Hello my people. I am back with another chapter (Bout fucking time) so enjoy.

Many hours later of useless stuff that is not worth putting in

"We finally found where it came from." DB said halting about twenty yards from a large cave entrance. They had traveled long to be at a cave opening in the Ghastly Gorge.

"So, whatever killed the ponies in Ponyville rests in here. Let's get this over with so I can fight you later." Diablo said as the group headed in. The cave entrance was very natural as any other. Diablo used his magic to light the path throughout the shadow covered cave. However as they traveled in, it became less and less natural. It was as if somepony was reverse mining. A light became more visible in the distance. It was growing to huge proportions with the cave walls. Eventually they reached the end. A somewhat broken, luxurious, spinning chair was spotted in front of a glowing wall. The glowing wall's light materialized into a picture of the Canterlot castle as the chair spun around until the pony in it was facing the group of soldiers.

"I've been waiting for you. Do you want to help my cause?" Spoke a deep voice. Before any of them could respond however, he spoke again. "Who am I kidding. Of course you wouldn't join me. I sent out a pony to destroy Ponyville and to fake Nebula's appearance. And you've traced it back...Congratulations! However there is no prize except for the satisfaction of knowing you found my organization before you died. But before you reply to that statement...What are your names?"

"Um. I'm DB."

"Diablo."

"Informant."

"Avenger."

"Wayward Son."

"Traitor."

"Ah excellent. My name is Corvus. I'm the one who was left behind and let it all slip away. But now I'm back and now it is all of this age who are all going to be left behind. I feel compelled to tell you that I am in possession of the Elements of Harmony and the Keys of Harmony except for two keys. Not that you'll live long enough to tell anypony. Now shadow ponies assemble!"

Meanwhile back to Blackjack.

Shadow pony guards had captured Blackjack and took him up to the throne room in the black crystal castle. The sight was the end of a violent battle. Crystals stalked out of the ground and into the ceiling everywhere and blast marks were left in what seemed like every square inch. A gray pony with a black flowing mane wearing battle armor along with a kingly cape was sitting upon a throne. The pony had dark red eyes with a lime green color surrounding it with some sort of purple mist flowing outward.

Blackjack instantly remembered back to a book he had read about this. This was the infamous King Sombra who had turned evil after the loss of his loved one. He thought Sombra was defeated by the Crystal Heart but then he spotted the Crystal Heart shattered on the ground. To the right of the king he saw two crystal statues of Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor holding each other while they seemed to cower. Blackjack trembled a little bit but instantly regained a calm composure.

"State your business." Sombra said.

"I'm here to make peace with you and the Solar Empire." Blackjack responded.

"No. Guards throw him out."

Meanwhile at Vanhoover (Lunar Republic capital)

"Ow! Where are we?" Asked Black Lightning rubbing his head. He lifted his head up and saw he was in a small room in a bed with Hearth Fire sitting in a chair beside him.

"About time you woke up. We're at Vanhoover in the military base." Hearth Fire said as Black Lightning got up.

"Glad you're awake brother." Smash said entering the small room. Then First Lieutenant Rebound entered the room.

"You all suffered some injuries but you're all patched up. We got Smash's silver club, Hearth's daggers, and your necklace recovered. Your necklace looks like it cracked from impact from that second spell. Would you want us to repair it?" Rebound asked.

"No no. It's fine." Lightning replied. Suddenly, a blue pegasus entered the room.

"The zebra is back sir!" The pegasus yelled before leaving.

"Oh great. Not again. Come with me." Rebound said as he ran to the base's outpost near the gate.

"Who's this zebra he talked about?" Hearth asked.

"He's a hired sword from Celestia. He's trying to damage the base a lot so that it takes time to repair and resources we need. He is a rather large stallion, almost as tall as Celestia. But he is oddly thin, and this usually makes us under estimate his true strength. His battle gear has a tainted red chest plate, cut high above his stomach. His hind quarters are usually covered in high level riot squad leggings, several suspicious concoctions hanging from the utility belt. His stomach, legs, neck, and lower halve of his face, just above his mouth, are all covered in gauze and bandage wrappings. These are usually fresh, but occasional splatters of blood. What little of his fur that is left visible is a dark and tainted green, and is also covered in various scars and chemical burns. He has on industrial strength steel hoofed boots. On his back he carries a large green bottle, the top sealed tight with a cork that is wrapped in a cloth. It's full of quite volatile chemicals and gasses. His eyes are a tainted yellow, and seem to glow to the point that you cannot tell if he even has pupils. His tail and main are a washed out grayish purple. I only know so much because I've faced him before! He is tough!" Rebound explained.

"Geez. I hope Smash doesn't get any ide-and he's gone." Black Lightning said looking to where Smash should be. They climbed the stairs on the inside of the wall and outside the gate was Smash watching the zebra get closer and closer.

Meanwhile at some other location of some sort

A pegasus and a unicorn were walking across the San Palomino Desert. One has dark blue fur with a grayish white mane with streaks of gold and blue and a grayish white tail with streaks of gold and blue. His cutie mark is a gold shield with two swords crossing behind and with wings behind the entire thing. He is the pegasus and his name is Broad Sword. The other has a white coat color, his mane color is grey, and eye color is blue. His cutie mark is a shield with a blacksmiths hammer on it. He is known as Auranos.

"So how are we supposed to find some cultists in the middle of the desert?" Auranos asked.

"Not sure. It could be two feet away or maybe two million feet away. But in this damn sandstorm it's hard to tell." Broad Sword replied. These two were sent by Luna to find cultists who are supposedly trying to bring unseal and revive an infamous witch pony. With this witch running around, nopony would be safe.

?

A time from old Equestria was taking place. Celestia and Luna were just alicorn fillies at the time who were playing with their once normal and alicorn brother Discord in a family room of a castle. The mother and father watched happily as the fillies played. However there was one alicorn filly who watched from an overhang beside a set of stairs holding a small brown teddy bear. He seemed sad and filled with envy as he clutched his teddy bear tighter and tighter. He had a bright blue coat and a bright red loose mane and tail. His cutie mark was peculiar. It was a bright white blast but no pony could figure out what it meant his talent was. When the filly alicorn was asked, he not tell and instead turn away and not reply to the question. But that was after the tragic event that scarred him took place.

Well that's the chapter. Didn't have a whole lot of stuff because I still need OCs! So review, favorite, and follow. Don't forget to use this form to send in OCs. And if your OC hasn't come in yet, don't worry. They'll all get in. And if your too paranoid for that just pm me. So thanks and goodbye.
