"Alex?" a mare whispered to me, her voice interrupting my sleep. "I don't mean to disturb you, but if it's no trouble, could you wake up for me?"
If it were any other voice, I probably would have ignored it. However, hearing that it was Fluttershy, I decided to give her the courtesy of opening my eyes. She hovered slightly above the ground on the side I was facing, which was good because I wasn’t in the mood to turn over. She gave me a sad look, and I saw Applejack standing behind her, rubbing one of her hooves against the back of her leg uncomfortably. “Good,” I thought. “You should be uncomfortable.”
“Oh, you look awful!” Fluttershy commented, seeming like she wanted to cry at the sight of me.
“I feel awful,” I responded simply. Then, directed towards Applejack, I asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Ah, well…”
“She wants to say she’s sorry for not believing you before,” Fluttershy explained.
“Well, I don’t want to hear it,” I said flatly, watching her wince. “She can apologize by getting me out of here. Until then, I won’t forgive her, or the rest of them either.”
“I understand,” she told me politely. “But that’s also why she and I came. We want to see if there’s anything you can tell us to get you home.”
“And she’s here to make sure I’m being honest right?” I asked. “As if I would lie?”
“She’s here because Twilight split us up into groups.”
“Oh. So it’s Twilight that doesn’t trust me,” I sighed. “Whatever. I don’t care. I’ll tell you whatever you want, even though she'd probably rather do anything else.”
“I promise,” Fluttershy assured me, “that I’ll make sure Twilight does everything she can to get you out of here. She actually gave us a bunch of questions to ask you. But only if you want to answer them, though.”
“Better late than never she helps, I guess," I mumbled. The two gave me an uncomfortable look for a silent moment, before I broke it, saying, "Ask away.”
"Well, she wanted to know if you felt or saw anything strange just before you got here."
"Nope. It looked and felt like I blinked. There was no lapse between me being at work and me being here."
"Did you do anything strange just before it happened?"
I thought for a second, trying to remember if there was anything out of the ordinary. After a few seconds, I responded, "Nothing that I can think of."
"When you got here, what happened."
"You all came in and decided it would be fun to try to kill me," I thought bitterly. I might have said it had it not been Fluttershy asking the questions. However, seeing as it was, I decided to try and be helpful.
"Twilight was there, and she called for Cadance to get Celestia and Luna."
"Okay, um, was she there before you got there, or after?"
"After…. you think it was someone else who brought me here?" I asked.
"Well, um, Twilight thinks it's a possibility. She's actually searching for spells that somepony might have used to bring you here. But, um, she also wanted to know if you felt any different so far."
I was angry and more depressed lately, but other than that…
"Not really,” I answered, and waited a few seconds to be asked something else. “Any more questions?”
“No, that was everything she told us to ask.”
“I have something to say,” Applejack spoke up.
“I already told you that I don’t want to hear it,” I told her. She opened her mouth to try and continue, but I interrupted her. “I don’t want to hear it, I don’t forgive you, you should feel bad, and I’m placing all of the blame on you specifically. If you would have said I was being honest in the first place when you knew I was, I’m pretty sure this would have all played out differently.”
The two stared silently at me, Applejack with a look of pain and shame, and Fluttershy with a slight grimace. “I don’t care if she’s hurt!” I said defensively, raising my voice before they could say anything. “I don’t care! It’s frustrating knowing that it took Celestia becoming Daybreaker for them to realize that maybe they should try and help me! And all I can do is lay around and wait for something to happen! So yes, she should feel bad!”
“Alex-”
“No! I don’t care! If you want to stop helping me because of that, fine! I don’t care! I can’t do anything for myself, and I’m not going to wait around for months for something to happen anyway! Whether you’re able to find a solution or not, I’m not going to suffer through this for more than a few weeks because I can’t stand it here!”
I was huffing by the time I finished my little rant. Fluttershy gave me an expression that was a mix of sympathy and concern, and reached her hoof out to put on my shoulder. “Don’t touch me.” I told her before she could put her hoof on me.
