Dark Light's journal, Entry 32

I have created many things since my initial first kill, and since than, I have crafted

creatures of unimaginable power. Every new addition to my army is a blessing in

disguise. The amount of energy and magic it takes to create these creatures has

exhausted me to no extent.

But, in other means, I have sustained a stable relationship with Flutter Twist. Every

time me and her get together, we do the same thing. First, dinner. I talk about how

I've had some company, she talks about the missing ponies and murders that have

happened. After words, we go to her place. We mess around for a bit, talking, watch a

movie, drink, and then go to her room. What we do there, I will not say. But tonight

will be different. I will show her what I do. I will make her understand.

Dark Light set down the pen and journal and sighed. He wasn't looking forward for what he had to tell Twist. He looked at his clock and saw that it showed 5:45. He would meet Flutter Twist at a restaurant at 7:20. They would eat, have a fun time like always, then they would go to her place. When they walked in, he would tell her exactly what he needed to say and show her exactly what he needed to show her.

But before all of that, he had to take a shower. The smell of blood, death, and sweat was all that there was of his odor. Yes, he thought, a shower is the most important thing on my list. He stood up and and nearly toppled back over. He landed on his knees, and struggled to get back up.

He was happy that he had created such amazing creatures, but he was also resentful. Creating a new addition to the army, such as the first Night Spectre, Dark Stalker, or Crescent Howler took a huge toll on his life force. In fact, the only way they could be made is by a very precise set of ingredients.

The first, is a demon. And this had to be a powerful one, not the ordinary run of the mill demon. It had to be powerful to create life. That alone was difficult. The next part is a little of his soul. And not some itty bitty scrap. It had to be a good portion. He had already given away 75% of his soul. He could create no more beings, or else he would become an empty shell.

The next ingredient is a sacrifice. This could be any one, but it has to be a pony. He had no problem fulfilling this requirement. Luckily, the only part of his soul left is the part that loves Flutter Twist. He made sure to leave that part alone.

Dark Light was still trying to get up, but he just couldn't. Eventually, he called in his mind for Derpy to come and aid him to the latrines. She was there in a couple seconds. She picked him up and carried him to the bathroom.

When she pulled open the door, she stepped in and put Dark Light on the toilet. It wasn't the first time that she had to help him take a shower. She turned the water on exactly the way that Dark liked it.

She went and grabbed some towels. When she saw that Dark Light was trying to get into the tub by himself, she grabbed him before he could fall and helped him in. Technically, since they all had new lives thanks to Dark Light, the Abominations tended to be protective over him. He was their creator. Well, in their minds he was.

He grumbled his thanks, and tried to use his magic to pick up his shampoo. The magical aura glowed around the object for a minute, then sputtered off. He sniffled, but held back tears. For a Unicorn, not being able to use magic is like not being able to move his forelegs or hooves.

He had been having this problem for a while, and it's been showing on his recent dates. What with him not using magic and sadness and sleep deprivation showing through his eyes. She has asked him what's wrong, but he won't say. But all will change at tonights date.

Derpy started to wash Dark Light. She used the most tender of touches to cleanse him of the grime on his body. Dark Light felt relaxed to say the least.

But that's not to say that he didn't at try to have fun in the shower. He picked up some red paint that he kept in his shower and began to make symbols on the walls. It was a different color every day, so they never blended in. And the paint, and walls, were enchanted so that he can paint all he wanted and they wouldn't become runny.

He painted so many things. But all were foalish. He painted a sun with a smiley face. He painted a family, a tree, and finally, he painted his 'friends'. And by that, I mean Lust, Killer, Insanity, Master Mind, Silver Shadow, and Derpy Whooves.

He looked up from the picture and pointed at it. Derpy stopped her cleaning and looked at it. Inside, she smiled. But on the outside, he expression was emotionless.

Eventually, Derpy finished with her cleaning and prepared to get Dark Light out of the tub. She held out her hand, and he accepted. She got him out, and dried him off. They than went to comb his mane and such.

{Flutter Twists Apartment}

Flutter Twist had just gotten done brushing her mane and tail, and was trying to pick out a dress that was appropriate for The Hooves Reunion. It was one of those plushy snooty places in Canterlot.

But, her being a police chief, she counted as 'important'. She had decided on a red dress with white trim. (I'm a guy, so if it don't sound good, well, now you know why) She grabbed it and slipped it on. It was a teensy bit loose, but it was enough to show off a little of her body. Just enough to get Dark Light excited.

She was happy that she was in a relationship with him. But she was worried. About Dark Light and the amount of ponies missing. She was worried about Dark Light because he was almost always sad. He never used his magic, and whenever he tried it always just sputtered out, making his eyes water.

