The Five Gods

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As Celestia felt the air rushing through her mane, she started to remember the good parts of her life. When she saw her sister after one thousand years on the moon, when she found Twilight Sparkle and her reaction when she offered to to teach her, after she imprisoned Discord and everypony loved her, etc. etc. etc. She had a nice life, but now she felt it was time for it to end. There was a sickening crunch as every bone in her body was splintered. Her pelt was stained red, and her entire ribcage was poking out of her back. Celestia herself saw this, as her spirit floated up and away from the wreckage that was her dead body. She looked up and expected to see something glorious, but instead she saw you.

"You cannot keep me from my peace." Celestia said calmly.

"I am the keeper of souls, and I refuse to accept yours."

"But you have taken everything from me."

"Not today. Now leave this realm, it is not safe for anyone."

With that you swung your scythe and ripped her soul in half. Celestia woke up, her chest heaving, struggling to get breath. Her body was already mending, but she was sore everywhere, and she felt half dead, already not quite sure if what had happened was actually real.

Luna was sleeping peacefully in her bed in the corner, while you just sat and stared through the flaming portal. As you did this you saw something that was a larger issue. Five gods rocketed towards New-New York and spelt doom for your headquarters. You hurry outside, and lock Luna in for her protection.

"War!"

"Yes brother?"

"Prepare the legion."

"Who is coming?"

"Thor, Vishnu, Ra, Mercury, and Sobek."

"Very well."

So you and your brother began inscribing on the ground a symbol to summon the legion. It was a symbol of two connecting trees and both are flaming. When the symbol was finished the ground was set aflame and demons started to rise. Your glorious legion, the first one thousand demons to ever be created, old and powerful and undying. It was a perfect army that was never a sacrifice, since the demons could not die except by their creator's hands.

"There is a threat to the end of this world!" War began.

The legion listened intently.

"Five gods are approaching this fine factory, and all of our forces are elsewhere! If this plan is to succeed we kill them, and make sure that they do not come back! You have been more than triumphant in the past, and I expect this to be no exception!"

"We are Legion!" All thousand cried out in unison, slamming their fists into their chests.

They ran to the battlefield and arrived just as the gods landed. Thor took action immediately and swung his hammer into the head of the nearest demon, effectively turning its head into a red mist as blood shot from his neck and into the air, while his windpipe collapsed from loss of pressure. Vishnu took on his multi-armed form and used four blades to chop four demons into halves, their innards spilling out on to the ground. When Ra landed he released a beam of heat, and you watched as demons the demons had their skin melted off, landing in charred blobs on the dirt, and fell to the ground, cooked medium-well. Mercury came down but he was chopped into pieces by the immortal demons, he was unprepared for the mass of demons that jumped on him and hacked at him, but did not die until Mercury had your brother's sword driven through his bottom jaw. When Sobek landed he was protected by the scales on his body, and he started eating the demons two at a time.

"Well I guess I can't say that it is unfair!" You yell.

"Foul creature!" Thor bellows and leaps towards you.

You rush into the air to meet the foolish god, but when you reach his height you are unready, and his hammer slams into your chest. The hammer flies backwards, and Thor goes with it. You extend an arm and catch him on your scythe, his head falls off cleanly and you can see his upper throat sucking for air as his brain dies inside his skull. Vishnu saw this and chopped his way through the bloody wasteland to get to you. Vishnu was about three stories tall, with four curved blades that slice bone like butter. Vishnu swings, misses, and loses an arm. It was cut clean off, and the bone fragments spilled out with the blood. The scream of pain shook the earth as he lost another arm, his blood mixing with the dirt formed a red colored mud that he slipped in, and promptly landed on one of own swords being held by a severed arm. He lost a third appendage by doing that, and you dropped on top of him. You cut his chest, grabbed the flap of skin, and listened to a noise much like the ripping of fabric as you tore away the flesh with you bare hands. You step inside his body and splinter his ribcage to get through it, rip away the lungs as they get speared with his ribs, and shove your scythe directly into his beating heart. Blood drenched, you step out of the corpse and casually stride over to the hawk-like god melting your demons where they stand. You leap, and send your scythe through his spine, cutting away all of the nerve endings, and disconnecting the signals his brain sends to his body. Ra simply falls over and gets ripped apart, demons pulling out both sides of his spine from his back. Running over to the crocodile god that is still devouring the legion. You jump on to his snout, and shove your scythe into the top of it, piercing both of his jaws, his tongue, and the demon inside his maw. He tried to cry out but he ended up causing himself more pain as his mouth was split further. You yank the scythe out, slide under his scaly body, and slice open the lizard the entire way under. His guts spill on to the ground behind you, and it becomes more of a water slide made of blood than anything else. You chop off his tail at the base, stand up, walk over to head, and watch as the life leaves his eyes.

"Your have declared war against the archangels, and you will be punished!" An angelic voice booms from the sky.

"Come and get me then!" You yell back up to it.

You walk back to your throne room and leave the legion, now about two hundred demons, and War to clean up the bodies. As you walk in the door to your throne room the void takes away the blood from your clothes. You sit down on your throne with a thud, and summon the window with a blast that wakes up Luna.

"What's happening?" She says with yawn.

"I've started a war, love." You say, patting your knee telling her to come and sit.

Luna sat on your leg and watched the scenes with you. The pictures in the fire changed about every minute, each one hovering over the larger groups of your army. Blazing portals opening in the sky with angels pouring out of them. They flew down to the armies and they started chopping klaws to bits, and speared carriers with bolts of light. After seeng this you walk outside and slam your scythe into the ground which sends a shockwave through the cloud of shadow, ordering a retreat. You walk back inside and watch as all your troops retreat back to your city and as all the angels fly roughly in the direction of Canterlot.

"We have a lot to do Luna." You say.

"Whatever you need." She replies.

"Are the sheets clean?"

"Yes."

"I guess we'll need someone to clean them then." You say with a playful growl.

Celestia watched as angels descended from the sky, and three massive lights hit the ground with tremendous force. Realizing what they were, she walked out to meet the archangels.

"Hello Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael." Celestia said nodding to each, in turn.

All were wearing golden armor and brandished weapons of the finest craftsmanship. Raphael had light armor and a short sword, which in actuality was massive but it seemed short. Gabriel had medium armor, and a longsword. And Michael was wearing multiple three foot thick plates of golden steel that didn't show and inch of his body, and held a massive war hammer.

"You commit suicide and even Death rejects you. We will not speak to you, you are truly weak." Michael had an unbelievably deep voice.

"But these are my armies, recruited under my banner." Celestia pleads.

"We are assuming complete command, you can sit in you room and feel guilty about your sister, this is a time of great war and you do not belong on the battlefield. Where are the Elements?"

"Unless you respect me, I will not tell you."

Michael slams down his hammer in front of her, and the ground beneath her rises. She was now at eye-level with the mighty angel.

"You do not argue with me! Where are they?" He bellows in her face.

"In the throne room." Celestia squeaks.

"Thank you." He says, and Celestia falls to the ground.

"I am sorry for my brother's rudeness, he is very stressed about this." Gabriel apologized for his brother, with a voice more beautiful than any other angel.

"I understand." Was all she could say.

As the angels walked past, her entire guard looked at her, only now finding out that she had tried kill herself, and looked away from her in shame. She had no power except her own now.
