After hours of trying to get Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Cadence back to the real world while finding Rarity at her boutique, there was no success for finding a pulse. The 4 were taken to the hospital to get treated by actual doctors and nurses. Celestia, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Afterglow and Shining Armor all waited in the large hospital room for any sense of life that would come back to them. As hours flew by and the moon in night sky shined light over Ponyville, all of them slept. All besides Shining Armor, who stayed besides Cadence with her hoof in his. He blamed himself for what happened to Cadence. He couldn’t stop thinking about it. Why he felt so helpless and weak. Mentally and Physically. He heard the heart monitors beeping for the pulse, but he couldn’t take his mind off the situation. His thoughts pondered on the situation over and over.

[Flashback]

“Your precious Cadence is no longer in control. She has enough magic for me to take control of her.” Cadence’s horn lights up, seeing the drink being lifted up towards her. “This is a curtesy of Blacklight. Bottoms up.”

[Reality]

As tears formed in his eyes, he closed his eyes and quietly prayed to himself while tears ran down his face. The prayer was interrupted when Nurse Redheart walked in the room. He looked up at her with tears still running down his face. She smiled at him.

“All of them are going to be alright Shining. Just watch over Cadence to ensure-” She was interrupted by Shining Armor hugging her and crying on her shoulder. She smiled, hugging him back. “Don’t worry Shining. Everyone will be alright. Just watch over them as much as you can.” After 10 more seconds of Shining crying and hugging Redheart, he let go of her wiping his tears away. Redheart turned to Afterglow, seeing her staring out the window at the moon. “Ma’am? Are you alright?” Afterglow said nothing nor moved an inch. Shining answered for Afterglows current mood.

“Don’t worry. She’s just deep in thought about the situation. She’ll be fine soon enough. It’ll just take some time.”

“I see. Well, I have to check on other patients. If you notice anything wrong any of them, press the blue button above the bed for assistance. If it looks like an emergency, press the red once and the emergency team will respond instantly.”

“Thank you Redheart.” Redheart left the room as Shining sat back down, sighing in relief. Celestia slowly woke up, wiping her eyes to clear her vision. Looking around, Shining was resting his eyes as Afterglow was still staring out the window. Continuing to look, she tried to spot Razor Edge but didn’t find him. Afterglow responded, seeing at the corner of her eye why Celestia kept looking.

“Your husband is out. He said he’d be back in 1 hour, 20 minutes ago.”

“Thanks.” Celestia stood up, stretching and groaning. She looked over at Afterglow, confused of why she was just standing there. Celestia joined her, standing behind her and staring at the moon.

“You’re worried of seeing Blacklight again, aren’t you?” Tears started to run down Afterglows face after hearing the question. “Worried of what might happen if she sees you again?”

“I’m not worried…I’m terrified. For myself and all of you. You all have a family connection with each other. A bind that can’t be broken, and Blacklight is doing her beast to break it. To break you all apart, separate you, and worst of all…turn against each other. She not only feeds and anger and hatred, but it increases if it’s all directed at 1 particular person. That’s what keeps her moving. That’s how she’s able to get past others. If they turn on each other, she doesn’t have to do the work.” Afterglow closes her eyes, mentally going back to a memory of her first encounter with Razor. “When I first met Razor, I told him something to help him remember what he has and what to fight for. One of the first things I noticed was the ring he was wearing as a necklace. I knew he had someone to watch over, so I told him to do what he can to keep who he’s with safe. I saw something different in him than I saw in others. He had the fight in him that I imagined. The courage to stand his ground and die for the ones he cared for. I saw…a heart, inside of a dead soul. Someone who believes he can make a change. If this war is actually going to arrive, he'll know what he can do. His true strength hid inside of him will be released, and at that point…there will be no stopping what he does.”

“I know Afterglow. I’ve seen the damage he can cause before, and that will have to be our absolute last resort if it comes to it. But even if we defeat Blacklight, I fear a greater foe will rise over her defeat-”

“Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker will rise and working as a team. I know.” Celestia looked at Afterglow confused. “Blacklight came to the exact conclusion. Know of how she needs to be defeated, the power used to defeat her will create enough energy to revive them.”

