Reign of Shadowsby Timeman202ChaptersPrologue: After The Escape...Chapter 1 - Recovery PeriodChapter 2 - Fall of the Crystal EmpireChapter 3 - The ElementsChapter 4 - Twins?!Chapter 5 - Canterlot Falls (sex inside)Epilogue: The Hunt Goes OnPrologue: After The Escape...Twilight had no idea how long she had been fleeing for, but finally came in a cave hidden deep within Everfree Forest. Twilight checked in on her husbad who was still not moving. She decided to check his body with magic. "Please be okay Sombra...please still live..." Twilight said, activating her magic. She suddenly gasped. Her magic was reacting, but it wasn't strong. "Sombra!" She exclaimed and started to use her magic to heal him. "I won't let you die...not like this...not when I am with child..." Twilight said as she continued to work her magic. It wasn't long before Sombra began to move again. "Wh-where...am I...?" Sombra said slowly. Twilight shushed him. "It's okay my love...do not speak." Twilight said, continuing her spell. "You were barely hanging in there. But I'm so happy that your alive." She said as she continued healing her one true love. "We should take some time to rest, but once we've rested enough..." Twilight added as she finished up. "...We need to start making plans; plans to overthrow Celestia and Luna so that we may rule Equestria." She finished with a grin. Sombra smiled at his queen. "That sounds nice..." Sombra said. "My only hope is that we can accomplish such a goal." He added. "I know we can do it, Sombra." Twilight said. "Together, we can do it. We just have to be smart about it. First, we should take back the Crystal Empire, and then think of where to go from there. But first, we'll need a much bigger army. Not to mention we need time to recover. No one will find us here in this cave. It's too far into Everfree Forest for search parties to even dare tread." She explained. "It's the perfect place to start planning our revenge." Twilight finished with a smirk. "Twilight..." Celestia said weekly as Luna healed her. "She was too far gone...she's become another Starswirl..." Celestia added. "As much as it pains me to admit it, the haste and determination that Twilight exhibited proves only one thing: That what your saying is true. I wonder if she's so far gone, that even her friends can't reach her." Luna said. "I don't know...do you think it'll make a difference?" Celestia asked. "It wouldn't hurt to at least try..." Luna said. "Cadence..." Shining Armor rushed to his wife. "Honey, you look ill...is something wrong?" He asked. "It's Twilight..." Cadence said, shivering like she had seen a ghost. "I felt something...something evil..." She said. "I don't think she's our twilight anymore...” "I really hope the princesses can bring Twilight back." Spike said as he and Twilight's friends hung out in sugarcube corner. "But what if the two of them won't be enough? We should've gone with." Pinkie Pie said. "All we can do is pray..." Rarity said. "I don't like this. I should've gone with at least." Rainbow Dash said. "We all wish we had done so..." Applejack said. "Even me...I may be scared of Sombra but..." Fluttershy had a look of determination on her face. "But it would be for Twilight!" She added. Celestia soon arrived. No Twilight, just Luna. "...I had a sinking feeling..." Spike said. "We're sorry...Sombra has corrupted her more then we thought he did." Celestia said. "But perhaps, if she were to hear from you all, she might snap back into reality." Luna said. "Just what we needed to hear!" Rainbow Dash said. "We should figure out a way to find them though...no doubt their in hiding somewhere were it would be difficult to find them..." Fluttershy said. "Ah agree." Applejack said. "But we won't give up." Pinkie Pie said. "I couldn't have said that better myself, darling." Rarity said. Luna and Celestia smilled. "We shall leave finding them to the six of you. Me and my sister must make preparations...just on the off chance you fail. But I really hope you can get through to her." Celestia said. "You can count on us!" Spike said. "Just be wary should she decide to attack you..." Luna said. "If she does, run." She added. The girls and spike all nodded in agreement. In the cave, Twilight had used the creation spell to make things more livable for their week's rest. Even a bed big enough for the both of them. Twilight helped Sombra into bed before joining him. "It'll be a long week..." Sombra said. "But it'll be worth it." Twilight said. She had a plan in case her friends showed up. With the aid of Dark magic, Twilight would force her friends to see things her way. Including Spike. Chapter 1 - Recovery PeriodTwilight brought Sombra a small meal. "It's not much, just something I whipped up." She said as Sombra began eating. "I know it's in-between meal times, but the extra bit of food will help you recover magic faster." Twilight added. Sombra didn't take long to finish. It was a rather small meal. "And I'll need my magic to recover quickly if we plan on confronting your brother and sister-in-law." Sombra said. "Chances are likely we'll have to kill them both." He added. "I know. But if my friends confront us...I was wondering if by chance you have a brainwashing spell we could use on them." Twilight asked. "And why pray tell would you not want them dead?" Sombra asked. "Because if they are brainwashed, then the elements of harmony can be used for our side." Twilight said. "In that regard, it makes more sense to keep them alive then to kill them." She added. "Makes sense. Still, there has to be a second reason why you would hold them so close to yourself." Sombra said. "Sombra, I love you with all my heart. But if I can have both you and my friends, then that would make me happy. Plus, unlike my brother and sister-in-law, they most likely have no idea about what happened in canterlot. And if they do, then Celestia told them, which still makes them innocent to me. But my brother and sister-in-law...with one being another Alicorn and the other a former captain of the royal guards, I just see no reason to keep them around." Twilight explained. "Very well Twilight. Once my magic has recovered enough, I will teach you the brainwashing spell on the off chance your friends find us before we begin our campaign." Sombra said. Twilight smiled. "Of course my love. Better to be safe then sorry." Twilight said and left the room and into a board room she had prepped in advance for their conquest. "Sombra actually agreed to the brainwashing spell. Nice." Twilight said and crossed that off her small personal list. "With that done, the next step is to wait for Sombra to recover." She said. Over the next few days, Twilight would always give Sombra a small meal to eat in-between meals during the afternoon times. Meanwhile, Twilight's friends would do their best to locate the duo with no luck so far. And today, Sombra had recovered enough to teach Twilight the brainwashing spell. Since it's a very small power spell, to test it, Sombra suggested Twilight grab a few animals from around the forest. Which she did. "This should be enough." Sombra said. "First, observe the spell in action." He said and used the spell on a small squirrel. It's eyes soon became a pure green as it stood to attention. "I should mention, depending on the thought put into a brainwashing spell, one can make anyone do any particular thing." Sombra said before demonstrating by using the spell on a different squirrel, only difference was that this one ran up to Sombra before climbing onto his back. "With just a small adjustment, one squirrel is no