But, he only did that behind Twists back. She just pretended to not notice. And she was also worried about the recent murders and sightings. That thing that attacked the police not even 2 months back has been spotted around town. Along with tall, bipedal creatures wearing armor and wielding wicked looking swords and axes.

And there were noises in the night. They sounded like the demons were running around having a party. All of these had caused an evacuation to take place upon the town, but a place for all of them was being figured out.

Flutter Twist shook her head and continued to prepare for her date. She was having the best time with Dark Light, despite him not wanting to show his cutie mark. She had always tried to take a peek when they were in bed, but he was really good. In fact, she was already getting tingly and weak in the hind-legs just by the thought of him.

Come on Flutter, stay focused or you'll be late, she thought, scolding herself. She went about her routine, brushing, rearranging and all of that. She took about 82 minutes to get ready, and only 7 to get out of her apartment building. She looked up and down the street, and took a left. She may have been given a higher pay, but that didn't mean she could afford a better place. Hell, if anything, the raise only allowed her to pay her bills on time for once. And either way, she liked the little place. It was nice and peaceful.

She had been walking for a couple moments when she had entered the town square. She looked around and saw all of the posters of the missing ponies. It was depressing. So much so, that she had to look away.

She continued walking, and didn't stop until she reached the train station where Dark Light was supposed to meet her. She had to wait a couple minutes for the train, so she had some time to kill. She took out her favorite thing in all of Equestria. Her bouncy ball.

She bounced it up and down, up and down. She did this for a while, before a figure appeared right next to her. She was pulled into a hug. And, after realizing that it was Dark Light, she laughed, spun around, and kissed him on the lips. Her lips were tender and soft against his.

They caressed each other lovingly, not wanting to let go of each other. But they had to, for the train had pulled up and they had to get on. They escaped their embrace, breathing heavily, looking into each others eyes lovingly. "You know," Dark Light started "unless we don't want to be late, we should probably be late." Twist put a hoof on her chin, contemplating her options.

"Hmm, well it did take me a lot of persuading to get one of those snobs to let me and you in. I think we should go. Besides, I'm hungry, and I don't feel like making anything right now." she stated matter-of-factly. With that, they trotted over to the train conductor and handed over their tickets.

He looked at them and nodded happily, stepping aside to let them in. They made their way to the First Class compartments.

They had to go to booth 1, so they investigated all of them until they finally asked the conductor. "Excuse me, but can you tell me where booth number one is?" Twist asked. "Oh, so you're the VIP's. Here, let me show you where it is. It needs a key to open anyway." and the conductor walked off with Dark and Twist in tow.

While on the way, they heard many snippets of conversation. "Daddy, how come we didn't get the VIP booth?" "Why are those peasants walking to the VIP booth?" "Baby, at least wait till I close the door before you start!"

Dark Light laughed at the last one. He summoned up the remainder of his magic and left a little present in the room for the stallion. All Flutter Twist did was blush and fan herself lightly, getting a little hot at the thought of what was going to happen to the stallion.

They reached the VIP door in a couple minutes. The conductor used his mouth to get the key, seeing as he was an Earth Pony, and slotted it in. He turned the key, maing the door unlock. Obviously. "Welcome, to the V. I. P suite!" said the conductor, sweeping his left fore-leg. Both Dark Light and Flutter Twist gasped at the grand room.

It had a swinging crystal chandelier on the ceiling, The walls were made of marble and there was a luxurious bed standing at the back of the room. There was a button labeled 'Room Service' and a mini-fridge.

They were in awe. They had never seen a room quite like it. Well, Twist hadn't, but Dark Light had all of these things and more at his mansion/cottage. He just wanted to look in awe for the show he had been putting on with her ever since he had met her.

They took a seat on the bed next to each other. They were a ways apart, but that small distance was quickly closed by the need to feel each others lips. They kissed each other, passion fueling their motions.

Their hooves began searching the others body, caressing each others pleasure points. Flutter Twist tickled the back of Dark Lights neck, making him moan in appreciation. In return, Dark Light began to rub Flutter Twist's cutie mark, earning gasps of pleasure.

Amazed at the dirty trick he had pulled, she quickly began to nibble his ears, stroke the back of his neck, and rub his cutie mark. His expression was priceless, making Flutter Twist giggle.

Dark Light was in heaven, but he didn't want to be bested, so he began to massage her left hoof, kissing and biting gently on her neck, and put more pressure in rubbing her cutie mark. She gasped and threw her head back on a passion filled moan. Throwing patience to the wind, she began to tear off the tuxedo he had on, while he began to unzip her dress.

They climbed under the sheets, happy to have somepony to hold and to love.

{Back at Dark Lights home}

Insanity stood on a cliff over looking the army with Master Mind and Killer. The army had grown from only 246 Abominations, to well over 1000. But they would need more if they wanted to take Canterlot, let alone Equestria.

