Chapter I: New World, Old Enemies

T w o W e e k s L a t e r

"Gaah. How much further!?"

"Seriously? You just asked that half an hour ago! We'll get there when we get there."

"Why can't we do this after winter is over!? It's so fucking cold!"

"Because the next auction is coming up in a few more days and we don't want to be late. Or do you want the lieutenant to have your ass mounted on the wall?"

"F-Fuck the lieutenant! He ain't as tough as he says he is... I could take him!!"

"Pft, Sure~. Say that with him standing face to face. Then we'll talk!"

On and on, the two Caribou bickered with each other. If one boring topic was finished, they'd find an even dumber one to talk about before going straight to the first again. The weather wasn't making this any better. Though really, who was she to talk? She was sitting right behind them in the carriage while the other mares were forced to walk in the snow.

Along with nine others, a blue mare was one of the 'lucky' groups of mares picked to go into another town to be auctioned off to a stallion or caribou to be their new cock warmer. Outside form her, the rest of them where chained to the back of the carriage while one of the war beasts were hooked up to pull it. They only set out to the nearest village just 8 hours ago. The younger, fat caribou second to the one in charge was always complaining about something. Wither it be not being able to fuck anything or just life in Equestria in general.

It really was infuriating how the caribou were never satisfied with anything. What more could they want? They invaded and somehow successfully took control of the country and enslaved anyone with a pair of tits and a pussy to be objects to their carnal desires. And they still have to gull to call their lives 'hard' or 'unbearable'. The worse thing about this whole Fall was that they were the reason life was unbearable.

All the caribou's ever did was boss around, hurt mares that showed even a sliver of disobedience and rape them. Stallions were falling on that line of thinking as well; thanks to the influence King Dainn had on them. It disgusted her. It disgusted her more that there was nothing she could do to stop it. Their only hope of any chance to fight back was in the resistance camps. But even then, many mares and few stallions had already given up.

Not her though. She was far too stubborn to just lay there and take these monster's dicks anymore.

They would have to kill her first before she gave in to become a brainwashed cock drunk.

The blue mare turned her head to look at the line of mare's behind them; being yanked on the chain to keep up. Nine mares. Three of them black collars, five of them red collars. They were whimpering; exhausted from the long walk and probably freezing to death. Not a surprise considering the caribou didn't allow them any clothing as they didn't want robes or coats covering up their bosoms and forcefully erected nipples.

The fucking idiots. All they were so concerned with was getting their dicks sucked or a cunt to dump their load into. They didn't even realize how seriously fucked everyone's lives were; including their own! If this destruction and chaos kept up, Equestria won't be long from become a baron wasteland of decay and misery.

"So... You heard the stories right?" the fat caribou said. She was so lost in her own mind, the sound of her captures had turned into background noise.

"About what?" the solder grunted, uninterested.

"That.. creature in these woods?"

"What about it?"

"You think those reports and sightings are true? About how all the mysterious disappearances of caribou and mares are being caused by something in the forest?"

"Oh, what are you, a cunt?" he said, giving the young solider a narrowed gaze. "They're just reports. We don't even know if there is anything causing those disappearances. Besides which, even if there was, what's to stop us from dealing with it? No beast or entity is strong enough to handle caribou; especially our great and noble leader Dainn."

"R-Right, of course. Dainn is only the greatest king. He'd smite any creature or monster that dare stand in his way."

"Exactly! So quit your stupid bitchin' about this 'forest monster'. The only thing these bitches need to fear is us. Just remember what King Dainn said.."

And there they go; praising and worshiping the filthy hooves of their bullshit king. If there was ever a contest to see who would suck King Dainn's dick the most, these two could give most mares a run for their money.

"But you got to admit, Barrett. These recent reports of caribou's vanishing left and right is pretty disturbing. I mean, who knows. It might be lurking in these woods right now.."

