Chapter 20: Battle for the Crystal Empire Part 1

Location: Castle of Friendship

Frank POV

We were all shocked to hear those words though not as much as the royals’ sisters plus Twilight who were wide-eyed at the news however the sound of Tempest couching weakly brought us back to the current issue here at hand. As I lifted the weak unicorn mare off the ground Twilight teleports us to the hospital and in the care of the doctors before teleporting back to the castle where the others were waiting. Though I did notice that some of the mares were missing as I raised an eyebrow at this…

“Where did the others go?” I asked as Fluttershy answered.

“AJ and Rarity needed to bring their sisters back home after what had happened. Lyra and Bonbon decided to head home with how serious the situation was but wanted to know if you would be interested into doing some research on humans whenever you visit.” Said Fluttershy as I nodded at her.

Twilight walked over to the sisters as I notice Celestia sending a scroll through magic as she and Luna had worried gazes and as I was about to talk to them until I felt something wrap around my waist and looked down to see Scootaloo hugging me will also having stars in her eyes.

“Sorry about that. She wanted to meet the one that saved her and her friends real.” Said Rainbow Dash who was looking at me sheepishly.

Honestly, I didn’t mind for it brought back a memory of my sister doing the exact same thing to me when she was little.

“Hello there.” I said to the filly as she smiles brightly at me as her small wings flap rapidly

“That was so awesome what you did back there. I mean not as awesome as Rainbow Dash but still awesome. Not to mention that you came out without a scratch on your body are you a superhero?” asked the excited filly as I smiled at her by how adorable the act this was.

But just before I could say anything I heard the gasp from the royal sisters along with Twilight as I approach them not realizing that the Pegasus filly was still on me as I got to them.

“Something wrong?” I asked as the royal sisters looked at me with a worried gaze though not as much as Twilight who was shaking with worry.

“The Crystal Empire is being attacked by an army of crystal soldiers led by Queen Umbra… Cadence has fortified her castle and an area of the kingdom, but the invaders seem to be gaining more territory and I am afraid that they may overwhelm her. And to make matters worse the crystal heart protecting the land has been stolen and without it nothing will be able to stop Umbra from taking over the kingdom and overwhelm Cadence and her forces. Not only that but Barbara is with her, and I am worried for the two of them. Tempest had also said that she was turned into that creature after the queen had captured here and placed a black crystal horn on her broken horn.” She said as I facepalmed at this.

“Oh, great more bad guys with a power upgrade from a crystal. Any way what’s the plan to the queen?” I asked as Celestia, and Luna stepped in.

“We have already sent out troops to mobilize to the crystal empire, but I fear that they won’t arrive in time to help Cadence and her forces.” Said Celestia as Twilight became even more worried.

“We had made progress on making airships to take our forces there but as my sister said it will take longer for them to arrive.” Said Luna to which I sighed at this.

“Alright then I’ll go and help her out just point me to the right direction and I will get there quickly.” I said as Twilight went wide-eyed at me, and it was then that Scootaloo let go of me.

“You can’t be serious Frank. You may fly but I doubt that you can fly toward the crystal empire in such short time. Plus, I doubt your body can handle being in the harsh cold of the north.” Said Twilight as I shook at her.

“I understand, but like you said we are short on time so until Celestia and Luna’s forces arrive I will head out and help in any way I can. Just point me to the direction to where I will be going, and I will handle the rest.” I say while giving a wink to them as with a thumbs up.

Twilight was unsure about this but before she could say anything both princesses agreed to this which seemed to shock the purple alicorn and it was then that Eris appeared with a map toward the kingdom and hands it to me.

“This will help you get there. Also, here’s something so you won’t get cold and don’t worry your shoes and belts will be in safe hands. I have also given you a thigh bag that has all of your items from your stay in the Everfree.” She says as she snaps her fingers as I was given a new set of clothes as I now wore as black trench coat, grey light sweater, black thigh bag, white V-neck shirt, black cargo pants, and brown boots as I admired the new attire.