She stopped herself, saying, “I promise, we’ll do everything we can to get you out of here.”
“Pinkie Pie! Come quickly!” Rarity called, as she stood at a small podium reading a book. The pink mare hopped over to where she was, looking at what her white counterpart saw. “Look at this! It’s a diary that Sombra kept!”
“Cooooool! Does he talk about how he and Celestia are secretly best friends and how they're pulling the most amazing prank of all time on everypony?"
"Um, no. But he does mention having a friend in somepony named Radiant Hope, and it has me rather intrigued. It says here that he wanted her to be with him when he tried to take control of the Crystal Empire, and that she wanted him to try and run before Celestia and Luna came."
"And you think she secretly tried to resurrect him, but somehow messed up and made everything all wonky, and now she's gone because she realized that she couldn't do it and is looking for a better way to bring Sombra back so they can take over Equestria while finding true love with each other, don't you?"
"Well, not quite that exactly, darling," Rarity told her. "Although I do think that Twilight would be very interested in reading this."
“I hope you guys did better than Rainbow Dash and I are doing,” Twilight said, looking up from a book on teleportation as the group gathered in the Crystal Library. “We haven’t found anything useful yet… although somepony could be opening a book up.”
“Hey, I’m helping!” she protested. “I’ve been flying back and forth getting the books you asked for, haven't I?”
“Not really. But in any case, have you all found anything? Fluttershy? Applejack?”
“Um, well,” she stared quietly, “Alex said that when he got here, the first thing he saw was you, and that he didn’t feel or do anything strange before he got here. He also said that it was instintaneous, as if he blinked, and that you were the first pony he saw.”
“That’s good, that’s a lot to go off of.”
“He… is also frustrated, and would really, really like it if we were able to get him home as quickly as possible. He's getting, um... fed up with waiting.”
“I'll make a note of that,” Twilight said dismissively. “Rarity and Pinkie Pie?”
“Pinkie and I found a diary Sombra left before Celestia and Luna banished him,” Rarity spoke up, giving the book to the princess. “In particular, you might want to skip towards the end, when he talks about a mare named Radiant Hope, who seems to me to almost empathize with him.”
She took a minute to read through what Sombra wrote with a look of concentration on her face. “This… this is great!" the mare told Rarity excitedly. "This is really helpful! And with what Fluttershy told us, we should be able to come up with something soon!”
The yellow pegasus let out a tiny sigh at that news. “What are we going to do?”
“Well, from what you told us, it seems much more likely that… um, Alex was brought here by somepony else. And, judging by this diary, and assuming Discord is being honest about not being involved, the two best options we have are Sombra and Radiant Hope.”
“And since it will be fairly difficult for us to get in touch with Sombra at this point, you think we should look for Radiant Hope, don’t you?” Rarity finished for her.
“I’d say that’d be a great place to start, especially since she got her cutie mark after helping Sombra recover before. She’d probably know more about what to do in this kind of situation, and might be able to help us if we can find her.”:
“But if he wrote that diary before Celestia banished ‘em for a thousand years, then there’s no way she’d be around today. And if she was, she could be anywhere! It could take forever to try and find the gal.”
“Not really,” Twilight explained. “If she brought him back in the first place, then she’s probably been following us and keeping an eye on him, and is bound to be somewhere in the Crystal Empire. I don’t think she’d just run off to somewhere else. Not only that, but the heart was stolen today, and since it couldn’t have been Chrysalis, and Tirek and Cozy Glow are in Tartarus, and Som- Alex was with us, that leaves her as the only reasonable explanation. I mean, who else would steal it and then put it back? I think she was trying to help Sombra, and then realized that he might get hurt if it were missing."
“Okay, let’s say we do find her.” Applejack said. “What then?”
“I don’t know. But I think finding her would be a great first step.”
hmm yes I really feel for the MC ,Applejack really screwed to pooch on this one
Um, author. WHAT did Rarity say about that Big Ugly Monster insult. Alex, Real Sombra, or yourself???????
