A spell gone wrong

by LilBronies


The return of an old foe (Trades and Deals)

"King Sombra?" Twilight couldn't believe the pony that was standing before her. She took a few steps backward asking... "How are you doing here?"

Sombra evilly grinned at her, revealing his sharp, vampire like teeth.

"Your little friend might have destroyed my old, mortal body" Twilight was growing to become frightened. "But he didn't shatter my remains, like he should have done."

Twilight's eyes widened. "So... what your saying... is that - "

"I have survived all of these years by just possessing this one crystal." Sombra finished her sentence.

This is awful! Twilight thought.

"Did I just release you from that crystal?" She asked, although she already knew what the answer was going to be.

"Nnnuhahaha!" Sombra, once again, let out another maniacal laugh. "It would appear so...*humph*... princess."

Twilight glared at him.

"You don't have to keep calling me princess you know."

"Mmmm... a feisty little prin-uh-pony. Aren't you?" He complimented her.

Did he just... compliment me? Twilight thought to herself. At least... I think that that was a compliment.

Sombra changed the subject.

"I understand that you have had a little... error, in your new spell Twilight Sparkle."

The princess of friendship's eyes widened, as she returned a glare to him.

"How do you know about my spell?!" Twilight violently asked, her horn started to glow with a beam of magic.

"Calm yourself little pony..."Sombra grinned. "I simply heard a little... birdie tell me."

The glow from Twilight's horn died down a little.

"Who?" She asked. "WHO?! Who told you about the spell?!"

The dark unicorn chuckled. "Wouldn't you like to know... princess?"

Twilight shot a beam of magic at him, but Sombra had managed to dodge the beam by simply floating to the side... and when it was safe, he floated back.

"Ah ah ah..." Sombra teased at her."Let's not do anything that we might regret."

"I don't think i'll regret anything else that I do." Twilight replied through grudged teeth.

"What if I told you that there was a way for you to... cure your failed spell?" The dark unicorn asked.

The glow of Twilight's horn started to die down again. She looked curious instead of mad.

"Really?" She asked, filled with excitement, but trying her hardest not to show it. "You know what the cure is?"

Sombra chuckled, then returned a smile to her. "Absolutely." He told her. "But, if you wish to know what it is..."

Twilight's excitement turned into disappointment and fear.

"What?" She asked curious to what Sombra was going to say. "What do I have to do in order to save my friends?"

"Join me." He told her.

Twilight's eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" She blurted.

"In order for me to tell you what the cure is," Sombra informed her. "You must join me on my quest to take back what's mine..."

Twilight thought for a moment.

"You want to rule over the crystal empire again?"

"Yes." He answered.

"And... you want me to... help... you?"

"Correct... princess." He chuckled

Twilight glared at him, grinding her teeth together.

"And you actually think that i'm going to help you take over the crystal empire, and quit possibly, ALL OF EQUESTRIA?!"

Sombra frowned.

"Very well then."

"But, of course," Sombra broke away her thoughts. "I could just let you keep wandering around equestria, hopelessly searching for the cure... instead of just joining me. Easily letting your friends being returned back to normal." He said suddenly starting to float away.

"WAIT!" Twilight shouted. Sombra stopped.

"I will join you in quest to take over equestria." Twilight paused. "In exchange... you will restore the memories of my friends up to this day."

Twilight stepped closer to him.

"Do we have a deal?" She asked, extending her hoof for him to shake.

Sombra grinned. He turned around and whispered to her,

"We have a deal." Then shook her hoof.

"Princess."

He started to, laugh maniacally again.

After a few seconds of Sombra evil cackling, Twilight tried to let go of the hoof-shake... but couldn't. She could not remove her hoof from his.

"Your mine now princess." He cackled. The sky turned gray, the wind blew hard, and the leaves were flying rapidly around Twilight and Sombra as they started to float above the ground.She closed her eyes and tried to free herself from Sombra's grasp, but couldn't.

Twilight cried. "Help! Me!"

Sombra continued to cackle. Nopony was coming to save Twilight. She had now cursed herself with the slavery of Sombra. She could feel invisible shackles chained to her legs.

"Nopony can help you..." Sombra laughed, using hi magic to force Twilight's eyes opened. The lavender pony's eyes were full of tears and fear.

"You belong to me." Sombra eyes darkened as they turned into pitch black fog.

Twilight stared straight into the darkness of the eyes before her. She could not look away, her head was permanently... stuck. Staring into the endless eyes of her new master. Twilight could only see one thing in her eyes... darkness.

There was an explosion of a magic green, red and purple beam that came from the two ponies. An explosion that would soon spread all across equestria.
