Thank you very very much WingPwny I appreciate it a lot.This is my very first story and I hope you all like it.

                                                                                Prologue

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Vast plains of ice, ravaged by wind and wrapped with storm clouds, stretched toward an invisible horizon. Hard, icy snow whipped around occaisonal crystalline peaks before disappearing in the colorless haze. One jagged structure was noticeably different - it pulsed with darkness, as if, resting behind it, were a lightbulb that worked in reverse, stealing the light from the world instead of giving it.

That wasn't far from a horrible truth. A horse's form was slumped against the back, barely shielded from the blizzard. Rusted plates of armor hummed, their numerous dents and cracks catching the wind and singing a dying tune - inside them rested the battered, burned, but almost intangible body of King Sombra. Despite the environment, emerald fire flickered in his eye sockets, and a fire burned in his mind that he couldn't quench. He, the undisputed lord of big-ass fart clouds and mexican hats, had been vanquished not once, but TWICE by cute little ponies that he was born to rule. It was unjust. It was unnatural. It couldn't be allowed to continue. However... the king knew, though he hated to admit it, that he was too weak to have any hope of regaining his lost dignity and power - only a shadow of his former self remained.

At that moment, something changed. Sombra's immaterial ears shot up and swiveled, hearing more of the spirit world than the real one. A cry of pain, a voice chuckling. He could feel the schadenfreude reverberating through him, the joy of the antagonist - a joy similar to his own. "Perhaps," the king whispered, "perhaps this is one who I could relate to. One who could possibly heal me... might come at a price..." He had always been cautious of other great powers such as he, but here, a thousand years in the future, there were so few. "I need help... we all need help... damn it, this is my only chance."

The armor-clad figure surged to his feet. His head spun, but he shook it off and scanned the spectral plane's horizon for the source of the feeling. Blackened spikes of ice grew around his hooves as his internal compass spun, homing in on a point southeast of his position. With no other choice than to follow the darkness, his body disintegrated, armor flaking into elemental iron and aluminum. The mist of particles hovered up toward the clouds, fighting the wind, then vanished into the dim, white light of dawn.

                                                            Mean while at the source of that evil....

"This is completely outrageous! My subjects are dying one by one because of our lack of food! If only that blasted Twilight Sparkle didn't ruin my plans! Shining Armor could have been mine and we could have had enough food to last us forever! Not to mention this freezing temperature! Me and my subjects not only have a lack of food but we can not escape this imprisonment because of Shinning Armor and Princess Cadence spell that not only sent us flying, but also had a sealing spell to lock us up in this freezing waste land! If only there was a way for us to break out of here! I would do anything to break out of here and take my revenge on Princess Cadence and that little brat Twilight Sparkle!" Queen Chrysalis said as she was about to give up and end her pitiful life once and for all. In till....

Anything thing huh?

Queen Chrysalis turns around and sees a dark shadow hovering at the other side of the force field.

"Who are you?"She said in a slightly scared tone.

"Let me introduce myself." The shadowy figure said.

The shadowy figure transformed into a dark unicorn with glowing green eyes.

"My name is King Sombra former ruler of the crystal empire and you are?" He said with a grin.

Queen Chrysalis was quite surprised when the shadow transformed into a unicorn, but was still able to respond.

"My name is Queen Chrysalis ruler of the Changlings and consumer of love" Queen Chrysalis said.

"Please to meet you Queen Chrysalis. How about I set you and your Changlings free, in exchange to help me get rid of the Elements of Harmony and help take over all of Equestria?" He said with a grin on his face.

"It would be my pleasure to get revenge on those goody two shoes once and for all." Queen Chrysalis said while having an evil smile on her face.

"Then it's settled." King Sombra said with a grin.

He then used his dark magic to destroy the force field with one blow.

"But wait a minute, how are my subjects gonna fight when we have no food?!" Queen Chrysalis said in a worried tone.

"Don't worry Queen Chrysalis, your subjects can feed off of my dark magic for now in till we have conquered a town or two." he said. "Not only where they will have some energy to fight, my dark magic will also make them stronger!" He said with an evil smile on his face.

"I thank you King Sombra for helping us, we are in your debt." Queen Chrysalis said while bowing to him.

"Now then, let us be off, we need to find more allies for us to destroy and conquered all of Equestria." King Sombra said with an evil smile.

"Lets." Queen Chrysalis said also having an evil smile on her face.

