An alarm rung from a IPhone in the room of a 19 year old boy as the time turned to 7:00 and it was quickly turned off when the boy woke up from his sleep. This boy was Daniel. Daniel stood higher than all of his friends at a towering 6 feet two inches with black hair and blue eyes with a body frame that would be considered thin for one his size.

He looked around his room trying to wipe the sleep from his eyes. He stood up from his bed, ready to start another day of college. He had recently discovered drawing and computer animation, but he really didn't know if that's what he wanted to do with his life. He was going to apply for a few courses around them later.

While getting up from bed, he stretched his arms and yawned before he walked towards his desk where his clothes for the day were stacked.

As Daniel changed out of his PJs he put on purple jeans, a white T-shirt and black socks. He was about to head down the stairs to get breakfast, but stopped to look out the window he had in his room before he went back to get a black hoody that was lying on the desk. Winter was coming and Daniel’s mother insisted that he should keep himself warm.

Daniel walked out of his room and down the stairs heading for the kitchen. He then opened the cabinet which held the cereal in it but to his surprise he could not find the Shreddies. He heard someone giggling behind him and instantly recognised the voice.

“Alright Annabelle, enough games.” He said and looked behind him to see Annabelle standing in the hallway peeking into the kitchen. Annabelle was Daniel’s little sister who was 8 years old. She had green eyes, blond hair and she was about 4 feet and 5 inches tall. He got up and started to walk towards her but she quickly ran the other way. Daniel chased after her.

As Daniel chased her into the living room she looked around frantically, but only found that she had cornered herself. After acceting that there was nowhere she could run she slowky turned around and flashed a cheap grin. Daniel was standing behind her with his arms folded and a smile on his face when he saw that she had indeed took the cereal he was looking for.

“Well Annabelle, You going to hand it over?” Annabelle looked at him and then the cereal before a evil smile appeared on her face.

“Catch.” She said as she threw the Shreddies at Daniel who caught it only to be pushed into the couch and lose his grip on them. he could only watch as Annaebelle caught jumped over him to catch the Shreddies, before sprinting back the way they came.

“Why you clever little shrimp.” Daniel said while getting up off of the couch and headed in the same direction she did. He got to the kitchen only to find she had already poured the Shreddies into a bowl. She looked at Daniel with a smile.

“I win.” She said with a smile. Daniel just shook his head and walked over to get a bowl from the counter. He headed to the fridge to get the milk before sitting down at the table, he then put some shreddies into his bowl before he pouring milk into Annabelle’s bowl and then his own.

“You are a rascal. You know that.” She tilted her head to the side and made the best puppy dog eyes she could.

“You still love me. Don’t you?” Daniel chuckled when he saw the face she was making.

“Of course I do.” Annabelle smiled and the both of them got back to eating their cereal as both of them had to leave soon, Daniel for college and Annabelle for school.

When Daniel was done he placed his bowl in the sink and headed to get his shoes which were placed at the front door. Annabelle did the same but instead of getting her shoes she went up the stairs to get her school bag. She stopped halfway up the stairs and Daniel turned his hear around to look at her and both of them she saw their mother looking at them with a smile on her face.

“You two always do the silliest things.” She shook her head.

“She was the one playing keep away.” Daniel said with a pointed glance towards Annabelle.

Annabelle rolled her eyes. “Always blaming the younger one. Typical big brothers.”

Daniel grinned maniacally. “Is that a fact? Shrimp.”

“Watch it.” Annabelle growled

“OK, you two. It’s about time you have to leave. Daniel have you got your bus card?” Daniel pulled out the bus card from his pocket and showed it to his mother. “Good. Annabelle, wait here for a moment while I get my breakfast and then I will drive you to school.” With that she walked into the kitchen to get her breakfast. Daniel looked to Annabelle.

“I will see you after College.” Daniel picked up his bag which he kept next to the front door on nights he would have to leave and opened the front door.

“Bye.” He heard Annabelle say before he closed the door and walked to the bus stop. He had to wait a few minutes for the bus to arrive. He got on and handed the driver the ticket before finding a seat on the bus and sitting down.

As Daniel sat on the seat he thought over what he should do next in his education. He wanted to give art and animation a try, but from what he has learned about the world of today the odds of getting the job you want are somewhat low. He did not have a good grade in English before he took the course he is currently doing and now he could go back and learn higher levels of English with the grades he has, but he was still unsure.

