The sheets of the bed slowly rose and fell as the occupant quietly snoozed. The window shades were drawn in such a way that only a single ray of dawn fell over the bed, barely illuminating the wood walls, floor and ceiling.
The rooms door slowly opened almost soundlessly. A pair of slighted green eyes peeked in, swiftly followed by a black scaled form with green spines tip-toeing through the room, trying not to make any noise. The small dragon came right up to the side of the bed, popped his neck, and took a slow breath in and released it. “Sunset.” The small dragon whispered.
“Mmmnnnnn.” Came the response from the sheets.
“Sunset.” The dragon almost cooed. “It’s morning. Time to get up.”
“Mmm mm” The sheets covering what the dragon assumed to be the head shook slightly.
“Sunset.” The dragon climbed onto the bed and poked at the form with a claw. “You gotta get up, because you gotta get Twilight up. She fell asleep in the lab again, and Twilight doesn’t like me down there unsupervised. Seriously, I try to build my own gun once and she loses her mind.” The dragon shook his head.
“Spiiiiiike. Five more minutes.” The sheet covered form whined.
“Please Sunset? I’ll make you breakfast?” Spike the dragon grinned.
“Uuuuuu... Spiiiike, you already make us breakfast.” The form rolled over under the sheets.
Spike sighed, shaking his head. “Sunset, you’ve forced my claw.” Spike shook his head as he raised his claws. A green glow lit in his eyes as the same glow surrounded his claws. A corona a green light engulfed the edge of the sheets and the shades. Spike flicked his wrists. The sheets were yanked away from Sunset’s head and the shades were torn open to show the brilliant dawn light.
A pair of golden yellow hands flew up to cover the entirely unprepared eyes. “AGH! Spike why!? Mom you bitch! Turn the sun down! Too bright!”
“Eh heh heh heh heh” Spike chuckled at the Sunset’s misfortune.
Sunset shimmer slowly took her hands away from her face. Her muzzle crinkled in discomfort and her ears pinned back, as she squinted Her mismatched eyes at the baby dragon. Her gold and red mane was disheveled partially covering her green left eye, however a streak of white mane draped down over an ice blue right eye. She sniffled (Still trying to wake up.) at the dragon whose attention seemed to be drawn to the mares black bra covered chest. “Spike... My eyes are up here.”
“And?” Spike asked somewhat blandly with a smirk on his face.
“I’m up you can go. I need to change anyway.” Sunset chuckled at the little dragon.
“Ya know, I could cover my eyes?” His smirk widened.
Sunset blinked at the dragon and a smile grew on her face. “Spike?”
“Yeah?”
A block of ice containing a laughing Spike flew out the door, arced over the library floor, and bounced off a bookshelf to slam into the floor.
“Where does that dragon get his manners from?” Sunset shook her head as she slammed her door shut.
Steam wafted out of her room as Sunset stretched, making quite a few audible pops. She was now garbed in jean shorts, a teal tanktop, and the leather jacket that he dad got her for her last birthday. The back of said jacket had her Cutie Mark emblazoned on it. It was a mark split down the middle. The left half, a stylised red sun, the right half, a ice blue snowflake.
Finishing her stretch, Sunset yawned, popped her neck, rolled her shoulders (to a few more assorted pops), and Slowly walked down the stairs to the Library proper. The scent of pancakes wafted in from the kitchen and she noted the melting shards of ice sitting in the middle of the library floor. Shrugging, she peeked into the kitchen. Spike was standing on a stool, a hissing pan sat in one claw containing cooking pancakes with a spatula hovering next to it in a green aura. His attention was on a book held in his other claw. She couldn’t see the title however.
Shrugging, she turned and headed towards the basement, or Twilight’s Lab as the sign on the front of the door plainly stated. Opening the door, Sunset was blasted with hot air, as well as various scents. Smells of oil, sweat, metal, and fuel assaulted her nostrils and she scrunched up her muzzle in distase. She shook her head and sighed as she trotted down the stairway. “Dammit Twi. Really?”
The lab was pitch black at the bottom of the stairs, and after a couple of fumbles, Sunset found the switches. Flicking them on she simultaneously heard the vent fans spin up and slammed her eyes shut at the blinding light of the overhead lights. Giving herself a few moments, she finally squinted and looked around the lab.
Said lab was a mess, and seemed bigger than the room should allow. In the middle of the room sat Twilight’s armor-slash-battlesuit. The black Cataphractii Terminator Armor trimmed in gold towered over everything else in the room and honestly intimidated Sunset, even when it was unoccupied. The tables to her right held guns and ammunition in various stages of assembly. The tables to her left were strewn with open spell books and papers containing notes and spell matrix equations. The complexity of which always stunned her a little. Against the far wall was tables filled with diagrams and blueprints.
Sunset’s gaze swept the lab as she slowly circled the lab, being careful not to step on the stray round or tool. “Okay.... Where are you?”
Her eyes spied a lab coat covered form slowly moving. Grinning she slowly walked up to it and pulled off the labcoat.
Twilight had curled up on a table and was sleeping soundly. The thin, bony unicorn mare had found a pillow and was hugging it close to her.
“Oh Damn!” Sunset hissed as her hand flew up to her heart. She took a slow breath in and poked the small unicorn. “Twilight.” She said in a sing song voice.
“Mmmmmmm” Twilight made a sleepy noise.
“Twi. Time to get up.” She prodded the unicorns face.
“Mmmmm no!” Was the response.
“You asked for this.” Sunset grinned as she rubbed her hands together. A heat haze wafted off her left hand as a chilly mist wafted off her right.
“Twilight!” She cried as she grabbed onto the unicorns flanks.
“GAAAH!” Twilight’s eyes snapped open and she sat bolt upright, taking the pillow with her and using it as a shield. Simultaneously, her horn like up like a purple star and with a loud clatter, Sunset was surrounded by dozens of guns held in violet auras. She was momentarily deafened as every gun cocked simultaneously.
Twilight blinked, looking around in half a panic before her gaze found the grinning Sunset entirely unconcerned about the amount of weaponry around her. “Sunset!? What the fuck!? Why would you do that?! I could have killed you!”
“You’re not the first assassin sent to kill me, and you won’t be the last.” Sunset said, trying to stifle giggles. “Morning Twi.”
Twilight let go of her pillow as every gun floated back to their original place. “Hmmph. Morning.” The little unicorn pouted.
Sunset picked her up, cradling her in her arms. “Awwww don’t be like that. Spike’s making pancakes.”
Twilight immediately brightened. “Ooooo! Pancakes.”
“Yep.” Sunset turned and began to head toward the stairs. “What do you want to do today Twi?”
“What we do everyday Sunset.” Twilight said with a cute grin.
“Try to take over the world.”
They're Sunset and Twilight. Yes Sunset and Twilight. One is an anthro, the others feral.
They're students of Death, not students of Life.
They're Sunset. Sunset and the Twi, Twi, Twi, Twi, Twi, Twi, Twi, Twi.....LIght!

