One thousand years ago, in a dark forest that was being besieged by a rain storm hid a strange being, and it was hiding from the Royal sisters. It hid inside a cave with an entrance so small that it put a wooden door there and it paced in front of an ornate mirror. The strange being was bipedal, while his right side was onyx black his left was marble white, he also had red eyes. And it seemed to be talking to the mirror, "It's not my fault they are on to us. Well, at least we still 'poisoned' Luna."
Strangely enough, he was answered by a different voice, "Yes, but the 'poison' won't take effect for some time and we could have used it for something more rewarding!"
He turned, flaring the black and white cape he wore slightly as he glared at the pure black biped in the mirror, "I'm the brains that says oh, why don't we go through the tunnel net work and surface in the kitchens, you're the brawn that says let's burn down the door, steal a cake and blind our enemies with its frosted goodness!"
The twin in the mirror shifted and looked away as it crossed its arms, "That was once and we both know it K."
K shook his head and snickered a little, "Twice C. You forgot the time with the bachelor party where you-"
C seemed to grab the mirror from his side with his teeth bared as he growled menacingly at K, "I get it K."
K shifted a little and stopped snickering, "Well, what are we going to now? If I know them, which I do, then they will be coming here to use the elements on us."
C let go of his side of the mirror and nodded, "Yeah, cause you had to go do a Discord and cause the chain of events that's gonna get us stoned." As he said the last part K snickered again, causing C to give him a very unamused look, "It's not funny. Discord had the same stuff we have and it barley helped him. If we're not careful we'll also be the Princesses garden gnomes."
K sighed as he turned to the side and leaned against the wall, "Where did we go so wrong?"
C shrugged and gave a chuckle, "I think it went wrong the moment they found out our little secret causing you to 'poison' Luna and cause serious injury to her personal guard."
K turned back to the mirror with a small frown, "You're right. But what do we do now?"
C gave a small grin as twisted ideas formed in his mind, "We set a trap for them. Like you said, they will be coming to turn us to stone or whatever it is the elements do. And when they do come, we'll be ready."
Even K gave a dark smile to that, "Good. All in favor of setting a trap?" Both of them raised their hand and looked around before lowering them again, "Oh, right Discord's not here."
K turned from the mirror and walked towards the door as one of his arms glowed dark blue while the other glowed dark green. He lifted his arms and let some of the glowing light fly to the door as they started making strange intertwining patterns on the floor in front of the door. Once the rune was finished and his arms stopped glowing he turned back to the mirror, "When they get here they will be trapped by the magic in the rune and then we can have a nice chat with them."
C scowled a little before giving a contemplative look, "Don't you know it's bad to monologue in front of your enemies?"
K frowned again as he turned away slightly, "I never get to have any fun."
C gave a sarcastic chuckle, "Well, don't worry. I'm sure the princesses will crash through that door any day now."
Right after he finished that sentence the door shattered into splinters causing K to shield himself with his cape. Once the dust cleared away he let his cape drop and gaped in awe at what stood before him, the Princesses Celestia and Luna wearing the Elements of Harmony in all their glory. He glanced down and saw they were a few steps from the rune, so he decided to try and trick them into it, "What a surprise this is! And what an honor! My dear Princesses." He said with a mocking bow and flare of his cape.
Luna stepped forward, just a step away from the rune, an angry scowl adorned on her face, "We have come to stop you K! You have done too much in these recent months! You helped Discord, slipped something into our soup and harmed our favorite guard! For these crimes we cannot forgive thee!"
K rose from the bow with a cocky grin and chuckled a bit, "Whose asking for forgiveness? Certainly not me."
Celestia stepped up to the side of her sister wearing a calm yet angry look, "I just want to know why K. Why did you do all of this?"
K once again flared his cape and laughed, "A magician never reveals his secrets!"
Luna started to tremble as her angry scowl started to become saddened, "We considered you our friend K."
K's cocky smile to started to shift to one of slight regret, "I did too. But, things change."
Luna let out a scream of fury as she jumped at K, her sister not to far behind only for both of them to be caught by magic green and blue chains coming out of the symbol and being chained to the floor. Celestia, still calm even through the slight pain in her wing examined the symbol, "This is beyond your magic K. Who helped you?"
K's cocky smile returned as he gestured to the mirror where C was waving from, "Besides myself?"
The royal sisters were shocked by the mirror, especially Celestia, "What kind of mirror is that?"
K started moving the mirror closer as C started to explain, "Well, this mirror is enchanted to let one see their true or hidden side. Me being K's opposite."
As K finished moving the mirror he bent down beside the sisters and raised his hands, showing his palms as three glowing spheres appeared. One was dark green, another dark blue while the last one was bright teal, "A friend gave us these. And these gave us enough power to trap you here." A dark smile flashed across his face, "What do you have to say to that?"
Celestia gave a smile of her own which confused K, "I have nothing to say. For actions speak louder than words."
Celestia then lowered her head and lifted it with great speed causing her horn to hit his out stretched hands sending the spheres flying. K stood up and ran after the flying spheres while the rune started to weaken as the Princesses started to slowly get up. At seeing this C started to panic, "Hurry and grab them fool!"
K jumped and grabbed the green and blue ones simultaneously absorbing them back into his skin. He reached for the teal one but slipped, causing him to only bump it, sending it flying toward a wall which it phased through, out into the rain. K and C were in a state of shock before they turned back to the sisters who both had glowing white eyes.
C looked at K, "What do you have to say?"
K turned from C back to the angered sisters, "Oops." He then looked to the ceiling, "Curse you Discord!" He raised a fist to the ceiling and pointed an accusing finger at it, "You set me up!"
The royal sisters then unleashed a stream of rainbow magic that wrapped around K and the mirror, as well as kicking up large amounts of dust. As the effects of the Elements wore off the Princesses they coughed as the dust settled, revealing the statue of K pointing at the ceiling and a half statued mirror that still reflected the room.
Luna gave a sad sigh as she turned to her sister, "Come sister. I think we should place him in the royal gardens." She turned back to the statue, "He always did like nature."
Celestia nodded and started levitating him out, leaving only Luna and the mirror. Luna sighed one last time as she started levitating the mirror, but as she looked into it she gasped and let it drop, causing a loud thud.
Celestia peeked back in with a worried look on her face, "Are you alright sister?"
Luna, still gasping for breath, nodded, "Yes, sister. We are fine."
Celestia looked skeptical but left her sister alone anyways. Luna shook her head as she gazed at her reflection. Everything was the same, except for the lizard like teal eyes. Shrugging it off she levitated the mirror once again and stepped outside with it in tow.
