Prologue to Darkness (EDITED)

Age 6, Playground at Twilights School

Twilight was lent against a tree reading her favorite book, Cinderella. Twilight always dreamt of being a Princess some day, to learn magic. She went to turn the page with her hand but stopped and decided to do it another way, she scrunched her nose as her ears flicked. Sparks illuminated around a small purple horn that was on her head, slowly the page turned. She always felt proud of this that she was the only one so far able to use magic, albeit only little, but most of the other girls around her detested her for that. Most of the time she was bullied for what she was and she agreed with it really. They claimed she was a bookworm, nothing really offensive to Twilight but she didn't like being the center of attention to all the bullies at her grade.

"Well well look who it is, Little Miss Snarkle, I suppose that's one of those crappy Princess books you're always reading," The main bully, the usual two bit crook you would see, of course, that is, she was six, like Twilight, but to her there was no difference. She was tall and Twilight was small, she looked good, Twilight was about average cute for that age, typical bully that picks on the smaller kids, Twilight shrugged and turned back to her book, "Oy I was talking to you Snarkle, put the book down or else!" The bully said in a threatening tone

"What?"

"What do you mean what, I'll steal it and then bury it where you can't find it you brat," the bully kicked some dirt up at Twilight making her cough, "Ha, now give me that," she grabbed the book and tugged but Twilight wouldn't let go but it was a struggle she wouldn't ever win, eventually the bigger girl snatched the book and passed it to one of her friends behind her who ran off with it.

Twilight sat there and began to cry, "Why would you do that? That was given to me by my grandma,"

"Like I care Snarkle, it wasn't me who ignored someone, you brought it on yourself," the bully laughed and then ran off.

Many years passed like this, the same children picked on Twilight and finally when it came to going to secondary school she asked to go to a different area to learn, hoping to get away from the escalator school and the bullies. Again her hopes were dashed against the wall as her bully had also moved to that school. Rainbow Dash was now athletic and kept a close circle of friends, she became tomboyish over the years and seemed to let off on Twilight a lot more, once Twilight even thought she saw regret on her face whilst dunking her head in the girls toilets.

Just the same as before, the ever popular Rainbow Dash and her minions picked up on the bookworm Twilight Sparkle, behind the scenes they plotted against her and devised a plan, little did they know this is what started everything, it was the thing that triggered the start of this tale.

It was after school and most of the student were ready to leave. As the student one by one left the room, Twilight packed up to head to the library where she usually went, hoping to see TomKin, the tender to the shelves there for the night between four and eight. He had blond hair and blue eyes. Tall and slender he was the epitome of every geek girls dream, of course he was no star in the popular department but he was cool to Twilight.

Once she got there she found that he wasn't, but that never stopped her, instead she decided to stroll the aisles in the fantasy section, she never got rid of her affection to Princess books even with all the trouble from the bullies, she passed some of her favorites that she had read so many time, Nope, read it, read it, read that one too, Oooh but no, hmm......... This one, She picked a book and moved to one of the far tables to sit down and read while she wait for her Prince Charming.

Though he never came, instead she should of wished for a knight on a white horse. Two shadows loomed ever closer too her without her knowing, within seconds a globe of prismatic hair blocked out the light as she was held to the table by the throat, that's when she noticed that both Rainbow Dash and her friend, Peach, held her down, "I'll scream!! Get off of me now Rainbow!!"

Peach giggled slightly, "Y'hear that RD, she wants you to get her off, dirty bitch"

"I said get off me not get me off you mentally sick fuck," Twilight spat out.

Rainbow dash punched her across the face, "You don't get to say that about her"

"That's right"

"Only I do," Rainbow stated, Peach looked a little confused but shook it off, "As for getting you off lets play a little game," Rainbow grinned as she reached into her left pocket pulling out a retractable Stanley knife, "Lets play a game shall we?" The clicks of the Stanley knife boomed in Twilight's head, *CLICK*..*CLICK....*CLICK*...........

"You wouldn't dare, no STOP" Twilight cringed as the Stanley was place between her legs on her skirt, Rainbow slowly brought the knife upwards without touching her skin, cutting the skirt open to reveal her panties, "Please, just stop... please," Tears began to stream down either side of her face as she starred at Rainbow.

Rainbow cringed slightly at the look of Twilight but then turned to Peach who looked giddy making her resolve sky rocket, placing the knife of her top she began to repeat the process and slice the clothes in half showing her bra, "How do you like that you sniveling brat," she grinned wider as she was about to reach the top of the shirt, a light pink blush now upon her cyan skin, before it reached the top though Twilight bolted forward shoving both Peach and Rainbow backward, the Stanley knife slid and landed next to Peach who then grabbed it getting up.

