Dark Crystal Prince

"-t up" came a voice from above me.

"Go away" I said waving a hoof in the voices direction with my face in the pillow.

"Fine I will just tell celestia to forget the peace and declare war on her" said Sombra now rousing me from my slumber. I bolted up and looked around gladly no one else was in the room with us.

"No brother we need peace for now maybe some other country but until you find a way to lower and raise the sun and moon we will have to be allies" I said rolling out of bed and standing next to him. He looked exhausted, probably spent all of his time in the library.

"Are you gonna be ok" I said raising a brow. He just blinked for a moment but responded.

"I'm fine" he said void of emotion.

"Go to bed I will handle the politics" I said lifting him in my magic and putting him on the bed much to his displeasure.

"I said I'm fine I can keep going" he said sitting up in the bed.

"Just lay your head down and sleep ok I will wake you in a few hours ok" I said looking at the clock "I will wake you in 4 hours it only 8am now, so rest please" he obliged and laid down while I went to the shower to wash up. About half an hour latter I wash all clean and ready for the day.

"I said go to sleep and I mean it" I said just before I walked out of the door hearing a defeated sigh behind me. Smiling I left the room shutting the door behind me as I went. Trotting down the hallway I eventually came to a door guarded by two night pony pegasi in purple armour.

"Are you two truly night ponies or is this some enchantment" I said walking in front of them. They didnt even move.

"State your business" the one on my right said it was a mare.

"I only wish to speak with you two I was under the expression me and my brother were the only two umbrums left" I said now holding a hoof to my chin.

"We are bat ponies not umbrums" she said now looking confused only slightly though.

"Is that what they told you, I also was told the same thing but I found the truth we are umbrums or shadow ponies we are the pegasi versions I just have a horn added on I'm no true alicorn just granted regular unicorn magic" I said sitting on my flank thinking this may take awhile.

"Ive never even heard of an umbrum" she said

"Yet you are one, my brother is one but the unicorn form of one you are fed lies yes we look like bats but we are not bat ponies those are vamponies you two are umbrums ask your princess she may know more than she let's on" I said trying again to reason with them.

"We will now move along" she said stepping back into place. I just shrugged and moved on not really caring anymore. I found myself in a dining hall where celestia, luna, shining, cadence, twilight, rainbow and pinkie were sitting eating breakfast.

"Good morning princey" said pinkie waving a hoof at me. Ignoring the nickname I sat down next to dash where I magiced some pancakes over with syrup and butter.

"So why have you not told your guard what they truly are" I said to luna after I swallowing a mouthful of food.

"What do you mean" she said raising a brow.

"Didnt I tell you about umbrums" I said looking around it was twilight who spoke up.

"I think you mentioned them once or twice"

"Me and my brother are umbrums your night guard are umbrums a very small race that has dropped in numbers, yes you can call then night ponies but the proper term is umbrum" I said taking another bite of my pancakes. I continued on telling them fully of the umbrum race but withholding certain secrets like the army of them under the Crystal empire.

"So you are all born from shadows" twilight asked

"No we can harness the shadows using it for many things hiding or fighting and many others" I said taking a sip of tea. We continued going back and forth until we came upon dark magic.

"What makes it dark" I said confusing them.

"Well its all black and spooky" pinkie said adding ominous sounds to add to her claim.

"No magic is evil or good it is only magic, what you do with it is what matters say a crazy unicorn burns a city to the ground with magic would you see the spell as evil, now think of a doctor healing a cut or broken bone would you see the magic he used as good" I said making them think harder on what I had said. "Think about discord chaos magic is still only magic its just how its used he only used his for pranks and basic humor" I said chuckling remembering his antics.

"I still can't believe your friends with him" rainbow said which I just ignored. I finished up my meal as did the others and we all headed for the throne room.

"Well princess we have to go back to ponyville" she said to celestia then turned to me "it was nice to meet you origin" she said with a wink. Next was pinkie who crushed me in a hug and shook me slightly which I returned but with less strength. Rainbow gave me a quick peck on the cheek and blushed that said goodbye as she flew after her friends.

"So my young prince are you ready to sign this peace treaty" celestia asked now standing next to me. I only now realised I was only slightly shorter than her and only a little taller than luna.

"Actually I have a few extra terms I would like to add to this treaty" I said as she raised a brow.

"And what would that be" she asked while smiling.

"I want all the cake" I said as she frowned and look horrified.

"No please not the cake" she said with fear.

