light
Sombra groaned as he regained consciousness.
I... I see light
Sombra began to regrow his form from the horn that had survived the blast. First came his head dark as the void then his barrel and legs. His form solidified once it gained shape and his armor glinted dully in the sunlight. He sat up groaning and clutched his head which was throbbing painfully. He opened his eyes to see a green field with a mountain in the distance, on that mountain was a shining white city.
Canterlot.
Sombra had recognized the capital of the depressingly resilient nation. The dwelling of his arch nemesis, Shadows Bane she had been called by the crystal ponies before its disappearance. Anger swelled in his chest.
Luna! He thought enraged, I will take my vengeance. First on you, then on that pathetic waste of sperm unicorn.
Sombra was angry and he was close to the one who he hated most but he knew better than to go in without a plan. So he suppressed his rage, temporarily, and began to think. A plan formulated itself in his mind, how and when he would carry it out came first then came the plan of how to get there and how long it you’ll take, what to do with any guards he came across and how he would dispose of them.
Sombra grinned, he would strike when they least expect it.
that night
Sombra had formed himself into a shadow and glided across the gardens soundlessly. He passed by three thestral guards and two solar guards, all of which he killed in unique and painful ways. He glided through the halls of Canterlot castle looking for his target.
He stopped all at once and listened. A voice, a beautiful voice was singing into the night sky.
Luna.
He followed the voice to a set of double doors guarded by thestrals. The doors were dark blue and decorated with crescent moons. This was the place. He crept up to the two thestrals and silently impaled them with shards of dark crystal. He opened the door silently and entered.
What he saw surprised him. The room was not as furnished as he expected, if anything this was no different than a peasants home. The walls were mostly bare save for a few star charts and maps, there was a desk situated against the wall left of the door, it was covered in blueprints, plans, notes and a few letters. There on the balcony was the princess herself, she sat in the middle of the stone ledge singing.
Much as I despise her, I must admit she has a beautiful voice.
That was an understatement, her voice would have rivaled that of an angels, it rang clear and soft through the night sky. It was so entrancing that Sombra actually stopped for a moment to listen, it filled him with a sense of calm. It was strange to him.
Luna sang for a few more minutes than turned and entered her humble chambers. She had abandoned her regalia, crown and shoes whenever possible therefore stood before him naked. Luna stopped at the sight of him, she stared shocked at his being there. He smiled wickedly.
Celestia was preparing to go to bed when she heard it, She had removed her normal adornments and bathed. Twilight and her friends were staying in the castle that night after the wedding. She was just about to get in bed when she heard someone scream. It sounded familiar, as though it came from the very pony that had been singing moments before.
Celestias eyes widened,Luna.
Celestia teleported to Lunas chambers and saw none other than King Sombra standing there. Luna was nowhere to be found. Celestia lit up her horn charging an attack spell.
“What have you done with my sister,” She growled, “Tell me.”
“I put her somewhere safe, you will soon join her once those insufferably obnoxious group of ponies and their pet dragon get here.” He said in his demonically deep voice, “ Speaking of, here they come.”
Not two seconds after he said the last word the door burst open and in came Twilight her friends and spike. When thy saw who was standing there they all gasped. Then they did the usual thing, with five of them getting battle ready, one of them hiding behind the rest and the last grabbing the nearest weaponlike object he could.
Celestia then released the bolt of magic which Sombra easily doged. Spinning low he swept Celestia off her hooves and punched her across the room. Celestia not expecting this grunted as she hit the floor. Spike, having grabbed a broom, charged Sombra twirling the broom like a bo staff. Sombra shot him with a dark blast of magic, however being surprised at the young dragons willingness to fight him and the obvious skill he had with a broom he had not paid attention to the kind of spell he used. Spike hit the wall and his scales began to glow.
Sombra, already tired of this “Fight”, trapped all of them in a sphere of black magic.
“Don’t worry, you will see your night princess soon enough.” He laughed, “Though I have a little surprise for you concerning that particular pain in the ass.”
So Sombra opened a portal of black magic and sent them through. He failed to notice the quickly growing green and purple dragon in the bubble. Now he had disposed of the biggest threats, now he had do deal with the lovebirds and the crystal heart, Good thing they were all in the same place.
Sombra sped across the grassy plane until it whitened into a layer of snow. Then the Crystal Empire came into view, and their fate was sealed. Sombra got to the heart, took it and smashed it with his magic. He corrupted the Empire and took the two lovebirds prisoner, making sure to keep the two and entire Empire apart.
the reign of King Sombra begins now
