***Asphyxious’ pov.***

I look around at the mouth of the cave as I take in the blizzard that was hammering down from out side. I look up at the dark sky this was my first time being out side in weeks. I almost laughed at the idea but there was a simple beauty in standing out in the frizzing winds I feel a longing to feel the cold on my skin the cold winds cutting in to my bones.

"I miss having flesh and blood, hell I miss feeling anything really. I really wish I could eat food again I'd give anything to be able to eat a nice piece of stake." I was just talking to myself really. Rex and the others were waiting in side the cave that went deeper in to the tunnels that got us here.

I then started to make my move in to the blizzard it didn't really slow me down I think back to the charm Moon Dancer made to help me get back if I need to make a runner. I was still surprised she made it I should of known better she just lost her memory's of her past not her knowledge. I also kept my eyes open to there was no telling what could be out here I met a raek back in canterlot who knows if the rest of Everblight Legion is still out there to I stop as I think about that.

I need to make a army also find out who ponies in yellow armour are.

I think to myself before hearing the sound of a train whistle I follow the sound tell I make my way over a hill. I stop and I could barely see a train come to a stop. I was about to rush over when I stop my self and think.

Is this a good idea I mean I shouldn't even be here let alone should I even get involved?. Let think about this they should be fine I mean they won in the show but I have no idea if things will play out the same here. Should I even be here?. God fucking damn it I should of stay at the den!. What the fuck should I do!?.

I stop my short rant and saw the main six and one spike the dragon. I could not tell who was who with the blizzard and all the only reason I could tell the little dragon was there was thanks to all the stuff he was carrying. I Then saw someone meet up with them most likely Sir Armor as I like to call him. I didn't like the idea of calling him shining it was just to what was the word?. I then saw they was starting to leave the station I follow them from a safe dissidents.

I sigh as I see the shadows of the group up ahead of me it had been an hour I was so bored where was Sombra?. I mean it not like I was hoping he would show up so I could test these new ice spells on him I got from looting that demon in Murphy equestrian. I think more about him as I follow the group with out them seeing me.

Murphy was a pretty cool guy I hope everything go well for him. I felt I could of handled talking with celestia better, reave then screaming at her for half an hour didn't help. I did feel bad about it well not really in fact I felt it did me some good really.

"Something keep trying to get in we think it the unicorn king who originally curse the place!." I hear armor yell. I was glade they were yelling in this wind it meant that I could hear what they was talking about. I think back to the show I didn't see everything but I did see this episode so I know how this turn out.

"But Princess Celestia said I was being sent to help you find a way to protect the empire!, if sombra can't get in that must mean it already protected?." I turn around and float backwoods charging up a spell to get ready for old shadow face to show up then I hear the howl. I can't wait I was going to have so much fun! also the wind was dying down a bit.

"We need to get to the crystal empire now!." I hear armor yell I was ready!. I was about to cast ice wall when Sombra show up to buy the others time to get away that was untell something fell from the sky and made a shock wave that almost knocked me over. I saw something big moving in the snow cloud, that didn't happen in the show.

I saw the thing in the snow had large muscles it body was covered in some kind of armour the creature skin was a pail gray and held what looked like an large two handed axe in it hand. I looked up at it head and saw a helmet with no eyes. "Okay... I'm in way over my head." I said to my self as I slowly back away. The creature let out a roar and I saw something behind it a large shadow with eyes.

"Run for your lives!." I yell and cast Ice wall to slow down the creature.

I ran away following the main six as they all were running away I look back and saw the creature drive it axe through the ice wall before making a run after us. I knew full well what it was, it was a warbeast. I then saw armor turn around and fire a magic blast at the shadow and let just say that did little to help. I reached out and went to grab him let just say if this was any other situation I'd laugh at the look on his face.

I grabbed him then slung him over my shoulder I turned back to see if the warbeast was still keeping up and boy could it run!. I cast Winter's Grasp at the creature and that slowed it down but not by much!. I could see the large dome that was around the crystal empire and the shadows of the main six as they go in side. I then had a thought how did that thing fall from the sky?.

I was lucky I looked up just in time to see a 4 winged dragon swop down from the sky roaring at us. I teleport past it then look back to see it land digging it claws in to the snow it turns and roars again. I pasted through the barrier I sighed in relief I was safe.

"Get away from Twi brother!." I heard a voice yell.

On the other hand maybe I was wrong.

I saw something blue wrap it self around my right wrist that held my weapon she was hitting my arm with her hoof. I got to say I was trying hard not to laugh at this, It was Rainbow Dash. I mean if you just met a metal thing that was 7 times your size you would think twice before attacking it. I then drop Shining Armor to the floor next to me then I was about to try and calm down the situation then explain that I was not going to hurt them.

