(3rd POV)

With the Crystal Heart in pieces, all the ponies except Sombra gasped in horror, then turned their hatred on him and the Princesses combined their magic and shot an energy beam at the Shadow King. As if Sombra was hit the Princesses thought they might have wounded him. Then Luna spoke.

"That was easy."

"Too easy." Celestia says with suspicion and she was right.

Sombra propelled himself on a giant black crystal stalk at Luna and gave Celestia and evil glare. He then swings his scythe at Luna, but was blocked long enough for Celestia to use her magic to destroy the large stalk. But as smart ans he is evil, Sombra jumped before the stalk exploded blocked Celestias spear attack. Using gravity, he dive-bombed into Luna sent them to the floor where there blades clashed. With Celestia on one side and Luna on another, they charged at Sombra at fast speeds. Sombra then used his dark magic to conjure up 2 crystal stalks at the Princesses and pushed them into the walls. Then Twilight powered up the Elements and a giant rainbow cannon streaked toward Sombra as he used his scythe to shield against the powerful beam. And for the first time, The Elements failed as Sombra still held strong, but he didnt know Celestia and Luna escaped during the attack.

Celestia and Luna charged with an attack, But Sombra evaded and caused the alicorns to overshoot and miss. Luna quickly moved in and swung her sword at Sombra, who was blocking her attacks. Sombra the used his dark magic to make a black crystal form and moved quickly at Luna. The Princess of the night sliced her sword through it and charged at Sombra once more. Celestia flew up and shot straight towards him at a fast speed. Sombra jumped up and to meet Celestia and swung his sword at her, which was blocked by the sun Princess and forced back to the ground.

Once Sombra landed, he looked for Luna, who was behind him and stabbed a sword in his back. The ponies gasped, especially Minuette who thought that hurt Torian and gave him a severely painful injury.

"It`s over Sombra, YIELD!" Luna ordered.

Sombra laughed and as Luna pulled her sword out.

"Soo much hatred, I can taste your wrath's and they are delicious." Sombra laughed again as he used his magic to heal himself.

"Silence." Celestia and Luna shouted together and charged at the king.

Sombra engulfed in his shadow form and charged at Princesses, Then as the Princesses leaped through his shadow, Their eyes went green and their pupils became red as purple mist seeped from their eyes which meant, Sombra casted a spell on them to show their worst nightmares.

The ponies were horrified and then Minuette said. "Light them up girls."

Sombra then changed back into Torian`s physical form and was about to slay the Princesses until a bright light shone behind him. Quickly turning around and saw that they were using the Elements of Harmony, Then terror was shone on his face.

"No... no... no.. Stop!" Sombra shouted, but it was too late.

A giant rainbow shot at Sombra and the Elements began to take effect.

"Noooooooooo!" Sombra screamed. Then a shadow began to leave Torians body and separated from him. Then the environment changed as the castle was back to its former self, The crystal ponies were freed, the sun shined once more.

Torian was back into his regular attire before Sombra took control of him, but was unconscious, as Sombra, who was battered created a portal. he turned around and spoke.

"You ponies haven`t seen the last of me, I shall return." With that Sombra went through the portal, which soon disappears as Twilight went to the Crystal Dungeons to free her family members, Minuette with Torian and the others with the Princesses.


(Torian`s POV)

I slowly wake up to see a beautiful angelic face come into my almost adjust vision and that face was Minuette who seemed to look sad and worried and she soon squealed with joy as I brushed my hand through her mane.

"Your back Your back Your back, I missed you so much and I was so scared that you were hurt!" Minuette squealed as she hugged me tightly.

"Um, where have I been, and what is this place?" I asked confused. This gave Minuette a puzzling face.

"You mean you don`t remember anything?"

"All I remember was picking up a red claw and then I blacked out." I explained but it seems Minuette didn`t want to go through this so I just went along with it.

Then I saw Twilight with a pink alicorn and a white unicorn stallion and they looked as if they were pushed into a coal mine. But then the white stallion gave me angry eyes that said "I`m going to kill you." and his horn charged up with magic. I readied myself for an impact which never came, I see Twilight trying to calm him down.

Then the three walked up to me and spoke.

"I`m Princess Cadence and this is my husband, Shining Armor." the pink alicorn introduced which I shook her hoof she held out.

"Torian Scotterian, pleasure." I replied as I looked at the stallion. "I`m sorry for everything I caused, but whatever happened to me is gone and hopefully we can become friends." I said with sincere as I held my hand out toward Shining Armor. He hesitated for a moment before shaking my hand.

"Sorry for how I acted, I just thought you were still possessed." Shining said apologetically.

"It`s alright." I said.

Then Celestia and Luna came up to me.

"Are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"I`m fine but, what happened to me?" I asked as everypony looked uneasy.

"King Sombra, a unicorn as black as night took over this Empire a thousand years ago. He was defeated by me and my sister but he returned and claimed your body to his possession to try and take back the Empire." Luna explained as I found it to be quite hard to believe.

"I know you have all been through alot and I would like to tell you more, but I recommend you all head back home and take it easy for a while." Celestia said with a warm smile and for the day Ive had, Ill need more than a break.

"As you wish Princess." I said as we all left the throne room and toward the train station.

Outside the castle, we were met by a crowd of crystallized ponies cheering as if the war had ended. When we had pushed through the crowd I then saw Minuette looking a little blue (No pun intended). I then asked.

"You alright Minuette?"

"I...I...um." I saw she was having trouble with her words so I knelled down and gave her a quick peck on her cheek before saying.

"Thank you for rescuing me." I saw her blush madly as we both and the Mane 6 head home to Ponyville.
