"You save yourself or you remain unsaved."
Alice Sebold

Shivers of terror ran down Twilight Sparkle's spine, as she looked around the room and saw only darkness. Not remembering where she was or how she had gotten there, the unicorn screamed loudly, "Hello … anypony there? Where am I?" but an eerie still was her only reply.

The lack of a response intensified the young mare's fear, causing her delicate heart to thunder rapidly in her chest, making it harder and harder for her to breathe.

Afraid, Twilight tried to move her legs but, much to her despair, the pony found out that she was unable to do so. Something was holding them in place. As nervous sweat dripped from her forehead, she made another attempt to shift her position, only to be greeted by the sound of rattling chains.

Terrified, the purple unicorn screamed, "What the ... what's going on?"

Suddenly, the very spot in which she stood lit up and the frightened mare could finally see why her limbs would not budge. Thick steel chains were wrapped around all four of her ankles, keeping her hind legs tied to the floor and her forelegs suspended above her head.

Twilight started to freak out when she noticed her predicament. She frantically pulled against her restraints with all of her might, but succeeded only in causing herself pain.

Petrified, the unicorn began sobbing and continued to shout for help, "Please, somepony help me! Rainbow, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Princess Celestia … is anypony out there?"

As the little mare continued her fruitless struggles, she could suddenly feel the air around her getting colder, as the chill of the northern wind seemed to run down her spine. Gazing in front of her, the pony observed a familiar shadow getting closer and closer.

With tears falling from her eyes, Twilight pleaded, "Please, I beg you, let me go! I just want to go home!"

The shadowy figure stopped a few feet in front of her and replied with a deep sinister voice which echoed throughout the chamber, "My dear, you are home. You belong to me, body and soul … remember?"

The purple unicorn could immediately place that voice, and it increased her fear exponentially. With utmost horror stirring in her heart, the young pony realized she was once again in the iron clutches of King Sombra. She started gasping for air and intensified her tugs, hoping to miraculously break her bindings.

Her desperate attempts amused the tyrant, who burst out in insane laughter.

Confused, Twilight inquired, "How did I end up here? When did you or any of your goons even get near me?"

Chuckling, the monarch responded, "I am always there Twilight … always right behind you. One moment of negligence was all it took, and here we are ... again. The only difference is, this time, you are here FOREVER!"

Suddenly, the darkness which lay before the purple unicorn was lit up by two verdant flames, that turned out to be the mad king's eyes. The stallion gazed upon the helpless mare with a sadistic smile. His horn started to glow, illuminating the chamber in an otherworldly red tint.

Twilight once again laid eyes upon her tormentor, and the sight terrified her to the core. Sombra appeared more monstrous than ever. His eyes were literally burning, as green blazes spewed out of them. His teeth were sharp, resembling fangs. Insidious armor with metal spikes protruding from it covered his hooves and chest. The wound she had given him was still there, and drips of blood steadily flowed from it. The black stallion was bigger than the young pony remembered, and she trembled uncontrollably as the king towered over her.

Unwilling to accept her fate, the purple unicorn protested, "No! I will not be your prisoner again. My friends will save me. We have defeated you before!"

With a grim tone, the tyrant replied, "Twilight, if you have 'defeated' me, then why am I still here?"

The stallion then took a few steps towards his pray, much to his captive's horror.

Knowing what would happen is she didn't fight back, the purple unicorn tried to fire a magical blast towards the monarch, but as she began channeling magic, her horn became flaccid, as dark crystal shrouds penetrated it.

Realizing she was powerless, the mare screamed at the top of her lungs. Tugging against her chains, she burst out, "Somepony, save me!"

After approaching his victim, Sombra stared Twilight directly in the eyes and exclaimed, "Not even death can save you from me!"

Shivering like a filly, the young pony replied, "What do you want from me? I don't have the Crystal Heart. You already took my virginity. What else do you want?"

"My dear, I want to be your first … your last … your everything!" proclaimed the tyrant, after which he forcefully kissed the prisoner, aggressively sticking his tongue in her mouth.

Sensing her oppressor's tongue being jammed down her throat, Twilight tried to back away. Pointlessly tugging against her chains, she attempted to get as far as possible from the tyrant, but found herself unable to escape Sombra's grip.

While his captive struggled, the black unicorn slapped her flank with his hooves, scratching the purple unicorn's tender flesh with the iron spikes on his armor. The sharp pain caused the frightened mare to shed a few tears, as she desperately tried to think of something.

After a few minutes, Sombra ended the smooch and pulled back, perversely licking his lips with sadistic satisfaction. Donning a wicked grin, he commented, "Even sweeter than I remembered. I wonder, are you other lips still as sweet?"

Petrified, the purple unicorn tried to close her hind legs and shield her vagina, only for the chains to keep them in place. Feeling desperate, she tried to negotiate, "Sombra, listen to me, you have nothing to gain by doing this. Please, just use me as a bargaining tool, I am sure you …"

Before the mare could say another word, Sombra put his hoof over her mouth and said, "Shhh … the time for talking has passed. Here, let me show you a better use for a tongue!"

With that, the king opened his mouth and his tongue began extending. It went all the way down to the floor and started to slither up Twilight's legs, like a serpent, going towards her pussy. Once it had reached her opening, it moved circularly around her vaginal lips, licking her sex, while the disgusted mare struggled in protest.

