chapter one

: This is a fanfic of my little pony; I usually like to do anthropomorphism, but considering that I am starting a new then why not my online experiences as well. I will try to do it without anthropomorphic ponies, and then I will try it with if I am not impressed. I do not think I’ll succeed in leaving the blood out so... This is the first official work I have done in years so I will first lay claim to my creations… ahem! :

My little pony and its universe are not my copyright but of Lauran Faust. Starsteel, Blackheart, Tricky and trickster, Shaman, and T-biscuit, are my intellectual property, as well as the nobodies.

: Okay now where do I begin? … oh and I may have typed Starsteel throughout a section of the story, it is Starsteel but I may change it later. :

Once upon a time in the land of Equestria, there was a yellow pegasus pony with pink hair, her name is flutter shy, she un sleeping restlessly under her covers.

In her dreams she is only a foal; the scene is of a shattering canyon side as heavy gales muffle the screaming as she is trying to communicate over the voices of everyone else. The scene is turned to a black stallion, practically a young teen, as he is looming over the princess of Equestria. Celestia the white allicorn with the cool colored rainbow hair bays a spell that over encumbers the chaos. As time stands still everypony is whisked away as chains hold the young stallion to the ground.

His wail in despair and anguish is heard as his cutie mark is clearly visible in her eyes. The wing with the star and chain over top is what she sees when she comes to.

She thinks in a nervous tone, and then she utters a name.

Fluttershy=Starsteel, why?

The Sun rises on Ponyville, a small and early western town which seems to bend around its capital building. The light shines through windows and roosters crow as the morning bids a temporary farewell to the soothing blanket of night. The purple unicorn, twilight sparkle, lies in her bed surrounded by books wakes then hops out of bed revealing her cutie mark with sparkles galore, for the sound knocking on the library door; she heads down into her large library still a slight mess from all the studying. She opens the door to see a white unicorn diamonds on her flank, with her stylish blue/velvet hair and tail; her name was Rarity, with a look of concern on her face.

Twilight yawns inviting the concerned mare inside as Rarity begins to speak” Do you know where Fluttershy might be? She is not home and her animals look worried.”

Twilight grabs a cup of tea and takes a sip as she ponders” she has been a little restless I’ve noticed.”

“I know… let’s get the others and start looking for her.”

Twilight and Rarity step outside and look around the awakening town, with a nod Rarity walks off” I’ll find Rainbow Dash,”

“Then I will get Applejack.”

Meanwhile at Sweet Apple Acres orchid, three ponies are moving baskets of apples Twilight approaches.

The smallest lemon yellow one has a bow in her red hair Apple bloom, and the red eldest blond brother Big Macintosh continue to work while the middle one orange also blond and wearing a cowgirl hat with apples for her mark meets her in the middle.

“Howdy twilight, you don’t look so hot.”

“It’s Fluttershy she is missing; we need to look for her.”

She nods as she goes to talk to her brother.

Zipping through the sky, a blue pegasus with rainbow hair and tail mark being a cloud with a rainbow thunderbolt, Rainbow dash spots Rarity who seems to be yelling to her from the ground below.

“I wonder what she wants.”

As she comes within hearing range she hears Rarity” Fluttershy is missing we need to find her!”

She gives a nod and a wave before beginning her search.

As they take off around town a pink pony with poufy hair walks in front of twilight, they are talking as a strange orb approaches them from a few blocks away.

The pink pony Pinkie Pie nods and walks away while yelling for the yellow pegasus.

Twilight looks down the road with suspicion” are we being watched?”

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile, in the mountains in an abyssal canyon where no light can reach, Fluttershy is scared; the shadow reflects the dark blue color of the stones, but still continuing through the hazardous rocks. She catches eye of a giant bird, a rauk had perched above it. Fluttershy peaks up at the monstrous bird” um… h-hello Mr. big bird.”

She is approached with the bird’s predatory gaze as she starts to panic, the bird ducks as it opens its mouth and a voice is heard.

“get out of my domain pegasai!”

She starts to run” But I have to see him!”

“No you don’t!” hollered the bird as it catches her in its beak.

She lets out a wail and kicks for her life; she manages to kick the giant bird in the eye. It releases her in pain dropping her into the abyss, she manages to fly up and into a decorated cave covered with bones; The bird barely able to squeeze through gaining on the fleeing mare.

She flies out of the other end of the tunnel; the bird is caught and unable to turnaround as she glides over the underground abyss. The giant dome under the mountain has a smaller structure, it’s castle appearance is complemented by its many gargoyles.

“I think I turned the wrong way, I must have let it chase me into a different area.”

She sees a small hole as the bird squawks breaking past the thin tunnel and into the giant dome. The pony flees into the small tunnel hundreds of feet down the abyss. She escapes once again into the canyon. But it looks different, it was just as her nightmares described, the heavy storm and the gales left the scene as if trapped in time, like another universe hidden from Equestria by the deadliest storm. The winds stole her breath as she struggles over to a pile of rocks leaning against the limestone cliff bottom. Her best bet being to hold her breath and cover her face as she approached the rubble; through the tiny crevices she saw a black stallion barely six years older than her. The pain filled her eyes as they made contact with his through the cracks of rock.

She walks back toward the cave to catch her breath, she sits in the entrance” Starsteel… you’re alive.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Pinkie pie, the pink pony with balloons on her flank is searching frantically for her under every rock when suddenly her whole body goes mad, twitching and squirming like she had been possessed. The other four run up to her in concern as she stands back up” I have-twitch! –no idea what happened.” as she continues to go on with her twitching twilight is trying to calm her” it must be your pinky since.”. Rainbow dash gives her a light slap calming the pink pony.

Rainbow dash exclaiming” what is wrong with you?”

Pinky in an unbelievably calm tone” either the bakery blew up and the fire is spreading throughout town or Fluttershy is in a very bad kind of peril.”

Twilight looks down from the road at Sugar Cube Corner, the bakery pinkie works at, and says” can you try applying that sense to finding her?”

“Sadly no.”

Apple jack gets an idea” I know! Winona might be able to trail her, I’ll go get her.”

Twilight=And I will go to her house and find something with her scent.

The other three ponies continue their mad search for it had been hours. Their minds were full of concern for their friend.

Meanwhile Fluttershy is still in the mountain, she tries to take a last breath before starting to move the rocks, every rock she kicked off of the pile seemed to send chills down her spine, she gazes at one of the chains holding him, the light emanated through the rocks, a beautiful and eerie glow started to fade as she hears a moan, a tone that cuts into her mind stirring acid in the pit of her soul. An indescribable fear suddenly overtakes her causing her to gasp, the high wind steals her breath as she struggle back to the cave. Finally able to breath she starts to hear a voice. She can barely understand it.

She rushes out at full speed; her teary eyes are dried by gales as she delivers a powerful kick to the hook holding the uncovered bind. An angry pulse, a heavy shockwave of negative energy sweeps the kingdoms; all of the Ponyville citizens suddenly feel a despair that wreaks havoc on the once cheery hearts and minds. The other five look in terror as some of the ponies even faint and get sick. The five heroes get weaker as they struggle to meet.

Applejack unable to hold in the negativity forcing out the tears of sorrow the cowgirl could not hold back, she tries to call, Winona the Border collie that had just went nuts and took off.

They gather unable to speak through the sudden fear, sorrow and doubt that overwhelmed them.

She faints unable to breathe while unconscious, though the sounds of breaking metal she manages to stay awake enough to see a shadow, with his free leg thrashing the metal and rocks. She fades as it approaches.

A voice is heard before passing out” what have you done, it was for you I was sealed…”

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The sky lights up as a large allicorn with a crown from earlier, Celestia with a look of anger and concern approaches the five” where is Fluttershy!?” the cluelessness of the five and the chaos going on around them filled her with fear.

Twilight steps forward” she is gone.”

She looks at the sobbing purple mare” no… she must have been contacted by HIM.”

Rainbow dash=who?!

Celestia= we must find Fluttershy, she no doubt is in the durance of hate, there was an evil sealed that currently is breaking free. I will explain when you return; and grab the elements.

The five ponies are directed to the mountains, as they run to them they hear her voice” pray you are fast young ones, for the evil in there is unlike any force you should ever know! I can’t go with for the magic there repels my very being! Follow the clouds!”

As they fade pinkie waves as they vanish.

“I ignored this mistake for far too long”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Hours later they show up at the base of the mountains, they see a boat floating gently down the river. As it docs by them they rush to the boat to find a sleeping Fluttershy, she was covered by a few snakes, they hissed as the other five approached the boat. The pony in the boat wakes up with her smile assuring the snakes that they were good, they slithered away.

