This story takes place within the universe of Equestria at War, and is inspired by the Pink Floyd album, The Wall.

1023. Ten years from the fall of Canterlot, and just one year from the decennial of the Changeling occupation of Equestria.

Tyrant, fool, supremacist -- the Worm. The pony that rebuilds from the rot of Equestria, bringing an ideology that was scoffed at in the Equestria of old.

But Equestria is not the same anymore. Years of Changeling occupation has embittered the ponies, and their strict rule and strange demands have safely put an end to the Harmonic experiment.

Stop Light is just one pony offering solutions for a new world amongst many, but after such catastrophe and loss, the ever-militant worms are seeming more and more necessary. Sure, it's not ideal, but friendship's hard when you're staring into the barrel of a rifle. Besides, he asks the question nobody else is willing to:

Would you like to see Equestria rule again?

Please be aware that this contains some nasty views, and less than kind ponies.

One million years ago, in the year 2017 A.D., humanity discovered two new types of radiation that were being emitted from an unknown region up in space. Using the Hubble space telescope, scientists were able to discover that the radiation was being emitted from an asteroid, which was on a direct collision path with Earth. 

These two newly discovered radiation types were dubbed Keifer's radiation (later nicknamed harmonic radiation) and Chaotic radiation. Keifer's radiation was found to be completely harmless to humans and animals, although it was later discovered that Keifer's radiation tended to be attracted to certain animals. Chaotic radiation, on the other hand, was found to be extremely harmful to humans in large amounts, causing fatal mutations to humans. 

The discovered asteroid was found to be over twice as big as the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. In the year 2018, scientists predicted that the radiation was expected to reach fatal, critical levels by the year 2027. The asteroid itself was estimated to only crash into Earth one thousand years later, long after the rest of humanity would be wiped out by the lethal Chaotic radiation.

As a result of this, world leaders got together and began construction of Utopia, a large underground bunker, capable of housing four hundred thousand people, two thousand from each country. The chosen few were gathered together within Utopia and would be the last of humanity.

However, the radiation was estimated to have a half life of at least 1,000,000 years. This led world governments to invest heavily in suspended animation and cryogenic technology. And finally, in the year 2024, the first cryogenic pod was invented, capable of freezing someone for an infinite amount of time, without the need for sustenance, as long as there was a power supply.

Exactly one million years later, the humans reemerged to begin recolonisation... only to find several sentient species currently inhabiting the planet that they once had absolute, unchallenged authority over. 

One of them was humanity, which was able to recolonise and repopulate the planet from the few members of the human race that managed to survive the Second Flood, long before the Utopians woke up. But there was something wrong, humanity was being used as slaves by the ponies and several other species.

How will humanity answer to the fact that Planet Earth (now renamed Equus) is no longer theirs? Will they make peace with the locals, or will they attempt to wipe them off the face of the planet with their stockpile of nuclear weapons, that were there for the very purpose of reinstating human rule if another creature evolved to their level?

It's just been a few days since the friendship games, but something drastic has changed. The solar system of Earth isn't what the inhabitants of the planet are used to. Plus there are two teenage, high-school students, who control the most important objects in the sky.

Princess Celestia loves those mornings she can slip away, and walk her dearest student, Twilight, to their lessons.

This morning, though, holds a tragic twist.

Brought to you by Bride Of Sombra, who came up with this brilliant series, and myself, who turned her ideas into a story.

King Sombra’s Legion Of Doom is an animated anthropomorphic action-comedy television series. It is a spin-off of the King Sombra’s Fantastic Movie franchise of films, and like that series, stars the character King Sombra from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Plot: The arrogant and tyrannical unicorn King Sombra decides he wants to take over the entire world. But in order to do so he must assemble a team of powerful and ruthless military leaders to aid him in his conquests. Now, Sombra is all set for world domination with his new Legion of Doom, but there’s only one problem — all of them are absolutely terrible at their jobs. The series follows the misadventures of Sombra and his lackeys as they try over and over again to conquer the world.

Characters:

King Sombra: The unicorn ruler of the Crystal Empire. He is arrogant, cruel, and obnoxious. It’s also shown that while he is very knowledgeable about some things, he’s not all that smart. He lives in Castle Sombra with his servants and generals where he plots to conquer the world.

General Monoceros: Stout unicorn who leads Sombra’s army. He isn’t all that bright, despite being quite strong.

Admiral Aerion: Cunning and agile pegasus who leads Sombra’s naval forces (despite the fact that the Crystal Empire is landlocked). He secretly thinks more highly of himself than Sombra.

Air Chief Comet: Young and handsome earth pony who is in charge of Sombra’s air force (even though he is an earth pony and does not have wings). He is friends with the other generals and enjoys annoying Sombra.

Doctor Radiant Hope: A purplish unicorn with a light blue mane. She serves as the group’s physician and uses her healing magic to treat illnesses. She is madly in love with Sombra, yet he seems to have no idea that she has feelings for him. Although she and Sombra have known each other since they were kids, Sombra does not treat her very well and claims to only keep her around due to her ability to heal.

Sombra’s Troopers: The soldiers of Sombra’s military. They follow his every order, no matter how whimsical or insane it might be.

Sombra’s Harem Mares: A group of female ponies who reside in Sombra’s castle. They are deeply devoted to Sombra despite his horrible treatment of them. It’s implied multiple times that Sombra once had each of them as his wives but eventually got sick of them and locked them up.

Sombra’s Cooks: A group of cooks who are tasked with providing meals for the King and his court.

Dungeon Dwellers: A group of mangy, scrawny ponies who reside in the dungeons of Castle Sombra. They have been in the dungeons for so long that Sombra can’t even remember why he locked them up in the first place.
