Element of Greed

We were on the bridge of the Nemesis. Darkbine was at the Star Map, which was a map that showed the whole planet. Darkbine was holding his Black Emerald and it was floating around the map.

“Alright, where is the first location?” I asked

Darkbine replied “I’m already using my powers to have the emerald reveal the Element of Greed’s Power signature…”

The Emerald stop and a beam of light hit an area. They looked and see it was a mountain with the label “Emerald Mountain” on it.

“Emerald Mountain, one of the Diamond Dogs greatest Mining/Fortress. Getting inside will be very difficult due to there being greatly protected.” I said to the team.

Darkbine said “Trust me, I can take an entire army by myself. I’ve wanted to stretch my wings and powers for a while now.”

Cynder said “While there are four of us against a grand army of Diamond Dogs, we won’t be able handle this by ourselves.”

Darkbine said to her “Cynder, you have no idea who you are talking to.”

Darkbine’s horn ignited in Dark Green Aura and suddenly, a sword appeared in his hoof. The blade was nothing seen before. The Blade was Green and the metal around it was grey with a blood red ruby on it. The blade began to glow at Darkbine’s presence.

Darkbine told us, happy to see it “This is 1 of my precious artifacts that is known as “The Chaos Saber”. The Blade is made of Chaos Shards, rare gems to find. The Handel is made of Dragon Scales. An amazing design, if you ask me.”

“Indeed, it is.”

Darkbine said “We can take them on. We will be able to defeat them with ease.”

I began to think about it. Darkbine was technically powerful since he was sealed away. I finally came up with a decision and nodded, making Darkbine smile evilly.

Darkbine said “Finally, some fighting.”

“Trypticon, set course to Emerald Mountain and prepare for battle in case we come across Ships.” I ordered

Trypticon replied “UNDERSTOOD.”

The Nemesis change course, heading to Emerald Mountain.

The Nemesis had arrived to Emerald Mountain about an hour or two. We immediately began to receive fire and Trypticon gladly fired back. When we were above the Mountain, we jumped off the flight deck and landed on safely. Shadow managed to ease his landing.

Darkbine told us “Time to make an entrance.”

Darkbine’s left hoof transformed into a gun similar to what Scombine or Rainbine uses for their left arm. He fires and it explodes, creating a hole.

Darkbine said to Cynder “Ladies first.”

Cynder pulls out her blaster pistols and jumps down. Shadow followed and I went next. Darkbine went after me. We came down and began to fly through the tunnel, but to Shadow, he was running. We came out of the tunnel and found a city of Diamond Dogs, mobilizing to fight Trypticon, not even realizing that we were here.

“Let the slaughter begin.” I told them.

I jumped down, lightsabers in my hooves and my wings allowing me to soar forward. The Diamond Dogs spot me and I began to cut down Diamond Dogs. There was blaster fire and I see Cynder was flying above, shooting down Dogs. Shadow and Darkbine were cutting down Diamond Dogs with their swords. Guenhwyvar, Shadow’s Pet Panther, was attacking as well. I began to spin like a tornado and charged forward, cutting down Diamond Dogs as I went. When I stop spinning like a top, I felt a bit dizzy.

‘Still need to work on that…’ I thought

I managed to shake it off and I began to use Death Field, draining the life of nearby Diamond Dogs to restore my wounds that I had received during the spinning. I charged again but this time, Darkbine was with me. His chest was glowing and he fires some sort of beam of energy ahead, killing and destroying whatever it hit. Suddenly, a purple sphere left Darkbine’s back and formed into a robotic dog.

Darkbine ordered “Treble, eradicate the Diamond Dogs!”

Treble barked back his answer and charged forward. He opened his mouth and fired energy attacks. Darkbine’s right hoof formed into Scombine’s Shotgun or whatever it was called and fired it, killing Diamond Dogs. I didn’t question it but I kept to the attack. I threw my lightsaber and it hit a few Diamond Dogs. I slid down on my knees and grabbed my lightsaber and performed a Force Repulse, pushing Diamond Dogs away. Cynder came down, holding her Darksaber from before, and cut down the enemy. Shadow was still cutting down the Dogs as well. Treble and Guenhwyvar were enjoying killing down any Diamond Dogs who were running from the fight.

Darkbine yelled in glee “NOW THIS IS A SLAUGHTER!!!”

“I agree!”

Darkbine and Me were back-to-back because we were surrounded by Diamond Dogs. They came to attack but we were ready. I used my lightsabers to cut them down while Darkbine used his Shotgun to kill down any incoming Diamond Dogs. Several Dogs came at us and Darkbine grabbed me.

Darkbine told me “Watch this.”

Suddenly, we were surrounded by a purple and black shield. They went to smash it but it didn’t crack. They fired their blasters but didn’t work either. Darkbine began to laugh.

Darkbine told me “With the Powers and Abilities of Metal Sonic and Bass, I’m a powerful warrior. Plus the fact that I absorb superior models of those 2, making me more stronger. Black Shield was Metal’s traditional defense, it’s the ultimate defense. Can’t be broken but attacks help recharge my energy reserves.”

“Impressive…”

Darkbine said “Indeed. I have gone through a check of systems. I have Mecha Shadow’s Powers and Abilities so let’s use it.”

When they finished attacked, Darkbine lowered the Black Shield. He was glowing blue and for a split second, an entire army of Diamond Dogs were suddenly killed all of a sudden. However, I saw it all. Time froze around me when Darkbine did it all.

Darkbine told me “Chaos Control, allows me to freeze time and space.”

“Oh, I can exist out of Time. So, Chaos Control has no effect on me.”

Darkbine was impressed to hear that “Impressive…”

“Come on, let’s keep to the slaughter.”

Darkbine nods and they began to charge. A bunch of Diamond Dogs pulled out Energy Shields.

Darkbine shouted “Chaos Spear!”

Several Energy Projectiles were fires at them. They hit the center of the shields, which were a weakness. The energy shields were destroyed and we kept to the assault. We were approaching their palace, where Darkbine could detect the Element of Greed in.

The Diamond Dogs had barracked the door to prevent the intruders from getting inside. The General of the Diamond Dogs was there, on his throne. He wore a crown on his head.

Diamond Dog General yelled at his troops “6 Intruders managed to break inside 1 of the greatest fortresses on the planet and haven’t been killed yet!? Since when did my troops become so weak!?”

Diamond Dog Soldier replied nervously “It’s not our fault. They are resourceful and very powerful. We never seen these likes before, they are like gods compared to us.”

The General was about to reply until they heard slamming against the door. The Diamond Dogs began to pile against the door.

Darkbine told me “They barracked the door and no doubt adding bodies against it.”

“Well, let’s make an entrance inside.”

Darkbine asked me “You want to?”

“Move aside. I’ll blast it open with 1 attack.”

They moved away and my hooves began to glow green. I stood on my back legs and pulled back my front legs for a moment before pushing them forward, unleashing a massive beam of ectoplasmic energy. It hits the door and destroys it, killing the bodies of Diamond Dogs against it. We walked in, see the General with armor and a Mace.

DD General yelled at us “You invade this fortress, thinking you can take what you want. I’m going to kill you for killing my kin!”

Darkbine said “I’ll handle this. Where is the Element of Greed!?”

The Diamond Dog pointed at his throne and on top of it was a necklace. It looked similar to the Element of Generosity but the gold was Black and the Gem was Bright Pink.

DD General said “The Crown Jewel here in my fortress. Now, you will die.”

Darkbine told him “I’m afraid I’m not the one to kill you.”

DD General asked, not getting it “What do you mean?”

Darkbine used his magic and formed a magical circle in the center of the room. The General was chained all of a sudden and thrown aside. The circle had candles around it and a cauldron in the middle, boiling. Darkbine pulled out a needle, which had blood inside it.

Darkbine told us “Time for the Ritual of Recreation.”

Darkbine used his magic to pick up the Element of Greed and he dropped it into the cauldron. He pulled out a knife and cut himself. A few drops of blood went into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted “The blood of a servant, given willingly.”

Darkbine used his magic to grab the container of blood.

Darkbine chanted phase 2 “The blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

He pours the blood into the cauldron and the Cauldron’s boiling water turns blood red.

Darkbine chanted the last phase “The Element of Greed’s Bearer rises again.”

Darkbine backed away as the Cauldron began to ignite with fire. The wound where he cut himself instantly healed and the Cauldron began to turn into a figure. When the transformation ended, there stood a mare. She looked extremely like Rarity, but different. She had a white coat, bright pink mane and Tail that looked similar to Rarity’s. She wore a purple hat on her head and her CM was a pink fruit with 3 diamonds on the center of it, those diamonds looked like Rarity’s. She wore the Element of Greed around her neck and when she opened her eyes, they were similar to like Rarity’s eye color, blue. On her right hoof, she wore something similar to a gauntlet, but it was called "The Gauntlet of Greed". She began to look around until she looks at Darkbine.

The Mare asked “Darkbine?”

Darkbine replied “Hello Rarifruit.”

Rarifruit asked “How am I…alive?”

Darkbine told her “The Ritual of Recreation.”

Rarifruit understood what it was and said “Oh, I see.”

“Rarifruit, I am Danny Eclipse. And I offer you something you may like. A ‘welcome back to the land of the living’ present.”

Rarifruit looks at me as I pointed at the General of the Diamond Dog. She looks at the creature and notices he had a crown, which was a hat to her. Her eyes twitched at the sight of the crown and she used her Gauntlet of Greed to summon Demonic Hands that killed the DD General and she took the crown.

Rarifruit yelled “MINE!!!”

She smiles evilly at it and added it to her collection she had when she still roamed the world.

Rarifruit told me “I accept your offering, Danny Eclipse.”

