I...won?
He was so close. He could almost feel the power coming off it, and soon, all of it will be his. All the power of the crystal kingdom will be under his control, and this time, no one will stop him. Not even the princesses, or was it pronounced princessi?
He ignored that thought and concentrated on the task at hoof. His body had already reached his whole form, so now, he was no longer a black cloud with a face, but now it was that of a pony, but he didn’t care, the only thing he cared about was that “crystal~”
“I really need to stop doing that.” He thought. He never really knew why he said it like that, sure, he liked crystals, and they are the only thing that, not only gives him great power, but are also keeping him alive, but he doesn't have to say it like that, he even pronounces, “Slaves~” that way too. Did he like them too?
He shook these thoughts away and continued climbing toward the crystal, his vision was locked on that crystal heart, nothing will stop him from reaching it, he knew his power was far too strong for anypony to get in his way, only a fool will try.
It was at that moment he saw something, or someone, was after the crystal as well, it was right behind it, some weird, purple...lizard? He couldn’t tell from here. He stepped forward on his platform to see that there was, indeed, a purple lizard falling toward the crystal.
“What a foolish reptile.” He thought “How will that thing even survive this, even if it catches the heart he’ll die when I reach impact. It’s not like I’ll save that hideous thing when I reach it, so why is he after it?”
Sombra looked down at the crowd of crystal ponies, each one of them looking up. “Does he think they'll reward him for his bravery? Build a statue in his honor? These ponies can’t even remember their own names. That was how I enslaved them so easly in the first place, they would probably die out from their sheer stupidity. How will they even know who this reptile is?” He looked back up. “How will they...wait...did I see...no, I can’t believe it...really?” Sombra lost his focus on the crystal and saw something right below him. This time it was a pink blur.
“Pink!” He knew exactly what that blur was. It resembled that meddlesome princess. “That clever couple,” He thought. “using the 'throw the wife’ maneuver to try and stop me.” He recognized that tactic anywhere, where a husband threw a wife at a target to catch anything in mid air, and Sombra had to admit, that white unicorn truly had the arm. Unlike him.
Sombra remembered trying that once with his queen, which would explain why he doesn't have her anymore, “I just hope that bug isn’t still mad at me.” He shook his head again, getting tired of all these thoughts that were going through him. “How have I not reached the crystal yet?” He looked straight forward and saw that the heart was only yard away.
“Nice try Miss Cadenza,” He thought with a grin. “but I know just how to counter such a maneuver.” He narrowed his eyes and stepped back from his still ascending pedestal. He arched his flank in the air like a cat and, with all his strength, leaped off.
He then quickly regretted it once all three of them collided into each other. It was also then that he realized he didn’t have any wings. He felt the force of the wind as he fell. “Maybe this wasn’t the best ide-”
*SLAM*
“...ow.” Sombra felt pain in his back, and his neck, and his head. Just about his entire body was in pain, but that quickly went away once he rolled off his back and on his side. He heard gasps around him, “At least my ears work.” He thought. “Now if my eyes could just cooperate with me I can...hu?” Sombra opened his eyes, and even though they were still blurry, He could tell exactly what was in front of him.
The crowd of crystal ponies were starting to move away from him, he smiled, knowing that they still feared him, at least he had that going for him. He turned his gaze to something that resembled a pink blob with some purple on it, or magenta? No, it definitely looked purple, or was his eyes still adjusting to color as well.
He groaned and slammed his hoof in front of him, causing the crowd to yelp. He continued to groan as he pushed himself up from all of this, this...whatever this was, he wouldn’t call it an injury. It’s not like he was in real pain, it just hurt falling several stories from the sky. He was still powerful to withstand such a hit. He survived being in ice for over a thousand years, so he was pretty sure he could survive this.
He finally got on his front hooves. He turned around and saw that his lower half was still on it’s side. “Now if I can just get on my back ones up, then I can..can...um...bah! I’ll worry about what I’ll do later.” He grunted and pushed hard, it was becoming very difficult for him to do it, with only being able to breath through his nostrils, because for some strange reason, his mouth refused to open, even though it felt like it was open, and that it was...holding...something...in…
“How in my name…” Sombra finally got on all fours and reached for his mouth. He heard more shock from the crowd doing so, and once he stuck his tongue out, he realized just what they were afraid of.
“Holy...slaving...crystals” He whispered. “I...I have it…The- The crystal. It’s...it’s...mine…” He inspected the crystal heart on all sides, seeing that it was, indeed, shaped like a heart. He tapped it a bit, held it too his ear, he even licked it to see if it was true, and it was.
