Prologue: Twilight

Prologue: Twilight

In the plans of the crystal empire near the entrance was a head of a stallion and a head of a mare but in crystal both where impaled on pikes. They were Prince Shining Armor and Princes Cadance. Cadance head was still a face of horror as when see saw the King Sombra ripped off her husband's head off. Sombra turned Cadance in to crystals just like Amore and she shared the same fate, all was left was of Cadance was her head her body was thousands of shards. Shining Armor try to defeat the King of Shadows but he die, in fear. Fear for his wife. Fear for his sister, and her friends. For all of Equestria.

Three days later.

Twilight was crying. She feel alone and forgotten. She prayed that her friend are alright. She hope they will get Princess Celestia and Luna. She hope this was a nightmare, a dream but it was not. But she had 'that memory' of.. of her brother.

"Shinny.." she whimpered. Warm tears flow from her eye to her cheeks. The memories of King Sombra ripping her brothers head off his body with his magic and slamming it down on a pike came rushing back. "C.. Cadance." Another memory of her sister in-law and foalsitter being turn in to crystal by King Sombra with that flash of light then shader in pieces. It was a odd spell that Twilight questioned and how strong was King Sombra's hooves where if he can destroy a pony that was turn in to crystal by stomping the ground one of his hooves. But she refused they where dead. She wanted to go and hug the head of her brother. But she was locked in a dungeon tower, chained, and locked up.

The last of crystal ponies residents was gone since King Sombra came back and he is planning to open the shadow prison that is under the empire. Although he wanted to wait he had 'unfinished business to attend'. A mare that will not accept her defeat. A mare that cries on end to end only to sleep and then cry more. He mocking her on her defeat and how she shouldn't trust a dragon with the crystal heart. But today was different.

"Just kill me already... please." She begged to him.

King Sombra gave her a dark, sadistic laugh in reply. "Then we will miss out all the fun. After all. I have a special plans for you, Twilight Sparkle." He point at her when he said 'you'.

That sent a shiver down her spine, thinking about what he had planned in his mind for the future. All that mattered, thought, was her friends and spike where safe. She hoped they get to Princess Celestia and Luna. So they can end Sombra and rescue her.

"Princess Celestia will rescue me." Twilight said defiantly. Tears brimming her eyes.

"Sweet Twilight." Sombra crooned chillingly. "She's yet to even to show up, and I'm was surprise of that. When I first took the empire from Princess Amore, She came in minutes to inprison me. What makes you think she will come for you."

"Because I am her favorite student!" Twilight said proudly.

"Really now." Sombra mused. For a pony to be a student of Celestia's is meant that they are worthy. Possibly powerful. And now he knows that Celestia had more that one student. Sombra smiled. "Young mare." he chuckled. "I could teach you magic when my master showed me how to control the magic that my mother gave me. The magic I can teach you is far older of that alicorn."

Twilight Sparkle's eye widened with anger. "Don't you FUCKING dare insult the princess like that." she roared, "And I will never join you! I would rather die by your hands that betray the princess, and I don't think you master is powerful that the princess!!"

King Sombra had to should the last think that his master gave him when he died. But he was smiling of how angry she was. "My master was the great emperor of all he saw, Lord Grogar." He pull out Grogar's bell. "It still has his magic in it before he died. And it has your brother's and sister in-law's magic too."

Twilight was shaking in fear, she read about Grogar and he was dead for a long time. Sombra saw the defiance in her eye and a bit of fear. He sighed deeply. "Perhaps, we have a lot of training ahead of us." The King then grinned darkly. Sadisticly. "Let's see how long it will takes for a mare like you to break." His blood red crystal horn started to glow red at the tip and hands glow red too.

Twilight could only scream as she endured her worst nightmare over and over. Seeing the same disappointment look on Princess Celestia's face would forever embed itself in her mind. King Sombra enjoyed ever second of the younger unicorn's cries and suffers. He focused hard to break her will. Making the nightmare spell to seem more real. Twilight covered her head with her hands. Curling up on the cold, unforgiving floor and screamed at the top of her lungs while tears coursed down her face. King Sombra eventually stopped after a half-hour to rest.

"My.." he panted, "You're a strong mare. aren't you?"

Twilight weakly opened her eyes; both were puffy and red from the crying she's done. She slowly got on her hooves. "I... will... never break.. to.. you..." She said weakly, "P.. Princess... Celestia... will come for me.. and... end you. You'll see."

King Sombra smirked. He couldn't help but admire on her strong will. "I can assure you. She will never come to save you." He said as he got close to her "If your 'friends' can survive the north's terrain, that is."

"M-my friends will get to her! You'll see! Princess Celestia and the Royal Guard will come and stop you!"

"Mmm." King Sombra stared at the young mare. This was going to take much longer then he originally intended. He needed a pony will powerful magic to open shadow prison so his people can be free. It can't be a Royal Umbrum alone, it had to be a powerful unicorn or an Alicorn and a Royal Umbrum. "It appears I have a lot of work to do with you.." he murmured. He Then narrowed his crimson irises toward the young mare and grinned darkly. "Let us begin round two of your 'lessons', then." He chuckled as his blood red crystal horn started to glow red at the tip once more.

...
Princess Celestia, nor her friends, never came, However

(CH1) Gray Sky

Author's Note

Warning: Sorry if you don't like to cry, this chapter is sad.

