A new Beginning !?...

It was a normal day in Equestria. Tirek was on his cell, planning his escape, but he felt weak to try to take over Equestria. He needed power. As he read before the pony magic was the strongest known by the time. He decided to make his escape now that Cerberus wasn't guarding Tartarus, was the best chance to put it in action.

He used a pair of sticks that remain around his cell to use them as a lockpick when he found the weak point of the cell door, he opened it. 'Now I will take my vengeance. They will pay for this.'. He made his way out of Tartarus.

In Canterlot, Princess Celestia was ruling during her day, when she felt a strange presence in Equestria. She had felt that presence before but she couldn't put her hoof on it.

'Something isn't right.' she said. 'He's trapped in Tartarus there's no way that he's coming back, unless.' she trotted to her balcony. "I need to warn them. They need to know."

She trotted towards her throne and sit on it, she started to write a letter to Twilight.

After some moments she had finished her letter, with a little of her magic she sent it to her. 'Now I need to warn Luna and the others. We need to be prepared.'

In Twilight Library.

She was sitting on her desk writing some notes. Suddenly she heard Spike rushed inside of her room. "Twilight, Urgent letter from Celestia." he said while carrying the letter with his left claw.

She used her magic to grab it. "Let me see."

'Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I fear that a new threat will appear. I'm feeling strange these days, I need your presence in Canterlot as soon as possible.

Your Princess Celestia'

"Spike gather our friends. Our presence is needed in Canterlot." she said.

"I'm on it." he said.

Spike rushed outside of the Library and started to go to his friends house. "Princess Celestia needs you in Canterlot, meet us on Twilight library."

At the same time, Celestia trotted towards Luna bedroom. Shadow Night was guarding her door.

"Good morning, my princess. There's something you need?" he asked

"Could I meet my sister, there's something I want to tell her." she answered. "Can I come in?" she asked.

He nodded.

He peeked inside and call her. "Luna. your sister is here to see you, she said that's important. Should I let her in?" he asked

She yawned and answered. "As long as don't take it so long I need to sleep for a while."

He nodded and looked to Celestia. "Just don't take so long, she is trying to sleep."

She nodded and stepped inside of her bedroom. "Luna are you awake?" she asked.

"Seriously. Come on." Luna answered. "What do you want?" she asked.

"Tirek is back. He somehow escaped Tartarus. I've felt his presence in the last days." Celestia answered.

"But didn't you said that. Tartarus was to imprison something. FOREVER" she said.

"Yes, but he somehow found a way to escape. So I call Twilight and her friends to try to put a stop to him. And I've got an idea."

"Why don't you send, Shadow Night?" Luna asked. "He is capable of confronting Tirek."

"But he's your guard." Celestia answered. "I know his magic is strong but I prefer to use my student for this task."

"So with that. I'll send Shadow Night for a royal meeting at Saddle Arabia." she said. "We're closer to form an alliance with them."

Celestia nodded and said. "I won't bother you anymore, get back to sleep then. I will personally warn him that you order him to go to Saddle Arabia."

"Thanks. See you soon." she said while yawning. She had rested her head on her pillow and in seconds she was back to her dream world.

Celestia trotted out of her bedroom and turned her head to Shadow Night. "Luna has an order to you. You need to go to Saddle Arabia for a royal meeting."

"I already got that order thanks for remind me." he said while bowing himself. "You can maintain protection all over here while I'm away. I won't go away if there's something that's bothering you."

"You can go. There's nothing to worry about and besides we had the elements of harmony ready to protect us." she said.

He nodded and trotted towards the castle main door. "So I will be back at the end of the day. See you later."

He used his magic to carry some bags and to create a pair of wings. 'I know I can teleport myself but--- HE doesn't allow me.' he said.

When he opened the main door, he conjured his wings and flew away.

After some moments, Twilight and her friends were in Canterlot main hall.

"You, probably, are wondering why I called you here?" Celestia asked.

They nodded.

"Well, it all started a thousand years ago... A creature named Scorpan had appeared in Canterlot with the proposal that he was here to study our magical powers. We had formed a decent relationship with him, but--- I was wrong. It was on that day that I met him. Tirek. He tried to stole our magic, he was able to defeat me and Luna. But her guard, Shadow Night, arrived just in time to buy me some time to conjure my spell. When my aura surrounded Tirek, I've sent him to Tartarus. And I fear that he had escaped and ready to bring despair and fear to Equestria. So I need you to be prepared." she explained.

They nodded. "Don't worry princess. That Tirek will be nothing compared to the Elements of Harmony."

"Be careful, his magic was able to even defeat him. And you know how strong his magic is. So when he shows up. Please be careful. He isn't to be underestimated." Celestia said

They nodded.

"Now that you've warned. You can go back to Ponyville."

Tirek was causing trouble in Appleloosa, as he proceeded his magical powers started to come back every time he caught ponies. It doesn't matter what race they were.

This kind of situation was scaring Celestia, but she needed to focus. She didn't want to cause insecurity around Canterlot.

'Discord. He can be my last chance.'

She wrote a letter to him.

In a matter of seconds, he appeared near her. "There's something you need?" he asked.