"Pffft!" the one known as Barrett snorted. "If you're so scared about getting killed by some fairy tale or rumor, you don't deserve to be a solider. But if it were me... if there was anything to come out of the night and pounce me?" he said this, looking around the trees as if looking for whatever might be watching them. "I'd make it regret the day it crossed my path. I am a noble warrior of King Dainn and I fuck weak cunts; not get fucked myself! You catch my drift?"

The rounder caribou nodded meekly before finally shutting up and partaking in something she'd never thought she'd hear again. Silence. If she were to be honest, from the sounds of the reports, the possibility of something lurking in the woods were pretty high. And she was far too proud to admit that the possibility of meeting this thing did frighten her more then being abused by the caribou. By now, she was used to this horrible life. Anything that sounded worse was unimaginable.

"W-Wait!" Cried Brand as he took the lease from his superior officer; the caribou yanking the handle leash that caused the war beast to bellow and come to a halt. Barrett turned to his partner in concern and alert.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked, glaring at him. "Why are we stopping?"

"I can't take it anymore! I'm freezing my nuts off. I need a warm cunt!"

Barrett smacked his face into his palm; letting out a muffled groan."Oh, for fuck sake, Brand! Can't you keep it in your pants for just one night? I told you we'd fuck all the useless cunts we want once we delivered the hose in the back. We don't want to be behind schedule or else the lieutenant will light our asses on fire!"

"C'mon, Barrett. What's the harm in fucking any one of these whores gonna do? They're probably loose as shit; No ones gonna be able to tell the difference. Besides, you wouldn't let me just pound the shit out of this bitch here!" he spat out, pointing to the hooded blue mare who gave a low growl.

"I told you why!" he shouted back; frustrated. "This one might have a disease thanks to some dumb fuck forgetting to wash his cock! So until we have her looked at by a doctor, she's off limits. Unless you want your dick to grow blisters and shit that'll melt it right off."

As they mentioned her possible condition, she looked down at the chastity belt wrapped around her waist; protecting her normally exposed marehood. Any mare would feel lucky to have one of these on their crotch. But really, it was an expiration date; letting any males know that she was likely to be tossed away. If you couldn't provide for your master's cock, you didn't deserve a home and should be left to die to whatever disease you caught from the filthy beasts that soiled you. As if life wasn't already unfair.

"It'll be a quickie, I promise!" pleaded the fat caribou like his life depended on getting this one fuck out of his system. "Just give me five minutes and I won't complain about it no more."

It was highly unlikely giving the fact that the fat slob was always pestering his commanding officer for one round every five minutes. Unfortunately, the younger soldier was warring on his partners nerves before he gave in with a sigh; rubbing his temple.

"Alright, fine! Go... Five Minutes and I'm leaving you behind if you don't wrap up.."

"O-Oh, thank you!" the caribou said with glee before jumping out of the carriage to select the 'lucky' mare to be his cock sock. The soldier would lean back and mutter, "Fucking Newbies, I swear to Dainn..."

Brand chose the one furthest from the group, yanking her coat away from her to fully expose her as he unlocked her cuffs. Her coat an turquoise green, her mane silver and eyes sea green. What she lacked in breasts she made up for in wide hips and a large round rump. She let out a fearful yelp as she was pulled and flung to the snowy ground as her capture got behind her; unbuckling his pants to pull out and stroke his erecting penis. It was defiantly shorter compared to what most caribou had, but it was extremely thick and girthy.

"N-No please! Don't do this! Some pony Help! Help me please!" she begged, looking back at the others with tears flowing down her cheeks. Some couldn't stand the sight and looked away while others looked at her with pity and sorrow.

"Shut up, dumb cunt!" the caribou yelled, grabbing her head and shoving it into the snow while raising her ass high. Once his cock was hard and ready, he pressed the tip to her vagina and pushed in until all of his fat girth was deep inside; causing her to yell out in agonizing pain. "Be grateful I'm even giving you my cock. That I'm fucking your loose pussy!" he grunted, hips jerking into her hips at a rough pace; thick balls smacking into her stretching mound. "Fuck, is your pussy warm though! Hoho!"

