The End Wars Episode I: The Fall of Friendshipby Staphylococcus AureusChaptersChapter I: PrologueChapter II: Surge TenebarumChapter III: Fall of HarmonyChapter IV: Ortus TenebrusChapter I: PrologueThe Void. Absence of everything and nothing, life and death, being and not-being, existing and not existing. No being mortal or immortal is able to make it here before the concept of them is wiped out and never known, Except for two. King Rayden, and the sole occupant, King Xragonumaliniumus, the Gitans of the Super Realm. Legends passed by the Eldest of Elders tells of a conflict that was far more destructive than any caused by Gods or Angels. In the eon 575 |⨀|^Ω BEZ, the two Kings fought over for control of the Super Realm. The war was falling in favor of Xragon, but at the Battle of Xenon Pass, King Rayden used all his power and smote his brother, banishing him to The Void, where he would stay until a great unknown event sets him free. That event would be the crowning of Princess Twilight as ruler of all Equestria. The shockwaves caused by the great ceremonies emanate through out the Super Realm and are enough to shatter The Void’s restraint on King Xragon, setting him free. The freeing of Xragon sends ripples all over the Super Realm, and causes a great dread to fall on everyone and everything, for they know what has transpired and what it means for every one in the Super Realm. In Equestria, the human world, and all the Super Realm, the great dread passed, and all went on with no one suspecting anything. However at the edge of the Super Realm, the darkness of Xragon reenter's the super realm and makes his way to the human version of Equestria to begin conquering the Super Realm. "Uuuugh! How much longer is it going to be?" Rainbow Dash asked in an impatient tone while pacing back and forth. "I am getting bored here." "Just be patient hon’." Applejack said while pushing her cowboy hat up on her head. "I reckon Princess Twilight’s just getting her final arrangements in order." She continued while chewing on a piece of hay. Suddenly the portal began to glow and sparkle, and from one of the flat faces of the statue base, Princess Twilight came flying out "YAAAAAHHHH!" She screamed as she came flying out of the portal, before landing with a big "THUD!". Princess Twilight stood up and dusted her self off "Ugh! I will never get used to that will I?" She asked herself before dusting herself off. Before she could even think, she was embraced in a group hug by her friends and dopleganger twin, and barraged by voices from her friends. But it was Sunset's comment that grabbed her attention. "Dang Princess, since when did you become this tall?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "And this beautiful?!" Rarity added. Princess Twilight looked down and noticed noticed that the clothes that she normaly would be wearing when she exited the portal were different. Her light blue shirt, pink bow-tie, purple skirt, pink leg warmers and purple and black boots were replaced with a long bell sleeved sparkley purple top and long wavy skirt of the same color with her cutie mark on the front right of the skirt. Her boots, replaced with low rise purple and pink heels. Her hair, which was sparkling and had an additional stripe of purple, was bunned up in a perfect sphere and pinned with a golden hair pin with the six-pointed star of Twilight's cutie mark, with the rest flowing like her mane back home. She also noticed that she stood 6 inches taller than her friends, "Oh wow, I am taller and more beautiful." Princess Twilight said to her self. "You must tell us every thing." Rarity said still entranced with the Princess' beauty. "Tell us on the way to my place." Sunset said, pulling out the keys to her 1969 Ford Stallion** convertable. "Ok I will." Princess Twilight said, heading to Sunset's car. During the drive, the Princess tells of the near complete eradication of magic from a little Pegasus foal named Cozy Glow. And then giving the news of Princess Celestia and Luna's retirement, and Twilight's ascension to the throne as the ruler of all Equestria, then telling of Discord disguising himself as the long since banished Grogar and, in an ill-concieved and misguided attempt to boost Twilight's confidence, creates a syndicate with Crystalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow as a great challenge for the Mane 6, and the great attempt at defeating the trio and permanently encasing them in stone. "...and so since my reign began there has been no darkness or foes in Equestria for 25 moons." Princess Twilight concluded. Sunset and Twilight Sparkle remained silent, unable to speak due to their amazement. Sunset finally broke the silence. "So who did you leave in charge of Equestria while you were away?" she asked. "Oh Spike and my friends from equestria are handling everything for me. I trust them completely." Princess Twilight said. The trio pulled up to Sunset's humble little condo located only a few blocks from the school, with the other girls, in Rarity's car, pulling up behind them. "OOOHH! This is going to be the best. Slumber Party! EVER!!!!" Pinkey exclaimed while bouncing to Sunset's front door. The girls had a fun evening of games, stories and watching Lord of the Rings. By 12:00 AM, all the girls were fast asleep. Outside, it was a silent cool clear night with a bright full moon. However, no one would notice the moon take on a deep vivid blood red color. The long forgotten sign that signify's Xragon's imminent arrival. By 2:50 AM, the moon developed a black 'X' on it, still it was not noticed or under stood. By 3:00 AM however, a black mass, blacker than the blackest black hole, zoomed into the atmosphere and slammed into the forest not far from Camp Everfree. Instantly, every living thing in a 2 mile radius around the impact, died, revealing a circular pit of sentiant ooze. This ooze extends appendages outward killing more things and allowing for more growth and strengthening. During this, a deep demonicly twisted chuckle echo's through out the forest, originating from the pit of black ooze. Author's Note This chapter gives some background and will help give an understanding to my mythos. An eon is a Pangeona14 (Pangean Home-world) year; 1 Eon = 5.725 Duodecillion of our own years. The Current eon is 1075 AEZ (After Eon Zero), Story Eon is 1430 AEZ |⨀|= Absolute Terminus Ω = Absolute Infinity *-I don’t know the true name of the city so I made up a name. **-Basically a Mustang, I renamed it to sound more powerful. At the time of this story, Sunset's involvment in stopping magical anomalies in the human world has resulted in her being paid a Royal's Ransom by all the gov'ts of the human world. In total she has amassed $2.75 Trillion dollars in rewards from saving many human nations from magical perils, rivaling even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's Net worth, or even the combined networth of all equestria's combined economies. Yet even with all this money Sunset lives a very modest life style.