different then a soldier, while another is now my own personal pet animal." Sombra explained. "Right. I think i get it. With the right adjustment, I can use this spell to make my friends see what we are doing as the right thing to do." Twilight said. She decided to test this on a fox she had found. Sure enough, he went over to her. "So little fox, tell me: Do you agree that me and Sombra ruling Equestria with an iron hoof is what you want?" Twilight asked the fox to which the fox simply nodded at. "Good. That is all for now." Twilight said and the fox went off into the woods. Twilight repated this with two more animals before she felt like she got the hang of it. "Such mastery…with little effort you have already mastered the spell's use the way you need to use it on your friends." Sombra said. "It's quite easy once I got the hang of it. Now for me to see if I can cast it on multiple creatures at once." Twilight said and turned to the rest of the animals. "Wait Twilight...not so soon...I haven't taught you..." Sombra tried to say before Twilight suddenly cast the brainwashing spell that she had been casting on the rest of the animals. "Tell me animals of the forest: Do you agree that Sombra and I ruling Equestria with an iron hoof is what you want?" Twilight asked. All the animals nodded in unison. "Good. You may leave." Twilight said and the animals left. "Impressive...with very little effort and very little observation, you've already mastered group brainwashing..." Sombra said. "I already had the building blocks in place. Using the knowledge I had from the multi-target dark spells you've taught me and applying their logic to the brainwashing spell, it was very easy to do." Twlight said. Sombra chuckled. "And here I was worried you wouldn't be ready to cast a group brainwashing spell. Yet you've mastered it with ease." Sombra said. "Thank you Sombra." Twilight said, smiling. Already she was looking forward to taking over the Crystal Empire. There's just going to be one small hurdle first... Chapter 2 - Fall of the Crystal EmpireA few more days have passed since Twilight learnt the brainwashing spell. The two of them were ready to take control of the Crystal Empire now. And with the creation spell, many soldiers were created. In fact, with some extra magical knowledge from Twiilight, their army soon become infinite thanks to a douplication spell Twilight decided to add in. "A light based spell...and yet it serves our purposes well." Sombra said, smiling. Twilight nuzzled her love. "It'll be difficult for me to kill my brother and sister-in-law. Which is why I would rather you do it. I might hesitate. And we can't have that." Twilight said. Sombra nodded. "Indeed. They weren't there for the battle, but no doubt Celestia has your brother on your hide now too." Sombra said. "Now it's time for the first phase of our plan." Twilight said, smiling before taking on the form of a normal unicorn, but one that was more pinkish. "...I've been working on a disguise spell for myself. Now watch it pay off." Twilight said and went into the crystal empire... "I really hope Twilight's not corrupted by that no-good bastard Sombra or at least something that he enchated." Shining Armor said. "Wait a second..." He said before he came to a realization. "That's it! Twilight must have found something Sombra enchanted, and became corrupted by it. If I can get that said object away from her, there may be a way to save her!" Shining Armor exclaimed. Suddenly a royal guard pony burst through the doors. "What's the rush?' Cadence said. "The crystal heart has been stolen, your highnesses!" the royal guard said. "WHAT?!" Shining Armor exclaimed. "Did you see who did it?" He asked. "Yeah. She was pink and had the cutie mark of a purple diamond covering up a four point white burst with a cyan flame coming from it." The guard pony said. "That's weird...I've never heard of a pony like that." Cadence said. "Did you get her name?" Shining Armor asked. "She called herself Starlight Glimmer..." The guard pony said. Twilight soon arrived back to Sombra with the Crystal Heart in tow before removing her disguise. "Phew...that was easier then I thought it'd be." Twilight said, smiling. "Oh? How was it so easy, if you don't mind me asking?" Sombra asked. "Simple. I used an alias. Starlight Glimmer." Twilight said. Sombra chuckled. "Sounds like that could've been the name of your sister if you had one." Sombra said. "I don't..." Twilight said. "Only a brother who will soon be dead." She said. "Let's not waste time though." Sombra said. The entire army charged forward. "Your highness, we're under attack by unknown soldiers!" A guard pony said to Shining Armor. "What the..." Shining Armor said and took out his telescope. Only to see a giant army being lead by two ponies. Two very familiar ponies. "King Sombra...dammit." Shining said. "Everyone to arms. If you can, subdue Twilight but whatever you do, do not cause harm to her. She's being brainwashed by that Tyrant King." He commanded. "Yes sir!" The entire guard said. "Too late..." It was King Sombra's Voice. He was suddenly there in the throne room with Twilight. "Sorry about this brother...if you weren't so keen on killing me...then I wouldn't have to kill you." Twilight said. "Twilight, listen to me...I would never want to kill you..." Shining Armor said. "Your being corrupted by Sombra, fight it!" He said. Twilight shook her head. "Not you too. First Celestia and Luna, and now you too?" Twilight asked. "Like I thought...you want me dead." She said and started to fight the royal guards there. "Sombra, deal with them my darling." Twilight called out. "So sorry, princy..." Sombra said before he plunged his horn into Shining Armor's chest. "But I'm afraid your sister is now my Queen of Shadows!" He laughed as Cadence soon arrived. "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, otherwise known to Twlight as Princess Cadence." Sombra aknoweldged. "Shining Armor...you killed him...you killed the father of my child!" Cadence said. "Your with child too? Heh...sorry, but I can't let you give birth." Sombra said before doing the same thing to her. And with her death, so too did her unborn baby die. Sombra's Army soon occupied the Crystal Empire and with a quick Brainwashing spell from both Twilight and Sombra combined, the entirety of the Crystal Empire was under their command. "Now we can begin making preperations for the birth of our child." Sombra said to his Queen. Twilight smiled. "But of course my love. And after a couple of months after he or she is born, perhaps we can work on getting him a brother or sister to play with." Twilight said. Sombra laughed. "Just how many children are you thinking about having, my queen?" Sombra asked. "As many as your willing to give me." Twilight said, smiling happily. Sombra returned the smile. "Let's let our first child grow for a few years, then work on giving them a brother or a sister to look after." Sombra said. "Works for me." Twilight said. Author's Note Yep, I used Starlight Glimmer as Twilight's disguise because she won't be a part of this story otherwise. Chapter 3 - The ElementsIt's been a week since Twilight and Sombra took over the Crystal Empire. However, due to the brainwashing spell, no one would know that the crystal empire had been taken over until it was too late. "No..." Celestia said as she looked over towards the Crystal Empire. She had lost contact with Cadence and started to grow worried. But one look towards the crystal empire confirmed her suspecions. "It might be too late after all..." Celestia said. "Dammit...and I just sent the other elements to their death." She added. The remaining main 6 members plus Spike were on a train that lead to the check point station a few miles from the crystal empire. "Dammit...this looks bad. Our best bet is to get Twilight back and then restore the empire" Applejack said. "Let's just hope Twilight isn't too far gone." Rainbow Dash said. "I really want her to be alright." She said. "We all do, Rainbow." Rarity said. "Especially me." Spike said. "It's scary, but I'll try my best too." Fluttershy chipped in. "And then we can have a 'twilight has returned to us' party." PInkie Pie said. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. "Never change Pinkie. Never change." Spike said. They got off at the checkpoint station, and headed towards the Crystal Empire, only to see a pink Unicorn fleeing from the place. "Whoa! Hold up there..." Applejack said, stopping the unicorn. "Wh-who are you guys?" The unicorn asked. "I'm Applejack, that's Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. Who are you?" Applejack said. "M-my name is Starlight Glimmer..." The unicorn said. "I was just at the Crystal Empire when it was suddenly attacked by all these wierd ponies lead by King Sombra and some purple alicorn I don't recognize." She added. "King Sombra is still alive?!" Spike exclaimed. "Twilight...Sombra must have her deep." Rainbow said. "But we're not about to give up on her. Starlight, can you help us sneak in the palace?" She asked. "Sure thing..." Starlight said. Little did any of the group know that Starlight Glimmer was really Twilight Sparkle in a very elaborate disguise. Starlight AKA Twilight lead the elements through to the crystal palace and to the throne room. It was empty. "...Where the hell is King Sombra?" Applejack askd Starlight. "Chill Applejack." Pinkie Pie said. "I doubt Starlight here knows where he is." She said. "Honestly Applejack dear, you should just relax." Rarity said. Starlight smiled. "Yeah...I guess I did jump the gun a little. Sorry Starlight." Applejack said. "It's okay Applejack. I forgive you." Starlight said. "Your a nice mare, Starlight. When we get Twilight back to us, you would make an excellent addition to her group of friends." Fluttershy said. "I can work with that. A 'we got back twilight and made a new friend in the process' party." Pinkie Pie said. Starlight giggled. This reminded her so much of their friendship. "You five girls are some of the nicest ponies I've had the pleasure of meeting." Starlight said. "That's kind of their thing." Spike said. "You'll get used to it. Eventually." He said. I already have. It's just nice to be reminded of it. Starlight thought to herself, smiling. Not much longer now. She just had to keep the six distracted long enough. "Let's not seperate ourselves. No telling where those two ponies might be." Starlight said. "Your right Starlight. Everyone, stick together." Applejack said. Not knowing that she and the rest of the gang all fell for a trap. "Hold on..." Spike said sniffing the air. "I smell Twilight..." He said. Crap! I was hoping to avoid having to... Starlight AKA Twilight was thinking when suddenly the five ponies and dragon found themselves surrounded by black crystals. Just in time, Sombra Starlight smiled. "It's King Sombra!" Rarity said, noticing the stallion in question heading towards them all. "Starlight, run!" Pinkie Pie said. Starlight grinned evilly before she suddenly dropped her disguise. "Tw-Twilight?!" All five ponies and spike exclaimed at once. "Hello girls. I meant what I said by the way: You five girls are the nicest ponies I've had the pleasure of meeting. I know that you could never ever ever bring yourselves to kill me. You would never be able to do so." Twilight said. "You tricked us..." Applejack said. "But for the all the right reasons. I wanted you to join me and Sombra." Twilight said. "After all, what good is it if I don't have my friends along for the ride?" Twilight said with an evil smirk on her face. "We'll never get corrupted by him! Fight him, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash...never once did I say I'd corrupt you." Twilight said. "Then what are you going to do to us, Twilight?" Rarity asked. "Please don't make me have to throw a 'we couldn't save twilgiht' pity party..." Pinkie Pie said. "Oh Pinkie Pie, you will be throwing no such pity party in fact..." Twilight's horn glowed. "...You'll soon be throwing a friendship reunion party for all of us." She added. "Twilight..." Fluttershy said before suddenly Twilight cast the group brainwashing spell. "I do hope you understand the reason for this my friends..." Twilight said. "But honestly, I couldn't bring myself to kill any of you either." She added. "We understand Sugarcube..." Applejack said as the girls were released from crystal. "We're your friends Twilight. We don't mind supporting you and Sombra." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah. And a friendship reunion party sounds like a great idea. Plus a 'Twilight's newborn child' party in the future." Pinkie Pie said. "Not to mention the designs I could work up for the two of you." Rarity pitched. "Just so long as I can take care of all the animals I'm good." Fluttershy said. Twilight turned to spike and frowned. "Spike, why do you resist me?" Twilight asked. Unlike the others, Spike was resisting the brainwashing. "Twilight...please...stop...this...this...isn't...you..." Spike said slowly. "Spike..." Twilight said. "Don't make this difficult for me. I still need my number one assistant." She added. "No...not...your assistant..." Spike said. "Or do you think of me...as more of your mother?" Twilight asked. That did it. Spike caved. "...I do, mom..." Spike said. "I do..." He said. Twilight smiled. She knew that would work. In her heart she knew that would work. Sombra gave his wife a loving kiss which Twilight returned. Today was a good day. Author's Note Honestly, I couldn't bring myself to kill off any of Twilight's friends. Bad ending or not, Twillight should always have her friends. Chapter 4 - Twins?!As Twilight and Sombra began making preperations for their upcoming battle against Celestia, Twilight suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Sombra...it's coming...the baby's coming..." Twilight said. "Be calm my queen..." Sombra said before he teleported her to the hospital they had made. "My wife is about to give birth, we need a doctor, now!" He yelled. In no time at all, a doctor did indeed help them. But Twilight didn't just have one child that day... "TWINS?