The mare continued to holler and sob as the beast penetrated her, defiling her in the cold night; crying out for anyone to stop this madness. Each thrust inside her felt like a sword piercing through her core and twisting even deeper; causing her pussy to clutch up and try to force out the invading cock. This only gave the caribou more pleasure in fucking her faster. She even tried to crawl her way out from under him to no avail. His grip on her flank only pulled her ass into his sharp thrusts; pushing him deeper inside her.

"That's it, bitch! Take it! Take my dick and warm it up like the cock warmer you are!" he panted harshly; hands smacking at her ass cheeks to make her jiggle more upon every pump of his hips. Any more deeper and the caribou would have breached her womb. The mare could only moan in pain from how hard the caribou was raping her backside. Her cries took sharp inhales as she felt his shaft twitch inside; his shaft growing bigger and his thrusting growing more desperate. He was going to cum soon.

"A-Aww shit, here it cums! Take it! Take it, you stupid G-GAUGH!!"

...

"AHHHHHHHH!" screamed one of the mares; causing everyone to turn heads to what had suddenly happen. The caribou rose his head in alert and gasped. The mare in the carriage had her own eyes wide with shock at the sight before her.

Blood rushed down the caribou's neck before his head fell into the ground, body falling onto the mare beneath. She screamed in horror before managing to push the body off of her and scurry away; cum leaking out of her abused pussy. She would gasp before staring up at the one responsibility for the caribou's sudden death.

Before them was a cloaked figure in what looked to be made of caribou skin. In his hand was a bent up sword; dull and covered in fresh blood. Two menacing red eyes pierced from under his hood. The white of them glowing a faint green as purple haze evaporated from the sides. He only stared at the raped mare for a few seconds before staring up at the carriage; particularly at the caribou staring at him with dread.

"T-The thing in the woods! Holy shit, It's real!" he exclaimed before grabbing the leash and yanking at the beast to start moving. It let out a roar and started to run, pulling the mares chained to the back to the ground and dragging them.

The dark stallion's horn glowed, a violet aura emanating from his red horn. Out from the ground in front of the war beast sprouted out jagged crystal rocks; impaling the beast through it's torso. It let out a dying cry as the carriage was flipped backwards, launching the caribou and the mares out and onto their backs.

The mare below Sombra would stare up and horror before getting to her feet and fleeing for her life, limping away into the forest. He looked back to watch her run away before hissing and holding his head in pain. Clearly, that spell wasn't a good idea, but it prevented them from going anywhere far. He grunted, shaking it off before approaching the carriage; dropping the now useless weapon next to the headless corpse.

...

The mare would look up, seeing the looks of pain and bruised faces of the others. Her eyes widened when seeing that the dark stallion coming towards them. As fast as she could, she looked around for something to defend herself with; only to discover the the chain attached to the carriage. That's when she saw the caribou capture, knocked out with his sword still sheathed into his belt. She quickly crawled towards him to pull out the sword, gripping it tightly in her hands. If she could cut off the chain, they could escape!

Just as she got up, she came face to face with the dark unicorn; staring her down with a very vicious gaze. Instinctively, she pointed the sword at him; yelling at him to back off. But as she looked closely into those eyes, she got a terribly familiar feeling about them before she let out a gasp in disbelief; recognizing those piercing reds.

"N-No.. It can't be... You're suppose to be dead!"

This caused Sombra's narrowed gaze to soften. This one... recognized him? Before he could even utter a response, the mare turned to her side and slashed down onto the chain cutting it. She then helped a mare up, shaking her out of the dizziness of the crash. "Go! Get the others up and go!" she urged. It took her only a few minutes to realize what she said before nodding; going to help out the other mare's chained. Sombra watched before all of the mares were freed; grabbing whatever clothes they could and fleeing into the darkness of the woods. That one mare stopped, turning back to give Sombra a cold look before disappearing as well. Maybe it was coincidence, he thought. Surely she couldn't have...

