Determined to find out what he is up to, sunset shimmer decided to search for any clues at darklight's closet, despite her friends disapprove of such action.
"I think you are taking this too far sunset." Applejack said.
"He himself admitted that he is planning something, and I won't stand still until I know for certain what it is." Sunset said while trying to open his closet.
"Could be, but isn't searching in his personal belongings violation for his privacy?" rarity asked.
"It's for the greater good, what if he is planning to destroy the city? Then we would be guilty for not violating his 'private objects', if only I can open this.." sunset said while she is failing to open the closet's door, then pinkie pie swoops in and hit the door with her fist and surprise! It's open.
Amongst the books of school inside, there was a certain book that had a strange aura around it, sunset reached to it and opened it, and then she started reading:
(Day 1: the sense drove me to this school that teaches science, considering what we are facing I thought there has to be something that would help me here, I was right; a band of girls were holding equestrian magic within them, as weak as it is equestrian magic is the final ingredient for the summoning, Azar and the others are busy and cannot help me from here, what a shame; anyway I could replace them with a group of students that I met, I will simply teach them how to channel their dark energy out, this would be enough.)
"See? I told you he was up to something!" sunset said; "fine, you were right; continue reading to find out what it is." Applejack replied.
(Day 2: I decided to train them at the shadow realm, the first lesson was to unleash their power, to enable them to use their own magic, apparently they are good at it, however, their training is far from complete; at math class the half red half yellow haired girl was eyeballing me, Sunset shimmer I believe her name is, at first I thought it's just a rude act after I turned down her offer for a tour, but later I realized that she is suspecting me, now this is getting interesting.)
"So he knew all along." Sunset shimmer said, "let's see what else there is."
(Day 3: apart from sunny's attempts to find out what I am up to, this day was an average day; I thought about telling her about my plans so she could leave me alone, but I did not sense the trust in her; my temporary students are progressing well, I never knew that being a teacher can be fun.)
(Day 4: As the deadline comes closer I feel bad for letting my students go, it feels good to unlock people's potentials, and they all have a lot of it, especially that flash sentry guy, I think after the summoning I will take him as an apprentice.)
"Why would flash be part of this?" rainbow dash asked; "I don't know, this is getting more disturbing." Sunset replied.
(Day 5: I sense the trust within my students, I wasn't completely sure about this but I decided to finally reveal my plans to them, I told them about Lord Tenebris, and my plans to bring him back, and why I am doing this, I was surprised that all of them believed me, now I am more relieved, they all finished their training and I need to prepare the required materials for the summoning, so I decided that the day is off, and tomorrow we will begin.)
(Day 6: this is the last day I will be writing on this diary, I stumbled upon sunny who finally decided to face me to reveal my plans, I pity her for her foolishness and weakness, oh light people you are very predictable, I simply avoided her by the ring of the class; I am calling a meeting at the gym place in recess so I explain to my students about the summoning and what should we do, the ritual begins at 1 pm, the dark lord will return!)
"Oh no, not tenebris." Sunset said with fear on her face.
Rainbow dash asked: "who is this tenebris guy?"
Rainbow dash looked at her and said: "I read about him back in equestria, lord tenebris was a dark lord who waged war on equestria and almost took it, but then decided to move to other worlds and left equestria in ruins, we must stop darklight before it's too late!"
Pinkie pie then said: "there is a note!"
The writing on the note said: (all the days I am writing except day 1 are written for the sake that sunny and her friends find out about what I am planning about and try to stop it, for 2 reason A- so people don't think she is crazy, that feeling is painful. B- So that we could have a better story about how the dark lord returned.)
Rarity then said: "is he really risking the successfulness of his plans for these reasons?" pinkie then said: "there is another note."
Note: "if you think I am risking the successfulness of my plans for these reasons, I am not; I already know that I will win, I foreseen it, also I don't think that sunny would put much of a fight (despite the fact that I hope she is) she is a weakling."
"Weakling heh? We will see who will laugh last! Girls, let's go stop the summoning." Sunset said in anger.
The girls ran into the gym room while darklight was explaining the summoning, "We have been discovered!" flash said to darklight; darklight pull his watch from his pocket and said: "2 minutes earlier than I expected, maybe I underestimated you sunny, flash! Take this book, it contains all the information you need, prepare the site for the summoning while I deal with them."
The guys ran to the backdoor of the room, and before the girls went to stop them darklight was on the way.
"I will beat you up you villain!" rainbow dash said while dashing to attack darklight, however when she threw a punch at him he dodged it, grabbed her arm, lifted her and then threw her to the ground, knocking her out.
"ouuchh." Rainbow said in pain; "how dare you do this?" applejack said to darklight, to which darklight replied: "she attacked first, what did you expect?"