The trio observed the creatures. Watching as they fought with each other. Suddenly, Insanity spoke. "Killer, I want you to prep the army. Make sure they are prepared for the coming battle. Master Mind, I want you to explain the plans to the generals. We must be sure that they can all be ready and willing to act on the Master Dark Lights orders." Master Mind and Killer both nodded before trotting off, leaving Insanity alone to think.

He thought about the others. About Lust and Mind and Killer. He thought about how they would be. None of them were truly ready for the war to come. Only him and Dark Light were truly ready. The others were practically still children. But it was too late for that. When Dark Light gave the order, the Abominations would destroy Ponyville, turning all of it's beings into Abominations themselves.

But there was a catch. Only one fourth of the population would become true Abominations. The rest would become nothing more than ways to spread a fluid among the others, including some of the army. It would make the beings become either an Infector, or a super-powered Abomination. Growing in size and sometimes being able to use magic of any type. They could possibly even fly, if the wings could take the weight.

All of this was Dark Light's plan. He called the fluid a nectar, for he found it in the deepest, darkest part of the Everfree Forest. Extracting it from the flower that created it was hard, but he did it. He even found out how to produce as a chemical.

He looked at the clock on the wall and began to tap his hooves. When was this order going to come in, he wondered.

{The restaurant, end of dinner}

Dark Light had to support a drunk Flutter Twist out of the restaurant. The waiter had been a real dick and loaded her up with alcohol. Something he tended to do often, apparently. "I'm sorry sir, but I thought I was helping you!' was what he said when Dark came up to him. He tried to say something about making it up to him, but it's hard to speak with a broken jaw.

Oh well, he thought, I don't care anymore, the end will come soon enough. He grinned at this thought, and proceeded to try to make his way to the train. But he was stopped by the princess of the night herself Luna.

He almost didn't bow when he saw her, knowing what was gonna happen, but he did it anyway. He may have been plotting her and her sister's demise, but he still had to keep up his show. If only for a little longer.

"Princess Luna! What an honor it is to meet thee. May I ask what thy business?" he asked, acknowledging her old way of talking. She smiled. She was flattered that he would talk to her in her old Equestrian way of speaking. "Indeed," she began "we are here for Flutter Twist. Our sister Celestia wishes to speak with her about Ponyville. Do thee wish to tell us if she is sober enough to deal with such an occasion?"

They both looked at Flutter Twist. "No" they said in unison. They smiled for a bit, before Luna brought up a question. "So Dark Light, why has thee not been online for so long. We wish to play Call of Colts with thee." Dark Light smiled lightly at this. "I don't think I'll be on for a while Princess." The princess couldn't understand what he was talking about, so she decided to leave it.

"Well, we can take her to the castle and let her rest in one our guest rooms. And if thee wants, thee can come too." Luna smiled as she said this. She knew that her sister would object, but she wanted to be helpful. And at this moment, 'helpful', was inviting Dark Light. He considered his options.

In fact, it would look better for him to be here than when the attack went down. Nopony could tag him with as a suspect because he would be in Canterlot. Impossible to orchestrate an attack when you're miles away.

"Yea, I think I'd like to. I want to make sure that Flutter Twist is ok." Princess Luna smiled at his answer, and quickly teleported them all into one of the castle guest rooms.

Light looked around at the regal room, and saw a lot of dark colors. There was black, dark blue, dark red, even a dark black, if that was possible. But he smiled at the room. He liked it.

He then turned to Princess Luna and bowed. "Thank you Luna," he said "I appreciate the opportunity you have given me." She smiled, nodded and left to tell Celestia that they had company. Dark Light took to trying to set Flutter Twist on the king sized bed, but he didn't know how to get her up. Eventually, after some trial and error, he just threw her on his back and wobbled over to the bed and slid her in. She was snoring comfortably, so he went over to a chair and sat upon it.

He then concentrated very hard, summoning up his connection to the other four beings in his head. He only made connection with Insanity, but he was better to talk with than the others.

Insanity set up an astral room for them and they walked into it. Dark Light walked over to him and looked him in th eye. his horn had become sharpened, and it looked like holes were cut into it, and things carved on it. His eyes were small and intelligent, while his mane was tangly and greasy. His hooves were covered in blood, and his face mask was painted black, with red runes carved into it.

Insanity nodded at Dark Light, and he began to speak. "It is time Insanity. Gather the troops and make sure that they are ready. I want them crying for the blood of every being they cross paths with." Dark Light snarled all of it, and Insanity could sense the anger behind his voice, yet he didn't understand why. "As you wish, my Master." and Insanity disappeared.

Smiling, he returned to his real form and looked around. Flutter Twist was reaching out for him, calling his name. He couldn't resist, so he went over to her and stopped her searching.