Amused by his captive's predicament, the king taunted "Am I breaking the 'second date, no tongue' rule?" After a few seconds, the monarch used his tongue to penetrate Twilight's vagina, causing the mare to let out shrieks of discomfort.

Still hoping to fight back, the purple unicorn tried to make use of her sorcery again, but as she channeled energy into her horn, it simply shattered. Seeing the source of her magic destroyed made the young pony's heart break in two. She shook her head, trying to comprehend how such a horror could have happened.

Noticing his prisoner's lament, the monarch let out an insidious laughter, while his tongue continued to defile the mare's flower, as it slithered around in her vagina.

Falling into a pit of desperation, having just lost her only means of fighting back, Twilight looked up to the ceiling and cried, "Princess Celestia, please help me! Save me from this monster!"

After putting his tongue back into his mouth, Sombra replied in a sinister tone, "I am more than just a simple monster! I am the thing that keeps you up at night, the evil that haunts every dark corner of your mind!"

With that, the king spread his legs and revealed his throbbing erection. His cock was repulsive. It had an unnatural size, far too big for any mare to handle. It flung up and down as blood rushed through it. Even though it was hard as a rock and fully extended, semen was dripping from it onto the floor.

Gazing upon the stallion's member made the purple unicorn's stomach churn. She felt like the whole world was crumbling around her. Trying to pull away as much as the metal chains allowed her, Twilight yelled, "Not again … please not again!"

As he lifted himself on his hind legs, Sombra approached the frightened mare and aggressively caressed her. Smiling sadistically, he stated, "Oh yes, again! And again … and again … and again!"

After that he thrust his penis into the purple unicorn's vagina, causing its massive tip to hit her narrow hole. Pushing forward with extreme force, his iron-hard phallus began to penetrate the mare's sex, painfully expanding it as it made its way towards her womb.

Feeling her pussy being torn apart, Twilight screamed loudly and struggled like mad, but her protests only seemed to excite the maniacal tormentor, who just shoved his penis deeper up the purple unicorn's opening.

With tidal waves of pain surging through her body, causing her legs to shake, the little mare pleaded, "Stop it, you will kill me. Please, just pull it out. I will suck it until you cum, I promise. Mercy's sake, pull out!"

Unwilling to listen to his captive, the monarch replied, "Your pleas would move me to tears ... if I still had tears to shed!" After that he thrust with full force, shoving his entire cock all the way up Twilight's pussy, brutally penetrating her womb. Enjoying his prisoner's shivers of pain, Sombra caressed the mare even harder, pushing against her back with his hooves, making gaping red marks in her tender flesh.

Twilight was learning a new definition of pain. Every single part of her body was aching, as the brutal stallion had his way with her. Her flower was being torn apart, pistoned by his massive dick. Knowing she had no chance of escaping, the mare lost all hope and just wished she could die.

After a few more minutes of raping his captive, the king said in a playful tone, "This is getting boring. I have already taken you in this hole and it has gotten too loose for me. I think the time has come for me to take your other virginity!"

The monarch then took his cock out of Twilight's pussy and perversely waved it in front of the frightened mare. His massive member then split vertically in two, and out of each part a full grown penis sprung up. The black stallion suddenly had two huge boners pointed towards the terrified purple pony.

Unable to fathom what she was witnessing, Twilight Sparkle gasped, "How the hell are you doing this?"

With a grim tone, the tyrant answered, "I am the king, I can do anything I want!"

He then proceeded to jam one of his penises up the purple unicorn's pussy and the other up her butt. As the giant dicks made their way up the young mare's vagina and anus, she felt her entire body being torn apart, as her organs shifted to make way for the invasive insertions.

Twilight tried to struggle, hoping to somehow escape the mad king's iron grasp, but wasn't capable of moving a muscle. Her legs had simply frozen in place and were unwilling to respond to any of her commands. As sweat dripped from her forehead and blood fell from her holes, the desperate mare attempted to think of something else, hoping to block the pain out of her mind, but found herself unable to do so.

Sombra laughed as he continued to thrust his phalluses into the aching mare's vagina and butt. Delighted by the feeling of her tight openings being torn apart, the monarch huffed with pleasure. Hoping to further the torment his captive, the black stallion then took out his tongue and proceeded to lick Twilight's chest, slowly moving down towards the mare's breasts.

As the king's saliva hit her skin, the purple unicorn felt a burn. Looking down, she noticed that her oppressor's tongue secreted acid, which singed her soft skin, creating gruesome wounds and making her cry out in pain. Not knowing what else to say, the petrified pony burst out, "If you destroy my body now, you will never again be able to enjoy it. Please, stop this madness and let me go!"

Laughing hysterically, the tyrant retorted, "Your body doesn't need to be in one piece for me to enjoy it. In fact, I think I like it better this way. Those burn marks look good on you."

After that, Sombra put his tongue near Twilight's pussy and slowly moved it across her abdomen and chest, all the way up to her left eye, charring her skin, giving the mare a red mark similar to the one the stallion had. Applauding sarcastically, the monarch exclaimed, "Look, now we have matching scars!"

Desperate, Twilight looked around and suddenly noticed there were other ponies in the room watching them. Instead of jumping in to help, they were just standing there, staring at the helpless mare getting raped. Unable to believe their lack of compassion, the purple unicorn pleaded, "Please, somepony help me. You can't let him do this to me, you have to aid me!"

