Fate's Hand

Death leaves her dimension saying, "Alteya" and returns to his four-legged pegasi form and takes to the air to return to the Crystal Empire for one more day, planning on returning to Ponyville to monitor the plan's progression.

The trip back is uneventful as Seven (Death) trots back into the Crystal Castle, feeling pleased with how things are going when he hears Princess Cadence holding court in the throne room and continues on his way to his room saying, "One day, you rulers will be relieved of not having subjects to rule over..."

Hours pass as evening finally comes when Cadence finishes eating her dinner with her daughter, and looks across the table at her, seeing that she has barely eaten anything, and asks, "You really should eat something sweetie, you won't grow up healthy if you don't eat."

Flurry Heart sighs and says, "I know mom, but I've been having stomach cramps lately, so I haven't had an appetite. I can't believe that I started menstruating this morning, this day couldn't have gotten any worse..."

Concerned for her daughter, she smiles lovingly at her then gets up from the table. Making her way around to where her daughter is sitting, she pulls her close in a tight hug saying, "I know dear, you startled me when you barged into my room thinking you were bleeding to death. Fear not though, for I know a treatment that will help you through it. It's called Moon Tea and it has another helpful effect as well..."

Flurry Heart then embraces her mother back with a smile saying, "Thank you, Mommy, it means so much to hear that you care." then asks, "What else does that Moon Tea do?"

After telling her daughter about Estrus Season the other effects of Moon Tea and showing her where it is in the castle as well as how to brew it, she heads to her room to see her husband on the bed, already asleep. Seeing him lying there gives her an idea, which brings a grin to her face as she wonders if Seven has returned yet from his expedition. Making her way to his room, she knocks on the door and hears him grant her entry, then opens the door and enters the room with her plan in mind.

Cadence looks at Seven with a happy sigh saying, "I'm glad you are back, how was your expedition?"

Seven (Death) looks at her from the bed and slips the covers aside for her, saying, "Disappointing...my prey scattered to the four winds so I have to find another way to acquire it. How was your day in court, did you deal with the petty whiners?"

She giggles at his question and says, "How unfortunate, I am sure you will figure something out. As for court, there were a few, but it was mostly about getting the new stadium finished and ready for the Equestria Games in a few weeks. Speaking of which, I would like you to attend, so I have reserved a special ticket for you to sit with us in our viewing box."

The horseman sighs and says, "I am not one normally invited to...cheerful events."

Cadence frowns a little and makes her way to the bed, then climbs onto it and rolls Seven onto his back, then climbs on top of him and asks him to reconsider, "Please give it a chance, would you dear?"

Seven (Death) senses that she has something else in mind and narrows his eyes saying, "I will consider it. What else is going through that head of yours?"

She uses her nose to nuzzle his neck and says, "Oh nothing much, really...just hoping that we could try to rejuvenate your love source a bit." then slides his mask up with the tip of her nose and kisses him affectionately.

Cadence slips off of Seven and into the empty space on his bed, using her magic to then lift the sheets over her. Slowly sliding her body back over him, she continues kissing him like a lover and rubs her body up against his. Remembering she still has her ring on, she flicks her head to the side, tossing her ring off her horn and hears it strike the wall with a ding followed by a couple more as it bounces along the ground. She looks over at her discarded ring with a smile saying, "Now for one other distraction..." then takes off her crown and hangs it on a hook beside the door. Looking back down to her lover with a smile, she feels him emerge from his sheath and bites her lower lip. Lowering her upper body back down onto his, she feels his member slide up between her teats and kisses him like she used to kiss her husband before their wedding day.

The horseman feels Panoptos slip away from him and wraps his wings around the cheating love princess's back as he continues to slip from his sheath, slowly working his tongue into Cadence's mouth when he hears her swallow their combined saliva.

As their bodies grind against each other, she slides forward when a stray thought passes through her mind, 'I wonder if I should try for a second foal...' making her eyes widen for a moment before she ignores it with a grin and uses her magic to angle his member to her labia thinking, 'Perhaps I will stop taking my tea after today...I'm never going to let my husband touch me after what he's done.' then pushes herself back to drive him into her waiting tunnel. She gasps as he enters her saying, "Fuck...your s-so b-big..." then lays back down on him, feeling him press against her deepest place saying, "I love you."

