Dark visitors

There is darkness we can’t see from the light of our world, until it is so close that we can’t get out of it reach.

Darkness whose existence we don’t even know, because the light of our world blinds us.

Darkness that’s lurking beyond the reach of our sight, until is time to jump on the attack.

Chapter 1

Traveler Chaos

It was a normal day like any other in ponyville. The sun shining, the birds singing and all the ponies walk from one side to other, busy but happy. All but two ponies. Walking with disgusted look, a white coat unicorn with blue hair completely disheveled and tail of the same color, although a little more organized, and a brown coat pegasus with black hair combed not better than his partner, and that just seeing which protruded under the black helmet he was wearing, and tail the same color as his mane, but this was completely disheveled and with a couple of branches and leaves as if he was running at full speed through bushes.

"This is bad." The unicorn said. "If those guys see me, the man in charge of “The Controllers”, and you, the lord of chaos, in a place like this, they will serve all our heads on a platter for their boss." That comment caught the attention of several ponies that roam the streets.

"All our heads?" The pegasus answered by way of mockery. "We’re just two"

"I pretend to change that with the time, what I can’t if we're dead by then."

"Whatever. And I don’t see why you are so worry, their boss is your cousin, he will never order your death. Right? ... Right"

"Would this be a bad time to tell you that our heads have price and that was my dear cousin who put it?" The Pegasus froze looking at his friend, while the ponies were even more curious. "This is your fault."

"Me? Why this would be my fault?"

"Well, this isn’t my fault." Said the unicorn stopping and pointing all over the place with his right hoof. "And to my knowledge, the only other with one of my devises is you ..." This time pointed to the pegasus with one of his hoof and with an accusing glare. "... So this is your fault." The unicorn looked away and continued his march, until he suddenly stopped as if something had beaten his head. "We are the only ones who possess the devises. Right, Chaos?"

"Well ... it’s actually a funny story." A blaming smile appeared on the face of Chaos.

"You ... you are a ... I'll ..." Anger simply don’t let the unicorn even organize ideas.

"Calm down Traveler. Surely there's a way to fix this."

"Who you GAVE MY DEVICE?!" Shouted at Chaos. "What you looking at?!" Shouted at a group of ponies that had turned to look out the screams.

"Take it easy dude." Chaos replied with some fear to see the reaction of his friend, but he wasn’t surprised by it, he knows his friend's bad mood. "If you want to know who I gave it, I gave it to my cousin."

"Oh, then there’s no problem, you gave it to your cousin." The voice of the unicorn was calm.

"You’re ... pretending to be calm, right?"

"OF COURSE I'M PRETENDING! We gotta get out of here."

"We need information."

"Good idea. Wait, we cannot, the devises not work, remember? We need to bring your cousin here, now only she can get us out of this mess. Procedure fifteen."

"Great! I love the procedure fifteen." Chaos hit his helmet with his right hoof and flew away. "Great! I can fly! This is cool!" Again the pair of ponies had caught the attention of every pony on the street. A pegasus surprised because he could fly? He wasn’t an adult, but he was old enough to have a good flying experience. The idea that those two were just two crazy ponies started to cross the minds of the ponies in the street.

"I wonder what I can do."

"Are ya serious?" Said a yellow filly with red mane and tail, and a big pink bun on her head that was passing by. "You’re a unicorn, you can use magic, everypony knows that. How you don’t know that and how you don’t ... you don’t have a cutie mark."

"A what?"

"A cutie mark. Don’t you know what a cutie mark is?"

"Are you going to tell us what the hell is a cutie mark or what?" Asked Chaos while landing, losing his patience.

"A cutie mark is the most important thing for a pony! When a pony discovers what is his special talent or what makes him different from the other ponies a cutie mark appears magically on his flank."

"I understand." Traveler said as he watched the cutie mark of the ponies passing on the street. "Wait, you don’t have a cutie mark."

"I know you don’t have to remind me. Me and my friends Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are the cutie mark crusaders and we also seek our cutie marks."

"Also? You talk as if we cared to find that cutie whatever."