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Yeah. Two baby girls in fact..." Twilight said. She was holding her two newly born daughters in her hooves. "Meet Star Bright and Bright Star..." She said. Star Bright was a darker purple color then Twilight was. But what was the most shocking about her was that she was born an Alicorn. Which is something everyone was shocked by. Meanwhile Bright Star took on a dark gray coat; making her a lighter color coat then the one she inherited from her father. Unlike her sister, Bright Star was born a normal Unicorn. "Wait where's Sombra?" Pinkie Pie asked. She then noticed a passed out King Sombra on the floor. "...He's been like that ever since he found out we were having twins and then finding out that one of our daughters was born an alicorn." Twilight said. "How long do ya reckon he'll be out for Twilight?" Applejack asked. "When the shock wears off, which will in an hour, give or take." Twilight said. "I think your two baby girls are just lovely darling." Rarity said. "I think their both so adorable." Fluttershy said. "Thanks girls. I don't know what I'd do without you and Sombra here for this." Twilight said, smiling. In canterlot, Celestia was sweeting feverishly. A while ago, she had just felt the birth of an alicorn; something beyond even the understanding of her and her sister. "Tia...did thou feel that surge of power a while back?" Luna asked as she watched her sister continue to sweet feverishly in bed. Of all the times for this to happen, it was during royal court. "Yes...I did Lulu..." Celestia said. "And the dark power I felt from it has left me bedriidden." She added. "It must mean Twilight has given birth to a baby Alicorn. Which only makes saving her all the harder." Luna said. "Sister we must face the truth..." Celestia said. "Twilight is gone. In her place is the widow of a monster. A monster we killed." She said. "Is thou so certain? For a while, I felt another dark presence. I think Twilight may have somehow revitalized Sombra." Luna said. "Then all hope to save Twilight is lost. We must prepare for war." Celestia said. Author's Note Shorter chapter this go around, but I wanted the birth of Twilight's first two children to take place in it's own chapter without realizing just how short such a chapter could become. I'm gonna go my bad on this one, and try to format one of these "birthing" chapters later. And yes, that means there will be more births to come. Chapter 5 - Canterlot Falls (sex inside)"It is time." Twilght said. It's been five long years, but here she was with her friends, her husband, and her two daughters. Sombra and Twilgiht both decided to wait until after they conquered Equestria to try for more children. "Mommy...what do you want us to do?" Star Bright asked. "Sweeties, I want you to stay out of the fighting okay? Can you both do that for your mommy and daddy?" Twilight asked. "Sure thing mommy." Bright Star said and the two twins ran off somewhere. "The army advances in thirty minutes..." Sombra said. "This is it girls. Today Canterlot...tomorrow the rest of Equestira!" Twilgiht shouted. "It is true...Sombra is still alive." Celestia said. "And what's worse, Twilgiht's friends are all brainwashed too." She said and sighed. "Dammit...how could I let this happen?" She asked. "Your majesties you must flee and live to fight another day." The royal guard said. "Understood. Hold out for as long as you can." Celestia said and left with Luna. "Dammit...we missed them..." Twilght said as they finished clearing the castle. "Should've known they'd flee. The cowards." Sombra said. Their daughters returned with five fillies with them. "Hey mommy...can you do the thing?" Star Bright asked. "Yeah! I think these five fillies will make great friends for us." Bright Star said. Twilght smiled as she recognized three of the fillies. "Hello Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo..." Twilight said. "What does she mean do the thing Twilght?" Scootaloo asked. "Please don't kill us..." Sweetie Belle asked. "We don't even care what you do to us...just don't kill any of us!" Apple Bloom begged. "Please..." Diamond Tiara said. "Have mercy..." Silver Spoon said. "Kill you? You five girls? Never." Twilght said before reading the brainwashing spell. "In fact, I could never kill you girls. Instead, I think I agree with my daughters." She said, smiling as she continued to charge the group brainwashing spell. "Daughters?!" The five fillies exclaimed at once before Twilght cast the group brainwashing spell. "How are you girls feeling?" Star Bright said. "Couldn't be better, Star Bright!" Apple Bloom said. "So what do you say we find ourselves someplace away from here..." Scootaloo began. "And work on getting you two your cutie marks?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Sure thing." Bright Star said. "I bet it'll be loads of fun." She added. "Oh you two are in for one Tartarus of a treat!" Diamond Tiara said. "Yeah, you will be doing all sorts of things to try and find your special talents." Silver Spoon said. "Huh...makes me wonder if there's any time and effort put into it..." Star Bright said. "Gee...we didn't think of that before..." Scootaloo said. "It makes sense in hindsight." Sweetie Belle said. "The past is the past. Besides, you found your cutie marks that way. it just won't work for any one else." Diamond Tiara said. "Good idea." Apple Bloom said. "Are you two...dating?!" Bright Star asked. 'WHAT?! NO!" Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara both exclaimed at once. "Oh yes!" Twilight said as Sombra began to ram her. "FUCK ME MY LOVE! MAKE LOVE TO ME THIS NIGHT!" Twilight Screamed as Sombra fucked his wife. "It may be a little early to do this, my love..." Sombra said as he continued. "But it'll be well worth it." He said as he continued. Throughout the night, sounds of loud moaning and screams of pleasure can be heard from the royal canterlot bedroom. Epilogue: The Hunt Goes OnTwilight's P.O.V. It's been a few months since me and Sombra took over Canterlot. In that time, our armies have managed to take over a few other cities to expand our shadow empire. Unfortunately, Celestia and Luna have yet to be found. They must be hiding very well. They may even have fled equestria as a whole. I'm sure we'll find them eventually. Life has been swell during that time. Not really a lot has changed. A few of my friends have even found mates of their own. There was some issue with the Wonderbolts at once point, but one group brainwashing spell later and a uniform change, the wonderbolts are now the Shadowbolts. And even though me and Sombra were ready to put Rainbow Dash in charge of the new Shadowbolts, she insisted on working her way up normally. She's currently only in the reserves, but I have a feeling that before the end of the year, she'll be a full fledged Shadowbolt. She and Soarin have even been going out with one another. As for the others, not much has changed. Applejack still works on her farm, Pinkie Pie still hosts parties, Rarity still makes dresses and other clothing items (she even made the new Shadowbolt uniforms), and Fluttershy still cares for the various animals. When it comes to the CMC, well...they haven't changed much either. My daughters have been enjoying playing with those girls a lot though. They are more or less all the best of friends now. Though according to Star Bright, Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara are dating now. I'm not sure how long it'll last, given Diamond Tiara's past, but I'm willing to look past that and see where things go in regards to that. So far it seems to be going fine. As for me and Sombra...well of course I love him with all my heart. I'm even pregnant again. I just hope I don't have twins for a second time. That would start to cause a pattern. A pattern I don't know if Sombra and I can both keep up with. And I know he's worried about the concept of me having twins a second time in a row even if he never shows it. When he's alone with me, he's such a gentle colt. I get that he has to be ruthless to the public so that they know better then cross him. Right now, with Celestia and Luna still around, they are the only real threat to our shadow empire. But we will find them. And we will kill them. Until then... The hunt goes on... Author's Note Short epilogue I know. And yeah, I decided to leave the ending open ended because I was super running out of ways to keep this story interesting for everyone. So if someone wants to make a continuation of this story as a one-shot or something, I give you express permission to do so.