“We must stay on guard no matter what. If they do come back, myself as well as my sister alone will not have enough magic to defeat them. Knowing Razor, he’ll find a way without getting himself killed. He always does.”

[Everfree Forest]

With Golden Oak by his side, Razor Edge walks through the Everfree Forest with multiple thoughts on his mind, but one in particular that wouldn’t leave. How Luna, the Princess of the Moon and younger sister of his wife, just went missing. This isn’t just, no…couldn’t be a coincidence. Something had to happen. Even with the girls and Princess Cadence. Golden Oak nudged his side, snapping him out if his thoughts.

“Sorry girl, I just have a lot on my mind. I feel responsible for the disappearance of Luna. All I was trying to do was help…and she’s gone. My actions to help caused a member of a family to go missing. My wife’s sister. There has to be a way to find her without having to dig.” Deep voice spoke from the tree’s surrounding him. Golden Oak started growling as her eyes turned green, glaring at a pair of red eyes in the darkness.

“Who said you have to dig around when someone already knows?” Razor quickly pulls out the 3 foot Falchion Sword from his trench coat. “Calm down. We don’t have to be enemies.” Walking out from the shadows, King Sombra reveals himself wearing his red cape with an outline by white feathers and black spots. “At least, I don’t think so.” Golden Oak continues growling, but stops when Razor places a hoof on her head. “You have a pet Timberwolf. Interesting. So what others say about you is true-”

“Who the fuck are you and what the hell do you want?” Sombra smiles, walking slightly closer to Razor.

“I heard that the Princess of the Moon is missing. Quite a shame. I do care for her since she was willing to give me a chance years ago. I would hate to see or hear something happened to her before she’s found. You may call me King Sombra, and I want to help you find her.” Razor looked at Sombra confused, slowly placing away his Falchion Sword. “That is, with a condition of course.”

“And that would be?”

“One simple thing. Full access of the Canterlot Castle.”

“And why would I think about considering that? I already know what you can do and what damages you’ve done before. If Celestia sees you, she’ll kill you on the spot and I won’t stop her.” Sombra’s smiled faded. “Yeah, I know you. You enslaved crystal ponies, had multiple attempts to steal the crystal heart, mind raped all of Ponyville, destroyed the Tree of Harmony, almost killed Cadence…shall I continue?” Sombra snorted and looked away. “You want to help cause you said you said to care about Luna. With a heart as black as yours, you don’t care about anyone besides yourself and your own satisfaction. You never cared for Luna, or anyone for that matter. All you want is power. You want that, you’re gonna have to do a hell of a job stealing that while I’m around, you psychotic demonic-” Sombra quickly pulled out a 4 foot Longsword and charged at Razor, talking a swing at him for a strike. Razor blocked Sombra’s strike with his Falchion Sword and ended up knocking the sword out of Sombra’s hooves, lodging it into a tree close by. Sombra froze, realizing how quick Razor was as the Falchion Sword was at Sombra's neck. “Go ahead, try me. I dare you.” Sombra stayed still until Razor moved the sword away seconds later. “Good choice.” Golden Oak growled at Sombra as he stood straight up. “Easy girl. He won’t hurt you.” Sombra smiled and started walking away into the shadows of the forest.

“The choice is yours. Just to let you know, I already know where Luna is being held, but you’re gonna need a lot more than your pet and instincts to find her. Such a shame how the husband of a goddess of the sun doesn’t care for help…but only for blood-” Razor charged at Sombra while he was already in the shadow.

