War for Equestria

It has been five years since Sombra returned. It was a sudden change for the once peaceful land of Equestria. During the first few months of his new reign, he sought vengeance upon those who had tried to keep him at bay.

The first to fall was Princess Celestia. She had fought hard, but in the end Sombra got the better of her. Shortly after, Princess Luna fell to his dark magic.

With the princesses of sun and moon gone, the world of Equestria was bathed in a sort of limbo between day and night. The sun never fully rising and the moon never truly issuing night.

Several months went by as a moderate army of resistance fighters was formed, lead by Celestia's heir. He lead the resistance fighters to several victories, but unfortunately, fate had other plans for the son of Celestia.

During a frontal assault on Sombra's black castle, he made the mistake of getting cocky. He attempted to take on the king of darkness alone. With one near fatal blast of Sombra's dark energy, he was driven mad and his body broken. With the help of a newly developed stealth technology, the resistance fighters were able to rescue their injured leader and safely return him to their base.

Without proper technology to mend his broken mind, they had no choice but to place him in a form of hyper sleep after repairing his broken body. Time went on, both sides having victories.

The princess of love, Mi Amore Cadenza, was the next to fall to Sombra's blade. He made an example of her by displaying her severed head on a pike outside his black castle. This angered her newly wed husband and caused him to make the fatal mistake of charging right into a trap set by the dark king himself.

After a short battle, Prince Shining Armor was killed. His head joined his bride's outside Sombra's black castle. With Celestia's heir still out of commission, this left one pony to lead the resistance, Princess Twilight Sparkle. It wasn't long before she too fell to Sombra's dark ways. The loss their last princess was a huge hit on the moral of the resistance fighters. Many left and joined Sombra's mind controlled army willingly, seeing no other alternative.

This turn of events dwindled the resistance's already low numbers. The few scientists that had remained worked day and night to attempt to restore the mind of Celestia's lost heir and craft artificial limbs for those who were injured during battle. Even with their newest leader, Spitfire, the future and hope for Equestria looks grim...
