//------------------------------// // First Battle: King Sombra // Story: A Freezing Hero With a Warm Heart // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// The two growled and charged into battle with Sombra doing the same. They clashed their swords and started a sword fight. Kyle and Sombra were not backing down from this fight as they got a few lucky punches and slashes but Kyle wasn't affected by the slashes. They both dodged some attacks and parried each other's moves. This lasted for 40 minutes til Kyle got the upper hand and broke Sombra's sword in half and he fell to the ground. Kyle pointed his sword at him and gave him an angry look. But Sombra smirked as he got up and trying blasting some dark magic at Luke but he dodged by flying in the air and actived his ice gun and blasted him. It only got his foot but he couldn't move it. "Oh so you got ice powers huh? Well watch this!" Sombra said as he blasted some dark magic at him again but missed. Then he saw that is was heading for Fleur! He flew after the beam and froze it up. He grabbed it and smashed it before it reached her. "Thanks darling. Now go stop Sombra!" Fleur said. "I will! Stay put." Luke said as he flew back to fight Sombra alongside with Kyle. "Ok King Sombra. That really pisses me off! And for that your gonna die tonight!" Luke said. "I don't think so icehead. Now let's see what your scared of." Sombra said. He prepared to unleash a pair of green eyes to Luke til Kyle shocked him with purple lightning and he screamed in pain for an hour. Then he stopped and Sombra fell to the ground. But he wasn't stopping there. He tried blasting some dark magic at Kyle but he dodged with trapping it in purple balls turning them into his own lightning. After 20 minutes he got tried and blasted one more as Kyle caught it and threw them back at Sombra as he yelled and got shocked in pain. He growled at Kyle when the last one hit him. "Ok little boy. Enough games. I will take the land all the Crystal Ponies will be my slaves!! You can't stop me!" Sombra said. "You really haven't learned anything last time have you?" Kyle said. "Geez it's no wonder why you are bested by the light. Besides were just getting warmed up!" Luke said. Kyle conjured more purple lightning and zapped a barrier around him, Luke and Sombra trapping them. Luke then froze the barrier turning it into a purple crystal barrier. "Are you afraid to fight me yourself you cowardly snake!!" Sombra said. "A snake am I? Perhaps you like to see how snake like I can be!!" Kyle said. The medallion glowed again and it turned him into a vicious black and purple king cobra snake. He stared at Sombra and hissed at him. He tried to bite him but he dodged every chance Kyle got. They he used his tail and tried squeezing the life out of him. Sombra struggled as he coughed up some blood. Then Kyle let him go and prepared to fight him again. They threw a lot of punches at each other and they were bruised but still won't back down. Kyle zapped him with his purple lightning and fell down. Sombra got up and started feeling tired. "You...can't... stop me. Again." Sombra said. "Actually we just did. And I have two words to say. Freeze ray!!" Luke said. He blasted King Sombra with an ice beam and froze the shadow king. He then flew to the frozen Sombra statue and smashed it into pieces. The Crystal Ponies saw all that and cheered for the heroes stopping Sombra once more. "And he calls himself the king? Pathetic." Luke said. "Yeah. But well done Luke! We stopped King Sombra and the Crystal Empire is at peace once more!" Kyle said. Kyle and Luke hugged it out knowing that whenever there's evil causing trouble they will be there on the double. "Hey Luke. If you need any help I will have your back. Thanks again bud." Kyle said. "Anytime Kyle." Luke said. Then Twilight, Fleur and all her friends ran to Luke and Fleur hugged him. "Darling you were amazing!! Im so proud of you!" Fleur said. "Thanks Fleur. I wasn't going to let anyone hurt you." Luke said as he returned the hug. Later that night back in Manehattan Luke was asleep in his room. We cut back in his mind in the dream realm and once Luke got up he saw the first barrier shatter to pieces. Then the statues of Sombra turned into Luke statues. "Well done Luke. You completed your training and defeated the first guardian. You're on your way to reach the temple." Luna said. "Thanks Luna. But if Sombra was one of the guardians then who could the other four be?" Luke said. "That I can't tell you. You must continue your way to stop them. But I will give you advice. You find a pony has a heart of evil or corrupted by greed then that is a guardian that has to be defeated." Luna said. "Ok Luna. Thanks for the advice." Luke said. She then disappeared and Luke saw the temple on the top of that staircase. He knew Fleur is in there and won't rest until he frees her. "Fleur if you're hearing this I took one guardian down with some help and will beat the others til I get to you my darling!" Luke said as he rested his head on the snow and we cut back to the real world where it was still night time. But Luke still has a long journey ahead in the dream realm.
