The Return of the Crystal Empire

Author's Note:

For some reason I felt really productive, so y'all can have this early instead of the projected one villain a month. Here, have the sequel to the sequel.

I regret nothing, guys. This series is so fun to write LMAO

OP Twilight go brrrr

“Are you sure you don’t want me to go as well, sister? They could use my help.”

“Twilight and her friends have this. Besides, they have our niece and Shining Armor there as well.”

“The Empire’s magic is powerful. We cannot let it fall again.”

“I know. But we must have faith in Twilight to-”

“We both know she’s just going to blow Sombra up.”

“I have faith that she won’t. She’ll do it the right way, this time.”

“Bah, sister, you’ve grown soft. I wish I could go. The glory of battle is something I wish to relish in again.”

“Luna, really?”

“What? I’d like to watch young Twilight blow that dark king up!”

“LUNA!”


Twilight Causes the Demise of King Sombra

By iAmSiNnEr


An evil laugh filled the sky as Cadance’s love barrier cracked, the shadowy form of King Sombra striking it again and again.

“I have to find the Crystal Heart!” Shining Armor exclaimed. “It’s the only way to stop him!”

“No, you stay here with Cadance,” Twilight ordered. “She needs you, Shining Armor. I'll retrieve the Heart.”

“Let's do this!” Rainbow exclaimed. “Together we can-”

“No, Dash,” Twilight cut across her. “I've been trying to figure out how I'm meant to pass Celestia's test. Retrieving the Crystal Heart must be it, and I must do it without your help. But there is something else you can do.”

“Name it.” Rainbow grinned. “I’ll get it done, Twi.”

“You and the rest of our friends have to keep the Faire going,” Twilight told her.

“What? With that thing moving into the Empire?” Rainbow blurted out. “Isn’t it safer to evacuate the Faire?”

“The whole purpose of the Crystal Faire is to lift the spirits of the Crystal Ponies, so they can activate the Crystal Heart,” Twilight explained.

“Yeah, so?”

“If the Crystal Ponies find out that King Sombra is trying to take over the Empire again, their spirits are gonna be anything but lifted.” Twilight continued. “It won't matter if I find the Crystal Heart. They won't be able to make it work. You have to keep them happy here at the Faire.”

“Keep the Faire going and the Crystal Ponies' spirits high. Done and done!” Rainbow saluted, and flew off to join the rest of their friends.

“Twily, be careful.” Shining Armor cautioned, before galloping off to rejoin Cadance.


“It’s him who needs to be careful,” Twilight muttered once Shining Armor was out of earshot. She glanced around, then started galloping to the Crystal Palace.


“She’s doing what?!” Spike exclaimed.


“If my theories are right,” Twilight told herself as she galloped. “The Heart should be in the basement…”

“Wait, Twilight!” Spike shouted. “I’m coming with you.” Twilight dug in her hooves, and skidded to a halt.

“You can't. I have to retrieve the Crystal Heart by myself.” Twilight shook her head, before resuming her gallop.

“I know. I promise I won't lift a claw to help you!” Spike assured her.

“Not a claw, Spike,” Twilight sighed as they entered the castle. “I think I know where he hid the Heart.”

“The castle?” Spike asked.

“The king would've been counting on the fact that nopony would dare come looking for it here. They'd have been too afraid to even try.” Twilight explained.

“I hope you’re right.” Spike said.

“I know I’m right,” Twilight replied confidently.


As Twilight finally reached the bottom of the stairs, she was delighted to see a door in front of her. “This must lead to the Crystal Heart!” She smirked. “I was right!” Using her magic, she reached out to dug the door open, but it dodged aside.

“Ugh, really?” She rolled her eyes. “Well, whatever, time to use dark magic again…” She sighed and fired a ray of black-colored magic at the door, and it stopped moving and swung open. She peeked inside the door to see Celestia standing there looking disapprovingly at her.

“Yeah, no,” Twilight shook her head and closed the door. “Illusion magic. Did he really think I’d fall for it?”

“Twiiiiiilight!” Spike’s voice came down the stairs as he descended them. “You alright? I know you told me to wait-” he blinked as he reached the bottom, the door’s effect striking him as it swung open by its own.

“Ponyville?! Well, how did I get... No! I don't wanna go! Please, Twilight, don't make me!” Spike begged. Twilight growled and slammed the door close, causing Spike to shake his head in bewilderment as the door’s effects were removed.

“King Sombra's dark magic. A doorway that leads to your worst fear.” Twilight explained. “Maybe you should come with me this time.” A ray of light magic sprang from her horn to strike the door, and this time it opened to reveal yet another staircase.

“What’s there?” Spike asked.

