Redemption of a Monster

Damnation (Alternate Ending)

Damnation

The fell mace onto Blueblood's skull with a sickening crack that rang throughout the garden. Celestia stood dumbfounded at this, Sombra was slowly become the monster he once was. The purple mist began to seep from his eyes. Slow at first but as he turned toward Celestia the mist swirled faster.
"Sombra? Why?"

"Why? That whelp called you a whore! I made him suffer. Now every thing is meant to be." The malicious smile grew wide.
"My Sombra couldn't do such a thing!" Celestia screamed back at the beast. Her eye never left his own. The blood red eyes were the same when he was in power over the Crystal Empire. "My sweet prince please come back to me."

"I am no longer a prince! I am King Sombra!" He roared back. By now a massive crowd formed around them at thirty feet. "But that doesn't change how I feel about you. Become my queen, I will give you everything you could ever want or need. I will take care of you."

"No."

"No?"

"No, I will not become you queen. You are an unfit ruler. You are not the Sombra I fell in love with!" Celestia screamed back. Sombra's face twisted into a scowl like the words just hit him in his gut. The mace slithered back into Sombra where it belonged.

"Then you don't love me?"

"I love Prince Sombra!"

"You have forced my hand in this then Celestia." As he finished speaking red lighting shot from his finger tips. Sombra smiled as he forced his corruption into Celestia's form, in minutes she would be perfect.

Celestia screamed in agony as she felt King Sombra's essence pour into her heart. King Sombra smiled as Celestia writhed on the floor. She felt his pain, all of his pain. From the moment the shade gave him his powers to when the Crystal Heart blew him up. His wicked grin grew even larger once he saw the mist begin to flow from her eyes.

"You will become my QUEEN! Whether you want to or not!" King Sombra laughed. "All of Hell is nothing compared to this!"

The lighting stopped. King Sombra held out his hand to the fallen princess, the crowd began to shout curses at Sombra as he finished his spell. Celestia reached out towards his hand.

"Thus begins the reign of King Sombra, the dark lord, and Queen Celestia, mistress of darkness!" King Sombra gloated in his victory. Celestia stood at his side, her eyes complete green with the purple mist gently flowing from her eyes. The crowd was shook visibly as their once loving princess became a like Sombra.

"Subjects do not fear! This is a day of rejoicing, I now understand what must be done from now to our glorious future!" Celestia called to the masses before her. The entire group along with the mane six and their husbands couldn't doing anything about this whole situation. Many simply stared in fear at this new development. "Equestria enters a new golden age as I Celestia shall take the hand of King Sombra as his wife. We will lead you into the next phase of this kingdom!"

Some cheered while many stay silent, Blueblood's body began to light aflame in front of the masses. King Sombra's grin dropped as he now saw the Elements bearers, his eyes darkened with hatred for them taking away his empire. But in the end they lead him to an even greater conquest of land, he had uses for them.

"Elements of Harmony! Come forth and knell to your new master! I shall make you into grand generals of my legions. Accept my offer and conquer in my name ans I shall forgive you of all past actions against me." None knelled to him. His anger grew as did his power. Red lighting shot forwards to break all in his way to subjects known as the mane six. Rarity was hit first twisting her form in a more dangerous look with beauty mixed in. Applejack twisted and crumpled to the floor with an loud thump, when she arose her form was covered with ebony armor. Sombra laughed wildly as their friends sped away from the group. No doubt they would regrouping in hopes to fight against his reign.

"Sombra! Beast of the North we place you under arrest!" Luna cried out from the crowd. Sombra could see her moving through the crowd with determination well written in her face.

"I am going to give you one chance little one, join or I'll will kill you." Sombra hissed back.

"Little? I have two thousand years of magical power and you think I'm little?! Your arrogance will get you killed this day." Luna spat her retort.

Sombra only smiled at her. What she didn't know was he was already using his vile magic to sneak behind with a copy standing in his original place. Now behind Luna Sombra gave a hard kick to the back of her knees. When her head came to attention she was met by a fist.

"No matter what little Luna I will be stronger than you." King Sombra mocked as he circled Luna with a mixture of rage and joy.

"You are mad... Like when I banished you from this land... you will be weak so long as you hold onto such a petty thing like revenge." Luna shot back as she stood. Again to be met with a fist in her face.

"Shut up worm! I am the future for this world! I wonder if your sister loved you when you became the monster after I fell? What was it like to be cursed and feared, did you curse her? Did you ever once think you would kill everypony without the sun? Who's really the monster here?" Sombra's foot came down on Luna's fingers, her yelp was loud enough to allow everypony present hear. The mace that once vanished flowed into Sombra's hand once more. "If you defeat me I will return everything back the way it was, if I win... I'll skin you alive."

Luna pushed herself off the ground with a staff in her hands. Wicked blades on both sides of the poll. "Then I shall beat you for the good of these ponies!"

The staff shattered against the mace's might. Luna stared in shock, to be met with a knee to her stomach. Sombra descended upon her with his fists bashing away her light armor with ease. Luna kicked back refusing to be beaten.

Sombra fell upon a concrete pike one of the statues held, impaling him. The crowd gasped as the dark blue blood rolled away from Sombra, smoke rising where the blood made contact with any surface. His eyes shut due to this annoyance. With rage flowing in his veins faster, the pike burned to molten rock. The molten rock sizzled on Sombra's form as he lifted himself off the landing zone. With a scoop, Sombra sent the immensely hot substance towards Luna with vigor. She couldn't move fast enough. The molten substance smacked her on the left side of her face. Her screams were ear drum shattering as the pain set in.

"Oh poor little Luna, once one of the two immortal goddesses, now proven to be mortal after all!" Sombra shouted over the screams. While Luna used her magic to heal her wound she had no time to block the next attack. The sword known as "Soul Ripper" ripped through her chest as Sombra began to lift her off the ground to the crowd. The blade slipped out causing Luna to fall flat on the dirt. Her life flashed before her as she saw the wrong she did to make the monster that stalked her with a gleam of madness deep in his eyes. The end was coming and she couldn't stop it.

"The Bearers of the Elements will stop you."

"Only if they wish to meet the same end you have." The sword came down.
