King Sombra has returned, and evoked a little known Clause in equestrian law – He is legally allowed to anally rape the element of kindness. That's right – King sombra is going to rape Fluttershy
Fluttershy was crying too hard to speak properly. Her heart literally broken in half. “Look, Fluttershy, I'm sure it will be alright.” Anon found it hard to believe his own words, let alone convince the sobbing pony of their sincerity. Fluttershy only sobbed harder. You barely managed to do anything to console her. “I just... Don't understand why I have to do this...” she chokes through her sobs, looking up at you with her big, adorable eyes. Fluttershy cries for several minutes, and the appointed meeting time is very soon. Anon tries desperately to come up with anything to console her, but to no avail. With no more time to waste, He makes up his mind. “Flutters... We have to go. Now.” Fluttershy began to shake with fear, but allowed herself to be picked up and carried towards the Everfree forest in Anon's arms.
Anon set's Fluttershy down with her friends, at the mouth of the everfree forest. Her legs shake uncontrolleably, and she can do little more than whimper. Right on time, Princess Celestia arrives in a carriage. No longer her radient self, she seems solemn and defeated. Next to her, with a look of savage glee on his face, is King Sombra. Anon feels his blood boil at the sight of the horrible unicorn.
Wordlessly, Sombra and Celestia Exit the carriage, and walk towards Fluttershy. All she can do, is shrink away from Sombra. “Fluttershy, You have to go with him. I'm sorry.” Muttered Celestia in a firm, yet dismayed tone. Sombra forcibly grabs Fluttershy, whispering something in her ear. Whatever it was, her eyes widen with pure fear as he half drags her into the darkness of the everfree forest.
The sun has long since set. Anon looks between the ponies, and the border of the everfree forest. “If I time this right, I can sneak in there and get help Fluttershy...” Anon also remembered the ancient clause, forbidding intervention. But at least he could be there, so she didn't have to be alone. Slowly, he edged towards the overgrowth of the forest, and with a quick movement – entered the undergrowth with a running dive. His efforts were rewarded with a face full of mud and various insects. With no time to waste, he began clawing his way through the undergrowth, searching for Fluttershy and Sombra.
It doesn't take Anon long to hear something out of the ordinary atop the forest noise. Almost like laughter.
Anon's blood boiled with the revelation – Sombra was going full rape mode. Anon crashed through the bushes and trees, heading towards the noise. He only slowed when he saw a reddish light in the distance. Crouching down, he crawled through the undergrowth until he was safely concealed in the bushes at the side of a clearing. What he saw horrified and aroused him at the same time.
Sombra has setup some sort of weird apparatus in the clearing. Clearly, he was more prepared for this than anyone had thought. Fluttershy was strapped into the heart of the beast, completely immobilised. Sombra trots up to Fluttershy, lapping up the fear and horror in her eyes. “Are you comfortable, my dear? I hope not.” And with that, Sombra leaned in and licked Fluttershy's snout. A long, Hungry lick. It dawns on you why he must have chosen Fluttershy – Sombra was dominatrix supreme, and Fluttershy's timidness made her the perfect target. As you glare at him from the pushes, he stops dead cold and perks his ears.
Sombra turns around, his horny eyes pinpointed directly on Anon's hiding spot. How did he know? Something about his eyes leave's anon completely frozen in fear. A small smirk plays on the corner of Sombra's mouth, as he drags Anon out from his hiding spot by his hair. Anon tries to struggle away, but is brought to Sombra's hooves in a bowing position. With a single, swift movement, Sombra strikes, knocking anon out cold.
P.O.V. Change – Fluttershy
I try to struggle against the restraints, But I'm just not strong enough to break free! Oh no, Anon is here! No anon, Don't come any closer! Oh no, Sombra knows! NO NO NO! Please, Don't! He's got anon! Ah! Anon is out cold! He's just thrown him to the side. But I think Anon will be alright. Thank goodness.... But now Sombra is turning his attention back to me! *gulp*
P.O.V. Change – Third person
Sombra advances on Fluttershy once again, pressing up against her, looking her straight in the eyes. He leans in, Licks her again, and then pulls a gag from his magic. With a glint in his eye, he pulls fluttershys head forward, firmly gagging her. He then strikes her, several times. Tears well up in her eyes.
Satisfied, Sombra backs off ever so slightly. He looks for something that could be used to further enrich the situation, and spots Anon's unconscious body off to the side of the clearing. With a deft flick of his horn, he levitates Anon Into Fluttershy's view. Her eyes widen at the sight of her friend, dangling lifelessly within Sombra's magic.
With another deft flick of the horn, he tears Anon's clothes from him, before restraining him above the ground, bound to a tree. Sombra looked back to Fluttershy, seeing the pain, fear, and worry overflowing in her eyes. It's time to get down to buisness. He lifts the cape from his back, and removes the armour and crown from his head.
His Stallionhood makes its presence known.
Upon realizing the new development, Fluttershy once again begins to struggle. But to no avail – the more she struggles, the more her bonds begin to rub her skin raw. Sombra descends on fluttershy like a raincloud. Haunches squatted over her, be begins to pump. Fluttershy can only shudder, tears rolling down her cheeks as she tries her best to resist. Sombra continues to pump tirelessly, determined to make the very most of his opportuinity. Fluttershy wasn't getting wet, however. So Sombra decided to take it upon himself.
Sombra begins to stroke Fluttershy's marehood with a deceptive gentleness. Confused, Fluttershy begins to relax, her body exhausted by the stress of the situation. Taking his chance, Sombra spits into her marehood. The sudden shock and revolt causes Fluttershy to clench up again – This only helps the saliva spread around and lubricate her. Satisfied, Sombra returns to his position and once again slides his tool into Fluttershy – Savagely pumping her once more.
Fluttershy begins to cry again, but her sobs are caught in her gag. Sombra smiles savagely as he continues pumping. His chest heaving, he pulls out just at the last moment. There was no need to rush, he had all night, and another plaything waiting for a turn.
Fluttershy goes limp, broken and exhausted. Sombra smiles – Victory is his. And to the victor go the spoils.
“Comfortable, my dear?”
Before Fluttershy can so much as whimper, Sombra lunges down and locks lips with her. Fluttershy tries to resist, but no longer has the energy. Sombra slides his tongue into her mouth, searching it thoroughly. Fluttershy no longer has a choice – She cannot resist, she can only submit. As sombra pulls away, he lowers himself onto Fluttershy to take a short rest.
Having regained much of his stamina, Sombra decides to have a little more fun with Fluttershy/ But hes going to shake it up. He turns one of the cranks on his machine, elevating the board Fluttershy is strapped to. He then flips the board upside down, and returns it to his original position. He levitates a brace towards Fluttershy, locking it in and forcing her mouth open. Sombra lies down on his back, and slides hes legs underneath the board. Just under Fluttershy's head. With a bit of maneuvering with his hooves, he manages to get his tool into Fluttershy's mouth Taking a moment to appreciate the warmth and wetness her Marehood failed to provide, Sombra began to pump, going deep into her throat.
Fluttershy's face is buried in Sombra's groin. She couldn't see anything but his thick, dark coat. She could only smell Sombra. She was completely Smothered. Tears rolled down her cheeks, as she submitted to her fate.
Would Sombra let her return to her friends? Would She ever see them again? What about angel? What about all the other critters that depended on her?
All she could muster was sadness and exhaustion.
Sombra was getting close. Despite his composure, he couldn't stifle his low grunts and moans. Deciding this would be a good way to spend his first load, he followed through. With a long moan, he shot up into Fluttershy's throat, pleased by her gagging.
As the gagging grew stronger, he decided to pull away and watch. As he had expected, Fluttershy threw up, most of it flying back into her face with flecks of dirt and mud.