Comming through!" Dr. Twilight Sparkle runs through the halls of Everton University trying to get to her students after being in a meeting with the head principal of the University concerning her promotion to Dean. Twilight's dealings and studies in Equestrian magic has earned her a PhD in the study, and because of her outstanding research, she was being promoted to Dean of the Everton School of Magic. After finally reaching her door, she stops and catches her breath before turning the knob. "Morning class! Sorry I'm laaAAHHH!!" She suddenly found her self looking into a pink void causing her to nearly fall in. "HA HA HA HA!!! You really thought I was gone? That I had ceased to exist?" The voice said. Twilight reconized the voice, and realised it was much more demonic sounding than it used to be. "You really are just a joke. You and your...PITIFUL LITTLE TRINKETS!!" the voice continued with a more venomous tone. Suddenly the world started to deconstruct, revealing that this was not the real world. Twilight was terrified, but she stood her ground beleveing that she could use the magic of friendship to banish the she demon again. Summoning enough courage, Twilight called the demon out, "MIDNIGHT SPARKLE! STOP HIDING IN THE SHADOWS LIKE A FUCKING COWARD AND FACE ME!" she yelled. Everything went silent. The pink hue became a blood peircing, demonic vivid red. The ambient temprature began to become hot. At this moment all of the courage Twilight had, evaporated. She twisted, and turned trying to figure out what was happening. "Wh-What's happening?" Twilight asked. Two Eyes appeared in front of Twilight, however unlike the light teal flame rimmed, Teal and Pink eyes. They were Black with red glowing red slit pupils with black fire rimming the eyes. "YOUR DUE PUNISHMENT! HA HA HA HA HA!" The demon cackled before fully forming. The demon was much more horrifying in appearence. Her skin was a maroon color, hair was now black with red, maroon, and a darker maroon stripes, there were 4 black angled horns on the sides of her head, the horn on her forehead was also pitch black. Her teeth were all razor sharp canines with two of them being much longer, she also had 2 more eyes on her forehead, making 4 total eyes. The wings were now true demon wings, with a red line in them and many holes through out. Hands now had rasor sharp claws, and her dress was an entire mass of darkness that took the form of a dress. The demon was about to kill Twilight but suddenly it looked like it was hearing a voice telling it something."Oh Ok I will.", the demon turned to Twilight, "I would have killed you right now, but his infernal darkness has ordered me to let you go and to send a message to your...acquaintances. Tell them, "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back and he will destroy this pathetic world."" The extra demonic Midnight Sparkle then attacked Twilight, causing her to wake up screaming. The other girls all charged into the room, "Twilight whats wrong?!" Sunset shimmer asked. The former shadow bolt's skin was pale and clammy, she could only speak in sounds before breaking down in tears. "Come on y'all, let's give her some time to calm down." Applejack said, before guiding the girls out of the room, leaving Twilight to her thoughts and feelings. However, one phrase kept echoing through her mind "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back and he will destroy this pathetic world!" Twilight ruminated over this. "What did the demon mean? Who is this King Xragon? What does he want with us?" She thought to herself. Twilight decided to bring this to her friends and see what they have to say. Back in the Everfree Forest, the black mass has expanded its size and has killed off 9600 acres of trees and wildlife, and caused the area to smell of sulfur and rotting flesh. The smell reaches Camp Everfree, only 1/2 a mile from the edge of the decay, where Gloriosa Daisy is relaxing and taking in the beautiful morning. Until the smell reaches her nose, nearly causing her to lose her stomach. "What is that awflul smell?" she asks herself while pinching her nose. Looking up Gloriosa notices that a putrid green gas is flowing over the ground killing off the grass and flowers. And sees that it is flowing out of the forest. With curiosity overcoming her disgust, she takes a bandana, covers it in plesent smelling oils and covers her face with it. She then heads into the forest, passing by dead or dying plants, putrifying corpses surrounded by dead flys that also sucame to the odorous fumes. Gloriosa's stomach kept knotting up, but she kept going until she made it to a clearing that she realized was not originaly there. Then, she saw the source of the smell, a black mass growing and devouring everything, she could not wrap her mind around what this thing was. As soon as Gloriosa entered the clearing, the dark mass began to extend tendril's towards her. Gloriosa, being distracted by all the decay, didn't see the tendril until it was nearly a foot from her ankle. At which point, she cryed out and started running, soon, more and more tendrils shot towards her, missing her by inches. Gloriosa makes it into the forest, but the thing keeps chasing her. She dodges rocks, downed trees, putrid corpses, and attacks from the black thing. As Gloriosa neared the camp, she called out to her brother "TIMBER SPRUCE! TIMBER SPRUCE! Gloriosa's younger brother comes out of their personal cabin to see what the commotion was about, "Gloriosa! What's wrong?" Timber asked. Pulling the bandana off her face, she excitedly runs for their truck. "HURRY GET IN THE TRUCK!! IT'S COMING!!" Gloriosa screams. Before Timber Spruce could ask Gloriosa any questions, a black tendril shoots out from the forest and strikes the ground frighteningly close to Timber. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!" Timber screams. "I DON'T KNOW" Gloriosa replyed. "We need to get Sunset Shimmer and her friends! They'll know what's going on!" The two get into Timber's truck and speed down towards Sunset Shimmer's place, while the black tendrils recede back into the forest while a demonic low chuckle echos through the trees. At Sunset's place Twilight Sparkle was telling her friends everything about her dream "...right as she was going to kill me, it seemed as if something was talking to her and when she turned back to me she said, 'Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back, and he will destroy this pathetic world!' Princess, do you know any thing about this King Xragon?" The equestrian princess looked at her human counterpart. "I have no idea who he is. But, we need not worry, because the magic of friendship will dispell him if he arises." The Princess said. Twilight pushed a lock of hair out of her face, "I hope so. He sounds more of a threat than some of the magic crazed psyco humans that we have to face most of the time. The sound of tires screeching to a stop outside grabbed the attention of everyone. Immediatly the girls heard a hysterical voice calling them while banging on the front door, "GIRLS! GIRLS! WE NEED YOU! THERE IS A BLACK MASS KILLING EVERYTHING IN THE FOREST NEAR OUR CAMP!" Sunset opened the door, "What's with all the comotion?" Sunset asked The hysterical Gloriosa grabs Sunset's wrist and yanks her to the truck. "No time! We'll tell you everything on the way!" Timber speeds towards the Everfree Forest, as fast as he can. "So let me get this straight. You were attacked by some black mass when you followed a vile odour into a dead clearing?" Sunset asked. Gloriosa silently nodded her head, still terrified by what she's been through. "Well let's just get there, and hope we don't run into trouble on the way." Sunset said in reply. However, as if karma was listening, a huge dead bird slammed into the windshield causing it to partialy shatter. This causes Rarity to scream, Fluttershy to curl up and cry, and Timber Spruce to slam on the brakes, "Is every one ok?" asked Timber Spruce. Everyone nodded, but soon another "thud" occured, then another and another. Timber got out of his truck and saw a huge "rainfall" of birds, and farther down, trees were collapsing under their own weight. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" Timber cursed. Gloriosa then started screaming for Timber to get in, which he does and they continue to the camp. But, even before thye get to the camp entrance, they noticed that the sterilized enviorment had enveloped the whole camp ground, and now was extending across the road. Turning into the camp gates, they notice that the black "lake" had grown to 10 times its origenal size, some of the cabins were already sinking into the sludge. Princess Twilight, who had sat in the back seat, got out of the truck and walked towards the pulsating mass, stopping a foot from it. After some deep thought, she called her friends "Ok girls, so here's the situation. This black stuff is growing, and will soon absorb Canterlot City if we don't act fast. So here is the plan: Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy will take to the skys, I want you to scout for any potental rapid growth, and if any homes are in the path, and rescue those who are in danger." "On it!