A Dark Union

Though the people of Equestria lived happy and prosperous lives, there had always been those who sought to undermine or harm them and their way of life. Enemies and strange creatures of every nightmarish description would, from time to time, attempt to confront the peaceful people of that land, and claim it as their own. And time and again, those threats had been vanquished, thanks to the endless efforts of the Princesses and their allies. So, life went on for the people of Equestria, who would go about their days feeling safe and content, never believing in a million years that someone might actually be able to get to them. But, it is in such moments of complacency that evil is allowed to thrive. And in places far from the eyes of the Equestrians, plans would always be made to bring dark days to their happy little world.

One such plan was in motion right now, deep within the Everfree Forest. This realm within Equestria's borders had long been known as a "no-go" area for all, having been filled with dangerous beasts and monsters for as long as anyone could remember. Only the bravest ever ventured there, or perhaps, the most foolhardy. And that was exactly what made it the perfect place for a clandestine meeting. Or, to be more precise, it was the old and ruined castle at the Forest's heart that would serve such a gathering. This castle, which in ancient times had been the nation's capital and the seat of power for the two sisters, had been neglected for centuries, covered in overgrowth and suffering from disrepair. But it was no longer abandoned, at least, not for the time being.

For two groups were now present within the main entrance hall of the castle. On one side, an ordered regiment of soldiers, clad in dark and menacing armour, which covered so much of their bodies that even their faces were obscured, giving them the appearance of unfeeling juggernauts. On the other side was a less-orderly, though no less dangerous-looking, collection of warriors. They stood shorter than the soldiers, and were of a slim, yet still muscular build, with greatly pale skin and shaven heads, their eyes having an almost unnatural green tint to them. They were clad in nowhere near as much armour, sticking only to purple-coloured pauldrons, greaves and the occasional helmet. The rest of their bodies were clad in cloth of varying degrees of raggedness, and it was in this, unlike the armoured giants in front of them, that made it obvious that there were both males and females in this collection.

At the head of these two opposing groups were two lone figures. At the head of the soldiers was a man, tall and bearing a veritable lion's mane of black hair. His eyes bore a look of menace, aided greatly by the wisps of purple smoke that constantly streamed from them. He was clad in armour similar to his troops, though far less bulky in appearance, and upon his back was a long and flowing red cape. This was Sombra, former ruler of the recently-returned Crystal Empire, renowned as one of the most powerful practitioners of dark magic in Equestrian history. His fall at the hands of the two sisters a thousand years ago had become legend, as too had his more recent defeat at the hands of Equestria's latest generation of defenders, Twilight Sparkle and her closest friends.

Standing before him, at the head of the second group of warriors, was a woman. Slightly taller than Sombra, and thus towering over those that followed her. Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. Unlike Sombra and his followers, Chrysalis was dressed far less elaborately, wearing only a simple black dress, whose skirt trailed far behind her and bore many ragged edges to it. This outfit, while not exactly enough to have her be called "scantily clad", nevertheless exposed a great deal of her, including her legs, arms and shoulders, which did much to show off her incredibly pale skin. Her long green hair occasionally obscured one half of her face, where a single sinister green eye kept watch on her opposing number.

The two groups, and especially their respective leaders, kept watching each other intently for a good long while. However, the silence was eventually broken by Sombra, who cleared his throat a little before speaking, in that deep tone that had so often struck fear into the hearts of his enemies.

"So then...are we agreed to the terms?"

Chrysalis stared at him, her eyes narrowing slightly, before closing them and giving a short nod.

"Yes. When our shared venture is complete, the Northern Crystal Empire will be yours...while the Southern half of Equestria, including Canterlot, will belong to me and my forces."

Sombra nodded in response to that before raising a hand and gesturing to the side. Chrysalis glanced over to where he was pointing, a small wooden table, on top of which was a sheet of paper. It was their agreement in writing, with the basic terms all spelled out for all to see. The Queen nodded at him yet again before raising her own hand and snapping her fingers. Immediately, one of her drones, a male, walked up to her and pulled out a small dagger from his belt. Some of the soldiers standing behind Sombra began to stir at this, perhaps interpreting it as a threat to their King. But their hands were stayed by a look from Sombra, and they resumed their statue-like stances. Meanwhile, Chrysalis took the dagger in her right hand and placed the tip of it against the thumb on her left.

