"Mason, put it back"

"Its a black crystal, do you have any idea how rare this is?"

"...mason, put it back"

"I'm not budging on this. besides, it so small no one would notice."

"young man, put that back right now" my tone sharpening.

"What are you, my mother?!" And so the banter continues, again.

"In this case, I am" he went quiet at this. "just, put it back" he grumbled some response at me. "So," I continued, "this the place I think it is?"

"...Crystal Empire, home of the obviously sparse crystals, mom." maybe I went too far... we need to settle this, sooner or later; I think sooner would be best.

I put my hand on his shoulder and said "well, your the brony here, what should we do?"

"So now you want me to lead, typical" he replied venomously. I need to diffuse this situation, NOW.

"Look, how about we head to the castle, we could at least get some help from the local ruler'

He replied quickly, "the doors are too small" crap, I didn't think this through. "The balcony would be a better option, we might be able to go through if we crouch" huh, at least he's calmer now. I suggested he climb on my shoulders, but he rejected the idea in favor of trying to teleport again.

"you think with your teleportation skills, you might land on sombra if he's here.?"

"... hope so, though it could be anyone." he vanished in the swirling purple vortex again, before I saw the same on the balcony and him step out.

"How is it?" I called. after a few seconds, I got worried and started to climb up. I was just grabbing the ledge when I realized "how am I climbing this? I can't climb." I quickly pull myself onto the balcony before anything happens. Only to see mason get flung across the room, with a large black crystal spike through his forearm.

"MASON!" I turn my head towards the maniacally smirking gray armored unicorn. In a protective rage, I charged at him, yelling my lungs out. He looked surprised for a moment before sending out a pulse of something towards my legs. and I fell on my face. AGAIN! for some reason, fate doesn't want me to fall on my ass.

"Another! Insolent creature! I am King Sombra! King of the Crystal Empire! You will submit to my rule!" Sombra said, barely within arms reach. I reached around to slap him before I heard a roar. Shit, he broke. I rolled far out of the way and watched, what... was no longer mason.

"YOU. FUCKING. WHELP! HAVE YOU NO IDEA WHO I AM! I AM MOLAG BAL, DAEDRIC PRINCE OF DOMINATION! AND YOU WILL BEND TO MY WILL! I swore I could hear thunder. Mas- no, molag bal charged foreword, mace in hand and slammed down on the helpless king. Sombra put up a shield, but hit after hit, strike after strike, he wouldn't last long. Eventually, the shield smashed, and the mace turned him into paste. then... laughter, I subconsciously turned on my suit. this isn't my friend, this is a creature that I need to defend myself against. You mortals and your frail, Limp, PATHERTIC BODIES! AGAIN! He then, in another vortex of purple, revived Sombra. only to smash him again, only this time; a purplish black smoke was sucked out of his body and sucked into the crystal embedded in his arm.

I advanced slowly towards him, my weapon draw, but not pointing at him, and said softly "Mason, are you in there?" He laughed again. "Who am I talking to right now?" All the remaining the room have either fainted or are cowering in the corners. He turned his face towards me and replied in the deeper of the two tones,

"I am Molag Bal" he began Daedric Prince of Domination, King of Rape, Father of all Vampires, Harvesters of souls, and Lord of Brutality! And who might you be, mortal? Speak!"

"I am Kenneth, Lord of my people and I am no mortal!" I say loudly with a deadpan voice. He was quiet for a while. "I want to talk to mason"

"HA!, he was weak. The weak deserve to be crushed by the strong!"

"He was strong in his own way. You will let me talk to him"

"YOU PRESUME TO COMMAND A DAEDRA!?"

" I am not presuming" I pointed my weapons at him, "I am"

" ...You were right, he has a strength of his own." wow, I was just ignored. my pride... "I will release him, but you. I will remember you and I will not take this transgression slide. You will bend your knee and pledge your soul to me. I swear this" I just shot next to him. I would have said something, if he didn't fall over first. oh, come on! I was going to say my soul belongs to me and me alone, but god damnit mason! my moment of heroism is dead!

"Kenny..."he muttered, still on the ground, "come... closer" I did. and he said, to my continued agony,

"I guess you could say we had a... Smashing time"
