- >You are Anonymous the Lich
- >You've arrived in a world that is a complete anathema to everything you hold dear.
- >Teeming with life
- >Host to an idiot populace
- >Void of troubles
- >Well... Thankfully, no longer the latter.
- >The forest that you came from is where this strange band of adventurous ponies were headed.
- >As it stood, they had been moving through the forest timidly.
- >Yes, ponies, cower before the darkness as you should.
- >Entertain me with your mortal fears.
- >The forest was getting darker.
- >Unnaturally so, you could tell, from the pressence that was smothering the woods.
- >As if on que, the equines cowered in fear as their minds began to-
- >The pink pne bounds forwards, breaking into song, and laughing at the phantasmal ghouls within the trees.
- >I am 10,000 and what is this
- >Before long, the entire band is bouncing around, enjoying themselves as they use lauter against the forces of darkness.
- >Nerull have mercy, is this a poorly written play or something?
- >This Nightmare Moon was an amateur if she couldn't handle some giggles.
- >Shamfur Dispray, Nightmare
- >Commit Sudoku, before you further shame all other Evil Overlords.
- >You can hardly watch as a series of other orchestrated events utterly fail.
- >What, did this Nightmare Moon flunk her final exam on crushing meddling adventurers?
- >Was she really so inept as to play to her enemies strengths?
- >You'd be sure to punish that failure of a mastermind once you find her, or rather, your guides find her.
- >Ah, at long Nerull-Loathing last.
- >The destination.
- >After five failed attempts to destroy the band, you're understandably less-than-impressed by Nightmare Moon.
- >Hopefully she's atleast able to kill this blasted horses in a manner resembling a productive, Evil Overlord Approved manner.
- >If she dangles them above a pit filled with Aligators, you're going to come out of these shadows and slap her shit.
- >You ain't even fucking kidding.
- >You're that annoyed with this bitch.
- >Oh, look. They found the MacGuffin.
- >Such a strong party, they overcame all the challenges! Now they get the-
- >Holy shit bitch, that was smoooth!
- >Nightmare Moon just stole away the Elements right from under the purple ones nose.
- >Oh, that was magnificent. A real A Grade play.
- >As if on cue, the other five panic, and run around like zombies with their heads cut off.
- >"Look!"
- >Oh come on. You took them, litterally, fourty feet away?
- >It takes the other five longer to get to the action than you, and choosing a vacant window, no longer host to glass, you return from the shadows to watch with full Sterio Suround Sound.
- >The purple one paws at the ground.
- >You've got to be kidding me.
- >"You're kidding."
- >Please, tell me she's kidding.
- >"You're kidding right?"
- >The unicorns horn glows with power, as she charges.
- >Nightmare moon leaves her position and counter-charges.
- >Oh Carrion Lord, my sides. This is comical, truly, comical.
- >The power on the horn builds up. This is going to be a big spell.
- >In a flash, the Unicorn teleports at the last second.
- >Nightmare Moon is left disoriented.
- >Your respect for this purple one grows somewhat. That was well-played. Well-played indeed.
- >Leaning back, you watch as this Unicorn goes to work and attempts to use her "Elements of Harmony".
- >Something about them was familiar, but you weren't quite sure how.
- >Magical feedback bolt!
- >ohgodmysides.jpg
- >Nightmare finds it less hillarious, but that's okay. She's about to-
- >Oh, it takes every ounce to keep from actually laughing.
- >This MacGuffin is the single worst you've ever seen. Utterly pitiful.
- >With a stomp, the Elements shatter.
- >Girl, you dun well. Maybe there is a chance for redemption in this one.
- >Cue the mandatory gloating.
- >"Now you will never see your princess, or your sun, again. The night, will last, Forever!"
- >Well played, bitch.
- >Welp, time to step in and take control of this Nightmare moon, then begin your dark reign.
- >As you prepare your spells to annihilate both of them, you hear caloing from the distant staircase.
- >"Don't worry Twilight, we're coming!"
- >Twilight? A passible name. You'll let her keep it when you-
- >Why is that Twilight character smiling? Didn't she just get defeated?
- >Nightmare moon, stop showing off, even I don't wastetime on such frivolties.
- >"You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?"
- >Uhm. Yeah. Kinda just happened Kiddo.
- >"Well you're wrong, because the Spirit of the Elements are right here!"
- >All six are assembled, and something begins to click.
- >You've seen this before... Where had you seen it?
- >The shards glow woth power.
- >They rise off the floor.
- >Wasn't this a bit like...
- >The six ponies become focal points for the spinning shards, as Twilight goes over their virtues.
- >This was awefully similar to...
- >"You still don't have the sixth element! The spark didn't work!"
- >Twilight explains in so much sappy detail why she was wrong.
- >Then, and only then, it clicks.
- >"The spark ignited in me when I realized you all.. Were my friends!"
- >Nerull, no.
- >No, no no.
- >Not this again, anything but this.
- >With a shower of rainbows, they begin to charge their blast.
- >You know EXACTLY where this is going.
- >You know EXACTLY what's going to happen.
- >This is effectively a repeat performance of how you were defeated.
- >At the time, you were too blind to pay any attention.
- >Now?
- >You're not just taking notes, you're studying every action.
- >A blast of rainbows swirls around Nightmare Moon.
- >There is a blinding flash of light, before silence overtakes the palace.
- >And the sun begins to rise.
- >Where Nightmare Moon was, now lies a younger Alicorn.
- >Fuck this shit, they just redeemed her, didn't they?
- >And then, a massive horse, with a multicolored mane, arrives.
- >You don't bother listening.
- >You're too busy glaring holes in this 'Twilight'.
- >She is just like that young Wizard that used the 'Elements' before.
- >Your animosity is peerless.
- >Your cold, burning hate knows no bounds.
- >Every part of you sings out for retribution.
- >Visit ruination upon these lowly vermin.
- >But you stay your hand.
- >Their sun-raising God-Queen, who chooses to be a 'Princess', is present.
- >And she is very, very powerful.
- >You will hatch plans for this.
- >You will scheme.
- >You will stack everything in your favor, and, when the time is right, you will strike, decapitating this whole race.
- >Death will reign over all, the eternal silence of the grave shall claim this land.
- >Your burning witchfires never leave Twilight Sparkle.
- >These are not just ponies, made soft by peace.
- >In some perverse bastardization, they're weaponized kindess and friendship.
- >Even as they leave, your stare never leaves her.
- >She pauses, the Queen gone with the newly-reborn 'Luna'.
- >The sun is in such a position, that your shadow archs across the hall, casting a dark shade across this room.
- >She gazes into your hateful eyes, her mouth going agape.
- "Soon."
- >You allow yourself to melt into the shadows, your echoing, single word booming through the waking stillness.
- >Indeed, soon, very soon.
