Redemption: original

Chapter 14

Sombra sat In his tent, looking over the tactical map. It had changed completely compared to when he saw it for the first time. His army had steadily moved closer and closer to the Diamond Dog capital forcing the Diamond Dog army to fall back. By outmaneuvering and separating the Diamond Dogs they were dealing massive casualties to the enemy and for the first time since the campaign began they were winning. Sombra was brought out of his thoughts when his tent was opened. Eve and another soldier a orange and blonde stallion wearing full armor walked in and saluted him. Sombra had been relieved when Eve had recovered from her wounds he hoped that when the war was finally over he could propose to the beautiful and intelligent mare. "General Sombra this is Crystal Sentry I believe he is the perfect soldier to lead the second legion." She said in her professional tone that he loved to mock when they were in private. Sombra reached out with his right hoof to shake Crystal Sentry's hoof, suddenly everything changed. They were now in the throne room of the Crystal Empire, Sombra was in his kingly armor and sitting on his throne his hoof still outstretched, Crystal Sentry was covered in bruises his armor removed, one of Sombra's personal guards held a sword to the stallion's throat. Just behind them Evening Ray stood in the center of the room looking up at Sombra, tears streaming from her eyes and very pregnant."Please Sombra, don't do this." She pleaded. "Please." Her tears were suddenly replaced with blood.

Sombra awoke to a swift kick in his ribs. "SOMBRA!"

Caught completely off guard he shouted awake and looked around confused. It took him a second to figure out what was going on. He was deep in Apple Jack's orchard where he had taken a nap while trying to avoid work from the farmer mare, who was now glaring at him. "Oh, you finally found me."

Apple Jack glared at him with the intensity of a guard that just found a thief. "Ah did. Now Sombra you need to get off your lazy flank an git back to work. Ah need you to go pl-"

"IF YOU SAY TO GO PLOW A FEILD, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE SINCE YOU ARE AN APPLE FARMER IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'R CROPS DIE EVERY YEAR, BY FAUST I WILL LITERALLY BEND YOU OVER WITH YOUR FACE IN THE GROUND AND PLOW YOU INSTEAD!" Sombra threatened knowing exactly what she would say next, and remembering the terrible experience of the last time he was at the farm. He looked straight into her eyes and stood up to make his threat seem as real as possible. "I WILL MAKE you..." his commanding voice faded to a whimper when he realized that instead of having an expression of fear on her face Apple Jack was blushing with embarrassment. She wasn't imagining what he would do to her with fear, but rather with desire. Sombra stood there dumbfounded by what he was seeing for a few moments. "...Wait what?... You would actually like for that to happen?!"

Apple Bloom finally finished her homework and ran down stairs to eat a snack in celebration. When she got to the kitchen she was surprised to find Sombra sitting at the kitchen table his back facing her and, holding something to his face. "Sombra? What are you doing inside, I thought Apple Jack was having you work outside?" The gray stallion turned to face her letting her see that he was holding an ice pack. Now realizing that he was somehow hurt she began to imagine what could possibly cause enough damage to the immortal stallion that he would need to treat the wound. "What happened to you?!" Sombra removed the ice pack from his face revealing a horseshoe shaped purple bruise across the right side of his face.

Apple Jack spoke up from the other side of the kitchen. "Yeah! What did happen to ya Sombra?" Apple didn't know what was going on between them but for some reason her sister was practically shooting daggers out of her eyes.

Sombra paused for a moment. "AH don't seem to remember. But whatever it was, it was worth it." Sombra smiled widely, while Apple Jack was giving him a glare of death, leaving Apple Bloom utterly confused.
