The Taraxippus Equestrian Darkness

"So how are we going to stop them? Whatever we think doesn't make sense or any weaknesses. We need to think more than just thinking twice!" Sunset Shimmer whispered when she wanted to scream,

"I seriously think we should just go to them and tell us" Fluttershy said with a poor plan, Rainbow Dash wasn't happy about it.

"Too obvious!" Rainbow shouted her whisper,

"I agree with Rainbow, we can't just do that we will die the next moment,” Flash Sentry said finally saying something. Twilight nodded with Flash's agreement.

Flash stood up and walked up to the door; Twilight reached out for his shoulder and turned him around towards her.

"You can't go out there, the school is in danger and that danger is everywhere. Are you sure you want to go out there alone?" Twilight said proving Flash that he isn't worth fighting for himself.

"I'll be fine Twilight, I promise that" Flash said opening up the doorknob he walked out and closed the door behind him. Flash leaned against the door and sighed, his eyes are closed and he felt tired. Opening his eyes to his surroundings his eyes turned green for a few seconds black to the next and back to his normal eye color.

Flash chuckled and pulled on his jacket, tugging it like a set up and full of lies... "They are so clueless" Flash said and walked away to find anything, he was glad he didn't have to pull on an act and no longer whispering, he was happy for some reason.

"And they are so stupid..." Flash said again chuckling like he doesn't care about friends or anything, all he cares about is his darkness.

Comet came up to Flash and stood their ground like a wild west showdown,

"I'm still surprised that you bonded to our first enemy" Comet and said put his hands in his jacket's pockets.

"Things are going as planned father, did you get some more information? I'm sure we are twisting their minds to explode" Comet and he smiled.

"They are so dumb Comet, so dumb that they don't know what is our weakness and how to stop us" Flash said smiling with an angry and amused expression, but Comet was more focused on the invasion and happy that he finally gets to kill some people.

"Isn't it obvious?" Comet asked Flash, skeptically.

"Funny that the rainbow girl said the same thing, now where were we?" Flash said walking down the hall with Comet to discuss more about their plans.

"Right, distracting the mane seven and turn them crazy...I forget what else, there is too much going on and Grim is also planning to save mom" Comet said walking in the shadowy-darkness it felt like it was home.

"Feels good to step in the shadows again, I feel stronger now and more powerful" Flash said his arms wide out and stretched them.

"Shadows is the best thing ever, I don't know what mom is going to react once she finds a host and transform her so dark. Selena is the most powerful queen ever, and she is so awesome...I always feel that I miss her too much. It has been centuries the last time we had seen her" Comet said he closed his eyes and opened them to think about his mom, he has been homesick for centuries at the lost of his last memories of her.

Flash placed a hand on her shoulder, "she was so beautiful and so mysterious, she brings me happiness and joy... that was before I suddenly turned evil, I didn't know it affected the entire family. Selena... oh god, she was gorgeous and so majestic with her magic and those angelic wings, I wanted to kiss her so much I finally did eighteen centuries ago was the first thing that was the most happiest century ever. Told me that she was pregnant to Grim Verde, and I really liked the name so much" Flash said, smiling and closed his eyes feeling his human eyes so tired. Comet looked at Flash skeptically, by raising one eyebrow.

"So you loved mom that much? And how our names are very sinister?" Comet asked twice, he never heard Requiem like this before and how he seems so... shadowy with grave and dead words.

"I did love her that much, and I wasn't the one that expected the names, Selena chose it like it was moths to the flame” Flash said walking deeper into the dark hallway, and noticed two figures talking.

"Like I said Grim, they are not worth to fighting against us! I'm telling you, they don't know us that easy. No, I mean how hard is it that we are always the ones who keeps on winning? Evil wins, but in the end its the opposite" Eclipse said sounded so mad he kicked down a locker. "I understand Eclipse, we did win once but it was the future that changed our world. Celestia is our weakness because she is the light, and the same thing goes to that Sunset Shimmer, ketchup and mustard hair girl. But now... Twilight Sparkle is our end and the new ally. I really like going mad, but it is also confusing that she looks so similar to my girl..." Grim said he went wide eyes like he felt like his heart had just stopped beating he shook his head. "Yeah... its like... well... you know... strange and... She’s like... a doppelganger. I feel like it can't be true, but the truth and believing is right in front of our eyes the entire time" Eclipse said he shrugged his shoulders and glanced around the ground, and looked back up to Grim.

"Why is it getting all out of hands right now? First Twilight Sparkle looks like Nightfall Gloom, Sunset Shimmer looks like Comet's girl Eve Shade, and Rarity looks like Cynder Dusk... what the hell is happening? But most of all... are they the ancestors of our girlfriends?" Grim asked Eclipse he raised up his right hand before he answered, "never mind that, where is...oh, here they are. Its about time you boys got here" Grim said looking left to see Comet and Flash walking towards them, he looked at Comet when he heard about Eve Shade.

