Chapters To change the future of Equestria
Chapter 1 - The hooded pony
Celestia was sitting on her throne, accepting the papers that she was given. It was long day and it felt like it was just going to get longer. Tirek had just been defeated and the kingdom was not in the best of shape. She kept approving document after document to rebuild all that destroyed and put the kingdoms back together. It just seemed to go on and on as if there was a giant mountain of papers or maybe a sea of flooding papers. She just kept approving and approving more and more things. Then, out of nowhere, a shining light and suddenly a hooded pony appeared in the throne room. Celestia then looked at the hooded pony and then spoke up.
“Who are you? Why did you teleport to my throne room?”
Her guard stallions immediately surrounded the hooded pony. The hooded pony then talked in a rough and strong voice.
“Seems I made it, thank goodness. It's good to see you again Princess Celestia.”
Celestia, still confused then asked, “Who are you?”
The hooded pony took her hood off and then Celestia gasped.
“That's impossible. Who are you?” asked Celestia.
“I'll explain once you take me to the elements of harmony. We must hurry, or else Equestria will be destroyed.”
“Why? How? How will Equestria be destroyed?”
“By a unicorn called Dark Eater, who wields the Gem of Keys.”
“No......no, that's impossible, that gem has been lost for moons upon moons ago.”
“Well, it has returned and..... its going... to...” the hooded said and then fainted in front of Celestia.
Celestia then glared at her guards and then commanded, “Get my carriage ready, and prepare to bring her with me and you.” Celestia pointed at a guard, “Go get my sister and tell her to go to Ponyville as soon as possible. Messenger! Send word to the Crystal Empire, tell them we believe a threat may be coming to Equestria.”
The guards scrambled and immediately got ready for the Princess.
Some time later....
Twilight and the other Mane Six were at Twilight's new castle, cleaning the castle thoroughly. Then Celestia's carriage arrived at the castle. Twilight quickly informed everyone and they all went outside.
“Princess Celestia, what are you doing here?” asked Twilight.
“I'm sorry Twilight but a new threat may be coming to Equestria and I need your help.”
“Are you serious?” yelled Rainbow Dash, “We just beat Tirek a few days ago!”
“What may be coming Rainbow Dash is something even worse than Tirek.”
“Oh dear, something even worse than Tirek?” exclaimed Rarity.
“Yes but you need to see this first.” Celestia said and then presented the fainted hooded pony she brought with her. The Mane Six immediately gasped as soon as they saw her face.
“Huh?” said Rainbow Dash.
“What in tarnation?” exclaimed AppleJack.
“This makes no sense.” said Twilight.
“How is this possible?” asked Rarity.
“Wow” slowly said Pinkie Pie.
“Is.....is that me?” said Fluttershy.
“Yes, I checked her and well she is you, but older, um, Fluttershy.” said Celestia.
“Older?” said Fluttershy.
“That's impossible, time spells only last a few minutes, are you saying she's been here for several hours?!” asked Twilight.
“Yes, she has, I think she's here permanently Twilight.”
“Yeah that's right” said the hooded pony.
Everyone immediately looked at her at once as the future Fluttershy looked at them with angry, violent eyes. “I still can't believe it, it really did work. You guys are all here,” then future Fluttershy began to start crying. Tears fell from her eyes and she put her hoof by her eye. The Mane Six saw her body and they all gasped at it. It was filled with bruises and scars all over. But then they saw the unthinkable on her. She had no cutie mark, as if it had been erased.
“Wow, I haven't cried in years. I didn't think I was this weak.” she said slowly.
“Why are you here?” demanded Celestia.
“Five years from now, Equestria will be destroyed, and how it starts happens right now.” said the future Fluttershy. “I'm here to try and stop that.”
“Destroyed? How?” asked Twilight.
“A unicorn named Dark Eater is about to attack the Tree of Harmony and that will mark the end of Equestria.”
"How could someone know about the tree?" asked Twilight.
“Dark Eater? Never heard of him.” said Rainbow Dash sarcastically.
“He's already here, and he's coming after the Tree of Harmony. How he knows about it, we never found out. All we knew was that Dark Eater will come to this world and when he does, he successfully destroys the Tree of Harmony”
"Impossible!" exclaimed Celestia, "Is the Gem of Keys that powerful?! I know it always dangerous but is it that powerful?"
“Yeah, and that's exactly why I'm here to kill him before he gets to the tree.” said the Future Fluttershy menacing.