(CH1) Gray Sky

The sky was gray over all of Equestria.

Rainbow Dash glided down to Canterlot, and landed on the cobblestone street. She is wearing a black shirt, black pants and black hoof shoes. The only time she wears black as it did not match her mare and fur. She walked amongst the other ponies that lived in Canterlot, who were dressed in black. All of whom had a mournful expression on their face. A few with tears in their eyes. Rainbow Dash had a neutral expression. But it didn't hide the anguish she felt storming inside of her.

Like rough waves crashing against large rocks during a bad storm at sea. She refused to shed a single tear until she arrived at her destination. Which is the same destination every other pony was heading to. All of the stores and businesses were closed for the day. Signs saying "Closed" hung on the doors as the as the owners quietly walked along with the other residents ponies. Rainbow Dash never liked the big cities, she felt like she was being watched.

...

There was a location in Canterlot that was rarely been used. A spot that looks over all of Equestria. At least, the areas you could see. You can see the Everfree Forest, Cloudsdale , and Ponyville. A sea of gray blanketed the sky. Darkening the landscape in a gloomy setting that would be fit for a sad film. Ponies for all species were seating in the chairs that were available. The trees surrounding them were decorated mostly black ribbons, there where some of purple and blue with pink. Three separates portraits were standing at the front surrounded by a variety of flowers. The left portrait feature Shining Armor; grinning and dressed in his Canterlot Royal Guard armor. In the Middle one featured Princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Princess Cadance; she was dressed in her royal attire. The one on the right featured Twilight Sparkle; in that portrait it should her in a blue button up shirt with a purple skirt that has her cutie mark on it. She was surrounded by books and smiling sweetly.

Rainbow Dash spotted her friends sitting at a part of the front row that was specially reserved for them. Pinkie Pie was dressed in a black dress with a black rose corsage in her hair. Applejack wore a black shirt with black jeans, she wore a black bandana around her neck and she was not wearing her hat she had it in her lap. Her head bowed respectfully. Fluttershy wore a black gown decorated in black ribbons; a black ribbon tied around her neck as well. She seemed to be on the brink of tears. Rarity was dressed in a long black dress and had a few black bows in her elegant, and her purple hair. Spike was sitting beside her wearing a suit with a black bowtie around his neck. Tears already brimming his eyes.

Rainbow Dash quietly took the empty seat by Pinkie Pie. Rainbow spotted somepony setting behind her it was Prince Blueblood, she thought to herself 'what is he doing here'. He had a red rose in his hand and wore a black suit and a black bowtie. He was crying? The normally Pinkie Pie seemed to acknowledge her presence, but said not a word. None of them did. Rainbow looked to the row on her right and spotted Twilight and Shining's family. Their mother weeping heavily while their father had his arms wrapped around her in comfort. But he too seemed to be reaching his breaking point.

The Royal guards where present, there as they where some rifle stallion and one of them had a trumpet. The new Royal guard Caption Iron Hoof was just a lieutenant, now he is caption. He was Shining Armor's best friend.

Princess Celestia and Luna were standing at the front over looking the crowed. Like the rest they wore black. Celestia raised her head and opened her eye, which were filled with sorrow. "Let the service commence." she said in an even voice. Trying to fight back the tears that threatened to fall. Every pony present lifted their heads up to the Alicorn sisters.

Celestia took a moment to swallow before speaking. "Today we are here to remember the lives of three very brave and heroic ponies: Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Twilight.. Sparkle.."

Rainbow Dash closed her eyes sadly. Remembering the entire incident back in the Crystal Empire a week prior to this. Witnessing King Sombra destroying the tower where Twilight was last seen in before their very eyes, and seeing the death of Princess Cadance. How Shining Armor suddenly went berserk and ordered them to flee the Crystal City while he attacked Sombra viciously.

'Maybe.. I could've done something,' Rainbow Dash thought to herself. But she knew that there was nothing she could've done to save Twilight. Even if she tried.

"Mow... we may begin the speeches..." Celestia said before she walked over and stood by her sister.

Night Light and Twilight Velvet were the first to go. They stood before the crowd of ponies who gathered for the service. Night Light mustered whatever mental strength he had left and spoke. "First of all, my wife and I would like to thank Princess Celestia and Luna for holding this service for our children and daughter-inlaw. Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor and Cadance were... very good ponies. Twilight and Shining were the greatest thing that's ever happened to my wife and myself. And... for what that monster, Sombra, did to our children... I hope he is brought to justice!"

The Royal Guards couldn't get to the empire as the weather was strong and it was like the empire had disappeared. That means that Sombra destroying the Crystal Heart. But with the help Twilight Sparkle's friends being witnesses they knew that the Captain of the Royal Guard can't fight a pony with that power. But they did found the pikes heads of Cadance's and Shining Armor's the new was horror to every pony in Equestria, Twilight Velvet would come out of the bathroom form hearing that.

Spike walked up "Twilight was like a mother to me." He whimpered, "S-she was my best friend. I love working with her. I-I miss you, Twi.. W-why did you had to go!?" Spike went to his and cried. Burying his face into his little hands. It took the help of Rarity for him to walk back to his seat.

Next up was Applejack "Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor and Cadance were great ponies I've ever met." she said griping her hat. " Twi, if ya hear up there, know that you'll always have a place in my heart sugar-cube. Rest in peace."

