Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The train ride was long and hard... ok not really hard but with Twilight asking a lot of question and I do mean a lot. She could have an entire book fill and that won't be enough, even if she wrote small. She knew I had a lot a knowledge about theories, magic, technology, dimensions,and worlds and those topics aren't enough. At one point that I didn't mention until now that I thought she would dissect me to see all my knowledge I had but really I'm pretty stupid. I sometimes ignore common sense, I stop caring about myself, and I'm usually shot than asked questions later, I would have died about fifty-times if I didn't have my team or my powers. Then I realize Spike isn't with her so I asked. "Hey, Twilight where's, Spike"
She stop a moment when I spoke up."Oh, Spike his busy with the library back in Ponyville."
"Oh ok."
"Ok so back to-."
"Twilight?"
"Yeah, Frankie?"
"I not going to answer any of questions so stop asking."
"But you knowledge not from-."
"Twilight I'm not really smart, in fact I'm pretty dumb."
"You not dumb."
"I be all tough but really if you ever look at my past, my plans are risky and plain stupid. I try to over throw my opponent with power not many skill in that."
"Yeah but-."
"But nothing I ignore common sense, get into unnecessary fights in mission, and let's just say I sometimes forget I have moves that can cheaply win a match."
Twilight became silent for while but Rainbow spoke up.
"Horse apples who cares about being smart, as long as you know something you can't be stupid."
Damn, Rainbow just read me like a open book, I guess this is her payback for pawning her off to Rarity. Twilight got her mind back to normal and started asking question that would have to answer now. After the second question Twilight notice Kyle. "Oh and who might you be?" She asked Kyle.
"I am uhh-" He stare at me with a look for me helping him. I only stared back at him with a look telling him to man up. "I'm Kyle-"
He froze when he notice was starring at him so deeply.
"He talked" Twilight was in a little shock and then asked. "How can you talk?"
I didn't do anything and Kyle would wet himself if he wasn't going to man up. The train finally got to the Crystal Empire, it happen a lot sooner once Twilight stop nagging me but for Kyle it felt like forever.

Once we got off the train we heard somepony shout Twilight's name. It was a white stallion who shouted Twilight.
"Hey Shining how's my bbbff doing" Twilight said with Kyle and I look confused.
"Great I see you brought Rainbow Dash and-" once he saw me he grew a angry face. "Who's he."
"Shining calm down he's just a friend."
"He better be."
I felt like taunting but I show self-control which I rarely do."I'm Frankie and this is my friend Kyle."
"Hello" Kyle added.
"Brother don't be rude introduce yourself" Twilight said to him.
"Uh yes, I'm Shining Armor Co-ruler of the Crystal Empire and husband to princess Cadance so you shouldn't miss with me."
I thought for a while of which would piss him off more if I stole Cadance or Twilight or I somehow I take both. I chuckle at that and the thought of him threatening me but I than proceed to say "Cool I killed three gods, two deadly beasts by myself, and me and a bunch of other people was able to rebel a giant volcanic monster" I didn't let any tears release when I say that last part.
Then Shining and the others look at me like I was fill with complete horse crap. "Sure so what brings you to the Crystal Empire?" Shining asked.
"I'm looking for my orbs and some fell in the Crystal Empire."
"Well yes umm we have found thirteen orbs you speak of but can we be sure they yours?"
"Easy, there my's if I absorb them it I don't it doesn't have to do with but-"
"But what?"
"I'm sensing twenty so seven orbs are missing."
"Well if you can sense them they should be no problem locating them."
"Yeah sure" I shutter that bit "Please come show me these orbs."
"Aright let's go."