“Come now, we must find the others.”

Darkbine said to us all “The Element of Ear-Rape is next, I believe.”

“Then let’s get moving.”

We left the palace in a hurry.

Author's Note

Rarifruit is in the land of the living! What will happen now, knowing that there is limited time now.

Element of Ear-Rape

The Next day…

I have returned to the bridge. Darkbine and Rarifruit were talking about something. Cynder was looking at the screen that showed the front of the Nemesis. I came up to Cynder and decided to talk to her.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her, concern.

Cynder replied “Oh…Just thinking about how this future war is going to end in.”

“Don’t worry; we will live through this war.”

Cynder said “Thank you Danny…”

I smiled and hugged Cynder to comfort her.

Cynder told me “You know…I never did get to tell you. Well, you see…I come from a special group of Equestria Defenders known as the Ponylorians. When I was nothing but a child, I wanted to help them defend Equestria…But going to war…”

“I see…Well, I’ll make it within my power to make sure there is NO war.”

Cynder asked “You…you mean that?”

“Yes. Unicron may not like it, but even I love Equestria and I will defend it from evil. Unicron will have to grow used to it.” I reassured her

Unicron mumbled back in disapproval “Which I may never…”

Darkbine yelled out “FOUND IT!!!”

We looked and Darkbine and went over to him. We see the beam from the emerald pointing at a place known as “Uproar Forest”.

“Uh oh…”

Darkbine asked “What?”

“Uproar Forest is in Zebra Territory. Even though we conquered that area, I fear they may alert the Phantom Consortium of our presence there. We can’t allow that.”

Darkbine said “But we have to get there!”

“You’re right…”

Cynder asked “How about we go in inside a shuttle?”

Darkbine asked “What about the Nemesis?”

“Trypticon, you are to remain cloaked from the world and stay in hiding. We will take the Rogue Shadow that I ‘borrowed’ from Meta.”

Darkbine asked “What does it do?”

“Cloaking, masks from detection.”

Rarifruit said “Sounds good to me.”

“Let’s get going…The sooner we are there, the better.”

We all nod and began to head to the Rogue Shadow.

Later…

We were approaching the Border line of the Zebra Empire. When we passed it, we continued until there were beeping.

Rarifruit asked, panicking “What does that mean?”

Darkbine asked “Have we been detected?”

“Negative. I’m detecting 3…Oh Celestia…”

The ship began to tremble and we see 3 giant square ships past us, ignoring us.

Rarifruit shouted in shock “Dear Celestia, what is THAT supposed to be!?”

“Those are…Borg Cubes.”

Darkbine said “Borg?”

“Long story short, we used Borg Nanoprobes to infected the Zebras and they became like the Borg. Adjutant, my former left hoof henchman, is the queen of them.” I explained to them

Darkbine said “I can see why you were worried…”

“Yes. Borg Technology is too advance for even many other species here.”

Rarifruit told me “I agree with you Danny, the sooner we get this done, the better.”

I nodded and made the ship go faster to the location.

We arrived to the entrance of Uproar Forest.

“Let’s head inside but be at your guard. There may be wild creatures who were borgified as well.”

We all nodded and went inside the forest. However, little did we know that some glowing eyes were already looking at us as we entered.

Rarifruit whined “That forest is so dreadful…”

“You told us that for the hundredth time…” I said, annoyed.

We had gained little ground since we didn’t know anything about this forest. However, we stopped when we heard growling.

Cynder said “Tell me I didn’t just hear that.”

“Timber Wolves…”

I activated my lightsabers, Cynder pulled out her pistol blasters, Darkbine morphed his right hoof into his shotgun, Rarifruit ready her magic, and Shadow readied his blades.

“Come on out, you worthless sacks of branches!”

We heard howling, they heard my insult. We see a giant pack of Timber Wolves come out, baring their teeth. We were surprise to see that weren’t borgified. They charged at us and we countered them. I cut them down with ease, Cynder blasted their twigs off, Darkbine shot them to a pile of broken wood, and both Rarifruit and Shadow cut them down, Rarifruit using a crystal blade. When we finished, we grinned but it was short lived when the pack leader came and roared at us.

“I’ll handle this.”

I held my ground and the Pack Leader roared at me again.

“What a weak roar! THIS is a REAL ROAR!!!"

I screamed out, but it wasn’t screaming at all. It was more like a wailing of a ghost, my traditional attack: The Ghostly Wail. The Wail hit the Pack Leader and began to tear him apart. When I finished, the pack leader was nothing but broken twigs and branches.

“I’m the Alpha! No one dares to challenge me!!”

I smirked in my victory and we pressed on.

Rarifruit whispered to Darkbine “Remind me to never get on his bad side…”

Darkbine chuckles at Rarifruit’s whisper. We began to press on, going deeper into the forest.

Darkbine told us “I can sense the Element is close by…”

We had made it to a rocky terrain, we were climbing. We eventually made it to the top and we see a giant cave. But we didn’t expect to see was that we saw a Ursa Major and a Ursa Minor.

“Oh great, please tell me it isn’t in there.”

Darkbine told me “Our bad luck because it is.”

“Damn it! How are we going to deal with THAT!?!” I shouted.

Cynder told me “Hey, we faced worse. Remember the Gorog?”

“We could chain it! This is entirely different!”

Cynder teased “Are you chickening out, Danny?”

“Me…chicken?”

Cynder replied “Why yes. You are so great and powerful, this makes it puny against you.”

My eyes began to glow purple as my medallion began to spark with power.

Cynder teased again “Why, I bet even Charming Thunder could beat it.”

Darkbine agreed “I agree!”

Rarifruit agreed too, not getting though “I third that!”

“No…pony…calls…me…WEAK!!!"

A purple beam shoots to the sky. The Ursa Major noticed it and began to growl. Then it sees me in my Dark Super form and could sense the evil radiating me. I growled back at it.

“Bring it Pup!” I shouted in my demonic voice.

I charged at it. The Major tried to claw at me but missed. I managed to appear in front of its face and I kicked it away, deeper into the cave. I growled and went after it, preparing to show it that I am the true alpha here. Darkbine and Rarifruit gulped.

Darkbine said to them “Yeah, I’ll take up to that reminder.”

Rarifruit reassured them “At least I’m not his enemy…”

Cynder said “Come on, while Danny distracts it!”

They nodded and they went to get to the element.

I was now arm wrestling the Major now, for some odd reason. Even though it was bigger than me, I was holding my own.

“Tell me again: why we are arm wrestling?” I asked curiously.

The Major shrugged and I won the arm wrestling.

“That was fun. Best two out of three?” I asked.

The Major snarled and went to attack again. We went to attacking again. I managed to block the attacks that the Major made. I kicked it in the face, making the nose of the beast broken a bit. The Major went to strike me again but missed. I began to dance and the beast tried to hit me but it was missing.

“Now this is just getting ridiculous.” I said, chuckling while break dancing.

My dancing and dodging made the Major extremely angry and it kept trying it hit me. I stopped and made 8 clones and we drilled holes into the ground. I dismissed them and I began to stick my head out of 1 hole and the Major tried to hit me, but missed. I did it again and the Major missed. Again, again, and again and the Major kept missing.

“Welcome to Whac-A-Mole, Fillies and Gentlecolts.” I shouted for no reason.

I kept laughing like a maniac, enjoying this greatly while the Major was hitting where my head appeared, always missing.

Darkbine had made the ritual circle. Rarifruit and Cynder came back with the Element of Ear-Rape. Darkbine performed the chanting and when he finished, the same results happened and a figure came to form. The figure looked a lot like Fluttershy but a bit different. She had the same coat as Fluttershy, but her mane was blood red, her tail was white. Her left eye was blue, right eye was blood red with some red marking around the eye. She wore the same Hat from Cat and the hat. Her Element was a butterfly that was Black with the jewel being half blue-green and the other half blood red. Also, her CM was Butterflies that was white that some loud speakers on them and some blood splats on it. She blinked and looked at Rarifruit.

The Mare asked “Rarifruit?”

Rarifruit said “Hello Fluttershout, glad to see you back in the land of the living.”

Fluttershout said, angry “Where’s Discord? I want to scream so loud so that he will grow deaf and never hear music again!”

Darkbine told her “Discord is later, but right now we have to help Danny! He could be in so much trouble!”

“Go fish.” I said to the Major, holding my deck of cards.

The Major draw a card from the deck.

“Uh, do you have a tiger?” I asked.

The Major gave me the card it had. It had 1 more card left.

“Do you have…a…shark?” I guessed.

The Major groaned in defeat and hand me the card. I cried out in victory. We then heard hoof steps and we see the others come along and were awe shock to see me play a game of “Go Fish” with the Ursa Major.

“Aw, are we already finished with busy? Sorry Major, but we have to get going. Hopefully, I’ll be able to come back and we can continue to play “Go Fish” or we could play poker.” I told the Ursa Major

We left the cave and the Major waved us goodbye. I couldn’t help but smile and laugh as we left, leaving the others in awe shock.

Author's Note

Who would have known that Ursa Major's knew how to play Go Fish!? LOL! :rainbowlaugh: Anyway, that is all for now. Hope you enjoy!

Element of Bloodlust

A few days later…

I was happy and annoyed to know that Endario was married to Rarifruit a month ago during her unleashed upon the world. They have been spending a lot of time together since they reunited. Applepills has been raiding our medical supplies a lot, mainly taking…well…pills. I had to lock away the pills now, me only having the key. I made it to the bridge and that was when I see Darkbine whooping everywhere. I looked at the others, Fluttershout and Applepills. I looked at the star map and the emerald was pointed a red beam at a place labeled “Bloody Valley”. I was confused to wonder why Darkbine was so excited so I went to talk to Fluttershout and Applepills.

