(Prologue) The Rise Of The Darkness

The beginning of Equestria began with a great light creating the first Mane Six who created the base of Equestrian society. The ponies were the very very first Princes and Princesses representing the six needs of society.

Shudder Shudder is an alicorn Prince with a Cutie Mark that's a flaming spear his coat looks like stone and his mane flows with magma. He represent Power which he used to create mountains, rivers, oceans, and canyons. His kingdom lies next to an active volcano. Iron pony competitions are held in his honor to show the influence of his might. When angered he uses his intense might erupting volcanoes, causing earthquakes, and forming tsunamis.

Lionhart Lionhart is an alicorn Prince with a Cutie Mark that's a golden shield he has a pure white coat and has a mane made of pure gold. He represent order which kept control of many other kingdoms. His kingdom is perched atop the mountain where Lionhart sees and keeps order across the land. Every night to check upon the whole equestria he flies at top speed as a burning star across the night sky. He is said to grant a wish to any pony who sees him.

Starfall Nightstar is an alicorn Prince with a Cutie mark of a stained glass brush his coat is pitch black with a mane that looks like the night sky. He represents creativity which brought people together on museums and galleries. His kingdom is high on top of a cloud where every day he paints the night sky differently. He is also the one that paints the snow across the ground and paints each autumn leaf individually.

Rose Rose is an alicorn princess with a Cutie Mark is a heart with a rose in it her coat is light pink and has a mane made of rose petals. She represents love which brings ponies together and keeps the race alive with making ponies fall in love. Her kingdom lies in a meadow of roses. She has a special day when everypony spends their whole day with their special someone. she is notable for her work of causing "coincidences" which brings 2 ponies together.

Galace Galace is an alicorn princess wit a Cutie Mark of a present her coat is blue with a confetti-like mane. She represent fun by throwing great parties and fairs called "Galas" which is named after her. And once a year when snow is on the ground she leaves a present under anyponies tree if they set them up.

Celestia & Luna Even though there are two of them they are counted as one. they represent harmony. As when they are together they are known to make the sun rise and the moon set. Their kingdom is located on canterlot right in the center of Equestria.

Shade Shade is one of them but is not a prince his features are unknown as he is always covered in a cloak. He represents death and has a list filled wit everyponies names and when they will die. He retrieves the pony's soul after death. He is not bad as many ponies think he is. He is the one who decides if they will got to Hades or Heaven depending on their choices. Because Equestria is so large he sometimes will come later to pick up a few souls sometimes known as ghosts of ponies.

Celestia is very busy writing letters. When she finished she used her magic and sent them away. Twilight enters the room and asked "Princess what were you doing?" Celestia replied "Twilight, it is now the time for the meeting."
'The meeting?"
"Every year the six creators arrange a meeting to talk about affairs."
"What affairs?"
"The darkness has come again Twilight. And he is stronger than ever. We will meet for a plan to stop it."
"Should I tell anyone else?"
"No this is a secret do not tell anyone! You should leave now."
As Twilight leaves the room Celestia looks outside as the sky slightly becomes darker.

The next day there was a strong line of defense of the guards and a huge magical barrier was made around Canterlot. Shudder says in a very surprised tone "You say the darkness has come back!?" Rose very shocked replied to him "I have seen it fly over my kingdom it was like a huge raincloud but darker." The creators are now in a fuss of confusion and chaos. "ORDER!" Lionhart shouted to keep them down. We defeated the darkness once and we will defeat it again." Lionhart reassured them. "Are you so sure? Celestia said it became stronger." Starfall replied. As Galace was at the point of a breakdown hearing his remark. "WHAT SHALL WE DO!?" Galace was crying at this point. Luna tried her best to comfort her. Then suddenly the doors burst open in the meeting hall as the barrier outside was shattered and defeated guards lay across the floor.

Staring back at them was a pony with undistinguishable features As he was covered by a cloak. clestia gasped "Shade!? This is royal business what are you doing here!?" Shade replied "Aren't I your brother? Thus I am royalty."
"Shade what is your business here.”
“My business is to get one thing straight in your royal crackheads and that is I will be joining you to defeat him.”
“We do not need your help Shade”
“I think you will the darkness already covered Alistar.”
“Alistar!? That is the kingdom with the highest security measures.”
“Exactly and this thing plans to use his magic to bring all Hell loose. I encountered him while bringing a pony to those gates. Luckily he had little power in the underworld. But the more souls he consumes the stronger he becomes. Now hear me out I will be joining you.”
“Just you?”
“I have an army.”
“Of how many?”
“Six.”
“Six? That’s it.”
“I chose them as representatives for all of you and they are more powerful than you can imagine.”
“Who are they?”
“Applejack represents Shudder, Rainbow Dash represents Lionhart, Rarity represents Starfall, Fluttershy represents Rose, Pinkie Pie represents Galace, and finally Twilight Sparkle representing You and Luna.”
“So you got twilight and her friends to join us?”
“Yes I have”
“I think this plan just might work!”

Ch. 1 Training Day For AJ

“So, where are they now?” Asked Celestia. “Any second now” Answered Shade. Applejack ran into the room and asked “You summoned me Shade?” “Yes I did and your training begins” Answered Shade“You come with me” Shade commanded as he was walking out of the meeting room. "Be safe!”Shouted Celestia. “I will try my best to keep her safe!" Shade then left with Applejack. "Y'sure we aren't gonna somewhere dangerous Shade?" Applejack said "Of course we aren't, you aren't going to be in any danger for quite a while." Shade reassured her.

