The Dominator of The Universeby Sun KnightChaptersChapter OneChapter TwoChapter ThreeChapter FourChapter FiveChapter SixChapter OneIt was a beautiful day out in Ponyville. The sun beamed down with no cloud in sight, the birds chirping happily... it was safe to say that this was going to be a grand day! Or so it seemed, at the start. But this doesn't start in Ponyville, or on Equestria for that matter. It started in the middle of space, on a large spaceship, which was the size of a large city. Within it held hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers that called themselves the 'Dark Matter Thieves'. They traveled the Universe, conquering and ruling numerous galaxies for generations. It was only a matter of time before they met Equestria, right? The leader of the band was Boros, a 7'10" cyclops-like alien with light-pink, spiky hair and bangs that fell over his face. He had sharp teeth and pointed ears lined with a row of gold earrings. He had one large blue eye and light blue skin with dark blue crack-shaped markings that started from his eye and covered most of his body. He wore a set of armor with spikes on the shoulder and forearms and wore a pair of matching curved boots. He also had a red orb on his chest with purple markings on his stomach and arms. He wore a pair of white harem pants, held by a magenta-colored sash with silver-lined purple blades hanging from it. Despite his regal appearance, he was no King. He didn't fit such a title. He was instead known as The Dominator of The Universe. Lord Boros sat on top of his throne, silently staring at the entrance of the throne room, eagerly awaiting an update on a possible new planet to invade. Coincidentally, Geryuganshoop, one of the Dark Matter Thieves Generals, soon contacted Boros. "Splendid news, Lord Boros! We have discovered a new planet called... 'Equestria.' Fitting name too, as this planet is inhabited by some sort of Equus." Boros raised an eyebrow to that. "You're saying this planet is full of quadrupedal animals?" Geryuganshoop cleared his throat. "Precisely, my Lord. And from the looks of it, they are an advanced and civilized society. But they aren't the only race. It seems all walks of life can be seen on this planet, each one as civilized as the other. Boros grinned a bit. "How peculiar. But no matter, it shall be confronted by our unstoppable forces. Prepare to enter the orbit and make sure we get a clear landing." "Understood, Lord Boros." Geryuganshoop obliged, his voice fading out. Boros then stood up and began to slowly pace the spacious throne room, his hands resting behind his back. Back on Equestria, many ponies are just starting their days as the Sun arose brightly, joyously strolling the streets, minding their businesses, while many of the shops prepared as they opened up. Twilight was inside, reading a book on Mushroom facts, Rainbow Dash was clearing the skies of clouds, Fluttershy was outside setting up a birdhouse for her bird friends, Applejack was shipping a trailer of apples into town, Pinkie Pie was baking various delights, and Rarity was sewing a new line of dresses. It felt like yet another nice day, with nothing out of the norm, every creature oblivious of what's to come in only a few minutes. In Tartarus, both Tirek and Cozy Glow were within their intentionally eternal prisons, bored out of their minds as usual. Cozy Glow looked up at Tirek between the bars with a curious look "Have we talked about... err... what we were going to do if we ever got out?" Tirek glanced at her with a blank look. "Yes. Numerous times actually. So much so that I have your plan down word by word in my head." He sighed miserably, sitting down and looking at the filthy floor. "Don't worry, Tirek! We'll be able to escape soon!" Cozy Glow smiled brightly. "And how do you think we will do that?" Tirek muttered through his teeth. Just as he said that, a black shadow engulfed the two, teleporting them outside of Tartarus instantly. Not-so-queen Chrysalis, with her wood pieces with carved changeling faces, stood in the middle of the forest with a psychotic look on her face. "One day, you'll see, I'll make Twilight Sparkle and her friends pay for stealing my KINGDOM!" She shouted at a random piece of wood, laughing maniacally, before vanishing from the forest after the same 'shadow' engulfed her. The three villains appeared in a dimly lit cave, far from any form of civilization for miles. Confused, they looked around, stumbling upon each other. "Lord Tirek? Why did you summon me! What do you want?" Chrysalis demanded, glaring at the two. "Oh golly, we didn't bring you, I thought YOU freed US from Tartarus!" Cozy commented, hovering next to Tirek. "Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been a pony very powerful indeed." Chrysalis added. They soon drew their attention to the front of the room as a black shadow appeared, followed by the cackle of another well-known enemy... King Sombra. Sombra stood tall, a cocky look plastered on his face as he looked at the group. "King Sombra? You have returned? Why did you bring us here?" Chrysalis asked, stepping forward. Before a word could be said, a new voice was heard behind them in the distance. "He didn't." The voice was low, grisly, and intimidating. Hoofsteps were heard getting closer, revealing the voice to be a blue ram wearing bells around his neck, but not an ordinary one. It was the legendary tyrannical ruler who used to once dominate the lands of Equestria and bring darkness along with him. He was an outcast ever since his defeat and never was heard from again, until today. The bearded ram made his way down the path, approaching the four Villains. "It was I. You may call me, Grogar!" He planted his front legs on top of a rock in front of his orb. They all gasped in unison. "THE Grogar?" Chrysalis questioned. "I thought you were a legend!" Tirek exclaimed with shock. "I have heard of you..." King Sombra commented, appearing from black clouds next to Chrysalis. Cozy glow flew up off the ground. "Who?" The four grouped around the rock to listen to Grogar and soon plan their return and revenge on Equestria and the Main 6. At first, this was going to be another fight between Equestria's heroes and their villains once again, but a certain ship was going to change up the entire scenario into something that Equestria has never faced before. Lord Boros and his crew entered orbit, preparing a landing within Canterlot, which was coincidentally the "Capital" of Equestria, in many creatures' eyes at least. As it approached the planet, it became increasingly obvious that something was odd. Soon, the Sun's light was blocked out, shadowed by the sheer mass and size of the ship. Once the townsponies took notice, they began to panic, running away from the ship that was about to land right on top of them. The ship destroyed surrounding buildings to make wave, clearing out the area. Legs protruded from the ship to allow for a calm, smooth, and slow landing. The large door to the ship opened up, a bridge slowly extending from it down to the ground. A few fodder warriors popped out, which were completely alien to the races of Equestria, clearing the area. Then, a large figure came out, one that looked much more royal and important compared to the other aliens. "Yet another grand landing. Nice work, Geryuganshoop." Boros said softly, humming to himself as he stepped out of his ship and walked down the bridge. "So, this is Equestria? How nice." He pointed at a random shocked bystander, which was a young, male grey pony, who went wide eyed immediately, stepping back a bit. "You. Who is your ruler? You have one, don't you? At least someone who is of authority?" The pony began to sweat as he stuttered. "Uh-uh... um..." His eyes darted around. "SPEAK!" Boros demanded, his voice shifting from calm to loud and demanding. His voice boomed across the area, striking fear into the ponies. "P-PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA!" The pony screeched out, cowering as he ducked. "Nicely done." Boros lowered his finger, a toothy grin on his face as he slowly approached the poor citizen. "Take me to them." "But-" A hand covered the pony's mouth. "I didn't ask, I demanded." He said quietly in a lower tone. The pony nodded, moving towards the castle very cautiously, Lord Boros following right behind him. He looked around at his surroundings along the way as if he were visiting some Museum like a curious child. "What's your name." Boros asked monotonously. The pegasus pony avoided eye contact as he continued to walk. "Um... Grey Skies..." "Ah, what an interesting name. Do you all have similar names?" Boros looked up at what he guessed was the castle as he spoke. "I-I guess..." Grey Skies replied, lowering his head. "Don't feel so tense. I'm not targeting you, but rather your planet. Worst case scenario is your planet exploding into dust. Painless death." Boros stated happily, still smiling. Though, this only made the pegasus even more tense and anxious, fearing death as it stood right next to him. Boros then paused. "I can take it from here. Make sure you tell your friends and family, and as a matter of fact, everyone you see, that you are about to witness history... tell them all to fear the name 'Lord Boros', the Dominator of The Universe. You can do that... can't you?" He looked straight down at Grey Skies, a menacing aura coming off of him. "Y-yes... sir..." Is all he could mutter under his breath. "You're dismissed." Boros waved his hand in a dismissive manner. The pony ran off as fast as he could. Boros cracked the ground below him, shattering it once he took to the skies, flying at impressive speeds right towards the Canterlot Castle. "Geryuganshoop, order the warriors to start invading this planet, I'll be taking care of the Leaders." "Of course, my Lord." Geryuganshoop replied, doing as he said immediately. Thus begins the Invasion of Equestria. Chapter TwoBy now, the Royal Guardsponies have taken notice, which should be an obvious statement considering that a ship the size of Manhattan just stopped by for a visit, but they're usually useless, and it's no different in this situation either. Many of them took to the throne room to protect their Princesses, but a few handfuls decided to test Boros' warriors who were pouring out from the ship in waves, each one armed to the teeth compared to the guards who had... flimsy metal on their heads and a sharp stick to fend off opponents, basically. It didn't take long for the greatly outnumbered guardsponies to be overwhelmed in battle, and were soon either captured or worse, killed. None of this was of true importance. Boros didn't even think about their presence here, he already knew this planet probably didn't need much force pushed onto it to bring it towards the edge of the cliff. Speaking of Boros, he soon landed perfectly within the throne room with a dramatic entrance, shattering the stained glass as soon as he made contact with it, leaving a gaping hole exposed. He skidded ever-so-slightly, his gold-plated boots gripping to the floor for an easier landing. "My my, I am just full of surprises, aren't I?" Boros commented on himself, cooing as he turned towards what he only assumed were the Princesses surrounded by the useless ponies, because they were sitting in their throne of course. The Royal Guards took stances as they pointed their weapons towards Boros as if they would convince him, to which he laughed mockingly. "Let us just cut to the chase." He stepped forward, closer, his arms crossed. "Lord Boros, The Dominator of The Universe and leader of my Pirate Band." The two finally stood up for once throughout this whole ordeal. The tall, white one with the colorful flowing mane then spoke up, with a little regal tone if you will. "Princess Celestia of the Sun and the Ruler of Equestria alongside my sister, Princess Luna of the Moon. Tell us what you plan on doing!" Her voice deadpanned as she stared at Boros. Boros smiled. "I'm glad you asked. You can