“Shut your fucking mouth!” He swung his sword, but Sombra was already gone. Razor slammed his sword into the soil in frustration. “Dammit!” He stood there in silence for 5 seconds, then yanked out the sword, placing it back in his trench coat. “The coward left. He couldn’t’ve gotten far.” He looked up at the full moon brightening the sky. “We’ve been out for too long. I’m sure Celestia is awake and concerned about us.” Razor turned back towards Golden Oak, walking back to her and hopping onto her back. “Let’s go back.” Golden Oak started walking towards the hospital until they both heard a scream 3 seconds later coming from deeper in the forest. “Change of plans girl.” Golden Oak already knew what that meant. She darted through the Everfree forest towards the source of the scream, as they both heard glass shattering and metal clanging louder the closer they got, then it went to silence. Golden Oak stopped by small hut. Both her and Razor saw 3 Timberwolves on the ground with smoke coming from them, like they were burned alive. Razor jumped off running towards the hut pulling out his Falchion Sword. Crashing through the door, he saw a grey stallion with a black strap around his waist and 2 more black straps across his back reaching from his shoulders to the opposite side of his waist in an X form. 2 leather scabbards swords is each, with both leather handles sticking out. He was over a Zebra mare with his fangs into her neck. He released her, seeing the Zebra’s eyes roll into the back of her head when she hit the ground. Blood was pouring out from her neck as her coat turned a lighter color. The stallion turned back with blood covering his mouth, freezing when he saw Razor. “Coldblade?”

Coldblade looked back at the Zebra, then back a Razor.

“I can explain-” Razor charged at Coldblade and swung the sword for a strike. Coldblade quickly pulled out 2 Scimitar Swords and blocked Razors attack, slightly throwing him back. “Look, were both vampire ponies. We need to feed off the living to live. That’s our nature.” Razor charged at Coldblade again, fighting him for 10 seconds until the both jumped back trying to catch their breath. “It’s just how we are. You should know that by now.” Razor didn’t care to listen. He charged once more, striking again and harder than last time. After another 10 seconds, both swords were knocked out of Coldblades hooves and he fell back on the ground. The Falchion Sword was slammed right above his head, but didn’t slam into the ground. Razor stomped his foot on Coldblades chest making him cough up blood.

“Talk! And don’t give me any nature bullshit! What the hell are you doing here?!” Coldblade didn’t say anything, but was heavily breathing. Razor moved his foot up to Coldblades neck, pressing hard enough to where he could barely breathe. “Last time I’m gonna fucking say it…TALK!” Coldblades body instantly turned black and his whole form changed. His bloody fangs were now green. His eyes changed to red, and his swords disappeared changing into a red cape with an outline by white feathers and black spots. “Sombra?” Glaring at Razor, Sombra coughed up blood again before he spoke.

“What a great displeasure to see you again.” Razor pressed his foot down harder on Sombra’s neck. “Alright, I’ll talk.” Releasing some pressure on his neck, Sombra started speaking. “Not much else I can do anyway. You fucked up my horn.” Razor looked up at it and realized why the sword didn’t hit the ground. It pierced Sombra’s horn close to the base. “I had to come out here anyway. I just happened to run into you by accident. Someone you know of the name of Sapphire sent me here. Her servant caught me trying to spy on them and see what they were up to. I got offered a deal.”

[Flashback]

“Relax; I’m not going to punish you, if you can help me with something.” Blacklight removed the ball gag, allowing him to breath. Sapphire came from the hallway behind him, taking place for Blacklight. “We know you hate the ponies like us. You would do anything to gain power over them. That power is all in your grasp, if you can do something for us. In the Everfree forest, there’s a small hut with a Zebra that lives there. She has a book of potions that I’m in need of, but am unable to get due to leaving quite a mess when I leave. I want you to get that for me. If she refuses-” a needle with glowing green fluid is injected into Sombra’s neck by Coldblade. “Give her a little bite.” Sombra fall on the ground, struggling to break free of his binds and gagging, like he’s loosing oxygen. Seconds later, there was silence. Coldblade grabbed Sombra’s mane holding him up as blood drip from his mouth and fangs grew in place of 2 teeth. “This is a mind control poison. It doesn’t affect you, but whoever you bite will be under my control, and they’ll stay that way until I have passed, not that I’m planning to anytime soon. Once I rule over Equestria, I’ll keep the ones who helped the most and kill off the others who I despise.” Coldblade let go of Sombra’s mane and pushed him down, letting his head drop to the floor. 3 seconds later, the rope tied around Sombra’s hooves snapped. He opened his eyes, and removed himself up off the floor. He touched one of his fangs, feeling how sharp it was. “It’ll take some time getting used to, but you’ll be fine.”

