The now physically formed evil king stands before you laughing his head off, as he places the Crystal Heart over his breastplate where it becomes a dark shade of green.
“Thought you could hurt me again Amore? Think again you…” he says while looking at the heart, before laughing once more in triumph.
So now the one tool that could’ve been used to hurt the guy is corrupted, and it’s all your fault…

"AAAAAAHHHH!!!!! WHY AM I SO BAD AT BEING GOOD?!" you yell to the heavens.
“Seriously, I’ve bucked up big time, someling hit me for…” and your yell is answered, as Rainbow Dash tackles you to the ground and starts throttling you.
“You Bucking Idiot! You Stupid Bucking Idiot! YOU’VE KILLED US ALL!” she yells in panic as she slams your head against the ground. She slams you so hard, your chest starts bleeding again.
“Open wound!...Open Wound!” you gasp out, causing Rainbow to look down at you and back off.
“Sorry, sorry,” she says as she backs up into a group of the rest of the Deadly 6 (except Twilight) Cadance, Spike, and Flash Sentry who flies in with a glaring Shining Armor. “But still, look what you’ve done!” she continues
You look back over at the still laughing Sombra as Crystal Ponies begin shake in fear.
Wow, he sure likes laughing huh? You think to yourself before looking back to the group.
TheRutherford’s Comment
“OK, I know I’ve bucked up big time…”
“YOU THINK?!” they all reply back to you.
“Hey, I was just trying to save Spike and Cadance,” you respond before looking at Shining with a Stink Eye, “and in my defense, who in their right mind would throw their wife off of a balcony? That could have killed her!”
Cadence responds, “I have wings. I can fly. I was going to save Spike and the heart, Shining was just giving me a speed boost.”
“By throwing you like a javelin from the Equestria Games?”
“Yes. Exactly like that” she says non-chalantly.”
You can’t believe how she’s still defending being thrown off a building when she is still barely just standing up in her condition, and how noling else seems to have a problem with it.
“Was everyling else in on this? If so I would have liked to have been included. You have no idea how many times actually being let in on a plan would have prevented me from doing something overly stupid!” you yell back at them.
“Ahem,” you hear from the dark king behind you, so you and everyone turns to look at him giving you a quizzical look.
“What?” you ask back.
“I’ve just stolen and corrupted your only hope of salvation, why aren’t you quaking in fear?”
“Hold your horses, we’re in the middle of berating me for my stupidity!” you tell him which makes him raise an eyebrow.
“B-but I’ve won! You lost. I said Long Live the King all dramatically and everything,” he says sounding offput.
“But the King is dead,” you tell him.
“What are you talking about? I'm standing right here,”
You shake your head at this, “You said "Long live the king." The King died about six years ago if my memory is correct.”
Sombra raises an eyebrow at that “What king would that be?”
“The King of Pop.”
“The King of Pop? He ruled over Soda?”
“No, as in Pop music,” you correct.
“Umm…sure?” you reply unsurely.
“They made somepony king of that?” he asks flabbergasted.
“Yep. His name was Michael Moonwalker. A truly talented singer, dancer, songwriter, and he even had a stint as an actor for a time. Sure he turned weird towards the end of his career, and all those disturbing claims made by parents…but you cannot deny he was loved by millions the world over. Of course in my opinion, he pales in comparison to the late King of Rock and Roll.”
“What?”
“The King of Rock and Roll. I can't say his name since his record label magically copyrighted his name, but he paved the way for most of the music you can hear today. He took Rhythm and Blues and put a twist on it and made Rock and Roll. Since then countless musicians have tweaked his style and allowed the music to involve to today's classic rock, heavy metal, etc.”
“I’m only half understanding what you’re saying,” says the confused Dictator, “they made ponies rulers of noise and elements and metal? Does the title King not mean anything anymore?”
“Of course it does, now let me tell you about the Kings of metal…”
“Is he seriously giving a lecture to that monster?” asks Rarity.
“How stupid is this guy?” says Applejack.
“Well to be fair, he does know a lot about music,” says Pinkie.
“No this is good,” says Shining causing everyone to look at him. “He’s distracting Sombra, now’s our chance to strike.”
Fireheart’s comment
“…and then he bit the head off a bat on stage. Now moving onto DIO, he was left on his own…”
“LIKE A RAINBOW IN THE DARK!” shouts Dash as she speeds past your ear and socks Sombra right in the nose followed shortly by Flash who gets him in the gut.
“Hey, I wasn’t done telling him about…”
“CHARGE!” you hear Shining yell behind you as the rest of the group, except for Cadance and Spike then run up and start raining blows onto the king and trying to take the Crystal Heart off of him..
“Oh…right, evil dictator, AAAAHHHH!!!” you yell as you jump into the beatdown.
You all beat and pummel the King as he keeps yelping in pain.
“AH! Pain! I forgot how much you hurt!”
“Die MotherBucker! Die MotherBucker!” you sing out as you prepare to give him a curb stomp, before you are all blasted away by a wave of dark magic.
“ENOUGH!” he yells. “Very clever of you, distracting me so your friends could attack. But it’s USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! USELESS!”
Kichi’s Comment
"The King is back! And without the Crystal Heart no one is going to defeat me" he says with a sinister smile as you all see the Crystal Heart begin to emit a dark glow.
"Now! Kneel to me! Kneel to your King!" he shouts causing the crystal ponies to kneel in fear, but You, the Elements, Cadence, Shining and Spike still stand.
“Never Zod!-I mean Samba-I mean…whatever the buck your name is!” you shout back.
"We are never going to kneel to you! You are a false King! Leave the Crystal Empire now!" shouts Cadance.
"Dude, we have you outnumbered! Between us, Cadance Shining and El Hunko it’s going to be easy to defeat you!" Rainbow Dash boasts.
"If you are not going to kneel, you will have to be punished!" Sombra chuckles as his horn glows and a beam of dark magic flows out of the heart and awashes you and the group.
You look around after the beam and feel fine.
“Well that was pretty weak, what was that supposed to have…” you say before you look back at your group and that they all have a horrified/sad expression as their eyes glow green.
“Oh…”
"No! I'm not a turtle! Please Spitfire give me another chance! I'm not the slowest pony in Equestria!" screams Rainbow.
“You can’t take Applebloom away! We’re her family! I didn’t let the farm die! I didn’t let the farm die!” cries Applejack.
“Please no, come back little critters. Please don’t be afraid of me…” cries Fluttershy.
“I just wanted everypony to be happy…somepony, anypony, please just smile…” cries Pinkie.
