Twilight laughed. He walked right into that. She thought with a laugh. Twilight Shade was looking was looking at Sombra’s corpse, it was still had all of the dark magic that it’s owner had. It didn’t seem possible. Dark Magic used emotion, there was no emotion once you're dead. It must be in his crown, Twilight thought as she lifted it off his head. A dark hum filled the air as the crown started become solid black. Twilight looked at it with a mix of confusion and fascination, To think that an idiot like Sombra had the power to cast such powerful enchantments, she thought as the crown began to change shape.
The queen of darkness screamed as the crown, now taking the shape of a snake, attached itself to her. It felt like her entire body was on fire. Her entire body began to convulse with the amount of foreign magic entering her system. The snake moved to her neck, starting to choke her. Draining her life.
Except it wasn’t. She wasn’t dying. In fact, the hard the snake squeezed, the more alive she felt. When it should have been killing her, it was instead filling her with more power than any sane pony would deem safe. Luckily for Twilight, she wasn’t sane.
Twilight took a deep breath and summoned a mirror to find out what happened. She was amazed. Her body was so much stronger than before that is was almost intoxicating. Her wings were now dragon like, the scales glowing a dark green. Where there used to be crystals, there were now scales. Forming in a random pattern that gave her that appearance of a hybrid between the two races. Her armor was intact, but her shoes were a different matter. Scales now formed a shoe instead of a black metal. her hooves in the shape of a shoe, glistening black. Her tail was no longer made of fire, instead, it was the tail of a bat that layed on her back. With small cracks letting green lava leak out from time to time.
Twilight was amazed, why would Sombra leave a spell to activate only after he died. Then it all made sense, Sombra didn’t care about his own life. He cared about dark magic continuing. So he made a spell that would infect the nearest person with dark magic, but because she already had dark magic, it just made it stronger. Well then, time to see if dark magic is as strong as he said it was, let’s see if it works, on the princess of the night. Twilight thought as she went to sleep. A smile on her face.
Princess Luna was enjoying her night. She always enjoyed looking up at the stars, remembering when and where she made them, but alas, this could not last forever. After all, she had to watch over everypony’s dreams. Luna sat down and began to cast her spell. She smiled as the castle of dreams formed around her. It’s walls were different every time. This time they resembled Twilight’s castle. It’s crystals lining the walls. Luna looked through the different hall ways. Overseeing their dreams.
That was, until she saw Twilight’s it was of Sombra. Luna gasped as she jetted towards it, trying to save her from the mind games that Sombra was going to use. Only as she entered the dream did she finally realize that these were memories, not dreams.
“Thankyou for joining me, Luna,” Twilight said as walked over to the night princess. “I think you know what I want.”
“Yes,” She said as she closed her eyes. When she reopened them, they were glowing. "You want Equestria. Like every self important, dark, and downright evil piece of nothingness before you. I had respect for Twilight, now it is gone,” she boomed out in the royal canterlot voice. Hate burning in her eyes.
“While you may be right, that is not why I called you here. I invited you here so that you could join me, not to oppress ponykind, no, I want to save them from all that would harm them, the changelings being the primary thing that comes to mind,” Twilight said in a calm voice, a least one of them had to stay calm, or they would start fighting.
“Fair enough,” Luna said in a calmer voice. “But the ends do not justify the means, I could end hate be killing everyone.”
“Do you propose a different method, yours didn’t work, I would know,” Twilight said as she walked to the other side of Luna.
“No I don’t,” Luna said with a cautious tone. She wasn’t quite sure what she was up to.
“And you agree that helping pony kind is a worthy goal,” Luna nodded. “Then it makes sense to help me.” Luna kinda just sat there, not exactly in a daze, but definitely not in reality. After a long moment, she shook her head.
“What would you have me do?” Luna asked with a skeptical gaze.
“Become subservient to me, use dark magic, and help in battle,” Twilight said, hoping her logic would get though to Luna.
Luna was in deep thought. Twilight could tell be how, no matter what she did, Luna did not move. The queen of darkness was slightly amused to see Luna consider her points. She still has some dark magic in her Twilight noted as she activated her horn, focusing on that tiny scrap of darkness.
As Twilight casted her magic. The dark magic in Luna started to grow. It was clear that Luna thought that she was right, so this was going to happen anyway. As the darkness grew, black lightning started to flicker around her. Her coat darkened, becoming black. Blood red crystals crawled up her legs. Forming armor. The lightning around her was violent now, striking the ground. Her teeth sharpened Her flowing mane and tail stained red with the stars being pure black. Luna’s eyes were completely different, they became cat like slits. Her iris’ were red with trails of black flowing out of her eyes. Her crown fell on to the ground and broke. Signaling the end of the transformation of Twilight’s first servant.
“You now serve me now, slave,” Twilight said as she walked over to former princess. She bowed.
“Of course,” she responded. Receiving a twisted smile from her queen.

One out of five.