Sombra decided to let her sit awhile – He may have blown, but he was far from finished. Looking up, he spotted the still unconscious body of anon, who had been forced to ensure this took place by Celestia.
It would be rude to leave him out of the fun he had caused, wouldn't it? Sombra elevated the board, revealing an unconscious Fluttershy. She must have fainted due to stress. Sombra had outdone himself. He deserved a reward. He decided to keep Fluttershy, once he was done here. Sombra pulled Anon down from his suspension, an idea fresh in his mind. He's already juts about broken, but she holds onto the last of her strength for the sake of her friend here. Have that friend betray her, and she's his. Sombra pinned anon to the ground, tapping his face several times, before finally rousing him with spit. In this daze, Sombra made eye contact, cutting deep into Anon's mind. With anon as his new puppet, Sombra was ready for round 2.
Sombra had Anon himself fetch Fluttershy and strap her in. “Slap her, Wake her by any means necessary.” Anon did as he was told. He didn't have much choice. He was aware of what he was doing, but powerless to control his own body. He slapped Fluttershy several times, before spitting in her face. Eventually, her eyes slowly opened, and widened at the sight of her friend towering over her, with lust in his eyes.
“Go.”
Anon plunged into Fluttershy, ravaging her. The apparatus shook with the force, and Fluttershy, shocked and brutalized, began to sob once again. Sombra smiled as his plan came together, and began to circle around to Fluttershy's head. Sombra stands, staring down ad Fluttershy. The fear and pain in her eyes is unsurmountable. He climbs onto the board, and slides into her mouth. He doesn't even need to use a brace this time, she wouldn't dare bite. The human continues to work. The best part is, he's completely aware of what he's doing to her. Sombra couldn't let him go and tell anyone, though. Something had to be done...
P.O.V. Change – A none too happy Fluttershy
I slowly came to, after fainting from the terrible smell of vomit. I saw anon towering over me. Did he get free? Is Sombra gone? Is it over? Wait.... He doesn't look right....
“Go.”
AH! Anon, what are you doing? Please, Stop! Why would you do this to me? I thought you were my friend! You said it was going to be alright! You said I could trust you.... It hurts... stop... Sombra is towering over me... I just can't care anymore... Theres nothing left. My friends betrayed me, sent me out here with him. One even followed to join in... I don't care what happens anymore. P.O.V. Change – Anon's breaking mind
This voice in my head. I can't shake it My body is moving on its own Whats he done to me?
Oh god, Fluttershy looks terrible... He'll kill her if he keeps up like this. Wait.... What am I doing? No, I can't! What are you making me do? No, I don't want to hit her! I'm so sorry... Fluttershy... This is my fault...
“Go.”
Urgh! This is disgusting I can't take it The pain and fear in her eyes, I can't stand it SOMBRA, JUST KILL ME!
P.O.V. Change – Third Person
As Anon finished on Fluttershy's stomach, Sombra released his hold on Anon's mind. It all too much to bear, Anon could only pass out under all the stress. Sombra stopped, and pulled out. He looked into her eyes. She was broken, Now was his chance. He could claim ownership, right now.
P.O.V. Change – Fluttershy
What is Sombra doing? He's cleaning me up? Why? Anon is running away... Did Sombra chase him off? That's more than anyone else did... They all left me to him... But he cares more than they do... Angel Didn't try to help me. Nopony did. They wanted me gone. I have to go with Sombra.
P.O.V. Change – Third Person
Sombra finished cleaning Fluttershy off, and a quick look in her eyes confirmed that his plan had worked. In her broken state, Fluttershy had latched onto him. Doubtless, she wouldn't attempt to resist if he were to take her now.
But that Human had regained consciousness, and escaped before he could throw him to the Timberwolves. Hastily, Sombra unstrapped Fluttershy, who flopped into his arms, head resting against his chest. Gathering his attire, Sombra prepared to leave. The sound of hooves smashing through the undergrowth suddenly filled his ears. “I don't think so.” With a deft movement, Sombra set the clearing alight, creating a wall of flame between him and his persuers. He had put far too much effort into this – Nobody would stop him now. Sombra trotted off into the darkness, His new acquisition sprawled over his back, out cold.
Sombra woke. He wasted no time, neglecting to dress himself, and eating as quickly as possible. He had considered skipping breakfast, but he would need top performance for the task ahead. Opening the slot on the cell door, he could faintly make out Fluttershy huddled in a corner. Showtime. Sombra opened the door, and shut It quickly behind him. There would be no escape attempts, no runaways. Sombra closed in on Fluttershy, a savage grin spreading further and further across his muzzle the closer he got to her. Fluttershy could do nothing but shrink back in fear. With a single, deft movement, Sombra had her in his masterful grip. He lifted Fluttershy up to eye level, and began kissing her hungrily again He savored her warm, sweet saliva as his tongue wandered around her mouth Fluttershy began to relax slightly, this would be easier than he thought.
Easily overpowering Fluttershy, Sombra lifted her to the table, and secured her restraints She struggled, but to no avail. She still had a glimmer of hope left – That had to be dealt with. Sombra scanned the room. What would he use first? Whips, Chains, So many possibilities.
After contemplating, Sombra decided. There was no rush. He would be able to put her through a wide variety of torture. Scanning the walls, he picked out a decently sized paddle. Flipping Fluttershy over ,and turning down the lights, Sombra began the paddling. Each connection made a satisfying SLAP, and provoked a cry from the mare. As Sombra paddled more and more, fluttershy's cries got louder, and her rump became redder After a fair few strikes, Sombra stood back to admire his work. Her blank was most certainly tender by now, but there was more he could do. Putting the paddle back onto the wall, Sombra looked for his next toy. His eyes landed on a cat 'o' nine tails, and he took it in his hooves. Fluttershy, oblivious to what was heading her way, could only whimper and sob.
Holding the Cat'o'nine tails firmly, Sombra continued the Flagellation. Fluttershy cried out as the whips made contact, further adding to the pain in her rump.
Sombra ignored her cries, and continued whipping. Harder and harder, faster and faster. After several minutes of brutal flogging, Fluttershy had taken all she could. She broke down once more, crying and begging for reprieve. Sombra was not about to comply.
Tears streaming down her face, Fluttershy could only struggle in her restraints. Sombra continued to whip Fluttershy mercilessly, until her mane was wet with tears. Sombra decided it was time for some vocal encouragement.
Loud vocal encouragement.
“WHO IS YOUR MASTER?” “y...you..a...are...” Sombra whipped again, with considerable force. “I CANT HEAR YOU. WHO DO YOU BELONG TO?” “y...you” Another strike. Fluttershy cried out once more. “I AM ONLY GOING TO ASK ONCE MORE. WHO DO YOU BELONG TO.” “YOU!” Sombra stopped immediately. He walked around to Fluttershy's head “Excellent Answer.” He leaned down and kissed Fluttershy hungrily once again. Once he was finished, he extinguished the lights and left the room, leaving Fluttershy in the dark.
Several hours later, Sombra returned. Fluttershy was still lying there, in her restraints. Deciding to test how tender her rump was, Sombra poked her with his horn. A yelp from the mare assured him it was still raw and tender. Perfect. Sombra climbed atop the table, and positioned himself over Fluttershy. His stallionhood quickly rose to attention, as he ground up and down Fluttershy's rump, causing her to cringe in pain. When he was ready, he slowly began to slide into Fluttershy's hind quarters. This evoked an ever so slight moan from the mare.
With the same vigor, stamina, and skill he had shown in the everfree forest, Sombra began to pump. Fluttershy moaned in both pleasure and pain as he thrust into her raw rump, time and time again. His masterful hips moved in a well defined rhythm, as he leaned forward and grabbed her ear in his teeth. Pulling her head back, no holds barred, Sombra began to speed up, giving Fluttershy a ravaging she wouldn't soon forget.