Rarity came up. "Before Twilight Sparkle, I didn't have many friend. But because of her, I was blessed with the gift of friendship. Plus I was able to meet a very special dragon: Spike." Rarity then turned her attention at the gray sky. Tear rolling down her beautiful face and messing her makeup a bit. "Twilight... I don't think I've ever said this..., but thank you. Thank you for everything."

Pinkie was next, but her face looked like she was about to explode it tears. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!" She Burying her hands in her face and got back to her seat.

When it came Fluttershy's turn, the shy pegasus found herself unable to control her emotions and cried on the spot. Balbbering gibberish that no one could understand.

Eventually it was Rainbow Dash's turn. The normally tough, strong pegasus stood before the crowd with shaking legs. Her voice cracking as she spoke. "T-Twilght Sparkle wasn't just a friend.... she was like a sister to me. We both had our differences... but I loved her like family!" She then looked up in the sky "Twilight if you can her me, I will make Sombra pay for what he did to you, your brother, and sister-inlaw." she then seat down to her see, she place her hand on Pinkie as she was still crying.

Suddenly Prince Blueblood stood before the crowed. "I knew these ponies that played down there lives on that day." he looked at Shining's portrait "Shining Armor was more that a good guard pony , he was like a bother to me." Then looking at Cadance's portrait. "Princess Cadance was my adopted cousin, she was more that that she was my sister, and.." He stated to tear up "foalsitter when she foalsitted I..l. saw a beautiful lavender filly." He looked the rose and then Twilight's portrait "T.. T.. Twilight Sparkle was my class mate in school and old friend. I was the one who gave the invitations to the gala that my aunt sent to her." He looked up the sky. "Twilight if you are listening... I... I love you, and you are the only mare that stolen my heart." He place the rose in front of Twilight's portrait. "My you rest with no pain." He then when back to his set.

Princess Luna stood up "Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor." She said whispered. "For a thousand years I've been on the moon. Watching the Earth as it change throughout history. I have seen ponies be born in this world, and then I see them leave. But these three did not deserve his fate. Twilight... If it weren't for her and her friends... I wouldn't be standing her today." Luna closed her eyes just as a tear rolled down the lunar princess's cheek. "Thank you... Twilight... I'll make sure that Sombra will be put to justice.. I can promise you that..."

Princess Celestia was the last to go. There was a brief moment of silence as she stared at everypony present. As if looking into their minds and souls. In a slightly cracked voice, she spoke. "Shining Armor will be remembered as a bravest stallion that sacrificed his live for Equestia history. Princess Cadance.. was.. more.. like a daughter to me.. ever if.. she was not related... in blood. As for Twilight Sparkle...." Celestia suddenly found herself struggling to speak a bit. Wave of emotions coming at her all of a sudden.

Luna looked as her sister and put her hand on her shoulder. "Sister?"

Celestia calmed down and smiled at her little sister. "Thank you, Luna." She said before continuing. "Twilight Sparkle was the greatest student I've ever had the pleasure to know. She devoted to not only her studies, but also her family and friends. And... she was just a student like the others pony I teach before.... She was like a daughter to me... I loved her like I did with Cadance. I sometimes saw her as one. Night Light and Twilight Velvet were blessed to have such an amazing daughter. And son, as well." Celestia then shot her head up and a determined look appeared on her face. "From this day forward! I will do all it takes to bring the wrath of the sun to Sombra! All of Equestria will make sure that Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor will not die in vain!" She stomp her right hoof to the ground. Leaving a few small cracks.

At that moment, everypony shot up and cheered. Supporting Celestia's commitment. Celestia rasied her hand and the everypony silenced immediately. "Now... we shall conclude the service with first the Royal guard 'Taps' to honor Shining Armor's serves. Then we will have a moment of silence."

As Celestia said that the Iron Hoof looked as his men. "Ready!" he said. the rifle men stood attention and aim there rifle in the air in a 45 degree angle. "Fire!" They fired the blanks, then the trumpeter play Taps. In the middle of the the Taps they fire again, and again. Then they where done, Iron Hoof walked to Twilight Velvet in his hands was a flag of Eqestria in a Triangle with medal on the top. He handed the flag the her. "Mrs. Velvet your son had served the highest honor, The Solar Star. Also he was my best friend and a brother in arms."

Twilight Velvet hold the flag a started to tear up again. "Thank you.." Iron hoof then walk back to his men. Then the moment of silence began.

Celestia looked at the portraits of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. "Sleep well,Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor..." whispered as her tears started to fall.

(CH2) Twilight's Sweet Pareidolia

Twilight yanked and pulled at the metal chain that was attached to the metal collar attached to her neck with her hands. She could use magic but with the null ring on her horn where was not used of that. She looked out of the window with crystal bars and saw nothing but white. The north storm was violent with lightning and cold, but never touched the city. She knew that some how King Sombra can control the north storm, she knew the crystal heart can do that but Sombra destroy it in front of her. She felt like Sombre's pet with being lock up.

Suddenly she herd some pony walking close to the her door. When the door open it was King Sombra in his armor. He smiled at her "My.." Sombra purred when he looked at her, "You look lovely in chains."

Twilight grunted before glaring dangerously at the tyrant. "As soon an I get outta here-!" Twilight yelped when she lost her balance and accidentally slipped onto the crystal floor. The dark king chuckled in amusement.

