The Dictators of Ponyville 3 The Rise Of The Shadows

Splitting you're soul is very painful. So painful that you might wish death upon you're self because of the pain. When you're an entity slash shadow, you would expect it not to be painful, oh how wrong Shadow Pony were. He doesn't have a soul, soul, but he does have abilities as if he was a soul, but with dark magical powers.

Before The Shadow Pony was banished by the Pillars. He had split his soul ten times and hid it in different objects. He then hid them around Equestria, even in parts that would be seen as unthinkable. Shadow Pony had never felt so much pain in his life and he was an entity like creature! He's not even suppose to feel that type of pain, or any pain for that matter.

Shadow Pony walked around his cave thinking of different strategies, to commit his coup. He had been found by the CMC in a cave in The Badlands, there was a black crystal inside wich was a piece of Shadow Pony. They didn't know what it was, so they shot at the crystal, destroying it totally. The Shadow Pony was actually grateful for the gesture, since they had freed him. He then as his "thank you" had possessed them and corrupted their minds, or well corrupt the last piece of their sanity. He watched their memories and saw their hurt and betrayal. He smiled at this and helped them with their coup. He became the evil voice in their head's.

Shadow Pony chuckled at the evil deeds the fillies committed. A thousand years ago, their deeds would be seen as the most evil acts in pony history. Then those ponies would execute them. Shadow Pony burst out laughing, his laugh was menacing and cold. He didn't laugh because of the killing part. He laughed because those ponies would by law technically be hypocrites. Starswirl had actually been one of the few who had pointed it out, together with the Pillars of course. Hypocrite, that was all Starswirl was, a hypocrite. He understood why the other Pillars followed him, because Starswirl is manipulative. Shadow Pony couldn't help but laugh.

He remembered the moment when he told the Pillars in limbo, how he could see Faust her angels and how he also had split his soul multiple times. Their faces were priceless, but oh, Starswirls face! He looked like Shadow Pony just told him Starswirl had destroyed Equestria! Shadow Pony would alway's remember his facial expression, fear.

Shadow Pony walked up towards his throne and lost himself towards his thought's. He was thinking of way's to revenge on the Pillars. He could just leave them in limbo, but what's the fun in that? Shadow Pony wanted them to see destruction over the whole of Equestria. Make the Pillars fall to their knees in distraught. Shadow Pony started laughing evily and looked towards the pile of gems. He didn't know what to do with it, but he wasn't going to give it away either.

"I really don't know what to do with this. I could save it for some idiots and give them gems as payment, hmm yes i think i'll do just that." Shadow Pony said, with deep thought,

Shadow Pony walked out of his cave and descended into black smoke and glided through trees and animals, until he reached the outskirts of Ponyville. He saw the tall mettal building's and cars driving around, although there weren't many pedestrians on and about, except the ones who prefer the night over the day. He glided towards a building that he knew belongs to Twilight Sparkle, or the apartment atleast. He flew up towards her apartment and flew in through her open window in her room. He made himself super tiny and flew into the living room and hid behind a plant. He heard that they were talking about something, he started listening in.

"Twilight, why don't you believe in the Shadow Pony? After everything we have faced, I'm not surprised by anything anymore." Rainbow Dash asked, curious to hear her response.

"It's because I would have known if The Shadow Pony would have possessed the crusaders wich is why I firmly believe that what Spike said is impossible." Twilight explained, in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Twilight, I get what you're saying darling, but perhaps Spike is right? Didn't you read a book from Starswirl stating that if somepony or creature already has anger or hatred, that it's much harder to detect possession?" Rarity asked, confused by Twilight's logic in this.

Twilight became quiet after that. She didn't know what to say. Rarity had a point, she had read the book and Starswirl has never been wrong before, so why did Twilight find it hard to believe? Was it fear? Or was it that Twilight didn't want to be seen as a failure?

"Um, Twilight? As scared as I a'm from the Shadow Pony, I can't say he doesn't exist because I have no proof, but I don't have evidence either that he exits." Fluttershy said, in a low voice.

The other four nodded their heads agreeing to Fluttershy's statement. Twilight tho, was completely lost in her own head. Why couldn't she accept that The Shadow Pony existed?

"Of course he exists silly fillies! He is listening in to our conversation right now!" Pinkie Pie said, as if it was obvious.

"Sugarcube, I highly doubt that The Shadow Pony is listening to this. He most likely is somewhere where shadows are." Applejack said, with doubt.

Rainbow Dash made a fake scoff that went unnoticed by the others, except Pinkie and Shadow Pony. Rainbow had been around Pinkie long enough to know that she had never been wrong before. It was actually one of the reasons why she had never doubted Pinkie afterwards because Pinkie had alway's been right.

"Well I gotta go, see ya!" Rainbow said, flying out the window.

The others decided it was time to go and said their goodbyes. Shadow Pony flew out the window and went back to his cave in the Everfree. He changed back to his natural size and laughed a little bit. They should have listened to the pink pony. He was right their in their room, but they didn't listen to her. Shadow Pony had learnt about the "Pinkie senses" and wanted so e for himself, that way he could know more when enemies drew closer, although he had already powers like that but not the same way as the pink one.

"Four day's left, then the war will start! Shadow Pony said, with glee.