10213753

The End (Sorry, couldn't help making a mini story in here.)
Wonder is Sombra is starting to effect Alex. Or if this is natural negativity.
Awesome chapter. It’s good to see that Alex has a back bone unlike other MC’s
No need to dislike my comments. It's just for Fun people.
10214010
Thank you, I like to be a Badass. And help a fellow human with another Equestrian crisis here.
Aww he so depressed now.
Wonder if Radiant has figured it out yet...
Keep going! ;)
Originally I was planning to add this story as another story I've read, but I changed my mind, putting this to the fav collection
10214132
Yep, she DEFINITELY needs a long talk from her sister, and the Main six. After all, she is being a major jerk, and very childish for a THOUSAND YEAR OLD!!!
10214134
Opposite Mental problems I guess.
So does this version of the diary also include the part about how Sombra didn't snap and go all evil till he found out Amore knew the crystal heart tortured him everytime the fair happened for it's full duration?
Great chapter dude! 👍
10213857
Your emojis make me want to die.
10214529
What's wrong with emojis? Everyone can make emojis here, and I see some people make a lot of them In the comments. 🙄
Plus, I know you. Your the author that makes that great WH40K story with Vulkan from the Salamanders Space Marines. And seeing you make that very rude comment, makes me a bit sad and uncomfortable.
P.S. What is with some people with "Make me want to die" comment, it sound like a Suicide type prank. That topic is screwed up, and IS NOT FUNNY people.
10214638
Oh there is nothing wrong with emojis, however using them in every sentence makes them more an annoyance then a funny little addition.
10214681
Thanks for telling me. I just put them in to Show what character's emotions on their faces, or how they feel look like. Plus, even though the emojis are in most of the sentences. But, there NOT in ALL of them.
Edit: I reduced the emojis, is that better? 😐
Already nearly done with the story?
10214720
Nice, God job. 👍
10214720
Yes, there's going to be a chapter six and seven, and likely chapter eight.
10214690
OH MY GOD THANK THE LORD! YOU MADE IT SO IT WAS NOT A STRING OF THE SAME EMOJI THANK YOU! Also its not rude its just me informing you of my dislike for what looks like a sentence written by someone who doesn't understand basic grammar, you do. But it just looks like the terrible fan fiction I used to read, and made me cringe, have a good one.
10214776
Ok 😑. But it did sound rude to ME! With the over the top: " This Fanfic, Video, or Comment is so BAD!!! That I want to Kill myself!!! " Clichés. That I have seen in the comments on Youtube, and various FanFiction Sites like this one.
And please DON'T Insult my intelligence! I know basic Grammar and more. I finish and graduated in High School two years ago. And this reminded you of a terrible Fanfic????!!!!! 🙄
I may went Overboard with the Emojis. But I at LEAST don't make any spelling mistakes, or make it so you know what the word is. I seen WAY WORSE Grammar, or Spelling errors in the stories or comments in this site, where some people can't spell BASIC Words Right!!?? I feel sorry and pity them.
10214811
"a sentence written by someone who doesn't understand basic grammar, you do." I said you do have a good grasp of grammar, I was saying that one comment reminded me of bad grammar, not cause of your actual words, I didn't read it, but when I saw all the emojis that was the FEELING I got.
10214911
Sorry for the misunderstanding. But I like to make some short mini stories in the comments. One for fun, and to practice for my own Stories later down the line. And I can make lesser emojis for now on. I just like them. But, NOT the Movie verison!!!
P.S. Surprised you didn't comment that I read your WH40K story.
10214948
Its just a story, not my best work, but it the one to be featured, many people have read it. I just don’t see much point in commenting on the fact you recognized me, honestly I would have preferred no one cared about my connection to it.
10215121
Not your best work? *Seeing it has over a 100 Thumb's Up* 😑
You don't have to be uncaring on your stories. Their are good.
