The Taraxippus Equestrian Darkness

It wasn't long when finding Rarity and Applejack, all of the girls gently carried them and layed them down on the ground. Twilight isn't sure how the magic works, since two of the elements are dead and she's keeping a secret from her best friends, dark magic still seems to roam freely on feeding on her soul. Right now Twilight must find her inner strength, after all... she has all of the elements to herself, that the entire elements flows within her... its strange that she is honest and generous at the same time along with laughter, loyalty, and kindness. Twilight is now unsure how to use the magic that she is containing.

"I have both good news, and bad news. The good news is that the resurrection spell is possible, but the bad news is... I don't know how to use the magic" Twilight said, explaining the possibilities and the impossible.

"How?" Pinkie asked Twilight, Pinkie's eyes looked scared or sad, it looks like a mix of scared and sad.

"Last time we use the elements on the Sirens with music, and now... I don't know what is the magic doing now, or... where did it go?" Twilight explained the second time, trying to figure out the magic of the elements. Twilight begins to think more, and somehow thinking of what Eclipse was talking about, he said it fair and square. The opposite of insanity and darkness... is the happiness and the light.

Like how King Sombra stole the crystal heart and hid it away, while the crystal kingdom fell into depression and disappeared into thin air.

A curse.

Dark magic.

Now the answers is the laughter and the love they share the same way with Cadence the Princess of love, and Pinkie Pie is the element of laughter or happiness. Without the happiness, it is insanity while the love is the only one protecting, alone. "

Pinkie, you have to lighten up right now" Twilight said quietly while Pinkie didn't hear of what Twilight said, Pinkie looked confused and thought about it to hear it in her mind.

"Why should I lighten up with the gore, the death and the... entire darkness coming at me?" Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash, Luna and Celestia didn't understand what Twilight is talking about, confused they started to think like Twilight, what is she talking about?

Luna begins to laugh, as everyone looked at her as if she's finally loosing it.

"I get it, laughing is a great way to forget about the past for good, laughing is also carried throughout life when being one of the Taraxippus to kill. I understand what Twilight is saying, laughing is good to show proof of having a great time, while laughing with insanity" Luna said.

Twilight's eyes went wide, remembering what Cadence had told her "the best way to forget the past is to get a great smile and a great laugh."

Twilight stood up, "everyone think of something that makes you laugh, its one way to feel happy and bright" she said, while everyone thought of something to laugh at, like remembering the moments in the past that happened that still makes us laugh in a good memory. Rainbow giggled, when remembering something that she didn't seem to forget.

"I remember when Pinkie did that stunt yesterday, it still gets me" Rainbow Dash said giggling turned into laughing, bursting with lungs for air really fast and soon, she snorted and fell down on her back. Pinkie laughed when Rainbow snorted, remembering that she loves to see everyone smile and laughing with her, and Pinkie's color begins to brighten and her hair went wild back to her original hair style.

Luna looked at Celestia; Luna smirked instead of remembering the past to remember good laughing moments she decided to make some more memories. "You might hate me on this sis, but... I remember when you dressed as a banana for Halloween once, I tweeted it on Twitter" Luna said as Celestia looked at Luna in shock, "you did what?" Celestia almost yelled at Luna.

Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow looked at Celestia shocked to hear what Luna said, Pinkie giggled and laughed as loud as she could, Luna laughed with the girls while Celestia is angered by her sister's confession, "I didn't really do it on Twitter" Luna said, Celestia smiled punching a friendly fist on Luna's shoulder as Celestia laughed with joy.

Everyone is laughing, just as planned Twilight thought to herself, what now? Now that everyone is laughing what happens next? Twilight thought to herself again.

Twilight can feel the magic grow strong, and stronger.

Now... Twilight can hear some spirits whispering, it grew louder, and louder.

"In glad that we stopped the bad spirits, by talking to them, and surprised that the others calmed down" Applejack said, Twilight knew that something is going according to plan but she still doesn't know how to use the magic, the only thing that is missing. "Yes, thanks to Spike I must do something in return a nice dog treat would be nice, he likes the treats I always give him" said Rarity and apparently they are walking down the hall still talking, Applejack is carrying Fluttershy with her spirit strength like Fluttershy is floating in mid-air, and Fluttershy appears to be crying.

"Let's just get Fluttershy to the others, her spirit is damaged this isn't our Fluttershy, and how can I tell? She never cries this much, and how the spirits has tortured her, this is just horrible, and it seems that they just finally broke her heart. Poor Flutters, someone or something needs to do something to help her dry those tears" Applejack said, Twilight isn't even sure how is she hearing the spirits with human ears, Fluttershy did say that dogs can hear better than human ears, and see better than human eyes, Twilight is confused at the second, but she finally realizes that there is a demon within her, demons are similar to spirits, not human, not pony, or anything she knows... an unknown creature.