Seven (Death then begins thrusting and considers something, saying, "You should cast another barrier so the passing guards don't see or hear anything." then kisses her along the underside of her neck.

Cadence quickly casts a barrier around them as she pushes herself up onto her front hooves, then starts to try to drive him into her deepest place while a moan escapes her mouth, saying, "Hahh...yes."

With the barrier up, he makes his move and says, "Are you ready for another secret of mine, dear?"

Feeling his tip ram past her barrier causes her wings to shoot out as she orgasms, sending a torrent of juices gushing out of her and along his sheath, saying blissfully, "OH YES, I'M READY! GIVE IT TO ME, BABY!"

Seven (Death) then raises his hoof to her cheek and pulls her toward him, then whispers into her ear, "I'm even bigger in my original form, let me show you..." then mumbles, "Alteya."

Cadance says, "Wha..." just as she opens her eyes to look down at her lover when she feels his member grow even longer and thicker inside of her, causing her to orgasm again and gush all over him screaming, "OH CELESTIA YES!"

A guard passes through the hall when she hears a scream of passion come from one of the rooms nearby, and decides to investigate the disturbance. When she hears another howl, she stops beside the room where the guest Seven is staying and hears a rhythmic slapping coming from within. The grunts, breathless pants, and moans make her get wetter as her thighs start to rub together, making her bite her lower lip while wondering who the lucky mare inside is.

Seven (Death) watches her eyes roll back in her head for a few moments as he runs his hand behind her neck and grabs a fistful of her colorful mane, then lightly tugs on it.

The sudden pull on her mane causes her to shudder with bliss as she then groans happily, saying, "Yes...YES! Bury your member deep into my womb and fill me up!"

The guard outside the door finds herself unable to resist peeking into the room to see the lovemaking, silently turning the handle and cracking open the door just enough to see inside. What she sees inside shocks her to her very core, making her squirt all over the floor behind her as her eyes take in the view within. Watching as Princess Cadence sits atop of a bipedal creature wearing a mask with a large member buried deep into her ruler's abdomen, she sees him withdraw it briefly and then drive it back up into her depths.

Cadance's eyes roll back to the front as she looks down to see a different being altogether. Not really caring about it, she smiles and says, "So that's what you really look like...I always suspected that you weren't actually a pony."

Death (Seven) lifts his hips off the bed with a smirk on his face and says, "I'm surprised that you could tell I was disguising my appearance, now let me drive you over the edge and into La Petite Mort." then starts to thrust up into her wildly.

The guard closes the door behind her, panting heavily as desire takes over her body, making her walk towards the barrier and pass right through it. Without removing her armor, she climbs onto the end of the bed and nuzzles underneath her princess's tail. Using her tongue to lick along his thick member, she then sucks one of his balls into her mouth as her body goes into overdrive.

Unable to stop himself, he buries himself fully into the love princess's depths and unleashes a torrent of his shadow seed while feeling his ball throb inside the warm mouth.

The princess howls out as she orgasms intensely, feeling his seed gush inside of her in large amounts, slowly able to feel her abdomen swelling. Her eyes fall closed as she pulls her lower lip between her teeth, humming blissfully as she blacks out and falls to her right side, completely unaware of the unwanted visitor.

Tasting the princess's fluids sends her over the edge, causing her to squirt onto the floor. When the princess collapses onto her right side, breathing heavily, she sees a true monster right in front of her eyes that makes her drool. Her desires drive her on as she licks up the long, thick member that would threaten to dislocate her jaw, then slips her lips over the rounded tip and starts to pleasure the male.

THIS SECTION CONTAINS DANGEROUS KINKS, SO PLEASE SKIP THE BLACKED OUT PORTION IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SNUFF FETISH! (No ponies were harmed in the writing of this story.) Curiosity killed the cat...you were warned. P.S. DON'T TRY ANY OF THIS IN REALITY AS THIS IS JUST FICTION!!

