Chapter 2 Chrysalis couldn't be more wrong

It was one of the strangest to ever happen to her. She, Chrysalis, (self proclaimed) Queen of the entire changeling race was being carried in a bag in some tree house to face Faust knows what by 3 mechanical werewolves. The one thing she did know was their names were Smash, Crash, and Cannon, the name going from the tall male to the short male, and at times the medium female appeared as the brain of the bunch, but wouldn't stop Chrysalis from attempting at freedom.

Using her usual queenly tone."Let go of me!" her demand fell upon deaf ears that only cackled evilly."Release me and i won't make you'll-"her sentence was interrupted as she was pushed into a large pipe leaving her flank sticking out(she was a little convinced a bit Shining Armor's love went straight to her hips). just when she thought it couldn't get a little worse, those 3 demons began to hit her to get her down the pipe. By the flank of course.

'This is officially the worst day of my life since the Canterlot Wedding.' Chrysalis thought as she felt her shame and total humiliation reach a height she already despised.

Crash didn't like how the changeling didn't go down the pipe flawlessly as most of the things did. but then again, those were cages with small bugs."I think she might be too,BIG!" her last word was emphasized on account she rammed into the changeling's flank.

"No she's not."Smash assured her sister as the trio rammed into the queens flank."If she can fit in a wedding dress, she can"he began to talk between rams"fit!"ram"in!"ram and push"HERE!"with a final push the changeling disappeared into the pipe than underground and out of the trios sight.

Chrysalis let out a scream that echoed a little as she fell than found herself on a odd turn table with sharp edges. She thought it couldn't get odder when odd but terrifyingly familiar music fill the air. she looked around and saw things she knew to familiarly: the medieval Iron Maiden. the two bats awakening,and how the colors change to neon. An all too familiar rattling caught her attention in time to see two white glowing dice hit her in the face. Just as she feared a silhouette came up and she saw him. she knew it all too well, the burlap like texture, the wirewolf appearance ,the neon green, and that evil voice.

"Well,well,well, what have we here?

Queen Chrysalis, huh ooooh, i'm really scared!

So you're the one my lacky's been talkin about?"

Chrysalis would've lied to try and save her own hide but he stopped her by laughing straight in her face and getting bugs in her hair.
Just like last time, and the time before.

"You're jokin, you're jokin, i can't believe you Sal,

You're jokin me you gotta be, this can't be the right gal

She's pudgy,she's ugly, i don't know which is worse,

I might just split a seam now if i don't die laughing first

When Mister Oogie Boogie says there's trouble close at hand

You better pay attention now cause i'm the Boogie man,

And if you aren't shaken, there's something very wrong

Cause may be the last time you hear the boogie song

Woah,"

His pit came to life as several things answered as a chorus.

"Woah,"

Anytime they answered he beckoned again.

"Woah,"

"Woah!"

"I'm the Oogie Boogie Man!

Well if i'm feelin' antsy, than there's nothin much to do

I might just cook a special batch of Snake and Spider Stew

And don't you know the one thing that would make it work so nice?

A Rolly-polly Chrysalis to add a little spice."

"Woah"

"Aoooah"

"Woah"

"Yeah, I'm the Oogie Boogie Man"

Chrysalis had enough of his singing now.

"Release me now and you won't face the dire consequences,

My changelings are expecting me so just come to your senses"

"Ha! You're jokin, You're jokin, i can't believe my ears

Would someone shut this pony up i'm drown in my tears.

It's funny i'm laughin you really are too much

And now with your permission I'm going to do my stuff"

"W-what are you going to do?"

"I'm gonna do the best i can

Woaaaaah the sound of rolling dice to me is music in the air

Cause i'm a gamblin boogie man all though i don't play fair

It's much more fun i must confess, when lives are on the line

Not mine of course but yours old girl, now that'll be just fine"

"Release me fast or you shall answer for this crazy act!"

"Oh brother, you're somethin, you've put me in a spin

You aren't comprehending, the position that you're in

It's hopeless, you're finished, you haven't got a prayer

Cause i'm Mister Oogie Boogie and you, ain't goin, nowhere "

Before all Chrysalis saw was black she heard his deep evil laugh one last time

Chrysalis awoke startled, just as with every other time she slept. she could not go back on account that every time she woke up from that dream, her sheets were soaked with the sweat she somehow accumulated during the course of the entire dream.
As she turned around in the small cottage she was in to see a wirewolf not the one from her dream but one that didn't show disgust toward the changelings like most of Equestria did after the wedding. that was Joe. and he brought a glass of water with him.

"It happened again?"

"No. the dreams are gone and i soak my bed on purpose,what do you think?" Chrysalis irritatedly stated in a sarcastic tone to point out how ridiculous that question would sound by now.

Joe detected the sarcasm but just chuckled "Any different?"

"Actually yes, he looked like you." Chrysalis stated as she remembered that dice rolling crazy looked more like a starfish than a wirewolf.

"Hmm i read somewhere that someone would have the same dream several times and the last time would be different signaling a dark omen to come." Joe hypothesized based on how Chrysalis had the exact same dream that played out exactly as the night before.

"And what do you suggest I do, Equestria's royals didn't exactly leave on good terms." Chrysalis pointed out to show she was not about to be blasted straight to the badlands by the sun and moon raisers.

"Well I heard from Celestia's close buddy whose also my close buddy Ricky they were going to hike to the border outside of Equestria, you know, fresh air, clear the mind all that junk. if you ask me you could use some. "

Chrysalis growled a little at that last remark. "Fine but everything outside this cabin is gonna end up marking it's territory in here."

"It'll be fine you'll only be gone for a few weeks."

The hike was the talk of the nation. Most ponies hanged out at Ponyville on account of 1. Celestia decided to walk from there, 2. it was the home to the Elements of Harmony.

And now the day was here.

Celestia, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Spike, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Ricky and his brother Marty were all at the town limit making one final check of everything they got before they went.

AJ was the first to speak there."Got my stuff. Marty?"

Marty was identical to Ricky in every way, the only difference was he had two puncture holes in his chest(which he said was from a taser from an old world he left). He was as enthusiastic about this trip as Pinkie Pie was and responded the moment Applejack was done talking."One step ahead of you, all wirewolves have a chest hatch that can hold basically anything on the inside, i was prepared before this was even discussed." He then looked up and he saw something that completely caught him by surprise: the queen of the changelings with his buddy from collage, flying down and stopping in front of the group.

Rainbow Dash was ready to tackle both of them, but was stopped by Applejack. She knew this was Marty's old friend Joe and that he might be joining on the hike, but that didn't stop her from asking. "Why did he the changeling formally known as their Queen with him?"

Joe was easy to defend on this."She's been having the same nightmare over and over again and thinks this guy in it is coming here." Chrysalis was about to object to this as it was Joe who believed this."I recommended she should go with you on this hike and came in case of what Rainbow Dash might do to her, and know this isn't a condition of surrender, she just keeps sweating her bed."

Rainbow listend than responded."All right she can come. But one thing that even sounds suspicious and it's gonna need more than words to prevent me from getting her."

"Don't worry if you see a little, it might just be anxiety from being away from the hive."

Dash only nodded and they set off still amped about this trip. The only one not thinking about the trip was Chrysalis who thought maybe Joe was right about the dream.

Unbeknownst to anyone as they left, a single red eye watched them walk away."They're already leaving. And with 2 weeks til were ready? Oooh Mr. Oogie's gonna be so pleased."

Author's Note

The plot thickens! :pinkiegasp:

Chapter 3 The message

It had already been 2 weeks and Luna was starting to feel lonely. She missed Celestia, she was sure of it. She longed to have someone to talk to that could talk to her as a friend, not as royalty. Nightmare Night was only a week and 3 days away and Celestia Pinkie promised (As requested by Pinkie Pie) to come back in time for the holiday. She merely sighed as she watch her sister lower the sun from wherever she was so she could raise the moon in her room allowing darkness to enter the room. As she began to walk towards the door to the hallway, she saw something scurrying in the dark. It wasn’t a rat or a bug but was around the size of a foal, but in it’s basic shape she could make out, it was in no way a foal.

Luna had no time for whatever this thing was. “Show yourself.” She simply commanded.

She turned around to see some thing latch to near her forehead knocking her crown off its place on her head. Luna then felt sudden pain as she felt herself losing control over her body. She fell to the floor in front of her mirror and looked up into it, she saw whatever latched onto her but could only make out a single wirewolf finger but was not what frightened her.

It was her eyes.

Luna looked at herself and felt great fear, as it was not her regular eyes but the slits they became. And only a few things came to mind as she looked into them.

The Moon.

Nightmare.

1000 Years.

Alone.

With that last word Luna fought against whatever was trying to take control of her body and mind, but what ever was doing it had a stronger influence. With the last of her own free will, her horn glowed as she sent a telepathic message, S.O.S, whatever you say it was to the one pony that could help her. Her sister. With a simple message. Then everything. Went. Black.

The next morning, Ricky was waking up form the spot he set up in a tree. A day two weeks and (According to Ricky) 5000 miles later everypony was used to waking up to being away from Ponyville and even to seeing Chrysalis. Despite the Queen of the Changelings tagging along on this trip Ricky was certainly enjoying himself and invited Her to join in some of the fun the others were having. She was reluctant at first but she joined in and liked a bit herself. Ricky enjoyed the view he saw and just sat up there awhile than flew down.

First pony he saw was the former student of his friend and new princess, Twilight Sparkle. ”Su’p Twi?”

“Oh hey Ricky, I was just looking around listening to nature daydreaming a little.” Twilight responded obviously in a good mood.

“Same here. I was just looking around, and I think I can see the badlands from here.” Ricky stated turning to she Celestia walk by than saw her horn give out a bright flash followed by a scream.

Twilight saw the whole thing and panicked a little “Celestia!”

Twilight ran towards her to find Ricky beat her to it and was helping her up. But what worried Twilight was the look of worry that was on Celestia’s face. Everyone heard this and ran here to see what happened found Celestia was all right.

“We need to get back. Now” Celestia stated as she realized what was just sent to her magically.

Marty was distraught by this. ”But I just got down how to make a smore right.”

Celestia her this but found it unimportant ”There are things much worse happening now” Everyone gasped but Chrysalis merely rolled her eyes thinking what could be so bad that they need to turn around right now. ”Equestria’s in danger and so is Luna” this caught Chrysalis’s attention on hearing “Equestria” ”Danger” but ”And so is Luna” was what interested her on account cause all the villains that could threaten it were reformed (Discord technically her because she hadn’t tried to hurt any of them) imprisoned (This Tirek Chrysalis kept hearing of but only in Ricky threats in his sleep which was a little annoying a she was trying to sleep) or dead (Sombra as she kept hearing the name and on how he was the “Lamest villain in the history of Lamest villains” according to Ricky) Meaning this time it wasn’t Luna.

Rainbow Dash was ready to head back but pointed a flaw in that plan out.“ It took us two weeks for us to get here, I know you’ll say fly back but not all of us have wings.” Dash pointed out gesturing to Rarity, Applejack, Spike, and Pinkie Pie.

Ricky was ready for something like that. ”Got you covered Dash. Wirewolves can extend their finger wires and wrap them around something.” As soon as Ricky finished that sentence, his fingers did just as he described and Covered the four Dash gestured to earning understanding looks and a muffled scream from Rarity. He then pulled the sack with the four towards him then tucked it under his armpit” And yes wirewolves can fly just as good as any pegasi can.” Ricky then extended to flat metal wing from his back, Joe and Marty followed suit.

Twilight, Fluttershy, Celestia, and Chrysalis already unfurled their wings (minus Chrysalis as her wings were more insect like so she only had to lift off the ground) Rainbow only smirked at Ricky and unfurled her wings. ”Try and keep up at least.” Taking off earning a smirk from Ricky as he took off at breakneck speed (Earning objections from a certain white unicorn in the bag he was holding).
The others were quick and caught up with the two Chatting a little while Celestia only thought about the message as it had a nickname she hadn’t heard in 1003 years, and only two ponies called her that which driving her to go back more than to continue the hike (Not counting Ricky as he only called her that on occasion by accident and Discord did once earning him a apple buck into Rarity’s Boutique).

Help.

Please.

Tia.

Chapter 4 The Return

It wasn’t as fast as everyone thought it would be as they were all going at maximum speed (which surprised everyone as Chrysalis was able to keep up despite her wings being more insect like) but both Twilight and Celestia (to everyone’s shock) panicked as the moon didn’t go down at the time expected by Celestia which got everyone thinking ”Did something corrupt Luna after she sent the message?” and it took a few days to calm Celestia down (as her mane had a few strains out of place, her left ear twitched as well as her right eye) as it reminded everyone(Except for Chrysalis who had no idea about they were talking about until Marty explained to Joe who explained it to her) of the Twilight during the Smarty Pants incident, than telling Celestia for her to take care of the moon or all of Equestria is going to think Luna lost it again. When they finally got into town (After Ricky released the girls and Spike from the bag and getting a lecture on manners by Rarity for not warning her before rapping her up like that), they noticed no one was there and only one thing was out on the street: a skeleton of what Twilight assumed was one of those creatures Twilight became in the mirror world she explored one time.