“Stairs. Lots and lots of stairs.” Twilight shrugged. “Let’s just use the gravity spell then slide down the top of the stairs. It’d work, I think?”

Focussing, she cast the gravity spell, and both of them flipped upside down to land on the ceiling of the stairs, Spike hanging on for dear life. “Well, this is new.” He commented, once he had gotten his bearings.

“Let’s go!” Twilight grinned as they started sliding down the stairs, or rather, sliding up the stairs. Before long, they were at the top, and Twilight quickly cancelled the spell out before they went flying into the sky.

“The Heart!” Spike exclaimed, just as Cadance’s love barrier broke, Sombra finally managing to break past it. “No! Sombra broke past the barrier!”

“Spike, back up,” Twilight ordered. “I have a plan.”

“What do you mean?” Spike gestured with a claw. “The Heart’s right there! Let’s grab it and go help the Crystal Ponies!”

“It’s definitely booby-trapped,” Twilight explained. “We have little time. Here’s what I’m going to do…”


“Hahahaha!” Sombra laughed as he landed on the platform on which the Crystal Heart was on. As he did so, his form shrunk down into a haughty unicorn stallion clad in silver armor. “Long live the king!” He strode towards the Heart confidently, cancelling the spells he had set there just in case someone found the Heart. “The Heart is mine! ALL OF THEM WILL BECOME MY SLAVES!”

He never got to the Heart. As soon as he stepped within two metres of the Crystal Heart, his world burst in a crescendo of flames and explosions.


“Yes!” Twilight cheered once she saw her traps had activated. “It worked!”


“You sure that’s not gonna break the Heart?” Spike peered past the smoke from the explosions, emerging from their hiding place.

“Ninety-nine percent sure, Spike,” Twilight said confidently. “Here, let me clear the smoke.” She flicked her horn, and the smoke clear to reveal the Crystal Heart, intact, and the only thing remaining of King Sombra. A burnt and blackened crown.

“Don’t tell anyone what I did,” Twilight winked. “I’m not supposed to be blowing up any more ponies.”

“Gotcha,” Spike winked back. “But I get to be the hero.”

“Deal.”


“Sister,” Luna addressed Celestia. “We both know she blew Sombra up. He couldn’t have just disappeared.”

“Ugh,” Celestia slammed her head on the table. “I know.” she mumbled. “Should we still give her the book?”

“Yes,” Luna nodded. “I want to see what she can blow up as an alicorn.”

“LUNA! THIS IS WHY I NEVER WANT YOU TWO TO MEET!”

“Pfft. Spoilsport. She’s still getting the book.”

“Fine.”


“And I think I’ll pay her a visit to learn her explosive spells.”

Celestia slammed her head into the table again. “I live with explosive idiots,” she muttered.

First.

I can't wait for Twily to give Tirek an h-bomb enema.

Hah! That was great!

“Yes,” Luna nodded. “I want to see what she can blow up as an alicorn.”

Me too!

Explosions at the right enemies cant do wonders

God i love this Luna and Twilight, Truly i am looking forward to more world Class bangs form them:pinkiecrazy:, now i just want to see them go out and blow up stuff

“Yes,” Luna nodded. “I want to see what she can blow up as an alicorn.”

Yay! (Singsong) Twi gets a bombing friend!!!

I mean, Tirek was the one time she actually went straight to murder in canon and it didn't work out very well for her...

I love this series and I can't wait to see more!!! :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Technically Twilight didn't blow up Sombra he blew himself up. If he hadn't tried to grab the heart nothing would've happened but where's the fun in that

10983974 If Twilight keeps going as she has been by the time Tirek shows up she'll have plenty of experience unless the villains decide to get smart and start surrendering

This whole series is basically Twilight being the Doctor...

I LOVE IT!

This series is hilarious! Do I even need to ask for "Moar" again for all of us at this point? Also, Place your bets on what will happen to Tirek. Will he:

A: get blown up?
B: get blown up?
C: get blown up?
D: get blown up?

Hey, at it's not like this Twilight has any other ideas that's not having hapless villains get blown up!

10984072
The problem is that Tirek is just as explosion-happy as she is.

I kinda want to see what Discord would do while facing this twilight

This is a great series :rainbowlaugh:

Mr. Torgue would be proud.

This whole serie makes me think of this "The Lord of the Ring VS The Lord of the Ring if Frodo had a gun" meme. And that's great.

Celestia slammed her head into the table again. “I live with explosive idiots,” she muttered.

Haha, this line makes me laugh so hard!

10983876
Talk about explosive diarrhea... :twilightoops:

Now it makes sense why Celestia's so adamant about Twilight not blowing things up; she was already sick of the same thing from Luna! lol

Hmmmmmmmm....