“Alright then I guess I will see you guys at Crystal Empire.” I say as I started to float up onto the air before I was stopped as both Celestia and Luna cleared their throats as I turn to them.

“Just be careful out there, Frank.” Said Celestia as Luna said her part.

“From what our niece has told us its unlike anything we have ever seen before so be on your guard Sir McCloud.” Said Luna as I nodded at the two.

“Don’t worry you two I will. See you then.” I say floating towards an open window before blasting off into the sky leaving a behind a loud boom which probably scared the pants of the residents nearby hopefully no glass was shattered because of this.

Once I was far enough soon stopped and pulled out the map before pointing towards the direction and once that was done, I then blasted forward passing through many mountains and the ocean before coming across an area where snow covered the land. And along the way I spotted what looked a crystal kingdom within the cold but noticed that the barrier was weaker and not strong as I picked up the sound of fighting thanks to my enhanced hearing. I just hope I get there quickly and pray that nothing bad has happened.

3rd POV

Location: Crystal Empire/ City streets

In the streets the Crystal Empire soldiers in platinum armor and black crystal knights were seen duking it out many of them fought to the very end as one of them a yellow Pegasus stallion is knocked away by a heavily armored one with a spiked mace and as the soldier was about to finish off the Pegasus stallion something unexpected happens…

“BANZAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

From out of nowhere Frank is seen diving down toward the armored soldier slamming him to the ground as it causes the ground to shake as all eyes were now on Frank who rises as he stood up before the shattered remains of the crystal knight before noticing the downed Pegasus stallion.

“Need a hand?” he said offering his metal hand to the Pegasus stallion who was startled at first but would later warm up to him as he grabs Frank’s hand and was pulled up from the ground.

Soon another soldier comes charging at them as Frank points a finger at the knight as he fires a beam of sunlight towards the knight as it shatters into pieces.

“By the way what is your name?” asked Frank towards the yellow Pegasus who was surprised at this but was quick to calm himself as he salutes to the human.

Note: yes, I am involving Flash to this story since this version of him will not be like the others in the fandom.

“Private Flash Sentry of the crystal empire battalion sir!” he said causing Frank to raise an eyebrow.

“Why are you… hand on a minute.” He said as he notices more soldiers charging at them as he dashes towards them as they all were hit to the ground as they were each given a punch to the face and kick to the chest and with each hit they would all shatter into pieces.

The other platinum soldiers watch in awe at how fast the opposing army was taken down as Frank uppercuts the last one as the soldier goes flying as his body impacts onto a nearby wall before sliding down to the ground. Once that was done Frank runs back to Flash who was jaw dropped at what he and the others witnessed as Frank snickers at their reaction.

“You know you if you guys keep those mouths open a fly may end up flying into them. Anyway, why were you speaking to me like I am some high ranked soldier Private Sentry?” asked the human as another pony was beside Flash this being an earth pony stallion with an orange coat with a white mane and tail and was wearing the same platinum armor with long sword on his back and like Flash saluted to the human.

“We were notified from our superiors that the royal sisters had sent the guardian of Equestria to aid in our fight to stop the opposing force from taking over the empire. Not only that but we were also told to listen to what ever order you give us sir.” Responded the stallion as Frank sighed at this.

“What’s your name soldier?” asked the human as the Earth pony responded.

“I am lieutenant Sharp Edge at your service sir.” Said the stallion as Frank rolled his eyes at this response.

“What can you tell me about the situation lieutenant?” asked Frank as Sharp Edge nodded at him.

“We have managed to push back the opposing forces, but thanks to their heavy hitters they have managed to keep us from taking back most of the territory in the empire. We managed to escort some of the civilians away, but not all of them were able to escape and have been rounded up in another location in the east side of the empire.” He said and as Edge continued Frank was examining the soldiers as he felt the pulsation of dark energy within it as he grabs a shard of the dead crystal knights.

“These heavily hitters what can you tell me about them?” he asked as Edge then spoke.

