A Darken Crystal
chapter 5: Waiting
Previous ChapterIt has been two weeks since Kira had taken over the world of Equestria. Every pony had a job in the Crystal Empire. Apple Jack and Big Mack worked at the crystal farms harvesting crops. Apple Bloom would ship the harvested crops from the farm to the crystal market. Pinkie Pie stayed in the bakery sobbing away her sorrows in cupcakes. Rarity stayed in the bakery with Pinkie Pie to comfort her. Sweetie Belle played the grand piano every day from 10 to 11:00 A.M. and 5 to 6:00 P.M. Celestia never left her room. Cadence and Shinning Armor wondered around the castle making sure to avoiding Kira at all times. Twilight and Spike stayed in the royal library trying to find a spell that could defeat Kira. Discord and Scootiloo were nowhere to be seen.
"Twilight. Walk with me." Kira said sticking her head into the library. Every Monday and Friday, Twilight, Spike and Kira would go for a walk around the Crystal Empire at noon. Kira, Twilight and Spike passed by the bakery to give one wave to Pinkie and Rarity and then moved on to say one hello to each friend. The crystal ponies were still around, but they never left their homes in fear. The only time left their homes was for food.
"What are your plans for the crystal ponies?" Twilight asked.
"Well nothing yet, but their time will come at some point." Kira, Twilight and Spike came back in the castle and proceeded with their daily routeing. Twilight and Spike went back to the library. Kira went off to a secret place that no pony knows where.

Kira was staring out the window looking out on the Crystal Empire and beyond. Twilight walked up to Kira.
"What are your plans for Equestria?" Twilight asked hesitantly.
"Nothing now. Just waiting." Kira answered not looking away from the window.
"Waiting for what?"
"Sombra."
"But Sombra is dead."
"Not dead. Wounded fatally and recovering." Kira still stared out the window.
"What about Chrysalis or Tirek?" Twilight added.
"Dead. Both of them. Tirek was simple. Chrysalis was rather time consuming. I find that even though it does seem a bit cheesy, I do see the advantage of the ability to feed on love. Especially in my line of work where love is what keeps most in my land from killing themselves."
"Your land?!"
"A land of fear, death and drugs. Yes."
"Drugs?" Twilight was completely baffled.
"Of no importance nor need here." Kira still stared out the window.
"Why do you want Sombra?" Twilight said after a brief moment.
"Dark magic." Kira turned her head towards Twilight. "But until then, not much." Kira said swiftly turning her body around and walking out of the room.
Kira entered the bakery where Pinkie Pie just pulled out a fresh batch of cupcakes.
"Pinkie! I need a party!" Pinkie turned her head towards Kira.
"You MONSTER!" Pinkie yelled throwing the cupcakes at Kira. "YOU KILLED DASHIE!"
"I prefer Monstrosity thank you very much!" Kira said catching the tray. "Now, as I said. I need a party in the throne room!"
"Why?! AP! You know what, it doesn't matter 'cause I'm not doing it!" Pinkie sat down angrily crossing her hooves.
"Well depends." Kira said intriguingly.
"What do you meant "Depends"?" Pinkie raised an eyebrow.
"Well you are of no use to me really, so how would you rather die? In here, alone or with your friends, partying? Your choice." Kira held up her claw ready to strike.
"ONE UPPER DOOPER FUN PARTY COMIN' RIGHT UP!!!!" Pinkie dashed to the other room.
