Part 1: The Recruitment

It was an average sunny day at the Ponyville Schoolhouse, Fillies and Colts were playing in the sunbeams.

Some with marbles, A few on the swing sets, And occasionally creating sandcastles in the sandbox.

Until the bell rang, thus signalling the end of morning recess, in which all the kids went inside for their first lessons.

In one class there were 3 friends who had always stood by each other between thick and thin, Through pain and torment, But still knew how to defend themselves, The first was a yellow coated earth pony with a ridiculously large bow in her hair named Applebloom, The second was a white coated unicorn with purple-pinkish curls named Sweetie Belle, And the 3rd was a orange coated pegasus with the disability of not being able to fly named Scootaloo.

Throughout the school year these 3 friends had been tormented by 2 Pristine looking posh-totty children known as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

But little did any of them know something grave was going to happen today that would change all of history as they knew it.

"Good morning everypony!" said a purple coated earth pony with 3 flowers adorning her flank."

"Good morning, Miss Cheerilee!" said all the children in unison, Miss Cheerilee was said to be the friendliest teacher in school, and it was always true, all the time.

"We have a real exciting lesson for you all today!" She said with a spring in her step as she pulled down a projector screen with her mouth,

The next moment she was busy with a slide projector saying, "Today we are going to learn about... The Angel Of Darkness!" This caused all of the students in the class to gasp in horror.

"I know it sounds scary children, But remember he can't physically or mentally harm you in anyway" She told the children as if to calm them down.

"Long ago..... When our rulers Celestia and Luna were just child princesses, They were always given the best recommendations by their consort Absolute Black" The slide showed a child-like version of Celestia and Luna with a black coated pony in the background with a black hole for a cutie mark.
"Always telling them the best meals, The best Royal Decrees and even the best troops to hire" the slides changed as Cheerilee said each part of those sentences.

"But one day Celestia and Luna both agreed he needed to make them happy someway" Her voice soon turned grim.

"So he decided to hunt for a rare treasure known as, The Dark Soul" The slide changed again to reveal a black ball shaped magic with 2 menacing claws coming out of the sides.

"Miss Cheerilee, Where was this Dark Soul supposedly located?" Said Sweetie Belle in an unsure voice.

"In an ancient temple deep in the Everfree Forest, The same temple which supposedly housed the Elements Of Harmony"
Replied Cheerilee changing the slide again to reveal the temple, although it looked more restored than it was before.

"Absolute Black dodged all the traps, All the perils and all the guards to make it to the Dark Soul" She said changing the slides in sync with her sentences.

"But Miss Cheerilee, when does the Angel Of Darkness come into this?" Said Silver Spoon furrowing through her mane

"I was just about to get to that." Cheerilee responded.

"When Absolute Black reached the dark soul he tried to seal it in a gift box for the princesses but..." She said with a more darker, More sad expression, "When he even touched the soul,..." She paused for a moment still changing the slides in sync with her with her voice "It consumed his whole body in darkness!" Cheerilee rapidly changed the slides to show Absolute Black mutating into a winged human coated entirely in black spiky armour, Brandishing 2 massive swords with spikes tipping the whole blade.

"Upon his transformation Absolute Black decided to change his name to Darkwing The Angel Of Darkness, And with his new maximised swordplay and dark magic powers challenged Celestia and Luna for the throne."

"It was a fierce battle with fires as tall as the mountains, Storms as dark as the night sky and blood dripping down the castle corridors" She said with a dark expression on her face.

"So what happened to this Angel Of Darkness anyway?" Scootaloo said in a brave accent.

"After being worn down by the final duel with Celestia and Luna, The princesses sealed him away in a random everyday item that nopony has found even to this day" The slides kept going perfectly in sync with Cheerilee's voice until the last slide marked the end of the presentation.

"If anypony finds the item Darkwing was sealed in they should report it with the nearest Tartarus Associate immediately" Cheerilee finished before immediately returning to her usual happy state saying, "Any questions?"

The rest of the class was just paperwork and essays until the bell rang signalling the end of 1st period.

"Do ya'll think it wasn't just a myth created by Cheerilee just for a good scare?" Said Applebloom to her 2 friends.

"If it wasn't a myth i'd be looking for the item myself to see if it really existed." Said Scootaloo in response.

"Look there!" Sweetie Belle said in a worried tone pointing at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"What are they up to?" Said Scootaloo watching them walk behind the schoolhouse.

In a stealthy way both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were sneaking of the schoolgrounds to a nearby glade to watch the clouds roll by, mostly making fun of their weird designs and talking about the Angel Of Darkness, Yep it was a matter of cold-hearted fun for them until Diamond's flank and crown started pulsating a weird dark purple aura.

Silver Spoon asked Diamond Tiara "What's wrong Diamond?"

"I don't know." she said in response to her friend.

No sooner had she finished her sentence when a deep evil voice unlike anyone she'd ever seen or heard of before whispered through the wind into her and Silver Spoon's ears

"I've been waiting for you two." Said the unknown voice which was obviously male.

"Who... who's there?" Said Silver Spoon in a kind of scared voice

"The twins of hatred and pessimism." he said describing the two schoolfillies perfectly.

"It is just as the archives foretold, 2 rich children with hearts of pure darkness." No sooner had the voice finished when a black laser shot out of Diamond Tiara's crown and cutie mark revealing a Dark Purple coloured portal.

"OK i'm officially scared now!" Said a now worried Diamond Tiara.

"Let's get out of here and report this to the princesses!" Said Silver Spoon in response.

Just as the two girls started running the voice said "I know what you want, You wish to stomp out the untalented, Correct?

"How did you know?" Said a now concerned Silver Spoon.

"I know everyone and everything, I am the Angel Of Darkness, Darkwing as your class acknowledged me."

"Darkwing?" Silver Spoon said once again in a scared way

You two are the most harshest, most unforgiving, most evil ponies ever created by the gods themselves, Your names Are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon!" The voice finished in a thunderous voice.

"How did you know?" Said Silver Spoon again in a now more sinister voice.

There is no time to quibble over little details, You two, Step through the portal and you will be able to conquer all of Equestria!"

Ears buzzing at the sound of this, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked through the portal into the other dimension on the other side, where upon said other side resided a human with 2 massive black wings coming out of his back, A completely spiked battle armour and swords and fiendish black spiky hair.

"Welcome to the Void Of Darkness ladies." said the winged human.

"Allow me to give myself a proper introduction, I am Darkwing The Angel Of Darkness!"

So....

That was my first fanfiction part 1 of ????

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as i do and hopefully next part will be out soon

Oh and before i go.

CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

Part 2: The Mission

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon looked at their surroundings after Darkwing introduced himself, it was completely made of deep space, with a few streaks of dark purple lightning striking every few moments.

"What is this place? and as a matter of fact Where is this place?" Said Diamond Tiara looking quite puzzled at Darkwing's dimension.

"You are no longer in Equestria if that's what you're asking." Said Darkwing to his two new arrivals "You are in another plane of existance known as the Dark Neospace"

"But... let's not matter much about that now," He said to the girls in a now serious tone.

"You have been called here to...... EXTERMINATE PONIES!!!!" He said in an even more sinister grimdark voice.

"EXTERMINATE?!" Said Silver Spoon in a now worried voice.

"Yes, exterminate." Replied Darkwing to the girls.

"For too long Equestria has been protected by the forces of light and friendship," He held his bare right hand out in a claw like shape, And in a few split seconds dark purple lightning was flowing out of all five fingers which then morphed into what looked like an HDTV "And guarded by six chosen equines,"

The TV screen then showed a picture of the Mane 6 all bearing their Elements

"These Six ponies, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack were all chosen by the equine gods during Equestria's creation" Darkwing now held up a pointing stick pointing to all six ponies as he said their names aloud and then made it dissapear afterwards.

"For the last 30 moons i have been trying to smite these ponies using the most twisted being of darkness i could create..."

He then changed the picture to show a slideshow of all the enemies the Mane 6 had fought in order, First Nightmare Moon, Then Discord, Then Queen Chrysalis and the Changelings, Next was King Sombra, And finally He showed Sunset Shimmer in both forms.

"But no matter what i created, the Spirits Of Harmony were always able to defeat the forces of darkness and weaken me partially." He said as the picture then showed how all the above villains met their ends.

"But no more, You see girls i have been looking for you especially, You weren't created by me but you have exerted more darkness than anything else in Equestria" he said changing his tone to a more serious yet happy voice.

"And this affects us how?" Said Diamond Tiara.

"The way you tormented innocent children, pushed them to the edge of despair and even created an evil yet annoying catchphrase, It's just DELICIOUS!!!" Said Darkwing in an evil like voice again.

"But now it's time to take your power to the next level girls, To be able to conquer ponykind, To destroy all who oppose you, That's what you wan't isn't it?" Darkwing asked them

"Yeah, I'm tired of not being recognized as a threat!" Said Diamond Tiara.

"Me too!" Said Silver Spoon in complete agreement with her.

"Then your mission begins." Said Darkwing, No sooner had he finished talking when he held both his claws out to his sides and wrapped the dark energy around the two schoolfillies causing them to fly of the ground and get wrapped in the dark space's energy.

"It is time to awaken your full potential girls, And bring suffering to all those who despise you!" Said Darkwing as he started creating archaic symbols with his claws' dark energy, after the final symbol was created he loudly proclaimed, "DIAMOND TIARA AND SILVER SPOON I REINCARNATE YOU, AS DARK ANGELS!!!!!" upon reaching the midpoint of the previous sentence the space around Darkwing suddenly grew lightning storm like and the symbols started to transform the two ponies, Their hooves had now become hands and feet wrapped in crystalline armour as well as their bodies, Their heads had now lost their muzzles, And their face signatures (Diamond's Crown and Silver's glasses) Had now become helmets with futuristic visors, And there were now black wings sprouting from their backs much similar to Darkwing's

"Whoa, I am loving this new look!" Said Diamond Tiara admiring Darkwing's work after the transformation had finished.

"Hold on girls, You're not finished yet." Darkwing said, after finishing his sentence he gifted Silver Spoon with twin scepters made entirely made out of platinum with a black crystal ball in the claws, and gifting Diamond Tiara with two massive scythes made entirely out of diamond.

"There, Now you can defend yourselves in battle." He said complimenting the girls new bodies.

"So what's the plan then?" Said Silver Spoon testing out her new scepters on magically conjured targets created by Darkwing.

"The Spirits Of Harmony are gonna be running some errands in another world known as Canterlot High, I need you two to venture into this alternate dimension and destroy them." Said Darkwing explaining the mission to them and then creating another portal leading into the other world

"Sounds simple enough." Said Diamond Tiara who was now cutting up all the targets in her path with her new scythes physical and magical powers.

"But be careful you two," Said Darkwing almost forgetting something of great importance, "In this alternate world exists a docile human double of everypony in Equestria, Even copies of you two"

"So what" Said Silver Spoon now discovering that her scepter could also turn into many other weapons as well.

