It was a beautiful day out in Ponyville. The sun beamed down with no cloud in sight, the birds chirping happily... it was safe to say that this was going to be a grand day! Or so it seemed, at the start.
But this doesn't start in Ponyville, or on Equestria for that matter. It started in the middle of space, on a large spaceship, which was the size of a large city. Within it held hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers that called themselves the 'Dark Matter Thieves'. They traveled the Universe, conquering and ruling numerous galaxies for generations. It was only a matter of time before they met Equestria, right?
The leader of the band was Boros, a 7'10" cyclops-like alien with light-pink, spiky hair and bangs that fell over his face. He had sharp teeth and pointed ears lined with a row of gold earrings. He had one large blue eye and light blue skin with dark blue crack-shaped markings that started from his eye and covered most of his body. He wore a set of armor with spikes on the shoulder and forearms and wore a pair of matching curved boots. He also had a red orb on his chest with purple markings on his stomach and arms. He wore a pair of white harem pants, held by a magenta-colored sash with silver-lined purple blades hanging from it. Despite his regal appearance, he was no King. He didn't fit such a title. He was instead known as The Dominator of The Universe.
Lord Boros sat on top of his throne, silently staring at the entrance of the throne room, eagerly awaiting an update on a possible new planet to invade. Coincidentally, Geryuganshoop, one of the Dark Matter Thieves Generals, soon contacted Boros.
"Splendid news, Lord Boros! We have discovered a new planet called... 'Equestria.' Fitting name too, as this planet is inhabited by some sort of Equus."
Boros raised an eyebrow to that.
"You're saying this planet is full of quadrupedal animals?"
Geryuganshoop cleared his throat.
"Precisely, my Lord. And from the looks of it, they are an advanced and civilized society. But they aren't the only race. It seems all walks of life can be seen on this planet, each one as civilized as the other.
Boros grinned a bit.
"How peculiar. But no matter, it shall be confronted by our unstoppable forces. Prepare to enter the orbit and make sure we get a clear landing."
"Understood, Lord Boros."
Geryuganshoop obliged, his voice fading out.
Boros then stood up and began to slowly pace the spacious throne room, his hands resting behind his back.
Back on Equestria, many ponies are just starting their days as the Sun arose brightly, joyously strolling the streets, minding their businesses, while many of the shops prepared as they opened up.
Twilight was inside, reading a book on Mushroom facts, Rainbow Dash was clearing the skies of clouds, Fluttershy was outside setting up a birdhouse for her bird friends, Applejack was shipping a trailer of apples into town, Pinkie Pie was baking various delights, and Rarity was sewing a new line of dresses. It felt like yet another nice day, with nothing out of the norm, every creature oblivious of what's to come in only a few minutes.
In Tartarus, both Tirek and Cozy Glow were within their intentionally eternal prisons, bored out of their minds as usual. Cozy Glow looked up at Tirek between the bars with a curious look
"Have we talked about... err... what we were going to do if we ever got out?"
Tirek glanced at her with a blank look.
"Yes. Numerous times actually. So much so that I have your plan down word by word in my head."
He sighed miserably, sitting down and looking at the filthy floor.
"Don't worry, Tirek! We'll be able to escape soon!"
Cozy Glow smiled brightly.
"And how do you think we will do that?"
Tirek muttered through his teeth.
Just as he said that, a black shadow engulfed the two, teleporting them outside of Tartarus instantly.
Not-so-queen Chrysalis, with her wood pieces with carved changeling faces, stood in the middle of the forest with a psychotic look on her face.
"One day, you'll see, I'll make Twilight Sparkle and her friends pay for stealing my KINGDOM!"
She shouted at a random piece of wood, laughing maniacally, before vanishing from the forest after the same 'shadow' engulfed her.
The three villains appeared in a dimly lit cave, far from any form of civilization for miles. Confused, they looked around, stumbling upon each other.
"Lord Tirek? Why did you summon me! What do you want?"
Chrysalis demanded, glaring at the two.
"Oh golly, we didn't bring you, I thought YOU freed US from Tartarus!"
Cozy commented, hovering next to Tirek.
"Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been a pony very powerful indeed."
Chrysalis added. They soon drew their attention to the front of the room as a black shadow appeared, followed by the cackle of another well-known enemy... King Sombra.
Sombra stood tall, a cocky look plastered on his face as he looked at the group.