"Ugh.. What happened.." came the groan of the fallen caribou soldier. He rose up to his hooves; rubbing at the pain in his shoulder before his eyes fell onto the empty chains and the dead body of his subordinate.

"Wait what! No! NO! NO NO NO! WHERE'D THEY GO!" He spotted the massive trail of footprints and began to run after them. "HEY! GET BACK HERE, YOU BUNCH OF BI--"

His curse was cut off by a connecting fist to his muzzle; pushing him back into the tilted carriage. His eyes then fixed a glare onto Sombra.

"You... You did this. You're the one they were talking about, aren't you?" he spat at him; blood pouring out of his lip as he cracked his neck. He chuckled, "You're going to pay for this. You're a dead pony, you hear me?"

This caused Sombra to give a similar smug smile as he took a fighting stance.

"Oh ho, I'm going to enjoy wiping that smile off your fucking FACE!" he yelled before charging at the unicorn; the two engaged in a fist fight. The two slammed their fists into each other's jaws, guts and shoulders; determined to beat the other to a bloody pulp. Fortunately for Sombra, his body had grown harder and causing the caribou to suffer more pain with each hit. Unfortunately for Sombra, his usage of the spell left his body warn and drained of energy. And it only took another fist to the face before Sombra was onto one knew, panting heavily.

Damn it, he cursed himself. He really didn't consider that spell to drain him this much.

He yelled out in pain as the Caribou grabbed his horn, trying to crush it in his bare hands. Sombra gripped at his arm; trying to push him off to no avail.

"Stupid pony." He chuckled. "You thought you were tough? You thought you could beat us? You're just as stupid and weak as the rest of these whores! All your race belongs to us!"

Sombra growled, his eyes glowing once more as he stared fury into the beast; who just spat into his face and squeezed down on his horn harder; causing him to yell out in sheer pain.

"Now I take your magic... for the glory of King Dainn!" he declared, prepared to crush his horn when...

"G-GUURRAAGH!"

His entire body arched back at the pain coursing through his spine. Eyes wide, he turned to see one of the mares had returned to stab him through his back with his sword. She yanked it out, causing him to slip onto his knees before Sombra yanked his hands off his horn and delivered a headbutt to him; putting him out for good.

Really not the best move to do after your head felt like it was put into a head crusher. Still, it proved to be as effective as it was painful. He glanced at the dead caribou; his seventh after the week of others he ambushed and killed. If he was going to take back Equestria for himself from these idiotic beasts, he needed to get use to fighting against them. This little brawl only proved that he was getting much better fighting them without the use of his magic.

Sombra's attention then turned to the mare that had saved him... who was now pointing the blade at him once more. She was glaring harshly at him as if his own existence was some horrible crime. His returned the narrowed gaze while taking a better look at the mare.

She was cyan blue; sporting an impressive athletic build. Her petite breasts presented dark hard nipples; no doubt from being in the cold for so long. Around her waist and covering her crotch (much to his surprise) was a chastity belt. She must had been very special to one of them if she's shielded off from any other male from porking her. One her back was two numbs of pink flesh that used to be her wings; presumably removed to prevent her from flying. But what really got him curious was her mane. It wasn't just one color, it was a rainbow of them. In fact, this mare did look very familiar...

She would speak up with a hint of red in her cheeks.

"Yeah, get a nice good look, you fuck! Cause it'll be the last thing you ever get to see alive, Sombra!"

His name. It was the first time someone else spoke it. She knew who he was. She remembered who he was. This couldn't help but bring a chuckle out of his throat.

"It would appear my name still strikes fear and anger in the hearts of ponies. How fortunate that my legacy remains" He said, complimenting himself.

"Oh trust me, we wish we could forget about you.." she scoffed. "Fuck... If there's really a god above Celestia, then he really must hate us for bring you of all people back to life. Which brings me to my question: How are you alive? Last time I saw you, you exploded into fragments across Equestria."

