Chapter 7: Behind the scenes, where evil is afoot, part 1.

~~One hour after the C.M.C. clubhouse incident~~

UNKNOWN PART OF EQUESTRIA.

Ten ponies were staring at a crystal ball, none of them looking happy at all.

"I thought this plan was going to work, instead of the moon mage we got that weakling," A mare said angered.

"I can't believe this was a failure, Silver bolt you said that if we got the moon mage, we could use its power to kill the sisters and take this world for ourselves," a stallion said just as angered.

"Bitcoin, I said, we could get the moon mage, not we 100% would get it, this summoning magic has not been perfected yet," Silver bolt answered a bit annoyed.

"And besides how would we convince something so strong it makes Nightmaremoon look like an ant, we saw how it created a moon twice the size of our own," another mare pointed out.

"Don't remind me, I still have nightmares of that thing," Bitcoin said.

~~One Month Ago~~

The same ten ponies were staring at a mirror, it allowed them to stare into different worlds and this one had what they needed. On a cliff was a bipedal creature, it had claws like a dragon, but the tips of the digits were blunt, it was wearing some sort of strange silvery armor.

The creature had its eyes closed, it was facing an island that had a large blob of slime that had a white glow on it. Everything that came in contact with the thing was absorbed into the blob allowing it to grow in size as if the light was consuming everything it touched. Plants shriveled to dust, and animals that were unlucky to be caught by it died.

Once the creature opened its eyes everypony gasped out of shock. The iris and pupils were fused into one color, making it look like the moon, and the whites of its eyes were replaced with the starry night.

Its legs were different from every bipedal creature on Equis, But, it was not from Equis. The ponies saw as the creature put its claws together in front of its chest, they started to glow with a turquoise color. It got brighter and brighter, once it was blinding, the creature threw its claws out making a circle with them and yelling something in a deep masculine tone that was like the royal canterlot voice but more thundering.

"FORSE OF NATURE, PLANETARY DISASTER, 7 SEAL PRISON!"

Once that was said the island glowed the same as the creature's magic, it started to rise from the ocean with more chunks of the earth following. The large landmass was starting to form into a ball, trapping the blob creature. It didn't stop there, the other land chunks broke into smaller parts and formed into the growing mass.

After the mass was made large enough so the blob monster could not escape, the bipedal creature flew one of its claws into the sky. The mass following the command flew up so fast the sonic rain boom would be put to shame. Where it rests in the sky for the rest of time, as the greatest prison... the moon.

It was a sight that could be inspiring and fear-inducing, to see such power, even through the all-seeing mirror. It was enough to send the ponies into a nearly unconscious state of terror.

Not being able to take any more Silver bolt turned the mirror off.

But, unknown to everypony an extra guest was watching. It was Discord, he didn't feel like that power would make him faint, but, it did make him think that human was trouble.

"That is the same power Luna has, but, that human was able to master it farther than even Luna was able to. If these ponies get a hand on him, that could spell out disaster for Equestria. I would do something about this, but, Twilight and her friends should be able to take care of this, (plus the plot won't allow me to, and that would be a boring story)," Discord thought to himself.

~~Back To The Present~~

"We could try to convince it the sisters are tyrants, that tactic has worked in the past with other countries," Bitcoin pointed out.

"No, we need something else, if we want to try again we need to be ready this time," a mare said.

"Melody note, we will need to find a new base," Silver bolt stated.

"Why? We haven't been found out," Melody note pointed out.

"We have been, my spies, have told me the Princesses are acting unusual, Starlight is at the castle," Silver bolt said.

The ponies were looking around shocked.

"Do they know it was us?" Bitcoin asked concerned.

"At the moment, no, but we should be prepared if they do find out in the future. For now, we stay low, we don't need the eyes of Celestia ruining our plans, we make our way to Saddle Arabia and wait," Silver bolt answered.

"Who knows, we could even make that one we got before useful," Melody note said with an evil grin.

"What do you have in mind?" Bitcoin asked confused.