“ If i got back and study Higher levels of English then that can really help me in the future but what if i art and animation is what i want to do and i do get a job in it. What do i do?" Daniel kept on thinking about what he should do and didn't realize he arrived at the college until the driver’s voice caught his attention.

“Hey. You getting off here?” Daniel looked to the driver and then out the window that was at the other side of the bus and saw he arrived at the college and the bus was empty. He got up and placed his bag on his back.

“Sorry about that.” Daniel told the driver as he walked out of the bus and towards the front doors of the college. When he arrived at his classroom he saw none of his classmates, checking the time he saw that he was quite early for the lesson so he took out his IPhone and ear buds he keeps in his bag and decided to listen to music until the others arrived. After a few minutes more the lecturer arrived and opened the door to the class. Daniel place his ear buds back into his bag, turned off his IPhone and took his seat.

For the most part of the day things were uneventful, he arrived at his first class which was art and after that it was practical crafts, which he did not enjoy, but also did not hate. These lessons lasted for 4 hours, 2 hours for each one and by the time the second one was done it was lunch time. Daniel headed to the lunch hall and bought himself a Fanta and a chicken burger. He then headed to seat that was at the back of the hall and in a corner. Once there he sat down and happily eat his lunch.

When Daniel was done eating he looked at the time on his IPhone and saw it was 1:15. He had lots of time until his next class but he wanted to prepare for it so he headed to the library and signed into his account. As he waited for the computer to load up his mind started to wonder about the computer that he was using.

"Why a Dell? Isn't a Dell an old kind of computer now? There are so much better PCs out there and for a good price. Why is it that Schools and colleges always seem to keep them. Get a new school or college and it is likely to have a lot of new tech or is designed in a fancy way but the computers always seem to be the only thing that remains unchanged. Why is that?" He stopped thinking that when the computer brightened up and the desktop screen appeared. "Ok, Lets finish what I need to finish." Daniel opened up Microsoft PowerPoint and continued to try and finish his work before class. For his work he had to chose something of his choice and make a presentation about it and describe it in full detail and he was currently continuing the one he had already started which was about one of his favorite horror games, Amnesia The Dark Decent. He then opened Google and went to the Wiki page for amnesia to make sure that his presentation was correct and it matched what made it a good game but he main focused on making sure the story was spot on.

After a few minutes of reviewing both of them and a few changes in some spelling errors and a extra picture or two Daniel decided that his presentation was done. He looked down to the side of the screen on the PC to check the time. It was 1:35, so he had a little while until his last class so he put his ear buds into the socket in the PC and listened to a short documentary about astronomy.

Daniel kept track of the time and the amount of time the video was on for and at 1:50 he turned the video off, signed out of the PC he was on, and headed out of the library and to his last class. When Daniel arrived there the door was already open, so he entered and placed his bag next to the chair of the PC he normally sat at and waited for the lecturer to arrive.

After a few seconds the lecturer, Mrs Rose, arrived and Daniel walked up to her.

"Mrs Rose, My presentation is done."

"Ok then. Would you like to present it to the class?"

"Yes I would." Mrs Rose picked up a remote that was on her desk and turned on the projector.

"First Folder." He simply said. Mrs Rose clicked on the folder and found the file as it was simple named Presentation then opened it.

"Class, Daniel is ready to show his presentation." As it appeared on the screen Daniel started to feel uneasy as he hated having to do speeches of any kind, but he knew he would have to if he wanted to pass so he took a deep breath and turned around to face his class mate who were all facing him.

"Let's get this over with."

A few minutes later Daniel was talking almost done talking about the last part which was his thoughts on The Dark Decent and why it is a great horror game. He mentioned the story, the monsters and the gameplay and now he was finishing up his thoughts on it.

"..for the ending. That is why I think The Dark Decent is one of the best horror games." He finished and heard Mrs Rose speak.

"Thank you for that Daniel." He turned to look at her.

"How was it?"

"It was very detailed with points to backup what you were saying about it so it's a pass." Daniel was thrilled to hear that, but he was still feeling somewhat shaky from talking to the full class.