The spectators refused to listen to the young mare. They just looked at each other and chatted, causing the room to echo with the collective murmur of their voices, "Slut, look how much she enjoys it … Whore, she is nothing more than Sombra's cum-dumpster … Look at her pussy, it's wide enough to fit a carriage through!"

Upon hearing that, Twilight could sense her sanity being shattered, as the physical agony she was enduring seemed to intensify. Driven mad, she lashed out, "What's wrong with all of you! Has the whole world gone mad? I am not a slut. I am not a whore. Stop saying that!"

With tears falling from her eyes, the young mare looked behind her and saw her parents, staring at their daughter with shame. With a timid voice, the purple unicorn begged, "Mom, dad … help me, please!"

Looking away, Twilight Velvet and Night Light stated in unison "You are not our daughter! You are just a worthless cunt!"

With a wicked glee in his eyes, Sombra proclaimed, "You see Twilight, you have no friends and no family. You are all alone and you are all mine … for this night and all nights to come!"

The tyrant then grasped the little mare even tighter, making it hard for her to breathe, as he continued pistoning the purple unicorn's holes with his twin cocks.

Sensing her heart giving out, Twilight shook insanely and screamed, "This can not be happening. I am begging you King Sombra, please stop. I will do anything you want, just spare my life. I don't want to die. No … no … NOOOOO!"

Twilight Sparkle awoke screaming from the horrific nightmare. It had been the same dark vision which had plagued her every night for the past weeks.

Her pillow and sheets were soaking wet from the perspiration and tears she had spilled during her slumber.

Looking around the chamber, the unicorn sighed with relief when she realized that she was back in her bedroom. She had not been captured after all.

The mare put her hoof over her rapidly beating heart and took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Her mane was all over the place, due to her previous struggles. She was sweating bullets and shaking like a leaf.

Remember her awful dream, Twilight lifted her foreleg and touched her horn. Much to her alleviation, it was still attached to her head and in one piece. After gulping heavily, she lifted her blanket and gazed at her pussy. It had not been violated nor had it been split in two. She was alright … at least physically.

Putting a forced smile on her face, the purple unicorn exclaimed, "It was just a dream. Nothing to worry about, I am totally fine!"

For a second, she actually believed her words. However, immediately afterwards, her tired mind got the better of her and the little pony broke down and started sobbing, no longer able to lie to herself. As tear after tear fell from her eyes, she confessed "No … no I am not fine. Why does this keep happening? Why does he keep coming back? I defeated him, he is losing the war. Sombra cannot harm me anymore … so why do I still see him every time I close my eyes? I just want to get some sleep, I don't want to dream no more!"

After wiping away her tears, the mare got out of bed and walked around the room, hoping to clear her head.

Trotting passed her desk, she gazed at her notes. Ever since she had returned from the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle had been working on developing a new light-magic spell which Equestria could use against Sombra's foul forces, but, due to her condition, she hand't made much progress. Thinking it would be a good way to keep her mind preoccupied, the purple unicorn proceeded to read her work, but felt her tired eyes shutting after just a few seconds. Shaking her head, she forcefully opened them and attentively stared at the papers, but her fatigue was too powerful to overcome.

Not wanting to go back to bed, Twilight went to the bathroom and rubbed cold water all over her face. It didn't prove as effective as she had hoped, since her eyelids still felt like they were holding the weight of the entire world upon them.

Even though, while she had been captured, she had managed to rely on the things she had read in books in order to expertly fool the monarch and save her friends, she just couldn't get the dark visions out of her dreams. No matter how hard she tried, she could not win against her own nightmares.

While going back to her bedroom, she walked passed her mirror. The purple unicorn then stopped and lit up her horn in order to gaze at her reflection. She looked awful. Her weary eyes had dark circles beneath them. Her tail and mane were a mess. Looking at her stomach, the pony could definitely notice she had unwillingly lost some weight.

Opening her legs, the mare glanced at her own pussy. It looked normal. It wasn't split open, nor any wider. It didn't have any scars or other marks.

At that moment, the words that the monarch had said to her while she had been raped ringed in hear ears, Even if you get back to Equestria … even if things change in the war … I will ALWAYS be your first time … and that will NEVER change!

Trying to calm herself down, the young pony whispered, "See, your flower looks nice. Stallions will still want you. Your life is not over … just get some sleep old girl. Sombra cannot harm you, he isn't here, he…"

"Twilight?" interrupted a familiar voice.

Upon hearing it, the mare immediately closed her legs and turned around. Spike was standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes.

Blushing, the unicorn asked, "Spike, what are you doing up so late?"

Yawning, the dragon replied, "I heard a noise and thought I'd check up on you. What's wrong, why are you not sleeping? You look tired!"

Looking down, the pony stated, "Oh, sorry if I woke you up. Don't worry about me, I just … had a brilliant idea about the spell I am working on. I will hit the hay in no time, you just run back to your room now!"

With a frown on his face, Spike said, "Did you have a bad dream again? Why don't you ask your friends or the princesses for advice? I am sure they can help!"

Donning a fake grin, Twilight proclaimed, "I know, I know. But, like I said, I'll be fine. You just to back to bed and have a pleasant night."