either surrender now and give up these lands peacefully, which in turn, we will enslave you and your peoples for our profit, or you can go out with a... bang, as I like to call it. I have already ordered a few hundred of my warriors to loot and take these lands. You're surrounded as a result, and are separated from the rest of the world." "If you think I'd ever allow for something such as this to happen, you're a fool!" Celestia shouted, ordering her guards to charge him. But, before they could make their moves, they were suddenly stripped of their armor and weapons in the blink of an eye, a pile of the same exact armory and weaponry standing next to Boros. "I get how hard it may be to submit, but be realistic, if you think pastel ponies are going to harm me, let alone my warriors, then you need a sweet taste of reality." A ball of purple energy formed within the grasp of Boros, chucking it in front of the unarmed guards, sending them flying helplessly in numerous directions, taking severe burn damage. "Now, be a leader for once and actually face me!" The two Princesses took flight, both firing beams of magic at Boros with anger. Boros chuckled once they hit him, leaving him unharmed. "You canNOT be serious! This is the power of the two leaders of this world? Didn't you say you were the Princesses of the Sun and Moon? Surely this can't be all you have!" Boros flashed out of sight, appearing above the two princesses to straight up smack them both down onto the ground with a single swoop from his mighty hand. "Maybe they'll be easier than what I even assumed, which isn't much to begin with, so you've really hit a new low here." He grabbed the two, both wounded and grounded, setting them aside. A few of his warriors came in with their weapons. "Chain them up nicely, and make sure they can't do anything at all but watch as this world is transformed by me." He commanded. They saluted and followed his orders, chaining the princesses and the guards up together tightly. They placed metal containers on any of the unicorns, along with the two rulers, but left their mouths to not be balled or gagged. Boros took a seat at his new throne and sighed comfortably. "I'll sit back for now and watch the show." Boros spoke loudly, a wide shit-eating grin all over his face. He felt like an unstoppable God here, which only fed his ego to new heights. He placed his hands behind his head and relaxed, the sounds of destruction and pain filling the background as everyone sat silently. Meanwhile, the Main 6 were already rushing into Canterlot after receiving an urgent letter from Princess Celestia prior to being confronted by the one-eyed alien, soon stopping at the back of the ship and looking up in revelation. Twilight's eyes dilated with horror, flying upwards far above the ship to see what was happening in Canterlot in a bird's-eye view, only leaving her in a larger state of shock once she witnessed numerous aliens capturing and brutalizing her kind like it was nothing. She landed back down to her friends and shook her head. "We need to get to the castle!" Her horn then glowed, teleporting her and her friends into the Canterlot Castle, where they entered the throne room soon after with panicked eyes. Boros blinked his large eye and looked over at the 6. "And who might you six be? Perhaps you've come to resist me." He stood back up, revealing his massive stature. The Main 6 gasped at the sight of Boros, sitting on the throne of their princess. Their attention moved towards the chained up guards, who were badly injured, and Celestia and Luna. They were all unconscious. Without giving much awareness to Boros, they rushed to the unconscious ponies quickly. "Don't worry, they aren't dead... yet. They were merely knocked out from my sheer greatness." Boros guffawed at his remark. "Please... please wake up!" Twilight cried as she looked at them with teary eyes. They turned back over to Boros, but he was nowhere to be found. Just the echoes of what sounded like a fading cackle. The princesses were gone too, suddenly leaving them alone and demented. "W-where did they go?" Fluttershy whispered, glancing around at the now soundless room. "I don't know... we... failed at protecting Equestria..." Twilight sobbed as she looked at the throne room floor. Back at the Cave, Grogar witnessed this entire facade using his crystal ball with many questions. This certainly wasn't the plan... there was never supposed to be some Alien Invasion! Grogar growled, his crystal ball fading back to normal. "Change of plans. Before we try to do ANYTHING, we're going to meet this 'Boros' figure... or should I say... YOU four are going to. Think of it as a test of cooperation. Perhaps we can gain some info on him and utilize him for our greater plan." "Tch, what's the use of another low life when you already have I, KING SOMBRA! I'm the only one with the power to defeat them all!" Sombra protested, his teeth shining. "And yet you were defeated? You're only here because I wanted you here! I can always change my mind at any time and send any one of you back to the hellhole you came from! If you don't listen to me, we will never succeed at anything we do! The reason those ponies defeat you all is because they team up! Use their strengths against them and turn it into a weakness!" Chrysalis rolled her eyes. "This better be worth my time and effort!" She hissed. "I assure you that this all has the outcome each and every one of you dreamed of! Now go! Find this alien and confront him!" He tapped his bell and sent them all away instantly to find Lord Boros. Grogar turned towards his crystal ball again and watched the Villains' journey in the hope's that they would team up for once and work together. Chapter ThreeBoros sighed to himself as he boarded his ship again, the two princesses still tied up on a chain which Boros pulled with him along the way to drag them with him. "I'll just let this play out, as there seems to be no need for me to do much else here." Hopefully some creature comes along to bring some stimulation to my existence... but that's unlikely here. He thought, sitting down on his throne, a hand holding his head up as he stared away into space, his eye lidding in boredom. The princesses woke up to find themselves in a dark room, chained together, next to Boros, who didn't seem to notice. They snapped out of their chained prison with their strong stature and took their stances. "BOROS! WHERE ARE WE?! AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PONIES!" Celestia shouted, using her Canterlot Voice. Boros' ears rung as his face scrunched up, glancing at the large pony. "You'd be pleased to know that they are perfectly fine, from what I know. I didn't do anything to them, so there's no reason to make me deaf." He mused, turning his cheek. "And you're on my ship, within my Throne Room." Celestia scowled. "Why are you doing this?" "Isn't it obvious? I conquer galaxies for my amusement, but it's also because I want to find the perfect warrior, one that can battle me with true intensity... you see, the planet I came from is unlike any other. It was unlivable in your circumstances. My kind was created to resist these uninhabitable environments. It was a long fight for dominance, really. I am the pinnacle of my race. I possess a body that can destroy land masses with ease and send chills through even the strongest beings. You think I'm just going to live my life miserably, gaining no excitement out of it? You'd be heavily mistaken." Boros stood up from his throne. "Foolish lower lifeforms such as yourself would never understand me, because you've never had such strength. Call me selfish if you want, but I'd rather go out as a legend than simply a villain." "If you think you can just take my land and slaughter my ponies without reprimands, you're gravely mistaken, Boros!" Celestia growled under her breath. "If it is a thrilling fight you wish, you may get it, but it won't be one you'll enjoy. You're tyranny ends here!" Luna added, just as visibly angered as her sister. "If you say so, but don't try to fight me again. We know how that will go." Boros ridiculed the two with his reckless attitude. "I will fight every single one of your warriors if it so pleases you. But, if I find out this is a mere bluff, then I will resort to the Nuclear option and bombshell your entire planet to Hell!" Boros laughed at himself, walking out of his throne room. "MELZARGARD! Guard these two 'Princesses' for me, won't you?!" Melzargard turned to the two with his numerous heads, a dull smile spread across each one of them. "I'd love to, Lord Boros." He muttered, approaching the two. His massive footsteps lightly shook the room due to his sheer size. "We're going to have a lot of fun." One head spoke. A high pitched laugh exited another. "Good idea." Another said, praising the other heads. Celestia and Luna's eyes shrunk as the freak of nature approached them menacingly. "...Oh dear..." They both whispered in unison, glancing at each other. ~ Boros strolled through Canterlot happily, looking around as his men continued to terrorize the city and beyond. "What a beautiful day." He cheekily noted. While walking towards the border of Canterlot, he was stopped by four very distinguishable individuals. One was a large, muscular, red Minotaur, with a small pegasus filly right next to it, floating mid-air, then there was what looked like a bug-pony hybrid with holes in it's legs and a long, crooked horn, and then a dark colored pony wearing a red royal mantle with a curved horn that was red at the tip, and grey armor that covered his neck down to his upper chest along with armor plates on his legs. "What a strange cast of characters we have here..." Queen Chrysalis eyed him. "You're this 'Boros' figure, are you not?" She asked bluntly. "Lord Boros. Who's asking, exactly?" He snapped back, giving her slight attitude. "Queen Chrysalis of the soon-to-be Changling Kingdom." "Don't forget us, too!" Cozy butted in, an innocent look on her face. "...and King Sombra, Lord Tirek, and the foal." "It's Cozy Glow..." "Yeah, sure, whatever." Chrysalis rolled her eyes. "What do you want from me? Are you those would-be warriors that dare challenge me?" Boros questioned, tapping his foot as if he were impatiently waiting to move along. "We aren't here to defy you or your plans, but we are here to ask what you are doing here." Tirek took a step towards Boros as he spoke. "Well, take a look around you. I'm conquering these lands as I usually do." Boros looked behind him, chaos ensuing as usual. "I think I'm doing a swell job at it." "That's why we ask you to join our club!" Cozy shouted enthusiastically, leaning in towards Boros. "Club? What, are you this planet's villains?" "We're also soon to be this planet's rulers! Particularly ME when I return to The Crystal Empire and steal back the throne that is rightfully mine!" Sombra yelled out. "I see. It's quite the interesting offer, but I'm afraid I work alone, as the leader of my own band of baddies. You could always join as underlings if you so desire, it's probably best for you anyways..." They acted disgusted once Boros muttered the word 'underlings'. Typical villains. "I will not, and SHALL not work under some freak like you!" Chrysalis hissed. "Then don't. You'll be with the rest of these miserable fools when this planet is destroyed down to it's last atom!" Boros pushed them out of the way and continued to walk away as if nothing happened. Tirek made a sour look after he was pushed out of the way and cracked his knuckles. "You think you can treat Lord Tirek as a piece of trash?" He jumped up, stomping in front of Boros to make him stop. "Oh, please, don't tell me you're offended by your own stupidity!" Tirek glared daggers in his eyes as he balled his fists, a ball of energy forming in between his horns. "I can and will shatter you into a thousand pieces before you even blink!" A beam was fired soon after his cocky statement, but Boros simply slapped it away and counterattacked