The Artifacts are actually powerful enough to destroy the Elements, but he was defeated by Celestia and Luna before he was even able to use them. He is then sealed millions of feet under The Hall Of The Royal Sisters. Feeling powerless, Tirek decides to divide his soul in six parts with the power of The Artifacts and spread to find hosts in order to ressurrect him. Many years pass and the final host is yet to be found, but the 5 other hosts mobilize their plan to destroy The Elements in time for the resurrection.

Part 1: The Signs

Fall Of Equestria

Part 1: The Signs

1000 Years Ago: Once upon a time a time in the magical land of Equestria, two regal sisters ruled. One with the responsibility to lift the Sun in daylight and the other lifted the moon during the night, they ruled peacefully together until one day… they received a threat from a powerful enemy, an evil known as… Tirek, who wanted to destroy Equestria and all of pony kind. To do this, Tirek used his powers of darkness and summoned creatures created from the negative energy of ponies and all of the other creatures. After that, he decided to also create his own version of the powerful Elements Of Harmony and with this, he created… The Artifacts Of Hatred, items that can destroy the power of the actual elements. A great battle ensued to protect the kingdom, with the sisters fighting against the embodiment of all darkness and hatred. Sparks flied around the battlefield with the battle being even so far, the battle was so intense that it fractured the hall of the two royal sisters. After much struggling, Tirek finally had a chance to use his dreaded new power when he succeeds in charging the power of the Artifacts, Celestia and Luna used The Elements of Harmony as well. Fortunately, the great display of power distracted Tirek and the sisters were able to seal him, millions of feet under the Hall Of The Elements… But what the sisters didn’t know is that with no way out Tirek instead spread fragments of his soul around all of Equestria using the Artifacts, when the 6 fragments find hosts, he will rise again to finish what he started… and the day is getting closer and closer… the hosts have ranged from different eras in time and because of Tirek’s power they all gained unnatural long lives and the search for the last host will be over soon.

Present Day: It is a beautiful morning in Ponyville home of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Twilight Sparkle has pretty much caught on with her studies and she decides to take a day off with her friends.

Twilight: “Spike, do you have everything ready for our day off?”

Spike: “Yes, all set Twi, uh… where are we going today?”

Twilight: “Probably to Sugarcube Corner, I heard Pinkie’s hosting a party today… apparently, I haven’t gone out all day I’ve been overworked with all these books that the princess assigned me to read”

Spike: “Strange how she overworked you so much this week…”

Twilight: “And the books were about a much deeper history of The Elements Of Harmony, about how Starswirl The Bearded was involved in their creation and…”

Spike: “And?”

Twilight: “Well that’s pretty much it, the book was very extensive but it had a few pages missing since it was so old… Either the pages were stolen or the book’s author didn’t want the reader’s to know something, the author even erased most of his name, the only thing left are two letters E and A, and I’ve never heard of an author with those initials or their names starting and ending with those letters… E and A? Hmm…”

While Twilight was walking to Pinkie’s house and explaining the mystery to Spike, she comes across three little fillies and she trips with a rope.

Twilight: “Whoa!”

Scootaloo: “Whoops, sorry Twilight”

Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle proceed to lift Twilight.

Twilight: “Ugh, you girls gotta be more careful with that thing… What were you trying to do anyway?

Applebloom: “Cutie Mark Crusaders Jump Rope!”

Twilight Sparkle looks at them with a concerned face.

Twilight: “My Little Ponies, it’s hard for me to break it to you but… why don’t you wait for the right moment to get your cutie marks? I know you’re trying very hard and you want to get them as soon as possible… but you always get into all sorts of trouble because of this and me, your sisters and Cheerilee have lectured you about this many times… you’re still too young to do all these dangerous acts. But I’ll make it up to you, why don’t you come along with me to Pinkie Pie’s party there will be all sorts of games and things we’ll be able to do together.”

The Crusaders: “Pass…”

The three fillies look at Twilight with sad faces and leave. Twilight then shouts to them:

Twilight: “Girls! Wait! I... I didn’t mean for you to take it so harshly”

Sweetie Belle: “Don’t worry Twilight, we know you were telling us the truth, we’ll find something more harmless or danger-less to do, who knows maybe we’ll earn our cutie marks that way…”

The three fillies leave which straighter but still sad-looking faces. And Twilight feels guilty for what she said, but she lets them be.

Twilight: “Was I too harsh on them Spike?”

Spike: “Well I’d be bummed too if you told me something like that, but somepony had to say it sooner or later, I’m sure they’ll understand what you meant, anyway let’s get going to Pinkie’s party, we’re probably late as it is…”

Twilight and Spike enter Sugarcube Corner and they are greeted by Pinkie Pie and their friends, plus many other ponies from Ponyville

Pinkie Pie: “Howdy Twilight and Spike! Welcome to today’s party!”

