> Evil Can't Die But It Can Change...Sometimes In Unexpected Ways > by ppg1998 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I sit patently in the snow waiting for someone, anyone coming this way. I then shiver a little bit from the cold. Even as a ghost it's still bucking cold. Oh hello I did not know anyone was listening. whatever another crazy voice in my head won't bother anything. For those who do not know me I am the infamous tyrant known as king sombra. Also I'm dead thanks to that purple unicorn, her stupid baby dragon, and that damn new crystal princess. Hehe well at least the current crystal princess has some bravery. The original one I killed over a thousand years ago went out like a bitch. I can still remember her crying face as I choked the life out of her with my bare hoofs. Anyway the reason why I am here and not in the tartarus is because I put a fail safe on my horn before the royal sisters locked me away along with the crystal empire. Basically the spell works if my body is destroyed and if my horn is still in tact my soul is tied to it until someone with the same level of magic can revive me. The only problem is that the only pony I know that would be willing to do that and might even pull off is princess twilight. *sigh* I am never going to get use to that saying. Anyway she would most likely bring me back to try give me a chance at redemption through 'the power off friendship' and all that bullshit. I would rather go to Tartarus then let her of all people to revive me. At least that way I can keep my pride and dignity. I will admit being a ghost has draw backs, since nobody can see or touch me in this form. I miss tormenting innocent souls. At least I can go so far as the crystal empire and read old newspaper so I am kept on on all current events. I am still a little surprised that annoying purple unicorn 'twilight sparkle' reached the level of alicorn. Well she is the prised pupil to one of one of my greatest emeies and managed to get past all my traps and tricks to where I kept the crystal heart. She will be a worthy foe to fight once I am back to my old self. I've been stuck as a ghost for a few years now. I haven't seen a single pony walk even close to where my horn is and you would think that celestia would not underestimate even in death. But then again nobody suspects that someone can come back form death. It's not like coming out of prison. Haha that reminds me that before my horn brought me back to this world. I did actually go to the Tartarus for few minutes I remember it vividly. *years ago in the Tartarus* Hades himself was looking a list of all my horrible deads from my past. "Hmm it's not often we get ponies that actually accomplish as many evil deads as you. Well beside myself anyway if you follow the demon behind you he will send you to your person hell" I had a evil grin on my face "I don't think that will be necessary" Hades looked at me with a deadpan face "If you are going to make run for it or use your magic it's not going to work. You can't out run death." After he said that the fail safe spell finally kicked in and black energy fell form the sky and took a hold of my body and started to drag me up "Actually I can. A little tip to know about king sombra, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME ! Also go tell death for me to go buck herself" The black energy pulled me up faster than light and I woke up in the winter wasteland next to my old horn. *present day* Oh the look on hades face before I came was the most precious thing I ever saw. I only wish I could have seen death's face when hades told her my message to her. Anyway I think I'm going to rest for while it's the only thing I can do to pass the time when I'm not reading newspapers. I may not be able to touch ponies but I can still lift small and light items. Anyway time for rest. I then try to get comfortable in the snow then something completely unexpected happened. I heard the sound of pony stepping in snow. I turn around to see a pony completely covering in winter clothing covered from head to hoof there nothing showing to determine who this was but from the figure of the clothing it was a unicorn. I hopefully it is at least decent with magic. They mysterious pony takes out a shovel and starts to dig threw the snow and after about a hour of digging she finds it. I'm surprised she even knew it was around this area I didn't exactly leave a map to find my horn. she then picked up my horn and put in a leather bag it was carrying and walked off to celestia knows where so I decided to follow the pony. What is weird is that I could have sworn that she could see me few times when ever I got close to it's face. But that would take some serious magic to pull something like that off. After flying near by the pony (being a ghost has its perks) as it went on for miles into nowhere until the pony walked up to cave opening. The pony walked deep into the cave avoiding all these traps all around the cave until we came across a big cabin at the end of the cave. The cabin was 2 stories high and was entirely made of wood and was built into the cave and had functioning electricity with some rather odd decorations. Like there was the strange unrecognize able language written all over outside the cabin on the stone walls. As she walked closer she was actually holding the door open and letting me in before she closed. Inside the room was living room with a comfy looking leather couch, a small table infront of the couch, a warm fire place pointing in the same direction the couch was, right above the fire place attached to the wall was one of those new electronic things they made while I was gone, that they