2 Times Change

The land of Equestria had changed throughout the years. Princess Luna had been banished and brought back, everypony had been through so much... With the Crystal Empire being taken over by Sombra, Tirek coming back, Discord trying to take over, and the Changelings trying to take over Equestria, it had been a lot... No pony had expected this much chaos in the few years that they were there.

"I'm just worried as to why Princess Luna wants to see you guys..." Princess Twilight sighed.

"She's reformed darling." Rarity smiled.

"Yeah, and if anything were to happen, we could totally take her on." Rainbow Dash spoke confidently.

"Don't worry Sugarcube. It's probably just a meetin' on how to sleep better is all." Applejack laughed. Everypony agreed with her and boarded the train.

"I hope you guys have a good train ride.... Stay safe." Twilight smiled, trying to get the logical side out of her head. Demanding she get answers out of Fluttershy. But they all looked just as lost as they were when it came to the reasons as to what the meeting was about...

"They'll be back in no time Twi. Trust me." Spike smiled and walked towards the stairs to Ponyville.

"I hope you're right Spike..." She said while watching the train detatch from the station and leave Ponyville. They walked toward her castle, watching other ponies go about their business today. She felt off without her friends nearby.

"Princess Twilight!" Twilight lifted her head slightly and saw the CMC running towards her with sad faces.

"What is going on girls?" She asked with more concern than she planned on. All three of them started speaking at an oddly fast pace, and all at the same time. "Girls! Girls! One at a time..." Twilight laughed.

"Well, we were hanging out near the lake, and we decided hey why not go on a hike?" Scootaloo started.

"But then we ended up near the Everfree forest, and we heard noises coming from it..." Sweetie Belle shivered.

"But that isn't even the scary part!! We knew that the noises were normal but two ponies ran out!! So we kind of followed them to see what they were running from..." Apple Bloom added.

"Yeah! They weren't running from anything... But to something... They were laughing and they had ran around Fluttershy's cottage..." Sweetie Belle frowned.

"They said something about Discord..." Scootaloo said sadly... "Princess Twilight what do you think is going to happen?" She frowned and inching closer to the Princess. Spike had even looked scared... Twilight thought... The Everfree forest, no pony except Zecora would know what was going on... She would have more insight on the two unknown ponies...

"Come on. We're going to go visit Zecora. She'll know more. Besides. I'm in charge of all of you today anyway. I have to make sure that you ponies are safe." Twilight smiled and the young fillies, and dragon had followed her. Unsure of what to expect next...

As they walked down the path through the forest, Twilight had noticed that it was a little more foggier than normal... She had glanced up and swore that she saw an Alicorn walking through the mist... She shook her head and denied the thought of other alicorns in the forest. She was the only one right now. They got closer to the Zebra's hut, and saw that it was in shambles... Twilight ran towards it and saw the door on the floor and multiple potions and vases on the floor...

"Careful girls.." She said while flying over the mess. The three ponies and dragon watched as she flew over the small space, looking for the striped pony. "She's not here... Where could that pony be?" She said while flying back to the doorway.

"Maybe those two ponies took her!!" Sweetie Belle cried. All the girls started screaming and running in a circle.

"Girls! Girls!!" Twilight yelled. "We will figure it out. No pony just leaves without a reason or explanation." She tried to reassure even herself. All of them decided to call it quits for the night and hope for the best. All of them ended up camping out in Twilight's room waiting for the rest of their family to get home....

"I suppose you all are wondering why I asked you to come here." Luna spoke. The five ponies nodded their head quietly and watched the Princess of the Night pace back and forth. "There are... Legends for lack of a better word, that have been fufilled... Mostly me being banished, and you five with the assistance of Princess Twilight Sparkle helping to reform me and multiple others that have returned..." She explained.

"What legends are you talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes, from my understanding, there are no other legends..." Fluttershy said quietly.

"There are more my dear pony. But sadly, they are coming true... And Equestria as we know it will change." She sighed. "Multiple alicorns have been born into this world, but none that are recorded as changed.. Just like Twilight. She was changed into an Alicorn.... The ones that are born into the world were recorded in this book." Luna had pointed at the book she had treasured for years.

"How many alicorns are there?" Rairty asked.

"Without counting my sister, Cadence, Twilight, Flurry Heart and myself... Five others exist in our world." She sighed. "I know of two. Pine Needle and Nightheart... Pine Needle was changed into an alicorn after Celestia had seen what his talent was used for. Nightheart was my apprentice. Both of them ran away together once they had fufilled their destinies... I don't know where they are now.. But as for the other three... They are either scattered, or staying with each other." She explained what the rest of the book had explained and they were mortified...

