Prologue

If the Mane Six were able to defeat him, their true selves would be permanently altered! They would no longer be the Elements of Harmony, instead they would become the Elements of Disharmony!

"And that's why we will defeat you, because we are true friends!" Twilight Sparkle declared as she and her friends released the magic of their close Friendships against Discord and sealed him in stone yet again.

The Draconequis never thought these dumb ponies could actually beat him, he was the God of Chaos afterall and these were just some ponies! But before he knew it he felt himself starting to stiffen and all he could do was cry out in a panic as he became a statue once again.

Though he was fairly certain that this would not be the case for very long this time, not with his little contingency plan in effect.

Even as Discord’s body turned to stone, a black mist suddenly surrounded the Element Bearers and began sinking into their bodies.

            Twilight and her friends began to panic, their cries of fear filling the town square, as a deathly cold seemed to settle over them; the colour draining from their coats, manes, tails and even their eyes as their six Cutie Marks warped and changed under the effects of Discord’s magic.

Their cries of fear slowly fell silent as colour began to flow back into them, the transformation nearing its completion.  Slowly at first, the six Darkened Ponies regained their hooves.  Their screams being replaced by dark laughter that chilled the blood of any who heard it.  Even their Elements had taken on new and frightening forms.

               The clear leader was a Unicorn with a coat as black as the night itself, her mane and tail rippling in an ethereal cloud of pink and purple mist behind her.  A golden broad sword lay across her back within easy reach, a black pentagram, identical to her new Cutie Mark, adorning the hilt.  She chuckled darkly to herself as her blood red eyes examined the town of Ponyvile.  “Twilight Sparkle is no more, I am Midnight Dusk, the Element of Power!”

             Standing beside Midnight, an Earth Pony mare was also examining her new form.  Her coat had turned a deep orange, and her mane was now pure white.  A golden axe rested at her side, its blade carrying a likeness of her new rotten apple Cutie Mark.  She bowed slightly to Midnight Dusk and tipped her black felt Stetson slightly before grinning wide enough to showcase her newly grown fangs.  “Well, aint you a charmer?  Y’all can call me Bad Apple, th’ Element o’ Deceit.  Ah never did like bein’ Applejack.”

             The third mare to make herself known, a Pegasus with a yellow/green coat and violet mane, let her hoof rest on the hilt of one of a pair of wickedly hooked and serrated daggers that were dead clones of those that adorned her flank as her Cutie Mark.  An almost maniac gleam came into her eye as she spotted somepony trying to hide in an ally.  “You can’t escape from me my pretty…run and hide all you like, but nopony can escape Cold Blood, the Element of Cruelty, oh and stay out of my shed."

      A second Earth Pony mare barged into the group, distracting Cold Blood from her intended victim.  She had a dark pink coat and an equally dark red mane that hung straight down to her shoulders, all of its former bounce and curls gone.  Her Cutie Mark consisted of three teardrops that also appeared on the golden hammer she carried.  “Outta my way, I’m Pink Snooty, the Element of Rudeness, and I’m coming through!”

           A grey Unicorn snorted at Pink Snooty as she toyed with the whip in her hooves, the handle of which bore an insignia of a dollar sign that matched her Cutie Mark perfectly.  Even her green mane seemed to speak of money and the many pleasures that having it brought.  “I don’t care who you are Darling, but I do hope that you know somepony willing to pay tribute to Silver Dollar, the Element of Greed.”

              Midnight Dusk grinned coldly as she turned her attention to the last member of the group.  Like Cold Blood, she was a Pegasus, though her coat was a midnight blue and her mane shades of grey with random seeming streaks of purple.  A pair of golden bracers covered her fore hooves to her elbows, both marked with her storm cloud Cutie Mark.  “you better not be looking for my help, unless there’s something in it for me, the Element of Disloyalty, Shadow Dash…”

          Midnight snorted at her.  “I don’t really care what you say, I don’t trust you or any of the others.  But that doesn’t matter for now, we can kill each other later, after we’ve divided Equestria between us.”  Shadow Dash cocked an eyebrow at that.

“You have my attention Dusk, long as this little endeavour of yours is worth my while I suppose I’m in…”  Shadow Dash flicked her tail a little as Pink Snooty tried to contain a snort of laughter.  Even Silver Dollar looked sceptical.

“It’s all very well and good that you plan for us to rule this land, Midnight, but I can foresee two rather large obstacles in our way, the Solar and Lunar Princesses.”  Cold Blood just grinned at Silver Dollar as she liked the blade of one of her knives.

“I’ve heard that the Royal Sisters are immortal…I’d like to test that theory myself actually…might even have a bit of fun doing it too.” Not much later the siege on Canterlot Castle began in earnest.

Chapter 1 that weird unicorn

Ten years has passed since the elements of disharmony took over equestria, which they split into six, Midnight Dusk rules Ponyville the place where they all once lived while Bad Apple claimed Manehatten for her to rule, Silver Dollar almost instantly claimed The Crystal Empire, and Pink Snooty has made the ponies of Trottingham miserable, but Cloudsdale is relatively happy even though Shadow Dash makes them all watch her preform against their will, and Cruel Blood... Well lets just say she really enjoys torturing the ponies of Detroit.

But some ponies live in areas not claimed by any of the new monarchs, for example Zecora lives in the Everfree forest with her adopted  unicorn daughter Sunset Twinkle

You might be wondering who is Sunset Twinkle and how did she get there?

Sunset Twinkle was an orphan in Ponyville orphanage but when Midnight Dusk declared a new law that forces all unicorns to have there horns broken she ran away deep into the everfree forest.

The rain pounded down on the roof as the shrieks of young foals have their horns, the blood oozing out of the broken tips as they are being chopped off but Midnight Dusk, one by one each scream louder than the rest.

