//------------------------------// // I do what I can, where I am, with what I have... // Story: Livin' The Dream. // by The Joeker //------------------------------// As I sat alone in the train carriage I played some music to keep me company. "On the floors of Tokyo..." I mumbled. I also started to wonder what this 'Crystal Empire' place would be like, nice? probably, everything here is 'nice' especially Princess Celestia... Goddamnit! no! she's a fucking pony for crying out loud! Although part of my mind was saying it doesn't matter... No time for that now, I've gotta help Twilight, and Celestia didn't object to me saying I'd help... even though she told Twilight she had to be the one to assist... ah fuck it. The train came to a stop and I disembarked, what I had expected to see was trampled by what I actually saw, a tundra, and I saw a shield in the distance. To put a long story short I arrived at the shield about 10 minutes later, and I saw a shadow following me and I turned to face it. "Bring it on." I said and jumped in the sky, front flipping toward him, I was engulfed in shadow and turned night vision on, I slashed this 'King Sombra I apparently knew so much about.' and cut his horn off as the shield opened for a second. I then back flipped off of him, kicking his muzzle as I landed within the shield, he scowled at me and shrunk back within his shadow. I headed into town and saw the 'crystal ponies' enjoying themselves, so I headed to the throne room. I was stopped by guards outside and I just wall ran past them, I opened the doors and an exhausted Princess was about to fall when I rushed forward and caught her. "Woah there Highness, careful where you make your bed and how you lie in it." I said to the fainting Pink Princess. "Who are you?" she asked weakly. "I am Project Ezekiel, your highness, here to assist you." I smiled. "Hands off my wife fiend!" came a more masculine voice, I looked up at a white stallion. "Your wife fainted and I caught her, I don't intend to do anything with her." I rolled my eyes. "Oh, you're the hoo-man Twilly keeps going on about!" he says in a 'duh!' voice. "Aye, that I am." I said. "I'll get her to bed, come on Cadence." he said. I waited for a bit before Twilight ran in. "Baz!" she exclaimed and wrapped me in a hug, which surprised me. "Hey kid." I smiled. "I'm looking for an artifact, the Crystal Heart!" she said. "This throne looks remarkably similar to the one Celestia used the spell on to show you." I pointed out, her jaw dropped. "This isn't King Sombra's castle." said Twilight in realisation. "Well, isn't this where he lived when he was in power?" "It is, but it didn't look like this." she said and cast a spell to reveal a staircase. "That was cool." I said. "That was a little trick Celestia taught me." Spike looked down the hole and gulped. "Welp, lets go." I said, before Twilight could repel my efforts, I jumped down the middle hole, my cybernetic legs protecting me from fall damage. "You stay here." she said to Spike. "Huh, if you insist." he said. "Spike?" "Yeah?" "Can you see outside?" "Yesss... Crystalsss..." said Sombra, wondering what that thing was that pounced on him, it had darkness in it, and that could be exploited. He laughed menacingly. "It's not good! Cadance's magic must be fading faster than before!" he shouted. "Ugh! Ow!" said Twilight as she tripped. "Twilight? Are you okay?" he asked "Yes..." she said and righted herself with a spell. "About time." I smiled behind my visor and she rolled her eyes and tried to get through a door before it teleported. "What in the... stop... moving!" she said and managed to stop the door with a spell, to my amusement. "What have we here..." I said and looked into the door... I felt it sort of... enclose on my mind... Suddenly I felt as if I awoke... I saw... a figure... forcing itself on Celestia... "What are you doing? stop!" she sounded terrified, I went to help but a barrier stopped me. "You love it really? don't you?" the other figure asked as it kissed and bit her neck forcefully, I went out the room and saw... oh my god... All the ponies... dead, the 6 mares... Rarity was... skinned... alive by the looks of a struggle... Fluttershy had a slit throat, wings cut off... AJ was smashed up, by a massive force by the looks of it... Pinkie was cut open and stuffed with confetti and candy floss, her entrails next to her, replaced by confectionaries. Twilight was pinned by my sword beside the door to the Princesses chambers, obviously the last 'obstacle' between the thing and Celestia and he was using her as a sword holder... I saw Luna tied up in the room, made to watch him... violate her sister... Rainbow was smashed into a wall, her spine broken, barely alive... Alive! I ran over and turned her over, to see her. "Rainbow! are you ok? my god, what happened?" I asked. She suddenly tried to get away. "It's... me..." I trailed off as I reached for her, and noticed my blood stained hands... The sword in the wall... The method of force... The figure was bipedal... I collapsed as I saw me... it was me... what had I done? "Not again... not again... no no no no..." I buried my visored head in my hands. I had a vision of me killing the guards... (imagine ponies with magic instead of soldiers with guns.) I went back in the room and was absorbed into the figure's point of view, as he kissed Celestia's stomach, he then smiled at a struggling Luna as he planted kisses on her sister, who was crying now. "Not like this! where is Twilight? oh Sun... oh please no..." cried Celestia, as she realised Twilight was dead, and she was about to have her virginity taken... forcefully... Luna was now starting to cry as well also recognising both these facts. "Don't worry Luna, you're next." he said in a completely dark voice, kissing back up Celestia's body then a booming voice sounded. "Ezekiel! when you've had your 'fun' join me in the throne room!" Sombra... "I'll be a while master... lets get this party started..." smiled wickedly at the whimpering Princess and used some kind of dark magic to close and seal the door as he straddled her...