"I got him RD!." I feel something rush under me where my legs should be. I look down and saw Applejack lying on her bell with her hat over her face. I guess she was trying to knock me over for once I was glade I didn't have legs. I was about to say something when I heard a scream that could only be one pony.

"Look at that armor!, That Cole back that Citadel green!. There wrong just so wrong you can't have citadel green with black!. The horror, The Horror!." I hear Rarity yelling. I had half a mind to tell her what I really think about her ideas marshmallow butt.

"Look at him!, his so glowey like a lave lamp!. A big blue lave lamp with a eye patch hay are you a pirate?." That wound be Pinkie Pie who was siting in front of me with that big grin on her face. The only one who I feel is on the same level of crazy as me. I then felt something around my waist to find AJ some how get a hold of me and Rainbow Dash was trying to get my arm in some kind of hold. It wasn't working.

"Girls stop get away from it!, this could be the creature Celestia warned us about!." I see Twilight Sparkle use her magic to help up her brother and pull him away. He then shook his head I then saw Shining Armor look my way and his horn start to glow. Wait?.

"Girl's get away I'll trap it in a barrier!." Said Shining Armor as the two ponies who was attacking me bolt out of the way and take Pinkie Pie with them. Sir Armor then put a barrier around me with no way out. Huh, I guess I'll just have show these six what I can wait. Why is there six of them?.

Let do a head count we have, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Shining Armor, Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie Pie and. Where?. "Guy's where Fluttershy!?." I heard Spike shout out in panic. How did I miss the dragon?, I then heard a soft meep behind me. I slowly turned around and saw Fluttershy laying on the ground looking up at me shacking in fear. She then hide behind her main and put her wings over her head. I felt horrible it not my fault I look like this but I still felt really bad about scaring her like this.

"Fluttershy!." I heard all her friends yell in fear. "We got to get her out of there!." I heard Rainbow yell before I heard the sound of something slam in to the barrier. I didn't need to look I just face palmed at this I could hear the winged pony sliding down the barrier out side.

"What are you doin' drop that thin' and let her out!." Applejack yelled. Seriously why all the yelling I'm just standing here?.

"I can't from what the princess told me we have to keep this thing contained!." Shouts back Shining Armor.

I look over at them to see it slowly descend in to arguing about saving Shy or keeping me trapped. I looked down at the trembling Pegasus. I slowly sat my self down as strange as that sounds and put my staff on the ground next to me. I then look at Fluttershy tilting my head a bit to one side as she staring at me in fear.

"Hallo little one what your name?." I said as softly as I could with my voice sounding like metal can with stones in it. The arguing stopped. I then saw her peck out from between her wings.

"f-f-Flutter s-s-shy." I already knew her name but they didn't need to know that.

"Fluttershy, that a lovely name. My name is Asphyxious it nice to meet you." I reach out slowly with my hand open and held it out to her.

I just sat there and watched with things like this there was no need to rush. I waited as she slowly lowered her wings to her side as she looked up at me. I then saw Fluttershy slowly reach out with her hoof and was about to put it on my hand. That was untell we heard Twilight shouting at us that made her flinch and pull away.

"Fluttershy don't touch it we don't know what it wants!." I sighed at this really now how am I the bad guy here?. I didn't move but Fluttershy did, she looked at her friends then back to me then back at her friends again then back to me she slowly got up then stand on her hooves. I did not move as she slowly walked up to me and put her small hoof in my large hand.

"Hallo Mr. Asphyxious, it nice to meet you." She said with a soft smile. I don't, I mean, I thought, I didn't think she would do that. I didn't know what to feel right now there was no anger in her eyes like when I first met Celestia, no fear no hate just this feeling of understanding. I don't know how but she understands.

"Shy! what did Twi just say ta not be playin' around with that thin'!." I almost jumped when I saw Applejack looking at us through the barrier.

"Applejack! how could you say something like that, can't you see his in pain." Said Fluttershy as she then move closer to me and hugs me. I, am I dreaming again? what did she mean I was in pain?.

"Shy as your friend and one of the coolest ponies here I have to say this. This thing is not cool!, I mean I hit that thing like nine times and he didn't even flinch!. I think I hurt my hoof to?." I looked at Rainbow as she rubs her hoof.

"I think your all missing a key point here that more impotent then keeping me trapped." They all looked at me as I say that.

"You have a Evil king right out side even as we speck is trying to get in here so here what you can do. You can waste your time trying to keep me here as Sombra take over your little empire. Or you can stop worrying about keeping me here and save this place from him it up to you." I said really I just wanted out of this thing and I didn't like how there was no where for my smoke to go. I saw it was just siting up there slowly filling up the barrier.