Twilight decided to try and be friendly to this thing and walked up to it. ”Hi. You must be new here, let me introduce myself, I’m Twilight.” her eyes were close when she said that last sentence. So she didn’t she the skeleton raise it’s hand at her. ”Twilight ” she opened her eyes. “Spar-”
She opened her eyes in time to see Ricky give the skeleton an uppercut as it began to bring it’s hand down, shattering the bag of bones. Ricky just looked at her.

“You’re welcome.”

Twilight would’ve asked what for then lecture him on how it’s rude to do that to other creatures he hasn’t met when something out of her peripheral caught her attention and she turned around and saw something she that no one else would ever even think to see. Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings.

Was in the Fetal position cradling back and forth on the ground muttering inaudibly.

A wirewolf flew down and looked identical to Marty including a taser burn in his chest and the spikes on his back were more shaped like shark fins. He was in other words a guy you didn’t like if you woke him up.

Terry Tearing-Limbs Rodriguez.

“Guys, crazy stuff’s happening like” Terry would’ve continued but saw Chrysalis cradling and closed his left eye. “Still missing something” and as if right on cue, Chrysalis put her right hoof by the hook the holes in her leg created in her mouth and began to suck on it like a foal.

”There we go." Terry than blank his right eye creating the clicking sound of a camera. Earning an annoyed look from Celestia, Ricky, and Marty. ”What? I’m just taking a picture for the fridge.”

Joe clearly knew why Chrysalis was doing this. ”I see what’s going on here, the guy from her nightmares was real and now he’s here and she’s freaked out cause he might know about her.”

Ricky pondered at this than asked Joe a question. ”Is he as tall as her if not a inch taller, shape like a starfish, usually holds dice, and looks like burlap sack?”

Joe was surprised cause he described the pretty much basis of this guy. ”How’d you know?”

“Easy there’s, a statue right there.” Ricky pointed to behind Joe causing everyone to turn around and see a fountain and a statue fitting Ricky’s decription.” Don’t know how we missed that.”

Unbeknownst to everyone, a shadow engulfed Rainbow Dash. She tried to call the others but her screams were muffled as she vanished. Emerging from behind Sugarcube Corner were several more skeletons emerged from behind the bakery. The group was ready to fight but Terry was more prepared than the rest and charged towards the skeletons head on. Celestia was going to join him but was stopped as she heard a crash from inside the town hall. She turned to Ricky and saw he heard the same thing.

“Go check it out, we’ll deal with this.”

Celestia was about to but asked Ricky a question“ Are you sure no one else heard it?”

Ricky just looked around “We’ll with Terry getting attacked by skeletons” gesturing to Terry on the ground covering his face while the skeletons just kicked him.

“It’s like getting attacked by a gang!”

“The girls going to help him,” pointing to Twilight and the others who were running to help Terry.” And Chrysalis degrading herself back to her infancy,” Finally pointing to Chrysalis who just continued to cradle herself and suck her hoof in fear.” I think you’ll be all right alone.”

Celestia simply nodded to Ricky and made her way to the town hall door. She walked inside and found no one, not even the mayor inside what caught her attention was a shadowy glob rising and growing in the stage center.

“What the?”

The glob began to take a more complex shape with claws, a tail, and a face with two yellow eyes and mouth, this thing let out a shout that looked directly at her.

“Celestiaaa~!”

Celestia looked behind her and saw Ricky was on a balcony dressed as a conductor, with Marty and Terry holding various instruments.” Hey ain’t gonna let a good song go to waste” Ricky state then began to play a song.

“Well, well, well Princess Celestia, finally made it huh pooh I’ve been waiting.

So how do you like my Oogie town? B’ah ha ha ha ha!”

Celestia didn’t care if he was about to sing, she was going to stop him. She began to start shooting magic blasts at him. a few hitting him, but then he dissolved into the floor but not before throwing a pair of large dice towards her, which she managed to easily dodge it.

“It’s over, it’s over, this time you’ve gone to far,

It’s over, I’m serious, just who do you think you are? ”

Ghosts began to appear around the shadow but they were easily disposed of by a quick blast of magic.

“Just because you fooled the town, doesn’t make you king,

You better give up surrender now, I’m fixing everything.”

The shadow looked amused at her last words, continuing to throw dice at her, none hitting their mark.

“That’s what you think, ha! But you couldn’t be more wrong,

And this will be the last time, you hear the Oogie”s song

Eahoo~”

More ghosts rose from the gorund and beld dice in their hands.

“Woah~”

“Aahoa~”

More ghosts after.

"Woah~”

“Ahoah!”

There are enough of these Celestia thought and so she blasted those which blew up but not before they tossed their dice and she dodged.

“Woah~”

"I'm the Oogie Boogie man!"

Now Celestia had a name to use but it sounded to childish."What have you done to Equestria?"

"Made it rightfully mine and so is your sister."

Now it's time to end this. Celestia thought as she began to charge her horn.

"I see you're pretty proud of all your booby trapping schemes,

But I can say you'll rule this land only in your dreams."

"Ha! that's funny Tia, it was a dream, but now it's coming true,

Cause even my mere shadow knows, your days and reign are through.

Awoah~"

He began to throw several dice at her only for her to dodge.

"Woah~"

"Eaho~"

More dice.

"Woah~"

"Awoaah~!"

"Woah~! I'm the Sun Princess"

This was followed by a large blast of magic, the song ending and Oogie screaming. Celestia thought it was finally over but than he stopped, gathered up the rest of himself leaving a large glob behind than chuckling.

"Beginner's luck if you ask me, don't worry" he turned his head and it looked more like the head of the statue outside."We'll meet again" he then waved as he sank and laughed.

The rest of the group(And a finally recovered from trauma Chrysalis) walked in to see him vanish but Celestia did not notice them walk in as something caught her attention. Celestia looked above and saw something very odd floating down she automatically recognized: the Element of Kindness.

"Now what in Mother's name are you doing here?"

Terry was a little weirded out by this."Are you talking to the crystal?"

Celestia turned around and saw they were all there when she spoke and blushed a little as they all heard what she said. Before she Could explain, Ricky walked by giving Fluttershy,Rarity,and Applejack a piece of paper.

"Get Discord,Apple Bloom And Sweetie Belle. They need to know what's going on to."

The glob Oogie left behind dissolved revealing a figure underneath that caught the attention of everyone in the room: In every way it looked like Nightmare Moon but with the colors of Rainbow Dash. Before anyone responded, it blew away in a non-exsitant wind revealing regular Rainbow Dash underneath it.

"You guys make sure she's ok, I'll go get Scootaloo." Ricky turned around and saw no one was even listening as they were all(Even Chrysalis) were around Rainbow Dash making sure she was okay."Ok. no pony even think about coming with me as back-up. oh that's fair" Ricky muttered as he walked out, a little annoyed.

Author's Note

Originally Discord would've been the only one to leave with Celestia and Discord would've fought the mane six(in the form of Nightmare Moon) singing Welcome to the forty thieves or Are you in or out from the 3rd Aladdin movie. that then turned into this only the mane six would've witnessed it and Terry wouldn't appear until much later in the story.
Next chapter: the crystal empire and a song from The Return of Jafar.

P.S. hint it's one everyone knows.

Chapter 5 The Empire

The house that Joe recommended they stay was odd on the outside, various simple machines like pulleys on oddly shaped slides lined up and all around the house. What was on the inside surprised everyone. It was....

Normal. Looked as Fluttershy's cottage would look with a couch chairs and a table that didn't look like it was crafted in twilight's basement or taken out of a junkyard. It was... welcoming. The only odd thing there was a Wirewolf who could pass to be as old as Granny Smith who Joe said was his grandfather(despite his age saying great) snoring on his couch then waking up startled knocking down a chair and a bookshelf. Rainbow dash withheld a chuckle but Joe did not."Don't worry Grandpa it's not the first time I walked in on something embarrassing."

Everyone just looked at Joe as he just stared into space reminiscing about something, Celestia the only one knowing what it was. Joe's grandpa was the one to break the tension.

"Anyway I'm Floyd. Joe's told me all your names." Floyd than looked at Celestia. "Especially you Princess, in fact he described how Ricky liked to talk about your appearance, especially your personality, and-" Ricky had come back to reality heard Floyd babbling about what he told him about Celestia,blushed a little,than proceeded to cover Floyd's mouth so no more could be heard.

"Don't mind any of that, he lost a few screws coming here. Floyd you said you had something to help the girls?"

Floyd had been oblivious of Ricky's hand being over his mouth the entire time but realized He was rambling when Ricky asked him that question. He took Ricky's hand off his mouth so he could be heard."Sorry i tend to ramble a bit sometimes. a sample is in the jar" He went to another room than returned with a jar full of a green goo."Behold, the Soul Robber. a little something I Reverse-Engineered from a sample a friend of mine gave me." The goo proceeded to burst out of the jar and cover Floyd's face, earning muffled screams from Floyd as he ran out of the room trying to get it off. Ricky broke the awkward silence at Floyd's screams

"Any way these things are meant to help you girls in whatever that Burlap Sack will throw at us."

Ricky had a jar on him, only this one didn't attack him and it split into one Soul Robber for each of the girls, Earning a grin of delight from Pinkie and Dash.

"Now let's get to Cadence to see if the Empire's been affected by this."

Twilight was ready to speak up after Applejack whispered something to her."Me and Applejack will go together. it's not like this guy brought a bunch of more skeletons and knew about the Crystal Empire and sent them there."

Applejack was dumbfounded by what she saw and could only look at Twilight with one thing on her mind that Twilight was sure she was thinking of.

"I probably jinxed it"

Applejack could only look at the hundreds of skeletons that she could see just over the horizon and dignify that sentence with only one word.

"Eeyup."

Terry was bored out of his mind at Floyd's and just began to ask random questions to everyone that stayed, his attention now turning on Ricky.

"Yo Ricky you said once you would seriously hurt anyone who messed with or insulted your friends."

"Yep. and if you say I was bluffing I do not bluff, i hit up that dragon who made fun of Celestia with Wade. you know the red and black wirewolf, with white eyes?"

"Wilson? Wade Wilson? Twin brother of Wilson Wade. Why didn't you take someone like that big Pegasus?"

"Bulk? you remember that time we brought that one guy here and we had a snowball fight? It's also why I never let humans come here again."

Celestia had joined in unnoticed to listen to Ricky's conversation. all though that sounds rude, Ricky always was a great conversationalist and this one certainly was interesting. Terry thought differently.

"Don't really care about that get to the point."

Celestia begged to differ."Terry don't be so rude you're only caring because he gave you that cute antique human wirewolf toy when he started talking."

Ricky indeed gave him a toy, it looked like a Rock'em Sock'em set with wirewolf's. Terry did not care as he began to play with it.

"Yeah it is cute-"

Unexpectedly the head of the blue one Terry's was punching came off earning a terrified scream from him, and Terry hiding behind a table away from the toy.

"Anyway i hit'em with a classic: Sock. i know what you'll say not really painful but that's because i didn't tell you they were filled with butter left in the freezer for a week. But long story short I have closure, no clue where Wade is anymore and I'm never welcome in the Badlands again."

Celestia was a little interested as Ricky was so quick to defend her name that quick. Terry however saw her question a mile away.

"He did because he loves you..." Celestia turned to look at Terry so she didn't see Ricky's right arm turn into a blaster which began to aim for Terry at the word love. "Calyptus trees, one of them was named after you and he was defending that one's honor too."

Celestia found that to be quite odd and would've asked Ricky why he likes Eucalyptus trees so much when a zebra came in she recognized as Zecora from one of Twilight's letters. To Ricky this was his break but was also odd.

"Zecora what are you doing here"

"I came with a tale of great gloom,

We can find no Crusaders or Apple Bloom."

Terry was just utterly confused."In Engli-Equin-Poneys- translation please?"

"All the crusaders are missing." Ricky easily explained to Terry.

"Can't get worse."Terry stated earning a groan from everyone in the room.

"Terry in as long as I lived even I would know never to say that." Celestia said earning agreeing looks from Ricky and Zecora.

As if by cosmic chance, Marty came in with a panicked expression on his face."Guys lot's of blips on the map, moving real fast!" Marty closed his left eye and rise right eye let out a light like a movie projector but put a map of the Crystal Empire and the surrounding area on the floor. Hundreds of white dots represented the skeletons stationed outside the Empire and on it's streets Marty was right the ones outside the area near where they dropped off AJ and Twilight... and they were running towards a orange and purple colored dot.