“These heavy hitters seem to be more armored, bigger, and also equipped with some cannon that fires large magic projectiles.” He said as this had Frank wide-eyed for it reminded him of the armor padded soldiers equipped with miniguns from back on his world.

Just then a loud explosion was made as one of the heavy’s appeared with a more heavily armored design with spikes on its helmet and shoulders as it aims toward the group as it aims its large cannon toward the other crystal empire soldiers before firing a red and black ball of energy toward them. Just then Frank is seen before the projectile before delivering a swift kick to the ball as it was then fired back toward the heavy hitting it straight the chest before exploding as the heavy falls to the ground with all but its lower body.

“Well, that was something. Anyway, I suggest you all stick close to me and I will deal with the rest just try to keep up with me.” He said as both the lieutenant and private nodded at him.

“You heard him men follow Sir McCloud.” He said as the others saluted to him as Frank rushes off while the soldiers followed behind him as they rush to the fray.

Soon they were fighting various legions of black crystal soldiers and thanks to Frank they were able to handle more of them and were protected to from the heavies as each of there projectiles were smacked or kicked away thanks to Frank. Soon they were able to take back the southern and western sides of the empire it was then that they arrived at the eastern side of the empire. Frank is seen firing twin beams of blue as many of crystal soldiers were then incased in ice as the crystal empire soldiers smashed the frozen crystal knights as many of the captured civilians were then escorted away from the fight. Though some of them were awe struck at the sight of the human who was fighting against the onslaught of crystal knights with nothing but his bare hands and would fire beams of energy from his finger or eyes as they wondered on just who the human was. Frank is seen punching one crystal knight on the right then kicks another one to the left followed by an uppercut sending one of the heavies in the air before grabbing one of its cannons then using it against the other heavy’s. Shattering many of the crystal knights and heavies into pieces before setting himself down before tossing the cannon to the side after depleting all of its ammo as everyone from the empire soldiers to the civilians looked at the human with wide eyes.

“How are you able to do all that?” asked private Sentry as I snickered at this reaction as some of the citizens looked at Frank with awe though some of the females seem to be staring at the human with desire.

Things seem to have calmed down for the most part until the ground started to shake as a large hand comes out from the ground as a large crystal golem was seen pulling itself out from the ground as it stood tall with a spiked mace before letting out a loud roar.

Everyone looked at the creature with wide eyes while Frank simply sighed and facepalmed at the creature before blasting off toward the golem as he appears before him and delivers a roundhouse kick to the golems face as it staggers back from the hit. Angered then swung its mace onto the human only for him to catch it in one hand before punching it with his other hand as the entire mace shatters into pieces. The empire soldiers plus civilians looked on with a amazement that the human was fighting against a creature much bigger then him and was able to shatter its weapon with just a single punch.

“Unless you don’t want to have your entire body shattered, I suggest you-…” Frank was cut off as the golem claps its large hands with Frank in between them as everyone gasps at this fearing that the human had been crushed by the golems might.

The looks of horror soon turn to looks of amazement as Frank is seen pushing the golems hands apart as he had a very pissed off look on his face and was now glaring at the golem.

“TE VOY A MATAR TE HIJO DE PUTA!!!!!!!”

Note: he said I am going to kill you, you son of a bitch.

After pushing both hands aside he then proceeds to deliver various blows to the golems face starting with a right jab, left hook, uppercut, left cross kick, right axe kick, followed by a hammer strike as Frank brings both of his hands down on the golems forehead as this last strike causes the golems body to crack. And as the lines run down its body it begins to fall apart as the light in the golem’s eyes dim before its entire body falls into tiny pieces as Frank then sets himself down as he is seen kneeling down on his left knee with his right hand on the ground. As he stands up Private Sentry then approaches him though a bit nervous after seeing the look of anger on Frank’s face but was put in ease after hearing the human breath in and out as the angry look on his face faded and was now calm.

