chapter2: darkness rising

Twilight and Applejack went through town dressed in their new clothes and with their new abilities, ready to get the rest of the main six and turn them into darkspawn. It was day time in Ponyville so the Darkness was in a weak state but it still had enough power to retain the clothing. Also most of the ponies were still asleep "This light is killing me, hurry up and get me indoors already!"
"Quit your bitching you drama queen, were almost there."
"Applejack, don’t be rude to the Darkness, save you energy for Pinkie Pie."
"Ya ya your right, I’ll need all the energy I have to catch that salt addict."
"Ok were here, act professional."
The two ponies entered Sugarcube Corner. It was its usual bright and pink self, but as for noise, it was quiet with the exception of the sounds coming from the kitchen.
"I'll be out in a minute." The pink pony appeared from the kitchen with a pink, flour soaked apron. She took it off and draped it over a chair."Hhiiiieeee guys, ooohhhhh nice outfits ohoh there all black, is somepony having a bad day? Well you know what will solve that, a PARTY! I need to get streamers and balloons and candy and..."
"SHUT HER UP ALREADY! SHE’S GIVING ME A MIGRAINE!"
Both Applejack and Twilight interrupted "Pinkie, we need to talk to you."
"Oh, ok what do you want to talk to me about? Oh do you need me to keep a Pinkie Promise or do you need me to bake something?"
"No, nothing like that. Applejack, turn off the lights and close the blinds."
The room was almost completely dark except for the small amount of light from under the blinds. "Oh, are we playing a game?"
"It's more of an offer than a game".
Then Applejack and Twilight revealed there true form. Pinky tried to run from them but Applejack grabbed her by the back legs with one of her tentacles. "Now Pinkie, the more you struggle, the more painful it's gonna be. Now, we are here to offer you the chance of a lifetime, what do you say?"
"Let me go! You’re not my friends!"
"Wrong answer. Twi, you know what to do." With that Twilights Darkness head lashed out and gazed into Pinkie’s eyes with a red glare. Her skin turned gray and her mane turned to an ash black. Applejack let her go as she bowed before Twilight.
"Now rise, general Gray Ash."
"Of course master."
"Next stop, Rarity"

The three ponies neared Rarity’s house. Before they entered, a darkling appeared in the shadow of the house. "Master, oh master you have started quite an army master! While you were busy getting darkspawns I have been repopulating the darkling army, but we still need a base and a spouse to bring you a new child."
"I'll handle it but while you’re here, I need you to find somepony for me."
"Yes master, who do you want me to look?"
"Find me the Great and Powerful Trixie."
"Of course master, whenever you need me just say so." With that the darkling disappeared into a void of purple darkness.
"Enough stalling, I want some action."
"Relax Ash, stay focused on the target at hand".
The ponies entered Carousel Boutique. They saw that the last three elements. "Good there all here, this will be quick and painless."
"Painless for us that is."
"What the hay are you three talking about?"
"Why don’t we show you?" The three revealed their true form. Blood Apple tackled Rainbow Dash before she could fly away, while Ash used her tentacles to grab Fluttershy, and Twilight had her killing head go up to Rarity and grasped her neck. They were all tied up by darkness bounds.
"Time for the transformation ritual."
"Opal, stop her!" just then Opal pounced on Twilight but Ash grabbed her.
"Please let me kill this bug!"
"No, I have a better idea." Twilight grabbed Opal and wrapped it in her darkness tentacles. A bright, purple light enveloped her when she let go of it and revealed a darkling with sharp claws and teeth. "Now for my new darkspawn."
Each of Twilights darkspawns used their darkness heads to seep the Darkness into each of the prisoners.
Rainbows mane changed to several different hues of dark from pitch black to light gray and her skin became pitch black. She grew an all black chest armor and a black helmet "Rise, lord Typhoon."
Fluttershy’s mane turned pitch black and her skin turned a dark red. She grew an all black cape with thorns growing around her head and hooves. "Rise, lieutenant Screaming Rage."
Finally, Rarity’s mane turned into a darker purple and her skin went pitch black. She grew a cape with several diamonds of all colors like red, purple, and black "Rise, captain Conflict Diamond.” Twilight turned to face the others “Now that we have leaders, it’s time to get a base, but for now we must rest and await my darkling’s return."
All of Twilight’s leaders replied "Yes master." As they all went to bed, Twilight’s darkling returned.
"Excellent, your back. Did you find information about Trixie?"
"I got one better master, I know where she is."
