//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Birth of Darkness // Story: Anti-Loyality // by SlayGuy295 //------------------------------// It had been a year since they defeated Monster X. Days have passed since their epic adventure. They've defeated the mighty Tirek, made their own gigantic castle, helping so many ponies with their friendship issues, and allowed Starlight Glimmer to be a new member of their group. The main seven were having a time of their lives. All, except for Rainbow Dash. During the days of peace, everyone were feared by her appearance after her recovery against Monster X. Even Scootaloo couldn't even speak to her before and after the Cutie Mark Crusaders got their cutie marks. Only her best friends support her. Sadly, after Starlight moved in with Twilight, Rainbow just disappear. At Rainbow cloud house, she stood outside of her house and staring at the open. Wind blows through her scratch ear while tears coming out of her scar eye. She remembers all the faces of every ponies in Ponyville with scared looks, including Scootaloo, giving her only silence. Then, the moment by herself is over. She spoke without turning around, "What do you want?" Behind her was her best friend, Twilight Sparkle. She responded, "Rainbow... me and the others are worried about you. We haven't seen you after Starlight move in with me. Is there something wrong Rainbow?" The pegasus shook her head furiously at her dumb question. She yelled while she turned towards her, "YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG TWILIGHT!!! As you don't know, that every single ponies didn't even talk to me since I return from Canterlot! Not even Scootaloo didn't talk to me!! And she is my sister!!" "Rainbow-" "SHUT UP TWILIGHT!!! You don't know what I have been through!! None of this would have happened if you were strong back there against Monster X, so I wouldn't have these stunkin scars!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT TWILIGHT!!!" Twilight was heartbroken by her friend. "My fault? My fault?! Rainbow... I try my best to stop him, but he was too powerful. I try my best to protect all of y'all. Now here you're blaming me for this." "Don't play dumb with me Twilight! I know that we had a hidden form and you gotten yours before all of us! How come you didn't used it before I became like this?!" "Rainbow, I didn't even know that I have it. I didn't know that we can do it. Rainbow, I am so sorry for what happened to you." "Apologize rejected!" The young princess was hurt by her rejection. Tears were running from her eyes. "Please Rainbow, I am so sorry for what happened to you. I wish I could fix this, but I don't know how. I'm just happy you're alive and I didn't lose you." "Well... you just did." Finally, Rainbow fly off and enters the Everfree forest, leaving her best friend alone, heartbroken. Twilight whimpered to herself after her best friend left, "I am sorry Rainbow. I am so sorry." It's raining during the night time. Rainbow Dash was wandering through the forest while raindrops were hitting her. She stopped and began to sob. She not just sobbing over being feared by everyone, but for hurting her best friend. She spoke to herself while tears were running from her eyes, "I don't belong here. I don't belong anywhere." Suddenly, she heard a voice echoed her name. The voice sounds similar to Scootaloo. She began to rushes towards the voice. She stopped at the cave, where the voice was coming from. She entered the cave and searched around for the pony. Then suddenly, the cave was closed behind her. She turned and try to pushes out of the cave. Then, a light flashes in the cave. She turned and noticed nightlight from the mushrooms. She began wandering through the cave, slowly and cautiously. She cried out, hoping there's someone in this cave. Out of nowhere, she was blasted by a dark beam. When the blast hit her, her whole body was stunned and couldn't even move. While she was struggling to break free, she roared towards the attacker, "WHERE ARE YOU COWARD?!! SHOW YOURSELF NOW!!!" The unknown attacker appeared with wearing a shadowy cape, hiding his identity. He spoke sinisterly, "Well, hello there my little pony. Sorry for my hurtful blast." He freed her from his magic. She slowly got up. "Well... here's my hurtful introduction." She rushes towards the attacker and punch him in the face. The stallion then release a powerful blast at her, pushing her furiously towards the wall. Now, she lay helplessly before the evil stallion. He spoke calmly, "That wasn't very nice." Finally, he revealed his identity to her and she recognized him. It was King Sombra, former ruler of the Crystal Empire, before she and her friends defeated him. Rainbow was breathless by his reappearance. She spoke, "K-K-KING SOMBRA?!!" Then, he slowly walked towards her, smiling. "That-That's impossible, you were dead. I sawed the Crystal Heart torn you into pieces. How are you still alive?" Sombra giggles by her reaction. He laughed, "Oh young pony. Only my body was destroyed by the wave, but not my soul. Luckily, not all of my body parts was shattered. Only my horn survive. Each days, my horn slowly began to regenerate to my whole body. Then, I traveled to Canterlot and witnesses you battle against the invader. I