Chapter 1 Crash landing

Dark One's Return

Chapter One. Crash landing

Spike smiled as he sat outside with his beautiful wife, Holding her in is arm's
"It is amazing to be back home after a week of being in Canterlot" Rarity said snuggling up into Spike chest
"It's good to have you back, Me and Gem have missed you" He said pulling her close
"I just hate leaving you two alone" She said looking up at Spike "You two boys always get into trouble, Don't think i don't know what you two do when i'm gone" Rarity looked at Spike
"This time me and Gem just did what we normally do when your here" He said lying

Rarity got up off of Spike and walked back inside "Oh really? I seem to recall Twilight calling me, She told me you an Gem were" Rarity walked back out an held up a picture of Spike an Gem pulling pranks with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie "Pulling pranks with the girls"
"How did you get that?" He asked getting scared
"Oh, I have my ways" She said with an evil smile "You forget i have many friends in this town"
Spike was sweating bullets "Honey... We didn't do any harm"

"Oh, I know" She said walking up to Spike "But pulling pranks on Gem's bully's won't help him learn to stand up to them"
"We did that last time you were out, This time we pranked Twilight and Applejack" Spike said with a smile
"I notice that" She said "And for pranking you will be sleeping out on the couch for two weeks, Gem will be ground for two weeks as well"

Rarity went to go back inside when Spike used his tale to wrap around Rarity's waist "I will be sleeping in my bed tonight with my wife"
Rarity horn started to glow "Or you'll be sleeping outside"
Spike put down Rarity "Fine the couch it is" Spike made his way towards the couch "Love you sweetie"
"Have fun on couch sweetie" She said walking up the stairs

The ground started to shake around PonyVille
"SPIKE! SOMETHINGS WRONG" Rarity yelled running down the stairs and jumping into Spike
"I notice that" Spike said holding her close
There was a giant BANG! that could be heard thousands of miles away
"What was that noise" Gem said walking down the stairs
"Sounded like something crashed" Spike said letting Rarity down "I'll go check it out, You two stay inside" He walked over to the door

"Be careful dear" She said

Spike looked at the giant metal thing in front of him "What the heck is this thing!?" Spike asked out load
"If i remember what the Doctor told me, It's a space ship" Twilight said walking up to Spike
Spike jumped "What are you doing out here Twilight?"
"Me and Sapphire were out doing some late night work out here in the woods, When we saw this ship fall out of the sky" She said looking at Spike "I see you came to see what it was"
"It shook all of Ponyville, Of course i came to see what this thing was" Spike notice how big the ship was "What do you think is in it?"

"It looks like a cargo ship" Said a voice "But with the American flag on the ship, I take it, It's from my world"
Spike and Twilight looked at the pony "Doctor! What are you doing here!?" Twilight said running up to him an giving him a hug
"It's good to see you too Twi" The Doctor said with a smile and hugging back, Twilight let go "I was just passing through when i felt the ground shake, So i came here to see this ship here" He said with a smile
"You said it's a cargo ship?" Spike asked
"From the look of it, Yes" The Doctor looked around the ship "This is very strange"
"What is it?" Twilight asked
"It looks like it has been through a black hole" The Doctor said looking at the black goowy stuff on the ship
"A Black hole!?" Twilight looked shocked "Nothing can survive a black hole!"
"Looks like this ship did" He looked up at Twilight "Does anyone hear banging?"
They all looked up to see a door fling open "Talk about a crash landing" The man looked down "Well, I guess the framer is going to be mad about me crashing onto his land"

