It was a peaceful day in Equestria. There was nothing going on in Ponyville. Well, apart from a certain disaster that was soon brought upon them.

Twilight, on the other hoof, decided to continue her studies in her library when something caught her attention. A book she had never seen before or even knew existed. The book was called "The Fallen Demi-God".  She decided to read it even though she did not believe that there ever was something called a "demi-god".  Soon, a purple-scaled and green spiked baby dragon named Spike came into the room.

"Hey Twilight, whatcha reading?" Spike asked.

"Oh, it's just some old book I found laying around here." Twilight replied, never looking away from the book.

"Well, what's it about?" Spike asked, almost regretting it immediately.  Please don't say science.

"It’s about something called a 'demi-god'. I honestly don’t know why everypony thinks it's exciting to read about something that isn’t even real." Twilight said.

"You just don’t get it." The baby dragon said.

"No Spike. I don’t." Twilight responded, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

--------------------

Meanwhile on Gaea…

In a desert somewhere was a lone, angry demi-god named Asura fighting off many nightmarish creatures – the Gohma.

The Gohma are beasts of impurity, corrupted by the dark spirit of Gaea, the Gohma Vlitra.  These beasts were once normal creatures of Gaea, but now they only seek to destroy all human life on Gaea as it is the will of the Gohma Vlitra to exterminate humanity.  The Gohma bore a frightening look, their bodies black as space with blood red veins all over their bodies, and their eyes completely orange with slight glow.

Asura was used to fighting these vile beasts. Like the other Guardian Generals, he had mechanical arms that were seemingly indestructible and looked like they could easily destroy a planet, a boon that helped make short work of the Gohma.  Asura showed them no mercy as the Gohma would do the same. He punched each one of them to death as more and more came.  He grabbed one of them and tore its head clean off, throwing the lifeless corpse at another Gohma and crushed the decapitated head with his bare hands.

"WHO'S NEXT!?" Asura screamed at his enemies.

A Gohma Howler, a gorilla looking Gohma, launched itself towards Asura with its arms up in the air ready to strike. Asura quickly countered this attack by grabbing the Howler's arms and then threw it towards a larger group of Howlers.

Asura’s anger grew with each strike, making him even more powerful than he already was.  After what seemed like hours of fighting, Asura burst into flames, creating a giant ball of fire from Asura's rage.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Asura cried to the heavens as the ball of flames rapidly grew and vaporized any Gohma unfortunate enough to be caught in it.

After the flames stopped and all of the Gohma were “purified”, Asura decided to head back home.  With a running start, Asura launched himself high into the sky by punching the ground with great force. Soon afterward, Asura found himself at his home, with his lovely wife Durga and their daughter, Mithra, waiting for him outside.  One of the Guardian Generals, who was also Asura’s brother-in-law, was waiting as well.

"What do you want, Yasha?" Asura said in an angry tone, as he usually does.

"Asura, I came here to tell you personally that we must go into battle once more." Yasha said, in a clam tone that was almost completely opposite of Asura’s tone.

"Why?" Asura asked.

"The Gohma Vlitra, it’s… it’s back." Yasha answered, his voice uneasy.

Asura was shocked. “WHAT!?”

The Eight Guardian Generals had fought the Gohma Vlitra a thousand years ago, managing to successfully subdue it at the time.  While it wasn’t completely destroyed, Asura knew that the Vlitra shouldn’t be back already.

When the silence from the shock ran its course, Asura spoke.  "When do we start?" he asked, his tone angrier than before.

"Not long now. We expect it to attack tomorrow." Yasha told him.

Tomorrow? Asura thought to himself. "Who will be the priestess?" he asked, despite already having an idea of who it would be.

"I'm afraid it will have to be Mithra.” Yasha answered, his voice clam and neutral even though he didn’t want his own niece to be the priestess as well, but both he and Asura knew Mithra was the only one capable of being the next priestess.

Mithra would be collecting mantra from the prayers of the mortals. Mantra was the only thing that kept all demi-gods alive, and the more mantra they had, the stronger they became. With enough mantra, a demi-god can even get new forms that gave them incredible power, becoming much stronger, faster, and deadlier than ever before.  Mantra is also used for powering their super weapon on the head of the Karma Fortress, the Brahmastra.

"At any rate, we need to get ready; the Gohma could come at any moment." Yasha said.

"Right." Asura responded. Soon…

Asura could not sleep that night. He could not stop thinking of how the battle would go. Would they subdue Vlitra again? Would they finally kill it? Would Vlitra win and destroy humanity? He did not know. All he knew was that tomorrow, he and the other seven generals would do their best to kill it.

--------------------

Meanwhile, back at Ponyville…

Twilight had been reading the book for what seemed like ages. She was fascinated by the theory that a demi-god could potentially destroy almost anything and they fought something called the “Gohma”. Twilight yawned, knowing it was time for her to go to sleep.

I'll read it some more tomorrow, she thought.  With that, Twilight closed the book and drifted off into a blissful sleep, waiting for a new day to dawn so she can read more of the book. Little did she know that tomorrow will hold quite the surprise for all of Equestria, as a certain angry demi-god would be coming down crashing into their lives…
