The Return Of The Dark Prince

Twilight was sitting across from her friends in the map room inside her castle, she was going to talk about the strange book that she had found earlier today but Pinkie Pie had other ideas on what to talk about. She was her normal energetic self as usual like every other day. “So today me and gummy decided to throw a---” during Pinkie’s energetic phase, Twilight had to interrupt she didn’t want to but she rather get the feeling off her chest.

“Pinkie hang on to that thought for a second.” says twilight. She felt a little rude interrupting Pinkie, her tone was apologetic when she spoke. She takes a long breath before continuing with what she was going to say, she wasn’t sure how her friends would react to her news.

Apple Jack the pony to Twilight's left side, grew a little impatient with Twilight and blurted out. “Whats going on twi there mus be sumthin you wanna tell us.” she exclaims, forcing Twilight to come forward with the news she had inside of her mind that she most desperately wanted to get rid of.

“Well you see, i was going through the library in Canterlot. I found a little black journal where Celestia had written some very questionable things.” Twilight finally admits to the group. The reactions of the group was not what twilight had thought that they would be, she left them puzzled and in a mystery over what was inside.

Rarity building up the voice after a moment of confusion, she begins to speak what the others had on their minds as well…..well maybe not in the same context. “Like what darling? Please do continue.” says Rarity. The others nod their head in agreement towards Twilight, she once again took another breath but not a long as the last one.

“You see girls, Celestia wrote some things about the Crystal Empire before Princess Cadence took over control. She had spoken of the evil unicorn king, King Sombra and well she had also written somepony else one we haven't heard of before.” she leaves the group in suspense for a little while before continuing back on with her sentence. “It doesn't really give his name all it says is the Dark Prince, and that he was the SON of the King.” explains Twilight, she feels a little better now that she had gotten it off her chest but she wasn't finished yet.

“A SON.” Rainbow Dash says in surprise. “So do we have to hunt him down too?” she asks ready to go on to another adventure with her friends, and ready to impress Princess Celestia. Twilight shook her head and began to explain.

“According to the book he was banished to Tartarus, so we won’t have to. Also inside the book there was descriptions of the crimes he and King Sombra committed while they were in rule, i know i saw mention of spilled blood.” says twilight now getting into the subject that she wanted desperately out of her mind. She cringes as the thoughts she had gotten from the book and it sends chills down her back.

“Oh-my was that all in the book, or was there sumthin else that was in that book of yours?” asks Applejack now curious. She must have thought that there was more to it then just that or there wouldn’t be a whole book on it. Twilight nods her head she had just remembered the spell that came through the book.

“Yeah now that you mention it, there was a spell by the ‘Dark Prince’ i tried to cast it but nothing worked it must have been a false spell.” recalls Twilight as she remembers the spell fading out. Then another thought comes through her mind, like what if she had tried harder would it have worked then or if she missed a certain instruction that was there for the spell to have worked. She thinks of going back and grabbing the book and trying again in front of her friends.

She walks back to her own library along with her friends, each of them curious to see what twilight had been talking about and each of them having their own ideas about what was inside the book as well. They trot over to the already open door that leads into a massive room filled to the brim with books, but lying closed on a circular table was Celestia’s black book.

Eagerly the all walk over to it, surrounding it like it was a something of great value to them. Twilight uses her magic and opens the book flipping the pages, she stops on one particular page it was the page that held the spell she takes another look over of the page and she noticed something that she had missed.

Twilight begins to read the instructions out loud, making sure she did not miss a single thing this time. “Think of darkness and hatred while you cast if all works you shall have passed.” she reads. There is a weird look coming from the crowd of friends as Twilight read the sentence.

“I think i'm going to do it again, or should i?” asks Twilight, now she has second thoughts on performing the spell. She wonders if doing the spell something bad would happen to them or if they get transported somewhere, she calms herself down and looks to her friends for their advice.

“I-i don’t think you should do it Twilight. What if it spawns a monster or makes you go mad or or or.” says Fluttershy thinking of every possibility for things to go wrong, Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes and sighs.

“Come on Fluttershy we have to figure this out sometime.” exclaims Rainbow dash. She herself was very eager to find out what the spell’s secrets where. She looks a Twilight for her to make a decision. Twilight still wasn’t sure on what to do with the spell, she looks at Rarity and Applejack for their opinion.

“Well twi i myself am a mighty interested in what there is, what can i say i'm more curious than a cat.” says Applejack with a smile.

“Go ahead darling, i can’t believe im saying this but i agree with Applejack i am curious myself.” says Rarity. Twilight nods her head she will try to do the spell once more now the correct way.

She puts her face right in front of the book squinting her eyes, she flares up her horn which was almost too much for her the spell took a lot of concentration and mind control. She does as the instructions had told her to do, in her mind she pictured to her what darkness and hatred was, she begins to grunt from the amount of force she is putting into to the spell. Her horn gives off a bubble like dome of just red mist, then came the noise of a thousand lightning bolts striking all at once.

Fluttershy ducks for cover as the rest of her friends stand in awe mouths dropped wide open, as the red mist became smaller and went inside the book causing it to spin on the table violently. A very ferocious wind came through the book blowing their manes around wildly, and even causing the books to fly off their shelves. The ferocious wind came with a thundering sound blowing almost everything over in the library.

Just like that everything died down in a snap, but as soon as it went out the book stopped spinning and from the pages formed a large red horizontal portal that took up the whole table. It sent the 6 friends jumping backwards in surprise, then a very blinding red mist poured out from the portal it begun to take shape as well. It formed a grey pony with red hair the eyes of the pony glowed red as fire and as bright as the sun, the pony let out a very loud and demonic roar as though it was an angry god.

The portal closes behind the grey pony, and a very wicked smile forms on the mouth of the pony and it begins to laugh. It laughed like a mad scientist about to commit an evil scheme. “AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAAAGH!!! YES I'M FREE FINALLY FREE!! FREE FROM THAT PRISON AT LAST!! AHAHAHAHAAAA” shouts the pony. Now looking around his surroundings, also noticing the six ponies in front of him. At first he is very surprised, but the smile dissipates as soon as he glances at twilight. “Another alicorn?” the pony says.