She's a tought mare. He thought to himself, as he continued to watch her fight with the chain. I've tried all of my nightmare spells, but none of them are strong enough to break her. It's no wonder she was able to last this long. I must try harder. She must see things my way...

Suddenly a idea came in his head Yes. He thought. I will should her what happen in canterlot, what I saw. He smiled with this plan. Umbrum's can show members to other, its why we where know as the ponies of truth and knowledge. He looked at Twilight. The only way I'm going to break her is to show her the truth. A pony like her loves books and knowledge.

He looked at Twilight, she was still yanking her chain and fell on her back in exhaustion. Sombra smiled "Shall we begin today's lesson." he said as his horn lit up but not violently.

Twilight rolled her eyes "Oh joy." she spat sarcastically.

Sombra looked at her "You don't have to be like this way if you just give up on Celesita and join me. She will on come for you. No pony is brave to go out in this weather, the only pony has survived this is the one you are looking at."

"Y-You don't know that!" She protested at king.

"Oh, I do know, Twilight Sparkle. Let me show up." Sombra use his magic on Twilight.

Her eyes glow white, she felt no pain but she saw what looked like a funeral. She saw her friends. family and the princess. They where crying. She saw the center and saw the portrait. The left portrait feature Her brother; grinning and dressed in his Canterlot Royal Guard armor. In the Middle one featured Princess Cadance; she was dressed in her royal attire. The one on the right featured her; she was wearing the same outfit she worn when she when to the empire.

Sombra ended the spell, he looked at Twilight. her eye where back to normal and tears came from them.

"No." She said softly. "That's not true."

"O, yes it is Twilight." Sombra said "And it's been a month sense have came back at took my home of my people."

"You.. enslave your people." Twilight said.

"No." Sombra said. "I am not those ponies that raped and killed my people in that war of the north!" He said angrily as he got close to her "I am not a crystal pony. I am a Umbrum, a pony of shadows. My people when my mother was a princess, her Father and Mother ruled the lands in peace and I have taken it back. From all of the crystal mountain, to the area you ponies call Rainbow Falls but it was call Crystal Falls. We umbrum's created this storm with is why the crystal ponies need that amalgamation of a weapon."

Twilight looked at the king in anger was in her eyes. "The royal guard will find you and kill you."

"I have not see any guards in the north." King Sombra said. "They will not find you, Twilight Sparkle. You will join my side as my apprentice," He grabbed her neck "and my Queen. Your so call 'friends' care not nothing for you. Neither does you beloved mentor, she thinks that you and your brother and your sister in-law and your 'friends' are just pawns in her little game. The only pony that can control the sun, moon, and stars was Celestia when her sister was on the moon."

"SHUT UP!" Twilight screamed and slapped the tyrant and quickly covered her ears. "Just SHUT the FUCK up already!"

Sombra snapped. "You shall NEVER show disrespect towards ME!!!!"

Suddenly the storm got strong outside, as you can here the lightning getting louder. Twilight tried to put up a brave face, but found that she was too frightened to more a single muscle. Instead she crawled away from the enrage king until she curled herself up against the corner of her cell. Pressing against the cold walls and shielding her face with her hands.

"I will break you, Twilight." Sombra vowed. His eyes flashing green as light purple smoke flow from the corners of his eyes. "And I will use any means necessary to do so" His horn glowed before he struck her with the nightmare spell.

Twilight screamed from the agonizing pain that now coursed throughout her body. She was now enduring the same nightmare she's been having ever since her capture.

Princess Celesita with her white dress had a face that looked grim. She shook her head and looked away from her. Clearly disappointed by her failure. Twilight collapsed onto the carpeted floor and crying heavily. "You call yourself my student?" Celsetia scoffed as she narrowed her eyes at her. "Hmph. Some excuse for a student who can't do even one thing right."

"Princess! Please come back! I'm sorry! I'll try harder next time! I promise! Please don't leave me!"

Twilight wailed on the floor. Frantically crying out to someone who wasn't really there. Sombra grinned at his current results and forced more power into the spell. Hoping to add more effect in on the spell. Twilight suddenly screamed in sheer horror.

"No, Please! Princess Celestia! Please don't kick me out! I'll will try harder! Just give me another chance!"

Celestia narrowed her eyes in anger at Twilight and said, "No more chances, Twilight Sparkle! You are nearby no longer my student! I told you it was your final test and you failed it! You aren't even close to being worthy enough! I made my mistake even choosing you when I saw you the first day! You are weak! Useless! You're nothing but a useless filly! I can all was get another student!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Twilight screamed in despair as tears proceeded to flow from her closed eyes. She shot out her hands in a desperate attempt to reach for the alicorn that wasn't really there to begin with. Everything felt so real that Twilight was trouble defining if this is just another one of Sombre's tricks, or if this is the real deal. It was messing with her mind severely.

Sombra knew he was getting close to break her. He can feel the fear, loneliness, and despair from her. Soon he would have her by his side. He stated to at her she was beautiful to his eyes, strong, and the element of magic. The mere thought of just touching her sent a shiver down his spine. He wanted to get this done so she may be by his side.

...

A month has past.