“Why is he bouncing around like he had too much sugar?” I asked them.

Fluttershout replied to me “Well, you see. The color of the beam is the element. Darkbine located the Element of Bloodlust, Pinkis’s Element.”

“Pinkis…”

I closed my eyes, wondering where I’ve heard that name before…

[Flashback]

Darkbine said “I am Darkbine, Seeker of Insanity, Leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and Pinkis Cupcake’s Boyfriend.”

[Flashback ended]

“Pinkis Cupcake…his girlfriend?”

Applepills said “Indeed. How’d you know?”

“He told me when we first met.”

Fluttershout said “Pinkis is one of the most dangerous in the world, besides Rainbine and Brutalight.”

“I can’t wait to see them.”

Fluttershout replied “Well, there is also something else. Pinkis is considered the Daughter of Rarifruit since she has Rarifruit’s son inside her.”

“Spirit?”

Applepills confirmed “Yes.”

“Let’s go there then. The path is dangerous though, no wonder he wants to go quickly.”

We began to rush out and Darkbine came with us. We interrupted Rarifruit and Endario in the hallway.

Rarifruit asked us “What’s happening?”

“We found the Element of Bloodlust.”

Rarifruit shouted in shock “Pinkis!?”

Darkbine told her “I’m going to get her back and no pony is going to stop me!”

Rarifruit told him “I’ll come with you.”

Endario told us “I’ll stay here on the ship.”

“Alright. Trypticon, set course to Bloody Valley, full speed!”

Trypticon replied “UNDERSTOOD!”

The Nemesis changed course, heading to Bloody Valley, which was located in Griffin Territory.

We arrived, undetected. Me and the others, not including Endario, left the ship and began to travel across the Canyon.

“This may be a recovery mission, but we must focus on our guard. In this place, the animal life is more dangerous. There is a dragon here known as Screaming Death, known for killing anypony who dare enters this place. Discord wants to make sure this element was under heavy guard so the dragon will protect it like it was its treasure.”

Darkbine said “Let it come.” His right hoof morphs into his shotgun “It can taste my lead.”

I pulled out my lightsabers, ready to kill any uninvited dragons.

Later…

We had gotten deeper, our weapons still waiting for the attack of the Screaming Death. Finally, there was a giant roared of a dragon.

“Here it comes!” I warned them.

Sure enough, on cue, there was a giant white dragon coming right at us. We began to run, heading into a nearby cave and kept running. Darkbine’s ear buds began to beep.

Darkbine said “She’s nearby.”

“Darkbine, Rarifruit, and Applepills; you 3 head and recover the Element of Bloodlust. Shadow, Cynder, and Fluttershout; you 3 are with me. We need to buy them some time.”

Cynder told us “I’ve always wanted to fight a dragon.”

We split off. The Dragon gave chase to me and my four companions.

Team 2 had arrived to the target and sees the Element in the middle of room. Darkbine rushed over and grabbed the element. He uses his magic to recreate the Ritual of Recreation. He throws the Element of Bloodlust into the boiling watered cauldron. Next, he cuts himself and puts some of his blood into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted “The Blood of the Servant, given willingly.”

He pulled out a container of Pinkie Pie’s Blood and pours it into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted phase 2 “The Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

Darkbine began to back off when the cauldron ignited in flames.

Darkbine shouted “The Element of Bloodlust’s bearer rises again.”

The Cauldron began to take form of a figure. When the transformation ended, the figure appearance was similar to Pinkie Pie when she was Pinkamena Diana Pie. Her coat was dark pink, her mane and tail were straight and blood red. Her eye color was teal and were insanely small. Her CM was 3 cupcakes, 2 red and 1 yellow. There was a trail of blood heading down like balloons. There was a Blood P on the top cupcake, the yellow cupcake. Her element was around her neck and the gold was black and her jewel was still a balloon but it was Blood Red. She opened her eyes and groaned a bit.

The Mare askes “Ugh…Where am I?”

Rarifruit and Darkbine said in unison “PINKIS!!”

Pinkis immediately sat up and sees Darkbine.

Pinkis shouted, happy “Darkbine!”

They embrace into a hug. They stop hugging and Rarifruit and Pinkis hugged each other.

Pinkis asked “How am I alive?”

Applepills replied “Darkbine brought you back to life with the Ritual of Recreation, as he did to us all.”

Pinkis turned to me and said “Thank you Darkbine.”

The two nuzzled each other but were interrupted when they heard Fluttershout’s screaming.

Pinkis asked “Fluttershout?”

Rarifruit gasped and remembered “Oh, we almost forgot the others! Pinkis, are you hungry?”

At the word “hungry”, she grinned and layed on the ground and left in a *click*

Back with me and the others…

I’ll admit, Fluttershout’s screaming was loud but wasn’t enough to stop the Screaming Death. I couldn’t get close without getting attack by fire.

“Well, looks like it’s the end of-“ I trailed off by-

*Click*

I looked and heard howling like a hunter from L4D. There, we see Pinkis jumping at the creature and managing to get on it. Pinkis held on and smiled evilly as she took a bite into the creature. The dragon roared in pain and we see the others here.

Darkbine said to us “That’s the Pinkis I know and love.”

“Come on! If we lure it to the outside, it will have to fight Trypticon!”

We nodded in agreement and Pinkis heard it. She got off and we began to run. The Screaming Death roared and gave chase. We managed to get into the opening and it came out.

“Trypticon, open fire on the dragon!” I ordered.

Trypticon replies “TRYPTICON ACKNOWLEDGES.”

Trypticon transformed and roared at the dragon then it fired the Triple Beam Cannon at the Dragon, blowing it up. When he finished, Trypticon transformed back into the Nemesis. We got back on board the Nemesis, now leaving 2 elements left to find.

Author's Note

Well, Pinkis has joined the fray and we are going to have murders soon. God, what have I have gotten myself into? Celestia and Luna, Help me. :facehoof:

Element of Cybernetics and HK-47

The next day…

I was in my bedroom, awake after remember my time with Rainbow Dash before Order 66. Back then, Charming Thunder and I were best of pals. But much has changed since those days, brother with brother. I knew Charming was my brother, thanks to Clockwork, but charming never knew me as his brother. But we were best friends and we normally never fight. We got along so well back then…but now? Rainbow and I would do pranks. I remember that one time when we kissed in the barn of Sweet Apple Acres. No one saw us do it and we entered a secret relationship but after what happened at Order 66, when she begged me to join the NLR, I refused because it wasn’t right. I told Charming what my mother had done before heading into hiding. Charming understood why and I left, telling no one where I would hide. I had some compassion in my heart to feel sorry for him after what happened with his hoof. My train of thought was interrupted when there was a beep on my door.

“Yes?” I asked

Applepills voice replied from the other side of the door “Danny, Darkbine has located the Element of Cybernetics. We are taking the Rogue Shadow because the location was where Regal Crescent met his downfall.”

“Good. I’m looking forward to that place. I heard Revan had created an assassin droid that I favor a lot. HK-47, he was destroyed by Charming but I have already made him a new body. One that would suit him well.”

I opened the door and left the bedroom. I went onto the bridge with Applepills and saw the other bearers there. Pinkis was talking with Darkbine, Rarifruit and Endario were kissing again, Fluttershout and Cynder were talking.

“Alright, I’m going with a small team. There are too many members so we need to divide and conquer.”

Endario said “So, what do we do?”

“Pinkis and Darkbine, you two are with me. The rest of you will remain here.”

They nodded and both Pinkis and Darkbine followed me to Regal Crescent’s Lair.

The Rogue Shadow landed in Revan’s Lair. The landing ramp lowered and we went off the ship. When we reached the door, I ripped it open with the force. We stepped inside and began to look about the place.

“Poor Revan, he was a mighty warrior.”

A ghostly male voice said “Who dares come here?”

I lifted my hoof and they stopped. Suddenly, the spirit of Regal Crescent appeared in front of me. Unlike most spirits, his spirit was red, for evil and dark side.

“Hello Regal Crescent. My name is Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra. I’m here to salvage what was left of your remains. I’m here to bring back a small fragment of your old legacy. I’m here to bring back the Hunter Killer Droids.” I told him.

Regal Crescent shouted “You dare do that!?”

“Regal, your body is dead but your soul remains. I’ll need your soul in case of things.”

Regal thought for a moment then replied “…fine. I shall do it, since you are the only pony who can match against Charming Thunder.”

I pulled out a Soul Gem and Regal’s soul went inside it.

“Alright. Darkbine and Pinkis, you two are to find the Element. I’ll recover the HK series.”

Pinkis asked “Why recover those things?”

“Because, I was trained under a spirit known as Darth Revan.”

They looked at each other and nodded. We split up, beginning our search.

I made it to where HK-47 had died in. I could see his pony droid body, destroyed. I smiled evilly and the new body appeared next to me. I connected the head of HK-47 to the new body with a cord and began to download HK-47’s A.I. into the new body. When it finished, the new HK-47 opened its eyes and looked at me.

“Hello HK-47, my name is Danny Eclipse. I’m your new master now because I brought you back to life. And it is part of your program.”

HK-47 said “Statement: I thank you for recovering me. So, what is my new directive?”

“You are to serve me faithfully without question. Besides, you will be working for me in a long time.”

HK-47 replied “Statement: Understood master.”

“Good. Let’s recover the rest of the HK-50s and get their blueprints.”

HK-47 nodded and we left to do just that.

Darkbine and Pinkis found the Element of Cybernetics and prepared the ritual of recreation. Darkbine puts the Element into the boiling cauldron. He cut himself once again and a few drops of his blood go into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted “Blood of the servant, given willingly.”

Darkbine summons the container of Rainbow’s blood.

