Author's Notes:

Due to the fact this is the first time I started writing on my phone I decided to proofread and fully edit my story. This should be better then the original I posted.

Feedback is appreciated!

“What do you do when your whole world is ripped away from you? From someone who did it because they could? When pure human emotion takes hold of what others claim to be good people. Greed...hate...and an unquenchable thirst for power…I am Erebus. This is MY story.”

Velocity, Stone and Gloom sat in the meeting room deep within the side of a hill thanks to Erebus.

This meeting room had been located inside of the Everfree Forest, however was rather well hidden and protected by mutants and such.

“Where is he?” Stone asked growing impatient, “patience Stone. He'll be here soon.” Gloom spoke as Velocity snorted.

“And what makes you think you can make Stone stay silent newbie? I'm still questioning why the hell you are even here in the first place,” Velocity spoke, venom and hate coming from her words as Gloom narrowed her eyes at the pegasus.

“I want to help in Erebus’s efforts, the princesses need to be taken down a peg anyway. Their so certain that good and the light will prevail when the darkness shows up...it disgusts me.” Gloom retorted.

Velocity rolled her eyes at the unicorns explanation, “you sound like an angsty filly.” She said as Stone chuckled.

“Her attire doesn't help either.” The rocky earth pony spoke as Gloom growled, in agitation she slammed her hoof into her chair.

“Do you want to start something?” She asked as Velocity stood up. “Maybe I do! I had to save your flank before, but I'd much prefer to kick it-”

The confrontation was cut off as Erebus appeared in the room, silence filling it as the cyborg mare sat back down. Erebus taking his seat and looking at them, “any progress with your separate missions?” He asked them.

“I got the Amulet. That zebra didn't even know what hit her when I took it…” Velocity said sliding the Alicorn Amulet onto the table.

Erebus looked at Stone who slid a plethora of gems onto the table, “I do not understand why I had to take these from those disgusting Diamond Dogs...” he grumbled under his breath.

“Because I knew without anything to fight you wouldn't be interested in gathering them.” Erebus replied as Stone turned away, "I would've done it anyway..."

“Gloom?” Erebus called as he looked at the unicorn, who slid a massive scale onto the table. “From the largest and toughest dragon in the dragon kingdom..” She said.

Erebus reaching for the items only for Velocity with blinding speed to seize them all, “ah ah! You haven't explained our plan! Don't think I forgot!”

Erebus looked at her and narrowed his eyes, “your interference is rather inconvenient...however I shall reward this act of foolishness ONCE.” He said as he put his hands on the table and spoke.

“Unlike most humans I lived a life of wonders...having two successful movie parents can do that for you. Suppose they could've watched me better however. As I got older I started...seeing things, a world on fire with another human standing at the peak of it all laughing. Naturally I was confused, until I came to an Equestria...my Equestria. No special powers...no special attributes...nothing.”

“I loved my time there more then anything life on earth could've provided me, I had everything I could've asked for...until they came…”

“They?” Velocity interjected raising an eyebrow, Erebus giving her a hard cold stare. Silencing the cyborg.

“It was two displaced...someone or something removed from their own home and sent to another, however the two were battling it out. I forgot to mention heh, back on Earth I was quite the nerd. Two key things I noticed on that day, one of them had a functional Omnitrix and the other looking exactly like Ben 10’s Eon. Naturally this caused a confrontation, the Omnitrix wearer fighting without a single thought about the ponies of my Equestria. Killing ponies without regard because he considered it not HIS Equestria…”

“Naturally this tore me apart...watching my home...the ponies I cared about being mercilessly slaughtered by them! Finally...after days the fighting finally stopped. The Omnitrix wearer had been returning home via a teleportation device, but I did not allow it...I stopped him and without thinking killed him. Quick stab through the neck with a dagger I had made myself for such an occasion.”

“Nobody I've ever met felt that void I felt watching my whole world burn, that is when I found the body of the Eon displaced, taking his equipment and modifying it to fit my own personal preferences. I discovered from that day, the way to save the Equestria’s I come across from the pain of the displaced. Is one of two things, destroying them...or capturing them. Most Equestria’s fought alongside the displaced in attempts to stop me, none were able to stop my onslaught of terror. And with the items we have now...this Equestria will fall into the same darkness mine did when it met that god forsaken Omnitrix wearer…”

The ponies around the table looked at Erebus who stood up, Velocity speaking up. “That still does not explain what the hell we're building!” She shouted slamming a hoof down on the table.

“Velocity shut the buck up…” Stone mumbled as the mare shot him a glare, “I will not comply without knowing HOW we're going to win!” She shouted at Erebus.

Erebus looked at her and said coldly, “you do understand Velocity, replacing you wouldn't be impossible. And with the modifications I made to your body I could just easily kill you by removing your life support systems and slowly watch you choke on your own blood."

Velocity looked at him and got in his face from the table, “try it…” She growled.

Erebus grabbing her by the ear and disappearing with her.

“Where did he go?” Stone asked as Gloom shrugged.

A sound could be heard above them however, “wait...wait what are you doing! WAIT BOSS I WAS KIDDING!”

Velocity’s voice could be heard, a buzzing sound along side her voice. The buzz however sound like the buzzing of a buzzsaw starting up... "OH SWEET CELESTIA! EREBUS STOP! NO! NO! NO-” Her screams only increased as the sound of the blade cutting through flesh filled the room, Gloom shivering at the sound and closing her eyes.

Stone’s eyes widening as he looked away. “STOP PLEASE! THIS IS TOO MUCH! Celestia...help me…”

“AIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!”

Her squeals of pain were increased tenfold and eventually were silenced. The meeting room being filled with complete and utter silence before a portal open up, something plopping down onto the table.

Gloom opened her eyes, and immediately vomited. “Sweet Faust…” Stone said.

It was the heart of Velocity completely sliced in two, Erebus reappearing in the room his gloved hands dripping with blood. “Take this as an example, I can easily replace the lot of you. It’s an inconvenience, not an impossibility, and don't ever misinterpret those words. ” Erebus said gathering the items Velocity had been keeping on her side of the table.

“I shall be in my workshop, Gloom prepare the Hunter. We're sending it back out into the field, however not after Nick. We're attacking the Crystal Empire in a few days , possibly a week or two. All depends on how fast I finish my project.” He said warping away.

Never in Gloom’s life had she heard something so awful...but she had to comply. “You should probably get some rest Stone...we're gonna have a long week ahead…” She said as the earth pony nodded walking out of the meeting room.

Gloom walked off alone that day, the screams still in her head as tears of fear swelled in her eyes. She was terrified, did she make the right choice joining Erebus..?

She galloped deeper into the Everfree forest, Erebus hanging in the trees watching her. “Not now...I need to be sure to know if I need to strike her down, I will no longer tolerate noncompliance. Velocity’s first mistake. Was thinking we were equals.” He said teleporting away.

Nighttime fell over Equestria, Nick and Eris fast asleep cuddled up next to eachother smiling happily.

Erebus watching the two from a nearby building, a look of disgust underneath his mask. "Do not worry Nick...your happiness will soon end...nothing lasts forever..." He growled his arms crossed.

An alarm going off on his wrist gauntelt, "unification of the two materials is ready..." He said before looking up at the sky at the stary night and namely the moon. "Now for one more thing." He said as he disappeared yet again.

Reappearing in the castle of Canterlot, Erebus stayed against the wall. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the bed room chambers of Princess Celestia which was guarded. 'Around this time of night Luna should be out dream searching while Celestia rests.' He thought as he put his hand against a wall.

A moderately large blue portal appearing and swirling as he stuck his arm through, a large energy blade plunging into the neck of one of the guards. It slicing through his neck armor like butter.

This alerted the other guard however, Erebus an the portal disappearing as he pinned the guard down. His hand cupping over the guards muzzle as a type of gas filled his nose, "shh shh shh..." He whispered softly the pony's eyes glowing a bright blue as he looked at Erebus who pointed to the door and handed the pony a needle.

The guard nodded and walked into the chambers of Celestia, who was sleeping soundly completely exhausted from a hard day of her royal duties.

Walking up to the side of her bed the hypnotized pony stuck the needle in Celestia's neck and drew blood from it.

The princess jolting awake,"Commander Storm-Breaker! What are you doing?" She asked him.

"What he wants..." The pony said in a zombie like state as Celestia narrowed her eyes at the vial containing her blood. In which it was quickly snatched by Erebus who landed on the ground and bolting for the glass doors which lead to a viewing point.

Celestia still a bit groggy jumping out of bed and giving chase, firing a magic blast at him in which Erebus easily dodged and fired from the wrist of his gauntlet a small dart which struck Celestia's chest.

Sending her to the ground her vision grew blurry as Erebus looked himself over. "This new equipment is a trip. Thanks for the blood donation Princess of the Sun." He said giving her a joking two finger salute before crashing through the glass doors and leaping over.

Celestia eventually passing out only able to listen to the sound of her guards coming to her aid.

Erebus fell fast as he looked at the ground, then looking at his wrist gauntlet. "Time for some work..." He muttered as he disappeared on his usual bright flash of blue light into the night sky.
