We looked all over the castle for the heart. I didn't want to get in the way of her glory so I kept quiet as we searched. We went back into the throne room and Twilight mentioned Celestia was teaching her dark magic and used it on the throne which showed a big stair well going down.
"How far does it go?"
Spike asked as I fetched My cat ring from my pouch. I stood on the first step getting ready to jump. Twilight came up from behind me grabbing my arm.
"Kobe what are you doing?"
"I hate stairs.”
After I said that, I jumped with Twilight wrapped around me screaming. We landed in about five seconds after I jumped. There was a door in front of me and I tried to pull it but it just shot to the other side of me. Twilight got off me once she saw the door and also tried to open it but it did the same thing.
She shot it with her dark magic and it stopped glowing a green hue.
"Guys I think it's here.”
We approached the door and everything went white and when my vision came too I was on a battle field. There was fire and death everywhere. I looked around for Twilight but I was alone. The sound of someone calling for help got my attention and I followed the sound walking past dying ponies.
When I saw who was calling out my heart stopped. It was my friends and family all laying dead in a pile. Kelso was the only one barely moving and I ran to him confused on what happens.
"Kelso what happened here, who did this to you?”
He didn't answer but he only pointed behind me. I turned around to see an alicorn in golden armor holding a sword in her hands. I looked at her face an realized it was Celestia.
"Foolish human you and your kind have no place in the galaxy you will all perish.”
After she said that all i could feel was anger and hatered. I lost control of my body as I lunged towards her wanting to rip her apart. She dodged it and stabbed me but with all the adrenaline I couldn't feel the pain and swung at her legs. I was swinging my sword and fist in every direction trying to hit her but she kept flying off.
She flew down and landed a few blows on me but I grabbed her sword and broke it with no issue. She looked bewildered and before she could do anything I punched her in her face. We traded blows and she tried to fly away again but was caught with a chain I picked up from the ground.
"GET OVER HERE!!"
I pulled her towards me and ripped her wings off with full force and she screamed in pain but I didn't care, I wanted her to suffer. She turned around and impaled me with her horn which caused me to cry out as I fell to my knees.
"You lost human....you lost"
"Actually Celestia despite my best efforts to the contrary....it turns out I won.”
I crawled to my sword wanting to give it my all, I grabbed My sword for one last fight. I stood up and Celestia limped towards me with her broken blade. When she went for the kill I stabbed her in her gut.
"I win!”
Is all I said as she fell to the ground dead. I walked over to Kelso who was now dead and I pulled out My estus flask to drink but before I could drink it my vision went white.
(At the fair)
Colin and Kelso were doing their best at distracting the Crystal ponies with sword fighting and jousting with Rainbow Dash. While they jousted the Crystal ponies were cheering them on and having the time of their lives. Colin and Kelso could see the shield fading in and out which wasn't good.
"Man I hope Kobe finds whatever we need cause I don’t think we could fight some evil king in real life."
Kelso said with slight fear in his voice, Colin took notice of this and put his hand on his should assuring him.
"Don't worry he's an idiot and he'll find something even if his anger issues get to him"
They both laughed and watched as Flutter Shy got tossed by Rainbow Dash. After a while of walking around the fair Kelso and Colin was visited by Pinkie pie who looked very energetic as usual.
"Hey guys wanna help me with a little show for the little ones?"
Before they could answer the shield disappeared and not a second later black smoke came through and from the smoke was a head of an old unicorn king.
"Uh oh"
Pinkie Pie said staring at the king.
"EVERY ONE GET INSIDE NOW!!"
They heard Rainbow Dash yell while flying by to the castle. The others soon followed and made it back in time to set up a defensive move. Black crystals started covering the blue ones as Sombra made His way inside. Colin jumped down from the door frame stabbing Sombra in the back but Sombre barely felt it due to his dark abilities and threw Colin off the balcony. Sombre then pulled out a Scythe made of black Crystal.
"What a fool he was, now kneel before your true king welps!"
"Eat my magic bitch!"
Kelso yelled shooting a soul dart at him. The soul dart hit Sombra in the face which made him angry and charged with his syth to which Kelso blocked then smacked the king in the head with his staff. Sombra teleported behind Kelso and impaled him with his Scythe.
"You will suffer as your friend did."
Kelso smiled and pulled out a fire bomb. Sombra looked at him in shock wondering why he wasn't dead. Kelso coughed and looked back at Sombra.
"Parry this you filthy casual"
After he said that the bomb went off tossing both of them in different directions. Kelso landed on the balcony and Sombra landed near a wall. Kelso got back up and drank his estus and sat back down taking a break.
