Dan and Zaniphar vs My Little Pony

Chapter 3: The Beginning of the End

A golden aura flashed into existence on the edge of Ponyville. It was there one second and the next it was gone, replaced by nine mares. Four alicorns, two pegasi, two earth ponies, and a unicorn. "All right everypony lets-" Celestia stopped mid sentence, as everyone looked around at what remained of Ponyville. Normally, Ponyville was alive with activity, ponies would be going about their business, cooking, cleaning, repairing, whatever their job was. Now, all that was left of Ponyville, was a smoldering mess. The fires had consumed most of the houses, and they lyed in crumbled heaps of charred wood, some of them were still burning. The houses that hadn't been hit by the fire, were abandon, Celestia found out after a quick scan of the area. Mixed in with the destroyed houses, were the bodies of ponies of all shapes and sizes. Pegasi with mangled wings, that stuck out at weird angles, stallions whose heads had been crushed, leaving with them pools of dry blood and grey matter, mares and foals, who looked like they'd embraced each other at the precise moment of death.

Rarity and Fluttershy fainted, the rest gasped in horror at the sight before them. "I knew it was terrible sister, but nothing like this," Luna said, choking back tears.

"Who could've done this, Celestia?" Cadence said, in the same state as Luna.

"I don't know, but whoever it is has absolutely no heart or soul."

"HEY I RESENT THAT STATEMENT!" came the reply from a familiar voice. All nine of the mares looked to the origin of the shout and saw six figures. Four of them were Spike, Applebloom, Scootalo, and Sweetie Bell. The other two were someone unknown to the ponies, and someone they knew very well.

"Wait it can't be..." Twilight Sparkle said, with rage growing inside of her as they all said the name of the second adversary at the same time

"DAN!"

"Ah it's good to see that you remember me," Dan said as he stroked Applebloom's mane, much to the discomfort of the latter and her sister.

"Ya'll let her go NOW!" Applejack said clearly getting upset.

"What are you doing here anyways, pighead?" Rainbow Dash said.

"The same reason why I was here last time...revenge," Dan said stretching out the word revenge so that it hung in the air, like the smell of rotten pumpkins.

Two weeks ago

Dan was enjoying a normal drive home. The sun was shining, there was no traffic on the road, he had his sandwich. Pretty much everything was coming up Dan. That is until he made it to an intersection right in front of his house.

"Well, everypony here we are," Twilight said as the main six and three princesses walked out of the portal, right in the path of Dan's car.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Dan exclaimed as he rapidly turned the wheel to the right, causing his car to spin out of control. Luckily, Dan was able to avoid the nine...ponies, he believed they were...and jumped out of his car to avoid bodily harm to anyone. However, he was not able to save his car, which slammed into a tree, front first, completely destroying the front and engine of the vehicle. Then the car spontaneously combusted, causing fire to engulf the entire vehicle, and then it exploded. All Dan could do was fall to his knees saying, "My...car...it's...gone..." That car was the second most important thing to him, in this wretched world called reality. He would gladly sacrifice people the world over, to have his car back.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry mister," or in this case, to get revenge.

He looked to the ponies, he had swerved and sacrificed his car for(any bronies here know what they look like, and if you don't just look up their names on Google). When he saw them, he didn't get a warm feeling of doing something good, nor a sudden urge to breakdown at, what some would consider, their adorableness.

The lavender pony came up to him tears in her eyes, "I am so sorry about what happened to your...um," she, as Dan had guessed they were all female, stuttered to find the right words.

"It is called a car, and I can tell that you all are not from this world, hi I'm Dan, and welcome to the human world," Dan said. He could sense them all relax at his feigned kindness. In reality, Dan was furious, so much, that his rage had broken, he had come full circle, and his senses were heightened. He could tell that they were no ordinary ponies, he saw that some were unicorns, pegasi, and the tallest were a combination of all three.

Even though he tried to remain calm, he felt his rage boiling over, and very soon he would explode in the way that only he could. "Excuse me, I have to go into my house to get something, but before I do, where is it you all come from?" he asked as gently as currently possible.

A bouncing, yes bouncing, pink pony came up to him and said, "Why we're from the magical land of Equestria!"

"Equestria huh, well thank you," Dan said as he entered his apartment. Once the door was closed, Dan let loose his rage, shaking his fist at the ceiling of the room. He then felt it come, the rage he felt whenever he had been wronged only stronger this time. Normally, he would just find some way to hurt them all in a significant way, that is how he usually operated. But not this time, this time he would not just hurt them, he would break them, destroy them, he would kill them. And not just them, he would destroy their world, and everypony on it, no one would be spared. He looked to the sky, eyes closed, took a breath, and shouted the name of his intended killing fields.