“God that was annoying and to answer your question Private Sentry, I am able to do all of these thing’s because I have unique abilities or in this case superpowers. But enough about that, it would seem that the empire has been cleared of all these crystal knights, right?” said the human only for an explosion to be heard as Sharp Edge is seen running towards them.

“Sir McCloud I just received news from my men back at the castle. Its being attacked from the inside by Queen Umbra.” He said directing Frank toward the castle which was now covered in smoke trails as another explosion goes off.

“Escort the civilians to safety then mobilize a group toward the castle while I head over to the castle and help our forces within the castle.” Said Frank as Sentry and Edge saluted to me as Frank is seen dashing toward the castle on foot with incredible speed.

Location: Crystal Castle

Meanwhile within the crystal castle many of the soldiers were seen laid among the floors of the castle beaten and battered or covered in black crystal throughout the halls as two individuals were seen running down the halls. One of them was another alicorn mare with a light pink coat, with a multi-colored mane and tail that reminded one of candy, wings, horn, and wore a dark pink blouse over a light peach one piece dress that hugged her figure nicely with golden shoes under her hooves. For this was none other than Princess Mi Amor Candence better known as Princes Cadence…

Note: thumps up to the artists who made this design of Princess Cadence.

Next to her was a purple and green dragoness with green eyes, black hoodie and jeans, with spikes on her head slicked back to her head as she was running beside the pink alicorn as they ran down the hall before locking themselves toward the throne room. This dragoness was none other than Barbara the dragon Twilight Sparkle’s dragon assistant and the hero of the Crystal Empire.

Note: I had a hard time finding an image of Barb with clothes on but I honestly like this design and thumbs up to the artist who made this.

The two were trying to catch their breath after running so long down the hall, but a part of them were scared out of their mind after hearing the royal guards being incased in black crystal by a familiar ruler that was believed to be destroyed as Barb and Cadence hid within the castle throne. Once inside Barb immediately locks the doors as the she and Cadence try to catch their breaths however the princess of love was having trouble trying to calm down knowing that Umbra is back.

“What are we going to do? Without the crystal heart there is nothing to stop Umbra from taking over.” Said the princess of love worried about the kingdom while also cursing at whoever stole the crystal heart in the first place.

Suddenly the sound of something slamming onto the doors startles the two as both doors were blasted off from their hinges as a familiar looking queen comes marching in with her red curved horn lit and a sinister fanged smile on her face. This woman was a female unicorn mare with a dark grey coat and raven black hair with grey metal armor all over her body with red cape wrapped around her neck and hung from her shoulders and above her head was a silver tiara. Though what stood out were her eyes were green with red irises with black flames leaking out from them and the red glow of a grey amulet that shaped like an alicorn with a red gem on the center of it.

Note: this image was the inspiration for making a female version of King Sombra and shout out to the artist who made this design of the Queen.

This was none other than Queen Umbra former ruler of the Crystal Empire as she smirked at the two girls who had taken her empire as Barb got in front of Cadence as she lets out a growl which seemed to amuse the Queen.

“How cute the little dragon girl thinks she has a chance to fight me.” She says in an amusement as Barb fires a wave of fire from her mouth as Umbra blocks it with her magic as the young dragon leaps up into the air and delivers a swift kick towards the queen’s head.

Only for Umbra to catch the attack as she swings Barb away as she was tossed to the side as the queen light up her horn as metal chains wrap around the female dragon trapping her in place as Umbra giggled at the sight.

“You know I should kill you since it was you who had stopped me from taking back my kingdom, but I believe someone else deserves that honor.” Said Umbra as she looks toward the princess of love before walking towards her as Umbra summoned a broad sword infused with black magic.

Cadence tries firing various magical shots toward the queen who simply smacks them away with her sword before charging towards her with her sword in hand as she was now in front of Cadence. Time seems to have slowed down as Umbra was slowly bringing down her sword towards the princess who seemed to close her eyes accepting her fate as Barbs cries for her echoed within her mind. A tear begins to fall from her eye knowing that her life was about to be cut short and that she had failed to protect her kingdom from the mad queen herself as she awaited the strike that would end her life…

But nothing happens.