Prologue: After The Escape...Twilight had no idea how long she had been fleeing for, but finally came in a cave hidden deep within Everfree Forest. Twilight checked in on her husbad who was still not moving. She decided to check his body with magic. "Please be okay Sombra...please still live..." Twilight said, activating her magic. She suddenly gasped. Her magic was reacting, but it wasn't strong. "Sombra!" She exclaimed and started to use her magic to heal him. "I won't let you die...not like this...not when I am with child..." Twilight said as she continued to work her magic. It wasn't long before Sombra began to move again. "Wh-where...am I...?" Sombra said slowly. Twilight shushed him. "It's okay my love...do not speak." Twilight said, continuing her spell. "You were barely hanging in there. But I'm so happy that your alive." She said as she continued healing her one true love. "We should take some time to rest, but once we've rested enough..." Twilight added as she finished up. "...We need to start making plans; plans to overthrow Celestia and Luna so that we may rule Equestria." She finished with a grin. Sombra smiled at his queen. "That sounds nice..." Sombra said. "My only hope is that we can accomplish such a goal." He added. "I know we can do it, Sombra." Twilight said. "Together, we can do it. We just have to be smart about it. First, we should take back the Crystal Empire, and then think of where to go from there. But first, we'll need a much bigger army. Not to mention we need time to recover. No one will find us here in this cave. It's too far into Everfree Forest for search parties to even dare tread." She explained. "It's the perfect place to start planning our revenge." Twilight finished with a smirk. "Twilight..." Celestia said weekly as Luna healed her. "She was too far gone...she's become another Starswirl..." Celestia added. "As much as it pains me to admit it, the haste and determination that Twilight exhibited proves only one thing: That what your saying is true. I wonder if she's so far gone, that even her friends can't reach her." Luna said. "I don't know...do you think it'll make a difference?" Celestia asked. "It wouldn't hurt to at least try..." Luna said. "Cadence..." Shining Armor rushed to his wife. "Honey, you look ill...is something wrong?" He asked. "It's Twilight..." Cadence said, shivering like she had seen a ghost. "I felt something...something evil..." She said. "I don't think she's our twilight anymore...” "I really hope the princesses can bring Twilight back." Spike said as he and Twilight's friends hung out in sugarcube corner. "But what if the two of them won't be enough? We should've gone with." Pinkie Pie said. "All we can do is pray..." Rarity said. "I don't like this. I should've gone with at least." Rainbow Dash said. "We all wish we had done so..." Applejack said. "Even me...I may be scared of Sombra but..." Fluttershy had a look of determination on her face. "But it would be for Twilight!" She added. Celestia soon arrived. No Twilight, just Luna. "...I had a sinking feeling..." Spike said. "We're sorry...Sombra has corrupted her more then we thought he did." Celestia said. "But perhaps, if she were to hear from you all, she might snap back into reality." Luna said. "Just what we needed to hear!" Rainbow Dash said. "We should figure out a way to find them though...no doubt their in hiding somewhere were it would be difficult to find them..." Fluttershy said. "Ah agree." Applejack said. "But we won't give up." Pinkie Pie said. "I couldn't have said that better myself, darling." Rarity said. Luna and Celestia smilled. "We shall leave finding them to the six of you. Me and my sister must make preparations...just on the off chance you fail. But I really hope you can get through to her." Celestia said. "You can count on us!" Spike said. "Just be wary should she decide to attack you..." Luna said. "If she does, run." She added. The girls and spike all nodded in agreement. In the cave, Twilight had used the creation spell to make things more livable for their week's rest. Even a bed big enough for the both of them. Twilight helped Sombra into bed before joining him. "It'll be a long week..." Sombra said. "But it'll be worth it." Twilight said. She had a plan in case her friends showed up. With the aid of Dark magic, Twilight would force her friends to see things her way. Including Spike.
Chapter 1 - Recovery PeriodTwilight brought Sombra a small meal. "It's not much, just something I whipped up." She said as Sombra began eating. "I know it's in-between meal times, but the extra bit of food will help you recover magic faster." Twilight added. Sombra didn't take long to finish. It was a rather small meal. "And I'll need my magic to recover quickly if we plan on confronting your brother and sister-in-law." Sombra said. "Chances are likely we'll have to kill them both." He added. "I know. But if my friends confront us...I was wondering if by chance you have a brainwashing spell we could use on them." Twilight asked. "And why pray tell would you not want them dead?" Sombra asked. "Because if they are brainwashed, then the elements of harmony can be used for our side." Twilight said. "In that regard, it makes more sense to keep them alive then to kill them." She added. "Makes sense. Still, there has to be a second reason why you would hold them so close to yourself." Sombra said. "Sombra, I love you with all my heart. But if I can have both you and my friends, then that would make me happy. Plus, unlike my brother and sister-in-law, they most likely have no idea about what happened in canterlot. And if they do, then Celestia told them, which still makes them innocent to me. But my brother and sister-in-law...with one being another Alicorn and the other a former captain of the royal guards, I just see no reason to keep them around." Twilight explained. "Very well Twilight. Once my magic has recovered enough, I will teach you the brainwashing spell on the off chance your friends find us before we begin our campaign." Sombra said. Twilight smiled. "Of course my love. Better to be safe then sorry." Twilight said and left the room and into a board room she had prepped in advance for their conquest. "Sombra actually agreed to the brainwashing spell. Nice." Twilight said and crossed that off her small personal list. "With that done, the next step is to wait for Sombra to recover." She said. Over the next few days, Twilight would always give Sombra a small meal to eat in-between meals during the afternoon times. Meanwhile, Twilight's friends would do their best to locate the duo with no luck so far. And today, Sombra had recovered enough to teach Twilight the brainwashing spell. Since it's a very small power spell, to test it, Sombra suggested Twilight grab a few animals from around the forest. Which she did. "This should be enough." Sombra said. "First, observe the spell in action." He said and used the spell on a small squirrel. It's eyes soon became a pure green as it stood to attention. "I should mention, depending on the thought put into a brainwashing spell, one can make anyone do any particular thing." Sombra said before demonstrating by using the spell on a different squirrel, only difference was that this one ran up to Sombra before climbing onto his back. "With just a small adjustment, one squirrel is no different then a soldier, while another is now my own personal pet animal." Sombra explained. "Right. I think i get it. With the right adjustment, I can use this spell to make my friends see what we are doing as the right thing to do." Twilight said. She decided to test this on a fox she had found. Sure enough, he went over to her. "So little fox, tell me: Do you agree that me and Sombra ruling Equestria with an iron hoof is what you want?" Twilight asked the fox to which the fox simply nodded at. "Good. That is all for now." Twilight said and the fox went off into the woods. Twilight repated this with two more animals before she felt like she got the hang of it. "Such mastery…with little effort you have already mastered the spell's use the way you need to use it on your friends." Sombra said. "It's quite easy once I got the hang of it. Now for me to see if I can cast it on multiple creatures at once." Twilight said and turned to the rest of the animals. "Wait Twilight...not so soon...I haven't taught you..." Sombra tried to say before Twilight suddenly cast the brainwashing spell that she had been casting on the rest of the animals. "Tell me animals of the forest: Do you agree that Sombra and I ruling Equestria with an iron hoof is what you want?" Twilight asked. All the animals nodded in unison. "Good. You may leave." Twilight said and the animals left. "Impressive...with very little effort and very little observation, you've already mastered group brainwashing..." Sombra said. "I already had the building blocks in place. Using the knowledge I had from the multi-target dark spells you've taught me and applying their logic to the brainwashing spell, it was very easy to do." Twlight said. Sombra chuckled. "And here I was worried you wouldn't be ready to cast a group brainwashing spell. Yet you've mastered it with ease." Sombra said. "Thank you Sombra." Twilight said, smiling. Already she was looking forward to taking over the Crystal Empire. There's just going to be one small hurdle first...