“Kill him?!” exclaimed the Present Fluttershy.
Meanwhile at the Crystal Empire....
The mirror to Equestria High stood alone in a room. The crystal guards were outside, bored. Then, without them noticing the mirror turned red and then suddenly magic came out of the mirror and immediately knocked out the guards. Then two hooded unicorns came out of the mirror.
“There we go, so that's how unicorn magic works... I like it!” said one unicorn. “Now, my little puppet, my little Sunset Shimmer, where are we?”
Then the unicorn looked at Sunset Shimmer, her eyes were dead looking as if there was no mind inside her brains, no thoughts, nothing. Her mouth then opened, “We are in the castle of the Crystal Empire.”
“Let me guess, that's a bit far from the Tree isn't it?”
“Yes”
“Oh well, I've got plenty of time, after all I have the Gem of Keys and as long as I have that, nothing can beat me. Let's go my puppet.”
“Yes Master.”

Chapter 2 - To save the Tree of Harmony
“What do you mean you're gonna kill him?!” yelled Rainbow Dash while they began to go into the Everfree Forest.
“This is, you can't be, darling, you can't be our Fluttershy.” exclaimed Rarity.
“She's being honest.” said AppleJack sternly. “I can tell.”
“But, but...” stuttered Rainbow Dash till the Future Fluttershy interrupted her.
“It's okay AppleJack, except for my name, I'm not really Fluttershy anymore anyways.”
“Why? What happened to you, er, me?” questioned Present Fluttershy.
“Well, Dark Eater successfully obtained the full power of the Tree of Harmony and the Crystal Heart of the Crystal Empire with the Gem of Keys. He then killed everyone here except me and Twilight.”
The Mane Six and Celestia all gasped at the same time. Then Future Fluttershy continued.
“The next five years were hell, granted not everyone died here immediately but over those five years, only me and Twilight were left. Twilight successfully found a new method of time travel with the help of Sunset Shimmer and Trixie Lulamoon.”
“Sunset Shimmer and Trixie helped me do this?” asked Twilight.
“Yeah, when we get to Dark Eater, Sunset Shimmer will be there with him.”
“Why, why is Sunset with her?” asked Celestia.
“He has probably already brainwashed her, Princess Celestia. We spent over two years after we saved her to put her back together.”
“So, you mean Dark Eater is from... the Equestria High world?” asked Twilight.
“Yeah.”
“But it's not another several moons before someone can go thru the mirror.”
“He found another method, he will be on his way here now.”
They then reached the Tree of Harmony but no one was there.
“Looks like we made it in time. Thank goodness.” said Future Fluttershy happily.
Meanwhile on the outskirts on the Everfree Forest...
“This must be the place.” said Dark Eater with a grin.
“Yes Master.” said Sunset in a monotone voice.
“You know, I know I hypnotized you Sunset, but you could show some more enthusiasm.”
“Sorry Master.”
“.....Ugh, Nevermind. You're no fun. Now, let's gets us some power. This is gonna fun.”
He then proceeded thru the forest and eventually got to the Tree of Harmony only to quickly stop right before getting there.
“Why are there other ponies here?” said Dark Eater silently.
“I do not know Master.” said Sunset.
“Did you warn them before I hypnotized you Sunset?” he said silently with a glare.
“No, I did not even know of your plan.”
“Oh, right, hmmmmm.... Well okay, Can you identify who's down there?”
“Yes, there are the elements of harmony down there along with Princess Celestia and a hooded pony that I do not know.”
“Celestia?! Which one is Celestia?! Wait... its that Rainbow Haired pony isn't it?!”
“Yes Master”
“That blasted hag, I can't believe it. She always tries to get in my way, no matter what alternate world it is...” said Dark Eater and then he began to sit there and think. “Now, how am I gonna win this? Maybe....No that won't work....Hmmmm......Ah that could work.”
He had Sunset take off her pack on her back and began to shuffle thru her bag, “Here we go, I'm glad I brought some gear for plan B.”
He pulled some smoke bombs out and commanded Sunset to get ready. He then threw the smoke down on the Mane Six and rushed into the Tree of Harmony. The ponies immediately started coughing and wheezing.
“What's *cough* *cough* going on?”
“He's *cough* here!”
“I *cough* can't see! *cough*”
“Sunset, put up a barrier now!”
“Yes Master.”