8424673
You got the reference. Have a moustache.
8424685
Now i'm seeing a image of the CMC as the Animaniacs... why does my mind work the way it does and how come it feels like I can never keep up?
8424706
I know that feeling all too well.
Cuteness has been made
8424706
Okay this would be so freaking awesome, I vote for them act like animaniacs. XD
8424664
glad someone used my idea.
8424709
I'm am extremely excited to see where you take this. 
My friend, this is adorable!
8424724
It’s no gonna be something with any kind of order. They’re just little daily life kinda things.
8424726
and I liked the color scheme you gave this universes Spike. 
That'll make this even better.
8424731
Yes I happen to like black and green.
8424733

better then black and blue with a bit of yellow mixed in.
8424738
What....? Why? Why is that a thing?
8424742
it's the colors of a bad bruise.
8424744
Bleh.
8424747
I've had a few good ones so I know what colors they turn.
8424748

8424742
i am confused on this as well.....

also when does this story take place in relataship to cannon ie before discord escape, after discord escape, before royal wedding, after royal wedding.....
also ponyville is doomed
8424753
It’s going to be all over the place actually. The relationship to specific times will be mentioned in the chapter.
8424755
that make this demon pony a happy demon pony
8424750
8424752
Rolling down three flights of spiral stairs will give you a nice cross section.
8424757
“Oh Twilight your armor is so garish! Please let me-”
“Rarity. You get one spec of paint on this armor I’ll burn your boutique down.”
“Black really is slimming you know that?”
8424762
hehehe so funny make me smile,
8424760
How did you manage to do that?
8424763
You’re welcome.
8424764

Sooo question. So Sunset is the Daughter of Celestia and Menthil Correct? How exactly did that manage to work? Menthil is undead, thus his ability to procreate is.... Nonexistent.
It wouldn't be Sunset without a leather jacket.
Pfft...GAHAHAHAHAH! Nice reaction time, Starbutt!

Wait, are they like, actually evil? I thought Menethil was going to be an antihero? What's this about his daughter and student trying to take over the world?
8424820
Simple yet overused explanation. Magic.
8424859
What you’ve never seen Pinky and the Brain?
8424874
*slams fist on table* Damn! I should have known!
8424876
Eenope. Never. Not one second. Not even a commercial. I was asking that last question with all the seriousness of Luna pre-Nightmare Night.
8424874
YAY MAGIC!!
8424905
I don’t know if you’re serious or joking... I can’t tell at the moment.
was that a Pinky and the Brain joke at the end?
8425653
Why yes it was.
Twilight would have Terminator Armor but the question is Assault cannon or Heavy Flamer?
8425677
Why not and Arcana Sword and a Relic Bolter? Or the option of both an Assault Cannon and a Heavy Flamer?
8425616
I am 100 percent serious. No sarcasm, no joking. I have never once in my entire 19 years of living seen even 1 millisecond of video related to Pinky and the Brain. I re-ask my original question: Are Twilight and Sunset evil, or was that line at the end purely for references sake, and holds no actual relevance to their moral alignment?
Nice use of Hanzo reference.
8425782
Simply, it was a joke. Twilight and Sunset are not evil.
8426040
Ok. I was concerned for a few moments.
8425684
the answer is simple, all the above. and add in other stuff like weapon other races.
This sounds really good. I can't wait to read more.
If I'm right about who their parents are, that's going to be much harder than it sounds.
So what does this mean for your other story?
