"Don't do that, there is no need to. We can answer whatever request you have, but if you eliminate the tree of Harmony, you will have nothing left to protect yourself." Princess Celestia frowned, and Snow smirked.

"Why is the Dark Hunt proclaimed only now, and why am I hunted because if a simple hereditary sign. They are my requests," said the Alicorn, as Twilight stepped forward.

"The Dark Hunt is meant to get rid of all dark magic users. All around Equestria, people are getting hurt because of fanatics of chaos, and dark magic users in general. This is why we decided to take down every single dark magic entity, to clear the kingdom of the chaos it brings."

Snow raised a brow, and scoffed. "So... If I understand well... You want to get rid of a type of magic just because it is powerful..? I mean, that's the subtext of what you say... Or maybe it is because it is more powerful than you? Is that the core of friendship? If it is more powerful than you, then kill it? Because it seems cool that way. I really wanna make friends." She frowned sharply.

"No, this is not what I meant. Dark magic is dangero-," started Twilight, not able to finish.

"Dangerous to you! Dark magic is nothing but a hereditary trait! Oh my God, two books have been cursed with dark magic, we need to get rid of 10% of the population! What are you going to do, uh? Send me to Tartarus because I like Discord? Or maybe because I dislike the princesses? What a fine monarchy it is. Democratic as fuck!"

Snow started to have a more and more aggressive tone, her horn glowing progressively menacing. Twilight frowned and made her horn glow as well. A fight of Alicorns? Nope.

"Twilight, stop. Fighting magically is of no use... Go bring your friends here. We need the power of Friendship."

"Oh, you are going to try and kill me, or banish me into the Abyss?" Snow smirked. She was more and more sure of what she wanted to do. "You know what? I am treated as a villain, I might as well be one!"

She smirked more and suddenly started to rush toward Twilight, her horn glowing with a sudden blast of magic toward the little Alicorn, as another ball of magic surrounded her, and engulfed her into another place as the magic disappeared, Twilight growling and stomping her hoof down onto the ground.

"The blast was a bait!" She suddenly yelled, her horn glowing uncontrollably.

Somewhere unknown...