Cadence opens an eye wondering why the strike hadn’t came only to go wide-eyed at the sight of a metal claw stopping the black blade from touching her face as it is then pushed back along with the queen as she staggers back. Soon both the princess and queen looked at the owner of the claw as the tall bipedal being stood before them revealing to be Frank McCloud who had arrived as he fired twin beams of blue of ice trapping the queen on ice.

Frank POV

I had finally arrived and just in time no less as I managed to stop Umbra’s sword from slashing Cadence, and I will honestly say this they both look really pretty especially cadence…oh damn it not again…

Shaking my head, I then fired at the queen using my cryo-beam and encased her in ice as it covered her entire body as she was frozen in place. Once that was done, I quickly turned to Cadence who seemed to be in a state of shock as I cleared my throat before speaking to her.

“Are you alright princess?” I asked though I noticed that she was staring at me which was making me uncomfortable and for a moment I thought I saw sparkles in her eyes.

“Umm a little help here?” said the trapped dragon girl as me and Cadence soon approached her as I proceeded to break the chains with ease much to the shock of the girls as I helped Barb onto her feet.

“Who are you?” asked the princess of love as scratched the back of my head.

“My name is Frank McCloud.” I said and just like that both girls were wide-eyed at me.

“WAIT YOUR THAT HUMAN WHO SAVED STOPPED THE ATTACKS IN BOTH PONYVILE AND CANTERLOT? THAT FRANK MCCLOUD??!!!!!” said Barb as she was fangirling like crazy something I found amusing since her male counterpart was a comic book fan as nodded at her as she lets out a cute squee sound.

“You must be the human that Aunt Celestia and Aunt Luna mentioned in their letters. I am guessing that my aunts sent you here to help us.” Said Cadence as I looked to her with a thumbs up.

“That’s right, we first heard about this after meeting Tempest who was corrupted by a black crystal where her broken horn was. Also, Celestia and Luna are on their way to the kingdom with some soldiers along with the mane 6. Though may I ask why is the barrier covering the kingdom so weak?” I asked as Cadence sighed at this.

“Somehow some pony had managed to steal the crystal heart from its usual place thankfully the barrier is keeping up fine, but I fear that if we don’t find the heart the barrier may end up disappearing and the entire kingdom will be engulfed by the harsh cold of the north.” Said Cadence and just before I could say anything the sound of cracking was made as the ice that covered the queen started to break apart.

As the queen soon freed herself from the ice as she stood tall with a smile on her face as I got in front of the girls.

“I must say it is an honor to finally meet you Mr. McCloud.” Said Umbra as a small chill ran down my spine by how she said those words.

“I am guessing that you have heard of me, correct?” I asked to which the queen nodded.

“Oh but of course I was able to witness you many accomplishments through the use of my crystal ball and I have to admit you interest me. Especially with how you dealt with the dragon, prince, necromancer, and especially with King Dain.” She said as I was getting weirded out by her words not to mention her smiling gaze was really making me uncomfortable.

“Truly someone such as you would be better fight to rule over these weaklings rather than to constantly protect their pathetic little plots from power houses like us. And I am willing to offer that that to you Mr. McCloud that is if you wish to serve along side me that is.” She said as looked at her unamused before rolling my eyes.

“Sorry but I am not interested in ruling to kingdom, nor do I want to rule it beside a tyrant such as you, for all I ever desire is to live a peaceful life, but I can’t do that with crazies like you running amok. So, unless you don’t want to get your ass kicked, I suggest you surrender now otherwise I will have to take you down.” I said with crossed arms as I glared at the queen who seemed to giggle at my words.

“Normally I would be upset when someone speaks to me in such a manner, but for you I will make an acceptation. For I have been meaning to fight you for some time now.” She says holding her sword ready as I sighed at this before pulling out the sword Faust had given me and got into a fighting stance.

