"OH, YES! FUCK! SLAM ME HARDER! PLEASE! PLEEEASE!"

"Ugh! Yeah, take it you back alleyway, bitch!"

"Hey! Less talking, more sucking! Get that dick back in there!"

"MAAAGHHFFTNPH~!"

'How long has this been going on?'

Shining had lost count how much time had past since he began watching the public display of his wife got skewered like a pig. Ever since the guard known as Equinox came in with a substantial fancy mirror, it felt like years had passed by, watching his wife get fucked over and over again. At first, he thought it was just some terrible joke Sombra made to try and get a rise out of him. Some illusion to milk further tears and sadness out of his filthy body. But Shining knew better. Sombra was a much crueler being then to just joke about torment.

Cadance was broken, according to the bat mare. Almost brain dead to the point that her mind couldn't function without anything phallic shape close by to try ad stick into her mouth. To put it simply, she was no longer mentally able to carry the duties a mother would need, all because Sombra had fucked her stupid. So it was decided that her growing baby wouldn't be the one to succeed Sombra.

Shining Armor didn't know what he found to be the most despicable. The fact that Sombra mentally damaged his wife by relentlessly raping her or that he threw her away after relentlessly raping her.

It didn't matter as it all leads to what Shining has been witnessing before him now; His poor wife defiled and skewered at the hands of Sombra's soldiers. Since the king had no more use for her, he figured the many stallions that lusted for their princess during her reign would crave to pull out their deepest fantasies. And judging by the crude language, smacking, and debaucherous evil taking place before him, he was more than correct.

It had been many weeks of being his prisoner. And through it all, Shining finally felt himself growing completely numb. Nothingness. He couldn't even shed a tear for Cadance as she was roughly shoved into the ground to take more of the guard's dick up her ass. There was only truth reflecting from the mirror. That the alicorn he loved and cherished with all his heart was gone; murdered the night Sombra suckered her in to see him. All that remained now was a battered, broken, cum stained husk.

"Don't feel so bad, Shining Armor. Your wife is in a much happier place!"

Ahh, right. Shining forgot he wasn't experiencing this horrible display of misogyny alone as Equinox was currently bathing him, washing away the dirt and shit off his once pristine alabaster coat. Over the time of her being his babysitter, he had come to learn that unlike the other guards who begrudgingly forced themselves to take care of him, she was oddly fascinated with him. Currently, she wore her stoic mask very well while rubbing the sponge over his legs, arms, abdomen, and his thighs. But it's when she got closer to his sheath that her eyes seemed to glow; making Shining grow somewhat uncomfortable upon feeling the bat mare stare point-blank at it; as if analyzing every feature and imagine the full length of it while scrubbing down to his balls.

"You should take a picture..." He muttered in a deep husky and sarcastic tone. "It'll last longer."

A crooked smile graced her lips; her mask was no longer needed.

"Ask more nicely, and I just might! Wouldn't that make you feel more proud~? To have someone massage your bruised little ego after having your wife defiled like this? Why don't you beg me too? Come on, tell me how badly you want me~" she snickered as the grip on his balls tightened and the scrubbing rougher as they pressed the sponge more into his sheath. It was all just talk, of course. Just words to try and rile him up as a grunt was the unicorn's only response to her. Once she finished cleaning up his sheath, she tossed the sponge into the bucket, grabbed a towel, and began drying him off, tapping his thigh to request he stood up. He obliged if only to speed up this process and not get the blunt end of her halberd though she'd probably just do it anyway.

He could knock her out. The small urge he felt to smash her head into the wall and break out of his cell was there. Then, he would sneak into Sombra's chambers and finally end the bastard's cruel reign, saving every pony and restoring everything to what it was. And restore his stolen glory.

... But it felt pointless. That's what this all was to him—useless dreaming for something that could never happen. Sombra had proven to be a much tougher and smarter opponent than he realized. He played into his hands the day he resurfaced and lost everything to him. What could he really do now with zero clothes, weapons, or magic to aid him. It would be suicide to act on these impulses.

"Heh, the look of turmoil on your face is invigorating," Equinox said as if to reaffirm his growing despair of the situation as she rose to clean up his wet arms and back. "Once you've given up resistance and accept this reality, the pain begins to hurt less. Hell, maybe you'll learn to enjoy life like this~! It's how I got into my ranks."

"If you're trying to cheer me up, It would help if you just kept quiet." He retorted. "I don't need the likes of you telling me there's nothing I can do--"

That earned him a quick smack to the face, his face flinching from the impact. "Not a wise thing to say to your superiors, Shining Armor! Not when all I was offering was a suggestion," She scoffed before resuming to dry him up. "There are two places you can be in this world. In here, sulking at how badly you got your sorry ass kicked and your wife cucked to death. Or out here, thriving in the pain and misery you causes others to feel that much better about yourself. Your choice~."

His eyes narrowed harshly at her as he rubbed his bruised cheek. "Why tell me any of this? What is it you have to gain?"

The bat mare would drop the towel before her eyes fell back to Shining's, his faded blues reflecting the intense glow of her yellow orbs. "Because there's no room for survivors here. Only scavengers. You have no idea at all how hard it was to prove myself stronger and more cunning than the average guard! And even then, it went nowhere. So know I live like this, taking the scraps of whatever lowlife I can just to keep living..."

"I'm not sure what you were expecting when you pledged alliance to Sombra and his..." But his statement was cut short upon the laughter that escaped her throat. Her eyes were now piercing through his very soul as her smile grew more unhinged.

"Hahaha... I was referring to when I pledged alliance with you~!"

His eyes widened at this statement as confusion was written plain on his face.

"W-With me?"

"Oh, yes! You don't remember me, but I was apart of your legion of guards. You even smiled and spoke with me a couple of times as I saluted. But no matter how hard I worked or tried to stand out, You never noticed me. No promotion. No recognition. Nothing!" She spat out that last word with venom as her hand clamped around his throat, making him gasped and choke. Her face was now too close to him to be called comfortable.

"After Sombra had returned and defeated you, he and his forces came crashing in, demanding the princess and her daughter. And, well, eheh~! I couldn't possibly pass up the glorious opportunity. To give my comrades a little help in accepting the coming of a new era~!"

"T-Traitor!" Shining gasped in a weak breath before she slammed his head roughly into the back wall.