Chapter 2 - Fall of the Crystal EmpireA few more days have passed since Twilight learnt the brainwashing spell. The two of them were ready to take control of the Crystal Empire now. And with the creation spell, many soldiers were created. In fact, with some extra magical knowledge from Twiilight, their army soon become infinite thanks to a douplication spell Twilight decided to add in. "A light based spell...and yet it serves our purposes well." Sombra said, smiling. Twilight nuzzled her love. "It'll be difficult for me to kill my brother and sister-in-law. Which is why I would rather you do it. I might hesitate. And we can't have that." Twilight said. Sombra nodded. "Indeed. They weren't there for the battle, but no doubt Celestia has your brother on your hide now too." Sombra said. "Now it's time for the first phase of our plan." Twilight said, smiling before taking on the form of a normal unicorn, but one that was more pinkish. "...I've been working on a disguise spell for myself. Now watch it pay off." Twilight said and went into the crystal empire... "I really hope Twilight's not corrupted by that no-good bastard Sombra or at least something that he enchated." Shining Armor said. "Wait a second..." He said before he came to a realization. "That's it! Twilight must have found something Sombra enchanted, and became corrupted by it. If I can get that said object away from her, there may be a way to save her!" Shining Armor exclaimed. Suddenly a royal guard pony burst through the doors. "What's the rush?' Cadence said. "The crystal heart has been stolen, your highnesses!" the royal guard said. "WHAT?!" Shining Armor exclaimed. "Did you see who did it?" He asked. "Yeah. She was pink and had the cutie mark of a purple diamond covering up a four point white burst with a cyan flame coming from it." The guard pony said. "That's weird...I've never heard of a pony like that." Cadence said. "Did you get her name?" Shining Armor asked. "She called herself Starlight Glimmer..." The guard pony said. Twilight soon arrived back to Sombra with the Crystal Heart in tow before removing her disguise. "Phew...that was easier then I thought it'd be." Twilight said, smiling. "Oh? How was it so easy, if you don't mind me asking?" Sombra asked. "Simple. I used an alias. Starlight Glimmer." Twilight said. Sombra chuckled. "Sounds like that could've been the name of your sister if you had one." Sombra said. "I don't..." Twilight said. "Only a brother who will soon be dead." She said. "Let's not waste time though." Sombra said. The entire army charged forward. "Your highness, we're under attack by unknown soldiers!" A guard pony said to Shining Armor. "What the..." Shining Armor said and took out his telescope. Only to see a giant army being lead by two ponies. Two very familiar ponies. "King Sombra...dammit." Shining said. "Everyone to arms. If you can, subdue Twilight but whatever you do, do not cause harm to her. She's being brainwashed by that Tyrant King." He commanded. "Yes sir!" The entire guard said. "Too late..." It was King Sombra's Voice. He was suddenly there in the throne room with Twilight. "Sorry about this brother...if you weren't so keen on killing me...then I wouldn't have to kill you." Twilight said. "Twilight, listen to me...I would never want to kill you..." Shining Armor said. "Your being corrupted by Sombra, fight it!" He said. Twilight shook her head. "Not you too. First Celestia and Luna, and now you too?" Twilight asked. "Like I thought...you want me dead." She said and started to fight the royal guards there. "Sombra, deal with them my darling." Twilight called out. "So sorry, princy..." Sombra said before he plunged his horn into Shining Armor's chest. "But I'm afraid your sister is now my Queen of Shadows!" He laughed as Cadence soon arrived. "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, otherwise known to Twlight as Princess Cadence." Sombra aknoweldged. "Shining Armor...you killed him...you killed the father of my child!" Cadence said. "Your with child too? Heh...sorry, but I can't let you give birth." Sombra said before doing the same thing to her. And with her death, so too did her unborn baby die. Sombra's Army soon occupied the Crystal Empire and with a quick Brainwashing spell from both Twilight and Sombra combined, the entirety of the Crystal Empire was under their command. "Now we can begin making preperations for the birth of our child." Sombra said to his Queen. Twilight smiled. "But of course my love. And after a couple of months after he or she is born, perhaps we can work on getting him a brother or sister to play with." Twilight said. Sombra laughed. "Just how many children are you thinking about having, my queen?" Sombra asked. "As many as your willing to give me." Twilight said, smiling happily. Sombra returned the smile. "Let's let our first child grow for a few years, then work on giving them a brother or a sister to look after." Sombra said. "Works for me." Twilight said. Author's Note Yep, I used Starlight Glimmer as Twilight's disguise because she won't be a part of this story otherwise.
