//------------------------------// // Plans // Story: Alternate ending of the beginning of the end, part-2. // by KingSombraTheTyrantRuler //------------------------------// Sombra’s P.O.V: I watched as the purple alicorn put those colorful gems called the elements of harmony back on their tree. These ponies were so foolish, thinking that they had defeated me so easily. Instead of defeating me, I would defeat them. As soon as they start walking away, then I would come out of the shadows and destroy the elements. It was taking a lot of my patience to not just destroy it now. Finally, they started walking away. Now was my chance. I grinned at the thought of how they would react. Then, I concentrated on crystals and destruction. I concentrated harder, and large black crystals shot out of the ground, destroying the tree and all six elements. The friendship ponies turned around and gasped upon seeing the destruction that I had caused. I revealed myself and laughed evilly. The Rainbow-maned one said, “What just happened?” The yellow one asked, “The elements of harmony can’t really be destroyed, can it?” The purple one said in shock, “It can’t be.” I told them, “But it is. You thought you defeated me. But instead, you led me right to the source of your power. Now that it’s destroyed, nothing can stop me.” I gave them my Sombra-is-the-best smirk. The alicorn tried to fix the smashed elements, but her efforts were vain. She finally admitted defeat by saying, “He’s right. With the elements gone. I don’t know how we can defeat him.” Rainbow-mane (I’ll call her that for now) confidently told her, “Then we’ll just have to beat him the old-fashioned way!” Rainbow-mane and the other ponies except for the alicorn ran towards me, looking ready for a good fight. But, I wouldn’t let them have it. As soon as they came extremely close, I concentrated hard and made crystal borders around them. They tried to break the crystal, but failed to make a single dent. I smirked and said, “You’re no match for me. I will finally rule the crystal empire.” I realized something and gasped. “Wait, with all of you out of the way, I will rule all of Equestria! And I know exactly what I’ll do first. Every king needs an army, and I am the king of all monsters. It’s a good thing that there are already some ponies volunteering.” Rainbow-mane yelled, “If you try anything, I’ll…I’ll…” I ask, “You’ll do what? Without your elements, you are completely powerless. And very easy to control.” Before another pony could say any more words, I quickly cast the mind controlling spell on them. I didn’t control the alicorn, because I wanted her to helplessly watch as I mercilessly kill Celestia and Luna. She would watch as I conquered and destroyed Equestria. As I take my rightful place as king and as her worst nightmare becomes true. I would break and fix her. And she would be mine. I had everything planned. I just needed to put my plan in action. I teleported the seven of us to a cave near Ponyville. I chained the purple mare’s neck and hooves and was about to go into the cave, when I heard voices. I turned into my shadow form and saw that there was a dragon, and five ponies. Without them knowing, I quietly went into the cave with the mind-controlled ponies. I heard the dragon ask, “Did you guys hear what happened in the Crystal Empire?” An orange maned one replied, “No. What happened in there?” The dragon answered, “King Sombra returned and tried to take back the Crystal Empire. But Twilight and the others stopped him before he could do any real damage.” A white filly said, “King Sombra tried to retake the Crystal Empire! That’s terrible! It’s a good thing that he was defeated. He’s such a meanie.” An orange filly said, “I know right? If I was there, then I would’ve asked Spitfire to make him go through a straw. Or whatever she was talking about when she tried to make me not join the washouts.” A blue stallion asked, “Spike, have you seen Rainbow dash anywhere today?” The dragon who’s name was probably Spike answered, “Rainbow dash? I haven’t seen her since I got back from the Crystal Empire. Why do you ask?” A yellow filly answered the dragon, “It’s obvious, isn’t it? He loves Rainbow.” The stallion’s cheeks turned bright red. He said, “I wouldn’t exactly call that love.” The white filly asked, “Then what would you call it?” The stallion answered, “Close friends.” Orange-mane said, “Oh come on, Soarin! We all know there’s something else going on between you and Rainbow so quit trying to hide it from us.” The stallion’s cheeks turned redder. The fillies sang, “Someponies in love. Someponies in love.” By that time, I had enough. I was unable to stop myself from laughing. I burst into laughter. But I was laughing so loud that I was heard. The ponies turned around and orange-filly stuttered, “K-K-King S-Sombra? W-W-What are you d-d-doing here?” I replied by casting the mind-controlling spell on them. I was about to go out of the cave with my small army and conquer Cloudsdale, when I realized something. To conquer Cloudsdale and other cities, I would need much more that puppets. I needed evil alicorns. Luckily, I knew a spell for that and used it on them. The fillies and mares became Celestia’s height and got armor that looked like Nightmare Moon’s. I turned the pegasi into Shadowbolts. I heard that they used to be Wonderbolts, so their flying skills would be very useful. I made some costumes for them and made them wear it. Everything was going smoothly. I ordered them, “Conquer Cloudsdale!” They ran off to execute my orders. While they conquered Cloudsdale, I would conquer Ponyville, and then take control of the Crystal Empire. That way, while I would sit on my throne and relax, Equestria would become mine. I pulled Twilight Sparkle with me and started walking towards Ponyville. It was only a 10-minute walk and I was there. As soon as ponies saw me, they ran in every direction. I laughed and said, “You can run, but you can’t hide!” I waited for them to think that they were safe, and then I cast the mind-controlling spell on them. I didn’t turn them into alicorns, because the number of ponies in there would be able to destroy an entire castle. I teleported me and my army to the Crystal Empire.
