Author's Note

AN: I shall be finishing this story, for those of you who wonder why I left it off at this point. I shall be publishing it like this because, I would like to see what people have to say about my style. Any constructive criticism as for how I can improve shall be welcome. Also, for those of you wondering why I am making a story like this, it is for two reasons. One: it is because I hate MLP, as evidenced by my account profile. Two: because, I have looked through fimfiction and fanfiction, and have not found a single MLP crossover fan fiction that has the main character of the crossing over world (i.e. Dan and Zaniphar) just go in and murder all of the inhabitants, while staying true to the characters. Also for any bronies who are going to read this, bring the hate, and (which is another reason why I stopped it here) after the battle between Dan, Zaniphar, and the princesses, things are going to get very bloody, and very dark. So yeah besides that, I own no references to any shows or video games mentioned. These include Dragon Age, Infamous 2, My little pony: Friendship is Magic (uuuh, I could hardly write that without a shudder going down my spine), or Dan Vs.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: To Start a Fire

Dan sat in the bushes on the inner edge of the Everfree forest. It was night time, the moon showed full in the sky, illuminating the wooden houses with thatched straw roofs. *I guess I should've expected the moon to be out after all, that Princess Luna is controlling it* Dan thought to himself as he observed the small town with disgust, making sure to stress the word 'Princess' so in his mind it came out as more of a hiss than a word. "This is the night we attack, Zaniphar is the spell ready?" Dan asked his companion and master. The man called Zaniphar was about Dan's height at 5'4", wore a black cloak with red trim, sat in a white circle made of chalk, seeming to concentrate very hard. To most people, Zaniphar would look like a crazy person sitting down talking to himself, but to the trained eye they would see that he was inside of a magical circle preparing a spell.

"In about...now," Zaniphar said as the circle began to illuminate the area around him, revealing the short, snow white beard that connected to his similar hair, the deep wrinkles on his face, and the pale, green eyes that borrowed into anyone's soul. Dan, dressed in his usual black shirt with the word "Jerk" on the front in bold, and blue jeans, liked Zaniphar's eyes, they reminded him of the world he wished to create. A world where the streets ran red with blood, and everyone bowed to him, as he freed them from the hum drum everyday life of reality. Zaniphar was one of the only people Dan really respected as a person, and a master. He was the one who taught Dan all about magic and how to use it. Dan watched as his teacher's hands began to glow and tiny balls of molten lava filled them. "Are you one hundred percent sure you want to do this? Once I throw these, there will be a battle, and no turning back." Zaniphar asked. He knew Dan, he knew about Dan's obsessive lust for revenge, but he wasn't sure about Dan's resolve, however he got his answer shortly.

"Do it," Dan said.

Zaniphar stood up inside the circle, reached his hands back, and the split second before the lava balls left his hands, he shouted "Fireball!" The balls soared through the air and landed on the two closest houses...then exploded throwing hot magma everywhere. The battle for Ponyville had begun.

"Girls, princesses, are you ok?" Spike, a small, purple dragon, asked of his friends who were in the library. All of them looked like they had seen a ghost, or worse. Six of them were his friends and three were the princesses of the entire world of Equestria. His friends were Twilight Sparkle, a purple alicorn with immense magical power, Applejack, and orange earth pony, the strongest type of pony in Equestria. Rarity, a white, unicorn with a purple mane, who loved fashion, Fluttershy, a shy, yellow pegasus who loved animals, Pinkie Pie, a pink, earth pony, who love parties and her friends, and Rainbowdash, a rainbow colored pegasus, who was cocky and fast. The princesses were alicorns, ponies with the aspects of all three types, earth with their strength, unicorns with their horns and magic, and pegasi with their wings. They were princess Celestia, a white mare with dominion over the sun, princess Luna, a black mare with control of the moon and Celestia's sister, and princess Candence, who was the ruler of the crystal kingdom. All nine of them had felt something, but they weren't sure what. It felt like an omen, almost like the cold hand of death coming over the land of Equestria.

"What was-," Twilight was cut off by the sound of the explosion, the smell of burning straw and wood, and the screams of dying ponies.

"Spike stay here! Everyone come with me, we must get the elements of harmony!" Celestia said as she lead them out of the library towards the palace. Spike wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew it would end badly, for everyone.