"Yes... I betrayed them! AND FOR THAT, I WAS REWARDED!!!" She laughed. "I handed your darling wife and daughter over to Sombra. And for my betrayal, he gave me a home, a place in his force, and a head position! And now...~." She leered, leaning in to give a long slow lick of his cheek; the very same she smacked a moment ago, making him quiver as he felt her iron-clad body press into his bare flesh. "My lord was gracious enough to give me the very stallion I idolized. The stallion who thought little of me. Who gave me no recognition. This stallion right now, weeping pathetically and trying so hard to deny the reality of his situation~! Oh, but rest assured, Shining Armor. I, and most certainly Sombra, have many methods to cut deeply into your skin~" Her free hand would lightly feel up his groin before trailing up his abs and well-toned chest.

"Ohh~ I want to do so many things to you~" She mused, her heavy breath brushing his face. "Hurt you, scrape you, cut you open, kick you so hard in the balls, you'll vomit! Mmm, get you drunk off my pussy and tease you endlessly until you're practically begging me to grace your dick with the lips of my cunt!" She moaned while grinding her crotch guard roughly into his cock, making him groan in pain. "And all you can do about it is take it with a sad, pathetic smile on your face~" She crackled madly.

"You're out of your mind!" He growled, trying to push her off him with little luck. "I know that sadistic tyrant. Sombra wouldn't dare waste a servant to torture and humiliate his foes. Especially not to an unhinged depraved lunatic like y--" But his sentence was cut short by a finger as she shook her head, silencing him.

"What Sombra doesn't know won't hurt him... or me~! Whatever happens in this chamber, stays in this chamber. Besides, I'm very confident you couldn't rat me out. You have no one here to plead for help. Unless, of course, you'll go tell dear old Sombra about my plans for you throughout the week~?" She fluttered her eyes cooly to illustrate her point further. All Shining Armor could do was hold his glare and muster what little resistance he had left against the female perpetrator. She was right; he had no one here now. He had no idea where his sister, her friends, or even his family were. The coy smile on the bat mare's face would slowly disappear as she pulled away to look up at the clock with a sigh.

"Oh well... Guess all our fun together will have to wait. You're all cleaned up. And with good timing too! You have another visitor that just arrived. I'm letting her in now."

His expression grew worried at the implications as the mare walked out of the cage and locked it up. It could only be part of Sombra's scheme to get to him. Another pawn for him to use to against Shining to make him submit under his reign. Gripping the bars firmly, he mentally prepared himself, swearing not to allow himself to falter or continuing giving what that dark unicorn wanted. The moment whoever entered his prison, he would-

"Shining..?"

'That voice.'

So warm. So silky and sweet. The sound of someone wise and all caring. Only one mare alive could call for his name in such a tone.

"Oh, Shining... My poor baby boy. What have they done to you..?"

"Mother?!"

Indeed, there she was. A sad smile on her face with light blue eyes shimmering with tears. Her grey coat only brought out her maturity and grace as well as her pale white and violet striped mane. She wore what looked to be a magenta dress better fitted for a ballroom gown. She slowly walked towards his cage as he continued to stare at her in disbelief.

'Is this real? No, is this another trick?!' He questioned until he felt her small warm hands hold his cheeks in a tender touch before slowly pulling his head down into her chest, brushing through his messy wet mane. For the first time since waking up into his nightmare, he finally had a sense of safety being in his mother's embrace. He could almost close his eyes and openly sob at how happy he was to be with her again.

But that safety was quickly robbed by the worrying thought as he pulled away to stare up into Velvet's bright blue eyes. Only then would the horror of her visit begin to settle in his disruptive mind.

"M-Mom... Why are you here!?" he asked her. Her glance would turn away from his momentarily.

"I'm here under the request of Sombra... Ever since his reign, life in Ponyville has been significantly harder for your father and I. Sombra increased the taxes dramatically due to the damages and repairs needed for when Canterlot went to war. But as a token of good favor, he offered to send in military forces to help make up the damages in exchange for a novel about himself. Unfortunately, this is where your mother steps in to--"

"No! No no no no no, Mom, please! You have to listen to me!" He said, frantically shaking his head. "You need to get out of here! Get as far away from that psychopath. You and dad just need to move away, far from!"

"Honey, please."

"I'm serious! The last place you need to be is where this tyrant can cause harm to you. You need to--"

"Shining!" His mother rose her voice to silence his protests. "That's... not the only reason why I agreed. It's your sister as well."

"... Twily?"

"You don't know, do you?" she sighed, pain expressed clearly on her face as her hands held onto his in a stronghold, as if afraid to let them go. "Sombra plans to wed her very soon. I'm hoping to try and convince him not too."

Shining was left speechless. So this was what the king of all monsters planned. He figured his sister was alive somewhere, but the last place he ever wanted to be was right above his head, getting ready to be betrothed to the vile unicorn lord. She must have felt so terrified and miserable, knowing that was to be her fate.

"N-No..." His voice cracked as tears began to grace his cheeks out of his tired eyes. "He can't! He can't!"

"He will," Twilight Velvet said sadly. "And unless I can convince him to let her go, there's nothing any of us can do. Oh, Shining, I wish there was more your father or I could have done. If we hadn't just left everything to you and your sister."

"Don't say that, mom! It isn't your fault." He said to try and reassure her, a hand reaching up to touch her cheek. "You raised us to be good kids... We just didn't expect this to happen. But don't ever think this was your fault, you hear me?"

Before his mother could reply to her son's kind words, the door open and Equinox returned; her smile less than reassuring.

"Mrs. Velvet... The lord will see you now."

She gazed between the guard and her troubled son, his eyes begging her to refuse his invitation. To get out while she still can. She sighed before leaning in to kiss her son's forehead and hug him as close as she could with the metal bars separating them.

"Trust me, my dear Shining... I'm going to fix this mess. So, please. Just trust me," Velvet said, lingering in her embrace before she pulled away and slowly walked out the prison cell, leaving Shining alone to ponder and fear for the worse to come.

The notes of a piano playing did not delude Velvet from her goal as she entered the dining room. Like most of the castle, it was dark; the walls covered in colored crystals of various stones with only candlelight giving the room illumination. The table was long enough to host twelve people, yet only two plates of food lay present on opposite ends. A fountain flowing clear water stood behind the table as if to mask the sinister architecture with serenity. A figure was playing the melody from the piano, a classical song by the sounds of it.

Once by the table, the bat mare guard would bow her head before leaving Velvet to take a seat. Her stern glare fell to the only other person in the room.

"Where is his majesty?" She addressed with amusement. "I would think it poor manners to invite me and not show up for his guest."

The pianist stopped pressing his fingers into the keys before raising, a broad smile on his dark muzzle.