"Nice to know." He wondered what he should do now as all of his work was done. "What do I do now?" He asked Mrs Rose.

"You can go on the internet until it is time to leave." Daniel walked over to his seat and turned on the computer. He took out his earbuds and placed then in the socket as he opened YouTube and listened to a bunch of random songs. He kept track of the time while listening to the songs. Now that he was more or less done with his work all he wanted to do was go back hold and play on his PC. As the minutes passed Daniel was getting more and more impatient but eventually it was nearly time to leave.

"It is almost time, Finally." Daniel thought as he looked at the clock. It showed the time was 3:50 just 10 minutes until the lesson was done. After this he would have to look for further education as his college course was almost over.

"Those who are finished can leave if they want to," Mrs Rose said to the students who were finished, Daniel got on his coat, packed his supplies and left. It was just the assessments today so Daniel did not bring his bag. As he exited the college he saw he friend Josh sitting near the entrance waiting.

"I take it you finished early to?" He asked as Daniel approached.

"Yes I did... Why were you waiting here?" Josh looked at Daniel, wondering if he was being serious.

"Don't you not remember that we are going to Gregory's leaving party at our old school today?" At this Daniel face palmed and let out a sigh. He looked back at Josh after a few seconds.

"You know I can be quite forgetful about things."

Josh stood up and started walking to the road before looking back at Daniel.

"Well Jemma should be here soon to pick us up and take us there." At this moment Daniel reached into his pocket and took out his IPhone and Ear buds then put them in his ears after connecting them to his IPhone and looked through his song list, most of the songs he had already listed to a lot and were now getting boring to hear. Josh wondered why Daniel did not stop looking at his IPhone after a few seconds. "What's wrong."

"I have listened to all of these song so much they are boring now." Josh was about to say something else but was interrupted by a car horn. Both of them looked to the sound and saw Jemma's car close by.

"You guys ready to go?"

"Yes." Josh and Daniel said at the same time and entered the back seats. While Jemma was to drive them to the school, Daniel used his IPhone to message his mom saying he would be back home later in the afternoon. When they arrived at the school Daniel looked over it. It was a strange feeling being back at an old place like a school after you have left for a few years. After Jemma had parked the car they got out and entered the school. They went to their old class which is where they had their party about 2 years ago and along the way there they met with their old teach Mr Ross who taught them some Spanish and French but in small classes of about 5-7 students in one room.

Daniel had never been one for parties as most parties he went to had lots of people, loud music and flashing lights which he did not like at all but this one was different as there would not be lots of people, some students and teachers and the fact that he know them all made it much easier for him. There would not be loud music or flashing lights either, for these parties in this part of the school tended to be more of a get together, and talk about their wishes for best of luck for the future, so Daniel decided he would try and take part in it for his friends sake.

On top of a mountain not far from the crystal empire 2 alicorns watched as the crystal ponies were in chains and forced to slavery.

"We can't let him keep this up." Luna the alicorn princess said to her sister Celestia but she did not look away from what the ponies that were enslaved.

"I know Luna, Sombra must be stopped." she then moved her gaze to Luna. "This tyranny has gone on lone enough, is the army ready?"

Luna nodded at her sisters question. "Yes they are in position sister, ready for the word" at this Celestia smiled before looking back to the empire with a look of unease and Luna saw this. "Tia, don't worry, soon this will end." and with that Celestia looked back at Luna with the look still on her face.

"I just don't understand," Luna looked at her sister in confusion before she continued, "Sombra stole some scrolls for the royal Canterlot archives, but if he wants to enslave ponies to do his will then why would he take scrolls that are based off of a myth?" Celestia turned to look at her sister who was not looking at the ground with a hoof on her chin.

"I can't think of a reason why, but we will find out when we capture him and remove his title of king." Luna replied as they both got ready for the siege.

The evil unicorn King Sombra was reading over the scrolls he stole. He found some clues of the mythic race called humans and wondered if what they had in terms of knowledge, weaponry, anything, that could help him stay in power.

When he ordered some slaves to start digging up a part of the empire as a plan of constructing a stronghold that was mean to be set up as a major defense for his empire. It was then he got word of a ruin found at the site that seemed to be unrelated to ponies or griffins.