The depressed pony is hugged by the other five, as they all talked at once she busts into tears. They back up from her as twilight responds” what’s the matter, what happened?”

The troubled mare looks up in shame” I wasn’t thinking, I was weak but curious, I heard who I thought was a loved one from long ago, but instead it was a monster. Something compelled it to save me I just know it.”

As she explains her story , her words ran like a river as her eyes got wider and wider, she gets louder as rainbow dash places a hoof on her shoulder” it’s okay, let’s go back.”  The scene switches over to Celestia who had gathered a few soldiers.

Celestia is marching back and forth” alright men I have hired a few detectives to go with you to see what is there to deduce what happened. This is top secret and no one is to leave or enter the town.”

As they salute there attention is drawn towards the rauk the giant bird crashes, it becomes lifeless as Celestia gasps” Magus!” she rushes over to the bird” my old friend!’ she mourns as the soldiers leave to meet the main six.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, a lustrous capital city holding Celestia’s domain, the once beautiful city is now a darkened domain filled with weak and helpless ponies as the black figure, slightly taller than Fluttershy, but with the same complexion and eyes, his mane is a grey haze; as he enters the palace entrance. The doors were kicked down and the grand hall, banners hanging as the darkness stole color from the scenery visible only by the moonlight, were the soldiers were all unable to move, some had met the grim collector from there shock from the negative emotions provided by the shadows.

The dark room started to glow with the moons light, a smaller allicorn, Luna blue with a nightly aura for a mane and tail approaches. He cocks his head to see her, he stomps his front hooves, and she readies herself for the unexpected. Upon raising his front hooves, the wingless entity bays, the energy finishes off all those within a few hundred yards, Luna feels the negativity as she fires a lunar energy beam at the foe.

The shadow disappears with amazing speed, he meets her with his back hooves only to be gouged with the horn and carried into the ceiling. Luna drops him with her front hooves dropping him to the ground. He vanishes in the same speed and they lock hooves in battle.

Luna=HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY HOME!

????????=You clearly never heard of me!?

She endures another wail while pushing the dark stallion back into a wall” I don’t care who you are, you will not get away with this!”

A flash of light makes way for Celestia who feeds energy into her horn blasting him into a wall; the light reveals the ghastly demon within.

“Luna run, go help the six!”

“BUT!-“

“Just do it I can’t help them, I will slow him down, he will only get stronger from the negativity!”

Upon seeing the fear in Celestia’s eyes Luna takes off to help the six, and the soldiers sent to find any help at the site Fluttershy went to.

………………………………………………………………………………………..

Meanwhile the five are arguing at the base of the mountain in the forest rather to scale the mountain to find the durance of hate, or too take Fluttershy back into town.

Twilight is sitting in the middle as she tries to resolve the situation.

Applejack=well whatever scared the tarnation out of Wynona can’t be good for us, and besides look at Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy is looking around the forest then turns back towards the mountains.

Rainbow dash= look! If the cause is up there and it is bad then we cannot wait, we have the element of harmony let us go kick it’s flank before some pony gets killed!

Pinkie pie= let us agree at least that it is not entirely evil.

They all look at her

“well it let Fluttershy go, and on top it protected her on the way down with those snakes.”

Rarity” just long enough to gather more supplies, the energy lifted but the clouds are still there, obviously if is either gone or sleeping. Either way it left something behind.”

Twilight approaches Fluttershy who is eerily quiet” so Fluttershy, about what you told us.”

Fluttershy looks up at her” he was named Starsteel, he was an earth pony… but… he… walks on clouds.”

The pegasus looks up through the canapé and starts to tear again” yet he couldn’t fly, you see he always made it up and down from Cloudsdale. He loved me and my mother though he pushed us away, afraid to ask of his father…”

Twilight and Fluttershy exchange looks as her eyes start to become nostalgic” he never felt love, everyone hated him but… me and mommy he was barely a teen. And… I was barely old enough to remember him, or what happened.”

She starts to tremble, twilight lays a hoof on her shoulder” that’s enough for now. Twilight walks to the others” Fluttershy needs to rest, Rarity, rainbow dash. I need you two to watch her. AJ pinkie and I will look for answers. Anyone older than us must know what happened.

Meanwhile the guards watching the town were most alert as they watched several and two detectives walk into the forest.

The two detectives were earth ponies with silver bodies and blue manes, as they entered the forest below the mountains they intercept the six.

Twilight gestures for the other five to go as she walks up to the detectives.

“go guys… we have Fluttershy, we are going to find some answers, some villagers may know.”

Detective#1= that’s great of you, we are going to take a look at the scene following this map to see if the creature left anything, we’ll keep in touch.

They continued on their way to Ponyville.

Upon entering the now guarded city Fluttershy sees her bunny angel, hopping up to Fluttershy. They are in the library twilight lives in as Rainbow dash and Rarity are spending time with the stricken mare.

Applejack and pinkie pie make their way home for some rest sure to meet them later on.

In the nightly clouds Luna is watching over the six” I was on the moon for so long. What such calamity so great as to be hidden from even I?”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Midnight and the guards enter the gorge the black stallion was buried in. the guards enter the area behind the two detectives. The wind and storm is gone with only thunder clouds above their heads. The guards start to get dizzy as the detectives drop there dusters and hats and walk to the rocks. One of the guards notice two question marks like blades over a star on one of the flanks, and on the other is the same but in reverse; like a yin/yang.

The guards start to get up as the closest guard yells to them” tricky! You are in prison!”

The concerned guards try to run at the male horse as the female floats away. The two silver horses were none other than two guns for hire Tricky being the sister, the brother trickster stomped on the ground bringing translucent silver wind spikes into the undersides of the unit. Tricky laughed as she meditated in midair; the last few seconds of life in their eyes bared witness to the wings and horns emerging from the two earth ponies.

The two siblings with an evil laugh use there horns magic to quickly brush off the rocks, this revealed the pentagram. The glowing star with chains and the illustration of a black horse holding the chains adding to a bazaar 3D effect.

Trickster= okay sis, destroy the pentagram, but do not let any blood land on it.

Tricky=yes I am aware of that!

The head of the guards’ squadron lying on the ground next to his fallen comrades manages to lift a hoof throwing his blade at the distracted villains. They dodge but trickster is cut slightly enough as to let a spot of crimson drip from the thigh and onto the edge of the pentagram.

They both stare in shock as the star lights up. A vortex shoots to the sky as a dark chant is heard; the vortex dissipates revealing a black stallion, with white hair and a familiar cutie mark.

The star and chain in a realistic depiction overlapping a wing sparks the concern in the two twins’ eyes

Tricky=well this is bad.

Trickster=were allicorn remember? Let’s kill this one then go.

The white irises of the hell stricken black horse sent chills down there spine as he vanishes, trickster using the strange power they got dissolves the ground around him and turns the dissolved material to create four flying swords” you can’t beat our conversion abilities!”

A black and grey streak catches him off guard knocking him into tricky, as they both gain there balance they hear his voice” you sold your soul to a false profit for an imaginary power. Just then he charges the two allicorns. As trickster locks hooves the black stallion, he counters trickies’ behind attack with a buck to the neck.

Trickster hooves him in the face but is countered by a grab, the black stallion throws the brother at the sister. They both send summoned swords at the horse; the black stallion grabs all eight blades and sends them back.

“you think that with a power for intellectuals that you would at least train first.” The two allicorn are sobbing in pain as the blades lift from their bodies. They grab the sword in there hooves as the black stallion grabs two crystals sitting in the ground. The two allicorn swing frantically unable to out speed his counter attacks. After a crystal to tricksters face they fly away.

Trickster” we will return mule!”

As they fly away they are weakened by a wicked wail that forces their wings and horns to retract, causing them a rough landing and trip down the mountain.

They guard left alive is barely awake as the black stallion approaches” where is blackheart? And most importantly my sister?”

The guard is barely alive as it is; the black stallion lifts him onto his shoulder. The guard utters a small phrase” she is sorry Starsteel.”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Memories dig out from the subconscious of everypony’s mind as the town became restless. Luna is in the library with twilight as they go through their books.

Luna=this is most recent, the shadow being did not seem no older that you, in his mid-twenties perhaps.

Fluttershy is outside talking to her bunny ,angel, as pinky pie walks up” you know I brought up that stallion you called Starsteel and you know what, everyone seems to get exited!”

Fluttershy=exited?