"As if I would stand up my special guess~" he retorted as Velvet's eyes fell on the tall frame of Sombra, dressed in a fitting vest and dress shirt with a frilly necktie. He would walk over to her before reaching her hand and bowing his head. "Nonetheless, It's a pleasure to have you present in my court, Mrs. Velvet." he greeted, kissing her knuckles before she could take her hand away, scoffing the dark unicorn.

"The pleasure is all mine, your highness..." She muttered while wiping her hand with a napkin before the both of them sat down before dining in on the food. As much as she despised him, she had to admit; he had a refined taste in chefs. The food looked delicious, as the portions of salad and dressing were the right touch and fruit. On any other occasion, this would be an extraordinary feast. Too bad, her host was anything but superb.

She pulled out a note pad and a pencil from within the bun of her mane as she looked back at her host, finishing his meal with a napkin cleaning his lips. "Let's get to business then, shall we?"

"What, no time to chat? Strike up a conversation with your ruler? Surely you were taught better when it came to 'buttering up' your clients before an interview, were you not~?" He said teasingly.

"Most of the royals I interview are not sick in the head and imprisons his subjects through any means." Velvet pointed out. "I merely wish to perform my job and get an idea of how best to portray your character. The sooner I get through my series of questions, the better."

"I'll be the judge of that, but proceed." He sighed, resting his head back into his fist in his armchair.

It was then that Velvet felt uneasy under the crimson gaze of the dark ruler of the crystal empire. Those piercing red eyes stared right through her as if searching her very soul. She mentally shook it off and began to write down in her pad;

'Novelle of Sombra; Things to Note'

"Okay... First Question."

The mirror started to glow; it's light caught Shining's attention. He gave his reflection a stern look, both for whatever horror he as about to witness and how hard he had fallen from his once-noble status. Naked, bruised with bits of fur growing out unkept was not the look of the future of Equestria. By Sombra's design, this mirror existed to torment him. Soon, the image of his reflection disappeared as a clear image of the dining room surfaced where Sombra and his mother we're having they're little 'discussion.' Instantly, the white unicorn clung to the metal bars as he watched helplessly; muttering 'no no no' to himself as he heard discuss himself. Little did the poor stallion know that his mother trying to reason with a mad man would be the lease of his worries.

"... and that sums up my experience thus far. My best friend left me, I gave in to the darkness to enslave my home, six heroines and a dragon defeated me. Twice. And now I live and breathe again, enjoying my third and hopefully permanent reign as king. Does that answer your question?" He finished with a sip from his chalice.

"Y-Yes, your highness. Thank you..." She responded as she wrote down the last of his statement. "That does bring me to my next question. Regarding your current resurrection. You emanated that the last time, a being by the name of Grogar bright you back, and you made a deal with him in return should your second conquest fail." She began, looking back from her notes to the stallion. "Is that the reason you are here again? Or is there another factor?"

He leaned his head forward to deeply glare at her as his smug grin had slowly disappeared, replaced with a snarl. "A bit of a critical question to be asking, don't you think? Asking the reason you lot are now under my hoof when the answer lies in yourself; You were all weaklings, and I bested you through pure determination!"

Velvet nervously backed up with the tyrant looming closer with such an angry expression. Her worries only grew when he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ahahahaha! Oh, what a fool I was back then! Surely, had I kept that mindset, I would have died an even swifter death than the last! Ha!" he laughed before finding his composure and return to slyly grinning at the mother of royalty. "To answer your question, there is a bit of truth in that. But first, I must ask you something. What do you know of the Vice Lords~?"

"The... Vice Lords?!" Velvet asked in confusion.

"Yes. Ancient manifestations of the rawest of emotions and thoughts. Demons from another plane of existence! It was a fascinating discovery I made when I was first learning Equestria and the history of disasters and wicked deeds. According to tales of old, during Grogar's reign over Equestria, his magic unleashed a massive wave of agony and strife among his people. And these traits attracted mysterious figures and monsters to prey on them. And when Grogar was long gone, many claims to still hear their whispers. Compelling voices were calling for them to give in. If not for the spiritual Shepards, Equestria would have become a feeding ground."

Velvet couldn't even keep up with writing down the details of what he was saying. It sounded mad, make-believe like he was telling some twisted fairy tale to frighten her. And yet, with how serious his expression was and the glow in his ruby eyes, Sombra made it sound so real as he had the first-hand experience in the matter.

"I didn't believe it myself when I first read the text from the scrolls. But their existence was enough to make me believe. You see, there was a plot where Grogar brought together a legion of Equestria's greatest enemies. To put an end to your daughter and her friends," Sombra continued.

"The changeling queen Chrysalis, Tirek the terrible and... some... pegasus filly for some reason. Not important, though, for in my arrogance, I made a deal with him. Should I succeed in reclaiming my right as king of the Crystal Empire, I was free to do as I would. If I failed, I would serve loyalty to him. Now obviously, I was overconfident and did as he predicted. But the place I returned to wasn't purgatory. No, Where I went to, there was nothing. Then... there were monsters..."

A shudder left his body as the memories of that forsaken place remained firm in his mind. Velvet herself could only imagine what horrors any pony would face from the change in his tone. Did her daughter ever go to such a place during her adventures?

"There, many demons... Various forms with faces, eyes, and teeth showed me how fragile I was. My body had cheated death so many times; there was little that would bring me back without strong enough magic. And since I was indebted to Grogar, I was made to serve and suffer by his 'children' in ruling and hideous tasks. I've suffered blasts of light in the face, and my very body was splitting into rocks! But my time shared, being tortured and violated by those things..? I'd gladly have my memory taken if it meant never reliving those nightmares..." he took a moment to drink down the last of his wine to try and cool his nerves.

"Eventually, I had earned my place among them, and one of them shared their secrets. The Lord of Temptation saw potential magic no unicorn could dare dream of acquiring. A Magic that hadn't existed long after the dark ages! It felt like I went back in time, where the only things that mattered in life were survival and killing. Where the weak of spirit only served to feed the strong. An ideology I could easily get behind~!" Sombra chuckled, looking once more to make sure his guest was still following. While her eyes remained wide, her mouth a gap, her hand was feverishly writing down in her note pad, as if automatic.

"So once Grogar brought me back to life after learning my time spent in damnation, I honored my end and aligned myself to his causes. Course, he had to keep me secret from the rest of his legion. You see, they were scheming behind his back to take his source of power from him and use it against him. Of course, Grogar foresaw this and, once the time was right, sent me to deal with them personally~."

"Y-You mean to say that they are..."

"Dead. And unlike me, those imbeciles will be staying that way~."

It was unbelievable. To think that three of Equestria's most villainous of fiends would join forces together right under Celestia's nose was deplorable. But to hear them all get snuffed out?