They all just stared at me I didn't think they saw that one coming that for sure. I mean I just got my self a way out of this with out even having to hurt anyone, no one can deny logic like that. I mean what could they say to want to keep me in this thing?. Besides I was more worried about those two creatures of Everblight. I had to try and think what they are.

"How do we know your not working for king Sombra and are just to trying to trick us in to letting you go then stop us?." Said Twilight. I sighed at this yeap that the kind of thinking I should of thought she would use.

"Okay one I'd never work for someone like Sombrero." I knew I said his name wrong and I didn't care. I cracked a joke that only seamed to make Pinkie Pie roll on the floor laughing in my book I did good with that one.

"And two I can do this." I picked up my staff then put one hand on Fluttershy back then used my teleport spell to get out side of the barrier. Mind you this was my first time doing this with someone else along for the ride. I felt really dizzy after that.

"Okay note to self, learn how to teleport with others along with out getting dizzy." I said to my self as I rub my head. I was about to see how Fluttershy was doing only to see she was being taken away by her friend Rainbow Dash who was flying away with her. I then saw the other heading for the crystal castle to.

Huh, I guess they are back to there old plan of dealing with Sombrero in the mean time I have to figure out how to deal with those things. I can guess that as soon as Sombrero opens a way through the barrier and it get closed on him again those two things are going to fly right through the opening. I then had an idea I can use my Bane Wolves to find out where the opening will be and act from there. It not a grate plan but it better then nothing.

I summoned them and watch as seven fire balls take shape in to seven blue wolves with fire for fur. "Bane Wolves hear me a evil is moving to try and take this place I want you all to go to the edge of this barrier that keep this land safe. I want you to howl out if you see something of danger that trying to get in that is all. Only attack when I or a larger number of your pack mates get there understand." I watch as they all howled then ran off.

I guess I have some free time untell the attack.

I think to my self as I start to walk around see what else was around here.

***Fire Storm pov.***

I could not believe what I was reading not only have the High Templars closed down there temple's with in the order but also disbanded them self's as well do to lack of member's joining. I guess it was going to happen sooner or later our order lasted this long I guess I should be grateful. I then look at another latter that was from Celestia her self I wasn't sure how to feel about this through out all the years the Solar Templars have done there work not once has Celestia sent them a latter.

I opened it and slowly begin to read it wasn't looking good for all the hundred of years that the Templars have worked for the greater good of equestrian. Now we were labelled as traitors and everypony should report if they should see or know where we are.

"Is everything alright sir?." I look up from the latter it was Thunder Path slowly close the door behind him self. He then slowly walked in side and up to my desk.

I sighed then hoofed him the latter, we should of had a better handling over the ponies that were sent in to the griffon empire. They were meant to take the emperor prisoner not kill him and his family. I slowly pull out my pipe from a draw in my desk then put it in my mouth I then start looking for some matches in the draw.

"I guess it official now we are traitors of equestrian. What am I going to tell my family now?." Said Thunder Path. I could see a lot of regret on his face. I found some matches then light my pipe.

"You was never meant to be a Templar I could tell by the look in your eye when we had to give a order to purge a town." I my self didn't like the idea it was the only way to be safe when it came to necromancer's.

The purge as it was called was to kill all undead with in a town even to ponies who were still alive, we didn't have to do it now a day's but their was a town or two where we had to purge it. But what no pony knew was we had necromancer's of our own. We have lost our way a long time ago we let our self's be corrupted from with in for to long. I start to smoke my pipe.

"Thunder Path I want you to take all those loyal to you and leave the order." I saw the look on his face change from a look of sadness to confusion.

"Sir?." He said as he drop the latter.

"I want you to take the 24th steam giant battle force then turn your self's in to the royal guard understand me." I said looking at him.

"I don't understand sir what your asking me?." I get up and walk him to the door.

"This order is lost there are to many secrets kept here. I want to get those who still know nothing about it out as soon as possible." I then go to a small safe and pull out some documents. I then put them in to a saddle bag and put them on Thunder Path back.

"Shouldn't we tell Brigadier High Runner about this?." I heard him ask in concern.

"He doesn't know everything but just enough to want to keep his mouth shut and keep what happening in the dark. I know more then any pony should. Just take who you can and get out." I open the doors with my magic then look him in the eye.

"This is your mission get them to where they need to go understand." I watch as Thunder Path looked confused but it then turned in to a look of determination.

I watched as the young Brigadier walk off as I go back to my deck and write up some fake missions so no pony knows he will be leaving along with a unknown number of ponies. I go over the reports of Poison Blade work I have to say his work was both brilliant yet disgusting. I had to end this before things get really out of hoof. I will wait for now it all I can do to buy time before I can make my move.