“Girls, I suggest you take cover so that neither one of you could get hurt from our fight.” I said as both the princess and dragon girl nodded as they rush to cover leaving me with the Queen who proceeded to twirl her sword before pointing towards me.

“Shall we begin?” she said in a happy tone as I nodded as we both held our blades up and began to circle one another.

It was then that we both charge at each other as we swung our blades as they collide with each other creating a loud clanging sound that echoed throughout the throne room. Me and Umbra stared at each other not backing down as we both started to deliver fast strikes from all directions, yet our blades would continue to collide with each other.

CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANK, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG.

It was then that Umbra dodged one of my strikes as she swung her sword upward hitting me dead in the chest followed by 2 more strikes being a left swing and downward strike as the force of the attacks pushed me back a bit. I was unharmed though I did notice the large slash marks of my new jacket and shirt as I face palmed at losing yet another piece of clothing as I stared back at Umbra who stood there wide-eyed at me.

“How many fucking times do I have to tear another piece of damaged clothing off my upper body. *sigh* You know what fuck it!” I said in annoyance as I tore the jacket and shirt off of me and had both my hands on my sword as I glared at the queen.

I would have been commented on how Umbra was staring at me with blood dripping from her nose but I was so annoyed that I ignored it and had both hands on my sword as the queen smiled at me.

“Heh, I knew you were strong, but I never knew you were invulnerable to basic attacks.” She said as she lights up her horn as the alicorn amulet sparked with a red aura as her broad sword glowed with the same power.

She dashes toward me before swinging her sword towards me as I parried the attack then delivered a jab kick to her guts as the force of the attack pushed her back, yet she stood tall but was clutching onto her gut from the kick. I then dashed towards her to deliver a downward strike as I brought my sword down however, she manages to move out of the way as my blade hits the floor while also cutting through it. I then she then delivers a straight jab to the left side of the face as the hit sends me flying as I hit the wall before falling onto the floor. Though the attack didn’t hurt I could tell it powerful since her hand was coated by the same red aura that was on her sword as I got. I quickly got up as I raised my power just a bit before the two of us charged again yet this time, we were using much more force than we used before as the sound of our blades colliding with each other echoed throughout the throne room.

“Such Power… you would have made an excellent suitor to be my husband. Too bad that we are both on opposite sides especially if you came only to protect that pathetic excuse of a ruler and the purple lizard.” She said as I was getting irritated at her words mostly to what she said about Cadence and Barb as I used more force it my strikes as I delivered an upward strike which knocked her sword out of her hand as I then formed a crystal gauntlet in my left hand then grabbed her by the neck as I choked slammed her down to the floor.

She then lights up her horn firing a blast of magic to my face which knocks me back a few steps as she gets back onto her hooves and lights up her horn and proceeds to fire a beam of magic to me from her horn. Putting my sword away I coated my arms in red crystal I had both arms up and managed to block the beam off from arms as it hits a nearby wall as stuck out my right arm and proceeded to fire crystal shards from my hand forcing Umbra to stop the attack and form a shield to block it. Using this I ran towards her and delivered a right hook as she forms a shield to block only for my fist to shatter the shield as my punch hits her scare in the face as I then delivered a left hook followed by a right jab, to the end it a left uppercut before grabbing her then tossing her to a nearby wall as she was embedded onto the crystal wall.

“If you don’t want me to damage that pretty face of yours, I suggest that you surrender now.” I said in a neutral tone as Umbra looked at me with the same smile as before. Pulling herself out from the wall she faces me with a smile as her hands were covered in a red aura.

However, I noticed that she was struggling a bit but was adamant on fighting me much to my bewilderment.

“This doesn’t need to end this way especially after what I had learned about you and what happened between you and Princess Amore.” I said as this causes the queen to stop in her place as her smile turned into a frown as she scowled at me.

“I know about what had happened to you the incident with the mirror, how you saw what you would become, and how Princess Amore told you that it was unavoidable at what you become. Which lead you to this path to take over the kingdom and become a tyrant.” I said as she growled at me as she started to glow with a red aura.