Darkbine chanted again “Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

He pours it into the cauldron and the cauldron ignited into flames.

Darkbine said “The Element of Cybernetics’s bearer rises again!”

The cauldron forms into a figure. She looked like Rainbow a lot but a bit different. Her coat was still Cyan but a bit paler. Her mane and tail was still rainbow color, her eyes were still normal but insanely small. She had metal ear-horns like Darkbine. Her CM was a metal cloud with a grey/green/black lightning strike. The Green had some wiring marks on it. The mare opened her eyes and began to look around at her surrounds until she sees Pinkis and Darkbine.

The mare said, her Cyborg voice was from the Rainbine meets a worthy adversary “Pinkis! Darkbine!”

Pinkis said “Rainbine!”

Darkbine added “Well, that makes 5 of 6 EOIs return.”

Rainbine asked “Wait, who else is free?”

Darkbine told her “Rarifruit, Fluttershout, and Applepills.”

Before Rainbine could reply, there was a noise nearby and they looked and see 6 teenager dragons: Garble, Fume, Clump, Fizzle, Baff, and Vex. The 6 looked at the 3 Ponies and gasped.

Garble said “Well, if it isn’t Spike’s old pen-pals. But, what happened to them?”

Rainbine asked “Who in Celestia’s Mane are you? Oh wait, is that you Garble?”

Garble asked “Well, you remember me?”

Pinkis asked “Who are the party crashers? Can I eat them?”

The teenager dragons shivered when they heard Pinkis say that.

Fume said in disbelief “You, eat us?”

“What’s going on here!?”

I came in with HK-47 and a squad of HK-50s. We looked at the teenage dragons and frown.

“Who are these morons?”

Garble shouted “Who are you calling ‘morons’!?”

“Are they deaf too?”

Garble shouted “That’s it! Kill him!”

Before they could even move, the HKs raised their blasters at them.

Garble said nervously “…Or we could talk about this…”

“Nope, kill them.”

The HKs fired their blasters. When the 6 teenage dragons fall to the ground, dead, I ordered the HKs to hide the bodies and we left.

Darkbine said “All there is left is the Element of Insanity…”

Rainbine added “Brutalight’s Element…”

“She will have to wait.”

Pinkis, Darkbine, and Rainbine shouted in unison “WHAT!?!”

“My spies had already told me where her element is at. It’s at the Canterlot Vault, one of the most high security vaults. No Pony but Discord will recognized the missing element. We must organize entire team before we can proceed.”

Rainbine asked “Ok, how many other pony freaks will we need?”

“Darkbine, I need you to find individuals who are ready for the blessing of insanity. While you do that, I’ve already know of 6 others who were formerly given the blessing and lost it.” I ordered.

Pinkis asked “Who is your first target?”

I began to think about who I should target first and smiled when I found out which one.

“I think it’s time for me to pay a visit to my dear old friend…Sunset Shimmer.” I replied “After all, it’s been so long since I last saw her face as Celestia’s Student. Now, she is nothing but dead weight to them.”

Pinkis said “What exactly happened to Sunset?”

“Simple: I was the one who turned her to the Dark Side…”

Author's Note

Duh, duh, duh! It was Danny who drove Sunset into Equestria High! What a shocker! :pinkiegasp: And the next chapter will be when he makes his way to Equestria High. You'll be surprise how he does it.

New Allies

The next day…

I was near Twilight’s New Castle. For a place this big, there were literally no guards. However, there were a lot of soldiers in Ponyville for some odd reason. I managed to get past security without being detected and got into the castle. When I got inside, I noticed the magic mirror and smiled. I used my telekinesis to levitate the book that Twilight used to talk with Sunset and put it on the devise that Twilight had made for the dimensional travel. When I finished, I smiled and walked into the mirror. Hopefully, no pony will notice the book on the mirror.

I came out of the other side of the mirror and looked at myself through the reflection of the mirror. I was a teenage boy now. I wore a white shirt that had my medallion’s symbol of it on the front of it. I had a black hoodie on with my CM on the back of it. I wore black pants and wore black and white shoes. I looked at my hands and saw they had black biker gloves that were fingerless. My medallion was still around my neck, thankfully. I checked the pouch I had with me and it still had the Sphere of Insanity inside it. I also had a dagger with me for the ritual of recreation. All there is now was to find Sunset Shimmer. I check my pelt and saw my lightsabers were still there. I smiled evilly and began to make my way to the school in front of me.

A female’s voice said in anger “We are a disgrace!”

I had entered a hallway and hid immediately. I peeked around the corner and see 3 girls. Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk; The Dazzlings. I stayed quiet to see what the fuss was all about.

Aria said “All because that teenager stopped us! And not to mention, Charming and Twilight got rid of our necklaces! The only thing that kept us as Sirens!”

I was shocked. The Sirens, here! After so many years, they been here! I smiled evilly, knowing that this trip was more worth it than I previously thought. But Charming Thunder destroyed their powers, that I had to fix. I began to clap and they went into alert. I came out of the shadows, my eyes glowing but they couldn’t tell.

Adagio demanded “Who are you!?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble. As a matter of fact, I’m here to help you.” I replied

Aria demand “What do you know about us!?”

“Enough to know that this trip was worth it.”

Sonata asked “Trip?”

“Oh yes, you don’t know me. Well, I’m from Equestria, ladies.”

The 3 gasped but kept to their guard.

“From what I heard of your argument and fit, you are angry at Charming for ruining your lives and powers.”

Adagio said “You heard right…”

“Well, I’m from Equestria. I’m the only one among us who can truly take you back to Equestria. But first, I must have a deal made.”

Aria started to say “Why would we-“

Adagio said “Wait Aria! Continue, we want to hear your proposal.”

I smiled evilly and replied “Allow me to introduce myself.” I bow to them “My name is Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra, and Brother to Charming Thunder. But unlike my foolish brother, my allegiance is to the Dark Side and Unicron alone.”

Sonata asked “Unicron?”

My medallion began to glow and they were taken back in surprise. They see my eyes had changed to purple.

“Unicron the Destroyer, the living being inside my medallion. He and I don’t get along well, but together, we are unstoppable. Most call me a Sith, bringer of evil. But I call myself a hero. ‘Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.’ That is the code of the Sith, unlike the Jedi. My masters, mighty sith lords, taught me everything I know now.”

Adagio said, intrigued “Interesting…”

“Indeed. But for now, do you want to be my allies or not?”

The girls left to think about it and came back.

Adagio said “We need our necklaces back to normal.”

“Where are they at?”

Sonata said “In the main office, with Principle Celestia.”

Hearing the name “Celestia” made me grin.

“I’ll take care of it. Meet me at the stage outside where band goes to play, I’ll get those necklaces back.”

Adagio asked “How?”

Suddenly, a mask appeared in front of me.

“The Mask of Darth Revan. It disguises my appearance and alter my voice to sound dark and evil.”

Aria said “Well, see you later then.”

They left and I put on the mask. A black aura surrounded me and I changed. I wore a black cloak, my mask showing and not my face. My hood was up and I wore everything Revan looked like. I began to walk to the main office, ready to take what belongs to my friends.

Celestia was minding her own business. That was, until the door opened and she looked and saw a black figure enter the room. She tried to greet her but she felt something grab her throat and she began to grab her throat, trying to breath.

Voice dark and evil and I asked “Where might I find those broken necklaces of the Dazzlings?”

Celestia pointed to a box and it suddenly began to lift off the ground and into the arms of the figure. Celestia felt the pressure let go and she fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

I suddenly disappears in a flash. She knew this was going to bite her later. She touched the speaker button.

Celestia said on the speaker “All members of the Rainbooms please come to the office. It’s an emergency.”

The Dazzlings came to the show stage and remember that dreadful night when Charming and the Rainbooms defeated them. That was when they see me coming around the corner with a box.

Sonata said to me “We heard what happened. A cloaked figure comes into the main office, does some voodoo magic, and takes the box containing out necklaces. The Rainbooms are after me.”

“Good.”

Adagio demanded “How is that good!?”

“Because I’m after Sunset Shimmer. I’m after her blood to help perform the Ritual of Recreation.”

Aria asked “What’s the ritual of recreation?”

“Something in the darkest deeps of the Dark Side. Something no pony would dare use.”

That made them shiver. I took out my right lightsaber and cut the lock off. I opened the box and the broken pieces of the necklaces were there. I smiled and turned around, performing the spell to summon the requirements of the Ritual of Recreation. I turned to the necklaces and my medallion began to glow.

“I’ll fix and modify them.”

I raised my hands into the air and purple lightning began to radiate from there, igniting the sky with blood red clouds.

Sunset and the other girls were in the park.

Sunset shouted in frustration “We looked everywhere but couldn’t find that masked figure!”

Fluttershy said, trying to calm Sunset down “We shouldn’t give up Sunset.”

Rainbow said “What doesn’t make sense is why some figure would come into the school office and take the necklaces like that.”

Rarity replied “You’re right Rainbow. That makes no sense.”

Suddenly, they heard thundering and looked to the sky. Then they see purple lightning and red clouds swirling around the show stage where the Dazzlings were defeated at.

Sunset said “Girls, I think I know where he or she went…”

Pinkie shouted “To the Stage!”

They took off in a run.

When after some lightning conquering, a giant purple lightning bolt hit me and my eyes turned purple and white. I aimed my dark energy hands to the necklaces and they began to fix right up. When they finished fixing up, the red jewel was purple instead. The necklaces went around their owners’ necks and they were energized into the power. When I finished, me and the Dazzlings landed back on the stage. They opened their eyes and they were normal but their necklaces were glowing. They looked at them.

Adagio asked “What did you do to our necklaces?”