Ricky knew the question he was about to ask was stupid but asked anyway"They're going after Twi and AJ?"

"Eeyup."

Terry didn't care about this as this brought a revelation to him."So that's what happened to my prank kit of whipped cream and feathers."

Twilight was scared, this could've gone flawlessly if she just said no. But that didn't help so she went with #2: make the pony who thought that was a good idea admit she was wrong."Still think it was a good idea to pull a prank on the one guy who actually took a nap?"

Applejack heard her question but was busy dealing with the skeletons in alley ways of the Empire popping out left and right forcing her to dodge to avoid a fight as they already had enough skeletons chasing them."In hindsight ah should've seen it coming a mile away and ah should've thought it through."

Something made Twilight panic inside, the skeleton Applejack pranked was at the front, and he still had the cream on his face, but what caused the panic was the fact his eyes were blood red with anger and his constant shouts of rage at them. Twilight turned around to see the castle entrance not too far away, did the calculations, than used her soul robber to trip the skeleton causing the predicted chain reaction of all of the skeletons following them crumbling creating a tidal wave of bones following them Twilight used her magic to levitate Applejack to her then flew into the castle closing the door behind them causing the wave to crash, then die down. Unbeknownst to either ladies, a hand made of several bones arose from the collection followed by a hand.

Twilight breathed a sigh of relief as they finally made it into the throne room. She saw no one at first but looked towards a window and saw her sister-in-law looking sadly out the window.

"Cadence!"

"Twilight!"

They both ran to each other and hugged before backing away to do something they've always done.

"Sunshine, sunshine ladybugs awake,

Clap your hooves and-"

They're chant was cut short as something burst through one of the castle windows.

The thing that broke the window was a skeleton but not like the other ones. for one thing it was as tall as the dragon that chased Spike, and to make it better it was made up of several bones from other skeletons and some bones were symmetrically poking out to make it look more fearsome. At first glance it looked like it would be any other skeleton, but Twilight studied it a little more and realized this was the skeleton Applejack pranked.

"We never had the time. Skulls is the name and my game is getting revenge." His tone now turned menacingly."mainly on you two."

For some reason Terry decided to run all the way to the Empire to tell the girls something instead of sending a message to her via Celestia. "Girls don't worry, it magic is more than enough but can't kill anyone" Skulls was already bothered by this and did the most logical thing: breathed fire right on Terry."but'll be surprised what you can live through" Terry told you before falling unconscious.

Skulls only chuckled at his deed."he would've been good for a laugh"

Twilight wasn't about to let Skulls do the same to her."oh yeah?" She quickly proceeded to fire several concussive blasts at him to see if there was any effect and to her joy there was nothing in his spot but a smoldering crater that was in his place."Who's laughing now?" She felt fear as a familiar chuckle filled the air and appearing out of thin air was Skulls at the same height but now as a regular skeleton.

"Why i believe it's me." Applejack could only make sound as music played and Skulls stood there unscathed.

"I must admit, your parlor tricks are amusing

I bet you've got a bunny under your hat

Now here's your chance you get the best of me, hope you're hand is hot.

Come on clown let's see what you got

You've tried to slam me with your hardest stuff,

but your double whammy is just a snuff,

I'll set the record straight,

you're simply out of date,

you're only second rate.

You're acts so tragic but you're tiger's tame

you've got a lot to learn about the magic game

so for you're education i reiterate

You're only second rate!

Ponies cower, at the power, in my pinky,

My thumb is number one on every list.

But if you're not convinced that i'm invincible,

put me to the test.

I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest.

So go and zap me with the big surprise,

Slap me in a trap, cut me down to size.

I'll make a big escape, it's just a piece of cake.

You're only second rate!"

Twilight heard enough from Skulls as he bragged as much as Trixie. So she took over and began to fire at Skulls, these shots actually doing damage to him.

"Skulls you magic is now way tough enough,

To make my mega magic no measure up.

You should pontificate,

in every sorry state

you'll be second rate.

Zabba-cabbra-dabbra.

Twilight's gonna blast ya!

Alacazam De-Nus

My magic better than the both of us!

So spare me your great despair

You look disgusting in your underwear

You already sealed your fate

to discombobulate

get packed in a shipping crate,

you'll better as a spinning plate!

You're only second rate!"

The last shot sent Skulls straight through a wall giving Twilight time to use a trick she used back when Sombra was trying to break in. Terry came to at the same time as Skulls and saw Skulls had a face of rage written all over it and only said one sentence. "I'll show you can't kill!" Skulls proceeded to charge directly at Twilight in hopes a direct hit would suffice. but as Skulls lunged to swipe at Twilight, she dodged out of the way in time for Skulls to roar in rage as he fell into the abyss below.

Twilight than turned to her sister-in-law and began to bring her up to speed on the events that transcribed while she was in the castle. Cadence spoke as soon as she was finished.

"That explains most of this. Shining went back to Canterlot to see if he could help Aunt Luna last i heard he was fighting off these things. when i tried to get out, some of them tried to grab at me so i locked the door inside to prevent them from getting in."

A twinkling noise caught the attention of all 3 ponies and they looked up to see not only the Element of Generosity, but a fireruby, the very same fireruby Spike gave to Rarity the day before his birthday. Twilight snatched the Element while Terry snatched the ruby.

"So this is what powered him up."

A flash of light surprised and caught the attention of all 4 ponies(and wirewolf). they looked outside to see a large orb with a video of two skeletons. the one on the right crudely dressed like Twilight beginning to talk in a accent equal to the costume.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, i give into peer pressure and believe in things that don't exist when everyone else does." The skeleton to his left laughed at this.

"Those are so her mannerisms. and include how she believes in the Pinkie Sense even though it's probably just a very good prank on her"both then proceeded to laugh at her. Twilight found herself furious, and just as furious as she was at Froggy Bottom Bog. As if right on que at that thought, she ignited in flames of anger and blasted off at a speed then would make Rainbow Dash jealous. A few second after that a explosion from Canterlot was heard. AJ, Cadence, and Terry were dumb founded at what happened so quick. Applejack was the only one to speak about that.

"Never that would happen again. Terry you think you could give me a lift?"

"Not unless you wanna go back in the bag."

Author's Note

The visual for Skulls number are the same as the Video except after piece of cake Twilight turns the tables on Skulls.
my original intention was to use This Day Aria but i couldn't find a way to make it work for this

P.S what was the name of the movie Lauren Faust worked on that was referenced in this? first guess that's right gets to know the name of my surprise villain,background,and history in a private email.

And the snowball fight video link is to make this a little funnier to why you should never have Bulk Biceps on your team if you're performing a sneak snowball attack.
And does nobody get who Terry, and Wade and Wilson are a reference to?
i would explain more on Wade but that would be spoilers and push this up to a teen rating.

Cliffhanger! :pinkiegasp:

Chapter 6 The Sister

There were thousands of skeletons around and in the castle in Canterlot. But that was before two of them decided to mock Twilight for believing in the Pinkie sense she responded in away she did in Froggy Bottom Bog. Only this time she didn’t give up, she blasted straight to the castle and smashed every skeleton near her causing panic not only in ever skeleton near her but in the skeletons in the castle, however she made sure not to cause any damage to anything not a skeleton. Celestia knew she had to calm her down, but there were bigger problems to deal with, like Luna, so she flew as fast as she could as soon as she had a clear shot to Luna’s tower. She minded the smoky smell and shattered skeletons and made her way to Luna’s room. When she entered she could see there was a sign of a brief struggle as she turned to the balcony and saw Luna there, no wounds or marks on her body, clearly watching Twilight in a very bad mood.

“Luna, you’re ok! Don’t worry everything will be ok and we’ll be sure to help you.” Celestia was happy as her sister was unharmed but something was odd as Luna only chuckled maliciously at that sentence.

“I can assure you dear sister, if anyone will need help,” Luna turned around to face Celestia, scaring Celestia, as Luna’s eyes were slits just like Nightmare Moon’s with a grin of equal of the same caliber. ”It’s you.”

Celestia feared for her sister thinking of how she missed her for a millennia, but was shocked as she saw something in her mane, exactly where her crown was, which Celestia noticed was across the room in some of the mess caused in the struggle Luna must’ve been in. it was the size of a newborn foal but it had the body of a wirewolf, but it only had three limbs and each one was a single wirewolf finger and where it’s head was, was a single red wirewolf eye.

Celestia came out of her shock at the creature’s appearance. ”What is that thing?”

The creature proceeded to show a little more of it by rising out of Luna’s mane a little more. “Sorry, where are my manners.” Luna’s mouth didn’t move nor was her voice heard. The voice was clearly male and came from thing on Luna’s head, and as it spoke it’s eye glowed a little to signify he spoke. ”Allow me to introduce myself, Sneak’s is the name, snatching minds I my game.”

Celestia had no time to converse with this thing possessing her sister. ”What have you done with my sister?”

Sneak was curious at what she was talking about than realized what it was. “Oh, your sister it’s no problem. I just did as the boss said to and took over your sister’s mind. And it’s more like her made became her unconsciousness while I took over as the new consciousness. But she put up quite a fight I’ll tell you that. In fact she still is, usually most creatures couldn’t resist this much she’s actually still resisting, but not enough to actually slow me down. However there’s still a part of her that acts like Nightmare Moon, minus the endless night deal and so she’s helping me maintain control of the body. So with that settled,” A dark cloud swirled around Luna and dispersed leaving Nightmare Moon with Sneak attached to her helmet in her place. ”Let’s make it one for the books.” Objects like sheet metal and pipes swirled about obscuring Nightmare as it formed into a large wirewolf with no lower body whose eyes glowed a sinister red and a rectangle of it’s chest made of Plexiglas but not obscuring Celestia’s view of Nightmare as music began to play and the hands converted into buzz saws and began to attack Celestia.

“This world has changed my girl, since you’ve been away

Without a sun princess, it’s Oogie Boogie’s way! ”

“Luna please, oh can’t you see you’re wrong”

“You used to rule, but now you’re nothing but prey,”

Oogie Boogie is back, and he’s planning to stay.”

“This whole crazy web you’re weaving,

Sneak from your mind he'll soon be leaving,

Sister please, it’s not to late,”

“All my machines will seal your fate!”

Buzz saws appeared from the window, held in Nightmare’s magic, and began to fly towards Celestia who dodged every throw.

“My blades are now spinning, my creations are large,

When they move towards you there’s no question who’s in charge,

If by some chance you survive the attack,

They’ll be many more, you better watch your back!

The buzz saws were gone, but that didn’t stop Sneak from using the one’s that were the machine’s hands.

We’ll now my girl it seems you’ve lost your crown,

In a few mere moments you’ll be six feet in the ground!”

A new voice joined in the song and it was one Celestia knew well: her faithful student’s. And as if she asked, Twilight came in, but not as that flame of anger but as her student she loved to mentor/

“Stop at once! Can’t you see this is absurd?”

Sneak was not about to allow her to stop this.

“No more tricks! You’re friends are now your foes,

And now this dance is nearing it’s close!”

Celestia and Twilight both thought the same thing: a combined effort of the two of them would win this.

“All these ponies that you’re hurting

, Oh good Royal it’s disconcerting,

Luna please, you’re thinking is all wrong!”

“In a moment finally you’ll be gone!”

“You shoot and attack us Luna please do not fight

Were not your enemies we’re you’re sister and twilight!

When this is all over good friends we will be

You’ll praise Sneak no more, you can take that from me.”

With a final shot from both Celestia and Twilight, the mech was destroyed and Sneak sent flying off Nightmare’s head along with a black clump of goo. Luna came surfacing back as Nightmare came engulfed in a bright light groaning a little. When the light toned down, Luna was left but as she was now, not when she came but unconscious but okay and floating from the ceiling was the Element of Loyalty which Twilight grabbed before going to Luna along with Celestia.

I would've added a video link but the lyric were in different place than in the original video but i'm still glad on how it came out. enjoy. :pinkiehappy:

Chapter 8 New buddies (and in memoir to a Robin)

It took a few minutes for everyone to process the information Celestia had just distributed to them. Terry beat them all to saying something and for once it was relevant to the information.

“Kul’as eh? I’d never suspect the name you mutter in your sleep. And with what he riddled, he’s now posing as Oogie whatever the rest of his name is.--What’s everyone looking at?”

He turned to look at whatever everyone else was looking at: Chrysalis staring vacantly at nothing but her pupils began to contract as soon as Terry looked and her mouth turning into a scowl of pure anger. When she spoke she sounded quiet, as if she was about to explode with rage.

“Where. is. Sneak?”

