DarkSiders: Apocalyptic War

It was a cold day. Humanity was safe for a long time under the protection of the horsemen. I was riding when a horn blew. I came to see that every horsemen was here. War, Death, Strife, Fury, Madison, Aaleyha, Anna, and me. "Death. What did you call this meeting for?" I asked. "The world is in danger. I fear that even we can cause an apocalypse." said Death. "What do you mean brother?" said Strife. "We are at Civil War!" said War. "I can't be! How long have we protected the world by ourselves! Huh? We all have different blood, but we all are family Death! Why are we at civil war?" I said. Death turned and said," Because of you." "What?" said Aaleyha. "Ever sense you gone rogue, you've been gaining more power. I fear you will betray us and become the powerful-est horsemen ever. And take over the world!" explained Death. "I would never do the same! Earth is my home! I came from here! I would never betray you. But it's to late for me. The war has started, humanity is at stake now." I explained. Then we all left. I then realized that something was wrong. But it was to late to say anything. "Everybody is taking sides. The four horsemen vs. the new dawn of the horsemen. Death lead the four horsemen forever and will lead them in this battle. We need to fight back as hard as we can." I explained to Madison, Anna, and Aaleyha. "How are we going to fight the four powerful-est horsemen?" asked Aaleyha. "I don't know." said Anna. "We fight! Until we can convince them that this is just a mistake." said Madison. "That won't be enough Madison. I fear that one of the seven deadly sins are behind this. I fear that it's Envy." I explained. "Didn't you just kill them?" asked Madison. "I did. But Envy didn't seem right. I don't know. Maybe Death grown weary of me." I explained. Then a cannon ball hit the base that we were in. "We are under attack!" I said. I looked outside to see that it wasn't the 4 horsemen attacking. "It's humans! They are attacking us!" I yelled. "We got to defend ourselves!" said Madison. "No! We swore to never harm humanity! We need to run!" I explained. After five hours of being chased we found an abandoned house. "This look's like a good place to hid." said Anna. "It is. Good job Anna!" I said. After we rested I got up and found a different type of weapon. It was a cannon the could be fired from a hand. "This could be useful." I said to myself. I then looked at the supplies and saw we had no more food. So I went out the house and started hunting. I found a deer and I threw my scythe at it. I hit it's neck and it fell, but it was still alive. "Shhhhhh." I said. I put my hand on it's head and peacefully snapped it's neck. After gutting the deer I gathered all of it's meat. After returning to the abandoned home I saw that it was on fire. "Not good!" I said running to the house. I went to the house to see that everybody was fine. "What happened?" I asked. "After you went hunting humans threw a lamp in the home. I saw it before it could harm us and woke up everybody. Then the next thing know is that you came here." explained Madison. "What's next?" asked Anna. "We fight!" I said. Then We all got on our horse's and we rode off. Our first target is War.

We rode five days strait, and what we saw was the unthinkable. Humanity was dying. People burned to death, committing suicide, for they could not bear anymore for this war. "We are almost at War's location. But we need to be prepared. War is the youngest horsemen and Death would do anything for his brother's and sister." I said. After we stopped we saw that War was waiting for us. "Well, the four new horsemen are here to kill me? Or just convince me?" said War. "War! Look at humanity! People are dying because of Death declaring this war. Please. Help us end this war!" asked Madison. "Wait!" I said. I looked to see that War was ready to fight. "ATTACK!" said Death. "It's a trap!" said Anna. Then we all pulled out our weapons. After a very bloody battle we all were very injured. War was ready to finish me off when he was shot by Madison with the hand held cannon. "Wait, wait! I yield! I will serve with you to end this war!" said War. "I need some help." I said. After I was helped up we all were healing our wounds. "If I wasn't so injured I could heal us all quickly and less painfully. Unless..." I said. "Unless what Shane?" said Aaleyha. "What is it?" said Anna. "Tell us Brother." said War. "It could kill me, or brutally harm me. But I could heal all of you." I explained. Then I started to heal everybody, however what happened is that I received more injuries. "Why did you do that Shane?" asked Madison. "I can't tell... For now." I said.(You guys will find out in the next book.) "Well. What's our next target?" asked Aaleyha. "It's Strife." said War. The others are going to this location. Boston. We can convince Strife there." explained War. "Let's go then." said Anna. "Wait! What about Shane?" asked Madison. "Where is he?" asked Aaleyha. "We'll find him." said War. Over 500 miles away I was riding. "Not good. I'm bleeding worse than ever. I need to find something to help me." Then I saw Strife. "Red Death! Yield and I will make your death a peaceful one." said Strife. "Never!" I said. After a very painful fight I was knocked down. Ready to die. "Do...You...Yield?" asked Strife. I looked up and saw Madison. Then war knocked Strife down and said, " Brother, please yield. Humanity's protection is our objective. Not winning a war. Please. Help us for humanity." pleaded War. "Fine. I will help you." said Strife. "Shane! That was a foolish move. Why did you leave?" asked Madison. "I'm sorry. I wanted to find something to heal me. Then I found Strife." I wanted to help more." I said. Well that was foolish Shane." said Aaleyha. "However our next target is Fury. She is going to be hard." I said. "Hey Red Death. Here's a healing potion. I was going to use it but you need it more." said Strife. "Thank you." I said. After consuming it it only healed me halfway. The rest need time. "So wheres Fury?" I asked. "Right here." said Fury.

