A bright and sunny day blessed the land of Equestria; birds sang, young fillies and colts laughed as they played in the sunlight and one of the newly crowned princesses of the land awoke with a start.

Her two-toned lavender hair fell into her eyes as she yawned. The hair was split in the middle by a spiral horn and a pair of wings on her back. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a blue shirt with a pink five pointed star with several smaller white stars surrounding the pink star. She glance a look at a nearby clock and freaked out.

“SPIKE~!!!!!” She shouted as she opened her workroom door, the door slamming into a large purple and green dragon that was carrying a large tray of breakfast in his claws. The dragon went flying back into a nearby bookcase and crashed.

The tray went upwards into the air from the momentum before coming back down in slow-motion to the princess’s eyes before it landed on top of her assistant/brother. Pancakes with eggs covered his eyes giving him comical eyes as syrup and orange juice dripped from his body.

The princess stared agape at the sight before she broke out into giggles. The Dragon heard the giggles and shot a dirty glare…at the wall. This made the mare laugh even more. He took off the food and met the blank wall. He then glared at the giggling mare and got back up.

“Very funny Twilight. Since that was YOUR breakfast you just trashed, you can make your own.” The dragon said with a snort.
Twilight’s eyes became pinpricks of purple and black before she fell to her knees with a wail.

“NOOOOOOOOO~!” She cried out mournfully making many early morning runners look at the house/library in confusion.

Spike couldn’t help but snicker at his sister’s antics.

“Been taking Drama lessons from Rarity there, Twi?” Spike asked in-between his snickers making the librarian glare at him.

“I have not!” She sniffed out, “Of all the things to happen, this! Is! The! Wor-!”

Realizing of what she was to say, she clapped her hands over her mouth, but it was too late. Spike was rolling on the ground, laughing heartily and clutching his side as tears spilled out of his eyes. Twilight stood there speechless as Spike’s laughter filled the air. Pretty soon though, she gave the laughing dragon a glare.

“Alright Spike, that’s enough.”

The laughter continued.

“Seriously, it was not that funny.”

It still continued.

“Mister, I’m warning you…”

Yep, still going. One would think that the teenage dragon would need to breathe here soon.

“THAT’S IT!”

A blast of lavender magic and Spike was no longer laughing. Instead he was barking! He crossed his eyes and saw instead of a snout, he now saw he sported a black nose and fur. He chanced a look in the nearby mirror and saw that he was a dog…like he was back in the Human world.

“Arf?! Yipe! (Huh?! Twilight!)” The dragon turned dog looked at the princess with his big puppy dog eyes.

“Serves you right there Spike.” Twilight said with a victorious smirk at her handy work.

It was short lived though as a shaking battered the entire tree which in turned made everything jump around like a pair of maracas. Twilight tried to stay on her legs before she fell down onto her rump. Spike shook around with the rest of the things, books falling off the shelves. He also changed back to his Dragon self before he got beamed in the head by a heavy tome titled, “Wooing your stallion/mare For Dummies.”

Just as the shaking started, it stopped. Twilight peeked out from behind her sofa and saw the chaos and destruction that made up her living room.

“Wha-? Ah…what? My books! My precious books!” Twilight gasped before she glared. “Discord! I bet it’s his work!”

No sooner were the words out of her mouth, that a catastrophe of animal parts – eagle claw, lion’s paw, a horse’s hoof, lizard leg, snake tail with rabbit tuff, the head of a donkey adorned with two different antlers, and a bat and Pegasus wing made up his back - appeared in front of her, his face looking…serious. Twilight did a double take on that. Usually he was so…unpredictable and wild, never serious.

“Twilight, you and your friends are needed at Canterlot immediately!” The spirit stated urgently.

Earlier…
Deep underneath Canterlot city laid several crystal caverns where the Princess of Love, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, was trapped by the vile Changeling queen, Chrysalis. Even deeper still in these caves was a sky blue diamond of twenty-eight carats, filled with a malicious soul of a once forgotten empire.

When one peered in the diamond, they would see that the blue represented the darkness and that it was like a cloud, shifting, changing, warping and twisting. Two hellish red eyes materialized and in the quietness of the cave, a dark chuckled came from the diamond.

