yelled Luna in her canterlot voice. "Y-yes princess Luna! We'll not fail you!" yelled Twilight who also used the canterlot voice. Ponyville: Twilight's Castle Twilight had gathered the rest of the elements of harmony at there throne room. The princess of friendship flipping books threw out the floor looking for a certain book. "Where is it! Where is it?!" yelled Twilight as she ran to the nearest book shelf looking for the book. They just had gotten yet another letter from Celeista that the pillers and StarSwirl would be meeting with them at her castle. In the letter it also said to get the book of Equestria's history book. While the princess of friendship looked threw out the library Starlight and Spike were shock at the news, about the up coming war. "So, does this mean school is canceled? Send all the students home?" Spike asked while Starlight nodded. "We'll need to send them all home, to be with there family's, we can handle what's coming next! I hope." Starlight said as she walked out of the throne room along with Spike. A guard in gold armor walked into the throne room before bowing. "Your highness, King Jack, StarSwirl and his party is here." said the guard. As Twilight nodded. "Please send them in! You can go back to your post." Twilight said as the guard nodded bowing once more before walking off as King Jack the king of the deer kingdom walked in in his royal armor with two guards and the pillers next to him. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, a honor to meet you." the King said bowing to her as Twilight did the same. After they all got to know one another they all sat around the throne table looking at the map and the book that Twilight had just found. Watch this than read the rest of the story please. https://youtu.be/cXLwgFCcUdc "Alright now that we-" StarSwirl was cut off by a set of doors being slammed open as a guards men ran in. "Your highness! There's a problem!" yelled the guard's pony. StarSwirl glared at the guard pony and slammed his hoof down. "What is it?! Can't you see we are in an important meeting!" yelled StarSwirl as the guard's man nodded. "Y-yes sir but we have an intruder! And-" the guard's men was cut off as the place all over ponyville flashed with many lights all over the village, castle and school before a long pause than it all at once blew up into flames. As the buildings all fell apart into the guard as screams of horror could be heard as everything went up in flames the buildings all falling into the earth. After the rumble settled down a groan came from the fallen castle as Twilight slowly stood up holding her head as blood dripped into the floor from her nose and head. Looking to the side and seeing Starlight who was not far from her laid as Twilight groaned. "Starlight, get up. We're under attack and i can't do this alone." Twilight said as she slowly stood and walked over to Starlight and picked her up. "Starlight? Oh my Celeista, she's dead." Twilight said as she gently placed the body on the floor looking around seeing many bodys of guards and her friends than she heard a groan and her name. "Tw-ilight." said a injured StarSwirl who's lower half was crushed under a huge piece of the castle. "S-starSwirl?" said Twilight as she fell to her kness looking at the wizard. "Twilight, we're not out of danger." StarSwirl said as a hand slammed his head to the ground as Twilight went wide eyed. A what looks like a man with a yellow furr ears and tail with sharp teeth and claws stood above StarSwirl. "Your not supposed to be alive! The other's played along but I guess you'll need some conversing!" the demon said with a crazy rough voice as he looked at StarSwirl his hand glowing as StarSwirls body began to blow. "Explosions." "Let him go you monster!" yelled Twilight as StarSwirl looked at Twilight. "Twilight. Run. There's no reason for you do die with the rest of us!" StarSwirl said as Twilight closed her eyes tears falling into the ground. The demon than looked up at Twilight. "The names Jackel by the way! One of the nine demons of Tartaros! Tell that to your friends in hell!" he said as Twilight shot her eyes open once more as StarSwirl closed his eyes. "Run now! Find what justice means to you and protect it until the every end! That's an order!" yelled StarSwirl before the explosion spell activated. "STARSWIRL!" Twilight yelled before the place were the two were exploded once more.