Sneak made his biggest mistake by walking in hearing his name. ”Someone call my na-“ his question was cut short as Chrysalis rammed him at lighting speed and proceeded to pummel him in the other room. ”Ah! Ooh! Eee! Ouf! Pain!”

Everyone ran to see what happened and saw Chrysalis pinning Sneak to the ground and beating the heck out of him just in time to see her deliver a right hook.

“And this is for giving me those Nightmares!” Left hook. “You think I enjoyed making that mattress into a sponge?!” Right Hook “ Let me tell you I didn’t!” Left hook. She had lied to Joe when she said that it was just sweat stains in the mattress on account it was just to embarrassing. After the left hook, it seemed all her anger was gone. “All right Joe let us leave while we still have a chance.”

Twilight was about to do something that she would regret if she didn’t do it. “You have to stay. And if you don’t want to just hear me out.”

Chrysalis stopped dead in her tracks towards the balcony window and turned to face Twilight. “Shoot.”

“You’ve seen what Kul’as is capable of, and that’s just him not doing anything physically. He could’ve known about you hearing what he said about you leaving while you still can, but what if what he said wasn't true to that and you’ll end up no worse than Tirek.”

Chrysalis growled knowing she was right. She got her relief decking Sneak, she just wanted to go home, curl up in her bed, and sleep this off like a bad dream. "Fine. Not like I had anything better to do."

Terry also smiled at this and spoke up almost immediately after Chrysalis spoke. “All right our fellowship stays together. And with that, YO GIRLS, YOU CAN COME ON IN!”

Two Creatures came down the corridor and when they entered the room they wee revealed to be a Griffon and a light blue pony. Or to the mane six, Trixie and Gilda.

Terry happily explained this to them before something bad happened. “You know how I ran to the empire to help Twi and AJ? Well on the way there I ran into these ladies and it turns out Trixie was taking Gilda here to give Ponyville another chance. Also since Trixie was out of town she had no clue ‘bout the invasion.”

Rainbow Dash was skeptic at the motive of it than looked at Trixie. “And what would you expect to get out of this Trixie?”

“I wasn’t expecting anything out of this except the good feeling you get from helping others.”

Terry was happy about this. “Woo-hoo! Now all we need is to find Lightning Dust and-”

“Are you trying to make a sitcom using them again?” Ricky interjected knowing his Brother all to well.

“Nooo~.” Terry lied kicking a TV camera labeled ‘R.D., T.S., T, G. and L.D. sitcom’ behind him into the closet.

Aaron rolled his eyes before something came to his mind. "Ones of the guards reported in some witnesses say a Keep rise out of the water and some pony hybrids look around as if they haven't moved for years earlier. Should we worry about that per se or one thing at a time?"

A filly like smile formed on the faces of Celestia and Luna. Celestia was the one to speak."No. we should be ready to welcome them in open arms. as well as their ruler."

Luna sighed as she realized who was still missing." I just wish our 'Buddy in the Ruby' was still around."

Terry realized what that sounded like and saw enough movies to know how it works, so he took out the Fire Ruby and rubbed it for 4 seconds. Nothing happened than he realized what was missing than looked to Twilight. "Hey Twi think you could give this a jolt of magic?"

Twilight looked at it than spoke. "Sure." she gave it a small burst of magic into the gem and nothing happened. "Whatever was supposed to happen doesn't seem to be-" she was cut off as the Ruby somehow began to jiggle violently than opened up like a locket, Startling Terry causing him to drop it and run off with the others (Not Celestia, or Luna, and Twilight as she was frozen in shock) as a joyous laughter filled the air. This was followed by smoke flying out and a dark figure yelling as it looked as if it was stretching out than freezing for a second as it reached the top. it than slapped it's right hand on it's neck causing it to look more like a weird green robot with purple PJ's and a nightcap on.

"Oy! 100,000 years will give you" he looked at Twilight. "such a crick in the neck. Hold on one second." he than put Twilight on a hanger which suddenly appeared, leaving her to hold on before she got off and flew back to the spot she just was at. Meanwhile the robot had span it's neck around like an owl before spinning to face forward where he had a smile of relief on his face. "Man is it good to be out of there!" the robot somehow summoned a microphone out of nowhere. "Nice to be back Fillies and Gentlecolts what's your name sweetie?" He held the Microphone to Twilight.

"Uh, Twilight Sparkle."

"Lovely name, would ya like Twilight or just Sparkle? or how about Twirl?" His appearance changed a little so he was the same but in a ice skating costume. "Like 'come'on girls show me a twirl." he skated away. followed by two more versions of him than twirled before slipping on the group.

Twilight was downright baffled by this."Did i pass out or something."

One of the two robots appeared Spike attempting to touch it. "Do you flash? Mind if i do?" he was than soaked by a sudden blast of water that covered him scaring spike who hid behind Rarity. "Sorry to soak you Spikey." He than saw 2 Ponies he thought he'd never see again fly up to him. "Royal Sisses, haven't seen you in a eon, give some hoof." They gave his giant hand a hi-five, low-five, faced it back to back, than shook it's hand still back to back, before flying back down. at this point everyone had come out to see what this was. the robot than noticed something. "Say you guys have gotten a lot smaller than the last time I saw any of you. either that or I'm getting bigger." he than turned to his side and his belly showed out. "Look at me from the side, do i look bigger?"

Twilight was shocked at something she picked up hearing. "Hold on a second, I'm your master?"

"That's right! She can be Taught! What do you wish of me?" he turned into a blue mare with a cape and wizard hat. "The Great and Powerful," a old green mare."Extra Long Contained" changes back to normal than holds a puppet of Pinkie Pie. "Always imitated, But never Duplicated." several versions of him popped up, all saying duplicated. "Genie of the Ruby. Or Mister Cesar Direct from the Ruby, for your very much wish fulfillment, thank you."

"Wait go back, Wish Fulfillment?"

"3 wishes on the nose. But it's no neigh on the more wishes. that's all. 3! Uno, Zwei Trois. No substitutions, exchanges or refunds."

Rainbow managed to sort out all the nut's that just happened and spoke. "OK, we're definitely dreaming"

"Guys! I don't think you realize what you got here, so why don't you just ruminate, whilst I illuminate, the possibilites

Well, Daring Do had them forty thieves,

Star Swirl the Bearded had a thousand tales.

But master you're in luck, 'cause up your sleeves

Author's Note

The memoir part will appear when I update tomorrow.
I also posted this up with the with the Reminiscing And Remembering blog as today is my Birthday. So this post is my Birthday present to me.

*October 11 2014 update*Yes i put myself in the story but that was planned Loooong before this with only a minor role. but when i heard Robin Williams died, to show remembrance i gave him his own video link and a bigger role. i chose the name Cesar on account the name just sounds like royalty. for when i came out in the smoke. i didn't describe some of Twilight talking to Cesar as much as almost everyone whose seen the Aladdin movies knows what happened.

and yes i stopped it at the song end just to honor him more.

Chapter 9: Finding Crusaders and Cosmic Powers indoctrinated

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 10: Round 2 Changeling.

Twilight moved in on Smash, Crash, and Cannon, the trio shaking in fear as Twilight channeled some dark magic to intimidate them. "Who wants the first lecture?" she asked attempting to do an evil voice.

"Uh... Hey Twilight! Trick or Treat?!" They asked her before running and jumping onto a platform behind them. A hole opened below Twilight but Chrysalis pushed her out of the way before she fell down the hole which quickly closed just as it had opened.

"What possessed me to do that~~~?!" Chrysalis yelled to herself as she fell.

Smash, Crash and Cannon laughed at Chrysalis' action. "I can't believe she fell for that one." Cannon joked only for 3 shadows to pop up behind them. The trio looked behind them seeing a evil grin having Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash looking at them. "Trick or Treat?" Smash asked.

"Trick." Dash simply said before she Rarity and Applejack tackled the trio create a dust cloud as they pummeled the mischievous parawolves for the trouble they caused.

Twilight got up finding she was back at the bottom of the treehouse, she was about to fly up to the top when she realized she was stepping in some cake. She looked around and saw the ground was covered in random cakes. She saw Cesar munching on some cake and walked up to him as he looked at her. "Hey Twilight. Made Pinkie a genie. And before you say anything, she wished for it. I read her mind, she wants to be able to have the power to spread the happiness she wants all of Equestria, well except for Tirek, to feel. Plus if you're the same immortal as Celestia and Luna, she'll be there to comfort you for eternity. And now if you'll excuse me, I have a theme to provide to a battle song."

"I don't-" Before Twilight could finish Cesar disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Excuse you. Hopefully she doesn't go power mad like she did in Discord's dimension." Twilight muttered to herself before Pinkie threw a pie in her face zooming by.

"BEST WISH EVER!" She yelled.

Chrysalis ran for what felt like forever since she escaped the maze after falling down the hole, but she finally spotted Oogie, how he truly looked standing on some kind of platform. "Kul'as! Return Equis' leaders to their homes, or I take off the sack to see what you really are underneath."

"I prefer Oogie for now, but I can assure you, this planets leaders are right where they should be, and you're looking at him."

"Your lackeys muttered something about revenge on Skellington. Who is he?"

"Chrysy, you didn't listen close enough. They were talking about how I tend to pay him back for all those years ago. I didn't want you having anything advantage to prevent yourselves from having a heart attack, so I gave the Element of Laughter to someone quite nasty. But enough about me, let's kill you. The Oogie Casino is now, Open!" Oogie then yelled causing the room to light up revealing it as his lair from Chrysalis' dreams. Chrysalis flew down a platform looking at him. "What're we gambling for you ask? Nothing worth much, just your life! CUE THE MUSIC!" Oogie yelled. Out of nowhere Cesar popped up as a one man band as he began to play the music.

"Well well well, look what the bat dragged in, Chrysalis you made it this far oooh I'm really scared." Oogie mockingly said as skeletons wielding swords sprung up.

"Kul'as I'm going to finish this once and for all!" Chrysalis retorted taking some of them out with both magic and the Soul Robber, some which dropped some type of musical notes.

"You're jokin, you're jokin, you're jokin, I can't believe my ears!

You're jokin, you gotta be, best laugh I had in years!" Oogie sang before jumping onto the platform that formed when the floor Chrysalis was on lowered leaving Chrysalis in a pit with the skeletons.

"I hope you did amuse yourself, with this whole little fling,

You better pay attention now cause I'm the Changeling Queen."

Oogie jumped back onto the podium as the platform lowered and the last skeleton was smashed.

"You think you winning, but that's a lotta noise,

just to be a sport dear queen I'll share my Oogie toys!"

Just then, bombs sprung up around Chrysalis as Oogie tried to suck her up, but thinking on her hooves she quickly threw the bombs in his mouth.

"Awoah~" Oogie sang.

"Woah~" A chorus sang.

"Awoah~"

"Woah~"

"Awoah~"

"Woah~"

"I'M-" Oogie didn't finish as the bombs went off, including the ones in him stunning him enough for Chrysalis to beat him senseless. Oogie regained his senses and jumped off. "Is that all you got bug?" Oogie taunted as Chrysalis growled charging up her magic.

"The leaders of Equestria must right now be set free, release them all at once or you will have to deal with me!"

"You beat my men, so what big deal! You're both a hit and a miss,

You still can't stop me, I'm the king, of all Equis."

"Awoah!~"

"Woah!~" Chrysalis sang back.

"Awoah!~"

"Woah!~"

"Awoah!~"

"Woah!~ I'm the only changeling queen!" She yelled firing a huge blast at him knocking him off the pedestal.

Oogie struggled to crawl up as his seams came undone. "You have some nerve coming this far, however the real loser is you, for he who has the last laugh wins!" Oogie said smugly before his bag became undone revealing him as his wirewolf shadow. "Congratulations Duchess, you defeated my shadow, what an accomplishment, the real me is in Halloween Town! RIGHT NOW!" He yelled before exploding, the Element of Magic falling to the floor at Chrysalis' hooves. Looking at it something clicked in her mind: These is the most powerful weapon in Equestria, if she could tap into it somehow, vengeance would be hers, even Kul'as would fear her, such thoughts caused a small mischievous smile to form on her face. But then something else crawled from the back of her mind: Twilight said this is what Kul'as planned for her, what if taking the Element was also part of his plan? Using her as some kind of vessel to be fully reborn. These thoughts made her shudder as she gave it to Cesar. "Take it, before I change my mind." She said with a groan.

"Give me a second." Cesar brought out a cup of water then chugged it before doing a spit take and taking the Element. "You're serious? Given the fact she costed you your entire hive, a pretty kickflank throne, and basically beat you up twice."

Chrysalis' eye twitched and she breathed in and out to calm herself. "I forgive her despite filling with unyielding rage from your reminders, but I will displace that on Starlight Glimmer." She replied through gritted teeth.