Dark Eater was now in front of the Tree of Harmony while a magic barrier blocked in front of the Mane Six. Then the glowing red stone on the necklace Dark Eater was wearing began to shine. “Gem of Keys! Give me the power I want!”
The gem began to shine as red energy poured out and connected to the tree. “Yes! Yes! Hahahahahahaha! Give it to me, give me everything!!!” Dark Eater said menacing with a huge grin on his face.
Then a huge fan made of magic appeared from Twilight and sent the smoke away and then they all saw what was happening. “Girls, we need to stop him now!”
Celestia, Twilight and Rarity immediately poured magic from their horns on Sunset's barrier and it began to crack. “Pour it on!”
“No! Just open a small hole!” yelled Future Fluttershy.
They quickly did and Future Fluttershy jumped thru and immediately tackled Dark Eater.
“What are you doing?!” yelled Dark Eater and then he saw what was under the hood. He then immediately shot magic at her. “How are you?” He then turn his head to the Present Fluttershy and then suddenly realized. “So that's how you knew I was coming.”
“How did you know?!” Future Fluttershy yelled.
“You being here means only one thing....heh heh heh.. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I won didn't I?!”
“No. You won't win today.” said Future Fluttershy and then pulled a small blade with gem on its handle from her hood and the blade was glowing. “This ends right now.”
“What is that?!” he yelled and then Future Fluttershy rammed into him before he could act. She then slammed the blade into the gem.
“Goodbye Monster!”
“What have you done?!” he yelled as the gem kept glowing brighter and brighter and then it exploded.
BOOM!!!!!
The explosion sent Sunset Shimmer, Dark Eater, and Future Fluttershy flying.
Present Fluttershy quickly went to her Future self and she saw the wounds the explosion gave her.
“Are you okay?!”
“No.... *cough* *cough* My time's up, I've lived to long anyways.”
“No! No! You can't die! You're me!” yelled Fluttershy while constantly crying.
“Fluttershy, it's okay *cough* *cough* just promise me something, never lose your kindness Fluttershy.” and then she died.
The Main Six all sat there crying as they all saw Future Fluttershy die. They then buried her by the Tree of Harmony and took Sunset Shimmer and Dark Eater to Canterlot as both were still unconscious and filled with bruises and wounds.
A Few days later....
In the hospital at Canterlot, Sunset Shimmer woke up and saw everyone there. “Princess Celestia?!” she said slowly.
“Yes, we are all here Sunset.”
“If I'm *cough* *cough* here then....oh no! Where is Dark Eater?!”
“He's in the dungeon here.”
“Oh no, no no no no no!!!!”
“What's wrong?! He was evil and we beat him. What's wrong?!” Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.
“Dark Eater lost.... I have to get back to Equestria High immediately!”
“Why?” everyone asked.
“Because, the one who wields the true Gem of Keys is going to destroy it!”
To change the future of Equestria
Chapter 3 - The Gem of Keys
Dark Eater woke up in cell, he quickly looked around and began processing what had happened. 'Okay, I must have lost, my gem was destroyed by a future version of Fluttershy. Hmmmm..... I think I get it now. Well, I never would have imagined there would be a weapon that could destroy the gem I made to counter the Gem of Keys. The gem I mad was a perfect replica, it just needed more power.... I guess for now, I need to find out where I am.' He then quickly realized his horn was locked, meaning he couldn't use magic and he chained up in a small dinky iron cell. He then smiled, 'This will be easier than I thought.'
Meanwhile, In a room in the Canterlot Castle, Sunset Shimmer, battered and beaten had just woken up.
“What do you mean Sunset?” asked Twilight.
“The gem Dark Eater had on him is a fake created by him to counter the real Gem of Keys.” replied Sunset Shimmer.
“And the one who has the real gem is going to attack Equestria High?”
“Yeah, there is a good chance that may happen.”
“Hold on.” said Celestia, “Sunset Shimmer, who is Dark Eater and why does he have a fake gem?”
“Princess.....before I start, can I please tell you something?”
“Of course.”
“I'm so so sorry for what I did so many years ago, I'm sorry I hurt those guards and when I came and stole the element of magic.” she said as she began crying.
“It's fine Sunset, I have already forgiven you.” she said as she nuzzled he head by the bedridden Sunset.
“I'm sorry if I attacked you all while under Dark Eater's control.” she said to the Mane Six.
“It's fine darling, please go ahead with your story.” said Rarity.
“Well, I guess I should start from the very beginning, when I first went thru the mirror. It was then I first met Dark Eater.”