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting to the Princess, "The rest of us will try to confine it back into the crater so we can zap it with the Elements. Everyone understand their assignments?" Princess Twilight concluded. Her friends all said yes. "Alright 'Friendship is Magic' on three!" The girls all gathered in a circle and put their hands in the middle: "1!" "2!" "3!" "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" The girls yelled in unison. They immediately got to work and managed to not run into any setbacks, though the black substance did try to attack the girls, the girls were unharmed. Finally after 2 hours, the mass had been pushed back into its crater. "Ok now to dispell this thing." The girls all held hands, "Every one ready?" Everyone nodded, prompting Princess Twilight to start the Elements of Harmony spell. The girls pendents began levitating up and spun around each other until they were pointed at the mass with Twilight Sparkle's in the middle. The girls all opened their eyes causing the 6 of the pendents to shoot their magic into Twilight's resulting in an enormous rainbow laser blasting into the mass. Finally, Princess Twilight climaxed the spell resulting in a blinding light to envelop everything. The girls' eyes readjusted to the normal light. "Did we do it?" Fluttershy asked. Looking to the location of the crater, the girls all saw that it was empty. They did it. Until Fluttershy looked up, causing her to scream. The other girls, Gloriosa and Tember, all looked up and saw that the black mass had become a sphere with several slit pupiled red eyes in it. "HA HA HA HA!! Thank you for reigniting my powers!" it said. Fluttershy fainted. The others looked on in horror and fear. Princess Twilight was utterly stunned at how this being could have been able to use the magic of friendship to repower its self. The only word that the princess muttered was a whispered "How?" The eye was able to hear the Princess' whisper, "How? I'll tell you how. I am no ordinary being of darkness! I AM the darkness! I am the fears you fear, I am the villains you fight, the monsters you battle, I AM THE KING OF IT ALL! I'm the reason you became evil Sunset Shimmer, I'm the reason that you turned into Midnight Sparkle Twilight.! The girls were silent. "The Dazzlings, Gloriosa Daisy, Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage, Vignette Valencia, Principal Cinch and the PostCrush duo! I Corrupted them and used them knowing that you would use your magic of friendship, and thus, from The Void, I absorbed your magic. Now that I am free, I will show you, WHO I AM!!" The black sphere was then encased in a black aura that rose up. The sky darkened and the winds picked up, the world's ambiant lighting turned red. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Twilight asked. "I DON'T KNOW!" Princess Twilight responded. Black lightning started striking every where, jets of black shot out of the sphere, thunder roared, and with a massive loud explosion the transformation was complete. The girls and Timber Spruce looked in utter horror at the being that stood before them. It stood far taller than any being they had ever faced, the form was hourglass shaped, his shoulders were horns, his head had several eyes with vivid red scleras and slit pupils. 6 angled black horns stick out of the sides of its head, 3 on one side, 3 on the other. And over the demon's head, a crown of maroon floated. It was far more fear inducing than anything Equestria or the Human World had ever seen. "HA HA HA HA!! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!!" the demon bellowed, "NOW BEAR WITTNESS TO THE DARKNESS OF EMPEROR KING XRAGON!!!. King Xragon then shot off towards the city to begin his second reign of utter horror. Chapter III: Fall of HarmonyIn the city, the citizens are all going about their bussiness. The bankers manage money, mechanics fixing mechanical problems, engineers calculate and design structures, and so on. Then the world goes dark. A ball of black eclipsed the sun, and the corona of the sun becomes a red fire. A red slited eye opens and looks at the people below. "MY SLAVES! I HAVE RETURNED!" King Xragon said with his demonic voice. "AND IT IS ALL THANKS TO THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY THAT I AM FULLY POWERFUL AGAIN! NOW BEAR WITTNESS TO YOUR END!" Meanwhile, the 8 girls, Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy speed down CR(Canterlot Road)755 as fast as the truck's engine can go. "COME ON!! GO FASTER!!!" Rainbow Dash shouts. "I'M TRYING! This thing isn't built to be fast for your information!" Timber Spruce responded. "Besides I'm going 102 miles per hour!" Immediatly after passing the Canterlot City city limits sign, a trumendous tremor began making it hard for Tember Spruce to control the vehicle. Timber began to break, but as he did, another jolt jerked the truck sideways causing it to roll."Everyone bail!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Sunset Shimmer grabbed a hold of a petrified Fluttershy and jumped from the rolling truck, the Twilights held onto each other. The last one to jump was Timber who had only 2 seconds to spare as the truck hit a rock propelling it into a large tree causing the truck to explode on impact. Everyone looked in horror at the burning ball of metal. Rainbow Dash in overwealming stress finally screamed in rage "AAAAAHG!!! That is just great! JUST FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!! NOW WE HAVE NO FUCKING WAY TO GET TO THE CITY QUICKLY!! CAN THIS DAY GET ANY FUCKING WORSE!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted. As if on queue, a huge wall of fire erupted, outlining the city limits, and cutting off a means of escape by road or air. Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash with a mix of disappointment, rage, and hatered. Rainbow Dash returned with the "I didn't do anything" smile. Sunset Shimmer slapped Rainbow in the back of the head so forcefully that the latter thought her teeth were going to come out. "How many times do we have to tell you, DO NOT SAY THAT PHRASE!!" "Sorry." Rainbow Dash said, rubbing the back of her head where Sunset Shimmer slapped her. "Soooo...What now?" Rainbow asked. "We need to find another way to get into town. Any ideas?" The Princess asked. Everyone started thinking before Pinkie Pie excitedly jumping "OH! OH! I KNOW!" Pinkie Shouted. "Why don't we use our powers and fly to the city!" Pinkie suggested. Everyone agreed it was a good idea. What else could they do anyway, no one was driving on the roads as there was no way out of the city, and it would take several hours to get to town on foot. "All right, lets do this." Princess Twilight said. The 8 girls transformed into their ponified forms. "Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy go on ahead and keep an eye on the demon." Princess Twilight ordered. "On it!" Rainbow Dash replied before rocketing off with Fluttershy trailing behind. Princess Twilight then had Rarity make a raft out of the crystals that she can summon, this was to be used for Pinkie Pie, AJ, Rarity, Gloriosa and Timber Spruce as the two Twilights magically carry them over to town. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash is over the Canterlot City, and what she sees, horrifies her and causes her stomach to twist and knot up. People are running for their lives in vain attempts to hide from the demon, many dead bodies litter the ground, several with their entrails strewn all about. However, some of Xragon's victims were dealt the cruelest form of 'worse than death' fates ever seen, a few were seen with thier eyes pulled out of their sockets and skewered into the person's head, they were also blood eagled and had their beating hearts dangling around their necks by extended blood vessels, the bones in some were reconfigured as well, others were merged, mutilated and desicrated so viciously that they didn't even look human anymore. But the part that nearly caused Rainbow Dash to loose her breakfast was that some people had been turned inside out. Still breathing, still alive, but in so much pain that death would be their escape. All this horror and pain happening while King Xragon cuts open a screaming girl from Crystal Prep, it was Sugarcoat. "Now maybe I should put your brain in your chest cavity, put an eye in your belly button, or maybe make a bow out of your intestines and wings out of your ribs!" Sugarcoat was in immense pain from the black demon cutting her torso open, she was in so much pain that she could not scream anymore, but her face of agony portrayed the pain she was in. She was straped onto the roof of the Crystal Prep Acadamy, which made it easier for Xragon to do his..."experiments". Sugarcoat was beginning to black out before seeing a streak of rainbow color zip by and pick her up so fast that the demon didn't even know that his "test subject" was gone. As this happened the others arrived to aid Rainbow Dash. As the girls got closer to King Xragon, Twilight suddeny began having flash visions of corrupted Midnight Sparkle, all while hearing a paraphrased version of the warning from earlier, "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon WILL destroy this pathetic world!" The diamond raft landed near the portal in front of Canterlot High. The school was on fire, but that was not what had the girls' attention. It was the number of evicerated corpses and organs strewn all over the courtyard. Princess Twilight's stomach flipped and churned, but she fought the nausea down. Princess Twilight began scheming a way to defeat the demon but was snapped out of her thoughts when a loud roaring voice spoke, "WHERE IS MY TEST SUBJECT?!" King Xragon roared enraged. Rainbow Dash zoomed around the demon before stopping in front of his face. Rainbow had a cocky expression on her face, "I don't know your highness." Rainbow Dash said before flipping her middle finger at the demon as she rainboomed away. King Xragon shot after Rainbow Dash, all the while, morphing into his humanoid form. Using his omnisensory perception, Xragon tracked Rainbow Dash, and with a snap of his fingers, Rainbow's wings were telekineticly ripped off her back, causing her to scream in agony from the pain of her wings being removed, and in fear as she rocketed towards the ground at one and a half times the speed of sound. Xragon bellowed a laugh as the rainbow streak zoomed towards the ground. Fortunatly Princess Twilight telekineticly stopped her the decent with only 1 foot to spare, then teleported to her friends. The girls all sighed in relief. The Princess turned to her friends, "We need to end this. NOW!" Before they could act ,the black demon grabbed the girls and lifted them to his face. His eyes bore and impaled the girls souls. "AND HOW PRAY TELL DO YOU PLAN TO DO THAT?!" King Xragon asked. "I AM NOT OF YOUR WORLDS! I AM NOT A MANIFESTATION OF DARK EQUESTRIAN MAGIC! I AM THE DARKNESS! I AM THE CONCEPT OF EVIL! HOW DO YOU PLAN TO DEFEAT A CONCEPT?" Xragon continued, his voice sapping the girls of courage. Princess Twilight let her head drop realizing that King Xragon has a point, "I...don't know.", she said with a hint of defeat in her voice. "OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW!!" Xragon spat, "All you think is that the Magic Of Friendship is the answer to all your problems. Well guess what! IT DOES NOT!" Princess Twilight looked at her friends, a spark of hope ignited inside her. "You're wrong Xragon! Friendship is the most powerful force out there." Princess Twilight stood in a defiant stance. "You think you're so powerful?! You're just another inconvenience to us!" Princess Twilight's friends all stood up behind her. "No matter how powerful you say you are Xragon, you can not hope to destroy the elements of Honesty! Generosity! Laughter! Kindess! Loyalty! Empathy! And Magic!" As Princess Twilight called out each element all her friends including her and her doppleganger started glowing and changing into their pony/human hybrids. King Xragon looked at the glowing girls as they began to rise up. "You maybe powerful, but you can not beat the most potent power of all...THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!!!" A magical rainbow shot out of the glowing orb towards Xragon's chest. However, King Xragon was prepared for this as he shot a helix of darkness that surrounded the rainbow laser. And With one jesture from his fingers, the black helix constricted the rainbow. Contorting it into impossible angles and forms. Xragon utters a cackle as the darkness slowly creeps towards the girls as they use every ounce of magic to slow the advancing black beam. However, all their attempts are for naught. The black beam consumes all the rainbow and turns it black before slamming into the glowing orb. The resulting explosion blasts the girls all over the place. The settleing dust reveals a group of 8 defeated girls all hurt but not severely. The first to sit up was Sunset Shimmer, she dusts her self off before noticing that the pendent on her neck had turned into a black silhouette in the shape of the pendent. Looking around her heart sank as she noticed that all the pendents are like this. It took Sunset shimmer a bit to try and figure out what was going on, but it soon hit her like a full speed freight train, the elements of harmony had been sapped dry and are now voids. Sunset held the black silhouette in her hands "No. No No No No NO! Please! It can't end this way!" "Oh but it can! And It IS!!!!" King Xragon hissed. "YOU HAVE RELIED ON THOSE TRINKETS FOR FAR TO LONG!" Tears formed in Sunset's eyes. Suddenly she heard a demonic chuckle in her head. "Oh Sunset?" The voice called in a seductive way. "Did you miss me?" If Sunset's heart was in her feet before, it was now in the core of the Earth. "HOW ABOUT ME?" asked a corrupted voice from behind. Sunset turned to see a Maroon colored Midnight Sparkle levitating over the two Twilights. The demoness' black eyes showing a look of blood lust. Next to Midnight Sparkle was Sunset Shimmer's demon form, Solara Tenebrara Negra. Sunset sat paralysed in fear. "Awww! What's the matter? Are you scared? Don't you miss your old friend?" Solara asked in a baby voice. Sunset couldn't speak. "I...UH...HOW...Bu...Wha...Can't..." She uttered. Solara dropped the act, her face shifted to one of disappointment. "You obviously don't miss me. How unsuprising. I should have known you would have just ditched me for that whole Friendship bullshit when that bitch Princess Twilight stopped us!" Solara became enraged as she kept speaking. Pinkie Pie awoke next. But instead of her eyes opening to a peaceful world. Solara and Midnight Sparkle were her veiw. Startled, Pinkie jumped back and started crabwalking backwards as the two blood lust filled demonesses approached the pink girl. Midnight Sparkle grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. "You have to be the single most annoying thing in the universe. Always wanting to party. Invading personal spaces. And you never leave people alone when they want to be alone!" Midnight screamed as she thrusted her hand towards Pinkie Pie's chest. "Oh God PLEASE NO!!" Pinkie screamed as her hair deflated and became dark gray in color. "Midnight! Solara!" King Xragon yelled out, causing Midnight's hands to stop half an inch from Pinkie's chest. "I need her alive and not terribly injured. I want their minds destroyed first. I want them to witness the destruction of Princess Twilight's home world. I want her to feel helpless as she watches all her friends get slaughtered, gutted, evicerated, disemboweled, and gored. I want her to see Canterlot crumble, the Crystal Empire vanish permanently. I want her ALIVE! For now. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!!" Xragon says with a venomous tone. The two demonesses bow to King Xragon. "Yes your darkness!" The rest of the girls awaken to hear King Xragon tell Midnight and Solara to tie up Princess Twilight and her friends and send them through the portal. After all is done, Xragon sends the she-demons through while leaving a parting gift of a 5 Gt antimatter bomb which detonates as King Xragon enters the portal, destroying it for good. The last thing heard is a demonic laugh echoing through out the carnege. Chapter IV: Ortus TenebrusSomething has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter I: PrologueThe Void. Absence of everything and nothing, life and death, being and not-being, existing and not existing. No being mortal or immortal is able to make it here before the concept of them is wiped out and never known, Except for two. King Rayden, and the sole occupant, King Xragonumaliniumus, the Gitans of the Super Realm. Legends passed by the Eldest of Elders tells of a conflict that was far more destructive than any caused by Gods or Angels. In the eon 575 |⨀|^Ω BEZ, the two Kings fought over for control of the Super Realm. The war was falling in favor of Xragon, but at the Battle of Xenon Pass, King Rayden used all his power and smote his brother, banishing him to The Void, where he would stay until a great unknown event sets him free. That event would be the crowning of Princess Twilight as ruler of all Equestria. The shockwaves caused by the great ceremonies emanate through out the Super Realm and are enough to shatter The Void’s restraint on King Xragon, setting him free. The freeing of Xragon sends ripples all over the Super Realm, and causes a great dread to fall on everyone and everything, for they know what has transpired and what it means for every one in the Super Realm. In Equestria, the human world, and all the Super Realm, the great dread passed, and all went on with no one suspecting anything. However at the edge of the Super Realm, the darkness of Xragon reenter's the super realm and makes his way to the human version of Equestria to begin conquering the Super Realm. "Uuuugh! How much longer is it going to be?" Rainbow Dash asked in an impatient tone while pacing back and forth. "I am getting bored here." "Just be patient hon’." Applejack said while pushing her cowboy hat up on her head. "I reckon Princess Twilight’s just getting her final arrangements in order." She continued while chewing on a piece of hay. Suddenly the portal began to glow and sparkle, and from one of the flat faces of the statue base, Princess Twilight came flying out "YAAAAAHHHH!" She screamed as she came flying out of the portal, before landing with a big "THUD!". Princess Twilight stood up and dusted her self off "Ugh! I will never get used to that will I?" She asked herself before dusting herself off. Before she could even think, she was embraced in a group hug by her friends and dopleganger twin, and barraged by voices from her friends. But it was Sunset's comment that grabbed her attention. "Dang Princess, since when did you become this tall?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "And this beautiful?!" Rarity added. Princess Twilight looked down and noticed noticed that the clothes that she normaly would be wearing when she exited the portal were different. Her light blue shirt, pink bow-tie, purple skirt, pink leg warmers and purple and black boots were replaced with a long bell sleeved sparkley purple top and long wavy skirt of the same color with her cutie mark on the front right of the skirt. Her boots, replaced with low rise purple and pink heels. Her hair, which was sparkling and had an additional stripe of purple, was bunned up in a perfect sphere and pinned with a golden hair pin with the six-pointed star of Twilight's cutie mark, with the rest flowing like her mane back home. She also noticed that she stood 6 inches taller than her friends, "Oh wow, I am taller and more beautiful." Princess Twilight said to her self. "You must tell us every thing." Rarity said still entranced with the Princess' beauty. "Tell us on the way to my place." Sunset said, pulling out the keys to her 1969 Ford Stallion** convertable. "Ok I will." Princess Twilight said, heading to Sunset's car. During the drive, the Princess tells of the near complete eradication of magic from a little Pegasus foal named Cozy Glow. And then giving the news of Princess Celestia and Luna's retirement, and Twilight's ascension to the throne as the ruler of all Equestria, then telling of Discord disguising himself as the long since banished Grogar and, in an ill-concieved and misguided attempt to boost Twilight's confidence, creates a syndicate with Crystalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow as a great challenge for the Mane 6, and the great attempt at defeating the trio and permanently encasing them in stone. "...and so since my reign began there has been no darkness or foes in Equestria for 25 moons." Princess Twilight concluded. Sunset and Twilight Sparkle remained silent, unable to speak due to their amazement. Sunset finally broke the silence. "So who did you leave in charge of Equestria while you were away?" she asked. "Oh Spike and my friends from equestria are handling everything for me. I trust them completely." Princess Twilight said. The trio pulled up to Sunset's humble little condo located only a few blocks from the school, with the other girls, in Rarity's car, pulling up behind them. "OOOHH! This is going to be the best. Slumber Party! EVER!!!!" Pinkey exclaimed while bouncing to Sunset's front door. The girls had a fun evening of games, stories and watching Lord of the Rings. By 12:00 AM, all the girls were fast asleep. Outside, it was a silent cool clear night with a bright full moon. However, no one would notice the moon take on a deep vivid blood red color. The long forgotten sign that signify's Xragon's imminent arrival. By 2:50 AM, the moon developed a black 'X' on it, still it was not noticed or under stood. By 3:00 AM however, a black mass, blacker than the blackest black hole, zoomed into the atmosphere and slammed into the forest not far from Camp Everfree. Instantly, every living thing in a 2 mile radius around the impact, died, revealing a circular pit of sentiant ooze. This ooze extends appendages outward killing more things and allowing for more growth and strengthening. During this, a deep demonicly twisted chuckle echo's through out the forest, originating from the pit of black ooze. Author's Note This chapter gives some background and will help give an understanding to my mythos. An eon is a Pangeona14 (Pangean Home-world) year; 1 Eon = 5.725 Duodecillion of our own years. The Current eon is 1075 AEZ (After Eon Zero), Story Eon is 1430 AEZ |⨀|= Absolute Terminus Ω = Absolute Infinity *-I don’t know the true name of the city so I made up a name. **-Basically a Mustang, I renamed it to sound more powerful. At the time of this story, Sunset's involvment in stopping magical anomalies in the human world has resulted in her being paid a Royal's Ransom by all the gov'ts of the human world. In total she has amassed $2.75 Trillion dollars in rewards from saving many human nations from magical perils, rivaling even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's Net worth, or even the combined networth of all equestria's combined economies. Yet even with all this money Sunset lives a very modest life style.

King Xragon when he finished his transformation into his true form: https://www.deviantart.com/pangea1430/art/Xragon-King-Of-Evil-915991220 Chapter II: Surge Tenebarum "Excuse me! Sorry! Comming through!" Dr. Twilight Sparkle runs through the halls of Everton University trying to get to her students after being in a meeting with the head principal of the University concerning her promotion to Dean. Twilight's dealings and studies in Equestrian magic has earned her a PhD in the study, and because of her outstanding research, she was being promoted to Dean of the Everton School of Magic. After finally reaching her door, she stops and catches her breath before turning the knob. "Morning class! Sorry I'm laaAAHHH!!" She suddenly found her self looking into a pink void causing her to nearly fall in. "HA HA HA HA!!! You really thought I was gone? That I had ceased to exist?" The voice said. Twilight reconized the voice, and realised it was much more demonic sounding than it used to be. "You really are just a joke. You and your...PITIFUL LITTLE TRINKETS!!" the voice continued with a more venomous tone. Suddenly the world started to deconstruct, revealing that this was not the real world. Twilight was terrified, but she stood her ground beleveing