//------------------------------// // A Sinister Return // Story: My little Pony "Dragonic Guardians" // by Orudios //------------------------------// Somewhere Deep in the Forest on the Outskirts of Ponyville A dark Figure Moves through the The land with a Dark Purpose This Dark Figure Slowly Crept through the woods until it Stumbled upon an entrance to the Cave but not just any cave this was the Cave that Housed the Tree of Harmony they Current Resting Place of the Elements of Harmony and place of original to the chest of harmony and The Rainbow Magic Castle. Inside the Castle the Tree and Elements Glowed With a Rainbow Hue it glowed so bright with Magic of Friendship and harmony as strong as ever, The Dark Figure stepped forward into the cave drawing closer to the Tree Revealing a Black Cloak concealing the wearer. "Finally after all this time, Now Princess Twilight Sparkle, You, and Your Friends shall PAY for my humiliation you handed me! I had it! All the Magic of Equestria was in my Grasp, till your Friends and your new Rainbow Power ruined it all! But my plan is coming to Fruition, I have learned from my mistake and now Vengeance will be mine! My Return is at hand now that I know what must be done! soon You and all pony-Kind Will Tremble as the things that bring you Hope will bring your DOOM AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH" The Cloaked Figure brought its 2 hands together charging a Red sphere of magic and soon it became Bigger and Bigger till it was the Size of the Creature itself than Launched it at the Tree. Causing a sinister reaction the Tree's Light Grew Darker as did the-the elements as their colors soon fade the magic seemed to be coming out of them and the Tree as well and the Magic headed toward the intruder Than the Beams hit the Creature Straight on however something Strange happened the Creature seemed to be Getting bigger it wasn't being affected by the magic it was ABSORBING THE MAGIC! "With the magic of Harmony at my Command This time Nothing Shall stand in my way the one thing used to defeat me twice is now mine to command this time ill finally Finish what I started I'm Coming For You Princess AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" "Gasp" Twilight Gasped Awake in her new Bedroom in the Castle "Twilight What is It," Asked Spike sleeping in a Bed Besides here alarmed awake by here sudden outburst "Oh, I.....I-Its nothing Spike I just....had a bad Feeling. "Oh must have just been a Nightmare, Let's go back to sleep." "I guess," Said Twilight as the young Dragon went back to sleep, "I Wonder was it a Dream," The Princess of Friendship said to herself looking at the window in here room unable to shake this feeling of uneasiness "What ever it was I Hope this doesn't mean Something bad is Coming" Than the Princess got back underneath the Cover and soon fell asleep but Still with a sense that Something wasn't Right. Off in the Distance Flashes could be seen coming From where the Tree stood a Dark omen a sign of what may be Pony-Kinds Darkest Hour . . . . . . . . . . It was morning and Twilights and her Friends were all togeather having another panckake Breakfast to make up for the one Twilight Slept through under her New Chandaler made from roots of the old library, Everyone was just sitting down having talks about their most recent adventure when a knock came right out of the room. "Knock Knock anyone home," Said an all to familiare voice form a certain Blue zoid standing in the door way "Do I smell pancakes?" said Windsatalker poking is head in the door-way behind Breaker "Oh hello Boys why dont you all come in" Twilight Invited "Yeah Were havin ourself some mighty fine pancakes," said applejack "Dont mind if we do. Hey fellas, EATS!" he shouted into the hall way and then the other 3 dragons appeared right behind them and then all 5 entered the room miraculously it was big enought to accomidate their new guests "Looks like the gangs all here," said Red-eyes "So what are we having", "pancakes said Breaker" "Oh dont mind if I do" Then the other dragons sat themselves in betwwen everypony and spike and began to dig in though unlike everyone else they just sat on the floor "If you boys want I can get some seats for you ask twilight concerned for her new guests" "nah were good" said Stalker "Yeah dont worry about us Twi were comfortable" breaker assured "well if your sure and soon everyone went back to eating thankfully pinkie made a surplus of pancakes just enough to make the dragons statified after Breakfast everyone walked off into the main hall "yum that was pretty good" said Stalker "Indeed" said blue eyes "i have got to get that recipe" if you want stalker you can drop by sugar cube corner and and ill teach you how to make "Pinkie's suprise cupcakes" pinkie offfered "If their anything like you im sure their amazing" Stalker replied taking this oppertunity for Flirt with the Pink Pony "Oh stalker you old Charmer you" pinkie returning the gesture "Ugh" Said Red eyes "Shut up" Stalker hushed him "Anyway so what shall we do now" Breakers asked "Well because of the Festivities last time we didnt quite Finnish out Tour of Town Maybe we could finnish up our little tour " Blue-Eyes Suggested "I think