A Sombra End

by UniqueSKD

Of strength and power do you brag with misplaced pride, but in these caves something more terrible than you resides...

"Bah! These mountains chill the essence of my soul. I am a being of the dark. This cold shouldn't affect me like this..."

Kur no bek, un dorvah. Greetings, Sombra the dictator.

"What? Who is there? Somepony lives in this mountain?"

Kur tok gur durl. No pony lives in this mountain. Only 'something'.

"Come out of your hiding place, mortal. Do not make me send my power of shadows for you."

Ke ke ke ke ku ku ku hur hur hur. I'm not hiding anywhere. And you would be wise not to belittle me with that tone of authority. You have none here in my domain, Sombra.

"You speak my name with much familiarity, yet you don't seem to recognize the monster behind that name. If you did, you'd be much more cautious when speaking to me, fool. In fact, you'd be praying to Mother Faust."

And you would likewise do the same while confronted with a creature such as I, Sombra. Dalk no zorok no behl

"HA! A beast of some sort, are you? Not a pony? That would excuse your ignorant backtalk. A pony would tremble at the mere sight of me. Quiver and shake at the first syllable of my name. A beast hasn't the intellect to understand true evil when it stands before them."

Creature, pony, or neither, whatever entity I came into this world as, would not change my view of the unsightly thing I see before me. Dalk grah no ko no gahk. As I said before, you have no authority here.

"I am King Sombra! I am no mere pony! I was born from the shadows, birthed straight out of a nightmare! I was made strong through unholy pacts with devils and granted powers through offering of innocent blood! I am the ruler of the Crystal Empire, and a king of all monsters! Pony or creature, my authority extends even to you, whoever and wherever you are!"

KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU KU HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR! What are these absurd words I hear from your mouth? A ruler? A king? I see no more than a pathetic essence of life before me. There is nothing about you that warrants respect of royalty. As for who I am, many names have I been given, but you may call me...Demise, for I shall be yours this day. Durn suva vor nok telia.

"How DARE you speak to me in that way! I will take your tongue for that!"

Hmm? Then come for it. Durg dun la grak.

"Your hiding place will not protect you from me, fool! My power of shadows shall root you out from your...! Wha...what? Wait! What is happening?"

Kee kee kee kee ku ku ku ku hur hur hur hur. Oh dear, Sombra. Is something the matter? Kee kee kee ku ku ku hur hur.

"My...my powers! This darkness! They...they won't respond to my will...won't grasp control of this darkness! Why can I not channel my will into this darkness!?"

Because, as I have said before, and will remind you many more times if need be, you have NO authority here, Sombra. Dor gehl sor konvit. In the world outside this mountain, you may have power - what of it you claim to possess - but here, this is MY darkness. These are MY shadows. Unlike those powers you wield and boast of as though they were your own.

"So, you possess power of darkness too? Suddenly you have become more interesting to me..."

And to me you are not, Sombra the False King. Sombra the Deceiver. Sombra the Forgotten Tyrant.

"'Forgotten'? AH HA HA HA HA HA! Far from it, creature! My name has survived a thousand years in history! My name is sewn into the pages of every legend and horror story! My name instills dread into the hearts of all who speak it, and all who hear it!"

Is that so, Sombra? Dor vek seet, dor vek seet...

"Once, a majestic princess of crystals stood tall and proud from her balcony of a magnificent crystal palace, looking out over a splendid crystal kingdom. My power bested hers, and made her into stone, which shattered upon her crystal floors as my iron-clad hooves drove through her statue! A thousand crystal ponies sang mournful cries out at the moment of her death, and I relished in the symphony of sorrow! My heart was pure darkness, my blood black and my mind an abyss! The empire was mine, and I ruled without challenge, without resistance!"

And yet you fell to the Bringers of the Sun and the Moon, yes?

"That...was but a small setback. The alicorn of the night exhibited her...other self, and took me by surprise. I would have easily killed them both had it not been for her small moment of luck."

KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KU KU KU KU KU HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR! I highly doubt it, little parasite Sombra! Grahl lak dur vor bae! You think you can hide the truth from me, but I see it so clearly! You fell to the Mare of the Moon from your bragging and boasting of how powerful and mighty you were, and while trying to bring the younger sister to your side. You pitiful whelp! Whatever made you think you could convince her, let alone anypony, to join you without resorting to your cheap little magic tricks? And this power you brag so much of! You conjure black crystals and turned a princess into stone when she turned away from you! You force your black magic into lesser minds, rotting their memories and tattooing your own to bring them to your side, because you cannot speak silver-tongued words! This thing that you call 'power' is no more a 'power' than you are a frightening dictator, and you are just a playful little rascal compared to the things I have done, to the things I am capable of, Sombra!