Your move Poison.

***Asphyxious pov.***

I was so bored there was nothing but crystal dirt, crystal grass, crystal trees! We get it already everything is made of crystal's!. I mean come on even the animals here are made of crystal's witch was kind of a shocker. I was watching some crystal bird's flying around doing bird like things one of them even landed on my shoulder but once I looked up at it the bird flue away.

"I feel like this is taking to long old shadow face should of attacked by now it been a hour." I was a little annoyed and worried.

I kept an ear out for my wolves howls and a look out for anything happening with the barrier. I was half expecting one of the main six to forget this. I then hear one of my wolves howl in to the air that sent off warning bells off in my head. I moved as fast as my body could take me to be fare was not that fast. I knew something was wrong then barrier was not even attacked yet so why did one of my wolves make the call.

I arrived at the barrier where one of my Bane wolf who looked up at me then looks back at the barrier. I saw a ripple as if something was hitting the barrier from the other side. Okay that can't be good.

Stop the beast.

I grab the side of my head in pain at that thought just what is happening to me?. I can't even recall all that time alone when I was. No!, don't think about it you don't want to loss it all again not my mind not again!. I then saw the edge of a axe blade stick out of the barrier then it slowly sliced down cutting it open. I watched as it was pulled back as a clawed hand push's it way through and pull the opening wider.

"No time to worry about that now." I said as I turn to my wolf. "Call the others I'll try and slow it down!."

I rushed off as I hear my Bane Wolf howl in to the air I stop when the beast push it way through the barrier. I then saw the barrier weaken and fade. I don't get it Shining Armor horn didn't get corrupted so way is the barrier weakening?.

"Hold it right there!." Oh common!. I turn around and saw Shining Armor what is he doing here!?.

"What are you doing here you moron!. Shouldn't you be with your wife keeping the barrier up?." That was the hole point of me saving his tail so his horn didn't get corrupted. That was as far as I got thinking before a vary familiar magic bubble appear around me.

"I'm here to stop you from weakening the barrier!." I feel really insulted by that comment but I have bigger things to worry about!.

"Dues that thing look like me!?." I all but scream at him as I point at the monster coming through the barrier. It already had one foot through the barrier for crying out load!.

"For all I know you called that thing here to help Sombra attack the empire!." You have got to be shitting me where the logic in that!.

"Did you forget that I can do this?." I said as I used my teleport spell only for nothing to happen. What?.

"Nice try but that barrier use's a spell that blocks off the use of magic." I didn't have time to deal with this!.

"Shining Armor let me out or that thing will KILL you!" I then heard what I thought was thunder.

I look up at the sky and see the barrier flash between a blue sky and a dark orange. I saw from where the monster came in the opening went all the way to the top of the barrier. I then saw Sombra laughing on the other side, this is not good I then look back down at the monster. Now that I got a better look at it I know what this monster was. It had dark purple armor with silver details and spikes on it shoulder armor and helmet. I could see large blade like spikes sticking out of it back and small degenerated wings on it upper back.

"It a Nephilim Protector." I said to my self as it looks up in to the sky and roars. I turn back to the sky and saw the barrier closing back up but I know how this ends. I saw a crystal turn black and the ground around it turn grey.

I saw the Nephilim walk it way in to the open as the barrier closes behind it. I watch as it looked around with it eyeless face I didn't move as it looked my way then snarled. I was so fucked!, I turn back to Shining Armor only to see the idiot was standing his ground there's no way for him to win. This thing fight to kill!.

"Shining Armor get your fluffily butt out of here!, that thing is a Nephilim Protector it a living weapon this thing doesn't need rest. This thing will hunt you down and kill you just run away!." I shouted at him but the fool stood his ground.

I then started slashing and stabbing at the barrier I was making some head way untell I saw Shining Armor charge the Nephilim. It back handed him sending him flying right in to the barrier that was keeping the crystal empire safe. I think I heard a bone or two break I worked faster and stab the blade in my staff through the barrier.

***Shining Armor pov.***

Well... That didn't go as planed. I think that thing broke my left fore leg and maybe a rib or two. I looked up and saw the monster was looking at the crystal empire. No!, I was not going to let this thing even think about it!. I stand back up charge my horn with magic and fired in to the beast back all I did was make a small scorch make on it armour. It turned around and snarls at me it then hefted it axe in both claws and it walked over to me.

"What are you doing RUN!." I heard that metal monster yell at me.

I couldn't keep him contained and fight this thing at the same time but I could at lest try and hold it. I quickly cast my barrier shield around it. The beast didn't even so much as slow down as it pulls it axe back in both claws then swing at the barrier and it shattered!. My barrier shattered to peace's I didn't know what to do it must of been very strong to break my barrier but then I notes that it axe had glowing runes on it.

