Dark Ascent

Sombra's Return

"Yes, the first core. I have looked everywhere for you!" Darkblithe approached the core, a strange aura emanating from him and the core both. Almost as if he was resonating with it. He reached a hoof out, touching the core. Upon contact, the core glows dimly, giving off an eerie feel. "Now, let's see what you can do... Give me Sombra!"

The core rose into the air, the light dimming more and more. Finally, in a blast of light, the darkness is expelled, taking form into Sombra. His eyes open, taking a look around before resting on Darkblithe. "Who are you? Are you here to enlist my power or are you here to-"

Sombra is quickly silenced by a quick movement from Darkblithe. "You will follow me to the altar. There, you will take this core and we'll fuse you with it. From there, you will get your first assignment."

"I'm afraid you don't know who I am, little boy. I am King Sombra."

"And I'm afraid you don't know who I am, prince. I am Darkblithe. You've heard the name, no?"

"I have not heard the name. Are you supposed to be someone?"

"I'm your master." Darkblithe holds Sombra to the wall. "Unless you want to lose a hoof, you'll do what I say."

"Little boy, you don't hold power over me. I'm going to kill you, then destroy the elements of harmony for good."

Darkblithe's horn glows. A devious smile forms at his mouth. "Are you now? I don't know what these 'elements of harmony' are, but, I can assure you I am stronger than them."

Sombra pushes Darkblithe away, wiping away at himself. "Please, you're the common rabble. Claiming to be more powerful than the elements. If you are stronger, prove it."

Darkblithe smirks. His mouth opens as a single word escapes. "Gladly."

Darkblithe charges at Sombra, hitting his foreleg and shattering the whole length of it. Sombra cries out in agonizing pain. He fell over with his right foreleg piling like a noodle.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Sombra screamed in pain.

"I gave you a little taste of my power. Can these "Elements of Harmony" do this?"

"N-NO!"

"Exactly. Now get up!"

Sombra lies on the ground, writhing in pain.

"I SAID GET UP! YOU'LL WALK TO THE PEDESTAL IN EVERFREE AND THERE YOU'LL BE FUSED WITH THIS CORE! GET GOING!"

Sombra solemnly stands up on three hooves, with his right foreleg dangling uselessly.