Walking over to the table, she waited until a large drop of blood had formed on the tip of her thumb before pressing it down hard on the paper, leaving her crimson mark upon the bottom of the page. It was not long before Sombra followed suit, save for using a dagger on his own belt rather than calling upon a servant. Soon enough, he too had left his bloody mark upon the treaty, right next to Chrysalis'. Placing the dagger back in it's holster, Sombra raised the paper and looked upon it, a smirk appearing upon his face.

"Signed and sealed."

Chrysalis gained a similar smirk upon her own face before turning to her warriors, giving them a short nod. They bowed in respect to her before turning and beginning to walk away, no doubt preparing to ready their other fighters for the battle that now officially lay ahead of them. Sombra looked upon his own soldiers and pointed to the front entrance of the castle, and they saluted in response before marching out in a tightly-knit formation, their heavy boots clashing loudly upon the stone floor of the ruin. After only a few moments, it was now only the two leaders together in this vast chamber. Turning to face her, Sombra spoke to his new comrade-in-arms.

"So...it will be some time before our combined forces are ready to strike. Is there anything you wish to discuss before we proceed?"

The Queen looked at him and pondered that for a moment before her mouth grew into a small smile.

"But of course! Although...I would prefer more...comfortable surroundings for such a discussion."

Sombra raised an eyebrow at that before seeing Chrysalis begin to move away from him. She gracefully walked up the nearby set of stairs, no doubt having somewhere special in mind already. Frowning slightly, Sombra began to follow her, his red cape flowing in the wind that penetrated every hole in these old castle walls. The dark King kept up with her fairly easily, and stayed with her in silence as she led him down a long hallway, before coming upon a worn and weathered wooden door, bearing the symbol of the sun upon it. Sombra tilted his head as Chrysalis approached the door, pushing it open with great ease. After following her inside, Sombra looked upon his new surroundings. An elaborate bedroom that had somehow managed to go without the same decay as the rest of the castle, filled with all manner of comfortable-looking furniture, including a rather large four-poster bed lined with pristine white sheets.

Looking around, Sombra noted the many sun symbols scattered about the place, and it was not long before he put all the pieces together in his mind.

"Celestia's old bedroom?"

Chrysalis chuckled a little at that before answering.

“Indeed. Say what you will about that accursed Princess, she had good taste in decorations."

The former ruler of the Crystal Empire couldn't help but return the chuckle as he glanced over to Chrysalis, who was taking a few steps towards a nearby drinks cabinet.

"Ah! Such a fine selection. We are most fortunate the Princess of the sun didn’t feel the need to take all this wine with her when the castle was abandoned."

Sombra nodded in agreement over that as Chrysalis opened the cabinet and took out a single wine bottle, making sure to dust it off before reaching for a pair of glasses in which to pour it. As she did so, Sombra began to really pay attention to his new partner. Not in terms of what she was doing, but in her appearance. While her rather ragged attire would give off the impression of a savage or dangerous person, there was very much an appeal to her. Much like the rest of her people, she had a fairly slim build, completely with a modestly-sized chest, at least when compared to the many other women he'd met in his time. But her overall look gave the feeling of the daggers the two of them had used earlier. Beautiful to behold, yet still unquestionably sharp and dangerous.

As his eyes wandered over her, from her bare back down to her mostly-exposed legs, he failed to notice that Chrysalis had finished pouring and was now glancing over in his direction. However, rather than feeling angry or indignant over his stares, Chrysalis merely gained a smirk upon her face before picking up the two wine glasses and moving towards him, causing him to quickly look up at her face again. In but a moment, the Changeling Queen handed him his glass, which he took from her. Having had his position of power for some time, Sombra was always wary of accepting drinks from others, and so gave the win a quick smell before feeling satisfied enough to take a sip. Chrysalis, chuckling somewhat, traced a single finger around the rim of her glass in an almost seductive manner.

"I must confess, Sombra, I look forward to working with you. After so many defeats at the hands of the Equestrians, seeing them fallen will be a most welcome sight."

Sombra looked at her as a similar smirk formed on his own face.

"Indeed. Those Princesses have been a thorn in my side for too long. To defeat them, to BREAK them, will grant me great pleasure, I can assure you."