"Who would give this monster a enchanted axe?." I say to my self.

I couldn't think of any way out of this I just look up at it as this thing walks up to me then stop. I watch it heavy breathing and roars at me. I didn't want things to end like this I wanted to see Twily get married one day, I wanted to tell Cadence how much I loved her and that she was the best thing that ever happened in my life. The monster was now over me holding the axe in both claws then razes it above it head.

"Cadence, Twilight. I'm sorry." I close my eyes when I saw it about to swing it axe down.

I was certain I was dead I was waiting for it to kill me so why hadn't it strike hit me?. Why wasn't I in pain?. Not only that but what was that sound of grinding metal?. I slowly open my eyes and saw I was in the shade of someone shadow and when I looked up I could not believe what I was seeing.

"Get up and run!. I can't hold it off all day!." The one called Asphyxious had stop the other creature from attacking me. He saved me, why?.

I slowly get up and start to move away as the creature roars in Asphyxious face. I watch as I walk away as Asphyxious let go of his staff with one of his claws. He then cast what looks like some kind of fire spell right in to the other monster face. I hear it roar in pain before it smack Asphyxious away and nearly lands on top of me. I look at him as he rubs his skull head and groans.

"Note to self don't piss off a Nephilim, Ever." I looked back at creature that had now dropped it axe and was holding it face roaring in pain. I could still see smoke coming off it head I was shocked at what I saw once it moved it claws away.

I felt sick at all the blood that was coming out of both it mouth and wounds but I felt a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach. It snarled angrily I didn't need to be the captain of the guard to tell what that thing had in mind. I then heard the sound of a howling?, I was shocked by what looked like a group of Timberwolves that were on fire!. I saw one jump to attack only to be smack out of the air as the beast picks it axe back up and hit one of the other wolves with it. I heard it cry out in pain before the wolf start turning in to a flash of ashes. I watch the sparks of fire make their way back to Asphyxious.

"You hurt one of my wolves, No one hurt my wolves and get away with it!." Asphyxious yells in anger. I take it at this point to take my leave even I didn't want to be around when these two go head to head.

I tried to walk as fast as I could with one leg out of order it'll take me awhile I then stopped. I didn't know why or for what reason but I just couldn't walk away. Why was I feeling guilty about leaving Asphyxious alone to fight I mean his evil!. I mean princess Celestia would not of told me to be careful about him if he was good. I grit my teeth and turn back to watch I won't help him that much I'm sure of.

***Asphyxious’ pov.***

I never felt so angry in all my life okay maybe not true but I was pretty damn close. I had to get that axe away from that thing but how it already hurt one of my wolves and now I only had two to keep it distracted. I didn't like the idea of using them like this but it was all they could do to fight back. Now I needed to think, think and plan an attack the trick was finding an opening in it defences.

The only way I was going to get one was if I attack. It looked like the Nephilim had other ideas as it roars at me before charging right for me. I hold my staff in both hands getting ready for it attack if I had to be honest with my self I was not liking my chances of wining.

Thud-dump.

I almost froze at the sound I just heard just before the Nephilim could swing it axe at me I duck under the swing. What was that sound?, where did it come from?, just what was it?. Were the many thoughts that were running though my skull as I dodge out of the way of the Nephilim attacks.

Thud-dump.

I swing back at it with my staff but the warbeast blocked my attack but that didn't stop me as I attacked again, and again, and again, and again, again, again!, Again!, AGAIN!. I was starting to move faster then before where was this coming from just what was that sound I heard in side my head?.

Thud-dump.

It hit my staff away from it but I swing my fist right in to the side of it head I heard a cracking sound then looked at it helmet. All long the side of it helmet was a spider web of cracks and some peace's falling off. I didn't know what was happening but something felt familiar what was this sound?.

Where have I heard this sound before?.

I thought to my self then the Nephilim took me off guard and kicked me in the chest. As I was flying though the air I felt everything slow down but that sound. I could hear it more clearly now and then it snips in my head a thought I never thought I'd have again. It was a heart beat... My heart beat.

Thud-dump, Thud-dump, Thud-dump.

I lower my staff so it hit the ground and dragging me to a stop as I stand to face this monster again. Before when I met Murphy I was acting wildly fighting like a mad fool reacting to attacks. I should of been the one to attack not wait for my enemy's to attack me!. I grip my staff in my right hand and charge back in to the fight when it axe hits my staff sparks fly.

Thud-dump, Thud-dump, Thud-dump.