"Fury!" I said. "Well! Two of my brother's are convinced of the new horsemen. Well I'm not!" said Fury. "We outnumber you sister, 6-1. Please surrender! Or we must fight!" said War. "I'm not so easily convinced." said Fury. Then we all took out our weapons. After a long and hard battle I turned into my fire reaper form, then Fury said," You made it this far. But now you WILL SEE MY FURY!" I then started to come to Fury. Almost downed I knocked Fury down and held my Fire Scythe at her neck. Fury laughed and said," I yield. But I'm not your servant." said Fury. Over ten day we found the location of Death. My wounds still deep and fresh I saw that I was losing my power. "Okay! We are hear. Death is very powerful. He is not far. But if he finds us he could kill us all." said Fury. "Great. Death is close. Gone rogue. And look at me! I still have wounds still as deep as ever. I'm not healing." I said in anger. I then stormed off in a fit full of rage. "What is up with Red Death?" asked War. "I don't know. But I'll talk to him." said Fury. "No. Let us talk to him." said Aaleyha. Then Anna, Aaleyha, and Madison walked to the room. "Shane?" asked Anna. "Yeah?" I asked. "What's wrong?" asked Aaleyha. "Were hear for you." said Madison. I sighed and said,"Death. I am an opposite horsemen of him. How am I going to defeat him. My power's have never faded, until now. This war is making me grow weaker. Now I have to face Death himself. You know what. f**k it. Let's go save the planet." I said. Then I got on my horse ready. After we all were ready we rode to Death. "Red Death. You may die. This war is making your horsemen more human." said Fury. "Got that." I said. "There he is." said Aaleyha. We all stopped to see he was ready for a fight. "Stand down Red Death. Your becoming human again. I'll give you a peaceful death.' said Death. "Sorry. Humanity is my mission. No. Our mission. To protect." I said. Then I got shot by Death. "Then a fight it is." said Death. Then after many bloods spilled we all turned into our most controlled and powerful forms. Then Aaleyha, Anna, Madison, and me turned into our reaper forms. Then Aaleyha cut Deaths weapons off and armor. Anna then knocked Death down. Madison then grabbed Death and threw him to me. Then I grabbed him and impaled him, not enough to kill him. Then I said," Do you yield?" "I yield." said Death. Then I was shot on my mask. Then my mask fell off. Then we heard laughter. "I KNEW IT! You horsemen are so easily distracted I gained every horsemen ability."said somebody. "No, it's Envy! But Fury and I killed you!" I said. "No you thought you did. You see Lust made a illusion of me that you killed. Then I turned you against one of another, then I gained power, as you lost it. NOW I'M INVINCIBLE!" said Envy. Then after another very bloody battle I was almost defeated. "You are weak! Your human! YOU...WILL...DIE!" said Envy. "Think again." said Death. Then everybody helped me. Then I grabbed my scythe and impaled Envy. "Now humanity is safe. And you die." I said. Then a red flame surrounded me. Then I turned back into Red Death, with a new ability. It was Illusion. I could make any Illusion, and undo it. "Well next?" asked Aaleyha. "We rebuild." said Death. Then I walked off. "Shane!" said Anna. I looked behind in disappointment. "It's better that you all stay away from me. I cause nothing but trouble. I am dangerous to you all. So I'm leaving." I explained. "Shane! Your not leaving us." said Madison. "Exactly!" said Anna. "We are your friends!" said Aaleyha. "Yeah and what did I do for you!" I said. Nobody had an answer yet. "Exactly." I said. Then I rode off. "Shane!" said everybody. "No! Let him go. He need to find out what he is." said Death. Then everybody rode off. Then I looked back," This is the better choice for them." I said.