“I worked so hard on these outfits for you all. Why do you hate me? Please don’t cast me aside,” blubbers Rarity.
“I don’t want to go…” says Spike sadly.
“No! Shining! She’s a Changeling! Let me out of here! LET ME OUT!” screams Cadance.
“Cadance, please don’t leave me. I didn’t know it wasn’t you! She tricked me! I love you…” whimpers Shining.
“Oh Sweet Celestia! Make the voices stop, MAKE THEM STOP!” screams Flash as he holds his head. “I didn’t steal anything I swear! Please stop screaming for my blood!”
“Wow…that’s depressing,” you mutter before looking back at the smirking King.
"Uhhh... Why is that I'm not in a nightmare?" you ask.
"You? Why must I put you in a nightmare? No...El Hunko, was it? Strange name, but still it's thanks to you that the Crystal Empire is again under my hoof.”
“Well don’t say it like that…” you whimper.
“Even after the melee we’ve just been through, I'm going to give a position working with me, you can be one of my generals,” he says making you choke.
“Wait, seriously?”
“Of course. Work with me, El Hunko, you are powerful and crafty. Together we can defeat those stupid princesses and expand the Empire all over the world!" he says like a businessman.
I can’t believe, I really can’t believe it. He actually tried to get me to join the dark side. You think.
OK sure, I hate the Princesses just as much as the next guy but still.
You look back at the crying whimpering group and remember the horrible images you were shown. And it was all thanks to him. You look back at him and sneer.
“No,” you mutter
"What was that?" he asks.
"I said...NO!" in the RCV making the King stumble back from the wind before correcting himself.
"A pity. I guess you are as stupid as you dress" he laughs before addressing the Crystal Ponies around him.
"Slaves! Take him!" he orders and the crystal ponies look between you and the tyrant, too scared to do anything.
"Grrr... If you want something done, you have to do it yourself,” he mutters darkly as he starts charging up his horn.
“HOLD IT!” you cry out.
“What? Why?” he asks.
“I’m kind of wounded at the moment, let me put some salve on,” you tell him pointing at your wound.
“Hmm, nasty wound. Orichalcum?” he asks.
“Eyup,” you respond as you put the salve on and then put the jar back into your bag.
“Alright, now, as I was saying, It’s time for you to,” he begins before you interrupt him by…
Kersey’s Comment
Grabbing random things in your inventory and chucking them at him.
“Eat Multimedia Madness!” you yell.
You chuck 2 of the Sherclop Holmes novels at his face, (you still haven’t read the other two yet) a bunch of Movie Reels at him, some of which wrap around his horn, and Checkov’s Pen which stabs him directly between the eyes.
“Gyagh!” he roars.
“Ooo, that’s gotta hurt,” you say.
-2 Sherclop Holmes Novels
-Checkov’s Pen
-Movie reels
Lost from Inventory
You then reach in and grab another item and are about to throw it when you realize what it is.
“Oh yeah, My Future Telling Comic…kind of forgot about you,” you say as you mentally facehoof. You look back to the cursing dictator as he tries pulling the pen out of his head.
“OK, just a peak,” you say as you open the comic book.
Unfortunately, most of the pages are blank, save for the words, “Future Changed,” upon them.
The only page that has anything is one that shows an Image of Spike standing heroically while the Crystal Ponies bow to him.
“The Buck? How do we get from this to that?” you wonder before being interrupted by a growl.
You look back and see Sombra has taken the pen out of his forehead.
“For that, your friends shall be crushed under my boots.”
OK, I gotta get this guy away from them until they snap out of it. Gonna have to hit him hard. I need a sec to charge up a mega hit from the glove, gotta keep him talking.
You know that this guy is hitting every major evil villain cliché, so no doubt he’d like to do a little more Evil Gloating.
"So... Now that you have the Macguffin of Ultimate Power or whatever, what's next on your evil agenda?" you ask.
"Simple, after I crush these interlopers and destroy the last of Amore's royal lineage, I will free my family!"
"You dastardl- Wait, free your family?!" you (and several other ponies) exclaim in shock.
"Yesssss. For too long the Crystal Ponies have kept my fellow Umbrum trapped under their Empire, but no more!"
"Well... At least your goal is sorta-kinda benevolent like in Star Trot into Darkn-" you start to say.
"Once my army of fellow shadow ponies are free, we will take our place as the masters of this world!"
"And there it is" you deadpan. “Would you kindly buzz off!” you yell as you send a massive swarm of bees at Sombra.
Before any of the bees reach him however, he sends out a wave of darkness using the heart and each one is encased in crystal.
“Mediocre…” Sombra taunts.
“Oh come the buck o-argh!” you start before being lifted by your neck by a shadowy tendril coming from his arm.
“Oh-*cough* I find your lack of faith disturbing right?” you gasp out.
“What are you talking about?” Sombra asks.
“What?! You haven’t seen Star Wars? Oh right, 1,000 years sleeping and all that,”
“Just die already you little…” he curses as the pressure increases on your windpipe.
You start seeing little black dots in your vision but then…
BrownDog’s Comment
From out of the Inventory, Nightshade pops out.
"Hey Buckface!" she yells, causing him to look to her.
“Why is there a child in your saddle bags?” he asks before forgetting all about that when Nightshade holds up the scurrying Wombat.
"*Gasp* Oh my goodness! He's so cute and cuddley with his little paws and nose," says Sombra in a Fluttershyesque manner with stars in his eyes, causing his force choke on you to stop.
"Catch this!" she then throws the wombat into Sombra's face.
"Oh he's coming right at my...Gyagh!" he cries as the Wombat starts clawing and scratching his face up harshly, allowing you to back up.
"Why fuzzy wuzzy?! Why?!" he cries.
“*Cough* thanks Nightshade, now get back in the…”
“Quick daddy, use this!” she interrupts you handing you the slinky.
“What am I supposed to do with…” you begin before a light bulb chimes in your brain.
You look back to Sombra who grabs the Wombat and throws him away, with tears in his eyes.
“I just wanted to love you you ungrateful marsupial.”
"Hey, don't be sad, take this," you say as you give Sombra one end of the slinky.
"My Slinky!" he cries out in happiness, "I would watch this thing go down my stairs for hours and hours and..." he rambles while you stretch the slinky to it's limit.
"Hey Moron!" you yell, causing him to look up. "Everyone loves a Slinky!" you say, letting go of the taught spring, launching your end straight back towards Sombra and gouging his eye out.
"GGGGYYYYAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! Why do the things I love hurt so much?!" he yells holding his bleeding eye.
“Nice one Daddy,” Nightshade says to you.
“I know right?” you respond.
“Now you hold him off, and I’ll go wake everyling from their Nightmares,” she says before bounding out of the Inventory and towards the group.
“Wait, NO! Get back in the…” you cry before get suspended in dark magic.
“Enough of this!” cries Sombra with one squinting eye, before he blasts you into a nearby building.

RainbowPootis' Comment
As you crash through the building, the wind is knocked out of you and a cloud of dust rises all around you.
“Dang it Nightshade!” you groan as you get back up. You're about to go back into the fray when you notice that your purple top hat is now split open at the top like a soup can and your El Hunko suit is starting to tear.
“No! My Duds! I won’t lose you, you’re too awesome to tear further!” you declare before taking them all off. You then grab out the Nobody Cloak and sigh.
“Well the situation is bucked either way. At least they won’t know I’m also El Hunko…except for Pinkie,” you say before donning your Vigilante Cloak once more.
You look at your reflection on a wall mirror.
“Huh, still looks awesome. Now all I have to do is…”but before you can do anything else, a large chunk of black crystal comes crashing down on you.
"...Buck," you moan from under the rock before even more pressure comes down on you as Sombra lands on the rock.
*CRUNCH!*
You feel your chitin crack beneath your disguise, causing your wound to bleed again.
“Ugh…” you groan in pain.
"HAHAHA! you even make that same crunching noise as I crush you beneath my hoof like a bug!" you hear him gloat.
Like a bug...
Like a bug...
like a bug.
You feel despair, just wishing for it to be over, before you remember, without you, who’s going to look after Nightshade?
A faint buzzing starts in the back of your head.
She’s all you have as family left.
The buzzing grows louder in your mind.
You remember a motto from you early days: The hive is your family, and the family, your hive.
The buzzing consumes your entire mind, as you become filled with the single minded thought to protect Nightshade.
"Any last words?" you hear him, as he presses the Crystal chunk further onto you.
"Did you know insects can lift over 20 time their own weight?"
“Huh?” he asks.
“And in dire circumstances, a parent can lift an entire carriage up to save their baby?”
“What are you babbling about?”
“Well guess what. I’m Both!”
Your body protests, but you push the Crystal up hard enough that it punches the surprised stallion in the face hard enough to launch him through a wall. The whole time, consumed by the urge to protect nightshade.
You get up panting and hold your wound again.
“Ugh, I ain’t got time to bleed!” you cry as you decide to do something incredibly stupid.
You hold your power glove to your wound and breathe out.
“Would you kindly cauterize?” and an intense pain wracks your chest as you burn your own flesh.
You double over in pain and cry. You look back down at your wound and see that it still remains, but the bleeding has stopped for now.
You pop some pain pills, still hopped up on adrenaline and look to the hole you just made.
Sombra appears in it angry, but then a look of confusion comes over his face.
“Wait a minute, who are you? Where’s El Hunko?”
“Oh he’s safe for now, which is more than I can say for you,” you mutter.
You then whisper "Would you kindly Mix it up" which activates the "Mix-Up Smash" mode on your Power Glove. You adjust the dials to "Insect Swarm" and "Electro Bolt"
He growls, “And who are you then?”
“I’m the Hooded Offender you stupid B@$%@#&, and according to the world at large, I’m worse than you,” you declare, causing him to look confused.
You then point your Power Glove hoof forward and declare.
"Yo Smokey, Don't you know that smoking KILLS?!"
This causes a swarm of Twittermites to come at the tyrant, scathing him off-guard. He attempts to just imprison them in crystals again, but the Twittermites violently electrocute him allowing you to rush in, adjust one of the dials from "Electro Bolt!" to "Incinerate!", point the Power Glove point-blank at his face, and yell,
"Hasta la BYE BYE!"
This fires an electrified ball of fire that explodes in Sombra's face sending him flying through the building and into another one. It also sends you smashing back through a building and you mutter,
"Not to self: Explosives are NOT a close-quarters weapon..."
You then hear gasps behind you and you turn around and see your group out of their Nightmare Funk, standing with Nightshade, who has disguised her horn, making her look like a pegasus.
The ponies look at you in shock.
“H-Hoody?” squeaks out Fluttershy.
“Bugze?” Cadance whispers.
“Oh hey, you’re all out of your funk,” you say.
“Yes, this filly came and rescued us,” she says pointing at Nightshade.
“What was your name again?” asks Spike, “You seem really familiar.”
“Oh, I’m…Dark Shadow,” she says after some hesitation.
I knew that Thesaurus would come in handy, you mentally cheer, before being brought out of it by an angry Stallion.
"What are YOU doing here?" demands Shining.
"Just clearing the air" you reply.
“I knew it! I knew it was you that left all that money!” he yells.
“You’re welcome by the way, now you can stop hounding me right?”
“Like Tartarus I will, you can’t just buy your way out of this!”
“Oh come on, can we worry about this later? Thought we were in crisis mode at the moment?”
“Grr…fine, but we are not done talking,” he relents.
“Hey, what happened to El Hunko?” asks Fluttershy.
“He’s fine, I rescued him and sent him away for his own safety.”
“How do we know you’re telling the truth?!” demands Rainbow.
“Oh I’m sure El Hunko is just fine you guys,” says Pinkie with a wink to you.
“OK, enough of the small talk, I’m here to help, and we have to stop Sombra!”
“Good luck with that!” declares the Tyrant from behind you.
You turn around and see the heart glowing bright.
“Oh son of a…” you say before Sombra hits you with a powerful blast of dark magic that sends you soaring towards the top of the Crystal Palace.
“I’m blasting off again!” you yell as you crash through the roof of the palace and smash into a cluster of crystals.
“AAAAHHH!!!” you hear a feminine voice scream as you land on something soft.
As you open your eyes, you see that you are lying on top of Twilight.
“Oh, hey Twilight, are you alright?”
“Yeah, sure I’m…” she starts before opening her own eyes and seeing you.
Her eyes widen momentarily before they take on a look of annoyance.
“Oh it’s you. Of course you’d be here, what a surprise,” she deadpans.
“Well hello to you too,” you reply indignantly.
“Please get off of me,” she snarls.
“Oh, right,” you say as you do so.
After she gets up, she asks, “What’s going on out there? I heard explosions and yelling, IS SPIKE ALRIGHT?!”
