The Last Human (Book 1)

by Lady Maria


A shard of darkness (Edited)

Xavier observed the mayhem caused by the moon's sudden explosion across the planet. Asteroids from it had crashed into a few major cities around the world, killing a few million Griffins, Ponies, Minotaurs, and some other races. Xavier sat at his computer watching the panic and destruction he had caused. He was pleased to see so much chaos and disorder among a planet of fiends that helped drive his people to extinction. If all went to plan, the world will be at war in a matter of days...

"Isn't this amazing Daren?" Xavier asked, gesturing to the monitors and holographic screens projecting the death, destruction, and complete disorder of the world before them.

"Y-yeah..." Discord said, as he was practically speechless at the sight. Discord was the lord and god of Chaos and yet not even he could cause this much mayhem and disorder. To him it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen… And also the most terrifying.

"Just wait in a matter of days the whole world will be at war with itself. This planet will be weak and all we have to do is get them all in one place, using the Hellbringer, to wipe them all out!" Xavier said,chuckling at the thought, "I’m going back to the lab with some drones and a handful of changelings to retrieve some things that I left." He warped to the hanger where most of the Changelings were.

Discord sighed and looked at Chrysalis with a worried look on his face, "What have we gotten ourselves into?" Discord asked, as Queen Chrysalis was thinking the same exact thing.


Xavier ushered a handful of changelings into a small carrier ship and had a drone pilot it. He snapped his fingers, making a custom spaceship appear.

(Xavier's battle spaceship.)

Xavier activated the ship by flipping some switches and pushing several buttons. The ship powered on as he took the joystick-like controller. He pulled back on it, making the ship take off the ground. Directing the ship down the hole, and out of the Hellbringer, he flew north, quickly catching up with the carrier ship. He looked over, signaling to the drone, which responded in a series of other signals, saying that he was about to jump to mach one. Xavier gave him the thumbs up as he then switched to mach one at the same time. Both of the ships created a hellish sonic boom, leaving behind a black and dark, sickly green ring of light. Xavier's head slammed back against the headrest as he sat there traveling at the speed of sound for about a minute before stopping right over the lab.

The carrier ship stopped right next to him, and then started to lower down to the ground. Xavier followed suit. As soon as the two spaceships landed, he got out and opened the two sides of the carrier ship, letting out several dizzy changelings.

"Come on, ya wimps! We don't have all fucking day!" Xavier hollered. He walked up to the giant hole in the Tundra and jumped in. He landed safely on the ground of the lowest floor thanks to his long fall boots. He walked out of the circular room as the Changelings buzzed down slowly.

Xavier turned several corners before finding the conference room. As he entered, he saw that the books that he had left were still there, but had been moved around. He raised an eyebrow as he walked over. He slowly collected all the books together. When he had all of the books, Xavier snapped his fingers, creating a small black cube. He then dropped the books over the top of the cube, which sucked them in immediately after they were let go. He then grabbed the black cube and turned it into a data chip, slipping it into the back of his helmet. When he turned around he came face to face with a dark grey unicorn with a curved horn and fancy, royal clothes.

"Hello there. Who are you?" Xavier asked. The unicorn king growled and snarled like a feral beast.

"I am King Sombra, former ruler of the Crystal Empire." He answered in a demonic tone.

"Oh, yes. I’ve read up on you before. I know everything about you. Everything from birth to the last record of you being blown up by a baby dragon." Xavier chuckled.

"And who do you think you are, Scum!?" King Sombra spat.

"I am Alpha 302-X7Z. But you can call me Xavier. That is my human name after all." Xavier said. He gave a small, goofy bow.

"Human? By the gods, you aren't human are you?" King Sombra asked. Xavier smiled and reverted to his original human form.

Xavier then took off his helmet to reveal his white eyes, long black hair and pale skin, "Oh I am more than just human, my friend." he chuckled.

"I have been here for one thousand years, and not once have I seen you." King Sombra said. Xavier's smile grew wider and more twisted.

"I was asleep for three thousand years. Then I was awoken recently by a group of scavenger guards. Because of them I can now walk this planet free and allowed to do whatever I please!” Xavier cackled eerily.

“Well that’s quite an achievement. what about the princess’s? They are a formidable obstacle for sure," Sombra said. Xavier burst out laughing like a maniac.

"Oh Sombra, my dear boy. I have killed hundreds of thousands of Alicorns with my bare hands. They pose no threat to me!" Xavier laughed.

"You're bluffing! No living being can achieve that kind of feat!" King Sombra said, only making Xavier's smile growing wider to the point where it stretched across his whole face, unnerving Sombra a bit.

"Oh, but Sombra, my dear boy! I will show you!" Xavier said. He placed his hands on each side of Sombra's head and showed him the seas of blood. Xavier was bathed in it while he slayed countless ponies and Alicorns. Sombra's eyes widened in fear, and he became speechless.

"W-what are you!?" he demanded, backing up. Xavier ended the memory.

"Me? I am simply a human who was granted the abilities that could rival the gods. Now, Sombra, I want to ask you something..." Xavier said as Sombra tried to regain his composure.