"So to summarize, yes. Grogar is partially the reason I've come back once again, and through his wisdom and command, we defeated your forces and took over all of Equestria in a glorious reign of darkness to begin anew. As a reward for my cooperation and allegiance, the crystal empire was mine once again to rule." Sombra concluded, folding his arms over to rest his head into the top of his hands; his smirk ever so smug as he watched her scribble down the last of his answer. She had never heard such horrible nonsense in her life as a writer. Regardless of what he said to be true or not, it at least would be an intriguing tale that would satisfy his majesty's ego.

"'So then what does this have to do with my daughter?' you're probably wondering~?"

She dropped her pencil as it rolled off to the side of the table. Her eyes shot up to Sombra's like a child that heard their parent catch them red-handed in the cookie jar. His smug little grin grew wider.

"Oh, yes! Don't think I don't know the real reason you've agreed to do this for me. Not out of honor for your king, nor necessarily fear for what I'll do. But simply because you want to know what that status of your daughter, your beloved Twilight Sparkle is doing."

"H-How... I-I never said--"

"And now, I have a series of questions I'd like to ask you~! Like how do you plan to persuade me not to make her my queen? What do you offer me in return?"

"I-I... Ahh... W-Well..."

"No, no, Mom NO!!"

Shining shouted at the mirror as Sombra rose from his seat to move towards his distraught mother. He knew this would happen. Sombra knew how to get inside your head and figure out which way to manipulate you. This game of questions was just to open her up before he made his move. Whatever truth that tale about Grogar or the Vice Lords didn't matter in the present moment. His mother was in danger. And he was stuck here, trying to pry open the bars open and force his way out of there.

"Well well~! Turns out, losing your wife wasn't enough to completely break you like I predicted," An all too unsettling voice as his eyes turned to see Equinox standing in the open doorway, wearing that wicked grin of hers. "Guess that means you didn't love her enough to try~."

"SHUT YOUR TRAP!" Shining growled at her, grinding his teeth while using all of his strength to pry the bars open. He even turned from using his hands to trying to kick at the door. He, of course, knew his body was still too weak. And the fact that she was here to taunt him only reignited fear and anger he thought was exalted.

"Or what?" The bat mare scoffed as she approached his cage before taking a seat at a stool, turning her attention back to the mirror. "You couldn't stop your wife from falling victim to Sombra's will; you think your mother will be different? Please, she sealed her fate by waltzing right in here. We both know it's only a matter of time 'til she's played like a fiddle. Don't we, Shining Armour~?"

Shining's glare turned back to the projection from the mirror as Sombra was now in front of his mother. And deep down, no matter how much he wanted to deny in his heart, he knew that the crazed lunatic was right. Velvet would suffer to whatever Sombra had planned the moment she stepped into his castle.

"It's quite simple, honestly," he began as he walked around her end of the table slowly, much as a shark would around a stranded victim. "During my time with the demons, I've come to learn of my mortality. This body of mine, though powerful and handsome, will not last forever. And I will be remembered for my reign many centuries to come. But to do that, I need to establish my bloodline to make sure my rule remains well after I'm gone. Therefore, I need a queen, who will be by my side and birth me healthy heirs to succeed me~!"

"Y-You can't be serious!" Velvet demanded, her arms holding together to try and keep her shaking to a minimal. "W-What happened to the princess of the crystal empire!?"

"Ahh, you mean your daughter-in-law? Yes, well, she was defiantly a worthy candidate. Though unfortunately, her mind was far too easy to break. And to think, she was my successor trying to run my kingdom. Ha! No, her place is under my heel like the spoiled bitch she is. Your daughter, on the other hand, has been ripe for the picking ever since she succeeded Celestia! She is a much more fitting partner to share in my power and gl--"

*SMACK*

Whatever force that kept her scared to remain seated left as Velvet rose to deliver a harsh slap across the tyrant's face.

"How dare you talk about my daughter that way!" She snapped. "My Twilight is not some object. She is the smartest, most compassionate princess, and I refuse to allow some vile villain like you force yourself onto her. Nothing on Equestria will resurrect you back when I'm through with you!"

Sombra momentarily pulled his head back while rubbing the mark on his sore cheek before letting out a low chuckle.

"Mmm, I like a woman who can stand her ground. Though I wonder where this side of you went when your son was first impriosned~."

This statement froze Twilight Velvet from hitting him a second time.

"M-My, what..?"

"Your son! You know, the young stallion locked up in my dungeon? The one you just visited moments ago? Your other child?!"

"M-My, son..."

He stood tall before looming over her, his presence forcing her to back away as he approached her. "Come to think of it... you've hardly mentioned him at all during this little meeting of ours. The only thing that's on your mind is saving Twilight~."

"T-That is not true!" She insisted. "I will have my son as well as my daughter. They are no different in--"

"But they are!"

Sombra pressed her hard into the wall, both hands placed on her shoulders to keep her pinned as he leered over her, feeling her struggle to push him away. "The only one lying here is you, Mrs. Velvet. You have always favored Twilight Sparkle over your eldest for years now. And it's not even his fault!" he growled. Velvet could only mutter no over and over now, shaking her head, refusing to believe in his words.

"How could it be? It's not like either of your children are aware of how you feel. Not even your husband is aware~!"

"P-Please no..."

"How long have you've been unsatisfied with your writings. Shown no appreciation for your work of your duties as your husband works late in the night. He's never even up to making love to you nowadays, isn't he?"

"E-Enough of this! I won't hear it!!"

"And because you won't receive the attention of the stallion you love, you've been neglecting your son and his accomplishments. Shining became captain to the royal guard, married a princess. He was all set to rule a kingdom with a baby on board! And yet you never once paid him any attention or parental support. Unless, of course, Twilight was involved."

"STOP IT PLEASE! NO MORE! NO MORE!" She sobbed, her hands now clutching her head as her tormentor continued to bring out these awful feelings she had harbored inside of her. Ashamed of herself, guilty for how she felt. The loneliness. The anger. The bitterness of being forgotten by the stallion she thought loved her as much as she did him. And in some twisted way, reflected those feelings to her firstborn.

Satisfied with her whimpering, Sombra would give her space as she crumbled down on the floor, clutching her chest as tears stained her dress.

"No matter..." he said, dusting off his suit before turning her back to the older mare. "In a week, Twilight will be my queen, and I will have a generation's worth of foals to continue my heritage as the strongest and most powerful unicorn... Unless..."

Her sobbing quiet downed as she rose her head to stare up at him, wiping away the tears and runny mascara. "U-Unless..?" She sniffled, meeting his solemn gaze.