with a punch right to the gut that sent Tirek flying straight upwards. "Forget it, childish moron, your power is as weak as the wannabe princesses that got destroyed in a slap by me earlier." Tirek landed next to the other three right on his face, a loud groan coming from him. He stood back up, stumbling a bit. Blood dripped from his nose as he wiped his face. Boros then turned back to them. "I must admit though, you have potential. I can sense your energy levels. It's rather interesting to me." Boros smiled at them. "So I'll offer again. Join the Dark Matter Thieves. You won't have to be my underlings, but you will follow me and conquer to your heart's content. What do you say?" They seemed to think about it, which was a good sign "If we do join you... will we still be able to conquer Equestria, and do as we please?" Sombra asked with curiosity. "Yes, and much more... you'll go down as legends with me, and no creature will be able to face you ever again!" They began to laugh devilishly as they imagined their own twisted dreams. "Yes!" They shouted confidently in unison. "Perfect... truly perfect." Boros replied. This is getting interesting. Chapter FourThe Main Six were a bit occupied with Boros' goons, fighting them off as best they could as more poured in and surrounded them. Granted, the soldiers were honestly very weak, on scale with the Changlings that they fought when they first invaded. Their bodies stacked one after another as the six bashed them in and blasted them away with little to no fight. Though, they were soon interrupted by Melzargard, walking out of the ship holding the two princesses in each hand with smiles on their faces. They dropped the two who the ground, who were exhausted after Melzargard playfully messing with them until they couldn't handle anymore. "I hope I did a good job taking care of them." Whispered the first head in a pitched laugh, the other heads agreeing unanimously. Rainbow caught sight of Melzargard and the princesses and blasted towards their direction, only to be stopped by Twilight's magic. "Tch- let me go! Let me kick their asses!" Rainbow pleaded as she struggled to move. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Rainbow!" AJ shouted. Melzargard chortled, each one of them, to mock Rainbow's attempt at attacking them. "Seems like a couple more want to be slayed." Commented a head. "Then let's bash them into paste!" Another shouted. "Good idea!" Melzargard's hand shapeshifter into a massive axe, swiping it horizontally. The many fodder warriors that were in his way were perfectly sliced through by Melzargard's axe-hand. "Learn to move." It bluntly stated, approaching the Main 6. Twilight formed a large magical dome around her and her friends as Melzargard's massive axe struck down at it, creating a crack in her shield. They began to bash it repeatedly, cracking it more until Twilight couldn't hold it up much longer, another swing thrown right down at her. Instinctively, she teleported everypony away as soon as she saw the axe, reappearing in the distance. Melzargard turned it's many heads towards them slowly. "Is this all you have to offer?" A few slow claps could be heard towards the left, catching their attention. "Good job, Melzargard; but I can handle it from here." Boros stood tall with the new recruits behind him, his arms crossed with pure confidence oozing from him. His eyes scanned over to the Main 6. "Greetings. I don't think we properly introduced." He raised his hand. "Let us exchange names before we battle" Boros approached them. "I lead the pirate band known,as Dark Matter, and am Dominator of the Universe. I am Boros." "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." Twilight replied with a strong voice. "Twilight..." He repeated. "What do you want with Equestria?!" Rarity exclaimed. "What I want with Equestria? There exists a prophecy. Once, I traveled the universe, ravaging everything in sight. But I was too strong. Eventually, there were none left who could face me. I came to know the torment of utter, all-encompassing boredom. Then one day, a seer told me... on a faraway planet, a being exists my match, one who could rekindle my passion for battle. That was nearly twenty years ago. Have you any idea the distance I have traveled to get here? My men thought the prophecy was a ruse, made up to lure me away… but it's too late to turn back now. You must face me for the sake of your meaningless lives. Come. Give stimulation to my existence!" Twilight looked at her friends before glaring at Boros, becoming surrounded by a light. Boros simply speculated as he watched the six become surrounded by light, rising into the air. "Lord Boros, are you not-" Boros raised his hand to halt Melzargard. "Do not question me." A rainbow beam blasted into the sky, striking Boros dead on. He skidded slightly as he growled, resisting the endless amounts of power hitting him all at once. He eventually began to shout, his voice being heard all around. His armor began to crack... and crack... until it was shattered, a flash blinding everyone, causing the Main Six to revert back to normal. "This set of armor, used to seal in my immeasurable, irresistible power…" A glimpse of Boros could be seen, his head facing the ground as every muscle in his body tended up. "...has been broken." Immense power blasted from his body, shattering the ground into tiny pieces and forcing everybody to be pinned on the ground due to the immense pressure that seeped out of him, affecting everything for miles. After the destruction of his armor, Boros's appearance changed. His muscle mass increased, and his body grew spiky plates and his spine and the surrounding tissue became exposed, while his skin changed to a navy blue color with light blue markings that emitted energy. He also had an additional yellow eye under his chest which moved in sync with his original, now yellow eye and his hair was completely spiked up becoming slightly darker in color. "It is time!" Boros exclaimed. Every creature in the vicinity seemed to just stare in awe as they faced the all-powerful Boros. Even his own men and new recruits didn't have anything to say to this. Boros interrupted the moment by flickering seemingly instantly from his position, appearing right in front of Twilight and her friends with a heavy blow flying her way. Twilight had no time to react and was sent flying into the sky as a result, in unbearable pain as she landed on top of a destroyed building, coming in and out of consciousness. She soon stood back up, cowering slightly. Her nose bleed profusely, but she didn't care, her eyes firing daggers at Boros. She blasted forwards with a massive beam of energy that dwarfed the surrounding buildings. Rainbow quickly retrieved her friends and flashed out of the way and evacuated everypony as they possibly could as Boros would counter Twilight's blast with an energy blast of his own, exiting his chest. "Now to release the destructive energy held within me! Any normal creature hit by it would find even their bones vaporized!" Boros fed his own ego to raise his excitement as the two beams clashed with each other, an explosion booming from the two as a result, vaporizing everything for a good mile. Twilight flew down and planted her hooves into the ground as she panted heavily, facing Boros who had a few scratches, along with a sudden missing arm after the explosion struck him. "Behind you!" Boros suddenly said, throwing a quick jab at Twilight's face, sending her skidding. "It's impressive that you could survive even this long... but the outcome of this battle is clear. My species won the struggle to survive amidst the harsh environment of our home world. We possess the ultimate in regenerative abilities. I, in particular, have self-healing power, physical prowess and latent energy beyond your conception. A deep wound that would be fatal for you, heals itself on me in mere moments. By focusing all my energy on my destroyed arm, I can explosively speed up the healing process." His destroyed arm convulsed and twitched before a new limb near instantly replaced his destroyed one. "Good as new." He opened and closed his hand continuously. Twilight finally caught her breath, looking at Boros with intense eyes. "This isn't over just yet! I can feel the energy of all my friends passing through me! They won't give up on me! So I won't give up on this either until you're finished!" She charged at him, swiping her horn to act as a blade as magic surrounded her body. Boros sidestepped and seemed to be pleased at Twilight's advances. "I do envy your determination and will. I can see why you're this planet's warrior. But, there's a time and a place for it when facing unrealistic odds.." He soon grabbed a hold to her and kneed her in the chest, shattering her ribs. "Perhaps you need a wakeup call." "You can do it, Twilight!" A voice rang out, echoing in the distance. Boros turned towards the source. "We believe in you!" The Main Six chanted in support of their friend, alongside some others who were gathered with them. "Don't give up!" Another shouted her way. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of support coming her way. "It seems as though you've gained yourself a little fanbase. Death seems so incomprehensible that you simply can't bare the thought of it." Boros sighed. "I'll make sure theirs is quick." Chapter FivePrincess Twilight and Lord Boros stood, facing each other in silence. Twilight was still shaken from Boros' simple yet power-packed attacks. The pain seared through her sore body, sweat bullets leaking from her body. She barely even kept her composure, and it hasn't even been twenty minutes yet. Yet, despite all odds, she stood her ground, not wanting to give in to this heartless alien cyclops! Out of every villain the entirety of Equestria has faced, it was this one that threatened everything with such confidence, it was terrifying to think about. Her friends, standing in the distance with hope in their eyes, expressed their own confidence towards Twilight as much as they could to encourage her, but they stopped their cheers and stared in silence. Their pride in Twilight was diminishing as reality came into the scene. She won't make it. Boros, on the other hand, hadn't moved since his last attack, his fists clenched. He stood tall, dominating Twilight with his size. The cocky cyclops rose his chin up, grinning from ear to ear. He had the clear advantage in this whole ordeal after all. He stretched his fingers out a bit. "You've got nothing else to give. I see your hopelessness. You might've lasted long enough to see my unleashed body, but you were too weak in truth." He let out a deep hum, pointing his palm at her, a light forming within it. "I'll remember you for your sacrifice to your planet, warrior." Before he could let his beam of energy loose, he was interrupted by a way too familiar voice in his head. "Lord Boros! I apologize for my rudeness, but I have grave news!" Boros slightly grunted to himself, clenching his fist and closing his large eye. Steam emitted from his hand. "What is it, Geryuganshoop?" Twilight winced and awaited her fate. She opened her eyes back up in curiosity, seeing Boros just stand there; talking to himself. She narrowed her eyebrows, raising her head. "There seems to be numerous other large civilizations on this planet other than... Ponies... and another princess all the way up to the north." Geryuganshoop reported, his voice echoing in Boros' head. "And you tell me this now? Tch, alright. How many soldiers are still in the reserves?" Boros demanded, his arms crossed as he shifted his weight. "If my numbers are correct... we have only 4,000 more, which barely even passes as 5% of our total servicemen." His voice weakened a bit. Boros shook his head in disappointment before looking at Twilight. "You know what? I've had a slight change of heart. You have ONE more chance to defend your planet with your all! You already know what happens if you can't, so don't make me repeat myself once again. Use my threats as encouragement and maybe you can really show me how to fight." Boros rose to the sky slowly, his arms still crossed while his feet dangled in the air. "Geryuganshoop, make yourself useful and order the rest of the reserves to make a move. It doesn't matter where, I just want it done. While your at it, bring the generals along too, that means yourself. Activate the ship's security system and place it on max, that way they don't try anything slick." "Yes, Lord Boros! Anything you say, Lord Boros! Geryuganshoop replied. And with that, the alien overlord vanished from their sights. Twilight let out a wheeze, her legs finally giving in on her. She laid on the ground and dozed off multiple times as the princesses and many of her friends rushed to her aid, worrying for her and her wellbeing more than anything else right now. "TWILIGHT!" Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and AJ shouted in union, helping their dear friend back up on her hooves. "Twi... are you alright?" Applejack asked worrisomely, a hoof on the back of Twilight's neck. "Y-yeah... I'm alright, I swear! I'm just exhausted... really, I was only scraped a bit..." She reassured, forcing a smile at her friends with an eye closed shut. "Well, you don't seem fine!" Rainbow protested, a genuine look of worry mixed with fear, confusion, and a flurry of many other emotions. Twilight let out a huff of air and looked at the ground, frowning. "I'm more worried about all of you! I don't want to see everything... DISAPPEAR! I don't know what I'd do without you guys... I don't... I don't want to let any of you down because I can't defend Equestria and defeat him!" She began to sob silently, tears flooding her cheeks as the river of emotions finally blew out. "Twilight..." A voice called out from beside her, drawing her attention. She moved her head slightly to only see a glimpse of Celestia. "No matter what, just know that I am proud of you. You made it this far with nothing but your tenacity and willingness to protect us all, and for that, we are all forever grateful, but you can't push yourself down like that... we know you can do this. You've faced so much. No matter how impossible it seems, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you and your friends will prevail." Her sweet, motherly voice calmed Twilight down. She looked up into her eyes and hugged her with a warm smile. "Thank you, Princess... I won't let you down! I won't let any creature down! We will do this together!" She proudly beamed, looking at her friends. She regained strength to stand on her own. "The fate of Equestria rests upon us!" "Don't push yourself too far, Darling. As much as we want to face that monster, you need to get some rest! We'll plan for you in the mean time." Rarity stated, ushering Twilight back to her crystal castle along with her friends. "Rest?! I can't rest! Who knows what he's doing out there now!" Twilight panicked, her breath speeding up. She was definitely more resilient now than she has ever been in her whole life, and she expressed that well, not wanting to waste a single second. Rarity sighed. "We aren't convincing you this time, are we?" "Nope!" Twilight answered almost instantly as she began to rush back to her castle. "I need to get to my library! There's got to be a book there somewhere!" The Main Six sighed, much louder this time, as they followed behind Twilight who was acting as if she had more energy in her than a small foal on their birthday. But hey, at least they know her wounds weren't much after all. Though, that might just be the only plus to come out of this giant façade. Hopes were held pretty damn high again with this last chance to defeat Boros and his underlings. ~ Speaking of the mad titan who got more impatient the longer they were on this wretched world, he was flying through the sky, his thoughts blank. He was headed North. He didn't know where, exactly, but he continued up north anyways until he found any sight of civilization anywhere. he then just remembered about those Equestrian Villains that he hired aboard, wondering where they were. He paused midair, looking around the flat lands and plains to see if they were nearby, and alas, they were also traveling up north in a group. Perhaps they were going to target the supposed fourth princess that lived in the Northern territory. He blasted down towards them with a flashy entrance and stuck his landing perfectly, a quick cloud of dust puffing out from his feet and dissipated in the air. "Well hello there, Mr. Boros! It's nice to see you again after your... squabble!" Cozy tried acting as innocent as can be with her rosy cheeks as she beamed a wide smile. Boros simply looked at each of them with a stoic, stone face. "I wouldn't call it a squabble, I wasn't arguing for twenty minutes straight with a wannabe princess. More of a quick, nonfriendly spar. It certainly put me in the mood, too bad she was weaker than I originally thought. That beam her and her friends casted on me felt so surreal to me, I hadn't taken that much damage in over a millennia. With that out of the way, what are you doing here?" "Oh, I saw a partial moment of the fight and I could already tell you crushed her! Bahahahahaha!" Tirek bellowed. "Yeah, it was... alright, but nothing a King such as I couldn't handle!" Sombra boasted, as usual, placed a hoof upon his chest in a regal manner. "Will you shut up about yourself already?!" Chrysalis shouted, ticked off a bit. "Anyways... we're here to go deal with those prissy crystal ponies and that ridiculous Cadence!" She hissed at the thought of the Crystal Empire and that princess again, getting flashbacks to when she was defeated. "Splendid, because that's where I am headed as well. I'm going to have so much fun once we're there, but don't worry, I'll make sure not to hog all of the fun. You deserve it too for joining forces with me." Boros began walking down the path to the Crystal Empire, the group of villains following right beside him. It was most certainly a long walk, but he had more than enough energy to spare. This is a perfect time to get to know each other at the same time! There's nothing more soothing than villains learning about each other in the pursuit of conquering the planet together. Chapter SixIt was around an hour or two into the villains' journey. The sun began to set in the distance, making the hills it's grave as night began to settle and the Moon rose into it's place. Boros took notice, gazing at the sight of the stars popping out. He stopped his tracks along with the others. "Has it really been that long since I've made my entrance here?" Boros queried. "It shouldn't be too much longer." Tirek stated, continuing further. He shrugged to himself and kept up. "Usually I would have this planet done for by now, but I've taken things a bit more slowly. I've truly become desperate..." "I wasn't going to say anything about it, but I can't help but question how you obtained your strength." Chrysalis walked a bit closer towards Boros. "Is it hard to comprehend that I worked for it? I am centuries old, I can't just do nothing. I've spent enough of my life, trapped on my own planet with no thrill whatsoever. Of course, I still have yet to find that thrill, but at least I can act excited when I conquer these planets. It's something to do, isn't it? Ever since I dropped training due to my lack of progress, it became apparent I needed something new to fill in that gap, so I did what I could and started my own crew of space pirates, later morphing into the most feared being in the Universe." "Don't think of me as pure evil because I do what I do, it's just that it's all I have left to feel whole. Where I'm from, there's no such thing as mercy or passions. You conquer and fight because that's all you can do at the end of the day. I still hold true to those ideals, thus I conquer and conquer, either till a creature slays me with their mighty power or the Universe is under my palms." Boros finished, looking at her with a dull eye. "To answer your question, though, it was a long process of just fighting for my life until others had to fight for theirs when facing me." He let out a throaty chuckle. "Those were the days." "You're super different from us, aren't you?" Cozy butted herself into the conversation with a blunt question. "He's an alien, I think you're a lost here." Tirek pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes. "Aren't you all alien to each other anyways?" Boros' eye glanced over his shoulder. "...Good point." Boros looked in front of him again to finally spot what looked like the outskirts of the Crystal Empire. The dead giveaway being the fact that everything was... well, crystal. "Alright, folks, looks like we're here! My generals should be here at any moment, but in the meantime, why don't we make ourselves known?" He grinned at the group of villains. They each seemed to enjoy his words, laughing as usual like villains. They split up, either taking flight or straight up running in. Boros, though, decided to spectate first, curious of what they could do with their power. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor had already been warned of the impending dangers and prepared with what little time they had, collecting each one of their soldiers form the barracks to prepare for anything, no matter how tough it may be. Even with the preperation time, they were still left in the dark for what was to come. ~ Melzargard, Geryuganshoop, and Groribas, Boros' three Dark Matter Generals, showed their faces not long after the villains' recess started. A smile donned on Boros' face as he took notice. "Ah, my trusted friends. You're just in time. We've only just begun our coup d'état. Come, come! Join us!" The three exchanged looks before smiling back at their Lord. "Wait... did you say 'us'?" Geryuganshoop's smile faded a bit in curiosity. "Indeed! I have found ourselves new fresh meat to join our crew." Boros responded enthusiastically, turning back towards the Crystal Empire. The four seemed to be doing quite well together. They've ran the entire kingdom into near-anarchy and it's been what, half an hour? In any case, it looked like a complete trash bin, with the help of Sombra's crystal magic, Tirek's tyrannical strength and absorption ability, Chrysalis' love-draining magic, and Cozy's machiavellian spirit. Even Boros felt a bit of pride for them and their uniqueness. "I'll be sure to have you all meet each other after our fun is over." His legs bent a little, putting weight into them. "In the meantime, enjoy your field day!" Boros took off, shattering the ground below his feet with his reckless force. He flew through the sky and aimed to land directly in the center of the Crystal Empire, demolishing an unfortunate fountain. He stood up, his fists balled. He scanned the area of any targets. His eyes soon landed on what looked like a pony, but with slightly distinctive features compared to the ones in Canterlot. Their color palette was one thing, but their eyes were the most visible, which reminded him of crystals... fitting. He approached the shocked pony, every step louder than the last. His presence felt murderous. The pony was certainly trembling, not capable of moving at all. He just gawked in terror. "Now, now, young one, you have no need to look so mortified. The death I will lay upon you will be painless." Boros reassured the stud in a mocking tone. "...Well... as painless as a beating can be!" The pony's screams could be heard echoing the streets to the point where it was bloodcurdling, but cut out abruptly only a moment later. Boros wiped his hands and looked at the lifeless pony that laid before him with a stern face. "Well, you certainly didn't care for you life if you can't even put up a fight." He then lifted his head up, facing the tall Crystal Castle, the sweet, sweet sounds of despair filling his ears in the background. "Let's see how those rookies have been doing. " He thought, strolling through the rubble that now littered the streets.