"The cutie mark tells us what is our talent, what make us special. It said our goal in life! What kind of pony would not want to find his cutie mark?!"

"We. And why you care so much, we don’t even know who you are."

"I'm Apple Bloom."

"Hello Apple Bloom." Chaos was smiling as a colt meeting a new friend. "I'm Chaos and this grumpy unicorn at me side is Traveler."

"Yes, and if you excuse me, I must learn to use my magic." Traveler closed his eyes and concentrated.

He could feel energy flowing through his horn, was close to release all that power, he could feel it. He felt all the energy out of your horn and heard a loud bang. Quickly opened his eyes and saw a big hole in a wall in front of him.

"What happened?"

"Your horn began to emanate black energy and suddenly threw a lightning that breaks that wall as if it was nothing." Chaos answered admiringly.

"Black energy?" Ask Apple Bloom. "That’s how you call that black mist covering Traveler’s horn?"

"Yes."  Traveler answered by muddling through. "Use magic was easier than I expected."

"YOU GOT YOUR CUTIE MARK!" The shout of Apple Bloom make the other two ponies looked Traveler flank too and then they saw a strange symbol drawn with black lines.

\ ^ /} ~

"What's that?" Apple Bloom ask confused.

"I have no idea." Chaos answered as confused as the filly.

"How is that you don’t know what it is?! It's the symbol of black energy. You've seen it a thousand times!" Traveler scolded a little angry. Well, a little compared with the other occasions he had been angry.

"Oooooohhhhhh ... right, the symbol of black energy." Chaos tried to hide his confusion.

"You don’t remember it, right?"

"Nope."

"So, I guess your talent is managing that weird mist." Apple Bloom concludes."What else can you do with it?"

"That doesn’t matter; with this is enough to destroy the city."

"I suppose, but ... Wait, Did you say destroy the city?"

"Right."

"PROCEDURE FIFTEEN BEGIN!" Chaos shouted and started flying again, but this time spinning like a tornado through a nearby house easily, as if it was made of paper. When he left, there was a mark on his side as a cartoon blast.

"Look at that." Traveler said with an evil shine in his eyes. "Looks like your talent is destroying things. That will be quite useful."

"I know." By that moment all ponies in ponyville were running in terror, all exept Apple Bloom.

Traveler looks three pots that were in front of a house and its horn was covered by black energy. "Bip." A lightning left his horn and blew the pot on the left along with the window behind. "Bap." Another lightning left his horn and blew up the pot on the right along with the front door. "Bam." A third lightning left and hit the center pot flying it into pieces and pulling down what was left standing in the front of the house, exposing his terrified habitants. "Three of three. Beat that Chaos."

"Why do you do this?" Apple Bloom ask terrified as he slowly retreated.

"It’s not your matte." Traveler replied coldly. "Better go before you get hurt." Apple Bloom couldn’t do anything but run as far as she could.

"Hey, traveler, check this out."  Chaos shouted as he break through repeatedly the City Hall letting it full of holes.

"Not bad. But I think I can do it better." Once again his horn was covered with dark energy, but this time do not throw a lightning, instead he gestured with his head and a large shadow was formed in mid-air next to the building and cut it in two as a blade.

The top of the town hall, now holding on nothing, slip and fell to the land. Fortunately there was no pony around; because everypony had ran to take refuge when the destruction began.

"Looks like I win." Traveler presumed admiring his work.

"YOU TWO! STOP RIGHT NOW!" Shouted a voice behind traveler, who turned around while Chaos landed beside him.

"Is she your cousin?" Traveler asked.

"How the hell could I know? She probably changes her form when she enters this world, just like us."

"What the hell are you two talking about?" Ask the pegasus who stood imposingly in front of them. "You know what? I don't care, stop destroying the city, now."

The destructive pair of ponies stared the pegasus carefully. His coat was cyan color, her mane and tail mimicked the colors of the rainbow. They look her cutie mark in his flank, a cloud with a lightning which also mimicked the colors of the rainbow.

Traveler approached the pegasus, extended one of his forelegs and took one of the pegasus bringing it closer to his face to see it better.