Rarity's human heart glowed, the same is happening to Applejack's heart as well. Twilight is finally feeling the magic of harmony, her spirit is very happy and she smiled. Twilight closed her eyes and tried to remember the spell that she has been working on for years, and months. "By the sun and the moon, let these hearts be bright. Secrets and the night, bright as one or more, light. Regrets and darkness fade of starlight. Love of emotion, power to shine. Souls restored, one or more of this crossed divine. Once or more, show me a sign" Twilight repeated the words over and over again, her hair flowed with stars and the wind started to pick up rapid speed. Purple and pink colors begin to fly in the air, shining and finding something to protect. Purple magic found its way to Rarity's heart, while pink turned into bright orange to Applejack's heart. Soon Twilight is finding herself in pain, the magic for this spell keeps on failing all the time, just so we can't cheat death and cheating death is a dangerous turn. No one is supposed to just live a happy life and let a painful fate happen to die and coming back to life, dying is the cycle for the human world the same with the pony world.

Only immortals can't die.

Twilight squeezed her eyes shut tightly and her hands right in front of her, painful and tired. The magic started to die down, Twilight won't allow her dead friends to be dead forever, they still have much to learn about being a team member, teamwork...

Twilight remembers the time that Applejack didn't need help to buck down every tree, in the end... Applejack did need the help so she wonders about the fear about over-working too much.

Twilight remembers the time that Rarity had abandoned her friends to work on her dresses, and soon realizing that she was missing something very important to her, something big, she abandoned her work and came for her friends Rarity wasn't being generous enough to protect her dream and her friends, she's sorry that she wasn't generous to herself.

Twilight's magic seem to have darken itself and soon the colors grew darker, "I will give you the power only this time, I know what is the next... I will possess everything you have. Twilight Sparkle" a voice echoed in her head, fading with a dark-deep voice and disappeared without another sound. Rarity's eyes opened, like she is under a deep, deep sleep she moaned, moving her hands and shook them... Rarity's eyes widened and gasped, she stood up to see Twilight and looked around to everyone else. Applejack woke up gasping like she woke up from a horrible, shocking nightmare she sat up and looked dizzy.

"Ugh... what happened?" Applejack asked anyone around her trying to stop feeling dizzy, Pinkie held her hand and pulled her up, standing and Pinkie hugged Applejack "I'm so happy your safe" Pinkie said Applejack soon hugged Pinkie.

"So happy" Applejack had repeated, smiling.

Twilight finally broke free from the spell, and finally... the spell worked. It... worked...

"Now is not the time to be happy and cheerful" said Eclipse Blight walking up from the darkness that covers half of his face, the ropes are still in-tacked together very tightly. Everyone looked at Eclipse, with angered expressions at him.

"You only found one way to save your friends... but where is the other one?" Eclipse asked any of the girls, but no one replied to him while Twilight tried to stand up against a locker, her mind is just about to explode in pain. Celestia helped Twilight to stand, grabbing one arm Twilight felt like she is about to pass out. Twilight looked at everyone and layed her eyes on Eclipse, he came towards her but everyone blocking his way to Twilight.

"I give you girls my trust, but I can still see you don't trust me still. Just let me help your friend okay?" Eclipse said walking past the girls and towards Twilight, he unwrapped his ropes with his remaining magic Celestia backed away with a disgusted look to Eclipse. Eclipse then carried Twilight on his back, and re-wrapped the ropes around his back to prove that he is still in custody and captive to the girls around him. Twilight's mind begin to feel dizzy and slowly faded away, passing out.

"Apparently... Twilight Sparkle used up all of her magic, to summon that powerful spell all because... no one is supposed to use that spell for centuries" Eclipse said telling the girls about the history of the spell, "it looked like using up all of her magic, not the harmony's magic but if she is able to do the resurrection spell it would cause some side effects, dizziness, painful headaches, and feeling weak to pass out" Eclipse kept on talking everyone wasn't ready to look at him to know the meaning of trust.

"I got a question for you Eclipse... when will you shut up?" Celestia asked Eclipse angrily, Eclipse looked at Celestia his eyes went black to green and his original yellow eyes. Celestia looked away from Eclipse, as she crossed her arms on her chest.

"You don't want to piss off a Taraxippus" Eclipse said walking towards the cafeteria to find some fresh food to eat at night. Everyone is starving for some food, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie is begging for food to eat. Rarity and Applejack are the most important girls who are dying to eat, after the spell was casted the hunger went strong to eat for some proteins, vitamins, veggies and fruits.