"Uh... I hate teleportation... Where did I crash..?" She looked around, her eyes dazed and blurred, as she wobbled down onto the ground, only able to see a dark, holed figure walking in front of her before going unconscious, tired down by such a use of magic...

~~~~~~~~~~~

When she woke up again, she quickly started to look at her surroundings frantically, a bit panicked. How could she had fallen asleep in here?! It was a cave, a very deep, obscure cave, only enlightened by shiny green substances on the ground, looking a bit like saliva and slime mixed.

"Don't be so scared, child..." A voice then rang in the cave, echoing on the walls and ringing in her ears as she shrunk a bit. As powerful as she was, she was scared. "I am harmless... To you."

As the voice corrected itself, Snow looked up, the voice becoming more focused. A creature then started to crawl out of a small crackle on the wall, a dark and holed one. It took Snow half a second to realize who was coming to her. Queen Chrysalis.

"Queen Chrysalis..?" She started to softly back away, her horn glowing. She knew that if she wanted, she could obliterate Chrysalis, but something in the back of her mind told her that she might be useful in order to finally overthrow Twilight and her Friendship...

"Yes, it is me indeed..." Chrysalis landed slowly onto the ground, looking at Snow with a smirk and a psychotic look, her head twitching some. "Love... Finally... Given to me in a golden plate..."

"You did say you were harmless so..." The dark glow of her horn vanished and she approached the Changeling. "I mean, you don't have a kingdom anymore, and nobody loves you. Even I don't." She smirked.

"Don't be so arrogant, young pony... There is always love in everyone..." She smirked and opened her mouth, using her powers to start the process of stealing Snow's love to feed off it, before realizing that after a few seconds, no love came out of her, and this time, it was Chrysalis who shrunk.

"I told you. You have nothing, I have magic. So bow down." Snow smirked and chuckled, as Chrysalis grumbled and bowed down in front of her. "Good. My plan is to overthrow the Princesses. Any idea?" Snow turned around and started to wander in the cave, looking at the walls and the ways to break in. She wouldn't want any intruder.

"I already tried... The power of Friendship does everything... They get beaten, and then they do a miserable little speech, and they get back up stronger than ever!" Chrysalis growled in frustration, and Snow chuckled.

"Then we have to divide them... To convince them not to use the Elements... Not to use their friendship." Snow smirked and used her magic to make Chrysalis get up on her hooves. "I think your society-dividing ability might be of use, Chrysalis..."

Twilight's Castle, a few hours after the disappearance of Snow.

"We have to get her!"
"We can't let her escape like this!"
"What if she tries another thing on the Tree?"
"What if, What if she kills one of us?!"

Twilight was in panic. A dark magic powered Alicorn? It was not good. She could easily match the power of both of the Leaders of Equestria, and if she could do that, it meant that she herself was in danger.

"Please Twilight, calm down! We will get her! But your magic always works better when you are calm and thoughtful!" Spike frowned at her, his little wings flapping behind him as he tried to follow Twilight while she circled around the magic table of the Great Hall.

"I know, I know! But this is bad! Even worse than Sombra ruling Equestria! This time, this Alicorn could rule everything! If she managed to wipe us away, she would be able to tear everyone apart..."

"Ooor, if you get her with your friends by surprise, she could be in trouble!" Spike grinned at his idea before suddenly, a knock could be heard at the door.

Twilight and Spike exchanged glances before Twilight went to the big double doors of the castle. "Yes, do you need something?" She asked with a forced smile as the Pegasus behind the door jumped at her, panicked.

"Princess! We need help! Manehattan is in trouble! Sombra is back again!" This sent Twilight into panic again, shaking. "You need to get there with your friends and help us! Only I was able to get out of his grasp!" Twilight looked at Spike and sighed, nodding and frowning determinedly at the Pegasus.

"We will get there. Spike, you stay here to watch the castle with Starlight." Twilight walked outside, and Spike walked to the Pegasus, smiling.

"Thanks for having gotten us. You will be greatly rewarded for your act." He grinned, and suddenly fell to the ground without a noise as the Pegasus walked inside with him.

"Oh, I will wait impatiently for my reward, little dragon..." She smirked as a flash of green magic engulfed her and left, Chrysalis standing there as she started to absorb Spike's love for Rarity and all his friends as she used her magic in the meantime to create a vision bubble onto the table. "It has begun, my L-Lord." She still had trouble calling someone else that. "I suggest you do something about Sombra. He is supposed to be in Manehattan..."

Snow sighed and facepalmed herself, before looking around at the cave. "Welp, let's do it then..." Her horn suddenly glowed, and a crackle appeared in the cave. Not in the wall, but in space itself, as she started to easily break the seals containing the Abyss. And at some point the crackle exploded, and she was thrown a few yards away, smirking as smoke appeared around the cave.

His voice then started ringing in the cloud. "Who is the unconscious creature who decides to free the Mighty, the One and Only, the-"

"The King Sombra who will do whatever I tell him to if he doesn't want to go back into the Abyss..." She stopped him and growled, her magic suddenly glowing again as the smoke disappeared slowly, Sombra falling down onto the ground and grumbling. He looked at Snow and raised a brow.

"Who are you, arrogant brat? Don't you know who I am?! I mean- Yes, you did say my name... But how dare you stop me in my sudden burst of power?" Snow smirked and chuckled.

"Bow down to me, and you will be given Manehattan. You will also be able to win against the Elements of Harmony. The Queen Chrysalis is at work, taking over the Castle of Friendship and stealing love. Your job is to distract the ponies who beat you every time. Put up your best fight. If you succeed in wasting their time long enough, then I will get you out of the Abyss again to rule your Empire. But if you succeed in wasting my time... Then goodbye..."

As she said that, her horn glowed, and Sombra tried to say something back before he suddenly was teleported away, into an alley of Manehattan. "Now, onto the main show..." She smirked as she used her magic again, groaning in pain as he body started to change slowly, taking the appearance of Starlight Glimmer. She looked at herself, and at her horn, as she slowly made her magic become clearer until it appeared as pure magic.

"My Lord, the castle has been overthrown. Everything is ready for your arrival..." She heard in the still open vision bubble, seeing inside it two cocoons, with Starlight and Spike inside them, with Chrysalis standing in Starlight's room with the cocoons at her hooves.

"Put these in the cave you used to trap Cadence. You are powerful enough, right?" She smirked, and Chrysalis nodded, as the vision bubble disappeared and she started laughing. "i didn't know being in charge felt so great!!" She grinned at herself, loving her new voice as she used her magic to teleport away, into Starlight's bedroom...
