OK so updates won't be as often. School is almost out and my teachers are bombarding us with home work. I'm sorry about not posting in a month. I've been... busy. My dad just came home from the army last week, and I've been having writers block. Sue me. Ok, here it is!

The barracks were empty, and the bunk beds had light blankets neatly folded. Everything was shined and perfect, except for the creepy feeling. Soft music was playing in the background. The lights were blue and white. The place felt like a horror movie.

SLAM! The doors closed with a loud bang, "Ok, we're trapped now." Wishful murmured. I noticed that I had whacked Locked and DreamCatcher in the face with my wings.

"Um… Princess, wings?" Dreamcatcher said. Her wings were folded against her teal body. I nodded and folded my wings. This was all too much. Everything that had happened in the past few days was just too much, becoming a pony, evil unicorn dad, my prophecy that I still didn't know about!

"Let's just stay here for the night," Locked checked his armor pocket watch, "It's already eleven o'clock." Locked and DreamCatcher were on first watch. I fell asleep easily.

"Midnight, He's just playing games. Don't listen to him!" I heard Twilights voice. And then a pair of glowing green and red eyes opened in front of me. Purple magic was flowing out them.

"Sombra." I growled.

An evil laughter echoed through the dream, "Soon. Soon you will join me, and that blasted key will be destroyed. I'm waiting. You have one more day until your friends hearts go as black as mine! You've been warned!" I woke with a start. It was noticeably colder and everyone was shaking.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Something was on the other side of the door, and i didn't want to be the one to open the door. Locked ran up to me.

"Midnight, I think we're under attack. Everyone grab a weapon! Be prepared to fight!" he shouted. As soon as I grabbed a weapon, the door burst open.

A troop of two dozen animatronic ponies crawled through the door. They were all grey crystal and wire. It felt like Five Nights At Freddy's, and I was the night guard.

Everyone was chopping and fighting. Wires and crystal was everywhere. I was cornered by one with a sword. When it tried to lunge at me, I took my sword and plunged it in the chest. Locked was being attacked, and so was Dean. I ran over to Locked and fought off the animatronic. Dean had pushed his off, and his jacket was torn.

"That was pure leather from Manehatten!" he yelled. His brown coat was dirty and went pretty well with his black hair.

After about an hour of fighting, the animatronics had been… Put out of order. We sat on the bunks, exhausted and passing out rations. My armor was being polished by wishful, she was such a nice mare.

"Your Highness, we should be moving out soon. We are awaiting your command." Crystal said saluting.

I nodded, "Ok, now lets move out. From what I can remember, the throne room is through this door, and down a few hallways." I said. We packed everything up, and walked out the hole in the crystal door.

We roamed a few halls until we came to the throne room. I saw a pale pink figure laying by the throne. A white and blue body was lying next to it.

"My Child. You have come to face your destiny. Nobody can save you now!" Sombra appeared in the throne. His red cape looked like it had been dyed with the blood of innocent ponies. A greyish blue mare with a greyish pink mane came in with a plate of grapes.

A wave of black smoke washed over everyone.

When I could see again, I was at the mirror in Twilights castle. Discord and the gang were safe and ok.

"Good Bye Payton. Visit again soon!" Fluttershy squeaked sadly. Pinkie pie was bawling her eyes out.

"Don't go! Equestria won't be the same!" She cried.

I waved good bye and gave them all hugs. I tried to walk through the mirror. It was smooth glass.

I turned around and everyone's eyes were a blood red. My ears folded back, "Now you can stay with us, Forever." Rainbow Dash said blankly.

"Payton! Payton! Can you hear me? Its Twilight! Don't be scared, It's not real!" Twilight's voice called. I shook my head and everything changed. I was in a prison cell with Twilight and Discord.

"Are you ok? You got hit by a nasty blast of alicorn magic." She said.

My Eyes started to spew purple aura, "I think so. My head hurts really bad though." I shook my head again so the magic stopped.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"We're in Som-"

I was teleported into the throne room. All my troop was chained and turned a little shades grey.

"The Fourth trial. Come at me." Sombra said.

"Geronimo." I growled.