“Yah! They are breathless and they get really wide eyed!”

“Um… pinkie pie, you should sit down-“

Before she could finish pinky pie sits leaning on the shy pegasus” okay I’m ready!”

Meanwhile sweat apple acres, Applejack is bucking the apples out of trees as Big-Mac walks up to her with empty baskets ready to fill. The mare with a quiet tone looks to Big-Mac” hey Mac.”

“Eeyup” said the red stallion as he put a piece of wheat in his mouth.

“Do ya by any circumstance know a starsteel?”

With that Big-Mac swallows the wheat with a look of concern in his eyes” where did you get that name from?”

Applejack= he was buried that’s all I know, flutter shy knew him well but…”

“Let’s talk inside” they walked to the barn as the red stallion appears to be holding back emotion.

Rainbow dash and Rarity come are on their way to the library when they see a black stallion carrying a guard.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Fifteen years ago, the scene in Fluttershys’ dreams real as the Pegasus is being held back by the tremendous wind and Celestia is barely standing. His wail is heard as the canyon collapses, chains hold the blackheart back as Starsteel sinks into the earth in an attempt to bring him with. Everyone is fleeing as the crying foal Pegasus struggles to break free from a very young Big-Mac.

Five days before that, princess Celestia is asleep in her well decorated throne, her dreams of a black stallion with the star, chain, and wing on his flank ready to smite the princess wake her. She gazes at her clock, she hears a knock, and she heads down the giant halls of the castle into her throne room. There she beholds a very old and ominous zebra, with his Swahili accent invites her into a circle.

She sits in front of a bowl where she places s few strands of hair and a part of her hoof” please tell me what my dreams mean to me.“ forgetting the introductions the shaman summons fire from the bowl, in it the dreams that plague her sleep.

“on the turn of the twenty eighth year, A sword of death will grow very near.

Upon the stone the mad king shall rise, To bring the tyrant to her demise.

As the curse of the tainted heart brought to light before the final countdown.

Don’t rest my queen upon her return a twin shall rise, and then peace ever grown”

The princess looks in awe as her vision reveals the black stallion with six wings, each a different color and of each one holding an element of harmony. She thinks about it” what does this mean may I ask?”

The shaman replies” it is your future, you tell me.”

“thanks shaman, I hope to see you soon.”

Meanwhile in Ponyville there is a very young Big-Mac, he is running through the orchids, a very young colt, with the cutie mark from the dream, was gaining on him. As Big-Mac turns around he runs right into the black horses hoof” tag.”

The black horse then turns and runs away.

As they chase each other a blonde unicorn is looming over a very young yellow pony, the two males jump over her and the baby mare aggravating the unicorn.

She grabs them with her magic. As they try to keep running away she turns them around.

Starsteel=before you speak T-biscuit let me explain.

T-biscuit=no! no excuses! You could trample young applejack here!

They both stare at each other than at a laughing baby applejack.

Starsteel=enough of the look!

He points jokingly at applejack who starts to get up and walk over to him. Big-Mac starts to giggle at T-biscuit” I think sees fine, he can’t hurt applejack, or his adoptive mother in the clouds.”

The three foals carry applejack into the barn, before entering Starsteel turns around” I got to go my brother senses are tingling.”

He runs off and vanishes in no time; the unicorn hands applejack over and then leaves to” I have to get home.”

As the sun sets he runs into a clothing store, from outside” yes… yes, yes- hello to you to rarity- yes! dank you thid vill come in handy!” he storms out into the street then releases a powerful jump taking him into the air, soon he lands on a cloud, with a special blanket in his mouth, the throws it on top of two mares, a baby Fluttershy and a similar looking mother.

“you’re back, a zebra was looking for you. What did you do?”

“n-n-n… actually nothing this time. It’s weird usually I do something bad… very bad-but by mistake! but not today.”

The next day young Mac wakes up with T-biscuit and Starsteel looming over him.

As they stare at each other Mac grins” searching for the Slithery Dee?”

“the reptile that comes from the sea when children are near with no adults around?” said the two” Yes!” they yelled as the three bolted out the door.

Later they are by the lake, T-biscuit standing by herself as the other two wait patiently with a net. Mac has his eyes on the lake, and Starsteel on T-biscuit.

Mac whispers over” try singing!”

“um… The Slithery Dee came out of the la-err sea, and ate all the children but did not eat me?”

As they wait and grow impatient t-biscuit walks away from the lake. Mac spots a bazaar creature, like a bird but with a serpent body and humanlike teeth jutted from the lake.

From on top of a cloud a hooded figure is watching as the tiny unicorn is paralyzed with fear and the two males rush at the creature.

Starsteel bucked the creature, but not before grabbing the mare in its jaws. The buck makes the hideous creature yelp as she falls into its gullet, the horn sticking out far enough to be severed with a spine chilling snap. Screams are heard from inside the creature as Mac drops the net and grabs a sharp stick” spit her out!”

The creature swallows him next, as the horror overtakes Starsteel, he runs into the creatures gullet biting onto the uvula, this in turn forces the monster to throw up the two other foals. Still holding on the creature inhales, the black foal kicks off his horseshoes, with the nails still attached to the round metal the creature breathes them into his throat. As the creature squirms Mac picks up the unicorn, with the severed horn in his mouth and watches Starsteel walk out of the creature.

Mac=you beat it!

Starsteel=HOSPITAL NOW!

The two run back into town with T-biscuit over their shoulder.

……………………………………………………………………………………..

Big-Mac is in the modern day with Applejack as he becomes more nostalgic” once we got her to town I continued as he was side tract by the villagers who saw the mark on his flank, the town was informed to watch out for a great evil force with the mark on his thigh. The villagers ridiculed him for endangering his friends; they then proceeded to surround him.”

The scene switches over to Pinky and Fluttershy, who are both outside the doors library. Fluttershy is crying as she tries to control herself.

“It was not his fault, his sign means something good. But when the authorities took him to the police station to hide him from the crowd, he started to panic unable to see his friend. They drug him into an armored room.”

Back in the past there is a light looming over him, his memories of his mother in emotional pain haunting him, he could tell how he was born and was amazed on how she still loved him dearly. The chief of police a pegasus in a black duster walks in with shaman.

Shaman points the chief out.” what’s your name child?”

“Starsteel… what about…”

“She is fine now, she can’t use magic but she may learn to cope.”

“Did they find the beast by the lake?”

“No, the creature was a manifestation of repressed negativity and rumor.”

As they sat and waited his mother came in, he ran over to her crying” mother what’s going on this zebra and a chicken in a black coat and the town is mad at me…”

“No my child, they are just afraid, it was a rumor and a myth, they are overreacting.”

Shaman=no mam, though they are overreacting… a prophecy was told, and the word got around among the earth ponies. Your son is believed to be a great evil that threatens the princess herself.

The young stallion looks in shock” m-m-m-m-me… ME! I know I hate the higher class but now you are overreacting!”

The mother cradles him in her wing” what will you do?”

“I must conduct a ritual to see if he is a threat. If so then Celestia will decide.”

As she ponders her options she looks at the black stallion” you will be fine, no harm will come to you.”

“Fluttershy let me see her.”

As shaman goes to speak two police colts storm in” sir we have to move a riot is about to form.”

Outside Fluttershy is watching from the clouds in panic as she sees a black cloud leave the building and rush away. The citizens down below blame the young stallion of black magic; as the other half of the city trying to calm the ignorant masses.

The tiny yellow pony jumps down, flapping her wings with all her might to prevent from hitting the ground, after the soft landing she runs after the cloud, Big-Mac sees the young foal then runs after her.

The panicking foal breaks out of the cloud and starts to fall.

Shaman=NO CHILD!

As he hits the ground shaman lands next to him and immediately starts to heal his wounds. He sees a baby Fluttershy and Big-Mac in the distance” no children go back to the town, others are sure to chase you down!

Villagers are heard in the distance; as the young foal awakes the villagers start to surround them. Their minds filled with negativity, the empathic project can be felt coming from Starsteel as the villagers grow angrier at the tiny stallion. As a larger horse knocks shaman over the foal is picked up by a leg, in pain the young stallion lets out the wail that sends every pony running with sudden fear, and those too emotional did not make it.

The trees were turning yellow as the two other foals approached, Fluttershy barely able to talk runs up to him” brother!!!”

Big-Mac= I’ll carry him Mr.!

Shaman= we must make haste, time we cannot waste!

As they make their way through the pass they are in a canyon. They see a glowing light releasing the princess Celestia” shaman what is this madness?!”