As we walk to the Crystal Empire from the train station I felt a sudden chill but I brush it off. We enter the city and my first note was the crystals everywhere, I guess that's why they call it the Crystal Empire. I wonder if the crystal ponies can break easily but I than realizes that their crystals not glass so they won't break easily well physical that is. As we got closer to the centre I notice the landmark is missing.
"Hey, Shining where's the Crystal heart?"
"It's getting clean."
Some reason this feels stupid to not a anything there. It might look empty but at least put a fake so if anything that made the crystal heart a landmark would stay away but as long as they have it I guess it's ok. We enter the castle and went to the throne room. As I enter I saw a pink alicorn which I'm guessing she the princess that rules the Crystal Empire but the only question is why isn't she a crystal pony, I decided not to asked. After Twilight and Cadance did their hoof-shake I asked about my orbs and then almost immediately get scolded for being so rude by Shining Armor.
"Don't be rude introduce yourself and bow to the princess" Shining said formerly.
"Sorry I'm Frankie and this is Kyle" I show Kyle, "but I don't bow to anyone unless they earn it and being princess is nothing but a rank."
"We you-" Shining said but soon got interrupted by his wife.
"It's ok Shining, so anyways you wanted the orbs correct?"
"Yes please."
"Ok Flash."
"Yes princess?"
"Would you kindly fetch the orbs that was found some days ago."
"Yes ma'am" He said while leaving to go get the orb. I thought for a moment of the phase Cadance just use. It reminded me a brainwashing for some reason and it felt odd to use it here of all places but I guess it didn't matter, I just wanted to make a note.
A few minutes later Flash return with the orbs. "So how does absorb the orbs he's not a unicorn?" Shining whispered to Twilight but only told him to watch.
I soon touch the orbs and they disappeared and only shocking the guards, Shining, and Cadance.
"How did he?" he tried to asked Twilight.
"I still figuring that out" said Twilight
"I say, don't question it like Pinkie" Rainbow Dash added.
"That is a wise choice I guess" Twilight said.
"I want to look around the castle is that ok?" I asked.
"Sure just-" She was interrupted by a injured guard running in the room.
"Cadance the crystal heart has be stolen."
"WHAT! but who did this?" Cadance asked.
"It was... Sombra" the guard then went down, probably from the injuries.
After hearing the name Sombra, Cadance quickly cast a shield spell to surround the city. "I can't tell if that was a smart move or not" I said.
"How is it not a smart move" Twilight asked.
"You probably just trap Sombra here, You could panic the entire empire from the sudden shield, do you want me to go on because I can think of some more ideas."
"I think that's ok" Cadance said.
"So what do we do?" Shining asked.
"Easy find this Sombra and take him down, and also calming the citizens" I said.
"Taking down Sombra isn't easy and since we don't have the crystal heart it makes it impossible" Cadance said.
"You might can'y but I can probably take him."
"No offence, Frankie but he powerful even for you" Shining said.
"Not to mention you lost your powers" Rainbow pointed out.
"Yeah well I got most of my powers back well at least to take out this Sombra."
"I'm sorry but I don't want to put you danger" Cadance said.
"Yeah you might not come back if you lose" Twilight added.
"So what if I can't come, you shouldn't care what happens to me, I'm not a citizen, heck you barely know me. All I know there going to be hurting to someone and I whether not wait until happens. I'm going and you not stopping me" I tried to exit but the door suddenly shut.
"Sorry I don't want to put you endanger."
"You really think closing the door can stop me?" I asked Cadance.
"Yeah?" Cadance said with a confusing look.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" I shouted leaving Kyle behind and the others.

I warp to the edge of town where a pony carrying a crystal heart is in front of me. I take out Slayer and pointed at him. "Hand over the heart."
"What!?" the thief just stands wondering how I just teleported.
"Just hand over the heart and I will promised your still have all your body parts still attach to you.
"Never I never hand over the heart."
"They why are you keeping it?"
"What do you mean King Sombra wants it."
"Sombra wants the item that causes his own fail that seems stupid why not destroy it."
"Because uhhh..." It's true the thief had no reason to hold on to it once it was out of place, King Sombra had no used for it. "Thanks for the idea" He said then throwing the heart to the ground, then there was glass everywhere and I just stand there grinning.

Rainbow Dash's POV

We just stood there shocked. I forgot he could teleport, which I say is awesome to get move that fast with no limits blocking you.
"Did he just teleported?" Shining asked.
"Oh yeah I forgot he could that" Twilight said.
"Me too" Rainbow added.
"But how?" Cadance asked.
"I'm not sure about that and he told us not to worry about and learning from Pinkie I didn't want to find out." Twilight answered.
"What should we do now?" Kyle asked.
"I guess we should get rid of the shield and calm anypony down" Shining said then looked at Kyle and Rainbow. "You two should look for, Frankie before something bad happens to him."
"Ok"Kyle and Rainbow said in the same time. When everyone got their orders they went out.