Twilight: “What the occasion today Pinkie?”

Pinkie Pie: “Well there are a group of new ponies that moved here from… uh… were you from again?”

Two male colts proceed to introduce themselves; one is a Pegasus that has an orange-yellowish skin color, a spiky red mane and a cutie mark in the shape of a ton with wings. The other one is a unicorn and he has a brown skin color and a black mane with a cutie mark in the shape of a piece of metal, with a very average appearance, looking like an average horse. The Pegasus’ name is Harsh Fly and the unicorn is named Occurrence.

Harsh Fly: “My name is Harsh Fly and boy does this party blolw!”

Occurrence then proceeds to whisper to Harsh.

Occurrence: “Don’t be so harsh on them, don’t you want good recognition?”

Harsh Fly: “Fine! Jeez you’re so annoying with your stupid attitude…”

Occurrence: “(Clears Throat) allow me to introduce ourselves, my name is Occurrence and this is my friend and companion Harsh Fly.”

Harsh Fly: “Hi mares…”

The group welcomes the new citizens and the party proceeds… Then Twilight reencounters herself with a familiar face.

???- “Hello again Twilight Sparkle”

Twilight then turns around to see Trixie, who had run away after Twilight defeated the Ursa Minor.

Trixie: “Yes, Twilight it’s me, after that extremely embarrassing moment with the Ursa Minor, I decided to leave and improve my magic, I think I’ve gotten closer to surpassing your magic.”

Twilight: “Oh well that’s pretty good for you Trixie, just don’t go showing off like you did last time… By the way… what are you doing here?”

Trixie: “Oh, I apologized to your friends a few hours before the party about being such a boaster, they accepted it and now here I am again Ha Ha! Oh Rarity love that necklace, Go Applejack Go! Eat those apples! You’re looking lovely today Fluttershy…

Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack: “Thanks Trixie!”

Applejack: “She sure has gotten nicer since that incident.”

Rarity: “I’m glad she finally learned her lesson, it’s done a lot of good for her”

Fluttershy: “Oh, I just hope Twilight gets along with her too”

Trixie smirks at Twilight, and Twilight proceeds to analyze the situation and notices that Trixie isn’t faking her nicer attitude towards others, but she stills wants to out best her.

Trixie: “We’ll settle this later Twilight Sparkle; just you wait… but for now enjoy the party with me and your friends Alright?”

Twilight looks at her strangely and proceeds to believe her nicer attitude and enjoy the party. Twilight then walks up to Pinkie Pie who is dancing with a group including: Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon and Carrot Top.

Twilight: “Hey Pinkie Pie”

Pinkie Pie: “(Shouting) Hey Colgate! You take the dance I have to talk to Twilight!!!!”

Twilight: “Say Pinkie, Where’s Rainbow Dash?”

Pinkie Pie: “Well, she said she was going to get here later, she’s actually having security duties (Ha Ha Duty) in Cloudsdale since a security guard was feeling sick but she said she’ll be here soon.”

Meanwhile in Cloudsdale… Rainbow Dash was patrolling in the sky when she sees a pony speeding in the Cloud City and Rainbow Dash proceeds to chase him. He is a Pegasus with a Dark Blue skin color and a Black and Blue mane, his cutie mark is a Black and Blue cloud explosion, he is also wearing a jacket and sunglasses.

Rainbow Dash: “Hey Stop there, you’re speeding!”

The Pegasus makes fun of Rainbow Dash and the chase gets faster and faster and more intense each passing moment they go down and leave Cloudsdale landing in Ponyville. Berry Punch is seen drinking a mug filled with cider but Rainbow Dash’s chase knocks out it over with Berry making an astounded face. The chase continues were we see the Crusaders being made fun off by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, but the wind blows Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon’s manes, Rainbow Dash then knocks over a lantern and falls to the lake losing speed… when she gets up to fly again, she intensifies her speed and she accidently clashes with Derpy Hooves who was smelling a flower but Rainbow proceeds to grab her in order to prevent a loss in speed and Derpy asks:

Derpy: “What Are You Doin’ Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow Dash: “Not now Derpy I’m in the middle of something important I just grabbed you just so you don’t get hurt, now I’m gonna drop you off and…”

Rainbow Dash notices that Derpy climbed to her back like if it was a horse ride…

Derpy: “Whee!!!!”

Rainbow Dash: “Ugh! Derpy, you’re distracting me and slowing me down!”

Derpy then looks at Rainbow Dash and this prevents Rainbow Dash from seeing what she’s doing.

Derpy: “Did you say something Rainbow Dash?!”

Rainbow Dash: “Watch Out!”