Chapter 3 - The ElementsIt's been a week since Twilight and Sombra took over the Crystal Empire. However, due to the brainwashing spell, no one would know that the crystal empire had been taken over until it was too late. "No..." Celestia said as she looked over towards the Crystal Empire. She had lost contact with Cadence and started to grow worried. But one look towards the crystal empire confirmed her suspecions. "It might be too late after all..." Celestia said. "Dammit...and I just sent the other elements to their death." She added. The remaining main 6 members plus Spike were on a train that lead to the check point station a few miles from the crystal empire. "Dammit...this looks bad. Our best bet is to get Twilight back and then restore the empire" Applejack said. "Let's just hope Twilight isn't too far gone." Rainbow Dash said. "I really want her to be alright." She said. "We all do, Rainbow." Rarity said. "Especially me." Spike said. "It's scary, but I'll try my best too." Fluttershy chipped in. "And then we can have a 'twilight has returned to us' party." PInkie Pie said. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. "Never change Pinkie. Never change." Spike said. They got off at the checkpoint station, and headed towards the Crystal Empire, only to see a pink Unicorn fleeing from the place. "Whoa! Hold up there..." Applejack said, stopping the unicorn. "Wh-who are you guys?" The unicorn asked. "I'm Applejack, that's Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. Who are you?" Applejack said. "M-my name is Starlight Glimmer..." The unicorn said. "I was just at the Crystal Empire when it was suddenly attacked by all these wierd ponies lead by King Sombra and some purple alicorn I don't recognize." She added. "King Sombra is still alive?!" Spike exclaimed. "Twilight...Sombra must have her deep." Rainbow said. "But we're not about to give up on her. Starlight, can you help us sneak in the palace?" She asked. "Sure thing..." Starlight said. Little did any of the group know that Starlight Glimmer was really Twilight Sparkle in a very elaborate disguise. Starlight AKA Twilight lead the elements through to the crystal palace and to the throne room. It was empty. "...Where the hell is King Sombra?" Applejack askd Starlight. "Chill Applejack." Pinkie Pie said. "I doubt Starlight here knows where he is." She said. "Honestly Applejack dear, you should just relax." Rarity said. Starlight smiled. "Yeah...I guess I did jump the gun a little. Sorry Starlight." Applejack said. "It's okay Applejack. I forgive you." Starlight said. "Your a nice mare, Starlight. When we get Twilight back to us, you would make an excellent addition to her group of friends." Fluttershy said. "I can work with that. A 'we got back twilight and made a new friend in the process' party." Pinkie Pie said. Starlight giggled. This reminded her so much of their friendship. "You five girls are some of the nicest ponies I've had the pleasure of meeting." Starlight said. "That's kind of their thing." Spike said. "You'll get used to it. Eventually." He said. I already have. It's just nice to be reminded of it. Starlight thought to herself, smiling. Not much longer now. She just had to keep the six distracted long enough. "Let's not seperate ourselves. No telling where those two ponies might be." Starlight said. "Your right Starlight. Everyone, stick together." Applejack said. Not knowing that she and the rest of the gang all fell for a trap. "Hold on..." Spike said sniffing the air. "I smell Twilight..." He said. Crap! I was hoping to avoid having to... Starlight AKA Twilight was thinking when suddenly the five ponies and dragon found themselves surrounded by black crystals. Just in time, Sombra Starlight smiled. "It's King Sombra!" Rarity said, noticing the stallion in question heading towards them all. "Starlight, run!" Pinkie Pie said. Starlight grinned evilly before she suddenly dropped her disguise. "Tw-Twilight?!" All five ponies and spike exclaimed at once. "Hello girls. I meant what I said by the way: You five girls are the nicest ponies I've had the pleasure of meeting. I know that you could never ever ever bring yourselves to kill me. You would never be able to do so." Twilight said. "You tricked us..." Applejack said. "But for the all the right reasons. I wanted you to join me and Sombra." Twilight said. "After all, what good is it if I don't have my friends along for the ride?" Twilight said with an evil smirk on her face. "We'll never get corrupted by him! Fight him, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash...never once did I say I'd corrupt you." Twilight said. "Then what are you going to do to us, Twilight?" Rarity asked. "Please don't make me have to throw a 'we couldn't save twilgiht' pity party..." Pinkie Pie said. "Oh Pinkie Pie, you will be throwing no such pity party in fact..." Twilight's horn glowed. "...You'll soon be throwing a friendship reunion party for all of us." She added. "Twilight..." Fluttershy said before suddenly Twilight cast the group brainwashing spell. "I do hope you understand the reason for this my friends..." Twilight said. "But honestly, I couldn't bring myself to kill any of you either." She added. "We understand Sugarcube..." Applejack said as the girls were released from crystal. "We're your friends Twilight. We don't mind supporting you and Sombra." Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah. And a friendship reunion party sounds like a great idea. Plus a 'Twilight's newborn child' party in the future." Pinkie Pie said. "Not to mention the designs I could work up for the two of you." Rarity pitched. "Just so long as I can take care of all the animals I'm good." Fluttershy said. Twilight turned to spike and frowned. "Spike, why do you resist me?" Twilight asked. Unlike the others, Spike was resisting the brainwashing. "Twilight...please...stop...this...this...isn't...you..." Spike said slowly. "Spike..." Twilight said. "Don't make this difficult for me. I still need my number one assistant." She added. "No...not...your assistant..." Spike said. "Or do you think of me...as more of your mother?" Twilight asked. That did it. Spike caved. "...I do, mom..." Spike said. "I do..." He said. Twilight smiled. She knew that would work. In her heart she knew that would work. Sombra gave his wife a loving kiss which Twilight returned. Today was a good day. Author's Note Honestly, I couldn't bring myself to kill off any of Twilight's friends. Bad ending or not, Twillight should always have her friends.
Chapter 4 - Twins?!As Twilight and Sombra began making preperations for their upcoming battle against Celestia, Twilight suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Sombra...it's coming...the baby's coming..." Twilight said. "Be calm my queen..." Sombra said before he teleported her to the hospital they had made. "My wife is about to give birth, we need a doctor, now!" He yelled. In no time at all, a doctor did indeed help them. But Twilight didn't just have one child that day... "TWINS?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Yeah. Two baby girls in fact..." Twilight said. She was holding her two newly born daughters in her hooves. "Meet Star Bright and Bright Star..." She said. Star Bright was a darker purple color then Twilight was. But what was the most shocking about her was that she was born an Alicorn. Which is something everyone was shocked by. Meanwhile Bright Star took on a dark gray coat; making her a lighter color coat then the one she inherited from her father. Unlike her sister, Bright Star was born a normal Unicorn. "Wait where's Sombra?" Pinkie Pie asked. She then noticed a passed out King Sombra on the floor. "...He's been like that ever since he found out we were having twins and then finding out that one of our daughters was born an alicorn." Twilight said. "How long do ya reckon he'll be out for Twilight?" Applejack asked. "When the shock wears off, which will in an hour, give or take." Twilight said. "I think your two baby girls are just lovely darling." Rarity said. "I think their both so adorable." Fluttershy said. "Thanks girls. I don't know what I'd do without you and Sombra here for this." Twilight said, smiling. In canterlot, Celestia was sweeting feverishly. A while ago, she had just felt the birth of an alicorn; something beyond even the understanding of her and her sister. "Tia...did thou feel that surge of power a while back?" Luna asked as she watched her sister continue to sweet feverishly in bed. Of all the times for this to happen, it was during royal court. "Yes...I did Lulu..." Celestia said. "And the dark power I felt from it has left me bedriidden." She added. "It must mean Twilight has given birth to a baby Alicorn. Which only makes saving her all the harder." Luna said. "Sister we must face the truth..." Celestia said. "Twilight is gone. In her place is the widow of a monster. A monster we killed." She said. "Is thou so certain? For a while, I felt another dark presence. I think Twilight may have somehow revitalized Sombra." Luna said. "Then all hope to save Twilight is lost. We must prepare for war." Celestia said. Author's Note Shorter chapter this go around, but I wanted the birth of Twilight's first two children to take place in it's own chapter without realizing just how short such a chapter could become. I'm gonna go my bad on this one, and try to format one of these "birthing" chapters later. And yes, that means there will be more births to come.