“What’s in it for me?” Sapphire looked back at Sombra with a glare. When Coldblade saw, he backed away.

“Yeah, I asked you. What do I get for putting myself out there, possibly running into some pony and probably putting myself into danger to get ponies to serve you. What’s in it for me?” Sapphire smiled, seeing Blacklight slowing walking towards him.

“Satisfaction, blood, and revenge on the innocent. Also, who said they’d just serve me?” Sombra’s expression changed to confusion.” Yes, I’ll need someone to rule by my side. That injection had some of my blood, but you bit them. If you want to be a King, you shall complete this task. The more ponies that serve us, the more we rule over Equestria. My only satisfaction from this, is killing a vampire pony that goes by the name Razor Edge. Husband of Princess Celestia. If you need to look out for anyone, it’s him. Brown coat, white collared shirt, black button up dress shirt, red tie. He’s a hell of a fighter. After I kill him and Sapphire disposes of the wife, you can have what you want, within reason of course. Just retrieve the book, and your throne shall be waiting. You’re gonna need to disguise yourself as well just in case you do run into someone.” Sombra grins, making his horn shine and change his appearance to look like Coldblade. “That should do.”

[Reality]

“All I need is the book. The Timberwolves I killed with my magic. The Zebra refused and attack me. She didn’t give me another choice.” Razor glared daggers at Sombra, deciding on whether to kill him or not. “If this changes anything, I wasn’t even going to serve her. You don’t know how I work, but it’s not with alliances. I’ll make her think she has power. Once she gets close enough, I’ll kill her and won’t leave a trace. The others will serve me. All who oppose me will be slaughtered, even that little bitch who thinks she knows how to run shit-” Razor pressed his foot down harder, seeing Sombra trying to move it with his hooves to get oxygen.

“That little bitch happens to be my sister. If you even think about hurting her, I’ll eat your heart.” Razor removes the Falchion Sword and slams it into the wooden floor next to Sombra’s head. He also removes his foot off of Sombra, grabs his mane and drags him over towards the door. Doing a whistle, Golden Oak rushes over. “I brought you a toy to play with.” Grabbing the middle of Sombra’s cape from behind, he tosses him out the door. Golden Oak catches him in mid-air, hearing Sombra scream as Razor walks back to Zecora, seeing her up to her hooves and knees and slightly moving. “Zecora.” He rushes over to her, placing his hoof on her back, but is thrown back to the other side of the hut. Quickly getting up, Zecora is already on her feet. “Zecora!” She slowly looks back, seeing her eyes completely black, fangs dripping with green fluid, and bat like wings spread from her back. “No.” Zecora turned back forward, seeing the book of potions on the floor with some blood covering it. She felt the side of her neck, feeling where the bite marks were. Not paying much attention to it, she picked up the book and wiped the blood off of it. “Zecora?” she smiled.

“I kept this book safe and out of danger in sight. There shall be no danger if it’s brought to Blacklight.”

“No!” Razor charges at her, but she quickly moves out of the way next to the doorway. “Zecora, you’re not thinking straight. If you bring it to her, ponies will die. All races will be extinct. Equestria will be in ruins.”

