> 1. The Evil Witch Arrives
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the peaceful village of Canterlot, the villagers are living their lives as quiet as possible. The Mayor of the village, Mayor Mare, is walking around with a worried look on her face as a young villager named Spike approaches her.
"Your honor," Spike addressed, "is something wrong?"
"It's that time of year again." The Mayor replied. "The dreadful Chrysalis the witch is due to appear tonight."
"Chrysalis!" Spike gasped. "Not her again."
"I'm afraid so. Every year, that vicious witch enters our world from the netherworld from that dark gate in the forest. I heard that her two cohorts, Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow, always show up to help their leader."
"That's not good. Last year, she and her army of changelings invaded our village to take over."
The Mayor then spoke up proudly. "But, thanks to the group of ladies known as the Mane Six, the changeling army retreated to the mountains, leaving Chrysalis to go back home, alone."
This leaves Spike with one question. "Where are those six girls anyway?"
"Well, Spike." The Mayor explained. "Applejack went back to Sweet Apple Acres in the farm area, Rainbow Dash signed up with a team of warriors called the Wonderbolts, Rarity settled down in a clothing store, Pinkie Pie is back at her rock farm home ready to entertain for people, Fluttershy is living in a peaceful forest with the unusual spirit named Discord, and Twilight Sparkle is serving as an apprentice to Celestia, the white witch."
"Your honor," Spike wondered, "didn't that wanderer, Sunset Shimmer, recently went to Celestia?”
"Indeed. She heard of Twilight wanting to learn from the White Witch. So, Sunset figured that perhaps two apprentices are better than one."
Meanwhile, in a dark forest, two vicious figures stand by a stone arch. These figures are Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow. And, they're waiting for their mistress.
"When will our boss show up?" Cozy Glow impatiently asked. "The sun is setting and she's not here yet!"
"Relax, Cozy." Abacus comforted. "She'll be here." The arch started to glow from the inside. "Here she comes now."
From a wall of light, step a vicious dark gray skinned woman with greasy blue hair and wearing a forest green gown with holes in a few places. She also wears black flats and a flowing purple cape. This figure is the evil witch, Chrysalis.
“I have returned!” Chrysalis shouted. She then looks at her followers. “Abacus and Cozy. It’s good to see you two again.”
“Thank you, my leader.” Abacus replied.
“Welcome back, boss.” Cozy Glow added.
Chrysalis then gave her followers an order. “Follow me!”
Later, in a cabin in the woods, the three villains talk about their plan.
“Since my channeling horde are hiding in the mountains,” Chrysalis said, “it’s time to raise a new army.”
“But, how will we do that, boss?” Cozy wondered.
“Many females in the village of Canterlot heard stories about me. With our knowledge of magic curses, we can coax some of these ladies to be our slaves.”
“I get it.” Abacus figured. “We can change some of these girls into hideous creatures, and lead them to your world.”
“Correct, Cinch.” Chrysalis cheered. “Let the dark scheme begin!”
> 2. The First Dark Recruit
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As night comes to the village, the citizens all be very weary of the evil witch and her cohorts. In one house, a light blue skinned woman named Luna sits on a soft bed thinking of this situation. 
"Chrysalis." Luna said to herself. "The most vicious sorceress from the netherworld. I wish I can learn magic from my sister, Celestia. But, I'm not sure if she can trust me. I always was the impatient type." She lays down on the bed. "At least Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer will be helpful to her."
Just then, there's a knock on her door. She answered it, and saw it is a hooded figure wearing a dark crimson robe. The stranger held out a green crystal. The crystal glowed an eerie green light. Suddenly, Luna's eyes glowed green, and address the figure. "What are your orders, master?"
"Meet me at this address." The figure said in an eerie female voice as she hands Luna a piece of paper.
The figure leaves as Luna looks at the paper. Later, wearing a magenta shirt, midnight blue skirt, and black platform shoes, Luna quietly walks around the village. At different locations, Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow, who wore hooded robes as well, watched with wicked smiles. Luna arrives at a large building. A door opens and Luna walks in. Taking off her shoes and places them by the door, Luna walks in barefoot. 
