In the far reaches of the planet live strange beings. The Dragons of the Volcanic Wasteland. The Cutiepoos of the Mushroom Dimension. The Xenomorphs of Cybertron. The great Lionbirds of Lionbirdtopia.
-Lionbirdtopia. 200 miles past the Equestrian Border-
"COMMANDER CHIRPYCHEEPY, LIONBIRD CITY HAS BEEN DESTROYED" Cried Lt.Nestypie.
"Send out a squack alert to all bases. We will begin a counter attack on the Equestrians!" Said the triumphant Lionbird.
"No Sir....it's not the equestrians".
The Lionbirds flew high enough to asses the situation.
"Mother of....."
Lionbird City had not just been destroyed, it was gone. The once beautiful land it rested upon had been replaced by a cracked gray wasteland. Monsters and other evil beings roamed free, eating or murdering any Lionbird that had survived the initial destruction.
Commander Chirpycheep flew to the scene as fast as his lion wings could take him. Upon landing he was immediately overtaken by a profound feeling of hopelessness and dread.
Within the hour all life was taken from Lionbirdtopia.

Twix Bar awoke in a dimly lit unfamiliar setting. The sky was covered in a red sheet of clouds. The silence was unbearable. Twix Bar could hear every beat of her heart. She could hear the blood flowing through her veins. She could hear the short breaths of the creature standing behind her.
The creature was a large red centaur. "Hello Twix Bar, it has been a long time" said the beast.
"Tartarus Ricks, I should have known you were holding Marcopolypse leash" She said with a cocky smile.
"My dear Twix Bar, I had thought you smarter than THAT. I know non who could mach her power. No my friend, I am merely an escapee. A side effect of her true purpose" He held out his hand to the Mare. "You know what I want Twix" he said with a grin.
"As I told you 5000 years ago, I will NEVER join you" She blasted him with a shot from her horn.
Twix Bar found herself standing in a vast gray field.
"Do you think your old tricks would work on me" She asked with a proud tone.
"Now now My friend, I simply wish to educate you on the terror you are dealing with"
"5000 years ago you and Princess wayback locked me away beneath the Neverever Forest. As the years went by you sent more and more of your victims here with me. Although I became the master of this domain, it was still a prison. I, Tartarus Ricks, or as my followers called me, T.ricks, was completely powerless here. I commanded a vast army, yet had no place to march it. 200 years into my imprisonment she made herself known to me. I realized that YOU hadn't created this place, you simply claimed it as your own. She is the true master of Tartarus. For her it was not a prison, but a home. Her birthplace"
Twix Bar was taken aback by this hefty exposition. "You mean to tell me that she's NOT from another planet?" she asked with the intent to ask a question.
"She is not only from this world, but she is far older than both you and the first Princess. She may be the first living creature to ever live on this planet. I tell you this not to help you, but to show you the futility of your endeavor. You never could defeat me, so you locked me away. Now imagine a creature who is not only vastly more powerful than me, but calls your hellish prison home" He began laughing. Twix Bar was speechless.

Princess Sun awakens near the ruins of Western Pony Town U.S.A. All signs of her friends and the Vessel are gone. In fact everything was gone. Bits of ruble still litter the streets, but all of the buildings, and all of the ponies are gone or reduced to gray thin corpses. She fell to the ground and began to weep. Her kingdom. Her people. Her royal daily glass of scotch. All gone.
Above her a familiar laugh could be heard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight Purple found herself lost in the Neverever forest. A feeling of loneliness captivated her. The sound of barking could be heard.
"INTO THE DEPTHS WITH YOU" Screamed a deep but familiar voice.
Triple Head Fred, the great dog who guarded the gates of Tartarus, was before her.
"INTO THE DEPTHS WITH YOU"
The creature was confused by the changes happening. Tartarus was empty and strangely different than it had been just a day before. The beast was hunting the escapees, but was overwhelmed. It began hunting EVERYONE.
"INTO THE DEPTHS WITH YOU"
Twilight Purple attempted to reason with the poor thing, but it was determined to capture or destroy her.
Twilight shot at the beast with her new Alicorn magic (oh yeah Twilight Purple is an Alicorn now" but it didn't phase the beast.
Twilight decided to run for it, hoping she could find Swooty Bell or Princes Sun. Instead she ran right into another fleeing pony.
"Twilight. are you ok?" Asked Twix Bar.
"I think so, but Triple Head Fred has gone insane. We have to run" said Purple and she was really serious about it.
"Well we can't go THAT way beca--" she was cut off by the arrival of T.Ricks.
"I hate Mondays" said Twilight Purple.

The time had finally come! The planet would be reborn under her full control.
Marcopolypse stood atop Mt.Badguy, looking over equestria. "MY TIME IS NEAR!" She proclaimed.
The Volcanic Wasteland began to crumble. The rocks and Dragon Nests sunk into the ground. The Cracked gray earth rose in it's place.
The planet was inverting. Tartarus would dominate the surface. Eqestria would be damned to the terror and blackness of the underworld.
Her work was now half completed. The planet was split between the light and the darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She awoke at the bottom of the hill. She dragged herself to the top. Scootaloos gravestone had been destroyed.
"Hello Swooty Bell. It has been a long time" Mr.Miyagi was standing in front of the grave. He had karate chopped it to oblivion.
To Be Continued.