Twilight had never felt so alone before in her life. She had lost a large amount of weight during her capture. Refusing to eat any food offered to her. It was only until Sombra threatened to force feed her that she decided to at least eat a bit of food. Her eyes were red from the crying she's endured during her secessions with Sombra. Dark rings formed underneath her eyes form lack of sleep.

You just won't accept it. Won't you?" Sombra sighed after a secession. Twilight layed on the floor. She looked at the tyrant with wet, tearful eyes.

"Why?" she asked, her voice now hoarse form all the screaming she's done during each secession. "Why me? Why do you do this to me. What did I do to deserve this?" More importantly, why hasn't Celestia come to save her?

Sombra approached the fallen mare and, to her surprise, gently brushed his hand against her long unkept mane. "I do this for your own good, Twilight." He said fondly as he continued to caress her. "You refuse to listen. You refuse to believe that Celestia and your friends have abandoned you for good."

Twilight looked at him and viciously ripped away form his gentle caresses and crawled back a few feet. "No.. you can torture me as long as you like... But I know Celesita has not given up on me. She'll never give up on me she loves me. She and my friends."

Something clicked in Sombra's head 'Yes her friends' he thought to himself. With a smirked evilly to himself. "Well, That's something a failure would say."

This caught Twilight's attention and she perked her ears up. "W-what are you saying?" she asked weakly.

Sombra smiled. "Think about it Celestia told you to find a way to protect the empire. That's what I got from your memories and I only looked at the ones what befit me."

Twilight remember what Celestia said 'In the end, it must be you, and you alone.' She was in a blank stare, she failed Celesita. Sombra was right. "Yes." she said. She looked at Sombra. "She said, In the end, it must be you...." Tears formed form her eyes "and you alone."

"Well. Clearly you have failed." Sombra said.

"I...I... Don't understand." She whimpered.

Sombra sighed deeply and thought to himself. 'One last time I know that she is closed. Just one more. I want her to just join, this sickens me.' He just needed one more of the secession that this will all be over. This time make her believe it's real. He casted the spell on Twilight screamed. It wasn't long until she found herself in a familiar situation.

Twilight found herself surrounded by her friends and family. Eveypony she knew in person. They were all giving her hateful and disappointed looks. Even Spike!

"Why, Twily?" Shining Amor asked coldly, "Why did you let me and Cadance die?"

"I-I didn't think.." Twilight struggled to speak.

"If it wasn't for you my husband and I won't be die by Sombra." Cadance hissed, "I should have drowned you when you where just a foal."

"Cadance, please!"

"It was a mistake ever meeting you, Twi!" Rainbow Dash snapped harshly. "All you've ever done was get us into dangerous situations that could kill us!"

"Yeah!" the others agreed in unison.

"Dash...Applejack...Rare...Fluttershy..Pinkie..."

"Hmph! You only see me as a slave, like Sombra! You just used me as an excuse to become Princess Celestia's student! Some mother you are!" Spike snapped bitterly.

"That's not true, Spike!" Twilight cried. 'Not Spike, anypony but Spike.

"You are a terrible excuse for a student!" Celesita said cruelly. Glaring hatefully at the frightened unicorn. "I had better students that you! Equestria is better off without you!"

Twilight gasped in sheer horror. Did she really just say that? Celestia of all ponies!?

"It's your fault that Cadanes and I are fucking dead!" Shining Armor yelled. Causing Twilight to recoil back in fear.

Twilight sudddenly felt something hit her. She fell to the ground. Bleeding from a wound in her face. She couldn't over and gasped when she saw Rainbow Dash standing in a attacking position. "That's for almost getting us killed all the time!" she hissed

"D-Dash..." Twilight felt the tears finally fall. "I-I thought we were best friends..."

"YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS." the five said in unison.

"No..NO!!" Twilight screamed in sheer denial. "This can't be happening!"

"You are just a tool in my game." Celesita said. "I released Nightmare Moon so I can have the elements." Celestia looked at Luna "Shall we get rid her, sister." Luna looked at Celestia. "I couldn't agree more, sister."

"No.." Twilight whispered.

The group started to approach her. All with a deadly look in their eyes. Celestia and Luna had a sinister grin on there face.

"NO...stop...please... STOOOOOP!!!"

Twilight try to shield herself she had no one to help. She knew Sombra was still there.

"Sombra!!! Help me, please!!" She begged for him to stop.

Sombra enter to the nightmare spell. He saw Twilight surrounded by the group as they where ready to beat her. Sombra cast a spell and destroy the group. With that Twilight was back in her cell. She placed her hands on her face, covering her eyes and cried. Sombra smiled softly and approached the broken unicorn. He finally broken her. Just like he wanted. He was surprised that she called out his name. Know he had to help her; he sat beside Twilight before removing his warm cape and placing it on her. Twilight snuggled at the soft, comforting fabric. The first comforting thing she felt since her capture. She then felt the steel collar on her neck fall off and his the ground.

She looked at Sombra and hug him. Sombra was surprise of that and then pulled her in his embrace. "Sweet Twilight.." He said softly. "Now do you believe me? The one you once saw as your friends, betrayed you. Because of Celesita and Luna. They care nothing for you. They've abandoned you."

Twilight whimpered loudly and pressed herself even closer to him. Sombra smiled and gently caressed her mane. "Don't worry, my dear. I'll never be like them. I will always be with you no matter what. I'm your only real friend."