Chapter OneIt was a beautiful day out in Ponyville. The sun beamed down with no cloud in sight, the birds chirping happily... it was safe to say that this was going to be a grand day! Or so it seemed, at the start. But this doesn't start in Ponyville, or on Equestria for that matter. It started in the middle of space, on a large spaceship, which was the size of a large city. Within it held hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers that called themselves the 'Dark Matter Thieves'. They traveled the Universe, conquering and ruling numerous galaxies for generations. It was only a matter of time before they met Equestria, right? The leader of the band was Boros, a 7'10" cyclops-like alien with light-pink, spiky hair and bangs that fell over his face. He had sharp teeth and pointed ears lined with a row of gold earrings. He had one large blue eye and light blue skin with dark blue crack-shaped markings that started from his eye and covered most of his body. He wore a set of armor with spikes on the shoulder and forearms and wore a pair of matching curved boots. He also had a red orb on his chest with purple markings on his stomach and arms. He wore a pair of white harem pants, held by a magenta-colored sash with silver-lined purple blades hanging from it. Despite his regal appearance, he was no King. He didn't fit such a title. He was instead known as The Dominator of The Universe. Lord Boros sat on top of his throne, silently staring at the entrance of the throne room, eagerly awaiting an update on a possible new planet to invade. Coincidentally, Geryuganshoop, one of the Dark Matter Thieves Generals, soon contacted Boros. "Splendid news, Lord Boros! We have discovered a new planet called... 'Equestria.' Fitting name too, as this planet is inhabited by some sort of Equus." Boros raised an eyebrow to that. "You're saying this planet is full of quadrupedal animals?" Geryuganshoop cleared his throat. "Precisely, my Lord. And from the looks of it, they are an advanced and civilized society. But they aren't the only race. It seems all walks of life can be seen on this planet, each one as civilized as the other. Boros grinned a bit. "How peculiar. But no matter, it shall be confronted by our unstoppable forces. Prepare to enter the orbit and make sure we get a clear landing." "Understood, Lord Boros." Geryuganshoop obliged, his voice fading out. Boros then stood up and began to slowly pace the spacious throne room, his hands resting behind his back. Back on Equestria, many ponies are just starting their days as the Sun arose brightly, joyously strolling the streets, minding their businesses, while many of the shops prepared as they opened up. Twilight was inside, reading a book on Mushroom facts, Rainbow Dash was clearing the skies of clouds, Fluttershy was outside setting up a birdhouse for her bird friends, Applejack was shipping a trailer of apples into town, Pinkie Pie was baking various delights, and Rarity was sewing a new line of dresses. It felt like yet another nice day, with nothing out of the norm, every creature oblivious of what's to come in only a few minutes. In Tartarus, both Tirek and Cozy Glow were within their intentionally eternal prisons, bored out of their minds as usual. Cozy Glow looked up at Tirek between the bars with a curious look "Have we talked about... err... what we were going to do if we ever got out?" Tirek glanced at her with a blank look. "Yes. Numerous times actually. So much so that I have your plan down word by word in my head." He sighed miserably, sitting down and looking at the filthy floor. "Don't worry, Tirek! We'll be able to escape soon!" Cozy Glow smiled brightly. "And how do you think we will do that?" Tirek muttered through his teeth. Just as he said that, a black shadow engulfed the two, teleporting them outside of Tartarus instantly. Not-so-queen Chrysalis, with her wood pieces with carved changeling faces, stood in the middle of the forest with a psychotic look on her face. "One day, you'll see, I'll make Twilight Sparkle and her friends pay for stealing my KINGDOM!" She shouted at a random piece of wood, laughing maniacally, before vanishing from the forest after the same 'shadow' engulfed her. The three villains appeared in a dimly lit cave, far from any form of civilization for miles. Confused, they looked around, stumbling upon each other. "Lord Tirek? Why did you summon me! What do you want?" Chrysalis demanded, glaring at the two. "Oh golly, we didn't bring you, I thought YOU freed US from Tartarus!" Cozy commented, hovering next to Tirek. "Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been a pony very powerful indeed." Chrysalis added. They soon drew their attention to the front of the room as a black shadow appeared, followed by the cackle of another well-known enemy... King Sombra. Sombra stood tall, a cocky look plastered on his face as he looked at the group. "King Sombra? You have returned? Why did you bring us here?" Chrysalis asked, stepping forward. Before a word could be said, a new voice was heard behind them in the distance. "He didn't." The voice was low, grisly, and intimidating. Hoofsteps were heard getting closer, revealing the voice to be a blue ram wearing bells around his neck, but not an ordinary one. It was the legendary tyrannical ruler who used to once dominate the lands of Equestria and bring darkness along with him. He was an outcast ever since his defeat and never was heard from again, until today. The bearded ram made his way down the path, approaching the four Villains. "It was I. You may call me, Grogar!" He planted his front legs on top of a rock in front of his orb. They all gasped in unison. "THE Grogar?" Chrysalis questioned. "I thought you were a legend!" Tirek exclaimed with shock. "I have heard of you..." King Sombra commented, appearing from black clouds next to Chrysalis. Cozy glow flew up off the ground. "Who?" The four grouped around the rock to listen to Grogar and soon plan their return and revenge on Equestria and the Main 6. At first, this was going to be another fight between Equestria's heroes and their villains once again, but a certain ship was going to change up the entire scenario into something that Equestria has never faced before. Lord Boros and his crew entered orbit, preparing a landing within Canterlot, which was coincidentally the "Capital" of Equestria, in many creatures' eyes at least. As it approached the planet, it became increasingly obvious that something was odd. Soon, the Sun's light was blocked out, shadowed by the sheer mass and size of the ship. Once the townsponies took notice, they began to panic, running away from the ship that was about to land right on top of them. The ship destroyed surrounding buildings to make wave, clearing out the area. Legs protruded from the ship to allow for a calm, smooth, and slow landing. The large door to the ship opened up, a bridge slowly extending from it down to the ground. A few fodder warriors popped out, which were completely alien to the races of Equestria, clearing the area. Then, a large figure came out, one that looked much more royal and important compared to the other aliens. "Yet another grand landing. Nice work, Geryuganshoop." Boros said softly, humming to himself as he stepped out of his ship and walked down the bridge. "So, this is Equestria? How nice." He pointed at a random shocked bystander, which was a young, male grey pony, who went wide eyed immediately, stepping back a bit. "You. Who is your ruler? You have one, don't you? At least someone who is of authority?" The pony began to sweat as he stuttered. "Uh-uh... um..." His eyes darted around. "SPEAK!" Boros demanded, his voice shifting from calm to loud and demanding. His voice boomed across the area, striking fear into the ponies. "P-PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA!" The pony screeched out, cowering as he ducked. "Nicely done." Boros lowered his finger, a toothy grin on his face as he slowly approached the poor citizen. "Take me to them." "But-" A hand covered the pony's mouth. "I didn't ask, I demanded." He said quietly in a lower tone. The pony nodded, moving towards the castle very cautiously, Lord Boros following right behind him. He looked around at his surroundings along the way as if he were visiting some Museum like a curious child. "What's your name." Boros asked monotonously. The pegasus pony avoided eye contact as he continued to walk. "Um... Grey Skies..." "Ah, what an interesting name. Do you all have similar names?" Boros looked up at what he guessed was the castle as he spoke. "I-I guess..." Grey Skies replied, lowering his head. "Don't feel so tense. I'm not targeting you, but rather your planet. Worst case scenario is your planet exploding into dust. Painless death." Boros stated happily, still smiling. Though, this only made the pegasus even more tense and anxious, fearing death as it stood right next to him. Boros then paused. "I can take it from here. Make sure you tell your friends and family, and as a matter of fact, everyone you see, that you are about to witness history... tell them all to fear the name 'Lord Boros', the Dominator of The Universe. You can do that... can't you?" He looked straight down at Grey Skies, a menacing aura coming off of him. "Y-yes... sir..." Is all he could mutter under his breath. "You're dismissed." Boros waved his hand in a dismissive manner. The pony ran off as fast as he could. Boros cracked the ground below him, shattering it once he took to the skies, flying at impressive speeds right towards the Canterlot Castle. "Geryuganshoop, order the warriors to start invading this planet, I'll be taking care of the Leaders." "Of course, my Lord." Geryuganshoop replied, doing as he said immediately. Thus begins the Invasion of Equestria.
Chapter TwoBy now, the Royal Guardsponies have taken notice, which should be an obvious statement considering that a ship the size of Manhattan just stopped by for a visit, but they're usually useless, and it's no different in this situation either. Many of them took to the throne room to protect their Princesses, but a few handfuls decided to test Boros' warriors who were pouring out from the ship in waves, each one armed to the teeth compared to the guards who had... flimsy metal on their heads and a sharp stick to fend off opponents, basically. It didn't take long for the greatly outnumbered guardsponies to be overwhelmed in battle, and were soon either captured or worse, killed. None of this was of true importance. Boros didn't even think about their presence here, he already knew this planet probably didn't need much force pushed onto it to bring it towards the edge of the cliff. Speaking of Boros, he soon landed perfectly within the throne room with a dramatic entrance, shattering the stained glass as soon as he made contact with it, leaving a gaping hole exposed. He skidded ever-so-slightly, his gold-plated boots gripping to the floor for an easier landing. "My my, I am just full of surprises, aren't I?" Boros commented on himself, cooing as he turned towards what he only assumed were the Princesses surrounded by the useless ponies, because they were sitting in their throne of course. The Royal Guards took stances as they pointed their weapons towards Boros as if they would convince him, to which he laughed mockingly. "Let us just cut to the chase." He stepped forward, closer, his arms crossed. "Lord Boros, The Dominator of The Universe and leader of my Pirate Band." The two finally stood up for once throughout this whole ordeal. The tall, white one with the colorful flowing mane then spoke up, with a little regal tone if you will. "Princess Celestia of the Sun and the Ruler of Equestria alongside my sister, Princess Luna of the Moon. Tell us what you plan on doing!" Her voice deadpanned as she stared at Boros. Boros smiled. "I'm glad you asked. You can either surrender now and give up these lands peacefully, which in