S03E02 The Crystal Empire Part 2

The moment Twilight reached the top of the tower where Cadance and Shining Armor waited (which didn't take very long, since she was able to simply teleport there), Cadance's magic faltered and failed, letting Sombra's dark shadow enter the gleaming city.

"The Empire is under attack!" Shining Armor yelled.

"I know, I know." Twilight looked down at Cadance. "How is she?"

"Not good." The pained look on his face was pitiful.

Twilight restored her sister in law to perfect health with a simple zap of magic. Unfortunately, Sombra was already inside the dome, making it useless.

"We have to find the Crystal Heart," Cadance said, looking out over the city, at the devastation Sombra was wreaking below. "Only that has the magic that will keep him at bay."

Twilight nodded. First, a simple combination of a locator spell and a teleport spell. A flash, and she was right there next to the heart. Sombra's long-laid trap fired and teleported her right back out again, but now she knew where it was. All she would have to do was overpower it.

She blasted the castle with a small portion of her magical energy, burning a hole straight through from the balcony below to the secret chamber holding the heart. As it slid down the smoking new tunnel right into Cadance's hooves, Twilight allowed herself a small grin. "Okay. You get the Crystal Heart installed. I have a thousand year old king to disintegrate."

Twilight looked out over the rim of the balcony and easily spotted Sombra's location. Teleporting in front of him was a cinch. Blasting him out of existence was even easier; all she needed to do was focus a portion of her power on him.

As he dissolved into quickly dissipating smoke, Twilight grinned. The hard part had been making sure she didn't use too much power and cause collateral damage.