Taking a small sip of wine, Chrysalis chuckled a little.

"It is a wonder, O King of shadows, that the two of us never thought to work together before now."

Sombra stopped drinking and gave the Queen his full attention.

"Agreed. A shame that such a...formidable woman such as yourself has lacked a strong ally to call her own."

Chrysalis smile grew slightly upon hearing that, though the laugh that followed it made it clear that Chrysalis was fully aware of her new partner's intentions.

"Flattery, my dear Sombra, will get you nowhere."

The dark King smirked at that before gently placing his wine glass aside on a nearby table, before clasping both hands behind his back and taking a few steps towards her.

"It is true. You command an entire legion of fierce warriors. You strike fear into the hearts of all who hear your name. And after our plan is finished, an entire half of the continent will be yours to reign over in whatever way you see fit. A man would have to be a fool not to see that it takes great strength for one to accomplish so much."

If she hadn't heard it, she wouldn't have believed it, but Sombra had just given Chrysalis a genuine compliment. Over the years, she'd prided herself on her ability to read people, and not once in those last few words of his had there been any feeling of deception or exaggeration. He meant every word of it. His motives for saying so were as plain as day, but it was the truth nevertheless. Thinking on the fact that this powerful and feared warrior-King had shown both respect and a clear attraction to her, it didn’t take a genius to figure out what kind of plan was forming in the Queen's mind as of this moment. The sly smile she gave him, which Sombra eagerly returned, would have sent a clear message even to a blind person. Taking a single, graceful step towards him, Chrysalis raised a hand and placed her finger gently under Sombra's chin.

"Well then, I may have to revise my policy on flattering words. Unless, of course, you plan to offer something a little more...enticing."

A pause broke out between the two, and as they stared deeply into each other's eyes, it was as if they were both silently daring the other to make the first move. They both felt their heartbeats increasing, knowing what was about to happen, but still they kept their cool as best they could, not wanting to show any sign of weakness, lest it come back to bite them later. Eventually though, sheer primal desire took control of both of them, as they simultaneously brought their faces towards each other, locking lips fiercely. Both Chrysalis and Sombra began to wrap their arms around each other, holding their respective partner closer while their tongues wrestled for domination within their mouths. As this encounter began to grow the heat they both felt, Sombra used his great strength to reach down and hoist the Queen's legs upwards, leading to her wrapping them around his waist. As they continued their intense making-out, Sombra moved forward, practically slamming his partner into the nearby wall. After a brief recovery, Chrysalis broke apart from the kiss and smirked at him.

"Eager, aren't we?"

Sombra smiled darkly at her before replying.

"I was stuck under the thick ice sheets of the North for a thousand years, Changeling. Believe me, I need this."

The talking ceased immediately as Sombra wrapped his arms around her yet again, and while Chrysalis began planting kisses all over his face, the King carried her over to the ornate bed on the other side of the room, before unceremoniously dumping Chrysalis upon it. Fortunately for the Changeling Queen, it was still soft even after all these centuries, and she merely bounced a little before assuming a more seductive pose, laying on one side with one hand resting on her hip. She watched as Sombra unbuckled his cape, allowing it to fall to the ground. As he began to work on similar buckles on the rest of his armour, his attention was immediately drawn to an eerie green glow, which he now saw was coming from the Queen's hand. It was as if her hand was engulfed in some kind of magical green fire, though from the amorous look she had on her face, it was clearly something she was looking forward to.

"Oh, there's no need for you to waste time on that, dear Sombra."

Before the King could react, Chrysalis thrust her hand forward, and the green flame completely surrounded Sombra. Although initially taken aback by this, Sombra's sense of worry died down once he realised that there was no pain being experienced here. Instead, he began to feel strange as, in the blink of an eye, he discovered, to his great surprise, that his armour had now completely disintegrated. As he glanced down at his now-exposed and very muscular body, he looked up with a raised eyebrow at Chrysalis, who was clearly enjoying the view. Here was a woman who did not like having to wait for what she wanted it seems, though Sombra's next words were more of annoyance more than genuine anger.

"You're lucky my servants brought a spare set of armour, just in case."

Chrysalis chuckled at that as she watched Sombra stride towards the bed. After crawling onto it, he watched as Chrysalis repositioned herself, lying flat on her back and giving him the opportunity to move above her. As he looked down at her, a lustful expression took hold on his face.

