Now with a sequel: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold
What if when the Crystal Empire had returned, Shining and Cadence had not beaten Sombra to it? The King returns to his old tricks, enslaving the population once-again, leading them into a new age of despair and misery.
That is, of course, what might have happened if a certain deranged Human hadn't woken up in the snowy wastes clothed in nothing but a singlet, a set of Boxers covered in hearts and smilely faces and armed with an empty bottle of vegetable juice and a large wheel of cheese.
All that is certain is that the Crystal Empire will never be the same again...
Also, on May 5, 2014, the fic encountered a massive flamewar of epic proportions. Blood was spilt and there was much lamenting.
A little side-project I started, don't worry, i'm still working on Saviour or Destroyer
Takes place apart from Saviour or Destroyer, but Nigel is still the same old Nigel. Enjoy
