This story is a sequel to Twilight Becomes a Bug Exterminator


The Crystal Empire has returned.

But that's not the only thing that's back.

The tyrant of the Crystal Empire, King Sombra, is back, and he wants to reclaim the Crystal Ponies as his slaves. Twilight will not allow that to happen, and she prepares to face him.

Except, she has a plan up her metaphorical sleeve. An explosive one.


Set in "The Return of the Crystal Empire; Part Two". Not to be taken seriously.

Sequel: The Return of the King

Deciding to find a wife, King Sombra arrives in Ponyville and finds the perfect mare: Twilight Sparkle. But how in Tartarus' name is he supposed to win her heart? Charlie Daniels, help him out!

This was inspired by an apparent cut scene from the episode “Slice of Life,” where King Sombra would’ve gotten into a musical duel with Octavia Melody a la The Devil Went Down To Georgia. So, I just ran with that idea and rewrote the lyrics to make it a Twibra story. Enjoy!

Now with reading by Lotus Moon!