"So if this other world Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were to find you, It would corrupt both worlds on a cataclysmic scale that even i wouldn't be able to fix!" Said Darkwing in a now serious voice.

"But wait, if all six Spirits Of Harmony are going to Canterlot High wouldn't that corrupt both worlds?" Said Diamond Tiara now being able to create and manipulate gemstones using her new scythes.

"After the events of Sunset Shimmer's plan of world domination, Princess Celestia gifted all the Spirits with the ability to travel through to Canterlot high and not be able to disrupt the balance of the worlds" Darkwing explained.

"So we need to go into another world and kill the Spirits Of Harmony." Said Silver Spoon just now grasping the mission details.

"Exactly!" Said Darkwing "And just so you two don't confuse Pony Spirits with Human Spirits, I'm planting markers on the Pony Spirits to tell the two apart" Explained Darkwing grabbing a pile of the deep space they were in and blowing it onto the pony turned human forms of the Mane 6.

"Now go, Destroy the Pony Spirits and you will have Equestria in no time." Said Darkwing leading both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's new forms through the portal.

"Now Elements Of Harmony... Let's see you squirm!!!!" Said Darkwing now laughing evilly as the portal closed.

Author's Note

So....

The most annoying side villains in FIM are now the assassins of an evil entity of darkness.

I bet you're all wondering how this will all turn out?

Well check in next chapter to see how they hunt down the Mane 6 and check out Canterlot High at the same time.

Part 3: Hunting The Light

A purple vortex appeared next to Canterlot High's world jumping statue, and coming out of it were the newly transformed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

"This place looks weird," Said Diamond Tiara carefully observing her surroundings "How are we supposed to find the Spirits Of Harmony in a backwater place like this?"

"Your visors also come with a fully integrated map of your surroundings, As well as your targets" Said Darkwing through video comm link.

Upon opening their digital maps they saw it looked even more complex than before, with at least one new room in each corridor.

"Well we're not gonna find them by just sitting around tweaking our maps." Said Silver Spoon reminding Diamond Tiara that they were on a mission.

"You're right, Come on let's go check inside." Diamond Tiara replied.

The inside of the building was even stranger than they had expected, upon entering they found themselves in what looked like an atruim with higher level corridors, there was also a trophy window nearby showing the place's accomplishments.

"Hold on, Something doesn't feel right about this." Said Diamond Tiara carefully studying each corridor and room.

"You're right!" Silver Spoon replied to her partner "Look!" As she pointed into a room she saw desks and chalkboards and the human doubles of the Cutie Mark Crusaders they had a beef with.

"Yeah i know, Applebloom looks so tacky in this world" Diamond Tiara said after seeing the human copies of Applebloom Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

"No, Not that!" Silver Spoon pointed out, "It looks more like a high school than another world."

"Congrats to you Silver, You figured it out first" Darkwing Vidcommed them again.

"Spare us the pleasantries Darkwing, What is up with this place?" Diamond Tiara said looking a little flustered.

"Allow me to fill you in ladies, just a quick heads up though, This explanation does kinda break the 4th wall" Darkwing told them

"Both Equestria and Canterlot High are watched over by humans that are non-existant in both worlds, In this so called high school everyone had a human double except two equines, these two horses were Twilight Sparkle, One of your targets, And Sunset Shimmer, One of my creations." Said Darkwing in a descriptive tone.

"Oh yeah, I thought that Sunset girl looked weird" Said Silver Spoon butting in the description.

"Sunset Shimmer craved Twilight's Element Of Harmony more than anything else, because she knows misplacing artifacts causes powerful dark mutations to happen" He then continued, in sync with his speech he showed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Sunset Shimmer's transformation into what looked like Satan's ex-wife

"But even in this new form, Sunset Shimmer was still struck down by the Spirits Of Harmony," Said Darkwing now showing the two girls Sunset Shimmer's defeat.

"So everyone is human in this world and have no wings or horns, But Twilight and her friends were still able to win without the Elements?" Said a now puzzled Silver Spoon.

"Exactly, So be careful, If Twilight and friends see you they will surely be able to strike you down as well without their trinkets." Said Darkwing issuing the warning to the two girls

"So you want it to be a stealth killing right?" Asked Diamond Tiara.

"Perfect, Kill the girls, Don't get caught and get back to the Dark Neospace alive and Equestria is yours." Darkwing said.

Suddenly a bell rang almost to the point which would have caused even Diamond Tiara's ears to bleed.

"Oh boy." Said Darkwing in a worried voice

"What's going on?" Said Silver Spoon in a confused voice.

"Run, Hide, Turn invisible or whatever, but don't get caught." Darkwing finished, No sooner had he finished when human doubles came pouring out of the classroom doors like they were thankful that their lessons were over.

At this point Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were now running down the corridors to avoid being seen by Canterlot High students.

"This is going nowhere, We might as well just give up and get caught!" Said Diamond Tiara now looking at the thousands of humans flooding the corridors.

"Don't worry," Said Silver Spoon in response, "My new scepters allow both me and you to turn invisible, So we can slip through the school undetected."

"Nice going" She said to her friend.

"Anything for you, Your Majesty." Silver Spoon said back in a comforting tone.

After stepping out, The two invisible girls now saw the humans walking into what looked like a dining hall where everyone was sitting and eating and conversating with one another.

"Perfect, The Gang's all here" Diamond Tiara said viewing everybody in the lunch hall, looking at each of the tables she saw recognizable human doubles of ponies like Snips and Snails, Featherweight, And even a copy of her and Silver Spoon.

"So don't get caught by us" Silver Spoon warned her partner who was ready to prepare dark magic "if you just barge in, our human doubles will notice us and think something's up, And if they see us it's game over for us.

"You're right, We need To Kill the Pony Spirits and leave the human Spirits unscathed without being seen by anybody." Said Diamond Tiara in a now more cautious tone.

Walking around the other side of the hall, She now had a good line of fire, Diamond Tiara would be able to kill the Ponies while leaving the humans unharmed.

She held her hand out like a claw which caused a black ball of dark magic to form in her palm, after charging it up she launched the ball at the Pony Spirits Of Harmony, It was mere seconds away from hitting them when.......

Author's Note

OH MY GOD!!!!

IS IT THE END FOR THE SPIRITS OF HARMONY? OR WILL SOMETHING ELSE HAPPEN?

Find out next chapter.

Part 4: The Bloodthirsty Diamond

It was mere split seconds away from hitting them when..... A flying textbook dropped by one of students miraculously hit the ball causing it to explode and expel dust

At this sight all the students were brought into an uproar of fear and worry, As Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon revealed themselves to the frightened students with menacing looks in their eyes.

"ENOUGH!!!!!" Said Diamond Tiara, Causing all of the students to fall silent.

"We are here for one reason and one reason only, Give us the Spirits Of Harmony and we'll let the rest of you go." Said Silver Spoon seconding Diamond Tiara's previous statement.

"Looking for us?" Said Rainbow Dash, a rainbow haired girl emerging from the group, Not soon after all her friends came out as well with serious looks of anger on their faces.

"The Spirits Of Harmony, You look so weak when you're up this close." Diamond said to the six girls Darkwing described for them.

"I see you know our names already, Said Twilight Sparkle a girl what looked mostly purple, Both skin-hair wise, and clothes wise."So we'll just ask for yours instead"

"Very well it might as well be time to show them what truly evil kids we are." Said Silver Spoon taking off her helmet in sync with Diamond Tiara.

"Wait have i seen you two before?" Said a puzzled Twilight.

"Wait a minute, Something's not right here,Why am i wearing a crown that looked like it cost over a thousand bucks?" Said Diamond Tiara's human copy.

"Oh what do you know, you stupid human double?!" said Darkwing's Diamond Tiara.

"Human Double? You're one to talk." Said Silver Spoon's human copy.

"At least I'm Evilly Hot in my world!" Replied Darkwing's Silver Spoon

"AAAGGH! We're wasting our time here, Let's just destroy the Spirits Of Harmony and get this over with!" Said Darkwing's Diamond Tiara firing another ball of dark magic at Twilight and her friends.

Upon impacting with the Pony Spirits it exploded knocking them back into the wall.

"Human Twilight, Get everyone out of the lunch hall and into the gym, We'll take care of these two!" Said Pony Twilight to her human copy.

Not even saying anything back, The Human 6 led all the students out of the hall and to a safe place where no harm could befall them.

"Now that that freakshow is out of the way allow us to introduce ourselves, The Name's Diamond Tiara." She said to Twilight in a cold tone "Me and my partner Silver Spoon were told to destroy you, so let's jump to conclusions and end it!"

She lunged forward at the Mane 6 wings flapping to increase speed and scythes in hand ready to deal a fatal blow to the girls when Twilight said under her voice, "We'll see about that!"

After the scythes impacted, Diamond Tiara was confused to see Twilight and friends without scratches, "But that should have impaled you!" She said in frustration.

"Under the decree of the princesses, Page 6, Paragraph 29, Subsection R, All who threaten the Spirits Of Harmony are a threat to the light themselves and must be destroyed." Said Twilight to the two Black Angels hovering in front of them, No sooner had Twilight finished decreeing than a ball of pure light slammed down on the six ponies turned human giving them their wing and horns back and granting them their own swords with their cutie marks as the emblems.

"So you wanna go a few rounds eh? Very well, Let's see who's high and mighty after we're done with you!" Said Silver Spoon to the newly transformed girls.

"Against a minor threat like you? Puh-lease, I've dealt with Leviathans tougher than you two!" Said Rarity, a white girl with a long purple curl for a hair style.

"Minor Threat?! MINOR THREAT?!?!?!?!?!" Said a now furious Diamond Tiara who was now leaking pure darkness out of her body and scythes.

"I'LL SHOW YOU GIRLS A MINOR THREAT!!!!!!!!!" She said lunging forward with both her scythes and dark magic ready to kill on touch.

Immediately after the swords and scythes crossed metals all eight of the females were now warped into Dark Neospace onto what looked like an arena of sorts.

It was a fierce battle with swords and scythes clashing and powerful dark magics being invoked by both the Spirits Of Harmony and Darkwing's Black Angels

During a sword on scythe clash Twilight was staring Diamond Tiara in the face as they were both trying to push the other blade/scythe back.

"Who are you, Other than your names?" Said Twilight half puzzled and half fuming.

"It's a shame those Blank Flank children of yours didn't notify you of us earlier" Said Diamond Tiara in a smug voice, Still trying to push back Twilight's sword.

"Wait, You're the ones Applebloom was talking about?" Twilight said with a shocked expression which caused her to draw back her sword.

"Exactly" Silver Spoon butted in, Now slamming Twilight with the most grimdark spells she could muster.

"Sweetie Belle warned me about you." Rarity said immediately picking up on Twilight and the two girls conversation

"As did mah lil sis' Applebloom." Said Applejack an orange coated cowgirl who was beating back Diamond's scythes.

"Scootaloo also told me about you." Said Rainbow Dash covering for Twilight as she took quite a pounding from those spells.