Ahh, now he knew why she looked so familiar. She was one of the friends of that purple unicorn who assisted in thwarting his return.

"It's going to take more then the power of 'love and friendship' to finish me off." he gloated. "My return to Equestria was inevitable, you see. It was only a matter of time."

"Bullshit! This is the caribou's doing, isn't it! It only makes sense they'd want another megalomaniac back to enslave us all!"

He frowned, rolling his eyes. "Yes, because it was an accident I just butchered two of my allies." he said sarcastically. "Honestly, even if the caribou did bring me back to life, I wouldn't stoop that low in working with them. If anything, girl? They'd be better off under my command... as would the rest of you."

"Glad to know you're still as evil a tyrant could ever be.." she growled at him; keeping a sharp glare on him and her weapon steadily aimed for his wicked heart. "So you don't know how your alive and kicking?"

The evil unicorn would cast his gaze to the forest. "If you must know, I woke up weeks ago; feeling like I was a bunch of pieces glued back together. The only things I know is that I was alive again and Equestria had somehow fallen into the clutches of northern barbarians. How I've come alive is beyond even my understanding..."

Rainbow's stance was less tense at the mention of Equestria's downfall, causing her to look down at her hands and realize she was shaking. "Yeah... It's a long story."

"Do Tell... I'm quiet curious how the princesses manage to lose to a bunch of beasts and let their entire nation fall into ruin."

She glared back up at him, teeth clutching and her grip tightening on the sword. "Don't think this make you any less of a enemy to me, Sombra! The way I see it, you're still an evil emperor that needs his ass kicked to the curve! So give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't shove this sword down your throat and send you packing to Tartarus where you belong!!" She barked, raising her sword higher with the urge lunge at him rising.

Sombra would turn his general direction to her and smile smugly before he opened his arms apart; as if to embrace her on the spot.

"Do it then!" he challenged. "Strike me down right now! You're a heroine or Equestria aren't you? Is this not what you want?!"

He was quiet the risk taker, wasn't he? First using magic that would do him more harm than good, now taunting a heroine of Equestria; knowing full well that this Pegasus could easily do it. And from the look of focus in her magenta eyes, she was about to. But as he predicted, while her teeth bared and her glare narrowed, her grip on the handle loosen and she lowered her weapon down; muttering to herself in defeat. He snickered, lowering his arms as he steadily approached her.

"Even if I am an evil villain, you can't bring yourself to just kill the stallion who aided in your escape, can you? Very hard to hide your weakness though a brave mask~" he whispered to her teasingly to her.

"Go fuck yourself." She spat at him, glaring daggers at him. "You're not as tough as you say you are, Sombra. If I remember correctly, it took only a baby dragon to defeat you."

"Oh ho!" he crowed. "Got a lot of fight in you! Haha, I like that! If our situation wasn't so dire and we were both in our prime, I'd accept your challenge. Who knows, you could have served as my lieutenant."

"Ugh.. In your dreams." She growled, rolling her eyes.

...

While the smell of burning flesh was repulsive, the warm fire provided from the burning bodies was worth the stench. Using one of the lanterns to start the fire, Sombra and Rainbow Dash sat across from one another; staring into the flickering flames while warming up their hands and bodies. The wingless Pegasus sighed; clutching on the caribou coat around her Sombra generously gave to her. Like the bodies, it smelt awful; though providing her with warmth her body craved since starting her carriage ride naked.

She looked up at the dark unicorn; studying him. While she wished the pony responsible for enslaving a kingdom much like the accursed caribou, she had to admit it was relieving to finally to be in the presence of someone who wasn't interested in fucking her brains out. Hell, she was even surprised that he lent her this coat.

The same could be said for Sombra. He had been wandering these woods for a while now and it did make him grateful to be among his own kind again; regardless of the bitter feelings she held for him. Nonetheless, many questions kept popping in and out of his mind before the silent flickering of the fire grew uncomfortable.

