The shadow caused dark crystals to be formed in the ground and the shadow assembled himself to the form of a smirking King Sombra. The Crystal Ponies cowered and hid in fear of their feared usurper king. “Nice to see you all my slaves, your king has returned!” King Sombra cackled darkly as he looked around him.
Cadence gathered together Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike into her force field spell. Shining Armor determinedly striked a spell against King Sombra which seemed to have little effect.
Tempest herself was trying to use blasts from her horn to blast at the Crystals. The Crystal managing to break after every few spell. The Equestrians saw that right outside of Cadence’s force field was Skystar who was whistling herself as if waiting for something to happen.
She grinned as she and the others all saw a purple blur flying right out of the tower of the Palace. King Sombra was taken aback as the blur hit him sending him blast.
“A little speeding attack spell I acquired from one of the Lands that we annexed.” said Twilight casually standing on the ground looking at King Sombra grumbling as he got himself up and holding the Crystal Heart with her telekinesis. The Equestrians were shocked to see that Twilight was without her cloak (left at the Palace before she flew out) and saw that she clearly had wings.
“.....I told you so, I told you so...” Skystar gloated the others in an uncharacteristic sing song voice. They were too shocked to make any sort of response.
“King Sombra, is it? Let me introduce myself; I am Queen Twilight Sparkle the founder and monarch of the Harmony Empire. It’s my job to look out for my lands as well as take care of evil tyrants like you and then I either annex the tyrants’ land or put someone good in charge. I am here now to tell you that I will be accepting your surrender.” Twilight told in an incredibly casual voice with a smirk for the situation that was happening.
“SURRENDER? SURRENDER? I WILL NOT SURRENDER! FOR THIS INSULT, I WILL TEAR YOU APART AND THEN I WILL SEND MY SLAVES AS AN ARMY TO RAVAGE AND DESTROY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR LANDS!!!!!!!!” King Sombra thundered furiously charging at Twilight.
He was then caught in a green circle spell and he seemed to be screaming in agony to the shock of those nearby. “A spell designed to show great discomfort and pain to those born of the shadows like King Sombra.” Tempest explained casually to the Equestrians who shielding their eyes, except for Shining Armor who was angry at the thought of Twilight learning such spells.
“Do you know what will be the worst thing for you Sombra?” Twilight asked King Sombra walking towards the green circle so she could stare at him face to face. “The worst part is that after I am done here freeing the Crystal Empire from your tyrannical rule, I will probably forget all about you. You will just be another name on a long list of tyrants I have beaten, by this time tomorrow I may not spare you another thought. You will remember today as the day that I gave you your final defeat but to me this will just be another normal day.” Twilight taunted him causing Sombra to scream in rage.
Twilight then magically magnified her voice and shouted for the entire kingdom to hear “Listen to me Crystal Ponies, I am Queen Twilight Sparkle of the Harmony Kingdom!!! I have the Crystal Heart but to use its magic I will need your help! Soldiers of the Harmony Guard please help, feel the love in your hearts and use it to power the Crystal Heart!” Twilight shouted through the spell.
The Crystal Ponies then nervously all went out and joined by the Harmony Guard as well as Grubber. They then began focusing on the love of their hearts as Cadence let go of her force field. The Equestrians joined in deciding that Twilight needed their help.
Everyone started glowing and the Crystal Heart flew into the air powered by the magic and let out a magical blast causing everyone to started glowing and sparkle. The Equestrians were astonished and the Crystal Ponies began cheering when they saw King Sombra screaming as he blew up leaving behind his horn.
Twilight went and broke the Horn with her hoof. She then faced Tempest with a smile and told her “you look cute sparkling like that.”
Tempest grunted as she replied “it’s only because you’re my queen that you will get away with saying that!” Twilight smirked as she giggled.
Skystar then excitedly put on some music to celebrate as the Crystal Ponies surrounded Twilight cheering on her.
Twilight then faced the Equestrians and gulped as they then now had the chance to pull her into a hug. After a few minutes they let go and Twilight sighed telling them with a smile “I guess there is no use putting it off anymore, you say we can go to the Palace to talk?”