"... You were willing to take her place~."

"M-Me..? W-What?"

"Why not?" he asked, lowering onto one knee to level himself with the older unicorn. "You're a lovely ol' horse, still as beautiful as a flower even well past Velvet's prime. You're in such excellent shape that I could mistake you in your late thirties!"

"N-No, I... I'm not..." she said, her face now flustering as she reactively pushed back a line of stray hair. "I couldn't! I'm.."

"Too Old? Nonsense! A mare of your stature and age are rare these days. Besides. You miss it, don't you~?" He asked. "The attention. The feeling of being wanted and loved. To have hands caress you, feel you up, and hold you as if you belonged. If you live with me, I will pamper you until you felt right at home..." he whispered, his eyes a dangerous smoldering look as he offered her his hand.

"Come be with me..! Rule by my side and let me fill that hole in your... heart~."

His words were too enticing to be true. Velvet couldn't imagine it; years of devotion to Night Light. Only to mean nothing should she accept and be taken by this devilish sorcerer. She couldn't throw their marriage away like that. Not to a stallion like Sombra, who has shown to be manipulative, cunning, and brutal. Why would anyone trust a vile thing this snake would say how

And yet...

It sounded so good. How long had Velvet wished to return to the good old days, cradled in the strong arms of a loving stallion? To be kissed and loved like a young mare again. To feel... wanted. Night Light rarely gave her many conversations after work. Simply ate, sit down to read, or go straight to bed while occasionally kissing her. A mare in the mid-life she was, but she still had her needs. And if a handsome, seductive creature like Sombra was offering to fulfill those needs, should she truly refuse?

"... A-And if I agree, Twilight will be safe? You won't marry her?"

His smile spread as he bowed his head. "You have my word as a king. Twilight will not be my queen, should I have you~."

Velvet hesitantly stared at his offered hand before she eventually took it as he helped her to her hooves. If she did this, it meant that her daughter was safe from marrying a horrible monster. Yes, this was a sacrifice she could make if Twilight would be free. And knowing her daughter, she would find a way to save her from this fiend. Just one night of adultery would be worth a chance to save the kingdom, right..?

'Please forgive me, Night Light...'

"I'll... accept."

"No... Mother!!"

All energy he had left to rescue his mother somehow had depleted the moment she gave in to Sombra's demands. His form slunk to his knees in disbelief. Once again, he was here, trying to lie to himself that this was not happening. His mother wasn't here, and she wasn't heading up the stairs to let Sombra do depraved acts with her. And yet it as clear as day looking in the mirror as his mother walked with Sombra's arm wrapped around her waist, heading upstairs to what was most likely Sombra's sleeping chambers.

The sound of the cell door opening caught his ear as he looked up to see Equinox, leaning up against the side with a smile most unpleasant. "Naaaawww.. poor Shining Whining~ Was trying so hard to break free and save his mommy when, all along, she never came to save him! And Sombra didn't even have to convince her, too~!" She laughed madly.

Shining's gaze turned from sorrow to rage in an instant before he rose up to tackle her. His efforts were met with a swift knee to his ribs, followed by a spinning kick sending him back into the cell wall. He yowled in pain as the bench hit his spine from the force. He struggled to get up until he felt his arms getting raised above his head. Metal snapped around his wrists and kept him hanging slightly on the wall. Once his senses were clear, Shining realized that the bat mare had cuffed him to a high wall in the cell to keep him from moving.

"Nice of you to remind me that you're not allowed to be moving around so much," she sneered before approaching him, reaching behind to pull at something from under her armor. Shining glared down at his warden before spotting a small pouch. She opened it before pulling out what looked to be a pink pill of sorts.

"You deserve a reward~" she purred.

"W-What is that..!" he demanded, squirming a bit as she got up to him, once more pressing her cold steel body against his bare flesh while their muzzles remained a couple of inches apart. Instinctively, he turned his head away. But it was futile to stop Equinox from pulling his face back, looking menacingly with yellow eyes.

"Something to help make what comes next more... pleasurable~" she whispered, placing the pill on her tongue before forcing her mouth onto hers and forcing her tongue into her throat. Shining muffled in alarm and struggled to push her face off of his, but the lip lock was tight as he felt something slide down the back of his throat. The kiss ended, sticky saliva webbing from their lips as he tried to cough out the pill to no avail.

The drug's effect immediately kicked in as he felt his body feel warm and heavy; sweat starting to pour from his brows and skin. His breathing grew heavy as well until he felt some swell up beneath him. His eyes widened in horror as his stallion hood began to erect on its own, pulsating to nearly his full length and leaking pre-cum. Equinox mused over her work before flicking at the tip, causing Shining to gasp in alarm. He felt so sensitive!

"Mmm~ Good boy! Get nice and hard for me..." She snickered, getting a good hold of his equipment and starting to slowly stroke in a tight grip, making his groan and bite into his lip. "Don't worry. I'll make you feel good while mommy is busy~."

His attention went back to the mirror across the cell as the image changed. All Shining could do was look on in horror as Sombra lead Twilight Velvet into his room.

"Here we are~!" The dark king greeted, helping the mother of royalty into his bedroom. Unlike the rest of the castle, there was a balcony that led to the outside. The moon was high in the sky, clouds threatening to mask her glow. A large king-sized bed with velvet sheets stood in the center of the room with a wardrobe and mirror set opposite from it. A large red rug sat afoot from the bed. Velvet gazed around, hands rubbing together nervously as she heard the door shut lock and felt hands slide up to hold her waist.

"Cozy..." She commented as Sombra rested his head onto her shoulder and pressed his body against her back.

"You'll get used to it. Trust me~" the tyrannical ruler chuckled, hands trailing up the mother's back to begin pulling down the ties on the back until they loosened. Velvet sighed, blushing as she rolled her shoulders to help slide down her dress. Her body quivered upon feeling the garment slide down to the floor, leaving her in just her lacy black bra and panties.

"Ohhh~" Sombra purred as his hands immediately felt up her bosom, a small gasp escaping her mouth. She tried to keep distant sounds silent as the unicorn bounced, squeezed, and felt up her breasts. "Are you sure you had no intention of seducing me to rescue Twilight? Dressed like this~?"

"Ruffian!" She hissed before feeling one hand trail down her stomach before teasing at her crotch, letting out a light sigh.

"Oh, I'll be rough, alright. It's the least I can do since your husband rarely did anything exciting with you~" he promised before his horn lit up to unhook the back latches on her garment as his hand pulled off her expensive piece of underwear to reveal her E sized tits. Hard nipples were peaking out with a slight sag with a small bounce whenever she moved. Velvet had to use every mental suppression from trying to cover herself as the large stallion's hand came back up to squeeze roll her breasts around in his palms, tubs digging into her hard nubs.

