This Little Twisted World of Ours

Rainbow Dash

The blue blur zipped across Ponyville trying to get to Twilight's, knocking down a passerby pony with her speeds. "Uh- S-sorry!" She wasted no time and briskly sped towards the castle, stopping just before she hit the door. She let out a sigh of relief before knocking on the door what seemed like a dozen times in a couple seconds.

As the seconds passed and she became giddy until finally Twilight opened the door.

Once again, Rainbow wasted no time and flew right in towards the cutie map.

Twilight was a little shocked by her sudden burst, following her. "Wha- Rainbow?! What's wrong?"

Rainbow cocked her head. "What do you mean 'what's wrong?!' I let some yappy villain get loose! I bet they're on their way here RIGHT NOW to try and take over Ponyville! Or steal Alicorn magic!"

Twilight put on a worried face, hoping it isn't a previous villain. "Who?! Is it Tirek? Did Sombra return?! Chrysalis?!"

Rainbow shook her head profusely. "NO! It's... uh... somepony else... but he isn't a pony. I've never seen it before actually... it was tall and had finger-"

Before she could finish, Twilight freaked out once more, "a HUMAN?! What is a human doing in equestria?! Speak to me!"

"A human? Those weird ape-looking things that you never stopped going on about? This one is even weirder! He's wearing armor as if he were some Royal Guard, but it's all black! He's also got this crazy eye going on."

Twilight put a hoof to her chin, looking down. "That's strange... I'm not sure if I've heard of such a thing." She then looked back up before gasping and running to her library.

Rainbow Dash would facehoof, slowly striding along behind. "Do we really need to read a bunch of boring books... AGAIN?!"

"If we don't research this then we'll never learn what this villain is!" Her face went from worried to excited, "If this is a new species... I'LL BE THE FIRST TO RECORD IT!" She began to skim through dozens of books while Rainbow lazily read through a couple pages and grumbled.

"This sucks..." Rainbow Dash regretted her decision, but she knew she couldn't just get up and leave now.

The two were interrupted by the sound of a bursting door and- "TWILIGHT!"

Pinkie Pie bounced over to her direction as Twilight gawked at her. "What is it, Pinkie?"

Pinkie tightly hugged Twilight before letting go with a bright smile, going on her usual rants. "You won't believe what happened today! So there I was baking my first cake for the day when I heard a knock! I opened the door and saw A NEW FACE! It reminded me of the first time I met you so I was like OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHIHAVETOGETREADY-" Her ranting was interrupted by a hoof stuffed into her mouth.

"Pinkie, slow down! Who was the new pony?"

She released her hoof, Pinkie smiling cheerfully again. "I don't know, I didn't get to ask for his name! I don't think he was a pony though! More like a scary Nightmare Night costume, which is strange because Nightmare Night was months ago and this one made him look like an entirely different creature!"

Twilight glanced at Rainbow, who fell asleep soundly. Twilight scoffed, looking back at Pinkie. "From my understanding, it's the same one Rainbow spoke to. She said this strange creature was a villain!"

"Hmm... well that wouldn't be very nice... I was looking forward to a party for him!" Pinkie sat and crossed her arms, looking grumpy.

"We aren't positive if he is yet... or WHAT he is, but I have a feeling he isn't evil..." A couple more books floated over to her and landed on the table beside her. She continued to read through the books for any sort of information at all.

Pinkie bounced. "YAY! I can still throw my party!" She took a few books herself to help and quickly skimmed through them.

2 Hours Later

The three were surrounded by skyscrapers and mountains, all made from books. Rainbow Dash grumbled and groaned. "Ugh. I can't read another book..."

Pinkie laid her head on a book. "It's not as fun as I hoped it would be."

Twilight rubbed her eyes. It was clear she was getting a bit tired too. "After all this reading, we still haven't even found a lead! I'm starting to think that this thing is completely new!" After realizing she may have found a completely new discovery, her fatigue washed away immediately. "WE HAVE TO FIND IT!"

Rainbow lowered her brow. "I'm just glad we're done here... Celestia knows I am!" She threw a book to the side.

Pinkie Pie bounced up and trailed towards the door. "I can't wait to throw him a surprise party! We should invite the others!"

The three all left Twilight's castle to get the others and find this new species, traveling through Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, The Everfree Forest, and even The Crystal Empire, but to no avail.

Applejack had her doubts from the get-go if this 'thing' even existed and was starting to think something was up. "Ah know ya care for whatever this alien-lookin' thing is, but are you damn sure it wasn't just some fillies playin' a joke?"

Twilight firmly shook her head. "It can't be. Rainbow herself said she interracted with the creature and it seemed real. She even said a chair spawned out of nowhere behind the species! Whatever it is, it must have it's own magic!" It was clear she wasn't going to be convinced by anypony.

Rarity would join the conversation, looking rather doubtful herself, "A chair? Doesn't that seem a little farfetched, darling?"

"I'm on Twi's side with this. It felt pretty REAL while in the moment if you ask me! Besides, we've seen some crazy shit! Discord himself is enough to prove that one!" Rainbow giggled to herself on her own comment.

Twilight chose to ignore their advances to convince her as if they were arguing with a boulder and just continued searching for the creature.

The Crystal Empire

The large demon, weilding his also large hammer, slowly approached the Empire, melting the snow around him with his body heat. A thin red aura glew from his body, similar to his red eyes. He smiled at the sight of the peaceful Empire, standing before it. Without another thought, he entered and terrorized ponies with just his appearance alone, causing most to nervously run away. He was confronted by two guardsponies nearby.

"HALT! You are to lay down your weapon and surrender peacefully!"

Chernobog chuckled at their cute little attempt at threatening him and stomped his foot torwards them, knocking them away like dolls.

The two had no time to react, a viscous shadow catching their eyes before they were slammed into the ground by the hammer he held. He took the severely injured two using what seemed to be magic and flung them across the Empire.

Chernobog began to laugh to himself, clenching a fist. "You can't tell me that's the best this failure of an Empire has to offer! What a waste of space..." He growled, continuing to terrorize the streets. He couldn't take his eye off the castle in the Empire, and that's exactly where he was headed next, cracking his knuckles in the hopes of creating utter hell for everypony. It wouldn't be long until the treacherous demon did what he promised to do long ago.
