A Rainbow of Hope

Manehatton was completely destroyed, buildings were in pieces, fires and smoke could be seen all around, yet King Sombra did not care, nor would he ever with his evil filled heart. He had an evil grin upon his face as he watched the great metropolis burning, as he stood on a cliff just outside the city limits.

"NO I WILL NEVER SERVE YOU, GET YOUR FILTHY DIRTY HOOVES OFF ME YOU JERKS!" A mare dressed in a dark and damp, gray outfit was trying to kick and scream at the guards that were dragging her to Sombra. She was a white coated pony with 3 diamonds, that looked a dull blue compared to the usual, and a purple mane and tail, that was roughed up and frizzed.

"Well, heheheh, who do we have here?" Sombra, leaned up to her face. The mare, could feel his cold eyes of fear and death, peering into her soul. She was terrified, and could hardly breathe.

"She is the leader of the industrial ponies here in Manehatton, or what used to be it!" The two guards teased and cackled with evil laughter  at the pony standing in front of them.

"Screw you!" She kicked one of them square in the mouth, and a few teeth fell out and his mouth started to fill with blood and spew out of it.

The second guard, took his spear, and stabbed her in the left leg. With a shriek of pain and blood pouring down, she fell face first and began crying as she thumped into the ground. Sombra took his spear with his magic, threw it to the side and broke it in half. The guard took this as a warning, grabbed his companion and retreated away from him in a hurry.

"Well, well, well... Rarity I'm so glad we ran into each other...The leader of Manehatton." Sombra began to circle around her.

"Sombra, you will never defeat the love and fire of light that burns strong in the hearts of these ponies, you can demand all the slavery from them, but they will never be chivalrous to join you in your dark conquest." Rarity stated.

"Heh, come now Rarity, you must observe all the things that I control and will... and those who oppose will surely die a most painful death too."

Rarity stood up and shouted at him, "YOU WILL LOSE THIS BATTLE! CELE..." Sombra cut her off with a furious temper in his voice.

"CELESTIA CAN DO ALL SHE WANTS TO STOP ME! SHE WILL NOT SUCCEED IN KILLING ME EITHER!"

They both stood in silence and glared at each other, the smell of fire and warm winds from the destroyed city, blowing around them.

"So again, Rarity, I ask you, what can you do?" Sombra said waving his hoof towards her friends and workers.

At this point all the ponies that were being cuffed and shackled, crying in pain, stared to look up at their fearless leader. The guards kept whipping them telling them to stay in line and march, but they didn't move, not even in the constant stinging pain.

"My ponies! This will not last, remain and sta....uhhccckk!" She stopped in a blazing fire of pain. Sombra had taken his sword and stabbed her right in the chest where her heart was, as blood drenched her white belly, tears rolling down her face, and as she was fading away, she saw a glimpse of a rainbow flying over head... I am on my way home..... her eyes shut completely, and Sombra pulled his sword from her and she fell limp to the ground, blood pooling around her motionless body.

"NOW MARCH!!!!!!" Sombra shouted out to the ponies, stunned and paralyzed from what they just saw happen.

"Celestia... I'm coming for you!" Sombra laughed darkly as he walked away from the crumbling city, and the pony's corpse that lay there in the wake of the fire.