"You stuck up little cow, " she began swinging the blade at Twilight, Rainbow was getting up as she saw the blade pierce Twilight's cheek and glide up her face, a curdling scream emanated from her, "Serves you right you bitch," Peach went to swing again and Rainbow tried to stop her. Just before she got to her though Twilight grabbed the blade and Peach's hand turning them on the girl's stomach, piercing it as blood ran out the wound, Peach then in turn screamed as Rainbow fell to the floor in shock.

A teacher burst through the door and saw two girls on the floor and Twilight stood holding her face that was covered in blood. Immediately he rushed over to Peach seeing that her face was pale and there was blood pouring out of her stomach making a pool of crimson around her body on the floor. Rainbow sat shaking her head with wide eyes staring at the panting Twilight. Between her fingers one sharp luminescent eye stared back at Rainbow sending chills to her core as the other eye bled the crimson through her left hand.

Rainbow could barely hear what was happening now as the Paramedic rushed into the room, one shook her as the others took Twilight walking off and Peach on a stretcher to the hospital to both get treated for their injuries immediately.

Several weeks later

Twilight was treated for her injuries, she lost the sight in her left eye and was left with a scar that spread from the bottom of the cheek all the way to the bottom of her horn and it couldn't be covered with a regular sized eye patch making that option useless. Peach had been rushed into the hospital with her but as they began the operation her heart failed due to blood loss and stress and was later announced dead. Rainbow Dash had come to visit and apologize for what had happen, Twilight had just sat there like marble staring out of her window all the time til she left.

Now with the death of Peach and how it looked when the teacher arrived it didn't matter that Rainbow Dash had said anything about the bullying, at court Twilight was officially sentenced with man slaughter of Peach Smithy, she was to work community service under supervision until the age of eighteen and then placed in the delta max facility for women for the remainder of her fifteen year sentence. At the age of seventeen now she would be in prison for at least ten years before she would be given parole, on another note Rainbow Dash was given a slap on the wrists with eighteen months of Community Service for instituting an assault on another fellow student.

The Sparkle Residence

Outside the Manor, the walls had been marked with writing such as 'Murderer' and 'killer', Twilight was given one month to recuperate before she was to start her community service, at home it wasn't any better now. Shining Armor had begun to resent his little sister for what she had done, her mother had hit her countless times now, the only one who didn't shun her was her father. He understood it wasn't her fault and would be there for her.

A couple of months later

It has been a few months now since Twilight had started the community service. It wasn't bad really, she got half an hour break to read her books and when she stopped her work at nine PM she was told she was allowed to go the the facilities Library to read and pick another book for the next day. Most people who were in the building kept to themselves, she even made a friend for once, Cable, a nice boy in her mind but she knew he did something to get put in here, apparently he had stolen a car and crashed it.

"Hey Twi, That shows on again that you like," Cable said pointing to the TV.

Twilight shuffled passed the tight gap of the Libraries isles to look, "Oh, Yaay~ I'll be right there Cable," even though she sounded happy her face never showed emotion any more, like hardened clay she never smiled or showed any sign of emotion, "One sec, nearly got it."

~BREAKING NEWS~ ~A freeway has been locked up from a car crash earlier this evening, there were a few injured and Seven were killed in the accident. A tanker had collapsed on its side and ignited causing most who were in the fire to perish in the accident~

"That doesn't look too good... Ow he looks burnt to a crisp," Cable said while he cringed.

"What? Whats going on? I thought that my show was on," Twilight asked from the other side of the Library as she was walking back.

Numerous cars were piled in front of a truck on the screen from a helicopters view point as Twilight came around and stood in front of one of the chairs next to Cable, "Whats up Twi, ain't yah gonna sit down, hey whats wrong with you?" Cable noticed a fine line of tears dripping off the end of Twilight's chin.

"That's my dad," Cable turned back to the screen, ~some were unlucky and cannot be recognized, we have blocked most of this for viewing purposes but some have come out... ~ "Oh god, this can't be happening," Twilight ran out of the Library past the guards and straight to the front desk with the guards chasing her, she skidded to a stop in front of the window shocking the women behind the meshed glass, "Please I have to ring my house, I just saw an accident on TV and my dad was on it, please," Suddenly she was grabbed by the two guards as Cable came running up, she struggled to get out of their grasp but eventually they used a needle to calm her down as she fell asleep.

Her Fathers Funeral

They operated on him but, to Twilight's dismay, the burns were too much for him to handle and he passed away, she would no longer feel the last bit of love from her father any more, she was finally truly alone in the world, Shining armor and her mother stood near the grave holding each other at the far end under an umbrella in black clothes as Twilight was stood in cuffs in her Orange jumpsuit, she watched on as they cried, she showed no emotion as the rain moved down her contours, tears unknown to the world joined the rain as she was pulled away back to the van to be taken to the facility.

