Dark Clouds

Prologue

Life was peaceful, kind and enjoyable, the ponies playing and cheering as the four Princess ruled over their own kingdoms. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of the Crystal Empire, Princess Twilight of Friendship, Princess Celestia of the Day and Luna of the Night. Of course, harmony was in order and chaos was not a speck to be seen. Over the years they grown older and wiser, learning new ways to keep peace and defeating enemies in their midst. But of course peace doesn't last long when a new threat decides to seep through the kingdom grounds.

First it started with creatures coming out from the Everfree forest and into the open, normally this wouldn't last long but soon it kept getting worse and worse when eventually the Obalocks came.Those vicious creatures tore up the whole place, destroying everything in their path and creating a sea of death wherever they fled. Nothing could be worse than those nasty beings, ponies and dragons themselves forced to flee under their homes, into their basement. Hopefully the Obalocks won't find you in the basement and pronounce the land unoccupied. And if you didn't have a basement... Well... Lets just hope your hooves can run faster than those Obalocks can see you.

The name isn't official as well, the creatures are so mysterious and dangerous that when their name is spoken they will appear to you. Of course it isn't proven but once the two Princess Sisters claimed it to be, all of Equestria went into a panic.

Eventually the Obalocks began to arrive into Ponyvile, the place where the Princess of Friendship lives. Hearing of the news, she recruited her friends to take up the dark and evil challenge. So they went out, trying to cover every spot they could, cleaning the Obalocks of their dreaded hate and evil. A few weeks later they went missing.

The Princess of the Crystal Empire, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, decided to step into the action and find her sister-in-law and her friends, leaving her husband with their daughter. Soon she was pronounced missing.

Now it was only the Princesses. The two sisters, fearful of the evil knew they could conquer it through their magic. They soon embarked on the journey, promising to return when the harmony has returned. Few more weeks passed when they disappeared as well.

What kind of evil could this be...? Could it be the return of Sombra? Terik? Nopony nor dragon knew of the matter.

The sky turned dark as clouds covered both the sun and the moon as no light could be see. Only thunder that roared through the sky and lighting the shined the darkened landscape.

Now it’s only us. The ones who have to fend for themselves. The Exorcists.