"You...you dare mock me? YOU DARE TO MOCK MY NAME AND IMAGE!? You do not even show yourself as you speak such dribble! Show yourself to me, you cowardly vermin! Let me see just how scary you are! Show yourself to me NOW!!!"

If you insist, Sombra. Drah minos, kull pahrin nok jal...

"Ah! Finally! Let us see how terrifying you...re...really...ah...ah...I...wha-what is...by the devils of Tartarus!"

Witness the being that presents itself to you, Sombra! THIS is what true horror is! I AM the nightmare that lurks in the darkness, not you!

"Wha-wha-what the hell are y-you!? Get away...get away from me...GET AWAY FROM ME! I SAID - WAIT, WHAT!?"

And I am the true master of shadows as well, Sombra. Your mastery is non-existent, else you would easily break from the grasps of my shadows. And this is but the most basic of my abilities. Grun tok nahla dorvek.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! OH HORRORS OF THE MIND, YOUR FACE! YOUR HIDEOUS FACE! OH PLEASE, MERCY! LEAVE ME BE YOU MONSTER!"

But my dear Sombra? I thought you were the 'king of monsters' not long ago? Am I not a monster? Are you not my king? You should not be so afraid of little ol' me, a subject whom you so claim to rule over? Kee kee kee kee kee ku ku ku ku ku hur hur hur hur hur hur!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

I am the one who knows the truth about you, Sombra. Your deals with the demons. Your luring of innocent ponies to your chambers for your blood-drink rituals. Your pathetic desire for greatness through murder and enslavement of those weaker than yourself. You are scum, Sombra. You offend my eyes with your unsightly character. You consider yourself a wicked villain, but you are nothing more than an overused cliche! You desired your name to be remembered in fear by all who knew you, yet time would quickly wear and tear away whatever dread your namesake held! Oh indeed, an entire empire cowered when you made your dramatic return, but how very quickly that cowardice disappeared when you met defeat at the claws of a baby dragon! A baby dragon! KEE KEE KEE KEE KU KU KU KU HUR HUR HUR HUR! What a humiliating and depressing fall to take! Who would ever kneel in fright before you, if even a child can overcome your 'so-called' power? KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KU KU KU KU KU HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR!

"I...it...ah...uh...gah!"

You call yourself an evil king. You call yourself the king of monsters. You claim to have a heart blacker than the darkest night. Since we know the first two claims are lies, let us see if the third holds any truth to it at all...

"What the - no, wait! What are you doinGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ARRRRRRRRRRGH! NO! NO, PLEASE NO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Hmm...not quite as black as I thought. Bleagh! Your dirty blood stains my cave floor!

"...ack...gasp...uh...!"

Well, I think I'll keep this as a souvenir, seeing as you won't be needing it anymore. 'Have a heart', as they say. Grun don lak veil.

"...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..."

And thus ends the story of 'mighty' King Sombra, his book closed now forever...

Author's Note:

You are not the king of monsters, Sombra. Only one creature deserves that title, and he eats other kaiju for breakfast.

I'm wondering if this is gonna scare the shit outta me or not.. It's late at night so READ LATER IN THE MORNING SO I CAN SLEEEEEEP

[BlabideeblahMLP]

*Sees cover*

Hello FNAF 4!

[Cocoa Swirl 10201]

well shit, this cover is about as scary as the movie the babadook itself. Have fun sleeping tonight kids!

[Xanderfox]

Yessh "Truth" really enjoys his self appointed job doesn't he? He's a monster but I don't think he's evil, more morally neutral, he gives the villains every chance to defend themselves and when they realize even they think they are scum he kills them. I have a feeling any good or reformed would enter his cave and leave fully unharmed, only disquieted by some experience they can't fully recall.

[UniqueSKD]

5953380 I hope you'll find the sequel to be just as good. Yes. There's going to be a few more stories of the Demon to come yet.

[Onyx Heart]

That pic reminds me of the wolf thing from the Neverending Story.

[UniqueSKD]

5983813 Was it a wolf in the film? I haven't seen that film in a long time but I always thought of it being a huge black bear. Of course I was younger then so I guess I didn't know better at the time. I'll have to look back at that and see for myself.

