it's hard to find many of these, so I decided to throw my hat into the ring.

lemme know what you think.

Chapter 1: Princesses' Ending.

Once Upon a Time there was a land known as Equestria.

Following the Granite Incarceration of the local Lord of Chaos, a Draconequus named Discord, the land was in a state of peace and prosperity. The princesses sat upon their thrones and the three tribes of Earth, Pegasi and Unicorns lived together in harmony.

It was disgusting! Luckily Discord had a plan already set in motion to allow his chaos to once again grace the lands.

Now many of you remember that in the canon story, Discord had planted Plunder Seeds, insidious plant-life that sprouted vines intent on draining the energy of the tree of harmony, but this is not a purely canon story. Instead this Discord had set about a different garden of interdimensional Plucker Seeds, designed to draw in and pull another soul to this realm in a new form. Using this he sent it to a realm I’m sure you readers are greatly familiar with.

Meet Ark, he is a human from this very realm known as ‘earth’. He has only managed to scrape by in his whole life. Sta-*ahem* I mean, Ark’s job consisted of pushing buttons, a terminal next to him would tell him what buttons to push, when to push them and in what order, every day, no breaks. Many would find this kind of job soul-crushing…

Ark Kane was no different, he had hoped to find a chance to escape this world, but it all seemed for naught.

One night after a long day of work Ark Kane sat down at his computer and started up the game Dungeons 2, he had already beaten both the normal and DLC campaigns once before but felt the urge to go through a second time. While playing he stopped for a moment and simply looked at a character who bore a menacing visage, one who had intimidation and darkness written all over him…

The Absolute Evil…

“I wish I was like that.” Ark Kane huffed indignantly, tired of the monotonous life he has lived day after day.

If this was any other case, there would be no reply, nothing to grant his wish.

However that was when Discord’s Plucker Vines emerged into his world through his screen, seeing the downtrodden man as their target!

“Wha-hey! Let go!” Ark tried to free himself from their pull, but it was a futile effort as the malicious monster of a weed was stronger, dragging him through the portal they had made on his screen, the last thing he saw before being pulled in was the Insurmountable evil looking up to the screen, to him…

And giving the now turned Displaced a thumbs-up.

“Ugh… my head… what happened?”

And so the Absolute Evil stood, shakily getting up and uttering his first words.

“Absolute Evil? Wait…” the Jet-lagged Evil muttered out as he checked his surroundings and himself, due to his prior knowledge he was aware of where he was, what he was, and what he was supposed to do.

Where he was: Equestria, more specifically looking up at the gates to what he could tell was the Kingdom before the Everfree.

What he was: The Absolute Evil, more specifically a displaced version of him.

What he was supposed to do: Invade this Everfree Kingdom and claim Equestria for evil, more specifically with the army of monsters at his back ready to storm the palace.

Feeling the energy in his new body, The Happily-Making-Combustible Lemons-out-of-Life’s Lemons Evil took to his new role immediately, menacingly pointing a finger at his army’s target, he let loose a single word that spelled the fate for the ponies of this fair kingdom.

“ATTACK.”

Within the castle, the benevolent pairing of Celestia and Luna sat upon their thrones as a guard burst into the room.

“Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! Monsters have emerged from a rift and are now charging into the city!”

Knowing the risks that entailed, Celestia acted. “Alert the guards, prepare for battle and find their leader, me and Luna shall defeat him, no doubt he will remain hidden amongst the horde to protect himself.”

“Actually Princess, the leader of the army is directly at the front.”

This of course, put the duo at a loss for words, they have faced either tyrants who were cowardly and hid behind their massive hordes of warriors, or vile fiends who were arrogant and charged into the front-lines themselves with no army.

They had never faced a foe with both an army of a tyrant and the ferocious spirit of a fiend.

Thankfully for them, Princess Luna had a solution. “Then draw away his forces so that me and my sister may confront the villain with the elements alone, if we cut off the head the army will surely fall into disarray.”

“At once your majesty!” and so the guard left to issue the orders.

“Sister? Are you alright?” Luna asked, unnerved by the panicked look in Celestia’s eyes.

“I am… fine, sister, let us go before this monster can harm anyone else.”

It was carnage that brought a smile to The Finally Complete Evil’s face… which was unseen thanks to his helmet, and battle that made his dark heart jump for joy. The Not-Caring-About-Cannon-Fodder Evil let his dark army deal with the guard as he moved into the town square.

But then The Recounting-Past-Failures evil stopped in the town square, having a touch of fear from a sense of Deja-Vu. The Absolute Evil could swear he had encountered this exact scenario before, and as the two heroic alicorns emerged, his mind clicked and his heart dropped.

His vision fluttered back to what had happened to The Past Evil, who had King’s Ending on the ropes, only to be surrounded and banished by the heroes of the empire. He recalled how his essence was split into three, The Ultimate, Chaotic and Corrupting Evils that all fought against each other and-oh… I see now.

Well isn’t that a kick in the pants? With the ambush underway and the elements in plain view, The Realized-It-Was-Boned Evil, let out a curse.

“Fuck…”

Not that kind of curse! The Nightmare Curse!

“Oh, right!”

With a last act of defiance, The Spiteful Evil used the last of its available dark magic on Luna, hidden under the guise of an attack, this was in truth a shadow of his corrupting will, that would become the Nightmare Force, a dark spirit of evil that will make the night princess attempt to bring enough darkness and evil to help revive The Down-But-Not-Out Evil.

And so as before, the heroes banished The Absolute Evil with it giving a whispered “I’ll be back…” and so he was defeated, his forces were routed, and peace was restored.

But like every other threat the sisters have beaten. The Patient Evil would only need to wait 1000 years before he could emerge and begin his campaign of destruction once again.

And while he was separated into three Evils, only one took the entirety of the Displaced consciousness to use as its own.

The Corrupting Evil.