She gazes upon her future killer” give him to me I’ll take him to my palace.”

Before he could reply the villagers dark creatures seemed to possess the villagers and they returned.

“Is he possessing the villagers!?”

“No my queen the monster is inside this child!”

The storms build up as the queen is forced to engage the villagers, Fluttershy is being dragged away, and Celestia’s subjects were trying to kill an innocent foal.  Celestia could feel a monster from the young stallion as she turns towards the shaman crying” I’m sorry!”

She fires her most powerful spell; the confusion from the young stallion causes him to jump in the way.

Shaman= no! I am the sacrifice to seal your demon!

The young stallion wails again as he is struck with the spell, the villagers are set free from their possession as the winds start to suck out the breath of everypony.

The last ten seconds, shaman grasped the foal following him into the seal; the demon became the new Starsteel and was left alone with Celestia. The monster was still a foal but the real Starsteel was in the seal, the shaman and the foal were not worth it to Celestia. The demon starts hacking away at the queen; the villagers were dying due to the high wind. With her last breath she uses all her magic to slow the wind allowing their subjects to flee.

As she feels the fangs sing into her one last magic was cast, she heard the crying of the foal as chains pull the demon away. The canyon side drops as Celestia flees in terror.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

In the present Celestia is heavily wounded and chained down, her magic bound by seals and her body is laid out waiting for somepony. Tricky and trickster arrive” sir one of the guards set him free.”

Blackheart turn to them” without his mother or sister he may never get out, he is negative, hateful, and resentful of all things. Kill the bearers of Harmony.”

They nod, but before they could fly off” wait! I will go, I leave her in your clutches, ready her for the ritual, I must find them myself.”

Celestia=no matter how powerful or successful a villain may seem there is always a horse with their name on it. Pray that yours is merciful.

Blackheart laughs as he vanishes, leaving them with Celestia.

“You two are allicorn? How?”

Tricky=simple! We were granted a fragment of blackhearts power. You see due to simple biology blackheart, and Starsteel are part allicorn.

Trickster=but because of more complicated stuff he has no horn or wings, but he can run fast in clouds and use low level magic. He is a hybrid like yourself, and the most powerful horse in Equestria.

Tricky=all he did was use his magic to switch some of our DNA strands with a spliced version of his own.

Back in Ponyville Luna is outside the city as the main six run to grab the elements.

Luna walks towards the black manifesting cloud” I knew you’d show up.”

“Round two is it? You and the elements of harmony won’t stop me.”

They step into fighting position as the clouds overhead fade shining light in the moonlit scene.

The smoke haired black apparition fired off his wail, Luna seemed un-phased as she sends a hoard of flesh eating bats at him, as the bats die and turn back to darkness, Blackheart fires blindly through the cloud of defeated bats and hits nothing. Luna comes down with all four hooves on top of his head.

As she is thrown off, they both swing around and their hind legs meet and they bounce off of each other.

Luna fires a lunar beam, blackheart turns to dust letting the beam go through.

Blackheart brings a giant shadowy hand down upon Luna, who in turn displays a giant and powerful aura to shield herself as she charges Blackheart.

They both are now hoof fighting in close quarters. The speed of blackheart allows a near fatal blow mixed with a portion of his shadow power mixed in.

Luna collapses as a beam of light shines from the town and hits the evil being. He is laughing as the six ponies sit in shock as his wounds from the fight heal.

“I feed off of positive magic… I am a greater evil after all.”

Rainbow dash and applejack step forwards” you will not get away with this!”

Rarity and twilight step up” we don’t care how big you are!”

Pinkie steps in front of them” we figured you’d be after Fluttershy!”

Blackheart notices the fleeing pegasus and goes to chase her.

Pinkie starts to sprint” Here goes nothing sugar hi-yah!” she gives a powerful head-butt sending him further from the town. Two rocks from the sides come together on him as rainbow dash and apple jack run up to him.

Blackheart grins as he grabs the incoming kicks from the two athletic mares. He throws AJ up in the air and nails Rainbow dash to the ground. Rainbow dash wails in pain as he catches Applejack, he lays his mouth on hers and starts to drain her life.

Another pink hoof comes at him saving the orange mare; the pink pony is taken down in two fast hits and being sent airborne.

Rarity and Twilight then used their magic to control two axes lying nearby, using them to attack to keep him away from the three downed mares, Rainbow dash manages to pull out the nails, she then ruches him leaving a circular rainbow, charging at light speed she brings a super powerful buck to the neck of the demon.

He was sent flying; Rainbow dash was staggering for she was mortally wounded. Twilight and Rarity were helpless to block from the amazing speed that sent them into a building knocking the two into a building, the building was none other than Rarities boutique.

Through the gaping hole the monster was laughing as Rarity levitates all of her sharp blades, scissors, and needle. They all rain into the side of blackheart as Rarity raises herself with a pair of scissors held like knives in each hoof. Twilight got up with a wooden rod that was the blinds as they rush out through the hole and at the villain.

He releases a wail dropping the ponies. He was going to wallow in victory about to feed on the fallen to heal, but a metal farming plow struck him, the injury forced him to flee as Big-Mac ran to check them. The rest of the town left from hiding to aid the fallen mares.

Blackheart’s wail is heard as the moon starts to turn into what appears to be an eye, Luna was gone, and Celestia was in his clutches too.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Fluttershy was running her fasted meeting up with the surviving guard, he was bandaged; flutter runs up to him” so where is that brother of mine? He needs me.”

The guard points towards canterlot, instantly she runs off to the city. As the black stallion Starsteel enters the castle he feels Fluttershy closing in, he is amazed that she flew to him let alone caught up.

Starsteel slows down as Fluttershy jumps on him” oh brother you’ve been gone for so long and I thought you were gone-“

“YOU RELEASED BLACKHEART!”

The mare steps back as her tears start to build up” I’m sorry, I thought it was you.”

Flashbacks seemed to remind her of the lack of interest he had for anypony in Cloudsdale, her being the only Pegasus that he cared for. He seemed to have lost himself after fifteen years in isolation pondering what he did wrong.

Fluttershy feels helpless as her brother walks away” she’s sorry!”

chapter2

: This is a fanfic of my little pony; I usually like to do anthropomorphism, but considering that I am starting a new then why not my online experiences as well. I will try to do it without anthropomorphic ponies, and then I will try it with if I am not impressed. I do not think I’ll succeed in leaving the blood out so... This is the first official work I have done in years so I will first lay claim to my creations… ahem! :

My little pony and its universe are not my copyright but of Lauran Faust. Stardust, Blackheart, Tricky and trickster, Shaman, and T-biscuit, are my intellectual property, as well as the nobodies.

: Okay now where do I continue? …:

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Fluttershy was running her fasted meeting up with the surviving guard, he was bandaged; Fluttershy runs up to him” so where is that brother of mine? He needs me.”

Back in the city Pinky wakes as she is carried to a bed in a medical room at the hospital, she mind is void about the thought of failing her friends. For once she could not smile. Rainbow dash has bandages all over her wings as she walks into the room with applejack; she looks skinnier, and sicker.

“what happened to you?”

“he drained my strength apparently; I am going to be resting in the bed next to you until my strength returns.”

Rainbow dash=I saw your chart, you should be dead, there were nails planted where he had hit you, that is how he beat you in two hits.

Twilight is on a stretcher as Rarity who was lucky enough to go through glass windows instead of the hard wall Twilight endured.

Big-Mac is helping Rarity onto an ambulance, he sees a tiny yellow streak, he sets Rarity down slowly.

Rarity=she’s running after him?

Mac=eeyup.

He starts to walk off” she will return safely.”

She runs off following the yellow pony’s’ tracks

Back where stardust is, he is amazed that she flew to him let alone caught up.

Stardust slows down a Fluttershy jumps on him” oh brother you’ve been gone for so long and I thought you were gone-“

“YOU RELEASED BLACKHEART!”

The mare steps back as her tears start to build up” I’m sorry, I thought it was you.”

Flashbacks seemed to remind her of the lack of interest he had for anypony in Cloudsdale, her being the only Pegasus that he cared for. He seemed to have lost himself after fifteen years in isolation pondering what he did wrong.

Fluttershy feels helpless as her brother walks away” she’s sorry!”

The black stallion turns around” I am only able to do anything because my teacher and only friend up until now was a zebra ghost. He taught me everything I know. I am not mad at Celestia. But I made a promise to make up for the chaos that ensued. I only seek to kill blackheart for now.”

Flutter shy steps up again” let me help you then.”