Chapter 5 - Canterlot Falls (sex inside)"It is time." Twilght said. It's been five long years, but here she was with her friends, her husband, and her two daughters. Sombra and Twilgiht both decided to wait until after they conquered Equestria to try for more children. "Mommy...what do you want us to do?" Star Bright asked. "Sweeties, I want you to stay out of the fighting okay? Can you both do that for your mommy and daddy?" Twilight asked. "Sure thing mommy." Bright Star said and the two twins ran off somewhere. "The army advances in thirty minutes..." Sombra said. "This is it girls. Today Canterlot...tomorrow the rest of Equestira!" Twilgiht shouted. "It is true...Sombra is still alive." Celestia said. "And what's worse, Twilgiht's friends are all brainwashed too." She said and sighed. "Dammit...how could I let this happen?" She asked. "Your majesties you must flee and live to fight another day." The royal guard said. "Understood. Hold out for as long as you can." Celestia said and left with Luna. "Dammit...we missed them..." Twilght said as they finished clearing the castle. "Should've known they'd flee. The cowards." Sombra said. Their daughters returned with five fillies with them. "Hey mommy...can you do the thing?" Star Bright asked. "Yeah! I think these five fillies will make great friends for us." Bright Star said. Twilght smiled as she recognized three of the fillies. "Hello Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo..." Twilight said. "What does she mean do the thing Twilght?" Scootaloo asked. "Please don't kill us..." Sweetie Belle asked. "We don't even care what you do to us...just don't kill any of us!" Apple Bloom begged. "Please..." Diamond Tiara said. "Have mercy..." Silver Spoon said. "Kill you? You five girls? Never." Twilght said before reading the brainwashing spell. "In fact, I could never kill you girls. Instead, I think I agree with my daughters." She said, smiling as she continued to charge the group brainwashing spell. "Daughters?!" The five fillies exclaimed at once before Twilght cast the group brainwashing spell. "How are you girls feeling?" Star Bright said. "Couldn't be better, Star Bright!" Apple Bloom said. "So what do you say we find ourselves someplace away from here..." Scootaloo began. "And work on getting you two your cutie marks?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Sure thing." Bright Star said. "I bet it'll be loads of fun." She added. "Oh you two are in for one Tartarus of a treat!" Diamond Tiara said. "Yeah, you will be doing all sorts of things to try and find your special talents." Silver Spoon said. "Huh...makes me wonder if there's any time and effort put into it..." Star Bright said. "Gee...we didn't think of that before..." Scootaloo said. "It makes sense in hindsight." Sweetie Belle said. "The past is the past. Besides, you found your cutie marks that way. it just won't work for any one else." Diamond Tiara said. "Good idea." Apple Bloom said. "Are you two...dating?!" Bright Star asked. 'WHAT?! NO!" Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara both exclaimed at once. "Oh yes!" Twilight said as Sombra began to ram her. "FUCK ME MY LOVE! MAKE LOVE TO ME THIS NIGHT!" Twilight Screamed as Sombra fucked his wife. "It may be a little early to do this, my love..." Sombra said as he continued. "But it'll be well worth it." He said as he continued. Throughout the night, sounds of loud moaning and screams of pleasure can be heard from the royal canterlot bedroom.
Epilogue: The Hunt Goes OnTwilight's P.O.V. It's been a few months since me and Sombra took over Canterlot. In that time, our armies have managed to take over a few other cities to expand our shadow empire. Unfortunately, Celestia and Luna have yet to be found. They must be hiding very well. They may even have fled equestria as a whole. I'm sure we'll find them eventually. Life has been swell during that time. Not really a lot has changed. A few of my friends have even found mates of their own. There was some issue with the Wonderbolts at once point, but one group brainwashing spell later and a uniform change, the wonderbolts are now the Shadowbolts. And even though me and Sombra were ready to put Rainbow Dash in charge of the new Shadowbolts, she insisted on working her way up normally. She's currently only in the reserves, but I have a feeling that before the end of the year, she'll be a full fledged Shadowbolt. She and Soarin have even been going out with one another. As for the others, not much has changed. Applejack still works on her farm, Pinkie Pie still hosts parties, Rarity still makes dresses and other clothing items (she even made the new Shadowbolt uniforms), and Fluttershy still cares for the various animals. When it comes to the CMC, well...they haven't changed much either. My daughters have been enjoying playing with those girls a lot though. They are more or less all the best of friends now. Though according to Star Bright, Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara are dating now. I'm not sure how long it'll last, given Diamond Tiara's past, but I'm willing to look past that and see where things go in regards to that. So far it seems to be going fine. As for me and Sombra...well of course I love him with all my heart. I'm even pregnant again. I just hope I don't have twins for a second time. That would start to cause a pattern. A pattern I don't know if Sombra and I can both keep up with. And I know he's worried about the concept of me having twins a second time in a row even if he never shows it. When he's alone with me, he's such a gentle colt. I get that he has to be ruthless to the public so that they know better then cross him. Right now, with Celestia and Luna still around, they are the only real threat to our shadow empire. But we will find them. And we will kill them. Until then... The hunt goes on... Author's Note Short epilogue I know. And yeah, I decided to leave the ending open ended because I was super running out of ways to keep this story interesting for everyone. So if someone wants to make a continuation of this story as a one-shot or something, I give you express permission to do so.