"Enough! When all else fails... It's Party Cannon Time!" Said Pinkie Pie, A pink coated and haired girl who was now brandishing what looked like a massive cannon loaded with 4th wall breaking energy and party decorations.

After launching a shot at Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon intercepted with a ward (an Archaic spell word for shield)

"Oh dear, So much carnage, I have to end this!" Said Fluttershy (Best Pony by the way) A yellow coated girl with long pink hair, and almost immediately after finishing her sentence she cast The Stare on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon causing them to reel back long enough for Twilight and friends to deal a Friendship Is Magic finishing blow.

This finishing blow consisted of all their cutie marks turning into chains to bind the two Black Angels while the Mane 6 created an explosion in the colour of a rainbow which almost blinded Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, after the explosion the 6 girls came charging at the Black Angels swinging their swords to make what looked like a Rainbow coloured hexagon shape before turning themselves into 6 rainbow coloured balls of light being propelled at light speed by the pure friendship energy right into Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's Faces, Causing them to fall to the ground, Scarred by battle and surprisingly at the knees of Darkwing who was watching the whole battle from afar.

"Master Darkwing, Forgive us." Said Diamond Tiara in a worried voice.

"Silence! Save it for your future subjects." The furious looking human replied to them, then turned to Twilight and friends saying, "Congratulations girls, Very well done."

"OK, Who are you by the way?" Said Twilight even more puzzled than the first time.

"I'm your worst nightmare, Darkwing The Angel Of Darkness and Equestria's soon to be new emperor." he said to the girls in a sinister voice.

"Darkwing?! But Celestia and Luna sealed you away! How can you be back?" Twilight said both angrily and scared.

"Simple, I was imprisoned in these two!" He replied holding up Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon by their necks.

"But let's not drag out this conversation for too long, You have a class in 5 minutes or so in Canterlot High, And you wouldn't want to be late." he said before dissapearing with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon into nothingness and warping the Mane 6 Back into the lunchroom where it looked like it never happened.

Author's Note

So.

Was that Exhilarating or what?

Next part to come up soon.
What is Darkwing planning, Will Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon be able to redeem their loss, and will Twilight and friends be able to stop it?
Find out next time.

Part 5: A Dark Plan

Upon returning to Canterlot High the Mane 6 started to focus mainly on Darkwing more than their work, Questions like how or who were mostly said, and even sometimes why.

"Well whatever he's planning, We need to tell the princess about it right away." Twilight came to a decision that suited everyone nicely.

Upon returning to Dark Neospace, Darkwing with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon still in hand threw them against the wall in anger.

"Is that all you could muster? Pathetic." He said to the two now frightened girls.

"Master, Please forgive us, We just miscalculated the timing is all." Said Silver Spoon, Now quaking with fear.

"No, You had your chance for a stealth murder and it turned into a 6 on 2 battle, You disgust me." He replied furiously.

"Well what can we do to make it better?" Diamond Tiara pleaded.

"There is one thing you can do...." Darkwing said with a even scarier face than before.

"There are 2 gemstones in Equestria that are said to house unlimited age altering powers, The Stones Of Knowledge and Ruin." Darkwing told them, "Buried somewhere deep in the Everfree Forest in the darkest glade possible."

"Find them and bring them back to me, And i'll overlook your little run in with the light." Darkwing finished.

"Yes master." The two ponies turned evil humans said before leaping through the portal.

"All of the pieces are in place." Darkwing said to himself, "Now Princess Celestia, Your time as the ruler is about to END!!!!"

Upon returning to Equestria, The Mane 6's first order of business was to report their run in with Darkwing and his new angels.

Upon reaching Celestia's Throne Room Twilight told her everything that happened to which Celestia said, "Darkwing, You never give up don't you?"

"He had 2 ponies turned human working for him, Now what were their names?" Twilight said to her still trying to remember her attackers.

"Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon." Celestia said making Twilight lose her train of thought in mere seconds.

"Oh yeah, I remember now, aren't they supposed to be schoolkids?" Rainbow Dash spoke up as if wanting some attention and wanting to know more.

"They were until today." Celestia said back at her, No sooner had she finished when she started telling the girls all about Darkwing and his two new henchponies.

"Has anypony seen these two children before this happened?" Celestia inquired as if hoping to receive a yes from her protectors.

"Ah have." Applejack spoke up, "And quite frankly they're the most rotten apples ah ever laid my eyes on." Applejack said bringing up memories of her cousin Babs giving a final confrontation with the two schoolpoines before heading home to Manehatten.

"Applejack darling, Other that that what else were they responsible for?" Rarity asked the cowpony in a curious matter.

After a long moment of silence Applejack finally responded with, "The Gabbi Gums Fiasco.".

"WHAT?!?!" Everypony besides Applejack in the room all said in unison and in fury.

"That's right, The persona of lies, The mistress of heartbreak, That was them." She said sternly.

"OOHH ID LIKE TO RIP THEM IN HALF THE NEXT TIME I SEE THEM!!!!!" Fluttershy said initiating her rage form, before quickly calming down afterwards.

"Fluttershy, Don't get so hasty, You saw what Darkwing turned them into, Going straight at them would be suicidal!" Twilight said in an attempt to calm her down.

"She's right you know." Said Celestia to Fluttershy to second Twilight's notion.

"Darkwing created everything you girls have fought as friends, And as such can also magnify dark energy in his beings or something as evil." Said Celestia in a serious tone to the Mane 6 "No doubt this Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon have not yet even released their ultimate powers."

"So they're just gonna get stronger?!" Said Rainbow Dash in an angry yet confused state.

"Exactly, Maybe even to the point where i won't be able to hold them back." She replied in a more grim tone than usual.

"We know not what this Darkwing is planning, But i know it will involve Equestrian Conquest." Said Princess Luna who now stood next to her sister Celestia.

"So how do we stop a plan if we don't know what's being planned?" Said Pinkie Pie who more serious than quirky now.

"We need to scan Equestria for Darkwing's presence, One we have a strong lock on his dark essence we'll send you six over there in split seconds" Celestia told them.

Both Celestia and Luna conjuring up god-like magic brought up a map of Equestria with a white and black line scanning the map from side to side in an attempt to find Darkwing or at least his aura.

After a long search the map started pulsating a black dot in a region mark as The Everfree Forest.

"There!" Said Luna now taking notice of the blip quicker than anypony else in the room, "The Everfree Forest."

"Oh dear, What could he want in such a dark place?" Said Fluttershy now cringing in fear at the dot's location.

"Well The Elements Of Harmony were already found by you girls so that leaves..." Celestia paused and then realised what he was after.

"OH NO! THE STONES OF KNOWLEDGE AND RUIN!!!" Said Celestia showing a sign of fear that hadn't been seen for over 1,000 years.

"The stones of what and huh?" Said Rarity trying to grasp the situation.

"Knowledge and ruin." Luna corrected her "Legend has it whoever wields the stones can never age thanks to their dark magic"

"But he's already immortal, What else could he want with such powerful gemstones?" Said Twilight once again confused.

"The stones can also alter the age of other ponies and things around him, If he grabs the stones he will no doubt use it to return us to our infantile states." Said Celestia to the girls.

"And if he turns you to into babies then that means...." Twilight paused and then realised how dangerous it sounds, "He'll just be able to walk in and take the throne without a fight!"

"Girls, You need to stop him from grabbing The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin beofre he can use them on us." Celestia said before creating a pillar of light which can teleport the girls to the forest "If you don't then Equestria is in dire straits indeed."

"On it, We won't let you down Princess." Said Twilight now vanishing into the light pillar with the rest of her friends..

After the pillar dissapeared with the Mane 6 Still in it Celestia and Luna returned to their respective thrones.

"Do you think the girls can stop him, Sister?" Luna asked Celestia.in a worried yet curious tone

"If not, We will have to hope they avenge our loss." Celestia replied back to her sister.

Meanwhile in Dark Neospace.....

"Muhahahahahahaha! Those foolish ponies think that i'm personally swiping the stones myself." Darkwing said eating his Peri-Peri Chicken, "What the Mane 6 don't know is that i've given Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon god-like powers now, And as such have ordered them to steal the stones for me,"

"So run little equines, You have a playdate with the dark twins waiting for you." He finished before sipping his Fanta and changing his TV's channel

With the Mane 6 running head first into danger, Darkwing's master plan revealed, And a new Godlike Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon waiting for them, Will be the end of the Spirits Of Harmony?

Keep Reading To Find Out.

Part 6: Stalling For Time

When the Mane 6 came to, They found themselves at the altar of harmony where they first retrieved their elements.

"I see this place still hasn't changed a bit." Rarity said acknowledging the ruins of the great temple once more.

"What in Equestria is that?" Twilight spoke up pointing to what looked like an altar with two gemstones on the pedestal.

The two stones looked almost exactly the same when viewed up close, One was rainbow coloured and has the essence of pure youth flowing around it, While the other was black as night with sounds of crying and old age resonating with it.

"These must be The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin that Celestia was talking about." Said Twilight admiring the pretty stones, "And it doesn't even look like Darkwing is here."

"Awesome, Maybe he decided to abandon his plan after seeing our awesomeness during that battle huh?" Rainbow Dash spoke up to her in a relieved tone.

"Whatever the reason we can get home now, We won!" Said Twilight in an overexcited tone of voice.

But just when they thought all was well and good, The stones started emmiting a black pulse of dark magic which activated Twilight and Rarity's horns.

"Wait, What's going- AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!" The ponies screamed after dissapearing into nothingness.

In the temple the stones shattered when hitting the ground and Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon deactivating their stealth forms came up to the altar and started hacking into an archive.

"That oughta keep them busy" Diamond Tiara gloated to herself.

"Now nothing will distract us from hacking into the Archive Of The Ages!" Silver Spoon said to back up her friends's last statement.

All the girls could see was darkness, Pure darkness.

"W-Where are we?" Said Twilight regaining consciousness and surveying her surrondings, The Mane 6 had been warped to what looked like complete darkness, No trace of light was found and everything was completely black, Suddenly a blinding light appeared and the area around them turned into what looked like the most bizarre maze ever created.

"Welcome To The Labyrinth Of Despair!" Said Darkwing now materializing in front of the Mane 6 with a twisted look on his face.

"Darkwing? But if you're here then that means...." Twilight said worried then horrified after realizing what was going on back in the temple.

"Those weren't the real stones you foolish equines." He replied laughing, "They were just a warp spell created by Silver's new dark magic."

Darkwing created another HDTV with his dark powers and showed a video of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon hacking into a computer disguised as an altar.

"The end is near ladies, Once that computer is successfully hacked we will be able to take the Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin and utilize their dark energy on your dear Celestia." he said to them with a giant grin plastered on his face.

"And the only way to stop us is to escape this ever rearranging maze of insanity, Fat chance of that happening." Said Darkwing following up on his last sentence before vanishing into the darkness laughing.

"So it's Discord again?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight..

"Yep, Discord again." She replied back

As the Mane 6 wandered down the seemingly never ending corridors they noticed it was even more sick and twisted than Discord's maze ever was, With a few dead ends being blocked by brainwashed ponies, Other junctions which kept repeating themselves over and over again, And even some paths leading to other dimensions.