Looking worried, the baby dragon slowly closed the door, affirmin"g, "Please take care of yourself Twilight. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you. Remember, whatever hardships you are facing, you don't have to face them alone!"

After her friend had left, the purple unicorn went back towards her bedroom and whispered, "Yes, I do! If I want the nightmares to stop, I HAVE to do this on my own! I have to fight him!"

Upon reaching her bed, Twilight reluctantly got in and covered herself with the blanket. After turning the wet pillow around, she remembered what Princess Celestia had told her. With a stern look on her face, the young mare said to herself, Maybe tonight … maybe tonight he'll be gone!

With that she lay her tired head down and fell asleep in mere seconds.

Twilight Sparkle found herself in a lovely green field. Looking around, she saw many colorful flowers lit up by the beautiful rays of the morning sun. The unicorn approached the blossoms and sniffed them, enjoying the aromatic fragrance which graced her nose.

Looking in the distance, she saw a playground where two adorable fillies and a cute colt were playing ball. The sound of their laughter delighted Twilight's ears, so she decided to go down and join them.

As she approached the foals, the purple mare noticed they all had their backs turned. Hoping to salute them, she gently tapped one of them on the back and said, "Hi!"

Suddenly, all three turned around simultaneously, and what Twilight saw shocked her and made her take several steps back. The eyes of the colts were missing an, in their place, stood gruesome dark holes. Instead of teeth they had fangs and their faces were covered in crystal boils, resembling those of the Tenebras.

As the unicorn backed away, the three foals slowly walked towards her, singing in unison with creepy young voices, "One, two, Sombra's coming for you … Three, four, He's at your door … Five, six, You'll choke on dicks … Seven, eight, Should've stayed up late … Nine, ten … You'll get raped again!"

The purple mare's heart started beating fast and her legs shook. Afraid, she screamed, "Noooo!" and ran away, hoping to get as far from the three as possible.

The green pasture around the pony shifted and became as black as the moonless night, all the flowers having suddenly died out. The sun disappeared and a sinister red light engulfed the sky. Frightened beyond belief, Twilight ran faster and faster, until she eventually tripped and fell.

After hitting the ground, she sensed herself getting wet between her legs. Looking at her vagina, the unicorn was horrified to see a black liquid pouring out of it. She screamed and closed her hind legs, but the substance still kept being secreted.

Petrified, she started crawling on the ground, not knowing what do to.

As the dark ooze continued to pour, it began crawling and gathered in a black puddle a few feet away from the scared pony.

Several seconds later, the liquid shifted, and from it the head of a stallion emerged. His eyes glowed green and a red horn spouted from his forehead. Moments later, Sombra's entire body materialized itself before Twilight.

With a sinister smile on his face, the king inquired, "How's this for a wet dream?"

The mare yelled atop of her lungs and got up, fleeing away from the monarch as fast as she could.

Laughing maniacally, the stallion chased her, stating, "Why are you screaming? I haven't hurt you … yet!"

Not wanting to get caught, Twilight picked up the pace and raced ahead, but stopped when she abruptly hit something. Gazing forward, the purple unicorn noticed iron bars had appeared in front of her, preventing her from advancing.

Horrified, she turned around and saw the tyrant approaching. With tears in her eyes, she demanded, "Leave me alone!"

Chuckling, the black unicorn pointed to a floating clock which had suddenly materialized itself behind Twilight and affirmed, "It's way past your rape time, young lady."

Closing her eyes, the frightened pony shed a few tears, but then remembered her mentor's words. Putting a serious expression on her face, the mare lit up her horn and fired several energy bolts at her tormentor, as she lashed out, "I am not afraid of you. You cannot hurt me. I refuse to be a victim any longer!"

As the beams hit his flesh, Sombra mockingly lifted his right foreleg and let out fake cries, "Ouch … Twilight please stop it. You are hurting me. What am I going to do? Oh yeah … how about THIS?"

Suddenly, the king grew three times his size. He sprouted two more red horns from his forehead and fired a massive abyssal lighting blast from them, charring the ground a few inches in front of his prey. His black mane fluttered wildly in the wind. Two more eyes appeared on his face, which burned with bright green flames. His mouth opened wide to reveal huge fangs. A disgustingly long tongue came out, which had a mouth with teeth at the end. His tail had changed into a serpent, with venom flowing from its fangs. Four long metal blades came out of his right front hoof, making it seem like he had a claw.

Seeing the monster that had appeared before her, the purple unicorn fired a few more blats at him, but noticed how utterly ineffective they were. Trying desperately to think of something, the frightened pony backed away into the iron bars, staring with dread at her tormentor.

The tyrant lifted his claw into the air and began swinging its blades before his pray. Chuckling, he taunted, "Your eyes say 'No, no,' but my mouth says 'Yes, yes.'"

Still unwilling to give up, Twilight lashed out, "I will not let you do this! I am Princess Celestia's student. I am stronger than you!"

Lifting his hoof into the air, Sombra replied, "Ah, yes, Princess Celestia. Why don't we invite her over to see just how powerful she is? In fact, let's invite all of the princesses!"

In a moment, a flash of light emanated from the sky and the three alicorns appeared, flying towards the black unicorn. The mares then launched a barrage of arcane missiles at the monster, as they soared around him rapidly, dodging his claw strikes.

