A Butler Dark as Night

So close... He was so close to destroying that vile crystal heart! If only that accursed princess wasn't there! If only he thought to used the black crystals to stab all surrounding him! He should have.

No he floats in this place. This accursed place full of silver smoke. He stands in front of two doors. One black and one white. The black door emanates a black miasma and the white door emanates a hopeful aura.He stands at a crossroads.

He thinks," So they want me to decide which path I choose. Hmmph." He walks over to the black door and examines it. He then checks the white door. He looks to the back and sees nothing. However, he notices a third path, one he can see. So he does not choose and continues to walk on that path.

He passes windows, but does not look through them. Eldritch beings roam outside. Phantoms of the past dance to the tunes of the future. Quite simply put, if one were to look into the madness, they themselves would find they themselves have failed to keep their sanity.

He continues to walk past all these things.

God is bored. To be fair, he's not really God. Being God makes him seem like he is all-powerful. He's not. He is not all-knowing. He is simply a fragment of God. When God made all the multiverses, he did the most convoluted delegation ever.

Splitting himself into an infinite amount of pieces to split up his infinite knowledge, infinite power, and infinite presence. He then delegated each God to a universe. These God fragments then split themselves into even smaller fragments which they delegated the small stuff to.

This particular God ( Lets call him Philosophysics) is one of the lazier ones. He delegated everything going on in this version of Equestria. Recently its been boring as hell, so he's been reading the reports from other universes such as Hayate the Combat Butler and Kuroshutuji universes. They conveniently come in manga and anime forms.

Philosophysics sighed," I'm bored!" He throws the book against the wall. His servant picks it up and says,"Maybe if you were actually doing your job. Wait... You delegated all the fun jobs to your angels."

He glares at his servant."My version of Equestria is boring as hell Falco! I mean nothing interesting ever happens! Its going exactly the same way as that TV show on that planet whachamacallit Earth! Hellfire! I wish I could put something in it! But dammitall, I'm a nice guy and I don't want to mess up their peaceful lives."

"Maybe you shouldn't have created the alicorn species."

"Oh come on, that was fun! I mean look at that immortal family drama that popped up!" Philosophysics spins around in his chair."Ponyville was fun... Maybe I should add something else, but what?"

A knock on the door. Philosophysics glances at Falco," Whose that?"

Falco checks his tablet," None of the other Gods are coming over for a 'meeting' as you guys like to call it."

Philosophysics groans," Tell Loki I demand a rematch in that game of Poker. I know he cheated!"

Another knock.

"Should I open it?"

"Sure." Philosophysics ducks under his desk. Falco approaches the door which explodes into a large black crystal.

"I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE I AM!!!!!!!!!!" Sombra bellows.

Philosophysics looks at the unperturbed Falco who has landed lightly next to him. "Is that Sombra?"

"It appears so. Somehow he skipped the choosing of light and darkness."

"Damn! He only got five lines in that show on Earth!"

"Silence!" Another crystal shoots out to impale Philosophysics.

"MY MANGA!" Philosophysics jumps up.

"I knew you were slacking off again." Falco says.

"But this is good!" Sombra finds himself unable to move. Surrounded by a antromorphic falcon and a human in robes, he threatens,"Release me!"

"Well, technically I am God of this universe. AND you're going to be a butler!"

"What!?" Sombra bellows.

Philosophysics places his face right in front of Sombra's face. "Now. Now. Be a good little pony and hear me out."

Sombra spits in his face."Never!"

"Falco, Open up the hatch back to Equestria for me!" Falco proceeds to open up the slot that says,"Chute to Equestria", Philosophysics begins to stick his head in the chute looking for someone innocent to reform Sombra. He finds one almost instantaneously."Ooh, Found one!"

Sombra struggles to get away from the madman."Let me go!"

"Ok, but here's the deal!" Philosophysics rubs his hand together giddily." You'll now become the butler of Sweetie Belle! You'll follow all her orders and resolve to keep her safe. You'll be a nice pony right?"

"NO!"

"Do it for your wife," Philosophysics says.

"What right do you-"

"Every right. No right. I'm just an overseer whose bored. Also the overseer whose giving you a chance to make up for your sins."

Sombra is silent. "Good, you agree to the contract!"

So saying, Philosophysics chucks Sombra in the chute. Falco closes it and turns to Philosophysics."Are you sure that was a good idea?"

"Nope. But the best results often come from the worst ideas! Who knows? Maybe, he'll help get Discord under control." Philosophysics stands nodding sagely.

Falco looks at him." And its not because you were just watching butler manga?"

Philosophysics shrugs,"Well, that too."

Sweetie Belle is outside studying her magic. She attempts to cast a simple levitation spell from a book she borrowed at Twilight's library. If she had looked closely, the title would have read,"Guide to Summoning". To be fair, it was right next to "Guide of Levitation".

If the order of things did not happen the way it did prior to this event, a number of things could have happened. One was that she summons something that eats her. Another is that she survives, but the Elements of Harmony are needed. But the things did happen, so a tornado of black crystals appears in front of her.

Normally, she would have to draw the two pentagrams, one to entrap the summoner, one to protect herself, until a contract could be made. However, unknown to her a contract was already made prior.

The black crystals coalesce into the form of a unicorn missing its horn.

Sweetie Belle steps curiously forward wondering who that is.

Sombra laying on the ground opens one eye.

Sweeite Belle asks,"Who are you?"

"Sombra."

"Som-bra?" Sweetie Belle pronounces cautiously.

"Yes." Sombra wants to attack her, but can't.

Rarity comes out and checks on Sweetie Belle."Are you okay, Sweetie?"

Sombra stands abruptly,"YOU!!!" and pounces on her.

A single shrill voice shrieks," STOP!!!!!!!"

Philosophysics chews on a piece of popcorn,"Well that escalated quickly."

Falco whacks him on the head."Hurry up and turn off the TV!"

"But its just getting good!"

"Well, here!"

Falco dumps a large stack of papers on Philosophysics desk. Philosophysics groans.

"Oh, well. Sombra will get used to it." As Philosophysics gets to work, he forgets something important.

He didn't tell the alicorn species what's happening. To be fair, he's never actually contacted them ever. But still...
