The Escape (EDITED)

Sombras’ vision ceased to be as the whirlwind spell slammed right into him. His life flashed before his eyes, and blood was shed everywhere and stained the stones in the room. The crown and cape were shredded into a million pieces, and his body finally came down to the ground. All signs of life were gone at last.

Princess Celestia still wasn't sure if he was dead or not. He might have had a card up the sleeve to prepare for this showdown. But before she could examine the body, Twilight rushed to his body in front of them. She bent down and pressed her face into his neck.

"Sombra, it's me," Twilight said. "Please wake up. They're still here. We need to fight them off if we're ever going to be together forever."

Yet the eyes did not open. She tried again and pushed on his belly.

"Please wake up, you can't be dead yet...you're stronger than that..."

No reaction. None.

"No...don't leave me like this. We were going to have our own Shadow Empire. We were going to have our own child, raise him up as a prince..."

As Twilight was on the verge of breaking down into tears, she felt a hoof wrap around her and pull her closer to Sombra. She then realized that his eyes were barely open and was breathing heavily. Tears started dripping from Twilight’s green eyes from the thought of losing the one she loved forever.

“Together…forever...my Queen” he whispered in her ear. Twilight then flung her hooves around his neck and hold him and starts crying even more than before.

Behind Twilight, Sombra could see Celestia and Luna getting ready to fire another magic blast at him. There was no chance that he and Twilight would win this fight today. If this fight were to continue, it would have meant their end. And Sombra knew it.

However he was determinant to live another day to see his and Twilights victory, no matter how long it would be or how far they would have to reach for that victory. He began to turn himself and his queen into shadow form. The sudden chance came as a massive shock to Twilight at first but she realized that it was Sombra's doing and allowed the darkness to consume her.

“Another time, another place Princesses” he said before becoming a complete shadow and started fleeing with Twilight through the castle. Luna and Celestia began firing several magic only to have it avoid every shot.

"Stop that Shadow" they heard Celestia order the guards. almost every turn they made there were guards truing to block them off from any exit. After a few minutes, the shadow finally came upon an open window and took their chance at safety and flew out the castle. They could see Celestia and Luna trying to catch them as they flew through the heavy blizzard. The Royal Sisters were close to catching the couple but Sombra was able to make a quick move and managed to lose both of them in the storm.

“NOOOOOOOOOO” they could hear Luna yell behind them. Sombra and Twilight knew that they had lost the Princesses. Freedom was straight ahead of them. But he wondered if he would be alive long to Celebrate it.

Celestia could not believed what happened. Twilight was now Sombra's queen and was fighting against her. And now she had failed to rescue her from that monster.

"We... we lost her" Celestia said. "We failed to bring her home. To save her from him."

Luna was a;so in disbelief that the monster had escaped their grasp with their fellow princess.

"The fiend." Luna spoke to herself. She looked to her sister and said "Do not think that she is lost forever. We will rid the world of his influence and bring the Twilight we know back."

"What will we tell her friends back in Ponyville? Or Spike or the captain and Princess Cadance? Do we tell them that she is now in love with Sombra?

"We'll tell them that he has tricked her into falling for him. That we couldn't stop him in time and he got away with her. We could get them to help remind Princess Twilight of the pony she used to be."

"You're right Luna. We can rescue Twilight, but not today."

"Let us return to the guards" The two royal sisters flew back to the castle. Celestia takes one last look out toward the storm.

"I just hope that we're not too late."

Sombra flew himself and Twilight as far away as he could with all his remaining strength. He wanted to be as far away from the princess as possible with his wife. They would fight the princesses and win another day. But for now they had to live. For now Twilight must live.

Sombra’s magic was beginning to fail him and he felt like he was going to pass out. He needed to stop and get to shelter. He was at his limits and felt like dropping to the ground. Then came a point where he couldn't go on. His magic died out, but he didn't feel the wind beneath him.

He opened his eyes to see that Twilight started using a shadow form of her own to carry him and her away.