"Does this maze ever end? I'm starting to lose my puffiness!" Pinkie Pie spoke up after much walking and confusion.

"It looks like there's a way out up ahead!" Twilight said pointing out an exit with a rainbow arch framing the crystal coated doors.

But when they even touched the door, The entire corridor stretched moving the exit far away and blocking it off with 6 separate corridors.

After Twilight let out her trademark groan the ponies were on their way again.

They stopped at a junction with 6 separate paths leading to the exit, With temptations for each of the Mane 6 in each corridor.

Starswirl merchandise for Twilight, Sapphire Shores for Rarity, A party for Pinkie Pie, Wonderbolt applications for Rainbow Dash, A bountiful amount of Zap Apples for Applejack, And the rarest most exotic creatures ponykind has ever seen for Fluttershy, Without wasting any time all six ponies charged at their temptations with glee, Upon touching their temptations they vanished and the doors sealed behind them.

"From this point on, You six walk alone." Darkwing said sealing the ceilings and placing a magic dampening spell on his own maze.

"OK it's definitely Discord again." Rainbow Dash said noticing the changes to Darkwing's maze.

"We need to get to the exit as soon as possible!" Twilight told the girls in a serious tone.

"My Pinkie Sense is telling me that all these paths lead to the same exit." Pinkie Pie said adorning her always flawless future telling talent.

"How do you know that, Pinkie?" Twilight asked the pink psychic mare.

"Just a hunch." She replied.

"OK let's move! For Equestria!" Twilight bellowed, And almost immediately the Mane 6 were darting down the corridors at what seemed almost like light speed.

"Yes ponies, Take the bait." Darkwing said observing the whole thing on his HDTV.

Suddenly a Draconequis appeared behind him with an array of mashed up body parts and a twisted look in his eye, "You know this was initially my idea." He said to Darkwing.

"Discord, What are you doing here?" He replied back to smug looking creature

"Even though I was reformed I have to commemorate your work, Darkwing, Although I don't see how it's any different from when i tried this whole maze plan." Discord told him with a slight note of dissaproval on his face.

"Because, Discord, While you used demonic parlour tricks to change these ponies, I'm using heartbreak to take control of them." Darkwing replied back the the Draconequis.

"Heartbreak? Do tell, My father." He replied creating a moving back armchair with some curiosity on his face.

"It's simple really, I show these ponies augmented realities of them being hated by everyone they ever loved in the past, And once they're crying a waterfall on the floor i'll take my hold on them personally." Darkwing told Discord in an even more smug face than usual.

"Darkwing! You don't mean?!" Discord said started to show signs of fear.

"Oh I mean it all right, But enough quibbling over the details of my plan, It looks like Twilight Sparkle is about to be the first to suffer at the hands of my fake heartbreak." He said watching Twilight on his HDTV step into a room with her cutie mark engraved on the doors.

If any of you don't like crying ponies turn to part 8 right now

If not read on and watch Darkwing make the ponies cry themselves to darkness in part 7.

Part 7: The Fake Heartbreak

Twilight was now standing in front of a door with a rainbow and dark-purplish arch bordering it, Engraved in the door's woodwork was Twilight's cutie mark over and over again.

"Well it looks like this is the only way forward." She said to herself motioning her hoof to open the door, As the doors started to move Twilight could see nothing but blinding light on the other side.

"Well this is different." She said walking through the door into the light.

On the other side of the light Twilight saw the Crystal Empire in clear view, only it was a lot more ruined than pristine now, Blood came from the corpses of dead crystal ponies and the castle was truly in dark shape, With it now looking dark and deformed and a pillar of darkness rising from the spire.

"TWILIGHT!!!" A voice came from behind her.

She turned around to see Princess Cadence and Shining armour behind her, Although they looked more battle scarred and angrier than usual.

"Brother, Sister, What happened here?" The confused alicorn asked the two ponies behind her.

"Spare us the pleasantries Twilight, What we want to know is WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!" Princess Cadence asked her in a furious tone of voice that Twilight had never seen before.

"Fighting Darkwing, Where else?" She said back to the two angry horses.

"Yeah right, More like abandoning your family!" Shining Armour told her in his rarely seen furious state, "After you left to find him, He appeared out of nowhere and overpowered the Crystal Empire in split seconds, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!"

"Wait, Darkwing came here?" She said back to her furious brother.

"Aided with Queen Chrysalis and the Changelings, They stormed the palace, Destroyed mine and Shining's horn, And captured the Crystal Heart within 20 seconds BECAUSE YOU ABANDONED US FOR THOSE STUPID FRIENDS OF YOURS!!!!!!" Cadence said with a death-bearing glare in her eyes.

"Abandoned? Cadence I-I could never-"

"Just leave us alone Twilight! Just leave us again for those Mean 6 you're more likely known as" Shining finished to her.

"YOU DON'T DESERVE THOSE WINGS!!! IN FACT YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BEAR THE SPARKLE FAMILY NAME!!!!!!" Cadence followed up crying a waterfall afterwards.

"Cadence, Shining, Please don't go, Don't go, DON'T GO!!!!!" After the 3rd don't go Twilight started crying like she's never cried before in her life, And as she cried the area around her returned to pitch black, And Darkwing appeared next to the sobbing alicorn with a sad look on his face.

"What's wrong Twiley? Did the big bad ponies say something cruel to you?" Darkwing asked her putting on an award-winning caring-for-crying-ponies performance.

"I've just been abandoned by the only people i could call a family, If that's what you're asking." Said the crying Twilight.

"You know, Twi? Even though i'm evil i can't bear to see you crying like this, So i'll make you happy again" Lied Darkwing charging up a hypnosis+mutation spell in his free hand.

"Really?" Twilight asked him.

"Of course darling, Helping crying ponies is one of my good-guy points." He said before slamming the spell in Twilight's face, The spell turned twilight human and also gave her a dramatic face lift, Her hair became pure black and fiery styled, Her eyes had turned dark purple just like the spell's colour, And to top it all off, She was now wearing black spiky battle armour that could capture the hearts of 1,000 men in seconds, Which came with it's own tomahawk and trademark Darkwing wings.

"Your name is Princess Black Hole." He addressed the hypnotized Twilight, "And in my kingdom you are the princess of dark magic and next in line for the throne after I die"

Twilight accepted the lies Darkwing just told her and was now leading a human army that Darkwing conjured up afterwards.

"Run to the exit and the others will come soon." He said to Twilight as she left the AR room in her new evil form.

"Well that was fun, don't you think, Discord?" He asked the now caged draconequis.

"You're a madman! I mean i know i corrupted the ponies beyond comprehension when you sent me, But i never turned them into weapons of mass destruction!" He said in argument with the angel.

"Well whether you like it or not we can simply say, One down, FIVE TO GO!!!!" Darkwing said crossing out Twilight's pony picture with blood.

As the other ponies entered their rooms of corruption they were met with some of their worst abandonments, Pinkie Pie was scorned by everypony in Ponyville in her room, To which Darkwing turned her into his own pet werewolf which he called Party Animal, Darkwing simulated the apples selling the farm to Filthy Rich (Diamond Tiara's father) to which he turned Applejack into Shadow Stampede, The leader of his new cavalry troops, When he created the Mane 6 turning on Fluttershy in the forest, She was then known as Hollow Light, The ruler of the "Pets" Darkwing kept in storage, After Rarity, almost having a heart attack, had seen that her boutique now lied in ruins, She turned to Darkwing in her hour of need and transformed into Radiant Darkness, The leader of Darkwing's infantry and archers, And once he faked the Wonderbolts Despising Rainbow Dash, He turned the last standing Spirit Of Harmony into Black Maelstrom, His new Weather Mage.

Once all the Spirits Of Harmony were mutated beyond comprehension, Darkwing returned them all and himself to the Altar Of The Ages, Where his Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had just finished hacking the last firewall, Materializing The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin in front of all their eyes.

"Mine, All mine, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS THEY'RE FINALLY MINE!!!!" He said picking up the two stones which looked like the fakes from earlier but were now pulsating with their own respective energy.

We helped you know." Silver Spoon spoke up interrupting Darkwing's moment in the spotlight.

"Yes, Yes, It's yours and mine together." He said back to the wise-cracking girl with glasses.

"Now we have work to do, Girls." He said to all eight of his sick and twisted creations before he finished saying, "It's time to dethrone Princesses Celestia and Luna!"

Meanwhile in Dark Neospace, Discord after much futile attempts finally escaped from the cage.

"I can't just let Celestia suffer." He said to himself, "I've got to get Fluttershy and the others back to normal!"

And with that he vanished with a burst of light to warn Celestia of what was about to happen.

Author's Note

So what's gonna happen next time?

With the Mane 6 Corrupted by Darkwing, And The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin in his possession, Is it really the end for Equestria?

Read the next part to find out.

Part 8: The Doomed Equines

As Darkwing and his eight angels of darkness took flight towards Canterlot Castle, He slammed The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin together to create The Stone Of Age And Youth, It looked a little more spikier than usual, and its dark purple colour had mashed with the rainbows of the other side to create what looked like a black gemstone with a rainbow outline.

"Pretty neat trick you pulled off there, Darkwing." Diamond Tiara said to Darkwing to compliment his new creation.

"That's only an appetizer of the power that is to come, Ladies." He replied back to the winged monstrosities which were once ponies, "We'll be arriving in Canterlot Castle shortly, So i'd suggest charging up your most powerful dark magics to break the shield surrounding it."

Sparing no time to answer in words, The Eight Angels Of Darkwing started brandishing their own unique weapons, Twilight's tomahawk, Fluttershy's dragon spell, Applejack's rain of destruction, Rarity's gemstone storm, Rainbow Dash's new black hurricane spell, and to finish it up, Pinkie Pie's 4th wall laser.

After the Corrupted Mane 6 broke through the shield, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started destroying the castle ceiling with their powerful weapons of doom, Upon landing in the royal throne room, Diamond Tiara impaled all the castle guards surrounding them with her new crystalline scythes, While Silver Spoon destroyed Celestia and Luna's own forcefields.

"It's over Celestia, You lost!" Darkwing said to her in his sinister voice, No sooner had he started to use his new Stone Of Age And Youth, When who should restrain him but... DISCORD!!!

"Stop it Darkwing! You've gone too far this time!" The Draconequis said while holding Darkwing's hands behind his back, After turning around he transformed the Mane 6 Back to their original pony states, Don't ask why, It's Discord we're talking about here.

"YOU... YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!" Darkwing said freeing his hands from Discord's grasp and shooting him with his dark lightning fingertips.

"Where are we? And why are we wearing battle armour?" Said Twilight being the first to come to.

As Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were about to launch an attack on the Mane 6, Darkwing said, "No you two, Let me deal with the Spirits."

