Chapter 1:
Embrace the Darkness

Note: Italic words will be the darkness speaking.


"I need a new body you sniveling monkey".
"Yes master I understand that, don’t worry I wi-"
"Don't worry? Don't worry?! I am dying and all you can tell me is to not worry? I need a new body, one that is strong and has lots of meat!"
"Yes my master. As I said before I sense a strong creature nearby. One that will be way better that last host."
 "Yes, you said that an hour ago. You’re just lucky I can also sense it."The darkling and the darkness looked out to Ponyville. All the lights were out except for the library were you know who lived.
"I sense the creature, ohhhh it’s so powerful and..... young, I think it’s a teenager, and it's fresh, virgin fresh, she will be perfect."
"How do you know it’s a girl."
"I just know, females give off a different aroma then males."
"Then let’s get you a new body master." The darkling and the darkness moved on to Ponyville, ready to get a new body, and bring darkness eternal upon this new world.

Twilight laid on her couch in the library reading a horror novel no less. Spike was off in Canterlot helping the princess with her personal experiments. She received a letter earlier that day about an experiment to open a hole into another dimension. The letter went on to say that they brought a creature and a serpent like monster. So as you would expect, she was a little more than uneasy with the thought of a monster coming into Ponyville and killing everypony.
She did her best to push the thought out of her head. After getting through 10 chapter of the book, she decided to go to bed. As she was walking up to her bed, she heard a crash. She turned around to see her window was smashed open and a small imp like creature was there as well as a serpent.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" The creature leapt forward and tried to grab Twilight, but she zapped the creature with a bolt of lightning which struck the darkling down to the ground but it got right back up. Then, while she wasn’t looking, the serpent grabbed her and wrapped around her like a boa right before it kills it's pray.
“*grunt* Let me go, whatever *grunt* you want I will give it to you, no *gasp* questions asked."
"The only thing I want is your body, you see I am an almighty creature called the Darkness and I was chased out of my previous host not a few months ago. He rejected me and casted out all the gifts I gave to him. I was on the brink of death, but thanks to your little princess, I am free and ready to start a new reign of terror, starting with a new host, a new body, your body.”
"What? Look I don’t care what you are or how powerful you are, you can't take over my body.”
“Who said I was asking? The darkness looked Twilight in the eyes and started to blast a red glow into her eyes.
With that act her soul was starting to become corrupted. For you see, you can only have the darkness by either being born with it, or by accepting it into your body. As the corruption entered her body, Twilight started to lose the bright purple and it started to turn into a darker purple and her cutie mark turned into two darkness heads swirling into a bright red crack that looked like the depths of hell itself.
"How do you feel Twilight Sparkle, are you ready to bring the Darkness into your life and bring me a army strong and mighty, in which to conquer this land?"
"Yes, give me the power." With that the darkness started to seep into her. Two serpent heads sprouted out of Twilight’s back as well as several tentacles.
“Now it's time to raise an army my new host.”

The new and improved Twilight headed to Sweet Apple Acres to convert her first darkspawn. She had a long, all black cape that had a small flap covering the back of her head. Think of her gala outfit except all black.
It was still dark out but Applejack fell asleep near one of the trees. Twilight neared Applejack and taped her on the shoulder to wake her up. Applejack lifted her head up to see Twilight in her all black uniform.
"Oh, howdy partner, what brings you near this neck of the woods so late?"
"I could ask you why your sleeping on a tree but that’s not why I’m here."
Applejack had to double take when she heard Twilight talk. She sounded very gruff, like she was a soldier that saw a thousand battles. "Twi, are you ok? You look worse than me during applebuck season. Maybe ya just need to rest, come lay next to me."
Twilight laid next to Applejack. For a good minute there was no noise, they just stared into each other’s eyes. "uuumm..... I like your new outfit. Did Rarity make it? She’s always making outfits. Most of them are too frufu for my taste but thrall still good looking."
"No, Rarity did not make it, and that’s not why I am here. I’m here to offer you a proposition."
Applejack looked at her questionably. "What offer do you have in mind?"
“Well, what if I told you I had the power to make you all powerful? I am here to invite you to the army of the Darkness as one of my generals."
Applejack looked at her with wide eyes "Look Twi, I don’t know what is wrong with you but I’m not joining an army, especially an army of darkness"
Twilight looked at her with an evil grin on her face. "I wasn’t giving you a choice.” Just then one of the heads sprouted from the cloak and grabbed Applejack by the neck.
"*grunt* Twilight, what...are...you...doing." ´
"Giving you the gift of darkness my little apple." The other head gassed into Applejack’s eyes and started to corrupt her. She resisted but eventually gave in and submitted to the Darkness. As it entered her body, her skin turned into a fire orange instead of a bright orange and her mane turned to pure black. Her cutie marks changed into a darkness head with an orange streak across its head were its eyes would be. Slowly an all black jacket with spikes on the solders and an emblem, similar to Twilight’s new cutie mark, on her back as the suit grew around her. Some dark tentacles grew out from her back.
The head on Applejack’s neck let her go as she rose to a bow from her sprawled out pose. "Now raise, general Blood Apple"
"Yes my master." This was the start of an army, and the start of the conquest of Equestria.