As the mare starts to cuddle him his thoughts ran blank as he shed his first tear. He hugs the shy pegasus” you have not the courage; you are kind but lack fortitude. If you can muster the will to stand up to your friends, Than you should easily be a match for your enemies.”

“I’m confused.”

“everything I do is from will, you can do anything, it is a shared gift that you need to harness.”

As the older sibling lets go of the younger one the voice leaves her eyes” I can be brave.”

She walks always behind him, expecting to feel warm she instead feels a strange form of concern. She starts to wonder if he was expecting her to fight him instead of blackheart.

As they approach the city of canterlot, all the residents are unconscious as they walk up to the throne.

Fluttershy is able to se into the broken down doors and bares witness to Blackheart as he is chaining up the two princesses, the moonlight shines off of the thin wire, it is tight around the base of the wings.

Stardust rushes with amazing speed cutting the wires before they could cut the wings from the allicorns. This sets off a trap; wires suspend him bringing him into a cocoon of tight sharp wires. Fluttershy runs into the room encountering blackheart, she jumps over him and breaks a hook holding the wire trap into place freeing the black stallion.

Blackheart is yelling manically at the recovering stallion as Fluttershy is kicking away at the chains.

“Hello me it’s I, you, abound to do your dirty work!

But to fall so low as to need rescuing by this foal, you slipped, got weaker, uneasy, foolhardy- a cavalcade of empathic decisions; my one such as we to get caught in such a conundrum- stardust my dearest farewell to myself as I can’t let our dreams fade at the hands of a waste of carbon such as her!”

He dives then at Fluttershy who frees Luna, stardust intercepts blackheart, exchanging blow after blow, and the flow of attacks was fast and hard to witness. Luna releases Celestia as flutter shy waits for an opening to help as stardust delivers a kick from both hooves to the neck stopping blackhearts breathing. He makes a quick recovery then uses magic to summon tricky and trickster, he flees and stardust follows. The twins transform into there allicorns selves, and give chase but are intercepted by the two princesses.

Fluttershy can’t follow stardust and is ordered to flee, she runs to stardust’s battle in the garden. She rounds a few corners and intercepts Big-Mac, to both there surprise she points with her wing and they both continue onwards.

Big-Mac notices a change in her, as if concern for her brother eliminated her fear, but her heart was pounding, her sight was faint for she knew she would a very hard road ahead.

Meanwhile stardust and blackheart are running through the city, bouncing off of walls trying to catch each other, there attacks leaving marks on the moonlit quiet city. Stardust misses a punch and compensates by grabbing the villain in his jaws dragging him to the ground, after slamming him stardust proceeds to trample him. Blackhearts bring his front hoof to the throat knocking him off balance as he conjured spikes to grow from hiss front hooves, from above a dark cloud rains nails onto stardust who is unable to avoid being pin cushioned.

As he is trying to remain on his hooves a large piece of debris flies out from an alley knocking Blackheart off his hooves. Big-mac runs out of the alley with Fluttershy very close, they try to lay the wounded stallion down only to be pushed away.

Blackheart stands and is tackled into a building by stardust” see that cloud Mac!?”

Fluttershy and Big-Mac look around and the only clouds they see are off in the distance.

“Eeyup!”

An explosive smash is heard sending Blackheart across the road and into the bazaar, he step out bearing a column over his shoulder, using an outburst of strength hurls it into the dust where Blackheart landed.

“Before that cloud crosses that full moon I will be in Ponyville with his corpse in a black puddle on my hooves, but not if my concerns for my relatives throw me off.”

Big-Mac nods and takes off with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy=you promise!?

He turns mournfully into the bazaar” I can do anything, as long as they odds are against me.”

He grins impatiently as blackheart reappears as a shadow below him. Caught off guard he is entangled in a mesh of thorns.

Meanwhile Luna and Celestia are matched evenly by the two newer artificial allicorns, their ability to bend matter able to manifest a bluish gem steel to block and slash, diminishing the building below risking casualties. The sisters are back to back as the area above the city is filled with flying blades.

Luna looks back to Celestia, they both nod as Celestia uses a blinding light to distract as Luna flies down into the castle, turning through the halls towards a room with grieves and royal armor used for special occasions” that armor should even the battle a little. Luna snatches her armor, once she throws on her grieves and helm she hears the battle continue.

Celestia manages to grab a chain summoned by tricky upon being swung at, she yanks tricky closer hoofing her in the side sending her down. Trickster with a hammer sends her flying. Luna in a blue streak delivers a blow to tricksters chin sending him away long enough to throw Celestia her grieves” this should help us block there weapons!”

Silence runs through the city, still black with most of the populace out like a light, the moon leaving the area greyish blue as the two allicorns dispel there summoned metal. They both speak in unison” admit it no-one lasts forever, no bridge cannot be crossed something can be done, you two princesses will fall, if we can’t get you from summoning, then we’ll just stomp you two to the ground.”

……………………………………………………………………………………..

Stardust is pushing back the villain trying not to be crushed behind the wall Blackheart was using and the side of the pottery shop, he jumps up and through the hole and over a counter letting the wall slam. Stardust looks around to see there trashing of the city is landing on unconscious civilians.

“I have to get him outside the city.” Just then the villain seeps through the walls into the shop” hello me it’s me again!” in a song tone, he picks up a table and throws it like a disk” you can’t subdue and never hate me.”

Stardust is smacked to the ground as blackheart leaps with a chisel on top of the downed stallion.” Your soft hearts do devastate me.”

Stardust grabs the hoof with the chisel and throws him off, Blackheart swings with a metal pipe knocking him over again.

standing and wore out blackheart taking it in both hands” it gives me a migraine headache!” he lists it over his head” thinking down to your level”.

Stardust reaches for a pot and throws it smashing it in the face of his attacker” well me it’s nice talking to myself.” He said in a demented sarcastic tone” but this situations getting me and my hair is getting thin.” He catches the pipe swung at him he lets out a musical howl as he throws him through the roof ending the music” I hate musicals.”

Blackheart is on the roof” how is he not dying!?”

Stardust yells up through the hole in the roof” you’re my positivity your job can’t be the antagonist!

“SHUT UP!” he points down the hole” you know that that is all metaphorical bull-“

“Fine it’s because you suck, you have no soul so you can were out!”

He conjures his strength and jumps onto the roof” and without something to die for our will is useless, that is will, courage, fortitude.”

Blackheart jumps to his feet” that’s it!”

Celestia and Trickster are exchanges punches and blocks as Luna and tricky are flying everywhere ramming each other on occasion. Celestia ducks Trickster as Tricky is send flying into him, they both stop a few feet from the ground, they pause before Luna releases a dashing attack that leaves bluish glowing rings and dragging debris behind them.

The two sisters ram them in exchange, all four of them are injured after colliding, Celestia has hurt her wing and Luna is worn out.

The silver twins fly up in a corkscrew motion before touching there hooves, the two princes brace themselves before the image, the two being darkened by the moonlight in the background as they expand their wings and prepare to come down hard, time stands still, there hearts beating in unison, as if they had an element of harmony of their own, unity that sets the game in line so that they can never be separated, there allicorn forms were an example of the positive energy now felt flowing out of the two criminals.

Luna=what is this energy.

Celestia= of course when he got sealed his negativity was sealed with, Blackhearts is Stardust’s positivity, because Stardust Drug his negativity with him.

“I sacrificed a good friend and sealed in innocent child, Blackheart is my doing… stardust is destined to kill me, because his positive self became corrupted.”

As Luna deduced it in her head” they’re coming” they hear bones shatter as they feels the force of the two dark allicorns, Luna’s thought flew back to her banishment, her heart felt heavy and her mind filled with a former image of herself, Celestia feels herself land. Celestia is hurt, not as bad, seeing an old image, Luna was blacker and darker with evil aura for a mane, her sinister voice is heard aloud.” Don’t you ever learn you despicable snob!?”

The darker half that was sealed long ago, Nightmare Moon.

Celestia struggles to her feet as her eyes behold the horror, Trickster was on the ground also in shock as Tricky was laying on Nightmare’s horn, the spike ramming through her wing, the darker mare drops the barely breathing mare as she utters a spell, her breath is energy that upon lip contact seems to make the wings and horn fade.

Trickster rushed the black mare and is bucked in the head, Nightmare moon then neighs loudly bring her hooves down upon the unconscious colt” stop it Luna!”

Nightmare moon halts in front of the sighing colt and turns to Celestia now at eye level” it is not that you had to do it, it is that you were too stupid to fix the problem before it got worse.”