With Fluttershy at his mercy, Sombra decided to bring another part of her personality crumbling down.
“Where are your friends now?” “They gave you to me. They didn't want you.” “You were nothing but an object to them.” “I am all you have. And yet you still recoil from me?” “You are a terrible pony. Nopony wants you.” “You're lucky you have a master like me, to pull you out of trouble.”
Sombra continued to thrust, until eventually he couldn't hold on any longer. He shot right up into Fluttershy, and, after finally pulling out, she fell limp. Exhausted once more. Sombra smirked. His plan was flawless. He had even slipped birth control into Fluttershy's soup the night before. Sombra trotted around to Fluttershy's head, and stared down at her. Straight into her eyes. She was unable to look away. Sombra lunged down and began to kiss, once again. This was by no means a loving kiss – It was a display of ownership.
There would be plenty of time to show her love once her mind had been fully remade.
P.O.V. Change – Fluttershy
It can't be true... All my friends abandoned me? They DID send me in there with him... Everyone knows Sombra is evil... But he can't be that evil... He's being so kind... Nopony has come to help me... Will Somepony come to help me...?
P.O.V. Change – Third Person
Sombra laid back, a satisfied smile upon his muzzle. Fluttershy would not be able to hold out against him for long. She had already allowed herself to be taken away so easily.
His eyes droopy, Sombra decided to take a well earned night's sleep. Soon, It would be time to start taking things faster.
Sombra Woke with the sun. At least, he thought he did. It was difficult to tell, so deep underground. Once again, he ate quickly. There was a lot of work to be done. Trotting towards Fluttershy's room, Sombra envisioned what he would use on her today...
Sombra decided on one of the magically powered vibrators he kept. He seldom needed to use them, but Fluttershy deserved a reward for her behavior. An act of mercy now could greatly incline her toward him.
Sombra took his time opening the door. Fluttershy was still restrained, anyway. As he entered and turned on the lights, she looked up at him. Closing the door behind him, he released her bonds, before calling for another bowl of soup.
This time, Lukewarm.
“You've been a good filly. You deserve a treat.”
Fluttershy lapped up the approval. She needed all the positive attention she could get. Taking her in his arms, Sombra held the bowl up to her while she ate. She was beginning to incline herself towards him, but he still needed to chip away at her personality. Once she had finished eating, Sombra grabbed her in an iron grip, and returned her to her restraints. Her struggles were near useless – She was in no condition to fight against the powerful stallion
Sombra took a look around, and found two decently sized vibrators amoung his wide array of toys. He decided to test just how resigned Fluttershy was to her fate. Levitating the two vibrators, Sombra slowly inserted both of them into Fluttershy's rump and marehood, before pouring magic into them. The Vibrators sprang to life, and Fluttershy moaned loudly.
Sombra then crouched on his haunches atop Fluttershy. He stroked his stallionhood a few times in order to arouse it, and slipped into Fluttershy's mouth. It wasn't long before he was pumping in a steady rhythm.
Sombra stopped when Fluttershy's breath became heavy. Pulling out both vibrators with magic, He pulled from her mouth as well.
Fluttershy was still extremely aroused, and struggled in her restraints. Struggling for something, anything, to finish her off.
King Sombra laid down, his member just inches away from her desparate marehood.
“Do you deserve it?”
Fluttershy could only stare. She didn't know the answer.
“Have you been a good girl?” “Y...yes..” “Good girls don't give one word answers.” “Yes... I have been a good girl...” “Yes sir?” “Yes sir...” “Stay it in full.”
Fluttershy hesitated.
“Say it in full, Or you won't be allowed to finish.”
Fluttershy gulped, closed her eyes, and whispered;
“Yes sir. I have been a good girl.”
Satisfied, Sombra plunged into Fluttershy. His masterful hips working magic. Fluttershy moaned, louder and louder, Until she reached Orgasm.
“What do you say?”
Fluttershy, still breathing heavily, looked at King Sombra once again.
“What do you say?” “Thank you.” “Thank you MASTER.” “Thank you master.” Sombra once again leaned in for a savage, hungry kiss, before climbing from the table.
He didn't finish, but he didn't mind. He had made good progress. This time, he allowed Fluttershy a dim light before leaving the room and locking the door.
P.O.V. Change – Fluttershy
How Many days have I been here? Or has it been months? Years? I don't see the sun down here. Is anypony coming to help me? They're taking a long time... Will they come to help me? Or is what he said true...? They've abandoned me? Maybe he's right. Maybe he's the only one I can trust... Maybe he is my Master...
P.O.V. Change – Third person
Sombra once again laid in bed, Contemplating his progress with Fluttershy.
More and more of her personality was coming crumbling down. She'd be his soon.
Sombra closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Guided by those thoughts...
The thoughts of not being alone anymore.
Sombra woke once more. He went through his basic morning routine, eating quickly, and heading for Fluttershy's cell This time however, he entered slowly and silently; It was time for a Psyche Evaluation. How far had he gotten with reshaping her identity? He knew how to find out.
He silently trotted down to where Fluttershy's head was resting, and woke her slowly. Staring down into her eyes, he noticed. The fear that had once overtaken her at the mere sight of him had all but faded. She had broken. And now, she was his to remould.
“Who Is your master?” “You are my master.” Good. The basics have been firmly established. “Who can you trust?” “Nobody. Except my master.” Good progress. “Why are you here?” “My friends gave me away. They abandoned me.” A smile playing across his face, Sombra deduced that he was closer than ever. Now that she was broken, he had to remould her.
Sombra paused to think; Just how should he do that?
Sombra decided on obedience training. It was tamer than what he had been doing before. He might even be able to let Fluttershy out of her cell, If she proves obedient enough.
Cautiously, Sombra released Fluttershy's restraints. Slowly, she sat up, rubbing her hooves where they had been rubbed raw. Slowly, she made her way off of the table, but collapsed when she tried to stand.
In a moment of impulse, Sombra rushed to her. Holding her from a painful collision on the stone brick floor.
She felt frail, and weak in his arms. She was far too weak to do anything like this today.
And it was all his fault.
Taking her back to his room, Sombra gently lay her down on the bed.
Flashing his horn, he commanded the shadowy clouds around the keep to bring soup.
Hot, this time. With warm bread.
He watched as she ate and drank, before falling asleep right where she lay. She was like a blank slate, now. He would be able to mold her into a new pony after a nights rest.
P.O.V. Change – Fluttershy
Was that a dream? Sombra taking me out of here, Giving me food, Helping me recover... I'm still here in the cell, though. Did that ever happen? I don't know what is real anymore. I'm still here. Nopony has come to save me. Is Sombra really my master?
P.O.V. Change – Third person
Sombra woke once again. He had returned Fluttershy to her cell once he was sure she would be alright. He couldn't risk such an act of kindness. Not just yet. Eating, Trotting to Fluttershy's cell, just like every other day. Opening the door, Sombra locked eyes with her immediately. She didn't seem to react at all. Her eyes were misty and blank. It was time to beat a new personality into this mare. “Hello, Fluttershy.” “Hello, Master.” “Who are you?”
Fluttershy was taken aback by the question. She tried her best to remember. Just who was she? The time before her imprisonment in this cell seemed like a dream. It wasn't real to her.
“I don't know, Master.” “Would you like me to tell you?”
Fluttershy perked up, just slightly.
“Yes! Yes please!” “Yes please MASTER.” “Yes please Master!” “Very well. You are mine.”
Fluttershy registered. That made sense. He was the only pony she knew, after all.
“Who is it that you trust?” “You, and only you, Master.”
