As they enter the meeting area they sit down, all leaders from from places like Saddle Arabia, Yakyakistan. King Taronos Hissoda of Saddle Arabia, Chieftain Gryphord Mustang of Hippogriff tribes, and King Tibakin Shinos of Yakyakistan. They all sat around the crystal line table, as King Sombra walked in and sat down,
"King Taronos Hissoda would you care for a drink, I know you like a good wine,"
"Yes I would mind a drink, but King Sombra why is it that you have call us here for can't you see my kingdom is in a crisis, we were just attack," said King Taronos Hissoda of Saddle Arabia, after he had took drink of the wine, King Sombra always had wine ready for King Taronos Hissoda do to the fact they both enjoyed the same kind.
"You horses not be the only ones under crisis, we Yaks are under our own crisis, with Assassins gone, we also been attack," said King Tibakin Shinos of Yakyakistan,
"Enough you two, we have been attack as well, so we need all need help, these Zebras need to stop," said Chieftain Gryphord Mustang of Hippogriff tribes,
"That is why I have called you all here for, you see the Zebras are working for me," King Sombra stated,
Instantly the room went silent as all were in shock in what King Sombra had just said,
"Did you not here me, I am the one who has been attacking your outposts,"
"Why King Sombra, Why would dare violate the treaties you have with us," said King Taronos Hissoda,
"I was testing your defenses,"
"What," they all said in unison
"I also did it to get all you in the same place,"
"So you could sign your Armies over to me,"
"We will never willingly do such a thing," said Chieftain Gryphord Mustang as he got up drawled his blade, and aiming it at the King Sombra,
"Who said anything willingly"
Just then a Shadows rose up and slice off Chieftain Gryphord Mustang's Arm,
"Ahh!!!!" Chieftain Gryphord Mustang screamed in agony,
Just then King Tibakin Shinos charged at King Sombra, with his battle ax, only to be impaled by a gem spire that King Sombra summoned,
"You.... won't......win......king......horse......got.....away," stated King Tibakin Shinos as he slowly died,
Just then King Sombra notice that King Taronos Hissoda was gone,
"Well he won't get far,"
"What!" stated Chieftain Gryphord Mustang
"I laced his drink with a delayed explosive spell, now will you be signing Chieftain Gryphord Mustang or shall I cut off your other arm,"

King Sombra had what need now an Army, and now led an invasion on Canterlot. Battle was fierce loses on both sides. King Sombra was always a fierce leader in the battle field, but this was different he seem more brutal and determined, as he conquer the entire city in under an hour. Princess Luna did her best to fight off the hippogriffs, but she was unable to stop them from kidnapping Princess Celestia, and taking her to the Crystal Empire. It was a hard battle even though the Princesses got help from their cousin Golden William, who unfortunately was killed by King Sombra near the end of the battle.

King Sombra had Princess Celestia placed in his Dungeon, as he wait for Grogar's return. Meanwhile Princess Luna had secretly break into the Crystal Castle, to rescue Princess Celestia, but with no back up. Luckily she knew the Castle inside and out. Luna snick pass the Zombie Zebras, to find Celestia. But as she got to the cell the Celestia was in, and still unconscious. But as she broke the cell down and grab her sister. She was confronted by King Sombra. Once Celestia was out, Luna face off against Sombra. Their battle went on long as they fought through every area in the Castle till they finally reach the Tower of Crystal Heart.
As they fought, Sombra’s scythe and Luna’s blades, kept missing lethal area. Sure Princess Luna wanted to stop her beloved husband reign of terror but she did not want kill him, and nor did King Sombra want kill her. They still loved each other even though they were now enemies. Princess Luna was forced to fight her beloved, to save the Crystal Empire, and her sister Princess Celestia. Meanwhile King Sombra was force to fight for Grogar or have Grogar take the lives of all the Children.
“There has to be another way Rex,”
“There isn’t one”
“But we loved each other, what about the life we had together, the Marriage, the Children, the Grandchildren, and what about the Crystal Empire, does none it matter to anymore,”
“Luna I will always love you, but I have to fight,”
“NO!!” Luna said as she entrapped him in her blades.
“What are you doing Luna,” Sombra said as Luna’s blades began to glow with magic,
“This spell is the unfinished Alicorn ascension spell that Starswirl made long ago, do you not remember it,”
“Yes I was there when he wrote it,”
“Well I plan to use it to turn you into an Alicorn, like me”
“What, but Celestia couldn’t even get it to work, what make you think you can,”
“Love, that’s what, why do you think that I chose to fight you here, in the Tower of the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Heart is the Element of Love, and I plan to use it power to super charge the spell, and use it to undo the Curse, Grogar has over you,”
“Why Luna,”
“Because I will always love you, Rex,”
“Luna I….I…..I……I……..” Sombra said as his head began to fall,
“Rex!!” Luna shouted in fear,
“Foolish Alicorn,” another voice started to spoke from Sombra’s muzzle
“Rex?”
Just then the blades that entrapped Sombra were blasted across the room. The blast wave knocking Luna across the room, landing her back to the wall.
“Dark Alicorns are perfect, and flawless, I could not dare to consider us weak as an Alicorn,” the voice stated as Sombra pick a blade and charge at Luna.
“Stop this Rex this isn’t you,” Luna said as one of blade that was holding Sombra were landing beside her,
“But this is me Luna, it is always been me,”
“No, Rex you have to fight him, you can’t let Grogar win,”
“I don’t think I can hear you Luna, maybe if you scream,” voice stated as Sombra ran with blade aimed ready to kill. Luna just closed her eyes ready to except her death.
Next thing Luna saw was the Dreamscape, and Rex. They were both floating in the Dreamscape, “This is what I wanted to show you, but I just never found the time,” Rex said
“You learned to access the Dreamscape,”
“All for you…Luna,”
“Oh Rex,” Luna said as they floated toward each other, wrapping their hooves around each other, pulling each other in for a kiss.
“Luna…we.....understood.……and…..….loved.….……each……..….other…..………didn’t…..we?” Rex said as his voice began to slow,
“Of course we did,” Luna replied,
“Then………why…………..did…………….you……………..kill………………..me?”
Luna was the snapped out of the Dreamscape, by blood the hit her face, as she open her eyes in horror when she saw that she was holding the blade that was now impale into Sombra’s chest. Luna had indeed stop Sombra’s attack by killing him, she didn’t even remember grabbing the blade.
“WHAT HAVE I DONE, REX!!!!!!!!!!”
“How could you do this Luna,” Sombra stated as he back away with the blade still impaled in his chest.
Just the the the entire Crystal Empire began to shake, as King Sombra let out as insidious laugh,
"What have you done Rex,"
"Just little insurance policy in case you actually did kill me, you see the entire empire will soon vanish, but don't worry about your sister and yourself, you two shall be fine, but rest of the citizens shall vanish,"
"No stop this Rex now, you can't do this, Rex,"
"REX IS DEAD, I AM KING SOMBRA!!!!" King Sombra Shouted as he and the entire empire vanished.
