The King Rules
King Sombra’s P.O.V:
On top of a tower, in the Crystal Empire was a purple unicorn. In front of her was a Crystal Heart. The unicorn stared at the heart, deciding if she should take it or not.
The purple dragon next to her said, “Twilight, just take it.”
The unicorn stared at the heart for a few more seconds, and then she took it out of its place.
As soon as her hoof touched the heart, black crystals shot out of the ground around her. The heart flew out of her hoof and landed out of her reach.
She said, “I was so foolish to just take it like that. I didn’t think that this would happen.”
The dragon tried to help her, but every time he went close to her, crystals shot out of the ground. My spells were working perfectly.
The unicorn thought for a moment before saying, “Spike, you’ve got to take the crystal heart out of here and into its place.”
The dragon protested, “But Twilight, you have to. Or you’ll fail your test.”
“It doesn’t matter about me Spike. I won’t be able to do anything while I’m trapped in this crystal. You have to be the one to take the heart.”
The dragon said, “But…”
The unicorn ordered him, “Just take it and go!”
The dragon did that and started climbing down the tower. I used a spell, and then a crystal shot up from underneath me, taking me higher and higher.
When the dragon saw me, he got scared and fell off the tower. I was getting closer and closer to him with each passing second.
Suddenly, a pink alicorn shot through the air, ready to save both the dragon and the heart. But I was quicker, and managed to grab the heart off the dragon.
Then, I let go of him and he fell. The alicorn crashed into a tower which was in front of her, and fell.
I laughed evilly before destroying the tower that the unicorn was in. I heard some ponies gasp and one said, “Twilight!”
Five colorful ponies ran to the destroyed tower, and a rainbow maned one said, “There’s no way that Twilight could’ve survived. Let’s go and get Celestia and Luna.”
The ponies ran out of the Crystal Empire. As soon as they were gone, I put a barrier around the Empire. One that wouldn’t let anypony in or out.
I then said, “Hello Crystal Ponies. It’s been a long time since we last met, hasn’t it?”
My horn glowed, and all the ponies had chains around their hooves and necks. I ordered them, “Start your work slaves.”
One pony was foolish enough to protest. He said, “Never.”
I shot a crystal through his body, and he said no more. I told the rest of them, “Unless you want to end up like him, start your work.”
The ponies, not wanting to be killed hurried and ran to the mines and started mining for crystals. Then, I turned to the castle and Sombra-fied it.
Its original blue color was replaced by black. Out of the destroyed tower, I got the unconscious unicorn and took her inside my castle. Inside, there was a white unicorn with a blue mane.
I dropped the unicorn on the floor, and she opened her eyes. She ran to the white unicorn and hugged him. She asked, “Shiny? What happened?”
The stallion answered, “Sombra took over.”
They continued talking. From their conversation, I assumed that they were related in some way. That would be perfect for my plan. Just perfect.
A glow from my horn and the mare was in chains. The stallion was chained too. I got a sharp crystal and moved it across his throat.
His head fell off and the mare started crying. I grinned and impaled his head on a spear. I called a guard and ordered him, “Put this where everypony could see it.”
The guard hesitated, but I poked him with the crystal and he did what I told him to. He took the body and head and left.
Break down
After the guard left, I walked to the still crying mare and said, “You really are so pathetic. That stallion deserved to die. Why cry over him?”
She cried more and said, “You’re a monster, Sombra. You ARE pathetic.”
“Oh really? I think you need to be broken and mended.”
I looked into her mind to see what she was thinking.
"Shiny..." she whimpered. Warm tears flooding down her cheeks. Memories of watching me ripping her brothers head off his body and impaling it on a spear. She was completely pathetic.
Without waiting for her to say anything, I cast a nightmare spell on her. I put lots of energy into it, so that the nightmare would seem real.
Twilight’s nightmare:
Princess Celestia looked disappointed. "You call yourself my student?" Celestia scoffed as she narrowed her eyes at her. "Hmph. Some pathetic excuse for a student who can't even do one thing right."
"Princess! Please come back! I'm sorry! I'll try harder next time! I promise! Please don't leave me!"
Twilight wailed on the floor. Crying out to somepony who wasn't really there. I grinned and put more energy into the spell. Twilight suddenly screamed.
"No, Princess! Please! Please don't kick me out! I'll try harder! Just give me another chance!"
Celestia narrowed her eyes angrily at Twilight and said, "No more chances, Twilight Sparkle. You are no longer my student! You aren't even close to being worthy enough! I made a mistake choosing you the first day I saw you. You are weak! Useless! You're nothing but a useless filly!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Twilight screamed in despair as tears flowed from her eyes. She shot out her hoof in a desperate attempt to reach for the alicorn that wasn't even there.
Twilight found herself surrounded by her friends and family. Everypony she was close to. They were all giving her hateful and disappointed looks.
"Why, Twily?" Shining Armor asked coldly, "Why did you let me die?"
"I-I didn't think..." Twilight struggled to speak.
"You let my husband be killed by Sombra, Twilight Sparkle." Cadence hissed, "And to think I actually called you my sister-in-law.
"What do you mean, Cadence?"
"What she means it that it was a mistake ever meeting you, Twi!" Rainbow Dash snapped harshly. "All you've ever done was get us into dangerous situations that could kill us!"
"Yeah!" the others agreed in unison.
"Rainbow...Applejack...Rare...Fluttershy...Pinkie..."
"Hmph! You only see me as a slave! You just used me as an excuse to become Princess Celestia's student! Some mother you are!" Spike snapped bitterly.
"That's not true, Spike!" Twilight cried.
"You're a terrible excuse for a student!" Celestia said cruelly. Glaring hatefully at the unicorn. "I am better off with somepony who actually knows how to do things right! Even Derpy Hooves would’ve done better than you. All of Equestria is better off without you!"
Twilight gasped. Did Celestia really say that?
"I wouldn't be dead if you didn't messed things up at the Crystal Empire!" Shining Armor yelled.
"This is all your fault! My husband would still be alive if it weren't for you!" Cadence screeched.
Twilight suddenly felt something hit her. She gasped when she saw Rainbow Dash standing in an attacking position.
"That's for almost getting us killed all the time!" the blue pegasus hissed.
"R-Rainbow..." Twilight felt the tears finally fall. "I-I thought we were best friends..."
"You HAVE no FRIENDS."
"No...NO!" Twilight screamed in denial. "This can't be happening!"
"You see what I mean? I can't have a friend who acts like a lunatic!" Rainbow Dash snapped.
"She's a danger to us and Equestria." Celestia growled. "It's best if we just get rid of her. For our sake." she spoke with no remorse.
"I couldn't agree more." Shining Armor agreed.
"No..." Twilight whispered.
The group started to approach her. All with a deadly look in their eyes.
"No... stop...please...STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"
End of Twilight’s nightmare.
