Sombra blinked in surprise when the Princesses and their companions vanished from sight. He was not expecting that. ‘They would never abandon their precious subjects like that.’ he thought as they all started to panic. He looked towards Dawning Gloom saying. “Release them, let the demons have their fun.”

“I thought we were going to capture them.” Dawning told him and the king raise an eyebrow before answer. “We are, if they give us trouble we don’t need them.”

“What did you do to my sister?” a voice spoke up and Sombra looked towards a young pale olive Earth Pony. He remembered seeing her somewhere.

“I did nothing.” he replied in a bored tone. “If I did, why should I tell you?”

“He must have done something.” one of the ponies spoke up, more began to whisper. Sombra frowned before looking at the one who spoke up.

“You wish to perish here?” Sombra asked looking at each and every single ponies, most backed down before the small one stared at him. “So be it.”

He launched a black bolt of energy towards her, light green magic exploded in front of him as a small unicorn appeared. A shield of magical energy appeared in front of them, it wasn’t as powerful as the trained Barrier Master’s but it took the unicorn king by surprise. She was straining to keep it up, she her eyes tightly for a moment before her eyes snapped opened her eyes glowing. He grinned before increasing his power, yet the small pony just tilted her head to the side as bright blue markings appeared over her coat. The barrier went from green to blue, ice began to crawl across the floor weaving past the ponies and heading for the demons.

“Well this is a new one.” one of the cloaked ponies commented her horn beginning to glow. “We do not have the time to ogle.”

Sweetie Belle wasn’t sure what to do when their heroes vanished from sight. Apple Bloom was near the front and wanted to know where her sister was. She didn’t show any fear towards the dark king. When she spoke other ponies began to whisper but a quick warning silenced them. It soon became very clear that he had no qualms in silencing any opposition. Even if it was from children. ‘This doesn’t seem like the stories I heard about him. Even though he was a harsh ruler and he treated his subjects like mere slaves there was nothing about him killing them before he took over.’ thought the filly before a new voice spoke. “As far as you know Sweetie Belle.”

‘Warden?’ she inquired mentally before she heard a sigh as Warden replied. “Perhaps you should help your friend first before asking questions. Remember the gift you were given.”

‘The Gift of the Sorcerer.’ thought the white pony before thinking about the teleportation spell that Twilight was so fond of. It was still going to be difficult but there had to be someway to use it to move where she needed to be. She began to focus the magical aura surrounding her, there was a slight pop but she managed to get to her location in time to throw up a barrier. She struggled to keep it up as the older stallion was powerful.

“You have to stop being afraid of the power you hold.” Warden told her and her eyes shut tight. “Feel it flow through you…”

Sweetie Belle took a deep breath as she opened herself up to her core as he continued. “And breathe.”

She let out a deep breath before she felt the spirit’s magic wash over her. Her eyes snapped open as her magic changed runes appearing over her body.

“Well this is a new one.” a pony spoke but she did not care. “We do not have time to ogle.”

“The stranger is right.” said one of the guards and there was a grunt. “We have to get out of this.”

“Leave it to me.” Discord told them before looking at Sombra then towards the one with them. He snapped his claws causing the ponies there to vanish. Sombra chuckled before saying. “Did not want to show these fools what you are capable of?”

“No, they have already seen a sliver of my powers.” the draconequus mused looking at his claws. “If I were to use my full power it would sorely upset Fluttershy.”

“Aw are you afraid of her?” giggled the dark Fluttershy her teeth sharp, she was thrown back by Discord before being dragged for his eyes glowing menacingly. Despite her cruel behavior she cowered before the angered being. Sombra shot a beam at Discord to merely caught it glaring at him. The dark unicorn king smirked as the ball of magical energy exploded knocking him back as darkness began to fall on the castle. The being of chaos teleported out to get a good look at the castle finding a large dark crystal growing up around it. Snapping his claws again he felt an energy blocking his abilities. ‘Then I have to get out of here and regroup with the others.’ he thought before flying up and out before the top sealed up. From the sky he noticed something interesting, it was only the castle that was sealed away. Canterlot City was still accessible. Vanishing he went to Ponyville to check on the situation with the Tree of Harmony. It was intriguing, he knew those strangers but he hadn’t expected them to return.

Discord frowned before he approached the Tree of Harmony which was glowing dimly.

“I know they have returned.” the tree spoke its branches swaying slowly. “I never should have done that.”

“You’re right, you were at fault.” the draconequus replied sounding almost bored. “And you really shouldn’t have altered Star Swirls’ memories about the event either.”

“I did what I had to Discord. If the sisters had found out what I had done, they would have destroyed this world.” the Spirit of Harmony answered not even getting angry at the Spirit of Chaos. “Now, they will find out and I will be destroyed.”

“You have little confidence in feelings Harmonia.” Discord said approaching the tree before laying beneath it. “Luna will be angry yes, but they won’t destroy you. You taught them about peace and harmony. If they try to destroy you then they will be going back on everything they stand for.”

“Where did you send them Discord?” Harmonia asked its branches tickling at his nose causing him to chuckle. “The Norns are concerned about what will happen as you are not using them.”

“I have a contact much more powerful than them.” the chaotic being hinted earning a smack from the Being of Harmony. “Ouch!”

“Tell me that you did not go to where our creators told us not to.” the Tree of Harmony and Discord merely laughed. “Of course you did.”

“She’s the only one who could pull this off in a short amount of time.” the draconequus pointed out before relaxing once more. Harmonia did not reply instead it went back to glowing dimly. They prepared for the return of the Bearers and those sent with them.