"So..." he said; breaking the long lingering silence between them. "What has became of Equestria?"

"That depends." she grunted, not bothering to tear her gaze from the fire. "How much do you know?"

"Only a little. Most I got from a caribou was how great this.. 'King Dainn' fellow is for leading a successful invasion and turning all mares into slaves."

"Successful? Is that what they call that?" she scoffed bitterly. "More like fucking dumb luck thanks to Discord."

"Discord?"

"Y'know, the Spirit of Chaos? The caribou managed to corrupt him and use his magic to defeat the Princesses."

Ahh. So they did use an unfair advantage. No wonder he found it impossible to believe such simple minded creatures could ever hope to defeat the alicorn princesses. It really was sad to hear how such powerful and respected rulers were beaten by a fluke and are now spending their days drowning in the excess of brutes.

"It all started.. with the Fall." Rainbow began. "Ships sailed in with massive bulky creatures with swords and shields boarding the shores; demanding Equestria to submit to Caribou lifestyle and put all mares on leashes and treat us nothing more but fleshy holes to shove their cocks into for relief. Of course, it was up to us.. me and my friends, to stop them. And we were winning too... until they overpowered us with their corrupted magic. They managed to influence and trick all the stallions that if they joined them, their lives could be better and more fulfilling. I don't know what's more sick. The fact that they were so easily tricked.. or so willing."

Betrayal. A very dark and powerful emotion that can change one's perception of reality so suddenly. Yes, he recognized this emotion very well; as he was guilty of sparking this emotion in a long lost friend...

"They ganged up on us, held us down and raped us; relishing in the new source of power. Many of us cried for them to stop, pleading for them to fight back. But there wasn't much we could do. The men brothers, friends and lovers were using us like we weren't even people; It was unbelievable! But not as unbelievable when the news came that King Dainn defeated both Celestia and Luna."

Sombra couldn't even begin to imagine the fury and despair that she and her friends must have felt when hearing their beloved idol fallen and soiled in tainted seed. It made him almost... empathetic for them. Almost... guilty that he would basically do the exact things if he were the one invading Equestria for the throne. Well, minus the 'all mare's as sex slaves' and 'using Discord to cheat' part. Either way, the more he learned about King Dainn, the more he was probably going to enjoy killing him once all his powers had returned.

Speaking of his plan, it was probably best to not mention this around the former element of harmony. So far, she was proving to be incredibly useful to him and didn't want to possibly ruin this opportunity. That... and she did save his life back there. He would have to pay her back somehow...

"... Some of us broke free." Rainbow continued; causing him to snap out of his thoughts so he could pay attention to more details he might had missed. "That's how the resistance camps started. I managed to escape with Pinkie Pie and AJ and gather a lot of other mares to fight back. We needed to plan accordingly if we were going to fight back and take back our home. A lot of us were determined to die for Equestria. We started small; rescue as many mares and stallions as we could and try to bring our numbers up. Then one night, I was tasked to save Pinkie and her sisters before they came in caught me and... they... t-they.."

Her voice was trembling now; almost on the verge of breaking into a sob. But her pride refused to cry; especially in front of Sombra. So she angrily spat,

"They took my wings! They tore them right off my back! I was pinned down and they fucked every hole my body offered while I watched them take away the last thing I enjoyed about life!" she panted; angry seething out of her words as she glared at the corpse burning away in the fire. She probably didn't get a chance like to this to vent and unleash her emotions. That privilege not being granted to her thanks to the perverted scum. He would let her vent to him, if only so she couldn't read his expression as he took in this information.

The resistance camps.

She told him that they were saving as many as they could; growing their numbers. If their numbers were high enough, perhaps they could form an army to fight back with. An army he could potentially lead; though that was if he was capable of earning their trust. A task he knew that was not so easily said and done with given these circumstances. Still, it meant that his chances of fighting against the caribou would be much greater than he originally planned to do on his own. Which, now that he thought about it, would be a huge mistake in overconfidence.