"Just to remind, she's Twilight's student."

"I never heard of you being so informative when the Royal's mother died."

"Well I was a young genie and was out of the loop when I came here."

As Terry placed the Element of Magic in its proper place in the Tree of Harmony along with the other elements they had, the group was gathered around braingstorming how they were going to get to Halloween Town without the Element of Laughter.

"Human world? They could be advanced enough to have something for Multiverse Theory." Marty asked.

"No go. I've been writing back to Sunset and she hasn't responded." Twilight replied holding the book.

"We sit around and drink cider until the end comes." Terry added climbing up the tree to put in the Element of Loyalty.

"The irony of what Element you're putting in overlapped with your cowardness overriding saving Equestria is disturbing yet amusing. Fluttershy knows a word in Breezy speech that could represent it." Rainbow noted.

"Hey it's a brainstorm not a plan."

A rumbling beneath them surprised everyone as Cesar dragged himself out of the earth, pulling up kicking a chupacabra on his foot off then covering the hole. "Remember, Oogie said 'someone quite nasty.' Why not try looking somewhere where nasty ponies are known to go? I would suggest the," Cesar then moved behind Luna and pulled the Element of Laughter out her ear. "Earie Canal."

"Luna's ear makes gems!" Terry yelled. "Discord! Shrink me, I'm digging for gems in dat der ear!"

"It was a magic trick Terry."

"So thoust admit thou are warlock?"

"No I'm a genie so-"

"Burn the Djinn!"

"I'm beginning to see why Terry drowns himself in Cider."

"Where'd you find the Element?" Rarity asked.

"Again Oogie said someone quite nasty, the first person to come to mind was Tirek. So I went down into Tartarus and looked. I was right, but let's just say that the Chupacabras had the Itis so that's why I wasn't overrun. I found it going on a Body Adventure through one of their stomachs. Did you know that Chupacabras have 3 stomachs? One of thems for the blood and the other two are for the harder stuff like meat and bones."

"3 Stomachs? Fascinating."

"I know." Cesar then went to the tree and placed the Element of Laughter in it's branch causing the tree to glow bright with harmony. "Ok with that settled, let's get onto Halloween Town, maybe beyond depending on how everything goes."

"Wait who's gonna guard Equestria?" Rainbow asked.

"Relax, I sent a letter to the Dragonlands, and wherever the Changeling's live, Thorax has got this. Ember too."

"I'll stay behind so incase it turns out to be a trap, set up a we just beat Kul'as party over here."

"Aw yeah, premature celebration of victory" Terry replied.

The Group walked towards the tree as a portal opened from the spot where the Element of Magic was, Terry getting closer to Luna before bringing his claw closer to her ear before digging until Luna caught it in her magic aura and twisted it like a pretzel. "There are no gems in my ears." Luna growled annoyed as they walked through, Terry crawling a little to get through, no noticing the living shadow slither away off into the Everfree with an anonymous and malicious laugh.

Author's Note

Still Alive. This story isn't dead. Just haven't worked on it in a while. Next chapter will pick up quicker. I'll try and work on it ASAP.

Chapter 11: A Revelating Return

Ponyville was thankfully a lot peaceful with everyone getting ready for the return/celebration party for the group, however this mades things boring for Ember, as she was hopping to pummel these skeletons Spike mentioned had they not seemed to just up and vanish. She still wasn't a good conversationalist so talking to a pony was out of the question.

She was about to go for a flight to clear her head when a portal opened up right in front of her, out of it came out the group of ponies and wirewolves, Rainbow Dash and Terry looking the most disappointed out of all of them.

"Back already?"

"Yeah. It was lame. We went to see Halloween Town, no Kul'as or whatever he calls himself in sight. Sure it was fun to meet new people but we didn't even get to fight anyone." Terry complained.

"Chrysalis took it as a victory and decided to leave and declared vengeance on us. All though next time she comes around I'm going to club her over the head with a cinderblock. Maybe two." Joe replied.

"I thought she was your friend?" Marty asked.

"I simply found her starving in the woods and decided to help her, never said I was her friend, now I'm indifferent to her."

"Ladies, gentlecolts!" A voice yelled prompting everyone to turn around and see Doctor Hooves running up to them. "A moment of your time?"

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"You're castle just popped back in it's place, like nothing. We went inside and...well this is something you should see for yourself."

The Mane Size, Princesses, and wirewolves ran in after him into the castle, finding the mirror portal on top of the map, glowing with some kind of dark magic that seemed to give it a ominous glow.

"I take it it's that?" Rarity asked before Luna screamed falling to the ground. She was twisting and turning as something was seeming to try and jump out of her. She stood up in time to throw up some kind of black tinted plasma that swirled towards the portal, creating a set of phantom hands that reached into the mirror and pulled it apart like a curtain, revealing the swirling vortex towards the human world, something deep within was pulsating. It was a pitch black heart, it's veins rooted into the vortex seeming to siphon off it's magic before they seemed to crawl forward landing onto the hands falling into Equestria. The Castle then seemed to glow with light as some of it's magic sucked into the heart along with the plasma, causing a dark purple, almost pitch black blood to leak out. The excess pooled and crystallized becoming some rudimentary form of a skeleton, with four arms, struggling to stand up as more of the blood latched out becoming it's vital organs and nervous system, followed by the muscles, it's skills fully developed into a crocodile skull, before the rest of the blood covered it like skin, then hardening. The new being coughed and gagged as it began to use it's new lungs before facing the group.

"Hell...ooo~." He coughed some more before speaking again. "Hello, Elements of Harmony."

"You." Celestia growled.

"Yes it is I, your greatest enemy, your mother killer, the Great and Powerful Kul'as!" He yelled, purple lightning striking for drama.

"Hey that's my thing!" Trixie yelled from outside.

"Is it?" Kul'as replied with skepticism.

"Well I'm working out on getting the phrase copyrighted." Trixie confessed with a scowl.

"Anyway, I have returned, I would have sooner but Tirek's comeback overshadowed mine so I had to delay by a year or so, especially with your lavender psycho's time travel incident." Kul'as looked around before turning back to them. "All though I'm a little out of the loop, revival in someone else's body tends to do a little train cabbage, where's your set of Bejeweled Maguffins?"

"We had to put them back in the Tree of Harmony, we can't use them again." Applejack replied.

"Oh well that's just peachy. Oh sorry I forget you prefer apples."

"Why are you here?" Celestia asked.

"Oh I came to gloat and resume my plans for world domination, maybe beyond."

"Oh~ I sense the explaining of a master plan coming along." Marty lampshaded.

"You see, after Faust caused my demise, my spirit remained, but lacked the power to move under it's own astral power. So I retreated to somewhere to properly heal and fell into a deep slumber, when Sneak, working for my ever so loyal friend Diablo came through and managed to summon me with a psychic. He told me of Tirek's betrayal so I began my plan for a bigger come back. We gathered magic both regular and dark from across the land. Time changed but didn't effect us, so while Sneak was trapped in the original present which is now, I ended up in those timelines. I killed the villains of those timelines to 1. take their magic to feed me and 2. Get revenge on all of them for trying to subliminally be better then me, all though Sombra was out of spite and I just mutilated Tirek.
But digressing, the timeline returned to normal and I returned to my plan of consuming magic wherever I could, thankfully Chrysalis' throne was actually charged of a piece of my calcified remains so that merely revived me, but I lacked the one thing that would make me whole: my heart. As it turned out, it ended up latching and mooching off of the mirror portal, hindering the full flow of Equestrian Magic. But it turns out there was one actual final thing that was missing, a piece of my original dark magic that I used to corrupt Luna."

"What?" Twilight asked shocked.

"Well not corrupt, I simply pushed the thought of astronomers and other night lovers out of her mind, I would've done it to Celestia but she was too powerful at the time, and seeing Daybreaker I dodged a bullet on that one. But luckily it did it's job of informing me of Celestia's true colors, if you don't agree with her or submit to her, banishment, so simple, and even better she can't even stand up to a bug queen without getting her little meat shields to take care of it."

"Get...out." Celestia growled barely containing her anger.

"Oh~ I hit a raw nerve didn't I? Very well." Kul'as stepped down from the table when something clicked in his head. "Oh one more thing, I know about Uncle Fishy being back, I froze him myself, but I just wonder, does he know about your mother, by the way?"

"Does he know what?"

"That you let her die?" Kul'as said before vanishing in a purple glow leaving a silence in the air that a cake knife could pierce.

"So~. That's new." Terry said breaking the silence before hearing Celestia growl. "I suggest we all run."

Everyone began to back away slowly from Celestia as her horn began to glow blood red, along with her eyes as she began to float up into the air. Her eyes slowly darkened, her pupils becoming slits as hatred burned in her heart. Kul'as had caused all her families suffering: Luna's banishment, Her brother's entombment, Mother's death...

'He. will. pay.' Her thoughts chanted.

"They will all pay..." She growled as the thoughts of how she'd let loose and make him suffer began to take root in her mind, the dark voice of the ideas of Daybreaker guiding her, had someone's claws not grabbed her by the foreleg. Her rage filled eyes stared scimitars down at Ricky whose calm eyes coin tuned to show the same message.

'I'm here for you Celestia, it's okay.'

Daybreaker's eyes began to turn back to normal as tears filled them up, before she changed back, crying into Ricky's shoulder as her emotional turmoil finally broke through.

"It's okay Celestia, I'm here for you." He said softly patting her back.

Terry turned to the others. "Ok while they have their little hug out lets develop our plan of retaliation. Kul'as literally left nothing to trace him with but what better way to find a chaos factor with a chaos factor? Like Discord."

A support beam supporting nothing next to the map bent out of shape turning into the master of Chaos himself stretching and yawning. "Boy a nap within Twilight's home sure does make me feel rejuvenated."

"Discord. Where has you been?" Ricky asked as Fluttershy walked to give Discord a hug.

"I came here to try and get in a early Nightmare Night scare so I hid as a pillar when the castle seemed to whoosh. I decided to wait a little to see what would happen when that whole drama bomb went off. It unearthed few memories and I'm a kid of Faust, I'm surprised he didn't sense me."

"Well can you sense him?"

"Not exactly but I might be able to cling onto his trail of dark magic. He leaks it like has a case of the Trots." Discord then focused and he saw a trail of black mist in the air moving into the Everfree Forest. "Follow me."

Ricky turned to the others as Celestia and Luna followed their apparent brother. "Twilight and the girls come with me, you guys stay here incase of an ambush."

Ricky and the Mane Six joined the trio following the trail before Discord stopped as they stood in front of the Castle of The Two Sisters.

"What're we waiting for? That creep's probably hiding inside."

"Far from it Rainbow Dash." Discord replied in a completely serious tone looking at the castle determined eyes, putting off the group save for Pinkie, Celestia, and Luna who had the same stare.

"You see it too?" Luna asked.

"Yep."

"What?" Twilight asked before Discord snapped his fingers and they seemed to teleport...to the exact same spot they stood, only the sky was a dark red, the ground surrounding the castle looked like it was made out of a bone colored ivory, and now they could see a massive creature made out of a pure pitch black goo wrapped around the castle, some tentacles from it slithering down and wrapping around the Tree Of Harmony.

"What. Is that?" Rarity asked in horror.

"No idea, definitely from Kul'as, but whatever it is, it siphons magic. I can sense it." Discord said before they continued onward into the castle.

Author's Note

Finally, I have this up. I know this chapter end was lackluster but I have one chapter left, and a lot is going to be in it to tie up loose ends.

Chapter 12: Final Battle

The Group of the Mane Six, Ricky, Celestia, Luna, and Discord walked into the Throne room of the Castle of the Two Sisters, finding the heart of the creature outside inside, but were shocked at how it was changed: everything was cleaned up, the banners were now displayed with black and purple colors, and the bridge between the two thrones now had the thrones merged into one big black throne with purple cushions and spikes. As well as Kul'as himself who sat on the throne.

"Oh hello Elements of Harmony, and Ricky."

"Hello, Kul'as." Discord said with venom in his voice.

"Oh Discord, I was worried about you, still betraying your family?"

Discord snap his fingers but whatever he attempted to create came it's usual flash of white but instantly dissipated into yellow energy the heart sucked up.

"Yeah that ain't happening, any unusual magic, this thing sucks up like a sponge."

"So that's your plan? Suck up any magic coming through here?" Twilight asked.

"Oh no. You think so small, this will expand outward towards your little town and drain it's residents and your giant glass figurine of a house of their magic like a cold drink on a hot day. Then maybe outward until all of Equestria is a barren and dead wasteland, where I rule having all the magic." Kul'as' eyes widened as a realization hit him. "That timeline of death and ash. That going to be my kingdom. I'm cool with that. I'll be able to revitalize the land to reshape it in my image."