"What would that be?" King Sombra asked. Xavier chuckled.

"Come with me back to the Crystal Empire. Ally with Queen Chrysalis, Discord, and me and you can have your kingdom back along with all the ponies that live there! Join us and you will have the revenge you deserve!" Xavier said. Not hesitating, Sombra agreed.

"Where do I sign up?" Sombra asked, as he smiled wickedly.

Snapping his fingers, Xavier made a pen and parchment appear, "Right here!" he said, pointing on the dotted line.


Celestia and the others woke up. She rubbed her head as she went to sit up. Looking around, she noticed she was in a hospital. Looking around, she saw Luna was at her left and Cadence at the right; both sitting in bed. Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and the elements of harmony walked in. All of them had worry and sadness on their faces.

"Princess! Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

"I have a headache from being knocked out by a bunch of changelings, and then shipped here under these jerks." Celestia says.

"Princess did you see the moon?! It blew up! A lot of it became asteroids and pelted the planet! Who even has the power to do that!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Yes. And I saw what destroyed it. Xavier. He used the Hellbringer's main cannon to blow up the moon." Princess Celestia said. Everyone gasped.

"Okay! This guy has gone too far! Ah've seen a lot of villains in my days, but Xavier is the worst and most cruel of them all!" Apple Jack exclaimed throwing her hat onto the ground.

"What's more frightening is that they have made the Crystal Empire into a complete fortress in less then one day. I have never seen a city so advance before," Princess Celestia said, remembering the towering buildings and the drones continuously building and expanding the thing.

"That's impossible! There is no being who can create something that fast!" Rarity said. Princess Celestia cast a spell to show them the city.

(It looks something like this.)

"W-whoa..." Rainbow Dash said, as her jaw droped at the memory.

"That is a small human city. The ones I had to raid with Luna were bigger and beyond the bounds of any mortal imagination," Princess Celestia said, before closing her eyes. She sighed as she said, "We need to call upon the world's leaders. We must all form of alliances and defeat Xavier, Discord, and Chrysalis once more." She wrote a letter, then rolled it up and gave it to Twilight.

"What’s this?" Twilight asked.

"Its a letter. You need to give to one of my captains so they can make multiple copies of the letter. They must be sent to the world's leaders. This needs to be done!" Princess Celestia said, before laying her head back on her pillow. She coughed up a bit of blood.

"Don’t worry, Princess! We will not fail you!" Twilight said as she rushed out of the room. The others following suit.


Xavier had ushered all of the changelings back onto the carrier ship before telling Sombra to get in the secondary seat of his spaceship. Sombra obeyed and jumped in the back seat. The drone took off as Xavier ran back to his spaceship and jumped right into the cockpit.

"Okay, Sombra. Hold onto your ass! Shit is about to hit the fan!" Xavier said, as he activated his ship. It lifted off the ground, then turned South.

"What do you mean, ‘shit is about to hit the fan’?" Sombra asked. Xavier put seat belts on Sombra and himself.

"I mean this!" Xavier exclaimed as he flipped to match one, shooting South.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Sombra screamed. His head was forced back onto the headrest.

Xavier did several barrel rolls as he cheered, "YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!" He sped forth, the Hellbringer coming in sight. Xavier threw the ship out of the mach one. Now it was smooth cruising.

"N-never do that again!" Sombra said, rubbing his head. He then looked up to see the Hellbringer that was above the Crystal Empire. "W-what in the name of the gods is that?!" he shouted as he then saw the New Crystal Empire.

"That, Sombra, is the Hellbringer, hovering above the new and much improved Crystal Empire!" Xavier said proudly.

"This is the most breathtaking thing ever..." Sombra said, as he looked at the drones building up the main castle. A drone was carrying the Crystal Heart to the Hellbringer.

"THE CRYSTAL HEART!" Sombra exclaimed as he looked at the drone flying right next to Xavier's ship. Xavier then punched in a command to have the drone put the Crystal Heart into a tractor beam below his spaceship. The Crystal Heart appeared in his hand, and Sombra tried to snatch it from him.

"Hold up, Sombra. I wanted to scan this first," Xavier said. He made his suit familiar with the Crystal Heart, taking samples of its power and storing it in a small compartment. He pulled up into the Hellbringer, landed safely inside, then opened the cockpit. Je jumped out with the Crystal Heart in hand. Sombra followed after him.

"Where are we going?" Sombra demanded, as he looked around staring at the lights, and then at the drones working on the ship.

"Hold up Sombra. We'll be at where we need to be in a second," Xavier said as he grabbed onto Sombra's shoulder. Then he warped into the main control room. As Xavier and Sombra materialized, Discord and Chrysalis looked over.

"It’s about time you got back!" Chrysalis said, as she walked up to Xavier, "This nut has been annoying the shit out of me, and he won't stop!" Xavier looked at her in surprise.

"Hold up, Chrysalis dear. I have to do something first." Xavier said. He put the Crystal Heart in a generator. "Now, before we get to your little fight, let me introduce someone to you. Daren, Chrysalis, this is King Sombra..."
