A/N: Greetings bronies and pegasisters! Sir Scribe here with an actual fanfic! I must say, I am a little disappointed with my first work that I posted, but that was expected. I mean, who else reads a fic featuring nothing but an OC? *hands and hooves rise* Where the hay were you then? Oh well, at least some of you exist. Anyway, let's get this party started!

Pinkie: PARTY! WHOOOOO!

Me: Ow, PINKIE!

Pinkie: What? None of your Fanfiction followers or viewers can hear me

Me: But I can! Please tone it down a little bit

Pinkie: *laughs* You're funny

Me: I don't think so. Anyway, care to do the honors?

Pinkie: Certainly. Sir Scribe doesn't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. All rights and characters belong to Hasbro Studios and Lauren Faust.

Me: Fillies and Gentlecolts, I hearby present to you- DARK VENGEANCE!

3rd POV:

Thunder and lightning dominated the Canterlot night. With the storm passing over the Everfree Forest and parts of the desert, most ponies really had a reason to remain indoors for the night. The scheduled Galaxy Watch, the newest event hosted by Princess Luna, just had to wait until the storm passed. Little did everypony know, that a bigger storm was headed their way. A storm unlike any before it.

In the darkened alleyways of Canterlot, a group of individuals met. Judging by the sizes of their shadows, there were three equines present. Two alicorns and one unicorn with an oddly shaped horn. The three were conversing with themselves when a slithering shadow formed next the the unicorn. "Are we all here?"

One of the alicorns nodded. "All except for the blue one. She proclaimed that she wasn't going ahead with this operation. And she actually defeated Twilight Sparkle!"

The snake-like figure nodded its misformed head. "I expected that from a friend of hers. Anyway, as long as we all are here, we can begin."

The unicorn stepped forward. "Who put you in charge of this operation? Out of all of us, I am royalty! I am to be given the right to lead us!"

"Nay, the powers of this group must be ours! We will not serve under the leadership of a failed king!" One alicorn said.

"Well as long as I am given a full pardon to perform my task, I don't care. Although, for the record, I am also royalty! I am a greater power than all of you. Plus, I have an army!" the other said.

The snake sighed. "I don't have to put up with this. I assembled you all back from your defeat in hopes that you will aid me in this. King Sombra, I was able to find your horn and bring you back from obliteration. Don't forget that. Chrysalis, let's not forget that it was I who sought you out after you were defeated!"

Chrysalis growled. "I don't care. Besides, I would've been fine without your help."

Sombra laughed. "You were thrown out of Canterlot by the power of Love. The very substance that you feed on! You're pathetic!"

"Says the unicorn who was defeated by a crystal. I was defeated by real magic! And you, Nightmare, what's your story?"

The alicorn shuffled in her place. "Elements of Harmony. Well, proper timing with a regeneration spell. I was never truly defeated!"

The snake laughed. "You were cornered by 6 ponies who barely knew eachother, tried to destroy the Elements, and just stood there while the Elements were taking their new form. If I was you, I would've put down Twilight before her Element was assembled. At least defeat somepony," the snake said.

"Oh please Discord! You befriended the enemies. How do we know you are with us?" Nightmare Moon stated.

"Because I was the one who found all of you and assembled you. I have big plans for Equestria after what happened over a thousand years ago. My empire was taken from me!"

"Mine too!" Sombra declared.

"Mine as well!" Nightmare declared.

"And my children were reduced to scavengers thanks to Celestia!" Chrysalis said.

Discord sighed. "Then we all have an understanding. The enemy is Celestia. Our weapons: the Elements and their bearers. If I understand correctly, all 6 of them parted ways for the time being. You all have your targets, yes?"

All 3 of them nodded. "Then by tomorrow night, Equestria will be ours, and Celestia will be out of the way. We will finally have our revenge."

All 4 cheered silently. Discord laughed. "We are due for a big helping of CHAOS!"

Twilight groaned as she stirred to consciousness. She raised her head off her pillow and looked around. That was hard with crusty eyes and an out of control mane. She blew the biggest clump of her mane out of her vision to see clearly. Still crusty eyes, but what are you going to do when you spent the last 3 weeks doing damage control.

Word of Twilight's journey into the human world grabbed a lot of attention in Equestria. Ponies declared that the royal family had the power to cross dimensions and bring deadly creatures to their world. After a while, Cadence had to publicly report that the mirror disappeared. That calmed some tension in Equestria, but ponies were still outraged that such a secret was being kept from them. Ever since then, Twilight has had letters coming in, both good and bad. Some ponies called her brave while others claimed she was a pawn being used to detour some of the anger.

She dusted all the letters from her bed and walked over to her mirror. She had bags under her eyes. Something nopony liked seeing. She used her magic to calm her mane, but it was still wild. At least it was a bit presentable. She extended her wings to get another look at them. Ever since she was torn away from Ponyville, she kept thinking that her ordeal in the human world and her wings were just a dream. She always imagined waking up in her library without wings and everything back to normal.

She never got that fantasy.

She sighed. "Another day of training Twi. Another day with Celestia."

Suddenly, she heard a burp originate from behind her. She turned. Turns out to be only Spike. Next to him was a letter. Princess Celestia probably, she thought.

She levitated the scroll to her and began to read. She had to reread the letter. It read:

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I'm afraid I will have to cancel our lessons for today. An emergency has arisen in Manehattan and I must be there for damage control. Meanwhile, I left Princess Luna in charge of the castle. Unless you want lessons from Luna, you have the day off. Go on and enjoy life beyond the castle AND library. I want you to enjoy today. The storm really brought out the beauty of Equestria.

Enjoy,

-Princess Celestia

Twilight smiled. She heard Spike groan from pain. "Who was it from?" he asked in his sleep.

"Princess Celestia. Something is happening in Manehattan and she left to take care of it. Why didn't she take Luna with her?" Twilight asked.

"Maybe Princess Luna was too tired of guarding the night," he said.

Twilight nodded. While she studied with Celestia during the day, she spent most of her nights with Luna in the Dream World. She learned how to indirectly aid ponies in their nightly endeavors. It got awkward in a few dreams over the past month, but it was something Twilight had to get used to. "Maybe you're right. Besides, today we have a day off. Wanna head out somewhere?"

Spike jumped up. "How about we go visit our friends. It's been a while since we've seen them."

Twilight chuckled. "You just want to see Rarity, don't you?"

Spike blushed. "You make it sound like I don't miss our friends."

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "Do you miss our friends?"

"Of course, but I miss Rarity more."

Twilight laughed, and left to go wash up. Spike paced in the room and began clearing his throat. After a while, Twilight reappeared and they both left Canterlot behind them. The scroll Twilight left behind began to glow, and formed the face of Discord. "Oh this is perfect. Step 1 is a go." Discord disappeared immediately, ready for the day to progress.