"No worries, You landed in a forest" The Doctor yelled "Your an American right?"
"Born in the U.S.A, I see you ponies can talk, I guess i'm on an all horse planet?" The man asked
"More like you landed in a universe of ponies only" The Doctor yelled
"So it worked" The man said kicking the side of the door allowing a ladder to go down the ship, The man climbed down
"What do you mean it worked?" The Doctor asked
"Not dying" The man said "I had to turn off the shields along with many other programs, So now i'm here"
"If you don't mind me asking" Twilight said looking at the Human "What kind of ship is this?"
"This is a cargo/Prisoner ship" The man said
"You have Prisoners on this ship?" The Doctor asked worried
"Just one" The man looked up at the ship "He won't shut up about how he will rule over all worlds"
"What did he do?" The Doctor asked
The man looked back at them "Used some kind of power to take over planets"
"He used some kind of power?" Twilight asked

"We don't know what it is, But we found away to keep him locked up" The man walked over to the side of the ship an kicked the side of it, A door opened up "Your welcome to come see him"

They followed the man inside

"He calls himself the dark one" He said flipping some papers "My job was to throw him into a black hole, But my ship got sucked in"
"You would throw him inside a black hole? Do you do that a lot?" Twilight asked
"No, we lock them up in prison's, But this one" The man looked at the guy "Tryed to destroy three planets in one day"
"Thank you, Blaze, I'm home after so many years" The Dark One said with an evil smile, His words scaring Spike a little
"No, Your not home" Blaze said looking at him, His eye's showed how pissed he was
"Your name is Blaze?" The Doctor asked looking at Blaze
"Yeah" Blaze said looking over the papers
"What's in cargo hold?" Twilight asked looking over at the doors that said Cargo
"Carrying books, Movies, Computers, Phones, Food" Blaze said still looking at the papers "Video Games, Gaming consoles"
"Did you say books?" Twilight asked her face showed how exited she was
Blaze looked at the purple unicorn "I take it your a book lover?"
"I love books" Twilight said with a smile

"Well then, I'll take you to the books then" Blaze said with a smile, Blaze looked back at the man inside the cell "I take it you want to talk with him?" Blaze asked the Brown pony
"If you don't mind" The Doctor asked
"I don't see any harm" Blaze said "Just tell me your name so i know who was with him last"
"I'm the Doctor"
"Doctor who?" Blaze asked, His face not buying it
"Just the Doctor"
Blaze looked at him "You can't just make up a name" Blaze said with a smile "Okay, Doctor, I'll let you talk with the prisoner"

"An this is where all the books are" Blaze said showing Twilight the library on the ship "What do you think"
"It would have sucked if you came here when i was just a little baby dragon" Spike said leaning on the railing
Twilight was gone in a flash
"Is she always like this?" He asked Spike
"Yes, She love's to read" Spike smiled at the memory's
"Is there something you might like?" Blaze asked
"Nah, I got everything i need" Spike said "By the way i'm Spike and the one reading your books is Twilight Sparkle"
"It's nice to meet you Spike" Blaze said reaching out to shake Spikes hand, Spike shook back
"I've seen dragons before, There is a whole Planet just full of them" Blaze said "Last time i was there, They held a fest just for me"
"There are dragon's in your world?" Spike asked looking at Blaze
"Lot's, They have there own planet" Blaze said pulling out a picture and showing Spike

"So tell me, Dark one, Who are you really?" The Doctor asked
"I'm what used to be in Equestria" The Dark One said, Showing his evil smile his eye's showing his true evil "I ruled over all till My sister's took me down" His voice turning into anger "I was once a pony! I was king!!! i will take my place as king!" He yelled laughing
"So you are from here" The Doctor said "Tell me, Who are your sister's?"
"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna" When he said there names it sounded like death was speaking "Both took me down not to long after Discord" The Dark one smiled, His fangs showing "Being back home is so much better, Now my powers will be unstoppable" His eyes started to glow dark red
"This cell is keeping you from using your powers" The Doctor said "How do you think your going to get out?"
"Easy, He has been awaken once again, He will serve his master" The Dark one started laughing

