My Little Pony: Equestria Girls-Crystal problem

After Sombra falls out of the passage, the others rush over to try to get him back on his feet.

The human version of Sombra is 6'3" and has a muscular (but not overly muscular) build with a dark grey colour, while his long, shoulder-length hair is jet black.
His eyes remain a deep red. His clothing includes a brown suit with a red tie and a badge resembling his beauty mark on the right side.
On his left hand is a bracelet that is a modified version of his Band.
He is also wearing black long trousers and black dress shoes.

As he tries to recover from a slight dizziness, others gathered around him and, holding him by the arms on either side, tried to lift him to his feet,

"Are you all right, Mister Sombra?" asked Sunset, standing in front of Sombra.

Sombra, after regaining consciousness, says with his eyes closed, while holding his head with his left hand, "I'm fine, just a bit sore!"-then he is surprised by the strange feeling of a body part on his head, and sees his hand vaguely, then after a few seconds clearly.

"Ah... what are those?" asked Sombra, startled, then even more startled after seeing the look of the others, because for a brief moment, vaguely Sunset and her friends looked like the human-like creatures that he and Luna had seen while in the shadow leader's world.

He almost fell from fright, but the others prevented him from falling because, although Sombra's musculature and height gave him a bit of weight, they could easily prevent him from falling with Applejack's help, because the strange necklace around her neck gave her super strength.

Once on her feet with the help of the others, Sombra tried to balance herself, which she managed to do after a little while.

"Are you sure you're all right?" asked Sunset worriedly.

"Ah, I'm fine! ...it's just a little hard to get used to this new body," Sombra said, then remembered something, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself... my name is Sombra," he said kindly, then held out his hand to Sunset.

"My name Sunset Shimer," Sunset introduced herself as she held out her hand for a handshake, which Sombra accepted, "By the way, Twilight has already told us about you, and it's a pleasure to meet you, King Sombra!"

Sombra was surprised to hear the name, but waited for Sunset to finish her speech, then asked in a surprised tone, "Are you Miss Sunset? ..." he said, and then continued, smiling slightly, "Miss Twilight has already told me about you, and said that your progress is admirable..." he said kindly, and Sunset smiled at his kind words, "And you can call me Sombra, because I don't expect to be called King or Your Majesty by the inhabitants of another world...

By the way, it's nice to meet you and the others, too!" he turned his head to the others standing around Sunset.

Then the others introduced themselves, in the following order:

Sci-Twi, who was extremely excited to find out all about Sombra's crystal knowledge and dark magic.

Pinkie Pie, with her usual hyperactive glee, shook hands with Sombra, who declared that she looked very much like Cotton Candy.

With a happy smile Pinkie declares, "I like that name!" At this, the others begin to giggle at her statement.

Rarity, after introducing herself and shaking hands with Sombra, noticed the ornate bracelet on his left hand, which was a modified version of Sombra's Band, and was impressed by its appearance, and asked what she was, while pointing to the bracelet.

Here, Sombra explains that she inherited it from her father, while she was happy that it had not hurt her.

Fluttershy introduced herself with her usual kindness and soft speech, while smiling faintly.

Rainbow Dash, who has rainbow-colored hair and light blue skin, and whose outfits include black and white sneakers, a white T-shirt, blue jacket, and a pink and white miniskirt, and black tights, said casually to Sombra, "From what I've heard about you, you are without a doubt 20% cooler than anyone I've ever met!" Sombra thanked her for her words.

Next up was Applejack, whose skin was a light beige color and who wore a cowboy hat over her long blonde hair, which was tied back with a red headband.

Her outfit included a green and white t-shirt with a red apple hanger, a denim miniskirt with a red belt, and long-stemmed leather boots in shades between dark brown and light brown, with apple hangers in light brown and red.

She declared of Sombra's strong physique, "With a physique like that, he'd definitely make a good farmer!" Sombra also thanked her for her words.

The last three were Cadance, Celestia and Luna.

As the others introduced themselves, Sombra was surprised that they had the same names as her friends in the other world, and then, when they finished, she would speak up:

"Interesting... So much in common in our world, but so many differences at the same time..."

"After all, it's another world, so there may be similarities, but also differences...," as Twilight spoke, she adjusted her glasses, "but it's the transformations and time dilation that make it seem like our world or your world may be some sort of pocket dimension."

"A pocket dimension? ... What's that?" asked Sombra inquiringly.

"We speak of a pocket dimension when there is a secondary, smaller Universe attached to the universe, which can only be accessed by a specific means, and where time and space exist according to the same or different laws as our universe, or may exist differently," but really, science says it's just a theory... but from what I've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true... but I do think it is true!"

"Thank you, now I understand... I think..." whispered Sombra the last two words, then suddenly he thought of something, -Oh, I almost forgot..., -he turned to Cadance, -Miss Twilight said there were pictures of that crystal... If I could, could I see them? ...

But I can't tell you much information unless I can see the crystals that leaked this stuff in person...

But don't get me wrong, it would be nice if I could see those photos, because it would be nice to see what the liquid material looks like!"

"Sure thing..., hold on a second," Cadance said after listening to Sombra's speech as she took the photos out of her bag and handed them to Sombra, who took them and began to analyze them carefully as he began to walk around getting used to the new body language he was getting used to relatively quickly.