"Master!" Luna calls out. "I came as you ordered!"
Just then, the crimson hooded figure walks in.
"Excellent." The dark figured said. "Now, hear me well."
"Yes, master." Luna responded. 
"I am in need of a small group of followers to lead back to my dimension.  You are my first recruit."
"I shall obey your orders, master."
"But first, I must prepare you."
Getting out a small piece of rope, the figure orders Luna to turn around, and lets her tie her hands behind her back. Next, Luna is ordered to sit on the floor so the figure ties her ankles together.
"Now that you're bound and helpless," The figure said as she pulls out a large green crystal, "the moonlight will energize this crystal, and you'll be my slave."
The figure places the crystal on a table. The moon causes the crystal to glow. Soon, Luna's eyes start to glow green as the dark magic fills her body. Luna moans as she feels the dark energy in her body. She feels like she's having a romantic moments. Meanwhile, her light blue skin starts to get dark as a bit of green is mixed in.
The crystal is filling her with dark ecstasy. The figure thought.  She is embracing her fate. 
Laying on her side, Luna's moans get louder as her deep blue hair gets lighter. Luna looks ahead as her eyes continue to glow bright green. Her fingernails starts to get longer and getting black. The sound of a crow is heard as Luna's skin is now a dark shade of green. Her hair becomes sky blue, almost at white.
The figure watches with glee as Luna's moans are getting faster and more frantic. Suddenly, she screams like a banshee as her skin becomes  bright green and her hair is white and frizzy. The ropes used to bind her vanished. She soon slowly stands up, and presents herself to the hooded figure. "I am yours to command, my master."
The stranger lifts her hood to reveal that she is Chrysalis. She approved the transformation. "Excellent. Now, to complete your recruitment."
Luna puts her shoes back on as she is presented a flowing red cape and a pointed black hat.
"You are my first servant in my new army." Chrysalis said with command. 
"Yes, my master." Luna replied.
"My associates,  Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow, are already finding others to manipulate into my army. Perhaps you can recruit somebody too."
"I shall proceed, master. In fact, I know of somebody who I can influence to join our group."
Chrysalis chuckled silently, feeling Luna is right.
> 3. Elegance Getting Uglified
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In another house in the village, the elegant Octavia Melody prepares for bed. Wearing a red buttoned long sleeve shirt and blue sleep pants, she prepares for a good night's sleep. Suddenly, she had a strong feeling overwhelm her. Octavia then makes her way to a wide empty room in her house. This room has a huge window allowing the moon to shine in.
She opens the window and looks out the window. A strange figure wearing a dark blue robe peaks in. Octavia's eyes glowed red, and she turns her back to the figure. Pulling out a piece of rope, the figure ties Octavia's hands behind her back. The mysterious stranger slowly closes the window as Octavia walks away and looks at the moon. The figure climbs down a ladder used to get to her window. Then, the stranger chants with a mature female voice.
Inside,  the bound Octavia feels a dark sensation through her body. Moaning with ecstasy, she lets the darkness take over. Her teeth soon becomes pointed, like a savage animal. Her fingernails and toenails grew and become sharp. Outside,  from a distance, Chrysalis watches with vicious glee.
Octavia Melody.  An interesting choice. The evil witch thought. Soon, her elegant looks will be very different.
Inside the house, Octavia continues to moan with dark ecstasy as her skin slowly changes from sepia to dark green. Her clothes start to rip. First, her shirt sleeve become tattered. Then, the cuffs of her pants rip apart. The changes continue as her nose grows and her hair becomes frazzled and shows dark gray stripes.
Her moaning gets louder and faster as the sleeves of her shirt rip off. Her mouth gets wider as her hair is completely frazzled and becomes light grey. Octavia bends her knees, making holes in the knee area of her pants. She opens her eyes, letting out a growl in her voice. Her skin becomes bright green as her ears become pointed. 
Outside the figure speaks to the transformed Octavia. "Can you hear me, slave?"
Octavia responded with a low growing voice. "I hear and obey, my master."
"Good. Now, come outside and join me."