"Yeah I'll wait for the others.
Below him Colin was in a tent that saved him from being killed. He got up and walked out of the debris and saw about fifty armed dark crystal ponies who didn't look to happy to see him. He went on the offensive and killed three of the ponies with his vestiges flame, ponies charged at him. Colin parried the first swing and countered the second one then used combustion to kill the surrounding ponies but there were still more left.
The remaining ponies backed off, then a bigger pony with a mace about Colins height. This pony was probably a captain but that didn't stop Colin from throwing down. The captain swung towards Colin but rolled away in time and sliced the ponies heels. The pony spun and hit Colin throwing him into a house where a mother and child were hiding.
"Don't worry I got thi-"
He got cut off as the mace came flying at him throwing him again through the house. He got back up and dodged the next attack, he rolled under and past the pony and stabbed him in the back which caused the pony to yell in pain and grabbed Colin. Before he could crush him Colin used another vestiges flame and threw it at the ponies face and killed him. Colin got up and was seen by more dark crystal ponies.
"Oh come on!”
Kelso went back to the throne room where he saw the girls fighting Sombra. He thought 'screw it' and went to join them. Pinkie pie was using her Canon she pulled from her hair and shot a cake made of steel. Sombra, Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack were using little swords they took from armor stands. Rarity was shooting magic at him while Flutter Shy stayed back with Candence who didn’t look too good.
"Man why did I ever get Darksouls;" Kelso said to himself as he used the affinity spell on Sombra. It wasn’t everyday he got to fight some evil pony king on another planet. He pulled out his sword wanting to get up close and personal. He shot another soul dart and went for an overhead, only to get parried and Sombras Scythe whipped around but was also blocked by Rainbow Dashes sword.
A glare of blue light caught everyone's attention which was at the top of the castle tower. Sombra raced towards the light with Kelso chasing after him. Kelso could see what was giving off the light.
"A heart?"
He said to himself struggling to keep up with Sombra. He saw spike holding the heart and so did Sombra. He was getting closer to Spike, who looked terrified, but before Sombra could get to him Kobe slammed into him causing both of them to fall off the crystal bridge Sombra made.
There was a gap between the bridge and the tower and Kelso needed to get Spike to safety. The black crystals were growing behind Spike which caused him to jump and he would have fell to his death if it weren't for Kelso catching him.
"I got you my guy!” He said to Spike pulling him up and they ran down the bridge back to the castle main room where Candence walked up to them weakly. She saw the heart with Spike and they went to the alter where the fake heart was and replaced it, but nothing happend. Not too far away a very angry knight was beating Sombra to a pulp.
(Kobes POV)
I was throwing punch after punch at Sombras face. I left my sword on the ground when we fell but I didn't notice the crystal ponies were watching me wail on him. He finally threw off and I picked up my sword quickly and he had his scythe and we clashed blades. He was an amazing fighter but I had one thing he didn't and that was being an American.
He got a few decent cuts in back when he went for the next strike he was kicked in the side office, his head by Colins boot. This made Sombra angry and began shooting magic at us to which I blocked and Colin dodged. Kelso soon joined us and Sombras little army was behind him while it was just us three so it was an even fight.
We charged at each other and it turned into a blood bath. I shot lighting at the first few soldiers and used my sword to wipe out the next and Colin set them ablaze while Kelso sliced and diced his way through. Sombra and Colin we're going at it with Sombra taking more hits and Colin swinging and rolling.
I heard Cadence call out to her ponies about love or something I wasn't really listening I was busy ripping and tearing. Me and Kelso went to help Colin while killing everything in-front of us. I saw Colin getting jumped so we made our way to Colin and I stabbed into Sombras side and he didn’t seem to like my blessed Zweihander inside him. Kelso kept wacking him with his staff while I pulled out three fire bombs and threw it towards the dark Crystal ponies approaching us and they turned into charred corpses.
Sombra lit his horn and the sleep he used was an explosive one killing the rest of his troops but sending him backwards. I groaned and got up to my feet only to be met with a blade to the chest.
"Why does everybody keep stabbing me in the chest!?"
His eyes widened
"What kind of abominable creatures are you?”
I stood up and he looked scared. He tried to destroy my faith and my mind but failed and now he will be judged by God. I pulled his scythe out of my chest and took it from him causing him to step back. I walked closer, I lifted the scythe in the air and before he could stop me his head was already off. I fell to the ground feeling tired and hurt. Colin was laying a few feet away and looked at me.