“Calm down, yeah Spike is alright, I saved the little guy,” she looks relieved to hear that, “Unfortunately Sombra got the Crystal Heart and is kicking our butts.”
“Oh No! Wait…did you have anything to do with this?” she accuses.
“No…Ok yes, but I had a good reason,” you reply.
She facehoofs at this. “I don’t want to hear it, we have to get down there and stop that evil pony before it’s too late.”
“Alright, good plan.”
“But you and I are definitely going to talk after this. You’ve shown up yet again to a random crisis nopony else knew about.”
“Hey, I saved your life the last time,”
“True…” she begrudgingly says, “But on the other hoof, your weird dragon friend can’t take a hint and won’t leave my house.”
“Crackle?” you say surprised.
“Yes, she got it in her head that you would pick her up, and she refuses to go away.”
“OK, you can’t blame me for that one, she’s her own dragon.”
Twilight just sighs, “Alright, we’ll argue later, now hold on,” she says as she grabs your arm.
“N-no wait, I’ll just jump out the…” you start before she teleports in front of a battle between Sombra, the other Elements, Flash and Shining, while Spike, Cadance and Night Shade stay back.
“Well don’t just stand there, come on!” Twilight demands, while you try to undizzy yourself.
“I’m coming, I’m coming,” you tell her as she joins the battle.
You take note of the battle and see that it is a mostly physical one, since only Rarity and Twilight are able to use their magic against the Dark King. And still, he is not going down.
Cadance walks up to you with Nightshade and Spike.
“Bugze, I’m glad you’re here,” she says weakly, “but shouldn’t you help them?”
“I will, I’m just planning out my attack.”
You need to help punch him, but you need an extra oomph to put him down. You need a more powerful punch.
TheRutherford’s Comment
“Without Selena I can't use my Nightmare Cloak so there is no real way to give myself any more power. Too bad I don't have anything that can help with that like from those old timey cartoons… Hold on a tic!” you yell out before rummaging through the Inventory. Eventually you find it.
“Canned Crystal Spinach! I can eat this and become even stronger!”
“I don't think that will work,” Cadance says doubtfully.
“Of course it will. It always worked for the Sailor Pony.”
You quickly realize that you need a can opener, which you don't have.
“Nooooo! Defeated by a lack of can openers! Why?”
Suddenly a Pink Hoof appears in front of your face with a can opener.
“Just use this one!” chirps Pinkie.
“Thanks Pinkie!” you cheer and begin opening the key to your salvation.
“Pinkie, where did you get that from?” asks Cadance.
“Oh I always have can openers stashed away. In case of can related emergencies.”
“O...K....?” says Cadance, not as used to Pinkie’s antics as the rest.
While they talk, you open the can and lift it to your mouth, under your hood.
“Well here is to Spinach and all the good it can do. Maybe this will help convince Nightshade to eat her veggies,” you say as if toasting someling.
“No it won't Daddy,” says Nightshade pointedly.
You give her an incredulous look, before turning back to the can, “Anyway...”
You chug down the canned vegetable which taste better than you thought it would considering that it came from a thousand plus old can.
“Now for it to kick in.”
You wait for about five seconds for it to kick in to no avail.
“What's going on this always works in the cartoo-
You suddenly feel invigorated and extra strong as you hear music playing in your head.
You have unlocked Spinach Power-You gain a temporary increase in Strength, Coordination, Mental Fortitude, and even Luck when you consume Canned Spinach.
“Well Blow Me Down,” you say with an accent, before you rush forth into the middle of the battle.
Sombra, being busy fending off the others, doesn’t notice as you charge forth like a train until he feels your green fire encased falcon punch hit him right in the stomach, sending him flying back into the side of the palace.
“gggggooooohhhhh” he wheezes out since the wind was knocked out of him.
“What in tarnation?” cries out Applejack.
“Easy there HickiBilly, I got dis!” you say before you rush forth towards your downed foe.
“Why are you talking like a pirate?” asks Twilight.
“Sailor, not a pirate!” you yell back, closing the distance to Sombra.
“Oh, what hit m…” is all he gets out before you begin an ULTRA COMBO upon him.
All your moves now come equipped with a green flame encasing them, you chain the attacks, not letting up as you mercilessly pummel the King. Rapid Falcon punches, chained No Shadow Kicks, and Multiple Shorykens, and Stalliongrad Blizzards later and you have beaten him dizzy and confused.
He lashes out blindly with his magic and strikes you in the nose, causing you to punch him away and hold it.
“I-whaza-hail to the…” Sombra drunkenly says as he sways around.
Amazingly, during all that, the Crystal Heart stayed on his breastplate. You realize you need to loosen it up, maybe with something sharp.
You turn around and see all the others looking at you in awe. You don’t see anything sharp in sight…except…
BrownDog’s Comment
"H-hey, what the buck are you..." cries out Shining Armor as you pick him up.
"Returning the favor!" you say as you launch him like a torpedo at Sombra.
The former Dictator comes out of his beatdown funk, but is so stunned and confused by Shining Torpedo coming his way, he lets his guard down, and Shining's horn is able to stab Sombra in the chest right in the Crystal Heart, loosening it from his control. Sombra screams in pain, and Shining wobbles back towards the group holding his head.
“Bull’s-eye!” you roar out, before holding your own head as someling slaps it. You look back and see it is Cadance.
“Why did you do that?” she chides.
“What?! His horn was useless for magic, so I put it to good use,” you tell her, before looking back at the king.
“Now if you’ll excuse me…”
You then rush forth and begin to pound on him once more.
TheRutherford’s Comment
During your beatdown you manage to knock the Crystal Heart out of his magic grasp and it falls to the ground as you launch him through a house and down the street. As you come up to attack again, he lunges out at you with a hoof drawn back. You catch it and hold it back before you start to come off your Spinach trip.
“Oh no no no! Not now!”
Spinach Power has ended.
“Buck you lady luck,” you mutter before chuckling at the angry face of Sombra.
As the power and energy you used has gone out you start feeling the strain and soreness take their place. Sombra sneers at you as he jerks his hoof out of your grip and punches your face with the other.
“My turn,” he sneers as a layer of crystal covers his hoof like a gauntlet before he sends it smashing into your face with enough force to shatter the crystal and send you smashing into the Mane 6 like a bowling ball before charging after you.
Cadence is about to jump in when she spots the Crystal Heart. Seeing her chance to save everypony, Cadence grabs the Crystal Heart and runs to the palace with it.
“She got the Crystal Heart from Sombra! Look everypony! The Crystal Princess!” the Cyrstal Ponies all cheer out.