“I repaired them and modified them a bit. They can not only allow you to absorb negative energy but you can absorb ANY nearby negative energy. Plus, your singing is at full power now. You are more like unstoppable now.” I told them and smiled evilly.

Sonata said “I feel so….powerful.”

“Good. Now, you are bounded to serve me forever. Those necklaces make sure you do follow me now, without question.”

Adagio said to me “Of course, a deal’s a deal.”

Sunset shouted “STOP RIGHT THERE!!!”

We looked at the Rainbooms as they came to the Stage Audience. They gasped when they saw the necklaces repaired and around the Dazzlings necks.

Adagio said “Sunset Shimmer…”

Aria shouted “Time for payback!”

They were about to attack until I motion them to stop. They wanted to protest but they knew if they did so they stopped.

“Hello Sunset Shimmer…”

Sunset asked “Who are you?”

“Aw, you don’t remember me? I’m hurt, you know.”

Rainbow said “Sunset, what is he talking about?”

Sunset replied “I have no idea…”

“Maybe I should refresh your mind…”

I smiled evilly and showed her my medallion. She was curious about it.

“Remember me? ‘The dark side of Magic is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural…’ and your response was ‘Is it possible to learn such power?’ and I replied-“

Sunset said, remember that encounter of the stranger the same night she left Equestia "Not from Celestia…"

I smiled evilly as her eyes narrowed.

Sunset said, fearful “You…”

“Ah, you DO remember. Good…”

Rainbow asked again “Sunset, who is he!?”

Sunset said “He’s…the one who turned me to the dark side…”

The Rainbooms and Dazzlings gasped, realizing that I had a part in this.

“Good…you remember.”

Sunset shouted at me “I learned from my mistakes, you must see that the dark side is nothing but evil and cruel!”

“Charming is weak! He knows nothing of true power! I use this power to protect Equestria!”

I put my hand into the pouch and pulled out the dagger.

Sunset said “What? Are you going to kill me?”

“Oh, you sadly mistaken…”

I pulled out a red sphere from my pouch and drop it into the boiling cauldron. I took out a container of blood and poured it into the cauldron.

“Blood of the servant, given willingly.”

I used the force to grab Sunset and lifted her to me. She panicked and I cut her left arm, making the other Rainbooms gasped in horror. I dripped the blood into the cauldron and healed Sunset’s wound before sending her to the others.

“Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

The cauldron ignited into flames and I backed away.

“The Recreation of Insanity Rises!”

A figure began to form from the cauldron. When the figure finished transforming and landed on the ground. It was a female teenager human who looked a lot like Sunset. She had red and blue hair, red shirt with some sort of symbol on her center of the shirt. She wore a black jacket, blue skirt where her shorts were at. Her boots were black and red. She had peach skin with blue markings everywhere on her body. She opened her eyes, revealing her left eye was green while the other was blood red. She began to look at me.

The Girl asked “Wha-Where am I?”

“Welcome back to the land of the living…Painset Shimmercakes...”

Sunset gasped at Painset as Painset began to remember what happened to her and smiled evilly as she began to laugh like a maniac.

Painset shouted gleefully “Oh yes, I remember it all now! That cursed Discord ridding of my existence! I’ll show him!”

“Revenge is for later. For now, we must return to Equestria.”

Sunset said “You are not going anywhere!”

“Says you.”

My medallion began to glow and unleashed a burst that pushed the girls back.

“We would love to stay and chat, but we must return to Equestia!”

We began to run to the mirror portal and we went inside it.

When we came from the other side, I sealed off the way there. I put the book back and teleported us to the Nemesis.

Author's Note

So, we now have Painset AND the new Dazzlings! What will happen next, only time can tell!

Charming’s Coronation

2 days later…

I smiled as I went into the wardrobe chamber to grab a black cloak. Today was my brother’s coronation…Charming’s coronation. I thought I should at least go to it since it’s been so long. I arrived to the bridge where the others were at. Painset was an Alicorn, peach skin with blue markings. Her eyes, mane, and tail remained the same. Her CM was a spot of blood with container of something with a helmet on. The Dazzlings were ponies too and not Sirens, to my surprise. Adagio was a dull colored yellow with yellow and orange mane and tail. Her eyes were magenta or semi-red and pink. Her CM was 3 orange emeralds. She had some holding her mane together and it had spikes. Aria was an Earth Pony too but she had dull purple coat, purple and green mane and tail. She had dark purple eyes, stars that bind her mane together to make 2 ponytails. Her CM was a music note with a star in front of it. Sonata was an Earth Pony as well with a dull cyan coat. Her mane and tail were Cyan and dark blue. She had made herself a ponytail as well. Her eye color was lavender. Her CM was a heart with a music note in front of it. The Dazzlings didn’t like their new bodies at first but they got to know it better. They even tested to see if they could still sing super well and to their surprise, they could.

“You remember the plan, right?”

Rainbine said “Yes. You got the day off today and we have to get the new members.”

Darkbine said “I perform the ritual of recreation for our last 5 former members and perform the ritual of insanity for the other members.”

Pinkis said “I get the blood of the Pegasus named Derpy.”

“Try not to hurt her in the process.” I added.

Rarifruit said “I have to get the blood of Sweetie Bell.”

Applepills said “I have to get the blood of AppleBloom.”

Rainbine said “I have to get the blood of Scootaloo.”

Painset said “I have to get the blood of Trixie.”

Darkbine said “And I need to grab individuals who are worthy of the blessing.”

“Good. Now, I’m off to see my brother’s coronation.”

They said their goodbyes before I took my fighter, the Soulless One, and head to Canterlot…

I arrived to Canterlot and got out of my ship. A few guards arrived to meet me.

1 of the Guards said “Ah, you must be Mr. Smith. Am I correct?”

“Indeed. Can you please escort me to Canterlot Castle.”

The same guard replied “Yes sir.”

They began to escort me to the Castle while some workers began to take my fighter to a safe location.

I made it to the castle and I was welcomed inside. When I walked inside, there was a meeting inside a chamber. I managed to slip away from the party and went to listen to the conversation inside the chamber. I heard my daughter’s voice, Dusk!

Dusk said, from a communicator from the sound of it “…All Loyalist who are still loyal to my father are to report to Equestria. The Nemesis is receiving the same code and Father will be alerted about the change of development."

Next thing I hear was Meta, which surprised me more.

Meta said "How much do we have before Lightning strikes Equestria?"

Dusk replied "A month, maybe more."

I was enraged now. Lightning, taking control over MY Phantom Consortium! When I see her again, I was planning to cut her head off in front of all the traitors! My train of thought was interrupted when I heard Celestia’s voice.

Celestia said to Meta "Metamorphosis, you have a lot to explain to do,"

Meta told her "All will be explained later. For now, we must prepare for war."

I left the door as the chamber doors opened and both Queen Chrysalis and King Metamorphosis left the chamber. I smirked and go after them. The couple got far enough away from other ponies.

Meta shouted “I can’t believe it! Danny is going to be pissed when he hears about Lightning taking over the Consortium. I should have been there!”

Chrysalis said to him, trying to comfort him “Love, you were protecting your own hive and kin from that battle. Danny wouldn’t blame you for doing such a deed-“

“I would have congratulated you for doing the right thing.” I said from behind them.

They stopped cold and turned to see me with the hood up, but they saw my eyes and smirk.

Meta said nervously “L-Lord Danny…”

Chrysalis asked “How long have you been here?”

“I’ve actually went through the door a few minutes ago. I just arrived. I’m here to see my brother’s coronation.”

Meta asked, hoping for some instructions “What should we do?”

I began to think and then I knew it was time for the truth to come out.

“Tell them about the Phantom Consortium. But do not mention me, I like to surprise them.” I said to them.

Meta told me “We also did an Equestrian-Changeling Alliance.”

I smiled, but it wasn’t evil, it was a happy one and said “Good. Equestria will be entering a dark war soon and they will need all the help they can get.”

Meta asked “Dark War?”

“A Prophecy I had discovered during my quest. ‘The Dawning of Darkness’ as it is called. I managed to figure more out of it and discovered that the Vamponies are returning. In the time of darkness, 2 sons of darkness must rise up and fight together, uniting 2 mighty empires to combat the new evil. Or in this case, Me and Charming must fight together against this new threat.”

Chrysalis said “The Phantom Consortium is 3 mighty empires made into 1 while the Equestria has only 1 ally. This makes the world target this new threat.”

“No. The Minotaurs and Zebras are to not get involve. Only the Phantom Consortium, Primal Changelings, Equestria Empire, and Chrysalis’s Hive are to unite as one and fight this new evil.”

Chrysalis said “Alright. Working together as one…this is going to be a great war, isn’t it?”

“Indeed, but together, we can take anypony down.”

Meta asked “So you have been seeking this Prophecy?”

“Not just that but to also make it come true. The scripts told me that Harmony and Insanity must unite as one against the darkness.”

Meta asked “Harmony and Insanity?”

“It means that the Mane 6 will be aided by their Inverted selves, The Demented 6. For many days now, I’ve been reuniting and bringing back the Demented 6. All there is left is for Princess Brutalight but her element is inside Canterlot Vault. A few days before the invasion, I plan to raid it by having Rainbine, Pinkis, and Applepills disguise themselves as the Mane 6 and raid it. While I don’t like framing the 3 of 6, it must be done. I’ll have their charges released when I return.”

Meta said “Ok…”

“Don’t tell the Princesses or anypony for that matter. I’ll tell of it when we return.”

Chrysalis promised me “Alright, you have our word.”

“Now if you excuse me, I have to party to take part in.”

They nod and I left to see the coronation.

The Next Day…

I was in the crowd, waiting for the coronation to start. Finally, after a few minutes later, it began.

