Months of planning and preparation have steeled Twilight and her friends for this day. All that they need now is Celestia's permission to proceed.
After being granted their request almost all the girls are ready to help Sombra become their friend, however those five can only hope that Fluttershy will find the courage to show kindness to the tyrant. The yellow Pegasus could only hope that kindness and friendship will be enough to save her from the most horrifying pony she had ever known. As for Sombra, his only desire would be the chance to take vengeance upon the ponies that stole his empire in the most horrible ways he can imagine. Celestia as always happily watches from afar keeping her hooves clean of the silliness her little ponies.

This one is a bit odd... in a good way. I had a ton of fun writing it to the point that I almost wrote the epilogue before I wrote the main body. I laughed almost the whole time writing this and I hope that I can make other people laugh with it... until the laughing time is over and it is time to be sad... then you can laugh again, but then be sad, then happy... then laugh once more... not necessarily in that order.
The credits now will roll.
The Fluttershy Vector came from here
The Sombra Vector/background was found here
The inspiration comes from that old idea that one should face their enemies with kindness, thus "Killing them with Kindness"
Someone needs to animate this NOW!
...
Well it's animated in my head. Seriously I had the whole thing running through my head as I wrote it. I can easily visualize the whole progression from start to finish with each piece slowly working together until the end. Unfortunately I am not artist enough to animate it myself, but I can dream.
Oh, my gosh. Death by kindness. The most cruel fate imaginable. But as they say, never, never trust the shy ones. They are the cruelest killers around.
On the side note. How come Sombra is considered a war criminal for ruling his kingdom with the iron hoof yet Shining got away and will probably continue getting away with his invasions while having little to no authority.
Epilogue in my head. Every alicorn in Equestria is killed off when citizens of Equestria rebel against the tyrannical regime of Twilight Sparkle who lobotomises anyone who isn't a saint.
Well it's either this or the ending to Injustice; Gods among us.
How long will we wait till the cannon epilogue?
4142843 I'm sorry... I was really hoping no one would as about Sombra's sordid past... sorry... Anyway! Sombra is a war criminal because what else do you call somepony who forces his army to attack his enemies with foals tied to sticks? Crazy, but also probably war criminal... sorry...
As for Shiny, he gets away with it because Twilight doesn't want to be a tattletale. Also because he really is in a way just teasing his little sister. So in Twilight's mind one would imagine her thinking of him as something of a war criminal.
The 'Canon' Epilogue will be available for reading some time tonight or at the latest tomorrow afternoon.
4144451 I'd call him both practical and cunning. Would you an adult pony raise a sword to block an attack of someone attacking you with a foal tied to the stick?
And yeah, I guess Shining is the nicest conqueror in the FiM universe. Still poor Twily, she will be forced into diplomatic marriage to protect her kingdom from Crystal Empire.
Btw, isn't the town library part of equestria? Meaning the CE has declared war on Equestria already.
4144631 You're looking pretty deep into a pretty random story...
As for Sombra's tactics, of course they are cunning, however due to the Equestrian Conventions of War, foal based weaponry is banned under article three, subsection XIII of the Lunar Concordance. Fun fact though, the development of pastry based weapons technology was banned under Article thirteen subsection III of the Pre Discordian, Solar Accord... The Pie Wars were not a pretty sight... unless you like the idea of Celestia and Luna throwing pies at each other...
Also Celestia has bequeathed Ponyville to Twilight as a future part of Twilightopia. Unknown to Twilight at the time of this story, Ponyville(and certain outlying areas) is her testing grounds to see if she can rule effectively(without even knowing that she is ruling) before she gets to be supreme Prime Minister of the Department of Homeland Literacy and Grand Poobah of the Centralized Bureau of Education.
"Then why didn't Shiny annex all of Ponyville?" Because none of that was true, basically Celestia doesn't view Twilight's brother as a real threat to her citizens, country, or herself so she basically ignored the sibling rivalry. Also everything else he conquered was part of Equestria too so wrap your head around that.
4145179 wouldn't Nightmare Luna use anti-cake missiles and banana bombs and mines in her battle with Celestia?
