Black Arms Return
Black Comet
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was done… On the planet known as Earth, their war with the stars was over… Black Doom, the leader of an evil and destructive alien race known as the Black Arms has fallen, the Black Comet has been destroyed… Or so the people of Earth thought… In truth it had only been moved, warped away. It floated through space, while the Black Arms had recovered their leader. Black Doom lives, though he is injured, he will live. The Black Comet moved at a slow pace, where they would land… It was unknown. However the Black Arms knew that wherever the Black Comet went, they would spread death and destruction…
It was a beautiful night, in Equestria, many ponies gathered outside of their homes with food, and blankets, having a late night picnic while they waited for a meteor shower to start. However the small town of Ponyville, had perhaps the most excited pony there. Twilight Sparkle was setting up a blanket for her friends and herself. After all, she loved to gaze at the work of the Princesses, the beautiful stars, the bright days. She finished setting up the blanket and placed a basket full of snacks and food down on top of it. She lifted up a scroll and a quill then checked another thing off her list. All she had left to do was set up her telescope.
“Just a few more minutes until they should get here.” She said to herself, while she adjusted the telescope to look up at the meteors and comets that would pass by. She finished and began to wait for her friends, who would be arriving soon. One by one her friends came over and began to sit around the blanket. The simple apple farmer, Applejack. The fashionable, Rarity. The shy and gentle, Fluttershy. The fast and adventurous, Rainbow Dash. The crazy party pony, Pinkie Pie. Finally there was her, the smart and curious, Twilight Sparkle. However one more would join them, Twilight’s assistant, Spike. The baby dragon had been helping her for years now, and he was one of her best friends. The meteors began to fall, leaving golden, blue, and white trails as they soared across the sky. They each took turns peeking through the telescope, looking at the beautiful comets. However Spike found something interesting.
“Um… Guys…? There’s this weird comet… It’s kind of ugly looking…” He muttered, but Twilight thought he was just being rude.
“Spike, it can’t be…” She had begun, but when she looked at the comet, she felt the same way. It was very ugly with long spikes, and several craters, the disgusting purple trail it left was nauseating. Twilight wasn’t sure what to make of this comet.
“Let me see!” Rainbow Dash shouted, pushing Twilight out of the way.
“I want to see too!” Pinkie shoved her way to look.
“What is it like?” Rarity asked, squeezing in to get a peek.
“Is it scary?” Fluttershy wondered, waiting her turn to see.
“That is one ugly comet…” Applejack muttered, looking at the comet.
However, they all noticed that it was getting more and more difficult to see the comet through the telescope, and when they looked upwards towards the sky, they could see why. The comet was approaching the planet, it was huge! Larger than the library, larger than all of Ponyville! It had begun to pick up speed as it came closer and closer to them, but it narrowly missed the small town and crashed deep into the Everfree forest.
"That thing almost took our heads off!" Rainbow Dash shouted, but she knew that it was dangerous to go into the Everfree forest, especially at night. She knew that they would have to investigate, but it should be done during the day, and she also knew that Twilight would need to write a letter to the Princess.
"Spike, take a letter..." Twilight instructed and the small dragon took out a scroll and quill then began to write.
"Dear Princess Celestia, During Princess Luna's meteor shower, a mysterious and disturbing object crashed nearby in the Everfree forest, while we do not know if it is dangerous or not, we will wait until morning to investigate. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
Spike rolled up the letter and blew his green fire on it, causing the scroll to disappear, where it would then be delivered to Princess Celestia, who might be able to shed some light on this mysterious object. Until then however they could only let their imaginations flow and think about what the object may or may not be. While they each had their own theories, they would never be sure.
"It's a bunch of aliens! They've come to invade and try to kill us all!" Rainbow Dash shouted, which frightened Rarity and Fluttershy, but Applejack and Twilight weren't so sure.
"It ain't no aliens. It's just a comet. Ain't nothing dangerous about it." Applejack argued, but Pinkie Pie had her own idea.
"OH! WHAT IF IT'S A GROUP OF INTERGALACTIC PARTY PLANNERS AND WE'RE THEY'RE ONE HUNDREDTH PLANET AND WE GET A FREE GALACTIC SIZED PARTY!" Pinkie shouted, although the others knew that wasn't the case, they said nothing to ruin her happiness.
"What if Rainbow Dash is right? What if it is evil aliens...? What would we do...?" Fluttershy asked, clearly scared to death by rainbow Dash's assumption.
"Don't worry darling. I'm sure nothing will try to hurt us. After all, what would we have done to deserve it?" Rarity said attempting to comfort Fluttershy, However if it had an effect it was not seen.
The Black Comet sat in the middle of the Everfree forest, it holding the numberless soldiers of the Black Arms inside, who were eager to conquer this world, but until their leader was fully healed, they could not act. They would have to patient, while Black Doom rested. They knew nothing about this place or its inhabitants, but what they knew was they could conquer it as long as HE doesn't get involved. Should HE get involved then the Black Arms stand little to no chance of conquering this world. They could only hope and wait...