"How much more longer are we still running from your stupid monster brothers?" Luna asked Eclipse, hoping she would just go ahead and stop Comet and Grim.

"Not forever Luna" Eclipse said, landing on his knees slowly and layed down, turning on his right side to shake off Twilight Sparkle from his back. Using a flick of Eclipse's magic he helped himself up from lying down on the ground. Soon, everyone got food in their arms, stuffed some food in their mouths and walked around to form a circle. "So talk Eclipse, how do you know about that... resurrection spell that Twilight used?" Applejack asked Eclipse with a warning look, so he starts off with a big sigh and it sounded painful from his earlier attacks from the spirits.

“Legend says… the untold legend, was when the very first dark ages has been born. Two brothers ruled the land, creating life and death. Just like Celestia and Luna, they were never told about this legend; they were never alive to the first years of this planet.

Tion and Requiem ruled together, the king… was murdered by something that was invisible; the brothers heard about their father’s death it was unclear of who was the murderer, then came the next to die… the queen suffered through the same thing as the king, the mother… died from a heart attack from something that horrified the queen, dying of fright.

Tion, god of the life and day became the new king to rule the land. While Requiem, god of death and night is the only prince, and the only creature who ever cared about the night. Ponies are terrified of him; they never talked to him in their presence. Dragons tried to kill him for power and royalty, but the consequences for the dragons died… by the royal dragon.

The first alicorns of Twilight’s world tried to stop him from bringing eternal death… that is the most important part of Requiem’s domain. Requiem was found to be the murderer of his parents, Tion fought against his brother… banishing him to a place that no one dares to step a foot into.

The Everfree Forest. Requiem found a way to rise from his prison, so it wasn’t enough when Tion banished him… instead… he killed his own brother… he killed the murderer… finally avenging his parent’s deaths.

After Requiem died he found himself buried, he didn’t die… he was reborn, so Requiem’s magic was in full power, he killed an entire plague and after that… his magic is stronger than the king and queen. It wasn’t obvious that Tion didn’t seem to realize, that his brother can be reborn after each death, he feeds on the souls of any creature.

The first creatures was consumed was… the alicorn king and queen. Celestia’s and Luna’s parents, but how did they die? Their immortal youth was drained, Requiem consumed on the immortality, the youth, the blood and the strongest souls.

Every time something dies… it will be stolen and consumed by Requiem, after all… he is the god of death. Requiem had enough power to kill his own brother and when Tion died, he tried to pass on the life around him searching for something to revive from the dead, and when the dead has been cheated… Requiem’s magic will grow weak and weaker.

Requiem crushed Tion’s neck, cleaning Tion’s skull and wears it as a crown. The skull of Tion is the light of life, by the colors of white and light gray, then the darkness transform the magic into dark magic, dark gray and black.

When Requiem finally rules the land, he claims to transform earth and Equestria into eternal darkness, in so… finally creating the insanity to kill the innocent creatures, in honor to Requiem they slaughtered their victims, and wish to kill more.

“The dead stays dead, they cannot live again,” said Requiem.

Soon, Requiem found his love interest, Selena in which she has the same interests as his, they fell in love at first sight and dated for at least three years, and got married. When the wedding was over, Selena told him that she doesn’t want to rush things too fast; she wanted to be pregnant to three baby girls or baby boys.

Requiem learned that Selena is not what he thought at first… to be a father, it was a dream that he wanted when he was younger, that dream shattered when his heart turned very, very dark… and cold.

Selena didn’t get pregnant at all, but created life… Requiem didn’t even realize that Selena can transform anything alive, all by her mind… and soon created the three main Taraxippus.

Selena fell very close to the name of Grim Verde, the very first alicorn Taraxippus prince.

Then came to Comet Shade, the next pegasus to rule the skies a side prince of the Taraxippus… and lastly came to me.

Eclipse Blight a stubborn unicorn prince to rule over the unicorns and the earth ponies. The main three Taraxippus… our first power was transforming into a ghost, which is what we are.

Ghosts killed the king and queen, Requiem knew he had the power to control invisibility, and killed his parents so he can be the new king. Requiem used some of his dark magic to us, and once he is dead… Grim will take his place in exact vengeance, or just plain rage to kill and never stop feeding and stealing souls to grow more powerful.

There were two souls that killed Requiem inside of his magical crown; killing him in agony and pain… those two were the king and queen of Celestia and Luna. Using the elements of harmony of what you girls call it, Requiem transformed into smoke and disappeared deep into the core of the planet, for more than… the beginning of time.

