Sending a search party

Cadence had seen the meteor land, and decided to send two guards to check it out. They set out, and reached the site. There was ash all over the snow, and smoke was still floating up from the meteor. They began to examine the remains, and found a large crystal under the rocky part of the meteor. They were about to look at it, when it suddenly cracked in half. A stallion emerged, and the guards could not tell who he was. He zapped them with his magic, and laughed in an evil tone. They were severely injured, and one of them was nearly dead. His partner rushed him back to Cadence.

"You could not identify the figure?", she asked worriedly.

The guard nodded sadly, and explained what they had seen. Cadence was shaken, because that sounded like somepony who had been defeated before she had Flurry Heart. She notified Celestia at once, and sent a call to Twilight.

"Twilight, this is Cadence. I need you to meet in Canterlot. We have a visitor who is impolite when being welcomed."

The Christians are called in

Knowing that this was going to be a dangerous mission to complete, Cadence went to Canterlot to meet with Celestia and Luna. Twilight arrived five minutes later. The four of them decided that they needed to contact the Christians for help.

Miles away in space, on the Lemurian Star, a radio call started coming through on the bridge. Brandon and many of the others had gone to bed. Fraaz, one of the two Lieutenants, noticed the light flashing and put on his headphones to listen to the transmission.

"Admiral Link, I am getting a radio transmission from Equestria. It sounds like Celestia.", Fraaz said.

"Good work, Lieutenant. Put her on speakers.", Link replied.

"Lemurian Star, this is Canterlot Tower. Do you copy?", Celestia said.

"This is the Lemurian Star. Go ahead, Canterlot Tower.", Link responded.

"There has been a meteor landing near the Crystal Empire. Cadence sent two guards to investigate, and try to gather anything useful. However, the guards were attacked by a mysterious energy bolt. One was barely injured, but the other one was injured critically and died later. We need your assistance.", Celestia explained.

"We will be there, on the double.", Link said as he prepared to warp.

The ship shot through space, until they reached the planet. Being cautious, Brandon ordered Clawdeen and Draculaura to land the Lemurian Star in the water, and submerge.

Equestria goes to FULL ALERT

After receiving the specifications and details, Celestia sent out an announcement over all of Equestria.

"THIS IS A CODE RED ALERT. ACCORDING TO INFORMATION I HAVE RECEIVED, KING SOMBRA HAS RETURNED. IT IS FEARED THAT FLURRY HEART MAY BE HIS TARGET. IF YOU FIND HIM, GET HIM RESTRAINED AND NOTIFY US SO HE CAN BE LOCKED UP. WE MUST DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO PREVENT HIM FROM ATTACKING."

Little did anyone know that he was hiding underground near the Crystal Empire.

He rose up abruptly, the next morning, and began to pour out his wrath and vengeance. The Christians began to open fire, creating detours in his path to the Crystal Palace. He soon reached the palace and got to Flurry Heart's nursery. Cadence and Shining Armor began to defend their daughter, but Sombra overpowered them and they passed out. He cast a spell on little Flurry, to keep her from waking up.

"STAND DOWN AT ONCE!!!", Brandon shouted as he charged into the room with hot rage in his eyes.

"You're too late. This one is mi ... YAAAH"

Brandon shot a tracker into Sombra's leg. Regardless of the pain, Sombra took off. Brandon and Link gathered their troops, and began to pursue the evil unicorn.

Pursuit

Boarding their jets and planes, the Christians began to follow Sombra from a distance. Reaching a cavern in a faraway canyon, they followed him inside. As they split into pairs, they readied their weapons. Brandon teamed up with Colin, his first officer and best friend.

After three minutes of searching, the timer began counting down. This time, however, Flurry Heart was both wet and messy. Shockingly, her own anger was going out of control, and she was having a massive adrenaline rush. Upon reaching where she was bound, they looked in the window as she tore the straps and broke herself loose. She crashed through the door, and began to search for her captor.

Reaching Sombra, the Christians watched as he tried to catch her again, but his nose caught the smell. He convulsed for a second and then fainted after vomiting. Six minutes had passed by this point, and she had a definite rash. Link shot energy beams at Sombra and sealed him in a crystal. Brandon managed to get Flurry and run a brain scan on her. After changing her and treating her skin, he looked at the results. He was in for a shock. Flurry did not care about whether she had a rash, or if they were trying to rescue her. She did not care about anything. She was focused only on the fact that she was angry about being captured.

Sombra's Imprisonment

After loading the crystal onto their plane, the Christians began flying for Canterlot. Along the way, they opened the window, and Flurry left the plane, flying happily into Cadence's waiting hooves.

Upon arrival in Canterlot, they talked with Celestia about what they would do. They settled on a verdict, that the crystal would be charged with energy of a high frquency and power. Brandon had already decided that Sombra would die for his monstrous actions, and Celestia agreed to his idea. He used his spiritual abilities to remove and destroy Sombra's soul, leaving only his body sealed in the crystal.

After going to Tartarus, Link charged the crystal. Sombra was left to die in agony. After three weeks had passed, Sombra was gone. Link smashed the crystal and cremated the corpse, ending King Sombra forever. Celebrations were held for two months straight. Music blared and fireworks exploded; ALL OF EQUESTRIA WAS JUBILANT.

Shooting Star

One day in Equestria, Shining Armor was finishing the practices for the new security measures to protect the Crystal Empire. Since the incident with Queen Chrysalis at Flurry Heart's first birthday party, defenses had become stronger, and stricter. The following evening, evryone was thrilled to hear that the meteor shower would be happening. Celestia had been tracking this one for quite some time, and it would be coming tonight. The nation watched as the meteors came streaking down from the dark sky. Flurry Heart giggled happily, because she had never seen one before in her life. Ponies and other creatures cheered and clapped as the final shooting star fell. It was the brightest, and largest of them all.

Little did anyone know that the last one was a fake shooting star, hiding a terribly dark secret. At the place where it landed, which was in viewing distance from the Crystal Empire, something scary was about to happen.

Anaylyzing the crash site

Upon arrival in the Crystal Empire, and after going through security, the Christians met up with Cadence at the palace. She led them up to the highest window, and they were able to see the point where the meteor had landed. After getting their supplies ready for analysis of the site, Brandon, Colin, Link, and Fraaz set off on their quest. They could see where the crystal had split open, and they were about to get a sample. Suddenly, a bolt flew from part of the crystal. Link pulled out an energy stabilizer, and caught the spark to keep it constant.

"NOW!", he yelled.

Brandon used a strong receptacle to collect the energy, and put it in his backpack. Then, the stallion appeared out of nowhere and zapped them. Fraaz was unharmed, but the others were knocked unconscious. Colin had managed to shoot a picture of the stallion before he was zapped. After reviving his shipmates, Fraaz led them back to the palace to discuss their findings. She would be in for a shock.

"We think this may be dark magic.", Brandon explained.

He was correct, because the energy had ridiculously high readouts, and it had a color between purple and black.

"This is not good at all.", Shining said worriedly.

Colin's picture shook Cadence to the core when she looked at it.

"We must maximize our security. He must not have any way of getting into our kingdom.", she said in a shaking voice.
