Arrival

Most of the time as you all know it is light that is good, and darkness that is evil. However that is not always the case. My name is Trenton Font, and I am the controller of darkness and shadows. My arch nemesis who is named John Fergusson controls light. However he is hell bent on taking over earth while I stop him every time. Now if you'll excuse me I'm kicking his ass right now and can't afford to get distracted.

            As I finished my thought a punch sent me flying straight through a solid brick wall. " God damn that hurt." I said in my demonic voice. Climbing out of the rubble I catch his lunging form and smash him into the ground. My shadowy arm turns into a giant spike as I stab him in the chest sending white blood everywhere. The darkness then started to spread out on him. Feeling the pain and beginning to die he goes to a suprising last resort. He does the same to me instead of running. The energy created caused electronic 800 kilometers away to get effected shutting them off by blowing circuits. the area around us ripped causing the light and darkness to merge sending us down a long tunnel. We seperate and our forms of shadows and light burn off revealing me a 19 year old boy ,and a 34 year old man in a lab coat. Our skin and bones fly off our bodies only to be painfully reformed as we passed out.

                 Waking up in a forest I look around and see he scurried off. Not wanting to stay in this area TOO long I decide to choose a direction. Choosing my favorite minecraft quote I hurriedly say "Ennie Meeni Minni MO Catch A Ghast by the tentacle. If it cries let it go. Run like hell hes shooting yo ass." Laughing a bit at my words I walk in the direction i chose. Realizing 30 minutes later I was getting nowhere I decide to just randomly teleport to the nearest source of shadowy energy. I find myself in a darkened room with a giant sleeping pony with a horn and wings that is blue with a moon on it's ass. Instantly teleporting back I realized how stupid I was at the moment. Teleporting around the FOREST I came across light.

                  Walking into a clearing I came across a cottage with African looking masks around. I looked around then noticed fur. Looking down I saw I had hooves."Damn. No wonder I was hurt." I says realizing what happened in the tunnel. I walked up to the door and knocked. As it opened I saw a zebra looking at me and with a suprised look says

" I did not know such darkness could be here i'm starting to think that a new evil is near.

"Yes,but not the darkness this time light is evil." I say startling her.

" Ah so the one who visited me before wanted me dead, now I start to understand your dread." She says continuing her rhymes.

"Ok can you please stop rhyming i'm getting a headache." I plead her.

"Fine I will stop for now but only this time since it makes my mouth taste foul". The zebra says torturing me with one last rhyme." My name is Zecora. Who are you,and where are you from?" She asks interested.

" My name is Trenton,and I come from Earth." I answered slightly braggy.

"Earth? That is a place I have not heard of before." She says in an accent which I couldn't quite place.

" Well can you at least show me to the nearest town so I can find a way back?" I ask with sincerity.

" Yes I will take you to ponyville then my friend." She says starting to rhyme again. We walked for at least an hour before exiting the forest." This is as far as I go. Ask Twilight Sparkle how you'll get home she's sure to know." Zecora says with one last rhyme before walking back into the forest.

                 I walked to the town with some odd looks at my ass before realizing something was on there. Not wanting to look yet i walked to a local." Do you know where a miss Twilight Sparkle is?" I ask a cyan pony with wing and rainbow mane.

"Yea over at the library. Who wants to know?" She asks like she was a cop and I a suspect.

" I just need to ask for directions and was told she was the best to ask." I answered truthfully.

" Applejack come here I can't tell if this loser is lying." She calls to a pony that was tan with 3 apples on her ass with blonde hair and a hat on that walks walks towards us.

" What in tarnation is this about Rainbow Dash?" She asks the cyan pegasus who i guess is Rainbow Dash annoyed.

" This guy wants to see Twilight." Rainbow Dash answers back.

" Alright repeat what you said." Applejack told me.

I repeated what I said to Rainbow Dash to her.

" He's telling the truth alright." She tells Rainbow Dash as if approving me. Rainbow Dash points to a tree and I walk to it. I went inside to see a purple pony with a horn reshelving books.

