Author's Notes:

Why I created 2 parts for the prologue, is that everything plays normal untill Twilight gets to the heart, everything changes.

when Sombra enters the empire play this song

Twilight was at the highest point at the Crystal Palace. Their she saw the heart it was flouting this should be easy she thought to herself. She step towards the heart, without warning an alarm and the floor glowed black. In the distances King Sombra felt that Twilight found the heart, he use his magic to trap Twilight in a crystal cage. Twilight look around and shout her magic at the crystal cage she was in, nothing happen. She used her teleportation magic, but she was foolish. Sombra made sure she was will be teleported back in the cage.

She looked in the cage for the heart. "Where is the heart?!"

"Right here! It rolled over here when you dropped it." Spike said.

Suddenly black crystals grabbed the heart and locked it to the floor. Twilight looked at it "Spike can you get it unstuck!"

Spike grabbed the heart but a burst of dark magic push him away, he look at Twilight. "Can't."

"Can you try to free me, Spike."

Spike walked towards Twilight's cage but a burst of dark magic push him away. "I can't do anything."

Twilight looked outside and saw Sombra's magic taking over the city and the shield weaken. "If I can't git the heart to Cadance, then the empire will be lost to Sombra." She felt hopeless, but then Twilight looked at Spike. She tried everything that will work but there was one thing left. It broken her heart to say it. "Spike…" She said as a tear came from her eye. "Tell Cadance, Shining Armor , and our friends to get out of her and go to Canterlot and get the Princess Celestia to stop Sombra."

Spike looked at Twilight. The mare he call a sister, and mother. "I'm not leave you..." he said as tears flow from his eyes "Not like this."

"King Sombra is going to take this city and I know my fate. I just want you and all I love to be safe." Twilight started to cry "Now… go…"

"But??" he said.

"GO!!!!"

Spike ran downed the stairs as he cried. Twilight then sat down and cried on the floor of her new prison. She remember what Sombra said his voice echoed in her mind. "Then we shall see how loyal you are to Celestia after a long stretch in prison as well as new teachings that I can't wait to show you. You will be serve me eventually Miss Sparkle, whether you like it or not!"

The Crystal City was in fear, as they saw the shield weaken. The crystal ponies ran to the center of the city. The Crystal Palace had some black crystal on it.

"Now don't you worry about your pretty crystal pony heads." Applejack said on the balcony. "The real crystal heart will be here any second."

Rarity look at her friend with a whispered. "I don't think they believe you."

Applejack whispered to Rarity. "Don't think I believe in me."

Suddenly Spike ran in, Shining Armor looked at him. "Where is Twily?"

Spike panted "Trapped… by… Sombra's magic… in a cage." Spike then looked at Shining. "We have to get out of here. He has made it where the heart is protected by his magic."

Without no warning Cadance's magic faded and the shield dissipated, only replaced with the dark north sky. The local citizens of the Crystal Empire where in a state of panic. Everypony of the empire ran to the center where the Crystal Heart usually stood.

By the time all of them made it to the location where the heart would be, King Sombra had entered the kingdom. A giant platform made of dark crystals rose up from the ground. His body returned to its former glory. No longer a shadow, but a full-fledged 'unicorn'. A 'unicorn' wearing his crown, armor and his glorious red cape once more he returned after a thousand years.

The main five, Spike, Shining Armor, and his wife watched in fear as King Sombra returned to the empire. The King only just smiled? "Hello my crystal slaves, I'm back!" He looked at the balcony and saw the ponies and dragon there, then the crystal ponies. "As the rightful King of the North and King of the Umbra Empire! I will make sure that this will never happen again!"

Sombra moved his hand and point it to the tower. His horn and hand glowed with his purple and black magic. At the tower the Crystal heart flew to the king's hand. Every pony was in fear on what he was going to do. He smiled. "It ends here!" The heart started to glow green and purple magic. Black sparks of lighting admitted from it and black cracks formed on it. And then the heart exploded in millions of pieces.