Sombra looks up from thrashing Applejack with your body with a look of panic on his face.
“NO!!!” he screams out as he tosses you away, dissipates into a shadow, and zips in front of Cadence, causing the alicorn to shriek in surprise, but Sombra uses this opportunity to grab the Crystal Heart from her before blasting her point-blank with a dark magic blast.
“Cadance!” you and the rest call out as she skids and smashes into a corner. Sombra presses the Crystal Heart into his chest and starts to merge with it once more, the Crystal Heart turning a dark shade of purple as his dark magic corrupts it, increasing his own power as his eyes glow solid green with power.
“Never Again AMORE!” he roars out as he conjurers a Crystal Spear, “NEVER AGAIN!” he roars as he throws the spear at her.
“NNNNNOOOOOO!!!!” you and countless others yell.
You all hear the sound of someling getting stabbed, but as you run forth, you see.
“SHINING!!!” Cadance cries out as she holds her husband who dove in front of her, the spear in his gut.
“Big Brother!” Twilight screeches.
You watch as they all gather around Shining, and you can’t tell if he’s alive or dead, as the one who did this to him chuckles darkly,
"Heheheh, so the foolish stallion threw away his life to protect a weakling like you? Pathetic, he would have made a good slave. Oh well, I'll just have to kill you all the-"
“No… NO!!!” you yell out as you make a beeline for the monster, but he just nonchalantly backhooves you away.
"Oh what's this? The 'Hooded Offender' was it? Ohh, you must be thrilled to see one of your enemies dead at your hooves. Don't you feel great to see his blood all over the groun-"
"YOU MOTHERBUCKER!" you cry out in you hate as you get back up and your hooves begin to have a dark mist swirl around it. "How could you? How could you kill him? He was Cadance's husband, the love of her life. And you killed him!"
"So? He was an obstacle to my plans so I got rid of h-"
"So....I'M GONNA KILL YOUR MOTHERBUCKING FLANK TO MAKE IT UP TO-Grah!" you yell in indignation before being stopped by a rising fire in your heart.
"Oh, is that so?" Sombra replies with smug disinterest "How will a weakling like you kill an all-powerful shadow god like-?"
His monologue is interrupted when a massive waves of Killer Intent start to radiate from you. Your hatred flows through and out of you as you feel the Nightmare Cloak forming… but something is different. The Power. The Rage. It’s gushing out of you too quickly!
“AAAHHH!!!” you cry out as the power floods you painfully, you can feel it trying to burst free. Suddenly a large demonic bat wing painfully bursts through your chitin shell and back of your cloak.
“Hoody!” Flutteshy cries out as she notices your transformation first.
Another wing bursts through your back causing you to let out another roar of enraged pain with enough force to shake everything nearby.
"WHAT IN TARNATION?!" Applejack yells as the rest of the Mane 6 look at you in terror as your mutation continues.
You look at your trembling hooves and see claws sprout from them and tusks start to jut out of your jaw. As you feel the Nightmare painfully transforming your body, one clear thought comes through to you as you feel your mind slipping into dark rage,
“NO! Selena! I have to stop! If I don't I-AAAAAHHHHHH!!!” before the pain, anger and power flood through you.
Recognizing this potential threat Sombra firmly throws a hoof forward into the ground, crystal-bending a massive crystal that levitates in front of him. He then uses his power to hurl the massive boulder at you and you're about to dodge out of the way when you see a dark filly running towards you. With the power surging through you, you can't hear what she's yelling, but you can see that the boulder would surely crush her too-
"Nightshade!" you yell as you use the last of your sanity to push her out of the way before the boulder crushes you.
"DADDY!" Nightshade cries out.
"Hmph, That takes care of one potnetial threat." Sombra smirks, "Now where was I-"
POV Change: Nightshade
As Ms. Twilight and Auntie Cadance try to fix Mr. Armor, you notice the others looking to where your daddy started fighting the Evil Pony. You notice a look of horror on their faces, and even on the Evil King’s as well.
Your daddy is writhing in pain as shadows begin coalescing around him and he cries out, and saying your Mommy’s name.
“Oh no, no no!” you cry out in realization as you rush towards him. Daddy had told you that he couldn’t use his Cloak powers while Mommy was sick because he could hurt her.
“DADDY! STOP! YOU’LL HURT MO-” you yell before he suddenly dashes forward and pushes you out of the way before being smashed by a giant crystal boulder.
"DADDY!!!" you scream as Sombra says something, but it's cut short as you all hear a monstrous roar and the crystal boulder explodes into millions of tiny pieces as you throw up a hoof to protect your face.
When you all look, you see a terrifying figure in your father's place. Six Nightmare Tails flail wildly around him, medium-sized tusks jut out of his face, sharp claws upon his hooves, two shadowy looking wings and he is bigger now. Bigger even than Applebloom’s brother. A jagged line runs down his chest and pulses red as does his scarred eye with the other glowing its usual orange. His breathing is ragged and sounds like a grunting beast.
“What sorcery is this?” Sombra asks with a quiver in his voice.
“Daddy! Listen to me, you have to stop using the cloak or Mommy will…” you try one more time to stop it, but he suddenly charges at Sombra with an animalistic roar. Sombra manages to revert into a shadow in time and Bugze ends up barreling through him and into a crowd of Crystal Ponies, knocking them everywhere.
Sombra crystal-bends a pillar of sapphire after him, but he whirls around and smash it with a Falcon Punch before charging at him again.
"This again?" Sombra smugly states as Bugze blindly barrels through his shadowy form and smashes into a building, "You can't hurt what you can't touc-ACK!"
Sombra's gloating is cut short as a Nightmare Tail (NOTE: The Nightmare Tail can still grab and hurt Sombra even when he's in shadow mode) lashes out and grabs the tyrant by the neck before whipping him high into the air, then slingshotting to viciously smash Sombra into the ground face-first. When Sombra gets back up, he's suddenly rammed through a building by Bugze as Crystal Ponies try to flee the building in terror, some getting hurt by the debris.
“He’s doggone lost it!” Applejack yelps.
“He’s hurting innocent ponies trying to hurt that jerk! We got to stop them!” says Rainbow.
"Wh-what has that evil witch done now!” Fluttershy yells angrily.
As your daddy continues recklessly fighting the evil shadow tyrant in a berserker rage, you realize one thing,
I have to stop this! I have to stop Daddy! If I don’t Mommy, the Elements, Spike and Everyling else will get hurt!