"No. You won't." Celestia replied stepping forward alongside Luna.

"Ok let's go Princess I lost to an overgrown cricket, bring out the 'harmony will prevail' speech your mother had."

"Speech this." Luna replied firing a concussive blast at Kul'as knocking him out of his throne.

Kul'as got up shaking before cracking his back. "Ok I like this." Kul'as said, his four hands glowing purple with power. The Heart convulsed before spitting out a samurai helmet that landed perfectly on Kul'as' head.

Kul'as charged forward slashing at the Two Sisters, missing every slash as they fired back, Celestia and Luna putting up shields at time and firing at precise spots. Luna charged closer, becoming much more aggressive in her blasts, landing one shot at Kul'as' shoulder.

Kul'as stood back rubbing the spot. "So moody, I take it you're pretty mad at that whole corrupting you thing. If it makes you feel better it's entirely you're fault, I merely pushed you in the direction." Luna growled tackling him and actually punching Kul'as.

"You took our mother, you took 1000 years of joy and freedom, you will never rob anyone of anything ever again!"

Kul'as caught her hoof than grabbed the other one before lifting her up. "Maybe, who knows, I know this. This time I will be the reason." Kul'as shoved his lower hands into Luna's chest, glowing with black light as Luna choked as if gasping for air, her coat beginning to darken as her pupils began to slit. Celestia attempted to stop Kul'as but was met with tentacles from the creature preventing her from helping.

Celestia growled as Luna's mane turned a lighter tone, like a starry mist. Kul'as smiled as he felt his influence began to take hold, were it not for the red magic blast that sent him into a wall, ripping the dark essence right out of Luna.

Luna was quivering, feeling cold before looking at where the blast came from. Celestia eyes were cat like and burning like embers, her mane growing into a raging inferno.

"Luna, run." Was all she said before her ornaments stretched into a burnt orange armor.

Kul'as pulled himself out of the rubble and found Celestia facing him, sporting a serrated toothed smile. "Dodged a bullet from Daybreaker?" She asked with sinister intentions.

"Not funny." Kul'as said before she breathed fire towards him, Kul'as flying up using blasts from his lower hands to propel him up to avoid the flame. Daybreaker redirected her fire to the air before Kul'as countered with his own pitch black fire. Daybreaker stopped to fly up tackling the tyrant to the ground. Daybreaker then slammed him around clutching to his helmet before clocking him in the face firing a concussive blast at his chest sending him into the throne splitting it in two.

Kul'as laid there in his thrones remains, groaning as Daybreaker was proving his greatest fear with his current state of strength.

Daybreaker trotted over, leaving a crack in the floor with every step, her wings open to intimidate him, Kul'as struggling to crawl away before she grabbed him and held him up by his neck, her horn glowed brightly.

"Go ahead." Kul'as said with a smile. "Do it."

"With pleasure." Daybreaker replied with a sinister grin, her horn glowing brighter, aiming directing for his heart with a plan to rise up to his brain as well.

"Whoa whoa it was a tease I didn't actually mean it c'mon I'm your nemesis, the always escaping bane of your existence, this is not how quick it ends!" Kul'as said in a panic, filling Daybreaker with disgust at his pitiful beg for mercy of all things, but was slowly replaced with pleasure at the fact she was making the so called Great Lord Kul'as beg for his miserable and soon coming to an end life.

"Don't." A voice said. Daybreaker looked over with a scowl.

"Whoever said that save your breath, he has caused all our suffering with the chaos he's unleashed even in death. Let me kill him and all this horror can finally end."

Everyone was shocked that Celestia of all ponies used the K word, signifying either how much of Daybreaker was influencing her, or how deep her hatred of Kul'as truly went.

"Yeesh even I'm pretty shocked." Kul'as gagged before Daybreaker tightened her grip around his throat causing him to choke out. "Ok, shutting up, shutting up."

Ricky stepped forward, unflinching at Daybreak firing a few warning shots at his feet. Daybreaker then made aim for Ricky's chest but found herself unable to go through with it. Ricky put a claw on her shoulder causing her to growl before Ricky said something that shocked her.

"It's over Tia, just beat him, don't become him."

Daybreaker felt some anger at him using a nickname only her family members were ever allowed to use, but his words touched her core feeling something for him. Her eyes slowly began to change back as her appearance began to change back to that of Celestia, who then dropped Kul'as leaving him gasping for air.

Celestia hugged Ricky before looking at Kul'as. "Former Lord Kul'as, for your crimes against the world, you are clearly as guilty as how easily Daybreaker beat you, you will not receive parole, we're thinking either banishment across the stars or stone imprisonment."

"Oh no I don't think so." Kul'as said before running for the heart firing magic into it. The Heart began to convulse and grow before a massive pink boot kicked him into the heart causing it to somehow implode into a dimensional hole.

Everyone looked to see Pinkie with her part cannon, another boot next to her.

"What? He was just standing there."

"I vote to go in." Discord replied. "Whatever other magic that heart has isn't good in his hands."

"For once I agree, let's have our final battle." Ricky replied running for the hole followed by the others.

Kul'as screamed as he fell down and down into the void. "You can't kill me that easily! I'm the destined king of all Equis!!" He shouted before landing on the ground. He got up and saw he was in some kind of graveyard, surround instead by things from eras long forgotten, a run down crumbling castle, a petting zoo looking field over there, parts of the ground were covered in some kind of purple glop.

Kul'as looked to his heart and growled. "Let's see how much you're worth." He fired his magic into it causing it to write around latching onto the ground, unearthing long lost rubble and ancient dragon bones beneath it, creating...something.

The group landed and were in awe at the mass grave like landscape around them.

"Where the heck are we?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Even I don't know, and I'm able to find almost every spot."

"You can call it Limbo." A voice said everyone turning around to see none other then Kul'as himself. "A place where the universes long forgotten are sent to to make room for other ones. No matter what it was called, Dream Valley, Ponyland, whatever, if it's a past generation of you little ponies, Starlight's alternate timelines, any of that, this is the garbage dump for it all, and your soon to be graves."

Suddenly, something rose out of the ground behind him, revealing it as some kind of large dragon zombie, about as big as the Former Dragon Lord Torch, with pieces of the debris around them attached to it's body, the magic siphoning parasite now rooted into it like a unnatural growth all across it's body. Above it on it's head, Kul'as was controlling it through some of the tentacles on it's head like strings on a puppet.

"Let's go." He taunted as his dragon unfurled it's massive wings before letting out an ghastly undead roar followed by a breath of a dark purple fire.

Rainbow Dash began flying around the dragon hitting where she could to try and beat it alongside Applejack and The Wirewolves but she and Applejack felt themselves becoming weaker with each hit eventually falling back.

"I think that things still sucking up magic, I'm tired flying just from hitting it." Rainbow said panting with exhaustion.

"You gals might be, I'm having a grand time since I don't have magic in me." Terry said hitting at a leg before the Dragon knocked him away like a fly over the horizon. "I regret nothing!"

"So what can we do? Anything we do just fuels that thing undoing the damage."

"What about self inflicting damage?" Rarity queried causing Twilight's eyes to widen with an idea.

Twilight ran around the dragon earning it's attention as she flew up and close by it's growth's. The Dragon roared slamming down trying to squash her like an annoying fly, only to hit itself damaging the parasite causing the dragon to come apart a little. Kul'as seemed to panic a little as the others took to Twilight's idea and began doing the same causing the Dragon to attack more frantically breaking it down even more.

Kul'as tugged on the strings feeling the weigh beneath him becoming lighter. "Stop! I command thee you pile of worm food!" Kul'as yelled at it before it's legs began to collapse. "Aw man." He bemoaned before it fully collapsed on the ground in a pile of bones and the parasite.

"Give up Kul'as, it's finally over." Twilight taunted as Kul'as struggled to get up.

"No way." Kul'as replied lowly. "In fact... I'M JUST GETTING STARTED!!" He roared out before reviving the dragon zombie with his magic causing it to rise again, this time Kul'as flying from a distance from it as the dragon was now able to move under it's own power.

A popping sound caught everyone's ears and they looked to see Cesar away from the battle field with a full orchestra at the ready. "Hey a final battle means a big musical crescendo."

Most of the group rolled their eyes as the music began to build up facing the dragon.

"It's payback time!" Kul'as said through the dragon.

"Is that all you have to say?" Rarity snarked.

"Well, well, well
what a pest you are." Kul'as begin, the dragon slamming at the ground attempted to squash any of them.

"Still around? Ooohh,
can't say I like that.
So why don't you just give up, you know, surrender?!"

"It's over, It's over, your scheme was bound to fail." Celestia sang firing a magic blast alongside her sister taking out it's back legs.
"It's over. Your finished here. Your next stop will be jail!"

"They mock me. They fight me. I don't know know which is worse.
I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first." Kul'as sang attempting to squish them before the Dragon glowed with purple energy, regrowing it's wings back and jumped up into the air.

"What's this? A trick? I'm not impressed. You're bad and now your tall.
It makes it all the more worthwhile to see a giant fall." Luna sang before harnessing some of her dark magic within her to take on some of the strength of Nightmare Moon, appearance included.

"Talk, talk, talk, but I'll tell you, this giant's goin nowhere.
If I were you, I'd take a hike. There's danger in the air." Kul'as sang as the dragon tried and failed to smash Nightmare. Nightmare then began to charge up her magic, lightning striking around the dragon.

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh! Ha, ha, ha!"

"I'm the only Nightmare Queen!" She sang out firing all her dark magic sending the Dragon crashing into the ground, reverting back into Luna.

"Equestria is for it's Ponies." Twilight said.

"Oddly confident for a friendship lover." Kul'as replied before her mane caught aflame in rage as Celestia turned into Daybreak tapping into her own dark magic.

"Well I'm feeling angry, and there's plenty left to do." Twilight said blasting at the Dragons left torn wing.

We've fought your most unwelcome help, and know we're after you!" Daybreaker sung firing a blast slicing it right off.

"Even if you catch me, you could never do me in!
I'm ten stories high and just as strong. Which means I'm gonna win!" The Dragon attempted to crush the two alicorns with it's growing ice claws, clutching Celestia before her mane melted it right off.

"Whoa oh!" Twilight and Daybreaker harmonized together.

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh oh!"

"Whoa oh!" They sang together before Daybreak emptied all her Dark Magic at the Kul'as Dragon alongside Twilight charring part of the dragon black.

"I'm the only Solar Queen!" Daybreaker sang reverting back to Celestia as Twilight's fire mane went out as she calmed down.

"This ends here." Discord said.

"Okay that was your first joke that wasn't funny."

"It's over. Your'e finished. You'll never get away.
You? The Entire Equis King? That'll be the day!" The Mane Six sang in unison doing what they could to damage the dragon helped by Ricky and the Wirewolves.

"How feeble! How childish! Is that the best you got?
You think that you're all hero, girls. But I think you are not." Kul'as sang as the dragon attempted to smash them again. "And I'm gonna show you my stuff."

"Oh just what're you gonna do that we haven't seen?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'm gonna do the best I can." Kul'as then firing down a relentless barrage of dark magic as the dragon slammed around the ring and breathed fire everywhere to an instrumental laughing all the way. The Dragon rose into the air charging with all it's power as Kul'as sang his crescendo.

"Whoooah!
The sound of your dying screams to me is music in the air.
Cause I'm the gamblin' Boogie Man. Althought I don't play fair.
It's much more fun, I must confess, when live~~s are on the line.
Not mines of course, but yours my friends, now that'd be just fine." The only ones not on the ground in pain after getting hit from the barrage were the Mane Six, who rose glowing with the Power of Harmony and the Royal Sisters, who had rose into the air.

"Whoa oh!" Kul'as sang creating a shield around the dragon and himself

"Whoa oh!" The group sang, the Mane Six glowing the color of their respective Elements of Harmony, the Tree back in Equestria glowing, empowering the Bearers of Harmony to end Kul'as plan once and for all.

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh!"

"Whoa oh!"

"We're the only Friendship Queens!" They sang out blasting the dragon, the shield struggling to hold against the power of Friendship, before it began to crack, then blasting right through it, the Dragon screeched in pain as it was being completely vaporized from existence. Kul'as fell to the ground in pain, his control of the now gone dragon broken. Kul'as struggled to get up, looking to see The Mane Six, glowing with a harmonious aura.

"Lord Kul'as of whatever horrid monstorsity spawned you, you have brought endless chaos and suffering to Equis." Twilight said, her voice echoing with the unknown power of Harmony. "For this, you will not be killed like before, you will be banished far from this world to protect it from your sick mind."

"Yeah I don't think so." Kul'as replied kicking her off her hooves than scurrying away from the magic blasts like a bug before unfurling his wings and flying off.

