Last time on "The Dragons of Metal, Sun, and Thunder"

"Azi Dahaka is getting help from villians from every single dimension. He could've gotten me but I wanted to be a dick to him. So I teleported him to a sun somewhere." Eris said to Keshaun telepathically.

"Hey guys, what I miss?" Keshaun asked getting up from a nap.

"We're going to the Crystal Empire." Twilight said.

"That place is up north right. Well then let's go." Keshaun said as they head towards Ragnarok.

"Wait Data, why are we stopping here?" Justice asked confused.

"Ragnarok or my scanners can't get a clear lock on it because of the snow. We'll have to walk the rest of the way." Data said.

"All right edgelord. You're on thin ice! Snow style: Harden Snow Wall Jutsu!" Keshaun yelled creating a wall of harden snow around the empire before entering.

"Okay I got it. Justice; you and Twilight go ask anyone northeast. Caleb; you, Rainbow, Chrysalis, Applejack, and Rarity, check northwest. I'll go with Fluttershy, Gilda, and Pinkie to the east of the empire. Dad, you and Mom go west with Ash, Flare, and Tora. Keith, you and Yuki go south. Marcus and Alice go Southeast. Spike; you, Garbelle, Kalista, and Burner go southwest." Keshaun said making a plan to get information.

"Hear ye, hear ye! Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor do cordially invite you to attend the Crystal Faire!" Twilight said in a microphone as Keshaun continued to play music with a Flugelhorn.

"Guys! We messed up!" Rainbow yelled flying over to the statue.

"I didn't know it was an actual relic! The book didn't mention anything about the Crystal Ponies powering the Heart! There was a page missing... How did I not notice?!" Twilight said rechecking the book to show a page was ripped out.

"Um, guys. Sombra's coming!" Justice said pointing at the barrier.

As we looked outside the barrier began to disappear at an alarming rate. Then Keshaun saw a crack in the snow wall getting bigger. As all of a sudden the wall fell down Crystal Ponies seeing their king back scared them to hell as they ran to their homes.

"We got to find the real Crystal Heart." Caleb said.

"Twilight, Spike and I will find it. Everyone else keep the Crystal Ponies occupied and happy. It might lead us to the heart." Keshaun said as Caleb and Justice nodded.

(Intro sequence)

Pov: Keshaun

"It's gotta be here somewhere. It's just gotta be!" Twilight said looking for the Crystal Heart.

"Where would he put it? It had to be somewhere he has control to look." I said thinking out loud.

"His throne room! He's a tyrant king. Kings are usually by there throne." Spike said snapping his fingers.

"Your right. The Crystal Ponies would never go to his castle let alone the throne room. It has to be there or at least in the castle." I said nodding.

After running back to the throne room I saw that Shining and Cadance weren't in here. They must be in their room.

While not looking I noticed something about this room is different. Almost too bright in a way.

"Of course!" Twilight said snapping me out of thought.

"Figured something out?" I asked.

"This isn't King Sombra's castle." Twilight said walking towards the throne.

"But isn't this where he lived when he was in power?" Spike asked walking towards us as well.

"It is. But it didn't look like this." Twilight said before conjuring up some magic.

All of a sudden Twilight's aura became a deep black as black lighting jumped around. Then her eyes turned green as her pupils became red as a purple energy glowed from them. Then she fired the dark magic at a crystal in the throne revealing a stairwell.

"Shit, where'd you learn that?" I asked looking at the stairs.

"That was a little trick Celestia taught me." Twilight said smirk and going down the stairs.

"Want us to follow?" I asked.

"No, you two can stay there." Twilight said.

"Spike? Keshaun?" Twilight asked as it echoed a bit.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can you see outside?" Twilight asked as we looked out the window.

I saw that the barrier is starting to dissipate and that a piece of Sombra's horn is inside the empire and making dark crystals. Also I saw Pinkie and Rainbow dash having a Buddyfight.

"Sombra's getting in. Shining's magic must be draining faster because he's healing Cadance and keeping the shield up. Also there's a Buddyfight tournament happening." I said.

All of a sudden Twilight began to grunt in pain. I thought she must have slipped and fall down the stairs or a step broke and her fall.

"You okay?" I asked as it echoed to her.

"Yeah! I'm fine. Anyway there's a door." Twilight said about to open it.

Then Spike and I walked down in case something happens to Twilight. Well more of just flew down. But enough out of that when we got down we saw Twilight staring at a door that lead to a wall.

"Twilight. Twilight! TWILIGHT!" Spike yelled shaking Twilight out of her trance.

When she broke out she began to cry and sweat from fear, pain, and lost.

"What happened?" I asked holding her shoulders.

"It was King Sombra's dark magic. A doorway that leads to your worst fear." Twilight said as Spike was looking through it.