Also library bears the flag of Crystal Empire, not Equestria. Technically it's part of crystal empire and CE is a separate nation even if currently it is in a vassal state, for now.
And what can I say. I like the extra details my questions bring.
4146590 Oh don't get me started on the Great Banana Rum-cake Massacre. Also I did emphasize that it was a Pie War, and Celestia would never waste cake in battle... except on that one assassination attempt she made on Luna(Celestia age thirty, pushed her sister's face into the cake at Luna's twelfth birthday party... after the candles were blown out and removed from the cake.)
Well the flag thing only counts if the official ruler approves military action against a neighboring country or vital explorations of unclaimed lands. Cadence has not yet approved of military action against the Tyrannical dictatorship of Equestria... because Celestia is not tyrannical and also Equestria is too powerful for her to face in open conflict. Also it helps if the flag wasn't a crude replica painted on a bed-sheet. You also can't really explore long established communities and act like you discovered them.(I'm lookin at you Columbus) So suffice to say it makes Shining something of a radical separatist...also needless to say, but I will anyway, Cadence will not allow Shiny in bed with her until he surrenders his claim on the Ponyville Library.
You do know the extra details are all a bunch of nonsense I make up on the spot right? But I suppose it does slowly become canon for this story...
4147007 I do and thats the fun part, just as much as knowing that Shining is in the dog house. Even if Cadance sneaks to sleep with him there.
But wouldn't that assassination attempt force Luna to blow all of Celestia's cake reserves before or early in the battle to insure that Celestia couldn't use her thermo nukelary baked cakes as a last resort? Luna was wining the battle after all, until Celestia cheated and used the elemental steroid enhanced pie of harmony.
Also wouldn't Celestia allowing Twilight to lobotomise ponies with friendship drills make her a bit tyrannical, not to mention all the "accidental" deaths.
4147777 One , don't judge, even Cadence has needs that require her husband.
Two, Luna was twelve at the time and all the thermo nuclear Cakes and Genetically Enhanced Eclairs are in their imaginations. Pretty much one night Luna just started throwing freshly baked blackberry pies at her sister. Celestia retaliated with a return volley of Key Lime... it was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever...
Three, there is no Elemental Steroid Enhanced Pie of Harmony... Celestia doesn't believe in using steroids when a simple magic spell can be more... effective.(for more see Roid Rage a.k.a. Snow Flake, a.k.a. Bulk Biceps, a.k.a. Celestia's most recent experiment involving muscle magic and flight capacity removal.)
Four, Twilight doesn't lobotomise ponies with friendship drills. Such things were abolished after all the "accidental" deaths. So now Twilight lobotomises ponies with Fluttershy. Which is more effective and there is less death. I should write a story where Twilight actually has a body count... other than Pinkie Clones and Changelings.
This was... interesting.

I LOVE IT
4148645 Thank you kindly!
This was utterly silly and I entirely enjoyed it.
4581881 Well, I'm exclusively glad to hear that!
This was… interesting.
Poor Twily, I know how she feels, having a BBWFF myself. 
4863118 Thank you, also I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you and your brother find a way to work things out for the better.
This is why you don't plot to kill nice ponies. Karma is a bitch.
....and her name is Celestia.
Hmm. Maybe a thorough "discussion" with the wifey will help Shiney-whiney figure out that he's been doing a very, very bad job of making his sister happy.
7702862 Yeah, I especially loved writing Tia's last line to A.J.
7702888 Wait... before or after she lets him out of the giant pudding? Actually that might be a fun little sequel, Twi and A.J.'s wedding, Flutter's therapy, and Shiny's... Punishment?
7704250 I'm afraid that I have been sworn to silence on the ways that the Princess of Love ensures good behavior.
I'd like to get married someday, and I prefer it when my pets don't hate me. Not that the sweet and wonderful Cadence, Princess of Love would ever do anything but help!!
7705152 Yeah but is she helping Shiny be a better pony, or is she helping Twilight get a better brother? Equestria may never know.
7705493 Exactly.
