Chapter III: Fall of Harmony

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

In 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.