thats an excillent idea Blue-Eyes "twilight agreed "Than it settled Lets move out! Red-Eyes said as he lead the group toward the exit. Everyone was heading out than suddelnly in the Map room one of the Crystals iside Surged with magic energy But not just any magic this was Difderent magic it was filled with Negative energy. Breakers sencors notices the small spike alerting the metal Dragon "Huh...what was" Breaker looked to his right looking at the closed door to the map room the metal Dragon was baffled a quick flash of energy than Gone like it was never there "You felt it too didnt you" The words from the Magical Blue-ish White dragon snapped him out of it "You too huh" "Yeah" Breaker Answered "whats was that" "I...I dont know it felt like magic" Blue Eyese answered But magic is plentiful here "this magic was diferent it was....negative, sinister.....Dark" "Dark magic here"? Breaker was Suprised "Its possible twilight said their were those who used magic for evil purposes remember" "Yeah but she said they were all defeated and besides whatever was their is gone now still...I got a bad feeling about this" "Me too I think we should be on Guard just in case" Agreed" "We'll tell the others if we feel it again, but for now maybe we should just keep it between us it could worry the others and its possible its nothing" Said Blue-Eyes "yeah i dont want everyone getting all worked up espeacially now that were welcome here" Breaker Agreed Than a voice ranging from down the hall bringing both dragons to its attention "Hey guys hurry it up or well leave without ya" Yelled Red-Eyes "Huh impatient isnt he" breaker said "You dont know the half of it" Blue eyes said jokingly and so the 2 dragons rejoined the gang and they head out staring at the center of Ponyville and continuing form there the whole day all 12 were enjoying all ponyville had to offer From Sweet Apple Acers to Sugarcube Corner to the Carrasell Boutique and more they went though the whole town meeting all kinds of ponies some still showed some hesitation and a bit of fear ,But it was nothing compared to when Breaker first appeard. Before they knew it The sun Started to set. "Ahhh well its getting late I guess we Better Hit the road" Breaker yawned his exaustion showing "Yeah I got a long day of hunting tomorrow" Said Red-Eyes "Than we'e better head back now while its still light out" Suggested Blue eyes "You guys will come back Right" Spike said a bit worried "Consider it a Promise kiddo" Breaker assured bringing releafe to the little dragon "Well lets head out" Said ice dagger being the first to take off and with the others following right behind "Well see ya guys, Buy Fluttershy" Breaker waved to them and took off after them "Hey spike keep things in check till we get back" he said over his shoulder "I Will!" he said waving good buy to his new dragon Brothers "Hey Wind Stalker hurry it up" Red-eyes shouted "Hey wait for me dont leave me behind you Punks" Said WindStalker making a rushed lift off carring Loads of pastries from sugar cube corner he was Espeacially Fond of Pinkies Cupcakes "See ya later you Wind Charmer, Call me" Said pinkie waving him Bye "Check ya later pinkers" he said over his shoulder saying bye to his new "Close friend" and soon all 5 dragons were out of sight and twilight and the others head back to the castle "Well Girls that was Fun So I was thinking to Celebrate our New FriendShips how about a sleep over at the Castle" Said Twilight "YAY" said the Main 6 as they went to the castle soon they were in but they did not know something had consumed the whole Castle filling it with the strange energy Breaker and Blue-eyes senced earlier Twilight lead the others in the throne room "Ok we need Games Snack Pillows- WHAT THE!" Twilight Looked at the room and saw it completely changed the floor was now a Sinister Red the Crystals were now dark in colors of black and Red and sharp to the touch The white symbol in the center was not black and in the shape of an old Foe and all 6 Thrones were Destroyed save for one in the far end of the room turned away from the Main 6 "Its been a while Princes Twilight, I see you've all made some new Friends and a new home since I was here last" "Who are YOU" Twilight Demanded The Throne turned revealing its occupants making Twilight and the others Gasp with horror "I..I-IT CAN BE!" Twilight could bearly speak "Tirek"! "What is he Doing here" Rainbow Dash shouted "I just Came to say Hello, and for soemthing else a little thing called Revenge" Said the Centar "I doesnt matter How your here or Why We Stopped you once We can Stop You again Come on Girls" Said twilight as all 6 ponies came togeather Side By Side "Rainbow Friendship Power" Said all 6 ponies as they tried to activate Rainbow Power the Same force that Defeated Tirek Last time. Tirek Just looked on With a self assured Smile on his Face as the 6 ponies were enveloped in the Rainbow Glow the power of Friendship enveloping them however once it got to its Brightest The light of the Rainbow Started to Fade "What?!" Said Twilight Shocked What Happend" Said Rainbow as the others looked at twilight Confused "I-I Dont Know Our Magic of Friendship has Never Failed Before T-This has never happend Friendship