My Little Pony: The Dark Age

While going through the black and purple swirling portal, the Dark Master decided that, if he should manipulate some of those people on that other world, he might as well play innocently.

Giving an cruel smile, the Dark Master transformed into his other self, who opened his eyes as he saw freedom finally.

After going through the portal and coming out to an different atmosphere, the dragon flew down towards the planet's surface of Equestria, which he found was a weird name for a world.

Landing near the dark forest of the Everfree Forest, the newly arrived dragon looked around to find nothing but creepy trees and ground.

The dragon decided that, if he should navigate this world, he must find a suitable name for himself.

He had just found the perfect name for himself when he observed the dark forest of the Everfree Forest.

After a while of observing, the dragon, named Moon, began to walk to the safest part of the path to take in order to get out of the forest.

However, he didn't get very far until he heard sinister growling in the nearby bushes. This made Moon get on guard for any potential attack.

The attack came, in the form of a pile of an wooden wolf that had eerie green eyes. But, as the Timberwolf tried to strike the dragon, just a mere glare from the inside of the dragon scared off the Timberwolf by one second and it scurried off in another direction instead of fighting this scary-looking dragon.

Moon merely shrugged this off, as he ventured to the safest path to get to the nearby town as he predicted there to be one outside this forest.

When he got to a clearing, Moon saw an old-looking castle within the clearing as he thought of one devious plan. He decided to investigate this old castle, and see if it's any worth being his very own castle of this world with its throne room.

Walking towards the gate of the old castle, Moon made it inside the palace as he ventured through the castle to find anything worth stealing for himself.

Walking into the library of the place, Moon found a book of dark magic spells when he looked through the many aging books of ancient times.

Carefully pulling the book of dark magic out, Moon gently opened the book as to not break it. He carefully went through the many old pages of the spells for dark magic, and he found one spell interesting.

Turning the world into a dark and ominous place, as well as making all the plants die in an dark world.

Moon smiled deviously at the dark magic spell within the book he found. He decided to storage it back to the shelf as he now know how to work with the evil magic spell casting.

Being an evil dragon, the Dark Master was only interested in dark magic spell books than light magic ones. He found the latter boring and not worth the power. He's more into the ones that was going to be used with a lot of power than just a minimum amount of it.

The Dark Master, or Moon, chose to stay in this old castle for a few more months in order to renew it to his image to be his own palace for his dominant of this world.

In Ponyville, a purple alicorn was trotting alongside her best friend and assistant, Spike, through the streets until she stopped for a moment when she reacted to a strange power source.

"Twi, what's wrong?" Spike asked her.

"I thought I sensed something from the Everfree Forest..." Twilight responded carefully when she reacted strangely to the power source. "I thinkn that an new foe might be on the horizon."

"Oh, please," Spike shoved that aside. "We've defeated all the villains together, haven't we? What more could there possibly be if there was going to be a new villain in Equestria?"

"I'm telling you," Twilight started the arguement. "There is in fact a new villain nearby. I don't know who it is, but we've got to do something before it reaches its maximum of potential threat."

"Okay, jeez. Calm down, Twilight," Spike rubbed the back of his neck. "I just asked what it was. No need to cause a panic while we're here."

Twilight flushed a bit when she noticed the many looks of the citizens of Ponyville, her cheeks being a little red color before shaking her head as she decided to call the rest of the gang to the Castle of Friendship.

A while later, after getting all her friends into the throne room, Twilight explained their situation.

"Apparently," the Princess began, "there is a new and powerful source of dark magic within Everfree Forest. This villain may just be stronger than that of Tirek or Discord when we had to face him when he was a villain back then. However, this new foe is immensely powerful and a really strong dark magic user."

"How can ya tell, Twilight?" An orange pony named Applejack asked in wonder.

"I just have a hunch," the Princess replied. But, Applejack just stared at her for the truth. Twilight sighed. "Okay. I just know this new enemy is the strongest dark magic user in Equestria."

"Stronger than...King Sombra?" the shy pegasus called Fluttershy, fearfully asked.

"Probably," Twilight nodded her head.

"Say, Twilight," the blue mare named Rainbow Dash started. "Why haven't you called for the Princesses and Shining Armor about this new enemy? Are you that feared by this strong magic user?"

"A bit, yes," Twilight admitted to Rainbow to the latter question. "I haven't contacted Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Cadance or Shining yet. I figured to get you first so we can get into the bottom of this new enemy."

"Sounds cool to me," Rainbow nodded as she approved of Twilight's plan.

"But, this enemy is a...dark magic user..." Fluttershy reminded Rainbow Dash. "And...we're not even that powerful without the Elements of Harmony...how can we beat the enemy if we don't have them?"

That seemed to question Rainbow as well. She looked at Twilight for clarification.

"I believe," the Princess started, "if we get the other nations' help, we might be able to beat our new threat if it is supposed to be that strong. However, before jumping straight into action, we may have to wait for a while before doing anything to immediately attack it if it hasn't attacked us first yet. Are you with me?"

"Sure," the gang nodded in understanding as they soon heard an amused chuckle from around the room.

"Why, you have forgotten to invite me to the party." In a flash, the Draconequus, Discord, appeared behind the Mane Six as they smiled apologetically to him.

"Sorry, Discord," Twilight apologized.

"No problem, my dear Princess," Discord waved a hand in dismissing. "I understand you're afraid of this new enemy, but with my help, we might be able to get rid of him quicker than before than just waiting for 'a while'."

"Would you?" Twilight asked him.

"Of course, Princess Twilight," Discord bowed to Twilight jokingly as he disappeared in a flash.