It was at this moment in time that the nine ponies sitting there, noticed a beam of light arch down from the sky over Dan's, apartment he had called it. The beam hit Dan just when he had said one word, the word that would seal Equestia's fate for all eternity:

EQUESTRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

After the initial reaction to the ponies trashing his car, Dan took them all to meet Chris and Elise. Dan found out that Chris was a huge brony, *And a good source of info* Dan thought in the back of his head. After the ponies introduced themselves and took a small tour of the human world, they opened the portal they'd come in and disappeared through it. As soon as they were gone, Dan put his plan into action. He called Chris, but Chris didn't pick up his phone, much to Dan's irritation. His rant sounded something like, "YOU MOTHERFUCKER! DON'T YOU DARE NOT ANSWER THE PHONE TO TALK TO ME! DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S IT! WE ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS! IF YOU EVEN COME CLOSE TO MY HOME, I WILL TAKE YOUR EYES OUT, FORCE YOU TO EAT THEM, SHIT THEM OUT, THEM FORCE YOU TO EAT THEM AGAIN, UNTIL YOU DIE! Call me back, this is Dan." Used to this type of reaction, Chris eagerly went straight to Dan's house. Dan told Chris that he was interested in becoming a brony, so he asked Chris to give him as much information as possible. Chris obliged, telling him Equestria's strengths, weaknesses, secrets, pretty much everything. Of course, Dan actually planned to use this to his advantage in his quest for revenge, but he couldn't tell Chris. Then Chris would tell Elise, and they would both try to stop him. So instead he lied to Chris, went to the latter's house, and had a major stroke of luck.

Ever since the ponies had come to their dimension, Elise's employers had tasked her with building an inter-dimensional portal, so they could return there. Dan happened to find the finished prototype, un-guarded, and in working order. So Dan dragged it back home, activated it(by a simple button press), and went to Equestria.

When he got there the flood of colors almost made him puke. All of the greens, blues, reds, rainbows. And the pinks, oh God the pinks! He would've gone insane if not for his drive for revenge. He put his first plan in to motion. Plan F(aka plan fire), saw him light fires in strategic spots in Equestria. Dan had drawn a rough map based on what Chris had told him, and had no problems setting the fires. However, two wrenches were thrown in his plan. One: the ponies could use magic to put out the fires. And Two: he snagged a piece of his "Jerk" shirt on a tree branch as he was fleeing one of the scenes. Thus causing Equestria to be on high alert for a human wearing a black shirt.

So he switched to his backup plan, Plan X(plan explosions). However, once again he was foiled by two things. One: anything he blew up the ponies would fix(they have magic, I don't explain this shit), and two: he got caught. During one of the explosions, his leg got caught under some falling rubble, the guards found him, and after they realized that the fabric they had, was a piece from Dan's shirt. He was taken in front of the three major princesses in Equestria.

Princess Celestia asked Dan,"Dan, I remember you as a kind hearted soul. You were the first human we met and the first to show us kindness. Why would you do this?"

Dan smiled and said, "In all seriousness, 'your majesties' it was all a clever ruse. You were the reason my car was destroyed, and I will not stop until I kill every...single...last...pony...in...Equestria. This is not about a mistake you can fix," he said, beginning to raise his voice so he could be heard by everyone in Canterlot, and Ponyville,"This is about revenge. This is about evening a score. This is about me unleashing my rage on all of Equestria! Nothing you do will stop me! I will keep coming back, until I destroy all of Equestria!" Dan exclaimed rattling the very foundation of Canterlot.

Princess Celestia had seen a lot of ponies in her days as ruler, both in war, and in peace. And even though she had only really known Chris and Elise in her short time in the human world, but she could sense that their hearts were pure. When she had first sensed Dan's heart, it seemed pure as well, however, she figured some kind of magic must have masked his true intentions from her. Because, now when she looked at Dan's heart, she saw nothing, but darkness. A darkness so deep, that she felt Disord, Nightmare Moon, and the Changeling Queen, were mere ants to him. She knew that this darkness could, no would, swallow up Equestria if she let it.

"Dan, I'm afraid I must do this to stop you," the princess said as her horn started to gain a golden aura around it. The aura grew, until it shot forth from her horn right at Dan, turning him to stone where he stood.

"Take him to the...WHAT!?" Celestia said, completely confused. No sooner had she turned Dan to stone, than the stone began to glow and crack in places. Soon, Dan burst from the stone, cement falling everywhere around him.

He stood up straight, and laughed in Celestia's face, "AHAHAHAHAH! YOU CAN'T STOP ME! NOT EVEN YOUR MAGIC CAN STOP ME!"

"That may be true Dan, but I'm afraid we must be going," a new voice said from nowhere. Everyone in the throne room looked around, but no one was there. Then, in a flash of black light, Dan vanished from the throne room, stunning everyone.

Dan felt nothing at first, just a hand on his shoulder, then he felt the ground, rapidly approaching his body. Before he hit the ground with the feeling he was just kidnapped by someone. "Oh just get up Dan, I didn't save you so you could lie on your ass all day long," the same voice Dan heard back in the throne room. Dan sat up, turned around, and saw a figure with a black cloak billowing around him.

"Who are you?" Dan asked a bit on edge.

He wasn't sure, but he thought the man smiled, "My name is Zaniphar, but you can call me master."
