Vanhoover here I go!, maybe not.. - E

Previous Chapter

Twelve hours passed, Sombra decided to go to the train station to shorten his trip. The princesses were alert during all that time, waiting for Sombra to attack, but he never showed up.

"I think he's not coming," Celestia said with tired eyes.

"What is he planning?. I don't understand," muttered Luna, letting out to yawn.

"This must be his plan, that must be his plan, he's trying to tired us, and then attack!" exclaimed Shining, struggling against his tired body.

"Then, he's up for a surprise! You will not defeat us, Sombra!" exclaimed Luna, in a battle pose.


Meanwhile, on the train to Vanhoover, Sombra was in one of the train cabins. With a glass of wine, eating bread with a variety of cheeses, with classical music in the background.

"How lucky am I? for some reason, somepony could not leave today, and they gave me their ticket, and it was a first-class ticket!" exclaimed Sombra as he poured himself another glass of wine.

"Do you want something anything else, sir?" asked the train butler Sebastian.

"If you're so kind as to bring a couple of desserts, I'd be happy," Sombra replied with a smile.

"As you wish, I'll be back," with that Sebastian left the train cabin.

While he was eating, Sombra heard that the next stop was in thirty minutes.

"Next stop, Vanhoover."

"Thirty minutes, I think it gives enough time, to eat the desserts Sebastian is bringing," whispered Sombra to himself.

"Sir, I brought you the three best desserts, on the train, a chocolate shuffle, a Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence, and an apple pie," Sebastian said as he levitated desserts to the table.

"Thanks Sebastian, now, if you'll excuse me, I have thirty minutes to finish this, so there's no time to waste!" exclaimed Sombra, as he began to demolish, the desserts on his table.


After twenty-eight minutes of dessert annihilation, the train stopped at the Vanhoover station.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Sebastian." Sombra started to get up to leave, but Sebastian stopped him.

"Sir, you forgot to pay the bill," Sebastian said, handing him the bill.

6 Wines 20000 Bits.
1 Cheeses 1000 Bits.
1 Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence 15000 Bits.
1 Chocolate Shuffle 2500 Bits.
1 Apple Pie 750 Bits.
4 Deluxe Hay-Burgers 2500 bits

Butler service/tip 10500 Bits

Total 52,250 Bits.

"Oh, of course, allow me to look for my wallet in my suitcase, wait for me here. I'll be right back." Sombra replied calmly.

"As you wish, sir," Sebastian began to clean up the area.

As soon as Sombra managed to get out of Sebastian's field of vision, he galloped as fast as he could.

"52,250 BITS !, If I take as reference what I've seen in the series, that's more than I would do in four years working on a farm!" exclaimed Sombra as he galloped.

"Stop that pony! It's a thief!" exclaimed Sebastian, pointing to Sombra.

"Fuck you, Sebastian! Fifty-two thousand two hundred fifty bits my flank!" shouted Sombra, "Eat my Flank! Sebastian!."


Sombra had escaped, Sebastian and train staff chased him to Vanhoover, this achievement to hide, but this incident had ruined his plan to hide in Vanhoover.

"Alright, relax... there is no way the harmony thugs will hear about this, I still have time to escape this city" muttered Sombra to himself behind a dumpster, hiding from the police and the angry train staff.

He started thinking how to escape, teleportation was an option, but it only worked with places he had already been, and he didn't want to go back to the crystal empire, maybe transformation magic, Sombra only had one spell in transformation magic, and it was to transform into shadows.

'It's worth a shot at the very least...' thought Sombra casting the spell, turning his entire body into shadows.


Meanwhile, God was eating popcorn while enjoying Sombra's bad luck, everything was going according to the grand plan, the bears where dead, Sombra was something it would entertain him for a while, and Karen was demoted to the lady that cleans his cat litter.

"Oh, this is fantastic! It's just superb!" said God still in cat form, "I wonder how long would take before the ponies capture him. I can't wait!"


Sombra had escaped from Vanhoover, but unfortunately, hundreds of ponies had seen the cloud of shadows leaving the city, and the first thing they did was call the royal guard who communicated with the princesses.

"It seems Sombra was in Vanhoover," said Celestia with a concerned look on her face.

"We have to move sister! we have to eliminate this fiend!" shouted Luna while putting her battle armor.

"I'll go with you two princesses, I have a score to settle with him," said Shining Armor with determination.

"We need the elements with us if Sombra has a plan it must be the evilest plan ever, he's clearly playing with us," said Celestia with a sad expression, "I still can't understand, I didn't see the same Sombra on his eyes!."

"Who knows what his master plan is, but! We will stop him!" shouted Luna hugging her sister with a wing, "Huzzah! FOR HONOR AND GLORY!"


Meanwhile, outside a small town, there was Sombraa, sitting next to a tree, eating a grapefruit that he found along the way.

"Ok, I have no idea what to do... I have no plan whatsoever," said Sombra, "Everyone wants a piece of my flank and not in a good way..."

While Sombra was thinking what to do, a creature approached him, touching him. This caused Sombra to jump out of fear, turning around to see what touched him, he started to mentally beg for the mysterious creature to not be a spider, turning around he saw someone he knew, or the be precise someone he recognized, it was Tirek.

“I knew you I recognize you from somewhere, Oh great King Sombra,” Tirek said bowing to him with a smile, Tirek looked super thin and old, he looked like a raisin with intelligence.

'Really... so I'm the idiot he will try to manipulate?.' Sombra thought.

"I have a proposition for you, if we work together we could rule this land!." said Tirek with an evil smile. "I just need your help to absorb the magic of everypony.."

"And after you get strong enough you'll get my magic..." commented Sombra, "Yeah ill have to pass, but I will help your ass back to Tartarus, how does that sound?"

Tirek tried to run away and succeeded to get twenty steps away just to be knocked out by a stone that Sombre grabbed with his magic and threw at him. “That was sad on many levels,”

'Well, that's one major villain down...' thought Sombra levitating the centaur with his magic.