I was feeling it the lost feeling of being alive I had no skin yet I felt the sweat run down it. I had no hair but felt it stand on end, I had no flesh but felt my muscles burning!. I was moving more quickly one attack after the other, my mind was taking in everything about the warbeast. The way it moved, it strange and speed, the way it blocked my attacks. I teleported away and cast breath of corruption. The warbeast roars in pain as the area around it was covered in a cloud of corroding gas that was eating away at it skin.

Thud-dump, Thud-dump, Thud-dump.

I saw it run out and roar at me dragging it axe behind it I was actually enjoying my self. I didn't know where this was coming from I was fighting for my life and I was loving it!. I cast fire as I like to call it again right at it face again I could see parts of it flash falling off. I was going to cast teleport again but felt nothing. That when I remembered the key to my magic was it needed me to focus and I wasn't but I didn't care I was not afraid. I was having.

Fun.

Yes... I was having FUN!. I rushed forward then blocked it axe then drive my left claw in to it arm digging deep and pulling out one of it muscles. The Nephilim swing it fist at me but I pull my hand out of it arm then block it with my left arm I then drop my staff to the floor as I drive my other hand in to it arm. I get a hold of it arm bone and pull the bone arm out as blood went everywhere.

It right arm go limp then try to swing it axe at me again but I use both arms to block it. I then with my free hand grab the axe then start hitting it in the head with it own arm bone. It screech's in pain then let go of the axe it almost made me drop to the floor with how heavy it was. I hefted the axe in to both hands then look at it then back at the Nephilim and roared as I swing the axe in to the Nephilim body. The axe bites though the body armour and stagers back before falling over on it back.

I stand there in silence and take a breath I didn't need with out lungs to take in air then let it all out. I look at the body and saw it foot twitch it then lifts it bleeding arms up and try to pull the axe out of it body. I look down and pick up my staff and walk over to where it head is. I sigh as I look at this creature it was made with the only reason to live was to take life.

"I pity you, you was created to be nothing more then a weapon to take life with out a soul to live life. I do not kill you out of anger but to lay you to rest good bye you were truly strong I will never forget that." I put the blade of my staff over it neck and push down.

It lay dead as I look to the crystal empire it looks like things are kicking off. I saw my wolves walk up to my side and return to their soul cages.

Soul cages that what there called!.

I sigh and look to the empire it looks like the real fun going to begin soon. Just my luck I don't have the means to get there in time. I then notice Shining Armor limping over to me I pay him no mind as I look to the land as it crystals turn black like stone marble.

"You... killed it..." Said Armor as he walks over to me.

"It was kill or be killed it would not have stopped after taken your life. With out knowing what it mission was there was no telling how many it would kill." I look to the sky I needed a fast way to get over there but how?.

"I have to get back." Said Armor. As he limps off towards the castile.

"And how would you do that?. You have a broken leg and I'm out of magic." I said bluntly. I then had an idea then looked at him. He looked at me then got defensive.

"Oh no your not using my magic for what ever evil scheme you have!." I am getting really sick of this.

"Shining Armor there is no scheme, there is no plan. I'm just repaying a debt to the ones who freed me nothing more nothing less." I say as I look at my hand.

I still have the power that Dante gave me but should I really use it now?. No I can't not yet things have not turn that bad just yet I still have other options. I look at him as he just stares at me he already guessed at what I had in mind but then asked me something.

"And who would you be indebted to?, Who are you working for!." He yells.

"You and your wife for freeing me." I said bluntly.

"What?." He asked. Shining Armor looked dumbfounded at this I guess he didn't know everything.

"The power you and your wife Cadence used to drive away the changelings was what freed me. I do not know how or why but what I do know is this, with out you two doing what you did I would forever be living in that hell. So I have a debt to the both of you so shut up and help me teleport over there and save them." I open my hand out to him.

He was hesitant about helping me but after see half the land get turn Into dark crystals he sigh. He then limps over to me then sit down and put his good hoof in my hand.

"If you try anything funny or hurt anypony I will make you pay for it." Shining Armor said with steel in his voice.

I didn't say anything as I saw his horn glow then felt the magic flow through me. I look off and had my eye zoom in on the what I thought was the castle. To me it just looked like a really tall crystal tower then used teleport next thing I knew I was in side a throne room. It was also spinning.

"What?." I said to my self as I looked around and wait for the room to stop spinning. I wanted us out side the tower not in side it!.

"Shiny?." I hear a weak tired voice whimper out.

"Cadence!." I turn around and saw her laying on the throne. She looked exhausted as Shining Armor limped up to her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it any longer..." I turned away from their lovely monument and looked out side.

I just simply walk out seeing no point in staying after all the one I wanted is out side. I made my way down the halls it didn't look to bad if I do say so my self. The show did not do this place justice, it wasn't about it all being made of crystal that got me but the craftsmanship of it all. I always had any eye for art at lest that what I think, I didn't know everything but I knew what I liked and this place someone or should I say pony put a lot of hard work in to it. Unless it was made by magic then that just being lazy.

