Darwin: Prince of Beasts.

Twilight woke up in the same room, only for nothing but instruments left behind. She got up and began to leave, but stopped as she felt a weird tingling in her back. Probably something she learned from Pinkie Pi, but it was sadly confirmed, as she heard what was claws scraping along the floor and something was sniffing on the floor for her.

"Where are you?" A low, growling voice asked, making Twilight tremble. She began to slowly back up, sweating, as she heard the scraping claws growing louder & louder with each step.

Elysium has peaceful animals, right? Twilight tough to herself T-there aren't any dangerous things that want to kill me, right?

"I can smell you!" The voice spoke again "Your afraid, aren't you? I can smell your fear quite well! You have what I want!"

"W-What do you want!?" Twilight asked, her voice breaking in fear, still backing away. She felt her tail land on the wall, and she looked to the sides, seeing only instruments surround her. She looked above, seeing not the silhouette of what looked like a dog like creature, having a red glow in its eyes.

"You already know what I want." it replied with the same eerie voice. Twilight only watched in fear as the creature leapt from above, landing above her and turning towards her, growling lightly. This creature had the wings & horn of an Alicorn, but it's front legs were paws, back legs looked like that of a lizard, it's wings looked more like a bats, it's tail was that of a shark, mane was untamed & was white while the coat was dark brown, and had sharp teeth in it's mouth. If not for Eris, this may be the father of Discord, as it's muzzle and eyes are clearly shaped like a male stallion. The animal-Alicorn hybrid pounced at Twilight! Twilight screamed and moved out of the way, making the creature hit the wall with a loud slam! She quickly ran away, seeing the creature get up and began to chase her! She sprinted as fast as she could, but this creature wasn't giving up at all!

"HELP!!!" Twilight screamed "Somepony!!! Help me!!!" She passed many of the Alicorns she meet, each taking a step back as she and the monster ran through the hallways. She stopped, sliding towards a corner, then turned around, seeing the creature, drooling at her hooves.

"You know what I want!!!" It spoke.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!?!?" Twilight replied, taking a deep breath of fear, as the monster got close to her face. She closed her eyes and flinched, feeling that she was going to die in, strangely though, the place where ponies go after they die.

"... Can I have a treat!?" Twilight opened her eyes, then turned to the monster, who sat on it's haunches, panting like a dog.

"...Excuse me?"

"Can I have a treat!? Please!?!?!? I'll be a good boy!"

"...A treat?" The monster began to do quick twirls, wagging it's tail happily!

"Oh yes! You have one in your mane! Can I please have it!?" Twilight stared at the creature, but then, with her right hoof, looked through her mane to find the treat mentioned. She felt something and pulled it out: a piece of cheese."

"...It this the treat?"

"YES! YES! YES! THAT'S THE TREAT! CAN I HAVE IT!? PLEASE!?!?!?" Despite frightening looking, this monster acted like, well, a pet. Twilight chuckled a bit, wondering if he will act like a pet. She smiled as she felt a bit mischievous.

"Alright then. First, sit!" The Alicorn sat on it's haunches panting while looking at the piece of cheese. "Stay!" She walked around the alicorn, as it stayed sitting, turning it's head around and watched her every move, being patient, but drooling. "Alright... Talk!"

"*WOOF!*" it barked. Twilight turned her head in curiosity.

"Alright then, You've earned it." The alicorn charged at her, panting heavily. "Hey! Nice." She used her magic and levitated the cheese to it's jaw. It stood still opened it's mouth & extended it's tongue out, and allowed the cheese to land on it's tongue. When it landed, it shut it's mouth and moaned softly, enjoying it's treat. Twilight walked around the alicorn, seeing his cutie mark was a simply paw print.

"Thank you so much! It tastes so good!"

"I can see that. Who are you?" He swallowed his treat, letting out a sigh of relief, then got up and walked next to her.

"Name's Darwin: Prince of Beasts."

"Beasts? You control animals?"

"Not just that, but I also have many of their natural abilities. My apologies if I scared you, Twilight Sparkle."

"I take it the animals you control make it hard for you to think from time to time?"

"It does, I'm not gonna lie."

"But... can Flora control animals as well?"

"She does with her plants. Have you seen what Catnip does!? Took me at least seven years to get away from that stuff! And for Tartarus to believe I am the perfect predator."

"Wait! Tartarus... made you with a plan?"

"He sure did."

"...I take it you're going to show me?"

"I was going to tell you, but if that's what you insist."

"NO! WAIT-" Darwin's horn glowed orange, and Twi saw that happened those many centuries ago.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tartarus walked around his kingdom, not even caring where he was going, only focused on one of each representative, trembling in fear on the bottom of his hoof.

"THEY DID WHAT!?!?!?" Tartarus yelled

"It's true!" The changeling queen replied "Many of your subjects plan to attack you, then each other!"

"We tried our best!" The Minotaur added "Really!"

"You do realize at my size, I can crush you all easily in one swift move, right!?" Tartarus growled at them.

"It's not us!" The centaur pleaded "It's Elysium! She's using some of her men to join them! Giving them food and drinks!"

"And you allow this to happen!?!?!?"

"NEVER!!!" the Diamond Dog pleaded "They snuck past us with no signs of trouble!"

"And how would you know that?" They all turned to the Diamond Dog, who began to sweat nervously.

"Uh... I'm... just... uh... guessing?"

"LIAR!!!" He used his magic and levitated the diamond dog, who began to squirm. He lowered his hoof and the others got off, watching him walk away with the traitor in his magic.

"PLEASE!!! Don't hurt me!!!"

"Oh I'm going to do more than just hurt you!" He marched straight ahead, going into a cave that he easily fitted in. Under a light was a cage, holding one of each traitor from the races that bowed to him. He used his magic and began to levitate all of them. Chuckling came from him, as his horn glowed, and they all screamed in pain! "And now, I hope with you all combined together, you'll become my ultimate servant!!!" They all screamed in pain, as they were all brought into a red, glowing orb An explosion was followed, making Tartarus cover his face, but he smiled, seeing what he made. Right in the middle of where all the traitors were at, was another Alicorn. He was brown all over, had a black mane & tail, and only had fangs in his mouth.

"W-where am I!?" He asked. He gasped as Tartarus levitated him to his hoof.

"So this is what happens? Shame... I expected something different."

"Who are you!?"

"I am your father! Tartarus! The king of this land! And who are you, son?"

"...Darwin."

"Darwin!? What a weak name! I hope your talents make it up for that." Darwin growled at his father's remark

"I'm gonna make you eat those words!"

"Poor choice of words!" His horn glowed and Darwin began to float & shrink in size! He looked in fear, as his father opened his mouth, and he was being gloated in. He began to try to escape, but Tartarus was too strong for him! In a few moments, Tartarus closed his mouth and swallowed Darwin.

Darwin fell into his father's belly, hitting the floor bellow.

"LOOK!" Eris yelled "Another one! Aw, he's so cute with those fangs."

"CUTE!?" Darwin yelled in anger.

"Who are you?" Braveheart asked, walking to his bother. Darwin got up and growled at his siblings.

"It's... Darwin."

"Darwin!?" Fuego replied, laughing. "That's a weak name, senior!"

"Don't push me!"

"Or what?" Eris replied "You're going to make a stain on the floor?"

"Perhaps he needs a toy!" Conduit added, having control over his electricity in the years.

"Please," Mortality spoke "Let's not be too harsh on his name."

"Oh boo hoo!!!" Aeros replied

"THAT'S IT!!!" Darwin yelled. He pounced on Eris, and the whole area turned into a brawl between all of the siblings.
