The war against Equestria is hard times. The main six had been declared as 'dead' because nopony had heard from them in several months. The war has been going on for several months, six to be exact.

Princess Celestia had a vision about Twilight Sparkle being the wife of Sombra. She at first didn't believe it, but eventually she had to accept that her former pupil was gone. Princess Luna had tried to 'vanquish' the corruption. Sadly, she couldn't take away something that wasn't corrupt in the first place.

Princess Celestia was forced to declare war against the Crystal Empire, even though, she knew those ponies was manipulated. Several ponies around Equestria was shocked that the Crystal Empire was real except the descendents from defectors of King Sombra.

Twilight was pregnant by six months, and was ready to give birth in three months. Sombra was looking forward at being a dad, and Twilight really wanted to be a mother. The Crystal Empire had been 'rebuilt' into a more strong nation, making other nations look 'weak' even though, a lot of ponies and creatures would disagree.

The prisoners had died of from starvation. Twilight didn't care that her old friends were dead, same goes for her brother and sister-in-law. Twilight hoped that she could rule over Equestria together with her husband. Yes, she was a Queen but she wanted to rule the whole of Equestria.

Several cities and towns did everything to support the co-rulers so they could win against King Sombra.

Yes, the darkness was once again awakened.