"Magnificent! They feel so full, yet so soft~ You've kept yourself in great shape indeed!" He said, licking his jaws as he tugged and pinched onto her nipple, causing a sharp yelp to come from her. "W-Wait, please don't! T-There very--Ahh~! S-Sensitive!" She begged before squirt of creamy liquid oozed onto his fingers, much to the delight of the tyrant.

"And you can still lactate! Splendid! Not to worry, my dear. We'll make good use of these baby feeders for all the foals I plan to put in you. But first, why don't I help myself to some mother's milk~" He purred before rolling her to face him. Cupping one breast in his palm, he lowered his muzzle to her drenching nipple and suckled on it much like a hungry foal, his teeth nibbling gently to draw more out.

Velvet felt a rush as her bountiful breasts were played with and lapped at. It had been years since she had to breastfeed her children, let alone with an erotic partner. Her husband was more of an ass man, an asset she was proud of, but she always loved whenever her twins got the attention earned. And to say the lease that Sombra was giving plenty of attention was an understatement. Her face blushed harder; more moans were becoming easier to draw out of her. Her panties were becoming increasingly wet. Sombra would inspect this as his fingers prodded and teased her pantie clad mound.

After a good minute or two just milking her mammaries, he pulled away with a satisfying pop as saliva and milk dripped out of her perky nipples. Velvet was left panting hotly as she watched him remove his suit; the top and shirt below coming rundown as his sculpted figure revealed from his clothing. She couldn't help herself now, no matter how she wanted to resist, how much of an attractive stud Sombra was. Overconfident and narcissistic as he was, he pertained backed up with immense prowess. Naturally, her eyes betrayed her and fell to the large bulged formed in his dress pants, easily more prominent than even Night Light was back in their youth.

"I leave the honors to you~."

The motherly unicorn was like a deer in headlights at his request. He was going to make sure Velvet actively participated in cheating on her husband. Taking a slow breath, she would lower to her knees and begin fiddling with his pants button and zipper until tugging down his legs. Between his muscular thighs was a big bulge presented more than when within his pants; only briefs keeping his hefty stallionhood from flopping out and smacking her across the face. Her eyes were already wide with fear and in anticipation of having this behemoth in her hands. Her mouth. Her dripping needy cu--

She shook her head and tried to ignore her eagerness. No matter how attractive or well endowed he may be, Sombra was the proudest and despicable creature on Equestria. Without any more delay, she tugged at his briefs before pulling down.

'... Oh no..'

The pure expression of surprise and hidden lust that bloomed in her eyes was delicious to Sombra. He wasn't at full mass yet, and that look alone told her she was in for a night of pure ecstasy. His penis hung low from his sheath, almost to his knees. With a small flex of muscle, it popped up to brush against her face. The smell of his musk made her melt, almost intoxicating to breathe in.

There was no doubt or speculation now. Sombra was much larger than Night Light could ever hope to be. And that monster would be inside her, ready to inflate her with one more child to bare.

"Speechless, I see! Haven't been with a stallion far bigger than a stick, right~?" Sombra continued to tease her as his cock grew slightly more massive. "Now be a dear and get me nice and lubed up. You're going to need a lot for me to fit everything inside~!"

She nodded slightly merely by instinct. Biting her lip once more, Velvet began to stroke his cock, her grip on his firm to help get him to full size. Her other hand would work on the large balls underneath his girth shaft, causing a pleasant coo from her ravenous partner. By now, his stallionhood had fully erected and towered over her face as bits of pre-cum began to drip out his urethra and onto her nose. Winching, she closed her eyes and began to slowly lick her way along the underbelly of his cock, trying her best to imagine she was doing this with Night Light instead.

Though try as she may, it was far too hard to imagine doing this with Night Light. It didn't help that he would never touch her like Sombra was whenever she suggested spicing up their nights. No new kinks, no different tactics or ideas. Always the same positions, routine before weeks of nothing but work and little communication. It also didn't help that Sombra's taste had a unique flavor that made her body ache for more. Her eyes opened to look up at Sombra, enjoying himself while his hand brushed and petted her head while she slurped and sucked on the side of his cock.

'Affection' Her mind went upon feeling his gestures. The mere fact that she was getting touched at all sent her body wonderful signals as she pressed her lips deeper onto the tip while licking up any traces of pre-cum. It wasn't as bitter as she was expecting, almost a hint of sweetness. Her thoughts on protecting her daughter and disdain for the cruel tyrant were slowly becoming less prominent as a curiosity and lust slowly grew within her.

For his part, Sombra was impressed at how well he was resisting just to shove her head in his groin and make her swallow him whole. Yet it felt more satisfying to watch her stroke him and sample off his dick willingly. And indeed, the mother of two had taken a couple more steps and began to bob her head over the first inch of black stallionhood while her hands held and stroked the rest of his shaft. Pleasant sounds from the king rewarded her efforts, which encouraged her to take more of him into her mouth.

"Keep still," he instructed, placing both hands on her head to steady her. "Try to relax your throat. It'll make taking all of me far easier~" And with that, he slowly pushed his length fully past her lips as they met his crotch, his throbbing member deep down her throat. Velvet's eyes watered as she flexed her throat to try and push it out, choking over it.

"Ohhh fuck~! Just as I anticipated. Your throat is incredibly tight! Probably from never taking a real cock before. But don't fret, my dear. I'll fix that little issue soon enough~" He promised her before pulling himself free from her maw with a wet pop; Velvet coughing roughly as spit flew out of her mouth.

"No need to worry, I won't force you into that again. Let's move on~."

"G-Gahh! S-Stop it, please! Just leave me alone!!" Shining begged, yet the bat mare would not relent, practically twisting his shaft while yanking it with the intent on ripping it off. Her bright yellow eyes stared menacingly up as she nibbled on her finger while watching him suffer at her hand.

"Yes, cry for me! It only makes me want you harder~!" Equinox replied as she dragged her tongue up along his sensitive prick before darting the tip into his urethra, making him moan in unwanted pleasure.

"Look at you, wriggling around while mommy sucks of king-sized dick. You sick, miserable shit! I bet you imagine her in my place, aren't you?! Wanna get your peepee sucked from mommy~?"

"N-No! Stop it!" he yelled, his legs trying to kick her off. But any attempt was paused as the tip of her fingers dug into his shaft's flesh, making him bellow in pain.

