They had made it out of the underground. Celestia the Main 6 and a guard made it out of that place before the creature could get to them.

"What was that thing" the guard exclaimed still horrified at the fact that it deflected magic, magic of all things!

"I don't know" Celestia replied "but I do know that it must be destroyed, summon the solar guards" she ordered and the guard ran off to sound the alarm

It seemed safe at the moment but that safety would last for a very short time as they could already hear banging from the inside of the cave as Chernobog was smashing his way through the walls of stone.

"How is it already so close" Twilight shrieked

"I don know but what I do know is that its gonna get one heck of a whoopin" Applejack said toughly

"Yeah lets beat this thing to a pulp" Rainbow Dash said enthusiastically.

The bangs were closer now and they could feel the stone cracking. They saw that the final door was already giving way small cracks appearing from the center of the giant slab of rock. Twilight thought of a plan to distract the creature while she devised a plan to open the playing field for the Solar Guard.

"Girls, keep it busy I have a plan for where we can lure it to" Twilight said. The group nodded and Twilight teleported away to alert Celestia and tell her of her plan.

"Ready girls" Applejack said getting ready for a fight.

"of course" Rainbow Dash said already in the air.

A loud boom and a cloud of dust signaled that the rock had gave way to the thing pursuing the group. From the Rubble emerged Chernobog a hammer and blade coming from its arms and wearing its clothing. Without saying anything it ran at them slashing at applejack who bucked it away sending it flying into a house but the creature seemed unfazed by the attack now holding what looked like a black metal stick but it made a loud bang and a scream erupted from the group.

"Fluttershy!" the group yelled as they saw a big mark with blood coming from it on her leg.

"You'll pay for that!" Rainbow yelled as she flew at super speeds towards the creature who had injured her best friend.

Chernobog ducked at the flying horse barreling towards them catching Rainbow Dash by her tail and slamming her to the ground and kicking her away, the shot landed with the weaker one who was now struggling to move. It holstered his gun and proceeded to walk towards its targets ready to kill as it had done before. They shot bolts of magic at it and all it did was deflect them easily. No attack seemed to strike fear into this creature, like it had no heart only an objective to kill that which it deemed a target.

"hurry girls follow me" Twilight said appearing back with them as they ran with her Chernobog following just behind them.

They ran to the train so they could get back to Ponyville. they got in and the train went back down the path getting faster as to avoid the thing chasing them. Their worries seemed to go away as they saw it getting farther away but they were not to rest yet as Chernobog was now running towards them with incredible speeds and he seemed to be getting closer by the second. A magic bolt blew it off the rails and sent it tumbling down the hill. They made it down to the hills and there waiting for them were the solar and lunar guard lead by Luna and Celestia.

"We shall fight here and we shall win" Luna said readying her forces for battle.

"Yes sister and harmony will be restored" Celestia said.

They were both covered in their armor and its power. There were cheers and yells of war for the oncoming battle, the army of the sun and moon vs a one man army of death. Fire could be seen in the distance as sadly they saw that small villages were already targets of the monster and its weapons. From the distance they saw it the brown tattered coat and crimson helmet of the creature who could best the princesses... Chernobog.

"Unicorns, Fire!" The sisters yelled as bolts of magic flew from the horns of the unicorn soldiers and straight towards the thing that had already killed those in its path. When the smoke cleared it still stood its helmet and coat badly destroyed but that didn't stop the creature. it took off the smoking coat and ran towards them earth ponies and Pegasus alike charged at him full force yet their numbers dropped fast as the blades from the creatures body began to grow and kill all who met its touch.

"we have no choice" Celestia said "Twilight use the elements of harmony on it" Twilight nodded and assembled the 6 bearers who began to channel the power of friendship and shot it at the creature.

When the dust cleared all that remained was the stone figure of death still in a position to kill. The ponies sighed a breath of relief but all of their faces began to show signs of fear as the stone began to crack and black liquid poured from the eyes of the creature. The statue exploded and all that was there was an iron skeleton and an black liquid at the base of it.

"you have failed" the liquid spoke and it took shape around the skeleton. That was the day that Equestria fell.

Legends say that the survivors went underground to hide from the monstrosity that walked the lands of the once peaceful Equestria. There's a rumor of a cave near the ruins of Canterlot city with writings of the surviving ponies who are now supposedly underground. One piece of writing is some advice you should follow if you ever come to this wasteland alone or in numbers

"All who find this message beware, beware of the one made of black, beware the creature who turned the world to ash while all rot to bones and ash. It walks the land taking all who cross its path, if you hear its groan... hide and pray it does not find you. Beware the one who ended the world's land, beware Chernobogs wrath.