that she could use the magic of friendship to banish the she demon again. Summoning enough courage, Twilight called the demon out, "MIDNIGHT SPARKLE! STOP HIDING IN THE SHADOWS LIKE A FUCKING COWARD AND FACE ME!" she yelled. Everything went silent. The pink hue became a blood peircing, demonic vivid red. The ambient temprature began to become hot. At this moment all of the courage Twilight had, evaporated. She twisted, and turned trying to figure out what was happening. "Wh-What's happening?" Twilight asked. Two Eyes appeared in front of Twilight, however unlike the light teal flame rimmed, Teal and Pink eyes. They were Black with red glowing red slit pupils with black fire rimming the eyes. "YOUR DUE PUNISHMENT! HA HA HA HA HA!" The demon cackled before fully forming. The demon was much more horrifying in appearence. Her skin was a maroon color, hair was now black with red, maroon, and a darker maroon stripes, there were 4 black angled horns on the sides of her head, the horn on her forehead was also pitch black. Her teeth were all razor sharp canines with two of them being much longer, she also had 2 more eyes on her forehead, making 4 total eyes. The wings were now true demon wings, with a red line in them and many holes through out. Hands now had rasor sharp claws, and her dress was an entire mass of darkness that took the form of a dress. The demon was about to kill Twilight but suddenly it looked like it was hearing a voice telling it something."Oh Ok I will.", the demon turned to Twilight, "I would have killed you right now, but his infernal darkness has ordered me to let you go and to send a message to your...acquaintances. Tell them, "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back and he will destroy this pathetic world."" The extra demonic Midnight Sparkle then attacked Twilight, causing her to wake up screaming. The other girls all charged into the room, "Twilight whats wrong?!" Sunset shimmer asked. The former shadow bolt's skin was pale and clammy, she could only speak in sounds before breaking down in tears. "Come on y'all, let's give her some time to calm down." Applejack said, before guiding the girls out of the room, leaving Twilight to her thoughts and feelings. However, one phrase kept echoing through her mind "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back and he will destroy this pathetic world!" Twilight ruminated over this. "What did the demon mean? Who is this King Xragon? What does he want with us?" She thought to herself. Twilight decided to bring this to her friends and see what they have to say. Back in the Everfree Forest, the black mass has expanded its size and has killed off 9600 acres of trees and wildlife, and caused the area to smell of sulfur and rotting flesh. The smell reaches Camp Everfree, only 1/2 a mile from the edge of the decay, where Gloriosa Daisy is relaxing and taking in the beautiful morning. Until the smell reaches her nose, nearly causing her to lose her stomach. "What is that awflul smell?" she asks herself while pinching her nose. Looking up Gloriosa notices that a putrid green gas is flowing over the ground killing off the grass and flowers. And sees that it is flowing out of the forest. With curiosity overcoming her disgust, she takes a bandana, covers it in plesent smelling oils and covers her face with it. She then heads into the forest, passing by dead or dying plants, putrifying corpses surrounded by dead flys that also sucame to the odorous fumes. Gloriosa's stomach kept knotting up, but she kept going until she made it to a clearing that she realized was not originaly there. Then, she saw the source of the smell, a black mass growing and devouring everything, she could not wrap her mind around what this thing was. As soon as Gloriosa entered the clearing, the dark mass began to extend tendril's towards her. Gloriosa, being distracted by all the decay, didn't see the tendril until it was nearly a foot from her ankle. At which point, she cryed out and started running, soon, more and more tendrils shot towards her, missing her by inches. Gloriosa makes it into the forest, but the thing keeps chasing her. She dodges rocks, downed trees, putrid corpses, and attacks from the black thing. As Gloriosa neared the camp, she called out to her brother "TIMBER SPRUCE! TIMBER SPRUCE! Gloriosa's younger brother comes out of their personal cabin to see what the commotion was about, "Gloriosa! What's wrong?" Timber asked. Pulling the bandana off her face, she excitedly runs for their truck. "HURRY GET IN THE TRUCK!! IT'S COMING!!" Gloriosa screams. Before Timber Spruce could ask Gloriosa any questions, a black tendril shoots out from the forest and strikes the ground frighteningly close to Timber. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!" Timber screams. "I DON'T KNOW" Gloriosa replyed. "We need to get Sunset Shimmer and her friends! They'll know what's going on!" The two get into Timber's truck and speed down towards Sunset Shimmer's place, while the black tendrils recede back into the forest while a demonic low chuckle echos through the trees. At Sunset's place Twilight Sparkle was telling her friends everything about her dream "...right as she was going to kill me, it seemed as if something was talking to her and when she turned back to me she said, 'Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon is back, and he will destroy this pathetic world!' Princess, do you know any thing about this King Xragon?" The equestrian princess looked at her human counterpart. "I have no idea who he is. But, we need not worry, because the magic of friendship will dispell him if he arises." The Princess said. Twilight pushed a lock of hair out of her face, "I hope so. He sounds more of a threat than some of the magic crazed psyco humans that we have to face most of the time. The sound of tires screeching to a stop outside grabbed the attention of everyone. Immediatly the girls heard a hysterical voice calling them while banging on the front door, "GIRLS! GIRLS! WE NEED YOU! THERE IS A BLACK MASS KILLING EVERYTHING IN THE FOREST NEAR OUR CAMP!" Sunset opened the door, "What's with all the comotion?" Sunset asked The hysterical Gloriosa grabs Sunset's wrist and yanks her to the truck. "No time! We'll tell you everything on the way!" Timber speeds towards the Everfree Forest, as fast as he can. "So let me get this straight. You were attacked by some black mass when you followed a vile odour into a dead clearing?" Sunset asked. Gloriosa silently nodded her head, still terrified by what she's been through. "Well let's just get there, and hope we don't run into trouble on the way." Sunset said in reply. However, as if karma was listening, a huge dead bird slammed into the windshield causing it to partialy shatter. This causes Rarity to scream, Fluttershy to curl up and cry, and Timber Spruce to slam on the brakes, "Is every one ok?" asked Timber Spruce. Everyone nodded, but soon another "thud" occured, then another and another. Timber got out of his truck and saw a huge "rainfall" of birds, and farther down, trees were collapsing under their own weight. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" Timber cursed. Gloriosa then started screaming for Timber to get in, which he does and they continue to the camp. But, even before thye get to the camp entrance, they noticed that the sterilized enviorment had enveloped the whole camp ground, and now was extending across the road. Turning into the camp gates, they notice that the black "lake" had grown to 10 times its origenal size, some of the cabins were already sinking into the sludge. Princess Twilight, who had sat in the back seat, got out of the truck and walked towards the pulsating mass, stopping a foot from it. After some deep thought, she called her friends "Ok girls, so here's the situation. This black stuff is growing, and will soon absorb Canterlot City if we don't act fast. So here is the plan: Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy will take to the skys, I want you to scout for any potental rapid growth, and if any homes are in the path, and rescue those who are in danger." "On it!