"Yes you highness all of them" I finished with a raised hoof. I only held on for a few more seconds before me and celestia burst out laughing while the others just starred on in confusion.

"That was to good to pass up, now I truly do wish to change it slightly your sister has informed me of your things such as power to your technologies if you are willing to install such things to my empire I would be able to offer copper in return" I said as we walked towards the throne where both the sisters sat.

"Hmm is there anything else" she asked.

"Not that I need of your kingdom only this one thing is sufficient your majesty" I said bowing my head slightly.

"Than there is one things I wish to add also" she said now summoning a paper with our terms on it.

"And that is" I asked curiously.

"I ask that if we are ever in danger that your empire would assist us and vise versa" she said as I put a hoof to my chin. I really dont plan on a war with equestria unless provoked and I see no point in taking over an ally.

"It would be our honor to help you when you are in need" I said as she stamped her hoof on the parchment than luna did the same. It was than floated to me with some ink I got it on my hoof and looked over the paper. Everything looked as it should so I stamped my hoof down making it flash for a second binding the contract.

"Than it is done we now stand in peace as ally thank you prince, you and your brother are welcome to stay as long as you wish just let us know when you are ready to go home" celestia said which I nodded to and exited the throne room and went to the kitchen.

"May I help you sir" a maid asked as I entered.

"Yes I have a small request may I have a fresh apple pie" I asked as she smiled and walked away. A few moments later she came back with a basket covered in a cloth. She moved the cloth to reveal a still steaming apple pie underneath.

"Thank you" I said flipping her a copper coin as I picked up the basket in my teeth. I than checked a wall clock to see it was now 12pm so I need to wake Sombra up. I walked down the hall passing the umbrum guards again and made it to my room and entered.

"Sixteen years old and he still cuddles things" I whispered to myself while chuckling. My little brother was hugging a stray pillow to his body with a smile on his face. Trotting over I nudged him and he didnt stir.

"Fine be that way" I said smirking. I grabbed the pillow in my magic and slipped it from his grasp. He frowned as he reached around looking for something to cuddle. I was to busy laughing to see the incoming hoof but it was to late.

"Hey wake up let me go" I said while struggling to get out of his death grip he had on me.

"Sombra get up right now" I ordered which made him stir slightly.

"Five more minutes" he mumbled out groggily.

"I will run out of oxygen by than" I said as his grip got tighter sighing I realised I had no other choice. Reaching a hoof up I snaked it under his front let and started to move it. His eyes shot open as he started to giggle like a school filly from the tickling.

"Hahaha s-st-top it haha" he struggles to speak as I continued to tickle him. I felt something grab my tail as I looked back and saw it in a black aura.

"Hey don't-" I was cut off as he flung me across the room where I hit the wall with a thud "-throw me" I finished while sliding down the wall. Groaning I got back up and went back over to the bed.

"Well I will be out for most of the day so have fun for now because we are leaving af midnight" I said rubbing my head in pain. He nodded as I grabbed the basket from the bed stand and walked out.

"That actually kinda hurt" I mumbled to myself as I flexed a now sore left fore hoof as I flew towards the wonderbolts stadium to visit before I left. I had the basket held in my magic on my back as I flew threw the skies. Eventually I came upon the stadium and saw some blue streaks leaving smoke as they flew in practice.

"Hay you came" a voice from behind me said making me turn to face them.

"Hey soarin yeah this is my last day here so I thought I would and here I even brought you a gift" I said as I floated the basket over to him and landed it at his hooves.

"Hey you remembered" he said digging into the pie and inhaling the whole thing.

'Dear lord hes as bad as celestia is with cake' I though to myself as he finished his pie.

"Hey origin you made it" spitfire said walking up from behind Soarin. Behind her were some of the wonder bolt that were still in uniform.

"Yeah I'm leaving tonight so I though I could visit to say goodbye" I said as we all walked down the corridors and to the lower levels.

"Well we are about to hit the showers we have a show in an hour" she said as we walked on.

"I thought it was only practice" I said slightly confused.

"We had a change in schedule so its today" she said sighing. We made it to the locker room where we separated and went to out own places.

"Come this way you can hang in here until the show starts" Soarin told me as we walked to the stallions locker room. It was full of steam and looked like a typical locker room at a gym. I sat at in a chair relaxing as I waited for the show to start. Closing my eyes I nodded off and took a nap while waiting for them to get ready for the show.

"Hey origin let's go its time" I heard Soarin telling me as I was awoken. I just agreed and we went on our way to the flying field.

"Hey origin I was wondering since fire streak is suspended for a month for his stunt would you like to fill in for him" spitfire asked.

