    >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.