"Will we ever be?" Asked Applejack
"Sure, when the darkness and his children come." Answered Shade
"His children?" Asked Applejack nervous that there will be even greater things to fight
"Chimeras, Manticores, Dragons, get the idea?" Shade reassured
"Y'know Twilight's gonna be furious when she hears dragons are attacking." Applejack chuckled.
"That's alright at least Spike's stable." Shade knowingly answers.
"You know Spike?" Applejack asked very confused
'I know everyone." Answered Shade smiling
"Oh, yeah that's right being a reaper and all." Replied Applejack smiling

As they finally stopped right in front of a small cottage Applejack remembered a vision, something blurry in her head about this place. She was on the ground with her hooves on her head looking like she had a great headache. "I know applejack something is bothering you." Shade said. "H How d'you know?" Applejack answered cooling down. "I brought you here for a reason Applejack. Do you remember this place.” Shade said. Applejack quieted down for a moment and closed her eyes she concentrated for a while. She finally spoke “Yes I do.”
“Then what do you see?” Shade asked
“My self it’s me there. And… and my father.” Applejack said concentrating
“Your father and…” Said Shade making her try to continue.
“And a pony looking like it’s made of a black mist.”
“STOP! You have learned enough!” Shouted Shade
Applejack then turned around and sighed “What was that?” Shade answered her saying “It was the darkness in its weakest form” Applejack replied by saying “So your saying when I was little this thing tried to kill my family?” “I’m afraid so” Said Shade calmly. Suddenly Applejack’s eyes flashed red and smoke was coming out of her nostrils like a raging bull. She then suddenly charged towards Shade. Shade then used one of his spells to calm her down. “W… What happened?” Applejack said dazed. “It’s your anger Applejack you must control it. I know the Darkness has taken your father. And we will get him back, don’t worry. Anyways I must teach you how to use that anger of yours as a weapon.” Applejack then replied “How?” “Simple, think about that memory, that’s why I brought you here.” Shade told her.
Suddenly a huge horde of manticores came running towards them. “Think about it NOW!” Shade commanded her. Applejack concentrated the hardest she can. Suddenly her eyes flashed red again and she charged right into the huge horde of manticores she bucked them one at a time not even getting tired. The last of the horde was a manticore with leopard skin and 4 scorpion tails. He was plated with an armor made of obsidian. He suddenly breathed out fire as Applejack tried to dodge the flames. She then suddenly fell over. The manticore went closer to her. She then turned around, put her hind legs in the air and bucked the manticores armor. The obsidian armor shattered to pieces as if it were glass. The manticore enraged pinned her to the ground with each stinger to her legs. She struggled for a while until she managed to break off one stinger and lodged it right into the manticore’s neck. The manticore then toppled over. Dead. Applejack then calmed down as her eyes returned to normal.
“And what were you doin’ this whole time!?” Said Applejack looking at Shade. Shade then pointed at two dead black dragons. “Oh, sorry.” Said applejack feeling embarrassed. “It’s alright. But we have to get going to Highrock. Shudder’s kingdom.” Replied Shade. Applejack then hopped on Shade’s back as his wings that looked like a crow’s spread out. They then flew up high overlooking the area of Dramoria a lush beautiful land that is protected by Shudder. “Wow, this place is more beautiful than any place I have ever seen!” said Applejack amazed. Shade continued to fly until they got to the kingdom. Shudder then met them at the inside. “Here is your representative” Said Shade “Hmm, we’ll see if she’s good enough. In the arena.” Said Shudder in a booming voice. “ARENA!?” Said Applejack surprised. “It’s alright Applejack just do what I taught you.”
The arena is a huge Coliseum which thousands of ponies came to watch daily. “ON THIS SIDE!” Shudder said pointing to the left. “APPLEJACK!” As Applejack entered the arena the crowd went silent. “ON THE OTHER SIDE” Said Shudder pointing to the right “HAMMERHOOF” Hammerhoof a huge pony that is the size of 2 stallions and appears to be made of stone entered the arena as the crowd roared. “Umm, I think she might get hurt.” Shade said sounding concerned. “Why, do you care for her?” Shudder said with a grin on his face. Shade snarled. “BEGIN!” Shouted Shudder. As the Hammerhoof stood in front of Applejack smiling as he towered above her. Applejack then gulped and concentrated. With her eyes turning red she charged forward Hammerhoof but he just slapped her away with one hoof. Applejack then knew that fighting is worthless against him. But then she noticed that there is a chain on the floor. She picked up the chain and threw it on Hammerhoof tripping him. She then Bucked a rock and hit Hammerhoof on the face knocking him on the floor cracking his stone coat. She then put her hind legs up and stared at the crowd. The ponies put their hooves facing down meaning finish him. She then bucked Hammerhoof in the face breaking his coat completely. The crowd and Applejack gasped as a brown stallion was on the floor.
After the match Shudder gave Applejack a pair of metal spiked boots. “These are used to amplify your power. Use it wisely.” “Thanks.” Said Applejack thanking him for the present. “We best be going now!” said Shade as Applejack followed him on a trail out of the kingdom. As they walked on the trail they took a rest to sit and watch the sunset. They soon looked at each other Applejack then closed her eyes and put her face closer to Shade’s. Shade pushed her face away gently and said “Whoa there lover girl.” Applejack giggled and they finished their rest when the sun set. As they were on their way back to canterlot.
