The start of it all

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It was a dark full moon night. There was a woman in a black robe running to Celestia's castle who held a baby in her hands.

She looked in her early twenties her hair was long, curly and in a ponytail, her eyes were blue and her skin quite fair. Her name was Stephanie Michele Robinson.

By the time she reached Celestia's castle, she was greeted by a dark blue Alicorn who had a mane and tai that matched the night sky. Her eyes were teal in coloration she wore a black chest plate with the moon on it. She also had a black blot on her hindlegs the bear her cutie mark which was a crescent moon. She looked as young as Stephanie was. When she recognized who the figure in the robe was she reached for Celestia.

Celestia was older then Luna. She was an Alicorn white in color who had purple eyes, a mane and tail that had aqua, light blue, and pink. She wore a golden crown and chest plate and had a cutie mark of the sun on her hind legs. She also had a horn longer than Luna's. When she saw Stephanie she had a look of worry for her.

"Stephanie, is that you? What's wrong old friend?" She realized she had tears running down her face.

"I'm being chased by Dark Lady Ophanimon. She's killed off all my family members. Now I'm next and so is my little one."

Celestia looked at the little infant and had a look of sorrow on her face. Then Stephanie spoke again her voice shaky "I must ask of you to take care of him and make sure he becomes the new Arbiter of our bloodline."

At that moment Celestia choked up at the sudden offer. At first she thought it would be a burden, but figured that Stephanie's time would end by Dark Lady Ohphanimon she had no choice.

"Of course my dearest friend. I'll do whatever it takes for him to be the new Arbiter." She saw the look of gratitude and grief on Stephanie's face. With that said Stephanie said her goodbyes to her little bundle and kissed him on his forhead. Before she ran off Celestia asked for the baby's name.

"His name is Dustin Thomas Hogan." And she ran off into the woods. And by that time she was gone from plain sight, Celestia and Luna heard Stephanie scream signaling that Dark Lady Ophanimon has killed her.

Dustin started crying and Celestia tried to calm him down but to no avail. So Luna decided to sing her well known Children of the night to luul him asleep.

"Come Little Children I'll Take Thee Away Into A Land Of Enchantment, Come Little Children The Time's

Come To Play, Here In My Garden Of Shadows. Follow Sweet Children I'll Show Thee The Way, Through All

The Pain And The Sorrows, Weep Not Poor Children For Life Is This Way, Murdering Beauty And

Passions. Hush Now Dear Children It Must Be This Way To Weary Of Life And Deceptions, Rest Now

My Children For Soon We'll Away into The Calm And The Quiet.

Come Little Children I'll Take Thee Away, Into A Land Of Enchantment, Come Little Children The Time's Come To Play Here In My Garden Of Shadows."

And to Luna and Celestia's surprise, he fell asleep. Luna eyed at him as he slept with such love in her eyes. She knew that he is destined for great things.

Then suddenly, Celestia and Luna both saw a sinister figure walking up to to the castle where both princesses were standing with the baby in hand. She was wearing gray and teal armor with four golden bat shaped wings, red menacing eyes, and a large scythe covered in flames and dark aura.

She was guarded by four of her best soldiers. They were BlackMercurymon, black armored man with mirrors for shields and a face with only a mouth visible, BlackArbormon, a robot like being with black armor and a body made out of dark colored wood, BlackRanamon a girl with aqua green skin with orange eyes, finlike ears and fins on her waist, wearing a black and purple lined swimsuit and helmet, and BlackGrumblemon, a small dwarf like man with a big nose, wearing black armored, green eyes, red markings on his face, nose and arms, a mahagony hat, slate gray skin coloration and wielding a big spiked sledge hammer.

She speaks in her sinister voice. "Well I see you have the little brat that Stephanie ran off with. How about you just hand him over if you know what's good for you."

Celestia retorted in a tone full of anger towards the demoness. "Never you demon cur. There is no way I would hand such a future warrior over to such wretch like you."

"Look sugah, we have a task to fulfill so don't make this hard for us." BlackRanamon said in her most patient tone. "That's right whitey, Dark Lady Ophanimon does not tolerate survivers. So hand him over sheila." Said BlackArbormon in his Australian accent.

"You and your army of monstrosities have ten seconds to leave or you'll face our rath." Said Luna in her darkest tone of voice.

"Then just try it. Me crush you like bugs." BlackGrumblemon said in his gruff voice.

"And I must warn thee, we are the most strongest beings to exist. Thou hast no idea of who thou art messing with." BlackMercurymon said in Shakespearian.

At that moment, Celestia called for Cadence to hold little Dustin and watch him while both her and Luna fought Dark Lady Ophanimon and her goons.

Celestial formed a beam of light towards Dark Lady Ophanimon, but BlackMercurymon got on front of her and yelled "Dark Absorption" and with that he absorbed and redirected the ray only for Celestia to dodge it.

Then BlackGrumblemon yelled out "Seismic Sledge" and slammed his hammer to the ground and cause a large fissure. BlackRanamon summoned a rain cloud and announced "Drainin Rain" and in doing so a massive downpour ran on Celestia and she  fell to the ground.

BlackArbormon got ready to finish the fight by attacking Cadence and Dustin. He yelled out "Blockade Seed" and fired a seed toward them, only to be deflected by Luna casting a shield to deflect the attack.

"You should've heed my warning foul wretch now you must die". Luna said in a yell full of rage and darted towards Dark Lady Ophanimon with such speed she didn't leave a track.

Dark Lady Ophanimon was knocked off her feet and was injured by Luna's brutality. But Luna continued to blast at her with dark rays only to see Dark Lady Ophanimon had enough and stopped.

Despite how weak Dark Lady Ophanimon was she called for a retreat as she summoned a portal of darkness. Before she disappeared with her allies she yelled out "Keep the little Arbiter. He won't be able to stop me and my army the Dark Dekka. And I'll make sure he doesn't. So I'll let him live for now. But I'll make sure he rots in the deepest depths of the darkest abyss along with he rest of his kind. So you two fools just got lucky". And with that the portal vanished from sight.

Then Celestia said in her most serious voice "Oh yes he will you foul wretch. He'll be the best Arbiter Equestria has ever seen. So you better get ready for your reign of terror to come to an end." She then took Dustin from Cadence and looked at him with such sorrow for his great loss yet with much love for him "I know you'll make your family proud. I will make sure you become the best Arbiter in all of Equestria. You will for sure bring honor to your family line. I'll make sure you'll grow and have a happy life around here. I'm swear on your mother."
