"I can't believe we were ever friends!"

"You big meanie pants!"

"You're not allowed near my pets again!"

"You disgust me!"

"Why don't you do the world a huge favor and fall into the Realm of Darkness?!"

"You see? Nobody cares, and they never will. If you disappeared, nothing would change. Everyone would be perfectly happy if you never even existed."

"..."

"Goodbye, 'Plen'. Please leave, and don't come back."





You wake up from your nightmare, but you weren't startled, by now you were used to the same night terror night after countless night. You crawl out of the box you were sleeping in and view your surroundings; you were in an alleyway somewhere in Canterlot City, you don't know exactly where, just that Canterlot High School was half a mile away from where you were. You came back after a long journey and prepared yourself for this day: the day you get your revenge on the students of CHS.

Today was supposed to be the quad-yearly Friendship Games, you scoff at the title, nothing has ever been friendly between CHS and Crystal Prep, the two schools that compete. Then again, nothing was friendly about Canterlot High after you left, you began to think if anything changed while you were gone, but shake your head in dismissal and disbelief, you made the mistake of opening your heart to friendship and allowing people in, only to get hurt, it's a mistake you won't make ever again. You look up into the sky and noticed the sky was being covered with dark clouds, you hoped it would storm, giving your return a more ominous feel.

Deciding that you've stood around doing nothing long enough, you pull the hood on your black coat over your head and walk to school.

Only this time, it's your former friends who are about to be schooled.





Shortly after arriving, you had just witnessed the rise and fall of Midnight Sparkle, a being born from the darkness of Twilight Sparkle, a student at Crystal Prep. She was defeated by Sunset Shimmer, who, somehow, harnessed the power of light. You couldn't believe this, Sunset Shimmer, the biggest bully in all of CHS, was the hero? Seeing this farce made your blood boil inside of you, but you kept it repressed, not wanting to go all out until the time was right.

After the bright light died down, Sunset and Twilight, with their hair messed up, stood before the students of both schools with the latter looking regretful.

"I am so sorry," Twilight said as tears escaped her eyes, "I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

"I know." Sunset smiled genuinely, greatly unnerving you, "And going by my own experiences...they'll forgive you."

Sunset took Twilight's hands in hers and they both smiled, but you saw right through it.

Now was the time to make your move.

"LIES!!" you scream, making everyone in the vicinity gasp in shock and turn your way as you point an accusing finger at Sunset, "You're not worthy of forgiveness!"

"And why is that?" Sunset asked, confused.

"Why? Why?! WHY?!" you were trembling in anger, unable to hold it back as darkness began to shroud you, "During your little blackmailing spree, you stole everything from this school, EVERYTHING! Including its people! You're nothing but a Queen of Thieves, sitting alone on your stolen throne!!"

"How dare you?!" Rarity said, "What gives you the right to speak to our friend that way?!"

She and the rest of your former friends stepped forward, glaring at you.

You just chuckled, "Are you THAT desperate for friendship that you blackmail these girls to be your friends?"

"But Sunset hasn't done any of that in a long time!" Pinkie said.

"It sounds like you know us." Fluttershy theorized.

"Of course I do, after all..." you pull your hood back, making the girls shocked, "...I am your former friend."

"...Plen? Is that you?" Applejack asked.

You scowl, "Don't call me that. I cast that name aside years ago. My name...is Empty Abyss." you hold out your hand and summon something nobody would've ever thought you'd have.

A Keyblade.





"You...have a Keyblade...?" Applejack asked, breathlessly.

You pointed your Keyblade at Sunset, "It's time to settle the score: The Queen of Thieves...versus The Hero of Darkness!"

You readied your battle stance and charged forward.

"THE NIGHTMARE ENDS HERE!!!"





















To truly see the end, one must first start at the beginning.