“Hang in there my love!” he heard his queen say. He then passed out.

After a little while long of flying, Twilight assumed that they would be safe for a short moment and Sombra needed to stop and rest up. She came to a stop and used the creation spell she learnt to construct a cabin to rest up and help Sombra.

When they entered the cabin and escaped the harsh blizzard, Twilight removed Sombra’s armor, laid him on a bed and did all she could and healed his wounds from the attack Celestia and Luna had used on him. He may not be ready to rebuild that empire anytime soon, but at least he was going to live. And that’s what Twilight wanted most.

Twilight noticed how late it had gotten and how worn out she was also. Battling the princesses, learning the creation spell and carrying her lover away in a blizzard really drained her of her energy. But she couldn't stop thinking about Sombra's safety.

“He’s going to be alright” she kept telling herself. “Remember: together forever”.

She decided to lie down next to Sombra on the bed and embrace him in a hug. She didn’t hug him too lightly as it could hurt him even more. She just wanted to be with him. Soon after she just drifted off to sleep, hoping the see Sombra alive and well the next day.

Author's Note

So after a long time of school work and gaming I have finally gotten down to updating this chapter for the story. I'm sorry if you may have lost interest after all this time but school is hard work man. It ain't my bloody fault that I got so much to do. Cheers

Bad news

Spike, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy were all waiting in Twilight's library awaiting the return of their lost friend. Pincess Celestia had promised them that she would stop Sombra and bring Twilight home safe and sound.

"I can't wait to see Twilight again girls" Pinkie Pie said. "I'm going to throw her a 'welcome back to Ponyville' party"

"We're all anxious to see her again dear" added Rarity. "But I think we can agree that Celestia wouldn't let us down."

"You and me both Rarity" replied Spike

Celestia, Luna and the guards were on their way towards Ponyville after they were finished securing the castle. They collected all the books from the library. Alone the way back, Celestia was thinking about what to say to Twilights' friends about Twilight. She promised them that she would stop Sombra and bring Twilight home. But she couldn't keep that promise she made with them.

As they entered Ponyville and approached Twiights home, Celestia could hear several familiar voices of five familiar ponies talking inside. She began to think about what they're reaction would be when they hear the bad news after she made that promise. As Celestia and Luna entered the library, she could see 5 of the elements of Harmony and Spike waiting to see their friend.

They all looked at her with lifted spirits and seemed very anxious to see their friend return to them at last, but their smiles and spirits died when they saw the look on Celestia's face. They soon noticed that Twilight was no where to be seen behind her. When Celestia closed the door behind her, AppleJack ask the princess "Where's Twilight y're majesty?"

"Did you stop that meany Sombra?" asked Pinkie Pie

Celestia then look towards the floor, having trouble saying what needed to be said. They needed to know that they couldn't stop Sombra, that Twilight returning home would take a lot longer that thought.and that she has fallen in love with the king. Celestia took a deep breath and prepared to let out the cold hard truth.

"I'm sorry my little ponies" she started. "but we were unable to stop Sombra. He got away with Twilight right when we were about to end him there and then." The 5 ponies and dragon were upset to hear this news. "Also, he's done something to Twilight. She is now convinced that she loves him. She even aided him in the fight we had against him"

Upon hearing those words, every pony went in a state of shock, trying to accept what they just heard.Twilight, of all ponies, fell in love with an evil ruler and tried to help him beat the Royal sisters.

"Alright princess" Rainbow began "I'm coming with you next time you try and get Twilight back. I'll knock some sense back into that egghead friend of ours".

"Count me in" Yelled Pinkie.

"Me too" Said Fluttershy.

"Anythin' for Twi" added AppleJack.

"We'll free Twilight from that monster" Rarity included.

"Let me help too" Spike finished

Celestia thought about what to do about them. Their Elements of Harmony wouldn't work but they might have a chance to get Twilight to see reason. They could remind her of how much she means to them back in their lives as their friend.