was impressed by your bravery and actions out there. You're the bravest Pegasus I have ever seen." "What are you saying?" "I am saying that you should join me, Rainbow Dash. Together, we will rule Equestria and rule the whole world. When you're by my side, I will never abandon you. Unlike your worthless friends. What do you say?" She roared, "FORGET IT FREAK!! I RATHER DIE THAN BETRAYING MY FRIENDS!! WHEN I AM HEALED I AM GOING TO END YOU MYSELF!!!" He took a step back and grind. He spoke in a caring tone, "Oh Rainbow Dash. How could you say that to your... father." She was confused by what he just said. She responded, "Are you joking around pal?! Because it's not funny." "It's not a trick, my dear daughter. I am your father." "SHUT UP!!! I DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR LIES!!" "Fine... then I'll just show you." He walked towards her and held her down from resistance. Then, he fired his dark magic towards her head, causing a version towards the young Pegasus. "Ahhhh, that's the most beautiful filly I have ever seen." Princess Celestia was laying by the fireplace, holding a rainbow haired filly. Sombra, before he turned evil, walked up to his wife and his wonderful daughter. "We made the most adorable filly," said Sombra. "I know," Princess Celestia spoke. "What should we name her?" "Whatever makes you happy, my dear." After her husband kisses her on the cheek, she began to think of a beautiful name for her newborn daughter. Finally, she answer, "Aurora. Her name shall be Aurora." "Aurora." He kissed his baby daughter on the forehead. "What a beautiful name." After the flashback ended, Rainbow Dash was breathless as Sombra released her. She slowly got up and began to sob. She cried after discovering the cold hard truth about herself. She's the daughter of a beautiful ruler and a dark sinister monster. As she was crying, her father hugged her from behind. "Hush, my little Aurora. You have to know the truth sooner." He kissed her on the cheek after she's done sobbing. "Aurora, join me and we overthrow the princesses and rule Equestria as father and daughter. Please... for your father." Then, Rainbow wrapped away the remaining tears on her face and responded, "No. Even if Celestia is my mom or not, I will never betray her nor my friends. I will never destroy my friends even if you're my father." A disappointment look was formed upon her father face. "I understand. Then, you leave me no choice." Suddenly, he blasted and held her against the wall. While he was holding her against the wall, he pulled out a torn horn. "What's that," Rainbow Dash asked while she was struggling. "Oh this. This is a torn horn belongs to Monster X, the invader you attack a year ago. I wonder what happened if I inject it into you?" He slowly draw it towards his daughter, which frightening her. Her daughter cried out, "KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!" "I am sorry, Aurora. But this is what happens if you resist me. If I can't convince you to join me, I make you." She cried out in horror as the horn draw near her. Then, she cried out in pain when the horn began to stabbing inside of her. When Sombra finally let go of her, the young Pegasus began to tossed and turned as the virus from the horn began to spread inside of her. She flees to the shadows and tripped to the ground. Finally, she released a very loud cry before everything went silence. Sombra was concerned about if his daughter is alive or not. He spoke, "Aurora? Aurora, can you hear me?" A long silence occurred a while, until her voice responded, "Yes... my father." She appeared in the light and everything about her change. He whole body turned from sky blue to white, her eyes turned dark, and her teeth turned into fangs. "Welcome back, my Aurora." He hugged his possessed daughter. "I am glad you chose to my side." "I am happy too, father." He draw away and began telling her his sinister plan. "Now, we must began to take control of this corrupted kingdom." "I know," she added. "After the defeat of Tirek, the kingdom began to regain peace and happiness. Twilight spread this disgusting happiness across the kingdom and to others as well." "Every single ponies, including your best friends, are the enemies that stand against our destiny." "What should we do my father?" "I have a full proof plan that will achieve our success to control this world. You fit the perfect role for it." "What should I do my father?" "You shall hunt down the princesses and make them suffer for their interference against our plans. After the princesses are dealt with, this should show to everyone that they can be easily defeated, which could cause an uprising." "Shall I take care of my foolish mother first?" "No. You can't handle her on your own, she's too powerful. Hunt down the other three princesses first. Then, me and you will take down Celestia. Do you understand?" "I will do what you have said, my father." "Good. Now, the first princess you shall dealt with is the one who causes all of this." "Twilight." "Yes." "I shall dealt with her." "Good. Once we rid those stupid princesses, we shall rule Equestria, next the world. And we shall have... peace." After their evil plans was explained, Rainbow went out and headed towards her hometown, Ponyville.