Excellent. She hadn't regained even the slightest bit of her original identity.
“Who is it that you love?”
Fluttershy paused, and thought. King Sombra, Despite himself, found himself holding his breath.
“I love my Master.” “Who is your Master?” “King Sombra.”
Satisfied, sombra released the restraints on Fluttershy.
“When your master tells you do to something, What is it that you do?” “Whatever it is that master told me to do.”
Excellent. This was going very well.
“Where do you live? “Wherever master lives.”
Excellent. She was ready. Leading Fluttershy towards the door, Sombra paused. Just for a moment. “You don't need to call me master anymore.” “What May I call you?” “By my name. Sombra.”
Fluttershy and Sombra have lived peacefully in the mountains, Away from equestria. Fluttershy has all but forgotten her history as the element of kindness – she has accepted the new identity Sombra has given her.
But of course, seeing as Sombra exploited Equestrian politics Raped her, Kidnapped her, And turned her into a new mare, the peace was short lived. It wasn't long before Celestia, Realizing that the Elements of Harmony could not be used without Fluttershy, began a search for the runaways. Despite what Sombra had lead Fluttershy to believe, her friends were still frantically searching for her.
And they were closing in.
Sombra woke. Several months had passed, and they had used just about every tool or item in the house as a fetish tool. It may just be time to move on. Sombra looked over to Fluttershy, Sound asleep next to him.
Her hair is messier. She hardly bothers grooming herself anymore, unless Sombra forces her to. Another one of the many new Characteristics Sombra had given her, over months of hard work. Sombra took a moment to think. He wasn't alone anymore, but something still troubled him. Life was too tame for his liking. Slipping out of bed, he trotted to the kitchen, fixing breakfast Quickly skinning a live bunny and dicing it into teeny tiny pieces with his magic. Always a great way to start the morning. Sombra's ears perked as he heard something out of the ordinary above. The mountains were normally very quiet. It almost sounded like marching. The sort of marching a line of slaves would partake in. That or soldiers. … … … They had been found. Damnit.
Quickly running into the bedroom, Sombra roused Fluttershy with a slap to the face, no time for subtlety.
“OW! What did you do that for?” “Soldiers. Army. Talk later. Leave now!”
Fluttershy didn't need to be told twice. Yet somewhere, deep inside her, a tiny voice squeaked out. Timid, and Gentle. “They came for me!”
She disregards it, and follows Sombra into the heart of the keep – The fetish room. He closes and secures the door behind him, before spinning around and blowing the wooden table in the center to smithereens, revealing a tunnel beyond.
Fluttershy groaned. That table had a lot of good memories.
Without hesitatio, Sombra pushed her towards the exposed trapdoor, ushering her into the dark tunnel beyond. Quickly, Sombra closes the trapdoor and casts the illusion of an intact table, before turning and following Fluttershy down the long, winding corridor.
The two silently ran through the dark tunnel, Too terrified to risk lighting any torches, lest they were detected. All Fluttershy knew was that the soldiers from Equestria were evil ponies, who craved nothing but power and control. Sombra was, for once, losing his cool. There was no way he was going to lose Fluttershy to them. Not after all this time.
After what seemed like an eternity, they came to the open end of the tunnel.
They were in the desert.
“We can't waste any time. If they spot us before we can get far enough away from Equestria, We'll be sitting ducks.” Fluttershy did nothing but nod in agreement, before following her lover into the harsh desert.
P.O.V. Switch
Princess celestia looked on with worry, as Twilight Sparkle and the guards searched frantically, destroying the whole keep. Leaving no corner unchecked. The rest of the mane 6 watched, dismayed. Eventually, Twilight Solemnly returned to the cave mouth, her head hung low.
“I can't find them anywhere. There was a bunny Corpse in the kitchen, though. I shudder to think what Sombra must be doing to her.”
The rest of the mane 6 grimace as they picture Fluttershy crying over a dead woodland creature Suddenly, One of the guards came running from a room in the heart of the keep. “We've found some sort of torture chamber, your highness! There was an illusion cloaking an exit. Sombra must have used it to escape!”
The mane 6 had heard enough. They rocked off to follow their friend through the tunnel. Determined to save her from the evil stallion who had taken her so long ago.
Celestia sent several guards to follow and escort the mane 6, while commanding Shining Armour and his right hoof to aid her in tracking Sombra by air.
P.O.V. Switch – Sombra and Fluttershy
The desert heat was too much for them. Sombra and Fluttershy found a cave and took shelter from the harsh sun.
“Where can we possibly go?” “The Arctic. They won't be able to search thoroughly through the blizzards.” “Alright.”
Sombra turned to look at Fluttershy. He considered starting something right there and then, but he knew there would be better times.
“That means, If the desert is in the south... We need to make it straight through equestrian land?” “Yes.”
The idea didn't sit well with Fluttershy. For as long as she could remember, Sombra had told her about the evil land of Equestria. She certainly didn't want to travel through, as Fugitives no less. But they had no choice.
“We need to move, Before the guards catch up with us.”
And without another word, the lovers began their pilgrimage.
The tunnel hadn't deposited them too deep into the desert. Within a half hour, they were in the meadows of equestria's southern borders. “We're out in the open here. We can't stay.” “Yes. We need to move, and move quickly.” Fluttershy was confident and focused. Sombra had truly outdone himself with her. Running to a grove of trees, Fluttershy and Sombra collapsed and took a silent moment to think about everything happening around them.
Sombra decided that this was a better time. They both needed stress relief, anyhow. It would only be quick. Sombra moved over, and positioned himself over Fluttershy. The two kissed in that same, hungry fashion. Thrusting into each others muzzles. Sombra knew he had to make this quick. There was no time for Fetish play, not right now. Slowly and gently, Sombra slipped into Fluttershy, as he had done so many times before. His powerful, Masterful hips began pumping rhythmically. With each thrust, Fluttershy let out a small moan. The one thing he hadn't changed was her passive, submissive, and helpless composure during sex. He liked that control over her. Sombra continued pumpiung, His hooves trailing over Fluttershy's hips, back, and rump. Fluttershy wrapped herself around Sombra as he pumped. After some hushed moans, They two finished. Almost dripping with sweat from the desert heat, combined with their own, the two searched for somewhere to clean up. As if their luck had finally turned, they happened upon a small forest spring. The two decided to rest a short while, and plan their hike through equestria. Meanwhile...
P.O.V. Change – The mane 6
Rushing through the tunnel, the mane 6 came to the edge of the mountain range. Face to face with the harsh heat of the desert. “Which way did they go?” “Can't be sure.” “Ugh. First dust and now sand? It's like hes TRYING to ruin my hair!” Completely lost, the mane 6 decided to head back to Ponyville. They could make contact with Celestia there, and go from there.
P.O.V. Change – Shining Armour, a young guard, and Princess Celestia
The three flew via Pegasus wagon, scanning the area below for any signs of the runaways. “Have either of you found anything yet?” “No, Your highness.” “They're lost to me.” This prompted a swift hoof to the back of the head. “Have some composure when speaking to the Princess, Soldier! My apologies, Your highness.” “It is quite alright. They can't have gone far. I would have been able to sense any form of magic used by King Sombra.” “So that means they're travelling by foot, right?” THWACK!
P.O.V Change – Sombra and Fluttershy
The lovers found themselves unable to come up with any viable plans. “My magic is very distinct. Celestia will sniff us out like a wolf if I use any. That's probably how she found the keep.” Fluttershy looked concerned, then thoughtful. Without magic, They had few options. Neither of them were smart, Or easy to pull off.
Sombra stood up, and walked around. Looking for something.
“What are you doing?” “I have an idea. You probably won't like it, though.”