"With this new palace, I'll rule as the King of this planet!" the Dark Master cackled to himself as he sat on his new and comfortable throne.

His renovation complete for his new castle, the Dark Master took control over Moon once more as he decided to not give that damn goody-two shoe freedom for long. By just finding that dark magic spell book, the Dark Master quickly took control again and decided to imprisonment the good side within their shared mind.

"Are you really sure about that, O almighty dragon?" A new voice echoed through the throne room.

The Dark Master narrowed his eyes as the Draconequus appeared in a flash in front of him.

"Who might you be, creature?" the Dark Master demanded threateningly at the Draconequus.

"Why, allow me to introduce myself." Discord bowed in a mock-manner to the Dark Master. "My name is Discord, the one and only ruler of Chaos, a mastermind behind chaos control, and friend to the people of this world."

"If you're the 'mastermind of chaos control' in this world," the Dark Master questioned. "Then, how come are you a friend to ponykind if you couldn't defeat them in your old ways?"

Discord shook his head at that belief. "You shouldn't underestimate me. Even if I am friend of ponykind, I am neutral in many ways. I still cause chaos, but in a fun way."

A wide, evil grin spread across the Dark Master's expression.

"Really? Hm. Interesting. If you're still causing chaos, then how about joining me in my world conquering quest of this world? I'll have a spot for you as the commander of my army of the dead once I am in my final stages of conquering this world."

Discord's eyes widened in fear as he soon knew why Twilight was afraid of this new enemy. It was a dragon who utilized Dark Elements that could summon the dead back to the living. A really dark spell, by dear Faust.

"Oh, I believe no one told you about me and my quest?" the Dark Master asked Discord. "I am the one responsible for disrupting the dimensions from the Destroyer of Worlds that caused the destruction of Planet Earth. That's right; I plan on destroying this world as well once I find it is no use for me anymore when every species of the world are nothing but corpses that are going to be part of my Army of the Dead."

An evil laughter escaped the Dark Master afterwards, which sent cold shivers down Discord's spines.

"You...you are...a true devil!" Discord shouted to the evil dragon. "No. A true demon who causes nothing but death and destruction in his path! How many other worlds have you destroyed beside this planet Earth?"

The Dark Master cackled evilly. "Why, the other worlds that had ponies on them, of course. And other worlds that are part of this multiverse. I plan on destroying all dimensions, leaving nothing but death in my path of universe conquering within my wake!"Another evil laughter came from him.

Discord's body began to shake violently from this dark conversation with the Dark Master. Then, without a second thought, he disappeared in a flash, and away from the Dark Master.

The Dark Master had a wide spread evil grin on his face when Discord vanished in front of him. Perfect, another reason to corrupt and manipulate the monarchs of this world.

Then, as he was about to turn to his new bedroom, the Dark Master froze when he sensed a strange power from the land of dragons in this world.

Humming in interest, the Dark Master vanished in a dark flash.

Ember had a visit from Spike once their egg had been laid. She knew that Rarity was jealous of their marriage instead of hers with Spike, but she was happy for them nonetheless.

After his visit to his mate, Spike was about to fly back to his home of Ponyville when he suddenly saw a dark flash in the distance near him.

Frozen in place, Spike saw that the being appearing was the enemy they sought after a few weeks of waiting had passed.

In front of him in the evil glory, the Dark Master grinned evilly to the younger dragon as he began to speak up in his cold voice.

"Why, hello there, little one," the Dark Master greeted strangely to Spike, his demonic voice echoing into Spike's ears.

Spike was shaking at where he was standing, knowing this enemy was too powerful for even him to take on.

"Not planning on saying a greeting back?" the Dark Master asked, then shook his head in dismissing. "Anyway, I am here to see your egg. I believe there is a prophecy that I must keep from occurring."

"W-Wh-What prophecy?" Spike asked in a shaking voice.

"The one of a special dragon that is destined to stop me," the Dark Master snarled to Spike angrily. "I must prevent that from happening of my universe conquering."

Spike suddenly felt anger within him boil. "There's no way you're taking my child!"

"On the contrary," the Dark Master started, "I do plan on taking your child, no matter what it takes." Suddenly, he felt something more powerful from the egg nearby, making him grin maliciously as he said: "I think I have other plans for your child, though."

Spike felt afraid by the tone in the evil dragon's voice. He spread his wings, taking flight and tried to charge the Dark Master, who simply knocked him back with a closed paw, causing Spike to flung right back to a nearby mountain.

Cackling evilly, the Dark Master spoke coldly to the near unconscious Spike. "You shouldn't underestimate the power of the Darkness. The darkness is greater than the light and brightness altogether. But, I think I should end this right now."

Raising his claws into the air, the Dark Master saw fear in Spike's eyes when a slow motion happened. The claws of the Dark Master was slowly reaching for Spike's heart, when suddenly, the younger dragon vanished in a flash of light, prompting the evil dragon to stop all of a sudden.

But, that didn't stop the Dark Master from walking towards the cave Spike had just gone out of before confronting him. There, the evil dragon saw a light blue dragoness with a blue colored egg underneath her wing.

Ember noticed the Dark Master when she growled viciously at him for intruding her territory.

"Please, none of that," the Dark Master said coldly to Ember, knocking her out with an dark spell from his glowing right paw before it stopped glowing. "I am merely going to take your egg, safe-keeping it, and make it the General of my Armies."

The Dark Master grinned darkly when he reached the blue egg that laid harmlessly under the unconscious Ember's form. The evil dragon took the egg in his cold paws, before vanishing in a dark flash of darkness.

The plan already in motion, the Dark Master was none too happy with how this is going to turn out in the next few days once the egg hatches.
