Twilight and Spike were gliding upside down on the crystal staircase. Twisting and turning every once in awhile. When they finally reached the top twilight saw it, the crystal heart. She was about to grab it when something dawned on her. It just seemed to easy, the crystal heart was right there in the open. Ready for anyone who wanted it. Why would King Sombra leave it like that? Yes getting here was hard enough, but still if someone did manage to come up here wouldn’t there be more defense?

That was when she saw the flooring under the heart. It was multiple shades of blue with a white star in the middle. Twilight then came to the conclusion that it was somehow booby trapped. She tested her theory by picking up a crystal on the ground and throwing it under the heart.
This alerted Sombra and soon black crystals began to pop out of the ground. After seeing this twilight instantly grab the heart with her magic. She held it protectively to her chest and teleported her and Spike out of there.

In a flash they appeared bedside Princess Cadence, who was barley conscious. Shining Armour shook her awake for her to see twilight holding the heart. Seeing this she found what little strength she had left in her and got up. Twilight handed her the heart and she tiredly glided down to the crystal ponies.

There were a bunch of gasps and ‘oohs’ and ‘ah’ from the crowd below. Cadence then landed smashing the fake heart in the process. As she placed the real heart down the ponies all bowed down light enveloping them. Then a light blue aura like flash spread across the kingdom, which crystallized the ponies. Sombra’s screams of anger echoed throughout the kingdom. Those cries or anger turned into fear as he was turned to dust from the blast.

Twilight and her friends came down to the towns ponies, while Rarity admired her reflection in a crystal. The crystal ponies crowded around Twilight thanking her for her heroism. Everyone else was checking on Cadence to make sure she was alright.

After the crystal ponies were done thanking Twilight she and her friends headed home. Shining Armour and Cadence walked with them to the station.

Feeling accomplished Twilight stepped into the train with her head high and a wide smile. She was glad that this mess was over, but not as happy as knowing she passed her test.

Deep underground in small cabe there was a younger shadow creature. Who was listening to the whole takeover that had just occurred. She did this with her super hearing, she heard there praises and cheers for Sombra’s defeat. How could they be celebrating? Did they even know what they did? Did that Twilight Sparkle know that she turned her father into ash? Probably not, no one would anyway.

She didn’t even know this pony but she already hated her. The only family she had was taken away from her, and she her revenge in Twilight. How though? She couldn’t think of anything at the moment she was to angry to think straight. So she let it be for now.

Months went by and she still couldn’t think of a good idea. Sure she occasionally had an idea of throwing her in Tartarus or something, but it wasn’t good enough. She sat down and groaned rubbing her temples with her front hooves and began to think. ‘What to do, what to do. Nothing seems to be good enough of a payback.’ She sighed.

“I need to clear my head.” She said standing up and headed to the cave entrance. “Maybe a trip to Canterlot will do the trick.”

She used her shadowy figure to blend into the dark alley ways leading her to Canterlot. It took her around 20 minutes to finally reach the outskirts of the city. She kept in the shadows of the alleys until she noticed that no one was in the streets. ‘How odd the street is usually buzzing with ponies.’ She thought.

She cautiously crept into the streets looking every so often for ponies. Since the coast was clear she wandered farther down the streets. She didn’t see a single pony until she came across the castle, there she saw all of Canterlot and maybe other towns too. They were all in a crowded in front of the castle apparently the princesses were making some sort of announcement. Then she saw her, Twilight Sparkle, what was she doing there? Wait did she have wings before?
‘Don’t tell me they made her a princess now.’

Her suspicions were correct as Princess Celestia presented Twilight to the crowd. They cheered, then twilight gave a speech. Something along the lines of.

“Thank you everypony. I am so honored to be your new princess.”

She also had said.

“Before I moved to Ponyville I didn’t appreciate friendship. But it was my friends her that taught me the importance of it. Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy come on out here.” Then they all shared a group hug.

It made her want to gag. How could they adore someone like her? Did they know what she and her friends had done! Not just to her dad but to all the villains. Though it seems it didn’t matter as long as it was good for there benefits. It didn’t matter how many villains they gave cruel fates to, they only want what’s good for them. Of course Twilight and her dumb little friends have to give that to them.

As the ceremony was coming to an end the young shadow took notice of how Twilight was all over her friends. Giving them hugs and thanks for what? Being there for her. She was about ready to leave in fear of being spotted when she heard Twilight speak.

“I’m so glad I have you girls as my friends. I don’t know what I’d do without you!”

Then she heard a younger male voice speak.

“You’d probably be the lonely bookworm you were back in Canterlot.”

She heard him cry out in pain after that, meaning he probably got punched in the side or something. There was also some laughter that followed shortly after. Then it hit her, twilight would be nothing without her friends. So why didn’t she just take them away. No that wouldn’t be enough she wanted Twilight to pay. She wanted her to know what it’s like to suffer. The shadow wanted to kill the newly crowned princess, but she couldn’t do it alone. Then another thought came to mind, since she couldn’t kill Twilight herself then why not have her friends do it for her. Yes that was it, that was the plan. How did she not think of it before it seemed so obvious!

She swiftly moved back into the dark alley ways before she could be spotted. Quietly she crept back to her cave.

As she entered the cave ideas for her plan were buzzing in her head. Then she let out a low soft chuckle that echoed throughout the cave walls. The laughter grew louder and louder until it abruptly ceased.

She smiled and simply said. “Watch out Twilight Sparkle, Midnight is coming!” With that she began to laugher evilly again.