"Yeah I would love to" I said as she threw me a outfit and helped me get in it.

"So how is it" she asked as I move my body and wings.

"Spandex isnt really my thing but it works" I said as I could already tell the outfit was going to chafe. We all got our names announced even me as we all lined up to do a simple race around the track.

"Mares and gentlecolts stomp your hooves so we can begin the race" the announcer said as a roar of applause came from the stands for us. We all stood ready and wings out stretched prepared to go.

"GOOOO" the announced yelled as a boom of magic went off. We all shot forwards with me, spitfire, Soarin and fleetfoot in the lead. I would yell something but at this speed our voices would be drowned out. I shot forwards with a boost and now it was just me and fleet foot in the lead. She sure wasnt making thus easy on me thats for sure. Using some internal magic I focused more on my wings for speed and boosted myself right across the finish line only a few inches in front of fleetfoot.

"There you have it folks the newest addition origin eclipse WINS" the announced yelled as we all stood at the finish line breathing hard.

"Great job fleet I almost didnt think I was gonna make it there for a second" I said to her as we walked back to the booth to prepare for the next part.

"Thanks it feels bad to lose but now I have a reason to get better since none of the others have ever beat me in speed" she said as we walked in to prepare. We were handed some pouches off condensed smoke to add effect in the air show.

"Ok remember we are going to make a smoke picture of the logo and write wonder bolts beneath it ok" spitfire said to me as I was loaded up with smoke.

"I got it let's go" I said as we trotted back out and into the stadium. We flew up as the announcer yelled out for us. We all flew around pulling moves while activating the smoke around us while flying in a straight line. We split up and started to make a giant thunder bolt with wings. I was doing the name while the others handled the logo. After we finished we all flew back after running out of smoke and flew around the smoke and landed on the stage. Once again cheers went off from all around us and we bowed in appreciation.

"Thanks origin it means a lot" spitfire said as we walked back to the locker rooms. We entered and took off the uniforms and showered.

"Hey origin just keep the uniform you earned it" Soarin said as we walked out.

"Well how about we grab something to eat" spitfire said as we started to walk out.

"Sorry everyone I have to meet back with my brother so we can head home, we do have a kingdom to take care of" I said making them all look sad.

"Hey cheer up you are all welcome to visit anytime you like my kingdom is always open to everyone especially friends" I finished which earned me a group hug from them. I hugged back and said my goodbyes to them all.

After that I flew back towards the castle making my way towards the garden and flying over the maze and towards the center. I landed next to the statue of my friend discord and placed a hoof on it.

"This is goodbye for now my friend I will see you sometime soon" I said as I flew again this time towards the castle. I entered the side and made my way to the library to pick my brother up.

"Still reading I see find anything use full" I asked him as I entered seeing him reading three books at once.

"Yes actually and a few things that could help with some of this experiments you have in your workshop" he said not even glancing at me and still reading.

"Didnt I tell you to stay out of my workshop" I said rubbing my head with a hoof. He didnt reply only he levitated a book in my direction.

"Dating for dummies" I read aloud "why you little shithead" I said as I looked over to see him grinning like a madman man barely hold his laughs in. I threw the book at him knocking him to the ground where he let his laughs out.

"Oh that was to perfect" he said now getting up and wiping a tear from his eye.

"Haha very funny let's go grab what you need we are heading home" I said as he nodded and grabbed some books and we left. We trotted to the throne room to find both the princesses while they were switching from day to night.

"How may we help thou" luna said as we walked up.

"We are ready to head back to our home" I said as they both nodded.

"Well my prince this farewell for now we will visit sometime soon to see you so goodbye for now" celestia said as her and lunas horn lit up and we were teleported.

Crystal Empire

We both were teleported to the throne room in front of our thrones. Moving forwards we both sat down and met out a sigh of relief from the long two days we have had.

"So brother what will happen now" Sombra asked as I was starting to think about a new plan I bad thought up. Before I could answer a creature burst threw the door holding the crystal heart in its hooves. It looked like an insect alicorn with a black jagged horn and dragonfly wings. Its body was a shiny black except for a green area on its torso the body didnt look normal more like a chitin like material on a bug. It looked female from the body shape of it.

"Now that I have the heart nothing can stop me" she shouted to herself while laughing maniacally. Me and Sombra shared a glance before we both cleared out throats and earned the attention of the creature.

"And you are" I asked stepping forward towards the creature.

"I am the new ruler of this kingdom I am queen chrysalis"