Nothing left too lose, she wished she was dead, without a cause in this world, no brother, no mother, her father was now gone. She had nothing left to live for, that is when it began.

Suddenly the car span over onto its roof, blood trickled from her nose as she blinked her eyes open again, the person in the front of the car was dead, crushed under the weight of the car with his head smashed open, to his right a women screamed and wailed to get her leg out from the pinned car, clearly they were crushed and she was gonna die from blood loss. Next to Twilight was another guard who had smashed his head against the glass and passed out.

Twilight's senses came too again and she heard a trucks door slam as foot steps grew closer to the toppled car, suddenly the guards door ripped open as a man in a black suit bent down and looked in, he sucked in a bit of his fag before breathing out looking around at them, a small patch of blood was just under his horn on his brow, "So I finally fond you you fuck," he grabbed the passed out guard as Twilight looked at him, spotting her he smiled, "Business babe, hope yah don't die under this car, sorry for the shock," he released the guards seat belt and dragged him out of the car.

"It's your lucky day you fuck, usually you're awake when I pull the trigger but I guess I can let this one slip," He reached into his coat and pulled out a gun, in the meantime Twilight noticed that the chain that attaches to the metal cage had nearly snapped so she yanked on the chain, pain coursed through her arm as she realized her wrist was broke, Think Twilight think, oh yeah, she remembered reading about getting out of cuffs, she spat on her broken wrist for lubricant and with a lot of pain slipped her hand through the cuff, using her for arm of the free arm she grabbed it with her right hand and tugged at the chain as it snapped.

Now with both arms free she reached over and unbuckled the seat belt, dropping to the roof of the car with a thud. She then began to crawl out, as she got out she saw that the man with the gun had aimed directly at the guards head who was laying in her direction, he pulled the trigger spraying blood behind him and onto Twilight's face. Twilight stood up with a straight face.

The man in black whistled at her, "Wow, that was fast, how'd ya do it, ah," he saw the swollen wrist, "You broke your own hand to get free, and even with me killing someone right in front of you, you didn't blink an eye. I like you, you have madness, HAH! I really like you girl. What say you, you wanna stay here and get blamed for these deaths or you wanna follow me?"

Twilight looked around at the car and the truck, three more people dead and she could be blamed for it again, blamed for something she didn't do, it was this man but if she followed him she wouldn't get blamed, she would be free but what is the point really, she had nothing left, Twilight then moved closer to the man in black who put the gun up out of defense, Twilight stopped for a second but carried on and pressed her head against the gun, "What's in it for me?"

The man looked confused but then grinned, "The world of course, what else wouldn't there be? You'll have the world at your beck and call once were threw with you, follow me... What's your name sweety?"

"Twilight Sparkle"

"Twilight, nifty, follow me into the fun world of killing and crime where every bullets a bit"

Two years Later

Rumors started months ago of a black clad women and a creature that would use the red letters to assassinate anyone with one hundred percent precision for a price. Soon the rumors became true as the name Dark Star became famous and feared in the underworld. From Canterlot to Neighway, everywhere the name spread the more infamous the women became.

She had learned under her master in Moscony for a few years. Her physique had changed extremely due to magical and chemical enhancements, she was literally built to kill now. He also taught her spells and ways to enchant her body. Around a year and a half later he sent her on her first ever mission, to kill Sir Birkklov the third. She entered the train going east, there was five cars to the train, the first was the engine the second held luggage, the third held Birkkov and the forth and fifth were for normal passengers.

When she reached the time she wanted, she exited to the passing of the fifth and forth car and climbed out onto the roof to elude the guards, when she got to the passing between the forth and third car she lifted the guard and snapped his neck throwing him off the train, this left her ten minutes left. She climbed down to the door and then proceeded to climb underneath car three. Once she reached the middle of the car she put a timed explosion enchantment on it, the bridge over water was in sight, she counted 30... 29... 28... 27.............................3...2...1, and then she dropped off the bridge landing in the water. It took approximately three minutes for the train to cross the bridge.

Twilight swam to the surface and moved to the bank as she began to walk away on the dirt. Behind her on the wooden bridge the train exploded into fire as it broke apart and came crashing into the water, this was her first kill.

Present Day

Twilight kept tabs on some of her past life. Apparently her brother was now the captain of the Royal Guard in the empire of Canterlot. She didn't know what her mothers position much, "I wonder, what would they do if they found out what happened to me?" No one, not even there family, knew what happened to her, the truck the day she went missing had blown up due to the cigarette her master had left lit on the ground, both the women who was then probably dead and the two males were in incinerated near to ashes, so they assumed she had died, in the end it was better for her.
That is how the story began on Dark Star, the number one assassin who had one hundred percent kill rate.
