//------------------------------// // Under Their Reign // Story: The Revenge of the Shadows // by YangSoulSplitted //------------------------------// Morning strangely came... Luna was still doing her work to raise and lower the moon on its proper time. "This is odd..." Celestia said after finishing her main duty, her steps could be heard all around her room but she needed loneliness, she knew what everyone was thinking, that she didn't cared for her sister, that she couldn't find her because she didn't want to, but they were wrong, Luna was already with Sombra, and she knew what Sombra meant to her sister once... "I'm so sorry sister, but I promise I'll save you" she then teleported to the throne room, Twilight and her friend were already there. "Princess Celestia! Good Morning" Twilight quickly went near her and bowed, her mane and eyes showed that she couldn't sleep at all "I sent guards at Yakyakistan, but the snowstorm still is attacking the place, it seems that..." "That Luna is, in fact, there?" Celestia asked trying to hide her anger, Twilight just nodded, it wasn't Twilight's fault, Yakyakistan's snowstorm time was around that time of the year and since they took that into consideration it was obvious that they didn't considered Yakyakistan or near the nation as a hiding spot for Sombra and their allies. "Y-Yes..." said Twilight a little ashamed "I, uh..." she gulped "I sent two rescuing teams equiped with snow-clearing spells" Twilight smiled but Celestia only sighed. "Any notice of my sister?" Celestia asked trying to smile as she always did around Twilight. "Only the Lunar message she sent" Twilight looked at Celestia a little worried, she was trying to smile, but obviously she couldn't "are you okay, Princess?" Celestia didn't answered, maybe Twilight's voice was too low, so she didn't give it importance, everypony looked at Celestia and then she sighed. "Applejack, could you please bring me a big barrel of cider please? I know it's not something a Princess should do, but I really need to clear my mind" Applejack nodded and went running to wherever they had cider "Fluttershy, dear, after I drink a mug or two, would you like to come with me to the royal gardens?" Fluttershy nodded softly "and Rarity..." Suddenly, a gasp of surprise could be heard from the base of the castle. "Listen Canterlot!" Twilight became pale, that voice... that voice was Adagio's, but that couldn't be, could it? They had no powers! And of course, they couldn't go back to Equestria! "We are the Dazzlings, and there is a message we'd like you to listen!" everypony went to the balcony. Oh-whoa-oh Oh-Whoa-oh You didn’t know that they’re here Oh-whoa-oh Oh-Whoa-oh Now that you’re under their reign Twilight had no doubts now, those three singing were the Sirens, wha was Sombra's plans?! "Princess we can't let them sing!" she looked at Princess Celestia but she didn't answered, this time, Twilight's voice was loud an clear so she talked louder but it didn't fo a thing, everypony seemed to be... under the siren's spell. Blinded by all this sun And fooled by all this stupid love They had a very good chance Oh-Woah-oh-oh Now, good bye dear Princess Cadence An image of a statue in a cell froze Twilight's blood, Cadence was a statue made of crystal, she was in a laying pose with her head looking at someone "Cadence..." They got the magic, makes you fear them Got the power to destroy you They’ll say “jump” and you’ll do so! Let the old Princesses go! An image of Luna, Cadence, Twilight and Celestia appeared and was torn apart, appearing in its place an image of Chrysalis, Sombra and Nightmare Moon. They got the magic, got the darkness Heed them since this is their ruling They’ll bring darkness, they’ll bring fear Princess Celestia, goodbye dear! Suddenly, Celestia also turned into crystal, Twilight realized that she was too mesmerized by the spell and saw Sombra's horn dug into Celestia's heart, she shot a stream of magic, but Sombra only dissappeared. Oh-Whoa-oh-whoa You didn’t know that they came Oh-whoa-oh-whoa Now that you’re under their reign Chrysalis also appeared in the room smiling with mischief. "Well dear Princess, he hope you would be mesmerized by their singin as well... but since you're not, you'll have to become crystal the harsh way" Twilight just teleported before Chrysalis or Sombra could attack. Listen and mark all of my words Oh-Whoa-oh Soon you’ll find you don’t have a choice Oh-whoa-oh Captured in the web of their scheme Oh-whoa-oh Soon everything will come along Sombra teleported too leaving Chrysalis alone, who only turned her sight to the other 5 ponies, she slowly turned into Celestia. They got the darkness, got the hatred Got the magic, got the greatness They will reign and you’ll succumb What has happened can’t be undone She went to the place Celestia was before she made her dissappear to the cells in Sombra's Castle. They got the wisdom, got the experience You’ll obey to their great brilliance Canterlot will be the first Then Equestria will be theirs! Sombra reappeared with Twilight's statue, he seemed bruised and tired. "She was a hard one, but at the end we won" Chrysalis nodded smiling and made Twilight's statue dissappear as well "She was writing something... I guess I caught her when she was just starting, the book was blank" Whoa-oh-whoa-oh You didn’t know that you fell Whoa-oh-whoa-oh Now that you are under their reign Whoa-oh-whoa-oh You didn’t know that you fell Whoa-oh-whoa-oh Now that you are under their reign There were new monarchs in Equestria, and no one would stop them, and since the elements of harmony were out of service, they were going to be the ruling force from that day on. "Sunset, your backpack is shining" said a human Rarity. or... would they?