They both started laughing and then flew of in the night sky.

"Princess Celestia!" a guard said while running in panic with a letter hovering above him.

"I have urgent news from Los Pegasus, they sent a SOS saying that they where under attack by a pack of Diamond Dogs." He said in a very scared tone.

"Diamond Dogs?! That's impossible, those dogs are dumber then dodo bird. How where they able to attack Los Pegasus, they couldn't have been able to because that's the seventh most safest place here in Equestria!" Princess Celestia said in a very shocked tone.

"There are about 107 royal guards there protecting it from harms way, how in the buck were they able to conquer Los Pegasus? What makes these dogs so different from the rest?" Princess Celestia said in a concerned tone.

"They where stronger, faster, and very well organized! They also just sent this message to you princess. It's from there leader." The guard said as he began reading the message.

"Greetings Princess Celestia, my army has conquered Los Pegasus and we are not done yet. You should surrender now or all of Equestria will suffer our wrath!" Signed King Sombra.

"King Sombra! But that's impossible! Twilight and her friends defeated him at the Crystal Empire! He should have been destroyed! I don't know how he has survived but we must let the others know right now!" Princess Celestia said in a very concerned voice.

She pulled out a letter and started writing.

"To my dearest and most faithful student Twilight Sparkle. I need you and your friends to come here immediately! This is very important! Bring the Elements of Harmony with you, since you will need them in the journey that I will inform you of when you all get here." Signed Princess Celestia.

She then sent the message immediately right after she finished it.

"I do hope they get here quickly." She said in a worried tone.

                                                                                  1 Hour later....

_________________________________________________________________________________________

"Princess Celestia! We came here as soon as possible! I am sorry for the wait Princess." Twilight said as she almost lost her breath from running so much.

"Don't worry about it Twilight. Now the reason why I called you all here is because I have terrible news. King Sombra has returned and he is not alone." Princess Celestia said in a concerned voice.

"King Sombra!" the main 6 said in a very shocked tone.

"But we defeated him at the Crystal Empire, how is he still alive!" Twilight said in a very shocked tone.

"I don't know how Twilight, but he is back and he has an army. It seems like he has allied with the Diamond Dogs and I don't know who else yet, but they already took over Los Pegasus. It seems like he made the Diamond Dogs much more powerful using his dark magic." Princess Celestia said in a concerned tone.

"Excuse me Princess, but..... HOW IN THE HAY ARE WE GOING TO FIGHT AN ARMY!?" Applejack yelled.

"Ya what are we going to do? Its not like we have a secret weapon or somepony that can help us win this war.Do we?"  Rainbow Dash said with a worried look on her face.

"Sadly we do not have a secret weapon Rainbow Dash, but maybe there is somepony who can help us." Princess Celestia said with a small smile

"Who?! they all said in a surprised tone.

"Not much is known about this alicorn...but he may be able to help us. For what i can remember is that this Alicorn...is Death himself." Princess Celestia said with a grin.

Fluttershy's eyes widen "D-death?...H-he sounds kinda scary." Fluttershy said in a very scared tone.

"Well...all i can remember for his personality is that, he is a very kindhearted pony, who protects ponies from harms way. But......I'm not sure how he will react to us.." Princess Celestia said in a worried tone.

"Well that Alicorn is all we have to help us win this war... Where is he?" Twilight said as she looked at the princess with a concern look*

Celestia sighed "Sadly....nopony knows where his whereabouts are....but before this situation started, i was looking through Star Swirl the Bearded library, when I found a secret chamber hidden behind a book shelf." Princess Celestia said as her tone was a bit shaky as if she was embarrassed of something

Twilight looked at her mentor with a confused look as why her mentor sounded embarrassed "How where you able to find it Princess?" Twiligh said as she looked at her mentor with curiosity in her eyes

Princess Celestia's eyes widen after she herd her student asked her that "W-well um...y-you see..um....." Celestia said in a shaky voice as if she embarrassed to say how she found it "Um...oh, now i remember! I pulled out a book and when I did, the book shelf um...disappeared, and the chamber was revealed! Yes that's it, I pulled out a book and that's how i found it, heh...." Celestia said as she rubbed the back of her head with her hoof as she looked away for a second as if she was completely embarrassed about something.

All of a sudden the doors opened behind them and spike came running through it, holding a letter in his hand. "Twilight!!!! I have a message for you!!!"