Looking towards her pupil, Celestia stated, "Come on Twilight, join us and defeat the nightmare! FIGHT!"

Before the purple mare could do anything, the king laughed hysterically and exclaimed, "Poor, pathetic princesses! You rushed over to save your beloved student ... but who is going to save you?"

The stallion's shadow then shifted and tens of tentacles started coming out of it, flying upwards at demonic speed. The alicorns tried to dodge them, attempted to avoid their insidious grip, but were too slow to escape. As the three mares raced through the air, the tentacles grasped their forelegs and dragged them down to the ground.

Celestia, Luna and Cadance struggled like crazy, as they felt the shadowy constructs wrapping themselves around all of their limbs, but were unable to get free. When they sought to use their magic, Sombra fired three shadow bolts which hit the princesses' horns, covering them in black crystals.

With the helpless mares in his clutches, the king grinned mischievously and stated, "Shall we show our little purple unicorn friend what awaits her?"

Moments later, three more tentacles sprung up and went near the alicorns' pussies. The princesses tried to escape, they attempted to move their limbs, but were completely unable to. Sweat fell down their alluring bodies as they tugged against their unrelenting shadowy bindings.

As if having a mind of their own, the tentacles pulled on the legs of the princesses, spreading them wide, revealing their splendorous flowers. Seeking to prevent their prey from escaping, they wrapped themselves around the mares' torsos, binding their wings.

Furious grunts and frantic screams echoed through the barren field, as Sombra's creations slithered all over the alicorns' frames. Knowing full well what their main objective was, the tentacles rubbed themselves next to the mares' genitalia, aggressively fondling their vaginal lips. The disgusted ponies cringed their teeth, as they felt their sexes being defiled by the abominable appendages.

With a malicious sneer, Sombra commanded, "I believe we have courted the princesses long enough. Time to enter their ... royal chambers!"

Moments later, the tentacles penetrated the vaginas of the three alicorns. Celestia, Luna and Cadance let out huffs of pain, as they felt their flowers being invaded by the king's shadowy creations.

With rage burning in her eyes, Cadance lashed out, "You sick perverted monster. Let us go this instant!"

Ignoring the princess's protests, the monarch watched with delight as his tentacles began pistoning the mares' pussies, brutally thrusting in and out of their openings. With every penetration, the tenebrous limbs went in deeper and deeper, forcing themselves inside the ponies' wombs.

As they felt torrents of anguish emanating from within, the alicorns shed salty tears and increased their struggles, pointlessly trying to move their restrained legs.

Letting out cries of agony, Celestia looked towards her petrified student and addressed her, "Twilight, don't give in to the fear. Even if we are down, you can still fight him!"

Taking sadistic delight in his captives' pain, the black stallion lifted his hoof and twirled in in the air, causing three more tentacles to appear and rush towards the alicorns' flanks.

As she saw the spectral limbs approaching her butt, Luna clenched it and tried to pull away, yelling in anger, "Don't you even think of touching me there!"

Paying no attention to the princess's words, the tentacles pushed against the alicorns' tight sphincters and forced their way inside their asses. They slowly slithered forward, expanding the narrow holes as they advanced. The mares cried out and shed numerous tears, as their rumps shook from the agony.

Watching with despair as her mentor, her former foal-sitter and the guardian of the night were being raped by the tyrant's creations, Twilight felt her stomach churn. Refusing to give up, she fired blasts of pristine light towards the tentacles, but the black unicorn just summoned dark crystal shields which blocked her shots.

As her body was being violated, Cadance gazed at the purple unicorn and stated, "Twilight, remember ... the power inside you is greater than any dark magic!"

Annoyed, the monarch commented, "Princesses should be seen and not heard!" He then snapped two of the blades on his claw and three additional tentacles were summoned. These ones rushed towards the alicorns' mouths, hoping to silence the defiant mares.

Seeing them coming, Celestia, Luna and Cadance clenched their teeth and refused to open their mouths, unwilling to be triply penetrated.

Demonstrating an insidious intelligence, the tentacles which had grasped the mares' legs and abdomens tightened their grip, putting great pressure on the bones, causing immense pain. Unable to resist, the alicorns eventually gave in and screamed. Seizing the opportunity, the other shadowy limbs immediately pushed themselves inside the princesses' mouths, forcefully ramming themselves down their larynges.

The three mares were struggling to breathe, as their throats were being brutally pumped by the insidious tentacles. Sombra's disgusting creations were crawling next to their skin, thrusting into all of their holes, causing waves of anguish to thunder through their bodies.

Unable to say anything, only to mumble, the princesses shed tear after tear as the tentacles started filling their holes with disgusting cum. To add insult to injury, the king created a few more appendages which crawled next to the violated alicorns and began spraying jizz all over their faces while their mouths were still being humped. As the gooey liquid got into their eyes and noses, the mares rapidly shook their heads, desperately trying to get the semen out off their nostrils so that they could breathe.

Looking at the humiliated princesses, the black stallion chuckled and stated, "So much for a happy ending!"

Grinding her teeth with rage, Twilight shouted, "No, leave them alone! I said I would not allow you to harm another mare and I meant it!" With that, she teleported behind Sombra and blasted him with a powerful bolt of magic, only for the monarch's serpent tail to get in the way and swallow the projectile.