turn, we will enslave you and your peoples for our profit, or you can go out with a... bang, as I like to call it. I have already ordered a few hundred of my warriors to loot and take these lands. You're surrounded as a result, and are separated from the rest of the world." "If you think I'd ever allow for something such as this to happen, you're a fool!" Celestia shouted, ordering her guards to charge him. But, before they could make their moves, they were suddenly stripped of their armor and weapons in the blink of an eye, a pile of the same exact armory and weaponry standing next to Boros. "I get how hard it may be to submit, but be realistic, if you think pastel ponies are going to harm me, let alone my warriors, then you need a sweet taste of reality." A ball of purple energy formed within the grasp of Boros, chucking it in front of the unarmed guards, sending them flying helplessly in numerous directions, taking severe burn damage. "Now, be a leader for once and actually face me!" The two Princesses took flight, both firing beams of magic at Boros with anger. Boros chuckled once they hit him, leaving him unharmed. "You canNOT be serious! This is the power of the two leaders of this world? Didn't you say you were the Princesses of the Sun and Moon? Surely this can't be all you have!" Boros flashed out of sight, appearing above the two princesses to straight up smack them both down onto the ground with a single swoop from his mighty hand. "Maybe they'll be easier than what I even assumed, which isn't much to begin with, so you've really hit a new low here." He grabbed the two, both wounded and grounded, setting them aside. A few of his warriors came in with their weapons. "Chain them up nicely, and make sure they can't do anything at all but watch as this world is transformed by me." He commanded. They saluted and followed his orders, chaining the princesses and the guards up together tightly. They placed metal containers on any of the unicorns, along with the two rulers, but left their mouths to not be balled or gagged. Boros took a seat at his new throne and sighed comfortably. "I'll sit back for now and watch the show." Boros spoke loudly, a wide shit-eating grin all over his face. He felt like an unstoppable God here, which only fed his ego to new heights. He placed his hands behind his head and relaxed, the sounds of destruction and pain filling the background as everyone sat silently. Meanwhile, the Main 6 were already rushing into Canterlot after receiving an urgent letter from Princess Celestia prior to being confronted by the one-eyed alien, soon stopping at the back of the ship and looking up in revelation. Twilight's eyes dilated with horror, flying upwards far above the ship to see what was happening in Canterlot in a bird's-eye view, only leaving her in a larger state of shock once she witnessed numerous aliens capturing and brutalizing her kind like it was nothing. She landed back down to her friends and shook her head. "We need to get to the castle!" Her horn then glowed, teleporting her and her friends into the Canterlot Castle, where they entered the throne room soon after with panicked eyes. Boros blinked his large eye and looked over at the 6. "And who might you six be? Perhaps you've come to resist me." He stood back up, revealing his massive stature. The Main 6 gasped at the sight of Boros, sitting on the throne of their princess. Their attention moved towards the chained up guards, who were badly injured, and Celestia and Luna. They were all unconscious. Without giving much awareness to Boros, they rushed to the unconscious ponies quickly. "Don't worry, they aren't dead... yet. They were merely knocked out from my sheer greatness." Boros guffawed at his remark. "Please... please wake up!" Twilight cried as she looked at them with teary eyes. They turned back over to Boros, but he was nowhere to be found. Just the echoes of what sounded like a fading cackle. The princesses were gone too, suddenly leaving them alone and demented. "W-where did they go?" Fluttershy whispered, glancing around at the now soundless room. "I don't know... we... failed at protecting Equestria..." Twilight sobbed as she looked at the throne room floor. Back at the Cave, Grogar witnessed this entire facade using his crystal ball with many questions. This certainly wasn't the plan... there was never supposed to be some Alien Invasion! Grogar growled, his crystal ball fading back to normal. "Change of plans. Before we try to do ANYTHING, we're going to meet this 'Boros' figure... or should I say... YOU four are going to. Think of it as a test of cooperation. Perhaps we can gain some info on him and utilize him for our greater plan." "Tch, what's the use of another low life when you already have I, KING SOMBRA! I'm the only one with the power to defeat them all!" Sombra protested, his teeth shining. "And yet you were defeated? You're only here because I wanted you here! I can always change my mind at any time and send any one of you back to the hellhole you came from! If you don't listen to me, we will never succeed at anything we do! The reason those ponies defeat you all is because they team up! Use their strengths against them and turn it into a weakness!" Chrysalis rolled her eyes. "This better be worth my time and effort!" She hissed. "I assure you that this all has the outcome each and every one of you dreamed of! Now go! Find this alien and confront him!" He tapped his bell and sent them all away instantly to find Lord Boros. Grogar turned towards his crystal ball again and watched the Villains' journey in the hope's that they would team up for once and work together.
Chapter ThreeBoros sighed to himself as he boarded his ship again, the two princesses still tied up on a chain which Boros pulled with him along the way to drag them with him. "I'll just let this play out, as there seems to be no need for me to do much else here." Hopefully some creature comes along to bring some stimulation to my existence... but that's unlikely here. He thought, sitting down on his throne, a hand holding his head up as he stared away into space, his eye lidding in boredom. The princesses woke up to find themselves in a dark room, chained together, next to Boros, who didn't seem to notice. They snapped out of their chained prison with their strong stature and took their stances. "BOROS! WHERE ARE WE?! AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY PONIES!" Celestia shouted, using her Canterlot Voice. Boros' ears rung as his face scrunched up, glancing at the large pony. "You'd be pleased to know that they are perfectly fine, from what I know. I didn't do anything to them, so there's no reason to make me deaf." He mused, turning his cheek. "And you're on my ship, within my Throne Room." Celestia scowled. "Why are you doing this?" "Isn't it obvious? I conquer galaxies for my amusement, but it's also because I want to find the perfect warrior, one that can battle me with true intensity... you see, the planet I came from is unlike any other. It was unlivable in your circumstances. My kind was created to resist these uninhabitable environments. It was a long fight for dominance, really. I am the pinnacle of my race. I possess a body that can destroy land masses with ease and send chills through even the strongest beings. You think I'm just going to live my life miserably, gaining no excitement out of it? You'd be heavily mistaken." Boros stood up from his throne. "Foolish lower lifeforms such as yourself would never understand me, because you've never had such strength. Call me selfish if you want, but I'd rather go out as a legend than simply a villain." "If you think you can just take my land and slaughter my ponies without reprimands, you're gravely mistaken, Boros!" Celestia growled under her breath. "If it is a thrilling fight you wish, you may get it, but it won't be one you'll enjoy. You're tyranny ends here!" Luna added, just as visibly angered as her sister. "If you say so, but don't try to fight me again. We know how that will go." Boros ridiculed the two with his reckless attitude. "I will fight every single one of your warriors if it so pleases you. But, if I find out this is a mere bluff, then I will resort to the Nuclear option and bombshell your entire planet to Hell!" Boros laughed at himself, walking out of his throne room. "MELZARGARD! Guard these two 'Princesses' for me, won't you?!" Melzargard turned to the two with his numerous heads, a dull smile spread across each one of them. "I'd love to, Lord Boros." He muttered, approaching the two. His massive footsteps lightly shook the room due to his sheer size. "We're going to have a lot of fun." One head spoke. A high pitched laugh exited another. "Good idea." Another said, praising the other heads. Celestia and Luna's eyes shrunk as the freak of nature approached them menacingly. "...Oh dear..." They both whispered in unison, glancing at each other. ~ Boros strolled through Canterlot happily, looking around as his men continued to terrorize the city and beyond. "What a beautiful day." He cheekily noted. While walking towards the border of Canterlot, he was stopped by four very distinguishable individuals. One was a large, muscular, red Minotaur, with a small pegasus filly right next to it, floating mid-air, then there was what looked like a bug-pony hybrid with holes in it's legs and a long, crooked horn, and then a dark colored pony wearing a red royal mantle with a curved horn that was red at the tip, and grey armor that covered his neck down to his upper chest along with armor plates on his legs. "What a strange cast of characters we have here..." Queen Chrysalis eyed him. "You're this 'Boros' figure, are you not?" She asked bluntly. "Lord Boros. Who's asking, exactly?" He snapped back, giving her slight attitude. "Queen Chrysalis of the soon-to-be Changling Kingdom." "Don't forget us, too!" Cozy butted in, an innocent look on her face. "...and King Sombra, Lord Tirek, and the foal." "It's Cozy Glow..." "Yeah, sure, whatever." Chrysalis rolled her eyes. "What do you want from me? Are you those would-be warriors that dare challenge me?" Boros questioned, tapping his foot as if he were impatiently waiting to move along. "We aren't here to defy you or your plans, but we are here to ask what you are doing here." Tirek took a step towards Boros as he spoke. "Well, take a look around you. I'm conquering these lands as I usually do." Boros looked behind him, chaos ensuing as usual. "I think I'm doing a swell job at it." "That's why we ask you to join our club!" Cozy shouted enthusiastically, leaning in towards Boros. "Club? What, are you this planet's villains?" "We're also soon to be this planet's rulers! Particularly ME when I return to The Crystal Empire and steal back the throne that is rightfully mine!" Sombra yelled out. "I see. It's quite the interesting offer, but I'm afraid I work alone, as the leader of my own band of baddies. You could always join as underlings if you so desire, it's probably best for you anyways..." They acted disgusted once Boros muttered the word 'underlings'. Typical villains. "I will not, and SHALL not work under some freak like you!" Chrysalis hissed. "Then don't. You'll be with the rest of these miserable fools when this planet is destroyed down to it's last atom!" Boros pushed them out of the way and continued to walk away as if nothing happened. Tirek made a sour look after he was pushed out of the way and cracked his knuckles. "You think you can treat Lord Tirek as a piece of trash?" He jumped up, stomping in front of Boros to make him stop. "Oh, please, don't tell me you're offended by your own stupidity!" Tirek glared daggers in his eyes as he balled his fists, a ball of energy forming in between his horns. "I can and will shatter you into a thousand pieces before you even blink!" A beam was fired soon after his cocky statement, but Boros simply slapped it away and counterattacked with a punch right to the gut that sent Tirek flying straight upwards. "Forget it, childish moron, your power is as weak as the wannabe princesses that got destroyed in a slap by me earlier." Tirek landed next to the other three right on his face, a loud groan coming from him. He stood back up, stumbling a bit. Blood dripped from his nose as he wiped his face. Boros then turned back to them. "I must admit though, you have potential. I can sense your energy levels. It's rather interesting to me." Boros smiled at them. "So I'll offer again. Join the Dark Matter Thieves. You won't have to be my underlings, but you will follow me and conquer to your heart's content. What do you say?" They seemed to think about it, which was a good sign "If we do join you... will we still be able to conquer Equestria, and do as we please?" Sombra asked with curiosity. "Yes, and much more... you'll go down as legends with me, and no creature will be able to face you ever again!" They began to laugh devilishly as they imagined their own twisted dreams. "Yes!" They shouted confidently in unison. "Perfect... truly perfect." Boros replied. This is getting interesting.
