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.
