A large wave of purple energy propelled its way toward Sombra. Surprised, Sombra barely had enough time to teleport to safety. In a flash, he appeared in front of the blast. Sombra noticed his guards starting to advance on the intruder. Sombra held up a hoof.
"No," his deep voice thundered through his throne room. "I will deal with this intruder myself." With that Sombra drew his own sword, a red blade with a black handle. "That is no mortal blade."
"Oh this?" replied Megatron. "This is the Dark Star Sabre. I crafted it myself using the Forge of Solus Prime."
"Who is this; Solus Prime?" asked Sombra.
"It would take too long to inform you of the legacy of the Primes. Besides, it's time for you to die."
"It will be you who is destroyed!" yelled Sombra. He charged his horn, and blasted a black bolt of energy towards Megatron. Megatron dodged to the right, and swung his blade, sending a wave of energy at Sombra. Sombra erected a spherical shield around himself, protecting him from the attack. He then teleported in front of Megatron, and swung his sword in an attempt to decapitate the former Cybertronian. Megatron blocked with his sword, and then jabbed at Sombra. Sombra dodged, reared back, and bucked Megatron's face, causing him to stagger back. Megatron put a hoof to his nose and wiped the blood from his nose.
"You'll pay for that!" yelled Megatron. He swung his sword towards Sombra's neck. Sombra moved to block, but found that nothing collided with his sword. This was because Megatron's attack was a fake out. He swung his blade at Sombra's leg, colliding with the armor on his leg. Sombra stepped back to look at his hoof. There was a cut in his armor and his leg. A small amount of blood pooled from the cut. Sombra teleported away from Megatron.
"You fool! I am the dark lord of the Crystal Empire!" declared Sombra.
"I am the original Dark Lord!" replied Megatron. Sombra shot a magic energy blast toward Megatron. In response, Megatron gave his wings a mighty flap, causing him to shoot up into the air. His body started glowing purple, and after a few seconds, a shock wave exploded from his body. The windows shattered, and the guards were blasted against the walls. Sombra was propelled towards his throne. Megatron glided down to the ground, a smirk on his face. Sombra slowly got up, and turned to face Megatron.
"Arg! I will kill you!" cried Sombra. Suddenly his horn glowed, and his body turned into black smoke, which shot towards Megatron. When the smoke hit Megatron, he was blasted back towards the door. He landed just outside the door. Sombra materialized just in front of Megatron, and drew his sword back, ready to strike Megatron. *Clang!* Sombra gasped as he saw Megatron sitting upright, using his two front hooves to catch the sword before it connected with Megatron.
"Impossible!" said Sombra. Megatron's eyes were closed. Then, Megatron's eyes opened. His eyes turned red, and the purple glow increased. His veins were visibly glowing purple, pure power eminating from his body.
"Arg!" cried Megatron. He threw Sombra's sword, and magically grabbed his own Dark Star Sabre. He slashed his sword at Sombra, cutting through the armor, making a cut in Sombra's neck. It bled, but was not deep enough to sever Sombra's jugular. Megatron struck Sombra with his right hoof, and then turned around and bucked Sombra in the chest, pushing him back. Megatron's fury continued as he slashed his Dark Star Sabre, sending a wave of energy at Sombra. Still distracted with his injuries, Sombra wasn't prepared for the attack. Sombra was blasted into the air about five feet, and then fell back onto the floor, landing on his right side. Megatron dashed forward, and stomped a hoof on Sombra's side.
"Hurg!" cried Sombra. He looked upward at Megatrons face. Megatron had an evil grin plasteed on his face as he held his sword to Sombra's throat.
"Any last words?" asked Megatron. Sombra's eyed glowed green, and his body evaporated, turning into black smoke. The smoke shot towards the thrown, and built up into a large mass of smoke. Sombra's head appeared, larger than a pony body.
"How do you like me now!" yelled Sombra. Megatron charged his horn, and shot a blast of magic at Sombra, only for it to pass strait through the smoke.
"What?!" yelled Megatron. He swung his Dark Star Sabre and sent a wave of energy at Sombra, but like the previous attack, it phazed right through. "You think this changes anything! I will not be defeated!" cried Megatron. Sombras horn glowed, firing a blast of magic at Megatron. Megatron teleported away form the blast, but he knew that with Sombra in this form, he would be unable to defeat him. 'I need a plan,' thought Megatron. Sombra shadow dashed toward Megatron, blasting him into the wall. Megatron felt his ribs crack as he fell to the ground. Sombra's mad cackling filled Megatrons ears. But it also filled him with something else. Something he knew quite well. RAGE. "ARG!" screamed Megatron. In a flash, he was back on his hooves. His eyes glowed red, and the purple eye mist grew in intensity. His body started to glow, and soon the whole room was filled with a blinding light. Everyone in the room had to shield their eyes from the light. After a few seconds, the light subsided. Sombra opened his eyes, and gazed upon something he'd never seen before. But Megatron knew what it was. It was a grey see through astral projection of Megatrons old body. Megatron observed his body of energy, and found that the titan body moved according to his will. 'My old body?'
"What...what is that!" cried Sombra.
"This...this is my TRUE form!" replied Megatron.
"What! Well, it doesn't matter! This fight ends now!" cried Sombra. His horn blasted a large blaast of energy at Megatron. Megatrons Cybertronian form raised its right arm, and a blast of energy left the cannon, colliding with Sombras blast. the two blasts met head on, and soon began fighting for dominance. "Rrr...you...you will lose!" cried Sombra, putting everything he had into the attack.
"I don't think so!" replied Megatron. His magic blast grew in intensity, and slowly started overpowering Sombra's blast.
"NO! This cannot be!" cried Sombra. Megatrons blast started to consume Sombras entire essence. "No! Nooooooooooooooooo!" cried Sombra as his smoky form was completely annilated. With the battle finished, Megatrons old body dissapeared, and he slowly lowered to the ground. He looked to his left and then his right. All the guards stood wide eyed as they gazed at the pony who had defeated their king. Megatron walked to the throne, and once he reached it, he stood facing away from the throne.
"Will anyone else attempt to follow in his shoes?" asked Megatron. One guard spoke up.
"What'd he say his name was?"
"Megatron," replied Megatron. Then all the guards began chanting.
"All hail Megatron!" They chanted it over, and over again, all the while a grin grew on his face. He won, he overthrew the king and now he was the leader of the Crystal Empire. And soon, he would rule the entire world.