"It could be too dangerous for you 6"

"Princess, we're Twilights friends and we want to help bring her back home" Rainbow replied

She turned to look at her sister who simply nodded at her. This was the one of their best chances of bringing Twilight home.
So turned back to the group and gave then her answer.

"Very well my little ponies. When we find Twilight and try and bring her home, you can come along and help remind her of the mare she used to be." They all looked happy to hear that they can help their friend. "I'll let you know when we find her so you can help. But for now Luna and I need to rest after today. We'll speak again soon".

Celestia and Luna made their way out of the library and into their carriage that was waiting for them. Celestia was happy that her friends agreed to help but was concerned about their safety. They wanted to help no matter what, so it seems like they wouldn't take no for an answer. Still, she didn't like the idea of doing it.

"It'll be alright sister" Luna said to Celestia.

"I'm just concerned for their and Twilights' safety" she replied.

"As am I sister, but you know we need their help if we're able to remind Twilight how she's important to us and her friends".

"Let's hope our scouts find her as soon as possible" They entered their carriage and were now on their way back to Canterlot for a rest.

Never leave you

It was early in the morning, the sun was shining through the window of a cabin and a certain some pony felt like he just want through hell and back. He remembered the events of what happened before he passed out and acted to jump right out of bed. However Sombra didn't even have strength to do that.

He slowly lifted himself up from the bed and looked around the room. The first thing he noticed was that the room he was in had a familiar crystal structure. As far as he knew, there were only a select few who could create something like this, which brought hi attention to a lovely sight in his bed.

His special some pony sleeping in bed next to him. The beautiful queen, Twilight Sparkle, was still at his hide. Sombra was starting to feel better already knowing that he could see his wife after what happened at the castle. He looked down on his body and saw that someone had healed his wounds from the battle with the princesses. He leaned over and kissed his lover on her forehead.

He saw her ears twitched after he kissed her. Her eyes slowly opened to see Sombra leaning over her. She looked like she wanted to grab him and hold him close to him for the whole day, and that's what she had in mind. Twilight wrapped her hooves around Sombra and pulled him to her, which he replied with a painful but happy look. It hurt but it was worth it. To hold her close to him.

"How's your morning dear?" he asked her.

"I'm okay my king." she replied. "I'm more concerned about you though."

"I'd be worse without you." he said as he moved to kiss her lips which she accepts and lets his tongue enter her mouth. It felt good to kiss her again after all that happened. Knowing that he could have died and would never see her again really had him scared. Which is weird since he doesn't get scared.

"After what happened at the castle, I thought I was going to lose you." Twilight said after they parted lips.

"Twilight, dear." he started. "I want you to know that I will never leave you. I want you to be there by my side forever as we rule our future empire. I want to raise a child together. Together forever, no matter what happens."

"I know my love. Together forever."

They spend several more minutes laying in bed together, holding each other close. It felt as if hours went on by as they held and kissed over and over. As they kissed, Sombra noticed that he had blood stains on him. He slowly moved away and got up from the bed.

"I'm going to wash off all the blood from my body in the shower" he informed her.

"Would you like me to join you again?" she asked him.

"I still owe you for the one we were going to do before." The two made their way to the bathroom.

Sombra was sitting next to Twilight at a table eating some pancakes that Twilight was able to summon up using the creation spell after enjoying a nice shower together. As they ate they discussed about how they would construct their perfect kingdom and how to take on the princess when the time comes.

"The creation spell will work well with building our empire" Twilight stated.

"And since you're here, the elements will be useless when facing us." Sombra added. "The only problem we'll have is dealing with the other princesses."

"Then we'll train together until we can beat my former teacher. You can teach me how to use dark magic and use it like you do."

"Don't worry my sweet Twilight. I will teach you everything you will need to beat Celestia and Luna. I promise."

After a delicious breakfast the couple went through a short walk through the surrounding area. Being on the lookout for any royal guards looking for them.

"So.." Twilight starts. "Where do you plan on starting our campaign against Equestria?"