Twilight sniffled and her loud sobs had been reduced into nothing but broken whimpers. Eventually, she gave in to exhaustion and fell asleep right in Sombra's arms. Wrapping in his warm, cozy cape. King Sombra smiled and gently brush his lips near her horn and pick her up. It would be long road to recovery for her. But all she needed was some food and rest on a comfy bed. And luckily for him, he knew just the bed to use. But he said to him self he will not take advantage of her.

Sombra looked at Grogar's bell and smiled. He was going to use it on him self but when he found Twilight, he will give the magic inside of it to her when she is ready. He was looking forward to the next step of his plan.

"Pareidolia" - A psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists.

I put my head canon theory of the Crystal Empire in the past before the crystal ponies

And she has been there for 2 months and now she is broken.

Sorry Twilight but I rather have you torture psychologically that physically. And no, Sombra's not going to take advantage of her . Sombra is good when he loves a mare he will let her decide that if you know what I mean. -.- :twilightblush:

(CH3) A Shimmer of Light

One mouth later.

The ancient archives storage in Canterlot, everything seemed to be quite we except the mice that call this place there home. There was thousands of artifacts and ancient history that Celestia and Luna keep safe here form the eye of the ponies, secrets that will never be told to anyone. The artifacts that are in here like the Celestia's and Luna's war armor it has not been use sense the day King Sombra first took the Crystal Empire. Next to it them are two mirrors, one is orange and one is blue. They when where doors to a another world. Celestia has been in the orange one, it was a world of opposite of this world. The blue was not explore, as Celestia did not want to interfere with this the mirror worlds. But something is wrong with the blue one, it waved like water. Suddenly a pony came out her mane and tail looked like fire, her fur was light orange. She was a unicorn. She was wearing a leather black jacket and a orange with her cutie mark. She had a dark orange skirt with a pick and yellow strip, she had black hoove shoes.

She got up and rubbed her head as she looked her. "This is not where I once was in when I was in that human world, Celesita might just moved it here in, the archives. Great." She said hoping to find a was out.

She spotted the armor. "I hope that was not used by them. Well they may have too if Celestia had to in a thousand years ago to defeat King Sombra."

She soon walked want try to find the exit, the place was like a maze. There was thousand of books and scrolls that date back before the founding of the nation of Equestria. Some where two thousand years old that socket the mare. "Wow thats old, thousand years old book of 'The History of The Shadow Crystal Empire'. Odd that doesn't seem right." She said.

Next to it was 'The Northern Crusade, End of the Empire'. "That's Gusty The Great of the cover? Why does she have a unicorn skull but the horn is cured and like a crystal? In her hand?" She said it a questionable looked. Gusty had a sadistic grin and was looking at the skull. The skull had sharp teeth. "What has Celestia been hiding to every pony?!"

She found the exit. She open the door and she was in Canterlot Castle, it was morning. As she walked in the hallways until she heard some ponies walking. "Guard duty is the most boring job but it is good pay." the guard said. The guards saw the mare. "Hey how did you get here."

She raised her hands. "Hello there, I'm looking Celestia."

The guards looked at each other and then looked at her. "Miss why did we need to bring you to Celestia."

She smiled. "Tell her 'Sunset Shimmer has return'."

....

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat on there thrones. The princess of the Sun with her white and gold dress had a list as she looked at what she had to do today "Lets see, Lets see." she said. Celestia has been busy as she has plans when the crystal empire, reappears. Like increasing the army and wonderbolts. The navy was not important to her as the empire had took rainbowfall and the only train rail to Griffonia there is no way King Sombra will have a navy. And luckily every pony that lived in rainbowfall evacuated.

The princess of the Moon with her dark blue dress, looked at her sister and smiled. "You really want to do this Sister." Celestia looked at her. "I promise I would, sister."

"Even if Equestria had not been at war for over one thousand years, sister." Luna said.

"Yes I know." She said but pausing. Luna was right, Equestria had never been at war, but she and her sister don't know what Sombra was planing. "But I guess once the empire returns we may need spies in it to understand Sombra and what he is planing." Luna smiled. "I Agree with that."

Suddenly a royal guard opened the door "Excused me your majesties, but there is some pony here that wants Princess Celestia." Celestia had a questionable looked on her face "Who is this pony."

"Her name is Sunset Shimmer." The Princess of Sun gasp and dropped the scroll in her hands. Princess Luna looked at her "Sister are ok." Celestia looked at Luna. "Yes I'm... I'm fine. Guard bring her to me."

"Yes Princess" Guard said and walked out can the door close. Luna was still had a odd looked on her face. "Who is Sunset Shimmer." Celestia took a deep breathe and realist it "My other student. The one I try to teach her friendship and alway questions me about the mirror door. I guess in her exile in that world she must have come back to forgive." The door open, the guard was right there "Here she is." There she is, Sunset Shimmer. She walked slowly to her former teacher. "Princess Celestia, I come as a change pony. I am sorry that I did that to you, for disobeying you teachings. I come here to your forgiveness."

Princess Celestia smile and got up. She then walked to Sunset and hugged her. "I miss you Sunset Shimmer." Celestia said with tears coming from her eyes. Luna need that Celestia had many students. They then stop hugging, Sunset looked at her teach "So what has change since I was gone." Celestia's face change form happy to sad. "Its a long story."