"Spike! I need you!" Twilight yelled
"Coming Twi" Spike said walking down the metal stairs, Blaze followed Spike
They found Twilight jumping around from bookshelf from bookshelf trying to stack books "Good your here Spike" Twilight said "I need you to send this letter to the Princess"
"Okay" Spike held the letter up an used his fire to send the letter off
"Princess?" Blaze asked "Umm, I'm not going to get in trouble am i?"
"No, You didn't do anything wrong" Twilight said "But she has the right to know someone has entered her kingdom"
Spike burped an a letter fell to the ground in front of Twilight, Twilight used her Magic and picked it up

"Dear Twilight Sparkles
My sister has left the country for awhile, She will be back in a couple of days, I will be taking her place till she has returned, I will be there shortly to check out this new comer
Singed Princes Luna"

"Looks like Princess Luna will be coming" She said going back to her books
"Princess Luna? Does she have something to do with the moon?" Blaze asked
"She raises the Moon" Spike said "Her sister Princess Celestia, Raise the Sun"
"They both rule over Equestria" Twilight said "Is there away i can take some of these books with me?"
"You can take as many as you want, As long as i get them back" Blaze said "I'll get you a bag" Blaze walked off

"Spike, Take a look at this book" She said handing him the book
Spike looked at the book "The myth of Dragons, Unicorns and Pegasus"
"It seems these books were made way before this ship was made" Twilight said
"Here is your bag" Blaze said handing Twilight the bag "These books are hundreds of years old, So i wouldn't be suprise if you find something about Dragons, Unicorns" Blaze heard his watch go off "I need to go check on your friend, You two know how to get back out right?"
"Yeah, I know where to go" Twilight said loading the books into her bag

Blaze walked in to see the Doctor sitting there with his hoof on his chin

"What's he saying?" Blaze asked walking up
"It seems he is from around here" The Doctor said still looking at the Dark One
"Really? Well then" Blaze walked up to the cell "We will have to take him away from here"
"I'm back Blaze" Said a voice
The Doctor looked around "Who is that?"
"That's Star, She the computer for this ship" Blaze said "Good to know your back online Star"
"Do you wish for me to bring online, Titan's?" Star asked
"No, We don't them" Blaze said pulling up the computer near the cell
"Titan's?" The Doctor asked looking at Blaze
"They are robots, They were made to make sure he keeps put" Blaze said "Star how much power do we have?"
"We are running on 70% sir"
"How is the core doing?" Blaze asked looking up
"The core is at 100%"

"This is great" Blaze kicking the wall "Star can you put yourself inside a robot and go check on our guest in the library please?" Blaze asked
"I'm on it Blaze"

"Star can turn herself into a robot?" The Doctor asked
"Yeah, She's not just a computer program, She's a real human, Inside a computer" Blaze said pulling up the program for the Doctor
"Why is she inside this computer?" He asked walking up to the computer
"She was dying, It was her idea, I just went along with it" Blaze said, The Doctor could see in his eyes how said he was "Star is alive so i don't have to worry about a computer trying to kill me in my sleep" Blaze walked over to a door "Would you like to see Titan?"
The Doctor shook his head and followed Blaze into the back

In Canterlot inside the gradan, A sutue stood

The stone started to break free, Laughing could be heard from inside
"Free at last!" Discord said stretching "Time to cause some chaos!"
"Not this time, My old friend" Said the Dark one walking up in his pony form "We have a job to do"
"Master, You have returned" Discord said bowing "How did you get back?"
"I'm not really here, I'm using my magic to free you and to allow me to talk to you" The Dark One said "This is what i look like now" The Dark One's form changed into a human "I'm stuck like this, Come find me, I need help getting out of this ship"
"I will come get you Master" Discord said "Do you plan on taking over Equestria?"