"Well, I was thinking about taking the Crystal Empire back from that Cadence and Shining Armor." Sombra replied.

"Attack my brother and my favorite foal sitter?!" She shot back at him.

"If you want, I guess we could try and attack another location."

"No, no. It's fine. I wasn't expecting that idea. But how do you plan on taking back the city?"

"We can't really go anywhere far right now with all these search parties, so we can figure something out before."

"Alright then. I think we should start making out way back to the cabin."

"Good idea."

The Fall of the Crystal Empire Part 1

The day started as any other day in the Crystal Empire. Ponies were setting up their shops and waking to a peaceful morning. Most of them were ready for yet another regular day in the city. And it seemed like it for a while.

In the Crystal Palace, a unicorn with a white coat and a blue mane was standing on a balcony overlooking the city.He was busy focusing on a personal matter that has been on his mind for a long while.

"Where could you be" he said to himself.

Soon his wife, a pink Alicorn princess trotted up beside the stallion and looked out towards the Empire.

"Any news about Twilight, Shining?" She asked him.

He looked towards her. "None since the attack on Sombras' castle 2 months ago." he replied. "The Royal guards, the Pegasus patrols, the Royal Sisters and even I couldn't seem to find her. I should be out there looking for her again."

"Shining," Cadance started. "You spent a whole month trying to find Twilight dear. But you don't need to push yourself over the edge to get it done." She then wraps her hoof around him. "I know you miss her. I miss her too, but even you have your limits. I'm sure that we'll find her soon and this will be all over and done with."

He looked toward her. "I hope your right about that."

They both turned their heads when they heard somepony knocking on the door to their room. Shining walked up to the door and opened it up to see his second in command.

"Captain, I need you to come with me. It's urgent!" he told him. So Shinning followed him towards the Guards barracks. The Guards were getting ready for something and arming themselves.

"What's going on Shield Hoof?" Shining asked.

"The Crystal Heart!" he replied. "It's been stolen!"

"WHAT!?"

A hooded mare was galloping through the streets of the Crystal Empire with her saddle bag. Most Ponies around her didn't seem to mind much but little did they knew that this mare was not just another mare. She was delivering something very important to her Husband.

"I've got to hurry," she thought. "I've got to get this to Sombra before anyone knows what has happened."

"What do you mean it's been stolen!" Shining yelled.

"Several Guards were out on patrol and saw that it was missing." Shield replied. "We're preparing the guards to go on a search for the thief."

"How long until their ready?"

"Could be a couple of minutes sir."

"Make it sooner Shield. We need that Heart. I'm got to inform Cadence."

"Yes sir."

The hooded mare was now away from the city and was moving up a hill with King Sombra waiting at the top. He was watching as she made her way as fast as she could towards him.He could only smile as his wife completed her part in the plan.

"You have been great my Queen" he said as she came close enough to him. She stopped a meter away from him and pulled off her hood. The was a Unicorn with a green coat and purple mane. But her horn glowed, there was a flash the then the green Unicorn was replaced with Twilight Sparkle, Sombras' Queen of Shadows.

"Anything for our Kindom, Sombra" she replied, using her magic to pull the Crystal Heart from her saddle bag, passing it to him.

"Let the age of Shadow and Fear be known to these ponies." he shouted in which the army behing him cheered to and began the march towards the Empire. "LET THEM KNOW OF THE RISE OF SOMBRA AND TWILIGHT!"

Thus, the battle had begun and Sombra led the charge.

The Guards Barracks was full of many stallions preparing too go out searching for the heart. Shield Hoof was giving groups a location in the city to search.

"Flash Sentry, you search around the market. Silver Blade, you check th..."

"SARGENT!" a guard came rushing saying. "YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" Shield Hoof followed the panicking guard to the East Watch Tower.

"What's the problem? Shield asked.The guard only pointed his hoof towards the edge of the city. When Shield looked to where was pointing, he was suddenly overwhelmed with shock and fear.

