Sitting back in your throne at New-New York, still finding that name funny, you start to feel tremors. They were small tremors, but they got more powerful as it would seem they got closer. The tremors were are about half a second apart, as if an army was marching towards you. As soon as you put the pieces together you rocket into the sky, and what you see makes you burst out laughing. Ares took it upon himself to march to your city. Ten thousand ancient Spartans marching in line, and in phalanx formation, along with a large and strong looking god carrying a massive battle-axe and wearing bronze armor that covers all of his body with metal plates.

"War!" you call, landing.

"What is needed?" War says.

"Rouse the troops and charge, Ares has decided to pay us a visit."

"Very well."

All around you the army wakes and gathers at the center of the massive factory of a city whose only citizens are soldiers. The athronachs are first to act on your call, then the klaws, after that the drones, and lastly your demons. The carriers cannot maneuver easily so they stay put. War just silently walks up to a piece of wrecked building sticking out of the ground and addresses the army.

"This coward that calls himself my replacement has thought it a good idea to try and ambush us!"

The klaws started to sharpen their claws.

"He takes an army of a mere ten thousand to defeat our might!"

The demons start cheering.

"Perhaps, he is hoping for a repeat performance of three hundred for this fight, because that is all he will get!"

The drones start flying in loops.

"For even if his pathetic army puts up a fight, the most it will be is entertainment! And isn't that all we want here? Entertainment?"

The atronachs start cheering with the demons now.

"Aren't we all tired of waiting here, and doing nothing?"

The klaws start stomping.

"I say that we do something about this offense against our strength, that he would dare bring only ten thousand is an insult to our superiority!"

Weapons are being thrust into the air by cheerful demons.

"Well then, what are you waiting for? Slaughter them all and send a message! We will not be defeated! I am turning you loose upon this world, do as you wish with the inhabitants, butcher them, starve them, burn them, drown them, but show no mercy!"

The stomping and cheering is rivaling even the marching of the fast approaching army.

"Now my friends and trusted warriors, kill them all!"

With that the drones flew off, the atronachs ran, and the demons jumped on the backs of the klaws and charged. The following battle was glorious in its own right. The army surged forwards, and the first wave of klaws were skewered, pieces of exoskeleton flying. The second wave was also speared since the second wave tried to jump over them. When the third wave charged in the spartans dropped their spears and switched to testudo formation, shields making a complete box around the ancient soldiers as Ares ran into the fight and started throwing klaws into the air, some chopped into bits, and spewing blood everywhere, and some intact. Then the atronachs showed up and started peeling away the armor plates with the various elements that comprised them. After that the klaws started shredding his flesh into strips that poured blood onto the ground in rivers, but Ares didn't say a word and just kept hacking with his axe, for mortals cannot kill gods.

"Ah come on, thats not fair!" You yell to the exposed god that was slaughtering your army.

"Well come and fight me then!" Ares bellowed to you.

You flew towards him and landed in front of him. You, being the size of a tall human, were dwarfed by his height. Ares being about thirty feet tall was a monster on the battlefield, and it didn't stop him from taking a cheap shot at you. His massive axe, aimed for your head, came down only to be block by a quickly raised shadow.

"Now, now, you should know better." You growl.

The shadow that you raised, wrapped around the axe's handle, took it from him, and threw it into the formation of spartans. The spartans parted and tried to reform, but were slaughtered by a rain of tines from the drones circling above. Your scythe appears in your hand and you take of his left leg with it, and then his right leg. Ares, screaming in pain, was now brought down to your level. A duplicate of your scythe appears in your other hand and you drive both of them into his chest, blood seeping from the wounds. You then pull them out, take off his arms at the shoulders, cords of muscle pulling away from the flesh, and finally sever his head at his collar bone, and if you looked down you knew you could still see his heart beating. After that you watch as the klaws scramble and start to eat his organs that were strewn about the place and then make their way to the chest and rip massive blood-drenched chunks from it, eating them whole.

"You will have your feast tonight, and then you will scatter to take down this empire." You whisper to yourself.

After all of this you still fail to recognize any challenge that could be posed by the princesses, but then you remember the Elements of Harmony. You knew that the princesses were going to train them, but in what manner you didn't know. So you decide to hop on a drone and fly to the wreckage that is Ponyville to pay them a visit.

Twilight Sparkle was running through the books that she had read that referenced the horsemen, and could only remember seven. She looked up to the sky wondering what time it was and saw the shadow of another one of those creatures.

"Umm, ladies."

"Yes, Twilight" Fluttershy responded.

"There's another one of those flying creatures." Twilight said nervously.

With that they all ran for cover, but finding none, and noticing that the creature was landing, they came back to meet it. That's when Twilight saw you and started screaming. All of the others looked around nervously, most likely for the cover that they didn't find.

"Come down, Twilight. I'm not that scary am I?"

"You. You killed Discord. You ripped him apart right in front of me!" As she said this all of the others gasped.

"Yes I did, what is your point here?"

"What is my point?" She said, shocked at your seeming innocence. "My point is that you are a murderer who likes to watch your victims bleed out instead of die!"

"Yes I do, I find it is more fun when they put up a fight. Just killing them seems too professional, I am Death after all."
