Chapter 11

Defeating King Sombra

Neo was flying through the air like Superman with the crystal heart in his hands as King Sombra was chased him through the air, trying to take the crystal heart from Neo. Neo wasn't about to let King Sombra take the heart, so Neo flew as fast as he could to get away from the evil king. King Sombra had fully penetrated Neo's devices that had been generating his force field, so now the force field was disabled and King Sombra could now invade the empire.

The crystal ponies, Neo's friends, the Mortal Kombat warriors, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence were watching Neo fly through the air with the crystal heart as he was trying to get away from King Sombra.

Princess Cadence shouted to Neo, "Neo, bring me the crystal heart! Don't let King Sombra have it, please bring it to me!"

Neo knew he had to give the crystal heart to Princess Cadence so she and the crystal ponies could power the heart with light and love to defeat King Sombra. Every now and then, Neo would turn around and give the middle finger at King Sombra just to aggravate him, which infuriated King Sombra.

Now King Sombra was about to surround Neo with his black cloud, darkness started to surround him. Suddenly, a laser fired at King Sombral. King Sombra screamed and looked back, Neo looked back as well and so did everypony that was watching the chase.

Everypony saw an aircraft flying through the air, it was an X-Wing Starfighter ship (Like in Star Wars). Malachi was flying the X-Wing and he was shooting at King Sombra. Malachi was joined by 2 other X-Wing Starfighter ships, they were piloted by Kung Lao and Stryker.

All 3 X-Wing ships had a princess cutie mark on them to represent the princesses of Equestria. Malachi's had the sun which represented Princess Celestia. Stryker's had the moon which represented Princess Luna, and Kung Lao's had a crystal heart which represented Princess Cadence.

Everypony cheered as the X-Wing ships shot at King Sombra and they had hope that they would be saved. They were giving Neo a chance to get the crystal heart to Princess Cadence.

Malachi, Kung Lao and Striker played loud music as they flew the X-Wings and fought King Sombra ("Looks Like Trouble" by The Virus).

The X-Wings shot at King Sombra, distracting him while Neo flew down. Neo landed on the ground and he ran over to Princess Cadence. He handed her the crystal heart and said, "I think this belongs to you."

Princess Cadence was so happy. Neo gave her a kiss on the cheek, she blushed and said, "Thank you my friend."

The crystal ponies were so happy to see that the crystal heart had returned. Princess Cadence used her magic to make the crystal heart float above them. She said to the crystal ponies, "The Crystal Heart has returned. Use the light and love within you to ensure that King Sombra does not."

"No, Stop!" King Sombra shouted angrily.

Princess Cadence tossed the heart under the castle over to the snowflake pattern, the crystal heart floated above the snowflake pattern and the pattern glowed bright blue. All the crystal ponies regained their crystallized colors and they all bowed down to Princess Cadence. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor also turned crystallized colors as well.

Blue light began to spread throughout the empire. The light retracted and concentrated into the crystal heart, causing it to spin rapidly, which generated a sphere of light that exploded and engulfed the empire. The mane 6 and Spike also turned crystallized colors like the crystal ponies. Everypony was now crystallized except the humans, but the crystal heart power protected them as well.

Over in another dimension, the dark figure that released King Sombra saw what was happening in the Crystal Empire. The dark figure created a dark force that would prevent any attack from the empire on King Sombra. Then a huge blast fired at King Sombra, but the dark force appeared and prevented the blast from hitting King Sombra.

Everypony couldn't believe it, a dark force was preventing their love energy from hitting King Sombra. King Sombra laughed an evil laugh, thinking he had won. King Sombra took his dark cloud form and was going to surround the empire in darkness.

As his dark cloud grew, the X-Wings flew into his dark cloud, they knew that they could defeat King Sombra if they shoot him directly in the heart.

The X-Wings flew around inside the cloud and King Sombra's face chased them, trying to stop them. Everypony was watching and hoping that there was still hope that they could be saved.

As Neo was watching, he looked to his right and to his surprise, he saw Shirley Temple once again. She was wearing a white ballerina dress and a crown on her head. She danced and sang the song that she had been singing to Neo once again ("My Country Tis' of Thee"). Then she stood still, she smiled at Neo and disappeared again.

Neo kept wondering why he kept seeing Shirley Temple. And every time he saw her, she kept singing that song. Maybe it was a message for him.

Then it came to him. "That's it. That song glorifies patriotism, maybe that song is the key to defeating King Sombra."

Neo ran over to the crystal heart, he stood facing the crystal heart. He looked at the heart and sang the song ("My Country Tis' of Thee). He sang in an incredibly loud voice, the song could be heard throughout the entire Crystal Empire.

After Neo sang that song, the crystal heart glowed and King Sombra started getting weak. Neo kept singing the song and every time he sang it, King Sombra got weaker, giving the X-Wing fighters a chance to defeat him.

Malachi flew through the darkness, he saw where King Sombra's heart was, it was black and horrible looking. Right when Malachi approached the heart, Malachi shot 5 times at the heart, hitting it.

"Yippie-Ki-Yay motherfucker!" Malachi shouted as the shots hit King Sombra's heart.

Then Malachi and the other 2 X-Wings began flying out of the darkness as fast as they could. King Sombra began crying in agony, the shots Malachi fired at him were hurting him badly. Kung Lao and Stryker made it out of the black cloud, but Malachi was still trying to get out.

Everypony watched and hoped that Malachi would make it out in time. Then King Sombra screamed loudly, and he exploded.

Right when King Sombra exploded, Malachi flew out of the darkness, cheering loudly. Everypony cheered as Malachi made it out and King Sombra screamed as he exploded. Twilight and Spike had been watching everything from the tower and they were so happy. They were victorious once again thanks to Neo and his friends.

After King Sombra was destroyed, the darkness disappeared. The black crystals he had placed around the empire disappeared, including the ones that had trapped Twilight and the ones that had been encrusted in Shining Armor's horn. . The entire empire was back to normal.

Rarity just loved her crystallized body now, she adored it so much. The castle was now in a beautiful appearance instead of a dark scary appearance like it was before.

The crystal on top of the castle began to shine, white light shot up from the castle's base to the top crystal and it fired a ribbon of energy into the sky which resulted in one final, ground-shaking blast of blue light above the empire that dispersed the black clouds and dark skies forever. The ribbon radiated into many pink, blue, and yellow ribbons that look similar to the Northern Lights. The ribbons of light were visible from Ponyville and Canterlot.

Over at Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna saw the ribbons of light from the castle windows.

Princess Celestia smiled happily and said, "They did it my sister, King Sombra is no more."

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna crossed their horns together and smiled at each other, knowing that the Crystal Empire was back to normal and Equestria was safe once again thanks to Twilight and her human friend Neo.
