Travis rose from his bed yet again for the new day. Today he would finally invade the Crystal Empire. Yesterday he trained until it was night again. While he was training, he discovered he had various other abilities and couldn't wait to try them out on whoever stood in his way. Travis decided that he needed a change of clothes and since he had the power to summon anything he wanted, he would summon his own clothes. The clothes he summoned looked like the picture below.

Travis left his old clothes in a closet and put on his new clothes. He then summoned a belt with a sheathe and put it on too. He then summoned a small version of Soul Edge and put it in the belt's sheathe. The new Soul Edge looked like the image below.

Travis had everything he needed to be ready for the invasion and he was feeling very confident. He had everything planned out and his plan was to go on ahead of his invasion force and kill everyone that got in his way stealthfully until he found the rulers of the Crystal Empire. He would kill the rulers himself and claim the empire as his own. When Travis revealed his plan to his minions and advisor, they roared with excitement and wished their new leader the best of luck but he didn't need luck, only power and he had it. Travis also read the spell book he stole and he found a spell that could break all seals. When he got to the sealed exit of Tartarus, he chanted the words that was required to cast the spell and he broke the seal. Once again Travis's followers were excited and cheered for Travis. Travis and his army then left Tartarus to conquer the Crystal Empire.
Crystal Empire
It took Travis and his army many hours to reach their intended destination and it was conveniently nightfall when they arrived near the Crystal Empire. The plan worked smoothly. Travis killed all the guards at the front gate by chopping their heads off and he made sure they didn't make a sound. When Travis's army arrived at the Crystal Empire's Castle, all hell broke loose when Travis ordered his army to attack. Travis then used instant transmission to get in the castle. A guard spotted Travis and said, "Halt creature, in the name of the Crystal Empire!" Travis responded by dashing in front of the guard and slamming him on the ground. Travis then proceeded to repeatedly stomp on the guard's head until it was a mushy and gory mess. Other guards saw Travis and started rushing towards him and he then pulled out his revolver. Travis then proceeded to shoot all the guards in the head in rapid and deadly succession. By the time he got to the throne room, he had littered the halls with corpses and body parts.
When Travis entered the throne room, he saw Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. How he knew about them was because of Lucifer. Shining Armor had an angry look and said, "Who are you and why are you covered in blood?!" Princess Cadence however, had a nauseous look when Shining Armor mentioned blood.
Travis had a smirk on his face and said, "My name is Travis and why I'm covered in blood is because I had to kill about fifty to a hundred guards on my way here. I lost count at fifty."
Cadence now had an angry look and Shining Armor said, "How dare you slaughter our subjects you sadistic and bloodthirsty monster! You will pay!"
Cadence then said, "Where is your heart you foul creature?! I only feel hatred, pride, and greed coming from you."
"Sorry but I don't have a heart anymore." said Travis
"Then you will answer for your crimes against Equestria!" shouted Shining Armor.
Shining Armor then charged at Travis with a sword that he levitated with magic. Travis then thought, "This is going to be easy. Have fun in hell you pansy." When Shining Armor swung his sword at Travis, Travis blocked with Soul Edge and pushed hard enough to snap Shining's sword in two. When his sword shattered, Shining Armor had a look of fear as Travis swung Soul Edge at him. He tried to block Travis's attack with his magic but he failed. Travis had successfully cut Shining Armor's head clean off and from the stump where Shining's head used to be, it began to squirt a geyser of blood.
Princess Cadence then began to cry when Shining Armor was killed and yelled, "SHINING!!!!!" She then began to sob.
Travis walked up to Cadence and said, "Don't worry, you'll see him again soon in hell."
Cadence had bloodshot eyes from the crying. She looked at Travis with anger in her eyes and said, "How could you, we did nothing to you. Why would you kill us?"
Travis then said in an emotionless tone, "Simple, I need more power and I want to conquer this world and since you are the ruler of this empire, I needed to kill you and everyone else that rules this empire to conquer it so I can be one step closer to ruling Equestria and eventually the world."
"You sadistic and power hungry monster, you killed my husband and now your going to kill me just to rule Equestria!?" said Cadence
"Yes and after I kill you, I'll kill your child, was her name Flurry Heart?" Said Travis
"Don't you dare touch my foal, she's too young!" cried Cadence
"Requiescat in pace." said Travis.
"Wait wh-" said Cadence before she was interrupted by Soul Edge stabbing her head.
After Travis was done cutting off Cadence's head and putting it in a satchel he found on a dead body, he looked for Flurry Heart. He eventually found her room. When Travis snuck up in front of Flurry Heart's crib, he thought, "May you see your father and mother again soon. I'm sorry but I can't risk you escaping so you can try and get revenge on me when you get older." Travis then stabbed Flurry Heart with Soul Edge and walked out of the castle. When Travis walked out of the castle, he saw Lucifer and Lucifer said, "We have won my lord and we only suffered five casualties on our side."
"Good work Lucifer, I knew I could trust you and you deserve a reward." said Travis.
"What kind of reward?" asked Lucifer.
"Tomorrow you will have a paid day off." said Travis.
"Thank you Lord Travis. I will make the best of my off time." said Lucifer
"Oh yeah and before you take your day off, I want you to send a message that the leaders of the Crystal Empire are dead." said Travis.
"Of course Lord Travis, I will send the message on Equestrias newspapers." said Lucifer
Travis then took out Cadence's head out of his satchel and gave it to Lucifer. He then said, "Make sure you get a good photo of this head and put it on the cover of the newspapers. I will inform the citizens of their new ruler."
"Of course my lord, I will do what you commanded immediately." said Lucifer as he walked off.
Travis then went into the middle of the city where his minions have gathered the citizens. The citizens all had looks of fear, anger, and sadness. Travis then said in a loud voice for everyone to hear, "I have killed Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart! Now all of you may be sad but now you have a stronger and better leader." After he said his speech, Travis could hear many citizens crying and saying things such as, "You monster! Murderer! Tyrant! Spawn of Tartarus!" Travis then ordered his minions to escort the citizens to their homes. When everyone was at their home, Travis went back to the castle and went into one of it's bedrooms. He then wrote a letter to Twilight Sparkle a letter that said:
Dear Twilight
I killed Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Flurry Heart. Soon everyone you know and love will be dead and you won't be there to stop me.
Signed by: Travis
Travis then sent the letter with a spell he read that can teleport anything to anywhere he wanted. He then layed in his new bed after he used a spell to get the blood off of his clothes and slept.
Ponyville
As Twilight Sparkle was getting ready for bed, a letter was mysteriously teleported in front of her. She picked up and it said, "To Twilight Sparkle." She wondered who would send her a letter so late but decided to open it. When she read the contents of the letter, she began to tear up and screamed, "NOOOOO!!!"
Locals say that the only thing they heard on that silent night was the sound of Twilight's cries.
Author's Note
Oh shit. Travis just conquered the Crystal Empire and played a cruel and sick joke. What do you think will happen now?