It had felt the energies; The mare of the Night had returned from her prison and been redeemed, the Dragon of Disharmony had been freed before returning to stone, and the dark emperor of the Crystal Empire had been defeated fulfilling the eons old warning. For the first time in a long era, the blue power spoke.

“My time…has come!”

Instead of the too clichéd villain escapes, the diamond did not shatter at the proclamation nor were there any alarms to its awakening. Those had worn out over the last hundred years thankfully. Instead, the sky blue energy merely slipped out of the diamond and hovered in the air. Once it had re-gathered itself in the air, it took off through the cave. In a matter of moments, due to poor directions, it had managed to get out of the caves. Shooting through the air, it spied the city of Canterlot and scoffed.

“The lands have grown weak in my absence. Well, I’ll fix that.”

The mist took off toward the center of the city where the royal palace sat in the middle like a fly landing in the middle of a spider-web. Passing over the guards was simple; none of them bothered to look up. Honestly, you would think that they would’ve watched at least ONE movie where the spy would use the ceiling as a means to enter a building.

Soon the mist came to a massive and locked door. It stole inside easily and looked at the box containing the instruments of his separation from so long ago. It floated down, slid through the tiny openings, and peered inside.

Yes, they were there. The Elements of Harmony: Loyalty, Honesty, Kindness, and Generosity. He knew that the Element of Magic was the crown of the new princess due to scouting around a bit, but could feel the invisible lines of magic to the element. Wordlessly, an ethereal finger was formed and it touched the element of Loyalty.

There was a brief flash of light and the elements became colored inverse before returning to normal. The mist chuckled darkly before it left the room and out the door.

Time to announce my return. First to my beloved Night. The being thought before he stole away.

OVMLP

A being that could be described as images of godly beauty she had a dark blue fur coat that under certain light could be mistaken for black. Upon her head sat a black night cap and wore midnight blue pajamas.

Off to the side on a mannequin was a black crown and a midnight blue dress gown with there being a plate of cake that said ‘Luna’s. No touch! This means you Tia!’

Luna was fast asleep when the mist entered the room. It’d smirk if it could as it flowed down and into the sleeping one’s mind. The action caused the sleeping goddess to cringe and whimper.

Luna’s Dreamscape

Luna sighed in happiness as she sat against the tree with her six new friends to along with her old one; Loyal Rainbow Dash, funny Pinkie Pie, Honest Applejack, Generous Rarity, Kind Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, a magical friend. Among them was Somber, her first friend before his…fall.

“Tis a lovely day for a picnic.” Somber said, his voice like ringing brass bells.

“Yes it is.” Luna said with a sigh as she watched the antics of Pinkie Pie and Spike.

“Hey come on you two! Join in the fun!” Pinkie Pie said with a laugh making the two laughs as well.

“We will!” Luna replied before she got up.

She stiffened when she felt a chill wash over her. Something had invaded her personal dreamscape and whatever it was…it was powerful.

The earth of her dream began to crack and rip open, as geysers of steam erupted out. She felt her friends wither and fade into nothingness as the dream came under assault.

“WHO DARES ATTACK THINE HOLY PLACE?! COME AND FACE ME YON COWARD!” Luna roared using the Canterlot royal voice.

To her answer, five mountains rose up from the ground obscuring her sister’s sun. She gazed at them curiously before she felt like she was being lifted up. She glanced over the side and saw the earth falling away.

“What sorcery is this?!” she asked as the clouds rushed past her.

Once she hit a break in the clouds, she heard a faint voice.

“Noctus…”

Luna’s ear perked up and she looked around, confused.

“Who? Who is there?”

The voice cackled vilely. The cackle made Luna’s eyes widen in fear, shock, and rage. A figure stepped forward from the cloudy mists. It looked similar to Luna, save for her armor, black coat, cat-like eyes and fanged teeth, not to mention the…ahem, bigger chest.

“You…Nightmare. HOW?!” Luna demanded to her dark half.

Nightmare chuckled as she walked forward.

“Really Luna? You thought you’d be rid of me THAT easily? You have forgotten.” Nightmare sneered.

