Author's Note

Yeah it was just a matter of time before Burning Star dived into this world.

But this Time, he's going to be chasing King Sombra again... to Earth!

Will Burning Star survive in high school again, even though he is much older?!

Chapter 1: Looking Into a Mirror, seeing Someone Else...

(Castle Nevermore, King Sombra's Throne Room)

Castle Nevermore was never a pleasant place, with the ominous sound of the northern winds in the tallest towers, and the creaking of the floorboards.

Burning Star walked the decaying hallways, it had been a year since the Daybreaker incident, a year since the father figure he both loved and hated died, And he still felt the sting of guilt from it even though it was not his fault.

Burning Star picked up a photograph, it was of him and King Sombra standing over Burning Star's first dragon killed, he was smiling and Burning Star was smiling in the photo as well.

Burning Star shook his head, he was a king now, he had to put the past behind him, Queen Twilight Sparkle's foals were here, and he needed to be a father figure to his little Prince and Princess. He had read all the books on parenting, he even went to Shining Armor and Princess Cadence for advice, and they all said to him the same exact advice

Burning Star said out loud, knowing he was alone, "do what you think is right Burning Star. It's not our decision, it is yours."

Burning Star turned his eyes upward as he looked upon the torn banner of King Sombra's crest hung limp above the shattered crystal throne that his former mentor/father figure sat.

Burning Star looked downwards at his hooves, he felt as if he should had been sent to Tartarus alongside his former mentor, he was just as guilty of spreading death and conquering villages.

He sighed, "I wish I could have said goodbye to him... but I can't now... I'm king."

Burning Star heard a familiar voice in his head, "Yes you are, and you're doing a pretty great job managing this world..."

Burning Star instantly recognized that voice, "King Sombra! Where are you?!"

A deep laugh echoed through the empty halls of the castle as a plume of smoke erupted from the throne, and King Sombra reappeared!

Burning Star rolled his eyes, before saying "Why can't you just accept death King Sombra?! It's not so bad! You get to reflect on your past and look on towards your legacy... or do you just return again and again to annoy me?"

King Sombra laughed, "Im just checking on my former student. But, I'm done with this world, I've found a new one to rule... screw this world."

King Sombra generated a hologram of a planet covered in blue and green, he said to Burning Star, "This is Earth... a world without the Elements of Harmony, a world without Celestia and Luna, a world fit for me to take over! After all, no one can stand up to my dark magic!"

Burning Star chuckled, "You never change do you?"

King Sombra laughed and stood in front of Burning Star, "Nope. And why would I? Being evil is so much fun, you should try it sometimes... you would love it..."

Burning Star narrowed his eyes, growling out a response "Sorry Sombra, but I'm not going to fall for your little tricks."

King Sombra looked disappointed, "that was a legitimate offer... I wasn't going to trick you at all."

Suddenly King Sombra's eyes filled with Dark Magic and he shot a bolt of lightning at Burning Star, who retaliated with a bolt of red lightning. The two attacks collided, leaving a giant cloud of smoke.

Burning Star took to the air in an attempt to get a better view on his foe, he shouted "Ha! Nice try Sombra, but if you think that a simple could of smoke is going to hide you..."

Burning Star flapped his wings, creating a gust of wind to blow the smoke away, "then you are..." he stopped mid sentence, King Sombra had disappeared!

He facehoofed, "Damn. Where did he go?" A thought popped into his head that sent shivers down his spine. King Sombra was going to escape to earth! That's why he needed the smoke cover from the collision of both attacks.

He flew out the broken wall heading towards Canterlot. "You are not getting away this time Sombra, I won't let you terrorize that world."

(Canterlot Castle, Magic Mirror Room)

King Sombra teleported to the mirror room, he knew that this would be his greatest victory yet. By faking his death and escaping to this world called "earth", he could rule there with an iron hoof.

But the second he stepped near the mirror, Somepony tackled him to the floor, knocking him away from the gateway to HIS new empire.

King Sombra looked up to see a earth pony towering over him, he had to shuffle back to see his massive form. The earth pony said, "Not gonna happen Sombra! Burning Star told me about you and your tendencies to return from the dead."

King Sombra looked upon the earth pony, he was HUGE, probably larger than Celestia. He was covered in thick gray fur which hid powerful muscles, his coal black mane was tied in dreadlocks to keep it out of his eyes, and his dark brown eyes stared into King Sombra's glowing green ones.

King Sombra asked the obvious question, "Who the hell are you?"

The Earth pony pounded the floor, canusibg the room to violently shake as he said, "I'm Iron Horse. Personal Guard to King Dawn Burning Star, and you are going nowhere pal."

Burning Star landed in the mirror room with a loud bang and said, "Stop right there Sombra!" He noticed Iron Horse and said to him, "thanks for holding him off buddy."

Iron Horse nodded, "No problem Burning Star, just doing my job."

King Sombra laughed, "So, you two are going to stop me? Oh please! I've fought hundreds of ponies such as you and I've killed hundreds." He ignited his horn, "You will be no different! I will kill the both of you and rule that world."

Burning Star slammed his hooves down, seeming almost frustrated "NO! You will never rule Earth, or any world ever again! I will not sit idly by as you take it over."

Iron Horse snorted, "Yeah! Earth is worth protecting, besides it's already got enough problems..."

King Sombra raised and eyebrow, "You seem very defensive of this Earth even though you've never been there. What's the deal?"

The pair of heroes said, "That is none of your business Sombra! Now prepare for another defeat."

King Sombra transformed into his shadow form and rushed the two, saying "SO BE IT! DIE!"

Burning Star put up a shield around him and Iron Horse to block King Sombra's attack, but he slipped behind them and dived headfirst towards the mirror, which opened like a vortex.

Iron Horse noticed first and grabbed King Sombra's legs, Burning Star grabbed Iron Horse's legs and used his magic to tether the pair of them to the wall.

But, the tether snapped and King Sombra, Burning Star, and Iron Horse into the mirror.

Burning Star shouted as he fell into the mirror portal, flailing his hooves and wings

"HERE WE GO AGAIN!"

The trio of ponies were sucked into the mirror.

Then everything went white!