"Hey Kobe?"
"Yeah?"
"When are we getting food?"
We all started laughing, Kelso was wheezing and the girls came up to us. I turned to look at them and something about them looked different.
I think it was because they looked more Crystal.
"Are y'all okay?"
I gave her the thumbs up and picked up Sombras head but Twilight and the girls didn't seem to enjoy our victory and started puking, I think Flutter Shy fainted. I got up and put Sombras head in a basket so I can show Celestia but I’m sure she would know by now.
We went back to the throne room where they held a celebration for Spike which I was happy for, the guy didn't really get to do much in the show. During the celebration Shining Armor came up to us.
"I want to thank all of you for stopping King Sombra even though it was a gruesome end for him.”
"Like I said we were here to kill.”
He smiled acknowledging our reasoning, because we talked some more about our plans to find a way home and he seemed interested as to how we could take on an army of dark Crystal ponies and Sombra at the same time. To be honest I didn't know how we did it, I guess the good Lord was watching over us.
Me and the boys went to the snack table and chowed down in private. We were sad that there wasn't steak or chicken so that means we need to hunt for our food. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie pie came in as we finished and had our helmets on. They always asked what we looked like but we just said we didn't look like anything important but still they try.
"Oh hey guys what's up?"
Rainbow Dash asked in her 'let me see your face' tone. They had plates full of sweets and good lord did it make me feel sick. I wanted to ask how they eat all that but I'm afraid of the answer. Pinkie pie ate while Rainbow asked us for the hundreth time what we look like but no answer.
After they finished we met up with the others and went back to the train station to head to Canterlot. During the ride Twilight came up to me and sat across from my seat.
"Hey can I ask you something?"
I looked at her and nodded.
"What did you see when you looked at the door?"
I thought about it for a moment but decided to lie to her.
"It was nothing"
She look puzzled and worried, she put her hand on my knee in a way to assure me things were gonna be fine. It didnt really bother me much but now I can’t get the images out of my head. I decided to take a nap while we rode.
Death was everywhere I heard screams from my family and cries for help and heard voices yelling at me.
Its all your fault.....you could have saved them....you coward.
"Shut up shut up!"
I kept screaming back, but they got louder.
Why did you let us die.....you only care for yourself....they will all perish for your mistake.
I closed my eyes with tears running down them. I just wanted it to stop, luckily Kelso violently shaking me awake did.
"Yo we're here man.”
I looked around and Colin looked a little unsettled. I got up and pushed my way to the door with the basket in hand. Colin amd Kelso ran to catch up to me.
"Hey you good my guy, you looked stressed out more than usual?"
"I'm fine im just tired."
Colin looked at me with a skeptic look but shrugged. We continued to walk and stopped at The Donut Palace again then made our way to the castle. The girls finally caught up when we made it to the big doors to the throne room.
"Gosh you guys move fast.”
Apple Jack said huffing and the others nodded. I rolled my eyes and entered the room with the others in tow. Celestia and Luna were talking with some white unicorn and they looked agitated. I decided to be the chode and threw Sombras head at the unicorn who looked horrified and ran away.
The princesses didn’t like the display either but held their own. We approached them with victory in our walk...well me and the boys did, the others were too tired to show off.
"Here is your proof of his defeat now I hope you got some chicken ready cause were hungry and I swear if it's anything candy related you will have another head on your floor."
Colin and Kelso both nodded and crossed their arms. Celestia sighed and with a snap of her fingers there was a buffet of food this time with meat. We lifted our helmets to where we can still eat without taking it off to Rainbow and Pinkies disappointment. We were so excited and went savage on the food while everyone else looked on in concern.
"Well I did get a letter from Twilight that he was defeated in a....certain way"
I gave her a thumbs up while eating, I offered a piece of steak to her but she sadly declined by slapping me in the face 'well her loss'. Celestia began a little speech for them.
"I would like to congratulate you all on your mission and Twilight for her understanding that not everything can be done alone, and also Spike for bringing the heart to Cadence despite the danger.”
I spat out my food and looked at her make hand gestures towards me and the boys. She noticed what I was doing and rolled her eyes and sighed.
"And I would like to thank you three for stopping King Sombra and his army from taking over.”
I nodded and began to finish my food. After that whole ordeal Celestia offered a room for us guys so that way we don't crowd the library. We accepted it and after the girls left, a guard took us to our rooms.
The rooms were big and we got our own which was a plus. I saw it was getting dark and went to bed saying a quick prayer before hand and went to sleep.