"I'd say it's time to even things out a bit then."

The Queen licked her lips a little, merely awaiting what her companion had in store for her. She knew that she could not feed from this act. There was no love between them, no affection. But this simple, raw lust was something they both shared, and she was not about to be denied having that kind of satisfaction today. So, she looked on as Sombra lowered himself, his lips now planted on the side of her neck. Chrysalis gripped tightly onto the bed sheets and bit her lower lip, not wanting any moans to escape her at this early stage. After a few moments of this, she managed to get some words out.

"I never took you for the teasing type."

The King let out a dry laugh before answering her.

"I haven't had a woman in centuries. I'm going to savour every...single...moment."

Sombra soon lived up to that claim, as his movements began to take him further down her, kissing down her neck and onto her exposed upper chest. It was here however that his hands got to work, gripping the top of her dark dress and savagely tearing it in two, pulling the fabric aside and revealing her breasts. As his earlier glances at her had suggested, they were not particularly large, but they were nevertheless just as enticing. He wasted no time as he began kissing one nipple after another, even going so far as to lick one of them, causing Chrysalis an even harder time of keeping her moans in.

Knowing the kind of reaction he was causing in her, Sombra smirked as he kept on moving down, tearing her dress further open to expose her stomach. Kiss after kiss was planted there as his movements took him increasingly close to her most private area. In this moment, he stopped and glanced upwards. The Changeling Queen gave a sly smile and nodded briefly, giving him all the permission he needed, as he tore open the last vestige of her garment, revealing her womanhood completely to him. His kisses seemed to have already yielded fruit, as there was already moistness down there, ready for him to continue his work. Smirking, he lifted up what remained of her dress and threw it aside on the floor before repositioning himself so his face was level with hers.

"Slick already, Chrysalis? I see I haven't lost my touch."

The Queen chuckled at that before replying.

"Don't think so highly of yourself, Sombra. After all..."

Before she finished, she moved her hands with a speed Sombra thought unthinkable, as she gripped onto his shoulders and, to his surprise, managed to throw him off her and onto his back on the adjacent side of the bed. Even faster was her movement afterwards as she now lay on top of him, her thighs straddling both sides of his waist. As she brought her face down with an almost hungry look, she finished her sentence.

"...you are not the only master of the carnal arts here."

Though he would have usually been furious at the prospect of having any semblance of power or control being literally wrestled away from him like that, today he was in a far more forgiving mood as his smile began to match Chrysalis'. But, before the Queen managed to start on anything, she glanced on both sides of them before chuckling a little.

"I'm sure scholars and philosophers could probably read a lot into the image of two rulers copulating in the bed of their common foe."

Sombra considered this for a moment before smiling evilly.

"True. Though I suppose the most obvious interpretation is that you, much like Celestia's reign, is will soon be well and truly fu-"

He was prevented from finishing that rather obvious statement by a finger to his lips from Chrysalis.

"Let's try and keep things from getting too vulgar, shall we?"

Sombra smirked at that before replying.

"Fair enough. Let's just stick to screwing each other's brains out. Much more tasteful."

After a quick roll of her eyes over that statement, Chrysalis regained her usual sultry look as she glanced down at her partner. Moving her legs slightly, she brought herself perfectly in-line with Sombra's exposed member, giving one final seductive glance at him before finally lowering herself, feeling him penetrate her as she did so. Closing her eyes, she let out a soft moan as she felt it move deeper within her. She made sure to move as slowly as possible, savouring every moment of it. Sombra took was feeling this, letting out a lustful grunt as he kept his eyes on the nude form of the Queen above him. Eventually though, Chrysalis could feel Sombra poking against her back wall, and knew that they could go no further. Gyrating her hips a little, she swivelled around on him, making sure both of them felt a pleasurable tingle with every passing second of this movement.

"So...big," Chrysalis moaned.

"So...tight," Sombra replied in turn.