"No mark. You aren’t who we are searching for." He turned and went back to his friend's side.

"What? Pegasus asked that confused." What mark are you talking about?"

For the Pegasus was clear that they didn’t speak of his cutie mark. It was exposed in his flank and the unicorn had searched her right foreleg. Only then the pegasus realized that the unicorn and his pegasus friend had both a symbol in his right foreleg.

"Hey!" She cry sick of that pair. "I don’t know what the hell is that symbol in your foreleg or why are you looking for somepony with it. I just know that if you don’t stop destroying ponyville you and I will have a problem."

"You think you can beat us? Don’t make me laugh." Traveler smiled arrogantly while taunted the pegasus. Chaos meanwhile flew and hit his helmet with his foreleg like a warrior eager for battle.

"You’re death!" The cyan Pegasus flew and get ready to charge against the unicorn.

"Rainbow Dash waits!" Scream a unicorn hidden in a pile of rubble.

The unicorn had lavender coat and his mane and tail were blue cut in two by two hairlines, one purple and one pink. From his position Traveler couldn’t see her hoofs, so he looks at Chaos, who was still flying in the sky, waiting for confirmation.

Chaos could see much better the unicorn from the sky, saw his cutie mark, it was a dark pink star surrounded by five small white sparkles. Could also look their forelegs, that was what he wanted, but there wasn’t the mark they wanted for. Chaos proceeded to shake his head in negation which was not amused at all to his friend.

"Don’t tell me to wait Twilight, I will teach to respect to these idiots once and for all." Replied the pegasus, still upset and anxious to fight.

"No, you can’t by your own. They are too powerful." Argument Twilight, starting a discussion between the two.

Meanwhile Traveler and Chaos, who had landed, had their own discussion.

"That's two! How many will be before we find her?" Traveler cried furiously while hit Chaos in the chest blaming him for the problem on which they were now.

"Let me see if I understand, my cousin can be anywhere on the planet and you’re expecting to find her in the first two attempts?" Answered the accused in a not very good defense. "And people say you're the smart one of the group."

Apparently these comment wasn’t funny to Traveler taking in count that hit Chaos in the face knocking him to the ground. The newly attacked pegasus stood reeling until he finally stays up.

"What just happened?" He said with apparent amnesia for the hit.

"Nothing." His college lie.

"I was unconscious, and you say nothing happened?!"

"That’s right."

"Whatever" He said a little skeptical but downplaying, as if he didn’t care to have a head injury and didn’t know why "Aren’t we supposed to perform the procedure fifteen? All we've done all day, except for when take down that building, is just talking and talking. Really dude, this is the most boring thing that has happened since we left home. Actually when we left home was more exciting, you know, with the shooting and the explosion and these guys trying to kill us."

"Yes, I know. You know what? You're right."

"I'm?! I mean, of course."

"We lost too much time and this place made us go through many problems. So, LETS BURN IT TO THE GROUND!" His furious shouting stopped the argument between Twilight and Rainbow Dash, who now concentrated all their attention on the destructive pair.

"Great! Finally some fun." Chaos exclaimed beside himself with excitement.

"Do you keep thinking we should wait for the royal guard and Princess Celestia?" Rainbow Dash asked, knowing the answer. Twilight’s horn bright while preparing his magic to stop any attempt to destroy the city by the two diabolical ponies.

Rainbow Dash fly and went hurtling towards the pair of ponies but before she could reach an energy barrier black colored appeared and Rainbow Dash collided with it, not strong enough to be unconscious, but enough to be too stunned to react.

Traveler walked over to the dazed Rainbow Dash smiling devilishly with its horn emitting black mist, but when he was at a couple of step a magical barrier appear between him and his victim.

Traveler glared at Twilight, whose horn glowed with an aura of the same color of the barrier. That look didn’t surprise her, and indeed liked. It means that she was causing him problems, so she smiled confidently, maybe she really could beat them after all. However, when she saw that the glare was accompanied by a mischievous smile she realized that something was wrong.