The words didn't sit right with Fluttershy, and she would soon discover why. Finding a decently sized rock, Sombra pushed it into Fluttershy's hooves. He then lowered his horn onto another rock, and looked up at Fluttershy Expectantly. Her eyes widened as she realised what he wanted her to do. “Don't ask. Just do it. I'll be fine.” “But I can't...!” “DO IT.” The booming voice reminded Fluttershy of something. But she couldn't quite figure out what. “DO IT NOW. Looking away, Fluttershy brought the rock down with a sickening CRACK “RRGH!” Sombra clutched the remnants of his horn, poking at its stump tenderly. It was a lucky break that unicorn horns don't get blood circulation. He would be fine. He'd just have a headache.
“Now. Call down one of those birds.” “What? How?” “It's your special talent. Just let your instincts do the work.”
Fluttershy walked towards the nearest tree, and saw a decently sized bluebird lazing amoung the topmost branches. Looking up to it, a voice suddenly burst out from the depths of her mind.
“Please come down, My friend. I need your help with something, I won't hurt you at all!”
Surprised at the sudden outburst, one that she certainly hadn't been aware of, she hardly realised the bluebird fly down and perch on a rock nearby. Wasting no time, sombra took a few ferns from the nearby bushes, and tied his horn to the bluebird. “NOW. FLY.” The bluebird, Frightened by Sombra's booming voice, took off at top speed. Just before his horn left his sight, Sombra channeled all of his will into having it cast a single spell; one that caused dark crystals to drop wherever the bird flew.
“What did you just do?” Fluttershy was completely bewildered. “Those crystals will distract Celestia. Spreading like the plague, and giving off a magical signature identical to my own. Fluttershy nodded slowly “That means it'll be harder for her to search for us?”
“Yes. Well worth the sacrifice.”
Sombra once again lifted a hoof to his tender stump of a horn. He had lost it before. It could be restored eventually. “Come now. We need to get moving. Do you know where we could possibly get clothes to obscure out identities, without entering any settlements?” “The everfree forest.” “Pardon?” “There's a zebra who lives there. I can't remember her name. She wear's dark hoods. We can steal some.” Fluttershy was taken aback by the memories that she didn't even know she had. “That'll work. Let's get moving.”
“Whoa!” “What? What is it?” “Address your command officer with respect, Soldier!” “Respect my plot” “What was that?” “Nothing.” Princess Celestia held her head in her hooves, oblivious to her personnel's bickering. The sudden magical surge too much for her to bear. Sombra's magic had begun popping up all over equestria, accompanied by gigantic crystals. Unable to maintain her spell, the Princess falls unconscious. “She's out cold!” “Check out the Crystals!” “Soldier! Go down there and deal with them!” “How am I supposed to deal with THOSE?” “Smash through them or something. Get going!”
Shining Armour kicked his soldier from the wagon, barely giving him time to recover and begin gliding towards the many crystals erupting all over Equestria.
P.O.V. Switch – The mane 6
“Girls, look!” Twilight points toward the grey, jagged crystals erupting from the earth all around them. “Whats goin' awn?” “Ugh. Those crystals are an insult to crystals everywhere!” “It's more of Sombra's freaky magic! He's trying to scare us off!”
In her Bravado, Rainbow Dash tackled one of the crystals.
Bad idea.
Rainbow dash falls to the grass, crumpled.
“Oof!” “Rainbow!” “Owww...Those things are tough!” “Why is he doing this?” “He's Evil. He doesn't need a reason. We have to stop him, girls!”
With Twilight leading the way, the mane 6 rush into the meadows.
P.O.V. Switch - Sombra and Fluttershy
The lovers cut through the undergrowth of the Everfree Forest. As they neared Zecora's hut, in the heart of the forest, Sombra noticed something familiar. It was a large, burned clearing. In the middle, scraps of wood were piled up against each other. Atop the wooden scraps, a vaguely human creature crouched. Completely naked. He turned to look, Noticing the two ponies. Madness swimming in his eyes. It dawned on Sombra who he was looking at. Once it recognized who it was looking at, The creature bared its teeth and took off into the undergrowth. “Great. We aren't the only two crawling around in these ferns.” Thankfully, Fluttershy hadn't heard his bemused mutterings. Finally making it to Zecora's hut, Fluttershy and Sombra were relieved to find that Zecora wasn't home, allowing them to slip in quietly. “She must have cloaks around here somewhere.” “I think I found them.” Fluttershy pulls two think, brown cloaks from a wardrobe in Zecora's bedroom “Excellent. Two will be enough. We will need to travel light if we want to escape the guard.” The two decided to follow the trail leading from the Everfree forest – Sombra not wanting to run into his old friend in the undergrowth.
P.O.V. Change – The meadows of southern Equestria.
“That wont work, gold.” The guard looked up from the crystal he was headbutting, to see Twilight and her friends eying him quizzically. “Ehh, well, you see, Shiny wanted me to clear out the crystals, and uhh...” “Trust me, that approach isn't going to work.” Rainbow dash tenderly rubbed her head as she offered advice. “You out here looking for Fluttershy and King Sombra, as well?” Twilight rolled her eyes. “No. We're enjoying the lovely weather.” The silence was only broken by gold returning to his diligent post – Headbutting crystals The mane 6 moved along, pinkie pie even stopping to lend him a hoof, before being dragged away by rainbow. Gold stared after them. “If Sombra's such an evil stallion, Why is Fluttershy going along with him?”
P.O.V. Change – Sombra and Fluttershy on the outskirts of Ponyville
The two exited the Everfree forest, their identities safely hidden below their new hoods. However, wearing hoods like this was bound to raise suspicion.
“Should we go into Ponyville to rest?” “It's too risky. Ponies may recogni-” Sombra trailed off as Fluttershy quizzically looked at him. He had forgotten she had little to no memory of who she once was. “Leets keep going north. If we can make it through the highland trails, We'll be at manehattan. Stopping there isn't quite as risky.” “Alright then.” Fluttershy stopped to ponder over what Sombra had said, but quickly brushed it off. Now was not the time or the place. Equestria was an Evil Land... But, Why didn't it seem Evil? All the ponies looked happy enough.
P.O.V. Change – Watching Sombra and Fluttershy from afar.
Gold kept his belly to the ground, making his body as difficult to notice as possible, as per his training. He had given up on attempting to clear the crystals out. There were better ways to try and fix this problem. Capturing Sombra and Fluttershy may be one of them, but... Something wasn't right. Sombra didn't SEEM like an evil stallion. And Fluttershy Certainly didn't LOOK like a hostage. He could close in now, and capture them both with a little help. But something told him it wasn't the right thing to do. Something wasn't right here. Gold quickly hunched down as another dark figure emerged from the Everfree forest, and made a beeline for the trail that Sombra and Fluttershy had set off on.
“That definitely wasn't a guard. Creepy.”
He considered Calling Shining Armour for help.
“No chance. I'm not letting him win.”
Spreading his wings, he took to the skies and watched over the runaways, and the creature tailing them.
P.O.V. Change – Canterlot Castle
Shining Armour helped Princess Celestia onto her throne. “Your highness, What happened back there?” “A powerful dark magic. Those crystals will continue to spread as long as Sombra wills it.” Shining Armour stomps a hoof. “So then why hasn't he made his demands yet?” “I do not know. Captain, Mobilise your troops. Find those runaways. If we capture Sombra, we can end his spell, AND retrieve the element of kindness.