The ropes binding her hands vanished. Octavia slowly goes outside the house, and meets the hooded figure. She lifts up her hood to reveal her true self: Abacus Cinch. She looks at the transformed Octavia. Now, she looks like a creepy troll wearing torn clothes.
"Now that you have become a hideous creature," Abacus informed, "you shall serve my leader. The dark witch Chrysalis."
The creature, formally Octavia, nods in response, accepting her new role.
> 4. Triple Trouble
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ducking behind a tree, Cozy Glow dressed in a crimson robe, ready to make her move.
"Three targets are in this cabin spending the night together." Cozy said to herself. "Perfect."
Inside the cabin are three young girls. Apple Bloom, wearing a pair of blue pajamas,  Sweetie Belle, wearing a lime green short sleeve nightgown, and Scootaloo, sporting a white nightshirt with red sleeves.
"I'm glad we're spending the night in this cabin." Scootaloo praised. "Rainbow Dash would be proud of me taking care of myself."
"Our sisters would say the same about me and Sweetie." Apple Bloom replied.
"I sure hope witch Chrysalis doesn't show up around here." Sweetie added.
"Good point, Sweetie Belle. She's probably got her two helpers out there helping her."
This got Scootaloo shook. "I hope that nasty pixie, Cozy Glow, isn't around here."
Just then, Cozy Glow entered the room. She wore a necklace containing a green jewel. The jewelry glowed, and the three girls' eyes started to glow too. Cozy Glow has them under control.
"Now that you're mine," Cozy Glow said as she pulled out a box, "I can mark you girls with these special stamps. They are all equipped with special magic. Each represents a different animal."
Cozy then approached the hypnotized girls, stamping them just under the neck. A wolf mark for Apple Bloom, a hawk for Sweetie Belle, and a monkey for Scootaloo. Minutes later, the three girls face their master with their hands tied behind their backs.
"Now that you're tied up," Cozy announced, "you shall now be transformed."
Just then, the marks glowed on their bodies. The girls feel the dark magic fill their spirits. They moan quietly as they embrace the darkness. Apple Bloom's teeth become sharp, Sweetie Belle's nose becomes yellow and hard, and Scootaloo's teeth are sharp too. Cozy Glow watched with delight. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo sat on the floor( Scootaloo's legs extend out) and Sweetie kneeled.
The magic continues to fill their souls as their moans get louder. Apple Bloom's nose became black as her skin changes from yellow to light gray. Sharp nails extend on her hands and feet. Sweetie's white skin become light brown as her feet grew large nails like they were talons as feathers are appearing on her arms. Scootaloo's hand and feet have extending sharp nails too as her orange skin becomes brown and her nose alters into a monkey's nose.
"This is great!" Cozy Glow shouted. "These girls are accepting their fate!"
Cozy was right. The three girls continue to moan loudly. Wolf ears appear on Apple Bloom. Her nose and jaw extended as she lets out a loud howl. Sweetie's nose and mouth stretch out into a bird's beak. Feathers keep growing on her arms changing them into wings. She gives out a few squawks. Scootaloo's ears grew bigger as she begins to chatter like a monkey.
When the magic finished, the ropes binding the girls vanished. They then stood up. Apple Bloom transformed into a gray werewolf with a fully extended snout. Sweetie Belle became a humanoid hawk with wing like arms and talons for feet. And, Scootaloo changed into a monkey girl, draping her arms in front of her.
"Now that you have transformed into my animal servants," Cozy announced,  "we shall now join my mistress, Witch Chrysalis.  Come."
The mutated girls slowly followed Cozy out the door of the cabin.
> 5. A Wilted Wallflower
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a nice quiet forest, a young maiden walks barefoot in the moonlight. She has light green skin and deep green hair. She wore a pink short sleeve shirt and a pail of blue bib overalls with the cuffs rolled up. Her name is Wallflower Blush, the wanderer of the forest. Behind one the trees, the manipulated Luna watches and schemes.
I'm very happy I started to learn from that flower child: Tree Hugger.  Wallflower thought. Some of the people at Trottngham village don't really understand me. But, she does.
As Wallflower sits next to a tree, enjoying the light full moon, Luna approaches her, and is ready to strike.
"Good evening, Miss Blush." Luna announced.