"BEGONE LITTLE EQUINES!!!!" Darkwing said throwing Discord out the window, upon Discord's departure Darkwing started forming dark lightning in his hands which he then shot up into the roof, Upon colliding with the rooftop marble the lightning of Darkwing started to surround the throne room turning it into complete darkness, Darkness which swallowed everypony and everybody in the room.

"When the Spirits of harmony got a good grasp on their surroundings they noticed a lot had changed, They were in another Dark Neospace arena, although this one was more threatening than the last, The reason was the other side of the arena led into deep space with nothing to stand or hold on to.

As Darkwing pulled out his massive chainsaw like swords he charged at the Mane 6 and the battle began.

It was a long and fierce battle with hundreds of blood being spilled from both sides, albeit more pony blood than angel blood, the girls were still miraculously hanging on by a thread, Swords and magics were being flung back and forth, and just after the ponies dealt their Friendship Is Magic finishing blow again... Darkwing yelled, "TIME STOP!!!!"

At this moment Darkwing flew back into a spell which looked like an archaic clock and bound himself to it, The girls all tried their best to break the spell but it proved to be to hard to handle, with hundreds of darkwing clones warping out of the archaic clock all slashing and firing away at the ponies, Not even the Party Cannon could scratch the clock spell.

After the clock's hands made a full rotation the ponies were all blinded by a ray of light and Darkwing looked completely healed and ready to fight again.

"UUUGGHHH!!! NOT AGAIN!!!" Said a frustrated Twilight as Darkwing started the fight all over again, And it went down the exact same way as before.

"TIME STOP!!!!" He proclaimed again, Once more binding himself with the clock.

The Mane 6 had a better luck this time finally being able to smash the clock and leaving Darkwing back in the throne room, Scarred by the pain Twilight and friends dealt to him.

"UUGGHH, Pathetic little horses, Looks like it's time for Plan B!" He said flying out onto the peak of the mountain that Canterlot was hanging onto.

At the mountain's peak Darkwing held up The Stone Of Age And Youth and charged it with his wounds, After it had absorbed enough of his pain, The stone started playing a song with the most archaic instruments and lyrics ever heard by ponykind.

"Behold!!! The Song Of Youth!!!" He said spreading the strangely hypnotic tune throughout all of Equestria, "All who hear this song return to the age of 0.001!"

"He's making everypony one day old! Cover your ears, Girls!"Twilight warned her friends whilst casting an earmuffs spell on each of them before equipping her own.

Even so, It didn't save the princesses and the other ponies from the song's wrath, As the musical notes wrapped themselves around the princesses ears, It transformed them both into foals, And even though they had been transformed already Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were also affected by Darkwing's song of youth, Reverting them into infant ponies, along with the princesses.

"Now, Girls... Imagine that on ALL OF EQUESTRIA!!!!!!!" Darkwing told them as he amplified the song's reach to the other regions of Equestria.

Canterlot, Ponyville, Cloudsdale, The Crystal Empire, No place or pony escaped the song of youth.

As the last ponies turned back into foals, Darkwing silenced the song of youth and took off the girls earmuffs.

"Now you six are all alone in this world, Nopony has the capability or maturity to help you anymore." He gloated to them evilly before teleporting them back to Twilight's Library.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight in a sense that she knew it was already over for them.

"I-I don't know, For the first time in my life I don't know what to do!" she responded with worry on her face.

With everypony as foals and the mane 6 being the only ponies left, Has Darkwing won and destroyed friendship?

Also, The song of youth is a reference to the Dreambeats.

Part 9: The New Ruler

Twilight paced back and forth through the library scanning her books in split seconds looking for a way to remove the effects of the Song Of Youth, After many hours of book scanning and tossing she eventually found an article in Equestria's Atlas, Called Equestrian Artifacts And Relics, She carefully and slowly flipped the pages reading aloud each page as she went along until she stopped flipping at "The Stones Of Knowledge And Ruin."

"If the stones are in here, Then there must be a subsection with the Song Of Youth, And how to cast and break its dark powers." She told the girls after they finally woke up from what seemed like ten hours of sleep.

"Aha! I've got it!" She said looking down at some text in a little border just to the right of the stones' picture.

"The Song Of Youth, With this spell, You can return all who hear its bizarre lyrics into powerless newborns, However, This spell can be counter-acted with an alicorn stabilization spell." She read aloud to the other ponies in the library.

"Well, What are we waiting for? Let's have Twilight perform the spell now!" Rainbow Dash said after hearing Twilight's description.

"It's not that simple, Rainbow, In order for the spell to work we need to cast it in the place where the Song Of Youth was first played." She replied back.

"But the song was played in Canterlot Castle, And we're stuck in Ponyville with no means of transport!" Rarity said to break the confidence of the others.

"Well then we'll just have to use the Party Cannon to get there!" Pinkie spoke up which lit up their eyes with confidence again.

"This is gonna be AWESOME!!!" Rainbow Dash said in perfect sync with Pinkie.

But no sooner had they stopped when they felt an earthquake hit the library causing all the stacked books to tumble to the floor, It got worse from there as Canterlot Castle started to levitate into the now stormy sky above, With a new horrific look.

The castle was now bigger, Larger, And coated with black spikes, And if that wasn't enough, It now had a forcefield surrounding its new midair position.

It no longer looked like Canterlot Castle, But more like Castle Oblivion painted black, From the balcony at the tallest tower Darkwing started conjuring some crazy dark magic, Dark magic which struck all the foals in equestria.

"Citizens Of Darktopia!" Darkwing pronounced to everyone, "Since assuming the throne, I now have a new decree to place, Ahem, From this moment forth, PRINCESS TWILIGHT AND THE SPIRITS OF HARMONY ARE NOW CONSIDERED PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1! AND AS SUCH MUST BE BROUGHT INTO CUSTODY AND DELIVERED TO MY STONE OF YOUTH AND AGE! That is all."

"What the hay was that about?" Applejack said in worry.

"I don't know, But it looks like Darkwing's foals don't want us to leave." Twilight said pointing out the new superpowered unicorn and pegasus babies.

"This doesn't look good." Fluttershy said to break the silence, "I'm just gonna head home for the night and hopefully this will all be over when i wake up."

As she tried to leave the library through the window, Fluttershy got fried by a beam of teal light coming from foal Lyra's horn, This knocked her back into some bookshelves and made her smaller than the other girls, much like Applejack's old Poison Joke curse.

"Don't even think to try to do it again, Fluttershy, Foal magic can be very unstable if not properly handled." Twilight told her in an I-told-you-so style.

"Hang on a second girls, I think we have a perfect line of fire!" Said Twilight now pointing the Party Cannon at the flying castle.

She then stuffed the others into the cannon's barrel before fitting herself in, It would have been a tight fit if not for Pinkie purchasing the extra large barrel attachment two days ago.

Hold on everypony! This is gonna be fast, Faster-than-sonic-rainboom fast!" She said lighting the fuse with some new fire magic (Compliments of Sunset Shimmer).

Much to her warning it was fast, The girls felt like their faces were gonna peel off, Except Rainbow Dash who just bore a giant smile saying, "THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!"

When they collided with the barrier it reduced their airspeed drastically upon impact, But it was still enough to shatter it and have the girls land on the front door courtyard with dizzy looks on their faces.

Well, Girls, This is it." Twilight said as the double doors leading into Darkwing's Castle opened, Letting out a torrent of dark magic into the sky, Intensifying the storm above.

"We need to find Darkwing and destroy his Stone Of Youth And Age!" She said pointing out the mission objective to the other girls, "That way he won't ever be able to harm anypony ever again."

Part 10: Castle Of The Dark

The castle's insides were a lot larger than Twilight had expected, comparing the outside to the inside of Darkwing's castle was merely just a TARDIS-ism.

"A warm welcome to the Dark Citadel!" Said Queen Chrysalis, descending from the ceiling.

For those of you who missed the royal wedding episode, Queen Chrysalis has a completely black body and insect like wings, The holes all over her skin suggested she looked like a swiss cheese gone horribly awry.

"How did you survive that thunderous blast?" Rainbow Dash asked the Changeling queen with a look of confusion on her muzzle.

"Remember, Darkwing has some pretty nifty tricks up his sleeve, As i was about to impact on the cold hard ground, Darkwing opened a portal to the Dark Neospace and let me and my subjects fall through it." She explained to the six friends.

"So you decided to live with Darkwing?" Twilight asked her.

"It's not just me living with him you know." She said in response.

After finishing the last line all the other creatures the girls had fought before returned before their eyes, Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, And even Sunset Satan (See what i did there?)

"But that's impossible!" Twilight said in uproar and confusion, "We defeated you, All of you!"

"Pathetic princess, You don't know Darkwing's true strength don't you?" Nightmare Moon told them.

"The Elements Of Harmony you six brandished cannot destroy darkness, Only imprison it." Sombra followed up.

"And with time the elements' bonds weaken, Allowing the darkness to escape once more!" Said the demonic creature finishing up their 3 sentence explanation.

"Enough stalling, You four, Put up the forcefield and scatter already!" Darkwing said now appearing above all four entities of darkness.

"Yes Master Darkwing!" Came from all four dark entities.

As instructed, The four being of darkness used all their dark magics and crossed their respective beams on the stairs leading upwards, This in turn created an impenetrable forcefield with 4 separate portals, As all the beings of darkness flew through their own respective portals, Darkwing said before vanishing to his throne room, "If you girls wish to end my reign, You'll have to get through them first!"

"Well, We've got no other way of getting up there, So we'll just have to play his little game!" Twilight said to her friends.

As they started to gather up speed they all leaped into the first of 4 portals, Unbeknownst to what lied on the other side.

"Yes little equines, Take the bait, And be forever destroyed by your memories!" Darkwing said watching the whole thing on his throne room's HDTV.

"The girls are coming for you, Darkwing! You know what these ponies are capable of!" A now caged Discord was yelling to him.

"Calm down, distopia, Take a chill pill why don't ya? I know the elements give them strength, And my dark beings know how to counter-act their friendship powers now, This time the Spirits Of Harmony will fall and Equestria WILL BE MINE!!!!!!" Darkwing said before changing the channel to portal number 1.

Author's Note

So

4 portals, 4 enemies from the past, And 6 ponies.

Who do you think is first?

Castle Of The Dark: Nightmare Moon

The moment when the Mane 6 landed on the portal's other side, they knew something was familiar somehow, as their surroundings were exactly familiar to when they vanquished Nightmare Moon all those years ago.

Although this was extraordinarily reminiscent of the Elements' awakening, Something seemed wrong somehow, And it didn't take long to notice that there were black cracks running all across the sky and temple, Expelling pure darkness at every waking moment of this memory.

"Something seems wrong about this," Twilight said acknowledging the ruins' new horrifying decorations of black cracks.

"I know, Look at all those black cracks, They're just so... so tacky!" Rarity spoke up.

"No, It's not that they look bad, It feels like these cracks are giving Darkwing and his monsters' ultimate power." She said back too the white mare.

"Well 5 points for the princess!" Nightmare Moon said materializing in the recreated ruins.

