The Revenge of the Shadows

by YangSoulSplitted


Playing With the Stallions

Luna was so happy she could’ve died there and wouldn’t regret a thing.

Okay, maybe having sex with the one who turned Shining Armor into crystal, but he’s not dead.

Or the fact that she betrayed her sister by loving Sombra, but she wasn’t the one to blame! Damn heart does what it wants!

And let’s be real, Sombra knows what to kiss, how to kiss and when to kiss.

“I need to say” he whispered to Luna’s ear making her blush “Even after a millennia, you’re still that really sensible mare I fell in love with” he kissed Luna’s neck softly making the Princess giggle like a fool foal.

“And you, Sombra, are as charming as ever…" Luna said in a soft voice while she stood up from her bed and then sighed "but I can’t let you do any more harm!” Luna rapidly turned and her horn shone with night magic making some shadows tie up Sombra, the stallion only smirked sexily and winked at Luna.

“I didn’t know you were into this Luna, this is a new phase that I love, unfortunately” with a dark shine from his horn the ties were undone and looked at Luna “I can’t let you stop me, if Nightmare Moon is not coming out the nice way, I’ll have to make her out the harsh way!” Sombra sent a black stream of magic at Luna but was casted off by a light yellow shield in front of her.

“Sombra, please, stop!” Celestia was standing at Luna’s door, Twilight at her right and Cadance at her left “I don’t want to hurt you again” the stallion laughed and smiled with evil shining in his eyes.

“Celestia, your reign is over, is time for shadows to take over, and if you’re not giving your crown willingly, sweet Luna here will suffer, just like you made her suffer a thousand years ago” Sombra smirked and Celestia turned her sight to Luna, worry and fear in her eyes.

“I can handle him sister! Do it, kill him!” Luna said angrily, Sombra sighed with boredom.

“Sisterly love” the stallion’s horn shone again and a giant wall of black crystals rose slowly from the ground, Celestia rapidly shot a yellow ray from her horn but Sombra protected himself from it with a black and red magic shield, Twilight and Cadence also sent magic spells towards Sombra, but the shield didn’t break, Luna was trying to attack him, but a part of her, a part she thought lost, didn’t allow her to hurt Sombra.

Little by little the crystals rose until they touched the ceiling, and it was only Sombra and Luna, Celestia, Cadence and Twilight started launching explosion spells but the wall of crystals didn’t budge at all.

“I am at your mercy Luna, decide, engage in battle or join me” Luna snapped from… whatever she had and launched several star-shaped rays at Sombra, he rose a shield made of crystals, the spells just bumped on it. After that, Sombra smiled blocking more of Luna’s spells, silver-colored rays, dark-blue streams of magic, he even could fade a gray-colored smoke, a sleeping spell perhaps? “I’m just going to tell you something Luna, you’re playing with the stallions now!”

All the room’s lights dimmed so the only thing Luna could see was her hoof in front of her, and suddenly Sombra´s voice could be hear all around the room.

By the darkness’ power!
Hate, Fear, Vanity, cruelty, wrath, revenge, sadism,

Sarcasm, superiority, nightmares, power, phobias, sadness, madness,
Grudges, uncertainty, ignorance, schemes, revolts, poison, darkness!

While saying that, images of ponies in distress appeared in front of Luna, and for every word they said, more images appeared and then started circling around Luna, every time faster.

Hate, Fear, Vanity, cruelty, wrath, revenge, sadism,
Sarcasm, superiority, nightmares, power, phobias, sadness, madness,
Grudges, uncertainty, ignorance, schemes, revolts, poison, darkness!

The images then disappeared and only Sombra- or at least his silhouette- remained standing at the other side of the room, surrounded by a black smoke.

We know that you are part of the Royals,
They have power to put us on the run

With a spark more smoke appeared, but Sombra did the contrary

Well, forgive our laughter and smiles
You’ll fear us and know we can fight them too
Love…

Sombra said behind Luna, who jumped and turned in his direction, magic ready in her horn, but he just banished with a poof, and other Sombra said the last with a wink, making Luna blush and more angry

You’re playing with the stallions now,
You’re playing with the stallions now.

He slowly walked with a malefic grin in his face but Luna just growled.

“Is that so?” asked Luna defiantly and sent a stream of magic, but suddenly she became surrounded by Sombras, and the one that she could hit only vanished with another poof.

Ev’ry horn that’s shining, Casts a new spell

Sombra’s horn shone green and two Sombra’s said at the same time.

You’re playing with the stallions now

And then the other Sombras started chanting.

By the darkkness’ power!

Sombras started cricling Luna, she pointed and shot but the ones that poofed were replaced by other Sombra right away.

You’re playing with the stallions now

And again, that dreadful chanting.

Hate, Fear, Vanity, Cruelty!

Luna couldn’t focus, which was the real Sombra? When did he learned how to clone himself?! So she did a desperate move, she did a wave of lunar magic but it crashed against a big shield surrounding all Sombras.

You’re playing with the stallions now

Wrath, Revenge, Sadism, Sarcasm

Luna tried again the lunar magic wave but then it crashed doing no damage, so she tried to fled but more Sombras blocked her path.

Quit the basic magic!
You’re fighting royals, darling
Make a whole show of it, now!

Luna turned to the Sombras singing, they were pointing at her with their hooves.

Make stronger attacks, darling
You’re playing with the stallions now!

The other Sombras kept their sinister chanting, while the other two Sombras made a strange dance, Luna tried her best spells but they only bounced, when they finished the dance, they touched their horns and a big stream of dark green and red magic hit Luna at its full power making her crash on a wall.

You’re playing with the stallions now
You’re playing with the stallions now

Luna slowly stood up and made a silver-colored shield, but the Sombras where only circling around her

By the might of the Dark
You’ll never defeat us
Defeat our great dark power…
You put up a front
You put up a fight
And just to show we feel no spite
Nightmare Moon shall be our girl

They poofed into thin air and suddenly one appeared behind Luna- the part that wasn’t protected- and sent her flying with a magic shot, then, she was received with the other Sombra’s hooves in her face, after that, another shot of magic made her fly again against another wall, and finally, both Sombras appeared in front of her

But first, love, it’s time to bow
Or it's your own grave you'll dig, boy
You're playing with the big boys now
Playing with the big boys
Now!

While they were singing, Luna became surrounded in a strange smoke and started floating, and everything went black for her.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the wall nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard, and nothing could be done, until the crystals vanished and revealed Celestia’s worst fear, Luna was gone, so was Sombra.