Wallflower saw the woman, and is a little scared. "Lady Luna? Is that you?
"So, you recognized me. Huh?" Luna replied.
"What happened to you? You look like a creepy looking witch." Then, she had a thought. "It's Witch Chrysalis! She did this do you."
"My leader has directed me to find new recruits for her army."
Holding an amulet, she chanted a spell to make the red jewel glow. Suddenly, Wallflower's eyes started to glow red too. Talking out a small piece of rope, Luna tied Wallflower's hands behind her back. Then, Luna draped her victim over her shoulder, and carried her away. After five minutes of walking, Luna arrived at a murky swamp. She placed Wallflower on the ground, and used another piece of rope to tie her ankles together.
"Now that you are properly restrained," Luna said, "it is time to have you join our army."
In her hypnotized state, Wallflower just sat there while Luna started chanting. Suddenly,  mist rose from the ground and surrounded Wallflower Blush. Her skin changed from light green to light gray. Her hair went from, deep green to dark gray. Her skin started to wrinkle. Her face started to look like she was aging into an old lady. Her hair frizzed out. The ropes that binded her vanished. Wallflower slowly stood up, and gave a low moan.
"Now that you have become an obedient zombie," Luna said, "it is time to join my mistress."
Luna walked away with the zombified Wallflower walking behind her while extending her arms out. From a tree, a black raven watches. The bird then flies away. Entering a large house in Canterlot Village, the bird lands and faces a figure. The future is a beautiful woman with flowing hair in shades of pink, blue, teal, and lavender. She wore a blue gown with an image of a sun on the skirt area, and she wore teal shoes.
"White Witch Celestia." The bird speaks in a young girl's voice. "We have a situation."
"Ocellus," The woman named Celestia replied, "I think you forgot something."
The bird soon changed into a light blue skinned girl with blond hair and wearing a red short sleeve dress.
"Chrysalis made her move." The girl reported. "She hypnotized your sister to capture the wanderer, Wallflower Blush, and turn her into one of her slaves."
"That vicious Witch has been busy indeed." Celestia said. "Her two accomplices have manipulated four other maidens into her army. I'll have Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer prepare for our mission. Stand by to join us."
"Yes, ma'am."
Later, Celestia steps out of her house. Her two apprentices, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, are ready with her.
"I hope we can save those girls." Sunset said with worry. "Besides, Wallflower Blush is a good friend of mine."
"Don't worry, Sunset." Twilight assured. "She and the other girls will be saved."
As the three magical maidens and the young changeling left for their destination, Mayor Mare caught up with them.
"White Witch Celestia," The Mayor said, "good luck on your quest."
"Thank you, your honor." Celestia replied.
> 6. White Witch Celestia to the Rescue
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chrysalis leads her army of assistants and hypnotized slaves deep into the forest. When they approached the stone arch, she turned to her army of creatures. 
"Once I turn on the magic of this arch," Chrysalis announced, "you will serve me forever!"
Chrysalis laughs maniacally as her two partners, Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow look on with evil glee. Suddenly, a bright light shined behind them. From the light, Celestia and her two helpers emerged.
"White Witch Celestia." Chrysalis said with interest. "We meet at last."
"Yes, Chrysalis." Celestia replied. "Looks like we got here just in time."
"We see you brought your assistants, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, with you." Abacus noticed.
"Yes, I have. With their help, we will free your victims from you evil grasp."
"Like, that’s going to happen!" Cozy remarked.
Luna steps up to confront the team of kind witches. 
"They are all yours, Luna." Chrysalis said with authority. 
Celestia had her friends step back while she confronted her hypnotized sister. As Luna readies to battle, she looks at Celestia with uncertainty.  Just then, she lowers her arms and her eyes are no longer red.
"My dear sister." Celestia said calmly. 
"Celestia." Luna replied sadly. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault. Chrysalis is very manipulative. But, even she cannot break our sisterly bond."
Everybody watched as the two sisters slowly hugged each other. Suddenly, sparkling lights surrounded the two women. Soon, Luna transformed back to her normal self.
"I don't believe it!" Abacus said angrily.
"I can." Chrysalis replied. "Their love for each other is stronger than any curse."