"Nightmare Moon, We meet again!" Twilight announced to the fiendish night-haired alicorn.

"Ah yes, I remember now, The Elements Of Harmony were awakened here many moons ago, And now 30 moons later, These pitiful trinkets are gonna get destroyed by me!" She spoke to the girls with a sly look on her face.

"Not a chance!" Rainbow Dash replied to Nightmare Moon's comment, "These are no mere friendship bracelets, They are the only thing keeping Darkwing from getting claws on Equestria, And we're not giving them up without a fight!"

"Very well then, Foolish mares of light, Marshall your power and TRY TO STOP ME!!!!!" She spoke in her royal Canterlot voice before warping her and the Mane 6 to another dimension.

"This new existence was entirely in outer space, With no gravity or footholds to support the seven battling equines as they fought.

"Check it out everypony, No wings!" Pinkie Pie said as a little joke.

"Pinkie, This is no time for your jokes, We have a Princess to defeat, Again." Twilight spoke back to the pink mare.

As the battle in space drew out for more than 10 minutes, Nightmare Moon started volleying all kinds of new dark archaic magic she had gained from Darkwing, Stuff like actual meteor showers and black holes which fired lasers, And as the cherry on top, HEALING POWERS! The Mane 6 felt limp after fighting with Nightmare Moon for what seemed like forever, But with one final extraordinarily lucky shot from Rarity and Twilight, Nightmare Moon started reeling back.

Utilizing the Elements to their will, The Mane 6 Vaporized Nightmare Moon with a MLP FIM Hadouken, Which returned them to Darkwing's Castle.

When the girls returned to the castle, The forcefield had been weakened, and one of the portals was now closed.

"One down, Three to go!" Twilight said viewing the portals' closure.

After she finished the girls took a little rest before charging through the 2nd of 4 portals, One which left them even more dizzy than before.

Castle Of The Dark: Queen Chrysalis

Upon reaching the next world, The Mane 6 discovered they were back in Canterlot Castle, Only this time it was a little more different than usual, There were Cocoons housing sleeping ponies hanging from the ceiling, And black thorns were crawling around the pillars and ceiling.

"OK this is getting weird, Weird beyond even my standards." Pinkie Pie said to the others.

"I know, It looks like Darkwing is giving our memories an even darker twisted visage." Twilight said pointing out the obvious.

"But it doesn't look like anypony's here at the moment, Let's just get back to the castle." Rainbow Dash said to her friends.

"Don't count your changelings before they hatch!" Said Chrysalis, Bursting from one of the cocoons above, Causing it's remnants to splatter down all around the girls.

"You?!" Rarity spoke to the insect-like pony queen.

"Yes, Me, But this time you haven't got your dear couple to save you this time." Chrysalis spoke back in reply.

"Oh yeah, Where the hay is Shinin' Armour and Cadence?" Applejack popped the question.

"In this other dimension, They don't even exist!" Chrysalis said back to the cowgirl-like horse.

"Don't exist? Then how are we supposed to beat you?" Twilight asked.

"How do you beat me?" She said laughing, "You can't! You're all alone with your precious jewelry."

"Oh yeah? Well we'll see about that!" Dash said charging in fury to Chrysalis who just bitchslapped her out the window and into the sky of cracks.

"So you wish to challenge me? BIG MISTAKE!!!!" Said the changeling queen.

After she finished the arena mutated into a blood stained throne room with insect cocoons and spider webs as large as towers surrounding the seven fighters.

As the battle began, Chrysalis immediately triplicated herself twice, Making 9 Queen Chrysalises in total, all of which donned the visage of Twilight with an evil look on their faces.

A chorus of "YOU'RE THROUGH!!!!" Came from all nine fake Twilights who were now volleying insane dark magic at the real Twilight and friends. As the battle drew on, The Mane 6 eventually lost sight of the real Twilight through all the perfectly identical fakes.

"Where is she?" Fluttershy said with a horrified and confused look on her face.

As it got longer and more brutal, All the Mane 6 were back together and now pounding the real Queen Chrysalis with FIM Moves.

"It's not over yet!" she said as changelings started to hatch from the hanging cocoons above, All donning the visages of Twilight's friends, And immediately dropping thousands of smoke bombs to confuse the Mane 6 even farther.

It was pure chaos as the smoke cleared, With thousands of Mane 6's tearing up the battlefield in an attempt to destroy the fakes/reals.

"You see now Twilight?! YOU CAN'T WIN!!!" Chrysalis said finally removing her clones and fake Twilight disguises.

"Oh yeah? Before we came in, We implanted tracking devices on each other in case you were behind this portal." Twilight said triumphantly.

As all the tracking devices sprang to life, As did the Spirits Of Harmony, Now that they were reunited they charged up and released a Friendship Is Magic Hadouken and Chrysalis met her end.

Upon returning to The Citadel Of Darkness the girls took another breather and leapt through portal 3

Darkwing was watching it all in the throne room, Petting the now infant Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon on his laps.

"I get why you brought everyone back, But i don't get why you still need these two girls." Discord said now chained up in his cell.

"Filthy Rich and Sterling Silver failed to raise these two to be pure evil, I on the other hand won't make the same mistake!" He said back to the caged spirit of chaos, "Now if you don't mind i'm watching Ponies v.s Darkness 3 and i don't want any distractions."

Only two are left standing inbetween the ponies and Darkwing

Who is fighting and dying next?

We'll find out soon enough

Castle Of The Dark: King Sombra

On this portal's other side lied the Crystal Empire, In even worse shape than with Twilight's fake heartbreak, There was now black energy flowing out of the castle's peak and colliding with a black hole in the sky, The city and crystal ponies now lie in ruins, And it looked like someone had given the guards Cupcakes-isms.

"Well, This is new." Rarity said acknowledging the once great city now wrapped in darkness.

"It just doesn't seem right though, Cadence and Shining Armour have command over this kingdom, They wouldn't just let it fall into the forces of darkness." Twilight said to the others in a concerned tone.

"Well believe it or not, Look who's fighting for their lives!" Rainbow said pointing at a gap in the pillars where Cadence and Shining Armour were dueling an unknown opponent.

"We've gotta get over there fast!" Twilight said back to the rainbow haired mare before galloping off towards the castle.

When they entered the castle, It was in even worse shape than the outside suggested, With blood trickling down the walls, Banners of Darkwing unfurled in every corridor, And all the guards (Including Flash Sentry) had been brutally murdered.

"Twilight!" Shouted Shining Armour, Still clashing with the unknown pony.

But after letting his guard down for even two seconds to see Twilight's face, The mysterious opponent impaled both Shining Armour and Cadence with a dark laser from his almighty red tinted horn.

"Brother, Sister, NOOOO!!!!!!" She screamed grieving at the immediate loss of her only family outside of her family.

"What a sight." Said the pony unfurling his hood, Upon revelation the opponent turned out to be King Sombra, A black skinned unicorn with a twisted look on his face.

"YOU!!!!" Said the now infuriated fire-haired Twilight.

"Who is this you ya speak of?" Applejack asked her.

"King Sombra, The former ruler of the Crystal Empire, He was tyrannical in his rule, Blackmailing his subjects to do all his work just because he could perfectly recreate their fears." Twilight explained back to the others.

"Yes, And although the Crystal Heart's powers sent me to Tartarus, Darkwing busted me out with nothing but his bare hands, And now that i'm free again, I can take revenge on the Crystal Empire and all of it's subjects and royalty!" Said the fiendish unicorn king.

"Then we'll just have to send you back to Tartarus where you belong!" Dash said raising her voice and charging at the king.

"Foolish equines, You have no idea what i'm capable of!" He said before turning into his trademark vapor form and started shooting at the pegasus with his dark powers, "You cannot stop the darkness, You cannot stop fear, AND AS SUCH YOU CANNOT STOP ME!!!!!!"

As they started to do battle, The arena changed into complete darkness which seemed endless, Sombra's Trademark dark eyes were everywhere you could think of, And in the centre of the arena the real Sombra materialized now brandishing 2 giant scimitars with dark spikes and blood decorating them.

As the fight raged on, Sombra started delving deep into everypony's minds and using their fears as weapons, Fears so dark and evil that if i showed you them, You would be crouching behind the couch shitting your pants till they break.

But still as the magics were volleyed from both sides, It was the Mane 6 who started to get weary first, Enabling Sombra to deal a killer combo with his twin scimitars.

Twilight and friends started coughing up blood, As if they knew Sombra was something darker than all the others.

"I told you ladies, NOTHING CAN STOP MY POWERS!!!!" Sombra said announcing his victory to the blood coughing mares.

"D-Don't be s-so s-sure S-Sombra!" Twilight said as if she was gonna pass out.

As she got up, So did the other Spirits, All brandishing their elements and firing at Sombra.

"This is impossible! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!" Sombra said before dying in the stream of rainbow light.

Upon landing back in Darkwing's castle once more the girls took a longer break than the last times, They knew they had suffered massive wounds during Sombra's battle, And that they needed time to rest and recuperate.

"OK, One left, Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said after scrambling to her hooves.

"If these portals are all based around our memories than there's a good chance that this Sunset is obviously fake." Said Pinkie as if she knew that Sunset Shimmer really existed in the other dimension known as Canterlot High.

"You're right Pinkie, But there's one thing i forgot to tell you about during my first trip..."

Darkwing was still in his throne room, Watching it all word for word, "OK now girls, You go on and play now." He said before taking Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon into a nursery-like room.

"OK Darkwing, I'll bite, Why did your song of youth affect them as well?" Discord said now being lowered into what looked like an incinerator.

"I'm giving these two one more chance to defeat the Spirits Of Harmony, But in order for victory to be assured, I must make sure they rest up their bodies and powers for the oncoming storm." He said back watching the two infant schoolfillies playing in the nursery, "Once they return to their black angel forms, Their powers will go through the roof!"

"So you plan to overpower two innocent children through youth?" Said the Draconequis, Now with shock collars and straps planted all around his body.

"Exactly!" Darkwing said before returning to his throne and magicing up some fanta and salted popcorn, "But first, it's time for the final round of our little game, And their final opponent is Sunset Satan, I always save the best for last!" He finished laughing.

A rematch is due don't you think?

Humane 6 V.S Sunset Satan 2 "The Duel For The School"

To be Applejack here, I can't wait for the next part either

Castle Of The Dark: Sunset Satan

On the last portal's other side was a large structure wrapped in thorns of fire, With thousands of citizens inside.

"Wait a minute, this isn't right!" Twilight said as soon as she noticed the torched stronghold.

"I know, We look really weird." Rainbow Dash said in her new host body, "Who the hell would design this outfit?! It totally clashes with my hair.

"No, not the human form, I mean this place wasn't on fire when she appeared." She said back.

"That's probably because Darkwing can alter someone's memories as well." A two-toned voice said from the rooftop.

"And just when i thought this could not get any worse!" Said Rarity looking at the new arrival flying down in front of them.

"This is how it went down, Twilight, Don't you remember?" Said the demonic lifeform, "But it still needs one more finishing touch."