He was just about to pass it off as useless as it did looked like nothing at first. Nothing other than the remains of ruined buildings remained, until he found a book and a scroll near one of the underground ruins with the bones of a unicorn holding onto them. A unicorn long ago who seemed to have spent his entire life studying the ruins and what lived there, but that's not what got Sombra interested in them.

As he picked up the scroll and stared to read it. It mentions a solid theory of humans being unable to use magic due to their own immunity to magic preventing it. After reading that Sombra ordered the ruins to be destroyed in hopes of stopping others from finding such an ability and using it against him.

That was a few days ago. Today, after sneaking into the royal Canterlot archives in search of anything and everything related to them he found that while humans were supposedly immune to magic that was cast at them and near them. If it was use a good bit away from one it would work and if a spell was used to create something but after it's creation it no longer needed magic to sustain it then it would be unaffected if a human passed close by. However, if it did need magic to sustain it then as long as the human did not touch it then it would not stop it.

The reason that the humans were apparently immune to magic was because they gave off some strange waves that was able to break down magical waves. This he discovered from a diary that was found near the dead unicorn and it mentioned in it that this unicorn apparently found a world where there were real living humans after an accidental/ experimental space-time teleportation spell and kept a diary of everything that happened.

Sombra had spent days readying a spell that opens a portal that travels not just through to another universe but also through time and space. He had to use another spell to steal the magic of most, if not all of his slave ponies to power it up and he made sure that he had stored up enough magic stored for 3 uses, one to get there and one to get back, the third was a extra if there was a miscalculation or a error casting it.

Sombra got the spell ready but before he cast it he made sure he remembered his steps.

"Right. Step one, cast the spell. If what I have studied is true then this world is a alternate world of that one so it is likely that ponies are long extinct there but humans are the dominant species. Step two, Find a human and use a spell that would hurt it. If nothing happens then capture the human, I have a crystal wall spell so all I have to do is block off the human if it tries to run. Then I'll open a portal at the other side of the crystal trap. If the other theory is true then the human would be able to go through it as it was not casted at it or near it. If it fights, then I'll injure it before taking it back. I need to focus to make sure the portal is set to take me back, any distractions and I could end up.... darkness knows where I could end up. Step three, find out how they are immune to magic and see if I can give myself that ability, but remove the side effect of not being able to do magic. Lastly, step four. Overpower the princesses and rule all of Equestria." Sombra picked up a blade that was sitting at the side of his thrown and placed it on his back. "Have a forged blade ready just in case they are magic immune. If I had conjured a sword with magic it would probable vanish on impact with a human as magic would be needed to maintain it."

Sombra started his plan and activated the spell.

A bright pillar of light shot up into the sky from the crystal empire's castle. Luna looked at Celestia with worry on her face.

"Sister what ever he is doing, we need to stop him now!" Celestia looked at her sister with a determined look and activated a spell that launched a flare into the air. Seconds later a army of unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies both with coats of white, blue and some black all started charging towards the crystal empire.

"NO LETHAL TAKE-DOWNS, CAPTURE THE GUARDS AND FREE THE SLAVES!" Celestia shouted in the royal canterlot voice, Celestia then turned to Luna. "Lets go and stop Sombra." Luna nodded in agreement as they both took of towards the castle.

Daniel was walking back to his home now that the party was over and for the most part he enjoyed it, talking to his old teachers and his other friends who still had one more year of school left until they went off for college or university and talking about their future plans. Gregory mentioned to them that he was looking into getting a course in engineering and work his way up from there. Jemma had to leave as her mother called and mentioned she would be working late tonight so went away to pickup her little brother who was waiting at their aunties house. While they were there Daniel also got word that their previous teacher, Mr Ross, was retiring by the end of the year and they all wished him a happy retirement. When the party was over Daniel started to head back home. He always walked to this school when he was still a student here so he knew the way back to his house from here like the back of his hand.

As Daniel approached an alleyway that he knew was a shortcut to his home he nonchalantly walked the same way he had hundreds of times before. After a few seconds of walking he had a memory of an event that happened a few years ago that was displayed on the news before he went to school. That memory used to cause him to avoid coming this way as there was someone who got mugged by a gang that used to hang around here, but they were soon caught and arrested and ever since then there has been no bad news of things happening in this place and people have started to down this path again. He kept walking until he saw what was a bright blue circle open near him and what looked like a... unicorn came through it and the circle disappeared shortly after. Daniel was unsure about what he was looking at and thought over the possibilities that could be causing him to see this.

