This is an old story that I haven't put out because I didn't think it was good enough. There probably won't be any updates in the near future.

Prologue

Lupa appeared in the Canterlot Palace in a poof of small green pine tree shaped air fresheners that you might put in your car. She had a long serpentine body covered in jet black fur, a large black wolf head with triangular eyes, one of which was icy blue, while the other was a deep red, and there were two sleek black horns perched atop her head that curved down until they had straightened back out at her lower jaw, facing forwards. Its tail was long and covered with maroon scales, ending with a gray, four pronged claw. Her right arm was that of a liger, though covered with strange black tattoos. The left arm was that of a dragon, gray scaled and muscular, since opposable thumbs could come in SO useful sometimes. Her left leg was a blue armored digitrade leg with two huge toes, while the right one was a black bull's leg. Her wings were six symmetrical black tendrils of shadow ending in red conical spikes.

After yawning for two minutes straight, she flopped backwards onto a cushion of air, simply floating and curling her tail.

"Brother, it has been to long since we last talked! Still ruling the kingdom? I sure hope so! Sorry about the thing with the air fresheners, I was going for fluffy dice, but they're so simil-" She was interrupted before she could quite begin her divulgence about the similarities of fluffy dice and in-car air fresheners by a stern female.

"WHO ART THEE, AND WHY DOTH THEE INTRUDE UPON THE THRONE ROOM?!" The voice boomed, dizzying Lupa because of her sensitive ears. That is not my brother. She thought as her eyes widened, Not my brother at all.

She floated to an upright position to inspect whoever had yelled at her. She saw a white alicorn sitting in a velvety red throne with a gold plated back. She was positioned to be facing a monstrous pile of scrolls and there were dark bags under her eyes, though she looked furious. Her mane and tale were the colors of the aurora borealis and she had golden shoes to go along with her gem encrusted golden tiara.

"Ah. I see that my brother has been overthrown or has stepped down, the latter of which I highly doubt. You must be the new queen." She said in a disappointed tone, her ears falling flat.

"I am Princess Celestia, Co-ruler of Equestria. I would like to first ask you, intruder, what your name is before I call my guards to arrest you." As if on cue, ranks of guards filed into the room, creating a circle around the somewhat amused Dracanis.

Lupa chuckled lightly at the display of force. In her opinion it was entirely inconsequential. She put her paw to her forehead in mock distress, then spoke in a ridiculously high pitched voice: "Oh, I'm so scared of your scary little spears, how dare you point them at a little old lady like me!" She pranced about before stopping in a dangerous poise facing Celestia, disintegrating the headscarf that had somehow appeared on her person while prancing about. "Cute." She snarled, "I really would have expected the ones that defeated my brother to be a bit stronger perhaps. But if you must know," She started out while resuming her carefree floating and relieving her muzzle of its vicious snarl. "I am Lupa, also known as Ryu the powerful, the Loch Ness Monster, Giratina, Legion, The Didact,  and Alduin, Swallower of Worlds. My younger brother is Discord, perhaps you've heard of him? He's is also known as The Spirit of Disharmony, Rule- *Ahem* former ruler of Equestria."

Celestia paled at Lupa's last title. Swallower of Worlds?! Just how powerful was this creature?!

"W-what are you?" She asked hesitantly, not sure whether or not she had the upper hand in the situation anymore.

"I am a Dracanis."

"A what?"

"To make a long story short; I'm the apocalypse." She sneered at the princess before releasing an orange pulse, turning the guards around her to ash.

The beginning of the end

The princess stared in utter shock as the now empty guards armor clanged on the floor. Lupa's face was plastered with a huge grin.

"Oh, was that your captain of the guard?" She pointed to the nearest set of armor, which was purple, as compared to the gold armor. "I can tell because I've retained his memories! Ooh, the Elements of Harmony! Now that sounds like something I might want to destroy!" She turned to head out the door when a stern voice intercepted her. "You will not destroy anything! I will protect Equestria and her citizens at any cost, even myself. You will not leave here!" Lupa turned to see Celestia charging up a rather powerful spell, directed towards her. She deftly sidestepped the beam before snapping her claws (Don't question it). A bipedal behemoth made of wriggling orange worms covered in dented blue armor with sharp spines sticking out of its back appeared to the right of Celestia for half a second. In its right 'hand' was a gray cylinder with smaller green cylinders coming out of it. On its left was an arrow shaped shield that it had been swinging just before it appeared. The shield continued swinging, shattering Celestia's horn and splaying her out across the floor before disappearing abruptly.

Celestia grimaced as she touched the stump that had formerly been her horn and pain flared from it. Without her horn she was basically defenseless. She shakily pulled herself from the floor, only to feel a hoof on her back and be forced back down.

"Did you really think you could defeat me so easily?" Lupa asked in a dangerous tone. "I vaporize your entire guard regiment in less than half a second and yet you still insist? If I've ever seen something naïve it's you. I could kill both you and your entire kingdom with just a snap. Hmmm, maybe an exploding star? A black hole? Or something much worse... something that would make your citizens suffer for ages... yes... that might do..." She looked into the distance for a moment before her contemplating was interrupted by a sobbing princess.

"P-please don't hurt my subjects! I'll do anything you wish! Just... leave the rest of the kingdom out of it!" She pleaded.

"Why would I do anything for you? I have already displayed my power. In fact, I think it would be best if I could humiliate you! Yes, what a wonderful idea!" She grinned devilishly. "And just to make sure you can't try anything stupid I'll just give you a warning." She pressed her hoof down onto the alicorns back. Hard.

A sickening crack resounded throughout the palace, just before a shrill scream.

Guests came out of their rooms to see what all the commotion was, and were all horrified by what the found when they reached the throne room. Lupa stood up on her tendrils, lapping at a red stained spoon over a broken Princess Celestia. Her horn was shattered, her back was bent at an unnatural angle, and where her eyes were supposed to be remained two clack pits crying tears of blood. Her mane was now pink and had stopped flowing.

"Fool, you've doomed the world eternal darkness! Everything will die!" She yelled as loud as she could, considering she couldn't yell very loudly. The Dracanis chuckled quietly to herself.

"You really think that this universe just revolves around you don't you? You don't move the sun or the moon. YOU. ARE. PATHETIC. And I plan to make a show of it." She snarled before snapping her claws, healing Celestia's eyes and back, but shackling her. She was about to tuck the princess under her armpit when she heard a war cry. She turned to see a lone gold-clad guard charging towards her. She stuck out her paw, palm facing outward. Red electricity arced down her arm before jumping to the guard, who immediately started convulsing. He twitched uncontrollably for a moment before bursting outwards, splattering the room and all the dignitaries watching with red mist, bits of bone and fur, and the guards innards.

Many of them vomited or dry heaved, much to Lupa's delight. She snapped her claws and decapitated everyone in the room with the exception of her and Celestia, before strolling out, Celestia under arm.

They reached the gardens quickly. Lupa set Celestia down behind her, grasping the chains of the shackles with the end of her tail. Lupa cracked her knuckles, then punched the stone that discord was encased in, shattering it..

"Agh- *YAAAAAWN* wurbly wurbly wurbly! Urgh, phew!" Discord made a series of strange noises accompanied by wiggling and the cracking of the back. He bent over backwards to get a look at whoever had woken him. He jumped probably 12 feet in the air when he did see her, falling on his ass.

"S-sister! When did you get here!?"

"Probably about five minutes ago. We're taking this kingdom." She said in a serious tone before cracking a grin and laughing a cold, evil laugh. The laugh of someone who knows they've already won.