Frankie's POV

I left the thief with his many injuries I gave him. I then proceed to the giant black smoke that was outside the city. When I made it to the shield Cadance made it suddenly disappeared. As I walked closer to the black smoke a dark creature appeared. My senses are telling me my orbs took a form similar to the one standing in front of me. I only assume that I have to face seven orbs that turn into seven dark creatures. I starred at my opponent with my sword drawn. The dark orb than attack and I let it hit me to see how much damage it would do. I back off and looked at my injuries. I barely lost any blood but my stamina got drained a bit. Seeing of the damage that was given I laugh at this King Sombra skills, his controlling seven of my orbs and use it to do jack-shit. I quickly dash right in front of the creature and started stabbing it. My sword change into a dagger so I could stab easier. I got rid of the creature pretty easy and I absorb the orb. As I got up I saw Rainbow and Kyle halfway though the city, I wonder if they can see the puff the black smoke that's outside of the city. I turn and see another creature and I got ready to fight by switch my sword back to normal. We exchange stares at each other waiting for one of us to make a move. The creature move first with it's weapon a standard sword. We clash swords together, it lead and I only copy. The creature decided to back off for a bit which was a good choice. I decided to back off as well and active a spell. The spell makes my right arm or hoof become a sword, so basically a arm-sword that comes with it's skill that only use this way, the bad thing is once you done with it, it's makes your sword-hand twitches like crazy. The creature than spawn a bunch of small creatures. I only guess that the orb is my spawn orb than. It spawn many so I stab the ground "I destroy all" I said then spike destroy my enemies and leaving a orb. I went to pick it up but I got interrupted by a shot. I starred at where my sniper came from. It came from a cliff but with the smoke around it's going to be hard to fight. I had to change back so I can start shooting but before a giant twitch-attack. I decided to use my needle palm on my left arm and leave my sword-hand twitching. I absorb the orb and start running towards the cliff and when I got close I started shooting the cliff to make it fall. We were now at a disadvantage, my melee sucks and he can't really get up and personal. At time I wish to have the iron gauntlet, those things are so strong, serious why doesn't Link go slapping his opponents to death. It was a drawn out battle leaving me the victor and finally having the twitchy hand gone, I put away my needle palm and absorb the orb. As I proceed inwards of the smoke I wonder if my powers are really weak and I just weak because my orbs were pretty easy, as not at least long, it's like spamming the dodge button in a video game. When I finally got to the heart of the smoke I saw the four dark creatures and king Sombra.
"Hey are you Sombra by any chance?" I mock him.
"It's King Sombra you low life, Get rid of the girl" He command to the orbs.
"Girl?! I show you to be calling me a girl" I said and then stab the ground. I then rush follow to the first orb while my sword destroy the ground underneath it. When I slash upward near the first creature and a stone pillar went piercing though the creature. It went down pretty easy with kind of made me sad how weak I might be. I absorb the orb and equip tiger claws and went beating the shit out of the next creature, King Sombra only watch. Once I'm done with this one and absorb the orb , I move quickly to the next two and slice and dice. The creatures didn't even stand a chance expressly since my claws can petrify my them, yeah can't get enough more op. I put away my claws which made Sombra confuse a little.
"Why are you putting those away?" He asked.
"Because beating you with those is way to easy."
"You think I'm weak?"
"Sure I just destroy your body guards and I want to face you."
"Fairly well but say you last wishes-"
"Frankie."
"Say you lasted wishes Frankie because those are your last words" He said then dismissed the smoke and draws his scythe.
"One on one and no help from anyone which means no spawning anything."
"Anything to meet your demise."