They wanted to waste no time but felt they could use the time to relax after what happened and calm their nerves. Twilight motioned Skystar, Grubber and Tempest to follow her inside to join them.
They had a lot to go over...
This promises to be interesting.
Oh dayum, action-corn Twilight Spankle kicking flank!
nooooo, there was hugs, and a smile! </3
I mean....sweet catharsis points probably, but still!
Good chapter.
Considering that shiny probably just labeled Twilight as a dark tyrant? Duh!
Holy Shit Twilight is a badass I can't wait to read more.
Predictions for next chapter: Shining Armor will continue to be worst brother/captain/husband/prince and not learn anything. Everyone else will ask for forgiveness, only for Twilight to either reject them or accept them until Shining does something stupid. Its so sad that Shining always determines his relationship with Cadance because of his relationship with Twilight.
Eh, I just hope Twilight will fully be reasonable...though at the same time, maybe Tempest will take the stage in the next chapter. It'll be funny if Twilight just asks her to tell them everything they got wrong.
Otherwise, not a bad chapter. I just wish it was longer.
ok now it time to start get some questions, answer and have a very panic twilight fearfully of stuff that wont happen.
I think it would be funny if Sunset Shimmer was an alicorn and part of the Harmony guard.
I can see the report. "Queen twilight defeated King Sombra with the help of the citizens and the crystal heart. She chose Sunset Shimmer whose an alicorn too. I couldn't stand that pony in charge. Even waiting she gave another pony another chance for stealing. She kicked us out and band Equestria from the Crystal empire" Candace said.
A letter appears.
That's right. I did several things you failed. To prove I did it why not count the statues?
Leave my kingdom alone and we won't have a problem. It's all depends on you and Shining Armor.
Queen Twilight Sparkle of the Harmony kingdom.
Anyways the others don't realize it but Twilight has all the cards.
... hmmm...
Too short.
i'm really hoping she banishes all of them from the borders of her empire and then adds the traditional stinger of high tariffs and no peace treaty.
No, it's because she is Twilight and you really like her
Goddammit starlight.......
or tirex my money is on him....
9018295
My money’s on Shining Armor.
9018567
and i'll pray that cadence or celestia (with small chance) or luna knock some sense out of him....along with his ass...
I personally think rainbow will screw things over. After her is shining and they pinkie.
500,000 bits on either Shining Armor, Rainbow Dash, or Starlight Glimmer ruining the next chapter.
10/10
Truly an interesting idea written amazingly well, so far the only major problem I have is that we haven't learned anything about what twilight was doing before becoming queen. A very minor problem I have is I feel the fight with sombra was a bit rushed but that really all the issues I have.
9018599
I dont think Pinkie would. As long as everypony has a smile, then shes happy.
9017018
Shining Armor, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Celestia, and Applejack? Yes she would. Cadence, Fluttershy, and Pinkie? Not really.
9041399
fluttershy and pinkie are no more innocent then the rest.
9041590
Well look at it this way. Yes they are far from innocent, but nowhere near as guilty as the others. Fluttershy at the very least is the least guilty.
Plus you are talking to a person that hates the infamous 7 alot.
9041601
yes but right now you have the lot of them coming on running purely off assumptions which we can pretty much guarantee are all wrong, there also coming in a political means remember, and it's quite clear well cadence fluttershy and pinkie aren't the same level of stupid as the rest, they still don't understand equestrias not entering the situation from a position of power, there the weaker party here. and well you might argue fluttershy, pinkies shown a distinct lack of manners or caring that normally might make her character endeering, but as the movie showed, could also make her inept to the point of disaster.
equestria clearly is so used to being top dog in everything they do, that i genuinely hope this ends with equestria finding out there are times when there authority means jack shit.
9041626
True.
9041394
My bet about pinkie is less about her screwing up with twilight. It's about tempest. Also, I know it's less likely. That's why she is number 3.
'angry she learned that type of spell' uh.. shining? it's a spell designed specifically for those like sombra...how is that bad? lol can't wait to see how he defends that argument in next chapter
9045360
Oh because it's scary looking green fire so of course it's gotta be evil. All those poor shadow creatures!

Sarcasm detected.
But for me, it was Tuesday.

I know where you got that from.