Only then Twilight realized she didn’t see Chaos anywhere. Before she could do anything she felt a blow on his side, as if some metal traveling at high speed would have beaten her. The blow was so strong that it throws her several feet, right next to her friend.

Chaos and Traveler were just a few steps from the two ponies with evil eyes. Something in their eyes made Twilight be completely paralyzed by fear; it seemed that this would be the end. She couldn’t believe how easy she and her friend had been defeated. She tried to concentrate, cast a last spell on their defense, but she just couldn’t, the fear had dominated her, not let her think. This would be her last.

"STOP!" A voice that seemed to come from nowhere rumbles in the place making all remain silent.

Suddenly a small wall of purple mist appeared from nowhere in the middle of the street and a mare walked out. Her coat was the same color of the mist and her mane and tail was black coloured and disheveled and she had no cutie mark, but a mark in her foreleg.

"She have the mark, is she." Chaos said a little worried to see the annoyed look of his cousin.

"Of course is she, idiot! She goes out from the kind of portal my device makes." Traveler replied hitting the head of Chaos, which was not such a good idea considering that he still wearing his helmet. As he watched his sore leg and Chaos grin, he realized that he should hit Chaos in the face as before.

"What do you think you are doing COUPLE OF FOOLS?" Cried the angry purple pony making Chaos paralyzed with fear.

"You’re a brave warrior." Traveler said the most sarcastically he could. "I take care of this Chaos. Hello Gen" He stepped forward to facing Gen, the purple mare, but when he opened his mouth to speak she shut him up with a scream.

"Not a word! To the portal, NOW!" The pony turned around and went to Twilight and Rainbow Dash."I apologize for the behavior of this pair of fools, by that they are called "Traveler Chaos". I promise that they will not bother you again.

"Always making promises you can’t keep." Traveler sneered maliciously and without hesitation, even when Chaos's cousin sent him a murderous look.

"Wait a minute." Cried indignantly Rainbow Dash. "They can’t just come here to destroy everything and leave just like that."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. How careless." The pony don’t give explanation at the confused looks of Rainbow Dash and Twilight, instead she closed her eyes and that strange black mist began to flow from his legs covering the streets, debris, buildings and moving well to cover the entire ponyville. He opened his eyes and immediately the black mist disappears revealing a ponyville completely rebuilt.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash stood there completely in shock, neither, not even Twilight who was famous for his knowledge of magic, had seen a magic like that, specially executed by an earth pony.

"Well, I guess we can go now." Gen said ignoring the obvious shock of the other two mares.

"Aammmhh ... I guess ... Yes." Twilight was only recovered in part from the shock that was to see a magic like that coming from an earth pony.

"I don't want to interrupt ..." said Traveler with the most serious and concerned look he'd had in all day, the only actually. "... But we should go now. There's an unwanted guest and we would go before he cause problems to us.

Gen turned his head toward the roof of a house, so Twilight and Rainbow Dash do the same. On the roof was a mass of black mist, but this was not like that Gen had spread, or the one Traveler use. In the mass they could see two glowing red reptile eyes with a cold stare. Whatever it was that thing was a living being and not one friendly.

"They find us! We're going to die." Chaos cried terrified running to the portal, the wall of mist from where Gen came from.

"Dead? I don’t think so." Gen finally said while she walks into the portal in total calm.

After looking into the eyes in the mist for a while Traveler finally walked slowly to the portal and stopped at just inches of it and sly look at the two ponies speechless watching what happened while trying to understand what was that they were seeing.

"If you think this is weird, you can’t imagine what is about to happen. The days of peace of this place had officially over." Traveler laughed devilishly as he entered the portal.

Immediately traveler crossed, the black mist left the roof flying off toward the portal entering in it. Rainbow Dash approached the portal, lifted one hoof and slowly approached to touch it, even though Twilight was screaming like crazy not to do it, but when she was within inches of the purple mist that was made, the portal vanished.

