“It’s not enough...”

“Tirek, there are much stronger ponies we can absorb from. You just need to wait.”

“You better be boy. I didn’t waste a millennium in that prison to be defeated before I can even take this realm.”

~~~

Meanwhile an alabaster alicorn awoke from a nightmare between two beings she thought she would never hear again.

“He can’t be working with him…” She worried.

“Sister!”

Luna burst into the room in a purple nightgown.

“It wasn’t a dream, was it?”

“I’m afraid not…”

“Send for the Elements now!”

~~~

Along the way, we came across Discord. Apparently, he was trying to catch us as he put us in chains and me in a cage. Tirek only smirked as he played with Discord’s emotions of using his full potential and ability to cause as much chaos as he wants without having to worry about imprisonment. The ponies would never accept something like him truly. Sure, he would be hailed for his duty of saving this land, but they would still fear him because of his powers. I had to admit, Tirek may be strong when reaches his full form, but he was no match for a literal God as of now.

Eventually Discord agreed, even if it meant betraying the one’s he called friends, even the yellow Pegasus scaredy-cat (No offence, but I couldn’t say anything harsher than that and upset eh Fluttershy community, I love her but it’s partially true she scares easily)

“Come on! Are there any guards worth MY time?!” I shout as I shoot out bolts of lightning. There lay only a few squads of Guards as Tirek’s sudden appearance and destruction had caused the Guards to scramble either to fight or save the city. He had gone to the Throne Room to find the Princesses, and take their magic. The looks on their face, especially after I called each one out that made life terrible here in the castle. Solid Wall, broke my leg after a pillar ‘tipped’ over. His legs were moved far back than they should. Arrow Blitz, pierced a hole right in the photo of my family with her crossbow. An arrow pierced close to her heart, shattering her career if she ever gets out of this alive. Or any of them…

Desmond then heard a loud roar come from the throne room.

“Oh boy… Something has gone wrong.”

He punches one last guard before he walks off.

~~~

“WHERE IS YOUR MAGIC!?” Tirke roars at the weakened Princesses.

Thye didn’t respond as they weakly smirked that he would never get their magic.

“Lord Tirek!”

The Princesses gasp as they the newcomer. Only wearing tattered remains of pants and a hoodie tied around his waist as symbols seemed to glow on his skin. They couldn’t tell if it was the magic he possed or if they were etched onto his skin.

“They have no magic. THEY GAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE!”

I then see that there are only three Princesses, but the fourth… oh that’s rich, they think they can hide her?

“Oh Tirek, you are missing an alicorn.”

“WHAT?!”

“Desmond NO!” Luna shouted before collapsing again.

“Desmond, if there’s any sign of the caring human left in there you will not do this!”

I then look over as I smirked under my mask.

“Ddin’t you know? He died a long time ago, I’m just the shell.”

I then tell him about the Princess and her friends. How they are much stronger than average ponies and would really be a great boost in his power. He smirked as he then opened another portal as he sent the Alicorns somewhere else. He promised he wouldn’t hurt her. She was the only one worth saving in this world.

“What did you do?!”

“What I only sent them to where I have been locked away. A fitting punishment.”

“They had nothing left, they were no threat in any way!”

“Are you questioning my plans?”

His magic glowed as I felt a surge of pain in my chest. It was like something was trying to be pulled out of me. I screamed in agony as it was like a Chestburster (I shouldn’t have to explain what those things are) was eating away at my ribcage. He stopped as I panted and rubbed away the feeling in chest.

“You are a servant, and I can easily take it all away, even your new life.”

“Yes… milord.” Desmond begrudgingly replies.

“Good, now we move first Ponyville and then all of Equestria!”

Okay so this story might be short Equestria-wise, but will move on to the human world and usurps Shimmer's throne and eventually has to deal with Twilight again so stay tuned