Death (Seven) watches curiously as the female guard looks up at him longingly with lust driving her, looking back at her tail as it is off to the side. Moving his hands along her back to her rear, he slips two fingers into her and says, "Intruders need to be punished." then uses his other hand to grab the back of her head and forces his member all the way into her throat.

Her eyes roll back into her head as she is used, feeling herself get even wetter as she gags and chokes on his cock. Her eyes bug out of her head as she feels him start to thrust wildly, repeatedly pressing against her stomach's opening. Her vision slowly begins to darken as she struggles to breathe when she remembers the dark fantasy she had when she was much younger, wondering if her fantasy might happen tonight, and tries to mumble out a plea.

Cadence slowly comes to hearing choking and mumbling sounds, and looks around for the source. She spots the source instantly when she sees one of her royal guards being choked by Seven's large member with heavy-lidded eyes and hears her trying to mumble out something and clears her voice saying, "I believe that this guard is trying to say something, will you please let her speak?"

The horseman lifts her head up off his cock, seeing her slightly dazed expression and says, "Speak intruder, or be silenced forever."

The guard trembles with anticipation and pants madly while nodding saying, "That's what I want... Please choke me to death with your marvelous cock, then bring me back and then fuck me to death while choking me until my heart stops, then bring me back and do it all over again until you fill my corpse with your hot seed!" then slams her head back down to his base, pushing his tip through the entrance of her stomach and hollows out her cheeks to hold herself there.

The princess is completely floored by hearing one of her subjects wanting to die, not just once, but over and over again. Watching speechlessly as Seven returns to hammering her throat, she wonders if this crystal pony is insane or just has a strange fantasy like she does.

While she struggles for air blissfully, the guard eventually loses consciousness and then finds herself floating beside the bed. Finding this a new experience, she looks down to see that her back legs and tail have joined together in a light blue, ethereal shape. With a curious gaze, she looks back to herself on the bed being throat-fucked. Noticing that her eyes are open and relaxed, she watches the brightness fade from them as her body stops breathing. Realizing that her body has died, her ghostly form shudders violently as she sprays fluid all over the wall behind her while wailing out in pleasure.

Death (Seven) looks over at the guard's ghost to see it spraying ectoplasm all over the princess's discarded ring, causing him to chuckle as he continues to thrust away into the lifeless guard's throat, saying, "I think that you have a guard here with a bit of a snuff fetish..." then buries himself to the base of her throat and then reaches out for the orgasming ghost.

The guard feels him grasp her neck and thrust her back into her body, causing it to jerk and spasm wildly while spraying the floor with her juices. When her vision returns to her, she looks up at him with affection and gives him a brief nod. She then feels him bury her nose into his groin, cutting off any hope for air as she feels a hot warmth rushing through his member and filling her stomach.

Moments pass as the guard finds herself outside her body again, knowing that she died again causes her to spray the wall again with a ghostly wail of pleasure. When the orgasm passes, she looks back to her lifeless body to see her swollen stomach just before feeling herself get shoved right back into her body.

Cadence watches with astonishment at how wildly the guard's body spasms and asks, "How are you bringing her back to life? Is it normal for a body to spasm like that?"

The horseman looks at her, slowly pulling the weak mare off his cock so that she may breathe for a while, shaking his head with a chuckle saying, "It is just one of my special abilities with being who I am. To answer your other question, no it is not. She shudders like that because she has an unusual kink...or sexual desire, and being brought back to life causes her to orgasm." Noticing how she looks at the guard's unfocused, blissed-out gaze, he asks, "Are you curious to what it feels like?"

Opening her mouth to say no, she finds herself hesitant to actually say it as some part of her deep down is curious about the feeling and finds herself saying, "Uhm.........sort of." then blushes fiercely at how her body voiced her inner curiosity without her approval.

Death (Seven) sits up in bed, dragging the guard over and laying her on her stomach, then lays down on her back and thrusts his still-hard member into her depths to earn a happy cry from the guard. He then wraps his hand around her throat and grips it firmly, asking, "Is this what you want to experience over and over?" then squeezes tighter to hinder her ability to breathe.

The guard struggles for air while feeling her virginity being taken and chokes out hoarsely, "Yes! Do it!" Her vision fades away as she finds herself floating beside her corpse again as he pounds her body's depths mercilessly, but is returned to her body once again roughly.