10215250
In my opinion its not as good as my first work cause of the work I put into that one, doesn't mean that it got anywhere near as many likes or views.
10215309
Alright. Your opinion. 🤷 But, I do like it's a WH40K and the EMPEROR with the Text to Speech Parody.
The Author’s note killed me.
This is a great story man keep going.
10214332
That might have an impact so it should
10213753
Twilight isnt the only one screwing up big time. Its nice to see consequences. AJ will learn from it hopefully...
10213759
Neat But Authors note is more of a silly moment event
10213762
Yeahhh... No.... Its Impossible to be honest all the time by social norms alone. But being dis-honest in a critical time... Thats the problem...
10213769
Ha! Nice one
10213861
Try imagen you are him... Pretty sure we all are 'negative' in the situation
10213997
He is forced into it... We see ones his hide isnt on the line if that the truth...
10214010
Good story... Just lacks 1 epic fight that also can include a lot of character development, the Involvement of the other mane6 annnd Lunas take on 'this Twilight'.
10214016
1 like for that
10214019
Neat
10214031
How bearly any time passed and she lacks reader omising view and any decided facts...
10214529
That sad... We need more Emojis MLP theme. In that i agree ♡
10214062
Few good Sombra storys. Wile there is a lot space for Improvement its already in my favorites
10214150
Agreed. Wile its not really childish i think she really needs a Friendship laser to the face to get her act together...
10214153
Seems like it.
10214332
When the 'Good' ones are acting like only 'evil' one should
10214638
Agreed
10214681
Because 1 sentance comments are so good to give ones emotion unlike emojis? Literally what they are for...
10214690
Nope 1-2 emojis per sentance to give context are perfectl fine. Like i just do with this chain comment. Reduced the space. Like answer/comment on another one.
10214720
This one bearly started dude Its like you ask after Season 1 Episode 5 if the series is almost done...
10214759
Waaay to short... That very dissapointing... Guess it cant be helped if you dont like to write long storys
10214811
Judt ignore him
10215378
Love the Youtube version. Very entertaining.
10215763
PRICELESS indeed
10223253
Oh I know. The one thing that really got me about it was that Celestia mentioned the heart channeled the emotions of all the crystal ponies. That could be interpreted by him as all of them (except Radiant of course) intentionally did that to him.
10223256
Wow, total Assholes right there. They unintentionally created their own monster. F***** IDIOTS!!!!
10223253
Wow nice to comment MY comments there. But, when you say "Yeahhh... No.... Its Impossible to be honest all the time by social norms alone. But being dis-honest in a critical time... Thats the problem..." .
I'm just Pissed Off on Applejack for ignoring the fact that Alex is TELLING the Truth himself. None of that crazy drama stuff, and possibly including Celestia turning into a crazy psychopath: Daybreaker, NEVER happened!!!! If Applejack just believe Alex's Truthful words. For THAT reason is Why she DOESN'T Deserve her Element of HONESTLY!!! 😡
10223253
No, one sentence comments are usually used for criticism, or responses to questions asked...like the question that Omni asked.
10223304
To be fair... Celestia would turn even with AJ telling the truth. Celestia know Alex dont lie and ignored anyway!
Now AJ can be the one everyone could blame... She is the Scapegoat everyone will point out
Daybreaker needs a Friendship laser to the face like Nightmaremoon. To 'fix' her up... After that they can work on on Alex situation. Or as Luna probably plans do it on the opposent order
Maybe Alex can become a gray Necromancer?
Undead to take care of the fields to increase food production, mine workers to go for hazard aread to optain minerals without lose of life & guard that protect rooms from Intrusion. They never tire, need food or water and can follow simpel and semi difficult task.
How about giving him the knownlage and right to become a therapy focus pony? He has a sence for hate. He could go again Xenophobe movements and similar things. I see so mutch potencial in a human owning other dark powers for creative out of the box thinking for the benefit of others and show that user intent is as important or even more so than the actual power.