“You see my child, that’s where you’re wrong. For it has been a plan for all along. Equestria needs to be rightfully run, and Blacklight knows what needs to be done. Trust me young pony, the book is in my control. She needs to be shown how to conquer a soul. This it true peace, for Equestria originally sucked. We will meet again, when ponies are officially fucked.” Zecora spread her wings and flew out with the book in her grasp. Razor ran towards the door, but she was nowhere in sight. Golden Oak was sitting 10 feet from the doorway with a piece of Sombra’s cape in her mouth. She dropped it and walked over to Razor, who had a look of fear on his face. Golden Oak nudged him, concerned about the well-being of her owner. He hopped on Golden Oaks back, both heading towards the hospital through the Everfree Forest. Razor knew something, and it could impact all of Equestria if something didn’t happen here and now. He couldn’t let it out of his mind. Whatever it was, he knew it would hurt his family in Equestria, and he didn’t want it to go too far. Golden Oak ran faster past the trees in the darkness of the night sky, trying to get to the hospital as fast as she could. Within minutes, they were towards the opening where they could see the town. Golden Oak increased her speed, but dropped to the ground accidentally throwing off Razor. Landing on his feet, he went back towards Golden Oak, stopping in front of her and seeing her eyes halfway shut. He looked past her, seeing 6 poison darts inserted into her legs. She groaned, getting Razors attention.

“If you think I’m leaving you, you’re wrong. I raised you like my own child and I refuse to leave you like this.” Golden Oak slightly lifted her head and licked him. Her head dropped back down, as her eyes slowly closed. A tear escaped Razor’s eye as he placed his hoof on her head for the last time, gently petting her. “Rest now my child.” After 5 seconds, he stood up, glaring into the darkness of the Everfree Forest. Someone was in there and would’ve had to shot her, but who? Questions were mentally pushed aside as multiple poison darts were shot past him. As much as he wanted to stay and kill whoever killed Golden Oak, he had to get back to the others. He turned and ran off towards the town, seeing many darts fly past him. Some of them got close enough that they brushed against his coat and sliced open his skin. Feeling pain from the multiple cuts he got, he ignored it to get to his destination. Flying would get there faster, but that would currently be too risky. Turing into the black mist would help him not get hit, but he would slow down. He continued to run for 10 minutes, unaware the darts stopped flying past him 7 minutes ago. He didn’t care. He had one thing on his mind…get to the others. As he ran through the town, he left a light trail of blood behind him from the multiple cuts he got. He didn’t bother to heal himself, he just kept running. Running out of anxiety, desperation, and worst of all…fear. He was deeply scared for the first time in his life as a vampire pony. Golden Oak dying, seeing what happened to Zecora, meeting Sombra for the first time. Something wasn’t right at all. This couldn’t be just a coincidence. Some pony was watching him closely, and he had to find out soon. He saw the building of the hospital 5 minutes later and flew towards the window of the room every pony was in. Luckily, it was open and he could see Afterglow staring outside. When she noticed him, she stepped out of the way as he flew through, tumbling on the ground and hitting the door. Celestia looked over at him, seeing a line of blood reaching towards the door. He quickly got up, revealing the cuts all over him. Celestia opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by Razor. “Don’t worry about me Tia. I have to tell you all something.” His vision started to blur as he began his first words, heavily breathing and using the wall to keep his balance. “Sombra…working with Blacklight. Zecora changed. Golden Oak died. A curse is spreading…a curse…is…” It went to silence as he dropped on the ground out cold.

[20 Minutes Later]

In a separate room, Celestia was sitting on the hospital bed Razor was resting in, stroking his mane while he was unconscious on his stomach. She looked over his back, seeing he was pierced 3 times with the poison darts, but cut multiple over his arms legs, sides, and even his neck. She was worried about who would do this to him, but more worried about his condition. Being through so much after a short period of being back…she was worried he wouldn’t last much longer. The door of the room opened quietly and in came Afterglow. Closing and locking the door behind her, she walked over, stopping on the opposite side of the bed of Celestia and standing next to a small tray of 3 poison darts the were taken out of Razors back. Celestia didn’t look up. She kept her attention on Razor.

“Princess?” Celestia looked up with an expression of depression an anxiety. “Redheart said he’ll be fine. He just has to rest for a while and let his wounds heal.” Celestia looked back down at Razor, continuing to stoke his mane. “You feel guilt of this situation, don’t you?” A tear fell from Celestia’s face.