He thrusts away into the spasming mare as she sprays all over his groin and then tightens his hold on her throat once more to kill her saying, "If you ever see a door...don't go to it as it leads to the afterlife."

Her vision darkens again as she feels him repeatedly slam into the back of her womb, managing to choke out, "O....K..." before finding herself floating alongside the princess and her corpse once more and then shouts in a ghostly voice, "Yeah, fuck my lifeless body while I watch!"

Cadence looks around, thinking she hears whispering echoes in the room and asks, "What is going on, what are those echoes I'm hearing?"

Death (Seven) chuckles and says, "One moment while I help her understand..." then pulls out of the guard's corpse and flips the princess onto her back and sheathes his cock into her completely.

The ghost watches jealously as her killer starts making out with Princess Cadence while moving his hands up to her throat and gently squeezes while reassuring her everything will be alright.

She struggles to use her magic to pull him off as he uses one hand to hold her horn as her vision starts to darken when an orgasm hits her, causing her whole body to spasm and gush all over his groin, thinking, 'I...I don't want to die like this...'

The guard watches him thrust away when a new ghost appears beside her and bows to her, saying, "Apologies for my intrusion upon your lovemaking, Your Highness."

Princess Cadence looks around in fright at her spectral form, saying in a panicked tone, "Wha...what is this! Am I...am I dead?!"

The guard's ghost looks at her and says, "You are indeed dead, Your Highness, just look at how relaxed your body is right now."

She looks at her body on the bed as Seven thrusts away into her lifeless body as tears form in her eyes saying with a whimper, "I-I...I don't want to leave my family behind just yet." then sees a strange, shimmering door on the wall and starts drifting towards it asking, "What's that door doing there?"

The guard's ghost looks over to where she is heading and pulls her back saying, "I wouldn't go towards that shimmering door if I were you, he said that leads to the afterlife. You do want to return to your family, yes?"

The princess's ghost sighs and says, "My daughter, yes."

She then nods her head and says, "Then just hover here and enjoy the feeling when he thrusts you back into your body, its...electrifying."

Death (Seven) kisses Princess Cadence's neck and looks into her dulling, lifeless eyes, then looks over to the two ghosts and says, "Now let's bring you back, dear." He reaches out and grabs princess's ghost and thrusts her back into her own body, then plants his lips around hers and kisses her passionately while he waits for her to respond.

Forced to swallow saliva, Cadence's legs latch around Seven's back as she feels electricity race through her body, causing her to scream into his mouth from pleasure as she violently squirts all over his groin and thighs when her wings shoot out in orgasm.

Watching her body get knocked off the bed, the guard's ghost huffs and shouts, "HEY, BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK MY NECK, ALRIGHT?! I DO HAVE TO RETURN TO MY BODY SOON!"

Hearing the shout, she looks around to see the other pony's ghost and briefly shrieks in fright saying, "Wh-Who is that!?"

Pulling out of her as he is close to his peak, he leans over the edge of the bed and picks up the guard's cooling corpse and thrusts his cock back into her and says, "That is the soul of the guard here." then reaches out with his other hand and grabs her, then returns her to her body.

Cadence watches as the mare's dull eyes return to life, hearing her gasp for air before crying out in bliss when her orgasm hits. Watching as he buries himself into her depths and lays on top of her to kiss her passionately while he fills her with his seed.

The guard locks her legs around his back as she feels her abdomen swell up while trying to shove her tongue into his throat, pulling away several moments later whispering to his ear, "Thanks for killing and filling me, but I have to return to my guard duty now."

Death (Seven) watches the guard get off his bed onto wobbly legs and makes it out the door, giggling softly and madly the whole way before looking back with hearts in her eyes and saying, "If you ever need me for anything, I'm your guardmare, my name's Shadow Crystal."

The princess watches the door close and then dispels the protection shield she cast and replaces it with the proper one with an annoyed huff toward seven and saying, "Thank you for that lovely little death experience, if you hadn't warned us against strange doors, I might have moved to the afterlife. If I had actually died, you would be in a world of trouble dear!"

