Yep, i'm back on track with this story, and yes i'm trying hard not to skip bits here for most of the action, so yeah, you guys know the stuff, read, review and comment!

EEEENNNNNNNJJJJJOOOOOOYYYYY

Twilight and Luna had arrived at the Crystal Empire. It looked just how Twilight had seen it first time. Dark and hopeless. For now at least. The carriage had landed on a spot and of course... guards where there. As the two princesses stepped out, they noticed the castle. Of course. One could see them everywhere. Dark Crystals. As the two entered the castle they were both greeted by and voice that Twilight could not hate enough.

"Greetings my guests, i hope your ride was pleasurable." Said the voice of Sombra.

"If you mean by almost being tricked into turning evil then no." Twilight plainly said.

"How were you even able to see that?" Luna asked curiously.

"I told you auntie, i do my research." Twilight responded. Sombra then appeared in front of the two princesses.

"What i want to know is how did you almost defeated me when we first re-met. I'm quite curious about you doing so." Sombra asked with an evil smirk. 'She's gotta tell us now...' he mentally crackled to himself.

"Must have lost my mind." Twilight simply responded. This annoyed Sombra more. To the point that he was thinking of strangling her until she gave in. The only thing that was stopping him was the fact that Princess Luna was there.

Twilight however, knew he felt a little annoyed at her response. Honestly, she wasn't gonna risk other ponies knowing how she did it. She did remember what happened, but she just covered everything up. She knew that if her mother knew, surly she'd keep asking and testing her magic, and that was annoying. As well as that, she'd be under the eyes of her mother 24/7 hours a day, due to the magic strong enough to over throw her own mother.

The 'mystery power' had appeared when she first gone nuts, when she felt angry at something, only when she was majorly angry, not normal anger. She had the strength to overthrow somepony as strong as Sombra when she had that power. It took major time training herself to calm down and to control her anger, but she ended up getting there.

"Anyways... Why don't i show you two ladies to your rooms...? To let you unpack." Sombra said after some time of silence.

"That would be lovely." Luna replied. Sombra showed Luna to her room since it was closer, and he wanted to talk to Twilight on his own.

Once he had dropped Luna off at her own room, he walked Twilight over to her room. Like always... he was planning things.

"So Princess Twilight..." He started.

"What is it...?" Twilight growled. She seriously couldn't hate this stallion enough.

"I wanted to know... How did you do that?" He asked. He could feel her anger growing.

"Do... what?" She asked. She knew that if she continued to let her anger grow, it would lead to problems. He felt her anger grow less.

"Almost defeat me? I know you're hiding something Princess..." He replied. 'How can she control it...?' He thought.

"Like i told my auntie... Must have lost my mind..." Twilight smirked. Oh she knew this must have got him crazy... she felt his anger grow.

And, he was frustrated. He literally felt like throwing her to the wall... 'Not yet' he thought, 'It's too early to get it out of her...'

"If you say so Princess..." He told her. Now she felt his anger grow less as he spoke. But she knew. Deep. Deep, deep down... He was more frustrated than Pinkie when somepony broke a pinkie promise. The two then reached a turn.

Hoof steps. It's what Twilight heard apart from Sombra's and her own. Somepony was following them. She tensed up, and stopped. Sombra noticed this, and stopped as well.

"What is it...?" He asked rolling his eyes.

"Shh..." Twilight replied. He ears twitched. Yes. Somepony was DEFIANTLY watching them. Following them. Sombra only just then noticed she had a necklace. It glowed. Once its glowing stopped, Twilight nodded.

"What was that about?" Sombra asked impatiently.

"Just keep walking..." She whispered. They did so with Sombra noticing how alert she was, yet she was calm, as if she knew what she was doing.

Sombra was trying to be pleasant, in all honesty, he was trying. But he couldn't help but hate it when a guest more over a girl took over and told him what to do.

Twilight suddenly turned around and flipped somepony over. It was a guard, a stallion. He had a pure back coat, and his mane and tail where both a misty dark blue colour, and his eyes where a deep baby blue. (I think i'm waaaaaaaay too attached to blue...) His cutiemark was a (and here we go again..) Sword with a star behind it where half was shaded in black and the other half was in white.

"whoa" He just said, wincing at the pain he had on his back. Twilight just glared at him, when she was about to ask him who he was, she noticed a symbol, so, she let him go.

"Guard of yours?" She asked.

"Yes, why do you need to know." Sombra replied.

"You need to teach them to be more discrete. I could hear this one from a mile away." Twilight replied smirking as she let the guard go.

"Blade is my best guard!" Sombra growled.

"The best can always get better though." Twilight told him rolling her eyes. Now Sombra was annoyed with her. Judging her guards? Not something he could take lightly. Suddenly an idea clicked in his head.

If she showed what she was capable of infront of Princess Luna and his prisonors then they were bound to not be as proud as they where of her. THEN he could try to get her on his side.

"Well if you think he's not so good then i'd be happy to see what 'good' is to you." He challenged. She smirked. He thought she that he had Twilight locked down... when in fact...

TWILIGHT'S P.O.V.

Oh lord. He actually thinks he got me pinned? This girl isn't going to be pinned so easily. Oh no I 'ain't...

NOPONY'S POV...

"Sorry Sombra but this princess is going to keep this secret from anypony else... Oh and by the way you need better guards." Twilight told him. He bit his lip to stop him from screaming out loud and strangling and threatening her until she gave in. He needed her to give in.

She was a great fighter and defender. He also needed her to join his side and not rebel against it.

But then again she'd be here... forever. Right?

According to their deal she was a 'guard' for her aunt and was to go wherever Princess Luna went for protection. Her aunt was getting married to him so... wouldn't Twilight need to stay there with her aunt? It was part of their deal after all and it was in exchange for 'his prisonors' to go free.

Sombra wickedly laughed t himself as the set off right after she helped his 'royal guard captain' up and letting him set off as she help onto the smirk she had on her lavender face. They arrived with a few extra turns and twists of the mirrored walls and corridors.

He left her to be for a while going to see his 'captain' to have a 'little talk' with him. His captain would probably be VERY helpful with his newly hatched plan that was forming in his head- This was going to be a VERY interesting stay with the new 'royals'.

BEFORE you all start saying 'this chapter is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too short' and 'WHY NOT LONGER?' It's because i'm sorta working on three ideas at once- okay?

But I PROMISE i'll try and get a longer chapter later. My normal aim for a chapter is 3000+ words. But since lately I've got more time i'm gonna start hatching up new plans for this story. Reason why I say this one is because I know the plot- ish- and I know i'll get this finished. plus- before I use to write it all down then all i'd need to do was copy but it would take longer since there was also an edit to be done.

So i'll be working on my next chapter too- it's what I do after I finish a chaper to this story. Oh well

H OUT- :)