"Tirek is back Discord." she answered. "And I need you to stop him. Would you do that for me?"

He nodded. "Of course. Where is he?"

"Appleloosa. Please stop him." she answered.

He bowed and snapped his fingers making him disappear.

Discord had teleported himself to Appleloosa.

When he got there he looked around and saw that Tirek was behind him. He felt himself being grabbed by his neck.

"Hello there. Discord? Is that you?" Tirek asked.

"No. I'm not Discord. I'm DISCORD." he answered. "Could you put me down?" he asked.

"No. I'll need your magic. Join me or---" he answered.

"Pff. Join you." he said while laughing. "Never. I won't betray them just for you."

"Alright." Tirek said. "This might hurt a little."

He started to take Discord magic away from him. Tirek body started to grow. "The chaos power. I feel strong."

He dropped Discord and moved towards Canterlot. "Now I'll get my vengeance on that Celestia."

Discord snapped his fingers and teleported himself to Fluttershy house. "Flutter---sh---" he closed his eyes.

A yellow pegasus entered the main room when she saw his body she screamed. "Discord. What happen?" she asked.

No answer.

"Discord are you alright?" she asked again.

"He's coming to--- Canterlot." he answered. "Warn Twilight. Prepare yourselves."

He closed his eyes.

"Him who? Tirek--- he---" she said.

Realizing that Discord was breathing she carried him to her couch. "I'll hope that you're alright."

She trots towards the exit. She opened her house main door and trotted towards Twilight library.

In Twilight Library.

She heard a hard knock on her door, she rushed to open it.

"Yes." she said.

"He's coming here." Fluttershy said.

"He, who?" Twilight asked.

"Tirek." she answered. "I saw Discord laid on the floor when I get inside my house. He told me that he's coming to Canterlot."

"Let's warn them. We need to be ready." she said while trotting out of her house.

Twilight and Fluttershy called her friends and when they were reunited, they decided to go to Canterlot.

At the same time in Canterlot, Celestia called Luna and Cadance to meet her on Canterlot.

They were in the main hall when, out of the sudden, the main door opened with a strong cast of magic.

That situation scared the alicorns.

"Hello, my dears. Surprised to see me again." Tirek asked.

"How dare you to come here and destroy my property?" Celestia asked

"You trapped me. I'm just here to finish what I started a hundred years ago." he said.

Celestia ignites her horn and shot a magical beam towards him. He casts a magical barrier.

"So cute. Now surrender. Give me your magic. Or I'll use my powers." he said while charging his magic.

"Never." she said.

"Alright.".

He casts a magical blast that sends them flew away until they hit the castle walls. He used his magic to grab them. "Now. This might hurt a little."

He started to drain their magic, when he finished, he opened a portal and said. "Did you remember this place?" he asked.

"Tartarus." Celestia answered.

"Yes. You will feel how it's hard to live there." he said while using his magic to carry them to Tartarus.

He closed the portal. 'Now I need to go to Ponyville and all Equestria will be under my control.'

Suddenly everything became darker around him. "What the---? No"

He looked at the main entrance and saw him.

"Hello, my dear friend." Shadow Night said. "You're here again."

"Of course I'm." Tirek said. "It's nice to meet you again."

"What have you done to them?" he asked while charging his horn.

"Just a little trip to Tartarus." he answered.

He screamed and shot a blast towards Tirek he tried to conjure a shield but was blasted away by his magic.

When he got up on his hooves he looked to him.

"How? How could you? I've their magic and Discord magic too." he asked while shaking his body.

"Well. You should know better than anyone that--- I'm a shadow pony." he answered. "My magical powers surpass even the alicorn power. Now. Surrender or---"

"Could I make a deal with you?" he asked.

"No." Shadow night answered.

"You gave me no choice." he said while opening his magical portal. "I'll free them. If you gave me your powers."

"Come on, Tirek. Would you think that I felt by this?" he asked.

Shadow Night used this as an advantage. He used his magic to paralyze Tirek.

"Thanks for your contribution." he said while using his magic to carry Tirek body towards Tartarus.

When Tirek entered Tartarus his magic was drained. Every magical power that he had drained returned to their respective bearers.

Shadow Night dropped Tirek body on his cell. "Enjoy your stay. Next time I won't be merciful."

With all magic returned to their respective bearers. The alicorns and Shadow Night returned to the main hall.

They had realized that the Elements of Harmony were in the main hall.

"Where's he?" Twilight asked.

"Back to Tartarus." Celestia answered. "Shadow Night used his magic to paralyze him and carry him to Tartarus."

"So that means that we're safe now?" Twilight asked.

"I hope so." she answered.

The Elements nodded and decided to return to Ponyville.

"Good. You've saved us." Celestia said while looking to Shadow Night.

He bowed and said. "There's no need to thank me. I'm just doing my job."

He decided to return to his bedroom.

When he got inside he started to talk. 'I've to control this power. It could be dangerous if it got out of hoof. That dark form on my mind'

'He hurt her. KILL HIM. KILL HIM. KILL HIM.' were the words that kept on his head. 'I have to control this form. She doesn't deserve to meet this form.'