He then looks at her and rolls her onto her stomach, then lifts her hips into the air with his hands around her neck, saying, "Don't act like you didn't enjoy yourself when you came back, my groin and legs are completely soaked because of you and that other mare." Thrusting himself back into her womb, he then asks, "Would you like to feel that again?"

Cadence blushes fiercely as she wraps her tail around his waist and says softly, "Yes."

Death (Seven) then pulls back and thrusts in again harder, asking, "I'm sorry, what did you ask?"

Feeling her inner coil tighten up again, she then lifts her head up and nips his earlobe asking, "Please murder me again and fill me with your seed."

He starts to strangle her and then whispers to her ear, "Very well, I am all too willing to fill you until you can't walk."

She smirks at hearing that as her vision starts to dim and says with her last breath, "Promises, promises..." before finding herself beside her body again.

END OF SCENE, PLEASE ENJOY THE REST OF THE STORY!

Cadence wakes up to find herself with a burning need to race to the bathroom and hurries out of the warm bed, then gallops towards the room's toilet and hops onto the toilet and relieves herself. Once she's done, she sighs with relief at not feeling so bloated anymore and looks back to her still-sleeping lover. Making her way over to him on slightly wobbly legs, she kisses him on the lips saying, "I must shower before starting my daily duties, make sure to double-check your appearance before you exit your room. I look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks for the Equestria Games, have a safe trip back to Ponyville dear."

Later that morning, Rainbow sees Seven stepping off the train and flies over to him saying, "Dude, where've ya been the past few days?!"

Seven (Death) cocks his head and says, "I have been freezing my tail off while chasing after a creature of interest, what did I miss?"

She then gets up into his mask and says excitedly, "THE MOST EXCITING THING EVER! I WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE WONDERBOLT RESERVES, THEY'RE THE ABSOLUTE BEST FLYERS IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA...AND I'M ON THE RESERVES! OHMYGOSH I'M SO EXCITED, I CAN'T WAIT FOR A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY JOIN THE WONDERBOLTS!"

The horseman looks at her and blinks coolly, saying, "Well, congratulations to you I guess if it's something you really wanted that badly."

Weeks pass as Seven does his very best to avoid the ponies, choosing to fill his time by flying to Canterlot Castle to spend several nights with Princess Luna. Managing to keep her from talking about having children during his visits, he eventually finds himself at the Crystal Empire in Luna's bed next to her when he hears her gasp and asks, "What happened?"

Princess Luna gets up and kisses him on the lips quickly, saying, "This is urgent, my love, I will tell you about it later, okay?" and hurries out the door to go see her sister.

After hearing of her return to Canterlot a few hours later, he flies to Canterlot to find all three princesses in the throne room and trots towards them. Noticing that they all seem very weary with Celestia's and Luna's mane and tail not flowing as they should and asks, "What is going on with the three of you, why do you look so...exhausted and weak?"

Celestia looks at Seven Selbs and says, "You should not be here, Seven, there is a dangerous criminal on the loose that steals magic. Please go before he comes here."

Seven (Death) cocks his head and huffs saying, "HMPH, I'd like to see him try to steal my powers from me. Who is this criminal that plagues you, I will see to it they never trouble you again."

Luna weakly makes her way toward her coltfriend and leans up against him saying, "We have set a plan into motion already, my love. The villain's name is Lord Tirek and we have given all our powers to another to safeguard, I assure you, we have everything well under control, so please get away from here before..." she is then interrupted by heavy footsteps and sighs heavily, pleading, "Will you do me a favor and please keep out of sight, I don't want anything to happen to you. All Lord Tirek wants is our magic, I assure you...so hide, pleease."

The horseman sighs audibly and grumbles, saying, "Fine, but if he harms a hair on your head, I will make him pay dearly." then makes his way behind the dais under the throne when he hears Cadence harshly tell him not to kill him, which causes the other two to look at her with surprise and curiosity.

Seven (Death) continues to stay behind the dais as Cadence blushes fiercely, then tells them she will explain later when he hears the doors get torn open by something massive. The stomping gets much closer and then ceases, with him listening eagerly for what is going to happen next.

