Void woke to the smell of smoke. He leapt out of bed and ran to the window to look outside.

The town was ablaze.

Ponies of all shapes and sizes ran about the streets in an absolute frenzy of fear as the town was slowly engulfed by the never-ending fire. Void watched in disgust as he saw ponies from Equestria lighting building with torches and spells. He kept his eye on one figure in particular. It was a pony draped in a long black cloak with a silver skull on its right shoulder. It had a full set of night black body armor with a purple trim. Void looked down at the pony and watched as it turned to meet his gaze. He shuddered as he felt the ponies eyes pierce into the deepest regions of his soul. All he felt was death. Pure and simple death. The pony broke his gaze and returned to decimating the town. Void collapsed to the floor gasping for air. Nightstroke ran out of the bed and went to his side to help him. Realization slowly struck Void. It was the opposite feeling of when he'd looked into the eyes of the element of life. What he had just stared at was the element of death.

He looked out the window to have his idea confirmed. He watched as the pony raised his hoof and the souls of nearby ponies were wrenched from their bodies and swallowed by the pony. Void and Nightstroke quickly went downstairs to find Mystic already preparing to fight. Mystic ran out into the streets and began to mow down the ponies from Equestria. Void and Nightstroke grabbed their weapons and went outside to help as well.

Mystic ran straight to the castle to protect Leeroy, as was their job. Nightstroke formed a pair of wings out of pure dark energy and took to the sky. Void took main patrol on the streets and preformed crowd control. Void ran down the street, dismembering anything that posed even remotely a threat. Nightstroke patrolled the sky, shooting down any Equestrian pegasi with her bow. Mystic stood in front of the main gate of the castle and waited for anyone unfortunate enough to try and break in.

-Voids patrol

Void was running down the streets when he saw a small flash on light. He jumped up, barely clearing the beam of light that shot underneath him, disintegrating anything it touched. He landed on one of his front hooves and fired a small ball of energy back in the general direction of the beam. The figure shot another beam of light, going right through the ball of energy. Void quickly flipped to his feet and placed the edge of his blade in the path of the beam. He split it down the middle, causing it to shoot to his right and left. His attacker stepped out of the shadows and Void was surprised by what he saw. It was a filly. She looked to be no older than maybe eight or nine. He glared at him and her eyes began to glow. Void watched as particles of light began to condense around her mouth. She opened her mouth and shot out a beam of pure light. Void opened a portal and absorbed the attack. He returned the beam of light at her, but he his surprise, she just re-absorbed it and then launched it back at him with double the power. Void didn't have enough time to create another portal so he jumped out of the way of the beam. The beam plowed through several houses until it detonated, destroying multiple homes. The filly laughed at him as it chased him through the streets. Void stopped running and opened a portal. He'd never tried it, but he figured it was worth a shot. He jumped into the portal and it closed. The filly looked around confused. She wasn't sure if he had just killed himself, or if he had just ran away. She felt her hoof starting to fall and looked down to see a portal had been created underneath her. She fell into the portal and found herself in a world made completely of darkness.

"Wha… where am I?"

"You're in 'die Leere', or, 'the void'."

"What's that?"

"It's my dimension. It is the area between time and space. It obeys none of their rules and operates solely on my command. In here, I am a god. I don't have to obey the laws of time, space, physics, or anything else."

The filly looked around, but still saw nothing. In frustration she shot a ball of light into the darkness. Within seconds of flying, the ball exploded into a rainbow poof of smoke.

"Well that's new. What're you gonna do, rainbow me to death?"

"It wasn't supposed to do that! Why did it do that! What did you do!?"

"There's no use in me explaining it to you. Besides, by the time I finish, your entire existence will have already ceased to exist."

The filly looked at her hooves and noticed that bits of it were falling off and dissipating into the air.

"What did you do to me?!"

"Me? I didn't do anything. Like I said, this is my dimension, my world, and in my world, if you aren't me, then you can't exist, physically or spiritually. You will continue to wither away until you either leave the dimension or you die."

The filly let out a cry of rage and swung one of her hooves at the darkness, only to have the hoof shatter and dissipate. She watched as the muscle and fur on her arm was ripped from her bones and disintegrated. She let out one last cry of agony as her body was broken down into its basic elements. Void opened the portal and re-entered the dimensional plane. He began to walk back to where Mystic was when he saw something. At the end of the street stood the stallion that he had seen earlier. In his arms was Nightstroke, dead. By his side stood Mystic. Mystic had a look on his face of disgrace and disgust. Void let out a roar as he charged at the stallion. The stallion just took Nightstrokes carcass and tossed it at Void, causing Void to stop dead in his tracks. The stallion just laughed and then murmured something to Mystic. Mystic walked towards Void and took off the top half of his cloak so it hung from his waist. In the center of his chest there was a massive tattoo of a closed eye. Mystic sighed, "I'm sorry Void, but it's for the best."

The eyes on Mystic's chest opened. The tattoo eyelids pulled back to reveal a 2 foot tall, one foot wide, legitimate eye. The retina's were a dark red. The eye lit up, "What are you doing?"

Mystic just sighed and then met Void's eyes with his own, "vollständigen Besitz".

The eye flashed and Void collapsed as his mind overloaded from the power of Mystic's vollständigen Besitz, or complete possession. Void laid on the ground, completely incapacitated as Mystic and the stallion made their way back to Equestria to celebrate their victory.