"So we have to figure out a way to stop them." Applejack smiled.

"Yeah! Let's trap them with a party!!" Pinkie beamed.

"I'm afraid it isn't going to be that easy... It explains what powers each one would hold... And parties will not stop them." Luna sighed.

"Well what powers do they weild?" Rarity asked.

"One has the powers of Tirek.... One holds the powers of both dragons and Changelings, and the last holds the powers of Sombra and Discord... All of past villains..." She read more through the book and frowned. "You must take it and learn.... Figure out how you can help yourselves.. I can only help here. I wish you all the best of luck." Luna said while leaving the room.

The ponies look at one another waiting for somepony to speak up... No pony knew exactly what to say... Not after this.

3 Power Hungry

"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.

4 Party Time

When the ponies reached the Ponyville station, Pinkie was the first to zoom off the train and to Sugarcube Corner.

"Well, she's in a hurry to get places!" Rainbow Dash laughed. "So Sapphire, where are you and your brothers from?" She asked.

"Uh..." Rocks started to speak by Dynamic jumped in.

"Las Pegasus." He said quickly.

"Can't reckon I know anypony there." Applejack laughed. "I got family everywhere." She smiled. Sapphire nodded and walked with the ponies to the vacant house near the edge of Ponyville.

"Are you sure you don't want us to help you unpack?" Rarity asked.

"I'm sure." Sapphire spat. Rarity backed away from the blue unicorn and the three newcomers walked into their new home. It was small, and would have to do for now. They waited for a little while before changing back into their true forms and watched the windows carefully.

"Why can't we just walk around with our normal forms? Why do we have to disguise ourselves?" Neon asked while stretching.

"Because not everypony is going to like three new alicorns walking around." Nitecore said while using his magic to close the curtains on some windows. "When do we strike?" He asked Fangs.

"Soon. After nightfall I need to hunt. I must meet with Discord as well. I will change to my dragon form and find him. If I do not return by morning, do not worry. I will be back." Fangs said while walking up the stairs.

Once nightfall hit, Fangs kept true to her word. She got on the roof of their home and she watched the night ponies going about their business. She flew into the sky and changed into her dragon form once she knew she was far away enough. No pony saw or heard her leave. Which made everything go smoother. She flew into the sky and ripped a hole with her magic. Being able to transport to wherever chaos was.

"Who goes there?!" Discord screamed. "Twilight is that you?" He squinted and watched the silhouette of an alicorn flying towards him.

"Oh, Discord... When will you learn?" Fangs asked while changing her form again. She had some pony features, and some dragon features.

"Oh, Fangs. It's been such a terribly long time since we have visited. Tell me. What's new?" He asked while snapping his claws and making a table appear with tea on it. "How is the family?" He asked.

"Dew is fine. Learning more and more about Silver everyday." Fangs smiled.

"Your little colt is so adorable! Tell me, how are his chaos lessons going?" He smirked.

"Just fine. His shifting abilities are getting better. But I did not come as a family update visit. I came to make you an offer that you could never refuse..." She smirked and looked Discord in the eyes. "We need you Discord. We need everypony." Her fangs showed, and her eyes started glowing. Discord knew that one day he would regret ever teaching her the chaotic magic that he possessed.... And today was that day.

1 Beginning

"They say when two ailcorns are born at one time, that the world changes. But who wants to believe that?" Princess Luna read the book further. It was a legend that had been passed down from royals and higher beings before her. "One day there will be one born of a white coat and pink mane. Then there will be one born of a dark coat with dark mane." She mumbled the rest of the passages to herself, already knowing of these prophecies. "The next set will be born only a year apart.." She gasped. "Tia and I are only a few years... Five at the max..." She whispered.

"What are you doing dear sister?" Luna quickly turned to see her older sister walking in the darkened room. "You're going to ruin your eyes with how dark it is in here." Celestia had lit a few candles and looked at her sister sitting near a bookshelf.

"This book that mother and father had left us. It tells of all the alicorns that will be born. Just what they look like though..." She said while flipping through the book further.

"That book tells of what has already happened." Celestia took the book away from her and shut it. "You're going to scare yourself." She said while placing it on the shelf next to Luna.

"It said that there are going to be two born within a year of each other soon..." Luna frowned. "Will our world be able to handle that?" She pouted.

"We will try and prepare... But only if the signs are there. I will not fill my subjects will lies of an old pony who wrote this fairytale." She said while walking out. Luna watched as her sister left the royal library. She glanced out the window and ended up sitting near the window watching the Everfree Forest.

"Any loyal subjects she has won't be there any longer...." Luna mumbled. "One day I will be ruler and be able to prepare my subjects the way I want to..."