“Why shouldn’t I? My sister’s missing, my husband is hurt, and my cadence as well as 3 Elements of Harmony were poisoned. It was my duty to watch over ponies as a Princess…but I failed.” More tears ran down Celestia’s face. “I failed to protect the ones I cared for.”

“You can’t really believe that. It’s literally impossible for you to fail.” Celestia looked back up at Afterglow. “That’s not a joke. Trust me, everything happens for a reason. No pony is dead, your kingdom is still standing, and your sister as well as your subjects always depends on you no matter what. After everything you’ve been through, every war you had to fight, every life you had to save even if it meant sacrificing your own…everyone still believes in you. They never lost faith in you, and they won’t.” Celestia smiled, wiping the tears away from her face. “I can guarantee your sister is waiting to see your face again. You’re the first pony she wants to see. You’re her family, and family wants to keep their family safe.”

“…thank you Afterglow.”

“It’s a little thing I learned from someone special. And besides, Pinkie, Dash, AJ and Cadence are up and waiting to see you.” They both looked down at Razor, seeing still unconscious. Afterglow turned her attention towards the darts. “Wait a second.” She picked one up, inspecting it closer.

“Poison darts. Those 3 were in his back only ¼ way in. not enough to kill him, but to drain his energy.”

“Not just any poison darts. These are designed in a different way. Made to kill anything as big as an adult dragon. It’s very fortunate that he won’t die. He was cut multiple times by my guess passing darts, but only has 3 barely in his back. That’s not enough for the poison to spread and kill him. Whoever shot him with these wasn’t trying to kill him. I easily can tell.”

“How so?”

“Well first off, he would’ve had more in his back with a lot more blood loss. Secondly, ¾ of the darts would’ve been in his back and he wouldn’t be able to speak. Third, he wouldn’t be here. This kind of poison on these are used to slow down the energy of the prey before they have a chance to escape.”

“How do you know so much of these darts and the poison?”

“…my husband taught me everything about his creations before he died. He was the first to ever use these on an enemy. It was a success on its ability. After Blacklight killed him, she stole these from his personal possessions and used them for her own pleasure. She never used them until now, which is what I’m questioning. Why would she use them now instead of before?” It was quite as they both thought about it, until Afterglow spoke up. “Celestia, my husband died a year ago in this month. Blacklight always said someone will return on the 12th full moon of the year. Stronger, smarter, and deadly. What moon is it tonight?” They both look out the window seeing a full moon brighten the sky.

“Oh my god.”

“Celestia, be ready to take Razor to the castle.” Afterglow ran out of the room and down the hall where the others were. Slamming the door open, everyone looked over at her in shock. “Guys, we’ve got a situation. A very deadly situation.”

[521 Endgate Blvd]

In the large underground concrete room, Luna was working on what seemed to be a transmitter. Sapphire stood behind with a whip wrapped around her hoof, ready to strike her for any disobedience. Blacklight entered inside with a tablet in her magic, looking over potions to mix for antidote and poison. She closed the book when she stepped next to Sapphire, seeing Luna working. Sapphire smiled.

“Progress is being made. She’s learning well, and it looks like she’s almost done with this.” Blacklight made the book disappear. “How’s everything on your end?”

“We have some visitors.” Sapphire looked over at the entrance, seeing a vampire pony Zebra holding a book in her grasp. Next to her is a dark hooded pony holding 2 Pneu Dart Guns in his magic. Behind him was Coldblade, holding one of his Scimitar Swords over his shoulder. Next to him on his knees and held by his mane was Sombra. Beaten half to death with scars, bruises and blood covering his body. Sapphire looked at him in shock. “Apparently he was attacked by a female Timberwolf under the control of Razor Edge. As you see, the damage he took is quite…critical. If Coldblade didn’t get him in time, he would’ve been a snack for it.” Sapphire grinned, as Sombra was pushed past the others and on the ground. Struggling to move, he was able to barely hold himself up on his knees. Blacklight walked over to him, seeing the damage that was done. “A king can’t look like this.” Coldblade intervened with a voice of irritation.