Amused, the king turned his head around 180° and taunted, "Anxious to get started, aren't we?" He then lunged a fireball towards the purple mare.

Seeing it coming, the young unicorn teleported away and appeared to the left of the tyrant, lunging a bolt of energy towards his eye. Slightly hurt from the impact, the stallion gazed angrily at Twilight and snapped two of the blades from his claw, causing crystal bars to spring from the ground and encase the pony in a cage.

The purple unicorn hit the bars with her hind legs, trying to break free, but was unable to shatter them.

Laughing, the tyrant inquired, "The princesses are no longer able to help you. They are a bit … tied up at the moment! Who else can save you? ... I know, how about your precious friends?"

Suddenly, out of thin air, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy appeared and rushed towards the king, hoping to aid Twilight in her battle.

Giving her friend a wink, Pinkie said, "Don't worry Twily, we got this!"

Terrified to see what her friends were doing, Twilight put her fore-hooves over her head and shouted, "No girls, don't. You have no idea what he can do!"

Before they could react, Sombra took a deep breath and blew towards the mares, creating a chilling tornado which lifted them high into the air and sent them crashing down afterwards. He then summoned five hideous Tenebras which jumped at the fallen ponies with demonic furor.

The mares tried to fight back, to swing their hooves at their attackers, but the unnatural strength and speed of the shadow stallions proved to be too much for the five girls to handle. As retribution against their prey's rebellious acts, the Tenebras struck the girls brutally, bruising their young bodies and nearly cracking their bones.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity screamed and sniveled, while their oppressors delivered blow after blow, blackening their eyes, scratching their backs and breaking their spirits. After several minutes of tormenting their captives, the insidious creations decided it was time to move to more interesting things, as they brutally slammed the mares to the ground and then proceeded to force themselves on top of the five girls.

As they pointless struggled against their much stronger opponents, the mares gazed towards Twilight Sparkle and screamed, "Help us, please!"

Their begging immediately turned to screaming, as the Tenebras lowered their penises against the ponies' flowers and thrust their disgusting erections inside their vaginas. The cocks of the shadow stallions were truly abominable: they resembled rotten flesh, stiff and lifeless, filled with repugnant crystal boils which felt like shards of glass as they penetrated the delicate insides of the five mares.

Crying in agony, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack squirmed and shrieked, as they felt their wombs being torn apart while their bodies pulsated with spams of anguish brought on by the wounds the Tenebras had previously inflicted upon them.

Foaming at the mouth with rage, Twilight channeled magic through her horn and created an explosion so powerful, that it shattered the cage she was encased in. Running in zig-zags, she fired searing beams towards the Tenebras, but the king conjured a miniature black-hole which absorbed the projectiles.

Staring at the monarch with hatred, the purple unicorn yelled, "You only exist in my mind! In reality you are powerless. The free ponies of the world stand against you! Hope shines in their hearts yet again. They no longer fear your iron grip. My friends and I showed them that there is a better way!"

Huffing arrogantly, the tyrant answered, "A better way? Whichever way a pony goes in life, they all end up in the same place ... facing deaths unforgiving embrace. But if you think your pitiful actions have managed to inspire anypony, let's just see what the free stallions and mares of the world think about their heroine!"

Looking around, Twilight Sparkle noticed that she was suddenly being watched by hundreds upon hundreds of ponies, who just cowered in fear before the might of the shadow king and refused to help.

Turning towards them, the purple mare spoke up, "Listen to me, all of you. Together we are much stronger than this monster will ever be. With the power of hope we can overcome any obstacle. We just have to stop living in fear and start fighting!"

Much to the young unicorn's horror, the mob replied in unison, "No, we can't. Let's just give up, we will never win. It's better to accept our fate and surrender!"

The sound of Sombra's laughter could then be heard thundering across the land. His voice reached Twilight's ears and scared her very soul, "This is what happens with those who defy the king!"

Turning around, the purple unicorn saw the Tenerbas brutally humping her friends, who just sobbed and pleaded for their lives. Looking in the opposite direction, she noticed the princesses getting their cum-covered bodies crushed by the constricting tentacles, as all of their holes were aggressively pistoned.

Sensing her heart breaking in two, the frightened mare was starting to lose hope. After shedding several tears, she took a deep breath and decided to make one more attempt to fight her oppressor. Channeling as much energy as she could into her horn, she gazed up towards the monarch and lashed out, "And this is what happens to tyrants!" as she blasted a massive wave of light magic towards him.

Smiling arrogantly, the stallion just fired a jolt of shadow energy which immediately dispelled her wave.

Taking a few steps back, Twilight's legs shook as she witnessed her final plan failing. She looked around desperately, trying to think of something else to do.

With a wicked glee in his eyes, Sombra began taking huge steps towards the cowering mare, his body casting a sinister shadow which fully engulfed the landscape. Seeking to mock his captive even more, he commented, "You've had your little fun, but now it's over. The time has come for you to suffer … my LITTLE pony!"

Suddenly, Twilight could sense that the world around her was getting bigger. After gazing down, she noticed it was actually she who was getting smaller. Puzzled, she turned her head to the left, where the mirror from her house had suddenly appeared.

