Pinkamena walked through the seemingly never-ending halls of Madara's castle. His face was plastered in picture frames around her. She figured she would get used to it but by now, it was getting disturbing. Madara's Sharingan eyes seemed to pierce her head like icicle daggers hanging menacingly from a cave's top entrance.

"To think he's a narcissist." Pinkamena wondered out loud before jamming her hoof against her mouth, realizing she said that a bit too loud. She continued her trot, but at a slower pace down the hallway. Eventually she came across a room that was glowing with blue light. Curiosity struck her, as Madara skipped over a few rooms in her run through of the castle. Unbeknownst to her that what was behind that door was an evil not to be reckoned with.

"Hmmm...." Pinkamena's curiosity overtook her and she opened the door to the room, quickly pulling out a badge from her hair that gave her clearance to every room in the building, with a few exceptions. She wrapped it around her neck so that it would hang in front of her breast, signature procedure, and walked completely I n to the room.

As Pinkamena entered the surprisingly dimly lit room, she hit her head on a pipe. She stumbled backward, a bit confused of why there would be a pipe floating in the air like that. She regained her balance, and trotted forward, this time ducking under the pipe, and resumed walking inside the room. As she got deeper into the menagerie of pipes and lines, she noticed birthright had begun to get brighter as she went in, and occasionally, a giant flare of blue light struck. Whatever was in there had officially piqued her curiosity.

"One of Twilight's light spells would be great right now." Pinkamena said annoyed before shaking her head. "I shouldn't be thinking about them right now. They'll understand. Madara's plan is for the best of all the ponies that reside in Equestria and elsewhere. The dream world will be the perfect world. I'll allow no one, not even them to get in the way of everybody's dreams!" Pinkamena said with fire in her eyes. She was determined that Madara's dream would become a reality.

Eventually, after five or ten more minutes of walking, she got into the central area of the room. The area was riddled with pipes and metal scaling that all went backward to a giant container-like object with water inside of it. What was inside the container, Pinkamena could not tell however. It looked simply like a pale blob with no other features whatsoever.

Pinkamena tapped on the glass, hoping to get a response. "Hello? You alive in there?" She repeated this for about a dozen times until she got a response.

The blob swirled around in the aquatic prison of which it had fallen victim to for a bit and then turned around. It opened its eye. It bad one eye, which was a gigantic Sharingan eye. It squinted its singular eye at Pinkamena, as trying to figure out what to make of her. She started at it back, as if they were in a staring contest.

The massive life form finally spoke, but not normally, instead using telepathy, since it had no mouth. "I AM ZERO."

"Whoah, cool!" Exclaimed Pinkamena, jumping up and down. "How'd you even get here?!"

"MADARA MADE THIS LIFE FORM STRICTLY FROM DARK MATTER, CREATING ME. HE THEN INSCERTED A SHARINGAN EYE, TO ENSURE I WOULD BE RELIABLE BACKUP." Zero said, a bit out of contempt. It seemed angry that Madara thought of it only as a back up plan. "NO MATTER. I WAS CREATED BY HIM. THEREFORE I SHALL COMPPETE. THE MISSSION VECTORED BY HIM."

"Wow, really?! So...what can you do?! Can you teleport, create things, fly, levitate, shoot lasers, copy things...!" Pinkamena yelled quickly, but after realizing this, she covered her mouth, realizing she was acting like her original form. "No. I'm not that anymore." She thought to herself. She came up with this exercise to subdue her 'Goody-Two-Shoes', as she called it, side from coming out. She would just do breathing and brain exercises in order to calm herself down.

Zero opened his eye fully. "I AM ZERO. POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS WHEN YOU CAN BACK WHATEVER YOU DESIRE. DARK MATTER CAN MAKE ANYTHING. " Zero said menacingly, his tone amplified through the telepathy.

"So...when is he gonna use you? I highly doubt he's just gonna keep ya locked up in here." Pinkamena said, now wanting to seed this thing in action.

Zero seemingly rolled his eye. "I AM ZERO. I WAS CREATED AS A BACKUP PLAN IN CASE THE ETERNAL TSUKI-NO-ME PLAN FAILS. IF IT DOES, MADARA WOULD LET ME FREE TK WREAK HAVOC AMONG THE DENEZINS OF EQUESTRIA. WHEN DONE HERE MADARA CLAIMED THAT WE WOULD CONQUER OTHER UNIVERSES. IT IS ADVISED THAT THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY GIVE UP NOW."

"Oh. I'm sure they won't be doing anything anytime soon." Pinkamena said menacingly as she pulled out a golden necklace with a gem in the middle, shaped like her cutie mark. "As long as they don't have this... they won't be able to defend themselves..."

Zero closed his eye. "YOU HAVE SIMPLIFIED MY JOB. FOR THAT I THANK YOU, AND BESTOW UPON YOU THIS."

A small, black, cyclones creature teleported next to Pinkamena. It had no arms or legs, and instead, floated. It was completely black except for a few yellow lumps on it's back.

"Huh? What's this?"

Zero's eye remained closed. "THAT IS DARK MATTER. IT IS A PART OF ME. USE IT WHENEVER YOU ARE IN DANGER. NOW ENTERING RIGOR MORTIS...." . It went to sleep.

Author's Note

Yeah. I had extra time on my hands, so here it is. By the way, Zero is a boss from a video game. Can you guess which one?