"Get the Captain up here. Now!"

The gurad rushed out and Shining joined Shield in the watch tower.

"What is it Sargent?" he asked as he entered.

He passed a pair of binoculars to Shining and pointed to where he was looking at.

"We're gonna have a lot of company, sir."

Charging down the hill was a massive army of dark ponies. They didn't look normal with off the darkness on their armor and in their coats. What made it worse was that a very disturbing presence was leading the charge, with someone Shining cared about following right behind him.

"Twily," he thought to himself. " what has he done to you?"

"Sir?" Shield asked.

"Get all the guards informed and prepare for the worst."

By know the army was entering the city from all over the east and were swarming the streets. Ponies was panicking all over the streets and the dark soldiers were rounding up the guards they Captured and forcing the civilians indoors. Sombra wanted everypony in the city to fear him once again.

The guards had lost over half the ground between the east entrance and the Crystal Palace. While the soldiers were fighting the guards head on, Sombra was bust forcing them into surrendering by hitting them with a powerful attack of using his infamous fear spell, scaring the ponies into dropping their weapons, while Twilight was recreating any of the troops they lost to fighting.

Shining tried to stop Sombra as soon as possible and fought him one on one. While he seemed to have the upper hoof at the start, he was struck with a powerful blow and Sombra rendered the unicorns horn powerless. After the battle the guards hurried their Prince back to the Palace.

Sombra used a large amount of magic to combat Shining but was still able to continue. So he rejoined the army at another guard position. He looked ahead and saw that there were more guards waiting to try their best against the army. One thing Sombra knew was that this was going to be a long battle.

Author's Note

Well fillies and Gentalcolts, it this chapter is finally done. It took a long (long, long, long long) time to do with everything that has happened at school. I've been very bust with subjects that I really din't wanna do but the school make me anyway. So the first part of the battle is done and will continue on in the next chapter.

Leave a comment about how you think I'm going in this story and give a rating.

The plan

Sombra and Twilight were camped several miles from the Crystal Empire but were well hidden. It had been a month and a half since the fight with the royal sisters and Twilight had learned a lot about black magic from her husband. During their time in hiding they had developed a plan and an army they made using the creation spell. The army was camped not far from the couples location. The lovers were observing the city under the night sky while going over the plan once more.

"Once you make your way through the city using the spell I used to become Forest Mist..." Sombra started.

"And I'll take the Crystal heart and hide it away so you and the army can march through the city." finished Twilight.

"Exactly, and when we come into the city, we will make our way toward the palace and force the Crystal princess and prince to surrender."

"Yeah... right." Twilight responded with a worried expression.

"Remember Twilight, they will never forgive you for what you did, helping me fight the princesses and what happened at Canterlot."

"Yeah. I know."

Sombra looked back at the camp and saw their army was getting for the upcoming battle. Then he turned his attention back to the city and watched the Crystal ponies who were going their lives like nothing was wrong. Would they be in for a surprise in tomorrow. He looked at Twilight who was now looking tired.

"How about we turn in for the night my dear?" Sombra said, wrapping his hoof around Twilight, pulling her close. "You are looking tired."

"That sound good to me my king. We got a big day tomorrow." Twilight replied. The two of them made their way back to their tent.

Twilight and Sombra were lying in bed together. While Sombra had already gone to sleep, Twilight was awake and lost in thought. There had been something bothering her for a short while and she needed to tell Sombra. But Twilight thought that it would be better if she told him after the battle ahead so it doesn't bother him. This was a serious topic that she really needed to discus with Sombra. But Twilight wasn't sure how to explain it to him and was thinking about how to tell him.

"My love," she heard Sombra say. "What troubles you?"

"I thought you were asleep Sombra."

"I was awakened when I realized that you were not sleeping next to me."

"Sorry my love. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"I'll tell you after the battle tomorrow."

"As you wish my dear. Now please get some sleep."

"Okay Sombra."

And with that, the couple went to sleep.