The solar mare thought long and hard” if I can find the spell shaman used I could reunite stardust with his positivity.”

Luna changes back from night mare moon” sorry, she kinda took over.”

That’s okay, let’s leave them, I’m sure that when the town recovers they will take care of them.”

The sisters run off leaving the twins on the ground incapacitated.

Stardust and Blackheart are worn down as Blackheart feels a sting in his side.

Stardust grins” did those two fail you?”

Blackheart coughs up blood before falling to the roof; he fades as the corrupt positive emotions return to the angsty stallion. The clouds are what look like a few feet from the moon as the princesses are only able to watch as the energy flows into the replenished stallion.

“Stardust that energy returning to you is corrupt don’t let it seep in!”

Stardust seems normal but his pupils are gone.

“I feel fine don’t worry,”

The sisters look at each other as the scene fades.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile as the clouds touch the moon Fluttershy is concerned, but is only slightly relieved to see Stardust, however she can tell he is not himself, she whispers something to Mac before rushing to meet him.

“Okay! Okay I just got bounced of walls, bring a nurse first.”

She runs away as Big-Mac meets him” long time no see Star.”

“A thought stuck for fifteen years while trapped in the earth with shaman, what about ‘T’?”

“She is a former scientist, but what happened to you drove her mad. He made an artificial horn; she was watched over by Celestia so she always seems to have resources as a scientist.”

“I see.”

“She is a scientist for Celestia still, and a mad one, however I never hear from her.”

Fluttershy runs up to stardust with a nurse’s hat and a med kit, she gives a happy squeak and starts to examine him.

Stardust lies down and in no time is asleep even as Big-Mac is pulling him in a wagon” I don’t mean to demean you but the middle of the road is not a hospital bed.”

“Oh… that’s fine.”

As they walk into a hospital he gazes upon Pinkie pie for a brief second as she walks into I store” do I know her?”

Big Mac turns toward him with a grin” almost everypony is still here, you may have seen her before.”

He is guided into a back room where he falls asleep.

Fluttershy steps out as Mac heads back to his farmhouse. Twilight, is levitating frames to a building into place as Rainbow dash uses a nail gun to fix the structure into place, Rarity is mourning her boutique lying on her drama couch. Applejack trots up to the busy ponies pulling a cart” ya’ll want some delicious cider?”

The other ponies surround the cart; the juice relieves levels of fatigue before continuing to help repair any damages.  By the end of the day the town was almost done as they painted the parlor back to normal. Fluttershy is trotting alongside stardust whose hind legs are supported by a wheelchair” he should be fine in a week.”

The other ponies smiled as stardust was looking at them in confusion” have we met before?”

Pinkie start panicking” oh my Celestia he has amnesia!” she is next dragging him all over town as he thinks to himself” I remember everypony except these five.”

Deep inside his mind he can feel a mental block.

He looks back as he is drug away by the crazy pink one.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Next morning he wheels out to the spa while Pinky pie proceeds to point out every little obvious thing” ooh! And this wheel chair! You got into a fight… but you won!”

He thought to himself” told me that five times already.”

As they approach a two mares quickly step out” Stardust!” the pink one with the blue main was aloe and blue with a pink main was lotus. In excitement he rushes to the two mares nuzzling them as Pinkie catches up” you remember them!”

Aloe” every time we got separated he brought us together.”

Lotus” we went to the same classes,”

“Every foal at the time saw him as a hero, but the elders were most neglectful.”

They give him a hug before signaling to follow” anything you need is free.”

He walks into the spa, well decorated blue interior with nice drapes and pink pillows” well you two appear to be doing well.”

Lotus turn to him readying a message table” so how did you get here?”

Aloe= yeah we heard that you ran away into the mountains and vanished.

Stardust thinks for a minute” well there was a wise zebra in the hills that took me in, he taught me everything I know… when he died I came back, but only after being saved by my sister from a rockslide.”

The two girls in unison” you have a sister?!”

“Yes actually, Fluttershy.”

The two girls look at each other in disappointment as he has his head is buried in a pillow his leg casts supported as they apply a tea massage. Pinky pie is well occupied by a top. The two mares are discussing the past fifteen years, the result of that fateful day not only opened hearts and minds, but the anger in Celestia’s eyes as she addressed the town was only forgotten due to the casualties of that night.

Later on he is headed out with Pinky pie as the spa girls’ wave goodbye.

He is wheeled by an exited Pinky onto sweet apple acres” you have a guest mac!”

She stopped suddenly launching the black stallion at AJ, he lands over her shoulder as she turned her head and their lips touched most briefly.

AJ seems to be fine but Stardust is blushing trying not to grin; he is placed back in his chair as AJ gives a glare of doom sending Pinkie back to her bakeshop.

Stardust sighs in relief” thank you!”

Applejack=she means well.

As they converse he can feel his body getting light as he grows sleepier, AJ agrees to take him back to the hospital to rest.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

It is the end of the week; it seems as if the respect for Fluttershy grew on regards of her returning brother. Fluttershy is given a gift basket as he trots around town revitalized but restless. He stops to look at the sun as he hears two colts talking” did you hear there’s an eclipse coming up.”

He feels a negative vibe, the idea of an eclipse made him uneasy, suddenly a visual flash showing a rather macabre face that resembled his. His heart raced as he turned towards Fluttershys house” I have to get out of this town but first.”

Meanwhile the town is preparing a party regarding the eclipse, Pinky pie twitches like last time, her happy feelings and her poufy hair fall” that shadowy guy, blackheart.”

She runs off, suddenly busting into the library as twilight studies, Luna is still waiting for a bad sign, Pinky pies hair and expression was just that.

Luna walks outside and heads toward stardust as pinkie is being calmed by twilight. Stardust does not find Fluttershy but angel the bunny was there to help him pack food, he is met outside the door by Luna” now is the time, thou must follow!”

As they run out of the city everything grows dark. Stardust’s eyes glow as a pain suddenly erupts from his chest. The black stallion reels in pain as his fur stands on end. Luna is unable to cast a magic that can help him as his body start to mutate, a long sharp ivory horn and a fifteen foot wingspan causes Luna to take a defensive stance. The newer stardust let out a hysterical laughter that once again afflicted the city.

Luna’s last sight was a silver hoof coming at her in slow motion before she blacks out. The town looks in fear as the negative energy emits from the earth filling the corona with a grey glow, the eclipse now laminating the earth in a holy white light, the eerie feeling made them feel no emotion as their eyes grew blank; with exception for Fluttershy and her friends.

The six ponies rush over to the allicorn as Fluttershy cries out” brother no!” the allicorn stardust flies away leaving Luna alive.

“Take Luna! I hath only need for the nightmare moon I now possess!”

He fades into the horizon; the lit world covered in white light was like a purgatory. The six ponies had no idea why they were immune.

Rarity suddenly gets an idea” I remember him foal sitting me a few times, do any of you remember him?”

After they all nod” no? Then again I am three years older about.”

As they walk towards Stardusts location they still ponder about it, twilight says” and besides I was in canterlot at the time.”

They get tired after walking for so long, Rainbow keeps going” while you rest I will go on ahead, I will find him in ten seconds flat.”

Twilight lies down” perhaps it’s best not to go alone, as long as we need all six to use the elements, and we lost last time.”

“Don’t worry this I won’t fight him I’ll just be a locater, so to speak” she shrugs before taking off.”

Pinky pies hair is still flat and she looks grim, her eyes moved towards the other four” my senses say we will be separated anyways.”

As they get to their hooves they start towards were rainbow dash had left off to. A few miles ahead Dashy feels a sudden pain in her side, her eyes caught a glimpse of the black allicorn as he came up at her again. She dodges him and proceeds to fly back to her friends only to be lost in a mist.

Stardust” it is fun being possessed, it makes me feel nothing for those I will kill.”

As she sees the black figure grow closer, she throws a hoof only to wind up in a series of quick attacks, just a little slower than her but dealing a larger tool to the rainbow pegasai. She flies toward the ground, the corrupt allicorn follows her blindly, after dashy turns away sharply he is unable to do the same and hits the earth below, he is weakened but uses his horns’ magic to pull her to the earth. The battle was short but the crash dealt a toll to his wings, the mist clears revealing a large pillar with a series of flying orbs” tonight I will steal the stars and with them rewrite history.”