"Well, that pony was the same species as the one we wanted, even though the thing is weak, I found out its true strength lies in its blood. Harvest that, and we could get the moon mage this time," Melody note stated with a hint of bloodlust.

Bitcoin shivered at the thought of harvesting any creature's blood.

"Well, if that is all, let this meeting be over, go back we can't be caught," Silver bolt ordered.

The ponies left the room they were in, all except one, Silver bolt was waiting for there to be no one left. After confirming nopony was near, Silver bolt burst into green flame.

"Finally, I was getting tired of waiting for those stupid ponies to leave, it was angering to get that thing. (Chrysalis said as she thought of Anon), It will take longer to exact my revenge, but, I am a patient Queen, when we try again, we will get the moon mage. And I will have my revenge on Equestria," Queen Chrysalis said with pride.

The door opened and a pony walked in, Chrysalis was shocked at first, noticing the pony didn't notice her. The pony was a mare maid, she looked young, at least around her early-mid 20's. Chrysalis may have hated ponies, but, she could not lie, the mare did look good. The maid turned and saw Chrysalis, she was going to scream but, Chrysalis grabbed the mare's mouth with her magic, she lifted the mare in the air binding her.

Again Chrysalis might hate ponies, but, this mare looked really good, and tasty.

"Now, you know I feed off of love right?" Queen Chrysalis asked.

The mare nodded yes, her eyes started to tear up.

"Good, but, we changelings need physical food as well... And I haven't had anything to eat. And I can't let you live, so this kills two birds with one stone, or one pony and one problem," Queen Chrysalis said.

The mare knew what was going to happen next, she tried to get out of the grasp but was not strong enough. Chrysalis wasting no time quickly turned the mare's neck a full 180 degrees, the mare stopped moving, teleporting the body away Chrysalis turned back into Silver bolt.

"With food taken care of, I can focus on getting that pony, and use its blood for the next time," Queen Chrysalis thought with an evil smile.

Walking out, she made her way to her next goal, in ponyville.

CANTERLOT CASTLE.

"Now, Starlight we need you to stay here until we get a lead on our mysterious enemy," Celestia ordered.

"Yes Princess," Starlight said.

"Sister, does thow think we should use that?" Luna questioned.

"No Luna, you know how dangerous it is," Celestia answered a bit concerned.

"What are you two talking about?" Starlight asked confused.

The sisters looked at each other not saying a word. even though they didn't say anything they both knew what the other was thinking.

"Well, since we did ask you to help, it would seem the best to show you," Celestia answered.

With her magic, Celestia teleported the group into a large cave, under the mountain. Luna used her magic to light torches on the walls, Starlight was getting used to the sudden changes of light levels. But after adjusting she saw a large globe of Equis floating in the middle of the large cave, there were replicas of the sun and the moon over the globe.

"This Starlight is how we really control the sun and moon," Celestia announced.

Starlight was shocked at the scale of this artifact, she turned to Celestia with a shocked look.

"Yes, after the sun and moon stopped moving on their own, we looked for what caused it, my sister and I found this. After using our magic on it, we found we had natural control over the sun and moon," Luna added.

"We used it once to find Tirek, but, as a result, it formed the badlands stripping all life from there," Celestia said with guilt.

"So, it is the last result thing?" Starlight asked interested.

"Yes, it is, that is why we won't use it unless it was utmost needed," Celestia answered.

"But, sister what if our enemy does that again and summons something truly dangerous?" Luna asked concerned.

"I know Lulu, I want to find them just as much as you, but, when we used it the last time, 1,000 ponies lost their lives. Not only grown ponies, but foals, and some newborns," Celestia stated saddened.

Starlight got that this was truly deadly this artifact was. Celestia teleported the group back to the throne room.

"Alright sister, you make a point, we-I won't use it," Luna said.

"Thank you, Luna, really thank you," Celestia replied.

"So, what will we do now?" Starlight asked.

"For now, we plan," Celestia said.
