Or maybe not…

On my way a pegasus had placed himself on my way, I decided to be a gentlemen and stop to listen what he had to say instead of ramming him over.

And then, believe it or not, he started to lecture me on the ways of villainy, or so they say. Oh please. He looked like a complete thug and he dares to tell me how to use my power, then came something about growth and character or whatever, I wasn’t really listening.

“Look,” I interrupted him holding a hand up “I appreciate the advice and such, but I’d rather to enjoy myself with what I have. Besides, this opportunity doesn’t come everyday.”

With that I face the other direction and fly towards the opposite direction, it seems I have to cancel my appointment at the badlands and stop messing around, maybe.

I stopped again when I saw the same pegasus from before in my way again, I didn’t even saw him nor hear his wings flapping.

“Now now, don’t be so hasty, our little ramble isn’t quite over yet.” He responded me as I saw his eyes change color, you’ve got to be kidding me.

“Well, that explains the smell of brown nose around here.” I roll my eyes as said pegasus changed his appearance after a flash.

“It pales in comparison to the smell of angsty edgy teenager.” Discord replied as he covered his nose.

“What do you want?”

“Well my dear purple psychotic friend, while I like the potential for chaos you have, I’m not to keen on the part where you killed everyone on the Crystal Empire and blew it to smithereens. It’s one thing to take someone prisoner or to mess around with them a bit, but when you actually hurt them I’m afraid that going too far.”

I could feel how my eye is twitching like mad and my brain shutting down for a few moments the time he had said that last line, I could also feel the handcuffs being put on my hands as well.

“Pray that Sunbutt isn’t too harsh on you, but knowing her she will let you off with the task of learning about the magic of friendship or something.”

“This coming from the element of Kindness’ bitch.” I growled at him while clenching my fists tight “I will not take orders from someone unfit for the title of ‘Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony’, emphasis on the Disharmony part mind you, nor anyone else.” Discord leaned towards me with a raised brow, giving me a chance to raise my cuffed hands to bring them down to his head as hard as I can.

He seemed to have plummeted into a house unconscious, that should give me time. I change my hands into a dark purple mist form and let the handcuffs fall down as well.

Changing my hands back to normal, I rubbed my wrists and finally continue on my way. I’ve wasted too much time as it is, assuming miss Trixie should be done with her revenge plans, it’s time for the main event.

Both Celestia and Umbra remained seated across eachother on beanbag chairs at her study, fear and uncertainty evident on Umbra’s face. She remained curled in a blanket wrapped around her while Celestia remained examinating her.

“And that’s it.” Celestia finished, filling Umbra in on her actions in the past.

“I see.” Umbra muttered looking down “I think I was better off without remembering.”

“Do not worry, that is all in the past now, you’re not that pony anymore.”

Even with the comforting words of the princess, the former tyrant didn’t seem to be convinced. A moment of silence followed suit until Celestia spoke up again.

“You don’t remember anything about the attack at all?”

She looked down and shook her head, unable to recall the terrible events that had led to this.

“I see,” Celestia sighed standing up walking to the open doors of her balcony “Equestria is facing a new threat, but unlike previous enemies we have no idea what we are up against. But the mere thought of his ability to completely decimate and lay a new curse on the former Crystal Empire.” She shuddered as she recalled what Umbra had told her before she reminded her of her previous life “Hence why we need to figure this new threat out quick before it’s too late.”

A success of rapid knocks was heard on her door, Celestia turned to call in whoever was knocking. Both she and Umbra were met with the distressed looks of a few guards along with her sister Luna.

“Sister, look at Ponyville quick!” She hurried past her without giving her any time to react. The guards stayed at the side of the doors while Umbra got up and joined Luna.

Celestia followed them on the balcony and what they saw was concerning, dark clouds are closing in on the nearby town currently covering the forest. The sisters could feel something dark even from this far away, a malevolent force was closing in on the blissfully unaware ponies below.

A flash besides them indicated Discord’s return, he held an ice bag on his head were a nasty bump can be seen even with said ice bag.

“I’ve found our troublemaker.”

Twilight felt the azure mare’s blast hit her once again, her strength was falling but she still continued to stand. She tried to fire a blast of her own only to watch it go through Trixie, the magician appeared behind her picking up Twilight in her magic to slam her between two buildings repeatedly.

“Oh don’t tell me that’s all you got Sparkle, after all a princess such as yourself isn’t going to disappoint Trixie like this!” Trixie focused her attention on her with a wide grin, leaving the purple alicorn pretty bruised up with the tactics Trixie had executed during this duel, which it doesn’t seem to be a magic duel anymore.

While they were on that, Rainbow Dash along with Spike tried anything they could to break open the cage that held Cadence and Shining Armor. But no matter what they do, whether is to attack it or blow fire on the bars, nothing worked.

Trixie stopped for a moment to look at the direction of cage “Do whatever you want, you can’t break that cage. Just a heads up.” With that she stopped her magic and let her opponent fall to the ground.

Twilight tried to stand up, but the injuries inflicted on her by Trixie didn’t seem to let her. Leaning down to cough blood she looked to see her standing proudly above her.

“Looks like I won this time,” She gave a darkly chuckle “Trixie always knew she was talented, not unlike some cheaters I know.” Twilight was about to reply to her only to be cut short by Trixie’s index finger on her lips “You lost little miss perfect, deal with it.”

Unbeknownst to Trixie, dark clouds have started to sweep in the skies of Ponyville, thunders striking down from some clouds. No pegasi was in sight nor near those clouds, it’s as if the everfree weather is starting to affect Equestria.

Everyone then felt a chill, a terrifying chill that no one had experienced before. Trixie stopped to turn at the top of the Mayor’s building, soon becoming affected by that unknown fear.

“What the fuck is that?” Rainbow Dash commented unsure at what she was looking at.

Up there was none other than a bipedal creature with purple robes, one visible eye was on them as if it could see their soul. It’s smile held a wickedness that threatened to stop their hearts on the spot.

“Hello girls,” It spoke in a whispering but audible tone “Room for one more?”