has allways come through for Us" "Hmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm " Came a sinister Chuckle "What have You Done!" Twilight Demanded "You think I learned Nothing From my Last Defeat Princess Im Terrible Dissapointed in you. Unlike You I Learn from my mistakes. I saw How your Friendship was the Key to my Defeat, the Key to the Magic of harmony the same magic that Seduced my Weakling Brother. It was the Last Ace up your sleve even though you didnt know it the one thing that stopped me even though i had the magic of all Pony Kind including Discord's. Well I Simply Cant let you use it again now can I" Tirek Explained as he Rmembered their last encounter "You May have defeated me last time but I Didnt forget to make Sure I had another chance as you sent me back to Tartarus I used the last of my magic on the Portal to tartarus so some time in the Future I would have a way Out once i gathered enough strenghth it took some time but with patience I knew I would have my Revenge that thought alone is what kept me Strong" "And that is why I am here, as for your magic I made sure to strike at the Heart of your power Before anything else Before I came here I paid a little Visit to the Tree of harmony after encoutering the magic of harmony last time it was Hard not to remember it so its magic was easy to trace once their i absorbed all the Magi in The Tree of harmony answell as your sacrid Elements of Harmony Now The magic of harmony is Mine and With IT I'AM ONE THOUSAND TIMES FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN I WAS BEFORE. I Really Should Thank you Princess without My Defeat at You and your Friends Hands i Never would have know How Power Full i Would be come and For That....." in the Blink Of an Eye Tirek Rose and with Great Speed Chaged at the Mane 6 and Grapped Twilight in his Claw By the Throut Horrifying the others. "I Thank You" "Guuagh Y-You Wont Get away with This P-Princess Celestia and the other Pricnesses W-Will stop You" Said Twilight Barly abel to speak if not Breath. "I thought youd say that" Tirek Snapped his FIngers "So made sure to pay a visit to her First" A Magic orb appeared in it the other 3 Princesses as well as Shinnig Armor and Discord their magic already Drained making everyones Eyes Widen in Shock and horror "Three Princesses Down.....Once To Go." "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" SCREAMMED TWILIGHT AS TIREK SUCKED THE MAGIC RIGHT OUT OF HER ADDING TO HIS ALREADY AMAZING POWER "TWILIGHT" Scream Flutterhsy and the other as they could do Nothing to save their Friend and could only watch as the last of here magic was absorbed by Tirek causing her to fall unconscience and with that he let her Go letting her Fall to the floor. Seeing her Not moving at all the others Russhed to her Side fearing the worst however as the got scloser they could tell she was Still Breathing. They other were Shocked but Glad she was ok but this breif Repreavie would Come to a quick end as tirek loomed over them. "Thats 1 element Down 5 to go and I want the whole Set" "Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun" Cried Apple Jack as she hiked Twilight over Her Shoulder not wanting to leaver here Friend Behind with this monster and all 5 onther ponis Took of as maximum speed the only one who didnt was Spike the poor Dragon had seen So much so fast the little Dragon Froze with Fear as the other Ran Past Him "Spike Come one" AppleJack ordered seeing the Dragon just stand in the Midddle of the Door way luckily her words seemEd to snap him out of it "Ugh What" Spiked looked behind him than ahead of himself and saw Tirek Charging at full speed unable to do anything the little Dragon just got on his knees and covered his head awaiting his Fate However the Rouge Centar Flew right past him Ignoring the little dragon Completly instead Grabbing his next Victim.....Applejack. Just like Twilight Apple Jack was Grabbed by the Throught and had her magic Personnaly Drained and left to fall and with her the magic of Honesty Next was Rainbow who tried to put up a Fight with a Kick Dive but it was easily Deflected with a Magic Force Field sending her back leaving her at Tirek's mercy and soon Loyalty had Fallen and the others had Followed soon after Starting with Rarity than Pinkie and Finally Fluttershy. Now Tirek had EVERYTHING The magic of Harmony was his the power of all the Princess's and the Mane 6 along with Dicords and Shinning Armores and he knew.....He Won! "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH FINALLY IV DONE IT ALL MAGIC IS MINE NOW AND NOW SO IS EQUESTRIA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA" With is Laugh Echoing through the Castel Tirek Luanched himself to the roof of the castle Busting through the Ceiling. Once on the Roof having Created enough noise a small audience gathered "Attention Equestria Your Master Has Returned! I have once again Gained all the Magic of your Beloved Princesses but now I have gained the Magic of Harmony as well!" His Decalration gained more attention as more and more onlookers appreached Fear and Despair filling their faces Everypony Knew that if what he said was True the Reign of Tirek was Nigh, Equestria was DOOMED. "Even