"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today in celebration of a hero," Celestia said. "A hero who stood up against the forces of evil and saved countless lives dozens of times. He even saved my sister Luna at the start. But today, he has proven himself worthy to do what his father Sombra could've done. It is my great pleasure to present to you all, Charming Thunder, the new king of harmony."

The Doors opened and I saw Charming Thunder coming inside the Throne Room with a black cape on. I was tearing up a bit to see my brother getting crowned King. He arrived to the front steps and he kneeled down to the Princesses. Luna used her magic to levitated the metallic silver crown that Charming’s Cutie Mark in front of it onto his head. He got up and turned to the crowd.

"Long live King Charming Thunder!!" Me and the Crowd said in unison.

We cheered and Charming raised his gloved hoof, making us stop.

Charming said to the crowd "Citizens of Equestria. Yesterday, the Empire was victorious. Slade, no longer a threat. His desperate attack on the peaceful town of Ponyville has failed. The reign of terror is finally come to an end. My mother, a once proud queen has died and I intend to finish what she and my father started. Now is the time for peace and harmony."

An army of new troopers with new armor came into the room.

Charming shouted "Now is the time for safe and securer society."

The army kept marching as TIE Bombers fired their torpedoes and made fireworks. I waited until Charming’s meeting with his friends and family was over and when he began to make his way out, I greeted him but kept my hood low so he wouldn’t recognize me.

“Congratulations on your coronation. You know, I plan to join in battle with you soon, my King.”

Charming said to me “And I shall enjoy having you by my side in battle civilian.”

“Likewise…”

Charming left after our meeting.

“…my brother.”

I stopped Rainbow before she could leave the room.

“Can I talk with you in private?”

Rainbow said “Sorry but-“

“Please.”

Rainbow began to think about it before she nodded and we went into a chamber and I locked the chamber.

Rainbow asked “So what is this about?”

“Hello to you too, Dashie.”

I lowered my hood and Rainbow gasped in shock and she hugged me.

Rainbow shouted “Ohmygoshohmygosh, you’re back!”

I hugged her back as well and when we finished, Rainbow was breathing slightly faster and then she kissed me. I was surprise but didn’t deny it. I kissed back and when we finished kissing, she pulled back, panting softly.

Rainbow said “I missed you so much. I didn’t stop thinking about you and made sure the others never notice it. You have no idea how much I missed you.”

“I never stopped thinking about you either. It hurt me to be away from you for so long but now, we are together for the moment.”

Rainbow asked, sad “Wait, you’re leaving?”

“Only for a month. I’ll be closer than you think but I must ready my team to help you on the battle to defend Canterlot from Lightning Dust.”

Rainbow asked “So you will be there for me?”

“I’ll be close, don’t worry.”

Rainbow said “When you get back…”

“Before we continue, I want to ask you something.”

Rainbow asked “What is it?”

I smirked and kneeled down to her. I pulled out a black box and opened it, revealing a silver ring with a lovely sapphire on it.

“Will you marry me?” I asked her

Rainbow gasped at the ring and hugged me.

Rainbow said to me “I was hoping you would ask me. I never had the courage to ask you.”

I smiled even more, knowing that when I return, I would get married. We kissed once again before I left her with the ring and she was crying with happy tears.

Rainbow said “I have to tell my friends when he returns.”

I was on top of a roof, looking down at the ground as Charming was waving to the crowd. Some blue mist left my mouth and looked as I see 3 spirits appeared on the roof of the Castle Roof. Sombra turned his head and sees me without my hood, waving to him.

“I’ll be seeing you around, father!!” I shouted to him before falling off the roof.

Starswirl and Amidala looked to me as I left without them seeing me.

Amidala asked “Dear, who was that?”

Sombra told her “That was…Charming Twin Brother.”

Amidala gasped at what she heard.

Sombra said “For some odd reason, Luna was pregnant the exact same time as I impregnated you. The results were both children had my DNA so they were twin brothers of the same father but different mother.”

Starswirl asked “Should we tell Charming?”

Sombra said “…Not yet. I feel that Danny will show himself to Charming when the time is right. I feel it will be soon, I’m sure.”

Author's Note

Shocking, isn't it? To know that Danny was at Charming's coronation! And even more that Rainbow is getting married to him! There will be a few more chapter back then I shall proceed to Phantom War IV: Dawning of Darkness!

Team Insanity Assembled

Many Days later, 3 days before the invasion…

I was on the bridge.

“Alright everypony, you know the plan! Applepills, Rainbine, and Pinkis: You three are going to break into the Top Security Vault of Canterlot and steal the Element of Insanity. Scorpion and Masquerade, you two will keep the transport ready for delivery. During their escape, Infected and Inferno will make a distraction to halt the guards from stopping the transport. Once we have the Element of Insanity, we will revive Princess Brutalight and we must be ready to mobilize to help Equestria from Lightning’s Consortium. This mission is Priority One and MUST NOT FAIL!!” I explained to them.

Rainbine replied “Understood.”

“Let’s get started.”

The Team began to depart onto the Rogue Shadow and they went to Canterlot, ready to complete this priority one mission.

They arrived to their destination and began to head into position.

Some guards were protecting the entrance the entrance of the crystal caverns that lead underground where the Vault was located. Rainbine, Pinkis, and Applepills were around the corner of the houses. Rainbine made the signal and the three’s appearances changed to Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack. Rainbow made the signal to move forward and they did.

1 of the Guards said “Halt, Squad Commander Rainbow. Why are you here?”

Rainbine, her voice disguised as Rainbow’s voice, said “I’m here to take something out of the Vault.”

The 2nd Guard replied “You have no authority to do that.”

Pinkis replied, using Pinkie Pie’s Voice “We were told to take the object from the vault by Discord.”

The 1st Guard replied “Discord has no authority here.”

Applepills replied, using Applejack’s voice “Now lissen hyar. We need t'git into th' thet vault t'make th' extryckshun.”

The 2nd Guard replied “Well, we can’t let you do that. Come back when you have the Princesses’ or King Charming Thunder’s permission.”

Rainbine said “Oh well, don’t say we didn’t warn you.”

Before the guards knew it, Rainbine knocked them to the ground and knocked them out cold. Pinkis heads to the panel and opens the door. Applepills hands them a Holowan Mechanicals Electrostaff and they took them. They activated them and went inside the cavern. Outside, Infected was on a roof of a building, watching.

Infected said on the communicator “They are inside the cavern.”

The three began to go deep into the complex as they kept dodging and shocking guards they came across. They only knocked out guards, not killing them. Soon, they arrived to the door of the vault room and Rainbine placed the bomb and it exploded when they got into cover. They charged inside and saw a lot of things. They saw gold coins, jewels, even some relics. They went inside the place and that was when they see it. Behind it all was the Element of Insanity. It was black instead of gold, the 6 pointed star was purple and there were some purple rubies among the crown. They grabbed it and put it into the pouch they had and began to run for it.

Meanwhile with Charming, the Princesses, Discord, Meta, and Chrysalis.

Charming said “We must ready the troops to deploy and position themselves, ready to repel any ground forces.”

Meta told them “The grand army of the Phantom Consortium is massive, I think bigger than your military.”

Luna replied “We must be ready for anything. We have to contact our allies across the-“

Suddenly, Discord began to glow yellow and his eyes widen with terror.

Discord said in pure terror “Oh no…”

Celestia asked “What is it?”

Discord shouted, dead serious now “The vault is being raided! We have to stop that raiding party before they get away!”

They all gasped and Charming turned to the troops.

Charming said “Get any nearby troops and stop that party!”

Discord told the in a dead serious tone “Charming, Princesses, we have to see to this matter personally. They stole something that shouldn’t have ever been touched.”

Charming and the Princesses looked at each other. They never had seen Discord dead serious before, so this must be big for Discord to not kid around with.

A little later…

Rainbine, Pinkis, and Applepills made it to the surface, only to see an army of troops in their way out. Discord, Charming Thunder, and the Princesses in front of them.

Twilight demanded “Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, AND Applejack!? Why are you doing this?”

Rainbine replied “We are taking what we want.”

Discord demanded “Do you even know what you stole!?”

Rainbine said “This…” She pulls out the Element of Insanity from the pouch, making them all gasped “…belongs to us Discord, you didn’t have the right to take it away from the world. How does it feel Discord, seeing YOUR creation back to the surface again?”

Charming asked “What are you talking about? Discord, what is that?”

Discord said to them “The Element of Insanity, a failed creation of mine back when I was freed before being reformed later. I sealed off the bearers of those cursed elements for eternity…But how did Rainbow and those other 2 know of that element?”

Pinkis replied “Does it matter? We are taking it because it shouldn’t belong to you!”

Discord snapped his fingers but nothing happened. He was shocked.

Discord shouted, enraged “What!? You made the element immune to my magic!? HOW!?”

Applepills replied “We is not a-gonna tell yo'. Git outta th' way befo'e thin's git nasty.”

Charming said “I’m sorry girls, but you must come with us.”

Before they could move, they heard a voice.

“Fus Ro Dah!”

The mighty shout pushed them all to the ground. The three girls took their chance and began to run. They managed to get to the Rogue Shadow and so did 2 other hooded figures. The army managed to get there, only to witness as Rogue Shadow taking off and cloaking immediately. Discord roared with anger.

Discord shouted to Charming “Charming, you have to find them! They are tampering with forces beyond their control!”

Charming said to Discord, trying to reassure him “Don’t worry Discord, we will find them. Once we do, we will question them.”

Celestia replied “What doesn’t make sense is why would they steal that element? They obliviously knew what it was, then why take it?”

Discord stopped at the question. Celestia made a good point, why would they take the element? Then it struck him…What if they WEREN’T who they lead to believe.

Discord said “Because dear Celestia, I don’t think they WERE Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack.”