"The Great Kul'as escapes karma again!!" He said flying off in triumph, disappearing over the horizon.

"He will return, as it is his nature, but he will eventually see the light, and help us in the eternal fight against the shadows." Twilight said before the glow died and she blinked like she just woke up. "What happened, I blacked out after we hit that dragon."

"I think The Tree of Harmony just used you girls like a puppet to talk to Kul'as. It's right though, he will be back, and we'll be ready." Ricky replied.

"We finally beat that meanie, it was at least a day but it feels like years of fighting are finally over." Pinkie said winking at the reader.

"A celebration I say!" Cesar yelled out packing up his orchestra.

Everyone was gathered for the new party: the last of Kul'as' dark forces were finally gone, everyone was safe enjoying Pinkie Pie's most massive party yet, now bigger thanks to her new Genie Boost.

Ricky was enjoying his drink before noticing Celestia sitting alone. He walked over finally building up the confidence for something he always wanted to do. "Hey Tia, could I ask you something?"

"Sure. What's on your mind?"

"Well I'm just thinking how easy it was for us to win but then I thought if this was easy what's next for me should be no problem."

"And What's that?"

"Asking if you'd be up for getting coffee and just walking some time."

Celestia let a big smile come onto her face. "Of course. That sounds so lovely. I'll let you know the time."

"T-Thanks." Ricky replied stunned as she walked away.

"You alright buddy?" Cesar asked pooping in.

"She said yes. SHE SAID YES!" Ricky yelled happily.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Cesar asked Discord and Pinkie.

"End Credits musical number like we're in Bollywood?" Discord answered.

"This is why I missed you guys." Cesar replied before looking to the reader and slapping a clear saying one thing.

THE END

"Hit it!" Discord yelled. The Music flared to life as Discord, Pinkie and Cesar danced on stage. "Three Chaos Makers ya'll!"

"She's into superstitions
Black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall" Cesar sang as the Mane Six and Luna danced to the riff following his lyrics, ponies watching such as Thorax and Ember trying not to laugh at Twilight's inability to dance.

"Come on!" The Trio sang.

Cesa tossed the mike into the crowd where it was caught by Terry who cracked his knuckles.

"Woke up in Neigh York City
In a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must've slipped me a sleeping pill" He sang as Luna grabbed the mike sharing it with Celestia.

"She never drinks the water
And makes you order French champagne
Once you've had a taste of her
You'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane!" They sang joined by Terry.

"Come on!
Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca
Livin' la vida loca
She's livin' la vida loca"

Everyone got deep into the music, even as Chrysalis somehow managed to sneak in, attempting revenge only to get caught up in the songs catchiness.

"She'll make you take your clothes off
And go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!" Everyone sang.

"Upside, inside out
She's livin' la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin' la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin' la vida loca!" Cesar rewound time back for once more chorus.

Everyone did whatever finishing dance move they had as the music built up, louder and louder before with a final "Livin la vida loca", a large boom shook the town as Cesar and Pinkie both jumped down for a perfect spilt finish.

Created by Diablo Corps10 Based on characters created by Lauren Faust and the Hasbro Company.

Kul'as approached the sleeping chupacabra sleeping on the ground, the fires of Tartarus roaring after being dormant for thousands of years. His eyes glowed purple as it's magic wrapped around the collection of stomachs the chupacabra had.

"Don't rest too easy Tirek, your sufferings far from over..."

Author's Note

Finally, at least seven years and it's done, many things for the final battle were going to be used but were ultimately cut for time. Tune in next time for my two side by side stories, MLP: Interseason All, and Villains Unite: The Adventures of Kul'as and his Villainous Idiots.

But before you ask, yes a short sequel shall be made, as this was the last day before Nightmare Night, how shall this story effect it, find out around Halloween(Or earlier depending on time(I.E. me)) to find out.

Chapter 1(or prologue. pick one and stick with it)

Night had fallen on Equestria making it's forests pitch black in the canopies.

And now no place was darker there then the pits of Tartarus themselves. This place was basically dependent on the surface for light, now you would barely be able to see 2 feet in front of you.

This did not stop the creatures from flying to their destination.You would think dear reader "these guys must work here and are transferring a dude." but it is far from that. They carry out the order of their dark master...

With a darker purpose.

within minutes they had reached their location and prize: the skinny centaur formally known as Lord Tirek.

"Are you followers of me, old friends, or looking to make something of yourselves here?"Tirek queried.

A creature in the back pushed his way to the front indicating his dominance over the others. Tirek could not make out the distinct features, but he made out the basic shape: built similar to a minotaur but slightly skinnier, but could not see if it had horn as it wore a hood.

"Well? are you not the leader or are you a mute?"Tirek asked liked before only slightly irritated by the silence.

The... thing as Tirek would've called it let out only a few breaths that might has well have been from a Ursa Major cause it sent a chill up his spine

"Is he good friend or new enemy the prisoner wonders"

Tirek shuddered a little the male's voic sounding vaguely familiar his attention was turned elsewhere as several smaller creatures grabbed at the front of his cage

"I can assure you i am not good..."

The cage front finally gave away to the hooded demons followers. Tirek found a great sense of relief cause he could finally leave but that was replaced with slight fear as the creature than walked into the cage.

"...Nor am i friend"

Tirek wasn't paying attention to himself but he was backing away from the creature he could now see were chupacabras walking towards him.

"Let this be a lesson for your betrayal Tirek. And rest assured, your reprisoners shall be next."

What happened next would be unexpected, even to Tau Sunflare herself.

Flames began to arise in Tartarus. They started out as sparks than arose into great infernos that shot across the pit.

"Do not disappoint"

This surprised Tirek as this time as the voice spoke no words left the demons mouth. The next words that came out terrified Tirek on account they were the demons own and that voice actually belonged to someTHING else

"Yes my liege."the demon spoke as his hood turned into a smoke that left to show a chupacabra as tall as a minotaur and same size width,built like a brick wall.

The cloud left it's destination unknown as it's purple eyes let out a flash.

Celestia awoke in a startle from her nightmare. she looked around and saw she was still in Canterlot and sighed with relief.

"Celestia are you all right?"

She looked to see her mechanical longtime friend. He looked similar to werewolves of folklore and said he was related to some and said he was a wirewolf from another world come to find a place to call home. As years went on she had grown to accustom feelings for him as... more than a friend.

She had heard his question."Yes. everything's fine Ricky."

"Are you sure i heard mumbling a little in your sleep."Ricky asked obviously showing concern for his longtime friend.

''It was just a bad dream."Celestia simply stated

Ricky began speaking "You sure? You've been-" Ricky would've continued but was interrupted as a roar echoed through the castle. This was recognized by Ricky and other wirewolves as a roar of their great ancestors who roared to let a the world know the night was theirs.

All Ricky did was groan.

"Terry's up again. Have a good night Celestia. I'll go calm him down before he's thrown in the dungeon and i have to bail him out..." Ricky annoyingly stated as he walked out of the room.

"...Again."

Ricky closed the door as he sadly said those two words most staff in the castle knew.

Celestia looked around the room and saw she was alone."You can come out now Luna."

The Princess of the Night left from her hiding spot in the dark next to her sister's bedroom.

"Why do you look so concerned about a dream regarding the fate of the 2nd greatest threat to Equestria sister? he can not bother us now"Luna asked hoping to give her sister comfort.

"Because Luna, He was there and it seemed to real to be fake. If what happened is true than Twilight and her friends are in danger."Celestia stated to insure her sister a monster darker than Sombra would come back.

"This may be true, we can discuss it when you get back from your journey to the borders. the fresh air will clear your mind a little."Luna recommended on account she knew her sister would journey from Canterlot to get some well deserved vacation time.

"You're right Luna. Are you sure you don't need anything else Luna?" Celestia asked with her ever present motherly tone.

"Celestia i'm more than capable of taking care of Equestria while you are away. You almost worry as much as Your student did that one time she didn't have a friendship report." Luna annoyingly pointed out at first than giggled a little as she reminded her older sister of the Twilight went a little 'loco in the cocoa' as Terry said that day.

Celestia chuckled a little remembering that little incident as she went back to her bed."Okay. Goodnight sister."

Luna than departed, on her way to perform her knightly duties.Little did either sister know, Ricky never left the hallway and eavesdropped on the entire conversation as he showed great concern for Celestia and even had a few... strong emotions for her. his ears dropped as he Celestia say how there was someone worse than Sombra and Tirek (Who Ricky wanted to beat the heck out of for banishing Celestia to Tartarus, but right now that guy had bigger problems) and was the Numero Uno threat to Equestria itself. He would've gone in to ask Celestia what the guy's name was but another roar that called 'Who woke me up?!' beckoned him walk down the hallway to take care of that little mess.

Author's Note

As you see there will be some CelestiaxRicky in the future. Oogie's debut is next chapter as well as where Chrysalis has a vision just as juicy as Celestia's
I gave Mystery Smoke different colored dialogue because 1.He's that awesome 2. That color is significant to parts of him (Mostly eyes and magic he blasts out).

Next Chapter:Chapter 2(Chrysalis couldn't be more wrong)

Chapter 7 The Answers and The Truth

Luna began to stir from her unconsciousness and looked up to see her loving sister staring back than immediately pulled her in a tight hug.

"Sister! You're back! I have terrible news that occurred while you were gone. This creature from another world Invaded in hopes of conquest and sent some minion," Luna began to realize the events occurring earlier. "To, control, my" with each word she turned slowly to look at Sneak who walked away slowly in hopes of not being detected. All anger she felt came from there and she forgot the time Twilight taught her to change her approach. "YOU!!!"

Sneak yelled in panic and attempted to escape only to be caught in Luna's magic aura. Luna would've destroyed his audio sensors right there had Celestia not taken hold.

"You have angered my sister greatly with what you did, I would strongly suggest you 'spill the beans' as it's said."

Sneak did not need to be asked twice as he squealed like a pig.

"The boss knows that you know Jack Skellington, so he used logic and decided what better world to take over than the friend of his. So he had me do a little research and take the Elements of Harmony to make sure you couldn't use those on him, and finally used some magic he had to move Twilight's tree to somewhere you won't find it."

Celestia now knew the reason for this coup. ”Anything else of significance we should know?”

Out of nowhere Rainbow Dash came in and grabbed Sneak from the royal’s magic aura looking at him aggressively. ”Did he take three fillies by any chance?”

Sneak sounded a little happy form her query. “Now that you mention it yes. Three of our own guys stole three fillies; coincidentally each one was a different race-”

Sneak’s sentence was cut short as Rainbow’s grip on his neck tightened causing him to gag a little. Dash than preceded to yell directly in Sneak's face.

“Names! Now!”

“How should I know? Darn it Dash, I’m a henchman, not a secretary. Or a doctor either.” Sneak retorted, the last statement a bit confusing to some (and you if you have no idea what reference that is).
If it couldn’t get more odd, a pony apple bucked the door down later revealing Applejack and Rarity walking from it, the former looking perturbed while the latter spoke to Sneak. “Fighting isn’t really my thing I’m into fashion, but I’ll rip you to pieces if you hurt a strand on my sisters head!”

A look of surprise appeared on Sneak’s eye. “Now I know why you look familiar, that was your sister? Wait the names are coming back to me, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and… the last one. Owned a scooter I than stole and made fun of her wings-”

“WHAT WAS THAT!?” Dash shouted hearing Sneak’s last sentence.
“Scootaloo, that was it. And your going to end me, follow my pack’s ancient saying:” Dash proceeded to raise her hoof. ”Not in the face!”

With the skeletons outside disposed of, it was no surprise that the rest of the group showed up Terry with a blanket confusing Twilight. Terry saw her curious look.
“For Celestia, see?” Indeed Celestia was out cold, but it was not from injury. Terry proceeded to technically mock her by taking in a baby tone.
“Awwww the wittle girl is all tuckered out from the fighty-wighty.” Ricky pushed Terry out of the way and put a helmet on Celestia than himself. The helmet looked similar to the helmet Twilight put on Pinkie Pie to figure out how the Pinkie Sense worked.

Twilight couldn’t help but ask-“Why are you doing that?”

“Something Luna promised Celestia to do when she came back. I’ll have to be an exception as Luna might be a little woozy.”

Luna overheard Ricky’s comment on her condition. “I am still magic able to perform this task. But if you are still doing this I’m coming too.”
Rainbow forgot about hitting Sneak, as this sounded cool. ”Same here.”

Ricky didn’t need to hear to know that the others would want to see what they’d see. His hand transformed into a cannon and shot a helmet at everyone except Luna and connected those helmets to his.

”You might feel a slight jolt.” Ricky pressed a button on his wrist and a huge electric shock went through every pony other than Luna and all f them fell to the ground unconscious while Luna just stood there, eyes pure white and unblinking.

