Fates hand

John void, the Stagemaster. Crystal empire final part.

"Alright you dark matter abomination. You hurt my brother, and for that. You. Will. PAY!" John yelled in pure rage as he blitzed towards sombra and slammed the tyrants head into the ground knocking the false king out of his shadow form.

"Zero. You WILL leave this vessel and fight me one on one, and before you can think of anything? Well, to quote a demon judge, since when were you the one in control." ... John then used his strings and..... reaches into Sombra's soul.... why didn't I think of that?

"KEHEHEHEHEHEHE ZERO~ TODAY YOU DIE!!!"..... and we thought I was the crazy one, John used the strings to physically pull Zero out of Sombra's body.... as he did, Sombra's body lost its dark colour as he now looked like an average crystal pony, albeit alot older and with a blue curved horn.

When Zero was removed from his host, the crystal ponies immediately saw the horror show that is Zero, also, I can now confirm Zero is Zero Two, I mean it makes sense, Kirby obviously beat him, anyways, I'm getting off track, John jumped at the abomination of the matter most dark and...... punched it in the bloody eye.... of course he did.... might as well help a little.

With those thoughts given by me, I used a form of telepathy to communicate with Twilight sparkle.

"Oh, where is it?! He said to look above the king's domain, and WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!?" Twilight yelled in shock.

'to look up, you must look down, basically use dark magic on the throne, this isn't technically the king's domain now is it? And, for that monstrosity, me and stage will deal with it, just worry about the crystal heart ok sweet heart?'

"Wh- how are you talking to me, and how do you know what to do?" Twilight spoke now a little more calm.

'For the first question? Telepathy. For the second? I used logical thinking, sombra is a smart pony, he wouldn't just give a strait path to the one thing that can defeat him, also, extra info, that thing out there, is Zero, he is the leader of a species known as dark matter, they posses other creatures to spread their evil and dark influence, now go! We don't have all day!'

"R-right, going now." Twilight spoke as she used her magic on the throne and opening the stairway like in canon, I'd better warn her about the door, I can just tell her I can feel the dark magic in it.

'hey, there's a door down there, it's infected with dark magic, I have a feeling the door will try to stop you by showing your greatest fear, don't ask how I know, let's just say I have experience with this sort of thing.'

"Right, thanks for warning me, I'll fix the door then get the heart." Twilight spoke.

'don't forget to bring spike with you, it isn't really safe out here right now, seriously, I'm surprised stage hasn't been hit yet, then again he is pretty pissed off at the damned thing.'

"Huh? Why is he mad? And thanks for the warning. SPIKE!!" Twilight asked, yelled, and answered all in the same sentence.

A few seconds later and the little dragon runs in and the two start on their way down the staircase, I do believe I've helped enough, back to John I guess.

When I set my 'sights' back to what John sees, I can honestly say that I'm not surprised to find us back into the snow storm outside the empire as John.....relentlessly rips apart Zero's flesh getting coated in dark matter blood.....

"KEHEHEHEHAHAHA~ RUN RUN RUN YOU DAMNED FREAK, SOON YOUR DOOM YOU WILL MEET!!"...... ok, John, first of all, calm the f#ck down, second of all, we only got a few minutes left, you can lead him to the empire now.

"....ok... ok, I'm calm now, thanks for letting me know. HEY ZERO! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!"John yelled getting the attention of zero as he ran away towards the empire while taunting the dark matter monstrosity.

"Hehe, who knew running from an Eldredge eyeball could be this much fu-WOAH!!" John shouted as he dodged a blood bomb and entered the empire with zero just behind him, right after they entered the empire, me and John noticed spike falling from the top of the empire with the crystal heart in hand... brother, you distract Zero and narrate while I inform the locals of the hearts return. huh? Oh, alright, I got it.

As I felt Null focus his mental presence to the entire empire, I turned around and summoned a mini blaster on my back to blitz towards zero and grab him by the tail before slamming him to the ground before summoning an undyne spear and turning his soul green so he can't run away.

"So, what will you do now? You can't run, the crystal heart is about to be put back into its place, and your about to be destroyed. It's not lookin' good for you." I spoke with a smug grin, my grin quickly left when I heard what he said.

"Fool.....galeem....will end.....all....I.....still...win..." Galeem? Sh!t... well, now I really do have a reason to train them.... I thought as I heard cadence's speech and saw the ground glow in positivity, already damaging zero.

"If Kirby and his friends could defeat galeem once, then I'm sure I can with some major help, that being said.... goodbye you waste of space." I spoke as the light of the love of the crystal ponies got absorbed by the crystal heart and sent out the positivity pulse/forcefield destroying Zero but not before he could give one last message.

"All.....will.......end.....in......a..... year's......time..." Zero spoke just before getting obliterated by the positive energy of the crystal heart.... oh hey, I look like I'm made of crystal now, I should head over to the main six.

I thought about what zero said as I walked towards the crystal castle, I'm going to need to teach the ponies how to fight.... I guess project EggKoopa empire will be more than a test... good, I'll also need to talk to celestia about this, and I do hope she doesn't even consider using the elements, they won't work on galeem, I mean, why would light hurt light?

"Stage?" A voice brought me out of my train of thought, when I looked to where the voice came from, I saw Fluttershy come over to me.

"Yes, Kindness? What do you need?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Are you ok? I saw you fighting that scary thing, what even was it?" Fluttershy asked as her friends walked over and asked similar questions with varying levels of concern for my well being.

"Its name is Zero, he is the leader of a species called the Dark matters, they are a species composed of pure darkness and negativity, basically the physical embodiments of evil, they often use another creatures body to hide in and use as a puppet, I defeated sombra and, well you saw what happened, apparently sombra was Zero all along." I spoke getting a shocked look from the ponies before pinkie put her hoof under her chin.

"Wait. How would you know who or what Zero was?" Pinkie asked with a silly yet thoughtful expression.

"The internet." I simply answered getting a nod and a gasp from pinkie as the others just looked at us with confusion.

"Don't ask, I just answered with the honest truth, the internet is something from my world, basically a book but digital, like the arcades you ponies sometimes have around here." I spoke as they gave a slow nod of acceptance.

"....this was very anticlimactic, right?" I asked as the ponies looked at me with an expression of 'are you serious?'

"Oh, fine, welp, I've done everything that is needed of me here so.... bye!" I shouted before using a warp gate to get back to base where I dropped my care free expression.

"Galeem huh? I wonder how we will beat him..."