"Did I drink alcohol back at the party? No, I did not as I would probably be too drunk to questioning this if I did. Could I be hallucinating? Am I really that tired? I don't feel like I am."

He looked back at the unicorn and saw it was wearing what looked like a cape and armored shoes on its four legs. It had a dark charcoal coat, but what caught Daniel's attention was its horn and eyes. Its eyes had purple smoke coming from the sides of them and the horn looked nothing like a unicorn horn that he had see in some pictures of them before, instead it looked like a demon horn.

"Dark coat, purple smoke from its eyes, dark colour armour and a horn that looks like a demon, I want to start questioning science right about now as this should not be possible." Daniel thought as the unicorn started to stand up and look around until its sights rested on Daniel and the sight of its eyes staring at him cause his spine to shiver

"This thing looks like a bad Creepy Pasta." He thought to himself. Daniel saw that the horn of the unicorn in front of him started to be covered in purple bubbles and then a few seconds later a beam was shot towards him. "Crap!" He screamed and covered his face with his hands but after a few seconds of feeling nothing Daniel moved his hands aside to see the unicorn looking at him in disbelief.

He was confused until the unicorn spoke.

"So it's true," Daniel just heard the unicorn talk which both surprised and freaked him out.

"Y-y-you can talk?" Daniel was clearly not expecting this to happen.

"Yes I can but I did not expect you're kind to speak in the same tongue as mine." At this there was another voice.

"Hello? Who screamed?" Both Daniel and the unicorn looked to the source of the call and saw a man that looked to be in his later twenties or early thirties looking in total shock at the unicorn behind Daniel.

Daniel looked back at the unicorn.

"I need to get out or here, this is too much to take." With that thought Daniel started running to the other person behind him, until he way was blocked by what looked like a giant black crystal that appeared from the ground about 10-20 feet in front of him. Daniel looked back at the unicorn that was now approaching him and stopped 5 feet away.

"You are going to come back to the empire with me." When it said that it's horn bubbled again and another bright blue circle appeared not to far away on the side of a building.

"I am going nowhere with you." Daniel told the unicorn and it just smiled.

"I had a feeling you would say that." Then it took out a sword from under its cape.

"Why do you have that?" Daniel got no answer, but instead all he got was the sword pointing towards the circle. "Might as well do it until I try and find a opening to run. I swear if I survive this then I am never coming back this way again." Daniel thought as he walked up to the blue circle and stopped in front of it. He just realised now that some other people have show up because of the shout that Daniel made a minute or so ago but did not try to approach either out of shock or fear of the weapon wielding mythical creature behind him

As Daniel stood in front of the blue circle he saw a glass bottle on the ground near where he was.

""I am not one for violence, but if it means saving my life then I will do it."

As he stood at the blue circle he saw that it looked like a vodka bottle. As the unicorn walked in front of him and stood next to the circle Daniel could now fully tell that it was a portal since he was looking directly at it.

""I wonder why it's starting to show more the other side of it now that I am closer to it. It showed nothing, but blue when I saw it from a good bit away... but I can't wonder about that right now." With that thought he reached out for the glass bottle as fast as he could and managed to grab a hold of it, but as he tried to get back up he felt a sharp stinging pain in his gut. He looked down and saw that the unicorn's sword was through the left of his stomach. He did not know if anything important was damaged as he heard before that the liver can regenerate so that might mean that if the sword did hit it then it would just heal itself. He felt himself being carried while impaled on the sword that the unicorn seemed to be struggling to keep a hold of it with its own two hooves. It slowly arched towards the portal, all the while he could feel his blood make his clothes stick to the skin of his legs while it also dripping from his trousers and onto the ground.

"Ok, Now this Freak is getting it." Daniel thought as the use up what strength he had left and managed to grab the unicorn right on the neck, thanks to how close it was when holding the sword with its hooves. With his left hand he swung the bottle he was still holding which caused it to shatter upon impacting the unicorn's horn. Some of the glass got into its eye and the horn now had a visable crack on it.