Sombra looked at the balcony with an evil, sadistic, grin. "Now I will show you my crystal slaves what happens when you disobey me! Let me show you an example."

His magic glowed once more. Shining Armor knew what was going to happen. He shout to the others "RUN!!!"

They ran back in to the Crystal Palace heading down to the and finding a way out of the empire. Sombra destroyed the balcony with his magic, he looked at the main five, Spike, Shining Armor, and Cadance an smiled. He can taste there fears. He looked at the crystal tower, with his magic he gripped it. The main five, Spike, Shining Armor, and Cadance watched as the tower cracked and slowly fall down.

Shining Armor screamed out in. "NOOOO!!!!"

The others cried out. "TWILIGHT, NO!!"

They had felt lose as they saw where Twilight was. As they saw the tower fall, there hearts broke. The main five watched as in front of there eyes, they lost a friend. "We have to get to Celestia now!" Shining said as he knew that the princess will save them.

They ran as fast as they can, Cadance was getting weak my the minute. "I.. can't... go... I need to rest." Cadance's legs finally gave out, making her collapse to the ground. Shining Armor went to his beloved wife grabbed her hand "Cady we have to go we have to get your aunt."

"Shining." Cadance said with tears flowing. "I'm afraid. Afraid of losing everything."

Sombra looked at the Cadance "Where are you going, descendent of Amore."

His horn glowed bright white. In a flash Shining Armor was blinded. He rubbed his hands on his eyes and was shocked what happen to his wife. She was turn in to crystals. Shining was in shocked to see that. He looked at the others. "Go get Celestia." he looked at King Sombra and pull his sword an shield. "I will deal with the Tyrant."

The main five and Spike ran off, going to the direction of Canterlot. Shining walked towards King Sombra, Shining was mad at him for taking everything he loved. Sombra looked at the Shining, he can sense his rage and anger. "You are a brave one Shining Armor." Sombra said as he was conjuring something in his hand. I was a Great Scythe made out of the crystals he can create. "I will give you a warriors death."

Shining charged at Sombra, then Sombra changed to his shadow form and charged at Shining. As the to clashed and Sombra past Shining. The white unicorn stopped. Sombra rematerializes and looks at Shining and smiles. His Scythe has a stain with blood. Shining felt his life flashing before him, and his head sliding clean off his neck.

Sombra walked to Cadance, still incased in crystals. "I'm going to enjoy tormenting you, and when the time comes I will enjoy watching you die."

He looked at the remands of the Crystal Palace and looked pact it. "A king dose not need a Palace. No, he needs a castle. My ancestors castle, Umbra Castle." King Sombra used his magic to shot a green and purple beam of magic. The beam of magic kept going, and going. It was past the original hight of the Crystal Palace and now double the hight.

Until it the beam hit something. An invisible ripple like you throw a stone in water. Sombra smiled. "After two thousand year, the Imperium City, the real Crystal City. It still here, the Crystal Empire took the place of the crystal park. Now I will make you come back."

With in a flash a City surrounded The Crystal Empire, The Crystal Imperium City was four times larger than the Crystal Empire. The building where taller than the tallest building in Manehattan. Black and red and gray where the colors of the buildings. In the center where Sombra used his beam of dark magic was a Castle fit for a king. It was four times as bigger than the Crystal Palace. The Black Castle, the Umbra Castle was the biggest building in the empire. The City still had it's old banners of the old empire, A red flag with the black six pointed star; the symbol of magic. Sombra smiled seeing his families empire return. The North storm did not invade the city, without the heart the North was uncountable but, as if it obeyed Sombra like it was waiting for this.

Sombra uesd his magic to go to the remains of the tower of the crystal palace. He entered the peak of it and found her. The mare that had power like none other, Twilight Sparkle.

He picked her up with is arms and placing his hand on her neck. An smiled.