Your Champions the former Elements of Harmony have also Fallen before Me Now my Time has Come" With a Wave of his hand he summoned the orb containitn the Princesses and the other but now Twilight and the others were now in the orb Being show to equestria as if some kind of Sick Trophy "Now Equestria..." He spoke again his voice Dripping with Venom "You Are..... MINE!" With his last words he Dove Down And Began Drainign the magic of Everyone in Ponyville and soon all equestria would be His it seemed Truly all hope was lost Tirek had taken their Greatest Deffence the Magic of Harmony and turned it into the Weapon of their End. From the entrance of their Castle only one watched as all others were Drained....Spike his power being so small was no were near large enough to defeat Tirek the little Dragon watched as once again his home was Destroyed. As he watch Tireck Drained the Magic From ponyVille's Citizens he saw the Castle changing Seeing this he Jumped out of the Castle afraid it would affect him too, as he looked back he saw the once Shining Castle of the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Turn into a Dark Twisted Shadow of it Former Self. No Tirek had Taken Everything form him Not only His Home, his Friends, Rarity, his "Family", EVERYTHING Nothing Left this left the little dragon to the point of Tear as sorrow engulfed his Heart. However The little Dragon Felt something else inside him No sorrow or Fear....Anger, and Rage. He Took everything and it wasnt the first time he took his home however that anger soon gave way to hoplessness as he saw Twilight and the others suspended at the top of the Dark Castle imprisoned in that magic orb and soon heard the scream of the Citizens as their was no way to stop Tirek now. It seems it was over.......He Won. Than the little Dragon remembered something, Something that Maybe Just might be their Last chance at Freedom.....Dragons! Spike Rmembered the Power of the Dragons their unimaginalble might and yet all he saw was just a Fraction of their power soon the whole plan came togeather in the baby dragons mind "It Just might work" he said to himself if he can get to Breaker of any of the other Dragons they and tell them whats happened maybe Just maybe if they chose to Fight they just might be Stong enough to beat Tirek even at his most powerful. The odds were slim he wasnt sure how Powerfull Tirek would be now than again he wasnt sure how powerful his Fellow Dragons were eather. The only Problem is how or where to find them They can all fly But he Cant, but he did rmember what direction they took of in and began to think" If I remember Right path as the same direction as the annual Dragon Migration!" Than that was IT spike would take the same path he took on the way to the Migration hopefully the others would meet him half way since they said they would return As the Screams from ponyville started to fall silent Spike knew if whas going to do Something He HAD TO DO IT NOW! Taking one last look at his poor Friend so helpless espeacially Rarity a sight that tore the small dragon apart but he knew he had to be Strong Now More than Ever Spike was EVERYPONY'S AND EQUESTRIAS LAST HOPE. Not able to pack any Provission for the Trip Spike just took off a Full speed in the Direction of the Dragons having to cut Striegh thought town to follow them Precicly However his mad dash did not go unnoticed as he ran thought town Tirek had noticed the little Dragon as he Drained the last of ponyvill's Citizens. "Where do you think your Going" Yelled the Tyrant Not wanting a snack no matter how Small to Escape Tirek fired a magic Blast at the Poor Dragon Spike knew what he did didnt look back and just kept Running untill instinct told him to JUMP. Luckily he listend, doing so seems to have spared the dragon and that mad jump left the path of the blast. Leaving it to hit the Ground. On the Floor Spike Regained himself as he looked back and saw the Creater the blast made. And farther away was Tirek coming Up fast knowing he cant be Caught Spike once agian kicked it into Overdrive and went for cover using the Forest and brush to shield himself from any more assaults. Not wanting to Waste time and magic on such an insignificant Creature Tirek Gave up the chase believeing the little Dragon was just leaving his friends to their doom as he Got away, nothing to worry about. "Hmm Run Little Dragon Run Equestria is mine and you have no Place Here, Now than, I think ill drain the Crystal Empire Next than finish up canterlot" with his magic he took to the Skys towards the Crystam empire. Meanwhile Spike continued running untill he little body Couldn't maintain the Speed he Kept Running and stopped having to fall to his knees to catch a breath. "(Phant Phant Phant)" Soon once he had caught a Breath Spike went through the plan in his mind again "Ok Ok I got away now..... I just have to find Breaker and the others if I don't.....Its over" His Eyes narrowing with Determination the little Dragon picked himself up and With Courage and Determination he retraced his steps of the great Dragon migration in search of the Last hope Equestria has, they need Power, not The Magic of FriendShip but THE POWER OF THE ULTIMATE BEAST.........DRAGONS.
