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.