As he looks up he sees the other five ponies, he turns around and heads into the tower. He looks into a room with a similar pentagram; it had six sides and Rainbow dash on one of the points. At the entrance the five ponies lose sight of each other, they go five separate ways. Twilight sparkle was next to run into the allicorn, his eyes were the only visible part of him as the rest was covered in a black shell. The purple unicorn is pinned to the wall, she counters by poking him with her horn then using her magic to pull a stone block out of the wall and slam it against the allicorn. He gets up with a limp as fires a magical beam, twilight fires hers next matching his. He overpowers the purple mare and puts her to sleep.

Seconds later she is on a point of the pentagram bound like Dashy as he enters a room with Rarity. The white unicorn sees him as he enters a room with a vast sword collection, she grabs a sword in her mouth and figures using magic would only fuel the fire. She sneaks up behind him and swings at him; he blocks with a rapier, rarity then decides to use her telekinesis to wield two cutlasses against the one rapier.

After repeated sounds of clashing metal she knocks the sword out at the cost of her own. She plunges the blade into his wing at the shoulder before being bucked and knocked out. These quick battles had started to wear on him, weakened body, one wing. He is suddenly hit on the skull with a mallet found by applejack, she back away as the cracked horn stops working.

AJ awaits his attack as he tries to retain the screaming burn on his head from the broken bone. Meanwhile Fluttershy is the last one as she is following the constant thud, she gets close enough to hear a very weak plea as she is thrown from above onto the pentagram. The five were laid down with their elements of harmony and Fluttershys was around his neck.

As Fluttershy looks at her battered friends she feels a surge of energy, she rushed recklessly at the allicorn, he still able to fend the pegasus. She is flung to and fro as pinky in a fit of rage bites onto his rear leg and runs him into a wall, he after being slammed slams her onto the ceiling fifty feet above. Pinky was falling towards the possessed. Fluttershy runs at him to stop him from continuing on the incapacitated mare.

Fluttershy was waiting, millions of thought rushed through her. The memories of how he spoke of guarding them and the things he did for them meant nothing as long as his mind was blocked.

She started to get angry” you have no concern for the ponies you spoke of loving oh so dearly, your memory is being held by that negativity.”

Stardust lets out a grin” the one you knew is gone.”

“the one I knew would never harm us or for the most part make such a big mistake.”

“mistake?-oh boy”

He is interrupted as Fluttershy rushes him bringing her rear hooves to his collar and cheek bones, this starts the brawl, each attack happening with speed and precision as the weakened allicorn is surprised as the shy mare is able to keep up. He was injured but being an allicorn should make him unbeatable, through his constant shots to the face he finally staggers. The yellow pony just stood there, as if she was feeding off of the energy he had built up.

As he went to attack again a sudden chill went down his spine, the entire time he was held back, the surge froze him as he laid eyes upon the downed mare. His mind racing back, way before the chaos that ensued.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Sixteen years ago he was trying a job as a baby sitter, running back and forth putting up flyers. He, a few days later, was hired by a white unicorn; he gazed upon the tiny unicorn, no older than five, she was able to walk and talk. He brought a movie and treated it like a slumber party, by eight-o-clock they were both dead asleep.

Next day the same routine, until one night he woke to a screaming foal. As she told of the dream he was unable to stay awake, she snaps her hooves to wake him.

“huh? what?”

“you fell asleep during my sentence, well then it was not serious then… you see a dream is exactly that.”

He cuddles the tiny unicorn as she starts to cry.

“umm… it’s okay.”

“you don’t care!”

“but I do, that’s why I’m here and not at my house.”

After a few minutes of talking in circles they eventually were conversing in their sleep.

A few days later he is running on the clouds as he rushes past an unaccompanied Rainbow dash, he stops to make silly faces as two pegasai were approaching.

A mare and a colt had bought groceries, they watched as he was trying to get the foal to run. He saw the parents so he placed the baby rainbow dash in their arms and took off. Dashy tried to leap out of her mother’s arms causing the father to laugh.

Upon leaping back to earth he saw a pink pony being cradled by her parents, he was puzzled by the brown and grey colors of her family. He runs up to them” it’s pink!”

The father grins” yes it would seem.”

Before they could say anything he pulled a sucker out of his back and put it in Pinky’s mouth, her wide eyes was a strange sign for them but the likes that she was screaming in joy as he took off.

A few weeks later he walks into a clothing boutique, he slides past the owner and borrows a sewing matching, as he tries to sneak out the owner kindly said” bring it back when you’re done.”

He turns around in surprise before walking away.

He later on flies up to Cloudsdale just to run up to the tiny Rainbow dash and play with her in hopes to get the tiny filly to walk, he takes off again right when they show up leaving Dashy in her mother’s arms.

He jumps down again and runs at sound speed to sweet apple acres, he pulls baby AJ in a stroller and brings her to the rock farm Pinky pie is on, he watched as the very young ponies played. Later he went home, as he walked into the house he kissed Fluttershy goodnight and by the next morning he had a scarf that he left on the tiny rarities bed” I’ll be leaving for canterlot for a few days.”

He steps out of her room before she wakes; she looks out the window watching as he disappears in a black streak.

Back in Cloudsdale the tiny blue dashy is running in circle in her crib as he walks into the house, after having a quick word with the parents he leaved a pair of socks behind.

The father looks at him puzzled” socks?”

“her hooves could get cold” he quickly dashes away, as he crosses the cloud city momentum builds as he leaps from the twilit sky, down below Pinky is waving a rattle excitedly as Mack is waking away with Applejack in a stroller” where is he going?”

His memories, the promises he made, he was going to be a great brother for Fluttershy, and he somehow felt his life would tie in with theirs. As he was running he thought about why he does things on an impulse, he was going into the royal city, he knew he wanted to go their but he was but a foal. He just had to however every year.

As his memories races back darkness could be felt leaving past the six, his pupils started to show as his legs grew weak and his brain started to ring in his head. The ponies watched as his wings and horn retracted into nothingness.

“I… remember you, all of you.”

As he pulled himself around and walked into another room they four bound ponies were released, they jumped to their hooves and followed him into the room.

Twilight sparkle is in the front as she feels herself get very tired; she turns to speak as the other five are dead asleep.

“I see this stallion even has memory, as long as you live he will know how to fight back, he is still going to use the missing stars to deliver quite the present to the neighboring nations, in the blackness of night Equestria will be turned on the surrounding nations.”

As he rants and raves she hears pinky talk in her sleep” it’s okay just wait, he will do an evil laugh and it will all be over.”

Twilight yells at her” what I… guhhhh!”

She starts to fall over from exhaustion as the lights go out” why… a war?”

“Why not?”

Twilight sighs as she digs into her mind trying to find an adrenaline spell” because it’s wrong! Billions could die! Equestria is not a warring nation, we’ll… we’ll-“

Stardust reverted back to his allicorn self” what did you think I would do all this for? There are other nations ran by a day and night deity. I will invite there Special Forces to destroy every pony in the higher class, starting with Celestia. Without the stars nothing magical and use them to do any location and prediction magic.”

As twilight’s horn began to glow her and her friends’ sprung to as stardust vanished, they had energy and felt fully vitalized, however were lost. Their confusion and negativity only built up as they were afraid to leave the room, fear overwhelmed them.

As Fluttershy began to talk the silence broke drawing in a sense of relief. She paused and started to look up towards the ceiling, dark and gothic and reflected the emotions of those under it.

“He told me that courage is not being fearless but overcoming great fear and negativity. No matter how much fear he brings only hope and willpower can save him.”

Twilight starts to cheer” yah! If the elements won’t work then perhaps all he needs is to experience a sense of rebellion, he has create a bond with you five that cannot be severed.”

The other four ponies exchange looks from one to another.

Rainbow dash walks past twilight and through the door” I will call out all the stops, he can’t control the weather or fly, and I will fill the sky with clouds.”

Rarity steps forth” he is in there somewhere, I remember all of his weaknesses, I may be able to get under the fake stardust’s skin.”

Applejack runs past and into the next room too” hey I can help too!”

Pinkie pie walks past feeling poufy and happy once again” I can break the fourth wall!”

As twilight and Fluttershy ignore her she bounced behind the other three.

Twilight turns to her in concern” I know should say this sooner but, I feel like I know him too.”

Fluttershy has an epiphany” no… twilight you-“

They are interrupted by the other four calling them; Fluttershy goes quiet as they catch up to the others.

A Victorian mansion with gothic halls and Transylvanian themed décor, in the basement of the giant mansion is a cloaked golden mare” so this memory, you want me to cut it out?”

The black allicorn walked up to her side” yes T- I mean Euphoria, we must be quick.”

She looks over to her surgical stuff” it’s been a long time star.”

