Prologue: Preparing for the Final Fight
Within the ruins of the old castle of the Everfree Forest, Kaa and Sir Hiss watched alongside the Changeling Queen Chrysalis as Discord placed a black, curved Unicorn horn that's glowing red within a circle drawn into the floor, adorned with various patterns and with a few physical objects at certain points on the circle's circumference. The Draconequus then stood back out of the circle as the horn floated in its very center. Seeing that everything is all set, he held up a red tome with black markings glowing green with his tail.
"Okay," he said to the others as he looked at one of the pages, "now all I need to do is make sure that the moon is in the right position to fill up the whole circle with its light."
"I still don't understand why you insist on doing this," Chrysalis said to him as he looked up at the moon through the hole where the ceiling once was. "His dark magic was his downfall after all."
"He was like the brother I never had, Chrysalis," he said before turning to her with a glare. "As my stepsister, you should understand that."
Chrysalis just glared back at him with a growl at mentioning their relationship. Over a thousand years ago, before the Draconequus and the Changeling Queen gained their immortality, Discord's widowed father married her mother after her actual father's death when she was just a child. During that time, Discord was a young teenager who later became quite fond of his new stepmother; she reminds him so much of his late mother, who was a dear friend to her as Chrysalis's late father was a dear friend to Discord's father.
Despite their parents' friendship, Chrysalis wasn't exactly fond of her stepbrother because of godlike powers. While she has the power to transform into whatever she wishes, he can make the impossible possible. As a result, she became jealous of him. Either way, she chose to help him with this incredible task.
"Now will you just keep quiet so that I can work on this incantation?" Discord asked with annoyance. Chrysalis just returned the annoyance by looking away with a huff. Kaa and Hiss just looked at each other and shrug at the two superiors' issues. Sometimes it's best to just not ask or even say a word to them about it. They returned their attention to Discord as he began the spell from the tome:
"Ancient Shadows, hear my cries
Summon back the fallen with the magic that within you lies
Full moon that knows thy flight
I command to you…SUMMON HIM WITH THY LIGHT!"
The circle then started to glow white as the horn became fully red, and its aura became green. The horn then began to rise up until it was the height of Luna (counting the horn) before black smoke began to billow forth from the flat end of it. Hiss hid behind the frightened Kaa in fear, but Chrysalis and Discord stood their ground calmly as the smoke began to take the form of a Pony. It then glowed with the light of the full moon shining down upon it before it dissipated. And before the four of them stood Sombra, former king of the Crystal Kingdom infamous for his dark magic. He has on his red king's mantle, but Discord knows that his Cutie Mark is a dark-colored crystal glowing with a red-and-green aura. The Shadow Unicorn opened his red eyes and smiled menacingly when he saw Discord before him.
"Long time, no see, old friend," he said to him, his voice no longer echoing but still low enough to make Kaa and Hiss quiver with intimidation.
"Same here, Sombra," Discord replied, going up to him and clasping his claw with his held up hoof. "Sorry about your loosing the Crystal Kingdom to Cadence." Sombra simply sighed in reply.
"The Princess of True Love was truly a force to be recon with," he then said. "And for that, she has earned my respect."
"I've never depicted you as one who would give up that easily, Sombra," Chrysalis said with a smiling sneer. The Shadow Unicorn turned to her with an annoyed glare.
"A pleasure to see you again as well, Chrysalis," he replied calmly. "And I'll have you know, the Crystal Heart was too powerful for myself, or even you for that matter, to handle with its kind of magic…especially when Princess Cadence defeated you first and ruined your attempt to conquer Canterlot."
"THAT DEFEAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" she roared, causing Kaa and Hiss to slither over and behind Discord's legs with frightened cries.
"Alright, knock it off, Chrysalis," Discord said firmly. "You're scaring my snakes."
"Me?!" she snapped indignantly. "But Sombra insulted—"
"What we are discussing right now has nothing to do with your injured pride!" Chrysalis growled at him but stayed quiet afterwards. Discord and Sombra then turned to each other calmly.
"So what reason do you have for reviving me, Discord," the Unicorn asked, "although I'm very grateful to you for that?"
"I need your help in defeating the Bearers of Harmony so that you and I can win back our Princesses." Sombra frowned with another sigh.
"It has been so long since I have seen my beloved Luna," he stated. "She and Celestia had to lock me away in ice after I have used my dark magic to enslave the Crystal Ponies. I thought I can bring some good with my dark magic, perhaps find some way to aid the Crystal Heart in protecting the kingdom, but…" Discord placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Sombra," he said to him. "With your help, we'll get a better chance of winning back Celestia and Luna."
"And what are my Changelings and myself?!" Chrysalis demanded angrily. "Chopped autumn leaves?!"
"Oh, cool it," Discord said to her in annoyance. "You'll get your fun." The Changeling Queen just rolled her eyes, obviously not amused.
"If what you say is true, Discord," Sombra said to his comrade, "then I will help. When do we leave for Canterlot?"
"Immediately."