The Dark One smiled. He faded away

The Dark One smiled as he walked up to the side of one of the Titan robot's "Let's see how they fight this off" He touched the robot and smiled, The eye's on the titan started to glow red "Let the first blood be spilled" The Dark One faded away

Chapter 2 The Break out

Chapter 2 The Break out

Dark One's Returns

Chapter 2, The break Out

The Doctor was in awe as he saw the titans "These things are beautiful!"
Blaze smiled "Thanks, I made them myself"
"You made these?" He asked
"In fact i'm the one who built this ship, It's only fair if i built these robots to help run this ship" Blaze said
One of the Titan's started to move "Kill intruders"
Blaze held up his hand "Back in line"
"Kill intruder!" The Robot held up his hand, A gun popped out of it "You shall be killed"
"RUN!" Blaze yelled taking off running

The Door slammed shut
"Won't it break through that door?" The Doctor asked
"The door is reinforced" Blaze said running over to the computer "Nothing can get through that door"
"So it begins" The Dark One said smiling
"What did you just say?" The Doctor asked walking up to the window
"I will soon be free" He said his voice deep "There will be so much blood"
Blaze walked up to the side of the window "What do you mean by that!" Blaze yelled "What did you do to my robots!"
"All i did was just did a little re programming" He said with a toothy smile
Blaze slammed his hand onto the wall "Do you have any idea what you just unleashed!?" Blaze yelled "These things only know one thing, Kill you and anyone on this ship!"
"Looks like you're going to have to get off this ship" He said with a smile

Twilight placed the bag on her side and made her way towards the door, Spike Followed her
"You two must be guest of Blaze" Said a voice
Twilight and Spike looked to see a suit of armor "Did that suit just talk to us?" Spike asked
"Yes, My name is Star" She said "Blaze asked me to come check on you two"
"Why are you inside a suit of armor?" Twilight asked
"Very long story" She said "Is there anything i can get you two?"
They both looked at each other then back at Star "We're good" They both said
The door behind them opened "Kill intruders!"
Twilight and Spike backed away from the door "Stand down titan" Star said walking up to titan
"Kill intruders" Titan raised his hand ready to fire
"Don't think so" Star said touching titan
The suit powered down "What is that thing!?" Spike asked
"It's meant to protect the ship if the prisoner escaped" She said pushing the titan "It will come back online soon" Star looked to see five more coming "Five more heading towards us and fast"
Star walked pass the two and the door slammed shut "Follow me, We need to go find Blaze"
The Both followed her as they went to the prisoner's cell

"Blaze what is wrong with titan?" Star asked walking in
"This nut ball did something to them" Blaze said from the computer "I'm trying to reprogram them" Blaze smiled and got up "But since you're here" Blaze walked up to Star "Shall we take care of them together?"
The armor opened up
"There is no one inside!" Both Twilight and Spike were shocked
Blaze walked into the suit and it closed "Static flash online" Blaze said
"Why static flash?" Star asked
"It will fire the chips" Blaze said holding up his hand "It will be easier that way"
"WHY ISN'T THERE NO ONE IN THAT SUIT!" Spike asked freaking out

"There is someone in here" Blaze said walking up to Spike "Her name is Star, She's controlling the suit" Blaze head the door being bang on "I'll tell you everything about her later, Right now i have to take care of these titans"
There was a flash of light "Look who's back!"
"Discord!" Both Twilight and Spike said with anger in their voice
"It's good to see you to Twilight Sparkle" Discord said waving to Twilight "Now, I have someone to free"
Blaze fired a warning shot "Go near him and you're going to find out what a laser taste like" Blaze said his eye's filled with Anger
In a flash of light the two were gone
Blaze blasted the wall "Star, Let's take care of those titan's" Blaze walked away leaving the group

Blaze sat inside the lab in the ship
"This lab is amazing!" Twilight said looking in awe
"Glad you like it" Blaze said as he lowered one of the titan's onto the a table
"So you're going to take this apart?" Twilight asked walking up to Blaze
"That's the plan" Blaze said taking off a panel "Good the chip is fried, This will allow me to rebuild them" Blaze slid out the chip

