The Path

"I wish to have already taken over the smaller towns." The younger, dark alicorn growled.

"I too brother. But we must wait." The older, spotted alicorn snapped back at him quietly. "If we move too fast, we will be taken out of our throne. If we wait, we can watch them. Learn what their next moves are... Stalk them..." She whispered.

"And this is why you're the boss." The youngest, dark blue one smiled. "Without you in charge we would definately lose our way!" He laughed. The eldest rolled her eyes and watched as Princess Twilight attempted to read through her problems and trying to figure out why things were happening.

Ponies had been reporting multiple thefts, broken into homes, and ponies being robbed in the dark alleys at night. The eldest alicorn smiled at the thoughts of their wrong doings. She loved the sound of chaos and loved coming in to correct them. She was a different type of alicorn alright... She was dark all over, except certain areas had bright, white spots. She had both tips of her ears white, her muzzle was white, all four hooves were white, and one spot on her chest was a solid white. It gave her an advantage during the evening as the sun was setting. She would hide in the trees and wait for her next victim to walk passed her. Her mane being a grey with red stripe through sometimes did give her away though.

The second oldest was a dark color all around. His mane being split in to with black and white. His eyes a glowing red... His wing tips had faint traces of white, but enough to cover him in the darkest of night.

The youngest was even different from his eldest sister. His coat being a dark blue, but hooves being a neon green. His wings fading into a black tip, glowing at night. His eyes, each different colors, one blue with turqupise, and red with yellow. His mane was an even darker blue, and was kept at a medium length.

"What is our next move?" The second alicorn asked.

"We blend in. Change our appearances, and live within the enemy. Show them what kind of ponies we can be." The eldest chuckled and rubbed her hooves together at the thought. Her horn lit up with a blue aura and her appearance changed. Her coat changed into a light blue, mane changing into a darker blue. Her wings being hidden and only standing as an alicorn. Her cutie mark had even changed into a completely different one.

"Of course!" The youngest yelled. The eldest slapped her younger brother and used the same spell to change her siblings. The second oldest changing into a unicorn with a grey coat, black mane, yellow eyes. The youngest changing into a dark blue pegasus with a light blue mane. "Sorry." He mumbled after his transformation.

"You mustn't give us away. One peep out of you and you will be changeling chow." The eldest growled. Her youngest brother hung his head in sorrow and watched as his sister lead the way through the forest. "We will board the train in Canterlot. Arrive in Ponyville with some belongings and stay in a small home. From there we will plot our next move." She said while walking through the tangles of vines and tree roots.

"How are we going to get there smarty pants?" Her brother asked. Her horn lit back up and wings of their own had come out of their backs. "Brilliant dear sister." He sneered. She smirked and the flew off towards the built up city.

They landed quietly in an alley where they had stowed away suitcases full of plans they had created. They hid their attributes and walked toward the station calmly. No pony would say anything since they are normal. They look busy, and sophisticated.

"So Saph..." The youngest held out the newfound name of his older sister and looked at her. "When does the train show up?" He asked.

"Soon. Rocks." She smirked.

"Not fair you two get the cool names." He muttered.

"Be careful or we'll change it again." The middle brother laughed and walked ahead of the group.

"Excatly." Sapphire laughed while she walked up the stairs to the platform. All three waited for the train to arrive, and watched other ponies come and go. Once the train pulled in, they quickly boarded and waited for the train to depart. As they waited, they saw some unexpected ponies board the train...

"Lookie who we have here." The brother sneered.

"Calm yourself Dynamic. If we stike now, we will never see fame or glory." Sapphire whispered while holding her brother back.

"Oh come on. They're sitting ducks right there! Just one hit... Please?" Dynaimc asked. Sapphire shook her head and watched the ponies that had saved Equestria multiple times. She thought of many ways on how she could figure a way to talk to them without sounding evil, but nothing was coming up. Until she thought of the perfect plan. She stood up and walked over to the most oblivious of them all.

Pinkie.

"Hello, I was wondering if you could help me out." She said in a slightly softer tone than normal.

"Sure!" Pinkie's head snapped in the direction of Sapphire's voice and smiled her famous smile.

"My brothers and I are moving into Ponyville and we were worried we might get lost looking for our new home." She started.

"Of course I'll help you!! I'll even plan a party!!" She squealed. Sapphire faked a smile and the evil gears in her head began turning once more.

She had fallen into the one trap in an empty room.