(This might be easier than I thought). I  think to myself before a figure jumped me from the side.Looking up i saw my worst enemy still in his labcoat. Sending a powerful punch to his face I knocked him off causing enough noise for her to look at me, and his asses.

"What the? you have the same cutiemark shapes as me?" She asks out loud.

Looking at my ass then hers I saw me and HIM had the same cutiemark as hers except his white and mine black instead of purple. Taking the opportunity of finishing looking first I sock him then throw him outside.

                         Before I could reach him though he turned to his evil light form. Ponies screamed as he grabbed big objects throwing them at me as I dodged every one. Then I land in shadows and teleport to the shadows behind him by falling into the ground then up onto the ground behind him. Pulling out a shadow ball i hit the only piece of skin not changed. It went through his body, and in a shriek of blood I realized I killed his living form leaving only him in control of the light with no regular body . Running away like a coward he escapes leaving me smiling at his defeat. Well today is going along perfectly. I didn't even have to use my shadow form. I walk up to Twilight beaming a smile. "I need some directions........ to the nearest dark crystal cavern. I'm staying in this world for a while." I say giddily.

New Beginnings

           Twilight kindly invites me to stay at her house until they could locate a cavern for me. I accept and happily get a bed made out of black wood conjured  in with a little figurine made from the same wood as the bed. I go to sleep for my first night in this new world. I hope to myself I can get a new beginning here. Going to sleep I realize I'm having the nightmare again. I look around my house and hear a crash in the kitchen as I wake up. Running out i see a white figure with a spike arm straight through my mom's chest. I was only 16 when i saw the horror of my mother being murdered. My brother screams from the living room before he lunges at him too. Filled with a rage I never had before I run up and sock him hard in the face actually causing some damage. He grabs and throws me into my grandpa's room for when hes here and see a shadowy figure next to me. It goes in my body causing me to burn inside out as I wake up in a cold sweat. Looking around I know it was just a dream and go to sleep again uneventfully that night. I wake up earlier than Twilight so I decide to be a nice guest and go to make everyone breakfast. I get some ingredients and make hay bacon and grass sandwiches. Remembering dragons from my world. I heat up some jewels and put them in a bowl for Spike her dragon as I set the table. Spike walks in first.

"Wow that smells good." He says as he grabs a gem and popping it in his mouth." You can really taste the sapphire." He says like a happy food critic.Twilight then walks in smelling the delicious food.

"Wow that smells great." She says sitting herself down for a plate.I place one plate for her and one for me as we both start to eat.

"It wasn't hard. Found the recipe in a cookbook from that area." I say pointing to the cookbooks." It seemed like a good idea and it really was." I say happy that I made this choice.

"Well it is quite a good meal." She says teasingly.

"Has the princess replied to your letter yet?" I asked interested." I'd like to know." I tell her wanting an answer.\

"Yes she is going to be here in 2 days." Twilight answered happily.

"Well I'm gonna go for a stroll in the forest." I say happily.

"I was going to Zecora's anyways so I'll go too." Twilight says like she's on a schedule. Which she WAS.We walked down the road and bumped into a little filly with a bow in her hair.

" Well howdy Twilight. Who's your friend?" She said wholehearted.

"My name is Trenton Font." I said happily. "We were going into the forest before we met you."

"Twilight can I come too? PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE?" She asked like she really wanted to.

"Well I don't... oh well alright." Twilight said giving in to the little filly.

"YAY!" She yelled into the air. We walk to Zecora's Finish our business there and begin to walk back. We come across some trees and Twilight started to pick them up. I, being the lazy son of a bitch I am, decided to relax while she moved the debris. Applebloom seemed to notice something in the woods.

"Twilight I think I saw something." She says worried and curious.Twilight doesn't pay attention so she went after it, and  I follow suit. We walk for a while before coming across a town. Upon entering I noticed my cutie mark had disappeared.We walk through town a bit before coming to a gray stallion.