Tirek picks up Celestia first in his magic and then opens his mouth wide, trying to suck out her magic when nothing comes from her horn. Agitated at not getting anything from her, he asks, "What have you done?!" then goes to the other two to suck theirs out. When he gets nothing at all, he screams, "WHERE IS YOUR MAGIC?!?"

As Celestia start to talk to Tirek, Panoptos speaks into the horseman's mind saying, 'I've studied Tirek when he and his brother Scorpan first came here through a portal, and I know there is no way for him to steal your powers from you whatsoever. I would recommend stepping in only if things start to take a turn for the worse and threaten our plans.'

The horseman keeps quiet and replies with a thought, 'Very well, I do hope I get to unleash a little pent-up rage on him...' He patiently waits to act when he hears Tirek mention Cerberus and looks around the dais to see him throw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence into another dimension. The sight of seeing Tirek throw them away like useless trash makes his eyes glow angrily as he clenches his teeth and prepares to walk out to confront him.

Panoptos pops out of the horseman, knowing he is enraged, he tries to calm him saying into his mind, 'Now now, Master Death, let's try to keep a calm mind about this...it may look like they are gone for good, but it is only the prison dimension of this world called Tartarus. It is actually where he was imprisoned when his brother betrayed him and returned to their home world, you are going to listen to me, I hope?'

With a low, angry grumble, he replies to him with just one word full of anger, 'No...' and starts to make his way around the dais as the blood pounds in his ears, drowning out the following conversation.

Discord looks at the new pendant while following Tirek through the Throne Room when he hears steady hoofsteps behind him, saying, "Oh, there's a pony right over..." and freezes in place while he spots the horseman heading towards him and Tirek, when the next word falls out of his mouth like his last breath, saying, "there." and begins to sweat nervously, hoping that he escapes with his life today.

Tirek looks to his right at a window depicting another alicorn, then turns around to face Discord to ask about it when he notices another pony calmly approaching them and cackles saying, "Oh look, another pony wants to give their magic to us." then starts to walk towards them adding, "How brave of you to acknowledge your better, I shall allow you to watch over a territory in my name."

Seven (Death) chuckles at hearing his preposterous words and says mirthfully, "Oh, how amusing...you think you're my better." and laughs in a much darker, threatening tone, adding, "You should be begging me for mercy after what you did to the princesses of this land..."

Unamused by his threat, he glares at him and shouts, "THERE IS NOPONY MORE POWERFUL THAN ME!" then prepares to fire a beam of magic at him.

The horseman makes his way towards Tirek, briefly glancing at Discord as he passes by him, trembling violently at being in his presence. Paying him no mind, he then says, "I can think of several that can quite literally wipe the floor with you or their ass if they wanted to, me included. Let me introduce myself properly..."

Discord remains in the exact same place, unwilling to move anymore than he already has by watching Death walk by in his pony form and hears him whisper, "Alteya" Hearing that word causes Discord to gulp fearfully, thinking, 'Oh shit, I hope I don't die here...'

Tirek looks at the pony as their form changes to being a pale, bipedal creature with grayish-black hair and two metallic sticks at his sides, saying in amusement, "What are you, some kind of pathetic Minotaur?!"

Death (Seven) scowls at Tirek and says, "You dare to insult me? Time to teach you some manners..." then switches to his reaper form to beat him to an inch of his life.

All color fades from Discord as he looks upon Death's actual form, watching every movement in awe-struck terror as Death charges Tirek and grabs him by his horns. He then swiftly jerks him off his feet and slams him against several of the one-piece white marble columns, sending fractures racing throughout each of them with each collision.

Deciding to give him a chance to beg for mercy, he grabs him by the tail and then swings him over his head to the left and slams him into the ground, then again to the right to form another crater in the marble floor polished to perfection. Releasing his hold on his tail, he points a skeletal finger at the battered Tirek to shout, "Return the princesses and I might grant you a swift death, deny me and you will die slowly..."

Tirek looks up from the bottom of the crater in the floor with one eye swollen shut as his body trembles with fear at the skeletal being facing him wearing a cloak that hides his face and body, having two large wings on his back. Unwilling to surrender, he glares and spits at him saying, "I'm not afraid of a measly skeleton like you, they will remain in Tartarus forever!"

