Sombra's Revelation

I sighed as I saw Candance, the Alicorn from before, activate the crystal heart sending a huge wave of energy although out the kingdom as all of the crystal ponies suddenly became full of life again and happily cheering with one another. I could only let out a small chuckle. "So here ends my reign although I don't think I'm going to miss it much along with that damned empty feeling." I slowly put a hand over my chest where my heart was. "Still empty, even with giving up my title as King, as well as the heart." I slowly barred my fangs and glared towards the activated crystal heart as I balled my hand into a first of anger, slightly dragging the spiked fingertips of my gauntlets on my chest plate generating a few sparks on it as well as a small scratching sound, like claws on a chalk board getting the attention of the eight ponies that we're in front of me, making them all turn towards me.

"Is everything alright, Sombra?" Candance asked. "You look rather agitated."

"Yes I am." I lied which made the orange one furrow her brows at me. I was still empty inside and I was agaited that this emptiness won't leave me. "It's a rather deep personal problem." I lowered my hand to the side as Cadance started to gather the Crystal ponies who tried their best to avoid me. And I couldn't blame them.

I sighed as I turned around and slowly walked away from the crowd. "They don't need to be in fear of me anymore. Not after the hell I put them through." From behind I could hear her talking about how I gave up the heart peacefully, making the crystal ponies gasp in shock and looked towards me as I walked away. "They all are still fools." I continues to walk away as I reached for my crown to take it off and looked at it. "A broken pony doesn't deserve a crown for a king." I said as a black flame appeared on my both hands as I slowly crushed/melted my crown to let the molten liquid silver pour onto the ground as I walked forward to get one last look at the Crystal Kingdom because I knew I wouldn't be seeing it anytime soon, I chuckled to myself and I soon found my way to the edge oh my kingdom, looking out towards the blizzard fueled tundraI front of me. "I wonder why the area around the kingdom is nothing more than a blizzard fueled tundra. If this is the case then why wasn't the kingd-" My thoughts we're stopped short as I heard a rather loud ear piercing screech as I saw a lone Windego charging towards the kingdom. "Oh that's why. Windegos made the tundra into their own territory. For fuck sakes." I turned twords the kingdom and remember that I still had my crystal broad sword in it's holster attached to my back. "Prehaps this it what will fill my emptiness, a gruesome battle?" I mentally grinned as I pulled out my crystal broad sword with my left hand and started walking towards the charging Windego as it let out another ear piercing screech as if it was a battle cry.

"Well then if you want to die so badly!" I yelled out as I started charging towards it with a black flame appearing on my whole right arm. "Then I'll give you the bloody end that you so rightfully deserve, maggot!" I laughed maniacally as I jumped towards it with my flame covered arm stretched outward to punch the Windego right in the face.

In which I did, and sent it flying backwards along with sending a small wave of black fire in front of my arm, effectively burning it to quickly send it into a daze which allowed me some time to apply the black fire to my crystal broad sword, I switched to a two handed sword wielding stance, and I let out my own war cry as I charged at it only for me to jump up a few feet into the air and I swong my broad sword downward to strike it, damaging it more as said hit got it out of it's daze. It quickly got up and jumped back away from me and the blizzard around us seemed to get worse as my vision started to become very limited so sight is out of the question I had to rely on hearing to determine where and when the it was attackingI was completely out of my element. I always like seeing my opponents before I struck them down, so this will be a challenge. "Heh. Good, I love challenges." I thought as I heard it quickly circle around me wanting to disorient me, but I won't let it. I quickly swung outward to slash it as it passed by me, giving it a deep burning cut on the side of it's body causing it to screech in pain as the blizzard started to die down a bit. "I had a feeling something like that would happen if I surprised it." I thought as my vision slowly started to come back to me and I quickly went on the offensive and started attacking with fast slashes and stabs with my broad sword as it tried to dodge my attacks falling a few times at for moment letting it get a few more cuts along it's body but to my dismay from the corner of my eyes I could see those nine from before rushing to over to the edge of our battlefield.

I quickly turned and put my hand out to stop them. "No! This is my fight and my fight alone! Stay out of this!" I growled as I turned towards the Windego as it blasted me right in the face with a surge of pure frozen energy, effectively freezing my muzzle shut and blasting me backwards a few feet. "Goddamnit." I mentally groaned as I grabbed my frozen muzzle in pain.

"Sombra no!" Cadance gasped in fear and started to move towards me, only to be stopped by her husband. "Shinning let me go! We have to help him!"

"Not a chance! You heard a him say to stay out of his fight. And there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'm letting you get anywhere near a freaking Windego!" I heard Shinning say as I got runned downed by the Windego that I was fighting.

"Then you go help him you're the knight here!"

"W-What?! Are you crazy?! I'm not fighting that thing!"

"Shinning Armor, as Princess of the Crystal Kingdom and you're wife, I am ordering you to go help Sombra out this instant!"

"W-What-"

"Or do I need to have you arrested for disobeying a princess?!"

I heard him sigh in defeat. "Yes dear." Which aggravated me.

I went to say something but remembered that my muzzle was frozen shut. "Dammnit." I aimed a finger at Shining Armor's horn to shoot a spell at it to nullify any magic he may cast for a good hour or two, which knocked him back a bit making them all look at him with shock, fear, and worry, and I summoned up a huge clear crystal barrier around mine and the Windego's battlefield. Trapping me with it and it with me. I hated when ponies don't follow my command, but that won't matter any more since I'm not king any more. I looked back at the Windego which was obliviously confused at the ring of crystals that surrounded us which I used to my advantage and quickly rushed forward at it to start up a huge diagonal swing upwards, which successfully connected, knocking it up into the air with a screech of pain in which I combined said swing with a jumping slash downward slamming it down to the ground with a force that seemed to make the ground shake a bit. It was getting weak very fast which was good, but that seemed to make it pissed off as it started to make the blizzard stronger, which I retaliated by slamming my right arm down into the ground making a few huge pillars of black fire around me, melting the ice off of my muzzle and burning the Windego harshly as it's head and upper half of it's body was badly burned making it screech loudly in pain.

"Not this time maggot!" I yelled as I started to cast my final spell to end this fight.

To the ponies outside would soon see my horn start to glow black and then, all light within the barrier die, making it look like a complete void. This was my element, pure darkness, pure raw black magic energy. My final strikes were about to be dealt. If any war that I personally fought in we're documented, they all would know this was my final attack, and the Windego's fate was sealed. I sucked in a good proportion of the black magic, increasing the power of the black flames on my sword. I quickly rushed the Windego with a body slam that had more power than it should, knocking it down instantly. I quickly jumped high up into the air as the flames on my broadsword increased in length and I quickly slashed downwards slicing it in half by it's midsection, and as soon as I landed, I quickly slashed forward, slicing it in half again, this time directly in the middle. And finally, I slammed my black fire infused arm again into the ground, and with a few seconds three things happened. One: Between zero to three seconds, a huge earthquake occurred, two: between four to six seconds, the ground cracked heavily under me and the already dead Windego, and three: between seven and nine seconds, a huge eruption of black crystal spikes impaled the corpse multiple times and shot upwards, ripping the Windego into chunks. And then, color returned to the battlefield and my crystal barrier shattering, letting the nine see the slaughtered Windego and me collapsing down to the ground from magic over use. And I felt my concision fade as I heard the nine of them, quickly call out my name as they rushed towards me.

And then, nothing.