Now Requiem has been feeding on dead souls over the past centuries, he has enough magic to not only rule one planet… but to rule all, dimensions, portals to another world, other planets, destroying all suns, and let the moons rule over for every galaxy and universe to control.

Elements of Darkness… the new and improved elements to rule… no longer rainbows… just white, gray and black…

And so Twilight… she just learned the resurrection spell… that spell… was not from her Star Swirl the Bearded role model, it found its way to her, so she have to keep on resurrecting every body, of any creature. If she doesn’t… there is nothing to stop my father."

"Holy...shit..." Applejack whispered and quickly covered her mouth with a hand, "excuse my bad language... but that just sounds... horrible, and terrifying" Applejack said again not only apologizing but seriously shocked at her reaction.

"So... all this time... you really weren't... normal?" Celestia asked Eclipse he slowly nodded.

"I'm just a stupid creation... it feels like... I no longer belong to my family anymore, I'm just a lone wolf..." Eclipse said he closed his eyes and looked away from everyone, and opened his eyes to a wall to space out. Pinkie looked down; desperate like she finally seems to trust Eclipse Blight already... she knows how he feels...

"I... feel the same way Eclipse. In this case... Pinkie Pie is just a shorter name to my original name; my full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie. Raised on a rock farm and...moved here to have a new and better life. Just when my life started... I wasn't really all happy I was just a sad little girl... my family sometimes fight but they never had a divorce... and, apologizing is something new to me, I had a lesson learned" Pinkie said everyone looked at her while Applejack and Rainbow Dash hugged her, "besides... fighting and forgiving happens all the time in life, even when bad things still happen... everything still moves on" Pinkie finished. Rainbow smiled hugging Pinkie a little tight, "I love you best friend" Dash said, Pinkie hugged back "I love you too Best Friend Forever" Pinkie said.

Twilight moaned and started to wake up, Spike was laying right next to her for company he stood on all fours and licked her cheek. Twilight started to stand up but sat down and looked at everyone.

"Twilight... we need to talk..." Celestia said while Twilight rubbed her eyes so her vision will become clear again.

"I don't understand I'm the only one who needs to keep on doing this spell for a while now? I can't do that... after what happened to me, I'm on the verge in pitch black darkness!" Twilight said, while Fluttershy was trying to unwrap Eclipse's restrains.

"...Thank you Fluttershy..." Eclipse said, with a worried expression he looked at Fluttershy to her very pretty eyes...

"Don’t thank me yet, we still need to find Sunset Shimmer before something really bad happens" Fluttershy said.

"A fair trade" Rainbow protested to a plan, everyone blinked at her.

"Don't you get it? Comet and Grim has Sunset Shimmer to summon their mother to possess Sunset, but without a third Taraxippus the spell won't work!" Rainbow said, "Have you seen the movies? Every time the villain gets their target and subject, they think they win! The next is... oh right... so that is when we come in and stop Requiem, Grim and Comet! A fight to the death..." Rarity said, understanding Rainbow's plan and then Rainbow smiled and winked.

"Not just any fight to the death, its a world-wide fight... some fight that no one can stop... unless a Taraxippus betrays the family" Eclipse said, "what happens then?" Fluttershy asked him.

"The spell will not just only be corrupted... but a fail, what happens is when Requiem is back in his prison... the entire student body will come back to life and then the Taraxippus will be no more... we will never be here as if we never existed. Disappearing forever..." Eclipse said everyone gasped Fluttershy hugged Eclipse.

"Fluttershy, get off" Eclipse said.

"No" Fluttershy cried, when Eclipse raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" Eclipse asked Fluttershy.

"Because... you are already a friend of mine! I don't want you to leave!" Fluttershy said.

"Fluttershy, please. Stop" Twilight insisted.

"No!" Fluttershy said again.

"Fluttershy, everyone needs to move on, he can't stay forever! He's a ghost!" Applejack said.

"She has a point..." Eclipse whispered.

"I won't leave a friend behind! I won't!" Fluttershy said.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash walked up to grab Fluttershy by the shoulders and held her by the wrists; she begins to cry even more.

"Fluttershy, get a hold of yourself" Rainbow said.

"Let me go!" Fluttershy demanded.

"Sorry Flutters, but lets go walk it off" Applejack said. Rainbow grabbed the tape, if Fluttershy cries louder and draws in Grim and Comet, Applejack and Rainbow needs to restrain Fluttershy this time.

"So that was the plan by Rainbow, but how are we going to attack?" Twilight said a worried but scared look, she feels like the magic will kill her if she keeps on reviving everyone.

Eclipse smiled.