“That far back?!” asked Twilight.
“Yes, he also went to Equestria High, and he knew instantly who and what I was. I remember that day like yesterday, He confronted me and told one simple thing, 'If you wish to stay in this world, if you wish to not be found out you must do two things.' and then I asked, 'Two things?', 'Yes, show how you got here and never ever go back to your world. If you ever go back to this Equestria, you may never return here. If you do, I will reveal everything to everyone here and then I will destroy you. Unlike you, I know how to access magic in this world, unlike you who has lost her horn, being turned into a human.' is what he said.”
“Wait a minute, if that is true, why did you come back and steal my crown?!” asked Twilight.
“He had left town for a week and I thought it would be my chance to finally be able to fight him back. It was the power the element of magic gave me that caused me to want more.”
“Then why were you the popular one in school? Why would he allow that?”
“He didn't care what I did as long as I didn't go back to Equestria.”
“But why?”
“He told me that if I went back and forth from Equestria it would cause the balance of both worlds to be broken. The human world must not have a source of magic. The human world would fall apart if it did.”
“Then why did he go thru the mirror? If he didn't want the balance to be broken why do something that could or make a gem that could?”
“I don't know” said Sunset weakly, “All I know is that he found out what I did and then the rest is a blank until I woke up here. That must have been when he hypnotized with his magic.”
“It seems we have no choice.” said Celestia, “We will have to talk to him directly.”
At that moment a guard came in, “Your highness, the prisoner is awake now just like you requested.”
“Excellent, Sunset will you be okay if we leave for a bit?”
“No, go ahead. I need some rest anyways.”
They all went down to the dungeon and then stood before Dark Eater's cell. He stood there with a menacing smile.
“Well, well, well, you finally came. Greetings, Elements of Harmony, its nice to finally meet your pony versions. Though I could rather not see a version of the rainbow haired piece of garbage there.”
“Hey, don't insult the princess!” yelled Rainbow Dash.
“Be quiet Loyalty, she's a piece of trash that doesn't know its trash, which means she has no true right to exist in my eyes!”
Celestia stood unflinching and asked calmly, “I'm guessing you don't like my human version of myself.”
“Shut up you piece of filth, I don't like any version of you. I don't mind the rest of you however. Though I must say, its nice to finally meet you Twilight Sparkle, element of magic. From what I've heard you are quite the smart unicorn. That and you beat Sunset Shimmer.”
“Flattery's not going to work with me Dark Eater.”
“I know, I couldn't resist though. So, dear elements of harmony and rainbow hag, what would you like to know?”
“First, why are you here?”
“I'm in this cell cuz a future version of her over there,” in which Dark Eater pointed at Fluttershy, “blew up my gem I made.”
“How did you make a Gem of Keys?”
Dark Eater looked at Celestia and then spoke up, “You don't fully know what the Gem of Keys is do you? Hahaha.... Starswirl really didn't trust you did he?”
“....Yes, I did lose his trust once but he still trusted me with many other things.”
“Stop lying to me you stinking piece of garbage, if he really trusted you he would of told you what the gem really was.”
“It is recorded in our forbidden archive here in the Canterlot library as a gem that could defy the elements of harmony.”
“That's all the info you have, isn't it?”
Dark Eater then put on a huge grin on his face and began laughing hysterically, “Heheheheheh....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....oh how rich....hehehehehe....you really don't know..”
He paused and then began again, “Very well, I'll tell of the gem's origins. It's your fault is exists anyways, well that and your moon loving sister's fault.”
“What did you say?!”
“Did you ever consider that removing the Elements of Harmony from the Tree of Harmony would cause even greater magic to appear in Equestria?”
“...What do you mean?”
“I know for a fact that some of the papers and reports of Starswirl the Bearded are lost in the archives in this world, am I correct?
“...Yes.” Celestia said bluntly. “They're in the human world aren't they?”
“Correct, they were given to a certain family in the human world along with the gem, as the gem's power was severely weakened just being in the human world. At the time he put the gem there, it was the only magic item in that world, though later he dumped more magic there no realizing the imbalance it could cause to the human world. Heh, heh, heh, you must have really betrayed him you rainbow colored wench.”
“Stop insulting me and continue, tell us everything.” Celestia demanded.
“I will keep insulting you till you believe you are exactly what I say you are hag. Anyways, do you know why the gem was made? Wait don't answer that you're stupid. It was created to counter your Element of Harmony reign of terror back when you had just beaten Discord.”
