Chapter 9

3rd Person

"Who is this Sombra you speak of?" The Puppet asked tilting his mask to the side. He did feel a strange surge of magic similar to his own, but not as powerful. If anything he should be easily able to kill or stop this Sombra. So why were they so worried?

Everypony looked terrified of what Celestia just said, but Rainbow looked unsure of what she said. "Are you sure this is Sombra? I mean didn't the Crystal Heart destroy him or something? Are sure it's him and not some other villain?" She seemed to have asked that last question pleadingly as if she didn't want to believe he has returned.

Celestia looked grim when she answered Rainbows question. "I'm absolutely sure it was Sombra, though he didn't feel as powerful as before. That means we'll have a couple days to prepare before he returns." She seemed relieved when she spoke that last sentence.

The Puppet though looked as if his head might explode from what he was hearing he was so confused. "Can one of you please explain to me what's going on?" Everyponies attention was now on him and what he said.

"Twilight you and friends and explain everything to him I need to warn Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor about what's going on. I'll speak to you soon." With she teleported in a flash of white everyponies attention now on the Puppet. And then Lyra realized something.

"You guys remember what we saw in his memories?" All the girls looked confused at what she just asked. "What SPECIES he was?" That made Rainbow, Applejack and Twilights eyes open in realization before groaning in annoyance all giving Lyra twenty bits each into her outstretched hooves while the others looked on in confusion.

Twilight simply said. "Bet." That made everypony and Puppet say 'Ooooh' in unison.

Twilight then coughed into her hooves gaining everypony and Puppets attention on her. "With that out of the way girls let's explain to him everything that happened to us starting with Nightmare Moon, The Elements, Discord etc. etc."

With that they explained everything to the Puppet.

In Manehattan a young mare was rushing to get to work because she only had five minutes left. She knew she wouldn't make it in time. She looked around trying to find a cab to take her to destination, but no luck. She was about to keep running before she noticed an alleyway. She would have ignored not for the street sign that pointed down the alley and said 'Rocky Slope' which was the street that her job was at.

Without much consideration she bolted down the alley trying to get to her work place in time. The alley was getting darker and darker, but she didn't care all that mattered was getting to work in time. She didn't even notice the decayed yellow leg that she tripped over falling into the hard stone ground. She groaned in pain looking back at her to glare at whatever tripped her, but a her eyes widened in suprise at seeing it was some sort of giant decayed yellow rabbit with......blood around its torn fur?

She approached it warily not sure of what it was only when she was right in front of it she smelled something decayed inside of it. Holding one hoof to her muzzle to block the smell she used her other to kick its leg. No reaction. She was about to turn around and continue on her way before a yellow arm reached out and grabbed her hindleg dragging her towards it. Petrified by fear she didn't scream out.

It then stood up at a six foot height. It then gripped her throat cutting off all oxygen. While she was gasping in pain it used its left hand and slowly lifted its upper jaw up revealing an image that made her sream internally.

Before she died from lack of oxygen she heard it whisper three words. "I AM SPRINGTRAP."
