"Who are you?" she asked. She had pretend that she was meeting them for the first time, which she was but even though she knows them she had to pretend that she's seeing them for the first time.

"My name is Twilight sparkle the princess of friendship," she sat down in the chair next to the bed. "As for the reason I was sent here was to talk about the coming danger that equestria faces. Yours and Luna's shadow I believe she said,"

Well there was no beating around the bush. "So how much do you know Twilight?"

"From what Luna and I talked about. She said that you came from another world where you created magic, and that's where she came from," curious on how one can just create magic.

"Well she can do everything I can do Plus more. I'll explain from the start,"

"Yes let's," excited at the prospect at gaining new knowledge.

Aura sighed. "Yes i did created magic, and now I'm not telling you how I did it," Twilight awed. "Anyway I was consumed by my own darkness just as Luna had, but it didn't it consume me unwillingly i wanted it to consume me. I was never in it to rule or to have power I let it consume me to change me"

"What do you mean change you,"

"I was once male, and by letting it consume me it could change my body to how i Wanted it to be,"

"A female," Twilight answered. Which Aura nodded.

"It did do that but some deeper part of me was unleashed and i let out. It started out fine until she got a little too aggressive and i couldn't control her no more. She tried to separate heart from hers by putting it into a new body,"

"What was that?" Twilight asked.

"Control, to corrupt everything under her control. She has the power to corrupt anypony by using their greatest pleasures against them, and while their distracted by that. She'll use their bodies as her playthings. She tried use her power on my world before i banished her in the deep parts in my mind,"

"And you think that's what she'll do here,"

"yes though i don't know how she'll do it, but if she's as smart as me she has already figured out a way,"

"let's switch topics for a moment. Your friends Luna said they betrayed you?"

Aura didn't want to say anything about them but..."They were experiments created by me in a attempt to creates a new race. I first created was called a replica a pony Sized mannequin doll. It was lifeless at first but combined with a heart they can come to life,"

"You mentioned that before 'heart' what's that. I mean I know what a heart is, but you said that your shadow was going to put her heart into a body. I mean how wouldn't that kill you,"

"No, The heart as I call it, is more like a soul," she placed her hand on the table, a dark ink like sludge came came from her hand and onto the table forming into a dark creature, but it appeared lifeless. "This her-,"

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT," Twilight yelled out interrupting Aura. She shouldn't be able to do this she's not a unicorn.

"I can do this I told you I created magic. I thought you knew that,"

"Oh right sorry I never thought you could use your magic here,"

"Anyway as I was saying. The heart is more like a soul but's not. The soul is what keeps you alive while the heart is what stores all you memories, emotions everything that makes you, well you," She pointed down at the lifeless inky creature. Twilight look at it and saw that it was moving and even waving at her. "But if you take away the heart from a pony they become a heartless pony. Their alive mostly heartless," She placed her hand on the creature, she then pulled a piece of light ball from the creature. The inky creature fell on the table, it look like it was still alive.

"So how did you do that," Twilight asked

"Yeah I can create any creature I can imagine,"

"How does she intend to take over equestria, when she in the dream realm,"

"She can still come out, all she need is a body,"

"How would she get one. it's not like anypony will be willing do give up their body,"

"I don't know..."

~=========================================~

Somewhere in the everfree a simple timber wolf was looking for its next prey. It felt something in its core then suddenly dark tendrils came from within the timber wolf grabbing each of its limbs binding it to its body. It yelled out feeling its pain increasing. 'Oh my your body is perfect for me to use'. The timber wolf dark core grew to cover her body it tried to break free clawing at it bindings. When the core completely covered the timber wolf its mind tried to fight whoever was trying to take over its body.

A dark inky ball stood out in the forest, forming into a pony shape figure. But it looked like it was a fusion between a pony and timber wolf. She had the body shape of a pony but her body was entirely of wood giving her a very puppet look, her mane and tail were green like the timber wolf whose body she took over. Around her eyes wooden marking displayed as she were wearing a mask. Her body was a inky shape that wasn't covered by the wood, it still had the shape of a pony but it looked more like her body was mostly ink.

"Ah that'll do nicely," she said inspecting her wood/bark covered arm. "What took you so long," looking to her side she saw Nightmare Moon But only it didn't look like her. Her body also looked like a fusion between a alicorn and a timber wolf. Her wooden body was dark as the void itself, but it was covered in wood.

"I had trouble finding the right wolf to possess," She then walked closer to the one who freed her. "Why exactly do we possess these simple minded creatures,"

"Its exactly because they're simple minded that we can possess them. we'll get better bodies soon but right now we're weak we have to get stronger before getting stronger bodies," Mia then sat down near a tree, the tree then dried up instantly. Feeling her body absorbing the tree life source she sighed "Ah that is nice,".

"How do get stronger in the first place," she tried to summon a fire ball but it fizzled out before it could be a fire ball.

"We first need to absorb as much magic as we can. Then after that we need gather as much knowledge on dark and powerful mag-" Just then a blast of magic was shot towards Mia. She blocked it with a magic barrier which shattered upon impact, sending Mia skidding across the forest. "Well well well what do we have here. Does a lost shadow puppet need a way back to her master,"

Nightmare was getting ready to attack this mysterious when Mia stopped her. "You shouldn't even be out sapphire you and all your darkness should be banished to Tartarus," The being in question stepped out from behind the tree, revealing dark pony shape with her eyes being pink.