“Buck You Lady Luck!” you groan.
WHAT THE BUCK DO YOU DO?
Talk like a pirate day is today. Hooray for sailors and pirates. Oh, and Nightshade must use hugs! Hugs make everything better!
"Daddy! Noo!" Shout Nightshade but Bugzee seems to ignore her as he begin to destroy things
"I knew it, he was a monster!" Say Applejack
The others are going to agree when Nightshade tackle Twilight
"Please! Save him! Save my daddy!" Say Nightshade
"I... What do you want me to do? He is a mons..." Begin to say Twilight but was interjected by Nightshade
"No! He is my daddy, he could not be the best daddy a little filly could have, with all his bad luck, put me in danger sometimes and being wanted but she is my daddy and I love him" Comment Nightshade
Is then that she begin to follow the trail of destruction of Bugzee before the others say anything
=====================
POV Main Six
=====================
At the same time, Twilight look down as the others look at her.
"What? What do you want me to do? You could see how is him, I can't stop that... I can't stop him, I don't know why is her calling him daddy but all of you remember what he did. He must brainwashed her. Right? Right?" Ask Twilight
"Emmm... Err... Ummm..." No one seemed that could answer
"And even so... Why ask me? what can I do? I... I failed, the crystal empire is going to be destroyed... Princess Celestia is never going to forgive me" Say Twilight
"No!" Say Shining that seemed to recover conscience even when he was with a big injury
"Shiny, no! You need to rest!" Say Cadence
"What?" Ask Twilight
"I say, No. You still can win, you are Twilight Sparkle, element of magic and the best sister I could have. If someone can save this situation, it's you." Say Shining
"He is right, You saved our lifes many times" Say Applejack
"Yeah, even if your plans seem crazy, you are the one that have plans! Let's kick their ass" Say Rainbow Dash
"Yes! I can even make later a party! We recovered our nemesis from a crazy episode" Say Pinkie
"I... Okay girls... Now we need a plan, and I think I know what to do, let's go girls" Say Twilight as she begin to walk away followed by the others
"I'm going to stay so I can heal Shiny" Say Cadence as the others leave
==========================
POV Nightshade
==========================
"I need to do something to save daddy, but what can I do?" Ask Nightshade worried as she follow the trail of destruction
Just then Nightshade can see Bugzee fighting Sombra, if it could be called fighting to Bugzee just destroying houses around as he try to catch Sombra
"Bugzee SMASH!" Shout Bugzee in the nightmare cloak
"Daddy, please stop! Don't do that!" Shout Nightshade but Bugzee seem to ignore him
"What destruction, what power... All lost in a mindless beast, but maybe what this beast need is a master" Laugh Sombra as he try to conjure a collar around Bugzee but everytime he try, his magic seem to be absorbed
"What is this? How is this possible?" Groan Sombra
Just then Nightshade seem to have a idea.
"Papa wa mō motte inai baai wa mochiron, tabun kare wa seijō ni modori, teishi shimasu! (Of course, if daddy don't have a enemy anymore, maybe he return to normal and stop)" Exclaim happy Nightshade.
As she say that, she decide to get ready to make a surprise attack to Sombra. Sombra was looking to Bugzee and was not looking around so Nightshade waited the perfect moment and tried to hit him with a magic beam
"Gaah! Who dare attack me? The great King of the crystal empire!" Shout Sombra as he try to find who attacked him
Meanwhile Nightshade search somewhere to hide herself before Sombra could find her, and is then that she could see a group of cardboard boxes. As she remember a couple of stories of Bugzee, she put a couple of Cardboard boxes in her inventory and hide under one.
Cardboard Boxes added to Nightshade Inventory
Nightshade gain ability: Hide under Cardboard Box: Make you invisible for certain enemies. WARNING: Certain Enemies can detect you
Sombra look around but could only see trash, all the crystal ponies around managed to flee and by a strange miracle there was no one under the rubish so he was supossed to be alone with Bugzee. Just then Bugzee throw a big roar that could be compared to the Royal Canterlot Voice making Sombra look at him but as he looked again to Bugzee, Nightshade shoot another beam from under the cardboard box.
"Gaaah! Again! Who is so stupid to attack me? I! The great King Sombra, the owner of the crystal hearth, one of the most powerfull magical items!" As he ask, silence is his answer as it seems that no one answer.
Meanwhile Nightshade was ready to fire another shoot, waiting for Sombra to don't look.
-------------
Any error, I edit.
Yeah, uh oh. Hopefully, Bugze can make good his escape on this one when he cools off.
Remind daddy that you're there, that you're more or less safe, and that Sombra is defeated without the crystal heart anyway. Or at least, try to tell him that.
Cadance continues to care for her wounded husband in her arms with her magic, thus making her unavailable for this chapter/episode.
Sombra uses his new form to summon Crystal Golems to attack you, but you effortlessly smash through them in your berserkekr rage.
During the battle, a large piece of debris almost crushes Nightshade but is saved when Fluttershy grabs the little filly and flies her out of the way. They almost get crushed by another crystal when suddenly one of the Hooded Offender's Nightmare Tails lashes out and grabs the mare and filly out of the way before gently putting them down and joining the rest of the body in fighting Sombra.
Fluttershy then cries how happy she is that Nightshade and Hoody/Bugze/BST are still alive to Nightshade and they're both happy that even in a feral berserker state, there's still a little bit of Bugze in there keeping his baby safe (every time Bugze rams, throws, or hits Sombra, it's always in a direction opposite of where Nightshade is).
As the Hooded Offender charges forward again, Sombra crystal bends a a series of crystal spears that impale you in multiple places, but this only temporarily slows him down before he smashes the spire with his nightmare tails (the wound instantly healing) and continues attacking.
Sombra notices your chest wound and exploits it by bending a crystal spear at you that tears it open causing you to roar in pain before Sombra seeps his smoke into it to cause more damage, but in a rage you wrap your two front hooves in Nightmare Tails before wailing on Sombra with a barrage of rib-breaking hooks before launching him into the air with a jaw-breaking Shoryuken and then follow up with a Falcon Missile to the spine.
Sombra crystal-bends a wall of diamond in front of him which you can't smash through in spite of wailing on it, but then you unleash the Psycho Break Smasher (Upgraded Psycho Crusher where you launch yourself spinning forward while covered in the Nightmare Cloak to smash through anything in your way (even buildings and mountains) in a large streak of midnight flames) to smash through the diamond wall and smash Sombra through more buildings.