“With all due respect Blacklight, he can’t be a king.” Blacklight looked up at Coldblade with a grin. “You can’t trust him. He was gonna betray you and kill off anyone who wouldn’t obey under his rule.”

“Such a harsh accusation Coldblade.”

“It’s not an accusation if you if there’s proof. I watched and heard everything.” Flipping his sword upside down, he revealed a button on the bottom of it. “My other was recording the whole thing while I waited on the roof. He disguised himself as me.” He pressed the button, hearing an audio recording of the incident in the Everfree Forest.

“All I need is the book. The Timberwolves I killed with my magic. The Zebra refused and attack me. She didn’t give me another choice. If this changes anything, I wasn’t even going to serve her. You don’t know how I work, but it’s not with alliances. I’ll make her think she has power. Once she gets close enough, I’ll kill her and won’t leave a trace. The others will serve me.

All who oppose me will be slaughtered, even that little bitch who thinks she knows how to run shit-” Razor pressed his foot down harder, seeing Sombra trying to move it with his hooves to get oxygen.

“That little bitch happens to be my sister. If you even think about hurting her, I’ll eat your heart.” “The recording ended as Blacklight looked down at Sombra, seeing him weak and helpless. He looked up at her with an expression of sorrow.

“Trust is a big thing where I come from Sombra. I was going to let you rule as king by my side, but you were going to kill me?” Sombra shook his head no. “I’ve heard enough of this.” Using her magic, she bring over a large double sided axe. Grabbed by his mane by Coldblade, he was dragged over to a metal table by Luna. He didn’t fight back. He couldn’t. His horn was ruined, he was losing blood by the second, and his whole body felt weak. Barely able to move his head, he saw Luna walking over to him with the axe in her hooves. Standing above him now, he looked at her and smiled. Barely able to speak, he said his last words to her.

“The night…will last…forever.” Luna smiled.

“Oh I know…but your eternity came early.” Sombra closed his eyes as Luna raised the axe over her head…then slammed it down on Sombra’s neck cutting off his head. As blood poured out, Luna’s smile turned into an evil grin as she lifted the axe and licked a long line of blood from it. Blacklight came over, covering his body with a tarp using her magic. Once it was completely covered, she walked back to the other 3, leaving it in Luna’s possession.

“You know what to do Luna.” Luna used her magic to make herself, the body and the head disappear. Blacklight next to Sapphire met with the others. “Luna took it to the junkyard. I applaud you Coldblade for warning me about this. No wonder you an expert in spying. I shall reward you after I take care some business.” Coldblade smiled, walking away back towards the main part of the house. Once they heard the door close, Blacklight looked at the Zebra Vampire Pony. “I don’t believe we’ve officially met-” Sapphire interrupted, cutting the conversation short.

“Fuck introductions, let’s get this shit done.” Zecora gave the book to Blacklight. With her magic, she opened it, flipping through pages as a smile increased bigger on her face. “If that’s what you need, go do what you have to.” Blacklight closed the book and proceed out of the basement, grabbing Zecora’s wrist and pulling her along. Once the door closed again, there was only Sapphire and the hooded pony left. There was a long silence until sapphire broke it 10 seconds later. “So you’re the one Blacklight talked about?” The pony removed his hood, revealing his white coat, grey mane and tail, dark blood red eyes, and a row of razor sharp teeth. “I’m guessing you heard the objective?” He spoke, with a demonic voice that could give Satan a scare.

“I know what must be done. Kill the mare, leave the stallion to you.”

“And kill any pony who gets in your way. I expect you to get this done, done right and as you’re ordered to do. Remember, you’re just an assassin currently. You’ll get your prize once it comes and we have everything we need. I assume you won’t have a problem disposing her knowing your history, Bloodbath?”

“Of course not. After all, I know my wife too well.”

Author's Note

I apologize for posting this very late. I had other duties to attend to and had to put this off to the side for a little while. Well, here's the 5th chapter and I hope you enjoy it.