Opening their eyes, the two rulers knew that with this threshold crossed, now was the time to get down to some serious work. So, after sharing a smirk with him, Chrysalis began to raise her hips upwards and downwards in a perfect rhythmic motion, eliciting moan after moan from not only Sombra but also herself. Raising both hands, she was sure to massage her breasts as she did this, wanting nothing more than to heighten this feeling as much as possible. Sombra too was enjoying this, raising his own hands and caressing the sides of Chrysalis' hips as she moved them, causing even further sounds of pleasure from his partner. This went on for some time, with Chrysalis only occasionally moving faster. It was clear that she wanted this to last as long as possible. After finally opening his eyes, Sombra let out a chuckle as he looked up at the Queen.

"I've...ugh...missed this."

Chrysalis also opened her eyes as she glanced down at him, her seductive expression never changing.

"Dare I ask what females you've partaken of in the past, dark King? I'd like to know my competition."

Sombra chuckled in-between moans as he considered that.

"As ruler of the Crystal Empire, I had my pick of all the fairest young maidens of that land. There was nothing quite like some sweet and timid young thing for me to share a bed with very once in a while."

Chrysalis let out a dry laugh at that.

"Inexperienced children. Mere girls. What you need, Sombra..."

Leaning down towards him, Chrysalis brought her face within an inch of his before planting a surprisingly tender kiss upon his lips before smiling.

"...is a woman."

The King of shadows had no doubt that this was exactly what he was receiving at this very moment. And with Chrysalis this close, he wanted to take advantage of it. So, before she could react, he wrapped his arms around her and brought her entire torso down on top of him, holding her close so that every inch of her body, in all it's unclothed beauty, was pressed hard against his own. Although taken aback by this forward display, Chrysalis was liking her partner's thinking. Reaching around, Sombra grabbed hard onto Chrysalis' buttocks and began feeling them with great vigour, causing more than a few pleasured yelps from the Queen. Smirking at this display, a dark urge took hold in him as he began to want nothing more than to make this woman his.

So, to Chrysalis' surprise, he held her tight as he rolled over, along with her, so their positions were reversed, with him now on top. If this was not enough, Chrysalis was dismayed at the sensation of Sombra actually pulling out of her completely. But before she could do anything to get him back in, she was taken aback by the King using his great strength to roll her over yet again, so that she was now lying flat on her stomach. It took little intelligence to figure out what Sombra had in mind, and her suspicions were soon confirmed as the man began to position himself so that he was immediately behind her, harkening to the image of wild animals mounting one another during mating season. Chrysalis, whose expression showed more than a little annoyance, called back to him.

"You think to rut a Queen, Sombra? As if she were some mere beast?"

She couldn't see him from this position, but she knew he was smirking back there as he spoke.

"Oh no...I seek to utterly make you mine!"

A humourless chuckle escaped Chrysalis upon hearing that.

"Foolish man. A Changeling Queen does not bow to any-ARGH!"

She was unceremoniously interrupted by the unmistakeable sensation of being penetrated. Although initially irritated at being put in this position, those thoughts were soon quelled by the return of the pleasurable sensations she'd been denied for the past few moments. Only this time, Sombra's movements were far more aggressive than before as he did his uttermost to assert dominance over the woman beneath him.

"Ugh! You feel more satisfying...oh...than any woman I've known, Chrysalis. Ah! Had that boy, Shining, known what this was like, he'd have never let that little sister of his ruin that wedding plan of yours."

Chrysalis chuckled in-between Sombra's thrusts as she considered that.

"Oh, believe me...ah...he'll regret many things before I'm done."

Even though this experience she was going through was no less pleasurable, the last thing Chrysalis wanted was to ever be seen as even the slightest bit submissive to anyone, even the powerful Sombra. So, as she continued to take what he gave her, a new thought began to grow in her mind, as well as a mischievous smirk upon her face. Unbeknownst to Sombra, whose eyes were closed as he kept on moving in and out of her, as well as occasionally moving forward to grope at one of her breasts, Chrysalis began to concentrate as well as she could under the circumstances. Eventually, a sickly green glow began to envelope her eyes, a clear sign that she had cast some of her Changeling magic. She knew it was only a matter of time before her partner noticed, and thankfully for her, it seemed to happen sooner rather than later, as Sombra now spoke aloud once more.

"I...I...I'm going to..."

But his eyes snapped open as he began to feel a strange and unfamiliar sensation down below.

"What...what's going on? Why can't I...?"

His unfinished question was giving something of an answer as he heard a low cackle coming from Chrysalis. Casting an angry glance at her, Sombra spoke again.