Eventually you and Sombra find yourselves in the deserted "Projects" area of the Crystal Empire where Sombra decides to end this battle with his ultimate attack. As you barrel through Sombra, he gives off large swirly plumes of smoke around you that cover the area in a midnight-black mist that block your vision before launching into the sky while transforming into three balls of midnight smoke that swirl into the sky. Once they reach a high enough altitude they collide, causing the smoke to re-materialize back into Sombra as he back-flips in the air with a smirk before covering himself in a crystal shell and uses Smoke Thrusters to blast himself down to Earth like a missile and cries out
"Tyrant's Purge!"
Before igniting the mist in a magical explosion upon impact directly on your back that utterly levels the Projects.
With the smoke clears, Sombra smugly believes he has won, but then you burst forward out of the ground (with only two broken wings and a smashed off tusk as a result of Sombra's super move) and knock him into the air with Shadow Shoryuken. While Sombra is in the air, you turn yourself into a nightmare mist and swirl up at the airborne tyrant before you start rapidly teleporting out of the smoke around Sombra and strike at him with hooves and tails, increasing speed and frequency with each teleport. After a frenzied barrage of hits from every direction, you use 4 tails to hold Sombra in place before raising the 5th and 6th tails and slamming them into his face to launch yourself into the air. When the 4 tails are at maximum stretch, you wrap the remaining two around your rear limbs and slingshot into Sombra and declare,
"Lunatic Frenzy!"
Before smashing into Sombra's chest with a massively powerful double-stomp that launches the Crystal Heart right out of his chest and causes blood to spurt out of his mouth as the tyrant is sent smashing down through the Crystal Castle.
FINISHING QUOTE
Sombra: "I had the Crystal Heart... I was a god... You're just an insect! How could this be?!"
Bugze: "I... Bug? You... BUG FOOD!!!"

"Aright we will help him under one condition." Twilight demaind looking at the filly.
"What is the condition?" Nightshade asked
please the condition isn't worse? nightsade thought
"He comes with us back to Pony vile" Twilight said
yelp it's worse. nightshade thought
"WAIT WHAT WHY!" Everypony asked in unison
"Are you loco in the coco Twilight?" Pinke asked
"Look every pony as much as I disagree with the idea. I would rather take him to Canterlot and put him behind bars but this is our only change of getting some information out. For starters why is he here? Who is he under that hood? Why do we keep bumping in to him? Where did he learn those spells? and lastly who is the mother of this family?" Twilight said
"Maybe it's just lady luck that brings him here and we keep on seeing him?" Rarity asked
"Twilight I know his real name it's Bug-"
"Time for some rest shining" Cadence interpreted knocking him out with a sleep spell before relieving his name.
That was a close one Cadence thought
"Ok... that was wielder? And I'm not convinced we should help." Rainbow dash said
"He will tell us if your colt friend is still alive what was his name? Oh yes BST you have been crying for hours every since he was gone." twilight said
"What no I wasn't" Rainbow replied
-Flash Back-
At Rainbow dash's house you can hear her crying for her cloud house.
"I lost my colt friend I didn't get the chances to ask him out on a date. Or even got in the same bad as him so we could get down to business before Applejack." Rainbow dash cried
-Flash back end-
"Fine we all will help him" rainbow dash said before she has a chance to open the flood gates again
every pony else nodded in agreement.
"Aright then you save my dad we will go with you." Nightshade said this time excepting the offerer
"Good know lets go!" twilight said as she leads the charge.
Don't worry Hoody I will look after you and her. Fluttershy thought
When we get him I get to throw that party that I always what to throw for him. Pinky thought
He better be alive big guy. If BST is dead you better sleep with one eye open. Rainbow dash though
I have a bad feeling this. Apple jack though
I hope he doesn't use me as a shield again. Rarity thought
Maybe this might be my test to forgive me enemy? Twilight thought
My daddy is going to ground me for this. Nightshade thought.
My reaction to Phase 4 Bugze: Guess who is going to have to learn meditation after this settles down.
I like what Kropsling66 and Kichi were suggesting.
After Nightshade and the others finish making deals to help Bugze, She looks where her daddy went super beast and sees Bugze's saddle bags, power glove, and his Luna Plushie lying on the ground. She thinks:
Is there anything of Daddy's that will help me calm him down? Wait if I use the plushie he should fall asleep and then he can't hurt anypony. If I can make the Shadow Meanie see it too and make him fall asleep, will that count at fixing the problem. Plus if I do it before the Deadly Six help, then we won't have to go with them and I won't get grounded by Daddy! Everypony wins! And if we have to, we can leave while they deal with Shadow Meanie.
Nightshade: I know what to do! I'll save Daddy and Mommy from being hurt!
She rushes to Bugze's stuff and puts it all in her saddle bags.

Alright Nightshade, you've got to stop your daddy and save everypony. From what Ms. Cadance was trying to do, you need the Crystal Heart.
Which means you have to get it off the Sombra guy while the Elements distract Daddy.
This is gonna be tough.
But you won't be doing it alone.
"Spike! Spike!" you yell as you run to the teary eyed dragon as he watches his Big Brother figure hanging on.
"W-What is it?" he asks.
"I need you to help me get the Crystal Heart away from Sombra! Once he's defeated, then Da-The Offender will stop fighting him."
"I-I don't know if I can Shadow...I'll just fail again and everypony will get hurt..." he says sadly.
"What are you talking about?"
"Twilight told me to take the heart. She said I had to be the one to save the day...but I fell. And because I fell, that El Hunko guy caught me, and the Crystal Heart got taken by Sombra and now everypony is getting hurt...it's all my fault..." he sobs.
You see the dragon getting down, so you put your hoof on his shoulder
"No no no Spike, if anything it's my fault," you tell the dragon.
"How?"
"I'm the one who had da-El Hunko catch you. I was scared that you were going to get hurt, and he caught you because I yelled out your name. It's not your fault! I sure as Buck wasn't going to lose a friend, so quit blaming yourself and help me save the day!" you drill.
He sniffles once more before wiping his eyes.
"You're right. I'm sorry. Thank you." He then looks at you in determination. "I lost a friend recently. She was...awesome." You then look at him in sympathy remembering that he still thinks you as a Unicorn is dead. "She was cool, tough, determined, and really really cute. You remind me a lot of her," he says causing a blush to come to your cheeks.
"And I won't lose any more friends! So what's the plan?"
You cough to get your mind refocused, and say "Well, You're a Dragon Right?