Charming asked “What do you mean? Changelings?”

Luna replied “No, they never saw the vaults before. They knew nothing of it.”

Twilight demanded “Then who!?”

Discord said, fearful “Enemies of my past…I think they were their Insanity Counterparts of those 3…”

Charming asked “Insanity Counterparts? Who were they Discord!?”

Discord told them “Rainbine Dash; Element of Cybernetics and Rainbow’s Insanity Counterpart, Pinkis Cupcake; Element of Bloodlust and Pinkie Pie’s Insanity Counterpart, and Applepills; Element of Addiction and Applejack’s Inanity Counterpart…I think the EOI have returned to Equestria…”

Rainbine and her team returned to their normal forms and arrived to the Nemesis. Darkbine had ready the Ritual of Recreation. When they returned with a hero’s welcome. Darkbine took the Element of Insanity and put it into the boiling cauldron. He cut himself and let a few blood drops into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted “Blood of the servant, given willingly.”

He used his magic to levitate the container of Twilight’s Blood and poured it into the cauldron.

Darkbine chanted “Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

The cauldron ignited with flames and Darkbine backed off.

Darkbine shouted “The Element of Insanity’s Bearer rises again!”

The cauldron began to form a figure. When the transformation ended, the figure was an Alicorn Princess. She looked a lot like Twilight, but her coat was a darker lavender to purple. Her mane and tail was dark blue with 1 dark red streak and another blood red streak. Her eyes were the same as Twilight’s eye color. Her CM was a holy cross with a 4 pointed star behind it and behind that was a container of something yellow. She opened her eyes and began to look around until she caught sight of the rest of the EOI.

The mare asked, her voice echoing like Chrysalis’ “Is that you girls?”

Demented 6 replied “Brutalight!”

They came over to her and hugged her. She hugged them back.

Brutalight asked “How am I back?”

Darkbine said “You have me, Rainbine, Pinkis, and Applepills to thank.”

She turned around and see Darkbine.

Brutalight said “Well, thank you everypony.”

“Now we got that out of the way…”

Brutalight heard me and she looks at me.

“Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra and twin brother of Charming Thunder, Princess Brutalight.” I told her.

Brutalight said “Pleasure is all mine, Prince Danny.”

Rainbine said “It’s all thanks to him that we are back.”

“Indeed. I mean you no harm; I’m here to say that the time is almost upon us.”

Brutalight asked “What time?”

Darkbine asked “You mean when the invasion comes to invade Canterlot?”

“Indeed. Discord, I believe, has a feeling it was you 3, Rainbine. But he isn’t quite certain yet. Hopefully, he won’t think much about it.”

Brutalight asked “So, what’s going on?”

“Brutalight, war is upon us and we must ready for it.”

Darkbine said “We need a team name with all of us.”

Derpigun asked “How about the Insanity Wreckers?”

Rarifruit replied “No.”

Fluttershout asked “Chaos Bringers?”

Brutalight said “No.”

They began to think about it but I did a fake cough, grabbing their attention.

“How’s Team Insanity?” I asked them.

Rainbine said “I like that idea.”

Brutalight added “That is a good name for us now.”

“Now, Team Insanity, let us ready for a fight!”

We all cheered.

Details: Both sides of 1 coin, they have a whole different personality. They don’t remember when they flip to the other side (Well, Good doesn’t remember. Evil remembers what good does). Good is always the main one in control but when Good is provoked or something similar to that, Evil takes control and does something about that, and afterwards, Good returns back into control but is horrified by what Evil has done.

More Information on Good/Evil: Good acts similar to Fluttershy. He is shy around others. However, if you cross the line too far, then Evil takes over. Like King Sombra or Dark Super Sonic, Evil craves for violence and WON’T hesitate to hurt others. He cares for nothing but the wellbeing of himself, he won’t help Good’s friends if they are in trouble, as a matter of fact, he would love to hurt them more.
Nicknames: Yin/Yang, Good/Evil, Light/Dark.
Good is friends with the Elements of Harmony and he has a crush on Fluttershy. He wouldn’t want to hurt her at all but Evil says otherwise. Evil rather kill her and get on with life. However, few HAVE earned Evil’s respect and that is rare. Those few are spared from Evil’s Wrath. Fluttershy performed her stare on Evil when he made his attempt to kill her for ruining the “system of things”. Fluttershy BARELY got his respect but he won’t kill her as long as she promises that she won’t hold back in the sidelines. She took the deal and promise she would boast her self-confidence. However… That later backfired when Fluttershy transformed into Dark Fluttershy. Like Masquerade, she had her own dark side. Evil enjoy being in her company and the couple began to date and later get married.
Girlfriend: Fluttershy/Dark Fluttershy

Temple of Insanity

Phantom War III: Insanity Returns

Many months has past since Danny has left the Phantom Consortium with Cynder, his Housecarl. Now, the two have search far and wide and had finally found what they look for: The Temple of Insanity.

The Temple resides on the other side of the planet, located in the dreaded place known as Underdark. It is a forest, massive and the only place where the sun never shines on. They make their way there, not knowing what will happen in the dangerous and unpredictable future.

Many Months later…

I have been searching for answers for many months now. My power, growing as time passed on, was helping me find my target. I have traveled the other side of the planet, looking for Underdark. Underdark was a name of a forest on the other side of the planet, home to the Dark Ponies. We arrived to the forest and we had Nemesis hover over the forest. Me and Cynder were on the flight platform, ready and geared for the trip down. We had Night Vision Goggles on, ready to head down.

“Trypticon, find someplace to land and you may relax there.” I ordered.

Trypticon replied “TRYPTICON ACKNOWLEDGES THE CHAMPION OF UNICRON.”

“Good.”

Me and Cynder jumped off the deck and made a quick dive to the forest. During the dive, we put our night vision goggles on and we landed safely. We looked around, seeing the forest in night vision. It was quite beautiful for being shrouded in eternal darkness.

Cynder said “Too bad this place is under a dark shroud.”

“Yes, I believed the Dark Ponies were created by Nightmare Moon from during the Sun-Moon War. But because I’m Luna’s son, I’m technically the Heir to the Throne here.” I explained to her

Cynder said “I see…”

“Come. Let’s see where the Temple is.”

We began to walk around the forest floor, getting past anything they tried to stop.

A Stallion Stranger said “Did you see him? He must be the Son that the Prophecy had foretold. ‘The Son of the Shadow and Moon returns to Equestria. He battles the Son of shadow and crystal in the duel down to the death. But he will not be alone. He will be with the Demented 6, the bringers of Insanity. With Chaos and Insanity running amok, Harmony will falter and fail. The Greatest War, far more superior than the Discord Wars, will bring the Dawning of Darkness’ or somewhere around there.”

The Pony had a Black Coat, Silver Mane and Tail, Lavender Eyes, and wore leather armor. He had 2 swords with him. Curved blades that looked different.

The Stallion said “If he is indeed the Son of the Shadow and Moon, then I must do whatever is in my power to aid him in winning the Dark War.”

The Stranger got up and dashed away with a black panther close to him.

Me and Cynder had travel deeper into the forest, clearly lost. We were walking around until I heard some rustling in the bushes. We looked and see a Unicorn come out of hiding with a black panther.

“Who are you?” I asked him.

The Stallion replied “Salve, Filius Umbra et Luna.”

Cynder didn’t understand what he said, but my eyes widen at the sentence.

“Tenebris Pony. Ubi ego conferre invenire Legendary Temple dementiam?” I said in his native tongue.

The Stallion replied in the Common Tongue “I know where you speak of. I’m surprised you understand the language of my people.”

“You know the common tongue?”

The Stallion answered “Indeed. My name is Shadow Strike, but call me Shadow.”

Cynder said “Nice to meet you Shadow, I’m Cynder.”

“And I am Danny Eclipse. I am, indeed, the ‘Son of the Shadow and Moon’, as you referred it earlier.”

Shadow said “Alright. Follow me; I’ll take you to the Temple of Insanity.”

We nodded and began to walk to walk to the location of the Temple.

Shadow told me “Hey Danny, you know, you have night vision since this is technically your domain.”

“True…”

I took off my goggles and blinked a few times. My eyes began to glowed and I could see my surroundings like it was daylight.

“Whoa…”

Shadow said “Being the Heir to the Night Throne, Nightmare Moon could see into the dark without any trouble.”

“How did I not notice that sooner?”

Shadow asked “Have you ever been in a dark place before?”

“Actually, never.”

Shadow told me “There is your answer then.”

After a few minutes of walking, we finally made it to a Temple. We begin to walk up the stairs and when we get to the top, it was big. In the center was some sort of circle, ritual circle of some sort. There was a wall but there were 6 empty slots.

“What happened here?” I asked.

Shadow said “It all started when Discord returned. He encountered the Mane 6 and wanted to their clones, like the originals but much better. However, he couldn’t create them so he thought of replicating the Elements of Harmony. Thus, he created the 6 Elements of Insanity. He made an attempt to create the Elements of Chaos but it failed. He created something far worse and in attempt to make sure they will never be used, he split them across the entire planet.”

“Is there a way we can locate them?”

Shadow told me “Only one can find them. The Seeker of Insanity.”

“Where might I find him or her?”

Shadow answered “That ritual circle is where he is sealed in. In order to free him, you must use your medallion’s power to bring him back to the living.”

I sigh and nodded. I got into the center and my medallion began to glow. My left hoof began to radiate off the dark energy. I slammed it into the ground and the circle glows. I began to back off as a red light shoots towards the sky.

Celestia and Discord were enjoying each other’s company.

Discord told Celestia “I’ll be back soon; I’ll go get another bottle for us.”

Celestia nods and Discord goes to get another bottle. That was; until he felt a zinging feeling.