"What did you do?"

The Queen turned her head around as far as she could, where Sombra could see that she was practically giddy, as also evidenced by her tone as she answered him.

"Oh, nothing much. Just a little something to ensure...well...let's just say your "floodgates" won't be opening up anytime soon."

Sombra's eyes widened with horror as he realised what she had done to him, most likely by way of her magic.

"You...you didn't?! Undo your magic, immediately!"

Resisting the urge to laugh at the tone of his voice as he gave that command, which gave the distinct impression that he was struggling with the feeling of having so much held back, Chrysalis merely tried to look as innocent as possible, though in that way that a young child might do to manipulate a parent.

"I'd be happy to oblige, so long as..."

Her expression changed immediately to one of seduction once more before she continued.

"...you agree to let me on top again."

Sombra cast the most intense death stare anyone could hope to conjure as he spoke in an almost growling tone.

"You...you manipulative, underhanded little witch!"

After a brief pause, Sombra's dark expression changed completely into one of utter joy, or as close as someone like him could get to such an emotion.

"Where have you been all my life?!"

Chrysalis smirked at that, though she let out a soft moan as Sombra began to keep his word, pulling out of her and allowing her to move aside slightly. The King then repositioned himself yet again so that he was now flat on his back, with his member still looking as if it needed tending to. Chuckling a little, Chrysalis straddled him and looked down in the same manner that a predator might look down at a defeated prey. Sombra awaited the feeling of having her magic dissipate from his nether-regions, but from the continued glow of the Queen's eyes, it was clear that this wasn't happening straight away, leading to a look of annoyance on his part. Knowing her partner was now wanted release, the Queen made sure to keep him under her enchantment even longer, much to Sombra's frustration. In truth, she had been building up to a climax herself for some time, and there was no chance in Tartarus that she was going to let him have his before she was satisfied. Chrysalis positioned her hips right above his, heightening the feeling by creating as big of a pause in her movements as her own libido would allow. With vigorous movements, she forced her hips down, forcing him inside her once again. As before, she rhythmically moved herself up and down, bringing herself to the very edge of her own climax, and with one final forward thrust of her hips, she felt his tip press hard against her back wall. With this, she lost concentration, and thus allowed her enchantment to leave him.

That one movement was all it took to send them both over the edge, as Chrysalis threw her head back and let out an almost ear-piercing scream, far louder than the one Sombra was letting out at the same time. The moment his partner had climaxed, Sombra could feel the muscles of her womanhood clench tightly around him even harder than before, though that was swiftly followed by a white-hot feeling of what now flowed out of her and onto his lap. Chrysalis too was experiencing the same, as wave after wave of Sombra's seed pumped into her. After having let out their respective noises, the two finally stopped their movements, and Chrysalis dropped down entirely onto Sombra's body, with the two now panting furiously, trying their best to catch their breath after such an exhausting copulation. It took a while, but Sombra finally had enough strength back to address his partner.

"Well...I can safely say that this was a most satisfying experience."

Still panting somewhat, Chrysalis gave a mischievous smirk as she answered.

"You provided just as much, King Sombra."

The man chuckled a little at that before resting back a bit, staring at the ceiling.

"After a thousand-year abstinence, I look forward to experiencing this far more regularly once our conquest is complete."

Chrysalis lifted herself up, though with her partner still inside her, and looked down on him with a look of faux-disappointment.

"Oh? Looking to replace me already? I’m hurt."

The two shared a dark laugh at that, after which Sombra gave her his full attention.

"It's not as if you'll be alone. After all, you're surrounded by half-naked men most days. You could pick any one of them if you wanted."

Chrysalis raised an eyebrow at that.

"You mean my sons? I think not."

Realising he'd made the mood rather awkward, Sombra looked away slightly, though he was forced to look back at her by a seductive finger placed under his chin.

"Oh, don't be like that. I was merely jesting. I'll have plenty of other males to choose from after Southern Equestria is mine. That former fiancé of mine springs to mind. As for you..."

She glanced down at him and leaned forward, so now their faces were barely an inch from each other.

"...you'll have you pick of every woman in the land if you wanted."