Many tried to escape but hardly any prevailed and the few that managed to escape were forced back to an even more painful procedure.

But at that moment Sunset saw her chance, she bolted to the door.

"HEY STOP THAT FILLY" one guard shouted.

But all the guards were too preoccuiped with all the other fillies and colts that were also trying to escape that they couldn't divert their attention to stop her.

Sunset got lucky but after she bursted out the doors five more guards came following her.

one guard pointed his hoof at sunset and shouted "OVER THERE!" directing everypony near by to look in the direction he was pointing.

the panicked filly didn't know what to do, one wrong move and she could be caught and have horn removed by Midnight Dusk.

Sunset ran towards an ally way hoping it wasn't a dead end, but her hopes were in vain because it was indeed a dead end, and with no where to go she tried climbing the fence stoping her from the horrible fate that was calling her name With a thud she landed on the other side of the fence, without a moments hesitation she ran towards the edge of Ponyville, but with no where to go and guards pursuing her she ran deep into the everfree forest unaware of the dangers that dwell within.

Eventually when the filly felt she was safe she came to a stop to catch her breath and comprehend what had just happened.

But she soon saw a dark shape walking towards her.

"Stay away! Please don't hurt me." She pleaded to the thing drawing closer.

But to her surprise the creature responded.

"What do you mean little one why would I cause you fear?" It inquired as it revealed it self to be a zebra.

After what seemed like hours of explaining the zebra introduced herself as zecora and offered to help the filly by hiding her horn and giving her a roof to stay under but one the one condition that she could help sunset in harnessing her magical abilities.

The Zap Apple Harvest

         "The Zap Apple Harvest has begun!" Zap cheered.

"Alight sugar cubes lets get to it!" AppleBloom announced.

But the problem with that is Sunset didn't know how to harvest zap apples was she supposed to buck them or pick them, for all she knows one wrong move could zap her and she did not want to be zapped.

"AppleBloom I have I question how do you harvest zap apples?" Sunset asked the cowpony.

"Actually ah don't know I just know how to make zap apple jam, but you can help me with that" AppleBloom smiled.

"Okay" Sunset cheered and like that the two ponies went to work.

          As the two ponies got ready to zap apple jam she thought aloud "hey AppleBloom who taught you how to make zap apple jam?" AppleBloom paused for a moment at what Sunset had just asked, it had been a long time since she had spoken about her family.

          AppleBloom's family story wasn't a happy one but it wasn't one she should keep hidden deep inside any longer so she decided to tell the story.

"Sunset ah am gonna tell you a story but you have to promise not to tell anyone else"

Sunset reluctantly said "I promise"

"Pinkie promise"

"Pinkie promise?"

"Oh that's right you don't know about that anyway the story"

"It was about ten years ago,mah sister applejack and her friends went to go defeat discord and save Equestria but then mah family got the news that the princess sisters Luna and Celestia had both been beaten by all that was left of the elements of harmony which meant that applejack was dead as far as we knew so Granny Smith and AppleBloom went into hiding at sweet apple acres and mah big brother Big Macintosh joined the rebellion against the dictators that now rule over what is left of Equestria and ah haven't mah brother since"

"The end" AppleBloom finished.

"But what about Granny Smith?" Sunset asked.

"We'll ponies don't live forever and she wasn't as young as she used to be."

Finally a update

Hello readers!

I finally got my system fixed so I can get back to writing with what little time I have for the rest of this summer .

And about the last chaper the unicorn sunset twinkle well she was going to be sunset shimmer until Equestria girls came out :(.

Chaper 3 will hopefully come out this month so enjoy what I have so far.

The forgotten orchard

         It was a sunny day and and the birds chirped as an excited little unicorn filly bounced her way down the forgotten dirt road.

" Come on Zecora! AppleBloom and ZapApple are probably bored to death waiting for us!".

" you must be patient for all that is good, but since we have ponies waiting I guess we can pick up the pace". "YAY!" Sunset exclaimed with glee.

At that Zecora silenced the filly and whispered to her "this place isn't completely forgotten you must be quiet until we arrive to the grove".

And with that said the pair quietly walked into the dense forest past a old weather worn sign in witch you can hardly make out the words Sweet Apple Acres.

         The rest of the trip was quiet, sunset had pondered why Zecora was so worried but, she shrugged it off knowing she could be such a silly filly when it comes to safety, heck she is so concerned that Sunset had to use her hair to cover up her horn.

         When the pair arrived they saw two ponies reading under the shade of an overgrown apple tree "Zecora is that them? Is that AppleBloom and ZapApple?" The young filly inquired.

"Why yes that is them and we are here in the Forgotten Orchard." Zecora told Sunset. "The mare that has a cowpony hat and light yellow coat with a red mane is AppleBloom, and that young colt is ZapApple." She continued.

Sunset now realized why the colt's name was ZapApple it was because he shared all the colors of a zap apple, he had a green coat with a mane of both red and orange and one of his eyes were blue and the other purple and his tail was yellow, he was practically a rainbow.

"Hello Apples!" Zecora greeted.

AppleBloom looked up from her book and greeted back "why howdy Zecora it's good to see y'all, who is that little filly y'all got there."

"Hiya my name is Sunset Twinkle nice and I have been so excited to meet you." Sunset burst out. "Well sugarcube with that much energy you will be great help this harvest." AppleBloom smiled.

"What harvest?" Sunset thought aloud. "Why the zap apple harvest silly filly, the fifth sign should be any minute now and when the zap apple appear we only got one day the harvest them all." Explained AppleBloom.

          And then something so magical happened that sunset could not have ever expected the fifth sign, her head spun arounds as she watched a beam of rainbow shoot from apple to apple a amazing show of color it was beautiful.
