The Unknown History and The Magical Future

Present Day

Luna flew towards the shadowy cloud on the horizon.

Discord could hear a pony crying for help far beneath him.

Celestia looked high and low but couldn't find her alicorn sister.

Ambrose followed his wife from a distance, being sure not to be seen.

Metus approached the blue alicorn at the edge of his dark cloud. And Luna saw him coming, she silently cast the summoning spell and her sister popped into existence next to her. Ambrose lowered himself revealing his presence to his spouse and her sister. Luna smiled at him and looked at Metus. He looked between Luna and Ambrose seeing the rings resting upon their horns. He laughed in his handsome, luring tone. "Oh that is precious! The Princess Luna has lowered herself and married one of her slaves!" He turned to Ambrose, "Have you already forgotten your past? You were bred for war, born to die for them." He wiped away the tears of laughter from his eyes. "The training, the pain, the loss, all forgotten in those lying pools of emerald liquid. Has she really made you that blind?"

"We had an agreement Metus. We bound it. Please do tell, how did you break it? And how on Equestria did you open the Gate?" Questioned the curious Celestia.

"Well you see Celestia, when one is in the presence of Omnia, all the enchantments and spells cast on them are peeled away." Responded Metus looking at his hoof that once again melted and disappeared, revealing the burnt, ugly flesh underneath. He then looked up again and his hoof returned to normal.

"HELP!" The voice cried as Discord drew nearer. A small, pink pony was under a boulder that crushed her two hind legs. The draconequus came to her side and looked into her tear filled eyes. She seemed indifferent to his appearance and her eyes pleaded for help. He used his lion arm and eagle claw to shift the boulder off the helpless pony. He turned to face her and her small grimace and tears disappeared, now replaced by an evil grin and her blue eyes flashed yellow. Discord slowly backed away as the pony advanced on him, slowly changing. Her skin blackened and became stained with white spots, two tall horns began to push their way out of her skull, and two white, leather wings extended from her back. The pony's teeth sharpened, and her mane turned shaggy and disheveled. She grew taller and grew a small bit of hair on her chin. It wasn't a she it was a he. Leech was pleased, the power that Metus gave him worked, could could now change into anypony he wanted.

Metus turned his attention to Luna. "Well? Have you considered my proposition?"

"What is he talking about Luna?" Celestia asked her sister.

"So you haven't told her yet? You smart cookie, you." Metus added. "Think about it Luna, you were so close. If she had not used the elements you would have spread fairness and equality. Equestria would be wise and just under the rule of the people. With my help you could create the ultimate Utopia." He used his magic and pushed the images of her trapped on the moon back into her consciousnesses. He brought back memories of her, as Nightmare Moon, leading troops against her sister in the fight for democracy. He dove deeper and deeper into her mind bringing forth more and more memories and images. Luna's body began to shake, her eyes started to turn pale, and she started sweating bullets.

Discord about faced and began flapping his wings furiously. At his heels was Leech, who was slowly closing the distance between them. His years of training and manual labor gave his wings strong muscles, and great agility. His hooves wrapped around Discord's tail. The draconequus felt his energy drain, he grew increasingly tired and sleepy. His wings gave out and they both plummeted towards the ground. There was a shout of unbearable pain as the Amora's magic was ripped from Discord's body and soul. And the moment before they both hit the ground, Discord used his own magic to stretch time and space and blast the two creatures next to the alicorn sisters, Metus, and Ambrose.

The loud explosion of magic, sound, and light shocked Metus, distracting him from his spell. The words "I'll join you," were on the tip of Luna's tongue as she was in the deep trance. Metus's loss of concentration broke the spell and the color returned to alicorn's eyes and she reared back in rage and realization. "NEVER!" She roared and her horn glowed with a spectacular light. A blade of magical energy sliced at the surprised Metus. A deep gash appeared on his chest, and blood sprung forth soaking his fur. As the crimson droplets landed on his fiery mane they sizzled and evaporated. Metus's eyes clenched shut and he roared, stumbling backwards. His wings of flame and darkness snapped open, expanding to three times their normal size.  The land quaked, and the sky shook with the mighty eruption of sound. The bellow filled everyponies' ears, rattled their bones, and curdled their blood. His holler ceased and his eyes opened. His usually golden eyes, were now black with red flames dancing across them.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" His voice rang louder than ever. A mountain in the distance crumbled and fell. Deep, dark crevices opened in the ground. And the black cloud of dark magic above turned completely red with electricity. The power of his voice pushed Luna, Celestia, Ambrose, Leech, and Discord back several meters. A holographic image of Metus's horns was made of black magic. It floated into the air and a long, golden rode attached itself to the three sharp ends creating a trident of evil. The three headed spear shot towards Luna, but Ambrose leaped in front of the deadly weapon blocking the assault, and saving his love.

"NOOO!" Luna screamed. The third generation Malhornesi fell to the ground, skewered. Luna rushed to his side. She looked down, tears in her eyes, and Ambrose rose his right front hoof and stroked her cheek. He stared into her tear filled eyes, and spoke.

"Luna, I'll always love you." And with his final statement his body went limp in Luna's arms. She looked up at the pony of darkness, and hate and shouted in her own royal Canterlot voice.

"YOU BASTARD!" And with that she charged. All of Leech's mistakes flashed before him and he heard a voice as smooth as silk and as delicate as love itself. She has lost her love too. Rosetta's gone Leech, but what would she want you to do? Leech grew with the light of a thousand suns. His body disintegrated into a stream of pink magic that trailed into Luna's horn. Celestia then added her own magic to the mix, giving Luna strength.

Luna slammed into the malicious unicorn and driving her horn all the way into his chest. And as her wedding ring touched him it glowed with a light like no other. His body shined with a white light, his eyes became too bright to look at, and his three horns turned pink. An impossible force could be felt all across the Known and Unknown Lands as the lord of Tartarus's shell burst, and his mind, magic, and "soul" were forced deep into the fiery pits of the underworld. All the creatures that he had set free from Tartarus were sucked back through the large black doorway, and the great gates slammed shut. The magical shroud of black and red far above them faded from existence, letting the sun pour back in over the land.