"And like that, I was chained up and set to be auctioned off to some pervert before you came along." she was looking up at him now; her glare softened as she rubbed her eyes of any forming tears. "But yeah, that's how the Fall of Equestria happened. Look... I guess I should say thank you for getting me out of this shit so... thanks.... and thanks for... letting me vent a little.." Her cheeks flourished a bit as she looked away while sighing; a huge portion of stuff off her chest.

"... Your welcome." He said; noticing the awkwardness in his voice. He wasn't used to being an emotional rock for ponies to come crying to about problems; least of all one of the mare's responsible for his death. Tonight had proven to be quiet eventful. His ears perked up as he watched her stand from her seat.

"Look, Sombra. I don't like you and I'm sure you don't like me. Frankly, I don't give a fuck what you do or how you came back. That's not my problem. I need to get back to Ponyville and help the resistance take back Equestria. I hope what I said helped you understand our situation, but that's as far as I'm going to help you. Goodbye, Sombra.." And with that said, she turned to leave towards the direction she came from.

"Wait..."

His voice made her pause before turning back to him. The dark unicorn got up from his seat and followed her.

"I'm coming with you."

"What!?" She exclaimed, arching an eyebrow. "To hell you are! I'm not just gonna bring you to a group of ponies you could mind rape to do your bidding. I don't trust you!"

"You don't have much choice" he said, a slight smirk on his muzzle. "What makes you think you can slip back to your little resistance without being caught again? You can't fly and they'll overpower you easily. Now believe me, you are very fit for a mare.."

She her cheeks flourished as she covered her perky breasts in her crossed arms; growling at him.

".. But think of it this way. With me by your side, I can grant you safe passage among the caribou... Of course, It'll take some clever role play on your part. But think of it this way..." Sombra said; walking in front of her. "You owe me much more than a story for getting you out from a bargain auction where your pussy will be sold to the highest bidder. Just as I owe you for saving my arse back there."

Rainbow continued to be defiant and resilient to the idea of being around the former tyrant, but he stated facts. She needed him just as much as he need her; even if the other did not want to openly admit it. And he really was the only one who could help her back to her friends...

"Alright fine!" she sighed, staring up at him with reluctant magenta eyes. "It's a deal. You help me back to the resistance, I'll speak with the resistance leader about you joining along. Knowing her, you'd probably be good use to us in fight back. BUT!" and she empathize this next point by she grabbed him by the collar to pull him to her face,

"If I see or even feel you get the idea that you can control us for whatever plan you're plotting, You're going to wish I didn't save your sorry ass. You got me?!"

Sombra kept his smug little grin as he followed up with her threat,

"Trust me, Rainbow mare. You might find me being in charge the best decision to make against the caribou. But if you insist, You have my word as a king. No dark influences on my part."

"You'd better not if you want to keep your balls intact.... and it's Rainbow Dash."

"Yes quite.. Now, we head to Ponyville."

With a humph, she released Sombra's collar and lead in front of him towards the path back to Ponyville; leaving behind the burning bodies and broken carriage. Thankfully, this evening looked to be less snowy then the other night. If there was a Inn or motel near by, the two could book in, get some food and sleep. And while Rainbow felt nothing more for Sombra than an enemy working with her to stop a bigger evil at play, Sombra was deeply considering the possibility having her as a comrade when they joined up with the resistance.

And who knows? Perhaps later on down the line, she could become a loyal soldier to lead his army to reclaim Equestria.

Author's Note

What's this? Another chapter after so long?

Why yes. I finally managed to gain a schedule to sit down and write more. So for those who were wondering if I'm continuing this story, I hope this was worth the wait. As always, I'll be editing this and previous chapters, so don't be too nosy if my grammar is shit.

Can't say when the next chapter will be about, but hopefully soon. Thanks for reading!