“What? How?”
“King Sombra, or more percisely, servants of King Sombra. He had sent spies to your kingdom and felt threatened by your power those many moons ago when he was still just a dark unicorn. He then tasked several dark craftsponies hidden away from his empire to create a weapon to defeat you 'Alicorn Sisters'. Unfortunately for him, the weapon was completed after he had already been beaten by you two, so instead his servants hid the gem. However, as you can guess, Starswirl found and defeated them. There, seeing the power the gem held, he must have told you about it but at the same time got rid of it by himself. Not only that, he left behind several papers and reports detailing incredible feats of magic that he believed Equestria was not ready to know.”
Celestia was taken back by the information she had heard but Dark Eater continued.
“Seeing at the time that magic does work in the human world unless a magical artifact is brought into it, he believed that humans would not be able to use the gems. My ancestors helped him and hid the gem and the papers he had wrote. A few generations later I got my hands on the papers he had left and began making my own advancements of magic in the human world and then hilariously enough you did something else that caused all the hard work Starswirl did to make sure the worlds will be kept in balance!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!”
“Stop Laughing!” exclaimed Celestia in anger.
“Oh shut up you piece of rotten, disgusting, overweight, sun-loving, piece of sewage filth! You're the reason half of this garbage happened to this world and the human world! You're the reason Sombra had the gem made, you're the reason Starswirl had to use the human world instead for a safe place for the gem to hidden away, and you're the reason the imbalance began to happen because you failed to keep your little apprentice Sunset in check. Remind me why I should even acknowledge a despicable, arrogant, vile, filthy, disgusting, trashy, rainbow-filled piece of pony garbage like you?!!!!”
“Why you little-” said Rainbow Dash before she was interrupted by Celestia.
“That's enough Rainbow Dash. Tell me one more thing, why did you attack our world?”
“....Despite my hatred for you, there is one person I hate more, the current owner of the Gem of Keys, my father, Violent Tempest. As for why I came here, it was to obtain enough power to defeat the Gem of Keys by any means necessary. Not only that, I believe there is a very good chance he is about to come to Equestria and when he does, this world will die.”
To change the future of Equestria
Chapter 4 - Violent Tempest
“The world will die? But according to the Future Fluttershy, a person like that never came to our world and why does that mean we are going to die?” asked Twilight.
“Oh right, I haven't told you the gem's true power, have I?” said Dark Eater, “Well, how do I explain it so you will all understand...ah, I know!”
He then paused for a second and then continued, “The Gem of Keys is a very powerful gem. It was designed to combat magic beyond basic unicorns. The Elements of Harmony, more specifically the Tree of Harmony exists to uphold the law of Order in this world. After all, the original reason the elements were taken from the tree was so that order could be obtained by defeating Discord, Master of Chaos.”
“How do you know all this?” asked Celestia.
“It was written in Starswirl's papers, all except the location of the way into Equestria, which I found out about later. Now back to my explanation, the gem was designed to counter the meaning of order without using chaos. So the craftponies found a different solution.”
“How? Aren't order and chaos opposites? Wouldn't that make sense to use chaos instead?” asked Twilight.
“With the rules of the world, that would be the most likely solution and in fact if they had they would have probably got it done for Sombra before he lost. The solution they made was unbelievable. I don't know what they did but they made something incredible. The made a item that could manipulate the laws of life without having to use order or chaos magic!”
“Manipulate Life? How is that more powerful that the elements or the rainbow?”
“You misunderstand, Harmony, or rather Order and Chaos can only go so far in terms of magic. The gem however, bypasses those limits. It allows full control over life and death. It take life and give it as well. You understand now?”
“No, you aren't making any sense!” yelled Rainbow Dash.
“Yeah, Yer crazier than a sack of ferrets!” said AppleJack angrily.
“No, I get it.” said Twilight. “Life applies to magic as well, doesn't it? Even Chaos or the elements all use magic at its core. That's why its more powerful than the elements or it could even combat the rainbow.”
“Correct. Well done, Element of Magic.”
“So was your fake one the same as the gem?”
“No, it was more like a gem that similar power to the monster known as Tirek. I was then going to obtain enough magic for it to be more powerful than the gem in the human world. There's also one more thing I need to tell you.”
“What?”
“The reason why my father, Violent Tempest, is probably coming to Equestria. In this case, it was probably Future Fluttershy's fault.”
