Hi, guys it's me again remember all credit for MLP goes to Hasbro.

Ch. 1 - The Darkness Returns

It was another beautiful, sunny fall day, but Black Crescent wouldn't know because he was sleeping. After he became good, he'd been helping Princess Luna in the dream realm to keep ponies from having nightmares.

While he was sleeping, he was having a dream about being in the forest with his friends, simply enjoying the beauty, peace, and the sounds of his friends having a good time, but soon, black clouds covered the sky. "What's going on?" He sounded confused. Soon, the images of his friends disappeared. "NO!" he yelled. A black mist started to form in front of him.

"You cannot escape your destiny," said the dark mass with a low, dark male voice.

Black Crescent woke up, seeing that it was midday, noting the ponies going about their own business. Black Crescent got out of bed. Walking around was easy because his room was small just a desk, bed, and window. It was connected to the bathroom, so Black Crescent went towards it to freshen up. That was an odd dream I had. Oh, well. I doesn't matter, he thought. He walked off towards the kitchen.

"Evening, Twilight," he said.

"Hi, Black. Did you sleep well?" she asked in a friendly voice.

"Of course, you stupid mortal," he said in a dark tone. Twilight looked at him in shock at what he'd said. "Twilight, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me," he said. He started to run as far away as he could. Why did I say that? Is it possible that what was in my dream was Shadow Nightmare? There's only one way that I can make sure that my dark self does not return to break the peace that my creators have with the ponies, he thought.

So, he went in deep into the Everfree forest. It was dark. The trees were covered in vines and no sun could get in. He found a stone door with a very old latch. The door was covered in vines and webs from years of never being used. Black knew about this door because he lived a long life, so he said the words to open the door. "Open the door so that I can pass to the world of dreams where they are real, so open, doorway of the realms," he said. The door opened slowly. Black walked forwards into the darkness. "All right, then. Let's do this," he said.

Twilight was looking around, trying to find Black to see what was happing to him. She went to Sugarcube Corner. The bakery was easy to find. It looked like it was made out of candy. She went in where she saw her friends. They were just eating cupcakes and having tea.

"Have... Have you girls... seen Black...?" she asked, breathing hard after running around.

"No," they said in unison.

"What's going on, sugar cube?" asked Applejack.

"I'm not sure, but I think something is going on with Black. He was not himself this evening and I'm worried that something bad happened to him," she said in a worried tone.

"Don't worry so much, Twi. He can take care of himself. He's not a colt any more," said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah. I guess that, when he gets back, we could talk about it," said Twilight.

Luna was walking in the dream realm which looked like a ruined castle and a night sky and doorways of cute marks to dreams. I wonder where Black Crescent is. He's never late, she thought. After helping ponies with their nightmares, she saw something, unable to believe her eyes. She saw Black fighting a black, misty figure, but every time he blasted it, the mist reformed and kept knocking him down.

Twilight and friends were having a huge pancake breakfast in Twilight's castle when a blue light appeared. Everypony covered their eyes form the bright light. They saw Princess Luna standing where the light had once been.

"Twilight and friends, Black is in trouble and needs your help," Luna spoke, sounding scared.

"What's wrong with Black?" asked Twilight with a worried tone.

"He used a doorway that makes dreams real, and now he's fighting a dark figure," said Luna.

"Lead the way, Princess. We've got to do something to help him," they said with determination.