"What did you see?" I asked in a way that I didn't want to open any wounds.

"I was back at Canterlot. Celestia, Daybreak Nightmare Moon and Luna were failing me. And you Caleb and Justice were hurting me because I failed. I was in so much pain that all I-I c-could do was cry." Twilight said crying when I pat her back reassuring her.

"You know we wouldn't do that. You're part of our family and family stays together, no matter what." I said smiling as Twilight dried her tears.

"Thanks Keshaun." Twilight said as I got Spike out of the magic door's spell.

"Thanks for that. I was in Ponyvile and Twilight was getting rid of me and you Justice and Caleb said you didn't need me." Spike said as I put my hand on his head.

"That would never happen Spike. You know it." I said smiling as Twilight destroyed the door to reveal more stairs.

"Hey Twilight. You got a spell for this or do you want to fly?" I asked spreading my wings.

"I got a spell. Hold on tight." Twilight said as Spike and I grabbed an arm.

All of a sudden we were on the underside of the stairs. Twilight used a gravity spell and a strong one as well.

"Whoooooahahaha! I actually studied gravity spells, thinking it might be on my test! Turns out I was prepared for this! Wooo-hooo! [laughs]" Twilight said as we were sliding up the stairs.

Switch of Pov: Justice
Time: a few minutes after Keshaun, Twilight, and Spike went to find the Crystal Heart.

After Keshaun, Twilight and Spike went to get the Crystal Heart. The rest of us decided to have a Buddyfight tournament as a way to keep them happy. Paruko warped here for commentary. So we also told her about what's happening.

"All right everyone the Buddyfight tournament is about to begin hope you enjoy these explosive matches. My name is Paruko Nanana and will be announcer for this tournament. Along with Justice as co-commentary." Paruko said as Takosuke hold her camera.

"That's right Paruko. We have very special one today. For this tournament is for the return of the Crystal Empire." I said as the Crystal Ponies coats began to shine again for this.

"This tournament will have 16 fighters. In each round, Data will randomly select who will fight who. Until every Buddyfight has a winner and the process will repeat until the winner of the tournament is made clear." Paruko said.

"Thanks for that Paruko. Now for those who are participating in the tournament. Here are the fighters!" I said as the came to the arena.

"Starting of greatly. We have our very own element of laughter bringing in her dungeon world deck. It's Pinkie Pie with her Buddy, Bladewing Phoenix." I said as Pinkie and Blade smiled.

"Next is someone who needs no introduction but wants her ego to be stroked. It's Rainbow Dash with her Buddy, Dragon Knight Vlad Dracula." Paruko said as Rainbow put on her shades.

"Next is probably the most shyest out of all. The Danger world mistress who didn't get hit once. Fluttershy with her Buddy, Armorknight Black Drake!" I said as Fluttershy hid behind Black Drake.

"Next is one of my favorites Hero world. It's Gilda with her Buddy, Captain Answer!" Paruko said as Gilda waved around.

"Next is one of the Buddyfight Trio. He is supposedly the brains of this gang. It's Caleb with Bal Dragon as his buddy." I said as Caleb was smiling waving around.

"Next up is a new face for me mainly. This hot-blooded dragoness may be new but she shows that she has some power. It's Garbelle with her buddy, Galvanic Feather Dragon." Paruko said as Garbelle was mainly fixing her jacket.

"Next up is element of honesty. This cowgirl has some kick with ancient world. It's Applejack with Great Ocean Deity Duel Jaeger." I said as Applejack tipped her hat.

"Next up is the element of generosity. It's Rarity with her Buddy, Guardian Deity Dragon of Paradise, Avalon!" Paruko said shock.

"Next up is another someone I know greatly. My father with his buddy, Demon Dragon Lord Batzz." I said as Keith look bored.

"Our next fighter is one mean queen. It's Keshia with her buddy, shocking magic Qinus Axia." Paruko said giving a cute smile.

"And wouldn't be one without the other. Here comes Michael with his buddy, Drum Bunker Dragon." I said as Michael was shadow boxing.

"Our last fighter is another one of the trio's parents. The mother of Caleb, Alice has come with Black Death Dragon, Abygale as her buddy." Paruko said as Abygale and Alice were drinking some tea.

"And here are the fighters! Let's see who's fighting who. Data take it away." I said as Data walked over to the fighters had them grab a ball with a number.

"If I call your ball. You two will be fighting." Data said as everyone nodded in agreement.

"9 and 4. You two will fight. Walk to me if you have that number." Data said as Pinkie and Gilda walked towards her with their buddies.

"Dungeon world verse Hero world. This will be an interesting fight. Thinking about how this will go is getting my blood pumping!" Paruko said excited as the Crystal Ponies also are getting excited.

"Paruko, remember what this is about." I thought looking at the barrier.

"Keshaun, Twilight, Spike. I really hope your safe." I thought looking at the castle.