To her infinite shock, the purple unicorn was a little filly again. She was small and weak, and even her cutie mark was gone. Desperate, she started to cry, as she looked with horror at the monster coming ever closer to her.

Grinning at his wailing victim, the monarch opened his legs and revealed a massive cock, bigger than the Twilight's current body. Chuckling, the tyrant stated, "I'm warning you, things might get a little messy!"

Fearing for her life, the filly turned around and ran, only to be pushed back by the mob of ponies who proceeded to taunt her, "You cannot win … You will get raped … We know you want it you slut ... This will be your new first time!"

With streams of tears flowing from her eyes, Twilight yelled at them, "How can everypony be so cruel? Does nopony want to help me? Why is the world so evil?"

Completely out of ideas and devoid of hope, the filly then knelt in fetal position and shivered, as she watched Sombra getting closer and closer. Knowing in how much pain she would soon be in, realizing that there was no one left to help her, the purple unicorn closed her eyes and prayed for it all to be over soon.

At that very moment, an old pony with three legs stepped out of the crowd and headed towards the frightened filly. He gently pat her on the back and said, "There's good, there's evil, and in between, there's life. But if we want things to get better, we must make them better. We have to learn to face our problems, to fight them, for it is through such struggle that we become stronger!"

Twilight recognized that voice, and suddenly sensed her rapidly beating heart slowing down. Opening her eyes, she looked back, and saw her old friend smiling back at her and holding a snow cone.

Summoning great strength, Princess Celestia roughly bit on the tentacle forcing its way down her neck, snapping its tip right off. After spitting it out along with a gallon of semen, the alicorn addressed her disgruntled student, "Twilight, remember what you promised me! Are you going to run from your shadow, or are you going to fight it?"

Getting up and wiping away her tears, the filly stated, "I am, but I am not going to do it alone!" She then lit up her horn and let out a blast so powerful that it shattered the five Tenebras to bits and singed all of the tentacles.

Moments later, her five friends and the princesses were free. Twilight Sparkle was no longer a little filly, but back to her old self again. With a look of extreme determination on her face, she loudly stated, "Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Celestia, I need your help. I was foolish and afraid. I thought I had to face this demon alone, else he would never go away ... but I am never alone. I always have my family besides me, I always have my teachers and … I always have my friends. I cannot beat him by myself, so that is why I ask all of you: will you please help me fight him? Will you please help me escape the darkness?"

Smiling back at the purple unicorn, all of the other mares responded in unison, "We thought you'd never ask!" The dream warriors then rushed towards the king of shadows.

Celestia flew up towards the heavens, lifted her hooves and lowered her head, pointing her horn towards the tyrant. Suddenly, the dark skies were torn open and a massive solar beam flung down, hitting the monarch, singing his flesh, causing him to scream in pain.

Upset, the foul stallion summoned a legion of crystal ponies, armed to the teeth, ready to do his bidding.

Unimpressed, Luna went in front of them and simply clapped her front hooves together. She then just stood still, smiling defiantly. As the army rushed towards her, the ground started to shake and moments later the entire Moon came hurdling down, crushing all of Sombra's army.

Cadence used her magic and summoned the Crystal Heart. Focusing her energy through the relic, she created a prismatic burst which flew towards Sombra's foul shadow, causing it to cringe with pain as it slowly faded away.

Foaming at the mouth with anger, the black stallion lifted his claw and swung it towards the alicorn, only to be interrupted by a swift punch to his giant snout. Looking in front of him, he noticed Rainbow Dash staring at him with defiance.

Donning a cocky smile, the blue mare said, "Think you can make me scream now?"

Irritated, the monarch flung his metal claw in her direction, but the pegasus disappeared in an instant, leaving a sonic rainbom trail behind her. In the following moments, she flew passed the tyrant at immeasurable speed, swiftly punching him as she easily avoided his blows.

Applejack ran behind the corrupted unicorn and used her lasso to bind his serpent tail. Tugging hard on the rope, she tore it right off, causing the king to howl with gripe.

Not giving Sombra time to recover, Pinkie Pie lunged at him and bit his leg, tearing a portion of his flesh clean off his bone. With a wicked smile, the earth pony commented, "You taste even worse than you govern!"

With fury burning in his eyes, the despot hoped to use his sorcery to strike the rambunctious ponies down, but felt a sudden itch all over his lower body. Looking down, he saw Fluttershy had convinced a huge wave of termites to crawl up his legs and bite him, causing the stallion to shake wildly to get them off.

Seeing her opening, Rarity lit up her horn and fired at the exposed region between the tyrant's legs, damaging his pride. With a satisfactory grin on her face, the white unicorn commented, "How do you like my skills now?"

Grinding his teeth and gazing with hatred at the purple mare, the king fired a massive abyssal lightning bolt towards her. Before she could react, Twilight noticed that the old pony jumped in front of her and deflected the projectile with his cane.

Impressed by the display of courage, the studious mare shed a tear of joy as she whispered to herself, "Not all stallions are evil."

Feeling hope once again shining brightly in her heart, Twilight launched a colossal blast at the tyrant, which shattered his giant form, reverting him back to his regular size.

No longer afraid, she approached him and gazed directly into his eyes. With a big defiant smile on her face, the purple unicorn pointed her hoof towards Sombra and exclaimed, "You asked me what the free ponies of the world have to say? I could always hear their voices but, because I was afraid, I chose to ignore the good things and focus on the bad. But I am scared NO LONGER. Listen to the song of freedom!"