Princess Celestia tried her best to explain everything. It was hard for her to not cry when she said Twilight Sparkle. But Sunset was sad that she never met her. Sunset was done talking about the world. "So that world?" Celestia said. "Is just a mirror of this world right."

Sunset smiled "Ya it is, In that world there know had humans and they don't have tails or fur or long ears."

"I see." Celesita saying "I have something for you to do."

Sunset smiled "And what is it."

Celestia cleared her throat "I want you to go to ponyville and find Twilight's friends. They are the Elements of harmony and with out the element of magic. I don't think that Equestria can't defeat King Sombra."

"He had return." Sunset said and was shocked.

"Yes, I believe that you are the last hope of the element of magic." Princess Celestia said. "I will do my best Pirncess." Sunset said.

Sunset walked out and head to ponyvile. Luna looked at her sister in a questionable looked. "You really think she can use the element of magic." Celestia sighed "She is the only pony that has magic that is strong as Twilight."

(CH4)The King and The Queen (M)

Two year later.

The Crystal castle seemed normal but the staff as all was been busy. The walls revered back to is original color, a nice dark purple. One mare walked in the Crystal Castle who was the oldest yet did not look old. She was a umbrum as her fur and horn was different colors. Her horn was blood red and her fur is gray like her son as he is the king of the empire. She has a black mane and tail that glow dark purple. She was wearing armor that looked like her son's but did was different. It was silver but in the light it was purple, on her top right side of her chest she had a crystal hand pined it was the simple of the hand of the rules of the empire or advisor. There was a red crystal on the center her chest. Her cape was purple and no white at the end like her son. Her heels where like her armor. As she walked the castle a place she called home for two thousand years ago. Ever time she walked in these halls it reminder her her past the good and the bad. Guards where in the hall, ranging form crystal ponies to umbrum bowed to the mare and saying "Lady Rabia." She smile and said. "Good day guards." Her voice was very dark like it was , and echoey but not so loud.

As Rabia walked close to the throne room she can her two ponies speaking. She found the two ponies speaking in front of the door to the throne room, they where both umbrum's. One was a royal guard his armor was purple and had a black cape, he was the caption. His gray fur with black mane, his horn was silver. "Wrath for the last time." The caption said. "We will have to see what The King and Queen will have to said about attacking equestria. We just have to wait for the royal hand." He said and pushing the soldier not off his feet, it was more of a friendly push as these two are friends.

The one know as Wrath was a red fur with dark blue mane and tail. His horn was a black. he was in a black armor with a blue cape. his rank was general of army "I know Vome." Then Wrath laughted. "But I fucking hate waiting."

Rabia sighed and looked at the two."If you two are done arguing."

The two looked where the voice came form "Lady Rabia" They said and bowing to her. Wrath sighed in relief "Finally."

The two stand and Rabia gave a glare at Wrath. "You know full well that My son will never attack equestria when he is not ready."

Wrath looked at Rabia. "I just hate waiting. My men are eager to go to war."

"We will see what 'They' say." Rabia said as she used her magic to open the throne room.

The throne room was the most glories room in the castle. A red carpet in the middle of the room that led to the Twin thrones. Six crystal pillars, three on each side where near the wall of the room. There where a elite royal guard at each one. A platform where the thrones sat on was a like hill with stairs, seven until you where on the same level where the King and Queen sat on there thrones. The ceiling had a painting of the founder of the empire King Erebus and Queen Nyx. The Thrones where made of pure crystals the best in the land. The kings throne had swords sticked in it on the top of the back. And the Queens throne had spikes coming from the top of the back.

As the three umbrum's walked close to the platform the two elite guards that guard the King and Queen said "halt" to Wrath and Vome. It seems the King and Queen was expecting them. Rabia walked up standing five inches away form the king. And there they are the King and Queen of the Crystal Empire, King Sombra was in his normal armor that he worn. He was on the right side on the platform on the right throne. He had his left arm around the mare of his dreams, She sat on the her throne. The Queen of Nightmares. She had been train for a six months with her king to learn evening about dark magic. Sombra gave her the power of Grogar's bell but the bell was absorb in her. She turn into a Alicorn and she was far more powerful and the same hight as sombra. He married her when he did that as both ponies had rings on there right ring fingers.

No pony had seen her or want to make her angry. Only the royal guards have seen the Queen and not be scared of there minds. If you do you hope not to look her in the dark red eyes surrounded by green. She was wearing armor just like her mate, and she had a cape like her mate. She had black heels as well. Her crown was like her mate but with a red six pointed star on top of it. Sombra had often describes his wife as 'Beauty of Annihilation', and she is hot. Her horn was cured it was lavender purple at the base then dark black in the middle then at the tip was blood red. Her teeth are like her husband. Her mane was like she had long age but it flow like Sombra's, its color was between black shadowed; like sombra's and a purple.

The Queen was giving soft kiss to her kings cheek. Sombra then whisper something to her "My dear, we have visitors." The Queen notice and stoped what she was doing. blush a little and sighed. King Sombra kept his arm around her and looked are General Wrath and Caption Vome. "Can we help you two." He said in a unamused tone.

Wrath was shivering in his boots. Vome sigh and with a brave face he spoke. "My Royal Majesties, I am her because of General Wrath wants to invade Equestria because he 'hates for you that you are waiting'."