Sombra got off lucky. There was still a crown left.

Also... wondering if Twilight will cast Meteor for her fight against Tirek... Or if Twilight will cause an explosion to set off a rube goldberg machine to explode Tirek.

How many degrees of seperation do you need in order for it to count as Twilight not blowing up a villain?

Meanwhile, on the Moon...

"What the buck hit m-- .... Well, crap."

Ooohh I'm loving these series so badly! Twilight is ridiculously awesome! And Luna is also great!

JAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA:rainbowlaugh:

I love this!

*it’s because I like to watch explosives blow up on the tv* :pinkiecrazy:

10984072
But they...wait...what does hapless mean again? If it's anything like helpless, the villains are always the aggressor.
Now onto the part of my comment that isn't asking a question that I could ask Google and save myself the embarrassment of not knowing what an elementary -grade word's definition is (at least I think that it is an elementary -grade word)
First, before anyone gets on my case, the sentence directly above this one is me insulting myself.
Second: Shouldn't the Alicorn Amulet explosion be before the Tirek explosion?
Third: I personally can't wait to see her blow up Starlight Glimmer. By the most holiest of ponies, Rainbow Dash, I HATE Starlight Glimmer.
Fourth: I think that there should be a series of oneshots about this Twilight getting to know and become friends with this version of Princess Luna.

10984551

"Hapless" means "unfortunate", or someone that has bad luck. It has no relation to "helpless", but there can be a little overlap if the unfortunate person/pony is also helpless.

The villains picked the time to show up when this version of Twilight is around, so I think "hapless" fits them :rainbowlaugh:

Fourth: I think that there should be a series of oneshots about this Twilight getting to know and become friends with this version of Princess Luna.

On yes. Those two could have a "booming" time.

I couldn't resist not making that pun and I regret nothing.

I have one thing to say I can’t wait for a equestria girls I need to know how she blows up sunset shimmer that or I want to see them get along so well that sunset comes back with her and now there’s three explosive idiots

10984561
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
And yes, I'm sure that their meeting could be quite...lit.

I mean she practically did the exact same thing that the heart would do in Canon and this time they don't have an organic piece of him to resurrect him with so this one is it too far from the original

:duck: My Spikey blew up something
:twilightsheepish: Great what he blow up?
:raritywink: The little dragons room
:twilightoops: ???
:duck: He had too much Taco Belle
:moustache: Too many Chaloopas and hot sauce
:pinkiecrazy: Mmmmmmmmmm hot sauce
:facehoof:

Can't wait for the centaur. I have autocorrect enabled and it won't let me spell his name. Example of one attempt: Tariken
Won't disable as it gets creative

10984072
its not a matter of if he will explode, it's how. my favorite method in DnD is casting delayed fireball then throwing the little ember it starts as in someone's mouth

Yay! Twilight showed some genre savvy! And yes, Celestia, let Twilight and Luna meet! The readers demand it!

I hope she blows up discord but he lives and flutter shy patches him up

Hahahahahahahahaha this was the best one yet, I especially love ghe interaction between luna and celestia

The bigger the explosion, the more problems it can solve.

More explosions required. Please continue.

More. Please? :raritystarry:

This Twilight I love.

When you think about it, Twilight did kinda explode when she became an Alicorn.

10984589
To be fair, Sunset was nowhere near as bad as Chrysalis or Sombra (at least until she actually put that stolen crown on and, even then, she recovered after she was defeated), so Twi will probably go easy on her. She'll just punch Sunset's lights out.

10984589
I imagine the EqG one going something like this.
Twilight: Okay...no magic. Time to find-oh, that must be Sunset...and another Fluttershy?
Spike: Huh. Seems so. So what-
Twilight: Time to find this world's Pinkie Pie and get some explosives.
Spike: WHAT?
Twilight: What? You know that's how I problem solve.
Spike: But Princess Celestia said-
Twilight: I'm in a completely different world! What she doesn't know won't hurt her. Wanna be the hero again?
Spike: Twi-light...
Sunset: I think I'm in love...

WAIT! HOW DID TWILIGHT DEFEAT DISCORD!!!

Discord: :trollestia: "Ha-ha! I enjoy being exploded!"
Twilight: :twilightangry2: "Then I must explode you harder until you stay exploded!!!"

10985119
I’ll let you written out I need to see this I hope it doesn’t take them too long but even if it does I’m willing to wait

10985121
Maybe she didn't? Maybe she exploded him in enough different and creative ways that he decided to befriend her instead?

10985169
Well, you'll get your answer soon Discord edition is SoonTM

Quite an explosively spectacular read this is! And the expectations that Twilight had were just brilliant! Hope you didn't mind, but I just had to make a reading of this bright fic of yours!
