Fizzlepop awoke in the middle of the night with a frown, Moonlight woke as well. Fizzlepop frowned as she asked “Can you hear that?”

Moonlight nodded “Yeah who is that?”

Fizzlepop frowned as Spike snored “Let’s find out, come on.” The two stood on the balcony.

They poked their heads up to see multiple figures in dust brown cowls on the border of the Everfree Forest, one of them spoke “We are already later for the meeting.”

The other growled in a familiar accent “Ah ain’t leaving until she gets here!”

Fizzlepop and Moonlight turned to each other “So Applejack and someone else are waiting for someone.”

Suddenly a pegasi in a brown cowl flew over, her light blue wings slightly poking out from under the cowl “So are we going now?”

Applejack nodded “Yes let’s go, come on the others are waiting.”

Fizzlepop turned to Moonlight “Let’s follow them.”

Moonlight smiled “Yes, I want to know what they are doing.” Fizzlepop levitated the filly onto her wither and caste a invisibility spell on them before jumping off the balcony. Fizzlepop then ran after the three ponies who headed into the Everfree Forest.

They frowned as they slowly followed the three ponies, the flying one groaned “Rarity why do we have to go this far into the forest?”

Fizzlepop looked at Moonlight mouthing “Rarity.”

Rarity growled “Rainbow, if we did it someone less private everypony would know what we do out here and we would be arrested and executed.” Fizzlepop and Moonlight turned to each other with a mix of shock and confusion.

They followed them as they approached a massive boulder, Rarity, Rainbow and Applejack's eyes glowed green as Rarity’s horn, Rainbow’s wings and Applejack’s hooves glowed purple as the boulder moved in a purple glow, after the three entered the boulder moved over the hole behind them. Fizzlepop frowned letting their invisibility dissipate “We need to get in there and speak to them.”

Moonlight blinked “Shouldn’t we report to Celestia that they are using dark magic?”

Fizzlepop rolled her eyes “I have been using dark magic for years right under her nose.”

Moonlight turned to her in shock “Really?”

Fizzlepop frowned “Dark magic isn’t evil as long as you don’t let it control you, now let’s get in there, unfortunately Celestia doesn’t see it that way.”

Moonlight nodded “That makes sense.”

Meanwhile Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash wandered deeper into a cave, they walked into the room to see Octavia, Bon Bon, Lyra, Vinyl, Cloud Kicker and Muffins in the large underground caverns.

Vinyl and Lyra were playing cards around a plain wooden table in what was a nicely furnished cave system, Octavia leaned back on the couch smiled as her hooves glowed a purple a glass of wine floating over to her muzzle “I’m glad to see your here, I was worried you being bearers of Equestria’s super-weapons might have made you too busy to attend.”

Rarity shrugged as she sat down beside the two earth ponies “Never.”

Cloud Kicker grinned “Rainbow want to join me for some ‘special time’ out the back.”

Muffins smacked her over the back of the head “Cloud Kicker enough, you don’t have to…”

Rainbow grinned “Sure” and they flew into the back room with a grin. Then the minor sound of one pony pounding the other into a bed was heard.

Muffins grumbled “Why I am the only Pegasus in this group that doesn’t enjoy that?” She trots over to Vinyl and Lyra as she takes a seat “Deal me in.”

Applejack meanwhile was sitting next to Bon Bon “Any idea for any new recipes?”

Bon Bon smiled “Yeah, I have trying to mix chocolate with apples but it hasn’t worked so far and…” everyone blinked except for the two out the back heard the boulder move.

Rarity began to cry “I’m too young to die, Princess Celestia has found us.”

Octavia smiled “Stay calm, I’ll keep you safe.”

Vinyl, Derpy and Lyra had got into battle stances around the door. Applejack and Bon Bon were eyeing the door warily. Fizzlepop walked into the room with a grin her eyes glowing green as purple tails flowed out of them “Relax I get it.”

Applejack blinked “How did you get here?”

Moonlight poked her head out “Invisibility spell, we heard voices outside and you three were outside the Everfree Forest looking like creepy things. Not to mention Applejack’s accent is instantly recognisable.”

Applejack frowned “Ah have no accent.”

Fizzlepop eyes returned to normal as she frowned, she turned around as she heard pounding “What is going on back there?!”

Muffins trotted over “Rainbow and Cloud Kicker are banging each other back there.”

Fizzlepop scowled “A foal is present!”

Moonlight rolled her eyes “Luna has done much worse, she had sex with ten stallions and twenty mares at once, don’t ask me how.”

Octavia raised an eyebrow “How does she know that?”

Moonlight jumped onto the floor before flaring out her bat wings her eyes glowing with green light and purple trails before her form shifted into that of her old form for a few seconds before reverting back to normal. Moonlight smiled “I used to be Nightmare Moon but now I’m just a normal filly.”

The pounding stopped followed by Rainbow Dash and Cloud Kicker flying in, Rainbow turned to Fizzlepop “Are you going to tell Celestia about us?”

Fizzlepop laughed “I wouldn’t do that.” She summoned her dark magic “Proof enough for you.”

Rainbow smiled “Yep.”

Rarity frowned “I believe we need to appoint a leader for our Coven.”

Applejack frowned “We need a circle ten or above dark mage and there hasn’t been one of that power since Sombra. We all know how well that went.”

Fizzlepop smiled “Actually I have mastered all twelve circles of dark magic.”

Octavia smiled “Looks like we have our leader.” The group had a small party as they celebrated their new leader.
