Silent landed on the towers top floor and entered the room where Nightmare Spectra was in and smiled to see the corpse of the night princess. He then coughed into his hoof and his crow landed on top of his head "My goodness, I sure did miss a party." he said to himself.
Dark walks around the city, trying to stay hidden. He needed to get off, but with regular patrols.... He would get caught almost instantly. He sits down under a newly erected statue, working through his options.
"I am Silent Night and I come to offer not only my skills and alligence but I could also give you an army that would require no food, no medicine and no sleep but there only desire will be to shed blood in both of your names." he exclamied proudly as he bowed to them.
"This intrigues me," said Nightmare Spectra, as she considered the offer, "We could effectively double the size of the Nightmare Army." "What other skills do you have?" asked Nightmare Glitch, also interested in Silent's proposal.
"Well say you need someone dead but more quietly and that's a thing I can do. not only that but say that you are looking for outside help like the Griffins and they refuse to negotiate and that's where I come in, I can offer them not only a sweet deal to dominate Equestria with you but you can take their land their usefullness is at an end, how does that sound to your ears my lord and lady?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow cracking up a huge grin.
Soir was in shock. Luna's lifeless body was still crackling with magic energy. "I failed. You idiot! Why did you have to save me again?!" Soir punched the ground beneath him. An overwhelming anger was filling him. "This won't be last you see of me. I will assure that Equestria runs red with your blood. I swear it." Soir's horn glowed, and a star appeared beneath him. He teleported away, but before before causing a moderate sized explosion damaging the surroundings.
"Excellent. now since you captured Cloudsdale and I do expect you want to capture more settlements so how I consider this one as a freebie." Silent said as he blasted the corpse of dead princess and she started to get up very slowly.
"Yes..." said Nightmare Spectra in a satisfactory manner, "Everything is going according to plan." "Raise as many of the dead as you can. We need the troops if we want Equestria to be ours," ordered Nightmare Glitch.
As Mage was training... it happened again. Another strange magic burst from his horn. Except worse. A lot worse. It even caused him to fly backwards and crash into a nearby mountain. Mage fell to the ground. He then saw strange visions of an evil looking pair of ponies, one looking like the famed Rainbow Dash he had heard about, and Luna... shockingly... dead. He awoke with a jolt. Then... he became very tense. Sweat coursed from his body. He began to get a bad feeling. The bad feeling was from... Cloudsdale. That was when he finally noticed the increasingly darkening clouds that seemed to be coming from, it figured, Cloudsdale. Mage froze in place. His mind began to run a mile a minute almost. "Even if what I saw was true... there's nothing I can do now..." thought Mage. Mage then quickly began to trot as fast as he could back into Canterlot, to warn all of his fellow students, teachers, and friends of what may be coming as well as what he saw.
"As you wish, now I shall find where you keep your dead workers and add them to your army. Good day." Silent said as he departed to find a huge supply of dead bodies.
Dark looks around, seeing a few guards dragging a corpse. He watches them go into a warehouse, quickly slipping inside. He hides behind a barrel, peeking over it to watch what was going on.
Silent flies into the open window of a random warehouse and gasped in awe as he saw piles apon piles of bodies, he chuckled to himself darkly and yelled "YES!!!"
"Well I was looking for a place to not only do my experiments but to have a nice supply of dead bodies as well and..." he said as he twirled around like a little school filly getting candy "I have found my ideal home slash work place. And that is what I want Guard."
"As you wish," replied the guard, as he left the building. Elsewhere, Spitfire was reshaping the Shadowbolts into Equestria's new secret police force.
Killjoys hackles rose, she sensed something wrong. Terribly wrong. She looked to the sky, her face and paws were dirty. Cloudsdale loomed over. Darker than usual. "This cant be good." She growled softly.