Once I push the main doors open and looked out side well it what you'd expect. Crystal ponies running about in panic really now did no one here use their heads?. I looked up and saw you guessed it Mr Sombra giving off his evil laugher I then looked up the tower. No sign of Spike I was not sure if that was good or bad thing for now I'll just be happy to deal with him.

"SOMBRA!, I am here to smite thee. Dog killer, Diamond butcher!, Pup MURDER!!!. Celestia light will not save you from me!. For I am what lives in the darkness, I am here to end you and no one will stop ME!. I am Asphyxious the Iron Lich and I am your DEATH!." I roared out in to the sky.

I saw him look at me then laughed his smoke form shot down from the sky and hit the ground making a tower of smoke like tornado. I saw many crystal ponies run for there homes or behind something to hide them. I then heard the voice of one of the main six from behind me you know I guess I saw that coming.

"What are you doing here!?!." Yelled Rainbow Dash in anger. I didn't look at her as she fly over my shoulder. How did I know she was there? by the sound of her wings.

"I am here to buy you time to get the heart, go to the top of the tower and get Spike once he has the heart then take him to Cadence." I said as I look at my staff it still has some blood on it for before.

"You expect me to believe that? I mean look at you!, your covered in blood!. What did you do to Shining Armor!." I didn't have time for this!. I was about to turn around and grab this pain in the neck then scream in her face about not wasting time!. But I did not when I heard Fluttershy voice.

"Wait did you say Twilight and Spike are at the top of the tower." Said Fluttershy in concern. I then looked at them.

I saw they all look up at the tower then looked up my self I then saw a small sparkle of light. They had to move now so I acted. "Rainbow Dash fly up their and get Spike!, Applejack, Fluttershy I need you two to get Shining Armor and Cadence out here as fast as you can. Pinkie, Rarity I need you to get the crystal ponies as far away from the fighting as you can." Damn that was a mouth full.

"Now hold on here Mr who put you in charge?." Said Applejack. At this point I just didn't care any more.

"Do you want to save this place or not." Was my simple reply as I walk up to the tower of smoke that was starting to die down.

What I saw once the smoke clears was not what I was expecting this Sombra looked nothing like he did in the show. He had a lot more heavy build then he did in the show. Sombra armour covered his hole body with large spikes sticking out of his shoulders and helmet. His helmet had a spike like crown on the top of his head with a red horn sticking out of his for head.

I was getting a lord Sauron vibe from this pony, hay I thought I forgot all about lord of the rings hundreds of years ago. I saw Sombra take a step the top of his armoured hoof had thick spikes poking out. I saw small dark crystals grow around his steel hoof. I saw his glowing eyes open from with in his helmet eyes full of hate.

"Who dares to stand in the way of a king to take back what is his." Wow someone sounds full of them self.

"I do not understand Sombra there is nothing here that belongs to you." I say back calmly. My job was to stall for time it shouldn't be that hard.

"I have to wonder worm where did you learn of the titles that the diamond dogs call me by?. I won't think any self repeating pony would deal with those dirty mutts." I saw a shadows all around us as he started to walk closer.

"Good thing I'm not a pony then tell me did you really kill pups?." I felt my grip tighten around my staff I felt my own anger boiling.

"Yes I did, I had to show those mongrels who was in charge. Just like how I'm going to show you who is the real king is here!. Fear me!." I saw dark crystals shot out of the ground towards me.

I just calmly move to one side out of the way of the attack. "It hard to fear something that so weak. I don't even think you are a king let alone would be a challenge for me. Not only that but you would be intimidating if you was, well intimidating." I say as I run my fingers along the blade of my staff.

"You dare mock me!." He growls in anger.

"No, no, no, no... piff ya." If I could I'd be smiling.

I quickly back away as large crystal towers shoot out of the ground towards me. I kept backing away as more and more crystals come out of the ground. I was just here to buy them time tell I can use my magic again on one hand I could just kill him. On the other I could use all that power he has it just a question of how then I remembered one of the spells from my book. I had a plan.

***King Sombra pov.***

I will not be mocked by this thing!. I followed after it as this past some houses and saw the head of a crystal statue flying right at my head!. I used my dark magic to make a wall to stop the attack the fool really thinks throwing a statue at me was going to hurt me?.

"So you can make walls of dark crystal to stop on coming attacks that good to know." I turned down to look where that things voice came from but I could not see it.

"Come and face me you worm or do you fear my power!." I call out to it. Once it show it self I'll just crush it with my magic.

"Power implies you have any, fear implies I'm seared of you I am not." I growl to my self. Why was this thing voice echoing all around me?.