"You have to do this to all of them?" Twilight asked
"No, Star will do the rest for me while i try and track down our little friend" Blaze said placing a new chip inside the robot
"I should have them ready when you get back" Star said walking into the room "Only four titan's are working"
"Four is all i need right now" Blaze said looking at Star "Where is the Doctor?"
"He went to go grab something" Spike said walking into the lab "I brought a guess" Princess Luna walked into the room "Spike has informed me about what has happened" Luna walked up to Twilight "I was informed you were the one that was taking him to a black hole?" Luna asked Blaze
Blaze looked at Luna "Yes, But it seems he was already ahead of us" Blaze walked up to Luna "I'm going to need a layout of your country"

"What for?" Luna asked
"If i'm going to bring him back to prison i'm going to need to know this land" Blaze said walking back to the titan robot
"Me and my sister shall take care of it" She said
"Don't think so" Blaze said "It's my job to make sure he's locked away, And i shall make sure his life is spent locked away till he is dead"
"He shall never die" She said "He will live forever"
"What do you mean?" Blaze asked

"He is immortal" Luna sat down on the ground "It took the elements and our magic just to get him out of this world"
"Get an army and fight back" Blaze said "Once we get these Titan's online we can have them help your fight"
Before Luna could say anything the tv in the room turned on
"Hello sister, Long time no see"
"You!" Just seeing him made her blood boil
"I see Celestis couldn't have made it" He said with a smile "I'm just glad my magic can mess with his toy's"
"When i find you i will rip out your heart" Blaze said his voice filled with anger

"Temper temper, I notice the castle has been moved, What a shame, I liked it in that forest"
Luna looked in horror as the tv shown he was sitting on the throne, All around the throne was blood bones organs "But i guess this castle will do, I'm surprised my little gift to you my sister didn't work"
"What gift would that be" Luna asked her anger growing
He smiled "I gave you a little bit of my powers before i left"

"You're the one that filled my mind with darkness!" Luna yelled Everything inside her wanted nothing more than to kill him
"Yes, I see our older sister has stopped it from growing" He said holding up a bone "It would have been nice having you by my side, But now it looks like i'll have to just go talk to the very pony i made, She might be willing to overthrow you two"
"What do you mean you made her!" Luna yelled

"She was the first of the army i was making, Discord was going to keep you two busy while i sneak in and take my place on the throne, Till i came up with a back up plan, I knew the ponies would turn on me so i need ones that weren't ponies, Then it hit me" His smiled scared everypony and Person in the room "What is the weakness of all ponies? Love"
"You're the one that made Her!" Luna slam her hoof down "You created that monster!"
"I see she attacked while i was gone" He sat up off the throne "I'm glad, Now you know what i have to use, I have all the cards now sister" He walked right up to the screen "I have Discord and i have the changelings army" He walked away from the screen "Oh" He stepped back on screen "You might want to have your royal gourd train his soldiers better" The Tv Screen shut off

"Star get those titan's online as soon as possible!" Blaze yelled anger in his voice
"War is coming, It's coming fast" Luna said "I must get back home" Luna started walking away
Blaze slammed his hands onto the desk
"Twilight, We need to go get the others, If war is coming i need to go to the dragon kingdom and warn them of this war" Spike said looking at the shock Twilight, Spike snapped his fingers in front of Here "You there Twi?"
She shook her head "Yeah, I'm here" Twilight looked up at Spike "What were you saying?"
"I said we should get the others" Spike said "Do you want me to fly you home?"
She shook her head yes, In all of her years here in ponyville she has never seen such a sick pony

The Dark One smiled walking up to the cave "And this is where i will find the gem of dreams"
Discord stood outside "You sure you don't want me to just mess with Celestia till she finally gives me the book?" He asked
"No, If my sister wants to play hid and seek with my stuff, The let's play" He smiled, Discord shivered
He walked back out with the gem in hand "Now, Discord, I want you to just stay hidden till the time is right"
"But sir, I can help you"
"No! You will do as i say!" He yelled, His words scaring Discord "Now, Be gone!"
Discord snapped his fingers and was gone
The Dark one smiled as he held the gem "Now i shall find my book of darkness!"