Switch of Pov Keshaun
Time: a few minutes after going through the dark door.

We made it to the top of the stairs and made it to where the Crystal Heart is. As I looked around I noticed that the heart was just there and the barrier is beginning to break apart.

"There it is. The Crystal Heart." Twilight running towards it as I realized

"Twilight don't!" I yelled trying to stop her but accidentally got caught in also causing the Crystal Heart to fly off.

All of a sudden, dark crystals surrounded us as an alarm rung. As the crystals began to grow around us the barrier finally gave out as Sombra rushed inside.

"Spike, where's the heart?" I asked looking for a way out.

"It's over here. It landed by me when the crystals shot up." Spike said holding it.

"Get it to Shining Armor and Cadance!" Twilight said trying to break the crystals.

"Got it." Spike said jumping out of the window.

Switch of Pov Justice

Back with us at the Buddyfight tournament. It was Keith verses Keshia in the qualifier.

But the match was stopped by Sombra getting in the empire.

"This is bad. Caleb think we can stall him?" I asked as Caleb nodded.

"Yeah. Just shoot ki at him, and we're good till Keshaun, Spike, and Twilight get the heart here." Caleb said as I began to do just that.

"I meant more of this. Makankosappo!" Caleb yelled shoot a spiral beam of ki at Sombra getting his attention.

"Oh I get it. Final Flash!" I said blasting a golden beam of ki getting rid of his smoke state.

"Guys!" Spike yelled flying towards us.

"Spike?" Rarity asked.

"Holy whoa. When did Spike get so tall?" Paruko asked as Takosuke began to flim Spike.

"I got it! I got the Crystal Heart!" Spike yelled getting back Sombra's attention.

"Not so fast!" I yelled rushing at Sombra.

"You are not going to stop me. Not you, and certainly not that three headed dick who made me this way!" Sombra yelled stomping his hoof in a growling voice

"What do you mean?" I asked him

"Azi Dahaka made me this way. But I don't care if you kill me. He just loses a knight in his chess game." Sombra said accepting his death.

"The Crystal Heart has returned. Use the light and love within you to ensure that King Sombra does not." Cadance said carrying Spike and re-energized.

"Hey. I want you to keep this between us. You are strong enough to use the darkness and survive the consequences. Also take my memories. You're gonna need them." Sombra said as I jumped down from the crystal cliff he made.

All of a sudden the Crystal Heart flew towards the castle ground as two spires stopped it in place as it began to spin before releasing a blast of positive magic that covered the Empire. Turning everyone's coats, scales, or skin into crystal.

When I looked at myself I noticed allot of differences. I am 16 feet tall. 17 including my horns as they grew longer. My hair became back length and shined like rubies. My eyes looked like diamonds. My scales shined bright even though their gray and black. My muscles got bigger. And I had black wings on my back. My obsidian wings were big enough to fly myself and two more people.

I looked back Sombra to see him dying from the magic burst. I wonder what we're his dying thoughts.

"Heh. There are strong. I guess I was right about them Azi. You will lose them. And when I see you in hell. I'll be laughing." Sombra thought while his body was breaking apart.

While he was breaking apart a piece of his horn broke off and landed near me. I picked it up and put it in my D-GEAR.

"I guess he isn't one to die so easy." I said smirking.

"Whoa! This is awesome. I been needing to change up my hair. But this place gives you a free hair cut." Paruko said as her hair curled up and shined.

"Hey guys." Keshaun said walking towards us.

Keshaun crystal form was 17 feet tall. 18 feet including his horns as well. His scales shined like Amber. His eyes were like sapphire. And his muscles were bigger as well. The same was also about Caleb.

After everything calmed down. We got back and finished the tournament. With Fluttershy winning the thing.

After giving Fluttershy her trophy. Paruko went back home as we did the same thing but we first went back to Ragnarok.

"I do so wish it was permanent. Did you see how my mane just absolutely sparkled?" Rarity said flicking her hair as the crystal form ended.

"But... good things are better when they're a rarity." Applejack and Caleb said giving her peck on the cheek.

"Aww. You too." Rarity said blushing.

"Come on you guys. Let's go." Keshaun said waiting by the airship.

"Hold up. We're coming." I said walking a little faster.

"Sombra. What happened to you?" I thinking about what he said.

(Outro sequence)
(Post credits scene:

"Hey Justice. You okay?" Twilight asked walking in his room in Ragnarok.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking about stuff." Justice said laying on his bed

"You know. I could help with that." Twilight said as a lead smile grew on her face.

"Like where this is going to." Justice said getting the same smile.

As the door closes behind Twilight moaning began to sound throughout Ragnarok.

"And I win another bet." Keshaun said as Caleb handed him some money.

"Never make a bet with me." Keshaun said smiling)