He turned to the crowd to see that his vision had finally came to, and now that it did, he could see that the pink blob was the princess on the ground, looking like she was unconscious, as was the lizard that laid on top of her. Sombra was starting to have the same reaction the ponies were having. Dropped jaws, looks of horror and shock, but that would soon change with what would happen next.
He was ready for this, he had prepared it over and over again in a mirror, and even a couple times with his slaves, but he wanted to take as much time as possible, to make this be a minute that would last forever.
Sombra held his head down and started walking toward the fallen princess, the crystal now in his magical grasp. He could feel it coming, the one thing that he always wanted to do in a situation like this, what everyone would do at a time like this, the one thing that would always start slow, then end with fear.
First was the chuckle, and with every step, it grew louder. Then came the half-laugh, where it was still a chuckle, but it was getting there. He then started raising his head once he loomed over the princess. Surprisingly the pink princess raised her head as well. “So she is awake...good.” She look up at him with a determined face, which quickly turned into shock as she realized just what had happened.
Sombra smiled at the princess, looking deep in her eyes, seeing that she knew it was over, that he triumph, that she was no longer in charge, that it was his turn to be ruler now. He closed his eyes, ready for the next part, the one he enjoyed the most. He raised the crystal heart in the air, reared his front legs, craned his head to the sky, and with a deep breath...
He laughed; he cackled; he roared; he yelled in victory; he screamed to the sky above, so loud that thunder came from it. Once he was finished with one round of laughter, he did it again, laughing more and more, each one more fearsome than the last. He finally did it. He won. He’s the ruler now! He continued laughing, and laughing, and laughing.
That was, until the fifth round of laughter came, then the sixth was starting to calm down, as was the lightning, and when the seventh came, he was starting to lower his front hooves down to the ground, and then a short eighth round of laughter came, with this one, he opened his eyes, seeing most of the ponies were starting to become more concerned than scared.
It was when the tenth round came that he lowered the crystal too, and this one was the last, he chuckled a few times, hoping to bring it back, but it was over, the whole ‘evil laugh’ had finally ended. Now, it was just him, with a crystal in his hooves, a crowd of crystal ponies, a princess laying in defeat, and an awkward silence between all of them.
Sombra looked around, wondering what to do next, usually something would interrupt him. A yell from someone in the crowds, where he would then blast them with magic, or the princess saying ‘you won’t get away with this,’ with him making a comeback, saying ‘I already have,’ or a bolt of magic coming his way, or at the very least someone tackling him to the ground. "Come on ponies! Do something!" He thought.
But no, they just stood there, some of them looked around, seeing if something else would happen, some were rubbing their arms in embarrassment, and the princess herself was looking down in awkwardness too. Sombra looked back and forth again, and since no one else would say something, he decided to do it himself. He raised the crystal in the air, and with no confidence whatsoever, he said,
“So...um...Yeah! Hail the king! And all that...stuff...um...uh...new ruler and..uh…” He then lowered the crystal and scratched his neck. “Wow, this is awkward...Um, can all of you just...cower in fear or something...I don’t know...uh...” Sombra looked at the crystal. “What was I gonna do with this thing again?”

BAM! Love it.
Awesome story!
Um, re-take control over the crystal kingdom, like had so many years ago, without fear of his one weakness stopping him? geez.
5001553 don't remind himmmm
Eeyup, I think that's how most evil villains would react, considering that their evil plans never go as planned, and are usually thwarted time and time again.
I'm SO doing a read of this with my Sombra voice!
And to not forget the whole scene.
I like it.
Is it bad that I have a plan for what I would do if I conquered anything?
you must construct additional pylons.
5002979 not at all. every evil genius has one. unless your not. then that's weird on all sorts of levels.
5003094 There's an evil genius in all of us. You just have to let him out
5003009 WE REQUIAH MOAH VESPEEN GAHS
he could turn Cadence and spike into slaves.... make Cadence wear rags, have Shining armor chained to a wall to see how his wife suffers, and have spike wear a french maid outfit.
5003386 No, he needs to remember the Evil Overlord List. No matter how much fun it would be to keep Cadence and Twilight as sex slaves, the smart thing to do is to use them for taxidermy practice.
And then Celestia and Luna show up and shoot him in the face like last time, since they didn't need the Elements against such a weakling in the first place.
Twilight is punished for being an utter failure and Sunset Shimmer is dragged back from weird high school Earth and made the new Element of Magic, even though she's evil.
5003106 Pfft, as if. I'm shocked the majority of the people I've met can remember to keep breathing!
SOMBRA: Silence! Now, after 1000 years of waiting, I'm going to challenge you to a children's card game! And then I'll destroy the world!