We stand on a flat surface, our eyes intimidating each other to no end. I went first with a jump slash, he blocks it easily with his scythe.
"Is this the best you got?" he taught.
"No but-" I stab the ground and slash upwards again causing the same stone pillars to rise but on going farther then usually. "This is better."
"You not unicorn so how are you doing this?" he asked
"Let's just say-" I summon a fireball "I'm special" I said then tossing the fireball at him which he dodge easily. As we fight Rainbow and Kyle notice the fight and went to tell the others. "Is this what you got?" I asked him.
He only respond in shooting a laser and I tanked the shot. "You enjoy that?"
"Is that all try this for you size. Chaos Spear" yellow spear were summon and fire at him, only one hit him and I could tell it hurt that and they was blood. "Is that all you can handle?"
"Don't toy with me Frankie" he said with a dark stare.
I only grin, I wanted to see if he was really deadly. "Stop playing around I know you have more power, fight me with that power."
"You will regret this" he said and went charging at me with his weapon and a bunch of lasers. I dodge most of the laser but letting still hitting me. When he got close the lasers started coming from behind but on angle to miss Sombra no matter what. I block his scythe with my sword and block his hoofs with my other hoof, while having the lasers hitting me. My sword-hand begin to fail and soon his scythe toss my sword behind me. I quickly recover and force palm his chest which sent him flying. Instead of picking up my sword I leap towards him and Falcon Punch him with a fiery blaze scenting him back even more. I rush towards him but get block by the scythe trying to slice my head off. I grab the blade of the scythe with my gauntlet and then tossing it to the side. After I toss it I saw the gang coming with a lot of guards and medics Sombra got up without any problems. As I turn to face Sombra, he punch me in the stomach hard and I went down.
"How?" I asked him while the other lay in shock of the event.
"Did you ever wonder-" he kick me, sending me back. "why your orbs were so weak" he stand up and put one of his hind legs on my neck.
"You drain them didn't you?"
"Smart boy."
"So why are you doing this anyways?"
"I'm glad you asked" he got off me. "Did you even notice how many stallions there are?"
"Not many."
"Exactly, we males don't get any credit offend and I'm here to change that."
"I guess I got a wrong idea of you."
I notice what I said and help me got up. "Did get though to you, can you see me idea."
"Yeah I see your idea and-" we did a hoofshake and then hug. "I know your BAD-SHIT INSANE!" he flinch at my words and before he knew it, he was toss. I then proceed to kick him to the stomach, which sent him back. "Do you really think you could change anything" I said and went to pick up my sword.
"Not really-" he went to get his scythe. "I just needed a way to have your power, I don't give any bucks about any genders, I just want power."
"Killing me won't grant you my powers" I said firmly.
"No but you know as much as I do, Shadow's powers is also given to the person that killed the owner."
"Wait, Frankie you have dark powers?" Twilight asked.
"How to you think I could do all those tricks before, last I check I'm not a unicorn."
"It all makes sense now but doesn't that make you evil."
"I don't know you asked me, I'm helping the Crystal Empire, I saved ponies becoming food" I could say a few more but I didn't want do.
"Don't forget all those times how you got your team almost killed, not to mention that giant war you cause to a beast" Sombra said cockily.
"WHAT when did this happen?" Twilight asked.
"Before he came here to Equestion" Rainbow answered.
"Wait you knew how?" Shining asked.
"He told me."
"I do wonder why you lik-" Sombra got interrupted.
"SHUT UP" I begin to let my dark powers flow inside me, changing my attitude completely. As the powers flow everywhere in my body, it started to change. My wings became cosmic black, the red strips in my mane also became cosmic black, and even my sword got cover by my own darkness. Everyone except Sombra lay there in shock on how I change form.
"Look like I hit a nerve, oh well it won't help you."
"Your be looking for help when I'm done with you" my voice change as well, into a dark deep voice. I charge at him and aiming his legs. He took his scythe and swing it with the blade cutting into my leg. He tried pulling the leg off back but it fail and left him expose. I swing my sword like if it was a club, hurting him deeply. I back off, stealing his weapon but only licking my own black blood to refuel myself. He cast a spell to my his scythe to attack me and I just let it do so. I didn't even feel any pain but I could tell my body could fail soon. I ran towards him quickly and I could see in his eyes he was finish. All of the sudden he was surprise that I was back to normal, everything about me went back to normal, my colour, my blood, my sword return to normal.
I only stare at and stopping his scythe with my magic. "Why?" he asked me and all I did was brought out the crystal heart. He soon asked "How did you get that it was destroy from my spy."
"Yeah and we saw the crystal's shards around that spy what gives?" Twilight asked.
"Did you really think I let the crystal heart get destroy."
"But-."
"You only saw shatter glass, it was to fool anypony into believing the heart was destroy."
"Quick send it back so can defeat, Sombra" Twilight said with me only holding Sombra down, trying to locate something. "Uhh what are you doing?"
"Defeating, Sombra isn't enough, Twilight" I said to her finally finding his heart.
"What are you doing to me?" Sombra asked.
As he finish that sentence, I shoved my hoof into his body though a portal. "This" I pulled out the rest of my powers he stole and a black and sticky. I then shine the crystal heart, vanishing it and then I create a mini crystal heart and place it where his heart was. He soon change shape and colour and the first to take make a move was Cadance.
"DAD!" she yell happily and soon tackling him.
"Dad!?" everyone said together.
This tyrant was now a light blue pony and father to Cadance. "I'm sorry, Cadance I'm sorry. We all soon went to the castle and calming everypony and placing the crystal heart to where it needs to be.

"So that's what happen" Cadance said in relief. Sombra or now Arthur explain on how he gave himself up to save his people but only then find out his body was use to hurt ponies.
"I'm very sorry about what happen when I was Sombra I'm truly am and I sorry I block you magic Shining."
"I wasn't your fault but you should try to make it up to your daughter because she had to hold up the barrier up for a long time."
"Your such a thought for pony I'm happy to call you my son-in-law."
"Thanks."
"And thank you too, Twilight for saving my daughter at her wedding."
"It was no problem at all."
"And I can't thank enough to... where's, Frankie?"
Everyone soon notice I was outside of the room listening in. "Maybe he's outside?" said Kyle. That was my cue to leave. I slash the ground saying that I'm gone and then teleported out of there. Leaving my friends in a confusion state.