"Come on now vanitas we were just having fun, can't you just let this one off the hook please," she said in a mocking tone all the while getting down on her knees in a praying position.

Nightmare was looking between the two ponies. she charged up her wooden horn to fire a blast at the suspecting pony. When she fire it off she found herself unable to do so. She fell on her knees and falling forward.

Seeing this Mia went to explain "You can't use magic yet because you use up all the magic the timber wolf had in it, the only thing keeping your form is your magic is barely keeping your form together," As said this she got and went to push Nightmare against a tree for her to absorb the tree's magic but then remembered vanitas. "Oh and you, be a dear be patient please," She summoned vines to bind vanitas but she escaped before the vines could eclipse her.

Out of nowhere a blast of fire ball flew towards vanitas. She tried to dodge but it was too fast, and she was obliterated in seconds. Out of the grove of tree out came a figure the would have been a goddess herself if not for her wooden body. flaming hair and white body was the goddess of destruction herself: Daybreaker.

"I thought you weren't coming," She carried Nightmare Moon to a nearby tree and laid her there.

"I decided it would be much more fun to have a 'hands on' Approach," She said walking over to Mia And Nightmare. "And there was something I was curious about,"

"Oh and what would that be?"

"You," She grabbed Mia by the throat, lifting her off the ground to her eye level. "You seem to know lot about us 'shadows' and seem to have the knowledge on how to gain these bodies. So tell me how exactly are we going to gain newer bodies than what we currently have,"

"We have absorb enough magic to create our new bodies, but at current rate we'll have to absorbs massive amounts of magic in order to pull it off," She tried to get Daybreaker to let go but she Didn't want to waste magic on doing it. "And beside after you get your body You'll kill both of us and try to fight you good half celestia, but you'll lose she has the elements of harmony behind her,"

Chuckling turning into a full blown laughter. "You are wrong on both those points dear, First i'm not going to kill you that would waste, and her...," She looked at Nightmare who was unconscious at this point. "She can become my cum dump slut. And second i won't lose against those weak elements of harmony, they won't stand chance Against the plan you and I will set up for them,"

"And what makes you think I'll plan anything with you,"

"Because my dear I know what you desire and i can give it to you..." Daybreaker pulled Mia closer so she can whisper in her ear. As soon as she did Mia's eyes widened.

"How did you know about that," She was struggling even more in Daybreaker's grip, all the while Daybreaker was laughing.

"I know that because just has you've been in my mind I've also been in yours as well, and what i found is quite interesting indeed. And because of that little trip i took i know you're a lot more knowledgeable than you seem to both you and your other half," she threw Mia down on the ground. "But first we have to gain our new bodies, both you and her will have to gather magic as fast as you can," She summoned a portal. "But be quick about it dear I am not a patient pony,"

And with that Daybreaker disappeared through the portal. Mia checked to see if she was gone before smiling, the first part of her plan had begun.

~=======================~

Later at the hospital as Twilight and Aura were talking Aura sensed something was wrong when suddenly a massive black ball formed in her room.

"What is that?" Twilight asked getting into a fighting stance.

"Wait," sensing that she knew what it was.

The ball formed into a pony and then fell to the ground. The pony in question seeming injured and had burn marks all over her body.

"Vanitas!!" she yelled. She tried to get but couldn't due to her body being injured.

"Vanitas?" she asked walking over to the mysterious pony. The pony got up or at least tried to, she fell down every time she got up. Twilight walk over to Vanitas to help her up and sets her on the chair. She went to get a doctor but when she did she felt somepony grab her hand.

"Don't... please," Twilight felt conflicted she had to get somepony to help this pony. Vanitas turn her attention back to her master. "Mistress she's here... I fought her but I lost,"

"Vanitas what happened," She nodded for Twilight sit down

"I was in the everfree when i sensed something deeper in the forest so I went to investigate. I found Mia in a wooden form,"

"Wooden form?" Twilight asked.

"She must have used a timber wolf as her vessel. She must be trying to gather enough magic to create a body,"

"Is that even possible?" Twilight seemed even more curious.

"Yes you could create a magic created body, but the problem is you would need huge amounts of magic to do it. Like two to three times the population for canterlot," Aura explained.

"Yes but she wasn't alone Nightmare moon was there as well,"

"Nightmare Moon is back!!!" Twilight yelled causing Vanitas ears to splayed back. Seeing this she said "Sorry,"

"Mia must've taught her how to transport her heart into a vessel," Aura held out her hand towards vanitas, she then turned into a wisp of dark smoke that got absorbed into Aura. "Rest vanitas be at peace,"

"How do we stop them, I mean maybe if use our harmony powers-"

"That won't work because we can destroy their bodies as many times as it takes it won't change anything as long as their hearts remain intact, they will keep gaining bodies,"

"Then how do we stop them,"

"For now it looks like they're still weak and will try to strengthen themselves with magic,"

"How," Twilight asked

"There are a few ways but two most effective ways to do it. The first is love, if you are near two ponies that are deeply in love with each other you could gain magic love from them, or drain a pony of it,"

"And the second?"

"The second method is what they will most likely use: Fear if they can scare a lot of ponies they can use the magic of that fear to get stronger. Basically the more ponies are afraid the stronger they can become and the more magic they will gain,"

"Then how can we stop them,"

"We have to capture them, but we have to be careful,"

"Why,"

"Because if I'm right then we're facing a lot more than just those two..."