Luna felt great. Her entire body was different. It was stronger and more durable. It was dark in nature, but her thoughts were still her thoughts. They were not being controlled. She had a new alliance because it made sense. Following Twilight, or rather, Queen Twilight would be the best way to secure safety for her ponies. Even if it was, messy.
“Luna, how do you feel?” Twilight asked with a happy smile. If not for the complete change in her body, it would be hard to tell this Twilight from the Twilight that nearly had a panic attack over a tardy report.
“Fine, different, but fine,” Luna replied as she examined her new body.
“Good,” Twilight said in response. They were silent for a while, just sitting in the darkness. The same darkness that was going to save Equestria. Until Twilight finally spoke up once more. “Once Celestia finds out what happens, she is either going to break down into tears or try and kill me, and you, possibly. If she does the later, just hold her off until I can get my crystals around her.”
“What ever you need my queen,” she said as she stood up.
“You don’t have to call me queen, you are a princess, you call me by first name, same with Celestia,” Twilight said as she also stood up.
“Okay then, Twilight,” she said as she stretched. “My sister is coming, we should probably run,” Luna said as she tried not to panic as pointed out the sun that was not there five seconds ago.
“Hold her off,” Twilight said as she turned into a mass of shadow. Darting in the opposite direction of the sun that was now shooting bursts of light at them.
“I’ll try,” Luna said as she shot magic attacks of her own.
Once Celestia touched the ground, crystals grabbed her legs. Making moving Impossible. She flared her horn, teleporting close to Luna and punching her in the nose, making it bleed. In response, A series of cry crystals shot straight in Celestia. Making her stagger back from the pain. Then Luna activated a spell and disabled her magic. Twilight teleported right behind Celestia and knocked her out.
“You know, out of the two of you, I would have thought that you would be the one to act with violence,” Twilight said as she examined the unconscious form of Celestia.
“I probably would have done the same if my sister was taken from me,” Luna said as she took the crystals out of her sister.
“Fair enough,” Twilight said as she restrained Celestia.
“So, what do we do now?” Luna asked.
“Simple, we have to make her give in to the darkness willingly, or else she will lose all sense of awareness. To accomplish that, you are going to appear in her dream and, given that ponies in dreams tend to do anything, convince her to give into the darkness,” Twilight explained.
“It’s worth a try. Will that submission transfer over to the real world?” Luna asked, confused.
“It did with you,” Twilight said back. “Now hurry, before she wakes up again.”
“Okay then,” Luna said as she flared up the spell, her body collapsing.
Celestia awoke with a gasp. She was back in the castle of the two sisters. Everything seemed to be in order, so she started to walk down it’s decaying halls.
“Wonderful night, isn’t it?” Luna asked, appearing right next to her. The logic part of the brain isn’t very active when somepony is sleeping, so this should be easy. Luna thought with a smile. \
“Yes, it is,” Celestia said in response. She didn’t even flinch when dark crystals started to move up her body.
“Isn’t dark magic the best,” Luna said, really hoping that would be enough. Much to her delight, Celestia said:
“Sure, I guess,” Celestia shrugged.
“Would you mind if I converted your body to darkness?” Luna asked, amazed at just how easy that was.
“Go right ahead,” Celestia said, having no idea just how substantial that was. Luna grinned. Activating her horn. Giving the message to Twilight to corrupt her sister. The dream faded away, leaving the black, empty void, around them.
“So, the process can begin?” Twilight asked, moving over to Luna, who was still a little out of it, due to just being in a dream.
“I think so, yes,” Luna said, standing back up. Twilight grinned as her horn came to life. Glowing a dark red.
“Then stand back, this can get messy,” Twilight said before she was completely encased in her magic aura. Along with Celestia.
Twilight watched as Celestia’s coat turned a lime green. Her mane changing shape entirely, now acting like a very thick, purple liquid. Everything was going fine. Until a white light came from within Celestia. Starting to remove the darkness. Twilight’s expression hardened. She was not going to lose. Black flame started to flare around to two individuals. Celestia’s wings ignited with a mix of white and black flame.
At first Twilight didn’t know what to do, her magic and the light of the sun were completely equal. Then a brilliant idea struck her. She now focused her energy to killing Celestia. Come on, take the bait! Twilight silently hoped. As if to answer her prayer. The massive light started to die down. Having to split between keeping her alive and not letting her be eaten by the darkness.
With that, Twilight activated another spell. One that would use the pain of locking one’s sister up on the moon. With this extra boost, the darkness won out. Her wings became solid black and made of fire. Her eyes became nothing but black. The crown she was wearing shattered into pieces. Along with the light of the sun.
As the massive arua died down. Twilight and Celestia both fell to the floor.
“Are you okay?” Luna said as she rushed over to the two.
“Yes, I’m fine,” they both said in unison.
“Are you sure, my teacher?” Twilight asked as she stood up. “Your now a being of darkness.”
“Yes, I’m fine,” Celestia’s eyes gained a green orb. “My queen.”
