Magic sailed over Sombra's head as he chewed the rope off his leg. It was a difficult task, seeing as one was around his muzzle, but he managed to break free, and stand. He began to paw the ropes off his face, grimacing at how tight they were. It was getting harder to breathe with each passing second. A stray shot smacked him in the ribs, and he cried out as his broken bones rattled angrily. The searing pain burned his body, and he bit his lip to keep from giving up. His iron clad hooves scraped at his face as he frantically grabbed at the ropes to remove them. Not such luck.

He looked up when a shadow blocked his vision, to see Twilight towering over him, Rainbow at her side.

Luna, Celestia, and Chrysalis were in a free for all, while Pinkie, Rarity, Apple Jack and Fluttershy tied a screaming Cozy Glow up with the third rope.

He gave her a nasty grin, and rammed into her, making her cry out and grab Rainbow.

"Not. Cool!" The pegasus growled, attempting to head-butt him into a tree.

Sombra dissolved into a shadow, and Rainbow's face rammed against the tall pine, a sickening 'crunch' emitting from her snout.

Sombra sniffed the air, a smokey smell screaming at his nostrils. He turned to find green fire eating at his tail. Spike grinned victoriously as the umbrum screamed in horror, frantically blowing on his long, beautiful hair.

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!" He bellowed, lunging at the dragon child with fury.

Spike flew up, and Sombra hit the ground with a hard thud. Twilight grabbed him with her magic, and Rainbow stood behind him to prevent any escape attempt.

"Release me you peasant!" He barked, snapping his fangs threateningly.

"If I am a peasant, then your the beggar." She shot back.

Sombra shut his mouth, and frowned deeply, crossing his hooves over one another.

"PUT. ME. DOWN." He hissed.

Rainbow shot him a smug look, and whispered something into Twilight's ear.

"We can't do that, but I have a smite spell that could make him into an animal temporarily. He has to do something to break the spell-be kinder to creatures around him."

Rainbow smirked, and glanced back at Sombra. His pupils shrunk

"You are not going to do what ever your going to do to me-"

He was cut off when a loud buzzing filled his ears. A beam of Magenta magic began to coil around him, tightening slowly. His muzzle began to shrink, and grow whiskers, his tail turning into a more feline version, and his hooves shrunk into paws. The rope tumbled to he ground. He let out an anguished scream, which ended in a bloodcurdling meow.

Another horrible meow emitted from his mouth as the transformation completed, leaving a black and grey striped tabby cat with a red horn and eyes. He stumbled in his too big attire which once rode on his hooves and back with pride, and toppled over, making Rainbow and Spike laugh.

"A cat?!" The pegasus wheezed. "He turned into a cat?!"

The fighting ceased, and every one turned to look at the group. Sombra let out another horrified meow, and scrambled out from under neath his large red cloak. The hoof armour rattled and clanked as he kicked them away, a furious glare scribbled across his face.

Luna began to snicker, followed by Pinkie and Apple Jack.

"That isn't funny!" Chrysalis snapped, kicking at Luna, who held her in her magic. "Change him back!"

The alicorn stifled another giggle, and looked at the changeling. "I don't think so." She floated up, flapping her wings gently, and nodding to the others.

Rainbow grabbed at Sombra, trying to catch him. Instead of grabbing hold of him, she got a hoof full of scratches as the tom cat kicked away from her. He darted up a tree and onto a branch, giving her a smug look.

"Use the cloak." Fluttershy directed, flying over and lifting it off the ground. She smiled at Sombra, and carefully placed it onto his back, wrapping it around his frightened body.

Sombra swiped his claws at her angrily, and kicked the cloak away. Fluttershy's gentle look morphed into a hard stare, and she eyed him with such an intensity that he froze. Sombra lifted the cloak with his magic, and wrapped it around himself

"Now, we are going to take you three back to the palace, were you will stop this madness, and apologize for being so mean." Fluttershy directed, picking up the bundled cat with a hoof.

Sombra scowled, and hissed.

"Hey, you got a burrito cat now!" Spike deadpanned. "You could even call it a 'Purrito'." He burst out laughing, making the others groan.

Chrysalis hissed and spat, kicking furiously to escape Luna's grasp on her. Not such luck. Cozy was knocked out cold, draped across Apple Jack's back.

"We did it? We won?" Twilight asked uncertainly.

Celestia nodded. "I think. For now, let us return home."

The villains sat on one end of the room, and the heroes on the other. Chrysalis, and Cozy were tied up, and Sombra sat on his mate's lap.

"...And seeing all the damage you have done, corrupting the changelings, ruining the homes of the ponies, you have a lot to think about." Celestia scolded.

"What about you?" Chrysalis demanded.

"Merrow!" Sombra said.

"He says that Luna, Cadence, and Twilight killed Tirek, and Furia, so therefore you shouldn't be scolding us." Fluttershy translated.

"They are VILLAINS!" Rainbow retorted. "Villains don't deserve to live!"

"MEOW!"

"Oh my...I prefer not to translate that." Fluttershy blushed.

"Anyways, that little runty brat killed Cadence." Luna snapped at the cat.

"He-"

--

"TWILIGHT!"

Twilight groaned, and rubbed her head. The scene faded into darkness, and she realized her eyes were closed. She opened them, and saw all her friends around her. She was laying on a bed.

"Finally!" Apple Jack cried.

"What happened? Where are the villains?" She sat up swiftly, and noted her surroundings. Her room gleamed in an afternoon light.

"Uh...Where they should be, locked up." Rainbow replied. "What's with you?"

Twilight gasped with realization, then blew a sigh of relief. "Nothing...Just a dream I had."

She smiled at her friends, and stepped out of the room. "We have a busy day ahead of us, planning for Celestia's birthday in all. We'd better get to Canterlot before the train leaves."

"Would you mind telling us about this dream you had?" Rarity inquired.

Twilight summoned a brush with her magic, and made a confused face. "Well, we were going to Canterlot, and there was this black door..."