"Sorry Comet, I know it hurts to look back but we still need to move on" Grim said while Comet just looked down in discouragement, and completely somber. "Its a tough battle" Comet said.

"So what now?" Flash asked Grim, Grim tried to think of what to do next.

"I feel like we need to end the remaining elements of harmony, because that is the last thing that will make the entire thing complete" Grim said placing a hand on his forehead, and brushed his hair back he felt some sweat.

"What about mom?" Eclipse asked Grim, he banged on each locker to get himself entertained but the more Eclipse keeps on doing that the more Grim can't handle himself attacking a group of people with multiple punches, kicks, and other things.

"Eclipse stop!" Grim said screaming and tackled him to the lockers and pushed him, Eclipse gasped and breathed heavy. Grim felt something familiar, something he haven't felt in centuries he placing a hand to his forehead again he recognized the feeling. Magic.

Eclipse stood up shaking in pain, but in a few seconds he felt stronger and the pain is numb and faded away.

"What...what just happened?" Grim said, searching for an answer from his thoughts.

"Your plan is almost complete Grim, we have enough power to unearth Selena, destroy this universe in darkness, kill the innocents and we win” Flash said pointing out the last things to do for the agenda.

"Is that why I feel...like a god?" Grim glanced at the ground, thinking, feeling, and tasting.

"Yes, because you are my son. All three of you” Requiem  said hugged the three brothers together, "and once Selena is here... we win, forever" Flash said, Grim smiled when he was in the middle, Eclipse on the right and Comet on the left, they all smiled with a menacing laugh.

"Home sweet home" Grim said.

Flash returned to the dark classroom with the others, they fell asleep and knew that he didn't need to play a role again he looked around to see Twilight Sparkle sleeping on a desk, Spike layed down on her back. Flash then turned to Sunset Shimmer, sleeping against the wall underneath the chalkboard and thought about how she transformed into a she-demon, she would be the perfect one for Selena to take control of. Next, Flash looked at vice principle Luna, and thought about her darkest secret she kept in the pony world he saw the vision of Princess Luna transforming into a raging monster of darkness, she wanted nothing more but to rule the land of Equestria into eternal night.

Flash smiled, when his eyes turned black and red.

"I see that Luna has a dark side like us, too bad that she escape from her beautiful nightmare... and I can see that she is proven that she is the evidence of our existence. The key to our kingdom, but hey..." Flash trailed off and walked towards Twilight, "Twilight Sparkle is the key as well, and she does look that beautiful but the heart of stupid friendship. And finally... the last key to open up the portal for my beautiful wife, she would love to feel the power of an actual demon. Say goodnight Sunset Shimmer, cause this will be the last you will see the light" Flash Sentry said, as he slowly carried Sunset in his arms the door opened with three smiles.

"Let's do this," Flash said, his voice turned deep non-humanly.

Walking in the halls, Requiem can hear Flash screaming inside of his mind he was becoming annoyed when he is trying to wake up Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset! WAKE UP!" Flash screamed, he has been screaming for hours and still haven't given up. Requiem sighed and gave Comet to carry Sunset Shimmer, "What's wrong dad?" Comet asked Requiem. "This guy is such a loud mouth, why can't he just shut up?" Requiem asked any of his sons, they stopped walking when taking a left turn around the corridor.

"Hell, he couldn't shut up when he keeps on calling me slime. He's a fighter, but I never knew he was this strong to scream his brains out" Grim said walking up to him, "I tried to kill him when I was about to kill a student here in the rain. It went pretty good, it feels good to get a good fight" Grim said as Requiem raised an eye brow

"...Interesting, but I'm glad you didn't" Requiem said and smiled, raising up his arms he felt in total control again.

"Why's that?" Eclipse asked, placing his hands behind his neck.

"Flash Sentry is actually a guard back in our world, he seems very charming and hated by himself for the love of Princess Twilight Sparkle, his heart is so full of light I'm doing my best to turn it dark. And how I felt the light again... I don't want to repeat the history..." Requiem said walking past the brothers and stopped walking, turning around and looked at them, and they looked confused.

"Felt the light again? And don't want to repeat history? What do you mean?" Grim said skeptically.

"I should have told you boys this a long time ago... we were never really evil" Requiem said shocking the three brothers Eclipse took it pretty well and the same with Grim, but Comet freaked when he learned he felt a strange light before, just before they arrived in the human world Comet felt something strange in his heart and felt like he found his spirit. Comet complained when he explained of what he felt, it wasn't good for him.