"That's okay, Shining. I can be your mommy if you want~!" she sadistically quipped while spitting at his dick before stroking it all in. "Just keep your eyes on the mirror. You won't want to miss what's gonna happen next~! Oh, and if you dare cum in my mouth, you're losing your dick." She said, glaring up at him before closing her eyes and placing the tip onto her tongue before pushing the first few inches into her mouth to slurp on. Though Shining Armour was on edge as occasionally, he felt her fangs glide threateningly along his shaft. Sniffling and whimpering, he clutched his fists before keeping his eyes back on the mirror before him. There was no use fighting it. Just let it happen, he told himself. Just make it happen, and it'll be over soon.

"M-Maagh~"

Velvet grunted and huffed as she tried to keep her breasts wrapped around Sombra's cock while he pumped his hips back and forth against them. Given how much saliva being in her throat was, it mad any friction or roughness less of a problem as with each thrust through her cleavage, his tip would occasionally bop into her lips. And, as if by instinct, her mouth would part to lick and suck on it whenever it was close. Her nipples continued to leak a bit of milk as her fingers pressed into her tits before Sombra gave one more thrust that pushed his balls into the bottom of her breasts.

"Mmmaah~! Such scrumptious milky tits!" he praised with some sincerity. "I'll be sure to put them to good use once we're through." She was furiously flustered as Sombra helped her up to her feet. Her eyes looking a bit hazy as spit and milk coated her chest and trailed to her nearly damped panties. "Oh, you poor thing! You're so soaked. Here, lay down."

Velvet was taken aback from his sudden shift in attitude. Sure, he wasn't explicitly crude to her and all the more rough and pervert, but she did not think he would be considerate. Slowly she fell back onto his bed as he crawled on top of her. His muzzle would press into her breast as he lapped up her milk, making her shiver and moan uncontrollably. Unlike before, these licks were slow, taking their time in making sure not a drop was pouring out before traveling down her navel. His fingers found the elastic to her panties as he slides them off her legs; Velvet, not realizing she was offering no resistance as her winking cunt was now bare to him. His eyes stared back at her with a grin.

"Never say I wasn't a generous ruler~" he winked before his tongue slithered out and gave her folds a long lick. Air left her lungs in a loud gasp as her hands clutched at his mane while he kissed and licked up her pussy of its juices. It had been ages since anyone went down on her, let alone her lazy husband. So to feel her sensitive slit getting lapped and licked cause her to arched her body up in immense pleasure.

"O-Ohh Celestia~!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my dear. I'm afraid Celestia's long gone. But I'm here~" He growled playfully before burying his muzzle as deep as he could while his tongue wriggled about within her folds; looking to reach and touch every part inside her that had been neglected. Clutching at his hair, Velvet no longer cared if he heard her cry out from how good he made her feel. The dark unicorn lashed his tongue inside her tight hole, making sure not a single spot was left untouched. He wanted this MILF to beg for him, let her deepest desires come forth, and take her... much like he was.

Once he felt hot juices squirt into his muzzle and another long gasp echo from the walls, Sombra pulled away while licking at his drenched face. Smiling, he admired the work he had done with her. Velvet was a gaping, sweating mess; each breath causing her breasts to fall and rise. She could barely focus on anything outside the throbbing, hot need in her loins. She almost didn't notice something hard and fleshy rub up against her loins, causing her to stare down. Sombra was lightly rubbing the bottom of his shaft against her pussy, groaning at how wet she felt before aiming the tip against her opening.

'T-This is it!' she said to herself as her eyes widen, overseeing just the petals of her flower spread from the massive shape of his cockhead. One push and she would be his mare. She could never return to Night Light, knowing she let another stallion use her body. Her eyes wandered to see the gentle yet arrogant smile on Sombra's face.

"Let go of your worries, Velvet," he told her while pressing his broad chest into hers while cupping her cheek; almost romantically. "I'll take good care of you and our child. Forget about Night Light; you've wasted enough years on that fool. A gorgeous mare like you deserves a good stud. Now give in... and come to me~"

Tears would stream from her eyes as her arms slowly wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer to her, lips finding each other in a passionate kiss as Sombra slowly filled her core. Thoughts and memories of the good times she shared with her husband faded. Whatever guilt over betraying her husband washed away with every inch fed to her hungry marehood. Not even a sense of regret could interrupt the pleasure coursing through her body now. All that she could ever want was in front of her. This dominant stud was pounding her honey pot into mulch with a thick cock. Anticipation and need to carry his foals heightened her ecstasy. Her birthing canal clutched and tried to suck all of him in whenever he pulled back to thrust hard.

Upon feeling a tongue slither its way into her mouth, hers would wriggle and dance underneath as he overpowered her, muffling her moans and pleas for more. Never had she taken such a big fertile dick inside her before. No colt she flirted with back in high school or fantasy hero could measure up to how full her marehood was. And now here she was, letting this tyrannical ruler reshape and mold her slit to sheath only his cock, making her his whore.

The male unicorn pulled away from her face, his hot breath brushing against her cheek as he picked up the pace and threw his weight in, rutting the mare harder into his bed. Hefty balls smacked and clapped into her jiggling backside while warm juices gushed out of her marehood. Hands slid towards her bouncy breasts to grope and squeeze onto for leverage while his mouth latched onto her neck to bite and suck onto, making Velvet cry out in pure ecstasy. She could no longer hold in her lust for him anymore,

"Y-Yes~! Oh, please, your highness! Make me yours~! I need your cock! I need to feel you buried inside me! H-Harder~!" She praised him, mystical purple aura steaming from her eyes as her restraint finally diminished. Sombra smiled triumphantly; another mare of Shining's family conquered. And with her pleading for her king to ruin her more, he was happy to oblige as he shrugged off whatever 'gentleness' he pretended to have and jackhammered his hips into hers. Hands left her tits to clutch at her hips and pull her bottom half up. This left Velvet in a vulnerable angle with her legs now dangling by her head as all she could do is watch the unicorn king pump his dick in and out of her slutty hole. And judging by his growling grunts and frantic pace, he was close to filling said hole up to the brim.

"Yes! Cum in me! Give me your seed! Take my womb and bath it in your cum! Make me a mother again~!" She begged, losing her voice as she screamed through another orgasm that clashed with his own. Her eyes rolled into her head as she felt white-hot liquid gush into her womb like a geyser. She could feel her tummy swell up a little like a balloon. Sombra remained on top, panting heavily. Sweat poured off his muscular body while keeping their hips close as possible to make sure Velvet took every last drop of sperm his balls could offer. After a moment, he slowly pulled his coated cock from her gaping hole, a bit of their combining juices leaking out from her gaping hole.

