A few days later, Sombra finally breaks out of his crystalline prison. He then heads straight for the teenage princess. "Princess, oh Princess," he whispers in Flurry's ear, "I'm out. Come and fight, Savior. You're still the Savior, right?" 

"Yes!" responds Flurry with a shout. "And I'm not scared of you! I'm not that scared infant anymore!" 

"I know Savior Flurry Heart, daughter of the Savior and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza," responds Sombra with a hiss. 

A bunch of green smoke forms around the filly princess as figures begin to appear. "We're the Daughters of Sombra," hiss the ghostly apparitions as they become touchable forms, "Wrath. Pestilence. Vengeance. Fear. Death. Famine. Plague." 

"And we're the Crystal Soldiers of the Emperor of the Crystal Empire," say the Crystal Zombies as they rise out of the ground around her. "We hope you're ready for war!" 

"We're all ready for your war!" Flurry snaps back, her teeth gnashing at the crowned smoke in the vague shape of a pony. He then vanishes into nothing along with the Daughters of Sombra and the Crystal Zombies. Flurry, now a bit scared, runs off in terror and tears into the arms of her parent and aunt. 

"What's wrong, darling?" asks Cadance concerned. 

"Sombra, he's free and he's ready to rage war!" responds Flurry. "He came and surprised me in my room with his Crystal Zombies and shadow minions, the Daughters of Sombra." 

"Then we must prepare for war!" responds Shining. 

Later that day, all the soldiers are prepped and ready and they head off to war with Sombra and all his minions. They are followed close behind by the four royals, all in full armor. As they approach, they see Sombra come in to form in front of them. "Time for war," he hisses. He and his minions then charge at the royals and their soldiers. Shining and Cadance handle the minions whilst Twilight helps Flurry get close to the evil tyrant king himself and they take him on together, Flurry using both the fighting skills and friendship and love magic skills she learned as well. After a good bit of fighting, Flurry manages to actually hit Sombra in his solid form with her magic and even cracks his horn a bit. Screaming in pain, he retreats away followed by his minions. The war is not yet over, but at least it's at a yield for the time being. It gives them time to regroup and work on a better plan to stop the tyrant and his army of goons and minions, especially the shadow warriors Sombra calls his daughters.