use to pass the time. I think they call it a TV. Behind the couch was a door that lead to the kitchen it had a table in the middle of the kitchen,it also has, a fridge, cabinets, a oven, a microwave I think it's called, and drawers. In the corner of the living room were stairs that lead upstairs to hall way that had a bathroom, her room, a closet, and a guest room. Anyway after she closed the door behind me as soon as I came in the house, That confirmed this pony can see me so it must be specially talented in magic. Finnally after years of waiting I am finally going to make my return. After I get my body back I will kill this mystery pony I will see if the pony has any good wine. What ? Don't judge me. I haven't had anything to eat in over a thousand years. Anyway I follow the pony to a back room with a door that has over 20 locks on it. Overkill much ? After she got all the locks off we entered the room to show it being lit by single light bulb hangings from the ceiling, a small table with jars of strange glowing liquids and small bowl with some strange writing on it even I have never seen before. The next sight is what shocked me the most. In the middle of the floor I saw a circle with tons of symbols I have never seen writen in pony blood. And right in the center of the circle was a pony skeleton but not any random skeleton, it was my skeleton. This pony was using blood Magic, That is the oldest and one of the darkest magic in existence that has long since been forgotten. Only few ponies like myself knew of existence, the royal sisters and star swirl the bearded were also aware of its existence, but none of us never knew enough to preform any form this magic, not like starswirl or the sister would test any of it. Anyway this pony is somehow a master of the most lost forgoten magic in equestria and is about to bring me back to life. I don't know if I should be cautious or impressed. I'll go with both. The pony then finally took it's hood down from it big coat and it was revealed to be a mare. She had long straight dark red main and light grey coat similar to my own and had soothing but heavy accented voice he could not distinguish. But she did look rather fetching. Maybe keeping her alive a little longer is in order it has been a long time I've had the pleasure to make someone my bitch. (It's sounds Russian but since the show doesn't have any place with a accent like that yet I just thought I would tell you what it sounds like) She then puts some of the liquids from the jars in the bowl and stired it while saying a unknown language. After she finished stirring and speaking she pulled out my horn from the bag and dipped it in the bowl completely covering it in the strange liquid. She then used her magic to put it in the center of the circle along with my skelaton. She then started speaking the strange language again and the next thing I knew my I was in the center of the standing and can't move. Then I felt the most painful experience I have ever felt even more than when I blown up by the crystal heart. I felt my bones going back I together in their proper position and transforming a bit and as well as my organs, my mucsles, my flesh, my skin and then my fur. I even felt my clothes appear on my body. It was painful but it was worth it as I stood up. I then spoke in a old royal voice to show my gratitude. "Finally after over a thousand years of imprisonment and escaping death the lengendary tyrant king sombra rises again !" as I catch my breath and and stretch a bit I then noticed my voice sounded different even in my own head it didn't sound the same. It sounded.....feminine? I looked back at the unicorn to see she has a small evil grin on her face "what is with smile miss ?" "it's violet blood" "We'll miss blood mind explaining why my voice has changed" She pulled out a hand mirror from her bag and put it into my face. "See for yourself" I then looked into the mirror and at first I thought it was a trick. I even checked the mirror for any illusions but it was clean. I have become a mare. She replied "You look good for a mare" I then screamed to the top of my lungs. My scream shook the entire cave and the cabin. After that I pinned violet blood to the wall in a blind rage. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS YOU CELESTIA DAMN BITCH !" Her face was unchanged and giggling a bit. "Blood magic is not exactly a easy thing to predict in side effects, must have been the mare blood I used in the circle. A well at least I brought back and I can do this" Before I could react that bitch slipped a strange grey metal collar with the strange language writen on it around my neck. It glowed for a few seconds and I then fell a small prick on the back of my neck and then its glowed brighter and then I could not move anything from the neck down. It's like my body became a statue. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS !" She moved away from me away from me and pulled out a sliver horn ring and put in on her horn all the way down. She actived it and then I could move again. She then spoke in a stern voice similar to a drill Sargent. "Alright enough bullshit sombra I'm going to get straight to the point. You are my prisoner you are going to stay here until I see fit. you will only refer to me as master or mistress and you will do anything I ask. If you refuse you will stay down here longer and will be given other punishments if sitting room is not enough. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR YOU BITCH !" "What do you take me for I am the lengendary king sombra and I will not be reduced to a slave by you! I BUCKING INVENTED SLAVERY ! And who are you calling bitch !" (Well technically he is the only character to use slavery in the show so unless someone can prove me other wise he didn't invent slavery in the mlp universe be my guest but until then I'm going with that) "Looked like we have some insubordination I guess its time for some punishment" she actives the ring on her horn and I couldn't move again and then she pressed a secret button on the wall and then a part of the wall flips around to show tons of torture equipment hanged on it She giggled "I'm going to make you my bitch !" Right now while she laughed Evily this was the first time in a very long time I ever felt fear. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *2 weeks later* I spend everyday using my remaining strength from violet's 'punishments' to bang on the locked door in attempts to escape. It never works but it's all I can do at this point. I will not let this whore bring me down to the level of a slave. The collar she has around my neck can somehow suspend my magic and even some of my natural strength. Any time I try to even think of taking off the collar, it freezes me in place for a hour. I kept punching and bucking the door and then I was frozen again. Violet replied "Will you stop it Umbra I'm trying to watch my shows. Do you want me to get the tazer whip." After she released me I then growled at her and went to the back left corner of the room where I normally sleep. What ? don't look at me like that. Oh your wondering about the name. Well after a while she was at least nice enough to answer my questions. One of them was if I'm stuck like this, in which I am. Well after that, apparently since that sombra doesn't exactly fit my new form so she thought I should change it. If I'm going to be stuck as a mare I should pick the name. One day I will kill that bitch. I then go to sleep ---violet POV--- Uh finally she's asleep now back to watching supernatural. Huh oh I was wondering when you guys could hear me. I'm sure your curious on who I am and my backstory and stuff but that is for another time. I'll be sure to answer a few things though. As for how I'm watching supernatural. Blood magic can go long ways I'll leave it at that. As for why I'm keeping umbra here is cause for few reasons. 1st just a little anger relief. 2nd I want a roommate, when you spend hundreds of years living alone in a cabin it gets kinda lonely and boaring. 3rd because I can, he is not the only evil pony in equestria. Now back to supernatural I'm in season 6 right now. I can't wait for them to kill dick. *2 more weeks later* ---umbra POV--- I was laying down on the floor counting the days. Then violet walks in as usual for my punishments. I said. "Oh it's you, alright I'll get in the center I don't care anymore." What she said caught me off guard "there is no need for that umbra." I had a questioning look on my face and she then said. "I am just going to ask to reconsider my offer my offer I said a month ago-" I interrupted her in mid sentence "Listen here you whore, I am not going to brought down to a slave by some bitch like you!" She then put hoof on my mouth "let me finish. I was going to say that I am going to make some alterations to the deal" I then raised a eyebrow and moved her hoof from my mouth "you have my attention." She smiled a bit "alright now I know you have a reputation as a pony that have a lot of fun torturing innocent ponies am I correct?" "Your information is accurate." "Well if you agree to be my 'slave' and do what I ask, I will allow you to be my roommate so you can sleep in the guest room, and I will lure ponies here for you to torture for your amusement." I liked the sound of that and even smiled a bit but then i thought and said. "Well that offer does sound pleasant, however in my time of being alive has taught me that any deal that sounds too good to be true always has a catch so what is it." She was a little impressed with my knowledge ."You are right I only have 2 conditions. 1st is that when ever you do your torturing I get to watch." That caught me really off guard and I raised an eyebrow "what did you think, I only keep that tortrue equipment just for blood magic ?" I replied "I honestly thought you did" She laughed "oh your a riot umbra but you have a lot to learn about me" I was a little impressed that this one enjoys torturing ponies. Maybe she won't be a total pain to live with. "what is the second condition" She still had her smile she then used her mag to show her lifting a French maid costume "when you do chores around the house you always have to wear this" Or maybe I spoke too soon. I then looked looked at her with a deadpan face. "You cannot be serious." She replied "do I look like I'm joking" I then facehooved and groaned. She then replied "do we have deal ?" I then swallowed all my pride as I growled. "Fine !" She smiled "great now I'll go put this in your room while you find your way around the house I hope you will enjoy your stay." She left as I explored the house. After 20 minutes of learning my surroundings I then went up to my room. As I walked in it seemed kinda cozy. The whole room was just grey from the floor to the ceiling. Even the bed was grey. Well it was better than nothing I saw in the left corner of the room near the door there was a little table with my maid costume on it. Uh man tomorrow will be a pain but at least I have a place to call home until I get out of this place. right next to my bed was a little nightstand with a clock on it. I then took of my royal armor, clothes and my crown and put it all on the floor next to my bed. I then looked at the clock and it was almost midnight and I was a little tired and decided to get in my bed. That mare is crazy but at least we have a few things in common, hopefully she won't be too unbearable. I then go to sleep unaware that the door was cracked and she was watching. She giggled a bit "she is so cute when she's angry I have a feeling this will end great" She then closed the door behind her and umbra was sleeping peacefully for the first time in over a thousand years. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wake up in my bed in my bed and hair is a mess. I'm not entirely use to my new form one example is my hair is way longer. I then got up and walked to the bathroom. First I brushed my teeth and my fangs. At least my new form let me keep those. I then went into the shower and turned on the hot and enjoyed the warm feeling of hot water going down my mane and coat. I haven't had a warm shower in forever, and I needed one since I was stuck in that torture room for about a month. Then bathroom door opened without me noticing. "Enjoying the hot water are we ?" I then blushed and pulled the shower curtains from her seeing me. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING !" She then smiled "it's my house I can do what I want in it. what's the matter you shy or something. You know I never quite understood why people get shy when ever they get in the shower and someone is in the room most of pony are naked all the time" She did make a valid point so I let go of the shower curtains "ok you have point there" I then continued washing my coat and main. I then spoke in a stern voice "where do you keep the shampoo ?" She then used her magic to pass it too me while she was brushing her teeth. I then said in the same tone of voice. "So how long do you plan to keep me here." I then put the shampoo on my coat while said in sweet voice but serious tone. "Until I can trust you enough to let you go on your own" Hahahaha like that is ever going to happen as soon as I get the chance I'm leaving this place and never come back. "Or until I don't need you anymore and I can kill you" The room went silent. I then finished washing my coat and I turned off the water. "What don't have anything to say." I didn't say anything as I got the towel from the rack and started drying my coat and mane. "What cat got your tongue. Haha Oh before I forget you got some chores to do so go get ready before I put you in the torture room again" She then leaves in a chipper mood like what she said was totally normal. I got her props for knowing how to leave a room. Anyway after I finished drying off I went back to my room with a frown the whole way there. "This is going to be a long day" ---Violet POV--- I wait patiently while umbra gets changed. How long does it take to put on a maid costume. Oh great I've spent so much time with her I now sound like a colt. I then hear her coming down stairs. I then see her wearing that sexy costume and I can tell she hates it. If this was a anime I would be having a nose bleed right now. Umbra then spoke "do I seriously have to wear this it's so demeaning on so many levels" I then spoke "would you rather I torture you." She just growled but I could tell it was a no. "Great, ok for your first chore is to dust the living room. Start with the TV my shows will be on soon. Then once your done talk to me so I can tell you what to do next understood ?" She groaned as she started dusting "And lighten up will you it could be worse" Umbra's mood did not change as she cleaned. She still looks cute though. *4 hours of chores later* Wow she did surprisingly good for a beginner. The house is surprisingly spotless. Umbra didn't even break a sweat. Well then again in her previous form 'he' managed to bring down a single empire single handedly I then went up to her. She said "ok what's next" I replied "nothing, you've done everything in the house so I guess you deserve a break." Umbra sighed in relief "uh finally does that mean I can finally take this off." I replied in a playful fake sad tone "aww do you have to, it looks very sexy on you." She blushed very red and then speed walked up stairs to go to her room. I giggled a bit and sat on the couch as she sat down on the couch. After a few minutes she came back down to see I had some food on the table in front of me while I was sitting on the couch. ---Umbra POV--- I looked at her with a eyebrow raised. What was she trying to pull after she just put me through all that embarrassment she expects me to take her pity kindness. Then stomach growled as I stared at the food. Curse you hunger. I then swallowed my pride again and joined her on the couch. She replied "go ahead you earned it. I'm still amazed that you didn't die of starvation in room." I then stuffed my face in pizza and it was delicious. I kept eating until my plate was clean which took about 5 seconds. I then replied "A little tip you should about me. Never Underestimate Me !" She giggled as I sat back with my full stomach. She replied "well since we got sometime let's watch some TV" She picked up the remote and she turned on the TV to a show called supernatural. She then rapped her her hoof around me neck. She then replied "trust me your going to like this show and maybe one day you will like me" I rolled my eyes. Like that is ever going to happen. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Violet then finally explains all about humans and supernatural so I can understand what I'm watching "ok ok ok I get it can we please just watch the show now." She then smiled "I thought you would never ask." She grabbed the remote and started episode 1 season 1. I seriously doubt she expects me to like this show. *several hours later* Then as dean, Sam and his dad were driving down the road a a 18 wheeler comes out of nowhere and smashed the car. "HOLY SHIT" It then says to be continued "what No it can't end like that !" Violet then looks at me with a smug smile and I blushed a bit. "Ok Ok Ok you were right it's a awesome show and it was worth the boring lecture to watch it are you happy now !" She still had the smile. "Very. Oh I almost forgot wait here." I sat then for 10 minutes until she came back. "Ok umbra follow me." I followed her to the back room where she kept me for a month and opened the door to see a blue earth crystal mare chained to the floor with a gag over her mouth and is struggling for her life. She took one look at me and look confused. I then facehoofed. "Yes it's me King sombra, it's a long story and frankly I don't care to tell you since you won't live long enough to hear the whole story." She then went back to freaking the buck out trying to escape but to no avail. Violet then shut the door behind us as we walked in. I then thought 'This is going to be fun." *5 hours later* (Relax listen I'm very busy with 2 stories at once and those who were excited for a gore fest right now I apologize your going to have a wait a little longer I'll put one in once the story is done and I have more time and I'm a little more experienced at writing I hope you can understand ok back to the story) Wow I never knew Violet was experienced at torturing as I. Honestly I'm impressed how she figured out how to keep her alive after we chopped her head off. Hehe but that doesn't mean I didn't do my fare share of impressing her like when I- "uh umbra I think it's time we take a shower" I then look at myself to see that me and Violet were entirely covered in blood from head to hoof. "Yea that would be wise, the mare is dead anyway." Me and Violet then went up stairs I jumped shower first. While I was washing my mane. Violet jumped in the shower while I was still in it. "Oh come on Violet. seriously ?!" She just smiled "seriously." I just rolled my eyes. "Uh, well since your behind me can you get my back." She then took the shampoo with her magic and jumped right in. She then starts slow on my back as I get my mane. As much as I hate to admit it I enjoyed the way she was rubbing. Like way she-. 'WHAT THE BUCK AM I THINKING !' I then hit the side of my head. Violet was curious why I did that but ignored it and went back running in the shampoo. After the shower we both got out and got dried with one of those new, Uh what are they called again. Oh hairdryer. We used the hairdryer to dry our mane and coats. After that we went to bed. I'm going to have a hard time sleeping I just know it. ---Violet POV--- I am in bed trying to sleep imagining me and and sombra making out. But for some reason I feel sad about that. I don't know what's wrong I'm just doing what I always do I get some cute pony in my house, then I get them in bed, and then in the morning I dispose of there body. Oh you guys don't know. Hmm well I guess I can tell a little about myself. Well you see I've got a bit of a curse on me that prevents me to have love partner. After I have sex with someone it then sends a magical spell into there bodies straight into there blood stream until it reaches there heart and it cause it to stop beating. It doesn't bother me anymore. So then why is it bothering me this time so much when I think about having sex with sombra. Uh maybe sleep will help me. After a few minutes i finally get to sleep. I start to get flash backs. To how this curse came to be. *750 years ago* I'm 20 years old and I'm leaving my house to go to the forest to relax. I like to go there to calm my nerves after a long day of working at the library. I live in a small village, we don't really have name for it since we're pretty far from any other civilisation. I am pretty much friends with everyone in the village, But sometimes I just need to get away from it all and just breath in nature. I was sitting in my usual clearing in the woods until i noticed something different. There was a lighting storm here last week and it didn't do any real damage to the village but forest took a beating. I noticed that one of the tree's that had been struck by lightning had book laying right on top of its stump. I went to the book. I was a big black shiny book with a dripping red flower drawing on the cover and no title. I decided to take the book with me back to my house. After I was done eating dinner I decided to read the book. I sat for hours reading the book, It was some form of journal on the studies of something called blood magic. It was very graphic but for some reason everytime I try to look away I have a urge to keep reading it. After 5 hours of reading I finally get to the end. It was just some weird statement I had a hard time trying to read. I then said the following words the best I could. "won esruc ym evah uoy" Then suddenly the book started shaking and then it started floating. The book then started spinning incredibly fast and then made a weird high pitch sound that made me woozy and made my black out. When I woke up it was morning while I was still on the floor. After I got up a then smelled something. It was smoke. I then ran outside to see a third of the village is on fire while the rest was completely destroyed. All over covering the entire ground was giant pools of blood, organs, and bones scattered everywhere. I was in utter shock at what I witnessed. I can still remember the horrified remains of my friends and neighbors. It was my fault. It Was My Fault. IT WAS MY FAULT!!! present day I woke up sitting up and checking my surroundings. I was in my bed in the dark with everything the same as it was. I then layed down back in bed trying not to cry. "I'm sorry"
