My Little Pony: Changelings

"Soldiers, are you ready? This is a dangerous war, but I believe you can handle it."

Shining Armor walked on the Crystal Square, conducting the final training for the pony soldiers in front of him. Inside the castle, Princess Cadence held Snowheart in her arms, then turned around and spoke to Princess Amore.

"Even without the Element of Harmony, we can still cope with it, right?"

"Of course, the power of the crystal heart is beyond imagination. It is very powerful, and I know how to use the crystal heart completely~"

As soon as Princess Amore finished speaking, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky. Spike flew over and signaled to them that it was behind him, indicating that the dragons had arrived at the Crystal Empire. Zhenqi stood on a giant dragon and waved his hooves towards the ground. At the same time, black crystals emerged from the ground. After Sombra and Radiant Hope stepped out of the hooves, the yaks followed closely behind and rushed out.

"Hohoho, the pony is in need, here comes Ark!"

"Prince Luther, long time no see."

"Honorary friend, Ake is glad to see you again."

Prince Luther gave Flame a big hug, and then separated his hooves as Flame looked uncomfortable. Shining Armor came over and said to them.

"I'm glad you're making an effort for world peace. The Wasteland Shadow Demons use the power of fear to strengthen their tribe. I think there are no creatures braver than you two."

"Akko has no fear!"

Along with Prince Luther's shouts, the yaks stomped their hooves to show their courage. Yak is definitely very powerful and they are not afraid at all!

"Where are those demons? I can't help but fight them now. Oh... and do you mind if we eat some crystals? They smell so good..."

"Of course I don't mind. As long as you don't eat the Crystal Heart and our house, you can eat whatever you want. After all, nearly 70% of the gems exported by the Dragon Clan are produced by the Crystal Empire."

After hearing Shining Armor's assurance, the dragons of the Dragon Clan praised him one after another, feeling that the trip was worthwhile. A country built with crystals, a paradise! They must not let those things destroy this paradise!

As time went by, the atmosphere in the Crystal Empire became more and more solemn. The dragons were lying on the houses, the yaks were hiding inside the houses, the crystal ponies had already hidden in the basement of the castle, and Shining Armor stood in the square, leading the soldiers to be ready for battle.

Black and purple smoke came from afar, rushing towards the direction of the Crystal Empire. With the support of the magic power of the Crystal Heart, the smoke was blocked outside.

There were crackling sounds coming from the protective shield. Ribia used the magic power she had gained to force a hole in it, and the wasteland shadow demons poured in one after another.

"Crystal Empire, we are back!"

Sombra also walked over at this time. Hope Radiance looked at Sombra who was leaving, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Princess Amore patted her shoulder, telling her not to worry.

"Rabia."

"Sombra, you dare to face us. We gave you a body, taught you direction, and made you a powerful weapon, but you betrayed us."

"That's right. I am no longer the shadow demon of the wasteland who only knows how to seek revenge. I am now a pony with a family and friends. I will not run away."

"Well, you'll pay the price."

After saying that, Ribia waved her hoof and the wasteland shadow demons rushed down. At the same time, dragons and yaks also rushed over from the surroundings, and for a moment it became a scene of melee everywhere.

A Wasteland Shadow Fiend was flying in the air. The Yak below could not touch it, but it could play tricks on it with its hooves. Then Jiaba rushed over and hit the Wasteland Shadow Fiend. When it was about to stand up, it was knocked away by the Yak.

On the other side, the wasteland shadow demons finally overturned a yak, but the helpers who followed closely scattered them and then defeated them one by one.

It was obvious that the horse herd tactics were successful. There was only one group of wasteland shadow demons left, minus the part that was swallowed by the stars. They had not gained strength for a long time and were attacked by the dragons and Yak. As expected, they fell into a disadvantage.

Ribia was furious when she saw this. If they continued like this, defeat would be a matter of time. She seized the opportunity and repelled Sombra. Then, she opened her cloak and spoke to the surrounding wasteland shadow demons.

"Gather together and show them the power of the evil law!"

After hearing this, the Wasteland Shadow Fiends flew over with a rumble, bypassing the animals blocking the way, and gathered in Ribia's black robe. As the Wasteland Shadow Fiends gathered, Ribia's aura became stronger and stronger. Finally, after the last Wasteland Shadow Fiend entered, Ribia became extremely huge.

“I feel great now!”

Just as Ribia was about to let the magic power surge in her eyes and was ready to destroy those who were blocking her in one fell swoop, a rainbow light surged, and Ribia looked over with disgust.

Radiant Hope, Princess Cadence, and Princess Amore formed a triangle and cast their magic on the crystal heart in the center. The rainbow light was the magic reflected from the crystal heart.

"Damn it, it's this nasty thing again. I'm going to destroy it, so that we, the Wasteland Shadow Demons, can gain permanent freedom!"

After that, Ribia rushed forward with rainbow light, and knocked away the dragons and yaks that blocked her way. Just as she was about to touch the crystal heart, Princess Amore stood up and said.

"Rabia, after a thousand years, you are still so...arrogant."

Watching the crystal heart bursting with dazzling light, Ribia's thoughts could not help but recall the moment a thousand years ago, when Princess Amore did the same thing, using this crystal heart that emerged from the crystal vein to drive the wasteland shadow demons into prison. Now...

"No! Absolutely not!"

Ribia attacked the crystal heart frantically and devoured the power and life of other wasteland shadow demons madly to increase her strength, but she was still blocked by the magic power surging from the crystal heart.

As her magic power grew stronger, Rebia finally turned into a point of light amidst her unwilling roar. The wasteland shadow demons in her body were once again sealed in the land of darkness.

In the distant Shadow Prison, red crystals were shining. The prison was strengthened again, just like it was a thousand years ago. The wasteland shadow demons stayed together decadently, looking at their few remaining compatriots, they had become disheartened.

"We won."

"Yes, we succeeded."

Sombra couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the stars floating in the sky, but when he saw Radiant Hope looking at him with a smile, he felt that it was all worth it.