Suddenly, the voice of the crowd became louder and louder as they cheered for their heroine and expressed resentment towards the tyrant, "We will never be your slaves again Sombra … I would rather die a free pony than live a life in chains … Thank you for showing us there is a better way … The darkness always fades before the light!"

Laughing arrogantly, the black stallion got up and addressed the young mare, "You think you have won? I will be here again tomorrow night, and the night after that. I will never go away, because no matter what you do, I will ALWAYS be your first time!"

Keeping the same proud smile on her face, Twilight Sparkle replied, "Yes, that is true. But I just have to look on the bright side: no matter how bad at sex a stallion will ever be, he will still be better than you. And feel free to come tomorrow night as well, I will just defeat you again. I do not fear you anymore ... it is you who should fear me! I will keep the promise which I made after you raped me, that I guarantee! I shall think of you as dead, until I make you so, and then I shall think of you no longer!"

Lunging at the mare, the monarch shouted, "I am king of the Crystal Empire, lord of the shadows, commander of the army or darkness, I …"

Not allowing the stallion to finish his threat, Twilight lit up her horn and said, "You are just a bully with a crown on his head!"

After that she blasted the monarch with all of her might, making him scream with agony as he shattered into millions of dark crystal pieces. The only thing which remained was his still beating black heart, which fell onto the ground.

Gazing down upon it, Twilight lifted her hoof and said, "Now I know this is a dream. In reality, you don't have a heart," and proceeded to step over it, smashing it to bits.

Suddenly, the darkness was lifted and the land around the purple unicorn became green again. The sun shone brightly in the sky and she could hear the gentle laughter of fillies and colts.

She looked around and saw her five friends and the alicorn princesses staring back at her, with big smiles on all of their faces.

Sighing with relief, the purple unicorn said, "It's over … it's finally over. Thank you girls, I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks for remembering to be there for me, even though I had forgotten that you were."

Shedding tears of joy, all the mares shared a big group hug.

A few seconds later, her friends, the princesses and all the other ponies were gone, as Twilight's nightmare was coming to an end.
Looking up towards the bright blue sky with unparalleled joy, the mare took a deep breath and smiled.

Lifting her hoof, she said to herself, "There's still one thing I've gotta do!" Moving back towards the place where the crowd had been, she noticed everypony was gone, except for the elder stallion. He was sitting there, still waiting for the mare to return.

Hugging her old friend dearly, Twilight Sparkle summoned three snow cones and handed them to the stallion, saying "Here you go. I believe I owed you these! Thank you for helping me in my darkest of times."

Chuckling, the old pony refused to accept the gift and said, "Keep them. That way I will have a reason to come back!"

Laughing happily, the unicorn waved goodbye to her friend, who disappeared into thin air.

Twilight Sparkle awoke from her dream.

For the first time since she had returned to Ponyville, the mare had had a good night's sleep and felt rested.

Smiling warmly, she exclaimed, "So ends the nightmare!"

After stepping out of the bed, she looked up towards the ceiling and said, "Thank you Princess Celestia. Thank you for everything!"

The unicorn then immediately rushed into the bathroom and took a nice hot shower.

Downstairs, Spike was busy making breakfast, when he saw the purple mare walk in with a big smile on her face, a sight he hadn't witnessed in weeks.

Donning a merry grin, the dragon commented, "Boy Twilight, you sure look happy this morning!"

Sitting down at the table, the mare replied, "Good morning Spike. I am happy!"

Barely able to believe what he was hearing, the dragon continued, "Really? I mean … that's great. Did something special happen last night? Did you make some progress on the spell?"

Chuckling, the unicorn responded, "Let's just say, I have all the magic I need … and that's the magic of friendship!"

With a puzzled look on his face, Spike inquired, "But I heard screaming. Did you have a bad dream again?"

Grinning confidently, the purple pony stated, "I did ... until an old friend reminded me of something."

Scratching his head, the dragon came forth with the food and confessed, "Twilight, I have no idea what you're talking about … but I am sure glad that you're back to your old cheerful self!"

After that night, Twilight Sparkle managed to get over her fears. She had done it, she had escaped the prison of her own imagination.

No longer being afraid or paranoid, she stopped feeling nervous around stallions and strangers.

That very afternoon, she went to her house in Canterlot and made amends with her family, apologizing for the way she had behaved in the past few weeks. However, she didn't tell her parents, or anyone else besides Princess Celestia, what King Sombra had done to her while she had been captive.

Grateful to have such wonderful friends, the mare started going out and socializing once again, but also continued her diligent studies, enjoying life just as she had before the tragic incident.

In time, she would also date handsome stallions and gallant gentlecolts, sharing her bed with those she deemed worthy.

Regardless of what her future would hold, one thing was clear: after that night, the monstrous black unicorn haunted her dreams no longer.

Author's Note

Just to be clear, the dream scenes are all happening inside Twilight's mind. Sombra or Luna's magic had nothing to do with what the purple unicorn imagined.

This chapter was initially supposed to be just several paragraphs at the end of the previous one, but due to extremely good suggestions from readers (especially regarding the desire to have an interaction between the king and the princesses), I developed the nightmares and ended up having a whole new chapter to the story.
