I have been mediating in the Crystal Temple without stop, only for food and water, no interruptions. It’s been a few days and I’m not aware what has transpired. However, that stopped when something snapped in my mind. I instantly shot my eyes opened.
‘That energy…its pure evil. I sense Insanity and Chaos within this pony…Perfect.’ I thought.
I smiled darkly and I teleported away, heading to a special area.
I appeared in the ruin castle of the royal pony sisters. I was looking around, trying to find the exact location of the dark energy source. I didn’t need to look far because a sword almost hit me and hit the wall, it was deep into the stone wall. I looked to the source and see a Unicorn. She looked a lot like Twilight, but she had a purple coat, blood red mane and tail with Black highlights. Her CM was a cross with a four pointed star behind it, the left and right were the only parts of the star exposed, the tips with exposed from the top and bottom. She had red eyes and I realized she was the one I was looking for.
The mare said in a dark but sweet tone “Hello baby, who are you?”
“I’m Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna and King Sombra, brother of Charming Thunder, husband to Rainbow Dash, Emperor of the Griffin Empire, and Leader of the Phantom Consortium. Who are you?”
The Mare greeted “The name is Brutwilight Sharple.”
“Tell me, are you alone?”
Sharple replied “No, I have some ponies with me known as Drowned Brutalight, Cadenza, and Shadow Rush.”
“Do take me to them. I want to see them for myself.”
Sharple motion to me to follow her and I do. We go into the throne room and I see three new ponies in the room. The first one was an alicorn, teal and black for her coat, she had purple makeup around her eyes and she had blue eyes. Her CM was a black upside down cross with white aura around it like an eagle diving. I noticed she had a guitar with her, it was black and had blue streaks on it. The 2nd pony was another alicorn who resembled to Cadance. She had a white coat, her mane and tail was red, blue, and yellow. The gold on her was splashed in blood streaks. Her eyes were lavender and her CM was the crystal heart but it was red and behind it was 2 swords crossed. Finally, the last pony was a Pegasus and a male. He had a black coat, red mane and tail, he even had a red hat on his head, his eyes were red. His CM was a teal alien symbol on it. They noticed me and Sharple enter and looked at us.
Sharple said “Hey mates, I’m back with a pony who somehow knew we were here. Danny Eclipse, this is Drowned Brutalight, Cadenza, and Shadow Rush.”
“Pleasure to meet you three.” I replied.
“Likewise.” Drowned replied. “How did you find us so fast?”
“I was mediating in the Crystal Temple until suddenly, I felt a zinging feeling in the back of my mind and came here as quickly as I can. Come now, I’ll take you to our secret lair in Equestria. It’s not that far from here.”
They huddle up close to me and we teleported away.
We appeared in a room that was filled with Battle Droids. They were surprised to see the droids, except for me. I looked up to the command center and climbed up it and see General Grievous. He turns to me and kneels. The others see the gestured.
Grievous greeted “My lord, we have a report.”
“Alright, what is the report?”
Grievous reported “Our Imperial Spy who had accompanied Serana has reported back. Turns out, Harkon did have the Bloodstone Chalice as you predicted. Our Spy is a Vampony, mixed with the blood of a Vampony Lord and normal Vampony.”
“Well, what of the Chalice?”
Grievous continued “Our Spy was tasked to fill it and he did so to gain Harkon’s trust. There was attempt on his life from 2 vamponies who were hired by Harkon’s advisors but they turned against each other, our Agent killed them both while they were at each other’s throats. He returned the Chalice and met with Harkon again, this time, he reported that Harkon is after a moth priest.”
“A moth priest? But aren’t they located in Canterlot?”
Grievous replied “Indeed but Harkon had spread false rumors about the discovery of an Elder Scroll, which managed to attract the attention of a Moth Priest.”
“If they get their hands on the moth priest, this will end up bad!”
Grievous reassured “We send a battalion of Commandos to retrieve the Moth Priest, but they have failed to report back.”
A TX-20 came up to us.
TX-20 reported “Sir, our scouts had located a data pad at the hidden camp we had placed the moth priest. We analyzed it and discovered that our agent had taken the Moth Priest with Serana. Don’t worry; the Moth Priest is now our Agent’s Thrall is will obey his every command.”
“That’s good news. At least we don’t have to worry about the priest.”
We began to hear beeping and Grievous activated it. It was the hologram of a Vampony who was wearing Black Vampire Armor. Next to him was Serana.
“Agent Vanguard, report your progress.”
Vanguard reported “Lord Danny, I’m honored by your presence. Anyway, me and Serana have discovered that Harkon needs three Elder Scrolls to activate his goal. Harkon managed to discover another Elder Scroll’s location for the ‘Dragon’ part. It happens to be located at the hidden ruins underneath Canterlot itself. He’s sending Vampires to retrieve it. However, the 3rd Elder Scroll that was taken by Valerica is still missing.”
“We may yet be able to stop Harkon in his tracks.” I said with some confidence. “Grievous, contact Duran and tell him to lead an assault force down to the Underground Ruins below Canterlot. I’ll need to inform the Princesses and Charming about the change in events-“
Vanguard: “But sir, there is more.”
“What is it?”
Vanguard reported with grimace “Harkon had received a transmission from somepony named ‘Spell Nexus’ and he has reported that he managed to locate Nightmare Moon and has restore her back into power.”
“WHAT!?! We need to alert Celestia about this immediately!”
Vanguard asked “What shall our next step be?”
“Agent, I need you to locate the 3rd Elder Scroll before Harkon does. When you finish that task, you must have the Moth Priest read it in private to you. When you finish reading the prophecy, report back.”
Vanguard replied “Yes sir.”
The Transmission ended. I began to call the number to Canterlot. It was a bit before the transmission opened, but to my shock, it wasn’t Celestia or Luna, it was Nightmare Moon!
Nightmare said “Well, well, well. If it isn’t my son, Danny Eclipse.”
“Hello Nightmare Moon…”
Nightmare replied “Looking for Celestia and Luna? Unfortunately, they are no longer in control or ruling Equestria. Twilight and Charming put up a good fight though…too bad their under arrest and put into the dungeons.”
My anger grew and my eyes began to glow red.
“Hurt them and you die to my hooves. The Phantom Consortium will destroy your forces and retake Equestria!” I shouted in anger.
Nightmare reassured “Don’t worry about them; they are being treated like royalty down there. As from now on, from this day forward, the night shall last forever! And this is a new beginning of my new Empire, The Nightmare Empire!”
“We will fight to our last breath.”
Nightmare said “Its war then…”
“Seems like it.”
I ended the transmission and turned to Grievous.
“General Grievous, send out a Red alert, alpha red. Tell the Consortium…” I paused for affect “…go to war.”
General Grievous nods and begins to head out to give out the alert. I looked at Sharple.
“Brutwilight, you are now my official Sith Apprentice. I’ll just call you Sharple for short and you will receive training of the Sith from me. I’ll be your master in learning the ways of the Sith and the ways of the Force and Lightsaber. Do you accept?” Sharple nodded and kneels to me. I turned to TX-20. “TX-20, I have a set of instructions for you to do in order. Contact Admiral Matthew and tell him to round up any Equestrian Empire Loyalists and take them here. Then, I want you to contact the Crystal Empire and tell them what has happened. Tell them to double the guards, double the defenses, and double everything. Nightmare must not take that Empire! After you finished that, I want you to organize an elite squad who are ready for a rescue mission. When you finish doing that, get me and I’ll do my part.”
TX-20 nods and begins to do those instructions. I took Sharple and we went to go do some training.
‘I hope Rainbow is ok…’ I thought with sadness.