I then saw the smoke over the top of some houses and smiled to my self. Their you are you weakling I think to my self as I run over only to find the smoke was coming from a chimney stack. I snarled at not finding that fool but I stop when I feel something pass through me. I looked down and saw a small stone?.

"Now I see that not your real body is it, interesting not only that but you can't defend your self agents an attack you can't see coming." I turned to face this thing and again I find nothing!.

"Show your self!, save us both the trouble of me killing you slowly!." Where was it where is it hiding!.

I hear a bark then a snap I turned around just in time to see a timberwolf that was on fire!. I used my magic to make a wall of crystal between me and it. I then heard the sound of running I turned to my left and saw two more of the fire like wolves running down the street. I summon a tower of crystal to impale them but the two wolves split up and dive in between the houses.

"Stop with theses childish games and face me!." I was starting to grind my teeth in frustration. Just what was it game?.

I stop when I notes there was seven of them the wolves that were covered in blue fire slowly walked out between the houses one by one. How dare they be so confident to face me like this!, I cursed them under my breath as I get ready to destroy them all!. I was about to attack but something was wrong... The shadows were growing longer with out me using my spells so why was, it was then that I realise and looked back to the castle it was covered in a tower of light!.

"How!, how did they get their dirty hooves on the crystal heart!." I roared.

I was about to march my way through the wolves when I felt something impact my back and go through my chest. I didn't know what this was I wanted to move but couldn't. I slowly look down at my chest and saw two blades sticking out of my chest. I felt the illusion of my spell braking down and my magic failing me what was happening to me?!.

"You fall for my trap." I froze at the sound of it voice behind me.

I slowly turned around I didn't know way but doing this one simple action was difficult for me. I saw it standing over me from my wall of crystal. How, how did it get so close with out me seeing it!?.

"I didn't think you would fall for such an obvious trap. I'm kind of disappointed really I didn't think it would be this easy." My eyes widen in horror when I saw it claw reach out for my horn!.

"y-You can't do this to me!. I-I am a KING!." I scream in fear then look back to the tower of light as it rushed towards us. I then felt it grab my horn.

"Do not fear you will not be destroyed I'm sure you will get use to your new home with in my staff." It said as the metal beast pulled my horn from my forehead.

My mind didn't fade away along with my body it stay with in my horn, I then looked from the light to the monster that had me trapped. I then looked to it staff and felt something powerful. A endless hunger waiting to feed I didn't want to go.

Stop it please.

I felt fear as my mind and soul was being drawn closer to it.

Keep it away from me!.

I cried out in fear as I was being forced closer to it, I could feel my magic being eaten away.

Don't let it take ME!.

I scream for help for anypony to save me then I heard it, no his voice.

"We're a lot alike you and I, but unlike you I do not want or need slaves. Your power will forever be bound to me and I to you. I will be our Light and you will be our Darkness." After that I hear nothing and I am surrounded by silence...

***Twilight pov.***

As soon as I was free I ran to find my friends and Spike once I get out side I saw everypony was fine. "Spike!." I call out as I run up to him and hug him. I then felt him and all my friends hug me to he did it but I felt a little sad in side I failed my test.

"Well done everypony." said Cadence as she walk up to us. "Not only that but thank you as well Spike. From this day forward you will be known as Sir Spike savour of the crystal heart."

She then bowed in fact everypony bowed I was never more proud of my little Spike. Now with Sombra gone all we had to deal with is. I then heard his voice. "That was so touching I think I'm going to cry." Me and my friends turned behind our self's and saw him!.

"Asphyxious!." I called out as me and my friends get between him and the crystal heart. I then notice that my brother was hurt!.

Cadence and my brother walked past us then up to Asphyxious he just stands there but his armour was a different colour now. Asphyxious black armour was now a dark blue and his green armour was now dark purple. The crystal heart must of effected him the same way it turn everypony in to a crystal pony. I watched ready for any under hoofed attack he would pull, Asphyxious then bow to them?.

"My debt is now pay in full if you ever need my aid again just send a call to the diamond dogs." I wasn't sure what he means by that. Call the diamond dogs what did they have to do with all this?.

"What happened to Sombra." Said Shining Armor. I watched as Asphyxious held up his staff I didn't know why but it gave me a bad feeling.

"He is trapped with in my staff his power is now mine to use." I was shocked. He did what!?!. before anypony could say or do anything else we all heard a voice.

Would you like to play with OUR little human.

"What?." Said Asphyxious. Just before a large portal opens behind him and a huge tentacle shot out and pulls him in then closes.

We were all shocked at what just happened so many questions as to how did this happen what just did happen. Well looks like I have a lot to tell the princesses when I get back.