Twlight turned around and saw spike running towards her. "Spike?! What are you doing here? We all ready got the message from Celestia that we need to come here!" She said as she looked at spike as he stopped to catch his breath.

Spike took a couple of deep breaths as he stood there in front of them. After he'd finish catching his breath he began to speak. "I know, I know..but this is from Princess Luna!" Spike said as he handed her the letter.

Celestias eyes widen at the letter, because she knew what her sister must have written in there. But just before she had the chance to stop them from opening the letter, it was to late. When twilight opened the letter a magic holographic picture of Luna emerged from the letter and began to speak. "Dear Twilight, I am guessing thou has made it to thy throne room by now and are speaking to my sister. By now my sister must have told you a lie on how she found that hidden chamber thou has spoke of." The holographic Luna looked up at towards Princess Celestia who was sweating a bit but looking at the holo-Luna with anger.

After 5 seconds of Celestia glaring at holo-Luna and holo-Luna smirking at Celestia, holo-Luna spoke again. "Sister, you mustn't lie to our friends and subjects, what kind of example are you setting as Princess of thou Sun? You must show them thy truth, instead of lies, or else I will have to show them my self. Its your choice Sister. Take care everpony!" Holo-Luna grinned before her image disappeared. Celestia was quite upset but instantly cooled down after seeing, her student and her friends looking at her with concern eyes.

"Princess, tell us what really happened." Twilight said at her teacher with a bit of disappointment in her teacher for lying.

Celestia sighed and looked at them with a bit of sadness and guilt. "Fine....I'll will tell you what happened......better yet, I'll show you what happened..." She said as she used her magic to show them what really happened on a magic hologram from her memories.

What really happened

When she used the spell, it showed her memories in third person view. After 6 seconds Celestia started to speak. "There has to be a spell in one of these books that lets you be great at video games! I'm tired of my little sister always beating me at them!" Celestia said with frustration in her voice as she looked at the book she was looking through for that certain spell that may not even be there, or even exist! When suddenly a pesky fly started to bother her bye flying around her. "...Grrr, I'm can't concentrate with this fly bothering me!" She said with anger in her voice.

She started to try and shew the fly away "Shew! Go away and bother somepony else!" The fly continue to bug her multiple times until....She snapped and started to use the Royal Canterlot Voice "THAT IS IT!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! THOU HAS TICKED ME OFF FOR THEE FINAL TIME!!!" She said with complete anger as her mane bursts into blueish and light purplish flames. The fly then started to fly away from her as if it was scared of her now.

She looked at the fly with complete anger and hatred "THOU SHALL NOT ESCAPE ME!!! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED FOUL BEAST!!" Celstia said as she then fired a big fire ball at the fly which was on a bookshelf.The fireball incinerated the entire book shelf including the fly. Celestia immediately calm down as she saw what she had done. Smoke came from the ashes from what was previously a bookshelf. Her eyes widen with complete shock as she made a very big uh oh.

Everpony started bursting up with laughter. When they herd her call the fly a foul beast.

"Oh no....WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! THOSE BOOKS COULD HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT!! What should I do?! If any pony found out about this, it would ruin my reputation as a princess!!" Princess Celestia panicked from her big uh oh and tried to think of a way to fix this uh oh or cover it up like it never happened. But as soon as the smoke cleared up, there was a small chamber that was behind the wall. Her eyes widened again once she saw the small hidden chamber. She walked forwards towards it slowly, since she didn't know what was in it.

"I don't remember this chamber being built here, nor have I even knew about it in the first place." She said as she entered the small chamber. As she looked around she saw many old books, that were at least 1,000 years old or so, dust covered every book and cobwebs hung from the ceilings. "Oh my....when i get out of here, I'm going to have my maids and servants clean this place up. This place is completely dirty 100%!" She said in a disgusted and concern voice. Suddenly she saw a small light up ahead "Huh?....I wonder what that could be?" Celestia said as she got closer to the small light.

As soon as Celestia turned the corner of where the light was at, she saw candles that had blue flames on them, as if they were made of magic, the candles seemed to have melted a little, but not as much as you would have seen with normal candles. The candles stood on and by a desk that was at the end of the camber wall, Celestia was surprised to see this, and decided to take a look what was on the desk. Once she had arrived at the desk, she saw a very dusty looking scroll that was wrapped up. "Hmm....I wonder what this could be?" She said as she picked up the scroll with her magic and opened it to see what was written inside.