Choosing this moment to emphasis her point, Chrysalis reared up and began to concentrate hard on her magic. Sombra watched her intently, then looked utterly shocked as he saw the Queen engulf herself in a flurry of green flame. Thankfully for him, the magical licks of fire didn't hurt him while she was still on top of him, though he was taken aback when they disappeared, and Chrysalis was now replaced by a woman Sombra knew all too well, though no less nude than Chrysalis had been mere moments before. With flowing, rainbow-coloured hair, a curvaceous and busty body and a warm and almost motherly expression, the form of Princess Celestia looked down at the surprised man beneath her, before speaking in her usual calming tone.

"When the Princesses fall, you could partake of all of them. The beloved ruler, worshipped by all and adore far and wide."

Before Sombra could say anything else, yet more green flames consumed the disguised form of Chrysalis, though when they too disappeared, it was neither she nor Celestia that Sombra saw on top of him, but a younger woman than the latter, with flowing dark-blue hair and paler skin. Her body was still curvy, though not to the same extent as Celestia, and her eyes was the most piercing blue he'd ever seen. Princess Luna.

"Or perhaps the mistress of the night could offer you a more enjoyable evening?"

Yet more flames came and went, and now Sombra saw that Chrysalis had taken on the form of an even younger woman, with bright pink and purple hair. Cadence, the woman who, along with Shining Armour, now ruled his Empire in the North.

"Or maybe the Princess of love might have some skill in the bedroom to entice you further?"

Another bout of flames and Sombra now found himself gazing upon Chrysalis' youngest form yet, with long purple hair and bangs coupled with a somewhat underdeveloped, though no less attractive body. Twilight Sparkle, Equestria's latest addition to the throne.

"Or perhaps an even younger model might be more to your liking?"

She did this several times, using her power to take on the forms of many of the women Sombra knew of. Women that he knew could well be his once their joint venture was over and done with. The elegant beauty known as Rarity. The demure, pink-haired maiden, Fluttershy. The slightly chubby, but still curvaceous Pinkie Pie. The tanned and muscular farm girl, Applejack. And the slim yet toned Rainbow Dash. Eventually, one final series of green flames left Sombra looking upon Chrysalis as she normally was, complete with her usual mischievous expression. Truth be told, he'd enjoyed this little display, as he knew all too well that, once their victory was achieved, all those beauties, and more, would be his to do with as he pleased, as indeed would every other on this continent, at least in the North. As he dwelt on that however, a new and equally enticing prospect came to mind for him. Once he was quite eager to share with his bed partner.

"You know...having all those women at my disposal is all well and good. But after a woman like you...they may seem like something of a downgrade to me."

Chrysalis chuckled at that before raising an eyebrow at him.

"Flattery again, Sombra?"

Smiling, the King replied to her.

"Not at all. Having a woman like you half a world away after our conquest will be a trial, no question. So..."

Before Chrysalis could react, Sombra reached up and wrapped his arms around her, pulled her down so they were pressed against each other yet again. Looking her right in the eye, Sombra continued.

"...how would you feel about sharing the whole kingdom, rather than splitting it between us?"

Needless to say, Chrysalis looked more than a little taken aback by that, though her expression became more sultry with every passing moment.

"My dear Sombra...if I didn't know better, I'd almost mistake that for a proposal."

Sombra's expression mirrored hers as he spoke.

"Well, why propose when we've pretty much already skipped to the consummation?"

The two shared a laugh at that, after which Chrysalis reared herself upwards once more.

"It's a tempting prospect, I'll give you that."

Sombra frowned a little.

"Well, the only downside is having your ten-thousand-plus children call me "daddy" or something. That would get on my nerves pretty quickly."

Chrysalis chuckled a little before considering something, after which she gently placed a hand onto her belly.

"Oh, you never know...might be ten thousand and one after tonight."

Sombra raised an eyebrow at that, prompting Chrysalis to chuckle a little before leaning down again and giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"Regardless...I think I'd be inclined to accept your offer of...a more intimate union."

As the dark King smiled at that, as well as returning the kiss, albeit in a more passionate manner, he let out a sigh before speaking to his partner-in-crime.

"You know, as like-minded conquerors and plotters, we'll probably spend most of our time scheming against each other."

With a sultry look now covering her face, Chrysalis whispered intimately within Sombra's ear.

"My dear Sombra. As long as you can repeat tonight's performance at the end of each day...I wouldn't have it any other way."