"My name is Gray Hoof. Welcome to the party. Help yourselves to food and drinks." He says happily.

"Well that was weird." I say as we walked away. This town was sunny. Too sunny. Something was definitely off around here.

Sunnytown

            We walk through town a while before coming across a stallion that looks sad." Dude what's wrong?" I ask worried.

"I can't find the present I got." He said looking down sadly. I not wanting to press on any longer of this went onward into town and after a while of circles found a gem. Running back I handed the beautiful thing to him." Thanks!" He said excited befre running off leaving the barn behind him unguarded. Cautiously walking in we saw boxes put to block the path. Using magic I was still examining I lifted the boxes in the air surrounded with a black aura and moved them all aside. Walking through we see a mare curled up in a ball crying.

             "It keeps happening over and over again." She cries to herself. Me feeling bad look around and notice a crank. Without realizing she was gone in the first place Applebloom walks back in grabs the crank and walks out. I follow her out of town to a creepy little shack. She puts the crank on a well next to it and lifts the bucket. Grabbing a key inside of it she runs over and unlocks the door walking inside. Following her I notice she had stopped dead cold. Looking up I saw the bones of a pony in the fireplace. We walk back to the town to see it completely in ruins. Realizing what they had done my anger peaks and I run to the nearest way out actually hoping to get sighted by the debris pile blocking it so I could kick their asses. I wait for Applebloom to reach me and we start to push the debris out of the way.

          " Stay with us forever. We won't let you become like her." A scratchy voice calls out. Pushing harder as a figure walks up we finish moving the debris and run out. We are stopped by a figure blocking our path.

         " Fools. They will never learn. Go get out of this town and never return." The figure in front of us says with a scratchy voice. Running out we see them literally rise out of the ground and surround us.

         "Applebloom close your eyes." I saw commandingly

         "But..." She tries to say.

         "DO IT!" I yell as she shuts her eyes. I let my inner darkness ring out turning me into a pony with no hooves but legs that are like spikes a black tail and body no snout or mane and just a face with 2 red circles for eyes and a jagged smile longer at the two starting smile ends like this. \                            /

                                                                          \ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"COME THEN COWARDS! FIGHT ME! I AM THE LORD OF FEAR AND DARKNESS!" I yell with a ferocious demon voice. Applebloom opens her eyes wanting to see and sees my true and terrible form. I send out 2 strikes. Each breaking a zombie's skull in pieces sending them to the next life. I look into the eyes of 4 and suck out their souls and the red light from them enters my eyes and mouth. Striking more and more their numbers keep thinning and thinning. Finally I kill enough to get them to back off. Putting Applebloom on my back I shrink into the shadows running. Applebloom held by my shadows watches as we get close to the path. Putting her down my darkness shrinks back into my body leaving me in my normal unicorn form. We walk back on the path and Twilight sees us relief showing on her face. In the back of my head I think to myself " Goddamn this place can be evil."

Sanity's Snapping Point

When I arrive back in town I give a loud yawn, and walk into the library when I see Twilight smiling happily at me. " Did you guys find the cave?" I ask very curious.

" See for yourself." She says before gesturing to a cloth on the table behind her. I walk over, and upon taking off the cloth see a beautifully dark crystal looking back at me. I touch it with my hooves, and it dissolves into a liquid that covers me.

"AGH!" Is all I can yell before I sink into the ground, and land in a room with a figure of pure evil staring at me. The smell of evil fills my nose as I pick myself up in the shadow crystal cavern. His green eyes shine with malice as he looks at me, and seemingly into my soul.

" Looks like someone got himself into trouble." He says deeply as the tugging comes back, but stronger. It was almost like.........something I had taken complete control over. The part of my soul, and sanity the Shadow Demon in me possessed. He was giving it equal control again.

" YOU BASTARD!" I yell before my iris begins to glow bright red, and I am pushed back into the darkness of my mind, as the demon in me snaps my sanity in half. I come back out of the floor of the library with my irises looking brown again.

