At the worst possible time
Author's Note
This stupid little thing was made purely for fun, so don't really expect too much from it.
Enjoy anyway and let me know what you think.
At the worst possible time
The dark clouds blocked out the suns rays and snow fell down harshly on the Crystal Empire. The citizens either frozen or huddled together in the centre of the city. Cadence and Shining Armour lay unconscious in the throne room of the castle, their horns coveted in the same black crystals that surrounded them.
Twilight and her friends slowly backed away in fear as the monster made of black mist stared them down with his haunting, glowing green eyes. King Sombra smiled evilly as he watched them back up against a wall, the Pegasus wings frozen to their sides, the unicorn horns covered and crystal and the earth ponies strength sapped by the cold and constant running. Twilight looked desperately for a solution and prayed that her teacher would come to her rescue. The crystal heart floating just under the being made of mist in a taunting position.
"Well well well, isn't this a turn of events?" Sombra hissed wickedly. "For a moment, I actually thought you'd gotten the better of me." He finished with a maniacal laugh as he looked to the crystal heart. "Look at it, so close, but so far away. This would have sent me back to an icy grave, but thanks to your overconfidence I was able to predict what you would do next, and that seems to have been your downfall."
Twilight glared at the villian and attempted to cast a spell, but was unable to. She just kept trying and failing, over and over until Applejack placed a hoof on her shoulder and shook her head in despair. The unicorn sighed and the group wrapped their hooves around each other, praying for something to save them.
"Now, I will finish you once and for a-" Sombra was cut off mid sentence as he heard the sound of a young stallion calling out to him.
"Hey Sombro?! Is that you dude?!"
Sombras pupils shrank in horror. "Oh dear Solaris no..." He whispered in terror.
"It is you! Man, you are really rockin' that misty spell whatever!" The obnoxious voice called again. The mane six looked over to the right to see a tall, thin stallion with light grey fur and a mane similar to Sombra's, only spiked and less mist-like. He wore a pair of white aviators and a red, puffy hoodie with a backwards red cap on his head.
"Oh for the love of...hello Sombrad..." Sombra groaned as he rubbed his face in annoyance with a hoof made of mist.
"Sup big bro? You still tryin' ta take over this place or somethin'? Rad." The young stallion now known as Sombrad greeted with a smile as he looked around. "Man, looks like these ponies really know how to chill."
Sombra facehoofed and groaned. Out of the corner of his eye he caught the ponies trying to sneak away. He growled and created crystals to block their path. "Oh no I ain't done with you lot yet!"
Sombrad looked to the mares and lifted his glasses while smirking. "Well well, you still tryin' ta build that harem of yours, cause these are some fine lookin' mares bro, I'm a little jealous."
"What?! No! They're my prisoners! And you know that was just a phase!" Sombra barked in embarrassment. "Why are you even here?!"
"Well, mom and dad found out you finally got outta prison and wanted me to pick you up to take you back." Sombrad explained while winking to the mares, only to be met with disapproving stares by everyone but Pinkie who winked back.
"For the last time! I moved out of mom and dads centuries before I got banished to the ice! They know this!" Sombra took in a deep breath and began counting to ten.
"Yeah well, mom and dad don't really trust you on your own anymore so they want you to go live with them until you can get an actual job or whatever. I wasn't really listening, I was more focused on that mare that lives down the street, and she was looking fine in that tennis outfit!" Sombrad wiped his brow before adjusting his cap. "I know you don't like them and all, but come on it'll be fun, we can watch movies together-"
"What the Tartarus is a movie?!"
"-we can go bowling with dad-"
"What with dad?"
"-and best of all, we can be roomies!"
Sombra's left eye twitched, the thought of having to share any kind of space with the hellish being known as his younger brother was almost enough to drive him to madness. He took in a breath and focused on the mares. "Let it go Sombra, you've got shit to do..." He glared at the mares and focused his energy on his horn, building up a huge blast of dark crystals.
"Hey man, check it out, yellow snow! Remember when we used to throw these things at those kids by the lake?!" Sombrad exclaimed as he tried to get his bothers attention.
Sombra ignored him and moved closer to the shivering mares.
"Oh yeah, I've got go show you some of my new skateboard tricks! You'll love these dude, it's so awesome you should try!"
Sombra's eye twitched again as he was ready to fire.
"Hey! Sombro, remember when you used to use your shadow whatever to spy on the mares in the bathhouses?! That was a riot, you really where a player back then dude!"
Sombra finally snapped back. "I told you! IT, WAS, A, PHASE!!! NOW JUST SHUT UP FOR ONE DAMN MINUTE AND LET ME KILL THESE FIVE ANNOYING PONIES!!!" Sombra's expression went blank. "Wait...five?"
He turned around and saw that Rainbow Dash was gone, and so was the crystal heart.
"Oh you have got to be-" A bright light shine from the centre of the Crystal Empire as a wave of light blue energy swept across the city. Sombra and Sombrad where thrown out towards the frozen tundras as a large crack in the ice opened up and closed once the fell in.
Deep below the ice, the voice of Sombrad was heard. "Well, guess this means we're rooming now! Wanna play charades?!"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UUUUUPPPP!!!"