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting to the Princess, "The rest of us will try to confine it back into the crater so we can zap it with the Elements. Everyone understand their assignments?" Princess Twilight concluded. Her friends all said yes. "Alright 'Friendship is Magic' on three!" The girls all gathered in a circle and put their hands in the middle: "1!" "2!" "3!" "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" The girls yelled in unison. They immediately got to work and managed to not run into any setbacks, though the black substance did try to attack the girls, the girls were unharmed. Finally after 2 hours, the mass had been pushed back into its crater. "Ok now to dispell this thing." The girls all held hands, "Every one ready?" Everyone nodded, prompting Princess Twilight to start the Elements of Harmony spell. The girls pendents began levitating up and spun around each other until they were pointed at the mass with Twilight Sparkle's in the middle. The girls all opened their eyes causing the 6 of the pendents to shoot their magic into Twilight's resulting in an enormous rainbow laser blasting into the mass. Finally, Princess Twilight climaxed the spell resulting in a blinding light to envelop everything. The girls' eyes readjusted to the normal light. "Did we do it?" Fluttershy asked. Looking to the location of the crater, the girls all saw that it was empty. They did it. Until Fluttershy looked up, causing her to scream. The other girls, Gloriosa and Tember, all looked up and saw that the black mass had become a sphere with several slit pupiled red eyes in it. "HA HA HA HA!! Thank you for reigniting my powers!" it said. Fluttershy fainted. The others looked on in horror and fear. Princess Twilight was utterly stunned at how this being could have been able to use the magic of friendship to repower its self. The only word that the princess muttered was a whispered "How?" The eye was able to hear the Princess' whisper, "How? I'll tell you how. I am no ordinary being of darkness! I AM the darkness! I am the fears you fear, I am the villains you fight, the monsters you battle, I AM THE KING OF IT ALL! I'm the reason you became evil Sunset Shimmer, I'm the reason that you turned into Midnight Sparkle Twilight.! The girls were silent. "The Dazzlings, Gloriosa Daisy, Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage, Vignette Valencia, Principal Cinch and the PostCrush duo! I Corrupted them and used them knowing that you would use your magic of friendship, and thus, from The Void, I absorbed your magic. Now that I am free, I will show you, WHO I AM!!" The black sphere was then encased in a black aura that rose up. The sky darkened and the winds picked up, the world's ambiant lighting turned red. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Twilight asked. "I DON'T KNOW!" Princess Twilight responded. Black lightning started striking every where, jets of black shot out of the sphere, thunder roared, and with a massive loud explosion the transformation was complete. The girls and Timber Spruce looked in utter horror at the being that stood before them. It stood far taller than any being they had ever faced, the form was hourglass shaped, his shoulders were horns, his head had several eyes with vivid red scleras and slit pupils. 6 angled black horns stick out of the sides of its head, 3 on one side, 3 on the other. And over the demon's head, a crown of maroon floated. It was far more fear inducing than anything Equestria or the Human World had ever seen. "HA HA HA HA!! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!!" the demon bellowed, "NOW BEAR WITTNESS TO THE DARKNESS OF EMPEROR KING XRAGON!!!. King Xragon then shot off towards the city to begin his second reign of utter horror.
Chapter III: Fall of HarmonyIn the city, the citizens are all going about their bussiness. The bankers manage money, mechanics fixing mechanical problems, engineers calculate and design structures, and so on. Then the world goes dark. A ball of black eclipsed the sun, and the corona of the sun becomes a red fire. A red slited eye opens and looks at the people below. "MY SLAVES! I HAVE RETURNED!" King Xragon said with his demonic voice. "AND IT IS ALL THANKS TO THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY THAT I AM FULLY POWERFUL AGAIN! NOW BEAR WITTNESS TO YOUR END!" Meanwhile, the 8 girls, Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy speed down CR(Canterlot Road)755 as fast as the truck's engine can go. "COME ON!! GO FASTER!!!" Rainbow Dash shouts. "I'M TRYING! This thing isn't built to be fast for your information!" Timber Spruce responded. "Besides I'm going 102 miles per hour!" Immediatly after passing the Canterlot City city limits sign, a trumendous tremor began making it hard for Tember Spruce to control the vehicle. Timber began to break, but as he did, another jolt jerked the truck sideways causing it to roll."Everyone bail!" Rainbow Dash shouted. Sunset Shimmer grabbed a hold of a petrified Fluttershy and jumped from the rolling truck, the Twilights held onto each other. The last one to jump was Timber who had only 2 seconds to spare as the truck hit a rock propelling it into a large tree causing the truck to explode on impact. Everyone looked in horror at the burning ball of metal. Rainbow Dash in overwealming stress finally screamed in rage "AAAAAHG!!! That is just great! JUST FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!! NOW WE HAVE NO FUCKING WAY TO GET TO THE CITY QUICKLY!! CAN THIS DAY GET ANY FUCKING WORSE!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted. As if on queue, a huge wall of fire erupted, outlining the city limits, and cutting off a means of escape by road or air. Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash with a mix of disappointment, rage, and hatered. Rainbow Dash returned with the "I didn't do anything" smile. Sunset Shimmer slapped Rainbow in the back of the head so forcefully that the latter thought her teeth were going to come out. "How many times do we have to tell you, DO NOT SAY THAT PHRASE!!" "Sorry." Rainbow Dash said, rubbing the back of her head where Sunset Shimmer slapped her. "Soooo...What now?" Rainbow asked. "We need to find another way to get into town. Any ideas?" The Princess asked. Everyone started thinking before Pinkie Pie excitedly jumping "OH! OH! I KNOW!" Pinkie Shouted. "Why don't we use our powers and fly to the city!" Pinkie suggested. Everyone agreed it was a good idea. What else could they do anyway, no one was driving on the roads as there was no way out of the city, and it would take several hours to get to town on foot. "All right, lets do this." Princess Twilight said. The 8 girls transformed into their ponified forms. "Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy go on ahead and keep an eye on the demon." Princess Twilight ordered. "On it!" Rainbow Dash replied before rocketing off with Fluttershy trailing behind. Princess Twilight then had Rarity make a raft out of the crystals that she can summon, this was to be used for Pinkie Pie, AJ, Rarity, Gloriosa and Timber Spruce as the two Twilights magically carry them over to town. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash is over the Canterlot City, and what she sees, horrifies her and causes her stomach to twist and knot up. People are running for their lives in vain attempts to hide from the demon, many dead bodies litter the ground, several with their entrails strewn all about. However, some of Xragon's victims were dealt the cruelest form of 'worse than death' fates ever seen, a few were seen with thier eyes pulled out of their sockets and skewered into the person's head, they were also blood eagled and had their beating hearts dangling around their necks by extended blood vessels, the bones in some were reconfigured as well, others were merged, mutilated and desicrated so viciously that they didn't even look human anymore. But the part that nearly caused Rainbow Dash to loose her breakfast was that some people had been turned inside out. Still breathing, still alive, but in so much pain that death would be their escape. All this horror and pain happening while King Xragon cuts open a screaming girl from Crystal Prep, it was Sugarcoat. "Now maybe I should put your brain in your chest cavity, put an eye in your belly button, or maybe make a bow out of your intestines and wings out of your ribs!" Sugarcoat was in immense pain from the black demon cutting her torso open, she was in so much pain that she could not scream anymore, but her face of agony portrayed the pain she was in. She was straped onto the roof of the Crystal Prep Acadamy, which made it easier for Xragon to do his..."experiments". Sugarcoat was beginning to black out before seeing a streak of rainbow color zip by and pick her up so fast that the demon didn't even know that his "test subject" was gone. As this happened the others arrived to aid Rainbow Dash. As the girls got closer to King Xragon, Twilight suddeny began having flash visions of corrupted Midnight Sparkle, all while hearing a paraphrased version of the warning from earlier, "Your days are numbered! His Infernal Darkness, King Xragon WILL destroy this pathetic world!" The diamond raft landed near the portal in front of Canterlot High. The school was on fire, but that was not what had the girls' attention. It was the number of evicerated corpses and organs strewn all over the courtyard. Princess Twilight's stomach flipped and churned, but she fought the nausea down. Princess Twilight began scheming a way to defeat the demon but was snapped out of her thoughts when a loud roaring voice spoke, "WHERE IS MY TEST SUBJECT?!" King Xragon roared enraged. Rainbow Dash zoomed around the demon before stopping in front of his face. Rainbow had a cocky expression on her face, "I don't know your highness." Rainbow Dash said before flipping her middle finger at the demon as she rainboomed away. King Xragon shot after Rainbow Dash, all the while, morphing into his humanoid form. Using his omnisensory perception, Xragon tracked Rainbow Dash, and with a snap of his fingers, Rainbow's wings were telekineticly ripped off her back, causing her to scream in agony from the pain of her wings being removed, and in fear as she rocketed towards the ground at one and a half times the speed of sound. Xragon bellowed a laugh as the rainbow streak zoomed towards the ground. Fortunatly Princess Twilight telekineticly stopped her the decent with only 1 foot to spare, then teleported to her friends. The girls all sighed in relief. The Princess turned to her friends, "We need to end this. NOW!" Before they could act ,the black demon grabbed the girls and lifted them to his face. His eyes bore and impaled the girls souls. "AND HOW PRAY TELL DO YOU PLAN TO DO THAT?!" King Xragon asked. "I AM NOT OF YOUR WORLDS! I AM NOT A MANIFESTATION OF DARK EQUESTRIAN MAGIC! I AM THE DARKNESS! I AM THE CONCEPT OF EVIL! HOW DO YOU PLAN TO DEFEAT A CONCEPT?" Xragon continued, his voice sapping the girls of courage. Princess Twilight let her head drop realizing that King Xragon has a point, "I...don't know.", she said with a hint of defeat in her voice. "OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW!!" Xragon spat, "All you think is that the Magic Of Friendship is the answer to all your problems. Well guess what! IT DOES NOT!" Princess Twilight looked at her friends, a spark of hope ignited inside her. "You're wrong Xragon! Friendship is the most powerful force out there." Princess Twilight stood in a defiant stance. "You think you're so powerful?! You're just another inconvenience to us!" Princess Twilight's friends all stood up behind her. "No matter how powerful you say you are Xragon, you can not hope to destroy the elements of Honesty! Generosity! Laughter! Kindess! Loyalty! Empathy! And Magic!" As Princess Twilight called out each element all her friends including her and her doppleganger started glowing and changing into their pony/human hybrids. King Xragon looked at the glowing girls as they began to rise up. "You maybe powerful, but you can not beat the most potent power of all...THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!!!" A magical rainbow shot out of the glowing orb towards Xragon's chest. However, King Xragon was prepared for this as he shot a helix of darkness that surrounded the rainbow laser. And With one jesture from his fingers, the black helix constricted the rainbow. Contorting it into impossible angles and forms. Xragon utters a cackle as the darkness slowly creeps towards the girls as they use every ounce of magic to slow the advancing black beam. However, all their attempts are for naught. The black beam consumes all the rainbow and turns it black before slamming into the glowing orb. The resulting explosion blasts the girls all over the place. The settleing dust reveals a group of 8 defeated girls all hurt but not severely. The first to sit up was Sunset Shimmer, she dusts her self off before noticing that the pendent on her neck had turned into a black silhouette in the shape of the pendent. Looking around her heart sank as she noticed that all the pendents are like this. It took Sunset shimmer a bit to try and figure out what was going on, but it soon hit her like a full speed freight train, the elements of harmony had been sapped dry and are now voids. Sunset held the black silhouette in her hands "No. No No No No NO! Please! It can't end this way!" "Oh but it can! And It IS!!!!" King Xragon hissed. "YOU HAVE RELIED ON THOSE TRINKETS FOR FAR TO LONG!" Tears formed in Sunset's eyes. Suddenly she heard a demonic chuckle in her head. "Oh Sunset?" The voice called in a seductive way. "Did you miss me?" If Sunset's heart was in her feet before, it was now in the core of the Earth. "HOW ABOUT ME?" asked a corrupted voice from behind. Sunset turned to see a Maroon colored Midnight Sparkle levitating over the two Twilights. The demoness' black eyes showing a look of blood lust. Next to Midnight Sparkle was Sunset Shimmer's demon form, Solara Tenebrara Negra. Sunset sat paralysed in fear. "Awww! What's the matter? Are you scared? Don't you miss your old friend?" Solara asked in a baby voice. Sunset couldn't speak. "I...UH...HOW...Bu...Wha...Can't..." She uttered. Solara dropped the act, her face shifted to one of disappointment. "You obviously don't miss me. How unsuprising. I should have known you would have just ditched me for that whole Friendship bullshit when that bitch Princess Twilight stopped us!" Solara became enraged as she kept speaking. Pinkie Pie awoke next. But instead of her eyes opening to a peaceful world. Solara and Midnight Sparkle were her veiw. Startled, Pinkie jumped back and started crabwalking backwards as the two blood lust filled demonesses approached the pink girl. Midnight Sparkle grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. "You have to be the single most annoying thing in the universe. Always wanting to party. Invading personal spaces. And you never leave people alone when they want to be alone!" Midnight screamed as she thrusted her hand towards Pinkie Pie's chest. "Oh God PLEASE NO!!" Pinkie screamed as her hair deflated and became dark gray in color. "Midnight! Solara!" King Xragon yelled out, causing Midnight's hands to stop half an inch from Pinkie's chest. "I need her alive and not terribly injured. I want their minds destroyed first. I want them to witness the destruction of Princess Twilight's home world. I want her to feel helpless as she watches all her friends get slaughtered, gutted, evicerated, disemboweled, and gored. I want her to see Canterlot crumble, the Crystal Empire vanish permanently. I want her ALIVE! For now. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!!!" Xragon says with a venomous tone. The two demonesses bow to King Xragon. "Yes your darkness!" The rest of the girls awaken to hear King Xragon tell Midnight and Solara to tie up Princess Twilight and her friends and send them through the portal. After all is done, Xragon sends the she-demons through while leaving a parting gift of a 5 Gt antimatter bomb which detonates as King Xragon enters the portal, destroying it for good. The last thing heard is a demonic laugh echoing through out the carnege.
