Awesome! Here is chapter 6. I thought that I should publish this before Halo 4 releases because once it does, the next chapters won't be published for awhile. Enough talking, more reading!


Dark walked through the large doors to the Changeling fortress. Clerics walked up to him and saluted him. "Sir, welcome back!" They all said as they saluted. Dark smiled.

"At ease. Where is Silent and the rest of the squad?" He asked before walking past the Clerics.

"Sir, Silent Lightning and two Clerics are in the medical wing for treatment while the other is training a few Changeling soldiers." One of the Clerics said.

"Good, they deserve a week of rest. Where is Discord?" Dark asked as he cracked his neck to relieve some pain.

"Discord is in the throne room, along with the Queen." The Cleric said. Dark turned around.

"Alright, back to your buisness." Dark ordered. The Clerics saluted and attended to whatever buisness that they were given, whether it was training, resource check, recon, etc. Dark walked through the doors to the throne room and instantly saw the stoned Discord. Dark smiled and walked up to it. The Queen saw Dark and smiled evily.

"What took you so long?" She asked. Dark just stood there and didn't answer. The Queen walked up to him.

"If you didn't notice, I had to walk all the way from Canterlot to here. Plus, I had to make a small side objective." Dark irratatingly said. He then looked back at Discord. "I want you to call for a meeting. Every Cleric and Changeling officer is to meet in the throne room, now." Dark told Chrysalis. Chrysalis nodded and walked out of the throne room. "Time for the resurrection." Dark said as he smiled evily.

//SCENE CHANGE//

The mane six were in the Canterlot hospital, throwing a party for the healing Colt. "Thanks girls, it means alot that you decided to throw me a party." Colt said as he held a plate with a slice of cake on it.

"It was the least we could do, after you defeated that brute, Dark Fury." Rarity said in her usual tone. The whole group sat around, chatting about how badass Colt was against Dark. They were all relaxed, except for Twilight who hadn't even taken a small bite out of her cake. She couldn't take her mind off of the events that took place in the catacombs.

"Ugh, why am I still thinking about him?" Twilight thought to herself. Just as she was finally going to take a bite out of her cake, both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Princesses? What are you two doing here?" Twilight asked.

"Have you come to see Colt?" Fluttershy asked in her usual shy tone.

"Well, yes, but we have some very bad news." Celestia said in a serious tone. The entire group looked at the princesses. "The recent attack on the Grand Galloping Galla was only a retrieval mission for this new enemy. This group is known as the Clerics who are led by Dark Fury. They took Discord all while the galla was happening." Celestia said which shocked the group, except for Twilight.

"We have come to the conclusion that they plan on resurrecting Discord and using his power to take over Equestria. You
remember the Changelings and their Queen?" Luna said. The group nodded. "A survivor from one of our squads returned from their recon assignment saying that he said Dark Fury and Queen Chrysalis were joining forces. Him and his squad tried to stop them but he lost every stallion on his squad. He was lucky to have gotten out of there alive." Luna said. The group was silent until Colt grew angry.

"Dark has to pay... for all of the lives that he's taken!" Colt said in an angry tone. Everypony, except for Twilight smiled and nodded toward Colt. Twilight was now at a crossroads.

"Dark isn't all that bad, he saved me when we were in the Catacombs, but that was only because we were in the same situation and neither of us, mainly me, couldn't make it out without the other." She thought to herself.

"We fear that a war is going to happen, we must prepare for battle." Celestia said.

"Don't worry princess." Colt said before getting out of the medical bed. "I'm going to make sure that this land stays safe." Colt said. Everypony smiled and cheered. Twilight was still sceptical about Dark.

"There has to be some goodness inside of him, if only there was a way to make him see the error of his ways." Twilight thought to herself as everypony in the room continued the party.

//SCENE CHANGE//

Clerics, Changeling officers, the Queen, and Dark all gathered into the throne room. Every Changeling, except for the Queen, didn't have the slightest idea for why this meeting was being held. "Silence!" Dark ordered, silencing the entire room. "Some of you may be wandering why I called this meeting. Well, the reason stands before all of you." Dark said as he held his hand out to the statue of Discord. "I am going to bring back Discord using my dark energy." Dark said which stunned everypony and Changeling in the room. Dark placed his hand on the base of the stone table and concentrated. His hand began to glow a dark glow. Dark matter traveled across the entire statue. Dark began to breath heavily and sweat as his own energy was being used to bring back Discord. He then retracted his hand and fell on the ground. A few Clerics ran up to their commander to try and help him. "I'm fine." Dark said. He got off of the floor and watched as the event before him unfolded. The darkness wrapped and twirled around Discord like a set of clothes. The statue began to crack then break apart. The statue finally self destructed. Dark covered his eyes from the blast. He then moved his arm away and saw him, Discord.

"What a relief. Do you know how uncomfortable getting trapped in stone is on the neck?" Discord said as he cracked his neck a few times. He then took to the air and floated there. "Who, might I ask, is the lucky pony who released me?" Discord asked.

"That would be me, Dark Fury." Dark said as he walked up to the god of chaos. Discord smiled and landed on the ground without any effort.

"Well my new friend, seeing as how you released me from that stone imprisonment, I shall grant you three wishes." Discord said. "No, I'm just messing with you, because I'm the god of all that is chaos." Discord said as he floated in the air again but instead he was doing back strokes like he was swimming in water. "But, seeing as you released me, I shall give you something that only the worthy can use." Discord said before lifting up his hand toward Dark and shot a beam of gold and black at him. Dark fell to the ground, feeling some kind of pressure all around his body. He stood back up as the beam disappeared. He saw that he wasn't wearing his Cleric uniform anymore but instead wore a suit of armor made out of a mysterious substance.

"Wha-what the heck?" Dark said as he looked at the strange armor.

"You might be wondering exactly what exactly you're wearing, allow me to explain. That is the armor of chaos, forged by the old chaos gods, it is said to grant the wearer immense power. Consider it a git for freeing me." Discord said with a smile. Dark moved in the armor and felt like he could take over Equestria all by himself.

"Thank you Discord. I would like to ask you if you would like to help us take over Equestria?" Dark asked the god.

"Hmm, tempting. Oh, why not, I would enjoy a good brawl." Discord said. Dark smiled under the armor.

"Alright then. Prepare for battle! I want everypony and Changeling to be battle ready by tomorrow! Now!" Dark said, making everypony and Changeling run out of the throne room. Dark smiled. "This is going to be fun."
