Hello everypony! I'm back with a new story idea! I'm really excited about this one because it's very different then my other stories! This story is about how there was another ruler next to Luna and Celestia. A Prince if you may. But...where is he? I won't spoil anything and I'll just tell you to give this story a chance like my other MLP fics. I hope you enjoy what I have so far and I'll talk to you all later!

Preparing For Madness

Normal POV

Long ago, there were three rulers over Equestria. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Prince Hybrid. Princess Celestia was in charge of raising and lowering the sun over the land. And Princess Luna raised the moon and lowered it down when it was needed. And Prince Hybrid lit up the sky by creating rainbows and weather across Equestria.

These three brought peace and harmony across the land an swore to protect it. But, as always, where there is light..shadows lurk.

One day a great battle occurred that changed the face of Equestria forever. King Sombra took over the crystal empire and enslaved ponies. The three went to defeat the king but they were no match against his dark magic. All except for Hybrid.

He stood up against King Sombra. The battle went on for hours until one fell. Hybrid's rage got the best of him and his heart turned to stone. He used dark magic against the king. Hybrid defeated him, but he would soon grow into the dark lord he was destined to be.

Celestia saw this big tribulation that would take place in the future. The princess went to Luna and explained what would happen. Luna went to confront Hybrid. But sadly Hybrid felt pride and thought that he was the most powerful ruler that ever lived. After all, he had the power to raise the sun, moon, make stars fall from the sky, being able to go to the dreams of ponies, you name it!

His self centered heart grew and he soon confronted with the princesses. He threatened to take their thrones and build his own kingdom on top of their corpses. The three then went into battle. The great battle looked like it wouldn't end. Though it seemed that Equestria was doomed, the princesses didn't give up.

They used the Elements of Harmony to send the dark Prince to the Underworld. Before being banished he swore that he he would return and bring Equestria into complete madness. Equestria soon found peace until Luna's attempt to be the only princess. But we all know how she came back from Nightmare Moon into Princess Luna again.

Anyways, the princesses swore not to tell anypony about Hybrid. They feared that everypony would go in a state of panic. But he has never shown his face in Equestria for thousands of years. That is...until now.

Deep down in the ground of Equestria a dark and large structure could be seen in the darkness of the Underworld. It was a large factory dark as night. Smoke came from the top of one of the factory's pillars.

Inside the factory were big machines holding something in it. A conveyor belt was seen holding empty sliver trays. It moved forward and a mixture of beautiful colors came from the machines an squirted on the trays. The trays were now covered in rainbows and the conveyor belt moved again.

Next to it was a giant mixing machine. It shook and steamed smoke. In the dark shadows of the factory were many ponies working. But they weren't normal. Most of them had their eyes wide open and smiling. On the walls of the factory were words written on it in red such as:

Something Sweet to Bite

Life's a Party!

Its a Haunting Nightmare

Sugar and Spice

Puppet to My Fame

And all sorts of creepy and cringing words. Just then, a whistle was heard throughout the dark building. All the ponies looked up to see a pink pony with its mane straight down. Her cutie mark had three balloons on it that were all black and gray. The pony smiled and gave her announcement.

"Everypony pipe down! The Overlord's here for inspection! In formation!"

They all lined up and stood straight for their king. The pink pony bowed while her king walked towards her. The rest of the ponies saluted him as he walked towards the pink pony. Their king smiled.

"Pinkamena. I see that everything's going according to plan."

The pink pony looked up at her king. He was the scariest most horrifying villian. He was a big black furred dog with eyes that were red with black pupils, and his teeth were pure white. His smile was the creepiest out of everything. His voice was dark and damanding. Pinkamena nodded and got up.

"Yes, Lord Hybrid. The machines are all working, the staff is meeting their obligations, and the weapon is almost complete."

Hybrid laughed,"Perfect. How soon would you say the weapon will activate until the little, you know, Doomsday?"

The pink pony laughed,"It will be ready in about a week."

"Good. You see, this is why you're my second in command."

Just then, a little fillie with a bow came and bowed infront of Hybrid.

"Excuse me, sir. But What is the weapon for?"

Hybrid smiled at the little fillie.

"Well, Creepy Bloom. The weapon is for being able to take over Equestria. It will be unstoppable! And each of you will be able to cause all the madness you desire!"

All the ponies and creatures of sorts cheered and laughed. Hybrid snapped his fingers and called out to one of the ponies.

"Octavia X!"

A pony came from the crowd hearing her name. She was a gray pony with a cutie mark of a red treble clef. Her eyes were back and pupils white. She bowed before her king.

"Yes, Lord Hybrid?"

"Go and open the doors to the weapon would you?"

"Yes sir!"

The pony then grabbed her cello and played a haunting tune. The ground started to shake and it opened up. A giant pyramid came from the ground giving Hybrid a smile. He laughed and shouted.

"Equestria! Here I come!"
