The strangest thing he saw.
I was King Sombra, ruler of the Crystal Empire. I came to power once more a while ago and quickly, I managed to conquer this place faster than ever. I successfully dethroned the pink alicorn and threw her and her husband and daughter to a prison cell, if it was to shut their blasted curses. However, before I could think of finally having peace 6 mares who looked oddly familiar had suddenly burst through the doors to the throne room. They undoubtfully were familiar, especially the purple alicorn. Their rude interruption though wasn't for a nice greeting but rather a determined proclamation of defeating me. Although, I merely watched and laughed as they failed and fell right into my clutches. Such foolishness had truly caused them nothing more than the humiliation of falling limp with sorrow and horror right before my eyes. I was filled with delight at the sight. Sooner those 6 mares had become part of my collection of prisoners I have. I was somehow surprised that through the time passed Equestria's accursed alicorn rulers have yet to come and pay me a visit as well. Not that I cared much.
I rose up and off my throne. Descending down the steps that lead up I pondered what to do. I was bored so I thought that maybe paying a visit to my prisoners would somehow fuel my boredom. So I wandered out through the throne room doors and to the once bright blue and now onyx black crystal halls. I carried on with graceful and regal steps, as the king I was. A while after I appeared at the metal doors that held my prisoners on the other side. I undid the lock and used my red telekineses aura to push the double doors open. They budged wide with a heavy clang and bang. I then stepped in and my eyes drank in the sight of my guests.
They all didn't appear to be happy. A few of them simply shot me some icy glares. While others were just pretending to ignore or simply had their sorrow-filled expressions deepen with emotions. I regarded these actions and stepped in farther into the cell, a wicked grin now plastering its way onto my muzzle. A deep chuckle escaped me as I was the first to break the little silence.
"Greeting here to all my guests who have so generously agreed to keep my boredom company when I shall need it," I said.
Nothing came back. After another small silence, my response came from the blue pegasus.
"Shut up Sombra, we are and never will be your guests," Rainbow Dash boldly declared.
I raised an eyebrow at her but then shifted my gaze to another when another voice spoke up.
"Yeah, she's right, and even if ya had been successful at takin' o'er the Crystal Empire I'm darn sure that princesses Celestia and Luna are out there and are comin' up with ways to defeat ya," the gruff voice of Applejack stated. She then shifted her position from the ground and sat up, the chains on her rattling from the movement.
At that, I only gave a bark of cruel laughter. "Oh really, how would you be so sure earth pony."
Just then the Princess of Love spoke "don't call her that! She has a name!"
I then raised a mocking eyebrow at her and hissed out my reply. "I am king here, so I am free to do and say just whatever I wish."
Cadence gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to argue but was stopped as her husband gestured for her to not, and she listened.
I looked around the room. My glance slid across all the ponies. I found the rainbow-maned pegasus and the orange earth pony giving me venomous glares. I saw the white unicorn and the yellow pegasus looking at me with worried expressions in which the fear was clear to taste. I grinned with malice. My eyes then moved over to a pink earth pony. She was the weirdest I had known but all she did was twirl herself through the chain that restrained her with a big ridiculous grin. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and looked onto the Crystal Family. The alicorn and her unicorn husband were staring at me through piercing eyes. I only grinned back and then spotted a baby alicorn cradled in the older alicorn's forelegs. However, they weren't the only alicorns in the cell. The was another alicorn. This one was a part of the 6 mares who had come and tried to overthrow me. She was also the one that used dark magic to defeat me last time when I first returned after 1000 years.
She wasn't looking at me. In fact, her back was turned on me, and her head and right side were leaning against the wall. Her wings were bound and her horn was covered with black crystals to block off her magic. I grinned and walked over to her.
"Hey, don't you dare get near her," Shining yelled at me.
I ignored him and trotted closer and stopped behind her. Her friends and family watched with terror. "You know . . . ," I started. "You're just going to have to accept this fate, you know there is nothing you could do now to stop me."
Suddenly before I could continue I stopped short when I heard an eerie chuckle. I went silent and looked at the lavender mare.
"Clock. Is. Ticking. Clock. Is. Ticking," she whispered almost silently.
I stared intently until my eyes widened when she turned around. She was all fine . . . except . . . it was her expression that brought a tiny hint of fear in my veins.
She stood on all fours but her look . . . oh her look. Her teeth were shown but they looked disproportioned. Her eyes were wide and her irises were shrunk and almost looked like tiny dots.
I continued to stare but took a few steps back. And then I heard Rainbow's voice.
"Oh wait, don't tell me that she's going insane again," Dash shouted in fear.
As I stared all I mustered out of me was "what the fuck."
Twilight suddenly twitched and brought a hoof to her chest, looking like she was highly offended.
"Oh excuse me but you shouldn't be using such terrible language Sombra," she said as she lowered her hoof and gave me a freaky smile. Her irises shrunk more, one was out of place.
I didn't respond. After a while I questioned. "What in this entire fucking world happened to you. have you gone drunk or something?" I said And then looked to her friends. "Is she," I asked.
They all (except for Twilight) exchanged unsure glances.
And then I got my response from the white unicorn.
"Um I don't think I'm so certain about . . . well . . . Twilight of all ponies ever . . . drinking," Rarity said in the middle of stuttering.
And then I saw the rainbow mare correcting the unicorn. "What do you mean about not being certain? Were sure that Twilight of all ponies would ever drink."
"Well I was simply giving the main point," Rarity argued.
I turned to look at the purple mare again. She stared back. Her eyes were still wide and twitching. And her lips were still formed with her odd grin.
And then she started taking small steps towards me.
I took a few more steps backward.
"Hmmm," she started as she neared me. "You are quite . . . the most handsome of stallions aren't you?"
"what?" I said.
"What? You don't get it?" She said slowly. Her creepy smile soon returned. "Want me to teach you then," she asked with a rasp in her voice.
"Fucking. No. Thank you."
"Ohh well that's very rude of you."
She started getting closer and closer. I backed off more.
"You seem stressed. Want me to relieve that?"
I stared at her. Sweat started to fall down my brows.
"You know the only thing I'm stressed about here is you."
"Wait! What does stress mean?"
"It means when your fucking fucked out of your brain."
"Wait!"
I huffed in annoyance. "What?"
"What does fuck mean?"
My eyes first twitched and then I raised my hoof to smack it on my forehead. Her friends all gave each other horrified looks.
I started slowly. "I . . . I mean . . . it means . . . UGGGHHH TO FUCK SOMEONE!!"
This drew gasps from everyone around.
"And now how do you fu- mmmfff!"
She stopped short when I shoved a hoof against her muzzle. I then threw my head up and roared with fury. "OH, WOULD YOU FUCKING SHUT UP!!!"
Quickly, I then turned, and with my magic, I wrenched the metal doors of the prison cell open. And then I bolted out, slamming the doors shut behind.