" What in the hay happened down there?" Applejack asked worried with the rest of the mane six nodding in agreement.

"shia edhiao hdioa axahiond dida dhioah hoaih aoh daoh doah eioh eidhaiobceO" I begin chanting in an evil demonic voice. The mane six just go wide eyed before rushing towards the chest with the elements of harmony in them. The shadows grow longer, and longer, and longer until the light is no longer coming through the windows leaving the void outside. I turn into my shadow form before melting into the darkness before a suprised mane six run out with the elements on them. I decide to torture them one by one before sucking out their souls. I slink through the shadows waiting for one of them to separate from the group so I can begin. Fluttershy looks around scared before running into the closet and curling into a ball. I invisibly slam the door shut, and the others try to open it to no avail.

" Fluttershy. Do you want to see something?" I say sadisticly with my demonic voice.

" No please. Go away." She chokes out crying her heart out from being so scared. Being slightly mad I grab her head pulling it up, and look into her eyes. She tries several attempts to close them without success. Instead of sucking her soul  push into her head causing her eyes to roll back as I begin the torture. I enter the dark realm that I put in her head as the scene plays out. Twilight goes to sleep, and wakes up in a diaper in front of Fluttershy.

" Fluttershy? What's going on?" She asks a little afraid from what I can tell from her voice. Twilight attempts to move, but finds her muscles useless.

" I've always wanted a baby Twilight. You are the perfect one." She says with a smile. The rest of Patty Cakes plays out like every other spinoff does with Twilight's head going completely baby. I release Fluttershy, and she falls over eyes now black with my evil face seen visible laughing. The door finally opens, and they run in to see my handiwork.

" Oh Celestia." Rarity says staring down at Fluttershy. Then something I forgot to think about happens. Twilight uses that same memory spell trick that worked on the Discord Crisis( As I call it). Fluttershy shakes a bit but her eyes go back to normal. They turn to see me with a gutted Spike, Owlicious, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Angel Bunny, and Winona. They shake as my plan works. The dark magic I used takes effect as they all fall down to the spell. The incantation deactivates, and the light comes back allowing Spike to run in seeing my handiwork.

"Sweet Celestia..." He says surprised running out quickly. I decide to not let Spike escape, I'd deal with the useless ones later. Quickly slinking through the shadows I follow after him, before falling to the floor hissing as it somehow got brighter. Celestia landing down, and picking me up. "Sombra..." She mutters before light purges through me. I fall to the floor normal again coughing in pain. The tugging going away. "H-Holy shit." I says still a bit dazed from what happened. Great now IT was back. Well least I was okay for the time being. The Mane Six finding themselves finally waking up.

An Item of Interest ( Warning Very Short Chapter!)

I had almost walked out of the Everfree forest when I see something out of the corner of his eyes. Walking up to it I see it is a book I recognized almost too well. "The Book!?" I yelled out loud grabbing the instruction book. I run to a tree, and flop down looking in as the words faded into sight. I begin to read, and realize that the instructions were reformated. Looking to the cover it now reads The Shadow Magic Guide for Ponies." Well that's interesting." I think to myself before flipping to a special page. I levitate a piece of wood to myself before placing it on the ground. I grab a stick with my magic, and begin to scratch runes into the dirt. There is total of four runes on the outside of the circle I need to draw. At the top I draw a plank of wood with a knothole on it, on the left I draw a pentagram, on the right I draw a knife, and on the bottom I draw the evil face I have when I use my shadow form. My vision darkens as I begin to whisper thousands of words with thousands of voices at once making it sound like no language known to man, or pony. The runes darken to black causing the wood to follow before my vision lights back up, and I stop speaking in the odd language. I levitate the wood in the air, and begin to peel it backwards. It peels, and peels before Looking like a wolf. Happy with my work I put it in my left saddlebag along with my book, and get up. As I walk I feel a tugging in the back of my head. It was almost like something was pulling at my sanity.