The Pegasus crash into Town Hall by going through it and Rainbow Dash catches up to the Black and Blue Pegasus, he notices Rainbow Dash catching up to him so he speeds up and leaves a cloud of Black and Blue smoke making him faster and harder to recognize Rainbow Dash and Derpy then crash once again landing in Town Hall fortunately... but with the mysterious Pegasus gone Rainbow Dash shouts in frustration…

Rainbow Dash: “Gah! He Got Away! He even distracted me by going through so many obstacles… I destroyed Town Hall again… and I almost got Derpy and me killed!…”

Derpy: “Muffin?”

The Mayor then proceeds and sees the disaster

Mayor Mare: “Rainbow Dash! What is the meaning of this? Do you know how much it’ll cost again to rebuild Town Hall?!”

Rainbow Dash: “I… I… It wasn’t entirely my fault, there was this guy, and he flew real fast and he distracted and put a lot of things in my way and then I grabbed Derpy to save her from all the mayhem and… I failed… He got away… He’s much faster than me… I’m sorry that I messed everything up… I’ll be going now…”

Everypony at the party goes outside and sees the commotion… Twilight and her friends rush to see Rainbow Dash about to leave.

Applejack: “Rainbow Dash, wait!”

Rainbow Dash then turns around and flies down

Rarity: “What Happened darling?”

Rainbow Dash then proceeds to explain the situation.

Rainbow Dash: “And that’s what happened…”

Twilight: “Well we won’t solve anything just by staying here and let that criminal get his way…”

Occurrence and Harsh: “Wait! We’ll go get him!”

Fluttershy: “You? But excuse me, but you may not able to do it… I mean if Rainbow Dash couldn’t do it (I’m Sorry) it would be really hard for you if you tried… sorry”

Harsh: “Eh, quit your shyness I think we know that jerk that terrorized this dump…”

Pinkie Pie: “You Do? Then who is it?”

Occurrence: “His name is Raindoom Bash and he’s a deceiver, he constantly betrays us and does whatever he wants, we are his friends after all… if you excuse us we’ll go out and look for him, you ponies stay right where you are.”

Rarity: “Well… okay be careful”

Pinkie Pie: “Don’t forget to write!”

Occurrence: “Um… Sure”

Harsh: “Yeah, Yeah whatever… (Ya dumb, annoying mare)”

The two colts leave to look for their treacherous friends as The Mane Six stay… worried about the strange happenings in Ponyville. As Occurrence and Harsh Fly enter the Everfree Forest they come across a Rocky wall and Occurrence proceeds to touch six stones in a sequence and an entrance is revealed, they keep walking down various stairs until they reach a sort hallway reminiscent to that of a temple, the two arrive at the end of a hall where drawings of Celestia and Luna battling Tirek , The Elements Of Harmony beside The Artifacts Of Hatred and off six black and red flames forming a hexagon, a shrouded figure is seen reading books and reveals himself to the two colts, he is a unicorn with a very dark skin color, a red and purple mane, and a cutie mark that seems to look like a dark glow… he then finishes reading his book…

???: “So how did it go? Did you get to find who the wielders of The Elements of Harmony were?”

Occurrence and Harsh bowing down: “Yes Eternal Abyss”

Eternal Abyss: “Hm, did you get any pictures of them?”

Occurrence shows Eternal Abyss pictures that Pinkie Pie had in her room showing The Mane Six in Ponyville after the defeat of Nightmare Moon, another of them in Canterlot Castle after Discord’s defeat and lastly a picture of The Royal Wedding of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor after the defeat of Queen Chrystalis and her Changeling army... while Eternal Abyss, looks at the pictures, Occurrence explains how he got them…

Occurrence: “It was easy; I used my Temporary-Life spell and unleashed my small Puppet-Machines to grab them with the spell I gave them the goal to search for pictures after defeats of Nightmare Moon, Discord and The Changeling Queen since they were all related with the use of The Elements Of Harmony in some way… we just needed a picture of six ponies in those exact same events… and we did…

Eternal Abyss: “Hm, so that is how they look like? Did you get to know them?

Occurrence and Harsh proceed to explain their personalities and how they are…

Eternal Abyss: “This was useful; after all we just heard rumors of where they live and their actions, now if we could somehow lure them here now that they know you well… we might just be able to capture them in time for Master Tirek’s resurrection”

Harsh Fly: “Oh yeah, and that no good loser of Raindoom caused a riot in Ponyville, when he supposed to try and make friends with those airheads!”

Raindoom Bash in the other side of the hall: “Hey! I needed to have some fun in that stupid place, I was at least able to distract them and prove if they were strong enough.”

