So my Nightmares are not an isolated incedent and now its time I got some answers from the ruling power in the crystal empire, I just hope the Cage in my head holds otherwise I fear what may unfold between me and my friends.
== Transcript ==
(The Ed Trio & the Mane 6 arrived at the Ponyville Train Station to wait for both Darkstorm & the Friendship Express.)
Double G: (as the group wait for Darkstorm) There we go, we're right on schedule.
Darkstorm:(Smokes in) sorry I'm late
Twilight: Its ok, but listen if we are heading to the Crystal Empire I think its time to use the spell we were working on (blasts Darkstorm with a spell)
Darkstorm: (Turning into a pony to help him blend in) How do I look?
Twilight: Oh my
Double G: It is definitely an unique look.
Eddy Green: Sweet Spell Twilight, this will be a perfect cover for Darkstorm.
Rarity: Anyway, it's best we get on board the train before it leaves.
Applejack: Right, once the train arrives, everypony inside.
Darkstorm: No arguments here
Ed Trio, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy & Rarity: (head inside the Friendship Express with Darkstorm & Twilight Sparkle)
Eddy Green: First stop, the Crystal Empire!
Pinkie Pie: Oh Boy, oh boy! This is exciting! Can't wait to see the Crystal Empire once again.
The train leaves the station puffing on its way to the next station.
Darkstorm: (Relaxing)
Twilight Sparkle: It would also be nice to see my brother Shining Armour & his wife, Princess Cadence again.
Darkstorm: You said she had a kid.
Twlight Sparkle: Oh yes. The first born baby alicorn, Flurry Heart.
Eddy Green: Born? Alicorn? (Laughing a bit) Your kidding, right?
Rainbow Dash: We're kidding, wrong. The three of you & Darkstorm might be in for a bit of a shock.
Double G: If it's possible then I have so many questions that must have answers.
Ed Wreck: Coochie coochie coo.
Darkstorm: I have five kids back home, I miss them all the time.
Fluttershy: Aww, I think you make a cute & brave father figure, Darkstorm. I would very much like to meet your five kids soon.
Darkstorm: I will see what I can do and if the dimensional bridge will hold.
the train speeds down the tracks towards the Crystal Empire before hitting a heavy blizzard.
Eddy Green: Geez, I'd forgot how cold the Frozen North is.
Double G: Hopefully we'll see the Crystal Empire soon once we pass this heavy blizzard. Make sure we packed our snow gear.
Rarity: Well the Crystal Empire is bright & sunny the last time we checked. How can it be a blizzard of the Frozen North here?
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm... hopefully we're not too late.
Darkstorm's chest glows with dragons fire to keep him warm
Darkstorm: (Stretching his wings and nips at them cleaning them) I assume that its a walk to the Empire?
(the train stops at the station)
Twilight Sparkle: We're here. (Exits the train with the Mane 6, Ed Trio & Darkstorm)
Ed Wreck: (shiver a bit from the cold while wearing snow clothes with the group) Cold...!
Rarity: One pony can never be too preprared with the right equipment.
Darkstorm:(Sighs not being affected by the cold thanks to the flames in his chest warming him)
Eddy Green: Come on, let's get going. The sooner we warn the Crystal Empire about this Sombreo guy, the better.
Double G: Its pronounced, Sombra, Eddy.
Eddy Green: You know what I mean. (Head out to the Crystal Empire on hoof with Ed Wreck, Double G & the Mane 6)
Fluttershy: (gulps a bit) Hopefully, it won't be too much trouble... (shivers a bit while she is near Darkstorm, a bit frightful on about King Sombra's return)
Darkstorm: (drapes a wing around her heating up his wing to keep her warm) You alright?
Twilight: You seem to have acclimated to the new form.
Darkstorm: Its not the first time I was turned into a nondipedal individual.
Twilight: Oh?
Darkstorm: Long story short I was once turned into a while for a few hours back home.
Twilight: (Imagining Darkstorm as a wolf and giggles to herself)
Ed Wreck: Like a werewolf? (howls like a werewolf) Awoooo!
Rainbow Dash: (giggles a bit) No, not that kind of wolf, Ed.
Fluttershy: (imagining Darkstorm as a wolf, thinking it be very cute, while giggling to herself a well)
Double G: According to my calculations & if they are correct, we should be near the front entrance to the Crystal Empire. Be weary thou, sunglasses might be needed incase of flashing lights from the crystals,
Darkstorm:(smiles keeping Fluttershy next to him to keep her warm with his Dragons fire before howling like a wolf) Alrighty then.
Twilight:(Giggles from his howl)
Eddy Green: (seeing the Crystal Empire) Holy cow! No wonder it's called the Crystal Empire.
Pinkie Pie: Now you know. We have a bit of history here, even when the Crystal Empire had hosted the Equestria Games here before.
Darkstorm: Reminds me of home; bustling city life, lively trade, and semi-good politics.
Twilight: I assume politics are not your strong suit?
Darkstorm: Not really no.
Double G: Oh, we might've figured.
Darkstorm: But it has to be done for the good of the kingdom
Luna: Flies in) All too true Darkstorm
Twilight:(Bows)
Luna: There are some things you all should know (Ears lower)
Darkstorm: You saw my nightmares
Luna: As Princess of the Night I tread in the realm of dreams, however yours was unlike I have seen, I fear that even Nightmare Moon would keep her distance from what I saw. But that is not all Sombra came to me when I woke in bed.
Darkstorm: What happened?
Luna: (Sighs)
Twilight: He offered a deal?
Luna; Unfortunately yes.
Twilight: Does Celestia know?
Luna: Yes.
Darkstorm: Do not take the deal.
Luna: Darkstorm
Darkstorm: I have seen it all before someone offered a deal to save their people only to be a dark lie.