P.O.V> Change – The Manehattan trail
Sombra Couldn't shake the feeling that they were being followed. Fluttershy clearly shared his suspicions. However, Whenever they turned to look, the dusk behind them was empty. “It'll be getting dark soon. We need to make it to Manehattan quickly.” “I think that if we continue at this pace, We'll make it before night has a chance to fully set in. “Good. I have the oddest feeling that we're being watched. Sombra whirled around once again, And saw nothing on the trail behind him. Looking up to the air however, he caught a glimpse of a single shadow before it retreated to the clouds above. “I think we're being followed.” Fluttershy rolled her eyes. “Really? I hadn't noticed. Can we just move before we end up stranded out here in the middle of the night?” “Fine. Let's go.” As Sombra and Fluttershy pick up the pace and continue down the trail, a lone creature observes from a rock. With nothing but Hatred for Sombra on his mind. In the skies however, a single pegasus guard cursed himself for being so careless.
P.O.V. Change – Ponyville Library The mood In the library was generally a bleak one. Pinkie Pie bawled, and Applejack attempted to console her.
“There there, Sugarcube. Ah'm sure we'll get um tomarrow.”
Twilight poured over her books, searching for an answer she was doomed never to find. Rarity picked dust and sand from her mane grain by grain, moaning the whole time. Rainbow dash sulked in a book fort.
Sombra and Fluttershy finally arrived in Manehattan, the city lights cutting through the night. They needed to find a place to stay. Quickly. Sombra groaned.
“What's wrong?” “We have no bits.”
Fluttershy froze. Money! How could they have forgotte nto take some money with them when they were chased from their home?
“I suppose we can find a cardboard box, or a nightclub, or something to sleep in.”
Fluttershy Scrunched at the idea.
“If we have to.” “I don't see any other choice.”
The two began their search for shelter. Meanwhile, a crazed figure eyed them from the darkness of an alleyway.
After walking for hours in the Manehattan metropolis, Sombra and Fluttershy finally collapsed in an alleyway. They hadn't eaten all day. They weren't about to find any clean water either. As the two leaned in on each other, resigning to a colt and uncomfortable night's sleep, a trash can tipped at the mouth of the alleyway. Fluttershy screamed. Sombra realised who it was.
“Damn me and my spur-of-the-moment fetishes...”
The figure lunged forward, scrambling at a surprising speed. Sombra braced himself for impact, but was too exhausted to withstand it. He was knocked down as the beast snarled and growled. Fluttershy rushed the beast, trying to wrestle it from atop Sombra. It was a losing battle. The figure turned its attention to Fluttershy, throwing her back and knocking her out cold before returning his attention to sombra.
The creature looked nothing like who he had once been. His eyes were glazed over, filled with insanity. Terrible breath, and corroded, disgusting, rotting teeth and gums. Sombra gagged. The thing was inches away from his muzzle, and it was too much even for the wild fetish stallion. The creature wrapped its fingers around Sombra's neck slowly, tightening its grip and savoring Sombra's struggling. Sombra began to choke. The creature was going to strangle him.
Not wasting another second thinking, Gold gallopped from the mouth of the alleyway, knocking the creature from Sombra with all the strength he could muster.
The beast sized him up, before sprinting away, and climbing a fire escape onto the rooftops above. Panting, But satisfied, Gold turned to examine a shocked and exhausted Sombra.
“You certainly don't look like an evil mastermind.” “Don't patronize me.” “Yeah. You're welcome.”
Sombra, instantly remembering, crawled over to Fluttershy, trying to rouse her. Gold however, poked around for anything the beast may have left behind.
“That was certainly no normal everfree animal. What's the deal with that?”
Sombra bit his tongue. He knew exactly what the deal was, and even began to feel regret for what he had done to the human.
“You aren't very talkative, are you? What were you thinking, trying to sleep in an alleyway? In MANEHATTAN, no less...”
Sombra ignored the colt's scornful ramblings and turned his attention to Fluttershy. He tapped her face a few times with his hoof before reaching up and slapping her, much to her dismay, and Gold's surprise. It worked though. Fluttershy quickly roused and crawled back into a corner with Sombra. Gold rolled his eyes and approached the two. Sombra bared his teeth like an animal, which prompted little more than a raised eyebrow. Gold slowly reached out, and placed a bit pouch in Sombra's lap. “I'm not keep on going another round with that thing. I'm pretty sure you'd feel the same.” Sombra simply examined the pouch. “I never gave that to you, And I never helped you here.” As if in repayment, Gold took one of the cloaks they had taken from Zecora. Sombra was far too tired and bewildered to say or do anything to stop him. Gold turned, and trotted away without looking back. He could only pray that if those two ever were caught, that they would keep this a secret. Shining Armour would have his head as a trophy.
Sombra, surprised by the brief appearance of the colt, and his generosity, took a moment to consider the situation. Upon examining the contents of the pouch, he guessed that they were now in possession of roughly 300 bits. And a coupon for a Free donut box at some place called Pony-Joe's.
Shrugging off the odd coupon, Sombra gathered Fluttershy onto his back, and started looking for an affordable looking hotel. Dragging Fluttershy through the night streets was no easy task. Sombra was grateful that at least it wasn't raining. Or snowing. Eventually Sombra found a decent looking hotel, and checked in with no incident. Dragging Fluttershy up the many flights of stairs was no easy task, but he managed. He made it to the hotel room, and upon making sure it was secure, set Fluttershy down on the bed. He then headed back down the stairs, to the restaurant on the first floor. As he descended the many flights of stairs, he came across a strange, cloaked figure. With a flick of his hoof, he had flung the hood back, revealing the same colt that they had met in the alleyway. “Next time you try to disguise yourself from me, Don't do so with a cloak you stole from me.” Speechless, The colt could do nothing but hurry past Sombra to the upper floors. Sombra didn't worry. The hotel room was secure. Fluttershy was safe. Upon making it down to the bottom floor, Sombra spent the rest of the bits on anything that looked tasty enough to buy. No meat though. Apparently these ponies don't eat meat. They don't know what they're missing out on. Upon returning to the room, Sombra found Fluttershy still asleep on the bed. He poured some water from the sink, and set the food out across the bed. Sombra woke Fluttershy, and the two ate their fill.
Full and comfortable, the two decided to make good use of their hotel room. Sombra began looking for something, anything, that could be used as a fetish object. Finding nothing, Sombra sulked into the bathroom.
He spotted the bathtub, and an idea formed in his mind. With a smirk, he began running the bath, and went to get Fluttershy.
The warm, Bubbling water soothed and relaxed both Fluttershy and Sombra. Fluttershy sat in between Sombra's legs, and leaned back into his chest as he used the water to wash the grime and dirt from her coat and mane. All the while, nibbling seductively on her ear. She leans back into Sombra, breathing lightly, and relaxing. “Don't relax just yet.” Sombra smirked down at Fluttershy, and she realised the real purpose of the bath, and straightened up. This time, Sombra was in for a surprise, as Fluttershy took the reigns and began to fondle Sombra's stallionhood behind her back.
Sombra and Fluttershy maneuvered around each other, wet fur sliding against wet fur. This would be interesting.
“Three taps on the rump if you need to get up to breathe, Alright?”
Sombra whispered in Fluttershy's ear as he lowered her into the soapy water Fluttershy took a deep breath and allowed herself to sink below the surface Sombra positioned himself in a 69 position, taking a deep breath before diving down to lick Fluttershy's marehood underneath the water. All the while, Receiving a blowjob to remember from Fluttershy.
Their bodies slid against each other, as the warm water cradled their lovemaing. Three taps on the rump. Sombra removed his weight from Fluttershy, allowing her to come back up for air, before lowing himself back into the water with her. They began to shudder with pleasure, water sloshing up against the sides of the bathtub. Fluttershy's lubricants seep from her marehood, swirling about in the water. Sombra can't hold on much longer, and blows his load just as he receives three taps on the rump. Fluttershy surfaces, gagging on her mouthful. Sombra is quick to pat her on the pack, apologetically trying to remedy the situation..