Chapter FourThe Main Six were a bit occupied with Boros' goons, fighting them off as best they could as more poured in and surrounded them. Granted, the soldiers were honestly very weak, on scale with the Changlings that they fought when they first invaded. Their bodies stacked one after another as the six bashed them in and blasted them away with little to no fight. Though, they were soon interrupted by Melzargard, walking out of the ship holding the two princesses in each hand with smiles on their faces. They dropped the two who the ground, who were exhausted after Melzargard playfully messing with them until they couldn't handle anymore. "I hope I did a good job taking care of them." Whispered the first head in a pitched laugh, the other heads agreeing unanimously. Rainbow caught sight of Melzargard and the princesses and blasted towards their direction, only to be stopped by Twilight's magic. "Tch- let me go! Let me kick their asses!" Rainbow pleaded as she struggled to move. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Rainbow!" AJ shouted. Melzargard chortled, each one of them, to mock Rainbow's attempt at attacking them. "Seems like a couple more want to be slayed." Commented a head. "Then let's bash them into paste!" Another shouted. "Good idea!" Melzargard's hand shapeshifter into a massive axe, swiping it horizontally. The many fodder warriors that were in his way were perfectly sliced through by Melzargard's axe-hand. "Learn to move." It bluntly stated, approaching the Main 6. Twilight formed a large magical dome around her and her friends as Melzargard's massive axe struck down at it, creating a crack in her shield. They began to bash it repeatedly, cracking it more until Twilight couldn't hold it up much longer, another swing thrown right down at her. Instinctively, she teleported everypony away as soon as she saw the axe, reappearing in the distance. Melzargard turned it's many heads towards them slowly. "Is this all you have to offer?" A few slow claps could be heard towards the left, catching their attention. "Good job, Melzargard; but I can handle it from here." Boros stood tall with the new recruits behind him, his arms crossed with pure confidence oozing from him. His eyes scanned over to the Main 6. "Greetings. I don't think we properly introduced." He raised his hand. "Let us exchange names before we battle" Boros approached them. "I lead the pirate band known,as Dark Matter, and am Dominator of the Universe. I am Boros." "I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." Twilight replied with a strong voice. "Twilight..." He repeated. "What do you want with Equestria?!" Rarity exclaimed. "What I want with Equestria? There exists a prophecy. Once, I traveled the universe, ravaging everything in sight. But I was too strong. Eventually, there were none left who could face me. I came to know the torment of utter, all-encompassing boredom. Then one day, a seer told me... on a faraway planet, a being exists my match, one who could rekindle my passion for battle. That was nearly twenty years ago. Have you any idea the distance I have traveled to get here? My men thought the prophecy was a ruse, made up to lure me away… but it's too late to turn back now. You must face me for the sake of your meaningless lives. Come. Give stimulation to my existence!" Twilight looked at her friends before glaring at Boros, becoming surrounded by a light. Boros simply speculated as he watched the six become surrounded by light, rising into the air. "Lord Boros, are you not-" Boros raised his hand to halt Melzargard. "Do not question me." A rainbow beam blasted into the sky, striking Boros dead on. He skidded slightly as he growled, resisting the endless amounts of power hitting him all at once. He eventually began to shout, his voice being heard all around. His armor began to crack... and crack... until it was shattered, a flash blinding everyone, causing the Main Six to revert back to normal. "This set of armor, used to seal in my immeasurable, irresistible power…" A glimpse of Boros could be seen, his head facing the ground as every muscle in his body tended up. "...has been broken." Immense power blasted from his body, shattering the ground into tiny pieces and forcing everybody to be pinned on the ground due to the immense pressure that seeped out of him, affecting everything for miles. After the destruction of his armor, Boros's appearance changed. His muscle mass increased, and his body grew spiky plates and his spine and the surrounding tissue became exposed, while his skin changed to a navy blue color with light blue markings that emitted energy. He also had an additional yellow eye under his chest which moved in sync with his original, now yellow eye and his hair was completely spiked up becoming slightly darker in color. "It is time!" Boros exclaimed. Every creature in the vicinity seemed to just stare in awe as they faced the all-powerful Boros. Even his own men and new recruits didn't have anything to say to this. Boros interrupted the moment by flickering seemingly instantly from his position, appearing right in front of Twilight and her friends with a heavy blow flying her way. Twilight had no time to react and was sent flying into the sky as a result, in unbearable pain as she landed on top of a destroyed building, coming in and out of consciousness. She soon stood back up, cowering slightly. Her nose bleed profusely, but she didn't care, her eyes firing daggers at Boros. She blasted forwards with a massive beam of energy that dwarfed the surrounding buildings. Rainbow quickly retrieved her friends and flashed out of the way and evacuated everypony as they possibly could as Boros would counter Twilight's blast with an energy blast of his own, exiting his chest. "Now to release the destructive energy held within me! Any normal creature hit by it would find even their bones vaporized!" Boros fed his own ego to raise his excitement as the two beams clashed with each other, an explosion booming from the two as a result, vaporizing everything for a good mile. Twilight flew down and planted her hooves into the ground as she panted heavily, facing Boros who had a few scratches, along with a sudden missing arm after the explosion struck him. "Behind you!" Boros suddenly said, throwing a quick jab at Twilight's face, sending her skidding. "It's impressive that you could survive even this long... but the outcome of this battle is clear. My species won the struggle to survive amidst the harsh environment of our home world. We possess the ultimate in regenerative abilities. I, in particular, have self-healing power, physical prowess and latent energy beyond your conception. A deep wound that would be fatal for you, heals itself on me in mere moments. By focusing all my energy on my destroyed arm, I can explosively speed up the healing process." His destroyed arm convulsed and twitched before a new limb near instantly replaced his destroyed one. "Good as new." He opened and closed his hand continuously. Twilight finally caught her breath, looking at Boros with intense eyes. "This isn't over just yet! I can feel the energy of all my friends passing through me! They won't give up on me! So I won't give up on this either until you're finished!" She charged at him, swiping her horn to act as a blade as magic surrounded her body. Boros sidestepped and seemed to be pleased at Twilight's advances. "I do envy your determination and will. I can see why you're this planet's warrior. But, there's a time and a place for it when facing unrealistic odds.." He soon grabbed a hold to her and kneed her in the chest, shattering her ribs. "Perhaps you need a wakeup call." "You can do it, Twilight!" A voice rang out, echoing in the distance. Boros turned towards the source. "We believe in you!" The Main Six chanted in support of their friend, alongside some others who were gathered with them. "Don't give up!" Another shouted her way. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of support coming her way. "It seems as though you've gained yourself a little fanbase. Death seems so incomprehensible that you simply can't bare the thought of it." Boros sighed. "I'll make sure theirs is quick."
Chapter FivePrincess Twilight and Lord Boros stood, facing each other in silence. Twilight was still shaken from Boros' simple yet power-packed attacks. The pain seared through her sore body, sweat bullets leaking from her body. She barely even kept her composure, and it hasn't even been twenty minutes yet. Yet, despite all odds, she stood her ground, not wanting to give in to this heartless alien cyclops! Out of every villain the entirety of Equestria has faced, it was this one that threatened everything with such confidence, it was terrifying to think about. Her friends, standing in the distance with hope in their eyes, expressed their own confidence towards Twilight as much as they could to encourage her, but they stopped their cheers and stared in silence. Their pride in Twilight was diminishing as reality came into the scene. She won't make it. Boros, on the other hand, hadn't moved since his last attack, his fists clenched. He stood tall, dominating Twilight with his size. The cocky cyclops rose his chin up, grinning from ear to ear. He had the clear advantage in this whole ordeal after all. He stretched his fingers out a bit. "You've got nothing else to give. I see your hopelessness. You might've lasted long enough to see my unleashed body, but you were too weak in truth." He let out a deep hum, pointing his palm at her, a light forming within it. "I'll remember you for your sacrifice to your planet, warrior." Before he could let his beam of energy loose, he was interrupted by a way too familiar voice in his head. "Lord Boros! I apologize for my rudeness, but I have grave news!" Boros slightly grunted to himself, clenching his fist and closing his large eye. Steam emitted from his hand. "What is it, Geryuganshoop?" Twilight winced and awaited her fate. She opened her eyes back up in curiosity, seeing Boros just stand there; talking to himself. She narrowed her eyebrows, raising her head. "There seems to be numerous other large civilizations on this planet other than... Ponies... and another princess all the way up to the north." Geryuganshoop reported, his voice echoing in Boros' head. "And you tell me this now? Tch, alright. How many soldiers are still in the reserves?" Boros demanded, his arms crossed as he shifted his weight. "If my numbers are correct... we have only 4,000 more, which barely even passes as 5% of our total servicemen." His voice weakened a bit. Boros shook his head in disappointment before looking at Twilight. "You know what? I've had a slight change of heart. You have ONE more chance to defend your planet with your all! You already know what happens if you can't, so don't make me repeat myself once again. Use my threats as encouragement and maybe you can really show me how to fight." Boros rose to the sky slowly, his arms still crossed while his feet dangled in the air. "Geryuganshoop, make yourself useful and order the rest of the reserves to make a move. It doesn't matter where, I just want it done. While your at it, bring the generals along too, that means yourself. Activate the ship's security system and place it on max, that way they don't try anything slick." "Yes, Lord Boros! Anything you say, Lord Boros! Geryuganshoop replied. And with that, the alien overlord vanished from their sights. Twilight let out a wheeze, her legs finally giving in on her. She laid on the ground and dozed off multiple times as the princesses and many of her friends rushed to her aid, worrying for her and her wellbeing more than anything else right now. "TWILIGHT!" Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and AJ shouted in union, helping their dear friend back up on her hooves. "Twi... are you alright?" Applejack asked worrisomely, a hoof on the back of Twilight's neck. "Y-yeah... I'm alright, I swear! I'm just exhausted... really, I was only scraped a bit..." She reassured, forcing a smile at her friends with an eye closed shut. "Well, you don't seem fine!" Rainbow protested, a genuine look of worry mixed with fear, confusion, and a flurry of many other emotions. Twilight let out a huff of air and looked at the ground, frowning. "I'm more worried about all of you! I don't want to see everything... DISAPPEAR! I don't know what I'd do without you guys... I don't... I don't want to let any of you down because I can't defend Equestria and defeat him!" She began to sob silently, tears flooding her cheeks as the river of emotions finally blew out. "Twilight..." A voice called out from beside her, drawing her attention. She moved her head slightly to only see a glimpse of Celestia. "No matter what, just know that I am proud of you. You made it this far with nothing but your tenacity and willingness to protect us all, and for that, we are all forever grateful, but you can't push yourself down like that... we know you can do this. You've faced so much. No matter how impossible it seems, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you and your friends will prevail." Her sweet, motherly voice calmed Twilight down. She looked up into her eyes and hugged her with a warm smile. "Thank you, Princess... I won't let you down! I won't let any creature down! We will do this together!" She proudly beamed, looking at her friends. She regained strength to stand on her own. "The fate of Equestria rests upon us!" "Don't push yourself too far, Darling. As much as we want to face that monster, you need to get some rest! We'll plan for you in the mean time." Rarity stated, ushering Twilight back to her crystal castle along with her friends. "Rest?! I can't rest! Who knows what he's doing out there now!" Twilight panicked, her breath speeding up. She was definitely more resilient now than she has ever been in her whole life, and she expressed that well, not wanting to waste a single second. Rarity sighed. "We aren't convincing you this time, are we?" "Nope!" Twilight answered almost instantly as she began to rush back to her castle. "I need to get to my library! There's got to be a book there somewhere!" The Main Six sighed, much louder this time, as they followed behind Twilight who was acting as if she had more energy in her than a small foal on their birthday. But hey, at least they know her wounds weren't much after all. Though, that might just be the only plus to come out of this giant façade. Hopes were held pretty damn high again with this last chance to defeat Boros and his underlings. ~ Speaking of the mad titan who got more impatient the longer they were on this wretched world, he was flying through the sky, his thoughts blank. He was headed North. He didn't know where, exactly, but he continued up north anyways until he found any sight of civilization anywhere. he then just remembered about those Equestrian Villains that he hired aboard, wondering where they were. He paused midair, looking around the flat lands and plains to see if they were nearby, and alas, they were also traveling up north in a group. Perhaps they were going to target the supposed fourth princess that lived in the Northern territory. He blasted down towards them with a flashy entrance and stuck his landing perfectly, a quick cloud of dust puffing out from his feet and dissipated in the air. "Well hello there, Mr. Boros! It's nice to see you again after your... squabble!" Cozy tried acting as innocent as can be with her rosy cheeks as she beamed a wide smile. Boros simply looked at each of them with a stoic, stone face. "I wouldn't call it a squabble, I wasn't arguing for twenty minutes straight with a wannabe princess. More of a quick, nonfriendly spar. It certainly put me in the mood, too bad she was weaker than I originally thought. That beam her and her friends casted on me felt so surreal to me, I hadn't taken that much damage in over a millennia. With that out of the way, what are you doing here?" "Oh, I saw a partial moment of the fight and I could already tell you crushed her! Bahahahahaha!" Tirek bellowed. "Yeah, it was... alright, but nothing a King such as I couldn't handle!" Sombra boasted, as usual, placed a hoof upon his chest in a regal manner. "Will you shut up about yourself already?!" Chrysalis shouted, ticked off a bit. "Anyways... we're here to go deal with those prissy crystal ponies and that ridiculous Cadence!" She hissed at the thought of the Crystal Empire and that princess again, getting flashbacks to when she was defeated. "Splendid, because that's where I am headed as well. I'm going to have so much fun once we're there, but don't worry, I'll make sure not to hog all of the fun. You deserve it too for joining forces with me." Boros began walking down the path to the Crystal Empire, the group of villains following right beside him. It was most certainly a long walk, but he had more than enough energy to spare. This is a perfect time to get to know each other at the same time! There's nothing more soothing than villains learning about each other in the pursuit of conquering the planet together.
Chapter SixIt was around an hour or two into the villains' journey. The sun began to set in the distance, making the hills it's grave as night began to settle and the Moon rose into it's place. Boros took notice, gazing at the sight of the stars popping out. He stopped his tracks along with the others. "Has it really been that long since I've made my entrance here?" Boros queried. "It shouldn't be too much longer." Tirek stated, continuing further. He shrugged to himself and kept up. "Usually I would have this planet done for by now, but I've taken things a bit more slowly. I've truly become desperate..." "I wasn't going to say anything about it, but I can't help but question how you obtained your strength." Chrysalis walked a bit closer towards Boros. "Is it hard to comprehend that I worked for it? I am centuries old, I can't just do nothing. I've spent enough of my life, trapped on my own planet with no thrill whatsoever. Of course, I still have yet to find that thrill, but at least I can act excited when I conquer these planets. It's something to do, isn't it? Ever since I dropped training due to my lack of progress, it became apparent I needed something new to fill in that gap, so I did what I could and started my own crew of space pirates, later morphing into the most feared being in the Universe." "Don't think of me as pure evil because I do what I do, it's just that it's all I have left to feel whole. Where I'm from, there's no such thing as mercy or passions. You conquer and fight because that's all you can do at the end of the day. I still hold true to those ideals, thus I conquer and conquer, either till a creature slays me with their mighty power or the Universe is under my palms." Boros finished, looking at her with a dull eye. "To answer your question, though, it was a long process of just fighting for my life until others had to fight for theirs when facing me." He let out a throaty chuckle. "Those were the days." "You're super different from us, aren't you?" Cozy butted herself into the conversation with a blunt question. "He's an alien, I think you're a lost here." Tirek pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes. "Aren't you all alien to each other anyways?" Boros' eye glanced over his shoulder. "...Good point." Boros looked in front of him again to finally spot what looked like the outskirts of the Crystal Empire. The dead giveaway being the fact that everything was... well, crystal. "Alright, folks, looks like we're here! My generals should be here at any moment, but in the meantime, why don't we make ourselves known?" He grinned at the group of villains. They each seemed to enjoy his words, laughing as usual like villains. They split up, either taking flight or straight up running in. Boros, though, decided to spectate first, curious of what they could do with their power. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor had already been warned of the impending dangers and prepared with what little time they had, collecting each one of their soldiers form the barracks to prepare for anything, no matter how tough it may be. Even with the preperation time, they were still left in the dark for what was to come. ~ Melzargard, Geryuganshoop, and Groribas, Boros' three Dark Matter Generals, showed their faces not long after the villains' recess started. A smile donned on Boros' face as he took notice. "Ah, my trusted friends. You're just in time. We've only just begun our coup d'état. Come, come! Join us!" The three exchanged looks before smiling back at their Lord. "Wait... did you say 'us'?" Geryuganshoop's smile faded a bit in curiosity. "Indeed! I have found ourselves new fresh meat to join our crew." Boros responded enthusiastically, turning back towards the Crystal Empire. The four seemed to be doing quite well together. They've ran the entire kingdom into near-anarchy and it's been what, half an hour? In any case, it looked like a complete trash bin, with the help of Sombra's crystal magic, Tirek's tyrannical strength and absorption ability, Chrysalis' love-draining magic, and Cozy's machiavellian spirit. Even Boros felt a bit of pride for them and their uniqueness. "I'll be sure to have you all meet each other after our fun is over." His legs bent a little, putting weight into them. "In the meantime, enjoy your field day!" Boros took off, shattering the ground below his feet with his reckless force. He flew through the sky and aimed to land directly in the center of the Crystal Empire, demolishing an unfortunate fountain. He stood up, his fists balled. He scanned the area of any targets. His eyes soon landed on what looked like a pony, but with slightly distinctive features compared to the ones in Canterlot. Their color palette was one thing, but their eyes were the most visible, which reminded him of crystals... fitting. He approached the shocked pony, every step louder than the last. His presence felt murderous. The pony was certainly trembling, not capable of moving at all. He just gawked in terror. "Now, now, young one, you have no need to look so mortified. The death I will lay upon you will be painless." Boros reassured the stud in a mocking tone. "...Well... as painless as a beating can be!" The pony's screams could be heard echoing the streets to the point where it was bloodcurdling, but cut out abruptly only a moment later. Boros wiped his hands and looked at the lifeless pony that laid before him with a stern face. "Well, you certainly didn't care for you life if you can't even put up a fight." He then lifted his head up, facing the tall Crystal Castle, the sweet, sweet sounds of despair filling his ears in the background. "Let's see how those rookies have been doing. " He thought, strolling through the rubble that now littered the streets.