In split seconds, Sunset Satan pulled another Chrysalis's Bridesmaids-ism on all the humans inside,Giving them eyes as black as Darkwing's wings, and granting them archaic weapons not seen in Equestria or Earth.

"There, Perfection." She said admiring her new advanced army of darkness.

"Yep, This is definitely how it went down." Twilight said taking a closer look at the zombified humans.

"Although this time... You'll be defeated at the hands of me!" Sunset Satan said before hurling an enormous meteor at the Mane 6

"I'm almost glad we weren't allowed to go through the first time this happened." Fluttershy said hiding behind the portal back.

"Now before you die in flames, I have a quick question for you, The safety of Equestria? Or Canterlot High? Which is more important to you?" The demon asked Twilight.

"Equestria, Of course!" She said back.

"Wrong answer Twilight, Looks like Darkwing was right after all, You don't have what it takes to save Equestria!"Sunset said back in Twilight's response.

"I was wrong?" She asked.

"Your world and my world are linked by an extraordinary occurrence known as A Light Fracture, To be truthful, Twilight, Both Equestria and Canterlot High were both intended to be created as one world, However.... One day during the creation of existance, The 2 worlds were unbound by the ripples of their own creation, Thus separating both worlds physically and magically, In short, If Canterlot High gets destroyed, SO DOES EQUESTRIA!!!!!" She said explaining it to Twilight and friends.

"But how? How could i not know that?" She asked the demon in the sky.

"It's really quite simple really, It's because Darkwing told me everything and told you nothing!" Sunset Satan said to her opposition, "Now then.... LET'S REWRITE HISTORY SHALL WE?"

At this time, The high school turned into Volcanic crevasse with fire streaming down from the mountains, And pillars of fire were rising from the battleground unexpectedly, Sunset Satan was now wrapped in armour and brandishing a gargantuan whip adorned with spikes and blood.

"Although it took the others time to transition from hooves to legs, Twilight was already dueling Sunset with her Sword Of Magic, Once the others all got their feet working, They were now brandishing their own weapons and charging at her, Fire and blades were being slung back and forth across the field, And at some points in the battle, Sunset Satan used her death-whip to disarm the girls.

"Just give up to me now, And i'll spare your lives, Be glad i'm merciful unlike Darkwing." Said the demon to the girls.

Twilight and friends simply ignored reasoning and charged for their weapons.

"Still rebellious I see, SEIZE THEM!!!!" She ordered the demon possessed students to wear them down, Twilight was the first to know the humans charging at them, And swatted them back like flies, After fighting back what seemed like the entire school, Twilight and friends were once again turning their attention to Sunset Satan.

"You can't possibly defeat me! I hold the crown of magic, And you six only have swords." She said to the Mane 6.

"Oh yeah? Well these are no ordinary swords!" Said Twilight as the swords started glowing a rainbow-like colour.

"These swords are charged by our undying friendship, And as such make both us and our bonds unbreakable!" She said giving a classic friendship monologue as she usually does.

"Seriously, Friendship again?! Come on! It got old after the whole Nightmare Moon thing." Sunset said to the girls.

"Don't you dare question Princess Twilight!" Said another voice now materializing from the actual portal, It was the true Sunset Shimmer.

"You?!" Said the demon.

"That's right, Me, I came here because of the portal's rapid destabilization, And am here to lend Twilight my power to destroy you!" Said the reformed teenager to the demon.

"Good to have you onboard, Sunset, Now come on! Let's end this battle!" Said Twilight.

The seven teenage girls were now radiating pure light and their swords were now blinding the demon, When Sunset Satan opened her eyes, The seven girls were now firing aura slashes at the demon, All seven of which impaled her and caused her to break up in cracks.

"No, NO THIS CAN'T BE!!!! HE PROMISED ME 2ND IN COMMAND!!!!!!!" Were the demon's dying words before creating a rainbow coloured explosion which returned the seven ponies to the castle's entrance.

"Oh my, Things must really be dark here." Said Sunset Shimmer acknowledging Darkwing's castle.

As the 4th and final portal sealed, The forcefield shattered like glass, And the 7 ponies were now walking up the foyer's curling steps to the 1st floor.

In the throne room, Darkwing was laughing at their entrance, "Those ponies think they've won just cause they defeated all my creations, Foolish little equines, I still have my secret weapons at the ready"

In the corner of his right eye were Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Who after much relaxation and infant-hood nostalgia were now radiating a dark aura.

"Now then, Girls, You know what to do, Since we failed to kill the Mane 6 through stealth, We'll just let them come to us, You two guard the throne room and destroy them on sight, Should you fail... Let's say things won't be pretty for you." He said clearly to the two fully aged humanized ponies.

"On it Master Darkwing" Came from them both.

"Run ponies, Run to the throne room and meet your ends!!!!" He finished laughing

Part 11: Climbing The Castle

Once all seven ponies walked through the doors, It got A LOT more twisted, The ceiling and levels all looked severely stretched and twisted, And the only way up was through a series of portals left out in the open.

Stairs?! No way, You are not getting me up those thousands of steps!" Rarity finally snapped at the castle's new even darker insides.

"I've tried pulling off a teleportation spell with Sunset, But it looks like our horns are pretty much giving up on us." Said Twilight showing the others the black cracks on hers and Sunset Shimmer's horns.

"Oh it's no trick little equines. My new castle is nullifying all your magic and wingpowers." Darkwing's voice echoed to them.

"DARKWING!!! COME ON OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF!!! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR TURNING ME INTO THAT... THAT THING!!!!!" Said a now furious Sunset Shimmer.

"Calm your tits darling, I'm simply waiting at the top, Come challenge me if you dare!" His voice said before dissapearing into the top floor.

"Well, Were not gonna finish this by just sitting here doing nothing." Twilight said, "We have to confront him!"

As all seven equines ran up the stairs and through the chain of portals adorning them, they noticed they were getting younger all of a sudden, It only took them 10 floors to notice.

"Hey what's going on? Why have I gone back to my childhood?" Said the filly Rainbow Dash to the others.

"It must be Darkwing's Stone Of Age And Youth, LOOK!" Sunset Shimmer said pointing at the rainbow cracks and leaks coming through the walls.

"He must have spread the stone's powers across this very staircase to turn us into foals before we even got to the throne room doors." Said Twilight in her smartass attitude, "This Darkwing guy is quite possibly the craftiest villain we've ever seen in Equestria so far."

"So how do we move on? He's just gonna make us younger and younger the higher up we go, So let's just fly outside and storm the throne room from the balcony." It would have been a good idea from Rainbow Dash if she hadn't noticed the thousands of god-like foals waiting outside the windows, "OH COME ON!!!!!"

"Looks like the stairs is a one-way trip." Said Twilight now noticing more foals climbing the stairs and through the portals, "Remember everypony, Foal magic is very unstable when not handled properly."

"Tell me about it, Twilight." Pinkie Pie said to the purple alicorn, "When i looked after the Cake Twins, I felt like i was in hell for a good half hour or 2."

"So let's keep moving then! Unless you want that nightmare to reoccur." Sunset Shimmer said now galloping to the throne room with Twilight next to her.

As the other girls climbed the tower, They noticed the curse was no longer affecting them on floor 25, Thank's to the combined strength of Twilight and Sunset Shimmer, The seven girls were now shielded by their own individual forcefields, Forcefields which cancelled out the curse's effects.

"Foolish little ponies, Thinking they can get to me, How pathetic, I have a secret weapon up my sleeve that will bring about their ends." Said Darkwing pushing a button on a new remote.

Upon floor 50 Rarity's horn started pulling her off down another corridor, She wondered what Darkwing would want with gemstones, As the other six girls started giving chase, As the gem radar of Rarity reached it's end, The seven ponies were now on what looked like an ancient gladiator arena with a massive cage door opening in front of them.

As the door vanished nothing but a deafening "ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!!" could be heard from the other side.

"A DRAGON?!" Said a cowering Fluttershy.

"Not just any dragon." Darkwing's voice echoed once more, "Ladies i give to you.... SHIMALGA RATESCA!!!"

The weirdly named dragon was roughly 1,000,000 times the size of all seven ponies with 7 menacing heads each affixed on one pony each, Made entirely out of gemstone and rainbow coloured, Rairty thought she was in both heaven and hell at the same time.

"OK, What's with the Ratesca part?" Said Rainbow Dash.

"It's an acronym for all seven of it's heads, Ruby, Amber, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Cobalt, And Amethyst." Explained Darkwing.

"He's not lying there." Rarity said examining all the gemstone necks and heads together and in closer detail.

"So sorry you couldn't meet me again, But to be honest it's better to die to a dragon than to die at my hands, SICK EM BOY!!!!" Said Darkwing freeing the beast from its shackles and having it charge at all seven mares.

Author's Note

No notes this time.

I'd hate to raise the suspense.

Part 12: Dark Servants

Shimalga Ratesca was now trying to burn the seven ponies with his rainbow coloured fires, Everypony but Sunset Shimmer was affected by the flames, As she was adept at fire magic, Even though this was her strength, Shimalga suddenly took notice and started trying to eat her.

"I could use some help here!" She said as she was being crushed by Shimalga's enormous fangs.

As she was being swallowed, The Mane 6 started pulling out their signature pony weapons and started kicking the crap out of the hydra-dragon.

"Thanks." Came from Sunset as she crawled out of the dragon's guts.

"No problem, We're all in this together." Twilight said to her as she was shaking the dragon saliva off her mane and tail.

"Now we're almost at Darkwing, I can feel his presence getting stronger and stronger." She said as they were now ascending the stairs and portals as rapid speed.

On floor 100, There was an enormous door that looked larger than all of the castle's other doors combined, With Darkwing's thorns wrapped around it, And pulsating pure darkness through the gap of the two doors.

"Well Well Well, Look who decided to show up!" Said a familiar annoying voice, Belonging to Diamond Tiara.

"You two again?! Come on!" Rainbow Dash said to them both with a mix of frustration and confusion.

"We've sustained a gargantuan power boost during our infantile hibernation." Silver Spoon told them slyly.

"There's no way you can possibly defeat us now!" Diamond said in response.

"Of course we'll find a way." Twilight said to them both, "Friendship can conquer any darkness!"

"Really?! That's all you have to say? How pathetic!" Diamond said materializing her crystalline scythes in her hands.

"I've heard enough of those monologues from those blank flanks you call sisters!" Silver Spoon said pulling out her dark staves.

"It's time to meet your end, Girls, I am Diamond Tiara."

"And I am Silver Spoon."

AND TOGETHER WE WILL REIGN TRIUMPHANT!!!!" Came in perfect sync from both of them.

As the combat began outside the throne room doors, Silver Spoon placed a countdown clock above all of the mares' heads, While Diamond Tiara used her new god-like powers to temporarily remove Twilight and friends' Cutie Marks.

"Now this is what i like to see! Untalented ponies, RIPE FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION!!!!!" Diamond said charging at them all with her scythes of pure gemstone.