The black sky was cloudy as a hooded white unicorn approached the giant doors guarding the interior from the gales. One of the large griffon door knocks sounded out bringing a red horse with a silver mane to the door.

The hooded figure looked up towards the butler; she walks in as a lunar rainbow forms around the already existing. The night sky revealed only the moon for the clouds covered everything. The mare stands in the main hall, her mane is wet and her face is calm.

Outside a yellow Pegasus looks in, her element of harmony around her neck and holding the purple diamond, being Rarity’s, in her mouth. She watches as she goes into the mansion library.

Rainbow dash is looking from above from the clouds waiting. Their hearts and minds were at sync with every movement; they were going to free stardust.

Meanwhile Celestia and Luna lay on the library floor still out of it as twilight is trying a variety of spells on her; none of them seemed to work. Pinkie pie is next to her with a gong, she raises her mallet as twilight takes cover. The loud noise in not enough to revive the princesses.

Applejack trots into the library with a red bottle” okay, here is that mixture.”

Twilight grabs the bottle and pours it into their mouths.

They sit there silent; twilight tilts her head” let me study just a bit more.”

They were going to need the princesses, the curse was weaker but they lost a lot of their power from the white light.

At the mansion Euphoria walks into the library, in front of the fire place sat Rarity. She sits next to Rarity” he is gone, just like myself, were villains now. I have way too many deaths on me belt and he is going to kill your queen.”

Rarity grins” that is why I will defeat you here and free him, his mind is strong.”

She giggles as she walks away, electricity forming around her” I took the parts of his brain out with my magic, he will never remember you.”

Rarity jumps to her feet” how dare you!?”

Just then a window opens behind her and the yellow pegasus carries her across the room and out another window, the scientist meets rainbow dash’s stomping attack as Fluttershy let go.

In the lab he is uncut but he feels a sharp pain in his head, his head covered in a glowing metal mask. The allicorn pushes the helmet off, then rolls of the table in his weakened state” T is gone; her insanity is all that is left.”

He looks in a mirror, he is but a ghost as his other self is roaming without him, still connected it is like his he is nothing more than a subconscious, he was deleted, but not the six he came to love so soon. The allicorn still evil, but the soulless terminator now had no mission. His evil counterpart was returning fast however.

The stars sounded out like struck metal as he walked up the steps, his curiosity about the mad scientist, a though struck the subconscious form of him” I made a villain, a murderer.”

The black stallion replies to his thoughts” just like Celestia making her enemies.”

Still confused as to what is going on he lets his body wonder under control of the darker self, he is watching still connected to his body.

The body roamed while the evil rebooted, on the carpet by the fire lay the white unicorn. Her hair was styled straight and her tail was the same, she gave a look of happiness that melted the heart of the subconscious stardust has the husk walked around her he asked” where is the used to be unicorn?”

Rarity looked out the door” she said something to the butler; they are gone for a few minutes… I was asked to keep you company, that black coat of yours in unforgettable.”

Even through the barrier a slight blush could be seen, she knew he was still in there. Moister began to build in her eyes, the allicorn started to show only the remains of blackheart. Rarity pauses, her heart begins to fill with concern as the allicorn walks up to her; he nuzzles Rarity as his front hoof stops an inch from her belly” I cannot harm you, you six have a bond and only you and Fluttershy are aware.”

Rarity rubs her horn onto his” please explain, I only wish to talk to the brother of mine.”

The black allicorn stands back, the subconscious stardust raises his head; his eyes filled with joy as one tear leaves his eyes. The moisture from the spirits eyes as he raised his head reflected some of the light; she knew that he hears her very well.

She stands up and walks toward him” you can win this, it’s courage, one would think it would be an element of harmony.”

The darker unicorn speaks” yes… if only I could expel this bothersome double.”

Rarity is trying to ignore him, her heart is racing as the allicorn shows more expression, it starts to make an evil grin. He turns towards the unicorn, she does not move as he approaches. He kisses her on the neck” he is no longer attached to his own body.”

She looks up with a similar glare” perhaps wannabe imaginary characters should at least show some class when trying to act real.”

His anger wells up causing him to rush his horn at the unicorn, his body freezes.

Stardusts subconscious can be seen once again leaving the body pulling his hooves back and throwing the allicorn on his back. Rarity walks up and lies beside him” I remember a certain foal that had an abominable will; he can’t be held or interrupted.”

The allicorn slams down with a hoof, Rarity simply lists downward ducking the back hoof, both are still lying on the ground as she smiled at him once more” another concept for an element, I wonder why we have just the five.”

They are motionless for a few moments, the silence broken when the red butler and Euphoria come crashing through the windows. The subconscious looks at the butler who stands up with Fluttershy. The fried mare still, electrified, and motionless looks up at the allicorn” see Fluttershy? We are both lost forever.”

Meanwhile in the library Twilight, Pinky, and Applejack have their elements; a crown and two necklaces, one an apple and the other a balloon ensemble the charms as they watched a glowing white figure rise, the blue figure was already out the door, it was Luna but just an aura, she flew up to the lunar gate that the positivity sucked into. As the moon moved the energy left and the white light vanished, the sky returned but without stars.

The larger white aura that is now Celestia flew away using her magic to levitate the three ponies to the mansion

As the scene fades to the mansion Rarity is talking” …so then the elements will now be able to push not blackheart, but stardust out. You having no soul anymore will die and the allicorn will turn back.”

The allicorn is restored to blackheart” I see; will you forgot two things, I am fully restored now and you need all six of you!”

His dark energy shot from his horn launching Rarity into the fireplace, she catches herself and is now rolling on the ground, her screaming put a terrible pain in his chest, he felt weak from the pain as the butler dragged euphoria out of the mansion.

Flutter was angry, her friend was burning but she could not help as long as the allicorn stood, the weakened allicorn was charged by Fluttershy the yellow pegasus is countered and picked up. She uses her hind legs to grab him around the neck, swinging herself off of him throwing him over a table, his ankle hits the glass table braking it and injuring his leg. Fluttershy then rushes off, suddenly a thick cloth is thrown over the unicorn putting her out, the hole in the cloud is covered as a rainbow flash swoops in aiding Rarity, rainbow dash is wearing her element resembling a cloud.

The other three ponies rush in as the unicorn gets up; he lets out a laughter as he catches his breath” even with this subconscious holding be back I can –“

He is interrupted by a white beam; he lets out frantic wailing as he sees stardust leave his body.

The spirit holding onto the positive aura forming blackheart, the two rivals then twist into each other as they turn into a bright light. The lifeless allicorn was now a black stallion, and the stardust from the past was here once again, as he started to fade the universe began to change back, the clouds lifted and it was morning, the sun had risen itself over Equestria.

The scene fades as the six ponies surround the fallen stallion, tears leave their faces as Celestia leaves them be.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A day later and the body is in a decorated carriage entering the town pulled by the main six. Their faces were lightened as they gazed upon the crowned and dressed princess” when darkness persuades and darkness overwhelms us, it is a key to keep the knowledge of what you still have and not what was lost. It was a dark road for stardust; he had not lost anything more than will, but for a short time.”

The ponies of Ponyville look up at the sky; they are confuse as the sun blinks.

Twilight=Celestia?

Celestia=pinky?

Pinky=I did not break anything this time, the fourth wall is secure.

The other ponies look toward the carriage; it was empty as a guard looked in.

As they looked around for the body a previous feeling of overwhelming negativity swept the city, but it was different, it felt great, it stole their negative feelings.

Fluttershy hears his voice mumbling, she turns towards Celestia who was in awe as the evanescence that is stardust began to form” don’t count me out so soon.”

Fluttershy rushed up to the stallion” oh my how did you return I missed you and I was scared and then there was a white light, and I ran from it and I fought a mad scientist and…”

As she continued to ramble twilight approached him” I have two questions.”

The whole town looks at them” how did you come back, and have we met before.”

The first quest got an immediate answer” funny you should bring that up! You see blackheart was a whole other body, so when he died his evil magic had to wear off before my heart could really start beating, so I followed by body in order to decrease the walking distance. The curse lifted revealing my spirit; you see ‘T’ merely separated us turning me into a medium.”

Twilight tilted her head” so she accidently helped you?”

“no, she actually helped me, she wanted me back but a villain to aid her.”

“I’m still confused.”

“it will come to you.”

Twilight walks up closer as Fluttershy calms down” and me?” he thinks back and starts to become nostalgic” it was twenty three years ago and how I got my mark, I was five at the time and ever since I visited your parents once a year. It all started when mother took me to see the doctor for an appointment …”
