The Rise Of The Eternal Gaurdian

Kaorn flew north towards the Crystal Empire, his old home. He would take back his empire, and raise the army of Equestria's destruction. He would have to rid the castle of it's current residents, but that wouldn't be too hard, a single artificial alicorn and her unicorn husband. The real test would be when the elements of harmony and his arch enemy arrived, but he already had a plan for them. The elements drew their power from their friendship, and they had proven themselves fairly powerful. His magic was what brought Friendship into Equestria, and he was sure he could take back his gift.

He thought it over a little, and that would take a very large sum of power, a sum that he was afraid to use as he would need every shred of power to wage the war he was going to start. He would take the soul of one of the six elements and make them useless, but which one would he choose. There was the alicorn, which was too risky, then there was the unicorn, but she was too weak minded and her soul would snap. The two earth ponies were too easy of a challenge, then there were the two pegasi. He seen the way the rainbow one stood by almost sheltered by his mortal enemy wait, that's it. He would steal her soul and use her against his enemy and the elements alike.

As he neared the empire, the clouds began to darken and crackle, almost as if they welcomed back their former ruler with open hooves. A force field sprang up around the empire, but this time it did not deter the dark grey alicorn. He used his dark magic to force down the field like it never even existed. A single blue light shot up into the heavens like a beacon, warning equestria that the Crystal Empire was under attack. Kaorn sliced through the air down to the lower balcony of the Crystal castle, landing on the balcony by the railing. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor stood ready for battle against their new invader.

"I will make this very easy for your pathetic little minds, surrender and you may live to be my pets", Kaorn demanded.

"Get this through your thick head, Sombra or whatever you are, NO....", Cadence defied.

"Sombra, my name is Kaorn, Lord and Master of Chaos", Kaorn said proudly.

"no..., not here", Cadence said, taking a step back slowly.

Kaorn smiled and brought forth a sword of shadow with his magic. Shining Armor drew his own sword and charged Kaorn. Kaorn easily side stepped him and plunged his sword to the hilt into the chest of Shining Armor. Shining fell with a little more than a whimper, and Kaorn dislodged the sword from his shoulders, stained by it's newest kill. He smiled and turned to Cadence, who used her magic to create a force field around her for protection. Kaorn kept up his smile and used his magic to thrust his sword through the force field, and the pony inside.

Cadence's breath shallowed and quickened as she looked down to see the sword sticking out of her chest and her life blood oozing out around it. The force field fell around her as her magic failed. Kaorn removed the sword, and with a half cocked grin, swung his sword at the base of her neck. Her headless corpse fell to the ground in a pool of her own blood. Kaorn held the head of the Princess with his magic as he produced a spear and stuck the tip into the head. He heard the cry of a young foal coming from inside of the castle.

Kaorn walked into the castle and saw the young white alicorn, crying at the sight of her parents death. He smiled as his horn lit up a dark red. The young foal disappeared into thin air with a pop. "Have fun in the dimension that once held me little one", Kaorn said as he walked back out to the bloody body strewn balcony. "SLAVES OF THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE, HEED MY CALL", Kaorn bellowed into the kingdom. One by one, the citizens began to come out to the castle. "YOUR PRINCESS IS DEAD", he said, holding up the spear that held Princess cadence's head. "YOU ARE NOW UNDER MY COMMAND", he bellowed out as the citizen's eyes began to turn a blood red and glow. Their bodies began to mutate into perverted black alicorns. "TAKE FLIGHT MY ARMY OF DESTRUCTION, WE WILL ATTACK EQUESTRIA HEAD ON", Kaorn said as he took to the air. The army followed and began to trek south towards Canterlot.