“Forgotten what? I have never forgotten!” Luna snarled.

Here Nightmare giggled in glee.

“Oh but you have. You have forgotten that Evil always finds a way.”

The saying from Nightmare’s lips made Luna’s heart stop dead; no, it couldn’t be. He was defeated! His soul, seperated! Locked away in some containment field that no one, not even Discord, could escape from!

While Luna was busy having a panic attack, the vision of Nightmare fell away and from the clouds came a helmeted being with eyes as red as Tartarus itself. Luna gazed back up to speak with Nightmare, but only saw the being.

“YOU!”

The being nodded silently before a voice, sinister and full of darkness, cut through.

“Yes…me dear Night. I am back amongst the living. Evil is returning to your lands. So prepare to be reunited. Evil will reign once more in Equestria!” The being said before it faded away.

Luna sat upright in her bed just as the mist had left her room. She had to alert her sister!

OVMLP

Celestia, a person who was an image of godly beauty like her younger sister, ruler of the sun and of cakes, sat holding the solar court, listening to the drivel of the nobles and the whining of her great nephew Blueblood. She was…oh, who am I kidding? She wanted to strangle her nephew for being such a foal, rip the nobles several new plot-holes for being such idiots and deal with this thrice damned paperwork! She had enough things on her plate right now and she didn’t need…

The slamming of doors and the sight of two guards flying through the air caused her to start. Glancing at the doorway, she saw a light blue mist hovering nearby. Sighing, she glared at the air.

“DISCORD! STOP FOOLING AROUND WITH THE GUARDS! DON’T MAKE ME TELL FLUTTERSHY!” She bellowed making many nobles shudder.

The voice that answered was NOT from Discord and it made Celetia’s hair stand on end.

“Why do you call out for that creation of mine, Goddess of the Sun?”

Celestia’s eyes went wide and her jaw dropped.

“Y-y-y-y-y-you?! But…Luna and I separated you from your body! How is it you still…still…”

The mist chuckled.

“Live? Oh, dear, sweet, innocent, naive, Celestia. Evil always finds a way, even to cheat death.” The voice said before it flew up to the ceiling and became a hurricane.

It was at that moment when Luna ran in.

“TIA! THE OVERLORD! HE LIVES!”

THAT got many stares at her, whether or not due to her dress ware was impossible to determine. A cackle of laughter from the mist before thunder boomed shaking the entire land.

“HEAR ME NOBLES OF THIS CITY! KNOW THAT A BEING THAT YOUR PRINCESSES FEAR HAS RETURNED TO TAKE BACK HIS EMPIRE! HE WILL COME WITH THE BACKING OF THE ABYSS AND THE MINIONS OF WAR AT HIS COMMAND! TREMBLE IN FEAR AT MY NAME! THE NAME OF THE OVERLORD!”

The mist escaped through an open window, making all the stain glass shatter and rain down upon the courts. Celestia and Luna raced to the window to see the mist enter a crack in the earth before it was swallowed up. There was a popping noise and the two spun around to face what being that had been left by the Overlord.

Instead, they saw Discord who was looking around confused.

“Uh…have you been hitting the moon drop shine again Tia? Because if you did, I’m ashamed of you missy…” Discord said in a condescending tone much like a parent would speak to a teen that did something stupid.

“Discord…” Celestia tried to reason but Discord kept going.

“I’m ashamed that you didn’t include me! Remember 105 BCBPS!? That was so~ much fun!”

“DISCORD! GET ME TWILIGHT AND THE REST OF THE ELEMENTS NOW! IT’S YOUR FORMER CREATOR! HE’S BACK!” Celestia roared in the CRV making the castle tremble and Discord to freeze.

“On it.” He said seriously before he snapped his talons and vanished.

Luna looked at Celesita horrified.

“Sister, surely you are not sending Twilight and her friends against him?! They won’t stand a chance!”

Celestia looked at her sister with barely hidden rage.

“I will do what I must to protect the land Luna.”

Unaware to the duo, a wisp of the blue mist left through a crack in the castle wall. It had gotten the needed words to truly bring about Celestia’s end.