The battle drew out for longer than they expected, Without their Cutie Marks, The seven mares had a slight power loss during their conflicts with the two winged humans, After what seemed like eternity, Applejack landed an extraordinarily accurate Applebuck on Silver Spoon giving them all their Cutie Marks back.

But even with their butt tattoos back, Diamond Tiara spilled a lot more pony blood than during their last battle, Causing Twilight and Sunset Shimmer to fall onto their knees, And leaving their other friends unconscious due to their countdown clocks reaching zero.

"Now it ends, Twilight, NOW IT ENDS!!!!!!" Diamond said before finishing Twilight with a final slash, This final attack was so powerful that it split Twilight in half!

"Yes! I win! Nopony beats Diamond Tiara!!!!" she said laughing.

"Think again, You cold hearted spawn of a bitch!" Twilight said appearing from the sky and impaling Diamond with her horn before doing the same with Silver.

"What?! But how? How did you-" She stopped when she saw the dead copy vanish, "A FAKE?!"

"Alicorn magic can do some pretty nifty things." Twilight told them, "Like this for example."

Wasting no time, Twilight turned her horn aura Green and cast a magical healing spell on the other spirits causing them to awaken.

"You two are clearly childhood scum, A flawed product of the darkness, And as such you must meet your judgment!" She said before pulling some insane grimdark magic nopony had seen before.

After Twilight moved away, Nothing remained of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon except a pile of ash, Their weapons, Coal, and an incinerated pair of glasses.

"The deed is done, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU NEXT DARKWING!!!!" She said opening the door to the throne room.

Upon entering the throne room, The first thing the girls saw was Darkwing getting up from his throne with an evil grin on his face.

"Good show ponies, Very entertaining." He said as if fakely interested in their recent victory.

"You!" Sunset said to him.

"You girls brought that human obsessed mare with you?! How entertaining is this gonna be!" He said before resummoning all the things from the opening forcefield, And resurrected the pile of ash Twilight had just created.

"I was hoping i wasn't gonna have to use this but you've clearly forced my hand! NOW SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF COMPLETE AND UTTER DARKNESS!!!!" After Darkwing had finished, all the respawned entities of darkness as well as the Stone Of Age And Youth were being absorbed into him, Even Discord who had clearly given up on showing any resistance, As the monsters became part of him again, He started wrapping himself in dark energy and lightning, Before throwing it all into the sky laughing evilly, "NOW LET'S SEE IF YOUR ELEMENTS OF HARMONY CAN STOP THIS!!!!!!"

When the light appeared again, Pinkie asked, "Where's Darkwing?"

Almost immediately after she finished, A giant eye encompassed the entire sky with a dark aura surrounding it.

Final part up next!

Can't believe it guys

It's been one heck of a ride

And now you can finish it up and see who comes out triumphant.

FINALE: The Bonds We Share

What the seven ponies were looking at was not pretty, Darkwing had mutated into a beast roughly 10 times the size of Equestria, With two miniature dragon necks and heads poking out of his waistline, His whole body had been mutated into a dragon-like human with menacing claws, An enormous tail the size of the sun, And massive wings covered in scars, Blood, And fire, On the dragon's forehead was Darkwing, His waist was now fused with that of the dragon's forehead, And he had archaic markings all over his face, Body and wings, And with 2 glowing balls orbiting him, One pink and the other grey, He looked ready to destroy Equestria with one swing of his new dragon form's swords.

"BEHOLD!!!!! MY ULTIMATE FORM!!!!!" He said deafening everypony in the castle.

"What is that thing?!" Rainbow Dash asked with a horrified expression on her face.

"That thing is supposedly Darkwing." Twilight said to her, "But even more powerful than before."

"Pathetic equines, Thinking you could defeat me?! How pathetic, Now, I'M GOING TO DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND END YOUR MISERABLE LIVES!" He said shooting a swarm of massive black fireballs at his castle all of which destroyed it beyond all recognition and leaving the seven horses unconscious.

"I AM VICTORIOUS!!!!!" He said looking at what he assumed were the corpses of the Spirits Of Harmony and Sunset Shimmer.

His assumption was correct, For lying on the courtyard of the castle's remains was a rainbow splattered mess of manes, Tails, Blood and guts, And Cutie Marks.

"In another dimension which looked like endless light, The seven ponies were alive and well, Under the watchful eyes of Celestia, Luna, And a 3rd alicorn none of them had ever seen before.

"What happened, And why does my head feel like i've been destroyed?" Said Twilight coming to first.

"It's because Darkwing has killed you all." The 3rd alicorn said, "Hello, My name is Utopia Light."

The alicorn looked a lot like Celestia, Although her whole coat was rainbow as well as her mane and tail.

"Dead? How can that be?" Sunset Shimmer asked Utopia in a confused tone of voice.

"Don't worry though, You can overcome his powers and save Equestria, All you need to do is let me invoke the final stage of your elements." She said as if ignoring the question and telling the truth..

"Final Stage?" Twilight said puzzled.

"The Elements' strongest powers have been locked away for over 100,000 years, But since Darkwing transformed himself, We'll have to go to drastic measures." Celestia told her.

"Mother? Are you sure they can pull it off?" Luna asked Utopia

"MOTHER?!" Came from all seven ponies in perfect sync.

"Yes, For years I ruled Equestria with my children, Celestia and Luna, For years we frolicked through the flowers, and had fun when i was off duty." She said in a comforting tone, "But one day, Darkness struck the land, And in an attempt to lock it away, I bound myself to the Light Neospace."

"We waited for her to return, For 10,000 years we waited, But nothing." Luna said following up on the explanation.

"So we decided to believe she wasn't coming back, And we personally took charge of Equestria." Celestia finished.

"This is also a pony's final judgment, To determine whether they live forever in Utopius, Or Tartarus." Utopia Light said to them all.

"And i think I can see you all in Utopius after you win, But first, Let's begin your ultimate reincarnation." Celestia said before marking all seven friends with marking lasers.

After the Mane 6 and Sunset were marked, Utopia Light, Celestia And Luna utilized and crossed their magics, Giving all the ponies rainbow coats and hair before slamming them all into one.

"In the courtyard, A pillar of light shone from the corpses and Darkwing shielded his eyes, "WHAT?! NO! IT CANNOT BE!!!!"

The seven ponies were now one with a rainbow of colours streaking from its' coat and hair, It was an alicorn with a Galaxy for a Cutie Mark."

"DARKWING!!! UNDER EQUESTRIAN LAW 4 SECTION 59 AMENDMENT P23, YOU ARE CHARGED WITH EQUINE CORRUPTION AND THE FALSE USE OF THE STONES OF KNOWLEDGE AND RUIN!! ANY LAST WORDS BEFORE WE DESTROY YOU?!" Said the alicorn, Her voice was a mix of all ten Light Neospace ponies, And her body was brandishing all 6 Elements Of Harmony.

"ANY LAST WORDS?! HAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT'S A GOOD ONE, GUARDIAN AURORA!" Darkwing named the creature whilst laughing.

"ENOUGH TALK, NOW WE DUEL!!!!!" She said before charging at Darkwing like a shooting star.

The battle was so intense, You'd need to have this music playing in the background to know how epic it was. [youtube=watch?v=JyaWwq4CfTk]

Dark and light magic was being hurled from all sides, As the 2 beings fought each other, The space around them changed to, A black hole, A sun, And even a few supernovae scenes.

"YOU CAN'T WIN, LITTLE PONIES!!! I AM ALL POWERFUL AND YOU ARE ONLY EQUINES!!!!" Darkwing gloated moving his human and dragon bodies in perfect sync to maximise his dark powers.

As the swords and horn kept clashing, Sparks the size of Equestria were sent flying, Which in turn, Set outer space ABLAZE!

In the fire painted cosmos, Aurora was still able to impale Darkwing after what looked like the most brutal battle in the history of MLP FIM.

"NOW TWILIGHT, FINISH HIM!!!" Said another voice as a time rip opened up.

Out of the rip came all the students from Canterlot High, Who also were painted pure rainbow like Aurora.

"OK everyone, Ready?" Said Twilight in the Light Neospace.

"READY!!!" Came from Aurora and the students.

After all throwing their light auras up, 6 Giant rings started forming in front of all the heroes.

"NO! THE HARMONY CANNON?!?! BUT THIS CANNOT BE!!!! IT TAKES LIMITLESS STRENGTH LIKE MINE TO PULL THAT OFF!!!" Darkwing said in a now worried tone.

As all the humans kept the rings up with their auras, Aurora climbed in and started to summon the auras of the Mane 6 behind her.

"GO FINAL FRIENDSHIP LASER!!!!!!" Said everyone at and in the rings, After saying it, Aurora, Sunset, And the Mane 6 were now blasted forward at Darkwing, Enveloped in an enormous rainbow laser that was 10,000 times his size, After the laser impacted, The ten other ponies were now impaling Darkwing's Dragon form, Leaving an enormous hole where his heart should be.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Darkwing screamed after he exploded in the rainbow light taking his pink and grey balls with him.

"After the explosion died down, Everybody and pony was back in the throne room of Canterlot Castle, Where Celestia and Luna were as usually, Sitting down on the thrones.

"An uproar of cheers came from everyone, And Twilight looked outside.

Darkwing's Stone Of Age And Youth was part of his final form, Now that it's destroyed, We can fix everypony." She said before casting the stabilization spell on all of Equestria, The resulting rainbow shockwave returned everypony to their appropriate ages.

"Welcome everyone." Came from Celestia talking to the humans, "It's nice to meet you, My name is Celestia and this is Luna."

"I know it would usually sound weird coming from me but.... Enjoy your time here in Equestria!" She said happily at the fact that they aided in the destruction of Darkwing.

"So this is your home?" Said Twilight to Twilight.

"Yeah, It's quite nice" Said the pony to her human counterpart..

"Wow, This place looks divine." Said Human Rairty.

"You like it?" Said Pony Rrarity.

"Hey! I HAVE MY WINGS BACK!!!" Said Huamn Rainbow Dash.

"Pretty sweet aren't they?" Came from Pony Rainbow Dash.

"What a neat place!"" Came from Human Pinkie.

"Just wait till you see the parties I plan!" Said the Pony Pinike

"Hoo-Wee! This looks like my kinda place." Said Human Applejack.

"Tell me bout it." Came from Pony Applejack.

"Do you have any rare animals?" Came from Huamn Fluttershy.

"The rarest you'll find anywhere." Came from Pony Fluttershy

So now our tale comes to an end, With Darkwing vanquished, Equestria saved, And the humans now able to travel back and forth endlessly without disrupting the balance of their worlds and keeping their human bodies intact, Upon looking into the sky which now donned a rainbow with all the Mane 6's faces above it, We fade to black.

We close into the longest credits ever, Showcasing the cast of My Little Pony next to a montage of the humans looking around Equestria and getting their fare shares of food, Drinks and sights.

Darkwing voiced by me, Thomas Jennett.

Queen Utopia Light voiced by, That girl who played Aelita in Code Lyoko.

THE END.
