The War for Friendship

Prior to Cozy’s funeral, Queen Chrysalis had flown unseen over Equestria and witnessed the troops arriving and gearing up. She returned to the cave where the villains were gathered. She explained to everyone what was going on. Grogar was confused.

“I've never heard of these soldiers. Who exactly are they?”, he asked with a grunt.

King Sombra rolled his eyes in annoyance at the mention of the fleet while Chrysalis explained everything.

“This fleet is a group of warriors that is spread out across the observable universe. Some of the soldiers reside here on Equus. Together, they fought to protect every single inch of space from an evil entity that is more powerful than you.”, she said.

“Who could possibly be more powerful than me?”, Grogar asked.

“These soldiers fought to protect the universe from the devil, Satan. He is the master of lies, stealing, temptation, and many other bad deeds. At this point, they have destroyed him for good. However, your decisions to bring down Twilight and her friends were likely part of Satan’s work before he was destroyed.”, Sombra grumbled.

Grogar was speechless. He continued to explain his plans to team up, but Sombra wouldn’t listen. He was focused on fighting alone. Grogar relented and allowed him to attack by himself. Sombra had initially planned to take back the Crystal Empire, but he switched targets and chose to attack Canterlot first. During the 18 years of planning, Grogar had secretly taken bits and pieces of failed vehicles to build two aircrafts for the attacks, and one was for Sombra. He got into the cockpit and took off once he was confident that his weapons were primed and ready.

Before dawn the next morning, everyone was roused from sleep by the loud and ear-piercing SCREAM of air-raid sirens. Celestia rushed to a lookout and got word of Sombra’s aircraft entering the area. She called out over a loudspeaker and soldiers began running out to defend. At the same time, Cadence and Flurry Heart began getting troops ready to protect the Crystal Empire.

“OPEN FIRE!”, Brandon shouted.

The sky was illuminated in a heartbeat with spotlights, laser shots, flashes from gunshots, and exploding anti-aircraft shells. Sombra’s bomber jet was struck on the starboard wing slightly and his fuel tank was ruptured, but he was able to drop three bombs on the capitol and cause a raging fire near a weapons storage silo. Enraged, Link shot a heat seeking missile to chase Sombra down. No one was killed in the attack, but there were many wounded.

“The Crystal Empire is mine again.”, Sombra said to himself as he flew further north.

He knew that he was losing fuel, but he didn’t realize how fast he was running out until the gauge light started flashing when he was two-thirds of the way to the Crystal Empire.

“CURSE YOU, CHRISTIAN FLEET!!”, he growled as his plane tipped into a steep dive.

He managed to eject from the plane before the missile struck and detonated the remaining bombs, but he landed so hard that he broke his horn off. He had also knocked himself unconscious from the hard landing. When he woke up, he was standing on a trapdoor with a rope in front of him and his hooves were shackled. Looking around, he realized that he was in the Crystal Empire, but not how he wanted to be. He was standing on the gallows and looking into the eyes of Flurry Heart and Cadence who were burning with anger.

“ANY LAST WORDS, EVIL KING?”, Flurry hissed as she grabbed a lever with her aura.

Sombra said nothing and spat in Flurry’s face. Disgusted, she nodded to her mom.

Cadence put a hood over Sombra’s head, and then put the noose around his neck and tightened it. Flurry yanked the lever and Sombra dropped toward the ground. He felt the rope cinch against his throat and he felt his vertebra snap. Once it was confirmed that Sombra was dead, His lifeless body was cremated and his broken horn was sealed in a crystal and taken to a top-secret location deep underground. This location was designated for relics that were too dangerous to be possessed by anyone. After Twilight had conned Trixie into taking off the Alicorn Amulet, Celestia gave orders that it be taken to this location so it would never be used again.

Back in the cave, Grogar and the other villains observed Sombra’s demise.

“Serves him right for trying to attack alone.”, Tirek laughed.

Grogar nodded and continued setting plans for how the rest could attack if they worked together.
