Before the crack of dawn, Celestia, Luna, Geo, their father and their grandmother traveled back to Canterlot to confront the imposter posing as the current king.

Meanwhile, back in the royal palace, a shady figure from within the king's private headquarters had all the window shades closed, making the whole room dark with very little light even from the moon itself. This character was obviously the imposter, posing as the king.
"Maybe I could just cast out one of my evil curses already", said the being, "Even without the Amulet of Time Control"
Then, the being took the shape of the king and headed for the highest balcony.

As soon as the siblings and their grandma reached Canterlot, they found that the queen (Celestia, Luna and Geo's mother) was standing outside, quivering with fear.
"What's going on mother?", asked Luna.
The queen pointed with her hoof up at the highest balcony in which the king was upon, he was giving a very evil grin.
"Show your true form, you imposter!", shouted the real king.
The false king then started to change shape. First, his eyes turned red, his mane and tail started to turn into black mist and his whole body turned into one round black cloud with glowing red eyes.
"Kurayami!", cried the grandmother, "So you have returned!"
"You vowed to help us Alicorns protect all of creation when you were Karu", said the queen.
"And I still shall protect all creation", assured Kurayami with a sinister tone, "But when you all fall under a great slumber, you shall all awake with no memory at all and I will tell you that I am your ruler!"
"Deceit and slef interest will never be virtues that all Ponies honor", said the king, "But still, why did you turn evil in the first place, those many eons ago?"
"Because", replied Kurayami, "I am finished with taking orders from flying, Unicorn-like Entities. Now, my darkness shall descend upon you all! Also, one day one of the royal children shall become posessed by me. The youngest looks perfect"
"I will never be a host for you!", shouted Luna.
"But I can already see the future, and it does not look good for you. "Nightmare Moon" sounds like a perfect name for you once you are posessed", responded Kurayami, "Now, back to current duties!"
Kurayami then did an evil laugh and then unleashed a powerful wave of black energy at the night sky, sending great dark clouds across it, so that neither day nor night would be able to be seen ever again. Kurayami then grabbed hold of its own Raven minions and absorbed them into its body for more power. The evil thing then bolted out and grabbed a few more scavenger Creatures from all around, absorbing them all in in:
Some Monitor Lizards
And some Baboons

Kurayami then returned to the family in its new form that it had decided to take whenever it wanted. It was (thank's to the essence of the Ravens, Monitors and Baboons) an enormous Creature at about 50 feet high, walking on two Primate like legs with long sharp claws on its toes, long Primate-like arms with long claws on each finger, a Reptile-like torso, large Bird-like Wings, a short snout with long sharp teeth and two segemented red eyes on top of its head.
"Your journey...", spoke Kurayami in its frightening new form, "...Must end"
"By the will of us Alicorns!", shouted the family, "It has just begun!"
"Then perish under my great wrath!", hissed Kurayami as it started to make tornadoes appear all around, sending the family teirling miles around the land.
As for the current king and queen, Kurayami immediately imprisoned them both into a floating cube of stasis energy, keeping them dormant.

Celestia regained her conciousness to find herself to blown into the middle of a very rock-covered mountain range. She looked around but their was no sign of her family anywhere in range. Kurayami then swooped over to her and gazed down at her looking at it in fear.
"Looks like it is just you and me", hissed Kurayami, "I can still take control of the whole universe, even without the Amulet of Time Control"
"I don't need that mythical piece of geology to defeat you", said Celestia fiercely.
"How can you defeat me?", mocked Kurayami, "You are just an adolescent female"
"But I am an Alicorn!", she snapped, "My kind nerver surrenders!"