Discord looked around the library
"Who are you?" Asked a voice
"Names Discord my dear" He said bowing "And who might you be?"
"Names Sapphire" She said walking down the stairs "What is the God of Chaos doing free?"
"Long story kido, Is your mother home?" He asked
"She back in the forest, She told me i had to come back home" She sounded annoyed
"Sapphire, What was that noise" Said a male voice
"Gem be quit!" Sapphire said panicking

Gem walked down the stairs "I'm really sorry about being over here really late mrs. Twilight i was just wanting a book and i notice you're light was on.... You're not Twilight" Gem said
Discord popped up next to Gem "And what do we have here?" He asked poking around Gem "A pony dragon?" He started laughing "This is just brilliant!"
"What is this thing?" Gem asked
"Names Discord" He said with a smile "I don't have time to chit chat with you kid, Give your mother a message for me. He's after the book of Darkness" Discord was gone
"Um.... What just happened?" Gem asked looking at Sapphire confused
"It seems Discord is loss and is trying to help" Sapphire said "We need to find my mom"

Twilight and Spike walked into the Library to find Sapphire and Gem in the kitchen "Young man! You are supposed to be at home!" Spike roared
"I came to check on Twilight and Sapphire" Gem said rubbing his hoof on his neck
"You march home right now! When i get home we're having a talk" Spike said pointing to the door
"Mr. Spike, Before you send him away you should know Discord was here" Sapphire said getting in front of Gem "He told us to tell Twilight he is looking for the book of Darkness"
Twilight face face went into horror

"Mom? What is this book?" Sapphire asked
"This book... Was the first book to be used to turn the world into darkness till the maker of the Elements of harmony. He used the elements of harmony to stop the creator of the book, He locked the book away far for anypony so it could never land into the wrong hoofs" Twilight looked at Sapphire "It is said a warrior from the stars shall come to fight this great evil"
"What's going to happen?" Spike asked looking at Twilight
"Blaze is that warrior from the stars" Twilight sat down "A great war is coming, And i fear we may lose this one"

"Don't say that!" Spike yelled shaking Twilight "You know better we will win this battle!"
"We won't Spike, The Dark One is back, The world will soon be clouded in Darkness forever" Twilight was losing hope fast
Spike did something that shocked everypony in the room Smack! Spike smacked her across the face "You never give up hope! Who help stop an evil princess! Who took out Discord! Who managed to help two ponies fight for there love! You did Twi! You did!" Spike had tears in his eyes "You never gave up hope!"
Twilight looked at Spike with a shock look on her face
"You're right Spike!" Twilight jumped onto her hoofs and ran to the bookshelf "I might know a way to get to the book first before he does!"
Spike Smiled
"Spike! Go get the girls! We have a mission to do!" Twilight said with a smile

The Dark One smiled as he walked down the canyon, Princess Celestia and her royal guard were heading back to Canterlot when they stopped dead in the tracks "What is wrong?" Celestia asked sticking her head out of the carriage
"Do not worry Princess we have this under control" Said the guard holding his spear at the stranger
"Why don't you let her out" He said the shadows flowing around the cliff wall's

Celestia walked out of the carriage and notice the thing standing in the way "May i ask who you are?"
"Does the name Darkle ring any bells" He said using is powers to hold up the guards "Or what you called me. The Dark One!" The ponies burst into flames "I'LL SOON BRING THIS WORD TO IT'S KNEES!" In a flash of black he was gone
Celestia could only watch in horror as her guards were killed, Tear's in her eye's, She used her magic and put them inside the carriage and pulled it back to Canterlot

Luna had all ponies on high alert for any sign of The Dark One "Princess Luna you're sister has returned" Shining Armor said walking up
"Is she alright?" Luna asked walking over to Shining
"She is fine, As for my men" Shining looked away
Luna walked pass Shining and down the hall to go see her sister