The dark magic disappeared from her eyes as she felt the afterglow take hold of her body. Her hand shakily reached to scoop up the warm white fluid dripping out her freshly fucked marehood and raised her fingers to gaze at the results of her adultery. Slowly, her morality and conscious returned to her, and guilt starting to sink in.

"O-Oh... No, what have I!? Oh, Night Light... I'm so sorry..!" she whimpered, her eyes watering in tears. She felt deprived. She had given into this devil's charm and let him leave a permanent mark on her. Whatever chance of salvaging her marriage was now void, knowing she would be pregnant with this monster's foal. Velvet glared over to said monster as he was redressing himself, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I hope I was able to satisfy your selfish intents, my lord..." she spat, her voice dripping with hatred. "You've made me your whore. But as long as it keeps Twilight out of your clutches, I'll do whatever depraved request you want."

"Mmm, yes... About that..." Sombra half-heartedly spoke as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

Those last two words struck her to her core as her eyes widened, filled with fury and anguish.

"... Y-You promised! No, you're keeping your word, Right!? You swore!!" she frantically yelled as Sombra rose from his bedside to give his attention to her entirely. The stern expression on his face was all too apparent. Seething with rage and humiliation, she lashed out at him, pounding his chest with her clutched hands as hard as she could.

"YOU PROMISED!!" She screamed at him. "YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME!!"

"And I'm shall keep it!" He insisted, holding her wrists in a tight grip to cease her futile attempts to hurt him. "Understand me; I swore on my crown to releasing your daughter should you serve me well... And you have! But there is another promise I must fulfill first~."

"What are you talking about..?" She growled, yanking her hands away from his grasp.

"Didn't I tell you? I had you write down the reason for my success... It should be obvious that it didn't come without a price. The Vice Lord's wish to explore Equestria and harvest the emotions and spirits that live here. And to do that, well, sacrifices need to be made~."

"N-No... Y-You're mad.." she hissed, her face failing to hide the horror of the situation. "T-There is no such thing!!"

"But there is!" he insisted, a vicious grin to his features as his all too familiar aura glowed from out his eyes. "With Celestia and Luna gone, nothing will stop us from opening the gateway and summoning the demons forth to Equestria. All it takes is a ritual, three beings who have practiced in the dark arts, and a spill of virgins blood~."

Those requirements and the possible intent behind meeting them sunk into her heart as the mother unicorn let out a whimpering,

"No..."

"And that was our agreement. The Vice Lords would help me return to my rightful glory, and I help them roam freely in Equestria. Do you know how unwise it would be to go back on a promise made to primordial beings that feed on our energy? The consequences could prove fatal. So you see, my dear Velvet. While I want to honour our agreement, I simply can't. Not without fulfilling my end of the bargain with the demons. Only then will I let your daughter free~"

No other sound came as Velvet sat there in utter despair. Shining was right. She should have left the kingdom immediately instead of trying to reason with a megalomaniac. But it was too late, for she was no longer anything but his property. His concubine to lay with, impregnate and use however he wished. And she would watch as Twilight would soon join the tyrant in unholy matrimony. Sombra would wipe her tears before laying her gently onto the bed as she curled into a fetal position.

"Rest now, love," he whispered into her ear before kissing her cheek, trying to sound gentle and compassion when the motherly mare knew better. "There is much we have to prepare for the future. Yours, mine and Twilights~!" When all was said and done, all Velvet could do was sobbed quietly to herself. She was left to drown in her woes and her mistakes. Nothing but regret and anguish awaited her in the bleak future ahead.

This was it. Shining Armor's heart had managed to break a couple more pieces in seeing his mother used. He couldn't even feel the pain in his groin from Equinox nibbling and tugging on his cock with her maw while he watched Velvet getting fucked like a sow by a madman; the false hope of freeing his sister too enticing. And now she would carry his offspring and use her body whenever he felt like it. It could be argued Cadance meet a merciful end to her life in becoming a dick obsessed nymphomaniac. Sombra broke his mother in ways no one should have to experience. And Twilight would soon share in this cruel fate.

"GRAH!" he bellowed as he felt a sharp stinging pain course through his genitals before glaring down at the bat mare, who had finished sucking on his meaty straw for what felt like hours. She whipped her muzzle before spitting at his face, a satisfied smirk to her face. "Not bad, my perverted stud~! Not a single drop of cum. Good, good~! I want to keep you nice and blue until I take everything left of you. Soon, you won't be able to forget about me~" she exclaimed, leaning in to give one last long lick of his ear before leaving his cage. Once the door was locked, Equinox made her way out of the dungeon as Sombra's face loomed over the mirror, staring directly at Shining as if he could see him.

"I hope you enjoyed the show, my friend," he said in a condescending tone. "All that raw anger and emotion must be building up inside of you. But you're nowhere near the brink of despair yet. Once I've claimed everything you hold dear, it'll make breaking you my most shining accomplishment yet! Hahahaha~!"

"SOMBRA!" he roared, the feeling of fatigue in his body overridden by wrath as he rattled his chains to try and free himself. What Sombra said was valid; there was still plenty of fight in him; if only determined to see his head decapitated by his own hands. "LEAVE MY FAMILY OUT OF THIS! LET THEM GO!"

"Not until you're begging at my hooves and proclaiming me as your rightful ruler, you pathetic worm!" Sombra hissed back, the sneer on his muzzle as terrible as the pony himself. "Now listen well. Grogar will be in the Crystal Empire in due time. And since you're firmly in my clutches, I figure I'd generously give you time to stretch out and move about, especially since I'll be needing the best man to walk Twilight down. And who better for that task than her big, brave, courageous brother~."

Shining dare not imagine the scene play out as was told. The implications of what would happen far too horrible for words to spell out. Yet it would happen. Sombra would see to it that this wedding happen and that Shining would be front and center for him to defile his sister. So all he could do was bare through it. He would make fair use of his time to rest up and figure out a plan once he could move more freely.

"I suggest you think carefully on how you'll act, Shining Armor," Sombra said, his glare piercing through the mirror. "I will shatter your resolve! It's only a matter of time until and your family grovel at my feet! Then no one in Equestria will be left to oppose me!"

His image disappeared in the mirror and left the bruised unicorn prince to this solitude. His head, aching. His member, swollen and stiff. His dignity, as dirty as his coat. His resolution, resolved. All that he could hold tightly was whatever pride he had left and the determination to see through this torture. He would find a way to make this tyrant pay for what he's done to his wife and mother. He would not allow his sister to fall victim to Sombra's diabolical plot against him.

No matter what he had to sacrifice, he would save his family.
