Full Summary: The Elements of Disharmony had been lost for 15 years until Stormcrasher, Lily Star, Sunburst, Flamestriker, Roadrunner, Courage Fighter, and Destinyseer stumbled upon them. The six elements yield power as strong as the Elements of Harmony and Magicseeker, a unicorn with dark intentions, plans to take over Equestria with them. While still learning how to control these new elements, the six ponies must protect them from the darkness that is Magicseeker at all cost. Even if it means they must become friends to do so.

Author's note: This takes place before the events of season 4. This is my first MLP, so please give me some suggestions on how to make this a better fanfic.

Prologue

Nestled behind thousands of trees and caves, there sat a small cottage in the Everfree Forest. There was not much inside. Only a shelf of spell books, a wooden table, six gems, a unicorn, and a pegasus.

"We need to get rid of them," the pegasus grumbled, opening and closing his wings. "Princess Celestia will not be pleased."

The pegasus had a tan coat and his cutie mark was a shovel. His mane was yellow and was very short. He had small pupils and sea green eyes. He was muscular, yet small and fragile.

Magicseeker jabbed him in the chest with her hoof before going back to wrapping six jewels in silver paper. The first was a diamond, the second was a sapphire, the third, an amethyst, the fourth, a ruby, the fifth, an emerald, and the last, a mix of an opal and a tourmaline. Though they were all shaped like real gems, they lacked the bright, beautiful colors and were replaced with shades of black, white, and grey.

Magicseeker, the unicorn, had a dark red coat with splashes of blood red. Her eyes were blue, gentle, and soft, yet she was cold and cruel. Her mane was pitch black and curly and she wore golden earrings in her ears. Her cutie mark was three black swirls in the form of a heart

"We can't, Cloudjumper!" Magicseeker snapped. Her reddish pink horn glowed as she placed the wrapped gems in a box. "The Elements of Disharmony are indestructible." She rolled her eyes at his confused look. "They can not be destroyed. And besides," She tapped the box with one hoof, "I need them to destroy the Elements of Harmony."

"But they aren't as powerful as the ones Princess Twilight and her friends possess," whimpered Cloudjumper.

"They will be," Magicseeker replied with a wicked smile which instantly shut him up. "Oh, they will be. I just need some bark from a Timberwolf."

"Are you mad?" Cloudjumper jumped back. "A Timberwolf?! How are you going to get bark from a one of those things?"

"Who said I was getting it?"

Cloudjumper trembled from head to tail as he crept slowly towards some sleeping Timberwolves. Why, oh, why, did he agree to this so long ago? To join Magicseeker on her quest to rule Equestria?

Because she's your friend, he told himself unhappily, stepping over a brown tail. And she'll use those horrible elements against you.

He sighed quietly, lifting his spear ever so slight at the sight of a flinching wolf. Cloudjumper's gaze soon landed on a small Timberwolf sleeping by a tree.

He gulped deeply, stepping towards it. He held up one of the Elements of Disharmony with his other hoof. It was the amethyst, The Element of Lies.

Cloudjumper edged closer towards the young Timberwolf, spear raised. Once close enough, the pegasus stabbed it in the back. It left a hole right through the wolf.

Instantly, it howled, waking the whole pack.

Cloudjumper froze, and for a minute he thought his heart stopped beating. He backed away from the little wolf as it reassembled itself. Timberwolves turned to stare at him, yellow eyes filled with hate.

He quickly grabbed the bark that the Timberwolf had missed and opened his wings to escape. Unfortunately, he was tackled by one of the wolves surrounding him. Snarling, the wolf opened its jaws, ready to come in for the kill and snap his neck.

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I'm going to die. Thanks a lot, Magic. He closed his eyes.

But then, a purple-grey beam shot the wolf in snout. It shivered before falling down into a pile of ash.

The pegasus blinked, spotting the Element of Lies on the ground a few feet away from him. He guessed he dropped it when he had been pinned. It was glowing purple-grey like the beam.

Cloudjumper nervously turned to the other Timberwolves. They all just stood there, staring at the ash of their fallen member of the pack. Using this distraction to his advantage, he picked up the gem with the hoof holding the spear and fled.

Magicseeker opened the cottage door to a panting Cloudjumper. She prepeared to ask what had happened, but thought better of it. She noticed the pegasus carrying bark and yelped in joy, snatching it from him.

"I am NEVER helping you again!" Cloudjumper cried as she dropped the bark into a heated black cauldron. "If it weren't for the Element of Lies, I would be DEAD right now."

The unicorn waved a hoof dismissively. "Stop complaining. You're alive, are you not?"

"Yes, but-"

"But nothing, all that matters is that you are alive and, more importantly, you have brought me my wood!" She sang the last part happily. "So how did my wonderful Element of Lies help?"

"It shot a beam out at a Timberwolf that was about to kill me and turned it to ash."

"Good, good."

"The weird thing is that the gem wasn't in my possession. I accidentally dropped it." Cloudjumper blushed at the last part. The unicorn had trusted him with one of Element of Disharmony and he had let it slip out from his hooves.

Magicseeker gasped. "No, no, this will not do." She opened the box of gems and unwrapped them. "The elements are not supposed to help others." Magicseeker dumped the elements in the cauldron. Cloudjumper followed her lead and put the Element of Lies with the others. "Luckily, this spell I'm about to cast should perfect them." She pulled out a spell book from the shelf with her magic.

Flipping through the pages endlessly, she finally stopped on one with scribbled drawings of the Elements of Harmony on the right page. Magicseeker gagged in disgust at them before looking to the words on left page.

She muttered the words into the cauldron, the red liquid inside began to glow intensely. Cloudjumper's eyes widen in fear. The Elements of Disharmony were in red bubbles and were slowly rising.

"This land shall feel my wrath!" Magicseeker cried out the last sentence, causing the six elements to blast out the open windows and door. When the unicorn saw this she snorted in fury. "Where are they going?!" She glanced one of the windows to see the Element of Darkness rush passed the many trees in the Evergreen Forest.

Cloudjumper shrugged. "Somewhere?"

She shot him a glare full of hatred. She looked down at the book she was reading. "I must've messed up a line. That wasn't supposed to happen!"

"Since your little jewels of terror are lost, I'm just going to take my leave." Cloudjumper hurried towards the door.

"Not so fast," hissed Magicseeker, using her horn to stop him. "I need you to find them."

"But they could be anywhere in Equestria!" Cloudjumper replied, struggling against her magic hold just as the spell book flipped to a page with a map. There were six glowing dots heading in different directions. Written at the top was Map of Equestria. There was a legend with the Elements of Disharmony beside it.

"Here." She shoved the book into his hooves. "Use this to find my gems."

"Bu-"

"You say but a lot, don't you?" Magicseeker whispered under her breath. "Just find them or I'll find a book to place a curse on you."

Cloudjumper sighed in defeat. "Fine."