Discord watches with bated breath as Death draws his scythe and uses the haft and the side of the blade to ruthlessly bat him around the throne room like a ball, destroying the dais and throne as well as causing one or two columns to collapse while every inch of the walls and ceilings have cracks running through them.

Death (Seven) grips Tirek by the throat and pulls him close, glaring into his eyes with all his rage and says, "Last chance...return the princesses or die excruciatingly slowly as I carve every piece of hide off your body one slice at a time..."

He weakly grabs onto his arm as blood runs out of his nose and spits in his face saying, "I won't surrender, so fuck off!" while barely able to prevent pissing and shitting himself in abject fear of what this creature might be.

With an annoyed sigh, the horseman then tosses him into the air with one hand saying, "So be it, I guess you love pain." then twirls his scythe around behind his back stylistically and then prepares to carve the first piece off of his face when he hears a feminine voice say into his mind, "PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM OR I WON'T FINISH THE SEAL!" The voice clearly belongs to Equis, which causes him to growl angrily and use the end of the spear to strike him. Using the various blunt places on the spear to keep him in the air, he hits him between the legs as hard as he can to send him careening up toward the ceiling while holding his family jewels and puking his guts out. Swiftly spinning around to his left, he holds his scythe by the very end with the blade facing to the right and sees Tirek almost to the floor. Bringing his scythe back like a baseball bat, he maintains his counter-clockwise spin and bellows, "NOW....BEGONE!" while smacking him dead center in the chest with the very back of the blade near the end of the shaft.

He coughs up blood from the brutal strike and feels his sternum crack in several places when he slams through several walls before finding himself sailing through the air, eventually crashing into the ground and skidding to a stop with his mouth completely full of dirt and rocks.

Death (Seven) looks at Discord and huffs with annoyance, shifting from his reaper form back into his humanoid form saying, "If this plan fails because of your stupidity, you will answer to me for it. Now begone from my sight."

Discord nods hastily and darts away, leaving a brown brick on the floor where he hovered. Quickly looking for where Tirek landed, he follows a long skid trail to find him back on his feet walking oddly and sniffling. He approaches him cautiously and says, "Well it is good you survived, now how will we get more power?"

Forcing himself to ignore the nearly crippling pain from his balls, he looks at him and asks, "What was that image of another alicorn, was that supposed to be funny!?"

After telling Tirek about Twilight and her friends, they make their way towards Ponyville to draw her out.

Death huffs in irritation at Equis's meddling as he makes his way out of the castle to a spot outside the city, making his way down the mountain the slow way to maintain his energy. He stops along the path a couple of hours later to see a grand battle of power somewhere near the badlands, but slowly comes to a sudden stop. Remaining there and watching for a few minutes, he then sees Tirek towering over the trees below and using magic beams to destroy the forest with glee. Sighing, he says, "It appears that their grand plan had failed them, time for me to claim a soul..."

As he heads down to the ground, he sees a brightly shining sphere in the sky that attacks Tirek's large form with beams of lavender, pink, light blue, white, orange, and yellow. He watches as Tirek slowly gets smaller and asks, "What in the world is going on, what is that power?" When the sphere rises up higher and bursts apart, sending out a multicolored wave, he watches as he spots six ponies racing across the sky. With nothing better to do, he makes his way to where he last spotted Tirek.

Passing along the outskirts of Ponyville, he watches a rainbow suddenly streak through the sky and slam into the ground a few hundred yards from him. Spotting an object flying through the rainbow, he watches it sink into the ground as the ground starts to rumble and crack. Watching curiously as the point of a star rises towards the sky, followed by the rest of a large structure, he soon realizes that it is a castle and chuckles saying to Panoptos, 'Equis may have actually saved the plan...' He sees a flash on the path leading to the castle and sees the six friends standing in front of it suffused with a strange force, slowly returning to their previous appearances. He then spots the three princesses walking up the path behind them, giving a slight nod toward Princess Luna, who looks at him with a relieved smile. Blowing a kiss to her with his hoof, he then continues on his way to search for Tirek.
