//------------------------------// // Family Feud // Story: Another Bed Time Story // by Stonemonarch //------------------------------// For a moment it was just pure tension, the only thing heard was screams of civilians and the buzzing of over a thousand changelings. Onyx looked at Nomina and let out a deep breath, then he looked to his father. "Onyx, what are you doing in this territory of the Crystal Swine!?" yelled King Sombra, Onyx didn't answer he stood there in fear , he was afraid of his father at this state, his fathers mane was like a black flame, the purple aura had acted more as a weapon then a cosmetic. He was either in for the fight for his life or the beating from the underworld. "Grrrrraaaa!!! Changelings attack the swine princess!!!" A pack of changelings buzzed and leaped towards Nomina, Nomina screeched, Onyx couldn't react fast enough, but a flash of blue met his eye. It was Shining Armor, he had struck the changelings down before they could reach his daughter. "Dad!" Shining Armor took Nomina's hoof and ran back down the streets, Onyx turned around to see but in an instant changelings have tackled him into a dog pile. Shining Armor ran with Nomina on his hoof for a few miles until she stopped him and shoved him off. "Nomina what are you doin-" "No dad! Onyx is stuck back there under all those changelings, I can't just stand here and do nothing while the one I love is getting beaten by changelings, and if you don't want to follow me then don't, I can do this on my own because I love Onyx dad." With that Nomina ran back to the streets, Shining Armor was puzzled by his daughters show of care, courageousness, and heart. Although he ran the direction he was going. The changelings kept piling on top of Onyx, the weight got heavier, and the force got even greater. Onyx was near to suffocating with his screams of agony, until his eyes flashed a sudden green. The clouds in the sky turned black, purple strikes of lightning were striking the land, all hell had broke loose around the Dark Mountains. At the peak King Sombra stood harnessing all of the darkness from the sky, from the land, and from the surrounding areas. He was power hungry, he craved power, he would kill for power. Behind him stood a tall mare, she had a long dark purple mane, her eyes were a light comforting green, hugging her leg was a little filly. "Those Crystal Swine think they bested me with the Crystal Heart, no matter I will get back at them, from the help of my son, he will be the next ruler of all evil, he will be the next King Sombra, he will be the next dictator of Equestria!!!" and with that statement King Sombra began to harness all power, energy, and darkness. King Sombra suddenly let all the power rush to his head, the darkness over took him, he became more evil then he ever was until Queen Sorcia ran away with the foal in her arms, down the mountain and towards the Dark Woods, to a familiar forest clearing. Once she heard the sudden roar she knew she had to protect the foal. "Mommy whats happening?" the filly was in tears but Sorcia calmed him down. "Nothing honey all you need to do is hide, but for now I want you to have something." She pressed her horn against him a bright light of white flashed. The light reached the filly's heart and gave him feeling, emotion, and a heart of pure gold instead of black, the filly eventually became drowsy and fell asleep. Sorcia picked up the filly and laid it in the softest patch of grass. She heard trees falling behind her, it was King Sombra, he was more fueled with darkness and power then he ever was. "Bring me my son, Sorcia!" Sorcia shook her head and stood proud. "I am not letting you poison our son Sombra, he needs to live a life of purity, not gloom and doom like yours is!" Sorcia stood in little fear of King Sombra approaching her, King Sombra's eyes had turned a crimson evil red. He had lost his heart and mind. "Move now." said King Sombra in the most haunting of voices. "No." stated Sorcia,the filly awoke and looked up, a sudden flash of lightning, the filly shielded its eyes, Sorcia stood there until King Sombra lifted his body up and slashed down with his horn onto Sorcia, killing her, he didn't even know he had done it. King Sombra let out a few breaths, inhaling angrily and exhaling with rage, until he realized what he had done. King Sombra's eyes returned to normal and he saw his wife lay dead in a pool of blood, that he had spilled. His eyes filled with tears, it began to rain and then he noticed the filly. The filly was adjusting its eyes until he saw his mother, he started crying, the filly ran to his mother and cried long and hard, until Sombra came up and hugged it gently. King Sombra thought long and hard and realized it was his fault, but was to proud to admit it, he blamed everything on the Crystal Empire, they drove him to hatred and destruction, they drove him to killing his wife, they drove him to creating the new king of darkness. He looked at the filly, he still had his evil intentions, the darkness did not leave. Onyx opened his eyes and let out the biggest burst of dark energy and every changeling that was on him flew back. His father stood at the end of the street astonished. "There's the darkness being harnessed, now join me son and we shall bring the Crystal Empire to its knees." King Sombra laughed evilly until Onyx rammed his father in the gut with his head, knocking the wind out of him. "This time you listen to me." Onyx stood proud and powerful but in control. "Changelings attack once more!!!" Changelings all jumped into the sky and lunged for an attack until Nomina slammed into all of them, Shining Armor slamming into another group. "Dad?" said Nomina. "I can't let my girl fight a battle alone." Nomina smiled and fought the changelings with her father. King Sombra lunged at his son until Onyx rammed his hoof into his father's stomach causing him to fly back into a crystal tree. Onyx walked up to his father, towering over him with rage in his eyes. "Remember the night mom died, you told me it was a lightning strike, but no dad it was you! You killed mom because you let the darkness overtake you, you couldn't control it!" Onyx became harsh and angry, filled with rage. He lifted his body up and launched his horn forwards, Sombra flinched and shielded his face, but he wasn't dead, the horn was pressed against his head, suddenly a burst of light had exploded from Onyx's horn, he released a burst of emotion into his father, King Sombra yelled in agony of emotion touching his heart, emotion was light, light was bad for darkness, King Sombra's heart was being overcome by light. Onyx lifted his horn and looked at his father. His fathers eyes were no longer dark and hazy, they were purple and white like any normal stallion. King Sombra adjusted and looked at his son. "Son?" Onyx looked at his father and reached out his hoof to him. "Dad." Onyx pulled his father up and they hugged tightly, Onyx wanted this type of emotion from his father, King Sombra for once gave every emotion to his son. Nomina and Shining Armor came from behind them, Nomina ran to Onyx and wrap her hooves around his neck, Onyx hugged her tightly, that was until Nomina pulled back and kissed Onyx deeply. Onyx's eyes burst wide open and was caught by surprise. "W-what was that for?" Onyx asked. Nomina blushed hard and looked at him. "I didn't want to lose you." Onyx looked at her and laughed, she did have the same feelings for him as he did her. "Prince Shining Armor." King Sombra looked at Shining Armor. "King Sombra." Shining Armor looked back. Shining Armor nodded and King Sombra followed. "Where are you two going?" Shining Armor laughed and so did Sombra. "Some one needs to clean up the changelings. Nomina and Onyx looked at each other and laughed. 10 years later. Forest Clearing A group of ponies were standing in a circle, Onyx fully grown now king of the New Empire, a collision of the Crystal Empire and Shrouded Mountains. Next to him was a fully grown Nomina, in her arms was a small foal, black body, silver pink hair. In the middle were two graves. 1st grave: King Sombra 2nd grave: Queen Sorcia