SPIKE: Why would you want to do that?
SOMBRA: What?
SPIKE: What's the point in destroying the world? What do you gain from it?
SOMBRA: ...I don't understand the question.
SPIKE: Look, you must have some reason for wanting to destroy the world. Otherwise, this whole movie was just pointless bickering!
SOMBRA: Of course I have a reason!
SPIKE: Oh, goodie! Do you feel like sharing it with the class?
SOMBRA: No, it's a secret.
No, I totally didn't rip that off of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Oh, and every time Sombra smiles, a puppy dies.
5002979 Not at all. I have one I've been working on since 1991.
It's about to come to fruition.
EVERYTHING is part of my Master Plan! Even the Argentine ants that keep getting into my sugar bowl! IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN!!!
5001553 Well, except for the fact that Celestia and Luna took him down with nothing but their own power.
ALL HAIL SOMBRA
KING OF SPAGUETTI
A thousand years is a damn long time to forget your motivations.
5003542 I never understood villains that want to destroy the world. It just seems like a waste, like you're just throwing away a planet-spanning empire and almost limitless power. But hey, that's just my opinion.
Actually, yeah.
What would he do with the heart?
Ok, let the game begins.
I have nothing to say.
The story is not a ten out of ten, however, is not a zero.
I'm really confused, usually I found bad, and good stories, but almost never I've found something like this. Obviously is a comedy fic, that means that I can't take it so serious, maybe that is what I feel. But I really don't know. The only story that maked me felt like this was Fangs, but...
I don't know.
Here, Take a Fluttershy while I'm thinking in a review
NotARealGameReviewer-10/10: I T0T4LLY DIDN'T S33 D4T C0M1NG! (My response to this:
)
This is really good, and I do give it a 10/10, or at least 8/10. (The review above is a joke. A bad one, but still a joke, and if anything a good stereotype.)
Good, now sir, you shall be be put in a collection of neurons to be called upon time and time again to help fill a void of scoial interaction. You should feel honored, since not many , well maybe a lot, ok , all that i come into contact with gets this honor, but still, i have 300 boxes of participation medals, and i don't know what to do with them then to give them out to good fanfic writers.
Alright guys, I'm back from studying!
So, how's my fic go.....ing....
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/777/299/b17.png
...
Nope.
Not gonna question it.
Just gonna write the other chapter.
How is killing them not a long term answer?
5003578 Some men just want to watch the world burn
5003620 Destroy it?
Oh my god, that made me laugh so hard! Thank you, thank you!
5004201 Because killing off the mane six within the first three chapters, many views does not make.
This story looks like it has ALOT of potential, but seeing as how you already have alot of "in progress" stories, I'm torn between whether I should hope you continue this story or Stories to (not) Tell Little Hatchlings
Interesting. Reminds me of Vavacung's "When the Villain Wins" comic series. (sadly just recently ended...TT.TT)

Eat the crystal heart rape the pink princess
And so it was that Sombra (KING OF THE DARK CRYSTALS!) got lessons from Twilight on the modern Equestrian world, learned from Shining Armor on how to be a good husband, got some tips from Princess Cadence on how to reconnect with his estranged Queen, and with the help from the rest of the Mane Six got the Crystal Empire to become the dominant economic force in crystal-based economic resources and products!
An impromptu visit from the CUTIE MARK CRUSADER REBELS! helped him to overcome his fear of being a father.
A stallions night out with some new buddies (Shining Armor, Bulk Biceps, Fancy Pants, Flash Sentry, Big Mac, & Spike) concluded with a strange case of noodle incident that somehow wound up with Sombra wearing socks.
5003578
Nonsense, you have to make an example of the first planet when you start your own Galactic Empire.
5004490 True, but still, it seems like a waste of valuable resources and subjects. Maybe just blow up a planet like Tatooine. Nobody will miss that place.

Okay, THIS has potential. Let's see where you go with it!
5004322
He could perform upon them the ultimate humiliation of banishing them from the Crystal Empire. Forever! He could escort them to the city limits, pointing out all the sights they'll never be able to see because they've been banished forever. Naturally, this should be done in song.
5003578
I have seen exactly one series where the villain's desire to destroy the world is entirely rational and motivated by self-interest. That would be the Thomas Covenant one.
That said, I feel fairly certain that the vast majority of other world-ending-desiring villains are due to the author just wanting to the bad guy to be super duper bad.
5004364 Huh, that looks like fun. Do you have a link?
5004660 Huh, I'll have to do some research on that and see the rationale behind that.
We srsly need a scene with King Sombra dancing at AC/DC
Oh look, the dog finally caught the car