While Twilight and Rainbow Dash continued to stand there, trying to understand what had just happened and tried to convince them that it wasn't a dream, realized that several ponies, attracted by the mysterious black mist and the sudden and magical reconstruction of ponyville, had surrounded them, whispering crazy theories about what had rebuilt the city and looked curiously at the two ponies in the center of them.

Between whispers and confused looks Twilight and Rainbow Dash saw running to them her friends Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy. All with worried looks and asking if they were good and what had happened and many other things that lastly ended losing in the noise they ended up doing, which was beginning to rile Twilight.

"SILENCE!" The lavender pony shouted annoyed by the noise her friends did and the rest of the crowd makes silence. "Sorry." She apologized, a little embarrassed about losing control. "We're fine. About for what happened ... I'm not sure what has happened."

"How ya don’t know what happened?" Ask Applejack astounded. "Ya weren’t here when all happened?

"Of course we were here!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed raising his right foreleg with indignation.

"Take it easy Rainbow Dash." Twilight put a hoof in front of her friend to stop her. She looked very upset; his pride was hurt by being defeated so easily. On the other hand Applejack looked worried, surely Apple Bloom had told her that she was around when the destruction began and she was worried by the fact that those two walk around free. "What happened is that ... well ... although we saw everything that happened, in reality we have no idea what it was, we had never seen anything like this.

"And, uuh, what happened?" Ask Fluttershy timidly as usual.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash told what they saw, the two destructive ponies, how easily those criminals had won, not as easy according with Rainbow Dash, the mysterious mare who left the purple haze, how she covered the city with the black mist, how the city was fully rebuilt when the mist disappear and how they had gone through the purple mist followed by that black mist creature.

"Oh dear, that's terrible. It's a relief you two be fine. You should wait and leave the matter to the royal guard. You could have died!" Rarity said worried.

"Of course not, I had everything under control." Rainbow Dash was really offended.

"Sure." Sneered Applejack." Well, at least everything is fine now."

"Yeah!. I am so happy that everything is fine in the end. Everypony is fine; everything is fine, as if nothing bad had happened."Pinkie Pie bounced in place as she spoke, happy by the fact that her friends were fine and safe, and by the fact of being Pinkie Pie. "Oh, wait, I have an idea. Let’s celebrate that everything is fine with a PARTY.

"This is no time for parties Pinkie, those two could return at any moment, or that black mist creature." Twilight was very worried, and at that time she could only think in going to the library to search from where those two got so much power, what were those symbols on their hoof, what was the purple mist and what was that black mist creature.

"Do not be a killjoy Twilight, by what you said, we are not going to see those two again for a while, and apparently the mist was going after them and don’t care anything else, so I do not think it cause problems. We also have to put Rainbow Dash in good mood after be so humiliated." Rainbow Dash, which until now was occupied thinking about the battle that had just lost, woke up and his eyes filled with rage.

"I wasn’t being humiliated!" Rainbow Dash defended herself. "I was about to recover and put in place those fools when that purple pony appeared… However… a party doesn’t sound bad."

"YEY! PARTY" Shouted the excited pink pony and the six friends go to Sugarcube corner for the party. However Twilight keep thinking in what that unicorn had said, about what was about to happen. When the party over, she surely will go to investigate.

~ O ~

As the sun set on the horizon and the ponies in ponyville celebrated in sugarcube corner, something not so cheerful happen in the everfree forest. In the darkest part of the forest, a place never touched by the sun rays, a dark figure was absorbed in his thoughts.

A mass of black mist, this time drawing the silhouette of a unicorn, with those reptilian eyes glowing in that bloody red, but this time with a look full of hate. Lying, sitting on a rock.

Going over and over what had happened. Traveler Chaos had not shown great power in battle in the city, he should easily defeat them, but he didn’t expect to be so weak. He should have attacked before, before ... came into this world, was this place that had weakened him, it was too ... No. No matter now, there was no point thinking about it. Now he just had to think on one thing...

"Revenge." Said the black mist creature with a cold, calm and unsoul voice. "Let me live was a big mistake. It will weigh them. Now, I need to recover ..." The black silhouette stood and looked up. " ... But for that I must make this world a place more comfortable, a place more ... dark."
