Sombra felt a spark and his body reformed.

"How?" He thought, "I didn't try to reform and I shouldn't have been able to anyway, I'm still too weak..."

He collapsed on the floor and looked up. He was surrounded by the four princesses. Wait, four? The purple unicorn became a princess while he was away he supposed.

The princess of the sun spoke, "Sombra, we have decided to reform you and let you be free if you use your power for good instead of evil. What do you say?"

A deep laughter filled the room. It continued as Sombra hit his hoof on the floor while the four alicorns exchanged confused glances. But as his laughter died it was his turn to look confused.

"Were you not joking?" He questioned the white princess.

"I am completely serious, Sombra."

"Well, your mistake for reviving me." he snarled and shot a a blood red beam of magic at Celestia, effectively ripping a single feather off her wing.

He jumped up, "What the buck? That was supposed to make your wing explode! Not pluck a feather!" Then he realized the lack of a certain weight on his body as he got up and looked himself over, "AND WHERE IN TARTAROUS IS MY ARMOR?" He jumped back, covering his blank flank with his tail.

"You won't need it in Ponyville." Twilight answered.

"But then everypony will see my flaaaaaaaank!" He looked and sounded exactly like a colt whose mother wouldn't let him have another cookie.

Luna leaned towards Twilight and whispered, "We will let you take it from here..."

Twilight sighed, annoyed, "Let's just get this over with..."

Twilight stepped outside, all her friends greeting her with a group hug.

"So, what did she need us for?" Rainbow Dash pulled back.

Twilight sighed, "Well you see, we've been tasked with reforming Som--" She was interrupted by loud, heavy hoof steps.

A dark shape walked towards the group of mares, sticking out among the white marble stairs. He walked with confidence, never faltering. Despite not having his armor, or red cape, there was an air or regality around the stallion, the way he walked displayed his confidence, and he had the build of a true king which demanded respect, with a muscular form and strength to rival Bulk Biceps' own, though more sleek. His mane and tail, once ever moving, now lay still. Clumps and strands of fur fallen over his face.

"Hello, ladies." A smooth rumbling voice dripped from his mouth as he finally reached them.

All their jaws dropped to the ground.

"Is-- is that..." Applejack started.

"Sombra." Twilight finished for her as the rest of the elements got in defensive positions, except for Fluttershy who slinked behind RD.

Sombra tsked, "Not a very warm welcome for the king."

"He has no magic besides a simple levitation spell, as long as we stay on guard we'll be fine."

"So where'll he be sleepin'?" Applejack circled the king curiously now that she knew he was harmless.

"At the castle."

"Well ah' could use some help at the farm, apple buckin' season is right around the corner. So how 'bout we see if he's willin' to work hard?"

Sombra growled, "Farm? Like a peasant? No."

"You're on our terf now, Sombra. You're going to have to abide by our rules and live like a normal pony." Twilight stated bluntly.

"Besides, who knew the tyrannical dictator of the Crystal empire would be a blank flank?" Applejack teased.

Sombra grumbled and blocked his markless haunch with his tail, "Let's just go..."

As they approached the station Twilight went over the list of things expected from Sombra, "You are expected to become a fully functioning member of modern equestrian society," she paused, "and of course, make some friends!"

She turned to him only to find he had run up to another pony.

"Hello!" He said in a faked enthusiastic voice, with a large smile on his face, "I'm Happy Rainbow Kawaii-kun the second! What's your name?" He batted his eyes which suddenly had long eyelashes while the pony slowly backed away then trotted in the other direction.

He then brushed past Twilight, back to normal, "There I tried." He boarded the train and Twilight followed to join him and her friends, "Can I go back to being ninety percent dead now?"

Sombra was the first to run off the 'metal monster' as he called it, and preceded to puke in the first bush he saw.

"WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!?" he shouted at the mares exiting the train.

Pinkie Pie popped out of the small bush and stuck her face in Sombra's. "Of course not! We're trying to help you now, silly!" She ruffled his mane and seemingly teleported back to her friend's sides.

"Okay then, lead the way, Princess Twilight Sparkle." The way he said, no, spit, her title out of his mouth was mocking and full of malice.

Twilight turned to her friends, "I'll take it from here, it's been a long day. Come, Sombra." She turned and walked towards her castle.

They were about half way to the castle when Sombra passed by the flower shop and saw Rose closing it up for the day. He smirked and broke away from Twilight's lead then walked over to the mare.

"Hello there." He said in a smooth, deep, almost gentlecolt-like, voice and lightly bumped into the flower pony.

She turned to him, "Oh, uh, hi! I'm Rose! What can I do for you?" She was a little uneasy.

"So, Rose is it? A beautiful name indeed. Roses were always my favorite flower. And I think I know what you can do for me." He purred as he stepped closer to the mare who shrank back with every step the intimidating stallion took towards her.

Before Rose could react further, however, a purple aura wrapped around Sombra and in a literal flash he was far from the flowers, face to face with an angry alicorn.

"WHAT THE HECK, SOMBRA!?" Twilight yelled.

"What? I was just having fun." He answered nonchalantly.

"That is not what should be fun! That is harassment!"

Sombra looked away out of annoyance, "Okay, mom."

She rolled her eyes, "Come on, and no more distractions."

As they grew closer to the structure Sombra could see it was a magnificent structure of crystal. They reached the doors and went inside. He followed twilight to a furnished room and stepped inside. He was impressed with the architecture, which was saying something considering he had been born, raised, and had ruled the Crystal Empire.

"This is where you will be sleeping, and I suggest getting some rest, you have a long day ahead of you at Sweet Apple Acres." As she walked out she turned back to him, "Don't even think about running either. There will be a spell on the room which will prevent you from leaving and will alert me if you try." With that, she cast said spell and left, shutting the door behind her.

Sombra didn't need to be told twice. He was still nauseous from the train ride and tired from reforming. Sombra sauntered over to the bed and immediately fell asleep as soon as he lied down.