Applejack then said: "attack him all rapidly, he will lose focus and will be more vulnerable." And then they all proceeded to attack him, except fluttershy who was afraid.
Each girl was attacking darklight while he was dodging their attacks with no effort; order showed up and said to him: "so, what are you going to do after everything is over?" darklight thought while he froze rarity to the ground: "I think I will be staying in this school, I require scientific education if I want to become arch-mage." Balance then showed up and said: "and you think they will allow you?" chaos pooped while darklight was burring half of applejack in the ground and said: "of course they will these idiots will learn our intentions soon enough." Order then said when darklight zapped sunset with lighting: "and what about that flash guy? You said you want him as an apprentice, what if he refuses?" chaos then said: "then will for-"balance interrupted and said: "watch out darky, the pink one is about to do something crazy!" this pulled darklight's attention back as pinkie pie tried to launch herself on a cannon she brought out of nowhere, darklight then put his hand in front of her which pushed her to the wall, he changed his hand so she does not get hurt, but also moved it so she hits her head on the ceiling.
"Now who is left? The shy one, and the sunny." Darklight said while he was looking at fluttershy and sunset shimmer; fluttershy then said: "umm, mister darklight, can you please stop this?" darklight smiled and said: "oohh, how cute, if I was doing something evil and it wasn't very important I would have stopped, you seem tired, go to sleep." Then he pointed at her with his small finger and then she fell asleep.
"Now what do you have sunny?" darklight said to sunset, she pulled some dust from her pocket and threw it at darklight, he then felt a sudden pain in his brain; sunset said: "as I remember the dust of onion causes any type of magic to be weakened."
"Very clever sunny, I did underestimate you." Darklight said, but when sunset shimmer was about to attack him he put both his hands on her direction, she then felt a strong force forcing her to sit on her knees, he then added: "but magic, is not the only thing I know."
Sunset then said: "Why?" to which darklight replied: "I am not going to explain myself to you, you won't believe me, also you are such a pain in the neck, be happy that I am not an evil person."
"You won't get away with this!" sunset said in anger while the force was getting stronger; darklight then said: "this is not a movie so you can expect that by saying 'you won't get away with this' that I will actually 'won't get away with this', you will have to do more than that to make this story interesting." Then he increases the force causing sunset to faint.
She is then awoken by a familiar voice; she opened her eyes to see twilight.
"Twilight!" sunset said in surprise, twilight replied in confusion: "how do you know my name?" before sunset said anything like how she does not remember her, she noticed the different clothes, the glasses, and that spike is barking, so she replied: "long story, you are exactly like a girl I know who is named twilight sparkle, your dimensional counterpart apparently." Human twilight was surprise and said: "I knew there were other dimensions, but what happened here?"
Looking at her friends sunset asked twilight: "what time is it now?" twilight looked at her hand watch and said: "1 pm" sunset said in fear while she went freeing her friends: "oh no! He is starting the summoning, we better hurry." Applejack then said: "now where can we find him?" before she could finish her sentence a big beam coming from the football field went to the sky, twilight then said: "what kind of phenomenon is this?" sunset replied: "it's not, I will explain later, right now we need to move."
As they went to the football field darklight and his students has started the summoning; sunset said to flash: "Flash, stop this, do you realize what you are unleashing?" before flash could reply on her darklight said: "NO! We are containing a large amount of energy here, if we stop now the entire city along with us will be doomed. And you know that well sunny." Sunset shimmer tried to remember what she learned about such summoning, and then she said:" he is right, but there will be a time where you can be stopped."
As the summoning continued and twilight was confused of how all of this does not make sense especially at her first day at this school, then after a period of time the beam stopped, and a small wave of energy was released, a floating energy ball showed it's red eyes and mouth, that was the dark lord.
Sunset and the girls started to unleash their equestrian magic to stop darklight, but his students pinned them to the ground, flash said to sunset: "you will not interfere with what you don't understand."
As the girls were struggling to get free, darklight approached tenebris, he made a small snowman like thing from the equestrian magic he extracted and other things, as sunset got free tenebris entered the snowman like figure, making it grow into a body, then the body was covered with clothes and armor, and then a mask, the dark lord has returned.
Sunset watched in fear and said: "oh no!"
your writer speaking (i mean writing)
so i was late with this chapter, sorry about that i just got lazy, anyway i will try to make a mysterious shadow part 4 tomorrow or after, i expect it to be as long as this one.
you might be wondering about order chaos and balance, they are basically like those angel and demon in cartoon, order is based on the good darklight, chaos is based on bad darklight, and balance is based on his conscience, the girls basically thought they could make him lose focus while he didn't need it at all, except with pinkie.
(SPOILER)
there is a plot twist at the beginning of the next chapter.