Wrath was angry at that point and looked at Vome. "Why you!"

"Is this true Wrath." The Queen said her voice was different very dark and evil.

Wrath looked at The Queen "Queen Twilight, please just hear me out. We have fare advances weapon that Equestria thanks to you of cores." He looked at her she was in anger. Now he was on his knees. "Please have mercy on me it is not my will.. to say when we.. can attack."

Sombra looked as his general "I know how it is but, we need a spy to go to Eqestria and see what they are doing. I know that you have one right."

"Yes." Wrath said "But we can attack them now."

"Wrath, you do not want to test me" Sombra said to silence him.

"Yes my king I'm sorry." Wrath said "I will send the spy out."

King Sombra looked at Vome "Vome can you watch Wrath for me and tell me if he has done his job."

Vome smiled. "Yes my King I will." as he said the two walked out of the throne room.

Sombra look at his mother, "Anything else that I have to attend to, Mother."

"No not right now, Son. I will leave you two. And have a good day Twilight" She said as she walked out of the throne room. She winked at Twilight Rabia knew what her son was going to do.

Sombra had a sadistic grin on his face and looked at Twilight "Now, were did we left off." with out warning he press his lips on Twilight cheek. Twilight Started to giggle and laughs. Sombra press his right and on her hip, he was trying to tickle her. "Sstaapp it heheh. Sombra heheh." She said.

Sombra smiled "You love me went I do that." Twilight smiled. "Of course. But your sometimes go too ruff." Then a idea came to Twilight, she came to her mates ear and whispered "Maybe we can go our bed chamber and you know... go and FUCK. It is almost time to go to bed." King Sombra blushed, his face was red. He looked at Twilight, her eye brows where going up and down. He knew he turn her on, and she was horny. Then he used his magic to Teleport her and him. The eight elite guards sigh in unison, It looked like it was a break for them.

...(M)...

Twilight and Sombra appeared in there room. They then went straight to kissing pressing there lips together. Sombra broke the kiss and started to kiss her neck. Twilight started to moan softly and sometime saying "fuck". Sombra looked at her and smiled at her beauty that was like a drug to him. He started to lick his lips like a predator and its prey. Twilight smiled "We don't need this armor on don't we." Sombra smiled "Yes lets git this armor off."

Twilight giggle, she used her magic to teleport there armor off there where just in there underwear. Sombra got a good look at the mare that he see in his bed. Twilight was beautiful not just because she was a alicorn but her breast size was double D cup and her body was in a prefect curves. In a pink bra and pantie. Sombra had his black boxers on, Twilight bit her bottom lip she knew why he need boxers on when it was there wedding night. That night was the best for her. She still remembers how Sombra told her how much he loved her. There was rose petals on the bed, and a bottle of wine. Twilight then took of her bra and panties and Sombra took of his boxers. Twilight smile and grabbed Sombra, raping her arms around him. The two started to kiss, Sombra stared to pick up his mate and place her back on the bed.

Twilight let go of Sombra and started to blush. She use her magic to bring Sombra closer to her so she can feel his 11 inch cock. "Sweetie." Sombra said. "Are you impatient."

Twilight giggle and blush "I just miss your big cock inside me honey. Now come and make sweet love to me."

Sombra smiled but not for long "You are still have that birth control spell on, right." Twilight sigh "Yes I will disable it once Celestia, Luna and thought who betray me are dead." She then whisper. "Then we will see if we can start a family."

Sombra sigh in relief he wanted to be a father but not now until they had equestria then they will. He then groped her right breast with his hand and the other hand on her flank with her red six pointed star, it was not surrounded by white stars. "But let me help my queen on her lust of me." Sombra then got close to her face."And I promise you, we will have our revenge on those who betray us."

Twilight moaned as Sombra slowly put his phallus tip on her wet marehood. Sombra smiled in a sinister look. "Slow or ruff what do you want my dear." Twilight looked at him "Fuck me hard Sombra!!!"

Sombra smiled in a sinister grin and grabbed her hips and rammed her with his cock at his wife's pussy. Twilight's eye with wide "Fuck!!!!" Sombra was like a jackhammer has he went in and out. Twilight stared to do in a blissful state all she want was this. Sombra was everything she wanted.

The walls of her pussy gripped on his cock. Every time Sombra trust in her she moaned for him. He let his lustful dominant instics take over. Twilight wrapped her legs around his wast to tell him he was doing good and moaning so happily and pushing into his thrusting. Sombra return her lustful grin by getting closer and then kissing her. Twilight was grabbing the red bed sheets. Sombra thrust in her hard and hitting her g spot. Twilight fell that and orgasm hard. "O Sombra!" Luckily no one in the castle as the room had a soundproof spell. Twilight started to blush on how loud she was, but Sombra was fine on that. Twilight look like she was having a lot of fun has Sombra was like a monster. The two had sweat on them and Twilight was panting like a dog.

"Twilight.. I'm... going.. to.. come.. soon." Sombra growled under his breath. Feeling he was close.

"M-me too sweetie." Twilight panted.

As the to smashed there lips together. There tongues swirling as they reached the climax on there love making. Sombra had his final push in her as he came. They both said there names. Sombra then tried to get in bed with his wife and and pull the covers on him and her. Twilight hold Sombra laying her head on his bulky chest
