Blood Fang laughed as he watched over Equestria from the modified cloud he used as a base. The feeling that he soon was going to destroy it was overwhelming. The only issue was that he needed the spark of chaos needed to start it.

Three ponies entered his chamber in the cloud base. One pegasus, one unicorn and an earth pony.

"Ah. There you three are. Finally." He smirked and looked at them. "Fleshwound, Backstab and Metalwings."

Fleshwound was the Earth Pony. He was dark red with red and black hair and red eyes. Besides him was Backstab standing. He was a dark green unicorn with green and black hair and also red eyes. Metalwings was standing besides them both. He was light grey with a metallic mane and wings made of razor sharp steel, and also red eyes. They all had a pentagram in a circle as their cutiemark.

Blood laughed a bit. "We all know that the last group leaders failed, but they didn't have the same training and powers as you guys."

Metalwings nodded. "They were weak and had no special abilities."

Blood nodded in agreement. "That's what we get for putting normal ones in the leader role."

Metalwings grinned. Even his teeth were made of steel.

"Anyways. We appear to have a reaper issue. A reaper named Horror movie have assembled a team of rookies and stopped several of our missions. It's really annoying, but he did." Blood growled. He hated that name so much. It was the name of a rookie who had survived the slaughter a hundred years ago.

The three whispered a bit, and Metalwings turned. "I can deal with him. And I'll cause some mayhem at the same time."

Blood smiled. "Please do so."

Metalwings grinned and took flight, vanishing fast.

Haze opened his eyes, staring into the night sky. He could hear the voices of the others and he got up. He turned and trotted over as they were sitting around a small fire.

"What happened?" He looked around, trying to focus on the surroundings.

"You were out cold for a while after we gave you that antidote." Director nodded. "But come over here and sit down with us. Blue was about to tell a story."

Behind them was Ponyville. It was a quiet place now as the night had fallen and everypony were asleep. The moon was high in the sky, and the stars shining brightly.

Blue grinned and stood up, letting the flames cast a shadow over her face. "Once upon a time, in the Everfree forest was there a Pony named Diamond Hooves. He was a miner, and had been mining for ages, when he one day found this shrine. What he didn't know was that this shrine was holding a demon spirit, and when he entered it was this spirit awakened. It rushed for him and…"

A scream came from the Ponyville. Then another one. Ponies were now waking up too, as more screams came, from different areas, one at a time.

"What the…" Director was the first one to stand up as a grey pegasus landed in front of them. He had steel wings, and the winds were covered in blood.

"Look what I found." The pegasus grinned. "Four unarmed reapers?"

"How did you know!" Director growled. He gestured that the others should get their equipment ready.

The pegasus laughed. "My master told me. He also told me to kill you, and this puny town too. Are you all ready to die? Just stand in a line and I'll…"

Director Cut kicked him, hard. "Just shut your piehole already!"

Behind them was the others getting their boxes ready, opening them and entering their reaper shape.

Darth Star was the first to return. "We'll hold him back. You should get yourself ready."

Director nodded and galloped over to the wagon. He opened the box. It flickered.

"What's doing on." It was Death.

"If I knew myself would I have told you. All I know is that we're attacked by a pegasus, with steel wings who've probably murdered several ponies already, and also knows that we are reapers."

Death growled. "His name is Metalwings. He has the highest price on his head that's yet been counted. He is fast, his wings are sharp and he enjoys murdering innocent ponies. And he's a member of the Discordian Cult."

Director sighed. He hated that cult so much. "If we're going to battle him now will it be a great risk. Ponies may see us."

Death sighed. "That doesn't matter now. We'll have to sacrifice our cover to stop him before he kills more ponies. Celestia have been notified and she'll come once he's been taken care of."

Director nodded and quickly entered his reaper shape, flying over to the others who were struggling to keep Metalwings away from them. "It's official. We don't have to hold back."

Miasmic looked at him. "Are you serious? What about the code?"

Stormy sighed. "Screw the code. There is more at stake than our identities now."

The all nodded and attacked Metalwings together.

The Mayor was looking around, worried. She had heard about the murders, and they were all confusing. Random ponies had been targeted, and sliced in half. Hopefully was this the only problem.

A stallion rushed in. "Mayor! We have a problem!"

"What is it? More murders?" she was not in the mood to hear about more dead ponies.

"No." he shook his head. "We have found the murderer, and he's battling four alicorns. I don't know who any of the four are, but I think we've seen two of them before."

"What!" She was almost instantly dashing for the door, soon following the mass of ponies that wanted to spectate the battle.

Horror Movie didn't like what he saw. More and more ponies were showing up to spectate the battle. They were all in danger here, but it didn't look like they minded.

"Damn!" Miasmic growled as yet another binding spell was cut apart by Metalwings' sharp wings. "We can't stop this asshole!"

Stormy sighed. "Well duh. His wings are sharp. The only way we can stop him is by killing him."

"Are you nuts? Slaughter somepony in front of so many ponies?" Even Miasmic hated this idea.

"It's the only way." Horror sighed as he narrowly evaded a sharp wing.

Darth Star growled. "Stop talking and attack!"

Metalwings just laughed. "You are all slow. You will never hit…"

Miasmic cast a spell on him that sent him backwards into a tree. "You should shut up to…"

Stormy used the chance, and shot a bolt of lightning at his metal wings.

Metalwings was just recovering when it hit. He yelled in pain as his wings were immobilized. "What? No… No, no, no! This can't be happening!" he turned, just to be facing four angry reapers.

Darth Star growled. "Any last wishes?"

Metalwings started laughing. "Oh! The irony! You're all beasts! Monsters! And yet you say that sentence! It's hysterical!"

Horror Movie growled. "Stand back." His horn glowed, and so did Metalwings. "Reaper Spell number XIII. Incinerate."

Metalwings just grinned as his whole body dissolved into ashes, just to be carried away by the wind.

Horror turned to the others. "We have to get away, fast!" he used magic to secretly remove the wheel blocks on the wagon, so it started rolling away, into the Everfree Forest. "Off we go!"

All four reapers took flight before the Mayor or any of the villagers of Ponyville had reached them, vanishing over the Everfree Forest. They could see Celestia in the distance, but that wasn't their thing to worry about. They had done their job, and that was it. They landed by the cart, deep inside the forest, changing back to their normal shapes. This had been a tough battle.

Backstab walked into the throne room of the Discordian Cult base. "Blood. Metalwings have fallen."

Blood laughed. "And the wheels start turning. Prepare for phase two!"

Backstab nodded and bowed. "Right away!" he then galloped out, closing the door behind himself.