Shedding tears of joy, Luna smiled happily. "Thank you, Celestia. The grip of that witch is broken."
"You're welcome, Luna." Celestia replied happily. 
Luna then made some rope appear. "Time to tie up a few loose ends!"
Using the strands of rope, Luna tied Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Abacus Cinch together. The three evil women are annoyed as Chrysalis gave an order to her creature army. "Stop them! I command you all!"
Hearing their master's orders, the five creatures slowly approached the four heroes. Celestia made a bright flash appear to blind the troll (Once known as Octavia). Sunset scattered some seeds in front of the zombified Wallflower Blush. The seeds extended into vines to ensnare her.
"Sorry, Wallflower." Sunset sadly said. "It's for your own good."
Twilight set up a rainbow beam type cage to trap the three animal beasts.
"Twilight! Sunset!" Celestia called out as she holds up a sun shaped jewel. "Get your special jewels ready!"
Twilight pulls out a six pointed purple star and Sunset readies a two toned sun..
What are they up to now? Chrysalis thought as she and her cohorts free themselves.
"Magic of kindness and honor," Celestia called out, "energize these jewels and shatter the darkness!"
Beams of light connected the jewels like a triangle. Suddenly, a rainbow beam shoots through and covers the evil army in a rainbow light show.
"THE LIGHT!" Chrysalis calls out as she covers her eyes. "SO BRIGHT! PLEASE, STOP IT!" 
Chrysalis,  her helpers, and slaves cover their eyes from the colorful flash. 
The magic of those colors is so powerful, Chrysalis thought nervously,  it's breaking my control over my slaves. They'll probably change back to normal any second. 
The troll's skin changes from green to sepia as her hair is once again brown and straight. Octavia has returned to normal. Wallflower Blush's skin went back to light green and smooth as her hair is green and curly once again. Finally, the three animal slaves returned to normal. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are free from the cursed stamps.
The trio of sorceresses shut down their magic, knowing that Chrysalis has failed. Her gate opened and she prepared to leave.
"White Witch Celestia, " Chrysalis called out, "you're indeed a worthy opponent. I salute your victory." She then lowered the tone of her voice. "But, I'll be back."
With that, the evil witch went through the gate, and it shut down. Abacus and Cozy crawled out if their hiding spot.
"What happened?" Cozy asked.
Soon, five barefoot women approached the two fiends as Wallflower spoke up. "Your leader lost."
"Let's get out of here!" Abacus shouted.
Abacus Cinch and Cozy Glow ran away. Later, Celestia and her apprentices talked to the mayor about their progress.
"With Chrysalis gone," Celestia reported, "her victims are free from her control, and her two partners are in hiding."
"That's good." Mayor Mare said proudly. "I never want to see another witch here again!" She then turned to Celestia and her apprentices. "Present company excluded of course."
> Epilogue: Concerns
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a nice looking Inn at Trottngham, the wandering magician, Trixie Lulamoon, and her good friend, Starlight Glimmer, sit at a big table at the bar. Joining them are five other noble girls. Applejack, Fluttershy,  Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. The seven girls discuss something that's been bothering them.
"I heard that Sunset Shimmer helped out Canterlot Village in sending the evil Chrysalis away." Starlight said. "She and Twilight Sparkle helped Celestia very well that day."
"That's what I heard, too." Trixie added. "The evil witch was defeated, and all of her victims were freed from the evil influence."
Rainbow Dash just thought of something. "Wasn't Sunset thrown out of her own village for something that never happened."
"Yup." Applejack replied. "Her own parents saw her studying magic so she  can be a powerful magician. And, hoped to serve the White Witch, Celestia."
"However," Rarity continued, "they thought she wanted to take over Celestia's job in the village of Canterlot. That's why she was ejected from her own home."
Pinkie then spoke up loudly and angrily. "Those parents might be on to something. I don't trust that red and yellow haired maiden!"
Then, Fluttershy made a suggestion. "I think we should go to Canterlot Village and warn everybody there about her possible treachery."
"Good idea." Starlight replied.
The seven maidens left the Inn, and made their way to Canterlot. What happens from here is another story.


THE END