"To be honest, the wings were harder to get used to!" thought Sombra absentmindedly as he looked at the pictures.

After some time, he began to list possible reasons.

"Looking at the crystals like this," he began his explanation, then pointed to the crystals as the others gathered in a circle, "it's probably crystal tearing...

But, as to what is causing it, I can only tell if I can see the crystals ACTUALLY."

"What's a crystal tearing?" asked Sci-Twi with great curiosity.

"Essentially, crystal tearing occurs when something unusual happens to the crystal... -seeing that the others were surprised at the last part of the sentence, Sombra began to explain, -Unusual includes something that has possessed, violated, contaminated, or something like that..."

"Do you think it's connected with the incident at school?" asked Cadance inquiringly.

"There's a possibility... but from what Twilight told me, from what Miss Sunset wrote to her, no such event occurred on the previous occasion...

And so it would be important for me to see it as soon as possible!" he announced with a serious expression.

Seeing Sombra's serious expression, they agree. Sombra then asks how I can get there, as he believes that this school is not Crystal Prep Academy, but rather Canterlot High School.

They tell her that they can only take the bus because Celestia's car is being used by a friend, Luna doesn't have a car because she lives just a few houses away from her work, and Cadance's car broke down.

Since Sombra doesn't live in this world, he declares, "I don't know what a bus and a car are... but, since you know this world better, listen to your words!"

They then walk to the bus stop, where the bus will arrive at 5:15 pm and then depart for Crystal Prep Academy.

And with Celestia and Luna no longer needed, they return to school.

But before that, they were wished good luck.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

While waiting for the bus, Twilight and Sombra talk to each other.

Sci-Twi asks Sombra about crystal magic and dark magic, while Sombra asks about this world.

When Sombra's crystal expertise comes to the fore, Sci-Twi is suddenly reminded of the 7 special crystals found in the Everfree forest that have been transformed into a necklace.

"Mr Sombra..." he began his question as he took the necklace off his neck and handed it to Sombra, "Would you take a look at these necklaces? -It may not show, but this one, - she held the necklace in her hand, -and the others, - she pointed to the necklaces hanging around her friends' necks, -7, different colored crystals have been transformed into this form... And since your ability revolves around crystals, I was hoping you could tell me some information about them."

"If they are made of crystal, then they certainly are..." said Sombra, and then took the necklace to look at it more closely, and then, after looking at the crystal more closely, began to explain the name of the crystal, and its abilities.

"This necklace has none other than a multi-coloured geode crystal, which can have the same colours as the rainbow.

These can give different powers to people who do not have magical abilities, and the more the wearer has the more powerful they become, but they can also corrupt the mind.

Such crystals are formed when White Fairy Crystal absorbs high magical energy, and then small geode crystals of 5-10 different colors grow out of it, and magenta crystals can be formed as a by-product..., - he finished his explanation, and then Sombra turned to the others, with a curious face -Where did you find these?"

Here they are told that the crystals were found in a cave by a camp proprietor named Glorriossa, whose camp and cave are located in a place called Everfree Forest. She intended to use these crystals to save her camp from a rich, money-hungry businessman, but instead she corrupted her and wanted to keep everyone in the camp.

Eventually, Sci-twi used her magic to free him from the corrupting power of the combined power of the crystals, and these crystals were transformed into a necklace of the same colour, and then one of each was given to each of the members of the Mane 7.

"How did they get there?" was Sombra's next question.

Sunset explained that her ability had allowed her to see from Gloriossa's memory a magenta gemstone-like thing floating into the cave where the 7 crystals had come from. This happened the day after the Friendship Games, which they found out after Gloriossa told them when the event happened.

Then Sombra asks, "Where did this magenta gem-like powder come from?"

Twilight tells him that they're not sure, but they saw a similar-looking one on a recording that Principal Celestia showed them the day after they returned from their camping trip.

This recording was taken by a camera placed in a hall at Canterlot High School, because the camera had a perfect view of the statue that served as a gateway.

The recording clearly showed a small rift opening at the top of the sculpture, from which things similar in appearance but resembling a different colour of gemstone dust flew out, and then the rift closed, while the recording was made at the time the charity party was taking place at Camp Everfree.

It is speculated that this is where the magenta gemstone dust may have come from, but no evidence has yet been found.

"And what caused this?" asked Sombra.

"According to Princess Twilight Sparkle, the destruction of the statue of the horse at the top of the statue may have been due to the disappearance of the statue, which she believes caused the gate to become unstable and its own stored magic plus the magic of Equestria to flow into this world." -revived Sci-Twi's explanation of Twilight.

(Oh yes, that's another interesting fact about the gate. It's able to store enough energy from the log for one trip once it's removed.)

Sunset then says that she thinks they are destined to own these necklaces.

Before the others can express their agreement, Rainbow Dash suddenly announces that the bus is coming.

After boarding the bus, which has no passengers, Cadance buys Sombra a bus ticket, as he has no money to pay for it.

Sombra thanks her, and says that he'll pay her somehow, but Cadance says that just helping him solve this mystery is enough.

They then sat down in the back of the bus and at 5:15pm the bus left for the Crystal Prep Academy.