“Nice timing”
As fluttershy chokes out the words, silence falls. Fluttershy is the one who fails to last. She begins to giggle uncontrollably. Sombra follows suit, sloshing around, splashing each other with the dirty bathtub water. “I think we should probably rerun this bath if we actually want to be clean.” “Being clean is overrated.” “You know, we will arouse far more suspicion if we walk through the city tomorrow smelling of spak and sex.” “If you insist...” Sombra and Fluttershy climb from the bathtub, soapy love water dripping from their coats. Sombra reran the bath, quickly adding some bubble solution before slipping back in, inviting Fluttershy to do the same. For the longest time, they just sat there in the warm, wet, bubbly water, holding each other. Staring into each others eyes. The water was cold by the time they finally got out, and decided to get some sleep.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom just beyond their bathroom wall, a single golden colt sits on the bed. Scared and traumatized.
“I knew I should've gone with the room on the other side of theirs.”
Three princesses paced around the throne room, and Shining Armour had long since given up on attempting to calm them down.
Celestia worried about the fate of Equestria, if the elements of harmony should be lost.
Luna worried about the damage Sombra had the potential to cause.
Cadence worried about about the soldier who hadn't been seen since being kicked from a wagon midflight.
She decided to turn and lay into the culprit once again.
“I KNEW IT WAS A BAD IDEA! WHY DO I EVER TRUST YOU?”
Shining Armour tried his best to stay calm, not to cower in the face of his wife's wrath.
“I have faith that he will be alright. We do this all the time. Nothing new.” “The next time you pull something like this, I swear to Celestia shining Armour...” Cadence trailed off as she caught an annoyed glance from the Sun Goddess herself.
P.O.V. Switch – Ponyville Library
The ponies lay spread out wherever there was room, the library was in a shambles, no book unread. Except for the books that made Rainbow Dash's book fort.
P.O.V. Switch – Manehattan hotel room
Sombra groggily sat up, looking around the hotel room, half asleep.
He froze.
That creature was there again. Crouching atop the counter opposite the bed, teeth bared. Making no sudden movements, he woke Fluttershy, who stifled a scream.
Slowly, Sombra scanned the room. Without his horn, he wasn't able to simply tear this creature apart. And It would have an advantage in a place like this. Continuing to scan the area, Sombra met its gaze once again. There was nothing but hatred left in those eyes.
And all of it was for him.
Whoever that colt was, he certainly wasn't about to make another appearance. They were on their own. And Sombra was at a complete loss. Luckily, Fluttershy was not.
Fluttershy reached under the bet for one of the metal trays Sombra had brought up with him last night. The creatures gaze was locked on Sombra, it was as if she didn't exist. She left the bed, and slowly snuck around the edge of the room, while the creature stared Sombra down. CLANG! The creature took a direct hit to the face from Fluttershy's tray. Clutching its face, it swung from the window and escaped through the fire exit.
Deciding not to linger any longer, Sombra and Fluttershy quickly ate and left. Before the creature had the chance to recover and return. They were in no condition to fight something so dangerous. Hurrying down the many flights of stairs, Sombra and Fluttershy took off Into a busy manehattan. Disguises weren't needed in the rushing metropolis.
Sombra and Fluttershy struggled against the rush of city ponies. They may be disorientated, but they were still aware of the colt trailing behind them. Sombra gave Fluttershy a nod, and they turned off into an alleyway. Gold tiptrotted towards the mouth of an alleyway, peering in. “I guess they didn't learn their lesson the first time.” Slowly, cautiously, gold followed them down the alleyway, and caught the sound of light breathing behind a dumpbster. Rolling his eyes, he trotted quickly past the dumpster, yelling “NOPE!” and leaping forward at the last moment. Both Sombra and Fluttershy were unable to stop in time, and crashed into each other. Sombra put on his best intimidating face, before turning to see the colt rolling around in the alleyway dirt, Laughing hysterically.
“Alright, Just what is the deal with you anyway?”
Gold was still laughing full throttle.
“Why did you give Sombra that money?”
Still laughing.
“Why are you following us?”
Slowing down a little bit.
“Why are you helping us?”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Gold sat up on his haunches and faced the two.
“No real reason.”
Spreading his wings, gold prepared to fly over the duo to escape the alleyway. Sombra had different ideas. Grabbing a hold of golds short tail with his mouth, he threw the colt to the floor with a THUD. Gold yelped out in pain, before scrambling to his hooves and examining his newly injured wings, before regarding the perpetrator coldly.
“If this is how you treat your friends, I'd hate to see how you treat your enemies.”
Sombra rolled his eyes. This colt stunk of cliché action movie lines. He was dealing with little more than a hyperactive teenager.
“Answer ALL of our questions, and MAYBE we'll let you go.”
“Alright, If It's bugging you that much.” Fluttershy and Sombra stared, coldly. “I gave you that money to help you out, and I'm tailing you because I'm with the royal guard.” Sombra almost instantly snarled at the words. “Hang on, Hear me out first, Will ya?” Fluttershy put a foreleg out, stopping Sombra from descending on the colt like a ton of bricks. I'm following you because I'm supposed to tell Captain Shining Armour where you are, so he can deploy troops to capture you. I'm helping you because I don't think that's the right thing to do. Sombra was slightly taken aback, but didn't stop staring. “If you're with the guard, Then why aren't you trying to capture us like the rest of them?” “Because I don't think you're evil, and Fluttershy doesn't look like a hostage to me.”
Sombra flashed an unsettling smile. “You can't be sure of that.”
Gold shrugged
“You're right. I can't be. Suppose that means I just have to trust you.”
Sombra cocked his head, considering the situation. Looking to fluttershy, he knew that she was having the same idea.
“Fine, you're coming with us.” “I am?” “Yes. You're going to lead us to the Arctic, the fastest way you know how.” “I will?” “Yes. You will. And don't try to fly away, Or I'll clip your wings. Got it?” “Clip my wings and send me to sleep with the fishies in a pair of ceement shooz?” “What?” “Eh, nothing. Let's just go.”
P.O.V. Change – The mane 6
Twilight and Co. had begun Traveling as soon as they heard the news. Some strange humanoid creature lurking around Manehattan, even breaking into a hotel. They all knew who it was. When Sombra had escaped with Fluttershy all that time ago, Anon began spending all of his time in that burned clearing. He began to lose his mind, lashing out at anypony who tried to help him. Eventually, he stopped visiting from the forest altogether. They hadn't seem him since. But they knew that this was him. For all that time, he hadn't left the forest even once. And that means that if he had, he may just be tailing Sombra. Which meant he was the only way they were going to find Fluttershy and save her.
P.O.V. Change – The runaway lovers and their hostage
The unlikely trio walked in silence. Gold contemplated how he would get word back to Shining. Chances are, if he didn't, he'd end up stranded in the arctic with a broken wing. That wouldn't end well. He could feel Sombra's gaze cutting into the back of his head. Probably should have just kept walking past that alleyway.
Sobmra and Fluttershy had that feeling once again. That they were being stalked, watched, Most likely by the very same creature. Fluttershy looked at Sombra uneasily. The situation was getting to them both. The sooner they could make it to the arctic, the sooner they would be able to find a remote settlement to settle down in. They were so deep in thought, that they didn't notice the small blue jay land on gold's shoulder. They didn't notice it fly away, with a small letter strapped to its leg, Either. P.O.V. Change – The mane 6
Twilight and Co arrived at the hotel that Sombra and Fluttershy had stayed in the night before. After a long argument with the receptionist, the only Information Twilight could manage was that A large black stallion and yellow mare had checked out without a word, and that a golden colt had done the same almost immediately after. Twilight groaned. “My brother is going to kill him.” Pinkie pie let out a shriek, as a green blur made a beeline from the kitchen to the main doors. Acting on the moment, Twilight chased it, Her friends close behind.