“Did you also know about how everyone one feared me when all I wanted was to be accepted by everyone in the crystal empire. Yet all they did was fear me and called me a monster all because of that damn mirror which should me as an evil tyrant. The only one who ever gave me happiness was Radiant Hope, yet she and that heartless Princess Amore broke my heart when they went against me. If they see me as a monster than a monster, and I will make sure that I destroy any pony who gets in my way.” She declared as she fired a couple of shots to which a weave to the side each time as I shook my head at her.

“I understand that you were hurt, but you could have followed a different path and proved everyone wrong about you.” I said as the queen scoffed at me response.

“I expected someone as powerful as you would understand especially after learning about your time on earth and how your own people called you a menace and were hunting you done. Just think with all that power you could have everything you could ever desire, and no one would stop you for you would simply obliterate them with ease. Why continue to protect and save these weaklings knowing they will one day betray you and be left as an outcast.” She said as she lifts a chunk of the floor up before launching it to me to which a shatter it with a powerful headbutt as I crossed my arms at her.

“Well to be honest… its mainly due to not being able to let others suffer if I have the power to stop it. I may have been betrayed but that doesn’t mean I will become the very thing that they feared I would become. And that doesn’t mean it’s not too late for you even after all you have done, I believe that you have the chance to redeem yourself Umbra just stop all of this and maybe I can convince the royal sisters and Cadence to lighten your punishment.” I said hoping to convince her to stop sadly it didn’t go that way.

Her aura grew as she gave me a murderous look as her hands lit up brighter than before.

“You disappoint me Frank…”

As her horn and hands sparked with black and red energy she then fires a bolt of red and black lightning towards me.

“DIE!!!!!”

Is what she yelled out as her attack came hurtling towards me yet as I sighed at this before dashing out of the way avoiding the attack as it hits the wall as it explodes and leaves a large hole. In the blink of an eye I was now in front of her as I delivered a solid right hook to her face and by the look on her face she was really not expecting it as I followed it up with a flurry of rapid punches.

“ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA, ORA…”

“OOOOOOORAAAAAAA!!!!!”

I yelled out striking my fist forward as it hits her dead in her chest while also hitting the alicorn amulet as it shatters into pieces while also sending the Queen flying as she slams onto the upper part of the wall before sliding off and onto the floor again. Taking a deep breath I looked over the now defeated queen as pieces of her armor were either beyond repair or torn off as she laid on the floor and was still breathing though I honestly wished it didn’t have to end this way.

Some of you may be wondering why I was trying to convince the Queen to stop all of this and well the reason was due to knowing about King Sombras origin and after reading some fic’s with a female version of Sombra I had learned that she was just a misunderstood being who became evil because of how others treated her which led her to be a heartless tyrant. Though I wasn’t sure if it was the same in this world, I decided to risk it and tell her a part of what I knew about her and surprisingly it was true with some new info as well.

Just then my hand started to glow as two orbs appear before me the first being a red and black orb while the second was an onyx black orb as they were both absorbed into my gauntlet as I was swept with a rush of power. However this was different as the feeling was so intense as I grabbed onto my right hand before falling onto my knees as I could feel something within me begin to form as my heart began to beat in a faster rate. This lasts for about 10 minutes before it calms down and I was able to get back up onto my feet as I stood back up tall as I looked at my hands which was now pulsing in a red and black energy however something else appears before me. As a pair of black serpents like demons slither out from my back as they stare before me with its razor-sharp teeth and yellow glowing eyes.

“Master…”

I went wide-eyed at the creatures however I was broken from my shock by the sound of someone screaming thanks to my enhanced hearing and judging by whose voice it was had me worried as I then ran towards the scream leaving the unconscious queen as the two demons slither back into my body.

As I ran towards the sound of the scream I mentally prayed that nothing back had happened to both Cadence and Barb as I ran out of the throne room…