"No wonder why I felt something ignite inside of me... I don't know for sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing,” Comet said brushing his fingers through his hair. Requiem looked confused then he shrugged it off, "it was sixty centuries ago when I first met your mother. Selena wasn't exactly her real name and neither is mine, we got those names from the real and the very first elements of harmony... and that stupid Star Swirl the Bearded. I was a great comrade to be the first ruler of that world; I was one of the creators of this planet. Ebris is my real name and how much I missed saying it for century after century...and your mother...Selena, She was so beautiful and I was madly in love with her. Something dark corrupted me and it felt... like heaven is real, I went on a rampage and I killed an entire plague of rats. And it was the greatest time of my life, the next thing I realized... Selena was just watching me with an angry look, she just then... she knew... Selena, she knew how I felt and how powerful I was.

Ever since our wedding, I felt so connected to her. Selena is the light of my life, and... I never knew the dark can marry the light," Requiem said.

"So that's why I'm feeling in love with Twilight Sparkle..." Grim said and he looked down, confused.

"How I feel towards Sunset Shimmer..." Comet said placing a hand on his forehead.

Eclipse didn't say anything, "and Rarity for Eclipse" Requiem finished.

"Weird..." Grim whispered.

"Now its time to get a move on, I know how it feels but we still need to keep on moving" Requiem said carrying Sunset in his arms again, and soon she tried to shift in his arms. Sunset placed a hand over his chest and saw something white, and... lost.

"Hey Flash, what took you so long?" Sunset asked her friend, Flash walked up to her and hugged her.

"Sorry babe, I had guitar practice and I was hoping to get out of it so I can see you" Flash said kissing her on her cheek, as Sunset smiled.

"I'm glad to see you again, it has been around like what? Three hours?" Sunset asked Flash, as he scratched the back of his hair.

"I wasn't really paying attention to the time, you know how my schedule can get? Guitars and music are my life, Sunset at least I'm doing my best to be the guy for you" Flash said as he held his guitar, Sunset sighed "its okay, I understand. Want to grab a smoothie? Like normal friends?" she asked tugging on her jacket and slowly smiled, he smiled back at her.

"Sure, it has been a while since we hung out together. And I understand that...you wanted more than just...me and others" Flash said turning his guitar to his back and carried the guitar case.

"I was really a monster...but I'm actually...happy that I changed" Sunset said.

"Popularity changed you over the years... it feels like I miss that Sunset Shimmer," Flash said standing in front of Sunset and blocked her way with his arms up

"I miss the Sunset Shimmer that cared for me as a friend! I don't understand why you didn't love me that much, and I don't understand the way you treated me like...a slave. Sunset... I still care about you, and I still care about our relationship. Can we just ignore the past and still move on, and just... be friends?" Flash told Sunset, almost feeling rage with so many questions in his head but rage was changed to worry, and soon changed to a skipped heartbeat. Sunset looked down and thought about what Flash was talking about, she closed her eyes and opened them to get a good answer.

"At least I changed into a better Sunset Shimmer, I don't want to go back as a monster...and, I feel like I am still that Sunset Shimmer you still care about. I still regret the things I did you guys... and I do want to forget the past, and its too hard" Sunset said walking past Flash and stopped, turning around to see Flash with scared green eyes. Flash came up to Sunset and cupped her cheeks in his hands, he kissed her on the lips and pulled back.

"Things are hard, but I am willing to help you if you just give me a chance and I'm not asking, I'm just gonna teach you how to forget your sins" Flash said, as Sunset kissed him back and came closer for a hug.

"Thank you Flash, thank you..." Sunset said as she began to weep on his shoulder and crying on his jacket.

"Your a great friend Sunset, and I promise you will forget of what you had became. I promise to the end of my life, and for the sake of this world" Flash promised and Sunset hugged tighter.

Requiem closed his eyes and opened them rapidly, and thought about the memory. Requiem removed Sunset's hand off his chest and looked up, thinking and directing at the same time. Comet looked down and kicked a plastic soda can as his small entertainment, but on the inside... he feels broken when his father told him lost history in the family's past. Eclipse walked away from his brothers and his father, Grim placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Get away from me..." Eclipse said but soon he came face to face with Applejack, his eyes widen and soon he got punched on the eye and blacked out. Applejack is filled with rage after her slow and painful death from the Taraxippus, "that's what you get for killing me, but we are not done with you" Applejack said, she crossed her arms as Rarity stepped out of the shadows her white glow radiating from the darkness.

"One down... two to go" Rarity said, she used her strength to grabbed Eclipse by the shoulders of his shirt and dragged him to where the other survivors are.

"Hold on... we are missing Eclipse" Grim said he stopped walking and turned around to see any signs of his second brother.

"The circle won't be complete without a missing Taraxippus, you boys go find him while I get to the circle and perform my part, once you get back. The entire family will rule again, go!" Requiem said and walked faster, Comet and Grim nodded to split up in different corridors by running.