Eternal Abyss: “You betrayed and disobeyed my orders once again Raindoom Bash, but again I will let it slide since you are the artifact of deceit after all…”

Harsh Fly: “Oh yeah that reminds me, that snooty Occurrence could’ve nabbed those ponies back in Ponyville and he let them go… he was such an idiot…”

Occurrence: “Well, I thought if we may have done it too soon they wouldn’t have trusted us so quickly… Besides, Eternal Abyss came up with the idea of luring them just now…”

Eternal Abyss: “Stop arguing, you did what you could and you worked quite nicely despite not getting along at all… you established a reputation in Ponyville and you will gain their trust soon enough… but Raindoom cannot go back to Ponyville after what he did… It is all finally pilling up together all we need is the final sign of the sixth host… Master Tirek will soon be able to finish his revenge!”

Back in Ponyville, The Cutie Mark Crusaders are still sad about Twilight said to them as they walk back to their tree house…

Sweetie Belle: “Maybe Twilight’s right, maybe we just go too far and don’t wait for things to happen like they should”

Scootaloo: “Yeah, maybe we should stop being the Cutie Mark

Crusaders and live our lives normally, but hey we could still be friends and hang out like always”

Applebloom: “It just won’t be the same if we’re not the Crusaders, we need to mature up and try to look out for ourselves from now on, just so we stop annoying our friends and family, besides they do a lot of things for us anyway…”

Sweetie Belle: “You’re right Applebloom! We need to stand up for ourselves and protect… ourselves…!”

Scootaloo: “Sounds like a great idea, we’ll do our best!”

Applebloom: “Let’s say Cutie Mark Crusader Grown-Ups?”

The Cutie Mark Crusaders: “Cutie Mark Crusader Grown-Ups!”

???: “He, he, he so you three fillies wanna go around helpin’ dem other ponies (spit). I know of a place where you can actually go around and help others… but you just gotta follow me…

Applebloom: “Who Are You?”

The mysterious figure reveals itself as yet another colt with an orange skin color and a brown mane, he is wearing a checkered shirt and his cutie mark is that of an orange with a dollar symbol on it…

???: “Name’s Orange Mack, lil’ fillies… I come from a super-secret club that teaches other ponies how to become mature and responsible heroes, just like you fillies… Lemme just git that card…”

Orange Mack then proceeds to search on his many cards, the Crusaders are unaware that his cards are all blank pieces of paper, he then drops one and proceeds to grab behind a tree drawing on the empty “card” and writing on it about a Super-Secret hero club…

Orange Mack: “Ah here it is, Ya see?”

Applebloom grabs the card and proceeds to read it…

Applebloom reading: “Orange Mack’s Super-Secret Hero Club, turning fillies into noble, heroic, mature and responsible mares…”

Scootaloo: “Perfect We’ll Go!”

Applebloom: “I’m in too!”

Sweetie Belle: “Sure I guess…”

Orange Mack: “Perfect follow me… I know a shortcut!”

The three fillies follow the strange colt around the woods around Ponyville but not passing through the actual village apparently avoiding to be seen…

Orange Mack thinking: “He, he, he Eternal’s gonna be so happy when he sees that I found some fillies for Tirek’s army…”

Meanwhile in the Royal City of Canterlot… two Earth Ponies walk around the city and argue… One is a female mare and the other is a colt with red skin and a black mane, his cutie mark is a birthday cake with a fuse…

???: Come on Arica, I was just joking ha, ha, ha, lighten up!”

Arica: “Oh Boom Cakes you’re so annoying with your dumb pranks, you always do them in the worst moments possible, you know I was just filled up with work as it is and you come and blow up one of your stupid little dynamites and startle me making me lose concentration and ruining all the paperwork… Thanks a lot…”

Boom Cakes: “But I’m…”

Arica: “No, Back Off! I don’t want to see you again! This friendship is over!”

Boom Cakes walks by himself saddened by the loss of his best friend when a sort of red and black fume consumes him… Boom proceeds to smell it and then he gets a maniacal look on his face and starts laughing… he lights up a dynamite and blows up a pole knocking over most of the poles in Canterlot causing a commotion and chaos this grabs the attention of Shining Armor…

Shining Armor: “Guards go see what happened!”

Cadence: “What seems to be the problem dear?”

Shining Armor: “Apparently part of the city was blown up… infact I’ll go check it out myself too”

Cadence: “Right, you do that while I go tell Princess Celestia what happened… Oh and… Be careful…”

Shining Armor: “I will”

The two proceed to kiss as they part their ways, Shining Armor sees that the guards are having a hard time trying to capture Boom as he keeps throwing explosives after explosives distracting the guards… Shining Armor then recognizes that it’s actually Boom who’s causing the explosions…

Shining Armor: “Boom?! What do you think you’re doing?!”

Boom Cakes: “It’s not Boom anymore… It’s Darkie Now! (Laughs Maniacally)”

Meanwhile In the mysterious cave Eternal Abyss feels the events back in Canterlot...

Eternal Abyss: “This Is It! The Final Host Is Here! Tirek will soon return! And Equestria Shall Fall!”