As the unicorn screamed in pain the portal seemed to start flickering and the other side looked like the static you would see on a TV, but Daniel did not care about that right now as he tried to quickly pull the sword out, but with him pulling the sword and the unicorn moving around in pain it caused both of them to fall through the portal.

Daniel soon found he could not breathe and when he opened his eyes he saw that he was in space and he still had the sword through the side of his stomach. Daniel saw the unicorn close to him who seemed to be struggling for breathe.

"If this is how I die then I am taking you with me for starting it." He looked at the sword that was almost removed from his stomach, grabbing it and finally pulling it out he threw it as the unicorn with the blade end facing in forward.

As he saw the unicorn looking at him it's horn started to glow again which quickly opened another portal and then the unicorn was surrounded in some kind of field that was the same color as the glow on it's horn, Daniel saw that it was going towards the portal by moving the bubble towards it. The unicorn went through the portal just before the sword that Daniel threw did and the portal then closed.

Daniel was now alone in space and about to die. Just before he passed out from lack of oxygen he saw what looked like a sun that he was heading towards and with his blurry vision he could not tell if it was a small one that he was close to or a large one he was far from.

"Most Likely a big star. I can't feel any heat coming off it and just from what I can see from how bad my vision is, it is quite wide... so this is how I die. Well I did want to be cremated when I die, and what is better for that than falling into a star itself." Daniel would have chuckled at this if he could and was also not facing his imminent death. As he felt himself losing consciousness his mind drifted to his family. "I just wish I could have died while being surrounded by my family and friends back home." That was his last thought before he slipped into unconsciousness.

Sombra appeared from his portal and shut it is a fast as he could, but just as it closed he felt a sharp pain in his back left leg which caused him to scream in pain.

He looked at his back leg to see that it was the sword that he planned on using to capture a human with. He removed it by using his remaining hooves and not his magic, because when he used his magic it felt like his horn was getting burned in a fire. This happened after he was hit on the horn with that thing the human used. It hit him with enough force that it cause his horn to be in pain when he used magic.

"That stupid human. Who knows where he ended up after that. That portal I had was set to get back here, but it got disrupted when he hit me on my horn so now he could be anywhere and at anytime," Sombra thought as the pain he felt coming from his horn started to clear up fast and he could see almost nothing but red in his right eye. He had a wound on his back left leg that went straight through it and his blood was dripping down onto the floor.

"No matter, this is only a minor setback. He was not the only one of his kin there so I will use that spell again when my wounds have healed. I will go ba-" Sombra started to walk to the medical wing of the castle but was interrupted before he got halfway to the door.

"KING SOMBRA YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR CRIMES AGAINST THE INNOCENT PONIES OF THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE, DO NOT TRY TO RESIST ARREST!!!" When Sombra heard that he turned and ran as fast as he could to the ledge of the castle that overlooked the rest of the empire, his injured leg slowing him significantly. When he reached the ledge he looked down to the streets he saw that his guards were captured, the army that Celestia and Luna had was at the castle doors and that the two princesses were flying towards where he stood on the ledge.

"They must not know what I was up to. I will not allow them to obtain such an ability." With that thought Sombra ran back into the castle and got all the scrolls and items he used for the dimensional spell together before he used his magic to burn them in a inferno of flames. As he used his magic he felt his horn sting once again which caught him by surprise but he continued to use his magic. He did not want the princesses to find out what he was up to.

Just as Sombra finished destroying the last of the evidence the princesses entered the room, Luna in dark ebony colored steel armor and Celestia was wearing the same kind of armor that Luna was, but it was the color gold instead of dark ebony.

"King Sombra stand down, you have lost, surrender now and no further harm will...come...to...you?" Celestia started to say in a demanding way, but when she saw Sombra's condition her tone of voice change to one of surprise. As Sombra stared at them angrily they saw that his right eye was a bloodshot red color and he had blood flowing down the right side of his face.

"I will not stand down to the likes of you two." He said as he picked up the sword he used on the human from before and pointed it towards the princesses. Celestia gave out a sigh as his stubbornness.

"Very well King Sombra, but when you go to Tartarus for you're crimes don't you dare say we did not give you a chance to surrender." Celestia and Luna attacked Sombra immediately after finishing with Sombra rushing to meet them.

"I am not worried about that Celestia. I don't intend to lose."
