Lord Darkus began looking around in his dark realm feeling agitated. Not only has the upstart known to him as Lord Elemental and his host figured out how to unleash their full power, which allowed them to reseal the Shadow Gates that his brother/uncle Lord Eternis had made many eons ago, they've now have begun to use that power to seal of the other shadow gates in all the other universes. As he had been contemplating on how to finally be free to spread his darkness his thoughts began to go to one universe in particular that had caught his interest, one which the humans on Earth as well as within the Red Rock nation have called My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, where it was the only one that seemed to cause Lord Elemental to lose all of his Elemental powers save Aura and the fact that he and his host have been unable to go to the other alternate versions of said universe. That’s when he came with a plan, one of which he is certain will allow him to achieve his goal to plunge everything into eternal darkness.
“Dark Chronos,” with the mention of his name a figure appeared before Lord Darkus, with the only visible sign that he was there being the glowing yellow eyes that all Shadows possessed, “Yes my lord?”
“I have a plan that can thwart Lord Elemental from being able to stop me from unleashing darkness to the multiverses.”
Dark Chronos showed no signs of surprise or other emotions that all other creatures (including Shadows) possessed, but instead simply nodded, “And what have you come up with?”
Lord Darkus smiled as he looked upon his Champion. “I have come to the revelation that I might be able to thwart Lord Elemental’s attempts at stopping us from fully releasing from our realm. Do you know of the universe that the humans call My Little Pony?”
Dark Chronos growled at this, “Yes. It is possibly the only universe that we are unable to break the seal from this side. What is it that you’re implying?”
“As you may recall, Lord Elemental had lost all of his powers, except aura, when he and his host had first entered one variation of that universe. I have no doubt that they will be unable to enter into any of the other variations without the same event happening. Whatever caused this is likely to be present in those variations.”
“Are you implying that we create one to achieve our goal?”
Lord Darkus looks over at Dark Chronos. “Yes. I will create one by changing certain events in that universe which will contain my influence, but will not be easily identified when Lord Elemental’s warriors start to investigate this new universe. I’ll even take a human soldier from his universe as a means to secure a link so as you and the others are not forced to take on those pathetic pony forms. Though complications will arise when doing so but I am confident that you will take care of it.”
Dark Chronos nods, “Very well. What do you need us to do?”
“Oh I think I’ll do this myself, though I will take you with me. I will just change a few events in that universe’s history to where I will have some influence. Of course there may be someone already writing this down in that one universe that Lord Eternis has made sure that no one is able to enter that is completely normal, least to those mortals that live in it. We will see if this plan works but I have sent Anex to deal with another problem that I have found within one of the alternate versions of this MLP universe.”
“And what is it?”
“It would appear that Anex has found one variation that has a pony variant of Silver Scorpion who goes by the name Silver Hooves. But I know that the true name of this individual is Carlon Scorpus, much like all the other variants that we have found. If Anex is able to kill him, then all the others will follow suit and we will not have them interfering with us.”
“And what will you do?”
Lord Darkus gave him a smile that would terrify every living soul that saw it, “Why I am going to spread my influence,” With that Lord Darkus created a clone of himself, which had no power except to spread his dark influence into the hearts of mortals and immortals that showed signs of hatred or other dark emotions to use to his advantage. He then created a portal that will go to the new universe that he will make by his influence.
“Let’s go,” With that the clone and Dark Chronos went through the dark portal that will take them to their desired destination. “Aha ha ha ha, soon I will be free and this time Lord Elemental will be powerless to stop me.”
---------------------------------------
The two entered into the Halo portion of the universe that they were going to create. While looking over at the carnage being brought in his ethereal form, Lord Darkus spots an ODST with the cobalt color scheme trying to flank around the edge of the sky bridge between the two buildings that he and his firing squad were trying to escort civilians through while under heavy fire from the covenant. This gave Lord Darkus an idea.
“Dark Chronos stay here, I’m going to have some fun.”
He proceeded to one of the elites and spoke to it in its mind, “listen to me. See that human over there, I want you to kick him off the side of the building.” The Sangheili proceeded to do what it was told without even realizing that it had been ordered to do it or knew why and Lord Darkus watched in amusement as the elite snuck up on the human soldier and kicked him off the edge and continued to watch as the fallen soldier's comrades began tearing into the fool with a maelstrom of bullets as they’re rage focused on the sangheili. Lord Darkus then felt the energies he knew involved the creation of a wormhole that has most likely taken the fallen soldier into the alternate universe he plans to exploit.
“Now all there needs to be done is to go and make my move on those whom will serve an important role whether they realize it or not.” With that he made another dark portal with which he and Dark Chronos walked through.
