It was a cold and dark night, ponies-turned-statue all over the place. Yet the sky was surprisingly lighter than expected, as a purple and black comet were rushing across the winds to a nearby castle that looked exactly like Antasma's. Every detail was correct, from the look of the castle, to it's actual exterior colours, it was even the same height off of the ground as Antasma's real fortress. Little did Twilight and Sombra know that they were rushing straight into a trap.
"Be careful, Sombra." Twilight said as they landed on the throne room balcony, "Antasma might have been setting traps all around us. I'll just check with a spell just to be safe."
She started conjuring up quite a powerful spell. As her aura intensified, it sent out a purple shockwave, one which scanned the room for any and all booby-traps, only to surprise Twilight that there weren't any.
All that she saw once looking inside the magnificent throne was a caged Celestia, and Antasma The Bat King sitting on his throne, not paying any attention to Twilight and Sombra's appearance.
"Psst, Princess." Twilight whispered to her, "We're gonna get you outta here, but we gotta move fast."
"Actually, Twilight, i don't want to leave." She said with a sly grin on her face, "Antasma here is a very nice man. He even taught me about the Human World for once."
"He's obviously employed some kinda mind-control spell on you." Twilight said once more, "I've got this."
As she fired an aura blast from her horn, she and Sombra were surprised beyond belief to notice that the spell had completely gone through Celestia and hit a wall behind her.
"Celestia? Is this some kind of practical joke?" Sombra asked as they came closer and closer to the cage.
"It's no joke, my friends." She had an even more sly and smug voice than usual, "Come to the lock, and walk me out. I sprained my ankles and wings."
They both shared confused glances, but still did as they were told, flying up to the lock and breaking it into a million tiny pieces with their high level magics. Antasma still hadn't noticed yet, but Celestia was being walked out of the cage. But to their surprise, Twilight and Sombra could not even touch her, as if she was some kind of hologram.
"OK, stop playing around, princess. We gotta go!" Twilight shouted, still miraculously not grabbing Antasma's attention.
"Yes, I will go, but you two are staying right here!" Celestia's voice suddenly changed to a man's voice as her hologram dissapeared. After the fake had vanished, the cage resealed itself, and the whole castle vanished from the night sky. The entire fake structure was being pulled into a massive black staff.
"The castle's collapsing!" Twilight said as she tried to activate a spell, to her disarray the spell immediately fizzled out on her. Sombra tried spell casting now, only to have the same result. Then it hit them. Celestia's fake voice, the way she didn't want to leave, and Antasma's complete and utter ignorance. THIS CASTLE THEY WERE IN WAS FAKE!!!!
As the fake Antasma vanished from their eyes, Twilight, Sombra, and the whole fake castle vanished completely into a little black orb on top of a long dark magical flow.
"That oughta keep them busy." Lieria said after the ball sealed itself, "I caught the fiendish ones! When Lord Antasma sees this, it's gonna be.... promotion city!" He said laughing, until he was swallowed up by a black-hole-like teleporter, a lot similar to those used by Organization XIII