I liked the dragon. I've always admired dragons.

[Lord Shaxx]

Lol. Sombrekt.

[thegamerator10]

5983813 It's known as Gmork (or G'mork). Really scary. I first came to know this thing from joshscorcher's Top 10 Scariest Nostalgic Moments. Gmork was at number 1.
Gmork is basically a vicious wolf-like monster with glowing green eyes and pretty terrible bloodlust, companied by really scary chords every time he appears. Scariest part about him is that the whole monster bit is just his day job. He is actually intelligent and philosophical, but still has quite the bloodlust.

I can see Gmork in this story's image, but good God daring Celestia, that is ridiculously terrifying!

[Prism Phoenix]

These are MY shadows. Unlike those powers you wield and boost of as though they were your own.

Do you mean 'boast' there?

Sombra the Flase King

lolwut

The alicorn of the night exhibited her...other self, and took me by surprise.

Is that a reference I see?

[UniqueSKD]

6616085 Yeah...I kinda forgot those errors.

I wrote this story up on my laptop's WordPad...and it doesn't have autocorrect features to tell me I misspelled while typing fast. XD

Well, now that you've brought it up, might as well go make the corrections.

And yes, that last one was a reference to that animation on YouTube. I forget the name of it though. Doh!

[Prism Phoenix]

6617042 I believe it was called 'Fall of the Crystal Empire'

[Dilos1]

Do you plan on writing more of these with the rest of the villains? Personally I would like to see one with Chrysalis.

[UniqueSKD]

6678684 I'm trying to write one for Trixie, actually.

[BlueColton]

So you're doing this for all of the villains?

[UniqueSKD]

6819289 I'm trying to get around to doing that. I'm not really so much into fanfiction writing as most people. I'm more into making YouTube animations. They're not the best animations you'll ever see, but considering I don't have access to most of the sort of tools and software as other, more competent animators use these days, I'd like to think I've done fairly well with my methods.

I draw my frames and scenes and characters by hand, and trace over my drawings in Photoshop, adding color and stuff before making them into animation frames. It's nothing superb, and it takes a considerable amount of time to do (five seconds of animation can take up to a day or two depending on what's happening in those five seconds!), but I can at least proudly say that I'm making my videos without the help of some Flash program auto-correcting my shapes for me. XD

To be honest with you, the abundance of clopfics on this site kinda turned me away from writing stories. I can tolerate them better now, but I'm growing concerned over the few rape fics that have popped up lately. I don't think even the best writers on this site are talented enough yet to delve into rape stories, especially since the rape concept is being used as a sexual gratification, with the victim very rarely getting justice for his/her ordeal.

But that;s just me though. Clopfics, I'm now okay with being around. But rape fics is a massive no-no for me.

I'm sorry. You didn't want my life story, did you? I tend to babble nonsense sometimes. I apologize for boring you. (bows politely to you)

[JacobMKeene]

Hello, this is Jacob M. Keene, and you know how ObabScribbler did a reading of your story "No Glimmer of Hope?" Well, I did a reading of this story on my YouTube channel! I hope you don't mind that I censored the swear words with "heck" to fit my G-rating (sometimes PG-rating) of my channel (I'm not offended by swearing, I just don't use it or have it in any of my videos):

[UniqueSKD]

6992084 You don't have to worry about a thing mate. Who do you think I am; one of those f**kers on the internet who goes about shutting down people's channels because they don't like their content? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!

I'm actually very honored that you have done a reading of the story mate. Thank you very much. I appreciate your kindness a lot.

And you read it pretty well if I may say, mate. :)

[JacobMKeene]

6992146 I'm glad you liked it!

[UniqueSKD]

6992228 Liked it, will add it to my Liked content soon.

Thank you friend. You're not too bad to be honest. I should probably try to do some writing again soon. I just want to see this Fair Use debate get settled first, or t least see a bit of improvement.

I have a lot of ideas for videos, but I can't do them because I am afraid of getting taken down for trying to show my creativity.

I hope you avoid the fate a number of other channels are facing. You seem like a decent person and it'd be a shame to lose another decent YouTuber.

Indeed, this creature speaks but does not act unless your words trap you into a cage that forces his hand, as did Sombra's speak of his own 'black heart'. Those with a silver tongue or unquestionable character may leave unscathed yet unsettled, but those whose ledger reads all red may only know the dark.

[Pete100]

I want sunset shimmer to go through this.
