My Little Pony: Rise of the Dark Abyssby Indigo CumulusChaptersThe decision must be madeRise of the Dark AbyssAufstieg (Rise)Mar and CelestiaThe day has come!The decision must be madePrincess Celestia read the note aloud, Twilight's friends stood in a circle with dread as they heard its message. "As our welcoming gift, we took the Alicorn as collateral until both Celestia and Luna resign and put me, Mar, in charge. If a decision is not made by midnight tonight, it will mean Twilight's life. The Dark Abyss awaits your choice...." Celestia stood silently with her sister Luna, who nodded, a tear rolling down her face as the pair flew off. They knew what must be done to save Twilight. But it'd be the end of a long lasting dynasty... Applejack frowned, scanning the room they were huddled in and sighed. "Listen y'all. I hate ta' break it to yeh, but we need ta' find Twilight before somethin' bad happens." Rarity nodded and spoke next, her british drawl echoed through the castle. "Apple Jack's right, she must be in incredulous danger even as we speak." Fluttershy silently questioned the two. "Oh, but how will we even know where to look?" Rainbow Dash zipped into the air. Her cyan fur shined in the dull moonlight that leaked in through the window. "Well think about it, The Dark Abyss awaits? It has to be like a huge hole in the ground, like maybe a... Cre......." As Rainbow struggled with the word, Pinkie Pie zoomed out of the castle, then back in carrying a book from Twilight's library. As she read it quickly, she came across Dashes mystery word. "A crevice! It says there's one behind the Ever free forest. Maybe Twilight's in its cave?" So the five made their way towards the Ever free forest, where evil was lurking, waiting for the opportunity to hunt... Rise of the Dark AbyssYellow flames surrounded the maroon colt as he laughed and approached the fallen princess, who was badly injured. "Did you think I would lose to you Celestia? Did you not expect me to plan on killing you?" "I knew your plan, so let this day haunt you... Let it burn forever into your mind that you single handedly started a war. A war in which you will most surely fall... in the worst, possible..... way." Mar shook his head as he walked away from her limp body. "Thank you Majesta." Mar said, acknowledging the hooded unicorn standing patiently behind him. She nodded and removed her hood, revealing the purple-green mane and silver face underneath it. Mar rubbed his scarred, left eye with his right hoof and laughed menacingly. "The time is now my evil accomplice. Bring forth our army and let them finally fulfill their training." "What do you mean Mar?" "Aufstieg my sister... We shall rise." Aufstieg (Rise)Cold walls surrounded the shadow as it approached a large crevice far beyond the outer rims of the Everfree Forest. Here, anything alive was either a prisoner, or a soldier. The night sky was dimly lighting the crevices exterior, and as the shadow had no magical horn, it had no extra light. Carefully, it leapt through the crevice, and disappeared into the darkness that surrounded it. Within seconds, it had landed safely on the stone cold floor of an underground cave. Though, vast as it was, the other soldiers had bundled close to witness their leaders speech. As the shadow came to a stop, it looked up at a flat, wide rock and saw a hooded mare preparing to speak. As it spoke, its deep, womanly voice flowed through out the cave but did not reach the top where the crevice stayed open. "I find you here, awaiting my words on this outside world we have been plotting so vigorously to destroy, but nay. I now have a new motive to benefit us all, if you look above us you shall see a large cage of dark magic. Within this evil cage holds the face of our enemy. The Alicorn known as Twilight Sparkle. We have choice. Let her go and bring the walls of this cave, our home, crumbling down.... Or we kill her as an example. As this is a democracy, I shall await for you, the ponies, to decide her fate, and ours. If we kill her, it shall mean one thing for us. Aufstieg." Mar and CelestiaThe pony that had left Celestia the trick letter, stood waiting in the light left by the opening of the crevice. A smile of terrible joy spread across his maroon face as the two princess sisters flew throught the crevices openingand landed before his blood red eyes. In a demonic voice, the colt spoke. "So you've come to bargain for your precious pony's life have you? Then impress me,or beg." Luna looked at her determined sister worriedly and shook her head, but Celestia stepped forward, her golden crown floating above her head with the use of magic, but as she closed her eyes, the crown dropped to the rocky ground in front of the evil colts front hooves. "No, Princess you mustn't. He'll destroy us all!" Twilight called out in fear. Celestia frowned and rose single hoof towards the crevice opening. "Sister, take Princess Twilight out of here while you two can still fly, I'll stay here and stop him." Luna nodded and rather than open the cage and risk Twilight dashing after Celestia, she carried the cage and took off towards Canterlot,but a strange yellow blast from the crevice made them fall into the Ever free forest, where Twilight's friends were searching for the crevice, and where the Dark Abyss had started its corruption of Equestria. The day has come!Twilight smiled brilliantly as her new wings began to stretch out preparing for every pony to see. She trotted toward Princess Celestia and Luna eagerly. Applause rang throughout her ears and mind as she walked out, onto the patio. She cleared her throat and the crowd became dead silent. She began to speak, smiling thankfully at all of the ponies who watched and listen intently as she gave her speech. But it was at this time, as she gave her speech, that a sudden blast of light blinded every pony and a voice was heard. It was frightening, deep, and echoed throughout Canterlot. “Foolish creatures! As you celebrate I have awoken your horrid, wonderful undoing.” The light faded with a single scream, and where Twilight stood, was a single shadow. It stood there, waiting, watching as all the ponies panicked, then as all of the ponies looked up to the shadow as it laughed maliciously, it vanished before their eyes into a dark vapor. Celestia cautiously approached where the shadow had stood and found a note.