Discord shivered and said “That can’t be right…I must be imagining it.”

Discord shrugs and walks away, heading back to Celestia with a bottle of wine.

[Theme Song Plays]

The red light stops and we looked. We see a Dark Green Alicorn with a Sharp Horn and Alicorn Wings. He had Purple and Dark Blue Mane and Tail. His CM was a metal hedgehog head with 3 different colored alien symbols. His ears were metal horn-like ears. The Alicorn opened his eyes, which were insanely small, revealing his left eye dark green and his right eye Nightmare Moon-looking Blood Red eye. The Alicorn blinked a few times before laughing out loud like a maniac.

The Stallion said, voice sounds like a robotic cyborg as well “I’m free! I’m finally free!! After spending an eternity in there, I’m finally free!!”

“Hello…”

The Pony looked at Danny and his eyes narrowed.

The Stallion asked “Are you…Danny Eclipse?”

“I am.”

The Stallion asked “So, the Prophecy is coming true? The Dawning of Darkness?”

Shadow answered “Indeed, it is.”

The Stallion told us “I am Darkbine, Seeker of Insanity, Leader of the Dark Brotherhood, and Pinkis Cupcake’s Boyfriend.”

“Hello Darkbine.”

Darkbine asked “So, you wish to seek the Elements of Insanity?”

Cynder said “We are.”

Darkbine said “Alright. But first; I need my Emerald.”

Darkbine closed his eyes and suddenly, the platform in the center of the circle opened and a small case came up. The case opens, revealing a Black Emerald. The Emerald came to Darkbine and began to float around Darkbine.

Darkbine said “Alright, let’s go.”

I nod in agreement and we began to leave.

Author's Note

And Darkbine has entered the fray! I can already sense dark times approaching. And Discord chose to ignore the incoming danger! That is bad, no doubt.

Element of Addiction and Endario

The next day…

I was playing a game of “Go Fish” with Fluttershout and Rarifruit.

“When did this become a peaceful cruise?”

Rarifruit said “I have no idea.”

Fluttershout asked “Hey Darkbine! How goes the search?”

Darkbine said “I can’t seem to find any-Ah! Here is one.”

We lay the cards down and walked over. An orange beam hit near Appleloosa, but in the domain of the Buffalos.

Darkbine complained “The Element of Addiction had to be near Applejack’s cousin’s home…”

“At least it’s in the outskirts of Equestria. We go in, hoods up and ready to talk, and find that element. Hopefully there won’t be a fight this time.”

Rarifruit suggested “We could take the Rogue Shadow…”

“Indeed, let’s do that. Trypticon, stay here.”

We left into the Rogue Shadow, heading to Appleloosa.

We arrived to Appleloosa in 30 minutes and we began to walk off the ship, hoods up and covering our identities. Applejack’s cousin, Braeburn, came to see us.

Braeburn said in his southern accent “Wal, howdy thar peekoolyarrs. Who might yo' be?”

“We are here to see Chief Thunderhooves.”

Braeburn asked “Now, whuffo''d yer hankerin' t'see th' buffalo chief'ain?”

“Our business alone, please take us to him.”

Braeburn began to think about it and nods. He began to lead us but Rarifruit and Fluttershout stay behind while me and Darkbine went to meet the Chieftain.

Fluttershout asked “What’s wrong Rarifruit?”

Rarifruit said “For some odd reason, I feel like somepony here is familiar to me…”

We had finally arrived to the Tribe Camp. When we entered, the Buffalos looked alarmed but they saw Braeburn and eased down a bit.

Thunderhooves said “Welcome back Braeburn. Who are your friends?”

Braeburn told them “Not friends, Chief Thunnerhooves. They is peekoolyarrs an' they claim t'have business wif yo'.”

Thunderhooves asked “Really now?”

“Chief Thunderhooves, you have something that belongs to me and my companion.” I explained.

Little Strongheart asked “What do you speak of?”

Darkbine replied, using a false normal voice “We know you are in possession of an artifact that belongs to us.”

Thunderhooves told us “We do not know what you speak of.”

I sigh and shook my head under my cloak.

“Darkbine, show them what we do when we don’t receive our property.”

Darkbine said “With-“ Voice returns to its Cyborg Voice “-Pleasure.”

Darkbine lifted his right hoof and it turned into his shotgun, shocking the Chieftain and his Buffalo, Braeburn included.

Strongheart shouted “Wha-What sorcery is this!?”

“Not sorcery in his standards. This power was blessed to him but he began a role to gather the 6 artifacts. You so happen to have one of the artifacts in your camp.”

Thunderhooves goes to his tent and came out a few minutes later, holding the Element of Addiction.

Thunderhooves said “My ancestors and I have guarded this sacred relic as a reminder when we first came here.”

“That ‘relic’ belongs to me, as the prophecy has told me.”

Thunderhooves told us “But I can’t hand it to you willingly. You must prove to me that you won’t use it for evil purposes.”

“We can do that. But we must go into town and get my other 2 companions.”

Darkbine said “They would love to see what the result will be.”

They nodded and we began to make our way back to Appleloosa.

Meanwhile with Rarifruit and Fluttershout…

Fluttershout asked “Why are we at the prison?”

Rarifruit told her “Well, I felt the familiar presence inside here. Maybe they will let us see who is in here.”

Fluttershout asked “Are you sure?”

Rarifruit reassured her “Positive.”

Rarifruit and Fluttershout begin to walk inside. When they did, they met with the sheriff.

Sheriff said “Well, welcome strangers. To what do I own the pleasure?”

Rarifruit asked “Is there someone here who has been in prison recently?”

Sheriff told them “Now that you think about it, there was somepony we locked up for a crazy appearance.”

Fluttershout asked “Can we see him?”

Sheriff said “Well….alright, I’ll show you.”

They were escorted to the back of the prison. When they arrived to a certain cell, the sheriff tapped it to wake the pony inside.

Sheriff said “Rise and Shine.”

A stallion’s voice groaned in responce “What do you want?”

Rarifruit thought ‘That voice…it couldn’t be…’

They came around the corner and they see who it was inside the cell. There was a tall male unicorn. He had a black coat, Grey and Black mane and Tail, He had Nightmare Moon-looking eyes that were purple. His CM was a black circle with a Purple M for it, but the top facing to the left. Rarifruit’s eyes narrowed at the sight of him. She knew this stallion, it was her husband when she was still in Equestria before being sealed inside the Element of Greed.

Sheriff said “These two wanted to-“

He was knocked out cold when Rarifruit used her magic to push him against the wall. She took his keys and unlocked the door and she unhooded herself to the Stallion.

The Stallion said, shocked “R-Rarifruit!?”

Rarifruit asked “Endario, why in the name of Celestia did you get locked up here?”

Endario told her “They thought of me Nightmare Moon relative and locked me up. But that is not important, how are you alive!?”

Fluttershout told him “Darkbine brought us back.”

Fluttershout unhooded herself and Endario was surprised to see her.

Endario said “Fluttershout…How many of you are back?”

Rarifruit told him “Just us and Darkbine, dearly. And Applepills soon enough.”

Fluttershout replied “Not to burst your bubble, but we to get out before the Sheriff wakes up.”

Endario and Rarifruit said in unison “Oh yeah…”

Fluttershout puts her hood up. Rarifruit managed to find another cloak and gave it to Endario and the two put their hoods up and the three left out of the prison.

Me and Darkbine with the Buffalo Tribe had returned to Appleloosa. We walked into town and were stopped by 3 hooded figures.

Thunderhooves asked “Who are y-“

“Hello ladies. Who is your friend?”

The 3 unhooded, revealing their identities. Everypony and the Buffalos gasped when they saw them. They all recognized Rarity and Fluttershy but these 2 were somewhat different from them.

Rarifruit said “Let’s get this over with and leave.”

I nodded and Darkbine’s horn lit, recreating the Ritual of Recreation. I pulled out a container of pills.

Strongheart asked “What are those for?”

“Oh, you’re about to find out.”

Darkbine used his magic to take the Element of Addictions and to dropped it into the cauldron. Darkbine, then, pulled out a blade and cut himself. Everyone gasped at the sight of blood. Darkbine put the drops of blood into the cauldron.

Darkbine said “Blood of the Servant, given willingly.”

Suddenly, a container of blood appeared next to Darkbine and he poured it into the cauldron.

Darkbine said “Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken.”

Suddenly, the cauldron ignited in flames. Everyone gasped.

Darkbine shouted “The Element of Addiction’s Bearer rises again!”

The Cauldron began to morph into a figure. When the morphing ended, the figure was a mare. She looked a lot like Applejack, but different. She was tanner coat, Black mane and tail, her CM was 3 pills with Apples on them. Her eyes were insanely small and green. Around her neck was the Element.

Darkbine told us “Everypony, introducing you to: Applepills.”

She opened her eyes and looked around.

Applepills said “Uh, why am I in Appleloosa?”

“No time. I offer you something.”

Applepills looked at me and I showed her the pills. Her eyes began to twitch.

Applepills said “Pills…”

I drop them in front of her and she dived down to them, crazy.

Applepills shouted “PILLS HERE!!! My Precious…”

I smirked as she opened them with her mouth and swallow all the pills inside. When she finished, she threw away the pills.

“Let’s get going.”

Thunderhooves warned us “You’re not going anywhere with my family’s ancestral treasure.”

I turned to him and smirked as my medallion was glowing.

“Who said I was asking? I’m taking it! And you can’t stop me because you won’t remember none of this OR the element!” I shouted

I used the power of the medallion and quickly wiped their memories and we teleported back to the Rogue Shadow and we quickly left.

Author's Note

Applepills and Endario have joined the party! Who is next, no one knows! :pinkiegasp:
