My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Starlight, Starbright

Chapter 8

Dark Plans Revealed

50 years.

It took 50 years to get his plan together, to get the pieces into place. and now, it was coming true. Setbacks after Setbacks, failure after failure, and his children. Gah, they all turned out to be failures that he’s personally ashamed of.

It seemed like so long ago that his plan started to come together. Hard to believe it was only 18 years. He knows cause that was the same time THEY had appeared. The knight and the 8-headed dragon.

18 years earlier…

The Black Pony yelled as yet another plan was foiled. “AH!!!” he used his magic to destroy half the audience hall. “NO, NO, NO!!!” another blast destroyed the rest of it. “This isn’t how it was supposed to work!” he stormed off as the screen played Trixie casting the spell that turned everyone human.

“Argh! I hate that Unicorn!” he bucked his throne into a wall, causing the screens to shatter.

He used his magic to destroy another wall, this one having dozens of pictures on it, including Derpy, Trixie, Rainbow Dash, Octavia, Lyra, and even Chrysalis.

When the dust settled and cleared, the Black Pony was heavily panting. This anger spout really did a number on him. He calmed down and used his magic to repair the damage he had caused. He used his magic to move the pictures back into place.

A faint chuckle echoed though the hall. The black pony heard it but ignored it. He put the pictures back up on the wall. The chuckle came again, louder this time. He glanced up to the rafters but didn’t see anything.

He walked back to his throne when the chuckling came a third time. He quickly turned and fired up into the rafters, blowing them up.

“My my… such a temper on you…” a cold female voice said.

“it’s scary. Very scary.” a deep male voice added.

“Who are you? I demand you show yourself!” the Black Pony yelled.

“Tsk tsk tsk. Temper, temper. One day, that will be the end of you.” the black pony heard the sounds of rushing wind and bursting flames behind him. He looked to see a pillar of dark fire appear. The clinking of armor followed as a dark knight walked out of it. “you should really learn to control it.”

“Who in Tartarus are you?” the Black Pony demanded.

The same rushing wind and bursting flames came behind him. Another person, this one not wearing armor and having VERY weird hair came out. “WE… are the answer to your prayers.”

The Black Pony was unconvinced. “what?”

“pardon my colleague. He‘s a bit… stupid.” a different voice said out of the same body. “Collective, we are known as Orochi. The armored behemoth behind you is Tsylatac.”

The black pony calmed down and stared at Orochi. “what do you want?”

“we’ve been watching you for some time.” Aqua said. “you quite powerful and… quite temperamental.”

“is there a reason why you’re here?” he asked.

“Yes, there is, actually.” Terra said. The shockwave from Trixie’s spell reached his castle and turned the black pony into a human. He expected this coming his way and wasn’t surprised when he turned. “and that… isn’t one of them.”

“it’s nothing. But what do you want?”

“We have a proposition for you.” Tsylatac said as he walked to the pony’s throne. “we are… in need of your powers over shadow. It’s quite a useful ability that, if used right, can be harnessed.”

The pony scoffed. “thanks, but I got my own agenda.”

“is that so?” the knight sat down in the throne and the screens came on, showing the human-turned ponies walking up and discovering their naked forms. “such as… conquering the planet with a army of your own children. Tell me, how’s that working out?”

How could he have know that? The pony looked away from him and towards the photos on the wall. “not well…”

“none of them are turning out like you planned, right? With them not ending up being so dark and evil as you?” Ignis asked.

The pony stayed quiet for a minute. “just what are you doing here?”

“We’re here on a venture. Someone on this planet is a key we need. Unfortunately, the gods of this world, what you call Zax and Jeria, turned it into a organic mess and is now integrated into the bloodstreams of a number of creatures on this planet, you and your bloodline included.” Glacie’s little tale got the pony’s attention as he slowly looked up. “we require that key to help us with our ultimate goal.”

Ultimate goal? Sounds enticing. “which is… what, exactly?” he asked with curiosity.

As I am not going to spoil what their ultimate goal is, I will say that it is something of this ponies high evil caliber to be enticed by. Enough to say yes.

“hmm… that… is ingenious.” the pony said. “better then conquering this little mud ball. I’m in.”

“perfect.” Fulmen said, all cheerful. “and since you’re the newcomer, what plan do you have in mind?”

The pony thought for a moment and had something but he wasn’t sure it would work. The Knight sensed this. “Lady Kyra mentioned that we need a time user, Fulmen. Someone who can pause it, rewind it, more forward. Basically do anything and everything a time user can do.”

“oh, that’s right.”

“A time user?” the pony asked.

“Indeed.” Tsylatac pulled out a pocket watch and dangled it in his hands. “I obtained this from a time magician on another world. It has his powers. Unfortunately, we have no clue how to activate it. We only know how to transfer it’s powers into another object.”

“what does that have to do with me?”

Tsylatac chuckled and got up from the throne. “if someone evil and malicious as you obtained the powers of time contained in this vessel, he or she could become a powerful ally.”

“So you want me to impregnate a mare?”

“Indeed.” Lucis said. “And from what we saw…” he summoned up a staff and pointed it up to the screens, pointing it at a human who was once a lavender unicorn. “she is the prime candidate.”

“why not the princess’s?”

“too powerful. They’d see though you in a second.”

“Besides… that Unicorn is set to become a Alicorn, or so we overheard from the princess’s. she’s powerful and surely her offspring will be powerful.”

Wow. This is quite a bit of a stretch for him. “so… you want me to impregnate this Unicorn with my seed so that her offspring can use power over time which will be given to her by that watch. meanwhile, we work to find a way to obtain the key spread throughout the world that is inside ponies, including me. Is that what I’m getting at?”

Both the knight and Orochi nodded.

“hmm… okay. So, what, I should go knock her up now?” he asked, opening his own dark portal.

“no. wait until she becomes a pony once again then work your magic, so to speak.” Tenebrae said.

“and when she has her child, do not kidnap the kid right away.” Ventus said. “We have to wait for her powers to solidify and improve. This process will take a long while and will very likely take a couple decades.”

The pony scoffed. He waited this long to try and conquer Equestria. What’s another 20 years? “I can wait. But when should I come ‘back’?”

“We’re figure that out when it comes.” Tsylatac said.

“plus… while we’re here, we… want to have a little fun.” Aqua said.

“What kind of fun?”

Orochi, all 8 personalities, chuckled evilly. “You’ll see.”

The dark pony turned to leave when Glacies stopped him with a question. “by the way… what’s your name?”

The dark one turned his head to him and smiled.

“it’s Sombra. King Sombra.”

The entire following section will be in Sombra’s FPS view.

Sombra watched as Twilight, Trixie, and Derpy walking down a street in the Gryphon Kingdom capital, only to find themselves surrounded by several ponies working for a house of ill repute. He ducked back into the alleyway he peaked out of and quickly headed to the other side.

He saw a lime-green Pegasus walking down the other street, carrying a couple of movies with him. He memorized every part of his body and took his form.

He relocated to the house of ill repute and walked up to where Twilight was taken. The door opened to see a Unicorn at the door and another one down on the floor, chained to it.

“be careful with her. She’s feisty.” the Unicorn said.

Sombra chuckled. “Good. I like Feisty.”

Present Day…

Sombra looked over that day and confirmed that he did do everything right.

“we got the key, I gave them all a show by sending Dark Chrysalis at them… we did everything right. Nothing can go wrong now.”

Sombra headed down into another part of the castle’s basement and walked into a dark room lit with a green light. The light was coming from the tube in the center with another Alicorn floating in it.

This one, however, was artificially made and has no feelings except for anger and a lust for destruction.

“It’s been a long road but it’s finally coming to pass.” he pressed a few buttons on the console connected to the tube. The liquid in it was flushed out in a rapid pace. “you are to accelerate Starlight’s journey and make sure she arrives here faster then she planned.”

The liquid was flushed out completely. The tube hissed and it opened. The Alicorn fell out, coughing up the same liquid it was floating in. Sombra placed a green gem around it’s neck with his magic.

“you are to use any means necessary to further her journey. Is that clear…” the pony rose up and opened his eyes. “Chaos Gun?”