Every pony woke up and found himself or herself in an odd place. Except for Luna who knew this place all too well other than the roaring fire.

The pits of Tartarus.

Luna had suspected that the dream Celestia had was beginning to occur, and her theory was proven right as she saw several chupacabras walk into a cage towards something inside it. Everyone was shocked as what burst through the crowd with surprising strength, Tirek.

Ricky smiled at this and shouted to the sky. ”Thank you karma!!!”

Twilight was about to tell Ricky how the chupacabras were now going to come after them, but noticed the Chupacabras were still focused on Tirek and completely ignored them. Twilight concluded that this was working similar to the potion the Zecora had given her when the Plunderseeds invaded.

”C’mon everyone, let’s follow him.”

Fear filled Tirek he had never known as the one that he betrayed whose instilled more fear than he even could hope to do he than saw the Large Chupacabra that He possessed flying towards him with a scrawnier one flying alongside him. With what little magic he still had, he sent a rock on a higher ledge falling straight towards the Chupacabra and slammed right onto him, the Scrawnier chupacabra grinning and gesturing the others to pick up their pace before flying off out of the pit, destination unknown. The one advantage of the fires to Tirek was that it allowed him to see their overall appearance: wings the same leather color of a bats as with their claws, but bright blue skin, red spines on their body and oval pure red eyes. Tirek turned around and saw a chupacabra matching the others in appearance except for the fact he had yellow eyes instead of red. He decided to name himself after his race but shortened the name to say it better.

“Chu! You gotta help me!” Tirek proceeded to hide behind Chu to buy him a bit of time.

“Dude, stay calm. I’ve been training for this moment my whole life. I’ve seen all the horror movies, so I literally know everything about how to avoid stuff like this.” His fact was cut short as a chupacabra bit his shoulder than let go as Chu’s eyes turn the same color as the others. It appeared he would’ve gone savage when he turned around but appeared like nothing happened other than his eyes.

“Second thought, gonna flip the script. Can I… eat your brains? Yeah or nay? Seeing some yay faces over here…”

Tirek only screamed as he ran for his life as his only ticket out turned on him. However he turned the corner found salvation again in an exit that was plainly unguarded only for it to quickly be covered by a colossal swarm of chupacabras.
The ones chasing him came around the corner and Chu was in the front.

“Ohhh, that’s a bummer. Good news for me though. Heh heh”

“Chu!”

“Sorry dude I just really want those brains.” He proceeded to make zombie noises and walked toward him with the rest in the cliché fashion.

Tirek quickly grabbed a ball of rock and fire and threw straight at Chu. “Stay back!”

The ball missed Chu by an inch, but went straight into the mouth of the chupacabra directly behind him who was about to roar but the ball stopped him causing him to swallow it. 2 seconds past and the Chupacabra roared again, this time a fire rose off his body, giving him a more demonic look and adding shade to his brothers around him.

“Give it up dude, your fighting back only makes us look more rad.”

Tirek saw something out of the corner of his eye that didn’t even make sense to be there in the first place: a kitchen stove pilot as large as a teenage dragon, and all the fires of Tartarus spanning out from it. Tirek found a cave he could use to hold out from the chupacabras chasing him. He moved in and before blasting a rock above to make sure he was safe he blasted the pilot causing the flames to go out. When he heard nothing and the lights wee out he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Safe.”

His relaxing was cut short as a fwoosh was heard from behind him. Tirek turned to see the rock blocking the cave, it’s top blown clean off, and Chu behind it his mouth releasing a little smoke.

“Hey man. By the way, I taught the chupacabras how to permanently keep the pilot lit. Among these dudes I’m like a genius. Heh heh.”

As if on que, the fires of Tartarus relight shining on Chu and the ones around him giving them a terrifying shade, as Chu backed away a little as the Chupacabras around him moved in climbing over the rock.

”Get those brains dawg.”

Tirek found a path up the rocks as the only chance of escape and took it without a second thought. As he ran up the path, the chupacabras came closer. He turned and saw he had come to a cliff giving him nowhere else to go. Tirek turned around to see the Chupacabras slowed down seeing he was officially cornered grinning with malicious joy and began to walk slowly towards him. Elsewhere back the entrance, the ones down there got the message and walked at the same place as the ones on top one of them being Chu, who happened to pass by a TV.

”Oh the end of the Lion King is on.” he sat down in front of the TV on the couch in front of it. A chupacabra way past him roared for to come on.

”Meh, I already sat down.” Chu said than getting more comfortable on the couch.

Back at the cliff edge, Tirek backed away in fear, as he was unsure of what they planned to do. “Wait! I can get you more power than what he can give you. What’d you say for or against?” the chupacabras said the same thing in union in the same monstrous voice as a few grabbed him and brought him towards the edge.

“Against.”

And than they threw him down where he landed but was unharmed. The chupacabras flew off leaving him to his worse fate to come.
Tirek was knocked out by the fall, but came to, looking up to see three figures walk by the flames onto a rock giving him a clear view of them. Two of them he recognized as Celestia and Luna but they were different from the last time he saw them. For one thing Celestia’s manes colors were a darker tone and instead of horseshoes she wore purple boots with a gold edge at the top. Luna had on gleaming red boots that looked more sinister in the flames and her crest was the same color. He crown looked more like a bats wing also red. Who was on Celestia’s right surprised Tirek even more” the one who sent the chupacabras after him, this time, he was a chupacabra but with black skin and purple eyes. Tirek used this as a chance to escape by attempting to fawn at their feet to try and earn their favor.

“Ah, my great and powerful master.” Tirek spoke bowing to show respect.

Celestia spoke and her first word had a bit of a laugh in it.” Master? I thought he said he was a weak and worthless fool.”

Luna responded while the demon remained silent. ”Yeah, that’s what I heard.”

Tirek’s mouth opens in horror as he realizes not only are these not the real Celestia and Luna but also he cannot talk his way out of this mess and his actions consequences have come to fruition. Celestia and Luna both looked at the demon for his opinion.

“Boss?”

The demon only laughed darkly and insanely as he joined the chupacabras looking just like the demon having their own laughter like psychotic hyenas while Celestia and Luna grinned evilly at what was about to happen. Tirek no longer thought logic and only desperation as they closed in on him as he backed up the wall.

“No. L-L-L-Le-Le-Le-Le-Let me explain. No. You don’t understand. No! I didn’t mean for… No, No! Look I’m sorry I called you… No! NOO!”

His pleas fell on no ears as the chupacabras dogpiled him, having their meal as the flames consumed them.

Twilight looked in horror at the scene unfolding below and couldn’t help but feel sorry for Tirek. Ricky thought the same then went back to thinking he deserved it. The others were shocked while Fluttershy fainted as soon as they began to jump him. The area around them went black as anew scene formed, Fluttershy was coming to and saw the stars appearing above her, looking in awe.

“Whatch’ya lookin at?”

Fluttershy jumped at the voice but turned and saw it was Terry’s brother Aaron. Difference between then was he had a moon shaped burn mark on his chest.

“Hi Aaron. What’re you doing here?”

“Well I came out of my hiding place, not in the closet and I came out and saw you guys passed out on the floor hooked up to Ricky’s machine. So I thought ‘can’t beat’em join’em.”

The two of them overheard shouting to them.

“Hey guys someone’s coming. Check it out!”

They met up with the group that consisted of the trip’s ponies (or wirewolves) Pinkie pie, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Luna, Chrysalis, Joe, Marty, Terry, and Ricky, and walked towards a large ship shaped ruin seeing…. Something land. A closer look and they realized it was the large chupacabra that was crushed by the boulder, but close up,

This was no chupacabra. For one thing it was red and another thing, it was much larger than it looked. To Twilight it looked like a… human she believed. To Fluttershy it looked like one of those thing Twilight told her about when she went to get back her crown, and her that time she was sucked into a comic book, became Saddle Rager, and got mad, only the skin turned red. Either way to all of them this was a red spiked Hulking creature whose face looked similar to a skull with flesh, but keeping the bone appearance, Luna felt a chill go up her spine when she saw it’s yellow eyes and mouth both glowing menacingly. It opened its mouth and spoke; it’s voice male and deep, reverberating.

"Sunshriek, I’m home”

An actual chupacabra, the very same one that left when the boulder crushed this thing, appeared, apparently being the one called Sunshriek. When he spoke it was menacing, but also fawned at his apparent master.

“Lord Diablo, I was so relieved to here of your survival.”

The red creature apparently Diablo placed one of his clawed fingers on Sunshriek’s chin slowing dragging it up as he spoke and removing it when he was done.

“You left me to die in that pathetic mystic prison.”

“Only to help make more for our army. The master decrees it. After all during you fulfilling his greatest wish, someone had to do it.”

Diablo looked irritated and slammed him in a wall with red orbs behind him.

"So disappointing”

Sunshriek choked but still pointed out the orbs, filled with their next species of evil to use.

“Careful hatchlings! Careful, fragile.”

“Even when in death, there will be no command but mine.” as Diablo spoke a orb cracked allowing a snake like creature to fall out then flop around like a fish.

The group walked to where Diablo was walking and came up to a area looking similar to the bridge of a ship Luna turned to the captain’s chair and what she saw not only made her heart skip a beat, but cause her blood to freeze solid before she came back to reality and realized who it was.
A humanoid skeleton covered in total smoke but its outline was visible, it’s skull elongated like a crocodilians, and two glowing unforgettable purple eyes. Luna would’ve blasted it there and now but she remembered it wouldn’t have made a difference. So she turned to the group to see Diablo about to speak.

"My master, I failed you on Equestria. Tirek’s interference caused the boxes power to be transferred to the element wielders. Without it your plan shall perish”

"You have much to learn my disciple. The box would’ve done nothing; its great power would only go to those of pure good. At least you have fulfilled my command to make sure Tirek causes no more interference.” The smoke in the chair spoke its voice dark, terrifying and evil.

“But it appears Sneak has failed by being captured.”

"He was mearly a useful pawn by using their collected magic from their travels to return me to power so that I may take revenge of Tau’s children and the one I so foolishly called my brother. Her last action resulted in my demise, meaning only a Alicorn of pure magic could defeat me, and only an amateur one remains.”

Twilight Sparkle… the sun raiser protects her.”

“With what is truly planned, not for long. Sneak did well using the spell to give the changeling, formally known as a queen nightmares, warning of my return through the burlap sack of a vessel. If she is intelligent, she will leave while it is still possible.”

“If she does not, she will join in the rest of doom.”

“When the time is right, she will.”

The group was shocked at they were hearing but heard no more as everything around them faded to black

When they all came back to reality, the group found themselves back at Floyd’s but still on the floor. When the looked around they turned and saw Celestia, with a look of great remorse on her face. While Terry had a look of confusion on his face.

“Can you tell us why Tony Todd has a vendetta against you?”

Celestia sighed at Terry’s remark thinking it as a joke and how she had to tell a tale she never thought would be told again. “Where are Shining and Cadence. This is something you all must know.”

Cadence came into the room hearing that last sentence.” What?”

“I’m glad you’re Cadence. Now I can tell you of a tale that is older than me.” Terry grinned at that.

“I love stories like this.”

“Then let me tell you this tale.” Out of nowhere, Terry got out a few mugs of cider and drank each one while eating some popcorn.

“You all know the tale of Faust, the first Alicorn who helped create our world. But you only know a part of the tale. Long ago, before any of the events 1000 years ago, but not long after me and Luna came into the world, we had received word that Saddle Arabia was conquered by a self proclaiming evil incarnate that took the name of it’s legends greatest hero, to spell it backwards, as it was the name of it’s greatest villain. We than received warnings that he was coming to invade Equestria, This came from his own brother who used this same name his brother used, kept it forward. Our mother sought to deal with the threat personally not knowing what fate had in store. The last face I saw on my mother was one with great sadness, thinking she would not come back. We found out with great despair it was true.
He then attempted to use the Tree of Harmony to his own quest for power. We made it to the Tree, attempt to remove him from it, but his influence was already too deep into it. When it seemed his victory was at hand, a light of of pure harmony shined on the Tree, purging him from it's roots. Not long after we escaped, he burst into a rainbow of pure Harmony, not only the first being to be defeated by the Elements, but the only one to be defeated by them Lethally. His forces were so shocked by his sudden demise in our darkest hour. They scattered like fly being directed into hiding by his second in command, Diablo and his goal followed by both Diablo and his apprentice at the time Tirek."

Everyone was shocked at this revelation but Terry was the only one to speak." One: that's a mouthful, and two: what's the name of this bigger jerk that was the master of that regular jerk?"

"It was that would even send a shudder to Sombra and Tirek, a name that gives discomfort to anypony even when all references to him were removed from books to prevent anyone from attempting to follow his example, or worse bring him back. His name was
