Chapter 10
Retrieving The Crystal Heart
Twilight, Neo and Spike were climbing up the stairs of the tower in the Crystal Empire Castle, knowing that in the top of the tower, they will find the crystal heart.
Neo was climbing the tower wall like Spider-Man and Twilight was performing an anti-gravity spell and she was sliding up the underside of the staircase with Spike riding on her. But over at the crystal faire, the crystal ponies saw the fake crystal heart and they finally found out that King Sombra is trying to take back the empire.
Both Neo and Twilight made it to the top of the tower within 5 minutes. Inside the tower, Neo and Twilight saw the crystal heart, it was a light blue sparkling crystal heart and it was suspended above a wide circular disc. Twilight got excited and she went over to get the heart. But when Twilight stepped onto the disc, it began flashing like an alarm, alerting King Sombra.
King Sombra used his dark magic to throw up a wall of black crystals around the perimeter of the disc, trapping both Twilight and Spike. But before Twilight got trapped, she knocked the heart out of it's prison just in time and it landed on the floor a few feet away from Neo.
Neo got scared when he saw Twilight and Spike trapped by the black crystals. He wanted to see if he could free them but Twilight told him not to come near her or he will get trapped as well.
Twilight tried to get out, but the crystals just kept pushing her back in.
Twilight was so disappointed in herself, "How could I have been so foolish? I was just so eager to get it! Then when I saw what was going on outside, I..."
Spike cut her off and said, "You have to get out of here, Twilight! You have to be the one who brings the crystal heart to Princess Cadence! If you don't, you'll fail Celestia's test!"
"There's no time, King Sombra is already attacking the Empire. He could reach the Crystal Ponies at any moment... reach Princess Cadance, my brother, my friends. There may not be enough time for me to find a way to escape."
Twilight looked at Neo and said, "Neo, you have to be the one to bring the crystal heart to the Faire."
Neo made a surprised look, "But you have to."
Twilight told Neo that he has to be the one to take the crystal heart to the faire, it was the only way.
Meanwhile over in the crystal faire, Applejack was trying to assure the crystal ponies that the real crystal heart would be there any second, but the crystal ponies were freaking out because of King Sombra.
Then King Sombra appeared standing on the black cloud, he shouted, "My crystal slaves!"
Up in the tower, Neo quickly grabbed the crystal heart. He spun around and his body glowed, when he stopped glowing and spinning, he was now wearing a blue shirt with the Superman logo on it. Neo went out on the balcony of the castle with the crystal heart.
Neo shouted down to the crystal ponies, "Hey everypony, I've got the crystal heart!"
King Sombra overheard, he looked down and saw Neo holding the crystal heart, he shouted, "That is mine!"
King Sombra began charging down at Neo. Knowing he had to act fast, Neo jumped off the tower.
As he jumped, Rarity shouted, "Neo, NO!"
But then Neo started flying through the air like Superman, then Rarity said, "Oh right, I forgot he can fly."
Neo flew through the air like Superman carrying the crystal heart in his hand with King Sombra chasing him through the air. Neo played the Superman theme with his mind and shot a Superman logo in the air and it disappeared.
Princess Cadence and Shining Armor came to the faire and saw King Sombra chasing Neo through the air. Princess Cadence was relieved to see that Neo had the crystal heart.
Will Neo be able to get the crystal heart to Princess Cadence before King Sombra catches him, Neo can't keep flying away from King Sombra for very long. If you want to know what happens next, find out in the next exciting chapter.