"King Sombra? You have returned? Why did you bring us here?"
Chrysalis asked, stepping forward.
Before a word could be said, a new voice was heard behind them in the distance.
"He didn't."
The voice was low, grisly, and intimidating. Hoofsteps were heard getting closer, revealing the voice to be a blue ram wearing bells around his neck, but not an ordinary one. It was the legendary tyrannical ruler who used to once dominate the lands of Equestria and bring darkness along with him. He was an outcast ever since his defeat and never was heard from again, until today. The bearded ram made his way down the path, approaching the four Villains.
"It was I. You may call me, Grogar!"
He planted his front legs on top of a rock in front of his orb.
They all gasped in unison.
"THE Grogar?"
Chrysalis questioned.
"I thought you were a legend!"
Tirek exclaimed with shock.
"I have heard of you..."
King Sombra commented, appearing from black clouds next to Chrysalis.
Cozy glow flew up off the ground.
"Who?"
The four grouped around the rock to listen to Grogar and soon plan their return and revenge on Equestria and the Main 6. At first, this was going to be another fight between Equestria's heroes and their villains once again, but a certain ship was going to change up the entire scenario into something that Equestria has never faced before.
Lord Boros and his crew entered orbit, preparing a landing within Canterlot, which was coincidentally the "Capital" of Equestria, in many creatures' eyes at least. As it approached the planet, it became increasingly obvious that something was odd. Soon, the Sun's light was blocked out, shadowed by the sheer mass and size of the ship. Once the townsponies took notice, they began to panic, running away from the ship that was about to land right on top of them. The ship destroyed surrounding buildings to make wave, clearing out the area. Legs protruded from the ship to allow for a calm, smooth, and slow landing.
The large door to the ship opened up, a bridge slowly extending from it down to the ground. A few fodder warriors popped out, which were completely alien to the races of Equestria, clearing the area. Then, a large figure came out, one that looked much more royal and important compared to the other aliens.
"Yet another grand landing. Nice work, Geryuganshoop."
Boros said softly, humming to himself as he stepped out of his ship and walked down the bridge.
"So, this is Equestria? How nice."
He pointed at a random shocked bystander, which was a young, male grey pony, who went wide eyed immediately, stepping back a bit.
"You. Who is your ruler? You have one, don't you? At least someone who is of authority?"
The pony began to sweat as he stuttered.
"Uh-uh... um..."
His eyes darted around.
"SPEAK!"
Boros demanded, his voice shifting from calm to loud and demanding. His voice boomed across the area, striking fear into the ponies.
"P-PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA!"
The pony screeched out, cowering as he ducked.
"Nicely done."
Boros lowered his finger, a toothy grin on his face as he slowly approached the poor citizen.
"Take me to them."
"But-"
A hand covered the pony's mouth.
"I didn't ask, I demanded."
He said quietly in a lower tone.
The pony nodded, moving towards the castle very cautiously, Lord Boros following right behind him. He looked around at his surroundings along the way as if he were visiting some Museum like a curious child.
"What's your name."
Boros asked monotonously.
The pegasus pony avoided eye contact as he continued to walk.
"Um... Grey Skies..."
"Ah, what an interesting name. Do you all have similar names?"
Boros looked up at what he guessed was the castle as he spoke.
"I-I guess..."
Grey Skies replied, lowering his head.
"Don't feel so tense. I'm not targeting you, but rather your planet. Worst case scenario is your planet exploding into dust. Painless death."
Boros stated happily, still smiling. Though, this only made the pegasus even more tense and anxious, fearing death as it stood right next to him.
Boros then paused.
"I can take it from here. Make sure you tell your friends and family, and as a matter of fact, everyone you see, that you are about to witness history... tell them all to fear the name 'Lord Boros', the Dominator of The Universe. You can do that... can't you?"
He looked straight down at Grey Skies, a menacing aura coming off of him.
"Y-yes... sir..."
Is all he could mutter under his breath.
"You're dismissed."
Boros waved his hand in a dismissive manner.
The pony ran off as fast as he could. Boros cracked the ground below him, shattering it once he took to the skies, flying at impressive speeds right towards the Canterlot Castle.
"Geryuganshoop, order the warriors to start invading this planet, I'll be taking care of the Leaders."
"Of course, my Lord."
Geryuganshoop replied, doing as he said immediately. Thus begins the Invasion of Equestria.