After Celestia opened the scroll, she began to read what was written on it. "To whom may ever find this scroll, a great evil will awaken once more, darkness shall fall all over Equestria and possibly, every living thing there is in existence. The reason I know this is because I knew the pony who sealed that evil away, which came with a price for him sealing that evil away. He said to me before he turned to stone, was that he saw a vision of a war....a war against that same evil he had sealed away. He didn't know when and how...but he knew it was going to happen...that is why I am writing where you can find him, and possibly...release him so that he can help you win this upcoming war. Tia, if your the one who found this, here is what you must do in order to release him from his slumber." Celestia was shocked to see that a great evil was coming, especially surprised that the writer knew her nick name.

She shook her head in order for her to snap her out of her shock. She then began reading again. "There are 5 important things you must have in order to awaken him from his slumber. The first thing you will need to do is that you must have the Elements of Harmony. I know you will do well on finding the 6 chosen ones that will reactivate the Elements of Harmony and help bring peace and harmony in Equestria. The second thing you will need is to use your's and Lu Lu's magic since you will need both the magical energy of the sun and moon. The Third thing you need is the chaotic energy of a Draconequis. I'm sure your friend discord may help on that part. The forth step you must do is past the three trials of the Grim Colt, but I'm sure you all do quite well on them. The very last step is the most important of them all! After you have revived him, you must help him destroy the 10

"The Everfree Forest!" The main 6 said in a very scared tone.

"But that place is dangerous at nighttime and very scary!" Fluttershy said now shivering in fear.

"I know it is, that is why i am coming with you, you will need my magic to wake him up too.We shall depart when the sun goes down Luna and Discord are all ready there waiting for us. We will need Discords Chaotic power and my sisters magic to wake him up as well." Princess Celestia said a grin.

"Then let us be off then, shall we everypony?" Twilight said in a nervous but happy tone.

"YEAH!" They all said.

"Then lets go save Equestria!" Twilight said with a smile.

They all cheered and set off towards the Everfree Forest.

"King Sombra, we have intel from our Changling spy." the Diamond Dog intell chief said.

"Good, what does he say?" King Sombra said in a pleased tone.

The Diamond dog began to read the letter.

"He says that the Elements of harmony and the Princess sisters are heading to the Everfree Forest to wake up this.....ummmm, sir, are you sure you want to find out what they are going to wake up?" the Diamond Dog said in a very scared and worried tone.

"YES YOU IDIOT!" King Sombra said in a very angry and concerned voice.

The Diamond dog got very scared from King Sombra yelling at him.

"O-ok....i-it says they are going to wake up some kind of Alicorn that can help them beat us to a pulp." the Diamond Dog said with a worried look.

"You think some kind of Alicorn like that can help them?" He said in a slightly anger tone.

"Ummm maybe." the Diamond Dog said in a very scared and worried tone.

"WRONG! My powers has gotten stronger since the last time I was alive, and I found a secret power that I had just unlocked a while ago. This new power of mine can let me open a portal to another dimension. I can get more allies from those other dimensions and also take them over too."King Sombra said in an angry tone. "But just to be on the safe side, we should head out to the Everfree Forest and stop them from waking this Alicorn up. What time did he say they were heading out?" King Sombra said in a concerned tone.

"He said they are heading out when night begins to fall." the Diamond Dog said.

"Good, tell him to keep following them and tell him as soon as they arrive to where they are suppose to go,he should let us know. We should be waiting at another entrance there that I found a while back." King Sombra said with a grin.

"Right away my king." the Diamond Dog said as he was getting ready to leave.

Just when he was about to leave King Sombra called him again.

"Come here, there is one more thing." He said.

"Yes my king?" the Diamond Dog said in a worried tone.

"Bring me one of those magical hand cuffs, we are going to capture Princess Luna so I can extract Nightmare Moons energy so I can bring her back once again. She will be another great allie to us." King Sombra said in a pleased tone.

"Yes my king, but what are we going to do with Princess Lina after we took Nightmare Moon from her?" the Diamond Dog said in a concerned tone.

"We kill her,it will be a warning to everypony in Equestria. Also get my Shadow Dragon ready and put this machine on him as well, so that just in case somepony tries to save her, we will still be able to have Nightmare Moons energy." He said in a pleased voice.

"Right away my king." the Diamond Dog said as he left.

As soon as the Diamond Dog left, King Sombra started laughing in a evil way

"They won't know what hit them Mwahahahahahahaha!"
