//-------------------------------------------------------// The Darkest Pony -by Palkia614- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Dark Pony //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Dark Pony      As Skyline walked throught the Everfree forest, he jumped at every Howl, Screech, and shout he heard. He eventually made it to Zecora's Hut. He shuddered, and knocked on the Forest wood door. "Who is there, and Why? Oh my goodness, Little Skyline!" Zecora said to Him. "Yeah, It's me." Skyline replied.       Zecora let him in, and poured a remedy into a cup. "What's that, Zecora?" He said.    "Ah, Little Skyline, A remedy for a client of mine." Skyline grinned, and then asked, "Well, uh, Zecora, Do you have a remedy for my broken hoof?" Zecora grinned, and handed him a jar of cookies. "These cookies will fix you up, Right in time, for your mother's Sup!" Skyline grabbed a cookie, and wolfed it down. "Eeewww, Oatmeal Rasin." Zecora laughs, and the door starts rattling. She opens the hut door, and a black unicorn barges into the room. "Zecora, Dear, Do you have my remedy?" She frowns, and throws a bag at him. "Now wait here! You just BARGE in here, DEMAND a remedy, and just LEAVE like THAT?!" The black colt whimpers, and his eyes glare red.  "Now, Listen here, Child, if you cause any trouble, You WILL regret it."  Skyline backs away, and The black colt walks out of the hut, into the forest. "What a jerk, that fellow is. He is just like a store clerk!" Skyline chuckles, and leaves the hut. On the way out, he bumps into yellow,white,and orange ponies. Skyline shakes his head and says, "Hi, Im Skyline, and you are?" The yellow pony responds, "Im applebloom, This is Sweetie Belle," she points to the white pony, who seems to be a unicorn."This is Scootaloo!" Applebloom points to the orange pegasus. They wave their hooves, and they walk into the hut. "Hey Zecora!" Applebloom says. "Ah, my little friends, now for a tale of the pony, Firenze!"    Skyline peers through the window, and hears a chanting song. " Firenze was an evil being, slaying one pony each and every day, what was he, a phantom, a unicorn, no one knew, to their dismay. One figured out, how to win. All that was needed was a seaponies fin, a tear from the dragon, Zin! With eyes jet black, and a hide just the same. Fire engulfed his entire mane!" Skyline ran back to ponyville, and spies the Black Unicorn walking into a dark room. He peered in, and saw a dark shadow, with eyes blue. "I have brought the remedy, M'lord." The black pony walked out of the shadows, and revealed a weak, frail, pony skeleton. It reached down into the bag, and pulled out a vial. "Ah, Good Job, Frienz. A drop from the fountain of youth..." The pony skeleton let out a silver forked tounge. It grabbed the cork, yanked it out, and licked the drop right into the mouth of the skeleton. The bones quickly submerged into flesh, the pony fattened into a large, burly, black pony. "Good work my son, now, to claim this land, as the land of FIRE! //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2       Skyline Scurried from the spot, and into zecora's hut. He knocked on the door as frantically as he could. Zecora quickly opened the door, and asked, "What is it my little colt? Talk to me, and I'll Consult." I told her all about the Drop, and how he gave it to the skeleton pony. "Oh no, Oh my, I cannot believe my eyes. With a drop from the fountain of youth, you wont grow old!" Sweetie belle then chimed in, "Thats Un Couth!" I walked over to the 3 ponies and asked, "Would you like to help me?" They lit like bulbs. The ponies twitched, and twitched, and twitched. "Cutie mark crusader HEROES!" The shout blew Skyline away. The Crusaders picked him up and took him to the CMC treehouse