10223399
When you put that way, yeah. That's why Alex is REALLY Pissed off on Celestia AND Applejack, for what happened to him. And I hope a SUPER POWERED LASER will kill off Celestia's dumb ass Hate, and be guilt ridden and TRY to make a HUGE ASS Apology to Alex.
As for a Grey morale Necromancer and Dark Magic for Good????!!!! I feel neutral about that. While it SOUND Good on paper on the Food Production, Mineral mining, Military and Security forces. But, since Ponies are Weak Willed and are "Sunshines and Rainbows". They just get SICK and throw up alot.
You get what I'm saying?
10223253
It has been a few days and she's been watching him. Even the Sombra she knows isn't going to be that good at deception in our opinion...
10225118
We will see how this continues BUT there a blanks to fill in this story... So many... Hard to tell what coming next with the blanks not filled. We can just hope it getting better
Bucking wonderful.
well that's one way to reveal the villain's motives for people who hadnt figured it out yet
I know it was a throw away line... But imagine how big of a shamalan twist that could have been!!!
.....
Ok, I'm going to be the guy who is going to be set on fire for having a different opinion, But I think Alex is being an ungrateful ass!
All he does is whine and complain on how everyone is being unfair toward him and not believing that he isn't Sombra, while pushing away the only ponies who actually believe him!
What he seem to fail to really understand is that he is in the body of one of the most horrific villains in all of Equestrian history: King Sombra, Murderer of the last Crystal Princess of the Empire, and Enslaver of his own citizens, just two of his undoubtable many crimes that we know of his reign at that time. What other horrors he committed where so terrifying that even when free, The mere mention of that time that he ruled, let alone his name, sent Crystal Ponies to cower in fear, possibly to the point of subconsciously suppressing their memories. When he returned in Season 9 he was able and willing to enslave hundreds of pony minds and used them against their friends and neighbors. (Thankfully it was a kid's show and no one was really hurt but hundreds if not thousands could had died easily)
Sombra is a monster that deserves Death, at the very least eternal imprisonment with no chance for parole (encasement in stone in Tartarus preferably). Had he existed in the real world he would be shot no questions asked, the fact that these heads of state (whos' duty is to protect their citizens in any way possible from all threats) are giving Alex the benefit of the doubt (mostly Luna and Twilight but still quite significant) on a mere possibility of the fact that he isn't Sombra due to his unusual behavior and his strange claims of the impossible is a sign of just how kind and thoughtful princesses they are trying to be.
What Celestia did was terrible and stupid, but you try being calm with the person who had killed your family and was a known slaver and warmonger sitting in front of you! (I currently don't know what her relationship with the last Empress was but they were clearly close) I'd probably would have lost it too if I was told that I might not get the justice that he deserves after all the suffering he caused. Honestly it's amazing she lasted five days! and I'm sure if it hadn't been for Radiant Hope she would have lasted longer, maybe long enough to also give him the benefit of the doubt.
And again, it doesn't help that Alex just expects the worse and pushes everyone away when he could be trying to prove his innocence, at least to the other Elements of Harmony and maybe Cadence (since Celestia already heard his story before and/or she's apparently a mind reader as is Luna). He could talk about his world's history in a way that is too real to be faked, or talk about his life as a human. I know that, apparently, there have been other humans that came to Equestria in pony bodies, but give them enough details of Earth's Geogrophy, History, Astronomy, Etc. And they shouldn't be able to disbelieve him! All I'm saying is that, at the very least, He should try something other than being an (understandably) angry ass!
Alright, I said my piece, I'm ready for the angry Comments now.
10436683
*Insert angery comment*
But honestly, I somewhat agree and disagree. Stress and hopelessness does bad things to one's temper, and in this case Alex is probably both and some more. While what he's doing is stupid and doesn't exactly help his case, I can see where it's coming from.
Kinda hoping they don't find Radiant Hope tbh
10436683
Go watch shield hero. That should illustrated to you how it felt to be persecuted by the crime you don't commited.
