Chapter three: Payback and plans

The Red team was relaxing for there was no attack by the Blu team since their Sniper's disappearance, but some the Red team members were getting concerned for the Sniper, and went out to other maps to search for him, but the announcer said to them to stay and guard the intelligence with their lives. "I hope the Sniper is okay," the Red female Scout said with a worried look on her face.

"We hope so too lassie," the Red Demoman agreed to his fellow Red team mate, "But if we know our Snipers well, I'm sure the lad can handle his himself." Then came the very same laugh the Snipers use. "Was that any of you lads?" the Red Demoman asked the Red Snipers next to him.

"That wasn't any of us mate," one of the Red Snipers replied to the Red Demoman.

"That's because it was mine, you wankas," a voice said to the Red team members from out of nowhere, "It's so good to be back home."

"Who and where the bloody hell are you?" the Red Sniper asked the voice, "Come out and show yourself so that we can talk to you in person," he demanded.

"Very well then, mates," the voice said as the Red team members saw a black shadow like mist appear before their eyes, but the black mist soon turned into a black Sniper in a black jacket, wearing a black cape that went from around his waste down to his feet, navy blue jeans, and was armed with a huntsman, katana sword, and a bushwacka for weapons, "It's good to see you wankas again," the Sniper said as he floated down towards the Red team members.

"Is that really you lad?" the Red Demoman asked the black Sniper as he nodded in response to the Red Demoman's question, "What has happened to you lad?"

"I actually found a way to become more powerful than you pikers could ever think," the Shadow Sniper replied, "I'm not the old Sniper that you wankas had no respect for anymore," he continued getting furious with a flaming purple aura forming around him, "I'am a new and improved version, the one and only Shadow Sniper, and now it's payback time." He used his energy blast on one of the Red Snipers which killed the Red. The blast made a huge concussion which the Blu team members on the other side of the map could feel from their base and went out to investigate what made that concussion and saw the Shadow Sniper glow purple and beating the living crap out of his former Red team members.

"Who the hell is that?" the Blu Scout asked, but he made the mistake of saying that as the Shadow Sniper stopped from beating the living daylights out of the Red team members and turned around to look at the watching Blu team with his evil eyes glowing green.

"I'll deal with you pikers later," the Shadow Sniper said to his former Red team members that were still alive as the Shadow Sniper telaported out of the sights of the Blu's.

"Where did he go?" the Blu Soldier asked.

"Right behind ya' mate," the Shadow Sniper said to the Blu team members and he struck the Blu Soldier in the back with his bushwacka. The other Blu team members ran back to their spawn hoping that he wouldn't even follow and that they would be safe from him.

Once they made it through, they saw the Shadow Sniper, and started taunting him, "Ha ha, you can't get to us now, can you?" the Blu Scout said to the Shadow Sniper.

But to their horror, the Shadow Sniper actually made into the Blu team's spawn without a single problem, "You were saying, wankas?" the Shadow Sniper asked them, "Now who's first?" as he pulled out his bushwacka and his katana sword.

A few hours later:

After a few minutes of unrelenting bloodshed with the Blu and Red teams, the Shadow Sniper was meditating at the 2fort bridge, when he heard a familiar voice call out to him from inside his head, 'Shadow Sniper..."

"My Master," the Shadow Sniper said, "Is it really you?"

'Yes it is my apprentice,' King Sombra replied to his student, 'Now listen, in three years on your world, I shall be free from my imprisonment in the Arctic North, but in my world it will be a thousand years until then,' he explained to the Shadow Sniper, 'I want you to train and be ready for my return, then come back to our Empire, do you understand my apprentice?' he asked him.

"Yes my master, I understand what I must do," the Shadow Sniper replied to his master.

'Good, very good,' King Sombra said, 'I'll be looking forward to seeing you again at our Empire of Crystals.'

"As will I, my master," the Shadow Sniper agreed.

Three years later:

The Shadow Sniper was waiting for a portal to open so that he could get into the Crystal empire. But there was no portal to be found opening and he was getting furious at this. But instead of letting out an energy blast of Dark Magic in anger like he normally would, he actually created a portal, and on the other side of that portal was the Crystal Empire; the very same Empire that his beloved master trained him into using Dark Magic. He gave out an evil smile as he walked through the portal that he created, ready to support his master in taking back their own Empire of Crystals from the control of the Royal pony sisters of the Sun and Moon.

'Master,' he called out to his master through his mind, 'I have made it to our beloved Crystal Empire.'

'Excellent my faithful apprentice,' King Sombra said to the Shadow Sniper through his thoughts, 'Now you must find the Crystal Heart before Princess Celestia's most faithful student does, I put it in the secret vault in under my old throne room, and when you have it, you must destroy it.'

'I understand what I must do my master,' the Shadow Sniper continued to say to his master in his thoughts, 'I shall not fail you.'

'I know you won't my apprentice,' King Sombra said to his student of the shadows, 'Good luck.'

And with that, the tyrant of the Empire of Crystals' student turned into his shadow form, and went to his master's old throne room as he said to himself, "Ready or not student of Princess Celestia, because here we come."

To be continued...