P.O.V. Change – Canterlot Castle
A small Blue jay flew into the window of Shining's office. Depressingly quiet and empty without the gold colt snoring in the corner, or eating messily at the desk. Immediately, Shining parted himself from his paperwork, and opened the window. Allowing the Blue jay a well earned moment of rest, before taking the letter from its leg and allowing it to fly away once again. Shining read quickly, his eyes widening with every word. “Damnit!” Shining bolted out of his office, and was soon taking an Aerial wagon for the arctic north.
Sombra and Fluttershy finally allowed themselves a moments rest, snow falling all around them. Sombra keeping an eye on his hostage, making sure he didn't wander too far. He didn't need to. A silhouette began rapidly approaching through the snow and clouds Without even waiting for the guards to come to a landing halt, Shining Armour threw himself from the wagon, and Landed next to his partner, confronting the runaways.
As the two Duos faced off, Twilight and her friends arrived on the Scene. They had been hot on anon's trail, but it seemed as through he had completely disappeared. The sight of her old friends caused Fluttershy's memory and identity to come flooding back. The force too much to take, She collapsed into the snow. Sombra new it was coming. Her memory was returning in Full. It was over.
As the drama unfolded below, Princesses Celestia and Cadence, having followed Shining Armour upon seeing him depart, began to come in for a safer landing.
Celestia made no hesitation upon landing, Spreading her wings regally and staring down the fallen king, Sombra.
“Not only have you exploited our laws to your own SICK ends, you have taken the trust we saw fit to give you, and throw THIS back into our faces!”
It was over. Fluttershy would regain her memories at any moment now. She would turn and run just as she had done all those times before.
Sombra resigned to his fate.
With a not from princess Celestia, Cadence began to channel the energy of the crystal heart – Preparing to destroy King Sombra. This time for good.
Cadence could cast at any second. Gold tried to make sense of the situation This wasnt right. Nopony deserved this. He saw the fear, the sadness, the crushing defeat in Sombra's eyes. He looked to shining, who mouthed;
“Do you give up yet?”
Gold hung his head, before looking up to Shining Armour.
“Fine Shiny. You win.”
Shining grinned
“I'll be expecting those 300 bits by the end of the week. I told you you wouldn't be able to make it as a guard without me going easy on you.
“Uh, Shining?”
“Yeah?”
“Sombra's really about to die.”
“Oh. Right.”
With a nod, the two dived forward and positioned themselves between Cadence and Sombra.
Unable to fire at her husband, and one of her best friends, Cadence powers down. Suppressing the power of the crystal heart once again.
Princess Celestia was the first to step forward, Angrily.
“What are you two doing? Sombra needs to be destroyed before he can do any more damage.”
Shining and Gold stood their ground.
“He's certainly done more than his fair share of damage...”
Gold regarded his injured wing, solemnly.
“He's caused us all more grief than he had any right to.” Shining Armour rubbed his horn, Painful memories flooding back.
“But Completely Obliterating him? While hes running AWAY from you?” “You can't do that to somepony!”
Princess Celestia wasn't impressed.
“Might I remind you that he exploited ancient equestrian law, kidnapped the element of kindness, brainwashed her into what we see here today, and spread nightmare crystals throughout the land?”
Shining and Gold hesitated for a moment, unsure how to respond.
“Okay, yeah. That wasn't cool, but-” “ENOUGH, YOU TWO.”
Celestia's booming voice cut through the arctic night like a knife through butter. With a flick of her horn, she levitated the two stallions, and flung them into a snowdrift.
With Celestia enraged, and Gold and Shining out of her way, Cadence began to channel magic once again.
Fluttershy stirred.
Her memories became flooding back to her.
Anon was that creature, driven mad by the events that night in the everfree forest. Sombra's mind games. He kidnapped her, broke her apart.
Yet...
He just wanted someone to love. He was lonely. He didn't want to hurt me, Not ever. He just didn't want to be alone anymore...
What he did is in the past. It's where we are now that matters. He loves me, and I love him.
And I won't let him down!
Fluttershy forced herself to her hooves, and staggered in between Cadence and Sombra. “CADENCE! STOP RIGHT NOW!” Her demands fell on deaf ears. Cadence was far too focused to hear anything but the power she was preparing to unleash. Princess Celestia took a step forward.
“Listen Fluttershy. You don't really love him. It's only an illusion he created to control you.”
“I know what he did! I love him for who he is, not because of what he did to me!”
Celestia turned her attention away. She was having none of this.
Fluttershy's friends however, stood there heartbroken. They knew what they had to do.
With a collective determination, the girls decided that they needed to be there for their friend. She may be very different to the Fluttershy they had lost all that time ago, but she was still their friend. Rushing to Fluttershy's aid, Twilight and the others threw themselves in-between Cadence and Sombra. Seeing the collective efforts of their friends, Shining and Gold finally managed to break free of their snowy prison, once again returning to stand between cadence and sombra.
Sensing her husband's presence, Cadence stopped her spell, allowing the energy to dissipate all through the arctic, resulting in beautiful lights in the sky. There was no more of the crystal hearts power left within her. Sensing and Realizing the true extent of the feeling shared by Fluttershy and Sombra, she also turned and shielded Sombra from Celestia.
Princess Celestia raised an eyebrow, eyeing the collection of ponies shielding Sombra from her view. “Give me one reason to give him a second chance.” Gold stepped forward, putting on his ever so rare formal voice. “Your highness, I am more than capable of providing a comprehensive and disturbingly detailed re-” TWACK. “Dude, the bet's over!” “Bet or not, you don't say that to the Princess. Composing himself again, gold continued. “As I was saying, U am capable of providing you with a detailed report proving Sombra's reform and pure intentions” Remembering the hotel, gold had to bite his tongue to avoid making a snide comment about the many different views of 'Pure intentions' “This report will be able to provide you with all the reasons you need and more.” Princess Celestia furrowed her brow.
“Alright then. I will be expecting that report in 3 days. Failure to meet this deadline will result in Sombra's excecution.”
With that, Princess Celestia, and Princess Cadence, took their leave.
“Yeah. No Pressure or anything.”
“Uh oh.”
“What?”
“Gold hasn't handed in a single report on-time since recruitment.”
“Don't worry, I can handle this one.”
Fluttershy helped Sombra get to his feet.
Sombra was still recovering from Shock.
All these Ponies, Ponies he barely knew, had put their lives on the line to save him.
“Why did you all help me?”
“Don't look at me. I'm not saying it. Shiny?”
“No thanks. Twily, your ball.”
“Boys are useless. We helped you because that's what friends do for each other.”
Sombra and Fluttershy stood at the train station, awaiting the train that would take them to Canterlot.
“Are you sure you have to go?”
Pinkie had been adversed to the idea since they had received word on the way back, but there was no way around it. Celestia required Sombra to be within her reach, so she could examine his behavior and pass judgment.
Shining would be returning to Canterlot with the, Whilst Gold would be heading for appleoosa.
“We'll come visit you lots!” “I'm so very envious. Moving to Canterlot? What a privilege!”
Twilight rolled her eyes with a grin, and pushed rarity out of the way to give Fluttershy a hug. “You you you can always come to us, whenever you need any sort of help.”
Fluttershy warmly returned the hug.
“The same goes to you, Twilight.”
The train had pulled into the station, and it was time to say the final goodbyes.
“Ah'm sure we'll all meet again real soon!” “Mmhm!” Not wanting to drag out the farewell any longer, Fluttershy, Sombra, And Shining boarded the train to canterlot.
“Why aren't you going back to Canterlot with them, Gold?”
“Braeburn keeps asking me to visit. Can't imagine why.”