"Ya,"
"Well let's go light a fire under that Sombra Buck! The quicker he's dealt with, the quicker the Offender will stop...I hope,"
During the battle, All the Elements try to subdue your rampaging father, and as they engage him, Sombra slips away by becoming smoke and gets on a roof. He watches as your father sweeps them aside harshly, knocking over and hurting countless civilians as he looks for the king in mindless fury.
Sombra chuckles and begins to charge up an attack with multiple crystal spears, intending to take out both your dad and the Elements in one attack.
"Death to my enemies!" he roars as he tries to bend the Crystals...but they don't move.
"What the buck?" he says as he tries to throw the floating crystals, but fails.
Suddenly, the spears launch themselves at him making a cage around him.
"What is going on?! Who can surpass My crystal bending?" he cries out before the crystals explode, launching him further away from Bugze and the mares.
After getting up from the attack, Sombra looks around in confusion, before seeing you standing before him, gritting your teeth.
"I don't know," you tell him, "How about an even more kickflank Bender?"
"No one is greater than I!" he roars as he sends a large crystal at you, to which you stop in midair.
You then glare at him angrily as your eyes begin to glow white.
"Guess again Buckface!" you yell as you launch the rock back, to which he dodges.
"Impossible!" he cries out.
"No it's not. You made me angry! You hurt daddy, you hurt Mr. Armor! And because of that, my Mommy might get even more sick! And it's all your fault!" you yell as your eyes glow even more fiercely. You then bend a piece of road from behind him and slam it into the back of his head, making him fall closer to you.
He gets up and glares.
"Why you insolent little... You're the one who threw that ungrateful Marsupial in my face!" he yells pointing at the scratches on his snout as he recognizes you.
"Yeah, but he didn't finish his job. Your face still looks like a butt!" you taunt.
His eyes slit as he fires a blast of dark magic at you, to which you dodge.
You then earth bend a fist from the ground which uppercuts him into the air. Launching yourself upwards, you Falcon Kick him to the ground.
As he lays there, you earthbend a boulder and are about to crush him, but he turns to smoke to get away.
He stays as a smokey spectre and laughs at you as you bend crystals and boulders through him, to no effect.
"I am going to end you little Filly!" he yells, sending out a wave of dark magic which grazes one of your wings.
"Ouch!" you yell out as you fall to the ground.
He takes this moment to grab you by your arms and hold you up to his face.
"Stupid little pegasus! You can't catch the wind!"
"Oh I'm not a pegasus you idiot," you say as you take the enchantment off of your horn for a moment, "I'm an Alicorn!"
"WHAT?!" he yells in shock and surprise.
"And I know I can't catch the wind, but HE can!" you say smugly.
"Wha-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!." he begins before roaring in pain as a large plume of Green Fire engulfs his smoke.
Spike continues the barrage, giving the smokey king no chance of escape as he drops you, with you becoming a pegasus once again.
Before Spike's flames can consume him entirely, he becomes physical once again, earning a few burns on his body, before throwing up a crystal shield.
"THAT'S FOR MY BIG BRO YOU FLANKHOLE!" Spike roars out before firing his breath again, heating up the crystal Sombra had encased himself in.
"Good job Spike," you yell out as you hug him.
"N-no problem," he says blushing.
"Alright, cover me!" you yell as you rush forth and pick up the crystal casing, and break it open.
"You little monster!" yells the singed king. "I will personally tear off your wings and-*CRUNCH* EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
He whimpers as you kick him right in the nards with a flame encased hoof, causing Spike to wince in sympathy.
"Wrong! I'm going to be the one ripping things off!" you growl.
"OH SWEET CELESTIA!" cries Spike holding his own nards.
"No, I meant the Heart Spike! The Heart!"
"Oh...that makes more sense," he says as he stands by your side over the king.
Sombra tries to run, but you bend the crystal cage around his chest and start prying the Crystal Heart from it. Good thing Daddy had loosened it up for you.
You get it partially off, before your Father bursts through a nearby building and tackles the near defenseless tyrant into the sky.
"DANGIT DADDY! Come on Spike! Before it's too late!" you yell as you and the dragon rush forth to where they landed
Welp, the others have already said what I wanted to say, besides maybe one thing... what if the Horde also send some members to investigate the strange new city somehow?
Maybe even an important person like, I don't know, one of the leaders?
-----
As Nightshade climbs through the hole in a house her father made, she feels as if someone's spying on her. She looks around, and sees a suspicious hooded pony looking at her. When it realises she sees it, it turns around and runs away.
After the battle it could be funny if Twilight say something around
6449622
As you ferally dart your head around looking for Sombra, suddenly a Rainbow blur hits you in the face. Before you can roar you're hit in the face with a trio of blue kicks before you hear a raspy tomboyish voice taunting from above,
"Up here ugly!"
You lash out your nightmare tails only for her to dodge them.
"Hah! You have wings but you can't even fly? How path- WOAH!"
But the speed of your tails increase causing her to noticeably struggle more to dodge them until,
*splat*
Pinkie throws some pies into your face, you shake it off only for your cleared vision to be greeted with one white and a pair of orange hooves (Rarity and Applejack team punching/bucking you) that hit you under the chin so hard that it knocks you onto your back. Before you can get up, you feel a lasso around your neck and restraining magic on your limbs. You try to lash out with your Nightmare Tails only for Rainbow Dash to dive in and kick you in the face, keeping the attention of the tails on her as Pinkie Pie helps Applejack with the lasso and Rarity assists Twilight with the restraining spells.
"Keep it up girls, we almost have him!"
Having enough of this, you let out an angry roar as your tails whirl and flail around you like a demented propeller to knock the ponies away and you quickly follow it up by getting to your feet and making 5 of your tails lash out to grab the disoriented Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight and start banging them together repeatedly like crash cymbals before spinning them around you like a swing ride and using the momentum to violently smash them all onto a pie cart, shattering it in an explosion of pastries and filling.
You then tear into the ground with your claws and tear out a savage piece of the crystal road over your head before advancing angrily on the five pie-covered ponies who look up and terror as you're about to smash them when suddenly Fluttershy flies in front of you with a full-powered Stare and declares,
"HOW DARE YOU MAKE HOODY HURT MY FRIENDS!!!"
The stare has an effect on you and you feel like you're regaining some of your senses when...
"NIGHTSHADE!" you roar ferally as you tear apart the boulder with an enraged roar as you ignore Fluttershy and blindly charge towards where you heard Nightshade cry out in pain because even as a feral mindless berserker NOPONY HURTS YOUR BABY!