“What? Why?”
“It was in one of Starswirl's papers, he theorized on why time travel at most should never be used and it isn't because of time paradoxes but rather time itself.”
“I've used time travel myself and it didn't change anything. Sure it was only a few minutes but still.” said Twilight.
“You had to fix what you did though, didn't you?”
Twilight gasped and then slowly said, “Yes....yes I did...”
“Future Fluttershy did not however, she instead changed the timeline. I suspect in the original timeline a huge amount of ponies died, didn't they?”
“Yes, they did.” said Fluttershy.
“Time is now trying to fix itself and Future Fluttershy's death will not be enough. Time's best case scenario would to bring a monster that would kill without mercy and has no regard for life.”
“That's your father isn't it?” said Celestia sternly.
“But of course, that man will be unstoppable with the gem. You'll need help in order to stop him.”
“Hold on, what are you suggesting?” asked Twilight.
“I'm suggesting that I'll help you beat him before he destroys Equestria.”
“Impossible, why should we trust you?!” spoke Celestia angrily.
At that moment a guard ran down and quickly yelled, “Your Highness! There is an emergency!”
“What is it?!”
“The carriage that was transporting the Mirror you requested suddenly exploded!”
“What?!”
“Heh heh heh, looks like it has begun...” said Dark Eater. “He's already here. Don't worry, he'll keep the mirror in tact, it's his only way back you know.”
“How did he? How he is here? It is not thirty moons yet?!”
“The gem can bypass magic laws, remember? It was the only part of the gem I made similar to the Gem of Keys. It makes using the mirror easier though my gem was designed to only bypass the mirror only, it couldn't bypass any other laws.”
“So that's how he got here.....What do we do Princess Celestia?” asked Twilight.
“Does your father have a weakness Dark Eater?” said Celestia.
“Oh well, I know a way that could beat him and we will need the Rainbow power but only if we make a deal.”
“A deal?”
“Yes, I will help you beat him on one condition, heck I will even come back to this cell, but no pony from this world will ever go back to the human world. I'll let Sunset Shimmer go back but no pony must ever go there ever again.”
“Why?”
“It's true, I hate my father and you rainbow trash but I will never allow my world's balance be broken. I will stay in Equestria after this over.”
Celestia paused for a second and then said, “Okay, we have a deal.”
“Good, then I'll tell you the one weakness of the Gem of Keys.”
“A weakness? Really?”
“Yes. It's user is the weakness. Oh and in order for this to work, I'll need a tiny dagger.”
Some time later....
In the fields right before the mountain to climb up to Canterlot stood a lone grey unicorn. The gem was glowing a bright red on the necklace he was wearing. His eyes were pure white, filled with malice.
“KILL KILL KILL, KILL EVERYTHING!!!”
“Hello Father.” said Dark Eater. “What are you doing here?”
“Dark Eater?! What are you doing here?”
“I'm here to beat you.”
“I am everything, you insignificant piece of garbage, how dare you try to stop me, your father! I am a being of higher power, that is why I killed our entire family! The reason I killed the garbage known as my wife or my siblings and my parents! I killed them all! They deserved nothing! That is why they must die! That is what I tried to raise you into but I knew you were a failure! You will die too!”
“...Right....” said Dark Eater and then he immediately charged into Violent Tempest. Violent Tempest immediately beat Dark Eater to the punch and slammed him into the ground. He began beating him into the ground and soon Dark Eater's bones began making cracking noises. “Now!” yelled Dark Eater.
The Mane Six immediately appeared and used the Rainbow Power into Violent Tempest. He immediately roared, “You think this insignificant amount of power will beat the Gem of Keys?!”
“No it won't.” said Dark Eater, “But its a good distraction.”
“Huh?” said Violent Tempest but it was too late, Dark Eater took the dagger out of his mouth and cut the necklace holding the gem. It fell off his body and immediately the Rainbow power flooded into Violent Tempest. He then fell, beaten. Before long, both were put into cells and the gem was sealed in a forbidden place inside Canterlot.
However, later that night...
“Heh heh heh, well, only one part of my original plan worked, get the gem and beat dear old dad. Oh well, so much for getting the gem.” Dark Eater said to himself as used tongue to push a small stone hidden behind his teeth. “This little guy could maybe make just one explosion. That will be enough.”
He then blew up his cell's bars and quickly escaped into the night. “Well, well, well, a whole world of magic to explore, this will be fun!”
